WHOLESALE MUKDEKS IN A GLKMAN UOTEI,. UORRIBLT: DISCOVERY. Our Rerlin correspondent, telegraphing on Fri- day, say Considerable seMation has been pro- duced at Zurzig in Pomerania, by R ghititl)- dis- covery made by the proprietor of an hotel there. He feund in the cellar six corpses only about a foot beneath *he surface uf the earth. One was that of a merchant named Furstenburg, who dis- appeared mysteriously three years ago. Two workmen were suspected of his murder, and were kept In prison eleven months. The other bodies were also of traders. The former landlord of the hotel went to America last year. The Prussian police aro trying to trace him.

AFFAIKS IN ZULULAXD. Further correspondence concerning the affairs of Zululand and the adjacent territories was i-sued among the P?HiKm.'nt?rypnper-i en Fri?y. Th!

Lord Derby again wrote to Sir Henry Bulwer on August 19, saying that it appeared from tho com- munication addressed bv Usibepu to the Govern- ment- that he considered himseif to be in the position of an ally from whom aid to which he was justly entitled had been withheld. This, however, was not the view of her Majesty's Government, and they did not consider they had denied to I'sibepu any assistance he was entitled to. Had they been under anv obligation to defend him such aid would not have been withheld on the ground of its inconvenience or risk. The Government had, however, entered into no such engagement, and all, therefore, he was entitled to was an asylum in the K-.serve, whilf, jolvu:J he abuse his portion there by intrigue or piuns of re. taliation, h must be ruui-ved.

THE EISTEDDFOD. FIFTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. LrBOM OCR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ] LIVERPOOL, FIUDAT. The proceedings this morning opened with a meeting of the Cymmrodarlon Section, held at the Town-hall, under the presidency of Clwydfardd." A paper on" Eisteddfod Reform was read by Mr. W. E. Davies. The attendance was smaller than at any of the previous meetings of the society. Among those present were"Clwydfardd,"Messrs Mrchl\nt Williams, J. Alun Jones, C. W, Jones (London), "Hwfa M5n," "Owalchmai," R. W. Jones, Elenzer Roberts, Revs. Dr. John Hughes, Griffith Kllis, Hugh Jones (Liverpool), 0, S. Parry, E. C. Evans, John Evans, &c. The Rev. GRIFFITH ELLIS, who presided, In Intro- ducing the reader of the paper said that Mr. Davies was well entitled to be heard on the sub- jecc of Eisteddfod reform, because he was the honorary secretary of the very successful Eistedd- fod held at Carnarvon in 1877, and he had taken a deep and active interest in all Eisteddfodlc mat- ters in London. Mr, W, E. DAVIKS then read a paper on I, E13- teddfod Reform." He said that throughout its history the Eisteddfod had been essentially a popular nnd national gathering, and in discussing iu reform It was therefore of paramount impur- tance that It must be thought of as a whole and in all its varied connections. It would never do to tinker It so as to suit the views of an individual, or of any particular class. The Eisteddfod was not entirely an educational Institution, as many people thought, Its direct influence was, after all, small Its Indirect influence was, no doubt, con- siderable, but it must be remembered that to many thousands of those who thronged the Eisteddfod pavilions its meetings were an amusement pure and simple. But the mere presence of these crowds exercised upon the competitors a very strong encouraging influence, and if it were only on that ground nothing should be done to alienate them. (Applause.) The fault most frequently urged against the Eiqteddlod-that musical com- petitions were accorded far more than their share of its metings-was in itself a proof of the thorough- ness with which the national ideas found ex- pression at the gathering. Was it not a fact that music, especially in the direction of choral singing, occupied too large a shate of the time and attention of the Welsh people? Choral singing in Wales was originally encouraged nnd fostered by the Eisteddfod, but it had grown to its present condition owing to the ample oppor- tunities afforded to its development in Wales until it now thretened to become the one pursuit and recreation of the peo p I@ The r.?d, was :ip:r;Î S)lde be to ;:k/;¡O s, libraries, and museums as generally accessible as choir practices were. L'ntil opportunities were afforded for acquiring knowledge In branches of learning and culture other than that of vocal music, it was useless tn blame the F.iste idfod for being so musical. The well could not be made pure and wholesome if the disturbing cause was allowed to rest at the fountain head. The objects of the Eisteddfod, as -tt fOlth b v various autho- rities n the ,ub j ect, wei-e the encouragement e17 i ..t nuieet ;it::t Uol}:en the fine rW; to develop ,,d ?ulti,.t?, the tl.?t. of the Welsh people, and to adopt such measures as from time to time might be advisable to elevate the position of the Welsh nation, socially, morally, and intellectually. Other objects were the collec- tion