THE RIOT AT TIIORN (JAFFE.

At an early hour on Monday morning a party of police-
constables proceeded from Barnsley to Worsbro' Dale, a
distance of about a mile and a half, and there appre-
hended sixteen colliers who were known to have taken
part in the riot of Friday morning. They were all taken
to the police-station at Barnsley. Later in the day they
were taken before the magistrate. Their names wei
John Beevors, William Beevors, John Tracey, George Firth,
George Columbine, Isaac Bullock, John Gee, James Wil-
liams, Richard James, William Perry, James Pratt, William
Pratt, Joseph Pratt, William Macdonald, Thomas Wil-
liams, and Cornelius Carr. The man George Gosling, who
was taken into custody during the riot, was also placed
with the others. Mr. Police-Superintendent Sykes said he
had to charge the prisoners with having, by force and arms
—to wit, with stones, sticks, and other offensive weapons
—riotously assembled together to disturb the peace, and
with having assaulted the police. The charge against
the prisoners had not been completed. They were
accordingly remanded. John Beevors was identified
by Police-constable Walker as the man who threw a
large stone at him, which knocked out four of his teeth,
while several of the other prisoners were also identified by
other constables as having taken part in the riot. On
Monday morning the Tankersley pit resumed work, but
the usual complement of men did not go to
work, while several of the men with their
families left the place on Sunday night. Several also
left by train from Westwood on Monday, having evidently
been much frightened by the course adopted by the
unionists. At the houses, however, everything was quiet.
during the day, and Inspector Kershaw distributed seve-
ral lots of men and women's, as well as children's clothing,
as in many instances nearly the whole of what belonged
to a family had been destroyed. The man Yardley, who,
lies at Pilley brick-yard, having received a severe wound on
the head by a blow from a sword, and having also been
struck in two or three places by cutlasses, is now in a fair
way of recovery, and on Monday Mr. Adamson, the surgeon
who is attending him, stated that he was out of danger. He
remains under the surveillance of the police, and will be
removed to the station at Barnsley as soon as he is in a
fit state. From what has transpired and the admission
of one of the men in custody, it appears that on
Friday morning, as early as four o'clock, the men were
stationed at the approaches to several of the collieries
near Barnsley, and informed of 'what was intended to
be dono, and marched off to the scene of the riot, which
is about four miles from Worsboro7, where there are
several of the largest collieries in the South Yorkshire

THE COMPLAINTS OF TIIE " RECORD."—III the
revised Lectionary proposed to her Majesty we observe,
says the Record, with regret that instead of the words
" morning and evening prayer," as contained in the Order
iaefixed to tho Prayer Book—the Order how the rest of
the Holy Scripture is appointed to be read—the terms
" mattins " and " even song " are to be used. The Record ,
is the less surprised, observing that the Bishop of Win-
chester was chairman of the sub-committee, but it does
not consider the change unimportant. The words " even
song " imply intonation. In announcing that Mr.
Gladstone has appointed Archdeacon Jones to be the new
Bishop of St. Asaph, the same paper says it has nothing
to allege against the appointment of a moderate High
Churchman; but the paragraph going the round of news-
papers to the effect that he belongs to "the Evangelical"
section of the Church, is only calculated to delude. It
was generally said that Mr. Gladstone would not deny to
the Welsh a man of decided Evangelical principles ; but
his alleged aversion to this section of the Church has been
so consistent and uninterrupted, that, out of eight mitres.
not one has been given to a decided Evangelical.
THE WRECK OF THE KENILWORTH.—Thin noble
ship, which was wrecked in Cardigan Bay on the 11th
instant, bad a cargo of 3,863 bales of co:ton, which is
valued at between .£70,000 and .V 30,000. She was built
at Thomaston, in the State of Maine, in 1855, and was
considered a very find vessel of her class. A singular
coincidence has transpired in connection with the loss of
this vessel. About two years ago the \Vapella, a vessel
belonging to Messrs. Taylor, Tipper, and Co., was wrecked
on the same rocks, and nearly all the crew perished. But
the crew of the Kenilworth, consisting of '2l men, were saved
by the determined and gallant services of the Abersoch
and harmouth lifeboats. The captain of the ship, who is
an American, is very loud, says the Rev. 0. Ll. Williams,
in his praises of both boats, saying " that ho never thought
there were such boats in the world, and blesses the very
name of the lifeboat inventor." A rather singular but
melancholy circumstance has occurred in connection with
this noble rescue. On the captain arriving the other day
at Fwillaeli he learnt of the death of the wife of his mate,
and on the next day that of his own wife. The captain
Bayed nothing from the wreck but hid watch.
