The total amount of the credits to be asked for by the Government, at the opening of the naxt session of the Chambers, for defraying the expenses up to the end of the present year, of the expeditions to China and Tonquin, will not exceed ten million francs. BERLIN, Thursday.—The recent assumption of some journals that M. Ferry's position had been ahaken hy the alleged Franco German alliance, is warmly combated in semi-official circles, since such an alliance does not exist, but merely an understanding on a few leading questions. Ou the contrary, M. Ferry's position is declared to be firmer than ever. PARIS, Thursday.—A despatch received here from Hanoi, of to-day's date, announces that M. Lemaire, the new French resident at Hue, ar- rived there yesterday, in order to study the French services in Tonquin. A semi-official denial is given to the report published here this morning, announcing the occupation of Kelung by Admiral Courbet.

Jules Ferry declared at the Council of Ministers, held to-day, that the seizure of the mines at Keelung would terminate the military and naval operations. Peace would not long be delayed. The bombardment of Foochow constituted the reprisals, and the occupation of Formosa was a guarantee for the fulfilment of their just demands. PARIS, Thursday Evening.—A despatch from Admiral Courbet, announcing the capture of Kelung, is expected to-night.

EXPULSION OF A BELGIAN JOURNALIST. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] BuiiisKLS, Thursday.—M. Marchi, the director of the National, left Brussels at midnight for Paris, the decree of expulsion issued against him having been enforced. After a farewell lunch at the grand hotel given by M. Marchi to his politi- cal friends, they went in procession, accompauied by a large number or socialists, preceded by a band of musio, to the office of the National, the band playing the Marseillaise," and .shouts of Viva la Rcpublique" being raised. M. Marchi and some other gentlemen then addressed the crowds, protesting against the de- cree of expulsion. The cortege thereupon pro- ceeded to the station Du Midi. The gend- aruiery and police succeeded in dividing the cortege in two parts, which, however, remained outside the station until the departure at the train singing the "Marseillaise" and raising various shouts.

THE TURKISH WAR INDEMNITY. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM. ] ST. PKTKKSBCKG, Thursday.— The Journal de St. Pctenberg to-day characterises as a pure in- vention the statement recently made by the Jiepubl,que .Francaise, that differences had lately arisen between M. de Nelidoff and the Porte in regard to the war in- demnity due by the latter to Russia, and that in consequence the Russian Ambass vdor had left for a long tour in the Greek Archipelago. 1 he rumour that M. de Nelidoff's ahsence from Constantinople was connected with the meeting of the three emperors at Skiernievice is also declared to be entirely imaginary. At the same time, the semi-official organ points out that the Russian Government has reason to. complain of frequent and sudden suspension in payment of instalments of the indemnity.

MR GLADSTONITand SCOT- TISH DISESTABLISHMENT. The Liberator, referring to the recent private interview of some of the friends of disestablish- ment in Scotland wlth Mr Gladstone, says:- We believe that Mr Gladstone's attitude in l'e- gard to the question remains as before—viz., that if the Scottish people at the next election dis- tinctly nronounca in favour of the disestablish- ment ofPtheScottish Church it wdl be the duty of the Liberal party and of the Liberal Govern- ment to give effect to their wishes, so tar as it is in their power to do so. We believe, fur tier, that however anxious some of the local Liberal leaders or candidates may be, on party grounds, to stave off or evade the question at the next election, neither Mr Gladstone nor his Government desires the adoption of such a policy. And, if that be so, a deaf ear must be turned to advisers who counsel inaction, or delay, or moderation or who depie- cate division in the Liberal ranks as the greatest of possible calamities."

CARDIFF LIBERAL CLUB. A largely attended meeting of Liberals was held at the new Liberal Club, Cardiff, on Thurs- day evening, for the purpose of receiving a report upon the work of the preliminary committee. Mr John Gunn was voted to the chair, and gave particulars of the work which had already been done. Mr J. P. Jones, the hon. secre- tary, read the names of those who had joined the club, and general satisfaction was ex- pressed with the number who had already sent in their riames. The draft rules prepared by the preliminary committee were considered, and the only rules upon which any discussion took place were those relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors and the opening of the club on Sunday. After an interesting discussion, it was unanim- ously resolved that intoxicating liquors should be sold, and by a very large majority it was decided that the club should be opened JrQm 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays—only nine voting in the minority-it being, of course, understood that the billiard and amusement rooms would be closed on that day. A committee was elected for the current year, and empowered to order the furni- ture, and make all other arrangements for the immediate opening of the club. Mr Sanders reported the st-ps which had been taken in con- nection with the opening ceremony, and a confi- dent hope was expressed that Mr Gladstone would be induced to be present on tho occasion. The proceedings, which throughout were of a very hearty character, closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. "II!I

