THE SHIPTON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
THE SHIPTON RAILWAY ACCIDENT. [special teljeokam.] The inquest was resumed yesterday morning. LdwakD HtJTLEB, a policeman in the employ of the Company, said he was sta'tioned at a level crossing haif- a-mils from Woodstock Koad Station, when the train to which the accident huppened passed on Christmas-Eve, he was standing on the up line and caieiully looked at the train. He noticed nothing whatever wrong. Mr. Joseph ABMSxaoXG, Chief Ol the Locomotive De- partment and Carriage ^superintendent of the Company, said it was not the practice to have side chains on to carriages and to tenders, and his opinion it was not desirable. It was safer to have to pud of any vehicles from the centre. His feeling was rather in favour of tour wheal coaches, but when there was a long carriage it was desirable to have six wheels. There were about 2.1,000 passanger carriages in this country and less than 4,UOO were six wheel carriages. In running over points, angle crossings, or over sharp curves, four wheels were safest. £ >ome companies who had usid six-wheel carriages had leveed to lour wheels. lie hal seen portions the board work of carriage number Sb>. -it was re- remarkably good. Up to 1874 some of the railways bau been fixing iheir moss important engine wheels on same mode as that adopted in maiang the w ie number 845. Various experiences had been. ,j )je improve tiie mode of fastening wheels, but it with mo.-t unwise, with a large stock, to ^eep a tjre jiad every fresh invention.

MThe ditference temperature between thy i'Jth and 21tli would account for the breaking of the tier. A county Juror reminded the witness that they had evidence from the Observatory showing that the tem- perature was very steady for several hours on the day. of the accident. By a Juror I liav'nt the slightest doubt as to the soundness of the tier before it broke. If this carriage 845 had had six wheels, do you think that accident would have happened?—A carriage of this kind with six wheels would nave been a source of danger. That is not the question. If the carriage had been a six-wh°eled carriage would that accident have happened ? —Well, the six-wheeled carriage following number 845 was smashed, as well as the four- wheeled. That is not an ianswer.Th, damage might have been less but the carriage would I' sve gone off the line. A juror I should like the opinion of engine-.smiths as to the fracture. Mr. Armstrong is very clever, but he is the theoretical man.—Mr. Webster said he should call further evidence on the point. Mr Jones: although you approve of four wheels you have abandoned making them?—My individual opinion was in favour of four wheels, but that was over-rated. You Bay too that you approve of the mode of having fastenings used III number 845, Uut that has been aban- doned?—We have adopted Gibson's fastenings for iron wheels. and for wooden wheels. Well, but if frost is so destructive, it is impartial. Had you any other wheels breaking ?—There was an accident in .Scotland a few days ago. A tire broke and flew off into a field. A Midland engine threw its tire the other day. 'i'lie injured passenger, Charles Proctor, was then ex- amined by the Coroner.—I travelled third class. I got into a carriage next the engine. It consisted of four compartments. I got into the second from the engine. There were four others in the compartment. I sat with my face to the engiue close to the door, as nothing attracted my attention until I passed the mile post. I tound a shaking in the carriage, X passengers to pull the cord. They did not understand me I think. 1 crossed to the windows and pulled the cord. I did not hear the gong sound. I aoi sure 1 laid hold of the cord. I gave it a violent pull with both hands. I then heard the driver blow his break whistle. 1 rom the time I first felt the shaking until I heard the whistle it would be about 15 seconds. I felt the carriage go on one aide towards the telegraph wires. The next ,thil1 I can remember is seeing a gt.nl lexii.t-tI at Woodstucic Koad Station stopping a train leaving there. -What had become of you and the carriage between I do not recollect anything. I was unconscious until I got near Woodstock iioad. I was theu walking. I did not the n )Or of ttio carriage broken up. James Macconnel, a practical engineer of great ex- perience, said that the broken tires were good. If the wheel cracked in the night and had been tapped in the morning this accident would not have happened. The Court then adjourned till Thursday next.
THOMAS STEPHENS.
