Pollock, William Isaacs, of Alum Bay, fisherman, said, I knew the deceased. He, with bis family, came here on the 1st instant. Yesterday morning1, Sunday, about 5 45, I saw him go our of tin's house.

He was aloiie, and went up the road towards Tot-Jaud. On tiie pre vious Friday morning I had seen him go out verv early. Samuel Watson, of the Coastguard station at Totland, said I have kuowu deceased by sight two or three years. About9.15 yesterday morning I was sroiug along Totland Cliff, aud saw a body, fuee downwards, floating on tbe water. I went down wnd'er the cliff, and drew the body out.

of the water, and then went for assistance. The place where I found the body was not the usual place for bathing. The tide bad then been flowing about tfcree hours. There is a good where I found the body. There was a fresh breeze, but the sea was not rough.

William Hayruan, chief Ifoatinan of the Coastguard TTTLa "SfT i FT ence recognised it as that of tbe deceased. Deceased's clothes were found in a bathing machine at Totland Bay. abou" five bundled varls from where the body was found. There was ai jetty there about four hundred yards from tbe body. Witness had often seen deceased jump from the jetty.

Deceased was a very good swimmer. About 6.30 yesterday morning there could not have been more than five feet of water at tbe jetty. nd the drop to the water was about fifteen feet. Witness thought it dangerous thing to jump off the jetty into such shallow water. Mr.

Herbert Taylor, practising at Freshwater, said he was called to see the body about o'clock on Sunday at the boat-bouse in TotL.ud Ltav. On making au external examination of tbe body he found an excoriation over the nose, and a very slight bruise over the left eyelid, bat no further evidence of violence. The expression ot lie tace was calm. be neck was not broken. Could not s.iv that be died from any injuries.

Did not think that it was possible he could have died from any injuries sustained on reaching the bottom, without its being apparent in an external examination. Thought the injuries sustained were sufficient to render deceased unconscious, and that death was caused by drowuiug. Bdmnnd Curry, of Bromley, Middlesex, deceased's brother-in-law, said he had been staying with deceased during the last few oays. Deceased, a good swimmer, was talking of bathing on Saturday evening.

There was a small attendance, owing to Brit-ford fair and harvest operations in the district. The supply of wheat was chiefly new, and the majority of the samples were very heavy, ranging from 12 score 14 lb.

This fair, the largest, perhaps, with the exceotioH of Wilton and Weybill, held iu tbe South-Western counties, came off on Tuesday, and drew together a large number of tbe principal flockuiasters and dealers of this and the adjoining counties. It was a much larger fair thau last year, wbeu tbe prevalence of foot and month disease id the effect of diminishing the supply to the extent of 30,000 or 40,000. It is computed that from 80,000 to 100,000 sheep were penned, princpally lambs, notwithstanding that Britford is geuerally considered more a fair for ewes than for lambs. Business was quicker than at Tan-hill, and some 3s a head better, but still the price of ewes was from 6s to 7s, and that of lambs from 9s to 10s a head below that obtainable last year. Tbe general figure for ewes ranged from 50s to 58s ordiuarily good lambs fetched about 42s Chilver lambs were in request at high prices, 46s to 48s a head.

There were very few wethers, but one lot realised 56s a head. TOPICS AND MID-WEEKLY GENERAL NEWS. The General Election. The Times, at the close of its first leading article on Monday, says A general election may come sooner than wo expect, and though a fair interval must be allowed for recreation, candidates will find it prudent to be within easy reach of the constituencies they mean to woo. The autumnal gatherings of local societies agricultural and others will be assiduously attended, and what has been called Parliament out of session" will be almost as prolific of speechmaking as Parliament at Westminster.

The Ministerial Changes. The Standard Bays there could hardly bo a more striking proof of the weakness of the Ministry than the manner in which they have recast their parts and reorganised the entire political arrangement of the Treasury in order to avoid the necessity of asking any constituency (except Birmingham) to re-elect a Minister of the first or second rank in short, to avoid any contest which would afford an undeniable test of public feeling towards them. The New Bishops. The Spectator fears the Premier is forgetting a little that the Established Church is a National Church, and must not be reduced to a single not very popular sect. No one will object to his translating Dr.

