ARREST OF AN ALLEGED I CLERICAL IMPOSTOR. A REMARKABLE CASE. The 11 Central Newt" says a great sensation lias been caused by the arrest ot the Rev. Ueorge Frederick Wilfrid El lie, rector of tYetheringsett, near btoneluuu, Suffolk.

The prosecution baa been taken up by the Treasury, and the authorities have information to their pos- session which, they believe, wili ptove the prisoner lias for a Dumber of years followed a career of imposture and fraud.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. I v HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WBDNMDAY, I The Speaker took tlwl da* abottly arm twelve I o'clock. LOCAL BILLS. I The Examiners having reported that the furtlier Standing Orders had been compiled with In the ease of the Llangammarch and Neath and Brecon Junction Hallway Bill, It waa ordered to be put down for eeooad reading, The Barry Dock and Railways (Further Powers) BiU was read a second time and referred to a Select Committee, Mr. Story-Maskelyne (U.. Crickladt), who had given notice to move the rejection of the Bill, did not respond when his name was called. MI. PARNBLLS ARREARS BILL. I MOTION FOR THE SEOOND READING- I DEBATE AND DIVISION. In moving the eecoad rud.DI of the Land Law (Ireland) Acta Amendruent Bill, Mr. PARNELL (8.. Cork) said that it would not be necessary for him to occupy a very great length of time, because the discuseions which had taken place had narrowed the controversy materially. After reviewing the various proposals Which had been made for dealing with the question of arrears in Ireland, the hon. ntomber stated that he and lilt friends still retained an invincible objection to the proposal to solve the question by the general bankruptcy of tlie Irish tensnts. lie hould himself, if no legislation had taken place, have preferred to deal with arrears of rent in Ire- land in the same way in which arrears in Scotland were dealt with under the Crofters Act; but he thought it desirable not to depart from the foun dation laid down by the 30th (Section of the Land Act of last session. That section enacted that courta in which proceedings were taken for nou. payment of rent should have power, within the limit of £50 valuation, to postpone tlie execution of the decrte, and also to spread the debt over such a period as they thought proper by instalments. He "ked the House to go one step further, and give the court power to reduce tue uiuouot of debt and costs in case of rent in such proportion as it thought proper. He siioukl also ask the Houte to extend the application of that Act from cases of A;50 to CUM of 9100 value, in order that it might give reiief to the great body of leaeeholder*. fie would also ask the douse to extend the application of Section 30 to civil caaes for the recovery of rent. Although be had limited the efUct of the Bill to the one of rent, lie wns willing to extend it to all Ctttee covered by Section 30 ot the Act, of last year. Tlittn he proposed toexieud the tiuie for ledenip- tiou to three mouths after tint passing of the pre- sent Bill, provided thiit tlie six months allowed by the Act ot last year had wnjuer expired, l'owor was ilbso giveu to ieduce the amount awarded for reut auu costs wiket-s a decree had been recovered prior to the passing of the Act. That was tlie Bill which he r<jcoaiu>eoded to the tlDu.>8 ou account of the preeeut situation in irelaud. lie would promise to consider any awenduteula that might 00 produced which were consistent wiiii the principle 01 the bill; and he was ready to consent to liwit the operation of the powers oi the Bill to ten years. It Uiey rejected that Bill, it would be the beat ptooi ot tlie impossibility of legislating for lreUnu Iroiu Westminster, (bear, hear.) lis could not, however, promise tliat tlie stiillemeui of the Irish land question on the most just and generous principles would diminish the demand ot the Irish tui the restoration ot an Irish Parliament. (Cheers.) Nr, POWELL WJLLI.M (U., Birmill,vAnt) \ileu uioved by way of amendment:— That no Bill providing for a composition 01 arrears of reut iu Irelsna wüllMJ sallshuUMry W ùU. Uixiw ami eSecUial tur the retlel of the tenants which does lIot lit tlie sum time deal with th«ir debts to olhri vrctlitora besides the iaudiordt, He argued that if one creditor was compelled to couie into court other creditors should also be compelled to come in. It was ot no use to protect tlie tenant from the landlord if they lett him open to We oppression ot the gombeen men and the money-lender. Lord kbKOUTUN (U., bui,lock) seconded the atneudment, and dweii upon tbe general indebted- ness 01 the Irish teuants, and contended that it would do no real goud to relieve them only iroui that portion ot their debts which were due to their landlords. Mr. T. W. KUS3ELL (U., l'yron.) said that he waa going to vote ug.iust tlie (ioveruiuent, to which Its iiad given all almost untioiui support, and he was also going to vote axalnst his own party in the House ot Commons, a course which he certainly should not take except under tbestiongsat tefte of duty. (Cheers.) It might be asked, wiiy sliould this laud quesuou be opened again '( He frankly admitted that Par- liament bad passed !OVUle gl:tmt uieasuies tor the relief of the Irish teuum; but they had never legislated 1101 his lavour until 1870, alter household sudroge bad been established in Uw boroughs, and whatever had been done since had been done against the piolest of Lile It" laudiecda. (Cheers.) Whenever men had stood up and proposeu tv give relief to the Irish tenant farmers they had been met by a noa pouvmm from the other aids of tit. House. (Cheers.) He was prepared to admit the value of what had been done, aud he said that it two or three suiali tbingu were done lie should be prepared to consiuer the question ot laud an closed, except so Isr as a Laud Purchas* bill uuight be cuncosrued. one of the" things was this question of arrears, which could not lie put aside because parties In that Houne were not agreed about u. it iiad been asked why all debts should not be treated alike, for this itasoo, the debts of the shopkeepers had never been questioned, and did not oonsUtub* a dang" to the btate, but the debts ol the landlords had been questioned and had been reduced. He saw no reason why a grocer should be clitated out of his just debts because a landlord was refused the whole ot an unjust debt. (Cheers.) He would go into the lobby with the mem- ber for Cork with a clear conscience. They would have the sight that day ot every Irish member, save and except the landlord party—(citears)—walking low the same lobby, while Liberal and Badical Unionists were trying lo buttress the worse phase of Irish landlordism which had cursed Ireland since the days of tlie IludDre, and which would repeal the Union as sure as late. (Loud cheers.) Colonel SALNUiiKbOM ((:, A)-mayfi, N.) denied tliat tlie maintenance of the Uniou depended on the passing of tills Biil, or that It would be endangered by iu rejection. lie opposed the present BUt because be tliought that the member lor Cork had not made out his case. Mr. CHAJDBFJWAIN observed that the Bill of We member for Cork and the speech in which lie introduced it were characteristic of Irish pro- cedure in reference to this question. That pro- cedure followed three distinct divisions. If he might venture—coining from whence be did-to us* an American expresaion--(& laugh)—Irish members caught on some admitted grievance, then they proceeded to exaggerate the grievance and, Urlrdly, they produced as a remedy proposals that went altogether beyond either the grievance or the exaggerated view of it that they put before the House. Tlie effect of tlUlse proceedings was to continue that unrest which it ought to be the wish of every Irish member to put an end to. (Cbeere.) The object of the Bill was not ths material advantage and practical gain it was intended to produce to the people of Ire- land, but was rather brought forward as an illus- tration of the desirability oi Uouie Kule. (Cheers.) The Bill of the hon. member exceeded auy former oue that he had placed before the House. It contaiued no limit of time, or in the amount of the reduction, or in tlie class ot arrears to be dealt with. (dear, hear.) According to the hon. member, Uiey were to deal only with unjust arrears; but th*Bill would secure a reduction to the tenant on account ot loss by any form of acci- dent, the wbole burden of which would theu be thrown upon the landlord. A complete remedy fcr all the grievances that had been mentioned would be a Bill entitling the court to reduce airout by 14 or 15 per cent. The real difficulty in Ireland did not reet on the fact that a ccrtala portion of the rant demanded during the last two years had been excessive or unfair; but waa the wmplf)te iagolvoncy,ond embarrassment of a larg* proportion of the small tenants. (Hear. hear.) UtUeae they dealt with that ltate of things they would do no good whatever, and they could not t*mody it by simply mulcting the landlord. (CheeK) Tbe Bill would create throughout Ire. land a feeling of insecurity, and would be unjust to those tenants who bad struggled to pay their rents. (Cheers.) It would lead a lesson that could hardly iali to be proftUd by in the future, and would carry out in its entirety the Plan of Campaign, of which tills Bill was only a clause and a provision. (Loud cheere.) the alwpkoopor, who was now looked upon as a sort of beneficent agent, did not before 1870 interpose between the tenant and famine; but when We land legislation of that year pasasd it laduoad tlie tenant to go into debt, not only in times ol famine, but in times of prosperity. (Hear, hoar.) He did not admit that the debt to the shopkeeper was more just than the debt to Uw landlord, but, in the interest of all, it was desirable to roileve the tenant wholly and at once of his embwmamtoong in cases where he was wholly UMMO to ptT. (Cbsers.) An offer was made last year to secure them relief without bankruptcy. ("No, no," from Mr. DiUon.) lie stated what be know, and would take no contradiction from the member for East Mayo. (Cham.) Aa offer waa made at hit suggsauon that a tenant might, oa giving a Met of his liabilities, be discharged from tha whole of them. Mr. DILLON (and oUw Irish members): Baok. raptcy. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN ought to know something about bultrul*J-(Iaupter)-ud d*oland that It was not. Tha proposal was to relieve the debtor without the stigma or any of the disquali- floationa of bankruptcy.

