PEST.—The Chester Courant says the inhabitants of Frodsham and district are threatened with the visits of an insect as destructive to fruit trees as the Colorado beetle is to the potato plant, the goat moth having made its appearance in considerable numbers in three distinct places. TIIN winner of the first prize of 200,000 florins in the Austrian "Communal Letterie " is said to be Baron H rsch, of Paris, described as an unhappy man who has to make both ends meet on a pittance of 60,000 000 florins, or i:4.500 000 sterling. A man named Bet nard Bayer entered the banking establishment of the Rothschi,ds, at Paris on Tuesday, and after trying in vain to see the manager, tried to blow out his own iv aius with a revolver, but the bullet only lodged in his check. lie is believed to be out of his mind through un fortunate speculations on the Bourse. The Bishop of Rochester has a second time refused to confirm the appointment of the Bermoulsey Guardians of a ckaplain to the workhouse, on the ground that the clergyman in question has alrewly in his charge a parish of 10,001 souls. Toe bishop his of opinion that no beneficed clergyman should be nominated to fill the position of chaplain to a workhouse, as the inmates of such institutions in the declining years of their lives particularly need the ministratious of a chaplain. k'crataat OF THE LATE DEAN ON WORCESTER On Wednesday the remains of the Hon. and Very Rev. Granthau Idunton Yorke, D.D., the late Dean of Worcester, were interred in the Cloister Green, within the precincts of Wereester Cathedral. At the funeral service in the Cathedral there was a congregation of nearly 3,000 persons. the prayers and exhortations being read by the 11v. Sir G. F Lewis. At the grave the Bishop of Worcester concluded the burial service in a very impressive manner. Prior to the closing of the vault a number of relatives and friends deposited wreaths upon the ,fin. The great bell of tni Cathedral tolled &mini: the day, and many of the business establishments and private residences in the city had their shutters partialy  Mr. John Rylands has received the following letter from one of his tenants : "So long as I live my family shall never inhabit a house it' any stre-t or terrace bearing the ex,crAble name of Canny, —of most infamous memory—a rebel, a trAi or, s rrgicade, a usurper, a self-seeking ambitious hy 0 al• e and tyrant, a wholesale murderer of deienceless women and children (to wit, the sieges of Drogheda an.i Wexford), an arch enemy of the altar nod the throne (vide all English history). Th name is insulting to the loyalty and intelligence of the entire neighbourhood, and highly offensive to the great majority of the ratepayers, who have already most tmphatically expressed themselves to that effect" The writer enclsses notice of his intention to leave the house. The following reply has ben sent:—`• Mr. liyl dnis has requested me 0 acknowledge the receip of your notice to leave the house in Longford-terrace. H 4 is extremity sorry you should have got into such a :state of 'excite• merit about the alteration of the name in the street. In making it he had n it the remotest idea anyone would be so perversely ingenious as to twist it into an attack upon his religious or political convictions, as you appear to do in the remarks appended to your notice During a long life Mr. Rylands has 1! uniformly abstained from attempting to force his own re:igious and political opinions upon his tenants and servants, but he his equally opposed. to having other people's crot3hets on the subjects forced upon himself. His London residence is in Cromwell-road, Kensin ;ton, and -his circurn,tance alone sugLe‘ted to him the new name. Whatever opinion Mr. Eylands may have upon the merits of your objection to the noun-, he would d. eVy regret that you should think for a moment he intended to wound your feelings or any one else's in selecting it.—Yours respectfully, M. LorruousE "—Manchester Guardian.
