PENTRE (RHONDDA VALLEY). PETTY SESSIONS.—The petty sessions for the Bhondda Valley were held yesterday, at the Public-halL, Pentre, before Messrs Gwilym Williams (stipendiary) and Ebenezer Lewis, of Newport, Mon., David Jones, of Treherbert, summoned William Samuel, of Treorky, for having paid away the share of money which was owing to him at a pay at the Abergorky Colliery. The com- plainant worked on shares with a man named Ash ford, to whom the money for both was paid by Samuel. For the defence, Mz D. Rosser argued that as Samuel had paid the money to Ashford, by desire of the clerk at Aber- gorky, no case existed against his client. The bench dis- missed the case against Samuel, but told complainant he had a good case against the colliery clerk. COMPENSATION CLAIM.—John Jones and 18 Ather col- liers summoned the London and South Walee Company, Dunraven Colliery, Treherbert, for k9 each damages. The case of the men was that they had been asked to work three in a stall, instead of two, as was the practice. This they refused to do, and were prevented from work- ing, for which they claimed damages. Mr W. Williams prosecuted, and Mr Simons appeared for the company. It appeared from the evidence that the manager at the couiery.bad decided on cutting off a range of work, and to meet the men thrown out of employment he decided on pLucing a third man in each stall in another range of work. To this the complainants objected, alleging that it was contrary to usage at this colliery. On Mr Simons cross-examining some of the complainants it was proved that three had worked in a stall during the strike, and in some cases up to the time of this dispute, aftd that others had asked for a third man, their stalls being twenty-two yards wide. The stipendiary said that the manager was perfectly right in putting three in each stall under the circum- stances, as it waa to make room for others out of work. The case would be dismissed, with leave for the men to go back to work, three in each stall. The manager (Mr Kelly) assured the bench that no vindictive feeling should be shown towards the men. ROBBERY.—James Kemp was charged by Mr D. Morgan, inspector, on behalf of the Taff Vale Railway Company, with stealing a rope, value 10s, from their Havod siding, about the 20th September. This being the boy's first offence, he was fined 10s and costs, or seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. The money not being forthcoming, be was taken to gaol. WAGES CLAIM.—Owen Davies sued John Howell, of Treorky, for JS3 12s wages. Mr Howells prosecuted. The defendant, who wasnot present, was ordered to pay the claim, with costs.

Police- constable Owen proved the charge, and defendants were each fine 5s and costs. SURETIES OF THE PEACE,—Charlotte James charged her Bon-in-law, John Harris, with using threats towards her. and threatening to kick and break open her door at Po'itygwaith- The case was dismissed. WOMEN'S SQUABBLE.—Joseph Rees, charged Lettice Harris, of Treorky, with killing his fowl, value 3s. Defendant alleged that she killed it on her own premises. The police informed the bench that there was a great deal of animosity among a cluster of the women living near these parties. The bench decided to dismiss the case.

LLANELLY. LOCAL BOARD.—The board met on Saturday, Mr John Randell in the chair. Mr Benjamin Jones, of Caefxaer, attended, after an absence of two months through illness, and he received the most cordial expressions of welcome and congratulations on his recovery from the chairman, members, and officers of the board. The medical officer, in a long and able report for the last quarter, stated the death rate of the urbaa district to be 17415 per 1,000, which very favourably compares with that of the corresponding quarter of last year, when it was 21.8. Disease of the respiratory organs, which is the scourge of Llanelly, caused 29 out of the total of 84 deaths. Infectious and contagious diseases caused only 4 deaths, of which two from typhoid were clearly to be attributed to a slaughter-house in Oxen street. Dr Buckley went on to say that he had visited every house he knew to be infected, but these wereioifly part of the whole, and he added-—" until an effiraent means is instituted for the registration of infectious disease, all our efforts to diminish tho mortality th»if>re- vails from this class of disease must prove ineffectual." The board referred the subject to the Sanitary Committee. A letter was read from the Tradesmen's Association asking the board to inform them what course it intended to adopt in respect to the present violations of the Act of Parliament, and the market bye-laws, against which the association has recently petitioned. The complaints of the association are two-fold: firat and chief, that the shops at the corners of the entrances to the Market place, and which are part of the market property, being occupied by weekly tonaxits of the board, who pay no rates, should be allowed to be kept open for hours after all the stalls and shops within the market gates are clostetl Secondly, besides desiring uniformity of time clostetl Secondly, besides desiring uniformity of time for closing (according to the bye-laws) over the whole area of the market property, the Tradesmen's Associa- tion objected to a doorway being opened between private propert 7 and market property, as had been done in tho case of Mr Henry Davies^ who has a shop io Stepney street, and rents the market entrance shop adjoining his own private premises. A good deal of discussion ensued, and ultimately the board so far met the views of the association as to resolve that Mr Davies should be informed that, after six months from the present time, no openings between private property and market property should be permitted to exist. The resident engineer, Mr E. H. Douglas, certified 2.300 to be due to the contractors for the Cwmlliedi Reservoir, and reported on the state of the works. The puddle is now within 6ft to the level of the bed of the river, being 48ft laid in the deepest part of the trench. The rain on the 27th and 2$th ult. raised the water 3ft above the arch of the tunnel, at Its entrance, filled the trench, and will •ansa somrd du.' delay.

