Mr Humphreys Owen in the House of Commons reply- ing-to suggestions to the oontrary, considered that the Welah oolleges gave full value for the monay voted by PMMtBMat. As to the &! e?Mtcn that they were not National Webb colleges, although there was a certain number of etadeuta from Rog?nd and Sootland, the great preponderance of i :tbe stadeuts were Welsh. -In Bangor Ocl age. for ^stance, out of.613 students since the college was toandect.ontyiaioame from outside the Princi- 11 ,pality. It was also shown tbat the numbers of students attending tbe colleges ware very much smaller than those attending the colleges of Eushid and Bcotttnd bat ths) excessive number in British colleges was obtained by countingiu the !evenÑ1 students, and to ,a great extent the exteo- Bior, students. f 4 compariBon was to be made the day students attending the Welsh oolleges would fcave no reason to be aahanud of tbeir num- bers aa .compared with the English callegoo. Ja England and Sootland, excluding London, the aveiage Attendance of students of this olass was 335, 111 Wales the corresponding nam bar was 227. It they took the population of England and Bcot- land and .compared it with the population of Wales they wonld find there was a larger propor- tion of daf atodents attending Welsh oolleges than English. Taking the number of students who attended more than three coursetof !ectares,or more than 125 hours in the oourse of tbe academical year, he 6>und that the uambers were-in Euglaad and Sootlaud, 197; apinst.07 in Wales. He considered that for the purposes of University higher educa- Boottaud, the ?u: roge6 rather excella ttie Englibb tion the Welsh oolleges rather excelled the EnglUh oollogem than fell short. It had been said tbat tba Welsh oolleges ware over-stated but, if anything, they were under-manned, and the proportion for the professors who bad taken degrees was large compared with the number of students. These facts clearly showed that the House got thorough value tor the grant they mads to these oolleges. SCOOBM I gooom 11 gooonu r! I What i W, O. Will lama's Sale.

m BUTSIN SCHOOL. I The following letter appeared in the Times of Monday last Sir,-Ou- attention has been called to a circu- lar dated May, 1888, and sigsed by ns, stating tnat Ruthin School was undenominational, and that the pupils were not sulijeot to any religious test. We used this word simply to indicate the fact that we received into the school children of Churchmen and Nonconformists alike, and we never meant to oonvey the ida that the distinc- tive religious character of the school was to be abandoned. The word: undenominational did not convey the aume meaning to us winch h 8 been since put opon it. No one antoipated that aD attempt would be made to take posses- sion of our Church school through the We sh Intermediate Education Act. Your obedient servants, W.

Welsh Museums. In the House of Commons 'on Monday night, on the Soienoe and Art vote, Mr J. H. Lewis pleaded that in justice to Wales the should have her share of the museum grant. So far as education was oonoeraod, she waa now a separate entity, and on that ground she was entitled to be treated on the same footing as Soot- land and Ireland. He waa proceeding to urge the desirability of a museum of autiquitier and a national library for the Principality, when he *as interrupted by some laughter from i he Conservative benches. He remarked tbat he did not 8-*0 tbat 4bis was a subject for derision. Mr Bartley (aid that the-o institutions were as much wanted in otuer parts jof England Us in Wales. Mr J. H. Lewis: But WaItt ia a nation. Mr Bartley: Wher* ia the capital ? Mr J. H. Lewis: If Wales is not a nation, then I am not a Welshman (laughter). Sir William Harconrt said he Mt that if be entered at any length upon the subject he should be breaking the engagement he had made with tbe House. He did not think it could be said that. Wales had been neglected by the present Govern- ment. He bad reoeived three deputations this year from Wales to ask for pecuniary assistance from the Treatury, and be had conooded their request in every case. He gave £4000 to the oolleges, and 210,000 to Aberystwyth, and he made aRrant towards the new university. That he thought was good enough for one nart of the country. Theclaima of Wales in the matters referred to by the hon. member would be considered in a liberal spirit. Mr J. B. Lswis said he did not imply that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had negleoted the olaims of Wale., but there were certain directions in regard to which no grants whatever bad been made. The vote was then agreed to.

