IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. -# HOUSE OF LORDS.—THUMDAT. The Lord Chancellor, in moving the second reading of the Attorneys' and Solicitors' Bill, explained that the object of the measure was to abridge the terms of the articles by one year of those young men who had passed an examination to the satisfaction of the examiners. After a few rentarks from Lord Brougham, the Bill was read a tecoad timp. THE HUDSON'S BAT COMPANY. The Duke of Newcastle, in answer to a question from Lord Carnarvon, explained the steps which the Govern ment proposed to take during the present session in reo ference to the Nortb-American territori-s over which the Hudson's Bay Company have held an exclusive licence of trade with the Indians. The measures which were con- templated by the Government at the present moment were the introduction of a Bill for the appointment of magistrates, and to lay down rules for the regulation of trade with the Indians. It was not, however, the inten* tion of the Government to extend the charter of the Had. son's Bay Company, nor was it proposed by the Colonial. office to assist emigrants. Although he r cognized the value of railways, it was not intended to assist them by means of subsidies. After a few woris from Lord Donoughmore, the sub. ject dropped, MERCHANT 8TBAMERS FOR WAR PURPOSES. The Duke of Somerset said it had been doci,ted by a committee of naval and military officers, appointed in 18>2, ih it it was inexpedient to render commercial steam vessevs fit for war. The present Board had sent officers lowquire how far ateam.tugs might be available for the defence of the mouths of rivers, but he did not expect a very favourable report on the. subject. FRIDAY. THE AFPAIR8 OF NORTHBRN ITA^T.—Lord Malmes. bury, at the request of Lord Granville, consented to post- pone his motion. Although he agreed to defer his ex- planation on the despatch of Count Cavour, he coul l not foibear from referring to the case of the Ducheaa of Parma, whose admirable conduct had won universal ad- miration, and expressed hit opinion that it would be a bad example of public, morality if she were not restored to her domiuions. He protested against the statements of Couut Cayour, which he was ready, as he stid, to meet and to refute -one by one, but at the present moment he would not discuss the subject. Deprecating the opinion which prevailed in Her Majesty's Government, that it was necessary for the House to preserve silence on foreign affairs until their immediate interest had passed away, he sincerely hoped that Parliament would not separate before au opportunity had been given to .the House to express their opiuion on foreign tS<ir<, and to learn the intention of the Government in regard to the position they woul.1 occupy iu concluding peace. Lord Normanby, in agreeing to the requett of Lord Granville, postponed his observations on Count favour's despatch, which was characterixed by a suppretsio veri. He highly eulogized the conduct of the Duchess of Parma, who had done everything to promote the interest of her subjects, and whose States ought to be restored, as they had been guaranteed to her by the whole of Europe. Lord Gianville thanked the noble lords for the course they had taken. He explained that there was no wish on t4e part of the Government to preveut dicussion on foreign affairs. Lord Brougham thought it a most melancholy thing that questions of such importance as peace and war should be decided by two Emperors uncontrolled by a Parliament, a press, or even in the slightest degree by their own Ministers. Lord Derby thought it strange that Sardinia, whit-h had occupied the first position, and to which France only stood in the lelatiou of an ally, bad been-thrown euiiieh into the background. They had bear.1 that peace had been concluded between France and Austvu; he wished to know whether peace had been agreed to between Austria and Sardinia. Lord Grauville said that the Government only knew that a convention ha j been drawn up between the fitn- petor of France and the Emperor of Austria aa a basis for peace. lie w).< not able to give further details. Lord Normanby then moved for a copy of a despatch from Lord J. Russell to Sir James Hudson Oil the sub- ject of the alleged annexation of the duchies of CeuUal Italy by the Government of Piedmout. l,ord Ebury protested against our past policy of officious interference in the affairs of foreign S'atea, as tending to destroy the influence of this country in the councils of Europe. The Duke of Katland said,, ibat although he agreed with the list speaker on the policy of non-intervention, he did no- concur with him iu his praise of Count Cavour, who h.d been, in his opinion, the cause of the war. LorJ S ratford de R dctiffe thought the objection made against our interference by for&ign States was mor-j on account of the manner than of the thing itself, and cited the case of the late King of Naples as a precedent in point. He passed a strong censure on Count Cavour, who had excited the revolutionary party in Tuscany. Lord Wodehouse expressed the willingness of the Government to discuss