South Wales Daily News Ojjice, 4.30 a.m. THE WAR IN THE EAST. c THE CAMPilGN IN ASIA. PROPOSED MARCH THROUGH ASIA ON SCUTA Ill. [" STANDARD TELEGHAM.] YJEEAN KALEH, Monday.—Among the officers rho compose the Russian headquarters the question a being earnestly discussed of a westerly march tcross Asia against Constantinople. A great Council of War was held, yesterday, at Jars, when one of the ablest of the Russian generals, Philippoff, very energetically advocated lie idea of a march westwards with a large army trough Asia Minor to Scutari. General Philippoff, who has a most intimate tcquaintance with Asia Minor, urged that Erze- 'oum should be covered by a corps of observation, md not surrounded with a view to a siege. General Loris Melikoff has undertaken the com- nand of the forces at Erzeroum, whither he set out uddenly yesterday. Seventeen thousand men will be detached from lie army of Kara, and forwarded to assist in the iege of Plevna.

THE PLAN OF ATTACK. VBIIAN KALEH, Monday Night.—The plan for he storming of Kars was prepared by General joris Mjlikoff, who on the first investment of the ity caused the assault to be made by a simul- aneous, concentrated attack upon the south, east, hcl west.

ILUSSI.-vN MILITARY PROJECTS. [':MAN*ci!Evn:n GCAKUIAX" TELEGRAM] Vienwa, Tuesday Night.—On the day after the storming of Kars 15,000 Russians advanced to- wards Erzorouin to complete the investment. It 13 believed that Erzeroum cannot hold out longer than a fortnight, being short of. provisions for 60,000 inhabitants and Moukhtar's 20,000 soldiers. Advices from Bucharest state that at the Russian headquarters it is intended, after the fall of Plevna, to force the Balkans for an advance on Adrianople two divisions of Grenadiers, the 3rd Division at. the Guards, and the 8th Corps, the 24th and 26th Divisions, and a. Roumanian division, together 60.000) rnftn.

THE CAlPAIGN"m"]TlJIlOPI'. THE STRUGGLE AT PLEVNA. INTERVIEW WITH MEHEMET ALI. 1STANDAltD TELEGRAMS. 1 SOPHIA, Monday.—I have had a long interview with Mehemet Ali Pasha, who eagerly applied for ^formation respecting the topography of the road to ?levr»r. He observed that the fact of Ohcfket Pasha's march to the relief of the beleaguered town having been undisturbed, was due to his (Mehemet Ali) Imving drawn the serious attention of the -Russians towards the Jantra by his offensive move- ment. He appears to count upon the next reliev- In;?; movement being similarly facilitated. Mehemet Ali made light of the newspaper rumours about the Rijgslans concentrating 70,000 men at Sistova for the invasion of Roumelia before the winter they are fully occupied, he says, with Plevna. The gallant General does not believe in Servian interference this year. Nevertheless he left Hafiz Pasha,whose dash and bravery were so well illustra- ted last year,with sufficient forces at Novi Bazar to assume the offensive against tiie Servians if that should be thought desirable presently. Mehemet Ali considers the Russian advance on Berkovata to have been objectless, unless they de- sired to procure rations from a regi-on that had not previously been ravaged. He insisted that the operations now contem- plated r-nuire much rejection and prudence. Several days must elapse before the necessary re- inforcements, many of which-have to come from remove parts, can arrive. He stated that he re- tains his command against Montenegro, and has O&ly come here to put things right. Tqe weather is bright and frosty.

THE RUSSIANS AND SHERE ALL ["STANDARD" TELEGRAM.] FKANKFOKT, Tuesday.—The Russian Govern- ment has sent instructions to its diplomatic agent at Cubul to inform Shere Ali immediately of the fall of Kars.

GOSSIP FROM VIENNA. A correspondent at Vienna writes to the Dailp Tele- araph :—The capture at no distant date of Osmau Pasha and his army, estimated at about 45,000 j men, is at head-quarters here looked on as a certainty. It is further anticipated that after the fall of Plevna General Gliourko, at the head of half the ltussiaii army in Bul- garia, will proceed across the Balkans to Adriauopie, and there take up his winter quarters. The occupation of Erzeroum by the Russians also enters into the calcula- tion of the Austrian Government; but there is nothing in all this, should it be borne out by events, that will disturb the equanimity of Austria. I am told that no later than yesterday Count Andrassy de- j clared that. even in pre^noe of the 1 above circumstances, Austrian interests would not to be endangered. It is fully recognised that the fall of Kars and the eventual capture of Erzeroum must af- fect England to the same extent as a successful attack on Serajevo and Mostar would affect Austria. But there is little chance of the Herzegovinian and Bosnian fortresses being comprised in the field of future operations, and still less of Austria's moving a linger to thwart the 'for- ward march of the invading army in the opposite direc- tion. At tho same time there is a remote possibility that is said to trouble Austria's peace of mind —namely, a direct understanding between the belligerents. The ques- tion, as 1 informed you last week, has for some little time been discreetly mooted in official quarters, and to-day it is hotly discussed in the pres. The semi-official journals are indignant at the idea, and warn Hussia that Europe would immediately lose patience were such a thing attempted. Of course there is no serious ground of apprehension as regards a separate treaty of peace between Russia and the Porte. In the meantime there are no symptoms of a speedy termination to the campaign either m Asia or Europe. The Russians declare they intend establishing themselves permanently at Kars and Erzeroum, and perhaps some- what prematurely speak of turning to the best account the railroad from Smyrna, via Bagdad, to India, pro- jected by an English company. Advices from Warsaw state that an Army of Reserve is in course of formation, as it is foreseen that ere Russia I attains her end, she may have to encounter other troops besides those of the Sultan.

