TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1879. .
TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1879. The Cardiff magistrates have ordered the closing of several wells, the water from which is impure. One of iha defendants, a milk seller, contended that the well was necessary to enable him to carry on his business, as the water from it was colder than that from pipes. The annual inspection of the second administrative battalion of Volunteers for the county of Monmouth took place at New- port market on Monday afternoon. The inspecting officer, Colonel Cotton, at the conclusion, expressed his satisfaction with the manner in which the men performed their drill. Three men were committed for trial at Cardiff, yesterday, on a charge of stealing champagne. They purloined two cases of the seductive fluid from the Crichton Arms, and sold part of it to the landlord of the Vulcan Inn, pocketing the remaining bottles apparently for private consumption. At Pentre petty-sessions, on Monday, Richard Jones, shopkeeper, Ton-Ystrad, for having ninety-nine pounds and a half of powder in his shop, while he had a registra- tion certificate for only allowing him to have 50 lbs., was ordered to pay ls for each pound above the registration number. Two other parties were fined for similar offences.

In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Selborne called attention to the fact that Spain was breaking her treaty engagements in respect to putting down the slave trade. Lord Salisbury made what Lord Granville subsequently called an apologetic speech for the Spanish authorities, but promised to present papers on the subject. The second readmg of the Army Discipline Bill was am-fifid to after a slight discussion. I In the House of Common.?, Mr Ciiaplin gavo notice of a motion mien-led to prevent obstruction, by limiting the number of times that a member can speak. Sir M. W. Ridley, in reply to a question, said that by the Industrial Schools Bill it was proposed to give a Scho.il Board, or a combination of such Boards, power to establish training ships. The House then went into Committee of Supply. Tile Wesleyan Conference will begin this morning. Ti e book committee sat yester- day, aLd received the resignation of the Rev. Dr Jobson, who has been book steward for 14 years. The Fernley lecture was given by the Ruv. A. French, D.A. Every elfert to secure a full night for the debate on Sir Charles Dilke's motion on the unfulfilled articles of the Berlin Treaty having failed, the subject will probably be lost sight of for the Session after a few hours' discussion to-night. The motion will come on at nine o'clock, when a House will be marie by the Liberal members, to whom a whip is to be issued. Mr Glad- stone is the only occupant of the front Opposition bench who wiil find an oppor- I tunity of speaking, and no division is to be taken, as the debate will probably be ad- jonr.led sine die, it. having been found im- possible to induce the hon. members having motions on the paper for Friday night to give way in order to allow of its continuance. Mr Tracy Turnerelli's engagement to lecture last nirrht at Birmingham Acquanum on the Be aeon sli eld Wreath, has fallen through, owing to the managers withdrawing their consent to allow Mr Turnerelli to say anything offensive about the Premier. At a meeting held in London, yesterday, it was decided that a memorial of a personal c1: a acter should be erected in some public place in honour of the late Lord Lawrence. The family of Lord Lawrence wished to undertake the erection of a memorial in Westminster Abbey themselves. On Monday morning a man, fearfully in- jured, was found on the line at Shrewsbury station. He declared that during the night some men had thrown him over a wall on to a set of offices, from whence he rolled on to the metals. A conference of ironworkers of Stafford- shire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire was held yesterday, at Wednesbnry, when it was resolved to form a new association for these three counties. The second of the 100-ton guns was proved at Woolwich yesterday. One round was fired, and the result was similar to that of the 100-ton gun tried last week. Cardinal Newman, speaking yesterday at Birmingham, said 30 or 40 years ago he found it impossible to stem the current of popular feeling addressed to him. He found that patience and waiting was all that was left for it. That was but a trifle of difficulty compared with the terrible ob- stacles which confronted the Catholic Cham- pion of England in the 16th century.

Mr Drummond, one of the British repre- sentatives in the United States, has sent home a report, in which he says :—" During the year ended June 30th, 1878, the value both of cotton and breadstuff's exported to the United Kingdom exceeded the value of the total imports of merchandise from the United Kingdom into the United States." This short paragraph sums up the present commercial bearings of the two countries. In the Italian Chamber of Deputies yesterday, Signor Cairolo declined to J; make any statement on the Greek Frontier question, as the Powers had pledged them- selves to secrecy with respect to that subject. The yellow fever epidemic is spreading at Memphis, in the United States. The New York telegrams report GO fresh cases, and a dispatch from Memphis direct says that four deaths occurred on Sunday.
