THE BAPTIST""COTlE^Ej PONTY- POOL The Baptist College at Pontypool has had a successful career. Founded seventy-two years a"o for the lIunnse of furnishing men of abdity and piety—chiefly from the Baptist churches of the Principality—with suitable education for the work of the Christian ministry, the College has educated no less than three hundred and twenty ministers. Among these there occur the names" of Dr Thomas, of Cardiff, Dr Todd, of London, Dr Price (Aberdare), Dr Koberts (Ponty- pridd), the Rev A. J. Parr V (Swansea), Dr Fre- derick Evans, Professor Edwardes (Haverford- west), Rev Benjamin Evans (Neath), Dr Rhys Morgan (Lhtnelly), Dr Pritchard, and Dr William Morgan. Takiug eveiythiog into consideration, and VMAine the srood the institution has been the means of bringing about since 18^7, the Baptists of the Principality have very substantial reasons for congratulating themselves. They have sup- ported the College, they have given liberally, and they have had—and are now having— their re- ward. For the first 3D years ofitsexistaucethe College was at Abergavenny. From thence it was removed to Pontypool, and no change beyond the erection of additional acco nmodation has since been made. At the time of the jubilee festival, in 183G, a special appeal was made to the friends of the institution. There were then 16 students in residence, and it was felt that the dormitories were not sufficiently numerous, that a proper lecture-room should be provilad, and that tlie rapid spread of English literature and ideas in the Principality demanded a higher standard of ministerial education. The Baptists at once c me forward, and to meet the necessity which then existed for the enlargement of the building, for the augmentation of the pecuniary resources of the society, and with the object of increasing the number of students, and extending the course of study, subscribed somewhere about £2,000, A new wing was added to the College building, and the other objects, as far as possible, carried out. Under the presidency of Dr Thomas Thomas, the institution coutiuued to flourish at Pontypool. For more than forty years he gui ded the studies of the young men who came there, many of whom are now labouring zealously and successfully in far distant lands. Two years ago Dr Thomas resigned, and the college has now for its presi- dent the Rev William Mortimer L)wis, who was for six years classical tutor, and who now seems quite at home at the head of affairs. In the winter of 1877, a special appeal was made, in consequence of the report of the treasurer that there was a debt of over £ 350 on the current account. It was pointed out that w'th the spread of education, the increase of churches, and the growth of superstition and modern forms of unbelief, the necessity of a well-educated ministry will be more deeply felt in the future than even in the past." Again the friends of the College came forward, this time subscribing JE450. The com- mittee resolved to admit 12 additional students ou the foundation and now there are 2J in residence, as many as can be conveniently accommodated, and five out-door students, besides a large number of applicants waiting for admission, to mall." of whom waiting is a very serious matter. The College curriculum embraces a great variety of subjects. Young men are trained in mathematics, classics, and science, up to the second B.A. degree at London University, with which the in- stitution is affiliated. Admission to the College is governed by a number of rules, which seem to work very well. Every candidate must be re- commended by she church to which he belongs, by the minister; of the church, and also by two neighbouring ministers who have heard him preach more th in once. Thus recommended, a candidate has to go before the nouse committee, that body reporting to the central committer before he can be admitted even oil proba ion and the term of probation lasts for six months, at the end of which the committee consider the report made on his conduct and capabilities by the tutors before deciding whether or not he shall remain in the Academy. There is a large and influential committee of management, the College is now prospering, and there is every sign tnat it will continue to do so for many years to come,

THE GLAMORGAN INFANTRY MILITIA. The first contingent of this regiment, amount- ing to nearly 200 recruits, assembled on Satur- day, at Cardiff, for 77 days' drill. The camp has been formed on the field usually occupied by the militia, near the Militia Stores, on t ie Maindv road, and the whole of the regiment will be placed under C:1uvas. Tents were erected on Friday, and the remainder will be fixed prior to the 12th of July, when the "old soldiers" will assemble. The total strength of the regiment on the muster roll 1;" over 800 men, but it is not expected that more than 750 will appear for duty. Til9 camp has been fitted up as usual with read- i:'<C-room, canteen, &o.. the officers' quarters bein~ fitted up at the north end of the field. The com- mand wa* taken on Saturday by Captain and Ad- jutant Hanley, assisted by Capt. (J- atkiu, Lieut. Calland, and Quarter-master W. D. Wiltshire. Owing to the expense co:mecte,1 witl. the Afghan and Zulu wars, the training of the old soldiers" forming the militia has been reduced from 28 to 21 days.

PIRACY UPON A CARDIFF BARQUE. The following advices have been "received at Lloyd's from llong Kong, dated April 12th, in reference to a vessel which frequently visits Car- diff :—"Elizabeth Childs, British barque. Cap- tain Lindbergh, of Cardiff, left Hong Kong March 29, with a general cargo for No wchvvan^. On the evening of the followipg day, when about ten miles fro:o Mendoza Island, she was boarded from a junk by about forty men, all carrying firearms, who drove the crew forward, and plundered the vessel of all the portable valuables they could find. The approach of a steamer alarmed the pirates, who then quitted the ship with their booty. Before the barque v as boarded, stinkpots were thrown on her decks from the junk, and rifles and revolvers discharged at her, but no one was seriously injured. The leader of the gang was euspected to be a European. Owing to the ship's chronometer as well as the side lights having been taken awav, she had to aban- don the voyage and put_ back to Hong Kong, where she arrived on April 1. The master states that he does not know whether any or what cargo had been abstracted, but that the total value of the articles which he knows to have been taken is about £500, Her Majesty's ship Moorhen left on April 7 in search of the pirates, but returned on the following day without success.

