THE LATE I)U. "VACHELL.—In his sermon in Charles-street chapel on Sunday evening, the pastor, Rev. J.Waite, made the following allusion to the de- cease of the lamented Dr. Vachell ;-The man whose removal from amongst us in God's mysterious providence has recently been the cause of such general lamentation, and who has borne to the grave during the past week with so many marks of public respect, was one who illustrated this fact. He was not a man of loud professions, but ofstc-rliag character and solid repute whose deed was greater than his words. A man, the iniluence of whose Christian spirit and blameless integrity was felt in the family, and the social circle, and the town at large and whose acts of considerate kindliness won for him the respect and love of many hearts. He is thus mourned because his removal to a better world is felt by those who are left behind to be a general loss, and his vacant place is such as cannot well be filled by another. It is a noble ambition that seeks so to live as that our removal at last shall be felt to be a public loss, a social calamity, and our name shall be held in loving and greatful rememberance. In order to this we must live the life of Christian beneficence. Nothing else will secure such a result. The men who leave a lasting impress for good upon the world in which they move, are the men who take the loftiest of all motives—the approval and honour of their Lord and Redeemer—as their governing principle in all things.

SHEPHERDS' SOCIETr.- The anniversary of the above benefit society was held on Monday. There was a large number of delegates present to arrange the finances of the society and other business, and the order was reported to be in a prosperous state in this town. HORSE KILLED.-Alfred Bishop, servant to Mr. D. Phillips, was riding a horse in Crockberbtown, on Monday, when Mr. G. Smith, landlord of the White Swan beerhouse, drove up in a pony trap, the shaft of which entered the chest of Mr. Phillips's horse, killing it on the spot. CHILD FOGND.-Late on Monday night a young child was found in a garden near the Cardiff work- house. Sergeant Hibbs carried the babe to the workhouse, where it was recognised as the child of an Irishwoman who had left the house that morning. The woman's name is Murphy, and she had recently come from Newport, where the child was horn. WATCHES STOLEN.-Thomas Lewis had a watch stolen from his person while drunk and asleep in the Stag Inn, on Wednesday. A watch was stolen from 74, Frederick-street, on Tuesday; and the same even- ing one was taken from the person of Mrs. Thomp- son, of Grange-town. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday afternoon a labourer, named John Kirby, aged forty-five years, living in Ellen-street, was run over by an East Dock engine, No. 4, at the incline west side of the East Dock.

It is not ex- pected to come before their Lordships for eight or ten days. RESCUED FROM DROWNING.—Ou Tuesday last, as some boys were playing on a raft at the top of the East Bute Dock, one of them, named Dennis Ryan, about fourteen years of age, fell in the water, and got under the raft. Were it not for the fortunate arrival of Mr. H. Austin, who, without divesting him- self of anything more than his coat, plunged into the water and saved his life, the probabilities are the boy would have been drowned. Loss OF A CARDIFF STEAMER.—The Bwllfa, a steamer of 1000 tons, which left Swansea on Monday, May 29th, bound for Nantes, laden with coals, has been lost on the coast of France. The captain and crew were saved. The Bwllfa was a remarkably fine ship, belonging to Cardiff, and was owned by the Bwllfa Colliery Company, and had only just com- pleted her third voyage within the last three weeks. I She cost £15,000, and was recently insured. NEW COLLIERY JOINT-STOCK Co.-The prospectus has been issued of the Great Western and Fowlers' United Collieries, Limited, with a capital of £150,000, in 7500 shares of X20 each. The deposit is to be £1 on application, and £3 on allotment, calls not to ex- ceed X2 per share, nor to be made at less intervals than three months. The company propose to pur- chase, work and extend the collieries belonging to the Great Western Railway Company, and to Messrs. Fowler Brothers, situate at Newbridge, and having a direct railway and canal communication with the Dort of Cardiff, to which point they are nearer than any of the celebrated steam coal comeries of tnc Aberdare Valley. ST. JOHX'S CHURCH CHorn.A new anthem, to the words" If ye love Me," &c., composed by Mr. Atkins, the organist of St. John's Church, was sung on Whit-Sunday evening by the choir of that church. Its execution reflected much credit upon the mem- bers of the choir, the verse parts being admirably rendered, and the cborus, although somewhat diffi- cult, was given without fault. As regards the com- position itself, it appeared to be as much liked as Mr. Atkins's Easter anthem. INQUEST.