IRISHMEN REFUSING TO GO TO AUSTRALIA. A large batch of Irish labourers arrived at Holyhead from London on Wednesday, and were unable to proceed, having lost their passes. The men said they had been engaged to go to Aus- tralia to work on the railway there, but hearing of the strike declined to proceed on the voyage. They had undergone great hardships since leaving home. After some hours the passes were found, and the men proceeded to Dublin early on Thursday morning.

AN AUDACIOUS ESCAPE. Putting to Sea on an Inflated Mattress. An audacious escape from the prison on the small island of Nisida. happened the other day. A Roman, condemned to imprisonment for life for the murder of his sisters sweetheart, was employed, on account of his good conduct, as waiter to the surgeon of the prison. While unobserved in thit gentleman's. rooms the prisoner succeeded in appropriating a, pneumatic mattress and a suit of clothes. ITiider this dis- guise he succeeded in passing out of the prison. Not being able, however, to reach-rthe seashore, which was GUARDED by sentinals, he threw himself fromaprecii JUS rock in a lonely part of the island, and succeeded on the inflated mattress in reaching the opposite shore of Posilippo..Un- fortunately for him some coastguards espied his strange craft, boarded it, and captured him.

SUICIDE.—A collier, named John Evans, resid- ing atPentyrch, committed suicide, on Thursday, by HANGING himself to » tree near his residence.

Cardiff Municipal Elections. EXTENSIVE ILLEGAL PRACTICES. Several Tory Candidates and their Agents Involved. Eminent Counsel's Opinion. Never since the passing of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices (Municipal Elections) Act, 1884, 47 and 48 Vic., c. 70, has there been a greater surprise for Cardiff electors than is now afforded by the recent illegal action of the Tory party in Cardiff in the present municipal elections. A committee of members of the Reform Club outside the regular Liberal organization, and who are acting as a permanent Election Vigilance Committee, having had laid before them direct and indisputable evidence of an overwhelming character that extensive illegal practices had been commit- ted by several Tory candidates and their agents, in which the officials and leaders of the Tory party in Cardiff had taken active part, laid before Mr Alexander Macmorran, M.A., of the Middle Temple, barrister-at-law, one of the editors of the Justice of the Peace and "Lumley's Public Health Act," and the editor of the "Local Government Act, 1888," and works on municipal and local elections, a case for his opinion thereon. His reply has been received, and he emphatically states his unqualified opinion that several of the Conservative candidates and their agents, and others who took part in those illegalities, have rendered themselves liable to the penalties and disqualiifcations contained in the Act. Among those who are concerned in these illegalities are gentlemen whose knowledge in the legal profession should have prevented them from allowing their party to be placed in any such position. The facts relating to each Tory candidate have been separately laid before counsel, and an opinion has been given on the merits ,or, rather, the demerits of each particular case. The penalty for offences committed is £100, with disqualification from voting for five years, and also the endangering of the s^at, with the further disqualification for holding any parlia- mentary, municipal, or public office for a similar period. The evidence in all the cases is so clear and abundant that action will be taken and sum- monses may be applied for forthwith. The can- didates and others concerned have a right to apply to the High Court for an order of ex- oneration, which must be supported by affi- davit. The opposing candidates have a right to appear and show reason why such order should not be granted. Counsel, after fully considering the facts,is clearly of opinion that it will be very difficult now to obtain such an order. Since the numerous applications to the High Court from County Council candidates the judges have laid down new principles on which the order should henceforth be made. This will make it very difficult for any candidate who was in his election advised by agents or supporters who might reasonably be expected to know that such actions were illegal to obtain relief.

