THE Liis^iiAL CAMPAIGN INI…
THE Liis^iiAL CAMPAIGN IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE. MR. STUART RENDEL AT TREGYXOX. On Monday evening, July 15, a public meeting was held in the Schoolroom, Tregynon, for the purpose of hearing the political views of Mr. Stuart Rendel. Mr. J. C. Bayard, of Gwernydd, presided, and the Hon. F. S. A. Hanbury Tracy, M.P., and a crowded audience were present. The CHAIRMAN said they were gathered together that evening, on purpose, as Liberals of that district of Mont- gomeryshire, to hear Mr. Stuart Rendel. a gentleman who had been brought forward by the party against the Con- servatives, who had for a long time held the representa- tion of the county. Why they had done so, he could not say, for he was sure from his experience of different parts of the county, that it was Liberal in thought, Liberallll feeling, and Liberal in religion. (Applause.) It had been so, however, and now the party had been looking about, and had found a gentleman in every way qualified to represent them. He thanked Mr. Rendel from his heart, and he u*-ged his hearers to unite every eriort to ensure his return for what might be a long term of Parliament. (Applause.) He would not say anything about the present member. He honoured and liked him. But they were not all of the same way of thinking he did not think the \v^,y the Government was carried on now was right, and he did not see why they should not bring forward a candidate, and support him with all their might, to re- present them and their way of thinking in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) They would now hear Mr. Rendel, and after doing so he wished them to support Mr. hendellI1 the election which was fast approaching. (tueeis.) There was one poiut he wished to allude to. Peace had been proclaimed as the result of the Congress. not the Liberal party come forward, headed by men like Lord Hartington and Mr. Gladstone, and put great pres- sure upon the Government, would they have gone into the Congress at all ? Xo, this country would have been at war now. He was sure of it. The Liberal party had objected to the six millions, and it was only when Lord Beacons- tield saw the opinion of the country unmistakably ex- pressed that he thought proper to go into Congress and the result had been peace. One of the principles of the Liberal party was free trade, another was equality in re- ligion, which had been brought forward by the VV m^~ the late Lord John Russell and others. They had brought about the free exercise of religion which they and he now enjoyed. (Hear, hear.) He concluded oy calling upon the Hon. F. Hanbury Tracy. The Hon. F. S. A. HANBLKY-TKACY, who was cheered on rising, said he had come there in the interests of Mr. Stuart Rendel, but had come not expecting to speak. He had intended not speaking at all, because that meeting was not connected with the boroughs, which he had the honour of representing, but was a meeting of the free and independent electors of Montgomeryshire, held for the purpose of having an opportunity of hearing the gentleman whom the Liberal Party had selected to represent them in Parliament. They bad been having several meetings in different parts of the county, the last of which, held at Liantyllin. had been rather am'-ismg. A gentleman, au agent fur Sir Watkin Wynn, had attended, as he had a perfect right to do. He had objected tu-it to what he (the speaker) had said, and then to what every one else had said. He complained that he (Mi'. lr^c>' had objected to tke rent dinner at Llanbrynmair, bu« ne had never objected to the dinner. He wished there to ue no misunderstanding in the matter. He had said tnat he was. glad to see Mr. Hughes and other Conservatives present, and that he nuly wished that the latter had held their meeting at such a time and place a.s would have gi*en tile Liberals an opportunity of hearing what they had to^»jy. Mr. Hughes upon that, thought he was sneeriug at t.ieiu. Afterwards he appeared to have become conscious or a feeling of having made a mistake. He asked, what had the Conservatives done to the different counties or England and Wales ? and he answered the question very much to his own satisfaction. He said that xar doing harm, they had done an immense deal of instanced the taking oil of the licence on sheep dogs- -I no doubt, had been a good thing, and it was one principadj advocated by members on the Liberal side credit should be given where it was due. In the year 17UI' a -0'T Government first put a tax upon dogs, in 1853, ho thought was the year, Mr. Gladstone reduced the tax, and also gave power to the Commissioners not to levy the tax in certain instances. He saw that it was much more im- portant to give the people a free breakfast-table, iree sugar, and free tea, than to allow the keeping of a lot of useless curs, so the tax was not altogether abolished, but was reduced. In 1367 Israeli reduced the tax still further, but at the same time first put ;the tax upon sheep dogs. The tax was therefore first originated with a Tory Government, was reduced by Mr. Gladstone, still further reduced by Mr. Disraeli, and at the same time first imposed upon sheep dogs. He therefore failed to see how they cou.u i claim much credit on that account. Taxation had been reduced by the Conservatives by increasing the income tax, and by levying a heavy tax upon tobacco, a policy of rob- bing Peter to pay Paul. Mr. Hughes had further ob- jected that he (Mr. Tracy) had not spoken upon any sub- ject they had not heard of before. He said he was a man who was well read, and was well up in many subjects, and with all Mr. Hughes's experience and accomplish- ments, how could he (Mr. Tracy) possibly expect to teach Mr. Hughes anything, or tell him anything new. Laugh- ter and hear, hear.) There were different ways of putting things, and he had put them from the point he felt, toe Liberal point of view. He ventured to suggest that he might have referred to the Burials Bill, and Mr. Hughes did not seem to like that. That was a question, however, upon which he thought all. Welshmen, and people in Montgomeryshire, whether Liberal or Conservative, shoiud be united. But what prospect had they of gaining that measure from a. Conservative Government ? It bad been said that the House of Lords stopped the passing of the measure. They had, however, passed one almost identical with Mr. Osborne Morgan's, but the Tory party in the House of Commons had refused to allow it to pass. 1 rom France, which had the name of being a very bigoted .and strongly Catholic country, he had recently had a letter from a friend showing that there was perfect freedom of burial, and that in a Catholic churchyard service and celebrant were left to the choice of the friends of the deceased. How long were we, who had compelled Turkey and the neigh- bouring states to have freedom of worship and equality of religion, going to keep them away from ourselves He was himself a strong Churchman; he had been brought up in the Church, and he felt b'.nind to do all he could for it; but he did not believe the Church of the minority should have all the State fund. He had some little delicacy in speaking in this