The Baner says that He knew but little of Walef, nnd had no sym- pathy with its people. He was a violent Tory, and was never better pleased than when belching forth threatenings and slaughter against Radicals and Dissenters. Although dead, we ctnnot help saying that, he was one of the greatest enemies of Wales. Kow that he is gone let him rest in peace!" The Werin (Saturday edition of the Genedl) speaks thus:— One of the most uncompromising enemies of Wales has gone to his resr, one who had a large store of bitterness in bis niture, which he poured over poor Wales. We do not pretend to shed tears over his grave. It is only fair, however, to state that he ppoke well of our country and its literature at the Ruthin Grammar School—his last public appearance."

(b) There was no nee-s -ity for4 this precaution, and Q to N 3 at once was stronger. (c) The sacrifice of the P, though actually suc- cessfu), is not sound. We believe 11 P to Q N 3 was the correct play, for if then 12 B takes N, 12 B P tukes B, and White dare not capture the K P on nccount of the r joinder, N to R 4.

Clearly, if N to N 2, Black would answer B takes P with an easily won game. (i) If 25 K to N sq, 25 R to 3 is also quite deci- sive.

Desperate Combat with a Jaguar. A desperate fight between a man and a ji. which recentlv tOJk place on the Demerara River. The hero of the combat, a black named Lallv David: on, a fanner, was out with his dog, which r>>u»ed a jaguar from its lair. The ferocious animal made tracks for the thick scrub, followed by Davidson and his dojj. Being closely pressed the jaguar climbed a iroe, where Davidson shot it, wounding it in the he"rt.. This made the animal descend, and again he dived into the bush, pursued by Davidson. The beast concsaled him- self in some brambks, and as D ividson was again trying to take aim the jagultr leaped upon him, kuockiug him bodily into a drain full of water. Davidson now engaged in a des- perate struggle with the fierce brute, and, seizing the jaguar, now somewhat exhausted from loss of blood, he exerted oli his strength, and managed to li dd his head under water until he was slowly suffocated. Hut before this the jaguar had severely wounded the courageous man; his hand was badly bitten, the scali) on the left side of his h(ad was partly ripped eff, and hi9 left eye was touged out. Suffering as he was, Davids >n elowly crawled home, and while he went into hospital sent his friends for the dead jaguar. The latter measured 5ft. llin. from bead tt) tail. Davidson, on whi se happy escape his friends warmly congratulated him, was slowlv recoviring when the last mail left Demerara.

LECTURE ON LEPERS IN Russik.-At the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association on Mon- day nf ernoon Miss Field gave a lecture cn Miss Kate Marsden's work amongbtthe lepers of Siberia. Considering the inclement weather, there was a good attendance. Mr. John Cory, J.P.. presided, and on the platform there were also Miss Field, the Revs. J. Morris, J. Knight, and Perry, and Mr. G. Hughes (secretary). After singing and prayer, Mr. Cory spoke briefly in intre JuctioiJ of Miss Fild, whom, be said, he had heard in London. There were hundreds of lepers in Russia and a very large additional number in Siberia. He was sure that they would listen with interest to Mis" Field, whose viiit to Cardiff would not be in vain if any of the young ladies of the town would volunteer to devote their services to God in like manner to Miss Field and Miss Kate Marsden. Miss Field then recounted her experiences and those of Miss Marsden jimongst the sufferers from leprosy. After inform- ing her audience of the manner in which Miss Marsden came to engage in the wurk, Miss Marsden having enlbted the sympathy and sup- port of the Russian lmpre", she went on to de- scribe the numbers of lepers in Russia, the Government of which countiy had ben exceed- ingly kind and helpful to Miss Marsden and herself. In Northern Siberia, she eaid, the climate and food were all against the people. Hardly anything could be got out of the land, and the principal food was a small fish, which had been proved to contain the germs "f hp osy. Enormous numbers of people suffered from that disease. The work of getting about in Siberia was extremely difficult, and interfered much with their intentions of helping the suffers. There was a great field for labour, and Miss Marsden prev.iiled upon her to go back to England to ask for assistance. They had done all they could to spread the Gospel, aud their work was beginning to bear fruit.. (Applause.) flie Rev. A. Tilly inov, d a vote of thanki; to Miss Field, and the Rev. J. Morris seconded the resolution, which was supported by the Chairman and carried unani- mously. Arrangements for subscriptions were made, and the meeting closed with the' Benediction.
