Perks, Esq., occupied the chair. The proceedings were opened with the audience siiiiriog the beautiful hymn, "He leads me on," after which the chairman delivered a brief address He remarked that ho was very much gratiSed to be pIP-cnt for several reasons. Tno race that he was asked to occupy the chair a second time, was to him a source of gratification, for it proved that his services had not been altogether a failure on the first occasion. But, very few sublunary pleasures were unalloyed and when he discovered from the programme that he was expected to say something he felt that it must be so on the present oce.isi-.Ki. However, be would abide strictly by the words of the programme—" brief address." He c I gratulated the promoters of the entenain- m'lit. and especially the Rev. D. Burford Hooko, upon their success The town were vory ifreatlv iu-Iebtcd to Mf Burford Hooke, who had started tiiem. They had no doubt done a deal of good, ad acted as a deterrent to many people from nequenting places which did them more harm than good applause.)—The programme was then pro- ceeded with as followsGlee, "God bless the Prince of Wales," Choir; song, "Jack's Yarn," Mr G. S. Hazelhurst song, "Where are the merry party," Mr Peter Williams and party recitation, The Farmer's Blunder," Mr John Evans; song. Miss AshbV; pianoforte trio, the Misses Isabella Williams, S. G.

Roberts, seconded by Mr D. Trehearn, a hearty vote of thanks was pa — d to the chairman and the performers. Th J following is an outline of the Rev. D. Burioru Hooke s capital address on Sugar-coated l'i L-" -In commencing he humourusly referred to IKS dislike from the beginning for those instru- ment.-o," torture—pills; told how he had tried to ucoiu. it by adopting "sugar-coated" ones. fade .1 in the attempt.

Phillip Luntley, a soda-water manufacturer, is in custody, at Scarborough, on a charge of stealing goods valued at between E200 and z2300. The will of Mr. William Charles Jones, merchant, of Manchester and Warrington, has been proved, amounting to more than t,1;75,000. A number of convicts have been removed frorn Mountjoy Prison for conveyance to England. Their destination is believed to be Dartmoor. The Mudir of Sharkieh has succeeded in capturing a band of brigands who have for a long time past been a scourge to the villages in his district. John Cran, one of the chief clerks in the Aberdeen Post Office, has been committed for trial on n charge of stealing money in transit through the Post Oiiicc. A petition to the Home Government, praying for Mr. Mackenzie's restoration, has obtained the signa- tures of 200 Stellaland people and O of Dutch ex- traction. A serious land subsidence has taken place in Etherley-lane, Bishop Auckland. For a distance of nearly 30 yards the centre of the road dropped to a great depth. According to the North German GatrUc, the Public Prosecutor in England has been charged with iln in- quiry into the act of piracy committed by some Eng- lish fishermen last autumn against the Bremen cutters Diedrich and Anna. The horse of a shopkeeper named Horgn.n, living at Carker, a village between Killarney Itn; King Wil- liamstown, has had one of its ears cut otf. Horpan was suspected of having supplied goods to boycotted persons in the locality. For perjury committed in swearing in a police-court that a publican named Murphy had served him and two policemen with beer after hours, Patrick Walsh, a labourer,has been sentenced at the Liverpool assizes to five years' penal servitude.

A fine brass lectern has been presented by the officers and men of the Tourmaline, late senior ship at Madagascar, to the Dockyard Chapel at Sheerness, in memory of the members of the crew who have died during her commission. An old man named Geeves lately sentenced to 10 calendar months' hard labour for assaulting two little girls at Hereford, has been released by order of the Home Secretary n the ground that the verdict found by the jury was against the weight of evidence. Mr. Cubitt has given notice that, on the Supple- mentary Estimates, he intends to call attention to the high price (viz., £ 87,000) agreed to be paid by the trustees of the National Gallery, with the sanction of her Majesty's Government, for two pictures for the national collection.

The poor girl, being unable to rise, was so badly burned that she shortly afterwards died. In a letter to the Tower Hamlets Radical Club Ir. Chamberlain ridicules the suggestion that the Go- vernment has surrendered on the Redistribution question. Such an idea, he says, exists only in the imagination of Tories and a few rather impracticable politicians, always in a hurry to find Government in the wrong. The appeals of the London and North-Wostern Railway against the assessment of their property in the Nantwich Union, including the great locomo- tive works at Crewe, have just been finally disposed of, the parties agreeing that in all the parishes where there had been appeals the rate should be quashed, with costs.