CARDIFF CHAMBER OF COM- MEHCK. THE WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA. The monthly meeting of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce was held There were present—Messrs J. H. VViison (President of the Chamber in the chair), H. Vellacott, John Thomas, J. O. Lewis, C. M. Jacobs, Jonas Wat- son, Louis Tylor, E. Lregeon C. W Ingram J n. Ferrier, T. A. Richards, George bayce, and W L. Hawkins (secretary). The PRESIDENT (Mr Wilson) called attention^to the present war between Peru and Chili. The first result of that war, he said, had been a very serious loss to British shipowners in the destruc- tion by the Chilian fleet of the whole of the ship- pin" places belonging to the other State. ihere were many shipowners here largely eugaged in trade to those ports, and they had suffered great loss by detention of vessels. On the did or this month a large deputation of shipowners called upon the Under-Secretary of State for Fore:gn Affairs to lay the matter before him. In conse- quence of this action and the action of the other shipping associations, the Government made some enquiries into the matter, and asked onr represen- tative at Cniii to require that telegraphic commu- Inicatiol1 should be restored, and that for commer- ciitl purposes there should be unre- stricted communication. AVith regard to the shipping places, the Bolivian Govern- ment were, of course, anxious to restore them, and in case that is done our Government would not interfere any further. It seemed to the speaker, however, that that was no reason why the matter should drop quietly. The Chilian Government might find it to their interest to stop the shipments of goods at Peruvian portSj aud he thought it necessary for therll to press upon, the Government the expediency of talcing such action as they might deem desirable. The Italian Govern- ment had had the matter before them, a-id had advised the Chilian Government to accept inter- national mediation. Germany was also in favcur of a mediation scheme. If the G-ovenimenfc could only be bronhgt to some action of a friendly character some good might be done. He concluded by prooosing I hat this Chamber communicate (bv letter) to the Foreign Secretary, urging upon the Government that piouipt action betaken, either singly orin conjunction v. it:\other Powers.for the protection of British tnyle, during the present war between Chiliad the k ta.es of Pem and Bolivia." Mr Jonas Watson seconaai the motion, and after it had been unanimously carried, the meeting dispersed.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PAUPER CHILDREN. [BY OUR NEWPORT KEPKESENTATIVE.L An important discussion, involving important principles, took place at the meeting of the New- port Board of Guardians, on Saturday. By a majority of two it was decided that the pauper children of Roman Catholic parents or protectors shall not be removed from the care and control of the Guardians of the Union. For some time past the matter has been unden consideration, and a sub-committee had been appointed to investigate the matter, and to report thereon. From a record of the proceedings, it would seem that great differences of opinion existed among the members of the committee. On the presentation of the report, only a month since, it was discussed very fully. A vote was taken, and then the report of the committee recommending that the children of Roman Catholics should not be handed over to the care and control of any irresponsible persons connected with the Catholic body, was adopted by a majority of one. This did not satisfy the non-contents, who contended that the vote taken was upon a side issue, and hence notice of motion was given in accordance with the standing orders of the Board, in order that a further opportunity might be given to again discuss, and finally to settle the question. As will be seen from a report in another column, there was a majority of two in favour of the recommendation of the committee. There are different standooints from which to view the matter. Some there are who regard it in a religions light others, seeking to eliminate the religious element together, contend that it is a question of cost entirely whilst another section contend that neither religion or expenditure ought to deter the guardians from fully carrying out their duty towards pauper children.inespective of denomination or nationality. At Caerleon there has been erected an institution known as the In- dustrial School. There pauper children belonging to the Newport Union are sent, after attaining a certain age, to be educated and trained in the or- dinary everyday duties of life. There is only sufficient accommodation for about 120 children, although for several years past the average number is in excess of that figure. To-day there are no less than 1!7 children in the establishment. The reason of its isolation from the union is that the children brought up therein may not be stigmatised as paupers-that the pauperising element may be eliminated from their natures. It Î3 an admirably managed insti- tution, and Mr Connor, the superintendent, has received the highe3t.and most complimentary testimonials from one Government Inspector after another for the able way in which lie carries on the Industrial Schools, and the efficient training which he imparts unto the children of both sexes placed under his charge. The establishment is too small to meet the requirements of the Act of Parliament, and the Local Government Board direct that the buildings must be extended so as to accommodate at least 200 children. An architect from the Government Department has inspected the re- mises, prepared the plans, nnd estimates that an expenditure of at least £3,000 will be necessary to give the total accommodation required. Such an expenditure at first sight frightened some of the guardians, who immediately set their faces against it. On a careful consideration, however, such an amount is not alarming, inasmuch as money can be obtained at a low rate of interest, repayable over a period of thirty years. On such conditions, with an actual estimated rateable value of property comprised within the union of £354,000, such a sum could be readily met by a rate of one farthing in the £ or 2s Id per annum upon each £100 rateable value. This extension having been accomplished, there would then be ample room for all children for very many years to come. But the Roman Catholics and those who stand by their side see in the now proposal an opportunity which they would gladly avail themselves of. Under the pretext of saving the district rates, they would provide accommo- dation for housing, feeding, and educat- ing children, provided that the Guar- dians would vote to them the same amount of money per head that it costs the ratepayers to maintain the children in the Industrial Schools. On the face of it the proposal is a feasible one. There are 51 Roman Catholic children under tne clnrge of the Newport Guardians. If these were drafted out then there would be ample accommodation for the remaining 110, An application was thereupon made through Sister Illtyd Morgan, who had a certificate from the Local Government Board for carrying on "Cottage HomeR" at reforest, in Glamorganshire, for 23 children only. But if more could be obtained then it ia proposed to ex- tend the homes, or to rebuild, or build, it may be, premises elsewhere. Sister Illtyd Morgan has appealed to the Local Government Board with iespect to the scheme. Thev refuse to grant her any certificate for more than 23 children, and these are not pauper, children. This is quite as many as their lordsliips consider the Sister is capable of managing. This practically should settled the question, but a tremendous o. t was made to affirm a principle that pro- M teU suitable accommodation was afforded the e Guardians would then grant the application of pister Morgan. To this the Newport Guard- sa,y nay; aud we think wisely too. oetting aside the religious element alto- gether, the project is Utopian and chimerical. There is no school at which liomau Catholic children can be sent under the conditions foreshadowed. 1 reforest is too many miles off to render the scheme workable. The expense of sending children T?' I N °.!a involved in very considerable cost. Virtually it would put all the children too far away irom their parents as weil as guardians for any control over them or the managers of such scuools as Sister Morgan conducts. Now children can be seen by parents, guardians, or relatives once 1i month or oftener if necessary, and much comtort is thus afforded to the h.-ie ones in consequence. The Caerleon Industrial school is a model establishment, and no word of complaint Ins ever been uttered againsi, its management. Perfect and complete control ia^ there obtained, and the inmates, in ad- dition to being made tUoroughiy happy, receive a training which would do credit to any school ill tiie kingdom. With such uncontrovertible facts, and having regard to the duties imposed upon the Guardians, it is satisfactory to know that they have resolved to keep the control of all classes of children entrusted to them in their own hands.

