THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1883, "I- The annual meeting of the Council of the South \Vales and Moninouthshirtt Liberal Federation was held yesterday at Pembroke Hock. SPEAKING at a conference in the after- noon, S;r George Trovetyan SAID UIE aotion of the L-'oeral UnioniaU in nupporting the Con- servatives had resolved itself into a crusade tr exterminate the Liberal party, and con- tended that all Liberals who supported the PRESENI Government were voting in favour of Establishment in Wales, of an unreforined House of Lords, and against the control of Lhe drink traffic by the people. Sir George Trevelyan, in responding to a vote of thanks for bit services to the Liberal I party passed at a meeting at Pembroke Dock j last evening, said that if Parliament refused I to do for Wales what the wished to do for i herself it would be reaponsiMe for the bd blood aud turuul inonrred in '.he tithe war. Lord Bute last night, at the opening of the NEW Athenneuni Buildings in Glasgow, de- livered a scholarly disquisition upon the phenomena of history. Lord Braasey delivered an address before the London Chamber of C'ommeroe yesterday afternoon on the subject of the inadequate dffenoes of British coaling stations. Lord Charles Beresford, at the same meeting, in response to a oall from the chairman, referred to hia resignation. He said he bad gone out on a (luestioll which he considered a national one, and he boptd that when tto-day) be made a full explanation to bis constituents be would have his own service and the Army, and even the taxpayers, behind him. The negotiations for establishing a Treaty of Commerce letweeit France and Italy haVH BEEN broken off, and the delegates appointed to discuss the pointt at issue have been re-, called by their respeotive Governments. A jolliery accident occurred in British Columbia yesterday, in which fifty miners perished. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is spoken of in Canada as the probable isuccessor of Lord Lanadowna to the Governor-Generalship. The large new steel steamer, the Asama, will sail from Cardiff Docka with a cargo of 6,000 tons of Powell Doffryn steam coal, being the largest cargo ever taken from the port. A yoang man named Yap was yesterday committed for trial by the Cardiff Magistrates charged with embez?ting moneys, the pro- perty of hia employe", the Impend Tea Company. In the London Bankruptcy Coort yesterday Lord Colin Campbell applied for a oertiUoate declaring that his bankruptcy was caused by nusfortone and without misconduct on his part, bt Mr. Registrar Uiffard refused, hold- ing that the bankruptcy was caused by Lord Colin's indiscretion. The effect of the deoiaion will be O preclude the bankrupt front "akkig his seat in THE Lords or Com- mOlll. The announcement of the death of Mr. Howel Gwyn yesterday drew forth general expressions of sorrow throughout Glamorgan- shire and Breoonshire particularly, and of South Wales generally. We give this morn- ing au extended biographical aketoh. It is reported that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Dr. Tanner, M.P., in England. Two men were run over by an engine at THF Tredegar Ironworks yesterday, and so seriously iujorrd that the worst results are feared. Yest,,rday the brilzaiitine'l'rvpbena,of North Shields, while moored off Woolwich Arsenal, in the River hames, was run into and sunk by the Donald Currie steamer Pembroke Castle. The crclv were saved. Mr. Thomas Milward "'Id Mr. T.J, Nettell, overseers of THE parish (.f Oysterrnouth, were yesterday fnvd JC1 by the Swansea mag-is- trates for not attending the audit of the acoounts. Yesterday whilst proceeding towards Coy- charch in a trap drawn by a restive horse Atr. and Mrs. Naunton Davies had a very narrow escape, as the horse, shying at an objeot in the road, kicked the trap to pieces. The occupants, however, escaped with but slight injuries. For violently attaoking the manager, a haulier employed at Mardy Colliery was yesterday sent to gaol for two months with hard labour. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office yesterday, Lord Salisbury presiding. In reply to the challenge of J. L. Sullivan, the American pugilist, in yesterday's Sports- man to tight Jem Smith, the English cham- pion, the backer of the latter telegraphed from Cardiff last night to say that Smith will fight Sullivan for any amount be may fix upon, providing a reasonable time be given him for training.

