THE people of Liverpool are engaged in real and earnest fighting for the vacancy on the representation caused by the death of Mr Graves. Both parties have succeeded in securing the very best men as candidates, Mr Caine for the Liberals, and Mr Torr for the Tories. We are glad to see that the Welshmen of Liverpool, who number some fifty thousand, are exerting themselves, under the auspices of the Welsh Reform As- sociation. To-day (Saturday) they hold a meeting in favor of Mr Caine, presided over by Mr John Roberts, the future member for the Carnarvonshire Boroughs, as Mr Melly, M.P., very happily remarked the other evening. Mr Osborne Morgan, Q.C, M P., Mr Watkin Williams, Q C., M.P., Mr Richard Davies, M.P., Mr Morley, M.P., Mr Rathbone, M.P., Mr Melly, M.P., Mr Rylands, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Rees, the Rev Owen Thomas, the Rev. Charles Garrett, the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown, as well as other influential gentlemen, are expected to be pre- sent and take part in the meeting- Mr C line will address the meeting in Welsh and English.

SIR WATKIN it appears is cf opinion that the present scheme of military organisation is a Liberal one, which may probably drop out when Mr Cardwell drops out of office a few months hence, and one of Sir Watkin's own friends succeeds him. Then another and entirely different plan might be adopted, and the military centre system abolished. But does even Sir Watkin expect us to believe that ducks and drakes are thus made of our money by rival political parties as they come in and go out, regardless of the true interests of the community ? We cannot even put the idea in our pipe and smoke it at the hon. baronet's suggestion. We have an idea that these important questions are determined upon by Royal commissions and Parlia- mentary committees, and based upon the greatest military knowledge and experience of the country. The recent revolution in our army was not the mere creation of the Liberal Government any more than its change will be that of a Conservative one. The fullness of time had come, and the necessities of the day would have compelled any Government to carry it out. More. It will not be changed by political change, but by the change and development of scientific warfare and the exigencies of the service. We would rather believe that Sir Watkin objected to grant the Liberal Government a 99 years' lease than we would his theory of his friend at the War Office, changing Mr Cardwell's policy-abolishingmilittJ;ry centr. s and re-enacting purchase. DEATH seems to delight thia month in cut- ting down our men of genius, and is making sad havoc on every side. Not least amongst toose that have been so unexpectedly called away, stands the name of Dr. Emlyn Jones. He was entirely self taught, having risen to the highest position as an eloquent preacher, an accomplished scholar, and a highly gifted poet in spite of many disadvantages. His mind was very fertile, and his pen always doing something, and no doubt he ex- perienced in his own case that a "change of work was as good as rest to him." He had the honor of sitting twice in the bardic chair, but we believe his fame will chiefly rest upon some short poems which his nation will not willingly let die. His writings clearly indicated that some sweetness and light" may be found in the ranks of Dissent. We trust that the account of his life may prove a stimulus to many of the young men of the Cymry to "learn to labour and to wait."

THE Ruabon School Board had quite a discussion this week on religious liberty and religious equality. The Endowed Schools' Commissioners formulated a scheme last year for the management of the Ruabon Grammar School. At one time within our memory this endowment was absolutely worthless, either to the parish or for the promotion of education. But of recent years and since the appointment of the present master, it has been very efficiently conducted, though perhaps not so much in the interests of the parish as it might have been, and probably henceforth will be. Hitherto the parishioners have had neither voice nor power in its administration, and though the scheme of the Commissioners materially altered this, still it was felt that the great controlling power remained in the hands of the Established Church. This the Nonconformists of the parish felt and justly felt to be a grievance. They knew that the very Act of Parliament under which the scheme was drawn had been wrested from the Legislature by the Liberal party despite the opposition of the Church, as had also that greater measure which opened our national seats of learning to the nation from being the schools of a denomination. Fidel- ity to this Act demanded from the Non- conformists of JKuabon every effort to obtain the full justice it intended them. Thii fidel- ity they exhibited and that with success- the Commissioners granting the modifica- tions in the scheme for which they applied. The scheme is now law and under its opera- tion the School Board nominated six mem- bers of the governing body this week. It is needless to add that in this number the Nonconformists are fairly represented, and the school is now no more a Church school than it is a Dissenter's school. One rather curious idea cropped up in the discussion, and that was Mr Thomson's approval of a dominant sect. But has the Church of Eng- land as by law established sunk down to the position of a dominant sect ? Dominant but not domineering, says Mr Thomson. But can that which is dominant exist without being domineering ? We pause for a reply, confident that where Mr Thomson shows the one element, Mr Llugwy Owen will be able to trace the other.