NEWPORT. THE BULGARIAN ATROCITIES.—A collection was made at tho Dock street Congregational Cnurch, on Saturday at the Dock street Congregational Cnurch, on Saturday morning, on behalf of the fund for relieving the destitute in Bulgaria. In consequence of the inclement weather the congregation was small. The contributions amounted I to upwards of £12.. DROWNED IN THB ALEXANDRA DOCK.-On Saturday, a man named Burridge, the chief officer of the brigantine Willie, missed his footing, owing to one of the mooring rings being in a dangerous position, and fell into the dock. Before assistance could be rendered he was drowned. THE SCHOOL BOARD. -Yesterday the monthly meeting of the Newport School Board was held at the Town Hall. Mr S. Homfray presided, and there were present Messrs Christopher, Lance, Osborne, and Charles Lewis. Mr Osborne remarked that he thought the time had come when the school visitors should devote greater attention to looking after children who did not attend school, more particularly as the extent of the borough would be increased by the ht of November next. Mr Brown and Mr Stephens, the school visitors, produced their reports. The latter complained of the mode in which the magis- trates dealt with the cases brought before them. Mr Chas. Lewis moved that the clerk be directed to write to the Education Department reminding them that by the passing of the Improvement Act the limits of the borough would be greatly increased on the 1st of Nov, next, suggesting that the Newport and St Woollos school boards should be united, and that portion of the parish of St. Woollos which will be beyond the limits of the borough be placed under the control of the united board. Mr Osborne seconded the motion, which was unani- mously adopted. It was calculated that there were about one hundred children in that part of St. Woollos which is beyond the limits of the united borough. Mr Lewis gave notice that at the next meeting he should call attention to the desirableness of making the Central Infant Board School a mixed school. There was no other business of importance. POLICE BusiNEis.-At the borough petty sessions, yesterday, before Mr H. Phillips and Mr Benjamin Evans, Bridget Lancaster, an unfortunate, was sent to prison for a month, for soliciting prostitution in Hill street and Palmyra place.T amelI Evans was fined Os for travelling on the Great Western Railway without a ticket, and also with being drunk.—George Ward was fined 21s for being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the police in the execution of their dnty.A number oi drunken chargea were disposad of.—James Reardon and Francis Woodward were both fined 10s 6d for an assault. THEFT OF WHISKEY.—At the county police court on Saturday, before Mr Thos. Gratrex, Mr L. A. Homfray, Mr F. J. Hall, Mr Joseph Fixbank, and Colonel Hey- worth, Lewis Watkins and Horatio Fox were charged on remand with stealing a quantity ot whiskey and cider from a cellar in the house of Charles Besely. Mr A. J. David, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner Watkins. Prosecutor stated that be resided at Caerau road. On the 28th of September, prisoner Watkins came to his house to put a drain in the- cellar. He saw Watkins working in the cellar at 8 o'clock in the morning and told him to make a good job. When he came home to dinner at one o'clock be saw three men drunk in the road. He went into his house and saw Watkins asleep and drunk. He (prosecutor) could not wake him. On goinsr into the cellar he found a jar of whisky nearly empty. There were two gallons in the jar in the morning, but now there were only three pints and a half. There was a cask of cider containing about 25 gallons. What quantity had been drunk he could not teli. Sus- pected the men had been drinking cider and whisky. l)id not see Fox in the cellar. William Jones, a painter, stated that on the day in question he met a man who said he had cider in his can, and asked witness to have a drop. It was a mixture of something which he drank, but had he ki ow i what it was he would not have touched it for a Is. Dia not know the man who garye it to him. It was not the prisoner Watkins. P.C. Clowes proved the apprehension of Watkins. Fox was also on the pre- mises very drunk. Ha was alao ariven into custody. The whiskey and cider had been spilt about the cellar, and the rag around the cork was soiled by marks of red clay. Prisoners denied the theft. Fox admitted having had some drink, but said he never entered the cellar at all. The bench considered the evidence inconclusive, and dismissed the charge, although they thought the cir- cumstances were very suspicious.

