FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1872. THE time is very near at hand when the session of Parliament must be brought to a close. A month at the most remains to conclude the fulfilment of the ministerial programme, even if the prorogation be postponed till somewhat beyond the usual time. Mr. GLADSTONE has,experienced the impracticability of prolonging the session far into August. Jaded legislators cannot stand this extension of what are really arduous labours in those cases where they are rigidly and conscientiously performed. So this year, as in years before, what business cannot be concluded within the next three or four weeks will have to be postponed,, and go to swell existing arrears. In looking at what has been accomplished, and what' remains to be done, at the time devoted to party discussions, and what has been and remains to be devoted to practical and much- needed social legislation, we confess to experi- encing a feeling of disappointment, and to realis- ing vividly a truth which has been enunciated, that the time of the session, according to the present way of conducting business, is really not sufficient for the requirements of the country. Of course there have been extra- ordinary impediments to business this ses- sion but then there nearly always are, such impediments of some kind or other. A foreign war breaks out and distracts the attention of legislators a critical negotiation with some great power provokes ''endless discussions a Ministerial crisis oceurs a Budget breaks down and has to be ^reconstructed; special legislation has to be undertaken for Ireland or Scotland a measure of a party nature occupies an unexpectedly long time in its progress a dead lock occurs between the I-louses-it is always something that prevents the realisation of the anticipations signified in the Ministerial programme. This jear the American difficulty has been the great impediment to busi- ness. It is not only, the vast amount of time that lias been expended in questions and answers, criticisms and explanations,. statements and dis- • curious upon this question, tlij distraction of attention and the disturbing of men's minds, indisposing them for ordinary work, which is, to be regretted by the country. Pro- bably, besides a great deal in other ways, these annoying find now happily 'defunct claims will have cost us two or three good laws, for which the country, or large sections of it, are anxiously await- ing. Then there has been the Ballot Bill, taking up the time and provoking disagreement between the two Houses of Parliament. It would have been better perhaps if this question had not been dealt with in the way of practical legislation until the Liberal party had gone, to the.country on the subject. A verdict of the constituencies in favour of the principle would have saved much discussion in the Lower House, and have mollified opposition in the Upper. When the Bill was under dis-' cussion by their lordships, one of their number re- marked that the loss of time over this measure was deplorable, considering how many much more practically important and beneficial measures were awaiting consideration and he instanced the Mines Bill, Public Health Bill, and the Licensing Bill. Although we do not altogther agree with the noble lord, it is nevertheless to be regretted that so much delay hos taken place. As, however, the Peers are themselves mainly responsible for it, and have done more to irritate and vex the country than could have been expected after the warning they received last year, the objection contains an implied reproof to the Upper House which may have a beneficial effect, coming as it did from one of themselves. The important measures alluded to doubtless occasion very considerable anxiety to the Government. It is these measures which now form the difficulty of the Cabinet and of Parliament. If they are dropped and Ministers or ordinary members of the Lower House plead as an excuse the time occupied in the discussion of the American difficulty and the Ballot Bill, they will be told, in effect, by the press and by their constituents that they have failed to do what was absolutely necessary in the interest of the country. Without' these Bills being turned into statutes, we shall have complaints again of a barren Session and yet so little disposable time remains that it is most likely they will be passed, if passed at all, without due consideration and will netid amendment next year. If they are left over, so much will be added to those arrears of Par- liamentary workwhich are now continually accumu- lating, and our legislators, when they re-assemble, will again have forced upon them a task, to which many by this time must be habituated, of imitating SYSIPHUS in rolling the stone of legislation labori- ously up the hill of impracticability, only to find it at the bottom when exhausted by the effort. It is assuredly one of the great defects of our Parlia- mentary system, that it wastes a large amount of time quite unnecessarily. If our legislators cannot in any Session finish off their work on any parti- cular question, they have to begin afresh and do all over again the next year. Thus it was with the Ballot Bill, which has occupied so much of their time. If measures were taken up at the beginning of a Session where they were left at the end of a pre- ceding one, more would be done to forward business than by morning sittings and debates prolonged long after midnight, to the disgust of members, the ruin of health, the discomfort of families, and the misery "of every one connected with the daily press. Possibly we shall have an alteration for the better by the close of the present century. It is too much to expect a change before. Mr. SPEAKER still wears his robes, and wig the "bauble" still lies on the table in front of the chair the officials of the House continue to appear in what is absurdly called court dress reporters are supposed" to be non-existent and the shallow farce of a "count out" is still tolerated. Indeed, almost the only Tory of the old school left in the country is the House of Commons in its collec- tive and corporate capacity, and the sooner it is converted from the error of its ways of formal procedure the better for individual members and the people at large.

