IBERAL "APPEAL TO PASSIONS." I ,Speaking at Dartford on Wednesday night, Sir jilbert Parker, M.P., said that the ravage joy Sewn by the Liberal party in their hour of Jceess boded little good for wise )())I. 3eip.brrs of the new M'nistry were shewing the croa maii(?e of revolutionaries. In- one breath ileyprea,2,hed of the triumph of high principles, "d in the other coarsely traduced the-r beaten Je.

TLoy would to repent bitterly the cry of "Chinese 'slavery," which was an insult to our fellow- olø.n;ists of the Transv-aai and a low appeal to 11 passions of the uninstruoted laboqiring-clucses f Engand. If to-morrow the mines. of the 'as-svaal besought white labour for hand-drilling i the mines, so long as the unskilled worker in ,ngland could go to a country like Canada, 'here livng was cheaper, the climafe better, and passage thereto less, did anyone suppose the ^rit.'sh labourer would choose the mines of khannosburg by preference? It was- not. tha.t 4e British unskilled labourer wanted to work lith a hammer and drill on the Rand.

CHESHIRE CLOCKMAKERS. I [From "The Cheshire Sh;1.f."] I In a. former Volume of the "Cheshire Sneaf" one f your correspondents onee suggested that the Sheaf" should be made the medium for collecting eomplete list of Cheshire and especially Chester -0-tll makers. The idea seems to me an excellent one, but it was not then acted upon. In the Manchester City News," however, the same thing i being done from week to week, and much useful and interesting information is the result. Cannot you, Mr. Editor, take the matter up again and issue such a list? As an indication of the sort of thing I mean, I enclose a few cuttings from the "City News." lllOHKU IhlOUOHTOV. HOLLAND, CHRSTKR. I The date of a clock by W. Holland, Chester, is I sought by "F. E. R. of Timperley. It is an I eight-day long-cased clock in oak and mahogany. PHILIP ANTROBUS. I R. J. H." would he glad to learn the place of I origin and date of a grandfather clock bearing- the I lame of Philip Antrobus. KVAXK, POOL QUAY. I "L. S. R. Chorley, would lie glad to know the date when W. Evans, of Pool Quay, was making grandfather clocks. I H. C. Holt, of Trevatha, Paul, Penzance, wishes ;)fne information respecting Henry lliggmbotham, of Macclesfield, a maker of grandfather clocks. One of the clocks in our correspondent's* possession has a third finger indicating the ditys of the month, and a moving dial shewing the phases of the moon. CORN FORTH, MACCLESFIELD. I W. H. D. of Weston-super-Mare, replying to H. A. states that W. B. Cornforth, Maccles- field, died on January 1:3. 1845. HIGGINBOTTOM, BAIUIQW. I W. I-lallworth, of London Road. Hazel Grove, Wishes to know the ages of clocks made by Higgin- bottorn, Macclesfield, and Thomas Barrow, Stock- Port. J. DUMVILT.10, ALDERTBY. I Mr. Ernest M'Connell, of Carlton-streefc, Moss Side. wishes to know the date of a clock by J. Dunn-me, Alderley, and also some information about its maker. It has been in his family for three generations. COOPKR, WAIlHINi/rON. I there is in this district a clock of a rather Peculiar make. It has a face about one foot square of chased brass, with Roman numerals, only one our finger, no rainute hand, and no emblematic illustrations of the seasons above the dial plate, as many have. The striking apparatus is managed by one weight doing service tor both going and striking, and this weight is held by a rough hen ipsa cord which is double, and is wound up by pulling one of the ends. The bell is said to have a rich musical tone. The half-hours are denoted by an engraved arrow between the Roman figures. The case is of dark oak, high and narrow, with a spiral screw on eaeh side the face. In the lower part of the door is inserted a greenish circle of glass, a bull's eye." The maker's name is Cooper, Warrington. The owner of the clock would be glad to obtain the probable date of it. Delamere. SARAH CASH. [The idea is certainly a good one, and if the dates of the various makers could be added it would make the list of great interest and value.—ED.] I was very much interested in seeing "Higher "roughton's" suggestion as to collecting in the h Sheal" notes of old Cheshire and especially Chester clockmakers. I think the idea an excellent 011e, and I send my small contribution culled the other evening from a few minutes' visit to Mr. Parker Jones's furniture shop in Foregate-street. I saw there three old docks and took the trouble to Hake the following notes (1) Oak cased clock banded with mahogany, uted quarter columns on body, fluted columns on head, brass and silvered dial. Maker Jas. Green Eantu-ich. I notice in the list of wills proved at Chester, puhhshed by the Record Society of Lancashire and Chepbire, that the will of James Green, of Nant- wich, elockmaker, was proved in 1782. This fixes the date of the above dock as earlier than this. I should guess the daf* to be about 1760. Perhaps some reader of h,; "Sheaf" can supply fuller Particulars about James Green.

