VARIORUM. *■ The Duke of Bedford has forwarded to Mrs. Glad- stone a donation of JE500 towards the fund for the Convalescent Homes. Captain Welby Pugin has been chosen a member of the Council of the National Artillery Association of Great Britain. A great review of the volunteers of the Midland Counties is fixed for the 29th of July, and it is ex- pected to take place at Cannock Chase. Large quantities of French potatoes are now im- ported into Southampton. They have been fetching seven guineas per ton. The Liverpool Guardians expended last year £170,000 for the support of the poor. Of this great amount, £100,000 was spent upon lunatics and indoor paupers. The Bishop of Manchester laid the foundation of a new parish church in Bolton on Saturday, amidst a great concourse of people. A local gentleman gives £30,000 to the object. The Church News believes that the Dean of Norwich has consented to allow the anniversary service of the Norwich Branch of the English Church Union to be held in the Cathedral. The Bishop of Gibraltar, who has resigned his see on account of the climate not agreeing with Mrs. Trowcr's health, has left Malta for Corfu, on his way to England, via Ancona. It is asserted that Dr. Colenso, having been informed that no invitation from the Archbishop of Canterbury will be sent to him, has expressed his intention of com- ing over to England to claim a place in the General Anglican Council of next September. A new stone pulpit has been brought into use in Ely Cathedral. The restoration of the great western entrance has been commenced. Dean Goodwin, it will be seen, is worthily continuing the work so well begun by Dean Peacocke. A new church, dedicated to St. Matthew, which has been erected in one of the poorest districts of Leicester, was consecrated by the Bishop of Peterborough on Wednesday. Mr. Gilbert Scott is the architect. The church contains about a thousand free sittings. The Rev. Canen Brooke, examining chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester, has been elected to the vicarage of Holy Trinity, Hull, vacant by the resigna- tion of the Rev. J. H. Bromby, M.A., who held the living for upwards of sixty years. At a mecing of the Kincardine O'Neil Presbytery the the other day, a call was laid on the table from the parish of Craitbie to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, Montrose. Amongst the signatures to the call was that of Dr. Robertson, on behalf of the Queen. The call was sustained.—Edinburgh Courant. Mr. John Henderson, of Park, died on Wednesday week at the family residence in Renfrewshire, at the age of 85 years. Mr. Henderson, who was one of the largest East India merchants in London, is said to have given away between £30,000 and jE40,000 a year for religions and beneficent objects. A pastoral from the Bishop of London will be read, and collections made in most of the churches of the diocese on Rogation Sunday. On the following day, Monday, May 27. there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion at St. James's, Piccadilly, at 12 o'clock, when the Bishop will deliver an address. The Rev. Professor Plumtre resumed his addresses as Boyle Lecturer at the Chapel Royal. Whitehall, on Sunday afternoon. The subject treated in the lectures this year may be summed up under the title of Chris- tianity and the Creeds." The Cambridge Independent reports at length the marriage of Mr. Henry Fawcett, the member for Brighton, with Miss Millicent Garrett, the daughter of Mr. Newson Garrett, of Aldeburgh, in Suffolk. Among the presents was a massive and costly repeating chro- nometer, which was given to Professor Fawcett by the resident fellows of Cambridge University. The Liverpool Corporation have purchased from the Earl of Sefton 360 acres of land to form a new park. They invited landscape gardeners and others to send in designs, and on Wednesday the first premium of 300 guineas, for the designs for the park, was awarded to Messrs. E. Andre and L. Hornblower, of Paris and Liverpool; and the second, of 150 guineas, to Mr. Edward Milner, of Sydenham. The foundation-stone of the Honolulu Cathedral was to be laid on Shrove Tuesday by his Majesty King Kamehameha V. The cathedral will be dedicated to St. Andrew the late King, to whose memory it is to be built, having died on that Festival, the anniversary of his first Communion. During Easter recess the Ladies' Gallery in the House of Commons, over the Speaker's chair, has been ren- dered more comfortable, and by the removal of some unwieldy benches eight-and-twenty additional visitors can be secured accommodation. Neat softly-cushioned, chairs of artistic design have been substituted for tho primitive oaken benches. It is not often that a living remains in a single family for a century. But this long limit was exceeded in the family of the late Rev. John Dudley, of Sileby, Leices- tershire, who died in 1856, whose father and grand- father were vicars before him. The grandfather was in- ducted in the first year of George 1. the father in the first year of George III.; and the grandson in 1794. They therefore enjoyed the incumbency for no less than 162 years. Has this term ever been exceeded ? The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company on Tuesday introduced a new scale of fares for pas- sengers on their metropolitan extension lines. In some cases the rise was as much as 50 per cent. No notice had been given of the increase, and a good deal of grumbling was the result. At present no alteration has been made in the rates for season tickets. The Hon. and Rev. Sir John Dymoke, Bart., Here- ditary Champion of England, has instituted the Rev. Henry Spurrier, B.A., to the rectory of Roughton with Haltham, worth £700 a year, with a house; and the Rev. Samuel Lodge, M.A., to the rectory of Scrivelsby, worth jE800 a year. Mr. Spurrier is well known in Lincolnshire, as the curate of Folkingham who, in the face of great difficulties, was mainly instrumental in re- storing the fine old church of that parish to its original beauty. Mr. Lodge has been for several years the de- servedly popular head master of Horncastle Grammar- school. On Wednesday the ceremony of cutting the first sod of a large new reservoir, in connection with the Halifax Waterworks, took place at Mixenden. The reservoir will hold about 100,000,000 gallons, and will be a sup- plementary and