TORY TACTICS IN CARDIFF. It is a matter of general regret that an announce nient has been made by the Tory party of their inten- tion to get up a pubiiu demonstration, in the Sophia Gardens, during the weak that the Royal Agricultural Show will be open in Cardiff. This monstrous pro- position has cailed forth condemnation in various quar- ters, and we are reluctantly forced to notice the sub- ject in consequence of the indignation which this latest j act of political inconsistency upon the part of the Tories has excited. It seems that their purpose is to give what is called a fete, in connection with a local society called the Cardiff Constitutional Asso- ciation," at -which speeches will be delivered and other amusem'ents" be provided for the members and such visitors as the promoters may be able to glean from the throDgs which will crowd into the town on the occasion of the Show. Probably the Claimant" would have been asked to attend and support Mr. Giffard, if it werw not that the learned counsel knows too much for him," and the contiguity of Mr. Biggs' residence— who declared at Swansea he recognised the pseuuo Sir Roger as Arthur Orton-might make things un- pleasant. However, an alfresco entertainment would be nothing without feats of legerdemain, comic siug- iug, tight-rope dancing, mountebank performances, and fireworks. Possibly some political juggler will amuse the Tories by showing them what tricks may be played with the Ballot Box, while other conjurors attract attention with the balls, for which voting papers are to be substi- tuted. Mr. Sherley will probably do the Stump oratory, and no doubt plenty of volunteers will be found ready to make themselves ridiculous as comic vocalists or niggers." Mr. Disraeli might be asked to walk upon the tight rope, balance-pole in band. As he was once depicted in that pleasing attitude by Punch, and being versatile beyond his fellows, he would probably have no difficulty in adding that part to the rôle he has sustained so well since he set out in early days from Cardiff as an author and Radical of the Democratic type. The pyrotechnic display will consist of squibs directed against the Liberal party, while the rhetorical performances of the perpetual candidate for Cardiff, and Lord Bute's legal agent, will add, as circus bills say, to the scintillating corruscation of glory with gorgeous spectacular effect." But to be serious. In common with the public at large we deeply regret that an attempt should be made, with inconceivable bad taste, to obtrude upon the notice of the community at such an untoward time. It is universally understood that the Royal Agricultural Society is non-political, and in every place where the show has hitherto been hld, no such display of • vulgar enthusiasm has beea permitted. At a time when efforts are being made to induce the Prince of Wales to visit the show, the announcement is singularly ill timed, since it is generally known that his Royal Highness has the greatest abhorrence of the Tories, and would regard the obtrusion of their views, at a public gathering, as most obnoxious and nearly akin to deliberate insult. It is all the more unfortdnate that this Tory Fete" is said to be under the patronage of the Marquis of Bute. We trust that his iordship will repudiate this statement, since it is very difficult to believe he will consent to sanction a meeting calculated to cause considerable annoyance to the public at large, and which has probably received the countenance of his agents without having been made known to himself in the first instance. What would have been said of Liberals had they attempted such a thing, we tremble to think. Of course they'could not have obtained the Sophia Gardens or the Drill Hall, which are devoted exclusively to the Tories as a place of meeting. But it may be, even now, that some rashpersou will determine to get up an opposition fete, and if they do thousands will decline to visit the Show, and the town will lose considerably in consequence o a dread respecting disturbances which may arise. We hope and believe that the Liberals will evince their wonted good taste, and by refraining from such" a course, set the Tories an example worthy of imitation and that Lord Bute will withdraw his patronage from a political gathering at.a time when, by common consult, the considerate portion ■*

THE WELSH CHOIR IN LONDON.. ,I The announcement Of the success of the Welsh Choir at the Crystal Palace, yesterday, .reached the office of this journal last, evening, and cr'eated considerable gratification to enormous crowds assembled in the streets in anxious expectation. It appears that no competitor entered the list?, and the Welsh Choral Union —to use a sporting phrase—" walked over the course," and won the prize easily. Indeed, no one who had heaid the rehearsal could entertain any doubt respecting ihe issue, even if other choirs could have been found to compete against the indomitable Wel-hnaen. In another column our Special Correspondent supplies much interesting infor- mation, respecting the proceedings at the Palace, and in due course full particulars as to the formal presenta- tion of the valuable trophy will be published. Meau- whileWe congratulate the choir upon their well-deserved success, and the Principality upon the circumstance that the champion vase for choral singing, has been won by the hardy sons and daughters of a land dis- tinguished alike for its patriotism, poetry and tradi- tional fondness for minstrelsy and song.

