THE POET LONGFELLOW. The llrst ii.oac'.ng of the committee formed for the purpose of promoting a memorial to the poet Longfellow was held on Wednesday afternoon in Marlborough Rooms, Londoa, Lord Braya pre- siding.—The Chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting, and said that the illustrious American was to be honoured by a memorial which, it was suggested, should take the form of a bust, to be placed in the poets' corner, West- minster Abbey. —Canon Rowsell pioposed a resolution to that effect, and Lord Granville, in seconding it, expressed his pleasure that the bust of the illustrious poet was to placed among those of England's gTeatest mn, and he was happy to see the feeling of cordiality between the two nations growing stronger. He believed the loss of Longfellow was felt quite as much in this country and the colonies as in the United States, and the poet's works were valued by every Englishman.—The resolution was adopted, and the committee appointed, including the Arch- bishops of York and Dublui, Lor l Derby, Mr Matthew Arnold, Earl Granville, Lord Shaftes- bury, Mr Alfred Tennyson, &c., to carry out the proposal, and it was decided to hold a puUic kSieetiug at the Lyeum Tin a; i ■ some futui-j da':e.

PIT ACCIDENT AT TYLOIIS- TOWN. An accident happened at Tylor'a Colliery, Tylorstown, about 4.30 p.m. on Tuesday, but no one was injured. One of the ftuide rope3 in the pit unravelled for a'-x)ut 50 yards whilst the pit was working, which caused a tram of coal to fall off the carriage into the bottom of the pit, a distance of about 200 yards. The colliers had to remain in the pit until between 8 and 9 p.m. on Wednesday in consequence, when they were all got out safely. A policeman was there all the time keeping women and children away. The pit is now all right, aud in working order.

THE LLANWONNO AND TYNYCYMMER HOUNDS. The Llanwonno and Tynycymmer fox-hounds had a. meet at Eglwysilan on Tuesday, when a bag fox was let off. After refreshing the inner man with the good thrngB provided by Host Meyrick, at the Crown Inn, the dogs were started, and Reynard met with a speedy death, the dogs coming up with the rascal in the Aber Valley. The Aber Valley woods were then tried, and a fine red fox broke cover in Coedcaepicca, ran across for the Rhymney Valley, and was killed near the Rock and Hammer farm, just below Ystradmynach. The Tynygraig woods were then tried, and a third red fellow led off up for Llanbradach, and, making a splendid ring," got away to Ystrad Junction Station, crossed the Rhymney Railway, and made for home. He was brought to earth in Tynygraig wood, and was taken alive. There was a large field of mounted horsemen, among them being Mr Williams (Glog) and Miss Williams, Mr G. W. -G. Thomas (The Heath) and the Misses Thomas (2), Miss Morgans and Mr Morgans (Tynycymmer), Mrs D. Wil- liams, Mr Smith, etc.

IHS LANGTay IN NEW YOnKe The catise of the fire in Abbey's Park Theatre, in which Mrs Langtry was, on Monday, to have made her first appearance in the Unequal Match," is unknown. One man was killed, and I several others injured. It is appalling to think of what might have happened had the spectators been within instead of without the burning build- ing. The scene was one of terrible grandeur, the flames leaping many times higher than the roof, whilst burning clouds of canvas were carried some distance away. The open character of the site permitted the congregation of an enormous crowd. The accident lias increased the interest in Mrs Langtry's appearance. The public have purchased every portrait offered. Her apartments overlooked the scene of the fire. Amon many who called upon her whilst the fire was raging was Oscar Wilde, who remarked, It is a beautiful fire." Mrs Langtry's demean- our under this misfortune has been beyond praise. Stie lost nothing, and apparently her chief anxiety has been about the loss sustained by Mr Abbey, the manager. His loss amouncing to about a third of the total, three hundred thousand dollars, is less serious than the derangement of his enter- prises, which are more numerous and important than those of any other American manager. Abundant offers of unlimited assistance have been made, aiiording flattering evidence of the consideration in which he is held. It is already arranged that Mrs Langtry shall displace Joseph Jefferson or Mrs Florence at the Grand Opers. Honse, beginning 011 Monday next. This is now the property of Jay Gould originally it belonged to Jiiii Fi,4:e, who produced French Operas with great si IctiJour. The building is large and hand-, so\i.e, b'.ii; pooriy situated, and iH-ad'.pted to the requirements i.1 Mrs Langtry.

No ar- rrangemeiit lias been made up to the time our parcel left. There is to bo a meeting this week.

CLOSING OF STAFFORDSHIRE TINPLATE WORKS. Last night it became known in Wolverhamp- tlut the Osier Bed Iron Co. have just given their men notice to leave, owing to the firm having de- cided to close this department of their works. Eighty workpeople will be thrown out of employment. This is one of the oldest works in Staffordshire, and this determination has been come to owing to the unprofitable business which has long existed consequent upon the South Wales competition, The block tliia sheet depart- ment of the works will, however, be kept fully going; as these prices are remunerative.

