of £l, and the other of the value of is, and also with

cution, said no traces of the twenty shillings order

CHILD-STEALING IN FRANCE.

An atrocious case of child-stealing, which was fol-
lowed by an attempt to murder, has just been brought
to light near Paris. Some of the crew of a river
steamboat, hearing the cries of a child in the water
while passing near the St. Cloud bridge, the vessel
was hove to and searches were made which resulted
in the discovery of a little boy just on the point of
drowning. When recovered from the effects of his
immersion, the boy, who was 7 years old, stated that
he had been stolen from his parents at La Villette by
a mountebank, who, finding that one of his arms was
broken, threw him into the river. The mountebank
has been promptly arrested by the police, who found
him at a fair.

THE COLUMBIA ESTATE.

The Baroness Burdett-Coutts has addressed the
following letter to the tenants of the Columbia Estate:
"My dear Friends,—The dissolution of the existing
Parliament again summons you to exercise the im-
portant right of voting for a return of a member to
represent your borough in Parliament. The elder of
my tenants on the Columbia Estate will again re-
member, and the younger will learn on this occasion,
that it has never been my practice to hamper or im-
pede them in the exercise of this right, a citizen's
gravest and greatest prerogative This has been a
principle which, whether as commoner or peer, I have
never, and shall never infringe ; at the same time I
would remind you that I have on former occasions
offered my opinion and tendered you my advice vvheu
sought. I have as a general rule recommended you
..bkLLiLi; ana in
that word I mean a man of honour and good conduct
maintained throughout his life, whether it has been
passed in labour or in leisure. But at the present
juncture the area of the representation has been
largely increased, and the issues have become, from
many combining circumstances, of permanent im-
portance. Upon the vote of to-day the stability and
welfare of the Empire may depend for many future
years; and I feel as one of the people of England
whose interests are at stake, that I am bound to place
my opinion on public questions more definitely before
you, not to interfere, but to direct your thoughts, in
some measure, to subjects upon which you may not
have reflected, but which are as important to you as
they are to myself. For this purpose I enclose Mr.
Burdett-Coutts' address to another constituency. In
any case this address would have an interest for you, as
you know him well as coming and going to and fro
among you, and whatever opinion you may form, or
whatever action you may adopt, you will know that the
address embodies the opinions of a sincere and f..ith-
ful friend of the working classes. I will add but one
word more upon which you and all voters should
ponder. England and England's people, abroad and
at home, need a strong Government. In my belief
the hands which now wield this mighty power are
strong. In 1880 I stated in a paper I wrote in reply
to an application for pecuniary help for a political
obiect, that I considered the Liberal party too dis-
organised to offer such a Government to the country.
My opinion has been justified by the last few years'
experience, and I do not believe that the Liberal
party can now give England a strong Government,
however large its majority may be, if in the coming
election it proves to have one.—With best hopes for
your future happiness, I am your sincere frieni and
well-wisher, "BURDETT-COUTTS.

ROWLEY REGIS SCHOOL BOARD.

Mr. George Green presided on Monday night at
the last meeting of the Rowley School Board as at
present conatitated.—The Attendance Officer re-
ported that there were the names of 4,748 children
on the books, the average attendance being 3,939
and the percentage of attendance 83.—The Chair-
man present3d his treantrer's report, which showed
that the Board had now accommodation for 6,723
children, ,vhicia wile in reality in excess of thi G-ov-
-4:raiment requirements, but the Board had con-
sidered it desirable to provide accomme dation for
infants between three and five years of age. Dar'
int; the three years the Board had purchased the
Corngreves Schools, at a cost of £2,000. New
schools were being erected at Spinner's End, and
several schools have been enlarged. The number
of children in schools had increased 1,500, sni the
average attendance 1,300. The actual cost t the
ratepayers for teaching- was at the rate of 21c1 per
annum. and with the payment of interest on loans
it was sd. in the pound. He was glad to state that
during the past three years there had been a saving
of 5s per head with respect to the cost of teac ing,
which amounted to a total saving of £Bll 15s. He
thanked the members of the Board for the assi..4-
ance they had rendered him, and. trusted the new
Board would be able to do the work better than the
present Board had.—Mr. Hadley said the Govern-
ment reports showed that the teachers had per-
°rine their duties in a very satisfactory manner.
—Mr. Pewtrees said there had been a great increase
in the amount of school fees remitted.

COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

A serious collision occurred off Dungeness Point
on Tuesday morning between the Ida Marshall, of
Sunderland, a screw steamer of 930 tons burthen,
outward bound, and in ballast, and the steamship
Navigation, 1100 tons, of London, homeward bound.
The crew of the former vessel were landed at Dover
in the morning and received at the National
Sailors' Home, and according to their statements it
appears that they were running down Channel, and
all went well until about half-past twelve, when they
were off Dungeness. The night was rather hazy, but
they could see the other vessel some time before the
collision occurred. The Navigation, however, steamed
right on to them and ploughed open a large breach in
the hull of the Ida Marshall. The whole of the crew,
16 in number, were quickly on deck, and it was found
that the vessel was fast settling down. The boats
were therefore got out, and the crew left their vessel,
and were afterwards picked up by the other colliding
steamer and brought on to Paver.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE IN.
LONDON:

The terrible conflagration which has swept away
a fiery wave upwards of 700 residences in Galveston
is a fresh warning as to the need of readily available
water supply, provided especially with a view to flre;
In the great American cities water is usually supplied
with a bounty that seems to us very wasteful. In
the nine principal cities of the 'United States, each
with a population exceeding 200,000 persons, the
water delivered averages more than 70 gallons per
head per day. This is double the London water
supply in the thirstieth time of the year. In Chicago,
which was ravaged in 1871 by a fire that raged for
four days, that swept an area of more than three
square miles, and burned down 25,000 buildingø.
the present water supply, derived from the lake on
the banks of which the city is built, is at the rate
of 110 gallons per head per diem. This is
remarkable instance, not only of the burned
child dreading the fire, but of the adoption of wir
precautions against a recurrence of the evil. This
magnificent supply is not only the most copious, but
also the cheapest in the world. While the revenue
derived from the Chicago waterworks is 10•26 per
million gallons, the actual cost of that supply is little
more than a tenth of that price—viz., 1.11 per million
gallons.: In these two terrible fires the buildings were
chiefly of wood, and the conflagration once on foot
was strong enough to mock all attempts at extinction.
We ought not, however, to forget that in that quiet
and easy pavement which is now spreading over
London lies a source of possible danger in the case of
a great fire. It is rather to constant watchfulness, to '
the regular testing of every source of watet supply se
to its accessibility and working order, and to instant
action when fire breaks out, than to any other pre'
caution, that we nmst look for the safety of London.

THE SOCIETY OF CYCLISTS.

On Tuesday evening the ordinary meeting of the
Society of Cyclists was held at 9, Conduit-stroet,
Regent-street, under the chairmanship of Dr. B. W.
Richardson. After the minutes of the previous meet-
ing had been passed, and a number of new members
elected, the chairman stated that it had been decided
to hold a congress of members at Colchester on Wed-
nesday, June 2G, to the following Saturday. The two
sections would commence the work of the congress on
the second day, and the last day would be devoted to
excursions to places of interest in the neighbourhood.
The communications to the society were by Mr. J.
Glover, who exhibited and explained a new form
of tricycle; by Mr. D. 11. Blyth, "On the
Essex Route to Kent;" and by Mr. and Mrs.
Pennell, " Our Sentimental Journey." Mr.
Glover, in his invention by means of second
power levers, aims at preventing what is known as a
"dead centre," and also enabling the rider to alter
his speed gearing without dismounting. Mr. Byth's
paper briefly described a route out of the metrooolis
by which cyclists could avoid the traffic and bad sur-
face of the ordinary road. Mr. Pennell's paper dealt
with a tour which he, in company with his wife,
took to Rome. He expressed great dissatisfaction
with the charges made by the English railway com-
panies for the carriage of tricycles, and spoke very
favourably of the roads and treatment he received
whilst on the Continent. The paper was listened to
with considerable interest, and a vote of thanks was
accorded to the authors. Similar compliments to
the other readers and the chairman concluded the
Proceedings. The communications to the society at
the next monthly meeting will include "A Pee 3 at
.Italy from the Tricycle," by Mr. J. B. Marsh.

THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE

At the Westminster Police-court, on Tuesday,
David Mitchell, 53, late butler to Colonel Sterling, of
the Coldstream Guards, residing at 4, South-place,
Rutland-gate, was charged, on remand, with stealing
60 forks, 60 knives, a Queen's Ann salver engraved
by Irogarth, a Jewish lamp from Beyrout, in Asia
Minor, some candlesticks, salt-cellars, and other rare
and valuable plate, the property of the colonel. Mr.
Besley, with Mr. John Attenborough, watched the
case for a pawnbroker, whose conduct had been
strongly animadverted upon by Mr. Partridge when
the prisoner was first charged. On that occasion
Mr. Partridge remarked that Inspector Marshall,
of the B Division, had better look after the case.
and see f proceedings should be taken against a
Pawnbrolt ar who had recklessly taken in stolen pro-
perty with the crest and I-nett° of the prosecutor on
it. Mr. Bosley attempted to excuse the conduct of
Mr. Lockyer, manager to Mrs. Dobree, pawnbroker,
of Gilbert-street, Oxford-street, who had taken in a
large quantity of plate belonging to the prosecutor
with his crest and motto on it, but Mr. Partridge
could not conceal from himself the fact of the gross
carelessness displayed by the manager mentioned,
which was tantamount to receiving stolen property,
and if a warrant were asked for by the police he should
be inclined to grant it. No proper questions had been
put by the pawnbroker, and it was absurd to suppose
that a man with a small house in Montpelier-street
should be in possession of valuable plate like this.
On this charge the prisoner was sent for trial, and
also on another for forging and uttering a forged
document with intent to defraud.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1885-11-28

THE ELECIION.

A crowded meeting was held at the Lye Tem-
perance Hall on Wednesday night in support of Mr.
B. Bingley's candidature. Mr. H. B .Sheridan ac-
cotepanied Mr. Bingley to tha meeting, and both
gentlemen were received with great enthusiasm.
Mr. A. W. Worthington, of Stourbridge, presided,
and in opening the meeting said that Conservatism
meant retrogressi,u, and Liberalism meant the ad-
vancement and progress of the masses. He com-
mented on the advancement made by the working
classes at the Lye, and urged that the interests of
the people lay in 61ving their support to the Liberal
cause.

Mr. Hingley. who was greeted with much cheer-
ing, said the time was near when the electors of
that division would have to decide whether they
would remain faithful to Liberalism or go over to
Toryism. (Cries of "No.") Birmingham had sent
one unbroken line of eight members, and he believed
surrounding constituencies would fol:ow Birming-
ham in returning Libcral members. Fair trade was
one of the cries raised,by the Conservatives at this
election, but the working classes would be rho
sufferers by such a policy, and landlcrds would be
the gait:ere. That was the whole driftcf the matter,
and they were trying to bamboozle the people with
the one object or keeping up their rents. Mr.
Hing:ey said there should be such au adjustment
of :axltion that it should fall upon the shoulders oi
those best able to ber.r it. (A Voice : "Upon Mr.
Iliagle.y's." Laughter.) .11,-; did not object, and
what he said was that taxation should rest upon tho
shout lets of those in the beat position to bear it.
He proceeded to speak on the subject of free educa-
tion, and said he thought if poor people were corn-
peil,d to scud their chi'dren to school, and were
deprived of their services, it was desirable thst the
State should bear the cost. Mr. Willis-Bund a
that free education would increase the rites; but
that was not so, it would not affect the rates on,
penny, as the cost came out of the nations' ex
chequer. He also spoke on the laud question, and
concluded by hoping they would be true to the
Lil eral cause.

