HAVERFORDWEST TOWN I COUNCIL. A meeting of the members of this body was held in the Council Chamber on Friday even- ing. The were present:—W. Farrow, Esq. (Mayor), Mr J. Thomas, Mr J. Phillips, Mr W. P. Ormond, Mr T. James, Mr S. Thomas, Mr W. Williams, Mr R. T. P. Williams, Mr Jno. James, Mr M. White, Mr Baker, and Mr Rowlands. The Clerk read the minutes of the last meet- ing. GAS ACCOUNTS. The Clerk said that a meeting of the commit- tee had been held that morning, when the finaiinial statement was produced. The balance from last month was £896 Is 9d, cheques issued and paid last month JE607 10s Id, making a total of JE1102 11s lOd. There had been received on account of general district rate, private lights, tar, and gas rate a total of £664 10s, leaving a balance against the Rural Authority of JE438 Is lOd. Mr S. Thorras We really owe jE438 Is lOd to the Bank. Clerk The amount of claims sent in is £ 915 9s Id. The committee have recommended the payment of several items amounting to JE259 os 5d. Mr Thomas made a calculation as to the moneys which would come in. Mr J. Thomas: From what Mr Perkins told me, we should receive JE60. On the motion of Mr Baker, seconded by Mr Rowlands, the report was adopted. BETHANY QUARRY. The Clerk read the minute referring to his report on Bethany Quarry, which had been re- ferred to a committee. Mr J. Thomas It is not necessary to go on with, that matter now. We have not reported upon it, but will do so at our next meeting. After we go out t6 see the place Bethany, we will make our report. Clerk I may mention this, by way of an ap- pendix to my report, that I have found this minute. This is in answer to Mr Williams. I find in the minutes under date 11th March, 1868, the following-The Surveyor having re- ported- Mr R. Williams We found that order last night. Mr J. Thomas We have thoroughly gone into it. Mr White And there is a subsequent order to that, Mr Town Clerk, relating to the letting to Waters. Clerk You found that before ? Mr Ormond The letting to Waters of a part of the land. Clerk You referred to that ? MT J. Thomas Yes. THE STANDING ORDERS. Clerk Is there any order to be made with regard to the standing orders ? (Laughter.) Are they to stand over again ? Mr S. Thomas We decided to leave them alone at the last meeting. Clerk Only until noT. Mr S. Thomas Don't you remember that we decided that they should stand over ? Mr R. Williams Only until to-day. Mr W. Williams There was no mention made of to-day. Clerk Until a future meeting. Mr W. Williams Those words were never used here. Clerk They are on the book. Mr W. Williams That may be but they were never used at any Council meeting. Clerk: I should be particularly obliged to you, gentlemen, if you would put your words in writing. Mr 8. Thomas We were all but unanimous there was only one against it. Mr J. Phillips Against what ? Mr Thomas That they should stand over. Clerk May I pass them by then? Mr J. Phillips We ought to consider them. Mr W. Williams You cannot do better than let them stand over. Mr. J. Phillips Is there anything more im- portant to come on ? Clerk I only want to know if it is your wish to pass them by. I will pass them by then. THE GAS BONDS. The Clerk On the agenda you will find that at this meeting you are asked to make a rate for gas purposes in order to pay the two instal- ments that are due upon the sinking fund amounting to £ 10,000. The rate proposed to be made is at 4d in the f, and it is now sub- mitted to you in the usual form. It is provided for by the Provisional Order, and is made on the gas area. The Council ordered the seal *to be attached to the rate. THE MARKET. A letter was read from Charles Morse, apply- ing for the cleaning of the Market for the three months during which it would be used by the Royal Pembroke Artillerv Militia. The Council declined to entettain the appli- cation. A letter was read from Mrs Morse asking for I an increase of salary on account of the increase of work in the cleaning of the Markets. In the course of conversation, it was stated that'"the amount paid per annum to Mrs Morse was £ l6 10s. It was unanimously resolved to increase the salary to £ 18. salary to SIS. Mr J. Thomas said that when in the Market, he observed that parts of it were in a disgrace- ltd state. He understood that an order was made that the legs of the tables should bo scraped and cleaned. He thought the work should be done, and the legs painted. He also suggested that the new stalls should have another coat of paint. Mr W. Williams seconded Mr Thomas's mo- tion, which was carried. It was also resolved to invite tenders for the performance of the work. The Council instructed the Surveyor to erect two new lamps in the Meat Market. THE DRAINAGE. The Clerk said he had written to Mr Cousins, the engineer, in consequence of the letter from the Local Government Board, en- quiring what progress had been made with the plans for the drainage of the town. He had received a reply from Mr Cousins, stating that there had been no delay in the preparation of the necessary plans forthe drainage of the town, and he hoped in the course of three weeks to have them so far advanced as to enable the Corpora- tion to apply to the Local Government Board for their sanction to borrow the necessary mone y for carrying out the works. Mayor That is not in answer to the letter sent off by Mr Gibbon. Surveyor There has been no reply.' THE HOUSE PROPERTY. The Surveyor reported that repairs were re- quired to houses in Shipman's Lane. Mr T. James There was a committee ap- pointed to make a report on our property. I should like to hear their report. Mr S. Thomas That report, from what I hear, is not in favour of selling the property. If they recommended it, some time must elapse, because we should be obliged to go to the Lords of the Treasury for their sanction, and we must keep the houses in repair. ¡ Mr R. Williams Mr White, myself, the Treasurer and Town Clerk went through the books with a view to ascertain whether there was any property which could be disposed of with advantage to the Council. The conclusion we came to was that the property we possessed, not under lease, was not worth offering for sale. The Town Clerk scheduled the different pro- perties not under lease, and if you look through it, you will find that with the exception of Mr Munt's house, it consists of small cottages and old stores. We make a small profit out of them. Mr Ormond Have you thought of bow the property would pay if let out on building sites ? Mr R. Williams We did not consider that. Clerk There is a good deal of the property mortgaged, and before you could sell, you must clear off the mortgage. The matter was again referred to the com- mittee, to which Mr Jno. James-was added. LEGAl. ASSISTANCE. Mr J. Thomas I have one matter to men- t tion to the meeting. You are aware that a case came on at the Petty Sessions in reference to the water question, and Mr Vaughan James suggested that