NOTES ()FT1IE WEEK. The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph has given universal satisfaction in ihp diocese by the appointment of the Rev Edward Smart, of Denbigh, to the vacant archdeaconry of St. Asaph, formerly held by the Rev Hugh Morgan, M.A.of Rhyl. Mr Smart is one of the oldest and most successful workers in the diocese. +- Llanrwst Eisteddfod was commenced yester- day, when the attendance was miserably thin, though accommodation was provided for an audience of three hundred. The chair was taken by the veteran bard and divine,. Dr WIll. Rees (Gwilym Hiraethog). « Mr Morgan Lloyd, M.P., h:18 given an abso- lute contradiction to the rumour which has been set afloat in Anglesey that he would probably retire from the representation of that county at the next election, and in doing so he says the absurdity of the rumour is its own refutation. —♦ A most distressing occurrence took place at Llanberis on Tuesday. A you.ig man from Rhyl, son of Eos Brad wen, a well-known Welsh musician, visited the place with an excursion, and whilst bathing in the lake is supposed to have been struck with cramp and sank. He was known to be an excellent swimmer. The body has not been found, though diving operations have been mads. At the international competition of choirs, for which the Carnarvon Choral Union had entered. and prepared themselves, in connection with the Paris Universal Exhibition at the Trocadero, on Tuesday last, Mr Henry Leslie's choir gained the first prize f urtique), a handsome vase of modern Sevres and a gold medal, by the unanimous decision of the judges, who consisted of many of the most distinguished French and English composers and artistes, under the presidency of M. Am- broise Thomas. + In another column will be found a summary from the report of the National Life-boat In- stitution, giving an account of services rendered on the coast of North "Wales during the first quarter this year. The number of li ves and the value of property saved is, in proportion, greater that in any other corresponding length of seaboard, and it is not rarely that the in- habitants are deeply interested in the property. But it is a singular fact. that the support given to this most laudable and humane of instituteons in North Wales is a mere nothing. The work of the institution, as well as its rewords for bravery, demands an enormous sum of money, and it is fortunate that there are people iu this country more benevolent than in North "Wales. The Rev Thomas Richardson, M.A., who has succeeded to the living of Rhyl, was educated at Jesus College, Oxford, and graduated B.A. in 1847. In 1849 he was ordained by Bishop Wilberforce, and in April of the following year appointed curate in sole charge of Fishguard, Pembrokeshire; and in 18,32, the Lord Chan- cellor (Lord St. Leonards) preferred him to the vicarage of Fishguard. Here he remained until 1804, when he was selected as head master of the Collegiate and Chapter School, St, David's, Bishop's vicar, minor canon of the cathedral, and also curate of the Welsh church. Mr Richardson Laboured in these spheres for a period of thirteen years,, and in 1867 was col- lated to the vicarage of Bayvil Cwmvoylgrover by the Lord Chancellor (Lord Chelmsford). In the succeeding year he was appointed vicar of /vey by tue uiiurch Patronage Trustees. Mr Richardson has published several English and some Welsh sermons.

Lord BeaconsfieM has made another successful stroke in his new policy of Imperialism. No one lias ever sounded so thoroughly the weak joints in the Liberal harness, or has profited so frequently by the mistakes of rivals. The Utilitarian school of Radicals, if they did not say "Perish India! evidently acted as if our Colonies were only worth keeping on the milchcoir principle. In opposition to this, the Conservative policy hbs wisely been to draw the links still more closely between the colonies m:d the mothev country, and to fo. ter that sentiment of Great Britain or England be- yond the seas which Liberals of the school of Lowe and Fawcett had unwisely neglected. Lord Bcacousneld never did a more successful stroke in opposition to that party than in advising the ap- pointment of the Marquis of Lotne to the Governor-Generalship of Canada. That the; Prin- cess Marchioness will gain golden opinions out there, aucl conciliato Canadian sentiment in every way, scarcely admits of a question and iS there are fool sh people who might consider it banish- ment to live one-half of the year at Ottawa and the othsr at Montreal, luckily, our iloyal Family take a more sensible view of life, and in all probability the Princess will feel it an escape from a semi- regal position in this country to fill d position in Canada which is truly vice-regal. In any case, if the Dominion and the UldCountn" are to be linked together, it is by a policy such as that which is re- presented by this new appointment, concerning the wisdom of which I only hear one opinion everywhere. The policy of the Opposition in the Upper House was so feeble and half-hearted that we looked with some inipauieuce to see whether more would come of the debate in the Lower House but it has been a sham-fight all along the