Harold Browne, the Bishop of Ely, to Winchester, for Dr. Browne is not an extreme man, is much trusted in his diocese, and for thought and character, for scholarship and brains, is not out of place as the immediate successor of Dr. Wilberforce. But to give the throne of Ely to Canon Woodford, well as he has succeeded at Leeds, is surely a mistake. He has Cambridge in his diocese, he is a decided High Churchman, and he is by no means a man reticent about his views.

We have not much sympathy with Evangelicals except as most sincere men but a very large section of the Church, and a very much larger section of the people, still adhere to their opinions, and ought to be remembered. Her Majesty ha3 conferred upon Mr. Bruce tho title of Baron Aberdare. Prince Arthur has received from the King of Denmark the decoration of the Order of the Elephant.

This season apples are in general an abundant crop; pears only middling, plums under the average, but abundant iu some parts of Leicestershire cherries thin, except Morellas, which are a full crop everywhere; peaches aud nectarines a very poor crop, except in Leicestershire, where they are plentiful apricots a total failure almost everywhere, the wood not having been properly ripened lastautnmu in consequence of the heavy rainfall, a remark which also applies to peaches and nectarines, and indeed to many other kinds of fruit trees. Bush fruit that is gooseberries, currants, and raspberries very fine and abundant everywhere strawberries heavy crops, and the fruit of fine quality nuts and filberts and irregular crop, good in some places, bad in others figs generally good walnut generally a deficient crop, but extra heavy in Lincolnshire grapes on walls good damsons an entire failure almost everywhere, but in Worcestershire very plentiful in one or two daces. In addition to the ill-ripened wood, all sorts of stone-fruit crops were very much injured this year by the twelve degress of frost which occurred on tbe night of the 19th of May, while the deficiency in the pear crop may be referred to the frosts on the nights of the -6th and 27th of April.

Peach and nectarine trees were also greatly injured in spring in some narts by blisterm and mildew. The Garden. The British United Order of Oddfellows. The delegates attending the annual legislative council of the above Order assembled on Tuesday last, at the Queen's Head Hotel, Sheffield, under the presidency of the Grand Master (Mr. Crookes).

Resign ATI on op a Bishop.

-The Right Rev. William George Tozer, D.D.,has resigned the Bishopric of Central Africa, to which he was appointed in 1863 on the death ot Bishop Charles Mackenzie. D. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel will recommend a successor for the approval of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Thb Nbw BI3HOP op Ely.

The Rev. Canon the newley-appointed Bishop of Ely. will, in all probability, if if tbe formalities can be ia time, be consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury on Mouday, November 8th, being the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The usual" Conor-mation service will he held a day or two previously in the parish church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside.

A New African Bishopric A uew bishopric has been formed for British Kaffraria, and the Rev. D. Callaway, a Missionary of the Church of England at Spring Vale, Natal, has been named as the first occupant of the see. He will probably be consecrated by the Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. The diocese will be between tbe Colonies of the Cape ami Natal, and be in extent equal to tUe whole ef England.

Dr. Callaway was some years ago au eminent surgeon in Southward The Baldachino" Questioh. The application for licence to erect a bald chiuo" iu the parish church of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, has encountered opposition from ft considerable number of parishioners.

Barnabas's was distasteful to a large number of the congregation. Dr. Tristram granted a week for the statement of ob-tions. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND TEMPERANCE. Since tbe meeting at Lambeth Palace this spring, the Church has oeen taking active measures to stem the tide of Intemperance, and cultivate Temperance principles.

The Bishops, Archdeacons. Rural Deans, City and parochial Clergy, Synods, Congress, 4c. have, at their meetings, discussed this question in relation to its beariuKS ou the Church. England's Drink Bill, hist year, was not less than 120 millions but nearer 134 millions, or upwards of for each man, woman, and child and nearly twice as much as the imperial taxes. This is truly alarming and it therefore behoves the Church and all Chris-t an bodies to raise their united voices against such au expenditure fraught with so much direct and indirect mischief.

A society, directly connected with the Church of England, is in operation at 6, Adam-street, Adelphi, Loudon, under tbe presidency of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York with Sir Harcourt V. H. Jouustone, M.P., and Canon Ellison, Wiudsor. as chairman, and the Rev. A.

