Ern,—ln your excellent report of the Royal
Agricultural Show you omit to state that Messrs. Fowler
were the only competitors in the class of steam ploughs
for large occupations. In consequence of our not being
able to complete our engines in tame, we could not put in
an appearance. The only class we did compete in was
that for occupations of moderate size, in which we won
the first prize. We make this explanation, as your readers
would naturally conclude from your report that our new
doable engines had been worsted in the encounter.—We
are, &c., JAMES and FREDERICK HOWARD.

ARBITRATION IN TRADE DISPUTES.—An im-
portant step has been taken at Leeds in respect to settling
trade disputes by arbitration. A difference having arisen
between the masters and the operative carpenters and
joiners of that town, on a question of the hours of labour
and the rate of wages, the very 'enable coune was
adopted of referring the questions in dispute to an arbi-
trator. Mr. Rupert Kettle, county-court judge, who has
organised a system of courts of arbitration at Wolver-
hampton and Coventry, was chosen, and he heard the two
ides on Friday. The result was a compromise. Inci-
dentally, this was the means of bringing about another
sensible decision. The trade agreed to th,e establishment
of a court of arbitration to decide any dispute that may
arise during the nett two years.
BIZ BOYS DROWNED WHILE BATHING. On
Friday, six boys met with their death by being drowned
whilst bathing at Prestatyn, a village a few miles distant.
from Rhyl. Eight boys went to balm as they cease
from school in the afternoon, and were surrounded by the
tide and caught in a gutter about • hundred Yards wide.
The shallowest place at which they could get out was three
or four yards deep. Two of the number, named Robert
Evans and David Wells, of the respective ages of 14
and 11, were able to swim, and as soon as they
got out they ran for amistence, but it was of so
avail, the six boys on their return being out of
sight. Their names and ages were Walter Douglas
Williams, 10; Thomas Ellis, 11 ; William MS, 9; Samuel
Gilderoy, 11; George Gilderoy, 9 ; and Martin MMalion,
10. Three bodies were found about an hour after the
accident, the other three were discovered at one o'clock
on Saturday morning. The two Gilderoys were the eons
of Mr. Gilderoy, colliery manager at Greenfield, Ho) y-
well, and were at Prestatyn mending their holidays. The
Mikes *ere the sons of Mr.)ilis, a homer of that name,
living near the scene of the catastrophe; the Ober two
boys were the sous of bumble patents residue in the
vilhige. An inquest was held on :Adurday at Mr. John
Ruat's Railway Inn, before Mr. Robot Party, 4.spaty- •
coroner for the county of Flint, whoa a verdict of 'Jot-
dentally drowned" was returned. Five out of the six
were choritten in the village church, and had, as they
• thought, just time enough to bathe before going to the
usual weekly lugging practice.
DASTARDLY ObTßAGEL—Yesterday afternoon,
about half-past one o'clock, a daatardly outrage was pee-
petratad in the Crowndale-road, Careden•town, Oar
Oakley-square. Mr. Williams, corn deeler, of No.
19, in that road, was sitting at dinner with his family
in the parlour attacked to his shop which has a largo
Plata-glen front, when they were startled by • sharp
ma* and some glees and other material falling from the
Ira lust above the head of • young woman, • member of
rhe family. A round hole was dowdy cut through
thenar part of one of the thick sheets of plate-glam
forming the shop front, and some begs of boar- had hem
shattered. On easeineng the wall in the parloorom
dentition was found in the paper and plaster,