Speaking at the annual dinner of the Gillingham Agricultural Society, Lord H.Thynne,M.P.,remarked that iie had not the slightest hesitation in saying .hat when lr. Chamberlain read the affidavits relating to the Aston riots he knew that every one of them was false. This statement he repeated and said that any gentleman might tell Mr. Chamberlain. Owing to the decision of the promoters of the woman's suffrage movement to exclude married women from their advocacy, Mr. Ja<-ob Bright has withdrawn his name from Mr. WoodelTs Bili. The proviso to the bill, however, excluding married women from the operation of tho Act, has led to ihe measure receiving increased support from both sides of the House. In a letter to the Manchester Chamber of Com- merce the General Post Office state that the depart- ment has no intention of proposing at the approaching International Telegraph Conference at St. p, terstmrg, any restrictions in regard to the regulations applicable t- and code messages, and that no reduction in tho number of letters allowed as the length of a code word is in contemplation indeed, the depait- ment will oppose any such alteration if proposed.

A WORTHLESS HUSBAXD. The wife of John Gerald, painter, of St. Asaph, applied for relief for herself and children, her husband having deserted her. The parties had lived at St Helens, and it was there;the wife was deserted. Her husband had deserted her before, and had been imprisoned for that offence, and also for a theft committed in Rhyl.—The Guardians were satisfied that the applicant had a settlement in this Union, and 3s., weekly outrelief was granted on the motion of Mr Joseph Lloyd seconded by Mr David Edwards.—The husband to be looked for and proceedings taken against him. THE MIDGELEY CASK. A letter was read from the Leed's Uniou, saying the Guardians of that place were willing to entertain the application of the St. Asaph Guard- ians to take over A. E Midgeley without an order, if the Guardians of this Union would accept a case of four children alleged to belong to this Union. They maintained that that case belonged to St. Asaph as clearly as the Midgeley case belonged to Leeds.—The Clerk said he could not advise the Guardians to accept the Leeds case. It was a most unsatisfactory one. He was not all satisfied that the ease belonged to St. Asaph, and by what he had been told the children's settlement was in Leeds. Their father was in America, and the mother lived with another man in Manchester.—It was resolved to apply for a magisterial order to remove Anne Midgeley to Leeds. THE ESTATE OF MRS SAMPSON JONES. A letter was r°ad from Mr J. Parry Jone, Denbigh, respecting the claim sent in for the main tenanceof Mrs Jones at this house,and stating that the claim was in excess of what the board could legally claim. Mr Parry Jones offered JE30 in full settlement of the claim, the original being £ 49 6d. -On the motion of Mr Bell seconded by Mr Sisson it was decided to accept JE30, the seconder of the resolution explaining that solicitors acting for trustees could not pay more than they were legally compelled to. All the effects would be handed over to the trustees, including the Family Bible eo much spoken of in the meetings of the guardians. THE FFOBDDLAS CASE. I Mr Jones, son of Mrs Jones, late of Fforddlas, Abergele, now residing at Manchester, wrote stat- ing emphatically that he would not contribute to- wards the support of his mother while she had money of her owr,After a lot of discussion it was decided to reduce the old woman's relief to 4s. weekly, and to compel the two sons to refund the money. THE COAL CONTRACT. A letter was read from Mr S. Powell declining to accept the contract to supply coal, as he bad no claim on the colliery for a supply of coal at the price mentioned in September.—Messrs Harrison of Rhyl, offered to supply Bettisfield and other coal at lis. Sd. per ton.—Messrs Wynne and Jones, and Messrs Jones and Son wrote stating they were open to contract for the supply of coal at the prices submitted in September. Mr John Roberts gave the benefit of his experi- ence and the cost price of coal. Mr Joseph Lloyd proposed that forms be sent out for a fresh contract. On the motion of Mr Sisson. the question was referred back to the com- mittee. THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF THE LLANFAIR DISTRICT. A letter was read from Dr. Roberts, whose term of office has now expired, stating that he would offer himself for re-appointment. Mr Clarke said Dr. Roberts had a fully qualified assistant, and Dr. Davies said he would givo any assistance necessary. —Mr Fugh Parry proposed that Mr Robert3 be re-appointed seconded by Mr Winston and car- ried unanimously. ME ROBERTS (GEIXAS) s> AT IT AGAIN I A SCENE." As the reporters were preparing to leave the board room- Mr John Roberts, Geinas, said Now, Mr Chair- man, before the reporters leave the room- The Chairman The general business is not over yet Mr Roberts. A woman wants to appear before the Board. Mr Roberts This day fortnight (cries of "order" and "sit down"). Mr Roberts resumed his seat till the business before the board had been concluded. Then he sprang to his feet and advanced to the table Are you ready, Mr Chairman (laughter). This day fort night it was passed at the board that these reporters, half of whom are blackguards (Order, Oh oh and uproar, during which all the Guardians stood up). The Chairman If you please Mr Eoberts (gesticulating) I move to the chair. Sit down, sir. I have moved to you, and all you have got to do, gentlemen, is to sit down and take your seats quietly. I shall propose TheChairman; Allow me if you please. This board is composed of gentlemen (hear, hear), and as long a I am in the chair I will maintain order (applause).

