CONSEEVATIVE MEETING AT LLANDEGAI. Professor Hughes, the Conservative and Unionist candidate for the Arvon Division of Carnarvonshire addressed a highly successful meeting of Conservatives and Unionists at the National Schoolroom, Llandegai, on Tuesday evening. The chair was occupied by Colonel the Hon. W. E. Saekville West, who was supported by Mr and Mrs T. H. Owen, Haulfre; Mr Williams, Penlan; Mr Robert Jones, BetheBda the ffev. Canon Jones, Llandegai; I Dr. Lloyd, Bethesda, and others. The (JHAIBMAN, who was loudly cheered, in introducing Professor Hughes to the meeting referred to the question of Welsh Disestablish- ment, and said that he utterly refused to dis- associate the Church inEngland from the Church in Wales, and an attack upon one was an attack upon the other (hear, hear). The Church existed, as a matter of history, before the name of flngland was known. Some time ago, speak- ing at Cardiff, Lord Hosebery had endeavoured to show that the Church in Wales was of modern origin, but his colleague, Mr Asquitb, when he brought in the Disestablishment Bill, promptly threw aside this assumption, and showed that the Church had existed for many centuries. It was proposed by this hill to separate the Church from the State and to declare that the:State should no longer have the sanction of Christianity and religion for its proceedings (cheers). What was the reason that such efforts were made to disestablish the Church ? Was it the fear that the teachings and the influence of the Church should be thereby extended? Was it not the same motive as had thrown the Bible from the schools ? The Church would not be degraded by disestablish- ment: the degradation would fall upon the State that would sanction such a thing. He should like them itl) to consider that their fight was not against Nonconformity, but against atheism, and other creeds that refused any kind of Christianity (cheers). Referring to disendow- ment he said it was not a question for the clergy but for the laity. If the property of the Church was taken from her it, would be the poorer parishes that would suffer. The Church held her property by a longer title than the land. lord held his land or any capitalist that which he had earned (applause). There were many Nonconformist chapels which had endowments, and he was one of the first to acknowledge the good work done by Nonconformity to Wales. He believed that when the time came tho electors would not be misled by false arguments against the Church, but would show their love for her (loud and prolonged cheering). Professor HUGHES, who was heartily re- ceived, spoke in Welsh and English. He was there to lay his views before them, because, lookin" at the present Government, an election cannot far be avoided. On a division last week their majority was only eleven. He would also inform them that he came out as a young Welshman who did not think that the future of Wales was in safe hands in the present representation of Wales. Referring to the National Convention to be held at Aberystwyth, he said that the Radicals had two, or rather three, associations in Wales, one belonging to the North, and the other to South Wales, and 'another hothouse plant known as Cymru Fydd, which seemed to take from Wales the whole of its older institu- tions. He was standing there that evening on the eve of the great National Convention. It was expected that at this convention the three associations would join together. It so came to pass that the South Wales Federation had refused to send any delegates to the con- vention, and therefore that convention would only consist of a section of the community. He protested against the action of such people claiming the word "national" when they were sectional (cheers). They had only to read the speeches of old and experienced men to see that they are not pleased with the yonng politicians of Wales. Mr Gladstone, in the course of his speech to a Liberal deputation, advocated general national interest to interest which was sectional (cheers). The policy of the Conserva- tives was one of great social reforms, and the people of Wales could expect more from that party than the present one in power. The Unionist Party had pledged itself to Old Age Pensions, and doubtless they would carry it E'e f ei-i-in?, to the through the House (cheers). Referring to the Church Question he said that although the Church required some changus that would be no reason why sh e should be pulled down (cheers). Speaking in We'sh Professor Hughes referred to the Fisheries of Wales, and showed that while the representatives of Wales were shout- ing for disestablishment, the representatives of England, Scotland, and Ireland were alive to the welfare of those whom they represented. He said that in matters of this kind Wales had been greatly neglected by her representa- tives (cheers). In regard to Home Rule for Wales, l'rofessor Hughes said that he looked at so important a subject from the stand- point of whether such a proposal would be to the best interests of Wales, and having carefully studied the matter he believed it would be detrimental to the welfare of the Principality (hear, hear and cheers). Dr. JENKYN LLOYD, Bethesda, in llirving a hearty vote of thanks to Professor Hughes for his address, said he believed Professor Hughes had a -great future before him, and that he would be. if elected, a safe leader and an honour to the House of Commons. He had the best qualities of a good statesman, namely, deter- mination. discretion, and moderation (hear,hear). He was also a friend and sympathiser with the workingman (cheers). Canon JOKES seconded the motion. He was glad to notice that Professor Hughes did not shunt the Church question, and that he was determined, if returned, to do all in his power to defend the Church. He was thankful to Professor Hughes for throwing up such a pro- mising career for the good of his country (hear, hear). Mr T. SHIERS supported in a brief speech,and it was carried unanimously. Professor HUGHKS returned thanks and said that he did not promise so much, but was quite prepared to carry out which he did pro- mised (hear,hear). Before sitting down he should like to move a vote of thanks to Colonel West for occupying the chair. In spite of the parrot- cry of some people of Wales for the Welsh" he had no hesitation in saying that it would be a loss to Wales if they had not such men as Colonel West 'hear, hear). Mr T. H. OWEN. Haulfre, seconded, in a Welsh speech, and the motion was carried. Colonel WEST returned thanks, and expressed the pleasure it gave him to do all in his power for the Conservative cause. He was glad to report the success of all the meetings held in the district, and Professor Hughes had been favourably impressed by the reception accorded him in all parts. Thanks for the organisation of the meetings were d'le to the Bethesda Executive Committee. The singing of God save the Queen con. eluded the proceedings.

