A marriage has been arranged and will shortly take place between Alfred William, eldest surviving son of the late Mr Richard Bryans, and Phyllis Elsie, elder daughter of Mr R. F. Birch, of Maes Elwy, St. Asaph. The Marquis of Bute on Monday communicated with the Town Clerk of Cardiff, stating that he had grea t pleasure in accepting the office of mayor for the ensuing year, during which the British Association will visit Cardiff. A terrible tragedy has occurred at Cardiff. 111 a boarding-house kept by Anthony Roderick, and hi3 wife, a lodger named David Artharts in a fit of passion caused by some accusation, shot both husband and wife. He was captured after pursuit and lodged in prison. Lord Aberdare has intimated that it is not improbable that the Prince of Wales may attend the opening of the extended premises of Aberyst- wyth College. Lord Aberdare has received reassur. ing replies 0 also from I.ord Granville, Lord Cran- brook, and Sir W. H. Dyke. Mr D. Emlyn Evans, thel well-known Welsh compcser and critic, has just presented to the Library of the Uuiversity College of North Wales, Baj)gor,the original manuscript copy of the first W elsh oratorio ever published, the late Rev E. Stephen's Storm of Tiberias," a work which is still a favorite with the great choral societies of the Principality. At Carnarvon on Tuesday, Gwen A. Davies, licensee of the Black Lion Tavern, was charged with supplying drink to a boy, aged eleven. Mr Llovd Carter, who defended, said that the drink was sold to a sailor, who handed it to the lad with- out the consent of the accused. The beuch dis- missed the summons. The will of the late Mr David Davies, of Bronei- rion, Llandinam, has been proved by his son, Mr Edward Davies, the sole executor. The gross personality amounts to £ 404,424 103 Id. and the net to 9260,135 12s.

Llewelyn, Bart., on Saturday received a deputation from Swansea Town Council, who waited upon him with a view to his accepting the mayoralty next year, which, it is considered, will be an important one owing to the holding of the National Eisteddvod at Swansea. The honor- able baronet expressed his willingness to give his services to forward the success of any movement beneficial to the town. An inquest was held on Monday, at Llany- mynech, on the body of a child, seven years old, daughter of a railway porter. The jury found that death resulted from hemorrhage from the lungs, supervening upon typhoid fever. They wished the Coroner to report the insanitary condition of the house to the Earl of Bradford's agent. They con- sidered no blame was attached to the parents, who did everything that was possible to save it. f At Montgomeryshire Quarter Sessions an appeal was heard against the decision of the magistrates of the Llacfyllin bench in refusing to grant a transfer of the Cross Keys Inn, Llangynog, from Edward Jones to Evan Lewis. The bench sus- tained the appeal, reversing the decision of the court below. A curious feature of the case is that the licence, which only lasted to October 10th of this year, has now actually expired. A special case was asked to be stated, and this was agreed to. John Hole, Bethesda-street, Amlwch, has been summoned by Sergeant Hughes for selling sweet spirit of nitre, which the analyst's report repre- sented as of only one-tenth the strength required. —Mr D. Owen, for the defence, said the wholesale house for which he appeared had sold the sweet spirit of nitre for yf ars, but on account of numerous prosecutions they would in future only sell the quality required by the British Pharmacopoeia.— The case was dismissed upon payment of costs, the superintendent of police being instructed to caution the sellers in the district. The literary committee of the North Wales Provincial Eisteddvod met on Monday night. The Rev. J. R. Rhydwen Parry was elected chairman, and Mr R. O. Hughes (Elfyn), secretary. After a long discussion, it was decided that the chair sub- ject should be a Pryddest (poem), not exceed- ing 500 lines, on Abel." The adjudicators nominated were the Revs. T. Tudno Jones, J. J. Roberta (Iolo Caernarfon), the chaired and crowned bards of Bangor Eisteddvod, and the Rev. H. Elvet Lewis, the crowned bard of last year's Eisteddvod. It was also decided to observe the usual ceremony of holding a Gorsedd and proclaiming the Eisteddvod. Sales