the Council should employ a legal man to represent the Council. The case will come on at another petty sessions, and I • aii] I would mention Mr James's suggestion to the Council. Mr T. J;tUK?s Our Town Clerk is our legal adviser. Clelk I attended, and I think we have proved the case on behalf of the Water Com- misssiouers, and there it remains. I see myself no difficulty in the question if the Corpora- tion choose to employ any person they can of course do so. Mr J. Thomas I don't want to throw away our money. Mayor Wo went fully into the matter the question was whether notice was given to Mr George, the defendant, to put in the water; aud that notice was produced. That I considered to be the whole sum and substance of the matter. If Mr Williams intends to open open the thing again, and to bring in half a dozen things, I think we should have notice in order to know how many things he is going to bring on. Mr S. Thomas I don't quite understand the question. I am afraid we are going into magis- terial duties here, which we have no right to do We have no right to sit in judgment on a case that is not yet decided. The question, as I un- derstani it, is whether we are to be represented by a legal gentleman with the Town Clerk when the case is heard. Mr J. Thomas: That is the question for the case is not over. Mr S. Thomas It is only adjourned, and even supposing, Mr Mayor, it is quite clear to our minds, your brother magistrates may not have the same view of it. Mr J. Thomas We did not sit on the case. Cleik The case has been heard on the part of the complainant and proved. It remains for the defendant to break the case down if he can. I don't see how he possibly can do it. I don't think any argument is required. At all events if any law is required, it will be for the magis- trates' clerk to advise the Bench as to the law on the matter. Mr J. Thomas: I suggest that the Council should leave the matter in the hands of a com- mittee to deal with, and the committee should have power, if necessary, to employ a legal man to represent the Council. The suggestion of Mr Thomas was adopted and Mr Ormond, Mr J. Thomas, and Mr S. Thomas were appointed the committee. Mayor I suppose that is formidable enough for Mr Williams. (Laughter.) I feel sure that Mr Williams with his noble mind will not go against himself-against this Board. (Laugh- ter). Mr S. Thomas: Which is himself ?-Mr Williams must look after the interests of his client. Mr R. Williams: I shall certainly do my best to win the case. Mr J. Thomas Whether employed by the Council or anybody else. Mr R. Williams Certainly. THE STANDING ORDERS. Mr J. Phillips: What are we to do in refer- ence to the standing oiders: they were left un- til the conclusion of the other business. Mr R. Williams: We have disposed of them. Mr J. Thomas Let them lie on the table un- til we call a special meeting. Mr S. Thomas: Will you put it the other way-let them lie on the table until they are called for. Clerk Don't go away, gentlemen, without telling me what I am to do in the matter. What entry am I to make on the book ? Members go away without telling me what I am to do, and then confusion arises at the next meet- ing. Mr J. Phillips I think something ought to be done with them. 0 Mr J. Thomas Will you move that a special meeting be called to consider them. Mr Ormond We could take them at an ad- journed meeting without having a special meet- ing on the subject. The matter was then deferred until the next meeting. THE MILFORD DOCK COMPANY. In the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, on Monday, (before Mr Justice Chitty), the case of Mowatt v. The Milford Dock Company stood on the paper. It was a demurrer of Mr E. R. Spearman, defendant, to the plaintiffs statement of claim. Exception was taken to the claim on the ground that in law its execution was bad. The defendant was unrepresented, and the case was struck out. Mr Romer, Q.C., and Mr Latham were retained for the plaintiff. In the High Court of Justice, Chancery Di- vision, on Saturday (before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Bacon), it was stated on behalf of the company that an agreement had been come to by the parties that the two petitions now to be heard in respect of this company should stand over, on the ground that a Bill had been pre- pared and submitted to the Board of Trade, placing Dock Companies on the same footing with regard to the winding-up as Railway Companies, and providing the liquidation by arrangement under the Companies' Acts, and also on the ground that a special Bill was before Parliament dealing with the affairs of this company. If this arrangement was sanc- tioned by the Court the only question would be when the case should be heard.—The Vice- Chancellor directed the petition to stand till the 21st of June, in order to give time for ascertaining what the action of Parliament was likely to be. The decision arrived at by Sir Robert Carden, at the Mansion House on Feb. 14th, in refer- ence to the charge against Captain Hood, the secretary of the Milford Docks Company, for having fraudulently issued a large amount of debenture stock, raises a very important ques- tion, well deserving the immediate attention of Parliament. The company by the Parliamen- tary Powers of 1874 and 1S75, were authorised to issue in the aggregate share capital to the amount of £ 400,000. They were further au- thorised to exercise borrowing powers to the amount of £ 133,000 on the whole share capital having been subscribed, and one half of the same being bona fide paid up. Whether the whole of the share capital was subscribed and one half bona fide paid up appears doubtful, but there is no question as to the company having issued debenture stock to the full amount of £ 133,000. The Milford Dock Act of 1875 required that before the issue of the debenture stock a magis- trate's certificate should be obtained, founded on the affidavit of one of the directors that the requirement of the Act had beea complied with. Such certificate was issued by one of the magistrates for Pembrokeshire, and dated Oct. 1, 1875. In addition to this issue (author- ised by the act) Captain Hood, the secretary appears to have issued on his own confession an additional amount of debenture stock of about JE97,000, which in the main has been deposited as collateral security, for acceptances given by the company. Mr Arthur Cooper, the account- ant, aalled in to examine the books, stated in I his evidence, that the amounts raised by way of loan were duly accounted for in the books of the company. On this statement of the case Sir R. W. Carden discharged the defendant, on the ground that there was no intention to de- fraud. Mr George Lewis, who appeared for Captain Hood, laid great stress upon the fact that no one complained of being defrauded ex- cept the prosecutor, Mr Lake, but this may be accounted for from the fact that a small joint bank in the North of England, with a paid up capital of £ 45,000, is the holder of £ 25,000 of e these debentures; a private Londoi banker the holder of £8,500, and the solicitor of' one of the oldest land companies in London to the extent of £ 40,000. Another interesting fact in the history of this company is that by the original prospectus dated 7th July, 1874, Sir Robert W. Carden was a trustee of a fund arranged to be provided so as to pay 6 per cent to the share- holders during the construction of the Docks. Sir R. W. Carden and Co. were also the brokers of the company, appointed to receive applica- tions for the shares, and E. J. Reed, Esq., C.B. M.P., late Constructor to Her Majesty's Navy, was described as the chairman, and Captain Hood as secretary. The two latter gentlemen still retain their original offices, and Sir E. F. Reed was honoured by Sir Robert W. Carden with a seat on the bench during the hearing of the case.