FLORENTINE HISTORY. UNIVERSITY LECTURES AT RHYL. The second course of lectures arranged to be d-)! i vered in connection with the Oxford University Extension Scheme was commenced on Monday, t ie subject beingFloientine History," and the lecturer the Rev. W. Hudson Shaw, M A., late Exhibitioner of Balliol College. To an ordinary reidcr the subject of this course will possibly not p msess the attraction which was attached to the first course of lectures, on English Social Re- formers. Still Florence has a charm for the student of history, and to live with consciousness in that city is to a cultivated man nothing else than the study of a free people in its very purest instincts as all that happened in Italy between 12;)0 and 1530 is colourless when placed side by s'dlj with the history of this one city the events, through the intricacies of which she wotked her way with vigorous determination, and the men wiiom she produced raised her fame above that of the whole of Italy, and placed Florence as a vonnger sister by the side of A tbeus" By his first lecture Mr Shaw gave ample proof that it is not difficult for him to create a deep interest in he history of such a city among those who have joit.ed the extension movement at Rhyl. There WHS a SR'^d attendance, especially of ladies and • school pupils. Air Hugh-Jones, local secretary, siid it was his pleasure to announce that the Bishop of Ss Asaph kid consented to be their president, and had ex- pte>sed great interest in the movement at Rhyl. (Applause.) His lordship, however, w <s unable to be present that evening, as he was at Cardiff, to be present that evening, as he was at Cardiff, -attending the Church Congress; but he had written to say thiiot he hoped to be able to attend some of the Ie tures. There were two points whi, h he (the speaker) wished to bring before the notice of the members. Most of the subscriptions for the year were still unpaid, but he hoped those who intended attending would get their tickets and pay before the next lecture. The next point was that he hoped they would have more students for this course than they had last year, the few- ness of students being their weak point in connec- tion with the last course. Financially they were as successful as they could desire. Reading circles in connection with the lectures had been proposed, and about which he would be glad to give the necessary information. He scarcely had need to say on his own and their behalf how glad they were to see Mr Shaw there again, and how fortu nate they were in securing his services for a second course of lectures. (Applause). The. ccturer, who was very cordially received then proceeded to speak of his subject. At the outset he referred to the reason which led the committee and himself to propose -nch a subject, and to explain why the claims of vast empires and mighty kingdoms were set aside for the study of the history of a small European city. He hoped they would not regret their attention beill di- verted for a time from their own country to a foreign people, for, as Rut-kin had said, such a course fonm-d au essential part of a wise and liberal education and they would be none the worse for paying more regard generally to the histories and acquainting thcmseiws with the education of other nationalities, as W" lived iu an island, and our ideas tended to insularity, we had many points to learn from oU" neighbours. In reply to a question that might be asked—Why choose the history of Florence—a mere town of the size of Bradford or Leeds? he would reply that the test of siz,, or mere number wa. a fal- lacious one. Greece, the mother of all European civilization, had a population less than Liverpool yet its sway over educated men was still in force. And although Florence had not a 100,000 people within its walls in the middle ages, it was better that they should be a'-qua ntpd with its history for the brief space of 300 years than that they should study the history of China, with its extensive territories and teeming millions for a period of from 1800 years before Christ to the present era As to the claims of Florence there could be no dispute: it could boast the best histoiy of all modern bistoiy. It was the history of culture and civilization. Whilst mighty countries re- mained in a state of feudalism, Florence and other little Italian commonwealths held aloft the standard of culture and progress Italy being the true centre of history in Europe, and Florence its true heart and centre. No place in the world, Athens excepted, had produced such a number of men in such a short space of time Her extra- ordinary wealth of great men included Dante, Giotto, Lorenm de Medici, Donatello, Savonarola, Machiavelli, Michael Angelo, Galileo, &c. For two centuries all the brain of Europe seemed to be concentrated in Florence and Tuscany. The lecturer then proceeded to deal in an interesting manner with details, and after the close of the lecture several views of the city were depictrd on canvas. The oxy-hvdrogen lantern was kindly lent by Mr Goronwy O. Jones, who with Mr Wil- liams, Magnet Buildings, manipulated the slides, which were explained by the lecturer, who afterwards conducted a class for students.

