ARCHIDIACONAL VISITATION. -■ Tha v:.ùal visitation of the Ven. Archdeacon ifforth was made (as announced in last week's issue) Ae this town on Friday week, when service was held ia St Michael's church at 12.30, and the attendance the clergy and churchwardens was larger than it been known to be for several years past. It was kitted that there was only one country parish unre- presented, the churchwarden in this case being too 'Ottwcll to attend. The following is a list of those /*ho attended Revs J.

At the close of the business the company adjourned to the Lion Royal Hotel, where a discussion on several .^uurch matters was raised by Archdeacon North. 'The Ten. gentleman said the time was very limited in ^onsequence of the necessity of fixing on a late hour assembling at the church, and he must confine X* remarks to a very limited space. He thanked tàell1 very much for complying with his citation so and he looked forward with anxious "ttlterest, and he would invite their common discussion, 'Il1O that he might have the advantage of their '^JPerien«e, and that by their common council they be at least none the worse for coming together, proposed to deal with some of the bills now Process in Parliament, one of which was |passing fough committee in the Upper House. He wished 5nto e to the bill which was arousing the greatest *-erest on the part of the clergy an J on the part of ■jOeo who had to pay tithes, and, again, he wished to JQJ, e reserved in the second part of the programme ^8h°rt address proposed to be delivered by his • 6 ^ev ^l°yd Williams) who represented 5fca»i lety ^or the Propagation of the Gospel, who was address the churchwardens upon the subject •as!iS-0nar^ en^erprise. He said there was an Act Pila which they were familiar with, called JKJ • alities Amendment Act, and that Act was th Df reproduced. He called special attention ^jred^v! se dea^nS with services in Wales, and "fcside f *n ^he dioceses of Wales provision must be cl 6 Welsh people, and he did not agree with which the Bishops were not empowered ■Sanrf61 •n upon one Welsh service every s*dTfvif'1D eac^ parish. One would think that the i ought to know something about ^^lirements of the Welsh people, but to speak one service in Welsh was to speak of that as a t Wa* absurd. He did blame those who ought 'patched the process of the bill and prevented a limitation as that. It was very hard, when of the population was so largely Welsh, ^*tint them of Welsh services, and he felt sorely '^ori l • P°^n''1 no^ because he wished to seek ;?Pttlarity, but he did feel most strongly in sympathy Welsh majority of their parishioners (ap- S?i There must be some alteration, or the -rch would go to the wall. Presuming that bill •%lHrtJ:arried into effect it would cause an awakening the Welsh people, their distaste, disgust, and j^hdrawal. and then disestablishment would "^SJU^dly come. The Bishop of St. Asaph proposed "? in this clause, which would enable the S^oop to use his discretion and authority for giving parishes what was their due. He then alluded to clause, which he said would be an advantage clergy of this part of Wales. They knew that Endowments of parishes, speaking generally, were "tinted, and tby an Act brought forward by .IjhuuldLIanover if was forbidden that anyone le^e^ed "old more than two benefices if they a year asd were two miles apart; foo,. ,Was proposed to extend it to < £ 200 and over *fn.- es. The Church itself, he said, was in a very position. Internally, he was rejoiced to know it waa keopmgf its level, and its voice was j^RWous, and he believed it would become more and so. In this respect their outlook was gratify- j?&; they had those who were leaders in the estab- j**Uoent of many movements which would be to the advantage of the country but they had also movements, and they could not expect all as a flowing river there were others who arouse storms, and who, advancing by parties, J?0t ^rielld^ to the Church, and he urged toe"*1 hearers the necessity of their doing all in jj Power to propagate the principles of the Church. ^then proceeded to touch upon the question of the and bill relating to this matter which had ^.brought forward in the House of Lords. It pro- transfer the tithe rent charge from the to the landowner, by whom it was to be paid r^Hit b This was provided for in the Act of 1836, another Act and by private arrangement pay- v.Wa,i ma(^c by the tenant, and such arrangement vt produced eollision. A second part of the bill "tjyJ Ca'^e<i the redemption of tithe, by which the charge once for all should be dispensed I this bill there was one advantage—that Sfc^fiators, lay and clerical,and titheowners should ler 011 same le^cl and the same footing. Qte na€r advantage he pointed out was that in future raent would be based on the average of seven So that if one seven years did not come up to a 111 amount the next seven years might realise his The next point was the provision in the bill K cbar&e was to be recovered not by dis- but as a simple debt by going into the County „aild thus recovering the claim. He took the of the rate of rent charge where the produce of was not sufficient to pay the tithe, then they SjfjW refer the case to the County Court, and the Sao8 Was t° appoint a person to value the land, and ^hat amount it actually did produce. Referring compulsory redemption of tithes, he said it had decided that the rate at which the redemption be made was 20 years' purchase, and it was !Sed that this was too low. In the first Act of 1836 wras 25 years, and in Ireland 22 £ years. It seemed the redemption was to be lodged with the "^fciowmcnt Trustees, and then must be invested in security, such as Government, or to redeem the tax, or public loans, and it was believed that amount produced would be £ 90 as compared with 4J106 of 1836. The whole question of tithes was thinking of; it was supposed that the sum total of paid was about j64,000,000, but it was actually by ten per cent, besides other charges to a Matchless sum. On the whole he thought the bill Verthy of their support, and he asked for an expres- sion of their opinion upon it. The Eev J. Pugh proposed a resolution that the Meeting agreed with the suggestions made by the Ven. Archdeacon. He thought they were all very good first, to put the payment of titbes on the landowners not on the tenant. There was no doubt that the citation now going on in North Wales and in seme tatta of South Wales, was made against the Church the clergy, and the ringleaders of the agitation, J[wo tried to persuade many farmers who were willing pay the tithes against doing so in several instances as to get at the clergy. In this neighbourhood aulat of the tithes had been alienated from the Churoh, Amd were now in