THE SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE. DISPUTE AT TREAMAN AND CYFARTHFA COLLIERIES. Our Pontypridd reporter writes :—At Treaman Colliery there is a dispute as to the cutting price of the seam worked there (the 2it. 9in.). It has gone 011 for some weeks past, and on the 1st of October the men, 50 in number, handed in their notice to terminate contracts. This notice termi- nated on Tuesday, the 31st inst. The men bad, however, made an appeal a week before to Mr Frame, the manager, to allow the tools to be left in for a day or two after the 31st, so as to give them and Mr David Morgan, Mountain Ash, their agent, time to consult with Mr Hann, the general manager of the proprietory, the Powell JJuffryn Steam Coal Company. To this applica- tion Mr Frama consented, so that there has been no stoppage of work. It may be here explained that the men worked under the day wage system. But two months ago a proposal was made by both parties that the employes should work at so much per ton. A disagreement then arose as to the price per ton; the employers (as represented by Mr Hann) submitted 2s 2g 1 per ton, whilst the men insisted that they must have 2s 4d per ton. Hence the difference. The men, accompanied by Mr Morgan, met Mr Hann on Tuesday night, and they had u discussion of an hour and & half upon the position of affairs. The men did not think that they would be able to earn a proper livelihood at the rate of 2s 2d- th,t it would be a worse arrangement, in fact, than the existing one, which provided them with means of subsistence, though these were some- whit scanty. 2s 2d per ton would only come to about 48 3d per head 2s 4d would be nearly 5s per head. Mr Hann argued that the rate of 2s 2d was perfectly fair and reasonable when com- pared with the colliery rates paid elsewhere. The upshot of theinterview was that Mr Hann suggested that the men should resume work for another week, and that Mr Morgan and himself would, meanwhile, go in and re-examine the seam which, by the way, is situate in an old pit at Treaman. This arrangement proved satisfactory to both parties. Throughout the Aberdare Valley the coal-trade is exceedingly brisk, with a few insignificant ex- ceptions. The decision of the recent Manchester conference of miners' delegates has not in any way affected the Aberdare district. The men view the action of the conference with sore dis- trust, if not actual hostility. It is fully expected that the coming Association Collieries sliding- scale award will give some measure of wage ad- Tanee. At Cyfarthfa Collieries, where about 2,000 men are employed, dissatisfaction prevails as to the rate at present paid to the men, who hold that in some instances tha prices are below what they ought to be according to the present asso- ciation scale, under which they work. The men, therefore, sent for Air David Morgan, Mountain Ash, to investigate matters. They pointed out to him that the grievance was intensified owing to the wide diver- gence between the rales paid in the Merthyr valley for cutting coal, &c., and those which ruled in the Aberdare and Rhondda valleys. Merthyr \la3 a iong way behind. Mr Morgan found tlkt th" representations which had been made to him were correct, but advised the men to be cautious in their mode of action, so as not to aggravate or embitter the minds of their employer-, who, he had no doubt, would give reasonable considera- tion to what they had to say. He also said that he would not, under any circumstances, at imy timo be a narty to any procedure which would violate or evade the association sliding-scale. He suggested that a deputation should wait upon Mr Jones, the general manager, and Mr Bates, hio deputy, to discuss the matter at Msue. This course was taken, and the men asked Mr Jones to allow Mr David Morgan to be present at an interview with him. Mr Jones agreed to reccive a deputation ot the men, and thought it would be best that they should at first meet without Mr Morgan should they fail to agree, Mr Morgan could then be called in. The men accepted this arrangement. Another subject of conversation at Cyfarthfa is the advisability of retaining 3d weekly from the sick pay towards the purposes of the perma- nent relief fund. Mr Evan Owen is to be asked to address the men on the point. Much satisfaction is expressed at the appoint- ment of Mr W. Dyer, overman of the Castle Pit, to the oversight of the Cyfarthfa colliers underground, in place of the late Mr T. Eynon. The Dowlais hauliers are agitating for redress of what they apparently deem thÜr wage-rate wrongs. An appl has fir8t en addressed to them urging unanimity of resolve, so as to 3i.u.e it!J to the 1.(:J ,îi. burroundiag works. Mr Daniel Tlijwim^, proprietor or Dinas Col- liery, is indefatigable in his efforts to get at the rest of the unreco.'ered dead in the pit. Another body has been got at, but it is unidentified.

