THE PROGRESS OF THE AUTUMN SESSION. PARLIAMENT has now been in Session since Tharsday, the 23rd, and what has it done ? It was talked,and so has many assemblage of old women, but it has done very little else It has convened for a special purpose, and it met with a definite object in view. But! instead of devoting itself to the effecting of that purpose and to the attaining of that object, its time has been frittered away by I frivolous questions, and by angry recrimin- ations. The address to the CROWN was moved on the day of the opening of Parlia. ment, and the debate upon it, if it is worthy of being called a debate, has occupied the attention of the House and consumed its time up till now. lvhat might have been well and completely done in two sittings has taken seven. In addition to the obstruct. ion caused by the Tories, there has been that of the Irish party. There has been vulgar abuse from the one, and an insult to the majesty of justice from the other. Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL has used the vilest of language, and given utterance to the most unscrupulous expressions with regard to the PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, He has offered himself as a candidate at the next general election for Birmingham, which is now represented by three Liberal members, and with the view of furthering his candi- dature and of advancing his interests in a, political point of view, he paid a visit to Birmingham a little more than a fortnight ago, when the riot took place at Aston, which has now become historic. To the noble lord the very mention of that intent- ional insult is grevious, and its remembrance is intolerable. He has abandoned Wood- stock, which he now represents, and has attempted to woo the great Midland capital, and it may be that the House of Commons will be eased of his presence, and with him, of that vulgar abuse and that manifestation of coarse impudence which have characterized his entire parliamentary career. The mem- ber for Portsmouth, his satellite, and one of the three who think and act with him, has lent him very valuable assistance in the attacks which have been made. That was to be expected, but it was hardly to be expected that a respectable Tory like Mr CHAPLIN would have joined the reckless crew. Yet he did so, and even seemed to revel in his degrading employment. Not only have the riots at Aston furnished material for Tory spite to vent itself upon, but even some of the! events which transpired during Mr GLAD- STO;" S journey to Midlothian have been called into requisition. On Monday evening Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL asked the President of the Board of Trade if his de- partment had taken any action to prevent the public frum bc-in,, inconvenienced by, political demonstrations at Hail way Stations, The answer to this question was that the Board of Trade had no authority or eoiitiol over the arrangements which way be made for preserving order in railway stations, and! that the railway companies were thernselves capable of protecting the public If Lordj RANDOLPH CHURCHILL had cared even one' iota about the convenience of the public at 1 railway stations the matter would have been very different, but his real object was to annoy the Liberal leaders and to parade himself. To effect either of these objects he will not even shrink from inconveniencing himself. But the end of Aston riots has not yet been reached, they have afforded a new opportunity for Tory obstruction and have been seized upon by Lord HANDOLKI for another display in the House Jommons. He has aetua elevated than into a subject which is deemed worthy of forming a matter for an amendment to the address. On Thursday Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL moved the following amendment:—"Arm we humbly assure your Majesty that we regret to find in recent speeches and the action of one of your Majesty's Ministers, holding the high office of President of the Board of Trade, an incitement to an inter- ference with the freedom of political dis- cussion and a justification of riot and dis- disorder." In support of the amendment the noble lord referred to certain passages in three of Mr. CHAMBERLAIN'S latest speeches—one he delivered in Birmingham on the 4th of Au- gust, the second at Ilanley, and the third at Newtown. Upon these he founded his general indictment. His particular accusation was that Mr. CHAMBERLAIN1 wa; responsible for the Birmingham riots. Mr CHAMHER- LAIN'S reply was a crushing one. After an ex- citing debate, the amendment was negatived by 214 votes against 17b—a majority of ;36 over the combined Tory and Parnellite forces. Toryism may profess as much as it likes that it is in favour of the Franchise Bill and the extension of the Franchise to the country labourers, but no one can give credence to the profession. The very fact of the moving of such an amendment to the address is a clear proof of the non-existence of iny desire to see the consummation of that whch is the real object of the Autumn Session. The transcendent ability of the PniMF. MimaTER and the unfaltering loyalty of his followers constitute the only antidote to those baneful and weary outpourings of the vials of Tory wrath which seem to form the stock-in-trade of a majority of those members who sit upon the Opposition benches. It is to be hoped that the House of Commons will now settle down to its realiwork and that in the early part of the week after next the Franchise Bill will make its second adveut into the House of Lords, into that painted hall where pageantry is enshrined and where stupidity oiten slumbers. By the side of the Franchise Bill Nemesis will stalk in secret, in silence, and there will she calmly watch its fate, waiting to punish, ready to strike and eager to let loose the dogs of war. The nations will be on the alert, and many an anxious thought will be turned to the painted chamber, and its fossilized members, when the crisis is being neared. What will the Lords do ? is a question which is asked more than a million times every day. That question will increase in importance and it will grow to a magnitude which will transcend all other considerations. The passing of the Bill by the Lords will give them a new lease of political life and they will be fools if they are unable to realize their position and grasp at the conditions for continued existence. On the other hand if they reject it, then a storm of righteous indignation will be aroused against them which will grow in intensity and increase in might until like an angry soa it shall sweep their house away so that its name shall never again find a place in the anr als of the nation.