(Laughter.) The first would have an easy pasaage through the House, while the Government might take their time over the other. (Laughter). Mr. BALFOUR said that when the Act of 1881 transferred to the tenants a portion of the land. lord's property, the landforr Wife mured that, though the amount of their pro- perty taight be diminished, the sscurity of what was left would be increased. The honour of Parliament was pledged to the taudlords of Inlands that the tenant right of the tenants who had judicial rants fixed aliould be a security for the rent. (Hear, hear.) This Bill would cast doubt on the honour of that House aDd on the pledges given by Parliament. (Hear, hsar.l Then the tenant* who had not had judicial rents fixed had had their arrears swept away in 1882. If they had not sloe* then goiteto the court to get judicial rents fixad, but had allowed arrears at old rents to accumulate, they had no cause for com- plaint. (flear, bear.) Was it supposed that this Bill would tattle the Irish land quMttoo P (11 No, no," from the Irish members.) It would not even settle the arrears question. If this Hill were passed it would only touch a omtt amount of the )?[r«M due, because no relief could be given except whon the teMCt c&utd prove that ht« inabilitv to n? did not arise from his own default. Certainly, no tenant who had joinedlhe Plan of Campaign could be relieved. (-< oh, oh," and cheers.) If that was the case what advantage would be gained by passing this Bill, which was based on the assump- tion tliat the existing arrears were due to the liarahnees of the landlords, whereas they were due to combinations on the part of the tenants 1* (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) He regretted that the member for South Tyrone had joined in the vague rhetorical attacks upon the landlord clats, who were not only the victims ot their own past follies and in some cases, possibly, ut their own past injustice, but were exceed to the onslaughts ot men who attacked merely because they thought it wus through them that the union between England and Ireland could be inoit eanily attacked. (" Oh, oh," and citeero.) They were asked to interfere with debts contracted under Parliamentaiy sanc- tion and security, and to leave untouched debts not contracted under tliat security, aud that at a time when the landlords were showing a disposition to deal with their lenuuts with the greatest gene- rosity. (Uear hellr.) r Mr. T. H&ALY (A., Mohaylum) maintained that a more equitable proposal than that contained in the Bill hud never been submitted to Parliament, iind intorprtted the Chief Secretary's opposition to it as implying that it was objectionable because it would not itliove dishonest as well as honest tenants. Sir WILLIAM HAKCOUHT said the line taken by the Uoveruuient must give the impression, both in Kogland and Ireland, that the Imperial Parliament were either unwilling or unable to settle tlit Irish land question. Last year the Government said that any defects in their previous legislation would lie cured by their great measure ot land purchase, but what had bscouie ot that measure!' (Laughter.) It was not a fair or a safe position tur a Uovtiimucnt to admit the existence of a grievance, as they would do by voting for this resolution, and yet take no steps to remedy it. Such a course was founded on injustice, aud must iuevltably end in disaster. (Chettrs.) The House then uivided on the question that the words proposed to be left out (i.e., that the Bill be now read a second time"), stand part of the question. There were- for the worde 243 Against 32S NlAjgrity 85 The words proposed to lot! left out were thus omitted, with tlie effect of negativing the second reading. The ilouse then divided on ble.

I The Consolidated Fund Bill (No. 1) passed through Committee. The 14ational lIebt (Conversion) Bill was then considered as amended, ard thu third reading was ordered for to-day (Thursday). The Houde adjourned at 25 iniuutes past six.