THE RUSSIANS AT ERZEROUM; IBEUTBR'S telegram, i Esa-muM, Monday.-—Some rifle shots were ex- hanged yesterday between the Turkish sentinels lid the enemy in the neighbourhood of Mouduske. he Turkish cannonade compels the Hussian3 to vacriate the entrenching work which they are con- tracting to the south of Eraerouin. Some detach- ments of Russian cavalry are observed patrolling he plains in various directions.

On Monday last, Salem Pasha, with seven battalions of infantry, eight guns, and four squadrons of cavalry, together with all the Circassian cavalry commanded by Bilaver Pasha, left Leilek and '"arched in the direction of Pyrgos, with the object of reconnoitering the Russian positions on the Yantra and the headquarters of tho Czarewitch. Salem Pasha carried and destroyed the first and second Russian lines of entrenchment, driving out tho enemy by the point of the bayonet. A consi- derable number of Russians were killed. At the 1 time the second infantry regiment, under Ibrahim ha, carried the Russian fortification on the M uchka ht: dita after a desperate struggle.and destroyed 70 casemates containing ammunition, war material, and provisions.

A ROUMANIAN VICTORY [KEUTEIt'S TUXEGUAJr.J BCCBAKEST, "Wednesday.—-The Bomansd, of this evening, announces that. at nine o'clock this morn- ing the Roumanians captured the town of Rahova, n the Ptiiiube, after an Oigagement lasting three ;}j')¡y.s.. The Turks made their escape in the direc- tion of Lom. Palonka. aud Widdia. and are being ¡ mcd by the Roumanians. Simultaneously with the capture of Rahova, the Loupo Division crossed the Danube opposite that town. Great enthusiasm prevails amongst the Roumanian troops in conse- quence of this success. The losses sustained by the Roumanians are not yet known.

PEACE PROSPECTS. PESTII, Tuesday.—Russia having rejected every attempt as mediation, the neutral Powers do not consider the full of Kars as a favourable occasion to propose to interfere. The fear of Russian aggrandisement is increasing in Hungary. The public journals exhort the Government to put no trust in the pretended moderation of Russia, but urge that it should issue from its reserve and aid the Turks who in Europe are defending the interests of Au«tro-Hungary, and in Asia those of England. YIENNA, Tuesday.—It is noteworthy that the Ministerial FremdenUatt te-day opposes the idea of a separate peace between Turkey and Russia, very forcibly saying that Europe' during the last fifty years has learned that such a peace weuld be tantamount to changing Turkey into a Russian vassal State. It is unnecessary to explain that such a solution of the Eastern question must be prevented by all means, and that it could not even be a matter for discussion in Austria. BUCHAREST, Tuesday.—With regard to the latest peace rumours, the Czar has declared that the times pre too serious to dare to jest upon such a subject.

THE PEACE PARTY AT CONSTANTINOPLE. PEBA, Tuesday—We have just heard here that "Kars has fallen, and that the capture of Erzeroum is expected to follow. The Porte now appears to be desirous of entertaining proposals of peace. Server Pasha, the Foreign Minister, and Malunoud Damad are said to be more favourable to peace.

SECRET SOCIETIES IN SPAIN. It is stated ia a letter from Sanian ler that one of those reckless and barbarous but premf-diiatei crimes which dismay by the. mystery that shrouds thorn, and point to eeoret and malevolent association, has been perpetrated there. On the ight of the lfi.h Inst., about ten o'clock, a loud explosion occurred in the home of a baker named Santiago Gonzalez, in ore of tho principal streets, which wrecked it,br.dee the windows of neighbouring tene- sand was heard at a distance like the report of cannon. At the moment, the muster of the establishment,his sister, and another ptrson were seated in a room next to the bakc-ry, where the taevi preparing the dough for the oven. The master was stcmned hy the fall of the ceiling, and the woujan was striotisly injured. A general panic seized all the inmates of the hons,>, which rcn- sust-jd of lour etorr-ys, and while a number rushed down the stairs, some of which were m ruin*, others escaped from the first floor by a laddei placed by some neighbours against a window. The civil governor of the province and a mtmW of offi -Sals, with 111": Major and Judge of Kiut Instance, accompanied by gendarrr.es and pjlicemer quickly on the spot, but it is not expected that the authors of this diabolical act will be discovered. This ill the sixth attempt that hafl been made within the l»ot L vrj yt ar* to blow up the bakeries of persons who have made thuniselres obnoxious to the secret societies by lowering the price of their bread, and as yet justice has been w»sequal to the task of discovering and punishing tha crimirals.

REMEDIES FOR INDIAN FAMINES. A good company assembled at the first meeting of the season of the Colonial Institute, held at the Pall Mall, Regssit-fetreet. London, when a paper was read by ( Mr. R. If. Elliot, on "Indian Famines, and how to modify tb causes tha1; lead to them." He commenced by shewing H.at, taking into account the increase of t'lC peop], tha fimmeial condition vf india i such cliat it mast, eventually be unable to meet tho cost of famines. The,population of India. is now at lefcst 2-j0,000.000, is increasing at (he rate of 1 per confr. otr atrium, and would in 8'i years amount to about 530,000,000 With these vast numbers before us, Mr. Elliot had no hesitation in saying that, whatever we may be able to do at prceent or in the immediate future in meeting famines as they arise, it is impassible that we can for long con- tinue to cio so. The public was annually told that ia rOll!!d numbers the revenue of India amounta to about and it* is raturally supposed that this great sum it. annually paid into the Indian treasury by the of lnria; but tba.t was net the case, and in L fact the revenues on which we can perma. nently rely amouut to little nioie than £38,000,000, including eight and a half millions from opium. Even with the aid of the precarious opium revenue Iwdia, as at present adminiljtore(jj can pay its way. He be- lieved that the opium revenue 'would go as soon as the Ciiirsse discovered that public opinion here would not sa iction another opium war. But whether this be so or uot, it v.as impossible to contemplate tisafc India can for long continue to pay tor thef»mineg 0f ^he future. The pjint, then, to consider was whether railways, canals, and irrigation were likely to nfip us Otlt of onr j;attrrn diffi- culties Mr. Elliot of opinion that no effectual aid was to be expscted fr ■;>' theee sources. Nevertheless, he had no hesitation in Ktying that much can be done it W turn pur attention to the land and to the people and to measures which will the better enable them to do ius" ce to the soil and improve their general prosperity The first thing to be done in Mr. Elliot's cpiu}on £ as lo provide tenures that will attract to the land as much s.ipital as possible. At present the tenures were such as t,) repel it. In consequence of the aid afforded by onr law the useful and necessary c'ass of Indian money. Under* have been turned into bitter opptesaora of the cultivating classes, and so rapidly has tho ruin of the ter been accomplished that much land has been, and Is VJW being tranpferied to the money-lender.

