NEWS OF THE WEEK.
NEWS OF THE WEEK. The extraordinarily heavy rains of the past week have occasioned almost unprecedented floods throughout the country, The rivers in North Wales have become very swollen, but we have not been able to hear that any damage has been occa- sioned. At Sheffield, on Monday, five men were drowned. Mr Samuel Morley, M.P., has withdrawn from the Executive Committee of the Liberation So- ciety, on the ground that that society proposes the disestablishment of the Church of England and the secularisation of its property. He is anxious to work with all "truly devout" men for the securing of freedom in the future as to reli- gion, but he cannot agree to any secularisa- tion of the Church in England. The Secretary of the society denies that it has any such plan in contemplation as that stated by Mr Morley. Mr Moncrieff has been returned for the Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities the total nnmber of votes polled being Moncreiff (L), 2,067 Gordon (C), 2,020. For Orkney and Shetland Mr Dun- das (L), has been returned in opposition to Mr Riddell (C). The New York Herald says that the convention agreed upon by Mr Reverdy Johnson and Lord Stanley, relative to the settlement of the Alabama claims, is in the hinds of the President. It pro- vides for the appointment ol two commissioners by England and America, who will sit at Wash- ington, the decision of all claims to be rendered within twelve months after assembling, from which there can be no appeal. The plan is regard. ed favourably by the Americans. Mr George Peabody has further enhanced his claims to the admiration of everybody, and to the special gratitude of the London poor, by his en- largement of his princely gift of zC250,000 to pro- vide suitable dwellings for them to the sum of £ 350,000. Mr Peabody announces this resolu- tion in a letter addressed to Lord Stanley and the other trustees of the Peabody fund. In the an- nouncement to the trustees of this increased dona- tion, Mr Peabody says I trust you will see manifested in this further donation an expression of my entire satisfaction with the manner in which you have conducted the affairs of the trusts. It is stated that the total number of Noncon- formists elected in the present Parliament is 84, and they are thus classified :—Independents, 12; Baptists, 5 Society of Friends, 5 Wesleyans, 2 Calvinistic Methodist, 1 Unitarians, 17 Presbyterians, 10 Jews, 6 and Roman Catho- lics, 26. Mr Davies, the member for the county of Anglesey, is the sole representative of the Cal- vinistic Methodist sect. The substance of President Johnson's message to the new Congress has been communicated by Atlantic cable. He seems to have entered at some length into a history of the Alabama claims, and spoke in a hopeful tone of the negotiations. The resignation of the Conservative Government he regarded as only a temporary hindrance. The House of Representatives, however, takes another view of the matter. The message charges exten- sive frauds on the Inland Revenue Department, expresses fears of a coming Indian war, but fa- vours reduction in the army by the withdrawal of troops from the South. A motion has been intro- duced there demanding the recall of Mr Reverdy Johnson (because, it is presumed, of the friendly spirit he has shown towards England), and it has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The news from the East is not of a very assur- ing character, if indeed it does not present an alarming complexion. The Turkish Government accuses Greece of assisting the Cretan insurrec- tion (and there certainly seems good ground for the accusation) and has consequently sent an ulti- matum to that Power, and come to a decision to suspend all diplomatic intercourse with Greece, and issued orders to sink all vessels carrying vo- lunteers to Crete. The English, French, and Prussian Ministers, have, however, attempted to mediate between the Powers, and the Porte has agreed to suspend the threatened ruptiue till the 12th inst. Meanwhile, it is stated that all mea- sures have been taken to be prepared for the even- tuality of war, and Hobart Pasha has left to take the command of the fleet in the Archipelago. The total number of lives lost by the recent Wigan colliery accident is sixty-two. The inquest upon the bodies has not yet been concluded. Affairs in Spain present a very ugly appear- ance. The tranquillity that was so striking a fea- ture of the insurrection has been upset, and it is doubtful whether the great question to be decided —Monarchy or a Republic, will be determined without bloodshed. The Republicans certainly seem to be anxious to force matters to such an issue, and on Saturday made an armed demonstra- tion at Cadiz. One account says that the insur- gents were dispersed by the forces of the Provi- sional Government, but this is denied, the fact being, it is said, that the former have only sent in a flag of truce. At Tarragona, on Sunday, a nio- narchial demonstration was disturbed by the Re- publicans, who destroyed the monarchial banner Order was only restored by the cavalry being called out to disperse the rioters. A decree has been published, signed by all the members of the Provisional Government, ordering the general elections to be held on the 15th of January and the following day, and the Constituent Cortes to meet on the 11th of February next. In a pream- ble the Government acknowledge the sense of honour and the good feeling which animate the whole Spanish people, with the exception of an insignificant minority in some localities. The Government promise to observe the