IT ESWIILL. GRECIAN STATUARY.-A very pretty series of tableaux representing groupes of Grecian statuary was presented at Miss N. Gilling's concert at the Temperance Hall on Thursday night. The concert was in aid of the fund for defraying tho debt on the building, and as there was considerable difficulty in accommodating all who desired to sec the concert the object should benefit considerably. The cubjects depicted by the tableaux" were Slumber, a waken- ing, prayer, toilet, dance, horror, death, mourning guardian angel; May Queen faith, hope and charity Christian martyr homeless snow queen; Ora pro Nobis; Rock of Ages the nations. The groups were composed by the following under the direction of Mr. Owen :—The Misses Marjory May, D. Ellis, N. Gilling, K. Harrison. J. Toder, M; Meyer, E. Meyer, E. Owen, J. Robinson, D.

PARKGATE. FISHERMEN IN PERIL Considerable | anxiety existed in Parkgate on Friday nig'ht as to the fate of two young fishernwl1, James Campion and Joseph Jones, who had set owt. with their j trawling boat early in the afternoon and failed to return with the flood tide. There was a stiff breeze blowing when they left, and this dc- veloped into such a severe gale that early in the evening efars were felt for their safety. Before the darkness closed in a IJwJl boat was observed' running- in for shelter IJCGJ" Mc>tyn, and it was hoped that this was the missing fishing boat. As tjw night wove on. however, and no wive or inti, riiation of -any kind reached Parkgate, grave fears were felt that, they hacl gon down in the u'cm. Mr. \V. Jonos, of Sunset House, the local i >■ c-; tentative of tho Shipwrecked Marineis' Society, j made his way to the Nekton Telephrno Office with 1 one of the relatives about midnight, and tele-I phoned to Mostyn. but could not be connected with any officiae twho could give informal ion.

Nothing had been sle-eil clil, heard of the missing fishermen, however, and a smilar report was received from Prestatyn. They were now practically given up for lost, but about 5 a ni. they reached their homo thoroughly exhausted with the experiences of tti,) night.

I AN ELECTION SEQUEL. I l M R. ITARRY APPEAL. r APPEAL COURTS DECISION. In the Court of Appeal on Thursday, the Lord Chancellor and Lord Justices Vaughan W illiams and Stirling allowed the appeal of Mr. Hany Marks, dissolv ng an injunction granted by )1r. Justice Channel] in chambers restraining him from mftkicg certain remarks with referen-'e to the obtaining ot a letter from Mr. Cliamberla n in support of the c-and elature of Mr. Goodhart. who is also standing in the Union st interest for the Isle of Thanet Division cf Kent. t I I I Mr. Duke, in support of the appeal, said that the Corrupt Practices Act made it illegal to make or publish any false statement of fact in relation to the personal character or conduct of a candidate. The matter in dispute between the call I I two candidates was a letter cf recommendation whi h sameo.ne obtained for Mr. Goodhart from Mr. Chamberlain recommending the plaintiff as Or Tariff Reform cand-<}%?«- The bone cf con- tention way that by some means- Mr. Goodhart had come to be recommended by Mr. Chamber- lain as The Unionist and Tariff Reform candidate. The defendant Marks was the candidate recom- mended to the constituency by the Union";t As- J soeiat-lon. which had existed for a great many years, and by the branch of the Tariff Reform League- in the di-st-eiet, being a society of w}¡;eh M'. Chamberlain was the founder aed practic- ally the head. Under these circumstances Mr. Marks had stated a.t a public meeting that Mr. Chamberlain'# letter, which said in terms tha.t it, had been represented to him that Mr. Goodhart was tho Unionist, and Tariii neorm League candidate, had been obtained by false pretences.. That was the statement rc&trained by the ip- I juncfon. The facts which Mr. Marks alleged! were thst lr. Goodhart was cot wht was ca]!ed a Tariff Roforrnar or a supporter of Mr. Chamber- lain or a member of the TariiT Reform -League. It was not preiended. so far 0..3 counsel could see. that Mr. Goodhart v/cs any one of th so things. Whoever satisfied Mr. Chamberlain to the contrary lmist. have done so by falie pre- tence1. Only two or t)ree lines of Mr. Mark-'s speech had been put before the judge in .hambers. Counsel read a report of the speech, and sub- mitted that it woa ccar that no a!h>gat-on was made against Mr. Goodhart'j personal character, and the expression "false pretcsees'* d'd not- apply to him but to the person who obtained the letter. Under the circumstances the statement did net I (oute "ÇInthm L¡oC Act, and there was i:o ground for interference with the freedom of speech to I which thsiy had been accustomed in this couniry I in discussing political questions. Lord Justice Yaugban. Williams poinied cut that there was an aliegatien in the speech that Mr. Goodhart po-.ed as b-^ng Tvhst- he was not. Mr. Duke, said that was so, but the suggestion refenvd to Mr Geodhrrt'-i political, and not to his personal, conduct. M-. Goodhart wautecl to clc-Se the inouth cf h's opponent, and placard the constituency with a notice of the injunction.. Twehe months hence the case would come before a jury, and he would perhepi pay damages for haYin? wrougL'1y cbtair-cd ?n injnnct on. It I w?s a comic-cpera situation.

