SIR,- I can fully endorse everything said by Inodorous," in your last number, and as I see visitors are appointed weekly, I do wish the visitors -would just visit the institution between nine,and ten o'clock in the evening, and then, I feel assured, we should breathe a purer air.—Yours, &c., FOXY. February 25th, 1867. THE FREE LIBRARY. SIR,-Being a frequent visitor of the above valuable In- stitution, I have several times .noticed a number of little boys running about the room, to the constant annoyance of the readers, especially in the evening part of the day. Hop- ing that the Librarian will devote a little of his time to the reading-room, as well as the library upstairs.—Yours, &c., Cardiff, Feb. 27, 1867. LATEST NEWS. LETTERS ON QUEENSLAND. Slit,- Many (besides the writer of these lines) have read with increasing interest the epistles of your correspondent from Queensland, which appeared in your valuable paper some weeks ago. Although I am quite a disinterested party, not having the remotest idea of ever moving to that distant clime, yet I was never more interested in reading foreign correspondence, that I, in perusing the above-named letters, which reflect great credit on the writer, I sincerely hope they will soon be renewed.—Yours, &c., X. Y. Z. [W e expect the continuation of Three Months' Experi- ence in Queensland," by the next mail, and if it arrives, will be published in due course.-Ed. C. T.] A RECENT POLICE CASE. SrR.-In your impression of the 23rd February, in the re- port of an "Indecent Assault case, on the Rhymney rail- way embankment, permit me to state that the women in question have nothing to do with or at the Moira Hotel, nor have had since I have been the proprietor, but live in Con- stellation-street. By inserting this you will greatly oblige. -Yours, &c. GEORGE HAWKINS. Moira Hotel, Splotlands, Cardiff, 25th Feb., 1867. THE BAKERS AND SHORT WEIGHT. SIR, -lIIost of your readers are doubtless aware that there is an Act of Parliament which makes it compulsory on bakers and bread sellers to weigh their bread, if requested, on delivery to the purchaser, and in case of refusal they are liable to a penalty on information being given before the magistrates; but it so happens that what is everyone's business is nobody's, and there are very few persons to be found who are willing to take upon themselves the odium incurred by an informer. The consequence is, that the dis- honest tradesman pursues his nefarious business unchecked, while his straightforward and just neighbours suffer, both in purse and min i, by observing that the unjust man is patronised before him, because, forsooth, he pretends to sell the four-pound loaf, it may be only one half-penny per loaf cheaper while if the loaf was weighed, as it ought to be, it would be found from four to six ounces short of the re- quired weight. Thus, that which at first sight appeared to be cheap, is discovered to be dearer than the loaf which is sold at the higher rate. Perhaps I may be asked, whose fault is it There are, I think, two answers to the ques- tion. In the first place, the customer does net insist on having the goods weighed, not doubting the honesty of the baker, and beside, is it not a half penny cheaper than at other shops r This is a sufficient inducement to purchase, and hoodwinks the buyers, and so the fraud is continued and the people are content! In the second place, I fancy the public will agree with me, that there is not an efficient super- vision of weights and scales and dishonest dealers in Cardiff and locality. Such a state of things ought not to exist in a town like this, or, indeed, in any other place but I confine myself to Cardiff, where it is well known, and the above statement can be confirmed by several of the trade and by the public at large, if they will only take the trouble to weigh the bread, and satisfy themselves, and by so doing vindicate the tradesmen who has his price, but takes care to keep in his shop "just weights and an even balance." I am afraid I am trespassing on your space, but allow me to say that if the Inspector would bestir himself in this matter, in Cardiff, dishonesty could not be carried on with the impunity it is now, and the poor would get value for their pence, which they do not at present.-I am, &c., OLD HONESTY.
PHYSICAL FORCES.
