At a meeting of the Bradford Liberal Registra-
tion Association, held last night, it was resolved to invite
Mr. E. Miall to come forward as a candidate for the repre-
sentation of the town, as the successor of the late Mr.
Wickham.

" S. G. 0." has written a sarcastic letter to the
Ti ma with regard to the Pan• Anglican Synod. Notwith-
standing the "histrionic solemnity" with which it has been
sought to invest the proceedings, the decisions arrived at
can, he contends, have no real authority ; and the effect
will be to widen " the breach between the laity, who will
not be priesti-idden, and that portion of the clergy and
their followers who are so bent on restoring priest power."
In concluding, the writer says he is satisfied that this
strange assembly is viewed with suspicion by many of the
soundest of the English bench, though it has been powerless
to prevent it.

Archbishop Manning has addressed a pastoral
letter to his clergy, which has been published by Messrs.
Longman, under the title of " The Centenary of Saint
Peter and the General Council."

Mrs. Alfred Mellon will be the future directress
at the Adelphi Theatre.

A huge sewage reservoir is now being formed on
the 3ludlands close to the platform in Southampton,
where the oyster beds need to be. Enormous pipes as
large as the funnels of gig:nide steamers will be connected
with the reservoir, so as to convey the sewage far out into
the stream at high water.

The tin mines in Cornwall have been worked for
3,000 years. They are now yielding 3,500 tons par annum.
The Spanish tin mines have been known nearly as long as
the Cornish ones. Tin was lint discovered in Bohemia
and Meissen in the 12th century. There are tin mines in
Saxony, France, Sweden, and Siberia ; also in Peru, Chili,
Bolivia, and Mexico. Those in Mexico avid South Ame-
rica were at work at the time of Cortez's invasion. The
United States imported tin to the value of nearly 6,000,000
dollars in 1860. It chiefly came from the Malay peninsula.
SWEARING IN OF THE New SHISREFFS.—(THIR
Dar.)—This morning Mr. Alderman Stone and Mr.
William M'Arthur, recently elected sheriffs of London
and Middlesex for the ensuing year, assumed the duties of
the office, succeeding in that respect Sir Alderman Water-
low and Sir Francis Lycett. The ceremony took place in
the Guildhall before the Lord Mayor (Sir Thomas Gabriel),
the members of the Court of Aldermen, and the principal
officers of the corporation, all of them wearing their civic
robes.

THE LATE ELECTION FOR rIIRMINGHAM.—Ex-

CLOSE OF INERLY GARDENS.—After an existence
of something more than a quarter of • century these gar-
dens ceased to exist on Saturday, the 28th of September,
when Mr. Archibald Hinton, who bad been the proprietor
for the last nine years, took his benefit. This once very
popular place of suburban recreation is to he built over
and converted into villa residences. Anerly Gardens rose
into popularity on the decline and fall of the once cele-
brated Beulah Spa at Norwood.—Zeci.
POPULAR SUPERSTITION IN IRELAND.—A singu-
lar instance of popular superstition occurred • few days
rinse at Meyross, in the west of the county of Cork,
and had wellnigh been attended with serious conse-
quences. The body of an American captain, whose vessel
had been wrecked on the mast, was recently washed
ashore and buried in the Meyross churchyard. His friends
however, desired to remove the reinains to the United I
State., and proceeded to disinter them for that purpose.
The peasantry have a traditional belief that the removal
of a body which has been for some time buried causes ex-
traordinary mortalityin the locality for the next 12 mouths,
and they therefore regard such a proceeding with horror.
When the party came to exhume the remains they found
an unexpected opposition, which every effort failed to
overcome. The people, filled with excitement, rushed to
the graveyard armed with every weapon upon which they
could lay hands, and drove the strangers forcibly away.
The pariah priest interfered and attempted to persuade
theta that their alarm was groundless, but they would not
listen to him, and they persisted in refusing to let the
grave be disturbed. So bent are they upon preventing it
that they have sentinels watching day and night lest the
object should be effected by surprise. On the other hand,
the friends of the deceased have not abandoned their M-
I tention, but threaten to call in the aid of the military to
enforce their right. _ _

A TRAGEDY.—An extraordinary tragedy has
just taken place at Jonaiees (Mane). A young woman
named Arsine Griset had been seduced by • farm servant,
named Robin. of the same village, who, however,' resolved
to repair his fault, and meeting her brother at • fete in
in the neighbourhood asked her in marriage. This was
the first intimation the Iststmamed had received of his
'liter's fault. He returned home during the night, took
• gun, and ordered her to get up and follow him, flaying
that he mount to kill her and himself after. The father
endeavoured to calm the son, but the latter pointed the
arm at hint and compelled him to retire. The young
woman, overcome with terror at the menaces of her
brother, followed him to a distance from the house, when
he discharged the gun into her breast, killing her on the
spot, and then blew out his own brains.