Mr Roberts Withdraw Not L The Chairman Then I leave the chair. Mr Roberts Do so. (Cries of Order.") I beg to move to the chair (again bowing in the direction of the chair). Mr Dixon As one of the oldest.

Correspondence. Whilst, freely giving expression to the opinions of our cor respondents on all subjects of public interest, we wish dis- tinctly to state that we do not necessarily endorse any of them and are therefore in no way responsible for any statement malle.

SIGMA'S COMPLAINT. To the Editor of lk RHYL ADVERTISER. Siiz,-Allow me to endorse the letter signed by "Sigma" in last week's Advertiser. The evil he complains of is assuming a more offensive form as the winter nights get longer. The houses in some parts of the town are a nuisance to the neighbour- hood, and I am surprised that any respectable house or property owner allowing their property to be tenanted by such disreputable individuals. The police have the power to stop the nuisance, and I hope they will vigorously use their power.—lours truly, QUEEN STREET.

♦ To the Editor of the RHYL ADVERTISER: SIE,—In reading the remarks of Mr Burford Hooke on what I may perhaps term "Muscular Christianity," and which remarks appeared in your issue of the 22nd, I thought that they had a ten- dency to question the correctness of the view taken on the subject of Football by two prominent minis- ters of the town as expressed at the services held on Thanksgiving day. I believe that Mr Hooke has not a friendly feeling towards the Welsh—at least he has not a high estimate of them, and I am told that this is the reason he is now trying to civilize and christianize the "Welsh heathen." To this work of cilvilisation he has added that of instructor of Modern and Muscular Christianity" to Welsh Ministers. I think ministers of the Gospel should find something better to do than play or advocate the playing of football.-I am, yours respect- fully, A WELSH NON-CON.

■■ ■■ ♦ THE STATE OF THE STREETS. To the Editor of the RHYL ADVERTISER. Siiz,-Permit me as a visitor to your town to call attention to the state of the streets. I am sure no one will grumble to see the streets thoroughly re- paired but I must confess that a little considera- tion ought to be given to the pedestrians by making the new surface as easy as possible for one to walk on. I would suggest to your authorities the advis- iability of adopting some better method. In other towns they generally close a street for repairs, lay the broken stone on, and then put a layer of small gravel and employ the use of a heavy roller imme- diately and work away until the surface is brought almost equal to an old worn surface. Whereas here the majority of the main thoroughfares are] covered with broken stones and then left in an unfinished state for weeks. May be you have no roller here. Is it not possible for your authorities to hire a steam roller for a time when they have as at pre- sent a lot of streets to re-metal ? I am glad to see the building trade so flourishing here, and so many chapels and churches being built and contemplated. The Chapel in Wellington road seems very substan- tial, built of good material. I am sorry you are obliged to build a new gaol in a town like this where you have so many chapels and churches. If I see my little epistle having any effect as to the state of the streets I shall trouble you again shortly on another subject.— Yours, &c., REX. [The building referred to as gaol" by our cones- pondent is only a police station; and "Rex' -will admit that such institutions are necessary evils," in the best regulated communities. -ED.3

♦ THE FOOTBALL MANIA. To the Editor of the RTIYI, ADVERTISER. SIR,—The correspondence on this matter has a greater tendency to contaminate than to improve. I have resolved not to write any more on the sub- ject. Be it thoroughly understood that I have not condemned football so far as it is kept from coming into collision with religious institutions, as was the case when the match was played on last Thanks- giving day. I challenge W. H. Roberts to call a public meeting at the Town hall or any building in town to discuss the question. I am perfectly agree- able to stand or fall by the decision of the meeting on the act of fixing the football contest on the day appointed by the committee to be a day of thanks- giving for the bountiful harvest which we have this year received from the merciful hand of the Great Giver of all things. And also the act of printing the words Thanksgiving Day" on the posters. If W H. Roberts will accept this challenge, I will bear half the expense; cr if W. II. Roberts wishes to charge a trifle for admittance the proceeds can be shared equally between any two charitable institutions in the town—W. II. Roberts to name one and I will name the other. He can also have his choice as to whether he or I—or both— should address the meeting in English or Welsh for a given time, or leave the addressing entirely to sym- pathisers.—I am. sir, yours truly, 28, Morfa Bach, JOHN JONES.