NICE IYJlNGS IN UP PElt CAR- MARTHENSHIRE. Mnrfcha Davies, servant of Cnwchdeilog, who has been an inmate of Llandovery Union since April last, summoned William Jones, of Maesy- gwaudde, servant, to show cause, & Com- plainant gave birth to two male children (twins) on Easter JNiouuay. iu.r I, Jones, clerk of the board of guardians, appea-ed on behalf of the "uardiaus, and Mr Lewis Bishop, on behalf of the defendant, who is 18 or 19 years of age. The complainant, who is many years his senior, admitted when cross- examined giving birth to a child about four years ago but said that the father of that cLiH was another person. Betty Davies, the complainant's grandmother, said that 011 a. special rt?uu^st from the pai ties she consented to the complainant and deiemlant remaining in her house one night court- ii'g. She slept in the same room, and had a cur- tain round t;ie bed, but she admitted peepin^some- times by the side of the curtain. The parties, she said, remained there for a couple of hours. David Griffiths, Penlan Ystradwalter, and Mar- garet Morgan were next called. The latter sai 1 sli6 was tiiQ complainant'; fellow servant at Cmvchdeilog. She remembered seeing the de- fendant on several occasions with the complain- ant. He used to com3 to Cnwchdeilog about 12 o'clock at night, and when he knocked at the bed- room window she (witness) used to open the door fur hiui. The bench made an order.

CARDIFF PILnTS'SUPERANNUA- TION. A special meeting of the members of Cardiff Pilotage Board was held at the Pilotage-offices, on Tuesday, tinder the presidency of ilrW. D. Bushell, to consider the questiou of a superannua- tion allowance for pilots inea aerated from age or infirmities. The subject had been previously con- sidered, and a scheme prepared, atter consultation with Mr G. Salmon, as the sum of about £7,000 remains in the haJds of the Pilotage Board, as surplus from the 5 per cent deducted from pilotage dues less than the working expenses of the Pilotage Board. This sum, under the Merchant Shipping Act, musr, be applied to the relief of disabled pilots, and the code of rules, the rate of superannuation, e'c., must be submitted to the Board of Trade for approval. The question con- i-idered on Tues lay was the rate to he allowed to pilots, their widows, and orphans, the establish- ment of the fund having been already decided upon, It was considered highly desirable that the rate fixed shonld be one that the fund at the command of the Pilotage Board would be able to maintain, and this part of the scheme required careful consideration. In addition to the fund in hand, there is a constant surplus every year, in- creasing annually, to be added to the fund already accrued. The principle laid down is that the pilot who has earned the largest amount of money should receive the highest amount per week as a superanuuadon allowance, and this also with the widows and orphans. After discussing this rate of payment for a long time, the board adjourned, being desirous of obtaining further information respecting the operation of similar funds in other places before coining to any conclusion,