these matters fully when sufficient intormittion had been obtained. He promised that the despatch moved for by Lord Normanby should be laill on the table. In regird to the circulars moved for by Lord Malmesbury, he could not promise to lay them before the House, but the answer to them should be communicated to their Lordships. Lord Malmesbury thought the answer without the circular of the Sardinian Government would be unin- telligible. After a few words from Lord Wodehouse and Lord Clanricarde, the motion was agreed to. MONDAY. CONSOLIDATING THE STATUTE LAW. Lord Crsnworth, in calling attention of the House to the fourth report of the Commissioners for Consolidating the Satute Law, entered in detail into the steps which had been taken, and ttil, results which had been secured by the commission. In inquiring of the Lird Chancellor what are the intentions of the Government. Two or three gentlemen, with a competent staff of clerks, who, relinquishing their professional practice, should devote their energies to the accurnplishment of the work in hand. In case of such suggestion being adopted, he thought the whole matter might be brought to a satisfactory conclusion in two years. The Lord Chanctllor concurred in tfee suggestion of Lord Cranworth, and considered that such a staff of pro- fessional men might, besides consolidating the statute law of the laud, be made extremely useful in their legal cap. city to both Houses of Parliament in assisting members in drawing up Bills. He took the present occasion to state that the Government contemplated at the beginning of next session to introduce measures on bankruptcy, on the transfer uf real property, on taking evidence in the Court of Chancery, to consolidate and simplify the orders of the Lord Chancellors, and to establish fixed courts, so that courts of common law might be able to decide any equitable question which might incidentally arise, without bandying suitors from courts of common law to courts of equity, Lord Brougham thought it would be better that the question should be solely committed to a body of learned men. Lord St. Leonard's thought the best course to bring the matter to a successful conclusion would, in his opi- nion, be to refer it to a sfleet committee. Lord Wensleydale said that, although the labours of the Commission had been most valuable, he did not think theni adequate to accomplish the objects which they had in view. After a few remarks from Lords Chelmsford, Cran. worth, and Brougham, the subject dropped. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. THE INDIAN ARMY. Mr. H. Baillie called attention to the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the organization of the Indian army. He observed that this was a matter which involved the efficiency of her Majesty's army in this country as well as in India, and ought to receive the serious consideration of the House in the present state of political affairs. An opinion was expressed in the re- port that henceforth an army of not less than 80,000 European troops should be permanently maintained in our Indian entire. Now, there would be difficulty, in his opinion, in maintaining such an army in India in time of war. The force now in that country was about 85,000 men- but the consequence had been that, in spite of all our efforts, we had not been able to rise in this country the number of men voted by Parliament last year by 10,000, and we had been obliged to call out 25,000 militia to do the duty of regular troops; so that the army was deficient 35,000 men. The question was, could we with voluntary enlistment, raise and maintain so large an army aa to allow of a permant force of 80,000 men being kept in India, with due regard to the wants of our numerous colonies and the exigences of the mother country in the event of war 1 He inquired whether the Secretary of State for India intended to bring this question before the House. Sir C. Wood replied to Mr. Baillie. The result seemed to be that the present Government had not had time, to consider a subject,of so much difficulty and importance. Lord Stanley was convinced that, as a matter of ne. cessity, a considerable proportion of the European army in India should remain, as at present, local. THE SUVIS TRADE Mr. Griffith called attention to the recent case of c. Santol v. Illidge," and asked whether the clauses in the Act, 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 98, autho- rising the sale of staves by British joint-stock companies should not be repealedt Lord J. Russell said there was no intention on the part of the Government to introduce a Bill to repeal the clauses n question. NAVX ESTIMATES, I The supplementary vote of £ 100,000 for the bounty or gratuity to seamen already in the service upon certain conditions, gave rise to much discussion. Lord C. Paget explained and justified the vote. The principle of a bounty, he observed, ought to be very care. fully considered; but the late Government having adopted the principle, the position of the tnen in the service required consideration. He admitted that they had no legal daim, and that they had never uttered a {complaint; but justice, he thought, and sound policy Remanded the course proposed by the Government. 