THE SKVENTH SESSION. Already we have fairly commenced the last ohaptt-r of the present Parliament, for, although the seventh session will not be formally opened till noon to-day, the various preliminary gatherings and tbe forecast of the QUKBN'S Speech have plunged us into the final struggle before the dissolution. Not that this dissolution will be sprung upon us. Barring accidents, the Goverament will insist upon going through the programme of work whioh they have set themselves to oomplete. It is scaroely to be expected that the session which opens to day will be characterised with so much legislative aolivily as some of those which have gone before, but if Ministers succeed in fulfilling the promises they have made, the Unionist Government of 1886-181:12 will go to the country with an unexampled record. Our opponents are loth to see the strongest Government of modern times in- creasing their credit, and, despite the half- hearted statements of I :adwal leaders that there will be no active opposition, we may be certain that no cbancn will be lost to hamper and make difficult the way of Ministers. An attempt it to be made, it is said, to compel the Government to fix a date for the dissolution. Of oourse, such a demand will not receive a moment's consideration, and not even Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT, fighting leader though he be, is likely to take upon himself the task of heckling Mr. BALFOUR on a matter which mainly rests with the Crown. There is, however, a tacit understanding that the Government will wind up in the course of the present year. At all events, they are exceedingly unlikely to sit on into the session of 1893, as suoh a course, if not actually unconstitutional, would be altogether unusual. It must be borne in mind tbat the Septennial Act practically ordained that there should be a Parliament every seventh year, if not oftener, which is a different thing from a seven-year-old Parliament. The three longest Parliaments during the last four reigns have lasted six years, one month, and ten days; six years, one month, and six days; and sx years and twenty days. Should the present Parliament last till August 8,1893, the Government will have been in office exactly six years, and, should ih e dissolution be fixed for the early autumn, the present Parliament will have been the lengthiest since the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ire- land was accomplished. History will probably place it amongst the most successful, if not actually the most successful, of the four and twenty Parliaments which have been assembled and dissolved since that date. As to the business of the session which begins to-day, it is, perhaps, rather improper to to-day, till the QUEEN'S Speech has been speak delivered to Her MAJESTY'S faithful Lords and Commons. It. is, however, permissible to say that there is a striking sintilarity between the forecasts of the QuEEN s speech and the drift of the two speeches recently delivered by the PBIME MINISTER. Ireland is to be given local government and tree education, and agricultural labourers are po be given facilities for obtaining small holdings. There are other Bills 11 in the second line" which the Government will endeavour to pass into law —among them the Clergy Discipline Bill, which was smothered last session by the action of Welsh Radical members of the Mr. S. T. EVANS type. So much for promised. legislation. On foreign affairs we prefer to remain ileiit till we have the precise terms of the QUEEN'S Speeoh before us. One of yesterday's events, however, deserves attention, because it is one which affects the prospects of the Government during the coming Session. Our Radical friends had fondly hoped that the removal of the Marquess of H ARTINGTON to the House of I Ords, and, consequently, his resigna- tion of the leadership of the Liberal Unionists, would take away from that party the one cohesive power which kept it together. Yes- terday's meeting of Liberal Unionists is cal- culated to dispel that illusion. Mr. ('HAMBERLAIN was elected leader with a unani- mity which is discomforting to the Radioals. Extremists and moderates agreed in supporting the right hon. member for West Birmingham. We do not anticipate much danger from the new leader's attitude towards the disestablish- ment party. Whilst thoroughly at one with the rest of the Unionists upon the immediate and predominant question of preserving the integrity of the mpire, Mr. CHAMBRBLAIU said he would not surrender his own opinion upon any other question of reform concerning which his views were well known and had been made public. We may feel assured, however, that Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, who has already sacrificed so muohto retain the union between England and Ireland, will not do anything calculated to seriously imperil that unity.

