During the explorations at Peterborough Cathe- dral on Friday, the workmen discovered what is supposed to be the remains of an old Saxon Monas- tery. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred at Oxford on Saturday morning upon the Right Rev. Arthur Poole, Bishop Designate of Japan. The smack Fisher, of Ramsgate, on Sunday landed at that port the captain and eight hands, the crew of the German brig Die Peene, which foundered during Thursday's gale, about 20 miles east of Texel. George Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, died at the residence of Mr A. Montgomery Stewart, J.P., Killendonagh, near Lifford, county Donegal, on Friday evening, after a prolonged illness. Sunday being the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, the usual festivities were observed on board Nelson's old flagship Victory, at Portsmouth. A youth named Sheriff was sentenced to one month's imprisonment by the Exeter Bench on Saturday for throwing vitriol in the face of a Sal- vation Army drummer during a procession. The woman Hutton, murdered at Liverpool, was buried on Sunday morning at the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Ford, near Liverpool. An immense con- course of people followed the cortege, and there were crowds along the line of route. Captain Shaw has received a present from the Queen—a handsome marble clock, with the follow- ing inscription Presented to Captain Shaw, superintendent of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, by Victoria R., 1883." Mr J. B. Stone, an Aston magistrate, has re- ceived by parcels post a threatening letter, accom- panied by a clasp knife and a piece of rope. The police are investigating the matter. Mr Luke Sharp, of the firm of L. J. and E. M. Sharp, accountants, has been appointed by the President of the Board of Trade official recorder for Birmingham and district under the Bankruptcy Act of last session. The Mayor of Birmingham, on Saturday after- noon, unveiled the bust of John Rogers, who was editor of the Matthew Bible, and coadjutor of Tyndale in translating the Scriptures into English. Rogers was burnt at the stake at Birmingham in 15M. Sir Stafford and Lady Northcote, the latter of whom arrived at Penrhyn Castle from Chester on Saturday, attended service at Bangor Cathedral on Sunday evening. Mr Gladstone has replied to the Paignton Liberal Association, which had passed a resolution in favour of an immediate extension of the county franchise, to the effect that the subject is receiving the serious attention of the Premier, and the memo- rial from Paignton, and others to the same purport, will receive full consideration. The Alive. Woermann, German steamer, has been totally wrecked at Terschelling. The Aline Woer- mann- left Hamburg on the 16th Oct. for Africa. She was a steamer of 918 tons, built at Hamburg in 1882, and owned by C. Woermann, of Hamburg. The Dundee sheriff on Monday prohibited a dairyman, whose children were suffering from typhoid, from selling milk for seven weeks. Monday evening's bulletin says the Bishop of Peterborough is more free from pain, and his temperature is slightly lower, but he is still seriously, ill. Mr John Newton Mappin died somewhat sud- denly, on Monday, at his residence, Birchlande, near Sheffield. The deceased gentleman attended Church on Sunday morning, and was afterwards seized with apoplexy, from which he never re- covered. Deceased was donor of St. John's Church, Ranmoor, which lie erected at a cost of £]5,000. At a sheriff and jury court at Jedburgh on Mon- day afternoon, three young men, named Bole, Murray, and Wilkinson, all belonging to Hardwick, were each sentenced to three months' imprison- ment for perjury.. Amongst the witnesses for the prosecution were Wilkinson's brother and sister. A meeting was held at Sheffield, on Monday, in connection with the proposed new buildings for Ruskin Museum, when the committee reported that a new arrangement had been made with Mr Ruskin's solicitors, and the negotiations with them were now progressing. Mr Ruskin is now in com- munication with the mayor in relation to the matter. The activity in the salt trade for some time past is producing its inevitable consequences throughout the district. Houses and public buildings have been sinking, water pipes bursting, and gas mains constantly snapping. Christ Church, Winsford, was recently badly cracked, and then began to sink. Immediate steps had to be taken to save it from utter destruction. Gangs of men with huge jacks were engaged, and this week they have lifted the west end quite a foot. The east end has still a tendency to bow down, and that will be got into the perpendicular at once. The displacement taking place underground may be imagined when it is stated that last month sufficient brine was pumped to manufacture 108,000 tons of salt. Following upon this unusual demand, the brine supply has been more than