CARDIFF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of Directors was held at the Windsor Hotel, on Wednesday, Mr. E. C. Downing, V.P., in the chair. Amongst the Parliamentary papers laid on the table, which were introduced for discussion, was the MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. Mr. Downing drew attention to certain deficiencies in the clauses on evidence. Ships' articles were not at present evidence against seamen who had deserted, as was recently proved in the case of the Morning Light, although the seaman's signature is attested by the superintendent of the shipping office. It was felt of importance that the whole Bill should be carefully gone into, and the following gentlemen were nominated a committee to consider its provisions, previous to calling a special meeting of the Chamber:—Messrs. Anning, Edwards, Alexander, Bovey, J. Batchelor, Davis, Down- ing, Jenkins, Nash, Hill, Plain, Rowlands, Tellefsen, and Thomas. The secretary was instructed to circulate the copies of the Bill, together with the Times report of Mr. Shaw Lefevre's speech, amongst the members of the committee, before the day of meeting, Wednesday, 22nd instant. ADMIRALTY DISTRICT REGISTRIES BILL. Some difference of opinion was expressed as to the value of this measure, which is recommended by the Liverpool Chamber. Its object is to bring Admiralty jurisdiction nearer to the great shipping ports out of London, by the establishment of district registries, and sending the Admiralty Judge on circuit. Some directors were of opinion the Admiralty Jurisdiction Act gave facilities which would answer the requirements of Cardiff at all events, but it was eventually deter- mined to remit the consideration of the Bill to the committee appointed for the Merchant Shipping Bill. REMOVAL OF THE SITE OF THE CUSTOM-HOUSE. The reply of the Board of Customs, refusing to consi- der the prayer of the Chamber, was commented upon with much disappointment and dissatisfaction. The subject will continue in the consideration of the directors. NEW PROCESS OF WEIGHING. Mr. Staniford reported that the steamers Fairfax and Dublin had now each taken out cargoes weighed under the old and new processes, and the comparison was as follows TONS. HOUBS. Fairfax (s.)-Xew process. 7SI) 24t 11 Old 760 11 -131 Dublin (s)—New process 674 17A Old 650 12 5* This result not being so satisfactory as was antici- pated, the opinion was that in its present state the new process could not be recommended, but that if the Bute Trustees should be able to give equal despatch by subsequent improvements upon it, it would be of that paramount advantage which the Chamber had set forth in its memorial. ADVANCE NOTES. The committee upon this question had met, and were in negotiation with the discounters for an exten- tion of the date to ten days. They have every hope of success but if ~'t- the expediency of constructing a company to supersede the discounters will be considered.

GLAMORGANSHIRE ARCHERY CLUB. On Tuesday, the members of this club held a meet- ing in the beautiful grounds of Cardiff Castle. The day was warm without being sunny, and the rain, which at one time threatened, did not fall to mar the pleasures of the day. This club has been many years in exist- ence, out met in the Cardiff Castle grounds for the first time. Three meetings are held in the season. The previous meetings this year have been held at Neath and at Merthyrinawr. The latter is the seat of Capt. Nicholl, who has put up a large tent for the use of the club, and the tent inaugurated at the meeting reently held, was set up on Wednesday in the grounds of the Castle, and every preparation was made that could enhaace the pleasure of the meeting. Mr. George Bird, of Bridgend, is tha secretary to the club, and he carried out the arrangements in a manner which secured the thorough enjoyment of the day. Amongst those who were present we observed Miss Curzon, Pen- craig; Mrs. Blosse, Miss Mary Bloss and party, Bridgend; Mrs. Jenkins and Miss Blandy, Llanharran Captain Turton, R.N., Mumbles; Major Picton Tur- I burville, Mrs. Turberville, and Sir F. Abbott, Ewenny Abbey; Mrs. Vivian, Mr. Glyn Vivian, and Misses Vivian, Singleton; the Rev. C. R. Knight, Tythegston Court; Mr. Arthur Jones, Penyrallt, Carmarthen Mrs. Thompson and party, Tregroes; Captain and Mrs. Palmer, New House Lieut.-Colonel Lindsay, the Hon. Mrs. Lindsay, and party; Mr. and Mrs. Llewelyn, Court Cohnan Colonel Lennox; Miss Willmot; Mr. and Mrs. Booker, Velindra; the Misses Dillwyn, Swan- sea. The shooting commenced at one o'clock, and was continued with great spirit throughout the afternoon. The following is the result of the shooting :— LADIES' PP.IZES,—Ladies' Challenge Belt and First Prize, Miss Blandy; second prize, Miss Vivian; best gold, Miss Lindsay. GENTLEMEN'S PRIZES.—The Challenge Medal, Mr. Arthur Jones; first prize, Mr. W. Llewelyn second prize, the Rev. C. R. Knight; best gold, Mr. T. W. Booker. STRANGER'S PRIZE.—This was awarded to Mrs. Web- ber Lindsay. The game of croquet also was enjoyed by several of the party. In the marquee an elegant luncheon was spread under the superintendence of the hostess of the Cardiff Arms Hotel. In the evening there was a grand ball at the Cardiff Arms Hotel, which was attended by nearly 100 ladies and gentlemen. We understand it is intended in future to hold one of the meetings of this club annually at Cardiff. 0