THOMAS STEPHENS. The remains of thomas Stephens, the distinguished author of the Literature of the Cymry, and other works of great merit, were yesterday interred ia the beautiful cemetery near ,< Jefncoedycymifttr, by the rugged Taff, and amidst the lomantic scenery of l>rec>ushire—a fit resting place for a true son of "Uwyilt Waiia." Mr Stephens was not an ordinary man. His extraordinary abilities and fine character will be more and better appieciated in ages to come thau they were during his lifetime. Like all truly great men Stephens was modest and unassuming, and was tht-refore unobserved by the crowd but the obser- vant critic-saw his real worth, and admired his rare abili- ties and splendid literary achievements. He engaged the friendship of the late Chevalier I'iunsen, one of the greatest scholars of his day. That distinguished man said of the essay, Ou Trial by Jury, for which Stephens t'btaujt.d the prize at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod iu a, that it was one of the finest wnv' s he had read, and th« a *'°Pe that he would becoue acquainted with fcretit *•" ■kadsr CharlotteSchreibei (alady whohasdone of SteT-v.rV*ce lo ^7ales) was a great friend and admirer ^tet-<xtui>nSf an(^ was through h v liberality that the f d'nitted i-$e KW*ry was jjub' e.l.

Cltll lis AND IRON TRADE. I ALLEGED INTIMIDATION AT MOUNTAIN ASH. WORK RESUMED AT CWMAMAN. EXPECTED SETTLEMENT AT EBBW VALE. THREATENING LETTERS AT TRivHEtlBEilT. THEIIERBERT, FRIDAY. Threatening letters have been posted in different parts of this place, directing those now working at tie Bute Colliery to cease work at once, or else they will be driven out of the "Valley with violence. The general feeling of the place is much against such conduct, and there is a hope expressed that the offenders will be brought to justice. (FROU OUIt SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) TiiEDEGAK, Friday. Every day brings additional numbers to an acceptance of the le iuction. The Merthyr and Uowlais districts are toliowed speedily by Tredecar, aud the men of Ebbw Vale are expected to find their way to the cool realms of reason before to-morrow. In consequence of the action the men at that place evincir g 110 disposition to resume Work, the manager, two days since ordered the blowing out of the furnaces, as stated in the columns ot the South Wales Daily Nacs, and before long the last of tho<e splendid furnaces, near the offices, which is now emitting its bright ilaoies abroar1, will have exhausted it fiery contents. The blowing process appears to save had trie same t-ifct on the men of Ebbw Vale as that which characterised the men of Dowlais as soon as the earnestness of the manager was indicated by suddenly glowing furnaces for I am in- formed that several men waited on Mr. Richards, the excellent manager of Ebbw Vale, this morning, asking that the furnaces might be saved but a negative reply was returned, not that Mr. Richards—wh» entertains a hi rh opinion of his men—was indisposed to give employ- ment, or to exact undue terms but from that nnwel- comed fact which is registered in every South Wales office at this momerit-" no orders." Not a single order can be received just now, and a further indication of this is fouud in the fact that orders have been issued to stay any further profitless consumption of fuel at Puntypool and Abersychan. In short, whatever settlement is now come to with respect to the colliers, there is an imme- diate prospect of that unwelcomed condition of things diate prospect of that unwelcomed condition of things for the poor ironworkers which has been pit dieted in 1 these columns of late with as much force as another notoriously misguiding print has tried'to persuade men to the contrary. T. At Tredegar the colliers have partially resumed work the whole of them would anxiously have done so, but the movement was rendered impx-acLicabie until those neces- sary channels of ventilation, &c., had been safely assured. These preliminary arrangements are uow complete, and to-morrow morning all liands will be at their stalls. Here, again, the iron trade is practically nil, there are no orders, and intense anxiety iiffiicts the more sober- thinking section of the_ community, as to what must in- evitably ensue. Despite the issue of trade circulars, which cannot be couched in favour of capital, any mitre than labour men still look to their employers as if they were not subject to the exigencies of trade and can see no reason tor either a reduction of wages ,or stoppage of works. Were any want of credence manifested in the serious facts I am about to set forth, I shall be happy to more authoritatively satisfy any dubious mind that a letter of advice was received from a London broker this morning, in which he sai s, I have been soliciting orders for rails unsuccessfully, at £6 15s per ton." The document goes on to say tnat a contract for 28.000 tons of rails from a former customer had now gone to a Belgian firm, at thirty shillings per ton less than the cost of manu- facture here. The difference iu this item represents no less a sum than £ 42.000. '1 here is no probability of the blast furnaces being re-lighted during the next three months. (special telegram.) MitRTHYK, Friday EVENING. Intelligence has reached here to the eflect that the men of Ebb Vale have decided to go U work. If correct, this will very probably set an example to Blaenavon, and from that district to Aberdare all the collieries connected with ironworks may, on Monday next, resume opera- tions in full swing. It is stated