) 1q ai1 ) SA rrrRDA r, APRIL 25, IBS5. NOTES OF THE WEEK. BY 9 R LONDON* AND PROVINCIAL CORRESPONDENTS.) Few departments of a Government were ever more clearly convicted of malversation of public money than the Admiralty by Sir Edward Heed on Monday. Shortly stated, the case against them is this:—They h?.ve been cooking their accounts in the most im- pudent manner with a view of deceiving the taxpayer with regard both to the actual sum out of pocket and the return he had sup- posed he was getting for the outlay. For instance, the heads of department would have us believe that in the year 1883-4 they built twelve thousand eight hundred and sixty-four tons of war shipping, the fact being that they had built only eleven thousand. A gain, taking the live vessels named by the member for Cardiff-the Satellite, Hyacinthe, Heroine, Rapid, and Royalist—in- stead of having cost the nation a total of three hundred and thirty-two thousand pounds, they had actually cost four hundred and forty-four thousand pounds, or one hundred and twelve thousand pounds more. Altogether, out of a total of eight and a half millions handed over by the taxpayer to the Government, all the latter could show for the money was a little over two and a half millions worth of available shipping. Some of the excuses put forward for the discrepancies in the amounts both of money and tonnage were of the flimsiest and absurdest character possible. Take, as a sample, the one which endeavoured to explain a deficient estimate by the state- ment that they bad omitted to make allowance for such incidental charges as the cost of the fuel and the furnaces wherewith and wherein the armour-plating was to be heated which went to cover some of the vessels. Sir Edward Reed thought, and the House of Commons ap- plauded the sentiment, that an end should be put to such a scandal. The time had come," he declared, when the House should say, We will no longer accept these excuses; if you are not equal to the work, make way for someone who can do it." What a great many of us, however, want to know is, why the member for Cardiff did not submit a motion to this effect, and so have given the nation a chance of having done with such bunglers once and for all. This would have been a practical termination of the business which one had a fair right to expect from a man with the practical reputation of Sir Edward Reed. The Athenaum notices some interesting 11 proceedings in which Lord Bute was recently concerned which I have not seen reported elsewhere. According to your contemporary, at the meeting of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries last week a paper of some historic interest was read by his lordship, On the Pasaio Scotoruin Perjuratorum," which forms part of a MS. preserved in the library at Reigate Church, Surrey. The MS. belongs to the latter part of the fourteenth century, and the portion referred to presents, in the form oj. a parody of Scripture, a comic narra- tive of events between February, 1306, and February, 1307. The profane Paasio," with a translation and notes by the Marquess, will appear in due course in the Society's Pro- ceedings. The author of Esmeralda" has scored another and very distinct operatic success. •' Nadeschda," brought out last night at Drurv-lane, is a work of which Mr. Julian ^turgis has written the book with materials borrowed from a work by Runeberg. 7V Nacleschda, the heroine, is a Russian serf girl, bound in law, and, moreover, in love, to Prince Voldemar, who in his brother, Ivan, and in Oslap, a man of the girl's own rank in life, finds a couple of very ugly rivals. These and the Princess Natalia, the mother of Voldemar and Ivan, are all the characters of the piece, in which there is, however, plenty of incident to fill up four good acts instinct with movement and vivacity. A capital and appropriate ballet is sup- plied, and a local tone and colour are preserved which are quite captivating. Some of the songs are exceedingly pretty, while the orchestration is admitted on all hands to be —in parts at any rate-about the best thing heard in London for many a year. Of course, at Drury-lane, and under the management of Mr. Augustus Harris, the staging and dress- ing of the piece were as near perfection as taste and money could make them. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were present at the first night's performance among a crowd of the cognoscenti. Mr. Charies "Williams, your war corre- spondent, relates in press circles in London a joke which sets the table in a roar." When he reached Korti on his return journey he found there a curious little packet at the post-office awaiting him. On opening it he discovered it to contain a mixture called corn solvent, addressed to him by a chemist at Brecon. This patriotic Cambrian medico had enclosed a note with the corn solvent stating that he had read his war intelligence in the Western Mail with very great interest; that he concluded, taking into consideration the long journeys he had made in the desert, he must have by that time, not bells" on his toes, but something far more disagreeable, viz., corns. Brecon, he stated, knew no corns since the discovery of the Brecon solvent. A berhondrlians could leap without wincing and dance without regret, for their corns had all disappeared. Until I am certain that the Brecon Galen advertises in your columns I will refrain from stating whether his corn solvent proved eflioacious or intensified the mischief in Mr. Williams's case. The remarks of Mr. Justice Wills at Man- cheater Assizes with reference to the accom- modation provided for prisoners awaiting trial show that there is room for another reforming Howard in this country. Those of your readers who saw the account may remember that his lordship declared he had found it was the practice at Manchester to confine sometimes as many as one hundred prisoners, awaiting their turn to be put into the dock for trial, in ten cells of 10ft. Gin. by 8ft. Gin., and 13ft. in height. These were lighted with gas; there was a closet in one corner, and there was no ventilation whatever. "That scenes must take place in these cells ? To an innocent and respectable person such confinement and association would be torture of the most shocking kind. Sometimes a man whose liberty for years was at stake was put into the dock late in the afternoon, andhow could a man properly defend himself who had been confined as he had described for several hours ? How, indeed, would I, also, ask ? My object, how- ever, is not to preach up the necessity of mending the ways of Manchester. There is plenty of work left me nearer home. How about our own Town-halls, for instance, in those places where they hold a Court of Assize ? In Swansea all the cells, nine or ten in number, are of the dark kind; and those in the Cardiff Town-hall are nearly every bit as bad. Fancy being locked up in one of those places day after day for as long some- times as a week before being brought to trial upon a charge of which the man or woman may be perfectly guiltless. The new Sheriff of the county, Colonel Hill, may think the hint here supplied him worth acting on. By the way, have you noticed how mad aU the Radical journals have been over the suc- cess of the Primrose League and the Conser- vative address got up in the Principality and Monmouthshire for presentation to Lord Salisbury ? They c&n t understand these things a bit, and so have been inventing all sorts of wild excuses to account for them. Particularly amusing have been their at- tempts at explaining away that very solid fact, the Salisbury memorial, of which they were kind enough to predict the failure at the outset. But, as Lord Randolph Churchill said on Saturday, those laugh best who laugh longest." In this case it is the Conservatives, without question. Seven thousand signatures from three or four counties in not many more than that