We had read of the Atlantic, but never fully realised what it meant until we were crossing it. In the senne sense we never realised the glories of America until now.

The eisteddfod will be presided over by the lion. David Richards, president of the Knoxville ironworks; ex-l'ostmaster-General Thomas L. James; Professor William ap hdoc, of Chicago; the lIon. H.

(in September '-?7 John Harrington, of Ashlev, Penna., came home from his work, I and discovered his wife in the embrace of a young Welshman, named Evan Davies. He mad" a rush for her, but she succeeded in getting out of his way to a neighbour's house. The woman, however, returned, with a shot- gun, and made an aim at her husband, who was engaged washing himself in a tub, he only having just returned from the mines. 1.uc1,il:, the hot was wide of its mark, only two shots striking the man. The wife was arrested and committed to gaol, and was there lI'o da s, when her husband relented and withdrew the charge of attempted murder; ¡he wa. thus released, and once more returned to her home. Evan Davies, the boarder, in the meanwhile having made himself scarce in the neighbourhood. All seemed to go well for a week. Your correspondent met Mrs. Harrington in an adjoining town a few days later. Sh", in a joyful tone of voice, regaled liitn with the intelligence that she loved Davies, and that they were about to go home to Wales, away from Har- rington and the people of Ashley. Davies did not appear to be over 25 years old, while the woman seemed to be ten years old, She informedyour correspondent that, though sfc- had lived with Harrington for four- teen years, yet she was not his wife, as the marriage ceremony had never been per- formed between them. She further stated that her alleged husband had maltreated her on Saturday night, after she had been libe- rated from gaol, and that she would not live wi;l< him again. They were going to cr""ton, frol11 which point they would take the Delaware, Lackawanna, aud Western tram for .New York, and from there talie voyage for the Rhondda Valley, Wales. They are both Lat ives of Wales, but have spent several years in the nited tates.

THE. AMERICAN TARIFF AND 'THE…
THE. AMERICAN TARIFF AND THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. I A MANUFACTURERS PROPOSAL. I Mr. J. liushton Turnoclc, of the Yspitty Iron and Tin-plate Works, Loughor, sends us the following letter on the Bubjeot of the American tariff in relation to the tin-plate trade, viz. TO THE ljDITOn OF THE "WESTERN MAIL. "I SIR,—Canada, Germany, Trance, Italy, Austria, Spain, and other countries are very justly irritated and angry with the new Ameri- can tariff, and all are, apparently, considering the advisability of taking revenge by imposing taxes upon Ainorican produce. To my mind, however, that principle is altogether wrong, rake, for instance, the Austrian mothor-o'- pearl business, which appears to be entirely ruined by the new tariff. Instead of outting their own throats more deeply by making Amerioan produce dearer to buy, why does not the Austrian Government give a bounty to the button makers which will enable them still to send their buttons to America and prevent the unnatural manufac- ture there ? Putting the screw on to Ameri- can produce sufficiently hard for them to feel it may mean a self-tax of one or two hundred thousand a year, while probably a bounty of ten thousand might do all the button-makers want, and in a much better way, as it would probably kill the Proteotion-nursed American trade, and mother-o'-pearl buttons would shortly go duty free. What has mother-o'-pearl to do with tin- plates ? Much every way, as illustrating what may be the fate of the tin-plate trade dl a few years unless a strong effort is made to kiil the effect of the vicious 2'20. per lb. What happened in Vienna to the business immediately on the imposition of the tariff? Why, the whole trade was paralysed, and to such a serious extent that the Austrian ladies have come partly to the rescue by resolving to wear as many niother-o'-pcarls buttons and ornaments as they cn carry; but, law! who would like to trust to fashion. Nevertheless, let the mother-o'-pearl workers be thankful for small mercies. But, sir, supposing that on the 1st of Ootober there had been tin-plate works in America capable of supplying that market, only waiting for the raising of the duty, as in the button trade. What would have happened in South Wales before this time? Why, one-half of the trade of South Waies would have been in utter ruin, and the cry of the button makers would have been as silence compared with the wails of the tin- plate makers. lob I" some will say, "what's the use talking like that; the works were not there." jNo, I answer, but they will shortly be there, unless