SAD DEATH. An inquest was held on Monday atVallance, the residence of Mr Win. Young, a Manchester merchant, on the body of that gentleman's second son, John James Young. The deceased went out on Friday afternoon with his sister to fish in a lake in the park, and got on to a raft into the mid lIe of the lake. Some few minutes afterwards his sister, who was fishing from the bank, heard a cry which she recognised as one which her brother unconsciously made when he was seized with epileptic fits, :ind on running towards the raft she sa v it empty, ;ind the deceased's cap floating in the water. Aualarmwasgiven.but nearly an hour elapsed before the body was recovered. The verdict was Accidentally drowned."

Another horrible crime is reported, this time from the neighbour^io 1 of Lyons. The victim is a small farmer n uned Decourt. He was found stranded, with his skull smashed, in a ditch near his cottage. For some time p ist he is saiil to have beei illtreated by his wife and son, who have bec:i arrested on suspicion. On Monday the secretary of the Wear Ship- builders' Association sent a notice to various classes of workmen employed in their ship yar.?s, intimating the masters' intention to reduce the ce wages of the time men from 2. to 5s per week, and the piece prices from n to 15 per cent, to take effect from Oct, 23rd. At the Central Criminal Court, on Monday, Htnry Newman and Arthur Smith, tvo well- dressed youug men, were indicted for having dressed themselves in women's cluthes. There were a number of counts in the indictment varying the form of the charge. Evidence was given to the effect that they were in the habit of going to a house in Wardour-stieet, Solio, London, dres-ed as women, and that there their conduct" as of such a nature as to cause great annoyance to the neighbourhood. The trial was adjourned. This week's Arai-k- Lane Express says -The past week's weather has told unfavourably unon the condition of the new wheat.

THE AMALGATED SOCIETY OF RAILWAY SERVANTS. Frnm the annual report of this society, just issued, it appears that, compared with any pre- ceding 3 ear, the society's progress last year has been very satisfactory, as there had been an in- crease of members, a larger income, a greater sum paid in benefits to members, and a decrease in the proportionate cost of management. The register showed that there were 13,543 members, as against 12,815 in the previous year, being an increase of 728 for the year. The yeai's income from all sources ii-as t9,951, being an increase of 91.367 over the receipts for lb77, and the largest sum ever taken by the society in one year. The expenditure for the year amounted to £ 6,3'J3, which, being deducted from the income, gives a balance of £3,588 as the saving effected. The total balance in hand was thus in- creased to £ 22,371. Benefits to members took a greater amount than in anv preceiing year. Dona- tions, legal assistance, and superannuation bene- fits cost £ 2,560, or 9791 more than paid out in the previous year? No less than 370 members bene- fited by donation, receiving in all EW7. Super- annuation to disabled members took 91,315 in the year. The general management expenditure amounted to £ 1.499, as against £ 1,G99 expended in 1877 under the old system. Branch manage- ment monopolised £ 1,170. The general secret ry, Mr F. W. Evans, says Compared with other years, the financial operations of the year stand out in favourable contrast. This should encourage us to exert ourselves in effecting still further im- provements. Our society has a great and useful work before it. By undertaking this work with earnestness, it can raise itself to be a powerful and even a national institution."

SINGULAR ABDUCTION OF A GIRL. The Melbourne Argus gives the following extra- ordinary story of the alieged abduction of an Adelaide girl. A girl named Adelaide Froude tells an extraordinary story. She says that a man named Grenville stopped her in Carrington-street, chloroformed her, put her into a vehicle, and drove away. When she awoke she was iu a boat, out at sea. Grenville was an old sweetheart. When she would not consent to be his wife, Gren- ville went to strike her, the boat gave a lurch, and Grenville fell overboard. Adelaide Froude was found on Monday afternoon insensible on the Semaphore beach. There is no sign of the boat or of the man. The story is not believed, as it is considered to be too improbable.

