and through Poland there are active preparations for a revolt. On the other hand the Czar has granted a free pardon to the leaders of the strikers in St. Petersburg who had been arrested, and it is rumoured now that an Imperial Declaration will be issued one of these days granting many reforms. The authorities try to damage the reform movement by saying that the strikers and agitators are receiving pecuniary assistance from England. We do not think that nobody in this country need be ashamed of the fact had it been so. It is an honour to be proud of to be allowed to assist the bond to secure his freedom and to break the power of the oppressor. But unfortunately English gold does not flow into such channels nowadays. The Government cannot give the Russian Revolu- tioners such help as Pitt gave to the French, and private investors look for better return and security than the Russian peasantry can give. We feel sure that the cry is as much the vain imagining of a muddled mind as the swearing that there were torpedoes in the North Sea. Practical Results of the Welsh Educational Policy.—Whatever fault the supporters of Non- provided Schools and the teaching profession may find with the Educational Policy of the Welsh County Councils, one thing must be admitted, it leads for the time being. to great economy and retrenchment, and for this the ratepayers ought to be thankful. It was clearly shown at a meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council held last week, that the Education Committee had found the grants earned by the Non-provided Schools quite sufficient to meet all the expenses, in fact, there was a balance of £ 158 remaining. The Church and Conservative members of the Council did not dispute the accuracy of the figures presented. This is a great triumph for the member for the Carnarvon Boroughs. It ought to silence all those critics who declared that the Act could not be administered to the satisfaction of the Education Department with- out using the rates. Some went even so far as to maintain that rates were being actually used for the purpose, and that the so called no rate policy was all sham and humbug. Those critics, one or two of whom are members of the Carnarvonshire Council, looked rather crest- fallen on Friday last. It is becoming pretty evident now that another Act of Parliament must be passed before the County Councils can be declared guilty of any legal offence. Revival versus Mission.—We notice that several of the newspapers have adopted new headlines to their reports of the Torrey- Alexander meetings which were inaugurated last Saturday. They have started announcing "The Albert Hall Revival." We should like to know what this means. Up to Saturday morning it was the Torrey-Alexander Mission. Why this change of title ? To our minds there is a world of difference between the two. A mission may be the means of bringing about a revival, and we sincerely hope the Albert Hall meetings will have that result, much as we dis- like many things connected with them. But a revival, in the proper sense of the word, and in the sense in which Wales has been. blessed during the last three months, is something that has not yet been experienced neither in Albert Hall nor anywhere else in London, and when it is experienced, all the grand machinery upon which ^17,000 has been expended will be forgotten, and even the Evangelists themselves will be lost sight of altogether. In the mean- time let things be called by their proper names. Ex=Judges and their Pensions.-Sir Francis Jeune is the last judge to retire, and he has been granted a pension of £3,500 a year. The Westminster Revietv, in making the announce- ment, gives some very interesting details con- cerning the pensions enjoyed by men who were fortunate enough to sit on the judicial bench. They are eight in number, and receive between them ^28,000. It seems that after fifteen years' service a judge can retire on seven-tenths of his salary. Three more judges of the High Court are entitled to annuities whenever they chose to take them. In addition to these Lord Justice Mathew of the Court of Appeal qualified for his pension nearly nine years ago, and Lord Macnaughten three years ago. The Lord Chancellor is entitled to a pension of £5,000 a year for life, however short his tenure of the Chancellorship. The law is not "an ass" in every respect, whatever un- successful litigants may spitefully say.