and arrangement of historical records and remains of Welsh literature, and to aid in the pub- lication of original works. All these objects were not kept in sight with equal thoroughness at our Eisteddfodau, but he thought it would be allowed that on the whole an honest and fairlv successful attempt was made to carry them into effect. The conclusion arrived at was that, so far as the general plan was concerned, the Eisteddfod was not in need nf reform or of any re-modelling. That this conclusion was correct was proved by the fact that, although from 1858 down to the present, day several papers counselling radical changes in the Eisteddfod had been prepared, not one of them had ever been adopted. The character of the able men who on several occa-ions prepared Ihem, and of the thoroughly representative assemblies that con- sidered them, forbade any other assumption than that tliey were rejected" because they failed to prove any necessity for their acceptance. The only direct result that had accrued from these papers had been the recognition of the necessity for holding the Hsteddfod ahornatelv in North and South Wales, and that the control o( the E'steddfod management should be vested in some national and permanent association. After dis, cussing the suggestions made in these papers, IIIr Davies said it seemed to him that their object should be to m ike the Eisteddfod as fascinating as possible; tosuri-ound it with as much honour as they could to raise its prestige as K competitive meeting, nd by so doing to excite emulation in the minds of young Welshmen and Welsh- women. When the Kisteddfod had called forth some bright, promising, talented young people, let their Musical Colleges, Art Academies, and Universities edu"Rte them, leaving the Uorsedd to examine candidates fix purely Welsh subjects, just as the)" did in the present day. But, although he ventured thus to think that the Eisteddfod was an Institution which did not need any radical re-mmelling, he admitted regretfully hut promptly that in the management f the :te':JO¡'t);e:'ap:. I,I/I'f:. ¡u1: That these blemishes should lie eo'few its they are was, he thought, highly creditable to the committee who have from time to time had to organise an Eisteddfod. The committee had often been chosen hunledl\ they had had to l'!arn their duties as they went along, and thev had often had to do their work in far too huri-it-damitanor. That they should have done that work in so generally excellent a manner reo dounded to their credit and that of the Welsh people. He desired to point out to future Eistedd- fod Committees a danger which seemed to him to ba a serious and increasing one. He referred to the want of directness of aim which too often charac- terised the subjects offered at Eiswddfodau. Except in isolated and special cases, the subjects selected should have for their aim the development nnd encouragement of Welsh talent, and they ought to be chosen with a regard, not to Wales as optimists would have it, but as it actually existed at the present moment. After refeniug in detail to some of the faultaof management of the Eisteddfod, and particularly to the haphazard way In I,Ich places were Ie¡'d I:'h,?n:r.e lnt711;lh ufe:tR,W: author Rug4,?ted what he considered would W a cure. He Mid: In the first place let a Uorsedd be called for the purpose of electing a capable and representative central and permanent committee. By permanent he meant that the committee should be a standing one, the nlfmher8 being chosen annually at the Eisteddfod Gorsedd. The Gorsedd might, ot course, change them ns might seem de- sirable. He knew, of course, that no argument (,o\1ld tnko place in Gorsedd, but he used the Word 1\.lwi,'1.: more generally intelligible than the mis- lellding title of "Con¡¡re. of Bards," because not 01 Iy hmls but all holding Gorsedd deg"rees had a right to attend. rc':P¡':IiI the Gorsedd (,n) ratify nd proclaim tl?e decisions of the previous congress. To return to the proposed committee, l?? would .2g(,-t it should -n,if?t f ;"nrli:n;ld:;Nd;¿J;'ho not cit o member of the Gorsedd, to represent each county of Wales, two such persons to represent Liverpool, two for Manchester, and two for London. To these should he added the chair- man of the Council, the chairman of the Execu- tive Committee, and the hontpary secretary of the National Eisteddfod Association, and fifteen members of the Gorsedd to represeut literature, music, and the fine arts. After further suggestions as to rhe work of this committee, tho essayist con- cluded by asking that they should with that unitv of purpose which had always characterised Welsh- men when free from English Influence work together with hend, and heart, and hand tu place IIpon" firmer and more efficient footing the grand old Eisteddfod which their I\I,ce..to,ocheri.hednnd preserved, and which they all had loved and did love so well. (Lnud applause.) A discussion followed. THE COMPETITIONS. The attendance nt the Pavilion when the pro- ceedings opened this morning was verv meagre. The chair WAR taken by hlr.

