LoRD ROSEBERY S VIEW OF THE GENERAL ELECTION. Speaking at Searboreu^h en Friday, Lord RoBebery said the extreme gullibility ef the electorate constituted the surprise of last general election. The Conaerva- tl. es had premised employment to the Unemployed, pensions to those who wanted work, and to make the pint pet of the flJture to hold a quart. In fact, their pre- Sramme was that of Jack Cade. When the electors realised the limits of State-benevo- ence, and that the state was only a eollection of t»x-payers, a reaction would set in.

SWANSEA BOROUGH QUARTER SESSIONS. FRIDAY. A FISH-3IRI/S "BIRTJlDAY." Mary Ann liamsier (19), fish-hawker, was charged "ith unlawfully and maliciously cutting and wonuding Esther Jones, at bwan- sea, on the 7th August. The evidence which has already been published went to show that the prisoner threw a glass at the ceai- piainant in the Lower Lamb public-house. and cut her forehead. Mr Viliiers Meaner (instructed by Mr D. Beline) prosecuted. The aflair will be recollected us having been a melee which took place in the Lower Lamb pubhc-house. A number of girls were assembled, more or less iu a state of intoxi- cation. A fighu ensued between the defen- dant and prosacutrix, and the latter received injuries. The prisoner stated that the prosecutrix fell against the latch of the door and thus received her injuries. Prisoner was found guilty.-—Superintendent Jonee staled thaL she had been previously convicted of drunkenness and disorderly con- duet.—The learned Recorder characterised the eviiicnce ef the defence as a tissue of falsehood*. He hope i,hü police would take cognizance of the fact that such things eould happen a publie-houses. He sentenced the prisoner to three calender mouths' imprisonment. While the learned Recorder was delivering the sentence a man rose at the back ot the court and attempted to speak, but was peremptorily ordered by the Recorder to "sit down." When prisoner was senteuceu the burst Into weeping and called lowly for ''Mary Aune," I'M EFT OF NEWS PAPERS. Christopher David Stanbury, 16, labourer, pleaded guilty to a charge or obtaining by false pretences a parcel of newspapers, the property of Messrs W. H. Smith and Son, in. October.—Mr W. D. Becson, who prosecuted, said the prisoner met a boy named Morgan, who had the papers, and said he was bent for them bv the news- agent to whom they were addressed. As a matter of faet be had noihiag to do with the newsagent, and was not authorised to receive the papers. He afterwards said he was "tempted" to take the papers.—The learned Rocorder read cut some previous ceavictions against prisoner, who. according to Detective Griffiths, was in the habit of sleeping out, although he had a home to go te. On the re-assemb ing of the ceurt, the learned Recorder said the prosecution were net desirous of extreme punishment being inflicted, and he himself did not wish to be very severe. Unlortunaleiy a previous con- viction for stfc;.l had pi evented him dealing with the prisoner under the First Offenders' Act. lie must therefore pass bctiience, however, unwillingly, and Loped he would in future use hi: abilities to better purpose than ke seemed now to be doing. The sentence he wouid have to unaergo would lie the nowinal one of 7 days' im- prisonment with hard labour. HOOLIGAN'S IDEA OF FUN. WHAT IT LED TO, AND WHAT 1'HE 11B<J0KDBK THOUGHT. Patrick Burns, labourer, LlaHgyfeiach- street, Swansea, was iadicted for unlawfully wounding William Hooligan, labourer, Llaugyfelach-street, the well-known local pugilist, with a kniie in Quay-parade on the 15th inst. Mr Howell prosecuted.— Hooligan, in the course of his evidcncei said on the day in question he threw a lump of sand at prisoner in fun, and hit him ou the side of the faae. Prisoner came after him and ho ran oil. Whilst running he felt a blow in the baek, and in consequence of wkat another man Void him he I' took off his clothes, and 8"W blood on his waistcoat, at the shoulder. A chemist plastered the wound, which it seemed was ciene by a knif<>, and then he went to a doctor.—The Recorder: What did you hit him with the sand for 'i—Hooligan For fun. —The Recorder: A queer kiua oi jollity. He said to the magistrates that you were always putting on him. is that ae ? No, sir.—Did you tease bim ?—Yes, sir.—In wh;it way?— By whistling alter him,—For what?—For sport.— lou found he was easily aggravated ? Yes, sir.And you did it to aggravate him ?—Yes, sir.—When did you whistle after him before this day ? I aoii't know, liir.-A labourer named Kane described the throwing of the sand by Hooligan, aud said Burns threw something hack at hQoli- gan, who had started to run oil. Witness saw it was a itrnfe, for it stusk in .Hooligan's back and then fell te tha ground. i>urn>t picked it up again.—Poiice-^onstable Delve proved arresting the prisoner, who said, "He shouldn't threw xandm peop e's eyes." Witness produced the kuife with whioa it was alleged the wound was inuicted,—Dr. Soden said the wound was about lour inches below the shoulder-blade, on the right side, it was cotserieus. The development of the muscle had prevented the knife going in very far.—Tho learned Recorder, in bumming up, said the question of aggravation was not for the jury. They could only take into account seli-defence, which did noteuteri: to that case. The question for them was whether the prisoner inflicted the wound, and it would be lor him (tho recorder) to dea., with aggravation.—Prisoner reiterated his complaint about being tantalised.—The jury returned a verdict of guiitv, with a recom- mendation to mercy on account of the provo- cation received. -The learned Recorder said he concurred with tiic verdict, as there was no alternative. It appeared, however, that tUe proseouior had regularly teased and provoked the prisoner because he was a sensitive person. Tlio commonest feeling of manlinchs ought to be that a sensitive person should be the very last to provoke. He was quite (trilling to beiieve that the prisoner dia not anticipate what woukl happen when he threw the knife, but btili theie was in this country—and very properly so—a very strong 'feeling against having recourse to those weauons. Had the prisoner ckosen he might havo proceeded against Hooligan lor throwing the Hand. The prosecutor however, deserved very iitUu commiseration, knowing prisoner to be very sensitive he selected him us the victim of his cruel jokcu. He was bound to pass sentence, and he should give full effect to the jury's recommendation by sending pruouer te hard labour lor three weeks. ALMEGBD SHOPSRKAKlJiG BY YODTKf, Three young men, named Richard Daviea (16), Edward Evans (IS), and George Thomas (17), all labourers, were indicted for breaking into the shop of Charles Williams, Terrace- road, Mount PJeasant; and stealing tobacco to the .value of 3s. 6d. in beptember. Mr. U. H. Glascoditie prosecuted. During the reading of the statement Lvaus'a mother commenced to cry bitterly, and left the court.