THE FREE LIBRARY PRIZE AWARD.…
THE FREE LIBRARY PRIZE AWARD. Cardiff may boast the distinction of being the only town in Wales that has adopted the provisions of the Act of Parliament enabling the local authorities to create and support a Free Library. The grant made for the purpose by the Corporation of this town, we believe, is only one-half of the maximum amount per- mitted by the Act to be raised by rate for the purpose, yet under the management of a committee of prominent citizens, wisely selected by the Town Council, the suc- cess of the experiment has been most gratifying and complete. The Mayor is ex officio the Chairman of the Committee, but the active management of the Library has mainly devolved upon the Vice-chairman, Mr. Charles Thompson, and the Secretary, Mr. Peter Price, who have been most assiduous in their labours, and have spared no efforts to extend the usefulness of the institution. Last winter, under the powers of the Act, an arrange- ment was entered into by the Committee of the Li- brary for the establishment of Schools of Art and 'Science. The Committee of Privy Council on Education possess a science and art department, having its bead quarters at Kensington, who are empowered to make grants to classes throughout the country, to promote the study of science and art. The Free Library Committee accordingly procured the services of two cettificated teachers, Mr. Bush and Mr. Robotham, under the former of whom classes were formed for the study of machine drawing and elementary mathematics, and under the latter of inorganic chemistry, mining, and geology. These classes were all we 1 attended, though the move- ment, of course, could not be expected during its in- fancy to attain the full dimensions which it wil doubtless attain in future winters. The proficiency of the classes -was marked, and their attention and the interest excited vere most satisfactory; especially was the machine drawing class a decided success. In May last the officers of the Committee of Council undertook an examination of the pupils. Examination papers weie forwarded to the Free Library Committee, and by them placed before the pupils, care being taken to provide that the an- swers were written by each without concert or aid from others. These papers were then immediately sealed and transmitted to Kensington. In due time the Committee Z, of Council forwarded their report. In the first grade they awarded no prize. In the second grade, a prize to Ge rge Thomas, in the machine drawing class; in the third grade, to the following pupils, all in the ma- chine d'awing class:—Elijah Barwell. William Coe, Richard W. Deacon. David J. Morgan, Edwin J. Stead, Philip H. Thomas .William Thomas, and Thomas David; in the third grade also, to Enoch Daniel and Richard Mumford. in the inorganic chemistry class. They also awarded honourable mention as tinder:— John Coibett 4th grade in machine drawing class Alexander Duncan 4th „ „ Charles Venning. 4th „ „ John Bowen 4th elementary mathematics Henry Gooch 4th geology William Macauliffe. 5th machine drawing class Herbert P. South 5th „ „ William Trewartha 5th „ „ David Aubrey 5th „ inorganic chemistry 1 he Committee of Council graduate their grants m aid of the payment of the teachers, by the results at- taiDed. Had there been first grade prizes awarded, the teacher of the class would have received £ 5 for each pupil who merited such prize. For the second grade prize awarded as above, the teacher receives £4 from the Government grant; for the 3rd grade, the teacher re- ceives Jt,3 per prize pupil; for the 4th grade, honour- able mention, X2 per pupil; and for the 5th grade, £1 per pupil. Thus it is made the teacher's pecuniary interest to promote to the utmost of his ability the pro- gress of his pupils. With respect to the prizes them. selves, the successful pupils do not fare quite as well as the teachers. A list of articles for them to select from was forwarded. Five of them selected a box of ma- tbematical instruments, two Hoffman's work on Che- mistry, and the four others chose a volume entitled Eng- land's workshops. On Thursday (yesterday) evening, the public delivery ot the prizes to the above-mentioned pupils took place at the Town Hall. The Assemb.y Room was crowded, notwithstanding the rainy weather and muddy streets, by an audience comprising the elite of Cardiff society, scarcely a family of prominence being unrepresented. Mr. Bruce, always fluent, was in his happiest mood, and in his address held his audience in close and deeply at- tentive interest throughout. We only regret that the holding of the meeting on the immediate eve of our publication rendered it impossible for us to give more than a brief resume of a speech, which deserved verba- tim record. The Mayor briefly stated the object of the meeting and introduced the Right Hen. H. A: Bruce, M. P., late Vice-President of the Committee of Counell on Educa- tion, who was received with load cheers. Mr. Bruce was accompanied to the platform by 'his brother-in-law, R. 0. Jones, Esq., of Foumon CAstle, the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and by his brother, the Rev. Canon Bruce, of St. Nicholas. The Mayor, and Mr. Charles Thompson, Chairman and Vice-Cbair- man of the Free Library Committee, and Mr. Price, the secretary, also occupied seats on the platform. Mr. PRICE read the names of the pupils to whom prizes had been awarded, and Mr. BRUCE proceeded to award them, without remark, to the pupils as they re- spectively went up to the platform. Mr. BRUCE then proceeded to say, that the ceremony that had just been witnessed was not a very imposing one, but it was, nevertheless, very interesting. When he found that the town of Cardiff had adopted the Free Library Act, be expected that before long the establish- ment of science classes would foilow. A frequent im. pression in regard to free libraries, before they were ac- tually tested, was that they would be resorted to by the young merely for amusement: but experience proved that ere long the readers would throw aside the mere cakes and gingerbread" of literature, and betake them- selves to more solid food. The establishment of these science schools showed that such was the result here. Reports from all parts of the country, some'years ago, bad showed that while England was the greatest manu- facturing and mechanical country in the world, yet there was no civilised country in which so few facilities were given, in the wcy of popular schools, for teaching the practical sciences. We all knew how much the wealth of this country depended on mining it might have been supposed that there would be a great number of miuing schools, and those of the highest class. Yet the fact was that to obtain the highest