This Union has been formed with the object of aiding and sup- piementing the existing public education of the eountry by creating and encouraging a taste for Art among all classes of the community so that the people may be taught to appreciate the beautiful, and thus led to encourage the production of good work3. It. Is believed that this desirable result can be hest and easiest achieved by putting within the reach of the humblest repro- ductions of the best works the grea.testa.ncient and modern paint Tj. To this CD (I the Union has made arrangements for the monthly issue of a full-sized copy of an engraving of the highest class, or a fac-simile of an oil or water-eolcur picture of celebrity reproduce 1 in the several styles of the most recent modern artistic invention, at a nominal prJee. The Union has also made arrangements for shortly issuing a monthly publication, which will contain criticisms on Art and Literature by the ablest pens, together with illustrations of works of acknowledged beauty and interest. Subscribers applying before the 1st August next, will receive, upon payment of a Guinea hi advance, monthly. Two First Proofs of every picture produced by the Union. Those making appica- tions after that date will be entitled to One Copy per month only. It is believed that a large number of cOlUltry gentlemen, clergy- men, and employers of labour generally, will gladly become Subscribers, as affording 1hem, at a trifling cost. a continuous means of embellishing local schools, hospitals, awl the homes of the neighbouring poor with enduring works of art and beauty. The first picture selected by the Union is the SHADOW OF THE CROSS," the property of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. This exquisite work of art will be issued as a fac-simile of the cele- brated engraving, the sole right of reproducing which haii been purchased by the UnIon, Other pktures of equal merit are in course of reproduction from the works of aucleilt anù modem masters. The Tenns tr) the Trade maybe had on application to the Secre- tary.

SA TURDA Y, JULY 7, 1877. IlOVV THEY MANAGE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. THE Government ill Franco manage elections, in some respects, on the same principles as those which obtain here. They use every effort to win, .and ex- ercise-all the influence they can command through the local officials. Onel great difference between their system and ours is that they do it openly, whereas we do it secretly. Marshal MACMAHON'S circular to the Prefects of France to enlighten the voters as to the merits of the Government candi- dates reads, to us, like a disagreeable document, because it smacks of an official attempt to interfere with personal liberty by the power of the reigning party. But many an English Ministry has sent out a mandate equally repulsive, if not to mayors, yet to other gentlemen in office who are not so amenable to public opinion. THE CLERICS AND TRADE UNIONS. THE parsons, accompanied by a few ladies who feel interested in trade disputes, have had another interview with the leaders of the Trades Unionists in London. The points under consideration were the settlement of differences by arbitration and conciliation and the refusal of unionists to work with non-unionists. No resolutions were sub- mitted, and the discussion was of a conversational character. Tho last-named point is one on which, we should think, the clerical could warmly sympa- thise with the lay labourer. There is, we take it, a strong feeling of trades unionism amongst those clergymen who refuse to work with any reverend brouier who does not belong to their faith who, in other words, is not in union with them and as to settling their differences by arbitration and con- ciliation, one might as well try to join tho Poles. NONCONFORMIST PEERS. THE Rev Dr PARKER, of the City Temple, believes there are no Nonconformist peers in the Upper Chamber, wlpch is said to be so thoroughly repre- sentative of all that is best in British society. The Doctor has written a letter to the Times, expressing his belief, whereupon a correspondent, in reply, hazards an opinion that Dr PAKKBR is wrong, and that there is (me Nonconformist peer-Lord TEYN- HAM—who once in a speech declared himself to be- long to the Irregulars. It would appear, too, that his lordtthip has been wont to preach in a chapel. The correspondent further argues that there are Nonconformist peers, in the persons of Roman Catholics and Presbyterians, Hut if the argument goes no further than this it does not go far, and Dr. PARKER S theory will find general evidence that Nonconformists are syste- matically excluded from the honours of the Peerage, as they are in many counties from the dignitini; ot the magisterial Bench. We observe that TEYNHAM is the ItJth B iron, and the title was conferred on the famiiy in 1CJ6. PROTECTION IN SPAIN. THERE is, surely, hope for the ultimate triumph of Free Trade when a nation so Conservative in feel- ing as the Spaniards espouse it. Few people have had so much bitter experience as they have, and yet learned so little; yet they appear to have learned that protection, in other words, scarcity and consequent liigh juices, is not a good thiu^. A proposal in tho Cortes to impose a seven suilling duty on wheat imported into Sp.iin li.w b^en defeated, and a sharp debnte is reported oil the proposed tax for coals. The telegram which conveys this informa- tion states that the Cabinet is neutral in their dis- cussions, but, considering there are several pro- tectionist clauses in the Budget," one does not ap- preciate their neutrality. THE BEETLE. THE disagreeaUc visitor from Colorado is do- scribed