MAESTEG. CWMDU LocAfi BOARD OF HEALTH.—On Friday an ordinary meeting of this board was held, there being present Messrs J. Barrow (in the chair), T. Thomas, J. H. Thomas, T. L. Roberts, J. Williams, J. Chivers, M. David,andD. Grey.Sergeant Loyns reported that the state of the registered lodging houses was satisfactory upon the whole. They were not overcrowded, but there was not sufficient accommodation for vagrants. The number of tramps last week was 33 for the year ending September 1876, the number relieved was 869, and for the present year, 454. Mr Barrow read a letter from the Local Government Board, stating that the information on the plans of the proposed waterworks was insufficient to enable the board to grant consent to the board to borrow £ 5,000 on the proposed works. The matter "was referred to the Water Committee. Mr J. H. Thomas proposed, and was seconded by Mr Chivers, that Mr Griffiths, who had already tendered for the eoastruc- tion of the reservoirs, &c., be allowed to excavate and turn over 1,000 yards of puddle clay, at one shilling per cubio yard. It was decided that this contract should be kept separate from the contract for the water- works. Mr liees had received a bill of C8 10s as his portion of the cost of constructing Garnlwyd drainage. He considered the sanitary condition of the locality was not improved by the drainage, and the coet was excessive. The consideration of this matter was deferred until the next meeting. The Chairman brought forward his motion with regard to the extension of the district under the board's jurisdiction so as to include the upper hamlet of the parish of Llangynwyd. Several members were of opinion that the ratepayers of the hamlet referred to should take the initiative in this matter. On this account the question was adjourned until it had been considered at a public meeting.

THE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT LLANELLY- On Saturday evening there was a large meeting at the Athenasum of the men employed at the Bryngwyn, Glyne, Pencoed, and Oldcastle collieries, belonging to Messrs Nevill, Druce, and Co. Mr Wm- Abraham, dis- trict agent for the Miners' Union, to which the bulk of these men until recently belonged, was present, and addressed the meeting on their present condition and duty. The state of thines is this :-At Bryngwyn, the men came out a fortnight ago rather than accept of a reduction of 10 per cent, but on the third day they went back and continued to work day by day on the employers' terms. At Glyne the men came out at the same time, but the firm did not give them the option of returning like their brethren at Bryngwyn, and they are out now. At the Oldcastle, and we believe also at the Pencoed, the men met the requirements of the firm by a demand for 5 per cent increase in their wages, and the fortnight's notices expired on Saturday last. In the meeting on Saturday evening a collier proposed that the men should meet the masters half way, and offer to submit to a reduction of 5 per cent; but this proposition found only about a dozen supporters. It was then resolved by an overwhelming majority to refuse the terms of Messrs Nevill, Druce, & Co., and not to allow of a further lowering of wages. The main argument was that the men having worked only six or seven days a fortnight for the last year or so, they could not subsist on lower wages. There was also a good deal of feeling against the closing of Glyne. At the present moment, therefore, the colliers at the Nevill pits are on strika as a body. The Oldcastle men brought up their tools on Sa- turday. and' the Bryngwyn men intend to give notice to cease working to-day on the pit bank; but it is not thought that the strike will last long. It was reported on Saturday, on fairly good authority, that Messrs evill, Druce and Co-, were themselves in the coal market as purchasers for their engines and manufactories and all the tinplste works and other leading establish- ments in the districts have been fw-txwbng their coal for some time from Glamorganshire, because they do so much cheaper than tbey can buy it at home. Without a turn in the market, therefore, it is simply and utterly impos- sible to keep up prices.

