JUBILEE SKETCHES ARTICLE XYHL THE COMMERCIAL GROWTH flE MAESTEG. No. L By Our Special Commissioner. Mr. c. R. M. Talbot, M.P. for Mid-Glamorgan and Lord-Lieutenant of the county, in laying the Memorial stone of the Maesteg Town-hall in the 1880, said that his first visit to Maesteg was 70vears ago, and he believed that the only live Cteatures he then saw were a couple of ravens P«rvhed on an old oak tree, and they croaked at kits as if they had never seen a human being before." At the time referred to by Mr. Talbot \here was no Maesteg, not even the lelbblance of a small village. It is true there fIoere three farm-houses bearing the euphonious Ilatnes of Upper, Middle, and Lower Maesteg, and theae, with a few isolated dwellings on pasture were the only habitations in the Llynvi Valley where Maesteg is now situate. The Llynvi "ould then be a o wide, well-wooded valley, '"closed on oil sides except the southern by BtaduuUy sloping hills, with a few cornfields in ta, lowest parts. The name of "Llwyni," by "hich Maesteg was known to the old inhabitants, ltIans "woods." and the present names Of certain parts of the valley prove the arborescent appearance it then I)ad-O.Y., II Cwln Cerdrn (Rowan or Mountain Ash Glen), "PonLrhydycyff" (Hazel-ford-bridge). Cwm ^aat-y.Qwial," fee. There are several inhabitants nf the town now living who well remember the Plantation" near the railway station, where ;hore are now several villa residences, who re- ember the principal street of the town (Com. ^eicial-street) as an old tramway lined on both 44es by fine, healthy young oak trees, and who Member when the sites of the other principal Greets and chief public buildings were fer- tile meadows. Strange to say, the most striking feature in the physical character of the valley now is the absence Of wood and luxuriant vegetation. Houses now 'tand where the fuiza "unprofitable gay" formerly flourished, and fertile fields have been transformed into streets and thoroughfares. Maesteg is in the tsrish of Llangynwyd, which is ecclesiastically one parish, but parochially four hamlets. The town of Maesteg is in three of the hamlets-vir;" 'rodu, Llangynwyd Higher, and Llangynwyd Middle, and, according to the census of 1681, it had Population of about 10,000. Mr. Talbot, M.P., Violated the population to consist of 12,000 per- ions in prosperous times. 4s the different industries of Maesteg have 2r4wn together this population, it may not be out .t place to begin this sketch by a brief outline of ill, progress of the different works. During the P*8t 50 years two extensive ironworks, a most nourishing tin-plate works, and a spelter works **ve been erected, and several collieries have been ned. As early as the year 1798 three brothers the name of Jones, viz., Thomas, Charles, and William, came from Abergavenny to the neigh- borhood with the view of opening ironworks, fhomaa Jones leased the Llwyni Farm off Llewelyn Dafydd, at an annual rent of E100. He W80 leased C*\ rt-y-Mwnws in 1822 off John liopkin. In 1324 an attempt was made to form a eluipanyfor the erection of ironworks, but the death of Thomas Jones and his brother Charles ^•layed matters. However, William, the surviving rother, with a company consisting of Messrs. uckland, Rushel, Moteley, Bitcliild, and others, ted operations in the year 1826,and in the month of September, 1828, iron was smelted in the first ItirnRee erected in the "Old Works." The second IQrnace was in full operation three years later, in 1845 the third furnace was erected. The ldneSlell Ironworks or Old Works were suc- Cessful for some years, but eventually stopped, ,and the worka were bought by the Llynti Coal and Iron Company (Limited). This company were nlready large employers of labour in the valley, or they erected the Llynvi Ironworks, the first 'furnace being built in lb39 and the second in 1840. the forge and rolling mill in the" New Works," as the Llynvi Works were styled, were opened in 1846, iuld in 1849 the guide mill-one of the finest in 30uth Wales-was started. At one time in Muesteg *ven smelting furnaces, 54 puddling furnnces, kod six mills were in active operation. These, Jertainly, were "the good old times," for in this Jubilee year, sad to say, all are idle, and the poor lton,workers and their families have suffered Woefully. Others may rejoice in the Jubilee the language of the poor, unemployed Puddler at Maesteg .is, Each song of joy has got S°rne mournful turn for me." Matters are more ,eer'ng in the lower part of the town, where 5s an extensive tin-pUte works. The Llwyd- Tin-plate Works, started in 1868 by Messrs. D. iare-v. T. Thomas, W. Williams, and others, low one of the largest and most cceSSfuI in South Wales. There has been a 6ht change in the company since its forma- liOb, but the works continue to progress, for there "0 now five mills, and the erection of a Siemens '^elworks is in contemplation for supplying the *ith steel bars. It is worthy of mention polished Russia sheets have been exclusively here lor about two years, the manu- •cturers being the sole patentees. During the 8t fifty years four important pits have been hunk in the valley, vii., Garth, Oakwood, d yffryn^ and Coegnant. Dyffryn is aban- otied. The others are working. Most of 9 Coal in Maesteg, however, has been forked by levels, and all have turned out more or ess successfully, but only the upper seams are us worked. The immense mineral wealth of Llynvi Valley is almost untouched, notwith- standing the ftlet that companies have worked here for years. Mr. Tnlbot staled recently that he t' One believed in the future of this place. In his apinioll "it would be one of the largest and most 814cces8ful places in Glamorgan when other places h'<J gone down." The Messrs. John Brogden and ^°&8 were large employers of labour here at one f.i&u¥. In 1846 they worked Ty with Colliery, and Cwmdu and Garth Collieries. In ■2 Messrs. Brogden bought the whole of the ,I'nvi Collieries and Ironworks, and these were '^lgamated with the collieries at Ogmoreandthe l01 Works and colliery at Tondu. The style of the ew company formed by Mr. A. Brogden was the ynvi.'Xondu, and Oguiore Coal and Iron Com- r^y (Limited). This amalgamation continues, the Messrs. Brogden are out of the concern, the internal communications of Maesteg and its Accessibility are still but fair, although far 14N4or to what they were in 1826, when old tramway was opened between aostig and Porthcawl. In those days any of the people of the "hen bh.)'t' 13 the parishioners of Ll<tnscynwyd were then SaUed, wanted to go anywhere other than by the tOOd old-fashioned mode of walking, they had to Jt-tt before dawn, and would be home about mid. Llgllt- In 1861 the LIynvl and Tondu Railway tite old tramway. The line was worked for three years as a mineral railway only. Then a Olngle conch was attached to luggage trains for ^a»«engers. In a short time two coaches were thus attached, and included compartments for the Us- ;aal first, second, and third class passengers. At "tst there were but three stations, viz., Maesteg, l'utidu and Bridgend. Llangynwyd was afterwards Qeù, then Garth and Tywith. The Ogmore "Uwity was joined to the Llynvi, under style of the Llynvi and Ogmore Railway "s8enjjer trains ran subsequently, and the traffic '0 increased that four trains were run daily and on Saturdays, as at present. The line was first orlred on the broad gauge system; then there all a mixed gauge, and in 1870 the line was ^^nged to narrow gauge. In 1873 the Llynvi and ^fcoaore Railway was amalgamated with the Great Railway, and is now worked by that com* There are now nine mineral trains ar.d ,p PaSs^nger trains going daily from Maesteg. line hns recently been extended to Cymmer, *ubsequently to Abergwynfi, which is now tet-ininus, and where the Great Western Railway ^Pany have sunk two extensive pits.