BETTER THAN GOLD. There are but few things in this world more highly appreciated or eagerly sought aftar than gold. ?DYl Not beauie it is an attractive colour not b.z? It weighs more than any other gne"ls not beoause it lengthens life. No. But it brings The neoeatsaries, and if plentiful, the luxuries 01 lite. It givei a oeriain sooial standing to its possessor it braugd friends, flattery, and smiles, and veneers un- geuttemauty,or even otherwise questionable actions, and smooths pathways otherwise rongh. But when the dear wife, or son, or daughter lies stricken with pain and feebleness when disease racks the mind and budy when the dear one loses that natural buoyancy, sparkle, energy, and vitality then the glitter ot gold becomes almost repullive ita uie- jessness brings a loathing. Mrs Bullock, of Dursley, (i louoestere hire, Bays "I suffered a tarrible attack of rheumatism and kidney complaint, and failiag to obtain relief, resorted to the use of Warner's Sale Cure, whioh I am pleased to say completely cured me, and I feel it a duty to ackuowlege the good results.

I DENBIGHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. Thesb sessions were held at the County Hall, Denbigh, on Satuiday, Captain Gr;ffitn-Bos- cawen in the cha r. The other magistrates pre- sent were Colonel Mesham (deputy chairman), Captain R. B. O. Cole, Messrs. W. IJ, W. uriffith J. Briscoe, T. Wi 1 ams, T. J, Will ams, E. T. Williams, T. A. Wrnne Edwards, J Uorrie, J. W. Lumley, and K. V. Kyrke, 'I The OHiinMiN, in charging the Grand Jury, explained that, according to the statute, the quar- ter sessions of the peace in England and Wales had to be beld during Easter week, and that was the reason why jurymen and others weie culled together during the present holidays- At the last meeting ot the Standing Joiut Com- mittee, held at Wrexham, the Cbief-constiblo presented his quarterly report, which, he was happy to say, showed a considerable decrease j.1 sritne within the county. There had been fewer persons convicted of indictable offences, an,1 also a satisfactory decrease In cases dealt with summarily. He was glad to say also that there was a considerable decrease io tl10 number of persons cfiurged with drunkenoess, and publicans proceeded agaiust for perrnitticig drunkenness. Tnjs was a satisfactory stite of things, but they must not run away with the idea Lhat they were going to get better all at once. During the past quarter wages had pro. bably been very low, owing to the severe weather. People had not been able to work, and consequently had no money. It had been proved over and over again that when tunes were prosperous and wages hUh crime was then more rife. But during the last quarter wages had been low, and this no doubt had a tendency to lessen crimei in the county. Buttnerewas probably another cause tor this reduction, the spread of education amongst the working classes. Having referred to the loss Denbigh had sustained through the death of Dr. Tumour, one of the county magistrates, the Chairman reterred at length to the cases ot the several prisoners to be brought on for trial. The following gentleman qualified as county magistratesJ. Sparrow, Uwersyllt Hill, Wrex- ham; F. M. Joues St. John's, Wrexham; Dr. E. j), Evans, Bodeirian, Wrexham J. Darling- ton, Black Park, Kuabon and K. J. Powell, Stansty, Wrexham. Sarah Jones, 21, domestic servant, a native of Deubigh, pleaded guilty to having, at Deubigh, stolen oue,umbrelia, valued at 4s, the property ot Catherine Owens, and was sentenced to one mouth's imprisonment with hard labour. John Owen Morric, 40, labourer, was charged with having, at Llansilin, on the :!2'ld of Jan- uary last, obtained by false pretences a pair of trousers and a pair of braces, the property of John Jones. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment with hard labour. Richard Parker, 44, joiner, was charged with having, at Kuabon, on me 23rd March, wounded Charles Wright with a pocket knife. Mr Moss prosecuted, and the prisoner was undelended. He was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. William Morris and Robert Morris, brothers, of Glyn Traian, near Oswestry, were charged with having, at Llangollen, stolen a quantity of timber, valued at 10s the property ot Mr R. Myddletou Biddulph, ot Chirk Castle. Prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr .Trevor Lloyd prose- cuted, and Mr Moss appeared on behalf of the prisoners. They were found not guilty and dis- charged.

GWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL. A meeting of the above Council took place on Saturday at Carnarvon, under the presidency of the chairman (Mr J. O. Hughes), when letters were read 'from the Parish Councils of Llan- liyfni, Llanberis, and Llanfairisgaer, intinutting their willingness to act as Parochial Committees under the Public Health Act. With reference to the question of providing water for Llanfairisgaer which has been before the Sanitary Authority repeatedly for years, a letter was read from the Parish Council of that place stating that arrangements were being; made to proceed with the work at once while the Local Government Board wrote to say that a public inquiry would be held on the 30tii instant touching an application for power to borrow .1:4000 for works of water supply in the parish of Llanliyfni. The Council declined to accede to an applica- tion made by the parochial coinmitcee of Llan. beris to have the private street so transferred as to be made repairable in future by the whole of the district and not by that parish alone. The Highway Committee submitted a report in which they recommended that the manage- in, iit of the roads should reuiain as heietofore until the Council had gained more experience of the work.—This was agreed to. Dr. FKASEE., the deputy medical officer of health, presented a report of some importance on the sanitation of Rhvd-ddu and the con- dition of Quellyn Lake, which is the source (,f the Carnarvon water supply. At Rhyd-ddu he had founl thata. considerableamountof pollution of the stream running into Quellyn Lake still continued inasmuch as several rubble drains still discharged into it. These,however,were all in the district of the Festiniog Rural Sanitary Authority and could only be dealt with by them. The only source of pollution that could be traced in the district of the Liwyrfai Council were occasional throwing of slops from Quellyn- terrace and two privies belonging to the Snow- don Ranger Hotel placed over the stream which discharged itself inio the lake. As to the amount of danger to the health of Carnarvon from this pollution, he (Dr. Fraser) was ready to grant that under ordinary circumstances it was very small. If, however, a case of typhoid or cholera were to occur at Rhyd-ddu or Snow- don Ranger, the danger to health would be l 'i t had ?)een found that it very considerable, as it had been found that a suiall amount of pollution by a fever such as the two named would pollute immense volumes of water owing to the rapid multiplication of the germs of the disease. He pointed out that no one had a right to discharge sewage into any stream, and expressed the opinion that the only proper course for the Council as sanitary authority was to insist upon the removal ot all causes of pollution which had been discovered. He also advised them to provide a small sewer for Quellyn-terrace and compel the owners to connect the houses with it.

