IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION FROM…
IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. _n_ PROBABLE DECISION OF THE MASTERS TO-DAY. MERTHYR, Thursday NIGHT. As time rolls on the feeling of the public and of the majority of the men in this district against the decision of the delegate meeting at Mountain Ash becomes more intense and resolute, and the resolve of the masters at the meeting at Cardifi to-morrow is looked forward to with grave concern and disquietude. It is -aid that the olive branch which the masters held out to the men has been insultingly strack down by paid agents and by men at work, who really ought not to have been allowed a voica in the matter; and it is feared that the masters, defied as they are by these delegates, and seeing all chances of a compromise impossible, will now insist upon further l eductions in wages before opening their pits, and will take other ulterior measures which they have abstained from taking hitherto. I am in possession of sortie information as to the probable action of the masters at their meeting to- morrow which I belisve to be authentic and reliable, as I have received is from a generally well-informed authority. My informant states, and the rumour, as I learn, is <jnistlv whispered in other accre- dited circles, tnaf those of the masters who were partially inclined to suggest arbitration in fature dis- putes if the men had gone in upon the ten per cent. rodndtion will now, in view of the new complications of the dispute and tho defiant attitudo of the delegates at the Mountain Ah meeting, refuse to entertain the question at all, and will join heartily with tbeir brother employers in fighting the battle to the bitter end." « This, your readers will remember, was Mr Halliiay's wish, and he is now likely to have that wish gi-atified- even if that bitter end should extend to one month or twelve months. It is a terrible thing for destitute men and their suffering wives and children, but the delegates have declared for a ruinous war, and that ruin will, I fear, be utter and overwhelming. I am informed, moreover, that all the new works which are being proceeded with at the various Asso- ciated collieries will be t once stopped, and the men- a large jicffiber—now in work will be instantly dis- missed. This, I regret to say, will have tho effect oi ) throrilns a considerable number of additional families, men, women, and children, upon purieh support. Most cortaiuly tho quoaiion of a farther re- ducticn iu wtigoa will bo discussed to-day, and it ia more than probable that the question of a differencial reduction will be favourably entertained. The bituminous co'il proprietors allege that they are qnable to carry on their pits so as to make them pay without a very considerable rednction in wages, and 30 per cent., and even more, has been mentioned. My in- formant is inclined to bolieve that a proposal will be mado'to-day for 15 PC); cent. reduction in the steam coal collieries, and 25 per cent in the bituminous col- lieries-, and that this will ba favourably entertained, if not decided upon. ) There remains only tho question of the miners' cot- tagea to be considered. I may state that a considerable Humber of the men who went out on strike occupy bouse* belougiag to the Associated Masters, but have not paid any rent since December. Many of these men went to work at once in the non-associated col- lieries, but although occupying the cottages of those against whom they are continually hurling defiance they have not thought it their duty to pay their rents. I have. reason to believe that a resolution will be adopted to-morrow, to take stringent measures to obtain the rent or the cottages. These measures, however, will only be tftkon against the men now at work, but the tenants out ot employ will not be pressed in any way. The Btraggta i' thus becoming more bitter and intensified, and the defiance 0f the delegates at tho Mountain Ash meeting will be met, I fear, by equally stern resolves at the masterr.' meeting to-morrow. Tbsje is not, I believe, the shadow of a pretence for insindating, as your Tory contemporary has stated, that the masters are -disunited nnon any question of principle or PoIfcy. As I am informed they are thoroughly at Oile and nnited in the stringent action which will be taken to-morrow. The defiant temper I of the debates 011 Tuesday has collvillcca them I that concilia don and compromise aro at present itn- possible, and as the delegatesjbav8 declared ior war, the masters, as I am tola, are not likely to disappoint them- The temola If-II(is that dppend Upaa a pro- longation fenifni struggle are panful and sad beyorfd. description, an<j every feeling heart must sorely beWBiI the sui^mgs *bich «0 many tens of thousands t*fll have to endUre.

THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE LORD…
THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE LORD TREDEGAR. Yesterday the earthly remains of the lata Lord Tre- dega.r were deposited in their last resting-place in the family mausoleum at Bassalleg Church. By the ex- pressed wish of the lamented nobleman, the funeral ar- rangements were conducted in a strictly private manner, the cortcge from the mansion consisting of the member of the family, and those more immedia-tely connected with his lordship, as solicitors, agents, or persons boiling other responsible positions. If, however, the funeral is to be regarded as private, it is difficult to conceive to what extent it would have reached had it been apnonnced as public. The weather was most unpropitious, rain pouring in torrents at intervals during the morning, with a bitterly-cold wind but despite this drawback, most if not all the parishioners of Basalleg, Cced-kennew, and inhabitants of the hamlets adjoining, together with huudreda of people from Newport, were present to witness the solemn ceremonial and to pay the last tribute of respect to a nobleman whom they all so highly esteemed during the long life that he passed in their midst. Every sentiment uttered in con- nection with Lord' Tredegar ever breathed forth tha kindest regard, and now that he is no more the keenest sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family in the ir- reparable loss they have sustained. Knowing the unspeakable worth of the departed nobleman, it is not to d be wondered a 'that so many personsavailed themselves of the opportunity of attending the funeral. A large number of persons were conveyed by the Mon- mouthshire Eailway for Bassalleg, intent on beins pre- sent as spectators at the solemn proceedings. Wall-in" from the Bassalleg-station to the church, a distance of half-a mile, the ram fell heavily. The church gates were besieged with those eager to gain admission to the venerable building as a shelter from the storm. \1r Superintendent M-Intosh and Mr Inspector Sbepnard with a staff of pohce officers, had been deputed to re. vent an entrance to the church grounds until the arrival of the funeral corwjc from Tredegar-park Hou.e. It i8 a subject of regret that so many ptrs;>n&, and more especi- ally females, had to wait for upwards of an hour without shelter in ram. Even this, however, was notregai-a.e(i a hardship too great m order to carrv out tbe intention of being spectators of, and to some extent participate81]3 fuaeral obsequies. Tho »ariahiorft-« were the iuvrt to be admitted to the church, and gradually tbe sacred buikling began to fill.