strictest neu- trality and to cause their agents to do the same. The members of the Government repeat that their opinion is in favour of a monarchy elected, not by universal suffrage, but to be chosen by those whom the people may send as their representatives to the Constituent Cortes. Since the above was written further information has reached this country, shewing that the insurrection at Cadiz is much more serious than the Spanish authorities would lead us to believe. The insurgents in soliciting an armistice were not exactly in a des. perate condition, and now that their terms have been rejected they are resolved to defend their position. They have sought to add to their strength by throwing open the convict prison, and distributing arms to the liberated prisoners. On the other hand, the Government is determined to crush the revolt by energetic measures. Vessels of war have been placed, in position to bombard the town. .The insurgent forces are said to num. ber 3,000 men. ? To those who think that improper influence or intimidation is not possible where the ballot is in operation, the IPall 31all Gazette commends the following Lstory from an American paper-An ironmaster in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was in the habit of driving his men in a waggon to the polls on election days. He did not trouble them to get out of the waggon, but took their bal- lots and handed them in, saying, This is Peter Hummel's vote this is Jacob Miller's vote this is Casper]; Weber's vote," and so on. Then the waggon was;sent off for a fresh load, Mr C. wait- ing until it arrived, and handing the ballots in himself, so as to be sure they were on the right side. Suppose the advocates of the ballot sys- tem explain how this could have been prevented ? A shocking calamity has occurred off the Irish coast. The HiberDia steamer left New York for Glasgow on the 13th.of last month. When about 730 miles from the Irish coast, on Wednesday, the 25th ult., the machinery broke down, and the ship became unmanageable and sinking. She was abandoned, the crew and passengers taking to the steamer's boats, five in number. The boat containing the captain, and another boat with fifty-one persons in all, continued together, and were eventually picked up by the Star of Hope, bound to Aberdeen. This vessel put the captain ashore at John o'Groat's Island, and he proceeded overland to Wick, from where the news of the loss was telegraphed to the owners at Glasgow. The captain reports having seen one of the boats with thirty-three, persons swamped; the two other boats containing fifty passengers and crew were for a time missing but one of tht:m has since turned up, though it brings sad tidings. It con- tained only three persons out of twenty-eight of the passengers and crew who hoped by this means to save their lives. The res t perishedin the struggle to'reachland. The Hibernia belonged to the Anchor liue of New Yoik and Clyde steamers, her regis- tered owners being Messrs R. B. Handyside and Co., and others. She was built of iron in 1865 was 1,616 tons, 278 feet in length, 31 feet broad, 22 feet depth of hold, and engines 350 horse- power. Her loss is estimated at 9100,000.
I THE NEW MINISTRY,I
I THE NEW MINISTRY, I I MR GLADSTONE, having succeeded in forming a Government, received the seals of office from Her Majesty on Wednesday. Cabinet making has evidently not been an easy task with the new Prime Minister, notwithstanding that it has been assumed by the Liberal party that his speedy accession to power was inevitable, and, by reason, that not only his programme bad been sketched out but that bis forces had been arranged. In- stead of this we find a continual shuffling of the cards, and ultimately a distribution of office which partakes more of the character of a lottery than the assignment of place to talent and merit. The vacillations of the past week indicate that the construction of the Cabinet has not been such smooth sailing as many of our Liberal contem- poraries would have us imagine. Certainly the labour is almost Herculean in combining in one "Happy Family" so heterogeneous a body of followers as Mr Gladstone finds at his back clam- ouring for power the cat has a qualm of con- science in placing itself on terms of intimacy with the rat, and the monkey with either and should the Premier have succeeded in reducing the erst. while antagonists to one dead level of friendship and unanimity, he will have accomplished that with which we could not have credited even his skill and tact. Certainly it is difficult to imagine Lord Clarendon and Mr Stausfeld, Mr Lowe and Mr Bright, fraternising upon almost any subject excepting the Irish Church. Take .away this pike de resistance, and we are puzzled to find one political sentiment upon which therp can be a similitude of opinion between these dissimilar politicians. If there be anything in pecu- liarity of constitution in the mind of man—if there be such a thing as idiosyncracy-such a word as crotchet, then concord in the delibera- tions of the Gladstone Cabinet will be as marvel- lous as we believe it to be impossible. The composition of the Cabinet, however, exhibits itself in its most remarkable character when contrasted with the late Ministry of Mr Disraeli. To compare the impetuous and hot- headed Gladstone with the imperturbable, calm, aud judicious Disraeli, would really be to insult our readers. Both are undeniably men of talent, experience and thought, but the rashness and petulance of the one is no match for the prudence, skill and wisdom of the other in the direction of the affairs of a great