FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. LONDON. TtJESDAY EVENING. All anxiety is over. Mr. Disraeli is not going to deprive the House of Commons of its usual sport- ing holiday. It would, indeed, have been a strange thing if the biographer of Lord George Bentinck had failed to respect a festival which even Mr. Glad stone had not ventured to set aside. This year's Derby seems likely to be better than usual in so far as the attendance of visitors is concerned. Of late years there has been a great falling off both in quantity and quality; and last year was the worst known for a very long time. But a Royal box has been erectod at Epsom this year and amongst the visitors are to be the Prince and the Princess of Wales, the Duke and the Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Prince and Princess Christian, and Prin- cess Louise and the Marquis of Lome. The Princess of Wales has been down only once before. By the way, there has been some consternation in betting circles at the rumour that Mr. Blenkirn, the owner of the favourite, is dangerously ill. It would have been too melancholy if he had followed the example of Mr. Launde," and had, by his death, cancelled all engagements. However, the rumour is untrue. Mr. Blenkiron has been slightly out of sorts, and that is all. I suppose we shall soon be having touts to report the health of the owners of horses as well as the doings of the horses themselves. As for "Mr Launde" he, though upwards of 80, has left a widow of 30, who is to have his seat, Ashby, and a liberal jointure during her life. A Scotch paper says that Mi s. King's income will be t3,500 a year, and is to be increased to E4,000 a year as soon as a sum of 919,000 is paid off. Mr. John Reeve, of Leadenham. succeeds to all the estates, as Mr. King died without issue. By his will a legacy is left to a man in India on the condition that he does not receive it for twenty- one years. The Central and Associated Chambers of Agricul- ture are not likely to weep for Jack of worlds to conquer. While the questions of Tenant-right and Local Taxation are still under discussion, the Chambers are going to take in hand two others- the Poor-law and Education. In the list of sub- jects to be discussed at the meeting of June 1st are the following The administra- tion of the Poor Law, its cott and consequences in connection with out-door relief in rural districts," and The working of the Elementary Education Act of 1870, the Elementary Education Amend- ment Act of 1873, and the Agricultural Children Act." The farmers do not altogether like this last class of Bills. They find them make a good many more demands upon the pocket than the old voluntary system, under which they paid(or did not pay) a guinea subscription towards the main- tenance of the Church schools. Then, too, they do not at all like being deprived of the services of the children whom they used to employ in the fields.. Mr. Lowe's speech at the Geographical Society's dinner yesterday, a highly characteristic one, was devoted partly to an assertion that the University of London excelled those of Oxford and Cambridge in geographical knowledge partly to a statement that he himself believed the world was round, having demonstrated the fact during a voyage to the antipodes and, lastly, to a comparison be- tween our knowledge of the parallax of Sirius and ignorance of many parts of our own globe. He exhorted wealthy people who were anxious for dis. tinction to provide expeditions for discovery, re- collecting whence the name of Boothia Felix had been derived." A great improvement upon the somewhat objectionable baby show in vogue some years ago is the Babies' Bazaar, which was opened yesterday in Stepney Causeway. Mrs. Hilton, a Quaker lady, has imported into that densely populated dis- trict the creche, or infant nursery, so common in France, where the children of working people are taken care of during the time their parents are of necessity absent from home. To this has recently been added a home for those little ones whose parents are dead or ill; and in aid of both of these good works the bazaar in question was yesterday opened by Mr. Gurney, late M.P. for Fal- mouth, and his wife. A club for the deaf and dumb has been started in connection with St. Saviour's Church, Oxford- street. The number of deaf-mutes in London and its suburbs is no less than eighteen hundred. Of these it is satisfactory to find that so large a proportion as thirteen hundred are under instruc- tion. An interesting feature of this Deaf and Dumb Church is 8011 "interpreted sermon which is preached every Sunday afternoon to a general congregation, and simultaneously interpreted to the deaf-mutes. The Rev. Francis Garden, Sub-Dean of the Chapels Royal, preached last Sunday to this strange congregation. Regarded with more