Insomuch that, when I turn from the triumph achieved by French in glorifying the black jacket, gllr- ui.-hed with white sleeves and red cap (Lord Falmouth's colour.-), by decorating it with blue ribbon, as lie rode past tho umpire's chair, throned on the pigskin upan the back of Kingcraft—when 1 turn from that supreme mO, ment of 1870 to the Court, lot me say, or to Parliament, by way of relieving ou from the risk of being bored by another disquisition upon tho delights of Kp.-oui Downs—I find myself almost hy necessity directing your atteutiou now to the fact that the King of the Belgians dined the other day with lIIr, Chaplin now to the circumstance that Tom llrown (meaning loin Hughes, M.P. for Frouie) ha, just taken to the new for him. of racing reformer. A wholcsomer, fresher breeze than lias ever before blown across the Dowiis-tlie up aud (lowus-of Epsom, aud of other great sporting localities, we may be quite sure of this, has been latterly setting fairly, steadily, irresistibly there, in the way of systematic improvement. It is one of those great social problems for which we are all bent upon dis- covering (llltl energetically workin out a solution. In this direction, at any rate, we are sanguine of, at last, achieving the hitherto despaired of fmt-"lllluiug" the circle. Namely, by henceforth so arranging matters upou the turf, that all shall be on the square in the ring. Duelling and pugilism have eaeh, in turn, died out among our lesser and viler in,titlltiou>, during a comparatively few year, within the range of out, own immediate recol- lection. With a little perseverance in the efforts now making for the reform of turf arrangements, the time may yet come when the black-leg and the welsher may be remembered with the dodo and the dinornis as amongst the extinct .-pecie- of animate creation. The coming of the Easter holidays startled the Legisla- ture into the recognition of the need there was for the toil- of theses-ion being ha>tened, A supplementary, aid. therefore, a still sterner reminder as to the lapse of time comes to them in the recurrence of the annual recess at Whitsuntide. All that has as yet been accomplished h", beeu the I'a.,ing, at length, through the House of Com- Ulon" of the Irish Laud Bill, added to the passing through both House- of the Naturalization Act. and the Peace Preservation Act as applied to Ireland. It seems almost hopeless, at this advanced period of the session', to look- forward to any thing more of considerable importance being accomplished in the way of practical legislation. Ilr- Former's Education Bill can hardly be expected, even by himself, to be carried, in the teeth of the energetic oppo- sition which is threatened to it through all its various stage- in both Houses, until it is perfected at last into an enactment. Then agnin, there is the Ballot Bill, introduced by the GOHrIIWellt-tbe which Ballot Bill will have, as grace- fully and a, iugeniously as I'o"ible, to be withdrawn a- a hopeless achievement, at any rate, for another twelve- month. Of the Licensing Bill and of the Mine.- Regula- tions Bill, of the Real Estate Intestacy Bill aud of the Saving- Bauks Bill, of tho High Court of Justice Bill and of the University Tests Bill, the prospects can be anything but satisfactory or encouraging to the Ministers of the Crown especially entrusted with the responsibility of their ftirtlierance--to the Lorll Chancellor, that is, and the Home Secretary, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Even the earnestness of our serious-minded and zealous Prime Minister has failed in the attempt to cram the work of three sessions into one. Self-sacrificing though the House of Commons may bt,, it lias found it simply im. practicable to do without its holidays at Easter and at Whitsuntide—as impracticable as to hold sittings on those red-letter days in the calendar, the Derby and the Oaks.

Sir James Graham, once upon a time, .-poke in the House of Mr. Disraeli as the Red Indian of Debate, who loved to decorate his belt with the scalps of his enemies.

And liitherto, what- ever el-e may be said about him. he has somehow contrived to hold it He has survived the biography of him, penned with a laboriou- intermingling of dullness and malignity. 1 by that Randal Leslie of the world of letters, Mr. Thomas Mackniaht.

It seems like bad ta-te, to say the least of it, the reference to "old do' and the talk abont the tinkling as of bells being audible when next Mr. Disraeli, on I'isillg. uncovers to address the House :-that last apparently graphic touch betraying, by the way, the haurl of one unfamiliar with h;'s theuie.

