TROUBLE IN IRELAND.I
TROUBLE IN IRELAND. What has long been looked for has come about. The Home Rule agitation has borne fruit, and that of the bitterest kind, and no wonder, for the policy of obstruction in Parlia- ment has been followed by the "No-Rent" agitation in Ireland itself. It may be well for our readers to understand how the matter ap- pears to an Irishman of the Home Rule order. He says Every one confesses that the condi- tion of things here is bad. We are governed by an English Parliament which does not un- derstand our wants, or at least does hardly anything to meet them. Our landlords are in many cases non-resident. The Queen has no home in Ireland as she has in Scotland. If our case is brought before Parliament it is voted down the best of our sons get disgus- ted with the conditions around them, and they emigrate, nor is it any wonder when only op- pression and starvation are to be met with in their own land. We are oppressed also by those who are aliens in race and religion, they do not understand us,and we hate them." Now there can be no doubt much can be said in defence of this by any impartial onlooker. While the policy of obstruction and No- Rent" are unquestionably wrong in principle, and ought to be denounced, yet what can a people do who have no other effective means of making their grievances come home to those whom they regard as oppressors. While we do not for one moment justify the action, we yet ask our readers not to judge too hastily without looking into the past history of English relations with Ireland. The last move of the Government has been the apprehension of three principal offenders. Men whose names were scarce known to the public before, will now be called Martyrs if they are punished, or be sent to Parliament if they are sent free. Opinion is very much divided as to the wis- dom of the step. Most people declare that if the Government considered it needful to arrest any oflFerders they should have sized such men as Mr PARNELL who are the real movers in the agitation. There may have been pro- found reasons for not doing so, for as all the world knows we have a profound Government; su profound indeed that few rational people can comprehend the wisdom of its movements, of this we are certain, the present arrests are not likely to mend matters. It is utter folly to expect ages of wrong to be cured by such a contemptible blister as that of the present arrest. Only one safe course is open to any Government. Let it deal with the actual grievances of the people. For our own part we do not think Ireland would be any the better for Home Rule. Probably it would be worse. At the same time while the people who suffer seek wrong remedies for the evils complained of it is the manifest duty of the Government to devise the right ones. It is a difficult problem. The Irish have bad good reason to consider the English as their oppressors. Romanism has a deep hold on the people. Agents of landlords are often cruel and overbearing, the feuds and grudges of centuries are now coming in for settlement, yet in spite of all this much may be done by a wise and powerful Govern- ment. For our own part we do not see why if Her Majesty goes to Scotland and to the Con- tinent she cannot visit Ireland. If she is afraid of her life then the sooner her counsellors set to work to conciliate Irishmen the better will it be for all concerned. Of this we are certain there is no race of people more suscept- ible to kindness than the Irish. And we again moit en phatically state that the only way to quell tlw present disturbances is to deal with the causesuf them. Can this be expecte.4 from the present Government. It announced a spirited foreign policy and what have been the results. The saint abroad and the devil at homo has never been considered a very good kind of man. Ho who spouts in public and neglects his children is a sorry fellow; but what can be said of a Government which has neglected home and has done incalculable evil abroad well might Mr GLADSTONE express pity for the successors of such a Government. Only one consolation we have their time is nearly ended, and not for this generation at least shall we be cursed with such a wrecked Uovernment.
MR. GLADSTONE IN SCOTLAND.