The Cataloguing of Welsh Manuscripts. Mr HXBBBBT Litwii, in the House of Commons on Thursday, drew attention to the Publio Record Office, which, he said, contained a large mass of document* relating to Wales, which were uneaten- dered and unindexed. At the present rate a verv long time must elapse before the necessary work of calendaring these manuscripts could be completed. All be asked now was that iu any future appoint- ment that might ba made at the Public RscordOffloe the claims of Wales should be considered. He -as informed that neither in the Publio Record Offios nor tbe BritishMuseum was theressingle official wh. knew enough Welsh to understand the place-names and other Welsh words which occnrred in these documents preserved at the Publio Record-office. Educationists in Wales were constantly called for production of good Welsh history. Without df5. paraging in any way the efforts of those literary Welshmen who bad in the past written histories of their CIOuntry,h might say that there was at present no Welsh history written from the modern critical standpoint. Only the other day one of the most distinguished historians in tbe country lamented this fact. He said that if he wanted to know the rela. tives between Owen Glendower and the Pope he knew where to find the materials. If he wanted to know the relations of the Welsh ohieftain with the King ot franoe he knew where to lay his bands upon the necessary information. He could even discover his relatiotis with the Spanish pirates, but when he osms to the relations that existed between him and the Coort of England he was entirely at a IOKS for the neoessary materials. The need of Wales in this matter was a speoial needand a good history of Wales oould not possibly he forthcoming until the mater"al to which he bad refarred bad been colleoted and ind^xe'. To show the real interest that was taken in this question he might mention that a private sooiety had undertaken the publica- tion of specimens of the Ruthin in-oonrt rolls, which-threw a flood of ligtt upon the social usages of the people during the middle ages, and yet It had been left-foriik Welsh society to undertake the expense and the work of publishing these docu- ments. He onty asked the Finanoial Seoretary to the Treasury to oarefully consider in any future appointment that might be male the claims of Wale. and that during tbe recess, or-eirly next ye r, be would aonsent io meet a deputation of W:Iob educationisto tooonsider the praoc.l steps to be taken to carry out the object they had in view. Sir J. T. RIBBSBT promised at an early day TA confer with tbe keener of the Pirblio Record Ofloo upon the subject. No doubt the papers to whioh the hon. member had referred were of the greatest interest, but, of conrw, they wonld have to take their torn with the other valuable paoera to be dealt with by the Kecord Office. As the offline would have the asnietance of two Welsh-speaking gentlemen to calendar the Welsh mannsoriptu, be hoped this par- ticular matter would be expedited.

Grand Bazaar at Trefrtw-1 Let brotherly love continue" must be a. prevailing sentiment at the picturesque village of Trefriw. On Wednesday we attended the opening of a three-day grand bazaar there in aid of the funds of the Ebenezer Congregational Chnroh. It was inaugurated by Colonel Higson, Plaa Madoc, who described himself as a "High Churchman and a Tory," and was under the patronage of Alderman Samuelson, Messrs P. Mclntyre, T. Dutton, J. Pain Daries, John Judford and Joaeph Coventry, most of whom, if we mistake not, are Churchmen and Con- servatives. We were told that Mr Mclntyre "had been most kind" in assisting the move- ment, also several other prominent residents. Ebenexer was erected in 1891 at an outlay of IE1740; but a house and vestries have been added subsequently at a cost of £550, so that the debt, after the raising of M200 up to 1891, amounts now to:CIOOO. The following is a list of the bazaar officers and stallholders RXRCUTIVE COMMITTER. I Chairman, Rev. Peter Price, Trefriw; secre- tary, Mr Herbert Hughes, PlasCoch, Trefriw; treasurer, Mr John Roberts, 2, Rhiwlas Villa; Mr James Buchan, Mr Henry Nottingham, Mr Thomas Williama, Mrs Hughes, Plas Cooh; Mrs Evans, Vedw Cottage; Mrs Barker, Ty'n- y-berllan.

We must compliment the management upon the pretty appearance of the hall. It was really tasty, and all the stalls looked well. Colonel HIGBON, who was accompanied by Miss HLison ?rriv?d at three =, aad was introduced -to the assembly by the pastor. In declaring the bazaar open, the Colonel said he had been informed that sixty years ago they worshipped in that hall, but it became too small and inconvenient, and through the kind- ness of the grandfather of the present Lord Ancaster, they erected a chapel at a cost of EW; that became too smalf, another was erected, which in its turn required enlargement; and he congratulated them upon their success. Of aonrse they could not expect to slear off the £1000 debt at one sweep; but they must not be daunted and bear in mmd the adage If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." Rev. P. PaiCK moved a vote of thanks to Colonel Higson and Miss Higson for their pre- sence. That was not the first time he had ex- perienced the kindness of Colonel Higson to Nonconformists. Tnat day he had given them a perfect example of what Christians shonld be to each other applause1. Mr E. D. HITOHRS seconded the resolution, and was certain it would have been difficult to get a gentleman of Colonel Higson's position to get a them sixty years ago, because Nonconfor. mity at that timu in Wales was looked upon in a different light to what it was now. He had conversed with Colonel fiigson,and found him to be a thorough Christian gentleman (applause). Colonel HIGSON thanked them on behalf of his daughter and himself. He was afraid he could not lay claim to the manygood qualities th-y had attributed to him. He was a High Churchman and a Tory, but he believed in every man exercising his own judgment, and wor- shipping in his own way. f the sentiment were generally acknowledged there would be less bickering, less jealcusy, and less dissatisfaction than at present. The religion of Jesus Christ was not worth much if it "id not teach them brotherly love; and if a man went to church or chapel three times on a Sunday, and the next morning tried to see how he could do his neigh- bour,he was not a Christian. He thanked them very much for the warm reception they had given him, and wished the bazaar every success (ap- plause). The s'allholders then plied their various avo- cations to the strains of the Trefriw String Band, under the leadership of Mr Thomas Wil- liams.