CAN IT BE THE SAME TREVELYAN? Blessed is the politician who has no past. Sir GEORGE TREVELYAN is twice unblessed. He has a past, but has no present that either he or any of his well-wishers can bo proud of. His speech at the meeting of the Separatist Caucus in Pembrokeshire yesterday proves one of two things either that be was an impudent Pharisee in 1883 or that he is a hlundering renegade now. Either he put forward principles in which he did not believe then or be is a traitor to those principles now. Under which category does Sir GEORGE wish himself placed ? It were hard to say which is the more humiliating or contemptible. To take only one point, The Crimes Act, which he denounced yesterday, he held up in his Hawick speech of February 9, 1883, as a measure which the nation ought to go upon its knees and thank Heaven for. The people of Ireland he divided into two partioj—the party of order and the party of disorder. The latter included the men who planned and executed the Dublin murders, the Galway murders, the Boycotting and firing into houses, the mutilation of cattle, and intimidation of every sort and kind throughout the island. THOSE are the men," he went on, who not long ago were masters of the rural districts and tyrants of the streets of Dublin." These were the people, this the country for which an exceptional measure of legislation was wanted. hen we came to Ireland," we were told, crime went unpunished because the juries belonged to a class who were easily intimidated. Since last A ugust, however, things passed into a different phase. Ihe Crimes Prevention Bill placed the duty of giving a verdict in the hands of men who were abo\'e I being intimidated. Verdicts were brought in Dubhn aainst the perpetrators of three horrible murders; and then began what I believe to be the greatest crisis that has occurred, time out of mind, in the history of Ireland. The party of disorder knew that if these sentences were carried out the keystone was knocked out of the system of terrorism. An unfounded charge was made against the jury. The Irish people heard day after day, in newspaper articles and on public plat- forms, that men were being done to death by a partisan judge and a drunken jury and the consequence which follows) from tbat sort of rhetoric in Ireland ensued at once, and the livei of a bravo and just magistrate a. i of honest and public-spirited private citizens were exposed to fearful dangers." Ne-tt-r 00.000 than 80,000 tenants have availed themselves of the advantage of the Ant." so said the Hawick speaker; "and, now that they are secure in their holdings, THE great mass of the tenant farmers of Ireland are desirous to live in peace and quietness. left to them- selves they would settle .»VU to industry like other people who have something to lose. But there are men who will not leave them to themselves. Last autumn an agitation began which promised at first to be legiti- mate, but a change in the nature of which the Government has watched with profound disappointment. What- ever the National League was intended by Mr. PARNELL to be-whatever ho himself, both at Dublin and at Cork, has tried to make tt- the Government was bound to inform itself as to what its character really is. And as to that. character there is no doubt whatever. MOS$of the earlier public: meetings of the National League were held for the purpose of conducting a tierce and undisguised agitation for three f)bjects- the destruction of landlordism, the breaking up of grazing farms, by terrorising thet larger tenants, and the separation of Great Britain and Ireland Where the country is still urisettled-where murder and intimidation were but lately the order of the day-it would be criminal to allow violent public meetings to be h«ld under the auspices of men whose object is to disturb the peace and levy blackmail on the fanners, l'he Government will not permit Ireland to be organised, and drilled, and excited for the purpose of enacting objects which would be Ireland's ruin if obtained, and which only could lie obtained by civil war." Head those words and read the WOKU of yesterday's speech, and tell us, MESSIEURS the Separatists, whether juur champion was a hypocrite then or is apostate now ?

Mr. FIELD will have iL that even present-day Cornish possesses some pretension to kinship with Cymraeg. The un," he tells UI, might fairly be classified with the Welsh particle J/n, bad it not been that there is no definite and fixed rule for its application, as in theoase of the latter but, undoubtedly, the time was when the prepositional TU and the predicative un were synonymous terms to their equivalents in Welsh. Bat a difference arises between the third form of the latter (used adverbially) I and the corresponding form in Cornish, as by I these it is almost invariably applied in the construction of interrogative seutenoes, e.g., Wheer are ee going, un West Country- men have also a modified form of several colloquial Welsh words, as, for insUnoe, llyncu, to swallow. Cornishmen, unable to overcome the difficulty of pronouncing the il, substitute the bard c for the initial 1, and thus they have the com- mon expression, 'I cudn' clunkey' (I couldn't swallow). They similarly treat braf ( A elsh, fine) when 'applied to the state of the weather, If asked their opinion of the atnnapherio conditions of a genial morning, you may count upon being answered, Braa- vish,' and that term is also used to express admiration of a well-formed and bealthv man or woman. And as the Welsh regularly put the noun in the singular which immediately follows the plural numerical adjective, so the Cornish closely adhere to this rule-viz., two ur three mile.' The emphatic demonstrations are indeed remarkable, as in this respect the lore of no other county in England so closely approaches that of Wales, 'surenuff' being Bullixed to every positive, and, as a matter of fact, to the generality of assertions; but there is no counterparttothe Welshddtmin negative sentences, the simple negative being repeated for the purpose of laying stress. There is also a tendency in ( ornwall to soften the radical consonants of some nouns, of which numerous specimens might be given but as +his middle form denotes neither gender nor pronominal connection, but merely idioms of certain districts, particularly in the extreme west and north-west—which were the last to relinquish their hold of old Corniiih- nothing relative in this respect can safely bo proposed. In the north of the county, as well as in the North of Devon, the people hold tenaoiously to a cor- ruption of the Welsh i chwi' (to you) the commonest provincialisms having tcky suffixed, as thicky,' 'clicky,' f vicl<y" &-c. Cornwall never oould, and, it is almost un- necessary to say, uever will, boast of a copious or,indced,any literature worth the mentioning. The remains consist almost entirely of a religious poem or two (of which the one catted" Mount Calvary" is the best known), two or three miracle plays or mysteries, a vocabulary at least three hundred years old, and a few minor pieces whose very titles are now forgotten. For purposes of comparison,Mr. FIELD prints the Lord's Prayer in Welsh and Cornish, but the former, not having been read in proof, very possihly is somewhat in- accurately given. With regard to the latter, all we would venture, as one who cannot lay claim to bo, any very great expert, to say is that it differs materially from both the newer and the older Cornish forms with which we are acquainted. liin Tad.yr hwn wyt yn y nefoedd," runs the correct Welsh, for which Mr. FIELD gives the Cornish equiva- lent. Yn Taz, ez yn ne an." Our old form has it: "An Taz, nyes yn nef," the newer being Agan Taz, leb ez en nev." Here is an example not given by Mr. FIELD, the theme being the well-known one, -1 Where are you going to, my pretty maid? Pele* era why moaz mot, fel.t0w teajf, Gen ajjaz bedgeth gwin, ha aifarblew mellyn?" Mi ft moaz tl1,"II venton, s.ii-ra wheag Jiag delkiow stvi gwra imizi teag."