overtaken, and manufacturers have had to stop pans and dismiss hands. In celebration of the liberation of Miss Booth and her companions from the Swiss Prison, thanksgiving services were held on Monday in Exeter Hall by the Salvation Army. The hall on each occasion was crowded. Miss Booth related her experiences in Switzerland, and stated that she was forbidden to meet anywhere, but friends of the army in Switzerland did not hesitate to declare the illegality of this extraordinary device as loudly as the English press had done. The outcome of the imprisonment of her comrades and herself was a determination to go on with the work. "Captain" Becquet, 'who was imprisoned with Miss Booth, also addressed the meetings. Sir Samuel Marling, late of Stanley Park, Stroud, died on Monday afternoon. He had been transacting business in his counting-house at Ebley Mills, when he fell down in a fit, and expired in three-quarters of an hour. Deceased, who exerted considerable political influelice in the neighbour- hood, was 73 years of age. William Gordon, farmer, was charged at Newry on Monday with having stabbed a man named Curran. The parties quarrelled, and Curran was knocked down and beaten over the head with a brass candlestick, and stabbed over the left eye. His depositions have been taken. Gordon was remanded. 1 Mr David Davies, M.P. for the Cardigan boroughs, has promised to subscribe £500 annually tor the next six years in support of the University I College of Wales at Aberystwith.

Dean Burgon tells some fine stories of Oxford I life in his article on Provost Hawkins in the current Quarterly. For example, the Davison who wrote Davison on the Prophecy once came to Hawkins and cried, "I am a ruined man they have made me serve as Junior Treasurer. I know nothing of accounts, and am certain to make mistakes." Hawkins told him to put everything down and there would be no mistake. A year elapses. Davison again rushed to Hawkins. I told you so. I am a ruined man. My accounts are wrong by hundreds." "Let me see them," said Hawkins. He toted up the figures. "Added perfectly cor- rectly," he drily remarked, as Davison turned pale, "but you had no occasion to add in the date of the year." Whateley once talked at length to a rustic parson at dinner'. The parson thanked him for the pains lie had taken to instruct him. Not at all," said Whateley, "it's a very pleasant thing to have an anvil to beat out one's thoughts upon." Dean Biirgon has also some memories of the time when Oriel was in great contempt, "Why, those fellows drink tea Newman succeeded Whateley in his rooms at Oriel; and he found one of Whateley's herrings tied to a string at the window. Whateley used to have a herring every day for breakfast. As the days grow shorter the attendance at the Fisheries Exhibition grows larger. On Saturday it reached for an ordinary day a maximum of close upon 34,000 persons, and made a total of 94,664 for the week. Since the opening day the exhibition z, has been visited by 2,079,714 persons. The famous sixpenny fish dinner is as popular as ever, and the rush to the wicket, if anything, increases with the cold weather. As the leaves fall the Cockney's appetite rises; indeed a large number of people who are sufficiently endowed with the world's goods to know better, pay a shilling in order to lunch for sixpence. To obtain meat, lodging, and amusement for twelve hours for the sum of eighteenpence is a consideration for people who are not so well en- dowed, and therefore there has been daily a good deal of growling amongst those who have been crowded out from their mid-day meal by the fashionable lunchers. The marriage of the Lady Lucy Vaughan, youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Lisburne and Mr Martin A. Silber, took place at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, on Wed- nesday. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Edmund Buckley as best man, and the bride by Lady Constance Vauglian (her sister), Miss Eugenie Silber (sister of the bridegroom), and five other bridesmaids. The bride wore a dress of white Ottoman silk and white satin petticoat, trimmed I. with lace and orange blossoms, and her tulle veil was fastened with diamonds. The bridesmaids were dressed alike in biscuit nun's veiling trimmed with crimson velvet, with hats to match, and each wore a gold horseshoe brooch set with pearls, with the initials of the bride and bridegroom in pearls and corals, the gift of the latter, who also gave them each a bouquet of roses. After the marriage ceremony, the Earl and Countess of Lisburne received the wedding party, upwards of seventy relations and friends, at Claridge's Hotel, for breakfast. About three o'clock the newly-married pair left for Folkestone, en route for Paris and the South of France. ——— The difficulty of obtaining a cab on the nights of big performances at theatres is well known to everyone. Even when