THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. SPECIAL SERMONS will be preached at Swansea on the Sunday preceding the Church Congress. The preachers during the Sunday and the week will be the Bishop of St. David's, Bishop of Rochester, Dean of Bangor, Bishop Perry, Rev. L. S. Edershein, and Rev. W. H. Hay Aitken, the mission prcacher. LORD SELBORNK was present on Monday at a meet- ing which followed the laying of the foundation-stone of the new Church of Allhallow's, Bromley. While he hoped that the church might be the means of increasing true religion to many, he told them they must not let forms and ceremonies take the place of the essential spirit of the true Church of God. BANGOR CATHEDRAL.—The work of restoring the nave and chapter-room is being actively proceeded with, and the building in its entirety is expected to be opened early in the year. A curious recumbent figure, believed to mark the grave of an ancestor of the Penrhyn family, has been discovered under the chapter-room, and some old tiles were found there. Lord Penrhyn and Mr. Assheton Smith have headed the subscription list with £2,000 each, and a movement has been initiated among the F reemasons of the province of North Wales and Shropshire to present the Bishop's throne.

Phillips, M.P. for Bury, presided, and was the chief speaker. He condemned generally the foreign policy of the Government, and urged the electors to make a strenuous effort at the coming election to place at the head of affairs Lord Hartington, a man who would be guided by the opinions of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. I Among the other resolutions adopted was one to tha effect that the system upon which the House of Commons is elected requires amendment, so as to secure a vote to every householder throughout the country, and a re- arrangement of seats. THE REPRESENTATION OF WEST CHESHIRE.—A con- ference of the leading Liberals in Chester and the western division of the county will be held next week at the Queen's Hotel, Chester, with the view of ascer- taining whether the electors arc not now prepared to return Liberals instead of Conservative members to Parliament for West Cheshire. The present members I are Sir Philip de Malpas Grey-Egerton and the Hon. W. F. Tollemache. There has been no contest in this division of the county since it was created a separate Parliamentary division in 1841, from which time Sir Philip Egerton has represented that division of the county in Parliament. Several candidates for the representation are mentioned, amongst them being Mr. Thomas H. Jackson, of Birkenhead; Mr. Smith, of New Brighton and Mr. G. W. Latham, of Bradwall Hall, Sandbach, the rejected of Mid-Cheshire.

IRON AND COAL. I I BARROW-IN-FCRNESS, Monday.—The upward move- ment which has been witnessed during the past few weeks in the hematite iron trade of this district continues, and this morning there is a firmer and better tone. Makers during the past few days have entered into several contracts for the delivery of iron at all im- provement on last week's prices of fully 2s. Gd. per ton. There is still a fair inquiry, and buyers are beginning to press orders which they want completing before the close of the shipping season. On all hands there are indications of increased activity. The demand for both bessemer and forge samples is greater than makers can at the moment supply, and steelmakers are working the w1wlü of their p1ant in the output of rails, which are consigned to foreign consumers. Iron ore and coal are in better request. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—A further heavy rise in the prices of pig iron was reported to-cay. The market opened with No. 3 at 42s. 6d., but speedily 45s. was asked and received for forward delivery, while 43s. was accepted for early delivery, one maker selling 5000 tons at this rate. The rise, however, is not considered a healthy one, as neither the inland nor continental demand has shown any signs of recovery. All the excitement is due to the American demand, which can- not but be ephemeral if a stop is not soon put to the advance here. Finished iron is advanced 10s. per ton this week, not on account of improved demand, but owing to increased cost of pig iron. There is, however, much more inquiry 15s. has been paid for common bars and angles, and £4 for puddled bars. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday. — There was'much excitement towards the close of 'Change this afternoon in the pig iron department. A rise of from 10s. to 12s. Gd. upon the recent minimum was demanded for best hematite and clay band iron. Barrow and Tredegar pig were each quoted £3 7s. Gd., and could have been sold largely at £3, but buyers' offers were promptly declined. Some makers of common finished iron demanded an advance of from 5s. to 10s., but medium and best iron was plentiful at former prices. Coal was very strong.