Shall I go with you, fair mriid, to the wood. With y ,ur face ro*y-whiu« and your soft yellow hair?" '• bweet sir, it you please it will do my heart good, For strawberry leaves mllke the young maiden fair." According to Ilr. FIELD, the strong arm of the first of the English EDWARDS and the more humane, though hardly more civilising, iniluence of the Act of Uniformity between them laid the Cornish finally to rest, whether as a written or a spoken language. The Iev. FRANCIS HODlN- so, of Llandewednack, near Lizard Point, preached a Cornish sermon to his parishioners in 170S, just ten years after DOLLY I'ENTREATU'S death. But although Cornish, much more than either thu Manx or the Breton, is dead and practically buried, we are far from sharing the exultation of lr, DAVIES GILBERT, th" editor of "Mount Calvary,' jus?refftr?d to, over the departure of this curious old dialect.

I OUR LONDON LETTER. I fraOM ova spictAi. COMRKSPOWDAARRL LONDON, WKDPTKSOAT NIOST. It was a large and influential gathering which: assembled, on the Invitation of the London Chambtor of Commerce, at the Cannon-itreet Hotel this a."teriioon to hear Lord Brassey's address. His lordship had revised the description of his subject and now called It "Tbe Defence of the Empire and Protection of Trade." Newspaper readers are already acquainted with the noble lord's views on this Important subject. A vote of thanks to his lordship was seconded by the Duke of Cambridge In an eminently practical speech, enforcing the lesson that the wliole exis- tence of the Empire depends on the puwer to keep our mercantile transactions free from the danger of alarm. The concluding portion of the proceedings was marked by a hearty demonstration in honour of Lord Charles Beres- ford, who, modestly sitting in the body of the hall, was with some difficulty persuaded to say some- thing. What the noble lord said was to the effect th« he agreed with Lord Brasscy, and that ho had not left the Government because of any political difference. The Chairman of the Brighton Company has shattered the hopes entertained yesterday of a cessation of hostilities among the southern rail- ways. Addressing his company at the yearly meeting to-day, he declared that the proposal of the South- Eastern directors to refer the question of a truce to a committee of shareholders could not be accepted, becauee such a committee would, probably, only hear one side of the case." Mr. Laing's reason for the faith that is in him will, prcbably, receive a severe handling at the South- Eastern meeting to-morrow. Prince Bismarck's opinion on the European situation, as telegraplied from Berlin, does not carry with it much enlightenment for the per- plexed student of Continental politics. The great Chancellor is reported to have remarked, in answer to a question from a Hamburg merchant, that, according to all present appearances, war was scarcely to be dreaded for two or three years. For this present year, at least," pursued the Prince, correcting himself, "I think this may be pretty certainly assumed, but, then, I was of just the same opinion in 1870, and war came upon us all the same." Prince Bismarck seems to have treated the Hamburg merchant very much in the spirit displayed by Sir John FalstafI towards Simple when the latter inquired with regard to Anne Pnge whether it was his master's fortune to have her or no. 'Tis, Itis his fortune," answered the knight. What, sir e" asked Simple. "Tohave her—or no," was Sir John's reply. No notice need be taken of the rumour which comes from Ottawa, via Philadelphia, that Mr. Chamberlain will probably succeed Lord Lans- downe as Governor-General of Canada. The rieht hon. gentleman's ambitions do not lean in the dircction of such honours. He refused the First' Lordship of the Admiralty when offered to him by Mr. Gladstone in 1886 because the holding of such an office is out of harmony with his utilitarian Radicalism. Lord Lansdowne's successor will not be Mr Chamberlain, but Lord Stanley of Preston, as your readers were made aware through this column some weeks ago. The meeting of Metropolitan ratepayers held at St. James'a-hall to discuss the conduct of the Metropolitan lioard of Works was not a large one, but it nrrived unanimously at a very significant resolution That this meeting has lost all con- fidence in the Metropolitan Hoard of Works." Friends of that august body may be inclined to deride such an expression of distrust because it happens to have been uttered by but a small gnthering. That would be a great mistake, for the v ist majority of Londoners are convinced that Lord Maghrrainorne and his colleagues have a good deal to explain. Some of the things raid at I ho meeting in support of the abeve resolution and others were of a startling character. It was declared, for instance, that recent, scandals which have been brought to light, seriously reflecting on tho rectitude of the board, are 1;5 rolhing com- pared with revelations