SIR -It was with very great pleasure that I noticed in your last week's issue of the Advertiser the Plea for Assistants," set forth by one signing IllmRelf « Calico," and dating from Cefn Mawr. As another member of the "cloth" in the immediate neighbour- hood of Cefn, and as such a participator of the same disadvantages I can fully endorse his statements, and also coincide most heartily with his views on our having a weekly half-holiday. Taking into considera- tion the long hours we are penned in, many of us where the air we breathe is not of the purest especially so in summer, it is no exaggeration to say, that not a few are thus driven to a premature grave—and this tolerated—yea, more than tolerated-in enlightened England. Recreation mental culture these words fall upon our ears as strange and almost unmeaning, owing, of course, to our leisure hours being so limited. ) It is not much that we ask for a few hours weekly, there would thus be in our reach a possibility of our placing ourselves (it would be our own fault if we did not) on a par with other young men. Undoubtedly customers, if they knew that the several shopkeepers had made it a rule to close their establishments at a certain hour, on a certain day weekly (it is only justice to them to say so) they would make their purchases accordingly. The same jnstice we must also accord to our masters. I believe nine-tenths of them, if not all, would be as glad of the holiday as ourselves. The fault, more especially then rests with ourselves, therefore, let us awake to the fact and be up and doing." I would suggest that an early meeting of employes be convened, there to discuss the best means to obtain the desired end. Apologising for taking up so much space.—I am, yours very truly, lluabon, April 28th, 1880. HOPEFUL. FIVE POUNDS INCLUDING COSTS. Srfl,—Such was the sentence uassed upon a poor workingman in the County Police Court in our town on Wednesday last. The kindness of including in- stead of adding the costs was no doubt well considered by their Worships, and cannot be gainsaid. It must have been a rare mixture of mercy and justice which does onu's heart good, and ought to melt into tenderness the stony heart of the poor fellow who was the subject of it, especially as it was immediately suc- ceeded by a sort of dying kick, which seems as plain as words can convey thoughts, to say, I know you can't pay £ 5 so you must go to gaol for a month, or one month means a month of durance vile, of separa- tion from family and friends, of such unproductive or unprofitable labour as the rules of Her Majesty s establishment at Ruthin impose. But the man had done something? Yes, he had. Two young sparks were roaming about the town when most folks were in bed—perhaps they were electioneering—looking after the doubtfuls of their party—or perhaps they were quietly going home from a festive gathering, quite sober, their character and position in life provided for that, when this wicked impudent fellow, had the audacity to ask them what color they were? at the same time button-holing the pair, after a fashion well known in Vale-street. For this gross outrage, this great impertinence, he was at once put flat on his back, trod upon, and kicked two or three times in the back. And serve him right, you indignantly exclaim, why should he be inquisitive about the "colors of gentlemen ? he got only what he deserved Then, Mr Editor, you think with me, that he was paid off in his own coin, and the account settled at the same time?" Just so, but what about the ";Cl including coats ? Oh, that was merely the receipt, the acknow- ledgement. True, but it came from the wrong side. A scuffle took place, and the man who is shown to have got the worst of it has to pay. That one of the two young gentlemen was hurt was clearly shown, but it was also as clearly shown that the poor fellow who was fine(I did not inflict that injury, in fact could not in the very nature of the case do so, as he was being held down on the ground, and kicked, and trod upon. Some people may call that justice. I leave it to public opinion, which is in the main right. Denbigh, April 29th, 1880. EVEN HAND. I THE NATIONAL DRINK nVLL FOR 1879. ——— DEAR Sm,-The Excise Returns giving the con- sumption of intoxicating liquors for 1879 have been published, and, now that the excitement of the elec- tion is passing away, it may not be unacceptable to your readers to have placed before them a statement showing the amount of money expended upon intoxi- cating liquors during the year 1879. The following table gives particulars of the various kinds of intoxicating liquors consumed, together with the money expended thereon. It also.gives thereon- Humution for 1878 Gallons. 1879. 1878.

