A WELSH CLERICAL SCANDAL.—The Bishop of Bangor has directed a commission of inquiry into a certain charge preferred against the Rev. K1 chard Jones, rector of Darowen, Montgomeryshire. The com- mission is issued at the request of the reverend gentle- man himself, and is constituted of the Marquis Lon- donderry, Mr Gilberson, Archdeacon Evans, Canon Griffith, rector of Machynlleth, and the Rev. J. W. Kirkham, rector of Llanbrynmair SUSPENSION OF THE REV. A. H. MACKONOCHIE.—In June of last year the Court of Arcues mn,de an order suspending the Rev. A. H. Maebmochie from the celebration of Divine Service for three years, on account of continued Ritualistic practices at St. Albany Hol- born. A writ of prohibition was obtained from the Court of Queen's 13ench, but on the case being carried to the Court of Appeal the prohibition was annuled. On Saturday application was made to the Dean of Arches to carry out the original order. Lord Penzance expressed his regret at the delay which had been caused in carrying out the order of suspension, through the exercise, by a temporal Court, of a jurisdiction over the Court of Arches, which was not warranted by law. He ordered the publication of the suspension in the church on the 23rd inst., to take effect from that date. The English Church Union met on Wednesday, and resolved to back up the Rev. A. H. Mackonochie in resisting, by every means possible, the legal means adopted to check that gentleman's ritualistic vagaries in the National Church.

NEW CONSERVATIVE CLUB AT CHESTER. — The Constitutional-rooms, Eastgate-row, K orth. Chester, have lately been elegantly decorated and furnished, and on Monday right Mr. H. C. Raikes, M.P. for the city, formally inaugurated the Chester Conservative Club in the building, LIBERAL MEETING AT RHYL.—An important meeting of the Rhyl District Liberal Association was held at the Town Hall, Rhyl, on Thursday evening week, under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Butterton, L rd Richard Grosvenor, M.P., Mr. John Roberts, M.P., and other influential Liberals were present. The pros- pects of the Flintshire districts with regard to the forthcoming election were dwelt upon with much satis- faction, the state of the register and the unity of the Liberal party affording good ground for anticipations of the highest success. A vote of confidence in Lord Grosvenor as member for the county of Flint, and in Mr. John Roberts as member for the boroughs, was unanimously passed, and the meeting pledged itself to use all its influence and energy in again securing their return to Parliament with a triumphant majority at the next general election. Lord Grosvenor and Mr. Roberts delivered animated addresses, the latter gentleman criticising Lord Beaconsfield's Guildhall speech at some length. A resolution severely condemning the Govern- ment for its neglect of domestic legislation and its foreign pdicy was passed before the meeting broke up.

iÜrary. A WOMAN'S PATIENCE, by Mrs. E. J. Worboise (London, J. Clarke and Co., Fleet-street).—In this book Mrs. E. J. \V orboise brings clearly before us a woman's untiring patience and with such provocation for anger and aversion as the heroine of her story con- tinually experienced, we think her exemplary forbear- nce was worthy of the recompense she subsequently received, in being the possessor of her husband's love. If the object of the authoress is to show forth thi particular embellishment of female character, then her efforts hltve been attended with the highest success. We should have been better pleased had the unworthy husband met with more condign punishment. Having, at the suggestion of his father, married an innocent and gentle girl, solely that her immense wealth might be the means of averting the ruin of an impoverished aristocrat, his treatment of a loving wife is such a course of systematic •cold-hearted cruelty, that we think the authoress has dealt with him in a more gently manner than he de- served. Our sympathies go forth very strongly with Mrs. Walker, the mother of the unhappy bride, who perceives, when too late, the misery of her daughter. On the whole the story has been well arranged, and forms a most readable novel.