under distraint for tithes due to the incumbents of Pennant and Hirnant, Montgomery. shire, were held on Tuesday, the auctioneer being Mr Craft, of Mold, accompanied by Major Godfrey, chief constable of Montgomeryshire, Mr Martin Woosnam, solicitor, Newtown, representing anti- tithepayers. A large crowd accompanied the party, and indulged in a noisy demonstration, but without any breach of the peace. Four farms were visited. At two of them the tenants paid under protest, or otherwise sales were effected. Anti- ithe speeches were made, and on one of the farms an effigy of a clergymau was exhibited amidst booting. On Saturday, a public meeting was held at Llan- gynog, for the purpose of considering the scheme for extending the Shropshire Railway from L!any- blodwell to Llangynog, a distance ot some thirteen miles. There was a large attendance, to hear the views of Sir Richard Green-Price, representing the Shropshire Railways Company. The chair was taken by the Rector (the Rev. Lewis Davies). Resolutions were unanimously passed pledging the meeting to suuport the scheme. Votes of thanks to the Chairman and Sir Richard Green-Price and speakers were passed, and a local committee was formed. There was the greatest enthusiasm evinced. At Bangor on Tuesday, inconvenience was caused by the absence of magistrates. At the hour for commencing Mr Harry Clegg was the only occu- pant of the bench, and was joined twenty minutes later by Mr W. Pughe. Mr R. Gray renewed an ro TT application for a wine licence lor Henry ijavies, Upper Bangor. There was no opposition, but Mr Clegg declined to act, stating that he was a share- holder in the London and North Western Railway Company, and was therefore regarded as a publican and disqualified from acting in licensing cases. Up to the rising of the court no third magistrate was forthcoming, and the application was therefore again adjourned. The Llandudno magistrates on Monday heard a case of more than ordinary interest for local vendors. The defendants, residents of the town, were charged with vending goods within the juris- diction of the Local Commissioners without paying tolls. The defence set up by Mr Osbert Edwards was to the effect that the Legislature never intended to collect tolls from residents and rate- payers, outsiders only being called upon to pay the same. The defendants, as residents, had simply delivered the goods to their 8wn personal customers. The Bench held that the defendants had contravened the local Act by hawking the goods independent of the market tolls, and fined each 58 and costs. A well-known Glamorganshire lady and her maid were touring through Switzerland, and while stay. ing at Martigny, they met a gentleman holding a prominent position in commercial circles at Cardiff. The tourists then drove together to Bourg St Piere, where they began the ascent to St. Bernard Monastery, eight thousand feet, arriving at the monastery in the evening. The visitors were pro- vided by the monks with apartments for the night. At midnight, howevei, three Italian soldiers, para- ding the corridors, burst open the bedroom doors and committed grave assaults upon the ladies, who rushed into the corridors. The monks were aroused, and had the soldiers arrested and flogged. They were subsequently tried by court-martial, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and the tourists immediately returned to England.

BORDER NOTES. During the time the dog muzzling order was in force in Birkenhead nearly 400 persons were pro- ceeded against for contravening the order. A young farmer named Wm. Badilley, of Dodcot- cum-Wilkesley, Audlem, while shifting cattle in a field, cut his hand on a barbed wire fence, and blood poisoning set in. The police made raids on a number of the prin- cipal betting clubs in Liverpool on Wednesday, in anticipation of yesterday's race. The clubs were very full at the time. A fire broke out on Sunday mornn-a in a large cotton warehouse in Queen-street, Liverpool, and despite the efforts of the fire brigade a large portion of the building was destroyed, with about 3,000 bales of cotton. Whilst the fire was burning a wall fell, and several firemen had a narrow escape of being crushed. A number of foreign cattle that were being driven towards the Stanley Cattle Market, Liver- pool, on Sunday afternoon took fright, and