storage reservoir to the large one at Ogden. The cost of the new one will be about £20,000.. This is the last reservoir of the scheme which the cor- poration has parliamentary power to make, and upon which the town has expended, or will expend, several hundred thousand pounds. The engine-drivers are threatening retaliation for their defeat by the North Eastern Company. A meet- ing was held in Derby on Sunday, attended, it is stated, by a thousand men belonging to the union, and it was resolved to recommend the union to call out all its adherents upon six of the principal railways in the north of England, including the Great Northern, North Western, Lancashire and Yorkshira, and the Midland. The question will be decided at a general meeting of delegates, to be held in London. CRABS IN THE FOURTH,—The past week has been memorable in the annals of the fishermen at Dunbar, from the enormous quantity of crabs which have been caught and despatched to the southern markets. In the first part of the week the takes averaged from 50 to 70 dozens, which was considered very high. By the middle of the week they had run up to 100 dozens, and on Friday last every boat was entering the harbour loaded to the gunwale, several of them computing their catch at from 150 to 200 dozens. Throughout the whole of the week, indeed, the harbour-head has been ns busy as it generally is during the herring fishing, and carts and machines of all kinds have been engaged in conveying the fish to the station. The crabs have been got a short way off, and in close proximity to the rocks, and it is supposed that the fishermen must have fallen in with a breeding bed. As there are from 20 to 30 boats engaged at the fishing, the gross catch during the week must have been something enormous. At the present selling price of Is. 3d. per dozen many of the boats—the most of them with a crew of three men—must have been making from d66 to £10 a day. Should the fishing which generally lasts the whole of the ensuing month, turn out anything nearly what it promises at present, the speculation will prove a profitable one to the fishermen.—Edinburgh Courant. MACKEKE*—The stormy weather has greatly inter- terfered with the Cornish mackerel fishery during the past ten days; nevertheless the catches have been quite equal to fifty tons. London has had the larger portion of this supply. Prices have varied greatly, one day ranging from 22s. to 28s. per 120, and another from 30s. to 34s. COPYRIGHT.—The cases of Maxwell v. Hogg and Hogg v. Maxwell (cross suits), which we have before noticed, have HOW been finally disposed of by the Lords Justices,-who have decided that by registration under the statute 5 and 6 Vict., c, 45, copyright cannot be ac- quired in a mere title of a. work. The exclusive right to use a fancy name as the title of a publication, con- sidered as a species of trademark, cannot be acquired by public advertisement of an intention to use that name as the title of a publication, or by expenditure of money in the preparation of that publication, or by both com- bined, in the absence of any actual publication. In order to acquire such an exclusive right, something must be given to the public in exchange for that exclusive right. DEATH OF MAJOR CORNWALLIS. — The death of Ficnnes Cornwallis, late major in tbe 4th Light Dra- goons, second son of Mr. Charles Wykcham Martin, M.P., and Lady Jemima Wykcham Martin, daughter of the fifth Earl of Cornwallis, took place at Chacombe Priory, on the 23rd April, in the 35th year of his age, The deceased gentleman, who was educated at Eton, joined the 4th Light Dragoons in 1850, and was gazetted lieutenant in 1854, captain in 1855, and major in 1860. He served with the army in the Crimea, and was present at the battle of the Alma as acting adju- tant. He was one of the gallant six hundred who rode into the valley of death at Balaclava; and at Inkerman he was for some time under a heavy fire. He became aide-de-camp to Lord George Paget, and re- mained in the Crimea until the last of the light cavalry were embarked. He married the daughter of Mr. John Mott, of Barningham Hall, Norfolk, and has left two sons and a daughter. His death was occasioned by a fall whilst hunting, his horse having cither kicked or trodden on him, which injuries caused congestion of the brain.

rF FOKEIGN NOTES. The King of the Hellenes is in Paris. The title under which King George of Greece travels incognito is that of the Marquis of Sparta. An Alsatian manufacturer, M. Kochlin, has offered to establish at his own expense a volunteer corps of 500 men in case of a war with Prussia. Mrs. H. B. Stowe has purchased an estate in the State of Florida, where she intends to reside. The ice on the Neva began to break on the 6th inst. The opening of navigation is fixed for the 14th inst. The circulation of the Danish papers, Aarhus Stiftstidende and Faedrelandet, in Slcswick-Holstein, has been forbidden by the Prussian authorities. The girdle of detached forts which is to surronnd Cracow is fast approaching completion. A strong feeling in favour of neutrality in case of European war is reported to be the prevalent feeling in Italy. The Emperor of Mexico has presented the Crown Prince of Prussia with the order of the Mexican Eagle. The Grand Duke Constantine will, it is said, shortly take the command of the Russian army in Bessarabia. In Canada there are 73 gold mines, employing 708 miners. The yield of gold for the last three months is valued at £138,191. The elections at Alessandria, Savona, Sala, Vittorio, Acqui, and Bassano have resulted in the return of Signori Ratazzi, Pescetto, Ferrara, Berti, Chiaves, and Broglio respectively. Nothing has come of the letter of President Johnson to the Pope, so that the Holy/See is still estranged from the United States, and Mr. Rufus King continues under recall for the 30th of June. The Prussian fleet now consists of the following vessels :—Two ironclads and eight corvettes, mounting together 174 guns ;.two avisos, with six guns thirteen gunboats, with 54; and a number of sailing vessels, with 218 guns. Prince Charles Theodore of Bavaria, brother of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, has just taken holy orders. Grief at the loss of his wife is said to have led to that determination. The Liberte mentions that the Queen of Spain has been selling almost all her