WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT AND REGISTRATION.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—The answer to your question, " How will the Welsh like Registration being the first charge on the next Session ? " is to be found in the speech of Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P., at the great Welsh Disestablishment meeting on Monday last at Portsmouth. Mr. Thomas (who is Whip of the Welsh party), in his chairman's address, said " they were willing to give way to Registration. Let it be Registration first, Welsh disestab- lishment second, and then the disestablishment of another anachronism, the House of Lords." I fancy that on this point the hopes entertained by the Opposition of a schism in the ranks of the majority, are doomed to disappointment, as such hopes have been doomed before.—I am, Sir, &c., 9 Cheniston Gardens, W., Feb. 17th. ALICE KEA.RNEY.
