CARDIFF HARBOUR TRUST. A Special Committee Called to Discuss the Altered Situation. A special, meeting of the Cardiff Harbour Trust Committee has been called for Tuesdav next, when the change in the situation caused by the receipt of the letter from the T-ttf Vale Railway Company will be considered. From conversations which our representatives have had with several members of the cor- poration. it is clear that any at.Tempt to place the Taff Vale Company m respect of their dock property in a. better position than the Bute Dock? Company will, be received with strong disafiproval. It is useie^s to minimise the pin-port of the l-etter from the Tuff Vale Company and its consequences as far as the trust scheme is concerned. It is clear that tiie Taff Valte Company will not Accept the of the eorpo-rat.ic«i>, antl iv is certain at the corporation will not alter the basis of agreement to muesli an extent as to satisfy that company. A gentleman closely connected with the Taff expressed an opinion on Thursday that the practical withdrawal of that com- pany from the proposed trust would put an end to the scheme. As we have already stated, however, and as appeared from the tenour of the interviews published on Thurs- day, 'the leading spirits in connection with the scheme hold a very different opinion. COUNCILLOR F. J. BEAVAJSTS VIEWS. As Mr. F. J. Beavan is one of the strongest opponents of a, harbour trust, a. reporter sought his opinions on. the latent- phase of the Question. Mr. Beavan thought the with- drawal of the Taff Vale Company practically settled the whole business. "It would be bad enough to have Barry as a competitor," be said, "but to have Penart-h as well would make the position of the trust more critical still. I don't think the people of Cardiff will risk their money in a trust which would embrace the Bute Docks only. And. suppose we acquired all the docks in the port of Cardiff, what would T)reveiit enterprisiiig men like the* promoters I of Barry constructing another dock to com- pete with us? You know, many fortunes have been made out of Barry, and the induce- nient to construct another dock and divert the trade from Cardiff would be very great, perhaps too great to be resisted."

'BUSSES TO BE SOLD. Affairs of the Cardiff General Omnibus Company. The property of the Cardiff General Omnibus Company (Limited), in liquidation, consisting of 130 horses, twenty omnibuses, harness, &c., will be sold by auction by Mr. J. E. Gunn on the 22nd and 23rd of October. Whether the service will be oonuiuied or whether the 'busses will be removed i-vom the routes over which they now run will, of course, depend 011 the pur- chasers. 13)6 company originated at the close of the last tramway strike at Cardiff, when the tramway company refused to dismiss the new drivers and eondactOiis they" had engaged and take back their old employes. It was fathered by the Trade#' Council, and h&« had ac uufor- tunate career. It was r&-eoj.tvuot<*d about twelve months ago, and the original share- holders lost every penny they put in it.

MANSLAIJGHTER CASE. A Swansea Prisoner Now Released from Penal Servitude. Mr. R. D. Burnie has just written to Mr. Viner Leeder, solicitor, Swansea, to the follow- ing effect Dear Sir,—I am glad to hear that the Home Secre- tary has ordered the release of Walter Jenkins from penal servitude upon order of licence.—Yours truly, R. D. BUltNIE. The crime for which Walter Jenkins was con- victed a.nd sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude eight years ago was that of killing his master. Mr. Viner Leeder has persistently s-gitated far his release, on the ground that the punishment ha,d been already sufficient and that the prisoner was the support of his widowed mother. The prisoner was employed as a baker by the deceased man, a Mr. Smith, of Carmar- then-road, and one day, without any motive which 1.aK bevti ■ -fcetewWHSdy- he siftit kite dc.ui with a revolver, and then turned the weapon upon himself, inflicting grievous injury, from which he suffered for some weeks.

SOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY. Lord Tredegar to Open the Winter Exhibition To-morrow. We are pleased to be able to state that all arrangements for the holding of the annual exhibition by the South Wales Art Society at the Queen-street Hall, Cardiff, on Saturday next have been satisfactorily concluded. The exhibits, numbering over 300, have been hung, and the lia-11 has been, specially iftted up with lights surrounded by prisms and reflectors. These lights, which have never been introduced before in England, are the same as those used in the Berlin Art Gallery, aud have been sup- plied by Messrs. Fowler and Lancaster, of Birmingham. The hall will be lighted with electricity, the corporation having granted per- mission for their mains to be used, and the Maxquess of Bute ha" kindly sanctioned the supplying of the electricity from the generator at the Castle. Thus the society has been fortu- nate in securing these aids to a most successful nate in securing these aids to a most successful exhibition, which will include the following celebrated pictures:—"Holy Nig-ht" {i?nt by Lord Bute),- by .Carl Muller; portrait of Archibald Forbes, by Professor Herkoiner; On the Wve," by W. H. B. Davies; and L. Falero's great picture, He Loves Me, He LoviM. Me Not." The opening of the exhibition will be performed at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday by Lord Tredegar, and, no doubt, many of his lordship's friends and admirers will be there to offer him a welcome.

