LORD ktAmeESlll.7ltY AND 1118 TENANTRY.—The
Earl of hi alniesbury sends to the Bourne's°Nth Visilwa'
in rectory a letter which he lately wrote to Mr. Harland
Burke, the liberal candidate for Christchurch. Mr. Burke
was reported to have said at • public meeting that several
of Lord lialmeabury's tenants looked upon themselves as
personally bound to vote as "my lord" would wish. He
mentioned the name of a Mr. Elliott, who he was told was
the agent of Lord hfalmesbury, and was working against
him as the agent of Sir H. Drummond Wulff, the tory
candidate. Lord Malrnesbury at once wrote to Mr.
Burke, demanding to know as to the accuracy of the
newspaper report, and calling for information respecting
the alleged victims of landlord tyranny. To this no
answer bad been received up to the time Lorca Malmesbury
sent his letter to the local paper. Mr. Elliott writes to
deny that any undue influence has been used.
THE EVANOELIC.AL UNIoN.—A prayer meeting,
one of a series, under the auspices of "The Evangelical
Union," was held on Thursday at Exeter-hall. The Rev.
Dr. Fry said that amongst the letters which had been re-
ceived in reference to the special objects of prayer was one
from a young man. who described himself as an under-
graduate of the University of Cambridge, who was tor-
tured with doubts on the subject of religion. He was
anxious that his faith should be confirmed. and that he
might be enabled to evince that faith boldly before his
fellow-students in the university. Thia, said Dr. Fry, was
• most important matter at the present time, when men of
immense energy and ability, most of them clergymen of
the established church, were directing all their powers to
force their erroneous opinions on the public schools and
the universities of the country. The five or six prayers
which followed all tore upon the state of this unhappy
young man. In the prayers the forthcoming elections
were not forgotten, and one person asked the prayers of
the meeting for an individual, on the ground that his
landlord bad seized his goods for rent. The Rev. O. C.
Scott, who was to have delivered au address, did not
attend.

TILE NATAL (tom FIELDS.—Tho following re-
ference to there gold fields is from the Trade Report of
Hegers. Wheeler and Haddon, of Durban, dated Sept. 7:—
"The news of the return of the first party of diggers from
the gold fields excited at first some surprise and disap-
pointment, till it was found that the smallness of the
party and its unfitness in many ways for the unforeseen
difficulties of the situation were sufficient reasons for its
return. Reinforced by new hands from both this and the
Cape colony, and by appliances for quartz crushing. the
same men are returning over the Limpopo, and other par-
ties also, sanguine of sucesse. Tho richness of these gold
fields is generally believed in here, and numbers are ouly
waiting for the grass to grow before making the journey."
THREE HouNlol AND A Fox BURIED ALIVE.—
A somewhat remarkable occurrence took plane in con-
nexion with the meet of the Cumberland fox hounds in
the neighbourhood of Wetheral last Friday. A fox was
stertid, and a spirited run ensued as far as Brocklewath,
where the vat mint " took refuge in a drain and was to it.
At the elope of the day throe hounds were found wanting,
but as it IAIIII supposed they would turn up again, no
fultbr r notice was taken of the matter. As they were
not heal d of before Monday, however, a search was in-
etant. rl, the than, shady referred to was examined, arid
th, re Iviior none voids below the surface they were
found. y w. re al;ll live, after their three slays' entomb-
ment though one of them was reduced lea very weak
state. Thin fox was also found alive in the same drain
lying within I. iew yards of the hounds.—Jadalifuvistg.