that the non-dissentients pits at Blackwood, Cwmaaian, and elsewhere, not con- nected with the Coal Owners' Association, are doing the double shift, aurl should there be a continuance of hos- tilities amongst the others a rich monopoly will be en joyed. I hear that there has been a great exodus of workmen to-day from the Rhondda Valley, and that they are making their way to Somersetshire and the north of England. EBBW VALE, Friday. The report in the South Wales Daily NCICS of the divided action of the Tredegar men yesterday, in reference to resuming work, has had a marked and decided effect on the action of our colliers, who, up to to-day, have stood true to their Union pledge but n >w, observing the Dowlais, Rhynney, and i'redegar men ia a body deserting them, they begin to think that it is perfectly futile for them to attempt further resistance to the re- ductiod. It is quite probable, from what we can glean from several old colliers to-day, that to-morrow a deter- mination will be arrived at by the great body of the colliers to resume work sgain on Monday t bat is, to use the words of one of them, "If we shall." Should they decide to resume work on Monday, I fully believe that Mr. Richards, the popular manager of those great works, will not throw any obstacle in the way, as he feels that a general resumption of active operations will be the means of saving a vast amount of privation and suffering, and such a course would be hailed with exultant joy by thousands iu this valley. It can hardly be expected that the colliers of this vailpy should stand about in idleness, and there by deprive thdr families of comforts when these fellows have deserted them .¡y giving way all along the line," and resuming work at nearly every great hill centre of the coal trade. The blowing out is being proceeded wilb to-day as yesterday, and if no counter orders be issued soon all the furnaces will be blank out," it is taid, by Sunday.

George Sliorthouse (25), Kohert bhorthouse 22) axd Patrick McCarthy, haulier, were indicted for unlawfully and maliciousiy wounding one David Webber, at Llan- trisant, on the 14th of December. Mr H. Allen pro- secuted. There had, it appeared, been a race between Webber and another man in the day, and in the evening they met at a public house, where George Sliorthouse had a quarrel with an old mail, a friend of Webber. Webber told him to be quiet, as his friend was a much oider man than Shorthouse was. George Shorthouse then isaid, Wait, you b—, till I get outside, and then I'll do you." Afterwards they left, and when Webber lefthe found prisoners outside. Georg e Shorthouse struck him a violent blow which knocked him down, and then Robert Shorthouse came up and kicked him several times on the head and about the body. He also struck him violently with a btone on the head which he held in his hand. Robert Shorthouse while on the ground knelt on him, and with his finger attempted to gouge out his left eye. McCarthy came up during the struggle and said, '"Now let's finish the b- He kicked complainant very severely on the head and about the body, and the wounds on the head were all of them inflicted by McCarthy. George Shorthouse also beat him very much and kicked. They held him down on the ground for eight or ten minutes, when he succeeded in getting up and ran away, followed by Robert Shorthouse, but com- plainant escaued by getting through a cmvert uftder the railway, and there Robert would not follow him. He was attended on the following day by Mr Jones, surgeon, and for a week was unable to leave the house, and was still suffering seriously from injuries he then received. The surgeon described the injuries iiifheted aa of a very serious nature, and those given by MaCarthy wrre more serious than the others.be jury found them guilty, and they were sentenced-George Shorthouse, who had been previously convicted, to two years hard labour, Robert Shorthouse to one year's hard labour, and Mc Carthy to eighteen months hard labour. UNLAWFUL AND MALICIOUS WOUNDING. Robert Hunt, a young man, was indicted for unlaw- fully and maliciously inflicting upon Daniel lhomas grievous bodily harm, by striking him with a poker at Elan twit Vardre, on the 19th of December last Mr. B. T. Williams prosecuted, and Mr. Dunn defended the prisoner. 'L he parties were drinking in a public-house on the evenin- of the 19th of December, and the complainant after some'words, said he could fight as well as run. Ihe prisoner taunted him, and the complainant struck him a blow with the back of his hand on the mouth. Tue pri- soner, it was alleged, was at the time standing by the fire, and took up the poker, with which he struck the complainant a very violent blowou-the head, knocking him down, and rendering him lnsensiblejor a time. Several witnesses were called on each side, and those for the defence denied that a poker was used, but, that a struggle Zl place between the complaman andi the^Pr~ a;jti that in that, struggle the parties fell to the eiround the complainant striking his head on an iron fender and this blow caused the wound which was alleged to have been cQmmitted by the prisoner withjhe poker. There was cousiderable conflicting evidence in the case, and the iury retired to consider their verdict, and atter an ab- sence of an hour returned a verdict of guilty, but recom- mended him to mercy 011 the belief that he had received provocation from the complainant. He was sentenced to four months'imprisonment with hard labour. (Before Mr R. O. Jones and Mr. E. S. Hill.) TWOPEYNYWORTH OF WESTERN MAILS."

