THE P.aitin0it{(^|tre JJlerlht. NEWPORT, SATURDAY, MAY 16,1868. THE spontaneous concurrence" which has brought about the present political situation is among the remarkable events of our time. This concurrence, upon which Mr. GLADSTONE did much to fasten public attention by the use of the phrase we have quoted, is, however, in the public estimation, not precisely what it was represented by the ingenious leader of the Op. 0 p position. Whatever may be said as to its dis- ingenuousness, no one can doubt the policy, of j the attempt to show that the advocates of the dis-establishment of the Irish Church in this country are engaged in a work similar to that which occupies the opponents of the Concordat in Austria. The subtle device of representing both parties as striving against tyranny and corruption, and this without even a hint that it was possible to discriminate between the com- parative merits of the institutions assailed, was worthy of Mr. GLADSTONE. It went, as such devices frequently go, upon the pleasant assump- tion that both in England and in Austria the patriotism and the virtue are exclusively on the side of the assailants. So clearly (to them at least) is this the case, that the grave wonder is that the systems against which their assaults are directed should have continued to exist for a moment after the light of Liberal sentiments fell upon them. We have not a word to say on behalf of the Concordat, or of any other device by which a decaying Superstition vainly seeks to hold cer- tain European States in subjection. We say, how- ever, that such a point is not pertinent to a Par- liamentary debate upon the Irish Church ques- tion and its introduction in connection there- with was calculated rather to obscure than to elucidate the matter at issue. Whether this was designed or not, those of our readers who have read the debate to which we refer will be able to judge for themselves. It is clear, how- ever, that if Mr. GLADSTONE had described himself as in spontaneous concurrence" with the Liberation Society an other advanced a- dicals he would be nearer the mark. Mr. GLADSTONE, though choosing to exult in a spontaneous concurrence" with the opposers of the Concordat, was not quite buld enough to say that the political aggressions of Rome and the Protestant Church in Ireland are evils of equal magnitude. Who knows, however, how soon he may be prepared for this conclusion ? Notwithstanding his tardiness in coming to the front as a champion in the cause of justice to Ireland,"—albeit he allowed years of of- ficial opportunity to pass away without moving a finger or uttering a word for the mitigation of Irish grievances,"—since the Conserva- tives have been in office the passion for Church Reform has grown upon him, until now, with the force of a monomania, it impels him to egregious lengths of Kadioalism and self-con- tradiction. We do not say that the mo- nomania of the right hon. gentleman is Irish Church Reform it would doubtless be more correct to affirm that this is but the aspect under which his mental disorder exhibits itself. The real disease lies deeper, and is scarcely discernible by the unpractised eye. Whether it be a characteristic of some disorders, or whether the cause is to be sought elsewhere, it is certain that persons labouring under given diseases exhibit a strong objection to make known the nature of their maladies. Mr. GLADSTONE may be placed, for the nonce, among this class. His true disorder is Desire for Place his almost frenzied fervour on the Irish Church question is but a symptom. Men who are accustomed to watch the incidents of Parlia- mentary conflict-the straws that show which way the wind blows—have little difficulty in detecting a feeling stronger than his sympathy for Ireland—a passion which neither respect for Constitutional principles nor for his own opinions deliberately recorded, is influential enough to repress. BURKE once said-" The great virtues are rare. The occasion for them seldom happens. When it presents itself we are prepared for it by everything preceding we are excited by the consideration of the great- ness of the sacrifice. We are supported in it by the glory of the action which we do before the eyes of others, or by the complacency we have in ourselves when we make an effort which we think extraordinary." As we have hinted, the assumption of all political virtues by the Liberals has been conspicuous enough in the course of the debates on the Irish Church and Mr. GLADSTONE has notably endeavoured to persuade the country that he has fallen upon one of those occasions for their exercise which, according to BURKE, seldom happen. Whether, in the contemplation of his scheme, be has been excited to action by the consideration of the greatness of the sacrifice," it may not be easy to determine. This much, however, is certain that in his case the sacrifice has been one of no trifling description-no less, indeed, than the abandonment of long-cherished and long-pub- lished convictions-a loss, borne with a tranquil- lity almost amounting to hardihood, of all poli- tical consistency. England," said Mr. GLAD- STONE, before his Radical proclivities had begun to show themselves, is a Protestant State: she ought, therefore, to uphold the Protestant religion. What does that mean ? That while we respect the antiquity and the practice of the Church of Rome we also assert the right of pri- vate judgment and the independence of the human mind. I trust that the Church which J retains the just authority of the Christian Church-which teaches the Scriptures and the unadulterated truths of the Church of England -will never be overthrown by a House of Com- mons. It cannot be destroyed except by the vote of a recreant Senate and an apostate na- tion." We fancy we hear some earnest Protes. tant cry, Bravo, Mr. GLADSTONE," as he reads the last sentence we have quoted. It must sadly lessen his satisfaction to remember that the speaker, the Mr. GLADSTONE of 1835, is not the Mr. GLADSTONE of 1868. The propounder of these eminently Constitutional doctrines, then opposing a Liberal attack upon the Estab- lished Church in Ireland, is now hounding on a recreant Senate" to itsdis-establishment. The destruction of that Church, then his abhorrence, is now his chosen work, and that, not upon the plea that the Irish Church is not zealously pro- secuting its mission, but because, forsooth, it is the Church of a minority. To revert once more to the sentiment of BURKE, if the right hon. gentleman be not ex- cited by the consideration of the greatness of the sacrifice, he may, at all events, be supported by the glory of the action he does before the eyes of others, or by the complacency he has in himself in making an effort which he deems extraordinary. To weaken the Royal supre- macy and undermine the Protestantism of the Constitution now appear to be small matters to a statesman who once upheld the one and the other with singular pertinacity. It remains to be seen whether an apostate nation" will en- dorse his recreant policy.

