OFFICES OF THE COM.PA.T-L5, Newgate-street, Chester. PROSPECTUS This Company has been incorporated by special Act of Parliament, passed during the present year, by which they have obtained the exclusive right to construct Works to supply Water by gravitation to the populous and increasing manufacturing and mining districts of Hawarden, Mold, Leeswood, Coed Talon, Buckley, Sandj croft, and Queen's Ferry, in the County of Flint. The Company, te pursuance of powers contained in their Act, have entered into an agreement to purchase the Works and propi-rty of the Mold Gas and Water Company for the sum of £ 17,280. The nett revenue of the Mold Company for the past year was £ 1,248, thus showing a profit of over X- i per cent, per annum on the amount of the purchase-money. The population to be supplied with water is 23,000, and there are numerous works, mills, and collieries in the dis- trict worked by steam power, for which a large supply of good water is required. There is also a considerable demand for water for local railway locomotive purposes. 16% harves and other works are about being estabiished on the River J ee, which will be worked by hydraulic power, for which large quantities of water will be required. The number of houses now built and requiring water is 4,390, and taking the average water-rae for each house at the low figure of 10s per annum, there would be a revenue from the supply for domestic purposes alone of 42,195. it is estimated that there will'also be a demand yielding a revenue of at least £ 1,800 per annum from trade, manu- facturing, and steam purposes. In addition to this the nett receipts for Gas consumed under the Mold Company's Act. taking the average for the last three years, amount to X700 per annum, thus giving a total revenue of about A:4,700 per annum, which it is estimated, after making a proper allowance for disburse- ments, will produce a dividend of at least XG per cent. on the Capital of £ 60,000. The works being designed for a supply of pure water solely b; gravitation, none of the heavy working expenses incidental to pumping will be incurred, and the only charges to provide for will be the management and main- tenance of the business and the works of the company. Waterworks in similar districts have been found to be a very safe and profitable investment. Amongst other places may be named the Consett District in Durham, which have paid 10 per cent. dividend Low Moor, in Yorkshire, 8 per cent; Aberdare, in South Wales, 6 per cent.; the Neath District, in South Wales, 6 per cent. the Chester Waterworks Company, 7 per cent; and the Brymbo Water- works, in the adjoining district to that of this Company, from 5 to 8 per cent, dividend. The irospectus and icerms of Application for shares can be obtained from the office of the Company, the Bankers, and the Secretary. ac2534p ALL SMOKERSASK FoP.

NOVEMBER brings many municipal changes and expiring mayors, aldermen, and town coun- cillors, give place to their successors. Last week wo recorded the changes of the first, while I to-day we have to record those of the ninth. In Alderman Strachan, Wrexham haa had a diligent, painstaking, business-like Mayor, who has worked hard and done his duty through evil report as well as good report. He has. like some others, not escaped the misrepresentations of those parties who are ever ready to judge harshly those who hold different views to their own narrow shibboleth, end who dare to ex- press them but he will receive, notwithstand- ing, the hearty verdict of approval from the I great majority of his townsmen. The new Mayor is Mr J. B. Murless. He was proposed by Alderman Bury and seconded by Mr Samuel. Mr Baugh was proposed by Mr Walter Jones and seconded by Mr B. Owen. The voting being 8 for and 8 against, Mr Mnrless was elected on the casting vote of the retiring Mayor, Alderman Strachan. The new alder- men are Mr W. E. Samuel and Mr Walter Jones, in place of Alderman Strachan and Alderman Smith, the former being elected by a majority of two.

THE PAris PAPERS, in coram inting upon the remarkablesuccess of our International Fisheries Exhibition, severely blatnes France for not having manifested more interest in a display so likely to have drawn profitable attention to one I of her most lucrative industries. The French section consisted of a few boxes of sardines and a dozen cockles, aays the witty writer scorn- fully. This is an exaggerated depreciation, as every visitor who saw the charming Boulogne fish-wives will be ready to admit still thore is a good deal of truth in this reflection upon French apathy. Much might have been done to popularize French oysters by some demon- stration of their culture, whilst the implements used in curing the sardine would h ive been more interesting than the exhibition of this small member of the finny tribe in the pre- served condition in which it is most familiar to us.