<$*rural Intelligence. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY.—Dr. Phillips, who some time ago, having sustained an injury on the London and South-Western Railway, obtained in an action a verdict for seven thousand pounds damages, brought the ease on the second time on Tuesday, in the Common Pleas Division, when the jury awarded sixteen thousand pounds damages. THE EUSTON SQUARE MYSTERY.—The charge of per- jury against Mr. Severin Bastendorff, at the instance of Hannah Dobbs, was further investigated on Monday at Bow-street Police-court. Mr. Poland said the defendant denied all the statements made by Dobbs in her pamphlet. Mr. Flowers sent the case for tria'. The defendant was admitted to bail in his own recognis- ance of five pounds. THE ODDFELLOWS.—The Board of directors of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows have held a serius of business meetings in Manchester during the week. It was reported that the Unity now consists of 463 districts, oinprising 4,160 lodges, with an aggregate membership of 531,559. The contributions, &c., for the past year amounted to £720,995, and the payments for sick and funeral benefits to £ 483,542—the capital account being altogether £4,476,948. THE RLGN OF TERROR IN IRELAND.—Mr. James Bryce Killen, barrister; Mr. J. W. Daly, proprietor of the Connaught Telegraph; and Mr. Michael Davitt, ex- Fenian prisoner, were arrested on Wednesday morning, on warrants, charging them, on the information of the police, with having used seditious language, cal- culated to lead to a breach of the peace, at the land meeting held recently in Gurteen, county Sligo. The prisoners were conveyed to Sligo, where, in the after- noon, they were brought before the resident magistrate at the county inspector's office. The Clerk of the Crown appeared to prosecute, and having read the in- formations, asked for a remand until Monday next, on the ground of the absence of the necessary witnesses. The iciiiand was granted, and an application to admit the prisoners to bail was refused. The Home Rule xecutive met in London on Wednesday night, and passed resolutions expressing indignation at the arrests, and assuring the prisoners of the sympathy of the Irish- men in Great Britain. COLLIERY ACCIDENTS. — A conference of delegates from mining districts throughout Lancashire and Cheshire was held on Monday at Wigan. Mr. William Pickard presided, and delegates were present represent- ing about 30,000 miners. The questions discussed were winding accidents at collieries and the necessity of patent detaching hooks being used, the recent instruc- tion from the Home Office to coroners that evidence should only be taken as to the death of one person in cases of accidents causing loss of several lives, and the present, rate of wages. The conference unanimously resolved that the Home Secretary be petitioned to make the use of detaching hooks compulsory at all collieries. Mr. Pickard maintained that these appliances had already saved many lives and prevented much destruction of property. Englishmen were, as a rule, intelligent, sober, and industrious but a slight error of judgement might cause serious disaster, and it was therefore imperative that every appliance intended to les.^„ .v of life should be put in operation. The regulation as to inquests was strongly condemned, and a memorial to the Home Secretary, praying him to with- draw it was adopted. The memorial states that it would be practically impossible for a coroner to select one representative case as directed, and that while the regulation might work where many deaths were trace- able to one easily ascertainable cause, it could not be applied satisfactorily to the case of an explosion, where some deaths might be caused by suffocation, some by falls, and some by actual burning. The system of taking evidence as to indentification frequently brought forward valuable testimony as to the management of a mine, and the memorialists were strongly of opinion that the new regulation would have a tendency to cur- tail inquiry as to explosions and lessen the public im- portance of coroner's investigations. A deputation was appointed to present the memorial to the Home Secretary, Mr. Pickard remarking that there never had been a Home Secretary who had shown a greater dis- position to comply with the wishes of the miners or more desirous of protecting their lives than had Mr. Cross.

..p (Fobe anii Commerce. NORTH WALES SLATE TRADE.—After a long period of :i!uiost complete stagnation, a slight improvement is pi-rcHj.tible in this, the staple industry of North Wales, as shown by the increased shipments at Portmadoc, the chief outlet for the Festiniog quarries Notices have, however, been posted at the Welsh Slate Quarry, one of the largest in the Principality, notifying a reduction of working days to four weekly, a change rendered necessary by the late heavy fall of debris into the work- in.:s. At the Penrhyn and Llanberis quarries the out- put is still limited to four days per week, and in con- sequence of the fall from the mountain, which has blocked some of the workings in the former quarry, 50 bargains, representing about 3,000 quarrymen, will have to be abandoned at the next monthly letting. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Express says— Agricultural labourers have been actively employed in the storage of mangles and swedes. A few beans are still out, but, with this exception, the corn crops have now been secured in England, though Scotch reports still chronicle the continuances of harvest in the up- lands, where the cereal crops are being gathered in mostly in an unripe state. Fortunately a good breadthji of land is now under wheat, the grain having been got in under favourable circumstances. As the continuance of dry weather is not to be relied upon, farmers have taken advantage of the opportunity offered to push on with field work, so that they have little leisure to devote to thrashing. Supplies have been consequently light at the country markets, and wheat in a fit state for either sowing or milling has been decidedly scarce."

