Mr. Howells, well-known amongst the amateur carvers of North Wales, has just passed away after a long and very severe illness. Another case of smallpox has broken out at Corwen, the sufferer a tramp, having previously visited Holywell, St. Asaph and Ruthin Work- houses. The remains of Mrs. Smith, wife of Mr. Samuel Smith, M.P., for Flintshire were on Saturday interred in Smithdown-road Cemetery, Liverpool. The shareholders of the London and North- Western Railway Company have given their approval to the adoption by the Company of the Holywell Railway. Mr. Alun Lloyd, solicitor, St. Asaph, whose name was recently struck off the rolls, appealed on Monday to be re-instated, and his application was granted. Mr. J. P. King, the organizer of the Chemical and Copper Workers' Union, obtained a verdict at the Liverpool Assizes for £100 against the Editor and proprietor of a St. Helens newspaper for libel in terming him a liar and a perjurer. A public testimonial is being raised for Mr. Edward Thomas, cattle dealer, Denbigh, who is said to have suffered heavily owing to the drop on the price of cattle. Over X500 have been already subscribed. The Lord Chancellor received on Wednes day evening a deputation of members of Parlia- ment who desired to urge that he would appoint magistrates for the counties without the inter- vention of the lords Lieutenant. Mr. Herbert Lewis presented the case for Wales. it io oaid that it ia doubtful if the Welsh Suspensory Bill or its Scotch sister will be heard of much more this Session. The strong ex- pression or disapproval of the Suspensory Bill which has arisen from all parts of Wales, has occasioned no little discomfiture to the Government. The University boat race, which took place on Wednesday in splendid weather, and in the presence of an unprecedented number of spectators, resulted in Oxford beating Cam- bridge by two lengths. The time from start to finish by the winning crew occupied 18 minutes 47 seconds, which is the quickest on record. Professor Tyndall, who is now in better health, writing to a correspondent from Hind- head House, Haslemere, in reference to the Home Rule Bill, says it is a terrible muddle, and had not the extraordinary influence of Mr. Gladstone impaired the wits of the people of Great Britain, the Bill would be trampled on with contempt. The Royal Commission to inquire into the condition and circumstances under which land in Wales and Monmouthshire is held, occupied and cultivated will consist of Lord Carington (chairman), Lord Kenyon, Sir J. T. Dillwyn Llewelyn, Mr. D. Brynmor Jones, M.P., for the Stroud Division of Gloucestershire; Professor Rhys, Bursar of Jesus College, Oxford; Mr. Edwin Grove, chairman of the Monmouthshire County Council; Mr. Frederic Seebohm, Mr. Richard Jones, and Mr. J. M. Griffiths, Mr. D. Lenfer Thomas, barrister-at.. law, will be secretary of the Commission. Mr. H. Fowler in the House of Commons on Tuesday introduced the parish councils bill, the object of which was to make further provision for local government in England and Wales. In rural districts the parish at present acted through its vestry, but he ventured to say that vestries and overseers were decrepit survivals having the form but not the power of local government. The Government therefore pro- posed that in every parish with a population of over 300 there should be a parish council elected annually by men and women as registered electors, to consist of not less than five or more than fifteen members, the election/to be by ballot. The Council would have /to appoint overseers, to take over the nonecclesiastical duties of churchwardens and vestries, to work the allotments act more effectively, to acquire land for the building of public offices and for public walks and recreation grounds, to deal with matters affecting the rights of way, and to accept gifts for the benefit of a parish. Power would be given to hire as well as buy land compulsorily for allotments, and in such cases arbitration would be simplified, and nothing allowed extra for compulsory sales. Dealing with district councils, he said all property qualifications would be abolished, women as well as meD would be open to election, and boards of guardians and highway authorities would be done away with, and their duties transferred to the district councils.
