FROM THE PAPERS. The failure is announced of Baron Grant, with liabilities amounting to 2680,000. A Liberal Club has been established in Birmingham, with Mr. John Bright, M.P., as president. The City of Glasgow Bank relief fund amounted on Friday, January 31st to £ 364,145. Thomas Mumford, sentenced to death for the murder of his wife at Dover, has been respited. Mr. Gladstone has formally accepted the invitation to contest Midlothian. Thomas Richardson, sentenced to death at Newcastle for the murder of John Hart, a miner, has been re- prieved.. The subscriptions towards the restoration of the Bir- mingham Library amount to 213,000 or £3,000 in excess of the amount originally asked. Mr. Gladstone has promised to lecture on the Life and Labours of Dr. Hook," in the Hawarden Schools, on Monday, February 10. m Tx In a lecture delivered in London last week, Dr. Richardson denounced football, without qualification, as a brutal savage, and insane pastime. The formal installation of the Marquis of Hartmgton as Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh took place on Friday, January 31. The income of the Bible Society, owing principally to new and extraordinary demands upon its resources, falls short of the expenditure by E15,000, and it is, therefore, making a special appeal for assistance. A large number of persons employed in the engineering and shipbuilding trades of Liverpool and Birkenhead struck work on Friday, January 31, against the proposed reduction of wages. Mr. Prideaux, Q.C.. the commissioner, gave judgment in the municipal election petition against the return of Mr. J. Hampden Jackson for Great George ward, Liver- pool, on Thursday, Jun. 30, holding the election void. After a week's strike, 2,000 colliers in the employ of the Abernant and Plymouth Company, Merthyr, have resumed work at the 10 per cent. wages reduction, in preference to having the Company's pits closed altogether. A piece of plate was presented to the Duke of Con- naught on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Buckingham Palace, as a testimony of respect from the officers of the London Irish Rifles, of which regiment his Royal Highness has been honorary colonel for over eight years. The freedom of the City of London is to be presented to Sir Rowland Hill, in acknowledgement of the great social and commercial benefits this country has derived from the adoption, in 1840, of his system of .uniform penny postage.. At a meeting of the general committee of the Wesleyan Methodist Thanksgiving Fund, held in London on Thurs- day, January 30th, it was stated that the subscriptions had reached the sum of £ 61,766, of which 29,013 had been paid. The funeral of the late Dr. M'Neile took place at Bournemouth Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, February 1, in the midst of a severe snowstorm, which hindered the attandance of many friends of the deceased. Earl Cairns and the Bishop of Peterborough were among the mourners. At a public meeting, held at Cardiff on Monday, February 3, presided over by the Mayor, it was decided to raise a fund for the support of the widows and orphans of the miners whose lives were lost in the recent explosion at the Dinas Colliery. It was stated that there are forty- nine widows and 129 orphans left destitute. Mr. A. M. Sullivan, M.P., on Saturday, Feb. 1, laid the foundation stones of new Roman Catholic schools for Crewe, which are to accommodate 1,000 children, with a silver trowel, presented to him by the Crewe Branch of the Home Rule Association. The Home Rulers of Crewe subsequently presented Mr. Sullivan with an address. Lord Aberdare, in distributing the prizes to successful scholars of four different schools at Mountain Ash, South Wales, on Saturday, February 1, contended that the strike in South Wales in 1875 had been so disastrous that the neighbourhood had never recovered it. The interests of education had greatly suffered through it, and these particular schools were now considerably in debt, having had an unfavourable balance ever since 1875. Mr. Bret Karte, the American poet and humorist, had a favourable reception on making his first appearance in England as a public lecturer in the Opera House of the Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening, January 28. His lecture was a written essay, entitled "The Argonauts of '49." On Sunday, February 2, the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, was destroyed by fire. Several persons who were on the premises had narrow escapes of their lives. The theatre wa.s built twelve years ago, at a cost of C30,000, and the loss is only partially covered by insurance. Damage esti- mated at £ 