BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

The following circular from the Guardians of the
Poor of Northampton, and • similar letter from the
Guardians of Swansea, was read at the meeting of the
Board on Friday 14'4, viz.

"That the various B tards of Guardians throughout the
country be asked to co-operate with this Board (North.
ampton) In their endeavours to obtain a change in the
mode of voting at elections 04 Guadiana. That in view
of the objection to the present mods of taking the poll at
the election of Guardians, this Board requeet the L cal
Government Board to take stepe to abolish the stem of
voting now in use, and to adopt the ballot in lieu thereof."

•
The Rev. 0. J. Gime moved "That this (Wan. I
borne) Board join Swansea and Northampton in their
petition to the Local Government Board to introduce
the ballot eystem in the e'ection of Guardians."
This woe seconded by Mr. ELCOCK, who said that
his reason for supporting the proposal was that if the
ballot system became the method by which Guardians
were elected, then people would vote fearlessly. And
further that it would obviate the possibility of defeated
candidates boycotting persona who did not vote their
way, as be knew that a good deal of boycotti g had
recently been practised in Witaborne.
Mr. 131.Tirr, of Witchampton, mural as an amend.
meet "That the pressent mode of election be con.
tinned."
This woe seconded by Mr. Weirrur., of Didlington,
and supported by Mr. Ifoxaa, of Hemsworth.
These voted for the amendment—Messrs. Homer,
Meik e, Burt, Laing, Whittle, and Newman. Against
the amendment, and for the original motion, there
voted—The Revs. C. J. Glyn and T. Patsy, Messrs.
Dibben, Ellis, and Eloock. The Chairman (('. J.
I Parke, Esq.,) and also Mr. Raymond did not vote,
I so that at least for the prefect Wirnborne is not ready
for "reform."

regard to there being no leadsmen in the chains before the
disaster, he submitted that even if the exam, letter of the

CUMIN= OF ALL PARISH MERINOS.
To the Editor.

Sir—Doubtless many of your readers are already
wprieni of the rumour respectiag the recent cams of
closing the " poll " of the parish by the chairman of
the meeting, Mr. C. H. W. Parkinson. The rumour
says :--The cue is oonclitilo.l, and that the decision is
against the chairman, who will be held responsible for
all goats ~f the case. Now, Mr. E litor, if I may be
allowed in your columns to etprere an opinion on the
subject, I would say I believe that both Mr. B. and
Mr. P. were doing (at the time) to the best of their
ability, whst they each considered to be to the advan-
tage of the whole paiish, although quite from different
standpoints. And if such really was the case will not
those Englishmen (whose views were upheld by the
(Thurman) be lingliahruen still, and stand by him, and
be quite es heady, willing, and able to help hear the
costs as they were to liiiten to him on that eventful
Saturday evening, when be declared to them, from the
window of the Oddfell ma' Hall, Mr. C. Ellis and Mr.
B. .1. Kerridge to be the churchwardens for the ensuing
twelve months.
As it is • parish affair, I consider it would be both
unfair and unjust not to tako the matter up promptly
and earnestly, so as to clear Mr. C. H. W. P. from all
lose and responsibility connected with the decision of
the Court.

In conclneion, I woild say to All chairmen of parish
meetings —Beware ! w are ! ! Beware I ! I
&teeming both of the gentlemen involved in the
oue, I am, lit, yours &c..

Miss Detemotts was the fourth daughter of the late

!MUSS 01 COMMONS.

THURSDAY.

