HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, The Speaker toek the chair at two o'clock. LOCAL PETITIONS, Petitions were presented in favour of pansions being granted to educational teachers by Mr A. J. Williams (Bridgend Teachers' Association), and by Mr Warmington from the teachers in the Rhymney district; in favour of making the law of divorce and the rights of marriage equal as between man and woman,by Mr Bowen Rowlands from Aberystwyth in favour of Sunday closing by Mr Warmington from the Baptist congrega- tion, Blaenau Gwent. A POSTAL GRIEVANCE. Mr ALFRED THOMAS gave notice that on Monday he would ask the Postmaster-General whether bis attention has been called to the fact that traders can forward samples of merchandise to their private customers at the pattern or sample rate of postage; but upon the samples being returned to the trader by the customer, and bearing stamps of the same value that conveyed them in the first place, that the package is treated as a letter, letter-rate is charged, and double the deficiency of the letter-rate of postage is demanded when tendered back to the trader; and whether he can see his way to put an end to this difference of charge upon the same packages. THE CARDIGANSHIRE TITHE DISTRAINTS. Mr BOWEN ROWLANDS I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Hotne Department whether he has received any communication from the chief-constables of Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire in reply to the letters sent to them by him with reference to any attempts to come to an understanding with the tenants before briuging large bodies of police to the scene of tithe distraints and sales in those counties ? Mr MATTHEWS I have not at present received a reply to my letter. Mr BOWEN ROWLANDS I beg to ask the right hon. gentleman whether the chief-constable of Cardiganshire stated to the peasants and others attending tithe sales in the parish of Penbryn on Wednesday, the 1st of May, that their presence at the sales was illegal, as constituting an unlawful assembly whether such statement was translated into Welsh at the cbisf-constable's request by one of the persons so attending the sales, and repeated by him to the people in the Welsh language and on what grounds was such a statement made by the chief-constafcle ? Mr MATTHEWS I am also at present without information as to the facts referred to, but I have asked for a report on the circumstances. A NECESSARY ELUCIDATION. Baros H. DB WORMS, replying to Sir W. Law. son, said that as bounties were given on molasses as well as upon raw and refined sugar and glucose, molasses was necessarily included in the Sugar Convention Bill, the object of which Was the total abolition of bounties. (Hear, hear.) COUNTY COUNCILS AND THE POLICE. Mr MATTHEWS, in answer to Mr Howard Vincent, said the decision of the question of police superannuaticn was delayed by the Local Government legislation of last year, which made it expedient to wait until the county Councils were in working order before saddling them with any new burden. Sir W. BAUTTLELOT enquired whether the right hon. gentleman did not consider it advisable to send to each of the county councils some scheme which the Government might more or less approve of, in the hope that a general system of relieving allowances could be devised? Mr MATTHEWS thought the suggestion contained valuable elements, and promised that it should receive attention. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. Mr E. ROBERTSON anked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he would consent to report progress at an early hour in order that attention might be called to the attitude of the British Government towards the Paris Exhibition, a subject which the bon. gentleman said had raised considerable feeling on the Opposition side of the House. (Cheers.) Mr W. H. SMITH answered, amid Ministerial cheers, that it might perhaps be possible tn give time for the discussion of this matter if sufficient progress were made with the business of supply. SUPPLY. The House thin went into committee of supply. A HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDING. Upon the vote of £ 35,286 for the Colonial Office, Mr PICKEBSGILL moved a reduction of the salary of the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies by jBICO as a protest against the mig- conduct of the Chief Justice of the Bahamas. A man named Taylor received a sentence for a serious offencea and be thereupon struck the Chief Justice. For the contempt of court the Chief Justice ordered Taylor to receive 30 lashes and to be sent to penal servitude for life. Mr Pickersgill had no hesitation in saying that the I outrage which the Chief Justice thus committed on Taylor was as lawbfm '\is the outrage which Taylor committed on the Chief Justice. Baron de WORMS said the evidence indicated that the assault committed by the convict upon the Chief Justice had every appearance of being within intent to murder. The judge acted hastily, and under tho impression that he bad the power to inflict the sentence be did. The Governor of the Bahamas had reversed the sentence of imprisonment inflicted upon Thomas Taylor, but the flogging could not be recalled. The judge had been censured by the Colonial Secretary, and there was no reason to fear such an unfortunate event would occur again. Mr PICKERSGILL insisted on a division, and bis motion was defeated by 106 to 77. Other votes were agreed to, and progress was reported. It being now nearly seven o'clock, the sitting was suspended for two hours. RESUMED SITTING. At nine o'clock the sitting was resumed. On the motion for Roiug into committee of supply, Me SAMUEL SMITH drew attention td the opium trade with China; moved tnat the House viewed with deep regret the history of our opium policy towards China, and urged upon her Majesty's Government to iDtimate to the Chinese Govern- ment that in the next revision of the Treaty of Tientsin full power would be given to extinguish the trade in opium. Sir J. PEASE seconded the motiou. LEFT SITTING.] Ihe Press Association understands that Mr Bradlaugh'a motion on the subject of perpetual pensions will be seconded by Mr Hanbury, and will be supported by 12 or 14 other (Conservative members. The motion is to be put down either as the first or second order on May 16th, and if the debate should not be finished before dinner it is agreed that the Government shall move the closure. A committee of Radical members will issue a whip for the division. As many as 23 Welsh members were absent from the division which took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday night on Mr Allanson Picton's motion with reference to the disestablish- ment of the Church in Wales. Mr Arthur Williams was prevented from voting on Mr Picton's motion through being detained at a meeting of the board of directors of the National Liberal Club Buildings Company. The directors of this company receive no fees. It has been arranged that the discussion on the new Code shall be taken on the education vote. It is not expected that the vote will be taken till June; but in the meantime the Government will give a public assurance that the changes in the code will not be carried out till Parliament has bad an opportunity of discussing the subject. At a future stage of the resolutions on which the Budget Bill is to be founded an amendment will be moved from the front Opposition bench upon the resolution fixing the duty on successions to the value of £10.000 and upwards. It will be framed with the object of removing the anomaly pointed out last night by Mr Gladstone, by which real property may escape the imposition of the increased tax,