AGRICULTURE. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. Having given in this column last week a summary of those subjects that are included in the examinations in agriculture, it has occurred to me that it would be well to add an abridged list of the questions which have to be answered at the next annual examinations in May, 1880. These examinations will be held on the same day throughout the country, wherever any science classes are at work and the papers will be duly adjudicated upon by Professor Henry Tanner, the examiner on behalf of the Science Department. An attentive reading of these questions will suggest to those young agriculturists in these counties, who may not be within convenient reach of class instruction, what subjects they may study for themselves in the principles of agriculture in order to be able to answer such queries. There is ample time between now and next May for studying the needful books, and prepar- ing for the examinations.

CONDENSED LIST OF THE QUESTIONS. Elementary Stage. — Describe difference between a sandy soil, a loam, and a clay soil. What are the principal substances found in the soil, and which of these do plants require ? Why do we grow crops in rotation ? What is the composition of milk, and why is it such good food ? Give a good course of cropping f, a rich loam soil, and a bad course of crops for a sandy soil, and state your reasons in each case. Of what does the inorganic matter of plants consist ? How does the plant get it, and why is it called the ashes of the plant ? What are marls ? How does a soil lose its phosphates? As soil consists largely of hard solid matter, how is it that plants are able to feed upon it? Why are soils improved by exposure to rough and cold weather in winter ? How is it that cattle, sheep, and horses are warm, and by what means is this warmth kept up? Why do some animals fatten better than others when using equal supplies of food ? Advanced Stage.—In what respect does the food of an animal differ from the food required by a vegetable ? What is meant by saying that land is sick of a crop?" Give an example, and describe how it may be remedied. What are the special advantages 'arising from autumn cultivation ? Can a soil contain all the food necessary for producing good crops, and still be unable to give it to plants as food ? If so, why is this, and how may it be overcome? Describe how lime and farm-yard manure may be used for a crop with the best results. Seeing that a, cubic foot of sand weighs about 110 pounds and a cubic of clay weighs about 80 pounds, why do we call sands light soils, and why do we call clays heavy soils ? State what are the causes of the difference. How do you account for the variations observed in the ashes of plants ? How does drainage of the land increase the quantity of plant-food ready for use in a soil ? What are the "reduced phosphates," and what are their actions in the soil ? How are lands fertilised by irrigation, and how should the supply of water be regulated ? What changes does the blood undergo in its passage through the body of animals? Describe the changes which food undergoes in its digestion by a bullock and a horse, pointing out any differences. Honours Examination.—In what way does climate influence the system of farming, and also the quality of the meat and corn produced ? Give instances. Trace the various changes which take place in a plant's growth during the time its supplies are drawn from the soil and the air. How does the condition and use of fertilisers and the character of the seed render some root crops less able to withstand frost ? How do soils retain manure ? Describe the formation of nitre in soils, and describe fully the process of germination. How does the blood of an animal receive fresh supplies of nutriment ? How does the breathing of foul air (arising from deficient ventilation) affect the milk produced, and the cheese and butter made from it ? How may the milking char- acter of a cow be improved; how may the flow of milk be made more permanent; and its character rendered more suitable for buttcr and cheese making respectively? What lessons may be learned from the syst-nuof farm- ing known a* "The continuous growth of cvru," and what are the e3s2ntils for its success ? Such are the questions each of whieh auunt of :-n answer being given which entitle the candidate to an equal number of marks. As it is probable that there may be readers of this column who wish to acquaint thomselves with the principles of agriculture, but who are uncertain as to what books to study, it may be servicable if I suggest a few suitable text books on agricultural science, so that intending students may utilise theiii time during the approaching winter in