as "bciug an ordinary brown beetle with a striped back. The best plan of exterminating him and his female companions is to burn the field or the potatoes where he is discovered. THE DANGERS OF RAILWAY TRAVELLING. BESIDES the liability to collision, to the train leaving the metals, breaking through a bridge, or catching fire, railway travellers have other dangers to face, which, though not so common, are liable at any time to arise. The enormous loads put upon goods waggons are often very imperfectly fastened, and in the instance of heavy timbers or iron rails or rods this occasionally results in a ter- rible and utterly unforeseen accident. A case of this nature occurred on Tuesday morning at Crewe station, on the London and North-Western Rail- way. HENRY CROFT and his wife, of Eaton-green, Lancaster, were travelling to Market Harboro' in the (Scotch express. The train was passing Crewe about 6 a.m., when a loud crash was heard, and a long rod of iron which was being carried in the opposite direction by a luggage train completely decapitated Mrs Croft, and swept the greater part of the carriage away. Her husband, who was sitting next to her, escaped unhurt, and their son, who was sitting opposite, was also untouched, the iron passing over his head, and cutting the parti- tion against which he was resting into match-wood. How the railway company will meet the charge of negligence in packing, which will doubtless be brought against them, we cannot imagine. The inquiry which will be held will, may bo, have the effect, of compelling railway companies to pack their heavy goods in a safer manner. MR REED AND THE INFLEXIBLE. THE statements of Mr REED, the member for Pembroke, in the House, and in the columns of the Times, as to the stability of the Inflexible, and ships of her class, were received, at least in the House, with anything but deference to the opinion of one whose strictures on naval construction are entitled to respectful consideration. But, bearing in mind the case of the Captain, which ill-fated vessel Mr REED had condemned as being top-heavy, the Admiralty had wisely resolved, accordingto May- fair, not to scout the recommendations of the hon. member a second time, and thus risk .the loss of life and property which would be entailed by allowing the Inflexible to remain under the great disadvan- tages Mr RUED complained of. The Admiralty have (says Mayfavr) so far conceded Mr REED'S point that they have determined to strengthen tlie stability of tho Inflexible by taking her masts out when she goes into action, and by piercing the lower deck in order to stow her cables below. If this assertion be true, it would appear that the Inflexible has been sailing very near the wind when her point of stability turns upon the weight of her masLs and the position of her cables. SUNDAY CLOSING OF PUBLIC HOUSES. Now that this subject has been forced into promin- ence by the debate on the Irish Bill for closing public-houses on the Sabbath, it becomes a matter for speculation what amount of favour or obloquy such a proposal would be met with in England and Wales. The Haverfordwest local committee of the Central Association for Stopping the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday have just con- cluded a house-to-house canvass in that town for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of its house- holders on the proposed measure. It was found that amongst the licensed victuallers there were 22 for closing, 7 against, and 14 neutral—20 mak- ing no returns. The householders evinced, in a decided and unequivocal manner, their approval of the project, for 879 were in favour of closing, 48 against, and 52 neutral, only 50 making no return. If the association can possibly manage to obtain similar returns in all the towns of the kingdom, which they will accomplish in time, we shall await with much curiosity the result. JUSTICES' JUSTICE. How much a week is absolutely necessary to maintain a labourer, his wife, and four chikhvi! The magistrates assembled in petty-sessioui, ;,t Pembroke, on Saturday last, assessed the sum at five shillings and sixpence It appear.; that a farm labourer, named GEORGE HENTON, living in the famous and fertile hundred of Castlomartin, was summoned to show cause why he should not have an order made upon him for the support of his wife's illegitimate child, born before their marriage, and which child was chargeable to the commou fund of the Pembroke Union. It was shown that defendant only earned eight shillings per week, and had a wife and four legitimate children, yd the justices mado an order on the man to contribute half-a-crown out of his scanty earning towards the illegitimate child's support. How the man will be able to subsist on the remain- ing 5s Gd is a problem which, probably, did nut occur to the gentlemen who have not tried the ex- periment of ekeing out a labourer's wages. It seems to us that it is quite time that JOSEPH AnclI and his apostles paid a visit to the Arcadia of Castle- martin, where a labourer is doomed to vegetate on the munificent wages of eight shillings a weuk. GENERAL GRANT AND WORKING WEN. IN reply to a deputation of about forty of the most prominent members of the trades societies of this country who waited upon our distinguished American guest, General CHANT made a noble speech, h:ch wo are tempted to give entire. General GlUNT said :—Gentlemen, in the name of my country I thank you for the address which you have just presented to me. I fed it a great com- pliment paid to my Guvernment a former Government—and also a compliment paid to me personally. Since my arrival on British lSOa I have received great attention, and I have