jfomgn Intelligence. SPAIN. THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The Archduchess Christine and her mother left Vienna on Monday for Spain. On Wednesday, her Royal Highness will arrive at Paris, where Queen Isabella will give a State dinner in her honour, and on the following day hold a reception. On Friday, the Archduchess will leave for Spain, upon the frontiers of which she will be received by several Grandees. TURKEY. THE PROPOSED REFORMS.—The Government on Tuesday published an official declaration concerning the proposed reforms. In it it stated:—"In accordance with the sovereign under the Council of Ministers. after profund study of the great question, has arranged the necessary reforms in two categories. The first includes a project of statutes for the ministrative re- organisation of the European provinces—statutes which have to be sent into the vilayets and to be there sub- mitted to a preliminary examination by the local com- missions. This category likewise includes immediate execution of the reforms necessary for the re-organisa- tion of the administrative system in Asia and other localities of the Empire. The second category compre- hends the re-organisation of the Ministry and of all branches of the public administration, so as to ensure the speedy execution of affairs, the proper distribution of work by the various administrations according to their respective competence, and the prompt execution of all reforms of a nature to develop the resources of the country. The result of the researches and labours of the Council of Ministers in each of these great categories having been submitted to His Majesty has received his supreme sanction. The reality and efficacy of these reforms will speedily be publicly proved by certain and brilliant facts. From this moment it is made known to all that the project of an organic statute for the provinces of European Turkey has been sent into the vfdayets, and that the laws concerning the attribution of the Ministerial responsibility, after having been sub- mitted to the deliberations of the Council of Ministers and then discussed and approved by the commission of lawyers, have received the Imperial sanction and shall be immediately put into execution." ZULULAND. PROGRESS OF AFFAIRS —The Cape mail brings a rumour that Umbulazi, who contested the Zulu succes- sion with Cetywayo, is still alive, and about to return to claim his inheritance. Several of Sir Garnet Wolseley's nominated chiefs are believed to be nego- tiating for a transfer of their districts to John Dunn, who has published the conditions on which a limited number of missionaries will be allowed to have stations in his territory. The Premier of Cape Colony had held a parley with Moirosi under a flag of truce, but no satisfactory conclusion was come to, and firing recom- menced. AFGHANISTAN. General Roberts has issued another proclamation to the Afghans, as he was informed that many of them had taken up arms, under the belief that Yakoob was a prisoner in the British camp. The British Government, he says, is willing to believe that such people were deceived by evil-minded persons, and he therefore pro- claims an amnesty on the condition that all arms are surrendered to the British authorities. Those who take advantage of the amnesty, he adds, will be allowed to return to their homes without molestation. It is, how- ever, not to apply to any one concerned in the attack on the Embassy. A Teheran telegram states that according to the reports of the merchants who have arrived there the news of the massacre at Cabul was received at Herat with exultation by the population, who expressed their determination to defend their city to the utmost. Up to the present time 49 Afghans, who were con- victed of taking part in the attack on the British Embassy, have been handed. Our troops are slowly destroying an immense quantity of gunpowder which was found in the Bala Hissar. SOUTH AMERICA. THE WAR.—The latest news received via Lisbon concerning the war in South America states that the Chilian army was advancing, while the Bolivians were said to be about to retire, in consequence of disputes with the Peruvians. A grand demonstration took place at Valparaiso on the 20th inst., on the occasion of the Hauscar being towed into harbour by the Chilian vessels. The captured nag was carried through the city amidst the enthusiastic acclamations of the inhabitants. The turret and hull of the Peruvian ram are pierced in several places, but the Chilians hope to completely repair the vessel in two weeks' time.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—To-day's market was not very largely attended by millers and dealers, and, wheat gave way in value Id. per cental. Flour, too, moved but slowly into consumption at Friday's currencies. Oats, though unchanged in price, ruled extremely quiet in the absence of inquiry. Oatmeal, at a con- cession of 2d. per load, had a moderately good request. Egyptian beans, with a prospect of increased supplies, attracted less attention than of late; nevertheless, quotations remain unchanged. Canadian peas closed dull at previous figures. Malt and barley exhibited no new feature. Indian corn was not actively sought for, but, in presence of small arrivals, realised an improve- ment of 1d. to Id.

A forci- ble illustration of this is to be found iu the en0rmous increase in the consumption of cocoa ear by year in exact proportion to the incr;a,;e.i' facili ties for its manufacture. An iaea of the vast extent of this industry may be gained from the fact that OOe firm alone-that vf Messrs Epps and CO.-n"w sdl some five millions of pounds annually.

The repu ation gained, now many years siuce. for Mr. James Epps's preparation, both for iis puri'y and its valu- as a dietetic, has been more thau maintained.

