The crowd, and the gas, and want of ventilation, render the htmospbere oppressive and almost unbearable. In fact, it is a dangerous, fetid atmosphere." My object in addressing you is to cause the managers of this institution to have the room better ventilated in the evening. It can very easily and effectually be done by causing the windows to be opened at the TOP, and thus, every time the door is opened, which is very often, it would cause a free current of fresh air to circulate. At present it is absolutely dangerous to health.—I am, &c. Cardiff, Feb. 20,1867. INODOROUS. BOROUGH MAGISTRATES. SIR -Dr. Taylor does not seem to be aware that in the original Municipal Reform Bill it was provided that the nomination of fit persons to be inserted in Commissions of Peace for boroughs should be made by the Town Councils. This provision was struck out by the House of Lords; but so much importance did the House of Commons attach to the retention of the clause as it stood, that a conference with the Lords was solicited, and granted. As customary on such occasions, the reasons for the retention of the clause were prepared, and seemed to be prophetic as to the mode in which the recent appointments at Cardiff were obtained. I transmit, for the benefit of your readers, the Comnions' reasons for retaining the clause as it stood :— Because the Comn.ons conceive that in order to enable the servants of the Crown justly to advise his Majesty in the exercise of this branch of his Royal prerogative, it must ne- cessarily be that local information should be sought for respecting the character and qualification of parties who may be put into the several comaaisrions of the peace. The Com- mons further consider it to be of the highest importance that such information should be publicly given by persons acting vpenly, and therefore responsible for their recommendation that if such information be not so given, it must necessarily be sought for through private and irresponsible channels, and the persons recommending will be freed from the salutary control of public opinion, and may be swayed by undue pre- ferences that the Town Councils, freely elected, may safely be presumed to have the deepest interest in the impartial administration of justice, and in the due enforcement of the !aw, within their respect;ve communities, and that there is, therefore, no reason to apprehend that they will submit for his Majesty's approval the names of improper or undeserving men; that, consequently, with a view to the responsibility of those who are recommended, and to the weight and authority of the laws, which cannot be separated frcm the character of those by whom the laws are administered, the Commons are willing to hope that the Lords will not insist on this amend- ment." The Commons yielded the matter in dispute. Lord John Russell, however, declared, that so long as he was in office, he should request from Town Councils the names of persons to whom they would recommend the commission to be addressed, and that the persons so named should be ap. pointed; and he and his party adhered to this rule.-I am, &c., Q.
-----------PONTYPRIDD.
PONTYPRIDD. LATE FATAL ACCIDENT.—The maa who was lately cut to pieces on the Taff Vale line turns out to be a collier, named Simuel Thomas, of Aberavon, near Swansea. He had been in a desponding state for six weeks, when his daughter heard from her stepmother, of the state of his mind. She went over to fetch him to her house, Canton, for a change of air. He arrived on Monday week, and went out at three p.m., saying he was going for a walk. He was never seen afterwards by his daughter. GWYLXOS.—The Welsh readings were given in the long room, Tredegar Arms, on Thursday last. Lieut. Williams, presided. The programme was gone through very fairly, Messrs. Powell, Cooke, Atkins, and Caville, doing the comic. A few individuals were creating a disturbance which to say the least of it was not compli- mentary to the parties concerned. There was an attempt to sing "Sweet spirit hear my prayer," by a youth under circumstances which strongly reminded one of a ludicrous parody of so sweet a pieoe. After the failure the young man offered, by way of amends, to sing a comic song. In doing this it appears that a few harebrained youths had concocted a series of doggerel verses, in which a young lady was personally and offensively alluded to. This circumstance, so chivalrous, so courteous and so gentlemanly, of course, won for the individual the high- est expressions of respect from every one capable of forming an opinion on decency and propriety. POPULAR READINGS.—The 14th of the series was given in the Now Inn Assembly rooms. Rev. E. Roberts, pre- sided. The readings were of a very high character, and the performance throughout of a decidedly superior cast. Owing to the wet there was comparatively small attend- ance. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual meeting of the Board was held on Wed- nesday. W. Perkins, Esq., chairman. REMUNERATION FOR SERVICES DURING CHOLERA. The Clerk read a number of letters from medical gentlemen acknowledgiug the receipt of the amounts awarded them. Messrs. Evans (Pentyrch) and Brown (Mountain Ash) declined receiving their amounts on the ground that they were too small. Mr. Leigh (Uan- vabon) also objected to the sum of X121109. awarded him, as being by no means adequate payment. Mr. Penn said the Committee wished to act conscientiously in the matter, and the results were arrived at after great care. He thought that the amounts offered were not sums reo presenting adequate compensation but as a simple recognition of the value of the labours of the gentlemen to whom awards were made. Two letters, one from Mr. Heward, inspector of nuisances for Ystradyfodwg and Llanvabon, and Mr. Superintendent Thomas, inspector for L'anwonno, were read these gentlemen requested the Board to take into considere.tion their claims upon it during the late epidemic. The Chairman moved that two guineas be given to each inspector. After some discussion this was carried. On the motion of the Rev. D. T. Davis, it was agreed that the sum of E2 should be given to each of two women who had medicine stations in their houses. HIGHWAY BOARD No. 2. Very little was done on Wednesday. Mr. Maddicks gave notice that he would move the changing of the name of Pentrebacb. Steps were ordered to be taken against the Taff Vale Railway Company to compel a repair of a railway bridge over the road near Maesmawr unless commenced forth- with. .Notice to ohange the day of meeting was given.
STATISTICS OF COAL.
STATISTICS OF COAL. An interesting Blue-book has just been issued con- taining reports from her Majesty's Secretaries of Em- bassy and Legation respecting the production of coal in different countries. According to these reports the pro- duction of coal in Austria in 1864 was 4,499,133 English tons; in 1855 it was 2,028,089 tons. In Bavaria, in 1865! the quantity of stone coal and brown coal produced was 435,602 tons in 1859 the quantity was 260,000 tons. In Belgium the number of coal mines was 287, and the amount of coal obtained in 1865 was 11,840,703 tons, the quantity exported in the year being 3,568,406 tons. In Brazil there were no extensive workings of coal. Some of the coal-beds, however, were of great depth, and pre- sented great facilities for working by open quarrying. In France in 1864 the production was 11,001,948 English tons in 1865 it was 11,297,052 tons. In the year the import of coal amounted to 7,106,286 tons, of which 1,455,206 tons were drawn from Great Britain; the ex- ports in 1865 were 335,126 tons. Prussia is rich in mineral fuel; the total amount of stone coal and brown coal produced on an average in that country in 1864 was 21,465,600 English tons in 1860 it was 13,543,000 tons. The coal-pits of the river Ruhr extend over ten miles in length, a Prussian mile being equal to 24,000 Prussian feet, nearly 4i English miles. The western parts of Prussia are so richly furnished with mineral fuels, par- ticularly with coals, that they do not depend for their supply on foreign countries, but rather give up a great part of their coal produce to the latter. In Russia no coal is exported, although the beds of the Donetz are rich in coal and other minerals; the amount of coal pro- duced in this place was 126,571 tons; but this is a very insignificant quantity compared with the enormous mass uf coal which the D"netz isicapable of furnishing. In 15-i42 there were only 225 beds in a working condition, whereas now there are about 700, and each year the spring rains bring to light others. Coalfields also exist on the western flank of the Ural mountains. 554,858 English tons were imported into Russia in 1865. No coal is exported from Spain, and the quality raised in the country is chiefly used for making coi.e and artificial fuel. Oviedo furnishes more than any other province; in 1803 it furnished 307,390 tons, the total produce being only 401,297 tons. Spain may be said to be dependent on England for her coal, notwithstanding the internal resources of the country. The effect of the ditierential duties has been to enhance the price of coal, while in their protective capacity thay have in nowi. assisted native production. In the United States the amount produced in 1865 was 17,417,617 tons. Out of this quantity Pennsylvania alone produced 13.000,000 tons. It is estimated that the Illinois coalfields contain 1,277,500,U0U,000 tons, and that it w>uld take 100,000 years to exhaust them yet the United States, with their enormous productive resources, raise now but the paltry amount of about 20,000,000 tons. In New South Wales the supply of coal is very greut. The quantity exported from the port of Newcas lc exceeded 12,000 tons a week. In the United Kingdom in 1803 88,292,515 tons of coals were raised, and in ltWú the quantity had increased to 98,150,587 tons.