ran in several directions. One bull got into Lord-street, and severely gored a policeman who attempted to stop its career. The animal was ultimately captured, whilst the police officer had to go off duty. On Saturday night when the 6.5 Great Western train from Chester to Birmingham reached Wolver- hampton at 9.30 there was discovered in the vacuum brake mechanism a human head, completely severed from the body, and fearfully injured. The trunk was afterwards found at Albrighton. The deceased has been identified as Mr James, aged forty-five years, farm bailiff to Mr Horton, of Ruckley Wood, Shifnal. He leaves a widow and seven children. At St. Helens on Friday, a man named Cassons was charged with not providing the necessaries of life for his wife and children. He had only given his wife 13d for the last twelve weeks, and the children were sent to beg, the proceeds of which the defendant ate. Otherevidencehavingbeen given as to the wretched condition of the family, Cassons was sent to prison for two months. On Saturday morning P.C. Porter, at Cheadle, Cheshire, arrested a man who gave the name of John Weston, and paid he resided at Oldham-road, Manchester. In his possession were found a jemmy, keys, and other burglarious appliances, besides about £3, subsequently discovered to be the proceeds of a burglary on the premises of Mr Thomas Davenpoit, grocer and corn dealer, Gatley. An important licensing decision was given by the Liverpool magistrates on Friday. Several applications for the transfer of publicans' licences were heard, and in every case particular inquiry was made as to whether the applicants were owners or tenants of premises. In twc cases transfers were refused, on the ground that the applicants were only managers. Following these decisions two applications by managers were with- drawn. In the capes refused the housea were owned by brewer. who paid the tates and taxes. A shocking accident happened at Crewe on Mon- day to Mr George Siddall, sen., draughtsman, employed by the London and North Western Raii. way Company. Mr Siddall was crossing the line, and was knocked down and run over by an engine and carriage. He was removed to the railway com- pany's hospital, but died on the way. Deceased was a well-known temperance reformer, and much respected in railway circles. He leaves eight children. The crew of the Spanish brig Villa Del Laniez, which left Liverpool on Tuesday week, are all drowned. In addition to her captain and eleven others, there was on board a Liverpool pilot named Brown, whose body was on Monday washed on the Cheshire shore. The brig must have met the full force of the storm last Wednesday and Thursday, for she was left by the tug at the Mersey bar, and later was reported off the Ormes Head. Doubtless she was returning to Liverpool when she stranded in Liverpool Bay, where her hull was found on Monday with a quantity of wreckage. The following letter was read on Tuesday at Chester Board of Guardians Mr DEAR fIR,-I hope that you will excuse me for taking the liberty of writia to you, sir, but owin to me hein a widder, and havin no me to took after me or my to children, witch is tamed 11 and 13 years of age, I hive been persuaded to aply to you, as 1 may find a suitai le wife in your tstabli-hment, and itS I wish to marry again I apliy to you, sir..

The general meeting of the stockholders of the River Dee Land Company was held on Friday in London. Mr H. N. Williams, who presided, re- ported that since the last meeting in April no matters of great importance had arisen affecting their property. The propeity continued well let, and the lands and buildings were in good condition. Negotiations were pending for the sale of portions of the lands at advantageous prices, and changes had been made in the letting of various holdings which would materially increase the rentals. The River Dee Conservancy Board were proceeding with the works for the improvement of the navigation, and it was understood that considerable benefit had already resulted from the preliminary works. Owing to causes beyond the control of the directors, the sales to the Manchester. Sheffield, and Lincoln- shire, and the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Qupy Railway Companies had not yet been completed but he was informed that completion would take place shortly.