or less approval as the American Evangelists were by the clergy of different shades of opinion in the Church of Eng- land, and patronised even by Bishops and digni- taries, thp approval of the Archbishop of Canter- bury might alone have seemed wanting to endprse their claims to general approval. This his Grace has given in a general way, though with a cautious proviso against the machinery of the inquiry-room. The Archbishop seems to trust Mr. Moody as far as his personal preaching goes, but to doubt the wisdom of his delegating to others less experienced than himself the delicate duty of guiding the indi- vidual conscience. This is purely reasonable and I have had the opportunity of proving for myself the comparative failure of the house-to-house mission where the ministration has thus been deputed to inexperienced persons. The meeting which is to be held at St. George s- hall on Saturday evening when ladies will answer the speeches made against the Women's Suffrage Mfi Bill in the House of Commons, shews that women do really take an interest in home politics. Nor is their interest confined to the affairs of this country. Mrs. Crawshay, of Cyfarthfa Castle, has called my attentiori to a curious passage m the well-known novel "Le Maudit," about the succes- sion of the Papacy being limited to the Italian Cardinals Will that rule be observed now that the Pope has been deprived of his temporal power 1 The matter is rendered all the more interesting by the renewed rumour of the present Pope's serious ill- in question is as follows:— Only an Italian may mount the chair of St. .Peter and that, my dear Abb<5, it seems to me must be extremely awkward for the Holy Spirit, which, as we all know, is always invoked to direct +weBa?innTT- °pes in conclave. 4 Holy Spirit,' they say to Him, we want a Pope enlighten us.

There is good news for theatre-goers. Miss Bateman (the elder) is about to return to the stage j and will act at the Lyceum in the character of Lady Macbeth, Mr. Henry Irving taking the part of Macbeth. The L6ndon School of Medicine for Women has offered two scholarships of the yearly value of C25 each, tenable for three years, to women desirous of studying medicine. Such ladies may be glad to know that the next examination is fixed for Sep- tember 29. Those who do not feel themselves up to this may prepare themselves for the milder exa- mination which will qualify them as pharmacists. One lady, Miss Clarke, has just quali- fied herself to set up as a chemist, and passed fourth in the list of candidates. Those who desire to eiityr upon the highest branches of knowledge will be glad to learn that a special fund is being raised to establish scholarships at the Ladies' College at Girton, near Cambridge. One more item of news under this head may be mentioned here. After 1876 the Women's General Examination at London University will he just as stringent as,and indeed identical with, the ordinary Matriculation Examination. few days hence there will be another conneet- *J}g link between the United Kingdom and the United States. It is expected that by the end of next week the laying of the "Direct" Cable will have been completed, and the line in actual operation. —

Yesterday afternoon a public meeting of miners Was held in the open air to discuss the propriety of going to Work on the terms proposed by the masters. A chairman and vice-chairman having been appointed, a vote of the meeting was taken as to the admission of the representatives of the press, and the men, by a ma- jority, sanctioned the presence of your correspondent. The CHAIRMAN asked those who intended taking part in the discussion to speak out their niitids and act accord- ingly. He should be very sorry to think that after speaking in ons way in the meeting, a decision should bs arrived at in the contrary way. A speaker then very energetically. addressed the Meeting, and gave an account of the interview of the Workmen's delegates with the masters, urgently beseech ing all present to speak and act accoiding to the dictates of his conscience. Questions which had been previously printed were distributed among the audience, requesting the meeting to give a decisive reply. The questions were to the following effectIs this meeting wiiling to resume work at 12i per cent. on the December rate, the reduction to continue in force for the term of six months, con- ditionally, and also that in future all questions be sub. mitted to a court of conciliation. A speaker then addressed the meeting on the contents of the printed paper, attributing the suggestions con- tained therein to Mr Casey. He would like to suggest that all the workmen concerned in this important ques- tion should be consulted, and their opinions duly ex- pressed on the subject. On the subject of conciliation they were informed by Mr Casey that