Of course it is impossible to gratifyallsuchexpectations, and white we, on our part, do all we can towards ensuring this, it is not too much to ask our contributors to co-onerate with us in so far as thev are a.Me.

As AN ATTEMPT is being made to show that Mr Osborne Morgan is among the aiders and abbettors of the Obstructionists, for the pur- pose of damaging his position, w< have pleasure in copying the Tirws report of his speech on the question in the House of Com- mons.

YESTERDAY THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT attained an era in its history. On the 5th of March, 1874, the new Parliament was formally opened, it is therefore now six year.5 oM, and entitled to a respectful attention on aceouiic of its venerable age, if not for the greatness of its deeds. The jVcics winds up an article on the question with the following emphatic language:—"We shall oedy say that it would be a happy thing for England and for the world if the six years' history of Lord Beaconsfield's foreign policy had been a blank. The story of his domestic policy is written in water that of his foreign policy, we regret to say, in Mood." ——.——

THE LIVERPOOL PEOPLE set an example of good sense which Irish Helief Committees would do well to follow. Before sending over a lump sum of money to be dribbled away in doles of meat and potatoes, they sent o\ er some spies to see the nakedness of the land and guage the real amount of distress, one of them being himself a priest, the Rev. Father Nu- gent. They report that the distress is very much confined to certain districts where an ex- cessive population is reared on little patches of two or three acres. They recommend that the money raised be expended, not on doles of meal, but on seed potatoes and small loans to aid in reproductive works such as fishing piers and other gear for fishermen. Altogether, the Liverpool Committee have begun at the right end, which is more than can be said for the London or Dublin Mansion House Committees.

AMONGST THE SMALL CLIQUES which hang at the heels of the two great political parties, the "Anti-Vaccinators are not the least consider- able. Like the Home Rulers, the Teetotallers, and the Tichbornites, they make a show of voting together in a body. Of their two stock arguments, one is altogether idiotic, but the other is certainly deserving of some attention. The idea that the admission of vaccine matter into the system brutalises the nature is too absurd to demand argument. But there are undoubtedly cases in which healthy children have been contaminated for life by the ad- mixture with their blood of lymph extracted from an infant contaminated with disease. Dr. Cameron's Bill meets that danger in the most complete and satisfactory way. He pro- poses to give to every parent the choice between lymph fresh from the cow and the ordinary infantile lymph. All danger of the transference of disease would thus be obviated, and the only s h a d ow of r i shadow of right or reason would be taken from the Anti-Yaccination agitation. It is to be hoped that the Government will not stand in the way of this most rational measure. ————

CONSIDERABLE ANXIETY was awakened throughout the county of Denbigh by a report in the London letter of the Liverpool Cot(,i,iei- that Sir Watkin had had a fit in the lobby of the House of Commons, and soon after mid-day on Tuesday a telegram from Lady CunliRe was re- ceived in Wreiham which greatly relieved the general anxiety, and showed that the writer had considerably exaggerated the facts. Lady Cunliffe's intelligence was that she had never seen Sir Watkin look better and that he felt perfectly well. This intelligence has subsequently been confirmed by the following authoritative report Sir Watkin has quite recovered his usual health after his attack of faintness in the House of Cdmmons His medical advisers Sir W. Jenner and Mr Bennett attribute it to his hav- ing gone to Westminster School, on March 1st at 8 o'clock, before his breakfast, and the long fast and consequent exhaustion was too much for him." Sir Watkin arrived at Wynnstay from London on Thursday evening, and attended the meet of the Wynnstay hounds at Little Ness yesterday. We are sure that all Sir Watkin'a constituents will rejoice with us in having so satisfactory a report of the honorable baronet's health.