CARDIFF TOWN COUNCIL. 1 A special meeting of this council was held at the Town- hall, Cardiff, yesterday. The ivlayor presided, and there were also present—Aldermen J. Pride, -) O)au Winstone, Henry J10wen. H. liiliott, Taylor, C. W. liav111; Coun- cillors D. Lewis, D. E. Jones, Fulton, T. Cross, Haper, G. A. Stone, lises Enoch, Rees J»»nt»s, A. Thomas, T. Jacobs, Dodintrton, W. Traseder, J. Evans, Vachell, Saunders, 1L Davies, Tylke, Arm- strong, T, V. Y orath, Bird, and D. Duncan. THE LAFK ALDERMAN B.KECE. A letter was read from the relatives of the late Alder- man Reece, thanking the council for their expression of sympathy with Mrs Heece on the loss of her husband. THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE QUESTION. The reports of the Watch and I'inance Committees were read, and adopted without discission. On the reading of the report of the Property and Markets Com- mittee, inir JioDLNGTON read a memorial from the butchers of Cardiff upon the subject of the proposed removal of the slaughter-bouse to Canton. The memorial, which Mr Bodington said was signed by upwards of 50 butchers, requested the Council to sanction the erection of private slaughter-houses, subject to such rules and regula tions as the board might deem expedient. The memorialists pro- tested against the proposal to compel them to slaughter at Canton, as it would result not only in considerable expense to them, but the constant passing to and from the slaughter-houses at Canton would become a great inconvenience. The memorialists reminded the Council that in several large towns private slaughter-houses were now allowed. and asked the corporation to permit the use of such slaughter-houses in Cardiff, subject to the t provisions of the Public Health Act. Mr iiodington I observed that the butchers wanted permission to slaughter on their own premise?. He did not see any serious objection to it now that they had a good system of drainage, and the thing could be done under the superintendence of the police. If they took the public slaughter-house away to Canton, he thought the butchers had a perfect right to claim the right to erect private slaughter-houses, or,at all events, to have carcase houses in which to stole their meat. Great inconvenience had arisen from the present system of hanging the meat in the slaughter-house, meat having been frequentiy.stolen. He thought it would be advisable to allow each butcher to have a place in which to hang and lock up his meat on his paying a suflicient sum to recoup the corporation for the expense arising to them. Should they not sanction the erection of private slaughter-houses, they ought at least to let the butchers have the advantage of a safe place wherein to keep the meat. He moved that the memorial be referred back to the property and markets committee for further consi- deration. Mr JACOBS seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. BTBKET NUMBERING. The MAYOR Baid it would be necessary to a dipt some uniform system of numbering the streets. Much incon- venience at present arose from the absence of any uni- form plan of numbering. It would be necessary to commence the numbering with the houses which were nearest to tho Town hall. The mayor's suggestion was unanimously agreed to. JUDGES' LODGINGS. The report of the Public Works Committee having been read, The MAT OB said in reference to the proposal to take land in Cathedral road for the purpose of erecting judges' lodgings, that Mr Sherley had asked that tbe council should first determine what they wanted the piece of land for, and tnen make application to Lord Bute. Appli- cation had already been made for some very snitable ground for their purpose by somebody wishing to build, and unless the Council took action in the matter at onee they would probably lose the chance of a very good site. There was no place in the town so suitable for the judges' lodgines as Cathedral road. It was not far from the Town hall, that district was an open one, and there was »back entrance from the villas there into the Sophia Gardens. He moved that the committee be requested to apply to Lord Bute for a. piece of ground in Cathedral road. Dr TAYLOR seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. BAD ROADS. The MAYOR read a memorial from the inhabitants of Pomeroy terrace calling attention to the bad state of the road in that district. The memorialists complained that the road was in a filthy condition in consequence of the paving not having yet been done. The same state of things existed in Stacey road, where there were no gas lamps, and the mnd was knee deep. The MAYOR said that a great number of notices bad been served upon owners of property in those new streets to carry out the necessary