20,000 has been caused by the burning of Ains- worth cotton mill, near Bolton,' on Saturday. The premises were insured. A large meeting was held on Monday, Feb. 3, in the Town Hall, Kilkenny, to protest against the Sunday Closing Act. The Mayor presided, and the local brewers and licensed victuallers attended in a body. Resolutions strongly condemning the Act were passed. It was also resolved that steps be taken to procure the repeal of the measure, which withheld from Kilkenny privileges granted to other towns. The Times correspondent at Tirnova says that the name ,f Mr. G'adotonf- heard frequently there as one of the probable candidates for the throne of Bulgaria. The Bulgarians have no doubt learned to appreciate Mr. Glad- stone's ability as a statesman, and aiso III* high moral worth, but they can scarcely have regarded inm in the light of even a probable" candidate for the throne of the new principality. Divine service was held twice on Sunday, February 2, at St. James's, Hatcham, the Vicar (Mr. Walker) officiating. No disturbances occurred. A cross and two candlesticks had been placed on the table behind the com- munion table, and prior to the morning service Mr, Saunders, the churchwarden, entered the vestry, and gave a note to the Vicar, which announced his intention of pre- senting him to the Bishop for having replaced the orna- ments in defiance of the Bishop's order. After a strike of three weeks, the mechanics employed at the Menai Foundry, Bangor, resumed work on Monday, Feb. 3, on the employers' terms—a reduction of Is. weekly, and an extension of work on Saturdays until four p.m. At a meeting of the men employed in the ship- building and other trades along the Menai Straits, the ironfoundry workmen, who have been on strike for three weeks, intimated that they would resume work. The others decided to continue on strike. In order to prevent the spread of the plague the Russian Government has resolved to burn down the village of Wetlianka., where the disease has prevailed, and any other village or single buildings that it may be thought necessary to destroy. The inhabitants are to be removed to some other part of the quarantine district, and will receive compensation. Statements explaining the measures of precaution adopted have been forwarded to the European Governments, and the Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Berlin have been requested to send medical men to Russia to ascertain the character and extent of the disease. The Times correspondent at Constantinople speaks of the state of affairs in the Ottoman capital as most un- satisfactory, and he considers a violent crisis at an early date not at all improbable. The Mussulman population is dissatisfied, and even the army is said to be tinged with the same feeling. A competent authority has declared that if the Government be not active the disorder will begin in the barracks and end in the streets. Patrols circulate the streets at night and arbitrarily arrest passengers rumours are current of organised plots and nocturnal arrests. All the symptoms which in other countries would indicate that a great revolution was ready to break out are present. The Bishop of Rochester has addressed a lengthy letter to the Rev. H. A. Walker, the new vicar of St. James's, Hatcham, with reference to the unpleasantness between him and one of the wardens, and the recent unseemly dis- turbances in the church. His lordship says there appear to have been irregularities on both sides, both vicar and churchwarden having exceeded their powers in placing and removing the cross and candlesticks. He thinks the suspension of the services was unjustifiable. Considering the great excitement in the parish, he directs the usual services to be performed next Sunday, and orders that the ornaments shall not be introduced into the church again until a faculty has been obtained. The electric light, so far as the ill unination of Billings- gate Market is concerned, having failed to give satisfaction to the salesmen and others using the market, is to be discontinued. With reference to the recent experiments with it at Westgate-on-Sea, a report of its results has been published, in which it is shown that, although the exhibition of the light as such was most successful, its application is surrounded by so many practical difficulties that no amount of improvement is likely to fit it for adop- tion. Mr. Preece, electrician of the G-eneral Post Office, lecturing in London, on Friday, Jan. 31, on the electric light, said it was a wasteful form of energy, as only a portion of the heat produced was utilised. The sub- division scheme he ranked with perpetual motion.