possession of laymen, and conse- ygntly they found no agitation in this part of the because the tithes where paid to laymen and 1Int to the clergy. If this clause in the bill of pay- taemt by the landlords were passed, the ringleaders the agitation would not have the same ground to WOtk upon as they had at present, and he believed they would have to try something else. With regard Co the payment of tithes, the present mode of dis- count was not very agreeable, and caused great commotion throughout the Principality, therefore "tfee simple proposal to raise the tithes, if not paid like a common debt would be a great improvement, and a great deal of the high feeling of the country Vould be done away with. He pointed out that the tithe was put upon the land, and not upon the individual; it was the property of the Church from time immemorial, and the Church had a right to it as ameh as aay one had a right to their own. If this loll was carried he was convinced that the agitators must look for some other cause of complaint against He Church, which was gaining ground every day, and if she was left alone for ten or fifteen years he Ijelieved they would be able to defy the enemy (hear, &ear). The Rev J. H. Protheroe seconded the motion, say- iogthat he quite felt what had been said by the Arch- cmwcou and Mr Pugh but there were difficulties no 4Ioabt bristling in the whole bill, and it was im- possible to find any solution which would satisfy .body. He quite felt the many points of diffi- culty. Alluding to the point as to whether the pro- cess of enforcing payment by County Court would be an advantage, he asked them to take the case of a non-resident landlord, who might be here and there and all over the world, and it would be a dlffioult matter to find him, and the poor clergyman would have to wait a long time before he could bring it home to him. But in looking at this matter the first question he put to himself was, is the present arrange- ment satisfactory? He thought everybody must admit that it was not. Next, can the question be solved otherwise than by legislation? Then he was obliged tolsay it must be by legislation. And then, can the legislation be in better hands than at present ? To which he answered, No, certainly not. Then he supported the present measure (hear, hear.) The Rev J. M. Griffiths, who spoke in Welsh, said he looked with favour on the bill, and especially on the redemption clause. He had made a rough calcu- lation, and he showed that out of the £ 100 tithes after taking the depreciation in value, owing to tne cost of collection, rates and taxes, Ac., for this year, the total amount received by the titbe-owner _*on d be .£70 18s, while the redemption, at 20 years pur- chase of £ 100, would amount to £ 2,000 capital, which Tnertent would yield £ 60 per annum in per- Detuity and at 3* it would be £ 70, which would only be lSs per cent, less than the value for this year, and he feared that the value of and that in a few years the £ 100 in tithes would not yiThemresolutionPwas ^rricd unanimously and the Ven Archdeacon thanked them very much for the p-K-^pllent discussion which had taken place. The Rev D. Lloyd Williams, representative of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, next ad- dressed the meeting,and said that it afforded him great pleasure to come there on behalf of the society, whose primary object was to provide the means of gospel for their countrymen in the colonies, and, secondly, to provide for the heathen world, and especially because it was the oldest society in con- nection with their own Church doing such work, it having been in existence for 99 years before any other society in connection with their own Church, and was the only society, generally speaking, that had provided for their countrymen in the colonies. The principles upon which they worked were those of the Church. Sometimes they were told that they were a little biftoo high Church, and sometimes they were told that they were a little bit too low Church (laughter), but they were never told that they were no Church. It was a Church society-part and par- cel of the very life of the Church; they recognised no party, while they welcomed all parties. Those who were chief in authority in the Church were chief in authority in this society, among them being the two Archbishops and the Bishop of London, who, he thought, would be accepted as representative men. Referring to the work done by the society during the past 186 years, he said that first of all missionaries went out to the northern part of British America, where they found their own countrymen living in a state of total heathenism, having actually forgotten the day of the week and God's day fathers and mothers were never married, and everybody lived in darkness. One bishop was sent, and a marvellous change had taken place. Now they had 70 bishops and 3,600 clergy, with a larger number of adherents than the whole population of Wales, counting every man, woman, and child. It had been said that some day their own Canada would be a mightier nation than even the United States, and there again the Church was making wonderful progress. Some few years ago there was only one clergyman of the Church of England to be found in this vast territory but by to-day they had three dioceses. They had 300 clergy who were independent and self-supporting, with 300 churches, out of which 147 had been built in the diocese of one bishop. In northern Canada the demand upon the society was very great, the influx of population into the province of Manitoba alone, where clergymen were wanted, being 3,000 a week. For every penny given by the society those people raised 5d, and not only did they raise money, but they were making noble efforts, which were crowned with success, in providing their ministers with lay helpers. He gave one instance of this kind, and then proceeded to refer te New Zealand, which had been, through the influence of the society, covered with a network of Church work, having at the present time three bishoprics, 600 clergy, and thousands attached to and working in the same faith. They had spent £ 250,0:)0 on the Church, while the yearly contribution of the society was only Jg300. Newfoundland, again, was one of the poorest and coldest of countries, and now 18 out of every 20 were Churchpeople, while 50 years ago the people had to go 60 miles in order to be lawfully and legally married. Now the Church had covered the whole country. He then referred to the great work which was being carried on in India, where Christianity had multiplied a hundredfold within the last hundred years. For India, he said, they wanted good heads as well as good hearts. He concluded by making an urgent appeal on behalf