CAimiFFPlLOTAGE BYE-LAWS. At the C rdiff police-c>>urt, on Monday, John Clarke, the master of a Teasel, was summoned by the pilotage authorities at Cardiff for a violation of one of their bye-laws, in employing within their district an unlicensed pilot. Mr L. T. Reece ap- peared for the Pilotage Board, and Mr Ingledew for the defendant. The defendant was the mas- ter of the sailing ship Lake Lemon, and, accord- ing to Mr Reece, he in April iast employed an unlicensed pilot within the district of the Cardiff Pilotage Board, aft;r a duly qualified pilot had offered bis services, in contravention of the 4th bye-law. Mr Reece then proceeded to show how the bye-laws received the sanction of,and were ap- proved by, Har Majesty in Council, in 1874. The section of the Merchant Shipping Act from which they were taken made the penalty for such offence, when proved, double pilotage. The bye-law, however, inflicted a penalty not ex- ceeding B50 on conviction. The Bench held that there was no offence unless it could be shown that a duly qualified pilot had offered his services. A master was not bound to look out for a pilot unless it was a passenger vessel. Mf Reece said he should prove that a duly qualified pilot had offered his services, and the bench, under the circumstances, agreed to amend the summons as regarded that portion of it, sub- ject to uny objection which Mr Ingledew might raise against it. Mr Jones It seems to me, however, that in fixing the penalty you have gone beyond what the Act empowered yon to do. Mr Ingledew said that he should raise an ob- jection to the bye-law on this ground. Mr Reece Mr ingledew was one of the pilot- age authorities at the time these bye-laws were framed. Mr Ingledew Yes, but I did not know so mnch then as I do now. Mr Jones: It seems to me that this section of the Act does not apply to the bye-law a bit. The master of a ship is not called upon to carry pilots excepting in certain specified cases. Neither is he called upon to look out for a licensed pilot before employing an unlicensed one. Mr Ingledew contended that the pilotage I authorities had no power t? make such a bye-law, and that it was bad in consequent. The bye-law for this offence made the penalty £50, but tliS Act of Parliament only inflicted a penalty of double pilotage, and if there was no authority for such a penaltv under an Act of Parliament the bye-law was ultra vires. The Act gave power to the Pilotage Board to make bye-laws for the purpose of having some control over the pilots, but not for such a purpose as that for which the 4th bye-law was framed. Mr Jones: I cannot see how the byedaw can inflict a penalty of B50 when the Act only makes the penalty double pilot ige. The pilotage board has certainly gone beyond its powers altogether in making that bye-law. I am quite sure, Mr Reece, you cannot go on under that byn-law, and the C11,"e must he dismissed. Mr Ingledew Will your Honour allow costs? Mr Jones Yes. the usual costs. Mr Reece Then you hold that the bye-law is bad. Mr Jones I hold that the PILOTNGE board can- not, in this particular case, proceed under that bye- law, Mr Reece: Will yon grant a case on the point. I am instructed to apply for one. Mr Jones: No, no; the summons must be taken out under the Act of Parliament—that is my opinion—and not under the bye-law.

Canon Hawkins, canon in resi- dence, the. second lesson; and the Rev. E, A. Fishbourne, minor canon, the service. The Rev. W. C. Bruce, who had been selected to preach the visitation sermon, took for his text 'the 3rd verse of the 11th chapter of the second Epistle to the Coiinthians, and speaking as a brother in the ministry he delivered a sermon appropriate to the occasion. He said that at a time like the present, when every day was fraught with events in the issue of which lay hid the temporal future of our Church in a crisis in the history of t: e career of the Church of England, when greatly decreasing majorities in Parliament side by side with the gradual increase of popular cLmonr outside of Parliament, the growing power of the enemies of the Church,were sure and unerring indications of the growing disability of the Church to carry into etfect its own laws, even where morality was affected, or even to re- tain its own rights and privileges as a corporate body at such a time — and was this not such a time ? it was surely their interest and duty as officers and guardians of the beleagured Church to look well to it that each in his duly-appointed post made every provision for defence, and braced themselves against a surely-approaching and formidable attuck. This was not the time for self-sufficient pride in fancied security. The security ou which the temporal power of the Church of England rested was that based on the character of her clergy, on their simple-minded, simple-hearted loyal allegiance, and no less on their unanimity of agreement, and their unbroken front in the face of the common foe. In these days of active and hostile organisations against the Church, union among her ministers was indispensable—never more so and never was it so necessary that they should ve free from the imputation of internal division never so important that their own private awl personal characters aud work should bear the closest scrutiny of the world. They know that Christ's Church would ride through every storm. But a thousand dangers environed Christ's Church in England. They warned her ministers that nothing must be wanting on their parts towards enabling them to meet the peril. Should they not then be scrupulous—for the s ke of the country, which looked to them so much for the moral and religious civilisation which was her noblest bo <st for the sake of their fellow countrymen, who looked to them for the preser- vation of so many benefits, and for the averting of so many ills and miseries—that no suspicion of offence should attach to them which might bring loss, however temporary, to their cause. The Venerable ARCHDEACON announced that as he had not yet been able to visit each parish in fche archdeaconry—he hoped in the course of a few weeks to be able to do so—he would now re- frain frefsn addressing the clergy. There wii-3 a fair attendance of churchwardens

EXPLOSION ON BOARD SHIP IN I PENARTHjmDS. On Tuesday morning, in the Penarth Roads, an explosion occurred on board the Italian brig, Saotina Ansaido," Captain Olivari, outward bound from the East Bute Dock, Cardiff, for Leg- horn, with a cargo of small coal, shipped by Messrs Insole and Son. The explosion occurred in the cabin whilst the captain and the steward," a young man named Luigi Pellerano, were in there.

