Taking into consideration the increase in the population, he thought that if they went into the matter they would find that after allotting spaoe for burial purposes, suffioient to meet the requirements of the next twenty years, they would have eight or ten acres available for some other purpose, and the purpose he proposed was recreation. This could be done at little coøt, as the drairage could be made suitable for burial purposes, and when the land Wall required, but few alterations would be neoessary. Mr. Stone seconded tbe motion, observing that a recreation ground was certainly required iu Cardiff. Alderman Bowen suggested that the matter should be allowed to stand over, as iklr. Williams had been inetruoted to prepare a plan of the land. He thought there was something in what Mr. Davies had said, althdueh he did object to a recreation ground next to a cemetery. That, however, would be a question for the corporation to consider. Mr. Treseder supported the motion, and Alderman Evans said he thought it would not be worth while devoting the land to recreation purposes for the short time for whioh it could be spared. Ultimately it was proposed by Mr. Armstrong, seconded by Mr. Lewis, and resolved that the matter should be referred to the cemetery oommittee. MEDICAL OFFICER S BEPORT. Dr. Paine, the medical officer of health, reported that the total deaths registered in the Cardiff urban canitary district during the month of February were 119; of these 67 were males and 52 females. Ihe death rate has been 19'5 per 1,000 inhabitants, as against 27 per 1,000—the average death rate during the same period of the 22 typical large towns enumerated by the Registrar General. The death rate from the seven chief zymotic diseases was 0*9 per 1,000, that of the large towns being 2*7 per 1,000 inhabi. tants. APPOINTMENT OF COLLECTOR FOR ST. JOHN'S PABISH. The council then sat as a oommittee to appoint a collector of rates for the parish of St. John. The voting resulted in the election of Mr. Thomas John, of Lower Cathedral.road, Cardiff, at a salary of J6110 per annum, and it was resolved that security to the extent of .£500 should be given through the Guarantee Society, the premium to be paid by the corporation. This concluded the business of the counoil.

CARDIFF BOARD OF GUAR- DIANS. The weekly meeting of the board was held at the workhouse on Saturday, the chairman, Mr. C. W. David, presiding. In consequence of the report made last week by the medical offioer as to the overcrowded state of the hospital wards, the visiting committee had made an investigation of the matter, and, taking into consideration Dr. Sheen's statement, they recommended that the refuge be temporarily used for infirm and other suitable oases, at the dis- cretion of the medical officer, so as to relieve the pressure. In connection with this matter the Clerk read the correspondence with the Local Government Board which had oc- curred at intervals since February, 1*76, in whioh the use of the refuge for the accommodation of sick persons was condemned. Mr. Lewis, upon whose motion the correspondence was read, main- tained that it was only the wooden portion of the building that was objected to by the Local Government Board, and that nothing oould be plainer than that they were empowered to use the refuge, at least as a temporary arrangement, and subject to the systematic visits of the medical offioer. Mr. Lewis also combated the suggestion that the house was overcrowded, as they had accommodation for 382 inmates, and the average number was scarcely ever above 260, or 270, which left a large margin. The Clerk reminded Mr. Lewis that the number he referred to, namely. 382 beds, was the total aooommoda. tion of the house, including the hospital wards, ard 23 beds in the refuge. The Chairman pointed out that though they had this week 32 oases in the house in excess of the authorised number., they were not exactly breaking the law, as they had converted the chapel-room into a dormi- tory, which gave them 40 extra beds. In the course of a discussion it was questioned whether the board would not con- travene the prohibition of the Local Government Board if they used the refuge for the accommoda- tion of the infirm persons, it being doubtful whether they would come under the head of "sick" persons. Dr. Lewis took it that the wooden portion of the workhouse was not con- demned for ordinary use, and he held that it gave better dwelling accommodation than many of the private habitations of the poor. He believed the board would be fully justified in placing a certain number of persons there. The Chairman ex. pressed an opinion that if the pressure were so great in the hospital they had better make nee of the refuge, and let the Local Government Board know that they did so by force of circam- stances. Dr. Sheer said the board must take the eole responsibility of placing infirm persons there, as it was impossible to say whether such persons were technically regarded as "siok" by the 1..000\1 Government Board. In fact, the board must take the entire responsibility of using any portion of the refuge, and he should not send anyone there without their full authority. It was ultimately resolved, upon the motion of Dr. Paine, seconded by Mr. Plain, that the report of the oommittee be adopted and forwarded, with the report of the medical officer as to the state of the hospital, to the Local Government Board.