PERTWEE (BURRYPORT), With Preface by the Editor of The Cambrian. NOW SELLING. May be obtained at The Cambrian Office, Swansea; and from the principal booksellers in South Wales. The Book deals with the Foundation and History of the Parish Church of Pembrey, before and after the Norman Conquest, and with its Architecture, Carvings in Stone, &c. There are 23 valuable and interesting Illustrations. PRESS OPINIONS. The Western Mail says :Mr. Edward Roberts of Swansea, a gentleman who has provided the public with many instructive and original con- tributions on place-names, has just produced a most interesting history of St. Illtyd's Church, Pembrey, which is published in book form, and is copiously illustrated by Mr. H. A. Pertwee, of Burry Port, who has also dealt with the architec- tural portion of the work." The Lianelly Guardian says :-That the history of this church has been undertaken by Messrs. Roberta and Pertwee at once guarantees antiquarian research and local knowledge com- bined for the former gentleman has for many years made a speciality of the study of Welsh antiquities and place names. Such sur- vivals as heraldic carvings, burials and memorial stones, the inscriptions for which are most interesting reading, bring back to our minds the Butler family, of Dunraven and Pembrey; the Vaughans, the Mansels and the Rees's. In fact, the little brochure is a most complete collection of historical facts connected with the old Church and the district. The letterpress and illustrations are excellently printed, and much credit is due to The Cambrian :office, Swansea, for the tasteful manner of its get-up. A Torquay gentleman writes :—" The writers of the very interesting work on St. Illtyd's Church, Pembrey, which has been recently pub- lished at your office, invite discussion in your columns. They must be first congratulated on their contribution to the literature of parochial histories, and The Cambrian Newspaper Company also deserves praise :for the style in which the book has been printed and issued," PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE CAMBRIAN NEWSPAPER Co., LTD., SWANSEA.

THE OXFORD MOVEMENT. -
THE OXFORD MOVEMENT. At the Diocesan Conference at the Albert Hall on Friday, the venerable Archdeacon of Canterbury, in the course of a speech on the Wehh Church, referred to the Oxford Movement and its results. The Oxford movement has been described as by far the most remarkable phenomenon witnessed in the present century. It took its rise in a learned university, soon extended to very different spheres, alike to the country villages, the market towns, the cathedral cities, and the great manufacturing centres The revived study of Church history was partly a result, but partly also a very potent cause, of the movements' success. The revived sense of beauty in all departments, which is popularly called aestheticsm, was a valuable ally to the movement. It was, perhaps, fortunate that prominence was not given in the early stage to the adjuncts of. worship otherwise it might have been said that the revival was merely the ecclesiastical form which aestheticsm took. But dates show that it was not so. The principles advocated by Keble, Pusey, and Newman had established themselves before the aesthetic wave passed over the country. We were still in the reign of ugliness but when that reign passed away, and a sense of the beautiful in architecture, in music, in paint- ing, in the fine arts generally, asserted its sway, it found its natural home, so far as religion was concerned, in the remodelled church. The personal characters of the leaders of the Oxford Movement were of a kind to commend any cause respectful consideration of the pious and the thoughtful. John and Thomas Kemble, E. B. Pusey, J. H. Newmau, R. H. Froude, Charles Marriott, Isaac Williams and the rest were all men of a very high type morally, spiritually, and intellectually. The Oxford Movement supplied a want which Evangelicalism supplied in its day. The Oxford men and their successors touched life at far more points than the older Evange- licals ever did. It is wonderful how much of the work of the Church at large during the last fifty years is, directly or indirectly, due to this movement. The restoration, after much discouragement, in high places, of the active powers of Convocation, the establish- ment of the less regular, but not less efficient, Church Congresses and Diocesan Confer- ences, of Sisterhoods, of Guilds, of parochial missions, of retreats and quiet days the increase of the episcopate at home and abroad, the revival of the office of Bishop Suffragans, and many other organisations, may fairly be said to have originated with men who were, more or less, influenced by the movement; though they were afterwards taken up by others. It is a notable fact that a large proportion of the men who have been prominent in the movement have been, more or less, gifted with the spirit of poetry. At least three of the brilliant galaxy which lighted up the firmament in the early part of the nineteenth century—Coleridge, Words- worth, and Sir Walter Scott—prepared the way for the movement. And of the few who took a leading part in the movement itself in its early stage, no less than five-J. Keble, J. H. Newman, I. Williams, J. M. Neale, and F. W. Faber—were true poets. Not only did their religion affect their poetry, but also their poetry affected their religion, and tended to make it attractive. 0—
FRANGE AND ENGLAND.