-------.....-LORD CHELMSFORD…
LORD CHELMSFORD INSULTS THE 2ND-24TH REGIMENT. LORD CHELMSFORD has just perpetrated a blunder which is worse than a crime. He has insulted the 2nd-24th Regiment, on a point of all others which not only wounds soldiers deeply, but which it is difficult to atone for. As there are many Welshmen in the regiment, the facts will be fol- lowed with interest by the mass of our readers. It will be remembered that on the fatal field of Isandula one branch of the gallant 24th Regiment was decimated. The 2nd Battalion of the regiment, however, suffered, comparatively speaking, only a small loss in men, and it was pare of this battalion which sustained the heroic and never-to-be-forgotten defence of Rorke's Drift. The places of the deci- mated battalion were speedily filled by volun- teers from home regiments, and the officers were principally selected from the Guards. If Lord CHELMSFORD'S words were worth anything, after he had realised the horrors of Isandula, it was the 2nd Battalion of the 24th Regiment which not only saved the honour of England, but the colony of Natal from the horrors of a Zulu invasion. In proof that this battalion had behaved with exceptional bravery, more of their num- ber have been gazetted for the Victoria Cross—the cross of valour—than any other regiment in the service. Despite these facts, so creditable to the 2nd-24th Regiment, Lord CHELMSFORD has contrived to wound the soldiers composing it in the most sensitive part-their courage and capacity in the face of the enemy. We should be disposed to doubt the allegation were it not that it is duly set forth in a letter which appears in the London Standard of yesterday, signed THOMAS Ross, Major-General, late commanding 2nd Battalion 24th Regiment." General Ross says his old battalion are much puzzled, and naturally aggrieved at being left behind, when Lord CHELMSFORD commenced his present advance into the enemy's country. The men are, for the most part, old soldiers and well-seasoned, who have had experience in the Kaffir war which preceded the in- vasion of Zululand. There is, con- sequents, no ground for assuming that they are incapable, physically, to sustain their share in the perils of the campaign. What, then, do our readers imagine is the cause which has operated in Lord CHELMSFORD'S mind in preventing the 2-24th Regiment from advancing to the front with the other Regiments in the field ? That they v:ere an unlucky Regiment That a full-chested Englishman should pin his faith to old women's gossip of this kind is most humiliating, and shows conclusively what a carpet-soldier Lord CHELMSFORD is. General Ross remarks, in his communication to the Standard, that in the letter which furnishes him with the news, iL is argued— Two negatives make an affirmative, and the so-called unlucky Regiment and the unlucky General might between them do something." This is a rough soldierly way of putting the matter, but it is suggestive. Either Lord CHELMSFORD over-praised the Regiment for its doings in 1878, and in con- nection with Isandula and Rorke's Drift, or he is undervaluing the brave men composing it now. What, it may be asked, are the men of the 2nd Battalion doing? Much to their disgust, they are broken up into detach- ments on the frontier, and occupied in such odd jobs as wood-cutting, the loading and unloading of waggons, &c. This is work that is no doubt necessary in its way, but might the partially invalided or weak men of the several regiments, not have been good enough for such odd jobs ? Lord CHELMS- FORD has not been left in peace over the insult to the 2nd Battalion of the 24th Regiment. General NEWDIGATE, who com- manded it at Chatham, is stated to have urged as a personal favour that the men of the 2-24th Regiment be permitted to form part of the advancing column. In this he was joined by his staff, by Colonel GLYN and his staff, and by all the members, except one, of Lord CHELMSFORD'S staff, but without avail. A thoroughly trained soldier, who has once felt the un- definable joy of battle, is like a thoroughly- trained racer—he quivers with excitement at the very thought of again mixing in the fray. Remembering that the men of the 2nd Battalion were anxious to wipe out Isandula, the treatment they have received at Lord CHELMSFORD'S hands is shameful in the extreme. The country generously gave Lord CHELMSFORD a chance to retrieve his blundering on the dav the butchery of Isandula took place, and he, of all men, should have l'emembered to do likewise by the humMest man in his camp. The 2nd Battalion of the 2ith Regiment had nothing to answer for. I) the eyes of the country tlioy were heroes—Lord CHELMSFORD a b'uadorer. The blunderer is kept before tiie country as a soldier who may have been misunderstood—the heroes arc shunted into a corner, and made hewers of wood and drawers of water, while to make matters worse, the re-formed 1st Battalion, with guardsmen at its head, are included in the fighting columns That- the men of the 2nd Battalion are crying out against the oJ '0 'J injustice and insult meted out to them is only natural. Lord CHELMSFORD will be held strictly to account by the country. His Lordship has contrived to create more difficulties and unpleasantness than any commander of his time. He was unable to work peacefully with Sir HENRY BULWER, yet Sir GARNET WOLSELEY telegraphs that Sir HENRY has rendered him important ser- vice, and continues to do so. The new Commander in Zululand aopears to be co-operating more with the views of Sir IIESRY BULWER than with those ot Sir BAPVTLE FMRE, and the judiciousness of Sir HENRY'S mind has just been strikingly shown in a dispatch which has seen the light for the first time. Ho states that peace has been kept partly because the late King PAXDA, the only Zulu sovereign with whom we have practical i}7 had anything to do, was a ruler of a milder and more amenable type than "King CETEWAYO. While admitting that it may be necessary to deal with the Zulu KING and the Zulu war party at some time, Sir HENRY BULWER thinks we should discriminate between the well-disposed portion of the Zulu nation and the war party—between the non-aggressive element and the aggressive element, and not to include all under one comprehen- sive condemnation as a warlike and hostile people; for, he adds, to so consider and treat them would be to make the Zulu ques- tion greater and more formidable to be dealt with than perhaps it need be, and its per- manent settlement more difficult. In not a single despatch from the High Commissioner in South Africa, do we find so judicious a view of the Zulu question as Sir PIENRY'S language implies. Apparently Sir GARNET WOLSELEY has been influenced by Sir BUMVEIÓ opinions and methods, and these moderating influences may have much to do withahumanesettlementof theZnlu question. A few days later news is to hand from Zulu- land. A Capetown telegram, dated June 4, intimates that on the 30th of June, Lord CHELMSFORD had reached within ten miles of Ulundi. There he was met by messengers from CETEWAYO, to whom it was made plain that hostilities would only be stopped if the original demands were complied with. The tender point, of course, is the disarmament of the Zulu impis. Decisive news may, there- fore, be expected in the course of the week.
