COMMITTALS FOR MURDER AND RIOT.

On Tuesday three navvies, White, Caseley, and Parker
were committed for trial by the Penrith magistrates on a
charge of wilful murder, at Armathwaite, of Cornelius
Cox, a fellow labourer and an Irishman, on Saturday
night, the 15th instant. Yesterday three more navvies,
French, Jones, and Draper, were charged with conspir-
ing to create a riot and disturbance on the Monday fol-
lowing, and with being ringleaders of the mob
which assembled, armed with sticks and other
weapons, to drive all the Irish labourers
from the works. About two hundred English
navvies proceeded in a band to the office of the manager,
and asked, with an oath, if he was going to pay the Irish
off. On his refusing they proceeded to the huts and
ordered them off immediately. The Irish were so
frightened that they betook themselves to the woods, and
now there was no one left at the works.

The evidence clearly implicated all the prisoners, and
they were committed for trial.

CIA. NEW BISHOP.—We are glad to be in a position
to' state that the Bishop of Capetown has, during his stay
in this country, succeeded in arranging for the appoint-
ment of a bishop for the Orange Free State. This see
was left vacant sometime ago by the sudden and unaccoun-
table resignation of Dr. Twells. The name of his succes-
sor will be made public as soon as the necessary formal
steps have been taken to confirm the election.—Church
Herald.

CO-OPERATIVE AGRICULTURE IN CHESHIRE.—On
Tuesday, the Hon. W. Egerton, M.P., presided at Al-
trincham, at one of a series of meetings being held in
Cheshire, to form a Cheshire Farmers' Supply Associa-
tion, co-operative and limited, its object being to manu-
facture artificial manures on the Weaver Canal, and to
buy wholesale for cash bones and mineral phosphates,
&c., guano, seeds, pure oil cake, and feeding stuffs, and
to re-sell these articles at a considerable reduction as
compared with the past cost to the farmers and land-
owners. The Chairman said he hoped the undertaking
wovld be carried on, as he believed its principles were
sound, and that the association would benefit the agricul-
tural interest

Miss GLYN.—Miss Glyn made her first appear-
ance in the United States at Tremont Temple, Boston,
on the sth instant, and was favoured with an audience
large in numbers, and remarkable for its containing such
inenas Longfellow, Hughes, Lowell, and many others of
equal culture and reputation; and not only this but the ma-
jority of the audience'were people of refinement and culture
---so that the debutante had to do remarkably well to succeed
before such an assemblage, and her success was decided.
The play she chose for her opening—" Antony and
Cleopatra"—was (according to a Boston critic) one re-
markably suited to her style, and her rendering of the
simple, stern, grand, though coarse, Antony—the
beautiful, sly, fascinating, perverse, passionate Cleopatra
—the rough, soldierly Enobarbus— of all the various
characters—was well-drawn and all-satisfying.—London