—The Recorder, ill summing up, said it hail not been Jl.:ade clear that livams and Thomas were there until they proved it themselves by their elaborate speeches and cross-examination. If the jury believed they broke the window and abstracted tke tobacco by a hand, a linger, or an instrument, they were guilty under the indictment. People a property must be protested, but they mu.t ke cautious lest they protected it by convict- iug persons on insufficient ¡.:roof.-Tno jury returned a verdict of not guilty, aud the prisoners were discharged, the resuit being received with applause. The court then rose, (.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A COLLIERY PROPRIETOR, POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS. RESUMED HEARING. THIS DAY. This (Saturday) morning at the Swansea Polica-court (beiore Messrs J. Coke Fowler, stipendiary; W. Walters, and J. C. Vye- Parminter) David Thotttas, colliery prc- prietor, living at Skctty, was brought up on remand ehtirged with siealing a. quantity of coal, value £ 32, the property of Richard Hodgens, on September 27. MrS. T. Evans (instructed by Mr C. W. Slater) appeared for tho prosecution, while Mr W. D. Benson (instructed by Mr Edwin Davies, of Messrs Davies and Ingram) defended. The first witness called was David Arthur Rees; goods agent and shipping superinten- dent in the employ of the Great Vvestern Railway at the Hast, North, and South Docks, stated that on tiae 14th September,four trucks of coal from Drim Colliery invoiced to the defendant arrived at the East Deck, and another four from Onilwyn on September 19th. Four were tipped on tne 27th to the order of Mr. Grillitli Thomas. In reply to Air Bensou he admitted that eoal sometimes comedown before the delivery order. A question arose as to a missing delivery order which was said to have been placed 011 the desk of Foreman Gould 011 the 20th September. Witness was questioned upon this point and stated that ho him- self searched for it where it was supposed to have been left, and that Gould searehtsd for it in his presence. Mr. Benson contended that for the purpose of Ao criminal prosecutien he was entitled to have the strictest evidence of a search having been made for the delivery order. The Stipendiary remarked that it did not appe&r to have been a very exhaustive search. Air. S. T, Evans claimed that it had been sufficient. The Stipendiary (to witness): Have you ever lest an order befortt; Witness: 1 have never known an order to be lost before, not for 20 years to my know- ledge. Mr. Bensen: That looks as if it had never been delivered at all. The Stipendiary: At present we think a sufficient foundation has been laid to allow evidence to be ealled as to the eontents of the missing document. Mr Benson: Very well; you will take a note that 1 object. Mr R. Hodgens was then sworn, and said I received a delivery order irom Mr. David Thomas on the 20tli. 1 read it. It was written on the Drim Coal Colliery a memorandum form. It read as follows: Please to deliver Mr. Richard HodgeBg eight wagons of Drim iar^e coal you now hold for me, and any more that may come down." I had the order 111 my hand and read it very carefully, It was addressed ] to the Great Western Railway Company, Swansea. In reply to Mr. Bensen: There were no numbers of the trucks on tt. He was perfectly certain of the writing on tho order, but eouid not say whether it was Air. Thomas signature or that of his clerk. Mr. Gavin Sutherland aud Mr. Edward Hodgens gave corroborative evidence. Mr Richard Tliemas, solicitor and managing clerk to Mr J. R, Richards, produced au agreement dated 26th September iu reference to Drim Colliery, signed by Mr Thomas, giving the mortgagees the right to take possession of the colliery. Air S. T. Evans: That is the case for the prosecution. Mr Benson then rose to address the court en behalf of the defendant. He said he ctid not know that he should address the court at all in this case were it not for the faci that. Mr Thomas had had a criminal charge hang- ing over his head ever since the summons was issued en the 10th October and it was only right that his versieu of the matter should be put beiore the bench and made public, as it would be now for the first time. He did net know that he should have addressed the court at all because he apprehended that a criminal case based on the evidence which had been brought before the court m this matter was an unprecedented criminal case. He did not remember ever to have heard ot a criminal easo in which the evidence amounted to nothing more than a sale by a man of his own goods which had previously, assuming for the moment that his case was against him, been started on transit to deliver to somebody else. Frequently in a civil court one knew ef an action tor breach of contract, for non-de- livery or for wrongfulstoppago in transit, but never had he before heard a case brought into a criminal court in which at the outside the evidence would go to shew that there had been a wrongful stoppage in transit. There- fore, he said, that he did not think that the law of England favoured a new application of old laws to transactions whicn were ef every day occurrence and it was not possible to render criminal a matter which has been habitually treated as eivii. He would have expected the /Jell-:ll to say, as a matter of course, that the matter was not one for a criminal court. Hut he wished to show them uot only that there was no criminal charge, but that if the evidence en both sides were heard there was no ground for action for a breach of contract. The advantage that his friend obtained by bringing the case into a criminal court was that in regard to all the transac- tions and negotiations which teek place between the prcfsecuter and defendant at the inlet-views the mouth of the defendant was closed and that of the prosecutor ww opeued; and as those inter- views had taken place on each occasion without any witnesses being present. The advantage to the prosecutor was, of course, that he was able to give his version ot the interview, and Mr Thomas's mouth was closed. He thought it required all the in- genuity and the subtlety of Mr Slaler, WHO is an ingenious man and a subtle man, 10 frame a charge of larceny on the facts that were THE DECISION. After the Bench had returned into court, the stipendiary said: This is a charge of larceny, and the question is whether the de- fendant should be committed for trial. In order to sustain the charge of larceny itis quite essential that the coal must be clearly proved to have been in the complete possession of the prosecutor at the time when it was take.) away. it now appears that the coal was at that time held by the u. W.U. Company, and that they knew nothing of a delivery order for the defendant to Mr Hodgens, and continued to hold the coal to the order of Mr Thomas, the defendant, who subsequently gave them an order in favour of Mr Griff Thomas. Accord- ing to the evidence, Mr. Hodgens had never seen the coal or in any way taken it out of the iegal possession of the railway company, Lnder these circnmstanees we cannot say in ihe nature of the statuto governing these proceedings that there is sufficient evideitce io put the defendant on his trial, and he will be discharged, The decision which was evidently a popular one was received with applause in court, which was at once quelled.