CARDIFF PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. PROPOSED FORMATION OF CARDIFF INTO A COUNTY. A meeting of the Cardiff Parliamentary Com- mittee was held on Wednesday, when there were present—Alderman C?rey (in the chair), Counc?or K UeavM, Councillor More), Mr. J. L. WixtUey (town-clerk), and Mr. Harpur (borough engiueer). IIILLII WJTBDI&AWN. ihe Iown-Clkkk reported that the Cardiff and MonaaouU?hireVt?yt Railw y Bi)t and the ?ute' 'i*H Amalgamation bill had been withdrawn. IWATM PIRK. The draft of the Provisional Order for borrowing money for the purposes of Uoath Park was sub- mitted to the committee with several alterations proposed by the town-clerk, of which the com- mittee approved. A resolution was also passed asking the Local Government Board to insert a clause giving power to the corporation to close the pleasure grounds for fourteen days in the year, to be taken separately ct otherwise in any one year, for the purposes of fOt ee, uhlbitiOllf, and charitable and other objects, as might from time to time be determined. raorosAL TO roan cAkDirr INTO A COUNTY. I Mr. Mokkl drew attention to the Local Govern- ment Bill, and said that every effort should be made to have Cardiff constituted a county under it. He dwelt upon the importance of Cardiff as a town and a port; it was also the Metropolis ol Wales and the principal town in the Principality, He thought no time should be lost in taking action. Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, Nottingham, Bull, Bred- ford, and Newcastle had been recognised for the purpose* of quarter sessions as counties. In his opinion, Cardiff should be placed in a like position. In reply, the Toww-Cutax slated that Sir E. J. Reed, 1I.p.. had sit eddy-some two or three weeks ago-had an interview with the President of the Local Government Board upon the subject, and put forward the claims of Cardiff very strongly. Cardiff was not, however, the only aspirant for the rank of county. There were other places where quarter sessions were held which had claims for consideration, but they had to draw a bard and fast li ne. The subject would be discussed slvortly at a meeting to be held in London, to which all town-clake would be invited. Perhaps the .natter had better stand over. In reply to a question from Mr. E. Beavan, The TowN-Cmax further stated that in the Bill it was proposed to merge the towu in the county. Mr. Bsavam also wauled to know whether the corporation would become merged in another board or in the county. The Towm-Clikx replied that Cardiff would still have a distinct existence, but many subjects on which they now had to go to Parliament would be dealt with by a Central CouncU. For Instance, such matters as borrowing money would be dealt with by timt council. Mr. idoa%Lla opinion was that there would be a strong objection to Cardiff being merged into the county. The Cvaiemam remarked that Cardiff, always increasing, never received its due. The town abould know that vigorous steps were being taken by their representatives, and they should pt all UJe assistance they oould from member of Parliament. Tbeir Parliamentary Committee should, to his thinking, take action. Mr. Boavam did not like the Idea of Cardiff play- IngMOond ftddll to any county. The Cxaibman thought the Chamber of Com- nisro* should take action. The town-clerk was instructed to again commu- nlcate with Sir B. J. itsed, M.P., upon the subject, with a view to taking further action in the matter If it was thought desirable.

THE NOMINATIONS. 1 At noon on Wednesday the two caDdldates wars formally nominated at the Quikl-ball, Swansaa, where a considerable number of their respective supportershad gathered.