SWIMMERS' CRAMP. On a fine summer's day some men are bathintr in the sea. One of them. an excellent swimmer, suddenly cries out, I'm drowning!" sinks, and is no more seen until his dead body floats ashore some hours afterwards This was the case with Mr. G. Waugh, whose lament- able death was noticed in the journals a few days since, and the dreadful incident was but the repetition of what occurs several times each bathing season How is this terribly sudden drowning to be explained? The victim is generally said to have been attacked by cramp, and manuals advert to the subject, and direct the swimmer who is so seized to thrust his leg out violently, and forcibly bend his foot upwards. The explanation seems to be generally accepted, but it does n t really explain this awfully mysterious sinking. We do not need to ask a good swimmer whether cramp in the leg, however severe, would cause him to sink suddenly, and without a struggle, in the sea. It is impossible. The human body is specifically lighter than water, and so much lighter than sea-water that no effort is required to preserve it frum sinking in that fluid. A swimmer seized with leg-cramp would instinctively throw his head as far back as it would go, conscious that he might remain afloat in this position without the need of moving a muscle. The un'ortuna e swimmer who drowns under these circumstances always goes down suddenly, and without a struggle. This signifies that the body sud- denly becomes heavier than wa'er. It can only do that by losing the air which is contained within the cavity of the chest, and the probability seems to be that the cramp which happens is a cramp of the respiratory muscles, by which the expansion of the lungs is pre- vented or their air forced out. Death would then occur as it often takes place in tetanus. This is a subject which has strangely escaped observation. Inquiry must, of course, be lim ted, for there is no opportunity of questioning the unfortunate victims but the testimony of observers, or of those who have themselves expe- rienced any kind of cramp in bathing, might be usefully brought to bear upon it. The feeling of insecurity which these cases occasion to swimmers is terrible. Could we BUT ascertain the exact circumstances, it is conceivable that some measures might be devised by which their occurrence could be prevented. It must be remembered that swimming implies a very much more violent muscular exercise than is apt to appear. It seems probable—though it is by no means certain-that the muscles of respiration, which are powerfully em- ployed in swimming, may occasionally be seized with cramp as a result of UEusual exertion, with the effect we have described of causing compression of the chest. If such be the c ise, it is tolerably certain that regular and graduated gymnastic exercise would be the surest safeguard again-1 an affection of muscles arising from their being suddenly called upon to perform unusual exertion of severe character.—Lancet.

GENERAL NEWS. THE PARLIAMENT OF NEW ZEALAND has made up a return showing the number of "rebels" killed in the various skirmishes of which the Northern Island of New Zealand has been the theatre during the year end- ing June, 1869. A total of about 260 is arrived at. As the number of Maories iu revolt has never exceeded 1000, the removal of 260 rebels is a matter of some significance. THE YOUNG DUKE OF NORFOLK has just given £ 1,000 to the funds of the Infirmary at Sheffield. His Grace has very extensive possessions in the town and neigh- bourhood, and his ancestors for seventy or eighty years past have held the office of President of the institution. A deputation waited upon him on Friday for the purpose of asking his acceptance of the office. His Grace promptly acceded to the request, and in the kindest manner reguested that his name might be put down for A donation of £1,000. CLEVER CAPTURE OF A MURDERER.—The alleged per- petrator of the recent murder in Liverpool, was cleverly captured on Sunday morning, in a wild part of the county Mayo, called Cloonconlanbawn. Ruane, the ac- cused, and a man named Welsh were formeraly neigh- bours, in the district above-named, but lived on bad terms with each other in consequence of a family feud. About ten days ago they accidently met in Liverpool. and it is stated that Ruane murdered Welsh at a public- house in that town. He immeliataly fled to Ireland, arrived at his home in the wilds of Cloonconlanbawn. on Friday night last. and was arrested by a Liverpool policeman at three o'clock on Sunday morning. ANOTHER ANTI-RITUALISTIC OUTRAGE.—Another anti- ritualistic outrage is reported. The parish church of Modbury, in Devonshire, where ritualistic practices were sometime ago introduced, was entered on Monday night by some zealous vindicators of Protestantism; and the altar cloth, the candles, flowers, and decora- tions were carried away, and a number of vases and other decorations smashed. No clue has been obtained to the discovery of the perpetrators of the outrage. THE RESIGNATION OF THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.— We regret (says the Guardian) that the circumstances connected with the retirement of the Bishop of Win- chester should have been surrounded with a good deal of mystery, when, if simply stated, they would have redounded to his credit. The world might as well have known at first that the Bishop announced his intended resignation immediately on the passing of the Act, and that he claimed as his retiring pension j63,500, instead of £6,000, as has been commonly asserted. Diocesan arrangements, which the Bishop was unwilling to alter, necessitated a delay of about two months before the formal resignation could take place. It may be added that the Bishop is twelve years junior to the Bishop of Exeter, of whose resignation we have as yet heard nothing. SPLIT AMONGST THE AMERICAN FENIANS.