MR. PARNELL'S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COMMISSION. Mr Parnell. and his colleagues have with- drawn their counsel from the Commission Court at a time when it will hardly produce the dramatic effect upon public opinion here which it is intended to produce. So far as Ireland is concerned, we have no doubt that whenever they had withdrawn their counsel— from the opening of the Commisiion to its close-the majority in Ireland would have given them all their sympathy and support. Nobody doubts that, for the present, at least, the Pamellites can elicit what tones they please from the Irish people, whether of indig- nation, pity, or enthusiasm. But it is not for the sake of the Irish people that the Parnel- lites have been so long employing counsel to place their case effectively before the people of the United Kingdom. It is for the sake of the people of Great Britain and we feel very confident that so far as the people of Great Britain are concerned this last move will not be an effective one, but will fall quite dead. We think that the almost universal view will be that if the National League leaders had wished to make their move effective, they should have chosen some earlier occasion for it. before they had practically reaped all the advantage of Sir Charles Russell's and Mr Asquith's and Mr Reid's skill. Human nature generally has a disposition to complain if it cannot secure the double advantage of eating its cake and yet keeping it for future consumption. And the Irish leaders have not shown themselves at all more superior to that very widespread weakness of human nature than the weakest of their fellow-creatures. Having eaten the cake of Sir Charles Russell's skiTI and eloquence, and that of his eminent -collea-"s, they now wish to reap all the advantage of having refused it, and so they find an opportunity for declining, with a flourish of trumpets, to eat any more of it when there is hardly a crumb of it lt-ft. That will hardly do. It will be, we think, a coup manque. The Parnellite leaders are not with- out skill in melodrama, as Mr O'Brien has repeatedly shown us. But this last stroke of melodrama, though Mr Healy has done his best to tell us what it means in his most characteristic language, will not bring down even occupants of the political gallery, on of the Channel.—Sjxcctator.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE I OPPOSITION. That the Government are growing stronger, and the Opposition, on the whole, weaker, cannot, we think, be questioned. But though that is satisfactory ns far as it goes, it is any- thing but satisfactory to notice the increasing tendency of the Opposition to ally itself in so many directions with local cries, cries that tend distinctly to encourage a grudging and sullen attitude towards the Central Govern- ment. Of course, this a natural consequence of the adoption of Home Rule as Mr Glad- stone's chief policy. The necessary result is party to give as much support as they can to the various agitations from the strength of which they expect to draw their most hearty electoral assistance. Mr Glad- stone proclaimed at St. Austell that he intended to ally himself with the movement for the immediate Disestablishment of the Church in Scotland and Wales and Sir William Har- court has been doing all he can to render even the existing law of tithes unworkable in Wales, by resisting the atteriipt of the Government to put the collection of tithes on a more solid and reasonable footing. It is 0 .this tendency of the leaders of Opposition to countenance any sort of resistance to Govern- ment which represents a feeling of local C) discontent a tendency, of course, quite germane to the Home Rule cry—which makes us doubly anxious for the prospects of the present Opposition party iu the next few years. It appears to us only too evident that the tendency to encourage sectional views which has come of the Home Rule movement, is crushing the Opposition into a confederacy of local fragments without common principles or common ends. That may make the Government all the stronger for the time, but it will not promote the welfare of the country at large. Without coherent convictions amongst the party which calls itself the party of progress, we shall have that most dangerous state of things, accidental co operation for inconsistent ends, ends which mean one thing in one country and another thing in another country, which mean one thing in Ireland, another thing in Scotland, a third in Wales, and a fourth in London, and a chaos of different ends whenever these various groups are called upon to form a single Government, and inspire it with some general scheme of policy. Home Rule has had a disastrous effect, not merely on local movements, but in making the Opposition, which ten years ago had a mind of its own, a mere association of incoherent and heterogeneous elements.— Spectator.

THE GOLD COINAGE. Mr Goschcn has introduced a bill for the purpose of the redemption of light gold coins. el 45 The proposed Act with deal with sovereigns and half-sovereigns "coined before the reign of her present Majesty," and the state will be at the loss occasioned by the reduction of weight in gold pieces caused by fair wear and tear. If coins have been illegally dealt wit'i, their owners will be the losers, through deface- ment or by undue dimkiution of the specific gravity. The act states in the schedule to which -it makes reference, the loss of weight, which is to be evidence of coin being tampered with, to be for a sovereign coined before the beginning of the reign of Victoria, four grains, and for a half-sovereign coined antecedent to the same date, three grains. The bill will not cause a heavy charge on the resources of the Treasury, for it is estimated that not more than LI,500,000 worth of golden pieces issued from the mint before Her Majesty came to the throne, are in circulation.