MM. J. T. D. LLEWELYN S CANDIDATURE. MEETING AT YSTALYFEPA. IMPORTANT SPEECH BY Mn. LLEWELYN. I ENTHUSIASTIC PROCEEDINGS. A liieetiug of the supporters of Mr. J. T. D. Llewelyn was held at Zoar Chapel, Ystalyfera, Swanaea Valley, on Wednesday evening. There wss a largo attendance of the working men of the neighbourhood. Dr. Thomas, Ystalyfera, took the chair, and Mr. Llewelyn was accompanied on the platform by Messrs. Kewster Player, G, 11. Strick, R. Hodgson, Edward Roberts, T. W. Evans, D. Lewis, the Revs. J. Jones, D. Williams, &c. The Ciiaibman, in opening the meeting, thanked the trustees for the use of the chapel, and bespoke very fairplay for Mr. Llewelyn, who, he said, was no stronger in the division. Mr. Llewelyn was born there, and bore a name which was, per- liaps, better than any other in the county. His liberality to every good causa was well known. His address was such as to satisfy even advanced Liberals. The chief question before them was, doubtless, the Home Kule question. He contended that a viait to Ireland would prove to anyone that there were no advantages to .JtJ gained by separate Home Rule. The agitation and dissatisfaction was kept up chiefly in the districts where Industries did not flourish, and where the Roman Catholic people were not content to lubour us the Protes- tant people did in Belfast and oilier pit rts. Ittliey took into consideration the history of Ystalyfera for the past lew years, they would admit that the lawyers were at tue bottom of the distress. The llouso of Commons also suffered Irow ÙIII burden ot Jawycriain and thuugh be did not say a word ngainst Mr. ltandell, he was quite suie no more lawyors were required in the House. Mr. Llewelyn was a raun upon whom they could not possibly improve as a repre- sentative. (Cheers.) He then called upon the candidate, who was well received. Mr. Llkwklvn said he appeared before them at Ystalyfera that night for the first time in a busi. ness capacity. He had visited the place to take part in sports end pastimes in his youth, but since that time he had turned his uttsution to matters of greater public benefit in the county of Glamorgan. He came for the first time before them as a candidate for Piirliamentary honours, in common with another gentleman, against whom he was not going to say one word, except tiiis-that he did not belong to the county, and he was not connected with it except by such ties as he thought would be best served in another way. Mr. Kandell wished, as a lawyer, to go into Parliament all a labour representative when questions arose between capital and labour, and he dssired to act on behalt of the working men. Now, he always advised people to keep out of law it they could possibly do so, and he hoped labour and capital woulu never requite lawyers to settle their disputes. it was inliuuely better that such matters should be retei-red to arbitration. (Cheers.) Mr. Llewelyn proceeded to state tliat he was of opinion that wages should be preferred in cases of bankruptcy to lent and other claims. The great question which was agitating the land throughout its length and breadth was that of tiome Rule for Irelibud. At present ttict-o were two codes of law existing in tne couutry—oue was made by the Parliament ot this country and the other emanated from America. The latter consisted ofasysteinof terronsm which liad led to murder, which, aa Mr. Gladstone had aid, was not to be denounced. Ur, Llewelyn then alluded to the injustice which would be inflicted by Home Rule upon the Protestants, and said that in Ulster, where the largest industries ot the country were centred, they would, it Home Rule were instituted, have to have a seconu code of law. Mr. Balfour was very much abused, but ho was simply carrying out the directions of the Parliament elected by the people. The proposed Local Government Bill would, he was confident, uive eveiytliiuK which was reasonably riquiied in any local induitrial ceulre. Some peopw had callesi his address more Liberal than Conservative. Well, he was confident that every paragraph de- scribed only what the Conservative Govern- ment was prepared to bring before the House of Commons. His views were uot so far auvauced tliat the party viere not leady to follow him. There- tore they were justified in calling him a Liberal- Conservative, or a Conservative first, aa they liked. He could serve just as well under Lord Hartington as under Lord Salisbury. He thought the outcome of those b-oader viewe would be Ultit mote moderation and wisdom would k4 shown iu ths councils of the nation in future thau uudsr the old Conservatism, Referring to the questiou ol enfranchising leaseholds, he himself, be said, would rathor sign leases in perpetuity than tor 99 years, aa it would not injure him, aud would benefit the public. lie thought that question would be settled on terms of perfect tqulty. With regard to the tithe rent-charge, he was most anxious to see an alteration of the law, It ought to be paid, ss inieaded by law, directly by the landowner and not by the occupier. Mr. Llewelyn went on to speak of the present system of collecting the tithe rent-charge, which he described as disagreeable and vexatious. There were to his own knowledge very many ownere of tithe who would not collect it for that resion. He would be glad to see a measure passed lor the redelllpllonof tithe, but anything like the abolition of the charge altogether was out of the question, because it would be merely taking from one osan whst belonged to him and giving it to anotkier tliikt would be Insquitable and un- reasonable, The CouaerTttivd (iovernmeut. Mr, Llewelyn believed, would be able to do a good deal more in the future than they had accomplished in the past. He referred to tlie obstruction which the lrum members porsUtftd in Utt Mision, aud which to a very grsst extent prevented legislation. The new Rules ot Piocedure, which were more stringent than any which had been passed previously, would have the effect of facilitating legislation and pre- venting the wilful obstruction with which the people of this country were so familiar. Speaking of the Local Governinebt Bill, lie said that as one who had taken an active part in county government he would heartily welcome upon the new boards the lepresentatiyes of the ratepayers. (Applause,) Mr. Llewelyn stud he did not pretsnd to be what was called a working man. He had sufficient wealth and landsd property to maintain himself without working with his hands, but he despised those men similarly situated to himself who carrlsd their wealth to other countries. (Applause.) He IlItd taken his fair shire in the ordinary burdens which should be borne by property. The rear when he was High Sheriff it became his duty to join,id the dllliberatlonl of a body who were pre- paring to start a permanent fund for those poor colliers who might meet with accidents in mines. It was found that publio sympathy was directed, gener?ty epetkmg, to those extenOve tY. by which many persons were killed, wtterettthenumerou: smaller casualties escaped notice. This Miners' Provident Society, which was started tAn years ago, now numbered upwards of 2.000 men, maintained at the present moment Z60 widows and a large number of Children, who would undoubtedly, were it not for this society, be in receipt of parish relief. 'the welety had also "lieved upwards of 10,000 men who had been temporarily disabled. Last year they bad a remarkable expenence. They found that the risks of accidents were greater tbMt had been computed by that able authority, "? Neison. at their commencement, and bad had to levies the scale of payment accordingly. By that vasans the society had been placed on a perfectly sound and solvent btuis, and it might be taken as a model for any other lodety of the kind in the country. He considered that the queaUOD of the solvency ?cf °''o?c ?et? ie. o?f th. ia kind should receive careful and thoughtful attention from the Government of this country. In Conclusion, he remarked that he ESU'jJ'  elected, put forth his best e?ergi on district m. *orklng men of that important diatrict. A series of written questions were put into ths hands of Nr. Llewelyn. In reply to the question as to wliether lie would vote for klie disestablishment of the Church Mt. Llewalln repeated fils opinion in » fav!Lou.r of substantial reforms in the Church, but not of àiverûna money ifte by Individuals from the Church to other purposes. He did not go for Home Rule.

THE CANDIDATURE OF MR. I RANDELL. SERIOUS DIFFERENCES. I silt E. J. REED AND THE LABOUR I CANDIDATE. A WITHDRAWAL ADVISED. t On Wednesday a hastily-convened meeting of members of the Council and Executive of the Gower Radical Association—which was understood to have been dissolved last week—took place at the Albert-hall, Swansea, to take into considera- tion the divided condition of the party. Alder- man Freeman was voted to the chair. Sir Eo J. Keed, M.P., attended. It appeared that a private meeting had been held on the previous day at the Mackworth Arms Hotel wben steps were taken with the object of obtaining concerted action amongst the Liberal party. Sir E. J. Reed counselled the withdrawal of Mr. Randell and the convening of a meeting for the purpose of selecting a candidate, fo this Mr. Kandell and his followers refused to accede. It was then suggested that all parties should uuitt with the'coinmon object of returning Mr. Randell, and the officials of the association, agreeing to the suggestion, decided to convene the meeting of Wed. nesday. Sir E. J. Reed explained to the meeting the position of affairs, and begged the Dlllrlbere to exercise a wise forbearance under the circum- stances. Ultimately it was decided, by a majority, to support Mr. Randell, and Mme of Uis gentleman present came forward to nominate that gentleman. The meeting, however, was a small one, being far less representative than even tlie previous one, the decisions of which were repudiated by the rank and file of the party. A RADICAl. FIASCO. I 1 wo meetings in support of Mr. Randell's can- didature were announced to take place on Wednes- day evening, the one at Llonsaiclet, four miles from SwanBea, and the other at Birchgrove, two miles beyond. From some inexplicable cause, neither blr. Randell nor mov of his leading sup- porters put in an appearance, with tlw result that the few who had gathered together, alter visiting all the chapels in the district, returned to their homes cold and miserable, loudly complaining of tile treatment to which they had been subjected.