THE DONKEY BOYS AT PENARTH. T) the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. SIB, I am glad to see that Peter PJaytair" has brought before the public, through the medium of your valuable paper, the sins of the Penarth donkey boys, and their riders. There is no necessity for me to say anything on that sub- ject,'as no inhabitant of Penarth can help knowing of the brutal way in which the poor donkeys are treated, as well as the hideous r.oises made by their inhuman drivers and idiotic riders. I should, however, if you will permit me, like to draw the attention of those in authority to the fact that not only on Sunday afternoons and evenings do the roughs of Penarth-make themselves obnoxious, but nearly every evening from eight to nearly half-past 10 or 11 o'clock, the residents of the road to the beach, from the doctor's house down past the Rectory, have night made awful to them by the youthful roughs of the village, tvho loaf about, singing, shouting, and swearing, in a manner that speak very badly for their Sunday- school education, besides which, one of them generally favours the public with performances on tne concertina, and another makes an ass of him- self with a penny whistle. I wish the police would keep these wretched young ruffiians quiet, or, J if they must make a noise, or burst, why not send them to the fields to do either, far away from the dwellings of the sober-minded, and where they would have no chance of annoying anyone but themselves. Apologising for trollbling YOli,-I am. &c., WINDSOR TERRACE.

SIR,Ple,tSe itifcrm me in yo-ir next issue of the Fonth Wales Dailit News if it i" tccat fnr a -r:> member of the Corporation to tender for and rent premises belonging to the Corporation ? and does not the fact of his so tendering for and renting the premises disqualify him as a member of the Cor- poration ? Hoping you will kindly reply to the above-I am, &c.. WM. THOMAS. Canton, Sept. 22, 1879, [We are informed that before the lease was granted the point was submitted to the Town Clerk, and he gave it as his opinion that there was nothing to prevent a member of the Town Council leasing property belonging to the Cor- poration.]

MR SHAW AND THE WELSH PEOPLE. J.0 the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWR. BLR, I would ask my countrymen to approach t.us question in a broad, magnanimous si int, as our case is not so desperately feeble as to necessitate a resort to epithets and abuse. Mr Shaw remarks that we are unable to speak our own language grammatically. Could Mr Shaw but attend the weekly class meetings held at our various places of worship, when the churches are addressed by their respective members, and com- prehend the proceedings, or were he present at our recent workmen's meetings, lie would soon change his opinion and were he capable of con- ducting this controversy in the vernacular, lie would soon find himself grammatically and logi- cally whipped into his shell again. Our 1,000 day scholars are not taught Welsh at school, simply because our schools are national, and Government does not provide for the acquirement of the Welsh language. We have scores, I may say, in the village, who contribute weekly essays and various other inter- esting matte s to the Welsh Press. Though we have no bards in our immediate vicinity, yet we have not a few successful Welsh poets, two of whom are chaired, nnd but recently, upon an aus- picious occasion, Mr Shaw was favoured with a rich production, which he then much regretted that lie was unable to appreciate. We possess an abundance of literature of the highest type in our own sweet language, which we estimate and enjoy amazingly. Oil referring to the educational Bt,itis-ics, Mr Shaw, I thii.k, will find that although the same code is issued to the schools of England and Wales, the percentage of those who attain the fixed standard of proficiency, is entirely in favour of the "Taffies," though they have to acquire the language iu which they study, and the efficiency of the ".Cwmavon Schools has ever been pre-eminent. No. sir, happily for the poor "benighted" Welsh, the indictment is wrong, and the cause must be sought for elsewhere.— Yours &c., A CWMAYONITE. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEws. SIR,-Your correspondent, "Cymrodros Byth." before he undertook the defence of his country- men against Mr Shaw's'attack,should have allowed all warm feeling to subside; and a much clearer view of what constitutes men of mark," may have grown upon him. Welshmen, like all other men, may differ in opinion as to what constitutes greatness; and his list given may be demurred to, on the ground of omission and commission. The mere mention of individual claims upon greatness will not prove anything, seeing that true greatness may be found in a cabin, while frothy qualities floating on the surface supersede solid acquirements, and dazzle the public eye by rushing into public place and position where patient merit II ould be at a discount. Thack- eray's cynical advice to such as wish to rise to tread upon the toes of the fittest," is constantly acted upon. It is a certain fact beyond contro- versy, that the Welsh do not for some reasons, which ought to be discovered, take the position in public affairs, in trade and commerce in any elevated walk of public life outside the bar and pulpit, which they are relatively entitled to. In all the small and useful arts that build up what is called civilization. they are woefully deficient. O it of the £ 80,000,000 of revenue annually spent, how much of it goes into Welsh pockets, as compared with (relatively) Euglish, Irish, or Scotch. I cannot but feel that my countrymen in the main are but "hewers of ,wood, drawers of water," and waiters upon English capital almost everywhere. I do not hesitate to express it as my opinion that were Milford Haven in England it would be the centre of an enormous trade In Welsh hands it ii of no importance. Nature has done everything for it: Welshmen nothing. Again, as to our boasted literature- Where is it? Where is the popular Welsh poem, or Welsh book of any kind above or up to medio- crity ? I have observed that recently, at the Cardiff Eisteddfod, all poetical quotations in the speeches were from the works of English or Scotch, and Cymro" has to resort to Tennyson or Scott to as-ist him to point his moral. I want my country- men to step out of theh narrow spheres, and measure themselves fairly with the English, Scotch, and Irish in the race of life and of honour, and unless it be a want of education that prevents them doing so, I know not how to account for it.- I am, &c., J. H.