Has Hushes, wife of tbe Ber. William Hughes, prinoipal of the Congo Training Institute, Oolwyn Bay, died on Monday alter a week's painful Ill. nomie, She was tbe second daughter of the late Dr. Hugh Jones, President ot Llangollen Collage. Her loss will be regretted by a large number of friend*, especially by the African stadeuts of the iastftat*.

I ITORTE WALES CALVINISTIC j METHODISTS ASSOCIATION. I ANTICIPATING THE WELSH CHURCH DISESTABLISHMENT. The quarterly meetings of the North Wales Calvinistic Methodists Association were opened on Wednesday at Pwllheli, under the pre- sidency of Rev. John Roberta, Tai Hen. There was a large number of delegates present. A vote of sympathy was passed with the Rev. W. Dickens Lewis. D.D., Oswestry. — It was reported that the next association would be held at Newtown.-A discussion took place upon the questions that every church should be under pastoral charge that ministers should be more localised in their sphere of labonr, no itinerancy, that the ministers should'devote their whole time to the work 'and receive better pay, and that the system of making appointments for preach- ing before hand to such an extent as it existed at present be discontinued. Remarks were made by the Revs. Thomas Roberts, Bethesda; Griffith Ellis, M.A., Bootle; T. J. Wheldon, B.A., Bangor; J. Williams, Rrynsiencyn Hinton Jones, Shrewsbury, ite. The Rev. John Williams maintained that in some districts there were preachers who were not ministers of any church, neglecting the week.nl* ht services. The Rev. William James, B.A., Manchester; in proposing a vote of thanks to the committee who had charge of tho question, said it would be well for the Calvinistic Methodists and other denominations to prepare themselves for the great change that would in all likelihood take place when the Church in Wales would be dises- tablished, as there were many districts unpro. vided for At the evening sitting the secretary (the Rev. John Owen, Mold) explained the message from the Flintshire Monthly Meeting calling atten- tion to the number and position of its weak churches, a great number being under 60, and owing to the decrease in population and other c^u-es, were suffering from want of supervi- sion, and they asked for some advice ana help in the matter.—After some discussion the ques- tion was referred to a committee. I "cntnuiTDD." The Rev. EVAN DAVIES, Trefriw, spoke at s'¡me length on "The national revival in its influence on our country," and dwelt upon the many phases of the question with regard to the moral, social, political, and educational life of the people,and the responsibility devolving upon the leaders of religion in consequence. He main- tained that the revival was not,as some asserted, the work of interfering and self-seeking agita. tora, but bad been brought about by the un. flagging efforts of their forefathers. Religion bad far greater share in its development than some were willing to admit. They should not discard the revival if its object was to elevate the natural life, for it had done a great deal for education. At the aame time they should be able to meet the scientific knowledge which showed a tendency to disparage religion. The speaker felt that they ought to do something in regard to religious instruction, which of late had been more general than it had been in the past. As to politics, the religious leaders should take interest in them in the sense that they ought to possess the right of legislative and administrative powers without doing harm to anyone. There were many over-anxious to cry out Cymru Fydd," but his advice to many of them was Do some work as well" (applause). He regretted the aspersion cast by some mem- bers, if not some of the leaders, that ministers did not do anything for the majority of the people, and he unreservedly would say that they could not look upon any leaders as being true leaders unless they showed respect to the religion of Christ. Toe Rev. Daniel Rowlands, M.A., Bangor; Mr Thomas Lewis, M.P., the Rev. T. Roberts, Bethesda; and others followed. The proceedings were continued on Thursday, the Rev. John Roberts,Tai Hen, the Moderator, presiding. The Rev. Professor Hugh Williams^ M.A. (Bala), read a paper on the "Sacraments," and his remarks as to the mode of baptism created a sensation. He said that Scrip- tural baptism meant immersion, and thlt infant baptism was only a permission. He said that an alnlt, upon being baptised when making an open profession and ,onfession of Christ, was regenerated in baptism. An infant was only half-baptised, and its baptism would not be complete till the child had become an adult and bad made a personal profession of Christ. The Rev.W. Juncs, B.A., Manchester, agreed with must of Professor Williams's statements. The Rev. ROBEET WILLIAMS, M.A., Llan- llechid, was astonished at what had been said, and was quite prepared to hear an offer made to amalgamate the connexion with the Baptiste. The Rev. T. J. WHELDON believed that Pro- fessor Williams had not said anything but what < ould be found in Charles' Dictionary, &c. Yet Mr Wheldon was desirous of having further elucidation of some points. The Rev. THOMAS OWEN, Portmadoc, an ex- Moderator, protested most strongly against the opinions exprebsed by Professor Williams, and would not support any motion to publish the paper. T e Rev. R. H. MOBQAN reported that he had collected end banked t9000 towar, a Baia College. Hisi Daas (India), Miss Kate Williams (Pwil. heli), and Vr. Oswald Williams (Chester), the missionaries who are going out to I-idia shortly, were introduced by the Rev. Josiah Thoraa* the aecretary of the Missionary 3aciety, to the meeting and in the evening they addressed a crowded meeting st Penmount Chapel. Ihe Rev. R. Gray Evans, Wisconsin, and others from America, were latrodnood,andwers most warmly reoeived.