LI13EEAL ASSOCIATION TOII I FLINTSHIRE. On Saturday a numerously attended meeting, con- fisting of delegates from each of the polling districts in the ccunty of Fiint, was held at the Liberal Club, Rhyl, to consider the advi-ability of forming a county Liberal association for Flintshire. Mr J. Herbert Lewis, J.P., was voted to the chair, and, in the course of his opening remarks, said he inferred, from the large j number of delegates present, that there was a strong desire that a county Liberal association should be formed. In anticipation of that, draft rules had been prepared by a number of Liberal county COUl!Cil107R, who tJok the opportunity of their frequent meeting with each other at Mold to go into this question, so that something definite might be brought before that meeting. For his own part he was strongly in favour of the forming of a central association, and hoped that as a result of that meeting they would have this much desired organisation tor the county ot mnt. lAP- plauee).—It was then formally proposed, seconded, and carried that a County Liberal Association b3 for- med for Flintshire. Afterwards a long discussion en- sued as to the desirability or otherwise of inviting the existing borough association to amalgamate, but even- tually it was decided that the two should be distinct and separate associations. The draft rules were then considered and approved, subject to some slight modi- fications. The objects of the association are-(I) To promote and maintain the Liberal representation of tie countyof Flint; (2) to attend to the registration of voters; (3) to promote the extension of Liberal principles in the government of the country. The executive committee will consist of the officsrs of the association and one member elected annually by each polling district having 500 or fewer electors, and cna for every 500, or fraction of 500 above that number also of co-optative members (not exceeding seven in number), chosen by the aforesaid membars.- Mr J. Herbert Lewis, J.P., was unanimously elected president of the Association, and the following gentle- men were elected vice-presidents, viz. Messrs Samuel Smith, M.P., John Roberts, M.P., R. Howard, J.P.. J. Herbert Roberts. J. P., T. L. Mns- pratt, J.P., W. DavieB, Caergwrle; M. A. Rail Brynbella; Sam Perks, J.P., Jas. Renev, Connah's Quay; W. Johnson, J. P., Broughton E. K. Mus- pratt, J.P., Liverpool; and Dr. Eastsrbv, St. Asaph. The Holywell representatives not being prepared with a nominee, it was agreed to allow the Holywell Association to appoint a vice-president for that dis- trict. Mr Henry Hurlbutt, J.P., Connah's Quay, wa elected honorary treasurer, and Mr P. Harding Rol-.eit-, Holywell, secretary. Messrs P. Mostyn Williams and J. Morgan, M> Id, the present registra- tion agents, were requested to continue to act in that capacity. Mr Wm. Williams, Rhyl, was appointed as the representative of the Association on the com- mittee of the North Wales Liberal Federation, and Mr J. L. Muspratt, J.P., was elected to represent the boroughs upon the committee. It was decided to also nominate the following gentlemen for seats on the committee at the approaching annual meeting of the Federation at Llandudno, viz. :-Dr. Edwards, Mold; Rev. J. Davies, Bistre; and Air Evan Bryan, Holy- well. The President and Mr Wm. JunE". Holywell, were nominated as the representatives of the Associa- ,It .?, tion on the general committee of the National Liberal Federation, and a number of gentlemen were de- puted ti attend the annual meeting of the Council of the Federation at Sheffield.

The Bishop of CheLter was on Tuesday presented by the Duke of Westminster, in the name of the clergy and laity of the diocese, with a richly ornamented pastoral staff. A central visitation was afterwards held in the Cathedral, the Bishop delivering the charge, in which he enforced the necessity for due proportion in all branches of Church work. Under the auspices ot the Liverpool Church of England Sunday School Institute, the Dean c.f St. Asaph preached a sermon, on Monday evening, to Sunday School teachers, Monday being the day set apart for a service of united intercession. The Dean preached to members of the North Meols Rural Deanery Sunday Schools Association, on Tuesday evening, at St. Andrew's Church, South- Dort. Mr Robert Davies, Bocllondeb, Menai Bridge, has promised 9250 each to the English Presbyterian Churches at Holyhead, Mold, Colwyn Bay, and Llandudno. His brother, Mr Richard Davies (Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey), had previously promised £100 towards the cause at Holyhead, which is in a very flourishing condition, a new chapel being in the course of erection now. At present the con- gregation is worshipping in an upper room of the Town Hall. A sale of work was opened at the Town HaP, Chester, on Friday, in aid of the Saituey new church fund. As the population of Saltney is over 3,000, and the present church is a mile dibtint from the majority of the Dfople, it is desired to build a church to seat about 400 worshippers, and for this purpose some CL3,000 will be required. The Rev. T. P. Dimond Hogg having referred to the object of the sale, making special allusion also to the ttall of the Saltney Working Meeting," the articles of which, valued at about JE80, had all been made or given by parishioners, the Duke of W estminster expressed thorough sympathy with the work, and the Duchess opened the sale. Mrs Gladstone, Mrs Drew, and Miss Helen Gladstone were among those present, and made an inspection of the stalls, which were beautifully decorated with art muslin.