THE ROBBERY AT A CARDIFF PAWNBROKER'S SHOP. Prisoners Before the Magistrates. Joseph Thomas Blackburn (24) and Arthur Sims (17) were placed in the dock at the Cardiff police-court yesterday—Mr T. W. Lewis, Stipen- diary, being the presiding magistrate—charged with breaking and entering the pawnbroker's shop of Coleman Folliek, 40, Bridge-street, and stealing therefrom a large quantity of gold and silver watches, gold chains, rings, and other articles, to the total value of £280, on the night of the 4th inst. Mr T. H. Belcher appeared for the prisoner Blackburn. Mr Follick stated that on visiting his shop on Sunday morning, as was his wont, he found indi- cations that someone had broken into his premises, and on going to the window saw that a large quantity of stuff" had been abstracted. Every- thing was left in order on the previous night, witness himself locking up the shop. The esti- mate of his loss, according to his stock book, was £300. A gold watch, a silver Geneva, and a gold wedding ring were then produced by Detective Walter Tidman (Liverpool), five silver watches by Detective Sergeant Bryson (Liverpool), and tlnee English lever watches by Detec- tive Sergeant Smith (Cardiff), all of which were identified by witness as his pro- perty. His private mark was on all goods exposed for sale in his shop and there was further evi- dence in regard to several of the watches being his property, for the thieves had removed the caps, which bore the name of Ingram, of Cardiff, and left them behind them, and these caps corres- ponded in number to the watches. By Mr Belcher: He had seen the prisoner Blackburn on the Saturday night before the robbery, his attention having been directed to him by a customer, who informed him that he was "loafing" about. Margaret Madden, wife of a crane-driver, living at 2, Roberfc's-court, deposed to seeing Blackburn, whom she had identified among half-a-dozen men in the morning, loitering about in the vicinity of Mr Follick's shop. Mr Belcher You know this shop very well, Mrs Madden.—Yes, sir; more to my sorrow. (Laughter.) What led you to notice Blackburn so closely ?— Well, sir, he was about there for over two hours, and I told Mr Follick's assistant to watch him. Richard Barke, a pawnbroker, carrying on business at 28, Heywood-street, Liverpool, stated that prisoner Sims called at his shop and offered for pledge a silver lever hunting watch. Witness, thinking that the watch had been unlawfully obtained, detained it until prisoner showed him the receipt. Prisoner did not return and infor- mation was at once given to the police. The Stipendiary You had received no in- formation of the robbery from the police ?—No, sir. Well, then, Mr Barke, you are a pattern pawn- broker, and if all pawnbrokers were like you there would be much less robbery and much less diffi- culty in bringing thieves to justice. Witness Thank you, sir. William German, engaged in another Liver- pool pawnbroking establishment, received a watch from Sims, and noticing the suspicious circum- stances he also detained the watch and gave information to the police. The Stipendiary Your conduct is also worthy of commendation. I must compliment you upon aiding the police in the difficult task of tracing stolen property. Richard Jenks, another Liverpool pawnbroker, said that Blackburn tried to pledge a watch with him for £1 10s, but witness advanced only 10s. This was on the 11th October. Blackburn gave the name of the other prisoner, Arthur Sims." Walter Tidman, a Liverpool detective, stated that he took Sims into custody on suspicion of stealing a watch, in consequence of a report from Mr Jones, pawnbroker. Prisoner said that the watch belonged to his sister, who had purchased it from Smith's, of Birmingham. He asked prisoner if he had any other property on him, and he replied, No I have only 27 bob." On searching him at the station £2 18s 9d and a gold wedding ring, since identitied as stolen property, were found in his pockets. At 7.30 on the even- ing of the 15th inst. witness, in company with Detective-Sergeant Bryson and Detective- Sergeant Smith, of Cardiff, proceeded to Pem- broke-place, Liverpool, where they arrested Blackburn, who said, while on his way to the station in a cab, You are making a nice show of yourselves by taking the wrong man." By Mr Belcher Did he say this before he was charged ?—Yes. Did you not tell Rim what you wanted him for before he got to the station ?—No. The Stipendiary: In some respects our prac- tices here are somewhat better than in Liverpool, for our constabies would never dream of taking prisoners in custody without first telling them the nature of the offence with which they would be charged. Mr Belcher: No jury in the world will believe such a statement. Sergeant Bryson having given coroborative evidence, Edward Rutherford, a fire constable, said that he had seen the two prisoners going past his station, which was only three doors away from the pawnbroking shop of Messrs Jones. He saw Sims go into the shop, Blackburn waiting outside but a short distance away. By Mr Belcher Can you swear to Blackburn ?— I can sir, I took particular "stock" of him, his appearance and manner being most suspicious to a police officer. Mr Belcher Then you will know me again ?— Oh, yes, sir; but I trust never to see you in the same position as the prisoners. (Laughter.) Detective Smith then spoke as to the arrest, which was effected by Tidman and himself almost simultaneously. Before they got into the cab witness told prisoner several times that he would have to take him to Cardiff on suspicion of his being concerned in breaking into the lock-up shop of Mr Follick. It was quite possible that this was not heard by Tidman, as the wind was very high at the time, and there was considerable vehicular traffic. In answer to the formal charge at the police offices Blackburn said, I have never been to Cardiff." When confronted by Sims, who said that Blackburn had given him. the watches to pledge, the latter attempted to get at his throat, saying, If I could get at you, you swine, I would give you something, you kid."— Evidence as to the mode of entry to the shop, the roof of which was neatly broken into, was next tendered by Inspector Tamblyn. Both prisoners Were sent to take their trial at the next County Sessions, to be held in January, Sims declaring his innocence of the robbery, but admitting that he had pawned the watches, which had been given to him by Blackburn.

