SECRETARIES:— JAMES HENRY BURGESS, Esq., GEORGE SHADDICK, Esq. PROSPECTUS. The Company is formed with the object of carrying on the business of shipowners and merchants, and for this purpose for purchasing from time to time, as may be deemed expedient by the Directors, sailing ships and (or) steamers of first-class construction, and of such description as shall be considered best calculated to work advantageously for the benefit of its shareholders, an,l with due regard to their adaptability for the export and import trades of Swansea to and from all parts of the world. The directorate is composed of gentlemen of'practical experience in shipping and commercial matters, who are and have been for many years intimately connected with the trade of the port, and who strongly recommend this company to the consideration of the public. The company will be worked on strictly economical principles, under the sole management of its directors. No ariaagement has been made with the secretaries as to their remuneration, but they are quite prepared to accept whatever sum the directors may consider fair and reasonable. They are members of the firm of Messrs. Hurgess. bhaddick, and Co., and are well known for their experience in shipping matters. The directors have gone very carefully into the pros- pects of this company, and judging therefrom, and also from the result of similar undertakings, are unanimously of opinion that dividends oi 10 percent, per annum, and upwards, may reasonably be expected, after deduct- ing a portion of the profits sufficient to form an adequate reserve fund for depreciation, &c. The ships of the company will be fully insured with nrst-class underwriters, until in the opinion of the directors the number of vessels is sufficient to enable them to become their own underwriters. In deciding on the issue being in £10 shares, instead of a larger suni, the directors have had in view the desira- bility of placing them, as far as possible, within reach of all classes of the community, thus enabling all to MUp- port the undertaking, which it is calculated will prove conducive to tb/e general prosperity of the port, and trader*1 'arec^y and indirectly, to the whole of its '■"e accounts will be audited, and copies issued to the shareholders, and dividends declared half-yearly. Provisional certificates will be issued in exchange for the banker's receipts, and on completion of the pay- ments, the shares will be transferred into the name of each applicant, free of stamp duty or other charges, and the share certificates of the Company will be obtained and forwarded in due course. In the event of no allotment being made to any applicact, the deposit paid will he returned forthwith without deduction should a smaller amount be allotted than applied for, the balance paid on application will be applied towards part payment of the amount payable on allotment. Upwards of £40,000 have already been promised. An early application for shares is therefore solicited. The Articles of Association may be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors, Messrs Brown and Collins. Application, which must be accompanied by payment of fl on each share applied for, must be made on the next authorisod form, and can be forwarded either to the Bankers, or to the Solicitors, or to the Secretaries, Messrs Burgess, Shaddick, and Co., Swansea; Bute Docks. Cardiff or 16, South Castle-street, Liverpool or to the Sharebrokers, Messrs Sidney Old, Down, and Co., Adelaide-street, Swansea.

MR. BRIGHT AND THE EDUCATIONAL…
MR. BRIGHT AND THE EDUCATIONAL POLICY OF THE CABINET. THE absence of the great Free Trader from political life has doubtless had a considera- ble effect upon the educational policy of the Government. Had Mr. Bright been in good health, the results which we now deplore might have been modified in a degree, if not prevented altogether. Nonconformists naturally looked to the right hon. gentleman as being, in a special sense, their champion, and the long silence enforced upon him at such a crisis has encouraged the Tories, satisfied the advocates of denominational elementary training, and distressed the friends of unsectarian education. At length, however, Mr. Bright has found a voice, and his counsels re-animate the party tempo- rarily deprived of bis valuable aid. It was no uncertain Bound that the Tribune of the I People uttered in Bingley Hall, and the world now knows not only that Mr. Bright looks upon Mr. Forster's Act as the worst passed by a Liberal Government since the Reform Bill of 1832, but that he is prepared to assist in its amendment at the earliest possible period. The great orator also as- serted his views upon the 25th clause with equal force and perspicacity. Indeed, he went further, and tendered what may be considered a half apology for his colleagues, who, as he thought, had been misled in their partial legislation upon the point by coming to hasty conclusions from ill-digested pre- mises. A little more caution, Mr. Bright believes, would have made it impossible for ministers to have blundered to the extent Dissenters have grave reason to deplore, and upon this hypothesis the re-association of the right hon. gentleman, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, with the Cabinet is to be regarded with feelings of unmixed gratification. Now, we do not believe that the policy of the Nonconformist party should run altogether antagonistic to the ministry. We do not forget the many claims to sup- port which Mr. Gladstone has, still less would we undervalue the services he has rendered to the country. But principle is of more importance, after all, than ex- pediency, and the time has arrived when the Government must accede to the demand for compulsory unsectarian education, or be content to challenge the adverse votes of the more advanced of its supporters. The pro- gress of those doctrines upon which the cause of civil liberty and religious equality are based will