REGISTER In these days of greater political activity and en- lightenment it is scarcely necessary to repeat, with threefold force and emphasis, Sir Robert Peel's famous watchword, Register But as the time for sending in new claims is rapidly approaching, it is very im- portant that some influential or active electors in each parish and district, should take a little interest to see that all persons who are entitled to vote are pro- perly registered. Those who are not already on the list must send in their claims on or, before the 20th instant, otherwise it will be too late to secure their votes this year. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that information and assistance can be obtained, free of expense, by applying to Mr. T. H. Davis, of Swansea.

THE MANIA FOR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. Limited-liability companies are still being formed with such rapidity, that it may be well to point out a defect in the law the remedying of which would prevent investment in the worst of these schemes. People con- templating investment can learn nothing from the prospectus of any company except that which is favourable to the company, disagreeable truths being carefully kept out. It is in the articles of association that the weak points must be looked for. Tnese articles are never published with the prospectus, the memo- randum of association" being quite a different thing; but they are occasionally to be seen at the office." As no one writing for a copy can ever get one, this de- positing of the articles is a practical farce. It is true that on purchasing a shilling stamp and affixing it to 'an application for the official documents connected with any registered company, you can see these docu- ments, including the articles of association, at Ser- jeant's Inn; but even then you can take no extracts from them, but must pay for an official copy, including a great deal you do not want, at fourpence a folio. All this is an intolerable nuisance, and it will be absolutely necessary to amend the law next session, in order that more ready access may be afforded to important docu- ments, and the fullest guarantee against impos- ture and fraud, furnished to the community.

AN INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES MOBBED IN THE RHONDDA VALLEY. On Thursday a telegraph message was received by the Nuisance Inspector of the Pont\piiid Union, sent by'Dr. Rhys, Treherbort, requesting him to come up with the ambulance and carry a person suffering from small-pox to the Pontypridd hospital. As the inspector's duties comprise the removal of small-pox patients in the district when necessary to the hospital adjoining the Union House, 'he, with a proper seme of the responsibility of his office, speedily reached the place mentioned in the telegram—-the lower end of Treherbert. For some reason or other, or probably from no reason at all, a strong prejudice seems to prevail in tlie llboudda Valley against any person being taken to the loe-il hospital. It is of little use to explain that every attention is paid to the sufferers; that constant medical attention is secured that in every respect the most favourable conditions surround the patient to ensure a recovery. The notion still prevails that should a person be received within the walls of the sanatorium lie must leave all hope behind." With this general feeling prevailing, the inspector, with the now well- kdown ambulance, made his appearance in Trclierbut, as aforesaid, and stopped at the door of the patient ordered to be removed. The place was comparatively quiet, and nothing indicated the storm that was to blu st over the devoted inspector's head. After entering the house the patient was seen to be delirious, and was tied down. While considering what was to be done, the peculiarly discordant hum of an excited and aroused populace fell upon his cars. On going outside he .found the main street crowded, and the people evidently from their menacing tones and gestures Lent on interfering the inspector in the execution of his duty. To put a speedy end to the critical state of affairs, some two or three individuals, fully prepared for action, advanced to the inspector, and in courteous but unmis- takable tones, suggested to him that he should, with the least possible delay, leave Treherbert, taking the empty ambulance with him. For a moment he hesitated, but when a strong hint was thrown out that, the ambulance would in n. few moments be converted into firewood, his respect for the guardians' property overcame all consideration of personal safety, and he leit the villagers the exulting masters,of the field.

