THE FLINTSHIRE JOINTEDUCATION COMMITTEE'S PROPOSALS. We have received a copy of the outlines of pro- posals for a scheme submitted to the Charity Com- missioners by the Joint Education Committee of Flintshire, under the Welsh Intermediate Educa- tion Act. The outlines contain the general pro- poses which the Committee has made after holding 33 meetings, after inquiries at Mold. Rhyl, Holy- well, Newmarket, Hawarden, Overton and Han- mer after taking part in three meeting of the Conference of the Joint Education Committees of Aorth Wales and after four meetings of the Con- ference of the Joint E lucation Committees of Walea and Monmouthshire. The proposals deal with, amongst other matters, the establishing of new schools at Holywell, Mold and Rhyl, and the taking over of existing schools at Hawarden and St. Aeaph. The outlines first deal with the proposed govern- ing bodies and their functions. Thy Committee propose to form a county governing body for the whole county, and a local governing body for each district in which a school is established or taken over, and for the Maelor District, which ip, as our readers know an isolate(I p..rtioll of the county, cut off from the main part of Flintshire by Denbigh- shire, and embraces a purely agricultural and com- pact area. The functions of the County Governing Body will include the administration of funds provided by the County Council of the endowments included in the scheme or the Treasury Grant, and any donations or endowments hereaft-r handed to it. It will pay expenses of management and other outgoings in respect of property ..r business. The duty of arranging for inspection of the schools, of providing travelling teachers, of appointing and dismissing head masters and head mistresses, the control of religious instruction in boarding houses and hotels, as well as other matters, will rest with this body. The Local Governing Body will have to make provision for buildings, equipment, and play- grounds, and maintain and supervise them. I r, will also arrange the curriculum and the religious instruction of the day scholars, as provided by the scheme. It will fix the stipend of all the teachers, and have complete control over the sssistants. The functions delegated to this body also inclufle the control of local finance, including local endow- ments, as well as other matters. The suggested functions of the Central Educa- tional Board are very broad, and comprise the inspectioiiand examination of school, the encourage- ment of the training of teachers for intermediate schools, the organisation of a pension scheme for teachers, together with a number of others which promise to be of much value. The next thing in the outlines is the constitution of the governing b idies. The C unty Governing Body will consist of 23 members elected asf-llores: By the County Council 16. bv the Local Governing Bo tits 6, by the Council of Bangor C IIlt'ge 1, by the Senate of Bang(,r College I, by Co-optation 3 Of the members ot the County Council, four will retain office for three years four fur four years f, ur for five y,aril; and the order of retirement will have to be decided by lot. A1 members elect nl subsequently will hold office for three years, with thf exception of those frum Bangor College, who will have a term of five years. Men and women, inside or outside the bodies named, may be eltcted. There will be six Local Governing Bodies, and they are to be elected as follows HAWARDKN. I Elected by parents and guardians 2 (one to be a woman,) donors and subscribers 2, parish v. stry of Hawarden 1, Hope School Board 1, Northop School Board 1, elected guardians for the purish-s of Hawarden, Hope and Northop, and the town- ships of Saltney, Higher Kinnerton, and Marford and Hoseley 3 (one to be a woman,) County Gov- erning Board 1, County Council 3, Co-optation 2.