the suggested board would be equivalent to a board of arbitration, but that the masters did not like that definition of the term. As far as regarded the formation of that ùoard, he should not concur in the idea of the formation of one geneial board. He should think that it should be neces- sary to form a separate board for the steam coal and house coal men, and also for the iron-workers. If that meeting decided on acquiescing in the 12 per cent reduction, and the appointing of delegates to go to Abtrdare on Thurs- day, it would be advisable that it should also be decided whether powers would be given to the delegates who would be appointed to wait on the masters at Cardiff on Friday to settle the matter forthwith. The next speaker referred to the difficulty they had to contend with during the strike, and, in speaking for himself, he would propose that they should resume work at 12 £ per cent reduction under the rate of December; and that a board of conciliation be formed, as suggested by Mr Casey. Also that the delegates appointed be authorised to settle the matter with the Blasters at Cardiff. Some desultory discussion here took place on the pro- priety of each branch of colliers separating from the meeting to discuss and decide on the question^ submitted to them in the paper. Ultimately a proposition that the respective branches of the coal trade should decide on the several questions submitted to the meeting was unanimously curried, and forthwith the meeting separ- *ted. Roth of the sectional meetiugsldecided on the sending fo a delegate to the Aberdare meeting. It was resolved "That the delegates be empowered to acquiesce in the ten per cent., but no greater amount of reduction. At the same time they were empowered to use their own dis- cretion in the meeting at Aberdaie, as to a certain im- portant point, which they ior certain purposes do not desire to make public. The meeting was most amicably conducted, aud a good feeling towards the masters was exhibited throughout the whole of the speeches, all of .which were enthusiastically cheered. We are happy to state that in a conversation with the workmen the district, they unreservedly manifested an earnest desire for the resumption of work.

MASS MEETING TO-DAY. MERTHYR, TUESDAY NIGHT. The town crier has announced a mass meeting at Aber- dare to-morrow evening, when Messrs Casey and Pickard will address the men. Some of the Siemen's furnaces are being re-lit at Dowlais, which suggests immediate move- ment at the steel warks.

AN ABERDARE LAW CASE. In the Court of Chancery yesterday the case of Cope and another versus Mitchell was heard. Mr Higgins, y.C., and Mr Hemming appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr Wasse, Q.C., and Mr Millar for the defendants. The plaintiff and another carry on business in London Jinder the style of the Economic Concrete Building ^ompanyt» £ .aat year enteretl into negotiations Y»th the defendaut Mitchell, who is a shoemaker at A.berdare, to erect ten cottages. The contract was signed August last. The defendant was to pay £ 187 pi*r house, and concrete was to be the substance used, the dts- ieD5j asserting that cinder clinkers could be had for 3d per load. But the clinkers in reality cost 2s a load. When work had been done equal in quantity to V A erecti°n of five houses, the plaintiffs ap- plied for an advance, believing that they were entitled to 915o or 1:200, but the defendants' sur- veyor signed a certificate for P,70 only. This was objected to by the plaintiffs, who called in two surveyors, and they declared tha.t the plaintiffs were entitled to a much larger r°^t. Defendant would pay none, and plaintiffs ould not proceed. The defendant then entered the cancelled the contract, and took possession of fi^nn ilan.t material, which the plaintiffs valued at 15 t ?^aiQtiffs prayed for an account; that tho cancel- mi°Kf contract might be declared illegal; that they J ve a°cess to the building site; and have damages q^jded them for what had taken place, e Vice-Chancellor, in giving judgment, styled this a lserable dispute. Nothing could be mors plain than e contract entered into between the parties. When e. Ie came for paying something on account to the plaintiffs it was not to be wondered at that the plaintiffs ere deeply disappointed at finding that it was not valued at more than 1:95. The certificate of Mr Morris, the sur- eyor, was exceedingly illiterate a more unjustifiable tning, bia Honour said, he had seldom seen. It was quite a xaistake, however, to come to the Court under the circumstances related, because they thereby under- took a heavy burden, either to prove that the certificate was given from fraudulent or some improper motive. in that the plaintiffs failed altogether in fact, they never attempted to prove such a thing. The plaintiffs had bound themselves to submit to the decision of Mr Morris, and ought to have submitted, because it would all have come right in the end for the plaintiffs. Nor was their conduct right in at once stopping the work, break- mg the contract most completely. On the whole, his Honour considered it right to grant an injunction to re- strain the defendant from appropriating or removing the plant, or preventing the plaintiffs from entering the pre- mises and removing them. The bill would be dismissed with costs. 0