SW AN SEA. Boaed OF GUAP.BiANS.~The nnnual meeting of the Board was held yesterday, Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn in the chair and there was a full attendance. The. first busi- Board was held yesterday, Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn in the chair, and there was a full attendance. The. first busi- uess of the Board was the appointment of chairman. Mr R. Richards took the chair pro tern. Alderman Phillips I proposed that Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn be re-elected as chairman. Never had the duties of the office been more efficiently performed than by Mr Llewelyn. Mr Philip Rogers seconded the motion,and also spoke highly of the manner in which Mr Llewellyn had performed the duties Mr E Bath supported the motion, expressing a hope that tbe day would be far distant when Mr Llewelyn would find it necessary to resign his post. Mr Kichards then vacated the cbair. and Mr Llewelyn on resuming his seat thanked the Board for the continued mark of their confidence,and hoped he should have their co-opera- tion during the coming year as be h(td in the pact. Mr E. Bath was re-appointed vice-chairman, aud Mr E. Daniel second vice-chairman. The time of the meeting I of the Board was fixed the same as last year. The vari- ous committees of the house were then appointed. Mr John Ivor Evans, in accordance with notice of motion, proposed that the undermentioned guardians be appoin- ted a committee to take into consideration the re-arranae ment of the relief officers districts, and report thereon to the Board, the committee to consist of Messrs. 11. Kichards T. Phillips, J. Buse, P. Kogers, E. R. Daniel, J. I. Evans, tbe Chairman, and the two Vice-chairmen. He moved this because a large section of the union had been severed from them, and it became a question whether they should not do away with one officer, or re-arrange the districts. The proposition was carried. The Chair- man read a letter from Mr Bircham, Poor law Inspector, bearing upon the question of industrial schools. Neath, Bridgend, and Cowbridge had determined to have schools for themselves on the Mettray cottage system, and he recommended that Swansea should jo likewise, because Swansea workhouse was not a proper place to bring up young children, and there were weighty objections to the boarding-out system. It was agreed that the letter should be printed and circulated among the members of the I Board aud then it would be taken into consideration. A list'of Guardians was Submitted to the Board by the Clerk as being the correct return of the elections. A Cabman DRIVING without A Badge. —At the Borough Police-court yesterday, before Mr J. C. Fowler, Edward Leaker was summoned by Mr John Divett Francis with p'vintf for hire without wearing a badge. Mr John Divett Francis rtate(I that he saw the defen- dant uoon the cab stand, and hailed him, asking whether lie was engagedHe replied that he was not and witness then sad. Drive^me to tae police-station. He did so and he told Mr Alison that tue defendant was plvirr"- for hire without his badge. Mr Alison said, ¡' ■' Where is your badge T D fendant said it was in his pocket and he pulled it out of his pocket. On coming down the street subsequently, defendant came up to him and said, Look here, Mr Francis, I think it was a mean trick of you to take me to Mr Alison." Witness then told him it was his inteittion to take out a summons against him for driving without his badge. In cross- examination by Mr \Voodward, who appeared for the defence witness said he had taken out 400 or 500 sum- monses'against cabmen in the last 10 years. He de- rived no benefit whatever from laying informations against cabmen. Ife was done for the public welfare. Mr Woodward, on behalf of his client, pleaded guilty to the charge, but he thought it was a great pity they should have such an agitator in the town as Mr Francis. The defendant was a man of undoubted good character, and he had only just come on to the stand when Mr Francis hailed him, and had not had time to take his bad-'e out of his pocket. Mr Francis was not the proper person to lay these informations. It was simply forget- fulness on the part of the defendant, and he asked the Bench simply to mulct him in tho costs. Mr Fowler said it might have been a case of fol getfulness, buc if that plea were allowed every cabman might set up the same plea when he choose, and put his badge in his pocket. A cab- man was subject to laws and regulations which consti- tuted him a servant of the public, and it was his primary d u, y to have the means of identifying him put in a con- spicuous place on hia arm, and he (Mr Fowler) should in. variably insist on it Itrongly. Although the defendant micht be a respectable young man there might be other Dersons employed to drive cabs who might not be good characters and who misbt commit offences. It was a most essential point that they should have a mark on them by which they could be traced if anything hap- nmud In the event of certain strange transactions which'sometimes took place it was nectary that a cab- mar. aVinnld be known at all times and *11 places as long aj» h« was under th& autbontyfof the«Corporation of Swan- sea He did not intend to overlook tha- offence, for he considered it a S?rave ofrenco- He. thought that the JEd-mt committed a grave error m instructing the learned advocate to ask Mr lraj?^s whether he was paid for laving informations. iNo doubt Mr Francis had given offence to Sany of uiittcd offences against the regulations tor many years nit A man who bad the energy and would take the trnnhle to bring these matters before the proper tribunal, wL mtber to be thanked than treated with contumely.'

He thought, Mr Francis l; j rfdit Howevtr although he (Mr Fowler) made ?hlq ^ro -remarks upon the breach of the regulations, an^the language used to Mr Francis, he thought that as the defendant bad a respectable character, and no case of this kind had been brought against him before, it i riJ Efficient to fine him 5s and costs. W(Furio"8 Driving on Sunday.—Edward Hughes was charied "with furiously driving his horse and trap tire SkottV-road to the danger cf the public.

Catherine McGowan, re- sidinsr in Howell's-court, had a person lodging with ber some eWit or nine years ago who left an infant with Mrs Mi-Omviin Since tnat time tne mother of the child had bot n undergoing a sentence of penal servitude, and the child was removed from McGowan'a house—a brothel—as beiiv- an impropw p'ape to be brought up in, and sent to the Princess Mary's lveformatory in Surrey. Mrs Mc- Gowan now instructed Mr Woodward to apply to the court to have the child returned to her.

The weather was exceedingly unfavourably r^n,.f%ily)ig heavily throughout the latter part of the day, wnich had the effect, of deterring many who otherwise would have attended from being present at the opening servIee.

The chapel is a most welcome addition to the church architecture of Swansea, and the members of the congregation now may congratulate themselves upon having one of the most commodious and comfortable places of worship in the town.

