In Vice-Chancellor Stuart's Court, a motion on the part of the Times to restrain the proprietor of the Clerkenwell News from using the words and London Times," as part of the title of his paper, has been withdrawn on defendant's undertaking not to use the sub-title. ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER.-A well-informed correspondent, referring to our recent notice of educational movements in Wales, states that the reverend principal of St. David's College is so far from discouraging the admission of non-theological students, that it was by his special desire that the name of a gentleman, who has lately passed the examination for direct commissions, was placed on the college books. The statement that only one non-theological student has applied for admission to this college is likewise incorrect. The number of such men is indeed small, but is increasing with a growth which, though slow, is not imperceptible. Of the Government grant to which our correspondent alluded, not one penny passes into the pockets of the professors. These corrections are made in justice to gentlemen who are doing their best in a liberal spirit to extend the utility of St. David's ^College.—Daily News,
M-RSCELLANEOUS.
M-RSCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 501 firkins butter, and 8,883 bales bacon, and from foreign ports 22,653 packages butter, and 1,653 bales bacon. In the Irish Butter market the business is extremely limited. For- eign sold well, and for finest Normandy advanced prices obtained. At a further decline of 2s. per cwt. there was a good business in bacon. Best Waterford sold well at 72s., free on board. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—Our market shows very little change since last week, but during the past two or three days a firmer tone has been observable. Imports of new Americans continuing large, and in excess of present requirements, have checked our buyers for the present and caused prices to rule a little easier. Accounts from Bavaria report a steady market at full figures, the stock offering being now so much reduced. Belgian letters show weaker quotations, owing to the disposition lately shown by some large holders to realise. New York advices to the 1st instant report a quiet market, and owing to the fall in sold sales have been pressed here and there. Mid and East Kent £ 7 0 £ 9 15 £ 12 18 Wealds 5 6 616 715 Sussex 5 10- 6 6 7 0 Bavarians 7 0 9 0 11 0 French 4 0 6 8 8 0 Americans. 5 10 6 10 7 0 Yearlings 2 10 8_15 6 0 WORCESTER HOP, SATURDAY.—The new growth is nearly sold out, now that few samples remain on offer. There was scarcely anything doing on Saturday, both merchants and planters being scarce, and only about a dozen pockets crossed the scale. It is generally thought there will be but little doing until the turn of the new year. Prices remain firm. LONDON SEED, MONDAT.-English Cloverseed comes out slowly, and high prices are asked for fine qualities. Good foreign red creeps up in value, and sells well. White seeds are very dear, and scarce. English Trefoil was held at high rates, and foreign qualities.maintain full rates. Canaryseed, whether Eng- lish or foreign, was fully as dear. In Mastardseed there is no quotable variation.. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—4a. this market a fair amount of animation has been noticed. Fine qualities have been in request, at full prices, and for medium and other descriptions there has been a fair sale. CURSENT PRICES OF ENGLISH WOOL. B. d. to 8. d.

The following were the ruling quotations:— Flint Tnflift whUfl M 1AId- ■ ■■ ditto grey, brown, &c., 3d. to 9d.; Persian white, vellow, fawn &c., 7d. to 9d.; Donskoi fleece, 8d. to lOd.; Oporto 'ditto, lid. to 12d.; Peruvian washed, 9,1. to 13d.; River Plate ditto, lOd. tn 321d.; ditto unwashed, 5d. to 74d. j alpaca, 2s. to 2s. 6d.; mohair, 3s. 6d. to 3s. lid. per lb. HALIFAX WOOL AND WORSTED, SATURDAY.—The market • as is usual at the close of the year, is very quiet. As far ns prices go, wool shows no change upon last week. There is a very limit- ed demand for it. The yarn trade continues dull. Theieisno variation in prices, which still rule very ullfavourabv for the producer. Business in pieces is said to thara in the general depression of trade here. LONDON POTATO, MONDAY.—These markets have beem well supplied with Potatoes. The trade has been quiet, at our Quotations.

