The same applies to tradesmen's paragraphs. WE WOULD IMPRESS upon our many correspondents the necessity of receiving what items of passing events they may favor us with as early as possible after their occurrence. It is unfortunately a too frequent thing for us toreceivenews five orsix days old on Friday morning, with a request for it to appear this week." Of course, it is impossible to gratify all such expectations, and while we, on our part, do all we can towards ensuring this, it is not too much to ask our contributors to co-operate with us in so far as they are able.

YKIIV TFCH KECRJ'T will be felt by all the people of Xorfh Wales at the sad calamity which this week has befai.'en the house of Wyiiii4t,y, in the aceul-.mtai death, by drown- ing, of the heir presumptive to Sir \V. Wil- j liam-i Wyrni, 31. P. Especially will the deepest I sympathy be felt with the sorrowing mother) who lias now again to pass through the intense anguish of losing one of her neare-st and dearest relatives in a terribly sudden manner, for it will be remembered that the father of Lie: j Williams Wynn, Col. Williams Wynn, of Cefn, was killed v.hiist riding within sight of his own residence.

THE WEATHICK is always astonishing us in England. The last novelty is less unpleasant 1 1 1 T' f' k. 1 than usual. The first wee k in September is j often bright and tolerably warm, but never, or hardly ever, within living memory, has it ap- pvoached the heat and splendour of last week, We suppose the hottest day of this dimmer v.is hist Saturday, when the sunshine was actually i scorching. For once lie fanners ought to be; contuiif. ]S uthiii^ could be better for the iiiir- vest. ^S»

i AKLIAMEXT, prorogued at last, has sat later into autumn than any Parliament except that 1841, which met in Augu-jC, and did not separate till October 7th, having ill the meanwhile turned out Lord Melbourne's Government, and brought in Sir Hubert Peel. During this perturbed session, the House of Commons has seen the sun rise ten iiiiies it has been counted out eight times, and has sat up once all the night but, thanks to Lord Hartingtoirs backbone," of which too much cannot be said in praise, it has never gone home without doing its work.

———— ———— IT Is YEHY GOOD of the Bishop of Lincoln to promise to obey the law, and to recommend his clergy to do so but for all that, he seems to forget that if lie speaks in Parliament as a spiritual peer, he is, after all, only a state official, and, as such, his dislike of change in the law should not go beyond a quiet remon- strance. The Bishops of the Georgian era at least u" derstood their position. They were the lucky survivals of a mediaeval Church of privi- lege, and as they existed only by the favor of the Crown and Parliament, they never presumed on it.

THE SESSION, too, has brought forward a few small notabilities, and developed one or two bores of the first order. Among the "small! bores of no particular calibre of intellect, we should class Mr Ashmead-Bartlett, Mr Warton, and Mr Gorst. It is difficult to say in what they may settle down to but experience shows that the incipient bore is a bore and nothing ebe to the end of the chapter. The boring process, as it implies a kind of dog-like shamelessness in barking at the heels of every passer-by, so it never rises to any higher quality. We must bear it with a patient shrug, and hope that it may not impede legislation next Session as it has this. »

IF ANOTHER INDICTMENT were wanted against the War Office, it would be laid in the fact that, General Roberts, who has done such good ser- vice with the heliograph, brought it before the notice of the authorities at the War Office, who peremptorily rejected it as "impracticable." Undeterred by this piece of stupid officialism, Roberts set to work and perfected a set of in- struments, with which, as we know, such effec- tive service has been done both at the Cape and Afghanistan. The intelligence department is still the one in which our service is most back- ward, and it will be all the more a matter of regret that Captain Stratton, who worked the heliograph so well at Candahar, has fallen in the victorious attack on Ayoob Khan.

——— ♦— Now THAT the Session is over, we may take stock of our new Ministers, and judge who has gone down and who up in public estimation. In a word, it may be said that Mr Gladstone re- mains much where he was. His illness has excused any shortcoming and if he has made a few mistakes of rashness, his indomitable pluck and perseverance in attending the House during its closing days have won him respect on all sides. As for his two colleagues, Mr Forster and Lord Hartington, the one is reported a decided failure the other an undoubted suc- cess. Among those who have made a reputation for Ministerial ability may be reckoned Sir Charles Dilke and Mr Chamberlain. They are the rising young men of their party, and as everything comes to the man who knows how to wait, it is impossible to fix the limits at which they will cease to rise.