Ut late Malttc fioffin. U…
Ut late Malttc fioffin. U When we announce the death of Mr. Coffin, our readers will feel that one has passed away whose name demands more than a passing obituary notice at our bands. The late Mr. Coffin was born at Bridgend, on the 7th June, 1785, and had, therefore, nearly completed his eighty-third year. His grandfather was a member of the old Somersetshire family of Coffin, who came over, settled in Glamorganshire, and married a sister of Dr. Price. His father, a man of simple and frugal habits, had, during a long and active business-life, accumu- lated, what in those days was reckoned, a conside! able estate. He was a silent and reserved, though very sen- sible man, and was generally respected for the upright- ness of his character and his shrewd good sense. For many years he was on the commission of the peace for the county, though he took little part in anything but his own business. Mr. Coffin's mother was the daughter of William Morgan, an able and popular medical practioner at Bridgend, and was the niece of the celebrated Dr. Price. Her eldest brother, William Morgan, F.R.S., was the distinguished mathematician and actuary, who virtually founded the Equitable Assurance Society. At eight years old Mr. Coffin was sent to the Cowbridge Grammar School, and after remaining there about eight years, he completed his education at the private academy of the Rev. John Kenrick, a leading Unitarian minister at Exeter. When he was about 19, he returned to Bridg- end, with the intention of carrying on his father's large and lucrative tanning business. Very soon, however, his active and intelligent mind was drawn to the subject of the Welsh coal fields, and after some experimental in- quiries, he determined that the business of his life should be to develope the vast mineral resources of his native county. He began siaking his first pit on a farm of his father's, at Dinas, in the year 1812. Dinas lies up the picturesque valley of the Rhondda, about five or six miles from where it opens out at Pontypridd, into the valley of the Taff. The traveller who now passes along the branch of the Taff Vale Railway, which runs up the Rhondda valley, sees colliery chimneys studding it on every side; and there is not a farm for miles round which is not under a mining lease. When Mr. Coffin began sinking his first shaft, the measures of coal he was about to search for had never been proved, having only been worked for local purposes by levels, where they cropped out. The only roads that existed were in a miserable state. Skilled labour was of course not to be obtained. The few mechanical appliances in the shape of machinery, then known, were strange to the district. With all the energy and determination which were so conspicuous in his character throughout his long and busy life, Mr. Coffin set to work in the face of all these difficulties to carry out his purpose. Of a Sanguine temperament, blended with a fine physical constitution, and backed by the substance of his father, he met and overcame one by one all the ob- stacles, physical and financial, which stood in his way. After many delays and disappointments, and at a great expense, he reached the No. 2 and No. 3 veins of coal, which subsequently became so well known as Coffin's Coal." When he had got his colliery into working order he made, mainly at his own expense, a tramway for carrying the produce to the Glamorgan Canal, which bad been originated for the purpose of transporting iron from Mertbyr to Cardiff, by Richard Crawshay, the founder of the Crawshay family, and had been completed in 1795. The next difficulty which presented itself was to create & market for his coal. With indefatigable per. severance he devoted himself to the business of intro- ducing Welsh coal-hitherto almost unknown-to the notice of the consumer. The expeditions he made to all parts of the kingdom, the experiments he tried to prove its value as fuel, the efforts he made to open outlets for its sale, formed a most interesting part of the story of his life, which he liked to tell, and told so well; for he inherited from hi3 mother the rare art of telling a story with admirable skill and humour. At last, though only gradually and with the lapse of many anxious and laborious years, the South Wales coal, especially Coffin's Coal," began to be sought after and grew into demand. Long before this, however, Mr. Coffin had become a man of mark in his county. His family circle at Bridgend, taking its tone from the pure piety and lofty patriotism of Dr. Price, was the centre of liberal opinions in poli- tics and religion. From these opinions Mr. Coffin never wavered, under all circumstances of worldly temp- tation. In the year 1812 he had, at his father'3 death, moved from Bridgend to Liandaff Court. Here he was brought into constant contact, both in private society and on public occasions, with Tory squires and Church dignitaries. Though his good sense and good feeling made him most anxious to avoid creating any needless contention, his opinions on all subjects of importance were always stated in the most outspoken manner. He never faltered