6rneraI :Btiu. GoiNG ON SWIHM:NGLY.—We hear a number of ladies are about to set a good example to their sex, by forming a swimmiog club." And quite natural too, the Ducks —Fan. CATTLE I'LAGUE.—Not a single attack of cattle plague was reported trom any part of Great Britaiu during the week ending the 27tli of April. It is to be hoped that this satisfactory hte of things will continue. ( MuRDER BY A MOTHER.—A woman named Belcher, living in Lambeth, murdered her infant, four months old, on Tuesday, by cutting its throat, and afterwards attempted to kill herself by the same means. It is pro- bable that the injuries she inflicted on herself will prove fatal. THE HYDF, PARK MEETING.—The Owl says that a Royal proclnnaation is about to be issued, requesting all loviog subjects and peaceable citizens to abstain from joining the gathering which is announced to take place in H3de-park on Monday next. EXPLOSION AT A PERCUSSION-CAP MANUFACTORY.—A frightful explosion tock place at Birmingham on Wed- nesday, at Messrs. Kynock's percussion-cap manu- factory at Aston, in a shed where twelve girls were at wotk. Six of them were dreadfully burnt, and two are j not expected to recover. This is the fifth or sixth ex- plosior. at the same place within a few years. EXTRAORDINARY SUFFOCATION OF A CHILD.—On Tues- day an inqut-t was held at Middlesbro' in the body of Michael O'Brien, a month old, who died on Sunday morning. It was stated that about six o'clock in the morning the child was taken out of bed by the sister, a girl 1;3 years old, and while it was crying'she kisted it and put her tongue I%to its mouth till it lost its brocith and expired. The mother said soe had on several occasions cautioned her daughter against putting her tongue into the child's month. The jury returned a verdict of Death from Suffocation." THE FENIAN Trials.—Tiie prisoners Burke and Doran have been found guilty, at the special commission now being held in Dublin, of high treason. After a lengthy chaige by the Lord Chief Justice, the jury retired at hall-past two (Wednesday). They returned at six with a verdict of guilty, recommending Doran to mercy. Burke made a long and violent speech. He branded Inspector Kelly and the witness Britt as perjurers. He had nothing to recall or unsay, and went to the scaffold as an honourable man. He spoke in extremely severe terms of informers; and denied being at Colonel Kelly's lodgings, and that the Fenian oath was found with him. He met the verdict and bis fate with satisfaction hoped that freedom would yet dawn on Ireland and concluded by saying that be felt consoled, remembering that bis aged mother had sent him fortb, like the Spartans of old, to return with or upon his shield. He submitted to his doom, and his last prayer would be for forgiveness for his enemies, and that God would revive the fallen fortunes of Ireland. The Lord Chief Justice then passed sentence of death on the prisoners in the usual solemn form. They are to be executed on the 29th of May, by decapitation, and their bodies quartered. COLLISION BETWEEN A MAIL STEAMER AND A SHIP in THE ATLANTIC.—News has been received at Liverpool of a terrible collision in the Atlantic between the Cunard mail steamer Scotia and the ship Berkshire, of Boston. The disaster occurred on the night of the 11th ult. One account of the disaster says:—"The steamer's officer saw the ship for fifteen minutes before the catastrophe occurred, although the night was thick, and the ship appeared to have no lights. The course of the Berk- sbire was directly across the bows of the Scotia, under full canvas, and the wheels of the steamer were not only reversed, but her headway was entirely checked, and she was steadily backing from the path of the Berkshire when the collision took place. Had the latter vessel kept headway and borne on her course, she would have escaped unharmed. In spite of the efforts on the part of the steamer to keep clear of her, the sailing ship struck squarely &n the bows of the steamer, and was crashed like a shell. The mast and rigging of the two vessels became entangled, the Scotia's paddles were torn away, and for ten or fifteen minutes the scene was truly terrific. At length the vessels were parted, boats were lowered, and the crew taken from the sinking wreck. The sailers lost nearly everything, as the con- sternation at the moment prevented every thought but that of saving their lives." CONTRACTS FOR EMPLOYMENT.