THE MARKETS,

MARK-LANE.

----
At Mark-lane, business has been wanting in animation,
and the market was not strong. Deliveries of home-grown
produce were certainly not large, but there were libel at
receipts of foreign oats and moderate of other articles.
The sales of home-grown wheat in the leading markets
of England and Wales during the first four weeks of the
season. were 158,171 ors., against 235,923 qrs. last year, tla3
average being 315 10d against 31s 3d per qr. ; barley, 17,719,
against 75,071 qrs., average 27s 5d against 31s id per qr. ;
and oats, 22,745, agthist 31,481, at an average of Its 81
against 19s hi per qr. For English wheat the demand was
quiet at late rates, but with weak tendency. Foreign wh.at
sold slowly and was about the EBlllO in va'ue, but with a
dull tone. Flour was still a dull market, with a weak t, ii-
dency. Fine malting barley met with some attention, and
was steady in value. Inferior and secondary qualities and
gi inding were dull. Oats moved off slowly, inferior
foreign still favouring buyers. Maize was inactive, at
about late rates. Beans were quiet and unaltered. Peas
inactive.

THE DUBLIN COMMERCIAL SCANDALS.

Mr. Patrick M`Cabe Fay has bolted. After being
brought up at the Dublin Police-court last week on
two charges of forgery, he was remanded till Tuesday,
but liberated on bail, himself in £lOOO, and two sure-
ties of £5OO each. At two o'clock, the hour fixed for
the hearing, the Police-court was crowded, but when
the case was called Mr. Fay did not appear, neither
did his sureties, and the usual orders for the issue of
a warrant for his arrest and the estreating of his
sureties' recognisances were issued. It was stated by
Mr. Bradley, solicitor to the Bank of Ireland, that a
large number of bills bad been forged, and that the
amount of money involved has not yet been ascer-
tained. Of Mr. Moloney, the second partner in the
I firm, nothing has been heard.

DISTRESSED BRITISH TROOPS IN

BURNAM

RANGOON, Sept. 28.
Major Meacham, of the 16th Bengal Infantry,
reports from Thabyabin that he is encumbered with
sick, and the enemy are hovering around. A relief
column has been sent from Minhla. Lieutenant-
Colonel Stewart M`lver, of the sth Madras Native
Infantry, died of sunstroke on the march. Bohsh-
way announces that he intends to avoid fighting
the British troops, but will harass them on
their marches. The Hill Shans are still giving
trouble. Lieutenant Gastrell, in a skirmish with them,
captured three gingals. The troops at Yayoo have
had three slight brushes with the enemy, inflicting
some loss on them, and recovering a large quantity of
dacoited property. The Kyemencline Prince's band
has been encountered at Yanoung, and several of his
men were killed. Dacoits attacked Ningyan on the
18th inst., but were repulsed with the loss of five
killed. Four of the people who were injured in the
rush to the relief house at Mandalay have since died.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ABERYSTWYTH OBSERVER,
Sir,—As President for the year of the Merioneth-
shire Agricultural Society, I much regret that my
duties at Westminster prevented my being at the
agricultural show held at Towyn on Friday last, as
I intended at the dinner to have
,briefly expressed
my vi:-.ws on the long.pending agricultural dep-
ression, and the relative position, which—under the
nirnmnStanonsa_ol3.3l,t k. oniQt I.7vb-n-ccu laudlord and
tenant, not only in the Princ!pality, but in all parts
of the United Kingdom, believing, as I do, that
mutual interestisk compound question 1 am not in-
sensible or indifferent to the serious position in
which farmers are placed, and in no small number
of cases the position of thelandlord is:equally serious,
as toe misfortunes of the tenant must sooner or
later become unfortunate for the landlord.

I became the owner of the estate of Ynys-y-maen.
gwyn in the year 1878. I am writing from memory,
but I think I am right in saying that up to the
p;esent time I have not received one and a half per
cent, per annum on the purchase money of that
estate. I he main part of the rent has been expended
in improvements.
I do not profess to be more just or generous than
my neighbour, but if you will allow me, ;I wish
through your medium to avail myself of the
opportunity of stating that, under existing difficult-
ies, I am prepared to hale a meeting with my Welsh
tenants and to assist them in a just and liberal
spirit, either in regard to rents, or any other just
grievances they may have. At the same time I
declare, with courtesy but with firmness, that I
could not submit to the imterference or dictation of
any pofessional agitator. I can only speak for my-
self and to my own tenants, but they are the true
friends of the farmers who tell them
.the honest
truth, and if I may presume to give adv;ce.:to ten-
ants generally, I should say, make in:the first in-
stance a full, true and candid appeal to your land-
lords, and, as a rule, I doubt not you will be fairly
met—but for the love of Heaven do not permit any
professional agitator to convert, hitherto peaceful,
law-abiding, and industrious iWales into pande-
monium of crime, poverty, and misery, such as Ire-
land.—l have the honour to be, sir, your very faith-
ful servant,
JOHN CORBETT.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week
amounted to 15,3-8 head. In the corresponding period last
year we received 15,934; in 1884, 15,48; in 183, 13,0 i ;
in 1682, 21,628 ; in 1881, 13,724; an 1830, 12,E85 • in 1879,