He opened L seven of them, and ceunted the numbers of copies of the Western Mail they contained, and closed them up as before, and did not lose sight, he said, of the bundle until the prisoner took it and put it into the mail cart. One of these bundles wl8 addressed to Mr. David Jenkins, postmaster, Treherbert. and contained forty- two copies of the Mad- He carefully put the copies of the Western Mad back into the bundle and tied it up as it was before.

CARMARTHENSHIRE.
CARMARTHENSHIRE. (Before Mr Giffard, Q.C.) The Court sat for the trial of prisoners at Llandilo on Friday. The Chairman, Mr Hardinge S. Giffard, Q C and the Deputy Chairman, Sir Juo. Mausel, Bart., were upon the Bench. The learned Chairman, in charging the Grand Juty, said there was an absence of crimes of violence, of which unfortunately, there were a great number about the country; and there was a tendency in many minds to devise some new means of checking them. He was of opinion that, where persons were so far regardless of social duty as to cruelly iiltreat their neighbours, they should be appealed to by the only feelings of which they were capable. He was therefore in favour of inflicting the lash upon those persons who were so totally regardless of the sufferings of others. He believed in this County the magistrates were almost unanimously of opinion that some stringent measures should be adopted for the repres- sion of crimes of brutal violence, but fortunately no such cases would come before the court to-day. APPEAL CASE. LANDER v. Kichauds. This was a case of appeal by Mr. William Lawrence Lander, Inland Revenue Oifice, against a decision of the Newcastle Emlyn magistrates, upon a summons issued against the respondent John Richards, landlord of the Atose and Crown Inn, and a corn merchant of Newcastle Emlyn, charging him with using a car- riage that should have been licensed, but which was not. Mr. Lascelles and Mr. Bewen Rowlands appeared on behalf of the appellant, and Mr. Bear, in- structed by Mr. J. H. Evans, for the respondent. The case on behalf of the appellant was that the cart was better than those used ordinarily for the purposes of trade, and t hat on the 4th April last the respondent was seen driving Mr. Lewis, tue postmaster, into Newcastle Emlyn, past Mr. Lander's house. The answer to this was that the cart was being used for trade purposes at the time, and that the respondent had only given his friend, I Mr. Lewis, a lift in going into the town. The order of the magistrates, dismissing the summons against Richards, was confirmed. HOUSEBREAKING. Thomas Evans, a labourer, was charged with breaking I into a house at Llandebie, and stealing a shirt.—Mr. Bowen Rowlands conducted the case.—A verdict of guilty was returned, and prisoner was sentenced to nine 1 mouths' with hard labour.

[Several farmers spoke in Uvour of an alteration, but on a show tf hands the majority were neuter. It was then engg-sted by the Chairman that the sub- ject be left to the decision of a subsequent meeting, to be called for the purpose. Some capital songs were sung by Messrs Lewis 0 awes), J. Krizell (l/langwathau), Leonard (Atill Cot- i-age), John Gibbon (Kilrath), and a pleasant evening was spent. Itwas a notable fact that not one tradesman from the town, except the Secretary, attended _ti>e. meeting, it would be to their interest to show a derive loi e success of the society.
J CARDIFF.