BANMB ?OBKINGMEN'S CONSERVA- TNE CLUB. ADDRESS BY COUNCILLOR BARRON. ADDRESS BY CNClLLOR BARRON. The Assembly Room of the Bangor Working- men's Club was filled with a large audience on Tuesday evening when an interesting address on current political matters was delivered by Councillor Harron, of Hyde, Manchester. The Mayor (Alderman Langford Jones), presided. The CHAIRMAN in his opening address, said be felt sure they were all pleased to see Mr Barron amongst them. His outspoken, straight- forward addresses had done a great deal to instruct the workingmen of this country and to further the Unionist- cause. They had now in power a Government which sought to carry measures of the greatest moment through Parliament without having first submitted them to the electors of the country and by a process of gagging stifled free discus8ion I in the House of Commons (hear, bear). The Welsh Disestablishment Bill was an instance of I tfc s policy. The arguments which had been adduced by the Government in support of this Bill had been set forth with an utter disregard for good taste and the truth, and he regretted to say, that not only inside the House of Commons but outside the same system pre- I vailed. Last week they read in the North Wales Chronicle the reprint of one of the most scandalous and libellous effusions that ever man aspiring to the title of reverend could ever put his pen to (shame). It libelled the whole body of clergymen in Anglesey, and was based upon assertions said to have been made by gentlemen who are now in their graves, assertions which it was known for this reason could not be refuted (shame). At a time such as the present it was necessary that experienced speakers such as Mr Barron should address them upon important matters which affected the country so vitally (hear, hear). The Government were apparently very anxious about the spiritual welfare of the Welsh people that they thought it necessary to disestablish the Church in Wales. They also seemedto be so concernedabotit thesob. ricty of tho nation that they brought in their so-called Local Veto Bill. Temperance was always to be commended, and he believed there was not a man or woman in that room who would not favour any fair and reasonable legis- lation in this direction. But temperance and keeping the Government in office were two different things. If for the sake of the cause of temperance in Great Britain it was thought necessary to bi ing forward-a Local Veto Bill, much more so must have been the necessity of such a bill applicable to Ireland as well icheeis1. But Ireland had been entirely left out of it for the reason that the Government knew they dare not offend the Irish meix hers, who were returned largely through the influence of publicans. On the other hand the Govern- ment found itjnecessary to retain the votes of the temperance fanatics in England, and they therefore introduced this Local Veto Bill knowing full well that they never intended to carry it through Parliament. Councillor HARRON, who was accorded a' hearty reception, said in the course of his address that it was the duty of the democracy of this country to belong to the Conservative Party if they were to look for their political and industrial salvation (cheers). They believed in deeds and not words, in perform. ances and not specious promises (hear, hear). The present Government had no intention of fulfilling half the promises they have made to the people of this country (sheers). The Conservative Party deserved the sympathy and support of the working classes. Their past actions warranted him in \1lakin¡ the statement that the interests of the workingmen were bound with those of the Con- servative Party (hear, hear). As an instance of the beneficial legislation of the Conservatives he mentioned the Local Government Act, which relieved local taxation by no less a sum than two millions of money. It was to the Conser- vative Party that the people of England and Wales owed that great measure which resulted in the establishment of the County Councils. Amongst other excellent legislative measures of the Conservatives were those dialing with the housing of tlie working classes, the Weights and Measures Act of lS,j9, the Police Enfran- cliisement Act, the Open Spaces Act, Coal Miners Regulation Act,Factory and Workshops Act, Cotton Cloth Factories Act, Merchandise Marks Act, and the Merchant Shipping Acts. They had also the appointment of a Minister of Agriculture and assisted eduction, which gave the people the right to demand free education for their children. They had also the Friendly Societies Act and Poor Law Reform. The Poor Ljw required to be administered in a spirit of Christian charity, and if a little more of that spirit was exercised by those who would destroy the greatest empire of the world there would be no attempt made to destroy the Welsh Church (cheers). Referring to the Liberation fraud, he said it was aimed at the disestablishment of the Church,but it came to the end it deserved. He felt regret for those poor deluded creatures who had been the tools of such a mercenary character as Jabez Balfour. Under the Conser- servatives the soldiers had had better barracks, the sailors better rations, and the volunteer forces have had better grants. Everyone bad benefitted in a degree by the Acts passed by the Government under the leadership of Lord Salisbury (cheers). With regard to the trade of the country during the Conser. vative Administration the trade and commerce of the country had increased by upwards of one hundred and thirty millions sterling (cheersi. In 1880 the national expenditure was tS2,184,000 and in 1886 under a Liberal Government it was £ 92,000,000. Speaking of the nationalisation of land he said they had better trust to tho liberality of private landlords, who had hearts to feel for