SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1877.…
SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1877. Writing yssterdajr, our Monmouth corres- pondent states that the floods in the county do not appear to subside. The town of Monmouth and the country for miles around is submerged, churches, and places of worship generally, and railway stations being under water. Large num- bers of residents of Monmouth have been driven up to their bedrooms, and are obliged to be fed through the windows. The river Monnow was still rising yesterday, and that circumstance was the cause of much alarm. Mr Brewer, coroner, held an inquiry at New- port yesterday touching the death of a farm servant named William Hanbury, who had suc- cumbed to shocking injuries he received on the 29th ult. On that day, whilst loading manure from a heap on the Marshes, about 15 tons became loosened and fell on him. He was seriously in- jured, and died in a couple of days afterwards. A verdict of accidental death was returned. At the Cardiff police-court, yesterday, William I Rees, a coal trimmer, was brought up on remand charged with maliciously wounding Ann Rees, his wife, It will be recollected that it was given in evidence at the former hearing that the prisoner struck his wife with a poker, inflicting a very serious wound, and afterwards attempted to commit suicide. The bench committed the prisoner for trial at the next assizes. Last night a meeting was held at Elm street schoolroom, Roath, Cardiff, to consider the pro- priety of reimbursing Messrs Lougher and Bless- ley, the unseated candidates for the Roath Ward, the expenses they have incurred in connection with the recent inquiry. Mr Councillor Arm- strong presided, and after several addresses had been delivered, subscriptions were taken, and promises to the amount of R30 were made. A committee was formed to collect further subscrip- tions. John Howe, a letter carrier, was charged, at the Llantrisant petty-sessions, yesterday, with steal- ing, on or about the 30th of June last, a packet containing a wateh. On the above date Mr Goldstein, Bute terrace, Cardiff, posted a packet containing the watch at the the Cardiff office, but it never arrived at its destination. On New Year's day the prisoner attempted to pawn the watph at Cardiff, but did not succeed. The prisoner admitted the theft, and was committed for trial at the assizes. < A service in recognition of the Rev J. E. Man- ning, M.A., the new minister of the Unitarian Chapel, Swansea, was held yesterday morning in that place of worship. The Rev Mr Higginson Jheartily welcomed his successor in a famwell letter which was read by Mr J. H. Rowlands, of Neath. The Rev James Drummond, M.A.. Theo- logical Professor in Manchester New College, and Dr Vance Smith, Principal of Carmarthen College, took part in the service. Hydrophobia continues to spread in Glamor- ganshire to an alarming extent. On Tuesday last a black-and-tan tefrier, belonging to a man named Miller, at Pontypridd, was at large in a mad state, and bit between 20 and 30 dogs. All of them were promptly destroyed. Yesterday morn- ing two mad dogs were discovered at Llantrisant. Superintendent Matthews made an application at the Llantrisant petty sessions, yesterday, for permission to issue notices calling attention to the Statute dealing with the matter. The appli- cation was immediately granted. The police of Cardiff have received instructions to secure all dogs roving about the streets. It is reported that efforts will be made to divide the existing dioceae of the Bishop of Glouceater and Bristol, and to constitute Bristol as a separate See. The Archbishop of Canterbury is at present on a visit to the Bishop of Glouces- ter and Bristol, and it is stated that the Primate's object ia to confer on the above matter. On Thursday night, the screw-steamer Camel on a voyage to Newport waa, owing to the gale, placed in a perilous position, but assistance being at hand she was towed into Holyhead. When the steamer was a few miles off Bardy, she met the full force of the gale, and the captain ordered two anchors to be lowered. This w" done,.bu withstanding the vessel dragged, and was drifting on to the breakwater, when a steam-tug was hailed.

The inquiry into the Arlesley railway collision was resumed and concluded yesterday. Captain Tyler attributed the accident to want of caution on the part of the deceased engine driver, to the absence of adequate rules for carrying out the block system, and to the want of efficient break power. The jury returned a verdict to that effect, and exonerated the railway officials at Arlesey from all blame. Yesterday a Conference, attended by the mayors of the principal towns of England, was held at Birmingham, for the purpose of concert- ing measures for bringing before the Commis- sioners of the Exhibition of 1851 the claims of provincial towns to participate in the funds at their disposal. A resolution was passed, urging the propriety of the Commissioners realising the property under their control, and of applying it in part to grants in aid of building museums in connection with municipal corporations, and i making provision for the purchase of objects suitable for exhibition in such museums.
WORKMEN'S CLUBS.