description of education in that department of science, the student had to go abroad. Mr. Hussey Vivian, one of the members of Parliament for the county, was probably one of the most thoroughly educated men in this country in respect to mining but his father bad had to send him abroad to a German college to acquire that training. He wished he could b.ast that to the political paity to whom 'ke belonged was due the credit of instituting these popular science schools; but he could not. It was under the former government of the Earl of Derby, when the Marquis of Salisbury was President of the Council, and Mr. Adderley theiVIce-President, that the ,scheme was instituted. Nor were these the only mem- bers of the Conservative party who had taken a deep in- terest in the matter. He was glad to say that Education never had been, and he trusted it never would be, made • a party question. Sir John Pakington, Mr. Adderley, Sir Stafford Northcote, and other members and sup- porters of the present government, were as earnest as any members of the Liberal party in promoting popular education. In referriug to the results of the establishment I of these science schools it might be mentioned, that there were now 158 such schools, of which 121 were in England and Wales,8 in Scotland, and 26 in Ireland. In these schools were 484 classes in the different branches of science, comprising 6,835 students. Last year there was an increase of 38 schools, Cardiff being one, and of 1,356 students; and the number of papers sent up for examination last year was nearly double that ofithe year before, showing the rapid progress of the ■■ movement. In all the schools only four Queen's medals were given in each class of science; so that it was not to be wondered at that a newly formed school like this in Cardiff bad not received a medal; but he considered that the number of prizes and certificates awarded this evening WAS most creditable, considering the limited time that the school had been in existence. It should be known that any private students could attend and ob- tain honourable mention by competing in the examina- tion, though they were not eligible for prizes without attending the classes as pupils. This country was outstripped by others in the progress of national education. France had a far better and more general system of popular education than this country. So had JPrnssia, the difference being that the latter country .made education compulsory, by preventing any man from going into trade until he had been at school, and requir- ing all the young to be at school from the age of five to that of fourteen. In the United States there existed the most perfect system of national education ever devised. '• Every locality provided, at the publie cost, gratuitous education for all; and the length of time which the ■young could remain in school was limited only by the age at which their services would be required to earn their support. The effect of this system was to diffuse good and equal education among all classes of the po- potation, to an extent that existed nowhere else. We knew that the strength of a country depended on the 1 intelligence and public virtue of the population. What an enormous advantage, then, would a nation derive I from having its citizens thus universally well trained. In Cardiff or in any town, how many of our working men were there who bad received the training which they ought to have had-how few had had justice done to them ? He urged that voluntary effort alone could never supply an adequate system of national education. We needed Government aid to give us qualified teachers, under proper inspection, and to supply means for sus- taining schools where voluntary effort had been insuffi- cient for the purpose. This country was particularly deficient in educational provision as regarded women. Not to speak of the poorer class of women, numbers of those in the middle classes had to acquire only the mere frippery of accomplishments, instead of the solid knowledge which every woman should have, in order to fit her for the proper care of children. Every great man attributed the qualities which gave him success to the influence of his mother. How important, then, that the future mothers of England should receive such an edu- cation as would give them a proper estimate of the value of knowledge, and the means as well as the will of pointing their children in the way they should go. To show how well adapted the female mind was for acquiring knowledge, when facilities for it were pro- vided, he mentioned that a friend of his, who bad been in America, told him that the three best scholars be met-most skilled in Greek and Latin-were ladies. Why should a vast mass of female intellect lie dormant in this country ? He hoped that female classes would be formed in connection with these schools, and that when next he attended on such an occasion as this, youths of one sex as well as of the other would be called forward as recipients of prizes. On a similar occasion recently in Lancashire, he had awarded prizes to no iesfl than thirty young women. The citizens of Cardiff had acted not only kindly, but wisely and pru- dently, in establishing the Library and these schools, and thus affording the means of a sound education to the young. Every succeeding year, no doubt, they would find an increasing number of the youth of Cardiff apply- ing themselves to these studies, and he hoped before long the number of students would rise from fifty to five hundred. He could not wish for Cardiff more, than that the growth of its people in intellect and education, and in all the advantages that sprang therefrom, should be as great as its growth in material prosperity. If it was, it would leave nothing to desire and he was quite sure that, as Christian men, none of them would Jest satisfied as long a* this progress remained unattained. Much, he admitted, had been done of late years, and much was being dome now but there remained an im- mense deal still to do, which clJuld only be done by the hearty concurrence of all classes, the exertions of the richer and more intelligent being met on the pat t of the working classes in a generous and sympathetic spirit. There were in Cardiff citizens who had shown that they had the good of their fellow-citizens at heart; they had induced the borough authorities to found the Flee Library, and to provide funds for its support, and they bad applied themselves to found these science schools; and he was sure they would not be satisfied until they had tried by every means in their power to bring to the youth of the town all the means of a sound scientific education. There was an antiquated notion that it was Dot safe to teach the working classes—that if