THE GRANT TO ABERYSTWYTH COLLEGE. In the House of Commons on Friday Mr Stuart. Eendel called attention to the present pr s Rendel called attention to the present pf < tion of Aberystwyth College, and suggested that the college having, notwithatarding the report of the Departmental Committee, been left out of the scheme for higher education in Wales, the House would be of opinion that injury to the c u?3e of education in the Principality and discouragement to a great portion of the Welsh people would result unless measures were taken to place tbab college in respect of State recognition and support on an equal footing with the colleges at Cardiff and Bangor. The hon. member denied that the college of Aberystwyth, if retained, would interfere with Bangor, and pointed out that the retention had been asked for by twelve members for North Wales and by a very large number of public bodies. He demanded that State aid and State recognition should be given to Aberystwyth. Its transfer would merely mean its suppression and the con- T3tBion of its convertible assets to Bangor. Wales was a poor country, and had been stripped of her endowments for the benefit of England (hear, tear). The educational destitution was incon- ceivable. Her endowments only now amounted to about twopence per head-(hear, hear)—and she had exceptional burdens *o bear. Three* foarths of the students who came to Aberystwyth were from Mid-Wales, and if the college was suppressed that part of the country would be thrown back for generations, because he was satisfied a large pro- portion would never go to Bangor (hear, hear). Sir R. Cunliffe supported the appeal, and asserted that although Wales was a very poor country she received very much less for higher education pur- poses from imperial sources in proportion to her population than Scotland and Ireland. Mr Richard supported the motion, declaring that the people of Wales had an intense and pas- sionate desire for education, and that the college at Aberystwyth was especially deserving of con- sideration in the scheme for higher education in the Principality. He gave every credit to the Government for the way in which they had taken up the question of education in Wales. t Mr D. Davies maintained that though the Welsh members were asking the Government for more money, they had plenty to show in support of their demand. It in the future it could be proved that the money was not deserved, it could be with- held. Mr Morgan Lloyd joined with the other Welsh members in thanking the Government for what they bad done on behalf of education in Wales. He thought it not unreasonable that the Govern- ment should be asked to give, in addition to the £ 8000 a year already given to Wales for higher education, another sum of £1000 a ytar, which should go towards the support of Aberystwyth College. Mr Osboma Morgan said he hai no objection to take to the tone of the speech of bis hon. friend, but he did rise on behalf of the Government to re- spond to the numerous appeals made. In fact, he would join in the almost universal chorus that had been raised. 'He yielded to no man in the House or in the Principality in devotion to the cause the hon. member had at hesit. He was one of the first pioneers of the movement which bad resulted la the establishment of a college in Wales, for in 1353 he was engaged in such a movement as was to load to higher education in the Principality, and very uphill work it was. But if there was any place where there was a passionate desire for higher education it was in Wales, and there was Rosace where there were so little endowment for the-purpose. The colleges, however, for the most part, were founded by Churchiften,and it was almost impossible for Nonconformists to get in. It was an unfortunate circumstance that the monied class were Churchmen and the popular class Dissenters but, with the assistance of the late Sir Hugh O>fen, they founded thi^college, gn1 it was literally founded and supported for a long time by the pence of the poor. Oi;t of stsceen men sent from Aberystwyth. College to Oxford, four had obtained first clames aud ten had cbtpue1? honours, and this was more than could be said of any other establishment. Eton and Harrow could not produce such results. One thing was certain, an education must be given to the people within their reach. Cardiff aud Bangor would not do for them. He certainly thought a moderate grant should be made. Sir H. !IU8S"'Y Vivian supported the motion, and said that the cc llesre was eutit'ed to some grant. Mr Mundella said no one who had any acquaint- ance with the work done by Aberystwyth Lollege, ectablished as it was by the peace of the people of Wales, could over-estimate tho good service the -college had done to the course of education. It was really