—' The Railway News.' SIR,—I am a shareholder in this company, and I read the leading article in your paper last week with mingled feelings of admiration for the boldness in which you had exposed this great public scandal on the one hand, and regret for the manifest loss of my money on the other. The public owe to you a deep debt of grati- tude for having had the courage to bring prominently before them one of the most scan- dalous violations of the intentions of Parlia- ment with regard to the borrowing powers of public companies. Sir E. J. Reed, the late constructor of Her Majesty's Navy-a gentleman supposed to be intimately connected with everything associated with marine affairs, and Sir R. W. Carden, a stock and share broker, and Ex-Lord Mayor of London, both members of the House of Commons, appear to have assisted the pro- motion of this undertaking, by which a sum ex seeding half a million of money has been extracted from the pockets of the British public, and the company is now in a perfect deluge of litigation and chaos. The secretary, on his own confession, appears to have had the unlimited use of the common seal of the company, and has exercised it to the extent of £ 97,000 in violation of the re- striction imposed by Parliament. In the initiatory proceedings instituted against the secretary for this illegal proceeding by parties holding some of these bonus, Sir It. W. Carden sat in judgment, accompanied by Sir E. J. t Reed on the bench, and declared that the ) secretary was absolved from all criminal re- sponsibility. { No greater financial scandal in my opinion ( ever emanated trom the seat of justice in the i City of London-I am, Sir, your obedient ser- ] vant, j THE HoLDER OF £2,000 ORIGINAL SHARES. j -Bullionist. j MILFORD DOCKS COMPANY. SIR,—I have read the letter of Messrs. Newman, Stretton, and Hilliard in your issue of the 9th favourable to above company. Particularly the last sentences would imply that they were beinp- made martyrs by their creditors, and if what they choose to call fruitless litigation was stayed to allow them to finish the docks it would be desirable in the in- terest of all parties. In justice to myself, a large ) creditor, and the petitioner in the case recently 'I before the Court, I hope you will give me equal facilities to show how cruelly the directors have dealt with me. In 1876 I was a resident in Milford, and the owner of a dock and shipyard within the limits of the Milford Dock Act. In that year I re- ceived notice to treat, and the company under their powers took possession of my premises From that time up to the present I have never had a penny in payment My property and capital has thus lain useless for seven years, depriving me of a living, and for want of capital preventing me from carrying on a similar business. It has cost £ 150 a year ground-rent, and JE800 in other outgoings. I have been put off from time to time with delusive state- ments to keep me going to an arbitration under the Lands Clauses Act, which after considerable fencing was forced on the company, and came to an issue January, 1882. I had afterwards to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel them to take up award. I have paid £1,600 in law costs through their persistence and opposition. I was awarded, £6,000 tor fee-simple of property, the costs of all outgoings, interest from 1876 to be dealt with in the usual course making our claim, with costs, -610,800 odd. No attempt has been made to satisfy our claim except at a personal interview with the secretary and Sir E. J. Reed last September. I was faithfully promised that they would pay me £500 in a few days, and although a promise often repeated since, never to this day have I seen a penny The company opposed my petition, and I was de- feated on a point of law. By a strange anomaly the law is, a signed conveyance of the property should have been delivered whether paid for or not. I had not done so, and my petition was dismissed the judge sympathising with us, and only allowing the costs as relating to that point. The abstract of title has been lodged with their solicitor for four months, and repeated applications made for payment. No objection had been made to the title until we came into court, when advantage was taken of the con- veyance not having been handed over to the com- pany. I leave the public, and those who have in- vested their money in the docks, to ruminate over this piece of injustice perpetrated on us by taking our property and keeping it seven years, and not even paying the ground-rent, which in honour and legally they should have met. In our suit Captain Hood makes affidavit that £ 6-37,000 has been raised and I spent, and it is given in evidence in the charge against the secretary that Messrs Appleby and Lake have been paid £ 336,560 for the construction of docks, thus leaving £ 300,000 to be accounted for. Surely the creditors have a right to complain that out of this large sum no consideration has been given them. The company cannot expect their creditors to rest content on the bare assurance of a lawyer's letter in your issue that all will be well in eight or nine months. It is easy to imagine the injury and self-denial imposed on the property-owners at Milford by this company. I may state I offered to accept £2,000 towards our award, and let the balance re- main on the usual security until in a position to pay. No notice is taken by directors or the solicitors re- .presenting the share and debenture holders. I hope I there are yet some honourable men left amongst the vast interests representing Milford Docks, and that when they know the true facts they will make an earnest endeavour to do us a simple act of justice, and remove the stigma from the company of having taken our property without paying for it. -Apologis- ing for occupying so much of your valuable space, yours faithfully,' J. G. LISTER. Sunderland, Feb. 10. -Daily Chronicle. THE STATE OF IRELAND. Mr Curran, Q.C., the Police Magistrate, on Saturday, opened another inquiry at Dublin Castle, to privately