NOTHING IN EunopBAN HisToRY since the great French Revolution has occurred which can be compared to the present condition of aSairs in Russia. In minor details it is possible that the accounts which we receive are exaggerated but the late Ukase of thetzar is a political fact which defies exaggeration The view generally current is, that the Ukase is only preliminary to the Czar's abdication. But in point of fact, it amounts in itself to little less than a temporary abcRcation, and that not in favor of his son and heir, but of an Armenian adventurer General Louis Melikon"s selection for the dictatorship—for it is neither more nor less-is in itself a mystery to all who are not deply versed in the intricacies of Russian Court intriue. The man is an Armenian by deep? inTtnhge u ? Armenians, by the way, like the Jews, rise to distinction in every country in Europe and Asia without even losing the identity of their race. He is the .nera! who blundered more than any other f,: .eral in the Russian army during the late war, \í hich is say- ing a great deal. As a provincial g,)\'ernor he is said to have won some degree of ".opularity but it is impossible to detect anyiliing in his career or in his character which has pointed him out as the man to save his country in this < COMMON SENSE AND RELMIOUS LIBERALlTy are making headway in regard to the Burials Question. A few weeka ?go the Herne H? Burial Board, iu 'view of the opening of a 1? cemetery in that town, conceived the idea of making one building available for all funeral services, whether Church of Engtand or N01- conformist. The representatives of the Board wrote to the Archbishop of Canterbury to him whether he would be prepared to assent to the proposal. The Primate repLied that hb could not give a definite answ,r at once, Lnt must nrst consult his legal ad visers. We under- stand that he has now taken this step, a.nd that the result is eminently favorable to the plan originated by the Local Board. The Archbishon has been advised that there is no leg.d impede ment to the celebration of the rites of the Anglican Church in an unconsocrated cemetery chapel, and he has therefore expressed hi< willingness in the ease under discussion to assent to the erection of one chapel instead of two Both the Burial Board and the Vestry will believe, lose no time in giving eo'sct to thrt enlightened view of the law which the Arch- bishop has adopted. The legal opinion with which he has fortified himself will prijbitl,], govern other cases of a similar chn.racter. The Bishop of Lichneld is at issue with the Harial Board at Burslem on the sa.me poim, that pre- late having expressed his be unlawful to perform the Episcopal service in an unconsecrated cemetery chape!. The Arch- bishop has come to a decision in accordanct with both charity and common Seni'1è .uid it seems not unlikely that in so deciding he may exercise a beneficial influence up"n the far larger question involved in Mr Osbol-lie Burials Bill.

———— ?-———— WHAT APPEARS A -NE.KT LITTLE t!JT electioneering took place t!us week in Wrex- ham. Last summer, every S1\1UIller indeed, the Church Sunday Schools had their annual treat, a very wise and encouraging in. stitution, which most denominations ohst-rve, and we trust with beneficial cfiect.?. On this occa.aion there were present a large number <jf friends and supporters of the schools, u:i b.jth politica.1 aides. All honor to them for thu i: terest they manifested in so laudable a matter. Now cornea the sequel. This week the Lllllital distribution of prizes to the scholars took piac;- and though the many friends who have assisted in the general work have done so in that (iuiet unostentatious manner which generally dig. tinguishes Christia" work, there was one not- able exception, where to Do good by stealth and blu.-h to find it fame, would not suit the political gospel now beim.' preached, so an elegant book mark is presented to each child in commemoration of the t''t;a.t last summer-a sort of commemoration as novc! in character as chaste in design.