country like England. Still we can afford to place Mr Gladstone upon an equality With Mr Disraeli, and yet claim the pre- ponderance of talent and ability for the late Con. servative Government. We can without any great stretch of conscience pit Lord Cairns against Sir William Page Wood in tha Lord Chancellorship Mr Ward Huut against Mr Lowe as Chancellor of the Exchequer (and we are not forgetful either of the great learning of the chief of the Adullamites) Mr Cony against Mr Child- ers in the Admiralty Lord Stanley against Earl Clarendon in the Foreign Office; General Peel and Sir John Pakiugton against Mr Cardwell as Minister for War the Marquis of Cranborne and Sir Stafford Northcote against the Duke of Argyle as Secretary for India, Ac., &c., while as to the Home Secretaryship the difficulty of sur- passing the great acumen of Mr Gathorne Hardy, or even of finding a statesman qualified to fill the important office from the Liberal ranks was obviously so great that it was not until the last moment that Mr Gladstone determined upon Mr Hardy's successor. Our extreme Radical friends of course augur much from the inclusion of Mr Bright within the Cabinet, and it needs no great amount of persuasion to induce us to believe that Mr Bright accepted office with reluctance. A demagogue like Mr Bright is effective only so long as he can traduce his opponents without responsibility on his own shoulders the moment he becomes shackled by the ties of office, and, therefore, answerable for his words, he becomes comparatively speaking a nonenity, and we shall be very much deceived if we hear more of the semi-seditious speeches which have been the root of the arch demagogue's popularity among poli- ticians of the ultra-Radical school. Such is the Cabinet which is to control the destinies of England in a crisis of momentous importance to all classes of our countrymen ;— such is the Cabinet that has displaced a Govern- ment that not only promised but acted upon its promises, and laid at rest a question which had been a stoppage to all practical legislation for years ;-such is the Cabinet that has voluntarily taken up another question with great professions of good intentions. Will the great Liberal party with all these grand professions treat the dis- establishment of the Irish Church as they did the matter of Reform, and use it but as the stalking- horse to power with no intentions of obtaining that great desideratum—peace and tranquillity to Ireland. We have our own opinion upon the subject, and time will show whether Mr Glad- stone and his colleagues are influenced so purely by a love of justice as they claim themselves to be, or whether in professedly legislating for the good of Ireland they are not consulting the inter- ests of self rather than the real welfare of that unhappy country.

An ap- peal has been made to the nation to determine whether the Irish Church shall be retained in its exilted and endowed condition, and the answer comes, carrying its effects into the inmost recesses of the Palace. The people of England have decided that the policy of ascen- dency shall be abandoned; but it appears they have de- cided far more than this, for they have by their verdict dismissed Chamberlains and Stewards, a Master of the Buckhounds, the Controller of the Household, and even Lords in Waiting. The Daily News cannot pronounce the composition of the Cabinet to be satisfactory as a whole; and this because in it the advanced or popular section of the Liberal party is most insufficiently represented, as com- pared with the aristocratic and purely administrative, or bureaucratic element. In administrative and debating ability, however, as regards the House of Commons, it will bear favourable contrast with any which has held power in England since the Coalition Cabinet of Lord Aberdeen, and in the Lords it will be neither weaker nor stronger than former Liberal Administrations Numerically, indeed, but not intellectually it is feebler than the Administration of Lord Russell. There is as much muscle, with less padding. The more the Standard considers the composition of the new Administration the more it is conviuced that it is but a re-shuflfing of the old Whig cards, and not in any modern sense a Liberal" Cabinet. It is the em. bodiment of aristocratic exclusiveness and the repre- sentative of the old Whiginfluence, with nothing on the face of it to show the great advances the country has made in Liberal opinions. There is actually less of the pure Radical element in it than in Lord Russell's Ministry.. It is only the revival ot a Whig Cabinet of the old pattern, with no change except that Mr Glad- stone has captured Mr Bright, and clapt him where he can be no longer mischievous. The Post observes that, with the exception of the Lord Chancellorship—the only I- dark spot in the Ministerial combination—the distribution of offices, as far as it has gone, is, on the whole, the best that could be made, and that the discretion which Mr Gladstone has exercised will recommend his Government to the country, which may now, with hope and faith renewed, wait for the measures by which it will ultimately have to be tried. In reference to the composition of the new Cabinet, the Daily Telegraph thinks Hood's lines, a little altered, would .ipply to Downing-Btreet. A sense of Whig- gery the spirit dauuted, And said, as plain as whisper in the ear, The place is haunted "—by the family ghosts —the Banshees in livery-of the old great houses. In this aspect of the Cabinet, one thing is truly lucky, viz., the absence of Lord Hussell and Sir George Grey from its ranks.

