The Times, speaking of the recommendation of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners to suppress the Welsh
diocese of St. Asaph, says :--" We have been assured
by benificed clergymen of the diocese of St. Asaph,
that if anything at all is to be done in the pre-
sent condition of the diocese towards restor-
ing, throughout the people, the true principles and
practice of the Church,—or, in the words of the Com-
missioners, towards promoting her efficiency, —it
must and can be done only by the Bishops. The
Welch poor, and among them even the most violent
Dissenters, entertain less prejudice against the office
and intervention o f'a Bishop, as being a scriptural office,
than they do against any other point of Church prac •
tice ; and when we see what has been eTected, and in'
how short a time, by the ability, the diligence, and
the zeal of Bishop Thirwall, we can well believe
that the episcopal office, in every point of view and
in every place important, is in Wales the great instru-
ment by which the efficiency of the Church is to be
promoted and restored—the last a-.‘,1 sole support of
truth and unity."

We quote the following from the Chronicle :
" Heartily do we wish that we could induce our fel-
low-subjects of every grade, condition, and distinc-
tion in politics to drop for a brief space their party
views and party predilections, and to look with a
single eye' on that now really appalling question—
the condition of the country. For assuredly the con-
dition of the country is peculiar : it is more, it is
really alarming. The harvest is past, the summer
is ended, and we are not saved.' rhe new Corn-law
has done its worst, as well as its best, for this season.
The new tariff is at work, doing more damage to
minor tradesmen than good to the great bulk of the
consumers, the cause of which is its main and mani-
fest omissions. The importers of foreign cattle are
not gaining what our home graziers are losing. And
though wheat has fallen so greatly in price, bread has
not yet so diminished in price as to prove a general
boon to tha community. Trade is paralysed, yet
money is abundant. There is little speculation, yet
the means of forcing speculation are said to be a
drug in the market.'"

The Post says :—" The address which has just been
Lublished from the Magistrates of Tipperary to their
ord Lieutenant proves the gratifying fact that one
year of firm Conservative Government—of a Govern-
ment whose object was not to conciliate a faction, but
to administer the law to a nation—has effected what
ten years of timid Whiggery, with all its flattery of
the worst propensities of the rabble, all its tacit con-
nivance at treasonable projects, all its misapplication
of patronage, and its general gaol deliveries could not
accomplish, namely, the tranquillization of that county
whose turbulence has been until now a standing re-
proach to the inefficiency of the law, and a corroding
ulcer in the side of the sister country." "