something is doiie therefore, our one object should lie to prevent the building of the works in America, and the most direct, most just, and by far the cheapest way for each country that is attacked is to enable their trades, by means of a bonus on all the special goods sent into the States, still to send them in at a price with which America cannot compete. Personally I am fully convinced that the Americans will not stand theunnecessai'ilv high prices for long. Yet there is every possibility that the evil may last long enough to encou- rag-e the building of works there, replete, probably, wit,h every modern improvement, and after a few years' working all again closed, so far as legitimate business is con- cerned, by the inevitable reduction of the tariff. But these works would always be a thorn and a nuisance to the trade, as means would be found from time to time to raise money to ve-open them. HOW THE THING MIGIIT BE DOVE. Here is my idea of one way of doing it. An enterprising promoter strikes an idea. A meriea saved; Wales nowhere. The States to bt3ttie sole suppliers of tin-plates to the whole world:—Gentlemen, he says, "I have the honour of submitting to your notice my new patented inventions, by the means of which all the tedious, laborious, expensive, dirty, and nasty processes of former times will be completely done away with. By the discovery of two unique sources of supply, I am able, in the first place, to make a new kind of steel, whioh in every point is infinitely superior to anything yet produced, so soft that it can be shaved off with a properly lubricated knife and yet capable ot being hardened if neces- sary. This great discovery, together with the further discovery of a spring of oil for the lubricant, enables me to entirely revolutionise the process of manufacture, as will be plainly seen from the following description of the process:—Instead of the expensive and tedious hammering and rolling of the steel ingot, cutting up the bars, and the heathenish re- rolling, doubling, shearing, &0" &o., my process is extremely simple. I cast the ingots of fifty tons or upwards approximately to the size of the plate required. If for 20 by 14 plates, then tbd ingot would be about DOft. long by 20m. high and Hin. wide. This ingot, composed of my marvellous soft steel, is then taken to the patent shaving machine, and trued up exactly to 20 by 14 size. It is then taken to the treble patent slicing machine (which may be compared to a large cucumber slicer), and fed slowly forward. The slicing knife, properly lubricated, now begins to slice off the end of the ingot in shavings precisely the thickness required, and these slices or sheets are by this very simple operation ready for their coating of tin. The advantages of my pro- cess must be obvious the sheets are all exact to size and thiokness, not the out of square and various thicknesses, uneven edges, and Haws of every description as you get supplied from Wales, but perfect in every detail. See the simple working of the machine, It requires only 112 slices to make a box of plates, and by the time the ingot is used up we have some thousand boxes of per- fect I whil,e plates,' not the old I black- plate.' No wasters, no flaw, no irregularity. And a further advantage in this process is that the peculiar oil used for lubricating the slicing knife aotB as a perfect flux for the tin, therefore, all we now have to do is to dip the sheets into the molten tin, and squeeze off between rollers all the tin we do not want, and the plate is finished ready for putting into boxes-no brannintr, dusting,or assorting being necessary. In this simple way, gentle- men, you see we have the world before us, as nowhere else are the minerals and oil necessary for the process to be found than in the States. I propose. therefore, to buy up all the American tin-plate works at once, as they are to be had for a mere song, create a ooiii- pany of 100,000,000dols. fully paid up, and then, if any little hitch (which, of course, I do not anticipate) should take place to prevent the carrying out of my patented processes, well, never mind, we have got no interest to pay for the works, which cost us practically nothing, and we can go on making tin-plates in the old way for a long time to come before all our capital is gone.—"iour obedient servant, 1). E. KPUN.—P.S.—My process is all fair and above board, not secret like the electric sugar and other bogus proposals, henoe its genuineness." Such is one way in which poor little Wales may be harassed once the works are built over yonder. It behoves us, therefore, to run a needle into the egg before it is hatched by getting our Government to enable us to supply the plates to the States under the mice which tbev can be made out there.—1 am, Sic., J.