THE RIVEtt DEE-ITS CONSERVANCY AND NAVIGATIO, When certain public works are contemplat- ed it is i.ecessary first of all to have parlia- mentary powers. The firs?*; sfcen after the private bill is formulated, is the publication of s. no ice that such powers are Bought, in a newspaper circulated in the district proposed to bo affected. Such then are the notices which have been entrusted to us for public- ation, and which appear in our issue for to- day, as they did in the two previous editi ons of the illajJ Advertiser. Ono of the schemes is one to complete a system of railway that will be the means of bringing Flintshire into a closer connection with Birkenhead and Liver. pool. Extensive powers bavo been already granted to the Wirral Railway Uompany, and it was only the other day the Premier cut the first sod of one of its branches. It is this same company that seeks further powers, And a perusal of the notice in another column will give the reader an insight into the proposed scheme. Another of the notices has reference to the sale &c, of Crown Lands. One of its clauses refers to certain glebe land in Rhyl, and is couched in the following terms :—" To alter and amend the conditions of a certain grant of Crown land dated the 21,)tb December, 1836, and made under the powers of the Act of the tenth year of the reign of His Majesty King George IV, cap. 50, for the purpose of erecting a church and dwelling-house for the officiating clergyman at Rhyl, in the county of Flint, and to vest a portion of such lands in the persons in whom the Rhyl National School is vested, for school purposes, and to declare that certain lands shall be glebe, sub- ject to the law relating to glebes." Among the notices, however, are two which in our opinion are of more importance than the others. Thoy contain provisions for the sol- ving of a difficult problem and one that has for years attracted considerable attention in the city of Chester, and this portion of Flint- shire. We allude to tho improvement, find indeed we may say the preservation, of the navigation of the River Dco. The bill pro- moted by the River Deo Company seeks ex- tensive powers for recovering and preserving the navigation of the Dee. These powers are to be vested in a Conservancy Board, wb "h shall have the complete control of the River from a point about -0 yards above Dec Eridgo Causeway,Chester, down to Point of Ay re and Heibre Point, take over all existing liabilities in respect to the navigation and levy tolls on vessels using the river- Referring to this bill a Chester Contemporary observes:—"Ther is certainly a business-like ring about the scheme, and its progress will doubtless excite a considerable degree of public interest. It is proposed to improve the navigation by building a training wall from the north- westerly end of tho existing training wall to a point nearly opposite the extremity of the spoil bank of Messrs Muspratt's Chemical Works at Flint. Parliament will likewise be asked to give the new Conservancy Board fud power to deol with all lands vested or to bo vested in them to impose on tho owners and occupiers of all lands already re- claimed, or shall hereafter bo reclaimed from the river Dee, an. annual acreage or other rate; to repeal, alter, modify, or transfer to the Board all tolls, rates, town, quay, coal, and ballast, or other rates and dues levied 0" authorised to be levied upon or in respect of ships, vessels, or other craft, on goods, wares, merchandise, ballast, and other commodities laden or unladen, entering into or using the said navigation within tho limits aforesaid. Another noteworthy point in the scheme is that the Bill will seek to provide for the for- mation of the intended works into one or more separate undertakings of the Conservancy Board which may be under separate manage- ment, the Corpoiations of Chester, rliub, and and other local authorities concerned having power to enter into contracts and agreements with the Conservancy Boa.din respect to con- struction and maintenance of the intended works and other matters. It is further pro- posed to authorise the Conservancy Hoard to acquire by purchase, agreement, or otherwise tha reclaimed lands, and any other property, rights, or priviliges of the Dee Company, ani also the rights, powers and privileges of the company as to future reclamation, and in casp of a purchase of all the company's properties rights, and powers, to provide for the winding- up and dissolution of the Company. The Bill will also provide for the abolition of all tolls and customs in the nature of anchorage dues leviable by the Chester Corporation within the Port of Chester, by virtue of any charter or other authority, upon all ships and vessels re- sorting to the port, and repeal the provisions as to the depth to be maintained in the navig- able channel of the river. Application will also be made at the next sessions for an Act to amend the provisions of the River Dee Acts, and to :require the River Dee Company to restore and maintain the statutablo depth of water in the Dee, to con- fer further powers on the River Dee Commis- ioners with respect to the navigation and the levying of tolls, rates, and duties thereon. Provision will also be made in the Bill for the transfer to the Commissioners, or to a Conservancy Board or Committee, of the whole or any of the powers now vested in the said company under the recited Acts upon such terini and conditions as may be agreed on, or as may be provided by the intended Act, or as may be settled by arbitration in a manner to be provided by the intended Act, and for freeing and discharging the property and estate liable thereto, or such part there- of as may be agreed upon, or as may be defined by the intended Act, of all liabilities in regard to the maintenance and improve- ment of the said navigation, or of all or some of the other burdens imposed upon jthem by tho recited Acts or any of them." The navigation of the Dee has been in a neglected state for some considerable time, but the River Dee Company appear in bus- iness form, and mean to go thoroughly into the question of a remedy. And certainly it looks as if a brighter day is dawning. Im- proved navigation on the Dee would mean better access to the Flintshire Ports as well as to the port of Chester, and should shipping revive in this once famous waterway then the trade coal and iron districts of Flintshire would be in fair way to revivo also. Fresh impetus would be given to trade, and any increase that may take place in the surround- j ing country cannot but be beneficial to our town of Rbyl.lt may be said that we are some what removed from the centre of the coal and' iron industries, but nevertheless prosperity in trade in uny part of the country will agitato and cause its circles to become wider and wider. We trust the above schemes will receive the careful interest of all those concerned, and that one of them at least will pass through parliament.