THE IRON TRADE. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—There was only a moderate attendance in the Exchange to-day, and the proportion of iron- masters was small; the position of the trade has in no respect whatever changed of late the orders coming in are scanty, and as many firms are getting well-nigh worked out, it will very soolt be tested how far buyers will concede the recent advance the probability seems to be that they will wait over this year before they order to any extent. Some transactions in the best makes of pig-iron were reported to-day, at a small advance.

THE CHURCH IN WALES.
THE CHURCH IN WALES. At the present moment, when so much interest is felt in the future of the Episcopal Church in Wales, the follow- ing extract from a sermon by the Rector of Merthyr, will be acceptable to our readers. After pointing out first the real advance which the Church has recently made, and then what he considers several fallacies in judging of her state-such as that the building of churches, or getting large congregations for special occasions, are of themselves signs that the Church has gained a large hold upon the people, the Bafetor goes on to say— TTT1 "Wtbr, then, are the people to be gained? Why, by hrinjrijg up men duly qualified, and properly trained, in the way that has never yet failed to induce them to come to chnrch. For it is a mistake, a vulgar error, to say that the Welsh people are bigoted. There is not a more liberal minded race ot people in religious matters to be found any- where rthan the Welsh. If they can get a man whose ministrations are acceptable to them, they hardly care whether he is a Baptist or a Methodist, a Churchman or an Independent, they will crowd to hear him. This, in itself, is a great point gained. It is an advantage at starting, which is incalculable to those who would win the race. And yet practically the rule is to pay no attention whatever to it. Probably there is not, and there never was, a set of men more lamentably defi- cient, as a body, in the great ordinance of preaching,' as Hooker calls it, than the clergy of the Church of Eng- land. Preaching is not so much thought of, may be, in Eng- land, but in Wales it is everything, and without it there is nothing. What the ancient dramatic cart used to be in Greece, in the time of 1Eschylus, that the pulpit is in Wales. It is what the stage is in France. The Sun- day sermon is the great topic of the week. It is the theme of every two or three gathered together. The coUier at his dinner underground; the miner in the patch; the mariner on the schooner's deck; the fisher- man in the watches of the night; and even the drunk- ard at the bar of the public-house. Welshmen every- where take the sermon for their ordinary talk. Is it not folly, then, of a most suicidal kind, to neglect an art which has obviously, even in a wordlv point of view, say nothing about saving souls, so many advantages to recom- ^"Besides, we mast remember this: there is scarcely one Welshman out of every ten, that has not learnt to ex- press himself, and deliver what he has to say, for five, or ten, or may be twenty minutes, in good grammatical lan- guage. Fancy, then, such a man as this naving to listen Sunday after Sunday to a minister droning and prosing, and blundering over a MS., written in a language which, possibly enough, he has not yet mastered. Hun- dreds of churches in Wales are so served. Is it a wonder, then, if the people turn their backs on them, and never enter them? "This isthe kind of reform that we must haye in Wales. To want it is to be nowhere. You may build a church at evefY corner of every street, of every town, or in every acre of every parish in Wales yet, if you have it not, you will never have the people. _• I be- lieve, firmly believe, that oy a change of policy m Church matters, and by well-directed efforts, having a regard to the prejudices of the Welsh people, it is not yet too late to regain to the Church a very large portion of them. I thank God that we have already, in a very great number of churches, taken one step in the right direction j aiyj foQf is to popularise our services as much as possible, by introducing into them chaunting and singing. With the Welsh this cannot fail to be a wise move, because they are essentially a nation given to melody. The other great step will, I hope, soon follow. Then we have, probably, crowded churches, but not until then, I feel persuaded. Go wherever you will in Wales, wherever there is a good preacher, there you will be sure to find a good congregation. The people are not so prejudiced against the Church as never to enter it, if they ra" only find 'they can make their home' there. And the first tiling they look for is an acceptable man. Nonconformists train their ministers up specially for the work. There is never one allowed to enter it until he is ready to take charge of and rule the first 'call' that is made to him. We reverse the order of things. We make the call I first, and take our chance, whether the man is fit for it or not. Thus it often happens that we saddle a parish with a man for life who is no more fit to fill a church, than a carpenter is to make a pair of shoes. If we can only get enough of Latin and Greek, and a smat- tering of the New Testament in the original, we think then we have everything. We are content with his merely t passing muster,' m the language for which he is specially told off' to teach. Virtually the 24th article is set aide, and instead of getting better, we are everywhere getting worse. The men that are entering the Church now are, in every sense of the word, inferior. I ask any- one, then, is this a pleasing prospect to meet the great crisis that is already upon us? In a few months the fiercest rays of controversy will be darted on the Welsh Church. She will have to sustain a shock, both in Par- liament and out of Parliament, such as has never been made upon her yet. I will not say that that shock will be successful. But I will say this, that if ever there was a time when we ought to set our house in order,' and to prove unto the world that we ought to have ano- ther trial given us-a little more respite-that time has now come."