THE STEAMSHIP ASAMA. NO CLAIM FOR SALVAGE MADE. MESSRS. T. P. RICHARDS AND CO. DISPOSE OF AN INJURIOUS REPORT. TO THE EDITOR 0 THK "DAILY POST." SIP.,—In this weeks issue or the Cambrian we notice a paragraph to the effect that a claim is being made by a Swansea tug-boat owner on tha owners of the Asama, ilie steamer which recently brought a cargo ef wheat to Swansea from India.. The para- graph refers to the steamer as the "Assam," but as no steamer of that name has been here at all, and the only steamer from Inuia is the Asama, we, of course, conclude this is simply I a printer's error. The writer of the article expresses himself as sorry that the advent of such a large boat should unfortunately be followed by a claim lor assisting her Qut of an alleged dangerous position, and we quite agree that such a cir- cumstance is calculated to reflect very seriously ou the reputation of our port, but the object of this letter is to say that we, as agents of the Asama, havo heard nothing whatever ef either a claim for tugboat assis- tance or, what is more important, of any circumstance having arisen that could give the least grounds for such a claim. We also have communicated with the owner, who confirms this. On the other hand, it may not be out of place to remark that the owner expressed himself personally to the writer last week as being perfectly satisfied with the way in which the ship was handled at Swansea, including the operatiou of shifting from the Prince of Wales Dock to the North Dock, so that the port has certainly net suffered in reputation. The captain has alsu written a letter express- ing the pleasure he i'elt a.t the general assist- ance which he received on all hands in con- duct of the ship's movements and business, and adds tliat he wiP be very glad if on another occasion ha is ordered wifch he ship to Swansea. Our competitors up Channel are always very glad of an opportunity ef disparaging Swansea as a port, consequently any suck difficulty as that suggested by the Cambrian will be eagerly seized upon. We, tl;ere;ore, think our local press might pay a little more attention to matters at the docks, and show that the largo steamers—whose owners are gradually getting to look mere favourably on us — are handled in a manner creditable to any port in the kingdom. For eur part we are continually getting large boats her? for bunkers in prefereuee te up-Channel ports, with the result that after trying the port oneo they come again.—Believe us, yours truly (for T. P. Richards & Co.), W. TURPIN, Manager of the Shipbroking Department. Gloucester House, Swansea.