--... .----------------THE…
THE REAPPEARANCE OF YELLOW FEVER AT MEMPHIS. THOSE who are interested in the Southern States of America will learn with regret that the dreaded yellow fever seems to have taken complete hold of Memphis, in the State of Tennessee. For several days past reports of cases, increasing in gravity, have been tele- graphed from New York. Thus, on Saturday, the Memphis report was to the effect that two more deaths, in addition to those previously reported, had occurred, and that fresh cases were increasing. On Sunday four deaths occurred, and the number of fresh attacks had increased. A New York dispatch, of Monday'a date, announces that 60 fresh cases had occurred at Memphis. The result of this will be utter stagna- tion in business. Last week it was stated that the Memphis banks meditated closing that the municipal authorities proposed removing to more healthy localities, and that quaran- tine had been imposed in several towns of the Southern States against persons arriving from Memphis. All this points to a probable renewal, along the line of the Mississippi and elsewhere, of the terrible scenes of last year, when not fewer than fifteen thousand persons fell victims to tho yellow fever epidemic. Temporarily defective sanitary arrangements were credited with the outbreak of 1878-notably the state of malarious lagoons—and it was stated that improvements were contem- plated so as to arrest the plague; but nothing, apparently, has been done, and Yellow Jack" is at his work again. We know nothing of yellow fever in England, but it is reckoned among the malignant or blood-poisoning forms of the terrible disease.
--ANNUAL INSPECTION OF VOLUNTEERS…
ANNUAL INSPECTION OF VOLUN- TEERS AT N EWPOUT. On Monday afternoon the annual inspection of the corps comprising the Second Administrative Uattnlion of Volunteers for the county of Mon- mouth, took place at the Newport Market, which w.«s substituted for the Marshes, in consequence of the heavy rains having rendered the latter place like a quagmire. With the exception of the area bemr somewhat limited the market suited admirably. The battalion mustered strongly, there being a total attendance of 528 out of a possible attendance of 630, and only 30 of this number were absent without leave. The corps consisted of the 4th Mon. (Blaenavon), 81; Oth Monmouth Corps, (i(5; 7th Mou. (Newport), 240; 8th Mon. (Usk), 61; 9th Mon. (Abergavenny), 98; with the battalian staff, a total of 526. The in- specting officer w .s Colonel Cotton, assisted by It captain of the 6:Jth Regiment as aide-de-camp. Colonel Burton was in command of the battalion assisted by Captain and A ljutant Phipps, and there were also present Major Hair, Major Wyndhain Jones, Captain Oliver Goss, Cap- tain Williams, Lieutenant Jones, Lieu- tenant Goss, and the captains and officers of the several corp3 respectively. Colonel Relph now on the retired list, Colonel Byrde, Dr. Mor- gan, and others not on active duty, were present in uniform. A com: any of the Third Monmouth- shire Corps, under Lieut. Brya.n, kept the ground. The attendance of the general public was unusu- ally numerous, and more interest was evinced in these military evolutions than for some years past. It is satisfactory to learn that the respective corps keep up their maximum strengta in a much better state of efficiency than heretofore. The new army regulations being more stringent, it has had the effect of inducing a greater attention to drill, and the consequent ad- vantage of a greater number of efficient volun- teers. No lajgards are now permitted, and recruiis have literally to win their uniforms before they can wear them. This is as it should be, and no doubt the adoption of strict discipline in this respect has given praiseworthy impetus to volunteering. Certain it is that the corps in this battalion (if a few volunteers be exempted) never looked better, nor have they ever pre- sented a more martial appearance. Having formed into companies, the volunteers ere put through the battalion movements uuder the close and scrutonising eye of the in- specting-officer, and the various evolutions were admirably gone through. The only defect ap- peared to be v. ant of space in wheeling round. Old troopers watched the companies as they marched past, aud declared that all things being comudered, the movements were most creditably done. A well-worn soldier, who once was at- tached to the 17th Monmouthshire Corps, ex- pressed his pride at seeing the old corps do its work so well. Sentiments like these might stand for little were they not backed up by the utterances of the inspecting officer, Col. Cotton, an officer of great military experience. At the close of the movements, he addressed a few words to Col. Burton and his fellow-officers, anJ, through them, to the corps. The gallant officer ,aU that ha was highly pleased with what he had seen, and only regretted that the limited area of the ground had prevented the companies from carrying out in their completeness the whole of the battalion movements. He had seen suffi- cient to justify him in saying that such volunteers were capable of doing anything they were commanded to do. If he was spared, and it became his duty to inspect them again, probably the ground selected would betnore ex- tensive, and the movements would be given with greater completeness. It would be his pleasure to report most favourably of the battalion to the Government. Such testimony as this cannot fail to be highly flattering to the commander and officers of the battalion and respective corps, as well as to the entire body of volunteers. The inspection having concluded, the men were draw n up in a line, and m arched on the ground, the Newport Corps escorting their com- rades through the streets to the railway station, followed by a large crowd of spectators. It is some time since so large a body of volunteers passed through Newport collectively.