THE CHUUCH CONGRESS OF 1891. I MEETING aT RHYL- « i i i, On Friday a large gathering ot cieriey anl1 laity or North Wales w"s held at the Town Ha! Rhyl, to make arrangements for the holding of the Church Congress in Rhyl, in October next. The Bishop 3f St. Asaph presidei', being ruppoited by the Dean of St. Asaph, Archdeacons EIllry (permanent Becretaiy of the Church Congress), Watkin Williams (St. Asaph), and D. Howell (Wrexham),. Canon Howell Evans, (Rhyi), the Hon. Henry Moatyn, Colonel Hughes, Colonel Hore, Colonel Mesham, and ottiers.-The Chairman said it appealed to him that by their pre- sence that afternoon they were all satisfied that the Church Congress was coming not. merely to the diocese of St. Asapb, but to Xurth Wales, where the Church Congress hacirever been held. It was true that Noith Wales had not got any great centres of population lik, those towns where the Church Congress had been held before but it mutt be borne in mind that tlit-y in Rhyl were within easy reach of the large towns such as Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, and Lon- don could be reached in live hours. The tiitt words he ouht to say weie those of hearty welcome to the Church Congress. He was ceitain that they would d, their best in that diocese, as well in the other diocese of North Wales, and theadjoiningdioceseof Chester,to en. sure tie success of the Congress at Rhyl. He had nrmt pleasure in proposing the folllowingreaolution:—"That this meeting coidiaiiy welcomes tiie Church Congress to Riivl, and will do all in its power to promote i: s success, relying on the sympathy and help of church- men throughout the whole of England as well as the Principality." (Applause.) -Tiie Hon. Henry Mostyn seconded the motion.—Canon Howell Evans, in sup- porting the resolution, said he was expressing the views cf himself and neighbors that they most must thoroughly appreciated the honor which had I been conferred upon them in being permitted to enter. tain the Church Congress at Rhyl. They could nit, however, have faced the responsibility of a movement of this kind unless they felt thoroughly convinced that their efforts would be backed up by their friends in the surrounding dioceses, and also that they would carry with them the sympathy of their 1rethren in Eiiglatid.-Tlie motion having bren supported by Col. Hughes and the Rev. W. Venables Williams, was carried.—The Bishop, before calling on the next speaker, intimated that he had had the pleasure of meeting the Bishop ot Bangor on this subject and he had consented to preach the Welsh sermon.— Archdeacon Emery, who was introduced by the chairman as the father of the Church Congress, said he thought that that meeting, which had been hastily summoned, was a good augury for the holding of the Church Congress in Rhyl. They had long wished to come to North Wales, but had not been able to accept any invitation until they received the one from the diocese of St. Asaph and when he mentioned to the Bishop of Durham the conclusion the meeting had come to, he said, If you had asked me where the next Church Congress should go, I should have said the diocese of St. Asaph." (Applause.) He had that morning had a look around the town, and found they had every possible accommodation for a large congress, and he hoped it would go out that if Churchmen would come in numbers of 3 000 or 4,000 or more there was perfect accommodation in Rhyl and neighbourhood to receive them well and heartily. He had no doubt whatever as to the public accommodation Rhyl could afford to the congress, nor had he any doubt as to the private accommodation that could be given. There was an additional inducement for Churchmen to come to Rhyl from far as well as near because of the peculiarly pleasant surroundings of Rhyl and neighbourhood therefore he looked forward with very great certainty to having in Rhyl a congress worthy of ranking with any they had held elsewhere. In addition to the Bishop of Bangor, who had consented to preach the Welsh sermon, the Bishop of Chester had also expressed his desire to help forward the movement in every way. He then went on to speak d the management of the congress, and con. eluded by moving a resolution to the effect that a pro- visional committee be appointed to select a general committee, and take other prelissinary steps for organising the congress.-Tliis was seconded by Mr T. Ll. Murray Browne, and carried.—The committee was afterwards appointed, and inclsded Lord Mostyn, the Right Hon. H. Cecil Raikes. M. P.. Mr E. Waitiey. M.P., the Dean of Ontario, and the Hon. H. Mostyn. The Bishop nominated the following gentlemen to act as secretaries ;—Col. Hore, Mr R. M. Hutfh Jonef, Col. Sackville West, Rev. J. Morgan (Llandudno), and the Rev. J. F. Reece (Llan- fwrog.)-Col. Mesham next proposed, and the Rev. W. Morgan seconded, that a guarantee fund be opened. This motion having been carried, a list was handed around the room, and a sum of upwards of £1,000 guaranteed.—Resolutions of thanks were carried to Archdeacon Emery and tie Bishop of St. Asaph for presiding.—The Bishop, in acknowledging the vote, said the Conference would be held on October 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9t:t in next year.

