DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

At Leeds, as at Liverpool, the revision of the burgess list
has been rendered a nullity by the vast number of frivolous
objections.
The Earls of Kenmore and Listowel will be immediately
raised to the peerage of the united kingdom.—Cork Reporter.
Lord Henley, we are gratified to learn, is now restored to
his mental faculties, and is enabled to mix with his family.
Indeed, the learned lord is so much recovered as to be en-
abled to take carriage airings almost daily.

The Hon. Mrs. Waldegrave (now Countess of Waldegrave)
who was married in Edinburgh last week to the Earl of Wal-
degrave, is the daughter of the veteran vocalist Braham, and
was the widow of the noble lord's younger brother.
DOVER, Oct. 25.—M. Guizot left here this morning in the
French government steam-packet for Calais, under a salute
of 19 guns from the heights : a guard of honour attended him
on board.

DUNKELD.—EXTRAORDINARY CROP.—A small field,
situate on the south bank of the river Brean, near Inver,
and measuring less than 21 Scotch acres, has this year pro-
duced the amazing quantity of 942 bolls of oats ; and in the
last season, 200 bolls of potatoes !
PROSPECTS OF AN ELECTION.—The Shropshire Conser-
vative gives us a very flattering augury :—" Two conservatives
will represent Ludlow at the next general election, and Sir
Richard Jenkins will have a conservative coadjutor with him
for Shrewsbury." We trust this prediction may be realized.
The Grand Duke Alexander of Russia intends to set up an
extensive racing stud. His imperial highness has engaged
George Taylor as trainer and jockey, and he sailed from
Hull in the Manchester on Wednesday, in charge of the
following thorough-bred horses:—Alderman, Marchioness,
Rose, Bradwardine, Lallah Rookh, Resolution, &c. Four
lads accompanied him to ride light weights.
TORY LIBERALITY.—Last year the Duke of Portland,
owing to the distress of the working classes of Sutton-in
Ashford, granted allotments of ground for gardens to the more
needy of that class of the inhabitants, at the inconsiderable
annual rent of 35., clear of all rates and taxes. His Grace,
last month, was pleased to extend his liberality to upwards of
150 families, and thus no less than 300 are now partakers of
the noble duke's considerate munificence.

Edward Oxford's present condition in confinement is by no
means so terrible as might be imagined ; for if he has lost his
liberty he has found most other things which make life agree-
able, being furnished with all little matters to afford amuse-
ment and pleasure, enjoying a pleasant apartment, and treated
with more attention than he could have expected in former
life.

The beautiful greyhound Bess, which was the winner of
the coursing matches at Whitehaven, Workington, and
Lowther, last year, was killed on the Croft Railroad on
Friday week, in the following manner :—Mr. Benn had been
out coursing with Bess, and she struck a hare upon the rail-
road just as the train came up, and, passing over her, cut
her in half, with the hare in her mouth.
ENGINEERS, E.I.C.—We have received a letter, dated
August 20, from an officer of this corps, who states that there
has been a very general rising of the Belchochees and other
powerful tribes in Scinde. An officer and detachment of 160
men had been unfortunately killed by these insurgents, who
had possession of the Balkan pass. There was also a rumour
—which, from subsequent information, we fear was but too
true—to the effect that Khelat had been retaken, in which
case the massacre of the garrison was looked upon as certain.
Five regiments were under orders for Scinde at the date of
the letter referred to.—United Service Gazette.
THE IRON MINES OF NORTHUMBERLAND.—From ex-
aminations which have been made, there is no doubt that a
rich bed of iron stone exists in the neighbourhood of Elsdon.
Considering the rich mines of iron that are already in course
of being worked by the Hareshaw Iron Company and the
Redesdale Iron Company, it is probably not too much to an-
ticipate that Northumberland will become one of the richest
iron districts in the kingdom. Railways are, doubtless, ne-
cessary to develope fully her mineral wealth ; but they will
follow when the value of the mines is thorotighly understood,
and the existence of iron-stone in abundance will, most pro-
bably, be considered a powerful argument when a public rail.
way is seriously about to be commenced.—Kelso Chronicle.
LECTURES ON SOCIALISM.—At the request of Mr.
Brindley's late audience, that gentleman returned to Chester
last week to complete his exposure of the irreligion and
abominations of Socialism, and the evenings of Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, were set apart for that
purpose. The audiences were very numerous and highly
respectable ; indeed, on the two latter evenings, several
hundreds were accommodated on the stage, who could not
obtain room in any other part of the theatre. At the con=
elusion of the lectures, Mr. Brindley was invited to commence
a new course this week, which invitation he immediately
accepted, and the first lecture was delivered yesterday even-
ing. We understand that arrangements have been made for
a public discussion between Mr. Brindley and Mr. Watts,
Socialist missionary, which is expected to take place in about
a fortnight.—Chester Courant.