PHYSICAL FORCES. The Pall Mall Gazette, in the recently reprinted work of the eminent leader of the South Wales Circuit, observes:— Mr. Urove's essay on "the Uorreiation of Physical Forces," being the substance of a course of lectures de- livered in the London Institution in 1848," was pub- lished in 1846 in a pamphlet of fifty pages. This work, which in the last two editions occupies 271 pages, has undergone an extension of details without any alteration in principles;. and it is so well known as an impartial and popular review of the bearings of the question, that it is oar duty to welcome the appearance of a new edi- tion-for, so far as we can find, it is a reprint of the fourth edition of 1862—rather than enter upon any spe- cial discussion of its contents. The discourse on Continuity, which was delivered at last year's meeting of the British Association is ap- jjCIIUoU vu LUO plCOtut cutuuu. Ib I.IA.:) Olou ucou puu- lished separately in a thin volume. Mr. Grove complains, not unfairly, that he has been regarded by many rather as the historian of the pro- gress made in this branch of thought than as one who has had anythirg to do with its initiation." We think he may regard this fact as a compliment to the modest yet judicial manner in which he has discharged the high function of philosophical historian; and he may even felicitate himself upon bis escape from a squabble about priority of discovery in which scientific men often abuse one another with all the petty virulence of an evangelical reviewer. The doctrine of continuity discussed in Mr. Grove's address is really a development of the principle demon- strated in the larger volume, and in its treatment the author has exhibited that judicial t-pirit which has ren. dered his former essay the standard disquisition on the subject. Continuity involves the correlation of species -of the forces evolving form and habit; and Mr. Grove traces the existence of the principle of variation by a process of change, gradual, continuous, but almost in. conceivably slow, not only in the size and distribution of planetary bodies, but more especially in the succes- sion of species in organic life and of geological periods as facts ir dH, world's history under our more immedi. ate cognizance. In referring to the appearance and ex- tinction of species-a fact in itself beyond doubt-as having taken place with all the slow connectedness of changes going on around us, Mr. Grove is inclined to accept the theory of Darwin as an explanation of the mode of development. But the validity of any such theory cannot at all affect the truth of the observed progress which, by whatever method, is slowly advancing now as heretofore. In Mr. Grove's preface we find the following :—I thought I had sufficiently guarded myself from being supposed to deny that there are er have been catastro- phes but it appears from some comments that I have not done so. If sea or river undermine a cliff, and the cliff falls, it is undoubtedly a cataclysm if I tread on a beetle, it is a cataclysm to the beetle; but formation and destruction are very different things, and the tenor of my discourse applies to genesis, not to extinction. Even in phenomena such as those of geology, though there were doubtless cataclysms, and sometimes on a much larger scale than at other times, yet the evidence seems to me to point to their being limited in extent at any one period, when compared with the whole terres- trial surface." One cannot help thinking, by the way, that the con- fusion of tongues" was the very worst cataclysm that ever befel this unhappy world-it is ever leading us into a stilt greater confusion of ideas. Had Mr. Grove pur- sued the idea involved in the statement that the fall of a cliff and the death of a beetle are alike cataclysmic, it would have become apparent that every act and event is a cataclysm, differing only in apparent magnitude and flwiftness of occurrence, and consequently that the term applied means nothing for the reasoning he has used regarding the continuity of events applies equally to such cataclysms. Now the idea popularly attached to a cataclysm is that of an accidental" eventofsucb magni. tude and suddenness that it is to be reckoned apart from the continuous evolution of natural changes. If such be admitted to apply justly to any event in nature, whether of genesis or extinction, Mr. Grove's entire dpctrine of continuity is involved therebv in a fatal contradiction. Mr. Grove has observed that—" The most convincing argument in favour of continuity which could be presen- aented to a doubting mind would be the difficulty it would feel in representing to itself any per saltum act f nature. Who would not be astonished at beholding an oak tree spring up in a day, and not from seed or shoot ? We are forced by experience, though often unconscious y, to believe in continuity as t ) all effects now taking place if any one be anomalous, we endeavour, by tracing its- history and concomitant circumstances, te find its cause, i.e. to relate it to antecedent phenomena." This clearly shows that Mr. Grove has not been led by a mi.,use 01 words to admit the possibility of a cataclysm in the sense in which some people use that phrase. That men are beccming attentive to the claims an teachings of what is so fitly called Natural Philosop.1} is apparent in the fact, among others, that recent mis- givings concerning our suppl* of coal were almost wh -ily dispelled by the confidence of our increasing power oter physical agencies. There is a higher and wider innut;) ce at work which springs from this all-regarding science for we find an increasingly reverent tone in the specula- tions of on r intellectual leaders, and a general modera- tion of political and religions feeling, which can hay. bad no other source-, and which places the present tiroe- in favourable contrast to the days not long gone whi- the principles of anarchy and atheism on the one side and of bigotry and intolerance on the ether were the only results of centuries of a narrower philosophy. And science will more and more assert its higher functions, not only in evolving the needed energies of the future, but also in explaining their true significance. And if it tells us that all our human systems and this earth itself must pass onwards through continuous change, it shows us, too, that the influences of the universe are so inter- related among themselves, and so perfectly co-ordinated with human conditions and hopes, that even its end will be as natural as the dawn of its brightest day.
