To BtuKv &II diatiwbaucea alike, no II atler to what party they may belong, is 8 mple justice. It is prudent also, as it will nip troubles in the bud. Then, again, it is not a bad sign to remark less disposition to convert Hopublicalism into tho Turk's head. Theelemelicy ill allowing some suspended democratic journals to resume ttieir ordinary coutse of circulation is an earnest of better timee, and the concession to the press in nou.iiifiting a distinguished journalist to assist in tho preparation of the proposed press laws-fllr such are ever oil the Consti- tii tional stocks- is also an excellent measure, because just. Surprise has been ypry gsusrally felt that a financial Jlinisttr of M. Magne's abilities would persiat in hio plan of increasing the indirect taxes to conr tho dalioiencies of the budget—some 40 millions of francs, when this source of taxation is unquestionably on the decline, more or less accelerated by the general stagnation of work. The Budget Committee has all bt unanimously rejected the Ministerial plan, and approved of the sensible proposition to reimburse the Bank of France its loans by animal instalments of 150 instead of 200 millions of feauos, thus leaving fifty to cover tho not dotbit, and to meet some itwms of increased bat necessary expenditure. The yield of the revenue for April and May exhibits a total diminution of thirty-two millions there has boon an in- ercite of eight millions, chietly under the head of tobitco—smokers perhaps smoke more when compelled to remain unemployed —and a few unimportant sundries, thus rJ- vealirg a clear loss of nearly twenty- four lniLions of francs for the two months in cjuesiion. 1 ha falling away by over UJ millions under the heads of stamps and registration fees is thl) conclu- sive illustration of depressed business the diminution on heme ind foreign -8\\gars amounts to six trillions Oil L-eyerages, to 10 millions on tickets for travelling by rail, & cl21 xr, illionii on foreign postage, over half-a million. So much for the ageial cca- diii, n of the country. In a few depart- meLts of the Post-office, notably tb3 trans- mission of iroriey and valuables, there has teen a small in-reaw but the foreign pos- tage is, as it has ever been since tha im- prudent increase of tariffs, a dead loss. The Government only regards the post as a aource of revenue, but not at all cf public conven- ience, and concluded it was so great a neaa3- fity that any rates fixed for letters would be ] aid.

Then Franoo his tad such heavy bills to pay that sha may bo excused for trying all schemes to raise money, as mu, has possible also by mulcting strangers. The liank of France, which meins the inexhaustible riches of tho country, has a plethora of gilc; it would be healthier to see its portfolios swollen with lirst-class 1r"de bills than its cellars full of ingots.

