BARMOUTH
BARMOUTH FIRF.-About 8.30 on Monday evening, March 16;h, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr Price, at Borth wen-terrace, near Barmouth. The fire cannot be accounted for at present. All the information we have been able to gather is that on Mr Price's going upstairs on the night in question he perceived smoke, and on opening one of the bedroom doors he found the beds and bedding on fire. Mr Price then opened an adjoining room door, and discovered the bed in that room to be on fire also. One of the bedrooms had not been slept in during the winter, and was used as a store-room for keeping the spare beds and bedding, &c. The other room the servant girl slept in. None of the inmates had been into either of the rooms with a light on the night the fire was discovered. Mr Price's loss is confined to a part of the contents of the two rooms, and consists of feather beds, mattresses, &c. Owing to there being plenty ùf assistance speedily on the spot, and a good supply of water within a short distance, the fire was speedily gut under. A person knowing the premises might have entered the house by the back door, which opens on to the stairs, and set fire to the premises without being heard by those below. Mr Price is in- sured in the Salop Fire Office.

BURGLARY AT BANGOR CATHEDRAL.
BURGLARY AT BANGOR CATHEDRAL. Bangor Cathedral has been the scene of an impudent burglary; About eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, March 17th, Robert Williams, the sexton, was opening the cathe- dral for early service, when he saw a ladder against the window next to the door on the south side, opposite the Star Hotel. It was found that the burglar or burglars had entered by the window and lowered themselves on to the chairs in the aisle below by meats of the window rope. Two of the chairs were loosened from their places, and spots of blood were found upon others below the window. Eight alms boxes were broken open and emptied, and a chest in the chapter room, containing the valuable com- munion plate, bad been forced open, but the contents were left whole. The cupboard containing the sacramental wine was opened, and one bottle taken. The thieves left the building by the chapter room door, unlocking it, and leaving the key in the inside. There were left behind a chisel having stamped on it the name" W. W. Toothill," and a small file. lThe police have found the owner of the chisel and file the burglars left behind them, and have ascertained that they were stolen from his workshop on Monday night.

WELSH ARCHIVES. One by one, valuable archives of antiquities in this country are being explored, and their contents made kaown, greatly to the advancement of archasologiciti science, and to the extension of knowledge respecting the habits, cus- toms, and culture of our remote ancestors. In Wales, the work of investigating the contents of rich libraries con- taining ancient MSS. and other objects of antiquarian interest, has been only very partially prosecuted, and the result of what has been accomplished has received but very limited publicity; but it is to be hoped that the revived Cymmrodorion Society, of London, will now resume the work which it nobly performed in this direction durino- the latter part of the last and the beginning of the present centuries. Mr Brinley Richards has lately been spending lBnVrC,?J nfa^/Tre^]<SEg VahabIe a*d extensive hlrary of the RIght Hon. Lady Llanover, at Llanover Court, the search, in this instance, having primarily wi ? °* obtaining materials illustrative of ancient W clsh national music, and of the national harp. Lady Llanover, who is well known as an ardent supporter of the institutions of the Cymry and an 'enthusiastic admirer of the native triple-stringed harp, herself materially assisted Mr Richards in accomplishing his task. We understand that the investigation has been highly satisfactory, and that the result will be made known in a lecture to be de- livered by Mr Richards at the Society of Arts in the course I of the ensuing month.-Westei-n Daily Press.