Am Gymry Llund sin. HANES un o Gymry Llundain gan mlynedd yn ol oedd testyn anerchiad dyddorol draddod- wyd gan Mr. T. J. Evans o flaen Cymdeithas y Brythonwyr, nos Fawrth diweddaf. Daeth Jack Glanygors (neu a rhoi enw respectable arno) Mr. John Jones, o Gerrig-y-Druidion i'r brifddinas pan tua 15 neu 16 oed, fel Grocer's Assistant. Ymunodd ef a Twm o'r Nant, ac amryw eraill a Chymdeithas y Gwyneddigion, lie cenid y delyn ac, yn ol arfer yr oes honno, yr yfid brag barddol. Ymadawodd y Gymdeithas a Chymdeithas y Cymmrodorion am fod y diweddaf yn rhy Seisnigaidd. Ond haerai ysgrifenydd presenol y Gymdeithas nad oedd hyn gywir. Yn y flwyddyn 1785 cyhoeddodd "Jack"ei lyfr yn condemnio gorthrymwyr y Cymry ac yn erbyn brenhinoedd yn gyffredinol. Am hyn daeth dan wg yr awdurdoJau gwladol. Efe oedd un o'r cyntaf i awgrymu y ballot, ac y mae amryw o'r gwelliantau gwleidyddol a gynnygiai wedi eu dwyn i ymarferiad erbyn hyn. Yn 1797 cyhoeddodd lyfr o'r enw "Toriad y Dydd," math o utftpia a ddychmygai. Er nad yn llawer o lenor y mae rhai o'i duchangerddi yn bur ddigrifol. Tua 1800 ymgymerodd a chadw tafarn o'r enw King's Head," yn Lud- gate Street, rhan rhwng yr Old Bailey a St. Paul's Churchvard, o'r hyn a elwir yn Ludgate Hill yn awr. Saif tafarndy Daniel Lambert ar y fan yn awr. Claddwyd y Cymro arabaidd a thynergalon hwn gerllaw St. Paul's Church- yard, nid neppell o'i dafarndy. Y mae Mr. Evans wedi myned i lafur mawr i chwilotta i hanes yr hwn a alwai yn ddechreuwr y mudiad Rhyddfrydol yng Nghymru, a disgwylir y daw a ffrwyth ei lafur i oleu dydd y wasg. ST. MARY'S, CAMBERWELL. — "Does the British nation indulge too much in sport ?" This interesting subject occupied the attention of our Debating Society on Tuesday last, and resulted in a narrow defeat for the sportsmen. The unenviable duty of opposing the present passion for sport was undertaken by Mr. D. Davies, and his remarks were very appropriate and effective, and this, coupled with the fact that the resistance offered was feeble and not exactly to the point, enabled him to gain the favour of the house. It is pleasing to note the continued success of these meetings, and with Easter Monday's Eisteddfod to prepare for as well, it may be said that St. Mary's at present is the home of enthusiasm and good work.-A. L. CITY ROAD.-Nos Iau, Ionawr 26ain, cyn- haliwyd swper goffi, y wledd yn cael ei rhoddi gan Mr. Ebenezer Hughes, yr hwn sydd yn ffyddlawn a gweithgar yn nglyn a'r achos yn City Road. Ni ddaeth y cadeirydd penod- edig. Yn ei absenoldeb, cymerwyd y gadair gan Mr. Edmund Evans. Canwyd gan Misses Lila Thomas (Hackney) a Linell, a'r Mri. J. Bedford Morgan a J. Tudor Evans. Cyfeiliwyd yn fedrus gan Miss Deborah Rees, yr hon hefyd a roddodd Humorous Sketches" yn ddoniol iawn. Cafwyd hefyd wasanaeth y phonograph, dan reolaeth Mr. Arthur Jenkins. Hefyd cafwyd cystadleuaeth, desgrifio gwrth- rych heb ei enwi. Dyfarnodd Mr. Barker y wobr i Mr. John Richards (Barbican). Daeth mwy nag arfer yn nghyd, a chafwyd casgliad rhagorol.