THE PLUMSTEAD TRAGEDY. Walter James Lyotn?, 20, described as a labourer, was indicted at the Old Bailey on Thursday for the wilful murder of quartermaster John Stewart, at Plumstead. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. M* C. Matthews opened the case for the Crown and briefly reviewed the facts. Edwin Phillimore, who lodged at the house of the prisoner's mother, deposed that on the 12th September last he was awakened about half an hour after midnight by the noise of quarrelling in Mrs Lyons's room, and he heard the prisoner say to someone, If you do not go out of the room I will dash your braina out." A struggle and further altercation followed, and then prisoner said h. would cut deceased's head off. Deceased then said he was a soldier, and had been in battles, and could kill the prisoner at one blow. The two persons then left the house, and witness got up and followed, and near by he found the deceased lying on the ground, and the prisoner lying ovei him with a knife in his hand. A policeman came up, and to him the prisoner handed the knife and gave himself up. He said what he saw between deceased and his mother drove him mad. Mrs Ellen Lyons, mother of the prisoner, described how she met the deceased on Woolwich Common that afternoon, and went home with him at night. Her son came in half an hour afterwards, and finding them in bed he raised » quarrel. The soldier used filthy language to her son, who also used filthy language. She and deceased left the house, and prisoner following found them together behind a hoarding. He became very angry, and he and Stewart swore at each other, and Stewart threatened to knock the prisoner down. Prisoner screamed with rage, and suddenly rushed at deceased and stabbed him. He fell on the road and died almost immediately. Frank Brown, an engineer who was passing, said he heard the prisoner saying, "I am going to do it, mother, I told you I would if I caught you again. I will kill him, if I get killed myself." H. immediately afterwards stabbed the soldier. After corroborative evidence, the case for the prosecution closed. Eventually the prisoner was found guilty of manslaughter, but the jury recommended him to mercy. Sentence was deferred. Mr Justice Stephen yesterday delivered sentence at the Old Bailey on Walter Lyons, who was convicted on Thursday of the manslaughter of Quartermaster-Sergeant John Stewart, at Plum- stead. by stabbing him because the prisoner found him in bed with prisoner's mother. Lyons was ordered to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. The learned Judge said the jury had taken a very merciful view of the case in convicting the accused of manslaughter. He could not help regarding it as a most deliberate act, and ha considered his conduct had been most cruel and ferocious. The jury had recommended him to mercy on account of his youth and the provo- cation he had received, and no doubt the conduct of his mother had been most disgraceful.

RAID ON BETTING CLUBS. On Wednesday afternoon, a few minutes before the result of the Cambridgeshire race was known, the Liverpool police carried out a successful raid on a number of betting clubs. Two hundred constables marched unexpectedly to streets where these are situated and took the inmates by sur* prise. Altogether eight clubs were entered, and the principals and nearly 200 other men were arrested, many of them being respectable residents. They were taken in custody to the detective office. Several loads of club furniture were taken away by the police. Much excite- ment prevailed. In all, about 300 persons were arrested, among them being several prominent bookmakers. One or two clubs seem to have had scent of the raid, for members hurredly cleared out, just before the appearance of the police, The doors of these being found locked, were broken open by the police. Police-court Proceedings. A large crowd gathered round the Liver- pool police-court on Thursday. When the doors were opened there was an ugly rush, and the court was soon inconveniently crowded. When the magistrate took his seat, the prosecuting solicitor said he would ask for a remand for 21 days. The principals, 31 in number, representing eight clubs, were then brought up in batches and formally re- manded on bail in sums of j350 and £100. No official statement was made as to the course to be pursued with reference to the other persons found on the premises of the various clubs, but it was rumoured that the prosecution in those cases would be abandoned, a rumour which was received by many of those in court with an evident sensation of relief. The principals are to be proceeded against under the Betting Act of 1853, specific charges being laid against each individual. In the cases of the persons found upon the premises, who number 150, proceedings will be taken by sum* mons.

SHOCKING SUICIDE ON THE RAILWAY. An elderly man, whom the police believe to be William Laughton, an insurance agent, of Lady- pool-road, Sparkbrook, committed suicide at Acock's Green Railway Station, near Birming- ham, by placing his head upon the rails ID front of the 6.30 train from Solihull to Bir- mingham on Wednesday night. The engine-driver found the engine jolt slightly as though passing over something a few yards from the end of the platform, but as the road has recently been repaired there he did not regard it as any* thing unusual. Whilst oiling the engine ai Solihull, however, he discovered blood on the engine-guard and one of the wheels, and immedi- ately reported the matter. By that time the body had been discovered by a porter at Acock's Green. It is supposed that the man, who had not been previously noticed upon the station, »nd had not booked anywhere, had concealed himself near some bushes on the platform until the train approached, and that he then deliberately down on his back and placed his head upon the rails on the down side. The engine-guard struck him on the side of his head, gashed his face in the most shocking man* ner, and dislocated his neck. In one of his pockets the police found a brown paper parcel, addressed to Mrs Laughton, containing a number of tradesmen's bills and papers connected with the insurance society. On the outside of the par- eel were the words, "Better without me," written in coloured pencil. This makes the fourth suicide within a hundred yards of the same spot during the past few years.