KIRKCALDY.--DREADFUL CASES OF HYDROPHOBIA.—
On a Sunday morning, in the latter end of. August last, a
sheep dog, in a highly rabid state, entered the house of a me-
chanic, named Young, who resides in Airdrie, near Glasgow,
and severely bit in the face a fine boy, aged six years, and a
girl aged fifteen months. The infuriated animal then left the
house, and was not destroyed until it had dangerously torn
the hand of a man passing on the street. Medical aid was
promptly procured, and every means used to extirpate the
virus from the wounds of the unfortunate individuals. The
two children apparently got well, but were occasionally in an
excited and nervous state, and were latterly sent to the house
of their grandfather in this place, for the benefit of change of
air, &c. In the early part of last week, symptoms appeared
in the boy which created the greatest alarm, up to Thursday,
when a violent attack of hydrophobia manifested itself, and
terminated fatally at half-past seven o'clock the same even-
ing. On the Saturday following, the little girl was similarly
attacked, and expired at seven o'clock on Sunday evening.
The interment of the boy took place at four o'clock on Sab-
bath, and that of the little girl at one the following day. A
post mortem examination was held on the boy by the medical
faculty. The brain was found to be in a soft and pulpy state,
with the blood vesicle turgid with blood, the epiglottis cover-
ing the mouth of. the windpipe much thickened, and sur-
rounded with a quantity of viscid mucus. The adult who
was bit at the same time is still in the west country, and, up
to the middle of last week, was well. This deplorable case
has caused great excitement throughout the town. —Fffe
Herald.
THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT LUDLOW.—On
Thursday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon, as George
Hathaway, the ostler at the Angel Inn, was removing an old
kitchen grate which stood in the brewhouse down the yard,
he there found amongst some old things two pair of unbleach-
ed cotton stockings, which had been placed there when wet,
as they were then quite damp and mildewed, and very dirty,
and must have been there some time undisturbed. There are
no initials upon the stockings ; the feet of the one pair are
very much discoloured, as if they had been saturated with
blood, and in some of the folds it appeared as if blood had
been concealed. The marks on the feet of this pair of stock-
ings are considered to be of a much deeper red and different
from the stains that may be caused by perspiration of the feet
when wearing new boots or shoes. There is nothing particu-
lar on the other pair of stockings. The stockings were rolled
together, and not anything wrapped round them. We bear
that it is the intention of the magistrates to examine Hatha-
way, the ostler, and sift this mysterious affair as far as possi-
ble.—Hereford Times.

The following memorandum has been issued from the Ad-
miralty :—"Admiralty, Sept. 26, 1840.—As it will frequently
occur, in consequence of the shore pay of captains of royal
marines, which is received by them monthly in advance, that
over payments will take place when they are embarked before
the expiration of the period for which they may have received
the shore pay, their lordships are pleased to direct that, in
order to enable the accountant general to recover the amount
of such over payments, the captain or commanding officer of
any of her majesty's ships and vessels in which a captain of
marines may embark, shall furnish the said captain, on em-
barkation, with a certificate of the date when he commenced
victualling, and on his disembarkation, with a certificate of
the date when he ceased victualling, which certificate the cap-
tain of marines is to transmit immediately to the accountant
general, to enable him to regulate his pay."