AT the Mayor of Wrexham's banquet, the Lord-Lieutenant, in alluding to the appoint- ment of county magistrates, stated that the principle of selection should be, in his opinion, strong common sense, independence of judgment, and independence of position. With this we are sure all will agree. But Major West went a step further, and said that he did not think the area of selection should be confined to the landed proprietors, but that commercial interests should also be represented on the county commission. More than this-he was prepared to recognise the claims and position of the commercial interests of the county, in accordance with the criteria already laid down. We feel sure that the commercial interests of this end of the county will hail with satisfaction this liberal and outspoken declaration of the Lord-Lieutenant, and that the recruits thus sent on to the bench will prove at least equal in intelligence and ability with those to whom the honour has hitherto been confined.

THE Mayor's Banquet on Friday was a great success in its social and convivial aspect. His worship's guests were both numerous and select; the speeches were up to the average of post prandial effusions, but the subjects touched did not embrace the full field of interest open to those present. Instead of being pleased with a rattle tickled with a straw, we ought on these occasions to hear some of the important questions affecting the town brought forward in a manner that would show we cared about something more than to flatter individuals or to hear individuals flatter us in return, and sit attentive tc their own applause. Two important bills affecting immensely the com- mercial interests of the town had passed standing orders on that day. On the occa- sion an expression of opinion in favor of those schemes might have had influence in quarters desirable to influence on this ques' tion, but not a word was said respecting them, or any other movement having for its object the commercial development of the town or district. There is room for reform even at Mayors' banquets.

WE lift out a sentence from the report o the Mold dinner for the special perusal of the electors of Penbighshire. It is from the speech of the Lord-Lieutenant, and friend and foe will do well to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest its portent. Major West said that "Denbighshire deserved well "of the Liberal party, for two out of the "three members belonged to the Liberal party (applause) -:and so long as the Conservatives were satisfied with that "share of the representation, he did not "think the existing state of things should be disturbed but if their opponents tried to "recover one of the two seats now occupied "by the Liberals, it would be then their "duty to WREST THE THIRD SEAT FROM Cc THEM. (Applause.)" The members of the county association for the propagation of constitutional ideas and misrepresenting facts make no secret of the fact that the backing up of the Hon. Mr Kenyon against the present borough member is their present especial vocation. Well, let them do it if they like, but they will now know that their knife cuts at both ends. That while it cuts into the enemy, it also wounds the sword- hand. Sir Watkin is the greatest power with this association. His yea is yea, and his nay nay, and he may fairly be held re- sponsible for the political positions they have taken up. And as one of those posi- tions is an offensive one, intended to disturb the present state of the representation, the retribution so tersely prophesied by Major West will fall inevitably and deservedly on his head. The utterance of the Lord- Lieutenant was received at Mold with loud cheers. It will be received with the same warmth in Denbighshire by the electors, if Sir Watkin intends to be the leading patron of the Constitutional Association and the Hon. George Kenyon.