The military review was very creditable, not only in the remarkable precision of tho movement of the troops, but in their lino soldierly bearing and disci- 111111'. The men appear to be quito II ilillVrent 1"lns froui thone that re- presinted the army before the war they ftro snnirt, intelligent, and serious looking. The nation has reason to bo proud at this proof of eucvctsful military reorganisation more, it cannot but be satisfied that the money votod by the Assembly is judiciously applied. Parisians, perhaps like othex citizens, are ever happy at a military review and, as vmiil, tlu-y counted upall a tine day, aud w«xe rewarded. Tho strangers wcro very nuintiaua, especially tile English, win jlliued in the general applause mosVheartily, as tho ti'ocps littilid. Among the infantry, the 1 aim of niarchiril, past the Ill. stail, and the representatives of foreign powers, must be accorded to the pupils of the mili- ary school of St. C3 r-all otlices in embryo tliin these wiry and activo little fellows the Chasseurs, whom I inspect very much, ha\ing seen then so bravely at w Irk dining tho late \v.<u\ Tho cavalry dupliy was very tine the horeos were in excellent c, ndition, and in point of grooming and care would in no respect sutfer in comparison with the Uhlans. The Cuirassiers, who so nobly fought at KeichBholi'en, being pats, ivero warmly wolcomed; and the artillery com- manded applause, as it ever does. There was a severe business air about the whole proceedings worthy of MacMahon, who could well afford to eschew the riivs of an army which is at ached to him by other than ihicial ties, and the respectful salutations of the citizens as he rode past them could not but be pleasing to the loyal old soldier, who is doing his best to keep the peace between all political parties, and can refer disturbers to the liO (MX) soldiers composing the ferco uiicer his hand at Paris. Nearly every foot regiment had its favourite dog, generally a white one, and but two eautinieivs passed in review. These "Daughters of the Regi- ment," picturesque if not serviceable, are to be abolished. The display of vehicles wa3 very remarkable both from an antique M well as from a modern point of view. The small shopkeeper generally prefers the cab drawn by two cobs, packed inside as well ns outside by members of the family; tho servant girl is generally seated beside the driver, and her conversation is said to save. paterfamilias a peurboire, The toilettes sensation were rare. The Comteaso de Paris woie a robe in maroon faille, trimmed with guipure Mmo. MacMahon, a sea greeu silk, with small flounces, and a tunic ia embroi- dered niiialin the tickets to her reserved part of the grand stand were white in gold letters the cards for the diplomatic world were roje-coloured, and thus had nothing compromising those for the municipal body were red, doubtless cut of compliment to their Radical opinions. A great number of pickpockets were arracted, and their cell having become suffocatingly-hot, and death not being the penalty for their crimes, they were penned in the cpen air, and were among the first to applaud the troops. Two female prisoners were plaeed by her male unfortunatea in the best position to view the spectacle, and who raised their hats to the dear creature? when they aeked a question. There is gal- lantry as well as honour among thieves. Among the many strange strikes witnessed of late is that now menaced ty the directors of theatres. Oddly enough, the notorious Felix Pyat predicted in 1848, that if the Assembly withdrew the subvention to the theatres, the managers would close their establishments. The dispute at present is against paying the poor's tax on receipta-an old grievance of 10 per cent. The directors demand that the sum be levied only on net Irolits or better, not levied at aU, particu- larly during the summer season. The plan of making pleasure pay for the support of want is an idea of the First Revolution, and not a very bad one. It is difficult to sym- pathise with managers who conearr. them- selves but very littb with the high prices they inflict on the public. Good news arrives from the anchovy and sardine fisheries the anchovy on the shorei of the Mediterranean, where France has a largo capital and population employed, is what the herring is to Holland, a source of wealth. Amsterdam, according to the pro- verb, is built on herring bones. The con- sumption of anchovies is very general in France, and the sauce is as popular to-day as in the time of the Greeks and Romans, who made a liqueur from it called yarum, which corresponds to the anchovy butter at present employed by cooks to give a relish to their best dishes. It is very raro that a Frenchman shows any unkindness towards his mother, whom many prefer in point of affection to their win-c s, for (ne can be married in Franc3 -and perhaps elsewhere—without love. A brute has been Cl ndemned to hard labour for life for sequestering his mother, aged 70, in a pig- stye, where she could hardly move, and leav- ing her in all the tilth of neglect and insufli- cient food. At St. Danis, a merchant rather well-to-do. not content with the condition of a rich bachelor, poisoned his first, and, later, his seecr d- a popular beauty—wife. He is likely to receive the benefit of the new regu- lation—that of guillotining the condemned in the t)wn where they have been tried, and not near the place where they committed the crime, as at present, In 178!) the average value of an acre of land in France was 200f.; in 1315, 280f.; and in 1874, 8COf. The measures taken by the authorities for moderating the effrontery of th9 dcmi-1I!9rtdc is commencing to tell. Vice is at last being fojeed to retreat behind virtue. Then, greater surveil ance is exorcised in the a cl. mission of unprotected fpnnlea to respectable public places of amusements. Aspasia has never recovered from the fall of the Second Empire. An anecdote is related of the unanimously regretted Jules Janin, who was not a politi- cian. On the announced publication of one of his charming romances, a Senator called on him, and assured him that he would be promoted in the Legion of Honour, did he dedicate the volume to the Prince Imperial. Janin took a pen, and wrote the happiest of dedications to the--Comte de Paris. At Mirabeau's funeral the dust was tor- mentingly plentiful. An orator remarked to the vast crowd, "the dust evon anticipotl your teaTs