—Lord Elcho's Bill pro- poses that, with the exception presently stated, proceed. ings between employer and employed for neglect or re- fusal to fulfil the contract, or on any dispute as to the rights or liabilities of either party under the contract, shall be of a civil character, and instead of an award of imprisonment in the house of correction, the justices who hear the case are to determine the amount of com- pensation to he paid by the defaulter; on non-payment a warrant of distraint may be issued against his goods, or in case of their insufficiency he may be committed to the common gaol or hease of correction for a term not exceeding three months, and at the expiration of the term of imprisonment the compensation is to be deemed discharged. Wages are not to be assessed to the amount of compensation under any warrant of distraint. But it it shall appear to the magistrates on the hearing 11 that the injury to the person or the property of the com- plainaut has been wilfully and maliciously inflieted, so as to amount to a criminal act, and not to be remedied by pecuniary compensation," the case is to be sent to a court of criminal judicature (in England the quarter sessions), the punishment to be such as by law is awarded for crimes and misdemeanours of a like nuture. Both parties to the contract are to be competent witnesses, except in oases thus remitted to a court of criminal ju. dicature. THE MAGISTRATE AND THE GAMEKEEPER.—At the Melksham petty sessions, on Tuesday, before Messrs' H. G. Awdry, Wadbam Locke, W. Speke, and C. J. T. Conolly, a labourer named George Hunt was, at the in. stance of the Revenue authorities, summoned for kilfing a hare without a license, on land belonging to Mr. R. L. Lopes, of Sandridge-park, Melksham. The case was proved by the keeper, who found a hare in a trap, and watched by it for four hours, till he saw the defendant come along and take the hare and the trap, and was walking ofif with them. The keeper then stepped from his hiding-place, and captured the man. A fine of £5 was inflicted.. Mr. Wadham Locke, addressing the keeper, then said Now, keeper, I want to say a word to you. 1 consider you to be a man totally destitute of "common charity and humanity, to watch for four hours by the side of that trap containing a hare with its legs broken, and therefore suffering tortures, and not to have the common feeling to knock it on the head and put it out of its misery. This is not the first time Mr. Lopes's gamekeepers have come here under similar circum- otance< and told the same tale of cruelty. Now, I pro- mise you, that if you ever couifc here again and give a statement of cruelty similar to the one you have to-day —and remember you have convicted yourself out (jf your own mouth—I shall prosecute you myself for cruelty to animals, and will do my utmost to send you to gaol. Now mind what I say to you. (General ap. plause in court,) Mr. Awdry (to gamekeeper, who ap. peared dumbfoundered): You didn't put that trap down yourself, did you ? Keeper: Ob, no, sir. Mr. Awdry I quite concur in what Mr. Locke has said; your con- duct has been most inhuman. MONSTER PETITION.—In Parliament on Wednesday Mr. Graves presented a petition, signed by 82,202 in.

SWANSEA. PHII.ADEI.PHIA BAPTIST CHAPEL.—The fonndation- >:one ot a new Baptist Chapel, at the Hafod, to bear the v vf> name, was laid by H. H. Vivian, Esq., M.P., on Thursday. Ti.e chapel will be about fifty-nine feet long i-T forty-one teet wide, and will accommodate about 600 •ysrsonis. Mr. Vivian, before leying the stone, briefly dre"ed the peon'e. He said that he had never before iVJd the foundation-stone of a chapel, having always previously, when requested, declined to do so. On the >rfsent occasion, however, he had no hesitation in ac- ffiing to the request, because he felt that it was to be > ?hapel fit the use chiefly of the men who were em- at their (the Messrs. Vivian's) works, and cou- riered that it was his duty to do everything be could tended to the moral and spiritual benefit of those ■siiom be employed. His brothers and himself had, &>erefore, much pleasure in making a grant of the nte on which the chapel was to stand, and also in sub- ??rihing towards its erection, and he had now much jatisfaction in attending and laying thefoundation-stone. i;)dre-ses were also delivered by the Revs. Dr. Rees, Da\ies, G.