SETTLEMENT OF THE DISPUTE AT OLD LODGE. LLANELLY. [FROM OUR OWN RiJPORTEE.] The Old Lodge Works, Llaneliy, were starltd by Messrs Nevill Bros, many years ago, Mr W. H. Nevill being the managing partner. It wac principally worked on merchants' iron and Government contracts. The iron soon became re- nowned for its quality. Some years ago the works was stopped, and were then sold to the Llangennech Tinplate Com- pany, who manufactured bars there for their own use at Llangennech. Lately they hav. added black plates to their manufactures, but the coating of the plates is done at Llangennech. A notice was posted about three weeks ago to cease all contract's, winch would expire on Saturday next. It was understood that it meant a re-arrangement between the scalers, shinglers, &c., who were paid so much a day, and this meant, in case of accident to machinery, &c., a loss. The new arrangement required was supposed to bo an alteration of the contract from a daycontiactto soniuch perton. An arrange- ment was come to oil Tuesday and Wednes- day in some departments, and it is to be hoped that before the notio-s expires the men in tIn other d partmeiits will arrange matters. The puddlers work at the old price of 8s 6d per ton on the bloom, and it is thought that notice will be given to get it the same as Llangennech, 10s on the finished bars. Since the works have been started by the present company, they have been work- ing very regularly.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE. WOLVEKHAMPTOK, Wednesday.—Business was steady,and mostly firm. Merchants and consumers declined to concede full rates, but were less reluc- tant to meet sellers part way. Bars which had been advanced to JS8 could not be had for less, but reliable merchant bars were procurable at jB7 till Christmas. Girder, bridge, and tank plates were selling makers sought from £8 10s to JB9. Good boiler plates were .£9 10s to J310 singles were £ S 10s. Some best native pigs were quoted at £;3 15s. Cannock Chase coal was up Is.

THE PULLMAN" CAR DISASTER. The inquiry into the circumstances attending- the death of Dr Arthur was resumed at Leeds on Wednesday, before the borough coroner. Donald- son, the conductor of the car, retailed, now aid that in his opinion the origin of the fire was that the curtains of Mr Cranston's berth had caught fire from his can3le lamp. He closed the curtain of that berth without seeing the lamp put out. He never saw Mr Main's lamp lighted, nor Mr Doves', and Dr Arthur did not light a lamp. He considered Dr Arthur the worse for drink, be- cause he talked incoherently and behaved qneerly. —Henry Bairy, conductor of the Excelsior car, attached to the same train, said he saw Dr Arthur change from a Bogie carriage to the Enterprise car at Leicester. Witness's first intima- tion that there was anything wrong was after passing Normanton, when he saw a light at the end of his car. The train ran a mile after that before stopping. He was under the impression that all the passengers were not out of the car, .and he made an attempt to get in, but the flames drove him back.—John Birnie, goods guard, said he saw the train with the blazing car, and when it stopped there was considerable con- fusion, and no one seemed to know whether all the passengers we out or not.—Joseph Gray, a police-constable, deposed to entering the car and finding deceased's body in one of the berths.—Two witnesses stated that in their opinion if their attention hr.d been drawn to the fact that one was in the car there would have been time to have saved deceased before the firo seized the compartment where he lay.—The inquest was adjourned until Tuesday next. The funeral of the late Dr. John F. Arthur,"the victim of the Pullman car disaster, will take place to-day at the Free Church burying ground, Ban- chory Devenish, near Aberdeen.

GLAMORGANSHIRE BAPTIST I ASSOCIATION. QUARTERLY MEETINGS AT WHIT- I CHURCH. i The quarterly meetings of the Glamorganshire Baptist Association were commenced on Wednes- day afternoon, at the Wanntreoda Chapel, Whit- church, when about fifty delegate ministers were present. The proceedings, which were conducted, as usual, in the vernacular, commenced with a conference, in the afternoon. A discussion took place upon the dispute between the Rev. J. Watts, and the deacons of the church at conference, in the afternoon. A discussion took place upon the dispute between the Rev. J. Watts, and the deacons of the church at Wauntreoda, Mr Watts continuing to take charge of the church against the wishes of the deacons. A resolution was proposed in order that the matter might be discussed in private by the Rev. J. Lewis (Swansea), and seconded by the Rev. Mr Harris (Mill-street, Aberdare), that the following gentlemen should form themselves into a committee for the consideration of the subject: —The Revs. N. Thomas (Cardiff), Jones (Salem), Humphreys (Docks), W, Morgan Messrs Lewis, J. Griffiths, Alfred Thomas (Mayor of Cardiff), Thomas, and Roderick, and also the chairman lld the secretary of the association (Dr. Evans, Neath). Among the other resolutions passed was one receiving the Rev. B. Thomas, Haverfordwest College, to the association. It was resolved to give permission to the church at Mill-street, Aberdare, to enlarge the building, and to the church at the Rhondda to build a schoolroom. Votes of sympathy in their con- tinued illness were passed with the Rev. John Lloyd, at present residing at Cardiff and with the Rev. T. Jtuikins, of Pentyrch. Sermons were also preached at different chapels belonging to the denomination, in the evening. At the Tabernacle Chapel, the Hayes, Cardiff, the preachers were the Rev. J. Lewis (Swansea), Dr. Evans (Neath), and Jon"1s (Berthllwyd). At Tongwynlais, Salem (Cardiff), and the docks, several of the ministers at present in the district deli tied addresses. The meetings will continue with pieaching services at the Wauntreoda Chapel to-morrow.