David Cox's famous picture the Vale of Clwyd,' one of his finest productions, is now to be seen for a short time at Mr. McLear's, Haymarlcet. On Saturday, Feb. 1st, about twelve o clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Thomas Jones, milk dealer, Castle-street, Chester. The places was completely gutted. About £ 500 damage has been caused, and the property destroyed was not insured. A correspondent of Land and Water says that recently a little girl, in passing along a public road between two villages in Fifeshire, eating a piece of bread from her hand, was greatly startled and not a little alarmed at a rook which she had seen perched on a dyke by the way- side darting at the bread she held in her hand and making off with it. No doubt keen hunger tempted the black rogue thus to become so daring a freebooter. At the Wellington Police Court, on Thursday, January 30, Daniel Blantern a native of Silverdale, and Ellen Pearce, of Stafford, tramps, were charged with feloniously assaulting, with intent to rob, Richard Ward. The pro- secutor was passing along a lonely stretch of road between Wrockwardine Wood and St. George's, when the pris- oners violently laid hold of him, and attempted to rob him of his watch, but, fortunately, he had not got it with him, and before they could carry their violence any further a man named Lee came up, and the prisoners decamped. Ward stated that he kept the prisoners at bay for some time with his pocket-knife. P.O. Chrimes apprehended the prisoners at a public house in St. George's the same night. The prisoners were committed for trial at the Shrop- shire Assizes. A long list of previous convictions against e Pearce, at Stafford, was put in; and Blantern, it was stated, had undergone eight months' imprisonment for stealing yeast, at Stafford. in 1878. HOLLOWAY S PILLS AND OINTMENT. -Influenza, Coughs, and Colds.—In diseases of the throat and chest, so preva- lent in our changeable climate, nothing so speedily relieves, or so certainly cures, as these inestimable remedies. These disorders are too often neglected at their commencement, or are IllJudlClOllSly treated, resulting in either case in disastrous consequences. Whatever the condition of the patient, Hollowav s remedies will restore if recovery be possible they will retard the alarming symptons till the blood is purified and nature consummates the cure, gradually restoring strength and vital nervous power. By persevering in the use of Holloway's prepara- tions, tone is conferred on the stomach and frame generally. Thousands of persons have testified that by the use of these remedies alone they have been restored to health after every other means had failed.

FACTS AND FANCIES. END OF AN ADAGE. — A continental telegram an- nounces that American coals are beginning to be sold at Geneva. Perhaps they will soon be on sale at Newcastle. -Punch.- Barham having sent his friend, Sydney Smith, a brace of pheasants, the present was acknowledged in the follow- ing characteristic epistle :—" Many thanks, my dear sir, for your kind present of game. If there is a pure and elevated pleasure in this world, it is that of roast pheasant and bread sauce barndoor fowls for Dissenters but for the real Churchman, the thirty-nine times- articled clerk; the pheasant, the pheasant. Ever yours, S. S." DISTRESS WITHOUT DISTURBANCE.—The prevalent dis- tress is undeniable; but where are the Riots ? We should very soon see, had not Free Trade made the necessaries of life as cheap as they well can be for the masses. The renewal of disturbances would pretty soon be effected by the restoration of Protection under the name of Re- ciprocity.-Punch. THE WAY THINGS GET ABOUT.—Young Smith "They say the Middlesex \nd Jerusalem Bank has smashed." Old Brown: "Bosh! I happen to know the contrary." Young Smith Really Then it must be the Middlesex and something else but I do think there should be some way of punishing the idiots who go spreading these reports about.Punch. A CHAPTER ON NATURAL HISTORY.—Jack: Just look at that sneak of a robin Wouldn't I catapult him if I had a chance Clara Catapult a robin For shame, Jack!" Jack: Oh, it's all very well, but if there is a bird I hate more than another it's a robin. They come sneaking up to you in the winter, when they want crumbs -just like the fellows at school when you've got a hamper-and then, in the summer, when they've got their hamner, they won't look at you Punch. There are several stories "going the rounds" with re- ference to Mr. Irving (the eminent tragedian), which bear testimony to his kindness of heart. One of the stories is as follows (says the Court Journal) :-A brother actor-out of an engagement, and consequently out at elbows some- what-met the tragedian at a well-known rendezvous, and told him that an acquaintance of his had come up from the country for a week, and wanted to see Hamlet. Would Irving give him some paper," or his card, to pass them both in? Irving was very sorry, but he had neither paper nor card about him. If, however, his friend would call at the theatre in an hour's time, he would have some for him. The actor did so, and on opening the envelope ad- dressed to him found an order for two stalls enclosed in some "paper"—a £5 note. AMMONIA IN THE KITCHEN.