RHYL. THE BOUNDARIES QUESTION. —A com- munication received from Mr Joseph Lloyd. St. Asaph, relative to this question, will be published in our next issue. "AN EVENING WITH THE POETS.Such was the title of a lecture given ou Wednesday evening at the English Wesleyan Schoolroom. Brighton-road, by G. S. Hazlehurst, Esq., J.P. —this being the sixth of a course ot free lee tures given at the same place during the pre- sent winter. The Rev. Thos. Rippon (pastor) occupied the chair, and there was a fair audi- ence. The proceedings having been opened with singing and prayer, the chairman, after a few preliminary remarks of a Dersonal nature, remarked that the lecture about to be given that evening was the sixth of a course which had been given during the winter, and all of which had been very well attended, and inter esting and profitable. The lecturer that even- ing they all knew was a gentleman who was always willing and ready to assist in every good work (hear, hear), and if he (the chairman) knew any gentleman who was more qualified than another to give them a faithful and ef- fective exposition of the works of their poets that gentleman was his friend Mr Hazlehurst (hear, hear), They had all, more or less—es- pecially in Wales—been brought under the spell and the magic power of poetry. Some- body had said—and he was well iustified in saying it—that he cared not who made the laws of a country, if only he had to make its ballads." There was, no doubt, a great deal of truth in that. The question whether the ancient poets were better than the poets of to- day—whether the poetry of uncivilized times was better .than the poetry of these civilized times-was a very disputed point. But speak- ing for himself, he could testify that a very wise piece of counsel which was given him at the time he was preparing for the ministry, was, If you wish to have that which will create originality of thought read Bacon's Es- says, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Tenny son's In Memoriam.' He had found out the wisdom of that advice. To read the works of the masters acted as an inspiration to the mind. Mr Gladstone was no doubt greatly influenced by his Homeric studies and Mr Bright had admitted that in the preparation of his great speeches he had received much help from Mil- ton. And though those who were present that evening may not figure so prominently as Glad stone or Bright, he hoped that what they would listen to that evening would help them to go away better men and women, and having beeninfluenced in some measure to lead nobler lives (hear, hear). He then called upon Mr Hazlehurst. -Mr Hazlehurst then proceeded to read selections-properly speak- ing he did not deliver a "lecture"—from the works of several of the poets. These included the following Virginia ( Macaulay); Faithless Nelly Gray (Tom Hood); a scene (the last) from Dante's Inferno a selection from Tasso s Jerusalem delivered a selec- tion from Schiller's "Robbers"; Ingoldsby s Jackdaw and the ring the "Battle of Ivry" (Macaulay) and Misadventures at Margate." All the selections were given by Mr Hazlehurst with great elocutionary power-a masterly control of voice, gesture, and expression and he was loudly applauded.- At intervals Miss Maggie Amos gave a beautiful rendering of a favourite song, and Miss Wilkinson played sel- ections on the pianoiorte. -After a hearty ex- pression of thanks to Mr Hazlehurst for his services, a very pleasant evening was brought to a close with the singing of the doxology, and the pronouncing of the benediction. SALE OF PROPERTY.—The house property offered by sale last week by Messrs Dew & Son, and consisting of No. 5 and 6, West Parade, and Devonia,' East Parade, which was withdrawn from public competition, has since been dis. posed of by W. R. Williams, Esq., solicitor for the vendor, to the Rev Lewis Ellis, C.M. min- ister, Rhuddlan, for £ 2,900. LONDON AND PROVINCIAL BANK. This Bank, established in 1865, to supply a great want in rising populous suburbs of London and the provinces, has made special progress, and may as properly be called The Welsh Bank." It has already established 22 branches and sub- branches in Wales, 25 suburban (London) banks, and 40 banks in England outside Lon- don), making a grand total of 87 banks Be- yond doubt the care and energy displayed by the directors during the 22 years the bank has been in operation is best gauged by public 0 opinion, which may be ascertained by the price of the shares (Sio each), on which only S5 has been paid up, are now quoted at L14 per share, and bear a dividend this year of 12t per cent. This is not surprising, as a reference to the bal- ance sheet last week shews that more than one half the deposits of the bank and the reserve fund is invested in first class securities. This is quite apart to actual cash in hand, freehold and leasehold property of the bank premises, &c. So far there are only two branches in this immediate district which have already received such support from depositors and customers that is most encouraging. That at Rhyl, es- tablished 10 years ago, supplied a great want in this rising town, which has doubled its popula tion during the past 20 years. For the past seven years Mr Chambers has been the manager at Rhyl, and Mr Ll. Evans at Ruthin. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. OWEN EDW ARDS.- -On Thursday evening, last week, the adult Bible Class met at the Christ Church Lecture Hall to bid farewell to Mr Owen Enwards. The teacher, Mr P. Mostyn Williams, presided. In a brief speech he explained that the object of the meeting was to present to their old friend and fellow-member a slight recognition of his long, varied and valuable services in connection with that place of worship- He had a purse to present, with something valuable in it, and an address which contained expressions of appre- ciation, of gratitude, and of good wishes. Be- fore making the presentation he called upon several of the older and youger members to de liver addresses, which they did in eloquent and feeling terms. Mr Edwards spoke most feel ingly of the tangible proof of friendsdip and goodwill which the testimonial conveyed to him. The address will speak for itself:— To MR. OWEN EDWARDS. Dear Sir and Brother,—On behalf of the Adult Bible Class of the English Congregational Church, at Water-street, Rhyl, we beg to offer you our best wishes on your departure from us to enter upon a new career at Newton-le-Willows. Your connection with this class has, at all times, been to us helpful and, we trust, mutually pleasant and beneficial. As a teacher, secretary, and superintendent of the Sunday School, your earnest efforts have been greatly appreciated. Several young men who are now with us, and others who have left us for other parts of the world, have repeatedly acknowledged their indebtedness to you for leading their youthful minds to a saving knowledge of the truth, and to a decision for Christ. Your devoted and 6ucceesful ser- vices as organist, and choir-master of this church, will be long remembered. The assistance, so readily and cheerfully given by you, to every good object in the town, was fully recognised at the recent farewell concert given to you at the Town Hall. We part with you amid expressions of regret on all sides, and we hope and pray that the change will be to you an increase of happi- ness, whilst to others it may prove an increase of usefulness in a oo ngenial sphere of labour. That to you, and your wife, and youthful family, as well as to your venerable mother. the Give- of all goodness may grant every good and perfect gift, is our united prayer.—Signed by the Teacher and Setretary of the Class, Superintendent of the Sunday School, Deacons and others, all members of the Bible Class. Rhyl. 9th February, 1888. GOOD TEMPLARY.—On Tuesday last at the weekly session of the Clwydian Lodge the officers for the present term were duly installed by the W-L D. ibro. Nuttall). Several mem bers applied for the second degree, and it was resolved to hold a degree meeting next Tuesday after the close of the usual session. Three new members were added to the lodge roll—one by initiation, another by card, and the third by restoration. Brother Wright, 66, Vale Road is thp. W. Secretary for this term, and Bro. C. W. Berrie the W.C T. Y.M.C.A. BIBLE CLASS -Last Sunday, the Rev W. Evans Foote delivered an address to the members of this class upon the Life of Joseph, and it is only to be regretted that there was not a larger attendance of young men on the occasion to which we refer. As will be seen from the syllabus below, the address was a valuable one, and proved interesting and in- structive. SyJlabus Joseph the sixth type of Christ; in what particular the preceding types tht dreamer the tale-bearer spo led child sold; in prison sufferings as related in the 105th Psalm interpreter enthroned His sterling character as a Servant; a son Brother; a Policeman a aint. On Sunday the Rev V Jones presides at 3-30, and the sub- ject will be The parable of the Tares." LIBERAL WORKING MEN'S CLUB —The works in connection with the new Liberal Working Men's Club Rooms are being pushed forward with commendable speed, and, unless the wea- ther interferes, there is every probability of the premises being finished within the specified time. The next important work after that will be the furnishing of the rooms and we are pleased to