number of days is no bad record, methinks. I must heartily congratulate Mr. Stacey on the happy result of his labours and the Con- servatives of the Principality and Monmouth- shire upon the splendid show of strength represented by the memorial. The interest attaching to the forthcoming mass meeting of the Rhondda miners is in- creased by the publication of some very im- portant letters from men who are regarded throughout South Wales as "authorities." The gathering was fixed for the 11th of May in order to suit the convenience of Mr. H. Broadhurst, M.P., who, having been invited, intends staying a couple of days with some friends in the Rhondda. Having secured his services, the Miners' Kxecutive asked Lord Aberdare to preside, and in reply got the very interesting letter published in your columns on Friday, in which his lordship expresses very emphati- cally his views as to labour candidates gene- rally, and not only points out the claims of the Rhondda to a labour representative, but adds his own opinion that no fitter or better representative than Mabon can be found. Coming from Lord Aberdare, who is always very cautious in what he says, this frank admission of the fairness of their claim was doubly welcome to the miners of the dis- trict. But, like Oliver Twist, they asked for more," and succeeded in obtaining it, for the "Father of the House of Commons" has now written them a rather lengthy communica- tion, brimful of interest. Not only does Mr. Talbot (the Lord-Lieutenant of Glamorgan- shire and its senior member) admit the claim of labour to its share of representation in Parliament; he goes on to prove the necessity for the presence of real working men in the House of Commons. He wants men to be sent up who have had experience as workers in the mine," and considers that their election would be of vast advantage to the community at large. Mr. Talbot goes further than Lord Aberdare, for, while his lordship concedes the possibility of an intelligent man grasping the essential points of the relation- ship of capital and labour, the Lord-Lieu- tenant holds that such men, owing to their want of knowledge of the peculiarities and specialities of mining operations, legis- late against the interests of their constituents at the very moment when they think they are doing good. Only one thing more before I invite your attention to the full text of the letter, which appears in another column. Mr. Talbot is of opinion that there are plenty of employers of labour in the House already." Swansea ha3 become quite exceptional amongst the towns of the kingdom in regard to its health, and, if it were included in the Registrar General's return, it would un- doubtedly stand as an example to most of the others. This is locally accounted for in more than one way. Some people do not hesitate to attribute to copper fumes a wholesome toughening effect on the organs, and say that, like the trade of the tanner according to Hamlet's gravediger:" it keeps out decay.' Swansea claims no exceptional sanitary conditions, and no one can say the arrangements of the Urban Sanitary Authority are more perfect than those of their neighbours. I think the open spaces we have in the town have a great deal to do with I it. Alderman Thomas will, I have no doubt, add his testimony to mine on this point, and will aver that the western portion of Swansea is blest with a share of fresh air which might well be the envy of other towns. Alderman Thomas has managed to keep open the St. Helen's Field—although the School Board dispute has not been satisfactorily settled— and it is being levelled under the superin- tendence of the estate agent, Mr. Addie. An effort is to be made by the local volunteers, so I understand, to secure part of this field for drill purposes. This is a good object, and one which just now will recommend itself strongly to the more patriotic of our municipal representatives. We know that the corporation has set up a precedent in this matter by refusing to grant the Young Men's Christian Association an exclusive plot for cricket in the Swansea Bay Recreation Ground; but I think this latter application is a very different and much less presuming one. The Calvinistic Methodists are to be con- gratulated on the action taken at the opening of their association meeting at Wrexham to- day on the question of intermediate educa- tion for Wales. To hope that the spirited resolution which they passed will awaken the Ministry of words, idle words," to take any action on this great question is perhaps ex- pecting too much. The resolution is to be placed in the hands, not only of the Premier and the chiefs of the Education Department, but in those of all the Welsh members of Parliament. W hatever the Ministers may do, there will be one course only now left for the representatives of the Principality in the matter. They must at once make the desire of their constituents, so clearly spoken by the Calvinistics, known in the House. They must do this speedily and effectively, or for shame keep silence for ever. We have long borne with the indifference and pie-crust promises of Mr. Gladstone with a forbearance which looks almost childish, but Welsh patience is now well nigh exhausted, and so I would say to our M.P.'s take up the gage of battle on our behalf or you may expect to be speedily rubbed off the lists. The Cardiff tradesman who has put up a clock with the bours marked from zero on to twenty-four has adopted a very effective method of advertising his establishment as well as a very practical one of teaching the publio the new way of counting time. I have been much amused on more than one occa- sion watching the puzzled looks of passers-by and listening to their attempts at finding out what portion of the day or night they had got to. "Darn me," said a dook labourer in my hearing a few minutes ago, HI don't know what to make out of this thing; a fella can never tell by it whether it is to-day or to-morrow." By what complication of mental disorders the man had been brought to this pitch of obfuscation I will not take upon me to determine. I can always tell the day myself, although I must confess that on discovering that I trot down to work at a quarter to thirteen (mine are rather unusual hours 1 ought to tell you), back to dinner a little after eighteen, down to work again about half-past twenty, and home for the night, or rather the morning, some- where about three quarters after nothing at all, or later, I am often considerably puzzled about the hour. But it will all come right by-and-bye, I suppose. It is a thousand pities the dispute between the Cardiff Free Library Committee and its curator, whose letter you publish in another column, has been allowed to reach the present acute stage. On Monday, it will be recollected, the librarian, Mr. Ballinger, was appointed their honorary secretary. This involves a great deal more work than some of the committee appear to me to be aware of. Granted that the librarian will be able to spare the time to discharge the duties satisfactorily, I very much doubt whether the committee would not have done wiser by con- ferring the appointment upon an outsider. Mind, I am not to be understood by this as saying, a word against Mr. Ballinger. After a tolerably long, practical acquaintance with books and their keeping, and from per- sonal observation of Mr. Ballinger's work, I can testify to the fact that a better librarian Cardiff never had. If it is a mere question of amount, the committee should at once advance the librarian's salary, which is only a hundred and twenty pounds a year—a ridiculous figure for so good a man and for such really responsible and onerous duties as his. By this means the un- divided attention of a born book lover would be given to the task of improving an estab- lishment which needed improving as badly as any I happen to be acquainted with just at this moment.