PARLIAMENT is summoned to meet on Thursday next, when the ministerial pro- gramme for the ensuing session will be un- folded. We do not claim any special know- ledge of its contents, but the events of the last session, and the tenor of public discussion during the recess, cannot but afford us some clue, as to the measures likely to be brought forward by, Her Majestv's Ministers in the session about to be opened. Twelve months ago, it was a moot question whether the Ministry would outlive the six month's ardu- ous work which was before it. Several i elections had been decided against them, and the tone of public opinion as expressed by the leading London and Provincial papers, was anything but favorable. The Alabama difficulty oppressed the Ministry like a night mare, and the public confidence in their ability to carry the negotiations to a success- fnl issue were severely shaken. In Ireland, the Home Rule agitation was at its fiercest, election after election being carried by na- tionalist candidates, and to crown all, signs were not wanting that the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy deemed it expedient to join the movement rather than to lose their hold over the masses. The Tory organs pro- claimed loudly, and with some show of truth that the Irish policy of Mr Gladstone had turned out an utter failure, and the discon- tent was so general that it was rife even amang the ministerial supporters. But, as the session wore on, owing to the courage and energy of Mr Gladstone, and the unfailing tact of Lord Glanville, the atmosphere gradu- ally cleared. The Alabama difficulties were settled, and the Washington treaty saved the other Ministerial measures were pushed forward with unusual energy and success the Scotch Education, Licensing, and Ballot Bills became law; trade was exceptionally brisk all over the country, so that by the end of July, the Ministry seemed to be stronger than they have been at any time since the retirement of Mr Bright. The questions left more immediately to be grappled with in the recess were those of Local Taxation, and of Irish Education. And, if we may judge by the declaration of Mr Gladstone, in a speech which he delivered on one of the closing days of last session, the changes intended in the incidence of Local Taxation are of a sweeping character, and likely to enlist in their favor the sympathies of the more thorough section of the party. Less than this could not be expected by those who have read Mr Goschen's pamphlet on this question, on which he is we believe one of the greatest authorities in the Cabinet, and is likely to exercise a great influence in the framing of any measure dealing with the subject. We have no doubt but that Mr Gladstone will be able to carry this measure —which will be the principal one of the session—safely through the House of Com- mons. Bu t whether it can be safely steered through the House of Lords is another question, and we incline to believe that their lordships would like to make short work of it, though we think they will pass it with moditications, such as perhaps not to affect the principle of the measure—that is, if the conduct of it is not entrusted into the hands of Mr Forster. With regard to the question of Irish University Education it is more difficult to speak. There is no denying the fact that among the mass of his own sup- porters, the policy of Mr Gladstone on the subject is looked upon with suspicion. There are already signs that he doubts the fidelity of the party on the point, and it is better he should know at once that, rather than entrust the education of the Irish nation to the Ultramontane clergy, the country would dispense with his services. The Nonconformist members for England and Wales, backed by the members for Scot- land, and those belonging to the Education League, would vote against him to a man, if he introduced a bill having such a tendency. It is urged by Cardinal Cullen and his followers, that after granting the children of England and Scotland, religious education, the Legislature cannot consistently withhold it from those of Ireland. But the obvious answer to this is, that the Dissenters have always opposed entrusting the religious education of the children to the school- masters, while the Presbyterians of Scot- land, and the majority of the Episcopalians in England would unite with them in opposing the demands of the Romish clergy. The prospects of the Ministry do not seem to us to be at all bright on this question, and favorable as are at present the appearances, we should not be surprised to see it overthrown both in the matter of University and Ele- mentary Irish Education. With regard to the question of English Education, there is hardly a doubt but that Mr Forster will bring in a Bill to amend his Act of 1870. Whether he will "canter" over the religious difficulty as easily this time as he did last it is difficult to say. We doubt it. At the same time it is obvious that with the help of the Opposition he can pass his amendment, almost in any shape he likes. But that will not be a settlement of the difficulty, and the Nonconformists are not the people we take them to be, nor what in the history of this country they have shown themselves to be, if they rest satisfied with anything short of the settlement so admirably set forth in the letter of Mr Wat- kin Williams, read at the Mold banquet last week. Nothing short of separate religious and secular education, one to be found voluntary, and the other out of the rates, will be a settlement of the question, and the sooner Mr Forster recognises that fact, the better it will be for his own reputation, and for the safety of the Ministry