—The Ameri- can Fenians, who were first duped and then fleeced by head centres and other rogues, are beginning to get their eyes opened. An action was recently brought into the Superior Court, in New York, for an injunction restraining John O'Mahony, Thomas Barr, and others, from parting with any of the Fenian funds, of which they were appointed trustees, except by order of the Court. Several hundred thousand dollars were, the complaint states, contributed, chiefly by labourers and servant girls; and the trustees, O'Mahony in par- ticular. have failed to apply the money to the uses in- tended by the contributors, or to account for the same. The injunction order was granted, and an investigation will it is stated, shortly take place. THE CUBAN INSURRECTION—RECOGNITION OF THE BEL- LIGERENCY OF THE INSURGENTS.—A Washington tele- gram of Dec. 7 says:—The New York journals state that at an interview held yesterday between Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, and several foreign Ministers, it transpired that the Administration had determined to recognize the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents before Congress should meet. Such recognition was only temporarily delayed through the exertions of Senor Roberto, the Spanish Minister, who has urged the Administration to consider the serious consequences which were likely to follow, as Spain would exercise the right to search American vessels under the treaty of 1795, stating further that in case of war, which pro- bably would follow, Spain would not be bound by the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris prohibiting priva- teering. GRAVE ACCUSATION AGAINST AN ANGLICAN BISHOP.— We take the following from the Cape Argus of Aug. 4 :— All who value the interests of humanity will be shocked at the terrible news from the Free State. That any man should be charged with a heinous offence against laws human and divine will always be a matter of re- gret, but that a minister of the Gospel, and one known heretofore not more for his zeal for the extension of Christ's kingdom than for the holiness of his life, should be charged with an offence which we may not name, is truly a cause for the deepest sorrow. The scoffer may laugh and the wicked rejoice at the fall, it fall there be, of him who was a teacher of the people but all honest men of every creed will feel dejected. The Bishop 01 the Free State is publicly charged with the commission of an unnatural and disgusting offence. For the sake of religion and morality, we do hope thot Bishop Twells will meet his accusers F 'CE to face, and prove the charge a falsehood. None who know him will believe the tale, except upon the strongest evidence.^ A warrant has been issued by the Free State authorities for his arrest. A letter has, we believe, been received in Cape Town from Mr. Croghan. chaplain to Bishop Twells, who has been closely associated with his daily life for years, and who speaks with the utmost confidence as to his perfect innocence of the charge brought against him. The Bishop was. it seems, away in the Transvaal, on a long arranged visitation tour, when the charge was made. Mr. Croghan formally applied for copies of the depo- sitions, which were, however, refused by the authorities. —In reference to the accusation the London Guardian says :—A private letter from the Cape authorises us to state that the Metropolitan of Cape Town is doing his utmost to secure a. fair trial for Bishop Twells; but that, as well from the character of Bishop Tweils as f, om sundry suspicious circumstances, we imagine that the charge is the result of a very foul conspiracy against the Bishop. The same charge, it will be remembered, was brought against good Bishop Mackenzie, in the days when he was Archdeacon of Maritzburg and we have < good hopes that in this case too the slander and its ] motives may be C-qually manifest. THE ATTITUDE OF THE IRISH ORANGEMEN.—The Irish Orangemen are more warlike than ever. At the open- ing of an Orange hall at Antrim, the other day, Mr. Johnson, of Baliykillbegs, the member for Belfast, proclaimed it as the solemn and bounden duty of every Protestant in Ireland to determine, if necessary, to follow the Irish banner once more to the Boyne," rather than permit Romish ascendancy in the coun- try. Mr. Johnson declares that no attempt must be made to suppress party celebrations. In your name," he exclaimed, and the names of hundreds of thou- sande of Orangemen elsewhere, I lay my had here upon the bible, and declare that they (the celebrations) shall never be put down." GROSS OUTRAGE AT DUNKELD.-The assertion by the Duke of Athole of his right to levy tolls at the bridge across the Tay at Dunkeld, has given rise to a great deal of bad feeling in the romantic valley which lies between the renowned Burnham and Dunsinane. An atrocious act of vindictiveness was perpetrated by some persons in connection with this affair on Monday. The beautiful hermitage at the Duke's grounds at Dunkeld was blown up with gunpowder a barrel con- taining the powder having been introduced into the building by some one who had broken open the door, and then laid down a train to which he set ure. The roof of the hermitage was torn, and a number of valuable mirrors were smashed, and other damage done through the malicious act. SYSTEMATIC POISOXING.