'Sir J. Pukington protested vehemently against this pourse, which while sacrificing unnecessarily a large pmoant of money, would. establish a dangerous prece. flent. l- Sir J. Graham had no doubt that the proposed gratuity r" the inevitable consequence of the former bounty. This and the other votes were ultimately agreed to. ARMY ESTIMATB8. Mr. S. Herbert then opened the Army Estimates with a prefatory statement, in the course of which he pdtl a tribute to the excellent administration of his predecessor (General Peel), and having explained the different heads pf the estimates, proceeded to move certain votes, which tinderWent much discussion, The Chairman was ordered to report progress. The House went into committee on the Criminal justice, Middlesex (Assistant-Judge Bill,) the clauses of Which were agreed to after a long debate. FRIDAY. Lord J. Russell said the Government had received no authentic information of any extraordinar), preparations at Brest or Cherbourg, and the) had, therefore, not thought it necessary to demand any explanation of the Fiench Government on the subject. In answer to Mr. Horsman, Lord John said no communication had been made to Her Majesty's GOlernment as to the terms of the peace between France and Austria; that he had directed Lord Cowley to ask for an explanation of the exact terms of the treaty and of the mode in which it was to be carried into effecf, and the answer was deferred until the arrival of the Emperor at Paris, who was expected on Monday. THB ITALIAN WAR.—Lord J. Russell, after replying briefly to Lord Elcho, said he was glad it was not neces- sary to discuss the conduct of the late Government, which, he admitted, had used its utmost endeavours to preient the evils of war. If the present Government had had to go into all the parlicultrs of their conduct, there might be certain parts of it in which they had not taken the view Which he thought was most likely to lead to a satisfactory result. In the present state of sfftirs, the influence of Englaiid should be employed to confirm and improv* the general peace. Our policy was not to abandon a neutral position that, he believed, had been the universal opinion of the people of this country. If we were called upon to consider a treaty of peace, we were bound not to partici- pate in any treaty not couformable with our notions of the honour, Uie dignity, and the freedom of t':is country. MONDAY. THE BUDGET. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made his financial statement. He presumed, he Siid, that it would be for the CJiiteuieuce of the curn,niitee to follow the ususl practice, and to make known the re-ult of the finance9 of the pa-I year. The total revenue of the vear had been estimated at £ 63,900,000; it had produced £ 65,477,01)0. The total actual expenditure had been XOI,663,000, »Ka'rnt a revenue of £ 65,477,000., leaving a surplus of £ 800,000. The result of the duty upon draugh s and checks could not be correctly Ascertained. Its amount had been eotimatedat £ 300,000, but he thought it wou!d not exceed f 200,00. There was an exemp*io:i of check. drawn by the propiietor and to him over the counter, and this exemption he would propose to remove. The equalizttion of the spirit duties, which v«a* a measure of fltcsl reform independent of pecuoi ry results, bad been estimated to yieU an additional revenue of 95 '0,000, but the produce in 1858-59, aa compared with 1857-53, showed au increase of only £ 35,003. There was a prospect, however, of the duty being considerably more productive. Mr. Gladstone then addressed h m'etf to wlut he termed the more grtve and serious part of his ta-k, by stating the estimated amount of the re- venue expenditure of thi cuirent year, and the extent to which the latter would exceed the wajj and meaus, or ordinary revenue of thecouutry. Estimated Revenue: •Custom., £ 23,830,000 excise, £8,53tJ,naO; cttmp", £ 8,100,000; land aud assessed taxes, £ 3 200,'00 i income- tax, 4*5,600,0Q0 j post olfiiv, £ 3,590,00J ciown lauds, £ 2SO,000; miscellaneous, £ 1,530,000. Tota', £ 64,310.000. Esjinstrd ExpenditureFunded and uufunded debt 921,600,000; Churls ou Consolidated Fund, £ 1,960,000; Army (.including Militia), £ 13.300,0J0 Navy (including P«ckt t-seivice), £ 12,78-000; Civil Services, 1:7,825,00, Uevenne Depaitmeut', £ 4,740,00); twal, £ 69,207,00. The estimated levenue being jE64,340,000, and the estimated expenditure £ 69,207,000. there would be-It grois drficienry in the current year of £ 4,857,000. This being the time when it becime the Committee to make adequate and effective provision for the wants of the year, it was likewise a time when Its attention- ahosshl be rigidly confined to the waots of the year, the charge* being of an exceptional character, especially those for the army aud navy. The Committe* therefore, were not to busy themselves with comprehensive plans of finance upon the present occasion next year it would be necessary to enter upon larger views of our financial system, for next year the income-tax would I..p. as well as certain war duties upou tea and sugar, and ou the other hand, the Long Annuities would fail in. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, would not enter upon considerations of prospective finance; they c JO fined them- selves to temporary aud almost provisional finance. He now asked the Committee to consider what modes of sup- ply could be deviied to meet the deficiency on the (estimates. This great question divided itself into two branches—should we attempt to raise the necessary funds by borrowing or by taxes? The sum required was between £ 4,00(1,003 and £ 5,000,000. This wis a large sum to demand from tax- payer*. Oa the other hind, it was a sum that ha,1 never driven the British Pai liaine it to the expedient of augmenting the national debt, which nothing but dire necessity should induce it to do. It appeared to him that a loan ought not to be resorted to; that there never was a period wbeu the people of England were more satisfied of the justice and necessity of the demands on the public purse, or more able or willing to meet those demands. There was another reason against resorting to a loau -oamely, that there would be another botrower iu the market, ou account of the exigencies of India. His- obser- vation applied not only to the creation of permanent debt, but to the hsue of Exchequer Bill, the effect of which was not to throw off the burden upon posterity, but upon the year 1860. already charged to the very utmost. Then, if we were driven by considerations of justice and policy to the alternative of looking to taxes for the means of meetini the expenditure of the next year, should the taxation be direct or indirect ? The articles for indirect taxation were malt, spirit"; tea, and sugar. In hisopioion, it wai not des rable to propose an augmentation of the duty upon malt, and it would be unwi e and premature to ra=se the question as to the general itieresse of the spirit duties: so that neither malt nor spirits held out the hope of a resource. With re- spect to tea and sugar, reminding the committee that they wore not dealing with prospective finance for the moment, he insisted upon the impolicy iu the interests of trade, as well as for other reasons, amounting, he considered, to de- monstration of increasing the duties of Customs or Excise. This being so, they arrived at a point that might be easily anticipated—what they should do with the lucodme-te, ? Tnattax had been originally introduced for two objects; first, to nuke reforms in our fiscal Bystein secondly, to meet sudden public exigencies; and when it was for the dignity, honour, and safety of the couutry that efforts should be made to augment the national defences, the ip. come-tax was, above all oibers, a regular and resource. The groil deficiency to be met as he h-id stated, was £ 4.867,000. In the'first place, the Govemrosut were of opinion that the sy«tem of nearly sit months' credit al- lowed to mlllders-wher..by to iii-t extent the Govern- ment found capital for the milster, which was an ex- ceptional privilege and bad in principle-might be modifi-d, and they proposed to take away six weeks of Ihe cndlt and to allow a discount of 4 per cent, on the payment. Thd effect of this would be to brina into Ih2 Exchequer before the 1-t of &piil next a sum of £ 730,000 which would 0,^Jer* wise oot be paid until the following financial year. This would reduce the denciency of f4,867,000 to a little over £ 4,000,000, and this it was proposed t<> raise by an aug- mentation of the Income-tax. The present rate was 5*. in the pound. An additional 41. in the pound would give something over £ 4,000,000. It would be necessary to reo introduce the distinction between iucomes under icibo and above that amount. He proposed that the ad- ditional fourpence iu the pound on the nags of the Income-tax payers should stop at incomes of £ 150; and he proposed that the augmented tax should be leviable upou the first half-yearly payment after the resolution should have been adopted by the House. The ellect would be that in el the autumn or winter quarter the tax upon all persons with incomes above £150 a.year would be 6 £ d„ or at the rate an- nnally of Is. I 'd., and 41, upon incomea under Xi 50. This addition to the tax would prodnce 94,340 001) and the sum addetl to < £ 780,000 would give £ 5.120,000 .deducting deficiency of £ 4,867,000. there would remaio a sui plus of £253,000. During the current year a sum of £ 400,000 would become due on account of the last payment 01 Long Annuities; but the state of the cash balances would render any provision to meet this demand unnecessary. Afr. Gladstone concluded by moving a formal vote of Way and Means, and laid upon the table two resolutions relating to the malt duties and the Income-tax, to bi taken into con- sideration on Thursday. After a desultory discussion, the resolutions were agieed to, and ordered to be printed. The House then went into a Committee of Supply upon the Civil Service Estimates and Civil t'.mtiugencies, and various votes were agreed to, after much discussion, When the Chairman was ordered to report progress.