THE CHANNEL IsraiNns.—The threats which the French
so lately made, that they will attack Jersey in the case of a
war, have been met by the natives, both men and women,
with mingled indignation and scorn. The statement that a
steamer could subdue the island is most absurd. Its shores
are defended by Martello towers, which are within gun-shot
of each other. They are now being put in a state of de-
fence. There are also 3,000 native militia. This force, if
necessary, could be increased to 5,000. They are well dis-
ciplined ; they are enthusiastically loyal ; they are proudly
fond of their fatherland. There have been, I admit, com-
plaints that our whip government is remiss in not sending
more force here, in order that if war should be suddenly de-
clared, and the French were to make a dash at the island,
they might act with the native troops to prevent it for even
an hour falling into the hands of an enemy. Our lieutenant-
governor, who is a wise and brave man, has the most perfect
confidence in the loyalty and courage of the people. He has
already taken the precaution to have all the French enrolled,
with a view of sending them to the opposite shore as soon as
war is inevitable. Should a rupture take place between
England and France, and a propagandist army be sent here
in 20 steamers, they will find no sympathisers with French
principles, but they will meet with such a demonstration in
favour of old England against young France, as will send
them back, as heretofore, to their shores, defeated and dis-
graced.—Correspondent of a daily paper.
ARMED STEAM SHIPS--One of her Majesty's most power-
ful steam-vessels has been recently fitted with two guns, one
forward before the mast, an ordinary 32-pounder • and ano-
ther abaft the mizen mast, weighing 84 cwt., with a bore of
10.02 inches diameter- Each gun is mounted on a slide,
which moves on a pivot, so that they are capable of being
pointed in any direction all round. The velocity of the re-
coil is restrained by two powerful screws, which press the
carriage on the side with so much force, that, although there
is a strong breeching, it is rarely seen, in the case of the great
gun, brought to its full stretch. From experiments made on
the great gun, it appears, that, with only two ounces more
powder than is required for the charge of the 32-pounder,--
that is, 101 b 13oz—it is capable of projecting a hollow shot,
weighing 801 b, at a range of 16 degrees, to as great a distance
as the 32-pounder—namely, 3,850 yards, or nearly two miles
and a fifth. It is, therefore, evident, from the facilities for
advance and retreat possessed by steam-vessels, that this
mode of warfare would be highly effective in bombardment.

A DOUBLE DESERTION.—Some time ago, a person, whose
name shall not be mentioned, that his blushes may be spared,
applied to the registrar of marriages at Ulverston to arrange
the preliminaries of his union with a fair dame who had re-
sponded to his sighs, and promised to take compassion on
his disconsolate state. The matter adjusted, forth they
went, arm and arm, indulging in the most soothing antici-
pations of happiness to come, of joys doubled, and griefs
divided, when, lo ! a former and once favoured lover, like an
evil genius, crossed their path. John, for that was his name,
took an opportunity of whispering into her ear the memory
of their former affection, and the susceptible dame, over-
come by the thought, accepted his proposal of marriage
within a month, leaving the hapless swain to the bitter dis-
appointment, with the prize snatched from his grasp, just as
he fancied he had laid hold of it. He returned dismayed to
Ulverston, to see whether he could not prevent the treach-
ery, and whether he had not acquired a claim over the false
one, which the interloper could not dispute ; but having
found himself without redress, he hurried home to hide his
grief in solitude. Meantime John promised to make a fresh
application to the useful functionary before mentioned, on
his own behalf, but he has not yet fulfilled that promise ;
and when the importunate " she" remonstrated with him,
and backed her rebuke with a volley of reproaches, he an-
swered her by telling her that he never intended making her
his wife.—Kendal Whig.
REFINED DEPRAVITY IN HUMBLE LIFE.—SOILE weeks
ago an Englishman employed on the railway, near Ratho,
came to lodge in the house of a decent sub-contractor in that
parish, who had a wife and four or five children. It appears
that the wife had been swayed from her allegiance by till arts
of her lodger, as on Wednesday last she eloped with him,
carrying off the youngest child, an infant, and about £l5 of
money. The infatuated woman left a letter addressed to her
husband, stating that she had been induced to take the step
she had done by the workings of a guilty mind, as she could
not look him in the face, and beseeching him to be kind to
their children, and to bring them up in the fear of God, and
especially never to let them hear their mother's name men-
tioned, or be made aware of her guilt. The poor husband
came into Edinburgh the same evening in a state of great
distraction, and, with the assistance of the police, made a
search for his faithless wife and her paramour, but not a trace
of them was to be found.—Caledonian Mercury.