WRUTLING GOATS. A New York gentleman was out bunting in the Sierras with an old hunter. The Rocky Moun- tain goats are roightv keerful," said the hunter. "While they are feeding they put out a sentinel, and if that goat sees or smells anything suspicious he makes a low, whistlin' sort of a noise, and they are out Ot sight in less than no time," and the old Leather Stockings put his finger to his mouth and whistled. "I weally had no idea," said the New Yorker, that a goat could bend his fore-leg so as to get his hoof up to his mouth to whistle in that way." TSS OLD MAN'S STRATEGY. A fond pareut heard his daughter and her sweet- heart plan an elopement. The next day the old man waited upon the latter, and addressed him thus: "You are a fine brave youth, aud I don't object to you for a son-in-law. Here's a hundred to aid in the elopement. May you live happy in the same house, and may no accident occur to throw the least shade on the sunshine of your life. All I request is that you elope with my daughter—she's a mighty fine eirl, you know but somehow her mother and I could never travel smoothly with her; we don't know her good points; elope with her to such a distance that she won't return to her loving father and mother any more. Good-bye, sonny, and may you be happy." there was an elopement that evening of one. The young man went unaccompanied. He thought everything could not. be entirely right when the old man was so anxious to get rid of thegiri The father looks upon his act as a very neat bit of strategy. ADJOOFINED FOB A DRINK, The other day a Macon man was summoned to appear before a justice court in an outlying dis- trict. He and his lawyer and the lawyer for the plaintiff, the latter being a non-resident trusting to his attorney, got in a cab and drove out to the precinct." Arrived there, court was duly opened. The magistrate sat on an upturned orange box, with the counter of a country store for his desk defen- dant sat on an apple barrel, one attorney appro- priated a nail-keg, and the other stood up. The caae proved to be a very knotty one. All had a drink before they began, and on the way defendant had produced a Í1'Hk'" from which he and the young limbs had both imbibed moderately. This was all the liquor there was at the grounds, and so en- grossing were tlie proceedings that one, two, three hours passed rapidly away. It would have offended the solemn dignity of the court to have taken a drink during the proceedings. The court and defendant were both dry. The lawyers' argu- ments were of the most didactic sort, and the drouth was terrible. The defendant made several motions to suspend, but the lawyers ignored them, and each followed the other ii discussion. At last defendant begged the court to excuse him, as he had an important business engagement to fill in the city. "You're excused, sir," said his Honour. In that case," said plaintiff's lawyer, interrupting defendant's counsel in the midst of » harangue, "1 move we adjourn, for defendant's got all the whisky there is in a mile of here." THE lIfAN AND THE ttBN. R. J. BURDETTE. Your mission is to uiake the world about you a little brighter and happier, If you haven't thought of any other way of doing this, permit me to sug- gest, if you have a little place in the country, that you should keep hens. By all means keep hens. I don't keep any myself I am rather fond of easy missions, but my neighbour does, and the amount of sunshine that man throws across my dailv path would be haid to estimate. Many an hour that would otherwise drag heavily away is lightened with smiles by the amusing, and at times thrilling and exciting, drama of The Man and the Hen." To watch him come out of the house to drive an old brown hen into the hennery—I made up my mind that she was an old imbecile the first time J saw her fly up on the fence to Jay an egg-to note the delicate slmdings of thought, and action, from easy, graceful confidence to sober earnestness, thence into calmness, then to seriousness that deepened into dead earnestness, which passes into deep-rooted and eteruui resolution, with indication^ of conscientious indignation, giving place to irri- tability and human anger, which in turn and at last sweeps away into one wild, chaotic cyclone of blind and destructive wrath that darkens the April day with bricks, clods, and other language, aa tlie old brown hen, a magnificent blur of squawks and feathers, goes banging with a cloud of dust into every door nnd window of the reservation except the one to which her attention is being most earnestly directed-to sit at the casement of my lair and watch this instructive drama of life and its varied possibilities, is reading one of these dear, old, ever-new hooks that we love. Most of my neighbour's hens uppear to be feeble-minded-vet-y few hens are intellectually strong—but at time, they display the cunningof tlio;tn.,Inittc. Especially is this apt to be the case when they have succeeded in reducing their nominal master to the condition of one. Yesterday my neighbour discovered a loose board on the back of his hennery, creating on ajustahle aperture through which the restless fowls found egress into this world of care and trouble and early gardens. While he nailed on the board the entire crew of hens walked sedittely out of the door on the other aide which he had left open. A general al.rm was sounded, and the man's whole family at last corraled the maudlin crew in the hennery. Then they walked quietly out of the aperture of the loose board, which he had left ajar. No, I do not wish you could have heard what he said. Indeed, I am glad you did not. I did not hear it ijayseif. He was too far away. I could see his mouth going, but I could hear no s..und. I knew what he was saying all the time, because I used to say it myself. Oh! yes, I have kept hens. I once, in radiant, hopetui days. builded a hennery, saying within myself, "There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his looul enjoy good in his labour." And when the last sun of that year set on the disheartening record of weasais, pip, cholera, rats, red spiders, gapes, cats, predatory freedmen, bumblefoot, and minister's conference, I evicted the cluster of omnivorous appetites that wandered about the place in the guise of liens, devouring my substance and all adjacent substance that hap- pened to be left anywhere within fifty feet of the ground; turned the abandoned hennery into a preserve for coal, which was the dearest thing then in the market, and "looked on all the works that mv hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do, and behold all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the 9un."

"The Stowaway" at the Cardiff Theatre. Tom Craven's highiy-auccessful comedy drama, "The Stowaway," was placed at the Cardiff Theatre on Monday evening, before a crowded and enthusiastic audience. Dramatic incidents of a sterling character are crowded into the five sicts which constil ute the play. The comedy element is supplied with no stinting hand, and the drama, enacted as it is by un excellent company, completely held the attention of its audience throughout the evening. Miss Lucy Vivian both dresses and acts well, and Miss Louie Scott takes the part of Cltuekey-a lively urchin-wilh great success. Miss Laura Selton was also interesting as Flortnct Ethtrington, a much ill-used lady. Mr. Charles E. Dering as Tom Invli. was very effective, and Mr. Robert Nelson, an old Cardiff faVourite, literally con- vulsed the liousti with merriment in his character of Dickey JHals, a faithful follower of Inglis. Mr. William Stuart impersonated the Villain of the piece with much ability, and the test of the cha- racters were in competent hands. The piece is excellently staged, and reflects great credit On the management.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The American Labour Party and Mr. O'Brien. L" TIMES TELEGRAM.] PHILADELPHIA, SUNDAY. Mr. William O'Brien yesterday received a depu- tation from the New York Tammany-hall Demo- crats, who presented him with an address, to which he briefly replied. The Labour party, in combination with the Irish societies, had prepared a demonstration in his honour for yesterday evening, but Mr. O'Brien declined to attend. He objected to the choice of Mr. John M'Mackin as chairman, because Mr. M'Mnckin was identified with the Irish physical force faction, and also to the resolutions intended to be adopted, because they endorsed Father M'Glynn's and also Mr. Henry George's land theories. Mr. O'Brien wished these resolutions struck out, and also that a new chairman should be named. The negotiations with the committee on the subject continued until the evening, when the committee offered to yield, but word being brought that the meeting had been actually opened, with Mr. M'Mackin as chairman, Mr. U'Brien finally declined to attend. The demonstration included a parade headed by the 69th Irish Regiment, which was to escort Mr. O'Brien down Fifth-avenue to Union-square, where he WHS to review the display from a stand, speeches being delivered afterwards. About 15,000 men of the various societies gathered in parade formation, but the delay in the negotiations with O'Brien presented the despatch of orders to march till nine o'clock, and in consequence many left the ranks. Finally the procession started, without Mr. O'Brien, about 6.000 strong. Those who marched found Father M'Glynn occupy- ing Mr. O'Brien's place on the reviewing stand. He now became the hero of the demonstra- tion. Cheers were raised for Dr. M'Glynn and Mr. Henry George, and denunciations of Mr. O'Brien were uttered. About 10,000 men listened to the ispueches, that of Father M'Glynn being the chief feature of the proceedings. Mr. Henry George had sent a letter regretting his enforced absence, but on hearing of the turn which affairs had taken he appeared near midnight and delivered a short closing address. The unexpected outcome of the demonstration is the universal subject of discussion to-day. Mr. O'Brien makes a long statement on the subject, saying that he could Only attend Irish meetings and must refrain from mixing in any other kind of American politics. The leaders of the Labour party criticise his conduct, and declare that lie has fallen into the hands of the Tammany-hall Democrats, who are responsible for his attitude to the Labour party. Mr. M'Mackin, to whose presence Mr. O'Brien objects, presided at the lec- ture recently delivered by the dynamiter Tynan. Dr. M'Glynn's resolution, to which Mr. O'Brien objects, was passed by the meeting, and runs as folinws:— Resolved, that we proclaim the God-given right of every people to govern themselves without any foreign interference or dictation whatever; that we denounce the Bill for the coercion of Ireland now pending in the British Parliament and the threat of excommunication mado from Italy against a patiiotic American priest who has favoured the Irish Revolution as meriting the condemnation of liberty-loving men all the world over. Mr. M'Mackin says that Mr. O'Brien favoured the denouncing of coercion in Ireland, but not. in Home; that the Tammany-hall people induced Ml'. O'Brien to object to him as chairman that the committee was informed that Mr. O'Brien was the guest of the Labour organisations; that the resolutions offered expressed the sentiment of the American working men and that they would not allow him to dictate to them who should be their presiding officers. Mr. O'Brien seems to have fallen between two stools, being the victim of the rivalry of the Democratic party and the Henry George Labour party for the Irish vote in New York. He has declined an invitation to visit Philadelphia, and probably he will not appear at any more demonstrations before leaving for home on Wednesday in the steamer Adriatic.