OUll PARIS LETTER. --.--
OUll PARIS LETTER. PARI, AUIL 22. It is not so much Russian arms as Russian wili- ness that England and the freo institutions she represents have to cope with. Opinion here is on the side that the Muscovite will, as usual, walk round England, as the latter's statesmanship lacks the will to do and the soul to dare. The nego- tiations merely afford food for laughter: having got England into that old rut, Russia, of course, will negotiate so long as she has nothing more— for the present—to get, and will be allowed to keep what she has. Bottom the Weaver was loud only when he imitated the lion's roar, and England i3 but viewed as roaring. Sir Peter Lumsden went to the Afghan frontier for wool, and has returned shorn. Tout passe, tout casse, tout lane. During the last few days the hesitations, the hems and haws of England are accounted for by the belief that the Ameer, like Caesar's wife, is not above suspicion he has a good deal of the modern honest broker" in his character; he desires, I seemingly, to be neither absorbed bv the Russians nor protected by the British; ho fears to be sacrificed to the prevailing emulous rapacity of the Brobdingnags. At the same time England could not be expected to scientifically fortify Afghanistan to keep out the Russians, and then to see the defences first employed to repel herself. It was only Thiers who acted on that idea; he fortified Paris to combat the designs of foreign invasion, but was the victim of his own precau- tions under the Commune. Feeling Russia in the Baltic will rather demon- strate her inability to send out a ship, as in 1854, rather than it will cripple her power. Of course, it is something to compel war ships to remain in dry docks, although the latter cannot bo shelled. The pivot of the struggle will be in the Black Sea. That's the feeding-ground of Russian reinforce- ments and implies an alliance with Turkey—a Power England ought never to have despised, but to remember, as Palmerston did, that the Sultan was an old gentleman." Man for man, the Turkish are equal to the Russian soldiers, and, if anything, better. An offensive and defensive treaty with Turkey would eclipse all the civilising tendencies of Komaroff. Then the Shah of Persia has been treated as a quantite neyligeable by England, as Jules Ferry viewed the Chinese. It is accepted that we are in for a world-war; the only active industry is the making, not of plough- shares, but of swords. England is bantered on hpr bellicose spasms, and sneered at for her peace-at- any-price longings. Indeed, it is an everyday remark that you can obtain any concession out of John Bull if you keep bullying him. The accusa- tion is not wide of the mark Continental, as well as other people, observe that. Englishstatesmanahip has no decision, no fixed course. It has only the courage to write No Popery" on a door and then —scuttle. Naturally, sympathisers are thus lost, and the courage of the English nation emasculated. It is not on the weakness of England that people count for protection, but on the lucidity and sagacity of her policy, and the consciousness that force will back up her wishes by acts, not words. British prestige has sunk down to zero on the Con- tinent now. Is she capable of facing the kicks and cuffs from all quarters? It was once her manifest destiny to teach nations how to live; is she destined to illustrate how nations die ? The French still remain very suspicious as to peace with China. They continue to send rein- forcementsto Tonquin, that which proves theyhave at last gained wisdom. The nation is also opposed to colonial expansions—that most glorious idea of M. Ferry's reign, as the Mexican adventure was Napoleon the Third's. It will be a long time be- fore France, even with a 10 par cent. duty on foreigners' goods, can recoup her outlay for the in- vasion. A French merchant pathetically com- plains that before France took over Tunisia his countrymen did some'' business in that region; but since the French have occupied it the Ger- mans, English, and Italians monopolise the trade and commerce. And that will be ever the case till France depends on cheap goods to become rich, and not on the acquisition of regions where quality is altogether ignored. The question of the Bosphore Ejyptien will bring to a head the designs of France on the Nile. It will be a positive service rendered to England, who must now scuttle or resolutely declare she will remain. The incident is only the peg to have it out with Albion. In no country can foreigners be allowed to publish newspapers denouncing the Government whose hospitality they enjoy. France would not tolerate such an anomaly for twenty-four hours, and she would be perfectly right. Inter" national law compelled Nubar Pasha not to play with tho financial obligations of his Government. Will it protect him now in upholding that Govern- ment? Every day it looks as if Turkey were more and more coming to the front as sovereign of Egypt. The Sultan, like the Ameer, Russia, Germany, and others, is quite right not to allow himself to be snuffed out. People note the significant silence of Bismarck in presence of the thickening clouds; he is waiting for the best bid for his services, and bets are freely laid that he will finish by a definite alliance with England. He knows that at any moment an extra mouthful of lobster salad or another slip on a carpet, may bring old Kaiser William's span of life to a close, and the advent of the Crown Prince as a consequence to the throne. Now, everyone is aware that the Crown Princess rules her husband, as was Philip by his wifa but, then, she is an amazingly clever woman; has a heart of oak, inherited from her native country, and, what is not less important, the clearest of heads joined to the natural foresight of her sex. She is partisan of an intimate alliance with her native land, to which she has never bid good night, and Germany. The Chancellor thinks that way also. Many persons of late commence to see in that alliance a surer guarantee for a world-peace than the trotting out of that used-up property, the quarter-day meetings of the three Emperors. For that compact England would have to accept Holland and the Luxembourg being Zollvereinised, and Russia's Baltic provinces recognised as coming within the sphere of German expansion. The Crown Princess is said to have the stuff in her of four Empresses, and in the gams of politics re- sembles Louisa d'Angouleme, tho mother of Francois I., who when her son was held prisoner by Spain did not hesitate, devout Catholic though she was, to solicit the aid of the Sultan of Turkey against Charles V., and with success. The now Cabinet, like an honest woman, is but little talked about. But, then, all politicians are occupied making sheeps' eyes to the voters in view of the general elections. The Republic is on its trial, and some adverse votes given in regions hitherto Republican are significant. There exists, no doubt, a strong Monarchical minority in France but as it is not dynastic it is not dangerous. The finances are continuing to create anxiety, and it is advocated to at once borrow another milliard and wipe out all liabilities—the system of two Budgets, and the plan of raising tho wind by robbing Peter to pay Paul and let the nation have an upright balance sheet. M. Ferry keeps stumping the country 19 demonstrate his Colonial policy and alliance with Germany have been crowning glories for France. Perhaps only himself and hiq immediate followers are of that opinion. The