-The pantry shelves are getting grimy, or finger marks around the door latches and knobs are looking dark and unsightly. For lack of time they are left day after day, for it is hard work to scour all the time, and it wears off the paint too. The husband keeps his bottle of oil, or perhaps a large can holds it, for he never stints in that. Now suppose his wife has her bottle of spirits of ammonia to use. She takes a basin of water and a clean cloth, just puts on a few drops of the fluid and wipes off all the dirt. It is worth more than a half day's labour, and does not hurt the paint either. She could put a few drops in her dish water and see how easily the dishes could be cleaned; a few drops on a sponge would clean all the windows in the sitting- room, making them shine like crystal. It would take the stains off the teaspoons, and a teaspoonful in the mop-pail would do more toward washing up the kitchen floor than ten pounds of elbow grease applied to the mop-handle. A house-wife has just as much right to make her work easy and expeditious as her husband has. If she does not, the fault is her own in a great measure.—Grain Cleaner. It is a very curious fact that Esther Johnson, Swift's "Stella," contemplated the probable abolition of the "Established Episcopal Church" of Ireland. By her vvill, dated December 30, 1727, she bequeathed kl,000, the proceeds of which were to be applied to the maintenance of a chaplain in Steven's Hospital, St. James's-street. The will then proceedsAnd if it should happen (which God forbid) that at any time hereafter the present Established Episcopal Church of this kingdom shall come to be abolished, and be no longer the National Established Church of the said kingdom, I do, in that case, declare wholly null and void the bequest above made of the said 21, 000, or the said land purchased, as far as it relates to the said hospital and chaplain and do hereby absolutely divest the governor of the said hospital of the principal and interest of the said 21,000. And my will is that in the case aforesaid it devolves to my nearest relation then living." It is evident therefore that Stella, as well as Swift, anticipated what was likely to take place. But the use of the words "Established Episcopal Church"—the same that are used by Swift-makes it evident that Stella's will was dictated by the dean. The first Quaker of the Barclay family was a colonel in the great civil wars, and had seen wild work in his day, but in his old age a change came over him, and, becoming a fol- lower of George Fox, he retired to spend his old age on his ancestral estate in Kincardineshire. Here it came to pass that a brother laird thought the old Quaker could easily be done, and began to encroach upon his marshes. Barclay, a strongman with the iron sinews of his race, and their fierce spirit still burning in his eyes, strode up to the ennroacher, and, with a grim smile, spoke thus :—"Friend, thou knowest that I have become a man of peace, and have relinquished strife, and therefore thou art en- deavouring to take what is not thine own but mine, be- cause thou believest that, having abjured the arm of the flesh, I cannot hinder thee. And yet, as thy friend, I advise thee to desist; for shouldest thou succeed in abusing the old Adam within me, perchance he may prove too strong, not only for me, but thee." There was no use attesting to answer such an argument. SMOKING AGAINST FOG AND DAMP.—The smoker, fortifving himself against fog and damp with the cheerful glow of a cigar in front of his face and the fragrant incense beguiling his nostrilc, is apt, (says the Lancet), to forget that nicotine is a potent depressant of the heart's pTtion, We do not assert that it evei^ commonly acts as such when used in moderation, or that a good cigar is to b3 despised. We have no sympathy with prejudices against wine or tobacco, used under proper restriction as to the time and amount of consumption. Meanwhile, it is desirable that these things should be used with an intelligent appreciation of their effects, and it is beyond question that one of the most formidable effects of tobacco is its influence on the heart's action. In warm weather a cigar exercises a cooling influence by lowering the heart's action. In the cold season it may—we do not say it will- possibly depress, and so increase the mischief it is sought to mend. Fogs and cold vapour tend to reduce the oxygenating properties of the air taken into the lungs besides exercising a specific influence on those delicate organs. Tobacco smoke may warm the air it is scarcely possible ,that it can affect its quality or render it innocuous. There is, however, a peril that it may depress the circulation. Hence the need of moderation and care. ♦