u: AiR NOAH ItEES'S CANDIDA- TURE. AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. VIGOROUS SPEECHES BY MR REES JONES AND MR J. H. JONES. So far the activity of the supporters of Mr Noah Rees's candidature for the vacancy in the West Ward, Cardiff, has been displayed in practical work, including a vigorous and thorough canvass; but on Friday evening the first public manifestation of feeling appeared in the shape of a crowded meeting held in the Colonial-hall. The en. tbusiasm of the audience was in itself significant enough-, but the composition of the supporters of Mr Ress who occupied the platform was a remarkable confutation of the statements with regard to disunion which have bean promulgated by the Tory party. The Senior Liberal Association was represented in the person of its president, who acted as chairman; the Junior Liberal Association was equally in evidence, Mr Edward Thomas, its official bead, delivering a vigorous address, while the Irish party and the trades' unionists were particularly well repre- sented. The proceeding were throughout most unanimous and cordial, and some of the most telling speeches were made by members of the supposed disaffected sections of the party. A tone of complete confidence prevailed, and the reception which Mr Noah Rees obtained might weil have reassured him—if misgivings he ever had-as to the result of the election. The candidate is not a practised public speaker, but his remarks displayed that common seuse which is not always associated with noisier aspirants to the council. He carefully avoided dealing with the more contentious and personal aspects of the election, and contented himself with expressing his views on practical questions, On Friday evening a large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Cardiff in the Colonial-ball in support of the candidature of Mr Noah Rees for the vacancy in the West Ward, Mr Rees Jones presided, and in addition to the candidate there were present, amongst other- Aldermen Lewis and D. E. Jones Councillors T. Rees, P. Price, W. Sanders, J. Ramsdale, R. Bird, J. H. Jones, F. J. Beavan, W. Lewii>, W. E. Vaughan, S. Mildon, D. Richards, and E. lierne Messrs E. Thomas (Coehvarv), T. Jenkins, W. H. Allen, Tapp, A. Llewellyn, Dr Mullin, T. Callaghau, W. F. Short, T. L. Whitt, Allen Upward, D. Lewis, James Morgau, Solomon Andrews, J. H. Davies, T. Donovan, H. H. Jones, R. Nash, W. Zuzzen, A. Burgess, R. Benjamin, J. lugs, W. If. Elliott, W. Leyshon, W. Fitzgerald Fitz- patrick, Rev George Hargreaves, Messrs S. Batchelor, C. Batchelor, A. Williams, and J. S. Stowe. Mr REna JONES, who was greeted with Icud cheers, read a letter from Mr Richard Cory, in which that gentleman regretted his inability to attend, adding, I cordially wish Mr Noah Rees success, as he is most eligible." (Cheers.) That was, he said, the verdict of one who had had much experience himself in the council chamber. He desired to refer to Mr Carr in a kindly way. He thought the Liberal party were under a debt of gratitude to him. (Hear, hear.) In fact, he thought that he came forward for the "d vantage of the Liberal Association. He did for it what Cockle's pills were said to do for the human system he kept their organisation in good order (laughter) and he prepared them for the great events which came round from time to time when they had to elect their member of Parliament. Their local Parliament was an institution of scarcely less importance to them. They had individually and collectively as a community at Cardiii the strongest possible interest, because they had the gravest consideration to deal with as to the man whom they wished to represent them in that assembly. Now, his objections to Mr C"rr were twofold. First of all, politically speaking. (Hear, hear.) If they had introduced the ques- tion of politics into their municipal matters at all, the responsibility was not upon the Liberal party of Cardiff. (Hear, hear.) He bad been himself for many years a member of the town council, and he could speak with some authority and experience as to its past history, at any rate, during the period in which he was a member of it. He could safely assert, without fear of contradiction, that politics were never deemed a consideration with the Liberal party when it bad a preponderance of power. But no sooner, by a combination of circumstances which he scarcely knew how to explain, did the Tories suddenly find themselves in a majority than they immediately asserted themselves in the most pronounced form, and ousted from every position of advantage or influence upon which they could bring their majority to bear those members who had endured the heat and burden of the day, and who had served their constituencies faithfully and weil. (Hear, hear.) Consequently the Liberal party in Cardiff bad found it incumbent upon them to take a political view of these questions. They were perfectly justified in doing so, and had been prompted to ttiac course of action by the necessity of resisting every attempt that might be made to re-introduce a majority of Tories upon the town council. Notwithstanding the extraordinary guise in which be represented himself —on this occasion only—(laughter and cheers)—he objected to Mr Carr most distinctly from a political point of view. He also objected to him personally. (Hear, bear.) lie was going to limit his personal observations simply to the particular line of conduct which Mr Carr adoDted in presenting himself to the constituency on the present occasion. Ho disliked a man who turned his coat right inside out. (Cheers.) They had seen men who performed most extraordinary antics, twisting their legs round their neck and looking under their legs. He rather admired it when he had gone expressly to see it, but be did not like to see it, politically speaking, in the man who presented himself as a claimant upon their confidence. That was very much the position in which he understood Mr Carr to come before them. (Hear, hear.) He had allied himseit—or professed to have done so-with those to whom he had been twice antagonistic up to this time and if ho came up in this peculiar guise to ask them to give a proof of confidence by sending him to represent them upon very important engagemeuts, they would each respectfully say, ".NLO, 1 don't like you, sir." (Loud cheers.) That was a personal objection be had to Mr Oarr. As to the trades unionists' they had beard a great deal of his being a champion of their interests. (A voice: "It's bosh.") He could not believe him- self that the hard-headed men whom lie had been accustomed to know in associating with the management of trades' unionist affairs were going