Mr. O'Brien's Departure from America. t" CENTRAL NEWS TE LEGE AM.] NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY. Mr. William O'Brien was last xught banquetted by some of the leading citizens of New York at the Hoffman House Hotel. Ex-mayor Grace pre- sided, and letters of regret at non- attendance were read. Mr. O'Brien expressed his deep gratitude for the kindness which he had received in all parts of the country. The only un- pleasant episode was that of Saturday night. He believed Mr. Mackin and others who acted in consort with him were neither Irish nor American, or they would not have tried '.o drag him into local politics at the risk of ruining the Home Rule cause. After the banquet Mr. O'Brieu was escorted by the 69th Regiment of militia and a crowd of admirers to the steamer, where he embarked ready to jail this morning.

Appalling Disaster in Russia. Circus Set on Fire. [" STANDARD TKLEQRAM.] VIENNA, SUNDAY NiGHf. An extraordinary catastrophe is reported from the South Russian town of Neschin. A circus company from M scow was playing in a. wooden building, which was crammed to the roof with some 2,000 people, when a storm rose rather^ sud. denly, blowing off part of the roof, from which a number of petroleum lamps were suspended. In an instant the blazing petroleum was pouring over the tightly packed masses of people, a.nd a tearful panic naturally followed. In the rush to escape one of the lightly-built walls gave way and the whole building collapsed. If it had not been for his minor disaster the bulk of the audience would have been consumed. As it was a large number have been either burnt or trampled to death, and over 300 more or less seriously injured.

Immense Discovery of Treasure in Morocco. £85,000,000 Unearthed. ["DAILY CHRONICLE" TELEGRAM.] MADRID, SUNDAY NIGHT. A report has been received here from Morocco that has all the sound of a story from the "Arabian Nights," although it is positively declared to be true. The report states that hidden treasure has been discovered in the palace of an old vizier, who died some ago at Rabat, amounting to the truly enormous sum of 95 millions sterling. The Em- peror, on its being brought to his "knowledge, is said to have instantly confiscated it, and it is now being conveyed to the Imperial coffers at Fez.

Critical State of Affairs in Afghanistan. [FROM OUR COBKKSPONDENT.") VIENNA, WEDNESDAY EVENING. It is reported from St. Petersburg that news has been received there from Merv which indicates that the state of affairs in Afghanistan is extremely critical. It is stated that the Ameer has been reduced to the desperate expedient of calling to his assistance the garrisons of Balkh and Herat, to the extent of eight battalions ot infantry and two regiments of cavahy, in order to enable them to re-construct his army, which has been decimated by the Ghilzais.

Affairs in West Africa. The West African steamer Sherbro', which has arrived at Liverpool, brings confirmatory news of the outbreak by the Gallina natives and the attack on the British settlement at Sherbro' and Suley- unah. It appears that a large number of natives were drowned while crossing the River Mnnoh to escape from the enemy. The Sherbro' also brings news of a reported dispute between the English and French repre- sentatives with reference to the ownership of a piece of territory near Porto Novu. The French recently hoisted their flag there, and upon this coming under the notice of the officer in command of the Lagos Con- stabulary Force he went to the place with a force of Houtsas and hauled down the flag on the ground that the place belonged to England. A French man-of-war has been sent to Porto Novo, and the French Lieutenant-Governor at Lagos has also gone there to inquire into the mattsr.

A Parisian Horror. Selling the Bones of the Opera Comique Victims. Commenting on the rumour that a large quantity of calcined human remains had been carted away from the Opera Comique, and that the rag-pickers are sorting the heap and sometimes quarrel about a bone, though they are watched so that they take away no article of value," the France re- marks "Thus there are policemen to protect from thieves fragments of clothes and of jewelry; but they allow the carrying away, to be sold by weight, of the bones of these unfortunates, our country- men or our guests, surprised by a fearful death and these bones, converted into ashes, sue about to be utilised in refineries. Had Shakespeare lived in our clay what fine verses might he add to Hamlet's famous tirade on Yorick's skull! But there is no need of a great poet to raise his voice to arouse in all of us deep indignation against those persons who, not having protected our lives against dangers foreseen and predict ed, do not take the trouble after the catastrophe to count the dead or protect the remains of the victims against the most horrible of profanations." It is certainly high time that the authorities published a list of the persons missing and known to have gone to the theatre, for otherwise the greatest exaggerations as to the number of victims will gain credit. The men who were detected in the act of pur- loining objects which they found in the rubbish of the Opera Comique when employed in clearing it away have been tried and sentenced to periods of imprisonment varying from three to four months. French law does not allow a lost object to be appro- priated by the person finding it. One of the men (Vanderbeit) was arrested on the denunciation of several firemen when he was making up a parcel of objects consisting of a fine pockethand- kerchief with a prince's crown and the initials A. E., an ivory-backed brush, a pair of silk stock- ings, and a pink satin domino. His defence was poverty and pressing need. The sentence was four months' imprisonment. Another, named Kauif- mann, had a diamond shirt stud, a turquoise brooch, a padlock, a purse with eleven francs in it, an um- brella, and gold wrist-studs. He pleaded that lie did not know he was stealing, and wished to send to his relatives in Luxemburg some souvenirs of the Opera Comique. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Grassier, who had taken a lace neckerchief, t-ome pocket handkerchiefs, and a string of pearls, said he only wanted the pearls to serve as playthings for his children, and took the other objects to wrap them up in. Sentence, three months' imprisonment. Another prisoner, Wagner, who had appropriated a purse containing a few silver coins, a paletot, a mantle, a handkerchief, and cravat, thought they could be no good to any rich person, and so went to take them liimself. Sentence, four months' im- prisonment. Two other men had pocketed expen- sive opera glasses, one of which was richly orna- mented with pearls. They were each sentenced to four months' imprisonment.

