I saw her at the Alexandra Pal ice l ist week, playing with the charm and "go" of a girl of twenty, and keeping an audience in roars of laughter with her Woman's rights song, as if tha1; very character- istic porformance had only been seen list week for the first time. Mrs Howard Paul is not orily a good actress, but she is a good woman, a hospitable hostess in htr pleasant home in Regent's Park, and a credit to her sex and profession*" Mrs Paul will appfar at the Queen's Hotel Assembly Room, Aberystwytb, on August 14 and 15

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. CARBIBB.-Neither highway nor county ioad surveyors have any right to allow heaps of road scraping to lie at the road side until they are grass grown. The course to pursue is to summon the offenders before the magistrates, who will deal with them. There is scarcely a road in the district not rendered highly dangerous by the practice of leaving these heaps on the roads year after year. VISITOR.—Tbe reason why we make a charge for publish ing lodging houses is that in abont nine or ten towns where this paper circulates every house almost takes in lodgers during the summer season. To pretend to get a com- plete list of visitors from about 3,000 houses was absurd. In order to find out regular lodging houses and to reduce the list to a system, we have adopted the plan of regis- tration.. The fee is a nominal one of 2s 6dfor the season, and does not by any means cover the cost of publishing the list. Registered houses are advertised week after week throughout the season, whether they have visitors or not.. In a year or two lodging house keepers will se the advantage of a system which keeps them prominently before -she public. Houses may be registered by forward- ing the fee to any of our agents.

POLITICS IN WALES. So complete is the political stagnation of the hour that even in Wales, where burning questions are usually as plentiful as sand at Barmouth, .indifferentism now prevails. A proposal on the part of the Conservative Government to repeal the Great Charter extorted from King John would not at the present time cause anything beyond a passing sense of uneasiness. In Cardiganshire, as everybody knows, we have excellent reasons for desiring to see trial by jury abolished, but that cherished palladium of our liberties might be removed without fear of Peterloos or Hyde Park riots. After twenty years meditation it is generally admitted that the Crimean war was a blunder, but just now the country would be allowed to drift into war in support of Turkey, if the Government were so disposed, notwithstand- ing the speeches of Mr HENRY RICHARD to the contrary. In times of great political activity the speeches of Mr HENRY. RICHARD are perhaps read by some of his admirers, but now be speaks to a dull-eared constituency. There may be fast- nesses among the mountains where village politicians are still haranguing audiences gathered from far and wide on the Burials Bill, the 25th Clause, and the Disestablishment of the Welsh Church. Wales went almost mad a year or two ago over the 25th clause of the Education Act. Many of the most hearty detesters of this clause never understood it, but their political guides told them it was the symbol of oppression, and they began to. howl, without stopping to enquire whether there was any real grievance behind all the sound and fury. The reactionary majority who do the bidding of Mr DISRAELI in the House of Commons have this session passed an Edu- cation Bill, which will give real support to de- nominational schools. Dissent has been set at defiance and flouted openly. Those who hated Mr FORSTER without a cause and voted for Con- servative candidates on the ground that they did not believe in Mr GLADSTONE are having real grievances prepared for them. The Issachars of Wales who have carefully prepared their own burdens will not be allowed to crouch down but will be goaded on by their masters. The Conservative plan of making things pleasant all round, by providing a needy aristocracy with sinecures, increases taxation but something like two years ago was not economy driven out of power by the painful cries of starving office seekers ? We do not believelthat the rank and file of Liberals are a whit better than Conserva- tives as regards expenditure, but Mr GLADSTONE, Mr JOHN BRIGHT, and Mr ROBERT LOWE, are men who by cutting down useless extravagance roused not only those actually in the enjoyment ot national money but all those who had hopes of reversions. The Prisons Bill is a fair sample of the way taxpayers are imposed upon by the Governing Classes. This bill by placing prisons under one management and by abolishing useless gaols is calculated to save the country not less than half a million a year. The Bill has been biiterly opposed by the squirearchy of the country not because it is defective but because it robs them of one of their cherished rights. The Bill interferes with the patronage of magistrates and must therefore be opposed. There are governor- ships of gaols and other offices in the gift of the magistrates which they and their poor relations have held from time immemorial. Interference with these appointments was resisted with all the force possible, and the fact that overburdened taxpayers would be benefited by half a million a year was ignored. A national debt of 750 millions is believed by the ignorant to be so good a thing that the Conservatives have invented a process by which a sum of about three quarters of a million a year is paid off and three millions is added The plan is marvellously simple. To borrow money to pay debts