to be fooled by the subterfuges of Mr Carr. (Hear, hear.) He could understand that here and there, as they might find in all associations and institutions, some misguided and disappointed man might assert himself as the voice of the general body without having any authority to speak in its name. He could understand that under that standpoint some of the trades' unionists might have gone with a semblance of authority to speak in their name. and if be undorstood what he had read in the newspapers, that was the case. He believed Mr Carr might impose upon himself, but he could not impose upon the hard-headed working Community of Cardiff. (liou-d cheers.) He considered that the duty of a town councillor was one that involved very marked characteristics on the part of the man who discharged his duty faithfully, and he hoped and believed that the voters and burgesses in the West Ward would have too much good sense to send to the council one who had presented himself first in one character and then in another in preference to an old and tried man like Mr Noah Rees, who had been before the town of Cardiff from his youth, and bad maintained a pureness of character and honesty in all his dealings with his fellowinen-(ehoers)-and who, by the careful discharge of his duties relating to his own business, commended himself as the man best qualified to take oare of theirs, (Loud applause.) Mr J. H. JONES proposed the following resolu- tion That this meeting of burgesses of the West Ward pledges itself to secure the triumphant return of Mr Noah ltees, the Liberal candidate in this election. believing him to be by his long acqaaintauce with the ward, and,by his sterling character and pronounced Liberal principles, truly worthy of support. Each time they had to come before the electors, be remarked, the situation changed, and he took it that there would be no necessity to refer to the back questions of Mr Carr's municipal fighting, for they were as thoroughly thrashed out on those occasions as Mr Carr was thrashed himself by the results of the elections. (Laughter and cheers.) It seemed as if the whole of the fighting of the town bad been monopolised by the West Ward, and he would hail it with satisfaction if they had really some- thing tangible to fifthc. They wanted no paper business of this sort, a kind of will-o'-the-wisp, who Was here to-day and there to-morrow. (Laughter.) If they bad a man whose views as I expressed in his address reflected the man's own opinions, and they could judge of him by the experience of a lifetime, they would know how to test those views. What .were Mr Cart's views at the present moment in that effusion which he dignified by the name of an address ? He could not conceive of a greater insult offered to a body of intelligent men than the issuing of that impudent epistle. (Cheers.) It was impudent in its professions. The two professions were hia wonderful love and affection for trades unionism Rnd hie overpoweriug love and passion for free education. (Laughter.) He (Mr Jones) asked them whether those two positions which Mr Carr bad taken up needed any comment from him or anybody else to justify them in styling the address as being impudent and reckless in the extreme. (Hear, hear.) What was Mr Carr's trades unionism ? (A voice A magic lantern.") Well, the magic lantern was very mucil "ut of gear. He was not a member of the body. There was a very large number of trades' unionists in his employ who were members of the trades' council; and at his instigation they had moved the council to pass, under great opposition, a resolution adopting Mr Carr as its unionist candidate. In one of those interviews with the candidate—not by a repre- sentative of the South Wales Daily News, but of the Western Mail—(laughter)—a week after the vacancy had been declared, he threw politics to the wind, and stated that he wottld only come forward if he were salected unreservedly as a candidate by the trades' unionists. He could understand the next move, how upon pay-night the employes of the Western Mail were induced to bring about tba passing of the resolution in the Typographical Society, heartily supporting the action of the trades' unionists. Now, what was the opinion of the trades' unionists with regard to local contests ? In their report of last year they bad referred to Mr Carr as claiming the support without authority. The fact was that the constitution of trades unionism demanded that questions with regard to matters affecting their interests should be put to the candidates before the adoption of that candidate by the council. Why was that rule departed from on the present occasion ? (Hear, hear.) Mr Noah Rees had not been approached upon the matter. He himself was approached when he contested the ward, and his views were asked and accepted. But there was no political platform for the trades unionists of the town. They asked him if he was in favour of opening the committees of the cor- poration to the press, and of employing local labour in the corporation work. These were questions which he admitted affected them. but there was no principle involved. There was no political programme per se which could be adopted by a council of that sort. There was a dispute between the Trades' Council and Mr Jotham after his election, and a representative of the central body of the trades' unionists of the kingdom bad come down to settle it. As soon as he found there was an attempt to make political capital of the matter be refused to interfere, (Cheers.) The danger of thus encroaching upon the field of politics was that it might prove disastrous to the trades' unionists themselves. He hoped that if there were any of the number who had not irretrievably committed themselves they would use that intelligence which invariably signalised the British working man, and recognise t-h!l-: thaw ware* 't,t. h.t..r1 Kn (KA %.A*yv lution of the Trades' Council. With regard to the manifesto of the council which bad just been issued,in which they referred their "Irish brethren," he would remind them that it had been said in the enemies' camp that as the Liberals had 240 Irish votes, it was impossible to wrest from them a seat in theWest Ward. Itwaswitb the hope that the Irish might be carried away from their allegiance by a trick of that sort that a strong appeal had been made to them. He need hardly say a word because they were faithful to a man. He ventured to assert that there would not be a single Irish secession upon the present occasion. (Cheers.) But the language of the manifesto had let the cat out of the bag. It had been argued that the Irish candidates for the board of guardians did not gat in because they did not receive the support which should have been given them. What had that to do with trades' unionism ? Then another paragraph dealt with the fact that the Western Mail was a trades' unionist shop, while the South, Wales Daily News was asserted to be a rat shop. What had that to do with municipal matters ? It was right for the Western Mail to manage their affairs as they thought best, but lie refused to have it made an issue in the election, a test for municipal qualification,that the