MR. GLADSTONE IN SCOTLAND. There is. an .old saying that everything re- turns to its source, auaif we mistake not EMERSON has an essay upon "Circles," in which be unfolds his ideas of the truth thus tersely stated. Scotch blood runs in Mr GLADSTONE'S veins and he has gone over the Borders. Every true Liberal will wish him success. His journey northward was like a royal pro- gress. At every station where the train stop- ped there was a deputation, ready with cheers of welcome, speeches of appreciation and even with rugs, and plaids, and tweeds. On arriving in the capital he became the guest of the ablest of the nobility, Lord ROSEBERRY, and during the week it has been a series of triumphs. Our readers are familiar with his speeches and we need not dwell on them. He has entered upon an arduous task. Mid- lothian is regarded a Tory stronghold in Liberal Scotland, and if it is stormed Toryism will get a terrible blow. The difficulties of the case are now enhanced by the manufac- ture of faggot votes, which Mr GLADSTONE so well named phantom votes, which means that a landlord who has say a dozen houses will enter six of them in the name of some man, who will vote as he wishes. It is in fact a deliberate attempt to smother the real voice of the constituency. It is quite possible such tricks may win the day. Success has attended them at other times. But we believe they will fail utterly as even those who resort to them must know they ought to fail. It is a fine sight to see the o'd man eloquent repeating in Scotland the national triumph of his campaign in Lancashire. Only a stern sense of duty could prompt him to such a course. We have come to real historical crisis. The question now before the electors is one which goes down to the very foundation of our constitution. It is that of a limited monarchy versus Imperialism. The tormer is what has broadened slowly down from precedent to precedent and means liberty the latter is the creature and exponent of personal vanity and means tyranny. Every day enhances the gravity of the situation for every day reveals new evils form the deadly tree of Imperialism. We cannot sufficiently express our thankful- ness to Mr GLADSTONE for so gallantly coming forward in the hour of the nation's danger. His speeches contain ample material for speakers of less power, his bravery will be contagious, and when he has lead on the Liberals to what will prove a splendid triumph, he will go down to posterity as one of the greatest benefactors of the nation.
NOTES BY " THE MAN ABOUT TOWN."I…
NOTES BY THE MAN ABOUT TOWN." What rumours! Some folks say I am dead others that I am firightened at innumerable law suits by those whose existence have been rendered uncomfortable since my first appea- rance and the last nice bit was that I had got disgusted with journalism through the silly and weak attempt of a local Tory paper to make out a relationship between Town Talk and myself. To the public generally it may be news to tell them that I am still alive, and that I intend to continue the Notes which have given certain individuals so much trouble, beside helping the exchequer of my legal friends. The Conversazione is the topic of gossip in every household. How everybody looked and how everybody behaved was not the lease in- teresting part of the proceedings to the fair portion of the audience. The gathering on the whole was a decided success. The exhibition of old pottery and china was really fine, and I dont suppose there has been such a collection in one building in the county for many years. The pictures were of a high class, and there were rare specimens of miniature oil-pointings and mezzo-tinls which were greatly admired, The curiosities from India, China, and other distant parts of the globe were most interesting and instructive. Old prints, scarce copies of ancient books, &c., came in for a full share of in- spection and appreciation. In the arrangement of the articles and the hangingand placing of the pictures the committee bad a very difficult task; but on the whole I am glad to learn they suc- ceeded in giving such general satisfaction. The secretaries, Mi Lloyd Williams and Mr Norbury, had very arduous duties to perform, and though they received no public thank you," all felt grateful for the time they devoted to the work. The affable and kind-hearted chairman (Mr Perks) made all indebted to him. The refresh- ments, which were paid for by him, were really first-rate. The injunction from the Chairman to the gentlemen to see that all the ladies were served first was an effectual probibition to many a modest young man getting near the table, the ladies did so preponderate in numbers. During the speech-making, as the chairman called, the platform was a study. With the ex- ception of my friend Morgan Owen and a couple of neutrals, all the occupants were Liberals, and mostly Nonconformists. The classes I under- stand were originally the suggestion of that hard-working minister, the Rev. Duncan Mac- giegor. This gentleman has