DYFED. THE CHAIRED BARD "DYFED." BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. LBY bloalrN-1 "Uyfed," the di3tingui»hed young bard who won the Chair Prize at the National Eisteddfod at Liverpool on Thursday, and whose portrait ap- pears above, was born 30 years ago at a farmhouse near Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. His father's name was James Rees, and hi. mother's Christian name was Eunice, 1 mention this more particularly be. cause It was the name of the mother of young Timotheus, the beloved disciple of the Apostle Paul. The Welsh Eunice, like the mother of the aaid disciple, seems to have taken great care to bring up her son in Mich • manner as to direct his thoughts to elevating pursuits. This is made more manifest when it isstated that when U Dyfed" was but five years of age the whole care of the future poet and eight other children fell upon his mother's shoulders by the death of her husbnnd. Eight years ago Eunice herself followed over to the bourne from whence no tra- veller returns. A pity she did not live to witness the great honQur paid to her fatherless son by 12,000 men and women in the great city of Liverpool. What would the fond mother have said and felt hid she beheld, as I did, the vast, brilliant audience springing to their feet and thrice cheering her modest and retiring Evan. The mother was too poor 10) give "Dyfed "any schooling, except that obtained at that school Charles o'r Bala" provided for thousands of tho sons of Wales, namely, the Sunday School. When" Oyfed" was less than a year old his parents removed from Fish- guard to Aberdare, where the father entered upon duties hitherto strange to him in one of the collieries. Their home was like ten thousand other homes In Wales—days of toil, nights of leisure, frequent visits tu chapel, and the Ysgol Egwyddorol, or literary night school, in connection with the chnpel. At these meetings Dyfed and his brothers and sisters were frequent visitors. By-and-bye "Dyfed," then called Evan, com- menced reciting chapterafrom the Bible, now before the Sunday School, then before the preacher and the congregation in the chapel. At a very early age, for Lord Aberdnre's Mines Regulation Act had not Come into existence then, I)rfed was com- pelled by the necessities of their home to en¡:Age I in some occupation at the neighbouring work" Having laboured as a collier for some years, and by the sweat of his brow maintained his mother and brother and sisters, he. on the death of severnl of the family, went to Cardiff in the employ of the Taff Vnle Railway Company as a porter. Having on several occasions given indications of his litent genius, he was invited by some of hi. admirers to devote his gifts to the service of the Qospel. He after much hesitation conunted, and entered upon the duties of the pulpit about eight years ago as an itinerant, preacher with the Calvinistic Methodist Connexion. Those who witnessed his first efforts know that he appeared from the beginning like one born for the work. During his residence at Cardiff he has had some educational training with the Rev- Edwin Williams, at present a Presby- terian minister at Aberdnre, and on the open- ing of the South Wales College he entered and continued aiadaystudent up to the end of the session. We understand that he has had several invitations to pastorates in South Wales, but has preferred to thoroughly qualify himself for the pulpit by a sound training. He ho., however, been to London on several occasions to fill diffe- rent pulpits, among them being that of ths well- known Methodist Church in Jewln-crescent, Lon- don, and also that of the Methodist Church at Holloway. He was ordained at Taibach last August. This is the fifth Chair Prize for Dyfed'' to win. He obtained one for poem on Love" at the Merthyr National Eisteddfod, another for one on the M WretJlt of the Northfleet." at Blackwood, another on The Spring of Lire" at Treorky, one on "Light" ut R New York Eisteddfod, and this one on Hlraethog at Liverpool. Having won the chair at the National Eisteddfod in South Wale, and again now at the North Wales one, for such is the Liverpool Eisteddfod, he will now be recognised as the most accomplished poet of Wales. I remember once being at a Crystal Palace concert given in aid of the Tynewydd Fund. When a Welsh miner, dressed in evening costume, with white kid gloves, dazzling white shirt-front, white nck- tie, and hair brushed carefully back, made his appearance, a venerable naval officer Rqked me Do you mean to tell me that gentleman is a Welsh miner." "I am certain he is," was my reply. The gallant old officer's cheeks were instantly bedewed with tears, and he !t8id, Why, you astonish me." There is no doubt many at the Eisteddfod on Thursday were similarly astonished when they learnt that the successful yuung poet was until recently a Welsh workman and entirely sell-taught. He has two brothers and a sister living, namely, "Nathan Wvn," the well-known poet of Ystrnd Mr. JamesRees, Treorky; and birs. Jjnes, Moun- tain Ash.