of the society, the funds of which had fallen oS.82.000a year. When the Church would lose her missionary zeal she must lose her life, because missionary zeal was her life blood, and in this archdeaconry he regretted to say that out of the 113 parishes only twelve contributed anything. A man at Carmarthen had said, We are ashamed to send you small sums." He said that was false pride they did not care for the amount, but they wanted all the churches to do something. This was the work of the whole Church-it was the work of Christ Himself-it was for this purpose that the Son of God was manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil. He asked them to pass a resolution expressing their desire to record their most cordial co-operation with the society (hear, hear). Rev Prebendary Williams agreed with the impor- tance of this society being duly supported by the clergy everywhere. They had been carrying on a very noble work in the mission field, and this society in particular had been attending to the wants of their own people who had emigrated to the colonies, and therefore it had a claim upon them on behalf of their own kith and kin who had been obliged to earn their bread beyond the seas (applause). The Rev J. M. Griffiths said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion, and he was very glad to hear that the society would be thankful for small donations. Many of the churches could not afford to give much, but they could afford to give a little, and he was per- fectly sure that if a collection was made in every Church throughout the archdeaconry of Cardigan and the proceeds devoted between the two Church societies—some might prefer sending their contribu- tions to the Church Missionary Society, and others might prefer sending them to this society—a fair sum would be realised, and he hoped that no church would be without a collection during the coming year towards either or both societies (hear, hear). The resolution having been unanimously agreed to, the party adjourned to another room, where Mr and Mrs Roberts had provided a splendid cold luncheon, which was admirably well served up. After luncheon, The Ven. Archdeacon North said they were loyal to the Bishop of the diocese and he was also re- minded that this was the jubilee year, and he in- cluded in the toast the Queen, royal family, and the Bishop of the diocese (hear, hear). The Rev J. Pugh said the toast that he had to pro- pose would be sincerely and warmly received by all present it was the health of the Venerable Arch- deacon (hear, hear). He had, in the first place, to express their deep sympathy with him in his sad bereavement since he held his last VIsltatlOn he al- luded to the death of Mrs North. It must have been a terrible blow to him, in the evening of his life,after having brought up so large a family, and having cheered and consoled each other for so many years, the parting must have been a heartbreaking one. But he had Christian resignation and fortitude to say even in that dark hour, God's will be done." And in proposing his health they all wished him all the Christian consolation that could be bestowed upon a good and Christian man (hear, hear). The Ven. Archdeacon North who was deeply affected, said their kindness had touched him deeply; after the months of sorrow which he could not cast aside he thanked Mr Pugh and all present for their kindness. He had received a suc- cession of blows, and was at that moment living in great anxiety about one who was very dear to him. He could sincerely express his feelings that there was no part of the diocese where he was received with more warmth of feeling and geniality than by the clergy in this part of the county, and he had always great pleasure in coming there. He then briefly alluded to the subjects which had been under discussion that morning, and especially referred to the foreign missions of the Church, in which from the earliest ministrations of his youth he had been deeply interested, and they could all sympathise with the far-away working men. In proposing the health of the rural dean (Mr Pugh), he said he had been an very old friend of his. Mr Pugh had entered into his (the speaker's) domestic circle, and he referred to Mr Pugh's dear mother-in-law, and also his father-in-law, whom he spoke of as most exemplary persons. He also spoke of Mr Pugh's preferment to the rural deanery in a most kind way. Mr Pugh said the Bishop offered him the office of rural dean, which he neither expected nor deserved (" Yes, yes "); but as he had done so, in fear and hope he should do his best to carry out the wishes of his lordship in this part of his episcopal diocese. A meeting of the clergy and laity had been held, and they had laid down two things to be done, the first of which was the carrying out of choral festivals. That work was already going on, one festival having been held, and another was to take place at Llanfi- hangel-y-Creuddyn. Another step was to improve the Sunday schools, for which they were about to I get catechism books. He said that he should be happy to co-operate with the clergy in every good Work (hear hear). The Archdeacon said it was due from them they should recognise the value of the new biood which had been introduced into their midst, but before he did that he alluded to the fact that two rural deans had departed from their midst during the past year. In one case they had lost their friend Sir Octavius Davies, whose withdrawal had been a matter of universal regret. He was a kind friend, and his genial smile made him a warm friend of all whom he met. Everyone of them felt that they had lost a friend and an efficient member of the Church. He next referred to the Rev Henry Morgan, who had been a friend of his for many years. Mr Morgan was an eloquent preacher, and a man of peculiar excel- lence, commanding the respect of a large circle, who looked up to him in his position as a clergyman and rural dean. He then referred to the coming of two of their brethren into Aberystwyth-(the Rev J. H. Protheroe and the Rev Prebendary Williams)—who had received the welcome of everyone in this county and whose coming was to the advantage of the place! wiWere £ eutlemen who held prominent positions and they were both distinguished by special talents' and were likely to advance the cause of the Church. He also referred to the Rev J. M. Griffiths, who had been introduced into the country districts, whom, he said, he had known for many years in his previous parish where he was very successful. He proposed the health of these three gentlemen (hear, hear). W-.V ee £ entlemen responded. The Rev D. Lloyd Williams proposed the health of the churchwardens, terra*10 Wynne replied, and the proceedings
WELSH ITEMS.