find that this matter is being taken up with spirit. Two of the most faithful mem- bers of the Club-Mr Charles and Mr Llewelyn I?n6oS u +aVe ix,aDJsomely offered to contribute £ 5 each towards the furnishing fund, on condi- tion that £ 100 will be raised. There is every prospect of this being done but the members must continue to do all they can in the way of subscribing themselves, and soliciting subscrip- tions from others. A prominent Liberal in tbe ounty has promised £ 10, and if only four or or five others could be induced to follo w his worthy example the £ 100 would soon bem hand Let all Liberals put their shoulder to the wheel," and what appears to be a difficult task in these depressed times will be accomplished. MR P. MOSTYN WILLIAMS AT THE BAXGÔR REFORM CLUB.-At a meeting of the members of the Bangor Reform Club the other evening, Mr Pedr Mostyn Williams, of Rhyl, gave an in- teresting history of "The Tithe War in Wales," being the able and comprehensive paper which he read at the Conference of the South Wales Liberal Federation, recently held at Cardiff. Mr Williams s remarks were greatly appreciated and loudly applauded. The president of the club (Mr J. Evan Roberts) occupied the chair. A vote of thanks to Mr Williams moved by the chairman, and seconded by Mr R Conwav Wil- hams. was enthusiastically carried. On the motion of Mr John Price, seconded by Mr W. Huw Rowland the following resolution was unanimously agreed to :—"That we rejoice that the farmers of different parts of Wales have made so firm and determined a stand against the unfair and harsh exaction of tithes in support of an alien church,and trust they will continue in their opposition until the tithes are devoted to unsectarian and national purposes On Thursday, the 16th inst., a meeting of the young men connected with the English Baptist Chapel, Sussex Street, was held in the Vestry, for the purpose of forming a Mutual Improvement Society." The Rev. W. Evans Foote was elected president, and other officers were appointed The session will be opened with a public lecture on the first of March next. A LADIES' CONCERT. A concert without ladies taking any prominent part in it. either as vocalists or instrumentalists, would most assuredly be a novelty in Rhyl but a concert, arranged entirely by ladies, and in which ladies only will take an active part—even to the occupying of the chair will be a greater novelty still. Such, however, will be held in ¡ the English Wesleyan Schoolroom, on Thurs- day evening next. We are requested to make known, nevertheless, that gentlemen will be admitted into the auditorium, on payment of the nominal charge of 6d. for first seats, and 3d. for the second. ST DAVID s DAY.-The first of March will soon be with us again, and with it comes the annual dinner at the Royal Hotel. We hope a large number of patriotic Welshmen—born and naturalized—will assemble this year to do honour to the memory of the patron saint. The chair will be occupied by Mr T Morgan Owen, H.M.I.S and the vice-chair by Com- missioner P. Mostyn Williams—both thorough Welshmen. ENGLISH PRESBYTERIAN ANNUAL TEA MEETING AND CONCERT -We announced in our issue of last week that this annual festival was to be held on the second day of March, and that the services of Miss Mary Owen' London (of the Chrystal Palace and Albert Hall Concerts), had been engaged. We have again to inform the public that Mr Humphrey Lloyd (tenor), of the Liverpool Cymric Vocal Union, Mr J. W. Jones, Liverpool. &c., have been secured for this concert, so that a rare treat is promised to lovers of good music. Several other friends well known to Rhyl audiences have kiudly consented to take part. Dr. Moore's Hair Restorer is acknowledged 17 to be the best preparation known for restoring hair that is turning grey and falling off One of the chief merits of this preparation is, that it is absolutely free from any disagreeable smell a great advantage which Dr. Moore's Restorer possesses over all other similar pre- parations. Sold in bottles at 4s. each by Hatwood the Hair-dresser, in Queen Street. PLEASANT EVENINGS "—The ninth of the current series of Pleasant Evenings was held in Christ Church Lecture Hall, on Mon- day, when there was a large attendance. The chair was occupied by Arthur Binns, Esq., who opened the proceedings with a neat speech. The following is a copy of the programme pro- ceeded with :—Opening hymn, The Audience bnf address by the Chairman song, Mary Lee," Miss Jennie Owen, Holywell song, "Jack's Yarn," .Mr T. J Jones Shakesperian reading, Wolsey and Cromwell, Mr P M Williams cornet solo, Mr J. D. Asher song, L Heaven and Earth." Miss Jennie Owen song, Somebody," Miss Jennie Owen cornet solo.