FORMATION OF A UNION FOR GLAMORGAN- SHIRE AD MONMOUTBSHIRF., On Frulav evening the business of the Autumnal Frovincial Conference was broughr to a close b'y meeting of delegates and temperance workers, held at the Lecture-room of the Young Men's Christian Association, Cardiff. Mr, Richard Cory, J.P., pre- sided. The following gentlemen also occupied seats on the platform: Tlie Revs. W. Walkiss, Car- diff; Idrisyn Jones, Newport; U. M. Murphy, London; Messrs. Lewis Williams, T. S. Jones, Frederick Smith (secretary of the United Kingdom Band of Hope), and Dr. Scholfield. The Chair- man, in "is opening remarks, expressed the pleasure he felt that the walings held during the week had been so successful, and he was sure much good had been effected. He believed it to be a Christian duty to as far as lay in their power, the cause of temperance, nd to n their utmost to remove any traffic that. tendency to mdoes8fsoe aoIltic';II: I wou Idbe glad to leai n that the licensing magis- | Ar.te. ,t Cardiff had done the ,1. du the Licensing Sessions and the adjuurned I ? i,) held on Friday no less than fifteen new t)pli?.ti.,w for li-es had been rdused, and five old ones ?n(,elled. Mr. Smith then proceeded to explain the object and scope of I he proposed Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire Band of Hope Union. He thought that the forma- tion of R general union for the two counties would he productive of much good. Several institutions of a like nature existed in England, and he felt it was time that one should be estab- lished in Wales. There could bo no doubt that the Hand of Hope Union derived material support from such institutions.—The Rev. G, M. Murphy cordially supported the movement to establish a Band of Hope Union for Monmouth- shire and Glamor'.anshire. The influence of such a body was a power that no one could dispute. They had aroused the ire of the publican, the brewer, and the distiller, and it was there- fore neceqsary that they should be united. —Mr. Atkins, the organising secretary of the Band of Hope Union, wm the next speaker. He said that during the week he had visited the chief towns in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, and found everywhere the Band of Hope sentiment was strong. There were plenty of workers, and he was quite sure that the two counties were ripe to form an union.—After considerable discussion, Mr. Thomas proposed "That a Band of Hope Union be foruied for the counties of Monmouth and Glamorgan." This waa seconded by Mr. Webber, and carried unanimously. The meeting then pro- ceeded to consider the proposed constitution set forth in a circular that had been issued to the delegates. After some alight alterations the constitution was adopted. It was then decided that the annual meetings of the Union should be held at Cardiff, Newport, and Swansea alternately, and that a provisional com- mittee should meet at Cardiff on the 11th of October for the purpose of fomuIRti?ig rules and other business, Mr, T. S. Jones being a ointed en :tIi.S. fov': iI,fl chairman terminated the proceedings.