of which he is a member. We take it that the above will be found to be the leading Ministerial measures of the session. But other questions of great in- terest will be discussed, such as the pressure of taxation, and the abolition of the Income and Malt Taxes. From the replies given by Mr Lowe to deputations which have waited upon him i especting those taxes, we do not suppose that the Government intend repeal- ing them this year, and we do not expect there will be much discussion thereon only when Mr Lowe introduces his Budget in April next. After the letter of Mr Bright respecting Land Tenure, the country fran- chise and the redistribution of seats, we do not expect that those questions will obtain more than a passing notice, perhaps a debate may be devoted to each, when some light will be thrown on them, and the constituen- cies will in a measure be guided in the choice of their future representatives. A night will also be devoted to the disestab- lishment question, under the auspices of Mr Miall, but nothing serious will be attempted in that line. It is probable that we shall have more than one debate in both Houses on our Foreign Relations. Lord Cairns is more likely than not to make a display of his own exalted patriotism by showing that his country has been humiliated before the nations of the earth by agreeing to pay an indemnity because it was afraid to fight, and others equally patriotic and enlightened are sure to follow suit. Our relations with Russia are also likely to be fruitful of debates, and we hope that the credit which the Government has already obtained for resolution and firmness on this point will be maintained. The Great Northern power must be told respectfully, yet distinctly, that this country cannot be indifferent to its encroachments in Central Asia, and Russia must give a distinct promise that the various nationalities, inhabiting that vast and moun- tainous region shall be no further disturbed. We think, that in the face of the policy which Russia has always laboured to carry out in the east, it is unfortunate that the Press of this country allowed its prejudices so much to override its judgment during the late war as justly to give offence to the Ger- man people, whom we believe to be our natural allies. The Germans have a sus- picion of Russian policy, and their co-opera- tion would be of infinitely greater value to us than any other European power in the event of a conflict between this country and Russia in the east. We feel pretty confident that we have given our readers a correct resume of the labours of the session, and as the various topics will be brought on for debate, we promise to discuss them fairly and dispas- sionately, while doing all in our power to uphold those principles of national liberty which have made our common country so prosperous, and ready to support the ?inist the fullest extent while they uphold and carry out those principles in legislation.
LONDON SAYINGS AND DOINGS.
LONDON SAYINGS AND DOINGS. (From our own Correspondent.) It s stated that the Queen is expected to leave Osborne about the 17th or 19Lh of next month, for Windsor. If this be the case it is of course equivalent to an announcement that Parliament will be opened by royal commission. We shall have a royal message instead of a Q teen's speech. How much the public would prefer the latter to the former I need not insist upon. The Circu- lars" of the Leaders of the two great political parties in Parliament issue unusually pressing requests to their followers to be in their places early. Mr Gladstone promises at a very early date" business of importance, and if public expec- tations are only half realized, in the first days of the Session we shall have some exciting oucoun- ters. Newspaper readers here seem to be sick of the infliction of what is called 11 Extra Parlia- mentary Utterance," and instead of such Brum- magem oratory are impatient for the ring of the true metal. The friends of Lord Selborne will be in force" to see the new Chancellor take his seat on the Woolsack, and mention of the Chan- cellor naturally makes one revert to his Lordship's predecessor. Conspicuous among the Benchers who dined on Grand night" in the splendid Hall at Lincoln's Inn, was the very snow-white head of the ex-Chancell«r.—Lard Hatherley was led to his place at the top of the table by an attendant, for I regret to say his Lordship's blindness has increased since he took that fatiguing journey from Westerfield House, Ipswich, to Balmoral, in order to surrender to the Queen the Great Seal of office, and I farther regret to say that at the time I am writing his Lordship is being operated upon for cataract in both eyes. A very large circle of personal friends await the result with anxiety. There is a very strong feeling abroad with regard to the Fund which is being raised for the survivors from the recent awful collision in the Channel, and that feeling is entitled to every con. sideration. To speak plainly, those of the bene- volent who are likewise imbued with a proper sense of the horribly awful natare of the accident are disinclined to compensate the just with the anjust-to give to deserving sufferers certainly, but not to the ruffians who in a large measure aggravated the suffering. Let there be no Peck- sniffian utterances on the subject. Some of the men who scrupled not in the moment of supreme peril to hamper the movements of Captain Knowles, should surely not be rewarded as if they had done some meritorious services. This week has seen the inauguration of a most important Postal service—nothing to do with St. Martin's-le-Grand—but affecting, nevertheless, the highest interests of the British Empire. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com- pany announce that the Director-General of the Post Office of India has authorised them to receive parcels for delivery at any post town or d strict throughout India at an uniform rate of Is. 4d per lb. or fraction of lib. weight. This charge covers the conveyance from London to the address in India, and such parcels may be prepaid or paid for on delivery. Surely our General Post Office authorities should take a leaf out of the book of the P. & O. If the Post Office cannot give us a Parcel Post, why not our Railway Companies ? The emigration of small farmers and of farm labourers from this country will, doubtless, tend to benefit the country at large, but still it cannot be looked upon wholly with satisfaction. On Lady-Day next a party of 100 single men and men leaving their wives and families behind them for the present, are to set sail for Yeovil, in the Red River Valley in the state of Minnesota, the party beiDg under the conduct of the Rev. G. Rodgers, of Yeovil, Somersetshire. At the Yeovil over there, a colony has been formed for the benefit of many small farmers in England who cannot get suitable holdings. This is rather a painful fact, and whenever the land qaestion comes to be discussed in Parliament, we may depend this fact will not be lost sight of. Nor is it pleasant to find that men are to emigrate leaving wives and families behind them. I presume pro- vision has been made for these otherwise helpless persons. Next Jane many hundreds of small farmers, laborers, and mechanics are to follow. I heartily wish the movement success, but still I keenly feel that this emigration ought not to be necessary. It is all very well for Captain Tyler, reporting to the Board of Trade, to make certain recom- mendations, whereas at present they appear to be simply recorded, and there is an end of the matter. The accident which cansed the death of Sir Donald M'Leod having been fully inquired into, the Captain recommends the Board to do this, that, and the other; but will they ever be done ? But really this is putting the question too leniently, for the fact is, that Captain Tyler merely recommends certain things modestly to the Board of Trade, and the Board has actuallv no power to do anything but recommend the rail- way directors to adopt the recommendatiop. I am glad to see that The Times has noticed in a leader what seems to me to have been an extra- ordinary dictum on the part of Baron Martin. A man having gone to receive a P. O. order for a small amount knowingly took a larger sum that the clerk tendered him by mistake. Thereupon the question arose whether this was stealing. The Attorney-General maintained that it was and asked, Suppose I gave a cabman a sovereign by mistake for a shilling, and the cabman took the s vereign, ccrtainly that would be stealing." 11 Cer- tainly not," said Mr Baron Martin I expect we shall have the cabmen acting upon this. The democratic and patriotic gentlemen who hive always a grievance on which they dilate in inflated language have made themselves supremely ridiculous in the Hyde Park affair. They have had a meeting "at the rooms of the Patriotic Club, Clerkenwell Green." Be it known that this grandiloquently earned Patriotic Club, Clerken- well Green," is a low-class coffee-house in a low neighbourhood, and that the place is enough to condemn any obj ect for which a meeting is there convened. This said club, however, have pomp- ously passed a resolution stating that the com- mittee cannot recognise the validity of the opi- nions expressed by the Judges of the Court of Qaeen's Bench, that Hyde Park was as much private property of the Crown as was the park of a private gentleman his property." For a little knot of working-men to meet in a dirty coffee- house and bombastically announce that they cannot recognise the validity of the highest commen-law court is about the coolest thing I have heard for a long time. Something will certainly be required to be done, of a different character to what has yet been done in connection with our annual series of inter- national exhibitions, if the third of the series, which is to be inaugurated in May next, is to become more popular and attractive than its prede- cessors. One thing that the Commissioners rely on is a display of cookery and oooking-I can find no better words. There are now under con- sideration certain proposals with reference to It practical and instructive illastratiea of popular cookiag." I shall be rather curious to see how these proposals are to be carried out. Will her majesty's Commissioners personally assume the white dress of the chef, and show how to make an omelette, or toss a pancake, or turn out a pretty kettle of fish. Food, drinks and their adulters- tions will eonstitate a leading feature of the spay, this year, and a very uncomfortable display it will probably be. The Adulteration Ac of last Session has notoriously failed-as might have been expected from its miserably weak and permissive character—and "what to eat, driuk and avoid," is as difficult a question as ever. Scraps of gossip concerning the pictures which will be sent to the forthcoming Royal Academy Exhibition are ever and anon coming to the surface. Mr Marks will send four works, one of which, in his early humorous manner bids fair to take its place as a picture of the year." Mr Fildes finding it impossible to finish his great pictu, a Houseless and Homeless" will be repre- sented by a smaller effort. Mr W. Holyoake will probably send a couple of those landscapes with figures which, quite worthy of Daubigny, are sure to attract considerable attention." London, Thursday.