brook no delay. Stagnation is utterly opposed to the healthy vitality of national life in its most ardent and virile aspect. The nascent energies of the country are now fully aroused upon the point, the agitation is spreading with intense rapidity, and the forces of the Establishment, divided as they are among themselves, will be powerless to check-still less to roll back- the rising tide of popular opinion in favour of free and unrestricted elementary training for the young. It is admitted now by the majority of the inhabitants of England, that as the State cannot patronize, favour, and aid all religious systems and organisations alike, it should recognize none as of primary importance. Its duty is to teach the chil- dren of the poor in the same sense that it provides the indigent and disabled members of the community with the elements of life. There must be no robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the members of one denomination, or of many, must not be taxed in order that a particular sect may disseminate its tenets and proselytise at another's expense. Mr. Bright evidently sees the signs of the times, and it is also sufficiently obvious that the Premier is now fully alive to the necessity of settling the question in a broad and com- prehensive spirit. We are glad, therefore, to find that the action of the National Edu- cational League, as regards its electoral polity, has been partially suspended, in the hope of leaving Mr. Bright untrammelled in his efforts to impress upon the Cabinet the absolute necessity of surrendering their un- tenable position with good grace, and of restoring unity to the Liberal camp. But it should be distinctly understood that this quiescent attitude by no means implies a total cessation of hostilities. It is a truce, and it is nothing more. If, at the opening of the session, no steps are taken by the ministry to meet the just expectations of the Nonconformists, the white flag will be hauled down, and a "split" which it will take years to heal-if, indeed, so serious a rupture as would then ensue could be healed at all-must assuredly be looked for. The advocates of unsectarian education have had enough of abuse and of temporising. They have been stigmatised as godless, impious, infidels, and have been treated as if they had broken all the tables of Sinai with fiendish delight. Moreover, the leaders of the Liberal party have insulted them too frequently by making pledges destined never to be fulfilled, in the vain expectation of deluding them into passive obedience to the dictates of a ministry content to hold with secular hares while running with denomina- tional hounds. Those pleasant illusions are now in a fair way of being dispelled, and from building castles in the air ministers must descend to the realities of the plain. Fancy pictures of what has been done, pro- jected with skilful hands upon the future, will no longer mislead the more advanced section of the Liberals into a belief that they are shadows of coming events. A bold out- spoken declaration of a wise and thoroughly enlightened educational policy is now looked for, and it must be made, unless the Govern- ment is prepared to fall. School Boards and Board Schools, secular training, compulsory attendance, and perfect religious equality, must be conceded; and the sooner Mr. Glad- stone and his colleagues leave the land of Promise for that of Performance the better it will be for all concerned in the settlement of the momentous issues involved. THE SWANSEA SHIPPING COMPANY. THE efforts lately made by the principal inhabitants of Swansea to meet the requirements of that impor- tant port have been alike praiseworthy and enter- prising. There is an evident determination on the part of the mercantile and shipping community to rise to the occasion, and to prove themselves willing to share in the almost unbounded prosperity which now characterises the various industries of South Wales. Among those who have put their hands to the plough in this matter, the promoters of the Swansea Shipping Company hold a foremost place. Formed under the Limited Liability Act, with a capital of a quarter of a million, its Board of Directors contains the names of men eminent for their public spirit and private worth. No doubt the purchase of ships will be conducted with a due regard to economy by practical men, while freights will be ensured with promptness in consequence of the special interest which is taken in the Company by the leading ship- pers of the port. It is unnecessary to dilate further upon the advantages of a scheme which, in a co- operative as well as in a general commercial sense, must commend itself not only to capitalists, but to the public at large. Merthyr, Aberdare, and other towns in our neighbourhood are largely interested in the development of shipping facilities at Swansea, and, as the shares are rising in the market, the in- ducements to invest are unusually great. F-Ill par- ticulars will be found in onr advertising columns.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. IVOR CHAFEL, DOWLAIS.—During the past summer the English Congregationalists meeting at this place of worship were deprived of the valuable services of Mr J. G. Lloyd, who had for a considerable time gratui- tously played the harmonium at their Sunday services Mr Lloyd, to the great regret of his friends, removed from Dowlais to the ancient city of Lincoln. He left so suddenly that his friends connected with Ivor Chapel had no time to make any kind of testimonial, as an ex- pression of their kind feelings and good wishes. A sub- scription was afterwards opened, and a very handsome silver inkstand was purchased of Mr J. D. Williams, jeweller, Merthyr, which, having been exhibited at Ivor Chapel, was enclosed and sent by rail to Lincoln, and was in due course received by Mr Lloyd. As he could not acknowledge the testimonial in a public meeting, he has written to express his gratitude, and adds that it will be always esteemed by him as a memorial of his past connection with Ivor Chapel. NEW STEAMER FOR THE GREAT WESTERN STEAM- SHIP LINE (BRISTOL AND NEW YORK.