A CARDIFF VESSEL IN COLLISION. On Wednesday morning, ? coIlMion occurred in the Usk between the s.s. Edgworth, of CardiS, Captain Willis, and the Calypao, of Bristol, Cap- tain Bray.

Both ships met opposite the Alexandra Dock ballast stages, aud it was there that the collision occurred, whereby the Edgworth waa seriously damaged amidships on the atarboard side, and the Calypso sustained siight damage en tho foremost part, including the bow and stem. Each party Mamea the other as being the cause of the casualty; but it is stated that the outward-bound vessel waa on the wrong aide uf the river, and that thereby the maritime regulations were not observed.

The Press Association is informed that the military authorities have decided that it is inex- pedient to confer upon Major.General Sir F.

FRANCE AND ITALY. c SERIOUS DISTURBANCES AT MARSEILLES. FURIOUS ENCOUNTERS. SERIOUS ASPECT OF AFFAIRS. ANOTHER GREAT FIGHT. OVER SIXTY PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED. MARSEILLES, Juno 17, Midnight. — As the troops who disembarked here to-day on their return Tunis were marched through the Rue L. RJpuMique, several hisses nere heard proceed- ing from the Italian National Club. Aa soon as the troo[s had passed, the crowd of spectators loudly demanded that the Italian escutcheon over the club door should be taken down. The Corn miasary of Police thereupon requested the pre- sident of the Club to re:nove it:, but was met with a positive refusal. The Prefect shortly afterwards appeared, and endeavoured to calm the crowd, while deprecating the removal of the escutcheon. Two persons meanwhile succeeded in climbing up to the balcony of the club, but were thrust back by the Police Commissary. The Prefect then sent or the gendarmerie, aa the crowd continued to increase, and the excitement became more and more violent. Before their arrival, however. M. Gelu. the Deputy Mayor, and M. Castan, cue ot che Municipal Councillors, entered the Club, and disregarding the energetic protest of the Prefect, proceeded to tear down the escutcheon, amid the acclamations of the crowd. By nine o'clock the people had been dispersed, and the approaches to the Club were occupied by a detachment of soldiers. Every precaution haa beton taken to prevent any renewal of the disturb- ances. About eleven o'clock a band of &ome thirty Italians paraded the streets, carrying the Italian nag, and sinking national songs. On arriving at the Rue Cauebiere, they were met by M. Bogue, Councillor of that ward of the City, who induced them to give up thefbg. No further disturbance occurred. MARSEILLES, Sunday, 11 p.m.—Since eight o'clock this evening there haa been a aeries of furious eacountera between the French and Italians. It is said that three people have been killed and a large number wounded. June 20t.h.—Encounters between the French and Italians are still occurring in different parta of the town. Eight persons are reported to have been killed and 23 wounded, but there are as yet only two dead in hospital, and 12 wounded.Three of the latter are not expected to live through the night. Sixty-nve persona have been arrested In connec- tion with the riots. The Public Prosecutor h&s commenced an investigation into the circumstances. Later.—In the encounter yesterday evening between the French and Italians several of the latter used their knives, innicting wounds which in some cases proved fatal. In some quarters of the city the Italians even &red revolver sbota. The crowd then, becoming enraged, pursued the Italians, and severely injured several of them. Active measures have been taken by the authorities to arrest the guilty parties and prevent any renewal of the riota. PARIS, Monday Evening.—Rioting continues at Marseilles. Notwithstanding that a proclamation by the Italian consul has been issued exhorting hia compatriots to remain calm, a serious* melee followed the aounding of the bell at the dinner hour the dock labourer's knives were drawn and French and Italians fought for an hour before a troop of soltliera could restore tranquillity. Over CO persons were killed and ounded. It ia said that General Oialdini, the Italian Ambassador, has had a long interview with the Minister for Foreign ASairs respecting the trou- bles at Marseilles. MARSEILLES, Tuesday.—The town haa been tolerably quiet all night owing in great measure to the fact that the streets are heavily patrolled. Further disturbancea are, however expected to. day, as the French mob have stated their nrm determination to wreck every workshop wheie Italians are employed.