line; for, of course, the personal encounter between Lord Beaconsfield and Mr Gladstone should not be permitted to blind us in an estimate of the real merits of the debate. The country, indeed, as the Observer truly remarked the other day, is not io be roused for a mere point of honour. Lord Beacons- field returned a fortnight ago bringing peace with him,, and, as he added, it is a peace with honour. The Opposition cannot gainsay the substantial part of the averment, that it is peace; and as to the expression that it is with honour, it is not so easy to prove a negative, and to show that it is not. The fact is that the Opposition are non- plussed by Lord Beaconsfield, much in the same way as the French Liberals were by the plebiscite of the French Emperor in 1870, on the eve of the row. France was asked to say "Yes" or "No" to the question did she desire peace under the Im- peruu dynasty ? If they voted Yes," then they voted for the dynasty; it "No," then they voted C, against peace. The Liberals, in the same jvay, in this country cannot vote against peace, or they would side with the Jingoes hence their opposi- tion h a hollow one, and they know it. It is a happy sign of peace that the Reserves called out in April are now to be sent home, and, in fact, in many cases, will be back to beat their speara into pruning-hooks, if too late to beat their swords into ploughshares this year. A returned rest-rvist out harvesting will be a sight which will glad-den us more than the most brilliant victory which we could gain by sea or land. Let us hope that we shall Salim see our fleet back from the Dar- danelles as well. The Buke of Cambridge is to review the reserve forces before sending them home. XVould it not be as well to hold a grand naval review in the Channel on the return of the Mediterranean ileet ? Admiral Hornby has de- served well of the country. He has acted with great prudence- as well as promptness, and has shown all the highest qualities of a commander. The country can appreciate good service, even where there has been no occasion for dash or daring but we may be certain that, had the "ne- cessity arisen, the honour of the flag would have been upheld as in the best days of the Navy. Thit Government have set their minds- upon passing the Bishopric Bill, in spite of the threat- ened opposition of the Member for Newcastle, who has made up his mind not to vote for anything that will improve the Church, because all such measures will tend to defer Disestablishment. The Bishopric Bill has passed the House of Lords; it has been read twice in the House of Commons so it ought certainly to get through its last stage. before the period sacred to grouse-shooting The Welsh Churchmen are anxious to have the Princi- pality restored to its former dignity as an Arch- bishopric. But even the elevation-of the Bishopric of ISt. David's into a Primacy will not wean Wfcjshmen from their invincible proclivity for Dis- sent. Sir Charles Dilke's speech on the grant to the Duke of Connaught increased the popular estimate d his ability as much as it damaged his chances of becoming a Cabinet Minister. He is too far ahead ()J the majority of his party to lead them. Never- theless, he has some ardent sympathisers. "The Labour Representation League," which meets in a little street Hoiug out of the Strand, has passed a resolution thanking the 33 Members who voted with Sir Charles Dilke for their fearless conduct." The League abstains from expressing any opinion ifpoH the general subjects of grants to members of the Royal Family, but it is clearly of opinion that no such grants should be made in times of great commercial depression like the present. It was intended to give 1200 gold medals at the Paris Exhibition» It has been dc-te: mined, how- ever, to reduce the medals to half their proposed size, and to award double the number. There will be, thus, a whole army of medalists. Mr Percy Fitsgernld raised a question the ctlier day in one of the magazines which it is much easier to ask than to anawci. He wished to know why life is not made a little gayer and brighter, for th i, class which we superciliously call the masses ? Why, for instance, is their not a band on fine afternoons at some paint on the embankment, say the new pardons from the Charing Cross to Waterloo Bridge, and open-air erfqs sprinkled abeut with lemonade and cheap drinks as in every ether capital in Europe ? We may well ask why! It is positively humiliating to contrast sueh second- rate capitals as Turin and Dresden, for instance, in thus respect witlf our huge Metropolis. We have at h.t secured a few open spaces, especially along; the river, but have not learned as yet to utilize ths far?ist site in Rurope. Now, that Cleopatra's. Needle is all but erect, would it not be graceful if onr Metropolitan Board of Works restied them- selves to make the spot attractive, which might easily be done with a band of music and a few- cheap refreshment-stalls. Must we wait till some Erasmus Wilson or Sir Richard Wallace puts us to the blush by doing it for us? Mr Han-ison Weir, the famous animal painter, has gone very near losing his eyesight. In re- moving the cork from a bottle containing a strong solution of amnrfmia, the contents spurted into his face, and the noxious gas which was thereby gen- erated would, but for In" presence of mind, have deprived him of*life. He stleceeded-blinded for the instant—in half staggering, half creeping to the door of his studio, and, inhaling a breath of frec-h air," was able to call feebly for assistance. His face presented a pitiable appearance. The skin was blackened and lmng down in strips, and lie, could not see. His friends and numerous ad-