FOOTBALL NOTES. CUP TIE—LLANDUDNO V. RHYL, This tie in the first round for the Northern Welsh Cup was played at Rhyl last Saturday, in the prese ce of a goodly number of spectators. The Rhyl team were short of T. Yanghan, W. Roberts, J. Lowe, W. H. Thompson, H. E. Stanley, and R. C. Thompson. Through the train being late the Llandudno team did not arrive in time to make a punctual start, as advertised, and the consequence was that darkness set in before the game was con eluded, under cover of which Llandudno managed once to elude the trusty custodian having charge of the Rhyl goal. Rhyl having won the toss Llandudno kicked off, but Rhyl immediately assumed the offensive, and attacked their opponent's goal, but kicked behind. Soon after they secured a corner kick which was very well placed by Whitley, but the attack was too wild, and resulted in the ball being kicked over the bar. Llandudno secured the sphere from the goal kick, and threatened the home goal, but mud- dled their chance by kicking behind. Rhyl now attacked very determinedly, and appeared very likely to carry the enemy's fortress but the! visitors' goalkeeper saved in fine style—Rhyl again attacked and the result of nice passing all round was a goal from a sharp shot from Hughes, ten minutes from the start, Rhyl continued to press their oppoLents so closely that two of the half back, —Morgan and Vaughan-had shots at goal, but unsuccessfully. Piercy had now a turn and by a splendid shot overhead was within an ace of scor- ing, but the visitors' custodian was sharply on the alert, and managed to.,ave, the attack ending by the ball going behind. Rhyl, although continually attacking, were for some time unable to score, the visitors defending well, but a shot in to Iferseo's hands gave T. Jonos a chance, which he was quick enough to make use of, aDd he rushed Horsoe through before the hitler had time to get lid of the ball. Llandudno by some very good passing by the right-wing, and dodgy play by Goodwin, re- moved the play to tho Rhyl quarters, and succeed- ed in obtaining a corner, which was capitally placed in front of the home goal, but the backs succeeded with case in getting it away, Cripps kicking finely. Lewis, who had been playing very well all through, now ran the ball up, and centred well, but a sharp attack only resulted in a corner, which was badly kicked by Whitley, as was another soon after by Morgan, the two, by sailing too near the wind" missing their tack" and kicking behind. Half-time arrived with the score at two to nil in favour of Rhyl The second half-time was not so much in favour of the home team, as they played very loosely, without any attempt at combination, and the half- backs showing too great a liking for dribbling in- stead of well-judged kicking. The visitors played better together and at times showed some pretty passing. Goodwin was also very active on their left, and giving Brown a deal of trouble. Lewis and Husdies WOrA eonsnienous for the Rh d forwards I and made several capital runs, the former centreing well several times, but each time W. H. Roberts was surrounded by the visitors, and given very few chances of showing off his skill at goal kicking. After 1.5 minutes' play Hughes scored a third goal for Rhyl by a low sharp shot, from a pass by Lewis, and soon after W. H. Roberts, by a. splendid shot added a fourth goal. Llandudno now played very well together, and attacked the homo goal warmly, and Wright had to use his hands several times with his usual success, but about five minutes before time was called, when it had become too dark to sec the ball at any distance, the visitors managed to elude Wright (whom they dec'ared to be much too cocky") and scored their only goal (kicked by Hassall.) Rhyl pressed hard and tried their best to add to their score, but time was called before this could be effected, leaving Rhyl victorious by four goals to one. Lewis, Morgan, Cripps, and Hughes were the mo-d conspicuous for Rhyl—Cripps pliying splendidly throughout. TTcrsee (goal), W. Jones, half-back, and the right-wing and Goodwin on the left played well for Llandudno. Tcuvts —Llandudno Goal, Hersee; backs, T. B. Jones and W. Jones half-backs, H. Lewin, A. Hughes, and T. E. Owen; right wing, TTerpeo (cvptaiu) and J. Owen left-wing, S. Rces and Goodwin -cn'-e, Fassall. Rhyl: Goal, C.Wright; backs, Brown and Cripps; half-backs, Twiston Morgan (captain), J. Vaughan, and J. D. Whitley; left-wing, R. Hughes and T. Jones right-wing, J. Piorcy and Lc-wis centre, W. H. Roberts. Ro- feree, Mr Farriiigtcn. My notes last week, with reference to W. H. Roberts and Stanley should have read that the Zr!¿t, and not the former kicked over the bar when a rare chance of scoring was offered that W. H. Roberts liot off better in the centre than on the wing; and that Stanley was better on the wing than in the centre. The Rhyl Gardens Club were again successful in their match last Saturday—this time beating St. Asaph on thci*. own ground, by 5 to 2. Bangui met with a severe reverse in their tic for the Northern Welsh Cup at Carnarvon last Satur- day, tho Carnarvon Colts boating them to the tunc of nine goals to one. Bangor evidently wa:? not represented by its best team. Danger Athletic and the Carnarvon Heroes playccl a drawn game in the same round. Rhyl are to play a friendly match with Bangor here to-day, and the second elevens of both clubs arc to meet at Bangor. IN TOUCH.