FRANGE AND ENGLAND. We are told that by sending the Marchand expedition to Fashoda, France wished to put a question to England. The French Yellow Book may, we think, be interpreted in. that sense—an interrogatory veiled nnder an assertion of rights. If this interpretation be correct, if the object of the French Government be to settle, naturally upon the best terms, and there- fore by means of the strongest diplomatic pressure possible, the exact frontiers of the French, Egyptian, and British territories in Central Asia, there is but little danger of an Anglo-French war. That is a legiti- mate question to raise, and its solution would be no unworthy outcome of the present strained relations. So far, how- ever, as the possession of Fashoda and the main stream of the Nile is concerned, the question has been answered, Lord Salis- bury, seconded by Lord Rosebery, and supported by every responsible statesman and journal in Great Britain, has replied—a reply emphasized in the second Blue Book issued on Monday last—that the frontier of the French Congo or Ubangbi country is not the Nile, but is considered to be many miles to the west. The precise line of that frontier, and the question of the French commercial privileges on the Nile and its affluents, may well be decided by negotiation, or even, if need be, by arbitration. Both France and Egypt have plausible claim to the possession of the ill-defined region known as the Bahr-el- Ghazel, through which, at great risk of destruction by the Mahdista, Major Marchand's force has passed. Nominally Egyptian in former times, the whole of it cannot be properly described as within the Nile Valley, and if the sovereignty of the western portion will content the French, there is little doubt that they have only to withdraw Marchand from Fashoda and secure it. M. Blowitz, like Sir Lucius O'Trigger engaged in promoting an affair of honour for a friend, has been telling his countrymen that England is thirsting for military glory, and that her strength and valour are only equalled by her, at the present moment, inordinate appetite for a fight. Were England bent upon war, the contents of the Yellow Book would have afforded justification for an instant appeal to arms. That the magnificent display of national feeling in support of Lord Salis- bury should have been construed as belli- cose in its nature is characteristic of the manner in which, through dissimilarity of temperament, Frenchmen contrive to mis- understand Eng'iihmen, and vice versa. Probably there is not a single human being in England who wishes for war, and there are very few who would be prepared to resort to it for the sake of maintaining the integrity of absolutely everything that may once have been under the nominal rule of the Khedive. But, as even the British and Foreign Arbitration Society have affirmed, the French occupation of Fashoda is a trespass upon territory over which we had proclaimed rights, and an unfriendly act of a nature which does not admit of arbitration. In this country there can be nothing but respect for the pluck and persistency of Major Marchand and his companions, but there is justifiable resentment at the action of the men in Paris who sent him to the Nile in defiance of the well-known warning from Lord Rosebery's Government, and under conditions which would have been fatal but for the protection of the British army "in being in the north. If there is to be war which Heaven forbid—it will be of French making. As yet, we cannot credit the suggestion that France, standing alone, will fight on the question of Fashoda, or on the general question of British rule in Egypt But there are forces and conspiracies behind the diplomacy of the hour ? If Russia, not- withstanding the famous Rescript, be also bent on a struggle with Great Britain, the position is indeed one to call forth all the patriotism of our race. Excepting certain utterances of the Russian Press, we know of nothing which gives colour or support to the idea of such a combination. Meanwhile, the attitude of the French Government is as uncompromising as that of onr own. It makes "a strong point of the fact that the advance was commenced two years before Sir Edward Grey uttered his warning in the House of Commons. But the advance could have been stopped at the line laid down by Lord Rosebery, and, in any case, the Quai d'Orsai should have informed Downing-street I that the expedition was on its way. Instead of this the secret was kept in such a manner as to lead eventually not merely to a dramatic surprise, but to what only rather narrowly escaped tragedy for a less sensible man than the Sirdar might have been indiscreet. To get all she can without actual hostilities with England i3, we believe, the object of France. While properly refusing to discuss Fashoda, Lord Salisbury has given her a loophole for withdrawal by offering to discuss the Bahr-el-Ghazel. Let Marchand gracefully retire, and the question put by his presence there can be answered. Mr. Punch's cartoon may not, as to its details, be marked by his customary good taste. But in representing the disreputable oxgan- grinder as saying to John Bull, Vat you give if I go ?" he doubtless expresses the true inwardness of the situation.