jewels in London, and that a single diamond watchchain has found a purchaser at the price of £24,OtJO. The New York Herald states that within a few years past thirty-five churches have been burnt down within fourteen miles of Boston, Massachusetts. A journal of Pomerania annonnces that Count de Bismarck recently purchased for £82,500 the domain of Barzin, situated in the circle of Schlaw, and composed of five large estates. It is stated that four Japanese appeared at Dover on Monday as Volunteers in the ranks of the Artists Volunteers. They are students in the London Uni- versity, and harve been out several times—once at the Harrow fight. They appeared thoroughly to enjoy the day. The Europe of Frankfort mentions that the town of Luxemburg has been besieged fourteen times, taken eight times, bombarded three times, and has changed masters three times in consequence of treaties. The nomination by the New York Herald of Generals Grant and Lee for President and Vice-President in the next general election is believed by many Radicals in the United States to indicate the ticket on which the Democrats will stand. An imperial decree has just been issued re-establish- ing "the Hungarian body-guard." This corps consists of thirty-two guards, all of whom areHungarian nobles. The captain of the guard will, it is said, be Genera Count Haller. According to the new Dutch navy organization law, twelve new screw corvettes, with sixteen guns each, ten ironclads, each carrying two 300 pounders, and fourteen monitors, are to be added to the Dutch uavy. 94,000 Snider rifles have also been ordered for the Dutch army. The Moniteur announces that the subscriptions to assist French workmen to visit and study the Paris Exhibition already exceed 4,000l. The Society of Arts have started a subscription with 100 guineas to assist British workmen in like manner, and desire to receive subscriptions. The bands of brigands who have been ravaging the Roman States refuse to capitulate, and have rejected an offer of a free passage to Algeria. The Pontifical and Italian troops will now commence those operations against them which have been too much talked of and too long delayed. The Emperor of Russia received the deputation from Turkestan in the golden saloon of the Winter Palace on the 7th inst. The deputation presented him with an address and specimens of the production of the country, and bis Majesty, after conversing with several of his visitors, dismissed them with costly presents. It is believed in the United States that the recent Act of Congress on the wearing of court dresses was aimed at Mr. Adams, who wears on State occasions a dress of blue and gold, which was designed by his father while Secretary of State under President Munroe. March 4, 1861, the national debt of the United States was 66,180,834 dollars March 1, 1867, it was 2,530,763,889 dollars. The highest it has ever been was on the 31st of August, 1865 it was 2,757,781,189 dollars. The New York papers announce the death of Mr. Cyrus Field's father, the Rev. David D. Field, D.D., for many years pastor of the Congregational Church at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, which took place suddenly at his residenoe on the 16th inst. The rev. gentleman was eighty-six years of age. Bordeaux is at the present moment suffering from a plague of caterpillars, which penetrate even mto the houses and apartments. What is singular is, that the country districts around the city were never so free from these insects as at this moment. The San Francisco advices state that continuous ship- ments of grain were taking place to England and else- where. According to a telegram of the 9th nit., the ship Chieftain, for Cork, sailed on that day with 38,500 sacks of wheat, together with the Alice Ball, for Liver- pool, with 31,000 sacks. At the same time, 5,700 bar- rels of flour were cleared for Rio de Janeiro. The prospects of impeaching President Johnson have been considerably weakened by the fact that, in recon- stituting the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Speaker Colfax has placed two Democrats—Messrs. Marshall and Eld- ridge—upon it, and upon the resignation of Mr. Cook, of Illinois (Radical), appointed in his place Mr. C jurchill, of New York, who is well known as a Con- servative Republican." The Organe de Hons says:— It has been stated that the jewels presented by the Count de Flandre to the Princess Marie, now his wife, were of the value of 600,000 francs. That is an error, as they are estimated at upwards of a million and a-half. The precious stones of which they are composed formed part of the jewels of the Princess Charlotte, the first wife of Leopold I., the latter having bequeathed them to the Count de Flandre. Sixteen workmen were occupied seven weeks in resetting the whole. The Semaphore of Marseilles announces that the English fleet in the Mediterranean, comprising the five ironclads, Prince Consort, Ocean, Royal Oak, Resist- ance, Enterprise, and the steamer Victoria, hoisting the Admiral's flag, will go to Toulon in the early part of this month. During its stay at that port the officers on board will be allowed to visit, in their turn, the Paris Exhibition. An American paper says that New York has become the third German city in the world; nearly 50,000 Germans land there annually. The president of a German life assurance company there gave a German dinner to fifty German New York agents of the com- pany. In that city there are German meerschaum manufactories, breweries, lager beer saloons, churches, schools, newspapers, book stores, theatres, balls and masquerades, and musical societies. The orchestra of every New York theatre is largely composed of German musicians. If the project for the annexation of Luxemburg to France has failed, the French have escaped one or two minor trials thereby. For example. there are in the canton of Diekirch three rather picturesque villages, the names of which arc, respectively, Schlindermandcrs- cheid, Oberschlindermandcrschcid, andNederschlinders- cheid. The French have already turned Schlesdadt into Celestat, but they could never have hoped to struggle successfully with Nederschlindermanderscheid. A correspondent of a New York paper says Oneaha is to be the new Chicago of the West. It will be the next great city between Chicago and San Francisco. Before many years it will have