-"-QUARTERLY ASSOCIATION OF…
QUARTERLY ASSOCIATION OF THE CALVIN" ISTIC METHODISTS. The summer meeting of this association was held at Wrexham, and commenced on Tuesday, Junell, when the Ministers' Fund Committee and the English Causes Committee met. On Wednesday, the General Commit- tee held a meeting at Zion Chapel, under the presidency of the Rev. Emrys Evans, Cotton Hall, Denbigh, the moderator for the year. There was a very large atten- dance of delegates. It was reported from A rvoN that the monthly meeting agreed with the proposed alterations in the constitution of the General Assembly, as reported to the Llanrhaiadr Association, and sent thence for the consideration of the several monthly meetings, with the exception of the third clause which referred to the reception and adoption of reports, and the Arvon monthly meeting wished to in- clude the temperance cause with other causes referred to in theelause. Lleyn and Eifionydd had adopted. the resolutions as agreed to at the joint committee. Flintshire monthly meeting approved of all the resolutions except the fourth, which refers to the union of the synodical examination in the two provinces. Lower Montgomeryshire approved of all except the second, which refers to the proposed manag- ing committee having care of the connexional publications, and proposed as an amendment that the Publications oiLiUiiicee be ttMi-'uiiiucu ty iie General Assembly, but that it would be desirable that the several monthly meetings should be fairly represented thereon." It appear- ing that no other monthly meeting had considered the quetion, Dr. THOMAS'suggested that the discussion should be ad- ,0,,fAS s 7 journed to the Winter Association, to be held in Meri- onethshire. Mr. W. WILLIAMS, Tanygrisiau, seconded the suggestion, which was agreed to. 0' no' A petition was received from the Montgomeryshire Presbytery to the effect that the questions at the synodical In examination should be printed in English. After some discussion, Mr. ROWLANDS, Newtown, moved that in future the questions should be printed in English as well as Welsh. It was, however, decided, on the motion of Dr. XiDWAiiDs, to proceed to the agenda. An interesting conversation took place on a suggestion that greater oversight should be kept over young people who left Welsh towns and villages for large English towns, and that care should be taken that they should continue their church membership. It was decided to issue an English report of the proceedings of the Associ- ation for circulation in the English churches. It was agreed that collections should be annually made in the Sunday schools in aid of the undenominational schools in those districts where special efforts were being made by tlu Papal hierarchy to induce children to attend schools where their tenets were taught. Mr. R. ROWLAND read the resolution arrived at by the sub-committee, which met at DolgeUey on November 9, 1877, to consider the question of the Sustentation Fund, and which had been submitted to the General Committee for reference to the Association and monthly meetings, preparatory to consideration by the General Assembly. Dr. EDWARDS said the rules had obtained the earnest attention of the General Assembly, and he suggested they should be sent for the consideration of the several monthly meetings. This was seconded by Dr. THOMAS, and agreed to, a discussion upon them to take place at the next Associa- tion, if any of the monthly meetings will have considered them by then. THE ORDINATION" MEETING took place at Zion Chapel, at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the Rev. Emrys Evans presiding. The Rev. David Harris, of America, opened the services with prayer, whereupon the Moderator called upon Mr. David Roberts, of Liverpool, chairman of the Committee of Deacons, to ask whether any preachers had been selected for ordination? He answered in the affirmative, and read the following names :—Messrs. Eli Evans, Dolyddelen Morris Williams, Denbigh Henry Jones, Llanyddelan, Montgomeryshire Evan Jones, Machynlleth; David Charles Davies, Bolton David Jones, Llanllyfni; Wil liam Elias Williams, Pentir. Bangor; Robert Owen Williams, Lleyn William Griffith, Llansaintffraid, Cor- wen; Joliri Davies, Montgomery Ezra Jones, The Lodge, Chirk; Evan Jones Evans, Southport: Owen Thomas Williams, Croesor, Merionethshire; Thomas Hughes, Llandulas; and Griffith Ceidiog Roberts, Maentvvrog. The nauics havieg beea read, the Rev. Roger Edwards, Mold, read the usual portions of Scripture, and then The Rer. JOHX WILLIAMS, Llandrillo, delivered the usual charge on Church polity. He founded his address 011 Ephesians iv., 11 and 12 verses. The Rev. E. MATTHEWS, Cardiff, then delivered the charge to those ordained. The meeting was brought to a close by prayer by the Rev. R. Jones, Port Dinorwic. The general meeting of the Association was held at Zion Chapel at two o'clock. The preceedings having been opened with prayer by the ReV. Owen Evans, Ruthin, the Secretary aaaou:;ccd that the nc::t Association would be held at Carnarvon on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, August 20, 21, and 22. The Secretary also read a letter of introduction of the Rev. D. Harris from the Assembly of Calvinistic Methodists at Wisconsin, America, and authorising him to act as thier representative at the Association of South and North Wales. The Rev. D. HARRIS gave a statement of the present