shortly to be made. And, by way oi foielaste, the chairman stntnd that in one alone out of several building transitions with which tie; b um! were concerned in Slmfteabury- avenue the ratepayers had been defrauded of something like 157,000. An ngitation has been ■•tin ted in lavou! of an inquiry by Royal Commis- ion into the proceedings of the Board of Works. If i In: members fed satisfied of their ability to co.ifot ) accusations like the foregoing, tliov will be well advised in challenging such an inquiry with. out delay. The nrw knight, Sir George Bnden-rowell, repre- sents the. Kirkd.ile Division of Liverpiol, and is one of tho most popular men in the House ot Commons. no is a "rpnt authority on Colonial matters, htving studied the affairs of n(-at-ly every possession on the spot, and his information is always readily placed at the servico of colleagues who may need assistance in bringing forward any Colonial topic. His peculiar knowledge his been frequently utilised by the Government btith abroad and at home, and it is no unusual thing to see Minister openly in consultation with him in the House when any sut ject relating to England beyond the seas is afloat. At the present moment Sir George is engaged, in conjunction with Sir G. 10", Bowen, in a local inquiry rendered necessary by the grant- ing of a new c. -litution to the Island of Malta. He was already aC.M.G., having been thus created in recognition of his services as oan of the two ltoyal Commissioners appointed in 1882 to inquire concerning the financial and administrative affair* of tho West Indies. The report of the Departmental Commission appointed in August last by the Lord President of the Council to inquire into the question of giving State support to agricultural and dairy schools has just been issued, and a very interesting document it is The Commissioners recognise that the lack in this country of sticli training as (for example) enables the Dines niid the Bretons to beat the British farmer out of his own butter mat ket has pr.iduced much loss to the inhabitants of the United Kingdon, nnd they express the opinion that a full remedy cannot be provided without help from t he State. Accordingly they recommend that a Central Normal School of Agriculture shall be established and maintained out of tho public t'und^, and that seven district dairy schools shall be at once started—one in eueh of the fivtJ ayricuhural protittetr districts of England, and two In Scotland. These art the main recommen- dations contained in the repott. The Commis- sioners further urge, however, that a system of ajjricuhui :il and dairy education should, as f'r at possible, bo gnfied upon existing educational machinery I lisit -in annual grant of £3,000 should be made in aid of ngricuituial research; and that travelling lecturers and demonstrators should be appoime 110 give instructions in dairy work. The Central Normal School mi',dit, it is thought, bo advantageously established at Uuyhy. Finally, the Commissioners are of opinion that their recommendations miyht bo carried into effect at a cost of £ 23,000 for the first year, and LIS,000 per year aftcrwnrds. I am sorry tn have to report that two bishops of the Church of Engird are prostrated by ill-heakh. Dr. Mnrkamess, ot Oxford, is confined to the Palace of C'uddesdon, and does not hope to be able to stir abroad for noice weeks. His lordship had arranged before indisposition attacked him to undertake a Confirmation through a great psrt of his diocese during the month of Pebruarv, but tie hns been com- pelled to give up the idea. Nevertheless, the candidates are not to be disappointed, for Dr- Mitchinspn, Assistant Bishop of Peterborough, has volunteered to take IIle place of his sick brother. The other rifcht rev. invalid is the Bishop of Truro, who is suffering from nervous depres- sion, brought on by unremitting devotion to tile duties of his see. Sir Andrew Clarke has prescribed for his lordship complete rest. An almost forgotten painter is re-called by the exhibition of miniatures now open at Mr. Joseph's gallery in New Bond-street. The collection Is representative of Richard Cos way, R.A., who was a person of no small importance in his day, Born l in 1731, of humble Devonshire parents, he deve- loped a genius for portrait-painting which, without the aid of any study worth mentioning, brought him the patronage of the highest in the land, and secured for Iii," a comfortable fortune. He was at the summit of his prosperity in the days of iiie Prince Regent, and it was said by soma of his rivals that success drove him into a gottoftilotdiiessofvoinity, No doubt, Cos way was somewhat eccentric, but he was, at the seme time, a great artist, as the-e miniatures show, albeit somewlwt too much given to the use of pale tints, Connoisseurs have been heard to say that his work Is equal to the best that ever came from under the brush of Sir Joehua. 1 am disposed to agree, Corway died at the ago of 90.

SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE LIBERAL FEDERATION. MEETING AT PEMBROKE DOCK. [SPEECH BY Slit G. TREVELYAN. RESOLUTIONS ON DISESTABLISH- MENT, LOCAL OPTION, AND LAND REFORM. The first annual meeting of the council of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Liberal Fedem- tion was held on Wednesday in the Temperance- hall, Pembroke Dock, when there was a conside- rable attendnace of delegates. MORNING MEETING. I At the morning meeting Mr. Isaac Smedley, J P., presided, and amongst those with him on the plat- form were Mr. A. Thomas, M.P., Mr. A. J. Williams, M.P., Mr. W. Abraham, M.P. <" Mabon"), Mr. Lewis Morris (the selected Gladstonian can- didate for tho Pembroke Boroughs), Mr. Hall (Cardiff), &c. Mr. It N. HALL (secretary to the Federation) rezid the minutes of council meetings, in the course of which there appeared a recommendation to approve oil the conduct of those declining to pay tithes in full, the reading of this clause being re ceived with cheers. On the motion of the Her. AARON DAvres (Pont- lottyn), seconded by Mr. THOMAS WILLIAMS, J.P. (Merthyr), chairman of the executive, tho minutes were confirmed. Letters of apology were then read. OPINIONS OF ABSJI!NT JIl,P:. &C, Mr. Henry Richard, M.P, wrote that he was unable to attend, as he was still under medical advice, and obliged to avoid excitement and fatigue. It would have been a special pleasure to him to join his countrymen in welcoming Sir Georga Trevelyan to South Wales. He had ren- dered manifold services to the Liberal cause, which he (Mr. Richard) sometimes thought had not been adequately recognised. Welshmen were particularly indebted to Sir George for the clear and ringing tones in which he had spoken upon the eubject which was so near to their hearts—he referred to Disestablishment. They had every reason to take courage and gird their loins for the con- flict, which before long must i-sue in victory. From all points of the horizon there were gathering si^ns.'that the tirne-t he set time—was nearing when the question of Disestablishment must be dealt with. Mr. Richard contended that whatever they might think cf Home Rule for Wale, for the present their only chance of effecting deliverance from what they felt to be an injustice and an indignity, was by winning over the Liberal party in England to a hearty co-operation with them. They must, therefore, lose no opportunity of awakening t he sympathy of English constituencies. Sir E. J. Reed, M.P., wrote that he was unable to attend through gout and ague, but if at a future timp his old friends at Pembroke would like to hear him, he held out the hope of n visit. Mr. Dillwyn, M.P., regretted that a long-stand- ing engagement prevented him from being present and expressed his warm interest in the organisa- tion. Sir Walter Foster, M.P wrote similarly. Mr. Schnadhorst, after expressing his interest in the Federation, wrote that the remarkable enthusiasm with which tho cause of Welsh Dis- establishment was aeceptcd and incorporated as a definite plank in the platform of the Liberal party and the great meetings held at Nottingham would, he trusted, convey to the people of Wales the assurance that other questions in which they were deeply interested would meet with a generous response from the people of England. He congratulated the Federation upon having" secured the presence of Sir George Trevelyan; no one was more entitled to the cordial confidence of every lover of justice and freedom. Other letters were read from Mr. E. J. Kenwin (Newport), Alderman Watren, Mr. Wm. Sanders (Cardiff), &o. CHAmMANS ADDRESS. The CKAIUMAN, in opening the business of the council, reviewed Iho morning's programme, and, speaking on bct?tf of tho Liberal pany—he regretted he could not say altogether a uni'ed party—he offered a cordial welcome to the dele- gates. EXTENSION OF THF. FRANCHISE AND WOMEN SUFFHAO K. Mr. i. M. r.VAN'S (vice-president of the Neath: Liberal Club) then moved the first resolution, whioh was as follows:— Ili at, in orqer to complete the representative character of the House of l.'ommons, and to give full effect t,) the will of the people, this council declares it to be of I lie first importance hat. the franchise should be based solely oil the principle of U one man, one vote," and that the law, <>f rel(i.tra'j'lfl .houl,! be so reformed as to aisist every dnly-qnalitied citizen in securing hi. electoral riylits. In the course of his remaiks, Mr. Evans antici- pated a speedy reform of the electoral s ystem, and siigsested, with regard to registration, thai the period of occupation might be shortened with advantage from twelvo to six, or even three months. (Applause.) NOr. JONAs TRAYt,Ptt (vici,.pi-eqiclent of the Pem- br, ke Liberal Association) seconded the proposi- tion. Mr. ALFBKP THOMAS, M.P., in supporting the resolution, rearet'^d the ub'ence of Mr. Wm. Sanders, of Cardiff, thai whom there were few who had more experienco in reeistration matters. Speaking to tho ,>OIIIti0n, Mr, Thomas could not see hy they should nnt go further, and go in for It1l1nhood u Ifra,e nt once. (Applause.) The object at present seemed to be to make registra- tion as dillieult n.s possible. There should be officers appointed whos-' duty it was to see that men entitled to a vote, had the privilege and right extended to them lie would be very glad, indeed, if a scheme c-uld be prepared dealing with re|(is- trlltion, which could belaid before the Federation and afterwards brought before Parliament. Certainly, something should bo done to clear awav all those obstacles belonging to the time fast disappearing 1-01,1 relics of fudali"m. 