SUNDAY CLOSING AT YSTALYFERA, NUMEROUS COMPANY WATCHED BY A POLICEMAN. At the Pontardawe Petty Sessions on Friday, Evan GlIpe, David Thomas, Evan Morgan, John Williams, Thomas Morris, ¡ Hees Powell, and Samuel Brace, were all summoned for aiding and abetting Elizaboth Davies, Cwnitawe, Ystalyfera, in the sale of liquor ou unlicensed premises on the 25th of August. P.O. Llewellyn said ho watched the defendants through a window for about an hour and a. half, and saw the landlady supply them with drink from a tin jug. They ail drank one after the other from the same glass. The landlady told the defen- dants that there was a policeman watching them, and several of them said, Let him eome in and we will soon make short work of him." When he (witness) got inside the house he found 26 empty beer bottles, four spirit bottles, and a large tin jug and some tumblers on the table.—P.C. Sims corrobo rated.—The defendants were each fined 20s. including costs.—At the previous hearing the defendant, Elizabeth Davies, was fined £10.

"DELIGHTFUL" TREATMENT FOR CURLNG CORPULENCE. The process of curing any physical dis order is so generally the converse of delightful" that the use and similar terms in reference to Mr F. C. Russell's now popular treatment for corpulency naturally attracts special attention. These terms are to be found in a large number of letters included in the just-issued 18th edition of Mr Russell's little volume of 256 pages, "Corpulency and the Cure" (Woborn House, Store-street, Bedford Square, London, W.C.) These communications are from persons of both I sexes, and it is apparent that their number is represented by thousands annually, who have found in this system of treatment a safe, rapid and permanent cure for excessive fatness. This testimony forms in the agg«- gate, indeed a wonderful record of rapid re- duction of excessive adipose tissue, and those who have personal reasons for being interested in the subject should send to the above address six penny stamps for a copy (post free) of Mr Russell's notably suggestive lutle book. "I think the treatment most delightful," writes one out of a large number equally euthusiastic correspondents. And the expressions''Admirable tonic" "Splendid stuff" "A delicious beverage mixed with mineral water," are of constant recurrence 111 this singularly-interesting correspondence. The details given by many of the writers of The details given by many of the writers of tLese letters as to the results of the treatment fully jus:ilicH the use of such eulogistic phrases. It must certainly be delightful to experience the sensation of losing unnecessary and dangerous fat by pounds per week and frequently by stones per monlh, that by aid of treatment which simultaneously increases the appetite and renders it reasonably in- jdulgence innocuous, The experience, too, mus t besfilt more delightful by the know- ledge, which may be gained from a perusal of Mr Russell's book, thai his preparation is a pure vegetable product, without any Ild- mixtureofthe poisouswhicharetoo frequently administered. With a candour which also is delightful, Mr Russell prints in his book the recipe for the preparation. 128w