Seeing that it is some time since the last fiction, by the author of Cothin Geoftrey," and of so many other fie- tions. made its appearance, an eager welcome, I doubt not, will be accorded to her new work, the publishers of which, I observe, are the Messrs.

ASSAULT L'PON CARDIFF BAILIFFS. Yesterday, lit the Cardiff police-court (before Mr. It. 0, Jones), Daniel Pretherick aud llichard Wolfe, bailiff., of the Glamorgan County Court, summoned Frederick Clode, :l'l'l bî{ef'dS(;:euÛrj;g: all of whom carry ou their respective busiues in the neigh- bourhood of the Docks, for an assault committed on the complainants while they wero in the pxecntiou of a pro. cess of the said court. The defendants were further charged with rescuing a horse aud cart, which had been legally seized by the complainants. Mr. Morgau appeared for Keefe aud Wolfe, anl Mr. Iugledew was for the (kfence, The evidence for the prosecution went to show that on the uOtli ult., in pursuance of a writ of execution for the >ulIlof t8 1ùs" issued against a Mr, Guy (who with the defendants constituted the firm of Guy, Keefe, Buriitt and Co,), the complainants proceeded to the warehouse in Hutc-street, in the occupation of the company named, aui' finding that JIlt., GHV was from home, seized a horse and cart bdongiug to the firm, which was standing out- side in the street. On Mr. Keefe coming up and learning the state of affairs, an altercation took place, in which a re-cue of the goods seized was made. In the struggle which ensued between the part-es, the horse was very roughly handled, and the two bailiffs fared no better. Mr. Clode, as the horse and cart were being driven off by the order, so it was alleged, of the defendant Keefe, came up and pulled the bailiffs rom the vehicle when they attemp- ted to resist its illegal seizure. It was al-o stated that the man who had driven the cart off by the order of the defendant Keefe, had been treated, together with Mr. Clode. by the complainllnt>, In cross-examination, one of the complainants—Prether- ick—admitted that he had had some drink. He could not say how much, but he thought about-ixglas^es. He would swear he was not drunk. (Laughter.) Jllr, Iugledew, in addressing the bench, argued, in the first place, that there had been no assault, or if there had bcell, it ii-a, of a trivial character, and had been brought on by the illegal conduct of the bailiffs themselves, lie contended '.hat where goods belonging jointly to three people were seized by virtue of execution for a debt owed by one person, the other two were not thereby divested of the right of possession of two-thirds of the property so seized. lie maintained that his clients had done perfectly right in resisting the i1!egal act of the bailiffs. Mr, Jones pointed ont the difficulty there was in the way of deciding what wns one-third of II horse and cnrt, (Laughter.) After a lengthened discussion between lIIr, Ingleclew mllt the Bench with reference to the point at issue, a number of witnesses for the defence wa3 called, who proved that Keefe had never given any order to his man to drive oil' with the cart from the possession of the bailiff's, IInll that Mr. Clode had only interfered in the mutter at the last moment purely for the ^ike of protecting the horse, which he saw was bcinsr cruelly treated. Before deciding the CIISe, the stipendiary magistrate wi, hell the attention of the high bailiff to be drawn to the manner in which, as it appeared from the evidence, the two bailiff's, as officers of the coiitit N- court, had gone about their duty. He thought it a great pity that persons in their position, and having duties to perform such as thev had, should spend >0 mlleh of their time in public-houses and drinking. The whole of the system pursued of taking parties, when seizures had to be malic, to public-houses, as had been done in this case, was posi. tively bad, and had a tendency to create disturbances. JIlt" Joucs was perfectly satisfied that no assault had been com- mitted by Clode, but with respect to the othar defen- dants, lie would fine them in the mitigated sum of III" aud costs.