It will be a source of much gratification to all who are concerned for the national well-being to observe the great falling-off whielf there has been in the con- j sumption of intoxicating liquors in 1879 as compared with 1878, reducing the drink bill to an amount below that of any year since 1871. That year it amounted to 2118,906,066 in 1872 it rose to 2131,601,490 1873, 2140,014,712; 1874, kl41,342,997 1875, £ 142,876,669 ;1 1876, £ 147,288,760 in 1877 it fell to 2142,007,231 in 1878 it rose a little, being £ 142,188^00, and in 1879 it h:td fallen to Ql28,143,864, being, as I have said, less than any year since 1871, and nineteen millions less than in 1876. Perhaps it may be said that a considerable propor- tion of the falling off has arisen from the diminution of the people's means owing to the depression in trade. Doubtless some of it may have arisen from this cause, but if the falling off were wholly attributable to the badness of the times, we should find the same cause affecting the consumption of other things, such as tea, coffee, &c., but this has not been the case, as the following table will show. Table showing the consumption 01 tea, coffee, and cocoa dnrinn the years 1878 and 1879 I 1878. 1879. Tea. 157,691,7621b 1(50,652,1871b=l-9 per cent. increase Coffee 33,393,2481b. 34,696,2561b=3'9 per cent. increase Cocoa 9,980,1621b 10,lll,5261b=l-3 per cent. increase oiving an average increase of 2-3 per cent. From the tables which I have given it will be seen that whilst the consumption of intoxicating liquors fell off to the extent of 9'8 per cent, the consumption of tea, &c., increased 2'3 per cent, clearly proving that the reduction in the former case did not arise entirely from the crippled resources of the people, but partly from a change in their habits, due to the spread of temperance truth, to the establishment of coffee- houses, &c., and to improvement in the general legis- lation of the country. It will no doubt alsc be interesting to your reader to know in what proportion the drink expenditure is spread over the United Kingdom. The following table will show this, so far as concerns the consump- tion of beer and British spirits, which are the main items of expenditure. The particulars for wine and foreign spirits are not given in the returns.

Scotland. 6,559,147. 6,287,477= 4*1 Ireland 6,101,905. 5,335,000=12 5 From the above figures it will be seen that whilst the falling off in the consumption of intoxicating liquors has been considerable all round, it has been much greater in Ireland, where Sunday closing had recently come into operation, than in England or Scotland, and there can be no doubt that the good re- sulting from Sunday closing in Ireland would have been still more marked had it not been that five of the large towns, viz., Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Limerick, and Waterford, are exempted from the operation of the Sunday Closing Act. On taking a general survey of the position of mat- ters relating to the nation's intemperance, there will everywhere be a feeling of great satisfaction, if not of relief, at the rapid progress which has taken place in favour of Temperance during the past few years. During the height of our prosperity, six or seven years ago, whilst the evils of intemperance were universally admitted and by many deplored, there yet appeared on the part of the public to be an indifference and an apathy that filled with gloom the hearts of good men and the fear arose in many minds that the nation had become so greatly debased and enslaved bv drink as to have become callous to its vital interests. The con- tinued spread of temperance truth, coupled with the severe distress which has existed, and which has largely been the result of this intemperance, has at length not only enlightened the understandings of the people, but has roused them to such a sense of per sonal obligation as has borne the wholesome fruits to which I have referred. This growth of opinion has been largely manifested during the recent elections. For the first time. per- haps, in the history of electioneering, politicians have taken little or no account of the Publican power the conscience of the nation has been too much aroused to permit of its lending its influence in support of an interest which is so antagonistic to the commercial moral, physical, and social well-being of the people, and the result is, we have a Parliament m?r? in sympathy with questions of social reform than ?n? previous Parliament during the present generate and if the new House of Commons succeeds in dea? with tShe f licensing system in such a manner as will redeem the country from the fearful e?-esulStn?g therefrom it will earn the gratitude, not only of th! nation, but of the whole civilised world.—T I yours traly, I yours traly, WILLIAM HOYLF Claremont, Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire, April 17th, 1880..