SEAMEN V. BOARDINGI MASTERS'…
SEAMEN V. BOARDING I MASTERS' UNION. SCENES AT NEWTOKT. At Newport Police-court 00 Monday (before the mayor, Mr. T. P. Wansbrough, and Mr. W.Grtiha -• > Frank Gillraan, secretary to the Newport Branch of the "amen and Firemen's Union, and secretary to Hie Newport Trades' Council, and John Sullivan, B!milor. were 8ummoned for assaultin Chrislopher gi,?l Mr. H-- dcot-k f;):nia:l:i.) apIr; -p- port of the sum.ons; Mr, Digby Powoll for the der.nce. Mr. Handcock, in opening the case, said the pro- ccedings in issue were one of those unfortunate cases which were a disgrace to any port. On October 14 the steamship Miin»ani was lying *t the patent fuel wharf in the river, and previously to that some sailors who were lodging at the boarding-house of Simmonds had signed article* to proceed in the ship. On the evening in question Simmonds and other boarding-masters were taking their men down to the ship, when they were set upon by a set of scoundrels, headed by Gillman, who was the ringleader of the whole crowd, IInd who also set upon the men who had signed articles to go in the ship. Simmonds was knocked down on the ground and kicked and knocked nbotu. It 1111 took place at the ineilign- tion of Giliman, who was the local secretary to a union of sailors, and the men who were going in the ship were members of a new union recently registered under the Friendly Societies Act, called the AmaJanmated Seamen and Trade?niPn'a Union. The fact was that. Giliman and ihe others with him were very much rxaaperated by the men belonging to the other union going on board the ship. He shonld ask the bench to inflict upon the defendants such a line ns would prevent them from assaulting Simmonds again. Mr. Simmonds, the complainant, was first called, IInd said when he went to the wharf with his cart he heard Mr. Giliman, who was there with acrowd of 500 or 600 men, say to them," Kick hi. head off and chuck it in the river." He managed to get his men down to the ship, but when ho was returning SullivAn knocked him down. He got up, and then Giliman struck him in the face with hi. fist. rolice-constable Reynolds stated that he was on duty at the wharf with Pnlice-con«tabJe Coles when Mr. Simmonds and Mr. Warnken came up with their men. The crowd began to growl and hoot nt. the boarding-masters. The police had been asked by the officers of the ship not to allow any- ,? who had no husineB there to get down to hpr. They, therefore, kept all tho people back. Some ,) i the boarding-masters went down because they had business there. Mr. Giliman thereupon pro- tested againnfc the police allowing the boarding- masters to go down to the ship and keening his men b*ck. lie saw Sullivan strike Mr. Simmonds three times. Witness then weill, to his assistance. He rescued him from the crowd and pushed him through sOll1e gates. Mr. Handcock: Can you say whether Mr. Giliman Wa. the leader of the crowd P Police-constable Reynolds: Yes, I should say he was the cause of the disturbance in the first place. Continuing his evidence, the constable said several seamen and two other boardiug-masters beside Simmonds were assaulted. The Mayor said he understood that a complaint o'" (I brought before the watch committee .?, to the action of the police by the Seamen's Union, and ho wanted to follow the case care fully for that purpose. Mr. Handcock said he believed Police-constable Reynolds and the oihrr constables present acted admirably, and his client was very much obliged to Reynolds for rescuing him. Police-constable Coles was called and said that he s, w that Mr. Gi 11111,11} was the leader of tho crowd on the occasion iu question, though lie did not see him strike anyone. The Clerk: But if Ir. Giliman led people on who assaulted the complainant, he is just as liable ae the persons who actually struck blows. Inspector Winmill also gave evidence. Mr. Henry Warnken, bo>»rding-master, and f.itKer-ju-IawtoS mm^nds, said he saw Mr. GiiJm&n strike the complainant suveral limes about the body. Mr. Diyby Powell contended that no case haa been made out for him to answer so far as Mr. Gillmln was concerned. The Hench thought there was a case to answer in respect of both the defendants. Mr. Digby Powell then said Mr. Giliman denied absolutely that he struck the complainant. He was secretary to the Seamen and Firemen s Union ?? :'i s,cretary to the Trades' Council, an appointed member c?f the council at the