RADICALISM AT SWANSEA. FORMATION OF AN ASSOCIATION. At the club-room of the Vernon Arms Hotel, Swansea, on Thursday evening, was held a meet- ing of working men for the purpose of considering tho advisability of forming a Working Men's Radical Association for the borough. Notwith- standing the inclemency of the weather, there was a fair attendance. Councillor Daniel Jones was voted to the chair, and in opening the proceedings he explained that the object of the meeting was to consider what could be done in Swan- sea to advance Liberal or Radical ideas. Swansea, he said, is a thoroughgoing Radical town. (Hear, hear.) Their member was one of the most advanced Radicals in the House of Cozninon,, and it was, therefore, right that they should have an advanced organization. (Hear, hear.) For a long time there had been a Liberal Association, but Liberals formed so large a proportion of the inhabitants of the borousrh that they were apt to be indolent in their own strength, but the time might soon come when Swansea would have a second member, and then there would be a strong fig-ht made by the Tories for the seat. It was, there- fore, right that Liberals should be prepared. (Applause.) Referring to the contempt the Tories express and the fear they really had of the caucus system, he said that hitlverto the caucus had been in the hands of the Tories. The squire and the parson used to dictate to the people, but now the Liberals had so altered things that the people themselves were consulted, and, moreover, allowed to arrange as to how they should be governed. (Applause.) What, he a had Radicalism done for the country ? It had given civil and religious liberty, the ballot, free trade, household suffrage, a cheap and free press, the abolition of university tests, the abolition of Church rates, and Catholic emancipation. (Applause.) Toryism, lie pointed out, meant class legislation. (Hear, hear.) It was said Radicalism had ex- hausted its programme. He, however, contended there was a strong programme yet. There was manhood suffrage to be obtained, the abolition of .the hereditary chamber, and the disestablish- ment and disendowment of the State Church. Then royalties on minerals should be payable to the State, perpetual pensions should be abolished, and so should royil paupers. There should be free education by the State, county government (the funds bein' ad- mmiet-ered by the ratepayers who fnund the money), and compulsory cultivation of the land. In bcotJand whole acres were at present laid waste for the benefit of sporting aristocrats. I here should be compulsory sale of land, feu- dalism should be abolished, and there should be trioxinnu parliaments. (Applause.) Tha ohioot- nf Hadicaiism vvas to do the greatest good for the greatest nuinoer of people. (Applause.) 1-Ic u>gu the Radicals of Swansea to wolk hanJ, and let the Tories know once and foi all that a lory c;m never sit for the bovougn. (Hear, hear.) He asked them to sink all little differences and unite for the advance- ment of those principles they had so much at heart. (Applause.) Mr WALTKR RKNDEM, explained that the ob- ject of the association was to give working men an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the poli- tical subjects of the day. The working men took quite as much interest iu political matters as the largest ratepayers iu the town, and though their individual opinions might go for nought united together it was possible for them to lead others. (Hear, iiear.) The asso- ciation, he pointed out, would not be antagonistic to the Liberal Association, but would be a sup- port to it. (Hear, hear.) LKWYd AJ.<'AN expressed his concurrence with the object of the meeting, and his intention to support the association, when formed, to the best of his nbility. Mr J. I'IIOTHKHO moved— That it i the opinion of this meeting that the time h:14 arrived when a Worldtig Men's Radical Association shall be formed for the borough of Swansea, and this meeting pledges itself to support such association in every possible way. —(Applause.) Mr T. M. SYMMON3 seconded, and Messrs Richards. J. H. Jones, and Nicholson having supported it, the motion was carried unanimously. Councillor Dauiel Jones was elected president of the association Messrs James Fisk, William Davies, J. F. Crawford, vice-presidents W. Rend ell, secretary and James Jones, treasurer and a committee of 16 having been elected, the proceedings terminated.

I; tú [.he Crown, but for want of evideuce were not arrested. Mr Harrington, M, p" in another of his series of letters on the subject, ascribes the motive to quarrels about sheep stealing, of which John Joyce, the head of the murdered family, was accused, and that the substantial farmer, described as paymaster of the gang, alleged that Joyee had made three attempts to shoot him. John Joyce was treasurer of the Ribbon Society, and, it was said, had not for some time accounted for the funds.