GREECE AND TURKEY. ATHENS, June 19.—The news from Thesaaly is more encouraging for a pacific occupation than at any previous time. though there are still menacing indications at certain points. The chief of the Berlashis, a most important sect of the Muasul- man Albanian! and a person of great inSuence on both sides of the new frontier, has publicly announced his intention of adheriag to the Greek Government. There are alarming rumours brought from Arta aa to the ultimate intentions of the Turkish authorities, but I regard them as fabricated to quiet the Mussulmans of Epircs. ATHMts, Tuesday Evening.—In consequence of the dilatory conduct of the Porte in delaying to sign the convention with Greece, the Greek Govern. ment has telegraphed to its minister at Constan- tinople to call the attention of the Porte to the j inconveniences of the situation. Troops intended for the occupation of Arta, will cross the frontier on the 4th of July whether ti'<* convention be "ened (2 not,

Their Lordships ro=e at half-past iive o'clock.

iF HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock, THE BRADLAUGH PE 1'ITIONS. Baron DH WORMS, in putting a question to the Chairman of the committee on public peti- tions. a-ked for the indulgence of the House in making an explanation. He wished to ask w ether s.ome of the petitions, praying that Mr Bradlaugh might, be aHowed to take hia seat on m king an affirmation, did not contain such worda as tlIese, Praying the House to cause the law to be obeyed, and justice to be done:" and, if so, whether ti.e commi-teo did noc hold s:)ch words to he disrespectf.d to the Hou,;e, and intended, in accordance with the recent ruling of the Speaker, to call its attention to [hem. Mr LABOUCHERE (L., Northampton) rose to order, :'nd asked if ti.e hon. member could etate his reasons. The SPEAKER said that it was very unusual for one member to interpose when another had asked the leave of the House to make an explana* tion. Baron DE WORMS continued: He had refused to present one <-f these petitions as being disre- spectful to the House, and one of the persona who signed it wrote to the Daily lcws saying We do not impute that the House has acted illegally; we amrm that it has." (Laughter.) Mr LABOUCHERE would take the opportu. nity of asking why the Statute of Richard 11. had never been repealed, which made Mr Bradlaugh liable t" Sue and imprisonment for not performing the duties for which he had been elected. Seeing that the Prime Minister, the law omcers of the Crown, and other eminent authorities had expressed their opinion that Mr Bradlaugh was Ieg:d!y elected, this House, aa one branch of the legislature <'n)y, could not exclude him. The SPEAKER said that as the question of the hon. member did not arise out of the question I' previously put, he was not in order. Sir C. FOR8TER (L., WalsaU) said that the committee had considered the language of these petitions. Some members of the committee felt that they were disrespectful, but others held a different opinion,and were not in favour of report- tbem to the House. In reply to Mr Labouchere, he had to say that he had nothing to do with reporting Acts of Parliament, and he believed that Baroo de Worms was perfectly justified in refusing to present the petition referred to. Sir C. Forster, in reply to Air Onstow, could not recol- lect how many of the committee were against reporting the petition to the House. Mr ONSLOW asked if similar petitions in future would be received. The SPEAKER said that waa a matter for the House and not for him to decide.