In the House of Commons Mr. Trevslyan informed Lord
Lynsington that the reports current witk respect to the
arrival in the United States of workhouse inmates who
had been wasted to eilliernte were greatly exagerrat-d.
The rig ht hon. gentleman supported this stetement by
several particulars. Lord Elm ml Fitsm marine, answer-
ing Mr. Certwright, said the reports of the outbreak of
cholera at Damietta wore confirmed by information
received at the Foreign Office. Mr. lienesge, OD rising
to ask the Premier whether the time bad not come for
tame Tuesdays, Wednesdays. and Fridays for Govern-
ment measures, was loudly cheered. In reply to this,
and a succession of questions on the same subject
showered upon him, the Premier said the Government
had arrived at the conclusion that it would be desirable
to take Tuogdays, and he would make • motion accord-
ingly on Monday. But in view of the urgency and
ttnanrtence of Mr. Chaplin' melon for Tuesday week,
with reference to the importation of foreign cattle, be
would exc:pt that evening, an announcement received
with cheers from the Conservative side. He further
intimated that the Government were very willing to
' accept the full time suggeet:d if it were given by
the Heesi with goodwill. The Government Bills
before the House were not ol a party character, and he
thought they might be inclined to give Ministers the
remaining time But be was not &epee& to take it by
the action of • mere majority. Sir Stafford Northcota,
without rising any opinion se to the convenience of the
propmed arrangement, intimated that when the sugges-
tion was put in regular form by the Premier the Home
would deers definite information as to the order in wliMit
measures would be taken up, more especially the Tenants'
Compensaton BOIL. Mr. Gladst ins observed that he had
already stated what measures it was intended to prose
upon the acceptance of the floss,. In reply to a question
from Mr. Newdegate, the right hon, gentleman said the
Ballot Bill would not be taken till after the Codrupt
Practices Bill was through Committee. Sir W. Herrcour
explained that by an omission on his part the Scotch
Minister Bill did not appear upon the piper, but both the
Bill and the speech were ready. The knuse went into
Committee on the Army Sitimater, and, with an attend-
ance avetaging from seven to fifteen members, voted over
two millions of money. The done, the C ironsittee, with-
out reporting progress, took up the Navy Estimator, with
which some progress wag made before the House resumed

Coastguald•

To At Editor.
Sir,—l was greatly sarptieed to see a paragraph in
the Echo of last Satuniay referring to the Trinity
Band, and which is likely to crest' a wrong impression
with the public. It misstated that the band nvirched
to • publichouse, played several piece., and were sup-
plied with drink. I should be pleased If the oorres-
pondent would kindly note the following facts:—
lit. The band played the winning crew op
Thornas-street and down the Trout.
_ .

2od. No public:house was entered.
3rd. No Intoxicating drinks were had or offered to I
them.
4th. Although it is a temperance band as far as
most of its members are concerned, it belongs to no
temperance society as a banrl, neither does it require I
its members to be total abstainers.

BILIDPORT„

hiergoaotooloac.—A storm of almost unpreog.
dented violence in this district prevailed over Brid-
port and neighbourhood n Friday evening, lasting
more or lees for five or six bouts. The day had been
singularly oppressive by reason of the atmosphere being
charged with electric vapours, and towards evening
the a*.nimphere was so Impregnated with electricity,
that it was evident a battle of the elements would soon
ensue. Between ?and 8 p.m. dark and ominous clouds
were feat rolling up from the south-west, forming at the
south and aouth-met dense sable masses, and
leaving the western horizon clear sod distiinct with all
the neutral tints which form and constitute "e beauti-
ful sunset." Soon came a few faint flashes of lightning,
followed by • distant rumbling of thunder, and
gradually the battle vectored nearer, until the whole
power of the storm was expended over the town hard.
A drenching rain prevail. I for nearly an hour, diversi-
fied by some of the most civil forked-lightning
witnessed here during the last 20 years. The deafen-
ing "claps" of thunder immediately following the light-
ning proved bow near the earth were theexpl osion., and
one peal of thunder WM no terrific that many house' in
the town were felt to vibrate. Gradually thestorm passed
away to the Beat, and from thence to the North-Best
and North. Some damage ie reported in the district.
At Eype (Bymondsbury) • chimney was struck by the
lightning and thrown down, t erether with a portion of
one end of the building. One of the telephone poles
connecting the wire from Messrs. Gundry's work. with
FIMOre factory was struck, and a large piece split out
out. At the base of the pole the herbage was cut
down and blackened as if with the action of the hot
knife. One of the fine old tress on Lady Oglauder's
estate is stated to have been thrown down, and several
m ire in the vicinity, we hear, have shared a similar
fate.