SWANSEA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING SOCIETY. "NO CONFIDENCE" IN THE TORIES. Mr. Speaker Farr took his seat on the "woolsack for the first time this session on Friday evening at the Albert Minor Hall, the occasion being the re-assembling of the Swansea Parliamentary Society. This is the dull season, and the political fir- mament is cloudless. Political jargon is as much out of season as goose- berries iu January and snow-storms in July. This was obvious last night, The attendance fell far below expectations. Still basking is the beams of the lust election it was within the natural order of things that the Unionists should be jubilant, and braced by recollcctions of victory, whilst the other side was limping with the lameness of defeat. The Unionists out-numbered the Radicals by nearly two to OBC. The preliminary husiness took the form of an election of officers, honours being bestowed as follows :—Speaker, Mr. W. T. Farr; ehairman of committees, Àjr. C. H. Perkms; treasurer, Mr. Leaver; clerii of tho house, Mr. T. O. Meager. It will thus be seen that all of last year's officers were re-elected. The Speaker appropriately acknowledged the distinction conferred upon him, stating that he would always ao his utmost to uphold and preserve the*dignity of the house. The occupants of the ''strangers'gallery'' —they were net numerous-Ílad been dis- interested up to this point, but there was quite a tiutter in all parts when the Speaker caiiod upon the hon, member fer Merioneth (Mr J. C, Edwardes Morgan), tl9 move his resolution, Vilo, That the present Government is no longer deserviug of the confidence of this country.' We do not propose to follow Mr. Morgan in his address—interesting as it was. At the outset he said be was in the position of a preacher who had nothing to preach about. lie criticised the Government's "inactivity" andattitadeim regard te the occupation of Chitral,—The resolution was seconded by Dr. Stephens.—The hon. member for the Car- marthen Boroughs (Mr, David Davies) opposed the resolution, as alse did Mr. David Seiine, and the right hon. member for Rochester (Mr C. H. Perkins) and the hon. member for Gower (Mr B. T. Thomas) supported. — The division resulted in a majority voting ill favour of the resolution, which the speaker bad to declare" carried." This was a bit of policy on the part of the Unionist*, who prefer being in opposition as they consider that a successful session is more likely with the Liberals in power. The Liberals objected to this undue kindness on the part of their opponents, and the position was further com- plicated by Mr David Davies proposing Mr. C. H. Perkins as Prime Minister. This led to a great deal of discussion, and it looked at one time as if the dignity of the House was in danger; but a soft word turned away wrath and the Speaker supplied it in the shape of a. suggestion that the Liberal party should meet during the week and decide upon a policy. This sugges- tion was adopted and the House rose at 10 p.m.