—Mr. Bees Enoch moved the adoption of the following resolution:— That the outdoor paupers who receive relief in kmd be allowed to take their orders to two or more shops, of both grocers and butchers, in each of the four town parishes, and that the said shops be recommended by the guardians of each parish respectively, and approved by the board." He explained that his object was to do away with a pernioious "truck" system, and he contended that an. order for 2s. 3d. at a free shop was worth more to the reoipient than a half- crown order on a "tied shop. The Rev. Mr. Saulez seconded the motion, but upon the sugges. tion of Mr. Llewellyn, the matter was referred for the consideration of the visiting committee.—Mr. Jacobs moved the adoption of a retlolutionto the following effectThat this board views with favour the work done by friendly sooieties in encouraging habits of thrift and provision among the working classes, and being desirous of removing every obstacle tending to limit their soope, or to mar their efficiency, hereby agrees to petition both Bouses of Parliament in favour of Mr. Mellor's Bill for amending the Poor Law Amendment Aot. of 1876." He went on to say that he confidently submitted the resolution for their consideration from his knowledge that the chairman, and several other members of the board, had evinced considerable regard for friendly sooieties, and took a warm interest in their prosperity. The first Act for the regulation of friendly societies was paseed in 1793, and from that time to 1876 the societies dealt with the funds of members as they thought wise. The Act of 1876 authorised the payment to the guardians by the trustee, or other person in control of the payment, the oost incurred in the relief of a pauper or proper lucatio entitled to an annual or periodi- oal payment, and provided that where the guardians incurred any expense in the relief of a pauper who was a member of a benefit or friendly society, they oould recover from him, aa a debt, or from ma administrators or assigns in the case of his oeath, the amount expended. But it was stipu- iated that this clause should not have effect until the relief had been declared to be given on loan. By Mr. Mellor's Bill, it was simply sought to eiiaot that when a member of a friendly society has become a pauper lunatic his » or other relative dependent upon nun for maintenance, shall be entitled to receive the friendly society's allowance; eingle men, or men with no dependent relative remaining as before, *Jeir sick allowance being paid to the guardians, hi*^ ?^ool38 thought the board must agree with as the principle was euch an equitable one itself to every impartial man. amoto'fv feeling had been manifested members of friendly aooietiea +t>«v WPleeent unjust state of the law, and Moor's BintetTQted petitions in favour of Mr. ^it Tioard VS6 believed that the Local Govern- S u and it ani BO Bi*en in its adhesion to the iH' n dntv tQ him to ba the peouliarly £ tv ft b £ atda Buch aa theirV, whose painful tt-nrJt?8 to oome into such direct contact w to take cognizance and to seek to aimi^BKSV-ery movement having a tendency t mS It was a sorrow- ful fact tha of the pauperism they witnessed was Jh„ improvident habits and negligence of men ^^ho could have made pro- vision for themselves through the medium of friendly societies* fore thought it was scarcely possible too • devalue of such societies as an educational medium^through whioh tbe working man was t & reliant and thrifty.

(Applause.) Mr. JacolM added that he had that morning received commnnl- cations from the district secretaries of the Foresters and Philanthropic Friendly Societies, in which they expressed a hope that the guardians would unanimously adopt the reeclu«c<n. Mr. Llewellyn seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Stone and Mr. Boulanger. and the Chairman having remarked that to long as he bad presided at the board they had carried out the principle of Mr. Mellor's Bill in that union, it was carried unanimously.—On the motion of Mr. Davies, seconded by Mr. Plain, it wae resolved to close the stone yard, as only I four men remained at .work, and three of them were leaving next week. — The returns (showed 23 admissions, 23 discharges, three ) births, and three deaths at the workhouse during t he week, leavirg a total of 414 inmates, being a decease of 28 upon last year.