POLITICAL NOTES. 4- [SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] [FROM OUR PARLIAMENTARY CORRESPONDENT.] HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY NIGHT. Thee seems to be a fatality against any attempt to settle the question of procedure in Parliament. It has been tried at various epochs by the Government, .but invariably without any other result than that of bringing discomfiture on the authors of the attempt, At the present time there stand Ul on the order book of t' ,e House a number of resolutions, poitions of the great scheme introduced early in the Session by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and from which he was glad to retire, having mod the honour of the Government by passing one resolution, Tae meeting of private members, of which I told you the other night, seems threatened with a similar fate. It had one weak point, inasmuch as Mr Chaplin Lal either been invited or had volunteered to take part in the deliberations, Mr Chaplin is, perhaps, one of the worst men in the Hou>e for such a position. He has on many occa.sions volunteered to lecture private members from Mr Gladstone downwards, and as a conse- quence has earned the character of a meddlesome, an 1 not very man. To-night he has rushed forward v.ith a long pnl impossible notice with respect to the discipline of the House, wldc, received its death-blow almost at its birth, being received with laughter from one side of the House. I understand that Mr Chaplin took this course on his own responsibility. This is not a good sign. In the meantime, obstruction is as r;nv>ant as ever..Mr Parnell has gone down to Ennis to help « candidate who is opposed by all moderate gentlemen of his perty. lu his absence 11r O'Connor Power and Mr U'Doine have seized the opportunity of distinguishing them- selves, and all night long the Government have been trying to get some votes on the Irish Esti- mates. With respect to the IrLh University Bill, which comes on next Thursday, Mr Shaw, the leader of tiie Home Rulers, will move an Amend- ment. The terms are not yet decided upon, but the Amendment will be in general terms, and will be uesigned to draw out the Government. I have good reason to know that the Government have decided, in the event of anything like de- termined opposition on the part of tl)e Irish mem- bers, to abandon the Bill, and throw upon the Obstructionists the odium of preventing the pas- sage of a measure designed for the benefit of Ire- land. The Amy Bill is passing through the Lords at a gallop. The forms of that House are much more elastic than in the Commons, and a Ministry liaviiii,, a strong majority c"n do pretty much as they please. The second reading was passed after a few remarks from Earl Granville, and, en- couraged by the a titude of the Opposition, it was moved to negative the proposal to go into Com- mittee. The Bill will, therefore, be read a third time to-morrow, and passed.
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF…
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF ENGLAN D AND WALES. The Congregationalists certainly occupy a highly dis inguished place in the religious annals of the country. Their I)istor.1- is by no means dull, bnt, on the contrary, replete with interest. They have played a most important point in the re- ligious life-the social progress and the political advancement of the people. Their conduct has certainly not been one of selfish isolation or cold indifference to the religious movements that have taken phce. While being strongly imbued with a sense of their own denominational individuality, they have contributed, and that largely, in secur- ing that toleration, freedom of conscience, and re- ligious liberty, which is claimed as our boasted heritage and right. Their pulpit at the present day is distinguished by a vigour of thought, and candour of expression, that amply testifies to its culture and the sincerity of its conviction. As a form of church polity it is among the simplest, claiming to be laid upon the strict lines of New Testament teaching. "They hold," as they themselves say, "it to be the will of Christ that true believers should voluntarily assemble together to ob -erve religious ordinances, to pro- mote mutual edification and holiness, to perpetuate ar.d propagate the Gospel in the world, and to advance the glory and worship of God, through Jesus Christ; and that each society of believers, having these objects in view in its formation, is properly a Christian church. They believe the New Testament contains, either in the form of express statute, or in the example and practice of apostles and apostolic churches, all the principles of order and discipline requisite for constituting and governing Christian societies and that human traditions, fathers and councils, canons and creeds, possess no authority over the faith and practice of Christians. They acknowledge Christ as the only Head of the Church their apueal on all questions touching their religious faith and practice is to the Sacred Scriptures that the New Testament authorises every Christian church to elect its own officers, to manage all its own affairs, and to stand indepen- dent of, and irresponsible to, all authority, saving that only of the Supreme and Divine Head of the Church, the Lord Jesus Christ. "That no church or union of churches has any right or power to interfere with the faith or discipline of any other church, further than to separate from such as in faith or practice