-An extraordinary trial for poisoning has just taken place before the Court of Assizes of the Sarthe. The accused were the mistress of the Trois Rois Inn, at Bouloire, named Miard, and her servant, Anne Dupin; the victims being the first husband and the mother of the former, and the son and step-father of the latter. This series of crimes dated as far back as 1865, and one of the most singular facts in this affair is that, notwithstanding the almost undis- guised manner in which the four persons were succes- sively removed, four years should have elapsed before the guilty parties were brought to justice. The woman Miard, now aged 39, had been married, when young, to Stanislas Janvier, a man whom she disliked. The result was that she deceived him, and he, who was aware of her misconduct, frequently ill-treated her. She at length grew to hate him, and Anne Dupin, a woman of most profligate character, having been taken into her service, became her confidante in all her intrigues, and at length persuaded her to get rid of her husband, offering to procure the poison. This was obtained from the wife of a veterinary surgeon in the neighbourhood, and was effectually administered in a bowl of soup. The wife was, before her husband's death, on terms of intimacy with the man whom she subse- quently married, and her own mother having then come uninvited to reside with her, became an obstacle to their intercourse, and a week after her arrival was despatched with a similar dose of arsenic. Louis Da- bonneau, a stepfather of Anne Dupin, was also taken ill, and died suddenly one day when he had been work- ing with her, and on his body being recently exhumed traces of poison were found in his remains; finally, the servant's own son, a lad .f fifteen had become ac- quainted with the practices of his mother, and having one day threatened to denounce her, shortly afterwards expired under similar suspicious circumstances. The woman Dupin, being in possession of her mistress's secret, reigned for nearly three years supreme at the inn, continually working on the fears of the other to extort money, until the widow Janvier married Miard, who at once got rid of the servant whose presence he disliked. Anne Dupin then wrote to him a letter, threatening to accuse his wife of poisoning Janvier, but Miard, not believing the story, gave the letter to the police. The several bodies were, however, exhumed, and traces of arsenic having been found, the two women were arrested, and then accused each other. The trial lasted four days, and the verdict was given on Sunday evening. The woman Dupin was condemned to hard labour for life, and Madame Miard to twenty years of the same punishment. Both of them burst into tears when the sentence was pronounced. SAD ACCIDENT.—HARTLEPOOL, Wednesday. — This morning a fatal disaster is reported by a fisherman, named Pounder, captain of the herring coble Dr. Liv- ingstone. He states that while at the fishing ground last evening, a boy, about 14, son of the captain of a Seaham harbour boat, called Robert Nicholson, was carried overboard by the jib sheet in a shift of wind, and although a spar was thrown him by one of the crew, his father overpowered by his feelings, at once jumped overboard to his rescue, in his sea boots and heavy clothing. At this moment, Pounder and his crew seeing the occurrence, bore down to their assistance, and got so close to the boy that their bows struck the spar to which he was clinging, and threw it from his grasp. He rapidly began to sink, and it was only by a timely grasp with the boathook that one of them caught hold of him as he was about to sink, and he was hauled in quite exhausted. Meantime the poor boy's father rapidly sank before their eyes, a few yards off, before they could render him any assistance. His own crew of two were also powerless to aid him, as it took all their skill to manage their own boat. Pounder landed the boy at Seaham, and he will recover.

AUGUST COAL AND IRON EXPORTS. The comparative stagnation which existed in the coal trade at the date of our last monthly report, happily changed in the course of last month to a brisk demand for the best steam qualities. We have consequently to report a great improvement in the monthly return, which shows that during August upwards of 206,336 tons of coal were exported foreign, against 177,273 tons in the previous month, and 183,892 tons in the corres- ponding month of 1868. The very heavy shipments of rail iron have also continued, and the total for the month amounts to no less than 27,441 tons, against 10,010 tons in the corresponding month. The ship- ments of patent fuel and coke have been of an average character-the totals for the month being 5,018 tons and 280 tons respectively. The number of vessels cleared foreign was 412, of which 217 were British. A slight decline is observable in the coal shipments coastwise, which amounted last month to 73,076 tons, against 77,743 tons in the preceding month, and 77,559 tons in the corresponding month. The foreign ports, which received 1,000 tons or moie of our shipments were Alexandria 2,709 tons, Ascen- sion 1,467 tons, Aden 3,644, Alicante 1.750, Ancona 1,170, Bahia 1,879, Buenos Ayres 7,068, Barcelona 2,931, Bordeaux 4,048, Corfu 3,654, Caen 1,027, Con- stantinople 6,527, Cadiz 1,000, Charente 1,823, Dieppe, 5,235, Gibraltar 3,109, Galatz 3,520, Genoa 2,995, Hong Kong 6,440, Hamburg 1,755, Halifax 1,550, Havre 11,470, Havannah 4,766, Kertch 1,589, Lisbon 4,697, La Rochelle 1,810, Leghorn 1,426, Monte Video 7,007, Malta 13,676, Maranham 1,646, Manilla 2,332, Marseilles 1,274, Naples 2,852, Nantes 2,693, Odessa 4,844, Port Said 5,387, Palermo 2,437, Quebec 5,966, Rio Janeiro 2,695, Rouen 2,030, Sulina 1,434, St. Nazaire 10,635, Smyrna 1,196, Syra 1,025, St. Thomas' 1,268, Spezzia 1,297, Sebastopol 1,635, Shanghai 1,376, Singapore 2,667, St. Jago de Cuba 1,486, Trieste 4,361, Venice 1,521, and Yokohama 1,225 tons. The iron exports included 670 tons rail to Alexandria, 700 tons bar to Aucona, 5,424 tons rail to Cronstadt, 700 tons bar to Constantinople, 1,000 tons rail to Galatz, 892 tons rail to Kjoge, 1,550 tons rail to Mobile, 1,000 tons rail to New Orleans, 10,337 tons rail to New York, 519 tons rail to Oracca, 955 tons rail to Pesco, 562 tons rail to Rosario, 1,133 tons rail to Stettin, 789 tons bar to Salonica, and 905 tons rail to Vordingborg. The 412 vessels clearing foreign consisted of 3 American, 21 Austrian, 217 British, 4 Danish, 2 Dutch, 75 French, 5 Hansetowns, 50 Italian, 4 Meck- lenberg, 13 Norwegian, 2 Oldenburg, 2 Portuguese, 9 Prussian, 5 Spanish. The returns for the several months which have elapsed of this year have been as follows :— FOREIGN EXPORTS.