Radicals proclaim the opposite policy, and they are, at least, in such the holders of the k'rect card. It is said the affair of the Bosphore Egyptien has been magnified into Star Chamber proportions in order to embarrass the hardly-yet fledged Ministry, whose figure-head is M. Brisson and inspiring spirit M. de Freycinet. All depends on the attitude of England whether the whole thing turns out a song or a sermon. Judging from the volume of humble pie she has hitherto eaten, the French are justified in concluding she will gulp down more. She has become tremen- dously accomplished of late at wriggling and scuttling. A kind of feverish interest continues to be mani- fested in naval matters. One old salt"—Ulysses is known by his strides—sums up the con- troversies by declaring that the way to maintain peace is for Fiance to be pro- pared ever for an implacable war; and, to place his country beyond the reach of a catastrophe, build dockyards, lay down keels for hundreds of torpedo cruisers, of Scouts to hunt down an enemy's commercial marine to train men to torpedo tactics; to have pieces of machinery ready made so as to fit in at a moment's notice; to have depots of war material in the five parts of the world to own a real, not an apparent, fleet, and to imitate the audacity of Dritish boys in blue. All this is wisdom itself, and has an all-round St. Paul's application, not for- getting number one. The murder committed in the Rue deSaze cuts out in point of interest the construction of the Suakim and Berber Railway, the conquering of the Malagasies, or the spreading of liberty, equality, and fraternity among the Tonquinois, Cambodians, and the dwellers round Upper Burmah. Mar- chandon murdered. in Ilis capacity of valet, Madame Cornet, the wife of a Pondicherry industrial. She wanted a footman; applied to the nearest Servants' Registry Office; was sent a recidivist of the worst type, but whose elegant appearance and winning manner secured his immediate engagement. For Marcbandon the only conside- ration seemed to be was the lady, aged 50, worth robbing and murdering. It was his speciality to hire himself out as a valet or light porter, survey houses, and arrange to make a coup. Then he retired to his villa residence, a model citizen" till necessity urged replenishing his coffer. The second night after his engagement he secreted himself in one of tho bedrooms, and when the silence of the small hours set in he severed the carotid artery of his mistress, who at once suc- cumbed, packed up money and jewels, retired to a water-closet in the court-yard, changed his dress, tearing up his assassinating costume, stuffing it down the sink, and, opening the front gate at six in the morning, quietly took the train to his villa at Compiegne, valise in hand filled with the loot, which he assured his mistress, an ex-barmaid, he obtained from his good mamma." Marchandon is a very handsome fellow, aged 22, .quite aristocratic looking, and the mildest manner'd that ever cut a throat." He claims to be the natural son of the man-milliner Worth. He is the child of a very honest workman, and his mother is a concierge. Some eighteen months ago he was sentenced-his third conviction, and so young—to ten years' transportation with hard labour for robbing his master's service of plate. He eluded the police by trading on his mistress's ex-admirer's social position. For security he rented a cosy villa at Compiegne, close to the rail- way station, the police barrack, and a convent. There he led a model life, cultivated his garden like Candide, and visited Paris occasionally. His house was sumptuously furnished, and in the best style. Among other et ceteras the bed quilt was in red satin; the sheets in black silk, like Sarah Bernhardt's; the roof of the bed adorned with Cupids his mistress, who passed as his wife, was remarkable for her piety, and ladies actually went to church on Sunday, not to hear the music, but to get a glimpse of her elegant toilettes. The couple moved in the best middle-class society of Compiegne; received to dinner and, to appear more respectable, passed off as Royalists in politics. The day after the crime, as the turtle doves were commencing their dinner—roast fowl, &c., and all the delicacies of the season—the chief of the detectives and his men invited them to accompany him to Paris. The few other murders committed pale their ineffectual fives before Marchandon's. The Newgate Calendar has nothing surpassing his audacity, although there were several celebrated criminals who dodged the authorities and society The convict Collet dressed as a general and loaned money from officers; Papavoine, the murderer, enjoyed the friendship of the Duchesse d'Abrantes from the elegance of his manners; Giraud, the forger, was hand in glove with prefects and police inspectors, and at Dijon, Chazeaux, the most vulgar of robbers, gave laws to society in that city of mustard pots. It is like opening gates to an enemy to admit a servant, freighted down with good testimonials," into your service, for the only way of getting rid of a bad" help is to certify he is, like Berkeley, a compendium of all that is perfect in man." Thrones are at a discount: one belonging to Louis XIV., has been knocked down at the Auction Mart for 6,700 francs. A well-known duke has converted one that belonged to Louis XV. into a night chair. To what base uses may we come Horatio. A journal prints "Letter from our Paralytic Correspondent," the devil forgot "peripatetic'' only. r

CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the above board was held on Saturday. Present: Revs. T. Rees, J. R. Buckley, and V. Saulcz, Dr. Paine, and Messrs. O. H. Jones, Plain, D. Richards, D. Morgan, J. T. Barry, J. Richards, W. V. Huntley, J. Smith, J. Lewis, J. Ramsdale, Rees Enoch, E. Thomas, T. Matthews, F. J. Bearan, Jacobs, W. Bassett, Roberts, T. Williams, Gibbs, J. Phillips, T. Har- bottle, T. Edmunds, F. Wride, G. Phillips, T. V. Yoratii, C. Evans, P. Jones J. Thomas, E. Herne, Evan Lewis, and G. Dornford.—It being the day for the election of officers Mr. 0, H. Jones took the chair pro tem. He then proposed that Dr. Paine be re-elected chairman for the ensuing year.—Mr. Griffith Phillips seconded, and it was unanimously agreed to. —Dr. Paine, after acknowledging his election, said there was a considerable improve- ment manifested with regard to the expenditure. The total sum spent last year was £27,747 2s. Id.; out of that about £18,000 was for the town parishes. There were 6,000 odd paupers, of whom about 5,000 were from the town. The time given by the committees for tho town cases was quite in- adequate to inquire into their merits. They had only about an hour and a half to go into these cases, which rarely numbered less than 80, and sometimes reached 130. He suggested that the committees could very well meet on tho Friday to go into the relief lists. Mr. Bircham, the Local Government Board inspector, had told him this was done in some unions. —Mr. O. H. Jones and Mr. Plain were then re-elected vice-chairmen, and the various committees were appointed.—The master of the workhouse reported that 49 persons had been admitted during the week and 49 discharged this made the number in the house 581, an increase of 74 on the corresponding week of last year. It was reported that there were 235 children in the Ely Schools, an increase of eighteen on the correspond- ing week of the previous year.—-The salary of the clerk to the Assessment Committee was increased to jE175 for the last year.