LORD STANIEV, M.P., AND HIS CoMTtTPBKTS.— Lord Stanley has just made a muniftcent odonatioutØ the library named after him in King's Lynn, the borough which his lordship represents in Parliament. Some years since the noble lord gave f 1,000 to the establishment of the institution, and as the Town Council in carrying out a policy of retrenchment have been compelled to with- draw a grant of £50, which has hitherto been made annually to the library, his lordship has within the last few days presented an Indian debenture for JEMO, to put the establishment in the funds. SUBJIASINB TBLBORAPH TO DENMARK.-The submer- sion of It submarine tt-legraph cable between Denmark and Cromer, on the Norfolk coast, was accomplished without any particular difficulty or circumstances calling for comment. The steamer employed was the William Cory, which was engaged last autumn in laying a cable from the same point to Emden, Hanover; and the cable was paid out at the rate of 100 miles per day. The work of submersion was not commenced until an early hour on Monday, and Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Co., the con* tractors, received in the couise,of Thursday a telegram announcing the satisfactory completion of the undertake iug, which will be also the means of placing the colony of Heligoland in direct commupication with the mother country.

LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL. It is expected Swansea docks and railway will be opened early in September. THB ROYAL MONMOUTHSHIRE MILITIA were inspected on Saturday last, after which the men engaged in a variety of rustic sports provided under the patronage of Lieut.-Col. Vaughan and the officers. Sotte sensation has been crpated among the members of the boot and shoe trade, in Bristol, in consequence of some of the wholesale dealers in these goods having erected extensive machinery for their manufacture. By the new process ten men will be Xble to turn out sixty pairs of boots or shoes in a day. New COUNTY MAGISTRATES.—The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to appoint, through C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., Lord Lieutenant of the county, the following gentlemen as magistrates for the county of GlamorganE. M. Richards, John C. Richardson, Robt. Eaton, of Brynymor, and John Rowland, of Neath, Esqrs. THB GLOUCESTER RIFLE CORPs.-Two separate corps havw been formed in this city. In one the members bear the whole of the cost of their equipment, in the other the government grant of 25 rifles to every hundred will be accepted, and the members will only bear the expense of their uniform And accoutrements, which will be under JES 10.. DISIMTHRBSTBD LIBERALITY.—The Catholics of Bryn- mawr have long stood in need of a place of worship; the place in which they have met for years being a room over a public-house. The atate of things is however about to be altered, as Crawshay Biiley, Esq ,.M.P., has kindly granted them a site for a new chapel. This mark of lib- erality on the part of a Protestant is very creditable in Mr Bailey, an 1 has won him the esteem of those in whose behalf he had interested himself. NBYLAND. — Another large pontoon has arrived at the Neyland terminus of the South Wales Railway, for the purpose of improving and perfecting the tidal accommoda- tions there. Other arrangements for facilitating the ship- ment of.coul, &i\, are being made, so that soon, iustead of as at present, when every portion of coal has to be carried on meti's backs, it will be discharged out of the trucks into the holds of tbe steamers and other vessels. A CHILD BURNT BY A DRUNKEN MOTIIER, -00 Wed- nesday high', the wife of John Hopkins, 17, Qaarry-atreet, Swansea, while drunk, nearly destroyed her infant child by accidetnly setting fite to the bed on which (he child aud herself lay. A passer-by observing ths fire, gave an alarm, and the %vo-n,in at) I child succeeded in esc^piug, although the child—a boy, about eight months old-was severely burnt about the lower part of the boity. The child has since died. BLKNHAM. -THE SEASON.—This beautiful an 1 attrac- tive watering-place, we are pleased to state, is fist filling with visitors, the purity of its airtnd the bracing tendency of its refreshing breexes being eagerly sought after by parties desiring a pleasant summer resort, or restoratiou to heatth. The attractions are daily increasing, an d doubt. less the place will ere long be of considerable importance. The new hotel built by George Reed, Esq., facing the sea is near completion, and will be opened vety shortly; and Ihe beautiful gardens and hothouses of the same gentle- man are now thrown open to the public, and may be viewed upon application to the gardener upon the pre- mises. They are well deserving public inspaction. V ATAL ACCIDENT WHILST BATHING. -An inquest was held on Thursday afternoon at the Star and Garter, Sioane-street, Swansea, on view of the body of Mr. Richard Scott, aged 41, veterinary surgeon, and landlord of the