laboured incessan- tly, and the success of the classes must be to him a source of pleasure. Last winter I drew attention to the Bathing Vans being allowed to remain on the beach during the Winter months. They obstruct the view from the lower windows of the West Parade houses. I hardly think they add to the beauty and attractiveness of the parade. These long and cold nights many young people go there who would be far better at home. I hope the Commissioners will consider the desirability of it in the matter. By the by I thought the Band bad opened the Band stand be moved off the promenade. It is now at the East end. B. W. Vy-ynne, Esq., jumped out of the frying pan into the fire quite last Saturday. His in- sulting remarks concerning Nonconformists should not be allowed to pass unchallenged. He ought to prove his charge that they often neglect the poor, or withdraw it. If he knew anything about Nonconformity he would know that they largely support their own poor, and seldom allow a deceased member to be buried at the expense of the parish. Your reply to this gentleman's utterances and epistle, will, I I hope make him a little more careful in future when he essays to expatiate upon the doings of Voluntary ists. I understand that Mr Taylor has given notice that he be relieved from further service on the Sewerage Committee, and that Mr. Reynolds be appointed in his stead. It is understood that my little friend has seriously considered the resolu- tion and that he will second it. To an ordinary mortal the sight of him rising in his place will be refreshing. Though times are dull, money tight, and bankruptcy staring so many in the face, some people could afford to bring two gentlemen wearing white wigs to talk for two d^ys. The sight-seers and scandle-mongers seemed to be delighted at one's downfall. Had the day not been so cold I verily believe the hall would have been crowded. I had intended some weeks ago saying some- thing about the Life,boat again. I now find that the present condition and management has s militased against the subscription list, that there is very little subscribed in our town towards this excellent institution. Without money its usefulness will be seriously- crippled. I must again say that the boat and the boat house is altogether m the wrong place, and this is the prevailing opinion of most of tho inhabitants. i I was told by an Old Salt that if it was placed near the pier it would be far more useful. Five minutes after the signal gun is fired there are generally sufficient volunteers on the beach who would lend a hand to launch the boat. Why not give this suggestion a trial ? Almost any- thing would be an improvement on the present state of things. I do not write in any captious spirit, for from the bottom of my heart,I wish the institution every success, and I am sure I earn- estly desire to see our boat at Rhyl earn a fame for being ready and prompt for action. The Rev. Mr Nicholas made some strong allu- sions to it at a recent banquet, and public opinion on a matter like this should not alto- gether be ignored.
SAD CASE OF DROWNING AT RHYL.
SAD CASE OF DROWNING AT RHYL. On Monday morning last our town was thrown into a state of excitement through the news that a dead body had been found in the river. From the evidence it appears that the deceased's name is John Manning, a person who bad lately come from Staffordshire to reside in Rhyl, having taken the house and shop lately occapiedby Mrs Struthers. Deceased(who was at one time in the service of the Earl of Coventry) was of late subject to fainting fits and heart disease, and it was said that he had of late been in a desponding mood. However, it appears that he left his house at 7.20 on Monday morning saying he was going for a walk and in an hour afterwards his body was found floating in the river, by Robert Bethell. Deceased leaves a widow and several children and much sympathy is felt for her in the trying circumstances. The inquest was held on 1 uesday last,at the Manches- terArms, Voryd,before W. Davies, Esq., Coroner for the County, and the following jury :— Mr John Keyzar, Voryd, (foreman); Mr John Roberts, Sun Inn, Wellington-road; Mr W. J. Smith, Birmingham Hotel; Mr William Owen, 166, Wellington-road; Mr Harpur, H. C. Spinks, Wynnstay Hotel; Mr Edward A. Jones, Sussex-street; Mr Henry Thompson, Queen's Court; Mr Edward Owens, 8. Water- street; Mr Edward Jones, 69, Wellington-road Mr Edwin Sandford, George Hotel; Mr Edward Jones,84, Wellington-road; Mr Joseph Fielding, Voryd Mr James Lodge, Dinorben Arms and Mr Robert Chadwick. After the jury had been to view the body the following evidence was taken:— William Daniels, grocer, Abbey-street, was the first witness called. He said—I do not know John Manning, but the first time I saw the deceased was at the sale at No. 1, Clwyd- street. From what I heard at the sale I understood he was the in-coming tenant of the house. I never spoke to the deceased myself. About 40 minutes past 7 on Monday morning the 24th