The' end is that t.ie land JQ worse position than it was before, because tho farmer is less able to do it justice, Now. if there fi\ a and certain rftinro. to he obtained from Vnrted improvements the transfer of a sfrtain proportion of the soil would be good for tI- e country, because the i^oney^d classes would be only too glad to iavest in it if they could clearly see their way aud thi, remark applied to all the better classes farmers. In the first place, then, every tenure should declare a rate beyond which th (Government demand is nut to 1*0 hi any fntnre lease, ana the rate of enhance- ment should be very moderate. In the second place, the tenure uhould declare that if the occupant brings the land irrigation by digging weils or making a tank he and his heirs should have a fee-simple tenure at the existing rate of assessment- c;, condition that the irrigation work he kept in thorough repair. f1' Elliot went on to advocate the amendment of the laws whioh press heavily on the indebted cultivator, aud ;j?e rr,eTenti°nof the breaking up of grmw jHnds un- I--S vlioie siioh were clearly m of require- ments o- the country. fte dwelt on the importance of forests and tree planting, which had hitherto bten greatly negleoteu, and strongly advocated the purchase of tho Indian railways by the State. He was of opinion also hat it was advisable togtve a B»tish gnarantee for Indian liabilities, and be deprecated the unjust charts mtema- tically thrust on to India by the Eiigijsh TJe-isury. example India pays a proportion of the charges of Yn 'jl»h depots of regiments serving ,n India, and^e-third of the coat of tho Chinese Mission, and £ 42 000 I\ the Persian Mission, which was under tbe'direot n ntml of the Crown. She paid largely to tho expense of t\t Abyssinian war, with which she had uothing to do • i a variety of other burdens were imposed on her in "his opinion unjustly. He urged a reform in the native army, r.nd considered thit there were three ways of solv- tag the question. The fjrt, and he thought the best, was to bring about a federation of States, and ally the princes with us in the government of a United Indian Empire; the eecond WaS to make them reduce their forces the third, to make them contribute towards the cost of keeping the peace, which was now entirely thrown on our own subjects. Mr. Emiot in conclusion, suggested a slight increase to the import dntie, and complained of the ) olicy ol Lord Salisbury in proposing to abolish those duties which fell chiefly un tbe rich instead of lowering the duty on salt, which was of great importance to tha Decile uf India, both for themselves and their cattle-

SIR W. LAWSON AT NOTTINGHAM. Speaking at a crowded meeting in Nottingham,on Wed- nesday night, in support of the Permissive Bill, Sir Wilfrid Lawson said he had heard it stated that politics were dead in England, but ho should be as-hamed of his countrymen if be thought they were dead to injustice and wrong. He believed that 60 long as any legislative iniquity was pointed out to them, so long would people combine to remove it. He thought if the meeting took up the question of the evening as a political one, making their power felt, they would be promoting the moral and material welfare of the country.

A NEW TERRITORY QUESTION. Petition?, says the Melbourne Argut, go home by the mail to the British Government praying for the aunexa- tion of the New Hebrides Islands, No large expense is contemplated. The group is adjacant to Fiji, and can be easily governed from that dependency. Two or three white men on land and an occasional visit from the cruisers on the station would suffice to guard against the contin- gency 'which is anticipated, viz., the extension of the penal settlements of the French nation in this direction. It is a national misfortune to Australia that New Cale- donia was ever allowed to be occupied as a convict colony. AU that remains is to prevent the evil from spreading. The French extended their possessions from New Caledonia to the Loyalty Islands, and we now have authentic reports from the missionaries that they are proceeding in their old manner to absorb the New Hebrides, which lie next on their maroh. Tins magnificent group would be their most important possession. It con- tains the linest harbours in Polynesia, and its inhabitants have been civilised and rendered tractable by English efforts,and they areas eager to welcome our flag as they are determined to resist the French. Without laying down' any doctrine that Australasia as well as Australia be- longs to the British Empire, wo may assert that the Em- pire is too deeply interested in this quarter of the globe to regard with indiíferewe the spicaaof penal gettlements in its midst. The objection is not to the tiioolour, but to the yellow flag,

A NEW ROUTE TO IRELAND. By the opening of the (lirvan and Portpatrick Railway, which places the port of (Stranraer in direct communica- tion with Glasgow, a new and expeditious route has been opened up between the Scotch oommercial centre and the principal towns in the north and east of Ireland. For 'some time past a fervice of steamers has been run- nin daily between L/arne and Stranraer, in connection with trains on the London and North Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire systems,and from the advantage the ronte possesses of being the shortest of the gea passages between Great Britain and Ireland, it haa become a favourite one with travellers. Hitherto, communication with Glasgow has been carried on by the roundabout journey via Dumfries, and in proportion to the growth of the traffic on the rout", the want of a quicker meaus of transit has been increasingly felt. Hence the projection of the Girvan and Portpatrick Hailway, the completion of which brings Stranraei within a two hours' railway journey of the Scotch commercial metropolis. The trip from Glas- gnw to Belfast may now he performed in less than eight hours, and that to or from Dnblin in 14 hours, and the times of departure are so arranged tbat for 11 months in the yesr the sea passage is accomplished by daylight. Two hours md a ha.1f only are occupied in crotsing the Channel, and 40 minutes of this is lotigh sailing. At Htranraer, as well as at L ure, the train runs alongside the steamer, and the company have made arrangements both for tbrono h .booking over the principal Enliøh and Irish lines, and for the running of through carriages, by ex press trains, from and to Loudon, Glasgow, Dublin, &-?. The acceleration of the ten-ice will, it is expected, lead to the de-tpatch of two mails a-day between Scotland and Ireland.