hear evidence corroborative of that given by informers at the last investiga- tion in Kilmainham Court-house. A carman, named Hanlon, and two or three other persons were examined as to the movements, from June to December last, of the twenty-one Prisoners who are now awaiting their trial for conspiracy to murder, and many who are supposed to be able to give evidence of a similar character have been summoned to attend. The men in Kilmainham prison charged with conspiracy to murder continue in good health, with the exception of Patrick Delaney, who was charged with attempting to murder Judge Lawson. They are kept in solitary confine- ment, with the exception of two hours oyer) day, when they are marched round a yard, at a certain distance from each other, and oven when one of them is allowed to see his legal ad- ( viser a large table separates them, and a warder is present at the interview. Ample precautions are being taken to prevent the Prisoners escap- ing. Besides the armed police the gaol is guarded both by day and night by soldiers of the Guards. The search in the canal basin for the weapons used in the attempted assassination of Mr Field has been discontinued, as the authorities believe the informer Kavanagh made a mistake as to the place into which he threw them. One of the officers of a Dublin workhouse, after reading the Kilmainham revelations, thought he was included in the Government officials whom the Invincifeles were sworn to assassinate, and has fled from the country. A parcel containing six ounces of dynamite, with fuse attached, addressed to Earl Spencer, has been dropped into the Ballydehop Post- office. The package was posted during Thurs- day night, and was discovered by the post- master on Friday morning. The address was written in a large hand-" On her Masjesty's Service. To the Right Hon. Earl Spencer, Dub- lin Castle." The parcel bore no postage slamp, and to this omission the postmaster probably owes his life, as, had it been stamped, he would certainly have impressed the official die in the usual way, and the stroke must have caused an explosion. Seeing that it was not properly franked the postmaster took it into the kitchen, and then into the garden, where he examined the contents. In the centre of the package was a portion of a fuse with a percus- sion cap on the top. Dynamite was placed to support the central fuse, and a further coil of fuse was bound round the dynamite, the outer covering being of calico, on which the label bearing the address was pasted. The post- master, recognising the nature of the contents of the parcel, communicated with the police im- mediately, but there is very little likelihood of tracking the culprit, as, before he was aware of what the package consisted, the postmaster destroyed the label and outer covering by throwing them into the fire. The Press Acsociation Skibbereen corres- pondent reports that the excitement and curiosity produced by the Ballydebob dynamite episode continues unabated. The police authorities express the opinion that the dyna- mite came from Durras, some twelve miles dis- tant, where they have reason to think a quan- tity is secreted. Durras has been in a most lawless condition since the commencement of agrarian agitation. The report of an attempt to forwaad a packet of d) namite to the Lord Lieutenant from Bally- dehob is not regarded in Dublin in any serious light. The futility of attempting to injure the Lord-Lieutenant by any such means is at once demonstrated by the fact vthat all communica- tiors to his Excellency are received and opened by his private secretary, Mr. Courtenay Boyle, who would have been the sufferer if the dia- bolically-concocted plot had succeeded. On in- quiry at the Castle on Monday Mr Boyle stated that no official account of the affair had been received there, and that instructions had been telegraphed to the police at Bally-dehob to make all necessary investigations. A private inquiry at Dublin Castle (before Mr A. Curran, Q.C.,) was continued- on Monday, .when several fresh witnesses were examined. The rumours that were current a week 01 two since that two members of Parliament were in- volved,in the conspiracy to murder prosecutions is revived again in the shape of a positive state- ment that two Irish members were connected with a provincial organisation, which it is the object of the present inquiry to trace to their origin. Since the prisoners were committed for trial the authorities in Dublin have not been idle. The Crown lawyers are busily engaged prepar- ing for the trial, and they are confident that they will bring the charges, home to all the prisoners. Within the last week additional important evidence has been procured. It is rumoured that at the close of the Phoenix Park murder trial a charge of a serious nature will be brought against Councillor Carey, the approver for which he will be put upon his trial. More surprises are no doubt in store: and in one quarter it is stated that the police actually know the whereabouts of "No. I," and that he will be arrested at the proper time. The police are pursuing inquiries in Glasgow and other towns in Scotland where branches of the secret society esist. It is well known that the 4 luvijicibles, ire there in strong force, and they are credited 11 vith the recent dynamite outrages in Glasgow. | At Newry on Monday two men,-named Peter I md John Nally, were brought before the resi- I t lent magistrate charged with having stabbed ] .n the neck in two places a man named 1 M'Givern. The injured man was found on ( Sunday night lying in the street and he is now in a very critical condition. The accused were < remanded. ( Edward Downey was sentenced by the Newry magistrates on Monday to one month's < imprisonment, for having proclaimed himself the best Fenian in Ireland, and for having as- saulted the police. There is no truth whatever (a Dublin corres- pondent telegraphs) in the report that Mr Jus- I tice Lawson has been so upset by the details of the plot to assassinate him that he is unable to go on circuit. His lordship is at present on the Continent, and letters received from him say that he is in excellent health and spirits. PARIS, Feb. 26.