NOTES ON THE ELECTION. I [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] I UOT, HOTTBR HAPPY, MAPPlEIt. I The" happy family have met once again, this time actually without audible hissings or snortings -a phenomenon of some significance having regaid to the peculiar methods the members have of mantHating their "happy" conoord. Perliaps the liumbls propoitlons of the Ratherlnl-a res- pectable gig would have accommodated the decimated domestic circle—oppressed the family and benumbed their normally lively faculties Perhaps the very hopelessness of the situation, wil h its one stiwight road to humiliation, weighed down their spirits, and left them devoid of even enough animation to kick feebly and ineffectually against the inevitable. Whatever the cause, there, at all eveuu, was the effect cleat and untuistakublu. At tho eleventh hour the buckram knights of local Radicalism assembled dubious and dismul, Rt a Swansea hotel, and sat at the round table as grimly melancholic a "happy family" as may be seen outside Madame Tussaud's. They were few, and. so far as influence locally is concerned, intignificant. liut what boots that? The proclamation of peace issued was none the less graudiloquent—none the less decisive and definite. The tailors of Tooley-sirest could not have invested it with more emphasis or made it more sweepingly comprehensive. We cannot father the description of the results. All the credit of ita sweetly paradoxical beauty belongs to our Radical contemporary. Substantially re-projuced it is tblti-H,ippiness haa been restored to a happy family," peace has rttur,ud to the camp whence it never departed. Pretty, is it not, and so true! OATU&filNO IN TMK MUGMKNTS. That pleasant fiction of a re-united Radical party me), by try Ing lini d, be gulped down as a truth by that class of gullible gourmands who ever- lastingly stand on exhibition, with gaping mouths and tightly closed eves; but as for the bulk of the electors, who move about amid the babble of dis- cordant noises—bah Go wherever one may, and among whatever class, and the fact is thrust for- ward, plaiu and palpable, that the Separatist faction is liopeltial), riven and rent. Rumbles of discontent, growing daily more insistent and pro- nounced, rise from the valleys, where the colliers manifest decided disinclination to troop slavishly behind the car of the candidate foisted upon them. The ogiiculturists, no inconsiderable contin- gent, know nnt Randell. Few have even heard his name before. They naturally relish the superlative coolness with which they are directed to fall in and assure the triumph of the pre- sumptuous politician. So, too, the tradesmen scattered over the width and breadth of this un- wieldy division. Their intelligence predispose* them to accept uncomplainingly the flouts and jeers administered to the only organisation at which they had even the shadow of represen- tation. Spite of all manifestoes, aud protestations, aud assurances, tin' fact remains unquestionable, irrefutable, that the JDaveyites are still Daveyites that the Burnieites continue to exist, notwithstand- ing the politic attitude of their chief; and that, though the balm has been liberally applied to the smarting sores, they have never ceased to rankle. What has been done is simply the casting over the breaches of an obscuring veil." The wounds are not so gapingly visible, thanks to the film that covers them but the aches and spasms are none the less violent. Discontent has been driven underground, that Is all. "LABOUR CANWDATB OBATOHT. I The one thing that might tempt the working men to go outside their own ranks for a repre- sentative, we should fency, would be the absence of an orator among them, and the possession of exceptional oratorical gifts by someone outside identified with them more or less. This mlitht justify audi a departure from the very fundamen- tals of labour representation but bow does Mr. Randell stand in ttuit regard P His speech at Gowerton wss ver^T peculiar, both as regards matter and manner of delivery. It was a series of jerky, disconnected sentences, that ran smoothly only when they were merely recitations. There was a dreary iteration of I am's," and an all too-evident effort to stir up the enthusiasm that refused to be stirred. Once he became almost touching when expatiating upon the mean- ing of the hand each one bad held up for the vote of confidence, but a cruel voice changed the pathos into bsthos by pro- pounding the awkward conundrum, What about those with two bandl up ? The people laughed, and the dramatic merits of the situation vanished. The contrast between the reception given to him and that given to" Mabon "was painfully striking Not improbably the coldness beneath chilled the speaker and accounted for the baiting, disjointed discour". TUB BCIO<B IS OBAMOBO. I Glance we at the other side, and the champ Is as from darkness to light, from anarchy to order, from the senile feebleness of a dejected, dlsor- Sanised hords to the vigorous elasticity of a con. fident, hopeful host.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE ON A I I I I YOUNG WOMAN AT CARDIFF. I'UISONliU COMMITTED FOll TRIAL. I At Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday (before the Mayor, Alderman Jacobs; Alderman Lewis, and Mr. W. Zanders) a cabman named Morris O'Connell was charged on remand with violently assaulting and outraging Amy Vincent,at the top of Park. place, Cardiff, between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of the 9th lust.—Mr. David defended. The prosecutrix, who appeared in court with her forehead bound with a handker- chief, was accommodated with a seat at the solicitors' table. Her evidence, which was read over to her, was to the effect that she had engaged prisoner to drive her houie to Tteharrls-street. She gave him the route, but he did not drive 118 she wihed, but to the top of Park-place. She then accusud the prisoner of having entered the cab and assaulted her, and afterwards of dragging her out of tha cab, throw- ing,her down, and committing the graver offence.- Cross-examined by Mr. David: Siio was a married woman, and not a prostitute, but had been one. She had given up that life since the 9th of April last. She denied having been In a house of ill- fame on the night in questiou. Had spent the time from about a quarter to ten until eleven between the Royal Hotel vaults and the Queen's tup. Mr. Stiles, surgeon, proved examining the pro- secutrix, and found site had been seriously injured. Mr. David made an eloquent speech on behalf of the prisoner, In which lie trusted that tho bench would not convict prisoner, as complainant had led an imtiiorftl life until recently. Lie argued thnt;tlie justices could not convict, as there was no supple- iiieutury evidence. Mr. David also relei-redto the fact that a woman named Mrs. Bath was not called for the prosecution. Evidence to prove an alibi having been called, after some consideration, the bench decided that It was 10 case for a jury. Prisoner, who strongly denied that lie was guilty, was theu remanded to the next assizes, and was admitted to bail, himeell in £10 and two sureties In 920 each.

I SAD DEATH FROM BURNING NEAR CARMARTHEN. On Tuesday Mr. J. D. Kowlands (acting for Mr. J. liowlauds, coroner for East Carmarthenshire) held an inquest at the house of Daniel Thomas, Panybank, parish of Llsngendeirne, on the body of Mary Lewis, wife of Peter Lewis, Penybank, labourer. Deceased wus about 79 years of age. At about nine a.m. on the 17th lust, the husband iveut to a well, a quarter of a mile off, lor water, leaving deceased sitting on a stool by un ordinary clay-ball fire. Keturnlng in about fifteen minutes, lie saw deceased on a bed in the same room and her clothes nil in Hlines, she said, 14 Oti, Peter 1 am all ou lire." lie cut her clothes with a knife, and toi a tticiii off. bia,, was burnt in several parts of the body ami on the face. He put linseed oil on the burn?, called in tome neiglibouis, and sent for Dr. P. W. llughas, Carmarthen. Mr. Hughes attended her, but she died that evening about eight o'clock. She w.is quit? sensible up lo htr death. It appears stie was sweeping tlm floor with her back to ihe fire, und when she touiut her clothes un fire the i-olled herself on the beit.-Dr. tlughc* said death resulted from ahock and collapse, tbe effect of the burns.—The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