WELSH ITEMS. The appointment to the Cardiff stipendaryehip of Mr 1. W. Lewis, the youngest son of Mr T. W. Lewis, of Merthyr, and brother of Sir W. T. Lewis, the Marquis^ of Bate's agent at Cardiff, has been confirmed. The new magistrate is 35 years of age. At the Carmarthen Board of Guardians on Saturday a letter was received from the Local Government, Board sanctioning the giving of a treat to the in- mates of the workhouse on June 2bt, in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. The board voted X5 for the purpose. Sir W. T. Lewis has written to Mr W. Johnston, secretary to the National Institute of Wales, stating that the Marquis of Bute readily concurs in the pro- posal that the National Institute should be promoted independently of the free library, and that his lord- ship will continue his promised subscription of £ 1,000 accordingly. For the last five or six months fox-poisoning in Pembrokeshire, to the north of Haverfordwest, has been carried on on a large scale. The poison used for the purpose is strychnine. In addition to a large number of foxes many valuable dogs have been poisoned, besides several fowls, and in one case a lamb succumbed to the effects of the poison. The practice having assumed serious proportions, gentle- men connected with the Pembrokeshire Hunt have taken the matter up, and at a meeting it was decided that a reward of .£10 be offered to any person giving such information as will lead to the conviction of any person or persons laying poison on other than enclosed land. Mwrog," the Rhyl auctioneer, reached Meifod on Friday night week, atter the police had been with- drawn from the disturbed district. He, however, at once fled from the valley. A number of constables were stationed over the district throughout Friday week night, and the bailiffs vacated the farms where the distrained stock, which are unsold remained. An indignation meeting of the farmers was held, when they expressed strong disapproval of the action of Christ Church College in thus disturbing the district by endeavouring, through police force, to demand the full payment of tithes. The farmers still express their readiness to pay the college tithes at the same reduction which has been granted by the Rector of Meifod, the Venerable Archdeacon Thomas. Since the sales on Friday were a failure,it is now understood that the Corporation of Christ Chmrch will make some concession. Thousands of people crossed the mountains into Meifod Valley on Friday week, and the utmost exitement prevailed. It is announced that the tithe dispute has been arranged throughout the extensive mountain districts of Llandrillo and Cynwyd. The farmers have paid their tithes in full, and the costs of distraint are borne by landowners, who have granted a rent remis- sion of 10 per cent. The distrained farmers in Meifod Valley and Vale of Clwyd still hold out.

THE VALLEY AT CWMRHEIDOL.
THE VALLEY AT CWMRHEIDOL. The valley of the Rheidol appears to be unknown to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth. If the majestic scenery of the valley was known to visitors I am cer- tain that hundreds of them would gladly visit it. It is unknown to many that tht-re are two beautiful falls on the Rheidol not more than eight miles from Aberystwyth. These falls would well pay a visit. Near them let us trace the course of the Rheidol. How beautiful are its windings,and how pleasing the verdure on its banks. On both sides of the river are the tall trees raising their heads their full-coloured leaves murmuring before the breeze of summer. The sides of the river above the falls rise abrupt and craggy. The river no w reaches the edge of the preci- pice, and dashes over it into the pool below. It boils and wheels and rushes on its course. The volume of water, the great height, the roar of the cataract, the foam and spray, the appearance of the cliffs, gives us such a majestic spectable that it is impossible in words to convey the scenery before the mind.—CORRESPON- DENT. ————
GOGINAN.
GOGINAN. THE MINE.—A large quantity of machinery was recently sold at the Goginan mine. This has nearly all been cleared away, leaving a dismal look behind it, The mine is one of the oldest in Cardiganshire, and has been almost constantly at work up to the end of last year. The Cwmbrwyno mine, which re- started about the same time, employs a considerable number of workmen. VESTRY.—A public vestry was held at the upper schoolroom on Thursday evening, the 26th ult. Mr B. O. James, the boarel school, was voted to the chair. The rate in the pound for the present half year was fixed at one and fivepence, and the overseers' books for the last half year were examined and found cor- rect. THE POST OFFICE.—The new post-office, in place of the old one recently destroyed by fire, was com- menced on Monday. The new building is to be superior in size and construction to the previous one, and is expected to be ready in a few months.