MONMOUTHSHIRE CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE. A general meeting of the members of this chamber was held at the King's Head Hotel on Wednesday afternoon, to receive a communica- tion frofn Major Rankin, M.P. for Leominster, aa to the desirability of chambers of agriculture obtaining fuller agricuiuiral statistics than are at preJent collected lJy the Board of Trade; and to discuss the agenda of the central chamber, which comprises the proposed appointment of a, Minister of Agriculture and the question of tariffs. Mr J. A. Herbert, of Llanarth, the president of the chamber, occupied the chair, and there were also present Messrs H. Williams, J. S. Stone, T. Col- bornb, R. Stratton, A, R. Stone, E. Thomas, T. Pairy, etc. The SECRETARY (Mr J. R. Stone) reported that since the annual meeting the president, Sir Henry Jackson, Mr R. Herbert, and Captain Herbert, had become life members, and Mr Fay, Caerleon, and Mr T. F. Smith, Newport, annual members. With reference to the letter sent by Major Rankin, which was read, the Secretary stated that at present statistics were obtained of the acreage under crops and under pasture and the number of animals in the United Kingdom. Last year 552,000 occupiers of land sent in returns, which was an increase of 1,680 occupiers who fur- nished them as compared with the previous year. Mr f. WILLIAMS, one ot the deputies to the central chamber, expressed the opinion that ex- tended statistics would not be of such benefit to the farmer that he should express any desire to get them. Such a course looked to him very much like advertising one's business for the sake of the general community, to whom these statistics were of greater value than to the farmer. The fact that they became public property prevented them from being of special value to the latter. He was afraid, too, that if the return was made more minute in detail, it might hinder farmers from making returns at all. Mr COL BORN B thought it would be better to wait until a Minister of Agriculture was ap- pointed before taking any steps. The matter was accordingly deferred. Mr COLBORNE read a letter which had been re- ceived from Capt. Craigie, of the central cham- ber, a.skiog whether, assuming that a Minister of Agriculture was appointed, there would be an ob- jection to something approaching to an official connection between the different chambers of agriculture and the Government, to obtain relia- ble information on agricultural matters, in the same way that the different local boards in the kingdom were in communication with the Presi- dent of the Local Government Board. If cham- bers got any assistance by such an alliance, and it did not interfere with their independence of action, he thought there would be no harm in it, and good might result. The CHAIRMAN thought that chambers of agri- culture should endeavour to urge their claims to recognition in the least pretentious manner. They might not succeed in getting appointed a Minister of Agriculture, but they might obtain a department attached to the Home Office. Such a department would not cost one-tenth the sum a Minister would, and whilst it would be almost equally efficacious in watching over the interests of agriculture, it would raise points of difficulty in conncction with a Minister which had already been made public. Chambers were far more likely to obtain what they desired if they ask for a department instead of a Minister of Agri- culture. Mr E. WILLIAMS endorsed the suggestion, and proposed the following resolution — ''That whilst affirming the resolution for the appoint- ment ot a Minister of Agriculture, passed on the 27th April, 1881, this meeting suggests that, in the event of the Government not appointing a separate Minister, every effort be made to obtain the appointment of a department specially charged with the interests of agriculture." In almost every other country of Europe, there was a separate Minister, whose business it waa to attend to the affairs of agriculture, and he could not but think that in England, where agricultural affairs were certainly as important, if not mora important than they were elsewhere, there should be some direct and responsible official or Govern- ment department, able to act in the interests of the farmer on occasions of great or sudden emergency. Such a department could not but be of great benefit to the whole community. Cases would recur to the mind, such as the cattle plague and other matters, in which, if immediate action had been taken, a great saving would have been effected. Mr COLBORNE, in seconding the resolution, thought it was rather a reflection on the agricul- turalists of England that thoy had been content for so long without any representation of the vast interests they had at stake. Such a department as he wished to see should be wholly irrespective of the passing politics of the day, and should deal with the questions within its scope as part of the general good government of the country in its broadest and most national meaning. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was carried. Mr H. WILLIAMS said that the next question for discussion, that of foreign tariffs, was one that was repeatedly being raised by a section of gentle- men at the central chamber, and he should be glad to receive some directions on the subject. He did not think a. return to protectionist duties of any kind commended itself to the general public still, it was the duty of the farmers to be on the alert, because if protection was wanted in any industry, there was none which wanted it so badly as themselves. He did not say that farmers wanted it, but when the day came that any class wanted protection, it would give farmers the right to ask that their interest, as the most im- portant one, should be first considered. (Hear, hear.) Mr COLBORNE said whether it was in the pro- duce of our land, our mines, or our iron foundries, we must compete with the rest of the world. In common with his friend who had spoken, he did not think England would retrace her steps. He did not think it would have been found that any appreciable hardship was inflicted on the working classes if a moderate duty of Is or 2s per quarter had been left on wheat when the corn laws were dealt with. But as things were now, it was about as reasonable to cry for the man in the moon as expect to such a duty. Political his- tory does not retrace its steps, and therefore it was a waste of time and energy which might be devoted to other matters in connection with agriculture to think about or ask for protection in any form. Every trade was ready to cry out when its own interest was affected. There was a strong party at Bristol in favour of free trade in everything ex- cept cigars; and then were not the men of Coven- try freetraders to the backbond in everything ex- cept ribbons? (Laughter.) He did not think it wÓ; to pass any resolution on the subject. Mr R. STRATTON and Air THOS. PARKY con- curred in this course, and the latter pointed out that as a chemical manufacturer lIe was preju- diced to the extent of £5 per ton by the import of American chemicals. A desultory conversation ensued on a question by Mr PARRY, as to whether county boards had been considered by the chamber, and the Secre- tary invited Mr Parry to introduce the topic at a future meeting. In proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding, Mr COLBORNE regretted that the attendance was so small, and assured Mr Herbert that it arose from no lack of courtesy to himself, on that the first occasion when he presided. The proceedings then concluded.

