Ftscagrr MADDocK having, from venerable old
age, become unequal to the fulfilment of the duties of the
office of Town-clerk of Chester, the Council, after a warm
discussion, elected Mr. John Walker, as deputy of the
Town-clerk, by 19 votes against 16.

ROBBERIES IN CHESHIRE.-011 Monday week, Evan
Cleaton was committed for trial at Liscard, charged with
stealing a barometer, two top coats, and a pair of gloves
from the entrance-hall of the mansion of John Bigland,
Esq., New Brighton, and also for stealing two oak chairs
from the entrance-hall of the Commissioners' rooms, at
Birkenhead.

TEE MURDER IN NORTH WALES.—Oa Wednesday,
at the Carnarvon assizes, John Roberts, aged 23, was sen-
tenced to death for the wilful murder of Jesse Roberts,
aged 16, near Roe, in the county of Carnarvon. The
murderer, it appeared, had invited bis victim, who was a
pupil-teacher, to go shooting rabbits, and while so em-
ployed among the mountains, at a place called Cerrig-y-
-pryfoid, Roberts shot the poor young man, robbed the
body of a watch, and left it among the rocks.
THE LATE Mr. HENRY WINCH.—The following com-
munication has been addressed to the widow of the above
respected gentleman, by his brother magistrates :—"Town
Hall, Birkenhead, 22nd of July, 1853. Mrs. Winch,—
Madam,— The magistrates, in hundred session assembled
this day, have heard with concern of the death of Henry
Winch, Esq., of Seacombe, on the 17th inst., and they
desire to record their sense of the value of his active and
upright services as a justice of the peace of the district to
which he devoted his attention.—John Dean Case, chair-
man."

THE LORD'S DAY OBSERVANCE.—Twenty-eight farmers
of the parish of Acton in Cheshire, keeping a total of 909
cows, and amongst whom are the owners of some of the
best dairies in Cheshire, have signed a declaration to the
effect that they have left off the practice of making cheese
on the Lord's-day for periods varying from two to twelve
years ; that they are in every respect satisfied with the
results of the change; and that they are satisfied that,
with due care, any one who is disposed to do so may leave
off cheese-making on that day without sustaining any loss
or inconvenience.

'WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS.—Mr. Penny presided
at a meeting of this board on Tuesday, when a report was
submitted from the special committee. The report re-
commended that Mr. Hassall be clerk, with a salary of
£l5O per annum, with an assistant at £6O per annum ;
that Mr. Kerr be collector, at £125 per annum ; Mr. J.
Chaffers, of the Royal Bank, treasurer ; and that an
inspector of nuisances and a surveyor be appointed, at
salaries of £lOO per annum. All the resolutions were
agreed to, except that relative to Mr. Chaffers, who re-
fused to give any security. It was consequently agrees
to defer the matter until the next meeting.
EXTENSIVE STRIKES IN SOUTH WALES.—An impor-
tant district of South Wales is at present suffering from
the annoyances attendant upon a rash and ill-advised
strike. The Dowlais Works are stopped, its 15 furnaces
are out of blast, and each furnace affects, directly or in-
directly, 1,000 people men, women, and children.
From time to time there have been advances of wages at
Dowlais, and at other works in the two counties. At
the time the strike took place the men were working upon
the fourth advance, making in all a rise of 30 per cent.
In the Merthyr district an advance of 10 per cent. was ac-
corded, but the men, not satisfied with this large advance,
asked 72 per cent. more. At Plymouth Works the men
turned out without notice, but shortly afterwards resumed
work, the manager, Mr. Hill, having given them not only
this 7 per cent., but 21 per cent. more, or 20 per cent.
in all. This stimulated the workmen at the Dowlais
Works to ask an advance of 7i per cent. To this
Lady Charlotte Guest declined to accede, and on Tuesday
the colliers struck work, without giving notice. The-ex-
ample of the colliers was afterwards followed by the
" puddlers," and the whole 15 furnaces were then at once
blown out, and all work suspended. By thus ceasing work
without giving notice, and without fulfilling their engage-
meats, the men have forfeited all arrears of pay due to
them, and from 10,000 to 15,000 people—men, women, and
children—arethroxvn out of bread. In consequence of the
dissatisfaction of the workmen at Cyfartha, Mr. Crawshay
has given notice that on the 26th of August all contracts
shall cease. EbbwVale, Sirhowy, Rhymney, Tredegar, and
all the Pontypool Iron Company'sgoing
works are on as
usual. The colliers at Dowlais, it is stated, are leaving in
large numbers for the collieries in the Aberdare-valley.
Much anxiety and excitement have been created by the
" turn-outs," and exaggerated rumours have been afloat
of menaces, intimidation, rioting, &c. These reports led
to precautionary measures, and the troops (horse and foot)
at Newport-barracks were under arms, preparing to move
at a moment's notice. Meetings of large numbers, it is
true, have been held on the hills, but it is stated that they
were conducted temperately and decorously. At a meeting
of the Red Ash-colliery proprietors the following resolu-
tions were agreed to :—" That this meeting is of opinion
that the further advance of 2d. per ton, asked by the col-
liers on the Ist of August, cannot be agreed to. That
this meeting does not consider that it would be advisable
at the present time to advance the price of coal. That the
masters are willing to give an advance whenever the price
of coal exceeds the present price of 103. per ton. That a
copy of the foregoing resolutions be sent to the different
coal-owners in this and the neighbouring districts, re-
questing their co-operation." It. hoped that the dis-
cussicins now taking place on the hills will eventually lead
to the men returning to their work, as, however disastrous
to the masters, the effects of a strike of any continuance
to the men are ruinous.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The North-London
train, on passing through the Minories portion of the
Blackwell Railway on Thursday, got partly off the rails,
and three plate-layers, who had been working at the spot,
and who were standing against the parapet wall to let the
train pass, were thrown under the engine, and two of
them killed ; the third escaped with some bruises. None
of the passengers in the train received any injury.