the parent of the subsequent movement for higher education in Wales, which was making such satisfactory progress. The objects of the college had been attained. If it closed Us doors to-morrow it would have done a noble work in the cause of Welsh education (cheers. It had not had, however, a highly successful career in regard to numbers, owing to the sito being unsuitable for the whole of Wales. He thought, therefore, the people had done wisely in selecting Carnarvonshire as the site for the North Wales College. The real question involved was whether thres colleges could co-exist and flourish together. If they could, then a very good case would be made out for further subsidisation. Aberystwyth College had the strongest claim —(cleers)—upon the sympathy not only of the Welsh people, but also on the House. What he proposed, therefore, was that in. quiries should be instituted into the actual con- dition of Aberystwyth College, and if it could be shown that the three colleges could co-exist with- out mutual disadvantage, then he shculd have to inquire into the financial position of Aberystwyth College and the amount of work it was doing. Considering the number of the students and the scope of the college at Aberystwyth, compared with the college at Bangor, it must be admitted that he could hardly give as much assistance to the one as to the other. He could not give any declaration, nor cculd anybody else, without further inquiry into the whole question (hoör, ^Mr'stanley Leighton hoped Mr Rendel would not be put off with fair words. He would suggest that instead of the £ 3,000 a year, which the Government were <;oin<! to grant, they should give a lump sum of JE250 000, which would be more pre- ferable (hear, hear); Mr Bryce assertel that the passion of education in Wales was greater than anywhere else. Mr Love-Jones-Parry said: —In this Hor-sa I cbse-v the golden rule of silence except vhen questions of great import to my countrymen come -under discussion. Wales has from tue ealiest time been knows under three divisions -Gwynedd, Powis and Deheudir. Powia, of which Aberys- twyth'is tho natural centre, is divided both from Gwynedd and Deheudir by physical divisions arising from the peculiar conformation of the country and the want of easy commumnntkn Bevond the fact of Aberystwyth being a resorc for summer visitors, and that some take advantage of the cheap trips to Aberystwyth. the country people of Gwynedd have no knowledge of the land of Pow-'a From South Carnarvonshire, calculated by the times of railway travelling, it is as far off J Crewe or even Staffed, and therefore I am not surprised to find that thq four counties of Carnar- von! Anglesey, Denbigh, and Flint do not con- tribute together one-sixth of the students at Aberystwyth College, and if Aberystwyth were disestablished the land of Powis would net send to the College of Gwynedd even the small pro- portion which Gwynedd now coutnontes to Aber- Wwvth. The beneficial usefulness of these eol- laees must of necessity be local (hear, hear). The students will come from th<> smaller shop keepers and the peasant farmers—men who serve bemnd the counter and those who plough their fields- men who in other countries would be content with the education provided in the elementary schools but who in Wales are most anxious to give their sons what they have felt the lzss of themselves and it was this aspiration, noble and distinguishing (hear, hear), which moved some 100,OKO poor persons to contribute to this college sums under 23 63 I say that it would be nothing short of a national crime )r this great and iioh nation to II ra'iiB- a grant of £ 4000 a year to the poorest of the three divisions of Wales (cheers), a population 1 who, by the success of the college under great disadvantages, have given proof of high in- telligence and of how greatly they appreciate the benefits of high-class education (hear, haar). I claim the vote of every Scotchman in this house. Last year they refused an annual grant of £ 40,000 to the Universities of Scotland. They insisted that it was utterly in- adequate. Taking population and taxation as the test to be applied, and occluding Monmouthshiie in Wales the annual grant to Wales should. re- lative to that offered to Scotland, be £ 17 000 (hear, hear). We only ask for £ 12,000. Scotland has also had grants amounting to upwards of £ 150,000 towards university buildings. We will erect and maintain our own buildings (hear, bear). And I also claim the support of my friends of all creeds. The principal of the college is a Calvinistic Methodist minister, and yet of the students from this college who have been admitted to orders or have joined the ministry of the Nonconforming churches the return is: -Episcopalians, 36; Calvin- istic Methodists, 39 