the lewer classes were educated, they would become dis- contented and unwilling to perform the duties of life which were most disagreeable and esteemed the lowest, though equally necessary with those of a higher descrip- tion. He did not concur in this idea, and he trusted • there were few persons of culture from whose minds it had not disappeared. It might be that the partial, oc- casional education of working men produced discontent; but when education beeame universal, things would, in respect to the relative differences of position among individuals and clesses of society, remain as they were now for then those who had naturally less powers of mine), or had paid less attention to the means of improvement supplied to them, would take the lower place relatively on that account. In conclu- sion the right hon, gentleman said, it had given him the greatest pleasure to be the means of presenting, on this first occasion, these testimonials of merit and proofs of industrious exertion to the youth of Cardiff. If he was not present in future years, be should nevertheless hope to bear that the number of recipients had been in- creased, and the grade of prizes raised and that be- fore long Cardiff would figure among those places which carried off the Queen's medal—the highest distinction that could be conveyed by that education department of the Privy Council, with whilolb he was so long con- nected, and in the success of which he would ever take the very deepest interest. The right hon. gentleman then sat down amid loud cheers. The MAYOR (W. B. Watkins, Esq.), rose to express on the part of the Library Committee and local authorities, and the audience generally, their sense of the high honour done to them by Mr. Bruce in presiding on this occasion, and to pro- pose a vote of cordial and hearty thanks for his services. It was gratifying not only to hear such an interesting address delivered, but to know that in Cardiff we had a press second in ability in point of reporting to none in the country, not eAen to London, and that those citizens who had not at- tended the meeting, as well as those present, would be made acquainted with sentiments so eloquently advanced. After a few remarks on the benefits of education, especially to the mechanic and working-man, the Mayor went on to say that when, as would be the case, the children of to-day acquired a far better education, and had more advantages, than their fathers, they would, on growing up, look back with gratitude to the efforts of Mr. Bruce, and others like him, in the cause of education. They would feel the more grateful, because the labours which such statesmen devoted to matters of this description encroached on a leisure rarely gained from the pressure of engrossing public duties. If anything could add to the gratification with which Cardiff people welcomed Mr. Bruce in aiding such a cause, it was the fact that he was himself peculiarly identified with this town and county. He was the representative of one of the oldest county families his nearest rtlatives lived among us, and enjoyed the warm affection of all; and for their sake, as well as his own, the people of Cardiff felt locally honoured by the distinguished position Mr. Bruce had attained in the State. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CHARLES THOMPSON seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. BRUCE, after acknowledging the compliment, said he was glad that Cardiff, with which he had been so long con- nected, had taken the lead 01 all the towns in Wales in the patriotic and useful course of founding a Free Library and establishing science schools. If on any subsequent occasion of this kind his presence could be supposed, to add any in- terest to the meeting, they might always command it. There could be no greater pleasure and satisfaction to him than to take part in an effort for the benefit of the working classes. The more he lived among them and the more closely he was brought into association with them, the more interest did he feel in their future, and the more did he lament that for want of proper opportunities of improvement they had not had the means of doing justice to themselves and their abili- ties. The Town Council of Cardiff, he repeated, had done a wise thing in promoting by all the means in their power the intellectual improvement of the people, and he hoped the time was not far distant when they would look upon this merely as the first step—that they wquld be entrusted by Parliament with the.means of completing the work; that wherever voluntary effort had failed throughout the borough, a public fund should be created, not merely for the establish- ment of a free library and a school of science and arts for the instruction of a select few, but schools that should bring the blessings of education even to the meanest and poorest among the people. (Enthusiastic applause).
NEATH.
NEATH. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—OO Monday, a frightful ac. cident occurred 00 the South Wales Mineral tine, near Ton mawr, approaching Neath. A man employed at the coal pits, while attempting to jump upon a loaded truck when the train was in motion, missed his foot and fell between the break-lever and the wheel, and was thus held and dragged along the rails till the engine driver's attention was called to the fearful situation of the poor fellow by some parties on tbe line. On being released from his horrible impalement, it was discovered that his right arm and leg were torn to pieces, and that he was fast sinking from loss of blood. A temporary tourniquet was however made with. handkerchiefs, by a gentleman named Parsons, who happened to be present; and the sufferer was then carried home and his leg amputated. The patient is progressing favourably.

SANATORY MEASURES.—The Sanatory Committee ap pointed Mr. Richard Pi octor, chemist, to supply any medicine that might be wanted, should Penarth be visited with cholera. The choice has been a very good one. Mr. Proctor is very clever in his profession, no man more so — and his assistance is often sought in cases of emergency. As there is at present no resident medical gentleman, these cases are pretty frequent, and it is welljjfor us that weliave a gentleman of Mr. Proc- tor's ability to run to. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—A service was held in the Parish Church of St. Augus'ine's, Penarth, on Thurs- day, at three o'clock. Several clergymen from the neighbourhood attended. The Psalms were chanted, and two Harvest Hymns were sung by the Penarth choir. The lessons were read by the Rev. H. H. Rick- ards. The sermon was jpreached by the Rev. Powell Jones, rector of Llantrissant, and the collection was in aid of the National Society.
