Intpcrial ptrlntmcnt. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY. The House of Commons reassembled after the Whitsuntide recess. On the Report of Supply Mr Brjce stated, in auswer to some observations of Sir G. Campbell, that progress was being made with the reorganisation (If the Egyptian army, and that Sir II. Drummond Wolff had informed him that reports had exaggerated the mortality among the Briti&u troops) at Assouan, though he admitted their health WS not so good as might be (desired. r The Report of Supply having beon agreed to, the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill was brought in and read a first time. On consideration of the Returning Officers' Charges (Scotland) Bill, as amended, a long discussion was raised by the proposal of Mr Esslentont to recommit the Bill, witL the view of inserting a new Clause making the expenses of returning officers a charge upon the rates. This was opposed by Sir R. Cross, Mr Stanhope, Mr Duckham. and others, and supported by the Lord Advocate, Mr Labouchere, and Mr C. Williams. Upon a division the House resolved by ninety-one to thirty-five to go into Committee, when the proposed Clause was added to the Bill without further objection. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. A large number of Bills, including the Parliamentary Elections (Returning Officers' Expenses) Bill were brought from the Commons and read a first time. Lord Spencer, having named Monday for the second reading of the last mentioned Bill, Lord Salisbury gave notice that he should then move its rejection. The noble Marquess also intimated that he would this day ask whether the Government could give any information as to the reported and unexpected action of the French Government in the New Hebrides. HOUSE OF CQMMONS, THURSDAY. Mr J. Morley stated, in answer to Mr J. O'Brien, that the Irish Government had decided to issue a Com mission of Inquiry into the recent deplorable occurrences at Belfast, the origin and nature of the riots, the pro- ee,lings taken by the magistrates and other authorities for their prevention and suppression, and the action of the police on the occasion. Mr Spensley asked whether the Government had any definite knowledge of the asserted massacre of French citizens at the New Hebrides, and Sir M. Beach supplemented the inquiry by askintr whether they had received information as to the alleged hoist- ing of the French flag, and what commtinications had passed between the two Governments on the subject. Mr Bryce replied that the only official information possessed by the Government on the first matter was derived from 51. de Freycinet's statement to Lord Lyons, that the French ships despatched to the New Hebrides were iJent there for the protection of other French subjects, and that, while it was possible a tem- porary post-might be established until quiet was re- stored, it was not intended to occupy the islands, or do anything in contravention of the agreement with Great Britaitt to-re^ect their independence. !Lord Lyons had been directed to call the immediate attention of the French Government to the matter. andinquire respect- ing tfee ciretfrstances under wtrich it took place, and as to the-particulars ot the m&ssacre of French sub-, jects. Ob the order for reading the'Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill a second time, -Sir Lyon Playfair made the annual statement em public education. The esthnatefor the coming year amounted, he explained,: to j £ 3,422„9Sl, beine an increase df £ 123,092 over the previous.v>year, which resulted entirely from the io-; creased»attendance and increased efficiency at examina- tions. *In London the increase in the number of' lahildre-- had been so large that great efforts were accessary to meet it, the average'increase being 12,<900 a year. ? The Lord Advocate made the annual statement on? 4$ie sfebject of Scotch National Education. ;J HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY. Lord Houghton moved to insert in the Eleebrio Lighting Act (1882) Amendment Bill a clause providing that in cases where locaii authorities unreasonably "re- fused their assent to a Provisional Order for the •estfe'alishment af an electric lighting scheme, the Board of trade should be empowered ts override their decision. The motion was opposed by Lord Bury, on the ground! that: it had been rejected byrthe Select Committee on fchs Bill. On a division it was negatived by 37 to .24. HOUSE OF 'COMMONS, FRIDAY. Mr Bryce stated is reply to Sir H. Holland, that a telegram had been received from Lord Lyons to the eSect that he had that morning seen M. de Freyciuet, sfv;iio informed him that no intelligence had been re- ceived by the Government of the Republic of the hoist- ing of the French flag in the.New Hebrides but that on Thursday the French Government telegraphed to the Governor of New-Caledonia instructing him that if the hoisting of the flag had taken place it should at 3nce be discontinued. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.'it was agreed that the House, at its rising, should adfjoitm till Monday. The Consolidated Fund (impropriation) Bill was passed through committee. The Shop Hours Regulation -Bill was opposed on the third readiug by Mr Bentinak, who took a division against it but the BVfl was read a third time by *84 to 17. A large number of Billy having been read a thi¡;d time, at eight o'clock the House was counted out. HOUSE (W LORDS SATURDAY. The House sat for a few minutes for the purpose of advancing some private bills a stage, amongst themibe Metropolitan Board of Woiks Bill, which was read a third time. Several Bills were also brought from the Commons and read a first time, including the Shop Hours Regulation Bill and the probation of the Firet Otleaders Bill. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. Lord Spencer, having moved the Second Reading of the Parliamentary Elections (Returning Officers) Act ) (1875) Amendment Bill, Lord Salisbury complained that by their action on the measure the Government had violated the pledge given by the Prime Minister; with regard to the abandonment of contentious busi- ness. He strongly objected to the clause which charged the returning officers' expanses upon the rates, and which was introduced into the Bill in the Com- mons at three in the morning, on a .ctage which made its reconsideration almost impossible, The noble Marquess then moved the rejection of the Bill, but intimated his willingness to withdraw his opposition if the Government would withdraw the objectionable clauses and restore the measure to its original shape. Lord Kimberley, while expressing approval of the policy of the Bill, consented to the omission of those parts of the measure to which the noble Marquess objected rather than sacrifice the whole Bill. Upon this understanding the Bill was read a second time. The Secoud Reading of the Tithe Rent-charge Ex- traordinary Redemption Bill wis moved iby Lord Sude- ley, who explained that, though not a Government measure, it was raken up by the Government as a fair compromise on the question of extraordinary tithe rent- charge. The Second Reading was agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. Mr Stafford Howard informed Mr Ashmead-Bart- -lett that there was no truth in the recent report that Colonel Lockhart and his Mission party had been seized and imprisoned in Badakshan. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having mo-yed that the House at its rising do adjourn until Thursday, explained, at the instance of Sir M. Beach, that the House would then meet to receive the business that might come from the Lords, and that no other would be dealt with. The prorogation would take place on Friday, and the dissolution on Saturday. On the order for reading the Appropriation Bill a third time, Mr Bryce stated, in anewer to an inquiry by Sir W. Barttlelot respecting French action in the New Hebrides, that her Majesty's Government had 'frankly and fully given the House all the information they possessed on the subject, and concealed nothing. The House might be assured that the matter was proceeding in a manner that was equallj satisfactory to the people of England and of Australia. In committee on the East Indian revenue accounts Mr Stafford Howard made the annual Budget state- ment. The revenue for the current year, 1886-87, was estimated at £75,799,000, and the expenditure at £ 75,617,000. It was proposed to expend on railways and irrigation works not charged to revenue, and on special defence works, £ 5,869,000, and 1;o provide by borrowing a sum of £ 4,571,000. With respect to Burmah, the latest reports as to the pacification of the country were more favourable, and no serious deficit was anticipated in the collection of the revenue. On a review of the whole situation, apart from the question of silver, which was severely exercising the mind of the Indian Government, the hen. gentleman maintained that the finances of India were not in so bad a state as might be inferred from an amendment of which notice had been given. In the course of subsequent discussion Lord R. Churchill remarked that, though the state of Indian j finance did not present a rosy hue, there was no cause for anxiety. It had been reported that an agreement had been come to with a French Syndicate to work the petroleum springs and the ruby mines in Upper Bur- in ah, but he trusted this was not correct. I The debate was continued for several hours, HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY. A large number of Bills were advanced a stage. Amongst them the Parliamentary Elections (Returning 1 Officers' Act, 1875) Amendment Bill was passed through committee, the clauses making the returning officers' expenses a charge upon the local rates and the accompanying schedule of expenses having been first struck out, in accordance with the understanding come to between Lord Salisbury and Lord Kimberley on the previous rluy. 4- Thd probation of First Offenders Bill, which stood fur s^eoud readiug. was opposed by the Government, Lord Sndeley pointing out that its passing the Coinifons unanimously was owing to accidental ciroum- stances, and Lord Halsbury objecting that it would be unworkable. The Bill was finally withdrawn. The Shop Hours Regulation Bill was passed through committee, after a clause had been added limiting the operation of the Act to the 31st December, 188S. The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill was read a second time. and at ten minutes past eight their lordships adjourned until three o'clock on Wednesday.