"r .> "r.J.=-r. -=. A GRICULTU R AL LABOURERS' CONFERENCE. SPEECH BY MR MACDONALD. A conference of delegates representing the various dis tncts of the above society was opened in Birmingham yesterday morning. The President, Mr Joseph Arch, occupied the chair, and amongst the distinguished indivi- duals present were Mr A. Macdonald, M.P. There were 80 delegates present, representing aboat 60,000 labourers. lr A. Macdonald, Ill. P., in the course of the pro- ceedings, delivered an address. Lie was present, h co said, at. the first meer.ing held in the e:ty of London, to advo- cate the claims of t^e agricultural labourers, and he went there to s^e how the lanourers were to liberate themselves from their thraldom. He had looked at their condition, and he felt thtt their lot was a hard one. He was of opinion at the time he wt-nt to the meeting that their con- dition would beimprovrd if fch-y endeavoured t9 form an organizatiol1 throughout the entire length and breadth of the land. The iriiner.t of Scotland had improved their 1 condition by organization, aud he bs'ieWu they could too. Speaking of emigration he said it vOMS a crime in any country to allow its best men to l6a»S bet wBhn there was food and labour for all. He, however, advocated emigration as the chief means by which they eottld ob- tain the end for which they were striving. In conclusion he said, they had seen weavers going about almost un- clothed, shoemakers unshod; they had seen starving labourers, dying on the 8"11 whioh fed and pampered the taste of thot-e who were above them they had seen the miner stealing the bits of coal, because he was too poor to buy it, and all through the tyrrany of the upper classJS« He asked whether these things should continue. (No). There was no organic change to-day in the country. True, they had had a Gladstone, who h ad tried to grapple with Certain falacies. He had abolished that anomaly, the Irish Church—(hear, hear)—and they had had the county franchiso grappled with, but there was much more to do. (Applause,) They must work, and change the very foundation of the Bocial institutions of the country. They mtist change the land laws—(loud applause) tne Church laws- (applause)-and then they would see an improvement in things generally. (Cheers.) A public meeting was held at night.

THE FREE CHURCH ASSEMBLY. The Free Church Assembly on Monday were engaged in private on the appeal by the Rev. III. B. Sturrock, lately assistant to Dr Black, St. Andrew's, inst, a judgment of the Synod of Fife in February last. The Presbytery of St. Andrew's libelled Mr Sturrock in con- sequence of a fuiua against him that he had been guilty of adultery with his 'landlady. When the fama broke out, Mr Sturrock was at Malta, having been appointed to a station by the Colonial Committee. He asserted his innocence of the crime, came home, and defended him- self in the Presbytery. After evidence the Presbytery found the libel proven. Mr Sturrock appealed to the Synod, who sustained the finding by the casting vote of the Moderator. Thereupon Mr Sturrock appealed to the Assembly, "After parties bad been heard at great length, Sir H. MOKCHIEFF moved, and Principal RAINY seconded, a motion to the effect that the General As- sembly sustained the judgment of the Synod in so far as it had found the libel proven. Mr M'EwAN, of Knox's Church, Edinburgh, moved, and Mr MITCHELL, elder, Aberdeen, seconded a motion to sustain the dissent and complaint, and find the libel not proven. On a division, 93 voted for the motion of Sir Henry Moncreiff, and 141 for that of Mr M'Ewan. Majority for second motion, 48. Sir H. MONCREIFF dissented from the finding because it was contrary to the clearest evidence, and dangerous and injurious to discipline. Mr WILSON (Dundee) intimated his adherence to the dissent of Sir Henry Moncrieff. The dissent was after- wards signed by a member of other members of Assem- bly. An account issued shows the income of the Free Church during the year from March 31st, 1874, to March 31,1865, to be as followsiSustentation Fund, £ 163,168 local building fund, £ 01,631; Congregational fund 45158,906; missions and education, £ 93,S57; miscellaneous R47,862 total, i'o'25,424. The total sum contributed last year \vas *511,084, so that there has been an increase during tne past twelve months of £ 14,340.