in his objections to what he judged to be social or political abuses; and professed without reserve what he considered, and what have since proved, to be just views on the great subjects of toleration and elec- toral reform. To most of those with whom he was asso- ciated in the discharge of county business, such views were highly distasteful. But there was a certain force and dignity of character about him which made him respected and deferred to even by those who differed from him. A striking instance of this is afforded by the affectionate life-long friendship which existed be- tween himself and the late excellent Mr. Richard Hill, who was a most uncompromising Tory. His influence in public affairs was rendered all the more weighty by his rare business capacity, his shrewd good sense, his imperturbable temper, and his ability as a speaker. He had, indeed, all the natural endowments of an orator; a fine person and presence, a retentive memory, ready wit, and a voice of singular power and sweetness. He used often to say that be had wished on his return from Exeter to study for the bar, and if he bad been allowed to follow his bent he would no doubt have risen to great distinction. He was, of course, too much engaged in affairs to make his public speaking matter of much study. Yet Glamorganshire during his time had no more effective speaker. Never diffuse, and never at a loss for clear and forcible language, be went straight to the point, and though his speeches were never long, they were always lucid and convincing. He possessed, too, brilliant powers of sarcasm, which, however, he rarely used except when his contempt or indignation were roused by what was mean or unjust. Then he used them unsparingly, and they gave a wholesome sharpness both to his public speaking and his conver- sation. During the great Corn-law agitation he came forward against the landlords and the farmers, and almost single-handed fought the battle of free-trade with a genial but searching raillery, which did good service to the cause. 11 Always leave off when they ask you to go on," was his often-repeated maxim on this subject. As the coal trade developed and the iron manufac- ture at Mertbyr increased, the latter began almost to engross the accommodation afforded by the Glamorgan Canal. In this case, as in the case of the Liverpool and Manchester Canal, expostulation," to use the words of Mr. Smiles in his Lives of the Engineers, was of very iittle use. They were too well supplied with business, and when pressed were disposed to be very dictato- rial." Mr. Coffin was the last person to submit to this. With his usual sagacity, he had recognised the value of railways as a means of transport for heavy I' traffic, at a time when they were generally thought t) b a delusion. In 1830 the Liverpool and Manchester R ulway, the first locomotive line, was opened; and very b a delusion. In 1830 the Liverpool and Manchester R ulway, the first locomotive line, was opened; and very s ion afterwards he put forward proposals for a railway from Mertbyr to Cardiff. Ou every hand he was met by active or passive opposition. The canal proprietary of course pooh-poohed the schemehis fellow-colliery workers were most of them sceptical or faint-hearted. But with untiring perseverance he went on until, having gained the support of same influential men who bad confidence in him, he was able to bring in a bill. After a long period of anxiety-for the bill was opposed with the greatest determination in committee-it was passed in June, 1836, and the Taff Vale Railway Company was formed, with the late Sir Jehn Guest as its chairman, and Mr. Coffin as one of its directors. With the greatest difficulty the capital was subscribed, mainly through the personal influence and persuasion of these two gentle- men, and the works were at last completed. But for several years after the line was opened in 1841, it paid no dividend, and there was dismay and discontent amongst the shareholders. One unlucky plasterer, who, acting on Mr. Coffin's advice, had invested part of his savings in its shares, seriously threatened to shoot him. He lived, however, to be the recipient of nine per cent. dividend, and to express great contrition for his want of faith. The confidence of Mr. Coffin in the undertaking never wavered. He knew—and he told the shareholders—that there lay on either side of their line inexhaustible sources of traffic, which, with a little patience and management would, before long, ■ make it the most prosperous in the kingdom, and Car- diff, which he had remembered almost a village, a large and flourishing town. In a comparatively few years these predictions were verified. He succeeded to the chairmanship; gradually the dividend rose from no- thing to four, and from four to seven per cent. under his prudent and conscientious supervision. Fresh collieries were sunk, new iron-works started, the whole district was opened up, branches were extended into the smaller valleys. With a capital of more than a million and a half the Taff Vale Railway now pays a dividend of ten per cent., and Cardiff has a population of more than 40,000. In