0 THE DISPUTE at Bala College has ad vanced a stage. Both the "Old Constitution" and the "N ew Constitution" have just held their annual conference at Bala. The former met under the presidency of Mr D. Davies, J.P., of Maesffynon, ex-high sheriff of Merioneth, and the latter had Mr Roberts, a solicitor from Pwllheli, in the chair. Whetherthe unfortunate misunderstanding is likely to be removed it is difficult to outsiders to tell, but both sides have agreed to refer the matter in dispute to Urbitra- tion. The Rev. D. Rees, of Capel Mawr, Dr. Parry Jones, of Mostyn, and Mr M. Evans, of Oakfoi-cl, have been elected to represent the "Old Constitution," and to represent the new, Messrs Owens, Roberts and Williams have been appointed. It would be very difficult for many of the disputants to give a clear definition of the point of difference, and unfortunately personal matters have crept in. But for the sake of the denomination, and for the credit of religion it- self, we trust that both sides will endeavor to conciliate one another, and labour together to build what they have destroyed.

| THE PRESENT POSITION of the Eisteddvod I forms the subject of an interesting letter from Estyn in another column. It will be carefully read by all who have the interests of the Welsh i National Institution at heart, for although all may not agree with the pronounced news on the subject held so staunchly by the Rector of Llanfynydd, his full knowledge of all pertaining to the Eisteddvod demands that he should be heard. No one will deny that there is very much truth in the conclusions Estyn comes to on the several points raised in his letter, and we should be glad to see him follow the matter up and do once more what lie gallantly did in 1858 revive or recreate the Eisteddvod. For it is due to Estyn to say that the experience of the twenty years since the great Llangollen Eisteddvod has shewn that the Eisteddvod has been a success only so far as it has kept to the lines then laid down between Estyn and his colleagnes-Ab Ithel and Cirn ln(rli.knd in connection with the subject, with the recollec- tion of the brilliant gatherings we had at Mold and Wrexham, the idea suggests itself that the time has arrived when these tOWllS: may agahl unite and secure the festival to be held in one of these towns—say Mold—in 1882.

"WE AKE TO HAVE a visit before long 1\11' Emerson. He is himself advancing in yer, but he is anxious to see Carldc before hid elld and as the sage of Chelsea is at a very advanced age, unless the American comes soon he is not likely again to see him. Mr Emerson is also coming over to make arrangements for the pub- lication of a cheap edition of his works in this country. We also hear that Walt Whitman, who is the poet of advancing Democracy, has consented to write an estimate of English poets of the nineteenth century, and it is written in his peculiar style, which is neither prose nor i verse, but only prose run mad.

LAST YEAR'S hop-picking saturnalia can scarcely be said to have occurred. The harvest was so bad that there was little or nothing to induce the occupants of the London slums to take their annual riot in the Kentish fields, t There was, therefore, an unusual crush this year to catch the first cheap ti aiii3 to Stolle as the pickinir season commenced. There is a well known story of a bather at a Lancashire side resort who, being accosted by a companion with the remark, My lad, tlnui is mucky replies depreeatinyly, Wull, lad, tliou knows I wasn't til) fall The autumnal trip to the sea-side was the operative's only chance of iimm'i'siou during the ye:u' and if the inhahit- ants of Whitechapel and Poplarhave been doubly hun?rvfcr country air this reason, it must be remembered that they were not up"'last fad. l?. a singular tiling when one comes to think of it, a ttiiti,r wlit:ll ()Ile CI)Ill(.s t.) 4) f it, that ?o thoroughly rural an occupation as hop-? picking should be performed to so great an extent by the hithitw'.s of the most crowded London alums. The country is for ever swell- ing the population of the town, and, by way of compensation, the town goes out once in a way to help the country. Rural scenes were never invaded by so much blackguardism and tilth. One wonders that the pure air of Kent is not permanently tainted by the dirt and wickedness which visits it year by year. It is a.9 though the sewage of London were poured once every twelve months i to the beautiful Med way. Sir Wilfred Lawson might well point out that the pollution of the "beer traffic commences with the first gathering of the hops.

————— ——————— YI:KY \PI*I?ORKIATKLY Saturday afternoon, so j brilliantly fine, was the time appointed for the excursion or race, or whatever it may be called, of the Balloon Association. It VV;ls il day when anyone might wish to ri-e without exertion ioto a higher and cooler at-uosphere. Eight balloons were to have started, but by some aceideiu or other, two were unable to do S), and the six which actually ascended were Hot launched iIlt,) the air sinmlianeoudy—so far is ballooning from being an exact science. It was amu-ing to see the Illlmlwr of gazers into the sky as the live specks pursued their course again.it the bright Amongst the aeronauts, by the way, was Cumins 'dcr Oheyno, who went up in the Crystal Palace balloon. The Commander has not lost his interest in such matters, al- though he has, "in deference to public opinion," given up his idea of reaching the North Pole by air. lie lias received some cn- couragement in prosecuting his scheme of Arctic 1 E 1 ] t'" 'f' "'II 11 Exploration lately from Sir John Macd oual d, the Canadian Premier, who believes that the D 'minion might profit, by the adventure, and thinks the Canadian Parliament might be in- I' duced to vote a few thousands in aid of it. Sir John Macdonald, by the way, has just returned I to Canada with his colleagues. How much he has accomplished in furthering the great rail- way scheme is not quite certain. But at any rate lie has been quite a success in Society. He is an amiable and amusing man, and if lie %vi.-ro not such a rabid Protectionist might be estcclned a clever statesman.