Cardiff Sbipping Intelligence.…
Cardiff Sbipping Intelligence. MARITIME INTELLIGENCE. Among the arrivals during the past week is a large Spanish steamer, intended for the Spanish Mail Service, which is now in Penarth Dock. She has on board about from seventy to eighty men, but her full complement are one hundred and twenty. She is being coaled by Messrs. D. Davis and Sons, with their Upper Four Feet, which is in high repute with this company. She is bound to Havan- nah, thence to Cadiz, and will require about fifteen hundred tons for her bunkers alone. Freights are gradually improving, both in the Mediter- ranean and long trades, and many of the vessels that have lain up during the winter are being fitted. The Quebec trade for the coming season is very un- promising, the price of timber there being very high, whilst there are large stocks on hand at home. Although most of the collieries are on short work, and the export trade at the present moment is somewhat depressed, one house during the past three days has added from six to seven thousand tons to their stem. Last week Messrs. Batchelor launched a steam-towing vessel, which they have built for the Bute Trustees, to be used in towing vessels within the docks. Its quality of iron, and workmanship arc very highly spoken of, the plates having stood severe tests at the testing machine.

At the Bristol Police Court on Thursday, at the insti- gation of the Board of Trade, an information had been laid against the Cardiff and Penarth Steam Towing Company, the owners of the steam tag Marquis, for that they did, upon the 6th day of November last, proceed upon a certain voyage or excursion with passengers, with- out having received from the Board of Trade a certifi- cate, whereby they had rendered themselves liable to a penalty not exceeding £100; and a second information had been laid against Robert Cbadwick, the master of the said steamer, for the same offence, whereby be bad rendered himself liabla to a penalty not exceeding £ '20. Mr. Henry Brittan, jun., appeared on behalf of the Board of Trade to support the information, and Mr. James In- skip was for the defendants. Mr. Inskip said that his clients pleaded guilty to both informations. Mr. Brice observed that as he understood the question of mitigation of the penalty was to be raised, the magis- trates would like to bear some of the circumstances of the case. Mr. Brittan replied that these proceedings were insti- tuted by the Board of Trade against the defendants, the owners and master of the steam-tug, the Marquis, of Cardiff. On the morning of the 6th of November last this steamer, which possessed no certificate from the Board of Trade, was seen to take a number of passengers on board—between 200 and 300-a much greater number than she would have been entitled to have car- ried had she possessed the certificate of the Board of Trade. He might mention that the passengers consisted of a number of prize-fighters, and his learned friend c mid not certaiuly say that they constitute! the cap- tain's wife or family, the only persons beyond his crew that he was allowed to carry—(a laugh). The vessel was advertised to go to tbe Holmes, but the captain stated that she was taken possassion of by these gentlemen," who made him take her to some place in Cbepstow river, where they disembarked, the prize fight took place, and the steamer returned to Bristol with her passengers. The learned advocate pointed out that the vessel bad never been surveyed, as was the case with ordinary pas- senger steamers, and that there was no protection what- ever for the lives of those who were then on board. He was told that the practice of which the Board of Trade now complained prevailed to a considerable extent at Cardiff, and he must therefore press for the full penalty and costs. Mr. Inskip said he was instructed on behalf of the company that that was the only case in whioh they had committed any breach of the statute. On the occasion in question a request was sent from Bristol to the manager of the company at Cardiff that ^e should send a boat to take a few persons from Bristoi to the Holmes and back. He (the manager) stated, ard if necessary would give evidence upon oath, that he bolieved the pur- pose for which the steamer was required was to take a few persons who were going down to the Holmes to in- spect the works that were being carried en there. He had not any idea that she was required for the purpose of carrying a large number of people, much less for such a purpose as prize fighting. His friend (Mr. Brit- tae) did not charge the company or their servants that they knew that the steamer was engaged for the pur- poses of a fight, and with regard to his remark that the practice