SHOPLIFTING EXTRAORDI- I NARY AT LLAiNELLY. AN LMPULliNT TilIKF. I At Llanelly Police-court on Wednead-iy (before Messrs. R Nevill, chiiirman, and Mowland Mac- Uran) Lelitia Davies, 27, Park-street, Swansea, was charged wiih thefts by Mrs. Nelson, LUnully Mr. Thomas tiriffiths, Llanelly; Mr, 'i'. lte,,s, l'vvll; Messrs. Lewis and Jones, Carmarthen mid Mr. W. Calliver, Llanelly. The case &Ltiaecd -ioitt attention, and was anxiously walelud by a lirge court. The evidence given showed that pi Itoner had been guilty of a large number ot impudent thefts, of which Llanelly tradespeople had bean the victims. The goods were brought to the hall in a large truck, and compriseU all manner of unmade dress materials. Theits of between one and two hundred yards of flannel alone weie proved, besides scurell of yards of brown Irish and other cloth and a suit of clothes. The evidence allowed that the thtfts had been going on for a couple of months, and were only brought to au end on Thursday last, when the prisoner was arrested. It appears that on that day prisoner was seen to take a piece of flannel from the elall of Mrs. Nelson in the Llanelly Market-place, and was taken into custody. This led to investigations, which culminated in the above extraordinary cliargss. The goods had bt-eu recovered from pawnbrokers, chiefly in Swansea, from which town about lialf-a-dozeu attended to give evidence, besides a couple of local pawnbrokers. To the greater number of charges prisoner pleaded guilty, explaining that she was drunk when she committed the Lliefts.- Prisoner was committed to the quarter sessions.

A FAMILY SQUABBLE AT I NEWPORT. SAVAGE ASSAULT WITH A CHOPPEH. At Newport Police-court on Wednesday Joseph Oatehouse, a cork-cutter, was charged on remand with assaulting and wounding his sister, Esther Pollard. and with wounding his brother-in-law, Edward Pollard, 10 Reform buildings, on Monday night, March 12 last. Police-Constable John Smith was called to the house of the prose- cutors in ilefonn Buildings, where they com- plained that prisoner had assaulted them with alarge chopper. He found the weapon in the possession of Gatehouse, who wato in a inoet excited condition.—In answer to the charge, prisoner said Pollard was thrashing him with a poker, and he had no alternative but to u" tiio cbopper.-Wtien prisoner's sister was called she rlluctantly took the oath, as she said she did not wish to press the charge, and prisoner had been a eood brother, and was practically the only support of hia widowed mother. She explained that a row took place on the Monday niglil in question between her liusbsnd and her brother, who live in the tame house, about the latter having taken some firewood without her husband's permission. From words they went to blows, and a fight ensued. Her brother took up the chopper to strike her husband on the head, but the rushed between them, put her arm up. and received a blow which nflicted a wound from the elbow down. He did not, the thought, intend to etrike her at all. The wound, which was dressed at the Infirmary, was now getting on nicely. — Edward Pollard, the other com- plainant, said when Gateliouse took up the chopper lit (witness) seized the poker to i defend himself, but the prisoner rushed at him with the weapon be had in his hand and inflicted a nisty cut aoioss the shoulder. Three. weeks Jpreviously lie threatened to chop his (witness's) head off with t he chopper, and two policemen had t hen to be called in to protect him.—Prisoner's mother (Eliza Gate- house) was called for the defence. She astonished the court by declaring that, although ehe was only 58 years of age, she had" nearly eight great-grandchildren," and that her mother, who waa 105 years of age, was still living in Marshes- road, a statement which was corroborated by Police-Sergeant Franklin. Her part in the affray was that she received a heavy blow in the mouth from her son-in-law (Edward Pollard; before the men began to light. The usault upon her incenssd her son, and he attacked Pollard in cousequence. She stated that at certain tinjos in the mooth he was not quite compel vientis.riis Bench, taking into consideration the fact that he had already been locked up for ten days, now sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE CARDIFF PHILHARMONIC THEATRE. APPLICATION FOR A DRAMATIC I LICBNGE. A NEW LEGAL POINT RAISED. I MU. JACKSON OBJECTS TO RIVALS ADJUDICATING. Before the transaction of the ordinary business at Cardiff Police court on Wednesday a special sessions of the justices was held for the purpose of considering an application made by Mr. George Harrington, acting manager of the Philharmonic Theatre of Varieties, for a dramatio licence. There were pre- sent at the opening of the courtThe Mayor (Alderman Jacobs), Aldermen Waring, Taylor, and Lewis, Dr. Edwards, Dr. Paine, Mr. Griffith Phillips, Mr. W. Sanders, Mr. A. Hood, Mr. Gaurge Bird, and Mr. Lewis Williams. Mr. C. J. Jackson, instructed by Mr. Harry Cousins, supported the application; Mr. Arthur Lewis appeared to oppose tor the Cardiff Theatre Royal Company, and Mr. Louis Reece opposed on behalf of Mr. Edward Fletcher, lessee of the Cardiff Theatre Royal. Mr. Jackson, at the outset, said he did not know how it was the Cardiff Theatre Company bad got to know anything about the application. He could not see how such a thing could be known publicly, and ha objected to the locui standi of both Mr. Arthur Lewis and Mr. L. Reece. He should, therefore, ask that a note be taken of his objctiou, also that there were magistrates tutting who were interested in the Car- diff Theatre Company. He would be very sorry to introduce any ill-feeling into the matter, but, seeing they were interested in a rival place of entertainment, he must ask that a note be taken of his objection. Upon this Alderman Waring and Mr. Archibald Hood withdrew. Mr. Jackson then, reset ving his speech, pro- ceeded to call Mr. John Edwin Gunn, secretary to the Phil- harmonic Company, who proved that Mr. Har- rington was actual anti responsible manager, his appointment dati IIg from the 13Lik 01 FeUruary last. Mr. George Harrington deposed similarly. He had formerly been manager of the Philharmonic, and since had been in London, Southampton, and other places in like capacities. He was prepared with full security, as required by law, and, in his opinion, the hall was In every way fitted for what was required. Tho exits were very good indeed. Mr. Harry Cousins, solicitor to the company, having proved the service ot proper notices, Mr. James Edwin Jackson, ot 33, Park-place, Cardiff, one of the lessors and part owner of the Philharmonic Theatre, said in 1877, when the old theatre in Crockherbtown was burned down, a dramatic licence was granted to the Philharmonic. In 1878 the Theatre Royal was completed, and the two places with dramatic liceuceii were conducted side by side. On the 15ili of September,1879,tho mugisi rates refused to renew tije liceuce for the Philharmonic. Since then they had had a music licence. The appliciltiou fur the renewal of the licence had been supported by a memorial signed by 4,000 people. He knew Mr. Harrington, and was prepared to be one of his securities. Mr. Choltou James, a member of the firin of James and Morgan, architects and surveyors, Cardiff, gave eviutmce as to the structure and the exits. The sum of tZ,000 had recently been spent in alterations, and with a full house the place could lie cleared in two minutes. There was also a wide panic door, kept in its place by balance weights, for use in cases of emergency. The hall would accommodate about 1,200 people. Mr. Charles Rodney, late manager at the Phil- harmonic, had many times timed the clearance of the Philharmonic. The time averaged from a minute to two minutes, the latter being the longest lime he had ever known it take. Mr. Lascelles Carr, chairman of the Cardiff Philharmonic Company (Limited), was also willing to be one of Mr. Harrington's securities. He knew the lane at the back of the hall, which had been said to be narrow and much frequented at night. It was about twenty foet full room for two lorries to pass, and in addition a footpath. He had no hesitation in saying there was plenty of room. one of the trams passing into the depot came within a con- siderable distance. The litne waa very little frequented at night. After a long experience of theatres in London and all parts, lie considered the Philharmonic handsomely appointed and ex- ceptionally good in the matter of exits. One peculiarly good feature was that the exits were at different part?, sj as to prevent a crush at any one poiut. By Mr. A.