AFTER THE FIGHT. In the Exhibition this year there is a picture which h as munh merit. The conception at least h admirable, though the execution is open to criticism. It is a picture of the retreat from Quatre Bras. The strategic movement in the rear which "Wellington executed with such coolness and daring in face of an advancing foe. But tho interest in the picture centres in the puzzled and very varied expression of the troops, some of whom are advancing waving their swords to salute Wellington but others are retreating and so are marching grimly on as if they took amiss the strategic movement to the rear, the meaning of which they do not understand, and which, accordingly, seemed to them to be only another name for a retreat. Wellington is seen in the middle un- moved and imperturbable between the cheers of some of his troops and the gloom of others. IIe has his plat, has made up his mind where ho Lt( to take his stand, and can afford to wait a few days till his strategy is understood and the splendid success of Waterloo has re- deemed his reputation from the temporary eloud which passed over it in consequence of the retreat from Quatre-Bras. The week before the signing of the Treaty of Berlin was a season of light and shade, of hopes and fears, not unlike the two days after Quartre-Bras, and before Waterl-o- To the strong anti-Russian party in the country, which includes not only the Turlrophils properly so called, and the Jin- goes improperly so called, but also a respect- able minority of Liberals, like Mr Cowen of Newcastle and others, it seemed as if we had been beaten in the Congress. We had at least got the worst of it as much as "Wellington had been punished by Key's onslaught at Quartre- Bras. There were black looks not only among the rear ranks of the Tory,party but even among others, who, however they distrusted Lord Beaconsfield, expected him to stand up for Batoum and to leave Berlin rather than surren- der this ipoint to the Russians. Their dissap- pointment for a day or two amounted to something like consternation, and now it is all over it is somewhat amusing to look back on it and compare their feelings before and after the an- nouncement of the Secret Treaty of protection to Turkey and the session of Cyprus. We know no better illustration than to comparo it with what the army must have thought of Wellington on the evening of the 16th and of the ISth of June after Quatre-Brass and after Waterloo. It was then seen that his retreat was a mere feint, a stratagem to draw the enemy on to attack him at Waterloo, on his own battle-grom.,1, which he had long before ONVII marked out as the point where he would make his real stand. In the same way tho grumblers of a few days ago are now the fondest in de- claring their satisfaction with the Ministerial policy. All is now explained; the Secret Treaty has put them in good humour with themselves and their commander-in-chief. It is a lesson in party discipline which even the well-drilled ranks of the Conservative party have to to learn. During the whole of this Eastern imbroglio, there has been far too much passion and prejudice imported into the question on both sides, and there is no doubt that such personalities as those in which Lord Beacons- field indulged on Saturday, to which the Mar- quis of Heartington sharply and tartly replied on Monday night, and to which Mr Gladstone referred on Tuesday night, do nothing but dis- credit us abroad, strengthen the opinion freely expressed on the Continent that, after all, in England the Eastern Question is only made the foot-ball of party. Drylight, as Baconcalls it, is a rare commodity, since dry men are seldom humorous, and light generally brings heat and confusion with it. If Lord Derby, for Instance, had Mr Gladstone's fire and fervour, Mr Glad- stone Lord Derby's calm good sense, what a prodigy we should have. 0 As it is, we must take our statesmen as we got them, and put np with their faults for She sake of their excellen- cies. But we should hope, by this time, the passionate Turkophilsf who call themselves Tories, for no other reason than because they dislike Mr Gladstone's Bulgaria crusade will see how they have managed their own com- manders. The new policy has perils of its own, and is adventurous enough in all conscience even for Tancred himself; but it at least is a policy, and as such is safer than the shuffling hand-to-mouth expedients of Lord Derby's regime at the Foreign Office. We must see the new policy out to the end. It has enlarged our responsibilities; but it is the fate of Empires to go on annexing territory. If we cannot hold our hand, we have at least the excuse that Russia has forced us to take thjs last step.