FROM LONDON LETTERS. Dr. Kenealy's genius has paled of late. His extinction in Parliament is utter. So the author of The New Pantomime" has returned to his first love, and taken to poetry, prose poetry, and blank verse. It is a terrible composition, as may be guessed from the fact that it is an attempt, in the style of the Prophet Jeremiah, to frighten the Queen with the fear of revolution. It makes her Majesty responsible for all the crimes and all the distress in England at the present hour. Dr. Kenealy says he will speak as Knox spoke to Mary Stuart, and he tells us that there is no pardon for her faults. His warnings are interrupted by a chorus of spirits who are even more Scriptural than Dr. Kenealy himself. At the end of it the Queen bids him visit her again. Whsreupon the disbarred and disbenched M.P. sinks into meditation, and shakes a new dewdrop from his poetic mane. Cries he- I am thy flower; I am thy lost one—take me to thy heart. Many a day have I sighed in solitude, But the hour of happiness at length is come." Which must be poetry because it so completely com- bines fact and fiction. -Liverpool Mercury. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol is getting some hard hits for preaching the doctrine that our cannon are the heralds of the Gospel of Peace. The Church Times, never very particular, and proud of showing its contempt for Dr. Ellicott, is rampant just now. On Thursday- it printed an epigram purporting to be a letter sent by Lord B. to the bishop. Thus it runs— Now do look at your atlas again, little man; You can't get to Durham through Afghanistan And for spreading the Gospel, Paternoster, not pistol. Had better be counselled in Gloucester and Bristol." It is certainly unfortunate for the bishop that when he took to defending war on behalf of the missionaries, the see of Durham was vacant.-Liverpool Mercury. [We be- lieve the Bishop advocated conversion by the sword before there was any talk of Dr. Baring's resignation. The Church Times is not so uniformly just as it is usually smart.—ED.] •The appointment of Dr. Lightfoot to the Bishopric of Durham has been a sore discouragement to the even- gelical party, tor they confidently asserted that Lord Beaconsfield had requested Bishop Baring to nominate his successor. They are distressed to know how to recon- cile the appointment with their belief in the Premier as the "man of God" and the ever-blessed hero of the Public Worship Regulation Act. I should not be sur- prised if the faith of the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol in the Wordsworthian doctrine that Carnage is God's daughter is a bit shaken, for it is perfectly clear that his conviction of the truth of the doctrine was very intimately connected with his conviction that the ascendancy of the Premier was to be preferred for Low Church purposes to the ascendancy of Mr. Gladstone.-Birmingham Post. Brighton, I see, has provided for its citizens a place of entertainment, which is to be open on the Sunday. It is to be called The Nineteenth Century Club," and is to be free to women as well as to men. The rate of subscrip- tion is fixed at 10s. 6d. a year, and is purposely put at so low a figure in order to induce working men to join. Re- freshments, of course, of every kind, are to be provided. The entire burden of starting the club lies upon the shoulders of Mr. Peter Taylor, who, as he modestly says, makes himself the buffer that will stand between the club and the difficulties of initiation." A kind friend has sent me a verbatim copy of Mr. Taylor's speech, at the public meeting held in the town to set the club on its legs, and a very characteristic speech it is—full of common sense and bright cheery humour. One little fact in it, out of many others which deserve notice, I cannot help re- producing here. Mr. Taylor said that, after one of his speeches in the House of Commons, Sir Julian Goldsmid 'vrote to him, and told him that Sabbatarian limitations were regarded by the Jews as applying only to ordinary daily labour and money-getting, and had nothing to do with rational amusement; in fact, many educated Jews, after attending synagogue, frequently went to picture galleries and museums. The superstition, therefore, which reigns in our House of Commons is not Judaical, and it certainly is not Christian. It is exclusively British.— Birmingham Post. Edison beat Bell with his carbon telephone, and has himself been beaten. Mr. Gower, who was a colleague of Dr. Bell on a recent lecturing tour in America, and has since spent his whole time in experimenting on the instru- ment, has discovered that by a modification of the magnet he can so intensify its speaking power as to make it shout forth what is given in whisper. At present the only prac- ticable telephone has to be held against the ear. For the future, even that small trouble will be avoided. In fact, we are not far from the day when a telephone will be placed on the table in the House of Commons in front of the Speaker, and you will have a debate in Parliament actually reproduced, as it proceeds, in Liverpool. Liver- ae V pool Mercury.. Mr. Fawcett will read Lord Hartington s spee«h with delight. Cautious as it is, it says one thing very clearly. It shows that the whole weight of the Liberal leadership will go with him in his attempt to bring the expenditure of India under control. The Secretary of State is now an autocrat. The Government of the day may spend Indian money as it pleases. Parliament may only be asked to sanction expenditure which is pledged. It was against the doctrine that this is in accordance with constitutional principles that Lord Hartington, speaking half in para- bles, protested, and there is no longer any doubt that the Liberal leader will speak and vote for the appointment ot a committee to devise some new fetters for the_unbn ,Ieci licence of negligent Governments.—Liverpool Mercury.