THE PROPOSED DEBATE ON THE TRANSVAAL. Sir M. RICKS-BEACH (C., East Gloucester) asked the Prime Minister if he could now name a time for the Transvaal debate, and also asked if he could contra'tict the statement which had appeared in the Press that the debate would have to be postponed nutil the Land Bill waa dis- posed of. Mr GLADSTONE said there was no authority for such a statement. The Government: had received information from Suuth Africa that the measures taken iu reference to the occurrence at Potchefstroum had practically been completed,and tberefore.on that account, there was no impediment to the debate but the Government were ex- tremely desirous of 6nishin(r the committee on the Irish Land Dill. Upon that he hoped not many v.eeks would be bpent, but if that appeared likely it would be the duty of the Government to adopt some method of accelerating the proceedings of the committee. He did not wish to give any pledge beyond saying that the Government would devote the nrst available Jay after the committee on the Land Bill to the decision of the Transvaal debate. Sir S. NORTHCOTE (C., N. Devon) and Sir M. HICKS.BEACH took exception to a long delay in view of the importance of the subject. Mr GLADSTONE fdt the dimcuity of the position, and if the committee should last for a very long period the question should be raised again. THE MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT. Mr ANDERSON (L., Glasgow) gave notice of the revised terms of hia motion on the business of the House, by which he wished to provide that no motion for adjournment nhall be mado during question time without the leave of the House, or the support of 40 members rising in their places. THE IRISH LAND BILL.. The House then u ent into committee on the Irish Lund Bi!L Mr GIVAN (L.. Mouaghan) moved as an add!- tion tu sub-section 4 of clause 4, which provides that a tenant shall not without the consent of hia landlord sub-divide or sub-let his holding, the pro. viso that if the landlord should unreasonably refuse such consent the court .night, in the case of holdings of 30 acres and upwards, and ot not less than B15 rateable value, grant such consent, and make such order in relation thereto as to the court should deem just." Mr GLADSTONE objected to the proposal. Mr GORST(C., Chatham) hoped the amend- ment would not be pressed, t.nd said the principle on '.vhich it was founded had already been dis- cuased several timea. Mr GIVAN proposed to omit the woroa winch imposed the limit of acreage and valuation, and After some further discussion the committee divided, when the amendment, as modified, was negatived by 115 against 52. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND moved the insertion of the following snb-section. "The landlord, or person or persons authorised by him in that behalf (he or they making reasonable amends and satisfaction for an injury to be done, or occasioned thereby) shall have the nghtto enter upon a holding for any of the purposes M. lowing. That is to say, mining or taking minerals, quarry ing or taking stone, marble, gravel, sand, or alate cutting or taking tunberor turf opening or making roads, drains, and water courses viewing or examining thereon shooting, hunting, nshing, or taking game or nsh and the tenant shall not persistently obstruct the lanolord, or any person or persons authorised by him in that bebatf. as aforesaid, !n the exercise of any euch right." Mr GREER (C., Carrickfergus) moved as an amendment the insertion of the words brick clay and nre-clay," so aa to enable the landlord to take those things. After some discussion the amendment was agreed to. Mr GIVAN (L., Monaghan) moved an amend- ment to the sub-section to exempt timber, planted by the tenant or his predecessora, or that waa necessary for ornament or shelter, and also such turf as was required for the usa of the holding. Tina was accepted by the Attorney General for Ireland, and agreed to. An amendment by Mr LALOR (H,R., Queen's Co.) to eliminate hunticg from the pur. poses for which the landlord might enter, waa also agreed to, as was also a further amendment by Mr A. M. Sullivan to restrict the right of entry to reasonable times. Mr LITTON (L., Tyrone), moved an amend. ment Riving the right of taking nsh exclusively to the landlord, subject to the provisions of the Ground Game Act, 1880. Mr PELL (C., Leicestershire S). moved the omission of the word persistently from before the word "abstract" in the new section, and on a division the amendment was negatived by 253 against 133. The sub-section was then ordered to stand part of the clause. Lord A. HILL (C., Co. Down), moved another sub-section prohibiting tenants from opening publice-houses; or undertaking any business of a f dangerous or obnoxious character without the assent of the landlord. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL for IRELAND opposed the sub-section, After some discussion, in the course of winch Mr GLADSTONE said he would accept the amendment as far as the public-houses were concerned, and would consider before the report whether the clause could be carried further, Mr HEALY (H.R.. Galway) moved that tho chairmaii report progress, pointing out that it was absurd to mix up the question of public-houses, which was already dealt with by the iandlords in their licensin:! capacity, with the objects of this clause. This motion led to a lengthy discussion, and on a division at a quarter past one the motion was negatived by 292 against 17. Mr T. P. O'CONNER (H.R.. Galway) then moved that the chairman leave the cbair. Mr GLADSTONE strongiy deprecated the mo- tion, and it was withdrawn. At a quarter to two o'clock tha committee divided on Lord A. Hill's sub.section with the following result:— rortnemottOQ. 219 Agaiust. 39 Majority. 180 Progress was reported at hve mmutes to two o'clock, and the House resumed. The Hcuse adjourned at 2.20 a.m. The Hcuse adjourned at 2.20 a.m.