A Diver's Experience. Terrible Fight Under Water. A Shark Killed. A diver named Quiutree had a remarkable fight with a formidable fish, called the boultous or bondro, a kind of shark which infests the Breton coast, at DoUarnenez, the other day. According to all accounts, Quiutree had a narrow escape, and his own report of his terrible submarine encounter reads like a stanza from Schiller's famous poem, or a page from one of Jules Verne's romances. The diver, an old salt, was employed by the Government, and in pLi, suit of his daily labour duly descended, in a. diving appa- ratus, off the Douarnenez Pier for the purpose of laying the foundation of an addition to that struc- ture. Whilst he was at the bottom of the sea the men who were working the air-pamp in the pontoon boat above were suddenly frightened by feeling the alarm signal. They instantly pulled up, and brought a large boultous, nearly eigut feet long, to the surface. The marine monster's head formed three-quarters of his length, and his under-jaws were of immense size. Shortly after- wards Quiiitree came up, his hand on the air pipe of his helmet, and his diving apparatus somewhat damaged. It appears that when lie went down to his work he had scarcely got to the last rung of the ladder when he saw the sea monster lying between two huge lumps of rock. He had itt his hands only his stone chisel and a hammer, and lie intended to go up for a crowbar at once; but the fish was too fast for him. It came towards him through the green water with its "mous jaws wide open. Without losing a moment Quintree man iged to wound the animal in the throat with his chisel, and then held it down on a stone while he drew a knife and made a hole in its body through which he passed a rope, and thus sent the fish to the surface. Had it not been for his quickness and dexterity the diver, owing to the rents which the fish would make in his apparatus, would have been drowned, and then devoured. As it happened, it was the boultous that was not only defeated but eaten, for its body was divided among the victor and his comrades, who made a capital bouilabaisse of its prime parts.

Shocking Revelations in London. For some weeks past, owing to certain informa- tion obtained by Mr. Stevens, an officer of the Reformatory and Refuse Union, Charing-cross, London, lie had been watching both night and day some houses of ill-fame in the vicinity of the Wal- worth and Kent roads. The officer had seen very young girls go in and out of these dens of infamy, but for some time was unable, owing to the precautions taken by the keepers, to do any- thing. Ultimately he waylaid a girl named Maria Donovan, aged ten years, as she was leaving the neighbourhood. From certain remarks she made lie was induced to take her to the police-station. Here she was questioned bv the police-inxpector on duty, and gave such a narrative of what she had with other young girls gone to the house in question for as scarcely to be credited. Her story cannot be printed. Securing this girl, the oflicer continued his watch, and ulti- mately succeeded in taking Ada Colman, 13, and Esther Belcher, 13. Later on a warrant, was obtained, which resulted in Jane Bruce, 16, beino taken into custody for having unlawfully procured Ada Colman and other young girls for immoral purposes. UpOn other warrants Mary Ann Bennett, 34 lidward Procknell, 21; and Esther Procknell, 19, were also taken into custody for unlawfully suffering a girl aged thirteen to commit an offence. The case is one of the most revolting yet brought, to light. Mr. Sims, from the office of the Tretgu ry, has been instructed to prosecute.

A Missing Girl. .L the inquest on tho UiUtilated remains foun dt, Rainham Superintendent Dobson stated that he :iad been in communication with a Mrs. Cross, jiving at Richmond, whose daughter had been missing from home for some time past. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Cross stated that her daughter was ttomewhat strange in her mind at times, and had in impediment in her speech. She was in the hahit of going to the ferry at Richmond, where Sarges and other craft were moored. She dis- ippeared at even o'clock on the morning of fanuary 20 last. Since that time nothing what. ver has been heard of her, although the police ,ere at unce notified of the disappearance, and 3r description was circulated. She was 28 years -age, and her height was 5ft. 8in. She was of I Ja.'k complexion, with dark eyes, pencilled eye- brows, short, curly black hair, and exceed- ingly handsome face. At the time of disappearance she was dressed in new side- spring boots, red stockings, white underclothing, striped petticoats, plain black satin dress, dolman jacket trimmed with velvet and beads, black hat with red poppies. Mrs. throes added that shortly before she missed her daughter the latter went out one evening shopping, and was accosted by a strange man, who said that he could show her the nearest way home. She walked with him some distance, when he suddenly demanded her parcels and mouey, stating that if she did not give them to him he would cut her throat. She gave him all she had, and the man disappeared, but she ran to tho Barnes Police-station and gave information. All search, however, for the man was fruitless.

Terrible Accident in a French Camp. A terrible accident happened on Friday io the Chalons Cunp during the target practice of the artillery. The breech of a gun, which had pro- bably been badly closed-a thing of frequent occurrence in the French artillery di-ill- was thrown violently back when the si.ra was lived. One of the artillery soldiers who were standing behind had his breast torn open, and died instantly another had hilf legs cut off, and also died as he wap being taken to the hospital; while a third still lin- gers between life and death.

Canadian Tariff Change. An order has been issued by the Minister of Customs of Canada declaring that all goods actually contracted for, ordered and sold, prior to May 12, to be delivered duty paid on arrival in Canada, or actually old, to be delivered duty paid ex warehouse, but not actually delivered prior to that date, may be entered at the old rates of duty on production of satisfactory evidence to that effect. This, however, will not include goods to re place any delivered out of duty-paid stock. The above concession will terminate on June 30 instant.

HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS.—With the approach of Whitsuntide the mind seems naturally to turn to anti- cipations of Swiss climbing and Rhine experiences, the remembrances of which no so far to make the remainder of our Knt;lls>! year bearable. Talking of tlie Rhine, one of,perhaps, the most pleasant experiences to the traveller is-iitzt to the contrast in the actiterv-ttic eliange in the style of living which his holiday there introduces liiiu Tdkethe matter of wine alone.

Disastrous Wreck in the Bristol Channel. A most disastrous collision occurred about six o'clock on Saturday morning off the Smalls, at the entrance to the Bristol Channel, between the steamship Tern, belonging to the Cork Steamship Company, and the Nova Scotia barque Hamburg, resulting in the foundering of the Tern and the loss of five lives. The steamer, which traded regu- larly between Liverpool and Amsterdam, was a well-built ve.-sel of about 1000 tons, carrying twenty hand, all belonging to Liverpool, which port she left on Friday morning with a general cargo. As she neared the Smalls a thick fog pre- vailed, and, according to the survivors of the pisaster she kept her steam whistle going to avoid colliding with any other craft. About six o'clock on Saturday morning, however, the Hamburg, a big barque bound to Liverpool, came upon her under full sail, and, striking her on the port quarter, nearly cut her in two. She at once began to sink. All her boats but one were smashed, but the one which was left was quickly lowered, and seven men got into lier and pulled away to the schooner S. H. H., of Teignmouth, bound from London to Dublin, which siood by. The schooner also lowered one of her own boats, and assisted in saving live. On puliing about eight other men who had been swimming as best they could were afterwards picked up and taken on board, but the Tern, which sank about a quarter of an hour after being struck, is supposed to have carried down with her Captain Rathgin, the stewardess, carpenter, one fireman, and another member of the crew. Thp. fift-en men who hid been saved were all taken ii L'onrd thy schooner, which put on sail and run after the Hamburg. The survivors say the captain of the birque never stood by after the collision, nor loweied any boat to render assistance in pickiug up the crew of the steamer. The schooner came up with the Hamburg after running about a couple of. miles and found her hove to. Her crew were clearing away the wreckage to her b,)ws, which was considerable but not of any very serious character. The fifteen who had been saved were afterwards transferred to the steamship Topic, of Belfast., bound to Llanelly, at whidlldtter port they were landed on Sunday morning. They were in a very dist i essed condition, having lost all their clot hes and effects. The ISonrd of Trade officials and the agents of the Cork Steamship Company ministered to their wants, and they have now all been sent home.