THE MONUMENT TO MR DANIEL THOMAS, DINAS. UNVEILING CEREMONY. ADDRESSES BY LORD ABERDARE, THE MAYOR OF CARDIFF, MR LEWIS WILLIAMS, &c. At Lleddrddu Cemetery, near Trealaw, and just above Dinas, on the hill-top to the right of the railway station, was unveiled, on Thursday afternoon, by Lord Aberuare.a monument erected in commemoration of the valour and worth of Mr Daniel Thomas, colliery proprietor. The weather was dull and cheerless the sky had a leaden hue, unrelieved by but few glints of sunshine. The surroundings of the scene were the reverse of picturesque, and the approaches to it showed clearly that the sanitary millennium had not yet, at all events, dawned on the busy Rhonlda world. But deep and all-prevailing interest was felt in the eventful proceedings which were taking place. There were representatives at the proceedings from far and There were impressive unanimity and enthusiasm of feeling, for the dead hero of toe hour had lost his life ill attempting to save the lives of the other and first victims of the fatal colliery exl-lo- sioa in January last. Mr Daniel Thomas was the son of Mr Dame, Thomas, Brithwenydd, and for many years practised in the district os a certificated manager. After his father's death lie acquired the Adair colliery level. He was also the proprietor of Brithwenydd Colliery, but that has been worked out. Ho owned Dinas Ishaf Colliery, and two years ago leased the Dinas Colliery, so hamessly identified with disaster. Under liis experienced management work proceeded safely and well, A more practical man could not be anywhere found. His humanity was also matter of note. Wnen- ever a colliery disaster happened in the Ivliondda ho was to the fore in the work of rescue, and Ill", gallant, intrepid conduct at the Tynewydd inun- dation secured for him the Albert Medal and a magnificent address. By the last explosion at Dinas the workings there wore so scattered ttiac for years scores of bodies by disinterred. Upon succeeding to the proprietorship he set at once to disinter them, and had got all out except nye. One was brought to the surface last week. Fnr this humanity the South-Wales colliers were aoout to present him with a testimonial, and £ 150 had already been raised for the purpose. The money was afterwards applied to erect the present monument. Mr Thomas was the first to arrange for going down the pit on the morning of the Penygraig ex- plosion, and his appeals for co operation to tnose around him were urgent and incessant. By his untimely death the district lost one of its best and ablest and moft energetic men, and about 800 men lost a kind-hearted employer. The grief of the workmeu and general population was great. The attachment felt towards him was reflected hy a little incident which occurred yesterday. His manager, Mr Havard, called out that he would, come what might, go in quest of Mr Thomas, that he must find him, even if he lost his life iu the attempt. Our readers may remember the overwhelming sensation which was produced when the tidings reached tho surface at Penygraig Colliery that Mr Daniel Thomas had been found lifeless below ground. The intelligence, crushing as it did the last faint gleam of hope, affected everybody almost to tears. Later particulars showed that after driving 10 yards through the gob, Mr Thomas was seen in a recumbent. position 20 yards ahead on the main level in the nine-leet seam. Having got at him and carried him out, a search party went back and explored the level. They found Thomas Davies (" Double Power"), one of the 11 killed by the explosion, charred and dead. This was all they could ascertain, and as the gaseous fumes were strong, a move upwards was made at 2.40, and the body of Mr D. Thomas brought to the surface. Amidst intense stillness, broken only by the sobs of the women who stood near, the corpse of "the strong manofyester- lky," cnt down in the very prime of life (he was only 35 years of age) whilst attempting to save the lives of others, was borne on the shoulders of a number of workmen to his homo at Dinas. As the procession passed along the blinds of the houses in the several streets were in many in- stances drawn down. But little else was done in the rest of the afternoon. The corpse of Mr Lewis, the uudermanager at Penygraier, &c., who accompanied Mr TilOnàS I in his initial and too daring exploits of succour, was discovered. Eleven persons were killed by the Penygra.ig explosion. Mr Thomas met his death on the anniversary of his father's funeral. The extraordinary demonstrations of pubIc sympathy and grief which attended the interment of the deceased gentleman at Cvmmer are fresh in the memory of our readers, but some may not re- member the eloquent sentiments given utterance to by the Queen when Lord Aberdaro advised her Majesty of what had happened. Hence we reproduce the text of the communication penned by S:r H. T. Ponsonby, private secretary. to the Rueen: — Osborne. Dear Lord Aberdare,—I have laid your letter report- ing [he death ot Daniel Thomas before the Queen. Her Majesty exprs.,etl the warmest admiration tor his gallant coiniuct and contempt of danger in trying to savo the lives of others, as described by you. lne Queen asks you to convey her sincere iv-re "ft synt_ pathy to his relations irt the death of so brave and worthy a itiaii.-Yoiiri vury truly. HENRY T. rONSONBY. An executive committee was then formed to get up the monumental arrangements. Mr L. Jones was the active secretary, and the work of erection of the structure was entrusted to Mr W. Davies, Caerphilly. It is of fairly satisfactory design and construction, aud is of moderate height. The medallion of Mr Thomas, however, hardly gives the onlooker a very accurate notion of his features in later days. It appears to have been modelled upon a portrait of Mr Thomas executed years ago. tStill, tbet-o is meritorious artistic finish about the work. it is placed in the lower part of the cemetery, and occupies a position of promi- nence. The major part of the cemetery is partly as yet unoccupied. With such solitude above and around it, such ruggedness of scenic outline, fhe monument looks really striking viewed from a distance. On the front panel (No. 1) arc the words— "In m?mory of Daniel Thomas, E-q" pro pvietoi of the Dinas Colliery. Bom January 15th, 1849 died January 27th, 1884. He was buried at the Independent Chapel, Cymmer." Side panel (No. 2) had the inscription— "This monument was erected by public sub scription, as a tribute to the humanity and courage displayed by him on the following occa- sions -At the inundation of the Tynewydd Colliery, in April, 1877, by which five men were entombed for ten days, he received from her Majesty the Queen the Albert medal of the lirst class, and also the medals of the Knight Templars of Jerusalem and of the Humane Soeiety. Through his skill and valour he recovered during the years 1881 to 1883 the bodies of 49 miners out of the63 who lost their lives at the Dinas colliery explosion, January 13th 1879. He succumbed to the after-damp iu his attempt to rescue the 10 men who were en- tombed in the pit when the terrible explosion took place at the Naval Colliery, Penygraig, January 27 tli, 1884." Side panel, No. 3, contains the names of the Dinas Colliery victims, whose bodies Mr Thomas was instrumental in recovering—though not all, tor 23 bodies whose names were not known were recovered also.

