TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have been compelled to hold over the Her Majesty's School Inspector''s report of the schools in Denbighshire and Flintshire until next week.

MR. BAXTER AT ARBROATH. The oratorical fervour—we had almost called it ferocity—which springs from chagrin and aims at office was well exemplified in Mr. BAXTER'S late harangue to his open-mouthed constituents at Arbroath. Like the testy prophet of Ninevah, 1:L,. BAXTER did well," in his own opinion, to be angry," and based his political disnlea- sure upon grounds as unworthy and as petty as those which roused the prophet's eensxirnble ire. It was all as clear and intelligible as the per- formances of Messrs. IIASXELYOT: and COOKE— and, to be just, about as free from detailed sham and organised deception. I quote," quoth the right hon. magician, from The Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom, published by the Board of Trade, the following figures, show- ing the actual amount of national expenditure during the last five years, and the corresponding figures for the previous five years, when the Liberals were in power under Mr. GLADSTONE. The figures for the five years of Tory rule are as under:—1S75, 1876, £76,G21,773; 1877, 1878, £82,403,HJ5; 1879, £85,107,789; total of five years' expenditure under Tory rule, .£39C,8SG,32:1:; average of the five years, The figures for the five years under a Liberal Government are as fol- lows:—1870, £GS,FG,1,752; 1S71, £ 69,548,539;! 1872, £71,490,020; 1873, £70,7H,.H8; 1874,1 £76,-166,.510; total for five years under Liberal rule, £ 357,<>S4,2G9; average of five years, £71,416,853. You will observe that in round numbers this shows an increase of eight millions." Hey, presto !—the thing was done. There could be no doubt of it, and the right hon. gentleman bowed gracefully amid a running fire of Arbroathian cheers. The figures lack the charm of novelty they arc rather musty, and a trifle old; but they possess an accuracy which compares favourably with that. of Mr. BAXTER'S normal asseverations. It is the tricky use to which they were put which arouses our critical defiance. The right hon. member observed with truth that the Conservative five years showed an increase of eight millions over the Liberal five years, but—to turn one of his ow n phrases in upon himself—" rash and wrong-headed man as he is, he did not venture to assert that, had the Liberals remained in office during the last five years, the national expenditure would have remained at the same average of £71,416,853 which it stood at during the years 1870-74. Further, he did not trouble himself—ingenious man!—to explain "how OJ-to use one of Dr. terms—" it was done." He did not take the gaping Abroathians by the hand and lead them through the thorny and expensive paths of Liberal policy and legislation. He did not show them how the increase he deprecated had been the constantly growing increment of the long list of Liberal misdemeanour which led, in 1874, to the disgrace and the disruption of the Glad- stone Government. He did not recapitulate the sums which the Conservatives had been in duty bound to spend upon the renovation of a "phantom fleet," and the resuscitation of a skeleton army." He did not so much as allude to the extravagant expenditure entailed by the Liberal Education Act. He never mentioned that the general :'ise in wages had necessitated increased soldiers, and the sailors' pay to the tune of nearly £5,000,000, as between the years 1873-4 and 1878-9 alone. He told the truth, but not the whole truth. He was guilty of a political suppressio veri. He pointed with dis- ingenious severity at the eight millions but he did not observe that, had the Liberals been in office, we should have been involved in a European war, and the increased expenditure would have been not eight millions, nor eighteen millions, but eighty millions. But it is time to examine some of Mr. BAXTER'S other charges. Is it not the case," asked Mr. BAXTEP., that the present Government have added more than twenty millions sterling to the unfunded debt p" Quite true, and the present Government take credit to themselves for the transaction. If Mr. BAXTER will be at the pains of perusing the an- nexed figures—reproduced a pamphlet, issued with the sanction of the Conservative's Central Oií-ice-he will be in a position to realise why the Government deem increase of the un- funded debt a thing to be proud of. In the five years, lS¡VO-J, the Liberals Paid off permanent debt £ 15,780.000 Paid off iioating debt. l.'liziooo Increased loans, about 2,000,000 Total £ 22,197,000 In the Ji ve years, 18715-[1, the Conservatives Paid of? permanent debt £ 27. C25 C0A Paid off floating debt Increased loans, about 17.000,000 Total £ 3?,G25,000 Deduct increase of floating debt 21,677.000 It follows :— *00° (1). That the Conservatives paid off of debt more than the Liberals did in the same length of time. 1 (2). That the Conservatives increased the float- ing debt by X- Mr. BAXTER will be good enough to notice and in this lies the mainspring of Conservative content—that the said increase of £ 21.677,000 is accounted for thus :— (A.) By loans to local authorities (inclusive of a large sum ad- vanced to School Boards for building purposes), on pood security, and regularly repaid with good interest 012 it"} 0^0 (B). By Suez Canal Shares pur- chase money, also in course of repayment, with interest ?, £ 07 COO' (C). By yofcas of Credit bonds, to be repaid ia the threo ye.rs end- itg T),:):)j. C:}-) £ 21,oco If he has carefully followed the je figures, BAXTER cannot very well help recognising that the Conservatives have cause for congratulation in the facts (1). That they paid off more of debt than the Liberals did, and (2) that by the 3 u Jieious outlay of a large sum, at good interest, and regularly repayable, they relieved the local taxo- and fostered the inception and the completion of useful public works.