I UNCLAIMED MONEY.—(Edward Preston, 1, Great College-street, S.W.)—This work, which has now reached its fourth thousand, is, as its title gives it, a handv book for heirs-at-law and next of kin. It will afford great interest not only to those who seek infor- mation respecting unclaimed money, but to the general reader. BARTHOLOMEW'S ELECTION MAP OF THE BRITISH ISLES (London and Liverpool: George Philip and Son) has now been corrected to show the new Parlia- ment. While the colouring of the counties and boroughs shows at a glance where Conservatism, Liberalism, and Honte-rulisin predominate, a list of all the elections is supplIed in handy book form—the party gains being also indicated. BORDER COUNTIES' WORTHIES is the title of a book by E. G. Salisbury' of Glanaber, Chester, and is a compilation of short biographies of the Worthies" of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Monmouth- shire, which originally appeared in the pages of the Oswestry Advrrtizrr. It is a volume of 614 pages and Contains the information relating to these worthies' in a handy form, that could not otherwise be obtained except by a vast amount of labour and research. (Publishers: Woodall and Yenables, Oswestry; Holder and Stoughton, London.) SKETCHES OF PAROCHIAL LIFE AND CHARACTER, by the Silent Member (published by E. W. Allen, Ave Maria Lane, London). This little work, which is to be completed in four series, published quarterly, is written by one who has taken an acti ve part in parochial affairs for some years. In it are set forth types of character which are to be met with at every governing board throughout the country, wherever the glorious principle of self government is carried out. We most strongly recommend it to all members of Boards of Guardians. DR BARNAKDO forwards us the annual report of the East End Juvenile Mission, "Dr. Barnardo's Homes," 1878-9, which includes lists of donations and state- ments of accounts to 31st March, 1879. The institu- tions now provide for the maintenance of 758 homeless boys and girls, which are daily increasing; and through the recent outbreak of scarlet fever by which 150 of these children have been prostrated, funds are most urgently needed to supply the present requirements. To show the good work that is being done we may state that in addition to the Refuge Work, the Com- mittee support day, night, and two ragged Sunday schools, in which upwards of 2000 children receive religious education, a medical mission, two large mission halls, seating together 2500 adults, and two coffee palaces, which are in operation in the East of London, and reach a large adult population every week. Contributions should be sent to Mr William Fowler, treasurer, or to Dr. Barnardo, 18 and 20, t Stepney Causeway, London, E., who will duly ac- knowledge them.

MIPDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The rapid fall in pig iron has at last received a check, and to-day a better feeling ruled than for some time past, people being rather more desirous to buy. Most holders now be- lieve that iron has got nearly as low as it is likely to get, and are eager to sell. To-day the general quota- tions for No. 3 G.M.B. was 37s net for prompt de- livery, but a good many wanted 38s. Yesterday sales were made at 36s 3d, so that there is a distinct gain in prices. Forge iron is about the same price as No. 3, and warrants a few pence more, some sales reaching 38s. Connal's stores decline 700 tons per day nearly 85,000 tons in stock to-day. Finished iron weaker again common bars being obtainable from manufac- turers at £6 10s; angles, 1:6 101. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—The market was over supplied this afternoon. Pigs were in buyers' favour, and finished iron might have been had at less money than a week ago. Sheets of the single gauge were easy at JE9 per ton. They might have been had occasionally at £8 10s. Tinplates were plentiful; there was a sale at 3s., but that price was not generally given. The Americans are negotiating for finished iron, and certain export merchants hold considerable orders for early despatch. Distribution coal was weak, with a tendency towards a declared drop.
IAGRICULTURE. I
AGRICULTURE. I FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark-lane Express says—" The weather during the week has been exceptionally fine, and promises to make this year one of cereol abundance. Grass is thick and full of life, and fruit trees will probably give a heavy yield. Spring sowing has finished under satisfactory circumstances, and farmers have been busy in harrow- ing, rolling winter wheat, and preparing the land for root crops. Young wheat is beginning to tiller well. Barley is showing above ground. Beans, though a little backward, look healthy and promising. Scotch advices report that a finer or earlier seed time is not on record. To this flourishing condition of agricul- tural affairs must to some extent be ascribed the extreme depression which has fallen on the grain trade during the last fortnight, sales having been effected at a decline of 2s per quarter. Liberal shipments of grain have also arrived, and helped to reduce business to a state of panic, and instructions given to factors have been simply 'sell.' The value of white American wheat has declined 5s per quarter, and that of red 4s. The future is, of course, uncertain, and all that can be said is that so sharp a relapse may be followed by sharper reaction.

FAREWELL SElnw.-Tlre Rev. LI. Wynne Jones, vicar of Llanllwcliaiarn, preached his farewell sermon at the Llanllwchaiarn Church on Sunday morning, previously to his removal to Chirk. The rev. gentle- man took his text from 2nd Corinthians ii,, 15 and 16 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish to the one we are the savour of death unto death and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things ?" The sermon was listened to with close attention by a large congregation.