He I had an affidavit which shewed conclusively tha-v Mr. Chamberlain, knew the whole circumstances. Lord Justice Vaughan WiiJian sa-d that had nothing to do with the question before the! court. L i ]1 1 Jd I The L icl ChannH ?r said lbs injunction cou l d not stand. It was not alleged by Mr, Marks that Mr. Goodhart had personally niode false prefrencce. and therefore it not a matter which c*l'od for the cxerciee of -the statutory power of the oourt. Provided the .ta-tute was not violated it was not intended thit free cri tic- ism in P.liamentary elections should be inter- fered with. The appeal was accordingly allowed, with costs, and the injunction was dissclved. f¡-. 1'

RECOVEltY OF A CHESTER M.S. I The following is this week contributed to the Cheshire Sheàf" Mr. Madan, of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, has recently unearthed a Manuscript of the highest interest to Chester people. This is a volume in praise of Chester, written by Luc-ian the Monk, ,.J)f)1Jt the year ll'AT. Jlr. Mad or. in CL letter to the Rev. Francis Sanders, tk learned Editorial Secre- tary of the Chester Arcbieologica' Society, to whom he at once communicated his discovery, says that the volume has lain in the Bodleian unnoticed since IGOl, and, although it has been in the printed catalogues since 1029, it appears to have entirely escaped the notice of antiquaries and bistori ms of Chester. It contains a lengthy account of tlie site, circutr.stances and buildings of Chester between the years 11VM and 1107. It seems to be fun of wordy treatises on theological subjects, but there is a residuum of very valuable information on the con- dinon and aspect of Chester at the time, and Mr. Madan adds that he cannot call to any similar work" on an English City of so early a date. It is interesting to notice that Camden quotes from the Manuscript in his Magna Britannia and calls Lucian "a rare author and lived a little after the Conquest." Gough also seems to have examined the Manuscript, as he speaks of it and gives a short account of its contents. Ormerod refers to it in his preface. The document, however, is clearly of the greatest interest, and so that it mAy not again be lost to N-ler, it has been arranged, through the kindness of Mr. Madan, that a complete transcript be made of the topographieal portion, and this will be printed by the Record Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, who have already printed the famous Anuales (Jestricllses.

I OLD CHESTER INCIDENT. The following is reproduced from the "Cheshire Sheaf," now being revi ved in the Courant, The two following documents spea.k for them- selves. They bring home vividly to us the dis- abilities under which Nonconformists laboured during the greater part of the reign of Charies II. At the same time, the fact shown by these two documents, that four whole years elapsed between the lodging of tlie information and the issue of the writ for the arrest of Jonathan Goldson, rather suggests that the rigours of the law were not put into operation with any undue haste. On the otber hand, the bare mention of the Northgate gaol must have been sufficient to coerce ma.ny of the weaker men, for it long had the uneviable distinction of ljeing one of the worst gaols in the whole of England. Can any reader throw any light on the names cf the others n.entioned. especially on the name of Mr. Cooke ? To the right worshipfull the Maior of the Citty of Chester and to Thomas Throppe and Itieliai-d Broster Esquires and the rest of His Majesties Justices of the Peaoe in the said Citty. Whereas I am well assured that there have beene of lite within this Citty of Chester divers unlawful! assemblies conventicles ur meetings of people dis- affected to his sacred Mijestie and th* good and wholesome Lawes and Statutes of this Cbnreh and Kingdome and the Government thereof, in viola- tion and opposition of the said Lawes and Statutes and especially of one Act of Parliament made in the ooth year of the Raigne of Queen Elizabeth, And Particularly it doth ttppear unto me by good testimony upon the oath of three Constables of this Citty who were eye witnesses thereof, that there was an unlawful! assem bly and conventicle of about iifty or threescore persons of several families at the house of Mr. Cooke in this Citty upon Sunday last being the last of January 10(>3, whereof, Mr. Beter Leigh, Mr. Richard Bridge, Jonathan Goldston and Michael Lench were some, where the said Couke did take upon him to preach and expound, and did all of them joyne together in a pretended religious worship, And when the said constables commanded them to forbear, the parties above named did peremptorily answer that they would not, for they were about their Master Jesus Christ work or to that purpose. I thought good therefore to signifie the premises unto you and to desire you to put in execution the penalties of the said Act of the KIth Elizabeth and the first Chapter by oam- niitdng to prison both the said Mr. C>x»ke and the other prisons above and the rest that joynd with them and were present at the aforesaid conventicle and not to release them till they have made such public subHn?KMt and decI?'Ation .M ia an d by said Act is appointed, Which Act hJ8 M?jesti f his hte Proclamation hath declared to bee y n force and requires that it and all other laws to this purpose should bee observed and put in execution against such persons, and I hope you will not bo backward in soe good a work, that so the laws w-W bee put in execution, transgressors punished and others take exaniple not to offend in the like and the Public pea-ce of the Kingdom preserved, which ought to bee the prayers and endeavours of us all I shall rest.