SOCIALIST PRINTING ESTAB- LISHMENT. An extraordinary communication, dated from Berne, has reached the Havas Agency. It announces that a committee of Socialists have acquired the old Castle of Wyclen, near Winter- thur, which they intend to use as a printing and publishing establishment. The necessary plant is said to be already on the spot, and the castle is being arranged to hold a considerable number of inmates. Among the purchasers are the Ger- man Socialist leaders Bebel, Gullenberger, and Vollmar, a Swiss named Burki, and Labutzdoff, a Russian. The Socialists have displayed some tact in including a native in their association, as on that account the Government will find it dif- I ficult to interfere with the nefarious commerce to be carried on at Wyden without infringing the Constitutional rights of the citizen. A Socialist stronghold, undibguisedly established for the pro- pagation of incendiary publications, and presum- ably of something still more dangerous, is indeed a novelty. If the Helvetic Government really finds itself unable to prevent so compromising a trade being openly carried on within its borders, the peaceful inhabitants of Winterthur might be allowed for once to dispense a little rough popular j justice to the dangerous foreigners within their canton.

CARDIFF WATER SUPPLY, TO THB EDITOR. Sm,-In my letter of the 23rd inst., which ap- peared in the South Wales Daily News last week, I pointed out how 3,220,587 gallons of water per day can be secured from the Aber Valley by adopting the least favourable method of dealing with the watershed. I now wish to draw atten- tion to a feature of the Aber Valley scheme which merits the careful consideration of the town council. I refer to the fact that if the waters of the Aber Valley be dealt with in the manner I have suggested the works can be executed by de- grees, and so as to meet the growing requirements of the town, and thus entail the expenditure of part only of the money which would be required if the daily average quantity of four million gal- lons of water avaitable were to be dealt with at one time. By the construction in the first instance of the Cwm Nofydd reservoir on the south side of the Caerphilly hills to bold 104 millions, and two reservoirs above Aber-tri-dwr to hold 210 millions, sufficient water could be impounded to provide two million gallons for the daily supply of Cardiff, after apportioning sufficient water from the reservoirs above Aber- tri-dwr for the compensation of the stream. The net cost of these works, including land, law, and engineering, and deducting the present value of pumping at Ely saved for seven years, and minimum rent of Llandaff, should not exceed £ 112,000. It is quite possible that the quantity of water thus provided in addition to the existing supply from Lisvane may be sufficient for the wants of Cardiff for many years to come. In the event, however, of further supplies being found neces- sary, the whole of the waters impounded above Aber-tri-dwr could be rendered available for the supply of Cardiff by storing all the water neces- sary for compensation to the stream below Aber- tri-dwr. The outstanding advantage of this progressive method of dealing with the waters of the Aber is that a considerable saving will be effected in the first cost of the works. From the Cwm Nofydd reservoir water could be delivered at a fine pressitreinto Cardiff and from a service reservoir at Green-meadow water would gravitate direct into the existing high level reser- voir at Landough, and, therefrom, it would flow into the Cogan reservoir, and thus the system of supply to Penarth, Penarth Dock, and Cogan could be maintained as at present without much expendi- ture on new works, and pumping from Ely would not be required. From your report of the town council meeting held on Friday last I find that Mr Councillor David Jones, in advocating the adoption of the Taff Fawr as a source of water supply for Cardiff, recommends the construction of two reservoirs at Crew Isaf, and mains to deliver Taff Fawr water into the existing Lisvane reservoir, and his figures are as follow ;—' GlIon. Daily supply from Taff Fawr reservoirs 2,620,000 Add dry weather tiow from Tatf Fawr 1,000,000 3,620,000 Dry weather flow from Lisvane watershed 300,000 Total per day 3,920,000 Practically four millions. The results of dealing with the waters of the Aber, as suggested in my letter of the 23rd inst., were shown as follow: Gallons. Water supply from the Aber Valley per day 3,229,587 Total water of good quality available per day from Lisvano. 1,544,584 Total per day 4,774,171 Mr Councillor Jones's estimates of the cost of Taff Fawr Scheme are as under :— Reservoirs at Crew lsaf E68,349 Mains (exclusive of filters) 139,000 Mains and other works for the conveyance of water from Lisvane Into tho town 18,010 Parliamentary, law, and engineering expenses 18,000 Total £ 243,359 Deducting capitalised cost of pumping at Ely 25,000 Net cost £218,359 The net cost of supplying to Cardiff 3,229,587 gallons of Aber water per day as stated above, I estimate at £ 135,160, or B83,199 less than 3,620,000 gallons per day can be supplied from Taff Fawr. Mr Jones further deals with the financial aspect of the Taff Fawr schemes as it affects the rates in the following manner:- Gross outlay on Taff Fawr Works. B245,000 Interest on this amount at 4 per cent per annum £9,800 Sinking fund for 80 years at 3i per cent per annum. 517 £ 10,317 Credit amount saved annually at Ely pumping station 1,000 Total charges on the rates per annum £9,317 If the Aber Valley schemes be treated in the same manner the cases would stand thus Gross outlay on works £ 165,000 Interest on this amount at 4 per cent per annum £6,600 Sinking fund for 80 years at 3 £ per cent per annum. 348 £ 6,948 Credit amount saved annually at Ely Pumping Station 1,000 Total charges on the rates per anunm £5.948 Again If the works be carried out as recom- mended above to provide two million gallons per day from the Aber Valley for the supply of Car- diff at a net cost of 4112,000, the charges on the rates would be about £4,500 per tnntim-less than half the annual amount that Would be required if the water were to be obtained from the Taff Fawr in the manner recommended by Mr D. Jones.—I am, &c., G. L. LUNDIE. Cardiff, Oct. 31,1882.