PONTYPRIDD. SPECIAL SESSIONS.—WEDNESDAY. Before W. PERKINS, Esq., Col. HEWETT, aud the Rev. D. W.WILLIAMS.) XDE COEDCAE COLLIERY CASE A CASE GRANTED FOR THE QUEEN'S BENCH. The interest felt in this case has been growing in length from week to week, and the more determined ibe masters seem to be to compel the men to work their notice, tha more determined are the men to refuse. Jiaere' seems to be no possibility of compromising the Matter for whatever arrangement has been entered into tbo men with tueir employers through the respec- :¥e solicitors, the terms of compromise have never been serried out. Great results were expected from the powerful advocacy of a gentleman from Manchester, •vfhose peculiar forte seems to an. apparently hearty -npa4hy for the cause of the men who employ him. The Court, as might have been expected, was crowded 1>7 an eager multitude, all the avenues being blocked up vy an orderly, though excited maKS. A large number jw;, the most respectable residents of the town were pre- sent, to hear the distinguished colliers' advocate. Seventeen meu were brought up, Evan Richards being yit in the dock as the first case. Mr. Simons, Merthyr, twosecuied, and Mr. Roberts, Manchester, defended. The prosecutor, W. Williams, was put in the box. His *vi<?fci/ce ha* already been given. He was cross-exa. rcined, and said he knew only of two reasons why the 't{oi,d out against Jones (2); first, the affair at Tonn tfrcr second, that he was a non-union man. The Tonn rase was fulse there was no complaint of the incompe- tency of Jones beforo the summonses were taken out. ttelld of the accident at Plymouth since 1st April. Junes worked as a fitter from February 25th to March Mst. No one asked him to allow Jones to be tested e offtred this himself. Jones had something the mat- -4i- with his eyt, received it before the 1st April it is iw better. Eyesight in an engineman is very impor- tant. The indicator is three yards from him. Negli- gence or incapacity would cause the cage to go over. Swer knew of such a case in his own experience. Mr. had made a partial inspection of the pit lately; Jr-i not compl.in of inadequate ventilatiou or vitiated th the only complaint was of a fall in the old workings.

CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH. I A monthly meeting of this Board was held on Friday, the "i6ih instant, present Alderman Alexander, in the chair"; Al- dermen Pride, Witkins, and Rees, and Councillors Bowen, Winstone, P. Bird, Flint, Spencer, Clements, Jones, Wbiffen. Lvnnii, Elliott, Jenkins, Vachell, Dr. Taj lor, and Iugledew. The reports of the Collectors shewed: St. John's. coilected diiring the month, Xiii Ilk f;d.; remaining due, £'3tJ los. 3d. St. Mary's, collected, £ lj70 8s. 7d.; remaining due, it 1,597 5s. 4d. Mr. WINSTONE gave notice that at the next meeting he I wotjki move that the Board employ a coLaptr^rit surveyor to investigate the plans which Mr. Waring was, at the last meeting, desired to make for the drainage of Cathays, and for the construction of a storage reservoir and also to exami'iB the state of the town sewers. He desired a survevor to be employed in whom the Board could have implicit con. fidence a )d he believed that such a man could be employed fDr the purpose for a->out ^020, and it would be very satis- factory, before making another outlay of Xio,oo f), that the ratepayers should have the information he proposed, as he was satisfied that statements which were erroneous and faise were made at the last meeting to carry the report of Mr. Waring, and to induce the Board to order the works which they lIJeil authorised. Jo answer to Mr. BOWEN, the Clerk stated that the appeal of the Rhymney Riilway Company against the rates for the past two or three years would come on for hearing in London during the present term. The Bute Trustees had now taken the wharf which was the siabjectoftheldispute into their own handj, v that the question at issue would not arise for the I future. The Clerk presented an estimate for a new rate at Is. in the which was confirmed, and a rate ordered. APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT SURVEYOR. The Cleik reported that the Public Works Committee, to whom the applications for the office of assistant surveyor had been referred, had selected three out of the large number (twenty-four) they had received, viz.: Joseph Price, aged forty, of Clitton road, Roath, formerly employed by Mr. Dohson, C.E.,as clerk of the works atPenarth Docks; Alfred Elliott, Roath,,aged thirty-three; and James Unsworth, who lived near Swansea, but whom a telegram had failed to reach as he lived nine miles from the town, and consequently tie was not in attendance. Mr. Joseph Price's testimonials-were from Mr. Dobson, Messrs. James and Price, Mr. Heath, &c. Mr. Elliott's were from Mr. R. R. Watkins, whose service he h^d been in as foreman and manager, Messrs. James and Price, Mr. G. E. Chittenden, Mr F. S. Lock, &c. Mr. Uns- worth'3 testimonials were from Aberdeen Water Works, from Mr. Cousins, borough surveyor of Swansea, and Mr. Lawson, C.E., London. Mr. WISSTONE