very much prevailed at Cardiff, he repeated that the company had never before offended. The Marquis was formerly licensed to carry passengeis, but that license had been allowed to run out and had not been renewed, and the manager incautiously sent the boat to Bristol, the sum cf zClO having been offered for her use for the day. Under these circumstances, feel. ing that an example would be made, and become public, he trusted that theit worships would not feel it neces- sary to inflict the full penalty. The captain was a man in a poor position of life, and whatever he did be did under the direction of bis masters, and if be had not done 86 he was order, d he might have risked his situation. Mr. Brice remarked that prize-fighters and their seconds were not to be mistaken for persons sent to superintend works upon the Holmes, and the captain ought to have seen, upon personal inspection, that they were not the persons whom he had been sent to take. Mr. Brittan: We do not charge him with taking prize-fighters, but passengers. When he had got a party of prize-fighters on board I expect that he was very much in their bands. The magistrates imposed the mitigated penalty of £50, to include the costs, upon the owners, and a penalty of X5, also including costs, upon the master. THE LLANTRISANT COMMON LITIGATION. In the Court of Chancery, on Monday, before Vice- Chancellor Sir John Stuart, the case came on of the Trustees of the Marquis of Bute v. Lewis and others (the portreve and burgesses of Llantrisant). This was an exception to the joint answer of certain defen- dants by name, and the portreeve and the burgesses of the borough of Llantrisant, for insufficiency. The bill was filed, par*; lug that tko title- of the; PIRIIICLir, uuder the will of the late Marquis, to the freehold and inheritance of the two com- mons and wastes in the bill mentioned, and the minerals thereunder, might be ascertained, and the plaintiffs quieted in their jrosseasion. The bill also prayed that, if necessary, an issue might be directed, and an action in ejection by the burgesses re- strained, and also f,r an injunction to restrain the defendants from removing the documents in the chest, the key of which ought to be in the custody of the constable of the Castle of Llantrisant The 35th paragraph of the bill, on which the 40th interro- tory was based, the answer to which was now in question, was briefly an allegation that neither the burgesses, nor the portreeve, nor any of them, nor the portreeve and bur- gesses in their alleged corporate capacity, ever exercised or performed, or professed to exercise or perform, any right or act of ownership in or upon or in relation to the property; but that the plaintiffs' predecessors had always been owners thereof. The interrogatory inquired, as to these facts, how and when the acts of ownership were exercised? The an- swer denied that it was true that the burgesses or any of them, or the portreeve and burgesses in their corporate capacity, had not until the time specified in the interrogatory exercised act# of owntrship, and alleged that from time immemorial they had exercised all acts of ownership that the owners of land ordinarily exercise; that they had drained and grubbed up parts of the lands, made roads over the same, and put up the gates thereon; except as aforesaid they to set forth the particulars, description, and nature of the acts of ownership." Bacon, Q.C., and Freeling, for the exception, submitted that the defendants, having partially answered, had no light to stop and refuse to answer further. Dickinson, Q.C., and Chapman Barber, contended, first that the particulars withheld were wholly immaterial to the relief asked by the bill; second, that the rule as to answering in part was varied by the 4th rule of the 15th of the Consoli- dated Orders; and, thirdly, that what the interrogatories Bought was not an admission of evidence of the:plaintitfs' title, but the evidence of the title of the defendants, which they were not bound to disclose. The Vice-Chancellor said that the plaintiff, anticipating that the defendants might set up by way of defence a pos- session," averred that no acts of ownership were exercised till 1856, and on that founded his interrogatory calling on the defendants to set forth possibly too many particulars, and among others when the acts o: ownership were performed. To this interrogatory the answer was ostentatiously insufli cient. The exception must be allowed. There was also a second exception of a similar kind which was also allowed. Solicitor for the plaintiffs, Clark, for Luard and Sherley, Cardiff; solictors for the defendants, Wrentmore and Son.
--. CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH.
CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH. The members of the corporation met yesterday (Friday), to hold an ordinary monthly meeting of the Board of Health and a special meeting of the Town Council. Owing to the down stair rooms being all occupied by the various Courts, the session, was held in the ante-room of the Assembly-room. The Mayor presided, and there were also present Aldermen Reece, Alexander, and Pride, and Councillors P. Bird, Elliott, Vachell, Jones, Flint, Whiffen, Bowen, Evans, Dr. Taylor, Winstone, Jenkins, Ingledew, Nell, and Spencer. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Clerk suggested that the time had come when he should be authorised to prepare an estimate for a new rate Alderman ALEXANDER said business was dull now in Car- diff, and as a rate would not be absolutely needed till June, he was opposed to making it before. Mr. JONES said there were expensive works provided for in the current rate which had not yet been actually incurred, and therefore there would be no want of money for current expenses. The Board deferred the preparation for the next rate accord- ingly. The Taff Vale Company applied to the Board to amend the rate. They were rated en £ 7,564 in respect of wharfage. Of this £ 2,087 wa-s collected by them from other tenants of wharves, for Lord Bute and the Company considered they ought only to be rated for these wharves actually in their own occupation. The Clerk said the Board had the power of amending the rate as requested, if they deemed it expe- dient. The MA YON. said the Board could not treat the laff Vale Company differently from other people. They had had the opportunity of appealing, and as they had not done so, he did not think the Board should grant their request, espe- cially as a similar matter was now before the Court of Queen's Bench on the Rhymney Railway Company's appeal. The Clerk was directed to inform the Taff Vale Company that pending the decision in the Rhymney case the Board would not forego any of its legal rights in respect to the existing rate. The Finance Committee having reported in favour of a fire-proof muniment room being prepared for keeping the town records and documents in. Mr. Waring was directed to present an eetimate and plans for fitting up such a room. Tho Public Works Committee reported in favour of ter- minating the existing scavenging contracts on March 31. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that the scavengers scraped off the macadamised eurfaoe of the road, taking away the stone as soon M it was pulverised for manure, instead of spreading it over the loose newly laid stone, whero it would help to bind and fjrm a surface. Thousands of tons of stone—half that was laid on Bute-road—he thought were lost in this way. He be'iioved the scavenger contractors had lost heavily by the r-i o jntracta, and was willing to let them off mercifully.— Mr. JONSB said the committee retained £ 60 due to each contrac- tor, security against depreciation in the plant entrusted to them by the Board.—Mr. JENKINS referred to the very bad weather as a source of loss to the contractors.—Alderman ALEXANDER could not see why men should be let off a con- tra :t because-they had lost money by it. Mr. WINSTONE said the Board had made the men bankrapt's by holding then to the contracts thus far. Several members spoke of the sofi, stone used in the road repair as being unfit for the purpose, and rendering it impossible to keep the surface hard and clean. It was agreed to terminate the existing contracts. —Mr. WINSTONE proposed that in the new contracts to be advertised for, the whole town should be let in one contract, as by this means the expense of two staffs would be reduced to one, and a higher and more responsible class of men would tender for the work.—Mr. FI INT wished it clearly under- stood that in future contracts the sureties would be held liable for the thorough execution of the work.-Alderman RE3 .:J3 eaid the Board ought to make no contract at a price belo-iv what the Surveyor told them the work could be done for. It was agreed to advertise for tenders for the scaveng- ing either separately or jointly for the v. hole town, as the bidders might chose to tender.—Mr. JONES slid the plant was insufficient. The scavengers oould scrape more in two hours than they had carts to remove in a day. 11 v/ae referred to the "Works committee to procure more cm-tt).—Mr. Waring said he had t»-te i the ballast guanite alongside the limestone, in Rothsay- terrace, and recommended using the former in future, in th hading thoroughfares, as being much more durab. o and cheaper in the end, though it cost fifty percent, more par ton. He had been directed to procure a roller for crushing the newly 'aid stones, and had been waiting to see how the one in Newport answered. He had no doubt it would answer well in new roads, but doubted as to the par- tial I op air cf an old road.