MERTHYR LOCAL BOARD. THE EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES. The fortnightly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, when there were present—Messrs T. Williams, J.P. (in the chair), J. Probert, W. Bell, J. Plews, J. Gabe, D. Davies, J. Bryant, Jenkins, 11. Hansard, and W, Harris, junr.— The Clerk reported that he had been to Aberdare, and furnished the clerk to tho local board with full particulars of the amount due from that board, payment of which, however, had not yet been received. With regard to the deduction,") made by the Aberdare Board for income-tax, he (the clerk) was perfectly satisfied, after seeing the books, that this money had been paid, although Mr Geary was unable to produce the receipts.— la answer to Mr Plews, the Clerk stated that he intimated to Mr Geary Uiat the Merthyr Board ought to have been conscRed before the Aberdare board took upon itself to pay income-tax. He might say, however, that the authorities at Somerset House had decided that the Aberdare Board were bound to pay income tax.-Mr Plews: If the matter had been placed before the authorities in a proper form, they would not have compelled them to pay it.—Mr Bell asked whose duty it would be to endeavour to recover the income-tax which has been paid twice over.—The Chairman thought it would be their duty to communicate with the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, and inform them that they had already paid income-tax on the whole amount received from the Aberdare bord.-It was resolved that this course be j /lopted.—The tender ot Mr Matthew John was accepted for smith's work and the supply of cast- ings.—The tender of Mr J. P. Lewis, Cardiff, was accepted for the supply of larch fencing at Treharris at £ 55 5s 6d.— larch fencing at Treharris at £55 5s 6d.— The medical officer of health reported that there were 107 births, and 71 deaths registered during the four weeks ending the 28th October. These numbers represented annual rates of births of 20, and of deaths of 18 per 1,000. During the past fortnight 17 new cases of scarlet fever were an- nounced, and three deaths were occasioned by this malady. In the same period 150 cases of measles were reported, viz., 17 in Merthyr, 43 in Twynyrodyn, 58 in Abercanaid, 3 in Pcntrebach, 5 in Georgetown, 7 in Tydfil's Well, and 17 in Penydarren. This disease caused two deaths, The infant schools at Twynyrodyn, St. David's, said Abercanaid had been closed since the 23rd, 24th, and 27th days of Oct. respectively in each case for a fortnight. The infection of measles in each of these schools had obtained a firm grip upon those who attended there. He there- fore believed it would be most just to "the liitlu children if they were relieved from attendance for an additional fortnight. The children attend- ing Penydarren schools were apparently indicated as being the next to be attached. Experience, charity, and duty :taught them to prevent the spread of the malady.—On the motion of Mr W. Harris, jun., it was resolved that that part of the medical officer's report referring to the epidemic of measles be forwarded to the school board.—Dr. Dyke said the inspector of nuisances sent fuR details of every fresh case to the school board, but it happened that the attendance officers of that board were beforehand with the information. From one of the latter he had heard of the dis- covery of 19 fresh cases of measles in Twynyrodyn that morning. Dr. Probert remarked that he had not attended a fret,h case since Thursday last. On the motion of Mr Jenkins, a committee was appointed to ascertain whether the repayment of loans entered into by the board might not be extended over a longer period than at present, and thus relieve the rates. Mr Plews mentioned that he had been engaged in investigating this matter, and had been in communication with some persons in London with respect to their lending a sum sufficient for the board to payoff the whole of their present liabilities. He had not had sufficient time to complete his calculations, but as far as he had gone he believed that if the board borrowed sum- cient money to enable them to pay off the whole of their loans at once, they would effect a saving of B750 a year for interest. It was understood that Mr Plews' suggestion would be considered by the committee.—A letter from the town clerk of Cardiff, inviting the members of the board to join in Friday's deputation to Mr Mundella, in reference to the proposed college for South Wales, was ordered to lay on the table, the board being of opinion that no interest was taken in the matter in the locality. This concluded the business.