the year 1841 be was joined in the colliery by the late Mr. William Ogle Hunt, the parliamentary agent. By this time the tide of prosperity bad set in upon the undertaking. For several years the firm of Coffin and Company made large profits, and Mr. Coffin reaped some, though a very inadequate, reward for his enterprise and public spirit. "I dragged a dead man at my tail for forty years," was his pithy description of his business career. In the year 1852 he retired from business altogether, under a very favourable arrange- ment with Mr. Hunt, who continued it as the lessee. In the same year he received a requisition from a large number of the Liberal electors of Cardiff, asking him to become a candidate for the borough. Up to this time it had been a pocket borough of the Bute family, and the late Marquis of Bute, succeeding to it as an inheritance, always nominated the Member. When however, the Marquis devoted a large part of his for- tune to the construction of the magnificent docks which bear his name, he was helping to bring about a result which he never contemplated. Cardiff, from an insig- nificant place, grew to be an important seaport and town, with a large number of electors who held indepen- dent political views. Though grateful for all that en- lightened self-interest had induced the Marquis to do for Cardiff, they felt that their gratitude did not justify the neglect of their ewn free duties as electors. Holding Liberal views in politics, they were represented" by a gentleman (the late Right Hon. John Nicholl) of dif- ferent political opinions, and a nominee of the Bute Trustees. They were determined to vindicate the fran- chise, and Mr. Coffin conferred a last service upon Car- diff by coming forward to open the borough. No one eise could have done it. He had justly earned the confidence of his fellow-citizens by his con- sistent conduct as a politician. At a time when Liberal opinions were most unpopular in the county, he bad fearlessly claimed the right of free worship, an extended franchise, and free trade. With the humbler classes his popularity was unbounded and he certainly de- served it. Beneath an apparent coldness of manner which he put on from his dislike for all mere profession of feeling, there lay a wealth of genuine kindness and humanity. During more than forty years his sympa- thies had been strongly pronounced in favour of those who toil and those who suffer. In the Justice-room, at the Board of Guardians, at Quarter Sessions, at his works, the poor had always feund him their true friend —merciful in judgment, their protector against oppres- sion, their counsellor in trouble, the peacemaker in their disputes. After a severe and close contest Mr. Coffin was elected. It would answer no useful end to recall the bitter animosities which the contest caused. Fortu- nately, the present representative of Cardiff at the same time honestly reflects the opinions of the majority of the electors, and happens to be a member of the Bute family. And if the time should come when these quali. fications cease to be united in the same person, we trust thst the head of that family, to which Cardiff owes so much, will be wise enough and generous enough to see that no territorial influence should be used to control the opinions and the consciences of men. The arena of the House of Commons requires a train- ing which no natural talent can supply, and Mr. Coffin, who entered it at 68, with his usual good sense, declined to risk his reputation as a speaker. He soon found the late sittings very trying, and feeling that in opening the borough he had fulfilled his mission, he resigned his seat in 1857. The last years ot his life he passed in England, where he went, that he might have the society and attention of some members of his family who were attached to him by deep feelings of gratitude and affection. But to the last, he retained the liveliest interest in his native county and all that went on there. The Cardiff Times was always the first thing opened on a Saturday morn. ing, and the trade report from Cardiff, the doings at Quarter Sessions, and all the local news of any interest were read to him before anything else. Every autumn he spent two or three months on the Glamorganshire coast-mostly at or ntar Southerndown, the scene of his earliest recollections. In his 77th year, his sight became obscured by cataract. With great fortitude he underwent two oper. ations, and he regained sight enough to be able to do everything but read. After a long interval of freedom from any ailment, he took a slight cold about a fortnight ago. It was followed by great langour and loss of appetite, and growing gradually weaker, he died at his residence, Prince's-gate, Hyde-park, on the 15th instant' from the mere physical decay of old age. That decay fell only upon the poor human tenement. To the last, his clear intellect remained unclouded, and his kind heart was thoughtful of those around him. His remains were brought down yesterday, and privately interred in the family burying place, at Bridgend. None of his brothers or sisters ever married, and he died a bachelor
------PENARTH.
