Herbert Roberts, M.P., who presided, said the next session would be one cf great- in- terest to Wales. They would be called upon by the Government to pass another Educa- tion Bill for the relief of so-called Voluntary Schools. Personally, -lie did not exult over the withdrawal of the old Bill as a party triumph, but rather because the whole in- cident had. been the means of opening the eyes of the Government and of educating public opinion as to the true position of the I potpulair Board School (cheers). As to the decision of the Government in respect to the principle of rate aid for Denomina- tional Schools, the .most significant fact in connection with it was its contravention of the resolutions in last.—Dr Easter- by proposed, wid the Rev Jonathan Jones seconded, a vote of thanks to Messrs S. Smith and J. H. (Lewis, the county and borough members, for their services to Flintshire and Wales in and out of Parliament. This wAs carried unanimously. Mr J. H.

A LARGE SHIP ASHORE INI AMLWCH…
A LARGE SHIP ASHORE IN I AMLWCH BA Y. I SPLEXDID TUGBOAT SERVICE. On Tuesday afteru.oon, the splendid lull- rigged ship "Brablock, of Glasgow (manag- ing owners, R. and Iv. Holme Ken, Glasgow),* went ashcre on the mainland just mside the East Mouse, about half a mile from Amlwch. The cause of her going on the rooks was due fca a. ifiribly thick fog that prevailed at the time. Her position was a, most dangerous one, for had the wind sprung up from the eastward, she would have become, a total loss. The place where she went ashore is in close proximity to where a. fine American liner went ashore and broke up. She was homeward bound from San Francisco, with a cargo of 3500 was of wheat. The news having been communicated to Mr William Williams, contractor, Holyhead, lie very promptly des- patched the powerful steam tug now being employed by him called the "Briton. The tug was under the command' cf Captain Fane* a most experienced officer, he having been I a most experienced officer, he having been I for many years in charge of the Tanrefail steamer "Hercules, trading 1 Kit ween Holy- I head) and Liverpool. Mr Robert Williams, I representing the. tug manager, was on board, and on reaching tlie plSce the vessel was scarcely discernible. But after a, coasultation, notwithstanding the girelat risk, and the dangerous position cf the vessel, it was de- cided to endeavour to get a, tow rope' on board. This was successfully accomplished about 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The large ship finally came away, gliding down the rocks without toppling over, which was feared, from, her 11 cleflle proximity to the ledge of a rock. The fog continued with hardly any abatement, and the tug "Briton" towed her very prompt- ly to Holyhead, reaching that pore at about 9.30' It is estimated that about £5()()(} has been saved by the tug to The under- writers, and the splendid and prompt, service of the "Briton" is highly praised. Xo tug from Tiverpoca, was obsene(Il in sight on the ship turning for Holyhead. It is understood1 that the "Brablock" has put into Holyhead for inspection, and that divers will bo sent down to ex-amine her condition,

THE L'LMUIYN DISPUTE. -
THE L'LMUIYN DISPUTE. There are so many wrong statements, and in some cases pure fabrications, circula.ted re- specting luUs unfortunate dispute that. the public should not aoBept- everything they sea or hear as gospel truth. The strike will, on Tuesday next. enter on its seventeenrii week, and this morning, the usually bright village of Bethesda- had a most forlorn and deserted appearance, hardly anyone about. a, nine o'clock, and net many more four hours later. Fully two-thirds of tlie men have left. to work, in other p.aces, leaving their women-folk behind to keep house. Firsi of all, Mr Young, the chief manager1 of the quarry, has, according to some reports, started for Canada, and, in fact, ought tw have arrived there several days ago. Mr T.oun.g, however, has not gone from Bangor. Another mis-suit em ent is that which showed that some Cumberland quarries had vacancies for eighty men from Penrhyn. The truth is that twenty-six have been engaged and have gone, net co return for at least, three months. A stoiy was circulated yesterday to effec,t that Lord Penrhyn loucnded inviting the men to take bargains air. the commence- ment of next week, and that those notice* would be posted or published this morning- They were no' outi up to the time of going to press; and the managers knew nothing, about them. neither did the men's committee. The latter, however, had heard the rumour, but they placed no credence in the story. It is said that, a. small "split" has been assiduously fomented by certain parties among the hitherto unbroken ranks cf labour, and that a few bsckboneless. ones would take bargains {in Tuesday next. if they could do so without anyone else looking on. The situation at Bethesda is virtually un- changed, and from what our correspondent could gather it will remain unchanged until his lordship has a change cf mind in. respect- to the right of free men to combine and to at)- point their cwiidelegates. The "Daily Chionicle" fund amounts to £882.. Mr Mimdella, speaking at Sheffield, ro Thursday, strongly denounced the oooducll of Lord Penrhyn. X othing has come of Ute. suggested sneafc d-eputalt/iofli. There will be a mass meeting of the men tomorrow afternoon. There is considerable friction in regard to benefits from the sick fundi.

i-Afr Herbert Gladstone, M.P., addressing the tenantry of the Hawa-rden estate at the annual rent. dinner on Wednesday evening, said lie took objection to the Agricultural ting Act for the reason that the money was not goning to those who were suiferind (lllost severely from agricultural distress; but, even if it put ten pounds into the pocket of every occupier, that in itself would not be of the smallest use in promoting the real abiding interest of agriculture. The state of agricul- ture was not. in his opinion, so bad as it was made out to be. and they had only to go abroad to find that the agriculturists of France, Germany, Russia, or India were a great d,3al more depressed than the British farmer, and that the scale of living amongsi the agricultural classes of this country was far higher than it was amongst the agricutural I classes on the Continent.