CONS en/410N or ST. JOHN'S CaURCII, BUGLAWTON.
This church was consecrated, according to the rites and
monies of the Church of England, on Thursday last, on will&
occasion a sermon was preached by the Right Rev. the Lord
Bishop of Chester. ---
SACRILEGE.—On Tuesday night the church of St. Luke's
Cheetham-hill, was forcibly entered by thieves, who took the
lead from one of the windows, and thus made a passage for
themselves into the body of the church. Their object evi-
dently was to steal the communion plate, as they attempted
to force open an iron safe in which they supposed it was kept,
but this safe was secured by one of Chubb's patent locks,
which resisted all their efforts, and the only booty they ob-
tained was a screw-driver and some small keys.—Manchester
Chronicle.
THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL AT BRIGHTON.—It is said
that a general subscription will be forthwith commenced
at Brighton for the purpose of presenting Captain Rey-
nolds with a service of plate ; and, further, that the inhabi-
tants of Brighton intend to invite him to a public dinner.
Should a subscription be opened, there is not the slightest
doubt but a very large sum of money will, in a very short
time, be raised, as there is an almost universal feeling in fa-
vour of the gallant Captain. The sentence has caused an
extraordinary sensation throughout the metropolis, and se-
veral thousand pounds, it is said, have changed hands ; large
bets having been made that a severe reprimand would have
been the result of the quarrel with him and the Earl of Car-
digan.—Sun.
A company of sappers and miners are to be forthwith em-
ployed in repairing the embrasures of Pendennis Castle,
Falmouth, and in restoring the dilapidations at St. Mawe's
Castle ; also to erect a battery on St. Anthony's Hill. Orders
have been issued to cause two of the packets in harbour to
proceed, one to Liverpool and the other to Ireland, for
volunteers for the Britannia flag-ship.
LATE FIRS AT PLYMOUTH DOCKYARD.—A correspon-
dent of the Western Luminary observes, in reference to the
recent destructive fire in the dockyard—" It is my opinion
that the fire was the result of accident; but what will be
said, if evidence can be obtained, as I believe it can, that the
' bin,' about which so much is now said, was absolutely
walked over and over, round and round, through and through,
when the 'roofing and the Talavera herself was a coal of
fire.' and not a single spark was to be seen there." What
will our morning contemporary say to this ? Are all his
columns, day after day, " from his own correspondent,"
thus to evaporate in smoke ? Any money for a fire in the
bin ! Even a solitary spark will be rewarded with a puff
A BOLD RIDER.—On Wednesday, the 30th ult., Mr. and
Mrs. Leycester, of Toft Hall, Cheshire, on a tour through
North Wales, ascended Cader Idris, under the guidance of
Pugh the younger. Both rode the guide's ponies to the
summit, but the lady persisted in riding down the other side,
and, passing through the rugged precipices above Llyn Cae,
alighted safely before the Tavern at Minfordd, a feat never
yet performed by any person, save by this fair visitant.—
Chester Courant.

JERSEY, OCT. 16.—The threatened appearance of war has
caused great alarm to many of the English residents here,
and preparations are being made to repel any invasion the
French might make. Last week a general muster was made
by the authorities of the French living in Jersey, and their
names taken down to the number of 500 in this town only.
The different forts and batteries in the island have been in-
spected, and guns and carriages have been sent from England
in a very quiet way, so as not to cause any alarm."
THE LATE MURDER AT BARNSLEY.—In addition to the
two men, Mitchel and Robinson, who were in custody last
week, another who had absconded has since been taken by
Carnelly. His name is Fox. The inquest was adjourned to
yesterday, when it was confidently expected that the evidence
would be sufficient to warrant the committal of at least two
of the prisoners. The remains of the unfortunate victim
were interred at Barnsley on Friday morning, in the presence
of a large circle of relatives and friends, and an immense
concourse of spectators.—Doncaster Gazelle.
We understand that no less than 21 gentlemen have offered
the London and Brighton Railway Company £lOO each, to
pass free between London and Brighton during the first year
after the railroad is opened. This is an early indication of
the incalculable advantages that are likely to result to this
town from the completion of the railroad.—Brighton
Gazette.