The work of revising the lists of voters has proceeded during the week. On Thursday and Friday the Wrexham lists were examined. An important meeting of the Wrexham Town Council was held on Tuesday last, when a letter was read from the Local Government Board censuring the Sanitary Authority for not taking more complete steps in the matter of disinfecting in the recent outbreak of diphtheria. The TOIvS CLERK tendered his resignation of the office he has so worthily held for so many years, which was accepted, and arrangements made to ap- point his successor. It was decided to purchase a steam roller, and to make application to Parliament to proceed with the proposed new streets. The new church at Bwlchgwyn was consecrated on Wednesday by the BIsnop of ST. ASAPU. who preached in the morning. His LORDSHIP subsequently presided at a luncheon, in which he referred to the Church a.nd its future work. He also referred in thankful terms to what the VICAR of BRYJIBO, his curate, and Mr. and Mrs. KYRKE had done to further the work which was successfully concluded that day. The business before the county magistrates on Monday was very heavy, no less than G2 cases being on the list. Two courts were held. The cases included an alleged theft of porter from the premises of the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway. The adjourned inquiry into the cause of the death of a male infant at Brynestyn has resulted in a verdict tantamount to that of death from natural causes. Thus the serious charge fore- shadowed on the first day of the inquest has happily not been substantiated. The statement also made with regard to the medical attendance it has been shown was entirely without founda- tion, and altogether incorrect. We regret that we published it, but when stated in court as this was, the natural conclusion was that it was correct, and would be borne out by evidence, We can only say that the CORONER should be a little more careful in making inquiries before he makes his statements to the jury. At the Rhyl Petty Sessions Mr. ,J. LLOYD was fined the full penalty of £ 0 and costs for cruelty to a horse. He gave notice of appeal against the decision. An important meeting was held at Denbigh on Thursday to protest against Dr. HARPER'S scheme for the management of Jesus College, Oxford. < Three of the District Highway Boards have held their meetings during the week. On day the members of the Ruthin Board met. and on the following day the Wrexham and the Hope and Hawarden. Several proposed improvements in the several districts were considered. A meeting of the Ruthin Town Council was held on WedViesday. The proceedings transacted were of the ordinary character. The Liberals in the neighbourhood of Newtown held a meeting on Monday, under the presidency of Lord SrnELET, when Mr. GIIA^T DTTIT, M.P., in a lengthy speech, severely condemned the Government. Mr. S. REXPALL, the Hon. F. HAXPURY-TKACY, M.P., and Mr. D. DAVIES, M.P., proposed resolutions to the same effect. The concluding portion of the letter on Dis- establishment is published this week. It is very trenchantly written, but the circumstances are not over-rated. The correspondence will be read with a great degree of interest by all who have the welfare of the Church at heart.

THE WELSH COLLEGE. The controversy which has been raging for some •time over the endowments and the future arrangements and management of Jesus College, Oxford, was further ex- emplified on Thursday at. when an important meeting tool: piaeo. it was numerousiy and influentiaiiy attended, 1 he LORD LIEUTEXAXT of the County presiding. The merits of the case have been pretty well dis- cussed, thanks to the great interest The DEAN of has taxen in the matter, and all who have the true interests of the Prir.cir.-ality at heart are unanimous in conaeinir.<r the ,heme- which Dr. HARPER has propounded ier the future of this Welsh College. He have Welshmen robbed of their just dues, and n.;rmit other than the Welsh people to t in the benefits which should be exclusively Welsh. This confiscation of rights, how-aver, is not to be- permitted with impunity, and most able champions have ccme forward to do battle on behalf c the eish in the peryens of the DEAX of B ASGO IT, in North Wales, and the RECTOR of MERTHYR, in the .South. With what purpose is too well known, and with what success is obvious. They will carry the aav the cleverness of Dr. HARPER, and thee do so because they have right on thuir -As we have said, the question has been thoroughly discussed. Consequently the meeting on Thurs- day was not so much for this purpose as to express emphatically in formal resolaLX:_s the opinion of the inhabitants in that of the Principality. A simila.r meeting is to Iielu in a few clays in South Yv ales, and with the exnrc -sion of opinion thus gathered from ih." and the south the champions of Welsh, irjt. -o-ts may take heart and proceed without- flinching in out doing Dr. HARPER'S confiscating sdieme.

CHURCH EXTENSION. On Wednesday the cnureh to- the new district of Bwlchgwyn was formally dedicated by the BIsnop of ST. ASAPH for "Divine worship. At present the district is part and p?.rcei 01 the vicarage of Brynibo, but it is pronged to make it a sepcicde parish. The consccratiOn services were very largely attended. At the morning service the BISHOP* preached, and presided at a luncheon which subsequently took place. In responding for his health, his LDKIVSHIP made some very excellent remarks with regard to the Chu rch. He said it was Arery eneou"ari-hi°' to O D know that the Church still had lifo in it. The proceedings that took place that day was but example of this. Go where one mav. new parishes are being formed, now churches erected, and the spiritual wants of the people more generally cared for. This is only as it should be. The Church, some years since, did not keep pace with the times. It rested upon its labours, and the result has been most deplorable. JAOAV, however, it is fulfilling its appointed task in a quiet unostentatious iuaiiiaer. The Bisi-iop believes there are greater days before us for our beloved Church. That their is there can be no doubt. His LORDSHIP considers that the Church of England is the model of the great Church of the future, and he looks for- ward to the time when those who differed now, not on the fundamental points of religion but only on the externals, would como nearer to eacll other. It is the wish of all that the time for the accomplishment of this may be hastened, when the petty divergencies which are now often discussed with bitter rancorous feeling shall have ceased to exist.