'There might be "01116 little difficulty in dealing with the registration question. In Amedca he electors were to vote early "IPi oil en, 'They did not want that in this But these thii.gs were matters of (iet¡il, wllkh could be dealt with when the time c ime. Ile, however, would like an amendment to b- proposed in favour of manhood suffrage. Such v-ouid 1,le1. with his support. Mr. VV. Iti-ps Daviks (Haverfordwest) agreed with the last speaker. Mr. IVITT moved an amendment which would alter the icsolulion, replacing one-man-one-voto" j by manhood it Mr. A. WILLIAMS, M.P., Imrdly thought it neces- sary to press the amendment. He had always understood tti -tit-o no- vote" meant adult suffrage. But he would be untrue to the convic- tions of a lifetime if he did not propose an amend- ment for granting female suffrage. (Applause.)] The intelligence of women, their higher instincts, their domestic affections, fitted them for duties it was only becoming they should take upon them- selves. If women were pi iced upon the r'gisterthei o would be a revoluiion with reference to ",ar, and there would be an enormous change for ihe better in the management of public educational institu- tions It was nil nonsense to say that thfre w is any Conservative instinct in women, though there might be with reg ird to a limited class. He pro- posed an amendment in accord with his icmaiks. Mi-. HALL (Llanelly) seconded. In reply to a question as to what was meant by the amendment — wive all women to have a vote, Mr. A. WILLIAMS, M.P said his opinion was th it women should bo placed on exactly the same terms men. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then put the original resolution in its first form, which was carried unimimouf-ly. Mr. A. WILLIAMS, M.P., followed this by pro- posing.-— That the Parliamentary fmncliise be conferred upon women householders, Mr. HAI.L (L'anudy) Mr. I-.VANS (Neath) suggested that there was no need lo hurry in this question. It would bo better to postpone any resolution of that Mnd until another meeting of the Federation. (Heat, heat.) It was not in that day's programme at. all, nnd it W;t,4 riot ai,(,elilleti as a plank in the Liberal plat- form. (He«r, heir.) Mr. A. WILLIAMS, M.P.. wa-j quite willing to with tra%v the resolution. All ho wanted to do was to let them know personally wlirt lii-i opinions were. THP: HAOICAL PKOOIUHMR. In the absence of Mr, Hamsd de, of Cardiff, Mr, MACLKAN (Carmarthen) moved That it. be a speei.il hitim-itlon to the Executive Com- mittee to carefully watch slid aid the progress of all met-uret tpn.Jiiii( to promote the m.,ral arid niaterial welfare of tha Ub-juriou oUsset of Wales. Mr, RAMSDALK arrived in lime to second the pro- position. and excused himself for m iliiiig a speech as "that terror to thl] Woffln Aftiil and Mr. Lascelles Cllrr, Joseph Henry Jones, would shortly address the conference." The mo*t rcmai kot)fi- thing said hy Mr. Rainsdalo in the course of his speech was I hat politici ins, likli pump liin lies, were innured lo tips "nd downs"—a subject upon which Mr. Rumsdale was most competent to xpeak. Mr. W. ABRAHAM (" Mabon "), M.P, said there were three great, natioml questions the working men of the country were desirous of seeing :f..cÏf FIII ;rbi'bli: and Disen- dowment of the English Church in Walep, a large and comprehensive measure of Intermediate Edu- cation, and a radical reform of the Land Laws. But, speaking as a direct repro«entative of working men, there were a few other questions they con- sidered essentially necessary to the amelioration of the condition of tha masses. First of these there was an Employers' Liability Act Amendment Hill, an Increase in factory and colliery inspectors- preference to be given to men who speak Wel.h-: Bill for the rrenntion and ln»* of lifo at ea, and an extension of Ih: Employers' Liability Act to venineri a Bill for the better regulation of railways and for 111,. protec- tion of lives and lessening accidents on rati ways; a Hill for making the possession of a certificate 01 competency compulsory in the case of engine-men on land. as was now the ca-P of engine-men at sea; and a Weekly Payment of Wages bill—(applause)— io ordsr to give working men the lull benefit of the wages they earned, instead of their being kept back for four, Ave, and on to thirteen or fourteen weeks without Interest, while the men had to go cap In hand to slwpkeepers for credit- Then there must be a rni.ion of royalty renta. (4 iw and labour could not be employed witfout the consent of the landlord,who took a sleeping reat and royalty. In South Wales this averaged 8d. I per ton, which meant over £ 60<J,000 annually. It Uiev multiplied that by ten years thev had £6,600,000 paid for the employ'ment of Ibour. And what for ? Thioi Ud. a (on meani a difference of 5 per cent. off the earring s, and to the employers it oftentimes decided the question of shutt Inl: up or keeping open Uif-ir collit-ries. In the Khondda Valley three large collieries were closed—two entirely, and the third not etnploj ing more than one quarter of what it used to, all t>ecause of the effects of this roYAlt" system. Then he went on to include in his programme abolition ut all property qualification in local government; to restore to the labourer the rents; to free industries to hand over national and otlmr endowments to the service of the poor, and mfire FreP TrAde. (Applause.) The resolution was then put aod carried unani- I mously. LN'TKKMBDIATB KDUCATION. Mr. SOWLKT JOHNSTONK then moved That tiis council excesses iu opinion thAt th*i pass ing of an Intermediate Education Act lor Wales n,i Moomoatbahtre Is ImpMa.h" f"r the wellaru cf 'I", country. It gratefully acloiowledjje» Mr. Mun<lella's I labourson bch^.fof Welsh education Jurlng the lait, as pre, ,s sessions, d hopf-s that 1 Parlls- ;IIIU; e;r'r'n('11 hrS:a,sr;;i'; ..duUvn will gi%e Mr. Mondella (dvery .In"nct' hi p-,I,.g such a measure be ut.L-1? to the "d, and condi tIons of the Princi?litv. Mr. HUMPHRIES OW. in seconding, thought thtre .hould be a University for W,¡J, ?nd