1 TOWN COUNCIL. A meeting of the council was hell at JTall on Wednesday. Present—Mr GWrgy y (m.ay°r)« Aldermon David Roberts a,nd Feter JOT! Couu'c:'l°rs C- Koberts. Richard James.

The Mayor said that on the previous day he and the Surveyor saw Col. Warren, who intended bring- ing to Aberystwyth, in August ne* £ f the South I Shropshire Volunteers (about 800 in number) to encamp, and on going to the Flats G&l. Warren thought that ground would suit their purpose very well. Colonel Warren had agreed for » piece of ground on which to encamp on the other sid# of the railway, but they would want the Flats for «boat a week's time. It would be a great advantage to the town to have such a large budy of men here, who would leave a good sum of money behind them, wnd if the council dealt liberally with them they might fee induced to come again. Mr William Thomas Do they want it free of charge ? The Mayor That is what I should recommend. f Mr B. E. Morgan did not agree with that. The regiment would not appreciate it if they had it free ofcharge, and he thought the council should have a guarantee against any damage done. g The Town Clerk How mauy are coming here ? The Mayor: 800. Mr C. M. Williams said they had to deal with the question of the cattle now grazing on the Flats. Alderman Peter Jones asked what was the number of cattle on the Flats. The Surveyor said there were about 30; but there would not be more than eight or nine in August. Mr Richard James asked if the regimeut would require the whole of the Flats? The Mayor said they would, and that was not sufficient for them. Mr Williams Thomas feared they were going into difficulties, as they had let the flats to be grazed, and la8 Mr C. M. Williams had mentioned, if they were going to let anybody and everybody step in free of charge they could not expect any customers. He suggested that the question should be referred to the public works committee. Mr n. M. Williams said that formerly they had a revenue of .£150 from this source, but last year it had fallen to .t90, and this year it would be brought down to nothing at all. It was a serious question, and ought to be seriously considered. Alderman Jones thought they should settle whether they would accede to the application in the first in- stance. The Mayor said there were different methois of looking at all the questions. The principal thing to be considered was the large amount of money they would bring into the town and spend here. Mr C. M. Williams said the question w.is whether the ratepayers would be agreeable to the regiment having the Flats for nothing. Mr B. E. Morgan asked the Mayor if he had been in correspondence or seen any gentlemanwho expressed the thought that they were going to have the flats or fields free. The Mayor said he had no correspondence with anyone, but he saw Colonel Warren on the previous day. Mr C. M. Williams hoped the Mayor did not in- timate to him that he was going to have them free of charge. The Mayor I have told you what my views are I am not going to tell you the whole conversa- tion. Mr W. Thomas said the few customers they had would probably take their cattle away, and then they should get nothing. Mr Griffith Williams said that when the A.M.C. came here the town went to a great deal of expense; but here they did not want the town to go to any ex- pense, but merely to give them accommodation. He thought that 800 men would surely more than pay rent of the ground, and seeing the good they would do for the town he was in favour of letting them have the Flats. Mr C. M. Williams said the A.M.C. did not get any- thing for nothing but these people would not pay for their lodgings. Mr G. Williams said they could not live without spending money. Mr B. E. Morgan was under the impression that they wanted the ground for a camp,but as it was only for drilling it was quite a different thing, and under these circumstances be proposed that they be allowed to have the ground. Mr Richard James proposed that this application be granted free of charge. With regard to the remarks made by Mr William Thomas that the land was let for grazing, he theught that was no objection at all, as the surveyor had stated that there was a portion of the ground which could be kept for this purpose for a week or a fortnight previously. Mr John Morgan seconded the motion, believing that every facility should be given for people to come to the town. Mr C. M. Williams said that if an arrangement could be made with the tenants he was not at all averse to letting the regiment have the Flats. Mr Richard James pointed out that the Surveyor had stated that there would be sufficient grass for the cows during the eight or ten days which the regiment would be up. If the Surveyor was wrong he was willing to give in. Mr C. M. Williams I have said nothing about the Surveyor. I said the people might object to it. I appeal to the Town Clerk whether an arrangement ought not to be made with them. The Town Clerk said it was desirable that some arrangement should be made. There might be a difficulty which would be avoided if the tenants were seen, and it was explained to them that they should have an equivalent. Alderman Jones suggested that they should agree that the application be acceded to provided they could get the consent of these parties. Mr Richard James added that proviso to his motion. Mr D. C. Roberts said that unless they acceded to the request that day the regiment would not come here at all, as they had been making enquiries else- where. The men would spend a thousand pounds in if t°.wn> and they were a respectable lot of people whx> wished to