THE SUICIDE OF THE DEAN OF BANGOR.  Our Ruabon correspondent telegraphed last night: The Dean of Bangor, the Very Rev. Henry T. Edwards, M.A., was found dead in his bedroom, at Ruabon Vioarage, on Saturday morning, under most distressing circumstances. The Dean had been staying with his brother, the Rev. E. W. Elwards, vicar of Ruabon, during the put fortnight, to recruit his health, and had for sometime been in a most depreesed state of mind. Finding the Dean did not come down to breakfast on Saturday morning, his bedroom was visited, when the lifeless body was discovered suspended from the bedpost with a leather belt, one knee on the room floor and the other placed upon the bed. The sad news has been received throughout the Principality with profound conaternation and grief, the Dean being held in high esteem by both Churchmen and lioncoeformiste. It was known that the Dean had been unable Inputs* or conduct services for the past mix months, having been suffering from typhoid fever and gene* debility. Latterly he had been affected by sleeo leafiness and nervousness, and was greatly depressed in spirits. On Friday he attempted to procure poison from the local chemist and druggiet, and had to be refused repeatedly, and bad been eloeely watched by his friends for some days prior to his end. He had recently returned from a lug endue in the Mediterranean, but had derived little benefit from the trip, and a short time before his death he had expressed the belief that he would never recover from his protracted illness. The Dean was in his 47th year, and leaves two children, having been married twice. Numerous telegrams of sympathy have been received. The Very Rev. Henry Thams• Edwards was the eon of the Rev. William Edwards, vicar of Llangollen. He was born in 1837, and married first a daughter of Mr. David Davis, Maesyffyrion, and secondly a daughter of Mr. John Jones, of Treanna. He was vicar of Aberdare from 1866 to 1869, and of Carnarvon from 1869 ki 1876, when he was appointed Dean of Bangor. He was the author of "The Victorious Life," "The Church of Cymry," "The Exile and Return," aed other works. Until his recent illness he was a very active preacher, and was very popular in all parts of the Principality, being considered one of the most eloquent speakers connected with the Welsh Church. ,

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. (From the Fanner.)  Easter has made a break in the markets, and may be taken to have divided the winter and spring campaigns. The winter season, which may now be regarded aa quite over, is the history of a long series of disappointments for grain holders. Prices have made a slight upward movement on two or three occasions, only to be followed by a reaction which carried value black to its former position. There have been in addition at least two periods of depression not followed by recovery, so that on the whole campaign prices leave off lower at the ending than they were at the opening. Holders of wheat confess to loss, holders of barley confess to loss, holders of oats confess to loss, holders of pulse confess to loss, holders of maize sonless to loss. The record, therefore, is one of uniform discouragement. The present positron of England is radically unsound upon the agricultural question. The farmer is entitled to live, but with present prices he is living upon capital and not on earnings. The end of each a course cannot be far distant.  The depression which hm recently prevailed seems to be in no wise lightened by the smallness of imports. So much is in hand. so mush is on passage, and so much is promised that buyers pay very little heed to the itotual arrivals of a particular week. Of wheat the arrivals have not equalled 200,000 qr. since March Ist, nor have they equalled 100,000 qr. since January sth. No week this year has received as much as 100,000 qr. of barley.  Wm. Thomas, a cripple, was remanded on Tuesday, at Birmingham, charged with the wilful murder of a woman named Hollis, and with attempting to commit suicide.  On Monday afternoon the steam and wind mills of Mr. Barker, Sutton, near Hull, were destroyed by fire. The premises are insured for £1,500, but that amount will not cover the damage.

ONE WHO HAS TBIED IT.

Now comes the meet curious part of my experience. After the first feeling of torture, which I admit, was decidedly severe, I lost oonsoioneness. I seemed to be transported 4nto Nnew world, more beautifal than anything imagined by the poets. I was swimming, methought, in a sea of oil. The feeling was exquisitely delicious. As I swam easily and without effort through the liquid mass I noticed au off an island of the most glorious emerald green in colour. This it woe my with to reach. I swam lazily and contentedly on. The sea kept every instant changing its hoe, though it remained of the same substanoe throughout. At one instant it WAS • Mae of gold, as though the can wee shining bridiantlyilon it. The next moment it ware vivid blood red, but there was nothing terrible or digusting in this new oolour.

HOW DECISIONS.  Mr. Hannay has created a new precedent. We read that on Monday a prisoner was brought before him on a Oars(' of being drunk and incapable. The report goes on to say that the mare. face was terribly bruised,either from tumbling about while drunk, or from fighting. iThe case having been proved, the magistrate inquired of the chief gaoler whether he had a looking-glass in his room. On being informed that he han,the gaoler was ordered to take the pvisoner and show him his face, and then liberate him, Mr. Hannay remarking that if that exhibition was not a warning to him, he did not know what would be. The prisoner was accordingly shown his disfigured face in the giros, and discharged. After this, it is quite on the Cards that we shall shortly read of such instances as the following "John Jones was yesterday charged before Mr. Balguy with attempting to commit suicide by drowning. Mr. jtalguy thereupon rernoveil the sitting to the yard enjoining the court, and directed the usher to take a bender in the water butt. This was done, and the chief usher presented such a drowned appearance, that the prisoner with tears in his eyes stated that if Mr. Bahl maid let him go he would never attempt Bush foolis action again. Mr. Balguy accordingly discharged him." 'Peter Smith was charged yesterday, before Mr. Flower'., with being concerned with another person not custody in picking pockets.

NOVPL ACTION. A rather novel action hat just been compromised by the Greet Northern Railway Company. Some tim. since the Rev. James Pooley sent Luna, a very valuable Point- r hitch, to be served by Mr. George Lowell celebrated stud ring Tory. The hitch WIIP sent in a travelling hamper, and instead of heingodelivered in it, was taken out at the station and walked to Mr. Lowe's door, where she escaped from tbe por'er and remained at large for abont a week, when the railway ceineany recovered her. The rev. gentleman discovered that she had been nerved by several I does, and at once applied to his solicitor, Mr. Adcock, of Birmingham, who commenced the action against the company for the injury to the hifch, which has just been cornPrmnieed by the railway company. W. believe this in the first action which has ever been brought in respect of such on injury, and the settlement sheave that the cause or action was well conceived, and that in doggy litigAtien it it well to have C lswver who is al•o an expert in canine matters.—Live Stock Journal  brain. A roux weeks' Gospel temperance mission was con. eluded in Sheffield on Saturday night. For three weeks the mission was conducted by Mr. R. T.