AUWYSTL opened the proceedings by calling upon the secretary to read letters of apology for non attendance from Mr Lewis Davis, Ferndale, and Judge Gwilym Williams, Miskiu. if ft. then unveiled the monument, f u'a a ?.rwar(^sstood upon a chair, and, addre-aing aucence remarked: Ladies and gentlemen,it is l l very sad, but with very sincere, satisfaction that 1 take part in the proceedings of this J HWaS pnvi'ege to attend the burial of the excellent man in whose honour this monument was erected, and a more touch- ing scene I never witnessed. It was oue of those occasions when the sorrow of a whole people is deep, sincere, and manifest. (Hear, hear.) io-day we meet ou another occasion, and that is to put up a monument to perpetuate the good u.nd brave acta of*the friend who has passed from among us. I use the word perpetuate because no better word occurs to nie. But we know that in this world of ours there is nothing perpetual. The monuments decay. The very names are forgotten of the men who have iilled a large space iu the world's history. Wo cannot therefore expect that the name of Daniel Thomas shall be perpetuated in that sense of the word. But my sincere belief is this—that although the name may perish, the good influence of deeds like ins is perpetual. (Hear, hear.) It is handed from father to son, from generation to generation, and a good deed once propogated is like the wave of air, which once nioved,never ceases. (Hear,hear.) However, it is right and just that we should do all we can, small as it may be, to hand down to our children and our children's children the memory of the man whom we mourn and whom we admire. (Hear, hear.) The daring act by which Daniel Thomas lost his life was by no means his first. It was the crowning deed of a brave life. (Hear, hear.) Wherever danger was to be faced, wherever lives were to be saved in the district where also dangerous accidents often occurred and lives are often imperilled-there was Dauiel Thomas always to be found and always in the first rank, (llear, hear.) And let me here say one word with respect to those acts of valour committed down in the deep caverns of the earth. Many of the most heroic acts known to fame, and which we all admire, are committed iu the open air, in the light of the sun, iu the sight and .„amidst the enthusiastic admiration of thousands. But the man who goes below and imperils his own life in order to save others, who treads dark and narrow ways where he knows danger to exist, which may confront him at any moment; where there arenoapplauding thousands to witness his aet of devotion, this man takes his life in hishand,and his sole stimulus is the desire to save those among whom he has lived and among whom he has worked. Now, thank heaven, we have many, very many, brave men ready to imperil their lives for their fellow-creatures. I have li ved too long in the district-iiot to know that whenever an acci- dent happens of this kind—whenever any lives 'I. 1 _b- &11 -1 J. are iosu-or lives are :I:ll supposed to ua im- perilled, there are no end of brave inen-collier;i and agents ready to go down and do their best to rescue their follow workmen. (Hear, hear.) We know that but why is it that we are doing this special honour to the memory of Daniel Thomas ? It is not because he was the one, the only brave man in the district, but that we really be- lieve, judging from his act, that among the good and br.ive men ;he was one of the bravest. (Hear, heir.) You, all of you, recollect that long agony which not only we, but the whole country, endured when the nine colliers were shut up in the colliery at Tynewydd, and I daresay you may recollect that it was my honourable (-Itity--Illi- posed upon me hy the Queen—to inquire into the relative merits of those who had taken the most active part in saving the imprisoned men, and distributing the reward according to the merit. We had the happiness of recommending that rewards should be given to many brave men from this and neighbouring districts, but I was I of opinion that two especially deserved the highest rank and honour, and among those two I was Mr Daniel Thomas. (Hear, hear.) My reason wis ¡'1" ,\<), I'1l"- Mra~ h" r h'-ove as the bravest, but that ho was always foremost, that he always animated others, that his spirit pervaded the spirits of others, and that therefore he had supreme right to recognition, (iiear, hear.) But it was not only at Tynewydd Colliery that he showed his courage—he showed equal courage on other occasions, and that courage ullite(i to sympathy with his fellow-countrymen. (Hear, hear.) You all know that as a result of tiie wretched explosion, with the attendant wreek, panic, and ruin, at Dinas, a large number of the bodies were not recovered. But when, in about two years, Mr Daniel Thomas undertook the manage- ment of the pit, instead of doiug it on the most economical system, and driving a heading where he would have done under ordinary circumstances, Mr Thomas went out of his way at considerable risk and cost, in order, if to take out what remained of the bodies of the victims of the explosion, and give the surviving relatives and friends the oil of seeing that those wooin they loved had Christian burial. (Applause.) We have their names—at all events the names of tnose of them who were buried in this ceme- tery recorded on this monument, and I must say that it was most fitting that Mr Thomas should be buried amongot those whose dead bodies lie had rescued in tli is gdlaufc and self-sacrificing spirit. (Haar, hear.) Ladies and gentlemen, it is acts like these that have endeared the name of Daniel Til,nnas to th'3 people of this county, and espe- cially to the people of Cvvin Rhoudda. (He ir, hear.) These acts deserve to be perpetuated. (Hear, hear.) If immortality were possible they deserve to be immortalised. (Hear, liear.) Pos-'ibly out of this wor:d they are immortalised —(hear, hear)—raid we hope that lie is receiving elsewhere the reward for good deeds he performed upon earth. It is right, not only from a of gratitude, but in the interests of mankind that such deeds shoulJ be perpetuated. (Hear, hear.) I am sure that tiie honours we shew to the memory of Daniel Thomas will have a useful and lasting eifeot in holding forth his example to the generation to fOJ!uw":(henr, hear) — and that there will never be men wanting in Cwm Rhondda or elsewhere to perpetuate by example, the heroic self-devotion ot Mr Thomas. (Hear, hear.) To acts acts full of tenderness and sympathy, wli'c'i distinguished the career of our departed iriend. (Hear, hear.) I hi>e to thank those who have contributed towards the erection of this monu- ment and also to heartily thauk tll ,sa. whl, invited me here and gave me an opportunity of expressing the gen-line feelings of my heart for a man so good, so brave aud honoured as Daniel Thomas. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor of CARDIFF said that he, too. was glad of the opportunity to testify in his official capacity the very high admiration which he felt for so heroic a character as Daniel Thomas. (Hear, hear.) It Was Ins J03S that he had not had the pleasure of knowing Daniel Thomas but his admiration was none the less spontaneous or deep for the absence of that intimacy. He re- garded the life of Daniel Thomas, brief thougii it was, as a truly noble one, and it should not be forgotten that the lives or men, after all, must be measured not by the days, but deeds which they contained, and the lite ot Daniel Thomas in this sense WHS one of .n\. "lortumg and accomplishment. lie could only say he felt it a very great honour to have the means of testifying his regard for MrTiiomas, and with the families of the bereaved at Dinas. (Hear, hear.) LFWIS WiLLiAMS, Cardiff, also spoke, and endorsed the utterances to which expre-sion had already been given. The life of e, Daniel Bach (for a bach was, he knew, everywhere in these valleys) was a true and unselfish one. (Hear hear.) He had once remonstrated with him ou his daring in emergency of accident, and the reply was, H.,w can I stand aside when «J0 man are jn danger ? (Hear, hear.) Tiie L I T ,ll'^ei|d was one deserving of emulation. Whilst looking on the monumental tablet he felt that the memory of the man was engraved on more durable material than mere marble—that it was inscribed on the hearts of thousands of toe wor,tmg men and women and children of the two Rhon bias. (Applause.) They, too, should re- inem ber— The cause that needs assistance, ;v>iiai,s that nee resistance, •loe future in the distance, Anli the good hat we can do. (Applause.) The Rev. THOMAS GEORGE then proposed a vote ot thanks to Lord and Lady Aberdare for their attendance aud service. (Applause.) Rev. Mr RICHARDS seconded the motion, and rViWiP!'s;e<i' a11 beads being bared. Lord ABSKDABK cordially replied. Lord and Lady Aberdare then drove to Porth Station, wnere they took train for Mountain A-h,