D Burford Hooke delivered his customary address, the subject this time being "Peeps in my Album," which was fully in keeping with his previous ones. All the performers acquitted themselves with marked ability, and the entertainment was throughout a most enjoyable one. A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman and performers brought the proceedings to a close. VALE OF CLWYD PLOUGHING MATCH — This match announced to be held at Denbigh, on the 17th inst., was postponed on account of the frost.

p.J¿A. V 7 — THE DEAN OF ST. ASAPH AND THE VICAR OF CWM. THE DEAN'S STATEMENTS EXAMINED. In the Times" a few days ago a letter was published from the Very Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph, nving a ''terrible story of a clergyman s sufferings during the present tithe agitation in Wales." The clergyman referred to was the Rev. T. Major Rees, Vicar of Cwm; and some of the statements contained in the letter were of so extraordinary a nature that it was copied into almost every newspaper throughout Eng- land and Wales Ttt j. The proprietors of a Welsh contempora y regarded the letter of so much importance that they sent a special commissioner to make inquiries into the truth of the statements it contained, and his report has been published. This gentleman visited Cwm on Saturday, the 11th instant. The following are his remarks on the Dean's statement. The Dean states that the Rev. T. Major Rees before be was appointed Vicar of Cwm, was in practical charge of a living,' and that ne left behind him a well-filled Church, a ro]11^of communicants numbering 120, and a ^"le class of 60 men." The Commissioner finds that previous to his appointment to Cwm Mr Rees was only a curate, and that his salary was but small as compared with what he receives as Vicar. The Dean states His removal from bouth to North Wales had, he explained, cost him £ 200." In reply to this statement the Com- missioner says that the Vicar of Cwm s house is but a comparatively small one and even if it was full of furniture (which it is not) the cost of removal would not be more than X25. The Vicar himself admitted to the Commis- sioner that what the Dean states was not liter- ally true. It cannot (says the Commissioner) be correct, except on the supposition that Mr Rees purchased X175 worth of new furniture on his coming to reside at Cwm. The Dean states that the tithepayers told the Vicar frankly that it ^as the intention of the titepayers to ask for a larger reduction every year until nothing was left" The Commis- sioner was assured by one of the farmers, Mr Edward Davies, Marian, that there was not a word of truth in this statement. Next the Commissioner deals with the most serious statement in the letter. The Dean stated-" For three months during his protrac- ted struggle with the farmers, the vicar and his family were so poor that they never had a pound of butchers meat in the house." W give the Commissioner's ownlword s in reply to this statement I made a full inquiry into this matter. A churchman (Mr John Williams, Blue Bell) declared to me that the Vicar had obtained butter regularly from him since he has been in Cwm and he declared also that he had seen the butcher s cart carrying meat to the vicarage almost weekly. Afterwards, in order to obtain more certain information,I went to see the butcher himself (who lives at Gadlys) and he assured me that he had sent six or seven pounds of fresh meat every week during the last six months to the vicarage-that he had not missed more than two or three times, and those times were not on consecutive weeks. I was also informed by Mrs Mary Anwyl that the Vicar had received several presents of geese and pheasants, &c. The neighbours assert that the statement about the Vicar's poverty can- not possibly be true. It is a fact that he has met with tribulations lately through losing his wife and two of his daughters, and that these effected his mind. In these troubles he de- manded the sympathy of every true Christian and so far as I could understand the parish did and does shew sympathy with him. The Dean s insinuation that the death of the children was attributable to the" poverty" the Vicar was thrown into in consequence of the refusal o ::he tithepayers to fpay seems to be a misrepresen- tation though not wiifully made I questioned the Vicar himself as to how much he received during the past year." What is the worth of the living now?" I asked It is worth £ 296," he answered, of which sum 250 are to be paid in rates "So you have received this year 2245," I again asked. Yes, he replied, only I have paid £6 to 8 for the cost of collecting the money." It will, therefore, be seen, according to the testimony of the Rev T. Major Rees, that he had received this year £246. The previous years he received the full amount less the 15 per cent, which he returned Whether a man who receives E4 to £ 5 per week can be suffering want of food, we leave it to our readers to judge. Then as to the objectionable note which was placed inside the box. The piece of paper shewn to the Commissioner by the Vicar was as follows Rev. Major Rees, Vicarage, Cwm. Sir,—I am very sorry to heard that you are hun- gary, and we send you a little provigions to keep yon alive until your brothers bring you the rest. Wishing you all happy new year- More to follow. The Commissioner has no hesitation in as- serting that this letter is a made thing" alto- gether. The handwriting is that of an educated person, and an attempt to write badly is clearly to be seen. The words more to follow are written in a way which prove that they have been penned by an accustomed hand.