BANKRUPT CONVICTS. At the Bankruptcy Court, London, yes(erd»y, the con- vict Iknson was brought before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt at a private Bitting in his bankruptcy, which tock place under the assumed name of Yonge, otherwise Montague. The prisoner, manacled both hatd and foot, was in the cur-tody of two warders of Newgate, and a sufficient bcdy of police were stationed at the doors of the court to fiu<-t;ate any attempt at escape should •such be made. He seemed to treat the matter very lightly and, after the examination was over, appeared much amus d at the anxiety of the crowd to see him. He waa taken from the court to Newgate, The case of Edward Saffery, who is now undergoing imprisonment for his connection with the Artisans' Dwellings Fraud,was before Mr. Registrar Munay,in the Bankruptcy Court, yesterday. The bankrupt, who is described as formerly of King-street, Cheapside. and late of 17, Kssex-sfcrcet, StraEd, auctioneer, was adjudicated pn the 12th of September, on the petition of Mr. J. G. Andrews, of Carlisle-street, Edgware-road, a creditor for £-i50, -being the amount of commission in respect of the aula of an eetate known as the Harrow-road Estate." At the first meeting of the creditors debts to the amount of £1,(;9;) wire proved,and Mr. C. Hall was appointed trustee, with a committee of inspection. Upon the case being called Mr. Dunn,on behalf of the trustee, said that the bankrupt was now a convict at Coldb&th-fields,undergoing imprison- mjnc for fraad.—Lu teply to the learned Registrar, Mr. Dunn H1.ld he believed that notice bad been served on t.ie officials to produce Saifery for public examination.— Ihq Registrar said that it did not appear from the pro- ceeaings that proper notije had been served".—The solicitor on behalf of ths petitioning creditor said that no acoomits had been filed.—The Registrar eaid it was n iraly possible ft;r a man who was detained in custody to U:e aocoucls, seeing that he was unable to get at his books ana papers. The sitting wcnld be adjourned.

Jly attention'to ttfs fact that Viscount Hinton is playing at the MetropoUtan Music Hall, under the r,ame of Ootman, There is nothing novel in that. Mr, Coeman, who, by the by, is grandson of a Landport pilot, as well as lion of Earl Ponlett, was engaged years ago at the Surrey Theatre as a clown. He is a good average professional pantomimist. The Viscountess w as cnce a ballet dancer, ar;d is not ashamed ot it, nor has she reason to be. I wish them both success. Colorel Baker has no command in the Turkitli army, ouly in the gendarmerie. in action he advises the dilferent commanders what conree to pursue, often leading chen-geo of wavering regiments himself. He and Colonel Bris. oe, loih Hussais, who, with him, has bteii foremost in the reoont lighting about Schumla, have a very poor opinion of the fighting powers of the Turkish cavalry—the mere appearance of a bold front, causing them io waver, and a charge scattering them before contact. Cardinal Cullcn is at last & invert to Home Rule. When Mr. King Harman was a candidate for the city of Dublin on Heme Itule piii.ciples pure and simple, his Kiiiinence went down to the polling-booth to vote against, him in all the state of a prince of the Church, and Mr. King naiman wa.s dcfoftlcd. A few years afterwards the Cardinal voted for another Heme Rule candidate, and went to the bCiJth in state. But then the Home Rule: simd adopted the lush Catholie University progrsrome. By the influence of bis Emirence, tho Home Etde question is now to be made a. test one lor the Dublin municipal elections, The Cardinal s candidate* are all Home Itulers, but they also go in for lush Catholio University Education authorised a.nd supported by the State. Tbe two questions are and will be inseparable, until some astute Minister dishes the Home Ilulers, giving his Eminence icason to drop them. Considerable surprise has been caused by Sir Charles Tempest having instituted a suit in the Divorce Comt against his wife and Mr. Ilungerford, the co-respondent in the case. Ijir Charles, as is well known, belongs to an old Korean Catholic family.and in bis(Churcb the divorce of uian and wife is not allowed on any grounds whatever; or rather, cp Roman Catholic can marry again if divorced, nor can one of that faith be united to a person who is divorced, provided the hruband or wife of the latter ia alive So much so is this tbe casa that in some Quarters—the wish being father to the tale- it has leen 8/i.id that, sooner than remain un- married, bir Charles, who is only forty, three of age, intends to become a Protean But the facts of the cale ate these.