A WINDEBER AMON GST T HE GI PS C ES IN TBE RHONDDA VALLEY. A cnrions tale is related in the Rhondua Valley of a poor English boy who was found among the wandering gipsies who have lately entered the valley. It appears that ou Sunday last a young mason, from a village between Gloucester and Cheltenham, was passing a gipsy camp between Porth and Ledarddu Farm, situate at the side of theBrithwennydd mountains, when he suddenly s- w a gipsy lad running after him from the tents, and calling out 41 Charley Charley I" which was the mason's name. He immediately stopped, not a little amazed that the boy should know his name, and he was for a moment inclined to believe that the boy was under the influence of the black art." He, however, did not run away, but went to meet the lad, and asked him, "How do you know me, boy?" The lad, in reply, related a most ex- traoldinalY tale. He said that years before a man decoyed him from his native village to go with him hop picking that the man had left him, and that he did not know how to return home, nor whore his home was, from tho part of tho country in which he had been abandoned. He hid in this condition come across tho gipsies, to whom he related his condition, and who generously took him into their tents and that he had ever Bince led a wandering life with them. He eaid that he had been treatel most kindly by them. The description of the life he had led among the wanderers is something like what Eliza Cook has described the life of the gipsy child to be Ilp with the sun, ha i; roviijz aloiig, Whistling to mimic the bhckbird'a sJng. Ho wes taken care of by the mason, and his parents communicated with.

IIRVPORT. TM WKLETAN ELEMENTAM SCHOOLS, Fn.? GWE".LY.-On Thursday evening the tenth Aunual exposition of the methods of instruction adopted at these schods was given by Mr. Taylor, the muter, .Ed Lis ab,e staff f pupil teachers. Mr Charles Lewis presided, and a very numerous ttends-ce of the fri:3:f :hcdintit{¡ods1r:njar: childien who are being educated, occupied the large room of the schools. The programme of the exposition eompiised the opening exercises, Bible lessens, singing, reading and spelling, animal phy- siology, lessons in geography, marching exercises, ccmmen things, mental mitlimetic, and, in f ,t, the entire curriculum of the school operations. Nothing could be more entertaining to those inter- ested in the progress of education, and nothing could be more satisfactory than the clearness in which scholars of both sexes, and at various ages, answered questions of an intricate and occasionally complex nature. It is not merely the readiness which has at all times characterised the scholars of this institution, but the manifest appreciation of the subject in hand that is so remarkable, and elicited the heartiest applause of tho spe"tatofd. turing the proceedings the secretary of the institu- tion read the following extract from the report of the Government Inspector, Mr. H. Waddington, who, in reference to his acnual visit to the schools in November last, wrote on Mr. Taylor's cfrtificate the following gratifying repnrt: The state of this school in every respect reflects very high credit upon its 1)?in.taking teacher."

The ,Xber of children is increasing, and the amount taken for school fees during the put year considerably greater than the amount received during any year since its establishment. Two new class rooms have been recently erected, at a cost of £ 250, and these tend materially to increase the effi, ciency of the school. During the last year science clssses were established in connection with the school. The results of the examination were highly satisfactory. Similar classes were conducted during the earlier months of the present year in mathe- matics, physical geography, animal physiology and acoustics, light aud heat, The result of the exami- nation in the lapt named snbjecfchas beenforwarded by the committee:-a2 passed out of 36, and of theee 13 obtained Queen's prizes. Of 132 named as successful students, 20 belonged to the day school, being either pnpil-teachers or scholars. Two scholars, each 12 year, of age, were successful in obtaining Queen's prices. Mr, Davies moved, and Mr. Cock seconded, a vote of thanks to the master and pupil-teachers for the treat they had afforded the audience, which was carried by acclamation, ISDKCENI OFFENDERS, —Eliza Brown was charged (before the Mayor, and Messrs.