advised the F"er.ti-u to r,ject a Bill dealing with the subject emanating from the Tories, and trust to Mr. Mundella. Mr. LKWIS MORRIS, in supporting, thought it was a shame Welshmen had to go to London for degrees; they should have a degree conferring University for tho Princi- pality. When the Education Commission sat there were only 50 young men at Abcryatw-ith and 50 at Lampeter—a denominational, though 8 good. College. Now there were 160 at Lampeter, 145 at Aberystwith, 150 or 160 at Cardiff, and over 100 at Bangor, surely a sulhci'-nt body to com- mence a degree-conferring University. Then they tlh"uld I,vo" Hchool of.ttlcdicll1. f'lr III ¡'linbUlg¡' he found a very large number of Welsh students who had thus so far to BO for their education. In conclusion, bir. Lewis Morris spoke in favour of Free Education. The resolution having been passed, the con- ference adjourned for luncheon. THE AFTERNOON CONFERENCE. I Mr. William Howell, solicitor, Llanellv, presided at the afternoon meeting, being supported by Lord Kensington, Sir George Trevelyan, M.P., Sir Ilussey Viviiyi, M.P., Mr. Stuart liendel, M.P.. Mr. A. j. Williams, M,P., Mr. W. Abraham, M.P., &c. TilE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. In his Opening address, the CHAIRMAN said at no pei xl in the history of the Liberal party had there been a greater necessity for organisation than nt present. It might be asked what had the Federation done during the first year. To show what it lad ,h"e and what force it possessed, lot thell) look to the conference at Nottingham, where they had sent a deputation, and now the Disestablishment question had b-»en. adopted by the Liberal party FKDEIUTIOS BUSINESS. The report of ttio Executive Cottimitte- and the lion, treasurer's financial statement, were passed, on the motion of Mr. S. EVANS (Neath), seconded by Mr. HCTOH KEVAV (Bridgend). The latter, in the course of his remarks, said t he undav Cloning Act had bceu a great and gloiious success—a success which only required the abolition of the three-milo clause and bogus clubs and the closing of all other clubs yn the Sunday. THE OFFTCKRS. The "meers were then elected as follows: -Pro-,i. d'-nt: Mr. Dillwyn, M.P. ice-piesiden's: Glamor- ganshire, Mr. Thomas Williams, J.P., Merthyr Car- diganshire, Mr. H. C.

ABRL JONES PARHT I1I(Jv..d:- I social and n'Ii¡q118 lile In Wales and Menm iuthshire That this council, profoundly convinced that th grieve iisly suffers (nun 1 he continuance of reiigiim in equality, and that a just and p"acdul 9'H i leinent of he 'tithe question can only be B"Clmd bv the nationidisa- t ion, .P?,,? tc-ring. of the tithe-rent charge and it' ;r "I iq ;t ;c p'¡: :,I ;r;r;:o: 'J'II P"IPOS?l,. expresses ils cordial satisfaction at (he d-Clara- I fiff,'i'¡:i:i )srri:lh:I:I'r"tt,P I;¡ Lil'ernl Federation, I heir meeting a, Nottingham, that t Disestablishment, of the English Church in Wales should have an lmmi dlate place among the active objects ol the Liberal party.

"ext 10 Ih settlement of tha Irish question, t he ti"' object of the Libenil In the course of his speech tho rev. gentleman quoiej from a Carmarthen paper a statement that for I lie lust forty years Wales had become moie snd more dishonest, and contended that this was a proof that the Church had failed. If Wales, as had beeu said, was hypocritical, dishonest, and un. truthful, it be so of the di«honist and IIn. truthtul tactics employed by the clergy to further Church interests and to corrupt 11111 people by bribery, as witness that, ever memoiable t»unday. There was not a nioro unpitri>tic class than the clergy of the Church of England, who set mod to gloat in thewoikof misrepresent- ing and nUIIRillg their fellow-countiymen. l-.vevv rank and every grade in that Church sei-med to be utterly devoid of any national feeling or patriotic sympathy. Professor (JOWAUD (Tenby), seconded, saying esubhshuo nt was the root of all kind of evil, i An Ft;lblís:,e,1 Church wa th,j mos: sectarian Rnd exclusive, its in W^lcs, and itq were almost sure 10 bu petty persecutors, Boycottuis, and oppn-ssors. Sir GrORGE TBSTKLTAV, who was received with prolonged cheers, said it was tho business of that meeting to set, about freeing Wales from her out- standing, her indefensible grievances, and, in order to secure that end. to return 22 Liberals for South Wales at the next election. (Cheers) The Liberal party worn fighting in self-defence, if ever a parly was. A quarrel over a single great question, in which, whoever was right at first, undoub'cdiy til) great bulk of the Liberal party was now right, had been turned with extreme skill into a crusade for the extermination of Liboral principles and the Liberal parly. (Cheers.) Lord Salisbury felt that the time had come whcn he coul l show his ham' and lie had spoken at Liverpool in these words — feel that, ill Sleeking to a LiI..rp"1 m.di ".re 1 am 8,akill to those who have held to Conservative priu- ciples through evil report ural good report, and II) tlwk who will sympathise Willi what I believe I" be th" auspie.ious and probably the triumphant, future of the opinion* we maintain and the party to which we belong. I Tht was how Lord Salisbury put it. Tht was how he d..críbe:l tho c;?u-c for which h" and L"rd Cross and Lord Cranbrook and L-nd Hartingion and Lord Northbrook and II Ie Duko of Argyll, and ilher Liberal nmii»s ihicli hd would not mention,because it gave him i- iin.wvre fighting shoulder t,) shoulder; and in so describing it Lord Salisbury was right. It was for the triumph "f Conservatism "nd the life blood of Liberalism that. the Dissentient Liberals and ihe C m-ervatives were lighting nido l.v side with extreme energy. (Cheers.) He (Sir George v, ly-in) read ahe other ol.tv that, Lord If rlirig- fon w is going lo alt-nd a Liberal t"ni0n 'U(ktll1ll in Suffolk, and 111t ill all Ihe five (ii,i-i ?