I PROPOSED DINNER TO MR PAUNELL- [FUOM A SPECIAL As hrioSy statod in our issue of Monday, a proposal has been made to give Mr H. Parnell, Llanstephan, a public dinner at Carmarthen, as some sligLt acknow- ledgement of his great public services and active benevo- lence. A private meeting of gentlemen interested in the matter was hell at the Ivy Buah Iloyrd Hotel on Mon- day evening, and of that meeting a report so unfair, so malicious, and so distorted has been published in our Tory contemporary that we feel called upon—though it is against our rule to report private weetings-to give a statement of what really occurred, and of the facts of the case. The motives which led to the misrepresentations, which we propose to expose, ai'e obvious. The borough of Carmarthen at the last election proved itself thoroughly Liberal, and our contemporary perhaps imagined that an insult to Carmarthen, jvs represented by its Mayor and leading inhabitants, would be an insult to the Liberal party there. It perhaps also believed that, could the movement to do honour to Mr Parnall be represented as partisan, Nonconformist, and savouring of clique, the ex-High Sheriff would become disgusted with the whole affair, would refuse to attend, and thus a "snubbing." over which our contemporary could rejoice, vvonldba administered to the Liberals and Nonconformists of the town. We trust that in both these expectations our Tory contemporary is a little too sanguine. The ftory published by our contemporary, and elaborated with all that ingenuity of misrepresentation and genius for inaccuracy undisputed, needs only a statement of facts to refute it. Using the words of Prince Hal, we can say. 'V'.Iark, now, how plain a, ta'e shall put yon down." First, as to the character of the meeting. It was not, as our contemporary insinuates, either a Liberal or a Tory meeting exclusively. Of those present, fully a third were Tories; of the eight gentlemen whose names were adhibited to the private circular calling the meeting, threejvre Conservatives, and all are Churchmen. Those facts dispose, we think, pretty conclusively of the alleged Radical and partisan theory. Next as to the meeting itseif. What took place was simply this It was decided, "first an i unanimously, that a dinner or luncheon should be'given to Mr Parneil, as a recogni- tion of Ids public services and private worth next, the question arose whether the repast should be a dinner or a luncheon. Many gentlemen, amongst whom was one —a Conservative, by the way—whom our contemporary accuses of more than aldermanie gluttony, were in favour of a dinner, as it was felt that a cold collation would be a formal, stiff, and ceremonious affair; while the desire was to give Mr Parnall a hearty and friendly token of esteem. The question was, after an amicable discussion, decided in favour cf dinner accordingly, and then arose the difficulty as to the invita- tions, of which our contemporary attempts to make so much. There was never manifested the slightest wish to exclude "the county gentlemen," in whose behalf our contemporary makes so virtuously sarcastic, but it was quickly found that the invitations must, if necessary, be confined to tbe town. The dining-room at the Bush Hotel can only comfortably accommodate some 70 or SO guests, if the gentlemen present at the meeting (over 40) intimated their intention to be present, it was known that, at least, so many more town gentlemen who were not present would desire to be at the dinner, and it was therefore obvious, that from considerations of space alone, the invitations could not be extended to the county, and it was thereupon resolved that the dinner should be given by the Borough of Carmarthen solely. This statement of facts, there- fore, at once disposes of the assumption as to Liberal illiuerality and narrow-mindedness. The fact shortly stated is that there will not be enough room for the re- presentatives of the borougli, and that, therefvr", to ask representatives of the county to attend, would be a mere mockery. One other lnuendo we will deal with. O-ur Tory contemporary, with the delicate appreciation of the mode of conducting a controversy amongst gentlemen which distinguishes it, ob serves :—" It was rather remarkable that those pre- sent (14 gentlemen who put down their names for a guinea ticket a piece for the corning dinner) were almost the same persons whom Mr Parnell invited to a dinner which he gave in Carmarthen not long ago." We admit the fact; to a certain extent the gentlemen were the same but we see nothing "remarkable" in the circumstance, except that it has been made the peg on which our con- temporary could hang an ill-bred inuendo. Mr Pamell at his dinner issued invitations, as sheriff, to the public and representative men of the town. What more natural than that when the town desires to do honour to Mr Parnell its public and representative men should take the lead. Surely, in no mind but that of a Tory journalist would the idea that, because a din- ner has been er.ten,a dinner must be returned, have ever entered. In this case the insinuation is alike gratuitous j and insulting.

CARDIFF CHAMBEB" OF COMMERCE? The monthly meeting of the Cardiff Chamber of Com- merce was held 011 Wednesday, the President (Mr Evan Lewis) in the chair. There were present also—Colonel C. H.

The following papers were laid 011 the table Report from the committee of inquiry into the "Money-order system of the Post-office into the proposed scheme of Post-office notes, and as to postal drafts payable to order, together with minutes of evidence, appendix, and index; report of the spccial meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, held at Hull on the 11th and 12th September, 1877 report from Her Majesty's Con- suls on the manufactures, commerce, &c., of their consular districts, Part 5: The York and Antwerp Rules of General Average aud report of the Association for the Reform and Codification of the Law of Nations. Two circular letters were read from the Association of Cham- bers of Commerce, one on the subject of the Swiss tariff, the other asking that copies of any resolutions pro- posed to be brought forward by this chamber be sent up in time to be inserted in the official virogramme, to allow time for proper consideration by all the chambers before attending the conference, GKN'ERAL AVERAGE A"1) THE TOKK-ANTWERP lil'IJiS. Mr E. H. CAPPER moved the following resolution on this subject:—"That this chamber take such steps as may be deemed advisable to co-operate with the London and Liverpol committees, which have been formed for the purpose of inducing the Legislature to make the York-Antwerp llules law. Most of the members, he said, were aware with what intention and with what view meetings at York and Antwerp were held with particular reference to general average. Among the various mercantile nations of Europe the custom with regard to general average varied very widely. To take a very extreme case, let them suppose a steamer taking a cargo to half-a-dozen different ports in the Mediterranean, and bound to Alexandria. Supposing she committed an act of general average at each port—it was possible she misrht do so at two or three—no existing custom would probably be found alike, and she might finally hand over to the owners of her cargo half-a-dozen different statements of general aver. age, all constructed on a different basis. At the meeting at York it was extremely difficult to get the German and the English interests to approach. At Antwerp a set of rules was, however^ drawn up, em- bodying, as nearly as possible, the best views of 1877 on the subject. Lloyd's representative on their behalf ob- jected to the average altogether on the ground that every sacrifice ought to be a particular average on that particu- lar interest. Lloyd's were the only objectors. But it would be said that it was very easy to pass a set of rule3 at Antwerp and see that they were agreed to unani- mously by the representative body; but unless the various countries interested would pass an Act compelling every- body to settle averages happening in their own country according to that sot of rules, nothing further was done. To follow up the steps taken at the Antwerp congress, committees bad now been formed in London and Liver- pool, to endeavour to induce the Government to bring forward, ft Bill, or take steps towards making the York-Antwerp rides law. After reading some personal communications he had received on the subject to the effect just stated, Mr Capper [proceeded that it was not likely, the Cardiff Chamber being a small body, that they could do anything great in tnis direction, but, sup- posing evidence to be wanted as to tlie grievances ship- owners now suffered, and the difficulty of bringing together so many heads under one hat, he thought they could not do better than write to the Liverpool and Lon. don committees offering their services if they were re- quired. Mr J. H. WILSOX, who SCCOjlaea, said he had much ¡ pleasure in so doing. The subject was most important as affecting the interests of members of the Chamber. They could not do better than take an active part in affording the committees all the assistance in their power. Colonel PACE observed that the case of the steamer calling at different ports mentioned by Mr Capper was of course a very extreme one of the sort not likely to occur here. Many difficulties of this kind were avoided by the insertion in the charter of the stipulation that the general average should be according to British law and custom. Mr CAI'I ER agreed. But the necessity of the insertion of r-uoh a clause proved the need of the establishment of a standard general average. He agreed that a. merchant could protect himself, but the need of his taking this course would be done away by the adoption of the York- Antwerp rules. Colonel PAGE said his object was not to take exception to tne resolution, for he thought it.dt-sirabie that it should be carried. Mr CAPPER, at the suggestion of several members, added to the resolution a direction to the secretary to communicate with the two committees with a view to tendering them such general services as it was in the power of the chamber to give. The resolution was put and carried unaniiuousiv. DOCK P.XTEXSION. Colonel PAGE said it mnt be satisfactory to this cham- ber, rfter it had undertaken such vigorous, though unsuc- cessful, 5. action with Lord Bute 3 trustees, to find that the Penarth Company were going to apply next Session to Parliament iov powers for dock extension, and the Glamorgan Canal Navigation Company had ahu given notice of the same intention. He made the observation that these two projects were on foot, because he bad heard it remarked that, because of the general depression in trade, some people thought it was quite unnecessary to launch nev/schemes. He Loved the opinion would "go forth from this chamber, that the trade of the port was not to be judged of by a mere temporary dt pression. Although the depression of trade was, and had been, considerable, it was not so much in quantity as in prices that it was felt. The (shipments were still very large, and before this increase of docks could be made, no doubt trade would require it. Speak- ing as one of the dock committee, he might say that they wc-ro still watching with a great deal of interest v.-ha,t was taking place in that direction. ) I The CHAIRMAN 8¡¡.jd that in the early part of the r shipments of coal were larger than during any pr'i'ious I year. yev-i.ral members expressed their agreement with the observations of Colonel Page.