NATIONAL EISTEDDVOD OF WALE-i.-The Society of Cymmrodorion (London) held a meeting last week, at which a committee was appointed to organise a Social Science Sectjon of the Society in connection with the sittings of this year's Eisteddvod at Carnar- von, when papers dealing with the social, sanitary and commercial aspects of the Principality will be read and discussed. Several gentlemen well known in the scientific world will take part in the proceedings. The National Eisteddvod Committee have already engaged the whole of the vocalists and instrumentalists for the evening concerts, and the other arrangements are in an advanced stage. The following is a com- plete list of the artistes engaged :—Soprani, Miss Mary Davies, Miss Mary T. Williams, R.A.M., Miss Maggie J.

Dr. John Stainer, Owain Alaw, &c., have also been retained. It is hoped the Prince of Wales may be induced to visit Carnarvon on one of the Eisteddvod days. DR. liE JONHH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.- ITS UNEQUALLED EFFICACY IN GENERAL DEBILITY AND EMACIATION.—In cases of Debility and Emacia- tion, the powerful curative influence of Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil is graphically described by Sir Henry Marsh, Bart., M.D. Physician in Ordinary to the Queen in Ireland, who* after extensive use, strongly recommended this j re- paration, and observed: "I have frequently pre- scribed Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. I consider it to be a very pure Oil, not likely to create disgust, and a therapeutic agent of great valufe." This eminent Physician remarks: "With strumous and emaciated subjects, and where the general health is impaired, this remedy tells with peculiar efficacy. The reviving and reanimating effects of a regular daily course of this animal Oil are highly satisfactory. Its favourable action on the system is renovating it checks progressi ve emaciation, restores the yielding health, rebuilds, as it were, the tottering frame, and brings about a most remarkable and salutary change in all the vital functions." Dr. de Jongh;s Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil is sold only in capsuled imperial half-pints 2s tid; pints, 4s 9d quarts, 9s with his etamp and signature and the signature of his sole consignees on the capsule and the label under wrapper by all chemists.

Some of the victories won ha,-e 1 fi I ( e )een singu l ar signi ficance. In Carnarvonshire the ^t1- servative candidate was the son of Lord Pe 1\ {'1m. nobleman who has not only enormous IH'}>elt.