pool were received 885 beasts from Poston, and 804 beasts
and 1637 sheep from Montreal; and at Southampton, c 6
beasts from Jersey and Guernsey, and 50 beasts from
Oporto. The cattle trade has been dull in tcne. Supplies
were ample for all trade requirements and buyers nave con-
tinued to have the advantage. The arrivals of beasts from
our own grazing districts were tolerably good, both in
point of numbers and condition. Dulness characterised the
trade throughout, and prices had a weak tendency. The
best Sots and crosses realised 4s 6d to 4s Ed per Sb.
Foreign beasts were in fair supply and slo request, at
barely late quotations. There was a good show of sheep in
the pens, including a liberal foreign imrortaticn. But ine•
wai very slow, and prices were not maintained without co,—
siderable difficulty. The best Downs and half-breds made

PARALYSED THROUGH VIOLENCE.

Thomas Field, 51, an engine-driver, of Aylesmore-
road, College-park, was charged on a warrant at
Marylebone Police-court, on Saturday, with violently
assaulting Mr. Mark Mortimer Mildred, an architect
and surveyor, of 33, Claremont-road, Willesden,
The prosecutor, who had come into court on crutches,
and was accommodated with a chair while he gave
his evidence, said he was acting as clerk of works
at the premises being erected for the London and
Provincial Steam Laundry Company at Willesden,
where the prisoner was employed to manage Olaf
mill making the mortar. On Monday, the 6th
inst., about ten minutes after two o'clock, prose-
cutor met the foreman of the job, and was in con-
versation with him about the business, when the
prisoner crossed to them and wanted to know, in'
very coarse language, whether he (prosecutor) was
saying that he had been putting burnt ballast into
the mortar-pan, adding that if the prosecutor had
been doing so he would knock him down. He was
told by both prosecutor and by the foreman to go
about his work or go home. The prisoner became very
abusive and struck prosecutor on the mouth, injuring
three of his teeth, and then hit him behind one of
his ears, causing a lump nearly as large as an egg,
afterwards striking him on the eye, blackening it.
When the foreman had turned away to fetch a
policeman the prisoner aimed a dangerous and brutal
kick at the prosecutor, but this was averted by his
turning sharply aside. The kick, however, sent him
reeling against a stack of bricks, and while partially
disabled the prisoner struck him violently about the
loins and the lower part of the back generally. Two
of the workmen lumped down and seized hold of him
and got him off of the premises, in doing which he
tried desperately to throw them and slightly injured
them. Prosecutor was conveyed home, and was in
an absolutely helpless condition for five or six days.
The lower part of his body was partially paralysed,
he believed; anyhow he was now obliged to use
crutches. Previous to the injury he oculd walk well
enough. He was still under the doctor. The prisoner
accused the prosecutor of frequently drinking to
excess. He also said prosecutor had threatened to
get him the "sack "for, as he alleged, his having used
burnt ballast in the mortar. Tha prosecutor said it
was true he spoke to the foreman about the prisoner
nsing burnt ballast in the mortar a fortnight ago, and
it was stopped. He denied the intoxication and bad
language insinuated by the prisoner. The case was
adjourned for the attendance of the doctor, bail being
offered.

THE TESTllauratii, To THE PRINCE

OF WALES:

The Sub-Committee, consisting of Earl Cadogan
(chairman), the Earl of Rosebery, Lord Napier of
Magdala, the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Rose,
Sir Robert G. W. Herbert, with Colonel Sir Owen T.
Borne and Sir Arthur N. Birch (hon. secretaries),
have had laid before them the following letter from
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, addressed
to the chairman:
"My dear Cadogan,—As I understand that you
are chairman of the committee which has been formed
for the purpose of collecting funds for a testimonial
to be presented to me as Executive President of the
Colonial and Indian Exhibition, 1 wish to write and
express to you and the other gentlemen who have so
kindly moved in this matter how deeply I appreciate
the compliment they propose to pay me. I feel, how-
ever, that I cannot accept any personal present, though
I am most sensible of the kind feeling which has
prompted it, but as you are aware that it is suggested
in commemoration of her Majesty's Jubilee year
to establish an 'lmperial Institution' for the
Colonies and India, in the promotion of which I take
the deepest interest, I should be most grateful if the
subscribers would allow the funds collected for my
testimonial to be applied in aid of that object. Should
they kindly do so it will be an ample reward to me
for any services I may have rendered to make the
Exhibition of IRB6 a success.—Believe me, my dear
Cadogan, very sincerely yours, ALBERT EDWARD P."
Whereupon the following resolution was proposed
and unanimously adopted
That, in view of the setter addressed by his Royal
Highness, the Executive President, to the chairman of
this committee, in which his Royal Highness, while
conveying his grateful appreciation of the proposed
testimonial to himself, expresses the wish that it may
not take such a form, but that any funds collected
may be applied towards the Imperial Institution which
it is intended to found to commemorate the Jubilee
year of her Majesty's reign. Resolved therefore :
"That the committee, believing it to be the wish
of the subscribers to evince their high sense of his
Royal Highness's great services in the manner
most accTtable to himself, acquiesce in the sugges-
tion contained in his letter. They desire, at the same
time, to record what they are assured will be the
unanimous feeling of all the donors, that the steps
thus taken by his Royal Highness will, if possible,
add to the appreciation enter'ained of his disinterested
and public-spirited efforts, not only on behalf of an
Exhibition from which many millions of her Majesty's
subjects have already derived so much advantage, but
to further a project which will at once be a graceful
memorial of her Majesty's long and happy reign, and
conduce to the permanent consolidation of the
Empire. It was further resolved : "That the chair-
man report the foregoing proceedings for the ap-
proval of the full committee and the subscribers."

MORE FRENCH SEIZURES OF ENGLISH

SMACKS.

Two English fishing smacks, the Queen, of Shore-
ham, and the Inca, of Jersey, were taken into the
port of Havre on Saturday night by a French Garde
Peche. The smacks are accused of having violated
the Fishery Convention of 1843, by having under-
sized oysters on board. They had just received on
board about 48,000 oysters from a fleet of 16 small
smacks, and were about to convey them to England.
It was about midnight, when the French Garde l'tche
appeared ca the scene, and sent an armed boat's
crew to haul over the smacks and to examine
the oysters. A certain proportion being found to
be undersized, the smacks were taken charge of; the
masters of the two fishing boats were removed to the
French cutter, put in irons, and brought to Havre at
the same time as their vessels. Sworn evidence will
be taken and sent to England, where the trial of the
captains must take place; and as soon as this evidence
has been sworn the boats will be released. The
oysters will be sorted, and those of a proper size will
be allowed to be conveyed to England. The oysters
were dredged by the sixteen little smacks in free
waters. There seems to be no doubt but that the
smacks committed a contravention of the Fishing
Convention; but the French authorities will find it
very difficult to justify the two masters having been
put into irons.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?

What mean these strong and impressive letters? Why
do people write them to men who are comparative
strangers? They have no interest in the welfare of our
business. They can gain nothing by sending us such
flattering testimonials. Then why do they write them?
The fact is, they know that Seigel's Syrup is worthy of the
community; they themselves have been relieved of pain,
suffering and disease, and they are anxious that others
who may be suffering may find relief as they have done.
They have a friendly feeling for their kind, and they have
sent us these letters from a:sense of duty to suffering
humanity, pointing out the way of escape from pain
and disease. It means that Seigel's Syrup has merit
awl that it does good to our race afflicted witla disease.

WAGGON WHEEL AND ITS WOMEN:

Idaho territory lies very far west indeed, and there
is an alarming scarcity there of women. This has
been curiously illustrated of late, according to the
Dalin, Mail, in the town of Waggon Wheel. Re-
cently two young ladies travelled to that remote
region to attend to their dying brother. The poor
fellow did not long require their services, and imme-
diately after his death the sisters prepared to return
home. Before, however, they could get away nearly
the whole population of the town—headed by the
mayor and other high officials—were making matri-
monial overtures to them. Feeling ran very high
during five or six anxious days, and the mayor's
chances, despite his mature years, ruled the betting
at six to one. At the end of the week both young
ladies had capitulated, and were duly engaged. The
mayor was, however, cut out by a handsome young
miner. The wedding day was fixed, and the mother
of the young ladies was summoned upon the scene.
She duly arrived, and was hotly, indignant with her
daughters for the scant respect which they manifested
towards their brother's memory by such indecent
haste to wed. The girls explained that they had
literally been besieged, and had yielded to the over-
whelming force of circumstances. As usual, explana-
tions increased the offence, and the mother vowed that
neither of them should be married out there at all—
that, in fact, the engagements were " off " and that
they must be off too. The cup of felicity was thus
rudely dashed from the lips of the two accepted men,
and they made haste to tell their sorrows to the town.
An indignation meeting was held, and the mayor ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the irate matron in
order to ask her to rconsider her resolution. The mayor,
with rare magnanimity considering the cruel blow his
own own hopes had just received, placed himself at
the head of the deputation, and in the name of
patriotism humbly implored the good lady to grant
the petition which he ardently urged. She, however,
stood firmly on her parental rights, and declared she
would not leave the town without her daughters.
Then the genius of the mayor shone forth like the
sun. He blandly proposed a compromise. Why need
she leave at all P He drew her attention, of course in
more delicate terms, to the fact that she was fair, fat,
and fifty odd, and that similar language might be
taken as descriptive of himself. There and then he
offered her his hand and heart, and the young ladies
a kind father and protector. That settled the matter,
and three marriages have just come off with a great
flourish of trumpets at Waggon Wheel.