R HY I. Y.M.C.A. DEBATING SOCIETY.—THE FIRST DIVISION.—The second meeting of this society was held on Thursday evening, when there was n very full honse, both of members and strangers. Evidently the party whips had done their utmost to bring" hon. members together, in view of tho anticipated division. Promptly at 8 15 the speaker took the chiir, and after the usual pi-elirninary business, Mr J. D. Ainsworth rose to resume the debate on the amendment which had been proposed to the address from the throne. Ee spoke against the amendment. A lively debate then followed, in which several hon. members took part. For the amendment— Messrs A. Sandoe, Hughes (36, High-street) I J. D. Williams, H. Mudd, Alfred Jones, C. W. Bell. Against the amendment-Messrs Wright (Epworth College), Edwards (N. & P. Bank), Fred. Ainsworth, D. Trehearn, R. Jones, and W. C. Jones. On the whole the debate was well conducted, a little too discur- sive perhaps, the result being that the speaker was often appealed to on a point of order. When the speaker put the question, whether the amendment should stand part of the address, and the "Ayes" and the "Noes" having replied, he declared that the Noes were in a majority. The leader of the Opposition then claimed a division. Tellers for both parties were appointed, and the house divided. Mr F. Ainsworth, on the Liberal side, raised a technical objection to the right of several who had gone into the lobby with the Opposition to vote, inasmuch as they had not been qualified as members of the Society. The Speaker over-ruled the objection, maintaining that the objection should have been raised before the division was taken. Another dispute arose as to the exact number of votes on each side, and the tellers adjourned to the ante-room to settle the point. On their return they handed the numbers to the speaker, who read as follows:—For the amendment, 39; against, 39. The Speaker declined to give his casting vote. Under the circumstances the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr Kent) in the absence of the Leader of the Liberal Party (Mr Clews) stated that the Government had decided to refuse the amendment, and that, if the Opposition pressed it, the Government would feel it their duty to resign, and ask the Opposition to take the responsibility of office. The Leader of the Opposition realizing his position, offered to withdraw the amend- ment conditionally namely, that the Govern- ment should introduce the Redistribution Bill forthwith. After some discussion, the difficulty of the position was overcome, by the Opposition withdrawing the amendment unconditionally, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer giving notice of the Redistribution Bill fur next Thursday.—Mr W. C. Jones obtained leave to bring in a bill for legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister.—The Speaker then left the chair, and the house rose. THE REV. H. STOWELL BROWN, of Liverpool, will deliver his lecture on Dangerous Classes" in the English Baptist Chapel on Monday evening next. We would direct special attention to this announcement, inas- much as the date was altered from Wed- nesday last. It would be a pity any mis- understanding on that account should cause anyone to lose so rare a treat. Mr S. Perks is expected to preside on the occasion. "NOTABLE CHARACTERS."—A lecture on the above subject was delivered on Tuesday evening, in the Clwyd Street Chapel, by the Rev. Robert Jones, Gellifor. Dr Thomas, Brighton Road, presided. The audience was not very large, owing partly to another lecture being delivered in the town the same evening. The lecture was one of a most interesting character. PREACHING MEETING.