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS. On Tuesday John Smith, aged 47, a mason, employed by Mr Edward Haynes, was working on a building at Barry, when by some means he overbalanced himself, and fell a distance of 15ft., injuring his spine. He was brought to the In- firmary at Cardiff, where he died at 5 p.m. on Wednesday evening. On Wednesday morning, while John Kane (32), residing at 17, Canton-square, was stacking timber at the Docks, he fell from a plank to the ground, a distance of 10 feet, severely injuring his head. He was taken to the Infirmary and detained. On Wednesday John Cunamings, aged 15, living at 11, Buzzard-street, was brought to the Infirmary and detained, suffering from injuries to the head. He had been playing on a stack of pitwood at the West Dock, and fell a distance of about 12 feet.

CLAIMING A SWEETHEART. An incident which occasioned some commotion and amusement occurred on Sunday on board the Cunard liner Servia just before she sailed for New York. A young Irish girl, named Kate Walsh, who has been employed in Birmingham for six years as a telegraph operator, had ern-. barked for America, when she was confronted by, her sweetheart, a Birmingham provision merchant named Feely. He begged her to leave the ship and return with him, as he was prepared to marry her. She consented, but reproached hiD4- saying, You were very nearly too late. Yotf should have asked me before."

The large white scab on the top of his head became loose and fell off in less than two days after applica- tion of the soap and ointment. The itching of his arms and leg was something dreadful, and ne used to tear himself until he bled awfully. The first niffht we applied the CCTICURA, after washing him with the soap, the little fellow received instant relief and slept soundly all through the night, for the first time for two years and a half. The people that saw him only four weeks ago are greatly astonished at the wonderful efficacy of your CUTICURA REMEDIES. They are worth their weight in gold. RICHARD BOND, 11, Victoria-sq., Cazneau-st., Liverpool. My poor sick little boy, the doctor told me, would probably never get better. But when I saw what the CUTICURA REMEDIES did for my sister's girl, I tried it, and in a few weeks he was quite well. His skin is beautiful, whereas before he was scabs from head to foot. He is now a fine, healthy boy. MRS ALLEN, Cambo, Crail, Fife. SLEEPLESS FROM BAD ECZEMA. SLEEPLESS FROM BAD ECZEMA. Two years ago I had a very severe attack of eczema in my hands and face.

SATURDAY, O'CTOBEB 25, 1890. THE MARQUIS AND THE MAYORALTY. THE acceptance by the Marquis of Burs of the Mayoralty of Cardiff for the ensuing year is not only unique in the history of the town, but in municipal records. We believe that never before has a peer been chief magistrate of any town in the United Kingdom. Now that the precedent has been established, it is to be hoped that it will be followed. A closer intercourse between the House of Lords and the people cannot fail to be of advantage to both. Un- fortunately, it has been the habit of those in the higher ranks of society to regard municipal life as something infra dig., and in consequence they have strenuously refused to under- take those duties which their birth and position called upon them to do. And this exclusiveness has permeated that class which was permitted to touch, as it were, the fringe of the so-termed "upper ten." It was not good form to be a councillor, or an alderman, and the offices were treated with contempt. Nevertheless, it is not the boroughs which have been the greater sufferers by this hauteur. It is often said that the corporate bodies do not secure the best men, but the truth of this depends upon the definition of "best men." If by this phrase is meant those individuals who associate with those, or are born to high estate it is probably correct, but if it means that corporations are not composed of the best business men it is no doubt wrong. The management of a town involves many petty details which men of education or of huge commercial ventures are apt to look upon as beneath their consideration. It is, perhaps, too much to expect that the owner of a large estate will trouble himself much about the fixing of a lamp-post, or the settlement of a small tender, when he leaves such matters as these to his agent, and naturally he would be inclined to throw up his office with dis- gust if the ratepayers were to ask for an explanation why he had voted for a larger expenditure than was needful incgome trifling matter that had been connected with it or privately would haver deemed it too insig- nificant to think about. But the small things of life are the great things, and it is absolutely .require, if the^ rates are not to become burdensome, that this spirit of minuteness should prevail. It is quite true that great fortunes are built up by taking care of the pence, and as a rule the founders of their own fortunes are generally available for the government of, their towns. But the sons of these millionaires having been to college, and having always been accustomed to deal in thousands, acquire the feelings of the class amongst which they have been educated, and., decline to be troubled or tied with the burdens of munici- pal life. As we have pointed out they are, as a rule, unsuited for the position, and in refusing to assume the cares of civic office do themselves more harm than the town. But in refusing to "humble their "mind" or to undergo the annoyances which are inseparable from entering a cor- poration, they are widening the gulf which should not exist between them and those who are in a lowlier condition, and must not be surprised to find that the masses knowing nothing about them should be convinced that they are an incumbrance, and as such ought to be removed from the face of the earth. Cardiff although it owes most of its prosperity to. r the wisdom of this and the preceding tylarquis of BUTE, is practically unacquainted with either father or son. If the MARQUIS were to walk down the street to-morrow three-fourths of the population would not recognise him. Can he wonder then that when the House of Lords comes to be attacked the vote of the borough, which ought to be devoted to him, will be given against his interests. Remem- bering these things we welcome the decision that during a year which will be notable in Cardiff the Marquis of BUTE has deter- mined to fill that post to which his wealth and his station entitle him. Lord BUTE is a scholar, and the principal cause for which his fellow burgesses have solicited him to represent them is to receive one of the most learned societies in the world. Amid that galaxy of erudi- tion Lord. BUTE will be by no means dwarfed, and ^Cardiff may remain satisfied that the address with which he will welcome the British Association will be worthy of the occasion. We would desire to say something upon the good feeling which will accrue by this> acceptance, but space presses. Depend upon it, though, that neither Lord BUTE nor the- ratepayers will regret that both have had- the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with each other.