AN INTERESTING LETTER. T 1e following letter received by a correspondent, will b? of int«'est to many of oor readers this cesao, of the year, when so many are flitting here and thprp for chactja of air, and to reornit their health, someat the Welle, others at the different watering place, and others aa tourists flitting from place to placn to enjoy their holiday :-I- Dear Friund,—Here am I at last, released from my duly care and worry, at onr faroarits wbring plc3, where I arrived three days ago, and where I intend apendiDg my summer holi. days. I have been overworked, and felt the need o reat and a change of air. When I arrived here I acted nroa your suggestion, and went at once to consult Dr-, who is reputed the beet physician in this part of the country. I Yon have ovnrworkH yourself,' said he, many do so, some bodily, and others mentally.

I asked him to giv. me a prescription to obtain which be deemed would be most beneficial to me, when bo replied. "I know of nothing that will do you more good than a oourse of Gwilyna Evans' Qiinine Bitters." I smiled incredelously, when I heard him prascribe a Patent Medicine. He noted my surprise and observed, It seems strange, does it not, to hear a medical man advising people to take the preparations of other people. I am aware that many of these patent medicines do more harm than good, bat I bare no hesitation in recommending this. It is the beat tonic that I know of, and can injure no one It has been very beneficial to many who have taken » course of it with a change of air I paid him his nsnal consultation fee, and went direct to the chemist to obtaiu a bot'Ie of Qiisina Bittera, but he kipt norla in stock I thee wrote to tho Q linsne Bitters Co at Llanclly, for a 4J, 61. bottle and received it by return of post.

RHYL PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY, Sept, 30th. The adjourned annual licensing sessions and. petty sessions for general purposes were held ot Monday, the bench being occupied by Mr Llewelviu Lloyd, Mr S. Perks, and IlrlVynne. Jury List. Mr Arthur Rowlands, assistant overseer, pro. duced the list of persons liable to serve,on juries for the parish of Rhuddlan. There was no one pres- ent to claim exemption, and the list was passed. Victoria Inn. Mr G. A. Taverner applied for the transfer of the license for the above house to Mrs Emma Evaus, wife of the present tenant, who had been adjudged a bankrupt, not yet discharged. He (the applicant) had purchased the license from the trustee, who had parted with his interest in the house The Magistrates' Clerk said that in the absence of the trustee, it would not be advisable to take I any right he might claim out of his hand. But in the meantime temporary authority might be granted to the applicant if he wished to apply for I it. Mr Taverner adopted that course, and the license was temporarily transferred to him. An Extension of flours. Mr L1. Roe-Browoe, on behalf of Mrs Lowe, applied for an extension of hours for the West minster from 11 p m. on the 4th, until 3 a.m. on the 5th, being the occasion of holding a ball in aid of the Accident and Emergency Ward.—The ap- plication was granted. A Brutal Boy Donkey-di-irer, Inspector Robert Rigg, for the Society for the Preventing of Cruelty to Animals had sum moned a boy named Edward Jones, Vale Road, aged 13, for cruelly beatina and ilita-aling three asses, and defendant pleaded uilty. The officer stated that the defendant was a licensed doukey-driver On Fiidav, the 30th of august, the boy was driving three donkeys ridden by some children along 'Le East Parade. He had in his hand a whip, with the stock of which he was beating the animals violently about, the legs Witness watched him for a aisum-e, and noticed a donkey fail down from the weight of the blows inflicted. In Brighton Road and Church Street the defendant caught hold of one donkey's tail, and administered the butt end of the whip in a manner desc ibed, causing great pain. Upon examining the animals afterwards, witness found the leg covered with peals and bruises, and parts swollen. There was no reason whatever for thus illtreating the animals, for they were going at a good pace. The lad had been previously cautioned by witness. He had tried everything he could to put a st..p to the donkey lads' illtreatment of animals, other than by summoning them, but no caution appeared to be of any good. In reply to the bench, witness stated that defendant was a son of a man who owned five donkeys. Defendant's mother was in court, and was called forward. The Chairman said that tbp bench considered the case a very serious one. The defendant had behaved in a shame 111 manner. Beside beating the donkeys, his conduct otherwise had been brutal and blackguardly. He (the Chairman) knew of an animal which had died under sinii sr ill reat- nient- The bench were not q lite decided as to how they would deal with the case, and 't would be adjoumcd until the next court.