felt that attention has been intended iu the same way as the attention you now pay me, viz., for my country. I have received attentions and have had ovations and presentations from different clashes, from the gov- erning class and from the controlling authorities of the cities, and I have been received in all the cities by the populations, but there is no reception which 1 have received which I am prouder of than of this one to-day. I recognise the fact that what- ever there is of greatness in the United States or any other country is due to labour, and that the labourer is tho author of all greatness and wealth. Without it there would be no ruling class, and nothing to preserve. With us labour is regarded as highly respectable. We recognise that labour dishonours no man, and no matter what a man's occupation may be, he is eligible for any position within the gift of our people. His occupation is not considered in the selection of him, whether as a law-maker or as an executor of the law. Now, gentlemen, all I can do is to renew my thanks for your address, and to repeat that I have received nothing from any class since my arrival on British soil which has given me more pleasure. THE EMPLOYERS AND WORKMEN S ACT. THIS Act, which was promulgated in 1875, has been in operation now for two years nearly, and with perhaps but few exceptions has worked satis- factorily. It is not now, however, the rule to let things stand as they exist if improvements can be adopted which will provo of benefit to all parties concerned. A deputation from the Parliamcntry Committee of the Trades Unions Congress waited upon the LORD CHANCELLOR last week, and placed before him a sensible proposition, which, if carried out, will probably be productive of good to working men. The sixth rule of the Act at present provides that a defendant need give no notice of any set off or counter claim against the claim of a plaintiff. The deputation asked that this should be repealed, and that at least three days' notice should be given before the action was heard. They also iirgued that the pre- sent provision had proved a great injustice to the working men. The request is but reasonable, we think, and if the rule is done away with, a plaintiff will be able to go into court knowing the objections to be raised by the defendant, and be prepared to answer them. We were glad to notice that the lJORD CHANCELLOR thoroughly agreed with the ob- ject of the deputation, who, on his lordship's sug- gestion, agreed that two days' notice and particu- lars of a sgt-off would be adequate for the whole country. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that he would give his early consideration to the matter. It is pleasant to see the working classes so well represented. CRIME IN GLAMORGANSHIRE. "Vx imagine that the statement of Mr R. O. JONES at the quarter sessions for the county of Glamorgan, in his charge to the grand jury this week, that there was a great decrease of crimes of violence in the county, will be received with general satisfac- tion. When it is considered that there is such a large preponderance of the working classes in the county, and that in times gone by Glamorganshire has been the scene of much lawlessness and crime, the fact, as announced by Mr JUNES, speaks well of the local administration of police in the county, and of tho law-abiding nature which it may be said has been engrafted into, the minds of the people. The gravity of the charges at the present Quarter sessions is very light, and forms a con- trast to that in the calendars of previous sessions, when, as MrtToNEs said, there were nine or ten cases ill which the knife had Lecn used. The cases of unlawfully wounding, up in the Hills, where the population principally consists of per- sons working underground, and those employed in the ironworks, are diminishing rapidly in number, although some time ago they were oi rather fre- quent occurrence. The depressed state of the staple trades in the county, and the fact that so many people are thrown out of employment, ac- counts for the increase in the number of petty larcenies which have been committed during the past three months. THE INCORPORATION OF MERTHYR. THE inhabitants of Mcrthyr must be getting rather tired of waiting for the decision of the Privy Council as to whether their parish shall be incor- porated or not. There seeius to be an amount ot uncertainty about the result, in consequence of the opposition made to the incorporation of the parisii proper. The opponents do not object to the town alone receiving the dignity of a charter, but this the promoters will riot have at any prica They ——■—mm—mm* will have a whole loaf or none at alL Sofflf t¡ months have elapsed since the inquiry was hold ? Major DONBLLY, who arranged that the cumber signatures of bona fide ratepayers for and against nt"l corporation should be agreed oponby the ¡a forwarded after his departure to London. siderable delay took place afterwards, and, inde a great number of the Merthyr people do noi know whether the signatures have been remitted London or not. The last information that caro<5 W ns from official quarters was that the Council had considered the matter, and that theft had not decided whether their consent should bi given to the incorporation of the parish, or only fo the town. The time is drawing on now, and may expect to hear their lordships' decision shortly If the promoters are successful, there will be con" siderable rejoicing in Merthyr, and the inauguration of a town council will, we doubt not, be° carried out in such a manner as will surprise those people who are not acquainted with tho energy of tbe Merthyr tradespeople.