street improvements. Alderman ELLIOTT said he hoped the surveyor would not give a certificate stating that houses were tenantable until the street was put into a proper state. The memorial was referred to the Public Woiks Com- mittee. Alderman WINSTOSE called attention to the bad state of Upper George street. THE BOROUGH ANALYST. On the readinpof the report of tbe Sanitary Committee, Alderman BOWEN^ said the committee had ascertained the salaries of public analysts in other towns, and thev found that they were paid about £60 a: year. It wa-q now proposed that the public analyst for this town should have JE80 a-year for that office, withC20 in addition for performing the duties of gas inspector. He suggested that the matter should be referred again to the committee. Mr DUNCAN said he was prepared to go into the matter, but as the chairman of the committee suggested that it should be remitted back to the committee he would second tha.t motion. He had reason to believe that the remuneration which the committee proposed to give was altogether inadequate to the dnt;es of the office. Indeed the chemicals alone that would be required would amount to the sum which they proposed to pay. He was satisfied that it could not be a fair salary, from the fact th.,tt in the ose of a smaller appointment made at Swansea the salary of the borough analyst was fixed at £ *200 a rear, with £ 50 a year more for the inspection of gas. He could not conceive that the circumstances of the town of Swansea differed materially from the circumstances of the town of Cardiff. He thought the matter ought to b gone into again by the committee, who'should consult Mr Thomas as to the operations which he has to conduct in the discharge of his duties. Dr TAYLOR said that Mr Thomas had called upon him, and stated that he considered the amount of the salary pro- posed to be given a totally inadequate remuneration for the work required of a public aralyst in this town. The analyses were rendered much more difficult since the Dew Act came into force. Dr Taylor thought that Mr Thomas might be requested to attend a meeting of the committee. Mr REES JONES was of opinion that the sum proposed would be a quite inadequate remuneration for the ser- vices which Mr Thomas was called upon to render. In reply to Mr SANDFRS, Dr TAYLOR said that the reason why the salaries of the analysts were so low was that in many towns the persons appointed were chemists carrying on business. Under the recent Act, however, the person appointed must be an analytical chemist. The MATOR drew attention to the fact that salaries paid by the corporation were augmenting very seriously, and were considerably increasing the annual expenditure of the public monev. ) It was ultimately resolved to refer the subject to the Sanitary Committte. THE PffiE BRIGADE. The report of the Fire Brigade Committee was read. Alderman ELLIOTT pointed out that when a fire took place in the town, and a large amount of stock was destroyed, the insurance offices whose interestii were. affected either refused to pay anything for the services rendered by the fire brigade, or after a considerable delay succeeded iD reducing the sum claimed to a quite insigni- ficant amourt. If £ 10 were claimed the probability was that it would he reduced to £ f), and then, perhaps to 1:2, and ultimately, after some delay, the company would refuse to pay at all. Mr SANDERS asked if it was a fact that some of the offices were let off ? He was an Agent for an office which had had two fires in Cardiff, aad in both instances that office had paid. He thought it unfair if they did not all pay. The MAYOR said the corporation did not let any office off, but, unfortunately, they had no power to enforce payment. Some offices actually refused to pay. An I agent had told him that the insurance companies did not care about the services rendered by the fire brigade, because a good fire made people inuure. Nevertheless, it was their duty as a corporation to maintain a fire brigade, in order to protect life as well as property in the town. The report of the committee was adopted. THE HEALTH OF THE SOROUSH, The Medical officer reported that the total number of deaths registered in the Cardiff urban sanitary district during the month of September had been \)5-49 of those being males and 46 those of females. The death-rate had been 15.6 per 1,000, as against 20 per 1,000, the death- rate ruling in the 21 typical large towns enumerated by the Registrar General during the same period. The causes of death were all follows:—Zymotic or infectious diseases, 25 constitutional, 21 local. 