THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of Wales is uow fairly started, and under the manage- ment and control of a legally constituted body. We report an important meeting which took place at Aberystwyth last week, the result of which is the completion of all preliminary work and the establishment on a tirm basis of an institution which it is to be hoped will become one of the greatest powers for good the Principality possesses. The selection of Lord Aberdare as President is a good one. He will bring a large experience and eminent qualifications to bear upon the na- tional work, and in the vice presidents he has most excellent confreres. The same may be said of the Council, the members of which are well known as ardent Welshmen, friends of education, and sound practical men. Then the utmost confidence can be placed in the governors; indeed we think the choice of all the officers has been ad- mirably made, and will command the ap- proval of all. We cordially endorse, and we know we speak on behalf of everyone interested in the University, the resolution agreed to in recognition of the services of Mr Hugh Owen in connection with the in- stitution. Mr Owen has laboured most indefatigably in. the work, has spared no effort, neither time, talents, nor money, and it was only fitting that in the happy con- summation ot his labors, hQ should receive such a well-earned compliment as that paid him. We hope he will be long spared to continue his work of usefulness, and that he will be rewarded by the continued success of the University. That success is sure we have but little doubt, if the institution is liberally supported by all interested in the Principality.

MR ALDERMAN GEE could, probably, have hit upon no more generally acceptable form of "return" for the honor conferred upon his family during the past fortnight by the inhabitants of Denbigh, in connec- tion with the majority of his second son, than that contained in his valuable sug- gestion on Saturday last, in reference to the establishment in the town of an insti- tution for the sole and the especial treat- ment of epidemic fevers for although Den- bigh may be, and, we have no doubt is, one of the most healthiJy-situated and" well- favoured" boroughs in the Principality, the establishment in the town of a well- conducted Fever Hospital, where, in the event of an epidemic, the advantages of isolated treatment could be extended to cases of infectious disease cannot fail to be an incalculable boon to the community at large. The inhabitants of Denbigh, there- fore, will no doubt gladly receive and act upon Mr Gee's sensible suggestion, accom- panied as it is by a subscription of twenty guineas towards carrying out the work. We believe the total sum required to be raised is from 2500 to E600, and that the movement is likely to receive the support of influential and philanthropic gentlemen may be justly inferred from the fact that Mr Gee's "nest-egg" has been handsomely supplemented by the Mayor of Denbigh with the munificent donation of one hundred pounds. In all probability, there- fore, the town of Denbigh may, ere long, be in a position to congratulate itself on the possession, not only of the County Asylum and General Infirmary, but also of an equally important, if not so extensive, an institution, in the shape of a well-managed and well-supported Fever Hospital.

As THE SESSION DRAWS on it is natural to inquire what kind of bill of fare Ministers are likely to present to Parliament. There has been a singular absence of political in- formation during the past few months—an almost total lack of prophesy so that those who are not actually in the secrets of minis- ters can only deal in probabilities. One thing appears to be certain, the session will not be a sensational one. This may be safely predicted from the fact that the Cabinet councils have been extremely few and far between. It would seem that Mr Disraeli expects to sail in smooth water, especially now that the Opposition ranks are palsied by the resignation of their leader. Yet the Government stand com- mitted to a somewhat active policy. Little was done last session, because ministers were called upon to take office unawares. Having, however, said so much on this score, they implied that the second session of their existence should give special evi- dence of their administrative ability, and show to the world that a long period of op- position had not unfitted them for the task of legislation. They will probably attempt some small reforms, in order to fulfil the promises thus made. We shall find their I efforts directed to local taxation, and it will not be surprising if further steps are taken towards giving the country a more effective sanitary system. We must not expect any wider application of educational principles, though we may be certain that Lord San- don's schemes of re-action will not be re- peated. It is likely that a sop will be thrown to Cerberus in the shape of a modification of the Masters and Servants Act, for events seem to have proved the Conservative working man is not altogether a myth, and Mr Disraeli will feel anxibus to encourage that feeling in his favor amongst those who were once deemed his natural enemies. It is not un- likely that measures may be taken for exer- cising a little more control over the rail- ways of the country, recent calamities having shown the necessity for a stricter system of inspection than the one hitherto adopted. It has now been demonstrated beyond doubt that Government supervision and interference are needed to keep com- panies up to their duties, and that the pub- lic safety cannot be insured without a more active application of these influences. Lord Elcho, it is said, is to have charge of a bill for the better government of the City of London, but whether the measure is destined to receive the support of Government is as yet unknown. Certainly, no direct en- couragement has been offered, and there is not much reason for believing that Minis- ters are prepared to promote so gigantic a task as giving, so to speak, a constitu- tion" to the metropolis. That the religious combat will be renewed is not so probable as appeared at the close of last session. Then, the gladiators sat down to rest with the full determination to continue the fray with redoubled vigour when the time should arrive for so doing. Circumstances, however, in the interval must have modi- fied, if they have not altogether changed, their intentions. The effect of last session's discussion has been greater than was ex- pected, and it is felt that there is a danger of legislation travelling too fast. An im- pression is gradually prevailing to the ¡ effect that a crusade at once so delicate and important should receive an impulse from the public rather than be hurried by states- men whose efforts might possibly be dic- tated by rival political motives.