those to whom fortune had not been favourable, than trust to the State who would have its pound of flesh like Shylock (hear, hear). Last year the present Government Budget was no less than a hundred and two million pounds. Trade had deelined,ittid thousands of men were starving for want of employment. Referring to Primrose Day he said that when they had the late Lord Beaconsfield as their leader they could rely upon the destinies of this country being in the hands of men who would not impeach its honour (cheers). No promise given to the most insignificant section of the COlli. munity was ever forgotten or ever gone back upon. The late Earl defended the weak against the strong, and he brought back with him from Berlin that imperishable peace with honour cheers). He contrasted with this the policy of the late Earl's successor during whose term, of office the troubles in the Transvaal arose. The late Lord Beaconsfield created Her Majesty Empress of India by means of which the people of India were knit into one common bond of brotherhood with the people of this country (cheers). The policy of the Radicals had been ?promise without performing (hear,hear). They had had nothing but bad trade since this Govern' ment had been in power. The aim of the Conser- vative Party was to restore confidence between capital and labour. A good definition of Radicalism was found in the words uttered by the late Lord Beaconsfield in 1872 when he 8aid; that the policy of the Liberals was to destroy ?ha' t"O plunder landlords with the result that sedition was rampant and treason thinly veiled. Their policy was the same to-day. Those who valued past history should remain lethargic no longer, but rouse themselves and don their armour and stand shoiildct- to shoulder- in defence of that precious heritage, the glorious and united kingdom (cheers). Refer- ring to Home Rule for Ireland he said that question had never been before the country,and until it became the question of the hour and a clear verdict given upon it by the electors the- House of Lords was justified in rejecting tllP- measure (cheers). Dealing with the Welsh Dises- tablishment question Mr Barron, said it was- false for ti.ir opponents to say that the Church of England was State paid and even Mr Glad- stone himself had to admit that it was not. The Church In Wales was tbe original Church in tliis.country, and had an nnbrokeu existence of close upon 1500 years (cheers). It was never created by the State. It was no less than 230 years older than the monarchy aud 675 years cider than our Parliament (cheer#). The first I Norman Parliament met in the Chapter Hw. of Westminster Abbey. The Magna Charta, I upon which the social and industrial freedom of t6e people of the present day were founded, was j wrung from King John by members of the two institutions now threatened by the Radical Party.and one of tba clauses of the Charter was that the Church of England was to be free where would education have been in this coun- try had it not been for the voluntary schools of the Church P Many of those who spoke better things against the Church owed their early education to the Church. Let them be true to their Church and bear in mind that she had been first and foremost in every good and charitable work (cheers). It was the uburch of the poor and not that of the rich. Surely that Christian charity which they expected from the Nonconformists would not allow them to see the Church wantonly plundered in order to satisfy the bitter jealousies of a certain section of the Nonconformist party. The Government were trying to disestablish the Church in Wales, and if that succeeded they would try it on in England. The Disestablishment of the Irish Church did not result in making Ireland more prosperous. Referring to the House of Lords he said that Mr Gladstone bad created more peers and lords than any other statesman. Lord Rose- bery would abolIsh the House of Lords because it was an hereditary institution, but WOuld he also abolish the monarchy because it was hereditary ? Where could be found such illustrious names of eminent statesmen as those written on the scroll of the House of Lords and who had moulded history, extended the empire, mild preserved our hearths and homes (cheers). In conclusion Mr Barron reminded them that some of the standard-bearers in the cause which they had so much at heart were beginning to feel the effect of years, and their places must be filled from the ranks of their young men, who would still carry the standard higher and higher until it reached the pinnacle of national pro- sperity (applause). Mr R. H. PRITCHARD, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr harron, hoped that the large majority of the Nonconformists, whatevet,their views might be of establishment or disestablish- ment, would not like to see the Welsh Church despoiled. He urged them to resist Home Rule for Ireland, which would do that country a great deal of harm. Mr T. G. WILLIAMS seconded, and said that the aim of the Radicals in disestablishing the Church was to obtain her property. He trusted they would do all in their power to resist Mr Asquith's measure of spoliation and that they would also stand firmly by the cause of the Union. The resolution having been supported by Mr Robert Griffith was carried unanimously. Dr. GRIY EDWARDS proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and spoke in high terms of the excellent services rendered to the Conser- vative cause by the Mayor. This was seconded by the Rev. B. THOMAS and unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged, and said that if they firmly and resolutely opposed the Welsh Disestablishment Rill that would meet the same fate as the Home Rule Bill cheers). There must be no compromise in this matter. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem.