I Parents and guardians 2, donors and subscribers 2, Parish Vestry 2, elected guardians for the parishes of Treineirchion, Cwm, and Bodfari 1, County Governing Body 1, County Council 3, Co- optatiou 2. The donors must have given jE5 and upwards to qualify for a vote, but should there be less than 25 the representation will cease and in the case of the number being between 25 and 50, the number will be reduced to one. In the case of Hawarden and St. Asaph, the first two co-optative members will be elected by the Joint Committee after con- sultation with the present governors of the schools in those places. All the members will retain office for three years, and men and women are eligible for election. Part III- of the outlines deals with the county schools. It recites that new schools are to be established at Holywell, Mold, and Rhyl, and the existing schools at Hawarden and St. Asapk are to be taken over. An annual grant of JE150 is to be paid to the local governing body for the district of Maelor, to be applied by them in one or both of the following ways:—(1) Scholarships and bursaries to children of the district (2) evening classes in subjects of intermediate and technical instruction. The schools at Holywell, Mold, and Rhyl are to be dual day schools, each to accommodate 60 boys and 40 girls as day scholars. The school at Hawarden is to be a dual school, to accommodate 50 boys and 30 girls as day scholars, and to comprise boarding accommodation for boys. The school at St. Asaph is to be a day and boarding school for boys, and toaccommodate eiglity boys as day scholars. Any of the schools may be converted by the County Governing Body, on the request of the Local Governing Body, into a board- ing school in two departments, one for boys and one for girls. Part IV deals with the provision of buildings. The local governing bodies of Hawarden. Holy- well. Mold, and Rhyl schools are to provide proper school buildings, including, as far as may be practicable, chemical and physical laboratories, workshops, gymnasium, kitchen, and laundry. The buildings are to be on a freehold site, and ample playgrounds are to be provided. In dual schools separate entrances, class-rooms, and playgrounds are to be provided for boys and girls. Then the outlines contain an important matter as to funds. Hawarden is to raise by voluntary subscription not ICBs than jEl.200, and the other three districts (Holywell, Mold, and Rhyl) not less than £1 500 each. The Joint Committee, out of the accumula- tion of the local taxation money, will provide E800 towards the building fund of Hawarden school, and £ 1000 to each of the building funds at Holy- well, Mand Rhyl. The schools will not be taken unless the subscriptions are actually paid v. itiiin two years of the scheme, and the < oner the money is paid the sooner the schools ill start to work. The Joint Committee will give i £500 to the St. Asaph Grammar School. I The estimated income of the County Governing Body forms an important section. The foilowing is the estimate .2 A, S. U.

Under the section Financial proposals" the Committee pronose that of the above estimated sum of £ 3 36S 6a lOd, the County Governing Body will pay the Treasury grant to the schools. The cnst of administration is estimated not to exceed ;E250 a year. The contribution to the Central Educational Board is to be a sum not exceeding B150. or to be a fixed proportion of the £ d rate, as agreed upon with other counties. The schools at Holywell, Mold, and Rhyl, shall have a fixed annual grant of JElUU each, and tne schools at Hawarden and St. Asaph fixed grants of 180 each, i e., JE1 a head, reckoning by the number of dav scholars, for whom accommodation has to be provided. The Maelor District is to have a fixed grant of 1:150. It is proposed to devote a sum not exceeding one-sixth of the income of the county fund (i.e. £ 560) for county exhibitions, and such sum towards travelling teachers, as the County Governing Body may think desirable. The, amount for Scholarships and Bursaries is to be not less than one-sixth nor more than one-third of the income of the county fund (i.e. R560 to £ 1.120.) The amount available for Scholarships and Bursaries, and also any residue after payment of all other out-goings, will be divided amongst the different schools in propoition to the number of childien (ex- cluding children from other counties in attendance at the schco's) provided that the County Governing Body may by a majority of two-thirds of those present and voting after due notice given, divide the scholarship fund amongst the schools in such proportion as it may think fit, and may, by a like majority, apportion the residue amongst the schools as it thinks fit, or apply it to encourage particular branches of study, or add it to the Capital of the County Fund, or apply it in one or more of these ways. It will be seen that the Committee have not allocated amongst the schools the whole of the money at their disposal, in fixed proportions, but have recommended that in the case of scholarships and of the residue, the division should, in the ordinary course of things, be in proportion to the number of children in the school. They have introduced the element of average attendance in these cases, because they feel it to be a matter of im- possibility to forecast wi th an y fairdegreeof accuracy, the relative needs and future numerical success of the various schools. They consider that there exists a very considerable danger that if the total income be divided amongst the schools in a fixed and rigid proportion, a school large in numbers would by the very reason of its numberB, find itself at a financial" disadvantage, while a smaller school might at the same time have more money than it needed-fi)f the difference between the average fee payable in each school and the average cost of education (estimated at jE8 per pupil, exclusive of the cost of scholarships), must be m..de up by the grants from the Treasury and the County Govern- ing Body. It is therefore necessary that, if the numbers in a school vary, the