CARDIFF Ii ll,li;.M LIBRARY. THE SCIENCE AND ARf PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. LETTER FROM THE DEAN OF LLANDaFF. The 'monthly meeting of the Cardiff Free Library Committee waa held on Tuesday night, tbe Mayor presiding. An inoorreot report of the circumstances under which Mr. Storrie resigned the curatorship of the museum having appeared in print, it was resolved that a oopy of the minute on the subject be sent to the looal news- papers and the Printer's Qazette. It was reported that Mr. Cochrane had suooeeded Mr. Storrie. In coBBequence of a communication from the Science and Art Department, it was resolved that speoial visitors to the local science and art olasses should be appointed each month.—The salary of the assistant librarian was advanced from t6a. to .£1 per week.—The Mayor stated that he had been asked to distribute the science and art prizes, but not feeling equal to the task, he had invited the new Dean of Llandaff, whose attainments and worth he warmly eulogized, to give the prizes away, and received the following reply :—" The Temple, E.O. My dear Mr. Mayor,—I deeply feel your kindness, in weleom. ing me, a stranger, to your diocese and your borough. I would muoh like to make one of my first visits to Cardiff on the oooasiom whioh yon bo kindly name. I cannot, consistently with previous engagements oome into my first residence in Llatdaff till July. You can bast judge whether so late a date would suit the anni- versary to which yon invite me. If it would. I should gladly say yes to your proposal. With every respectful thought, and in the earnest hope that your kindness may be the beginning of mnch pleasant and useful intercourse ia the future, I beg to remain youra very sincerely, C. J. Vacuhan." It W8¡jll felt that this date would be too late for the distribution, and the committee decided to respeotfally desire Dr. Vaughar. to continue his offer for next year, the mayor, on the proposition of the Rev. W. E. Winks, being requested to preside at the annual distribution of prizes this year.—It waa agreed that the reprinting of the oatalogue should be reo ferred to the book oommittee.—This waa all the public bnsiness.

SWANSEA HARBOUR TRUST. The monthly meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trustees was held on Monday, when there were present:—Mr. F. A. Yeo (chairman), Messrs. E. M. Biohards, F. Price, J. Rogers (mayor), J. Clarke Richardson, T. Davies. J. Jones Jenkina, C. Bath, W. H. Francis, and G. B. Strick. Mr. T. Davies moved "That the minutes of the finance committee be received and adopted, and that the common seal of the trust be affixed to mortgages for .£2,410 to replaoo debentures paid of, and jEl.080 on account of new works." The revenue of the harbour trust, he said, was keeping up well, notwithstanding the various drawbacks of the past winter, and he understood that there was also sufficient mor.ey put away every month to n eet the demands of debentures falling dne. Yet one would expect that with such a large revenue, such as the trustees possessed, there might possibly be a larger surplus. There was a smill surplus on the last month on the general harbour estate, and as usual, a deficit on the working of the South Dock, but he understood that the South Dock gates, whioh were repaired in February, had cost .£1,100. Then there was a question relative to the large amount paid monthly for dredging, and he had been told by those who understood the matter that a great deal of this expenditure was caused by the silt from Fabian's Bay. If a wall or embankment conld be at onoe oomraenced it would increase the scouring power of the river to clear away the silt to a great extent. Whatever depth of water they had obtained at the entrance to the docks, it was epoiled by the continual siltii-g going on in the channel, but if the ohannel were made Barrower it would inorease the acour- ii g power of the river, and, in his opinion, and in the opinion of those who knew better than he did, this would keep the depth of water which had already been obtained. Much as he disapproved of the embankment, he would rather have it oom- menced at once than see the harbour silted up. There was a deficit of JC800 oooaaioned by the reduction of the rates, but he waa confident that this was only temporary. When the reduction had