(Cheers.) It w is all very well for | tbe Liberal Unioni-ds t" say ?t,,t t hcy supported the Government policy in fr,l;t i, thai that wac the only point ,n which thev ,ei-e not 1/11l1' "it" the Cotigei vat ives. But when thev give their vote forn Tory they had to take hi." and 111'1 opinions together; alld in Votirg I'll- 111, lories the Unionists won voting for "e immense abuse of the E«tiblisii»d Chinch if I Wales, in favour of an unrefoniied H-use of L0rol.. in whicl, (1,1'1'1' did not sit one repn-snir.->tivo "f lie vast body of Irishmen, aud in hvour of Itavingilie 1lIO[1CJli, or this country in the care of a corpora lion which was foili of nil the ibus s of an unin- formed corpmaiion of a century a-o. Th- v were voting for having the liquor interests uncontrolled by the |ieople, and of removing from our Elemen- tary Education system everything that was lair and unsectarian and progres-ive. {( beers.) If they did not want to see l,ord Salisbury's prophecy fulfi'led they must t),, uo and doing, ,.n,1 for his own part lie could conceive no highei privilege than 10 be one of those who h'\ th* opporiunity of otriki?z blow fnr Ihe oi l muse in it* hour ,I need. (Cheers ) The Irish p(?liev of t he v. n" nieiit had a positive and a negative side. The negative was tint Ireland WRR to t),3 reiused, not only legislative and minimis1 rative ►elf-gov.-rn- tnent, but file local self-govei nment which was 10 bit given to the rest of Ihe United Kingdom while the positive fitte was that tlw Government had demanded from P'HiI>llJ1nl statutory power to put its prisun with hard labour, as often a« they liked, any pnlilician or any press wrher of the popular pnitv in Ireland. H" (the speaker) k"w that certain \.i¡¡h.Oyin¡r law>*i* Were saying and writing that ihe Coercion Bill did la it cer.te anv crime, but ihey might argue nil they wcieblack in the face, and yet they would not convince sinv plain man against the plain fact that ff1(:lnoers rf the National League could lie pum-hed under this Bill for bel -nging to the Na'iorai League and could not be so punished kwluie this Bill was passed. (Cheers.) And now they had arrested an Irishman ff.r a political offence on the soil of Britain—that soil which pa?o protection to a man ,,f y r,ti,?n 1, itic,l ,nl was an inviolable n.ylum to any man except an Irishman. (" Shame.") Sir Michael Hicks- Beicli made a speech the other day in favour of generous concession to Ireland in the matter of local management of Iri-h affairs. He okid, and I it was a most remarkable expr -ssion -.— Bv some m.aos or other Parliament must l1al with Irish wauls in the .ay lti.hrn..n themselves <1rllr. and Englishmen Lakinø counsel about i,el.nd mutt rtiitst their uiinds o( English I"JIIIIQU and t" to I look at Irish affairs with lnsti eyes 'nll speech male a j'reit serration, for all Sir Michael Hicks-Beac h'a declarations about governing Ireland according to Irish ideas were absolutely tnc'xnp?xbia with u"1 manner in Whldl the preow ?t Mlni"ry ..re <:OTtrntn?thtt country, and, its ptte of bis wishes, his speech was as smashing a conJemn". tion 01 thvir policy as any uttered by Mr John Morley or Sir Wm. Harcourt. (Cheer.) The! policy of the Government Was a policy that was leading Irishmen from bad to worov, Rnfi to which Wales had been from the very first, was still, and would be to the end, aboolutoiv. diametrically, end all but unani- mously opposed.

With regard to whether it was "'Tunt( to England, they had uo quarrel with the Chuicb, but with the Ei.tubhshuioiit.