County Governing Body should have power to vary the grant. The proviso that the division of the scholarships and residue in prouortion to attendance, may be modi- fied by a majority of two-thirds of the County Governing Body, gives elasticity to the scheme, and the requirement of such a majority will pre- vent the difficulties that ffould arise if a bare majority of the County Governing Body were empowered to divide the scholarships and residue as it thought fit. The following is a rough estimate of the outgoings from the county fund :— £ II. d. Expenses of Administration. &c. 251) 0 0 Payment rof Treasury Grant to Schools 87S 13 9 Grant to Central Educational Board la > 0 0 Grant to Mael-ir District 150 0 0 Fixeil Grants to Schools 460 0 0 Travelling Teachers, say 35') 0 0 Exhibitions, say 300 0 0 Scholarships, 6\:0 II 0 Residua fir Distribution* 219 13 1 £ 3,368 6 l The Residue will be increased by additions to the capital of the County Fund from donations, tndowments, or o:her sources. With regard to scholarships and Bursaries it is provided that the total amount received by a Local Governing Body for scholarships and bursaries shall be used partly for scholarships and partly for bursaries in the proportion they may think fit. These are to be awarded among boys and girls in fair proportions, and shall be open to children residing in any part of the county. The scholar- ships will consist in total or partial exemption for school fees, and at least half shall be awarded to children who are, and have been for not less than three years scholars in public elementary schools in the county. They shall be tenable for one year, but may be renewned. The bursaries may be used to augment the value of the scholarships, or for other purposes provided, and the Local Govern- ing Body will award them where they are most needed, and not on the result of an examination. Respecting exhibitions these are to be not less than jElOin value. open to boys and girls, and are tenable for not more than three years at any place se'ected as being most euitab'e by the County Governing Body. In the matter of religious instruction, day scholars will have religious instruction, in accord- ance with the principles of the Christian faith, given in the school by the teachers only. under regulations framed by the local governing body. No religious catechism or religious formulary dis- tinctive of any particular denomination shall be taught. At boarding houses and hostels, certain clauses are inserted in the scheme to regulate the religious instruction and observances in boarding houses and hostels. Part X. deals with secular instruction, which is very comprehensive, and iucludes Latin, at least one modern foreign European language, and at least one branch of natural science, with special atten- tion to the industries of the district, and manual instruction. Girls will be taught domestic economy and the laws of health. In its miscellaneous provisions it is provi irid that the headmaster shall receive a fixed salary of E120 and a capitation fee. The fees for day scholars shall be not less than JE3. nor more than £ &, in- clusive of all subjects except instrumental music. I The fees for boarders,apart from tuition fees,shall not exceed JE30 in a hostel of the foundation, nor 940rin a master's house. No scholar will he entered under ten without special permission of the Local Governing Body, and all must have passed Standard V. or an eBxoadmyi; nation prescribed by the County Governing Body. No scholar may remain after seventeen, but under special circumstances can remain a year longer. The above nronoaals receive the unanimous support of the Committee, except on the following points :-The appointment of head masters and head mistresses, the appointment of assistant alters and mistresses, and the regulations as to religious instruction and observances in boarding houses and hostels. ♦

THE NORTH WALES LIBERAL FEDERATION AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS. The secretary of the North Wales Liberal Federa- tion has just issued a circular letter to the secretaries I of the constituency and Local Liberal Associations, in the following terms "OODSTY COUNCIL SUCTIONS. I 1 have the pleasure of communicating to you two resolutions adoptei by the Executive Committee of this Federation all follows 1st.—" That in the opinion of this Committee the forthcoming County Council elections in Wales should be fought on political Kfoundp, and that every candi- date should be asked to pledge himself in favour of the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church of England in Wales." 2nd. "That the secretary be instructed to convey the foregoing resolution to the constituency and Liberal Associations of North Wales." In view of the forthcoming general election it is considered to be of great importance that the voice of Wales saould he distinct'y declared upon the question of Welsh Disestablishnient and Disendowment. I need scarcely point out to you that (unless indesd the gtnernl election come first) the County Council electinn9, which will take place in the first week in March, will afford a capital opportunity of testing our organization, and of bringing ic into first-class form preparatory to the general election, whi. h must now be pretty close at hand. I shall be glad if you will bring the subject before your committee at the earliest possible moment, and [ trust that by the selection of the strongost candidate in each district, and ardent and aystematia work by the party, a great victory will be won. You will readily see that if through any mismanagement we fail to carry the County Council elections in a thoroughly satisfactory manner, it will tell agaiiibt us at the Par- liamentary elections. I beg, therefore, you will give this matter your earnest attention, and that you will also do everything in your power to bring your con- stituency into complete preparedness for the uenral election, whether it come before or after the County Council elections. Heartily wishing ymu the compliments of the season."