Davies, and Mr Rogers. —Dr. Jones, Ruabon, reported a number of cases of typhoid fever at Cefn and Rhos, and stated that the total number of deaths in the parishes of Ruabon and Erbistock during the quarter ending Christmas, 1872, had been 99.—Dr Duvies, medical (officer, reported several cases of fever, aDd spoke of the necessity of a hospital for contagions diseases. He had visited 50 or 60 houses aud premises in Brymbo and Broughton, and not one of them coald be said to be in a proper sanitary condition. After referring to cases of overcrowding, Dr. Duvies Eaid said the only way effectually to dispose of the sewage was by having a sewer throngh Brymbo.— Mr Hugh Davies, inspector of nnialJce., iu:eJ that since his last report in December, Lie bad I inspected 660 houses inhabited by 3,0-12 persons. There were 102 bouses without privy accomoda- tions. and in 26 honses the bedroom* were over- crowded. Mr Davies likewise deposed tbt the necf fiity f(r I ropt r drainage in Brymbo was becom- ing more urgent every day, and the majority of the inhabitants were convinced that anything sh i: oi a sewer would not meet the wants of the neighbor- hood.—The usual notices were Ordered to be semi on the owners and occupiers of the places cas- plained of. PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.— The annual li'eraiy meeting usually held in connection with Hiil- street Chapel, it was resolved this year to sub- stitute by a entertainment which shonld hrip to increase the fund which has been ra sed for i building a school adjoining the chape!. The | concert, which was given on Monday evening, TAS of a sacred character, and it was intended to illas- trate Banyan's Pilgrim's Progress. It WAS inter- spersed with short readings (rendered V Mr Charles Hughes), the other part consistis2 of choral selections, which were given bv a choir, under the direction of Mr W. H. Williams, Mr W. M. Powell presiding at the harmonium. T? R?- 1 E. Jerman, in opening the proceedings sa;J '? ?? entertainment was of a devotional nature. H? trusted that in the concert there woold be fonod nothing inconsistent with man's highest ilterestgo, but rather that it would tend to advance them; and at the same time he hoped it wonld not be devoid of interest. Yet if it only awakened all .1 interest in Pilgrim's Progress, or iOllnce SCUle 01 their younger friends to read it, it would have served a high and noble purpose. The rev. ge- tleman then briefly sketched Banyan's lif"« bit mental agonies with respec to religion, and his im* | prisonment; after which he said there was only I one other work that could be compared to Ban- yan's masterpiece- Spenser's Faerie Qneene, Jj but although both were allegories, they were 1 different in character. In Faerie Queen-" there was something undefined, misty, nureal; 'Ot J| thing which even a breath would scatter; am I was very difficult to trace the purpose which the, author had in view. In Pilgrim's Progress every- thing was living and real, and the characters lived and breathed and what brought it home to every heart was the fact that it was an embodiment of Banyan's own religious experiences. Banyan was the pilgrim, and the description of his journey was to a large extent only the history of the wriier., On the whole the vocalists acquitted thems^Te9 creditably, although occasionally the harmony was not of the purest quality, two or three harsh, -n,-tY, alto voices, in a state of transition, greatly marring any sweet passages. The parts were, however) well balanced, and the time was pletty good. ThO best piece given was perhaps 0, Christians awake," which was rendered with considerably vigour and power and the worst, Go and teu Jesus," the latter hymn being spoiled by a s««°" of the altos singing Nat. There was 5 large1 audience, and the entertainment seemed to g'? every satisfaetion.