preparing for the next May examinations. There is now a considerable number of works published relating to the science and practice of agriculture and to farming operations, so that seme direc- tion is necessary to decide which are most suitable for the wants of different students, according as they intend to prepare for the elementary or the advanced course and as to what particular branches of agriculture they are inclined to take up. The following books will be suitable to study for the elementary course in agriculture :—" First Principles of Agriculture," Is., by Professor Tanner (Maemillan and Co., Bedford-street, London); "The Principles of Agri- culture," 2s., illustrated, by Professor Wrightson (W. Collins. Sons and Co., New Bridge-street, London) Catechism of Agricultural Chemistry and Geology," Is., by Professor Johnstone, sixth edition (Blackwood and Sons, 37, Paternoster-row, London); Agricultural Chemistry," Is. 6d., by Professor Sibson (Geo. Routledge and Sons, Ludgate-hill, London). There are also several small elementary works by R. Scott-Burn on soils, manures, crops, live stock, and farming economy, pub- lished by Crosby, Lockwood and Co., Stationers' Hall Court London. An Agricultural Hand-Book for Schools is in preparation, and will be published shortly by Bradbury, Agnew and Co., Lombard-street, London. The following books will be suitable for the advanced course and for teachers' class-books :—" Elements of Agricultural Chemistry and Geology," fis. 6d., 11th edition, by Professors Johnstone and Cameron (W. Blackwood and Sons, 37, Paternoster-row, London); "Farm Crops," two vols., 13s., by Professor Wilson (H. Ailnutt, 6, Fetter-lane, London); "Outlines of Modern Farming." live vols. bound together, by R. Scott-Burn (Crosby, Lockwood and Co., Stationers' Hall Court, London) Manual of Agriculture," by R. Henderson (W. Blackwood and Sons, 37, Paternoster- row, London). Those students who qualify themselves by private study for the examinations, and who do not reside near any science classes, may make arrangements for attend- ing to be examined at any central place most convenient by giving previous notice. Agricultural education is a matter that is bound to come to the front more prominently than hitherto, to receive the attention that it deserves, seeing that it is included, and properly so, in the programme of sub- jects for investigation by the Royal Agricultural Com- mission. 27th September, 1870. FFEmI. IT was stated on Tuesday that on Sir Robert Peel's estate in the Midlands there are 7,000 acres unlet. A LARGE number of sheep which were landed at Liverpool from America this week were affected with disease, and there is great anxiety in the town to know whether on this account the Government will prohibit the^import of live sheep. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—Mr. John Roberts, of Saltney, writes as follows :—" A very fine week up to September 21st for harvest. I never did more harvest work in one week. I tried a load of sheaves of wheat through the machine on Saturday that were cut three weeks. The corn was not fit for grinding. It will now have to be stacked and do the best we can for keeping it, and trust to future weather, frost, &c., for thrashing. The time of year is gone for drying wheat outside. I am still of opinion that wheat sown just before the frost, and was out of light for 14 weeks, will be in most cases the best samples, and will be a fair crop. A large quantity of wheat will be unfit for grinding for bread, being altogether blighted. Beans are still doing well." THE CORN TRADE.—The 2 £ arJc Lane T^xvresa says- Cool autumnal weather has prevailed during the past week, but the carting and stacking of wheat and barley have been somewhat delayed by intermittent showers. Most of the wheat has now been cut in the southern and midland counties, but a good breadth of spring corn has yet to be reaped. The yield is admittedly an exceed- ingly bad one both of wheat and barley. Various estimates of the deficit have been put forward, but it is pretty generally allowed that the wheat crop of this year will fall short of an average by something like 30 per cent. This means that home requirements between now and next harvest may be expected to absorb sixteen 'or seventeen million quarters of foreign produce. Samples of home-grown wheat at the country markets have again been exceedingly light, and the price was also 4d. per quarter less than that of the preceeding week. At Mark-lane samples have likewise been few and inferior, but sales have been made without difficulty at an advance of 2s. per quarter on the week. All descriptions of foreign wheat have improved fully 2s. per quarter on the week, business being exceptionally heavy."