The market train, leaving Oswestry at 4.15, which was aa usu ? hlled with people returning from Qsweatry market, was travelling between Llany'uynach and Dausaint- fraid at the rate of ab')Ut 20 milea an ho'jr, when a truck loaded with coat, which, with a lime truck, preceded the carriages, from some un- explained cause Srst mounted the rails and then left them. The truck was dragged along with the reat of the train for about 60 yards, when the carriage following it, which waa Sited with the passengers, waa thrown on the raits, and turned over on its side. Happily the coupl- ings broke, aud saved the carriage from being dragged along in this position. But for this there would, in all probability, have been a serious losa of lite. The guard's vac, which followed, was also thr.'wu across the rails, and the next carriage ran into the guard's van,so that the end of it was stove in. The carriage then thrown over haif way. but was prevented from falling right over by the coupling! The laat carriage maintained its equi- librium, and no damage was done to it, except that the footboard was broken. The train waa brought to a standstill as soon as possible, and the passengers extricated. There were between 70 and 80 passengers in the train, and of these twelve persons received injuries, one or two of them of a rather serious character. Air Edward Roberts, fm'mer, of Tynewydd, LIan- fechan, as the carriages which had left the rails were being dragged along before tt'e train came to a standstill, tried to open the door and get out, b'tt just at that moment the carri )ge was thrown over, and Ins arm got fixed underneath it. He remained in this painful position for an hour until the door of the carriage had been sawn away In order to release him. Strangely enough, it was found that hia arm was not broken or very much hurt. <Jreat al<rn) wap, oi conrse, occasioned by the accident. Tramc was stopped, and a number of men employed ad night in removing the débris and repairing the raila which had been broken and tern up. At six o'clock "n Thursday morning the line was again clear, and tratHc resumed. Amontfttt the more seriously injured passengers waa Mrs Jones, shopkeeper of Meifod, who had to be taken to an iun at Hansaintfraid, and attended by a doctor Mr Miles, baiiiif of LIwyn. whose shoulder was injured, and Mr Kichard Edwards, poultry dealer, of Lianfairfechan, whose head was badly cut and bruised. Up to Thursday evening all the injured passengers appeared to be going on well. Ko accident of so serious a character baa happened on the Cambrian Railway for many years.