depart from the go-pel of Christ." In strict. keeping with this the Con- gregational Union of England and Wales lays it down as a fundamental principle of its existence that it recognises the right of every individual church to administer its affairs free from external control, and that it shall not in any case assume legislative authority, or become a court of appeal; its object being—to uphold and extend EvungeliciJj religion primarily in connection with clit-relies of ti e Congregational order; to promote scriptural views of church fellowship and organization; to strengthen the fraternal relations of the Congrega- tional churches aud facilitate co-operation in everything affecting their common interest; to maintain correspondence with the Congre- gational churches and other Christian com- munities throughout the world to ob- tain statistics relating to Congregational churches at home and abroad, to assist in pro- curing perfect religious equality for all British subjects, and in promoting reforms bearing on their moral and social condition." The work it has successfoily accomplished in this direction is most gratifying, for we find on reference to the Congregational Year Book for 1879, that there are in connection with the denomination in England 2,071 churches, 310 branch churches, 831 preach- ing stations. 172 evangelical stations, 18 lay pastors with churches, 177 churches variously supplied, and 233^vacant churches. In Wales we find they have 546 churches, 282 branch churches, 83 preaching stations, 60 English churches, four English preaching stations, 104 vacant Welsh churches, and 15 vacant English churches. In Scotland there are 110 churches and 10 vacant churches. In Ireland they have 38 churches and four vacant. In the islands of the British Seas they have 17 churches and two vacant. In Canada and Newfoundland they have 120 cburchcs and 13 vacant. In Australia 110 churches, 112 preach- ing station8, and 11 vacant. In New Zea- land there are 20 churches and three vacant. In Natal two churches and 10 preaching stations. In Cape Colony there are, independent of the London Missionary Society,21 churches, aud one vacant. In Jamaica also independent of the London Mis ionary Society, 12 churches. In British Guiana 12 churches. In India six churches, and in China two churches. There are a total of 1,983 English ministers in England and Wales—some without pastorates 490 Welsh ministers, 122 ministers in Scotland, 25 in Ireland, six in the Channel Islands, seven on the Continent, 139 missionaries of the Loudon Missionary Society, and 353 native ordained ministers, making a total of 3,426 minis- ters in all. There are in connection with the de- nomination several colleges and institutes for ministerial training. In England there are 10 with 334 students and 34 professors. In Wales three, with 120 students and eight professors. In Scotland one, with 13 students and three profes- sors. In the colonies four, with 50 students and 13 professors. There are also 10 institutions in heathen lands belonging to the London Mission- ary Society, training 300 native students. The Union, thereforf, renders valuable rervice to the denomination if it were only in compiling these valuable statistics. As a medium of expressing the denominational voice, it has upon more than one occasion done it with effect, Among the dis- tinguished men who have filled the chair, and whose names are known far beyond that of the denomination itself, we may mention the Revs. Dr. Raffles, John Angell James. Dr. Binney, Dr. Mellor, Dr. Kennedy, R. W. Dale, Baldwin Brown, Newman Hall, David Thomas, of Bristol, Thos. Jones, of Swansea, Mr H. Richard, M.P., and others. The annual meetings of the Union are held in May, at London, while the autumnal meetings are usually held in some pro- vincial town. We are gratified to learn that its next meetings are to be held at Cardin in the second week in October next, toe chairman being the Rev. W. Cuthbertson. B.A. the usual order of the meetings being—On Monday evening the sermon of the Union, when it is expected Dr. Mellor, of Halifax, will preach ;on Tuesday morn- ing, the chairman's address, which promises to be of exceptional interest; in the afternoon, sectional meetings are usually held, and in the evenings public meetings, when some of the most promi- nent men of our denomination are expected to speak. The meetings extending over three da vs. The first secretary of the Union was aptly styled the Prince of Secretaries." We have the fullest confidence in saying that the Rev. A. Hannay, the present secretary, richly merits the same title. We understand that a Btrong fi local committee" has been over which his worship, the Mayor of Cardiff, presides the secretaries being J; Waite' B-A-. and J. M. Evans, and Air I. Mathers. It may be a matter of regret, but we believe we are correct in saying that the committee have met with a refusal in their appli- cation for the use of the Drill-hall—where it was their intention to dine the delegates. But nothing daunted,the committee are making ample arrange- ments for the comfort, etc., of the delegates. We feel sure the reputed kind hospitality of the Car- diflf friends will meet the requirements of the committee. This is the third visit of the Union to the Principality. Once to Aberdare, in 1859 and at Swansea m 1871. We have every confi- dence in saying that Cardiff will sustain its own in according a warm and sincere welcome to the Union.
IMPURE WATER AT CARDIFF.