FEBRUARY 5, 1879. NOTES. AN OSWESTRY DESERTER.—A reward of Two Guineas, over and above "what is allowed by Act of Parliament," was offered in Sep., 1803, for the appre- hension of Charles Dyke (servant to Mr. Phipps, of Lower Cound, farmer and paper maker), -who had been balloted to serve in the Shropshire Supplementary Militia, but had absconded. Dyke was thus described :— Supposed to be in the neighbourhood of Oswestry, where his friends reside is about 28 years of age, 5ft. 7in. high, dark com- plexion, and has a speck on one of his eyes." S.P. CARRIERS TO LONDON IN 1637.—Mr. Arbor has recently reprinted John Taylor's Carrier's Cosmo- graphy, published in 1637 a book giving a list of such towns having communication with London by means of carriers as he could obtain, and the names of the Inns, Ordinaries, and Hostleries where these carriers lodged. The author had some difficulty in obtaining his informa- tion, for, he says, In some places I was suspected for a Projector, or one that had devised some trick to bring the Carriers under some new taxation, and sometimes I was held to have been a Man-taker, a Sergeant, or Bailiff, to arrest or attack men's goods or beasts. Indeed I was scarce taken for an honest man amongst the most of them." The following are all I can find in the lists that come within the district covered by Bye-pones The Carriers of Bridgnorth do lodsre at the Maiden- head in Cateaton-street, near the Guildhall. # The Carriers of Chester do lodge at the CastTe in Wood- street. They are there to be had on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The Carriers of Chester do lodge at Blossoms or Bosom's Inn, in St. Laurence lane, near Cheapside every Thursday. The Carriers of Denbigh in Wales do lodge at Bosom's Inn every Thursday. Also other Carriers do come to the said Inn from other parts of that country. The Carriers of Monmouth in Wales, and some parts of Monmouthshire, do lodge at the [Saint] Paul's Head in Carter lane. They do come to London on Fridays. The Carriers of Shrewsbury do lodge at the Maiden- head in Cateaton-street, near Guildhall. They come on Thursdays. The Carriers of Shrewsbury do also lodtre at Bogom's Inn. They do come on Thursdays. And there do lodge carriers Aat do travel divers parts of the county of Shropshire and places adjoining. M.H. THE VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS OF 1804. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. P. Earwaker, F.S.A., we are in possession of a list of the names of all the officers connected with the volunteer regiments of Shrop- shire and Wales early in this century. This list, which is dated 1 Oct. 1804, was issued by the War Office, and is now rarely to be met with. We intend from time to time to give extracts until the whole is completed. Errors will doubtless be found in the spelling of some of the names, and we should be thankful to any of our readers who will point these out. We begin with the Oswestry companies :— OSWESTRY RANGERS, cavalry. Major Comm, Geo. Henry Warrington, 7 Jan. 1803. Captain, William Hamilton Martin, 24 Feb. 1804. Lieutenants, Lawton Parry, 7 Jan. 1803; Thomas Salter, 20 Oct. 1803. Cornets, Henry