CARNARVON COUNTY COURT. This court wai held on Wednesday, before his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd. THE ACTION BY A MJD-CONTRACTOB. Hia Honour delivered jadment in the case of W. 0. Willism?, painter, Carnarvon, who sued Mrs Grtmfb.wJowolMrJobnGriath. jeweler, Car- narvon, for tbe recovery of 39i for extra work alleged to b,?vo been performed under a sub-con- tract he had taken from the contractor of tbe defendaDt's boose. Th? cage had been partly hpard at the two previous courtB.-Hls Honour obsHtved that the case was one of extreme difficulty, and bad caused him to spend a large amount of time in coming to a deoision. Having considered the whole figures he gave bis judgment for the plaintiff for £27 3s 6d, including the amount pitid into court, the original claim being £ 39.—Mr J. T. Roberts appeared for the plaintiff and Mr J. Bryn Roberts (instructed by Mr Kiohard Roberts) for the defen- dant. GBOCERS AND THE BALli OF POI iONS, His HONOOH also delivered judgment in an action heard at the last court, in which tba Pharmaceu- tical Sooiety of Grtlat Britain appeared as plain- Tiff-, and Messrs Evans and Lake, Carnarvon, as defendants. The action was brought to recover £5, bein,, the amount of penalty alleeed to have been inonrred by the defendants on the 2nd of January, 1895, by selling or keeping open shop for retailing, dispensing, or compounding a poison, to wit strych- nine, contained in and forming part of the ingredi- ents iu a compound called "Fellowes' syrup of b) pophoaphitps," or a prepsrlltiou of strychnin*, contrary to the:provisions of tbe Pharmacy Act,1860 (31 and 32 Vier., otip. 121). Hia Honour said it ap- peared that Mr T. J. Hugbeo, obemist, Bethesda, having reason to suppose that unauthorised persons were selling this compound, went to the defendants' ,«hop on tbe 2nd of January and paid for a bottle ot Pellowes' syrup. Although the assistants, Garner and Hughes, denied having sold the compound, their evidence, to his Iniud, could not prevail against the positive testimony of Mr Hughes, because, fiudmg that the names o( Messrs Evans and Lake were not on tbe bottle, he bought a penny- worth of sweets which wera packed in a bag with the firm's name on. At present ha coald not believe that Hughes was such a wicked person as to ooucoot the story, and as a registered cbemist ha had an interest in the matter. He had no reason to doub? thi„ he was telling the truth. He had come to the conclu- sion that Hughes did bny Ihe. bottle there. On the point of law being raised as to "welling and keeping an open chop," his Honour .1.0 decided aeainat ti.e defendants. However, it was only right to Messrs Evans and Lake to say that he b-lieved in tne bona fides of rbeir iotefltions. Having seen Pellowes'Syrop iu the Iiitof prohibited goods to be told by unregistered chemists, they, no doubt did intend to withdraw the syrup from tale but he was afraid that it was ooe of those good iutsntions which were not oarried out, a bittle or two having been left behind and easily procured by the assistants, He gave jadgment for tntl plain- iff,i with oot. In reply to Mr J, T, Roberts, hi. Ho?R ?0 that ha could not allow au appeal on the question  of law, but would stay an exscution for a month, In order to give him an opportunity of deciding I Whether be would apply for anew trial or not.

I MRRATHBONR, in proposing a vote of sympathy with the family ot the late Lord Aberdare, said It is little more than two months since 1 had the ?ononr of wriun to Lord Aberdare to con?tu? e him, on year behalf, on hia appointment &A first Chancellor of the University of Wale, and to tor- ward you hia reply. Now he has gone to his honoured and wtill-deilerved rest, having continued to the very last year of his lite his labours for his fellow-countrymen as chairman of the Commission for tbe Aed Poor and in other work which would bave taxed the ability and atfe?tb of ablo aud strong men iD their prime. It « ..w my to ask you to embody in words oar ?ehn? of gratitude, .dmir.tion,?d sorrow towards ..ar ?- parted benef?tor ?d fneud.MO. what is still mare difficult,of our sympathy with Lady Aberdare and the bereaved family. We feel and know what we haw lost by his death; we caDDot realise what it must have been to those nearest and dearest to him, We can M.ore them that his tellow*oounUy their ?now.moarnera. and I knQw tbaL his fllomlly have felt as their ?r?teetearthty c0™f^' true appreciation .od love felt for h.?wh.ohbreah? in every notice or letter called forth by his dep.r.ure from among ns. When we think ot .uch *"t?? death as hi, joy and gratitude are more approp th?n ead.es,. For to how few is it givdu t) !lve out sach a doh, full life as his, and to fill with ODD- our some of the highest posts in the Empire, He found his native Wales unheeded and oackward even in ednoation-tbe wealth she moat needed and most coveted and knew best how to use. tie began his great work as chairman of the Departmental Committee to whose recommendations we owe the reform of Welsh education in all its ttog^s, and be concluded it as president of the Con- ference which drew and carried the Charter of me University of Wales,and thus completed the legisla- tive organisation of Welsh education. In a wot he fouud Wales in the rear of education in the United Kingdom; he left it, as regirds its legal establishment, at the head. As you have heard from his own words, written two mootbij g., be considered that one of the great8 work, in wnico he had bee. e-Kgtd during his long 1IIe wai the promotion of higher education in Wales i. n all It stages and we are grateful that he hved to accept, enjoy, and value his eleotion to the Cbttneellorsiiip of the University, as tbe greatest aud most accept- able honour that could have been oonterreu upon him in Lis declining years, oonnocted as it was with the unanimous appreciation of his great public services and the devoted affection of his ttitaw- countrymen (hear, hear). I have therefore to pro- pose that The Court of Governors of the Univer- sity Collega of North Wales desire to plaos on record their deep sorrow at the loss which Wale. and the country at large have suffered by the death of Lord Aberdare, and their appreciation of tbe invaluable services he rendered, especially to the causa of Welsh education. They desire to convey to Lady Aberdare and to his family the expression of warm sympathy in their bereavement, and to assure them that his fellow-countrymen will strive to prove their gratitude by using their best energies to carry on worthily the work to which Lord Aberdare so largely devoted his life and great abilities." Mr [I. BULKBLIY PRICK, chairman of the Couaoi). seconded the motion, which was bupported by Mr 0, ISOOED JONKS and carried. DAY TBAISINO COLLIGZ.

