only seek that the hard and reckless shipowner (of whom
there are some) shall be made to take the same care of
the lives of his men as is now taken by every respectable
shipowner. Our seamen have many friends in Parliament,
but few who are specially authorised to demand justice for
them, and you now have the opportunity of giving that
enormous sanction to their reasonable claims, which can
only e given by the voters of the largest maritime
constituency in England. and therefore in the world. As
to my opinions on general politics. I am and have been a
steady supporter of Mr. Gladstone's Government
Orr -DOOR Muir. —Dr. Kenny (wh) was sent by the
Mansion House Relief Committee to report on the fever
exiting in the West of Ireland), alleges that boards of
guardians in the distressed districts almost entirely refuse
out-door relief, and points out the misery caused by this
refusal and the effect it has in spreading the disease. In
many districts suffering from fever, the only sustenance
' is Indian meal. A change of dietary "ii here a matter of
life or death," yet the guardians will do nothing for them,
and the relief committees cannot afford to supply any
better nourishment.
It is useful to know the derivation of words; both
" Cocoa " and " Chocolate " are of Mexican origin.
The word " Chocolate " is derived from " Chocolat',"
the sound produced by the primitive stones, used to
bruise and mix the Cocoa with sugar; whereas
" Cocoa " is the name under which the unadulterated
beans of the " Theobroma Cacao" of Linncous are
Imported Into England. Those who wish for Cocoa

HOW THU' CARRY CHURCH RATES IN HOUTHWARIL—At
St. Saviour's Southwark, on Saturday afternoon, the
Chairman said it would be necessary to make ante of IZol.
in the pound, and it was moved that the rate should be
lid. —Mr. Stafford coaderuned the rate as unfair to
Nonconformists, and Mr. Dunn hoped the meeting would
refuse to make the rate, and thus throw upon the Bishop
of Rochester the responsibility which rightly belonged to
the Church party of meeting liabilities which Dissenters
were now wrongly asked to pay. (Cheers.)—Mr. Fielding
wished to move an amendment, but was ruled out of
order, lie vehemently claimed his right to move an
amendment, and did. in fact, move several, one being to
the effect the churchwardens of St. Saviour's should
proceed to collect funds for the church In a voluntary
manner, and the Chairman determinedly maintained that
he could take no amendment. This went on for some
minutes—the whole meeting being by this time greatly
excited—when the Chairman at last put the motion for
the rate. —Mr. Fielding jumped on the table and claimed
to move an amendment. There were numerous cries of
"Knock him down," and "Turn his ent," and in the midst
of the uproar the Chairman declared the rate carried
unanimously.—A gentleman advanced to Mr. Fielding;
others were seen gesticulating violently at each other,
and in numerous instances were only restrained from
actual violence by the efforts of friends. The appearance
of • policeman in the room tended slightly to pacify
matters.—The chairman refused to grant • poll. Legal
advice is to be sought.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSAULT ON • CLEROYMAX—At the
Ottery St. Mary (Devonshire) Petty Session, on Thursday,
Wm. Arthur Hoare Smith, a young gentleman residing at
Whimple, was summoned for an assault upon the Rev.
W. B. Gurney, curate of that parish, on the 15th July last.
It appears that the defendant was formerly engaged on the
Royal farms at Windsor, and at that time held •
commission in a militia rrisent A few weeks since he
returned with his wife to Whimple, where his father and
mother mid.. On Sunday, July Ilth, they attended
divine service at the parish church, and the complainant,
who was the preacher, selected as his text the well known
mirage, "The wages of sin is death." In the course of
his remarks, Mr. Gurney dwelt on the sins of immorality,
unchastity, drunkenness, and so on. A day or two
afterwards the defendant called at the complainant's
lodgings, complained of the sermon, and left a message to
the effect that he should take the first opportunity of
horse-whipping the curate. Ultimately the parties met
In the highroad, and, after the defendant had accused Mr.
Gurney of having preached the sermon in question " at'
him, he boxed the complainant's ears, and finally gave
hima,oundbeatingwithadogwhlp. The curate did not
return any of the blows, but seined Mr. Smith by the ear,
and they had to be separated by some persons who had
witnessed the fracas. The summons was withdrawn by
the consent of the bench, on the understanding that the
defendant would tender • full apology, would pay the
costs incurred, and contribute the sum of £25 to the
Devon and Exeter Hospital.

WARN' NO I ELM ITT'S PARIS BLUR. The marked
superiority of this laundry blue ever all others, and the
quick appreciation of its merits by the public, have been
attended by the usual results, viz, • flood of imitations;

exerted, not simply in imitating the square shape, but
tasking the general appearance of the wrappers resemble
that of the genuine article. The inanufacturers beg
therefore to caution all buyers to see " Reckitt's Paris

Blue" on each packet.
