DEATH OF RR. ROEBUCK.

A Press Association telegram. received last night, states
that Mr. Roebuck, It P., died on Sunday at his London
residence. The right hon. geetlenian had for some time
been suffering front severe iliness. " Men of the Time"
says :—John Arthur Roebuck, maternally descended from
the poet Miceli, was born at Madras in 1802, went to
Canada in boyhood, and left that country in 18114 fur the
purpose of studying law in England. He wee admitted a
bsrristar of the Inner Temple in HMI, and chosen member
for Bath at the first eliction after the Reform Bill. The
character of • tborou4h Reformer, which be won in this
arena, led to his appointment., in 1835, as agent for the
House of Assembly of Lower Canada during the diapute
between the Executive Government and the
goomainge of Amenably. Hr. Roebuck commenced the publi-
cation of • series of political "Pamphlet, for the Peop!e,'
in which, having age. .ed the whole body of political editors,
reporters, and contributors to the press, particularly those of
the me,
- ckeeekge, be became involved in what is called
an affair of honour, and fought • very harmless duel with
the late Mr. Black, the editor of that journal In the
country he was a poirilar favourite, though the plain
speaking he had practised toward. the Whigs, whom he
regarded as false to the cone of progress, lost him his
seat at the general election in August, 1837. He regained
It in June, 1841, but was again defeated at the general
election in August, 1817, and from May, 1,119, till ISM, he
represented Sheffield. Mr Roebuck was a bold and un•
sparing orator, and particularly distinguished himself in
his replies to Mr. Disraeli. la January, 1853, he brought
forward in the House of Onnmons a motion for inquiry
into the conduct of the war, known to history as. ' The
Sebastopol Committee." 'The Aberdeen Government
resisting the inquiry. was beaten, on • division, by •
majority of IM, and compelled to resign. Mr. Roebuck
had no place in the new Cibinet, but acted as chairman
of the committee appointed through his exertion* In
December, 1855, was an unsuccessful candidate for the
Chairmanship of the Metrololitan Board of Works, at a
salary of .C 1,500 standing third on the list at the close of
the poll In 1884 he accepted the Chairmanship of the
Administr,tive Reform Aoociation, from which groat
things were expected, though, at ter publiiihing a luminous
programme, the society become extinct. Mr. Ibiebuck
has written "Plan for G.ivernment of our English
Colonies," published in 1842, and " History of the Whig
Ministry of MO," in 1452, a work of great ability. In
letti he loot his seat at St., Meld in conftepieure of his
denunciation of the tyranoo 1 proceedings of trades
unions but in Ir.{ he was re clocte I at the bead of the
poll. A year ago Mr. Roebuei is. males. Privy Councillor.

LIDEL %%F. MICTW ERN Minisisan —At the Sou' hampton
Iron, Court, H. H. Meadors was charged with
libelling 11. S Earl. Both are ministers, the one of
South derision, the latter of Portswood. E. H. M. wrote •
letter threatening to expose some one, in which he mid—

threats that he would issue a pamphlet, and expose
someone whom he named. During • six hours'
hearing,. Mr Earl's solicitor stated that Mr. Earl two or
three years since established a church at the Philharmonic
Room. He was called an Evangelist ; and, going away to
Palestine for four or flee months, certain ecandals arose
having reference to Meadows, who on being diemissed,
wrote humble letters, promising to go away. Mr. Earl
lent him money LO go. but after going he came back ; set
the ,ngregation by the corn; net up • rival church, and
attacked Mr. Earl's unblemished character ; riots took
place in the streets on Sunday nights. Mr. BrearT being

that it could be obtained from the deacons at a penny

ing the libel they must hear in mind that defendant, all
through his letters. used that high falutin language which
unfortunately was • characteristic of the Americans, and
even the complainant himself, as shown in his evidence,
was, in some measure, given to the same habit —Defen-

Water 'supply is getting more and more an enormous
question. Liverpool proposes to get its water from
Montgomeryshire, at the rate of 13,000,000 gallons a
day, to be increased to 40,000,000 gallons daily, a
quantity which alarmed the Severn Commissioners,
who fear the scheme will interfere with the navigation
of the stream. Perhaps as vexatious an element in
theft matters is the large amount of waste, which in
Dorchester continues to attract attention of the
authorities, though efficient remedies have still to be
found. Could we be satisfied with our own roofs as a
watershed, Mr. Shirley Hibberd says we might all
have enough, without the costly paraphernalia of
wells, pumps, and water-towers. Nor need the trade
Interest represented by the Mayor of Dorchester be
alarmed, for the apparatus for catching water in detail
seems certain to us to give as much occupation to the
plumbers as high pressure pipes and tape. Mr.
Hibberd lets run to waste all the first washings of the
roofs, and only retains the purer water. Wanted,
an experimenter, and some influential people, to set
the example of catching pure rain-water from their
own roofs.

Why should Maiden Newton be obliged to adopt a
new system of drainage. as we heard in the Dorchester
Town Council the other day? Whatever the means
adopted by the Rural Sanitary Authority, they teem
to have been wonderfully successful in improving the
health of the place, at leant so far as that authority on
such matters, the Registrar General's report, can give
US any guidance. The average number of deaths for
the quarters ending in September, during the years
1876-1878 was 27, while in the corresponding quarter
of the present year the number of deaths was only 19, of
which, from that " barometrical " indication as to
sanitary condition, death from symotic disease, there
was absolutely not one. The diminution of eight on the
average 0121 is a really magnificent improvement, and
when to this is added the total absence of fatal zymotic
disease, the Rural Sanitary Authority may be con-
gratulated on their effurtA, and when requested to
consider some other scheme, may laddly ask the reason
why. By contrast with Maiden Newton may be noted
the district of Canford, where, though one would
suppose they had every improvement, the deaths had
Increased in the astounding proportion of seven over
the average of nine for the three previous years, the
number for the September-ending quarter of 1879
being 16 on a population shown as not much above
half that of Maiden Newton, while, worse still for
Comfort', there were two deaths from zymotio disease.
It would be interesting to know the plans adopted for
sanitary matters in Maiden Newton and Canford,
and if, as seemed to be indicated at the Dorchester
Council meeting, the Rev. H. Monies plan is used at
Maiden Newton, the Registrar's returns are no slight
evidence on Its behalf.

drawn the tilling from between the walls through the
joints, and caused a oar.liderable quantity of the pitching

I estimated the cost at the necessary repairs to the

owing to the decay of the bulwarks and other parts, moat