.........,/ A THEOLOGICAL…
A THEOLOGICAL CHALL^vGET We have been requested, by some 01 the sub. scribers to the Church Defence Institution, to insert a challenge which the Vicar of CAHNABVON and Mr G. E. LYON have addressed to fie Chair- man of a meeting of the Liberation Society at Rhyl, to discuss the question at i&suo between the associations, with two of the advocates of Disestablishment. The formal challenge, which will be found in another column, seems to have been sent in the heat of the moment, for it is dated March 18th, and was most likely in the hands of the printer the morning after the Church Defence meeting referred to. Whether the action of the valiant VICAR and his learned comrade will bear the test of their own reflection we shall not attempt to determine. All must u-.lmire tha courage with which they offer to represent tha Church Defence Institution, in both languages," and "in any Public Hall of adequate size in North Wales." The first challenge, indeed, was thrown down by the Rev. J. H. GORDON, a re- presentative of the Liberation Society, but that was a different thing. A Welsh audience, we may assume, would be mainly on the sida of the Disestablisher, and Mr LYON would have to be very happy in retort to win that sympathetic applause without which the task which the vicar and the barrister propose to undertake is arduous indeed. For these pub- lic debates are chiefly a matter of retort. The strife is for victory, not for truth, however single-minded the combatants may be, and other things boing equal, ho who can give the zharpost replies on the spur of the moment conies off the victor. It is possible, of course, that the causa of truth may be advanced by a happy sally, but it is equally or rather more probable that the re- sult will be just the other way, and Me ^rs EVANS and GORDON will show their wisdom hotter, per- haps, by refusing than by accepting the challenge, especially when they take into account the Rev. H. T. EDWARDS'S polemical history. We all know how redoubtable a champion of his own views the VICAR is. He belongs to that happy class of mortals who are untroubled by the doubts and pains of the search for truth, not because he is indifferent to it, but because, fortunate man he has discovered the precious thing which some of his fellows are toiling after in so much darkness and perplexity. To him the heaven has opened and revealed its precious secret. The question is, how far it is worth while arguing with a gentleman of this kind. It is plain that those of us who only profess to be seekers after the truth, to whom the heavens have been more unkind, leaving us with nothing but the hope that we may gradually know more, and the belief that while some of our own opinions are doubtless false some of those we disbelieve are true, must suffer serious disadvantage in coming into conflict with this infallible VICAR. On the whole, is it not better to leave him undisturbed in the enjoyment of his happy immunity from the troubles of less favoured men? Who knows but that, in the discussion he rashly invites, some glimmering of doubt may enter his mind, and disturb the enviable placidity of his faith ? The horrible suspicion that possibly, after all, it is unfair to decree that the Church of the minority shall be the State Church of Wales, may cross his hither- to undivided mind, and launch him on a sea of doubts. Even to him there may come the thought that truth may be something different from his own opinions, and that no body of men, call it Parliament or Conclave, has a right to mark out the limits of religion by legalizing one set of opinions, or to set up barriers against the advance of knowledge. In consideration, therefore, for the feelings of Mr EDWARDS, let us hope the challenge will not be accepted, and that he will be allowed to carry on the crusade against Dissent uninterrupted by a single suspicion that his vehement rhetoric may be only the echo of his own erroneous opinions, and not, as he supposes, of the perfect counsels of Heaven.
.0 LAMPETER GUARDIANS AND…
.0 LAMPETER GUARDIANS AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD. There is lying before us a correspondence be- tween the Lampeter Board of Guardians and the Local Government Board on the subject of build- ing a Workhouse for the Union. From the cor- respondence it is evident that the representatives of the ratepayers feel that they have been treated in an arbitrary manner, and consequently there has been a degree of resistance to the wishes of the central authority which even the guardians themselves, we presume, do not pretend alto- gether to defend. If relief could be administered efficiently and wisely without the workhouse test there would be no question as to th? wisdom of not building a workhouse, but experience shows that where workhouses do not exist, or what amounts to the same thing, where they are not used, pauperism increases to alarming nropor- tions, and the whole population is enervated. If the Lampeter Board had been able to appeal to a low percentage of pauperism in support of the course they have hitherto taken the argu- ment would have been a strong one, but, unfor- tunately, this is not the case, and Lampeter com- pares unfavourably even with other Welsh unions and as is well known Wales altogether has a greater percentage of paupers than even the poor districts of England. We do not desire to add to the irritation of the Guardians in their pre- sent trying circumstances, but there can be no doubt the wisest plan now would be to leave the