-T11e movements of Mr Frank Byrne and other prominent Irishmen in this city are carefully watched by both English and French detectives, and special observation is kept upon the restaurants and other places of public resort where Irishmen are in the habit of gathering. The detective force doing duty at the Northern and St Lazare Stations has been doubled within the last few days. A serious affray took place on Sunday even- ing between the Maamtrasna Crown witnesses and a party of men who were drinking in Boyle's public-house, in Churchfield. The three Joyces, the principal witnesses, accompanied by five of the Irish constabulary to -protect them, went into the house for refreshments. A number of men were drinking. A quarrel ensued, and the police, in endeavouring to pro- tect the Joyces, were overpowered and deprived of their side-arms, which were freely used on the Joyces. Anthony Joyce was badly wounded, others received thrusts, and both parties were severely beaten. A desperate attempt has been made to-mur- der another of Lord Ardilaun's bailiffs within a short distance of the scene of the murder of the two Huddys. It appears that on Sunday the bailiff, Flynn, who was in charge of a farm of Lord Ardilaun's, was spending the day at the village of Cornamona. He left there for home about four o'clock, and when a short distance from Cornamona, he was joined on the road by a man whom Flynn asserts he does not know. They walked along together until they arrivnd at a turn of the road which interrupts the view of the village of Cornamona, when a man sud- denly jumped over the wall and made a desper- ate attempt to murder Flynn. Both men joined in the attack, and left Flynn when it was supposed he was dead. No arrests have been made, and Flynn is not expected to re- cover. WESTUEATII COUNTY. -Mr Timothy Har- rington was on Saturday elected, without op- position to represent the county of Westmeath, in room of Mr H. J. Gill, resigned. To show the anxiety of the farmers and others to sup- port Mr Harrington, three additional nomina- tion papers were filled, each signed by eight electors. After the election Father Kelsh ad- dressed a meeting from the window of Mr Har- rington's Committee rooms.—Mr Harrington, who thus succeeds to the seat resigned by Mr H. J. Gill, is a son of Mr Dennis Harrington. He was born in 1851, and was educated at Castletown, and is a journalist. Mr Harring- ton, with Messrs T. M. Healy and Thomas Brennan, the honorary secretary of the Irish National League, is at present undergoing two months' imprisonment in Mullin gar Gaol for an inflammatory speech delivered last month. The spirit in which Mr Harrington is returned may be judged by the last letter which he wrote be- fore his incarceration. It is addressed to the Rev Richard Joseph Kelsh, his proposer on Saturday, and is as follows:My dear Father Kelsh,-I intended to go down to you to-morrow (Feb. 17) to consult with you, but when politicans in Ireland propose, Spencer dis- poses of them. I am just now arrested; and go down to Mullingar Gaol this evening. I will ask you formally before going (although I know, indeed, there is very little need of doing so) to propose me at the election. Good bye. God prosper the cause." Mr Harrington is the seventy-fourth new member returned to the House of Commons since the General Election, but his return makes no difference in the balance of political parties. I THE KILMAINHAM TREATY. The refusal of the Government to allow Sir Stafford Northcote a day for his Motion on the Kilmainham Negotiations need surprise no one, after what has lately come to light. Ministers, no doubt, have shown the prudence which ex- cels valour. Recent disclosures have had the effect of shaking public confidence; further re- velations might possibly have destroyed it al- together. No" onder, therefore, that they pre- fer even the embarrassment of their present position to the danger in which they might have been placed by the Report of a Select Committee There have been Governments which would not have made the same choice the members of which, if accused of trafficking, directly or in- directly, with a'treasonable and murderous As- sociation, would have courted the fullest inves- tigation, even at the utmost risk, rather than run awav from an inquiry which they had de- fied an adversary to throw down. Both friends and foes will probably join with us in regretting that it should have fallen to the lot of Lord Hartington to act the part of Bob Acres. But 'I taking the Ministry as a whole, the result is what was to be expected. The personal friends of the Secretary State for War must have felt I for him on Tuesday afterncon when he rose to tell Sir Stafford Northcote that the challenge which he himself had invited could not now be accepted, and that Sir Stafford had quite mis- understood him if he supposed that he had ever meant to find fault with the conduct of the Op- position. What were his words last Thursday ? We repeat them in full. The charges brought against the Government in connection with the Kilmainham compact were, he said, both 'vague and passionate,' and he added, not- withstanding our repeated challenges, notwith- standing almost our entreaties, they have not from that time till now formulated anything iu the nature of a direct impeachment of our Po- licy.' Yet now he declares that he never twit- ted the Opposition with their failure to put the Government on its trial, and never intended to reflect on the part which they had acted in the controversy. Lord Hartington must know his own intentions best, and we will say no more under that head. But it is a little perplexino- C, to have to deal with an opponent in the House of Commons who uses words in their non-na- tural sense, and who extricates himself from an embarrassing position by disclaiming the inter- pretation which we will undertake to say not one of the many thousands who read them in the newspapers the next morning would have hesitated to place upon them. It appears to ordinary men that last Thursday evening Lord C, Hartington threw out a distinct challenge to the Opposition that Sir Stafford Northcote, having the perfect right to choose his own time, accepted it; and that now when lie proposes the very Motion which Lord Hartington had dared him to introduce, the Secretary for War backs out of his position, and declares that his words meant nothing.—1 Standard.' THE SMALL WOOD MURDERS. Patrick Carey, alias Jack White, who has been wanted by the Cheshire police for the murder of Thomas Earlam, lodging-house keeper, at Smallwood, and his housekeeper, Mary Moran, was on Saturday arrested in a house in Charter-street, a low part of Manches- ter, by Detective-Sergeant Jackson. Jack, v ho was in bed when arrested, arrived in Man- chester on the evening of the 11th inst., 48 hours after the committal of the murder, and has since then been living in the same house in which be was captured. He has never been seen out of the house except under cover of darkness, and during one of these nocturnal perambulations lie purchased a newoutfit. The suit of clothes he was wearing at the time of the murder has been found upon the premises of a Manchester marine-store dealer, to whom it had been sold. The prisoner was identified by Sergt. Oldham, of Sandbatch, and a man named Slack, who was lodging with Earlam at the time of the murder. The Cheshire police have taken another lodger named Shannon and a man named Austin to Manchester for the purpose of further identification. The stolen suit of clothes has not yet been recovered. The prisoner during his residence in Manchester has been cohabiting with a woman of ill-fame, and she also is undo1- arrest, On the 12th inst., a deposit receipt in the name of Moran was pre- sented for payment at the King-street branch of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank- ing; Company by a disreputable-looking man and woman. They were referred to the head office of the bank, but it was ascertained that they never went there, and these circumstances prompted the police at Manchester to additional vigilance, it being previously suspected that the man was hidden somewhere in the neigh- bourhood.