CATTLE.
CATTLE. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—The show of beef was fair, and the primest sorts made from 6Ad. to 7d. per lb. Dull trade for mutton, for which a little more money was obtained. Pork in slow request, and quite as dear. Veal was scarce, and very dear. THE METROPOLITAN GREAT CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY. Although the past season is generally admitted to have been a very favourable one for stock rearing, we confess that we were somewhat disappointed in the results as shown at to-day's cattle market. Certainly there were some extremely fine animals ex- hibited, but the general quality was scarcely equal to the average of years. This is the more surprising as the funds at the com- mand of graziers must be large; as, notwithstanding the losses entailed by the great drought of 1868, the very favourable character of the past season has again placed grazing farms at a great advantage. While the past season has proved disastrous to wheat farmers, graziers have been greatly benefited by its humid character, and have been enabled to dispense largely with the assistance of artificial feeding stuffs. Up to a very late period the pastures afforded a good bite of grass for the cattle, and this is a consideration of very great importance. Possibly this fact has been presumed upon too much, and the cattle may not have received artificial food in sufficient quantity, towards the close, to bring them rapidly to maturity. There were un- doubtedly some very prime animals exhibited, especially among the cross-breds, but the pwe-breds-which, however, were limited in number-were not generally in good condition. Most breeds were fairly represented, but, as regards numerical strength, the shorthorns and crosses came first. Some of the finest spiaws exhibited were of these classes, and their character spoke volumes of the great advance which has been made not only in breeding but in grazing as a science. The show of Herefords was not extensive, but many of the animals were of great weight, and sold at very full prices. The general character of our mar- kets seems stamped for the future, and a large preponderance of cross-bred animals may, from the large remuneration offering by them, be generally expected. The small number of Devons on sale were of fair character, but scarcely up to previous years, either as to quality or weight. A few North-Devons on the stands, however, compared very favourably with any of that breed that we remember to have seen. Very few pure Welsh animals were on offer, but they were generally in prime con- dition; while the old Sussex breed was scarcely represented. Now that the system of crossing is carried to an extent altogether unanticipated, it is necessary to cry out against the total anni- hilation of those good old breeds which formerly bore a high reputation in the Smithfield market, but which now stand in imminent danger. The great difference between the pure and the cross-breds, as marketable commodities, and the rapidity with which the latter are made ready for market, as compared with the time and expense necessary to bring the former into condition, is the obvious explanation of this state of things, and on this account the danger is more threatening. The Scotch graziers kept up their reputation at this morning's market. Some wonderfully fine animals came to hand, both pure and cross-breds, and the North British graziers must be acknowledged to be a-head of the Southern competitors in this particular department. We do not mean to assert that there were no English fat beasts in the market to compare with the Scotch animals, but we hold that the latter as a class carried off the palm. The Scotch season commenced late this year and the early arrivals were certainly not such as to create any