SHALL LEVEL CROSSINGS BE ABOLISHED. The danger incurred by foot passengers and railway servants at leve1 crossings raises from time to time the question whether, after all, level erossings,oc places where the high road intersects the railway track, ought not to be abolished, and a bridge or subway made obligatory. A danger of quite another kind than that of passing trains, and from which a signal- man's wife had lately a fortunate escape, has just been investigated by the Bridgivater Mercury, and Airs Lane, Cokesley Level Crossing, near Weil, Somerset, told all about it. Her danger arose in the first place from a very simple cause—a fit of indigestion; but it entailed twenty years of suffering, from which she has only lately been relieved. She was so ill all to be totally unable to proform her household duties, bbe had also spasmodic attacks two or three times a week, which left her so weak in her head that her memory was affected and she could remember scareiy any- thing—in fact she was so ill and suffered so acutely from the three combined causes— indigestion, liver complaint, and spasms— that her life was a perfect misery. She was obliged to warn her husband siie was going to die; the neighbours also thought siie could not possibly live. She was attended by a ery skilful dector, but his treatment iaiied te cure her or to remove her sufferings. The escape from this danger came a twelvemonth age, so that theie can be no doubt of its permanancc. Mrs Lane, when she despaired of her life, 1 aopened to read of the marvellous cures affected by Dr. Williams' Pi:T5 Pills for Pale People, and. happily, decided to try them. When she had taken tho fourth box she experienced considerable relief,and after she had continued taking them ror a short time there was a wronderfui change in her condition. The indigestion and wind spasms disappeared, she ceased to be troubled with her liver, and the neighbours were surprised and startled at the change. For tome time past she had been able to eat "almost anything," as sho herself put it, with- out the least unpleasant consequence. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis have cured many canes of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism neuralgia, St. Vitus'dance, nervous headache, and prostration; diseases of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c., restore pale and sallow complexion to the glow of health, are a specific for all tho troubles peculiar to the ieinalc sox, and 111 men cure all cases aritiing from worry, overwork, or excesses. They arc aoid by all chemists, and by Dr. Williams' Aiedieine Company, 46 Holborll-viaduct, London, at Zs. 9d. a box. or six for 138. 9d.

HEALTH OF MRTWT H. GWYNN, SATURDAY. Mr. W. H. Gwynn passed a fair night, and was much better this morning. ¡