come here. The Mayor said it was very likely that a number of their families would also come here, and it would advertise the town. Mr William Thomas said it was a pity the intima- tion made by Mr Roberts had not been made before. The council were then about to vote on the question, when Mr C. M. Williams objected as the matter had not been placed on the agenda. Mr D. C. Roberts proposed, and Mr Richard James seconded, the suspension of the standing orders, which was agreed to, Mr C. M. Williams aud ^IjLWilbam Thomas only voting against it. wMve motion was then put, and carried. Mr William Thomas voted against it. A FIRE ENGINE. The Mayor read a petition, signed by a number of ratepayers, impressing upon the council the great necessity of providing the town with a fire engine, and pointing out that there was no other town of its size so ill-provided, and the petitioners promised their help and assistance in the purchase of an engine. Mr C. M. Williams thought the petition almost amounted to a vote of censure on the public works a.nd Alderman Jones and Mr D. C. Roberts, who had been appointed to go into the matter. Mr D. C. Roberts said he was the only member of the council who attended the meeting that was called. He did not think that a fire engine was wanted; if they could get up a brigade that would be ample for all that was wanted. He was quite prepared to attend any meeting that was called. Mr Richard James said that some three or four years ago he took an interest in this matter, and wrote about engines-both manual and steam—to firms in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, giving them the pressure of water, size of pipes, and quantity of hose at their disposal. He had also written to Capt. Shaw, of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and he said that all they required was a larger length of hose, and that a fire engine was not necessary in any case, with the exception of going out to farms in the district; but with regard to the town, the pressure they had would be better than any manual engine. As for a steam engine, they would require a person to look after it, and it would be very expensive. The only thing they required was a larger length of hose. Mr C. M. Williams enquired if it would not be well for the committee to take the matter in hand. The question was a very important oae, and there ought to be some arrangement for a brigade or some- thing of the kind. He thought they ought to be much obliged to the petitioners for bringing the matter forward. Mr B. E. Moreran said that they were not aware of the facts as stated by Mr Richard James, and if they were told there would not be such a cry for an engine. If a brigade was formed he thought they would be satisfied. The Mayor said it was a question which had been brought forward many times. No doubt there was abundant pressure, and they could get as much water as they eonld throw over any building direct from the mains as from four engines, if they could get the water, and these four engines would keep 24 men hard at work. They had the pressure, but there was something more to be done. IIMr Richard Jamea suggested that they should have a fire brigade under the supervision of the surveyor, with a. few paid men as well. Alderman David Roberts suggested that the matter should stand over till the ne:.t meeting, and this was agreed to. The Town Clerk was directed to acknow- ledge the receipt of the memorial. A FLOWER STALL. Mr jtjowk-tt, of North-parade, said that be desired to ilttee a ^ower stall on the Terrace or rjust below the pll the ^reshore during tA-3 summer 'montë; Tfa^sta*! voiild be a handsome one, contain- ing the of flowers, and it would be an orna- ment to the ierrase rattier than otherwise. The Town Clerk was directed to enquire whether the council had power to comply with the request, and eommumcute? t^th Mr Howlett. TRii'V^HAN BRIUaS. Mr Katchins. the county surveyor, said that he had no formal instrttctolim from the court of quarter sessions t*r appear before the council, but he had instruction from Mi* F. R. Roberts to send them a plan showing the probable amount of extra ground which the county asked the council to grant to them in connection With the re-bu.ilding of the bridge ever the Rheidol. JIk had not see.i Mr Roberts tha.t dsj1, and therefore bort-honght he had better attend there himself. The glfrond for the new bridge was in- sufficient, as it wo*iid be about eijht feet wider than the old one, and tr.<ý had to alter the site slightly on account of their beitsgf unable to obtain a portion of Mr Mcllquham's yard1.- They would therefore reqnire aiboiit ten feet on either side. The bridge N4wotild be 31 feet wide, and the cswount of land required would be1 about 51 feet; but th* extra space would Ve all covered up, and there would be nothing'sbowing,. and would not interfere witht the roadways or anytring of that kind. Replying to a question' M to what he propost4 doing '5or the diversion of the town sewer, The County Surveyor saiditlie only information he' had received with regard to the sewer was that it was to gn between the north afcutment and the north pier, aniJit would block a great portion of the water- way and tideway If the couceil could see their way to substitute something for this it would be a. great advantage to the bridge. After a cc-nversation, it was derided to adjourn the meetinsr so sw to meet the County Bridge Committee, which met that day at twelve o'clock, and to discuss the matter wi^h them at the site ofi the new bridge. Ttm CORPORATION RF.Ak. The affixing of'the Corporation seal to several