SWANSEA BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The weekly, meeting of the Swansea Board of Guar- dians was held yesterday at the Workhouse, Mount Pleasant. Mr. J. D. Llewelyn occupied the chair, and the following gentlemen were present: Messrs. E. Bath and E, Daniel' (vice-chairmen), J. M. Eliery, T. Phillips, G. B. Brock, T. Powell, J. Rogers, P. Rogers, T, Harry, T. Jenkins, Z. Evans, J. Joues, T. Davies, J. Powell, J. Jones, and the Rev. G. P. Evans. Mr. EDW.U;I> BATH brought up a report from the Finance Committee, which recommended that a num- ber of bills be paid.. Mr. I-Ümw congratulated the Beard upon beiug in a better position financially than it had been since ho had been a guardian. Mr. ELI.EHY said he was glad that the committee had taken up the question of prompt payment. He was convinced that it would result in their having a larger number of tenders than have been sent in hitherto. It was only the previous day that he was speaking to a tradesman, and expressed his surprise that the Guardians did not receive a larger number of tenders when they advertised. The trades- man told him that on one occasion he supplied articles to the workhouse, and that considerable delay occurred before he received his money. The report of the Finance Committee was adopted. Mr. ELLERY said he "wished to can attention to some inequalities of the assessment in the Gower Union. He was aware that they had nothing to do with the poor rates in Gover, but they were affected by the county rates. He had made inquiries as to the rating of some of the residences of gentlemen in Gower, and he found that many of them did not pay so much rates for their mansions as many of the tradesmen who lived in Swansea paid for their places of business. Fairy-hill, house and grounds, covering four acres, was rented at £60; StoutbatJ, with five acres, at £100; Kilv- rough, with live acres, at £100; Penrice, Castle, park and pleasure grounds, 40 acres, at £170; Woodland Castle, house, garden, and grounds, 19 acres, at The ■gentry in the neighbourhood of Swansea had to pay at a higher rate. Mr. Dillvryn's (M.P.) resi- dence was rated at £210, Mrs. Vivian's at £450, and the farm at £373, Sketty Hall at £190, Sketty Park at £244, and others in proportion. He would repeat that this Board was not affected by the poor rates paid in respect of the mansions in Gower, but they were affected by the loss which resulted to the county rate. He would thereforei move the following resolution,—" That the attention of the Guardians of this Union having, from time to time, been directed to the subject of an alleged inequality in the assessment of the Gower Union to the county rates, particularly to the assessment of certain mansions in the union and bouse property generally, it be now resolved that a copy of this minute be forwarded to the county rating committee, and they be respectfully asked to fully consider the matter with a view to obtain- ing a fair valuation of the propertiesiu question." He had spoken .to some gentlemen on the subject, and it had been said that the value of the mansions was the sum which they would actually fetch if they were to be let. He did not take this view of the matter. 11.0 supposed that when the mansions were built the owners did not intend to let them. However, if the residences were let he was certain they would realise a larger sum, than that at which they were now assessed. Mr. JAMES ROGERS said he was glad that Mr. Enery had brought forward the subject. It was high time that some arrangement should be made by which the contributions of tiie Swansea Union to the county funds should be lessoned, and the contributions of the Gower Union be increased. Mr. ELLEUY said he had omitted to mention that some of the tradesmen in Temple-street were rated to nearly ,£1[;0. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. James Rogers, was carried unanimously. The Guardians acceded to an application of the schoolmistress, ahd granted her twelve days' leave of absence. This was the j, <• £ the puv!i«

FOREIGN NOTES. THlI PRUSSIAN OCCUPATION.—The Avenir National announces that the expected evacuation has already indi- rectly commenced. Letters have been addressed from Berlin to the generals who command the troops of occupa- tion, containing very presise and severe orders concerning discipline, and the relations between soldiers and inhabi- tants, so that the unfortunate French peasants will, for the period before the, evacuation, have some protection from disturbance. In the thoroughly annexed provinces the steady Germans are plodding on in the manufacture of new andseemingly impregnable fortifications. At Strasbur, on the [French side,|it is intended to construct an immensa intrenched camp, capable of containing 200,000 men, and connected with the town by 5 forts. These are the fort of Reichstett to the north; the Suffelweyersheim fort; tho Kied^rhauabergen, Oberhausbergen, and Wolfisheim forts. The first two will dominate the Lauterburg road and Paris railway; the third the Bouxweller road; and the other two, the Saverne road and Bruche Canal. At Metz the fortifications are also rapidly progressing. These great preparations are significant. THE STATUE OF BISHOP BELZUNCE.