I CHARGES MADE BY THE REV. DANIEL ROWLANDS. I REPLY BY ARCHOEACON PRYCE. I The Ven. Archdeacon Pryoe contributes the following letter to the columns of the" Christian World" iu reply to the itnvudont and unsupported I assertions made by the ltev. Daniel Rowlands, Baugor, in the same journal agaiust the clergy of Aug!esjy, under the heading of The Morality of the Welsh Clergy." Archdeacon Pryoe says:- To thoee of your readers—and I trust they are many in number—who pray and work fjr the lulfli- ment of Istiah's prophecy, when "they sall not hurt or destroy in all My noly mountain; for tbe earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the watets cover the sea," the reading of the letter of the Rev. Daniel Rowlands iu The Christian World' of April 6. cannot be otherwise than ":["d- ingly painful and distressing. It is a frdlb illustra- tion of the bitter ranoour that religious partisiosnip, unlesj held in check by the most excellent gift of charity, kindles in the hearts of msn otherwise kind and courteous aDOl considerate. In this in- staDod we bare oa tha one hand Mr Rowlands—a man worthily holding a high position among tbe Calvinistic Methodists—and oil the other hand, in the clergy of tile Welsh Church, a band of men trying, aaiuis; many imperections, it may b, for 'who is suttinieut for these things, to win sonls to Christ; what rOJm.tur..Uy liik, is there bere for that gloating over the defeots and sms of indivi- dual clergymen in the pist which chariicierista Mr Rowlands' letter; a period extending over more than 300 years being ransaoke ) for tins purpose. It is diflicuic to cjnoeive a more saddening sight tban that of Christians, whether they be Nonconformists or Churchmen, so ititent upon pressing a ca" whichfthey imagine tells agaiust their co-religioniata as to be utterly regardless of the injury they do thereby to their common faith. Mr Rowlands allows, indeed, that bis reproachM do not rofer to the Welsh clergy of the present day. though, he immediately adde, 1 they are not dis- tinguished for their holinesj." Tlieti, by way of dotracting from the ministerial faithfulness tba& we now witness, he ascribes it, not to the working of God's Holy Spirit, but to fear on the part of the cinrgy ot public exposure, II' (I quote tbe war& with re)aet?a:e) they h?d contmued to wallow in the filth of their fttber?.' But why dost tboa judge thy brother ? Or, why dost thou Set at nought fby brother ? for we snail all siand before the judgment seat of Christ.' Air Rowlands tells 09 that he knew the late Dean Edwards, of Bangor. I alao knew him, and pro- bably I had more frequent opportunities than Mr Rowlands of ascertaining hia rcil sentiments on Church matters. I cannot bnug mysdf to believe that he ever gave expression to the statements tbat Mr Rowlands, ou hearsay, attributes to him. If, however, tbey are his ulto:ance», we ougllt, I think, to look upon them as the outcome of momentary despondency, arising from an intensity of jealou.-y fir tile houour at Go l's Courcli. The prophet riiijali, onder simiiir c¡"carnstI\QC8e, com- plained that of the worshippers ot the Jehovab, he, tveu he oniy, was left buc at that very time the all-seeing God knew of seven thousand iu Israel who bad not bowed unto Baal. The PailmUt also, under tho pressure of a similar frame of mind, oomplains tuat there waa not one godly in-sn left'; even then, doubtles", in tbe sight ot Gad, I who knowetb His own,' there was a countless hcs5 ot holy and humbie men of h,arl, who at toe con- summation of all things will come fnrn iheeaat and west to 011 down in tbe Kingdom ot Heaven. Cnurchuien claim for the Church no immunity from unworthy ministers. Was there not among the twdve, tnough chosen by Him who knew whal was in maa, # oad who had a devil?' The Calvinis. tic Methodists of Wales, short as has beeu Sbe 1 fa of the Couuaxion in ompirison with tbat of the Church, bave bad oausa to feel tbat their ministry also is not exempt from the working of the same sad law. But what good purpose do recriminatioua uuder this bead serve ? The unbeliever alone profits threby tbey do indeed give a point to his tauot that Christianity as the gospel of peace and brotherly love is a failure, and tbe ministry of re- conciliation but a fraud and a delosioo.. See how theóe Christians love each other was the constrained exclamation ot a Kiman heathen of the secJnd century See how these Christians hate each other must naturally be tbe sad impression ("lit the letter wo have been considering leavei on the mind of its leaders."

