SNiVEESITX 'COLLEGE RALL. j STATEMENT BY THE LADY STUDENTS. I [To TBI EMTOR.) J Stia,-We were exceedingly astonished and indignant at certain false btatementa made in a local paper with reference to the University College Hall, Bangor. Whence Mr Lews obtained his information we cannot imagine. He states that we are subject to absurd and galling rnles," and treated 11 in a spirit of suspi- cion like nuns in a convent," abd, lIinc we are' the best authorities on the matter, we feel that 'we cannot let such statements pass unheeded and, therefore, we women students of the Hall, one and all, give them 9Ur emphatic denial. We have very few rules here, and these we feej .neither absurd nor Ratlin? they are practically such as exist in every well-regulated home, and they are never enforced in a 11 capricious manner "-a statement which has also been made in another icsue of the same paper. We regard the Hill as a very happy home, and the attitude of our Lady Principal to us, and oars to oar Lady Principal, is that of, perfect trust and confidence. Signed by six senior stodents on behalf of the students of the Hall, MARY E. BitvtiqoToN. LILIAN DALLRY. MABY O. ASTLKT. KATR DAWSON. MABQABKT EARLW. TJAVRA M. SPKNCRB.

Hence it was found neoesgary to secure; tbe Penrbvn Hall, wher" there is amnte aoeom- modation for performers and aud ienci". Theourtain rose upon a neatly arraneed group of ohildreo, who sing with mueh sweetness the oborus" When the morning," <to.

After an interval, "The tale of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp" was unfolded by Miss Olwen Rowlands, of whose capabilities we have had the pleasure on seveeal occasions of speaking In laudatory terms. The tableaux were nsrvelbusly well Arranged, and the perfnrmanoe redounds to the credit of all the members of tbe sebool. Tbe scenes were: -1, Telling the Tale; 2 The Descent to the Cave: 3.

Thirteen choirs from Chester, Dolgelley, Cefn- mawr, Acrefair, Carnarvon, Cileain and Manoott (Hawarden) will take part in the fourth annual Christmas Eisteddfod on Monday next at Chester. The latest name associated with the vacant living of Doleelley is that of the Rev. Llewelyn Hughes, B.A., of Portmadoc. No appointment haf, however, been made, although the candi- dates are siid to be as plentiful as blackberries in the autumn. They mean to celebrate Christmas on board the Clio Tralninsr Ship in eood old tvle. The vessel will he decorated, and the boys have arranged to srive a dramatic entertainment on Monday afternoon after enjoying their roast beef and plumpudllinll. Anent Sir Llewelvn Turner's letter in the last i-sue of the North Waltl ChrtnioU we make the following extract from Mr Josiah Hughes's work, Australia Revisited — 11 After breakfast I walked down to the wafer aide, and waa astonished at the extent of land reclaimed from the sea, by depositing the silt got up by the dredging operations in the channel between Dnnedin and Port Chalmers. To those who are acquainted with the City of Bangor the work here done can be easily understood. Suppose a (tone sea wall constructed from the extremitv of Garth Point to the extremity of Port Penrhyn Quays; suppose also a veries of powerful etsam oranee with long projecting arms and wlf opeoins nctvitorg loottsd alnnll the Hlrael mad flit, and a ceries of barile trafficking between these and the powerful steam dredges in the channel. The silt is lifted from the bargea by the cranes and depo- sited behind the sea wall, there to form -pl-nAlA land on which great foundries and manufactories bave been ereoted, together with wharves, docks, eheds, warehouses, Ac., transforming a miasmatic nuisance into a valuible municipal estate. Wh- ever I went to day I was reminded of the beautiful surroundings of Bangor. I went up to the elevated suburb of Moruington by the cable t,amway, I I gradient steeper than would be rrquiied in a straight oonrae to reach the top of Bangor Moun- tain. From this elevation the illusion "a" most complete. Looking over the town which lay to the hollow the duplicate of Upper Bangor was seen, with the M-nai Straits and Anglesev b-yord; on my "IlWt WAil Hirael and its mnddy flat, being transformed into the bnaieat part of the city. on which the railway station was situated convenient for the stiipoing and the town to my left was thA Bangor Valley aa it extends to Qlanadda And Car- narvon. Port Chalmers also ia represented bv the town of Carnarvon, only that at Port Chalmers there are no shiftiog sand banks and treacherous shallows, hnt a tI"bll!1 breakwater and plenty of depth. The resemblanee between these two eities and their anrroondings is o,v remarkable, the only difference being that Dunedin is on a much larger scale, the straits and vslleys are wider, tbe hills are higher, the streets, publio btildiogs, squares, gar dans, warehouses, and bnsiiefg pre- mises are more numerous and Importsat. Never- theless, the similarity remains, and t'icee not acquainted with Banger will pardon tl S local oompaneou."

of mobbing the victor and his wife aDd later they worked up in the most unscrupulous manner a cam against him for the purpose of unseating him. Sir ftyoz has the satisfaction once again of turning the tables on his enemies. Similarly, the Conservative member for Stepney retains his seat notwithstanding the efforts that were made to get the election declared void. In Ireland the election of Mr DATTTT for North Meath is still « subject of judicial inquiry, and is therefore Hot a "fit matter for comment at the present time, but the shameful practices of the 'Catholic priests in the soot hern portion of the 4same county invalidated the election of their pet. The Judges held that this pressure which the priests brought to bear upon the "illiterate" ,electors was enough to make the ejection void. The Catholic clergy of South Meath, from the Bishop down, threatened the faith- ftil" with the pains of the damned if they did -not vote straight. It is an instance of bow men go the wholi way when once they have started on the downgrade. In comparison with the disgraceful prostitution of religion for political purposes as practised by the Roman Catholic olergy of South Meath, the political interference of the Welsh preaohers may seem very innocent. But the moral of the revelations of the South Meath trial should surely not be lost npou the Velsh people, especially such as remember the religious literature "which was circu- lated in Merthyr Tydfil when Mr PHITCHARD MORGAN first contested the seat. It was a Baptist preacher who then put the "Lord of Hosts right in the van of the Home Rule Party and who prophesied that the inhabi. tants of Pandemonium would rejoice if the I caucus sustained a defeat.