THE ENGLISH IN EGYPT. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CAIRO, October 18th.—You have already berm informed that the three counts in the indictment against Arabi have no reference whatever to treason against the Khedive, nor armed conspiracy against his Government. As will be seen by the following statements, it was impossible to arraign him and his colleagues on this capital ground. The charges upon which these men might, as it was supposed, have been arraigned were either Conspiracy or combining to control by forco the policy of the Khedive, or rebellion against or re- nstance to the orders of the Khedive," and lastly participation in cruelties and excesses in the and war." The conspiracy and rebel- lion may have existed and probably amounted to mutiny and treason but all this was formally condoned before the military outbreak by the nomination of Arabi to the office of Minister of War, a position which he held at the beginning of hostilities. It is true this appointment and con- donation may have been forced upon the Khedive, but nevertheless, they took place and were recog- nised by our authorities in Egypt. As for rebel- lion and resistance, there was none until after tho war began and following the attack on Alexan- dria, which it must be noted was not sanctioned either by the Khedive or Sultan. Later on than this the Khedive was not a free agent, as he was in the hands of a foreign power, and not acting under the orders of the Sultan nor could he, it is contended, under these circumstances, give iawful orders to his Ministry and troops. In fact, so little did the Khedive regard resistance to England as resistance to himself, that in his proclamation declaring Arabi a rebel he actually blamed Arabi for not resisting England with more energy and success. The Sultan has never positively declared that Arabi was a rebel, but only that he deserved to be called one. At any rate h, is not, and never was a rebel against England, for he owed her no allegiance, and he could not, therefore, be condemned by England for rebellion. Then cumes another duneulty, which is the point on which our Government policy has turned. Arabi was our prisoner of war; and it would be ungenerous and dangerous to surrender him for trial by those who could not in the nature of things do him justice, and whom we may reasonably fear may be inter- ested in putting him to death. Either, therefore, as a military conspirator or a rebel it does not appe.u- that there is a. case against him. If, how- ever, he has taken any active or authoritative part in murder, conflagrations, cruelties, or excesses connected with the rebellion and war, then a case for these crimes may justly be made against him, and if found guilty would morally and legally justify his execution and that of his accomplices. It is, therefore, upon these charges that Arabi, Toulba, and several others of the rebel leaders are to be arraigned and tried. Our Government, however, could not without some difficulty deal with these men judicially, as they have uhder diplomatic political circumstances no legal status in the country. It was, there- fore obliged to hand them over tor trial to the constituted authorities of Egypt for this purpose, but, anxious that the men captured by our forces red handed and armed should be rightly dealt with, it covenanted with the Egyptian authorities that they should have a fair trial with counsel to de- fend them. I have already informed you that the Egyptian Government held this to mean any Egyptian counsel, while Sir E. Malet regards it as any counsel, English or otherwise. The Egyptian authorities state that foreign counsel have no legal status in their courts, and especially before a court-martial, that English law and Egyptian differ essentially in criminal proceed- ings, and that confusion would result from English lawyers being admitted, and consequently the prosecution would be personally impeded. This latter contingency is strongly deprecated, on several grounds. The Egyptian authorities assert, as the best judges of the spirit of the people at large, that swift justice can only free them from the impression that Arabi and his colleagues have not been beaten that, in fact, the death of the leader is the only means of purifying the country. We English—they say—have no adequate idea of the ignorance and prejudice of the Fellaheen, thir nadines3 to swallow ûny story which a fanatical intriguer may tell them. I must confess there are good foundations for this belief. A more ignorant, brutalised people them the lower classes in Egypt it is difficult to ioiagine. From what I have heard and seen of them, I have come to the conclusion if they at all resemble the a.ncient Canaanites, a very great Scripturaldifficulty is removed. I for one no longer stumble at the divine command for tho utter destruction of peoples because of their utter cor- ruption. A mixture of races is found hore, representatives of all the barbarians of a great part of Africa, utterly ignorant, debased, and without moral enlighten- ment. I do not now wonder at the ''Arabian Nights' Entertainments." I believe ths wildest and most absurd stories would be listened to by them, and substantially believed and as for lying, they know but little difference between falsehood and truth. A judg of the mixed tribunal here told me some facts bearing upon thib. Ho said it was a mistake to suppose that MuJiommedans were Catholic in their faith. On the contrary, he stated they were divided into numerous sects. Each of them had a different view of the sanctity of an oath. Some would swear by their own head" speak the truth, and others would feel religiously bound to do so if they* swore by the head of their opponent in a law case. Ii asked to swear by anything which they did not hold &8 binding they would lie at their convenience. The difficulty in dealing with witnesses grew out cf finding wiiat form of oath was specially binding in these cases. I will not tell you of the licentious indecencies prevail- ing