SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCES AND ENTERTAINMENTS IN THE BARRY DISTRICT. Several public performances and entertainments were held in the Barry district last week, and we are pleased to find that in every instance they were attended with a liberal measure of success :— CHILDREN'S PEBFOBMANCE AT BARRY MARKET HALL. A grand performance by the Barry Church Sunday School children was given in the Market Hall, Barry, on Wednesday evening, the 31st ultimo. The building was filled by a highly delighted audience, amongst those Ipresent being the Rev Canon Allen, M.A. (rector), Rev H. Du Heaume and Mrs Du Heaume, Captain and Mrs Whall and Miss Whall, Mr and Mrs W. H. Miller. Miss Kilmister, the Misses Small, Mr and Mrs J. Williams and Miss Williams, Mrs and Miss Ash- more, Mr W. Ashmore, Mr A. Leyshon, the Misses Cadman, Miss Paterson, Miss Abbott, Mrs Neale, Mrs Powell, Mr and Mrs Vaughan, Mr Rutherford, Miss James, Mr and Mrs D. J. Greig, Mr and Mrs R. S. Robinson, &c. The arduous task of training the children to an excellent state of proficiency was thoroughly overcome by the able conductor, Mr E. S. Johnson, of The Parade, the performance throughout being of a most pleasing and artistic character, and upon Mr Johnson and the youthful company is reflected much well-deserved praise for the very succeaful and faultless manner in which the different parts were executed. The programme commenced with a pretty operetta, entitled, 11 Grandfatber's Birthday," which the young artistes went through without a hitch, and with thorough order and promptitude each per- former being entitled to great credit. The operetta was followed by several pleasing tableaux, including I- The fortune teller." Rock of ages," "Christmas joys," ''Faith, hope, and charity," The reaper and the flowers," Roses and thorns," "Lorelie," "Taking the veil," "Unity." scene from Red Riding Hood," and scenes from Uncle Tom's Cabin (" Am I not a man and a brother ? ') each yielding delightful effects, one especially being worthy of special mention, that of "Faith, hope, and charity," in the production of which Mrs Burridge, of Cardiff, assisted, this tableaux being pronounced as decidedly the best. Those who kindly gave their assistance during the evening were Mrs Du Heaume, Mrs R. S. Robinson, Mrs E. S. Johnson, Mrs J. Johnson,. and Mrs A. J. Rees. Mr W. Ashmore constructed most of the woodwork required, and the local coast- guards carried out the tasteful decorations. The music was supplied by an excellent special band, the members of which included Messrs A. J. Rees, H. De Boer, H. Cload, and D. Lewis, who accom- panied to the evident satisfaction of all. At the close, the Rev Canon Allen proposed, and the Rev H. Du Heaume seconded, a hearty vote of thanks to Mr E. S. Johnson for the able, successful, and painstaking manner with which he had instructed the children for such a capital performance. Canon Allen also extending the vote of thanks to the children and other performers. Mr E. S. Johnson suitably replied amidst hearty applause, We are pleased to understand the performance will be repeated by special request, in a week or two. THE "TRIAL OF JOHN BAKLEYCOBN" AT CADOXTON. At Bethel English Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Court-road, Cadoxton, on Wednesday week last, before a large audience, a very efficient amateur dramatic company gave a character representation, in swimming and realistic style, of The Trial of John Barleycorn." The various parts were admirably sustained from beginning to end, so that it would be superfluous on our part to particularise the merits of the respective performers in giving so prominent effect to one of the best high-moralled temperance dialogues. The chief justice. Mr S. Davies, seemed true to life as lord chief justice Mesars J. Meikle and C. Howe were efficient associate judges Mr W. Gammon, a stately clerk of arraigns; Mr Wallace Davies, an erudite attorney general Mr D. Edwards, a learned counsel for the defence Mr Jones-Davies, a model prisoner Mr W. Rees, a typical constable and