THE LUTHER CELEBRATION has acted as a kind of a theological test. It reminds one of the title of an old Reformation broadsheet now forgotten, The hunting and the finding of the Roman fox. The Dean of York is opposed to this glorifying of the little monk who shook the world, and the former has gone so far as to give out, that if the Archbishop of York preached on the subject he should absent him- self. It probably does not much matter to the world at large what the Dean of York thinks about Luther, but it matters very much to the future of the Church of England what her dignitaries understand their position to be. On this subject the Timex has addressed a kind of warning, which the Ritualists will of course treat with contempt. This Luther celebration, however, is calling forth a good deal of enthusiasm in certain circles which take their keynote from Exeter Hall though this is nothing like the furore that might have been excited, if the matter had been differently con- ducted, and appealed to a broader section of the community than that which take Martin Tupper for its poet laureate, and Dr. Badenoch for its theological guide. It is little less than a mis- fortune that a small and insignificitut. clique of No-Popery Evangelicals should have put them- selves forward as the representatives of public opinion. They have managed things better in Germany at least. ———— ————

THE OPENING OF THE WREXHAM new sewage tanks and filter beds took place on Saturday in the presence of a number of members of the Corporation and visitors interested in Sanitary matters, including Mr Osborne Morgan, the Mayor of Chester (Sir Thomas Frost), CoL Scotland, and others from a distance. Arrange- ments appear very complete and reflect great credit upon the engineering skill of Col. Jones. It is to be hoped that practically the works will prove satisfactory, and remove any and every ground of complaint on the part of river conservators, riparian ownerJ and the Chester Corporation. At the luncheon which followed, Mr Osborne Morgan spoke in high terms of the principle of local government as exemplified in the carrying out of the works they had inspected and advised as little interference as possible on the part of the central authority. Some. how- ever, is in our opinion necessary. In all Town Councils there is a minority opposed as well as a majority in favor, if the conditions are not absolutely the reverse, and, however disinterested and public spirited the majority may carry out a policy, the objectors are quite ready to assign all manner of motives if not direct jobbery. It is well, therefore, to have a central authority as an important tribunal to appeal to before such works are carried out, so that full evidence may justify any local expenditure. This tribunal can only be efficient when its members have the highest scientific knowledge bearing upon the department of enquiry. For this purpose the officers must be the exact opposite of those who had the management of the celebrated Circumlocution Office, whose motto was-How not to do it. The engineers and medical inspectors of the Local Government Board ought certainly to be fully acquainted with the latest discoveries in Sanitary science and ready to apply them in a judicious spirit when satisfied of their practicability and efficiency. ———— ————