BAZAAR AT THE PUBLIC HALL,…
BAZAAR AT THE PUBLIC HALL, CARDIFF. A bazaar, in aid of a fund for the restoration of the parish church at Cadoxton-juxta-Barry, was opened at the Public-hall, Working-street, Cardiff, on Tuesday, by the Rev. Mr. Morris, rector of Cadox- ton. A large assortment of useful and fancy articles, given by the parishioners, were tastefully laid out upon three stalls, which were attended by Miss Joseph and Miss J. A. Joseph, of London; Miss M. Joseph and Miss E. Joseph, of Cardiff; Mrs. Morris, Miss Robinson, Miss Rees, Cardiff; Miss Woods, Sully Mrs. and Miss Walker, Miss Trayes, Miss Perry, Miss Lourie, Mrs. Morgan, and Miss A Clode. In the evening the St. Mary's String Band, under Messrs. Gillett and Macadam, rendered some charming selections, and several songs were sung by Mr. Arthur Jones and friends. The musical arrangements, which were effectively carried out, were under the charge of Miss Trayes, and the programme put forward for the opening day was in itself sufficient to attract a large attendance.
,OUR NEW TALE.I
OUR NEW TALE.
OUIDA.
OUIDA. How many people are there who could tell the origin of the nom de plume adopted by Louise de la Ramee, the gifted lady whose portrait we give above and whose latest work of fiction, Othmar." is about to appear in our columns? Ingenious folks have before now derived the queer-looking word from the French, the German, the Italian, the Spanish, the Hebrew, and even the Sanscrit languages. It is really nothing more nor less than a playful diminutive of "Louisa," and it came into use, as many a nickname has, through the failure of the future authoress to pronounce her own name correctly when she was a little child, Born at Bury St. Edmunds in 1340, she inherited patrician blood on both sides, her father being an Italian nobleman and her mother an English lady of ancient descent. At a very early age the child displayed signs of genius, taking after her father in that respect, and it is related that she actually composed and wrote a little story before she was four years old. Noticing her precocious talent, M. de la Ram^e determined to give her a thorough er"' V education, even extending to branches generally I reserved at that time for the rougher sex. Nor did she turn away from these usually repellent studies. The higher mathematics were as attractive to her I as music and drawing, but her special predilection was to follow the course of ancient campaigns on the map, and to fight the battles of the Greeks and Romans over again in her own way. It does not appear, however, that this somewhat masculine system of training operated, as it often does, to unsex the little lady. With an intellectual grasp not inferior to that of George Eliot, she has re- tained throughout a large portion of feminine characteristics. Take, for instance, that most touching story, Two Little Wooden Shoes"; could it have come from any hand but a woman's ? It is perfectly true that Ouida has a certain cut- and-thrust way with her when brought into col- lision with those whom Carlyle would have charac- terised as windbags." But there is an abundance of tenderness in her nature, as numberless poor people could testify. Scorning mean things and mean folks, she charges down upon them like a Crusader of old, and the victims have taken their revenge, after their accustomed habit, by saying evil things of her behind her back. But those who have enjoyed the rare pleasure of intimacy with her boar witness, with one accord, that lofty thought is not more a trait of her fine nature than sympathy with the down-trodden. Another striking characteristic of Ouida is contempt for the little arts and stratagems by which many literary repu- tations have been made. She can truly boast that from the time when she pub- lished her first novel-she was then only 23 years old- until now she has never once condescended to curry favour with the mag- i nates of the literary world. What she has done she has done by her own power, and the victory she has won is solely due to her own splendid prowess. In this respect Louise de la Ram6e may claim to be "one of the people," inasmuch as she has, like them, bravely borne her own troubles on her own shoulders through the thick and thin of the battle of life. That she should have many and bitter detractors is only in the nature of things. Those who lay lance in rest against humbugs and impostors are pretty sure to have many an unsa- voury missile hurled at their heads. Some virulent tongues have not hesitated even to assail her fnir fame. A fouler falsehood was never uttered. Ask the spotless Queen of Italy what she thinks of her dear friend's moral character. Ask, indeed, any of the great and noble who are on intimate terms with Ouida, and they will bear witness that a purer, a truer type of the highest womanhood does not walk the earth. If she introduces wickedness and vice into her books, it is simply because she is a thorough artist, and so feels compelled to paint human life as it is and not as it should be. What sort of a limner would he be who gave a sketch of the Strand at night and left out every element savouring of impropriety V But there is this vast difference between Ouida and her imitators-they give a prurient and suggestive tone to delicate subjects; she is most careful to avoid everything of the sort. As for the grandeur of her heroes and heroines, and the sumptuousness of their sur- roundings, it need only be said that a lady who lives among the great ones of the earth naturally takes many of her characters from that exalted grade of society. The background of the present story is sumptuous and luxurious, as befits the great personages who figure therein. No tale of squalor is this; no photographing of the grim and grimy spheres of human existence. The very atmosphere is redolent of refinement and wealth and culture, without, however, obscuring the play of human sentiment, which, as in all of Ouida's previous works, runs through the narrative like a silver thread. The reader will find, we predict, that the interest increases with every chapter, as the love entanglements of the principal characters become more intricate.