? ROYAL MONMOUTH ENGINEER MIUTIA. SHAM FIGHT AT PWLHOIME. INSPECTION AND GRAND REVIEW. The sham fight in connection with this regiment 'took place on Tuesday, the Inspecting Omcer, being Colonel PhiHpotts.R.E.,of Pembroke.Lieut. Lester acting aa aide de camp. There was a very large attendance of spectators, notwithstanding the weather was somewhat stormy. The general ide I of the sham Sght may be gleaned from the following facts. The works at Pwlholrne form the right Sank of a line of defence round Monmoutb, extending from the river Monnow to the river Wye below the Troy station, in- tended to cover the Wye Valley Railway from an attack from the direction of Newport. The defences of Moumouth to the left of Pwl- Holrne take no direct part in the defence of Pwl- Hol'"e, because the valley of the Monnow is so much below the ridge of hills on its southern bank that an enemy advancing down the valley of the Monnow is under cover from them but their supposed existence prevents hia attacking the left Sank of the Pwl.Holrne works. An enemy being landed at Newport is proceeding up the valley of the Severn against Gloucester. In order to prevent troops being brought aowu upon his Sank by the Wye Valley Railway, be determines to destroy that railway at Monmouth, and detaches a dying column for. purpose. Finding the defences of Monmouth too strong for a frontal attack, he decides to advance down the valley of the Monnow, and turn the right Sank of these defences at Pwl.HoImp. Arriving at RockSeld on the night of the 20th, be finds that all the bridges over the Monnow have been destroyed by the defenders, but collecting sumcient material for a bridge of casks, he crosses the Mon- now at RockSeld, and advances aionz the Osbaston road, Seating his bridge of casks to within rane of the Pwl.Holrne, where he decides to re-crosa the Monnow and attack thePwI.HoIme defences. The attacking force ia represented by six companies of the R.M.E.M., under Lieut.- CoL Davis, and the defending force by two com- panies under Lieut.-CoI. Sheebey. The action is sUI.poed to have commenced at daybreak on Tuesday, when the defenders' outposts discover the raft of casks be:ng Seated down the river under cover of the high bank". and the main body of th enemy advancing along the Osbaston road. The defenders* outposts at once open Sre on the bridge, but are driven in by the heavy fire of the main body of the enemy, who av dl themselves of the cover of the hedges. The attack is eventually made, the enemy crossing on their bridge- escaladiug the main \\orks. turn- ing the right Sank of the defence, and driving the garrison into their defensible barL, which, after tremendous firing, is' taken. The p!au of attack and the earthworks were most skilfully carried out under Captain and Adjutant Sir Arthur Mackworth, Bart., who nas ably assisted by Sergt.-Instructor Redhouse. and other non-com- missioned omcera of the Royal Engineers. The whole of the movements were rapidly and cleanly made. The inspection tuok place at the barracks on Tuesday, when the stores, tents, and books were inspected by Col. Phillpotts. Several young omcers successfully passed through ttheir examina- tions in the day. The grand review took placa in the Soldiers' Field, Hadnock-road, on Thursday, the reviewing oiEcer being Cot. Fhillpotts, R.E., to whom Lieutenant Feetbam acted as aide-de-camp. The weather was Sue, and there waa a very large and fashionable attendance of spectators, and carriage I parties were very numerous. The mea looked very smart and clean, and drilled with great precision and steadiness. The movements were as follows :—Under Col. Macdonnell: Marched into the Sold, and formed a line upon the markers; wheeled into line, open order, general salute; fot m square on two centre companies; form columns of double companies line to the right on the right of the right half battallion retired in echelon from the right; form company square; prepare for cavalry nred a volley each square; re. formed companies formed line on No. 6 Company, under Lieut.-Col Sheehey ..cha.nKed front haif right on No. 4; advance in line; quarter column on No. 4 take ground to the left. in fours advance in double columns the two centre companies in front deoloyed outwards. Major Williamson and Captain Vangban having put the regiment through a few evolutions. Colonel MacdonneH again took command, and completed the move- ments, as foltow:—March past in column march past in quarter column march past in quarter column at the double; counter marched moved to the right in fourA; wheeled to the left; deployed to the right; open order general salute advance in review order halt, general salute close the ranks formed fours to the left, and marched home. The general regimental orders shew that the inspecting otiicer wishes the regiment to be in- formed that be waa very much pleased with tho manner in which the earth-works and field-works atPwl.Holme.aud the engineering works generally have been carried out. The shelter trenches and bridging were exceedingly good, and ho was especially pleased with the manner in which the Seating raft was thrown over the Monnow (by No. 1 Company) on Tuesday. He was also well pleased with the drill on Thursday. The omcers entertained a large number of ladies and gentlemen of the town and county at lun- cheon or. Thursday.

NEWPORT COUNTY COURT. ACTION IN ADMIRALTY.—HEAVY CLAIM FOB DAMAGES. At the Newport county-court, on Wednesday —before Mr J. M. Herbert, judge—the owners of the Norwegian vessel Eleanor sued the owners of the steamship Rancilia for the recovery of S300 aa damages sustained by the former vessel being run into by the Rancilia in the Alexandra Dock, Newport, on the 4th inst. The evidence of the captain, who ia likewise part owner, had previ. ously been taken before the Registrar of the court, Mr H. J. Davie?.—Mr W. C. Pain was for the plaintiffs Mr Fred Vaughan representing the defendanta.—It appealed that the Eleanor had taken in a cargo of rails and coal, and was lying at the top of the Dock with her bows against the lock gates, ready for sea, when the Rancilia, alargesLeamer, came into dock, and waa going to take up a berth between the Eleanor and another ship. Whilst being moored for this purpose she collided with the Eleanor, the result being that the Norwegian vessel made water freely. In the evening it was found that she had 11 feet of water in her hold, and it was necessary to keep the pumps going for several days. She had also to be partially discharged in consequence of the water making its way into the hold.—The captain was cross-examined by Mr Vaughan, and he admitted that whilst in conversation with the Dock-master respecting the collision, he said the gale which was blowing on that day may have blown the Rancilia against the Eleanor.—The case was then adjourned for the attendance of other witnesses. A REFRACTORY BANKRUPT. Re Edward Jenkins, farmer, of Goytre.—In this case of bankruptcy, Mr H. S. Gustard appeared for the trustee, and Mr G. H. Llewellyn for the bankrupt. It was proposed to make a public examination of the bankrupt, but Mr Gustard previously stated that his Honour had on a former occasion taken a warrant for the arrest of the bankrupt oK the SIe, in consideration of his promising to give all necessary information to the trustee. He was asked to state the whereabouts of his children—who were grown up and required to give evidence—but he declined to do so. It was subsequently ascertained that the children in question were staying with a brother of the bank- rupt at L!ansoy. It w:ts evident that he was keeping them out of the way. Summonses had been obtained, but could not be served on the f-artie?. His Honour expressed hia opiuion that the children were being kept out of the way. The bankrupt waa questioned as to his children, and denied having wilfully kept them ont of the way. The caee waa ultimately adjourned to the Jaly coarf4t