The tin gee. gee." is a very pretty little idyl, and talus wonder. fully at his popular entertainment, and the refresh- ment stall does a brisk trade, especially in the- evening, when the 2a and Is auppsrs are a hnilh. ing feature. The R.8.P.C.A. is determined to show in Llan- dadno what it has long sines proved elsewhere, that it is not merely a prosecuting society but also re- wards even the most hnmble efforts to ameliorate tbe condition of the animala it protests. A move, ment is on foot here to shortly reword the marked and exemplary good conduct of a o-rtain donkey boy to his boast--& quadruped fortunate above its fellows in having S) bamane and manly a driver. This is a step in the right direction it will be followed by others equally sensible, and with the new blood lately introduced, I prophesy a bright and healthy vitality, as yet unkcown, for the noble sooiety in tbis neighbourhood. Apropos of the same subject, it cannot be too widely kaown that the Animal World has jusii published par- ticulars 01 a £50 prize to be given to tbe inventor of the most humane rabbit or vermin trap; and I rejoice to think that the consideration of scientific braina and practical Christianity will be given a snbjeot, too often thrust npon the ignorant, the callona or the hyper-sentimental—the three great- est enemies God's dumb creatures possess. It is but fitting that my final pargraph in these oolumna should be in connection with the society which has my warmest sympathy; and I coaple it with my farewell of Llandudoo, and the public who have borne with my journalistic utterances to gently, and, on most subjects, so sympathetically, I thank them all now, for the very kind expressions of their interest and approval which have reached me from time to time, and have been a great encouragement to me. I also take this Isat oppor- tunity of thanking most heartily all the subsoribera to my handsome testimonial, of whioh I am justly proud. Time is short, bat memory is long; and thongb my fareirall may be brief, tbe remembrance of Llandudno, a very affectionate remembrance, will aver be Wlt!1 me. Ta. BANGo.

'On Thursday tbe bazaar was opened by Lady Mostyn, Moiktyn Hall, who referral to the deep interest she took in all that oonoorned the welfare of LWndndno.

Bat be was there as the chief ?:.tisea of Conway to represent the good feeling of the Con- way people toward* Llanrhos parish, a greater part of which was sitnato in the ancient borough. He considered it the duty of leading ciUz-ma to come forward on an occasion like that to do honour to the Mostyn family, who were renowned for their good deeds in all charitable objects, of which he in bU capacity of Mayor could well speak. He alto considered it the duty of every Welshman to come forward at a time when the Church was threatened by oppeut.-be would not oilli them Chriltianl- and support the unity of tbe Church in England and Wales (applause). He hoped they would open their purse airings in auoh a good ohi-ot as that bazaar, which would result in aohuroh which would be an additional adornment to Llandudno, and wonld show her opponents that the Churoh was alive to her duty (apph.as«). The Rev. D. JONIS, Llaogt-rniew, seconded. The Churoh was going through a orisis, but he believed it was gmog through it snooesstollv. The laity wer* doing their utmost to support, aot ooly iy good words, but good deeds (applaum-). Tile VICAB stated that the RECEIPTS on Wednesday were A257 6s, aad the total receipts up to Wediles. day evening about £9CG. Yetteiday (Friday) Lady Augosta Moityn opened the bazaar.