THE WELSH MEMORIAL TO LORDI…
THE WELSH MEMORIAL TO LORD I SALISBURY. HIS LORDSHIP'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT. I The following letter was forwarded by Mr. F. E. Stacey, who was deputed to present the address signed by upwards of seven thousands, to Lord Salisbury:— Llandough Castle, Cowbridge, April 16,1885. My Lord,—I am deputed to forward to your lordship, in anticipation of your proposed visit to North Wales, an address from Conservatives and Constitutionalist* in the Principality and Monmouthshire, who desire to offer you a hearty welcome, and to record their admiration of the vigour and ability with which you have fought the battle of the Constitution in the House of Lords and throughout the country during the recent critical state of public affairs, and the entire confidence which they repose in your lordship as regards the future. The address has been signed by upwards of seven thousand people, and it would have been supported by a far larger number but for the limited time during which it has been in course of preparation.—I am, my Lord, faithfully yours, F. B. BTACSY. The Marquess of Salisbury, K G. To THU RIGHT HONOURABLE TO* MARQUESS or SALISBURY, K.G. May it please your Lordship,—We, Conservatives and Cons itutionalists of the Principality of Wales and Mon- mouthshire, desire to approach your lordship with the warmest sentiments of our humble respect and regard, and with an assurance of our high estimate of the up- answerable indictment contained in vour lordship^s recent speech in the House of Lords of her Majesty's Ministers as to their conduct of affairs in the Soudan, and their shameful desertion of our hero and th iir victim, General Gordon. We desire further to express a confident hope that the united voice of an indignant nation will at once be raised to demand the removal from office of those who are now in charge of her Majesty's counsels, and that a Government more jealous of the honour of our country, more deserving of our confidence, more just to our faithful army and navy, shall be summoned to rescue England from the perilous position into which she has been drawn through the incompetence, cowardice, and indecision of Mr. Glad- stone and his confederates, and that by your lordships' Constitutional assistance in its formation, our country may yet be permitted to rise unstained from the degra- dation to which it has been well nigh brought by the recent course of Eastern events, and to vindicate once more its honour and its fame amongst Continental nations. To the above letter Mr. Stacey received from Lord Salisbury the following acknowledgement:— 20, Arlington-street, S.W., April 17, 1885. Dear Sir,—I am much obliged to you for your letter of yesterday conveying to me a very nume- rously-signed address from the Conservatives in Wales and Monmouthshire in reference to the recent debate on the policy of the Government in Egypt, and I am greatly honoured by the kind language of sympathy and confidence towards my- self in which it is couched. If the electors of this country could express their opinions free from the pledges and condi- tions of party connection I have no doubt that very large majority would concur with you in the judgment you pass on the present Administration. Their helpless instability of purpose condemns all their enterprises to a disastrous end, and the disgrace which they have repeatedly caused by neglecting till it was too late to rescue gallant officers and garrisons whom their policy had ex- posed to mortal peril has compromised the good name of England. She speaks with little authority, and her protests will carry little weight so long as the men who represent her are discredited by re- iterated failure. I recognise with sincere satisfaction the growth and strength of Conservative feeling indicated by the names of those who have signed the address.— Believe me, &c., (Signed) SALISBURY. F. E. Stacey. Esq., Llandough Castle."

LORD SALISBURY AND NEATH CONSERVATIVES. About a fortnight ago an address to Lord Salis- bury was laid on the table of the Neath Constitu- tional Club for signature, and in a verv few days over 300 names were appended to it. 'fhe address thanked his lordship for his scathing exposure of the rush and slumber policy of the Government in the Soudan, and congratulated him on the result of his opposition to an incomplete measure of Reform. The address also deplored the disastrous condition of affairs brought about by a divided and vacillating Cabinet, and expressed apprecia- tion of the masterly manner in which he had con- ducted the cause of the Opposition generally. The following reply has been received from his lord- ship (COPY.) Hatfield House, Hatfield, Herts, April 9, 1886. gir.-I have to thank you for your letter of yest.erdav inclosing an address to me, very numerously signed by the Conservatives of Neath. I feel deeply honoured by this kind expression of their confidence and by the In- dulgent language towards myself in which it is couched. I sympathise earnestly with the language in whicli they describe the existing condition of affairs, and I share to the full the gloomy apprehensions excited in their minds b, the disastrous position into which our country has been brought by the present Administration." Our pro- spects darken every day and our destinies are at the mercy of the irresolute purposes of a divided Cabinet, whose existence is only prolonged by the partisan fidelity of a majority of which one half disapproves their policy and the other half loudly censures their conduct of affairs.—I am, yours very faithfully, (Signed) SAMSBURT. Ii. Cox, Esq.

