and preserving the local waters frem pollution. The
necessary works 'will be commenced at once. Leeds,
Halifax, Bolton, and several other towns have decided on
the same course.

Dr. Newton is "practising" his miracles at Swin-
don. He still draws crowds of the sick and strong to see
the miraculous cures which somehow he always fails to
perform. The North Wilts Herald states that the Rev.
F. R. Young, of Swindon, believes in his miraculous
cures, and has openly published a statement to that
effect.

The Select Committee of the Commons appointed
to consider plans for new refreshment and dining rooms
for both Houses of Parliament have reported that the
plan of the First Commissioner will afford the accoramo-
dation required by the House of Commons, with
reasonable economy, if her Majesty should be graciously
pleased to authorise the same.
An accident occurred on Monday at the Walthen
House Colliery, near Wigan, which resulted in the loss
of three lives. Robert Fairhurst, a collier, 40 years of
age, was engaged in " holeing " beneath the cannel, in

son, aged 16, and Thomas Newton, aged 14, when a stone,
weighing seven tons, fell upon them, immediately crush,
ing them to death.
The dispute at Ashton-in-Mackerfield has
reached a new aiid interesting phase. The vicar pro-
posed to preach in his gown in the afternoon, if lie
might preach in his surplice in the morning. The
parishioners would not allow this great ecclesias ;ical
question to be thus compromised, and the vicar then cut
the Gordian knot by refusing to preach at either service
last Sunday.

On Sunday morning a number of men were
walking through a field near Wigan, in which there is a
deep pond. On arriving at this, one of the party, named
Rudd, offered to walk through if anyone would give him
6d. One of them said he had only 4d., for which Rudd
consented to walk through. He took the money and
jumped into the water, but became entangled in the
weeds, and when taken out was quite dead.

A telegram from Dungarvan, county Waterford,
states that on Monday morning, during a southerly gale
and in a heavy sea, the schooner Bertholly, 53 tons, John
Williams, master, bound from Portmadoc to Cork, with a
cargo of slates, struck on llungarvan Bar. The lifeboat
Christopher Ludlow, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution, put off to
.the vessel, which was in imminent
danger of breaking up, and was the means of saving the
crew of three men.

The Droit, a French journal, publishes a letter
from Madrid, stating that the bands of brigands have
recently greatly increased in the middle of Andalusia,
and woe be to those who venture far from the towns and
other centres of population. This letter gives a slightly
different version of the seizure of the Messrs. Bound.. It
affirms that they were taking a trip from Gibraltar, and
hdd received permission from the Duke of Medina Coeli
to hunt on his large estates in the neighbourhood.

TIIE INDIAN QUESTION.--The floating at Cooper
Institute, to advocate a pacific course towards the. Indians,
mainly indulged in reading letters and. hearing speeches.
A delegation from the Cherokee Nation. was present, and
explained the working of the governmental system of
that tribe. They had been, many years ago, placed upon
reservations, and had kept their treaties with the Govern-
ment. Therein apparently lies the only peaceable solu-
tion of the Indian question. Let all the tribes go upon
reservations, and keep their treaties, and there is no pro
babilit,y of trouble.—New York Herald.

COUNT BEUST AND THE CISLEITHAN
The Spenersche Zeitung refers to Count Beust's recent
circular as a proof that he is in favour of the claims of the
Gallician Poles, and thinks his reappearance on the scene,
hand in hand with the Cisleithan Ministry, is a clear
proof that he retained the direction of affairs while the
citizen Ministry came and went, and it will be interesting
to note what forms the constitutional life of Austria
assumes, under the influence of the Imperial Chancellor.

FLYING SQUADRON.---MO Flying Squadron
ived at Yokohama. The fleet consisted of the
Liverpool, Phoebe, Barossa, Endymion, Lippy, and
Scylla, and arrived in Japan after 56 days' passage from

it was start for home,.leaviw the Barossa, on the station
in place of the Pearl, winch accompanies the Flying
Squadron to England.

PROGRESS IN THE • EAST.—China and Japan, so
long stagnant in the path of civilisation and progress, are
now making rapid strides. Coal mines are to be worked
in the Chinese province of Chihli and engines for raising,
the coal and pumping out the water are in process of con-
struction at Tientsin arsenal. An Imperial mandate
has, moreover, ordered that measures shall be immedi-
ately adopted to deepen the Yellow River, and bring it
back to its bed. The most astonishing part of this in-
telligence comes, however, from Yeddo, where the tele-
'graph has gained so greatly in favour that from sixtsy.
to seventy messages are sent on the daily averag4.

Yesterday, at the sitting of the Court, Lord Penzance,
in the case of Vivian v. Vivian and Waterford, said that
he had reserved the question of costs under these eircutu
stances. There had been an intervener (Col. Leslie),
but it appeared, after time Wing given for investigation,
that there was no ground for the intervention and the ques-
tion reserved was whether the court should condemn him (the
intervener) in costs. He (Lord Penzance) had considered
the matter, and referred to the case, which was in poiut, of
Lantour v. Lantour. In that case the House of Lords decided
that the court had no power to condemn or intervene in costs
unless in a case where the Queen's. Proctor intervened
and proved colltiSion. He must, therefore, though reluc-
tantly, adopt that judgment ; but, if it bad been a matter of
discretion, he (the Judge Ordinary) would have made die
order asked for against the intervener. The Hilo for a- dis-
solution of the marriage was then made absolute, and to
date from the lath inst.