a population of 100,000. In one large brick block I noticed a bank, two printing-offices, three theatres, a billiard room, a lager beer establishment, a keno table and faro bank, seven wholesale and retail stores, barbers' shops, and eating-houses, besides lawyers' offices two daily news- papers are published here." AN odd development of the practice of strikes has just occurred at Can-house Colliery, near Rothcrham. This time it is not the men who have struck against the masters, but the boys who have struck against the men. A fine had been imposed on several of the lads for breaking lamps, which they deemed unjust; the rest of the boys, forty in number, made common cause with their comrades, and refused to go down the pit unless the fines were remitted. The result was that the work- ing of the pit had to be suspended. The men who had gone down were obliged to return, and some 400 miners arc in consequence thrown out of work. Perhaps tho men may now discover that there may be two sides to the question of strikes, and may be enabled in some de- gree to enter into the feelings of the masters. At No. 18, Clifford-street, Bond-street, a committee of ladies have set up one of those experiments in trade at which your practical men are apt to shrug the shoulder and raise the cynical smile. It is a model milliner's workshop, in which the common evils of overcrowding and overworking have been put away. The working girls appear to be neat, clean, and healthy looking; they toil for ten hours a day they have good food provided for them at fixed and regular hours they have their singing-classes, their occasional concerts, and their times of outing. In the general arrangements of the model there is nothing fantastical; no poetic and impossible finery; nothing out of keeping with the general object kept in view. The kitchen is light and clean, and the dormitories are airy, neat, and proper. The ladies who give their money, time, and influence to this experiment, hope before all things to show that decent rooms, light labour, and moderate hours of work, will pay as well as the methods now in vogue in many establishments at the West End. Those of our readers who feel an interest in this branch of the Woman Question should call at Clifford-street and see the evidence of order, taste and industry there evoked.

REFORM MEETING AT ABERDARE. I A meeting in the interest of Parliamentary Reform was held in the Music Hall, Aberdare, on Tuesday evening. The time announced for the meeting to commence was seven o'clock, but that proving too early, the chair was not taken until half-past eight, when Mr. P. John was voted to it. Amongst those supporting the Chairman on the right and left, we noticed the Rev. T. A. Pryce, Rev. J. Georga, Rev. Dr. Price, Rev. Mr. Williams, Abercwmboy, and Mr. Hugh Pritchard. The Chairman called upon Mr. George to read the fol. lowing notice:—: The demand for a comprehensive measure of Parliamentary Reform is to be heard on all sides. But no measure yet proposed, either by the present or by any past government, has been ac- cepted by the people as satisfactory. Especially have the people of the Principality cause for dissatisfaction. Wales, emphatically the land of Dissent and Nonconformity, has not a single Noncon- formist Member in the House of Commons. Such a state of things every liQnest Dissenter ought to regret, and do all in his power to remove. In the opinion of some of' the leading Dissenters of Aberdare, the time has come for forming a society to sow the seeds of political Nonconformity, and labour to improve the repre- sentation of Wales in the House of Commons. To consider and adopt some mode of action to promote the political interests of Dissenters, a meeting will be held in the Music Hall, Bute-street, Aberdare, on Tuesday, the 7th of May, 1867, at seven o'clock, when your presence and counsel are respectfully solicited. This being done, the Chairman said when he came here he had no idea whatever of occupying the honourable posi- tion he found himself in. They had heard the circular read, and therefore they very well knew the object of the meeting. Those of us who watch the movements of society, and have the interests of society at heart, have talked the matter over and are convinced of the fact that the principality of Wales was not represented, but misrepresented, in the House of Com- mons. The Principality is composed to a large extent of Nonconformists, and among the thirty-two so-called re- presentatives for Wales, we have not a single Noncon- formist representing this large majority of the population. This matter had been talked of, but nothing had been en- deavoured to be done until a recent date, when in 1866 a Liberal member was required for Brecon. On that occasion one of our townsmen—the first who had ever shown the necessary pluck—contested the borough with the object of representing instead of misrepresenting it in Parliament. (Hear, hear). By adverse influences that gentleman was beaten, still by the mere attempt he had done much good, and its influence would not only prove beneticial there but elsewhere. This preliminary meeting was held in conse- quence of what dropped from Dr. Price at a recent meeting held in this room, when some small present was ottered him to show him our respect, and our appreciation of his services. (Hear, hear). Dr. Price then said he thought something could be done to rescue not only Brecon, but other Counties and Boroughs in the Principality and he then proposed that a society should be established—not to be called the" Aberdare Society—but a Society, the rami- fications of which should extend all through North and Couth Wales. The object of this Society should be to watch and act, and endeavour to prevent the Counties and Boroughs of the Principality from being misrepresented as they now are. (Cheers). They were here to-night to con- sider the question, and to enter into some resolutions which would he a starting point for the movement that he hoped would reach through the length and breadth of Wales. The large majority of those who now are on the list of electors, and have their votes, are not represented in the House of Commons. He was indebted to Dr. Price for the following figures, which showed the number of population in the Counties and the number of the electors- Population Eltrs I Population Kltrs Glamorgan 317,752.6759 Cardigan 72,245..3520 Swansea 57,430. 1904 Borough 11,64(5.. 6S0 Cardiff. 35,541. 968 Montgomery R.