do- cuments had to be deferred till next Tuesday, owing j to the absence of Mr H. L. Evans, who had one of the keys of the seal box in his possession. j FUPTH BRIGADE, R.A. Mr B. E. Morgan suggested that the usual vote of ] congratulation should be offered to the officers of this regimen: on the good conduct of the men during the time they had been teaming this year. Mr R. Ja.mes seconded the motion. Mr C. M. Williams said it was necessary to know what had been the conduct of the men. They had not been in town this yeas, as formerly. It was also pointed -)at tha.t the brigade bad been encamped outside the borough. Mr B. E. Morgan said he would let the matter drop. VAEN&R ROAD. Mr William Thomas proposed to call attention to "0 this road before the preceding business had been dis- posed of but he was called to order by Aldermin Jones and the Mayor. After the busines;g had been disposed of Mr Thomas said Alderman Jones, with your permission I will simply mention- Mr C. M. Williams You are not in order. You must address the Mayor. Mr Thomas He knows alllabout it. Alderman Jones You know the practice at Shiloh (laughter). Mr Thomas said they were on the point of settling with Mr Jones, the Ropewalk. and he thought it was a good opportunity of bringing forward the question of widening School-lane from the entrance to the Ropewalk up to the National schools. Once they had closed with Mr Jones for the erronnd the thing- would be out of the hands of the council for 75 years. He believed that Mr Jones would meet fairly in the matter, and he would like to see the thing taken up. Mr C. M. Williams suggested that he should move that the matter be referred to the public works com- mittee. Mr Thomas If Alderman Jones wdl agree to it I will move it (laughter). Alderman Jones I suppose I am head* deacon of this institution (laughter). Mr Thomas That comes very low. If yon don't mind we shill have a tree gua.rd between us (loud laughter). Alderman Joxes And a little humility as- well. Mr Thomas I propose that it be referred to the committee. This was seconded and carried. Alderman Jones A very good suggestion-, Mr Thomas I have the honour. Mr C. M. Williams The suggestion was made by Mr Fryer years ago. The Mayor then vacated the chair, but some-further badinasre was indulged in between Mr Thomas, Mr H- James, and Mr C. M. Williams.
CHURCH AND CHAPEL.
CHURCH AND CHAPEL. The united Church Sunday schools of this t-own.- (St Michael's, St Mary's, and Trinity)—to the num- ber of 600 or 700 scholars, marched in procession through the town on Sunday afternoon to take partin a special service at St Michael's church. St Michael's and St Mary's schools were headed by banners.and it was intended that Trinity should be also so supplied, but the banner did not arrive in time. The Revs J. H. Protheroe, Prebendary Williams, D. L. Davies, D. W. Jenkins and W. Evans were present, as well as the school superintendents — Messrs E. P. Wynne, E. O. Wynne, W. Williams, 60, the Terrace, Thomas Griffiths and Thomas James, who acted as marshals. The large company sang suitable hymns all along the route, and the sight was a very imposing one. At the church the Revs J. H. Protheroe and Prebendary Williams read service in English and Welsh, and the Rev Di Lloyd Williams advocated the cause of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in a bilingual address. The proceedings were very successful throughout. Last Sunday being Palm Sunday, special, sermons were preached at all the churches on the subject of the descent of the Holy Ghost. At St Michael's, in the morning, the Rev J. H. Protheroe was the preacher, and in the evening the rev gentleman occu- pied the pulpit at St Mary's ( vVelsh) Church, where the choir sang the anthem Teyrnasoedd y ddaear." The Rev W. Evans officiated at St Michael's in the evening, and special hymns were sung. At Trinity, in the morning, the Rev D. W. Jenkins, curate was the preacher, a/id in the evening the Rev. Prebendary Williams preached. The anthem "Arise, and shine," was well rendered. At Llanbadarn the Rev D. Lloyd Williams preached at the morning and evening services. The choir sang Thi Hallelujah chorus." The congregations were large at all the churches. Next Sunday, at Trinity, a festival .will be held it being Trinity Sunday, and in whose honour the church is named. In the evening a processional hymn will be rendered, as well as the anthem "I am Olpha and Omega." Mr Joseph Llewelyn, of the Independent College, Bangor, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Welsh Congregational Churches at Chirach and Borth,. near this town, in succession to, the Rev Peteir Davies. Mr R. Morgan Jones, B.A. of St John's College, Cambridge, headmaster of the Holyhead Grammar School, was admitted to the degree of M.A. at the- congregation held at the Senate House, Cambridge last week.

THE OLD LOVE AKD THE NEW..\
THE OLD LOVE AKD THE NEW.. This is the subject of the cartoon in this- week's "Moonshine." Mr Glacbtoiie has just arrived in Wales, carpet-bag in hand, and with the ominous label Disestablishment. Meeting a cay Welsh dairymaid, the G. O. M^slily puts his araa<round her waist, and proceeds to niter soft words to.her. The action of the pair is watched by a discarded sweet- waist, and proceeds to utter soft words to,her. The i action of the pair is watched by a discarded sweet- heart—Miss Scotland—who stands a little in rear, with a milk pail undeJ: her arm. As she witnesses the sly embrace which Mr Gladstone, gives to the buxom Welsh maid she mutters, "These he goes, the old sinner. But noi so long since be, said the same things to me."

