MR. GLADSTONE'S resignation, for a time at least,, of his position as chief of the Liberal party in the House of Commons, has been felt as a sore blow by all true Liberals in the House and the country, and such men as Mr. Baines have been fitly occupied in endeavouring to bring about a better understanding between the Opposition and its leader. Not in the course of recent Parliamentary history has the Liberal party been so dependent as at present upon the abilities and experience of one man for guidance and direction. The cluster of statesmen who adorned the front Liberal benches when Russell and Palmerston were at the helm, has been broken up, and there are no men now like Cornewall Lewis and Sidney Herbert to whom the party can look in an emergency. Mr. Gladstone, in fact, has be- come as necessary to the Liberals as Mr. Dis- raeli has long been to the Conservatives, and the desertion of either from his accustomed post in the House would be the temporary an- nihilation of the party he has led. No doubt, there are many who believe that such a result, either among the Liberals or Conservatives, could properly be no cause of regret to their political opponents. But this is not the view that the thoughtful and intelli- gent men who compose the great bulk of the English nation are likely to entertain, and a brief experience of such state of things would be sufficient to prove its disastrous effects upon the general well-being of the country. The candid and impartial student of political affairs knows well how much England owes to party organisation, and that the brilliant rivalry of men like Pitt and Fox has built up the na- tion's greatness. It is well, indeed, that. no party in the House can at any time have all its own way, and that, by the division of statesmen into two great and opposing groups, we have a system of check and countercheck which effectually secures the general modera- tion and wisdom of our legislative measures. It would be a bad day for the country if this rivalry should cease to exist, or if at any time circumstances should arise to stultify one party in the State. We do not anticipate such a result from the misunderstanding which now has arisen be- tween the Liberals and their chief. The efforts of Mr. Baines, Mr. Crawford, and others will no doubt secure the reconciliation of Mr. Glad- stone and his usual supporters, for he has still the great majority of the party with him. Mr. Gladstone himself can scarcely expect that anything like absolute unanimity will exist in the Liberal ranks; and although party has its claims, there are other considerations of still greater importance. The Reform question, out of which the difference has arisen, is pre- cisely the one on which a division of party to a greater or less extent might have been anti- cipated with certainty. The same thing has occurred on both sides of the House, and the Conservatives, indeed, have had to encounter the most serious defection. If men like Gen- eral Peel and Lord Cranborne could find their way to Mr. Gladstone's side in the lobby on a Reform division, he could neither wonder nor complain with justice if some of his own sup- porters were seen for the time among his ad- zn versaries. If we do not conclude that the breach will last, neither do we believe that it is likely to be healed by the seceding Liberals reversing their recent course of action. The inclination to act with their party is not so strong as the determination to secure a sound and useful measure, according to their own idea of what such a measure would be. Circumstances may yet arise, as the bill progresses, to bring them back to the Liberal ranks, just as Lord Cran- borne and his friends may again be found len- ding all their help to the Conservative leader. But paramount above all these considerations in the mind of the country is the desirability of dealing at once and satisfactorily with the question of Reform, and, whatever political leaders on either side may think, the nation will thank all who make such a settlement their first aim, and give party feeling and party allegiance a secondary place in their regard. 6
BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.
BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Monday last, at the Town Hall, before John Davies, Esq., mayor, and Joseph Joseph, Esq. DRUNK AND DISORDFRLY.-David Price and Lewis Lewis, appeared to their recognizances, charged by P.O. Williams, with being drunk and disorderly, on Sunday morning last, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock. Mr. Games appeared for Lewis. P.C. Williams deposed that he was on duty on Saturday night last; he was standing on the top of Ship Street talking to John Lewis, shoemaker, and Thomas Harris, formerly a river watcher; he heard some persons calling out there are the b y bums and the bobbies on looking round he saw the two prisoners he requested them to go home quietly and not make a noise they still continued to make use of very bad language, that they would shortly have their jackets on, meaning the militia clothes, and they could bid the bobbies defiance; he again requested them to go home quietly, and went after them; they continued creating a disturbance previous to his following them, he had some conversation with Mr. Jones the Brewery, who called him (witness); he told the prisoners that if they did not go home quietly he would take them to the lock up they still per- sisted in making a noise and making use of bad language, and just opposite the Swan he appre- hended the both, and took them up Market Street; when near the Queen's Head they tried to trip him up, and they all fell, but he was the uppermost, and after some difficulty he got them to the station. Mr. Games cross-examined Williams at great length. Thomas Harris, formerly a river watcher, deposed that he was talking to Mr. Williams, the police, at the top of Ship Street, in company with John Lewis they had been at the Blue Boar as they were coming up the Watton they tried to get a glass of beer at the Cock and Horse, but it was too late, it had struck 12 by the barracks clock when they were on the top of Ship Street, he saw the prisoners going down the street, when they were a little way down, they called out" there are the b- y bums and the bobbies;" Williams re- quested them to go on home quietly, but they con- tinued making use of bad language; Williams cautioned them that if they did not go home peaceably and make less noise, he would take them to the lock up both of the men were drunk Lewis was not so drunk as the other Williams had some conversation with Mr. Jones the brewery, on the Top of Ship Street, after which, Williams' went after the two prisoners who were in front calling out and making use of very foul languao-e Williams again cautioned them and went up°to them it was just opposite the Swan Williams told them that if they did not go on he should take them into custody, which he did Lewis tried to trip Williams up; he (witness) cried out to Williams to mind, that they were trying