LOCAL AND DISTlilOI. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.—We beg to direct attention to an advertisement in another column stating that the tradesmen of Bangor have decided to close their shopi on Saturday, the 26th inst., in order to allow their assistants three clear days for themselves at Christmas. We trust that this good example will be followed in other places, and that the public will make their pur- chases at au early day in Christmas week. A correspondent sends the following A friend of ours asked his tenant for a vote for the Conservative member, and the man said he had been reading hit Bible to know what to do, and had found there that the Liberal soul should be made fat, but couldn't see any. thing about Conservatives, so he determined to give the Liberal man his vote. BANGOR COUNTY COURT, before R. Vaughan Williams, Esq, j uoge. William Roberts, Caelleppa, v. John Jones, Tywtynh- cilyn,—Action to recover 48 15s, five weekt3 rent of a farm which the plaintiff alleged he had paid for the de- fendant. The plaintiff said he held a farm for some years on the Penrhyn estate, and gave it up five weeks before bis tenancy was out to the defendant, who pro- mised him to pay the rent for that time. The de- fendant denied that he had ever made such a promise. The plaintiff, he said,gave up the farm to Lord Penrhyn's agent, Capt. lreoionger, of whom he took it. He had never made any agreement with the plaintiff. The defendant I went out that he might come in. The Judge-To whom did the defendant promise to pay the rent? Plaiotitf-Mr Eason. The Judge -Its he here' Plaintiff No, be is not. The Judge-But you had got everything you could off the land. Mr Harrisou, a olerk to the Penrhyn estate office, said he was present at the time the plaintiff gave up the farm to Capt. Iremonger, and he heard nothing take place between thA parties of the kind described by the plaintiff. The plaintiff—Did not John Jones promise to pay ? Witness -N o.

The plaintiff said the assault took place on a Sunday, three weeks since. The defendant who was drunk pulled him down by the hair of bis head, and then kicked him in the eye and head. He bad, he said, given no provocation, and was himself Sober. Mr J. T. Williams who appeared for the defendant endeavoured to show that the alleged assault was nothing but a fight between the par ties, but this view of the matter was not borne out. and His Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 18s 6J and costs. John Iio')>rts, Denbigh, v. Richard Humphreys, Bangor.— Action to recover £5 lis money lent. Mr Foulkes for the plaintiff; Mr T. J. Williams for the defendant who pleaded a set off. The money, it appeared was lent to the defendants' wife before her marriage and while she was the widow of another husband. The evi- dence was of au extremely contradictory character, and eventually His Honour gave judgment for X4 18s 6d, less 12s 6d part of the set-off pleaded by the defendant. There were six new and four adjourned judgment summonses, and in all 176 cases were entered, but with the exception of the above, all were disposed of by the Registrar (Mr Lloyd Jones). NUPTIAL FESTIVITIES.—On Friday evening, the 4th inst., Mr Thomas Hichards, clothier, London-place, Bangor, gave a substantial supper to his workmen and a number of friends on the occasion of his marriage with Mi; Madeo(!. Tile company numbered about thirty, and Mr D. White, gas manager, was voted to the chair, the duties of the vice-chair being discharged by Mr Griffith l'iirry, stationer. After the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were pro- posed and duly honoured, after which the Chairman in appropriate tei ms proposed the toast of the evening— Health and prosperity to Mr and Mrs liicbards," which was drunk amid loud cheers and musical honours. Mr Richards feelingly responded, and thauked the com- pany for their warmth and cordiality in drinking the toast of Mr and Mrs Itichards's health. "The Bishop and Clergy and Ministers of all denominations," "The Chairman and Vice-chairman," The Press," and other toasts were proposed aud respouded to, aft, r which the company separated, having tpeut a most pleasant even- ing. Several songs &c., were given at int,rv,tls by Miss Owen, Jauies-strtet; Mr John Richaids (Isalaw), and others. A fortunate member, known not to speak particularly well, was asked, How did you get on with your speechts 1" Very well," he answered. W hen I gut to a hitch, I said Mr Gladstone,' and then every one rose and cheered, and I thought what I should say the while.—Economist. (We fancy that more than one hon. candidate in the Liberal interest nearer home over. came a simiiar hiatus by the like manoeuvre.