is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The debt costs the country about twenty-seven millions a year in interest, but what is that to a nation that has ceased to take interest in its own existence. The national debt affords the rich an excellent investment, and is in many ways a convenience for which the poor pay. National indebtedness is not a subject likely to arouse that interest in politics which has steadily declined since 1868. The stimulas to renewed action will be found in acute national pain rather than in chronic suffer- ing however great. Government will eventually 0 y blunder upon a tender spot with its heavy heel and spur the nation onward to acts of growth and puiification. In the meanwhile stagnation must deepen even in Wales. Once a year Liberation societies will trot out their platitudes political agents will make sham fights in registration courts once shining lights will flicker and die. Real political life will only be found ia Tory head quarters where new reactionary measures are manufactured year by year down to the precise degree of Liberal apathy. The landowners who compensated farmers for the cattle phgue and who have protected them against foreign compe- tition by restrictions on the importation of live stock will next proceed to the re-imposition of a duty of a shilling a quarter on foreign corn. There is still room for a good deal to be done in the way of re-action. We may live to see the paper duty re-imposed after the work of abolish- ing School Boards has been accomplished. The happy condition of the Established Church may be increased by the encouragement of pluralism, simony, and other things which in former times were called abuses, and dissenting deacons and ministers may make increased efforts to train their sons for holy orders. We offer our readers any consolation to be found in the fact that there I is yet a good deal of ground to travel over before all the reforms slowly won through the centuries I have been fetched back from us.

CLEARING ABERYSTWYTH STREETS. The Town Surveyor at the last meeting of the Aberystwyth Council called attention to the ob- struction every market day on the footpath near the Corn Market by a man who sells crockery. This man pays a toll of five shillings a week to the lessees of the Corn Market who claim the footpath-or at any rate three foot in width of it —as private property. Mr THOMAS GRIFFITHS, a member of the Council and a joint lessee of the market, contended on Tuesday with a good deal of warmth that the footpath was included in the lease granted by Nanteos to the lessees. A reso lution to clear the footpath was lost by a majority of oue in favour of an amendment, moved by Mr GRIFFITHS and seconded by Mr J. R. JOKES, not. to interfere with the way business is conducted in the town on market days. Mr GRIFFITHS more than once asserted that the lessees were determined to fight the town on this question. Whether the Surveyor exceeded his duty in calling attention to the obstruction or whether he acted on the sug- gestions of a third person are questions compara- tively of little importance. The clearing of the streets has evident" entered upon a new phase. The battle new to be. is one that will test. the pcwfcr and get at iest for ever doubts as to rights in the public iiiuico.^hfares. of ib* to".rn. The Covr: by a cf cue, virtually resolved on TuescLj a portion 0. one of the streets of Aberystwyth should be claimfed. by private persons, and let out by them on rental without interferance As Mr ATWOOD pointed out, no right of this sort can be al- lowed by the Town Council. Apart al- together from the general question of clearing the streets, a stop must be put to anyone's charging rent for their usp. It was said on Tues- day that three feet of the footpath at one time be- longed to Nanteos, but it is now said that the new building was brought to the limit of the Nanteos property. However that may be, it is clear the MAYOR, as the chief member of the Corporation, must take the initiative in protecting public rights, which, if allowed to be tampered with in this way, may ultimately result in the closing up of streets. It is almost incredible that anyone in these days would not only deprive foot-passengers of the use of the footpaths, but actually charge rents for them It is generally some glaring abuse that results in reform. After all the conten-tion there has been at Aberystwyth about clearing the streets, it is worthy of note th&t Mr. Griffiths is likely to be the person who will bring about the very thing he most wishes to avoid. Few of the inhabitants care much, whether a few boxes are left on the footpaths the old women who sell fowls at the corner- of Pier-street would perhaps never have roused sufficient interest to have got themselves abolished; hawkers of vegetables might have been tolerated as a mixed evil; but when a claim is made to a portion of a public street, and it is admitted that acts of ownership are exercised over it, then the system of obstruc- tions is doomed, whatever may become of the particular footpath claimed by the lessees of the Corn Market. The sooner the owners of Market-street enclose their property, the better will it be for the public, who are liable to be warned off the streets which have been flagged at their expense, and are kept in repair by them. We shall be surprised if the ratepayers have not something to say about this claim, which cannot be allowed to pass unobjected to even for a week. The MAYOR said on Tuesday that it was time for the magistrates and the police to interfere. Our readers will endorse his opinion.