NEWS IN BBIEF.
NEWS IN BBIEF. A frightful gale occurred off the east coast of New- foundland on the 22nd of September. A French frigate and several coasters were lost. Over 150 dead bodies were washed ashore at St. Pierre. The shareholders of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, justly indignant at the disclosures made respecting the financial operations of the directors with Sir S. Peto & Co., at their recent meeting ousted all the directors, except Lord Harris, the vice-chairman. The appointment of Count Goluchowski by Austria as Governor of Galicia, has given offence to the Court of St. Petersburg, the Count being an avswed sympathiser with Poland against the tyranny and cruelty of Russia. The United States District Attorney has announced that no courts will be held at Richmond at present. Chief Justice Chase will not preside at the November term, so that the trial of Mr. Jefferson Davis is again post- poned. The American Government has entered a nolle prose- qui in the case of the Fenian President Roberts. Clear proof that success is turning the heads of the Prussian rulers is given in a circular recently issued, in which they warn the French Government not to "in- crease its military strength in such a way as to alaim its neighbours and menace the quietness of Europe." A murder has been committed at Birmingham. A young man, named Joseph Taylor, lived with a woman named Elizabeth Desmond, whose father occupied a room in the same house. The father had frequent quarrels with Taylor, and according to the dying depo- sition of the latter, mortally wounded him with a knife on Saturday morning. Mr. Gervoise Smith, Liberal, was elected atFalmoutb, on Tuesday, by sixty-three majority over Mr. R. N. Fow- ler, Conservative. This is an offset to Brecon. There was a monster Reform Demonstration on Mon- day, at Glasgow. In his speech at the evening meeting, Mr. Bright made the following statement :-If the clerk of the House of Commons were placed at Temple-bar, and if he had orders to lay his hand upon the shoulder of every well-dressed and apparently clean-washed man who passed through that ancient bar until be had num- bered 658, and if the Crown summoned those 658 to be the parliament for the United Kingdom, my honest coni viction is that you would have a better parliament than now exists (loud cheers). Now this assertion will stagger some timid and some good men, but let me explain my. self to you. It would be a parliament every member of which would have no direct constituency, but it would be a parliament that would meet and act as a jury, that would take some heed of the facts and arguments laid before it. It would be free, at any rate, from the class prejudices which weigh upon the present Honse of Com- mons. It would be free from the overshadowing pres- sure of what are called noble families. It would owe no allegiance to great landowners, and I hope it would have fewer men amongst it seeking merely their own gains by entering parliament. Why, with the parliament which we have now, and have had, facts and arguments go for very little. CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF ENGLAND AND WALES.— The autumnal meetings of the Congregational Ution of England and Wales were held at Sheffield last week. There were upwards of 400 ministers and delegates pre- sent. During the proceedings, a report from the Com- mittee of the Memorial Hall was read by the Rev. John Corbin, from which it appeared that upwards of £50,000, of the ^75,000 required to purchase the freehold pro- perty, and build the hall and offices in Canon-street, London, had been raised. The Rev. J. P. Paton read a paper on the Power of the Press," in which he strongly argued the importance of doing more than they had ever yet done to promote the circulation of their denomina- tional literature. In the course of the discussion which followed, Mr. Morley stated that in 1831 about 45,000 newspapers were issued in England, but in 1864 no fewer than 550,000,000 were sold! The assembly re- solved to print the paper, and take immediate steps for extending the sale of their newspapers and magazines. Various other matters of practical importance were dis- cussed, and the meeting closed with votes of thanks to the friends in Sheffield. The Board of Education bad a public breakfast on Friday morning, and several evening meetings were held in furtherance of British missions and other objects connected with the Union.