CONGRATULATIONS TO DYFED. MEETING AT PEMB ROKE-TERRACE li A L, CARDIFF. A meeting, to congratulate the Rev, Evan Rees (Dyred), who, Un ler the nom de plume of Mur- mud Aled won the honour of the bardic chair at the recent Liverpool eisteddfod for the best awdl (tHle) on Gwilym Hiraethog," was held oil Thursday evening in the Pembroke-terrace Calvinistic Methodist, Chapel. Mr Councillor Alfred Th. on as presided, and there were among those present the Rev. W. James, Aberdare Mr David Tudor Evans, Cardiff Mr David Evans, Docks Dafydd Morganwg, Mr Mildon, &c. The Rev. MOnGA JONKS read letters from several persons regretting inability to attend. Mr Gwilym Williams wnde —" I need n t assure you and Dyfed how gratifying it is to me, Un o fechgyn Aberdare, to learn the success "o nil o honynt," and I feel a peculiar gratification m this instance, for the object of the coi-gratula- tion was so attached to my uin-ie, Y Bardd." Will you convey to Dyfedd my sincere congratu- lations ?" The CHAIRMAN said he was pleased to find that they had a resilient in Cardiff who had succeeded in carrying off the chief prize in the National Eisteddfod. That, made the fifth chair ptize gained by their friend Dyfed, but lie was of opinion that that prize ranked far above the others in importance, as it was the highest award r¡1t could bo granted even by the National Bardic Association.. They knew that many ^competed for the prize, but all were not inspires by i-il) motives. They felt; that some.B weie influenced merely by the money consignation only others were more concerned to succt'iediby reason oi the honour that would come to them and some few there were impelled by the love of poetry for its own sake. Among the last was their friend Dyfed. (Applause.) They knew inat such a meeting as that did not commend itself to their friend, but they now had to tell him that he no longer repre- sented himself. He represented the spirit of poetry. (Applause.) III assembling there to do him honour, they were paving tribute through him to those geniuses who" had enriched their literature with their poetic productions. In that light he believed even one so diffident, so indisposed to receive flattery, aa Dvfed, would not take anything they sail or di,l that evening as fu.some or in bad taste. He was glad that they were improving upon their forefathers in the way of acknowledging merit and distinc- tion. In tunes pa^t litUo w,\$done to encourage aspirants for bardic Honours, or to reward those who made their fame in the the realm of poesy, Some little time ago ho had the honour to unveil a memorial raised to the mellloryof a departed bard, and took the opportunity then to say that they were improving, as' he had stated, upon their ancestors. That meeting proved that they had gone a step further to do honour to a while ho was in the flesh, and that hardly before the blushes that suffused his modest countenance when he was acclaimed by the thousands at the last eisteddfod. He would congia-ulate the Calvinistic denomina- tion on their hs.ving uursed such a pcet as Dyied. From t.iat time forth, however, they must no longer consider him as belonging to their denomination exclusively. He had entered the great bardic circle, and as such he had become national piopeity. (Hear, hear, and loud ap- plause.) Mr DAVIt) J WAN s, Docks, said he was pleased to see a lar^e assemoly lnej. for (]l0 ^mri>0se ()f congratula nig sue I a, promising young bard as Dyfed, and trusted that the majority of Welsh bards would endeavour to imitate him in more than one respect-to be as 1lscf(|)jn Snnday .school work, band of hope promotion tini j„ all move- ments for the goo l of the rising generation. He considered Dyfed a very useful man, especially in the pulpit. I Applause j th' Rev. W. JAMKS, Aberdare, said thai after what had already been said it was a very difficult task for Inm to know what course to pursue; but he couid assure them that they at Abe.daie re- 3 eed m Dj fed h success quite as much as the Uardittians did. lie was well acquainted with Dyfed and all his family, an:1 ile\V:H ,ure that it would have been a sou. ce of great delight to his father and mothe," (now deceased) to witness such an occasion as this. He (Mr James) had the plea- sure of ministering to Dyfed's mother during her last moments, and he should never forget the feeling displayed by the young bard on that ocea- I sion. He vvisned him every success. (Aoplause.) DAVVOD MORGAN\VO said l18 (Dyfed) had taken great interest in eisteddfodau for many years past, but he navei was present at any eisteddfod the proceedings of which were so won carried out as the Liverpool eisteddfod. He thought nearly 15,000 persons were present during the chairing of Hyuid, and yet he coul-1 say that every individual present could hear distinctly every word of the speaking. He was glao t he cnief pr;ze Juk1 come to Cardiff, and he congratulated Dyfed on his success. He was of opinion that yr a Wen was stronger in the south tliin il but he was afraid tiie north ill the fiont as to singing. He ouite endorsed woat Mr 'van* had ,;¡.id in reference to competing in eisteddfodau—that it they intended doing it should be in their spare time. (Ai>- plause.) MOKIKJT said he had Uot com„ the 108et;ug with the in-en turn of making a speech. Ho was present at the ewtoddfod when Dyfed was called forward to receive lus priz„( an(J he was exceed- ingly glad to find him to be a South Walian, and more especially a Lalvinistic Methodist. He compared that body to the 23rd Royal Weidi to) the fore in battle, and in the majority of cases coming off suoc0ssfully. (Ap- plause.) 1 DYypKO, who was received with hearty ap- plause, said that he honeved in competition, and especially in the eisteddf,^ if carried on in a fair and proper manner. He could prove that the majority of nien -ad beyun a very success- ful carcer by that course. Con:petition kept the P, world on the n ovo. He had always been very fond of poetry, but his principal delight was in endeavouring to prove ot more service in the pulpit. lie, young n\(,n to have some object in view, and to do their ulmost to reac;, t;le Koaj. As to his success, he expect that did not pipase everyone, but he trusted the public would rely upon the the respected adjudicators of the Liverpool Jw* uh,,d. He thanked them for the hearty reception they had given him that night. (Loud appiause.) f r having pi0pose,^ vote of t;iiik, to the chairman for hi« kindness in pres' lina', and the latter gentleman having responded, the meeting concluded by singing the National Anthem. Ihe proceedings were pleasantly interspersed by singing and music.