THE REPRESENTATION OF THE…
THE REPRESENTATION OF THE -RRONDDA. SELECTION OF A CANDIDATE. We understand that at a meeting of the Rhondda Liberal Three Hundred held at Salem Baptist Vestry, Porth, on Tuesday evening, a Liberal can- didate for the Rhondda Parliamentary Division was selected. The meeting was largely attended, Mr. Jenkins (Ystrad Fechan) being in the chair. After a preliminary resolution that the candidate finally obtaining the largest number of votes should have the unanimous invitation of the association, the Rev. Mr. Richards (Tonypandy) explained that at the Executive Committee held a fortnight ago six candidates were nominated. Two of those had since withdrawn, viz., Mr. Alfred Thomas, Cardiff, and Mr. Edward Davies, Llandinam. There had been a rumour that some of the remaining four had withdrawn or would do so. They had not done so, and as the names had been before the public for a fortnight the fair inference was that thev intended to stand if selected. (Applause.) They were Mr. W. Abraham (" Mabon "); Mr. Walter Morgan, Ponty- pridd Mr. Marchant Williams, London and Mr. Lewis Davis, Ferndale. Voting was then pro- ceeded with, the candidate with the least votes being struck off the meeting then voting again, until it lay betweep Mabon and Mr. Lewis Davis, Mabon having 51 votes, and Lewis Davis 143. Then Mr. Lewis Davis's name was put again, and unanimously accepted. A deputation, comprising local officials of the association and others, was appointed to wait upon Mr. Lewis Davis after the secretary has asked that gentleman to receive them. Votes of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. Mr. Lewis Davis is head of the firm of Messrs. D. Davis and Sons, Blaengwawr and Ferndale, and he is president of the Rhondda Liberal Association. Replying to a letter asking his views upon labour representation, in view of the forthcoming mass meeting of miners to be held in the Rhondda Valley on the 11th of May, the senior member for Glamorganshire, Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, Lord- Lieutenant of the county, writes:- House of Commons Library, April 15th, 1885. Dear Sir,—The question you ask me is one on which I can give an opinion with great confidence in conse- quence of the very long experience I have had of many Parliaments since the year lSJO. You ask me whether, in the interests of the working classes, I think it desirable that a direct labour representative should be returned for the Rhondda Division of the county of Glamorgan. Certainly. I think such a member as could himself be competent to understand the various ques- tions connected with industrial undertakings would be the most likely one to represent, the feelings and opinions of his fellow workmen, and in the special case of the mining industry I do not think any other than a working man would be likely to do to, satisfactorily. I am of opinion that there has always hitherto been a great dearth of such members in the House of Commons, and that if a few really able men were elected the pro- ceedings in Parliament would be all the more likely to give satisfaction to the bulk of the labouring classes. We have plenty of employers of labour in the House, and many auiongst them who profess to have the interest of their men at heart; and we have also a large number who, from sentimental or philosophical motives, advocate the promotion of the welfare of the masses. But none of these men possess that intimate acquaintance with the peculiarities and specialities of mining operations whioh men who have themselves had experience as workers in the mine have acquired; and they are often led, in con- sequence, to legislate in what they believe to be the interests of their constituents, but in what really is to their injury. Hence it is that I believe the presence of real working men in t he House would be of vast advan- tage to the community at large and I should be very glad to hear that the electors in the new Rhondda Divi- sion entertained the same feeling, and were likely to send one of their own body to represent them.—Yours, dear sir, very truly, C. R. M. TALBOT. At the request of the Rhondda Miners' Parlia- mentary Committee, Mr. W. Abraham (" Mabon ") wrote asking Sir Hussey Vivian, M.P., to attend the forthcoming mass .meeting of miners in the district. Sir Hussey Vivian, writing from 27, Bel- grave-square, London, on the 16th of April, says:— "I shall be very happy to attend the meeting on the 11th of May. As you infer, I am in favour of labour representatives. Of course, it is too deli- cate a matter for me to express any opinion as to who should be selected by the miners; but of one thing I am certain, and that is, that if their choice falls upon you, you would do credit to their selec- tion, and be an able representative of their inte- rests in the House of Commons." NOMINATION OF LIBERAL CANDIDATES. The Liberal Three Hundred for the Eastern Division of Glamorganshire mustered strongly at Pontypridd on Thursday at a meeting held at St. David's Hall, to nominate candidates for the Par- liamentary representation of the division.

THE SWANSEA BUILDING SOCIETY…
THE SWANSEA BUILDING SOCIETY FRAUDS. TRIAL OF HARRIS. EXTENT OF THE DEFALCATIONS. STRICTURES BY THE JUDGE. SENTENCE ON THE PRISONER. At the South Wales Assizes, which opened at Swansea on Thursday before Mr, Justice Field, the grand jury found seven true bills against Thomas Harris, charging him with numerous forgeries and other frauds and embezzlements. The prisoner, who had been in custody since his committal, looked pale and unwell. As each charge was read over by the Clerk of the Court (Mr. T. Allen) the prisoner, in a low tone, acknowledged himself guilty of all. Mr. Abel Thomas said he appeared for the prosecution, and stated to his lordship the circumstances under which the frauds were committed. The prisoner was, he said, the secretary of two building Societies in the town, and he had been very much trusted by his fellow- townsmen but for the past eight years he had been forging several documents, until in the end it appeared that he had obtained, by means of fraud, no less a sum than about £ 25,000. He had gone into the bankruptcy court, and 81 creditors had proved against the estate, and of these no less than 59 had proved on forged documents, amount- ing, as he had already said, to about £ 25,000. He had, during these years, forged some 60 promissory notes and other things, ranging in amount from xioo to LIGOO. Mr. B. Francis Williams, who appeared on Harris's behalf, said he was unable to contest the circum- stances which his learned friend, Mr. Thomas, had stated. It was by prisoner's own wish that he had pleaded guilty, as he was anxious to make— as far as that went—reparation for his crime. His Lordship: I don't see what reparation that is. I suppose you mean he did not wish to add to his crime. Mr. Williams said that was what was meant. As his learned friend had told them, the prisoner was regarded in the town as a very respectable man. He had embarked in trade, which had turned out unfortunate. He was induced to misappropriate in the first place a comparatively small sum of money to cover the first defalcations, and this went on from the commencement until the time came when the state of affairs was dis- covered, and the amount reached was no doubt a very serious one. When the mis- appropriations began, about eight years ago —although it was no excuse for the crime-a great deal of this money-in fact, the greater part of what had been appropriated—had been applied in the payment of subscriptions to the Building Society in payment of interest to the mortgagees, for the purpose, no doubt, of concealing the actual state of things, and from time to time this went on until the very serious proportions which had been spoken of had been attained. Prisoner had asked him (the learned counsel) to say he deeply regretted the offences which he had committed, and he asked his lordship—as far as it was consistent with his duty-to deal as leniently with him as he could. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said the prisoner had pleaded guilty to as bad a series of frauds as had come before his notice for a long time. He had been in business and advanced, as his counsel had said, in life. He had been robbing all his poor neighbours and people who had put confidence in him for the past eight years. His counsel had asked him (the judge) to deal as leniently with him as he could--or as he ought to be-of course that he would be. But, look at the misery he had inflicted upon people; look at the frauds he had committed and the professions he had made, He (the judge) had no sympathy with him or his crime, and the sentence which he had to pass was that he be sent to penal servitude for five years.