STEPHENS THE FENIAN.—The following is from a speech of the Chief Organizer at a Fenian picnic, on the 24th of SeptemberIt is my deliberate intention to go to Ireland this year, and let no man be mistaken in this. Some men have said if I were in earnest I would not have made it public, but those are men who, either by their treachery or their plunders,lmade it a necessity on me to do so, and if I were a free agent I would not do so. I choose this course only as the least of two evils forced on me, because, if I did not make a definite statement, I could not hold the men in Ireland together, they have been so much meddled with; nor the men in this country either; their complaints have reached me, and it is therefore that I am forced to say that I will un- doubtedly be in Ireland this year, for I fully believe, even if I did not go over, they could not be held in order over there, and the fight would go on without me. If I thought it would be any gain to delay the action, I would do so and risk all my popularity; but I cannot, for they are determined on fighting this year, and I am as fully determined on being with them, come weal or woe. No matter what others say, take my word I will be in Ireland, and then the people will strike a blow for liberty." A horrible wife murder is reported to have been perpetrated near Hilltown, county Down, on Friday last. It appears that a man named Patrick Morgan and his wife retired to bed on Thursday night with their two young children, seemingly on very friendly terms. Some time after breakfast next morning the husband and wife went out together for the purpose of digging potatoes in the adjoining field convenient to the bouse. Nothing further is known to have occurred till a little girl named Lucy Grant saw from a piece of rising ground some fields off the man Morgan beating something with a spade, that she at first supposed must be a rat that he bad started in a furrow. But as she missed the woman whom she had seen gathering the potatoes with him a few minutes before she raised a shout which attracted the attention of some workers in the adjoining fields. Three or four persons ran over to the field, where a frightful sight met their view. Mary Morgan, the un. fortunate wife, was found lying in a potatoe ridge with her head smashed to pieces and her hair clotted with blood. Morgan was subsequently arrested in his mother's house, but he made no attempt to escape. No motive can be assigned for the deed, and it is generally believed that the man is insane,
Cardiff Sjnppiixg Intelligent*.…
Cardiff Sjnppiixg Intelligent*. The steam coal trade is still active, and as the dry weather enables operations to be carried on at the docks more briskly the out-put at the various collieries is larger. Proprietors' books are well filled with orders on home and foreign account, and there is every prospect of a good business being done for some time to come. If the exports and shipments keep up for the remainder of the month as they have since the com- mencement, the returns for October will show a large in- crease in the tonnage cleared out. There is a decided im- provement in the demand for house qualities, and merchants are purchasing more extensively on coasting account. The change that has taken place in the iron trade is for the better. The home demand is healthier, while orders for nearly all descriptions of manufactured iron are being placed a little more freely, but not to the extent expected. With money so cheap as it is, several of the large companies will doubtless avail themselves of the present favourable circum- stances in placing their contracts. There is a slight increase in transactions with the United States and the Continent. FROM THE BILL OF ENTRY OFFICE. EXPORTS. Destination, Ship. Cool. iron. snippers. October 12.

CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH.
CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH. This Board met on Friday, present the Mayor, in the chair, Alderman Pride, and Councillors J. Bird, P. Bird, Jones, Bowen, Evans, Ingledew, and Elliott. This was a special meeting for the purpose of considering a letter received from Messrs. Luard and Sherley in regard to the old bed of the river near Temperance-town. The MAYOR moved that the Board resolve themselves into a committee for the purpose of reading and considering the letter referred to. Mr. J. BIRD: Why not discuss it publicly ? The MAYOR: I think we had better not. Mr. EVANS seconded the Mayor's motion, which was adopted without dissent, and the reporters accordingly quitted the room. CARDIFF POLICE.—FRIDAY. (Before R. O. JONES and GRIFFITH PHILLIPS, Esqrs.) SMUGGLING.—The captain of the Bessie Young, of St. Nazaire, was fined £ 4 14s. 4d., being the double duty on nearly 41bs. of cigais, which he had brought ashore without paying duty on them. OBSTRUCTION.—Mr. Sanders, outfitter, Hayes, was sum- moned for obstructing the thoroughfare. Sergeant Wines stated that he noticed a quantity of goods outside the shop, arranged on a crate or hamper, and complained of it to one of the young men on the premises. Going by at six o'clock, a considerable time after, he found the obstruction still there, and on his again complaining, the foreman came out and made a remark as to some policemen making themselves un- necessarily disagreeable. When he next went by the obstruc- tion had been removed, but it had been placed there every day since. The defendant's foreman stated that the alleged obstruction consisted of a small box, only three inches of which rested on the pavement. Three boards were leaning against this box, projecting a couple of inches more, and there was no drapery whatever on the boards.-Sergeant Wines said he was sure there was brown Holland, or some such fabric, hanging on the boards and ticketed.—Detective Price corroborated Wines, and stated that the box in question oc- cupied 14 inches of the footway, and the rest of it was on the r carriage road, and he had seen it exposed, not only on Satur- day afternoon, but on each day of this week.—Defendant's foreman said, the box complained of by the police on Satur- day was removed within ten minutes after the policeman spoke to him, and it had not been placed out since. What had been noticed by the police on subsequent days was goods just received at the shop, which were left outside for a time before being unpacked.