Three thousand miners struck work in the neigh- bourhood of Charleroi, Belgium, on Saturday, for increased wages. On Saturday a demonstration of the men employed in the Royal dockyard was held at Ports- mouth, when a resolution was passed in favor of an eight hours working day, and the format:on of a trade union for all trades employed. Official notice has been issued to the various miners' associations in the United Kingdom calling a meeting, to be held at Bristol on November Ilth, under the presidency of Mr Pickard, M.P. The chief question is the Eight Hours Bill. Important suggestions for consideration have been sent in. Leicester proposes a ballot to test the willingness of the men to strike for eight hours a day. Lanca- shire proposes that no strike shall be undertaken without a previous ballot. Cumberland and Lanca- shire unite in proposing a five days a week system. The house-coal miners in the Rhondda and adjacent valleys resolved, at a mass meeting on Monday, to secure the adoption of the eight hours system by organization.

RUSSIAN WORKMEN IN WALES. Considerable consternation halt been created throughout the Welsh tinplate districts by the arrival of a number of Russian workmen, who, it is alleged, are seeking employment at the Welsh tinplate works, with a view to finding out how block plates are made in this country, with the object of closing the market against British manufacturers. Experiments have. it is stated, been carried on in Russia for some months, but without success. A circular has been issued to Welsh tinplate manufacturers to combine against this innovation.

ABILITY.—The following sfcoiy WAS told at a dinner recently held in Wrexham :-A certain priest in Ireland was discoursing upon the feeding of the five thousand with the five barley loaves and the two pmali ifshes. In his eloquence, the good man got carried away and saiu Imagine my brethren the power of one mau being able to feed five people with five thousand barley loaves and two small ifshes." He taused and Pat Flannigan being much impressed by the Priest's earnestness, and considering the observation was addressed to him, burst out with Indade, your reverence, but I could do the same myself." After the service the Priest declared that he would be evtn< with Pat, and on the followiuu Sunday took the same text, but when he came to the sentence which caused the interruption was very careful to fay" Imagine, my brethren, the power of one man being able to feed five thousand people with five bar-Iej loaves and two small fishes." He then stopped, glanced towards Pat, and asked Can you bast that ?" Pat replieil, "I belave I could, sorr-, with the laviEgS from last Sunday."