Wreck of a Liverpool Passenger Steamer. The Cargo Pillaged. Telegrams received by the owners at Liverpool state that the African mail steamer Senegal was wrecked at Tabon, which is a dangerous and rocky point on t 1'1\ Kroo Coast. The Senegal, which is about 2,000 tons burthen, left Accra un April 9 for Liverpool from West African ports, and had a valuable cargo of African pn>duce. which, according to a telegram received by the Liverpool underwriters, was pillaged by the natives The telegram states that. her crew are safe on board the steamer Congo, of the same line. No mention is made of the passengers, but it is I thought they are safe.

Domestic Tragedy near Liverpool. Two Children Murdered. Margaret Anthony, the wife of a seaman in the employ of tho Cuimrd Company, residing at Walton, near Liverpool, on Tuesday, in a fit of frenzy after a quarrel with her husband smothered her youngest child in bed, and then, with a hatchet, murdered another. The life of a third child is also in jeopardy from injuries received at the hands of Lhe mother. The woman has been three times married, and the victims are thechildren of her last, husband. The murderess then atiempted her own life, but some women who rushed into the house frustrated her purpose.

The Bodyke Evictions. Mr. Michael Davitt Eulogises the "Defence." Further evictions took place on Tuesday on Col. O'Callaghan's Bodyke Estate. At a public meeting subsequently held Mr. Michael Davitt con- gratulated the tenants upon what he called their defence, and especially tiiat of the women. He denounced in unmeasured terms the conduct of the policemen in doing the duty of landlordism that dav. He said he saw them emulating the dastardly action of the Emergency men, and rushing into the houses before Croker's Burglar Brigade." He condemned Colonel Turner for authorising such conduct.

Launch of a New Cruiser. The new twin-screw belted cruiser Immediate was launched at Chatham on Tuesday. Her armour belt is ten inches thick. She is 5,000 tons dis- placement, 8,500 horse power, and the estimated speed 18 knolo. She will carry twelve breech- loading guns, besides Nordenfeldts and torpedoes. The christening ceremony was performed by Mrs. Graham, wife of the Comptroller of the Navy.

Shocking Triple Murder in Lanca- shire. A shocking triple murder was perpetrated at Colne, near Burnley, on Saturday. Harriet Rushton, aged 35 years, had been walking with her husband and three children—seven, five, and two and a lialf yetirs old. At four o'clock the husband left them, and two hours later Mrs. Rushton called at her sister's house and said that she had sent all the children to Heaven. The sister, on going to Mrs. Rushton's residence, found that the children had been strangled. It is believed that the woman is insane. A coroner's jury on Tuesday returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Harriet Kushworth for straugling her three children, but expressed the opinion that she was insane.

If seems that a Candle in Mr. Crossfield's bedroom fell upon the bed and set fire to it. Notwith- standing prompt assistance, Mr. Crossfield could not be taken out of the room until he had been very seriously burned. Firemen were summoned from Notting-hili, Kensington, and Ladbroke- grove, and iiie flumes were soon extinguished. Mr. Crossfield's injuries, however, were so severe that he died on Tuesday morning shortly after two o'clock.

Midnight Marauders in Paris. Desperate Struggle with a Thief. Paris is becoming a. rather perilous place for belated pleasure hunters and others who have to traverse the city in the small hours of the mom* ing. Some people laugh to scorn the idea of nocturnal attacks, and want to make out that the city is quite safe from midnight marauders. A writer in one of the papers, however, asserts that since the municipal aediles have ordered the gas lamps to be extinguished at two o'clock in the morning attacks have become quite common. Early on Tuesday morning, for instance, persons were set upon in three different parts of Paris by men who hid during tir* crepuscular dimness behind kiosks or trees. the top of the Rue de Home the tables were turned on the marauders by a man whom they had assaulted in an unlucky moment for then:. He defended himself with his fists and his stick, smashing the jaw of one of the band, whom he held until the police came up, after having first dispersed the others. Unluckily, everybody who takes walks abroad at late hours, either through choice or necessity, is not endowed with strength enough to resist the attacks of nocturnal prowlers, and it is to be feared that, unless the municipal authorities rescind their orders, the and ruffians, who now limit their operations to lonely or distant streets, will be emboldened to try their luck on the main boulevards,

Killed on the Railway at Swansea, Mr. Talfourd Strick. deputy-coroner, on Wednes- day held an inquiry at Swansea into the circum- stanCI3 attending the death of Arthur Thomas William, aged four, the son of Mr. John Williams, of Wind-street, SW>lnsea, who was run over and killed on the previous afternoon by one of the Low-level Haulage Company's engines.—It was stated by nn errand boy named Sliollock, who is in the employ of deceased's father, that on Monday morning he started, taking deceased with him, for the ISast Dock. On the way deceased expressed a wish to play at horses with witness, and he accor- dingly complied. As they nearod the Half-cut Bridge deceased, who was a yard behind him, seemed frightened at a train, which came niong behind him, and, in his bewilderment, ran in front of the engine, which knocked him down and passed over his body, killing him instan- taneously. He heard nn warning whistle from the engine.—Mrs. M ::y Owens having given evi- dence, the engine driver (James H. Jenkin) said he shouted to the boys to keep back, hut as the engine got near deceased broke loose from the other boy and dashed right in front of the engine. He (witness) tried to reverse, but it was too late,- The fathrr of deceased said the engine frequently went almost at full speed, and he considered it necessary for the safety of the public that there should be someone stationed near the spot where the lability occurred.—The Coroner agreed, but considered that the evidence proved that the affair was purely accidental.—A verdict to this effect was returned. =====

Inhuman Conduct of a Son at Newport. Mr. Coroner Edwards on Monday afternoon held an adjourned inquest at the George Hotel Maindee, touching the dea th of Margaret, Sullivan The evidence given by John Sullivan, a son, on the previous occasion was to the effect that on Wed- nesday night last he found his mother lying down by the fender dying. He picked her up, and was carrying her to her bedroom when she oied. He left her on the second step of the stairs and went to bed. He got up the next morning between eight and nine. He was perfectly sober when he came in the night previous. His mother fell downstairs about three weeks previously. She also broke one of her legs a twelve- month ago. He called a neighbour on the I next afternoon, mid she was laid out. Sarah Lewis, who laid deceased out, said there were bruises about the body. The Coroner adjourned the inquiry for a post-mcrtem examination, think- ing the circumstances most extraordinary.— Waiter Reginald Tuckett,, a iredical practitioner, now said he made a post-mortem examination of he deceased Saturday. There waa a sinai I burc over tha right maler bone, which was recently caused. There were some old scars about the legs. There were no other external marks. On opening the chest he found congealed blood. The lanps were congested at the basis,and there was valvular disease very extensively. The kidneys and spleen disease very extensively. The kidneys and spleen were such as could be expected from the disease. The stomach and intestines empty. In the brain there appeared fo be a bursting of one of the blood vessels, rooting up the whole of the bruin. The spinal chord was heallhv. The body was fairly well nouiished fur a woman of her age. He thought that apoplexy was the primary cause of death.— The jury returned a verdict in accord- ance with the medical evidence. The Coroner, at the request of the jury, severely reprimanded the son for his conduct, and for telling an untruth all to his condition on the night the deceased died. The coroner joined in this, and told Sullivan he thought his conduct simply inhuman. It was dis- graceful, and he hoped he was thoroughly ashamed of himself, as he ought to be. He refused to allow him his expenses for attending.—A juryman, who had made the inquiries concerning the case, was thanked by his brother jurymen.