HORTICULTURE.

---
Stove, Conservatory, B,(c.—The Stove and Greenhouse
climbers are approaching their greatest state of luxuriance,
and upon the care now taken to keep them within proper
bounds the future beauty of the houses entirely depends.
The branches should be carefully tied in, or trained into
some neat or elegant form ; if made to hang in festoons
from the trellised rafters the best effect will be produced,
recollecting always that it is far better to apply the knife
and freely remove all those branches which cannot be
made conformable to the general plan. This is a difficult
lesson to learn, for it is,•generally speaking, repugnant to
the feelings to cut away large portions of a plant which
has required much time and care to bring into a state of
luxuriance.

Flower Garden.—This should now be in perfection,
but, owing to the unusually wet and cold season, all the
more delicate bedding• plants, upon which we have de-
pended for our finest effect, look little better than rank
weeds ; the verbenas and heliotropes are luxuriant enough,
but are almost destitute of bloom ; this cannot now be
remedied, but if they are carefully kept within bounds.
and not suffered to grow too wild, they may probably
make a fine autumnal display.
Kitchen Garden. Plant every available space with
cabbage, brocoli, and greens of all the good kinds, for
winter use, not forgetting Brussels sprouts. Sow onions
for spring transplanting.

THURSDAY, JULY 28.—Great as
day, this being the Cup day, the assemblage was not only com-
paratively more numerous, but was larger than any array ever
previously seen at this far-famed meeting. Excepting a slight
shower, the weather continued fine up to the conclusion of the
sport. Though the fields were small, the racing was more than
usually interesting, the antagonism of Autocrat and Dervish,
two prominent favourites for next year's Derby, causing much
speculation. The Cup was contested by a large field, and won
for the first time by a foreign bred horse, the second also being
of French origin. Mons. Lupin, the owner of the winner, is
said to have netted £5,000. We subjoin a return

The erection of the new stand, at York, progresses favoura-
bly, the roof having been put on, and it will be completed in a
few days. The iron palisades at the back of the building have
been carried up to the carriage road. It is also in contempla-
tion to extend the iron railings at the south end of the Grand
Stand 15 yards before the approaching August Meeting, which
will niater!ally enlarge the enclosure.

The Unitel .'orrice Gazette says, " We understand that the
good fortune of Captain J. R. Scott, late of the 4th Dragoon

ness has been done in the warehouses this week, in heavy
winter goods, but the lighter descriptions have been dull of sale.

HUDDERSFIELD.—For seasonable goods there has b 4
fair demand, but the sales have been limited, consequent
a limited supply of the class of goods in request.

NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace and Hosiery business are each in
the same condition we have reported them for some weeks past,

but with the prospect of their being better, as the sales in
Australia and other colonies, as well as in the United States,
are spoken of as being considerable and yielding large yrofits.
For Lace goods, the best and most expensive commands a pre-
ference in Australia, as (lo also the best of Hosiery Goods. The
price of. Yarns is still very high, without a prospect of any
reduction in any of the textiles used in our fabrics.

MARKETS.

LIVEitPOOL, JULY 29.—Chia morning's market was slen-
derly attended by town as well as country dealers, and though
we have had rain throughout the hours of business, consuming
buyers of Wheat acted much on the reserve, and the trans-
actions were only to a moderate extent at the quotations of
Tuesday. From the large quantity of Flour offering ex quay,
a slight concession was made to effect sales, but the demand
was on the whole of a limitei character. There was little doing
in Oats and Oatmeal, prices remaining unvaried. Barley
scarce, and fully as dear. We had a quiet trade in Indian
Corn on the spot, for which we repeat our previous currency;
several arrived cargoes have been sold for feeding purposes,
and somewhat more money paid.

Oats were 1 d per 451b5., and Oatmeal 6d per load dearer. Barley
was also Is per load dearer. In Beans and other articles there
was no change. -

PRESTON, JULY 30.—We had a very small supply of English
Wheat at our market to-day, which met a brisk sale at 6d per
windle advance; no Scotch offering; Foreign unaltered. Flour
6d per pack higher. Beans scarce. Oats have fully supported
the late advance. Oatmeal has met a languid demand, without
change in value.. Other articles as before.

WAKEFIELD, JULY 29.—The arrivals of foreign Wheat are
large, and a fair supply is reported from the coast. To-day
millers are not eager buyers, but holders are firm. We quote
the value of all fine fresh qualities the same as last week; inferior
sorts are much neglected. Barley as before. Oats, Shelling,
and Beans steady, at former prices.
WISBECH, JULY 30.—A fair quantity of Wheat has been
shown by our farmers to-day, but as they were not disposed to
submit freely to the prices offered by the merchants, little
business was done in consequence. There have been three or
four samples of Rape Seed offering, in fair condition, and of
good quality. The farmers report a very bad yield: we hear
of one parcel making 31s per quarter. With fine weather, our
Wheat harvest will commence in about a fortnight.

CORK, JULY 30.—The large delivery of potatoes at a low
price has reduced the consumption of bread one-third, and
bakers barely supplying their necessities, leaves the Flour trade
inactive. A good business was done in Wheats, at full prices,
the buying being chiefly for present uses. Indian Corn fluc-
tuated 2s 6d per ton during the week ; the sale is getting very
slow.

DUBLIN, JULY 29.—We have no particular alteration to
report in our Corn market since Tuesday. Higher rates were
demanded for Wheat but not conceded. Feeding Oats were in
demand, and in some cases a small advance was realised.
Indian Corn was 6d to Is cheaper, and dull at the decline.