Ín Iseat gomeryshire, so undisputed was Tory ascend Onto thought to be, that from 1832 there has been u d!lc, contest in the county; that in 1862, when Lihe:ll[ one didate was defeated by 311 votes. Sir W. W \v can. Earl Powis, and the Marquis of Lon(lon(i trry a large proportion of the county, and their 'IV flnence was unsparingly used. But all P, not save Mr Charles Wynn, who is a C'juld relative of Sir Watkin, from being beaten h !}lar Rendell, though a comparative stranger t? .Ir county. In Carmarthenshire the case Wa hardly 1 striking. The influence of the ?reat houses of pL ? and Dynevor, and ma w of the other leading la„? J .b 1 Y an,]. owners, was against the Liberals. Yet in .s? that, and the personal popularity of Lord H,,?.? \f d I I, -'if Powel' was returne d by a m?ority of 1,f);j'? 1 389  J O\'pr Lord Emlyn and of 1,389 over Mr J,)ne, It ? n U f I> 1 atp I that no Liberal has sat for Pt?ztii)r,, f,,r oJ years but now Mr Davies has won the seat bv a 's> stantial maJorty. ?o less H?ttfyn? and'?.,?; were the victories won m Cardiganshire, HreciinslijrM' 11 1. s IIr and Merionethahire, all s howing a iar,fp maj ority for the Liberia than was "r'l _rl th I t. I lr1 before. What is the exp ana lon, II the lirst ¡ I f N f. a(:. th" Welsh are a nation of Nonconformists and' J 'b I S f tl I 1 Ill" nuently of Liberal. Some of the iii,l,I), their charts and other represent?ttons of the Wplsh Church have been trying of late, though in th., f?. very Stubb.T? facts, to lay the Hatteru? ¡In,.ti, e't,t f I' I' I' I 'II I, their souls, and to com f ort their Loutish frL ,„ ?.j the assurance that the power of Dissent w?d.j- in the Pl'mcI!Jahty, and that the people were drifting in the rrincipaitty, and that the peo p!<. were ?r?)," back into the bosom of the Church. Thb r.? tion will very effcctua!!y rhld that H;,?;,? It may be confidently stated that, as ar? bl 'I 11 and with iiicon,?i(lerable excel)tii)iiq, the Church of England went bodily with the Conservative Then secondly, the We?h people fortu?fn.tt:,? ti 1 f 1!1I had acquired confid ence in the "e I'ecy.. tbe ),.m.,? In 1808 they fought bravely under the open v..t? ?, 'f '1' ,n, wrested sevearl aeat? from the Tones. Hut th. v to pay dearly for their courage. For after t)? p!t'( ti, was over scores of honest and industrious [unw.r< anj others were turned out of their holdings by tive landlords for no other offence than voting ,v t^i. in" to their consciences. I had the satisfaction ,,f bringing the conduct of these little field" before the House of Commons, and of them up to the just reprobation of Parliament and the country. A considerable sum of money was al" raised to provide some help for the victims of TI); prosecution; but when the election of 1S71 came the evictions of 1808 were not forgotten, and thou-h the electors had then the protection of the ballot, the Conservati ve agents had so effectually inilmed th.-in with doubts as to its absolute secrecy that the remem- branee of former sufferings, combined with the apathy and discontent of the Nonconformists, led to act,, siderable falling off in the Liberal strength. At the late election, however, though some of the older juei, were still painfully doubtful and perplexed, the ;;rej bulk of the people had gained assurance of safety under the system of secret voting. The Dissenters also had forgotten or condoned the wrongs and slight* done them by the Liberal Government, and care will, no doubt, be now taken that similar reasons for alitila. tion and disaffection shall not occur again. Nor must I omit to remark that the farmers bitterly resented the mockery practised upon them by the Agricultural Holdings Act. Nowhere is there more crying need f"r some protection to the farmers against arbitrary pvic. tions than in Wales. And when they found that the measure offered to them for that purpose was HR? which "kept the word of promise to the ear and broke it to the hope," they were disappointed and disgusted in the same proportion. It is to be hoped that the Liberal Government will take an early opportunity to meet their just expectations in this respect. I think II may add another reason for the com pleteness of tilt victory achieved. The people of Wales are eminently lovers of peace and haters of war. I believe I cuuM appeal to every one of the Liberal candidates wb" contested seats in the Principality whether the senti- ment to which the Welshmen most readily responded was not that of utter horror and detestation uf the un- righteous and sanguinary wars in which the Conserva- tive Government had involved the country. I had an opportunity ot addressing crowded audiences in tive different counties, and nothing struck me so much a, the storm of indignation that was always awakened by any reference to scenes of slaughter and havnc in. flicted upon the people of Afghanistan and Zululand for the offence of defending their country against an unprovoked and unrighteous invasion. The Conserva- tives are naturally very much chagrined at this insur- rection of the Welshmen against their rule, and are driven to all sorts of confused and contradictory w.u« of accounting for it. Some of them, notably Mr Pen. nant, the defeated candidate for Carnarvonshire, have given vent to their mortification in wholesale and calumnious charges against the people. Hilt even in these charges themselves there is implicit confes- sion that the electors rejected them simply because j; they did not like them. For if it were true, as the Conservative candidates seem to have been informed by their hirling canvassers, that some of the people did, under the pressure of influence which the names of great landowners and employers of labour could not fail to exercise over them, promise them their votes, and if afterwards they broke the promise and voted against them, is it not wonderful they cannot draw the inevitable inference that this was done because there was in the heart and conscience of the voters rooted abhorrence of Tory principles, and that if the Conservatives had been returned by votes thus ex- torted from unwilling voters they would not have been the real representatives of the sentiments and convic- tions of the country ? As usual, of course the Noncon- formists, and especially the Nonconformist ministers, come in for a large share of detraction. There cannor be a doubt that the Nonconformist ministers posses* great influence in Wales, nor can it be doubted that they used that influence to the utmost against the Conservative Government and its policy of bluster and blood. But it is scarcely possible to conceive "i any influence more perfectly legitimate. It is puiely a moral and religious influence-an in. fluence grounded on an appeal to truth and con- science. For what on earth can a Nonconformist minister do except use reason and persuasion ? Will it be said that he may excommunicate a recalcitrant mem ber? Not a single instance of such a thiiu'hi- been adduced or can be adduced in the whole electoral history of Wales; and what would a Dissenting minister gain by that except the loss of those wh" form part of his congregation and contribute to hi- support ? The clergy of the Church of England were zealous and active on the other side, as thev had the best right to be. But why should the Nonconformist minister be branded as an agitator and incendiary f'T doing what the clerics do without rebuke ? N., (fk)tilit some of the Conservative candidates were deceived, but they were to a great extent self-deceived. rn. happily many of the Welsh gentry are ignorant (.f tile language of the people among whom they live, aril seem proud of their ignorance. But they have to pay the penalty.