IloÜs anh Smwim'n — Chester and North Wales Assizes were opened at Chester, on Saturday, before Mr Justicc CAVK. There were 27 prisoners for trial, but there was no case of local interest.

The depression in trade continues in our town, and it is to be feared that many fami- lies are, or very soon will be, in want of the necessaries of life. We feel sure that the many well-to-do and charitably-disposed in- habitants of Rhyl will not allow the present state of affairs to continue much longer with- out demising some effectual means of relief. 4

The opening meeting of the present year's autumnal session in connection with the St. Asaph Debating Society was held on Wed- nesday week, under very promising circum- stances. Elsewhere we publish the Inaugural Address delivered by the Rev. W. GLAN- HRWD THOMAS, Vicar of St. Asaph. We commend it to the careful and thoughtful study of the young men of Rhyl. And as a result of its perusal, we anticipate that a large number of them will heartily co-operate in the movement to establish a similar society in their midst. ♦

The magisterial sitting on Monday last was rather long one, though the cases heard were not numerous, neither were they of an extraordinary character. The Humane Society lately established in Rhyl has already resulted in one young man being convicted for cruelly beating a donkey. Much of the time of the court was taken up with a caEle, very simple in itself, but in connection with which a very extraordinary defence was set np, If the custom spoken of were to be- come a general one throughout the town, a very disastrous state of things would soon prevail. It is to be hoped that the very proper conviction made in the case referred to will have the effect of for ever stamping out such a communistic practice. +

The recent gale, though very destructive in some parts of the country, did no further harm in Rhyl than causing a large quantity of sand to accumulate on the parades. During the winter months the cieariug away of sard-drifts costs tho ratepayers almost as much as the repairs of the roads, but we think that the expenses of carting sand might be curtailed very considerably, if there were more openings in the parade wall to allow carts to pass through. +