— ED. N. W. C.] The Smithfield Club Cattle Show commenced on Monday, and continued during the week. There were 48 entries of Devons, 34 Herefords, 66 Shorthorns, 21 Sussex, and 19 Scotch, besides polled Norfolks, Welsh, and mixed breeds, making a total, with extra stock, of 251 animals shown. As at Birmingham so at Islington, the prize for the best fat beast in the show was carried off by the Hereford breed; the best heifer being a short. horn. The silver cups for the best animals in any class were won by the Hereford steer of Mr Heath, Ludham Hall, Norwich the shorthorn heifer of Lord Hard- wicke; the best pen of fat Leicester's, belonging to Lord Berners; the best pen of Southdowns shown by Lord Walsingham best pen of Oxfords, by Mr Alfred Rogers, of Bedford and the best pen of black pigs, by Mr Chamberlayne, of Winchester. Amongst the exhibitors of stock were the Queen and the Prince of Wales, the former taking three prizes, and the latter two. The following were the prizes taken for Welsh cattle Class 30.-Welsh steers or oxen (runts), of any age- First prize, £20. breeder, silver medal; second, £10. First and silver medal, Lord Penrhyn; second, Captain Platt, Bryuyneiiadd. Class 31.—Welsh heifers or cows, of any age-First prize, LIO, breeder, silver medal second, £ ■>. First, S. Spencer, Snareston, breeder unknown; second, Lord Penrhyn. Lord Penrhyn's first prize Welsh steer was bought by Mr English, High street, Kensington and his prize Welsh cow by Mr Betteridge, flastiiigs street, Burton- crescent. At the meeting of the Smithfield Club on Tuesday, Lcrd Peurhyn was elected a vice-President. At the Birmingham Poultry Show, last week, the Hon. Miss Douglas Pennant, of I'emhyn Castle, was awarded the first prize for the best Spanish cock under a year old, ond the second prize for a Spanish hen exceed- ing a year in age. THE" CHAPEL SCREW," Tbe following letter appeared in the London Standard of Monday SIK,— This most powerful of all screws was used at the late elections in Wales, and applied with all the foice of leverage that preachers and deacons could invent to compel ignorant but devout members of their chapels to vote for the Radical candidates, who had adroitly re- tained the preachers and Jacks (a name given to unor- dained itinerant preachers) in preference to the lawyers, well knowing that the Gospel had more influence upon the conscience than the law. The following instances will prove that the power of the priests in Ireland is scarcely equal to the unscrupulous and profane screw lif the Welsh dissenting preachers and leaders. Two persons were dissuaded from voting for Mr Vaughan, in Cardiganshire by a preacher, who pressed upon them that it was a "matter of the soul," and that "neither of them had a chance of being saved in the (i y of the Lord if they voted against Mr Richard Another preacher uttered the following at a chapel near Llan- granag :—" I know all the dissenters in the lower part of the county. I shall be at the poll on the day of the electiou, and if I see any dissenter voting for Vaughan I will expose him without mercy." Near Carmarthen a preacher told one of his flock, If it is your intention to vote for Jones and Puxley, then, in case you die to- night, you will find yourself in hell," thus terrifying the poor farmers, who looked to these preachers as men of God and their spiritual guides. Another common mode of applying the chapel screw was the solemn question, "How will you be able to appear iu the judgment at the last day if you will vote for the Tories ?' And again, "Remember, that in the voting for Mr Sartoris you are fighting on God's side t" Prayer meetings were held on the moruiog of the election and the voters marched off from thence fervent in spirit to vote for the Radical candidates, feeling that they were really fighting on the side of the Lord. At one prayer meeting a devout dissenter uttered the following We thank Thee, 0 Lord, for the excellent harvest this year We thank Thee for the seasonable weather by which our cattle have had food this autumn We thank Thee for all Thy mercies both temporal and spiritual; but, above all, we thank Thee, 0 Lord, for having sent unto us a stranger to defend our rights: and to relieve us from the unjust tyranny under which we suffer! Bless him, 0 Lord Bless .Mr Mr Sur (Aside to a neighbourDavy, do you re- DIem her his name I") "Mr Sur- (but failing to, recollect, or obtain the name of Sartoris, he proceeds), 0 Lord, Thou knowest his name better than I do, therefore do Thou give him success at the electiou, that we may trample up, a the enemies of liberty, both civil and religious." I need not add any more examples of the :hapcI screw. but hope another time not to be cursed by its unscrupul- ous, if not blasphemous applications, by reverend or non. reverend lialaatiig.-I remain, sir, yours truly, INDEX.