WORKMEN'S CLUBS. IT is a question still hotly debated whether legis. lation should interfere at all with the tastes and habits of the people and, if it should, whether it is possible to modify or change these habits- to any appreciable extent-by making the gratifi- cation of them difficult or costly. If it were possible to make a people sober and tem- perate by legislative enactment there would be no insuperable objection to try the expensive aud tentative experiment advocated by Mr CHAMBERLAIN at Birmingham we have small faith, however, in legislation as a reforming agency in social morals, and are thoroughly con- vinced that it will be for ever impossible to make people sober, moral, or religious by Act of Par- liament. To reform and elevate demands the employment of an agency directly counteractive of the evils to be destroyed and habits and customs can only be under- mined by the slow but sure process of instilling other habits and customs, and by the elevating influences of education. That this ia the view entertained by so experienced an apostle of social reform and improvement as Mr BRIGHT is evident from his Rochdale speech, and it is strongly and earnestly sustained in a letter published in yesterday's Times, from the well kuown wine-importers, Messrs H. R. WILLIAMS & Co. Mr BRIGHT contended, as our readers will remember,that while legislation was almost power- less as a reforming agency, it could, nevertheless, j restrain some of the overt evils of modern society, and, especially by a better and more stringent regulation of public-houses, diminish the now- existing temptations offered to men to take more drink than they ought. Beyond this Mr BRIGHT has small hope of legislation effecting any per- manent improvement in the character and habits of the people. It cannot restrain evil dispositions or dissolute morals, or inculcate the virtues of temperance and sobriety. Evil i habits can only be eradicated by a gradual im- provement in* morals by the influence of a better example in those who profess allegiance fc to the higher morality; by the moral force i which is the resultant of a healthy system I of national education and by the creation | of such ameliorating agencies as workmen. | institutes and clubs in every town and district. To these and similar elevating influences, and no-l to legislation,Mr BRIGHT looks for the suppression of drunkenness,and for the social and moral eleva. tion of the British people. The moral influence of a club or an institute is a highly important, factor in the improvement of the people. There i no moral influence inherent in the Gothenburg system of licensing public-houses so ably advocated by Mr CHAMBEKLAIN, vastly superior though th system is to the present reckless and debauchi system of licensing. It is true that in the Gothew burg system the managers of public-houses hav<. no direct or personal interest in inducing perso to drink, or in supplying them with drink, aØ to that extent it is a great improv ment upon the present system. But a properly conducted workmen's club, not oulf- has the manager no personal intera in supplying customers with drink, but the in terests and the more complete success of the club. lies in the direction of the customer not drinki at all. These cltrbs consequently exert a restrain ing influence upon the members, and tend t encourage habits of temperance and sobriety an of self-restraint. There is, in addition, a publi opinion to which the members are necessarily amenable. Men are largely influenced by tb general opinions of the persons with whom the associate,and the public opinion of a club to whic a man belongs will tell largely upon his habits a opinions. As Mr BRIGHT appropriately and tru stated, public opinion has put down duelling, a public opinion, perhaps, may put downintemps) ance. I hope," were his words, "the publi opinion of the club may have this effect, and th it may gradually convince all the members th the club would be infinitely better nobody drank, if nobody got drunk, 3 all the members were moderate to the higlJ j degree, and that this system will grow and do that which the Gothenburg system is f1; j competent to Jlo-although it may do great g J —it will bring the force of opinion, which is of i more powerful than law. and change the habi the low and degrading habits, which I am sorry f say are not absolutely avoided among any class our population in regard to the consumption". im intoxicating drinks." jt » How far these habits have been created IP fostered by the monopoly which the public-ha a system possesses is a most important question the consideration of the moralist and the religi tl teacher. What conrvenient and suitable places 11 resort are there pnovided in any of the la, £ towns of South Wales for the use of work: ir men, save the public-house ? Take a C jol where a score or two of workmen are emplo i in any particular work. The majority of tb live too far away .to go home to breakfast dinner, and they connequently bring their w with them. There is no workmen's club > institute of which they might avail themself m and they are absolutely compelled by sheer neC co sity to go to a publuv-house to eat their dinner unless they eat it in th., public streets. But tV public-house has its temptations, and they cavfl0* of course, use the housts without calling for driv "tie The mischief of this practice is incalculabj tis but with no other 'place to go l PC what can working .men do ? Messrs Jf R. WILLIAMS and Co., in their valn letter to the Times, stato, as the result of tbf « observation after long exp erience, that the dr .et ing habits of workmen are contracted chiefly) not solely, in pursuit of shelter and conifo there being no other available-place for them t M public-houses. This is their conclusion fit xv obaerntiona made in connection with their 0 ,*< workmen during the d;rk -,how. aud at A.