GREEK BRIGANDAGE. ATHENS, May G, The captured brigands of the baud of the Arvauitaioi. seven in nuriber-tbree taken in two engagements in Birotia some time ago and four after the murders at Deli-i -were tried oil Saturday, the 21st. The trial commenced about half past four, and continued, with only an inter- ruption of about an hour at midnight, until past six on Sunday morning. The judicial proceedings were conducted with perfect order sixteen witnesses were examined, and the jury having returned a verdict of guilty, the President of the tribunal pronounced the sentence of death on all the seven. The evidence given at the trial confirmed the general opinion on three important poi,t?:-Fir?t, that the mnrder, at Delisi were caused by the precipitate and nndis- ciplined manner in which the troops were pushed forward; ;id ilitb ibad)¡c;;i;Otl7eeil:lt,a r: management of the cavalr' allowed Tako? and nine more of the brigands to escape by the open and well-cultivated eouutry about Skoimatari; and, third, that the band kept up correspondence with influential friends at Athens, even after the capture at Pikerme. It has now been made clear that the information given to Mr. Erskine at first by the present Government was utterly false. The public were told that the band of the Arvauitaioi came into Attica only the night before the capture of Lord Muncaster's party, and the line of their march was given in detail. But the baull was concealed for some days on Mount Pente- licus, within 12 miles from Athens, and the abbot of the Monastery of Peutelicus has been arrested and imprisoned as an accomplice. Eighteen shepherds have also been aI" rested for concealing the brigands or supplying them with food. The seven brigands condemned on Sunday last cannot be executed before Thursday next. Their appeal wiil be judged on Monday, and doubtless the sentence will be confirmed. The executioner is now on a provincial tour. Last Friday he beheaded three brigands at Stylida, on Saturday two at Lamia, on Monday two at Hypate: he is now at LHadeia, whcre he is to execute a notorious criminal. He will then go to Chalois aud come to Athens to behead the seven under sentence of death, and lie must then go to Corinth to execute five brigands who have been for some time awaiting the execution of their sentence. One of the brigands at Stylida ha,1 been condemned to death five times. In my last lcttcrl endeavoured to explain how the employ- mento, brigands by nienin power and the praeticeof grant. illg pay and pensions to amnestied criminals have installed bngandacein an influential social position andeoITupted the public administration in the Departments of the Interior and of War. I shall now give an outline of the career of the murderer. Takos Arvanitakes, as a hrigand in Greece. The hi-tory of Takos throws light on the causes that per- petuate brigandage- and on the measures indispensable as preliminaries to its suppression. Takos and his six brothers belong to that Vallach nation- ality which has given the Hellenic Kingdom some of its most wealthy and generous benefactors, its ablest Minis. ters and lawyers, and its best shepherds. Takos and his brother Diuos were two of the inhabitants of Mount Pindus who joined the Greek officers in King Otho's ser- vice when they invaded Epirus at the commencemect of the Crimean war, and were put forward by the Greek Go- vernment as representatives of the suffering t hristian» who were goaded into insurrection by Turkish oppression. When the Hellenic invaders retired into Greece carrying off 10,000 head of cattle and 40.000 sheep which were robbed front the Christian subjects of the Sultan, Takos and Dinos became drovers and cattle dealers, like Hoh TIDY, lu the year 1S57 Takos was at Athens, where he had a powerful protector. But at some period between that year and 1800 he went by auother name than Arvanitakes, and was engaged as a brigand in lifting the sheep and cattle which his more peaceful bro- thers sold, and in robbing, murdering, and ransoming men, women, and children. Through the influence of the men who used brigands from time to time as the representatives of oppressed orthodoxy and calumniated Hellenism, he ob- tained an amnesty, and was employed witli, good pay in the corps of guides which accompanies the trortps who are sent in pursuit of brigands. As Takos knew very little of the topography of the Hellenic Kingdom at that time, the ap. pointment was one of those jobs which have demoralised the civil and military administration of Greece. Takos was merely kept in leash to be let loose at a convenient opportunity as a bloodhound, to advance the party, political, or patriotic schemes of his patrons. After an interval lie obtained his discharge, either because he thought he could do better by resuming the profession of a brigand than by continuing to serve as a military guide, or because he was wanted by the agitators of "The Great Idea" to figure as an oppressed Christian when Epirus was to have taken up arms to aid the war of annexation in Crete. The danserous character of Takos was go well known that the shepherds of his own nationality secretly made auxious deaiauds to an officer under whom he 'bad served that his dis- charge should not be granted. This officer repre- sented to the ?tiniiter of War that Tako' was all amnestied brigand and a dangerous character, and stated that it would be well to refuse his discharge, and prudent to keep a strict watch over him. The recommen- dation of the officer was disregarded, and the influence of the patrons of Takos at the War-office obtained his rlis. chare, This is the career in Greece of a man whom the Government of M. Zaimis is telling its with noisy reitera- tion came into Greece as a chief of brigands from Turkey in the month of January of the present year. An honester Government would have aided in bringing all the facts to light, in order to obtain the assistance; of the nation in putting an end to a state of things for which the civilised world holds the nation responsible. I am sorry to add that Takos. with his nine followers, and panó, with his captive still evade pursuit, aud their impunity causes suspicions and fear- among the