r LLANGOLLEN LOCAL BOARD. THURSDAY, JANUARY 7-n. Present Mr S. Lloyd Jones, in the chair; Rev. E. R. James, Mr David Parry, Mr Robert Hugbea, I Mr Edward Roberts, Mr Pryce Evans, and Mr J. E. Jones Mr Foulkes Jones, acting clerk and Mr Kendrick Jones, burveyor. A telegram was received from Mr Parry Jones, the olerk, statiug that he was suffering from a bad cold. GREEN LANE. The Works Committee recommended that, if a lamp be placed in Green-lane by the owners, the gas be supplied by the Board. The Chairman said he thought it was a private road. Mr David Parry said he should be very glad himself to know whether the road was a private or public road. He was told, and he believed that the Committee was so informed, that some years ago, the Board commenced to repair the road. The agents of the late Mr Robertson stopped this, but now he was informed that Messrs Richards aud Sons said it was a public road. He believed him- self that it was a tmblic road. It had been used by the public for years. _n- Rev. E. R. James said since the last meeting of the Board he had been looking over the enclosure maps, and it was shown as a private road. The road would have to be put in proper order before it could be taken over by the Board. Mr Parry said the Board ought to do its best to encourage people to build. Mr Edward Evans had spent a lot of money in that neighbourhood, and the road was certainly not in a fit state for anyone to go along it in the dark. If the owners were to put the road in repair, no doubt the Board would take it over. The Chairman thought the road had better be taken over by the Board before the question of lighting it was considered. Rev. E. R. James suggested that the Clerk should ascertain whether the road was a public or a private road. The Board would then know how it stood. Mr James's suggestion was adopted, and the recommendation of the Work's Committee was left over. I BRWOE STREET. The Works Committee rtpoitt-d that a letter had been received from Mr H. O. Thomas, with refer- ence to Bridge-street. They recommended that the footpath be continued aud new curbing put down, provided that Mr Thomas contributed the usual proportion of the cost. The Surveyor said Mr Thomas was willing to contribute his share. On the motion of Mr Parry, seconded by Mr Hughes, the recommendation was adopted. A FIRE ENGINE WANTED. The Works Committee reported that they con- sidered it absolutely essential that the town should have a fire engine, and they recommended that tht Board contribute JE50 towards the purchase of one, provided that the remainder be subscribed by the inhabitants of the town. The Chairman said he thought it was very necessary that they should have a fire engine. Mr Parry said a good engine would cost from £100 to E120, or perhapi a little more. Of course, a building would have to be built or secured for the housing of the engine. Mr Hughes asked whether the surplus of the money subscribed for the Queen's visit could not be utilised. The Chairman said he had mentioned the matter to Captain Best, and he thought that they should get something more substantial. He had thought of a bridge over the river. Rev. E. R. James said the putting up of a drink- ing fountain had been talked of fur many years. He thought that would be a very nice way of spending the surplus of the money subscribed for the Queen's visit. It was useless to speak of building a bridge aoruss the river wibh E50. Mr Parry said if the recommendation of the. Works Committee was adopted, and a public meet- ing was called to consider the matter, the public would tken see that the Board were in earnest. A committee could be formed, and he believed the money required would soon be subscribed. The Rev. E. R. James said even if they could not get a fire engine they might get a fire escape. Mr Parry said he felt sure the Insurance Com- panies would subscribe handsomely. The Rev. E. R. James pointed out that the nearest engine was at Wynnstay, and the next walP at Wrexham. He thought they should take some decided steps to bring the matter before the public. Thty were at present entirely helpless if a serious tire were to break out. On the motion of Mr Hughes, seconded by Mr Evans, the recommendation of the Committee was adopted and the Chaii man was requested to call a public meeting to consider the matter. THE ROADS AND FOOTPATHS. It was decided to order two boat loads of screen- ings for the footpaths on the main roads, and two boat loads of metalling. Mr David Parry said he had seen Mr Jones, the road surveyor for that part of the c >unty, who was surprised that the continuance of the footpath from the Prince of Wales along Regent-street was not carried out. He (Mr Parr.) ) told him that Mr Coward had bt en a little in the way, but that he thought Mr Coward was coming rouud to the Board's opinion on the matter. Mr Jones said that the Board could compel Mr Coward to allow the footpath.to be made and the cost of the work would be refunded. The Surveyor said he had also seen Mr Jones, who had spoken to him with reference to the same matter. liB ROGERS' SHED. T The Surveyor reported that in his opinion the shed erected by Mr Rogers at the rear of premises in Castle-street was in accordance with the Boaid's bye- laws, and the matter was therefore allowed to drop. AN OFFER. The Clerk read a letter from Mr Done, of Wrex- ham, offering to give a reasonable sum towards the cost of repairing the Bridge End urinal, which had been broken by his horse and trap coming in contact with it. Evidence was given