The society propose working diocese by diocese inviting each to preach on "The Sin of Intemperance," form societies, 4c. Alreadn the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishous of Exeter and Gloucester have sanctioned this mode of proceeding and other Bishops, it is hoped, will invite this society to work in their dioceses. There is both IJ, a Total Abstinence and 2, Temperance Section of the Society and with tbe 17,000 pulpits connected with the Church, and a flourishing society for the northern province, at Manchester City-buildings, Corporation-street Mr. Antrobus, sec tho society hopes to be the means of effecting much good, in rescuing tr drnukurd, restraining thb occasional inebriate, and so removing many obstacles iu winning souls to Christ.

Sincerely do we wish the society well, and glad are we to bear of such active measures within the Church of England, to check that which, unless in some measure stopped, may prove an unmitigated evil to the country at large. THE BISHOPS OF MANCHESTER AND WORCESTER ON CONFESSION. The Bishop of Manchester, iu acknowledging the receipt of m- 1 rour.lnHr.na of. t. nnlLonnfuigmnnl mf, beltl at Birmingham on the2tth writes at some length on the 0f the resolutions.

Hesavs that no intellieeut and nious Christian can do otherwise than lament the present uu- happily divided state oi Christendom, which hinders the success of Christian effort iu countless ways but to lay out plans of re-uniou between any Church accepting the principles of the Reformation and the Church of Rome, which, iustead of aliatiu deliehts to aeirravate tbe arrosrancv and anscrintnral of pretensions which ma ie tbat Keformation a social and religions necessity, appears to him to be the very idlest of oc- cupations the most hopeless of enterprises. Englishmen are not likely iu this day to impose again upon themselves a yoke which their forefathers found intolerable. Sorry as he should be to restrain the permission now given in the Praver book to any one unable to quiet bis own conscience to come to some discreet and learned minister of God's Word and open his grief," tbe Bishop snys he has always regarded, and still regards I the practice of habitual or compulsory confession as most de- moralizing to tbe individual conscience, and, as all history proves, fruitful or the mo3t miscuiev-jus consequences to priest and penitent, aud to society at large and there is nothing that he should more profoundly deplore, as a taint likely to vitiate the whole social atmosphere in which we live, than the naturalization of any such system in the Church of England.

I have laid good foundations, and I have fought hard against many enemies with an absurdly small force, resulting in annexation of all countries including Unyoro, which extends to the Equator. Not only have I had to contend with the natives, but the so-called traders broke into open rebellion and attacked the Government troops treacherously, in force, when in the interior. These I routed with the loss of half their party.

My entire party was in danger of destruction by poison when in Unyoro. Tbis diabolical attempt was made by the King, who attacked us with immense forces ou the following morning at daybreak. I had only 105 men, but we gained the battle of Masindi and annexed the country. I have established stations and forts, and the countries are in the bauds of the Government. The natives pay their taxes cheerfully throughout large districts.

His head was frightfully Tti5 other sufferers are doiuu well. The resemblance of this accident to the oue at Wigan is borne out by tho fact that the points were found set in tbe right direction tlicy are no the pat cut inter-locking principle. The traffic was but slightly delayed.

THE TICHBORNE TRIAL. The trial was resumed on Mouday, when Mr. IL-nrTUj pro-; ceeded with his speech to tho jury, and continued ins rajji-meuts upon tbe defendant's examination, which, lie said, although it contained numerous errors, and many deviations from the truth," yet established the identity of biaelienfe by his knowledge of circumstances known only to Roger. Indeed, he ingeniously used the very blunders and errors of lient a3 so many proofs of his houest carelessness and fr front craft or cunning, which would have led him to get up tbe facts more carefully. Alluding to the Brighton card-case, be uiid he should for tbe present puss over, as lie was not yet ful.v in pos-1 session of the information he ahout it.

With rVerence to the marks of bleeding ou Koer, Mr. Kenealy st ved he 1 should prove (in opposition to tbe ovidedce Mr. Hadea, who examined defendant's temples in court, and said there was no bleeiling mark upou either of them) tbat there ift fc bleeding mark upon the temple of the defendant. A Undine to Roger's stay iu South America and the visit to Meilinilla, which is denied of Roger, though it is an admitted fact as t. tiiede-, fendant, Mr.