LOCAL AND DISTRICT NOTES. The result." of the bazaar at Criccieth exceeded the anticipations of its promoters, for R160 was raised, whereas only £80 was required, to complete the purchase of aa organ. The managers of the church, however, are glad to have the balaaoe for the renovation of the sacred edifice. A correspondent cJls attention to the erection of a t -11 bar on the beautful Panorama Walk at Barmouth. The people of the town who care to encourage visitors should take this matter up at once. Twopence may be a small sum, but visitors like freedom above all things, and the toll bar will irritate them much more than many a greater evil. A fund is being raised at Portmadoc for the widow and relatives of the late Private JOHN ROBEKTS, who was acci- dentally shot at the butts. Volunteers generally are to be appealed to. *♦* '■ Uppingham School, we understand, will reassemble at Borth some time next month. V Oxford Local Examinations will be held at Aberystwyth, about Christmas next. Mr Griffith Jones, solicitor, is the jocal secretary. We are requested to state that fever has disappeared from Aberdovey. We understand there has been no case of measles or scarlet fever there for some time. V We are glad to report a successful regatta at Pwllheli. The weather was agreeable, and there was a large attendance of spectator?. Llanychaiarn Church is no-, ne of tho-w sacred edifices of which a parish has good cause to be pruud. The church was so bad that, two years Qgn. the pa Lhioners thought something should be done to ob„:iiu funda for improving it. In August, 1874, a successful baz tar was held in the Town Hall, Aberystwyth, and a suui "f X524 83 31 was realized. From that day to this no accn t has been given how por- tions of the mosey have been disposed of. Two years have pas ed away since the bazaar was held, and the time has come when the accounts should be audited, and the work commenced for which the money was obtained. The public came forward very readily to assiet the promoters of the bazaar, andit is scarcely right no account should be rendered of the proceeds. Awkward questions may be asked if this two-years' silence is not sye.-dily broken. Cannot the VICAR do anything towards enlightening those who, very properly, are beginning to want to know, you know." The proceedings for the compulsory purchase of a site in the village of Llanbadarn for a Board School have been abandoned. Sir PRYSE PBTSE, Bart, has iffsred a site, which ha3 been accepted, within a hundred yards of the spot fixed upon by the Board. The terms are perfectly satisfactory to the Beard. The inquest on the two sailors who were drowned at Portmadoc, and the remark of one witness that at most seaport towns lights were kept burning en the quay all night, will no doubt direct the attention of the proper autho- rities tj the desirability of establishing a similar practice at Portmadoc. At Dolgelley on Saturday last the Kural Sanitary Autho- rity's Inspector reported that the death.rat through the Union for the three months ended June :!0th was at the rate cf 2-r2 per 1030 per annum. This is about a third higher than it ought to be, and yet the inhabitants are astonished that visitord do not visit Dolgeliev. Dolgelley is nearly a healthy as the back slums of some of the large English towns. A i evolution was passed to call the atten- tion of the Local Board t) the high death-rate, and ask whether that ex.tr?.or I:nary body will do anything towards bringing about a hf-a.ihi-r st.te of things. Si much has been said about Dol^eiiey Local Board, its non-resident clerk, and its clever way of not doing :.nyhinz, that only the very credulous will éXjJec the Board to act on the reso- lution passed by the Kural Sanitary Authoiity. On Monday a boy at Vaalndarn was caught in a water mill and had both his b gs Lrohn. On Tuesday morning a man was washed off the deck of a fishing smack at the entrance of tha Aberystwyth Haroo. r and was drowned. Later in the day a servan gal at tie Beile Vue Hotel, Aberystwyth, fell 20"n whi e va ting at d;nntr, and died in ten miaLtOP- On Wednk s'a; m ii n', g a m'ner died in a field just outside Aberjs wylh br.'o.-e medical assistance could be procured. Pe'ails of thes* events i I le found ia other parts of the ppp r. At the MachynlUtri Ptt'y Ses ion?, on W-cnday ]a t, a bookseller asked why lie should not hawk b ilks about the streets in the tame way as th bookstall b rVSi There was no reason. Strictly speaking perhaps, newspaper'lads aad lads who sell tea-cak^s ought to have hawker's liceneeaf and if the Machynlleth bookseller uoes not think it beneath his dignity to hawk his wares he can do so. The licence will Cost hira nothing. V At the last mett'.ng cf the Aberystwyth Town Council Mr GF.O^.SE MoiccE, the late cleik to the Harbour Trustees* applitd for two years' s.,ilary, and contended that he had Lever resigned his tnee. Alderman JONTS said the cle: k ^signed his office It fjre the Harbour was transferred to the Corporator. Mr MORICE s.iid h0 would commence legal proceedings.