GLAMORGAN VOLUNTEER I ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL COMPETITION AT fORT TALbOT. FIBST DAY, The twenty.Brat annual prize meeting of this association, an event ,,(Joked forward to with the greatest interest- ? ?cal v?unteera aa the red letter day of military year. commenced at the range, 'Órt Talbot, on Wednesday. The cQmi,e,,dt-"On opened amid a sharp rain shower, and d\t.r,u the morninn the weether was very un. I favourable for shooting, owing to the frequent falls of rain, tue "arable light, and a wind a'nounting to half a gale, which Mew from the searightacrosathe range. In the afternoon the sun came out, and. except at rare intervals, did not disappear again during the day, the wind only remaining to mar, in som measure at any rate, the attempts of the competitors. The <'rrange- ments for the meeting were admirably carried out as usual by Capt. J ones, of Cae Hir. Aberavon, the secretary uf the association, upon whom most of the work devolved. Tents we'e provided for those of the competitors wiio wished to stay for the three days over which the meeting will expend, Uautain Miers, adjutant of the 3rd Glamorgan RiQea, Hwansea, arranging this matter. A meeting at which such excellent prizes as the association prizes of jt;3o, JE42, and JS42, aggregate prizes of £35, Lord Lieutenant's prizes of £75 and £50, added to ladies' prizes, and extra and other prizes, is such as uould be popularly supposed to attract an overacting nllwuer of competitors, but owintr, perhaps, to the distance the range is from some volunteer quarters, and the personal expenses attaching to a journey to the range, and a stay there, the entries, we are sorry to remark, show a considerable falling off this year as corn* pared "ith meetings held previously. We noticed also a comparative absence of entnea of artillery- men for the rinemeu's prizes, which are open to them as well as the volunteers whose firearm is particularly used, and they did not come forward very ireely for their own carbine competition, which haa this year, after a lapse of a number of meetings, bein6 re-established. The same amount was offered in prizes aa last year, with the addition of those offered to artillerymen as mentioned, and we must not omit to mention the continued liberality of the Lord Lieutenant—the president of the asaocia-tion — and other gentlemen, in ottering the splendid prizes, which form a most important item, and amoun to ?85. The shooting was f on the whole, and considering the weather, good, and the scores obtained were as will be seen very fair ARTILLERY CABBINB COMPETITION. — Open to- Glamorganshire ArtiHerymen. j610 divided into 10 prizes.

The aecond day of the meeting in connection with the Glamorganshire Artillery and Rule Volunteer Association, on the range at Port Talbot, opened with a continuation of the strong wind experienced on the 6rst day, which blew roughly during the forenoon, having shifted more to the rear. It was rather damaging to the shooting of most of the competitors, aud the light, although the day was a much brighter one than Wednesday, was not good. Hut the scores made, considering the disadvantages, were not at all bad. In connection with the association and its finances it is to be regretted that there is a falling of in the subscriptions, and although some gentlemen are as liberal as ever in giving the larger subscriptions, an all round support, such as is generalty reputed to be the most useful in & public subscription, is lacking. The institution seems to some gentlemen very worthy of handsome support; to others, it doea not. There was a much larger number of spectators on the ground on Thursday than on the preceding day, and several groups of large dimensions were to be aeeo around the mounds on which some of the favourite competitors lay, seeming greatly interested in the contest. As to the scores nothing remarkable was noted during the day, and the general quality of the shooting may be better understood from the appended scores: ASSOCIATION THIRD SEJujo. JE42.