LOCAL SITTINGS. --+- It is stated that Mr Haldane, Q.C., M.P., will pay a visit to Neath en the 23rd inst. Mr WiM. Rees, Penrhiwforgan, Morriston, has in his garden an apple tree bearing a second crop. The fruit are about the size of walnutf. At the quarterlv meeting of the Breron- shire County Council on Friday Mr Rees Charles, of Swansea, was appointed public analyst for the county of Brecon. "The Home Secretary will be patronised next week by Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, M.P., and Sir John Jones Jenkins, N.P. Usually its the other way round—the Home Secretary patronises M.P.'s. At Siioam Schoolroom, Pentre Estvll, Master J. Daniel Lewis was the recipient of a presentation from the Sidney-street choir as a token of their approval and satisfaction at his obtaining the Recitation Competition at the Llanellv National Eisteddfod, I The DaVy Graphic says:—"A special word of praise is due to Mr Bropiiy for his excellent singing as WaHher." Mr Brophy's signal suceess in his first appearance in grand opera at Coveat Garden is a. source of much gratification to his numerous admirers at Swansea. I At the quarterly meeting of the Llansamlet Parish Council, held on Thursday evening. Mr D. Morris presiding, tenders were received for the widening and repairing of certain footpaths, that of Mr Thomas Rees for £18 9s 3d being accepted. Leave of absence was granted to the clerk for two months. A correspondent, who s'.ates that he is acting for 60 ratepayers in the Landore Ward, is anxious that an effort should be made to induce Air. W. J. Lambrick to contest the Landore Ward, as a working-man candidate, against Mr. Freeman. Those favourable to the idea are asked to attend a meeting at the Brynhyiryd Baptist School- room on Tuesday eveniog next, so that a deputation may be appointed to wait upon Mr. Lambrick. Mr David Randell, M.P.. is not convinced that the Gower light railway scheme will prove remunerative to the investors without State guarantee for profits. The only practi- cable and profitable scheme, he coniided to a Cambrian representative, would lie to get some of the large landowners to subsidise, or, at any rate, help, an extension of the London and North Western Railway to heynoldstona, making that village the metropolis, as it were, ef Gower. The Swansea police authorities have just completed investigations into a case of alleged cruel treatment of children by a father at Foxhole. In the course of the next few days the results will probably reveal themselves in proceedings against, the father. If the statements made by the neighbours are trustworthy, it is full time that action were taken. Mr Joseph Mayberrv, Llanelly, writes to a Cardiff contemporary correcting the obviously wrong statement that if all the American tin-plate works were in full swing their annual make would be only 1,000000 to 1,500,000 boxes. The manager of the Old Castle Works encloses a cuttiDg from the Metal Worker showing that there are 159 completed mills in the States, and 24 in the course of construction. One hundred and eighty three mills would have a productive capacity of 5,800,000 boxes a year. The Rev. Morris Morgan, in a letter to a contemporary, contends that Mr. Marehant Williams was wrong in stating that the tem- perance movement was on the decline in Wales. JiI have watched the movement for neady thirty years," be observes, and I can fearlessly assert that never except during short periods of temperance excite- ment—has there been such a healthy public opiuien as at present, and the South Wales Temperance Association during the last ten years has done more than double the werk of any preceding decade during the period of my observation. In connection with the dedication festival held last week at bt. David's Church, Morriston, a public meeting, for men only, was held at the Parish Hall on Wednesday evening, when addresses were given on behalf of the E.C.U. by the Hon. Aubrey Vivian and Mr .18.. N. Miers; on behalf of the brotherhood of St. Andrew by Messrs. S. P. Yorath and W. H. Fursmann (Swansea); and on behalf of the guild by the Let. H. J. C- Jones (Brecon). The chair was occupied by the Rev. D. Watcyn Morgan, and there was a large attendance to bear the interesting discourses. The learned Recorder, at fife close of the quarter sessions 8n Friday, addressing the reporters, said he wished to call attention to a notice that appeared in one of the papers, beaded "Boy Burglars at Swansea." He would only say that the expressions used, inadvertently no doubt, were calculated to prejudice a person on his trial, and was sure he had only need to call attention to that fact, and point out the danger ef that I sort of thing, although most admirably meant, for it to be avoided in the future. Addressing the police, he said he pronounced no opinion upon an allegation that had been made that witnesses to that court were sub- ject to violence in the streets. All he eould say was that nothing more disastrous to the administration of justice could happen, and it ought not to be possible in a town like Swansea. He hoped the police would test the truth of the alle- gation by sitting the matter thoroughly. It weuld be intolerable if people coming there to give evidence were liable te he assaulted Superintendent Jones said an application on the point was to be made to the bench on Saturday, and Detective Griffiths said the police were already moving in the matter. On Thursday evening the Sunday school teachers and choir of St. Catherine's Church, Melincrythan, held their usual quarterly social tea, when upwards of a hundred young people sat down at the tabies. which were presided ever by Mrs.. Hosbons, Mrs. Jno. James, Mrs. Godfrey Thomas, the Misses Thomas (Pancaerau), Miss Thomas, Miss Harries, and Miss Jones. Tea over, ail ad- journed to the infants' room, where s most enjoyable programme was gone through; and the Rev, J. R. Hosbons, curate-in-charge, presented a beautiful Bible and Prayer Book with hymns to Mr. John Megford, one of the scholars of the Sunday school, who has just commenced his studies at the University College, Cardiff. They were presented as a ¡ mark of esteem from the teachers and friends of the bunday school. Mr. Hosbons I' then called upon Mr W. P. Venables, the able choir-master, to present a similar Bible, and a beantifullv-bound hymn-book with tunes, to Mr William Evans, a faithlul n-ember of St. Catherine's choir, who has just removed to Barry. Bath recipients suitably replied. Master Percy Hosbons, Mr D. J. James, and Mr W. P. Venables, rendered songs, which were encored. Among the friends were Mr. A. Lowe aud Mr. Curtis, the latter of whom contri- buted to the evening's amusement by his assistance at the pianoforte. Miss G. Haines and Mr. H. H. Hosbons also played for the songs. A most enjoyable evening was brought to a close by the singing of the 1 [ K National AjiUieau" A

FOOTBALL. SWANSEA V. LAMPETER. I The Lampeter College team were the visitors at the It, Helen's ground to-day, but at Lile time announced for the game to begin scarcely 1.000 people were present. Of course a large proportion of these were parsons. This fact, coupled with the interesting announcement made by the Swansea Com- mitteo by the medium of the posters, to the effect tl1;t the police had orders to remove any person using unseemly language, bordered on the humorous. The teams were as foHows SwA.x?KA.Bank, W. J. Dancrof threequaiters, II, Mills, W. Griffiths, W. Crocker, and R. Messer halves. F, Morgan and Owen; forwards, A. M. Jenkin (caPt.), It. S. Jeukin, S.