South Wales Dail News was not as the Western Mail would have it be. He laughed at the pretensions of Mr Carr as an advocate of free education. They would remember the attitude he had taken with regard to the matter. But what was the outcome of his utterances as late as the election of June, 1838, and in November last ? In his wonderful scheme for the disposal of Wolis' Charity, how did he deal with the question ? The income was so much, he toid them, the school fees payable by the poor of the town were so much he was going to educate half the town with the proceeds of the charity. Could they not see that the very idea was formed for the purpose of cutting from the poor what they could claim as a right? Each working man throughout the land could claim free education if he could not afford to pay for it. He could claim it as a right under the law as it stood. What would have been the result if Mr Carr had had his scheme c&rried into operation? It would have simply lessened the rates of the ricb ratepay- ing population in Cardiff for thnpurpose of avoiding the legitimate operation of the Education Act. Was that like free education. It was only upon the eve of an election that he had come round gradually and ad vacated free education. What were they goiug to have next? Would ho come forward as a supporter of disestablishment— (laughter)-of local option—(renewed laughter)— were they going to get the whole platform of the Liberal party advocated by him little by little? He did not believe they would be hoodwinked by such pretensions, but that they would rally round an old and known friend of the Liberal cause, and a worthy and competent man, Mr Noah Rees. (Loud cheers.) Mr E. THOMAS (Oochvarv) seconded the resolu- tion, remarking that for the 14th time had he canvassed on behalf of the Liberal candidate in the West Ward, and he could testify that the present canvass book was the most promising he had ever held. (Applause.) As the chairman of the Junior Liberal Association, he felt bound to point out that they had demonstrated their allegiance to Mr Noah Rees by placing their rooms entirely at his disposal. From hie own knowledge of the Irish electors, and he was an active member of the Wolfe Tone Lodge of the Irish National League, he could assure his hearers they could rely upon the Irish party turning up on the right side on the ejection day. (Applause.) Mr i ITZGKRALI>, Ryder-street, who supported the resolution, said he was rather inclined to believe that tho Tory party themselves had no confidence in Me Garr, (Hear, hear.) And could the trades' Unionists honestly believe that Mr Catr was their champion r Did they want"a champion ? and when they did want one, where were Mr Carr and the rest of the Tory party ? (Applause.) The only champions Trades' Union- ism had were the working classes, from whom it was constituted, and who had always been crushed and repressed by the Tories. (Applause.) Mr W. H. ALLEN, as a trades' unionist, desired to enter his protest against the action of the Trades' Council in pretending to accept the offer of Mr L. Carr. (Applause.) He personally could find no record of anything good that Mr Carr had done for trades' unionism. He had certainly vilified and insulted their leaders that was to say the Liberal leaders. They had heard a lot of talk about unionism apart from politics. It was for him an impossibility to separate them. His trades' unionism was the outcome of his Liberalism. It was a fallacy for any labour party to think to gain their ends uuless they allied themselves with a political party. The Tory party had consistently refused to assist them, and it was from the Liberal party alone, led by the Grand Old Man, that they bad received any benefit. And Mr Carr had always insulted their friends in the past. At one time an epitaph Was written by someone signing himself Censor," and it insulted the memory of John Batchelor, a man who lived poor and died poor for the sake of the working classes of Cardiff. By serving the Bute interest he had all to gain, and all to lose by not serving it. But Mr Batchelor chose to serve the people, and let the people revere his memory by supporting the true repiesentative of the party of which he was an honoured member. (Loud cheers.) Mr CALLAGHAN, who was received with loud cheers, supported the resolution. He observed that this was not the first time he had appeared to speak against Mr Carr, but he hoped it would be the last. Lord Salisbury had recently used the simile of the thimble and the pea. There were generally three thimbles and one pea, the poa being under one of them. But he hoped that when Mr Carr lifted the third thimble he would still discover that the pea was not there. (Laughter and prolonged cheers.) He felt assured that his fellow countrymen- would not be led astray by a little flittery they had received of lata in the columns of the Western Mail. There was a time when Mr Carr said that he would not cross the road to obtain an Irish vota. How could Irishmen support him? (Hear, bear.) It Was like his impudence to ask them for a vote, Mr Carr had made a great many mistakes, and he had paid for them. (Laughter.) However, this time they would probably hear the last of Mr Carr. (Cheers.) Mr NOAH REES then, in response to an invi- tation by the chairman, delivered a brief address to the electors, being enthusiastically received. He said that he stood before them as the candidate for the West Ward if they found him to be worthy of the honour of representing them. (Applause.) Very reluctantly had he promised to come forward as be did and aspire to the honour of public life. He had during many past years been asked by the rate- payers of the East and West Wards why he did not obtain a seat in thfe council, but he had felt be had no time to devote himself to municipal matters. Neither bad he the ambition. But when the deputation that waited upon him twice came for the third time and said, Whom shall we send to represent the ratepayers if our experienced men will not take the lead ?" he gave w,;y to their request. (Applause.) He was experienced in the matter of his own business, and he had sufficient confidence in himself to say that ha would faithfully do the work of the ratepayers if they honoured him with a seat in the town council. (Loud cheers.) Appeals had been made to the Irishmen in the ward to vote for Mr Carr, but the 280 Irish voters were like a stone wall in their opposition to him, (Cheers.) He (the peaker) had always been a Gladstonian, and that meant that he was in favour of Home Rule. (Applause.) He referred to the necessity for a roadway from the Wood-street Bridge to the Great Western Railway Station, and promised that he would endeavour to keep down the rateli as much as possible he would look after their interests as well as he would after his own. (Hear, hear.) Regarding the opening of corpora- tion committees, he had long advocated this principle—(hear, hear)—but there were occasions when big schemes were on foot when, if particu- lars were disclosed at the commencement, the interests of the town and of the ratepayers would suffer. (Some dissent.) They must allow him to exercise his