(Cheers.) The Rev. T. A. Pryce rose to move the following reso- lution :— That this meeting, while fully believing in the necessity for a large and comprehensive measure of Reform for the United Kingdom, considers that Wales stands in a peculiar position as to its relation to the British Parliament. A country pre-eminently Nonconformist in principle, being entirely represented by gentlemen who are professedly members of the Established Church of this country and, therefore, cannot fairly represent the feelings and views of the great majority of the electors of the Principality." We were not here to-night to make brilliant or long speeches, even if capable of doing so, but merely to show our sympathy with Reform. Some persons thought it beneath the position of a minister to take an interest in political affairs, that the rights of citizenship are lost in the ministry. Nothing of the kind. Ministers should take an interest in whatever concerns humanity—for whatever con- cerns humanity concerns us. (Applause). We cannot stand apart from our fellow man we are all branches of the same tree; all stones of the same building, and what- ever concerns our fellow man concerns us, whether the subject be political or religious. (Hear. hear.) He was here to-night to show his sympathy with the object of this meeting, which is to throw out some suggestions, or adopt some method or rule, whereby we can have Wales properly represented in the House of Commons. They would per- ceive from the figures that had been read them by the chairman that Wales is very badly represented—that the very great majority are unrepresented; it was only the minority that obtained representation. Now, we want to do something to alter this state of affairs. He did not complain of our member, the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce he believed him to be an honest man, and held his views honestly. Still, Nonconformity being the predominating religious element in tbis county, we should ue represented in the House of Commons by Nonconformists. Mr. Thomas Evans briefly seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. The Rev. Dr. Price, who was received with loud cheers, said he came there to-night to meet a few friends in order to see if they could not commence a movement that would tell with some effect upon the constituencies of Wales. Undoubtedly this was a work of time. We are at present in a transition state, and, whatever became of the Reform Bill before the House of Commons, it will be necessary to revise the registers throughout the country, and the only party he could conceive that would be benefitted by this act of purgation would be the lawyers, who would reap a rich harvest indeed. (Laughter.) He begged to move :— That the time has come when decided steps should be taken by the electors of the principality to remove the stigma now resting upon them as men, as citizens, and especially as Nonconformists and this meeting has heard with heartfelt pleasure and deep gratitude of the steps now being taken to correct the registration of the Counties and Boroughs of South Wales, and this meeting pledges itself either to join such a movement, or to organize a separate society for .the purpose of purging the register in all the Welsh constituencies, with the ultimate view of contesting the same on Liberal and Nonconformist principles." This resolution required a little explanation, and was all he should submit to them at present. Since he threw out the hint a few nights ago—as referred to by a previous speaker—he had heard of a movement which he considered would exercise a large amount of influence on the represen- tation of the Principality for the future. He would tell them a fact not generally known yet, and in so doing, he would be venturing upon the borders of making public that which perhaps ought not to be made public quite so soon—that there is a movement set on foot by gentlemen of position, gentlemen of influence, gentlemen of integrity, and gentlemen also of determination, to carry out the prin- ciple of purging the registers of South Wales; and these gentlemen reside in London. He knew a gentleman from Swansea was in London to-night, concerting measures for taking up the matter so far as the counties of Brecon, Car- marthen, Cardigan, Pembroke, and the county and borough of Monmouth—were concerned. With rest e^t to Glamor- gan, we could leave that to the Liberal association. He thought that the register of Glamorgan was in such a com- plete state, that some of us who had paid great attention to the subject for some years, could put their fingers upon the register and tell, in case of a contested election, which way each man would vote. (Hear, hear.) One of the gentlemen connected with the movement referred to has guaranteed JE1,500 towards expenses, if the matter would betaken up by the people of Wales themselves. The gentleman is one of our merchant princes, a man exceedingly rich, who is as noble as he is rich, and who possesses the inflexible and unyielding determination which enables him not to withdraw after having put his hand ta the plough. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The second gentleman was pre- eminently a Welshman his heart was in the country, and he is ail much a Welshman now as he was on the day he was born. (Laughter.) The third was the gentleman from Swansea, he had before referred to. [The names of these gentlemen transpired at the meeting, but the gentle- men of the press were requested not to publish them at present.] He could guarantee the result if some gentlemen in South Wales would come forward and back up the offer made by these gentlemen. This move- ment will make itself generally felt. When it was fully organised, we should be only too glad to lose ourselves in the larger sea that will be thrown up, wave after wave, until we succeed in our object. (Applause.) He would now tell them alsa another project—with which, perhaps, most of them migW be acquainted—that they had determined to buy up the Cambria Daily Leader, and they had entered into an agreement which will be closed, or thrown aside, at the end of five or six weeks. He had no doubt but that the paper would be purchased. A capital of £5,000 is sub- scribed, with