become better known he had no doubt that instead of a deficit in this respect there would be a surplus. Vessels would oome to Swansea now which would not come if the old rates were in force. It was an experiment, and aa an experiment the trustees were feeling that they 1 ?t by it. He hoped that the members of the trust would, if they intended to have a dock on the other side of the river, take steps at onee to commence the embankment, in order to benefit the trade of the port generally by keeping a sufficient depth of water. It would save the interest on the money borrowed, and the cost would be more than paid by the decrease which would take place in dredging. Mr. C. PATH seconded the motion, and the minutes were then adopted. The report of the executive committee was read, showing that the agreement with Mr. Dickson had been completed, and he commenced his con- tract on the 1st of March. A letter had been received from the town-clerk in reference to the toll bridge. The committee had considered the Briton Ferry and Swansea Tramways Bill, and had consented to it provided certain clauses were inserted to protect the interests of the trustees, but it appeared that the new clauses were too late for insertion in the Bill, and that portion of it which referred to the connection of the tramway with the railway of the trustees was struok out. The Chairman said it was satisfactory to know that the agreement with Mr. Diokson in referenoe to the ballast contract had been completed. With regard to the toll-bridge the trust oould do nothing but meet a committee of the corporation upon tbe matter, but he doubted whether any satisfactory arrangement could be come to. The trustees were not justified in making auy great sacrifice at present, but if the corporation oould suggest any means by whioh the toll oould be re- moved without a great loss to the trust he thought something might be done in the matter. The trustees were not in a position to throw away £ 3,000 or .84,000 a year. He explained that the olauses which the oommittee proposed should be inserted in the Briton Ferry and Swansea Tram. ways Bill were sent too late, but it waa the fault of the promoters, who delayed the question until the last day. The portion which referred to the jnnction between the tramway aad the harbour trust railway now stood over for'another year. He moved that the report be adopted. Mr. fcTRiCK seconded. The Mayob wished to know whether the in- terest of the trust was sufficiently protected aa regarded the ground to be mace by Mr. Diokson. The trust was to pay him .81,800 for the construc- tion of a sea-wall to protect the ground. A ilea wall could be made for .81,800. but the question was how long would it last ? If the trust had to keep it in repair it might oost them i £ L,800 every year. If they did not get an absolute release as far as the wall was ooncerned, it was a bad barpain. and he did not think the truat would be justified in finally completing the agreement. Mr. JAMES (clerk) stated that the agreement had been finally concluded with Mr. Dickson. The ChaikjIan said he did not like to stop the Major, but he hardly thought the question brought forward by him could be discussed. It was decided last month that the contraofc should be completed. lhe May ok said that he did not like that the trustees should enter into an agreement with Mr. Dickson which would end in a disappointment, unless they were protected by having a certain vefo over the wall which Mr. Dickson would build. Mr. J. JONES Jenkins said the wall would have to be built to the satisfaction of the engineer to the trust. The CHAIRMAN remarked that no one but Mr. Dickson himself oould be more desirous of ereot- ing a good wall. Mr. E. M. Eichards said he hoped that the remarks of the mayor would not lead the pnblio to believe that the trustees were entering into any new obligation with Mr. Diokson. The obli- gation which they had now discharged; had been imposed upon them under a statute aeven years ago. The Mator said his remarks would not be taken in that way. The minutes cf the executive committee were then adopted without further discussion, The Chairman announced that the telegraphic station at the Mumbles Head would be opened on the 15th of this month, and would be oalled the Swansea Bay Station. This concluded the business.