CARDIFF COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY.—(Before His Honor Judge HERBERT.) LIABILITIES OF FOREIGNERS. Mr Downing for plaintiff, aud Mr Stephens for defendant.—The case was that in which an Italian seaman, named Petro Gurcovicb, claimed a certain sum as wages from the master of an Italian vessel, the Paulino. Mr Stephens, for the defendant, applied that before the case was proceeded with the plaintiff should give security for costs. It was a usual course of proceedings, he said, in the case of a foreigner residing out of the jurisdiction of the court.—Mr Downing demurred on the ground that the ptaintitf was residing at 119, Bute-road. It, however, appeared that the plaintiif resided really at Dalmatia, Austria, as his wife lived there.—His Houour held that the security must be given, as the domicile of the plaintiff waa his residence, and not the abode in which he lived at intervals of his voyages between Austria and Cardiff. Mr Downing undertook that the requisite security should be given.—Mr Vaohell said that he had had a similar case. In the case of Clifford against Styles, the residence of the pIaintiS was given as CardiS, and that he was a shipowner, while in fact the plaintiff resided in Ireland. In that case the judgment was against the plaintiff. His costs were taxed, but he had not succeeded in obtaining them, as the party resided out of the jurisdiction of the court. His Honour asked in what way he could deal with such a case. Mr Vacheli thought an expression of opinion from his honour would be sufficient. His Honour said that a person residing in Ireland was clearly a foreigner, as he was re- siding out of the jurisdiction of the court. Mr Downing said that he had a similar case in which Mr Inglede. was concerned, where the costs, jE20, which had been taxed, he could not obtain, be- cause Mr Ingledew's client resided in Ireland. The Registrar Then there is six of one and half a dozen of the other. His Honour Then one case can be set off against the other. Mr VacheII said he had not previously i.eard of the case referred to by Mr Downing. LIABILITUES OF SURETIES. At the last court an action was brought by Mr Solomon BIaiberg against John Williams, St. MeIIon's, and John Porter, St. Mellon Is, to recover the sum of JE21 6-! 8d, amount due on a promissory note given by a man named Benuett, and for which the defendants had become, it was alleged, sureties. Mr Scott appeared for plaintin, and Mr Cox ap- peared for defendants. In this case the man Bonnett had on the 30th August, 1879, the sum of J&20 lent to him by plaintin, the defendants signing the note, as they alleged, as witnesses only, and of this pIaintiK was well aware. The amount borrowed was for three months, for which the drawer of the note agreed to pay jEl la 6d interest. Before the note became due Benuett postponed that event by paying the three months' interest, and this went on from time to time, but eventually when Benaett failed in hia payment proceedings were commenced against the defendants as sureties. His Honour re- solved judgment, and now gave his judgment.— His Honour said At the hearing of this case I thought it clearly shewn that the plaintin' had given time to Bonuett, the giver of the note, to whom the money was lenk iyitli full knowledge that the other defendants were sureties only, and therefore that tLe other defendants were dis. charged, unless the time was given within their consent. To prove such consent, a witness named Hodge was called, who proved that when the note was due he gave the defendants notice of dis* honouring; and also a letter to Hodge, from defendant Porter, was put in, asking Hodge if he could procure from plaintiff a loa-' for the amount of the note to get him to lend the money to Benuett to discharge bis liability. After consideration, I am of opinion that the notice of dishonour, and Porter's application for a loan, are not aumcient to upset the positive testimony of Porter and Williams that they had not given their consent to Bennett pur- chasing three months' forbearance from the plain* tiff before the note arrived at maturity, and there- fore I think it my duty to hold that they are tboth discharged, and entitled to judgment. He gave t udgment for the defendants, with costs.

,THE STAFFORDSHIRE COLLIERS AND A PERMANENT FUND. Representative Staffordshire colliers and their employers have just again met to consider a mutual insurance scheme to supersede the Employers' Liability Act. It was reported that the thin coal miners were favourable to the scheme, but the thick coal men were undecided, as they had not been accustomed to contribute to any kind of society. It was resolved to establish and accept the scheme, and put it in operation at once for the benefit of the tliin coal men, leaving the thick coal men to move themselves. A similar proposal for the iron trade has faUen through.