Kenealy showed from Roger's letters th-i possibility of a visit to that place, and ho taunted th pi voecutiou I with not having called Moore and Jules Berau both of whom were called at tho trial Moore for the Claimant and Beraud for tbe other side. As to Moore, bowovrr, the Lord Chief Justice reminded Mr. KeDealy that ho had been called for the Claimant the last trial; on which Mr. Kenealy observed tbat he did not kmw whether be should able to call Mooro or not, though, in answer to tbe Lord Chief Justice, he said he believed he was iu rhis country. As to Beraud.

who also entered Roger's service at Lima as vslet, and was with him at Rio, Mr. Kenealy observed that Mr. Hawkins had intimated be would be called for the prosecntion (if he arrived in time), aod hat he would have been a most impc rtant witness on tbe question of tbe tattooing, as ho must have seen Roger undressed and he again pledged himself riy destroy the whole tattoo theory utterly aud entirely. He pointed out that on tbe 5th of June, 1871. the Atrorum General olicted from the Claimant that, he was not tattooed, and that two days afterwards Mr.

Bowker wrote to Lord Bellew for information cn the subject, and Lord Bellew wa3 not sure that ho ha 1 not made thi marks, though now th case was that thev were made in Brittany, aud had always been known to family and from these circumstances Mr. Kenealy insisted that he had a ri-ht to infer that the whole case as to the tattooing was "got up" after the date he had mentioned. At the a jourument Mr. Kenealy had not eTon half got through his comments on his clieut's cross examination, aud the Court and jury iu vain endeavoured to elicit from hitn some idea as to how much longer bis speech, which has now lasted 13 days, would he continued. Iudeed, ho fr.iukly told the could give them no idea when it would conclude During the hearing of theca.se some very arm language way exchanged between the Bench and Dr.

Kenealy. The latt -r, replying to an observation from Mr. Justice Mellor, said' ha would not be taught by him what was the couduct of a jreutle-man and the Lord Chief Justice remarked that he wo dl not allow a member of the Beueh to be addressed in thn tone. Just before the adjournment a juryman asked Dr. lienealv when he was liltely to finish, and the Doctor said be coal 1 not tell, whereupon another juryman stated that he was very ill.

and was sitting there at great inconvenieaco aud at a los of 20 a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LEWES RACES. SATURDAY.

Disgraceful Scene in a Church. A disgraceful scene took place on Mouday at St. Simon's "Church, Salford. Three weddiug parties entered the church simultaneously, and' the majority of persons composing them, especially the women, appeared to have been indulging rather freely in liquor.

The man was wearing his cap at the time, and only removed it at the bidding of the clergyman. At the conclusion of the ceremony the same bridesmaid led off a dance op- posite the vestry door, and went capering along the aisle while the certificates were being signed iu'the vestryg vest, and we have now really commenced our gatherings in earnest, samples of new wheat having been already exhibited for short delivery of very fair weight and appearance, and we may I speedily look for many more, if prices meet the views of 1 farmers.

Trollope, in the last instalment of his Phineas Redux, now appearing in the Graphic, draws the following portrait of a Master of Hounds, which forms at once a parallel and contrast to the above picture of the ideal Whip It is essential that a Master of Hounds should be somewhat feared by the men who ride with him. There should be much awe mixed with the love felt for him. He should be a man with whom other men will not care to argue an irrational, cut and thrust, unscrupulous, but yet distinctly honest man one who can be tyrannical but will tyrannize only over the evil spirits a man capable of intense cruelty to those alongside of him, but who will know whether his victim does in truth deserve scalpin" before he draws his knife. He should be savage yet good-humoured severe and yet forbearing truculent aud pleasant in the same moment He should exercise unflinching authority, but should do so with the consciousness that he can support it only by his own popularity. His speech should be short, incisive; always to the point, but nover founded on argument.

His rules are based ou no reason and will never bear discussion. Ha must be the most candid of men, also the most close and yet never a hypocrite. He must condescend to no explanation, and yet must impress men with an assurrance that his dec sion will certainly be right. He must rule all as though no man's special welfare were of any account, and yet most administer all so as to offend none. Friends he must have, but not favourites.

He must be self-saeri6cing diligent, eager, and watchful. He must be strong in health, strong heart, strong in purposed strong in purse. He must be economical and yet lavish generous as the wind and yet obdurate as the frost.