An Undergraduate's Escapade.f3 At the Vice-Chancellor's Court at Oxford on Friday, Robert Peel, an undergraduate of Baliol College, son of Sir Robert Peel, was charged with smashing a window at Hertford College on the night cf the 25th ult., and also with using threats towards Mr. C. Held, the superintendent of the City Police. The defendant was seen by the super- intendent to break the window with a stone, and on the way to the station he said to him, I knocked) ou down on the 5th November, and when I meet you again in High-street I wiil knockyou down again." The defendant said he would retract what he had said. The Vice-Chancellor fined him a guinea and 21s. 6d. costs for the damage, and said with regard to the other charge that the mere retractation of the words used was not sufficient. The defendant would be bound over in £10 to keep the peace. His conduct was not I what was expected of a member of the University. There ought to be some sort of courtesy amofig University people to prevent this kind of thing, and to do this kind of thing at night on the chance of not being found out, was a contemptible way of showing a mischievous disposition.

A £10,000 Race for Newmarket. ".Augur," of the Sporting Life, says:—" It is rumoured that the Jockey Club contemplate insti- tuting a monster race of the value of £10,000, to be run for at the Second Spring Meeting, on the same lines, in so far as time of entry is concerned, as the Eclipse Stakes, but that instead of being accumulative sub- scriptions the entry fee shall be a single one of 30 sovs, and 300 be taken, or the amount reduced. This will be a great attempt to place Newmarket stakes on a par with those at younger meetings, but whether it would provesuccessfulornotis of course open to question, the oistance from London to Newmarket still remaining so much farther than it is to Sandown Park, Kempton, Epsom, while Manchester and Liverpool command popularity of their own. I mean to say that I question if a. stake double the value at Newmarket would attract such a crowd of all sorts and conditions of men — and I may add, with all due respect, women—as that which witnessed the Eclipse or the Jubilee at the London racing parks, or the Derby at Epsom when Merry Hampton won. However, the matter is doubtless in safe hands for consideration, and no one could do other in the interests of the old raoing town than wish it success."

The "Armstrong" Case. Mr. George William Churchley, solicitor, of Broad-court, Bow-atreet, applied to Mr. Bridge on Saturday for summonses against two solicitors for perjury, alleged to have been committed in an action brought by a solicitor's clerk named Ballinger to recover a share of the profits arising out of actions commenced by Mr. and Mrs. Broughton against the Pall Mall Gazette in con- nection with the "Armstrong ca?e. The sum- monses were granted.

John Bright as for over 25 years one of its representatives in Parliament ha presented to the town, through the corporation, a handsome full-length statue of the right hon. gentleman in marble, executed by Mr. Bruce Joy. The presentation was announced at Tuesday'* meeting of the Town Council, and it was unani- mously accepted, and the statue ordered to be placed in the Public Art Gallery.

A Valuable Gift to Birmingham. A large collection of art work was formally pre- sented to the town of Birmingham at a meeting of the Town Council on Tuesday.

Cardiff Watch Committee. The Alleged Outrages by Police. Re-Consideration of the Recent Decision. At a meeting of the Cardiff Watch Committee, held on Wednesday morning, under the presidency of the mayor, Mr. GKOROE DAVID, solicitor, introduced a depu- tatiun of 25 ratepayers, who attended to support a memorial praying the committee, in view of the 0od characters held by Police-Constables Rose Cremins—the constables implicated in the nt scandal-durin" the long period of their ■co in the force, to re-con?ider their resolu- asking the twain to resign. Mr. David l that both the man Mills and his oJ had since the previous inquiry been pro- cmded against for assault, and in consequence had lU oamped. Quite accidentally fresh evidence had been procured, which proved that the assault committed by Police-Constable Kose w-as a very siight. one, while it went to show that Police- Constable Cremins was prubabiy stating what was t! u■1 when he declared that he did not see assault committed. Both ^on>tables i i contributed to tlie Superannuation l the benefits of which they had :nst. He did not ask that their conduct be overlooked, but that some lighter should be meted out to them. ..■ iKiiiNGWAT pointed out that the Watch C had dealt rather with the circumstances oi Lite conduct subsequent to the assault thin wi: iI the assault itseif. The two men had occupied a good position in the force, and had constantly been employed to do special work; but it was felt that an end should be put to the practice of the members of the force screening one another. Assuming these men were re-instated and Mr. David were engaged in opposition to them, he would be the first to twit the constables about their dimissal for perversion of the truth. Mr. QUINLAN, surgeon, described how he wit- nessed the assault. Rose, after endeavouring to get Mills—who was using most abusive language —to move on, lost his temper and struck him lightly in the face. He did not see Police-Con- stable Cremins present, but saw someone on the Other side of the road. The deputation at this stage of the proceedings retired, after thanking the committee for receiving them. The MAXOK, while disposed to lean on the side of leniency, spoke of the imperative need, in the interests of justice, to deal severely with members of the force—upon whose vemcity so much de- pended—who perverted the truth in the discharge of their duty. Alderman CAEKY spoke favourably of Cremins, and evellturdly Mr. HEES, alter stating that it was admitted on all hands that the men should be punished, said the question resolved itself into one of degree. He moved that the two officers should, instead of being dismissed, be reduced to the lowust grade. toIr, KriYNO^DS seconded, and tliere seemed to be a general ieeiing in favour of the proposition. Alderman TAYLOR WaS for upholding the deci- sion of the previous meeting. The MAYOR pointed out that a large proportion of those present were about to vote on a matter of which they knew scarcely anything, and it was decided to make a thorough investigation into it. THK CLUB NUISANCE. The question of the clubs came before the com- mittee.—Mr. Hemingway stated that a greater number was now in existence than at any pre- vious period, but action was stayed pending the result of an appeal which waa being heard in London that day, and in which a counsel was engaged on behalf of the corporation. INCREASE OF TIU POUCH FORCE. In the course of the business it was decided to augment the police force by fourteen men. There was no other business of importance, and the committee adjourned till Friday.