THE PROGRESS OF THE Y An.
THE PROGRESS OF THE Y An. THE hint we gave in last week's Car r Times that the war had entered upon an excitin- and import- ant stage, has been amply justified. Within tht last seven days the Russians have successful crossed the Danube with one-half of their forceS, selecting four different points for tho operation* The more important point of passage lies between Sistova andRustchuk. There the CZAR was alI eye-witness of what happened, and when all wal safe, the Prussian EMPEROR himself passed over into Bulgarian territory, where he reviewed two Russia battalions, attended Church, and showed his syn*" pathies with the Christians by kissing the cross, II a symbol of his Christianity. While it is clear that the Turks were caught napping, it is equally cleat that the passage has cost Russians and Turks many thousands of men. In one single instance Russian loss is computed at four thousand thatthetcta.) loss in Russians from gun-shot wonnds, drowning, and accidental causes C in crossing tW waters of the Danube, may be set down at 10,000. Had the Turks used even moderate vigilance, tb" destruction of human life milst have f>e >n vert great, but they neglected their military opportO' nities, and are now making hot haste to repair theit errors of strategy, and their blunder in keeping the best regiments forty and fifty miles from the scene of crossing. Troops are being hurried frotC I Schumla and Varna to those points leading to the I?;d' kan Passes, which the Russians already menace. The query naturally suggests itself, why were not these troops placed weeks ago in proper positions along the Danube, in order to contest thu passage ? Turkish strategy is a combination of mystery and muddle, and when the Turks do score a victory it arises froIJI the fatalistic daring of their troops, or the over' sight of their enemies. By Monday last the bulk of the Russian infantry had been gut across, but the stores and big guns were then wanting. Had I the Turks swept down in force upon the half-de' fenceless Russians, they might have effected a great victory, but their listlessness, carelessness, and, as some Constantinople critics have it, treachery, prevented any use being made of a great military opportunity. Except at Rustchuk and Nicopolis, the Russians have been able to carry matters pretty much as they like, and AnDuL lÜmDf, the Turkish Commander-in-Chief, has his way, the first series of great battles will bØ ¡ fought under the famous quadiiateral—Rustchuk* Silistria, Varna, and Schumla. The SULTAN is evidently alarmed at his commanders' supinenes#, and RBDIF PACHA, thj War Minister, has gone to the Turkish head-quarters. Rkoie PA.SH-1) although the best hated man in Turkey—and Bot undeservedly so—is credited with the possession of much strategical skill and great energy for a T and coming straight from Constantinople, is i .ki-iy to infuse the necessary vigour into the Turkish military leaders in Bulgaria. While the Turks and Russians keep up an artillery duel all along western Bulgaria, the important look-outs for the new*" pnper reader are Central Bulgaria and the Dobrud- sella. Although no serious fighting has taken place in either district, it is known that forty thousand Russians are steadily marching to the open con ■" try between the fortress of Silistria and the Bta^ Set port of Kusten'lje. With reasonable care, skill, and perseverance, the Russians marching ÍJl this district s>hou!d be effectually dealt with, bllt the curse of the Turks—f-upineucss—upsets all calculations. Between Sistova and the Balka.11 mountains, the country is comparatively open, and the R ussL-uis, if they mass their forces, may make I a desperate tight of it, but they are endangered by liank movements from Schuml.i, and, indirectly* iroiu Sophia. There are, in all, twenty-one pass*1* through tiie Balkan chain ot mountains, only of which are available for the march of trooi*. The I Russians, however, if they once get a foothold* will surmount, such