the jury was a thoroughly intelligent one. The entire make-up was very effective, Mr Jones- Davies being a most forlorn-looking prisoner as he stood in the dock adorned with steel bracelets while Mr W. Rees, as constable, seemed as if to the manner born. The cross-examination of "John Speedplough," John Hawkins," Mrs Woe- maker," and several others was both interesting and amusing, but the evidenoe for the prosecution proved overwhelming. The parts of other witnesses were filled with efficiency by Mr J. Dunn, Mrs Davies (Police Station), Mr A. Dunn, Miss Watkins, Mr James, jun., Mr A. B. James. Mr R. Miles, Mr R. Edwards, Mr J. Meikle, and Mr D. Taylor was the under-sheriff. After the court had been addressed by the respective counsel, the jury were asked to consider their verdict, and after deliberat- ing the prisoner was found guilty. Prisoner pleaded hard for mercy, but having been addressed by the venerable judge he was sentenced to penal servitude for life. Prisoner was then removed below by a warder and constable. A most en- joyable evening then terminated. We have been asked to thank Messrs Parry Brothers, the Holton- road drapers, who kindly placed various articles for decorative purposes at the disposal of the com- mittee. The performance, we hear with pleasure, will be repeated in different places in the district. SOCIAL GATHERING AND ENTERTAINMENT AT THE WELSH MISSION CHURCH, BARRY DOCK. The same evening a most successful and enjoy- able social gathering and entertainment was held at the Welsh Church Mission-room, Holton-road, Barry Dock, when there was a crowded atten- dance throughout. The proceedings opened at five o'clock with a tea to the members and friends of the mission and the children of the Sunday School, those who kindly sent contributions or assisted at the tables including Mrs and the Misses Williams (Penycoitre). Mrs and the Miss John (Kingsland-crescent), Mrs Curran, Mrs J. R. Llewellyn, Miss Morgan (Graving Dock-street), Mrs Simmonds, Miss Evans (Clarence House), Mrs and the Misses Davies (Morel-street), Miss Thomas (Golden Key), Mrs Wedge, Rev J. H. Evans, Messrs D. Lloyd, E. Lloyd, J. Jones. Dr Sixamith, T. Hopkins (Bassett Arms), Jenkin Lloyd, R. Howell, &o. After tea a variety entertainment was held, the Rev E. Morris, rector, proving, as usual, a happy chairman, the adjudicator of the music competitions being Mr J. Williams. Cadox- ton, and that of the other subjects the Rev E. S. Roberts, B.A., Penarth, the secretarial duties being undertaken by Mr J. R. Llewellyn, and Miss A. Davies, Newport, Mon., and Miss Letitia John. Kingsland-crescent (the organist of the church), were efficient accompanists, while the piano was kindly lent by Mr D. Davies, Morel-street. Songs, recitations. &c., were prettily given by Miss M. S. Davies, Mrs Curran, the Welsh Church Party (conducted by Miss John), Mr D. Davies, Mr R. Howell, Lizzie John, Elsie Schweitzer, Maggie John, Lettuce John, Arthur B. Jones, T. John, D. Jones, W. John, Emma Walker, Lily Davies, Willie John, Katie Simmonds, Willie John, &c. The results in the competitive subjects were as follows :—Writing 23rd Psalm (Welsh)- 1, William James Owen 2, David Jones (Eng- lish)-I, David Jones. Recitation, Y gloch angladdol," under 16-1, T. John 2, W. John. Extempore speech subject," Humility "-Six I competed best, Mr W. Lewis; 2nd, Mr Jenkin Lloyd. Hymn tune" Hermas" (Welsh)-Five competed 1, Lizzie John 2, Lily Davies. Hymn tune, "Irby" (English)-Fifteen competed: 1, Lily Davies 2, Mark Molineux. this being a very pleasing competition. Love letter-Eight com- peted 1, Mr Jenkin Lloyd 2, Miss M. S. Davies, and the reading of the successful compositions created much amusement. Essay on Truth 1, Mr John Jones, Golden Key. Holton-road! During the evening a distribution of prizes to the Sunday scholars took place, the first prize-takers both for regular attendance and good conduct being Annie Jones, Holton-road, and David Jones, Kingsland-crescent, the prizes consisting of hand- some volumes of sacred literature, being generously given by Mr E. Jones.