ordered beforehand Cabby camiot always be depended on, especially if lie sees his way to an extra shilling from someone else. So disgusted is Mrs. Langtry with the treachery of cabmen that she has gone to a very large expense in obtaining a cab of her own. She has ordered a "Genuine Royal Hansom," furnished with all the latest improvements. It is to be shipped to the United States, where Mrs. Langtry intends using it throughout her professional tour. She will bring it back to this country, and the vehicle, with horse and driver, will travel with her to the different towns at which she may be playing. The author of Boycotting has been hoist with his own petard." The Land Reform Union having arranged a meeting for the 30th of October, invited Mr Michael Davitt to deliver a lecture on the occasion, Mr Davitt, nothing loth, acceded to the request made to him, and the promoters of the meeting forthwith drew up an elaborate bill, which they sent in some thousands to Mr Willing, the lessee of advertising hoardings in the Metropolis. They never doubted that the order to post the placards would be complied with, but it would seem that Mr Willing keeps an editor, and that the propaganda of the Land Reform Union is not favourably entertained by that gentleman. The bills were returned with an intimation that they could not be posted by that firm. The promoters of the meeting are getting disgusted, and talk of a civil action for damages against Mr Willing. It will, therefore, be interesting to watch the grounds on which an action for damages can be brought in a case like this. Should the meeting be a failure, 9 and result in pecuniary loss to those who originated it, and it can be shown that this was due to the fact that the affair was not sufficiently advertised, the promoters might have a claim against the advertising contractor. But this is by no means certain as "bill stickers do not, I believe, come within the provisions of the Public Companies Acts, or of those which regulate public carriers or breaches of contract. Although the lately published prophecy about impending Ministerial changes was little better than pure guesswork, it is the fact, I believe, that the Government will undergo considerable meta- morphosis in its personnel before next session. The retirement of Lord Selborne and his replacement by Lord Coleridge may be regarded as an accomplished fact. But Mr Courtney will certainly have to wait for Cabinet rank until that honour has fallen to Lord Rosebery. ——- "A safe and certain cure for wrinkles." This was the novelty displayed at a sale of work last week at a school in aid of the Children's Hospital, Sheffield. A selection of testimonials" were exhibited in support of the remedy. The purchaser was forbidden to open his packet till he got home, when he found he had become the happy possessor of a pair of garters, these being a cure for wrinkles (in stockings !). The burlesque testi- monials are really very funny, and profess to be given by Prince Leopold, Mr Gladstone, Mr Mundella, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, a well- known local editor, an equally well-known local alderman, the borough analyst, the Vicar of St. Matthew's, Dr. Sorby, the Rev. W. H. Dalliuger, and others.

DYNAMITE PLOT IN CANADA.
DYNAMITE PLOT IN CANADA. The greatest excitement prevails throughout Quebec and the adjoining provinces owing to the startling announcement that the Canadian detec- tives have an unmistakeable clue to a dynamite plot to murder Lord Lansdowne upon his arrival. Immediately the fact was on Monday communi- cated to the Marquis of Lome, the Premier (Sir John Macdonald), and to the Hon. D. L. Macpherson, the newly -appointed Minister of the Interior, urgent summonses were sent out for a Cabinet Council, which met on Monday. An anxious discussion was held as to how to prevent the design which was known to be formed. All proceedings are, of course, veiled in the greatest secrecy, but there are indications that Ministers have far more than a merely vague hint of the danger. Though no names have transpired as yet in connection with the outrage, it is expected that numerous arrests will very soon be made..
DISTURBANCE IN ST. PAUL'S…
DISTURBANCE IN ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. During the evening service in St. Paul's on Sun- day, and while the sermon was being preached by the Rev. W. C. Ingram, vicar of St. Matthew's, Leicester, a man in the congregation caused con- siderable disturbance by shouting and gesticulating wildly. He was at once seized by the police on duty, and conveyed to the police-station, eight constables being required for this duty owing to the violent resistance he offered. The preacher mean- while continued his sermon, thus averting any further excitement. The offender, when charged at the police-station, gave his name as Herbert P. E. Freund, but refused to give his address.