- The mother was bound over in E2 to produce the defendant on that occasion. A Sequel to the. 7'it 7w JIub', Doings at Gwaum/scor. Ernest Albert Craft, auctioneer, Mold, sum- moned Robert Jones, farmer. Tyisa, Gwaunyseor, for an assault. Mr H. Goodman Roberts solicitor, Mold, appeared for complainant, and Mr Aluu Lloyd for defendan", who pleaded not guilty. Mr Roberts said that the assault complained of took place 011 the 16 h of September. His client wns engaged at Gwaunyscor distraining for tithes and when he arrived a: Hafod farm he found that the gate leading from the road into the yard was filled by persons sitting upon it. with the view of resisting his fin ther progress. It. was necessary <0 mention that the defendant was rot the tenant of the farm. and cons* quently he could not plead that he was smarting under any supposed gtiev- titice in the matter. And there was only one police officer in attendance, so that the presence of a force would not ar use any anger. Complainant deposed that he proceeded to Hafod, the tenant of which is Robert Williams, to distrain for tithes. He was accompanied by a police constable and the driver of a vehicle. Complainant attempted to enter the premises by going over a gate, that being the only way avail able. When half way up the gate defendant pulled him down from behind. There was a crowd of 20 or ;30 persons about. The police officer was a few yards off. Cross examined: Complainant was not hurt, and be dropped on his feet. lIe had been merely caught hold of around the waist by the coat. Could not say if a boy named Robert Williams was on the gate, but was almost certain he did not press with his full strength on the lad's arm. It was impossible for him to identify one boy out of 20 or 30. Did not do anything to him, nor did he remember the boy. P.c. James Adams, Newmarket, the constable mentioned, said he saw Robert Jones pull the complainant off the gate. There were a number of boys and young men on ths gate, but Mr Craft did not interfere with any of them except for the purpose of getting over the gate. Defen. dant was excited, but he shewed no violence furt.her than to pull Mr Craft down. There had been an altercation between them before Mr Lloyd, for the defence, said that persons en. gaged in carrying out the law, as presumably Mr Craft was doing, were entitled to be allowed to do their work without being molested by anybody and when an officer of the law was assaulted the law should be vindicated provided the interference was calculated to discredit the law or its officer. In this case, however, the character of assault, even if the facts as stated stood alone, would justify him in asking the bench to pooh-pooh the case out of court Complainant admitted that he had not been hurt in tl.e least, and he should have treated the alf ir with chaff and good humour. Then as to the reason for his client's interference. It was to relieve a lad on whose arm Mr Craft was leaning, and it was much to his credit that he had done so. Mr Lloyd having dwelt further on this point, called Z) Robert Williams, aged 13, who said that he was sitting on the gate and taking hold of the post. Mr Craft placed his body on the arm and was hurting witness. Cross-examined Witness was on the gate when complainant came up. When Mr Cratt touched him he (witness) did not cry out, nor did he ask defendant to pull complainant down. Did not tell his father or anybody that Mr Craft had hurt him. He, however, had asked him to move off. Witness wanted to stop Mr Craft getting over the gate, and had put his arm in position for that purpose. William Roberts, Shop, Gwaunyscor, said that Rt. Jones had pulled Mr Craft down gently. Cross-examined Witness sat on the gate, but did not hear the boy cry out nor say anything to Mr Craft, but the boy told him afterwards he had been hurt. Mr Roberts wanted to call rebutting evidence; but Mr Lloyd objected, and the Beach ruled .that it would be irregular. Mr Craft was recalled and further examined by the Bench and their Clerk. Complainant was not aware that he had pressed with his chest on anyone's arm. It was not likely, as he had tried to get over through a gap on the gate. It was difficult to say if he had hurt anybody, as the boy had not said anything to him. He had heard nothing about hurting until that day. The Bench and their Clerk consulted for some time, the latter saying openly, after remarking that the defendant had not been summoned for assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty, that to secure a conviction animusfurandi should have been shewn; pulling a man's coat might or might not be an assault. After further consultation the Chairman said that the case would be dismissed. There seemed to be a doubt as to whether there had been an assault of 'any extent. They thought however that the Gwaunyscor boys could select a more suitable time to sit on gates. Mr Lloyd applied for costs, but the Bench declined to grant any. The Penny Stamp Dodge. William Hughes, Vale Road, was charged by P.c. J. Arthur Jones with obtaining drink by falsely representing himself a traveller. Defendant pleaded guilty. The Police Constable stated that on Sunday the 22nd ult, about 9 o'clock, he saw defendant going in and coming out of the Mostyn Hotel. He asked the man what right had he to be in there, when he said he had gone to purchase a stamp. Witness inquired at the bar, and was told that defendant had been served with rum upon repre senting himself as having come from St. Asaph. Defendant afterwards admitted it. In court Hughes said he thought he was entitled to a drink, as he had come from St Asaph in