THE COMING SESSION.
THE COMING SESSION. Most of the announcements that usually piecede the opening of a new session of Parlia- ment have now been made. Mr Gladstone, Lord Granville, and Lord Salisbury have is- sued the customary circulars to their respective supporters in both houses, and any delay in the sending out of Sir Stafford Northcote's circu- lar is owing tohis absence on a health-recruiting cruise. There will not be the same need, as on ordinary occasions, for the holding of a number of Cabinet Council meetings previous to the epening, as the most important of the measures to be introduced may be regarded as ready-made on account of the block of business in the two previous sessions, arising out of the urgent claims of Ireland to attention having caused their postponement. The country, be- cause of the heavy arrears on legislation, ex- pects the ensuing session to be a laborious one, and the wording of the Prime Minister's circular to his supporters indicates, clearly enough, that he at least is firmly resolved on making it yield some good results. Since the work is expected to be arduous, it is fortunate that Mr Gladstone, according to the latest reports of the great benefit he has derived from his short stay at Cannes, will be in excellent form for resuming his duties with vigour when he appears in his place in Parlia- ment. Notwithstanding his advanced age, and the remarkable circumstance that fifty years of active public life as a politician and statesman have passed over his head, the rapidity with which a marked improvement was effected in his health by complete change of air, shows that his constitution has still staving power enough to sustain any amount of intellectual work. His readiness of resource, his quickness in apprehending the leading points of any question, the facility with which he can on the spot rebut the arguments of opponents, and his long parliamentary experience serve to lighten the strain of constant and arduous work which would prove too much for him if he were not so richly endowed with mental swiftness of movement and debating force. In addition to Mr Gladstone's restoration to perfect health, another circumstance, auguring well for the amount of work to be got through in the course of the coming session, is the strentgh of the Ministry, which has now its full comple- ment of members, all of them well-fitted for the posts to which they have been appointed in the re-adjustments which have taken place. It is likely that Mr Gladstone, instead of himself introducing personally any of the great measures which are to be brought forward, will devolve the duty upon Ministerial colleagues, selected for the purpose but he will exercise a controlling influence over the measures in their progress through Parlia- ment, makiag it felt in the House of Lords as well as in the House of Commons, and he is sure to take a prominent part in all the debates in the latter house. Yet another cause for satisfaction and of good augury is the fact that the new rules of procedure, passed at the supplementary autumn session, are now in force, and in readiness for use when the old obstructive tactics, which have done so much of late years to retard legislative business, are again resorted to by members of the Opposition in the Parnellite faction among the Home Rulers. It is not to be expected that the Lew rules will at once put a stop to the perverse course of the Obstructionists, but they will at least prevent so much valuable time from running to absolute waste. The stream of questions, many of them frivolous in charac- ter, put to Secretaries of State will continue to flow on as before p nd attempts are sure to be made to start debates on all sorts of questions, though it may be felt from the outset that they can only end in smoke. Recently a Conser- vative member of the House of Commons, when addressing his constituents, remarked, that it was quite possible Ireland might again use up a large portion of the attention of Parliament in the forthcoming session." The observation I which preceded the remark seems to indicate that he would be rather pleased, than other- wise, if such were to be the case, as he evidently entert-uued a strong dislike for the nature of the measures which it was expected the Gov- j ernment meant to bring forward. There is no I doubt the irrepressible Irish members will be again often enough on their feet, and that they will avail themselves with avidity of every I opportunity they can seize to launch out in heir wild and denunciatory harangues. It might help to shut their mouths, by depriving I them of what would be sure to form a rich quarry for questions, if the trial of the prison- ers-* whose connection with the Phoenix Park assasinations and other atrocities seem to have been pretty well esta,lishe 1 by the preliminary examinations at the Kilmainham Court House -were brought to a close before the date of the meeting of Parliament. As regards the measures to be brought forward by the Government, some of which were specially mentioned in the Queen's Speech at the opening last session, the Ministry may feel some little difficulty in determining the order of their in- troduction. It is a question for consideration whether the County Government Bill should precede the County Franchise Biil, or whether the latter should precede the former. The pro- bability is in favour of the County Government Bill taking precedence, and of the County Franchise Bill being postponed until another session. The more this question of the equali- sation of the county and borough franchise is considered, the more desirable does it seem that the new measure shall have its complement in a redistribution of seats, which has* become ab- solutely necessaiy on account of the great changes with regard to the migration of popu- lation from counties to boroughs whiih has taken place since the last redistribution of seats. In Ireland there are some boroughs which, on account of the paucity of voters, are little better than the pocket or rotten boroughs which were disfranchised by the Reform Act of 1832. In order to equalise the rep esentation, which is at present in a very unsatisfactory state, it would be necessary to diminish the number of county members, and to increase the number of members for the larger class of boroughs. A measure of this kind, making large changes in the representation, could not fail to be strongly opposed, and its passage through Parliament would certainly last the best part of a session. Under these circum- stances the country will not grumble if other promised measures are taken up before the Government see their way to enter upon a new stage of Parliamentary reform.