-The Bench said they had already had occasion to inform several tradesmen that they must not make a storehouse of the streets and pavements. The de. fendant must pay the costs, and not obstruct the street again. NON-MAINTENANCE OF A PARENT—Three brothers, John, William, and Richard Jenkins, the last-named of whom did not appear, were summoned by Relieving-ofiicer Wride for not maintaining their father. Mr. Merrils appeared for John, and showed that he had always been willing to pay his share. Richard did not appear. William appeared and pleaded poverty. The Bench made an order on Richard for 2s., John Is. 6d., and William Is. per week. FURIOUS RIDING.-Samuel Wood was fined 10s. and costs for furious riding. It appeared that defendant was a servant to Mr. Marks, of the Windsor Hotel, and en Sunday morn- ing early Sergeant Wines saw a horse ridden by defendant up and down Bute-road. The horse was going very fast, and got on the pavement two or three times. The defence was that the horse was young and wild, and that the defendant did his best to control it. The Bench said the street was not a place to break horses in. THE B UTE ROAB REFRESHMENT HOUSE.-Louis Colbitz, of the refreshment house, 182 Bute road, which was the sub- ject of discussion at the last meeting of the Watch Committee, was charged with allowing prostitutes to remain in his house. Mr. Raby appeared for the defendant. P.C. James deposed that on Friday night at ten o'clock he saw five yrostilutes sitting in defendant's house. He went outside and waited an hour, and then went in again and saw the same five pros- titutes. Mr. Raby argued that the houve was licensed for the very purpose for which these women ^ere there—obtaining refreshments, and unless the Bench ha4 reason to believe that they were there not for refreshments but for purposes of assignation or prostitution, there was no case for him to answer. The Bench thought there was a case, on which Mr. I Raby undertook to show that seven captains of vessels accompanied by a shipbroker, went to the house with six women, and ordered supper. They were told that it would be ready in half an hour. They went out for a while, then returned and ate the supper, and went away. Three wit- nesses were examined for the defence,—John Lidky, ship- broker, John Drunelly, interpreter, and Wm. Daviea, an assistant at the defendant's house. They differed a little as to the time, but concurred in the main fact that the six women came for supper anJ tad to wait a long while before it was ready for them.—Tne Bench said that no doubt there was a good deal of the mischief going on at this house, which the Act of Parliamsnt was intended to prevent; but under the circumstances of this case they could not convict. STEALING A SAIL.-David Walsh, marine store dealer, 31, South William-street, was charged with stealing a sail. Detective Price said that having information of a theft at Watson and Co's timber-yard, he went there, and tound that two pieces of a large sail had been cut off and carried away. On searching for them at the various marine stores, he found one of the missing pieces concealed between the bed and sack- ing in a room in defendant's house, and some of the rope cut from it was in the back yard. Prisoner said he had bought the sail for 8s. from a man named Merrissey. He was re- manded till Monday. Sophia Haynes, 17, Peel-street, was summoned by Ann Drury for an assault. Complainant told a curious story about defendant having dressed in man's clothes, and lain down at her (complainant's) door; and on being remon- strated with for this eccentricity defendant hit complainant. Defendant's story was that the complainant's husband kicked her. A witness called by the defendant confirmed this statement, but reluctantly admitted the truth of the asser- tion about the male attire of the defendant. Defendant was fined 5s. and costs. SATURDAY. (Before Alderman ALEXANDER.) DRUNK.-Patrick John Ford was charged with being drunk and riotous last night on the Canton road, near the Cardiff Arms Hotel. He pleaded that he was a little upsot in his mind," having been turned out of an overcrowded lodging-house by a sergeant man," and being unable to pro- cure other lodgir.gs. Sergeant Wallbridge said, the reason that none of the lodging-houses would take him in was, that he was such a drunken fellow. Fined 5s. J WIFE DESERTION.—-Henry Pound, of Canton, was charged with not maintaining his wife, so that she had had to become an inmate of the workhouse. The defendant was remanded in consequence of the absence of the relieving officer. DEATH OF MR. POWELL'S GAMEKEEPER. A singular and fata) accident happened to the gamekeeper of Mr. Thomas Powell, the well-known colliery propietor, while hunting with his master, in the forest of Old Mar-lodge, Braemar, Scotland, on the evening of Friday week. Mr. Thos. Powell, who reats the shoo'tings from the Eail of Fife, was out deer-stalking in the wilds of Glendee, and having wounded a fine stag, which, however, did not fall, the head gamekeeper, Mr. George Urquhart, ran forward, intending to follow up with another charge. At this moment, however, the stag dropped, and the keeper put down his rifle, advanced to see the animal, when suffering in death pangs, it suddenly kicked against the lock of the loaded piece, which went off, and the ball passed through the body of Mr. Urquhart. The poor fellow only lived an hour, dying in the arms of his master, to whom he was greatly attached. The scene of the sad accident being nearly twenty miles distant from the nearest lodge, and night having come down upon the hunters, Mr. Powell sat by the side of his dead servant till a ghillie ar- rived at the spot, when the two made for home, carrying the body by turns on their back. They were unable, however, to continue their exertions for more than five miles, when they had to lay down their inanimate load and to wait for further assistance. This in a few hours arrived, and the luckless party reached Old Mar-lodge about noon on Saturday. Ur- quhart, who was much respected, was a man in his prime, and his unfortunate fate has