THE LANI) QUESTION To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS f uIKV la,ndl,ord8 .w,i0 :ue hke the Marquis of Hartmgton, who has given indications of his in- tention to approach the subject of the Land Laws in a spirit of justice and fa<rness, will also prove to be the II isest in their generation from an exclu- sively landowner's point of view. Apart from the question as to what constitutes the right of an individual to the absolute pro. prietorship of land—one in which the affirmative proposition would, methinks, be difficult to sustain upon any abstract principles of justice—it mav become necessary to remind such freeholdels as Lord Burleigh, of the terms upon which their estates were originally held, and that, except in t: e ShetUnds and Orkneys, and possibly in the Channel Islands, there is not a solitary instance of an absolute tenure of Iatid in the United Kingdom. Were the impertinence of Lord Burleigh, in dictating to the rental occupiers of land--many of them men who have expended a large capital upon the lands which they cultivate- that it is a part of the duties of their wives to put their shoulders to the wheel, and that to bring up tneir daughters to play ti.e piano, lawn tennis, or to speak French and other languages," is in- consistent with their own, to be generally re- peated it is hardly to be expected that those whom he addresses will for ever continue to rest satisfied with the mild retort which was made by one of the farmers w hom lie addressed, and which was to the effect that it would be equally com- petent for one of his—the farmers'—own class to say that "the landowners should be content t.o stay at home amongst th dr tenants, as they used to do, know tl.eir wants, and helD them they should not, with their wives and daughters, live in town houses, and have seats at the opera and other places." In quoting this rep'y I may ob- serve that I simply mean to contend that it the right to dictate to the other the manner in which he should dispose of the money and time which justly be:ong to him, exists in the one, it equally pertains to the other, and it is in the assertion of such equal Eight that the significance and force of the reply consists. It proves that the tenant farmers of England are gradually, but certainly, discerning that their main interests are m common with those of the commercial and labouring classes, and that tii«co which include those of capitalists" as arS from the product ol labour judiciously employed comprehend all that is involved ir> n,„ &rtf £ 5?-s preservation of tlieir j.nt'and™ ciprS?Stio°«d ? »• "«ii.l, look f„r the pSUt S7. tad if. t«»peritjrP fonndpil l,n H. ■ £ conelusion be truly of land bv iiiV tlie absolute tenure small fra ^hvnluals, forming numerically but a small fragment of the nation, can be justified cr n the other hand, it can be so, how the compulsory sale of land for railways and other objects of public utility and advantage can in justice be reconciled. J\ia.ny landlords speak as though they considered their tenure an absolute one while, at the same time, it is equally apparent that existing laws are not conststont with any such claim. If then, the claim of absolute tenure in individuals be dtnied, in whom does it rest? Must it not of necessity hft affirmed that the ultimate nwnartthin rehiden in the nation? The question, therefore, resolves itself into one of application. To what extent is the application of the principle just and expedient? That the real ownership rests in the Crown, as the representative of the nation, is a fact stamped upon the pages of English history. Military service, succession fines, alienations, &c., were conditions and liabilities which attached to all holders of land in the United Kingdom. In the reign of James I. it was pro. posed to substitute for these an equivalent in an annual rent, and which could not have been small when, it is considered that the feudal payments amounted at that time to half of the eutire public revenue. Upon the restoration of Charles II. these were abolished; but how ? Not by a rent charged on land, but by Excise duties, which were then first established, exacted from the nation in order that the tenants of the nation should exercise the rights of ownership of the land they occupied, free of the conditions and liabilities which up to that time had been attached to them, while at the same time similar obligations on the part of sub-tenants to those who held direct from the Crown were retained. This intolerable act of injustice was in part removed in the reign of William III., by a compromise to the effect that a tax of 4s in the £ should be paid on the annual rental vale of all land. And this Land-'ax amounted at that time to upwards of two millions a year, and according to the present value of land it should now bring into the national exchequer some 25 or 30 millions sterling annually. The amount it actually yielded in 1878 was 21,100,200. To this, in order to make a just corn. parisou between what the landowners ought to pay and what they actually do pay,must be added the amount of Income-tax with which they are chargeable but as the gross amount of income tax in 1878 was under six milllions sterling, there are still some 20 millions sterling which have been unfairly shifted from the shoulders of the land- owners on to those of the commercial and indus- trial classes of the nation.—Yours &c., Swansea. p