THE RESTORATION OF LQUGHOR I CHURCH. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE. THE ARCHDEACON OF ST. DAVID'S ON DISESTABLISHMENT. The prettily-situated church of Loughor, raised Upon an eminence overlooking the Lougtior Kiwr, I is dedicated to St. Michael. The old structure cannot 1111 claim to any special nntiquity, though the form or plan is in good proportion and known a8 the parallelogram. It is divided into a chancel i 19ft. long 16ft. wide and a nav« 51ft long by 20ft. Gin. wide, with a south porch 8ft. 6in. square. An estimate WIIS first obtained for the restoration of the interior only, with new windows and roof; but on removing the battening and plaster off the wills ond the old pews It was discovered that the walls were in some places unsafe and dangerous, and it was decided that they should be pulled down and the nave rebuilt upon the old lines. The interior fittings consisted of high-backed pew., goine square, a ponderous pulpit placed in the west end of the church, and consequently the congri'gution had to turn their bck. to the chancel. A gallery was placed against the chRncelarch facing we-to ward. This seating was evidently placed there in 1802 or a few yearn afterwards. The reHtorlltiun !nd rebuilding will be in theeurly pointed Btyle, and carried out in a simple ..d .ub.I,tial manner, the windows being single light lancet, The chancel window will bj a three light lancet filled in with stained class, representing tlie transft- rmtion of our Lord. This will be in memory of the late &v. Canon Powdl Jones, H.D., Ll.?t,-I.nt, who was for many years rector of this patioli it will be the gift of special subscribers arid friends. The chancel will be raiaed from the nave bv two steps, and the door of this part of the church »il! be i,d with en?ustic tiles. In the cit?n?i?%hL be choir stalls and prayer desks, with lectern, fid- atool, credence table and sedilia, and small ambyre in the south wall. On the north side will be added a vestry. The seating "ill be of oak, and the aisles laid with encaustic tiles. The root of the Mve and chancel will be open timber, coloured and plastered behind rafters, and will be of figured pitch pine. The work i. being c.Tied out from plans prepared by Mr. J. Buckley Wilson, of SWlln- sea, by Mr. Biuwn, of the same tom a, and the cofct ia 8I\timated at £ 1,100. Towaidsthis sum there was subscribed up to the laying of the foundation 8ione, which took place on Frilay, itbou, L506, and the collection on t hat day realised £41 odd. The ceremonv took place in the afternoon, when there were amongst thos8 present Archdeacon James, Carmarthen the Hev., T. Walters, 1>,1> Uansamlet; Daniel Lewis, Aberavon; Evan Morgan, rector of the parish 0, HochRfll.. curate at tiower Koad; J. W. Jones, Llandilo»T«lybont; W. O. Davies, (inrseiuoti, &c. After prayers had been read the stone was laid by Mrs. Wright, of (iouer Koad, under which was a parchment inscribed aa rollows:- Tills foundation stone for the restoration of t}lh enujeb, called ESt. Michael's, situated ill tlie borough 01 Loughor, was laid on Frida y the 19th da'v of September, In the y«Hrofour Lord 1W34, bv Mrs. J.