John Clureh was sent to gaol for 14 days far indocent conduct in Dock- Btreet. EMBEZZLEMENT.— John Woodin, a horse-iteeper in tbe employ of Isaac Swift, cab diivor, was charged with embezzling the sum of £11, the property of bismaeter. The evidence showed that prisoner had been entrusted to take the money to a party at Pontnewydd, it being the balance of an ac- count due for a horse, wiien he took occasion to abscond. He was apprehended at Merthyr, a distance of a3 miles from the place where he ought to have gone, by Inspector Curtis. It was dis- co"er£d that the prisoner had Wd ouia cou,ide.bl. portion f meny? but 27 10.. Sid. was recovered. d thjer b:ej:e,wndc;l guilty. entfnced to six monU s' hard iabour.

She was fined 21s., including coats, or an alternative of 21 days' imprisonment.—James Benson, who gave the name of John Johnson, was charged with eing drunk and inmpable in Dock,stroot, and was cautioned and fined 58.

I PORTSKEWET. THE BlACK nOCK INN.—At the quarter sessions, cn Thursday, the forfeiture of the license of the nbovlHJamed hostelry was the subject of an appeal, which was heard by the chairman, Mr. Kennard, aLd ther magistratcs, The appellant was Mrs. Ann Towl.?. t, and the rempondents were Mr, W, A.

On the above- named day she was summoned for permitting dnmkenncpg on the 18th of that month, and after h(viiig the evidence the magistrates oonvicted Mr. Townscnd, and imposed a fine of 20s? and costs. There had been two previous convictions endorsed on the licence, an d the B.-nah thereupon ordered the forfeiture of the licence, in accordance with the 30th section of the Licensing Act, 1872, which provides that whore two convictions havo been recorded, the licence shall be forfeited, and the holder disqualified for five years from h)lding any licence. Tho grounds of appeal were- not ullty that the conviction an d oraer were bA in rY :nhtthh::afe': h£ no 1í:lO Mr. Smytbics took an objection n to the ordsr being bad in law, and contended that u the 30th was a highly penal section, the ?,?gistrto craH only deal with those offences which the Act abated should be recorded without any dilcletion on the pait of the magistrates. The Bench overruled the objcclion. Mr. Piitchard then proceeded to support the conviction, which was under the 13th section of te Act, relative to permitting dnmken- nus, Two J10licement went to the Blaok loJk Inn on the 18th May to look for somo one. A man named Bridgen was sitting asleep in one of the rooms, aud as he was lying over the tablo with hi3 liccd on liia hands they roused him up. Then it was they called the landlady's attention to the fact that lliulgen was drunk. She was subsequently sum- moned and convicted.

Twenty-one indoor patients have been ad- mitted more than last year, naaking a total of 395. This is accounted fer by the rapidity of the convalescence of the patients, cleanliness, added to good nursing, combined with the great attention of tbe medicalaud surgical staff, materially aiding, under Providence, to their recovery. The outdoor patients, also, show a great increase, the resident medical officer having paid no less than 5,357 visits during theyear. The hospital is entirelyfree from debt. Your oommitteo earnestly ask all the employers of labour in the town and neighbourhood, and others, to contribute towards the erection of the north wing as t time. the resources f the b.spit.1 re ?y??td'?o meet rheur:fsspl th rapidly-increasing town.