—The Water Street Welsh Baptists held their annual preaching meeting on Sunday and Monday last. Sermons were preached to large congregations by the Rev A. J. Parry, Carnarvon W. Edwards, Cefn Mawr; and D. Williams Llangollen. We regret to state that Mr A. J. Parry received a telegram on Sunday morning to call him home, as his wife had been taken ill. The Rev. gentleman retnrned homo that evening, and Mrs Parry seemed to 'improve slightly, but yesterday (Friday), about noon, a telegram announcing her death, was received by the Rev. J. J. Williams, of this town. The deceased was greatly respected by a large circle of friends, and^her sudden removal is deeply lamented. II -;D A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED.—A correspondent, and for the matter of that there is no reason why his name should not be made public.—Mr Edward Williams, of Vaugban Street, Rhyl, writes expressing bis admiration of the conduct of a. certain reverend gentleman, holding important posi- tion in this town, in assisting a heayy laden fellow-creature through a rocky road." On Monday a person named McManus employed by Mr Abel Jones, builder, was conveying some timber from Mr Jones'yard to a building on the West Parade. His route being along Princes Street, across Wellington Road and through Vaughan and 4bbey Streets. In Wellington Road McManus and his hand- cart caaae to a standstill in the heavy metalling recently laid. The reverend gentle. man coming up and seeing the plight the man was in, said a few words to him, and without more ado, put his umbrella under his arm, applied his herculean strength to the handcart and assisted McManus through the stones in Yaughan Street and left him on the hard road in Abbey Street.—On his return he shewed evident signs of being "puffed," and to push a handcart over such stones as those laid in Vaughan Street is certainly no joke. "TIlE SEASOY" is the title of a very superior monthly illustrated magazine for ladies. It was first established in 1867, under the title of La Saison," and it com- mands a high reputation for the profusion and originality of its fashion plates. The press of England, Ireland, Scotland and the United States unite in their praise of it. As a magazine for the household "The Season j is eminently suitable. The price is only Is.j and those who secure this work will find that they have good value for their outlay. y OFTG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.— We are highly pleased to understand that an institution bearing the above title has been established in this town. The need of sroh an institution has long been felt in c^.r town, and we feel perfectly sure that great benefit will be derived from it. That the institution will be appreciated by the yottng ladios of the town is proved by the fact already as many as 30 young ladies havo signed their names as members. The Associa- tion Rooms are at Nol'I, Water street, and the institution will be under tho management of Miss Crawford. A supply cf newspapers, I-ri Ind othe" litera u-9 will be pro. vided; and in every possible way the room will be made as comfortable as poscv Ie. and will be open from 7;(\ p.m. to ).30 p.m. We wiphtlao institution great success. The promoters are deserving of every support, and we hope that those who have it in their power to help the institution in any way, will u not be backward in doing so. RE1.. E. TJLOYD JONES.—It will be seen from our advertising columns that tho services to-morrow in the Town Hall-morning and evening—are to be conducted by the Rev. E. Lloyd Jones. PiiiLosonn AND PRACTICAL LIFE" was the subject of a masterly loctura delivered by Professor Ilenry Jones, M.A., of the Univer- sity College oi North Vvales, at the Young Men's Christian Association Room, on Friday evening last. Dr Raby, principal of Epworth College, presided. The lecture was listened to with rapt attention by tho large audience present. At tho close, the Rev. T. Prichard proposed, and the Rev. E. Lloyd Jones seconded, a voto of thanks to the learned lecturer, and it was carried with great heartiness. A similar compliment was paid to the chairman. This was the first of a series of lectures arranged for in connection with the Association, for the present winter season. A. MISCELLANEOUS ENTERTAINMENT consist". of songs, reading's, recitations, dialogues, will be given at Morley Roa.d Schoolroom on Thursday evening next.