THE MERTHYR TYDFIL LOCAL BOARD AND SEWAGE QUESTION. LONDON', Vi:NIA7. In the Court of Chancery, Lincoln's-inn, to-day, before Lord Justice Giffard, the appeal motion of the Attorney- General v. The Merthyr Tydfil Local Board of Health was brought forward. Sir HOlllldell Palmer. Q.C., M.P., Sir Richard Bag gallay, Q.C., and Mr. Phean were counsel for the appel- lants; and Mr. Jessel. Q.C' M.P., and Mr. Marten, ou behalf of the respondents. Sir R. Baggallay, in the temporary absence of his leader, opened the case. He said that this was an apnlication to rescind or vary all order which had recently been made by Lord Rem illy. Master of the Rolls, under the following cir- cumstances. In 1808 the Local Board of Health proceeded with the construction of certain permanent works for improvin the sewage arraiig?met? of Mer- tbyr q'Irdfil The d, -mnugo communicated with the river Taff three miles below the town; and it being com- plained by the original plaintiffs, who were the owners of certain mineral works in the locality, that this diversion of the sewage was an injury to their property, a bill was filed in Chancery, and an ex parte injunction obtained. In the course of the following spring an application was made to the out to issue a commission of sequestration against the Local Board: but when the motion came on for hear- ing it was arranged, after some difficulty, that the seques- tration should be suspended to give the Local Board au opportunity to adopt means for a partial purification of the stream. The LocJ Board constructed the best works thev possibly could under the circnmstances: and although it could not for a moment be asserted that those works effected a very material improvement, still an im. provement was perceptible in the condition of the stream. The Master of the Rolls had up to that time shown the defendants some little indulgence, but they were rather surprised at the severe view which his lordship subsequently took of the case, inasmuch as, in the mean- time. they had done everything in their power to remedy tlieevileo plaineilof. The view which Lord Romilly then took was, that unless it could be shown that the water was sufficiently pure for drinking purposes, the sequestration must go oil. The plan which was to have been adopted for the purification of the stream was the construction of two tanks, which, being provided with filterers, and placed in suitable situations in the river, caused the solid impurity to sink to the bottom. One of the tanks had been fixed, and the other wa- in course of completion, but on their com- pletion the water would not be fit for drinking purpose;- a thing which was beyond expectation, because it was very rarely hi for t tat purpose. What was contended wa; that the local board had not materially added to the impurity of the rivcr, and that it was not possible by any temporary works completed to remove the nuisance complained of. The defendants had adopted an Act of Parliament which authorised the compulsory acquisition of land beyond the limit uf their jurisdiction of improving the sewage. In accordance with this. they had deviated front their original plan, and purchased four hundred acres of land some eight mile- down the river. At this point, which was contiguous to the village of Troedyrhiw, the plaintiffs owned two thousand acres of mineral property. They asserte<1 that they had expendetl between i'1,000 and £;1,000 in making the property suit- able for mineral opei-atonq, and alleged also that as the defendants' works were to be at a point of the stream above their owu property, theywollld suffer injury thereby. So alive were they to their own interests, however, thai they hail promised that if the works were carrie,1 down below their property they would withdraw their oppo-ition: but this would obviously place the de- fendants in a worse position than btfQAe, tyecawse they might then be subjected to similar opposition from the