—On Wednes- day, there was launched from the yard of the eminent builders, Messrs. Richardson, Duck, and Co., at Stock- ton-on-Tees, a splendid boat for the Bristol station. Her dimensions are-length between perpendiculars, 280 feet; breadth, 35 feet; depth, 24 feet six inches. She is of the highest class, viz., 100 A 1, at Lloyd's and 20 years in red of the Liverpool registry, and, in addi- tion, has extra strengthening plates beyond what are re- quired by the rules. Her engines are by Blair and Co., the most extensive builders of compound engines in the kingdom, and are of 2CO horse power nominal, about 1000 effective horse power. The owners hope she will be ready for work by the end of this year. She was very successfully launched, and was christened the Cornwall by Miss Mary Ingram Head, of Coatham, near Stockton.— Bristol Times, Oct. 23. THE SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY. — In these days, says the Liverpool Mercury, of competitive ex- aminations, and when everything is submitted to the crucial test of public opinion,the Singer Manufacturing Company are glad to be able to inform their patrons and friends that they have again received the most sub- stantial tokens of public approval, having during the present year, in open competition, carried off no fewer than 15 medals and four valuable silver cups. At the Vienna Universal Exhibition the sewing machines of the Singer Company occupied the foremost position amongst the competitors, and to them were awarded the Grand Medal of Progress for unequalled excellence, the Grand Medal of Merit for the best specimens of sewing doae, and three medals for the superior workmanship and perfection of the company's manufactures. These were the highest prize given, no diploma of honour having been granted to any exhibitor. Such testi- monials conferred by so distinguished a body as the scientific judges of the Vienna Universal Exhibition constitute the most flattering tribute to the superiority of the Singer sewing machine which could possibly be paid, and more particularly so since the opinions of the foreign judges have been so completely endorsed by the judges at home. Conscious of the intrinsic excellence of their machines, the company have fearlessly sub- mitted them to the opinions of scientific men in various parts of the United Kingdom and in every instance in which they competed, the company succeeded in carrying off first prizes. Amongst the places at which these distinguished honours were awarded were Ayr, Blackburn, Ormskirk, Preston, Richmond (Yorkshire), Lancaster, Chester, Hereford, Carmarthenshire, and Farnworth. These valuable trophies, added to those won in former years, are the best attestation which can be given to the excellence of the beautiful domestic ma- chines manufactured by the company, which, for ele- gance and durability, combined with every modern im- provement, still stand unrivalled in the world.—[During the present year several important improvements have been introduced, having reference particularly to the more elegant descriptions of work in which these ma- chines may be employed, which may be seen in opera- tion at the Company's Depot, No. 1, Victoria-street, Merthyr TydfiLJ MR. HOWPIELD.-In this testimonial age, when so many of our fellow townsmen are actively engaged in promoting now a testimonial to a public servant, and again to a private friend, it is but right that the claims of a thoroughly able, conscientious and hardworking servant of the public should be brought under notice. It is said that public companies have no conscience. One thing is certain, they lack in a great degree human sympathies. Railway companies for instance use a man up literally, take his best days away, and when he is worn out they throw him aside as a worn-out sleeper. What railway companies omit to do the public should rectify. In the case of Mr Howfleld, we have a towns- man who has laboured in the service of the public ever since the starting of the Vale of Neath Railway. He left that service lately, and new it is but right that he should carry away with him some kind expression in the shape of a testimonial for his long and arduous services. His career in connection with the railway has been one eminently free from accident, due to his ability, care and vigilance. We believe that he was never the cause of the slightest ail to any one passenger but hundreds he has saved from peril of life or limb. A quarter of a century's service in aiding our business, our pleasures, and conducing to our safety and wealth, ought not to be forgotten, and we hope the matter will at once be taken up. THE ALEXANDRA OPERA COMPANY opened for a brief season on Monday last, at the Drill Hall, Merthyr. The company consists of several talented ladies and gentlemen, many of them being well known and of high professional reputation in Merthyr. Among them we may mention Miss Jessie Mills, soprano Mr Stanley Betjemann, tenor Mr Glover, baritone and that ever popular comedian, Mr Dunthorne. These are well sus- tained by a numerous company of ladies and gentlemen, and are accompanied by an efficient orchestra. On Monday evening the grand opera of "Maritana" was performed; on Tuesday, "La Sonnambula;" and on Wednesday, The Bohemian Girl;" followed each evening by a laughable farce. The company performed their several parts with great ability, the principal songs being sung with an effect exemplified by the crowded audiences in the loudest applause. It is gratifying that so excellent and respectable a company are so generously and deservedly patronized; and notwithstanding the temporary disadvantage of having no suitable scenery aad other subsidiary helps," the large numbers who have attended have been greatly pleased, and a pros- perous season is anticipated.