SHOCKING OCCURRMX AT DERBY.

A shocking occurrence took pleas at Derby on
Tuesday morning, the well-kuuwo 111.1.1011 UL of the
Midlaud Counties' EMALUILItIIit Jackson, having shut
his wile, L J tannah ackeon, who resided with him at •
small villa on the Barton-road, in Derby, and after-
wards attempted to commit suicide. Tile cause of the
occurrence is as yet enveloped in mystery. On the pre-
vious day Jackson ascended in his large balloon, The
lkivehing Star, from Use grounds of the Derby Aruor-
OUILII. the occasion being the annual festival of that
resort, at which about 20,000 theism attended. The
ascent took plme snout the usual hour,
Jackson beiug
accompanied by his daughter and a young gentleman.
Soon suer the helloes had ascended & dreadful thunder-
star:a came on, and Jackson thought it desirable to
iesoend with his balloou as goon as lie poasibly could.
This he did at • tirce near ktickleilown and returned
will his balloon the same night, 11,, area all
at that tune, and went to bed. He did not, rime until 11
o'clock on Tuesday morning. On coming downstairs,
however, 110 Deemed in rather a carious state of iniudi,
but did nothiug to excite either him wife's or daughter's
suspicion. The hitter saw her father kiss Mrs. Jack-
eon, who went about her work in the house.
whilst her
father went into the sittliscrooin, Sons. time after-
wards. whilst engaged in her work in the kitchen, the
daughter heard two slight reports, but attributed them
tu her father clapping his hands, which he did at times
when he was pleased or excited. She therefore took
no notice, but WWI considerable time afterward., a.
she coul I not hear either of them ab•iut, she prococied
to the 'Want-room, where she loon I her father lying
on • °ouch with • bullet wound in hie head, lie we*
quite unconscious. She then vreiit int., the panda
fronting the public street, where she fowl I ber hid her
lyilig dead across some chairs from a simllar hoLet
woun.l in the head. The p dice and medical gentle-
men were at OOP summoned to the spot, and the
I latter at once declared that Mrs. Jackson hod n shot
dead instantaneously, whilst the wound that Jack--n
was suffering from was almost hoteless u regaid a hie
ultimate recovery. No reason can be aciignel 1,,r the
sad deed. The parties had always lived on the created
terms of endearment. The affair hls created quite a
senuUon in the town and neighbourhood, Jackion
teing so very well-known.

Thursday afternoon, the Vicar preaiOint, to take into
conelderation the unsatisfactory and unsafe cusdition
of the tower of the Abbey. The rivo:t of Messrs.
Carpenter and Ingelow was read, and it appeared
from it that several portions of the tower must be taken
down and rebuilt, but 113 estimate of the cost could be
given until the outer walls had been examined, and
this would entail the expanse of the erection of a
scaffold. A long discussion ensued, and it warn deter-
mined to refer the matter to a committee, who were
directed to obtain an approximate estimate of the
whole coat and to report to an adj milted vestry. It
was thought that the country generally would support
the desired obj..ct by subscriptions. The usual led.
rate was granted to the Jhurchwavdens.

received at the Coastguard Station here (a goodly noes.
her.) The offic,r,thinking there we. a mistake,etamined
them and locked them up. 11. he knew Dot by whom
they were sent, or who they were for. A few daye
afterwards a letter came to hand, which showed that
• gentleman in Kent out of his goodness, wishing to
do good as well as to edify the mea in the ooastguard,
had in view the idea of sending a library to every
station. This will be • great benefit, a. most of the
men have families, and the books are of such a deecrip•
tion that children, as well as parents, will find some.
thing to improve as well as please tile mind, and no
doubt will, in many cases, be blghly acceptable, and
the outcome good.