the intention of making it a first class daily paper; it is to be conducted so as to give no uncertain sound it will be liberal in politics and Nonconformist so far as religion goes, and will be open for fair, honest, manly discussion on all topics of the day. If they had the paper a board of directors would be formed of gentlemen from the counties of Monmouth, Glamorgan, Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Brecon. So they saw the movement was a serious one, and would result in our having an organ in South Wales to help us in rescuing Welsh con- stituencies from the hands into which they have fallen, and in which they are kept. Again referring to purging the registers the Rev. gentleman said that some fifteen years since, when a revision of the registers took place, he might say that in Glamorgan, Brecon, Carmarthen and Pembroke, about one-fifth of the names on the registers ought not to have been there. "Faggot" votes, and "rotten'' votes swelled the number, and ought not to have been there; and he wanted the registers purged again and all these rotton votes struck off. This system of purgation would con- siderably help the object they had in view, which was to send men to contest certain constituencies whenever they had the chance; they would be prepared at the next elec- tion to contest the County and Borough of Monmouth, of Usk and the Borough of Newport. They need not trouble about Brecon, as they could come to a compromise with the houses of Camden and Tredegar, who, if they wanted to keep the County, l nust gi ve u p the Borough. (Applause.) They would fight in Carmarthanshire, and the time was not long distant when they would be prepared to contest Pembroke- shire and Montgomeryshire, in which latter County they would either make the M.P. a better man than he is or else get him ousted. (Cheers and laughter). They would, too, go to the County of Denbigh, the stronghold of the great Sir Watkin W. Wynne, and at all events they were deter- mined to divide the interest with him there. It would be a glorious affair certainly if, we could get some half-a-dozen seats in eight or ten years. First, then, they would have to get the register fairly mastered, and then find the proper men to represent the constituencies. He felt certain we should soon have a better representation of Wales in the House of Commons than we ever had. With respect to the Reform Measure now before the House of Comflions he thought it would be an Advantage if it were passed, es- pecially since the residential qualification had been reduced to one year, and since an understanding has been come to between the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Attorney General, and the other parties, that a Lodger Franchise should be incorporated. In conclusion he thought we should pledge ourselves to fall in with the movement that is set on foot by those gentlemen or, if not satisfied with that a society should be established to endeavour to enlist the sympathies of North and South Wales in their object, and try to make an advantageous change in the representa- tion of Wales. (Hear, hear, and cheers). Mr. Pugh seconded the motion. Mr. Watkins, a working man, supported the resolution. He was quite in favour of the proposed association. He was a compound house1 older, but whatever might be either the trouble or expensa he should go to it to be put upon the register, and usj it to the best of his ability to push forward the class of men amongst whom he lived. He would like to see more constituencies in South Wales. He would like to see Aberdare have a member of its own and by the assistance of this association it might be done in time. Mr. Samuel Morgan su pported the resolution in Welsh. He referred to the system of putting the screw on to force men to vote one way or the other. For his own part, he would have now been a guard on the Swansea Valley Railway had he voted with the Tories. He advocated the ballot. The resolution was then put and unanimously carried. The Rev. Mr. Williams, Abercwmboy, moved :— That a committee be now formed for the purpose of opening a communication on the subject with the leading men of the Principality, or to draw up a code of rules tor the organisation of a separate society as they may deem most suitable, according to the best of their judgment, j such committee to submit their plans of operation for the I approval and sanction, alteration or amendment, of a future public meeting, to be called by such committee, and that the following gentlemen be kindly asked to act on such committee, with power to add to their number :— Dr. Price, Mr. John Jones, druggist, Mr. R. W. Rhys, Rvs. T. A. Pryce, J. E. George, D. M. Jenkins, Messrs. William Morgan, Owen Rees, William Parker, Thomas Hopkin, Philip John, Thomas H. Evans, J. T. Jones, Theophilus Lines Jones, David Jones, butcher, John Griffiths, Mountain Ash, David Davis, Blaengwawr, Edmund D. Howell, Revs. Win. Edwards, Thomas John, and David Price, Messrs. John Williams, London Ware- house, William Williams, Stag, John Johns, EvanThomas, and the Rev. T. T. Jones." They had heard the objects of this meeting from the pre- vious speakers. He submitted the resolution he had just read and hoped it would be passed. Mr. Hugh Pritchard seconded the motion. He was in favour of voting by ballot, and would like to have a a clause to that effect inserted in the first resolution. So long as masters were able to put the screw on their men, so long was there a need for the protection the ballot afforded. With reference to Mr. Bruce, he would never give him satisfaction so long as he opposed the ballot. He had no objection to the right hon. gentleman holding those views, but so long as he did hold them he would not pro- perly represent the people of Aberdare. The motion was carried. The Rev. J. J. George moved- That this meeting tenders to the Right Hon. H. E. Gladstone its heartfelt thanks for his great services to the Liberal cause, and would express its perfect confidence in him as the leader of the true and honest among the Liberals now in the House of Commons; and the meeting would also tender its thanks to the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce. M.P., for the manner in which he had served the cause of Reform by his recent votes in Parliament, and the meeting expresses its confidence in him as the