Newport Harbour Commission The first monthly meeting of the Newport Har- bour Commission after the triennial election was held at the offices, Dock-street, Newport, 011 Wed- nesday. Colonel Lyue presided, and there were 111,,0 present Messrs. T. Beynon, T. Latch, G. Hoskins (mayor), T. Colbm ne, C. H. Lonsdale, K J.Phillips, W. Pickford, M. Mordey, E, Grov«*, U. I. Jones, D. Prycr, 0, Gross, and J. Moses. The revenue for the past mom It was reported as follows:—HarOOur ones, £ 453 15s. 5d, showing an increase, us com- pared wit n i ne corresponding month of last year, of £16 13,. 2d.; gridiron dues, JE36 15s. 5d., an increase of .£24 14s. Id. ballast dues, £60 18" 6J., a decrease of £14 17s. 6d.; pontoon dues, £21", last year nil; hire of explosives bwts, 14. de- crease 6s.; hospital dues, £53, a decrease of .£2 14s. 6d.; balance at the bank, £1,313 10s. lid.; expenditure for the month, £223 Os. 3.1.—The Clerk made a formal report of the triennial elec- tion, and said the Docks Company had appointed Sir George Elliot, Bart, M.P., as their representa- live in respect of the Old Dock.—On the proposi- tion of Mr. T. Latch, seconded by the Mayor, Colonel Lyne wns re-elected chairman, and Mr. T. Beynon, on the proposition of Mr. Goss,seconded by Mr. E. J. Phillips, was elected vice-chairman of the commission.—The Chairman, in rrturning thanks, referred to the enormous increase which had taken place in the port during the 35 years he had been connected with it.. Great, however, as its strides had been in the past, he believed they were nothing to what they would be in the future. Newport was already one of the chief ports of the kingdom. Large worles were being established in the locality, and the further development of the docks would be proceeded with almost immediately. He believed in the future there woukl be no better dock accommodation anywhere than at Newport. The Harbour Commission had also been the means of effecting improvements, and there were now proposals for removing ob- structions from the bed ot the river, for erecting leading lights, illuminating buoys, and extending landing-siages. The appointment of harbour watchmen had had a sensible effect in detecting and stopping thefts along the tnuiks of the river. —The Vice-Chairman also returned thanks, and advocated the improvement of the Pilots' Pill. He thought the commissioners should use their in- fluence in endeavouring to get Lundy Island selected as the place for a harbour of refuge in the Channel. Swansea was making efforts to get it ut the Mumbles, but if that proposal were adopted it. would be an advantage almost exclusively to Swansea, whei eas Lundy would benefit all the ports in the Channel.—On the recommendation of the Harbour Works Committee, it was decided to lengthen the berth at the pontoon up to 300ft. and to erect an extra jetty, for which work Mr. T. D. Steel, engineer, had been engaged.—The tender of Mr.E. Marrows at been accepted for clnying out the work.—It was decided to engage an extra man at the pontoon during the excursion season.—Tlie whole of the committees were re- appointed, Mr. M. Mordey being substituted for Mr H. Beynon (resigned) on the Harbour Works Committee and Sir George Elliot being added to the same.

The Collision Between Englishmen and Germans. At the Newport Police-court on Wednesday Theodore Reske, a German sailor, from the ship Olsen, lying in the Old Dock, was charged on remand with seriously assaulting Charles Lloyd, a young labourer, on Sunday night, in Church-street. Mr. Edington appeared to defend. The story of the complainant WaS that as he was going home through Church-street on Sunday night, just before eleven o'clock ne met the prisoner and three other German sailors. One was carrying a drum, another a concertina, another a tin-whistle, and the prisoner was carrying a tambourine. He said the prisoner attacked him without any provoca- tion whatever, a.nd gave him a severe kick in the private parte. Greac pain was inflicted, and com- plainant had to be taken to the Infirmary, where he was advised by the house surgeon to go home and lie on his back in bed for 24 hours. He was quite positive prisoner wai the man who kicked him.—Police-Sergeant Williams, who arrested prisoner, said a companion sailor who was with Reske had a small cut on the nose, and there was blood on his handkercliief, which he said was from his nose. He had been struck by one of the complainant's party, who attacked them. A Ger- man sailor, named Max Gortz, was called, and he acknowledged having kicked the complainant in self-defence. The Germans, he said, were attacked by the Englishmen near the Usk Side Works, and to protect himself and avoid any injury he kicked Lloyd. Prisoner did not kick at all.—The Bench found that the case against the prisoner had been disproved and discharged him.

Matrimonial Difficulties at Cardiff. At the Cardiff Police-court on (Wednesday (before Messrs. Dr. H. J. Paine and J. A. le Boulanger) Mr. T. H. Belcher applied for a further remand of the case against Benjamin Marsh, a man residing in Kent-street, Grangetown, who is charged with assaulting and bea' ing his wife, Elizabeth Marsh. The Bench remanded the case for a week. Edward Lewis, 39, a man of respectable appear- ance, was charged on a warrant with assaulting his wife, Rebecca Lewis. Complainant in this case has been married to prisoner for nineteen years, and resides in Tudor-road. She has been for some time endeavouring to gain a respectable livelihood by letting apartments, but her efforts, it was stated, were being const mtly interfered with by her husband. The assault complained of was committed on the 28th of May. According to complainant, her husbanu on that occasion ctme home the worse for drink, and struck her twice in the chest ne seized the carving knife and threatened her life. He exclaimed, If it wasn't for the law I'd use it." He, however, took hold of her by the throat and tried to strangle her. Prisoner's previous conduct, com- plainant stated, had been far from good, and they had not lived happy together. Prisoner: Why hasn't it ? Because of the drink and nothing else but the drink."—Mr. Belcher, who appeared for complainant, asked the bench to grant a separa- tion order, both on account of his conduct towards her aud because lie prevented her from earning a respectable livelihood.—Prisoner didn't think there was any need for a separation order, and objected to it.—The Bench, however, after consulting with tlie cierk, thought that complainant's life was in d^ii^cr, and for the assault fined him 40a. and costs or n nooth's imprisonment, and ordered a judicial Separation.

Hoskins) by the Ruling Councillor (Mrs. Grice) as a Jubilee gift trom the above habitation in aid of the fund for the Children's Ward, A corrrespondent writes :—As some doubt exists in Newport as to whether there will be a beacon fire on Twyn Barlwm on the night of the 21. permit me to say that I vinited the mound C'I I Sunday, and was informed that every preparation has been made for such a purpose. Twelve tons of coal, several tons of wood, and a large quantity of tar will form the matt-rials for the fire, which "it is estimated will give a flame of 200it. The Mayor of Newport has issued a notice t!it tickets will be distributed amongst the poor of the borough who are of the age of 63 and upw-.rds entitling them to doles of provisions And groceries on Jobilee Day.

Merthyr Vale. At a meeting of sume of the inhabitants and the ministers of the various denominations, held at the Coffee Tavern, Merthyr V;t!e, on Monday evening, presided over by Major Bell, a committee was formed for the purpose of devising a scheme for commemorating her Majesty's Jubilee by giving a treat to the Sunday School and other children of the district, und it was decided thai appeals be ma.de to the landowners and the public of the neighbourhood for aid towards protnotin this object.

Dowlais. Until about a week ago it was thought that the Queen's Jubilee would not be celebrated in any manner at Dowlais, but things now wear a vel-) different aspect. A number of tradesmen in 'he town have formed themselves into a committee to organise a grand Jubilee treat for the poor of the dihtrict. A meeting was held at the Hcllv Busli Hotel, Market-street, on Tuesday night, Mr. Thos. Jenkins, Pantyscallog, presiding, and Mr. Thomas Davies, Musical Hall, occupied the vice-chair. After some discussion it was resolved to celebrate the Jubilee by roasting an ox, to be distributed amongst the poor.

Llandilo. Through the munificence of Mr. David Pugh, M.P., of Manoravon, the Parish Church of Llnndilo has been presented with a new clftck of superior design and construction, specially made by Mr. J. W. Benson, of Ludgate-hill, London, as a perma- nent memorial of the Queen's Jubilee. This lirm has also made the following clocks in NV;tle,-i Llmfair Church, Welshpooi; Kidwelly Church, Mostyn Town-h\i!, N-ti-bertli Town-hall, Nøatlt Town-hall, Cardiff Timet Office, Craig Brewery, Pontypridd, &c. Aillhc latest improvements have been introduced. The frame is horizonf. which allows any part to be removed for clean- ing or repair without disturbing the rest. No citat iron wheels are used, but the whole of the wheels are of gun-metal, cut by steam machinery. The oscupement is Graham's dead-beat of the highest finish. There are three diais, 7ft 6in. in diameter, of stout, sheet copper, having a raised gilt bead on the outer edge, and painted black, the nguree IInd hands being also richly gill the effect is consequently very good, both for appearance and for clearly indicating the time, which can be seen at a long distance. The hcurs are struck on a bell of 9cwts., and the quarters are chimed on two smaller bells. The striking part is on an im- proved system, the hammer being raised by the great wheel, whereby a heavier blow and more sound are obtained than is possible by the old mechanism. Instead of the obsolete locking plate, which is apt to run past its lock- ings and strike the wrong hours, improved rack re- pealing work is used" luch is safe and trustworthy. The pendulum ill 14-ft. long and has a bob of 2cwt., beating two seconds of time, and i" compensated with zinc and iron tubes for variations of tempera- ture; the time-keeping is, therefore, most accu- rate, and the clock will be the standard for the neighbourhood.