WE have probably now had the bulk of political speaking with which members of Par- liament generally favor their constituencies in the autumn, and the impression left upon the public mind is that the next session will be a busy, if not a critical one. All persons seem agreed that the time has come for a crucial test of the strength of the Government, as well of parties. Not that the Ministry shows signs of weaknessc-far from it. Mr Gladstone's popu- larity seems to grow rather ths.n to diminish. Age does not wither, nor custom stale, his in- finite variety." There are certain members of the Cabinet whose posts could not be more worthily filled, and "whose special merits are recognised both by opponents and friends. Nevertheless, something must bs done and whether London Municipal Reform or Parlia- mentary Reform be fixed upon, it is almost cer- tain that there will be convulsions of a severe kind in the country as well as in the House of Commons. The closing of ranks has been ordered, if it be not actually taking place. We hear now little, and as the crisis approaches, we shall hear less, of differences between Lord Salisbury and Sir Stafford Northcote. Already the Fourth Party seem to be returning to their old allegiance, and Lord Randolph Churchill can even now say a good word for a leader whom at one time he found it difficult to follow. While, however, unity is making itself visible, augularities in some quarters are being all the more sharply defined. Mr Goschen does not waver in his opinion as to the desirability of extending the franchise. Lord Sherbrook, in theatrical phrase, is ready to appear again in the character of Mr Lowe, It is probable that certain members of the old Whig party will ere long either gather together their latent strength, or merge into what is termed a national party. There are reasons for and against an early attempt to extend the fran- chise. Few will deny that if any person is capable of carrying reform to a successful con- clusion, it is Mr Gladstone. Prophesy, in the circumstances of the case, is not much to be relied on but if we ventured to predict it would be in this wise :-There will be an attempt to legislate on some of the minor questions shadowed forth in the original pro- gramme. Probably London municipal reform will be the piece de resistance, and towards the close of the session there will b3 an announce- ment of ministetial intentions with regard to the equalisation of the franchise and the re-dis- n tribution of seats, so as for these matters to occupy public attention until Parliament again assembles. After all, Parliamentary reform is not positively urgent, the Conserva- tives say it is not even wished for by those whom it would immediately affect. At all events, the Government is under no pledge to introduce it at the earliest possible moment. Moreover, who knows what might take place even in the course of a few short months I Is it certain there may be no complication of foreign affairs ? The horizon is not absolutely clear. Speaking of the present alone, war is only too probable between France and China, and with our vast and intricate relations with the latter country, it will be a most difficult thing for us to keep out of the conflict. When, therefore, ministers are reproached for not in- dicating precisely the course they intend to pursue, it should be borne in mind that they are to a great extent the creatures of circum- stances that may arise. A CRY HAS OOXB up from London as from a city of dreadful night." It is the cry of outcast London, the plea of its poor, squalid, homeless, if not houseless, hordes of City arabs. the nomads who disgrace our modern civilisa- tion. All this is very dreadful but, piteous as is the appeal, there are quite as many sugges- tions for its remedy. Still, however bad the case, it seems as nothing in comparison with the condition of the Paris ouvriev and what makes the latter case all the more deplorable is that for twenty years and upwards a vast system of State socialism has been going on in Paris, with very little result except to make the condition of the Paris workman worse instead of better. It was in 1853 that the plan of pulling down I the crooked lanes and noisome rookeries of old I Paris was impressed on the Emperor Napoleon, and he began that vast project of re-building the capital on a, magnificent scale, the cost of which has never been fully known. It is estimated, however, that the City of Paris in- curred a debt of £ 24,000,000, and the State itself of no less than 1:120,000;000 in the under- taking. These improvements have undoubtedly raised the, reputation of Paris as the first city in the world for pleasure and luxury blit when we turn to the other side of the question, and ask after the condition of the labouring man. a very different account must be given of the whole affair. In spite of all this continued building, the rent of lodgings for the ouerier class h. as continually mounted up, and is now almost prohibitive. This has resulted in break- ing up the workman's home, and reducing Paris to the condition of a childless city The Haussmann mania f:)r clearing whole quarters of Paris and erecting vast and palatial edifices only ended in displacing the poor, but not in providing them with other quarters. The attempt to meet this evil by erecting special districts for the working classes, cites ouvrierex as they were called, lamentably failed. Work- men declined to be shut up in barracks, and a cite which was built in a suburb for factory girls was called by them La convent (In Pere Maussmaiin. The result of all this crowding- out of the old population is that home life has almost ceased to exist among the laboring classes in Paris. Children are se it out as SIoll as born to baby farmers in the provinces, and the Parisian workman and his wife, released from household cares, soon fall into looso and Bohemian ways, which reduce the marriage tie to the emptiest of form. The result of this is a growing immorality, which rapidly leads on to the dissolution of society and it is easy to see what France would aink to if the whole country were to adopt the Parisian standard of domestic life. As for the babjr-farmers in the country, they offer a direct premium to infant mortality. Twenty-five francs a month, and no questions asked, is the usual charge, and fifty per cent, of these infants die before two years of age. It is eaay to see that under the influence of all these five causes—overcrowding, childlessness, immorality, irreligiousness, and financial robbery—crime has increased to such an alarm- ing extent in Paris that the most drastic legisla- tion has been proposed. We are not sure whether anything will be done in Paris to cope with this growing evil of great cities, which are the plague-spots of modern civilisation. But we may be sure of this, that, b.-d as London is. in many respects the state of Paris is infinitely worse. Here at least there are philanthrophic and religious influences at work to cope with the evil to some extent. Then, again, our pro- posals for clearing sites, and re-erecting on them dwellings for the artisan class are not infected by the Socialist scare which made Napoleon's efforts in that direction worse than useless. A fter all thathadbeen written on the subjectinithePall Malt Gazette, General Booth struck the right note when he said that the root of the difficulty was not material, but moral. It is not so much the wretched dwellings which make the degraded people, as the degraded people who make the wretched dwellings. Both, it is true, go together they act and re-act on each other. If re-building London would ensure the remov al of its moral taint, such is our faith in English energy., that we make sure the required capital would soon be forthcoming. But here it is that we are called upon to face the silent, stony Sphinx, and to guess her riddle. It may be cold comfort to know that other great cities send up a cry as exceeding bitter as that of London but our age has one redeeming virtue, in that it does not ignore its deficiencies. If we do not as yet know the remedy, we are not insensible to the disease. 410- I