extra- ordinary impressions of future supplies, but the quality of the beasts at this morning's market has quite dissipated these fore- bodings, and there is reason to believe that Scotland will con- tinue to supply us with excellent beef throughout the season. The number of mongrel animals continues to diminish year by year. The "in-and-in" system has proved itself altogether unremunerative, and further attempts in this direction will now in all probability be abandoned. A marked improvement was noticeable in the quality of the foreign animals, those from Tonning being especially good. The French beasts also were of good character, but the general qua- lity of the foreign arrivals was sufficient to prove that continental graziers are still far behind English breeders in their art. From Ireland our receipts were to a fair extent, but there was no feature of importance to notice in regard to the animals themselves. STATS or TEI TBADK. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 7,453 head. The inquiry for beasts was not ani- mated, and the market opened very quietly. Some time must elapse before the animals can be slaughtered for Christmas con- sumption; and, meantime, London butchers will be under a disadvantage as regards keep. The dead meat trade ruled dull; nevertheless, the attendance of butchers became fairly numerous; so, as sales progressed, salesmen showed more firmness, and prices advanced slightly over those current on Monday last. Very choice Scotch and cross-bred beasts realise ill. lOd. per 81b; but we regard this as quite the top figure. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,900 shorthorns, &c.; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge, about 1,900 Scots and crosses; from Scotland, 1,820 excellent animals; from other parts of England, about 1,820 various breeds; and from Ireland, about 900 oxen, cows, Ac. Notwithstanding the increased number on sale, the mutton trade was fairly active, and last week's currencies were well supported, though seldom exceeded. Really prime Southdowns and half-breds changed hands at 5s. 10d. per 81b. Calves sold freely at fully late rates; and pork was steady in pricat
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) The fickle season, of which so mauy make complaints, haff again let go the frost, and brought us into the region of fog and damp. The newly-planted wheat, being mostly small, will pass the change unharmed; and if the south winds blow, we may yet see much seed vegetate before Chrismas. But the buoyancy brought by the frost has gone along with it, and again the flow of foreign imports has carried the market off its legs. Granary room has nowt become a serious difficulty, while it is an absolute necessity, for no speculation or consumptive demand is likely for a time to diminish our stores. Should this strange state of things continue, we may be forced into the use of corruga- ted roofs for craft, to save the arrivals from damage, or wooden sheds in timber-yards. Well may millers hold aloof, in spite of a deficient crop at home. With Such abun- dance at command, and with many vessels yet on the way, the relief can scarcely be so prompt as desired. Nor is wheat the only grain at present in excess, for oats have equally abounded, till rates are below what they have been for years, and omnibus proprietors get their horse- food at about two-thirds the rates they were lately paying. In the meantime, our weekly sales of wheat continue to show a great diminution from the supplies of last year and a time must come for things to find their natural level. The sales of English wheat noted last week were 48,186 qrs. at 44s. 3d., against 60,001 qrs. at 50s. Id. in 1868. The imports into the Kingdom for the week ending 4tk of December were 832,831 cwts. wheat, and 135,264 cwts. flour.