Jones; forwaids, D. A, Davies, D, livans, M. A. Thomas, ¥. Williams, H. D, Kees, D. M. Jones, T. Hopkins, and D. Thomas. It was half an hour after the advertised time when Lampeter started, Swansea playing at the town end. Griffiths re- turned into touch at the centre, and irm the lino ouL a succession of scrums ensued, the All Whites gaining about 10 vards. A run by the Lampeter captain took play hack to the centre, and Crock.-r and Metisers by passing tool. play to the visitor's end again. Then Griffiths, one of the Lam- peter halves, dribbled prettily over the half- way line, and A. M. Jeniun came in with an equally clever dribble. Rushing a scrum, the All Whites further increased their advantage, but Jorei;, tiie college cus- todian, saved from the attack of the Swansea pack. Bancroft returned, and play settled in the College 25, where Messer nearly go in, but at the critical moment preBsep widely. 'HALF-TIME SCOILE Swansea—1 goal 2 tries. Lam petcr-N il.

MORRISTON V. LLANELLY. For the first time this season the Morris- toniuns faced the famous Scarlet Runners at Morristcn this afternoon. In view of the fact that Llancily has been doing so remarkaoly well this season, there was mere than an ordinary amount of interest centred in the fixture, hundreds of Swansea people forsaking their" ain midden at St. Helen's in order to witness what promised to bo a more exciting encounter than Swansea v. Lampeter. The weather was perfect in the sight of footballers, and the ground has never been in better condition. Of course* the odds ruled in lavour of Llaneily, but it never was a foregone conclusion to the extent of a certain win, the Morrietan men being proverbially a stiff lot on their own ground. The Llanelly men, although not so heavy as their opponents, more than ) made up for this deficiency by their I wonderful smartness all round, a quality which has really enabled them to win every match this season. Botb teams were fully ) represented and turned out composed as follows: MORKISTOX.—Back, Saunders; threequarters, Harry Rees, Jere Edwards, Thissen, and Tom White; half- backs, Ross 7'hoiaas and Ivor Grey; forward?, Tom Roberts, D.

THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. FOREST AND WORCESTER WORKS Owing to the scarcity of steel bars four mills have been idle at the Forest for the past fortnight, and four more stopped on Friday. To-day (Saturday) the whole ef the 2hL mills at these works came to a standstill owing to the same cause.

FIRE AT GORSEINON. The premises of Mr Maim, boot and shoe maker, of High-street, Gorseinon, were dis- covered to be 00 fire at three o'clock on Friday morning. It was found that the flames had broken out in the workshop in the rear ef the premises, fortunately there was a good supply of water at hand, and in a short time the flames were got under, although not before a considerable amount of damage had been done to the stoek. Fortu- nately, the building, which was also conside- rably damaged, is partially, if not wholly, insured.

DOCK ACCOMMODATION AT SWANSEA. PRINCE OF WALES DOCK TO BE EXTENDED. We learn on the highest possible authority that it has been decided by the Swansea Harbour Trust to proceed with the extension of the Prince of Wales Dock almost immediately. The expenditure proposed te be incurred in the important work will be covered by no less a sum than £ 70,000 or thereabouts, and, sub- ject to minor details which it is practically certain will be arranged without any diffi- culty, the contract will be placed in the hands of Sir Charles Jackson. The above expenditure will not be borne by the Harbour Trust alone, but will be shared by the various companies who have trading interests in the j' port of Swansea.

SWANSEA TRADESMAN'S CREDIT ACCOUNT. At the Leicester Quarter Sessions on Wed* nesday Arthur Simpson, described as It draper's assistant, formerly earrying on busi- ness in Oxford-street, Swansea, was indicted on a charge of obtaining 30 dozen of hesa from Ernest 1 ouiston Heard with intent to deiraud aim at Great Wigston, Leicester, on April 20tb last. Mr. Toiler, who appeared foi- tlic, prosecution, stated that the prisoner pretended that he was carrying on business at Oxlord-street, Swansea, as a mer- chant and manufacturing draper, and iL was on that representation, as shown in a pre- tentions note heading, that prosecutor was induced to supply JlIIn with the goods. Aftepi. wards inquiries were made, ana it was then found that both the name given and the busi- ness were of a fictitious character. Mr Disney, who appeared for the defence, submitted that there was no evidence whatever to support the indictment after the prosecutor's state- ment that iL was en the promise of cash pay- ment the goods were sent. There was no false pretence in that promise. The chairman directed the jury that their only course afwr what the learned counsel had stated, was to finct a verdict of not guilty.