MUCH has been made of the disorganised condition of the Liberal party. This is a theme of never ending delight to Tory papers and Tory speakers. They are con- tinually tumiug it over and over as a sweet "vr_ J I- ULVADUL. ,¡"u UOUOt tnere is a great differ- ence between the rival parties in this re- spect. In one you have all the stolidity and consequent docility of matter-in the other,the activity and freedom ofindet= endent thought with its attendant insubordination. While we do not consider the present state of the Liberal party perfection, we much prefer it to the normal condition of the other side. It is more free, more healthy, and more powerful, and in the end will prove more successful. The Liberal party suffers more from lack of organisation than from apparent divergencies of opinion, and efforts to supply the need are now being made throughout the country. The Liberals of Wrexham have this week supplied an important link in the chain by opening a comfortable reading room for the use of their members, well supplied with newspapers and periodicals. As will be seen from our report, a healthy tone pervaded the pro- ceedings, and we have no doubt that the means of communication and intercourse now afforded will materially strengthen Liberalism in the county and boroughs. — ———

Ma BRIGHT'S SPEECH at Birmingham, which was listened to by the largest audience it was possible to crowd within the largest building and within the com- pass of the speaker's voice, has been read with avidity by hundreds of thousands of friends and foes during the week and will be by thousands more in the newspapers pub- lished to-day. To say that this speech comes up to Mr Bright's former platform orations either in eloquence or interest would be probably. more than the performance would warrant, at the same time it was significant both in its omission it was as well as its utterances of the present position of parties and politics. xne questions on which the public now seek enlightenment are those of the Liberal leadership and the Liberal policy of the forthcoming session, but on these Mr Bright was wisely reticent. A policy is out of the question until a leader is selected, and any declaration as to the leadership would have involved that ques- tion in greater difficulty. A waiting-and- watching policy is the contribution of Mr Bright, and this does not afford much scope for oratory. With regard to the past session, Mr Bright was also in a peculiar position. He could not very uracefully criticise the measures of the Government, having abstained from doing so when those measures were before Parlia- ment, and for a similar reason he must necessarily be silent on the action of the Liberal party. When we find the field of political thought thus narrowed down, we see at once sufficient grounds for coming to the conclusion that Mr Bright displayed great discretion in the selection of his subject. With regard to the treatment thereof few will dispute. Taking up the question of a Church Establishment in the light of the Public Worship Regulation Act of last session, he shews clearly and distinctly that the logical outcome of that measure, and the causes which have led to its adoption, is inevitably disestab- lishment. In taking up this question in the light of last session, Mr Bright is not alone among Liberal statesmen. It has, in fact, been the chief topic dwelt upon by thoughtful politicians during the recess. It will be remembered as the chief burden of Mr Osborne Morgan's last address to his constituents. It is a question rapidly looming up in the range of political vision, and the party needs educating, and is beino educated thereon. Mr Blight's valuable contribution to that education will no doubt hasten the consummation, and be accepted in that light by both friends and foes.

FEW MEN of the present age have de- parted from amongst us amidst such general j and wide feelings of regret as Charles Kings- I ley, who on Thursday 1. was laid at rest in his own quiet church-yard at Eversley. Few men have exercised such a wide and varied influence, or have covered such an exten- sive field of usefulness. As a preacher he displayed the great power and thought cha- racteristic of the school we associate with the honoured name of Maurice. As a poet, he also evinced much talent and originality. As a social reformer, anxious and eager for the redressing of wrongs which existed, he has earned a kindly remembrance. But he will be best and most extensively remem- bered for his labours in the fields of litera- ture and science. Here he shone as one of the bright lights of his age. He has," as a friendly pen in the leading journal re marks. "left the stamp of a vigorous indi- viduality on' English society and English literature." The beauty of his romances, which rank highest among his works, is un- rivalled. How bright and picturesque is Westward Ho How lovingly does he depict the glories of his native Devonshire, and how he revels in vivid pictures of the stirring times of Elizabeth, fairly carrying us back to those chivalrous days, so clear* so life like are they. And the same orand spirit, the same bracing air, we find in Hypatia, "Two Years Ago," and other of his works, none of which we can read without feeling stronger and better. As the writer above quoted says, "there is nothing ephemeral either in their interest or in their teachiRg, and we certainly owe a In their teachiFlg," ?-nd we certainly owe a deep debt of gratitude to Kingsley for his books. In the scientific world he was equally at home, his position being strikingly described as corning between the general students and lovers of Nature and the highest intellects of the day. His work was to popularise science, and he succeeded in achieving this end. In this connection it is that the loss of Canon Kingsley is brought home with peculiar force to our own neighbourhood. How much does not Chester owe to him ? Look at the noble society now at work there, pa- tientlv. carefully, and let us hope success- fully, investigating the mysteries of natural science. It is probable that this society would never have been brought into exist- ence but for Canon Kingsley, who took the greatest amount of trouble to successfully set it on foot, and then to carry on the work. Then the formation of the Wrexham society is equally due to his efforts, and he was as warmly attached to it as to the parent society at Chester. Called away to another sphere of labour, he nevertheless ever continued to manifest the kindliest in- terest in the proceedings of these societies, the members of which individually deplore the loss they have sustained as that of a dear and intimate friend. Elsewhere we give touch- ing allusions to the sad event which have been made by Mr Acton at Wrexham and Canon Hillyard at Chester, and their re- marks will find a response in the hearts of everyone who came in contact with Mr Kingsley. And if it is necessary to raise a local monument to his memory, we feel sure that if he were able to express an opinion, he would be best pleased, not with any costly pile of marble or granite, but with a more general sympathy with the doings of the two societies, and a more wide spread interest in the study of the beauties and marvels of nature—the works of Him whom Canon Kingsley knew and loved so well.