A very discreditable scene took place at the last meeting of the St. Asaph Board of Guardians. Mr. JosrpH LLOYD asked per- mission to cull attention to the effect Mrs. LODGE'S letter to the Local Government Board, anent the Board's refusal to grant superannuation to her husband, and some re marks thereon published in the Rhyl Jour- nal," bad in influencm^ intending subscribers to the proposed testimonial to Ur. LODGE to withhold their subscriptions until tho matter was finally settled. Had the question dropped with Mr. GRTMSLEV'S reply (which satis tied I Mr. LLOYD), all would have been well; but wo arc sorry to think that Mr. ROBERTS I Oeinns) thought it necessary to caiechise the reporter of tile" Rhyl Journal," and in the heat of the moment alluded, as it was understood, to the representatives of the press generally, as "hungry hounds." The knights of the stylo and pencil at once rose to their feet to protest, but Mr. ROBERTS quickly explained that his application had only an individual significance, and tho re porters, excepting the one referred to, rosumd their seats. We are very pleased to accept L-. JROBEUTS'S assurance that he did not mean to describe all the reporters as hungry hounds," and hope that its singular applica- tion was only an equivalent to Mr. CHAMBER- LA T N S "jackal." In whatsoever application Mr. ROBERTS'S remarks were made, the pro- ceedings altogether were most irregular, and the CHAIRMAN certainly was at fault in not reminding Mr. ROBERTS that he was out of order. A word in time from the chair would have been sullicient, for Mr. ROBERTS is a gentleman who pays every deference to the CHAIRMAN'S ruling. In this case,however, he was (though at the outset he might have been calmed), carried beyond the bounds of dis- cretion by the recollection of an insult pre- viously directed against him by our contem- porary. No one knows better than the gentleman himself that it is entirely out of order to question a reporter on the accuracy of his report, and far more so to catechise a representative of the press on the opinions G his editor. If a public speaker is incorrect f reported, he has the privilege of explaining through the columns of tho newspaper that misn ported him, and a guardian would cer- tainly be in order, if he contented himself by putting himself right with his brother guar- dians by a personal explanation in the board- room and if the paper charged with misre- porting or otherwise offending a certain individual was properly conducted, it would at once set the matter right before the public. A reporter attends meetings of this kind on sufferance, and though he may be attacked, and the accuracy of his reports challenged, he has no right to say a word in self-defence but through the columns of his paper; and when th'ngs go as far as they did on Thurs- day, the protection of the chair shoald be extended to The chiel amang you taking notes."

THE WATER SUPPLY. The situation has now become very grave; an intermittant supply of water, the quantity of which is not at all up to the mark, is the only source that keeps us from an actual water famine. Now is the time for taking up the question whether the Improvement Commissioners should take any steps to guard against a similar emergency recurring. No doubt the Water Company have done their hest to economise the water at their imme- diate command, but the question arises should they not endeavour to do something to sup plement the scanty supply in the reservoir. It is true that the old works near Epworrh College have been called into service again but the waLcris sadly deficient in quality and quantity. But a company who have undertaken to supply such an extensive dis- trict—far too extensive in the opinion of many for their present resources,should exert themselves in some way or other to obtain temporary means of supplying Rhyl, the most populous part of the district, with a good supply of wholesome water. It is not for us to suggest the ways and means, but a scheme could be adopted to bring a constant supply of water to the town at a very small outlay. Who is to do this, the town authori- ties for themselves or the Water Company ?

LLANASA. TEMPERANCE ME ETING.—On Thursday evening- last a popular entertainment in connection with the t hurrh of England temperance society, was held at he National Schools, when a varied and instructive programme WiS gone through by gentlemen and lady friends of the cause, the ch-dr ujr.n the occa- sion being occupied by the Yi" tr.

The progress that has been made both by the adult and juvenile members of the class under the able tuition of Mr D. J. Davies, of Rhyl, is sur- prising-, and the way they took up their parts in some Welsh airs, published by the solfa college, most commendable. It is intended to make a selection of the best readers, and those having the best voices, to form a small choir to perform at a concert to be given at Christmastide in aid of the funds.

ST. ASAPH. CONCEET.—On Monday evening last a concert was given at the National Schools (kindly lent for the occasion), in aid of the Independent Chapel restora- tion fund. The artistes wore Miss Minnie Jones, Miss Pughe Jones, Mr T. Bartley, Mr M. R. Par- ting-ton, Mr J, LI. YS illiams, and a small glee party, under the leadership of Mr F. C. \Vatkins. Mr Watkins also acted as conductor and accompanist of the concert. Pianoforte solos, etc., were splendidly rendered by Miss Easterby and Miss Gertrude Ed- wards. Although the night was most boisterous and wet, the room was tilled in every corner, and a most enjoyable evening was spent.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND4PILLS.—During every break of wintry weather exertions should be made by the afflicted to recover health before unremitting cold and trying' storms sei lU. Throat ailments, coughs, wheezings, asthmatical aftections, snortness of breath, morning nausea, and accumulations of phlegm, can readily be removed by rubbing this fine derivative Ointment twice a day upon the chest and neck. Hoiioway's treatment is strongly rei-oiu- J mended with the view of giving immediate ease, preventing prospective danger, and affording per- manent relief. These all-important ends his Oint- ment and Pills can accomplish, and will surely prevent insidious diseases from fastening on the constitution to sdisplay themselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for.