CENTRAL WALES AND CARMARTHEN JUNCTION RAILWAY. The half-yearlylordinary meeting of tlie pro- prietors of this company was held on Thursday week at their offices. No. 1, Draper's Gardens, Throgmorton-street, Loudon Mr A. Cromwell White, in the absence of the chairman, presid- ing. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, called heir attentiont to the paragraph in the report dealing with the question of through rates, which is of vital importance to this company. The directors had proposed through rates for seven principal towns in the North and Centre of England viz., Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, Birmingham Leeds, Wolverhampton, and Burton-on what they considered a most equitable basis to the interests of all the railway companies but the Great Western having refused to accede to these, or any other through rates, the board had no alternative but to apply to the Railway Commissioners, who heard the application on the 16th inst., and were now considering their decision, which the board hoped might be in the company's favour. (Hear, hear.) The the company's favour. (Hear, hear.) The directors trusted that the Great Western would not force them to apply to the Railway Com- missioners again and again for through rates, but that a fair and equitable system of through rates would be arranged to and from all stations to which the company's line formed the nearest route, and that the Great Western would enter into such arrangements as would enable the company at last to receive that traffic which it was constructed to convey. The directors re- gretted the delay which had taken place in the completion of the Milford Docks, as they had always felt that the opening of these docks would attract such a large stream of traffic as would compel the large companies having con- nection with the Midland district to use this company's line as the only direct line to and from that district, and in view of the constant obstruction of the Great Western Railway Company they had deemed it right to apply to Parliament for such running powers as would enable them, in conjunction with other com- panies, to give the public the benefit of the shorter route and the cheaper rate, whiht at there same time adding largely to the company's revenue. As would be seen by the accounts, the had been an increase in the receipts for passengers, but there was a decrease on goods, &c. and that, together with the expense of litigation, had reduced the revenue to an ex- tent to cause the dividend to be not so favour- able as they could wish it. The following is the report of th'j Directors The Directors beg to submit the annexed Statement of Accounts to 31st. December, 1882. The net Revenue shows a balance sufficient to pay a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent, per annum on the First Preference Stock in the Company, carrying £ 236 Os. 7d. forward to the next half-year. A reso- lution will be proposed to declare such dividend, and the warrants will be issued on and payable after the 31st March next. The Board are glad to be able to congratulate the I Shareholders on their success in upholding the right of the Company to through rates, which was contes- ted by the Great Western Railway Company in their appeal to the Queen's Bench Division from the de- cision of the Railway Commissioners, granting the Company a rate for flour between Chester and Haver- fordwest. The Great Western Railway Company contending that the Companies owing their terminal stations were alone entitled to apply for through rates. Mr Justice Field, in delivering the unanimous judgment of that Court, added that they could "see no reason for supposing that so great a restriction (as contended for by the Great Western Railway Com- pany) was intended to be imposed upon legislation so much in the interest of the public, which provides for traffic being forwarded by the shortest route at consequently the cheapest rate." In the spirit of this decision the Board had a set of forty-nine rates made out between Haverfordwest, as the nearest town to Milford on the Great Western Company's system, and seven of the largest towns of the Midland and Northern Counties, and proposed the same as a test case to the Great Western and London and North Western Railway Companies for adoption, by the Central Wales route. The Great Western Railway Company having refused to accede to these or any other through rates, the Board had no alter- native but to apply to the Railway Commissioners, who heard the application on the 16th February in- stant and are now considering their decision, which your Board hope may be in this Company's favour. In that event your Directors trust that the Great Western Railway Company will not force this Com- pany to apply to the Railway Commissioners again and again for through rates, but that a fair and equi- table system of through rates will be arranged to and from all stations to which this Company's line forms the nearest route, and they will enter into such arrangements as will enable this Company at last to receive that share of traffic which it was con- structed to convey. Your directors regret exceedingly the costs which have been necessarily incurred in establishing the Company's rights, but take this opportunity of thanking those other Companies who contributed to- wards the cost of obtaining the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench on a matter in which all of them were so deeply interested. Your Directors regret also the great delay which has taken place in the completion of Milford Docks, as they have always felt that the opening ot these Docks would attract such a large stream of traffic as would compel the large Companies having connection with the Midland district to use this Company's line as the only direct route to and from that district and in view of the constant obstruction of the Great Western Railway Company, they have deemed it right to apply to Parliament for such running powers as will enable them, in conjunction with other Companies, to give the public the benefit of the shorter route and the cheaper rate, whilst at the same time addino- largely to the Company's revenue. ° Th a retiring Directors on this occasion are Henry Gruning, Esq., and James Kitson, Junr., Esq., who being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.' The Auditor, Mr Henry Billson, also offers himself for re-election. By Order, C. J. HAYTER, Secretary. London, 21st February, 1883.