common sense. Regarding sweating in corporation contracts, every judicious man would be against it, for how could a Cardiff tradesman pay his rent and taxes if lie had not fair play. He believed in spending money in the town, and had always done it him- self. (Applause.) If the Taff could be weired economically and effectually he would support the schema. Touching free education, it was ridicu- lous to hear the Western Mail speaking of it. He was 22 years of age before ha knew the A.B.O. or could speak a word of English, so he knew the value of free education, as be had been obliged to spend his own mouey to procure his education. (Applause.) He concluded by stating that it was time Wales possessed her own system of educa- tion, and not be Compelled to send for her scientific men to England and elsewhere. (Applause.) The resolution was than carried unanimously, Mr F. J. BEAVAN, who next spoke, said that Mr Catr's address was that of a political, artful dodger. He fancied he was wiser than the West Ward electors, and bad the gross impertinence to say that he represented the working classes, although for years ha had been associated with the party that had everlastingly gon6 against working men. They wanted men of probity and conscience in the corporation, and not men like Mr Carr. (Cheers.) Mr TArP, whe followed, pointed out that Mr Carr had supported the Bute Dock Labour Clauses, and if these had come into force the working men might as well have been in Siberia as in Cardiff. Mr ALFRED LLEWELLYN said that at first he believed Mr Carr was prepared to turn right round upon his former principles, so he went round to his committee room to have a look in. But be saw a man sitting at the table writing who bad opposed to the utmost of his powers the working classes in times past. That man was the well-known lawyer who was sometimes called the If beardless youth," and the eight of that man made him turn away. (Laughter.) COUnCillOr RAMSDALE, who followed, in the course of a stirring speech, said that the Liberals of the town had not forgotten the jobbery of the Tory majority in the corporation. The alder- manic bench told its tale, and so did the election of a certain mayor, the Wells Charity, and the Pilotage Board. (Hear, hear.) Alderman LEWIS moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was seconded by Dr MULLIN, the latter gentleman remarking that Mr Carr bad not changed his opinions, for be had none to change. He spoke to his brief, and appeared to have a most thorough contempt for the party which he supported. (Laughter.) The compliment having been girCEtaod acknow- ledged, the meeting dispersed.
A WORD TO CONSERVATIVES.
A WORD TO CONSERVATIVES. TO THE EDITOK. SiB,—It would not be of much use my sending this letter to the organ of our Conservative party, so I send it to you, notwithstanding the fact that you represent the views of the Radicals. Mr Carr is a Tory, and yet he has thrown over the Conservative party in the ward. He says that, supposing be is returned, it will not be as a Conservative, nor will the victory, if achieved, be considered a Conservative triumph that he is solely a trades' unionist nominee, This attitude, while, perhaps, giving Mr Carr personally a chance of election, means the total effacement of our party in the ward, and the complete demoralization of our workers. The trades' unionist cry is, as Mr Carr must know, an undiluted humbug, and, besides getting no more new votes for our side, it is doing harm among our own supporters, who hate trades unionist ideas as much as Mepbistopheles is said to detest holy water. You Radicals and Separa- tists mean to win this election, and I believe you will, and my advice to my fellow Tories in the ward is not to vote at all, but to allow Mr Carr to be defeated as the trades unionists' candidate, and not as a Conservative. I believe in political principles, and I would not sink mine merely to endeavour to secure a seat on the council at the cost of sacrificing principles, —I am, &c., A TRUE BLUE TORY. May 3rd, 1889.

RHONDDA CHAMBER OFI TRADE.I
RHONDDA CHAMBER OF TRADE. MUNIFICENCE OF MRS LLEWELLYN, BAGLAN HALL. The Rhondda Valley Chamber of Trade met at Pentre on Thursday evening, under the presi- dency of Mr E. H. Davies. Judge Gwilym Williams, the president, had resigned office last January, A deputation bad since waited on his Honour earnestly asking him to continue in office. As no reply had since been received from Judge Wil- liams {who had promised to consider the request), his Honour w&3 re-elected to the presidency.— With regard to the proposed town hall and library for Peutre (adjourned), the Chairman remarked lie had been informed that Mrs Llewellyn, Bag.an Hal], Neatb, would present che inhabitants of Pentre with a substantial build ing-whettier it would be hospital, library, or town-hall, bo could not say. Mrs Llewellyn had decided to have a "seat" erected at Poutre, and would live amongst the residents for two or three months a year.- Touching the proposed revision of the railway rates, the secretary stated that drapers and other tradesmen would be seriously burdened if certain classes in the hst of new rates were not altered, and the charges reduced. Drapers, who generally received goods from London, packed in costly boxes, would have to pay, according to the new rates, 903 per ton for returning the empties and if an article weighed a fraction over a ton, the receiver or sender would be charged for 25 cwt. The secretary and five members were appointed to attend a meeting of the Federated Chamber,to be held on Thursday next, to discuss final arrangements as to the course the chambers will adopt.—Mr J. Morgau (Havod) proposed that tho Rhondda branch of the Tuff Vale Railway be made into a main line. He said that out of every six tons of coal conveyod to Cardiff Docks, five were from the Rhondda Valleys. Again, 90 per cent. of the passengers to Pontypridd came from the Rhoudda Valleys only ten per cent. came from the direction of Merthyr or Aberdare. The Rhondda was the most important mining district in Wales, and its demands should be immediately conceded.—A deputation was appointed to wait upon the directors of the l'aff Vale Railway in regard to the matter.

THE " HOPCRAFT" FURNACE.
THE HOPCRAFT" FURNACE. Particulars appear in an advertisement column of an important departure in the mechanical forming of steam-boiler furnaces, which has been invented by Mr Lewis Hopcraft, The object of the invention is to utilise the small or dust of coal, which has an equal heat-giving power to the larger sort, but is at present invariably wasted. The furnace, which consists of a mechanical under-feeding, self-stoking, and perfectly smokeless grate, can be applied to existing furnaces, and burns any sort of coal, and its eff- ct is to save about 50 per cent. in the cost of fuel, while at the same time a largely increased duty is obtained from the broker. The invention has been tried recently to the steamer Lotus, belbuging to tho Victoria Steamboat Association, with the most surprising and satisfactory results. The company has given orders for seven more of the boats to be fitted on this principle.