moved, and Mr. BOWEN seconded, theap- pointment of Elliott. Alderman WATKINS, from his personal knowledge of Elliotr, expressed his conviction that in him the Board had secured the services of a man eminently fit for the place. Mr. P. BIRD observed that thev did not often see the Alderman in his seat at the Board, and it seemed as if he had come here to-day for the purpose of supporting Mr. Elliott for this situation. He (Mr. Bird) entirely disapproved of any such office being created. He had been canvassed for this office, and had been given to understand that thirteen of the members had promised to vote for Mr. Elliott. He thought it wrong for members to promise their votes to a candidate directly they were asked. If this was to be the course taken there would be no need to advertise in future when there wes an office to be filled, for the moment the I vacancy arose members promised their votes. In this case no one would have had a chance of the office by replying to the ad vertisemeht-not even if it were an angel from heaven. Mr. WINSTONE suggested that an angel would not have understood the work to be performed. Alderman PRIDE, Mr. WINSTONE, JUr. JENKINS, Mr. BOWEN. Mr. ELLIOTT, Mr. FLINT, Mr. EVANS, and Mr. J. BIRD severally denied having pledged themselves to Mr. Elliott, and some of them stated that they had not seen him befoc-, to day. Mr. WINSTONE suggested that after these disclaimers the other members could bring an action against Mr. P. Bird for the imputation he had made upon them. Mr. SPENCER also entered his protest against Mr. P. Bird's remarks, saying it was very wrong that a member should make such a charge against the other members— allowing it to go forth to the public that their votes were be- spoken in advance, when such was not the fact. Mr. JONES said, of the twenty-four candidates, some had no testimonials, others were engineers, and above the busi- I we.i) and others were unacquainted with the locality and eliminating all those thus disqualified, it left the contest be- tween the two who had appeared before the Board to-day, and whose testimonials were equally good, while Mr. Elliott was best fined of the two from his greater acquaintance with the town. Alderman REECE said he had not been canvassed, but if he was applied to at any time by a candidate whom he con- sidered fit he would have no hesitation in pledging his vote and be considered it right to do so, to relieve the man's anxiety. They advertised for a competent man, and when one whom they considered such applied to them, why should not a member at once promise to vote for him and put him out of suspense ? Mr, Elliott was then appointed to the office, the duties to commeace on the 1st proximo. STREET NOMENCLATURE. A memorial was read from Messrs. Bishop & Co. and the other tradesmen and property owners in Smith-street and Queen-street, asking the Board to revoke their order made at a former meeting, that the street all the way down to Duke- street should be called Crockherbtown. fhey stated that they had spent large sums of money in making known theii places of business by the present street names, and that it would mislead their customers to substitute another name. Mr. EVANS said he quite agreed with the memorialists. Crockherbtown was not such a pleasant street name that the Board should wish to extend it He would rather call it Crockherton-street, He had sometimes letters addressed to him at" Crockherbtown, near Cardiff." Town was an appropriate designation for a district, such as Temperance- town or Bate-town," but not for a street. Alderman REECE suggested calling it Queen-street, all the way up. Mr. J. Bl ID said the alteration of which the memorial complained had been proposed by him, without much consi- deration, for the purpose of having one name for the whole length of a street apparently continuous. He did not wish the alteration to be made, if it would be prejudicial or dis- agreeable to the memorialists, and was in favour now of re- voking the former resolution. Mr. WINSTONE objected to the suggestion to change the termination of the name Crockherbtown. He lived in the street, and was wedded to the name, and, feeling conservative on the point, he should be sorry to have the name altered. Mr. FLINT suggested calling it Queen-street as far up as the weighing machine, and Crockherbtawn beyond that point. Notice to rescind the resolution was given for the next meeting, in accordance with the prayer of the memorial. Alderman PRIDE called attention to the debate at the last meeting of the Canton Board, in respect to the filling up of the ditch adjoining the road opposite the Union Workhouse, by Mr. Tieseder. The road there was exceedingly narrow I and it ought to be widened by taking part of the ditch into it; or else by and bye the Board would have to buy back that land from Lord Bute at a large value. The Clerk said, the road there belonged to the County Roads Board. He had spoken to Mr. Dalton about it, who told hi.n that that Board had considered the matter, and de. cided that they had no power to take in the ditch as part of the