At the instance of the British Minister, the Shah recently abolished the special tax which ( las been levied for centuries upon Zoroastrians j hroughout Persia, the privy purse bearing the consequent loss to the revenue. The Shah also ( edressed other minor grievances and disabili- ( ies in spite of the opposition offered to the ] ibange. Parsees are now on a footing of ■quality with Mussulmans. His Majesty has lOW presented a site for the erection of the English Protestant chapel at Teheran. These nstances of the Shah's personal liberality and generosity, and of the beneficient influence exercised by the British Minister, are note- worthy. SALMON. Although the ancient and momentous ques- tion whether that racking headache next morn- ing was really due to the salmon, or ought, rather, to be attributed entirely to the cucum- ber, will never probably meet with a satisfac- tory solution, there can be no complaint of any general deficiency in what a German would doubtless describe as salmon literature. No fish on earth has ever engaged so large an amount of human attention as the lordly salmon. Blue-books have been devoted to his youth, his adolescence, his maturity, and his old age statutes have been passed in order to encourage his matrimonial projects, and to watch over the safety of his tender years; treatises have been written in abundance on where to find him, when to entice him, how to catch him, and what to do with him when caught. And yet he is not happy. All the legislation in his favour, and all the artificial flies designed to please his aesthetic sensibili- ties, do not seem to reconcile him to the dainty hook so cunningly concealed with the twisted bunch of painted feathers. To this day when he is hooked he kicks and plunges like the veriest tittlebat, and has to be played and humoured with as great tact and consideration as if he were a rich relation of doubtful testa- mentary intentions, or the leader of society in a small country town where dinners are few and dances fewer. Being a person of so much distinction, it is not odd that the salmon should rejoice in va- rious, "aliases" at various periods of his chequered existence. He has borne as many names as the foreign noblemen who figure every now and then at Bow-street, on charges remotely connected with the undue appropria- tion of other persons' valuable effects. In his first, or freshman, year, he is known as a parr then he takes a seaside trip, he gets rid of his primitive verdancy, and becomes a smolt; after that, he returns again to fresh water as a grille next, he g-rows into a salmon, pure and simple; and, finally, having spawned and lost condition generally, he goes seaward, his glory dimmed, as a poor emaciated kelt or slat. The amount of erudition that has been poured forth upon these diverse stages of the salmon's existence is only equalled by the utter dryness of the de- tails from the point of view of the general reader. But in spite of legislation, science, and preserving, the salmon seems to dwindle sadly every year. And yet they ought to be a fairly prolific race, for the number of eggs laid yearly by each female salmon exactly equals the entire human population of Reading. If only four out of this very long family survived in each generation, the sum total of salmon in our rivers ought just to double itself every year instead of which it shows a marked ten- dency to decrease. And the n. oral of that is, as the Duchess in Wonderland would have said, that the infant mortality of salmon must be very excessive, and that the duties of a mother must be very ill understood, indeed, by the parent fish. But then what can one expect from a mother who habitually deserts her in- fants, not only in the cradle, but even before they are born ? Besides claiming regal honours, however (for ( it has always been accounted the king of fish), the salmon may also be considered as, in a very special and eminent degree, an episcopal fish as well. At first sight there seems to be little or no natural connection between cathedrals and salmon yet it is a real fact that most of our cathedrals stand, or have once stood, upon salmon-producing rivers, and that they were not placed there without a good and sufficient reason. The medifeval Churchman fasted ri- gorously, it is true but he fasted according to the letter of the law only, and he did not over- look the obvious epicurean advantage of a good Lenten supply of salmon. In days when there were no railways to distribute sea-fish from Billingsgate, and when cod and soles were un- known luxuries at inland places, our ancestors fully recognised the value of eels and carp, of pike and lampreys, for Fridays and fast-days and far more did they consider the advisability of placing their religious establishments in the convenient neighbourhood of a prolific salmon stream. We owe to the monks both our carp ponds and our less desirable salmon weirs which have helped to create the present general dearth of salmon in England. Wood and water were the two great monastic needs but after these came an abundant fish supply. So all the great salmon rivers of England were lined along all their banks with abbeys and cathedrals, which often disputed among themselves the rights of fishery with true mediaeval vigour and virulence. It is a curious question, what can be the hidden connection between hard words and fish, but the classical instance of Billings- gate which has been adopted into current lan- guage as a synonym for sound Anglo-Saxon misapplied, shows how deep-seated and univer- sal is the mysterious link between the two. The word has even passed over to America, where it is habitually used for the coaise slang of omnibus drivers and navvies, without the. faintest consciousness in the minds of its users as to its real origin in the name of the great London fish market. There is no luxury