THE hOlK OF THE ilEDWELLTY SCHOOL BOARD- On Wednesday the members of the Bedwellty School Board opened three of their schools. Two of them have recently been enlarged and materially altered to meet the educational requirementa of the district of Rhymney. The third school is at New Tredegar, and this has also been enlarged, and a schoolmaster's house connected therewith. The schools have been purchased by the board at a total cost, including the alterations, of £ 1,620, exclusive of extras incurred by alterations of contract. Thus accommodation for about 959 children has been provided. Among those present at the opening meetings were Mr j R. Laybourne (chairman), Mr Llewellyn P. Jones, Mr E. Davies, Mr J. Pritchard, and the Revs. T. T. Jonei and G. Owen. Mr Laybourne presided at the Rhymney Upper school, Mr Llewellyn P. Jones at the Lower Rhymney, aval the Rev G. Owen at the New Tredegar school. A number of speeches were made, and one of the speakers said that the-hoard would have to expend a sum of £ 38,000 or £ 40,000 before ample piovision wonld be supplied to meet the educational requirements of so ex- tensive a district. The parents were asked to assist the board in carrying out the object of the Education Act, by ending their children regularly to school, so as to ensure the annual grants from the Government. Those who spoke were Mr Laybourne, Mr Edward Davies, the Rev. T. T. Jones, E.O.b., Messrs T. Lloyd, Ebbw Vale; J. Pritchard, Ebbw Yale W. Pritchard; Revs T. E. Edwards, T. Rees, It. Thomas, and J. D. Thomas, Rhymney; a.nd Messrs T. Thomas, R. Laine, aid J. P. Jones, New Tredegar. At the con- clusion of the opening the children of the various schools were regaled with tea and cake, supplied by voluntary subscriptions. Mr Blessley (of Cardiff), the school board architect, and Mr Regis, the clerk of the works, were present.

ALARMING FIRE*AT A CHEMIST'S SHOP AT CRICKHOWELL. On Monday evening a fire took place in the shop of Mr Robert Harris, chemist, Crickhowell. He was mix- ing horse powders (which contained nitre of sulnhur and antimony). Mr Martin, grocer, was in tbe shop at the time, and not knowing the danger of these combustibles, lit a piece of paper, and a spark went into the powder and ignited it. The door was, happily, open, and Mr Martin and Mr Stephens, who was ah-,) in the shop, ran out at once, the latter being burnt on the face and on the back of the head. Mr Harris was also burnt on the face, and in attempting z, to extinguish the fire burnt bis hands very severely. Mr Harris then left the shop by the side door to get water, and in the meantime a carboy, containing six gallons of acid, burst, by which means the greater portion of the fire was quenched, and water, which was immediately brought, extinguished the rest. The fire only lasted about 10 minutes. Nearly every bottle and class case were destroyed, and the shop windows were cracked, while the counters and fixtures are completely charred. The damage is estimated at about £ 500.