W. E. Heuley. In our report of the opening of St. Mary's Church last week, we omitted to mention that the very beautiful curtains and handsomely- embroidered cover for the Communion Table were made by Alfred Stalman and Co., of London, under the immediate supervision of Sir Arthur Blomfield. Mr. Stalman himself visited Swansea in order to fit the work in its proper position. Among other important works recently executed by this firm, we notice the altar, frontal, dossal, brass repousse cross and candlesticks in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral, and some very chaste work at Margam Chunh, Port Talbot. The respeot and confidence in which Mr. John White is held by the large staff of Messrs. Ben Evans and Co., Ltd., was evidenced in the most striking manner at the Royal Hotel last (Thursday) evening. Mr. White is not only very capable and painstaking as a business man, but he is genial and possesses the aptitude of winning the confidence of all with whom he comes in contact. And more than that. His assistants know that he has their welfare at heart, a.nd that providing they do their duty they will receive that reward which every considerate employer delights in meting out to those under him. And therein lay the secret of that esprit de corps which exists between all the departments at Messrs. Ben Evans and Company's great business premises. Mr. White has completed twenty-five years at Ben Evans and Co.—a record of which any man might be proud. When the business was turned over to a limited liability company, Mr. White was appointed managing director, a position he has filled with considerable success. Last evening he was entertained by the em- ployees at a complimentary banquet, and pre- sented with an illuminated address. And if ever a man had just cause to feel proud and encouraged to maintain the standard he has set himself, Mr. White did when he rose to respond to the toast of Our Guest." The reception accorded him was as enthusiastic as it could be. In paying tribute to Mr. White the employees did not forget Mrs. White, who is a most estim- able, kindly, and thoughtful lady. A full report of the interesting proceedings will be found in another column. We learn that Principal Rhys and Mr. D. Brynmor Jones, Q.C., M.P., are about to bring out an important work entitled" The History of the Welsh People." The two authors were members of the recent Royal Land Commission in Wales, and in their report they devoted a whole chapter to this subject. This book will embody the results of their subsequent researches. Mr. T. E. Ellis, M.P., has accepted an in vitation to a congratulatory banquet, which is to" be given to him by London Welshmen, on Wednesday, November 2nd. A wedding gift will be presented to Mr, and Mrs. Ellis on the same night. Thus a correspondent" Since the Mumbles Council is unable to find little else to do but levy and collect rates, I venture to throw out a few hints. The entrance from the main road to the Dunn's station has been in a most disgraceful condition for the past week. People have been compelled either to jump over the mud and water —and many have regretted their daring—or skirt the side of the wall. This is a busy thorough, fare, and the least the Conncil could do is to keep it in something like decent order. It is tine also, that notices were served upon the proper parties to trim the hedges of the lanes in the neighbourhood of Langland and Caswell. It is bad enough to walk through mud, but one cannot silently tolerate wet branches of trees <&c in one's face. They should be lopped off', and at once. Perhaps the Mumbles Council will take the hint." Mr. C. H. Perkins, hon. secretary of the niversity Extension Lectures (Swansea Centre), informs us that the accumulated deficit on the lectures of the past six years now amounts to over JE30. This is a matter for surprise and re- gret. It unpleasantly reflects the life of Swansea's young men, and the indifference which many local intellectual movements meet with. In the hope of clearing off the deficit, and possibly of acquiring the means of making a fresh start, the committee have arranged for a popular lecture, in the Albert Hall, on Friday, November 25th. The lecturer will be Mr. Frederic Villiers, the famous war artist and correspondent, and the subject The Recent Re-Conquest of the Soudan." As the University Extension move- ment is one calculated to promote the intellectual growth of the community, the committee ask with confidence for the support of all who are interested in education. The movement for developing the industries of Wales is being carried out with great success. On Saturday a new depot for the sale of goods manufactured by cottagers in Welsh villages was opened in Sloane-street by the Duchess of Wellington. Welsh flannel blankets and wool have for years maintained a great reputation throughout the world. It is anticipated that, with the aid of the Welsh Industries Association, a number of poor Welshmen, who are now earning a meagre iving in our large towns, will be induced to return to their native villages. We have not only fought against France in the past, but we have fought by her side in some terribly stricken fields. Of this we are reminded by the fact that Tuesday was at once the anniversary of Agincourt and of Balaclava. We should all have been glad to hope that the memory of the comradeship in arms of forty years ago bad deadened sentiments dating from more distant times but the recent course of French policy has not been of much assistance in that direction. It is still a sore point that it is only ninety-eight years since the English Sovereigns ceased styling themselves Kings of France. Agincourt has not been forgotten iu either country but we should prefer to remember the Crimea and all that it suggests. Lord Russell of Killowen, in an address on Monday evening to the Epsom Literary Society, clinched what has often been said regarding the influence of the contemporary press. He advised his hearers to practise the habit of close.