above-named house. He had been bathing on the sautis with Mr. James Stuart, draper, ami was droivued in abjui two feel nf water. The Jury returned a verdict to the effect that they did not think the deceased was drowced, but that he diej in a fit whilst bathing. CRICITET MATCH BETWEEN BRECON AND NEWPORT. -011 Monday and TuesJaya m'llch at cricket was played upon the Brecon grouud between eleven gentlemen o the Brecon club and the stme number from Newpoit. Considerable inlHJst was shown during the progress of the game. The number of visitors was large, and com- prised principnlly the gentry and tradesmen of the town and neighbourhood with their families. All the arrange- ments wereeaceHent. Some of the players were remarkably good. The match terminated in the defeat of the New- port gentlemen, who scored 104 in their first and 88 in the second illuings,-Iot;tl, 192; while the Brecon score was—First innings, 107; second, 138,-tota1, 245. New. port thus lost by 53 runs. The players from Newport were-C.ptairu the Hon. F. Morgin and Gildea, and Messrs..Frtince, Levick, Gaskille, G. Homfray, A. Hom. fiay, Atffrey, Northington, Price and Morris. The Bre con players cornpriseil-Capiaiii Lloyd, and Messrs. C Bishop, J. Lloyd, W. Williams, G. Jones, P. Le vis, P. Lloyd, Hind, Cansick, H. Price, and J. Williams. A SINGULAR ACCIDENT occurred on Saturday lnstto Mr. Watkius, butcher, of Monnow>st., Moomou h. He was at his stalj in the New Market.house, --tvheti observing a joint ofimeat about to fall from one of the hooks in con- sequence of its own. weight, he endeavoured to save it. The weight of the meat forced back the knife, which he held in, his hand, and it cut off the upper part of the thumb I ka right hind. Strange to say, instead 01 hastening 10 the doctor, he commenced searching for the piece cut off, although the blood streamed from the wound in a shocking manner. The surgeon to whom he was in- duced to go, had much difficulty in stopping the flow and Mr, Watkins is severely pained and incommoded by the undesired amputation. THB IRON TRADE remains in an inactive state, but for coat the demand is becoming more regular and active. In Monmouttisiiiei3 most owners express themselves satis- fied with their present position, and at the same time entertain hopes that matters will go on improving. The intelligence of the treaty of peace created much surprise, and th^ event will doubtless affect all branches of com- merce to a large extent. In the it on trade it may have a beneficial effect; but for a time it will probably ten I to reduce the demand for coal. The French navy has of late required a large supply, and orders from this source, of course, tended to keep the inaiket in a healthy state. At present, no material change has transpired, but freights to-day have a downward tendency, aud coalowners will doubtless shortly find a difference in their situation and prospects. — Mining Journal. BREQONSHIRE ARCHERY CLUB.—The first meeting, this season, of the above club look place on Wednesday last, in'the Cricket-field, Brecon, when there was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen from the surrounding districtt The first ladies' prize was won by Miss Davies, who made 52 hits, and the second by Mrs. Elinslie, who scored 208, with 2 riugs off. The first gentleman's prize was taken by Peary Lt -yd, Esq. who made 36 hits, and tho second by the Rev. G. J. Divies, who scored 113, with 3 rings off. The bind of the Brecon Royal Rifle Regiment of Militia was in attendance aDd pUyed at in- tervals during the day, and in the evening the St. John's corps of gfes and drums were preeent. At the close of the proceeding the members of the club adjourned to the .stla Hotel, where dancing was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. [ COLLISION ON THE VALB OF NEATH RAILWAY.—An alarming collision between two goods trains occurred on the line between the Glyn-Neath and Neath stations, on Wednesday the 6th inst. Fortunately no lives were lost, but a serious loss has been incurred by the Company. It seems that the 8.45 up train had arrived at Glyn- Neath, and the first portion of the train was about to move on up the embankment when the detached portion, the breaks of which had not been applied by the guard, and which had been left standing at the verge of an in- cline, started backwards towards Neath. On the road, and while going at a tremendous speed, the train came in contact with a heavy mineral train going np. Six- teen trucks were smashed to pieces, and the engine of the mineral train much injured. The driver and guard jumped off before the collision, but the firem!in remained on the tender. The line was blocked up and the pas- senger, trains detaiued for three hours. Mr. Williams, the Company's general manager, was speedily on the spot apd the iiue was put in working order again as soon as possible. BRISTOL RIFLE CoRM.