The large contracts for American and Russian railways—particularly the former-continue to main- tain the high return of iron exports, and should the demand continue, this year will prove one of the busiest which local ironmasters have had for ten or twelve years past-at any rate the export by the close of the year is likely to double or treble that of any of the last five or six years. The following table contrasts the total quantities of coal and iron exported from Cardiff during the first eight months of the undermentioned years. It will be seen that the coal total for this year exceeds that of 1868 by 25,000 tons, and that of 1867 by 215,000 tons, while this year's iron shipments exceed those of 1868 by 95,000 tons, and those of 1867 by 85,000 tons :— 1867. 1868. 1869.

A TERRIBLY DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE is reported from Massachusetts. At Boston the property destroyed is estimated at a million dollars, and one man was killed by a falling steeple. BEVERLEY ELECTION COMMISSION.—On Friday after- noon Daniel Boyes, the oldest Liberal elector, gave an account of all elections since 1841, and made an esti- mate of the amounts spent on both sides. He also made a number of interesting disclosures in reference to the last election. COLLISIONS AT SEA.—The Iron screw steamer, of Dunkirk, came in collision with a brig on Thursday night, and was sunk. The crew were all saved. Yes- terday afternoon the Osprey steamer, from Woolwich to London with passengers, ran foul of a large vessel which was being towed into the docks at Blackwall, and was disabled. The passengers, after being half an hour adrift, were taken off by the Cupid. SCIENCE AND ART.-A striking instance of the immense value a small piece of steel may acquired by the great power of skilled mechanical labour is the balance-spring of a watch. From its extrewe fineness and delicacy 4,000 weigh not more than one ounce, and exceed in value ijl,00i). A most inter- esting little work, describing the rise and progress of watch- making, has been published by J. W. Benson, 25, Old Bond Street, and the City Steam Factory. 68 and 60,Ludgate Hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full descrip- tion of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices. Mr. Benson (who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales) has also published a. pamphlet on Artistic Gold Jewellery, illustrated with the most beautiful designs of Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, Lockets, &c. &c., sutable for Wedding, Birthday, and other presents These pamphlets are sent post free for two stamps each. and they cannot be too strongly recommended to those contemplating a purchase, especially to residents in the country or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article they may require, and have it I forwarded with perfect safety. 6477-80

THIS MORNING'S TELEGRAMS. LONDON, SATURDAY, 9 a.m. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The Paris correspondent of the Times says there is now no longer cause for present uneasiness in the state of the Emperor's health. It was lately feared that symptoms had been detected of a more serious malady than those from which he has now been for more than a month a sufferer, but those apprehensions are dissi- pated. At the same time he must be looked upon for the future as much of an invalid. The affection of the spine, which he has long had, is not likely to improve as he grows older. He is at present still weak and unable to attend much to business. Within the last day or two a report of a possible abdication has had a limited circulation in Paris; and persons who know the Emperor well seem to think it may foreshadow a not improbable event. The Emperor is liable to a return of the state in which he has now for more than a month been. Future attacks might last even longer than the last, incapacitating him from attending to business, and causing immense inconvenience. The Prince Imperial will be 14 years of age in May, an age at which his majority will be proclaimed. There are persons who think that perforce it must come to that end. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE HARVARD CREW. The Telegraph says that the Prince of Wales has directed Captain Putten Saunders, the President of the Royal Athletic Club, to communicate to the gentlemen of the Harvard University crew, his regret at being unable to pay his respects to them during their stay in England, and his admiration of the gallant manner in which they rowed their great race. The Herald, Standard, and Daily News comment on Mr. Bright's Rochdale letter to Mr. Kabarry. THE GOLD IMPORT. From the Herald: It is stated that of the large quan- tity of gold expected from Australia on Monday, the greater part will be taken for Paris, with the exception of about £50.000 or £60,000, which will be shipped to India. Silver continues to be purchased for India in moderate quantities. INDIAN CORN. It is stated that one of the largest fleets of Indian corn and wheat ever known, is now off the coast. ENGLISH TEA AND THE AMERICAN CUSTOMS. Matheson and Co., of Lombard street, make known a practice with regard to the levying of customs at New York. In July they shipped 216 half-chests of tea to that port. The duty payable on the tea from this country is 20 per cent., ad valorem, but the Custom- house at New York have been instructed to demand that invoice be made up with the English duty of six- pence per lb. added to the cost. Not only, however, is the ten per cent. on the English duty now claimed, but a penalty of 20 per cent. upon the whole importation has been imposed.