r.)ad, or to prevent its absorption by the adjacent land- owner. Alderman REECE said there was a charter of the borough in which all the waste land of the borough was secured as town property. The Corporation had interfered in a similar matter at Splottlands, and, under the charter to which he referred, had prevented the landowner from taking in an open space adjoining the road. Mr. J. BIRD corroborated this statement as to the charter, of which he had copies. A similar thing to that referred to by Alderman Reece had taken place in regard to the jail j ditch. Mr. Waring stated that he had been in communication some time ago with Lord Bute's agents, but tbe illness of Mr. E. P. Richards had prevented the negotiation being completed on this subject. He suggested that the Board should point out to the Bute Irustees the necessity of widen. ing the io.»d by twenty feet of the ditch, from the Wyndham Hotel to Mr. A. Miller's cottage, and he did not think they would make any difficulty about it. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Waring could prepare a plan and submit it to Mr. Boyle on his next visit to Cardiff. This suggestion was approved of. Mr. WHIFFEN producula letter from Mr. Blake, ofthesee- Lock Hotel, complaining of the unheal thy state of Har rowby-streef. Mr. Waring said that street was a series of holes and pools, the surface not having been formed; and the drainage at the back was stopped by the Bute Trustees' new road to Mr. Scott Russell's yard. The Trustees had made a culvert un- der that road, but for it to be made properly available for the drainage of Harrowby-street would require an expendi- ture by the Board of about jt'150. On the motion of Mr. BOWEN, seconded by Mr. EVANS, Mr. Waring was instructed to serve noticej on the owners of the property for the paving, Sc., of the street. Mr. WINSTONE remarked that this ought to be deferred until the general subject of the drainage was considered, of which he had given notice. Mr. EVANS And meanwhile the people would be poi- soned Mr. WINSTONE "aid Cardiff people were not so easily poi. soned. They used to live quite as long before the drains were made here at all- There was a great deal of physic about these drains. He advised Mr. Evans (calling him" Mr. Esculapius") to suspend his judgment on the matter. The residents on the east side of the Hayes applied for a ,.s footoavement to be made there.-Dr. TAYLOR said this work had been ordered, on his motion, at a former meeting. THE BUILDERS AND THE BOARD'S BYE-LAW. A memorial was read from several builders and others ask- ing for the repeal ot the bye. law which requires partition walls of adjoining houses to be carried clear up through the roof. They objected to the requirement on the ground that it involved unnecessary expense and liability to leakage, was unsightly, and of no real utility in preventing fires. They were willing to carry the walls close up to the inside of the roof. Mr. JONES said the Board had ordered the prosecation of Mr. Luke Evans and others for non-compliance with this bye-law, and the cases were now pending iu the police court. He fully agreed with the views of the memorialists, and said he never carried partition walls up through a roof but under compulsion. The houses would be just as safe against fire if the wall went up to the inside of the roof. Mr. W uing said that this was true, but the object of the bye-law was to secure that the wall should come up to the J inside of the roof, and not stop short at the square oft building. When the wall stopped short of going up t" root, a lire occurring in o.>e h-juse, could not be prt^ from communicating t; t!>e next, and so on. He atlm'^ the force of tne oojections to carrying the wall throng*1 roof, and thought the Board might, while mainta'ni^ bye law, take no steps to prosecute under it. in cases proof was given that the wall came fairly up to the r°a side. Mr. WINSTONE urged that th? real danger from fire. from the thinness of which', in recesses, were sollielil only four inches between adjoining houses, though might b- nine i!icht,s on top; and from timbers p-utrod through '.he partition walls. The present bye-law, he tl)00 gave only an appearance, not a reality, of precaution ag fire spreading to adjoining houses.. It was resolved that the present prosecutions be l drawn, Mr Waring stating that in those cases the parit walls were up to the inside of the roof; and that in fut no prosecution should take place umder the the purty showed to the Surveyor's satisfaction that tne were built close up to the roof. The Surveyor's report stated that he had reason to C1 plain ot the execution of the sClvenging work by the contractor, and he bad fined him in two penalties of each, agreeably to a provision in the contract empoer, him to do so on finding the work faulty. The gianite Caroline-street repaying was on its way here. The lalle of Halswell-terrace, Roath road, required pitching. A V should be hired at the docks for granite broken stOne, If, wh:ch the n acadamited roads were to be repaired, and Ifb arrived by water from Guernsey.