state of the Calvinistic Methodist Connexion in America, where they numbered some 10,000 communicants. Mr. R. ROWLAND, Portmadoc, secretary of the Com- mittee of Deacons, read a report of the transactions of that Committee at their meeting the same morning. The Committee suggested a vote of condolence should be passed x with Mrs. P. M. Evans and family, expressing sincere sympathy with them in their sudden affliction. It was desir-r1 tht th" should ba passed, and a similar ex- pression of sympathy was ordered to be sent to Mrs. Jones Morris, widow of Mr. R. Jones Morris, of Bodfari. The Rev. OWEN THOMAS read the report of the annual meeting of the Bala College Committee, and of the result of the examination, which was adopted. On the motion of the Rev. ROGER EDWARDS, seconded by Mr. P. WILLIAMS, of Liverpool, a vote of thanks was tendered to the College examiners for the year, to Mr. David Roberts, chairman of the committee, and to Mr. R. Wright, Bodfari, for presenting to the College an ex- cellent portrait in oil of the president—the Rev. Dr. Ed- wards-and of a scholarship value £ 50 a year for two years, at Aberystwyth, to the one who passed highest at the annual examination. From the report of the General Committee of the Home Missions read by the Rev. JOSEPH JONES, it ap- peared that grants had been made to the following, in con- nection with the Montgomeryshire district: Llanymynech and Gwernypant £ o5, Coedway £ 40, Shrewsbury Jo45, Welshpool i'33, Tabernacle and Groesllwyd e60, Berriew and Montgomery 4:50, Bethesda and Mochdre k35, and to Wolverhampton as usual. On the motion of the Rev. F. JONES, seconded by Mr. EZRA ROBERTS, the report was adopted. The Rev. DANIEL ROWLANDS read the report of the Ministers' Fund, which was of a most encouraging char- a-ctei'. The toUl worth of the fund at the end of 1877 was £ 24,372 2s. The report was adopted. The second general meeting of the Association was held at half-past eight o'clock, when a report was read of the state of the cause in the Lancashire Presbytery district. —At the suggestion of the Chairman, the Rev. O. THOMAS moved a vote of condolence with the Rev. Dr. Llugwy Owen in his recent affliction, and with the Rev. W. Morris, Rhuddlan, on his long illness, which was seconded by the Rev. JOSEPH JONES, and agreed to.- The rest of the meeting was devoted to a discussion on the Sacrament, in which the Chairman, the Revs. Dr. Edwards, Edward Mathews, W. James, Dr. Thomas, and others, took part. HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—A certain remedy

IIMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. The House met after the Whitsuntide recess. Mr. Rylands called attention to the treaties of 1856 and 1871, and moved a resolution declaring that all future treaties between England and foreign Powers by which we may be engaged separately or in conjunction with any other Power to interfere by force of arms, or by armed demonstration, should be laid on the table of both Houses of Parliament before being ratified. Mr. E. Jen- kins seconded the proposition. Mr. Gladstone strongly depre- cated the motion. He thought it would be a dangerous course on the grounds stated to lay down a new Constitutional princi- ple such as was involved in the motion before the House, and he held that it would be unjust to her Majesty's Govern- ment to assume that in any guarantees into which they might be about to enter they would cease to regard the feelings and wishes of the country. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he failed to see how it would be possible to adopt the principle of the motion. On the contrary, he maintained that it would be practically impossible to conduct negotiations with foreign Powers if such a course of action were to be laid down for the guidance of the Government. Indeed, it would probably be found better to keep apart from treaties altogether than to at- tempt to arrange them under such a method. Mr. Rylands offered to withdraw his motion, but it was put to the House and negatived. A short debate followed on the general condition of the militia, and soon afterwards, in a thin House, Supply was reached. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. At a morning sitting, Mr. Walter James asked if the document which appeared in the Globe, purporting to give the basis of the agreement between England and Russia, was authentic. The α- Chancellor of the Exchequer said the paper had only just been placed in his hands, and he had not had time to examine the document, without which he could not profess to answer the question. He could say that the information had not been con- veyed by her Majesty's Government. Mr. Sclater-Bootlimoved that the House should go into committee on the Valuation of Property Bill. Several members criticised the provisions of the measure most unfavourably, and Mr. Clare Read moved as an amendment, That no readjustment of the system of assess- ment will be complete or satisfactory until representative County Boards are established, with the power of hearing appeals on questions of value, and for securing uniformity of assessment." The debate lasted the whole of the sitting, and was suspended when the hour for adjournment arrived. The evening sitting was unimportant. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. For the first time after the Whitsuntide recess. The Royal assent was given to a number of Bills, and the order for the second reading of the Truro Bishopric Bill was discharged.