This concluded tlie case tor tho applicant- Mr. A Lewis then objected that no certificate of the iiicorporaticn of tho coropsuy tied been put in. bir. Hurriugioii had beeu proved to bo the re- sponsible manager, but ns far as the court knew the Philharmonic company had no existence it could only be proved by the certificate. The objection having been over-ruled, Mr. C. J. Jackson, for the opidicant, referred to the historical aspect of the case, from tlie burning of the Old Theatre in Crockherbtown, when the Philliarmonic enjoyed a dramatic licence, to its refusal in 1879,anci to the present time. When tbe Philharmonic and the Theatre Royal existed side by side no liarui was found to result from the fact itliat the two were carried on so near. At that time the population ot Cardiff wasbui75,000; now it was 120,000. He had shown the building had been licensed for the performance of stage plays when it was notliiog like so commodious a place, as far as public convenience was concerned, as it was now. The owners of the ball had a very great grievance in that a licence had been refused. Now, however, the hall was admirably adapted for dramatic purposes. During the last few years several halls licensed for music and dancing bad sprung up, but there was a monopoly in plaoes where stage plays could be given. He submitted, on the merits of the case, the applicant was fairly entitled to a licence. But he did not place it entirely upon that ground. He submitted that the justices had no option whatever. Tkie requisites of the 8tatulehaving beeucomvlied with, the functions of the venell were simply minis- terial, or he might say perfunctory. The require- menta of the 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 69, which governed the performance of stage plays, had been complied with, and the justices had no option but to grant the licence.An antecedent Act, 25 George 11. cap. 26, upon which Borough Acts were in the main based, gave the magistrates discretionary power. But that Act had been repealed, and no mention of dis- cretionary power was made iu that which succeeded. That, he contended, showed that discretionary power had been taken from the justices, and in support of his contention quoted Lord Chancellor Salborne's judgment In the House of Lords in the case of Clarke v. liradlaugh, who had laid down the rule that where the provisions and terms of a clause of a former Act bad been ignored, it had been deliberately departed from. The justices then, continued Mr. Jackson, would thus be taking upon themselves the duties of the Legislature if they refused the licence. As a matter of fact, they had option in the case of music-halls, and the practice had been to grant licences freely but where they had no option they had restricted dramatic licences to one and set up a monopoly. But when the Phil- harmonic's application waa refused eight or nice years sgq.it was made on behalf of obscure no- bodies, while the Theatre Royal was started by gentlemen whose influence was powerful and wide-spreading. For no other reason, as be could see, had the Philharmonic's licence been refused in years gone by, while one was given to the monopolists who now enjoyed It. On the ground of justice, common sense, public good, and law, the licence should be granted. Mr. Arthur Lewis, in repil, complimented Mr. Jackson on his ingenuity in raising a legal point of which no one else had thought duriog the 40 years which had elapsed since the pasting of the Act, and, with all respect, he must compliment him upon his audacity as well. He then went on to argue that the construction placed upon the wording of the Act was not the correct one; that, had the justices no option, It would have not been expressly stipulated that not less then four justices should be present. If his learned friend's contention were correct, any one with a room, which might be a death-trap, could demand a licence. With regard to the merits of tin case, » bcoodu licence UliU ueen recused in Cardiff alreadv; such a licence had led to neither house paying In towns'of the size of Cardiff, such as Swansea, Newpot4 and even Bristol. Besides, in this case the theatres would be side by side. He then went on to speak of vested interests; tbe gentlemen for whom he appeared bad spent a con. siderable sum of money in building the theatre, and they were entitled to coaideratron at the hands of tbe justices. Mr. Louis Reece, on behalf of Mr. E. Fletcher, the lessee of the Theatre Royal, followed a similar lias of argument, saying it this application were granted the justices would be flooded with others. What would follow'( Under S and 8 William IV. holders of these licences could go to the excise authorities and get licences to sell drink without coming before the justices. He then went on to urge tonat the Theatre Royal afforded plenty of accommodation. The magistrates then retired to consider their decision. In twenty minutes they returned, and the mayor said, after careful consideration, they had decided to refuse the application. Mr. Jackson Am I to understand that the magistrates I see sitting are those who have so decided. I want to know for the purpose uf a mandarius. The Mayor: Sotue are gone, but it is the deci- sion of the whole. The hearing of the application lasted nearly three hours.

THE WELSH UNIVERSITY AND THK TEACHING OP WELSH. TO THB BDITOB OF THH WK6TKHN MAIL." M*,— I lie friends of Welsh education uiust feel after the London Conference that they are per- ceptibly a step nearer the attainment of their ideal and of seeing the top stone laid to the educa- tional fabric they are endeavouring to raar. As Principal Keicbel judiciously pointed out, students will have the option of choosing either a course of preparation for the examinations of thu new Uni- versity or that of London. The writer of your "Spirit of the Welsh PrOM" attempted some few weeks ago to throw disparagement upon the teach- ing of Welsh at Cardiff College, on the ground of the small Dumber of students who attend the pro- fessorial class. Did he really consider wt-at a purely artificial test that is, and how far beside the murk to decide the desirability of teachiog tho language, or even the amount of interest taken in it P Sup- posing the University of London were of » sudden to drop English Language and Literature from their lists of subjects preparatory to the Arts degree, I would ask him how many young mon in English Collegos would attend professors' lectured on those subjects, when tliey felt that they had only jut time and energy to work up the require- ments of the syllabus, und that, however much a mental exercise in the history and composition of the English language would improve their educa- lion, tliey would be forced to forego it, in order to fulfil the wishes of fond relatives and gain the diploma which may decide in largo measure the eoure of their future life. The Senato of London University would, I have been assured on good authority, have included Welsh in its list ot optional subjects last year for matriculation had oarlier application been made; and I do not consider that any great hardship would be involved to the English-speaking Welsh were the attainment of a moderate knowledge of the language made II sine qua non to matriculation at the future University, when, as above noted, students will have a choice elsewhere. In my own experience I had to foiegoall Welsh study forsome months until after the conclusion of the examination for which I was preparing, when a period of leisure arrived. Tint there is abundant interest in the language it proved on many sides, and by the sale almost ,8 soon as published of 5,000 copies of the second edition of tlio text-book of the Utilisation Society. It is simply waiting wind and tide to prove its presence more pronouncedly in the hichor seats of know- ledge.—I um, &c., Newport. VINDfcX.