that palls more vapidly upon the taste than salmon. Toujours per- drix may be bad enough but always salmon | is a thousands times worse. In some parts of the Canadian back-country the recurrence of broiled salmon, salmon cutlets, and salmon steaks at every meal becomes after a few weeks a trifle monotonous. To the native palate, which bad been brought up on it and to the manner born, this constant reappearance of the self-same dish is taken as a matter of course, but to the newly-arrived Tenderfoot, or tourist traveller from beyond the mill-pond, it grows at last into a feeble joke. Is there nothing I else for breakfast ?" asked one such victim of colonial hospitality at a backwoods inn, as a whole fish and a pot of mustard were laid be- fore him upon the table. Nothing else re- plied the host in surprise. "Why, good heavens, there's salmon enough for six, ain't there ?" Yes," responded the guest mildly, but I don't care for salmon." "Well, then, thunder, pitch into mustard," was the consolatory re- joinder. It was in days when our ancestors at I home suffered from a similar plethora of salmon that the famous myth of the Severn apprentices must first have arisen. According to that fami- liar, but doubtfully veracious legend, the pren- tice-boys in towns along the banks of that great salmon-breeding river used specially to covenant in their indentures that they should not be compelled to eat salmon more than three times weekly at the outside. Unfortu- nately, as in most other cases, this time-honoured belief has met a" last with a terrible iconoclast in the person of that late distinguished lover of salmon, Mr Frank Buckland. The genial in- spector of fisheries devoted a largo part of his attention to hunting up an actual copy of any indentures containing this interesting provision. As usual, when diligently searched for, it turned out to be a case of non est inventus" -the in- dentures were never forthcoming. Once, in- deed, Mr Buckland thought he had almost got them. An old woman in a small cottage had preserved a copy, and could find it for him easily; but after-a little waiting, and a great deal of hunting, the old woman came* to the disappointing conclusion that she must have accidentally burnt the precious document the week before last. So the story went the way of many another cherished belief, and was num- bered with King Alfred's cakes and King Richard's humpback, among the exploded le- gends of our unsuspecting childhood. If Pro- fessor Max Muller were to take it in hp rid, in- deed, no doubt he could prove to his own en- tire satisfaction that it was a solar myth, and that it traced its descent in an unbroken line from our Aryan ancestor. However, as we now know that our Aryan ancestor himself was really a very disreputable person, who used to reduce himself to a state of unseemly intoxica- tion with a mysterious alcoholic stimulant which he called soma (perhaps the same as mum), that would hardly add at all to the real respectability of the story.

An unusualincident occurred on Sunday at the Epsom Parish Church. The curate had read for the third time the banns of marriage between a youth named Badcock, residing at Sutton, and a young woman named Hooker, living at Epsom, when the father of the former arose, and in a loud voice exclaimed. "I forbid it." He was requested to go into the vestiy after the service had ended and explain the nature of his objection. 4

T' AN OFFICER SHOT ON PARADE. Information has been received by telegraph of a leplorable occurrence which has resulted in the death of Lieutenant William Holland Goode, second son of cteneral Goode, of Devonport. Deceased was an )fficer of the Lincolnshire Regiment, quartered at Benares. On Friday he was shot dead on the parade ground, whether accidentally or intentionally is un- known. Lieutenant Goode was adjutant-and would superintend drills, but the men would only be fur- nished with blank cartridges except at target practice. The unfortunate officer entered the army four years ago. SOCIALIST CONSPIRACY IN SPAIN. The magistrates and the special police ap- pointed to prosecute the Secret Socities in Andalusia have seized documents and papers which, together with the revelations made by several of the Anarchist leaders, now enable the authorities to trace the vast network of a Socialist and Anarchist intrigue which was started in the towns of Jerez, Cadiz, Seville, and Malaga, but especially in the most dis- tressed and famine-stricken districts among the peasantry and in the small towns, and which during the last twelve months has assumed a serious form, causing brigandage, moonlight raids, wholesale aggressions on flocks, crops, plantations, and the dwellings of farmers. The landlords in particular are denounced by the Secret Societies. The organisation of this plot is due to the agents of the International. The confessions of criminals in seven different places establish the existence of a complete organisation with its chiefs, its centres, its funds, and its foreign correspondence with secret tribunals, inflicting death and other penalties on their own asso- ciates, and on landlords and employers of labour. The oystem of terror was so complete that for eight months it defeated the efforts of the police until a weakhearted accomplice declined to murder his master, and he revealed the exis- tence of the Jerez branch. The arrests in the provinces of Jerez. Cadiz, and Seville exceed five hundred. The judges suppose that the Societies contain many thousands of initiated members, though the inner circle was composed of desperate charac- ters only. The telegraphic accounts in the Madrid papers resemble the worst of the Irish outrages. The agitation is purely Anarchist, and without connection with any political school, though the International has branches in the capital and the chief towns of the Peninsula.