MERTHYR BOARD OF HEALTH.
MERTHYR BOARD OF HEALTH. An adjourned meeting of this Board was held on Wednesday for the purpose of taking into consideration the advisability of applying for a provisional order from Government to acquire certain property for the im- provement of the town. Mr Simons was voted to the chair, and there were also present Messrs Geo. Martin, R. Harrison, J. W. James, T. Jenkins, T. H. Hosgood, W. L. Daniel, John Gabe, W. Gould, T. Williams, and W. Harris. Mr Simons opened the business by explaining the ob- ject for which the meeting had been adjourned at the last meeting. He regretted the absence of the chair- man on the present occasion, as his experience would have been most valuable. With regard to the matter in hand there could be no doubt on the mind of any member of the Board that the great increase of popula- tion up to the present time, and the prospective increase attendant on the establishment of new works, and the opening up of the coal fields in the district, made it necessary for the .Board to look forward and provide such conveniences as were necessary for the welfare of the inhabitants as well as to facilitate business. They must all know how much business was retarded by the obstruction of some of their thoroughfares, and the im- perfect means of access between different parts of the district. To commence at the lower ward, there were a lot of houses on a neck of land which completely blocked up the main thoroughfare of the town. For some years past this had been a subject of complaint, and at the present moment this was the only way by which the principal portion of the materials used in the town waa brought, and this would continue to be so for some time whatever alterations might be made with regard to passenger traffic, and he felt sure that there was not a member of the Board who had not long consented in his own judgment to make this necessary alteration. Mr J. W. James: Are you going to make any motion ? Mr Simons replied that^he was not. He merely opened the meeting. Mr J. W. James: Because I think you are out of order if you are not going to make a motion. A Member though that as Chairman of the Board Mr Simons had a perfect right to explain the object of the meeting. Mr W. L. Daniel suggested that Mr James should state his grounds for assuming that Mr Simons was out of order, Mr Simons admitted that he might perhaps be out of order. He would, however, make use of no persuasion, but simply lay the facts briefly before the meeting. There was what had long been contemplated, viz., another bridge over the Taft instead of the present old Iron Bridge, and the opening up of Lower Castle-street to make an approach to this bridge. Then there was the bridge to Abercanaid, which had long been a subject of discussion, and it was necessary that action should be taken with a view of carrying this out. Then there were to be one or more slaughter-houses in the district, and the Beard was already committed to the construc- tion of a road to Gellygaer. It would be to the lower part of the town that they must in future look for a large amount of their income, and it was necessary that this part should be opened out and properly connected. Then there was the desirability of opening up the bottom of Alma-street, so as to have proper access to Thomas Town from that direction, for at present it WAS very dangerous just there. Mr John Gabe And we should include a road from Courtland Terrace through to Twynyrodin, by the White Horse, Mr Simons That has long been felt to be a necessity. Mr Thomas Jenkins Mr Simons has described all that is wanted very well indeed. Now we want to know what it will cost, for I don't think we are in a position to spend much money. ESTIMATES.—THE NEW ROAD TO GELLIGAER. The Surveyor here handed in an estimate of the cost of the road from Penydarran Endto Geliigaer, which was put down at £ 3,000, or allowing for the B700 received by the "Board from the Gelligaer Committee, the cost to {the ratepayers would be £2,400. The estimate for the new bridge over the Taff was JE5,000, the bridge itself costing about £ 3,500. Mr Thomas Jenkins That will make lanother llhil, ling rate for us. APPROACH TO THE TAFF STATION. The Surveyor then submitted a plan for the improve. ment of the entrance to the lower part of the town. He proposed purchasing the property on the left hand side of High-street, going down, from the Star, oppo- oite the Old Chnroh to the JSailway lac," and diverting