HJd. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the statement of accounts now produced be passed, and that the report of the committee be received and adopted, said: From the reports of the committee and medical staff it will be eeen that the Swansea Hospital during the past year (being the fiftyseventh of its most useful career) has been in a more prosperous condi. tion, and has done a greater amount of good .amongst the uuffeiing and afflicted, than in anyother year ,in,e ite?ouBdation in 1817. The number of Ind,o" patienu has bun greater, and the opera- tions have been numerous And important, and .without exception most skilfully performed, twenty-three out of twenty-four of such oases harving left the hospital cured. The finan- oW position -of the inatitntion has also been satisfactory, and has enabled the •committee to keep up and even extend ita Bphere of usefaL But it must ever be borne in mind that the demands on the charity, both from in and outdoor patients, are year by ) 6ar increasing, and hence the necessity for increased support; therefore, the tfforta .hitherto made must be continued without relaxation, if our hospital (certainly 'the noblest institution 1{0 have in Swansea, and the most worthy of support) is to maintain its .present effi- ciency io the midst of this rapidly increasing papu- lation. The committee are very desirous, as soon as funds ean be obtained for that purpose, of erect- ing the north wing ùf the hospital. During the past Far the' resources of the present building have been most severely tested, and on several occasions have proved totally inadequate to meet rcquire- lfcents. It ios, therefore, the earnest wish of the executive that the hospital should be enlarged and completed in accordance with the original design of the architect. But to do this mcney is wanted. When once the building is completed the committee have no douht or fear for its maintenance. There- fore we must hope that those who have it in their power will come forward spontaneously to aid so good a cause, and that all the workmen in the Principality will ad4 their mite. Mr. W, STONE seoooded the motion, whieh was carricd unanimously. Votes of thanks wero given to tho committee of the hospital, the phyeiciana and surgeons, the ministers of religion, the auditors (Mr. George Allen and Mr. G. B, Hayaes), and others who had interested themselves on behalf of the institution. The committee for the ensuing year was appointed, and other formal business having been transacted, votes of thanks were given to the secretary, and also the Mayor for presiding, and the proceedings terminated.