Thomas, Worshipful Master of the Talbot Lodge, and his officers," At a quarter to three o'clock the Right Worshipful Prov. G.M., the Worshipful Deputy Prov. G.M., and his officers were announced, and admitted. The Right Worshipful Prov. G.M., Bro. Sir G. Elliot took the chair of King Solomon, and Provincial Grand Lodge was then opened the ful10wing anthem being sung :— "Great and marvellous are Thy works. Lord God Almighty who shall not fear Thee, 0 Lord, and glorify Thy Name for Thou only art; holy. "Glory to GOll in the highest; let all the Brethren cry aloud, Praise the Lord." So mote it be. Before the special business of the lodge was commenced, I Bro. Sir GEORGE ELLIOT expressed his regret for not having been able to come amongst the brethren more frequently than he had done since his election to the position of Prov. G.M. He was unable to do so on account of other pressing duties, but he hoped to be amongst them more frequently for the future. However, the duties had been very ably performed by D.P.G.M. Brother Tennant, to whom he then and thare expressed his thanks. After the transaction of some formal business, and the reception of reports, the appointment and investment of the provincial grand officers for the year took place as follows:—Bro. Weichert, P.M. Glamorgan Lodge, P.G.S.W. Bro. Hurman, W. M. Windsor Lodge, Penarth, P. G.J.W. Bro. the Rev. Dr Walters, vicar of Llansamlet, P.G. Chaplain Bro. J. Wynne Jones, P.G, Chaplain Bro. Wilkins, P.M.G.P.

Daniel Smith. Afan Lodge: and 5 guineas to the Swansea Hospital. A collec- tion, amounting to fIC 10s 10d was also made, to be handed over to the vicar of St Mary's parish church, the Rev S. C. Morgan, At the conclusion of the business of the lodge, a very cordial vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor and Corporation of Swansea for placing the Town-hall at their disposal for their annual ga- thering. ~r Bro. ROGERS (Mayor of Swansea) briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the lodge was closed after the singing of the subjoiued an- them :— "Behold how good and joyful a. thing it is, Brethren, to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down unto the beard, ev'n unto Aaron's beard, and went down to theskirts of his clothing. It is like the dew of Hermon, which fell upon the hill of Zion for there the Lord promised His blessing and life for evermore." So mote it be. A grand banquet subsequently took place at the Maclcworth Arms Hotel, when covers were laid for over lOt) persons. The chair was taken by the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master, Sir George Elliott, who was supported on the immediate right by the Worshipful Deputy- Proviucial Grand Master, Brother Marma- duke Tennant, and on the left by Brother Parkinson. The Queen and the Craft" was the first toast, which wa3 proposed by the Right Worshipful Master. Brother Tennant proposed The Provincial Grand Master and the officers of the Grand Lodge," which was responded to by Brother Parkinson. The Worshipful Mas- ter of the Talbot Loctge.Brother T. Thomas, under whose banner the proceedings of the day had been held, proposed the toast of "The Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of the eastern division of South WaJea." Sir George Elliot, in his reply, again explained that he had not been able to come amongst the brethren of the province as he would wish to do, The toast was received with acclamation. Before sit- ting down Sir George Elliot proposed the henithof the Worahipful Deputy-Provincial Grand Master, Brother Tennant, and this was also received in an enthusiastic manner. The other toasts were the "Visitors," "The Provincial Grand Officers," "Masonic Charities," and "The Lodges of the Province." During the evening several of the brethren rendered songs, duetts, and quartettes, the singing of Bro. W. Hogarth, of the Opera Comique, beiug perhaps amongst the most notable.

THE STOPPAGE OF TilE DOWLAlS IRONWORKS. (FROM OCB OWN BTTPORTSH-I MERTHYR, TUESDAY. The utmost consternation has been caused throughout the town to-day by the sad and, as it afterwards turned out, too true tidings that the immense ironworks of the Dowlais Company, employing several thousands of persons, were to be stopped. The colliers, a fortnight since, were asked to accept the 10 per cent reduction at once, instead of waiting until the expiration of the notice at the end of June. According to the in- formation that I now glean, they expressed their readiness to continue working, even on the reduced scale, if the colliers iu the Rhondda also did 30, The latter not having made such a compromise with their employers, the Do lais colliers became dissatisfied, and determined not to continue work until a more satisfactory arrangement had been made, In conseqneuce of this resolution, the men yesterday did not go to work, and all the col. lieries of tire company were idle. In the morn- ing the men had a meeting, at which they an- puinted three of their number to wait on Mr Tru- ran,the mining agent of thecompan ,and tlie result ef tliat interview is to be communicated to the men at a meeting which will be held on the tip, Bear the Steel Works, this evening. I under- stand, however, that the principal agents of the company will not discuss the matter with the men, but whether this is absolutely true I am as yet unable to state. Learning the determination of the men, so I am informed, Mr Mer.elaus ordered the immediate stoppage of the works—a s-tap which, in effect, means the lock-out of the hundreds and thousands of persons employed about the iron and steel works, without the slightest fault on their part, or notice given them. No doubt the works could not be carried on for any time, even for many hours, at the present time without the collieries being in operation, so Mr Menelaus took, as it were, the bull by the horns, and immediately issued the following notice:- DowLtis Works.—Notice. Owing to the strike of colliers it is become neeessarv to stop a lar e portion of the works, and as the stoppage will probably, in the present dearth of orders, be permanent, Notice is hereby given, that all existing con- tracts with all persons employed in and about these works will cease and determine in one month from this date. 20th May, 1879. Ie By order." This notice was issued about 12, and between that hour and one nearly all the men in the various mills at the furnaces.andatthe steel works,stoppea work. This huge hive of industry suddenly became still,and the tops of thehilla were not to be seen for the clouds of binoke aud vapour arising from the furnaces and boilers which were being put out. No less than 48, I am informed, of the large blast furnaces of the works are in process of being blown out, whilst others are damped down. The streets during the afternoon were crowded with persons loitering about. The colliers employed at night work were going to their respective collieries as this parcel was being dispatched, in order to see if there was any work for them.