matter, because the clergy-, man of that parish was present, and it might be thought that he was going out of his 'way to say something which he might have unsaid if he had not prefaced it with the remark that he was a staunch Churchman. He did not j believe that so long as it was a State Church it would be at liberty to work its own will, and for that reason he was thoroughly for the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales. (Cheers.) The Duke of Richmond had informed the deputation which he had accompanied that there were no spare funds out of which to grant the Welsh I niyer- sity any money, but at that time a Bill was brought into Parliament to devote for educational purposes in Ireland the money derived from the Disestablished Church, which they did not know what to do with. He had learnt on good authority that the Church in Ireland had never been reuie,»ered iu so flourishing a state, and this must tend to show that the Church could well sustain the loss of Disestablishment in this country. He was delighted to come there with Mr. Rendel, who attended to state what his views were. The Conservatives had held the county for 15 years, and they thought they ought al- ways to hold it. 1 hey saId there was no Liberal party, but he thought there was, and that that party was determined to bring some one forward, who, they thought, would have as good a chance of being returned as any other candidate. They could not have chosen a more able, or deserving, or who would become a more popular candidate than Mr. Rendel. (Cheers.) It had been thrust in their teeth that Mr. Rendel was not a Welshman, but he thought it was not of so much importance to have a Welshman as to have a member who would represent them on questions like the Burials Bill and other subjects upon which they felt deeply. (Hear, hear.) There were many qualities essential in a member of Parliament, and many things which might prevent gentlemen from coming forward. He would leave it to_ the meeting, after they had heard Mr. Rendel, to decide whether his feeling's were theirs. (Hear, hear.) If they were the same he trusted they would do their utmost to return him at the next election. (Cheers.) Mr. ST CART REXDEL, who was very warmly received, after thanking them for their cord;'il reception, said he had great reason to be gratified that evening, not only for their reception, but for their presence, for he was sure by their being there that they were Liberals, and that if there were any Conservatives present, by their presence that night they showed that they were on the way to be- come Liberals. (Laughter and applause.) With regard to the meeting alluded to by Mr. Tracy, no one could be Inore pleased that Conservative meetings were held in the county than the Lioeral candidate, for there was nothing he could wish for more than that there should be some Political education in the county where he wished to carry tue day. (Hear, hear.) Had the Tories usually held Meetings amongst them Xo, they had been allowed to go on recording a silent vote in favour of a silent member, nnt f° Montgomeryshire lay useless for all good purposes „ r five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, but for a whole •ury> He for his Pa^t should always be gratified at anii?|'f^Ln opportunity of presenting himself before them, honrvJconstituents ot the county would do him the SDou bearing him, he should be too glad.

Burial grounds had not ala a ,mri" attached to churches, but in the days of glorious and pious ancestors, there had grown up a desire I buried within the precincts of the church, and this had spread, and was encouraged as an aid to reverence the church finding therein a moans of increasing her revenues by inducing people to put their hands in their por-kets t, for masses for the souls of tho-e departed anu s.>arc,d\ out ,f sight. That was the origin of the church yard, which had since come to be considered as the parson's freehold. Tt might be a point against them that they permitted church rates to be abolished, but it was only a very small one. Far from its being a small grievance, limited to some two millions, who could not bury their dead in cemeteries with their own services, it was one of the whole Nonconformist body, and he might say of the whole Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) It was most u ifair and unreasonable to call theta political Dissenters. They did care about the question, for they )erA felt they could not be Liberals without caring. (Hear, hear.) It was urged that the Burials Bill was Disestab- lishment in disguise, and there were many persons who would give them the former, but not the latter, and it was thought to frighten these persons with this statement. They apparently failed to see that there was in politics a kind of morality by which you must do right, and leave the consequences to a higher Power. (Cheers.) If any opposedthe Bill on the ground that, although it was right, it could not be passed without laying the Church open to attack, it was time to cut off the decayed limb, and to get rid of the cancer, which should surely be abolished in the interests of the Church. All would agree that nothing could be more melancholy than that the question of Dises- tablishment should be fought in the burial-grounds—in the grave-yards of the country. Even in savage times the spot where the dead lay was deemed secure from battle. He, like Mr. Tracy, was not a Nonconformist. He was « member of the Church, yet he claimed to feel quite as strongly in this matter as they did. To impose the burial service of a particular establishment upon a Noncon- formist was an indignity lie would gladly see taken away. But lie thought it was something worse for the Church. It was a mockery of religion in his mind. The clergyman who could deem it his duty to impose that service where it was not. desired, and who yet maintained it, was that clergyman of dogmatic principles who really believed that "the Dissenter was guilty of schism, which was a great sin, and that whoever died in sin would go to eternal damnation ? He might have been leading the Athanasian Creed, and the next day might be burying the victim of his maledictions in "sure aud certain hope." (Cheers.) It was natural that a man should wish to be buried by the man who had been his spiritual guide in life, and who would be the spiritual consoler of his bereaved ones, it was unnatural, almost wicked, that a man should wish to read the burial service over a man who had never attended his church, and did not believe in his doctrine, merely as a vindication of what he believed to be his national posi- tions, and his official privileges. (Cheers.) In con- clusion, the speaker referred to the words of the Bishop of Lincoln, written to a newspaper in 1S7G :—" The bishop and clergy and parish priests of England are not the owners ot the churchyards. They are only trustees of them under God, who is their proprietor, and they cannot without breach of trust, and without being guilty of a heinous offence in His sight, take away from God a single oot of a churchyard for the purpose of giving a share in it for public funeral services to persons who rend asunder