—A muster of the Bristol Rifle Corpa.for inspection and drill, to which a portion of the public were admitted, took place on Saturday afternoon in the quadrangle of ihe Bristol Exchange, The corps at present musters about 350 members, the great majority of whom atteuded on this occasion. Eight companies have Ueen formed, of which one or two number about 60, exclusive of officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, while some hardly exceed 20. The inspection was made by the commanding officer, Major Bush (late of the 96th Regiment), Lieutenant-Colonel of the Bristol Volunteer Rifles, each company taking open order in turn and closing its ranks after inspection. The area of the Ex- change not affo.ding room for more than one company to manoeuvre at a time, four men were ordered to fall out from each, and were formed into a test company. The column was then retired under the North Piazza, and the test company was put through a series of ordinary field-day evolutions, advaftoinx and retiring in line, taking ground to the flanks in fours and in fites, ehinging front by wheel of company, by sections, and subdivisions forming open and close columns of sections and sub- divisions; echelon movements, marching in fours and' columns of sections, and reforming company to the front, reverse flank, and right about; subdivisions and sections wheeling outwards and wheeling back into line. Several of these movements were executed from the halt as well as oil the move, and with a degree of promptitude, steadi- ness, and correctness highly creditable to the volunteers, considering the short time the corps has been in drill.

CARDIFF UNION. The usual weekly meeting of the members of this Board was held last Saturday, E. David, Esq., chairman, presiding. CHEQUES.—The Clerk enumerated the cheques re- quired for out-door relief, which were granted. THE MEDICAL DISIRIOTS'.—The Clerk read the fol- lowing letter from the Poor-law Board, dated July 11, .a.id rigiie.) C. Gilpin, Secretary I am directed by the Poor-law Boar,1 to acknowledge the receipt of your let- ter of the 22nd ult., forwarding plana, showing the altera- tions which theguardians propose making in the Medical District, in the Cardiff Union. Before further coneider- ing the proposal of the Guardians, the Board request that you will be good enough to inform them to which of the newly-formed districts the present Medical Officers ttre to be attached, as this information is not given in the plans referred to. The Board observe that it is suggested to form two additional districts, and I am to request that when the Guardians have appointed Medical Officers to these districts, the particulars of their appoint- ment may be communicated to the Board in the enclosed form,—Mr. Bird: Well, well; I wonder if Mr. Gil- pin is the celebrated John Gilpin (laughter). It is a very curious letter.— The Chairman: I should not wonder if he is not a descendant of that eccentric gentleman (laughter).-Mr. Bird: They first of all say they will not sanction the required districts till they get further in- formation, and then they go on and s.y when we have made the appointments, they wiii attach certain condi- tions. -The Clerk explained that as far as he understood the letter, the P<ior-'aw Board required the names and. qualifications of the Medical Officers appointed to the two new districts, and those which the present Me.ttca) Officers will select.—The Chairman thought they hid given all the information they could, and the best Hay "would be^ advertise at once.— l'he Rev. Canon Morgan considered it would be best to answer the letter in the form it was put to them.-The Chairman said if they did that they would only be deferring the appointments another fort- night. long discussion ensued, in the course of which the Chairman suggested that they should advertise, and write to the Boatd, telling them what had been done, and tive the lIame8 of the present Medical Officers. —Mr. Bird We wish to do all we can in one day.—The Rev. Canon Morgan: Mote red tipe, sir (laughter).—M r. Bird If they have too much red tapeism up there, let us have a little less here (hear, hear)—It was then agreed that an advertisement should be insetted in the pipers, and that the appointments should take place next Saturday (this day) fortnight.— In reply to a question, the Clerk said there had been no less than six presidents at the.-Poor- law Board within six months, and that the present letter was the first received from Mr. Gilpin. MASTER'S RLQUISITION,—The Master's requisition for the week was read, and the atticies asked for granted. MASTER'S HEPOPT.—This report, which was dated July 16, stated that the men's ctosets had been stopped, and that some poiiion of tbe yard ought to be raised. He refused to have anything to do with it till some competent pei&on had seen it. The oatmeal sent in by Mr. Fiint was vety bad. The old men in the house complained of the old potatoes, and said they would not eat any more of them. — Ihe Master said he had changed some oat- meal, but what he had the second lime was no better than the first.