OARNARVON TOWN COUNCIL.
OARNARVON TOWN COUNCIL. Although the cloture has been introduced into this council, little reform has resulted. Tu.lk is:so abundant as ever, and real work as slowly proceeded with as of old. The passing of a resolution restricting speakers to certain limits has proved an utter failure in the council; yet it is to be hoped that the day is not far off when fair debating may be expected at the meetings. At present if a certain member or members bring forward a resolution—whatever that resolution may be—the opponents are ready for their attack. It is not a matter of fail argument in one out of ten of the discus sions of the Carnarvon Town Council, but all questions are discussed and solved on the prin- ciple of personal feeling of the majority towards the mover or seconder. Several motions which would have been a lasting benefit to the town have been quashed at the council because the movers of such resolutions happened to be-not to say unpopular-straightforward men. At the last meeting of the council a resolution was proposed by Dr Kirk to the effect that all the accounts of the gas committee should be sub- mitted to the finance committee. Coming from Dr Kirk the motion immediately found an op- poser in Mr Richard Thomas-a member who, for some reason or other, generally opposes everything emanating from the mover of this resolution. It also goes without saying that Mr De Winton felt disposed to do the same thing as Mr Richard Thomas, and a few more of the same party immediately followed, criticising the idea of putting the finances of the gas committee under the control of a super- ior committee. Dr Kirk stated that the act of Parliament required that the whole accounts of the corporation should be handed over to the finance committee, and that there were no reasons whatever for excluding the gas com- mittee. Although Dr Kirk read out the clause in the said act, little did the opposers of the movement care as to what the act said. Mr De Winton stated that the financial portion of the gas undertaking formed part of the manage- ment, and that the spirit of the act of Parlia- ment referred to did not object to gas commit- tees conducting their own finances. However, several councillors agreed with Dr Kirk that the gas commit tee ought to be put on the same footing as the other committees, and argued in favour of the resolution. Mr W. P. Williams advanced an objection to the resolution, stating, in an indignant tone, that it reflected on the gas committee and implied that the corporation had no confidence in the committee. This was the only objection offered, and the weakness of it is at once evident to the most simple- minded ratepayer in the borough. To put forth such an objection as that showed that the lack of confidence, as Dr Kirk said, was in Mr W. P. Williams himself, inasmuch as he could not trust the finance committee with the finances of the gas committee. Why should the gas committee have en- tire control over their own accounts more than other committees it is difficult to know, and why should the members of the gas committee object to lay their accounts before a superior committee is a question still more difficult to comprehend. However, the original motion, which was undoubtedly a perfectly fair one, and one which certainly ought to have been carried, was lost by eleven votes to seven. We trust Dr Kirk will be pleased to bring the matter before the council again, and that the members will look it in the face, and discuss it on its merits and not on the principle of personal feeling.

THE BARBER'S BENCH.I
THE BARBER'S BENCH. I [BY LOUIS LATHERLEY.] 1 Omnibus notion toii sorib as. -HORACE. SIR,-I see that my friend, John Trevor I Williams, Esq., has bid me adieu. Well, the best of friends must part some times, and therefore I must not grumble. But perhaps we may, after all, meet "once again" on another subject. Let us hope so. I understand that a Tory contemporary pre- dicts that a writing competition is about to take place between Mr T. J. Williams and the writer of the "Barber's Bench." The paper in question might have gone further and stated that the competition had been extended. The writer of the paragraph in the Tory paper asked to be admitted to the competition, but Mr.:J T. Williams, from 801 sense of fairness, immediately withdrew, thinking that it would be unbecoming and unmanly in him to compete with such an inferior writer as the third party. However, the third party, thinking himself very "big," began to snub Mr J. T. Williams for ignoring him as a competitor. Why," said the third party man, I am as good as any of you." Are you P" asked Mr Wil- liams then give a specimen of your com- positions." 0, yes,"isaid the Tory, here are i y specimens for you. Some time ago I trans- lated such a sentence as the following from Eng- lish to WTelsh:—' Robert Wilson, the donkey- man, gave evidence,' &c. Ilhoddodd llohrl Wilson, dyn y mill, dystiolaeth&c." If that is your specimen," said Mr J. T. Williams, "I would hate myself if I went so cowardly as to compete with you," and thus the competition collapsed, Where are the Saturday night concerts gone to ? They were promised to be given weekly during the winter months. I have no doubt myself that the idea of holding such concerts was a good one, and well worthy of support; and had the gentleman whose name was asso- ciated with them taken a respectable townsman as a partner in the undertaking, the success of the concerts would have been secured. It was too much work for one man to make all the arrangements connected with the concerts; and had the promoter 01 them agreed with a trust- worthy and energetic man as a partner, there would have been no question as to the issue. Nothing does a man more good than for some of his enemies to envy his success so is it in our line. My master, Mr Shavecut, is one of those who are envied, and there is nothing he values more than this. A newsagent from a populous country place came to this shop one day last week, and after having spoken a few words with him, I asked him how was business with him. Oh, mid- dling," said he. "Youget almost enough for your keeping from the newspapers alone now," I remarked. "I wished I did," said he. Well, you sell great many of them, don't you ? Well, yes; and one of them is sup- plied to me very cheaply too. The publisher' sends me three times the number I want, and the traveller comes round and sells the re- maining two-thirds for a penny a pound. Cheap literature, isn't it ? and a grand way to make a large circulation appear on the bo oks of the publisher. Although there was sufficient ground to sus- tain the charge, it is stated that Bishop Lewis has abandoned his idea of bringing a charge of misrepresentation against the proprietor of the Cheekall Journal.