EPPS'S COCOA.—Civilian says :—" In the 17th century, before either tea or coffee 21Ud found thpir way into the Enlish markets, cnocolale was a favourite beverage with the luxurhus chisses at that period; it then Iptched an almost fabulous price per pound. To-day, when modern cipnce and enterprise have placed it within the reach of every cla,5, cocoa is n't only still regarded as a palatable and refreshing drink, but is valued for its nutritive and dietetic qualities. One < f the first, we believe, wno may be cre\1ited with introduCÎlI1{ cocoa in its present form is Mr. James Epps. Prepared 011 sound diptetic principles, Epps's Homcepataic Cocoa contains ull the nutritive properties of the native product in such a form that they are rendered thoroughly soluble, aud, therefore illuch mor easy of digestion. The natural superabundance of fat present in raw COC01i is, more. over, not only counteracted but made to serve one ot the most essential functions of sound dit. Messrs. Epps's works are now, perhaps, the larest in the country, the cocoa produced there amounting to many million pounds a year." EPPS'S COCOA.-2JIim'ng World says :—" The preparation of pure and nutritious articles of diet i8, in point of philanthropy, noble work. The wear and tear upon brain and muscle in this age is growing more and more intense, so that without some com- pensating influence the eud must be hopeless col- lapse in individuals and national decay collectively. Fresh air and more wholesome and nutritious diet must be had at any price. Both food and drink need great improvement. A few chemists have don" great public service in this repect. Mr. James Epps, in the preparation of cocoa iu its various forms, has done more, perhaps, than auy other person to supply the tables of even the poorest with a most agrpeahle and wholesome article of diet. The application of modern science at bis extensive works has brought cncoa, once the dear-bought luxury of the higher classes, within the reach of all; aud there may now be found on the labourer's table. cocoa in belter and more nutritious form than the Royal breakfast tables of early kiag8 could bnast. Cocoa, 3.S prepared lJy Mr. Epps. is palatable, refreshing, strengthening, and inestim- ably preferable to the trashy tca and cof* e in general use." PPRANSVAAL.

We strongly reccommend it as a diet for children." WATCH MANUFACTURE.—It appears to be quite an erroneous idea to entertain that a first-class and thoroughly trustworthy watch can only be acquired by those to whom price is of little consideration. In another column Mr. Sewill, the extensive manufacturer of Liverpool and London, publishes some extracts from his price lists, from which it will be seen that he is pre- pared to supply a watch similar to those which gained for him the prize medal at the International Exhibitions of London, 1862 Paris, 1867 and Philadelphia, 1876; at a price that compares favourably with the cheapest class of instruments in the market.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. — Autumnal Remedies. — Towards the fall of the year countless causes are at work to lower the tone of the nervous system, which will be followed by ill-health unless proper means be employed to avert that evil. Hollo- way's far-famed preparations supply a faultless remedy for both external and internal complaints connected with changes of season. All affections of the skin, roughness, blotches, pimples, superficial and deeper- seated inflammations, erysipelas, rheumatic pains, and gouty pangs alike succumb to the exalted virtues of Holloway's Ointment and Pills which will effect a happy revolution in the patient's condition, though the symptoms of his disorder are legion, and have ob- stainately withstood the best efforts of science to subdue them. AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS.—The disease commences with a slight derange- ment of the stomach, but if neglected, it in time involves the whole frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and, in fact, the entire glandular system, and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence, until death gives relief from suffering. The disease is often mistaken for other complaints but, if the reader will ask himself the following questions, he will be able to determine whether he himself is one of the afflicted, Have I distress, pain, or difficulty in breathing after eating ? Is there a dull heavy feeling, attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge? Does a thick sticky mucous gather about the gums and teeth in the morn- ings, accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the tongue coated ? Is there pain in the sides and back ? Is there a fulness about the right side as if the liver were enlarging ? Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from a horizontal position ? Are the secretions from the kidneys scanty and highly coloured with a deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating, accompanied by flat- ulence or a belching of gas from the stomach ? Is there frequent palpitation of the heart ? These various symptoms may not be present at one time, but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses. If the case be one of long standing, there will be a dry hacking cough, attended after a time by expectoration. In very advanced stages the skin assumes a. dirty brownish appearance, and the hands and feet are covered by a cold, sticky perspiration. As the liver and kidneys become more and more diseased, rheumatic pains appear, and the usual treatment proves entirely unavail- ing against this latter agonising disorder. It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages, when a little medicine will effect a cure, and even when it has obtained a strong hold, the true remedy should be persevered in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated, until the appetite has returned, and the digestive organs are restored to a healthy condition. This disease is called liver complaint, and the surest and most effectual remedy for this distressing complaint I is Seigel's Curative Syrup," a vegetable preparation made in America, and sold by A. T. White, 21, Farringdon-road, London, E.C. The syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch out of the system. 1461