ANTI-TRADE UNION TEACHING IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS. _d,. The secretary of the National Society writes in answer to the complaints made at the Trade Union Congress, with reference to some passages as to the trade unions contained in the society's reading book and Standard V. The secretary for- wards a letter wbich he had written in March last, in answer to representations made upon the same subject by the Ilev. John Oakley. The letter states that the committee of the National Society, being unwilling to be thought hostile to trade unions, desire that it should be known that the book complained of was mainly completed many years ngo, and that it will shortly be super- seded by a llelV series of reading boohs, which is now in course of preparation. The committee add that the passages complained of v. ere ex- tracted from the writings of Archbishop Whately, -e '1 8 who was considered a great authority oil questions of political economy at the time when the selec- tion was originally made.

MONEY MARKET. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, There is ro change in the discount market, but firmness is the C aracteristic. The best short- dated ceminercial bills are taken at i to 1 per sent. Consols, 97§ to 971. The weather is wet and unsettled, and this dis- agreeable change from a week of agreeable bright- ness has had rather a depressing effect in many of the markets.

Managers report that the improvement Î1 not spasmodic, but is steady, and that they look forward to a considerable augmentation in the volume of order.

CLEVELAND IRON MARKET. MIDDLES BOROUGH, Tuesday.—The steady ad- vance that has hitherto marked the pig-iron prices here has given place to a wild rush Howards, ind it was impossible to-day to say what were the real prices. Quotations were 2s per ton aboye laet week. For No, 3, immediate delivery, 38:1 net was generally asked at close of market, though 37s ha i been accepted earlie in the morning; over first three months of next year 40s was offered for No. 3 aud refused. The advance is not looked upon as genuine, but is due to speculation, and a rapid fall is expected. This keeps genuine buyers from operating. Connal's stocks are up to 83,000 tons to-day, 15,000 tons increase on last Tuesday. Manufactured iron is dearer, but producers are loth to quote as there is so much uncertainty about pig iron prices.