MR GLADSTONE'S LATEST. THIS week, Mr GLADSTONE addresses his Midlothian Constituents. He is, 'however, by no moans forgetful of the fact that though he nominally addresses only the audiences at his meetings, he is really speaking to- the whole of the electors of the United Kingdom. The message he has to deliver in Scotland is a message which as intimately affects the interests of England, Ireland, and Wales. As might have been expected he has given the first place to the Irish question. In doing this he has disappointed no one. There were special reasons quite apart from the intrinsic importance of the Irish question why he should give it just now every prominence. Had there been any flagging of interest in the condition of the sister isle, the dramatic incidents of the past few days would have been more than sufficient to revive it. There were the Tipperary riots, the unconstitutional and impudent arrest of Mr PATRICK O'BRIEN at Cardiff, the indictment of the Irish members, the protest against Mr SHANNON, who had been in personal collision with some of the defen dants, being allowed to sit as their judge, the dramatic pcape of Mr JOHN DILLON and Mr WILLIAM O'BRIEN, the cruel persecution of Mr MAHONEY when too ill to attend the court, the qoipmittal of Mr SHBEHY, M.P., for alleged contempt of court, the applica- tion for, and the refusal of, a summons against Mr BALFOUR, the expected appearance of Mr JOHN MORLEY as a witness and to crown with comedy a drama which had no little of the tragic element in it, the wired instruc- tions from Mr BALFOCP. to withdraw the prosecutions for riot! All these things com- bined lent an additional interest to what Mr GLADSTONE might have to say on Irish questions. There will be no two opinions among the Liberal party as to the views Mr GLADSTONE, expressed at Edinburgh on Tuesday. Seldom has there been a graver indictment of any Ministry than that which he brought forward against the present Government. The charges, grave as they are, will be endorsed by the great, mass of the electors of the kingdom, and by none more heartily than by the people of Wales. Still Wales ex- pected, and expects, the Midlothian speeches to contain a reference to questions more inunediatelyaffecting her interests. The EX-PKEMIEK. has said that Ireland blocks the way, and that nothing, be it great or be it small, shall be allowed to interfere with the settlement of the great Irish question. But, grantiBg.all this, there is no reason why other questions, which are as important to Wales as Home Rule is to Ireland, should be completely ignored. As our London corres- pondent this week points out, the questions of Disestablishment and Federated Home Rule are questions upon which the country has a right -to expect a declaration from Mr j GLADSTONE. We write before the Midlothian I campaign is over, and before the series of speeches which the greatest statesman of the age is to deliver has been concluded. We can thus pass no comment upon the refer- ences he may make to these questions. We would, however, emphasize once more what we have said on many previous occasions, that if Mr GLADSTONE wishes to sweep the board in Wales, he must use two brushes, those of Home Rule and Disestablishment. The brush of Home Rule alone will not clear Toryism from the Welsh constituencies. Let him use the brush of Disestablishment with it, and Toryism—so far as representing Wales in Parliament is concerned—will be only a memory of the past.