The minntee «. tho, re >ouo mooting wera r«a'1 and accepted, after which the Superintendent read his forthightly report, recommending that Polica- coiibtabie fooze be raised from the 2iia. oi, oU*s to the 28s. olass. This was adopted. A. letter was read by the Mayor, from Police-conetablo lioodeiich, asking that his case be reconsidered He had been fined 111. by the superintendent for bf'ing in a ijnblic-bouse when on duty, and re. fusing to give the reason for being there. He now said he waa looking for a, man named Mountain. The letter was referred to the Mayor, who ia to act as be thinks advisable. lhe Board of Trade tutdaent a pattern of a. stamp WLloh bad bten prepared for AKigina aud meat-urea. Each borough or district will have its ",m'p". The stamp is now to be ordered for thia boroach. A queauou was raised as to summoning a milk seller. Dr. Davies Baid it was a vital question of health to get pure milk. The oounoil ought n')t to hesitate w here there was the slightest adultera- tion. An order was made to prosecute. FINANCK COMMITTBS. Mr. B. Evans presented a report to the effeot that arrangements be made with the National Provincial Bank of England to overdraw such amounts as may be agreed upon. This waa ntoeeBary, because Mr. S. Vernon is still the treasnrer. He moved that Buch an arrangement be made. Mr. H. R. Evans seconded the motion. It was stated that Mr. Vernon held offioe itS treasnrer ont of compliment. The motion was carried. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTBB. The Mator, in presenting the report made by tbis oommittee. explained that negotiations with Mr. Cartwright were pending aa to the purchase of land in Pentcnville for making a good road there parallel with the new atation. That the owner of the property occupied by Mr. Compton declined to part with any of his land for the par- pose of improving the entrance to the footbridge. With respect to the proposed new road from Tredegar place, Lord Tredegar had promised his assistance, and the surveyor is preparing a plan to be laid before the company. This report waa adopted. WATTB SUPPLY. The Maycb laid before-the oounoil a report drawn up by the committee on the water supply. The committee had taken counsel's opinion aa to the position of the oorpoiation, and its legal powers for enforcing a supply of pure water. Mr. Cyrus Wills, the gentleman consulted, had advised that tbe council had no power to deal with the ques- tion under the Publio Health Act, but as con- sumers they were in a different position. The council were consumers at the publio slaughter- houses, Town-hall, and police-stations, and by paying the water.rate in advanoe they would be able to take legal prooeedinga to compel the com. panv to supply pure water. The committee therefore recommended that the neoessary steps be taken to place the council in a position to take legal proceedings. His Worship moved the adop- tion of this part of the report. He hoped that when the company saw what the council had determined to do, steps would be taken to supply pure water. The opinion was deoidedly in favour of the counoil, and they had nothing to fear in prosecnting the company. The penalty waa JilO ai d 40s. a day. Mr. Hobkins seconded the motion, whioh was carried unanimously. The MAYOR moved the adoption of the second part of the report, to the effeot that the Loeal Government Boturd be informed of the atepa now being taken. Mr. Wyndhaii Jones Beoonded the motion, and it was carried. ckmetery combsitteb. This committee reported as te the drainage of the new ground, and also the planting round it a belt of trees and shrubs for sanitary purposes. The ocet was estimated at about J6700. With regard to heating the Dissenters' Chapel, the oommittee said they oould not recommend euoh an outlay, as one chapel would have to be heated as well 4s another. There is a room in the lodge where ministers can wait, and a fire is to be kept for their convenience. The report was adopted, and inquiries to be made as to borrowing .£80@- for oompleting the work. This was all the business.