THE Tows COLTSCIL OF Ref HIS have decided by ten to none not to pay for the winding of the church clock which is not their property, but which belongs to the parish authorities, and this is how a local oracle writes on the sub- ject :—" he church clock is of incalculable bene- fit to the whole public, to the working classes particularly, and for half a dozen members of the Council to assert in the face of this fact that it is not, and without even discussing the ques- tion, to summarily pass a motion, in the absence of the other half of the Council, stopping their annual subscription ( £ 3 10s) towards it is a proceeding so anomalous that it demands to be denounced in the strongest terms. The warden and the churchwardens have one duty before them—to stop the clock, and then perhaps the feeling of the town will be a little more warmly expressed as to the action of these would-be-economists of the Ruthin Council.' Remembering that the clock can only be seen by a very limited portion of the borough, it will perhaps not be an irreparable calamity if it should be stopped as our friend advises, but probably the Warden and churchwardens of the parish may after all be good enough to pay for the winding of their own clock, or perhaps they may kindly hand over the clock to the Town! Council to be placed in the Town Hall tower, where it can be seen, and then no doubt the Council will pay for the winding. —————

MR OSBORNE MORGAN and the Burials Bill- 'I now, we are glad to say, the Burials Act, are so closely connected that there was the greatest fitness in the demonstration which took place at Brymbo on Thursday, in Mr Morgan's honor, especially as those who participated in the gathering were the right hon. gentleman's con- stituents and as such could claim some little share in the triumph which as at last rewarded the long struggle for free churchyards. It is now nigh twelve years since Mr Osborne Morgan opened his first electoral campaign in Denbigh- shire with a speech in the Town Hall, Wrexham, when he specially referred to three needed pieces of legislation the unreserved opening of the Universities to Nonconformists, the pro- curing of facilities for the purpose of sites forthe erection of places of worship, and the opening of the parochial church yards. All three require- ments are now supplied, and there is ample ground for the congratulations which Mr Morgan has received. The few words the right hon. gentleman spoke on the subject of the Burials Bill, on Thursday, put, in an admirable way, the case of the Government in limitinsr the funeral service to such as shall be Christian and orderly. Mr Morgan's answer to those who wished the removal of the religious condition is, we think, complete—legislation must be practical, and not, indeed it cannot be, in advance of public opinion. Mr Morgan was equally happy in his review of the session generally, and the story he had to tell was so difft-reitt to his annual account of Parliamentary doings during the six years of Tory rule" that it is no wonder the cheers with which the vast audience re- sponded to his remarks were well nigh deafening for all could rejoice that at last the tide had turned, and to use the right hon. gentlemen's own words, "the Session of 1880, which began under storms and clouds, has closed upon a loyal, a peaceful, and a contented people.

O?NE OF 01-;R coliit)are d life to a I ONE OF OUR POETS has compared life to a march and a battle, the matter of fact being that a march is only the prelude to a battle. In the case of General Roberts one of the most magnificent marches of history has been followed by a battle which is the fitting crown to such a march. The success we have gained at Candahar has come in time to wipe out the tarnish on our scutcheon, and to freshen up our laurels, which had begun to be faded. But for this victory of Saturday last, it would have been impossible to evacuate Afghanistan. As it is, we may now safely do so, and march back to India with our supremacy there still undisputed. There are occasions when we can afford to be magnanimous and the present is one of these. Till we had taught Ayol1 b Khan and his rabble rout of Ghazee fanatics a lesson, it was impossible to say whether we could safely return to India and reckon on the allegiance of some of our dis- affected tributaries. It is no secret that many of these Mahommedan states are watching for our halting, and had any serious reverse occurred to our arms in Afghanistan, it is impossible to say what the consequences would have been. Happily, as it now is, that danger is exorcised for the present, and we may rest content that our supremacy, military as well as .1 _11 1-- "1"1"1. tivii, wm ue uncnaiiengecl tor this generation at least. Nothing remains, then, to be done but to carry out the original intentions of the present, as well, indeed, as the late Ministry and to clear oui of South as well as North Afghanistan as quickly as we conveniently may- On this subject we are not the least disturbed by the lll-timsd address of a certain so-called Patriotic Association to Lord Hartington the other day. These patriots," as they call irhem- selves, whose motto is war at any price, have made up their minds that the safety of our In- dian Empire is involved in some way in our retention of Calldhar, with a view, we sup- pose, of an ultimate advance on Herat. For j what military purpose we are indefinitely to extend our base beyond the Indus, till it touches the P-s?siaii and',tit fr.n' whre south of the Caspian and Elb 11(>1111" f f '1 () II ti: of mountains, we fail to see.

Then we have the Savings 0 Bank Act, the Money Orders Act, the measure on Grain Cargoes, the abolition cf the Malt Duty, and the reconsideration of the E lticati-.n Act. Besides all these, there was the sunieivlut elaborate Irish Relief Act, which re^uireda deal of consideration, but which was eclipsed in the Ipublic mind by the Disturbance Hill. If we give Ministers credit simply for what they have achieved, rather than for what they attempted, we have no reason to be dissatisfied with their work. The anticipation, too, niuuraUy arises. that if the new Government have been able to do so much in a broken session, in spite of various adverse circumstances, they will probably be able to give us a full crop of useful measures next year with all the time "f an ordinary session at their command.