THE PACKET STATION.—We understand that there is no
doubt of the government having confirmed the report of the
commissioners in favour of the port of Dartmouth. The
mayor of Dartmouth has, we hear, received a communication
to that effect from high authority, and a similar communica-
tion has been addressed to Sir John Seale, as well as to other
parties in Totnes.—Western Luminary.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—SEVEN LIVES
LOST.—On the evening of the 19th instant, a fearful accident
happened in the Medway, near Chatham, by which seven
men perished. It appeared that a party of lumpers, 16 in
number, had been at work on board a merchant ship in the
river, and about seven o'clock they all got into a skiff for the
purpose of returning to the shore. It was then blowing a
gale from the N.W., and the water was very rough, while
the boat was not at all adapted for a heavy sea, or to carry so
many persons. On nearing a vessel close in shore, over
which the party intended to go for the purpose of stepping
from the ship to the shore, a wave rolled in, and in rebound-
ing from the ship struck the boat, and the men becoming
alarmed, all got up and made a rush to get ashore, but ere
one of them could reach the land, the boat capsized and
immersed the whole party in the stream. A distressing
scene ensued ; the parties clung to each other and begun
struggling in the water, and before any assistance could reach
them, seven of them perished. Some of the survivors ma-
naged to swim ashore, and others were picked up by a fishing
boat. Measures were irumediaiely taken to recover the
drowning men, but, owing to the boisterous state of the
weather, without effect. On Tuesday and yesterday the
bodies of six of the unfortunate men were recovered and
taken ashore : we understand that all the poor fellows have
left wives and families to deplore their loss.
PORTSMOUTH.—The Calcutta, 84, Captain Sir Samuel
Roberts, is ready for sea, at Plymouth, and was to sail on
Wednesday, for Gibraltar and Malta, to join Sir Robert
Stopford's fleet. Admiral Sir Edward Codrington's flag,
(blue at-the main), has been hoisted on board the Queen,
110, whither the whole of the officers and crew have been
transhipped from the Donegal, 78. A rumour is current
that she will be shortly despatched to .the Mediterranean
with the Royal Adelaide, 110, from Plymouth. The Sala-
mander steam-vessel, Commander Henry, is hourly looked
for from the eastward, with volunteer seamen for the Bri-
tannia, 120, and Howe, 120. The St. Vincent, 120, is for-
warding for commission at this dockyard with all practicable
despatch. The Indus, 84, will be the next ship commissioned
here. Several large razee 50-gun ships are in course of pre-
paration for the pendant. The locust, a new steam-vessel, is
commissioned at Woolwich by Lieutenant John Lunn, late
of the Pluto steamer, which is also ordered for service. The
Monarch and Formidable, 84-gun ships, will be commis-
sioned shortly at Chatham, every despatch being used in
getting them ready for the pendant.—Brighton Gazette.