caused great regret in the highlands. THE MANHOOD SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT AT J: MERTHYR. The "Merthyr Reform League," a branch of the London Reform League, being about to hold a demon- stration, invited Mr. Bruce, Mr. R. T. Crawshay, and Mr. J. C. Fowler to take part. Mr. Fruce, in reply, wrtes: "I think I shall best advance the cause of that moderate reform which, alone, in my opinion, is either practicable or desirable, if I abstain from attending a meeting, and taking part in a 'demonstration' of an association which assumes, as a fundamental principle of action, that nothing less than manhood suffrage can be accepted." Mr. Crawshay declines attending, and adds, as to the Cyfarthfa band, I cannot see any pos- sible use it would be, and as I only give its services for charitable purposes or something requiring encourage- ment, I must beg of you to excuse me in not granting your request." Mr. Fowler, as a judicial officer, begs to be excused from taking part in a political movement within the limits of his magisterial jurisdiction. ABERDARE BOARD OF HEALTH. At the meeting of this board on Thursday, Mr. R. H Rhys in the chair, a letter was read from Mr. Fisher that in the absence of Mr. Matthews, the Dare Valley Company's solicitor, the difference between them and the board could not be dealt with. The Chairman and one or two of the members having remarked on the letter, it was decided that the Clerk should write and inform Mr. Fisher that the board could not allow any further delay to occur. At the request of the colliers at High Duffryn Colliery, the board consented to give £25 towards the erection of a foot- bridge over the Cynon opposite Abergwawr Colliery, pro- r vided the same be constructed to the satisfaction of the sur. veyor, and that Powell's Duffryn Steam Coal Company give the board a written undertaking that the general public should make free use of the bridge- Mr. Powell having stated that there was a strong proba- bility that the people of iiirwain would abandon the idea of establishing a separate Board of Health, provided the Aber- dare board would erect a few public lamps at that place, it was arranged that upon obtaining a written undertaking the board should at once do this. Printed by Steam power, and published by the sole Proprietor, DAVID DUNCAN, at his General Printing Offices, 10, St. Mary-street, in the parish of St. Mary, in the Borough of Cardiff, in the county of Glamorgan t FRIDAY, OCT. 19, 1866,

DISORDERLY CABMAN.-George Lowther, cabman, was charged with being drunk and fighting at the South Wales Railway station, on the 30th ult. Fined 10s, and costs. DESERTION.—William Southwood, seaman, was charged with neglecting to go on board the ship Royal Family, after signing articles. Remanded to Friday. DESERTION.—-Francis Ferlong and James Stephens, sea- men belonging to the Fidelia, of Newcastle, were charged with deserting the vessel, on Sunday. Ferlong was dis- charged in consequence of his name having been struck out of the articles, and Stephens was sent to prison for fourteen days. REFUSING DUTY.—James Drummond was charged with refusing to do duty on board the Fidelia, on Monday morn- ing, and was sent to prison for a fortnight. MUTINOUS SEAMAN.—William Mackenneth, another sea- man belonging to the Fidelia, was charged with threatening the captain and officers. Ordered to find a bail for £10 to keep the peace for a month,_or in default to be imprisoned for that time. VIOLENT ASSAULTS.—Dennis Regan was chargrd with assaulting Michael Brian and P.O. William Griffiths. Brian stated that about twelve o'clock on Sunday night he was standing in Little Frederick-street, when he made some re- marks to the prisoner, who was quarrelling with some per- son. The prisoner immediately came up and assaulted wit- ness, who received a severe cut over the left eye, and had his face bruised and blackened. P.C. Griffiths said he went to Little Frederick-street, on hearing the disturbance, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner's father-in-law in- cited the crowd who were present to rescue the prisoner, and man a young gave witness a severe blow in the eye. Witness immediately left the prisoner, and ran after the young man. After he had caught the young man, the prisoner came up, and took witness's staff, with which he struck witness a blow on the head that stunned him. Witness remained senseless for some time, but about two o'clock he reapprended the pri- soner. P.C. Crowley said he saw the prisoner assault Brian, and took him into custody. The crowd, however, rescued him from witness's custody. Subsequently P.C. Griffiths came up, and was assaulted as desbribed. The Bench sen- tenced the prisoner to two mouths imprisonment for assault- in" Brian, and two months fyf assaulting P.C. Griffiths, with ha'rd labour.—Cornelius O'OTen, the father-in-law of the last prisoner, was charged with rescuing Regan from the custody of P.C Crowley. The constable said he was kicked several times by the prisoner, who, with the erowd, succeeded in rescuing Regan ftom his custody. Sentenced to one month s • imprisonment. STEALING BEEF. — Thomas Brown was charged with stealing a piece of beef, the property of his employer, Eliza- beth Dowty, who keeps a butcher's shop at the Docks. From the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared that on Thurs- day the prisoner took a piece of meat from a salt meat cask, and carried it into a neighbour's house, where he left it as security for two shillings, which he borrowed. The pri- soner's defence was, that he took the beef at the request of Mrs. Dowty's servant, for the purpose of giving it to her young man, and on his refusing to take it, he (the prisoner) put it in a neighbour's house till he had an opportunity to take it back to the cask. Sentenced to three months' impri- sonment. STEALING BooTS.-Henry Price, shoemaker, was charged with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Richard Wolf. The prisoner was in the shop on Saturday, and after he left the boots were missed, and it was subsequently found that he had pawned them. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and Detective Price having given him a previous good character, the Bench only sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment. DRUNK.