RHYL PETTY SESSIONS. Moxn.vV —Before T. G. Dix-.n, Esq. (in the chair), i;,v. G. W. L'ryeo Je.ru- .V'.TK' i T> AS3.VI7I.T O AX tHD WOMAN*. ITJfm j. Strawberry Gardens, John Williams, Vale Torrace, und John Dartt", Vale Road, were charged with assaulting Ann Roberts, Penycefndy. —Mr William Davies appeared for the prosecutrix, and Mr Ahm Lloyd had been retained for tll defendants, but telegraphed to say that he was unable to attend, aud asking that the case might be adjourned till the next court.—Mr Davies had no objection to the adjournmo:. r_. but he would ask for his costs for the day in the event of an adjournment taking place.-All the defendant* were willing to adopt this course, but when the defendant Jones understood that the advocate and the prosecutrix were to be paid for their attendance,he demurre 1.— A p er some conversation b tween the clerk (Ir George) and the defendants, Mr Davies said he was wishful for an adjournment, inasmuch that he preferred to have a lawyer o:i the other side, for "he intended asking their worships to C01111..1t defendants for trial.—It was here intimated that the charge was one of common assault only. Mr Davies went on to say that if the evidence bore out his instructions it would turn out that this was not a common assault, and he would ask for the committal of the defendants. It was a very serious matter, and sinee there was another lawyer engaged on the other side, he would prefer him to be present. Therefore if the justices made an order that the three cases should stand adjourned on tho defendants paying 12s (id costs each, he would take his own coarse for the recovery of the costs. IHrimately the cases were ordered to stand over till the next couit. A NEGLIGENT BAESIAID. Mrs M. J. Roe hack was charged by Superinten- dent Hughes with using two short measures.—Mr Davies appeared for the defendant, and said that the measures were used in a luncheon bar, which was left almost entirely under the charge of a barmaid. The measures were properly stamped, but being subjected to some rather rough usage thev were dented, and the barmaid neglected telling Mrs Roebuck cf their condition.—Mr Hughes said that the measures produced were short—the half pint was one ounce short or one in ten the other GO minims, or one in twelve.—The Chairman said that the magistrates did not think the measures had intentionally been infuse, but the barmaid had neglected her duty, and Mrs Roebuck was responsible for her actions.—A fine of il, with Ills costs was imposed. LICENSE FOR THE STOKAGE OF EXPLOSIVES. The license of Mr Hughes, ironmonger, High Street, was renewed. CRUELLY BEATING AN ASS.