SCARBOROUGH ELECTION. The polling on Wednesday for the seat for Sea borough vacated by Mr. Caine'a appointment to tl Admiralty resulted as followa:— Mr. Caine (L) 1,832 Sir George Sitwell (C). 1,639 Majority -193 The numbers at the last election were-Colon( Steble (L), 1,895; Sir George Sitwell (C), 1,60f After the numbers were announced Mr. Caine briefly thanked the voters for having supported him. Hri j said he had obtained a diminished majority, but the? knew how votes had been lost to them. At the Con- servative Club Sir George Sitwell said that they had obtained a moral victory and had considerably reduced the majority—they had gained 200 on the register-and at the next election he felt sure he should be returned, for he meant to stand again.

GREENOCK ELECTION. The contest for the vacant seat for Greenock, caused by the resignation of Mr. J. Stewart, resulted o, Wednesday, as follows:— Mr. J. Sutherland (L) 3,548 Mr. J. Scott (C) 2,417 Majority -1,131 Mr. Thomas Sutherland, of Cromwell-road South Kensington, who thus succeeds to the seat held since 1878 by Mr. James Stewart, is a gentleman well known in the commercial world, and the chair- mnn of th- board of directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He is the ono hundred and twentieth new member returned to the House of Commons since the General Election o April, 1880; but his return on the present occasior r makes no difference in the balance of political parties..

SCARCITY OF FOOD AT KHARTOUM. The correspondent of the Daily News at Dongola. says he has heard from native traders that General Gordon, being greatly straightened and in want of food, in compliance with the request of the old men and women who preferred taking thei chance among the kindred tribes in the villages to the certainty of starving in Khartoum, allowed them to leave the town. A similar rumour reached the correspondent from another source some days ago but then it was couched in terms which made it seem that he sent these people out against their will. The correspondent has also heard that the Mahdi's followers menace all the caravan routes that debouche on the river near Debbeh, so that neither camels nor cattle can be brought through for the English. The Mahdi is said to be now at Marguiat, near the direct Ambukol and Khar- toum route holding the narrow passes strongly. Strenuous efforts have been made by the Mahdi's men to capture the Omdermann earthworks, but after suffering heavy losses they have been repeat- edly repulsed by Geneial Gordon. Lord Wolseley inspected the mounted infantry at Dongola on Tuesday, previous to their de- parture for Handonk, and expressed much satis* faction at their appearance. The sight (a cor- respondent of the Standard says) was singular and striking. Three hundred and ninety-four riflemen, mounted on camels under perfect control, and moving in excellent order, filed past Lord Wolseley, the men with their rifles at the carry, while the band played The Camels are Coming"; the old Campbell march having been adopted as most suitable to the new corps. The population were quite excited: and the boys, ever on the look out for backsheesh, considered that so good an opportunity should not be allowed to pass, and their shrill cries for backsheesh somewhat marred the solemnity of the occasion. For in spite of the laughing crowd, and the strange and uncouth animals ridden by the troops, there was yet some- thing solemn about the procession as it moved away in regular order into the desert and disappeared in clouds of dust, rolling up dun and gloomy in the light of the setting sun, the advanced guard of the British army on an expedition whichwill assuredly be arduous and exhausting, and which may be perilous in the extreme.

MB, CHAMBERLAIN ON THE SIRCTA 'TOS, Mr. Chamberlain, in answering a letter from the Rev. J. Vyrnwy Morgan, a Nonconformist blister of Llanwddyn, Montgomeryshire, who wivte to express his appreciation of the noble way in iihich you successfully met the unscrupulous attacks of Lord Randolph Churchill and the Tories in general," says I thank you much for your kind letter, and assure you I highly appreciate the kind- ness which you and so many others have shewn me under present circumstances. I look back with pleasure to my visit to Wales, where I was deeply gratified by the warmth and cordiality of my recep- tion. As regards the present situation, I think it has been somewhat misapprehended in the country. Be- lieve me, there will be no surrender and no compro- mise of principle. The probabilities are that a settle- ment will be arrived at, but, if go, it will involve the immediate passing of the Franchise Bill and the passing next session of the Redistribution Bill, which will be more Radical and complete than any which seemed possible five months ago. The Heats will not, however, be prodrced in the Licuse of Commons until full assurances have been received that the Franchise Bill is 3pfe,"

CURIOUS REVENGE ON A NEIGHBOUR A case which a geed deal of amuBcmonii was cn Tuesday brought before the Exeter magis- trates. The defendant was 1\1r. Henry Clark, the inaneger of the Brutton estate, aud the compla' Mr. Browne, a diaper. The parties reside ii joining houses, and some time since Mr. C. ii who docs not usually return from his club unliV late, complained of tho noise which Mr. Browne created in going downstairs at what he termed the uii eartl, ly Leur" of half-past 7 o'c'cck in tho morn- ing—this noiso reaching the bodrcorn cf the defendant, in the next house. W ords passed between the parti??, iind Clark said if Browne awoke him in tho morning he would kick up a row at night. Accordingly, tappings at the windows and rappings at the doors of Mr. Browne's house at 1, 2, and 3 o'clock in the morn- ing were indulged in. A watch was sot, and it waR discovered that Mr. Clark was the one who amused himself in this way, a lath 4ft. Gin. in length being used in the tapping. The Bench bound defendant over to keep the peacc for six months.