owners of land in the new vicinity they entered. In May, 1808. the defendants constructed a culvert a little above the village of Troedyrhiw, but the effluvia being unbearable to the inhabitants, ihe cul-, ert was extended so as to gobe- low the village, and it was in consequence of that altera- tion that the plaintiffs had taken their present proceedings. The drainage of Merthyr was of a very primitive charac- ter before the Local Board of Health came into existence, and the defendants evidently entertained a very strong de- sire to improve the previously-existing state of things. They had done everything in the way of temporary measures to alleviate the evils which the plaintiffs complained of, but could not promise that any measures would be effectual until the completion of the permanent works. (; nless the judgment of the Master of the Rolls was set aside, the sequestration would be enforced, and the local boarll would be at the mercy of the plaintiffs, who, whatever they asserted, would hesitate to say that the state of things was injurious to the health of the inhabitant-, and that the local board had not been actuated by an honest desire and intention to comply with every rea,onablething that would be required of them. In fact. if any better mode than that which they had adopted could be suggested for alle- viating the mischief until the completion of the permanent works, the defendants would have no hesitation in acting upon it. Matters would be different if the defendants evinced an inclination to contumaciously disobey the order of the court; and if the order of the court were acted upon it would have the effect of embarrassing the defendants instead of expediting the works. The perma- nent works were constructed with borrowed money, and if the sequestration were enforced it would be the means of preventing the local board from exercising their borrow- ing powers. Sir R. Palmersaid itwas a very proper thing for the court to exercise its powers of sequestration undercertain eircum- stances, in order to show that it would not be trifled with, but he argued that the evidence went to show that the defendants had adopted means for procuring a remedy for the existing eyils-a remedy which, though not so effectual as the permanent works would be, would materially diminish the injury which had been complained of. It had been sl1g-gesterl that a scientific man should be appointed to inquire whether the temporary works of the defendants were as good a- could be expected of them, but he con- tended that if that course were persisted in, it would entail an increased expenditure without insuring a corresponding advautage. lIIr, Jessel argued, for the plaintiffs, that the sequestra- tion should be allowed to be enforeeti. His Lordship did not see that the sequestration woulol place the plaintiffs in a better positiou than they were al. rcady in. Everything that could be done for diminishing the nuisance ought to be done by the defendants, aud he thought the better course to pursue would be to appoint a competent engineer, who should ascertain whether the temporar'y measures which the defendants had carried out were effectual. If they were not. and there was no prospect of improvement, then the sequestration should take it- course. lIfr, Jessel said the defendant-had acted in bad faith throughout, and would not do more than they were obliged, utterly regardless of the injury which the in- habitants sustained. Mr. Marten followed on the same side, remarking that the decision of Lord Romilly should not be interfered with. The Local Board were a body who would not do anything except under compulsion. Formerly the river was sufficiently pure that it could be USt,,1 for bathing purposes and its water partaken of by cattle, but now such things were impossible. The temporary measures proposed by the defendants were totally inadequate for removing the nuisance complained of. The court then adjourned.

