ENGLISH CHURCH UNION. —M the anniversery of
the Bristol branch of the English Chinch Union on
Tuesday, the Rev. S. Moultrie proposed a vote ex-
pressive of sympathy with the Rev. A. Wagner, under
the embarrassment caused by the recent proceedings in
reference to the Road murder. The suggestion is to be
considered at the next monthly meeting of the society.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. W. D. Wills, J.P. for
Bristol, late deputy-chairman of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway Company, and head of the well-known firm of
W. D. and fl. 0. Wigs and Sons, tobacco manufac-
turers, of Bristol, died on SaturdAy at St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, from the effects of an accident he met
with on the previous Thursday evening. Mr. 'Wills
was in London attending the May meetings of various
religious societies, in which be took an interest, and on
Thursday evening was crossing at the foot of Snow.hill,
when he was knocked down by an omnibus. The driver
called out, but Mr. Wills did not hear him, and the
horses could not be stopped before the forewheel had
passed over both his legs below the knee, inflicting
compound fractures on each. His left leg was most
severely crushed, in addition, by the pressure of the
drag, which was on the bind wheel. Mr. Wills
requested to be removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
and on his arrival at that institution Mr. Holmes Coote
found it necessary to amputate the leg below the knee.
The deceased gentleman bore the operation very well,
and hopes were entertained of his recovery. He, how-
ever, gradually sank, and, as already stated, died in the
course of Saturday. lifr. Wills was much esteemed by
all classes of his fellow-citizens. At the inquest on
Monday it was proved that the driver of the omnibus
waa not to blame. A verdict of "Accidental death"
was returned.

Tan salmon-producing rivers of Great Britain ean be
counted on the fingers. There is not one, barring the
Thames, between the lichen and the Humber, or nearly
one-third of the seaboard of the island. 6.000 sheep
are sold every week at Islington, and mottos averages
81. per lb. all round. The Tay, which is our largest
salmon river, annually produces about 900,000 lb. of
salmon, equivalent to 16,000 sheep and lambs, or a
three weeks' supply for London alone. Is, then, salmon
ever likely to be cheaper than lamb, one shilling
per poundl—Once a Week.
Exraaerre from the-speeches made before the Connell
and Members of the Royal Agricultural Socie'y of Eng-
land upon Thorley's Coneiment :—" By its me the
sheep improved iii the most extraordinary degree,—so
mach so, that after they had taken it three or four
weeks, I really hardly knew them aeain."—T. Beale
Browne, Esq.—" On my horse the effect was mar-
vellous; with cow. pigs, and dogs, the same result"—
Mr. H Cotton.—"l can unheeitatingly say that Lord
'earners has been satiafied with it, both in respect to
young animals and those arriving at maturity."—Mr.
Etarker.—" My horses improved upon it so much that
I was quite serprised."—Mr. Cantrell.—" I am satisfied ,
qua, apart from every other cause, the recovery of my
sheep and lambs was due to the use of this Condiment
Other Condiments had not the effect Thorley'. had. I
ave tried the food of other makers, and it failed cora-
pletely."—Major Munn.