J CARDIFF. Death of a Prisoner. —An inquest was held at tbe County Gaol yesterday afternoon, upon the body of Jotn Jury, a collier, aged 48 years. The deceased was a pri- soner, who was sentenced by the Pontypridd m.t gist rites on the 24th December to a month's impri^ninent. The deceased was tak-n ill soon after his admission to the gaol, and died on Wednesday from an attack of diarrhce t and inflammation of the lungs. A verdict was returned accordingly. SUDDEN DEATH OF A Child.—.An inquest was held yeaterday afternoon at the Cottage Hotel, Adamsdown, upon the body of Mary Emma Ailen, a child of six months, and belonging to John Allen, mason. The ciuld was apparently quite well when put to bed on Thursday night, but during the night it became uneasy, and when a light was obtained it was found to have just died. Verdict, "Died from natural causes." Accident AT THE Docks.—On Thursday afternoon a seaman, named Bums, on board the schooner Arran Isle, fell from the upper topmast yard to the deck. He was picked up quite insensible, and lenioved on a stretcher to Dr. Pratt's surgery., where his wounds, which were of a very serious nature, were dressed. He was sub- sequently removed to the Hamadryad Hospital Ship, where he is going on as favourably as p-»s;b!e. VIOLENT AS-SAULT ova AIATE. Ye.te.-(Iay, at the Borough Police-court, before Mr. J. ('ory and Mr. Geo. Bird, Carl Brown, a German, was charged with violently assaulting Lars lhurman. Complain nut stated thr.t he was mate on board the Norwiegan ship, Veranda, which, on the 22nd of December last, was lying in deck at Car- diff. The prisoner, who belonged to the ship, came be- hind him and knocked him down. He fell with his head en an anchor.—A witness called for the prosecution said that The prisoner took; up a capstan bar and struck the mate on the head. A lad bore similar testimony. Dr. A. S. Pratt saw the prosecutor on the 23rd of December in the captain's cabin a about 11 o clock in the morning. He was then complaining or an intense pain in the head. He was sensible, and bure 110 apparent mark of injury. A few days afterwards a yellow mark appeared on the temple, from which it extended to tre right ear. Severe head symp- toms made their appearance, and witness made up his mind that the man would not recover. \y itness was cf opinion that the prosecutor must have received a heavy blow on the shoulders, and that the injuries 011 the head were due to his falling on the anchor. A violent bW on the head with a capstan bar might have Killed him.—Robert Baker, dock constable, took the prisoner into custody, and charged him with the offence. In answer, he ad- mitted that he had struck the mate once with a small capstan bar.—The bar was described by one of the wit- nesses as being about 4ft. 4ll1. in length.— The prisoner was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions.
NEWPOltT.
NEWPOltT. Chamber OF Commerce.—The monthly meeting sf this Chamber was held on Thursday at the Pilotage Office, Dock Street. Mr. T. B. Batchelor presided. There was a small attendance. The minutes of last meeting having be"n read and confirmed, a number of papers and documents received during the month were placed upon the table. On the motion of Mr. West, it was resolved to appoint a reference committee, to consist of Mr. O. Goss, Mr. J. tferrill, and Mr. West, to whom all papers should be referred-the committee to examine and report upon the same, and, if necesssry, to convene special meetings for the consideration of important ques- tions. S everzl 'circulars had been received from the Association of Chambers of Commerce, bearing upon matters which would come before them for discussion at the annual meeting to be held at the Westminster Palace Hotel, on the 23rd, 21th, and 25th of February next. Other circulars and papers were read, and received con- sideration, but involved no question of urgent importance. Arising out of an observation by the Chairman, Mr. West referred at some length to the anomalous conditiou of the Bank Charter Act, 1844, and the necessity that existed for altering the present state of things. He sug- gested that this Chamber should support any project for obtaining a Royal Commission to thoroughly investigate the working and operations of the Bank Act. The views enunciated by Mr. West were fully endorsed by the meeting. After disposing of some miscellaneous busi- ness, the proceedings terminated.