CADOXTON-BARRY HISTRIONIC SOCIETY. PERFORMANCE IN AID OF THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL FUND. The members of the Cadoxton-Barry Histrionic Society, the president of which is Major-General Lee, R.E., J.P., gave a most successful performance at the Iddesleigh-hall, Cadoxton, on Thursday evening, the 1st inst., in aid of the fund for the establishment of a cottage hospital in the district, Some time having elapsed since this society gave its previous performance, a considerable amount of interest was aroused when it was announced that they would re-appear on the evening named in the popular dramatic sketches, A Husband to Order" and The Spitalfields Weaver," both of which were staged, notwithstanding the short time which the members had at their disposal, in a thoroughly creditable and efficient manner, and the degree of appreciation felt was manifested by the frequent applause with which the audience greeted the various performers. The stage arrangements were efficiently carried out in every detail by the manager, Mr E. A. H. Stewart, energetically assisted by Mr J. S. Howell, and Mr Wallace W. Davies proved an excellent secretary. The dresses were supplied by Messrs Simmonds, of London Mr T. Michael Davies was the pianist; Mr H. De Boer the violinist and the Barry District Orchestral Society rendered valuable services during the evening. It may here be mentioned that the make-up of the company was under the superintendence of Mr W. Kittow, of the Cardiff Histrionic Club. The Cadoxton-Barry Histrionic Society has not been in existence more than about two years, but during that time they have been the means of contributing upwards of £ 30 towards local charitable objects, namely-the Nursing Association. £. 9 the poor of the district at Christmas, j64 St Mary's Church. Barry Dock, A7 lie and the Pontypridd Colliery Disaster Relief Fund, d610. in addition to whatever proceeds may be forthcoming from the present performance. Amongst those present were Mrs and Miss Brooks (Barry Dock Hotel), the Misses Williams (Tyne- wydd), Dr and Mrs Treharne, Mr and Mrs W. H. Miller, Dr and Mrs Bray, Mr and Mrs E. S. Johnson (The Parade), Mr W. Thomas (The Hayes), the Misses Small, Miss Fleming, Miss E. V. Llewellyn, Mr L. W. Jones, Mr and Mrs Owen Lewis, Mr and Mrs S. Davies and Miss Davies, Miss Paul, Mr and Mrs F. C. Williams (Royal Hotel), Mrs R. T. Rees, Mrs G. F. Willett. Miss Williams (Barry), Mr J. B. Mockford, Miss Evans (Clarence House), Mr R. F. Illingworth, Mr L. Y. Owen, Mr W. Rees and Miss Rees (Central Police Station), Mrs W. L. Hughes, Mr A. Chappell. Mr F. Chappell, the Misses Harry (Barry Dock), Mr H. J. Owen, Mr 1. T. Dando, Mr F. C. Milner, Mrs McCullum, Mr F. J. Greener, &o. The first play was The Spitalfields Weaver," the following being the dramatis personce :— Simmons (Brown's fellow workman) Mr D. McCallum Brown Mr Greenwood Darville (Cousin to Adelle-the Villain of the Piece) [Mr J. S. Howell Dawson (the Servants Major Domo) Mr W. Davies Servant (to hand round the things like) Mr F. E. [Percy Haigh Adelle (Brown's Wife) Miss Rowlands The plot of the piece is by no means difficult to fathom, but the play is certainly interesting throughout. Brown, it seems, had been smiled upon by Dame Fortune, and from a workman in Spitalfields he ascends the ladder of success until at length he finds himself housed in a mansion, where he receives the elite with unsparing hospitality. Brown is married to a pretty and accomplished young lady—Adella—who naturally endeavours to instil into Brown the devious ways of the upper ten," but her husband, though very respectful and loving, does not seem to appreciate the change in social position, and warmly receives an old fellow-workman named Simmons, who rouses much appreciable hilarity by his eccentricit of dress and actions. Brown's disli" :g-her life is augmented by the 9 ugh veering manner of Darville and Lctwson, the servants' major domo," and the appearance of Simmonds tends to add to the underhanded ridicule bestowed upon poor Brown. During this time Darville has been endeavouring to transfer the love of Adelle from her husband to himself, and in doing so ex- presses surprise at her marriage with a man so much beneath her position. Simmons' visit also affords scope for the treacherous Darville to under- mine the love of Adelle for her husband, but she promptly informs her cousin of her husband's good qualities, and declares she truly loves him. Darville's advances are first discovered by Simmons, who proceeds to inform Brown of what he considers to be undue attention towards Adelle. Poor Brown can scarcely believe it, but the observations of Simmons recall many suspicious expressions towards him uttered by Darville, the Major Domo, and others. The un- satisfactory position of affairs in Brown's house- hold came to an end. Before escorting Adelle to a ball, Darville sends a bouquet to Adelle by Dawson, and as the latter is fulfilling his mission Brown takes away the floral tribute, and discovers amongst the flowers a billet doux addressed to his wife, which he would not read. Simmons, however, does so, and the contents of the same were sufficient to warrant Brown, at the first opportunity, obtaining a satisfactory explanation from Darville. A heated altercation ensue, a duel is arranged, and in the duel Darville is killed. Simmons tells Adella the reason of the absence of her husband and Darville, and she at once demonstates anger at the action of Danville, and sincere affection for her husband, Simmons exclaiming that he knew it" all along. Of course, Brown is unaware of his wife's fidelity, and considers