A correspondent, under the nom de plume of "Au old curata of Bangor," writes t3 as as follows :— 818,-1 am truly grateful to you for letting the public bave the opportunity of reading thai marvellous ebullition with which the late Principal of Bangor Normal Collega thought tir to astonisU the readers of the Christian World." To me il recalls pleasant memories of a tims when walking down one of tbe bye-streets of Bangor, I heard two ladiee having a friendly dispute. The one stood in the middle ot the road aud poured out a torrent; of eloquence on the devoted bead of ber opponent who stood quietly on tbe door-step of her bouse, and when the uproar bad ceased retired. A third pirty who had interested herself -in the fray the. came up to the silent lady and askid Why didn't you pitob baok into ber?" Upon which tbe other replied sadly: How oould 1? I knew nothing about her family." Evidently the learned Mr Rowlands had sat at the feet ot this sweetly reason- able lady or he could never have risen to such sublime heights in the art of arguing oil the point as he nas done III his latest lucubration. Having absolutely nothing to say agaiust the olergy of tha present nay be goes poking his DOS j intl tbd history of" the hmily" as tar back eveu as the sixteentn century in order to rake up nnsavoary details t:> furnish himself with what he is pleas-d to con- sider as "argummt-i" for diseitablishment. Granted that all he says ware tNe, and when a man gives neither name, date, nor pines he oan let his imagination roam at its own free will with- out fear ot contradiction. Wuato'i earth has this got to do with the qursdou of to-day ? The whole point at preseut is this Is the CbarJh making » proper use ot be eudowmen s and pjsition for the spiritual good of tbe people ? I dery Mr Rowlands to aay that ehe is not. Wnen a mm can ignorstrhis, the real point at issue, a.1111 go rumna'.tng in the garbage heaps of the put for tilth to fling at the Church of the prssent one does not know at whioh to wonder most, the feebleness of his intellect or the malioiousuese ot bis heart. Either the reverend gentleman is BO utterly devoid of the faculty of reasouing as to think that the aocu*atioo8 which hit brings have eomething to do with the question of to-day, or he is II., tilled with batej, malioe, and all uncharitablenees against the Cuurch that be oousidera any means, however infamjus, legitimate for compassing its destruction.

rro THE EVITOR.) SIR,—If every word of the R.)v. Daniel R ¡.- landa's assertions concemiog the dead clergy of Anglesey were true, what stronger proof could be given to show that the vital spirit of Corittianity i8 as strong as ever in the Churali, than the ojutrast offered by the existing stats of thin,-i ? Thw Church is a living Churb, growing Churah [ aID not an admirer of Mr Gla istone. nor d > I per- sonally piaoe any reliance iu his opinioni, which change with every politioal b-eeze that blows, but I quote hi3 words as nearly as I can r inimb<r them as being likely to carry weight w.th his N-)nc,ii- formist friends. Why did the 1(ev. Daniel Row- lands not lift up his voice whiltl tho reputed sinamer were yet alive, «nd oould,and would most oert tml). have been pnnished as they deserved if the alit-tzed transo"reesions had beeu properly brouahc before those in authority aud pioved ? Apparently the Nonconformists prefer the existone- of a f=w sucta scandals, or why should tbey h,.V- 1-.1100 such V,.ine to prevent Church people obtaining th prw-r to deal with irr-'gnlarities amongst the clergy a- w.tn^sa the srnne oppoil. tion maie by the Noncinformist mouthpiece, Mr Lloyd Giorg». to t,he Clergv Disoi. plioe Bill?