USING A FALSE SEAMAN'S CERTIFICATE.—Thomas White, seaman, was charged under the 518th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, with having used a false certificate, for the purpose of obtaining a berth on board a ship. Mr. Griffith prosecuted. Thomas Stenner, a Custom-house officer, said the defendant came to the shipping office on Thursday, to ship in the vessel Berbice, of Liverpool. He produced a certificate of discharge, which he said was his o'vn. He (wit- ness) then asked him his name, and defendant replied, Thomas White;" and he at once suspected that it was a dis- charge which had been given to another seaman, the name on the certificate being Palmer. Defendant also produced a second certificate, which was fabricated. After some further questioning, defendant admitted that neither of the certifi. cates were his, and that he had found one in his pocket and the other on the ground. Defendant, who did not deny the charge, said he would throw himself on the mercy of the court. Mr. David remarked that he had rendered himself liable to a fine ofeloo, and sentenced him to a month's hard labour. ASSAULTING THE PoncE.—John O'Niet was charged with being drunk and riotous, and assaulting P.C. Manley, in Bute-terrace, on Thursday night. The officer stated that he saw the prisoner beating a woman, and HE interfered, when prisoner sprang at him and tore his coat. Fined 10s. and costs, or fourtten days. ILLEGAL SLAUGHTERING.—Thomas Tucker and Charles Gibbon were charged by Inspector James with illegally slaughtering a sheep on their premises. Mr. Slephens, who appeared for the defence, pleaded guilty on behatfofcach. Gibbon was discharged, as he was only employed by Tucker, and the latter was fined 40s. and costs. KEEPING GUNPOWDER ON BOARD A SHIP IN THE DOCKS.—Captain Edward Anson, of the Suomi, from Car- thagena, was summoned for having 301bs. of gunpowder on board at the time his ship entered the Bute Docks, in con- travettion of the 47th section of the Bute Docks Act, I860. Mr. Sherley appeared on behalf of the Bute Trustees, and Mr. Stephens for the captain. Mr. Sherley, in opening the case, said that on the 7th inst. the defendant, the captain of the Suomi, brought his ship into the Bute East Dock, and from information he had received, Captain Johnson, the dock-master, sent Captain Cock on board to make a search, which was accordingly done, and 301bs. of gunpowder found in the cabin. This quantity was contained in three kegs. Captain Johnson, under the powers of the Act of Parlia- ment, seized the powder and had it destroyed. This was a vejy serious offence, and the most disastrous results might arise from an explosion.—Mr. Sherley called Captain Thomas Cock, who stated that the Suomi came into dock on the 7th. She was loaded with Esparto fibre and iron ore. He received information that there was gunpowder on board, and Capt. Johnson ordered him to make a search, which he did, and found three kegs of gunpowder, weighing 301bs., in the cabin. The powder was afterwards taken out to the Roads, and there thrown overboard. — By Mr. Stephens The captain came and told me he had gunpowder 011 board, when his vessel was in the basin. Did not know the captain had been at the Dock Office and reported it. The captain said he was looking for Captain Johnson. The captain gave the gunpowder to me. He told me it was under lock, and no one could get at it but himself. I believe I pointed out the defendant to Captain Johnson. I was not aware of the existence of the calise relating to gunpowder. Mr. Slephens then addressed the bench for the defence. He thought that it was ridiculous to suppose that a captain who had, perhaps, never beea IN England before, should know all about a bye-law which only applied to Cardiff Docks, and which was only a public one in a certain way. Even the witness for the prosecution, who was one of the dock authorities, admitted that previous to this affair he did not know that such a clause as the 47th was in force. When this was the case, it was not to be wondered at that the captain was ignorant of it. Bat the captain whom he defended had done all he could to get the gunpowder removed. He had seen Mr. Cock, had tried on several occasions to find Captain Johnson, and had in fact done all that was in his power to get advice under the circum- stances, but was unable to better himself, because even the authorities themselves were not aware of the dock regu- lations. He had even accompanied Mr. Cock on board and given the powder to him at once when asked for it with- ont attempting