CLEVELAND IRON MARKET. MIDDLESBRO, Tuesday.—The attendance at the Iron market was good, and the tone of trade more cheerful. ine effects of the financial crisis having psssed aNiaY. Pig-iron was in improved request, but notwithstanding this, pnces were rather weak, especially for forward delivery. No. 1, was quoted, 62s., No. 3, 56s., and No. V'Tge, 54all net cash. Notwithstanding the close of the strike in South Wales the prospects of the rail trade were considered very much better, and the higher prices were accordingly maintained. Ship plates are now in fair demand. Puddled bars are exceedingly scarce owing to the fact that some of the mills cannot be kept fully going, because of a want of men. Prices have gone up considerably during the last fortnight, and to-day £ 5 7s. 6d. was asked. (FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT) Whitsuntide, as a matter of course, caused a suspen- sion of operations :n the finished departments particu- larly. But the late comparative excitement affected by failures already referred to has almost entirely subsided, notwithstanding the fact that Mesrs. Hopuins, Gilkes, and Co. s yearly balance sheet shows a loss of X48,000, with a debt of 290 000 borrowed money. Concerning this publication a letter has appeared in a local print, signed by a large shareholder," criticising the so-called lavish outlay of the directors upon palatial residences," and statin^ that the shareholders had paid in twics the value of the original shares. The circular, says the writer, Jays the blame on the state of trade but that is only one of Satan's old-fashioned 1'.es in the form of a serpent." There are not wanting indications that the iron trade is about at its turning- point and it is evidont from remarks nue hears that several large establishments will be laid off when existing orders are executed until other orders can be taken at more remunerative priccs. There has been a slight decline in the value of pig iron during the past week, in accord- ance with the fact that last Tuesday's market showed a drooping tendency. Although makers of pig generally find a good sale for forward delivery, there is so much being produced that a large residue is necessarily left free for sales. Buyers at the same time calculate that on account of the recent cheapening of the cost of labour, production should be considerably reduced, and there ought to be a simultaneous reduction in the value of iron. The action of the" Bears" has intimated weak holders, but stronger firms stand out for the prices quoted a fortnight ago. Inasmuch, however, as the current value of pig iron is still in excess of what it wa3 in 1871, the chances of a further fall may he calcu- lated on with some certainty. The awakening condition'of things in Wales, prospectively increases this contingency, though the want of miners is likely to be a serious drawback. The men have not returned to the district in anything like the numbers that left it during the last lock-out. Men of a sort can, doubtless, be got easily, but the difficulty lies in .procuring men who are afc once qualified to perform their work, and conduct selves with some system. It is a question of time and tion. Some idea of the extent to which the rail trade o this district has recently suffered, may be got from Board of Trade returns, which show that the tot?* tity of railroad iron exported from the United for the first four months of 1875 only reaches f 8» as compared with 237,506 tons in the correspon"in° 0Ur months of last year.

TTH EMI SSI NG LINKT If We are to believe a report from the Madras P ncy, one at least of the musing hnk3 between anthropomorphous apes and Homo sapiens has at turned up, a Mr Bond, an Indian surveyor, having, 8aid, secured two specimens of a race possessing < Very simian characteristics, who inhabit the hill jui of the Western Ghats, living chiefly on roots and ho and being without fixed dwelling pla,ces. They I: however, civilised tendencies, for they exchange, he Wax, and other produce of their forest haunts for tob< as well as for cloth and rice. diagnosis of thi markable and primitive type of humanity is ver teresting. The forehead is low and retrea and the lower part of the face projecting the muzzle of a monkey; the legs are f and bandy, while the body and arms are paratively long. The most Striking character is iu hands, which, with the fingers, are contracted so they cannot be stretched out flat; the palms and tin more especially the tips of the latter, are covered thick skin, the nails being small and imperfect. whil< feet are broad and covered on the upper as well at lower surface with thick skin. These people art without religion, practising, apparently, a spe')¡i nature worship. The mountains of India harbour se very ancient races, who have there fouud a refuge the successive waves of invasion which, as in the <:a Italy, have swept over the peninsula, from pre-hia periods, and whose strange and primitive customs habits have already thrown light upon important el logical problems.—Iron.