—On Monday evening the Coroner held an inquest at the Town Hall, on the body of a baby eight months old, daughter of a labourer named Fenton, living at 10, Mill-lane. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death after hearing the evi- dence, which was to the following effect: That on Saturday evening, at tea time, the mother leaned across the table to reach something, and unfortu- nately upset a vessel of boiling water which was on the table, and the contents of which poured into the baby's cradle, which lay just alongside. The poor child was so dreadfully scalded that after lingering in agony for about thirty hours, it died on the Mon- day. THIRD GLAMORGAN ARTILLERY Y OLUKTEERS.- The first great gun practice of the season was most suc- cessfully carried on at the new battery, constructed by Lord Bute's Trustees, on the East Moors, on Sa- turday evening last. In the absence of Colonel Hill, Major Page took command, assisted by the Adjutant (Captain Laughton) the other officers present were -Captains Wood and Sloper, Lieutenants Insole, Reece, and Gavin, and Brigade-Surgeon Reece. The practice made at each range-1300 and 1600 yards -was very good, more especially when it is consi. dered the corps were prevented from firing last year in consequence of the ground being required for works connected with the Docks. The range now may be said to be as good as any in the kingdom and it is hoped that such use will be made of it by the end of the summer that the Third Glamorgan Artillery will have carried off several valuable prizes. By the liberality of the officers in subscribing a large annual sum to the National Artilleiv Association, the corps will have the privilege of competing on their own range for some valuable prizes; and in addition to this, there will be acompetition for money prizes given by the County Artillery and Rfle Asso- ciation. Besides these inducements, it is understood that the officers will again this year give prizes. Last year, the Messrs Batchelor, and Mr. Spiiidion, sup- plemented several prizes for competition by the great guns, and it is to be hoped that other individuals will follow their example. In the adjoining town of Newport, there are numerous prizes given by gentle- men, and even ladies, connected with the neighbour- hood an example which might, with advantage, be followed by the ladies and gentlemen of this town and neighbourhood. THE COAL TRAFFIc.-During the evidence given before the parliamentary committee on the Alexandra (Newport) dock bill, was the following, which will be read with interestMr. John Nixon, colliery owner, said that he was raising from 1200 to 1500 tons per day. His was about the largest undertaking of the district. He supposed his coal was the best, as it fetched the highest price. He had about 800 wagons employed, and it was important to get as much wcrk out of them as possible. His gross wages was £000 or £700 per week. He thought Newport a better port for imports than Cardiff, on account of the gradients in the neighbourhood of Cardiff, which were very objectionable. He was prepared to send a large part of his trade to Newport. Mr. George Elliott, colliery proprietor, said-His company had purchased the Powell collieries, and paid £100,000. For the Tredegar Colliery, Newport was tbe most convenient port, but the out put goes to Cardiff now. Altogether his output was 700,000 tons per annum —something like 3000 per day. A very small pro- portion at present goes to Newport. There had been a tendency amongst ships to go to Cardiff in preference. The present dock accommodation at Cardiff is insufficient. He had experience of northern coal-fields, but this Welsh coal-field had astonished him. Its mineral resources were unlimi- ted, and its powers of development immense. The dock accommodation in the district was vastly too small. He was of opinion tbftt to meet the trade dockmaking should be always going on, considering that docks took some time in construction. BIBLE SOCIETy.-On Monday evening a meeting in aid of the fùnds of the British and Foreign Bible Society will be held at the Town Hall. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—The Working Men's In- dustrial Exhibition, advertised to be held in Bristol in September, seems to be one toward which our skilled artizans and workers of both sexes should contribute the production of their leisure and abilitv. We take pieasurein calling their attention to the terms of the advertisement. BOLD RoHBERY.—On Wednesday evening, while the Rev. C. Stacey was engaged at cricket in the Carditf Arms field, some person stole his waistcoat -from the tent belonging to the club. The waistcoat contained a gold watch (No.OoSO), valued at over £20, guard, some money, and various other articles, all of which the thief carried away. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-About three o'clock on Mon- day afternoon a hobbler, named Hugh Humphreys, aged fifty-four, living at 3, Canal street, was at his usual employment, loading a vessel with iron at the East Dock, when an iron rail by some means fell upon him and caused severe injuries. He was con- veyed to the Infirmary, and notwithstanding every attention expired at eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL, LLANDAFF.—We have the pleasure to announce the receipt of £5 5s. from Miss M. J. Chafy, of Canterbury, kindly forwarded to the Rev. D. Howell, in answer to his appeal on be. half of the deaf and dumb; also the sum of £ 1 Is. from Rev. Chancellor Morgan, per Rev. D. Howell 10s. 2,i., amount of card collection, from Mr.E. Row- lands aud 5s. from Dr. Gilbert, F.R.S. We hope the tide of public favour which has begun to set in on behalf of this interesting charity, will continue to flow until ample means are provided for the intellec- tual and spiritual necessities of the deaf and dumb of Wales and Monmouthshire. BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.- The annual meeting of this society has been held during the week, at Hereford. The vast attendance and receipts of the Bristol meeting last year were not equalled, but this year surpassed any other year than the Bristol one-the attendance rising to 12.000 persons per day. The entries in every department, with the exception of pigs, were greater than ever have been known. The site, Wide, marsh, about a mile from the city, is admirably adapted for the occasion. The weather was exceed- ingly fine. Among the winners of prizes were Short- horns—Bulls Hot exceeding two years. First prize £ 20, Mr. J. Logan, Newport, Mon.; second, £ 10,' Rev. W. Holt Beever, Cowbridge. Heifers in calf or in milk not exceeding three years. First prize, JE12 Mr. J. Logan. Heifers not exceeding two vears, third prize, JE.3, Rev. W. Holt Beever.

NEW BORING MACHINE.—Our readers who are in- terested in mining operations, will be glad to learn that an opportunity is now afforded of seeing Messrs. Mather and Platts' boring machine, which is now in operation in Cardiff. The machine was brought into this district by Mr. Bassett, civil engineer, who used it for a short time in the neighbourhood of Llan- trissant, on some mineral property belonging to the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot. For the last few weeks it has been employed by Messrs. North, Low, and Co., in Bute-road, who are sinking a well of considerabla depth. The hole that is bored by the machine is eighteen inches in diameter, and the depth is now 220 feet: the bottom of which is in the new red sandstone. Many of our readers will remember that a very interesting paper on this subj et was read by Mr. Mather at a meeting of the South Wales Institute of Engineers, which was held in Cardiff, in July, 1864. Previous to the ma chine being sent to Glamorganshire, a bore hole of 1322 feet in depth, and eighteen inches in diameter, was completed by the same machine in the neigh- bourhood of Middlesborough. WHITSUNTIDE EXCURSIONS.—Quite a number of excursions during the week have taken place. The Burnham boat on Saturday commenced her weekly trips to Ilfracombe, Lynton, and Lynmoutb, and had a fair number of passengers for a beginning. There is likely to be a brisk trade done between the Devon- shire points at which this boat touches on these trips. On Monday there were two excursions to Weston, one by the Stevenson, and the other by the Pelaw. Each carried a large number of passengers. They left at noon, and got back to Cardiff about seven o'clock in the evening. On Tuesday, there was an excursion to Avonmouth, near Bristol, per the Taff. It was very slimly patronised. On the same day there was an excusion to Porlock Bay, Devonshire, by the Defiance. The weather was rough, which made the passage a long one, and pre- "il,ua p«»Dooo0orC from