32; development, 12 other, 1. There had been three deaths necessitating inquests. The cases of death from zymotic diseases were —fever, 3 scarlatina 9; and diarrhcea There had been two deaths from whooping couiih. Two shipg had arrived from foreign ports having cases of fever on board, viz., the Patmos and the John Byng. The usual measures of isolation and disinfection were carried out in each case. The medical officer had recently in- spected the new sewerage works at Canton, and he now recommended that the proprietors of all the houses situated on the southern portion of the district adjoining the sewer should be required to connect their drains with it as soon as possible. In consequence of the recent rates the cesspools were rapidly filling, and their contents would percolate through the adjoining soil. The medical officer also drew attention to the unsatisfactory condition of Stacey terrace, the backs of the houses on the eastern aide of Leokwitb road, and other matters requiring ..ttaatinn.. The MAYOR remarked that the death-rate in I Cardiff was very satisfactory, being '25 per cent. below tho average death-rate ruling iu the principal towns of the kingdom. Thete were fifty or sixty houses wiiich could now be connected with the sewer at Canton, and it was impoitant that they should be connected an soon as possible, a-, the cesspools were percohtmg through the sub-soil, and injurious effects might rjsult from it. He moved thst an order be made for the connection of the drains at once. Alderman DAVlD seconded the motion, and it was carried. WANT OV LIGHTING. Dr JONES drew attention to the want of lighting in a lane between Bute street and Haucau treet. Me said the danger in that lane gave rise to nuisances which were much complained of, and it was very desirable that the evil should be remedied. The matter was referred to the surveyor to report upon. PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE. Two plans of the proposed new bridge across the canal in Mill lane and plaus of the projected enlargement of the 'i'aff bridge were laid upon the tub e. The MAYOR said with regard to the two plans of the proposed new bridge in Mill lane that there wou'd be a. difference between the cost of the two when carried out of," !,0(,)0. He proposed that estimates of each be ob- tained so that the committee could make their choice. Mr jAfura said it had been rumoured that the com- mittee could not carry out their plans, and that it was intended to abandon tlit scheme for the new bridge. He asked if that was true ? The MAYOR replied that the difficulty was to decide upon the pians which should be recommended to the board for acceptance, but that had now been got over, and they had only to get in the tenders. Alderman DAVID said it appeared that the width of the carriage way on the Tail bridge was only to be increased by about 2 feet' lie thought that very little improvement. The MAYOlt observed that there had been no complaint in regard to the width of the carriage way. Mora room was required for the foot passengers, and considerably more space would be given to the footpath. The bridge would be made 45 feet wide. It was resolved to advertise at once for tenders in accordance with the several plans laid upon tho table. THE CONDITION OF UPPER GEOKGE STREET. The Surveyor having in his report drawn attention to the condition of Upper George-street he was instructed to advertise fcr tenders, and carry out the work, unless the improvements were effected before the expiration of a mouth's notice, APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. Inspector James was re-appointed officer of health and inspector of nuisances under the Sanitary Authority for the port, a question raised as t" the desirability of in- creasing bis salary being referred to a committee, David Davies, of Llandaff, toll keeper, was appointed collector of market tolls. Wm. Price, farmer, of Carding was appointed slaughter-house manager. COKPOKATJON STABLES. On the motion of Alderman WINSTONE it was resolved to advertise for tenders tor the work ot altering the Can- ton Market Hotel stables, so as to render them capable of accommodating the horsec4 of the corporation. At this !'tage of the proceedings, there being still a considerable amount of business on the agenda, and the corporation having sat for three h, 'ur and a half, Mr DUNCAN proposed that the meeting should be Rd- journed. He observed that the business towards the end of these long meetings wad generally transacted by a very tmall number of members. lie thought that in order to allow the proper consideration and discussion of tbo business, it would be advisable to have au adjourn- ment. Alderman DAVID said he fully concurred in that view, and he begged to second the proposition. It was then resolved to adjourn till Friday, and the meeting was adjourned accordingly.