A Swansea-Laden Vessel Sunk. The crew of the Irish barquentins Florence Nightingale, sunk by collision with the Liverpool steamer Clan Sinclair, have been landed at Liver- pool, and give particular of the disaster. The collision took place between St. John's Point, and the Isle of Man about, nine o'clock on Sunday night. The Florence Nightingale was bound from Swansea to Londonderry with a cargo of coal. Just before and at the time of the collision a dense fog hung over the spot. The fog-horn was kept going. and about nine o'clock another fog-horn was hellrd but a short distance off. Two of the crew of the barquentine were in their bunks, but fearing a collision they went on deck. No soonw had they got there than the bows of a steamer came crash- ing into the port bow of the Florence Night- ia^aie, almost cutting rhe bow off. Had the two men, whose names are Wm. Grayson and P. Feeney, remained a few minutes longer in their bunks they would certainly have gone down with their ship, as they could not have got out of the forecastle. The Florence Nightingale rapidly filled. The steamer, which was the Clan Sinclair, bound from the Clyde to Liverpool, steamed a short distance off and then caunc to the assistance of the sinking vessel's crew. A boat was promptly lowered from the steamer, and in the short space of twenty minutes the six men were rescued from the Florence Niehtingale and taken on board the Clan Sinclair. The men only saved what they stood in. The two men who had the narrow escape were bui partially clad, and were given some wearing apparel by tlie steamer's people. The Florence Nightingale must have sunk soon after being aban- doned. She belonged to Mr. William Cutlibert, of Londonderry. She was commanded by Captain Kinch.

Alleged Attempted Watch Robbery at Singleton. Before the county magistrates at Swansea oa Wednesday a smart-looking young man, named George Harris, of Cardiff, was charged with attempting to steal a gold watch and chain from the pocket of Mr. Maroney, on the occa.sion of the recent great Liberal demonstration at Singleton, Swansea, on Saturday last.- "i osecut(,r. who lives at the Hafod, said he was walking in the procession to Singleton. When near the lodge gate the pro- cession halted, and he then felt a pull at his watjli. He dropped his hand quickly and caught hold of prisoner's fingers, which were round his (prose- cutor's) watcii-chain. He called the police, and Itartedoff in pursuit, of prisoner, who was over- taken and given into custody. Prisoner carried a dress coat over his left arm, which compl. tely hid the arm with which he attempted to commit the robbery.—Police-Constable Evans (50) said he received prisoner into custody. On the way to the station he said his hand might have accidentally been near the prosecutor's waistcoat, but he had no intention to steal his watch. Prisoner made several contradictory statements, and offered to stand witness a bottle of brandy if he would say nothing about it.—Prisoner was committed for trial, the Bench intimating that they would accept substantial bail.

THE TITHE WAR. Spread of the Excitement. COLWYN BAY. NlosrAy XIGHT. The inhabitants of the agriculturul district of Mochdre,orSwir.s Village, si: ua: e hetweenCoiwva ii;iy and ths arcient town of Conwav, on the North Wales coast, were to-day in a state of intense excitement in anticipation of the arrival of the auctioneer and bailiffs, accompanied bv Jje police noJ military, to enforce the sales upon tiit stocks seized for tithe rent. Tiie tithes are held t>j the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the rec, (,r o' the A reduction of 25 per cent, is deuimded bv tLp fanners, but this is refused by the rector and tae comiuiseioners. and action is now taken by the latter to recover the tithes. Five of the largest farms have been distrained upon and twelve c;it.tie seized, It is leported that on Saturday evening the representa- tives of the Ecclesiastic-al Commissioners visile:? C lwyn Bay and endeavoured to hire twenty con. veyances for use sit tiie sales to-day, but they were every where Boycotted, all the cur pro- pri-^iors refusing- to hire their conveyances. It was, however, rumoured througliout tl.« disturbed districts on Sunday that {},«• P. C, L: e and military would arrive special train at Colwvn Bay at lour c'cl tins morning. At. three o'clock a.m. the USLir. Large bands of farm labour; armed witli Sfout ..tIcks, were in a; heaps of e^gs had been collected tor the i'ray jU"s ^eie charged for firing, and fisgstaffs wert erected on nearly a dozen muunmin Ile, gilts fay tilt- purpose pf giving the alarm to tlie entire com- munity. Within a radius of twentv aides sentries were fixed nt each f.^staff, with gu-at banners, to signal from all the L:ils at the appioach of toe enemy. By five o'clock crowds of pe'ipij had assembled at Colwvn Bav Llandnllmnrlios, Conway, Llansxintffmid, Llari rwst, and other places, awaiting the cannon tiring and the signal from tlie hilltops. Business j was partially suspended f()r the dHY, ana iargi bands were held in readiness until tile afternoon. but none of the Ecclesiastical Commissioner? representatives put in an appearance. it li-; generally expected that the roiJiUrv Mill tf- sent Irom Chester to aid in et.forcir," suies, but the utmost secrecy is kept in reference II the contemplated manoeuvres.

Keports front the, Meifod V.iiley state that great unrest stili prevails throughout the vallk-v ir consequence of repeated vis-its of the bailiffs, who it is alleged, make attempts to remove the catt after nighfall from the distrained farmsteads, Watch is kept over the distrained animals niyiit aDd duv. Farm labourers from nd- joining districts have volunteered to take duty as pickets in order to afford temporary relief t" their brethren. As many as 60 p«rsnns have kept all rigiit watch at the farms. Influence is being brought to bear on the authorities at Welsh- poui, and 1: is understood that the bailiffs are tc be paid off after nb<">u? a mon'lrs serrict?.

Sudden Death of Mr. G. E. Tutton, of Cowbridge. It is with regret that we announce the death of kr. Gen. Eo TÜün, which took place at hi rpsi- dence, at Cowbridge, late on Tuesday night. Tim" day Tutton returned by tiie noon train from Swans' a, where he had beer, on a vi-dt to some relatives. He was seen at CV-wbiidge Station about half-past eight in the evening, but at half-past eleven he suddenly ext ired from disease of tlie heart. Tuttcn, who was upwards of 60 years of age, succeeded his father as master' cf a school at Llantruhyd more than 40 years -kgo. This position iie held until seme twelve or thirteen jears ago, when he WaS appointed t, the first mastership of the Cowbridge Board School. At Cowbridge Mr. Tutton was sought after Ly gen*,ry of the neighbourly .d to instruct iheir children at their private residences, amongst he.»e being the Rev. Roper Tyler and Mr. Daniel Owen, of A-ii all. A year or two before Mr Tutton took uo his residence at Cow bridge, how- ever, tiie Cowbridge Farmers' Club being at a very I w ebb, Mr. D iniel Owen, ol Ash Hall, proposed d' and Mr. D. Jenkin*, of Fieminj/sfon, seconded, tin appointment of Mr. Tutton as secretary. Events have proved that no man better qaalifled ro transact the secretarial duties could have L,eL-tl selected, the number of members of the club at the present time being three times larger than when Mr. Tutton assumed the position,