meeting at Prestatyn, John Jones, Victoria Road, Rhyl. was "found guilty of committing a violent assault on Mr Robert Williams, baker, of this tOWlJ. and XI, and fined £1 2s costs or, in default of payment, 14 dayss' bard labour. Defendant was allowed time to pay, the Magistrates' Clerk remark- ing to the prosecutor That a the end of 14 days, if the money was not paid, and if he wished to have the defendant punished, he should then apply for a variant and pay for it." It appears that Mr Wil- liams did not like that interpretation of the law, and wrote to the Legal Adviser < f a daily newspaper. The following is the answer:—" Either our corres- pondent has incorrectly stated the facts or there has been an improper administration of the law. When the magistrates idlict a fine wltb the alternative of imprisonment it is the duty of the police to enforce the imprisoment if the fine is not paid. The allow- an« e of a brief time of grace in which to find the money does not in any way affect this obligation. I would not for a moment say that mere advise gratis "gratis lawyer in a penny paper is a better exponent of the laws of England than the pure, un- adulterated six-and-eitrhtpenny regulation lawyer. But there appears to be more cemmon-sense in the opinion of the newspaper man thin in that of Mr George in this case. It is scandalous that a man convicted of, to use the presiding magistrate's own words, "a violent assault should at the discretion of the magistrates be set at large, and no steps be taken to re-arrest him, on his failure to pay the amount of the fine in the prescribed time, without the prosecutor going to the expense of taking out a warrant.

Trevor, Sydney, and Griffith. jp'.i 'l Steward.: -Mes"rs. James Kerfoot, Osoar Finlay, Samuel Allen, John Kerfoot, James Jones, Jno. McCubbin, H. Hughes, and Edwin Mostyn. Flag S'ewnrd :—Mr. D. Edwards. Slip Stew "d: -Mr. Jno. Edwards. .Tudye:Afr. Bell. SUpper — Mr. R. Wright. This meeting, which in the olden times was the very best held in the Principality, and one of tli best in the kingdom, was revived on Friday, after an interval of twelve years. Unfortunately the stakes failed to fill, but the coursing was excellent in character; there was an enormous attendance, the country side for several miles around, sending large contingents of sportsmen. Hares were found in great quantity, and a series of fine trials were thoroughly enjoyed. The card proper was finished in such excellent time that a fresh stake was made on the ground, and this was also finished off before three o'clock. The Kinmel Park stakes was won in good style by Bassenthwaite, who hails from the Newton Kennel whilst Bonnie Edinborough, from the Local Kennel of MrD. M. Elder, fairly romped through the Abergcle Stakes, her most formidable rival being T R. Parry's "Rhyl," who gave an account of itself, worthy of the name it bore. lhe victory ot "Bonnie Edinburgh in this stake will no doubt compensate her popular owner for his unlucky disappointment at Southport early in the week. Mr Ball judged in his best style, whilst Wright slipped in a most workman-like fashion. Results: The KINMEL PARK STAKES for Ten All-ages at X3 10a each. Winner, £17 second, XS; third, X3. Dr. J. G.