,ABERGAVENNY.
ABERGAVENNY. Another FIRE.-Aiacther disastrous fire broke out on Wednesday last at Llansabbath Farm, about three miles from Abergavenny, in the parish of Llanover, in the occupation of Mr J. James. The farm buildings con- sisted of a barn, cowhouses, and stables, which all adjoined each oth"r and were attached to the farmhouse. About 8 p.m. on Wednesday night Mr James, upon entering the cowhouses, found them on fire, and he bad just time to remove three caives and some implement when the whole place was all in a blaze. There being s large quantity of straw in the buildings the tire spreap very rapidly, but he immediately despatched a mesd songer OIl horseback to Abergavenny for the fire brigade- which arrived at the spot between 9 and 10 o'clock, by which time the whole of the buildings aforesaid, as well as a grainary above the cowhouses, werejjwrapped in flames. The brigade found it useless to try and put out the fire, so they at once proceeded to cut off the com- munication between the buildings and the dwelling- house. The river Usk ran close by, and they were thus amply supplied with water, and a large crowd of persons from Abergavenny and the neighbourhood tendered c-reat assistance. After strenuous and almost hopeless effort they succeeded in cutting off the communication. The fire was got under about 2 a.m., but not before the whole of the outbuildings had been completely gutted, nothing but the walls being left. There were a number of riciis on the eastern side of the building, but owing to tbe strong eastern wind blowing at tbe time, and tbe efforts of the brigade, they were saved. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have resulted from a spark out of one of the men's pipes. The damage is estimated at from £ '200 to £ 300.

It appears that a journeyman painter belonging to Iloath came over here on Wednesday night, and early next morning he went down to the lower end of the docks. He descended the steps leading to the water, took off his boots, coat, and hat. called out to some people who had noticed his strange demeanour, Good-bye all," and plunged into the basin. The body was recovered soon afterwards, and, every effort at re- storation was made, but without avnil. The name of the man has not yet been ascertained, but it has been stated that he leaves a family.

---------A GREEK FUNERAL IN…
A GREEK FUNERAL IN SWANSEA. Last Monday Swansea was the scene of a funeral con- ducted with the full rites' of the orthodox Greek Church, and many persons witnessed, for the first time, this ancient order of burial service. The deceased, Captain Angelicarra, of the royal navy of Greece, was by no means an ordinary man. In a nation boasting of its patriotism lie was esteemed as a patriot indeed. Those who remem- ber the Cretan Revolution of seven and eight years ago will call to mind that a rakish little blockade running steamer named "Arcadion "annoyed the Turkish fleet for many months, and would not be captured do whatever our countryman Hobart Pacha chose, until a carefully planted shot damaged one of ber paddle wheels, when her commander ran her ashore and escaped with his crew. The Turks then had an easy prey, and the Arcadion," patched up. is now shown to strangers visiting Constantinople as a veritable trophy. The com- mander of this daring craft—Captain Nicolas Angelicarra, a member of the Greek Parliament, and an otherwise dis- tinguished man—has, however, yielded himeelf to the last enemy, and now lies in his quiet:grave in Swansea Ceme- tery. On Thursday last, our local Greek priest, the Rev. Father Hatherly, was telegraphed for, and happily arrived in time to administer the Holy Communion and otherwise comfort the departing soul, which lingered till Friday morning at 10.30, when the end was peace. Mon- day was fixed for the funeral, and the Seamen's Church was kindly placed at the disposal of the Greek Consul, Mr Mason, by the Rev. Dr Modre. A procession set out from the deceased's residence, and walked to the churon, where a space was cleared for the numerous mourners to stand, sitting and kneeling being postures unused intg Greek s rvices. The funeral service, consisting ° j ««rp^e Stsehera, Canon, Epistle, Gospel, and the serviceo Last Kiss," was then gone through by the -Ke Vphe pro- Hatherly, and occupied ciose upon two hours. cession then re-formed, and proceeded m p° cemetery, where the .English Church serwoaw dj ti,e Ifcvf "E.;fc, Tbe the grave of their respected and ia»" cojourg All the ships in the harbour drop^ town testified many of the principal inhabitants SeSCt his property by will to the royal navy of Greece. „