THE ALLEGED WHOLESALE ROBBERY…
THE ALLEGED WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF TIN AT NEATH. A SINGULAR CASE. At the Neath borough police-court yesterday— before the Mayor—James Alford, sen., and James Alford, jun. (father and son), of 38, Crythan road, Melincrythftn, Neath, were brought up in custody charged with stealing 63lbs of block tin, the property of Messrs Leach, Flower, and Co., Limited. Mr S. T. Evans prosecuted, and at the outset said that he did not propose to offer any evidence at present against the younger defendant, who was thereupon discharged. —Henry Machen, tinman, was afterwards called, and said that on Wednesday prisoner asked him if be would buy some block tin. Witness replied he would if prisoner had come by it honestly. Prisoner said that he did, and added I am a regular John Bull." He explained that he bad picked the tin up at various times in the ashes and run it into a mould be had made himself. Witness agreed to give 8d per Ib for the tin, but having his suspicions aroused in the matter, afterwards gave information to the police, who, when prisoner came to the shop later on with 141bs of tin, enquired of him where he had got it. Prisoner repeated his previous statement, but Superintendent Evans arrested him. Ou searching prisoner's house, the police found in a grate in the parlour four more ingots of tin. Prisoner's explanation to the police about this matter was that be had these ingots from a man named "Griff" (Griffith Jones), night fireman at the tinworks. He had given Griff 5s for them. Afterwards, when confronted with Griff," prisoner said that he had not received them himself, but that bis son Jim did all the transaction.- \Vi Ilia m Rosser, superintendent of the tin-house, said prisoner had been employed as a boxer at the works. He left there on the Saturday before Easter. Tin had been frccueutly missed from the works. He identified the tin recovered. The total value was £ 2 15 31.— Griffith Jones, fireman, said he had never given any tin to prisoner or his son, nor anyone else, nor had he received 5* from either of them.— Replying to the charge, the prisoner said, I am guilty of receiving the tin in my house, but not of taking it from the works. I have not put my foot inside the works since the last time I worked there." Pointing to Griffith Jones, prisoner added, That is tha gentleman it baa come through; I am only the receiver."—Prisoner wished to have his son called to prove what be said, but eventually decided not to call him.- Prisoner was then committed for trial at the next quarter sessions. Bail was accepted—prisoner himself in £100 and two sureties in 250 each.
NORTH'S NAVIGATION COLLIERIES…
NORTH'S NAVIGATION COL- LIERIES COMPANY. On Friday afternoon the statutory meeting of the shareholders of the above company was held at Winchester House, Old Broad-street, Mr R. R, Lockett (Liverpool) preciding.-Tite Chairman said that during the time that the company had bean working the coal trade bad bean in a flourishing condition, and better prices had also been obtained for the iron. He was, therefore, able to teli them that they had good reason to be satisfied with the progress up to the present. A portion of their contracts had. beeu made at lower prices than were now ruling, but a number of those bad run off, and they bad replaced them with others at higher prices. He thought he should mention why that company differed from the one which held their property previously. Their company was essentially a colliery company, and not an iron company, although it comprised a small ironworks, which had steadily shown good results. The Llynvi Ironworks, which had been standing idle for two years, were to be broken up and sold within a few weeks. The directors bad reason to expect that a substantial sum would result to the company as the proceeds of the sale. The company possessed a largtl field of steam coal which was altogether superior to the coal generally known as bunker coal. The question was some- times asked why their predecessors did not reap from that the full benefit which the present company anticipated. The answer was that hitherto the company's coal properties bad not been developed or introduced to the best markets. This the present company had taken steps to secure. The directors were cakiug advantage of the present good times to make euch additions and alterations to the company's property as would, they were confident, insure them against the effect on their dividend of any ordinary depression. In short, the shareholders bad a property which under practical and econ- omical conditions lie was satisfied would pay good and steady dividends through good times and bad, with a balance in addition to torm a substantial reserve fund. It was the intention of the direc- tors to issue balance-sheets half-yearly, and therefore they would have the opportunity of meeting the shareholders again at the end of Ju!y I or beginning of August.—Mi Dobson asked whether the directors could give any idea of the dividend they would declare,-The Chairman We hope to pay at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. (Cheers.)—The proceedings terminated shortly afterwards with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

He referred to a board which had been very flourishing in the past,It was agreed that a conference of the board and the masters and mistresses should be called for the 11th inst. to consider the subject of the code.—The general purposes committee had discussed the subject of the advanced elementary schools, and decided not to recommend a reduction of the present fee or any alteration in the standard for admission.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A CARDIFF…
THE CHARGE AGAINST A CARDIFF ACCOUNTANT. At Cardiff police-court yesterJay-before Mr T. W. Lewis (stipendiary), Dr Paine, And Mr Peter Price- \ViUiaUJ Duncan Hannay (24) was chargod on remand with being a servant or the Cardiff Railway Workmen's Cottage Company, Limited, and with feloniously emoezziing the sum of £ 126 19-s Id, the money of fche said em' ployers, 011 March 22ud last. Mr Arthur Lewis, bat rister-at-law, prosecuted, aud Mr T. H. Belcher defended. Mr Arthur Lewis briefly detailed the facts of the case. On May 3rd, 1888, prisoner was, he said, appointed secretary to the company at a salary of jBlpar month. His duties were to keep all the books of the company, amongst which was the rent book to receive all moneys collected by the collector in the way of rent, aud to pay them into the bank. He kept a rent book in which he entered, or ought to have entered, all the sums which he received from the collector, and these sums were made up from rent sheets. Down to the end of June matters seemed to have gone fairly regularly but from the period commencing at the end of June to the end of the year be appears to have carried on his business in a very irregular manner. In August and Septem- ber he would be able to show that he embezzled a very considerable sum of money, the property of the Cottage Company. A number of witnesses were called in oupport of the opening statement. Detective Fowler stated that he had received the prisoner from the custody of the police at Walsall. When charged Hannay said nothing. He had made inquiries, and found that the prisoner had not bsen seen in Cardiff for six weeks before the day of his arrest. Prisoner was committed to the quarter sessions. Bail was granted, the prisoner to enter into his own recognisances for a sum of £ 100, and to find two sureties of j650 each.