THE CARDIFF REVISED REGISTER. In publishing the results of the work accom- plished in the Revising Barrister's Court, at Car- diff, we present our readers with a few i.temg of information which may be amusing, and perhaps also instructive. The unscrupulousness of the Tories in all matters affecting the registration of voters is proverbial, but a brief examination of the figures'will quickly satisfy any impartial reader that these manipulators never improve. Their objections were of the most frivolous character i maginable, and consequently they failed to an extent quite unpardonable. Thus, for instance, while Mr Sanders lodged 254 objections, bis op- ponent, the Tory agent, lodged 394 but Mr Sanders su-t •i;v:d 236 out of his 254-. while his Tory opponent sustained only 219 out of his 394. But what is still more noticeable is the fact that while Mr Sanders withdrew only 7 of his objec- tions, his opponent had to withdraw no fewer than 101. Of the Liberal objections only 11 were failures on the Tory side theie were 74-. Cut it is when we como to the claims made that the discrepancy between the two parties becomes most glaring. On behalf of the Liberals Mr Sanders put in 537 claims and sustained 235 of them, while his op- ponent sustained only 93 out of 54-7 claims. Owing to non-attendauceof the parties whose cases were in dispute, there were 255 failures on the Liberal and 150 on the Conservative side, but while 209 Conservatives were disallowed oilly 27 Liberals shared that fate. The same tale has to be told when we come to the lodger list. On the Liberal side 62 out of 65 claims were established, whereas only 6G out of 117 were established on the Tory side. These are instructive facts, but not to the credit of the Tory party, whose frivolous objec- tions were of the most disreputable character possible. Mr Biosse's best friends must have regretted that he had such a sorry business thrust upon him. His was not a task appropriate to a gentleman of his standing, and we can only express the hope that iie will not run the risk of soiling his fingers another year with such a job. Some of the Con- servative objections were such as names wrongly spelt, wrong numbers in the streets, and then in making claims they displayed the same disregard to arrears of rates, parish relief, length of tenancy, and so on. Silly objections like these cause loss of time to the parties wrongly objected to, keep the public waiting longer thau necessary, and waste the time of the officials. It is needless to add that Mr Sanders con ducted his cases with an amount of shrewdness, tact, and sk 11 which his opponents can only envy, but which add on every occasion to the debt of obbgatiou which the Liberal party owe him. His match was certainly not in the revision court.

AQUATIC CONTESTS AT SWANSEA. At the popular swimming baths of the Swansea Baths and Steam Laundry Company there was on Thursday afternoon held a grand aquatic ell- tertainment. The weather being fine, and the afternoon being that on which the different trad- ilig establishments of the town close early, there was a very large attendance. Tho judge was Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn, and the starter DL- T, D. Griffiths, and these, assisted by the secretary (Dr D. Phillips) and manager (Professor Morris), ear- lied out the arrangements most efficiently. The sports were well contested, and most of the competitors being frequenters of the baths, the results admirably illustrated the good work the institution lias done duriug the short time it has been in existence. A feature of the enter- tainment was the exhibition of Professor Morris, who, beug the ex-champion of England, is very skilful in the water. Tie shewed all the different styles of swimming, beginning at that of the learner. He undressed, illustrating the best method of saving iife, stood on his head, imitated a porpoise, and, last of all, shewed, with the assis- tance of Mi*s Fiorie Morgan (a daughter of Dr. Morgan), his mode of teaching. Miss Morgan is certainly not more than six years old, and the confidence she showed in the water spoke volumes fur the skill o( her tea.cher. The principal prizes were won by Mr B. Richardson, a gentleman who swims admirably. The ladies' contests were also very interesting, and the obstacle and polo con- tests caused intense amusement.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. I [BY A SOUTH WALES AGRICULTURIST ] Harvest operations are now brought to a close throughout the country, although seed time wa.s late and heavy soils difficult to prepare. Crops have turned out better than expected, and where patience was exercised, they were secured in splendid condition during the magnificent weather we have been favoured with. But I hear of numerous instances of over-heating corn ricks from too much haste. This has led to the remark commonly used that more hay and corn are spoilt in fine weather than bad, In the valuable letter upon our wheat crop by Sir John Beuuet Lawes, Bart. (to whom British agriculturalists owe a deep debt of gratitude for his many important researches and experiments in agricultural chemistry 1, he draws the con- clusion from his carefully recorded on the growth of wheat, continued for 32 years at Rothamstead, that the crop of 1334 is over an average, but not a lisavy crop," and esti- mates that 9;t million quarters will be available for too: and that we shall require 16 million quarters from abroad to supply our teeming population of thirty-six and a half millions, This strikes one as being an enormous amount of food to be de- pendent upon other countries for, and would urge upon us the consideration whether it be not possible to produce more wheat at home. The question resolves itself into a matter of business. Will it pay to grow wheat ? With the return as to price at 33s per quarter, and a good deal of less value than this, which is consumed at home (as with the splendid quality of foreign wheat to fall back upon, millers will not buy inferior home grown), we confess we can't see how it will pay, but must be a money loss if the price remains so low, although the price of wheat straw is high, and affords some aid in balancing the account. But undoubtedly less wheat will be grown in future unless a more satisfactory return can be made. One question arises therewith which must re- ceive consideration, and that is a readjustment of the titlle averages. They were passed upon cer- tain average prices which cannot now be obtained, and we have repeatedly mooted the point that the average of seven years is far too long, and tells heavily upon tenants who have perhaps to pay upon high averages which they have not reaped the benefit of. But we shall reLurn to this subject at a future time. With reference to the corn crop in the county of Glamorgan, from personal observation, and judging from numerous leports, I fear it will be found under an average, and thrash out un- satisfactorily, as blight was prevaieut to some extent in the wheat crop. Barley 011 light soils is a heavy crop, but on heavier lands very \"aria-ble, having come up badly, aud in such instances uot ripened well together, though, as a whole, splendidly harvested. Oats turned out a remarkably light straw crop, though well coined, the drought proving too much for them, and will be considerably under an average. Potatoes are a wonderful crop, both as regards quality and quantity, and the root crops are maklug extra- ordinary progress. Some of the earlier sown swedes on light land are suffering from mildew. Stock markets are overdone at present. The supply exceeds the demand, and a considerable drop in price has resulted for the ordinary farm stock. The two events of the week are the short- horn sales at the Hendre and the Duffrya, in Monmouthshire. The result will be known ere this is published, but our Hereford friends need not fear it wili eclipse the sensational sale of Lord Wilton." We hear that the Hereford breeders will keep him in the country. We would strongly advise tliem to let the eleven-year-old bull at £3,800 go to America, and not buy him back, unless at a considerable reduction. Sales of pedigree stock have Rone off fairly well, and, as a rule, made remunerative prices. The important experiment of Lord Tollemache of filling a silo with maize grown at the rate of 18 tons per acre, will be watched with anxiety, as, if it succeeds, it will in suitable districts form an important addition to the st ckowuer's source of supply of food grown on the land.