Undine in the boats. Con. sequently the vessel turned about, and came back again, but the wind blew so hard against her, that it was too late for her to save the tide, and the ex- cursionists had to be brought ashore here in small boats. On Wednesday there was an excursion to the Holmes by the Severn, which left about five o'clock p.m. It was well patronised. The excursionists landed on the Flat Holm, and between the attrac tions of the inn and of the lighthouse, spent their time very pleasantly until about eight o'clock, when they were fetched back to the vessel in small boats. As the last boat load but one, consisting of eight persons, reached the steamer's side, they all rushed to one side of the boat to scramble on board the ship, and the boat was upset. Five of the parties caught hold of the steamer, and were only partially wetted; the other three were im- mersed. Two ladies clung to the boat and were promptly got out; the third, also a lady, "had a severe ducking and a thorough wetting, but was brought on board soon, in safety, by the gallantry of Mr. Hunter, of the Custom House, who sprang overboard after her. The Severn arrived at Cardiff about ten. The Kate to Penarth has been constantly crowded. With the opening of the new dock there will be ample occupation for at least one more regular boat on this line, besides the Kate. GLAMORGANSHIRE ARTILLERY AXD RIFLE VOLUN- TEER ASSOCIATIOx.-The annual meeting of this as- sociation was held at Neath, on Saturday. Colonel Talbot, M.P., in the chair, and Colonel Hill and several other volunteer commissioned officers being present. The Finance Committee reported the re- ceipts of the year as 1-1;8 19s. 10d., and the expen- diture JE518 7s. Od. There were arrears of subscrip- tions due which reduced the debt of the association to about X-30 The committee reported that they had taken into their serious consideration the fact that the offer of prizes to 'All Comers' has been the cause of an annual loss to the funds of the Associa- tion, and, moreover, has not been the means of at- tracting more than a few strangers, the bulk of the competitors having been composed of Glamorgan- shire men. They therefore recommended that in lieu of a schedule of All Comers, prizes to be contended for on the terms heretofore offered, an open sweep- stakes of 10s. each be substituted." This was adopted. The annual prize meeting was fixed to be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, July 25th, 26th, and 27th, at Port Talbot Moors. It was also ar- ranged that, subject to the decision of the War-office, the annual county review should also take place on the following Tuesday, also at Port Talbot Moors, at one o'clock in the afternoon. As the railway ar- rangements were loudly complained of last year, it was agreed, in order to ensure better order and despatch this year, that the question of railway arrangements be left in the hands of Major Dillwyn, chairman of the traffic department, and Mr. Joshua Williams, the able and experienced manager of the South Wales division of the Great Western Railway, the Lord-Lieutenant expressing a hope that, to ensure efficiency and prevent the confusion of last year, all commanding officers would implicitly con- form to the orders of the above two gentlemen. The competition for the Great Gun Prizes was arranged to take place simttltaneously at the respective plat- forms of the Artillery Corps, under regulations to be adopted by the commanding officers. Major Talbot and Lieutenant Llewelyn were entrusted with the field arrangements preparatory to, and during, the prize meeting. The meeting adjourned, with a vote of thanks to the Lord-Lieutenant for presiding, and for allowing the use of the moors for the prize meeting. —-

YEAL AXD LAMB.—A Mr. Gregory writes to the Times as follows:—The present famine price of mutton and beef, depriving the comparatively poor entirely ot meat food, and even "respectable" large families of their needful share, will rise higher and higher. The whole country is understocked every- wherc, and were any murrain, such as lately occurred in Egypt, to afilict the cattle of the north of Europe, it would be to us a serious national calamity-. It is the opinion of large cattle dealers that an instant cessation in the consumption of lamb and veal, and continued for one year, would amply suffice to restore the balance between supply and demand. It will be no man's loss, but the nation's great gain. Veal and lamb are more costly than mutton and beef, yet they contain less nutritive aliment pound for pound