this Church by schism, which is condemned by Him in His Holy Word as a deadly sin. Such an act on the part of bishops and clergy would be a robbery of God. It would be an act of sacrilege, treachery, and cowardice. It would not arrest Disestablishment it would only hasten lt." That, continued the speaker, was the language of one of the most learned, and revered bishops of the Church of England only the other day. Forty years ago and more, the Nonconformists of this country recovered the right of being married with their own rites. The gen- eration which gained that right had almost passed away. and had fai ed to gain the consummation of being buried with its own rites. That was a sad confession for this. which boasted of being a land of freedom. It was a strange thing that this final quital of life, this raising of sepulchre should cause s > much bitterness of feeling. thought they could say that a passage of the Gospel came before them Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and your fathers killed them. Irtdy ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathera for they indeed killed them and ve build their sepulchres." (Loud cheers.) Ir. WII.SOX, the representative of the district upon the central committee, moved '"That this meeting approves of Mr. Stuart Rendel as ? Candidate for the representation of Montgomeryshire In Parliament, and pledges itself to use every effort to secure his return." (Cheers.) The Rev. DAn;) WILLIAMS seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. RICHARD Luxrn. jun., and Mr. Ikiv. Mr. RTCHAEI* WILLIAMS, Newtown, read the fol- lowing — THE SONG OF THE KLECTIOX.—Tlwk, "Oaaaan."

Mr. WILLIAMS afterwards read the same composition into Welsh verse. ^he resolution was carried with acclamation. MR STCAKT RENDEL expreased his thanks for the vote of ^"nndence passed, and proposed a vote of thanks to the CHAIRMAN, which was seconded by Mr. JOVES, Pen-y-coed. fhe CHAIRMAN* replied, and the proceedings terminated.

THE CONGRESS
THE CONGRESS The eighteenth sitting of the Congress was held on Thursday. Lord Beaconsfield was again absent from in- disposition. The Batoum question was finally settled at Wednesday's sitting. The following official statement was issued in Constantinople on Thursday In virtue of the treaty for the British occupation of Cyprus, England engages to pay to the Porte annually the sum of £ 150,000, whereas the present revenue from the island is only E120,000. She also binds herself to defend Tnrkey in Asia against all future aggression. England in the treaty engages to restore Cyprus to Turkey in the event of Russia at any future period restoring the territory an- nexed by her in Asia." The Plenipotentiaries—with the exception of Lord Beaconsfield, who was still indisposed, sat from two o'clock on Friday afternoon till nearly six, and made some verbal alterations, also modifications, in the formal details of the treaty. It is expected that the official publication of the treaty by the Governments of the signatory Powers will only follow its ratification, which will be effected within four weeks from the date of signature. THE CLOSE. On Saturday the Berlin Congress reached the final stage in a formal sitting, at which the several Plenipo- tentiaries attended in full dress to attach their seals and signatures to the treaty. This ceremony concluded, Count Andrassy, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, rose and thanked Prince Bismarck in the name of the Congress, for the services he had rendered in bringing its great work to a satisfactory issue exactly one month from the opening of the Congress, and tendering the respectful acknowledge- ments of the Plenipotentiaries for the great kindness and gracious hospitality they had experienced from the Emperor of Germany and the Imperial family. The pttoman secretaries were the only ones absent when the treaty was signed, but they made their appearance at a later hour. At the Congress Prince Bismarck, who was present in his general's uniform, appeared to be greatly fatigued. Lord Beaconsfield, who was still suffering from gout, leaned upon his stick and Prince Gortschakoff was carried into the room by his attendants. Prince Bismarck opened the business in a speech, giving a retrospective view of what hadbfen accomplished, and then invited the Plenipotentiaries to sign seven copies of the treaty which had been prepared, one for each country. The work of signature, which was completed in the secretary's room, is said to have occupied one hour, in the course of which the Plenipotentiaries exchanged photographs and auto- graphs. At half-past five the German Chancellor made a farewell speech, expressing his satisfaction at the happy conclusion of the labours of the Conference, and it was then Count Andmssy moved the vote of thanks already referred to. The principal portions of the treaty of Berlin were published in a second edition of Saturday's Timex. The conditions are substantially the same as already pub- lished. The German official press is jubilant over tht) issue of the Congress, which it attributes largely to the friendly personal relations subsisting between the Imperial Chancellor and the various foreign Plenipotentiaries. At the Court banquet given on Saturday evening to the Plenipotentiaries, in the White Hall of the Palace, the Crown Prince, representing the Emperor, his father, delivered a short congratulatory speech, in which the understanding established by the Congress was hailed as a fresh guarantee for the peace and welfare of the world. Count Andrassy responded. Prince Gortschakoff was unable to be present at the banquet, but Lord Beacons- fielll was there, and was afterwards received in private audience by the Crown Prince and Princess. .THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS. Sir Garnet Wolseley and his staff left the Charing Cross Station by the South-Eastem Company's mail train at 7.40 0:1 Saturday morning, July 13. for Cyprus, travelling via Dover. Calais, Paris, and Brindisi. Sir Edward Wat- kin, M.P. (the chairman), and Mr. John Shaw (the general manager of the Company), were in attendance on the departure of his Excellency. The Dailii JWJCV says the Colonial Office, with the ap- probation of the Chairman of the Board of Customs, has offered to Mr. R. Robson. of the Custom House, the ap- pointment of Receiver of Customs Revenue in the island of Cyprus, with full powers to organize the Customs ser- vice under the control of the Colonial Office. The Army and Navy Ga:cttc says the addition of Cyprus to the naval stations in the Mediterranean will naturally necessitate a larger fleet being maintained in those waters than was the case before the outbreak of the late war. The ships of the Channel Squadron will be withdrawn so soon as the Eastern Question is settled, but their places will be filled by other vessels which have re- cently been commissioned, and are as yet unappropriated. There are also other ships now in the Mediterranean which require to be recalled to England owing to the development of defects, for some of them reliefs will have to be found. Mr. Baring, the secretary of the English embassy in Constantinople, formally took possession of the island of Cyprus oil Thursday on behalf of her Majesty, and in virtue of a firman frun the Sultan. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE BULGARIANS. A number of the Bulgarian inhabitants of Bourgas have sent an ad,lress to [r. Gladstone, thanking him for his labours on behalf of their fellow-countrymen. In ac- knowledging the receipt of the address, Mr. Gladstone expresses an earnest hope that the provinces which have now been freed from Turkish rule will not be disgraced by a revival of the crimes which led to the fall of the Ottoman Power. It is bad, he says, that Christians should be oppressed by Mussulmans, but it is far worse that Mussul- mans should be oppressed by Christians. Accounts are now, however, appearing which until confuted place some portions of the Bulgarian and Roumelian country under grave and even foul imputations. He therefore urges those who have signed the address, to use all their in- fluence to denounce and put down every tendency to use recovered liberties in the exercise of outrage and oppression. THE CONVENTION WITH TURKEY. A special telegram from the Daily Neicx correspondent in Cyprus announces that the British Hag was hoisted there on Monday. Lord John Hay is acting as temporary Governor of the island. Sir Garnet Wolseley reached Brindisi on Monday night, and at once embarked for Malta. The Daily Neirs understands that the leaders of the Opposition have decided to oppose the policy embodied in the convention with Turkey, and to take the sense of Par- liament oil the subject. THE TREATY OF BERLIN. The Times, in a leading article published on Monday, gives the following summary of the Treaty of Berlin :— The changes they (the Plenipotentiaries) have made may be divided into several groups, and in the first may be placed those outlying provinces of the Porte which were practi- cally independent before the war. Roumania and Servia were linked to Constantinople by the frail tie of a tribute which in recent years they sometimes forgot to pay. Both provinces are now formally declared to be independent. Roumania, as the public knows, is to give back to Russia a portion of that Bessarabian territory which she received after the Crimean War and in exchange she is to obtain the Dobrudja, with territory stretching from the east of Silistria to the south of Mangalia on the coast of the Black Sea. Although nothing can excuse the conduct of Russia in thus taking the land of a gallant little ally, Roumania has otherwise good reason to be pleased with what she has received in exchange. Servia also gets some additional territory. In the same group of changes may be classed the new position and boundaries of Montenegro. That little State nas never acknowledged any fealty to the Sultan, and its independence is at last admitted by the Porte and by the Powers of Europe. Thus ends a struggle which has been waged for centuries. A good deal of additional territory has been given to Montenegro, and in particular the port of Antivari, so that the ener- getic mountaineers will at last have an outlet for their scanty produce. On the other hand, the Congress has imposed some obligations on the States which have thus been freed from all connexion with the Porte and enlarged at its expense. Montenegro and Servia will have to bear a part of the Ottoman Debt proportionate to the size of the new territory which they have received. No such burden has been laid on Roumania, because the Dobrudja is regarded, not as an addition, but as ail exchange. The amount of the tribute hitherto paid by Servia and Rou- mania is to be capitalized, and thus an end will be put to all the pecuniary ties between those Principalities and the Turkish capital. The Congress has further laid a duty of high importance on Roumania, Servia, and Monte- negro by stipulating that all the subjects of these States shall be totally free from religious disabilities. Such is the satisfactory reply to the just complaint of the Jews at the treatment which they have sustained in Servia and Roumania; and in the same provision the Congress has in view the rights of any Mussulmans who may choose to remain in the territory which has been separated from the Porte. In Europe the last and most striking case of complete amputation is presented by Bosnia and Her- zegovina. These provinces are dismissed in the brief phrase that they" shall be occupied and administered by Austria-Hungary." As they fall under the sway of a great civilized Power, the Congress assumes that it need lay down no rules for the toleration of religious minorities. It is also not stipulated that the occupied territory is to pay any tribute to the Porte or to bear any portion of the Turkish Debt. The separation is absolute and uncondi- tional. So is the surrender of the Asiatic territory which falls to the share of Russia, except in so far as she engages to make Batoum a commercial port. The second zone of change is filled up by the new Bulgaria, which includes all the territory from the Danube to the Balkans except the part forming the com- pensation given to Roumania. Bulgaria is to be "an autonomous and tributary Principality" under the suzerainty of the Sultan. It is to have a Christian Go- vernment and a national militia. Its Prince is to be elected by the people, subject to the confirmation of the Porte and the assent of the Great Powers, the only re- striction on the freedom of choice being that he shall belong to none of the reigning dynasties of the Great Powers. There is to be a representative form of Govern- ment and complete religious equality. The principality is to pay a fixed tribute to the Porte, and to bear part of the Turkish Debt. On the other hand, all the Ottoman ttoops are to be withdrawn, and all the fortresses to be destroyed. The separation of Bulgaria from the Porte will be complete in all but the name and the obligation to pay a fixed sum of money. Thus it will be in nearly the same position as that which Servia occupied before the war. But it will take some time to prepare the requisite changes, and meanwhile the provisional organization will be directed by a Russian Commissioner. He will be assiste(l," however, and the "provisional organization" "controlled," by a Turkish Commissioner, as well as by ('onsuls to be appointed by the signatory Powers. Since the temporary Government is not to last for more than nine months, the action of the Russian Commission will be both closely watched and of short duration. Still, it may be thought, much room will be left for the growth of Russian influence subsequent to the final arrangements of the new Principality. The Government and the Militia. it may be said, will be controlled by Russian officials; and the gratitude of the Bulgarians, or, at least, a fear that they may again need the aid of Russia, may dis- incline them to protest. Such a danger is certainly not visionary. It is extremely likely that Russia would wield undue influence in Bulgaria if the treaty were regarded as self-acting. But treaties have to be enforced as well as made, and it will be tha. business of the Powers to see that no Government shall gain disproportionate authority over the new