Mr. Ii B. Sheridan moved a resolution in favour
of Mr. flingley's candidature.
The r2bolution was seconded by the Rev. Mr.
Pipe, -upported by the Rev. J. Tucker, and carrried

BROMSGROVE.

PRILARMONIC SOCIETY.—The first evening con-
cert for this season of the above society was held at
the Corn Exchange on Wednesday. and was fully
attended, not only by subscribers to the society, but
aleo by the general public, who filled all the avail
able seats. The first part of the concert comprised
Mendelssohn's St Paul, a somewhat difficult work
for a young society to master, but which was
rendered with marked success, notwithstanding
the drawbacks of confined space in a room destitute
of proper acoustical properties. The principal vo-
calists were Mrs. Glover-Eaton, soprano; Miss
Emilie Harris, contralto; Mr. Richard Clarke,
tenor; and Mr. Daniel Harrison, base; and the
chorus numbered about sixty members of the so-
ciety. Mr. J. B. Terbutt conducted most ably, and
Miss A. E. Perkins and Mr. W. H. Eaton at the
piano-forte, and Mr. W. Thorneycroft at the bar-
monium, accompanied vet), efficiently. The second
part comprised selections from the works of Handel,
Bishop, Pinsuti, Rubinstein, Randegger, Dochlet ,
Swinnerton Heap, &c. The society may be con-
grsttulated on scoring a success, in exciting times,
during very Lad weather.

SPORTING NOTES.
'By our Sportinj Correspondent.)
THE LAsr ACT FOR 1885.

This day (Saturday), the last big handicap for
the legitimate season will be decided at Manchester,
although after the decision of the Cambridgeshire
the majority of sportsmen close their books for the
season. However, as the Manchester November
Handicap is worth 1,000 soya. I thought my readers
would like to participate in the last act of the year
1885. At present Kilereene, Florence, and Thebasis
are the chief naediums of speculation, moreover
genuine candidates. Still there are others whose
chances are to be respected, having received lenient
treatment from the handicapper, likewise greatly
fancied by their partisans, therefore in making a
selection, I shall take on my side
PIZARRO and MARMORA
fearing most from Florence. Those of my readers
xho are interested in cross country sport run dur-
ing the winter season—as at Croydon and Sand wu
next week—had better send their aldress to Travel-
ling Correspondent. care of Tissue Office, Hull.

LORD SALISBURY AND THE JEWS.

Mr. Lionel L. Cohen, the Conservative candidate
for North Paddington, forwarded to Lord Salisbury
some observations of Serjeant Simon, commenting on
remarks made by the Prime Minister in 1858, with
reference to the removal of Jewish disabilities, and
censuring Mr. Cohen's attitude with respect to the
maintenance of the union between Church and State,
as also Mr. Cohen's rejoinder. Lord Salisbury has
replied to Mr. Cohen in the following letter:
"Foreign Office, 20th November, 1885.
"Dear Mr. Cohen,—l have received your note and
its enclosure. Serjeant Simon must have been hard
put to it for an argument to have quoted a speech
of mine made nearly thirty years ago, when I was
twenty-eight years of age. I think your answer is
quite complete.
"I knew nothing of the Jews myself in 1858, and
spoke on second-hand information. which was wholly
misleading. I was then as now an earnest supporter
of the Established Church, and I believed that the
Jews would be necessarily hostile to her. I now know
that that is far from being the case, and it is therefore
because I am better informed, and not because I have
in any degree changed my principles of action, that I
am so anxious to see Conservative Jews take their
place in Parliament, where, I am convinced, their aiti
will be of the greatest value in maintaining our insti.
tutions.