PENARTH. THE DOCK.—A fair wind having sprung up, about twenty vessels left the dock during the week, and about a dozen vessels arrived. PETTY SESSIONS. (Before Rev. H. II. RICKARDS, and J. S. CORBETT, Esq.) WAGES.—Mr. York, proprietor of the Grangetown Iron Works, was summoned by James Scott for.non-payment of wages. Settled out of court. ASSAULT.—Joseph Amor, a smith at Grange Works, was summoned by James Scott for an assault, committed on the 28th January. It would appear that this was another case of manager versus men, and as these disturbances were of frequent occurrence at these works, the magistrates expressed their determination to deal severely with every case that came before them, hoping by this means to put a stop to such a disgraceful state of things. CATTLE STRAYING.—John Reynolds, of Leckwith, was charged with allowing his cattle to stray. Fined 6d. and costs. DRUNK AND RIOTOUS.-Itiargaret Murray, of Maughan- street, Penarth, was summoned by P.C. Pickwick, and charged with being drunk and riotous on the 16th. Fined 5s. and costs, or 7 days. Committed in default. STEALING CLOTHES.—Albert Boteler, a sailor, was charged by the police with stealing clothes from a ship which had since sailed from the docks. There was no one to prosecute, and the case was dismissed.

"TTTGEORGES.
"TTTGEORGES. It was the stern old miller man That knit his swarthy brow, And said the gentle pig must die, And sealed it with a vow. AMATEUR PIG KILLING.—On Wednesday, Feb. 14th, a miller, not a thousand miles from here, to save the expense of a butcher, undertook to kill a pig himself, but from his ignorance of porcine anatomy, he stuck it in the wrong place, and the pig refused to bleed. In sore dhmay he called for a friend- And this he cried in thrilling tones, Fast fell the sweat drops big Oh, Ned, come here! Alas alas The pig! the pig the pig! Oh, Ned, I am afraid I've stuck him at the wrong end. Ned found that the end was right, but tne place was wron-,7 so he tried another, but with the same result— the pig declined to bleed. They then agreed that the only way was to cut his head off at once, which was accordingly done, and the pig could not help bleeding at such gentle persuasion, and so was released from his sufferings. This doleful tragedy was begun at 11 a.m., and was not completed till a p.m. Is not this a case for the society for preventing cruelty to animals ?

|THE FENIAN RISING IN IPELA-N,D.
THE FENIAN RISING IN IPELA-N,D. CONCENTRATION* OF INSLKGENTK IN THE KILLARNET MOUNTAINS. in consequence of urgent eemmnnications from the magistrates of Killarney, representing that a coast- guard station had been sacked and the arms taken, and a mounted orderly carrying despatches shot, his horse and his arms taken, and the town threatened by large bodies of armed men, the Government immediatelv sent troops from Cork, who arrived at Killarney on Wed- nesday night; and by two o'clock a force of 1,000 men, including cavalry and artillery from the Curragh and other places, under the command of Sir A. Horsiord, would be concentrated on the Mal ow Junction station. The body of men who threatened Killarney hive been diverted from that object, and at the latest intelligence were moving on Kenmare. followed by the :roots. DUBLIN, Thursday Evening. A wel'-armed force, supposed to be coraminded by a Colonel 0 tunnor, located in the mountains near Kil- larney, stopped a mail car, but allowed it to proceed after some delay. Not sufficient police to pursue. A body of marines guard the bank at Cahirciveen. The wounded policeman still survives, but no hopes are en- tertained of his recovery. All the Fenians appear to be concentrating in Killarney mountains, DUBLIN, Friday. The wires are again cut between Cahirciveen and Valentia. A paaty of Fenians have been surrounded at a place called Toomies Wood. The movement is already a failure, armed men wandering about dis- heartened. Eight hundred Feniins who went off through the gap of Dunloe have not yet been come up with. The families of the gentry in the district occupy Killarney hotel, which is strongly guarded. Dublin and the rest of the country is perfectly quiet. Another Dublin telegram says there are now almost ao military at the Curragh. Ti^y- have all gone to Kerry, Brigadier Horsford in command at Killarney has told off bodies of military for night duty on the Toomies mountains. A later telegram reports Kerry quiet, and there is no fear of a further rising. Troops are scouring he woods near Killarney. Ihe Fenians are reported to be footsore and exhausted. In consequence of the Fenian excitement Lord Straithnairn has left town for Ireland. U