Principality. Austria in particular will be expected to watch the interests of Europe as well as of herself now that, by gaining Bosnia and Herzegovina, she has pushed herself forward into the Balkan peninsula. A third group of changes begins to the south of the Balkans. East Roumelia will have a more formal con- nection than Bulgaria with the Porte. It is to have a ( iiristian Governor-General who will be chosen by the -itiltlll, with the assent of the Great Powers, and will rerain in office for a term of five years. Practically, therefore, he will be appointed by them, and they may cause his tenure of command to be prolonged beyond the specified time if he should give exceptional proof of fitness. The administrative arrangements of the province have still to be determined by a European Commission, which will work in concert with the Porte, and take as its startidg-pointi the propositions made at the eighth meeting of the Conference of Constantinople. If we may judge from those plans, the administrative inde- pendence of the province will be almost as complete as that of Bulgaria itself. The budget will be so settled that a definite part of the revenue will be reserved for the local expenses, and another definite part sent to Con- stantinople. Thus East Roumelia would, like Bulgaria itself, be practically a tributary State. Its freedom will also be assured by the stipulation of the Congress that in- ternal order shall be kept by a native gendarmerie and a local militia, so recruited as to represent the religion of the districts over which they will watch. But it is pro- vided that the officers of both these corps shall be ap- pointed by the Sultan. Still more important is his right to raise fortifications and keep troops on all the frontiers of the province, and therefore on the Balkans as well as on the southern boundary. The Governor-General will also have power to call for Turkish troops if the in- ternal or the external security of the province should be menaced. The decision ot the Porte must then be stated and justified to the representatives of the Great Powers at Constantinople. Practically, therefore, the court of final appeal for East Roumelia will be the assembled Ambassadors and, on the whole, its position will not be unlike thatsheld by Servia before the Turkish troops were withdrawn from Belgrade in 1867. In a fourth group of changes we may place the Island of Crete and "the other parts of Turkey in Europe for which a special organization has not been provided by the present treaty." So far -is Crete is concerned, the Porte promises to apply scrupu- lously the administrative plan which was formed in 18(58, and to improve that law in any fashion which shall be deemed equitable. Hence, we presume, the Powers have still to review the causes of the discontent which keeps that island in a state of rebellion. They have also pro- vided a good deal further work by the stipulation that the Porte shall form special commissions to prepare plans for the government of the provinces which the Congress has not passed under review. Thus the administrative schemes for what may be called West Roumelia have still to be framed, and the Plenipotentiaries have left part of their task undone. We have also still to learn the answer of the Porte to the proposal th. a considerable amount of territory should be ceded to Greece. THE RETURN OF LORD BEACONSFIELD AND LORD SALISBURY. The reception accorded to Lords Beaconsfield and Salisbury on reaching Dover, on Tuesday, on their return from Berlin, was of the most enthusiastic description. The town and harbour were freely decorated, and the admiralty pier and approaches were lined with thousands of spectators. As soon as the twin-steamer Calais Douvres hove in sight the excitement visibly increased as she neared the landing stage, and when the Premier was observed standing on the forepart of the vessel, cheers burst forth and were sustained during the operation of moor- ing the steamer. At 2.35 p.m. the Calais Douvres was made fast to the Admiralty Pier, and the Mayor and Corporation of Dover, preceded by Viscount Barrington, M.P., Mr. Knatchbull Hugessen, M.P., and Sir E. Wat- kin, M.P., went on board and presented an address to Lord Beaconsfield, welcoming him upon his happy return, and congratulating him on the fact that the policy of her Majesty's Government had issued in the peace of Europe. Lord BEACONSFIELD, who looked somewhat fatigued, in replying to the address, remarked that the country was as much indebted to Lord Salisbury as to himself for any satisfactory results which had been obtained. Those re- sults would do honour to the Queen, and promote the prosperity of this country and the rest of Europe. (Loud cheers.) After receiving an address from the Conserva- tives of South Lacashire, the Premier, having Lady Salis- bury oil his arm, and followed by Lord Salisbury, and his daughters proceeded amidst great cheering to the special train drawn up at the pier platform. Four little girls, dressed in whUe, preceded them strewing flowers in their path. After Lord Beaconsfield had entered the saloon carriage, an address from the Local Conservative Association was presented. His Lorllship acknowledged it, and said, "NVe have brought you peace. We have, I think, brought you peace with honour, and I trust it will be followed by the prosperity of the country." (Prolonged cheers.) The train then moved off towards the town. A slight stoppage was made at the Town Station, where the assembled crowd besieged the carriage in which the premier was seated, and loudly cheered him. The train then proceeded rapidly on its journey. Charing Cross was reached punctually at.7),-15. Most elaborate decorations of drapery and flowers had transformed the station into a spacious and handsome room. A gallery for about three hundred privileged spectators faced the arrival platform. Sir Stafford and Lady Northcote, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and Lady Hicks-Beach, Lord and Lady John Manners, and other ministers with their ladies, were among the distin- guished company upon the platform. W hen the special train had drawn up in the station, Lord Henry Lennox, who had been standing in a group with Lord John Manners, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and other gentlemen, approached the door of the saloon carriage, and, upon the noble Earl alighting, warmly shook him by the hand and congratulated hi:n. Every one in the station at once stood up, and all hats were removed. Lady Alington was the first lady who shook hands with the Premier, upon whom congratulations were showered from every side. His Lordship bowed his acknowledgments to the cheering of the assemblage. As the carriage in which the noble earl, with Lady Salisbury, drove out of the station, proceeded to the Foreign Office, the immense crowd loudly cheered his Lordship. Many distinguished personages awaited his arrival at Down- ing-street, and after he had received their congratulations, Lord Beaconsfield, in acknowleuing the plaudits of the crowd outside, came out of the Foreign office and ad- dressed them a few words of thanks. The Duke and Duchess of Teck afterwards visited the Premier.