THE ACCIDENT AT BRECON RACES.
THE ACCIDENT AT BRECON RACES. The aondition of Mr. Frank Price, son of Sir Richard Green-Prioe, who sustained serious iu- jury while riding at Brecon Races on Wednesday, continues most critical. His horse fell at one of the fences, throwing his rider. The unfortunate young man was carried to the pavilion, and Dr. Williams, who examined him, found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. On Thurs- day his condition, he having not regained con. sciousness, was considered so grave that the medical attendant would not permit of his removal. Sir Richard and Lady Green-Price arrived on Wednesday evening.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF SOUTH…
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE. SWANSEA LOCAL LECTURES. PROFESSOR TANNER'S REPORT. The following report was laid before the Senate of the University College at their last meeting — In accordance with an arrangement made by the Senate. I delivered a course of lectures on Astronomy at the Soyal Institution of South Wales, Swansea, during the Lent Term. An examination was held at the end of thecourse. Upon the resulis of that examination, and taking into account the class work shown up, I recom- mend that the College certificate shonld be awarded to each of the students whose names are given below in alphabetical order :Mr. F. J. U. Carulla, Miss Agnes Cawker, Miss Adelaide Hall, Mrs- Huxham, Mr. Coamore Johns. Miss J. A. Madge, Miss S. Madge, and Mr. W. Terrill. The classes preceding the lectures were largely attended, and several students, besicies those who took the examination regularly, did the class work set from time to time. The work thus shown up was most satis- factory, and it was evident that considerable time and thought had been given to the exercises. In conse- quence of this I was able to carry the work to a higher stage than would otherwise have been possible. The examination has fully confirmed the impression derived from the class work. H. W. LLOYD TANNER. April 21, 1886.
SWANSEA SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.
SWANSEA SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. The annual meeting in connection with the Swansea Sunday School Union was held at the Mount Pleasant Schoolroom on Thursday evening. The report of the operations for the past year stated that— The number of schools in the union at present is 28, one more than last year, and the increase in the after- noon average attendance shows an improvement both as regards teachers and scholars. The most serious fact suggested on perusal of the summary is the falling- off in the attendance of senior scholars, the num- ber being 130 less than it was two years ago. This is a question which calls for the earnest considera- tion of every Sunday School teacher, especially those having the charge of adult classes. The financial position of the union has improved. (The expenditure has been for some years steadily increasing, in consequence of responsibilities undertaken in connection with the teachers' and scholars' examinations. Extra effort has been necessary In order to overtake expenses so in- curred, and that having been satisfactorily accomplished, your committee trust that, with the help of annual subscriptions, the income may in the future be sufficient to balance the annual expenditure. Library grants have been obtained from the parent union, on the recom- mendation of the oommittee, for four schools, and the advantages thus obtained from time to time are highly appreciated. The examination report for 1885 stated that at the teachers' examinations the number of entries were:—Scripture history and doctrine, 19, of whom 9 werejpresent and 9 passed; Evidences of Christianity, 9. of whom 5 were present and 5 passed; principles and art of teaching, 11, of whom 8 were present and 8 passed; extra exami- nation, 7, of whom b were present (number of passes not yet known). For the scholars' exami- nation entries were received from fifteen schools, with the following results: -Entered, 3,582; present, 1,999 passed, 1,309.

Mr. Oliver, solici- tor, said the bankrupt had been in business at Swansea before he came to Newport. He then owed about 1100. About twelve months ago some of the creditors pressed him for :£40, and he got into difficulties at once. His Honour said it was a bad case; L300 was due, and the available assets were £ 40. Mr. Oliver said the creditors pressed him at a time when ho said if they would forbear he hoped to pay in full. His Honour said the debtor had not kept proper books. As there was no opposition on the part of creditors his Honour granted the order of discharge, on condition that it be suspended for a month.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION IN LONDON. ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP TH ADMIRALTY. THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY SEVERELY INJURED. A loud explosion occurred about eleven o'clo^ on Thursday morning at the Admiralty Office f the room of Mr. Swainson, solicitor to the depart' ment. All the windows on the Horse Guard* Parade were blown out. Great crowds assembl0^ and fire engines speedily arrived. The explosioØ is attributed to the agency of dynamite. QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. In the House of Lords on Thursday the MarqueP of SALISBURY inquired as to the explosion io the Admiralty Office. Earl GRANVILLE said it was true that tbord had been an explosion at the Admiralty, and a certain amount, but not a very great amount, of damage had been done to the building. He r" gretted, however, to say that the -Assistant Scr8' tary to the Admiralty had been seriously wounded- He was not able to give greater detail, but. so fO as he understood, the explosion seemed to havo come from the inside of the building. BY MORIEN. The explosion of dynamite, which took place I few minutes to eleven on Thursday morning, at Admiralty has startled London. Crowds so°^ collected, but the public were not admitted, the members of the press were not allowed to enter beyond the central hall, where I am penninS these lines. Colonel Majendie has been since abOIJI 11.30 making an inspection of the scene of the e*. plosion, and until this has been conclude4 no one will be admitted beyond where now am. I have had the advantage of an intervi0* with one who was in the building-indeed, in f1* room above where the explosion occurred. He tolo me a tremendous report was heard, and the WhOp building trembled violentlyand he fall down. Th** moment the whole place was filled with smoke a" dust. He ran through and reached a window 0^" lookingthe gardens behind,and the first thing he-" was two police officers climbing over the railing.4 from St. James's Park into the gardens. To Place the dynamite where it exploded would have co pelled the miscreant to pass through the gardeøSt and how this could have been done without tb wretch being seen it is impossible to say. Anot^ officer of the Admiralty tells me the dyn»s°'^ must have been placed in a part of the build* itself, and that probably was reached by climbio over the roofs.