J A RECIPE FOR STRIKES. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. Sir, At the present crisis any serious propnsal. for putting an end to strikes should receive attention froia every economist, and especially from every philanthro- pist. let us glance a moment at the evils they entail, Ytiut stated in a leader for Friday last that 100,000 men would be rendered idle by the strike. Fortunately, its magnitude has belied that rromise. Yet the bare posisi- biiiLy of such an event is appalung. Supposing each man to earn only as. per diem, their aggregate daily loss would have been £ 25,000 £600,000 monthly,. £ 1,200.000 in two months, and 4:11800,000 in three months, &c. I hall., seen btrikes last three months before, and have witnessed. t'ie deep distress of women and children. Who can tell, what the sad consequences to the community which the, loss ct such a gigantic sum as the above would have in- volved ? Is it not the duty of every person of fek,lill- to seek diligently some plan to prevent tbe recurrence of these cruel and ruinous misunderstandings ? We have also the ill example and practice of begging encouraged by the strike, '111e practice is inexcusable. It is illegal. It is disgraceful. There is something wrong about the man who will beg when he can work. Is it not more honourable for a man to woik for wages than to send his poor wife and children tramping about the country to procure for him the bread of idleness ? I know men who, flight.to beg during a strike, have never worked since. onN,' strikes must be, hogging is almost the workman's ouly remedy, for the helP ('If the Colliers' Union is but a. arce compared with the stupendous amounts lo-t. Indeed, n> ,1 iJf>/Jars that the iohabitants of Glamorgaa nf ^J'bshire are liable to periodical fits Sation' t*urhig which the masters forget ,y so far as to relapse into feudal oppres- s.OLju. ^ttien theirs so far as to condescend tobegiroiu 0u0lo o j and all seem to desire the ruin of one aiiOj.uer, an~ even to count their own. At these periods all mte.e? s sIer. Religious communities are dispersed, lie who preacnes the Gospel of Peace to them has often to look to tieaven tor what earth has ceased to give. Pa- triotism is forgotten, for those who deliberately partici- pate in stopping the bounteous flow of their couutry's resources into the empty cruises of its hungry inhabi- tants are -io patriots. I It is but sorry comfort to know that, as masters and men are often at fault, hath have to Suffell in proportion. The masters undoubtedly buffer much from a strike. How maoy thousands ha', e they to expend during a strike, and without letui-u, in order to keep the water out of tho pits, to preserve the circulation of air in them, to feed horses —some as many as sixty or eighty of them—at the present iate of provender, with men to attend to them; also to iiecp wag:gons on hand at a heavy monthly rate, while all their capital lies idle after they have striven to open a market between themselves and others, with whom their commercial connection is thus broken, the merchants seeking other markets, from which they will perhaps never return. The somewhat high-handed proceedings of the masters produced the Colliers'Union, which soon-ained a victory o\ er the great ironmasters. That defeat immediately aroused tne latter, with the coal masters in combination, to form a counter alliance in self-defence. This was natural and inevitable. The warlike preparations of the Prussians produced cCJrrespondir g ones on the part of the French. and with deplorable results, of course. How many hun- dreds o. thousanus of families would have been soared tila direst agony of spirit, if, before the bloody frav, some one had procured the adoption of a plan for uniting both, parties in efiorts for their mutual benefit, instead of their mutual destruction. And strikes, though less terrible. than wars, are still so damaging, so disastrous, and spread desolation over so wide a field, that, in my opinion, they are not more appropriately comparable to any- thing than to military confliccs, and, worse than all they resemble civil wars. What is the remedy? Ar- bitration has been snggested, but is ODen to grave objec- tions. It is more a cure of an "evil begun, than a preventative. It is very temporary in its results. Inter- nationally it works well, for it decides beweeu the many and the many, but commercially it decides between the many and the few, and its effect and equity must differ in proportion. It often fails to satisfy either side; while a Board of Arbitration would be necessarily expen- sive, would probably listen to council on both sides, and thereby encourage more agitation and special pleaders. It is well known that both masters and men have been doing well for a considerable number of years past, both in the coal and iron trades. Those of the masters who have faiied to do so have failed through their own fault, want of experience and bad management while many ttien have failed through their own reckless improvi- I r,e^Cy. an(* t^3e want of economy in their wives. It has the fault of trade. On the basis of this fact, I ground