WELSH RUGBY UNION. Fitzgerald's Application for a Transfer Adjourned. A meeting of the Welsh Rugby Football Union was held on Thursday night at the Queen's Hotel, Cardiff. As usual, the meeting was closed to members of the press, hut, from an official report supplied by Mr. W. H. Gwynn, the secretary to the Union, we understand that D. Fitzgerald's application for a transfer from Cardiff to Leigh was adjourned until the next meeting of the Union, when Fitzgerald is requested to attend in person. In the mean- time the committee resolved that Fitzgerald should be debarred from playing for any Welsh or English club pending a satisfactory explana- tion on his part. The committee also 1 esolved that the secretary should communicate with Mr. G. Rowland Hill, secretary to the English Rugby Union, reporting the Leigh Footbadl; Club for playing Fitzgerald afler warning had been sent them not to play him. It was unani- mously decided that the secretary should com- municate with. Mr. G. R. Hill asking him to call a meeting of the English Union at an early date to reinstate the Brothers James.

PRIZE RING, Corbett and Fitzsimmons Matched at Jacksonville. A Reuter's telegram from New York on Thursday says :-Corbett and Fitzsimmons were matched to-day to fight to a finish at the Florida.

LADIES ON ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS. "IrNi-c If Astrup. the Norwegian explorer, who accompanied Lieutenant Peary on his recent Arctic expedition, has written a. letter to the "Morg-enbladet," in which he pictures the arrangements made for the voyage as being of a most inadequate and unsatisfactory character. In the spring the relations be- tween the members of the expedition were far from being of a cordial character, and provi- sions were scanty, which caused great dis- satisfaction among all. M. Astrup says emphatically "the ladies had an extremely bad influence on the good relations and co-opera- tion among the expedition."

ELECTRIC LIGHT. Preparations at Cardiff are Now Nearly Complete. The preparations for the lighting of Cordiff are being vigorously pushed forward, and the lamp testing has proved quite satisfactory, the light produced being' of excellent quality. Upon visiting the electric lighting station on Canton Common on Thursday, one of our representa- tives was informed that the ponderous machinery had been set going' frequently during the last week with most satisfactorily results, no weak- ness or flaw in the bearings being discovered. All that, now remains to be done is the fixing of the street lamps and some minor jobs, which ought to be completed in the course of a few days.

TRADE OF CARDIFF. An Enormous Increase Shown in the Coal Shipments. The coal shipments, including bunkers, in the Customs port of Cardiff for the nine months ended September 30 last amounted to ll,4"r>,000 tons. compared with 9,532,000 tons in the same period* of 1893, and showing the enormcus jn- crease of 1,893,000 tons. The increase alone would he considered a, respectable trad 5 111 main ports. The last quarter ot 1893 was a, hea».v one. but, provided there is no disrwybion of trade bv strikes, &c., t-he quantity then shipped is likely to be exceeded -letween the of October and the 31st of Decernoer this year by about 150,000 tons. Should this estimate prove corr ect, the export of :'0;1 and coke from Cardiff this year will exceed that of 1893 Ly over 2,000,000 tons, while the ;?ii;T>ia«}o»s of iaM —the highest year on record-will be beaten by about 1,500,000 tons.

WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. Address by the Archbishop of Canter- bury at Lambeth Palace. The first meeting of the Djocel3<Hl Church Committee for the Diocese of Canterbury was held on Thursday at Lambeth Palace Library. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who presided: explained the nature of the movement lately inaugurated in consequence of the attack upon the Church in Wales. He explained it as being the Church acting upon itself, both for the instruction of its own members and the for- mation of a sound public opinion in the com- munity at large upon the history, work, and claims of the National Church.—A meeting was also held of the Central Church Committee, which is organised to prevent the disestablish- ment and disendowment of the Church, and progress was reported1.

ACCIDENT AT ELY. Inquest on the Bodies of Boys Killed on the Railway. Mr. K. B. Reece, coroner, on Thursday held an inquest at Ely on the bodies of the two lads, Rees and Phillips, aged eight and nine respec- tively, who were killed 011 Wednesday morn- ing by the Irish mail on the line near Ely.— The evidence showed that the deceased lads and another were crossing over the line noor Ely on a much-used pathway, when they jsaw a train approaching and stopped to let it. pass. Directly the train had parsed the boys ran across the I' iii. not having noticed the Irish mail from Milford, which was coming in the opposite direction to the other train, and which dashed over two of them, the other toy just managing to get out of its way.—A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