inst., deceased passed me. I met him about 250 yards from the biidge. He looked like a man in deep thought as he passed me I did not speak to him. By the Foreman Was he walking hurridly ? Witness No; walking moderately. Robert Bethell, boatman, &c., said I live at No. 4, Wellington terrace, Wellington-road. I was discharging a flat loaded with timber. I do not remember the name of the flat. But now I am certain it was The Blake." While I was discharging the vessel my attention was called to something floating down the river towards the sea. I went and took the body. The Coroner-But did you not take something to get it out of the water. Witness: Yes, I jumped into my boat with my brother Ben, and we launched her. The Coroner—Do you understand you are on your oath. Witness Yes, I know I am; no man can deny it. I had my attention first called to the body by Tom Owen on board the" William" who took hold of a boat hook and tried to get hold of him, and I called out Don't damage ic in any way." Tom Owen then did nothing more. I then laid hold of him, and I thought it was Edward Roberts, solicitor (laughter). The Coroner—I cannot do with this gentle- man it is a serious matter. Wo are met here to consider a very important question. Witness continuing 1. and my brother Ben, were in the boat, and held the body up and brought it to the shore. I then went to Inspector McLaren. By the Coroner -Whatlstate was the body in. Witness There was foam at the mouth, but it was quite cold. The body which I have viewed is the same person I took from the water. By Mr Sandford How long do you think the body had been in the water ? Witness I believe it had been only in the water that morning. By Mr John Roberts: Was the body warm or steaming in any way ? Witness It was quite cold. By Mr William Owen What side did you find the body ? Witness It was the side nearest to Denbigh- shire. Mary Ann Manning said-I am widow of the deceased (John Manning). I have seen the body, and identify it as my husband. I think his age is about 66. I saw him last alive about 7.20 on Monday morning, the time he left the house. He said he was going for a walk. He had some fits of late, and he told me not to be surprised if I found him dead by my side in bed. He was happy at home always, and there was nothing in circumstances that should have caused him to do what be did. I can give no other reason for his drowning but that he must have slipped into the water, and not have been able to get out again. By the Foreman Was he subject to these fits? Witness They have commenced within the last five or six weeks. By Mr Sandford—When did he complain of these pains !J Witness Before he came to Rhyl. By Mr Lodge Did be regret in any way in taking the business ? Witness No, he seemed to like coming to Rhyl, and I was pleased to come also. By the Coroner How long have you been in Rhyl ? Witness About five weeks. The Coroner then summed up, and remarked that it was for the jury he decide as to the verdict; but at th* same time power was given to him to suggest a verdict, and he would recommend an open one. 'rhr room was cleared, and after a few minutes, the Foreman returned into court, and said that the jury had come to the conclusion that the verdict should be Found drowned," but by what cause it was unknown. The Coroner thanked the jury for their attendance.
RHYL PETTY SESSIONS.
RHYL PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY, Nov. 24.-Before T. G. Dixon, Esq., (chairman), Major Rowley Conwy, Rev, Dr. Butterton, and W. P. Jones, Esq. DISORDERLY AND REFUSING TO QUIT. Matheiv Crummy was summoned by Inspector McLaren with the above offence. His wife attended and said her husband had gone that morning to his vessel, having been out of employment for some time. Their worships said he should have been there and now they would have to issue a warrant for his apprehension. TRAVELLING WITHOUT A TICKET. Inspector Tinsley charged Price Jones, plas- terer, Vale road,with this offence. The Inspector said that on the 1st of November defendant was seen to jump out of the 8.10 train from Den- bigh, and to go through the yard of Messrs Charles Jones and Son. When asked for his ticket, he said he bad none. The Bench inflicted a penalty of 15s aud 9s od costs, hoping it would be a lesson to him not to do such a thing again. < DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. P.C. John Davies (who gave his evidence for the first time in a creditable manner) charged Thomas Anderton with the above offence on the 22nd of November. The officer said that about 11 o'clock he was in the neighbourhood of the Victoria Inn, and heard a great noise there. He went and found the defendant with several woman, creating a disturbance. Defendant replied that he was not drunk, as he had only a sup." The bench thought he was, and had too much sup," and fined him 5s and 5s lOd costs, 14 or days. Sent to gaol. VAGRANCY. Dents Martin, tramp, was charged by P.C George Thomas with begging at Rhyl on the 22nd of November.