"Believe me, yours very truly,
" SALISBURY."
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1885-11-28

THE DECLINE OF WIFE-BEATING.

It is very satisfactory to see from the increasing
severity of the punishments awarded to wife-beaters,
that the British conscience is waking up on the subject.
No longer can a brutal husband confidently reckon on
getting off with a trifling fine. He perceives with
dismay that indulgence in his favourite pastime some-
times results in several months' imprisonment with
hard labour, and he probably reflects that his turn
may come soon. Unluckily for himself, this pre-
vision does not appear to have ever dawned upon the
mind of a threshing machine proprietor at Retford.
Married for only two years, he had systematically
ill-treated his wife throughout the whole period.
But he never went quite so far in brutality as the
other day when "lie knocked her down, and beat
her on the head until she became insensible." When
p:cked up, the poor woman was in a terrible condi-
tion, her face and neck bearing many marks of
having been kicked with heavy boots. A year or two
ago this savagery would probably have received no
worse punishment than a fine of a sovereign or two,
or, at the most, a week's imprisonment. But the
B.etford magistrates have evidently participated in the
general rousing of English consciences on wife-
beating, and they accordingly sentenced the husband
to undergo imprisonment, with hard labour, for six
months, while the wife was granted an order for
judicial separation, with an allowance of 14s. a week
to be paid by her persecutor. A few more sentences
like this, and the wife-beater will become, none too
soon, an obsolete institution.

SERIOUS ATTACK ON A CANDIDATE:

Particulars of a violent attack upon Mr. R. Davies,
the Liberal candidate for Anglesey, were received on
Saturday. While he was addressing a meeting in
Beaumaris Town Hall on the previous night a large
mob attacked the hall. Stones, bottles, and bricks
were hurled through the windows and among the
audience. Mr. Davies, while entering the hall, was
pelted with stones and rotten eggs. The cause of the
animus against Mr. Davies is said to be that he was
promoting the removal of the quarter sessions to
Llangefore. During the meeting large pieces of rock
and trees were placed directly across the road over
which Mr. Davies had to drive home, with the view
of upsetting his carriage. These obstacles were
removed with great difficulty, but from the rocks
overhanging the highway from Beaumaris to Garth
heavy masses of stone were hurled down upon the
carriage, and Mr. Davies states that he narrowly
.escaped with his life.

VESSEL.

A Lloyd's telegram from Blak-eney on
Thursday morning stated that her Majesty's
cruiser Beaver stranded on Blak-eney West
Sands during a heavy fog on Wednesday
evening. The Blakeney lifeboat and coast-
guard proceeded to her assistance. The crew
were landed on Thursday morning. V
The Aurora screw steamer, from Savannah,
struck in going out of West Hartlepool har-
bour on Wednesday night, and filled and
sank in deep water two hours afterwards.
The crew of 26 hands took to three boats,
and drifted about until Thursday morning,
when two of the boats succeeded in reaching
the shore, but one of these had lost three
men through the boat capsizing. The third
boat is still missing.

A TRAIN THROWN INTO THE SEA.

An accident, resulting in injury to six
persons, occurred on the Highland Railway
at Mound. on Thursday. A mixed train.of
eighteen vehicles left Golspie at 4.30 a.m.,
and when nearing Mound Station one of the
leading waggons and fourteen other vehicles
left the rails and went over an embankment
into the sea. The passengers were all
stunned by the concussion, and the water at
this point being between two and three feet
deep all suffered from the immersion. The
Post Office van was much damaged, and a
sorter named Robert Sim was hurt about
the lace and lower parts of the body. Jesse
Ross, the brakesman, John Fraser, commis-
sion agent, of Inverness, two seamen travel-
ling from Wick, and another passenger were
also injured, but none of the cases were
serious, and all the persons mentioned were
able to proceed on their journey in the
course of the day. The cause of the acci-
dent is supposed to have been the snapping
of a wagon axle.