ECCLESIASTICAL PARTIES IN…
ECCLESIASTICAL PARTIES IN ST. ASAPH DIOCESE. The church meeting at the Oswestry Victoria Rooms on Wednesday showed, we are sorry to say, that the proposed organization for the diocese of St. Asaph is not regarded without suspicion in some quarters. Mr LONGUEVILH gave expression to the doubts which prevail as to the ob- ject of the promoters. If that object, he said, was to exalt the priesthood and spread the doctrine of swramen. talism, or, on the other hand, to foster rationalism, he could have nothing to do with the movement. The second idea may be dismissed at once, for Mr LONGCEVILLE can. only have mentioned it for the courteous purpose of avoid* ing the appearance of anything approaching a personal or. partizan spirit. The diocese of St. Asaph, if it is in any ecclesiastical danger at all, most certainly rtins no risk at present of having its 'pulpita filled by COLENSOS and VOYSEYS, or even by Essayists and Reviewers; and what; Mr LONGDKVILLK really meant was, that he required to have some guarantee against what, for want of a better name, we must call extreme high-church tendencies in the present movement. Why those tendencies should be sua* pec ted it is, perhaps, rather hard to discover. The most prominent promoter of "clerical and lay co-operation," Archdeacon WICKHAX, so far from being a high-chorch* man, is pronounced by Mr ORKBBY GoRE to beleng to the opposite section of the Church, although the ven. arch- deacon, we are inclined to think, would object to that classification, as much as Mr How would object to being placed by the hon. member amongst the high. church party. It is certainly, to say the least, a misleading description of the Rector of WHITKNGTON to call him anything but a Churchman, and both he and Archdeacon WICKHAX, we imagine, would repudiate, with a great deal of justice, any narrower name. Mr OKMSBX GoRes mistake was a natural one, but possibly the re- monstrances of the two gentlemen whom he rather unfor- tunately selected as examples will make the hon. member more careful for the future in discharging the very delicate and difficult task of allotting each clergyman to his parti- cular school. The very mistake into which the chairman fell shows how divided the Church is, for it is supposed, very erroneously, now-a-daya, that every clergyman is high-church, low-church, or broad-church; but, on the other hand, the existence of men who really belong to none of these distinctive parties may be regarded as a hopeful sign by those who consider divisions, not as necessary inci- dents of the divergence of opinion, but as lamentable mis- fortunes. Mr LONGUXVILLE, we cannot help thinking, fell into the common error of not only wishing to guard the new movement against extreme high-church tenden- cies, but of forgetting that it must be comprehensive in its character if it is to effect any useful purpose, or even to come into existence. We can hardly wonder at Mr LONGUMLL]eg caution in these days, when doctrines which he and we regard as obscuring the clear light of religion are zealously taught in so many churches, and when, besides all that, men like Mr MACKONOCHIE appear in their own persons to suffer from the spiritually ener- vating influences of the creed and the practices which they uphold. Nothing in recent ecclesiastical history is more calculated to reveal the evils of ritualisnl than Mr MACKONOCHIE'B evasive conduct in the law courts. That he is a good man, according to his lights, nobody but A bigot would deny; but when those lights lead him con- scientiously to resort to what we can hardly call by a better name than religious trickery, the country will scarcely be inclined to considehe spread of ritualism conducive to morality. We cannot wonder, as we have said, that a very keen look-out is kept by many people where ritualism is suspected but Mr LCHSGFJSVILLE, we think, has no ground at all for fearing that the proposed organization will foster doctrines and practices which be- long to another Church rather than the Church of England. Indeed it seems to us that che tendency of the movement is exactly the reverse, bringing, as it does, a considerable lay element into the field, to check the dangerous growth of priestly power. As "Mf Lom«« TILLS was told, the laity are three to one and we cannot think 8& ill of the laymen of St. Asaph diocese as o suppose that one cleric will be more than a match for three of them! The Mayor of OSWESTRY, a decided opponent of anything approaching extreme high- churchism, gave his cordial assent to the movement alk sensibly remarked that the laity had the matter in theiz ownliands. We hope Mr LONGUEVILLE and his friends will remember this, and not act so unwisely as to stand aloof from the proposed diocesan organization, and thus possibly verify their own predictions. Mr ORMSBY GORE'S speech in opening the proceedings helps us to understand what the new association may attempt, and from all that has hitherto been said on the subject, it appears probable that the laity will seek to gain much more power than they at present possess, aod that the power of the clergy may be considerably diminished. Mr ORKSBY GORE even suggests that the laity of the. diocese might have the power of vetoing the appointment of a bishop; and Mr TOWNSHEND MAINWARING has intimated his belief in the desirability of allowing congregations some voice in the choice of a pastor. Into these interesting questions, however, we will not enter here but before we conclude we should like to say that Mr ORMSBT GORE made a good point in advocating Welsh Bishops, and that he sketched out the questions with which the pro- posed association might have to deal without importing into them that party feeling which sometimes so sadly mars the harmony and usefulness of ecclesiastical MEETIN^S^^