that it had been caused by negligence, and the Clerk was instructed to take steps to obtain the cost, amounting to £ 2. lOJ, from Mr Done. NORTH WALES COLLEFIS. I Mr Robert Hughes was elected a governor to repre- sent the Local Board on the Council of the Bangor University College. THE WORKS COMMITTEE. On the motion of Air Parry, the chairman was elected a member of the Woik Committee, a com- plaint being made that the present members attend very irregularly. NOTICE OF MOTION, j The Rev. E. R. James gave notice of motion for the I next Board to call attention to the footpaths and I similar rights which are enjoyed by the public. I SANITARY. I Mr Daniel Parry reported that a large- heap of manure had been allowed to remain at the top of Ctiurch-ot,.eet from Wednesday t. Monday in Christ- mas week, and it was decided to istsue a summons against the person so offending.

RHOSESMOR NATIONAL SCHOOL, I OPENING OF A NEW WING. I A very enjoyable gathering was held at the school on Monday. on the occasion of the opening of the new wiiig, which has recently been added to the school by the kindness of his grace, the Duke of Westminster. As one ot the existing claas-rooma had been con- demned by Her Majesty's Inspector, and the erection of a new one suggested in its place, Mr Llewelyn J. Henry, ou the part of the managers brought the matter before the Duke of Westminster, in con sequence of which representation, his Grace visited the sctioal, and decided that an entirely new wing should be ailded to the building. Now that the work had been completed, the parishioners rightly lelt that they had been happily te eased from a very embarrass- ing difficulty, and wishing to testify their gratitude to his Giace for securing to them the benefit of the school buildings which had done such good service in the neighbourhood for upwards of thiiby year?,, they resolved to make the opsuing of the new wing an occasion of general rejoicing. Accordingly a com- mittee consisting of the vicar, churchwardens, and a representative number of the parishioners was ap- pointed, under the direction of which a subscription ilSt WHS opened, and the arrangements carried out. On Monday afternoon, the day appointed for the opening, < he children were assembled in the school at three o'clock, under the care of Mr Llewelyn P. Jones, the head master, and the assistant teachers. The chair was taken.by Mr J. Scott Banket), chair- man of the boatd of matiaeers,. who had kindly con- sented to preside on that inteieoting occasion. After distributing a number of prizes, which he annually presents as rewards for diligence, and regulaiity of attendance, the chairman explained that the object of the gathering was to celebrate the completion of the handsome now wing which had been just added to the school. The managers and parishioners generally must feel much indebted to the Duke of Westminster for so generous a gift, and he trusted that the expression of their acknowledgments would be duly conveyed to his Grace. The Duke of West- minster was always ready to devote a portion of his great wealth to a cause that was really deserving of such support. He would wish to impress upon the parents—now that they were released from the pay- ment of fees—the duty of training up the children in habits of thrift and economy by giving them that amount to be paid into a penny bank.—The resolu- tion, that the best thanks of the pal ishioners he pre- sented to his Grace, was iLconded by Mr Edward Jones, Penyrorsedd (churchwaiden), who spoke with much feeling of the continued kindness whish the church and school of Rhosesmor received from his Grace. The duk" had recently given the handsome donation of 2100 towards the restoration of the church, and had now oompleted their school with this I splendid addition, capable of accommodating sixty- nine children, and erected at a cost of nearly £ 25(X — The Vicar (the llev. Clement Davies), in supporting the resolution, snid he wished to join with their churchwarden, Mr Edward Jones, in seconding the vote of thanks to his Grace the Duke of West. minster, which their chairman had so fully expressed. He felt that they could never sufficiently thank his Grace for his kindness and generosity on this and many other occasions. If they had failed to comply with the requirements of her Majesty's inspector, the school must have been inevitably closed, and the use of the buildings lost to the parish. To the generosity of his Grace they were indebted for the continued benefit of the sohooli and for relief from a heavy addition for many years to their rates. He was sure  that they all regretted that Mr Henry, to whom they were so much indebted, was unable to be present t8 receive their thanks in person. They would also be grieved to hear of the illness of the Bishop, who had given them the privilege ot his recommendation in the matter of the new building, and wish him a speedy restoration to health. He had also the pleasing duty I ef offering their best thanks to their chairman, Air ) Bankes, for his kindness in presiding on this memor- able occasion. They owed Air Bankes a debt of gratitude for the interest that, as chairman of the restorati.)n committee, he had so kindly taken in the restoration of the church and they owed him a debt of gratitude also for the interest which, as chairman i of the managers, he always took in the welfare of Rhosesmor School. He trusted that all wouid lay to heart the good advice which he had given them upon I the vital questions of thrift and regularity of attend- ance.