A SENSIBLE APPOINTMENT. Tha Cardiff Board of Guardians are io be congratulated on having attached weight to the ability, to speak Welsh as a quali- fication for the post of resident medical officer. Though Cardiff is probably as Anglicized ,as., any town in Wales, it still contains a very large proportion of Welsh- speaking inhabitants, while it is safe to say that the majority of the new comers belong to that category. Outside Cardiff, in the district covered by the Union, there is a larger percentage of Welsh-speaking popula- tion than is to be found in the town itself. Now we think it is not only a perfectly safe, but a healthy principle not to ignore the native tongue of the principality in making all public appointments within its borders. We do not say that ignorance of that language should be regarded in every instance—though undoubtedly in some- as an absolute disqualification. But we do say that in every public appointment in Wales acquaintance with Welsh shauld have importance attached to it. This does not mean that a man must be appointed because he is a Welshman, but "it means that jf otherwise qualified a man who knows Welsh should have preference *over one who does not. We should define a knowledge of Welsh as meaning such an acquaintance with the native language as would enable an official to communicate with the Welsh-speaking population without on the one hand necessitating the interven- tion of an interpreter, or on the other compelling those who can better explain their ideas in Welsh to speak in English. In every case such an ability should be regarded as an additional qualification for such appointments, and in some cases we would go further and say that it is a neces- sary and indispensable qualification. We presume that neither Mr RICHARD CORY nor Mr RAMSDALE, who insisted at the meeting of the Board on the views we have just stated, would be Tegarded as bigoted Welsh Nationalists. But for this very reason their en- dorsement of the principle is the more gratifying. That the views they enunciated were shared by the majority of the guardians is proved by the fact that the Welsh-speak- ing candidate was elected by a majority of more than two to one. We congratulate the guardians on the common sense they dis- played, and cite their action as an example that should be generally followed. In con- gratulating Dr WILLIAMS on his appointment it is hardly necessary to remind him that he owes his appointment to his knowledge of Welsh, inasmuch as, so far as the other qualifications were concerned, his rivals stood on an equality with him. There is in this incident a lesson which those who seek public appointments in Wales might well lay to heart.

THE LIVING OF TREVETHIN. At a meeting of the congregations attending Trevethin, St. James's, and the parish churches, it was decided to memorialise the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff to appoint the Rev. J. L. Clougher, B.A., rector of Goytrey, to the living of Trevethin, rendered vacant by the death of the late Rev. J. C. Llewellin. Mr Clougher was formerly one of the curates at Trevethin, and it is believed his appointment would give general satisfaction.

MINISTERIAL.— Mr D. L. Jenkins, a student at Trevecca College, has received a unanimous and hearty call from Newbridge, Mon., a newly- formed church with exceedly good prospects.

The mortal remains of Mr Josiah Lewis, Ty'ny- cymmer, Rhondda Valley, were on Thursday conveyed, amid manifestations of sincere regret and general mourning, from Caermawr House, Cymmer, where the deceased passed away, and interred in the family vault in the old parish churchyard of Llantrisant. The departed gentle- man had during his long career of 64 years taken a most prominent part in all public movements in the district, having filled a large number of posts of honour in connection with nearly every public boardinthe parish. Owingto hisgenialand generous disposition, he was highly esteemed by all classes of the community, and his funeral was undoubtedly ene of the largest ever seen in the district. The procession, which was considerably over one mile m length, was admirably marshalled by Inspectors Jones (Porth), Rutter (Treher- bert), and a force of constables, while all the arrangements in connection with the funeral were carried out without a hitch under the super- intendence of Messrs J. Evans and Co., Ponty- pridd, assisted by Mr Davies, of the Aberdavau Post-office. The body was enclosed in a shell, inserted in a wooden coffin, the outer coffin being of highly polished Welsh oak, with heavy brass furniture. The breast-plate contained the in- scription :— JOSIAH LEWIS, Born 18th Nov., 1826, Died 17th Oct., 1890. A number of Ty'nycymmer tenants and work- men acted as bearers. At the house the old Welsh hymn, "Yn y dyfroedd mawr ar tonau," was given out by the Rev Lewis Hughes, M.A., Cymmer, and sung with deep fervour by the huge concourse assembled on the lawn. The procession was pre- ceded by a section of the Porth and Cymmer Choral Society, who, under the conductorship of Mr Taliesin Hopkins, also sang along the route a number of Welsh hymns appropriate to the sad occasion.

CARDIFF DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL. Munificence of Mr John Cory. Mr Melville, of the Cardiff Deaf and Dumb Institute, Canton, on Thursday morning received the following letter from Mr John Cory, enclosing a cheque for J3156 148 8d to clear off the debt on the school:— Vaindre Hall, St Mellon's, near Cardiff. October 22, 1890. Dear Mr Melville,—Your collector called yesterday for my annual subscription, and handed me your last report, by which I regret to see there is a debt at the end of last year of BI56 148 8d. I think it is a great pity such a good institution as yours Sh01Ùd be ham. pered for the want of funds, and especially as you and Mrs Melville have for so many years given your whole time without any pecuniary recompense and as I am sure this large debt must be pressing very heavily on you, I send you my cheque for the amount so as to clear it off. I do this with the hope that all the sub- scribers will double their subscriptions, so that you may have no lack of funds in the future. I shall be pleased to double my subscription, and make it ten guineas per annum instead of five as in the past; and if you will send me a receipt for five guineas will send you cheque for that sum, so that the increase may commence from this year.—Yours sincerely, JOHN CORY.