INDUCTION OF THE REV. J. HILLIER.
INDUCTION OF THE REV. J. HILLIER. On Thursday evening, the 4th July, an interesting meeting was held at the English Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Beaumaris, to induct the Rev. Joseph Hillier, formerly of Oswestry, into the pastorate of the Church. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by Captain Williams, senior deacon of the Church, who after giving a brief survey of the state of the Church, and the unanimity of the call to Mr. Hillier, called upon The Rev. EDWARD GRIFFITHS, Meifod, who said that he had come a long distance in order to testify his great respect for Mr. Hillier, and also to express the sorrow felt by the Montgomeryshire Monthly Meeting in losing him from among their number. He trusted, however, that the Beamaris friends would treat him kindly, and pay him the respect due to a minister of Christ. Now that Mr. Hillier was coming to labour among them let them help to encourage him in his great and noble work. It lay in their hands to a great measure to make his coming beneficial by giving him of their prayers, their sympathy to willing co-operation. Mr. J. JONES, Ashlands, said he grieved at losing Mr. Hillier from Oswestry, not merely because of his useful- ness in religious matters, as a thorough Christian and earnest preacher, but also because of his influence as a, townsman. He was always ready to assist in every good undertaking. He was not merely a man of one sect or party, but heartily co-operated with every denomination, and made himself in truth "all things to all men." If Beaumaris failed to appreciate his sterling worth, they would very soon hear of it at Oswestry, and be glad to welcome him back again. The Rev. J. JONES Menai Bridge,having been called upori to address the new minister, said he considered it his first duty to tender a cordial welcome to Mr. Hillier on his coming to reside amongst them, and that not on his own account merely, but also on behalf of the neighbouring Churches, and especially that of the monthly meeting of Anglesey. The heartiest welcome, however, that) could be given him on an occasion like that could not be ex- pected to allay the anxiety he would naturally feel in coming to labour amongst a people respecting whom his knowledge must necessarily be very limited. But he could tell him this, that so far as his own experience went, he would find the people thereabouts to bear a strong re- semblance in all main particulars to those he had just left. For, as in comparing any two towns with which lie might be acquainted, he would find the same types of character prevailing, only perhaps in different proportions; so was it to a large extent with Churches, however remotely situated from each other, and that being so, his past experience would serve him as an admirable directory in his inter- course with the people of his new charge. And then, as to his general ministrations when he should be dealing with men in the character which was common to them all by nature, he should certainly not have to change his weapons. The gospel he had preached hitherto was the divine panacea—Heaven's sole antidote to the bane of sin. Not, of course, the gospel of orders and rites and sacraments, nor yet the gospel of flabby sentimentalism, and dreamy talk,| but the "preaching of the cross," which had rescued multitudes from such moral cesspools as Ephesus and Corinth in the apostolic age and made them saints, and which found this Wales of theirs little more than a century ago a moral waste and made it what it was, and his chief business there was to preach this gospel. Not that he was to abdi- cate all social and political duties, for a man did not cease to be a citizen and a patriot on becoming a minister, nor was he to depreciate those subordinate duties of the min- istry which consisted in conducting church and other meet- ings and visitation. This latter, while pursued to excess by some, was too much underrated amongst them. For, although it was not one of the peculiar functions of the ministry, but one that devolved upon all Christians, as it was shown to be an essential part part of "pure and un- defiled religion," still it stood to reason that the ministers and elders of the Church should pay special attention to it. Nevertheless, preaching was to be the primary occu- pation of the minister, so that if it must be, they had better be poor pastors and visitors than poor preachers. Nothing would compensate for that. Sensible and con- siderate people would generally look with an indulgent eye upon their shortcomings with respect to the former, but poor and pointless preaching they never would con- done. His pulpit duties must therefore have the priority over every thing else in his thoughts and labours, and when that was done in a faithful, consistent and godly manner, they might confidently expect the divine blessing on their efforts however imperfect. The Rev. J. H. SYMINGTON, M.A., of Birkenhead (who with his family is staying in the neighbourhood) said he was very glad to be present in the meeting. He trusted Mr. Hillier would be the means of doing great good in his new sphere of labour, and that the Church members present would give heed to the able and shrewd remarks of Mr. Griffiths, especially that they should give Mr. Hillier their sympathy and their heart, for he (the speaker) was quite certain if the pastor could secure their hearts, he would very soon find his way to their purses, which was needful in these days in order to carry on the cause of Christ worthily. Mr. HILI.IF.U was next called upon to say a few words. He said that he could hardly realize the scene there that evening. He little thought, a few months back, that such a great and important epoch would transpire in his life, but it was true notwithstanding, and now that he had come among them, he had nought else to do but buckle on to work. He did not expect, nor would he try, to do all himself. But as far as honesty, fidelity, and devotion would tend to make the union between them a source of blessing, they might expect his coming to be a blessing. He earnestly requested their sympathy and prayers on his behalf. The Rev. J. R. HUGHES, Anglesey, was next called upon to deliver an address upon the duties of the Church towards its minister, towards itself, and towards the world at large. The Church should be an active, prayer- thi, and loving Church. The meeting was concluded by prayer by the Rev. E. Griffiths.