FRAUDS BY A BOROUGH ACCOUNTANT.
FRAUDS BY A BOROUGH ACCOUNTANT. On Saturday afternoon there was a special meeting of the town council of Wolverhampton, to determine upon the course to be taken with John Bryan, borough accountant, and assistant borough treasurer. An examination of Bryan's accounts back to 1879 had shown a deficiency of £1,300, and Bryan admitted the accuracy of the statement. An examination of his accounts prior to 1879 is being conducted, and some further deficiences have, it is alleged, been already traced. On Friday afternoon the general purposes committee of the corporation had resolved to discharge Bryan, who is 40 years of age, and has a salary of £ 350 per annum and they also determined, subject to the decision of the council, to prosecute him. On Saturday forenoon all the preliminaries to a prosecution, even to* the arranging with the stipendiary magistrate to attend the same night and remand Bryan were taken. When, however, the council met, it transpired that £ 1000 -sureties would be forthcoming, and that the costs of the prosecution would probably be more than the difference besween the sureties and the proved defalcations. The mayor, with the chairman of the finance committee, and other aldermen and coun- cillors, recommended that there should be no prosecution, leaving the punishment to be confined to dismissal. A minority charged the majority, who held this view, with compounding a felony, but a motion in favour of no prosecution was carried by 27 to 0, and three neutrals.
THU DUKE OF ARGYLL ON THE…
THU DUKE OF ARGYLL ON THE DELUGE. The Duke of Argyll delivered a lecture recently at Glasgow on "Geology and the Deluge." He said the common practice was to suppose that there had been a deluge, and then to ask for proofs. He would not theorise, but deal with geological facts. Till about twenty years ago he had been rather in doubt whether a deluge had really occurred. The fact that old sea levels could be clearly traced in the British Isles afforded no proof of a deluge. By the deluge was meant a sudden and transitory submer- gence of land, not such a permanent submergence as would lead to the sea forming a bed. He thought, however, that the huge boulders found on high Scotch mountains, the rocks and strata of which were entirely different, could only have been brought by immense glaciers, such as at present existed in the Arctic regions. In his opinion, the period which these boulders indicated was coinci- dent and connected with the deluge period. Again, the heaps of gravel found upon Snowdon, which was not a volcanic mountain, indicated that transi- tory and tumultuous waters had covered those heights. The first action of water was the washing away of fine earth, and the depositing of gravel. Similar masses of gravel were found at Macclesfield, and, indeed, all over the country. They were found at such a height above sea-level that the water at that height would have covered almost the whole of Europe. The duke expressed an opinion that there was a great submergence of land to the depth of at least 2,000 feet in Scotland, and that this catas- trophe was coincident with what was known as the deluge.

ITELEGRAPH FRAUDS AT MANCHESTER.
I TELEGRAPH FRAUDS AT MANCHESTER. At Manchester, on Thursday, two men, named Hulme and Brittain, and two telegraph clerks, named Lamb and Garside, were charged on remand with offences under the Telegraph Act. The two first-named prisoners were members of a betting club, and engaged on the staff of a Manchester newspaper, which had a private wire to the tele- graph office. They entered into a conspiracy with the telegraph clerks, and were supplied with the names of winning racehorses while the public messages were delayed. Hulme and Brittain then backed the winning horses at the betting club, and the proceeds were divided. This practice has been carried on since July, and the conspirators had backed two or three winners every day. At last suspicion was aroused, the private wire tapped a message intercepted from" Toby" to "Judy," and the whole conspiracy discovered. Hulme and the two telegraph clerks pleaded guilty, and they were all committed for trial.

It is said that Dr. Benson will attempt a measure of legislation next year. As Primate he will intro- duce into the House of Lords a bill suspending those suspensions from operation and depriving those deprivations of force which Lord Penzonce has sent out againit the Ritualists. Thus ends, then, the struggle of a few clergy against the law. Law is beaten. The clergy have conquered.