At tlw (wn-monthly meeting of the Rhondda Colliery Officials' Association, held on Friday evening at the Porth Hotel, Porth, under the presidency of Mr W. Jenkins, general manager of the Ocean Collieries, an instructive discussion took place on the paper read by Mr Wight, Cwmamman, on 1" Colliery Baltmoa Screens" at the previous meeting. Mr Wight claimed that the curved bar screen cleaned the coal very much more thoroughly than old screenf4 did, and prevented the coal being broken. The committee appointed to conduct a series of experiments with safety lamps presented their report,in which the two-third shield Cianny lamp was condemned. The experiment* bad been carried out at the Cytnmer Colliery. A hearty vote of thauks was passed to Messrs Insole, the colliery owners, for their assistance. An excellent paper on Timbering in Miues was read by Mr Jacob Ray, Too, and will be discussed at the next meeting. _u.

ITHE ATTACK ON FRENCHMEN
I THE ATTACK ON FRENCHMEN I, POLICE-COURT PROCEEDINGS AT LITTLEDEAN, EXEMPLARY PENALTIES IMPOSED. The brutal and cowardly assault on Frenchmen in the Forest of Dean bad its sequel yesterday in police-court proceedings, at Littledean, against a number of persons supposed to have been leaders in the shameful affray. The warrants charged George Wilks, innkeeper; Henry Baldwin, George Tippins, and Arthur Goldine, married men and Robert Wilks, William Williams, William Baldwin, E. Cinderly, George Rawlins, Joseph Hopkins, Thomas Meek, Isaac Baldwin, Joseph Hardwick, Sidney Rawlins, and George Tippins, nearly all of whom were colliers, that they unlawfully and maliciously did kill certain animals, to wit, two bears, the property of Gabriel Q tgant Tas, Gftbriel Baluit Hugent, Sergaint Thomas, and Gerard Alfred, the same being ordinarily kept in confinement. In a farther warrant defendants were charged with assaulting these me", they being French subjects. Mr H. F. Goold and Mr Whatley appeared to represent the prisoners, and Mr Lsngley Smith, Gloucester (instructed by Mr Karn), French Vice-Consul, Gloucester, watched the casa on behalf of the Frenchmen. Mr W. H. Leach (Gloucester) was engaged as interpreter. Mr Whatley appeared for the two Robbins, Isaac Baldwin, Arthur Golding, and Hopkins. Hard. wick was unrepresented, and Mr Goold was for the remainder. The assault case was first heard, and prisoners elected to be dealt with by the bench. Gabriel Hugent, examined, deposed through tlin interpreter, who was sworn, that at 6.30 p.m. on Friday, 26;h April, he and his fellow-countrymen were pertorming with three bears atL-mderford. A number of children fol- lowed, and later on some men threw stones at them. They went on and were followed by the colliers, who showered stones at them and attacked them violently. Witness was knocked down twice and brutally kicked. Ho found refuge in a house. Wilks was at the head of the mob, and struck witness with a stick,—Similar evidence was given by Gabriel Tas. Gerard Alfred, sworn, said he remembered seeing a number of men following them at the time in question. Witness picked up his comrade, who was knocked down. Witness stopped in the wood all that night. The one in the corner, George Wilks, was the first to begin the row, and was the strongest man to hit the bears." James Barnett said that od the evening in question, hearing a commotion, be saw a crowd going toward Ruardean. He saw George Wiiks among them like the rest crying out, "Go in, lads." The prosecutors and tho bears had passed, Cross-examined by Mr Goold: Witness con- sidered Wilks a very highly respectable man. He repeated his remarks several times. Milson Sim.monds said he saw the Frenchmen and the bears running towards Ruardean. The crowd were 20 yards behind, stoning the foreigners and their bears. He identified George 'Vilkq, Robert Wilks, Isaac Robert", Baldwin, and Meek. He beard Wilks say, "Come on, lads don't be frightened." Witness saw the men and the bears hit with stones. The prisoners had sticks, and threw stones. The smaller bear ran into a shed at the house occupied by a man named Knight, and most of the prisoners followed. Witness saw Wm.

Tito total Cost Of the edifice has been about £1,000, towards which JE600 has been raised. Expense of maintaining the services will be borne, as far as necessary, by private subscription. The first churchwardens are Mr Dunn (Crofta) and Mr D. Williams (Henstnff). There were a series of services during the day, four preachers occupiDg the pulpit, and English and Welsh sermons equally dividing attention. The Bishop of Ll»nd»ff, Canou Evans Tll()mas (Rhymney), Riv K. Thomas (Skewen), and the Rev W. Lewis (Ystradvfodwg) were the selected preachers, and large congregations were attracted. The church was during the morning service over- crowded, it being necessary to place extra seats in the aisle, and a number ot persons beingcompelled to stand throughout the service. Visitors to the village had been conveyed from Cardiff, where brakes were announced to run early in the morniug, and there was a large representation of non-parishioners. The clergy were in strong force, among those present being the Vicar of Pentyrch (Rev T. Raes)—who, with his curate (the Rev Morgan Thomas), took part in the services-Revs J. P. Hughes and LJ. Davies (Llantrissant), H. G. Williams (Radyi), W. David and Moore (St. Fagau's), Sinnet Jones (St. Bride's-super-Eiy), J. Williams (Pontyclown), J. Williams (Williamstown), A. E.