the evening of that day. He had slept at St Asaph the previous night, and was working at Brynllith. rig. Mr Alun Lloyd I know he was there late on the previous evening, for I saw him there. The Chairman: He has pleaded guilty, and will be fined 2s (id, with costs of 12s 6d. Objection to the Renewal of a License. The renewal of the license for the Refreshment Room, Foryd, having been adjourned at the annual licensing meeting, upon police opposition, Inspec- 'l tor McLaren again appeared to oppose, and pro- duced a notice served on the landlord, Mr Naughton, who was represented by Mr Aluu L'oyd; Mr Diin-b- b:-ing' j.rsik-ftt to witch :he c. <ra b-aali of the ow&3rs of th* hoa»e. fu-'pec' n McLaren baid ihat the larcio bad b-ici* twice for ,,av,,) deal of trouble tie p >H« Ther. v-xi a cor.der-ble amount "u¡ro C; he Chairman But you have had only one cc -.vknicn P —Witness: It is such a hard job to get ac them, as they have people watching outside. Respect- 3.ble persons had complained of people going to Foryd to drink.—The Chairman: There are houses in town twice convicted, and you don't oppose their licenses how is it you object to this, which has been convicted only ooce ?—Owing to the Sunday drinking going on there. The land- lord has been cautioned several times during the past two years. Witness opposed at his own instance. By Mr Alun Lloyd There were two houses at Koryd, opposite each other. Witness knew that crowds of persons went down to Foryd, and pro- ceeded up the river to Rhuddlan, 10 get drink there, and then came back drunk. Asked how they i were not summoned, witness said that the police had been doing so during the past two years. Witness was asked to name who liud been so summoned, but the bench thought that it would be hardly fair to do so P.c Ivor Davies said that he bad often been sent to wutch the place and had observed drunken people about. On the *3th July, the occasion of the conviction, he noticed 13 persons entering, and three of them twi e over. P.c. Arthur Jones had seen drunken men hang ing about. On going in once he found drirtk on the counter, but no customers. There were half i dozen doors to the house, and when the police fn!eied by one the men went out by tlie others. Mr Lloyd was proceet-di"g to address -be coiir', when the Chairman said th,y would ,t trouble him. The license would he renewed. But should another case arUe. the conviction and the police objections would then prove f v'al to any fur!her renewal. They aiso thought that (it the next annual licensing meeting the court might require some of the means of exit to be closed. Mr Lloyd said that had it been necessary he was goiug to say that this p trtieular house seemed to be haunted and the police attracted to'it like a hive of lkes to lioii,-v. The court then adjourned.

TUB TITHE MOB NEAR RHYL. ATTEMPTED EARLY MORNING SEIZURE. The collection of tithe has been resisted so dp terrtiinedly by the inhabitants f Gwaenyscor that JLr Ernest A. Craft, the auctioneer who has under- taken the task of collecting the arrears, decided upon adopting a new method when next lie visited the little parish. Calling to his aid a couple of men, who are old campaigners at this class of work, and accompanied by several police officers, in ,hare of Webber, chief constable of Flintshire, e 1 ft Holywell on Saturday between four and live o'clock in the morning, and drove down to Gwaenyscor, where the party arrived be- tween six and seven o'clock. Although the ar- rangements were kept a profound secret, it was evident that the visit was not unexpected, for as soon as the party came within sight of the village tmmpets and horns were blown, and the whole population of the village turned out. The first attempt to distrain w^s made a Teilia, a farm occupied by Mr Robert Price. The crowd, antici- pating the road the party would take, pre eded thell), and when Air Craft arrived the men had swarmed on the gate Ie-ding to the homestead, and effectually .barred his entrance. Both he and his emergency men made repeated att mpts to scale the gate, but were hustled back, tins and trays wer■"> beaten by the crowd and the horn- blowing being continued. Oa one occasion some women, who were very excited, endeavoured to seize the auctioneer, with the avowed intention of stripping him, but the police prevented them car- rying out of their design. An effigy had been prepared, attired in a white robe, and wearing a black mask, and it was stuck in a position of prominence. After a consultation between Mr Craft and the Chief constable, the latter after- wards visited the vicarage, afterwards meeting some of the anti-tithe payers at the house of Mr Thomas Roberts. As a result of these consultations the distraining party withdrew, it being stated that an abatement. would propably be made w ich would satisfy the demands of the farmers. The party next proceeded to the adjoining village of New market to recover tithe due to the Rev G. H. Davies, vicar. On the premises of Mr Edward Jones, blacksmith, a stack of hay was seized. On visiting Graig, one of the hirgest farms in the parish, the tithe due was at ome paid by Mr Ellis, the tenant. In this village, which is only one mile distant from Gwaen/scor, no interest was taken in Mr Craft's proceedings, and no crowd assembled.