THE IRON, COAL. AND HARDWARE TRADES OF THE WEST MIDLANDS. Biemingiiah,Thursday.—Galvanisers were here to-day, as iu Wolverhampotn yesterday, seeking to place orders for singles at under maker'a quotations. Here and there they Were successful in depositing specifications at £ '1112s 0d, but makers would not take large lots at the figure, and the bulk of the trade demanded £ il 15s as t-tio minimum. There are few galvanising establishments which have a good position in the roofing trade where fult time is not being worked. The demand, on account of Australia and home markets, has mostly contributed to this end. Yet the general opinion of the proprietors is that Australia is overstocked. Best boiler plates keep m pretty good demand in the Manchester and certain other home markets hoops are going to Liverpool for exporta- tion, and to the packing-case makers at home, but the competition is so great alike in hoops and jn strips that very little profit results from the transactions. Bars are in only little request for any but the best brands, for which merchants are compelled to give makers' terms, which are #11 but an excellent bar is to be had at 910 to £1. ¡ 10s. Stamping sheets keep ia request,and fetch from 1:17 to £ 19,. The lull of the past few days in the failure breeze, which threatened to swell into a stoim, occasioned a bitter feeling to-day than last Thursday. By two of the London suspensions one iron-making firm in North Staffordshire has been bit to the extent of 1:5,000. but the lots can be well borne; the highest figure in any ona caseiii Birmingham and South Staffordshire stands at £ 2,000. Coal is in great demand about Cannock Chase and Dudley, to supply the domestic market in the South of England but the small collieries are not doing much. Employers of labour complain that the requirements of the market are barely nif-t, alike as to the pits, the fur- naces, the forges, and the hardware factories. Notwith- standing tlie South Wales lock-out, the presence of a Welsh collier or f:im::ct iaan seeking work is the excep- tion, and where work has been offered to either the one or he other he has usually curled his lip at it and parsed on.
SOUTH WALES COAL AND IROli…
SOUTH WALES COAL AND IROli SHIPMENTS. (SPECIAL REPORT rr.OI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CARDIFF, Thursday. There is no important feature to notice in connection with the shipments for the week just ended. They have simply re- turned to tbe low average to which we have been accustomed since the beginning of the strike, and the exports continue to amount to about half of what they are at this port under ordinary circumstances. Business, generally, has been more paralysed than ever during the past week, operations of all kinds having been suspended in the hope that some solytion of the crisis might have been foreshadowed in the recent meeting of colliers. This hope has been cruelly disappointed, and consequently the tone of feeling at the Docks is far more despondent than before. It is hardly anticipated that anything im- portant can result from the masters' meeting arranged for to-morrow which can compensate for the recent dif-sap- pointment, in view of the announcement that tbe colliers have resolved not to be represented thereat It is vain, to express a hope here that wise counsel* may prevail, when at all important junctures the most foolish and suicidal decisions have been carried. The entries outwards of vessets to load in Cardiff during the week comprise 22 steamers, of the estimated burthen of 17.746 tons, and 38 sailing vessels, calculated to carry 14,576 tons, making a total of 32,322 tons, against 33,207 tons of last week. The fresh supply of tonnage amounts in Swansea for the week to 13,590 tons, and in Newport to 1,536 tons. Cardiff has cleared foreign during the week 19 steamers and 33 sailing vessels, with 25,616 tons of coal, and 4,798 tons of patent fuel, which was shipped to various ports asifollows -France, 10,965 tons, Bast Indies. 5,524 tons, Eastern Mediterranean ports, 5,475 tons; other Mediter- ranean ports. 3,609 tons, South America, 3,115 tons, Spam, 1,507 tons, Baltic, 1,100 tons, West Indies, 907 tons, Portugal, 700 tons, and Africa, &c. 512 tons.

I ask what investigation he couldihaveraade in that time, and are these 60 children part of the 400 he visited ? I ask this because at pages 11 and 27 Mr Doyle acknowledges to have seen 40 children at. Newcastle with Mr Robson, and 40 children at Pelham v with me, who are all giving satisfaction, and with whose condition he was well pleased so that if to these 80 we may add the Chatham 00, also visited by Mr Doyle, we have at once an admission that 140 out of my half of the 400 visited are doing well.