—The levelling prin- ciples of the Red Republicans have been amusingly illustrated by the Municipal Council of Marseilles, who, having discovered that a statue had been raised in one of the public squares to the memory of Bishop Belzunse, a hero of the time of the terrible pestilence in 1720, have, after due consideration, declared that—" Seeing that statues erected on the public thoroughfare, to the memory of men famed for- acta of devotion, ought only to havie a character of historical homage, without any spirit of political or religious party; seeing that the statute of M. Belzunce was erected at Marseilles during a period of Bonapartist and clerical reaction by a municipal council which flew to obey the behests of tho perjurer of the 2nd of December, and the violater of tho Constitution of 1848; seeing that if the statue of Belzunce recalls the memories of 1720, nevertheless it is the work of the enemies of the Republic and of democracy, &c., &c.; therefore the statue is to fall." Such an act of vandalism is compatible with tho Commune, but surprises one in a Republic. THE FBENCH PBOTESTAXT SYNOD.—On Monday last the members of the French Protestant Synod seemed to have been receiving a lesson in non-dignity from their National Assembly. The question to be discussed was the forma- tion of the" consistoires," which the oommittee proposed should be formed of all tho pastors of the district, with double the number of laymen. The Right, or Conservative portion of the Synod, wanted the immediate adoption of the committce's plan, but the others proposed i>1') many amendments that M. Vaurigaud accused them of adopting a system of amendments without end in order to reduce tho Synod to powerlei>snes. Up jumpea members of the Left to declare that the uttercr of such words was 1\.11 impertinent rascal. A tremendous uproar followed, in no way appeased by the appearance of M. Vaurigaud in tho tribune to make explanations; he was pale with emotion though collected, but the Left, who have forgotten manners, yelled such epithets as "Liar," Inso- lent," Impertinent! The Right immediately jumped up and demanded tho recall to order of tho Left, and M. Vaurigaud was obligad to give over spea]¡i¡, when, how- ever, peace was rei>torotl. Every amendment of the Left. was rejected. and the tmsemhle of the committee's proposal accepted. Tho next (hy tho various articles worc succes- sively adopted. THE XATHXXAT, ASS MIII.Y.—M. Tlriers's speech was the event of Tuesday afternoon's sitting in the French Assembly at Versailles. Faithful to his promise, h ascended tho tribune loaded with documents to prove tha possibility of raising -12,OOO,OOClf. immediately from the taxation of raw material, and 13,000,000f. more at the. expindionof tho treaties" with Engblld and Belgium. 1\1. Thiers said, ncccptiJl tho moderntc estimate of the committee on tariffs, the tax on cotton would yield 8,000,000f.; the tax on wool, 7,500,0Q0f.; on silk, (>,000,000f.; on flax and hemp," 0:1 oleaginous seeds and oils, wood, 2,000,000f.; 0n dye stuffs" 3,000,000f.; on fruits and provisions, 3,000,000f.; and on skins and articles used.in medicine, 4,500,000f.; in all 00,000,OuOf. Respecting the remaining 33,000.000f., making up a total of 93,000,000f" M. Thiers said he was convinced that negotiations would onabje the Government to obtain 18,0ft0,000f. of that amount.

Gloucestershire, writes to a Bristol contemporary as f'Jllows A short time hefore Dr. Jenner died ho commenced :1. work on the transformation of the tadpole to the toad. I assisted him in making sketches of it, shewing the gradual absorption of the tail of the tadpole by the intestines until it became a perfect toad. There is no person now living so well acquainted with Dr. Jeliner's social and domestic habits of life as I am. I was with him tho chief part of my time; his house I considered almost as my home; and I was the only person present at bis break- fast table when he fell in a fit of apoplexy of which he died. I bled him immediately, and my father, just upon it, by chance came in and opened the temporal artery. "What events and what anecdotes I hold now in mind which must soon pass into the shadea of oblivion! My father was the only apprentice Dr. Jenner ever had; he was likewise a pupil of the celebrated Mr. Hunter. Many experiments were made upon me when a child to prove the efficacy of vaccination: exposed in various ways to the influence of smallpox, put in bed with people that died with it, but never could be made to take the infection. I have been the father of fifteen childreh, nine of which are now living and well. The two eldest, as well as myself and wife, were Y:Lecil:!1:tc(1 1,y my uncle. Dr. Jenner, and all have been exposed to the smallpo* without ever taking it." The Londcndcvry Sentinel says:—"It is not improbable that a vacancy in the Parliamentary reprasen- iation of Derry will occur in a short time. In this case wo may say we have authority for statin'g that a gentleman of acknowledged ability, of principle, position, ami, meaRt intends to solicit the representation of our ancient city. The gentleman we refer to will utter no uncertain sound ou the advantages of united education."