CARDIFF. The number of arrivals this week 11, somewhat in. creased but still the supply of tonnage is far below the re- quirements of the shipping trade, and our dock" compared with their state in buy times, may be said to be nearly empty. Steamers are a great assistance at such times, because ibey a -e not so dependent on the weather as sail- j ing vessels: and further, because often they are chartered to carry coals tor which contracts have been made. Those merchants, therefore, vho hare entered into such engage- ments are enabled, with some amount of regularity, to ,soheib:esi;\iîn:h':e 1::lil:ft.ii;t tonnage, and cannot keep their collieries anything like fnlly at work. Had (iiiotatioiio of freight shown any improve- ment. we might reasonably have assumed that coal is in better demand, bot it is not so, aOtI there can be no doubt that buyers are shy on account of the advanced prices of, coals. The iron trade continnes good. Small quantities: of pitwood and our other usual imports have been lauded. There is nothing with regard to this branch of our trade worthy of note, and everything being slack, better times arc most heartily wished for.

SWANSEA.

The Belgian iron trade is still active; this is especially the case with the rolling mills producing rails.

THE IRON, TIN-PLATE, AND COAL TRADES OF SOUTH WALES. Since last week but little business has been transacted in the iron market, but notwithstanding this, to witness the activity which prevails at the iron works is sufficient manifestation of the flourishing condition of the trade. Makers throughout the district have all the work they can do, and to clear off the ample list of orders on their books will enable them to afford full employment to all hands for some time to come, The rapid expansion of the ,pri., demand l?a?. if anything, over-tested the capacity gf many of the worki, an i now t here is a slight -lackenin in inquiries, consequent ulm the I)a?t preponderance of engagements over the prediction. But little anxiety is felt in regard to the future, prospects, extending over a year being decidedly encouraging, and no ground I, left for apprehending anything approach- ing dulue-s in this or the ensuiug year. Makers are, therefore, not disposed to burden themselves with fresh contracts at present, although such may be secured with- out an effort, and at full current prices, an,1 with, perhaps, a slight advance. Extended terms of delivery are also offered, but makers may safely decline such offers, a, it is clear that before long the same specifications may be booked at considerably higher prices. Such a re-i?it is i.,Ii,.t ,I ty ,?(lv eks from the principal soiirce?, and to realise it makers have only to remain cai??- for awhile, and in the meantime gct their hands clear of old orders. As was predicted, the stay of the trade-at least, in the principal branch, the manufacture of railway ii-on-are Russian and American requirements; and in this respect there is still a prosperous period to be lookey forward to. The restriction which characterised transactions a short time ago is fast disappearing, and large or(ler? on I i,e-ingc;ul:rc ''hg¡ tn(hhll'ätr?'er'Vih the Cnited States it is pretty e!ear the trade will be oxtcn- sive throughout the year, the tariff difficulty, in all proba- bility, having been di-posed of. More freedom is, there. fore, evinced in the jiving out of contracts than when the fate of the Bill remained uncertain, and it is generally believed that even larger shipments will yet he made to the transatlantic ports than has been the ease for some years past. From the South-West Coast of America, and also from some of the colonies, inquiries are about to cease for a time, at least. The demand on these accounts was only temporary. Indian requirements are falling off, and pro- bably Will ilot be rcyived for tL mouth or tvfg, In the home trade there is not much change to note. The pig iron trade is reported firmer, and prices have a tendency to advance. Bars and other descriptions of make are in average reque-t. In the tiu-plate trade business continues to be restricted by the high price of tin. The monopoly in the tin market is much complained of, quotations, it is alleged, being capriciously settled by smelters, and without any reference to the actual demand. Manufacturers are determined to limit their purchases of block tin to immediate requirements, and there is little doubt that in the end this course will reduce prices to their proper position. Complaints of want of tonnage are still prevalent in the steam coal trade. Many foreign orders are in consequence delayed, and employment at the col. lieries is not so regular as it otherwise would he, The de. mand from the principal foreign markets keeps tolerably good, and quotations are well maintained. House coal proprietors are doing about the usual business this time of the year. Coke is in active request.

A petition to Parliament setting forth the views of the committee was adopted in reference to Mr. Vernon Harcourt's notice of amendement on the religious question.

SRUDKN" DEATH.—We regrat to have to record a most awful instance of sudueu death in counection with th bazaar we have referied to above. It appears that one of the domestics in the service of Captain Jone-, who had been assisting at the bazaar, while in the act of taking some flowers to the carriage of Mrs. I. Morgan, stopped to speak to a friend, and had scarcely uttered a word, before she fell dead at the feet of her companion. Die excitement of the day, acting upou her usually sensitive mind. had proved too much for her. It is supposed t", t heart disease also accelerated her death. Shewasniuch esteemed in the village, both by her employer and by all to whom she was personally knowu.