Congregationalisms, 11; Baptists, 4; Wesleyacs, 3. The Welsh are a layal, law-abiding, quiet people. They have not risen in rebellion s nee Harry Tudor mounted the throne, whose son removed tha disabilities and grievances which previously pressed so heavily on my countrymen. Taffy is not continually raving and bellowing about supposititious grievances (hear, hear). No secret societies for murder and treason flourish on his mountain peaks, nor is dyta mite his idea of convincing argument (hear, hpar from Mr Biggar). He is thrifty and iadustrio is and pays hia rent and never shoots his landlord, nor has he emigrated at the expense of the emoire. The judges eagerly contest for the privilege of going the Welsh circuits, and invariably congra. tulate the grand juries on the paucity of crime, and especially of se ious and capital crime in the Prin- cipality. The record for Anglesey gaol not infre- quently is "white flag, white gloves." Shall this people appeal in vain to the Government of the Queen they love so well and respect so much, whose eldest son is proud to take his title from their country; and to a Ministry to whose support every county and borough in Wales returned a member, and with but two exceptions, one in the North and one in the South, the members for Wales are good Liberals (cheers). Sir R. Cross said the Welshmen iu Liverpool and other parts of Lancashire, of whom there was a large number, took a very great interest in this matter, and they would feel it a serious grievance if Aberystwyth College was closed. The subject then dropped.

MR. GLADSTONE AND ABERYSTWYTH COLLEGE. Mr Gladstone's secretary, writing from Downing. street last Saturday to Mr Lewis Morris respecting the memorial recently submitted to the Prime Minister, on behalf of Aberystwyth College, says Mr Gladstone is very sensible of the importance of this appeal for a grant of public money in aid of the funds of the college, and I am directed to say that the memorialists may rely upon it receiving from himself and his colleagues all the considera-, tion to which the importance of such representa- tion entitles it. I am further to say that those who bupport the prayer of the petition may be sure that whatever the decision of the Government on the subject may be, it will have in view how best to serve the interests of higher education in Wales generally, and that such decision will be taken without prejudice."

South Australia, its History, Productions, and Natural Resources, by J. P. STOW. Published bv E. Soiller, Government Printer, Adelaide. 1883. This book, cf 182 cages printed matter besides illustrations, maps, &c., was written "by request of the South Australian Government." Through the first nine chapters the rise and progress of the colony is traced. The coast was discovered and explored only so far back as 1801, then followed a series of exploratory expeditions, and thirty-five years elapsed before the first colonist stepped on shore. It was proclaimed a colony in 1837. It is, therefore, as yet under its jubilee, and the progress made in the forty-seven years from its foundation is simply marvellous. Mr Stow tells, in his most interesting fashion, the story of the" changes. fortunes it has passed the various governors, the co' stitution of the two Houses of Parliament, the land laws and their amendments, the determi- nation to have no State Church in the social sphere, the increase of inhabitants, the progress of agriculture, the mineral discoveries, railways and telegraphs, and so on. At the end of each- chapter the author gives a summary of the progress in the period he has .passed under review. The story is brought down to the autumn of 1883. Then follow chapters on the constitution, on Adelaide, agriculture in its various branches, the mines, trade and revenue, rainfall, religion and education, public works, the Aborigines, the flora and fauna, and the northern territory. Tables of statistics, carefully compiled and verified, maps, plans, charts, minutely and well executed, form an appendix, which is not the least valuable part of the book. The illustrations also are very good. I It would be impossible to suggest any improve- ment ou the way Mr Stow has done his work. His style is clear and forcible. His evidence is im- partial, there is no rose-colouring, he tells faults as well as excellencies. Ther^ seems a splendid future before this enterprising colony of about 300,000, their land laws are good. and they have manhood suffrage. How well these work can be gathered from the book before us. If one is in- tending to emigrate thither, this book is a sine qua. non; and every intelligent man who reads it will get many a hint on politics, and will have a keener interest in the development of this young section of Greater Britain.