THE HOME SECRETARY has ordered tht release of Edward Junes, who was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for illegal nshmg by the Llangollen Bench of Magistrates, mor than half of which sentence he had served. When the case was heard we commented upoa it strongly, as we were of opinion that the evidence completely exonerated Jones from the charge. Some County Magistrates, however. require proof stronger than holy writ, ere they can discover the innocence of any man charged with a poaching, ashing, or dog offence, while the slightest scintilla of semblance of proof from the most prejudiced source is sumcient to con- sign the culprit to the severest punishment the law permits or provi des. That in the captain's but a choleric word, Which in the soldier is Hnt blasphemy. Of course we do not say this was the case in the present instance, but it looked exceedingly like it at first, and the decision of the Home Secre- tary adds to that view of the case. We, how- ever, do not wish to charge the Magistrates with such an offence against the spirit of the English law. But they have been the instruments; through a wrong judgment, which they ought to have judged otherwise at the time, of doing a grave injustice to an innocent man, and lie i< now unquestionably entitled to the considera- tion of those gentlemen who have been the means of punishing him for another man's offence. Nor have we to thank these gentlemen themselves for showing even the shadow <jf a shade of inclination or disposition to ascertain whether they had decided correctly or not. Edward Jones might still have been knocking about Ruthin Gaol to the remainder of his term for what steps they took to correct their wrom; decision. It is to the feeling of those who were convinced of Jones' innocence, and who took the steps necessary to a further investigation of the matter, that his release is to be attribute' His neighbours, aided by the solicitor who de- fended him, made Mr Cross acquainted with the facts, and thanks to Mr Osborne Morgan, they were brought so prominently before Parliament that a further investigation could not beavoided. and it led to the prisoner's release. The Magistrates on the Bench at the time wer< Lord Hill Trevor and Captain G. Ll. Dickt). Major Barnes was present in Court during a part of the hearing, but took no part in the-case not having heard the commencement. The committing Magistrates will show both good sense and kindly feeling by voluiiiarly C4--oki- pensatmg the sufferer for their error of m.ln- ment.

THE BEST possiBLB WAY to spend one's money is certainly not in litigation. It must neccss:u-ily end in disaster to one of the parties to the suit. Local boards, and other corporate bodies, even as private individuals, are as liable to be tronb!ed With the strong arm of the law," and t!M Oswestry Local Board is no exception, for it has just undergone a legal procedure uf a very dis- comhtmg, disagreeable; and vexing nature, t.-J wit as follows :—Some tinia ago the Board caused a street in the Castle Fields to be lowered, and considerable excavations wer< made so as to make it look something like uniform with the other streets in the neighbor- hood, and passable for the trame. A ilil(lilig cabled the Trinity Schoola was put up upon c"e side of this street, belonging, or at auy rate vested in the Rev. F. Caahell, and which building it was alleged had sunered consider- Ably by reason of a breach in one of its walls. in consequence of such excavations ha.ving beell made. Proceedings were shortly after insti- tuted, and these went on for some tune, the plaintiff being the Rev. F. Cashdl, and thf defendants the Oawestry Local Board. After some time the matter was referred to the arbi- tration of Mr Edward Jones, Brook-strict, tht) Board entering upon the arbitration under pro. test, and the arbitrator upon going through the evidence decided against the Board, "warlhJ1 the plaontiu' JE25 and costs. These costs wef* taxed in London on Thursday, the 19th February- when JE7 odd were knocked off the bill, and .1. appeared that the London agent for the viltilitit must have immediately instructed the Sherif, for he put a man in possession of the CorpoM' tion property on the next (Friday) morniHg. before the Town Clerk had been made aware I) the amount due from the Corporation to the ? plaintiu'. These are the facts, and no d,b' legally everything was "form&I. But it cer. tainly appeared rather hurried. The case w,):,l.t stand very diuerent if the plaintiff or his sr-hci- tor had gained taxation, and immediately wanted to recover from a person of tinfi-xea habits, or one whom they feared other j""8' ment would be pressing against, and so hafe nrat shot but to our thinking it is rather at unusual custom to put in a distress upon any cor- poration premises, at any rate after so short a period after taxing the coats, and without th' usual complimentary notice to the Town C!er? of the borough requesting payment. feel quite sure had the Town Clerk been applied to for the amount by the solicitor on the ?hec side it would have been immediately paid, <?": thus have prevented the very decided tone of the discussion of the Councillors assembled !? Monday. It is a consolation to ? that the Borough of Oawestry and ita ?Od Board are not the aggressors in this inataJt'?' but through some strange proceduro of the ? have unfortMmtely been exposed to ridici*,
