SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE REV. J. a

BRTMKR.

We regret to announce that a very dreadful &oddest
occurred to the Rev. J. G. Brymer, rector of Child.
Okelord, and brother to the Member for this Borough,
on Monday list.
From what we have been able to gather it would
seem the rev. gentleman was out driving, when his
hone !took fright, the carriage was upset, and Mr.
Brymer was thrown out. The trap fell upon his leg,
which was broken off just at the sac!..Medical
assistance eras procured, and the opinion was tt at it
wasa eery serious owe, and in all probability ampu-
tation would have to be effected—if nothing even
worse resulted.

From telegraphic enquiries we made to-day (Mon-
day) we learn the rev.
_gentleman is no worse. and had
pared a better night kat night, but he is not yet out
of danger. Our oorrespondent does not say whether
or not the foot was amnutated.

AN EXPLANATION:.

Os Saturday at the -coraz-di-Lifaha the Rev.
William Hooper, rector of Chilfrome, applied to Mr.
Alderman Knight for perMiNdoll to make • statement
with regard to • cow he weld, and which was oohed by
the inspectors of the market. He said his name had
been brought before the Court on Friday last in con.
section with some bad meat, and his Worship was
kind enough to say he wished he (Mr. Hooper) was
present to explain what connection he had with the
matter. He would have beau present had he known
his attendance wee desired. Tha facts were that in
the month of Aprll last he purchased at scoot of L"24
• perfectly healthy cow, of the Guernsey breed and
four year's old. She had not been long in his posses-
sion before he discovered she hada fault which would for
the future render her virtually unsuitable as &dairy cow.
On the leth of August he discovered a swelling on her
side which he could not account for, seeing_ she
appaaredi..ing the
health and fed as usuaL He at
o e service. of the only cow doctor
r:ils engaged
circuit of eight miles, and be pronounced her
to be what be called "bell or fell broken." By that
he understood him to mean the swelling ln her side
was the result of an internal rupture. He asked him
if he saw any cause why the fifth of the animal,
U slaughtered at once, should not be fit for sale as
food, acid be said "None whatever," In fact, It ought
to realise a fair amount in proportion to its weight.
His next step was to communicate, through his
servant, with • butcher named Dowle, who, being
fully aware of all the facts, offered to take the cow
ranittve him what be could for her. Bhe was then
and his fret enquiry of Dowle was whether he
felt eatiefied the meat was pernfsctly good and whole-
some and fit for food. He asaured him it was quite
but the small amount of flesh, peculiar to
good, but
animals, did not justify him in this came in
offering any mons than 40e., and hei wee then in his hands
to a certain extant, and with no desire for further
trouble in the matter be allowed him to have it on his
own terms. Mr. Alderman Knight said he (the Rev.
W. Hooper) had thought it right to make that state-
ment, and he had done so. He (the Alderman) wee
not called upon to make any comment on it, nor
should he do so; but the Press, with its usual impa
ality, would doubtless give publicity to it. The rev.
gentleman thanked his Worship and retired.

THZ EASTERN QUESTION.

A telegram from the Daily News opecial correspon-
dent in Simla states that the Amore makes no sign.
He has, however, greatly strengthened the Khyber
Wtand it is stated that the Afghans are practis-
.% heavy guns in the Pam. All padfic hopes
are ended. The proposed rise of All Mnsjid has
been abandoned, and the e of a
combined advance early in NovemberPWr• adhered
to. Preparations are being vigorously carried on and
many additional reigmenta have been ordered for
Denim.
. .

Berlin correspondent says there is considerable
discussion in the Russian Pram upon the question
whether Russia ought to wrist the Ameer in the
coming conflict with this country. Tits extreme anti.
English view is, that it would be pusillanimous for
bet to abandon • friend who had got into trouble for
her sake.
We learn from Constantinople that General Skobe•
leff declines to evacuate Burgas and Birk Haire, and
that the Russian Ambanedor hail represented to the
Porte the necessity of @topping the evacuation on
account of the massacre of C.ristians on the depar-
ture of the troops. It is said that Sir Henry Layard
has only been able to discover a few isolated cams, and
that these were committed by brigands.

remarks suitable to the occasion. On Tuesday the