MINERS' WAGES IN DEAN FOREST The miners of a leading firm in the Forest of Dean, having been put on four days per week, will be unable with their present wages rate to earn more than lis 4d for their weekly income. The majority have long distances to travel, and to provide their own lights.

COLLIERS' STRIKE AT EBBWVALE On Monday, the colliers belonging to the Wain Llwyd Colliery refused to accent the reduction which came in force on that day. Å meeting of the men was held near Libanus Chapel, to con- sider the best steps to be taken in reference to the reduction. The men spoke iu atrong terms of the action of the masters. The mon of No, 15, 22 and 5 pits have accepted the reduction, and com- menced to work on it.

DIMS COLLIEHY EXPLOSION. RECOVERY OF TWO MORE BODIES. At an early hour on Tuesday morning two more bodies were recovered from tha (Jinas Pit, which were recognised as Thomas atkius nnd William Lloyd, firemen. There were watches on both bodies. The one on the body of Wutklns had stopped at 10.25. and the one ou Lloyd at 10.30. Seven bo.iies have now been brought up, leaving 56 in the workings.

BREAKING COUJERY" RULES. On Monday, at the Pentre petty-sessions— before Mr Gwilym Williams (stipendiary magi- strate)—the Clydach Vale Coal Company sum- moned John Williams fur opening his lamp while at work ur.46rSrouu^» on the 10th of this month, Mr W. Wil]iaii}8.Prosecutef'> and 1\Ir D. Phillips defended.—Mr Ricl:arti Thomas, manager, pro- duced the colliery rules.—Pavid Thomas, under- lampman, said that he locked ab >nt 23J lamps, and the defendant's was included, -jr.Muses Williams, collier in the same heading, saw dt- fendant taking the c.tse on the lamp, and told him of the peril involved. It was r.ot true that the lamp was without a light. Defendant was fined 20s and cnsts, or one month in default. Prisoner having failed to pay was removed to the btatiou-hou.se.

THE SOUTii WALES COAL TRADE. A STRIKE OF COLLIERS AT BRITON PEuiiy. Our Briton Ferry correspondent writes :—On Saturday evening the collirrs engaged at the Biaeu Baglau, Wern Pistyll, and Tor-y-Mynydd collieries brought out their tools, the different masters having offered tiiem notice of a 10 per cent reduc- tion, which they refuse. FURTHER NOTICES IN THE FOREST OF DEAN. Following a restriction of labour at the leading iron works, notices were posted on Monday at Mr Osman Barret's new collieries at Mossley, near Lydney, whereby at the end of the week the con- tracts are to ceass. rlhis has not taken people by surprise, although to the workpeople it was, and the announcement is likely to entail a loss of labour, and will be therefore a serious blow at a time like the present, when the Forest labour market continues so largely overstocked, A con- siderable sum- has been expended in opening the collieries.

THE CYFARTHFA COLLIERS. MERTHYR, TUESDAY NIGHT, What appears to be a satisfactory settlement of the dispute between the Cyfarthfa colliers and Mr Crawshay has been arrived at. A deputation waited upon Mr Crawshay this morning, when the men were iuformell that they misunder- stood the letter read to them by Mr Bates, the miuing agent, as to the acceptance of a 10 per cent reduction. Mr Crawshay agreed to pay the men on the old terms for the week they objected to, provided they accepted the reduction, ii res- pective of what the Dowlais colliers would do. He further agreed not to impose another reduction in the course of the present year, if the men would agree to resume work on the terms stipulated. The repre3entati ves of the men promiseJ to lay before the colliers the result of their interview. A mass meeting of colliers, attended by hundreds of others interested in the decision, has been held on! the tips above Penydarren. The men have wisely resolved to work on at the 10 per cent re- duction, and thus the dispute, as far as the eolliers are concerned, is at an end. What action may now be taken with reference to the ironworkers, I cannot yet state, the withdrawal, or other- wise, of the notice, a copy of which I have sent you, not having been discussed at their meeting, as it did not relate to them. The night colliers were not permitted to go down to-night. The Cyfarthfa colliers have also consented to the terms proposed to them, and a general resumption of work in these collieries also will take place ill the morning. Men are at work this evening in the Castle Pit, where the double shift by steam is in operation. The settlement of the disputes at both places has given much satisfaction.