MERIONETHSHIRE BATTALION OF I VOLUNTEERS. I A largely attended meeting was held at Towyn on Saturday, under the presidency of Mr J. Chidlaw Roberts. Amongst those present were-Dr. Grosholz, Mr Marshall, of Dolgelley, Capt. Sheriff Robertti, Capt. Norgate, Northamptonshire Regiment, and Mr J. Charles Hughes, of Dolgelley, the initiator of the movement in the county, and Sergt.-Instructor-of- Musketry Jones, of Wrexham. Mr J. Charles Hughes spoke at some length, and pointed out that though there might be no connection between his profession and the military profession, stiil if carried out properly volunteering in the country had as well in its military aspect a social one. A company in a local town might be the means of bringing together men whose opinions on some matters diSered widely, I with one common object in view-the encouragement of goodwill and right fellowship. (Hear, hear.) It also brought into prominence local town, and mi?ht be the means of establishing cluba, &c. (Applause.)—The meeting was also ad- dressed by Sergt. Jones, who may justly he said to be the father of Volunteering in Denbighshire. The Sergeant delivered a telling addresfy Which lost none I of its weight by the soldierly and manly bearing of the speaker. Every prospect of BUC511 appears to atter.d the movement in Towyn. Sergt.-Instructor Jones said :-Afirer many years experience, I would strongly urge upon the young men of Towyn and its neighbourhood the advantages of belonging to a Volunteer Corps, Independently of its physical benefits, I think it an honor to belong to a Volunteer force of over 250,900 men, ready at any time if called upon to defend their hearths and homes against the world in arms.. (Cheers.) Welsh- men from time immemorial have been celebrated for their valor and pauiotUm. and have recorded their deeds in blood in many a hard,won victory. (Cheer?.) But the motto of the Volunteers is Defence, not I defiance." (Hear, hear.) Therefore, I trust that there will be no difficulty in raising a company here I to increase the numbers of that magnificent Volunteer army of eelf-denying and patriotic men, who for thirty years have been a tower of btrength to the country, saved it from the evils of conscription, and are the envy and admiration of the civilised world, (Loud cheers.) Besides its physical r: dvant ages, its mental and social ones are not to be lost eight rf, because the duties and training teach the Volunteer to think, and his mem- bership rubs away the rough edges of social class distinction, for the man mast be incapable of im- provement who does not gain by having as a com- rade and friend men of greater education, culture, and position than himself. (Hear. hear.) Lord Woleelev in a speech at the Sheffield Cutlers' Feast, said, When I see a soldier or a Volunteer I do not see simply a man in a uniform, but a comrade and a friend," and thus freemasonry goes through the Army and Volunteers. (Hear hear.) We have in the Wrexham Companies marksmen of whom we are, and North Wales ought to be, proud of. Amr.ngst others I might mention Corporal Charles Lewis Hey wood, who, at tl e Bis'.ey meeting this year in the competition for the Daily Telegraph Prize, was bracketed second, out of over 1,800 competitors, with a score of 34 points out of a possible 35 at 600 yards, for which he received a prizs of 212 10'. (Cheers). He also won 9,1 and a badge it. the St. George's Prias, and we have three brothers, named Fred. Horatio, and Kerrison Jones, who would be an honor to any battalion. At the meetings of the National Rifle Association at Wimbledon in 1889, and at Bisley this year, the Brothers Jones won prizes to the value of £ i40. (Cheers.) Sergt. Jones then referred to Private Fred Jones' excellent record as a marks- man. Continuing, he said I am afraid you will think by alluding to Fred Jones I am indirectly blowing my own trumpet, but I regret to say that, although he bears the 811me distinguished and uncommon name as myself, he is in no way a relation. (Laughter.) But I do hope he will one day bring home the Queen's Priza for the honor of North Wales, and that before long we shaH be reading of the feats of the marks- inpnship of the Towyn Company of Volunteers. (Cheers.)

LORD SALISBURY AND MR. I OSBORNE MORGAN. The Pre-.i Association having published a letter in which Lord Salisbury, through his private secretary, characterised a passage in Mr Osborne Morgan's speech at Eccles, as reported in the Manchester paper. as a pura invention, Mr Osborne Morgan has replied as fo-lows The language which I aHiibuted to Lord Salisbury was used by him though the report of what I said was mots- sarily very much condensed. I now repeat my assertions. Firstly, that in or.e of his s eechfs, I think at Liverpool, Lord Salisbury compared the Irish Nationalists to Hotten- tots." Second!y, that he stated that it would take twenty years of resolute government to reduce the Irish party to sub- mission, or used words to that effect Thirdly, that on another occasion he endeavoured to throw ridicule and discredit on one of the most eloquent and dis- tinguished of his Indian fellow-subjects-a political op- ponent "-by contemptuously calling him a "■ black man." I noted down all these expressions at the timi-, and I am certain that I have given them correctly. They are subsfan- tially what I said at Eccles, and anyone who has access to the back files of the daily newspapers may verify them for t. t LoJ.IU::=C& I October 20th, 1S90. G. OSBORNE MORGAN.