THE COAL TRADE.—Circulars received on Monday morning by coal merchants from several large colliery owners in South Yorkshire state, that from the 1st of October there will be an advance in the price of coal to the extent of (jel. per ton. Some proprietors complain that they have been losing at the rate of per month. The price of coal at the mouth of the pit is at present Gs. per ton. Owing to the depressed state of coal trade and reduction of miners' wages attention has been di- rected to the charges made by railway companies for the conveyance of minerals, with a view to obtaining a revision. The executive of the South Yorkshire Miners' Asoociation have taken the matter in haml, and one of the secretaries has for some time past been engaged in obtaining information on the subject, and a petition is being prepared for presentation in the next Session of Parliament praying for the appointment of a Royal Com- wission to inquire into the cktrges mde by railway companies for the conveyance of minerals and as to the carrying out of the Acts of Parliament with respect to the carriage rates for coal, &c., and whether they have been complied with or not. The promoters of the movement consider that they will be able to make out a strong case for a reduction, which would be advantageous to both masters and workmen.

GERMANY. PmXCE GORTSCHAKOFF now intends to visit Berlin, but the (late has not been fixed. This step is stated to have been resolved upon by the Prince himself, and not in consequence of any invitation from Germany. PRINCE BISMARCK received on Wednesday the Russian Ambassadors at Berlin and Paris, and gave them the assurance that no design calculated to injure Russia had been discussed during the Prince's recent visit to Vienna.

TURKEY. TREATY WITH RUSSIA.—Rumours prevail in Constan- tinople that a new project of alliance between Russia and Turkey has been drafted, the principal features of which are that Russia will forego a large portion of the war indemnity, and will restore to Turkey some of her former Asiatic Provinces. THE REFORMS.—At a Cabinet Council held on Mon- day to discuss the budget, the Sultan told his ministers that he had promised the friendly powers to supervise personally the fiscal reforms to be introduced into Turkey, and he recommended that, instead of raising new foreign loans to meet the financial engagements of the empire, recourse should be had to other measures of an internal character. In a speech delivered by the Sultan in his palace on Sunday to his Ministers, he exhorted them not to have recourse to further loans. The Sultan was much agitated when he reminded his hearers that these loans had been the ruin of the country, and he appealed to their patriotism to restore the equilibrium of the Budget.

AMERICA. THE INDIANS.—Seven of a Texan party of hunters have been killed by Indians after a fight which is said to have extended over two days. Five American troops have also been killed by New Mexican Indians, who compelled the remainder to retreat. THE WAR BETWEEN CHrLI AND PERU.—The news of the bombardment of Antofagasta is contirmed, while from Tupiza, in Bolivia, we hear that the van- guard of the army has forced the Chilian troops to evacuate Calama, and has defeated the corps under Colonel Ruiz. The allied forces of Peru and Bolivia are now marching upon San Pedro de Atacama.

The North Wales Public Supply Stores' Teas are the purest, the best, and the cheapest. 14, High-street Wrexham. 77 Printing of every description can be executed at the shortest notice and upon the most reasonable terms at the Guardian Office, Wrexham. Teas, Coffees, and general Groceries are supplied at merchants' prices by the North Wales Public Supply Stores, 14, High-street, Wrexham. 77 ADVICE TO MOTHERS.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and pleasant to taste it produces natural, quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as bright as a button." It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu- lates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is sold by medicine dealers everywhere at Is. I1d. per bottle. Manufactured in New York, and at 498, Oxford-street, London. 75 HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—With the darkening days and changing temperatures the digestion becomes impaired, the liver disordered, and the mind despondent unless the cause of the irregularity be expelled from the blood and body by an alterative like these pills. They go directly to the source of the evil, thrust out all impuri- ties from the circulation, reduce distempered organs to their natural state, and correct all defective and com- taminated secretions. Such easy means of instituting health, strength, and cheerfulness should be in the possession of all whose stomachs are weak, whose minds are much harassed, or whose brains are overworked. Holloway's is essentially a blood-tempering medicine, whereby its influence, reaching the remotest fibres of the frame, effects a universal good.