any concealmerrt. Mr. Stephens then called- j u- alleen' wh° sdd he was a clerk at Messrs. Dallstrom and Hillestro.n's, shipbrokers. He was on board the Suomi when the tide surveyor came on board, and the captain told the surveyor that he had gunpowder "n board. He (witness) accompanied the captain to the dock-offiep Thpj> not see captain JoMnsoi,, a cierK, to whom the captain mentioned the fact of his having gunpowder on board. The clerk said he should have reported the fact before the vessel came into dock. They also told Captain Cock of it. He was afterwards told to clear his ship at the Custom-housf, and see Captain Johnson afterwards. This he did, but could not see Captain Johnson. He (witness) was in the vessel when Captain Cock came on board.—Mr. Cock was recalled and said, that the first information he obtained of the gun- powder being on board was from the captain himstlf. The Bench snd there was no doubt the captain had done wrong in bringing the gunpowder into port; but there were many extenuating circumstances, and the justice of the case would be met by defendant paying a fine of 40s. and costs. SATURDAY. (Before Mr. W. ALEXANDER and Mr. J. PRIDE.) DISORDERLY PROSTITUTE.-Ann Hughes was charged with being disorderly in Bute-road, soon after midnight this morning. As she had not been before the Bench since 1866 she was discharged with a caution. A SUBJECT FOR THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. John Quinn, a little Irish boy whose head scarcely reached the top of the dock, was brought, up as a destitute boy. He had been found last night by Detective Price on the steps of the Market-house, in a very wet and neglected st^ie. He told the officer that his mother had been drownedTh Cork, and that his father had died. The boy said that he had come that day from Newport, where be had been landed from Ire- land in the Cork packet, in charge of a woman he did not know. The officer said he believed the main part of the boy's story, as he was evidently a stranger to Cardiff. The Bench directed that he should be sent to the Industrial Seool for four years. DRUNK.—Michael Turner was charged with having bee drunk in the streets a' mid-day on Friday. He exposed hio self several times. Fined 40s. and costs, or one montae. Mary A'1Il Welsh was charged with being drunk andelfth cent in Btite-road early this morning. This was her^ appearance before the Bench. Sentenced to one imprisonment. „ ch:ir AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—James POWER • J PM.0.^E with having BE^N in the Salutation Inn for an il j '.AF The dtfendant was discovered lying full ,T>NR.'NN,.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SWANSEA CASHIER.— On Thursday the Swansea magistrates issued a warrant for the apprehension of Joseph Lewis Smith, on a charge of embezzling from bis masters, Mes-rs. Ind, Coope and Co.—he being the book-keeper and cashier at their Swansea offices. ROATH LOCAL BOARD ELECTION The election of three members for this Board will take place on the 27th in-t. The three tetiring members are Messrs. J. Thomas Robert iVeyrick, and Rees Enoch. At present no notice of a contest has been given. RECOGNITION MEETING.-On Wednesday evening last upwards of 400 persons assembled in the large vestry of Wesley Chapel, Charles street, to welcome the newly appointed superintendent minister, the Rev. George Blanchflower, late of Sunderland, where he laboured for three years with great acceptance. Tea was pro- vided, afterwards a meeting was held, when Mr. Price presided, and after having delivered a short practical address he called on the Rev. C. W. Christien, Messrs. Courtis, S. D. Jenkins, Hibbert, Moxey, Tregaskis, Upright, Vaughan, and Lewis Williams, to address the meeting. Afterwards the Rev. George Blanchflower spoke upon the work of Wesleyan Methodism, class meetings, &c., and was listened to with great attention. Several of the speakers spoke in very kind terms of the late superintendent, the Rev. W. Andrews, who is now stationed in Newcastle-on-Tyne. 1 FOUNDERING OF A LARGE STEAMER, NEAR BARRY.—We 1 learn this morning that the fine steamer, known as the Golden Fleece" has foundered between Sully and Barry. The vessel only left the Penarth dock yester- L,, day, and had on board 2,000 tons of Powell's Duffryn j coal for Alexandria. Only one of the crew, at the time I of our information, was missing. It may not improb- ably transpire that a leak was discovered, and that the vessel sunk when being run ashore, in which case there is every probability that she may be raised.