DR PARRY'S ARIANWEN AT LLANELLY. The unqualified success which attended the Eroduction of Dr Parry's pretty Arianwen at ilanelly a few months back was such as to induce him to promise a second visit. Mr Mendelssohn Parry's Welsh Opera Company accordingly re-appeared on Wednesday night at the Athenaeum Hall, and were accorded a hearty reception by a splendid audience. It is needless to state that the characters were ably sustained, Mr Llewellyn Lloyd as Digri and Miss Hannak M. Jones as Beggi eliciting unstinted applause. The company will continue their performances at the hall till Saturday night.

THE TIPPERARY TRIALS. Summonses Dismissed. 'After the hearing of Father Humphrey's case the court was constituted under the Crimes Act, and Mr Morphy formally applied for the dismissal, without prejudice, of ^THE summonses for assault against Mr Harrison, M.P., and others. The learned counsel stated that it was the intention of the Crown to take proceedings for having the cases tried before the assizes. Mr Redmond com- plained of the inconvenience to which the defen- dants and their witnesses had been put, and Mr O'Connor spoke strongly on the subject. The summonses were dismissed.

ALMANAC Y GWEITHWR. Among the new and cheaper ventures of recent years, few will compare with the above cheap almanac for the people. It is a veritable multvm in parvo, reflecting the highest credit upon the compiler. It contains a varied selection of witty, racy, and humorous tit-bits, in poetry and prose, together with a mass of useful in- formation in a condensed and well digested form. One of its leading features is a list of all the fairs held in Wales throughout the year, and arranged on a better system than any we have yet seen. Though published at the nominal pnce of a penny, it may be obtained gratis from the Quinine Bitters Manufacturing Company, or any of their agents.

————_ !UU ——— A STRANGEB arriving at Cardiff, after an absence of a few years, and walking down St. Mary-street on his way from the Great Western Station, would hardly recognize the street. On every side handsome and lofty stone buildings have taken the place of small and mean shops, and clothiers, drapers, and ironmongers who had. thrived in modest establishments have EXPANDED into gigantic plate-glass fronts. By no means the | largest, but certainly one of the most attractive and tastefully-dressed windows, is that of Messrs Watkins and Son, of Golden Sunlight Ale cele- brity, whose speciality haa taken such hold upon public favour that it is now sold for family use (in casks from gallons upwards, and in screw- stoppered pint bottles) by 15 wholesale Agents in Cardiff and suburbs, besides 30 grocers and wine merchants in other parts of Wales. 13409—1132