THE ALEXANDRA DOCKS.-At a meeting of the promoters, held in London, on Thursday, it was resolved to out the first sod on Thursday, the 28th inst. We are not informed that any arrangements have yet been made for a public demonstration, but we opine that the in- habitants will not suffer the event to pass by without duly manifesting their sense of its importance. The ceremony will, we hear, be performed by the Right Hon. Lady Tredegar. TiiADE OF THE SOUTH WALES PORIs.-The ex- ports of steam coal for the month of April show a favourable iDorease as oompared with the corresponding mooih of last year, the greatest increase being at Cardiff. Large quantities were sent to the mail packet statlollll and French markets, the demand from the latter steadily increasing. The following are the reo turns for the past and corresponding month of last year April, 1868. April, 1867. Tons. Tons. Cardiff 182,415 143,089 Swansea. 62,973 45,278 NE"PORT 28,880 22,962 Llanelly 18,310 12,806 COASTWISE tDe anipmenta also show an increase, and at Newport nearly double the quantity was shipped to that in the month of April, 1867, notwithstanding a great number of the colliers in that district have been on strike. The following is a comparative statement of the shipments coastwise:— April, 1868. April, 1667. Tons. Tons.

VICTORIA ROAD CHAPEL.—After being closed for six or eight weeks, during which time considerable alterations and improvements have been effected, the Victoria Road Congregational chapel was re-opened on Sunday, when sermons were preached in the morning and evening by the pastor, the Rev. H. Oliver, B.A., the pulpit being occupied in the afternoon by the Rev. J. W. Lance (Baptist). On the sueoeediug evening, after tea haif been served in the school-room, a public meeting was held in the chapel under the presidency of the minister Mr. Oliver, by whom, as also the Rev. Mr. EJwards (Mill-street), Mr. Henry Phillips, and the Rev. P. W. Darnton, suitable addresses were delivered. During the proceedings Miss Baker sang with exquisite taste and judgment, her powerful and well-modulated voice being heard to great advantage in a building whose architect (Mr. A. O. Watkins), has received boundless eulogies for his admirable acoustic arrangements. The selection which Miss Baker favoured was 11 Samuel's Prayer," from the oratorio Eli," and a better choice she could not have made. But while thanking the fair vocalist for her admirable rendering, we must not omit to give some praise to her youthful accompanist on the organ, Mr. Ernest Ewins, who promises to be an accomplished artiste. About JE200, we understand, has been expended on the renovation of the building, from JE50 to jE60 of which sum has been incurred in the improvement of the orgun-a work which was entrusted to Mr. Vowles, of Bristol. The re-painting, repairs of building, and plas- tering was undertaken respectively by Mr. Heffer, Mr. J. D. Whittaker, and Mr. Needs. NEW MERCANTILE MAP OF THE WORLD. — We have tecently received a copy of a map of this desorip :ion published by Messrs William Collins and Co., of Glasgow. The size, 55 by 40 inches, affords ample space for clear and detailed delineation and, from an examination of the work, we perceive that this circum. stance has been fully turned to account. It answers, at a glance, any inquiry that is likely to arise as to the principal sea-ports and towns, their geographical features and boundaries, population, area, &o. From the exten and character of the information it comprises, this map must necessarily prove of great value for reference in the merchant'd counting house, and in the offices of per- sons engaged in the shipping trade. The justice of this rematk will be seen from the following synopsis of its principal features All the States, kingdoms, and em- pires of the world are exhibited, by the aid of colour printing, in a clear and distinct manner, with their tea- ports and principal towns, showing the most recent changes of boundaries, and also the latest geographical discoveries; the British empire, and its Colonies and dependencies, are printed in one colour, and are further particularised in a tabular form at the bottom of the map and to this are added eighteen enlarged maps of British Colonies and ports. There are tabular lists of the Overland and other routes from England to the east and west, with the distances in miles, and the time in days the recognised steam and sailing routes to and from the principal ports of the world, with the distances and average time the principal overland telegraphs, submarine cables, and main lines of railways, are olearly thid down. In addition, it shows the currents of the ocean, the northern and southern limits of icebergs and drift iOt, the northern and southern limits of permanent human inhabitation, &c. In the execution of the map, the art of colour printing has been admirably employed -the work of reference being thus rendered easy and speedy. As will be seen from an advertisement, it may be had either folded in a case or mounted on rollers. We shall but do what the merit of the work deserves in adding that we have not seen anything 10 good at the prioe. THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE BOROUGH BOUNDABy.