chamber of commerce, and had been f)r fift"en years secretary to the Engineers Society. That was the sort of mnn whom Mr. UanSeock haù described us leading on a set of scoundrels. Nlr. Gillman, instead of breaking the peace, prevented fighting in the neighbourhood of the wlnrf. Simmonds appeared there with a heavy stick and threatened to strike anyone who came near him. llc struck the defendant Sullivan, who in self- defenCH ptruck him one blow back. t'or the defence John Coanning, iron ore worker'; James Robaooo, rigger and David Davies, secre- tary to the Kngineera' Union, were called, and all swore that Mr. Gillman did not strike anyone. In the result the Mayor complimented "olice. constable Reynolds on his behaviour, and said, although it was not clear that Mr. Giliman actually struck anyone, it was clear that, as secre- tary to the Union, the men thew were led by him. The maeistrates were advised on the law that he was, therefore, entirely responsible for the assault, and it. was not proved that Mr. Giliman tried to avoid nnv assault nor tried to quell the disorder. They considered it was a disgraceful scene for Newport that 500 mell should assemble to prevent 1\ ship loading and goning her crew. The boarding-masters were doing their lawful (llIty in seein the men i,.IO the vessel. They decided to title Gillman £3 and Sullivan £2. The Mayor added that it was to be hoped no such dis- turbance would occur again. ANOTHER ASSAULT. Henry Brennan, a sailor, was next procseded I against for assaulting Ephernio Costro, a Greek boarding-house keeper, ot Lewis-street, on the same occasion. The Head-constable said the row was a terrible one, and unless severe penalties were inflicted a repetililln could not be preventffd. Tho Bench imposed a tine of £ 3. NI v. Powell a,-ked the mayor whether the bench found that Mr. Gillman hit Simmonds under the chin, or whether they came to their decision be- c?i ig? he was the leader of the men. The Mayor said they cOIIsidered he was guilty in b,)t respects, Mr. 1. eli intimated that there would be an appeal. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr. Kessick) said there was no appeal.

CARDIFF AMUSEMKNiS.
CARDIFF AMUSEMKNiS. "FAUST UP TO DATE" AT THE I THEATKE HOY AL. Mr. Fletcher has gone in pretty extensively for burlesque of late. Little Jack Sheppard favoured us with a visit a couple of months or so ago; then I- VonuB" returned, wbilst thh week we have "Faust up to Date," that extravagant composition which had so enormously successful a run at the very home of burle,que-the London Gaiety. But., judging by Monday's audience, C"rdiffianB have not yet had a surfeit of burlesque. They attended in strong force, and they made the roof ring again with their boisterous merriment. And who could help it ? for a more mirth. provoking piece has not been presented at the Royal for many a long day. From rise to fall of curtain the piece is a prolonged laugh; the situations are ridiculously absurd, the puns and jokes are of the 1110st atrocious type, and the antics of the principals are excruciatingly funny. Anvthing more comical, for instance, titan Valen- tine's t'icli burlesque of a modern-day ballad singer, Mephistopheles as a pwripatftic shoNn¡, or th- dialogue and scene belw.en Mephisttpheles and the Lord Cltancellorl could scarcely be imagined. All round the company is unmistakably strong, and there is not a wellk spot in the cast. At the head stmds Mr. Edmund Payue, who in Mrphislepheki has a character that fits him like a IIlov., and in which he fairly revels. Mr. Payne is a worthy Hecond to that, prince of burli-fiqut! actors, Fred Leslie, and what or.ore need be said ? He and Mr. Louis Ktilleher (iralewine) are decidedly the life. 11",1 soul of lie piece, TIl. latter acts with the vivacity and the rich humour and grotesqueness which were so narked characteristics of tlie lamented George Stone, the original Valentine. Of the ladies the lead is taken by Miss Flo Biltou (Faust) and Mi-. Amy Augarde (Marguerite), both of whom daiiee, and toing well, and Miss Alice Harnett, who, as the widowed Martha, sings one or two excellent contmlto songs. It only remains to be said that the music is pretty, the chorus quit* up to the average of provincial touring com- panies, the dancing good,and the dresses charming. The scene (If the Paris Exhibition gardens, specially painted by Mr. W. B. Price, the resident artist, is worthy of high commendation.