TANY TIMES WISHED MYSELF DEAD."
VI "92, St. John's-wood-terrace, London, N W.
I am thankful to Providence for the wonder-
ful cure your Blood Mixture has effected on me.
I was surprised, after taking half the first bottle.
how well I felt ; and after I had taken one large
bottle the wounds on my legs healed. I only
wish I had tried the Mixture before. I should
have saved five years of continued suffering. I
used to feel all the changes of the atmosphere
in my bones, but that is entirely gone ; in fact,
1 feel like a new man. I began to think I
should never get well, for I had attended St.
Mary's Hospital and Welbeck-street Dispen-
sary, under Dr. Norman, Dr. Adam Clark, Dr.
Allchin, Head Physician to Westminster Hos-
pital, and several eminent doctors. My suffer-
ing was simply horrible, and I have many times
wished myself dead. After taking the mixture
for ten days people that knew me were as-
tonished at my appearance. I have taken just
two 11s bottles of your Blood Mixture, and
they have effected this wonderful cure.
"All that I can say to those who suffer is,
try it, it will recommend itself.—l am, yours

Holloway's Pills.—No Mystery.--Whenever the blood
is impure or the general health is impaired the hums9a
body is predisposed to attacks of any prevailing epidemic.
The first inctications of faulty action, the first sensations
of deranged or diminished power, should be rectified by
these purifying Pills, which will cleanse all corrupt and
reduce all erring functions to order. These PiLs
counteract the subtle poisons in decaying animal veget-
able matter, and remove all tendency to bowel complaints,
biliousness, and a host of annoying symptoms arising
from foul stomachs. Th. fruit season is especiay prone
' to produce irritation of the 13..we1s and disorders of th_
digestive org,..ns ; both f which dangerous conditions
can be complettly removed by Holloway's corrective
medicines,

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

The Lord Chancellor, pursuant to Her Majestys'
command, delivered Her Majesty's Speech as follows:
"My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
"I am glad to be able to release you from your
arduous duties.

"My relations with foreign Powers continue to be
friendly.
"The mutiny of a portion of the Bulgarian Army
has led to the abdication of Prince Alexander. A
Regency has been established, which is now ad-
ministering the affairs of the principality, and pre.
parations are being made for the election of his suc-
cessor, in accordance with the provisions of the
Treaty of Berlin.
"In answer to a communication addressed by the
Porte to the Signatory Powers, parties to that
Treaty, I have stated that, so far as this country is
concerned, there will be Do infraction of the con-
ditions guaranteed by treaties to Bulgaria. Assur-
ances to the same effect have been given by other
Powers.

"The demarcation of the Afghan frontier has
advanced to within a few miles of the Oxus. In
view of the approach of winter, my Commission has
been withdrawn; but the information which they have
obtained will be sufficient for the determination, by
direct negotiation between the two Courts, of the por-
tion of frontier which still remains unmarked.

,
_
" GENTLEMEN OF TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
"I thank you for:the supplies which you have voted
for the requirements of the public service.

"My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
"I have directed the issue of a Commission to in-
quire into the circumstances which appear to have
prevented the anticipated operation of recent Acts
dotaiug" with the tenure and purchase of land in
Ireland.
"I have cbserved with much satisfaction the
interest which in an increasing degree is evinced by
the people of this country in the welfare of their
colonial and Indian fellow-subjects; and I am led to
the conviction that there is on all sides a growing de-
sire to draw closer in every practicable way the bonds
which unite the various portions of the Empire. I
have authorized communications to be entered into
with the principal colonial Governments with a view
to the fuller consideration of matters of common
interest.

"I pray that the blessing of Almighty Goi may be
with you.*
Then the Commission for proroguing Parliament
was read, after which

The Lord Chancellor said,—My Lords and Gentle-
men,—By virtue of her Majesty's Commission under
the Great Seal, to us and to other Lords directed, and
now read, we do in her Majesty's name, and in obedi-
ence to her commands, prorogue this Parliament until
Thursday, the 11th of November next, to be then here
holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued
to Thursday, the 11th of November next.
There were only two peers, in addition to the Royal
Commissioners, present at the ceremony; but it was
attended by a large number of ladies, who occupied
seats on the peers' benches and in the strangers'
gallery.
In the House of Commons the session was brought
to a close with the usual formalities.