MR. MACRAE, OF GOUROCK. Some ti ne ago, the Rev. David M cRae, of Gourock, was deposed from the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church, in consequence of his views on everlasting punishment. His con- gregation requested that e should continue his labours among them, and a call" was also addressed to him from Dundee, the majority of those signing it belonging to the congregation of which George Gillingham was minister. On Tuesday, MrMacEae has intimated that he will not remain in Gourock, and that he htts deter- mined to go to Dundee. It is understood that Mr MacRae's congregation will worship in the public hall.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE COUNTRY. PROPOSED MEETING IN LONDON. I Arrangements are in progress for a "mass meet- irg of people of London in Hyde Park, on Satur- day afternoon, to consider the present grave crisis, to denounce the reckless incapacity of the Govern- ment, and demand ;.n immediate appeal to the country." Several members of ^Parliament have been invited to attend. Mr Mundella has written expressing regret at his inability to be present, and stating t at he entirely sympathises with the object of the meeting. Mr Samuel Morley writes from Switzerland that he hot es all earnest Lib- erals will see in the events occurring at Cabul an additional motive for increased effort to get rid of a Ministry likely to bring the country to disgrace and grievous suffering."

LADIES ATTACKED BY A TRAMP. Atran p named Barrett was charged t Rugby, on Monday, wit', highway robbery under the fol- lowing circumstances. On Saturday a lady, the wife of a clergyman in the neighbourhood, while out for a walk with another lady, was met by the prisoner, who demanded money. On their refusing to give him any, he said he meant having some be- fore he left them. and proceeded to use violence. The ladies defended themselves as best they could, and began to scream, and in the struggle the pri- soner received sundry scratches about the face and ears indeed, so effectual was the resistance, that the fellow at last made off, having succeeded only in taking the UII: brelJa. of one of the ladies. The prisoner was pursued and captured by a voliceman whom the ladies met soon afterwards. He was ordered to be removed to Coventry, it having been a certained that there was a warrant against him for a felonious assault in that locality.

SHOCKING GUN ACCIDENT. A distressing accident was the subject of inves- tigation by a coroner's jury on Monday, at Wey- mouth. Whilst some children were at play in one of the bedrooms of the George Inn, an elder brother, aged 15, came into the room with a rusty gun, which had been sold to their father, and had been put upstairs for safety. The lad got on the bed, and, pointing the gun, said to his brother, aged nine years, Bertie, I will shoot you," put a cap on the nipple, and the gun went off. Bertie at the time was at the foot of the bed, and so close to the muzzle of the gun that the whole of the charge went in at the right side of the neck and came ont at the left, the poor lad dying instantly. No one could tell how the gun became loaded, but the man who sold it said there was no cliarge in it. On Friday it had been used at the perform- ances at the theatre. The Coroner said that, hard as it must appear, he must point out the law, which was that, if the lad had not exercised pro- per caution with the gun, he was responsible. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter.

LANDLORD AND TENANT. The following is the text of the Earl of Ken- mare's reply to the memorial of his tenantry for a reduction of rents Killarney, Sept. 9th, 1879,-My Friends—Had you given me the slightest hitimation of your wish to see nie, I would with great pleasure have arranged to're- ceive you when you came to Killarney some days ago. With respect to your memorial, I must re- mark that I consider it a little unreasonable to be called upon to reduce my rents, because a long period of great agricultural prosperity has been followed by a comparatively short period of agri- cultural depression, especially when I consider that my estate is moderately let. and that since I have come into possession I have expended over 280,000 in permanent improvements, without any charge to my tmants. Should, however, the pre- sent low prices and other unfavourable circum- stances continue, I shall be prepared at the next spring collection to enquire into, and, if necessary, re-adjust, the rents of some of the holdings on the estate. I hope I shall be able, as hitherto, to give employment (which, as you are all aware, has been frequently on a very extensive scale) when- ever it is most needed, an arrangement more bene- ficial to the poorer class of farmers, though pro- bably far more costly for me, than any reduction of reut.-I remain, yours faithfully, KEN MARK."

THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR- ANCE. Respecting the disappearance of Miss E. M. Edwards, of Liverpool, a local journal savs :— The circumstances become more and more inex- plicable every day. It now seems certain that she was not the young lady who travelled from Birkenhead to Shrewsbury on the evening of the 3rd iiist., and whose identification with the photo- graph of Miss Edwards was so positively swoin to by several persons who accompanied her to Beddow's Temperance Hotel. In order to clear away the doubts which existed as to the reliability of the clue supposed to have been furnished by this Shrewsbury story, another personal inquiry by the unfortunate young lady's friends has bren made in that town, also at Aberg avenny, whither she was sup; osed to have gone. This inquiry has been quite fruitless, except that it has shown that no leliance can be p'aced upon the photograph identification so positively sworn to in the first in- stance. This break-up of the supposed track thri < ws the^ police and all engaged in the investigatien bacK again to the starting point, and leaves them as liell less as ever in their speculations as to the distressing occurrence. During last week many letters professing to throw light ut;on the mystery came to hand, and the few which were not out- rageously improbable were duly weighed, the sug- gestions in some cases being acted upon. Several pl ces were searched in the hope of finding the auxiously sought for clue, but nothing but dis- appointment, followe The theory first formed- iiameiy, that Miss L .wards had been subjected to ill-treatinent-no,v seems to point to the only possible solution of the mystery. The story of her disappearance, with a description of her person and attirf., has now been told in nearly every newspaper in the kingdom, and the ) olice in all the large towns have spread the information as widely as possible, being assisted in their inquiries by photographs of the young lady. Amidst such a blaze of publicity it is scarcely probable that she coulu have secreted herself, had she so desired Every circumstance connected with the case negatives the supposition that she has gone away cf her own free will."

HEAVY GALE. On Monday evening, a strong gale from the S.W., accompanied by heavy showers of rain, commenced blowing at Tenby, about seven o'clock. All the dredging boats and trawlers were out, and sO;lIe anxiety was felt for their safety. As the tide rose the whole fleet made for the harbour. The Pilot (Captain Walters), in coming down the Bay, had her boom carried away, and vith much difficulty succeeded in reaching the harbour. The Pet of Brixham had her mainsail blown to atoms, and was compelled to bring up with two anchors in a dangerous place.

COLLISION AT BELFAST. There was a strong south-westerly gale at Bel- fast during Tuesday morniug, and throughout the greater part of the day the temperature became suddenly cold, and much rain fell. The steamers from English and bcotch ports were several hours late in arriving, having been retarded by the tem- pestuous weather. The Norwegian barque Vascoli Gama has put into port leaky, after being several days out from Whitehaven for Baltimore. The screw steamer Beden, in leaving the port for Garston, collided with the barque,Coletta,of Nova Scotia, and afterw ards grounded on the Northern Twin Island, where she remains.

SCOTCH TORYISM. According -1 to the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, the number of Conservatives in Midlothian who are giving in promises of sup- port to Mr Gladstone, from disgust at the whole- sale manufacture of votes by the agents of Lord Dalkeith. and displeasure with the poMcy of Lord Beaconsfield-whom until recently their natural leader, the Duke of Buccleuch, did not acknow- ledge as his chief is likely by the time the elec- tion takes place to equal the "faggots" that have been created.

REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY. It has long been admitted that the dispensing of justice should be a simple and laconic business, and it would seem that at Harlem polics-court, in the State of New York, something very nearly approaching perfection in this respect has been arrived at. Brought before Juoge Kilbreth on a charge of being drunk and incapable in the streets the night before, John Bloomingheimer proceeded to excuse himself. "This judge, is my first offence," said the prisoner, in a deeply solemn tone. Well, John, you did pretty well for a maiden effort. The officer says you had to be taken on a cart to the station-house. What are you ?" A poor smner, your honour." No, no; your occupation ?" Carpenter." wAnd yet you laid down in the street." Don't mention it, judge." Children ?" Two." Have to punish yon." II Hard." Five dolltro." Oh Ought to be 10 dollars.' Ah Pay your fine ?" Yes." So the case finished, and the representative of law and order proceeded to deal with other misdemeanants. It is almost a pity some such economising of time is not observed in our own courts. Judge Kilbreth's plaD would save a vast amount of time and money.