-Nos Wener, Chwefror 3ydd, cafodd y Gymdeithas uchod y fraint o wrando ar anerchiad rhagorol ar y diweddar Barch. Thos. Oliver (gweinidog Wesleyaidd) gan y Parch. T. Wynne-Jones (Leyton). Cydoesai Mr. Oliver a John Wesley, ac yr oedd yn enedigol o Dre- gynon. Gwnaeth Mr. Jones sylwadau arno fel crydd, pregethwr, ac emynwr. Yr oedd o gymeriad drwg eithafol hyd nes yr oedd tua 22ain oed. Argyhoeddwyd ef yn Bryste, pan yn gwrando ar Whitcliffe yn pregethu. Yna dychwelodd i Dregynon, a dechreuodd bregethu yn uniongyrchol ar yr heol. Bygythiodd yr awdurdodau ei roddi yn y stocks os na byddai iddo beidio. Atebodd yntau nad oedd arno ofn y stocks, ond na pheidiai a phregethu. Gan hynny, rhoddwyd ef ynddyrrt, ond par- haodd ef i bregethu am dair awr er fod ei ddwylaw a'i draed yn rhwym yn y cyffion. Cydlafuriodd a John Wesley yn y weiniclogaeth am 46 mlynedd, a bu fyw wyth mlynedd ar ol marwolaeth Wesley. Claddwyd y ddau yn yr un bedd tu ol i Gapel Wesley, City Road. Yr oedd y blynyddoedd hynny yn cael eu nod- weddu gan lawer o ddadleu ac ymgecru ym mhlith y gwahanol enwadau crefyddol. Dywedai Mr. Tones fod yn dda ganddo feddwl y bydd ir Diwygiad presenol beri na bydd gan bobl Dduw nac amser nac awydd i ymddadleu a'u gilydd, ond yn hytrach gwasanaethu Dpw mewn ysbryd a gwirionedd. "NODDFA" TOTTENHAM.—Bob nos Fercher cynhelir cyrddau gweddi yn yr eglwys fechan hon ar linellau y cyrddau diwygiadol yng Nghymru, ac y mae Ysbryd Duw eisoes wedi ymweled a hi. Nos Fercher wythnos i'r diweddaf ymwelodd rhai o aelodau Holloway (M.) a hi, a chafwyd cwrdd neillduol o dda, a Duw yn gwenu ar yr oedfa. Ar ol i'r cwrdd orphen am tua deg o'r gloch, penderfynodd pump o'r rhai oedd yn bresenol i barhau mewn gweddi, gan ddymuno am dywalltiad helaethach o'r Ysbryd, ac ni siomwyd hwy yn hyn, oblegid ymwelodd Duw a hwy mewn modd arbenig. Nid anghofir y cwrdd hwn gan un o honynt byth. Nos Tercher diweddaf drachefn cafwyd cwrdd bendigedig, ym mha un yr oedd aelodau Red House (M.) a Noddfa (B.) mewn undeb yn gweddio am yr un fendith Daeth y cawodydd drachefn yn drymion ar yr oedfa, ac yr oedd pawb mor gartrefol wrth waith yr Arglwydd ac y byddai wrth rhyw waith arall. Cymerodd pob un oedd yn y lie ran yn y cyfarfod. Mewn gwirionedd, yr oedd yn nefoedd ar y ddaear i fod yno yn eu plith. Yr oedd yn hyfryd dros ben i weld y ddwy sect mor gynes at eu gilydd, y naill yn dymuno y goreu i'r llall. Parhaed brawdgarwch. Nos Sal diweddaf, er i'r gweinidog parchus ddechreu codi ei destyn, trowyd y cwrdd pregethu yn gwrdd gweddi, a chafwyd oedfa dda, yng nghwmni amryw ddyeithriaid. Os mai ernes ydyw y cyfarfodydd hyn o rywbeth sydd i ddod, bydd Diwygiad Cymru yn beth mor real yn Tottenham. Mewn ffydd credwn fod y dydd bron gwawrio. Gobeithiwn y bydd i bawb a allo tu allan i'r cylch ymweld a'r lie i gynorthwyo y gwan, ac hefyd i weddio ar eu rhan, gan gredu y bydd i'w gweddiau gael eu hateb.