After tlie ceremony Archdeacon J$ delivered un nddiem, in which lie thanked Mrs Wright in his own nllllle and in tlie name ul" all interested In this work for the graceful and workmanlike manner in which the perlorn.ed the duties de- voWinic upon her. He referred to the first official visit he paid to that parish, when, H. they were doubtless aware, it became his duty to examine Into the condition of the church and ils precincts, and report upon it. He need not tell theui how his heart sunk within him Wilen he saW the dilapidated condition of that liuu-e of God. From Il?'t moment he f?IL the ;luteFrce8;i:t Ct':It i"II,:td¡:.t 8t; Ni.g t.k.. for the purpose ,t r?.,t.,i?g the church, but it was found that there "crd c.nujn difficulties in tJ?. way t th.it time. A- tl!?)- were ,I:In: :{n:tr;,I'iipuJ:i¡e: ¡ ing up in another paot of the I'al i.h, ..I it WaS felt to be of the u inost importance that rtep, ..u,d be laken to provide for the pi.ilu,,l wants of tho place. A tfie-it encouragement was held out to them by the liberal offer of £1,000 by the representative of the house of Penllerg ki-e towards the erection of a church, and the work was rapidly completed. 11,. felt sure, from a conversa- tion which he had with the rector 00 the day of con- secrating the new church, that the old one would be restored. He (the archdeacon) attended 1\ meeting of parishioners, presided over by Mr, Llewelyn, at which Nonconformists as well..s Churchmen were present, and all united in it deter. mination that no sioue should be left unturned in order to wipe away the 8c.lndlll of hav'-ng 1\ parish church in the condition to whid] it had sUlik. vcl proposals were made, (me of which Wgt; that a new site should be selected. He was aiad that that was not neces-ary, because there weicn hundred sacred associations connected with the P"ri-h Church. TlIe' loved to worship wheretheir forelatl ITS for generations had o/f"red up pr.iver and IJri-. to the Uod ?f Heaven thev ai-o Joved to dwell upon the thought that their friends bad been put to rest under the shadow of ti,e old church, in the hope thai, their boneR would r. in in undisturbed until the Lord Nine. Let the Parish Church remain on the old site, and, if another-were required in another part of the parish let it be built, because he believed that the mo,e hou-e. of liod they had the more would the Church get deeply rooted in the hearts and affections of the people. Some people th"ught it was oniv npces- .IfY to patch up the old church but %?lint??vt r they gave to Uod should be of the best. When God raised a temple to Himself through his peculiar people no wealth was spared to render it worthy of what it was intended to be. There was another point. S-me would say," Why are you so busy in these days In re- storing your churches and erecting new ones. no you not remember that w.nd,rf.1 disestablish- ment campaign which t-k pi.?? during 1.?;t "inter ttnou?hout the whole of Wales ? Why are you building when the time cannol be far distinv when this house will be, perhaps, devoted to some other purpose ?" He wished to say one or two words upon this point. He thoroughly believed that the way to keep off disestablishment was to show that they were earnest in the discharge of the high and glorious commission which the great Head of the Church had given to them. It might bo that tilers were dark clouds gathering around, and that there were t?i.:$ waiting the Church of God, but thev should remember that when Josiah was told of tfto trials and judgments that were to fall upon the nation t? -i,.i ,ut wij' .?.1 ..d earnestness h. work l??,d u.d,?,t k,-?. He was building for eternitv, though he felt that few years might bring .11 'Ib Ir into dust. It was their duty nt the pre- sent, moment when they were attacked on all .id?,. to be up .,?d d R, and ""I to r??t upon! t heir oars, Let them ive the best to Uod, know- ¡"g that. it was a high privilege to bp thus tOm- ployed. Be WAR 8Mry that II poriinn of the old: building—the chancel—was left standing, aud he hoped they would contribute to rebuild it. The Rev, Dr. Wsi.xms delivered an address in Welsh, in which I'. alluded to the great necessity \;I;Ioi ;r'l'I:¡ČI;i,:d ,¡'II'.eÙ IJ: .1?,?U Id not be in a N-ttt?r 81al of repair than the House of God, and he tru"leJ Ihe chllnce\ w, uld soon be rebuilt. He was glad to hear that people of all denominations co-operated with the Church people in this work. Archdeacon JAMES then pronounced the benedic- tion, and the proceedings terminated.

Again IInd olloil1, have we been t«»'«i that the attitude of the Church towards Methodism in tho 1Ht centurv was due to the fact that the Bishops of those days were Englishman, and strangers to the ft-f'1 in1!"8 RS ".11 as to the language of thp country; and, a#nin and again, have we te'-n assured that had thp Bishops of those days been Welshmen, they would have understood tho signs of the time., the aspirations and hopes of their flocks, and their yearnings for better things and a higher spiritualitv, and that 1\. 1\ result there would have been no separation of the M thndi*tR from the Church, We), to-day we have four Bishops nnd among them one Englishman.

Mr. (i@e, the great pa'riot of North Wah»«. gave foul columns nr particulars of the private meeting of the North Wales Colleg* Council last we 'k this week he gives four columns more. The council determined at their very last sitting that their pro- ceedings were to he held sacred.