it is the best for him to emigrate, but explanations follow, and husband and wife are lovingly reconciled. Miss Rowlands sustained the part of Adelle with becom- ing grace throughout, and was well worthy of the warm applause bestowed upon her. As husband, Mr Greenwood did his part well, but did not, perhaps, give enough force to speech and action in some instances where most particularly required. The villain was splendidly portrayed by Mr J. S. Howell, and must be described as faultless, the plot not being sufficiently prolonged to give sufficient scope for his histrionic abilities to be shown. The laughter provoked by Mr D. McCallum, as Simmons, was much appreciated, and intermingled appreciably with the solemnity of other portions of the piece. Mr Wallace Davies was faultlessly suited to the character of Dawson, and certainly acted it with much success. Mr Haigh, as the servant, was also decidedly realistic and good. The serio-comic sketch, A Husband to Order," was next staged, the caste being as follows :— Baron de Beaupre (A Returned Exile Nobleman), Mr [D. McCallum Adolph Marceau (An Officer in the Imperial Guard), [Mr Wallace Davies Anatole Latour (A Young Lawyer, and then a Soldier, [and then--), Mr F. E. Percy Haigh Phillipeau (A Wealthy Farmer-Cousin to Adolph [Marceau), Mr E. A. H. Stewart Servant Mr Treharne Rees Josephine (The Baron's Niece), Miss Jennie Welch Elise (The Baron's Ward) Miss Rowlands Madame Phillipeau Mrs Stewart Period 1st Act-1806. 2nd Act—1808. The piece in a pleasing one during the first act, but in the second portion the interest of the audience flagged to some extent. Baron de Beaupre, a returned exile nobleman, being promised that his estates would be returned to him if his niece married an aide-de-camp of the French Emperor, expresses willingness that the alliance should take place, but not so Josephine, who has great objec- tions to marrying a man she has never seen, and, besides, a common soldier." Eventually, how- ever, the two meet, and then she confesses to her- self she cares a little for him after all, and at last consents to be married. Anatole Latour, a young lawyer, causes much amusement by his attempts to win the love of Elise, the Baron's ward, but she would prefer a soldier, and Anatole, therefore, determines to enlist. After the marriage with Adolph Marceau, an officer in the imperial guard, Josephine is much shocked at her husband mixing with, and receiving congratulations from, some friends whom she hautily described as common people." Phillipeau, a cousin to Adolph Marceau, and his wife are also cut" by Josephine, who refuses her husband's request to receive and. welcome them, and Adolph Marceau then deter- mines to return at once to the army. In the second act, Josephine has relented in her feelings towards her husband and his relations, but the news- arrives that Adolph Marceau has been killed in< battle. This, however, was only a ruse on the part of her husband, who visits the baron's chateau dis- guised as his (Adolph Marceau's) brother, a lawyer.. He taunts Josephine in reference to her past un- kindness, and she declares she dearly loved her husband after all. At length he throws off his disguise, and the result can be imagined. Josephine rushes to her husband's arms and em- braces him, and cordially welcomes Phillipeau and his wife. Anatole Latour also arrives from the- war, and is soon accepted by Elise as her Husband to Order." The Baron de Beaupre is well pleased. at the turn of affairs all round, for his estates would now be fully restored to him. The imper- sonation of the Baron de Beaupre was excellently sustained by Mr D. McCallum, and he again created much laughter amongst the audience. As Adolph Marceau, Mr Wallace Davies showed up splendidly, and there was no fault to find with his acting, especially in the first act. Josephine was credit- ably represented by Miss Welch, and though she took the most difficult part of the piece, she did so in a manner deserving much praise. Miss Rowlands also faithfully and with sweetness and vivacity fulfilled the duties devolving upon her as Elise, and in every detail she successfully produced the essential effects. The Soldier to Order," by Mr E. Percy Haigh, was likewise performed admirably, his pourtrayal throughout being fully up to life." The characters of Phillipeau and his wife were, of course, acted without a fault,. the histrionic abilities of Mr and Mrs Stewart being already well-known. A word of praise is also due to Mr R. Treharne Rees, as the servant,. for though only taking a minor part that even- ing Mr Rees did it well. The performances, therefore, were a decided success, and we hope the members of the Cadoxton-Barry Histrionic Society will soon b3 seen on the boards again.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR J. STUART CORBETT, J.P. The funeral of Mr J. Stuart Corbett, J.P chairman of the Penarth magistrates and agent of the Marquess of Bute, took place on Friday after- noon last, at Llandough Churchyard. Notwith- standing the inclement state of the weather, there was an exceptionally large attendance of the public, those present including clergy, magistrates, professional men, merchants, &c., of Cardiff and a large district round, all uniting to testify to the high degree of esteem and affectionate regard in which the venerable gentleman was held by the community generally for fully half a cencury past. Amongst those who were present or sent their carriages were :-Sir William Thomas Lewis. chief representative of the Marquess of Bute his Worship the Mayor of Carr" (Councillor Trounce); Major Thornley, J.P. arth: the Rev L.