VOLUNTEER DISCIPLINE AT MKKTHYR, TO TUK KDITOB or THE WKSTEKN MAIL." Sia,-On Saturday, the 3rd inel, a report ap- peared in your columns of tho proceedings at the annual mess of the non-coinmissioned officers of the Marthyr and Merlhyr Vale Dotuchmeuts of the 3rd Volunteer Battalion of the Welsh Regiment. This report appears to have acted like the prover- bial red rag to a bull on those in authority, for on the following Wednesday Quartermaster-Sergeant Howfield (the chairman of the mess) received a long official letter from the adjutunt (Major Tbur- low), containinga severe lepriinaud for allowing the non-cotumissioned officers to discuss matters appertaining to the promotion of officers at the mess, and threatening him with dismissal on a repe- tition of such conduct. All the speakers whose names appeared in your report were also called before their respective commaodiug officers, and received a grave wigging, whilst Major Bell, ot Merthyr Vale (by whoso authority we know not), called all the non commissioned officers of his detachment before him who had attended the mess, and who, with the exception of one, had taken no part in this now cuiobratcd discussion, but who, nevertlteleqs, had to bear their verbal castigation in silence. The adjutant, in his letter, drew the attention of all the non-commissioned officers to Paragraph 486 Of tbo Volunteer Regulations, 1887. This regulation states that Meetings will not be hold in corps for the purpose of expressing an opinion upon the acts of a commanding officer," fce. We admit it, but we con- tend that this does not bear upon the question at is-ue. There was no meeting of the corps. It was simply our annual mess, which has hitherto been held with the direct sanction and encouragement of Lieutenant-Colonel 1). R. Lewis, on officer we are always only too happy to obey and serve under. The question of the dearth of officers in the battalion was not upon the pro- gramme at all, as the enclosed copy will prove. It incidentally cropped up during the speech in res- ponse to the toast of the "Officers of Detachmeatt." Afterwards several sergeants spoke about the notorious lack of officers in the battalion, some of our companies being nlmost officerJess, whilst hardly any have the full complement. This is entirely owing to the absurd regulation which has lately been introduced into the battalion, prohibit- ing any but members of the professional classes becoming officers. In tlie regular army a man can riso from the ranks, if he is considered deserving, let his occu- pation have been whit it may previously; but in our citizen army you muet not aspire to be an officer unless, forsooth, you are a lawyer, a doctor, or an office clerk! We non-commissioned officers believe that only gentlemen of education and ability should be appointed to hold commissions, but we also believe that gentlemen from the trading and commercial classes can be found who would fill that position with dignity and credit, which is more than can be tiaid ot some oi: our present officers. We also contend that this ridiculous limitation is at variance with the spirit oE the War Office regulations, which authorise promotion from the ranks. Our discussing this question after dinner was the H head And front of our offending." for which we are severely taken to tabk, and have tho formidable Paragraph 486 thrown at us. If we unwittingly have, as Major Thurlow asserts, committed a breach of discipline, lie ought first, in all fairness and decency, to have made inquiries into the truth of your repoit (which 1 at once IIdmit is substantially correct), and then to have pointed out to us our mistake, for we all wish to obey and abide by the regula- tions. liut, instead of that, he immediately hastens to pen that epistle, which has excited the ire of all who have read it. Before concluding, I am desired to draw Major Thurlow's attention to another paragraph, or rather paragraphs, namely, Nos. 704 (<) and 740, which state that a printed statement of accounts, with all particulars of receipte aud expenditure, must be published annually, and posteid in such "public place or places where it will be open to the inspection of every member of the corps." We have never Men an annual balance-sheet of the battalion in Merthyr yet, but we intend to this year, or else we will 11 know the reason why." If we committed an unwitting breach of discipline at our tnesa (which we deny), we maintain that the witbholdingof the financial accounts is a distinctly illegal act. and, therefore, a far graves breach of discipline than r>urs. Vonr correspondent was correct in stating that a prominent sergeant in Merthyr had sent in his resignation in coose- queoce of the reprimand he rsoeived, but I earnestly hope he will yet be induced to re-con- sider his decision, as his loss would not only be severely felt by his company, but also by the whole delachmont. Before drawing' thia long letter to a close, let me say that Major Thurlow ought to have treated with kindness aad courtesy a body of men who have such liD arduous and thankless duty to perform. I be- lieve he can well recollect what tiBsistance he received from them during his first camp with the battalion at Lavernock, when tlio "profes- sional officers were conspicuous by their absence or Incapacity. I trust this letter will make all the non-commissioned oiiicers of the battalion take the matter up, and if we are prohibited from meeting, I believe the friendly columns of your paper will be open to us to expose the abuses and restrictions under which we now labour. We have held the proud position of being the strongest and most efficient battalion in the volunteer- force; and that, in spite of all drawbacks, we may still retain the same honours is the earnest with of a MERTHYR SERUEANT.

STRETCHER EXERCISE. TO TB8 corroa Of THB WKSTKBN Mill," Sir.—'Ihis afternoon 1 happened to be at the Infirmary when a woman who had met with an accident in one of the arcades was brought in. She was carried in on a stretcher by two police- men and the insprctor of one of tho arcades. I asked the police-constables to perform that part of the stretcher exercise by which patients may be easily Sifted and carried without pain or injury. To my Kreat surprise, they were quite innocent of any knowledge of stretcher drill; in fact, they did not know there was such a thing In existence. It is not necessary for me to emphasise the impor- tance cf a knowledge of this kind on the part of policemen, who are so frequently callod upon to convey injured persons andothers to thelntirniary. I trust this reference to the lamentable ignorance en tlie part 01 some of their public servants will stimulate the corporation to reatedy to important a defect.-I am. Iw., P. RBYS GRIFFITHS.