MESSRS. GOTTWALTZ AND BUW-I…
MESSRS. GOTTWALTZ AND BUW-I RING'S HORSE SALE. The Horse Exchange, Cardift, is pretty sure to be crowded on Friday next, on the occasion of the annual October sale, when some hundred high- class animals i11 bo (lispo. of by Messrs. w be d Gottwaltz and llowring, including twenty-five excellent hunters, the properly of the auctioneers. These (says the County Gentleman) have been selected with great Cllre by Messrs. Gottwaltz and Bowring (whose judgment needs little recommen- dation at our hands), and not a few of tliem are prizelakers. Only one OUt of the whole twenty- five is over six years old, and she had the distinc- tion of carrying a master of hounds all last, season. Wiseman, a brown gelding, up to 15st., is a sulendid type of a hunter and a grand per- former. He took first prize this Season in n numerous entry, and is a pleasant mount. Sounder, a grey gelding, beat-sa first-rate reputa- tion with the Duke nf Beaufort's and Lord Fitz- hardinge's Hounds, and, being well formed, it is not surprising that he, too, hould have won P" These horses, it may be added, have been t,"Id in harness, and went quietly. Fairplay, a handsome chcstnut mare that was hunted last year in Devon. shire, has the best of manners and is a smart performer. This mare can carry 14st. in the fir.t flight. Another grand one is Leicester, a chestnut gelding that has won two first prizes, and also carries 14st. Such a hunter as Smiler, a chestnut gelding, is not met with every day; he is clever en. >ugh to win a steeplechase, and is very tempe- rate and a nice one to ride. ivoodlark, a dun gelding, has great jumping powars, for which he has received two prizes. This animal has beautiful manners and in a perfect ljst. hunter, besides having been broken to harness. A nervous rider in search of a safe con- veyance, its well as a clever mount, would do well to have a look at Lincolu. a well-uiadejbrown geld- ing. He is an extraordinary timber and water jumper, and well known in the Blackmore Vale country. Smuggler, a chestnut gelding, is hanu- 80m. enough for the show yard, and is said to be one of the cleverest hor8es in England. Gossip, a brown mare, up to 14-st., would make a useful mount for a wasterot hounds; she is well;formed, and is a big, bold hunter. Miss Donovan is a neat, compact bay mare, and a very fine fencer. Last 8pa80n she cariied the Masterx of the Vine Hounds, and is a re"I¡:ood sort. SOllgatress, a grey mare, was also hunted by a master of hounds last season. She is very bold, has good staying powers, and is an extraordinary performer. VVeyhill, a roan mare that carried a master of hounds last season In a bank and ditch country, would, indeed, be hard to beat. Jack, a brown gelding that was hunted last season with the North Hereford Hounds, is a clinker, and looks like steeplecliasing. Gamecock, a chesnut gelding, is well mannered and hius good looks. Last season lie was hunted in Devonshire, where he was known as a grand performer. He is a hunter all over, and has also taken prizes. Burton, a bay gelding, is a fine fencer, has rare speed, and looks like winning a Bieeplechase. A perfect wonder over a country is Lady's Maid, a grey mare that was huntod last season with the Meath Hounds. She is winner of a jumping prize, and will make a valuable new purchase. This mare can jump almost anything carrying 13.t. A real good one for a light-weight rider is Haroness, a chestnut mare that is a marvel over a country. Careful, a grey gelding, up to 1431., that was hunted last season with the 20th Hussars' Staghounds, the Henliain Harriers, and the West Norfolk Foxhounds, is an extraordinary performer over any description of country, being especially clever over banks, water, and timber. We are inclined to think that anyone wanting this horse will have to put his hand pretty deep into hi9 pocket before becoming his owner. A nice bay mare, with taking manners, is Miss Smith, well known with the Wexford Foxhounds; she is <1 perfect fencer, and makes » pleasant hack. Goggles, a bay gelding, is equally useful as a hunter or between the shafts, and so is Beetle, a brown gelding. Marquis, another brown gelding, is as handsome as he is clever, and would make a good show horse. A suitable mount for an elderly gentleman is Hercules, n bay cob gelding, a well-made one with first-rate manners, Edith, a bay mare, has a rare turn of speed, and is a good all-round performer. Biron, a brown gelding, up to weight, is exceedingly clever. The other properties, belonging to different gentlemen, are also likely to have plenty of bidding. A couple of valuable hunters that have been cub- hunted up to date, the property of Mr. G, C. Bird- wood, should sell well. Mr. R. T. B?sett, M F.H.. has entered for sale a couplo of hunters, Mr. Bini St. A. Jenner, M.H., three, and Mr. E. J. Knight two, while among others who will contribute to the .I. are Me?rf. Davies, Lloyd, Lewis, Evans, Chri.lie, Whitehall, Simpson, and Holder. C.t.- logues of the sale are now ready, and intnding t?ehasers may obtain them on application t? Mes?. Gottwaltz and Bowring, at the Horse Exchange, Cardiff.