->A'ou THE R. BEYNOITMEMOKIAL FUND. EISTEDDFOD AT MERTHYE. Yesterday, at the Drill-hall, Merthyr, all eisteddfod ¡.ok place, the proceeds of which wiii be devoted to the Leynon Memorial 1 und. On a circular published in July last, and to which the names of Mr John Jones, Oan-y nant hou.se, and Mr Thomas Havard, honorary secretary, are appended, these gentlemen say An effort is being made to eiect a suitable moumnent to the memory of the late Mr liosser Heyuon (Asaph Glan Taf). Mr Beyuon was well known throughout Wales as having been most zenlous in the exercise oi his extra- ordinary talents for the general improvement of all students in the elevating art of music. Especially was he devoted to the improvement of congre- gational music, and in this particular the great benefit Wales has received through his instru- mentality cannot be unknown or forgotten. His pupils are to be found in every part of Wales, aud in most dis- tricts of the civilized world where the praises of God are sung in the Welsh language. Mr Beynon departed this life iu January last, and at his interment a large con- course of friends assembled to pay him the last tribute of affection and ro.'pect and it was then suggested cunt a monument to his memory should be raised. That sug- gestion is now being carried out, and a committee has been formed with that object. It has been decided that an eisteddfod and concert should be held at Merthyr, and concerts at Dowlais and Aberdare, Liberal con- tributions have already been received from Lord Aber- dare and G. 'J'. Clark, Esq., of Dowlaia House, and the committee respectfully ask the kind co-operation of all musical leaders and choirs throughout the Princi- pality towards this worthy and. commendable object." The name ot the late liosser Beynon is closeiy identified with the Ynysgau chapel, Merthyr. The eisteddfod, which was largely attended, com- menced shortly after eleven o'clock. The Rev O. Waldo James presided, those supporting him being Mr J. Jones (the treasurer), Messrs T. Havard and J. Williams (the secretaries). The adjudicator was the Rev L, Stephen, T^nymarian. The national anthem having been sung, the Chairman delivered an address in Welsh. Mr James said You all know that Mr Thomas Wil- liamil, J.P., of Gwaelodygarth, had promised to preside at our gathering to-day, but, as our secretary will explain to you, his engagements from home make it impossible for him to be with us to-day. I feel it an honour t41 take the seat which was intended for Mr Wil- liams, and although I could not be his substitute on the magisterial bench, yet I hope that in taking the respon- sibility of presiding at this eisteddfod I shail give satis- faction to you, (Hear, hear.) Mr jbosser Beynon,whose name is 60 closely connected with this gathering, belonged to another generation-a. generation of giants in self- forgetfulness and devotion—who were more anxious to advance the musical education of the masses rather than to gain applause or money. He did all he could, aud that went a great way to- wards encouraging the young men of the different congregations to offer their time and talents on the altar of religion. Mr izosseriie-x-non was in.reality the father of a large number of musical children in this district, and I am glad that this committee have coma forward to do some- thing to keep his name in respectful remembrance. (Ap- plause.) The bards then gave their lines on the eisteddfod. The first competition was foe a prize of HIs to the best solo tc-iior who sung best I Bias Gogerc;duu (from "The Songs of Wales"). Seven competed, and the prize was divided between Philip Mauris and T. Ham- mond, both of Merthyr. Mr David Bowen, of Dowlais, next rendered a solo on the piano. The Rev E. Stephen (Tanymarian) then proceeded to give his adjudication in the competition for the prize of £ 1 offered to the person who wrote the best epitaph for Mr Rosser Beynon's tombstone. The prize was taken by "A.B.C. who did not answer to his name. The epitaph written by the winner was as follows "Tmaynlsel me unoweision Miwusf &I m.iTvred'l y' mysaf y meirwon, Cov;ai dirwest, ac atbraw cmtorion L'ui.odrt y' .Ng-walin, dan lr-.wdd rngylion, lie y.¡ Iesucys-Vi lioson—a'l tfrild Ro'es wir i.>boayclU i Rossrr Beynott," There were 38 competitors. The Rev E. Stephen saag Llwyn Onn it a happy manner. The prize of 2s 6d for the best impromptu speech was taken by Charles M. Davies, of Cefn. The next competition was for a prize of 10s for the best rendering of the solo Onme unto Him," by a female. There were only two competitors. The adjudi- cator awarded the prize to Mrs Tlellerman. A prize of jC2 was offered for the best anthem on the 4th and 5th verses of the 30th Psalm. There were 18 competitors, and the successful one was Mr D. Emlyn Evans, of .Swansea. The next contest was in the rendering of Eifionydd" and Dusseldorf" by tha choir of a congregation not under 40 in number, who had not before won j315. The prize was £ 8. The competing choirs were Hebron choir, Dowlais, and Tabernacle choir, Tdantwit Vardre. The adjudicator awarded the prize to the T.Ian twit Vardre choir, the leaner of which was Mr John Lewis, choir, the leaner of which was Mr John Lewis, Welsh sones having been rendered by Mrs Evans, of Dowlais, and M r Gwilym Dar, there followed the prin- cipal competition of the day, for a prize of £ 23, offered to the choir not under 100 in number that would sing best Lift up your heads," from the Messiah. The choirs competing were Hirwain choir No I (leader, Gwilym Cynon), Tydfil united choir (leader. Mr John 1 Rogers), Penvdarren united choir (leader, Mr Samuel Edward- Caersalem choir, Dowlais (leader Mr James Jones), Bethania united choir, Dowlais (leader, Mr John Evans). The Rev E. Stephen awarded the prize to the Bethania choir, Dowlais, a decision which was the signal for much cheering. This concluded the Eisteddfod. In the evening » grand concert was given in the Drill Hall. Mr Charleu Herbert James was announced to take the chair.