—Mr. Bird The cheese is bad too, I understand. The M aster aiso reported that the shoemaker required four or live weeks to m.eud the shoes. There had been 28 additional paupers received into the house, aud 34 dis- charged, leaving the present inmates 239, of which 55 were in the refuge. This showed an addition of 23 over the same period of last year. -The Master brought in the cheese supplied this week and said it was worse than that 1- of the previous week. —Mr. Pride I wish to state that Mr. Flint told me he has requested Mr. John, to send back anything that was complained of, and he would exchange it. With respect to the cheese he could not help some bad ones being gent, as in a large quantity they must ex- pect to meet with a bad cheeee.-The Master: I told Mr. Flint when he brought it.in that it was not like the sample, and I should report it to the Board.Mr. Alexander Well, this cheese is certainly not like the eample; there, is a difference of shillings per cwt.—The Chairman Better desire the Cletk to write to Mr. Flint. —Mr. Alexander: I propose that Mr. John buy the cheese else. whete, and that M" Flint make up the difference.—Mr. D. Jones: I will second that. I think it was a great shame Mr. Flint had the contract. — Mri A'exander: Mind, I don't go so far as that (laughter).—Tbe proposi- tion wai carried.—The Oatmeal was then produced, when Mr. Alexander having examined it, Mid lie did not con- sider it very bad; it was good -of the sort. It was not what he should call good. It was not equal to the sample, and was not fit for the House.—The old men's complaints respecting the old potatoes were then considered, when, the Rev. Mr. Jones said he believed if they got young pota- toes they would be cheaper than the old ones.—Mr. Lewis (relieving officer) said prime young potatoes could be bought at 4-s. 61. per cwt. — Mr, Alexander: How long has Ihe cOntract for the old potatoes to runl The Master: Till the end of the month. I know the pota- toes are bad, AS they always are at this time of the year. We have a stock in. The Chairman: The best way is to complete the contract, and then we can get new ones. This was the whole of the public business.

We need not say that the report of Mr. Cobden going out to Canada as Governor is an absurdity—at least most persons regard it in that light—although the rumour has been widely circulated. Loss OF THE ALBATROSS YACHT.—An inquest has been held at Gravesend on the bodies of Mr. Andrew Berncastle (owner), Albert Pattenden, and G. Pawson, who were drowned by the sinking of this yacht off Gravesend on Sunday morning Iltsr. The accident Was caused by the jaeht tunning foul of another yacht shortly. after the anchor was heaved, and the tide running strong. There were eight persons on boird at the time, and Mr. Berncastle was at the helm when the accident happened. rhe jury returned a verdkt of If Acc.identally drowned." Flusr AND SECOND. —We think we are safe iu saying that none of our readeis woul I travel in a Second Class, Railway Carriage, if they coul.1 have a First Clnss for the same fare, and equally safe in saying thet as few would take a second class article if they knew they eould procure a first class at the same price. Strange as it may seem we have it in our power to name one article- which may be obtained on such terms, and that is none other than the cplebrated GIEKFIETD PATENT STAPCtT. which has been exclusively used in Her .l\hjest)'¿ Lawidry for many years, and whi.h has row come into such general use that the grocers find, it more profitable to sell it than inferior articles even at the same price, owing to the demand for it being so very great. We can theretoie congratulate our fair readers on the oppor- tunity they now have of procuring the same Starch, as is used for getting up the laces and linens of Royalty, at about the same price as they would pay for the most common Starch made. We surely have good grounds for recommending this article to them seeing that the QUERN'tt LAUNDRESS with her great experience, and after trying almost alt other kinds has pronounced it to be the finest Starch she ever us"d. 50, OiJOCules have beep effected without Medicine, inconve- nience or expense, or indigestion (dyspepsia), constipation, flatulency, phlegm, nervousness, biliousness, liver complaints, hysteria, neuralgia, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation heart- ùuru, eruptions, impurities, irritability, low spirits, diarrhoea, dysentery, hemorrhoids, headache, noises in the head and ears, debility, despondency, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness (during pregnancy or at sea), sinking, fits, cough; asthma bronchitis, consumption, also Children's complaints are effec- tually removed by DU BARRY'S DELICIOUS HEALTH RESTORING REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, which saves 50 times its cost in other remedies, auJ restores the faculty ot digestion, and nervous aud muscuUr energy to the most en- feebled.