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. THURSDAY. In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Cianricarde in- quired what information the Government had received con- firmatory of the reported Fenian disturbances in freland, and elicited from the Earl of Derby an explanation similar to that which had been given at an earlier hour in the Huuse of Com- mons by the Home Secretary, and which will be found below. The Public Schools Bill having been read a second time, on the motion of Lord Derby, their lordships adjourned at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock. In the House of Commons, Mr. Bruen having asked whether Ministers had received any information respecting the Fenian disturbances which were reported to have occurred in Ireiand, Mr. Vialpoie said that early on Wednesday after- noon intelligence was received to the effect that the telegraph wires had been cut between Killarney, Mallow, and Valentia; but at a late hour they learnt that the wires had been re- paired, and were being watched by the company's servants. At eleven o'clock the same night intelligence reached that an attack had been made on a police or coast-guard station at Cahirciveen and an orderly shot at. Wtiereupon it was de- termined that the Chief Secretary for Ireland should go over to Dublin without delay, and he accordingly started thai morning. Subsequent reports stated that the orderly whf had been shot at was not killed, but that his horse and arm had been taken; tTiat armed parties were marching upon KiL lartiey that one of the supposed Fenian chiefs, calling him. selfCaptain Moriarty, had been arrested in a car, and letters found upon his person which implicated him in these trans- actions; and that troops had been sent for from Tralee and the Curragh, all of which must already have airived at Kil- larney but that no other movements ot the kind were on foot in any other part of Ireland. Major Jervis asked what course the Government meant to pursue in the case of Colone Nelson and Lieutenant Brand for the parts they had taken in the courtsmartial held during the Jamaica disturbances, and elicited as an answer from the Chancellor of the Exchequer the statement that if any persons in her Majesty's service, obeying the commands ot a superior officer, performed acts which were afterwards legally impugned, it would be tije duty of the Government, of course, to defend them. In answer to questions put by Lord R. Montagu and Mr. Os- borne with reference to the Reform resolutions, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the main object of proceeding by reso- lution was to obtain the sanction of the house to the princi- ples upon which the bill he hoped to bring in should ke founded. Under these circumstances he was not prepared at that moment to enter into the details of the bill. Sir S. Northcote obtained ledve, with the support of Mr. Gibson, to bring in a bill abolishing the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and substituting a Secretary of State, with a seat in Parliament, in his place. Mr. Walpole obtained leave to bring in a bill amending the law relating to mtirder, and giving further protection to new-born children; and a bill to provide for carrying into effect capital punishment within prisons. FRIDAY. In the House of Lords, The Earl of Derby said that the Government had received no information with respect to the Atlantic Cable having been cut by the insurgents in Ireland. There was every rea- son to believe the report was unfounded. All the informa- tion they had was, that the body of insurgents, variously estimated at from 109 to 800 men, began to retire the mo- ment the troops were brought against them into Toomie's Wood, and preparations were being made to surround them. Lord Vivian called attention to the letter of Mr. Walpole to the Mayor of Chester, with respect to calling out the Volunteers in aid of the civil authority in cases of emergency. If this was the law, he regretted it; and he wished to ask whether the Government would propose an alteration in the law, to enable the Volunteers to act in their military capacity like the Yeomanry. He was sure the local authorities would support such measures, for at Chester great mischief might have been done, and the Volunteers, although willing and able, might not be able to prevent it. The Earl of Belmore replied thet the Volunteers could only be embodied or called upon to serve in the case of a foreign invasion. They could not be called under any other cir- cumstances, except in their civil capacity as special con- stables. He did not think that there was any reason to alter the law. Earl Grey said it was desirable that Volunteers should be enabled to act as an organised body under their own