JOTTINGS ABO?P THE W3M3 IN I LONDON.  THE WELSH CLtEGIS-" SONGS UNSUNG" BY MR LEWIS MORRIS—THE CYlf.MRODOUtOX SOCIETY. At last the North Wales College Committee has been aroused from its slumber. Weeks have grown into months since the decision as to site was made known, but the Committee showed no sign of con- sciousness. Comparisons not at. all in favor of North Wales have been drawn between t'iis supineness and the energy and activity shown at Cardiff. It has also been the subject of general comment that the decrease; of energy has been in exact proportion to the increase of omdals, When Mr Marcfiant Williams was the sole hon. secretary, however much we mvy have differe-l from him, we could not accuse him of letti.-i-; the grass grow under his feet. Now that there are fonr honorary secretaries, two honorary treasurers, and two organisms; secretaries, the grass grows every- where. Perhaps I am wrong; however, in counting the organising secretaries. I rather think their term of office has expired, but as nothing was ever heard of them save that they were appointed, the slip is pardonable. This period of lotus-eating will. IS pre- sume, soon cease, as I see that Mr CadwalaJr Davies has been appointed secretary or registrar of the college. No better man could be found for the post, as he possesses experience in exactly this kind of wo k I having been for some time Sir Hugh Owen's right., hand man in connection with Aberystwyth College. He is, moreover, a thorough man of business, an able I speaker and writer both of English and Welsh, and he is well known throughout the whole of North Wales. The fact that Mr Davies is so excellent a man for the position, so unmistakably the right man in the right place, makes it so much easier to protest against the hole-and corner principle upon which the appoint- ments by the North Wales Committee have been, made. They never advertised for the organising secretaries, they never advertised for a registrar, in no case have they courted healthy publicity or corn. petition. The reports of the meeting given in the newspapers vary as to whether the appointment- is permanent or temporary. For the sake of the College it is to be hoped that it is permanent, but in either case the principle is the same. In the case of the registrar their selection happens to be most admirable, but unless the subscribers protest against this un- businesslike, unair system 'of close appointment", they will awake one morning t > find the principal posts filled with men some of whom may be nothing better than antiare hncW in mitnd hv\1ao ]It ii stated ihat at tha' the C,)I.tncil I ?fAberyatwyth Cotter Me L?.v?

Poets, he saya, Je they who love, who feel great truth%, And tell them. A writer may have beautiful thoughts, but if hi, readers have to analyse his utterances to discover hiv meaning, he cannot be of much benefit, although he may entertain the curious and may have societies called after his name. Before and above everything give us lucidity. Lewis Morris never leaves us in doubt, his message strikes upon our ears with the clearness of silver bells, and its spirit is always lofty and pure. To turn from some of the poetical literature of the present day to such a volume as Songs Unsung is like stepping out of the hot and close atmosphere of a City, alum on to the slopes of a breezy hillside, there to have our flushed cheeks fanned and our fevered pulses calmed by the sweet and invigorating influence of cool winds laden with the scent of pinewoods, or the saltness of the sea. The songs of which this little volume is made up are thirty in number, and, as the author says of them in his prefatory note, they combine the features of his former works. Of poems on subjects of a religious or metaphysical character there are eight. Chief amongst these stands out the beautiful poam entitled U The New Creed," which is the eloquent powerful protest of one who rebels with all the earnestness of his soul azainat the no-creed which would sweep the Deitv out of exi. stence; and would replace all idea of a future state with hopeless, blank nothingness. A young girl is made the exponent of the New Creed," and after she has laid it bare the poet gives the ar<?ii ment on the other side, traces the Suget of God in aU created thing. .how. how undying is each c?m?i'c? torce," and concludes with the question— AndshaU the life that is the highest th tt we know. Shall this, alone, no more increase, expand, and gro w In the following exquisite lines the writer describes the state of the man who, reading the book of nature, sees God, and seeing doth alore."

Time would fail ma to enter into a detailed descrio tion of each poem, while the difficulty in quoting is where to begin, and, having begun, where to stop. Two) other poems. of soma leaarth which are of religious nature are those called Suffrages and Confession." About half the poems, aroofidei. script! ve character, audi among these IIndOllbtcllv th mmlt intgraating to Welsh readers will be those under the heading In Wild one devoted to a de. scription of the Eistedcivod and the other to a sketch of the Meeting or Preaching Field at one of the great Nonconformist gatherings of Wales. Speaking a* » Welshman, I may perhaps be excused for thinking this latter the gem of the volume. In the scope of I dozen stanzas.