The Birkenhead Town Council agreed to the Sunday opening of the Free Library, after a cli". cusii,on in the course of which a letter was read from the Bishop of Chehter in favor of the movement. Mr Clement Higgins, Q C.,IRecorder of Bii kenhead, in opening the Q iarter Sessions for that borough on Monday, coinmeuied on the unparalleled tact that there were only two prisoners for trial. Writing on Saturday from Mentone, Mr Spurgeon records the fact that on the previous morning he gave two short addresses to about a d()zn of his friends in his liot-I. Tous, he says, H.-i that was almost num- bered with the dead is now beilllling to speak in the ears of the living. At the sessions held at Taunton on Wednesday an appeal against the discision of the K-ynaltirn jidticef, who refused to sanction the transfer of the licence of the Crown Inn at Keynshum becau>e it was a tied house, was sustained. This, it is said, is the first tiue the question lias been raised in this form. Mr Wynne Baxter, the coroner for East London, held two inquii ieaon Wednesday with reference to the deaths ot young children, an 1 in each case the parenti appeared to have suffered from extreme desti- tution. In one instance, in which tha mother of the deceased child said she had asked at the Workhouse for nourishment, but that none had been given to her. The Coroner said he did not want to be continually playing on the same string, but the Poor Law system needed alteration, for at present it was to a great extent nothing but a delusion. Upon ciucci's going to scale on Wednesday it was found there was a loss of but four ounces in the pre- ceding 24 hours, which brings the total loss to 23,h. 4 z though this is still considerably more than he lost in the corresponding period of his forty day. fast a couple of years back. During the day he was visited at the Westminster Aquarium by a large number of people, though his receptions were not commenced until neariy four o'clock in the afternooll. At a quarter to six he completed 21 days of fasting, and at 10 45 n m. had been without food for 509 hours out of the 1 248 he is attempting. At Dorset Quarter Sessions on Wednesday, two grooms, named Spencer and Radford, lately employed at Canford Manor, the Dorsetshire residence of Lord Wimhorno, were each sentenced to one month's hard labor for maliciously destroying thirty-two statues and ornamental garden vases, valued at 2100, in the grounds at Can ford Manor, one night in November la.t. Some of the pottery was exceedingly rare, and cannot be replaced. The only explanation prisoners offered was that the damage was done in a drunken frensy. At Midillewich Petty Sessions on Wednesday Catherine Hodgkinson was charged with cruelly ill. treating her stepson, aged eight years. At the last court the woman was fined 40i and costs for driviiig the boy naked into the back yard on a bitterly cold night, throwing a bucket of water over him, and heating him until black and blue. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which again prosecuted, through Mr E. S. Giles, solicitor, of Chester, said that since the last court the woman had piiisued her previous cruel treatment of the boy, keep- ing him for hours carrying water and kicking him. The little fellow's hand had become much swollen and I discolored by a blow. The bench sentenced her to a month's imprisonment with hard labor, and ordered the nhilH tn hn tivpn tin to his tneat aunt. -r At the Cheshire adjourned Quarter Sessions on Wednesday his Honor Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd, pre- siding. William Clewe. who on Monday with hisfather had been sentenced to two months' hard labor for assaulting a man named Thomas, was again called up. The Chairman said he had doubts at the time as to his paiticipation in the attack, and he had again read the depositions over, with the result that he would be liberated on entering into his recognisances to he of good behaviour. The sentence upon the father would stand. The Undei-Secretary for the Home Department, in acknowledging the receipt of a petition from the inhabitants of Portsmouth on behalf of Fanny Gane. the capital sentence on whom was commuted to ponal servitude for life foi the murder of her infant child at Ventnor, has intimated that the case will not be lo>t sight of, hut that the Home Secretary cannot at the present time advise any departure from his decision.