ACTION AGAINST THE TAFF YALE RAILWAY COMPANY. His Honour, Judge 1* alconer, and a jury were engaged at the Merthyr County-coul't O-L, NVedues(lay -ii hearing an action brought by Messrs llahesey, rag and bone mer- chants, Merthyr, against the Taff Vale Railway Company. Mr W. Simons (Simons and Plews) appeared for the plaintiffs, and the defendants were represented by Mr Stephens, Caruiff. The plaintiff claimed 1:23 damages for non-delivery of 20 bags of cloth rags, consigned by him to the defendants for delivery by them to W. H. Iiose. Bristol. The evidence showed tint on the 14th December, 1876, plaintiff filled three railway trucks at the^ Taff Yale Company's Merthyr Station with bags of rags. Two of the trucks were laden respectively with 17 and 24 bags, and these bags contained an inferior quality of rags-known as land rags," used as manure. Ihese were consigned to a Mr Schumann, for shipment to Germany. The third truck contained 20 l-a^s of cloth rags, and were consigned to a Mr Rose, Bristol. 1 his truck was sent to London in error, and one of those containing the inferior rags sent to Rose instead. As they were of no use to Rose, lie refused to take them aud they still remain at the Bristol Station, the railway charges oil them for storage, &c., being greater than their actual value. The value of the 20 bags of rags consigned to Rose was £19 2s Gd, at the rate of £7 10s "per ton but those sent him and refused are only worth £1 58. In cross-examination, Mr Stephens endeavoured to elicit from Mr Henry Francis Hallesey, and one of bis em- ployes who loaded the waggons, that it was their duty to place a label on the waggon, and to place the number of the waggons on the consignment note. This they con- tended was not their duty, and it was sworn that the company's officials were told that the truck containing the 20 bags was the one for Bristol. It was elicited that the plaintiff gave the Railway.Company no intimation of the truck having gone astray until February, av"r this, Mr Stephens contended, was not what he should have done. Immediately he discovered that a mistake had been made, he bhould have told the company's officials, so that enquiries might have been made. Witnesses were also called for the defend- ant, and nfter speeches from the learned advocates, and summing up of the judge, the jury retired. They were absent for nearly two hours, and upon their return into court, returned a verdfet in favour of the plaintiff for £ 19 2a Gd, the value of the twenty bags of rags which were sent to London instead of Bristol.

Jones, and Mr Bird—r»w.: _i-:ains, a weigi&rln the employ of the trustees 0f Marquis of Bute, was charged with property of lifs employers. !1Ù L. V. el the trasteea of LOr'J Bute, and Mr A. -Corbett ikfended the prisoner. Tbe rol>tx»ry was rJleged to have b*ea committo/i on the 8th, and was committed in a singular manner. On the 7th the barque "Vendee armed at the Last Bute with a cargo of bailey consigned M Messrs Cass and Co., brewers, Burtuu-ou-Trent. The cargo was iiChulk,. and the repre- sentatives of Messrs Bass and Co. give the officials at the Docks notice to discharge the cargo, cause it t') be placed in sacks, the sacks to be afterwards placed in trucks and sent to Burton-on-Trent by the London and North-Western Railway Company. A of men were employed by the trustees, the sacks each filled with 2)0 lbs. of barley, and GÜ ¡ ,heed in each truck. The trucks were then teat to a weigUng machine belonging to the trustees uoder the charge of the prisoner. There each truck was wg-hød separately, and the weight entered in a book kept Dy the prisoner, with the number of the truck so weighed. They were then taken on by one of Lord Bute's engines ts> the yard of the London and North Western iiiailway Company, and conveyed by thein to .Hurtun. Evidence was given that each of the trucks contained GO sacks, but OJle of them, 0:1 arriving at Burton, was found to contain only 59. Information was seut to the trustees' officials that one s3.ck had been removed from truck No. li i di.' Tiie check book recorded that 00 sacks were placed in this truck, which was loaded early on the morning of the 8th, and subsequently one of early on the morning of the 8th, and subsequently one of Lord Bute's police officers found in the weighing house a. sack of barley, the sacjc marked with the same brand as those sent to Messrs Bass and Co. At the time the truck was loaded it ,.vaa found that the iwisoner was in sole charge of the weighbridge. A large number of witnesses were called for the prosecution, showing the course pur- sued in unloading vessels at the docks, the loading of the II trucks, and the sending of them by railway to the consignees. It was also shown that the weighbridge house was in the sole charge of the prisoner, and would be locked by him when he left. Mr John O'Gorman, sergeant in the Bute Dock police, stated that on the morning of the 18th about half-past 10 o'clock, he went to the weighing ma- chine in charge of the prisoner. Prisoner admitted that he wa. responsible for an things in the machine house, and behind the door, partially concealed by Esparto grass, he found the sack of barley produced. When snowed the sack, prisoner replied, "1 know nothing about it." The bench were of opinion that it would be necessary to produce evidence, showing that the particular truck in question was taken from the side of the vessel by the weighbridge under the charge of prisoner, and that it was subseo neatly taken regularly to the yard of the London and North Western Railway, aud conveyed thence to Burtou-on-Trent. Mr Shirley was unable to produce the evidence required, and the prisoner was again remanded till Monday, bail being taken for the appearance of the prisoner. Mr Shirley gave the prisoner an excellent character, and :fr R. O. Jones'said that he had received a letter from the Dean of Llandaff, referring to the respectable position held by the prisoner. PRIVATE LMPKOVEJIENTS.—V.llliam Hinwn, the owner of some houses in Rose-street, Roath, was summoned by the CanliJ Urban Authority, for a balance of £ 2 14s 0d due for private improvements. Mr W. Jones appeared for the defendant. An objection to the pajnxient was raised 0:1 the ground that an apportionment and payment had been but this did not cover the present claim, and an order was made for payment of the amount claimed.—David Morgan was also ordered to pay £ 4 4s, amount of private improvements carried out at Roath. ALLEGED THLFT I-ROM AX EMPLOYER.—Louis Vernon, and William Buckland, two young men, the latter in the employ of Mr W. Nicholas Reynolds, were charged with stealing a cask of varnish, a cask of white lead, and a quantity of lead piping, the property of Mr Reynolds, The lead piping was missed by the prosecutor on Tues- day from the stores at the corner of North Church-street, and on Wednesday he missed the casks of white lead. On Friday he went to Newport, and, in the shop of Mr Dando, painter and plumoer, Commercial-street, he found the cask of varnish, a cask of red load, and half & coil of lead piping'. These lie identified as having been taken from his stores. P.C. Webber apprehended the prisoner Yernon on Friday morning. On the way to the police-station Yemen said, "I went with the man to a. shop at Newport where we sold the go According to the evidence of a boy in Mr Reynolds' emp-loy, Bun- nell sent him on the Monday previous for the key of the paint thon. A horse and cart was driven into the yard, and bota prisoners assisted in putting a cask of varnish and a cask of white lead into the cart, which was then driven away.to Mr Blake's yard, where they were shifted into a light varnished trap, and. this was after- wards driven to Newport. The boy subsequently, wdien questioned by Mr Reynolds, admitted what the prisoners had done. The bench remanded the case till Monday, "refusing to take bail for the appearance of the prisoners". CHARGE or LARGEST.—Mary Ann Jones and Rebecca Jones, mother and daughter, were charged with having in their possession two new shirts, supposed to have been stolen.