DIOCESE UF ST. ASAPH. PREFERMENTS. THE NEW RECTOR OF BALA.—A clergyman very well known in Rhyl, and who has at various times officiated here, the Rev. Dan. Edwards, Vicar of Nortbop, and previously of Cefn, St. Asaph, has consented, at the request of his Ordi- nary, to become Rector of Llanycil and Bala. It will be remembered that the rev. gentleman's re- moval to Northop took place not many months ago, upon the resignation of the Ven. Archdeacon Smart, its Vicar. This latter living is considered a desirable one to minister in, and Mr Edwards in responding to his Bishop's call incurs a con siderable monetary sacrifice by exchanging it for Bala The latter is a town in the parish of Llan- ycil, Merionethshire, which contains about 2,500 inhabitants. The present rector of Bala, the Rev. ttobert Jones, who succeeded the Rev. D. Evans, now of Abergele, in 1876, is about to remove to Llysfaen. The old mother church is situate at Llanycil, whilst there is another church at Bala, Christ Church, erected in 1855. In 1873, during the administration of the Rev. D. Evans, excellent National Schools, which had been erected at a cost of £1800, were opened in the town, and there is also a Grammar School there. Bala was for many years the shrine of Calvinistic Methodism, a denomination still strong in the place. Its training college for ministers is there situated, whilst the Independent connexion has a similar institution founded there. The new rector is a man of exceptional power and ability, and we trust that he may enjoy robust health to do good work in this important sphere. THE NEW VICAB OF CAEBFALLWCH. — Last week we recorded the presentation of several valu- able articles to the late vicar of this district (which is also known as that of Rhosesmor) the Rev. J. Howland Thomas, and to his family. This week we have the pleasure to announce that the vacant living has been filled by the appointment of the Rev. Clement Todd Davies, senior curate of Rhyl, whose promotion has given great delight to his numerous friends in Rhyl and [elsewhere. The rev. gentleman has acted as one of the.curates of this parish for the past eight years, and was pre- viously for a short period master cf the Bala Grammar School referred to above. Many of the Rhyl parishioners testified to their appreciation of his services, a couple of years ago, by presenting the rev. gentleman with a substantial testimonial on the occasion of his marriage. His new sphere of labour is an upland district cut out of the parish of Northop, the nett value of the living being nearly 2200. There is also a large vicarage house, erected by the late vicar, and a well-con- ducted National School. The parish is a bilingual one, the population being chiefly composed of the working class. There is a good church feeling pervading, and frequently the inhabitants attend their church in such numbers as to fill it, the accommodation being for 250, and the popu- lation of the district 830. It is somewhat singu- lar that its three vicars have been drawn from the parish of Rhyl; the first being the Rev. T. E. Jones (now of Llangeruiew), appointed in 1873; and the second, the Rev. J. Rowland Thomas, appointed seven years ago. Previous to its ac- ceptance by the Rev. Clement Davies, the living had been offered to several other clergy, who declined it, among them being the Rev. E. Owen, Efenechtyd, Rev. T. Prichard, Llanelidan, and the Rev. T. Lloyd, St. Asaph. The Rev. J. Jenkins, curate of Caerfallwch, has been promoted to the living of Hirnant, valued at A:250, and he is the first curate who has received promotion at the hand of the present Bishop.

Both Parcels prove to be absolutely pure, genuine anp sound also or rich composition in the various active principles and nutrients belonging to this beverage. Judging chemically, there does not seem to be any marked difference of composition in the two-samples, and in this respect thev com- pare particularly well with the choicest qualities of Tea that are offered.