MRS. 110SKELL.S QUARTETT CONCERT…
MRS. 110SKELL.S QUARTETT CONCERT AT PENARTH. rBy zRTus-i The first local trste of chamber-music for the winter season of 1690 was afforded by Mrs. J. Barrow Roakell's String Quarfett Society in a room at the Penarth Hotel on Mondav evening, the available accommodation being inadequate for the number who attended. It must be very ..t i.hctory to Mrs. Roskell to find that a just eslÎmllte is being put upon her tilent and energy. Concerto of chamber- music seldom make money, so it is certain that the love of art is the summum bonum of anyono who undertakes the worry of them. The depressing state of the crowded room, conse- quent upon its being overhaated and decked with carpet* and hanging*, had detrimental effect. The metallic qualities of the pianofmte were i-e- vealed, whilst the creamy qualities of the stringed instruments were often absent. The introduction of a vocal element was an acceptable feature, and the choice of Madame Clara Sumuell could not fail to please. EUr songs Were "Nymphs and Shepherds" (Purcell), (a) ♦♦ Dawn, Gentle Flower," (b) 11 May Dow 11 (Bennett), and "Farewell" (P. E. Haclie). Schubartl-j quartatt in E flilt major (Op. 125), Dvorak's quintett in A major (Op. 81), ..nd Bwethoven's quartett (No. 2 of Op. 18) com- prised tho "chamber" items, and in the hands of Mesir*. Ludwig, Collins, Blagrove, and White- house, it goes iti out, saying that the composers !:blaint)d ?, ii" i Iligent utterance oftheir intentions. The inordinate length of Dvorak's quintett, which, moreover, is not overcharged with melody, was borne with exemplary patience. The piano and strings never seem to blend sympatheti- cally. Hert- Ludwig, the violinist, played a Styrian dance of his own composi- tion, nnd Mr. Whitehouse a 'cello solo by Mackenzie (Op. 10,. In addition to her part in he quintett, Mrf. Roskell gave Raff's Tarantelle, Op 82. There is no occasion to deacant upon the nature of the performance, Mrs. Roskell having 1-mg since proved herself worthy of sincere regard as pinniste. The re-appearance of Mr. J. E. Deacon itS )pianist-accompanier added to the plea- aureof the programme.

A FAMILY SQUABBLE AT____I…
A FAMILY SQUABBLE AT I WHITCHURCH. At Llandnff Police-court on Monday (before Messrs.

The parties had been married two and a half years. Unfortunately, the defendant had given way to intemperance, and on one occasion, when he was in liquor, he forcibly stripped her and threatened to throw her through the window naked. On Thursday last, al:<,ut five o'clock in the afternoon, the complainant was in the house alone, when her motber-in-hiw entered and threatened her with an umbrella and a plate. The female defendant then left and fetched her son, who returned drunk i vvo hours later, and after a conversation lie threatened to finish her." The complainant tried to rush out, but her husband pulled her back and closed tits door. The two defendants then threatened her, and silo scrt-amed "Murder 1" which brought in the neighbouri.—The com. plainant was put into the box and corro- borated Mr. Jones's opening statement. In cross-examination by Mr. Cousins, complainant denied that she suffered from hysterics, and she did not have a fit of laughter immediately after crying out" Murder I" The same evening that he threatened her, after taking his mother home, her husband returned about half- past eleven o'clock. He put his fist in her face an d said, "Smell death; r it murder you, or one lof your family." She had since cleared the house I and gone to her motlier.-R?@xamtned by Mr. Jones, she said she h.d not taken ti?r-d be. :ongiog to her husband. When .he asked her husband why he threatened her be replied, "Oh I I love my mother better than you."—A neighbour was called, who said she hemrd the critis of "Murder," nnd soon after heard the complainant laughing in a merry way. She had never seen the mile de- fendant drunk.-For the defence another neigiibour was called, who said the complainant called Murder" on the doorstep because her husband told her to go into the house.—The Bench stopped the proceedings, and soleS they were convinceu thut a family squabble had taken place, but net serious enough for the court to interfere.—The summonses were dismissed.