SCHOOL LOAHD.—A special meeting of the Swansea Scuool Board was^ held on Wednesday, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of'electing a member for the school board in the room of Mr Llewellyn Davies, resigned. There were pre&ent Messrs T. Trew, W. Stone. E. Roberts, T. Phillips, junr., C. V. Crabbe, the Revs. E. Jones. Dr Walters, Canon Richards, Canon Wilson, D. Williams, aud Miss Brock. Altera good deal of discussion as to the mode of procedure in voting, which it was sliow;i by the Act of Parliament must be open, 3fr E. Roberts said he had to propose as a candidate a gentle- man whom he thought they would consider as eligible, if not more so than any gentleman whose name ndght be placed before them—a gentleman of the same denomi- nation as the out-going candidate, and a representative man. After pointing out his qualifications, the speaker concluded by proposing Mr William Davies, outfitter, Xo. 1, High-street, as a candidate for the vacancy. Air C. Crabbe seconded the motion. He had known Mr Davies for a number of wears, and considered him wed qualified for the post. The Rev. Canon Richards pro- posed the name of tbe gentleman who was 16th on the list at the last general election of the board— the Rev. Eli Clarke, vicar of Chriit Church, It would be an advantage to the board to elect a gentleman of his stamp and experience, and it would be a graceful thing to pay that deference to a gentleman who stood so well at the general election. The majority of the board at present were Nonconformists. He reminded them that" it's well to have a giant's strength, but 'tis tyrannous to use it like aand he should like to sc-e Mr Clark, who was a Churchman, elected.—The Rev Dr Waiters seconded j,the motion. A good deal had been I said about the denominational character of the board, but he thought that ought not to be taken into consideration that day. He said so oil the authority of the chairman pro ttnu at their first meeting, the Rev. D. Williams, (A laugh.) The words he used on that occasion were these:—"He (Mr Williams) hoped that they met simply as Educationalists, and that no sectarianism would be allowed to crop up at all." (A laugh.) On that ground he appealed to Mr Williams ,ad the board generally that they should not go in for denominationalism, else lie should have supported Mr Roberts in the election of Mr Davies, on the ground that he was a Baptist the same as the person who had gone out of office. He (the Dr) was not pledged in the matter.—The Chairman having said that he thought there would Lave been a great manv more persons nominated, then submitted the name of the Rev Eli Clarke, when the Revs Canon Wilson, Canon Richards, and Dr Walters voted in his favour, the rest; against. The name of AIR Davies was then sub- mitted, and he was unanimously elected. This was all the business. RATEPAYERS' R;OTEC:I,>- AS;O.IATIOX.— A meeting WAS held on Wednesday, at the offices of Mr C. V. Crabbe. Goat-street, "to take into consideration the advisability of forming a Ratepayers' Protection Associa- tion, and to deliberate upon the best manner of bringing it to a successful issue. There was a tolerably good attendance, and Mr Daniel Jones, coal merchant, "was voted to the chair. Those present having formed them- selves into a committee,Mr C. V. Crabbe read the objects of the proposed association, which briefly were—To exercise constant vigilance in all municipal and parochial government-, in order to check the extravagant expendi- ture of the several rating authorities of the borough, and to eli'ect a general reform in the various administrative departments to effect a more equitable adjustment of the borough assessment; to see that the naraes of all persons duly qualified are placed upon the proper list of voters by those officials whose duty it is to prepare such lists to obtain a fair representation in the government of town and parish matters, thus having a voice in the penJjn5 of the va-t amount of money taken from the packets of the ratepaj'ers." After discussion, it was move.) by lur T. Roberts, and seconded by Mr Bi oughton, that the objects of this association, as read, be approved of.—Carried unanimously. The pro- posed rules were then read and approved of, and the j matter will be brougiit by the committee before the public meeting announced to take place at the Unitarian Schoolroom, on Friday evening next, when ID is believed the association will be permanently formed. Air W. H. Powell was appointed secretary p-ro. 1eu", and Mr II. A. Chapman treasurer.—On Tuesday night a meeting was held at Mr Griffiths^, 41, Wind-street, for the purpose of c-wsiderinsr the desirability of forming a ratepayers' t',Ie association for the South Ward. Mr M alliphant occu- pied the chair, an l explained the objects oi the meeting. The matter was discussed at some length, but ultimately it was decided to suspend further proceedings until after the public meeting at the Unitarian Chapel was held. A deputation from the meeting attended the meeting held at MrC'rabbe's office, as mentioned above. There can be no doubt that the ratepayers are at length deter- mined to taice matters in their own hands, and thus check the wholesale plundering of their money by officials. A RUNAWAY HOHSE.-On Tuesday night a horse, attached to a trap belonging to Mr Thomas ones, of the Black Horse, Dyvatty-street, took fright and galloped wildly down High-street and ( aetle Bailey-street, into Wind-street, v, here the trap came into collision with a cab, the result being that the wheel of the cart came off, but, happily, so for as we can learn, no one was inju'-ed!

Another j person who accompanied the coachman was also injured, and the shafts of the vehicle were broken.