representative of this borough." Referring to Mr. Gladstone, he thought he had been badly treated by Liberal members, as well as by the Government. He could not say he Mr. Gladstone was exactly the man he liked he did not go far enough still he believed him honest. He did not like to go further than a £5 rating fianchise. His education, and the social sphere in which he moved, gave him prejudices he could not over- come. He stigmatised as a lure the household suffrage of the Tory Government, and thought an appeal to the country the best thing that could be adopted. He believed Mr. Bruce honest, but he could not properly sympathise with the working man. He knew nothing of their real wants. He also objected to the right hon. gentleman's conscience clause in his Educational Bill now before Parliament. Mr. A. Dance seconded the motion. He believed in Mr. Gladstone. He liked Mr. Bruce he voted for him once, and it was the first time he voted in his life time. He did not like voting by ballot. When the working men would hold up their heads and say I vote for whom I like," then we should have a glorious army of working men. (Hear, hear.) Resolution carried. The Rev. Dr. Price moved that Messrs. Pryce and George be the conveners of the next committee meeting on the first opportunity. 0 Seconded by Mr. Dance, and carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings about ten o'clock. MERTHYR POLICE COURT. SATURDAY.—(Before J. C. Fowler, Esq.) THE THREE GRACES. Ellen Hurley and Mary Dacey, two young women, were summoned by Mary Mohan for assaulting her. Complainant gave her evidence quite ex cathedra for about a quarter of an hour; and so far as we were able to make the affair out the complainant entertained some sus- picions that the sisters exercised some charm on the affections of her dear boy about twenty years of age, who took all his money to the sisters instead of bringing it to her. The defendants turned the tables upon complainant by stating that she unduly provoked them by calling them the most slanderous names. Fanny Hannagoam, who was summoned its a witness by complainant, gave her evidence in favour of defendants. The Bench informed complainant that the law was not made for such a woman as she was; one who provoked de- fendants by using the most abusive and slanderous language. Case dismissed. ASSAULT. William Jones, was brought up on remand from Wed- nesday last, charged with violently assaulting Mary Sweeney, on the 19th August. One witness on each side was called, who gave very con- tradictory evidence as to the nature of the assault, and the conduct of prosecutrix. Seregant Rees deposed to seeing the condition of Sweeney soon after the assault. She was almost insensible at the time she was ill and remained in bed for some weeks, and her eyes were closed for a considerable time. Mary Hydall, was summoned by Ann Howells for as- saulting her on Thursday week last. Complainant said defendant came into her shop—which is a china and greengrocer's shop at Dowlais-on the 25th April, with a stone in her hand, and asked her what she beat her child for, and struck her in the breast with the stone. Defendant denied having a stone in her hand. She went into the shop with a child about two years old in her arms, and asked her what she threw her (defendant's) child down. There was a cross-summons in this case, when Ann Hyde complained that Mrs. Howells threw down her child and pulled her down by the hair of her head. Mary Llewellyn gave her evidence as lucidly as mud, and from which but little could be gathered except that there was a row, a baby, and a great profusion of coarse Welsh. Did not see a stone in Mrs. Hyde's hand. The ladies kept up a brisk fire which reminded one of the theory of perpetual motion. The Bench broke the illusion, however, by fineing Mrs. Hyde 2s. and costs. MONDAY.— (Before J. C. Fowler and T. J. Evans, Esqrs. HAWKING WITHOUT A LICENSE. John Macdoiiald was charged with hawking, in Dowlais, without a license. Inspector Howlett deposed, that on Saturday, he saw the prisoner in Mow-street, Dowlais, he had a bundle with him, containing shawls, which he was offering for sale; saw him offer the shawls for sale to several persons.' Asked the pri- soner if the goods were his, and he replied they were. He said he had no license, and thought of going into the mar- ket. He also said, when he was in Brecon he had a license. The prisoner said he did not think there was any necessity for him to have a license—the shawls were not new. He would get a license. The Bench, taking into consideration that he had been locked up since Saturday, discharged him with a caution. EJIERALD GEMS. — Singleton was summoned by Catherine Gedys, for an assault. The complainant and defendant were two gems of the Isle of Erin, and on Thursday they had a bit of a row, which terminated with defendant throwing complainant down. Two witnesses, named Ann Lloyd and Margaret Thomas, were called, who deposed to seeing defendant strike com- plainant. The defendant gave a very excited account of the affair. She had had the bit of misfortune to go to jail, and com- plainant called her a robber, and other polite expressions, which so piqued defendant's amour propre, that she did "spake for herself." The Bench fined defendant 10s., and costs, or fourteen, days' imprisonment in default. TWO MORE GEMS OF THE SAME SORT. Mary Milligan was summoned by Ann Roach, for an assault. From the evidence, it appeared that the two parties were in a public-house, and in consequence of some gallantry on the part of one of the husbands, a row ensued, when defen- dant took hold of her Irish friend affectionately by the hair of the head, &c. Defendant said she committed the assault owing to com- plainant's husband having made dishonourable proposals to her. Complainant's husband struck her outside the house. Case dismissed. AFFILIATION. George Francis was summoned bv Ann Bevan, to show proper paternal affections for an infant, six weeks old. Defeddant did not appear, and P.C. 76 proved the ser- vice of the summons. Ordered to pay 2s. 6d. per week for the first 12 weeks since birth, and 2s. per week afterwards. STRIKING A PROSTITUTE. William Jtees, a lad about sixteen, Was charged with assaulting Mary Emmanuel, a prostitute. Mr. Lewis are peared sor the defence. Complainant deposed, that on Monday night she was walking