—Mr. ELLIOTT said be had seen the Newport roller and it answered well. Mr. Waring was direct ri to procure on:1 forthwith, to cost too Dr. -"aina sent in his resignation as officer of health, statin j; that his repo~t on the sanitary state of the town would soon be sent in. The MAYOR spoke in high terms of the energy an l assiduity which had characterised Dr. Paine's discharge of the dutiet) for many years, especially in seasons of epidemic, and said he was entitled to the warm thanks of the Bctird. Mr. VACHELL and Mr. P. Bum spoke to the same effect. Alderman ALEXANDER suggested that Dr. Paine should be asked to continu: his services for another year. Mr. INGLEDEW asked why he resigned. The MAYOR said he did not know. He proposed that they should ask him tr, continue in office for a short period. His time waa very much occupied by private practice. This suggestion was agreed to. „ The contract for iron railings in the street back of the slaughter house was awarded to Messrs. Newbery and Co. for £ 56 10s. Mr. Wiring's report on the drainage system of Cardiff was laid before the meeting, and on motion of the Mayer its consideration wes postponed to the next meeting. Mr. WiNRTONE said he had submitted to Mr. Waring a scheme for the drainage of Bute-road. Could it be adopted ? Mr. Waring: No. Mr. WINSTONE: Why not P The MAYOR said the Board could not discuss Mr. Winstone's scheme now without taking up Mr. Waring'a also. A copy of Mr. W;ns:one's proposal should be sent to every member befjio the next meeting. Mr. EVANS proposed that steps should be taker, to compel every house to drum into the sewers. lie thright there were scores wlr.cli did not. Mr. Waring said th ;re were very few and he had power, if ho suspected that all; house was not connected, to err amine, and compel the owner to drain it into the sewer. Mr. INGLEEEW asked how the temporary measures for relieving the Bute-road cellars answered. Mr. Waring said he was having the old 15ut- ro;wl sewer cleaned and it was having a good effect. Mr, r, Bum said there was less water in his cellar than previously. A letter from Mr. G. G. Jones, of 8, Ivor- srreei, complaining of a flooded cellar was deferred to the next meeting, when the drainage would be discussed. ME. WAKING'S DT7TIES. Mr. ELLIOTT brought forward his motion to rescind the resolution by which Mr. Waring was allowed to have private pracxice as a surveyor. The town had increased, and the scavenging plant needed to be doubled, and it required all instead of balf the services of ihe surveyor. Previous to 185.'), ibe surveyor was allowed private practice, but that sys- tem worked badly, ar;d on motion of Alderman Alexander it was resolved in that year that the entire time of the surveyor must be given to the town. The town had gone on increas- ing, end the necessity was even more obvious now than then. He obie -ted to Mr. ">Varing being also surveyor for Jloath and Canton—the Bute Trustees would not think of allowing theii dock-master to be also dock-master of Penarth, nor would cny merchant allow his head clerk to be also in the service of an- other in the same line of business. He desired to retain Mr. Wanng's services, but above all, be wanted the streets kept in proper order, so as to be a credit to the town instead of a disgrace and a bje-word in neighbouring towns as they were now. Mr. F. BIHD seconded the motion, siting that be was the only member present at the meeting when ii was proposed to allow Mr. Waring private practice, who then opposed it. Mr. WHIFF-CN moved an amendment, proposing to create an assistant surveyor at a salary not exceeding JE160 a.year, and co reduce Mr. Waring's salary, allowing him private praotije, If they gave Mr. Waring £500 a-year, which they must to retain his entire service, he could not do all that was required without assistance. The report and plans which werj i&id on the table to day would etnploj iim fully for a His salary now was ;:£:60, IUld adding £150 for an assistant, it would be £90 less cost Mian to give a-y^ar for hi'; ■vholc time, as he understood was the suggestion of Mr. Eriott. Then it was stated that half the atoms put on Butt-road were scraped off by the scavengers. Mr. Waring could not look aiter taeoc properly m addition to his other duties, but an assistant employed for the pnrpose might, and thus, if the fee's were as stated by Mr. Elliott, he would save more !nnn the whole salary whioh he (Mr. Whifieo) proposed to give him. Mr, EVANS seconded the amendment. Mr. Waring had work in the oiSee, which prevented him looking afler the streets properly. They knew from many years experience the value of Mr. Waring's services, and if they parted with him hi-; place could not be easily supplied. Mr. WINSTON. supported the original motion. Mr. Waring had :!omplained of being underpaid, for he had given up £ •50 of his salary, nor he complained of being overworked, for he had undertaken private practioe in addition. When the town was sra&ner and the work less, the Board demanded the whole time of a Surveyor. They had parted with Mr. E P. Richards because he was connected with Lord Bute, and with