He was followed to the railway station, and was there arrested on suspicion. He was after- wards identified at the police station, and taken back to Canterbury prison. A test case, in regard to the liability ef overseers for omitting from the rate-book the name of an ocenpier entitled to have his nall1'1 placed thereon, came before Mr Marsham, at the Southwark Pollce- court on Wednesday. Application was made hy Mr Basset Hopkins. instructed by Mr R-itwick SanHr. secretary of the London Liberal and Radical U nion, for a sutitniont4 against the oversers of the pari-h ot St. Olave's, under the 19th section of the Poor Hate Assessment Act, in respect of the omission of the name of Mr Westall. who had thereby been unable to vote at the School Board election.

Probably no portion of the world is at present attracting greater attention than Manitoba and the- north-west territories "i the Dominion. The vvotider- ful interest created by the reports of the British tenant farn.ers' delegates, who visited that country nn the invitation of the Canadian Government in 18901 has been revived by the enormous crop of wheat which has just been harvested, computed by some to exceed 25 million bushels,. The Canadian Pacific Railway has already commenced to move this crop towards the eastern seaboard at the rate of 100,000. bushel per day, five train loads of 30 cars each, or cars per day being required for the purpose. FlgureO like these increase the value of the statement* IR.RL In the Farmers* Delegates' reports, and it will be interesting to those who intend leaviug the mother country to seek homes abroad, as wsll as those who II are anxious to invest capital, to learn that the Dominion Government is prepared to send. posi free, to any address both these reports and other newly- iasued illustrated pamphlets on Manitoba, Assinuiboia, Alberta, Athabasca, British Columbia, and other parts of Canada, and to supply information respect- ing the Dominion, its resources, trade, &c., upon I application to Mr John Dyke,, Canadian tioverument Agent, 15.

I CORRESPONDENCE. MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S KIND ADVICE TO NONCONFORMISTS. Sip-Tlie firm, unwavering member for Bir- mingham, should have waited mrtil the Noncon- I formists of Denbighshire and Wales i/euerallv had [ sought his advice before proffering it so very kindly, ering it so very kindi -v. It Mr Chamberlain is serious, of course he has also advised the clergy and those who oppoee Disestab- lihlJ/ellt to vote with the supporters of Mr Glad- f stone as the best means of averting the coming I certain event. This would be consistent, b»t we have long since found out that it is not to Mr Chamberlain we are to look for consistency.— j WHAT IS SAUCE TO THE GOOSE IS I SAUCE TO THK GANDER.

.— THE HEALTH OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH. Onr representative called at the Palace, St. Asaph, on Thursday morning, and on inquiry as to the Bishop's health, was informed that his Lordtdiip had spent a good ninht, and was progressing favorably. It was his Lordship's desire to leave his bed, but his medical attendant, Dr. Heaton, advised his teinaining for a day or two further. There were many inquirits at the Palace respecting the Bishop's health, and his progress in health was received with pleasure. The weather was exceedingly inclement, a large quantity of isnow having fallen during the night. 0-

THE WREXHAM PARISH CLOCK AND CHUuCH. This useful public servant has been taking a rest, owing to a seriou< derangement of the works. Mr Joyce, of Whitchurch, has been cslled in, and he has made what is hoped to be a complete cure. The inoverneiit is now going, but so far the fingers have not been connected with it. but by t'le time this sheet reaches the reader they will have resumed their useful duties. The estimated oust of repairing the clock and n'aking provisions for the safety of fahlic should the weights ever fall again, is £100, and the churchwardens are about to issue an appeal for help, which we think ought to be very widely re- sponded to. The church clock is a public servant, and Nonconformists as well as Conformists may be expected to help. We hear further that the additional expenses caused by the extra services in tiie Paii-ii Church, and which are considerable, will form the basis of a further appeal to the congregatiou for help.