He afterwards got off the animal's back, and beat it again, hitting it on a very tender part, above the hoch on the hind leg. He was beating the animal very cruelly, and there was no necessity for it.— Defendant pleaded guilty, but said he wanted to go in a hurry to meet a customer.—The Inspector said the animal was not saddled.—Asa warning to defendant and others the bench in. iiicted a fine of 4s., with 7s, (id. costs, Dr Butterton remarking he was very sorry to see defendant there. ALLEGED LAECENY.—A PECULIAB "CUSTOM," CARRIED TOO FAB. William Davi s, Vale road, was charged by Mr George Siddons, with stealing two red cabbages from his garden, in the neighbourhood of Ffynon- groew roall. Mr Wm. Davies (Messrs Davies and Roberts) who appeared for defendant, said that the com- plainant, with the consent of their worships, wished to withdraw the charge. The facis of the case "ere these Defendant held a plot of land near to that of the complainant, and it was custom- ary among the neighbours, who held these plots, to i :,¡ ;,ClJlC little things that they had not got in ;h Ir own gardens from those of their neighbours. Complainant, who was a new tenant knew nothing of this custom, and when he found that the vegeta- bu-s had gone took proceedings at once. He went to defendant and he admitted taking the cabbages and complainant when be was told of the custom, expressed a wish to withdraw from the p-osecutum, he Chairman after consultation with his brother mauisirates and the clerk, said he thought the case must be gone into. Mr Davies said he could call witnesses to pTOve the custom." Mr George in reply to a remark by Mr Davies said the charge was not one of "feloniously taking and carrying away," but of unlawfully taking If it conld be proved that defendant had nut. unlawfully taken the cabbages then ho was not guilty. Mr. Davies submitted that under the circum- stances defendant had not acted unlawfully. Mr Siddons was then sworn. He said that on going along- his garden he found that two red cab- bages had" been recently cut, and on examining the stalks found that one of them had been cevcrc with fresh soil. He saw fresh footmarks about th place. The defendant held a plot near to his, and on that day defendant v.as digging potatoes. He went up to him and on looking under some potatoe tops on Davies's plot, found the two cabbages lately cut. The defendant denied all know- ledge of them, but in about an hour and a half afterwards went to complainant and admitted having taken them, but said it was a custom for neighbours to take such things from one another. He further said that he had been given to under- stand by others that such was the custom, and he wished to withdraw the charge. The Chairman It is very kind on your part, but when a man takes a thing like that and finds it ne- cessary to hide it, he cannot be very honestly dis- posed. In reply to Mr Dixon complainant said that it was true he had lost other things from his garden. Mr Davies: But you do not attribute those to the defendant. Complainant No. Mr Dixon Oh no. It is only the custom you speak of (laughter). Complainant (to Mr Davies) said that he had been given by others than defendant that such t custom existed among the tenants of these plots. P.C. Taafe proved that the. cabbages produeed corresponded with the stalks. Complainant had been complaining to the police for the last two years that his ga: den was robbed. Mr Davies did not deny that the cabbages had been taken, but under what circumstances ? Mr George: You cannot plead that custom Mr Davies. Mr Davies I do not put it as the^custom, of the country, but the custom does exist among these neighbours. Mr George Do you think it creditable to the town that such a custom should exist ? Mr Davies said he knew that respectable persons occupied lhose plots, and took things one from an- other, but they did not look upon it as an unlawful act. He thought it very harsh that thia defendant should be convicted when complainant wished to withdraw the charge. William Davies, grocer, Wellington Road, who rents a plot near those of the parties in this case, proved that it was customary among the neighbours to take some of each others' produce. He had taken things himself, hut in reply to the Chairman he said he would not take vegetables from his neighbour's garden to sell; he would only take some for his own use. The Chairman Would you take a lot of peas ? Witness: No, sir, not a lot. The Chairman Would you take six ? Witness: Yes, sir. The Chairman Well, a man who would steal six pence, would steal six pounds. Mr. Davies: But they do not look at it in that light, your worship. Mr. George (to witness) Did you take any cabbages yourself. 3Ir. William Davies objected, It was a most improper question. Asking the man to criminate himself. Mr. George But you say it is no crime. Mr. Davies But you advise the magistrates that it is. Mr. George Not if you can prove it is not. Mr. Edward Jones, "Record" office, also sam that he owned a plot of land in the neighbourhood referred to, and that it was customary for neigh- bours to take a few plants. The Chairman What do you mean by a few plants r Witness: A few seed plants, or something like that. The Chairman Ah, yes, that is a very different thing. But would you take some of the crops ? would YOil take a cabbage ? Witness: Yes one, if I wanted one, and had no+ got it. The Chairman But would j un hide it r Witness: No. sir. The Chairman Would you tell your neighbour that you had taken it when you next saw him ? Witness Yes, sir, if he asked me. Mr. Davies again submitted tint the defendant had no intention of stealing. Mr. Siddons, recalled, said he had lost several things from the garden. He valued the cabbages at 6d.