BREACH OF THE MINES REGULA- T10N ACT. Josiah Llewellyn, a haulier, employed at Messrs Nixon, Taylor, and Co's Merthyr Vale Colliery, was charged at the Merthyr police-court on Satur- day, by Mr Brown, the manager, with a breach of the Mines Regulation Act by leaving an air-door open. Mr Pies prosecuted, The evidence showed that on the evening of the 6th inst. the defendant was at work in the colliery, and fit the same time the fireman went d'iwn in pursuit of his avocation. In one part of the workings he found the air was very bad, and he promised to investigate the cause. The fireman discovered that one of the doors had been left open. Pro- ceeding further into the workings he found that the air was still worse, and in fact there had been an accumulation of gas. About that time he saw the defendant, w ho could have been the only per- son that left the door opan. The fireman charged him with having neglected to shut the door, and he replied that he had left it for another man to do. This person, upon being spoken to, denied that the defendant had said anything to him about shutting the door. Had he known it was open he would have gone and closed it for his own safety, and for the safety of others. Three or four witnesses were called, their statements being in effect as above. Mr Plews, in an address to the bench, said that had it not been for the vigilance of the overman in discovering the open door the probability was that a serious explosion would have occurred. The cause of serious ex- plosions which occasionally happened was wrapt up in mystery, and such instances as the one they had been investigating threw light, he considered, as to how they probably oft-n happened. The Stipendiary sentenced the defendant to oue month's imprisonment, with hard labour.

SWANSEA APPEAL CASE. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Monday, the case of Pike re Esitck came before Sir James Bacon, chief judge, oil appeal from the decision of the judge of the Swawea. Coamty-court, reject- ing the appellant's proof of debts against tbe estate of a posting master in Rutlai»d-6treet, Swansea and directing the registration of the resolutions pttsssed by the creditors at the first meeting. The chief judge was of opinion that the proof in ques- tion was a perfectly good one, and that the creditor was entitled to vote at the meeting, be being the bonat fide bolder of b Us which he had purchased for value. The order of the cuurt belo v was wrong, and must be discharged, with coats.

COAL FINDING AT CA li COLLIERY, LLANELLY. Cae Colliery is situate about a quarter of a mHe from the town of Haneily. and is the property of Messsrs Neville Druee, aud Co. It is to the east of the great b r, and some doubt existed as to whether the veii« to the e ist of the bar wonld prove so valuable as- those on the southern side. Under the able management aud instructions of Mr William Williams, Box House, the proprie- tors hare laid out a large sum of niuuev ill erect- ing substantial engine houses, and constructing a convenient shaft and air pits, nd on Satur iav week the sinkers struck the w ell kno n four feet Fairy vein, and on Friday last a sami le truck of large coal was sent to the Copper Works Dock, where it was viewed by a large number of persons interested in the coal trade. j here are two other good veins of coal, the "Golden and tile Bushy," to be found below the Fairy vein.

DAJfGEROUSFREAKS OF A BULL AT LLANELLY. On Monday & bull was being driven through the Llanelly streets, when it. suddenly made off, over- turning everything that came in its way. On reaching the Park Gate the animal got upon the fence, and for some time successfully resisted all attempts at its removal. Upon being got down the bull rushed through Athenaeum-street and Church-street, and on turning came upon Mr Cratchley, of the Salutation Hotel, injuring him badly. The beast was induced to stand still in the front of the old market, in Hall-street, but not before it had attempted to toss a wagon, and had also slightly injured a man In Hall-street. At last the animal ran down West End, and into s"me gardens at the Forge, when a man named Thomas tried to secure it with a rope, The bull. however, rushed uport him, aNd tbe man tilling upon his face, the animal jumped right over him, and then fell down exhausted. Several men then approached the beast, when it was found to be dead.

BRECONSlTfUE MUTTA"AND THE MEIU'liYR l'OLlCE, At the Merthyr police-court on Monday—the Stipendiary and Mr Thomas Williams on the bench—James Connore, John Hennessey, and John Sullivan were brought up charged with assaulting P.C. Phillips and P.O. Jones on Satur- day night. On the night mentioned there was a row in China, and the officers went down there. They sent the prisoners out, and tonk another man into custody. When they returned to the road, the prisoners commenced throwing stones, one of which struck Phillips, and made him insensible. They then savagely attacked Jones, and rescued the prisoner from him. The prisoners were subsequently arrested by P.S. Davies, having joined their regiment at Brecon. Hennessey and Sullivan were each sentenced to one month's imprisonment, and the other prisoner to three weeks.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY NEAR }IITCHELDEAN. At the Littledean petty-sessions, on Monday, Joseph We-ston, of Plump Hill, near Mitcheldean, was charged with ill-treatment to his boy, Waller Weston, three years of age. This was shown to be a ciise of exceptional neglect and cruelty by prisoner and a woman who lives dth him, he being a widower, A Mrs Ellen Moore and Eliza- beth jLucas, neighbours, gave evidence as to the ill-treatment, and swore that they saw prisoner and the woman washing the boy in a tub of water, the former beating him. The woman afterwards flung" the little one from her arms upon the floor. Mr Colchester, one of the magis- trates residing in the neighbourhood, gave evidence as to the terribly emaciated condition of the lad. It appeared, also, that he was not allowed to sleep in a bed, but in a bag made of shavings. Prisoner was sent to gaol for a month, with hard labour.