An act on the part of a sea oaptain which was rather severely condemned by the publio of Swansea twelve months ago oame before the justices yesterday for judioial considera- tion. The owners of the Port Stanley, one of the largest vessels afloat, have cause to re- member with aome degree of acerbity the visit made by that vessel to Swansea in January of last year. The vessel had scarcely got to the Mumbles on her outward A>yage to San Frannisco when thirteen of her crew refused to turn to, and made various complaints against the ship, which was obliged to return, and was delayed a couple of days whilst the offenders were being tried and a new crew obtained. Every man of them refused to pay their fines, and became martyrs to the cause of the seamen" by going to gaol for fourteen day. When they came out they awoke to the painful fact that the master bad taken all their effects with him on board the Port Stanley. The Union immediately took the matter up and put the law in motion. An aotion is pending for recovery of the value of the missing effeots, but yesterday's pro- ceedings in the police-oourt were for the im- position of penalties provided by the Merchant Shipping Act in suoh oases. The Penarth justices not long since imposed iuoh penalties on the master of a vessel, and their deoision was supported on appeal by the Swansea stipendiary, who is sitting in petty sessions on the present case. The case is an interesting one, for, on the one hand, it is contended that a oaptain, not content with lending his rebellious crew to gaol, vented his spleeu upon them further by taking away their property, whilst on the other hand, of oourse, the attempt h to show that the detention was not wilful, and that the oaptain is not liable to any penalty under the circumstauoes. The provisions of the Merohant Shipping Act for the protection of the interests of seamen are, of course, of the greatest importance and value, and it is no wonder that the Seamees Union are pushing the case on. The stipendiary has already described the oaptain's action as hard and nnsympathetio, and it is probable that he will during the adjournment have to make fair and proper compensation to the men be has injured.

rr. STRAD is a courageous man, but he quailed at the Park-hall last night. He was afraid to tell his Radical and teetotal friends that Sunday Closing had converted Cardiff into a town so drunken that it is a by-word in the mouths of min. Of the existenoe of fifteen hundred shebeens in our midst Mr. 8TEAD seemed well aware, and he inferentially admitted that, while this was the case, it was an unanswerable argument against the extension of Sunday Closing to England. He affects to believe that the establishment of a Civio Church, to deal with brothels and shebeens and other social developments in tbe same manner as the town coonoil deals with rates, gas, and sewers, is the all-powerful remedy for these deplorable evils. Mr. STRAD was ever a sanguine man, but it would be far better if he dealt with these things on that common sense prinoiple of which he spoke so much at his Cardiff con- ference. The drunkenness which he deplored, and which we all deplore, could be very easily reduced if the Governments of our land oould only be induced to deal with the question on a common sense p, inoiple." Families bave been forced to drink at home because they are not allowed to quench their thirstat properly- regulated houses during regulation hours, and drunkenness ib increasing beoause drink is sold and oonsuned at places which the police cannot enter without a warrant. Per- haps Mr. STEAD hopes to go to the root of tbe matter by getting his "Civio Church to remove the universal thirst. Then, good luck to him; but he can scarcely know Wales if he hopes to start a movement which is to include ail the religions denominations. Why, not even the iNonoonformists themselves can agree, and if Mr. STEAD is eager to know how much true brotherhood exists between the sects, let him seek out the in- superable difficulties of transference from the Baptist to another cause.

We pnblhh elsewhere a letterlrom Mr. w.¡ K HELM, organising secretary for Cbureb Pefanee in Wales, in reference to a challenge alleged to have been given at Pontypridd to debate tbe whoie question of dis- establishment and disendowment. During the past week an allegation has been made that Mr. HELM was endeavour- ing to shirk the quelltion-a wholly un- warrantable assumption, which seems to have been made from a fear that the valiant defender of the Church would insist on carry- ing out the terms of his ohallenge, as he assuredly will if it is seriously accepted. The Pontypridd Liberationists seek to make terms with Mr. HELM to debate the question with anyone they may afterwards like to oroduoe- a preposterous proposition. Let them bring forward their man, if they have one, so that Mr. HELM may know with whom be is treating. As a busy man, Mr. HELM naturally and wisely declines to debate the question with local small fry," but challenges the enemies of the Church to produce their strongest champion, and he will meet him. Nothing could be plainer and more straightforward than this, and, if the Pontypridd Libera- tionists are in earnest, they will not turn the cat in the pan any more.