—In reply to Lord Granville, the Duke of Richmond said that the document published in the Globe had evidently emanated from some one who had access to confidential documents. Its pub- lication was unauthorized, and therefore surreptitious. As an exposition of the policy of the Government it was incomplete, and consequently inaccurate. At the proper time Government would offer Parliament the fullest explanations, but at present, in the public interest, he must appeal to Parliament to justify them in declining to answei particular questions on the subject. —Lord Houghton said it would be very gratifying if a more satisfactory answer could be obtained. He complained that, as matters now stood, England seemed to all the world to have gone into Congress after abandoning some of the most important points he and others considered it the duty of the country to maintain.—Earl Grey pressed for further information, and thought the noble duke might say whether the document pub- lished in the Globe was or was not what it professed to be.—The Duke of Richmond declined to enter further into the subject at present and the House adjourned at twenty-five minutes past five. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. After considerable discussion, the first of a number ot l ram- way Bills authorizing the use of steam power, passed its third reading by 216 votes to 119.—Mr. Otway took his seat for Rochester, and Mr. Giles for Southampton.—Lord R. Montagu gave notice that on an early day he should call attention to the agreement and annexe signed by Count Schouvaloff and Lord Salisbury, and move that it was a departure from the policy laid down by the Premier and supported by Parliament, and was injurious to the interests of the country.—In reply to ques- tions put by the Marquis of Hartington and Lord R. Montagu, with reference to the alleged agreement, as published in the Globe, Sir Stafford Northcote gave a reply in terms identical with those employed by the Duke of Richmond in the Upper House.-Lord Sandon, in reply to Mr. Gourley, said he saw no hope of passing the Merchant Shipping Bill this Session.—Sir W. Barttelot asked Mr. Hanbury whether he would withdraw the notice he had given with reference to Mr. Gladstone's article in the Nineteenth Century, and Mr. Hanbury replied in the affirmative, and asked the permission of the House to withdraw his notice.—Mr. Gladstone, while he declined to challenge the resolution at which the hon. member had arrived, pointed out that tne notice was one which should never have been given unless it was intended firmly to persevere with it, and that, so far as the reasons which had been adduced for the withdrawal were concerned, they were based on circumstances with which the honourable member was as well acquainted when he gave his notice as at the present time.—The Epping Forest Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee, and the adjourned debate on going into Committee on the Valuation of Property Bill was resumed. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. The House met at five o'clock. A number of Bills confirming provisional orders were adnlIlced a stage, and their lordships rose at twenty minutes past five. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The House met at two o'clock. Mr. Gladstone presented a petition from a pubiic meeting at Poonah, near Bombay, which he stated contained a very elabo- rate argument against the recent Vernacular Press Law, and concluded with a prayer that the House would not only condemn that measure, but, as it was the only protection of her Majesty's Indian subjects against the tyranny of the Indian Executive, it would take such steps as might seem fit to it to prevent the con- tinuance of this policy, and ensure the progressive freedom of the people of India by enlarging the representative element in the Legislative Council. He wished to point out that in two points the petition was irregular. It was styled a memorial, aad although addressed to the House was by a clerical error subscribed Right Hon Sir," but as it concluded with a prayer he would amend it, and present it in the usual form.—The Speaker said that it was substantially a petition, properly warded, and the House could therefore receive it.—Sir George Campbell gave notice that on the earliest opportunity he should move the following resolution :—" That the House, whilst recog- nizing the justice to the people of England and the right of dis- cretion of her Majesty's Government in refraining from a single- handed war to redress the wrongs of the Roumanians, still deeply regrets that it should have become accessory to the seizure of Roumanian territory, contrary to the wishes of the people."—Sir H. Havelock said that as his motion with respect to the re-organizing of the Indian army was one that the House would not discuss until the European negotiations now pending were concluded, he would postpone it to July 16. —Mr. Stans- feld gave notice that this day five weeks he would call attention to the annual police returns under the Contagious Diseases Acts.—The House went into Committee on the Roads and Bridges (Scotland) Bill, which occupied the remainder 8f the sitting.- The House resumed at nine o'clock.