GOSSIP IN THE "WORLD." The evening before the departure for Ireland, the Empress of Austria honoured the Indus- triellen Ball"—the entertainment par aeceHenceof the big fina-noiere-with her presence. The wives of three of the richest Jew bankers in Vienna were patronesses of the ball. These were the Frau Wiener von Welton, the Baronin Kcenigs- warter, and the Baronin Rothschild, who, by-the- bye. wore .S160.000 worth of diamonds on that occasion. These three ladies were presented f r the first time to 'their empress; and it waa amusing to see how the Frau von Welten gesti- culated with unnecessary animation, and how the baronin Koeaigswarter aatdownaa soon aa presented, from sheer nervonsnees. She, however, rccollected herself, and jumped up again at once. Only the Baronin Rothschild exhibited self- poteession aud grace whilst conversing with the empiepa, The net profits divided by the eight partners in 13a,s and Co.'a brewery last year amounted to .£420,000. Colonel Reilly, who has just gone out to South Africa in oommaBd of the artillery, has been en- oouraged hy Bromhead's success, to sat at defiance the Queen'a regulations, which prescribe that appointments on tbe staff are to be limited to (ffioers who have passed through too Staff College.. When Reilly went down to the Horse Guards, on his appointment, he was oalled upon to choose his brigade-major, and a list was put into his hand of officers eligible for the appoint- ment. He coolly answered, after reading it, I will not have any one of them. and I mean to take Poole, one of our own adjutants, whom I can depend upon in oaee of emergenoy." The authoritiea UJgAd that, whatever might be the merite of Captain Poole, he had not qualified himself by examination at the Staff College in tactios and language. But Colonel Reilly was firm, and delared that, unless they could find him a qualified offioer who oould speak ZaIu, it was quite useless to talk about languages being any qualification. And as to tactics, he said, The Zulus do not play at Krieg-spiel, and warfare in the bush is not conducted on the Prll!!eiau-. system. I will have a brigade-major whose plook" and presence of mind are known to me." He eventually oarried his point, and Captain Poole has gone with him in spite of the regulations. The salvation of Borke's Drift by a lieutenant who had been plucked by the Board of Examiners threatens to make a revolution in the system of Dilitary appointments. Theodore Barrilre'a Fauæ Bono Hommes, per- haps the best comedy of this oentury, hae jaat been revived with considerable suocess at the Paris Vaudeville. When it was first produced, Alexandre Dumas fils was still at the bottom of the ladder, and he did not want to see anyone else climb it before him. So it was reported, that on the first night he had left the orohestra-stalls in the middle of the third act, saying aloud, I was quite willing to wait on the corpse up to the church but I oannot afford to go to the banal ground." The alleged mot went round the papers, when Dumas fils wrote to B*rri6re as follows :— "My dear BarrSere,—You have seen probably what I am reported to have said on the first night of your comedy. If it is untrue, I deny the re- port. If it is true, I am ashamed of it.—Youra truly, A.D." What haa become of the pale horse" on whioh Mr. Lowe was wont to disport himself P la it dead of old age, or cid its pernicious habit of sbying at last grow too much for the veteran statesman? Whatever may have happened to it it is disestablished and Mr. Lowe was seen in the Row mounted on a brown ponv, so small that his feet nearly touched the ground. The few days at Sandown Park last week were emphatically good for what may be oalled the "lardy dardy" members of the olub. The weather was delightful, allowing tha Hon. Jim and the Hon. Jemima to wander at their will through the paddock, and lunch unabashed in the marquee. The Hon. Jim did not lay aside his ABtraohan lined coat it is true, but the Hon. Jemima showed as mach black ailk stocking as was compatible with virtue, and waa very. nice. On the business aide of the stand, thinga wore a different aspeot, and the face of a gallant captain was a troubled one when Advanoe belied his name in the Saudowu Grand Prize. Bat the captain had recovered himself on the following Friday, when, seated by the aide of a blonde beauty, who reminded the elder generation of a line which aays mater pulchra jIlia pulchmor, he took the goodB the gods provided him, and lovely Thais made amends, I hope, for Advanoe.

REJOICINGS AT ST. FAGAN'S. St. Fagan's was in a state of pleasurable ex- citement on Monday afternoon, when Mr. R. S or rest, Lord Windsor's popular agent, and his bride, returned home from their wedding tour. When the carriage which conveyed the happy pair from Cardiff arrived near the village it was mat by a large number of Mr. Forrest's well-wishers, who desired to take out he horses. This, how- ever, was not allowed, and the crowd had to oon- tent themselves with cheering Mr. aud Mrs. Foirest, and escorting them to the Greenwood. The church bells were rung and cannons Sred and the St. Fagan's. Castle brass band played, selec- tions of appropriate music.