————— —— ———— TH"\i: PREMIER AND WELSH APPOINT MENTS. Mr Henry Richard, M.P., having written to Mr Gladstone on behalf ot some of the members for Wales and Monmouthshire representing a strong feeling of re- gret and dissatisfaction prevailing in that part of the country on account of the recent appointment to an inspectorship of mines in South Wales of a person un- acquainted with the Welsh language, has received the following reply Dear Mr RICHARD,—I have received your letter, and thank you for the kind tone in which you write. I write I may say that we fully recognise the real importance of 'n appointing to offices in Wales persons who speak Welsh but experience as assistance-inspector must have great weight in promotions in the mines department, and diffi- culty was found to exist on the recent occasion to which you refer. I sincerely hope that hereafter the same diffi- culty may not be found to recur.

-0 NORTH WALES LIBERAL FEDER- ATION. On Tuesday a conference was held in Rhyl Town Hall, for the purpose of establishing a North Wales Liberal Federation, as recently suggested by the Wrex- ham Liberal Association. There was a numerous atten- dance of delegates from a large number of Liberal asso- ciations in the six North Wales counties, there being also present several from Liverpool. At the morning conference, at eleven a. in., Mr W. Hawkins Tilston, of Wrexham, the convener, read a large number of letters from delegates uaaMe to be present.—Mr James Taylor, Rhyl was elected chairman. He presumed the meetiug had been called more for work than for talk. (Hear, hear,) He could not, however, help saying that, so far as he personally was concerned, he was an wnyielding Gladstonian. (Cheers.) He would give in to no man in his warm admiration of Mr Gladstone and inkis constant adhesion of his .principles, (Cheers.) As then were ninety-nine matters on which Mr Gladstone and all Libe -als were in full accord, one subject ou which there vas not that full accord should not be allowed to disunite the party. (Applause). He cofsgratul&ted'the meeting on the large number of re- presentatives which had been brought together from parts of therthern Principality. (Cheers). MrTd- sten was elated secretary, and a committee wa.«; appointed to-draft resolutions to be submitted to the; afteruoon mceting.-A delegate asked if it would be; competent for the committee to draw out a resolution; 00 Mr Gladstone's Irish policy. There might be Unionists present, and he thought the federation! ehould deal exclusively with Welsh questions.—Dr. Sasterby, "St. Asaph, thought the 'matter might be left to the discretion of the coRnmifitee. (Cheers). Mc "S. Roberts, Llandudno, suggested that the conference should be adjourned until September, owing to lolze fact that the country was at present in a politically disturbed-state, and the representation of North Wales associations was not sufficiently adequate, there beingfor instance,' but three out of forty Carnarvonshire associa- ttiODs represented. -ProfessorE. Edwards Bala,consider- ed thatrtheir proceedings that day would be only pre- paratory to another and more papular meeting, and they might be well assured that whatever was decided upon would be heartily and generally approvel of. (Cheers).-The Secretary announced that the first I resolution would settle the question whether or tio it I' was desirable to establish a fforth Wales (Liberal Federation. He thought the present crisis had demonstrated the necessity of having some organization to point out the feeling of Wales on different subjects affectiag the Principality's '^welfare. (Ajgplause.) There was certainly a national feeling existing on many subjects, but it was at present difficult for their members to get at it. (Applause.)—The Rev T. J. WheMon (Festiniog) proposed that a federation should be established. The resolution was seconded by Mr J. Herbert Lewis, and carried unanimously.—IT'he meet- ing thea proceeded to consider the draft rules, which, having been passed, are to be submitted to the various local associations, and fin«lly passed at another general meeting. The morning proceedings terminated with a I vote of thanks to Mr Taylor for presiding. THE AFTERNOON .^SITTING. Mr W. R. Erans, Wrexham, was chosen to preside J over the afternoon meeting. TThe first business was the appointment of the followitig gentlemen as a com- mittee to assist the secretary in making preparations for the next meeting :-The-chairinaii, Mr James Taylor, Rhyl; Rev T.