A Great Amalgamation Scheme. Negotiations have, during the past few days, been on foot with the object of bringing about a fusion of fch§ interests of the Bute Docks Company, the Taff Yale Railway Company, and Barry Dock and Railways Company and these have so far progressed that we are able to announce that an attempt will be made to effect a union of the several undertakings. With the Taff Vale Railway would, of course, be included the Penarth Dock so that the whole of the Cardiff Docks, with the two chief local railways, would be involved. It does not appear that the Rhymney Railway is as yet within the scheme, although there is reason to believe that an extension of the project bringing this undertaking also into the sphere of operation may be made. Seeing that Barry and Bute stock is at so high a premium, the total amount of capital involved is about sixteen millions sterling. For the last 25 years we have advocated the formation of a public Trust upon lines similar to those of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Board, whereby the traders of the port of Liverpool have been able from time to time both to provide fully for the business of the port, and at the same time to secure for the public any profit that might arise in the conduct of the business, as well as to protect them- selves from arbitrary or inconsiderate treat- ment on the part of dock-owners. Any such Trust established in Cardiff would, of course, be representative of all the commercial and industrial interests of the locality, as well as local authorities, such as the Cardiff Town Council, and of all who are affected by the working of the docks and railways. It is manifest that the welfare of every individual resident in. the borough of Cardiff, and of tens of thousands in the valleys, is bound up in the success and proper administration of the dock and railway properties. This being so, all inhabitants of the district have direct con- cern in the prosperity or otherwise of these undertakings and their interest would be best served by the establishment of a Trust. Just prior to the Barry undertaking being launched, an effort was made by the Cardiff Corporation to bring about such a fusion as would result in the forma- tion of the public trust but, unfortunately, at that time such strong feeling was preva- lent on both sides as to render futile any negotiations with this object, and conse- quently the proposals then submitted were not gone into. We may regard the new project as a step in the right direction. While the Bute Docks, held practically by a single individual, are in no wise under public control, and while the Taff Vale Railway Company with its numerous shareholders has wider scope, the gentlemen who com- prise the Barry directorate represent fully the various industries of the dis- trict. Therefore any such combination of the three undertakings as that now sug- gested, will doubtless lead to the establish- ment of a thoroughly representative ruling authority. At any rate, the constitution of the governing body under the amalgamation must of necessity be such as to prevent injury to any branch of business in the district. It is, however, impossible to avoid a feel- ing that the promoters, having gone so far, are only showing the desirability of going still further, and of establishing that which must in the end be brought about, namely, a fully representative public Harbour Trust. It is understood that overtures for union originated with the Bute Trustees but it has been anticipated that the recent common action of the different boards of directors upon the strike dispute would have the effect of establishing relations upon a better foot- ing, although popular idea was that the out- come would be an agreement to raise the rate for carrying coal. And this leads to the next point. So far as deliverance from the evils of monopoly are concerned, it is maintained that the constitution of a united board would include full represent- ation for all interests affected, and that by fixing maximum rates at a much lower figure than present maximums, although probably at a figure somewhat liigher than Barry present charges, no injury to commerce or industry will be wrought. The fixing of low rates will, we have reason to believe, form an indispensable condition of any agreement, there being all the old antagonism prevalent against any- thing which might prove restrictive of trade. [FROM THE "SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS."] CARDIFF is apparently destined to tumble now and again into fits of amalgamation. Seldom do events settle down long into the ordinary groove but some new project springs up after another, offering to effect an amalgamation. At one time it was the Taff Vale Railway and the Bute Docks. This was the last form in which it made a serious effort to array itself, but the project fell through after one or two attempts at holding the various parts together. The present proposal is only as yet in its infancy, but there cannot be any doubt as to its bona fides. The promoters of the scheme con- template the amalgamation of the various local railway and dock interests in the neigh- bourhood of Cardiff so as to secure the land- owners, freighters, and the public all those benefits which were contended for by the Barry Dock and Railway Company in those memorable struggles which some years ago divided Cardiff into two hostile parties, and decided more than one or two municipal contests. The project has not yet been sufficiently unfolded, and too little of its details has been laid bare to justify a very dogmatic expression of opinion upon it, but the readers of this journal know that it is many years since we urged by every argu- ment we could employ the formation of a Harbour Trust, in which every local interest should be adequately represented, and by which docks and railways should be con- structed at Cardiff to meet all the demands of the rapidly growing port. It may readily be believed, then, that any schme which will realise this proposal, or even go some considerable distance towards realising it, will have our most hearty support. What we have hitherto set our faces against, and what we shall still set our faces against, is monopoly. Anything that would practically have the tendency to place the interests of Cardiff in the grasp of one hand or one huge monopoly, must be resisted to the death, but whatever will tend to remove asperities, to promote friendly feeling, and draw the entire communities of Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry into one common cause, will have our united support. It was only the other day while we were congratulating Cardiff on having obtained Lord BUTE'S con- sent to accept the Mayoralty, we pointed to the probability of such a scheme having been adopted many years ago, to the great advantage of every one realising its un- speakable benefits. There appears to be a strong disposition, not only to bury the hatchet, but even to bury its shadow. There is more and more every day a strong feeling manifesting itself in favour of friendly co-operation, from which every one will share some benefit. We hope, therefore, that the reference to the people of Cardiff in the outlines of the scheme admits ol an interpretation strict enough to include the interests of the tow-nof Cardiff and its County Council in a very substantial manner. We should not like to see any interest of first-class importance left out in the cold. A generous, open-handed scheme of amalgamation, free from the objections to which a monopoly would be open, would be well worthy. of favourable consideration and early adoption.

A PATHETIC APPEAL. WOODSTOCK, Tuesday.—Mrs Birchall issued the following appeal to-day asking for clemency for her husband :— TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. May I ask you to sign the petition for the commuta- tion of my husband's sentence. I shall indeed fed deeply and truly grateful if you will help me to save him from the terrible doom which awaits him. FLORENCE BIRCHALL. This pathetic appeal is said to have touched the breasts of the people as no other has done in the history of the colony, and will, it ia thought, secure many signatures.

PROSECUTION OF SAL- VATIONISTS. At Eastbourne petty-sessions on Monday, Staff Captain Appleby, of the Salvation Army, was summoned by the corporation under a section of the bye-laws prohibiting Sunday musical pro- cessions. Mr Colam, for the defendant, ques- tioned the interpretation of the bye-laws consti- tuting the orimmal offence. The bench fined Appleby £3 6s. Notice of appeal was given, this being taken as a test case.

A BISHOP ON FREE EDUCATION The Bishop of Chichester, addressing1 the Diocesan Conference on Wednesday, said free education was inevitable in England, and it some consolation to know that it would be carried, by a friendly Government. People must be con- vinced of the necessity of religious education the benefit of retaining voluntary schools. ferring to the Bishop of Lincoln's trial, Dr Durnford said he saw an injustice in the Arch bishop sitting in judgment on a bishop.

THE PRINOE OF WALES AND ABERYSTWITH COLLEGE. According to Lord Aberdare, it is not impos- sible that the Prince of Wales may be induced to opeft the new buildings of the Aberystwit College.