PONTYPOOL LOCAL BOARD. The Local Board held their.monthly meeting on Wednesday, Mr David Williams in the chair. —Mr Fox called the attention of the board to the fact that the public lamps were extinguised sinca the beginning of June, and wished to know by L whose order they were put out, as it caused great t inconvenience to the public on dark nights.—The Chairman said, he understood, they were extin- guished as a matter of custom, as they had been put out during the months of June and July for several years. After some discussion, it was resolved to light the lamps on d&tk nights only d)\ring the month of July, and the clerk was in- atrtcted to write in order to have the meters t returned as soon as possible tor this purpose.— Majo- Hair said, as chairman of the nre brigade comtnAtee. he wished to state that they bad received tenders for the nre engine, and accepted Messrs CLayne and Co.'a for £180, and the engine would bo here in a iew days.— The Medit&l Omcer, in his report, suggested the advisability <?f the board finding some means to provide an innrtnary and mortuary within the district.—Several members expressed themselves favourable to b)th objects (infirmary aud mortu- ary), but could ?ot see how they could be had, aa the rates were skeady high.—Mr E. H. Davies said he believed t good deal might be done by voluntary contributions, if the Abersychan Board would join them in '.he scheme.—The matter then dropped.—Mr Fletdier read the finance corn. mittee's statements, and bills and salaries were ordered to be paid in the sum of j6323 83 10d.— The board approved of <ho purchase by the com- mittee appointed last bo?-d day of the fair and market toils on a lease -or three yeara, and the seal of the board was aiExtd to the document.

Kater, Nailer's lane, on June 20th. It appeared that on the day in question the complainant was engaged in unloading iron, when the defendant pulled him oS the waggon, and he fell upon some bars of iron, and hurt hia arm to such an extent that he had to be taken to the hospital. Since that time the complainant had been to Mr James, and stated „ that the whole affair was purely an accident, and that he wiahe'l in consequence to be allowed to withdraw the summons, which Mr James, believ- ing the statement, permitted. Superintendent Wheeldon now called on the case, when Mr Jamea explained how and why he had been induced to allow the summons to be withdrawn, upon which the Mayor said it was a case which should not have been withdrawn.

The constable separated the men, and deceased fell on the ground, and it wad alleged that he was bumped when on the ground. Lewis was taken home, and a medical man waa called in to him, when he was found to be suffering from fever.

PENRHIWCEIBER. A RAILWAY STATION FOB PENKHIWCEIBER.— The following petition, numerously signed, has been forwarded to the board of directors of the TaB Vale Railway :—We, the inhabitants of Penrhiwceiber, are greatly inconvenienced for the want of a railway station. The Fenrhiwceiber Navigation Coal Company, Limited, have sunk some of the largest and steam coal pits in the county of Glamor;¡¡!, and nearly twelve hundred men are emp!"ycd nf. the colliery, while the daily output of coal nearly a thousand tons. The worke are situate U<"3rIy midway between Mountain Ash and Aberd.'re Junction, which are the nearest railway stations .to the said place, and it takes fully three quarters of an hour to reach. The constant complaint of the inhabitants and the numerous visitors is the great necessity of a railway station; and such a :Wàllt is a great barrier to the the prosperity of the place. The coal (4 feet Aberdare) is equal, if not superior, in quality to any shipped in the port of Cardiff. One hundred and tifty houses are already built, and others in rapid course of erection. Several hundred additional houses will be built as soon as the mines are a little more developed. It is the sincere hope of the inhabitants and others that the attention of the directors of the TaS Vale Railway Company will be drawn to this very important public want and necessity. The place is so situate on the Aberdare branch of the TaS Vale Railway Corn. pany that it would be a very easy matter Sto erect a railway station, and the stoppage of trains would scarcely interfere with the present arrange. ment of their time tables. If the attention of the directors were only drawn to the subject, it is the universal opinion of alt who are acquainted with the public wants of the place that they would not hesitate m the immediate erection of a railway- etation.

Defendant beara a very bad character in the neighbourhood where he lives. The bench adjourned the case untit Monday week, in order that the boy's parents might be brought before them.