MR. OSBORNE MORGAN ON THE…
MR. OSBORNE MORGAN ON THE LAW OF PRIMOGENITURE. In the debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday, July 10th, on the Real Estate Intestacy Bill, Mr. Osborne Morgan defied anybody to say that reason, or nature, or justice, required that a man's property, whether real, leasehold, or personal, should go entirely to his eldest son and that his widow and his other children should be left destitute. The hon. member for Wexford had talked I about the natural devolution of property. Was it the natural devolution of property that the widow and younger children should be thrown penniless on the world ? [feir G. Bowyer—"I never said anything of the sort." Laughter.] If they defended such a law, they must do so on some strong ground of public policy. In the feudal ages, when all England was a fortified camp, and all land was held on military tenure, there was a strong ground of public policy for primogeniture, and primogeniture then prevailed. But when the circumstances on which it then rested had entirely disappeared, the law was no longer defensible. Surely the rule Cessante causa, cessat ipsa lex" should hold good in that case. The law had been changed in most countries, but not in Conservative Eng- land. Moreover, in feudal times, the severity of primo- geniture was tempered and moderated in a way in which it could not be now, because by custom, which had the force of law, the eldest son was then the protector of the family in a sense in which no eldest son could now be. By custom he was required and almost compelled to pro- vide portions for his sisters. His younger brothers, too, ate at his board, slept under his roof, and fought under his banner. Dower, also, in those times was a real pro- vision; but in later days the ingenuity of the conveyancers, seconded by the action of the Legislature, had so pared it down that it had ceased to be a provision for the widow at all. In listening to some of the opponents of that Bill, one might think it would interfere with the whole fabric of our territorial system, from the House of Lords down to the 40s. freeholder. (A laugh). But the measure did .a not in the least meddle with what were called family estates, which were settled estates. He would point out to the hon. member that it was very seldom that a man died intestate as regards landed estate, and that the other instances of intestacy were much rarer in cases of real than of personal property. No one proposed to curtail the existing powers of disposition. There were now and then cases in which, owing to sudden death or accident, or to the singular superstition that sometimes made persons reluctant to make a will, men died intestate as regards land. What, then, was the duty of the law? He took it that its best object was to do that which nature and reason and justice required, and to give effect to the probable wishes of the dead man himself. There had been a good deal of random talk on the subject, but lie might say that his experience of 16 or 17 years enabled him fully to confirm what had been said by the hon. member for Reading, that in four cases out of five small landed properties were given not to the eldest son, but were divided among the several children. (Hear). No doubt a man might sometimes devise even a small property to his eldest son, but that would not be done very often without making some provision for the younger children. As the law now stood, persons left their property less and less to the eldest son. There was also an artificial distinction between freehold and leasehold, but in some cases of which he knew the two were so completely mixed together that it was hardly possible to say which was which. There was another point of view from which it would be recognized that the Bill conferred benefits. It would greatly facilitate the transfer of land, and would do away with much of the cost of conveyancing. At any rate, he should vote for the Bill in the belief that it would remove an anomaly, all anachronism, and all injustice; and he thought that a time would come when men would merely wonder at the system that had been so long toler- ated. (Hear, hear).
"-THE RISE OF A^IAM" FACTURE.