IMPURE WATER AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police-court, on Monday—before Mr K. O. Jones—Thos. Cook, No. 2, Cyril-street, Roath; George Holt, 8, Picton-place, CaTitoii Wiliia-n Hopkins, 13, i'eter-street, Roath Thos. Giles, Richmond-road John Pitman, 11, Elm- street; aad John YVride, Elm-street, Nei-e suiti- moned by the Cardiif Urban Authority for having on their premises wells, the water of which, if used fo" drinking or domestic purposes, was in- jurious to health. Samples of water had been taken from these wells by the inspectors of nuisances (Messrs James and Gover). and submitted to Mr Thomas, tiie borough analyst, whose analysis showed that in every instance the Water Was contaminated with soakage from cesspools or sewers, aud that it was dangerous to drink and unfit for domestic pur- poses. Dr. Paine also gave evidence that the use of the water was d -ngrerous to health. The sur- veyor of the borough was present, and, in reply to Mr Jones, said that the seweis of Roath had been constructed about eight or ten years, and there was no possibility of preventing sewage iratter from escaping from them and percolating the soil around. Aftet- i t"iie n'-et ed the sewers, and sewage matters escaped from them. Strong springs they were obliged to admit into the sewers. Mr Jones was of o; iniou, after such a statement fro:n the surveyor, that the Corporation should take steps to close all wells, as the soil would in time become impregnated with sewage mtter from the sewers. In ail cases the defen- dants alleged that they had used the water for years, and always found it "excellent." The w: ter from the wells in Picton-place, Canton, Peter-street, and Richmond-road, were snid to be very bad, and extremely dangerous to health. One of the defendants said that his well was ne. cessary to enable him to carry on his business, especially in the summer, as the well water was col ier than that obtained through pi;ips. When asked his business, lie said that he WIOS a milk- seller. In all c. ses orders were made to close the wells within one week.

TAFF VALE IMPROVEMENTS AT CARDIFF DOCKS. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT."] The new bridge and platform lecently con- structed by the 'l'aff Vale Railway Company at Cardiff Docks are now ready for use, and only await a visit from the Board of Trade inspector. In the improvements and alterations now com- pleted, "The Y ad," as thf,t portion of the Taff Va]e Railway reaching from the running shed' to the terminus is denominated, has undergone a complete metamorphosis in fact, so com- plete is the change that an engine driver or cuard who may have been aw. y for two months would be perfectly nonplussed if he at- tempted to find his way about* "The Yard," without the inevitable working instructions which accompany expensive railway alterations. In place of the ordinary cabin occupied by the policemen at the entrance to the yard, and from which he controlled about three signals, and the same number of points, is no v erected a large elevated "siRnal box, in which are placed 42 levers, which control the whole of the network of ^compound shunts," and other point* with which the yard is covered, as well as work all the signals which allow trains to approach and leave it. The whole of the alterations were designed and carried out under the personal superintend- ence of Mr H. O, Fisher, the signals and inter- locking apparatus being supplied by the well- know II firm of Mackenzie and Holland, of V\ orcester.^ Whilst the platform and bridge in question will be looked upon, undoubtedly, as a boon by the merchants and clerks who daily use the train to the Docks, and who have patiently, and almost uncomplainingly, put up with ti;e danger and inconvenience of having to climb into and out of the carriages without the aid of any platform hitherto, it is a matter of regret that the company, while making a bridge of such strength as to be able to accommodate a railway train (should the exigencies of some future period require that it should be applied to such a use), consider their duty to the travelling public, performed by placing on the platform in question a waiting-room of such small dimensions as to give rise to the facetious remark of a broker at the Docks, that when the inspector came to pass the works he would certainly certify it 'to accommodate three persons," in the same manner as berths in a ship (in which space is so important an item) are certified. As the company do not seem inclined to roof the platform, or do anything to protect the passengers from the in- clemency of our fickle climate, may we not hope they will yet see the necessity of enlarging this building, an I thus afford some protection for the many who have occasion to await the arrival and departure of the trains at the docks.
--.-:I THE CHARGE OF STEA…
-I THE CHARGE OF STEA LING CHAMPAGNE. At the Cardiff police-court, on Monday, before Mr R. O. Jones, Alderman T. Evans, Mr G. Phillips, and Dr. Paine, William Megan, Thomas Quin, and Joseph Dobbin, appeared on a remand charged with breaking and entering the back pre- mises of the Crichton Arms, and stealing there- from, on Friday week, two cases of champagne. The charge was remanded on Monday eek to enable the police to procure a witness from Bristol, to prove that the cases found were those sent to the Crichton Arms, and to trace the second case, one only at the time having been discovered. Mr William Kingdon, of the firm of Messrs J. R. Phillips, wine merchants, Bristol, now attended and proved what was necessary. When the case was first heard one case was found to have been sold to the landlord of the Vulcan.— Robert Conner, a lad 12 years of age, living at 19, Sandon-place, said on the night of Friday week he saw three men coming up Pellett-street, two of them carrying boxes. They first came over to the archway near Mr Ho ell's ,reti,,ises, and, putting down one of the boxes, carried the other box over to the Vulcan. In about five minutes they re- turneJ. took up the other box, and went up ti e lane with it. They then broke it open. E ch took four bottles, and put them in their pockets, and then ran off leaving the box behind. Soon afterwards three other men came down the lane, picked up the box, and, after looking at it, gave it to his mother. When cross-examined by Mr Miller, who appeared for Megan, the witness identified Megan and Quin as the two men who brought the cases up Pellett-stre"t, and there they were joined by Dobbin. Each of them had four bottles of wine out of the second box. The mother uf the lad was called, and stated that she had burnt a portion of the box, but had given to P.S. Cox that portion on which w s the a idres-9 to Mr Evre, and the numbers showing the brands. Inspector Tamblyn was also called, and proved that he had picked out of a heap of firewood at the Vulcan a number of pieces of a box, which, when secuied together, gave the nnmbers on the boxes, and the n me of Messrs. Phillips ard Co., Bristol. Detective James said that he went to the Vulcan Inn on the Sunday following the robbery. On his second visit the landlord handed him a case of champagne. It contained 20 full bottles and four empty ones. The prisoners were then called upon for their defence. Megan accused Dobbin of calling him into the Vulcan, when he was selling the case of champagne, and treating him. He had not seen them before, and remained in the public until his wife calh d him out. Quin said that he was at home. Dobbin accused Megan of calling him to assist in carrying the case to the Vulcam and after Megan had sold it ho gave him (Dobbin) 8s for his trouble. Quin remained during the time they were selling the case to the landlord of the Vulcan on the opposite side of the street in charge of the other box. Quin called two witnesses to nrove that Dobbin was the man who brought the box up Pellett-street and carried it into the Vulcan, and that he (Quin) was not present. One of these witnesses was the landlord of the house where he lodged, and he swore that Qnin was at home when the robbery was committed. The bench committed the j risoners for trial at the assizes.