—Jane Thomas was fined five shillings and costs or seven days for being drunk in Sophia-street. BROTHEL KEEPING.-Ann Gardner was charged with keeping a brothel. The charge was proved by P.C. James, and as it appeared that the prisoner had been previously cautioned, she was now sent to prison for a month.—Jane Young, for a similar offence was also sent to prison for a month. BEERHOUSE OFFENCE.-Robert Latto, landlord of the Iron Duke beerhouse, was charged with allowing prostitutes to remain in his house for three-quarters of an hour on Wed- nesday night. P.C. James visited the house at ten and a quarter to eleven on that night and found the same women drinking there. He was sure they had not been out of the house during that time. For the defence the servant girl was called to prove that the women went out of the house be- tween the policeman's two visits. Cautioned. BEERHOUSE Row.-Maria Street, a respectably dressed femaie, was charged with assaulting Eliza Biggs, the barmaid at 24, Bute-street. Complainant said that the defendant came into the house on Friday afternoon and had some beer. She soon alter struck witness across the counter, and a row ensued. In cross-examination the witness said there had been ill-feeling between them, but she (witness) did not com- mence the assault by pulling off the defendant's bonnet. A witness was called in proof. Mr. Raby, on behalf of the defendant, said that there had been ill-feeling between ^the parties in consequence of the complainant living with the defendant's brotlier-in-law, who had deserted his wife and family. On Friday the defendant called for some beer, and jocularly asked her brother-in-law who was the landlady. The complainant immediately said she was the "missis," and in a passion pulled off the defendant's hat, when a rpw en- sued. A Mrs. Cummings gave corroborative evidence, and the Bench dismissed the case. ASSAULTs,-Charlotte Guildford was charged with strikT ing Ellen Smith several times with a brush. The row oc- curred about the defendant's child, and the evidence being contradictory, the case was dismissed.—Barbara Williams was charged with assaulting Johannah Warwick, at the Tun. nel, Crockherbtown, on Monday night. The complainant said she was walking along the street, when the defendant came up and struck tier two or three times. Two witnesses saw tbe parties lying in the gutter, but did not see any blows. The complainant's mother stated that the defendant struck her daughter several times. For the defence, Mr. Raby called several witnesses to prove that complainant com- menced the row by pulling the defendant's hair. Dismissed. Complainant: I don't care; its cost her more money than I; she's had to pay the lawyer. TUESDAY. (Before GEO. BIRD, Esq.) DRUNK.—James Williams was fined 5s. A YOUTHFUL TmEF.—Edward Roberts, a respectably. dressed lad of fourteen years, was charged with stealing sixpence. Mr. S. D. Jenkins said the prisoner had been In his empky for about a fortnight. In consequence of 4s. 6d. and other things being missed, witness marked sixpence amongst money in a drawer in the servant's kitchen. It was missed on Monday, and the prisoner was accused of taking it, which he denied, but on being searched the marked six- pence was found in his pocket. As Mr. Jenkins did not wish to press the charge, the Bench dismissed the boy with a caution—the father promising to send him to sea. WEDNESDAY. (Before C. W. DAVID and GEORGE BIRD, Esqs.) STEALING A CAKE.-Two young men named Eli Price and Alfred Dugmore, were charged with stealing a. cake from the pocket of John Latchford, a blacksmith, living in Hodge's-row. The prosecutor was standing at the canal- side on Thursday, with a cake in his pocket, when Dugmore came up quietly, took the cake, and ran away with Price,- Sentenced to seven days' imprisonment each. BITING A MAN'S CHEEK.—Ellen Driscoll, a middle-aged Irish woman, with a child in her arms, was charged with biting John Flvns. in the Hastings Hotel, on Monday. There had been some ill-feeling between the parties-the de- fendant having taken out a summons against Flynn on Monday for breaking her window. Driscoll got drunk on Monday, and when Flynn came into the inn she attacked him, and gave him a bite on the cheek. She was fined 10s. and costs, or seven days, for being drunk and disorderly. THURSDAY. (Before Mr. Alderman DAVID and GEORGE BIRD, Esq.) STEALING MEAT.-Thomas Hutt was charged with steal- ing a joint of meat, and was remanded for further evidence. It appeared that the prisoner and a woman had gone into the shop of Mr. Dolman, butcher, Bute-terrace, and on their going out the woman had a leg of mutton concealed under her shawl. They separated, the prisoner telling the woman to make haste away. Each of them was followed; the woman, finding the theft discovered, gave up the meat. The prisoner was given into custody. WAGES CASE.—Captain Warren, of the Cyrus, of Glou- cester, was summoned for 9s. by a little boy. It appeared that the boy had left the ship before his month was up, in- stead of going on to Waterford. The Bench advised the defendant to pay the money and let the boy go, as he did not seem likely to be of any use to the vessel. Defendant complied and paid the amount, the Bench remitting the costs. A DISCREDITABLE TRANSACTION.—Elizabeth Williams, decent looking girl, was charged with stealing a watch and Albert chain from the person of William 'league, an assistant in an ironmonger's shop in St. Mary-street. The parties had been in company last night at a beerhouse near the tunnel, Crockherbtown, and Teague subsequently repre- sented to the police that he had been in a bedroom with the girl, who was one of leose character, and that during their interview she had stolen his watch and chain. The girl pro- tested her innocence,, but was locked up for the night. On theXsase being called Teague did not appear, but had sent to say that he had made a mistake in fancying himself robbed, for he had found the watch in an inner pocket. The girl was at once discharged, without, so far as appeared, any com- pensation or apology on the part of Teague for the false im- putation and detention he had caused her.