LAMPETEK AGRICULTURAL SOCIE Y. THE ANNUAL DINNER. SPEECHES BY MR L. P. PUQH, M.P., PRINCIPAL JAYNE, &c. The anuual dinner was held at the Black Lion Hotel after the show on Wednesday afternoon. The President, Mr John F.nvden, occupied the chair, and one of the vice-presidents, Mr Willis Buad, was in the vice-chair. There were also present amongst the company Mr L. P. 1'twh, M.P., Colonel Lewes, Llanlear Mr J. C. Har.ord, Falcondale Mr T. It. Hughes, Xeuaddfawr Major Lr.ves, Tygiyn Mr D. Long Price, Talley Mr W. Jones, Liwyngroes; Dr Rowland, Garth; the Rev. Principal Jayne, St. David's College Mr Rogers, Aberuieurig Mr Lloyd- Ed wards, Mr Loyd, solicitor; Mr Lloyd, Dol- gwyn Hou.se Mr J. L. Hughes, National Pro- vincial Bank; Mr Roderick Evan. and others. At the conclusion of the repast the President very briefly gave the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. Colonel LEVVKS next proposed The Health of the Members of Parliament for the (Joun-y and Boroughs," \v:,ic!1 w, s very warmly received. Mr l'UGH, M.P., on rising to respond, was greeted w ith ilag'.ng cheers. He said the position of a member of Parliament, as Colonel Lewes had s.dd, was certainly not one of repose. It was not so durine: the session, aud was certainly not so during the reee> Many members worked even harder during the recess than dur.ng the session, and he did not pretend to say that he was any exception to the general rule. He thought he could very well claim credit fur having looked after the agricultural interests of the county. He had attended the show at Lauipe er for many years, and assured them that he took a very g-reat interest in it. The cause of so much success attending the show he believed arose from the fact of < the tenant farmers having been got to take such a deep oersuial interest in its welfare. The people of the district he believed, nf-ed not now Le willing to see the show given up. As regards the ood thesè shows were doing lie had looked round the field that day to see if he could find any perceptible improve- ment in the stock, and so far as lie was able to judgo he would gi\e them candidly hU opinion. In the black cattle he noticed a great improve- In the black cattle he noticed a great improve- ment over past years. Mr WM. JONICS next gave the "Health of the Julges," which Mr D. LOG PIUCK acknow- ledged. Mr J., P. PUGH, M P., next gave "The Town and Trade of Lampeter,and success to St David's College." Principal J A YE, in response, said he had to thank Mr Pugh and all the other Welsh members for the kind words they had spoken about the college, though he feared they should not be able to r-pay them with fair deeds in the present state of things. The new college school ha.d already from 60 to 70 boys, and he considered that a very good augury, seeing that it was only established in February last. They did not be- lievt) in educating young meD merely for the pro- fessions—the medical, legal, and clerical—but in bringing them on for all the ordinary walks of life, including that of farming—(hear, hear)—and they htvd begun that session to study the element- ary principles of agriculture as one of the staple subjects of the college. (Hear, hear.) A few other toasts followed.

HARVEST THANKSGIVING {SERVICES. ,)T. harvest festi- val Wits celebrated at this beautiful ancient Norman Church, on Thursday, the decorations being most elaborate and tasteful. In the even- ing tli'-re was a choral service, a contingent of St. Mary's assisting. The Rev. E. T. Williams, vicar of Caklicott, was to have been the preacher, but that gentleman having been summoned to ijive evidence in a law case oil the same day,could not attend, and the P,,t-v, J acl,,on, rector of Ganarew, preached a most appropriate and im- pressive sermon instead. The church was crammed. The offertory was for the Monmouth Hospital. LLANilft;.CHPA.-A mokit successful festival was held in this parish on Tuesday. There were the usual services m the church—a celebration at 8, mattnis at 11, and evensong at 7. The. rriot-iiiiig preacher was the Rev. J. E. le S. Dawooti, of Roath, who brought out in his own striking mau- net the great lesson of unity that is taught by such a festal gathering—the meeting of the general body of the parishioners at the parish church, like the meeting of the scattered members of family at some family gathering. In the eYeu' Rev. J. Harding, vicar of Rockfield, rivetted t le attention of all, as he dwelt on the miracle of the harvest, and pointed out that the srreat congrega- tion before him showed by their presence that the first article of the Church's ancient creed still held its ground in their hearts, I believe In God as the Author of our harvest blessings—.lie One that giveth the increase.