THE CHALYBEATE SPRING AT ABE…
THE CHALYBEATE SPRING AT ABE RAY RON. Recently a very excellent chalybeate spring has been discovered at this beautiful little seaport, situated at the mouth of the river Ayron, on the coast of Cardigan Bay, 16 miles south-west of Aberystwith, and 13 miles from Lampeter. The spring is likely to become very popular, and is calculated to increase tenfold the numb r of visi- tors to that town. During the summer of 1878 Dr Burghardt, lecturer in mineralogy at Owen's College, Manchester, I spent his vacation at Aberayron, and during his stay he acci- dentally came across that which is now known as the Chalybeate Well. Dr Burghardt examined the water, a mee-iug of those desiring to increase the number ot visitors to the town was held and Mr Alban Gwynne, Monachty, expressed his willingness to let a piece of ground for the purpose of building a house over the well if the report about the water justified the expense. Dr Burghardt gave in his report, which stated that the water contained 9'45 cubic inches of carbonic acid gas per imperial gallon, measured at 00° Fahrenheit, ami a pressure of 30 inches of mercury, fopecinc gravity of the water —1-0030. Degree of hardness 5° (Oiarke). Th, re was a total absence of organic matter and poisonous metals. lhis water is therefore a true chalybeate extremely pure, and an excellent drinking water. It flows at the rate of about 15 gallons er hour." The report being so satisfactory, operations were at Once commenced. Nevertheless, people chattered that the water had been adulterated, and in consequence, after the water had been fol- lowed as far as the space of ground allowed, an application was sent to Dr Burghardt asling him to re-analyse the water, in order if the water had deteriorated in quality to suspend further action in the matter. A second report was given in by Dr Burghardt, which was also favourable, the doctor remarking-" I am glad* to find that the gossip of the sceptical will now be silenced, and that the chalybeate spring still retains its good qualities unaltered." It being known that Mr Pritchard, M.D., who had stayed at Portland House during pait of the summer of 1878 had used the water, a letter was sent to him, inviting his opinion on the subject. He replied that he recommended some of his family to drink a small cup of the water every morning. "This they did, and with considerable benefit in several instances. It seems an excellent saline chalybeate water, and Dr Burghardt's analysis clearly shows its com- position, and confirms this statement. I think it to be very useful in cases of weakness with de- ficiency of the red corpuscles of the blood, and believe that in combination with the sea breezes of Aberayron, it would be of special value for weakly children or those recovering from a long illness." The merit of the water, how ever, does not rest only on these valuable testimonials, but already verbal testimonials of its practical results are heard from all direccions. Aberayron has been long known to be wealthy in natural attractions, and no doubt this will increase its popularity ten- fold. A commodious house is in course of erection over the well, which will be completed in time for the first influx of visitors.