difficulties, although Coiond JAMES BAKER, now in the Turkish service, believe the Balkan passes can be held by a few thousand brave Turks, judiciously posted. if the Turkic troops were handled hy English ofhcers-aided, tyiey are, by the most splendid natural defences jJ) the world, the Russiaus wouid likely be baffled- The Turks are a military law unto themselves, and will go on in their own blundering way. If suC- cessful, even for a time, the result will be due more to natural advantages and chance than to forethought, skill, and ability. The CtAR ]181 issued a proclamation, which shows significantly that he means to make Bulgaria a Russian pv°' vince. The result of this intention has been th* sending of the British fleet toBesika Boy, at the mouth of the Dardanelles. From their preset anchorage the ships could easity be called up to defence of Constantinople. This is ominous for England drifting into the war. It may, further lead to an Austrian occupation of Bosnia and Ser- via for it is now clear that the Russians feel they want all the aid they can get., and arc understood to be arranging for auxiliary help from RoumanJ* and Greece, and possibly from Servia. The Via! in Europe has, therefore, a calamitous look ahead, so far as the peace of the world is concerned. 111 Asia Minor the case is dilferont. The Turks there seem to be gradually achieving success A startling despatch was published on Tued*/ forenoon by the London Daily TeUjraph, from itS correspondent at Erzeroum, representing a prac- tical abandonment, for the present, of the caJJ1 paign in Asia Minor on the part of the Grand Duke MICHAEL, the Russian Commander of what is known in Russian circles as the Army of the Caucasus. Tho Tikgrajih's despatch was to thØ eftect that the Russians were retreating all adoflf? their line—tliat they had abandoned the SoghanJi Dagh.—and that the siege of Kars had be6Jl raised after the Russians had sustained terrible losses in an attack upon fort Tazmaz, one of th. defensive forts of Kars. If such turn out to b8 the exact military situation, the Turks in Aiineotej are the luckiest fellows imaginable. The ment has since been partially confirmed froØJ variety of sources—notably by tLe Times. the CZAR'S troops crossed into Turk}**1 territory in Armenia, on the 25th of April last, all the military critic** spoke of the campaign as likely to be short, sliarp I and decisive. What the Turks failed in achieving I by their strategy, numbers, or energy, has beøØ largely effected for them by the divine comedy of events." In the first place, the Russians erred iø grasping at everything. They made a dash at Batouni, Ardahan, and Bayazid, as well as at every hamlet and mountain road leading to Kaf* and Erzeroum. Fur the first few weeks the" treated the native Mahommedans welL .6u' the Circassian revolt and the thousands of wild and armed Kurdish horsemen excited thedJ into acts of barbarity. Part of the atTOV meant for the investment of Kars and the capture of defenceless Erzeroum had to b6 sent into the Caucasus, and, as the rising, whick began at Soukhum Kaleh, was understood to spread, additional troops became necessary. The taking of Bayazid lessened the aggressive forceIJ, and the same remark applies to Ardahan. But masses of Kurdish horsemen harass the iines of communication, provisions are M*u'ce, and 'Vf6 should not be surprised if HId Tehgraph's informa- tion is genuine, to find that the Russians 8Z6 retreating because unable to get continuouf supplies of food, and equally unablø to fi^ht on empty stomachs. Whatever be the exact military situation of the Russian bat- talions, there can be no doubt they have been short of provisions of late, and tills state of things, p10- longed in the absence of numerous reinforcements* 1 makes success ail but impossible. Whether the siege of Kars be actually raised or not, the Turks h»^0 Ueon victorious at nearly all points of late in Minor. They have re-taken the town of Bav*z1^ forced the Russians to abandon the kc\_