TARDY SIGNS OF WAR.—An order has arrived from go-
vernment to place all the fortifications at Dover in a state of
immediate defence, in consequence of which his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports,
accompanied by Mr. Jenkinson, the deputy governor, Col.
Munro, commandant of the garrison, Col. Thomson, com-
manding the royal engineers, .Lord Maryborough, Lord
Fitzroy Somerset, &c., made an inspection of the castle,
batteries, &c., and selected the most appropriate places for
the placing of cannon. The citadel, and other parts of the
heights, will also be fortified as soon as possible. The bar-
racks have also been directed to be prepared for the recep-
tion of infantry and artillery to the number of 1,400 men.
The 34th regiment (the deptit of which is already here) and
the 66th regiment have received directions to proceed on
their route for this place.—Correspondent of the Courier.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GEN. SIR JOSEPH STRATON.—BV the
death of this gallant officer—one of the " spirits" of Waterloo
—which took place on Friday in Park-street, Grosvenor-
square, the colonelcy of the 6th Inniskilling dragoons, which
he held since April last, becomes vecant. Sir Joseph entered
the service in December, 1791, in the 2d dragoon guards, in
which corps he served two years and three months. He
purchased a troop in March, l 797, in the 13th light dragoons,
and the majority of the same corps in August, 1801. He
studied at the Royal Military College, High Wycombe, in
1804 and 5, from whence he obtained on his examination a
diploma of the first qualification, and was appointed to the
staff of the Duke of Gloucester. He accompanied his regi-
ment to the Peninsula in February, 1810, where he served,
partly in command of the regiment and partly as second in
command, for three years, and was in all the affairs and en-
gagements in which it
.during that time bore part. In June,
1813, the commander-in-chief gave him without purchase, in
reward of services, the lieutenant-colonelcy of the 6th dra-
goons, of which regiment he died colonel. In April, 1815,
he embarked with his regiment, and commanded it in the
commencement of the battle of Waterloo, until the fall of the
gallant Ponsonby, when the command of the brigade, con-
sisting of the Ist, 2d, and 6th dragoons, devolved upon him.
This brigade, with the brigade of life guards, blues, and king's
dragoon guards, formed the two brigades of cavalry men-
tioned by the Duke of Wellington as 'having particularly
distinguished themselves. Towards the close of the action
Sir Joseph Straton was wounded, and his horse wounded
twice. He received for his services the order of St. Vladimir
of the 4th class from the Emperor Alexander of Russia, and
was appointed a Companion of the Bath. In 1816 lie took
the name of Straton, his previous one being Muter. His
last commission of lieutenant-general bears date June, 1838.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—A se-
rious accident occurred on Sunday morning, about five o'clock
to the luggage train which left London on Saturday night.
At the time the train arrived at the Farringdon station, Mr.
Brunel, the engineer-in-chief to the company, was standing
on the platform, awaiting the arrival of an up-train to pro-
ceed to London. He observed that all the signals were cor-
rectly given by the several men employed at that part of the
line, and was naturally astonished at perceiving the train,
when within 100 yards of the terminus, approaching at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, the ordinary speed of a luggage
train in its regular progress along an obstructed line. In a
few seconds an accident of a most frightful nature occurred :
the train, proceeding at this rate of speed, dashed with tre-
mendous velocity through the engine-house, shivering to
pieces a coke waggon which stood there as usual, overturning
the two first waggons of the train, and shattering down a
great portion of the engine-house. The engine (the line of
rails not extending beyond the engine-house) soon became
imbedded in the earth. From the suddenness of the stoppage
the passengers carriage was forced so violently against the
tender that it was completely turned over. The fore part of
this carriage tilted up, and it completely doubled itself over
upon the timber truck. One of the passengers (T. Kitchen)
was thrown off upon the rail, and the other three were crushed
between the passengers' and the timber-carriage. Mr. Bru-
nel immediately despatched mecsengers to the several medi-
cal men residing in the neighbourhood ; and in a short time
after the accident, Mr. Mantell, of Faringdon, and Mr. Stay-
ley, of \Vantage, surgeons, were in attendance upon the un-
fortunate sufferers, who had been conveyed to the Railway
Tavern a short distance from the station, James Marlow, the
guard, and John Ross, the engine-driver, were both dead.
Marlow was found jammed amongst the timber, under the
passengers' truck ; and Ross's head was completely flattened,
a large portion of the scalp torn away, and his brains dis-
persed over the boiler, between which and the tender he had
been crushed. An inquest was held on the bodies on Mon-
day, and after an examination of all the witnesses, the jury
consulted together, and returned a verdict of " Accidental
death" in both cases, adding, that no blame whatever could
attach to the Great Western Railway Company or their
agents.

REGISTRATION FOR NORTH CHESHIRE.—We understand
that the Hon. Mr. E. J. Stanley is to pay the piper for the
radical expenses of the revision, a subscription amongst the
members of the " Reform Association" having utterly failed ;
and lie is therefore to be amused and reconciled to parting
with his cash by a pretended slaughter of hundreds of con-
servative voters, whom he will find alive and well in the poll-
ing booths when the day of trial comes. An article in the
North Cheshire Reformer is written in a style of swaggering
and braggadocio, which contrasts most ludicrously with the
dejected and crest-fallen orations which were made a few
months ago at the dinner given to Mr. E. J. Stanley, by his
radical friends. Mr. Tatton Egerton is threatened with a
" fearful reckoning" at the next election, for his votes on the
River Weaver Churches' bill.. Certainly his desire to afford
the poor neglected flatiL!en there a little religious instruction
on a Sunday ought to disgrace the house of Tatton for ever,
especially as that desirable object will be effected without
costing one Cheshire rate-payer a farthing. But bad and
desperate as the case may be, we question much whether the
electors of North Cheshire will not have a much more " fear-
ful reckoning" without the Hon. Mr. E. J. Stanley. The
Weaver Churches are a mere joke compared with the 10 per
cent., addition to the assessed taxes made by a ministry of
which Mr. Stanley is so active a member.—Stockport Ad-
vertiser.