OXFORD DIOCESAN CON- FERENCE. At the diocesan conference at Oxford on Thurs- day afternoon the motion in favour of opening museums Oil Sunday was negatived by a large majority. In a discussion on the resolutions of the Select Committee on the Chnrch Patron Bills Sir John Mowbray, M.P., proposed a resolution to the effect that the conference rejoiced at the prosperity of early legislation on the subject, but the conference accepted a proposal of Hr. Philli- more to defer the consideration of the matter until next year. Resolutions were passed in favour of establishing iwrpottial parochial missions on the basis of the Church Army.

CAB COMMITTEE.—A largely attended meeting of the cab committee and other members of the corporation took place in the Mayor's Court, on Thursday, Mr Alderman Elliott presiding. After a long discussion, it was resolved that a portion of the existing cabstand opposite the Town-hall be retained, equal to the accommodation of six cabs a space of 53 feet to be left clear opposite the market, and that the new cabstand opposite Mr H-weii's premises be abandoned. The memorial of the members of tho C >unty Clab, praying for the abandonment of the proposed stand opposite the club premises, was fully con- sidered, and it was unanimously resolved to re- commend the corporation to confirm its previous resolution. The new cabstand in Wesiga.e- sl-reet for 12 caus having been c .mplained of by owners of property, the Committee modified their scheme, and agreed to reduce the length of the stand one half, and by this means obviate the obstruction to the Royal Hotel stables and other business premises. f BANK IUPTCY ACT, 1833.—Six Christmas Cards for 5.1, worth 2 bel.

A NATIVE REVOLT IN MOROCCO. [HEUTElt'S TELEGRAM.] GIBRALTAR, Wednesday.—Intelligence received here from Morocco states that the village of Aim Hamra, which had recently revolted against the Sultan, and declared for the Sheiief of Waznn, and against which troops had been moved by the Bashaw of Tangier, h is made its submission to the latter. Twenty prisoners have been sent into Tangier as hostage. The village is also to pay a heavy fine. The campaign in Augera is therefore regarded as at an end. The Sherief of Wazan withdrew from Aim Hatura previous ( the village making its submission, but his place was supplied by M. Jllondel, the secretary of the French Legation, who remained there ostensibly for the purpose of shooting. It seems, however, that the Moorish authorities were determined that the village should be at/tacked. 1 hereupon M. Blondel also withdrew. The troola were then inarched to El Tucen, close to Aim Hamra, whereupon the village submitted.

I UETUHN HOME OF MR AND MRS CORDES. Newport accorded quite a popular welcome to Mr and Mrs Thomas Cordes on their return home on Thursday evening from the honeymoon, which had been spent in Scotland, at the residence of the bride's father, Admiral Milne. Mr Cordes. as a large employer of labour at the Dos Nail Works, and as having filled for four or five years the honourable position of Conservative represen- tative for the Monmouth Boroughs, was entitled to something in the shape of a welcome, and that this took a demonstratively effusive turn is cre- ditable to the warm-hearted people of the sagacious town growing daily into fuller import- ance on the. banks of the Usk. There was, of course, a plentiful display of flags, and also of mottoes of welcome addressed to the bride. The approach to the Great Western Railway station, High-street, Marshes-road, and the long carriage dri\e to Brynglas, the residence of Mr Cordes, were thus decorated. At Marshes- road railway bridge the first decoration of any artistic pretensions was erected, This bore the leg-end, "Long Life and Happiness to the Squire of Brynglas and his Bride," Venetian masts became numerous beyond the second railway bridge on the Marshes-road, the dwellers iu which, mostly employes at the Dos Works, imide the best display of house decoration. At the top of the carriage road, the archway over the entrance gate was festooned very prettily with flowers, with the single word Welcome in the centre of the arch. The train arrived about 6.30 and about 200 residents a.-1 others were grouped upjn the platform to receive the newly-wedded pair. Mr Cordes' familiar features at the carriage wi ndow were the signal for much cheer- ing, which was redoubled when his wife's pLasant face and form were discerned. A iiaiidst)ine bouquet of hothouse fi wtrs, nearly 18 inches in diameter, was presented to Mrs Uordes by Mrs E. J. Grice, of The Fields, and a wa.s formed to the carriage, which was in waiting outside. This was drawn by a score of willing hands, and surroundeJ and es- corted by about 40 flunbeanx bearers,and headed by a united band of nearly 100 musicians, the pair passed through the crowded streets. The scene rather weird and pretty, was slightly marred by a drizzling rain which fell. The route WAS en- livened by rounds of cheering. At the gate at Brynglas the fl unbeaux were made into a bonfire, an 1 as the carriage drew up at the porch, MrL. A. H"mfl'ay, J.P., acc >mpunied by several of the other inhabitants of Mai pas, addressed Mr and Mrs Cordes, and presented them with a "welcome home," anJ also a handsome silver salver, sub- scribe L by the parishioners and residents. Mr Cordes thanked his friends for the reception accorded to Mrs Oorde3 and himself, and said now that he had brought home with him one whom he wa.s sure would prove acoeptable to his neighbours, he hoped to spend the rest of his days happily in the par sh where he had lived so many of his bachelor life. He had heard that a reception was intended to be given him, but it had exceeded tenfold what lie had anticipated. 1\11-8 Cordes and himself hoped on some future occasion to make closer acquaintance with inauy whom he saw that even- ing, ami oil lier behalf aud his own he begged to thauk them very heartily for the kindness aiil goodwill extended towards them on their return home. Mr and Mrs Cordes then left the carriage. The present subscribed for by the public of New- port consists of a diamond bracelet, value £ 150, The employes at the Dos Works also make preseuts.