A Night on a Funnel. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT i SEA. j Passenger en a Wrecked Union Line Steamer Tells a Thrilling j Story. A correspondent forwards to the "Daily Graphic" all account of a harrowing expe- rience which befel himself and others last month at the Chinde, mouth of the Zambesi. He was on board the steamship Union, belonging to the Union Line. which carried a party whose object was to survey & new channel across the bar. Unfortunately, the Union ran aground, and, in doing go, bumped upon one of the anchors of a buoy, which knocked a fair-sized hole in the ship's bottom. Not- withstanding every effort to save her, she rapidly settled down and E-ank in about ten feet of water. The corre- spondent continue-Captain Carr and I made a bolt for the top of the funnel. I was nearly earned away by the first breaker that canw ell board after she sank, but j managed just in time to get Oil to the grating 'i on top of the boiler and grasp the exhaust steam pipe. Just as I did so my legs were carried out cn a level with my head, like the ta.il of a horse in a- strong wind. The breaker, passing me, rushed aft and swept the rest of the people, with the exception of four blac-k boys, Intc the sea. and the order was sauve qui peut. On my following Captain Carr to the ton of the funnel, Captain Borthwick, who had managed to cling to a ventilator, took iiiv position at the exhaust steam pipe, where he was partially sheltered by the funnel. Eventually, he and the black toys had to come up to the top of the funnel on account of the tide rising, and there we sat in the most miserable plight that ever fell to the lot of man. This was at two o'clock. All that afternoon we anxiously scanned the entrance to the river, some two and a half miles distant, torsions of help. We saw a boat come partly out of the river, but it had to co back, being unable to stem the tide. A dhow that was anchored outside the bar then seemed to be our last chance for lif3. She had hoisted her g-til and was making for the fair-way, in order to crosh the bar A* or WE* high water. To our joy we saw that she was going to pass within two hundred yard's of us, arid we knew we could hail her, and we thought she must come to anchor astern of us. We never for an instant dreamed that human beiu"»=. either white or black, could leave us in the perilous position in which we were placed and not lift a hand to save us. But this is exa -tiy wliat was clone. They came ,idint up to us, and when within reach we hailed them, and implored them to help us; but th"" merely hoisted their colours in rosponae and sailed off towards the entrance .to si* 'u.'#.b our fit 1. r. "It was now about five o'clock, and hope of any rescue was nearly extinct. The sun set and night came on, and such a night as it was neither of us three white men will, I think, ever forget. Towards ten p.m. the- tide had ?bbed sufficiently to give us a short respite, and we managed to crawl down on to the remains, of the bridge. There we lay down, shivering, until about half-past twelve. We then got up and managed to string two lines across the top of the funnel, a.nd made tiieni fast on either side in such a way as to make two loope that hung down into the top of the funnel about two feet. This gave us somewhat of a rest for our feet while sitting uoon the funnel top. Captain Can and my- self were stark naked, with the exception of a thin, singlet apiece, and we were simply perished with cold. Notwithstanding this, and the waves which broke over the top of us. we managed to hold on. and even so far forgot our position as to frequently drop off to sleep, although nudging each other from time to time in order to keep awake. Towards daylight, the funnel, with sll the extra weight that was atop of it, became very shaky. and I was momentarily in fear lest it should ao. and precipitate us into the boiling surf, which was raging all round ns. But, happily, this did not occur, and, to our unspeakable joy, daylight. broke once more. "It is needless to say that, from the first streaks of dawn, we were all straining our eyes in the direction of the river to catch the first glimpse of the help which we were now sure would be seia. to us from Chimde. And sure enough, just a little after six a.m., we caught sight of a small steamer making her way slowly out towards us. They came as close as they dare and hove a life-buoy at- tached to a. line into the water, and we then, j one after another, jumped into the water, caught the Jife-buoy, and were hauled on board, three white men and four black boys all told. To our great- relief, when on board we learned that all the others who were washed from the wreck the day be-fore had been picked up that same evening, having I floated right up the river on wreckage and' debris, opposite the town of Chinde. We also J learned that the English Vice-Consul of j Chinde, Mr. Ralph Belcher, had been to the | Portuguese authorities early in- tlie afternoon I to get- thean to send out one of their own. -ffl gunboafe (which are the counterpart of our tlj own on Lake Nyassa). Tliey had, after n demur, promised him that one should go out as soon as there wa- water enough to allow her to float. whHi would have been at four i o'clock in the afternoon, in ample time to have taken us off the wreck. Instead of this they did1 not leave until half-past five, and j t-lien onlv went across the river and came back j a,a;ain. Meanwhile Dr. Dea-we, of H.M.S. J Mosquito, had sent one lifetoat, which was the boat that we saw, but. which, a-s I have said before, had failed to stem the t'de. On the return of th i < boat he chartered the small steamer which came out for us next monritur. although, even to obtain this, he had to make the threat of taking off an armed crew, as the man in charge of her did not wish to let her go. All's well that ends well, but such another experience oil the top of «. funnel I think neither of us would like to go through a.llam.