officers, and not merely as special constables with rifles in their hands. The Earl of Ellenborough observed that the Volunteer was not deprived of his civil rights, and in preserving the peace he might use his arms in cases where a civiliam might do so. The Earl of Malmesbury said, as an officer of Volunteers he believed the laws were thoroughly understood by the Volunteers. The Act was quite clear, and gave the Volun- teers no authority to act as volunteers in the case of civil tumult or commotion. They could only be called on to serve, and could only be armed, as special constables. Earl Granville assented to this view of the case, but he thought it was desirable that the local authorities should be clearly informed of the real state of the law. In the House of Commons, Mr. H. Baillie gave notice that on the fifth Reform resolu- tion of the Government he should propose an amendment to the effect that no elector of any county or borough should be allowed to have more than one vote. Mr. Otway gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the House, on Monday next, to an inquest recently held in Limerick upon a private in the 715th regiment, whose death was considered by the jury to have been accelerated by cor- poral punishment inflicted upon him, upon the 14th January, by order of a district court-martial. Mr. C. Fortesque asked tha Government if they had any information from Ireland to give the House in addition to that which was received yesterday. Mr. Walpole said The information received yesterday is to this effect, that the armed bands who were said to be marching upon Killarney doubled back when within fourteen miles of that town, and went into Toomie's Wood. Sir A. Horseford, although his force was not large enough to enable him to follow them into the wood, expected to be able to surround it, and therefore it may be considered that the movement is now pretty neatly, if not quite, put a stop to. No other in- telligence has reached the Home office, except that the Irish Government adds emphatically that it may be considered that the present movement in the south westtrn part of Ire- land is completely arrested. The second reading of the Trades' Unions Bill was post- poned until next Monday. The House went into committee on the duty on dogs. On the motion of Mr. Hunt, a resolution was agreed to altering the Excise duty of 12s. upon dogs to an Excise license of 5s. per dog. In the case of packs of hounds the license in future will be £5 where the number does not ex- ceed 20, X7 10 where the number exceeds 20 and does not exceed 30, and X2 10s. for every additional number of 10 over 20. LONDON CORN MARKET.—FRIDAY. At the commencement of the market business moved slowly, but it became steadier as the day advanced. Mon- day's prices were paid for all articles.

Proprietor, DAVID DUNCAN, at his (aeneral Printing-, Offices, 10, St. Mary-street, in the parish of St. Mary, in the Borough of Cardiff, in the county of Qlamorgaa t SATURDAY, FEB. 23, 1867.
-_----------------------LOCAL…
LOCAL NEWS. VoiVJfTEER A AMS.—The oomraandig officer of the Artil- lery Vohmteers has received orders to remove all their guns and arias into the county gaol. A TELEGRAM from New Orleans, of Jan. 3!, states that by advices from Havannah, the quarantine on vessels from London, Liverpool, Cardiff, and Jamaica has been raised. THE CARDIFF CIRCVS CASE. -A first meeting was held in the Bristol Bankruptcy Court, on Friday, 15th instant, in the case of Mr. B. Boorn, circus proprietor. Mr. Charles Ellis, seedsman, Angel-street, was appointed assignee of the bankrupt's estate. TAFF VALE RAILWAY.—We have learnt with much satisfaction that at a meeting of the Directors of the Taff Vale Railway Company held on Thursday, a dividend for the last half year was declared at the rate of lu per cent per annum. MK. ROBERT'S STRING BAND—In our notice of the Tradesmen's Ball at the Windsor Hotel, we omitted to state that the band engaged on the occasion was a local one. It was under the leadership of Mr. E Roberts, and the very excellent playing was openly remarked upon. INQUEST.—An inquest was held by Mr. E. B. Reece, deputy- coroner, at the Town-hall, on Friday evening, on the body found in the canal on Thursday, as reported in our first edition. The wife of the deceased man, Jones, who was a servant of Mr. Wyndham Lewis, had been fetched from Bristol, where she had gone on her way to Ireland, under the impression that her husband had deserted her. The evidence adduced rendered it probable that the deceased had met his death by falling into the canal while intoxi- cated. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned. WSNVOE CASTLE COURSING MATCH. SECOND DAY.—FKIDAY.