THE EUSTON-SQUARE iNlYSTERY. HANNAH DOBBS'S STATEMENT. We haye received from Mr Purkiss, publisher, 286, Strand, London, an early copy of annih Dobbs's confession of her connection with the Euston-square mystery. It is published in a small pamphlet of 16 rages. At the end is a fac simile of Hannah Dobbs's signature, together with a lac timile of her handwriting, declaring the story correct in every particular. The incidents men- tioned by the Central News agency a week ago are fully set forth, and all the details connected with Miss Hacker's stay at 4, Euston-square, are very minutely given. Dobbs says, "I have written this book in order that justice may overtake the perpetrators of certain horrible crimes, to clear myself of the suspicion attaching to me as the author of one of these fearful deeds, and to make public that which the police, by prematurely "charging me with the murder, prevented my making before the coroner, and which. by vulgar abuse, they stopped me from saying after iny acquittal. She calls tt. tention to the fact that everything she told the police was fully borne out at the trial, and she asserts that when the police move again in the case, it will be found that she was correct in all her particulars. Dobbs states that she was at no time apprehensive as to the result of her trial. She declares herself innocent. During the brief interv d when the jury were considering then verdict, she ate heartily <.f dry bread, and drank a pint of cocoa. In striking contrast to this was the conduct of Catherine Webster, the Richmond murderess, whom Dobbs met in the refreshment cell, and w) o was unable to partake of food. Dobbs narrates a portion of her past life, and ad- mits it was far from right. The Home Office authorities still have the case under consideration, but have as yet issued no definite instructions to the police in the matter.

The following iint) r- tant matches were then fixed Cardiff and New- port against the rest of South Wales, October 18ih; Public Schools against South Wales Foot- ball Union, at Cardiff, November 15th.:

LORD ELCHO ON THE LAND QUESTION. Lord Elcho, M.P., was present on Tuesday afternoon, at the annual dinner of the Winch- combe Agricultural Association, and responded to the toast of "The House of Commons." He first referred to the question of agricultural degression, and said everybody who held a theory upon the land question was now ventilating it, the latest being that of Mr Parnell and Mr O'Connor Power, u ho wished to abolish landlords altogether, though with somewhat of an "Irish Bill." while proposing to abolish the existing landlords in their own country, they proposed to establish in their place fourfold the existing number of landlords, makmg the occupiers of the land the future tenants, He did not believe the tenants of Great Britain were in any state of bondage more than all classes We re in a at-ite of bondage to anybody who had a commodity to sell, such as a shoemaker, tailor, or any other trades- man. The whole thing was a question of supply and demand. He rejoiced at the appointment of the Royal Commission, because its inquiry would be of the most searching character, and it would explode many fallacies v/hich had been current on the question. Dealing with general questions, he thought the time had arrived when not only the Government, but the leaders on both sides of the House, ought to combine and put down Obstruc- tion. and in conclusion, he entered into a defence of the foreign policy which had been pursued by the Government.

THE WANT OF A PUBLIC HALL AT LLANELLY. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. a: Sirt,-Tt requires no argument to prove that a public-hall is required at Llanelly. That fact was never more patent than on Tuesday evening last, when the electois of the borough of Llanelly had to adjourn for want of room from the Athenieum Hall to Moriah Cllapel. As a Nonconformist, I do not believe in the sanctity of the stone, mortar, and timber of our chapels nevertheless, I must say, ill my opinion, it is not proper to hold a political meeting in a building used for the wor- ship of God. But. in the absence of a hall large enough to contain the electors, what else could be done on Tuesday evening ? The question is often asked, Who is to take the initiative in providing the town with a public-hall? It strikes me it is the duty of the board of health. Corporations in corporate boroughs provide halls for the public, and I am informed that boards of health in incor- poratd boroughs have equal power in this respect. If such is the case, it is full time for the present chairman of the board of health. Mr Wm. Howell, solicitor, to move in the matter: I believe Mr Howell has the welfare of the town at heart. A public hall built over the north entrance of the Market-place would be most suitably situated. The shops below would still command good rents, and the fsite would be free from rent. If the Llanelly Local Board of Health wiil feel that it is their duty to provi le a commodious public hall for the inhabitants, the ways and means, I have no doubt, will be forthcoming.—I am, &c., PRO BONO PUBLICO.