the following plan fn!l^dfa-8?sst 'kat both masters and men, after care- ■ A_ the prices of cutting coal and melting" sho.f/f dJfferent branches, during the last 15 or 2d- t' adopt the average so found, and abide by it, J. r.y arJ' an experiment, and that a similar ?.v ™ P e> deduced by &Similar process from the sel- A,-l hv tho c extending over a like period, be a i* and rhai-1-8 as a maximum price for the nrarkeu, and that if ,n tt?e c?urge of trial the plan i# found to "r c"' ^'torily, it be adopted for another tuturepeii,- Vi.1.;) or xj years. I feel certain that evea if the 10 per cent reduction now proposed were accepted by the men the average rate for the past period just mentioned would be in their favour, and that the cer- taitiity of obtaining it, and the avoiding of all fluctua- tions in price, and all the evils attendant upon strikes, would prove ample compensation for any little Iocs they nnykt sustain in their present wage rate, for the provision market would soon be bound to follow, A union to be worthy of the name, to permanently benefit the coal trade by a uniform late, and to free it from hurtful and irritating fluctuations, must be a union of all engaged in that trade, masters and men. This plan would leave no loophole open for the obtaining of any undue advantage by any mining district or interest over another, since the standard price in each district would be distinctly fixed and ascertained in the same manner. The finding of the medium price would be the work of accouutants' only, and once found would leave no room for the interference of outsiders, arbitrators, cr agitators. Masters and men would be, as it were, leased to one another for a term of years, and ae the leasing principle works so well above ground why not under it, for greater security will produce more care and industry on both sides, and substantial advantages for both parties. Knowing that Mr. G. Williams, stipendiary magis- trate, Lord Aberdare, and Mr. H. Riehard, M P., are well acquainted with the circumstances of the iron and coal trades, and believing that they are thoroughly im- partial, I would be pleased if, in the interests of hn- manity, they would consider the above suggestion, and make their views thereon public.—Yours truly, Jan. 5th. A Sympathiser.
CHARLOTTE STREET MISSION ROOM.
CHARLOTTE STREET MISSION ROOM. To the Editor of the SOUTH Wales DAILY Nkws. SIR, I am glad of the opportunity to inform the public —and the public, I am sure, will be pleased to hear that Miss Jenner, Wenvoe Castle, has been for six days very hard at woik amongst the poor, the skk, and the unfor- tunates of-Charlotte-street and its neighbourhood. Town Mission Koom was, through the kindness of mem- bers of the committee, placed at her disposal for a f^rt- nfeht, but the severity of the weather prevented tha original plan being earned out, but all will be glad to leam that Mish Jenner fully intends to give us another week m J* eoruary. Lverything wa3 under her superin- tencleitce, anrl the also most generously paid the larger porcion of the expenses, and they were heavy. The mission-room meetings wore held at six o'clock every evening, and were commenced and closed with prayers. Tea was given to some fifteen or twenty very poor people—many of them vagrants —who, in thin unusually cold weather, had but little food to eat, scarcely any clothes to wf-ar, and no money to pay for i lodgings. It is easyjto understand that it would not bo a euixH quantity which would satisfysuch persons but they had enough, and there was to spare. In addition to tle I and iitfcim poor of Charlotte-street had also their wants satisfied. Tie chief object of the meeting, however, was to eollect together, and try to do goods to the unfortunate girls who dwell in this part of our town, 1 hese girls—sinning much, but often ,tinned gainst also have given way to the most depraved ten- dencies of human nature, so that they are runniug fast to destruction. Of such persons there were from ten to iitteen present every evening, and they also had sufficient t'jie {rood things provided. When tea wv<s ov.-r, tho rcn, alter receiving a kind advice, ri-th-d, aod only the women remained, so that au-oppottuaity m ght oj .had to converse with the unTortuasie girls about t:ie sinful lives tht'v led and their spiritual condition, 14, of them seemed to feel acutely their sad positic ii,f anil many were the promises of amendment. Three < f th were persuaded to enter the Home," and another re- turned penitent to her rtlntiv ^s at Swansea. If tear girls will- adhere to their present Intentions—ai.<l we all wish them success—.sufficient will Le the rew.rd of all for any trouble tat-e.i iu connection with these meetings. It would he, great blessing if the ladies of our town, w ho are wa,, known for their charity and work in other sphor. s labifttr, vfould help in trying to save kol#" of their sox wher have ben shIpwrecked in crossing ..w"3 ?ea 1; and wh;'1 are not even aware of the dauf?rfi,anea' ° town missionaries suffer much, and jrr?- ril<-lr h destroyed, .trough not having any "Vl'l'T tha' essential necessities of the very •f0:' y visit.