Mr Trevor Lich- field, acted as president. Dinner being over, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk, and in addition to the toast of "Success to the Aber- gele Coursing Meeting," which was enthusiastic- ally received, the health of the officers was also drunk, as well as that of H. R. Hughes, Esq Kinmel, through whose kindness the sport was held. Mr J. D Jones, Bodoryn, fulfilled the functions of secretary in a most energetic manner, and it is chiefly due to his indefatigable efforts that the meeting turned out so successfully.

PROMOTED. Two men who were once warm friends, but who had not seen each other for nearly twenty years, met on a railroad train. After an exchange of greetings on« of them said You are looking fleshier than you did, Corporal," I beg your pardon, but it's 'General. "What?" j I beg your pardon, but it's 'General. "What?" j My friends call me General.' "Why, how's that; we used to call you 'Cor* poral ? "Yes, I was a Corporal when I came out of the army." That's what I thought. I don't see what you could have done since to raise your rank." Doii't, eh ? No, I don't. What was it ? I've moved father west four times." THE OTHER SIDE. Young man! he said as he followed him out Oil the steps last evening, "I want to have a talk with you. You have been sparking my daughter." "Yes, sir." "You think you love her." I know I do." And you would fain bear her off to some woodbine cottage ? That is what I would fainest, sir." Ah—um What's your salary ? "Seven dollars a week, sir." "Jess so-take her. I was afraid you couldn't sup- port us all on your wages, but it's all right. Hurry up things and get into the family in time to pay the next month's rent. You don't know what a relief it will be to us old folks to have some one to support us." A GOOD BUSINESS EYE. Two Chicago Friends.—"Tom, I bear that you are engaged to Miss Spidder." "Yes." But you do not intend to marry her? "Why not?" Is it possible that you have not heard? "Heard what? "That she has, at different times, sued five men for breaches of promise? Yes, I heard that." "And still you intend to marry her ? "Of course. She won all the suits, and as I am a lawyer I cannot help but admire her skill. She will make me an able partner, old boy, and business is so slow with me that I caifnot afford to let such an op- portunity slip through my fingers." AN UNEXPECTED SUGGESTION. "Say, Gladd.ersby," said Mr. Smith, as he came into the fish-store with a lot of tackle in his hand. I want you to give me some fish to take home with me. Kind o' fix 'em up so that they'll look as if they've been caught to-day, will you I Certainly, sir," said th9 grocer. How many ? "Oh, you'd better give me three or four bass. Make it look decent in quantity without appearing to exag- gerate, you know. "Yes, sir. But you'd better take wnitensh, hadn I, you?" Why ? What makes you think so>? "Oh, nothing, except that your wife was down here early this afternoon and said if you dropped in with a fish pole over your shoulder and a general woebegone look, to have you take whitefish if possible, a.s she liked that kind better than any other." Mr. Smith took whitefish. A CHICAGO MYSTERY. "That was a ourious case in Chicago in 1863, 11 mid a Detroit detective the other day as rominiseencom of I crime were being called up. "What was it?" Some remains were found in an ash-barrel in a vacant lot. There was a great chance for real de- tective work there, as there was not the slightest clue to start on." "The police began to inquire who was missing, of course ? "Oh, yes." And different parties came to see if they could identify the remains ?" Yes. I happened to be in Chicago at the time, and I went to see them myself. It was a sad sight." Was the body jammed into the barrel ? "Yes, crowded right in, and some ashes covered on top." "Male or female? "Male." Wasn't the barrel traoed to any depot or truck- man ?" No; it was traced first to a coloured man who re- moved garbage, and then to an aristocratic residence on the north side." Any arrests made? "No. The case was suddenly dropped as soon as the remains were identified by a rich lady." Ah-ha she bought' em off! "Oh, no. The detectives of Chicago were incor- ruptible at that time Money couldn't buy 'em." Then why did uhey drop the case? Because the -ady identified the remains." Here there." Nas a long period of silence, during which one col* ld have heard a hair fall to the ground. Then the dt" ectl ve sighed heavily and continued They were the remains of her pet dog HE THOUGHT SO. Tate had been on the car for fully ten minutes, when b,e suddenly beckoned to the conductor and inquired: Is this a steam line ? Not always," was the reply. The horses steam considerably in winter." ,», -'Ali !-ye,ah I I thought so—I thought so I" stammered the passenger as he settled back for another reverie.