BRYNMAWR. OBSTRUCTION.—At the petty sessions, on Monday, before Messrs L. Powell and B. Jayne, Benjamin Watkins, haulier, in the employ of Mr E. Phillips, brewer, of Abergavenny, was charged by eant Joseph with obstructing the thoroughfare. Mr G. A. Jones appeared for the defence- Polico-cormtsbie W. Davies and Police-sergeant Joseph proved that the dray, with two horses, which defendant had charge of, was standing near the Prince of Wales for ten minutes to a quarter of an hour, with no one in charge of it. It was right across the road, so that hardly a wheelbarrow could pass. Defendant was fined 5s and costs. CWRW BACH.—Ann Jones Price, of Beaufort, was charged with selling beer without a licence. Certain witnesses not being precent the ease was adjourned for a month. THE IRISH Row.-Mary Ann Haney and her husband, Peter, were charged with assaulting, and doing grevious bodily harm to Mary Driscoll, and Peter and reddy Driscoll, sons of Mary Driscoll, were also charged with assaulting Mary Ann Haney. rhis was the Irish row which had been before the bench twice and adjourned. Mr Leonard Browne appeared for the Haneys, and said this case was adjourned from last sourt to enable the defendants to find the money to pay the costs incurred, and also to find sureties to be bound over. Unfortunately his dieot, Peter Haney. had been ill since the adjournment, and was, therefore, unable to to find the money, and asked the bench 14 still further adjourn the case for a fortnight. Mary Driscoll.; Sure I won't; I'll press the charge; go on with it to-day. Mr Browne Will you let me speak ? Complainant: No, I won't. After some discussion between the bench, the clerk, and Mr Browne, it was decided to hear the case. Complainant said: I was in my own house. I don't remember the date. Mary Ann Haney came into the house. She had a poker or soldering iron with her. Complainant was draining the potatoes, when Mary Ann hit her on the head with the soldering iron several times. As she was striking her she said, I'll knock your brains out." She went out, and the children went to the window, when Mary Ann flung some stones into the window and into the house. The children went upstairs and cried Murder." Defendant did not bit her after she went out of the house. Cross-examined by Mr Browne: She was not drunk, and had not been kicking up a row with defendant on the Snnday; neither did she attempt to kiss Peter Haney. She was an old woman, and would scorn the aetien. She did not see her sons strike Peter Haney. She had been in this court twice before, and once was sent to gaol for 14 days. Dr Skrimshire laid he was called to see complainant, who had several scalp wounds, and a wound over the eye. f?he was also suffering from concussion of the brain. He dressed the wounds and attended her. She was now quite well. In answerto Mr Browne, the doctorsaid complainant was excited, and was angering from alcohol. She had been drinking freely, David White, plasterer, said that on the 11th September, about three o'clock, he heard a row, and went down near complainant. He saw Peter Driscoll and Peter Haney scuffling together on the ground. He went into the house and saw Mrs Driscoll covered with blood. He picked her up and tried to atop the blood until Dr Skrimshire came, when be held her head while the doctor dressed it. In answer to Mr Brown, witness said he did not see the commencement I :>{ the row, neither did he see Haney do anything. ,aret James, living near, add that on the day named she heard a row, went out, and saw Peter Hanev come out of DriecolTs house covered with blood. After a little time she heard another row,went out,and saw Mary Ann Haney standing on the pavement with a soldering iron in her hand. Mrø Driscoll came out and emptied a saucepan full of hot water over Mrs Haney, who then pit Mrs Haney over the head with the soldering iron. Mrs Driscoll commenced the row. Peter Driscoll laid if Mra Haney did not go away his mother ihould fight her. and he would flgjkt Peter Haney. Com- plainant did not like the evidence given by {his witness, jtnd frequently wispered to the wftness, and a policeman had to go between them. Mr Browne addressed the beach for the Haneys, and the bench said that for the peace of the neighbourhood they thought the best plan would be to bind all the parties over to keep the peace for six months, costs to be equally divided. In defanlt of finding sureties, the parties were removed to the cella.