-It will be perceived bjr our report of the Town Council meeting, held on Tuesday last, that a de- putation was appointed to proceed to London at once to take meaiures to secure, if possible, an alteration in the proposed borough boundary, so as to include the site of the Alexandra Docks. The Mayor, the ex Mayor, Mr. J. Brown, and the Town Clerk had an interview with Col. Poulett Somerset, M.P on Wednesday, when the hon. member undertook to move to add words, which would accomplish the desired object. The Boundary Bill was, on Thursday evening, referred to a select committee; and we understand that the Council will be in a position to press their views, and will accordingly urge the further extension of the proposed boundary to a line beyond the site of the projected dooks. ERRATUM. In the report of the proceeding. against T. J. Jones and another, at Gloucester, last week, Mr. J. Cross is erroneously stated to be manager of the National Provincial Bank at Newport, instead of manager of the Provincial Banking Corporation. VOLUNTEER APPOINTMENTS JOB Nzxr WEEK.— FIRST MON.

J. Groves. The gentle- man whom it is designed to honour has,by the frequency with which, <he has rendered gratuitous aid to local institutions, established a strong claim to favour. We therefore cannot doubt that the ocoasion of the concert on Thursday next will be seized to demonstrate the public appreciation of his services. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.—We are much pleased to hear that the strike among the colliers of this county may be considered virtually at an end. We understand that a meeting of the men was held on Thursday, at which it was resolved to resume work on Monday next. This will be acceptable news for the tradespeople of the district, and a great advantage to the men themselves. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETy.-On Sunday even- ing, the Rev. Dr. James, of Panteague, preached a ser- mon at St. Paul's church, and a collection was made in aid of the funds of the Church Missionary Society. On Tuesday evening the annual meeting of the St. Paul's Auxiliary was held at the National Schoolroom, the Rev. J. T. Wrenford presiding. The room was crowded. After singing and prayer, the Rev. Chairman briefly opened the proceedings by expressing his increasing attachment to the Church Missionary Society, and urging his hearers to manifest tbeirappreciation of its thoroughly Protestant and Evangelical principles, and the mode in which its affairs are conducted, by contributing more largely to its support. He then read the financial state- ment, from which it appeared that the collections at the last anniversary amounted to JE11 la. 6}I., the subscrip- tions and proceeds of their missionary boxes making the total inoome JE35 9s. 6d. The incidental expenses amounted to P.1 9S, 6d., and £ 34 was remitted to the Parent Society. The Rev. W. S. Price, returned missionary, moved the first resolution, as follows .—" That the measure of success vouchsafed to the operations of the Church Missionary Society, calls for devout gratitude to Him who alone can prosper the labours of His servants, and render them effectual to the extension of the Redeemer's kingdom throughout the earth." The rev. gentleman confined himself mainly to a narrative of the society's operations in India, where he himself had laboured, and gave many encouraging facts illustrative of the progress of Christian missions. His diffusenees, however, rather marred the interest of the meeting, inasmuch as it was nearly nine o'clock when he sat down, and consequently the succeeding speakers were necessarily unable to do justice to the topics which they had undertaken to dis cuss. The Rev. Canon Hiwkins seconded the resolution. The Rev. S. F. Morgan, of Chepstow, in a very pertinent address, moved, and the Rev. S. Fox seconded, the next resolution-Ie Tbat this meeting desires to record its unshaken adherence to those great Scriptural principles upon which the Church Missionary Society was originally founded and upon which its operations are carried on." After a few closing remarks by the chairman, the meet- ing terminated with the usual devotional exercises-a collection having been made. THE LATE REV. HOWELL WILLIAMS.