down the Glebeland, and defendant met her, and gave her some orange. He followed her, and offered her 3d., which she refused and upon this he knocked her down in the gutter, and afterwards kicked her. This was between 10 and 11 o'clock on Monday night. Went to the Old Patriot, and then went home. Was not drunk. For the defence, it was alleged that complainant, endea- voured to pick his (defendant's) pocket, and he pushed her down in self defence. [Case adjourned till this day week for the production of certain witnesses. J Margaret Thomas, commonly called Welsh Blood," was charged by Edward Powell, labourer, with stealiag a quantity of provisions, on Saturday night. The prosecutor, who is an old man, deposed that he was in a shop, when prisoner canae in. He had a lot of pro- visions in a bag. Went outside, and prisoner disappeared with the bag of provisions. The prisoner said the prosecutor gave her the provisions, and promised to stay with her until Monday morning. He came down to the house with her; it was not the first time he bad been with her at the house. A witness being called, proved the case, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. MATRIMONIAL LOVE. Thomas Jones was summoned by Jana Jones, "flesh of bisHesh," for aspatilting her—striking her with a gutta- percha whip, and kicking her, on Saturday night and Sun- day morning, 27th and 28th April. In defence, Jones said-At 20 minutes past one o'clock on Sunday morning, he went out, and found his wife talking to some man in the road. He asked her what she was doing? She replied that she was out seeing what time it was. He then struck her arms and shoulders with a gutta-percha rule. She did not return home until late on Sunday mor- ning. On Tuesday, when he came home from work, he found all his household furniture cleared out, and his clothes all in pawn. The Bench considered the charge of assault proved, and fined defendant 20s., and costs. WEDNESDAY.-( Before J. C. Fowler, and T. J. Evans, I Esqrs.) CHARGE OF THEFT. Bridget and Mary Haunifan were charged with steal- ing 12s. (3d. the property of Jane Jones the previous day. Jane Jones deposed, that she came to Merthyr by the 11 o'clock train, from Brecon. She found the two prisoners in her house. They told her they were badly off, and had no place to go to where they could sleeep. Prosecutrix had 12s. 6d. in a box, half-a-sovereign and 2s- 6d. When she went out to^buyfood she took a 2s. piece from the box, and left the prisoner Mary in the house—the girl Bridget went up the street with her. Bridget gave her the slip, and she returned to the house when she found that the prisoner Mary Hannifan had vanished. Went and looked at her box and found the money was gone the box was broken open. Saw the prisoners again and gave them in charge. No one was in the house at the time. P.C. John Giles deposed to taking both prisoners into custody on the previous evening about five o clock, on the charge of stealing 12s. Gd., the property of the prosecutrix. The prisoner Mary said she did not do it. No money was found in their possession. The Bench discharged the prisoners, the evidence not being satisfactory. JEALOUSY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. Ellen Herring was summoned for assaulting Ellen Loch field. Complainant said she was sitting down in her kitchen, when defendant came in and jumped on her back without giving her any notice, and threw her flat down on her face pulled her about the room by the hair of her head, pulling the hair out by handfulls. Defendant also struck her about the face with her fist, cutting her lip and giving her a black eye. Knew of no motive for the assault. TLey had had some words three months since, and she had not spoken to her for two months. The defendant said complainant was jealous of her with her husband. The Bench Is that so ? Complainant: Yes, when she came in she put her head u j >->n my husband's shoulder. I told her-it was better for her to look after young men than married men. Defendant threatened to murder her and eat her with salt afterwards. Defendant denied the charge of too great a familiarity wi-u complainant's husband. A jealous woman would do or say anything. She did not want married men, she could get young men enough. John Macdonald deposed to seeing part of the assault. There was a cross summons in this case, Ellen Herring summoning John Lichfield for striking her when the two women were fighting. The Bench dismissed this summons, and in the case of the first summons the defendant was sentenced to be im- prisoned for fourteen days with hard labour. BITING A MAN'S NOSE Herbert Evans was brought up in custody charged with doing grievous bodily harm to William Bupton, by biting his nose and also striking him. Prosecutor said he was employed by Mr. Atkins, of Gelly Vawr Farm. On Sunday night prisoner and another man were lying in a field drunk. Went up to them and ordered them off They went off, and then came back and beset him from before and behind. Ran to the house, when prisoner ran in after him. Saw the prisoner tirst after he was assaulted by the others, whom-be had seen lying under a rick about half-paet three in the afternoon. When prisoner came into the house he threw complainant on the floor, and tried to put his hand into his mouth, and tried to catch hold of his tongue. Bit prisoner's fingers, and he then caught hold of prosecutor's nose with his teeth. Went to the doctor and had his nose dressed. Evans then went away. Another man took him away. Did not take hold of his finger before prisoner triad to put his hand into his (prosecutor's) mouth. Mary Thomas said on Sunday evening about half-past three o'clock she was in Elizabeth-street, Dowlais. She saw some people running, and she ran too. She heard some one crying "Murder." She went in and saw prosecutor rising from the ground he was bleeding. Some one sepa- rated them. Buptan's nose was cut and bleeding. Thomas Richards, miner, living at Dowlais, went down to Bupton's house, owing to hearing cries of "Murder." Went to the house, and saw prosecutor on the ground the prisoner was lying on him with .his mouth over Bupton's nose. Mr. Robson Torbock, surgeon, of Dowlais, examined Bup- ton's nose. Found it swollen, with distinct marks of teeth in it, nine or ten marks, and the skin was torn oil. The prisoner was committed for trial.