WELSH ARTISTES AT CARMAR- THEN ASYLUM. A correspondent sends us the following :—Of the feast of music aud song to which the inhabi- tants of Carmarthen were lust week treated, the inmates of the Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum have been permitted to partake. Miss Martha Harris and Mr Lucas Williams, whose vocalefforts at Carmarthen Eisteddfod were so warmly appre- ciated, signified, through a friend, their willing- ness-to sing to those unfortunate members of ke human faildly who are confined in this institu- tion. Dr. Hearu.^ gladly availed himself of the generous offer. A.. impromptu concert was arranged, and held in the b-dl-room of the asylum on Saturday evening. The artistes named above were accompanied by Miss Hearder and Miss Fitch. The audience were evidently affected, especially when Welsh sougs were rendered. At the cloBc two of the male patients came forward, and expressed their gratitude for the thoughtful kindness displayed towards them and their fellow- sufferers.

ASSAULTING A MOTHER AT NEWPORT At the Newport borough police-court, on Mon- day—before Messrs J. Gibbs (Mayor) and T. P. Wansborough—Mary Murphy was charged v. ith assaulting Catherine Gurtliy, -Proseeutrixsaid on Monday night last the prisoner came to her house and assaulted her, and threatened to cut her throat. She had a knife in her hand, and would have done it. It was nut a nice thing for her to give evidence against her daughter, but she wished to be protected. Prisoner denied the charge. She said she was standing: on the top of Cross-street, when some boys cut her hand with a knife. She then. went home, with her hand covered with blood, Her mother wanted to keep her in the house, but she would not stay. She said she wanted to go to the Town-hall, to tell the police about the boys cutting her hand.

J ones, which was an action for damages in a collision between two steam-tugs. Mr Vachell (Ingledew, Ince, and Vachell, Car- diff) appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Vaughan, Newport, nppeared for defendant. Plaintiffs are owners of the steam-tug Electric, and they sought to recover damages from the owners of the steam- tug Traveller, s :stained in a collision near Sharp- ness. The question was whether the captain of the Traveller intentionally did the damage. Both boats were plying for hire, and endeavouring to get mOPey for their owners, aud both were trying t, get the S2Tne vessel. The master of the Electric, Henry Bnrtoil, stated that on the 6th of March he was in Kiog-ro.-d;, h the steam-tug, A barque, named the Columbia, "S id Ker colours up for a tug. and witness was balled by the piJot and the captain.

Mr Vaughan submitted that his client's ship did no daraagfeto the Electric. Mr John Llewellyn Jones, the owner of the Traveller, said there was a 'crack down the side of the beam of the tug, extending to the bolt hole, but this was a crack at least a couple ot months old. After hearing all the evi- dence, his Honour said he could not doubt that there had been a collision, and that defendant was liable. Judgment for plaintiff, the damage to be assessed by the registrar.

FATHER MOVEMENT AND THE NEATH GUARDIANS. t -^1 Jones presided at the meeting of the JNeath Board of Guardians on Tuesday "Tiie only business of importance before the meeting was the re.;ding of a letter sent by the Rev Father McClement to the Local Government Bo. rd. containing very serious allegations against I the officers of the house, viz., punishintr the inmates with bread and water diet for not attend- ing the Protestant services held by the chaplain bribing a Roman Catholic mother, in the name of the guardians, to obtain the baptism of a child by a Protestant clergyman general hostility to the priest in his religious visitations expulsion from the house of a Roman Catholic inmate, &c. # The Board, at the suggestion of Mr Player, considered the best way to deal with the question would be to have all the R unan Catholic inmates in the room before the members, and the master, and make a strict inquiry into the matter. Th*y were each summoned and closely questiouel on each separate charge made in the Roman Catbo- lic priest's letter to the Local Government Board. The replies elicited gave a most emphatic contra- diction to every allegation, provoking from the guardians that the priest had already disturbed the workhouse so much that no further enquiry in his presence should be made." The opinion was objected to. Mr Hopkin Jone3, however, thought that Mr Vivian's expression to "squelch the lot," was the best language that could be applied to such scandalous statements. The clerk was directed to convey to the Local Government Board the substance of the negative statements given by the inmates, each of whom spoke in the highest terms of the uniform kindness of the mas- ter and matron towards them, and of the religious freedom allowed them in and out of the house. The remainder of the business was of the usual formal character.

Defendent: Oh, here, if you please.—Sir Hughes: What are you?—Defend- ant I am an engineer by trade.

(Laughter.) —Mr Hughes: I think. you must be mistaken, I can't get my own hair to grow. (Laughter.)—Defendant: Oh, I am not at ail: I am saying what is true.

(Loucl laughter.)—Mr Hughes: I am glad you are satisfied. We will not deal very harshly with von, although the offence is a serious oae. You will be imprisoned at Uak for three weeks,