-—A very handsome tablet has just been placed in Machen Church, to the memory of the late Rev. Howell Williams. The base, supported by two moulded corbels, is of the finest Silicia marble, the table and moulded oornice (enriched with carving) being of the same quality, and the whole fixed on a black ground. It bears the following inscrip- tion :—"Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Howell Williams, Incumbent of the Parish of Henllys, and Curate for twenty-nine years of the parish of Machen. In the general discharge of his pastoral and social duties, as well as in the fulfilment of the office of Vice.Chairman of the Newport Union, be proved himself a faithful guardian of the poor. a kind and sincere friend, and an obliging neighbour. He departed this life, beloved and regretted, May 26th, 1866, aged 64 years."—The tablet was supplied by Mr. J. C. Jenkins, sculptor, Stow-hill, Newport. 'N NEWPORT CRICKET CLM.—The members of this Club commenced the season on Thursday, when a matoh came off between the Head Quarter Wing of the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers (with Fessey) and eleven mem- bers of the Club. The weather was splendid, and an unusually large number of spectators assembled on the Marshes, to witness the game-the company in- cluding a numerous sprinkling of ladies, and the ground presenting a very lively spectacle. The presence of the fair sex had evidently been anticipated, as their comfort was studied by an ample provision of seats. By the per- mission of the officers, the Band of the 23rd played a choice selection of music during the afternoon. Re- freshments were dispensed by Mr. J. L. Southall, of the Queen's Hotel, in a tent, erected by Mr. Williams, of Bridge-street. Play commenced at 11.30 a.m., and con- tinued, with a brief intermissioa for luncheon, until about six o'clock. The Fusiliers having won the toss, went first to the wicket, and quickly ran up a total of 56 runs The Club, in their first innings, made 71, and thus headed their rivals by 15. In the second innings, the Fusiliers obtained 67, leaving the Club 52 to make to win, which they did with the loss of five wickets. Sub- joined is the score:— FUSILIBRS. FIRST INNINGS.

The de- ceased was one of the founders of the above-named Order, and always evinoed the most lively interest in its prosperity, and hence, very justly rose to the highest degree possible to be attained. His loss will be greatly felt by his brother officers, to whom he always displayed a spirit of justice and impartiality. He died beloved, esteemed, and deeply lamented by all who know him.

On Thursday evening a public meeting was held at the Town Hall, for tbe advocacy of temperance principleil- The meeting was addressed principally by ministers of the Wesleyan denomination, who have been attending the District meetings he'd this week at Newport. The Rev. E. Shelton occupied the chair; and the other speakers were the Mr. Hack (Crickhowell), Rev. J. D. Thomas (Risoa)* R°harts, Mr. S. Harse, and the Rev, Mr* Wiitbmgton (Hereford). There was a tolerably good attendance, and the speeches embodied many cogent arguments in support of total abstinence principles, albeit ene or two of the speakers admitted that they were not identified with any temperance society. MARINE EXCURsIONs.-The new and well ap- pointed steamer "Huzzai" has duiing the week made a number of excursion trips to Ilfracombe, Weston-super- Mare, &c, all of which have been well patronised. The Hussar" promises to become a favourite boat for plea- sure parties during the summer months.
WESLEYAN METHODISM.
WESLEYAN METHODISM. The annual meeting of the Wesleyan Methodist ministers of the Bristol District has been held this week in Newport, Between 50 and 60 mini,ters were in at- tendance, the Rev. Dr. Waddy, Chairman of the Bristol District, presiding. The smaller assembly-room at the Victoria Buildings, Bridge-street, was engaged, and the business was commenced on Tuesd .y, continued on Wednesday, and conoluded on Thursday. On Wednesday when the business was principally financial, a consider- able number of lay officers from the different circuit. in the district, assembled with the ministers. The business of the meeting comprised a review of the state of the respective societies in t'.e district, religiously, numerically, and financially, wi h inquiries as to chapel and school buildings, alterations of premises, the con- tributions to and demands upon the Connexional funds, &c. From the subjoined labuhted statement it will be seen that some progress in numbers has been made in the Bristol District, while the returns from the Connexion generally show an increase of 479.5 members, with 20478 on trial for membership. The returns from the Chanael Islands, Devonporl, South Wales, North Wales, Notting- ham and Derby, Lincoln, and Ed nburgh and Aberdeen.