A CATECHISM FOR EVERYONE. WHAT ALL SAY MUST BE TRUE. What is Owilym Evans' Quinine Bitters? A noted vegetable remedy, prepared in the most skilful ar.d scientific manner, and containing the active principles of those plants which are generally acknowledged to be the best remedial agpnts, and to possess the most healing and curative properties, viz., sarsaparilla, gentian, burdock, dandelion, lavender, and saffron. What it its actions? It assists and promotes digestion, strengthens the nerves and muscles, cleanses and purifies the blood, enlivens the spirits, and removes all obstructions and imparities in the human body. It gives a tone to the whole system. It strengthens and fortifies those parts which have been weakened by disease, and are consequently more liable to colds and unhealthful innuence". On account of its noted medicinal virtues it has gained the highest recommendations as the Best Family Medicine, and a remedy for every kind of weakness and general debility. Is it recommended for these disorders by trustworthy persons? Yes. Mr. Gwilym Evans has received hundreds of testimonials attesting the virtues of his renowned Qlliuine Bitters from doctors, analysts, chemists, captains of vessels, clergymen, ministers, public singers and speakers, tradesmen, and others in all classes of society, who have them selves proved its bcneficial effects, and have been benefitted by it in various diseases and ailments. Is it adapted to children's ailments as well as adults? Yes. It is so purely vegetable and free from injurious substances that even the weakest infants, the feeblest females, and most helpless invalids may use it with safety, and the working-man need not abstain from his labour whilst using this wondrous curative mixture. How can it be procured with the certainty that wc obtain the genuine preparation? 1.—Ask in any chemist's shop for GWILYM EVANS'S QUININE BITTERS, and see that the name Gwilym Evans is on the stamp label, and bottle. 2.—As the smallest sized bottles of this preparation are sold for 2s. 9d., if a t-maller quantity, say sixpenny worth is offered you, you may feel confident it is a fraud, and that you are being imposed upon. 3. Do not be persuaded to take any other preparation, such as Extract of Quinine, Quinine Wine, or any other kind of bitters, under the excuse that it is quite as beneficial as the QUININE BITTERS, and much cheaper. This a purely false and misleading statement. Remember that cnly things which possess special merits to recommend them to public favour are deemed worthy of imitation, and the excellence and widespread fame of Owilym Evans's Quinine Bitters have given rise to a host of worthless imitations, called by similar names, but not possessing the unfailing virtues of this excellent remedy. GWILYM EVANS'S QUININE BITTERS. 4.—It is also sold in larger sized bottles at 4s. OJ., and should any difficulty be experienced in obtaining it, a bottle of either m«e will be sent carriage life by parcel post on receipt of postal order for the moant, direct from the proprietors, QUININE BITTERS MANUFACTURING CO..

The Shah visited Edinburgh on Tuesday, and, in reply to an address of welcome, said that he regretted be eould not prolong hie stay in Seot- land. The Banffshire Journal says .—We are authorised to state that Lord Fife has taken the title of Duke of Fife. The Queen offered his lordship the choice of any title he liked to adopt, including the semi- Royal one of Inverness; but Lord Fife has pre- ferred to keep the name by which he has hitherto been known. We believe that his full title will be Duke of Fife, Marquess of Macduff. The Princess of Wales has (the World says) shown very laudable impartiality in the choice of Princess Louise's trousseau. Everyone is having something to make, while England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are supplying materials of their own manufactures for the corbeille. It is said that the trousseau will not be very large or costly. The bridesmaids are to wear pink, which is not a very becoming colour for any of the eight young Princess, except Princess Victoria of Teck. Hewell Grange the bouse occupied by the Shah when the guest of Lord Windsor a few days since, has (points out the World) now been completely destroyed by dynamite. The fine new- mansion built close to it. was ready for use, but Lord Windsor deferred removing to it till after the departure of the Royal Guest. The Shah, to whom the matter was mentioned, insists on regard- ing the proceeding in the light of a purely personal compliment to himself, and never tires of praising the courtesy of Lord Windsor, who he says, pre- ferred to level his abode to the ground rather than see it occupied by inferior visitors after it had been honoured by his Imperial presence. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.Rudden transitions from heat to cold, or from raw inclement weather to oppressive climates, favour the development of manifold diseases, which may in most instances be checked and rendered aborative by an early resort to these purifying, regulating, and strengthening Pills. This well-knowm and highly esteemed medicine affords a safe and easy remedy for almost every constitutional wrong which unhealthy climates, rapid changes, or dietetic errors, can engender, and effectually removes any weakness self-indulgent habits may have induced. In all conditions of the system borderinar on disease such as are indicated by apathy, listlessness, and rest- lessness, H.olloway's. Pills will prove especially servicea-ble in begetting the vivacity of mind and body appreciated by both sound and sick. The Bishop of St. Asaph has appointed the Rev. Canon Richardson, rector of Corwen, to the Archdeaconry of St. Asaph, with canonry in the Cathedral annexed thereto, in succession to the late Archdeacon Smart. The preferment is worth 550 a year, with house. !1.L'. :■> 'f. 1.