There can ho littlo doubt that tlio English lan- guage is gaining ground rapidly in Wales, aiitl that the English element constitute* the main strength of the Church of lingland in tho Principality. Any l'olicy having a tendency to weaken this element would bo suicidal to the best interests of the C"u"h but the Weba language atillextefi- hively plovalh, and Wehb .?grog.tio.? enUt in great number, and the time ban net yet come when the W.Im element can bo ignored in the ad- miii??str?tion of the Wehh Church without endanger- i.g th.f.ty f the Church t large, .d neglecting b :¡ritVithC: g1rgi Of f;; of Wales. Both elements exist, and the question that DOW arises is their proper adjustment in the administration of the affairs of the Church. Bach basits own plaoo and proper work in the machinery and both a,. to be bro t out ogether in mutual b.?y in a full and ig.r,?u action; if one is alppreamed for the becf-t or rai8edat the ..pe. of the other, the entire machinery will .ulfcr, its of the othewr, ill be ipi,?d, and no ntisfactory re- effic.i?vDy Ifollow. And the problem which now re' suits mains to be solved is tOO policy which, if pursuod, will bring the two elements so often found ia con- 'i't"g antagonism into harmoDiou9 action, a8ign- I19t.d it. pro r k in h a:e;oa the rbtes ::th:P Minister has to solve ia the emeis te find out a man for the See of < t. David's who, with a wise head, an honest heart, and a firm mind, will put his policy into operation. Complaints have been made that the policy hitherto pursued in Wales has favoured tho English at the expense of the Welsh element, and that the result of this rralicy is seen in tho alienation of the great bulk of the Welsh people from the Church of their fptbem. We do not think that these 0001- plaints are made without cause wo do not consider that the Welsh element has occupied the promi- nence or received the attention which its importanoe arising from the exigencies of the country demands. This is seen in the training which candidates for the minibtry in the WeJsh Church receive at St. David's College Lampeter. In the course of ;;ioohh i=ter.led, t::tl c:rc"h h; been prescribed with the approval and under the sanction of the bishops of South Wale., training in Welsh theology is entirely neglected. We are aware that there is a professor of Welsh at the college, tut theology is not his province he teaclns -students to read and to write Welsh, and he proba- ibiy gives lectures on Welsh grammar, but the training of a student for a Welsh parish demands cuore than instruction in the mechanical structure Of the language it is nEC<6.ry that he should be exercised in the theological interpretation of the Welsh Bible and the Welsh Prayer-book. In other morels, the Welsh Bible and the Welsh Prayer- book, no less than the English Bible and the English Peayer book, should be text books in the hands of tbe-theological professor at Lampeter, but suSii a phenomenon has never been seen within tho walls cf theconege, A Welsh Bible or a Welsh Prayer- book in the hands of the professor in the divinity lecture room at Lampeter would be an unusual, and, under existing circumstances, a strange sight, and"at these are the very first books which a Welfili student, when he goes out into tho world and aouBiicnces hi. ministry, has to baudlo. He has to expound and to explain them in his private visitations and in his public ministry, and he has to do this ofton as regards the Welsh Bible in the pre- sence of persons well versed in its contents and at home in its jphraseologies. Thus in the discharge of his se«red and responsible duties he is oalled upon to CJpound and to explain books which were not broughteven under his notice in the theological lectures which he received in the course ot his training at a college professedly.Welsh. The theo- logical terminologies of both, but more especially of tho Welsh Prayer 1>ook, are confessedly hard to be understood; and it is not to be expected that the great! bulk of the Weish clergy should so com, pletely master themas to be able, in the exercise of Cheir ministry, to .give them a popular onlTcney among the people, unlaw they receive tinngt eL- college career a course of inatrnction in their fores 4meaning. Eut no students have ever yet received this course of instruction at St. David's College as part of their preparatory training for the exercise of their ministry ia Welsh parishes. This is the.stllte of things that has prevailed in the col- lege from its commencement, and iu our opinion it is a state of things which betrays thorough neglect of the Welsh element, the want of adequate provi- sion for the training of studeats for the Welsh Church. And it is a state of things for which the Bishop of fit. David's is chiefly responsible, and to find a remedy for which will be one of the first and most urgent duties of the new liahop and wo quote it in illustration of the rotiark we have made, that the Welsh element has not received that attention in the ministration of the Welsh Church which the exigencies of tho coantry de Eland. '"Iel,h preen I. another cise in point. The The Welsh preea is another else in point. Tile vess, that mighty engine in moving men, L?,, dno pi ttie or nothing for the Welsh Ohuroh; it works vigorously, and has produoed signal effects among the diHerentsections of Welsh Dissent, bat within. the pale of the Church it is weak and languid; in high quarters it lies idle, like a useless and a rusty lumber; it is not handled or touched by episcopal hends, and it receives no impuls. from 9t David's College. If it had received the attention of the bishops and had taken root at St, David's Ccllege as a plant in a nursery, a different result might now have been seen. It is not too much to expect that if it had received proper culture at the college during tho forty or the fifty yews it has been in existence, the Church in Wales would now have been in possession of a Welsh press at fall work and in vigorous action among the people, aud that Ismpeter would have been the seat and centro of it. operations. But no effort, its far as we are aware, has ever been made to establish either a Welsh magazine or a Welsh newspaper in oonnao tion with the college, and tho cause which may b3 aligned for the absence of sneh an effort is found nait i?ew,?7at, (?n the part of the authorities f the college, of perception into the pêealiar want. of the Welsh Church and of sympathy with the Welsh people; and it can well be quoted as another illustration of our remark that the Wchhelement dees not occupy in the machinery of the Church in Wales the prominence which its importance naturally assigns to it, And we have quoted both instances in connection with St. David's College, for we consider that the future caieer of the college in to the Welsh element will be cloEcly identified with the preeent appointment. If an Englishman or an An- glican Welshman is appointed to the seo, the col- leye will continue to neglect Welsh theology and the Welsh Press, but if a genuine Welshman, alive to the interest of the Welsh Church and competent to meet the emergency, is selected f)r the post, a new era may bo created in the history of the col- lege, and it may become the nursery of a race rf students as fi ::d te ,f:rYasof; Éi theology, and as able to handle the pen of a ready writer for the benefit of Welsh as in the service of E, '3i?h EIWifdrbIl.SY to quote other instances to fchow that the Welsh oJement has not it. full pl??, but is restrained and suppressed in th? ad- ¡¿¡inrfthët: il,í:ed Inetr'' tion tours through Welsh districts tho native larguoge is not then JlnJHlIed with tho foreo and I)GVir of which it I. capable for the benefit of the Church and on public occasions, such as the open- ing of a now 'Lurch and the reopening of an oM church, golden opportunities are b«t through the ."Di of familiar knowledge of the language of tho people on the part of tho bi.b.p,.