A DECENT II UldON" JOBBERY. SIB,—Allow me a small space in your valuable paper to draw attention to the following instance of what occasionally takes place among the guard- ians of the Carnarvon Union. The other day I visited a very respectable, and one of the most ex tansively-patronised grocery shops within the limits of the town of Carnarvon. As I was having a friendly conversation with the shopkeeper upon some subject or other, a woman came in ana handed a piece of paper to the shopkeeper without even a word of explanation as to its contents and purport, and out she went. He read it over and afterwards handed it to me. Apparently it was a printed circular inviting tenders for supplying fie guardians, of the Oarnarvon Union with grocery, provisions, &o. In a rather inquisitive manner (though innocent of any suspicion), I happened to ask him if be intended to send in a tender, when he sarcastically replied in the negative, stating that it woulc' be p^fectly useless for him to do so. U pen 33me further 1 jquisition.on that point(though I felt it wes a delicate one), he explained upon good authority, instances wherein another respectable firm of tradesmen in the drapery line. whose names commanded in my mind and in the minds of all who are acquainted with them the highest confidence and respect, hai been somewhat unfairly dealt with. This firm sent in their tender, which was evidently a very considerable amount below the genuine price. However, the consequence was that their tender was rejected. Another tradesman simul- taneously sent in a tender, and this was virtually accepted. Now, sir, allow me to explain (accord- ing to the shopkeepe's assertions) the secret of this process. The successful tender was a tender sent under disguise, i.e., a member of the guard- ians induced one of his fellow-tradesmen to send a tender in his own name, and that he would eventually vote in its favour in the meeting. This I was evidently accomplished. The illegality of his modu8 operandi in this instance is unquestionable. I Now, I should like to know if it is true. My in- formant might have been wrong; but if accurate the whole transaction is absolutely unfair, and not only thiat, but was an injustice on the part of all who were concerned M. R. D.

DEATH OF LORD MOSTYN. The death took place it noon on Monday of the Right Hon. Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn, at his ancestral seat, Mostyn Had, Flintshire, where his lordship was born on the 13th of January, 1795, having thus attained his 90th year. Lord iiostyn had been suffering for some days from pneumonia and congestion of the lungs. Lord Mostyn was the representative of an honoured Welsh family, being a di ect descendant in the (line of house of Tudor, who was reckoned to be lineally descended from Vortigern, the unfortunate king of Britain, who fi-st* invited the Saxons over to this country, and who married Gwladus, daughter of Hywel Dda, king .f all Wales. Lord Mostyn adopted in its strictest sense the words of one of his ancestors, when invited by Henry, after the bat'le of Bos- worth, to attend court, I dwell among mine own people," and except when attending to his Parlia- mentary duties, was seldom absent from Mostyn Hall. He was the second Lord Mostyn, of Mostyn, Flintshire, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the elder and only surviving son of Edward Pryce, first lord, by marriage with Elizabeth, third daughter of the late Sir Roger Mostyn. His lord- ship was educated at Westminster School, and was one of the few surviving Liberals of the old school who sat in the unreformed House of Commons. He was first returned to St. Stephen's as member for Flintshire in 1831, and sat till 1837, when he was defeated by Sir Stephen Glynse, Bart. (brother- in-law of Mr Gladstone). In the next election in 1841 Lord Mostyn was again victorious, but he was unseated on petition, and was returned un- opposed to represent the city of Lichfield In 1847 Lord Mostyn was again returned for Flintshire, and retained the seat until 1854, when, on the death of his father, he entered the House of Lords, and the seat for Flintshire was gained bv his eldest son, the Hon. Thomas Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn: who retained it up to death in 1861, when he was followed by Lord Richard Grosvenor. Lord Mostyn married, in 1826, Lady Harriet Scott, daughter of the Earl of Clonmel, who survives him, but who is now in delicate health, and by her had five sons and four daughters. He is succeeded by las grandson, Mr Llewelyn Nevill Vaughan Lloyd Mostyn, of Gloddaeth, eldest son of the late Hon. T. E. M. LI. Mostyn and Lady Augusta Mostyn, who was born in 1856, and married Lady Clements, sister of the present Earl of Leitrim. The death of Lord Mostyn will throw several noble families into mourning, and the announcement of his death will cause general regret throughout North Wales. The funeral will take place at Llanrho8 Church. Gloddaeth, at half-past twelve o'clock, to-day (Friday). FLINTSHIRE POLITICS.-Flintshire has nevar returned more than one member. Since the reform act there have been numerous contests between the Mostyn and the Glynne families. In August. 1837, Sir Stephen R. Glynne was successful in dofeating the Hon. E. Lloyd Mostyn they again contested the county in July, 1841, when Mr Mostyn was returned by a majority, but he was unseated on petition, and Sir S. R. Glynne held the seat until August, 1847, when Mr Mostyn was elected. The next contest was in March, 1857, when Mr T. Lloyd Mostyn and Sir S. R. Glynne were the candidates, and the former was success- ful, the figures of the poll on that occasion being— Mostyn, 1171; Glynne, 876. These were the only political associations of Sir Stepben Glynne with the countv, but he represented the Flint Boroughs in the first two Parliaments after the reform act.