The mournful procession was headed by nearly fifty members of the county constabulary^ under the command of Captain Lionel Lindsay, the chief constable, and Mr Superintendent D. Wake, D.C.C., the officers present being Inspector E. Rees. Barry Dock, and Rutter, Penarth Sergeants Weeks, Barry; Shaddock. Penarth; Stanfield, Llandaff; and Canton, St. Nicholas. Lord Bute, we understand, was detained in Scotland, and was, therefore, unavoidably prevented from attending the funeral of his revered kinsman. As the solemn cortege wended its way towards the burying place the bell of the old Parish Church tolled mourn- fully, and amongst the poor villagers who assem- bled in the churuhyard scarcely a dry eye could be seen, a fact which testified to the deep regard entertained of the deceased gentleman by his neighbours. The chief mourners at the funeral were Mr J. S. Corbett and Mr E. W. M. Corbett,. sons of the deceased; Miss Corbett, daughter Mrs J. S. Corbett, Pwllypant, and the Misses Corbett (2), daughter-in-law and nieces; Mr W. S. Corbett and Mr C. M. Berkeley (nephews) and Mrs Berkeley and Mr W. Ware. The lid of the coffin was bedecked with memorial wreaths of different designs, and of the choicest and most artistic description, those in addition to the mem- bers of the family being sent by the directors of the Park Hall, Cardiff, of whom the late Mr Corbett was chairman Mrs Hunt, manageress of the Park Hotel; Mr and Mrs Spencer, Llandaff; Mr and Mrs C. Spencer, Mr and Mrs R. E. Spencer,. Newcasble-on-Tyne Mr and Mrs C. Evans, Mrs C. M. Berkeley, Mrs Ormsby, Huthwaite, Yorkshire Mrs Neville, &c. The remains of the lamented gentleman were enclosed in an English oak pannelled coffin, with raised top and massive brass furniture, encased in an elm shell, and were car- ried from the deceased's residence to the church- yard in a glass hearse drawn by four horses. The- brass plate on the lid of the coffin bore the follow- ing insoription JOHN STUART CORBETT, Born 17th Nov., 1816, Died 30th Jan., 1894. The funeral arrangements were efficiently car- ried out jointly by Mr James Howell, J.P. (Messrs Howell and Company, St. Mary-street), and Messrs Stone Brothers, undertakers, Working-street,. Cardiff. The bearers, selected from amongst the oldest servants on the Bute Estate, were Messrs E. Reynolds, W. R. Williams, R. Templeton, W. Mullen, J. David, J. Thomas, C. Hicks, and E. Jones. The grave, situate in the slope on the north side of the Parish Church, had been taste- fully inlaid with moss and floral wreaths and crosses, these decorations being executed under the personal supervision of Mr Pettigrew, head- gardener at Cardiff Castle. The Rev F. E. Williams, M.A., curate of Holy Nativity Church. Cogan (in the progress of which new cause Mr Corbett took the deepest possible interest, and was one of the most generous supporters and subscribers towards the building fund), and the Rev W. David, M.A., St. Fagan's, were the officiating ministers, the farmer at the church, and the latter at the grave. Miss Jenner, Wenvoe, would have been present, but was prevented by indisposition. CARDIFF GUARDIANS AND PENARTH MAGISTRATES- AND THE LATE MR. CORBETT. At the weekly meeting of Cardiff Board of Guardians on Saturday afternoon last. Mr O. H. Jones, who presided, referred to the death of the late Mr J. S. Corbett. In the course of his obser- vations he said Mr Corbett had been a member of the board for 48 years, and rendered very great services on the assessment committee. They all very much regretted the death of Mr Corbett, and he would propose that there be entered on the minutes an expression of their sorrow and a vote of condolence with Mrs Corbett and family.- Mr H. Lewis seconded the proposition, which was agreed to. Before the commencement of business at Fenarth Police-court on Monday last, touching references were made by a full bench and other gentlemen present to the great loss sustained by the death of the esteemed chairman of the court, and a vote of condolence with the family was passed.