Powman, Thomas Holwell, 20 Oct. 1803. Chaplain, Joshua Venables, 24 Nov. 1803. Adjutant, Arthur Davenport, 8 Nov. 1798. Surgeon, Robert Cartwright, 24 Nov. 1803. OSWESTRY ARTILLERY. Captain, John Bradbridge, 28 Apr. 1804. First Lieut., Edward Croxon, 22 Aug. 1803. Second do., Wm. Henry Newenham, 22 Aug. 1803. T"O The Oswestry Rangers, as was stated in nye-gones Mar. 10, 1875, was a company raised in 1797, with Mr. Mytton of Halston (father to the celebrated Jack Mytton) as captain. Sixty persons enrolled their names, and a hundred pounds was raised to defray expenses. On Oct. 12 of the same year Mrs. Mytton presented colours to the corps on the Bailey Head, the consecration of the colours being performed by the chaplain, the Rev. Turner Edwards. At that period Mr. L. J. Venables was cornet. In Sep. 1798, Mr. Mytton died, and Mr. G. H. Warring- ton became captain, Mr. Venables, lieutenant, Mr. John Rogers, cornet, and Mr. A. N. Davenport, adjutant. In May, 1799, Mr. Owen Ormsby of Porkington, was ap- pointed Major-Commandant;" which office he resigned in Nov., 1802. An address wa3 presented to_Mr. Ormsby on his resignation (see Bye-nones, July 10, 1 signed by the following :-G. H. Warrington, Lawton Parry, Wil- liam Roberts, Edward Owen, Edward B. Marriott, John Croxon, jun., A. Davenport, adjutant Ed. Edwards, sec. The Shrewsbury newspapers early in 1803 announced the following promotions in the corps 'Japt. Warring- ton to be Major, Lieut. L. J. Venables to be Captain; and Cornet L. Parry to be Lieutenant." it would appear from the official list of Oct., 1804 (from which we copy the names given to-day) that Mr. Venables only held the office of captain a little more than twelve months, for a new name is introduced in Feb., 1804. We should be glad of information respecting several of the names in the Oswestry lists of Rangers and Artillerymen. On Mar. 14 1877, we gave the effective strength of the Rangers, from an'official list dated 1806 as 104. Mr Warrington was still the Major and the Artillery numbered 102, the captain's name being spelt "Broadbndge." Who was he ? ED. QUERIES. WELSH PATRONYMICS.—What is the ex- planation of the custom of adding the letter s to Christian names when they are adopted as surnames, as in Williams, Evans, etc.. &c. ? How early is the name Jones found in documents relating to Wales? Is the custom of adding s an Anglicism ? There appears to be no warrant for it in Welsh? NEWO. TURKISH TENT AT HA WKESTONE.-It was stated in the local papers of July, 1802, that among the many curiosities brought by Col. Hill from Egypt, was a Turkish Tent of a very singular contexture, and em- broidered in various colours. It w.-is pitched in the pleasure grounds at Hawkestone, with the following in- scription over one of the doors This tent was brought by Col. Hill from Egypt. K belonged to the famous Morad B;iy was taken at the battle of the Pyramids by the French, and taken from them when Grand Citiro surrendered to the English, June 25. 1801. It is further stated, on the authority of Sir Sidney Smith, that this tent was the- one in which the Convention of El Airish was signed." Is it in existence yet? SCROBBES BYRIG.