—Mr. W. Holms moved for a select committee to inquire into the relations of the religious denominations in Scotland, the operation of the Patronage Act, and the state of public feeling with respect to the maintenance of the connection between Church and State.-Mr. James Stewart seconded the motion, believing that an enquiry would tend to remove the causes of religious animosity in Scotland.— Mr. C. S. Parker moved, as an amendment, that the select com- mittee should inquire into the relations of the Established Church with the other churches in Scotland, and the people at large, and how far tke Patronage Act had tended to remove the causes of disunion, and what further legislation might be neces- sary to that end.—Mr. Dalryample said that the ulterior object of the motion was Disestablishment; but on the part of the Established Church he did not fear any inquiry.—Sir A. Gordon said that the causes of dissension were now very trifling, and there was a general desire for a re-union in one National Church. He moved for a Royal Commission to investigate the causes of dissension, and with view to their removal.— Mr. Baxter said that the real remedy for the unsatisfactory eccle- siastical state of Scotland was obvious to everyone familiar with the country, but he deprecated making the establishment a test question, although there was not the slightest chance of the other Presbyterians bodies being reconciled to the Established Church.—The special debate was adjourned, and shortly after- wards the HOII.5e adjourned at 1.35. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The Speaker said he hact received a communication from the election judge announcing Mr. Grey's intention not to further contest the petition of Mr. Ridley in the matter of the South Northumberland election inquiry.—The remainder of the sitting was occupied by a discussion on the Women's Disabilities Re- moval Bill, the second reading of which was again moved by r. Courtney. He contended that in knowledge, ability, and general qualification for the proper exercise of the franchise, the women who would be admitted to it by this Bill were fully equal, if not superior, to the average male elector and, believ- ing that the Bill would tend to elevate and ennoble the female character, by admitting women to the sphere of political thought and duty, he appealed to the House to pass it.—Mr. Palmer, Mr. Serjeant Sherlock, Mr. Blennerhasset, and Sir H. Jackson were among the supporters of the Bill.—Mr. Gorst complained that the Conservative leaders, who supported the Bill whilst they were in opposition, ware now utterly indifferent to it.—Mr. Beresford Hope ridiculed Mr. Gorst for his assumption of the leadership of the Conservative party, and asserted that this miserable and contemptible measure" had never been regarded by either side as a party question.—Mr. Greene was prepared to sit in opposition till the crack of doom rather than vote for the Bill.The division gave a majority of 79 against the second reading—219 against 140.
PUBLIC PARK FOR CARMARTHEN.
PUBLIC PARK FOR CARMARTHEN. For some time past a project has been spoken of to pro- vide a public park for the inhabitants of Carmarthen, but the matter took no definite form until it came into the hands of the present Mayor, who has expended so much time and money in his endeavours to promote the good of the borough. When the athletic sports were held on Monday week, the Mayor had to look out for the use of a field, as has been usual on all such occasions. Now, the field secured at that time seemed so fitting for the purpose that the Mayor set about obtaining it as a public park for the town. Almost insuperable difficulties, however, were found to stand in the way, but all these have been obviated by the prompt generosity of Mr. Richard MaRsel Mansel, the successful litigant in the late Mansel will suit, who has offered to place a field of his opposite the Picton Monument at the Mayor's disposal, free of rent, for the term of his life, or any further period allowed him by law as tenant for life of the property.

A RID, E T BY 0 K H I V aT BY CAPTAIN FRED BURNABY, Royal Horse Guards.^ Page 13 says :—" Two pairs of boots lined with fiir ware also taken; and for physic—with which it is as well to be supplied when travelling in out-of-the-way, places-some, quinine and Cockle's pills, the latter a most invaluable medicine, and one which I have used on the natives of Central Africa with the greatest possible success. In fact, the marvellous effects produced upon the mind and body- of an Arab Sheik, who was impervious to all native medicines, when I administered to him five COCKLE'S PILLS will never fade from my memory and a friend of mine,. who passed, through the same district many months after- wards, informed me that my fame as a medicine man' had not died: out, but that the marvellous cure was even then a theme of conversation in the bazaar." SEE BURNABY'S RIDE TO KBIVA, page 13. A GOOD FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST, with a pnadent use, has saved many a life and yet we think the idea may be improved upon, and reduced to a more simple, form. Take some good compound, such as COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, and we find that the desired end may be obtained with- out scales and weights, or little mysterious compartments or enchanted bottles, with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of persons, and found to answer their purpose so wtll, may be set down as the best. —Observer.