GENERAL NEWS. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.-The Law Times says:- We are are in a position to state that there is no foundation whatever for the rumour which has found expression in some influential journals that Lord Chief Justice Cockburn is about to resign THE TERRIBLE COLLIERY ACCIDENT.-It has now been ascertained that the whole of the men employed in the Avondale mine, in Pennsylvania, when the fire broke out, perished by the terrible accident. Access has at length been got to the workings, and the bodies, to the number of 202, have been brought to the surface. MR. GLADSTONE'S INDISPOSITION CONTINUES, and it is feared that he will be prevented in consequence from paying his expected visit to Whitby. The right hon. gentleman is still the guest of the Duke of Cleveland, at Raby. Mrs. Gladstone was presented with an ad- dress on her arrival at Whitby this week, in which the eminent statesmanship of Mr. Gladstone was highly lauded, and sympathy expressed with him in his indis- position. THE MONEY ASPECT OF THE IRISH CHURCH question is still being industriously thrust to the front, much to the sorrow of those who think that more vital questions ought to be first considered in the work of reconstruc- tion. Some of the suggestions of the clergy are exceed- ingly modest. The Dean of Lime'ick, for example, affirms that in order to provide anything like adequate incomes for the clergy. £ 250,000 must be subscribed annually-not for ever, he explains, but during the lives of the existing clergy. The Presbyterians are also ac- tively employing their energies in the same; and at a meeting of the Sustentation Committee, on Thursday, various financial schemes were submitted for censidera- tion. THE ULSTER PROTESTANTS.—A resolution has been passed at the Down Synod of Churchmen which gives dissatisfaction to the Protestant laity of other dioceses, as tending, it is urged, to split up the Chinch into dioceses with distinct interests. ft was to the effect that" in the opinion of tile Synod it is desirable that be representation of the laity in the General Synod or Convocation of the Church should lie mainly based on the Church population of each diocese." It was urged during the same meeting, with respect to the represen- tation of the clergy, that "it would be absurd for 170 cletgy to come from the diocese of Cork to represent 43,000, and only 150 clergy from the great and important dioce-e' of Down to represent. 146.000 people." THE AGRARIAN MURDER IN MAYO.—When the nine men in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of the Scotch farmer. Hunter, were arraigned before the Newport magistrates, county Mayo, there were on the bench Sir Robert L. Blosse, the Marquis of Sligo, Lord Dufferin, Lord Longford, and Sir C. Bruce. The magistrates deliberated two hours on the informa- tions of the police, when a remand of the prisoners WIWJ applied for on the part ot TUE urown. HIT TT. BLOSSE said it was the first time such a brutal and savage murder had been committed in their county, and he trusted that every person would exert himself to bring to justice the perpetrator of so foul a deed. It was a disgrace to the whole country as well as to their neighbourhood. The Marquis of Sligo observed, Now that the Viceregal party are here, it is even a greater defiance to the law than it otherwise would be." The prisoners were all remanded, and immediately con- veyed to the county prison in Castlebar. A reward fund was subscribed. A crowd of some hundreds waited outside the courthouse, and displayed an eager interest in the proceedings. AIR. BRIGHT ON FREE TRADE.-The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Bright to Mr. Leonard Kaberry, jun., of Rochdale:—"Rochdale, Sept. 8.— Dear Si!I thank you for the newspaper. There are knaves in the world, and there are simpletons, and the one class preys on the other. The Tory party is al- ways driven to these tricks-they cannot otherwise appeal to the multitude. If they complain that too many customs duties have been repealed, they will perhaps kindly tell the working men what duties they will put on again. Is it the duty on corn or cattle, or do they wish a duty on imported cotton ? If a foreigner will not buy cheaply from us, will it mend the matter if we refuse to buy cheaply from him or from some other foreigner ? If wages have risenfrom 20 to 50 per cent. since 1840, is this consistent with a wrong policy as to our foreign trade ? The pamphlet to which you refer bears the marks of having been written in Bedlam. It is a mere confusion of figures, and is wholly without logic or sense. The good harvest will tend to restore health to the general trade of the country; and when we have a sufficient supply of cotton, Lancashire will recover from its present de- pressed condition. It is more cotton we want, and not more taxes on imports. I suspect the people of Lan- cashire will not fail to understand this.—I am, re- spectfully yours, JOHN BRIGHT." THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF'S RECENT CHARGE has given rise to a corteapondenoe botweea bis Lordsbip and Mr. S. R. Bosanqnet, whom it wiil be rem-mb ttd was the chairman and one of the principal speakers at tbe New- dav'/S!1 routings some months since. To- y lerlin contains another article on the correspon- ence, in which it says: We publish in another column a letter from the Lord Bishop of Llandaff in reply to one from Mr. S. R. Bosanquet, which appeared in our last. From a passage in that letter, it would ap- pear that His Lordship considers that we pronounced an unfounded strictura in the sentence he has quoted from a leading article in oar last week's paper and he re- produces a paragraph from his charge as an answer to our remarks. We must be excused for saying, that although the passage thus reproduced condemns certain .t, countenanced by the Book of Com-'OQ Prayer, it also affords tviueiice ot tne timidity and the excessive yearning far tranquillity against which our remarks were directed. In the words, I do hot say here, but elsewhere," his lordship specially ex. cepts the clergymen upon whom Blone biM censUre could be expected to have any practical effect. Our re. marks of last week bad specific reference t0 "the light in which the ultra-Ritual proclivities certain neigh- bouring clergymen are regarded by the.Bisbop of Llan- daff and the article bears evideae« in severai places of its intended application to Church matters. Yet in a passage quoted by "e Hshop in proof of his fidelity as a denounce'" of unauthorised prac- tices, he excepts the of his own diocese who are addicted to ac',e< in question, and whose apparent "combi" °n for the re-introduction of Roman doctrine," liP' Isturbed the tranquillity of the diocese.