to trip him, but Williams had both in hold, and when they were near the Queen's Head, they again tried to trip Williams, but they fell, and Williams was uppermost; Williams then took them to the sta- tion house. John Lewis was called and said that he had nothing more to say than what had been said by Williams and Harris, only that what they said was correct. Mr. Games then addressed their worships at great length, and called Roger Parry, who deposed that he was in the employ of Mr. Jones the Brewery they left the brewery about 12 o'clock, it might be two minutes before or it might be two minutes after 12 o'clock, he could not be certain they generally stopped drawing about a quarter to 12 o'clock he went home in company with three other persons; one of them who was shorter than the others, went before them and cried out and asked Harris if he was going home the two prisoners were, then behind witness and the others the person who called out to Harris ran away over the bridge; when Williams the police followed, he did not hear either of the prisoners say anything; Lewis was doing all he could to get Price home Price was very drunk, Lewis was not drunk, but he had been drinking when he went home he parted with his master and mistress, and William Davies, at the top of Ship Street; his master went to talk to Mr. Williams the police about something, and they went down the street; he saw Williams the police coming down Ship Street, followed by Harris and Lewis; he did not see the prisoners attempt to do anything to Williams he heard Lewis say to Price hold up and don't be a foal man Williams was close to them down by the Swan, and they went against him because Price was very drunk and could not help it; Williams then took the both in custody, and went up Market Street towards the Station he heard the prisoners ask Williams what had they done and what he wanted with them, but he made no reply. Mr. T. B. Jones deposed that he was going home about a quarter after 12 o'clock he saw Williams the police talking to John Lewis and Thomas Harris on the top of Ship Street; he called Mr. Williams, and called his attention to young man from Carmarthenshire who was continually coming to his rooms and was a complete nuisance, while he was talking to Williams he heard some person call out, saying Harris, are you coming home," or some such words as those he went on towards the top of Castle Street, where there was a great noise Mrs. Jones and William Davies was with him when they were the other side of the Castle bridge, they could hear the police taking some persons to the station; William Davies stayed behind to see what was going on Davies overtook him and Mrs. Jones, and said (describing them) that Williams was taking the two prisoners to the station he (witness) did not see them himself, he only knew that Davies said so. Mr. Games urged upon their worships that his client had only done his duty as a neighbour in endeavouring to get a drunken man home, that there was nothing in the evidence to show that either party was disorderly, and only the one drunk.—Fined 5s. each and costs.

TOWN COUNCIL AND BOARD OF…
TOWN COUNCIL AND BOARD OF HEALTH MEETINGS. The Quarterly Meeting of the Town Council, and the Board of Health Meeting, were held on Thursday last, at the Council Chambers, in the Town Hall, when the following gentlemen were present:—John Davies, Esq., Mayor, Doctor Lucas, John Prothero, Esq., Wm. De Winton, Esq., Messrs. John Morris, George Cansick, John Griffiths, Phillip Bright, and Thomas Trew. S. B. Evans, Esq., town clerk, and Mr. John Kirk, Surveyor. Mr. Griffiths asked the Board if the contract for the constriieiion of the storeage reservoir for Cil- whi e t mill had been entered into. The Town Clerk said that the matter would be arranged on monday evening next. Mr. Prothero informed the Board that the Fi- nance Committe met and examined the bills, and placed a list on the table of those recommended to be paid,—bills for articles for the new waterworks were disallowed, not being certified. Mr. Griffiths moved, and Doctor Lucas seconded that the bills passed by the Finance Committee be p*iid.—Carried. Mr. Morris moved, and Mr. Griffiths seconded, that a water rate of 6d. in the £ be made for the half-year ending 29th September next, which was ag eed to. Mr. Trew moved that the Collector of the rates of the Borough should not be paid a salary as here- tofore, but that he receive a remuneration for the collecting of each rate. Mr Morris said that at a recent discussion it was found that the rate was due immediately it was made. He wished to know what amount of the last water rate had been collected and what amount of the arrears of the district rate had been collected. Mr. Prothero seconded Mr. Trew's proposition, and suggested that the previous rate be examined by the Finance Committee, and that the Collector be paid when his books are passed. The Collector informed the Board that the new mode of rating had thrown great difficulties in get- ting the money, that there was' about X36 arrears of the former rate. Mr. Trew suggested, after a long conversation, that the time for closing the rate made the 29th of September, should be on the first week in April, and the rate made on the 25th of March, should be closed on the first week in October. This was added to the proposition and agreed to. After some conversation respecting altering the days for holding the fairs, Mr. Trew gave notice that he should move a resolution to that effect at the next meeting of the Board. The Mayor informed the Board that he had at- tended the water works Committee, who had con- sidered it essential and necessary that the services of Mr. Doyle should be continued. Mr. Bright said that ought to go before the pub- lic, because his discharge was expected on the 1st of May. The Town Clerk, in reply to Mr. Griffiths, said that Mr, Davies, the contractor, had made a dis- tinct promise to the Committee that they would be furnished with a tender for the construction of the Cilwhibert compensation reservoir, in accordance with plan No. 2, on Monday evening next; he was told that Mr. Davies's tender would be on the same basis as the first tender, but now there was an op- portunity of recession, he could not say what may happen. It was full time something should be done as to constructing this reservoir, upon which sub- ject he was pressing them every meeting. Dr. Lucas said that he did not see why they should bend themselves to Mr. Davies if he did not fulfil his promise of furnishing a tender on Monday next. Some further conversation on this subject took place and the matter dropped. An application from the County authorities was read requesting the Board to arrange with them for repairing the roadways and approaches to the bridges within the Borough, and the Town Clerk was desired to write in the affirmative. but to ascertain what would be the annual outlay. Plans for the construction of two cottages in Lion Yard were inspected, and the meetings were adjourned until the 3rd of June.