Mr. Gpf" apology is the nntiohAl charter of the establishment. Thp Privy Council—the Cnt.:npt- Rre nat-onal al<o The proceedings of thp Privv Council and nf the Cabinet are private. But on assumption his dutv, if lip were n IIwm. ber of either, would be to break the oath of secrecv a ( ahinet Minister ha6 to take.ati 1 give lile world, through the Jlantr, all the "ral" geerets communi- coted in Coundl mal in Cabinet. There i. n strange code of monls at Denbigh, and tlie nip. philosopher, and friend of the Denbighshire Liberals is the npo"I.' of that code. We are told that, A national establishment, in the true meaning of tly* phrase, the subscribers to the North Wale* College in. tended the College to be." Tlie subscribers' What have the subscribers to do in the ra.p-eo? The C ollege has been founded by Parliament, not bv «ub>cribers, and itxill take the />>wr øonw time to prove that Parliament interred the College to have Jt governing body the fr*, duty of whose TnrubPr pems to hp to break the solemn ohliga- tÍnn of secrecy they are unopr. "But," continues the apostle of Denbigh, w WP were persuaded months ago that Hangor wou1d hP dangerous to the hR1th of the College, and ;n Ihe fulness (r n .h In' 'im qho (,,IJ"K would f;.H un<Vr the sway ofthe disease of the Established Church." Th foregoing sentence mav be pl..nt ;n Welsh, but, w,?i?inR that, ti" Established Church teaches the duty of obserring "our, We are bound :0 confess," the artkle goes on," we did not expect that unpleasant it!n8 would le apparent in uie nrst coiiegmte year" I agree I dirt not expect to see a member of thp council publishing the secrets of the governing body far and wide. « However,so it is." sai»h Mr. Gee, hut the duty of ev"r'OnA who In''e his country i? t" try Rnd with"and .1\ influences injurious to tI t1. y and witli-Ind all influln?s injtiric,u, t, also in this sense." It is difficult to make anv .e of the P.sS"p-bllt bv iddo" I under-1 stand Mr. Gee. "The council," aajth Mr Ge. M was elected by the governor* tl) the governors, therefore, the council i should have submitted the charter. The charter is the deed of foundation by which the College will be governed through the coining vear*. It is, therefore, of¥reat importancethat the instrument hollld tw n8 perfect as ,8.jhl.. In the multi- tude of counsel is wisdom. But the council has judged otherwise, and on their shoulders be the responsibility.

DISSATISFACTION IN PAm, [u STASOAltD" TELJo:OR\1.1 pAkis, SEPT. 18.—Tliurpnre rumours current of :i cl:«i{rwmpnt in the Ministry, and tlicro are un. nm::iknt>!e symptoms that M. Ffrrv's position Is very mHU.ri.illj> stwken. Tin ^irite.i Colonic [clicy nncl the Chinese adventure are regarded with a;ij-|.inS but favour by the gr,t bulk of Fsvncl. public opinion. The feverish life of Paris and the inflated article of the Parisian press create a k;nd of artificial atmosphere which is utterly' mijleading, and the inlfuence of which does not a ccrjn limited tadiu. Tl* Voltmrt informs us this morning that M. furry contemplates the orjfHnisation of a Coloi.inl •irmy. He wiil have to lose no time about it. At present he lias drained the Foreign Legion -knl the Marine Infantry to the verge of exhaustion, and the 20.000 men he needs for the scrying out of his Chinese campaign can only be drawn from the regulisr nvniy, Hnd this the Minister of War declines to assent to without Uing covered by a vote of the Legislature. Under these circumstances it is probable that at the next Cabinet Council, to be held on Tuesday tiext, the meeting of the Legislature may be fixed for an earlier date than was origin>tlly contem- plated. Meanwhile, Admiral Courtwt is being worried by telegrams to do something; but Admiral Curbet i. <oland cautious, and Is not likely to compromise hi. professiODl\1 character to suit tilo l'arliaiuentary requirements of the Ministry. i" KKL'TKB's I TIKNTSTN*, SEPT. 19.—The Chinese Government yesterday made an apology to Sir Harry Parkes, n-i'ish Minister at Fekin. for tlw action of the Kinpai Forte in firing on the gunboat Zephyr.