News Agents were not always Booksellers, and Book- sellers are not always Printers. What I should like to to know is what trade or calling the above-mentioned fol- lowed, and how many of them were practical printers. Typo. ANOTHER SERGEANT DA VIES.-Mention was once made in Bye-gones of a Shropshire man Sergeant Davies who was 'buried in Shrewsbury in 1820, having, from the time it was completed, been custodian of Lord Hill's Column at Shrewsbury. In the Cknts lIfag: for Dec. 1816, under the head of Salop there is the death of another Sergeant Davie; recorded, as having taken place at Builth. He was stated to have been in his 91st year and to have formerly belonged to the 58th reg. The'following outline of his career is given ihis gallant veteran was at the taking of Louisburgh, Gasprey, Mount Louis, Quebec, and Montreal at the siege of Havannah he was taken prisoner, and carried to His- paniola, and was liberated at the Peace of 176^, he afterwards served in Ireland, and at Gibraltar. He was supposed to be the best marksman in the army. Lord Howe gave the challenge that Sergeant Davies should charge and discharge his musket oftener in a minute than any other soldier in the battalion, which he did, and gained a considerable bet for his commander. He has been known to kill 70 brace of woodcocks in the season When he pointed his piece, it was death to man and bird." Where did this Sergeant Davies hail from ? D. REPLIES. OSWESTRY QUARTER SESSIONS (Sep. 2o, 1S7Q \_At this date JARCO says, that, under the provi- sions of Charles the Second's Charter, the Mayor of Oswestry, after he had served his year of office, during the snrccprlin0' year served the office of coroner. But I ob- serve in a paragraph on "Old Oswestrians (July 17, 1878)' the same writer records the election of Mr. Longue- ville Tones to the office of coroner, on the death of Mr. Llovd in 1797. Mr. Lloyd was mayor in 1769. How, then, would he be coroner 28 years after? TYRO. TOnr correspondent is confounding the office of_ Borough rnroner—which, previous to the passing of the Municipal Cor- porations Act in 1835, was annual—with that of District (or County) Coroner, which was permanent.-ED.] EVANS THE BELLMAN (Apr. 10, 187S).—At this date "L." gave a verse commencing Young maids arise And make your mince pies, &c." as a sample of snatches of doggrel of his own composing" Sun» af Christmas by this old Oswestry Bellman It would appear, however, that Evans did but paraphrase lines well-known in other localities. In Notes and Queries for Dec. 21, 1878, a correspondent under the heading "Christmas in England," says It was customary at Bewdley for the bellman to go round the town on Christ- mas morning, ringing his bell, singing the following doggerel Arise, mistress, arise, And make your tarts and pies, And let your maids lie still, &c." The only essential difference seems to have been that in Worcestershire the mistresses were called up, and in Shropshire the maids! JARCO. OLD FOLKS (Jan. 22, 1879).— Morgan of Traws- fvnydd —The reply of ANON, taken from the Gents: Mag: for March, 1817, is partially incorrect respecting the second person mentioned. My great-great-grand- father Edmund (not Edward) Morgan was buried at Trawsfynydd, co. Merioneth, aged 113 (not 110), although at the time of his death his age was supposed to be 111 and this was inscribed on the coffin-plate and on the tombstome. Afterwards, however, his correct age was found in the church at Llanfihangel-y-traethau, and the figures 111 chiseled off the tombstone, and 113 substituted. I leave it to others better informed than myself to say whether my ancestor's is the greatest age known in Wales. E. R. EDMUNDS. Leighton, Welshpool.

Page 13 says: Tw- pairs of boots lined with fur were also taken; and for physic—with which it is as well to be supplied when travelling in out-of-the-way places-some quinine and Cockle's nilla, the latter a most invaluable medicine, and one which I have used on the natives of Central Africa with the greatest possible success. In fact, the marvellous effects produced upon the mind and body of an Arab Sheik, who was impervious to all native medicines, when I administered to him five COCKLE'S PILLS I will never fade from my memory and a friend of mine, who passed through the same district many months after- wards, informed me that my fame as a medicine man' had not died out, but that the marvellous cure was even then a theme of conversation in the bazaar." SEE BURNABY'S RIDE TO KHIVA, page 13. A GOOD FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST, with a prudent use, has saved many a life and yet we think the idea may be improved upon, and rcduced to a more simple form. Take some good compound, such as COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS and we find that the desired end may be obtained with- out scales and weights, or little mysterious compartments or enchanted bottles, with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of persons, and found to answer their purpose so well, may be set down as the best. -Observer.