LONDON LETTER. irsom Own LONDON CORERSPORDEN". I I. LONDON, MONDAT. PBOOBAMHS or BUSINESS. From what I know of the programme of business for the session, it is more than likely that the Queen's Speeoh to-morrow will be of a more than usually hum-drum character. The four principal Bills which the Government intend to pass are the Irish Local Government Bill, the Small Holdings Bill, the Irish Free Education Bill, and the Private Bill for Scotland and Ireland. There is now little doubt that the Irish Looal Government Bill will be passed. The opposition to it, I mean, will not be of such a charaoter as to necessitate its withdrawal. The Irish Education Bill, which threatened to be the rook ahead, is also likely to have an unexpectedly smooth passage, I understand both parties in Ireland-ostbolies and Protestants—are agreed to accept the Bill. We may expeot the House joyfully to sanc- tion so rare a unanimity. SBCONDABT BILUI. Mention will, no doubt, be made in the Queen's Speech of the four principal Bills in the order I have named them, and mention will, I should think, also be made of the Clergy Discipline, Employers' Liability, Law of Evidence, and District Councils Bills, which will form the Government's second line. Thittisto say, Ministers will endeavour to pass all or some of these latter four hills, but they will make them aecondary to tbe four principal measures. To the general public the most interesting paragraph in the Speech will be the one referring to the death of the Duke of Clarence. CONDOLENCE WITH THE ROTAL FAMIIT. The oondolenoe with her Majesty on the death of her grandson will not form a separate Add, ess, bat will be a paragraph added to the Address in reply to the Speech. The Address, as it did last year, will consist of a brief para- graph, probably in one sentence, merely acknowledging the Speech. This is done to obviate discussion. The Opposition will, however, occupy some time in debating the questions of dissolution and of the evaouation of Egypt. On neither of these subjects is the (lovernment prepared to give assurance other than that they will dissolve Parliament when, in their judgment, the proper time has arrived to do so. LEADERSHIP or THE LIBERAL UNIONISTS. As I foretold, the election of Mr. Cham- berlain to the leadership of the Liberal Unionist& in the House of Commons was formal and unanimous to-day. Special significance was, however, attached to if by tbe fact that the election was proposed b; two Whiga-Sir Henry James and Mr. Henesge. The significance of this is to show that the moderate Liberals are quite at one with the sturdy Radicals of the Unionist left wing. The Opposition, who had been nurturing wild hopes of all sorts of impossible motions, are saaat heart that the unity of the Ullionista should have been shown as conclusively All it was in the joyful unanimity that charac- terised to-day's proceedings. WELSH M.P.'S AND THE SESSION. The Welsh members of Parliament ought to put in a fairly good appearance to-morrow. A good number of tbe "party" are already, to my knowledge, in town. Sir Hussey Vivian has just arrived from Swansea. Mr. Bowen Rowlands is in town, aud, though not over robust, will, no doubt, put in an appearanoe. Mr. Abel Thomas, who now lives in Earl's Court, is here. I saw Mr. Dillwyn, looking bent, but far from broke, in Piccadilly a few days ago. Sir E. J. Heed has recovered from the influenza, and "ill pro- bably be at the House as early as most of his colleagues. Bfr. S. T. Kvans ought, also, to be on the spot, as he has been" assisting" Sir Charles Russell in the courts lately as junior counsel. Admiral Mayne and >ir John Puleston are both in town. But I have not had the pleasure of seeing the familiar face of Sir George Elliot here during the latter portion of the recess. THE Naw RBCOBDEB or LONDON. The City of London is to be congratulated on having obtained so exceptionally able a man as Sir Charles Hall for recorder. There never was a doubt about hit4 selection if he was himself willing, and the election was practically unanimous. Sir Charles is 49 years of age. Mr. Forest Fulton, who would have had the post in the event of Sir Charles decliniug, is three years younger. Sir Charles is able to retain his seat in Parliament, but will not have to seek re-election, as the office is not beld from the Crown, but from the corporation. hflt. STRAD's ANazLic MissioN. I see Mr. Stead is of opinion that Sir Charles Dilke will not, after all, go to the poll in the division of Gloucestershire represented by Mr. Samuelson, who, by the way, has real cause for feeling disgusted at the way he has been treated in the matter. Well, if my information on this subjeot is anything like correct, Mr. Stead is entirely wrong in this belief. He has made up his mind, he says, to oppose Sir Charles, should he stand, with might and main until and on- less the Chelsea baronet comes and kneels down and confesses his sins. He is going to at and at the political entrance