He: "May I put this ring on your finger and call you mine?" She Oh, Willie, how sad I am; you are too late, I accepted another this morning. Still- if you like to have the ring altered to fit my little finf ir, I will shower on you all the the wealth of it siller's affection."

LECTURE AT TEE LIBERAL WORK- ING MEN'S CLUB. On Friday evening, the .10th inst., Mr W. M. J. Williams, of the Financial Reform Association, addressed a meeting at the Rhyl and District Wor ing-men's Club Room, Brighton Road, on e objects of the Financial Reform Association. Mr P. -Mostyn Williams was voted to the chair. There was a large attendance including Messrs W. J. K-ut, Jacob Jones, R. Ll. Jones, Robert Jones, G W. Parry, Trueman, R. Jol!ey, J. Morris, L Rickettx, Dauiei Evans, H. J. B. Lawrence, David Llnyd. D. Owen, Walter Jones, T. C. Amos, Abel Jones, Joseph Williams, &c.. After a few appropriate remarks from the Chair- Mr Williams proceeded to deliver his address, in the course of which he eferred to the objects of the association, which were three-fold namely, to ad- vocate economical government, just taxation and perfect freedom of trade. During the century five thousand millions of money had been r dsed toy the English Government, and of that huge sum 16s 3ld out of every sovereign was spent in war debts, or war preparations. Some millions were spent on our army an navy every year, and the sum was so large that they might expect our service to be a crack one, but they found so much laxity and extravagance that it was a wonder how any one was willing to bear it. It was said that the way in which the I army was officered was the laughing stock of mili- tary officers on the continent, and it was admitted on all hands that the German Army was as efficient if not more so, as the English A rmy, and yet there I were five officers in the English Army for every one in the German Army. tie considered Tiie system oi allowing officers to retire on half pay to make way for fresh ones, which explained to some extent the large cost of maintaining the British Army. He then proceeded to condemn the reckless manner in which things were conducted in the War Depart- ment. The sad episode in the Soudan was an example of the recklessness which characterised the administration of this department. Defective bayonets were sent out, and our soldiers were equip- ped with useless swords. So great a scandal did it cause, that the whole of Europe rang with heart- felt indisnation. And afterwards the bayonets and swords were tested with the result that a large per centage were totally unfit for use. The inquiry after all ended in a fizzle, as the War Department could not find one official responsible for such fla- grant and glaring negligence. The navy was not much better, and in spite of the enormous sum of money vtel annually for its maintenance, they fuund Lord Charles Bore-ford, who had recent- ly resigned from Her M jesty's Goverment, had delared it to be totally inefficient. A like extrava- gance characterised the Jivil Service. The speaker then went on to refel to the matter of pensions, instancing the cases of the Duke of Marlnor.iugh, the Duke of Grafton, and the Duke of Richmond, and traced the immoral retsons for which the ancestors of these noblemen had received their pensions, which ha i since been commuted. He also referred to the sum of LSOO which was paid yearly to the Duke of St. Albans as Master of the Hawks, and to the sum of L600 voted towards the mainten- ance of the hawks. The mystery about these hawk. was that no one seemed to know where they were kept, and it seemed that only Dukes and Earls could touch them (laughter) All these facts, he said, were sufficient to show need for a thorough reform in all departments. He then proceeded to enumer- ate some of the reforms made in the spending department of the State. He would not say that the Financial Reform Association was instrumentd iu effecting all these reforms, stiil they could lay claim to being responsible for a areat many of them. (Cheers). He tht-n went en to refer to the efforts of the society to obtain a perfect freedom of trade, and condemned the principle of indirect taxation which now existed in the country. Concluding he appeal- ed to all present to assist the society in its en- deavour to obtain a reform in the expenditure of the country (applause). After a few remarks from the Chairman. Mr W. J. Kent moved a vote of thanks to Mr Williams for his able and interssting address, and to Mr Mostyn Williams for his conduct in the chair. The motion was seconced by Mr Jacob Jones and unanimously cariied; and the procetdings weie brought to a close.