NORTHOP. 1 A ROMANTIC CASE.—THE SEQUEL TO A DOCTOR'S ELOPBMENT. At the Petty' Sessions on Thursday, before the Rev. Walter Evans (in the chair), J. Henry, Esq., and Thos, Bates, Esq.—Dr. Evans, of Mold, was brought up under the Vagrancy Act, charged with having left his wife and child uestitnte, both of whom in con- sequence became chargeable to the Common Fund of the Holywell Union. The giving of relief to Mrs Evans and her daughter having been proved, the de- fendant, who was undefended, stated in reply to a question put to him from the bench, that he had no- thing to say. He felt keenly his position, and that his books were in possession of his wife, and that many accounts were due to him. The bench addreesing the defendant stated that however painful it was, they had their duty to perform, and the defendant was committed to Chester Castle for one month with hard f labour. We have headed this case as a romantic one, and a few particulars of the romance may not be un- interesting to our readers. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had resided in Mold for some years, and apparently lived most happily. About 3 years ago, they formed the acquaintance of a person, a Miss Price, we believe, who became a regular visitor, and every kindness was » shewn to her by Mrs. Evans, who treated her with a motherly tenderness. Mrs. Evans left home on a visit to her friends in South Wales, and Miss Price became housekeeper pro. tern. On Mrs Evans' return a change in the domestic affairs was apparent, and, to make the matter short, the doctor and Miss Price, took flight together. It was discovered that they had flown to London, where "migratory birds of this character often fly to. The local authorities being apprised of the circumstance, the police were brought into requisition. The doctor had paid a deposit of the passage money to New Zealand of him- self and Miss Price, and when in the act of paying over the balance he was quietly reminded by Inspect- or Minohull, of the Flintshire Constabulary, that he was wanted at Mold. To Mold the erring doctor was brought, and from thence to Chester Castle So, for the present, ends this strange eventful history. Flintshire Observer.

Ouit CLKBOYMAX i-Ni) HIS C'ONOKKGATIOX.—Last Sunday afternoon, a most singular incident took place at Llanrliydd Church, situate about one mile from Ruthin. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, a congregation assembled in the little church in expectation of hearing from the divine lips of the Rev. B. Owen Jones, Rector of Ruthin and also of Llanrhydd, a funeral sermon after the death of Mr Roger Jones, late of Cae groes, who was buried in Llanrhydd last week. However when the time cam for our Pastor to ascend the steps of the pulpit, he walked down the aisle with the coolness of an icicle, took off his surplice and left the church. The congregation for a time were bewildered. This ifi not the first time the rev. gentleman has refused to preach to a congregation of about two dozen. SCHOOL BOARD OFFICIALS AT WOV.At the Petty Sessions last Monday, a number of poor people whc appeared to be in great poverty, were threatened that unless they complied with the rules and regulalf tious of the Board, there was no other alternative for them, but Gaol or the Workhouse." CHARITY GAINS PoruxAKiTY.—The Alleyne Family, probably well known in Rhyl, for the past two months have been iu Ruthiu, and the other evening gave an entertainment at the Town Hall, but previous to the occasion they called at the Union, and invited the inmates to attend at their entertain- ment; of course immediately Mr Williams, the master, expressed his gratitude. "But said the artful vocalisto for the trifling sum of 10s." Our worthy townsman, r not much worse after laughing at once bid farewell ] to his unusual visitors.