THE RISE OF A^IAM" FACTURE. The following is from the Moralny l'ust :—It is difficult to conceive a. time when effervescing drinks were unknown, yet, as a matter of fact, the trade in aerated waters, important as it has now become both socially and com- mercially, is, so to speak, a thing of but yesterday. One of the first establishments in the kindom for the manufac- ture of aerated waters was founded in 182.), at Ruthin, Denbighshire, North Wales, by Mr. Robert Ellis, father of the present head of the firm of Messrs. R. Ellis and Son. The locality of Ruthin was undoubtedly chosen on account of the excellent quality of the water to be obtained there, and owing to this circumstance, and to the great care devoted to their preparation, the aerated waters man- ufactured by the firm soon gained a high place in public estimation, and in recent years the demand has increased so rapidly that large additions have had to be made to the extensive manufacturing premises. One of the earliest and most distinguished patrons of the Ruthin aerated waters was his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. Apart from their agreeableness as cooling and refreshing drinks, in recent days these waters have assumed an im- portance sufficient to elevate them into the tirst rauk of therapeutic agents. In order that the consumer may de- rive the full benefit, it is absolutely necessary that the ut- most care and cleanliness should be observed in their manufacture, and these desiderata are obtained to the greatest extent possible under the elaborate and scientific system pursued at the Ruthin Works. In the greater number of manufactories the processes of bottling and cork- ing are still performed by hand, but the pressure is so great that it resists all efforts to drive the cork down until a large part of the charge has escaped. By the adoption of an ingenious bottling machine Messrs. Ellis have remedied this defect, so that all the waters sent out from their estab- lishment contain the highest percentage possible of those chemical constituents which form the peculiarities of these artificial waters, such as soda, potass, lithia, champagne, champagne-lemonade, or water for table purposes simply charged with carbonic acid gas without any alkali. As a proof of the purity of the water used in the manufacture, it lllay be mentioned thatchemical analyses have shown that the water from the deep well on the premises at Ruthin only holds two grains of solid matter in solution, and has not a trace of organic matters hence it is that these waters are not likely to decompose,—in fact, as has been remarked concerning them, they could not possibly decompose if kept a thousand years. Naturally the effervescing bever- ages of Messrs. Ellis were at first better known in the North and West of England and in Wales than in the other parts of the kingdom or in London, but as their many excellences became known, the demand for them gradually spread, and "Ellis's Mineral Waters" are now household words, not only in the Principality and West of England, but also throughout the kingdom, and even in India and the Colonies. To give an idea of the enor- mous business carried on by the firm, it may be mentioned that the average daily output is considerably over 200 gross of bottles, equal to about 20,000,000 of bottles a year. It may safely be asserted that nowhere in the Kingdom can there be found a more conveniently ar- ranged, more scrupulously clean, or better fitted aerated water manufactory than is that of Messrs. Ellis and Son at Ruthin.
THE CHARGE AGAINST A FOREIGN…
THE CHARGE AGAINST A FOREIGN OFFICE CLERK. At Bow-street Police Court, on Tuesday afternoon, Jule 10th, before Alf. Vaughan, Charles Marven, des- cribed as a writer in the Foreign office, again surrendered to his bail to answer the charge of copying, appropriating, and wilfully stealing a secret document purporting to be a convention between England and Russi t, contrary to the pro- visions of the Larcency Act. Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. and Mr. Geo. Lewis, jun., apyeared for the defence.—Mr. Francis Irving, assistant in the treaty de- partment of the Foreign office, neposed that the defendant used his room for about 8 or 9 months, during which time he had always considered him a well informed and intelligent man, documents in a foreign language having feequently been handed to him to translate. He had every confidence in him. On the 30th May, defendant assisted in copying that project tho memorandum which was given to him in a printed form, witness having himself to make a copy. Defendant left that night at about half-past six o'clock. In Cross Examination, witness stated that he and others in the foreign office understood the documents they were copying were to be sent to the London newspapers that evening, and a conversation to this effect transpired before defendant. This concluded the evidence on the part of the Treasury. The magistrates said the charge against the defendant could not be sustained, as there was no evidence what- ever of any larceny having been committed by the de- fendant. Mr. Marvin was therefore discharged.
TWO NIGHTS AND A DAY IN AN…
TWO NIGHTS AND A DAY IN AN OPEN ISHAFT. Mr. Roberts, the district coroner for Carnarvonshire, held an inquest on Monday, July 15, at Bethesda touching the death of Richard Griffith, aged 20, an unmarried quarry labourer, living at Twr, Bryntirion. He had been employed about two months at the Puntdreiniog slate quarry, and with others, was locked out during the late strike. About four o clock on the morning of the 4th July, the day the men recommenced work, Owen Williams, the man in charge of the rope running down to the quarry, noticed a hat about six yards down the shaft. Going down he found the deceased in a semi-conscious state, lying in a cleft of the rock, and bleeding from a wound at the back of the head. He was taken home and attended by Drs. Hughes and Preece, but died on Saturday last. From statements made by him, it appeared that he started down the shaft by the chain on Wednesday night for the purpose of bringing up his tools, aad being subject to fits he fell. and being unable to move from the spot in which he was fftund, remained there two nights and a day. Theiury found that he died from injuries caused by the fall.

On Thursday, July 11, a shocking case of cruelty to a child was heard at Denbigh Borough Court. Joseph Blwor, gardener, of Denbigh, was brought up in custody, charged with beating his son, aged ten years. On the pre- vious day the prisoner went home drunk, and took the little fellow by the ear and neck and held him up whilst he beat him with his fist. Then, letting go, lie kicked the poor child on the side of the head across the kitchen. A farmer passing ran in, and helped a woman to rescue the child, who was unconscious and bleeding profusely from the head and ear. At first it was feared the child was dead, but he is recovering. The prisoner was sent to Ruthin gaol for fourteen days' hard labour, and ordered to find two sureties and enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace for six months at the expiration of his sentence. A serious street row happened at Denbigh last week. A man named Hugh Griffiths was charged with drunken and riotous conduct and assaulting the police. The evidence was most conflicting. It seems the man was going with the police quietly enough along High-street when somebody shouted, Throw yourself down, Hugh; don't go;" and he either did so or fell, and the police fell on him. The crowd numbered several hundred, and thinking the man was being ill-used they interfered for his rescue. One policeman, a witness said, was." knocked spinning heels over head." The police, not being able to force through the crowd, ran the man back to the town lock-up, followed by the crowd, yelling and threatening retaliation. An omnibus was obtained, and in that the man was conveyed with the greatest difficulty to the lock- up, a desperate effort being made to stop the conveyance and rescue the prisoner; and after he was lodged in gaol it was a long time before the disturbance was quelled. The Bench thought, although the man was drunk and in- capable, he was not riotous, and that the policeman appre- hending him used undue force. The case was dismissed, but the ringleaders of the riot are to be prosecuted. TIIROAT IRRITATION.—Soreness and dryness tickling and irritation, inducing cough and affecting the voice.