The Surveyor was il)stro to negotiate with the Bute Trustees for the hire of a what yard for the road material, as suggested by him. A suggestion having emanated from the Mayor, in c" mittee, that negotiation should be opened with Messrs. k0' and Sherley for the alteration of a clause in the Ca'ditfjj Penarth road bill, so as to prevent a toll-gate being er^ in the borough, the Board agreed accordingly, with the viso that the committee who conferred with the promote the bill should report their view to the Board before tB any steps involving expen e, or miking any agreement a" half of the Board. b j = TESTIMONIAL TO THE HEALTH OFFICER. I) Mr. J. BIRD, pursuant t. notice, called attention great services rendered by the health officer, Dr. H. J. Poo during the recent cholera epidemic, and ascribed the co, ritive immunity of this town trom the disease to the car supervision and arduous labours of that gentleman- u rremioned that while Bridgend had 65 cases of Neath 442, and Swansea 010, Cardiff had only 47 fatalcjj VV ith three exceptions, Dr. Paine visited every case of though the patients were also attended by different medical men. He also visited all the ships in the halb and roads where there was any suspicion of cholera on bo As it was out of the power of the Board of GuardiO50 remunerate him, he being a memeber of that Boant, i t.ie more incumbent on this Board to do so. He (Mr. hoped that the sum of money which he proposed to be u to Dr. Paine would be only the nucieus of a general Coo bution on the part of the puhlic, so that a present might made in a shape which Dr. Paine and his family migh' <f) rish as a memento of the gratitude of the community* 4 Guardians had voted to Dr. Lisle £ 43, and to the medical officers smaller sums, for the services they h dered during the epidemic. The sum which he propo*^ awatd to Dr. Paine by this motion was fifty guineas. jd Aldermin WATKINS seconded the motion, reinaf^ that the amount was trifling in comparison with the s«r!j for which it was bestowed, and which had been so faith rendered it was meant only as a token of the Board's ciation of those services U Alderman REECE supported tbe motion, observingl\f Dr. Paine was highly worthy of the compliment be paid to him. A Mr. P. BIRD remarked that Dr. Paine had been •'Y officer for a number of years and except in cholera the office had been almost a sinecure. Last year the i was for a time very ouerous, and he did it very well; ten years before he had been receiving a salary of £ year, and it was oniy last year that his services had j! much called into requisition. He did not see the nec I" of voting an extra X50 to a rich man like Dr. Paine- bo Matthews, when he had a similar extra sum voted to refused to receive it. Mr. J.

BIRD went on to observe that many of the payers of Cardiff were struggling hard to pay their w.a' ¡ the taxes ought not to be swelled by unnecessary fift'eu«t'1' sixties of pounds. It was not so much this one voW t'> complained of, but the practice of voting away molle, jpj necessarily, meeting after meeting—such votes as the £ '250 the other day to the ship hospital.

Mr. J. BIRD: He always does it. the rote Mr. INGLEDEW supported the motion, believing payers would not grumble at it. t pf Mr. BOWKN in advocating the motion, observed Paine s salary had only been £ 40 for a few years- it was only Jt20 a year. ,^Ti.Y1°R' ™ supporting the motion, sta ted th health officer s salary was lower in Cardiff than in **1V large town in Wales.