Mr. Matthews because he undertook the work of the Taff Yale railway, and they ought not to allow Mr. Waring to serve the Canton end Iloath Boards, with which the Board might come into collision. AM-t-rcan REECK thought if tac Boa-d adopted Mr. Whitfen s prope-sal of an assistant surveyor to help Mr. Waring that h'J would have to propose a deputy assistant to help them both. Mr. TLtn we should be governed by the Rule of Threr. Mr. I: JWKN approved the principle of the amendment, but thought hf-, iigure too high. If the assistant received £ 100 or jEliK, and Mr. Wanng };1d his salary reduced, the ariang'r.cent would be both -coonoLo'cal and result in the work being bettor prrfomod. They could not expect to re- tain Mr. Waring's whole services for less than four or five hundred a year. Mr. JCNKS said, he had b-ail", the sewers in 1*57, and had ever sinc-e paid much attention to thr public works of the town. He knew that neither Mr. Waring nor any other man couM perform the whole work. The Bute-terrace im- provement was carried on before Mr. Waring's time, and much money was lost by errors in the notices but in all the thousands of pounds worth of work done under Mr. Waring, not a penny had been lost, such was his care and attention. He had designed thousands of pounds worth of sewers in continuatiou of Mr. IIawkshaw's plan, and car- ried out all the private improvements excepting the small part done before ho took office; ana if he had been paid for this alone by the usual commission, it would have amounted te the whole salary he had received, so that in that sense I the Board had had his other services for nothing. He was a more valuable officer than ever, at^r the ten years experi- ence he had had, front the thorough knowledge he had ao- quired of the public works ot Cardiff. There were further improvements now contemplated, and an extension of the drainage system. If they took a new and second-rate man for surveyor they cot.Id not entrust such work to him they would have to call in Mr. Hawkshaw or some other engineer and pay him a commission, which might be saved by retain- ing Mr. Waring. As for his being surveyor for Roath and Canton it was better for Cardiff that he should be, since the drains of those districts emptied into ours and ought to be under the control of the same surveyor. The Board could not afford to pay a s&lary that would command Mr. War- ing's whole time, and if they did he would still be unable to look after the mere details of street work. There were 25 miles of streets, and what one man, after doing the surveyor's other work, could look after all the scavenging. The report presented to-day had not only taken Mr. Waring a great deal of time but there were statistics in it which showed that he had been patiently accumulating data and observa- tions ever since he had been in office. There should be another man appoiuted to look after the street work, as Mr. Wtumg had plenty to do in "r.g'noerlng work in regard to the new Fcweragc works aird m connection with the private improvements. Mr. p. BiKD Wo do nof expect him to do nothing for his money. Mr. JONLS said it would take half a dozen of some men to attend to the private improvement work properly. The Board might easily lose £ 1,000 by mistakes in that class of work alone. Mr. Wiiring had to attend meetings and com- mittees for hours, almost daily then he had office work drawing plans and making out estimates and what time had he for looking after street scavengers. Then last year he w is away in Loudon for a monlb. on the pe.rliamentry business, and lately he was sent to the North for several days in regard to the smoke nuisance prevention and if the Board employed a Surveyor who had no private practice and no assistant of his own to do his work at such times, they would have to employ an as^icta-nt at their own expense during hi-l absence. Mr. INOLEDEW, Mr. FlU" iad Alderman REECE inti. mated that, having had a contrary imp-eetion previously, they had been convinced by Mr. Jonee' remarks that the amendment should prev ail. Alderman ALEXANDER stated that consideration of the matter had led hin to entertain a different view now to that which he held at th" time referred to by Mr. Elliot when he had moved that tho surveyor of that period be not allowed to eng."4>; in private prtiotioe. He was in favour of retaining Mr. Waring as surveyor, but not of incurring an ad<^ exp nse beyond what was now paid. But he did not of Mr. Waring aocepting official appointments out borough. J Mr. ELLIOTT, in reply, argued that Mr. Waring's must be small, or he would not have taken the appoint at Canton and Roath. It was unfur to other surveJi allow him private practice. He hoped that the would be arranged so that Mr. Waring would in the Board's service; but ho considered that the firsM was to secure the surveyor's whole time; and theB: could not look after the streets as well as the rest j work, the Board could consider about providing an ad81 The following division was then taken For the motion Messrs.