THE SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE,
THE SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE, MEETING AT YSTRAD. SPEECH BY MB. ABRAHAM. PROBABILITY OF ANnrr«ER REDUO. TION PONTYPRIDD, MONDAT. Last Saturday night a colliers' meeting was held at the Windsor Castle Inn, Ton-Ystrad to consider the proposal to start another union of miners for South Wales and Monmouthshire. Art William Abraham ("Mabon") was present, and the room was crowded by colliers from that and the surrounding district. In toe course of the proceedings Mr Abraham delivered an eloquen. and exhaustive speech, in which he impressed upon the men the necessity oi organisiug together for defensive (not aggressive] purposes. Their aim should not simply be to lay up sums of money for utilisation as strike-pays, and so forth; differences would probably thus arise One set of men would not perh-ps aaree on the "strike" of another set of men, and the up- shot would then be that they would withhold theli Union-fund contributions. "The great need was to have efficient means of inter-communication es. tablished between all the colliers of the South Wales and Monmouthshire districts—that thera shouldjhe a knowledge posses-ied by each district of what the other districts were doing. By hav- ing this knowledge one body of men would not by their action damage their co-workmen. Through want of this knowledge the men had injured one another. The last five years' experience had taught an important lesson as to strikes. The men should be convinced of three things hefore they took such a step again. First, they~mu?t be certain that their object was aright one;secondly, they must have stable grounds for believing that the capital at their command would enable them them to "stand out;' or thirdly, they mu4 bfI sure that the circumstances of trade were such that the employer would be a greater lo-er by keeping his men out than he would be by gi vinff them what they asked for. (Applause.) Now. lie had receive i information from authentic sources that the colliers might expect another proposi tion from the masters ere long for a reduction of 10 per cent. in wages again. It would be for the men, as a body, to consider whether they would support their fellows, to whom this reduction would first be broached, until they got work elsewhere, or submit to a ieduction of a like nature. It w as pLin, however, that these continual reductions beilefitte(I neither employers nor einploye,t-b-ne- fi led nobody but ''foreigners," and it was the im- perative duty of the colliers, therefore, to watch keenly any reduction advances of the kind he had hinted at, and,in hatever part of the Principality it might be broached, to resist it at once. (Applause.) It behoved the men to maka every preparation at once. He stated the purport of the business which had that day been transacted at Pontypridd, and urged upon "them that for union purposes they must be prepared to sacrifice a little. In all great efforts some sacrifice at the outset was necessary. He had received a letter from Mr Crawford, secretary to the Durham Miners' Association, and secretary to the National Union of Miners, in which that gentleman inti. mated that he did not think there would be any charge for affiliating the South Wales Union to the National Association. He asked the men to mature their ideas upon the subject by the time of the delegate meeting proposed to be called at Merthyr. The meeting warmly endorsed Mr Abraham's sentiments, thoroughly approved of a South Wales and Monmouthshire Miners' Union (to be after- wards affiliated to the National Union), and it was also agree i to open a branch union in that place, to be affiliated to the funeral union when that is formed. The contributions will be nominal. It sLonld also be remarked that it was con- sidered bv the met ting that by joining the National Union the miners of South Wales and- Monmouthshire would be entitled to Mr Mac- donald, If. efforts on their behalf—efforts which are now msde purely out of regard for the interest* of the Welsh collier c, iiiiiiiiiiity.
MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD.
MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD. On Monday the fortnightly meeting of thii board was held at the Workman's Hall, Mountain Ash, when the members present were Messis. D, Morgan (chairmnn), W. Litile, T. Yeo, Thomai Edwards, W. Morgan, J. Griffiths, Lewis Ed. munds, D. Thomas, a:;d D. Davies. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, the Deputy- clerk opened five tenders which had been received for the erection of the proposed stone wall instead of the wooden fence in front of the Workman*! Hall. The tenders were from Messrs John John, Qurry-row; Isaac Davies, Woodland-street; D. Edwards, Caradoc House Thomas Taylor. 19. Oxford-street, Mountain Ash; and Thos. Davies and Son, 3, London-road, Neath. The tender of Mr Taylor, at the following prices, being the lowest, was aeeepte 1 :—Excavation, 3d per cubio' I' yard masonry, 4s 10 i; filling, 6d; and sawing old fence, 10s. The Deputy Clerk said that in accordance with instructions the clerk had written to the Taff Vale Company, calling upon them to cleanse two drains, one at Messrs Nixon's gate, and the other at the south end of Henry-street.

BRITISH AGRICULTURE AND AMERICAN IMPORTS. Mr Drummond, under date of April 8, 1879, sencli home a report dealing with the commer. cial relations of this country and America. The report, which was published on Monday, says » "During the year ended June 30, 1878, the value both of cotton and brealstuffs exported to tho United Kingdom exceeded the value of the total imports of merchandise from the United Kingdom into the United States." This short para^rapn sains up the present commercial bearings of the two countries. To England, tha gieat agricultural country, to find herself being gradual,y gorged with food from other lands than her own, must be very disheartening to her land- owners and farmers those believe, however, that they are the only sufferers in the world from this state of things; perhaps it may be some slight consolation to them to know that there are others on a, small scale in a position somewhat identical to their own. The landowners and farmers here, in the Eastern and North-Eastern States, suffer from the great competition against their interests and fanning productions by the Western an 1 North-Western States, particularly in placing their products in foreign markets. This condition of things arises from the low rates, both by rail and water, from the Western anq North-Western States to the Atlantic ports, and from the development of the agricultural inter- es-ts of those States, due to their practically illimit- able capacity for agricultural production, to the fact that, the cost of production is much less than in the more Easterly States, and to the fact that the railroad system of the country has been widely extended throughout these States, thereby securing cheap, rapid, and regular transportation. During the year 1866, the average rate for the carriage of wheat from Chicago to New York by Lake and Erie Canal, was a little over 27 cents per bushel, bnt during the year 1878, by the same route, the average rate was 7i cents, and by all rail 12 cents. During the present year the aver- age cost of transporting wheat from the region of the Red River of the North, in the northern part of the State of Minnesota, to the City of New York, has been only 26 cents per bushel. This is a marvel of cheap freight, but it enables our people at home to be supplied with cheap bread; and until the advent of a succession of good har- vests, accompanied with a sensible reduction in farm rents generally throughout the United Kingdom, enable our farmers to grow their corn and breed cattle to sell as cheaply as American corn and cattle are sold in England, I gee no chance of their being able to compete very suc- cessfully with the increasii,, areas of agricultural lands being brought under cultivation in this vast progressive country, for yet some years."