Mr Wingfield, the donor of the site, was present with Mrs Wingfield Mr Warren (London), Mrs Thompson (Hensol Castle), Mrs Williams and party (Miskin), Mr Dunn, the Misses Lewis (Tynycymmer), and many other supporters from a distance. An interesting incident of the morning service was the baptism of two children by the bishop. In the course of his sermon, which was based upon the words, "Simon, son of Jonits, lovest thou me t" the bishop took occasion to refer to the tithe question. The reference was a merely incidental one, the sermon being in the main an exposition of the text. His lordship declared it to be u abomin- ably dishonest to refuse payment of tithe, com- parable to tbe act of a man who should take money from his lordship's pocket, and he dwelt also upon the fact that the edifice had beeo raised by private subscription.

Williams proposed, and Councillor Richard Lewis seconded, the following proposition That tlliG meeting is of opinion that the Sunday- closing Act, notwiths anding its defects, has been the means of producing a decided improvement throughout the Miii-ltliondda district and it further hails with satisfaction the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into its operation, believing that such an inquiry, if fairly conducted, cannot fail to lead ultimately to the amendment of tbe act in the direction of eliminating the bona tide traveller clause,and totally prohibiting the sale of all intoxicating drinks on Sun. day. The proposition was carried.

----------------CRICKET.
CRICKET. MR BRAIN' Xl v CARDIFF. In the sense that it did not rain the weather at Cardiff yesterday when play was commenced in too above two day match may be described as tine. It was not cricketers' weather, nevertheless, overhanging clouds threatening a down¡>O\lr, and a fairly cold breeze sweeping across the park. Mr Brain lnd got together a really formidable eleven, including the champion, Dr W. G. Grace, Euckiaud (Middlesex, late of Oxford University), G. W. Ricketts (Surrey), G. Francis 'Gloucestershire!, K. L. Griffiths (Gloucestershire), Newnhaui, (Glouyestershi e). Vernon Hill (Somerset), and E. Hill (S m^r» set). To do battle with these Cardiff bad a rt j.^esentative eleven in the field, Wilkinson, the newlV-.engaged professional, playing for them tor tbe first tii>ie. A splendid wicket had been prepared by Mettha'u, the new ground man. Indeed, on inspecting it. Dr W G. Grac$is reported to have said it was worth travelling a hundred niiits to play on such a wicket. Precisely at twelve o'clock a start was made, Cardiff, who batted tirst sandinit iu 1. Robinson and D. E. Jones, to the bowling of i'uckland and the Doc or." The latter started operations from the Park--treet' end, I), his oper.'ng delivery proved disastrous for Cardiff, Robin- son, "perhaos v'18 most prolittc run getter in the eleven, being clean bowled. Wilkinson cante in, aul after a maiden ov ar was sent down, the boil- iug beaig ioo KOis't iu UMD ,srrt^ Wilkinson was the first to score, after some miuutej of steady piay getting Bucklan-i away for a si,,K)e_ Afterwards he was appiauded for a hit for four off the champion, but only aoded a single to his total whea It. ball from Buckland beat him. 8-2--7, J. Û. Clarke came in, and Jones twice in succession pot the Champion away for a couple. Clarke was then loudly spnlauded for a brilliant cut for a quartette off BUCK land. A miltute later he repeated this operation. Runs came slowly. Jones got Buckland nicely to leg for three, but immediately after was given out leg before wicket off Grace, 24-3-8. The retiring batsman had exhibited unbounded patience, and although not scoring heavily his innuigs was of immense value to his side. A. W. Morris vas the next to bat. but soon lost, Clarke, run out. 28.4. 14. Mettham filled the vacancy, and without any addi- tion to the score A. W. Morris was cauuht in the long- field off (,race. Mizen, the new comer, did not stay long, being clean bowled by Buckiand. 33-6-1. W. H. Williams followed in, and after stealing a single from Buckland, got the doctor round to leg for a trio. Win the total at 39. Mettham, who bad played care* fuliy and well. put a ball high up into Grace's hands at point, and VV. L. Yora-h faced the bowler. He at once signalliged his advent by sending the doctor to leg in good style for a. couple. Buckland sent down a maiden, and ei'h >r batsmen drove Grace for a single in succession, Yorath cracking tbe last brtll of the ver for thrte. Both batsmen played confidently, and runs came mora freely than at any time during the innings. After scoring eight, however, Yorath was missed clone in, off Grace, and two balls later was taken at mid-ott by Mirchouse, 56—8—8 W. Morgan,, followed in, and with three nips idtled Williams was clean bowled by the Cnampion for a useful and pluckily compiled 16, Nicholls partnered Morgan," and the latter playing on from a delivery of Buckiand the innings closed for 59. ;i The visitors then commenced their innings, it still wanting half all hour to luncheon time, the first men in being the Champion (who was appiauded on emerging from the pavilion) and W. H. Brain Wilkinson started the trundling. T. Kubinson going on at the other end. The Brut ball delivered to Grace produced a leg bye. W. H. Brain scored a single, and Robinson having sent down a maiden, the Champion suiack. d Wilkinson to leg tor four, and hit him for a single. He next drove Robinson all along the ground with a like result. A good bail from the professional trundler, however, got rid of Brain, and when the adjournment for luncheon took place at two o'clock the telegravil indicated that 13 runs bad been compiled for the loss of one t icket.

Kovni 1r:h Disr,"iieru» ;r HOLLOWAT'S PILLS AND OINTMENT are remedies which should invariably be taken by travellers in search of health, pleasure, or business. Ma.ny deleterious influences are constantly at work in foreign climes, tending to deteriorate the health; these and the altered conditions of life will entail on those who travel the necessity of carefully attending to early symptoms of disease, and they will find the use of these remedies to be highly necessary, the action of the Pills being purifying and strengthening, and of great service in cases of fever, ague, and all inflammatory diseases, whilst the Ointment is a sovereign cure in cases of piles, bad legs, bad breasts. wounds, and ulcers. Holloway's remedies do not deteriorate by change of climate.