CARNARVONSHIRE HUNT STEEPLE- CHASES. This meeting, which was abandoned last year owing to local circumstances, was on Thursday revived with a success which is attributable in a marked degree to the energy of Captain Kinsey Hayward and the liberality of Mr Sydney Platt, master of the hunt. The course was the old one, over the Pen-y-gelli farm, and, the day being exceptionally fine, there was a very large attend- ance. The two chief events were scored by Lord Eocksavage's representatives, ridden by Mr Arthur Brocklehurst, whose magnificent riding evoked much cheering.

DISPUTE OVER AN ANGLESEY TENEMENT.
DISPUTE OVER AN ANGLESEY TENEMENT. BULKELEY V. MEYRICK AND ROGERS. At the Chester Assizes on Monday an action of ejectment was brought by Sir Richard Bulkeley, as the owner of the Baron Hill estates, against Mrs Rogers (widow of the late W. F. Rogers, a well known contractor) and the Rev J. W. Mey- rick, rector oi Beaumaris. Mr Mclntyre, Q.C., M P., Mr Swetenham, Q.C., and Mr Marshall (in- structed by Mr J. Rice Roberts) app .wed for the plaintiff, and Mr Morgan Lloyd, Q.C M.P., and Mr Clement Higgins (instructed by Messrs W. Morris and Howard Jones, and Mr J. Glynne Jones) appeared for the defendants -The action was brought to recover possession of a s nail farm of about 16 acres, called Tir Garni, situate in the parish of Llandegfan, in Anglesey, under the fol- lowing circumstances:—About the year 1853 Mr Rogers became tenant under the late Sir Richard Bulkeley, of Pen .v-pare, forming part of the Baron Hill estates, and containing about 60 acres. He subsequently erected farm buildings and put the premises in thorough repair, which incurred an outlay of about £2000. In 1871 Mr Rogers died, £ond shortly atter Mrs Rogers, the defendant, who continued iia possession, received notice to quit. Communicatio. s passed as to tie amount of compensation to be awarded to her, in :respect of the improvements upon the farm. It was ulti- mately agreed that she should occupy Tir Garm free of rent during her life, s; e paying tithe rents, &c. An agreemeut was then drawn up by Mr Laurie, the agent for the Baron Hill estates, in the following termsBaron Hill, 18th Feb., 1874. Mrs Ellen Rogers, vidow of the late T. Rogers, Pen-y-parc, is to have a lease during her natural life of Tir Garm dwel- ling-house, part of the out-buildings, and two fields containing 16 ac es or thereabouts, free of rent,but the said Ellen Roge-s is to pay all rates, tithes,,law tax, &c., &c. The house and buildings are to be kept and left in proper repair. R. B. WILLIAMS BULKELEY." In the following April Mrs Rogers entered into possession of Tir Garm under the agreement. In 1875 the late baronet died, and the plaintiff succeeded to the e tates. Mrs Rogers continued in possesion until 1881. As her health was failing Mrs Roge"s was compelled to leave Tir Garm. She accordingly went to Mr Laurie, and asked what compensation wouU be allowed her. No satisfactory result ensued, and consequently Mrs Rogers agreed to a-sign her interest in the tenancy to Mr Meyrick for au annual rent of JE26. The plaintiff who appeared to have a strong per- sonal objection to defendant Meyrick, then gave notice to quit to Mrs Rogers. Both Mrs Rogers and Mr Meyrick deel n d to quit, thereupon this action was commenced. It was argued on the part cf the pi lintiff that the late ;ir Richard was tenant for life only, and ha.dJno power therefore to grant a lease for a greater term than Lis own life, and that the agreement signed by his father waS not binding upon I im. -Defendant's contention, was that the agreement had been ratified by the plaintiff by a notico sent by him requiring the tenants to continue to hold their farms on the same terms as th-retofore, and further, that the agreement hs-l been acted upon by him, he having allowed the fa. ill to be held rent free for over sii years. It was further contended that no notice to quit had been served upon defendant Meyrick.—" tfis lordship held that defendants were tenants at will onl", and gave judgment for the plaintiff, with costs.