SUPPOSED POISONING OF A HUS- BAND AT CARNARVON. On Monday last, before Mr J. H. Roberta, dis- trict coroner, and a jury, an inquest was held on the body of John Parry, 45, a barber and hair- dresser, of Carnarvon, who died very suddenly on Monday evening.—Jane Parry, wife of the deceased, said that her husband had of late suffered from an asthmatic [complaint, and that when he came home from the shop on Saturday evening he complained of being ill. She made a cup ot tea for him, which he took, and they then went to bed, this being between eleven and twelve o'clock. She was out about ten o'clock on that night for about an hour. When she returned she found him in the house with the child, and as soon as she came in he began complaining of being unwell. On Sunday he was much better, and on Monday he felt so well that he went out. He im- mediately returned, however, and getting worse, had to be placed in bed about half-past twelve. About four o'clock she went to call a doctor in, and Dr Griffith arrived at about seven o'clock, and was present when the deceased died. Mrs Wil- liams, a neighbour, came in about seven o'clock, afld remained till the deceased died. Deceased was insured foe £ 10.—Mrs Margaret Williams, was insured or £ 10.—Mrs Margaret Williams, the woman referred to above, said she heard the previous witness crying at the door on Monday evening, and that she (witness) went in. Having gone into the house she found that the deceased was in a dying state, and asked hi1 wife if she had sent for a doctor. She answered in tbe affirmative, and a medical man shortly afterwards came in. Witness remained in the house till deceased died. He did not appear to be in any pain, neither did he complain of any pain in the bowels. Imme- diately on her arrival at the house, the deceased said, "That man hasbeen the cause of my death." Witness thereupon asked deceased's wife who he meant, and she replied, Oh, he means the boy that we have reared.After this evidence the' jury decided to adjourn in order to view the body. Having re-assembled Mrs Williams was further examined. She sa'd that when she went to the house the deceased's wife asked deceased if she should put a pillow under his head, when he re- plied, "No, villain, I want to be left alone now, only Jesus Christ and myself together,P.C. John Pritchard said he had been acquainted with deceased for years. Deceased had complained to him about his wife. He had asked witness to watch her, as he was rather i ealous of her. He mentioned a particular man's name as the one he suspected.-Dr G. R. Griffith said he had attended on deceased several times during the last two years. He suffered from consumption. He saw him a few minutes before be died. The symptoms were con- sistent with ordinary phthisis and delirium, cr they might be consistent with death from poison- ing, but he had no reason to believe that he had been poisoned. He had signed a certificate of death, in which he stated the cause of death to be phthisis.—A Juror (to the witness): Did you see the corpse after death ?—Witness: N 0.- The Juror: I think you ought to see it. The bowels have swelled immensely and the face is discoloured. —Witness: That is nothing at all unusual in a case of phthisis -The jury, after a short conaultan tion. decided to have a post-mortem 'examination of the body, and the inquest was therefore adjourned.