of Dean Forest with a flaming sword of righteousness to guard the constituency, as the angel is recorded to have guarded the Garden of Eden against Adam and Ive. This is too sickening. The idea of Mr. Stead, or any other person, assuming such a divine mission is making the gorges of reasonable people rise, and I have it on the best authority that the result of suoh aotion on the part of Mr. Stead will be the withdrawal of strong opposition from other quarters. MINISTERIAL CHANGES. I When Parliament meets to-morrow the full import of the Ministerial changes will dawn opon members. It will be seen that, although only two vacancies have been created during the recess, the filling up of thoae two plaoes necessitated no less than six ohanges. Thus, when Mr. Balfour succeeded the late Mr. William Henry Smith, Mr. Jackson succeeded Mr. Balfour at the Irish Office. Sir John Gorst followed Mr. Jackson into the Treasury, and Mr. Curzon was taken from the outside men to fill the vacancy at the India Office. Muoh simplier was the process when Mr. Raikes died. Sir James Fergasson suooeeded him at the Post Office, and Mr. J. W. Lowther, withoilt furtherado, took up the vacant Under- Searetarysbip-the prized post nearest the chief whioh Sir James had filled with conspicuous courage and devotion during the previous four years. The Government benobes will show a new leader, a new member of the Cabinet, and three new faces, for Mr. Graham Murray will now be Scotch Solicitor-General. Lord Lewisham will be missed as one of the Whips, and it ia yet to be seen whether Lord Burgbley will re-place him in that daty. OUDSTONUN SPLITS. I The feeble tenure by which Gladstonian unity exits is shown by the numerous indica- tions of split that are afforded in the consti- tuencies. Recently I quoted Bradford as an example of the way in which the labour party were tearing up Gladstonian unity. Since then I have learned that altogether about 70 labour oandidates are prepared to take the field quite independent of whether they clash with Gladstonians or not. Of oonrse, all that will be settled before the polling day. It is the ultimate fate of the labour party to be squared when it oonfltots with Gladstonian interests. Mr. Schnadhorst will probably toss the labour men two or three seats as he would toss bones to hungry dogs, and, for the time being, they will be pacified. A more serious aspect is borne by the deliberate splits between rival Gladstonians. I mean such a case as that of the Carmarthen Boroughs, where Mr. Lewis Morris and Major Jones are both in the field. The situation here is complicated by the faot that two towns in the constituency are in rivalry. Llanelly have chosen one Glad- stonian candidate and Carmarthen the other. The ultimate result, I hope. will be tbe elec- tion of Sir John Jones Jenkins, who was thrown out by a majority of 228 in 1886 because he was Unionist as well as Ltb. aL Sir Arthur Stepney who then beat him, baa now also beoome a Liberal Unionist, so that even without a split the oonstituenoy is in a I favourable condition for being won. Deputa- 0 tions from Llanelly and Carruartben are troubling the minds of Mr. Arnold Morlsy and Mr. Schnadhorst with their fervent advo- cacy of their own oandidate. But whether this particular quarrel be or be not composed, it will be a notable illustration of tbe splitting of the Separatists. NEW LP.ADRq. Three of the five parties into which the House is diviled will appear with new leaders. >lr. Balfour leads in place of Nlr, Smith, Mr. Chamberlain hends the Liberal Unionists instead of Lord Martinson (who bus gone to be a duke), and Ilr. John Kerb, in ind will do his best to re-plaoe Nir.

Gladstone is now oi,ly the titular, not the acting, leader of the Opposi- tion; and .Mr. Justiu M't'arthy will continue to adorn the position of dummy leader of the atiti-ilarnellites, which fce tilled with suoh conspicuous seif-abnegation since the great split in No. 15. I- MR, SPUROE'IN'S CCCJoS"Il. I hear it is very likely that the Itev. Archi. bald Brown will be asked to suoceed Nir. Spurgeon in the pastorate of the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Mr. Brown is at present pastor of the East London Tabernanle. ASA preacher, he is the Watson of Mr. Spurgeon. He was baptised by him, and, as be has himself said, was proud to acknowledge lr. Spurgeon as his master, and to know that for 30 years be has had no life apart trom the beloved pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Nlr. Brown is a graphic and powerful preacher. He is also an excellent administrator, and well versed in the affairs of the several insti- tutions Mr. Spurgeon created and conducted in connectiou with his ministerial labours, Mr. Spurgeon's brother James has also been mentioned in connection with the vacant pulpit, but the impression is that Mr. James spurgeon will retain his present position of co-pastor, and tbat the first offer of the pas- torate will be made to Air. Brown.