He msmtauied that tue best way tc* at the working m^ was osoand tell him the UMh and the wholl truth, and if thf-y snowed him their hand, and it was a clean- hand be would t.keit and .-bake it. The Con- servative party had got the money, and thc-y d d not mind pending and they p01nt«d out that thl libertiesand righfe of the people were safe ia th I hands of the Conservatives, and in order to keeu things straight it w necessary to send Conservatives to ParliattKpt and they asked the working men tJ I• Ti P U.l? f Tha Speaker al*> referred to the object whicn the framers of the le.v^e had ia 7tew, it was kv organise a voluntary bj., d all of r»nom would be worker.the meaning of the nro- nwters of the league was work, work, work what. th.«y were all wanted- for was to work to return Con- servative members to Parliament to advocate tho--Qt great truths for which Lord Beaconsneld lived and died (Applause), He was an advocate for such, gatherings as the present, as he believed that such meetmgs c&u-ed more mi-ndshakis'.gt; between the classes and the masses than anything else the classes and the masses were brought t gether and the poor man acd-i he rich man became friends for once and-forever.- There was no distinction, and there should be no distinction made between the rich and tia-t poor, the white and tha black, for one touch of nature-makes ail men akin. That was their object in hw-iiiif such meetings as the admirable one they were holding but their primary object was work (cheers). ihey had now no less that 2.00& habitations, and the large mtmbers of people he saw before him was only one small section of 600 (XXJ. members (applause). He illuftratei the magnitude of this large number by saying that if these 600,000 poeple were to stand shoulder to shoulder they would reach from here to London, aed he believed they would take a Conservative member with them (laughter) and if they were to pass in procession he would have to stand* in-0&9 place seven days aud; seven nights before be should see the last of them. Was there anyone who-would tell him that these 600,000 people were not going to-exercise some influ- ence at the next election ? He thought they would exercise a very powerful intiuesce. The income was about £ 10,000 a year, but the framers of the league were not going to publish a balance sheet to the world, for Mr Laboccnere uml others to asic questions concerning- it;, but there was a balance sheet published, and if any member of that habitatiott would only send a proper voucher that he was member and did not intend mak-nig all improper use of it, he could have one. Hcaonld-tell them that the pwple at headquarters were very careful of the members' money. He then proceeded to explain the objects of the league, and defended the policy of only having one habitation for this-connty, Their's waa an exception habitation, becaMe it was the largest of the 20,000 and it was about the most difficult habita- tion to work that he knew, but by having only one habitation they kept the whole of the Conservatives in one mass. It was not desirable that the account* should be made public, but bo-was glad to tell them, that the accounts of this habitation for the year showed a balance to the credit side of about X 10, and a copy would be sent to any member that applied for one. They stood well to the right side, and he hoped, they should always do so. Hs paid a compliment to Mr E. H. Davies, the Conservative agent, for tha assistance which he had rendered, and said that on. no occasion had he applied to him for any infofmatiol1 which Mr Davies was not able to give him. He con- cluded by urging upon ;ll the necessity for working- to return Conservative rnembers to Parliament. Mr Thomas Griffiths, Great Dogate-street, gave a short address in Welsh, The follow- ing programme was afterwards performed :— Song, Sweet Rheidol Vale," Mr William Morgan Queen\s-road; duet, "Oh that we-two were Maying," Miss_ Howell, Craigydon, Aberdovey. and Captain Cunlifie song, Come, birdie, come Countess of I isburne (encored): song.

Powell, for their eff trts in getting up the entertainment. This was carried amicl acclamation, and the Countess respoadecL remarking" tha.t she hoped this was only (me.ef many more en- tertainments which would be givon under the aus- pices of the league.

ABKlvDO'VEY. A SECOND LIBERATIONIST MEETING.:—Tne above meeting was held on Friday evening, the 27th nlt., and, was intended as a reply to the defence meeting previously reported in the "Aberystwyth Observer." Present were the Rev G. E.V&E.& (C.M.). in. the chair, Rev J. Owen (C.M.), Mr J. Tomlins, senior. In addition to these and the speakers were the Kevs T. Edwards (Twm Gwynedd), vicar of Ab^rgynoi wyn, arid E. Hughes, rector of Barmouth, busy taking- notes. The Chairman mada allusion to the defence meeting, and Mr Hughes' speech in particular, and while doing so he got impassioned. Be-fore he sat down he called upon Mr O. I £ Jones. Llanfyllin, who induged in abusTC -language, and proving n-othing he had said before. The speakers at the defence meeting refuted all the assertions of Mr- Miles and Mr Jones, but none of these-«ere touched, upon again. No, not oven y peih hyll hynny. Next to address the meeting was. Mr .Ic-iln Robertson, manager of the Import and Export warehouse. He bad had some half a dozen books or SQ, as was said, irom Welshpool, to prove that the Church service is conducted by the la.w.of the land.. His speech was a second edition of Mr Humphreys Owen's at, Berriew. After h-jai was the man who was reported to put an end and.shut the mouth entirely of the defence speakers, called the Rev John. Thomas, D.n.a.- Liverpool. His speech was ntn,(ie up of anecdotes. The supporters oAi Liberationism in the town regret they ever had called it; because they never anti- cipated such a futile and feeble meeting; they (many of them) confess th it was far below their expectations. The Rev T. Edwards annotai&ed at the close, on- behalf of the V tar of the pswish, w.hc> was away in London, that a reply meeting will be held again.