here—indecencies so shameful, as a friend re- marked, to make it undesirable to bring an Eng- lish lady to this city. In fact the land—I mean the people—as a. whole is corrupt, ignorant, and, to us, abominable. It was on such a population that Arabi and his colleagues worked to accomplish their purposes. How they succeeded is in thj massacres of Alexandria, Tf-uhih. Kafr Zayal, and Kafr Dowar, and in the burning and pil- laging ot the former city. The slJlr.t taus evoKed is the natural—I might say national—spirit of the lower classes of people. Th j punishment of tbli mnn who infused this spirit can only allay it. I rCounted in last letter that a sheikh near had been arrested for exciting the people, and telling them that Arabi had been in heaven for thirty day", consulting with Mahomet. Hia Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught stated, on his return from the first cataract, that tho people in that region believed that Arabi had been bought over by the English—or squared— and was uow the ^hief adviser of the KLedivo. Under all these circumstancjs it is no wonder that the Egyptian authorities hesitate to admit English lawyers sMit by Mr Blunt to dufend the rebel chiefs. There is another point I must remark, upon which Chorif Pasha laid great stress when I saw him yesterday. He deprecated a criminal prose. cution having introduced into it political matters. The meaning I put upon his Excellency's remark j ia that, if Mr Blunt's lawyers are to have .ull scope, the whole Lgyptian question will come under review, including the. action in Egypt of our Government, I have just read Mr Blunt's letter in the Times, and notice specially his unjustifiable remark a.bout Sir Edward Malet. Mr Broadley and his col- leagues have all assured mo that Sir Edward has done all he can to aid them. The question of the defeneo haa at last been settled. The Egyptian Government have decided to admit Messrs Broadley a.nd Napier, with Mr Eve, as counsel for Arabi. The conditions. sub- stantially are that the witness^ be heard in a preliminary court — that is, a Court d'Accu- sation. The evidence collected therein is to be handed over to the Egyptian court-martial to be acted upon judicially. This is substantially the arrangement but cercain details aro • still under consideration. An inter- view between Cherif Pasha, Mr Broadlev, and Sir Edward Malet this morning has further facilitated matters, and the counsel are to see Arabi at once. The evidence collected during the recent pre- liminary examination of the prisoners, and what the Government holds besides, is very voluminous; a long trial may be anticipated. It was arranged that the trial should begin after Bairam. This festi- val begins on Monday next, the 23rd inst., and lasts for four days. Friday, the Mahommedan Sunday, is a dies nan, and probably, therefore, it may open on the Saturday following. I doubt, however, if it will, for the lawyers will have to examine all the evidence. They have taken aplutments at Shepherd's Hotel, and intend opening the case, which promises to be a. cause cilibve, in grand style. Baker Pasha's scheme for the reformation of the Egyptian army, and for a gendarmerie, has been adopted with but slight alterations by the Government. He proposes an army of good regulars, to be officered on the plan of our Indian army, all the superior officers to be Euro- peans, and, of course, in the present in- stance dso, to be English officers. General Baker speaks in the highest terms of the Minis- ter of War and his readiness to adopt with scarcely an alteration the schema placed before hi:n. The contrast between the manner in which the Egyptian authorities do business, and that of the Turks he finds very great. The former look after the interest of their country, and act promptly, whilst the latter regard mainly their own interests. The pay of the army had been fixed by General Baker at a low figure, in order to meet, aa he supposed, the circum- stances of the case: but the Egyptian Government have raised it to the nigh rate paid our Indian troops. An entirely new uniform has been adopted. Instead of the white dress worn, a light grey has been chosen. General Baker wore part of this uniform at Reaz Pasha's banquet, when it was criticised favour- ably. The regular army is to be recruited from the Albanian element in the country, descend- ants ot the 70,000 Albanian soldiers introduced by Mehemet Ali. These speak the language of the-people thy are natives, but of superior and more soldierly qualities. General Baker has most carefully avoided in his plans giving rise to feel- ings of jealousy on the part of the Egyptians. So far as the command of the troops is concerned, he has succeeded. The gendarmerie w11; com- prise 1,500 men under Cols. Synge and Thomas Baker, V.C., as inspectors. With the local police General Baker has not interfered at all. The banquet given by Reaz Pasha, on Wednes- day night, was a brilliant affair. It was held in the large building occupied both by the Minister of the Interior and by the Minister of Finance. The building was illuminated in front, and so were the beautiful grounds about it. Sir Garnet Wolseley and H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught sat opposite H.E. Reaz Pasha. At the close of the banquet Reaz Pasha proposed the health of her Majesty in words which might have fallen from the lips of one of her Majesty's most loyal subjects. Then followed a toast to the Khedive. Referring to the presence of the Duke of Connaught in graceful terms, the Egyptian Statesman next proposed the health of the Prince of Wales and the Royal Family, to which the Duke replied. The army waa responded to by Sir Garnet Wolseley. All the time we were at dinner the Arab Band outside kept matters lively by playing "Rule Britannia." Then followed aucecAtitianJto wb.iQb.300 received inyitationa.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A WOMAN AT NEWPORT. At the Gloucester Assizes on Wednesdav, Emllla Cox, 30, of no occupation, was cinu'gt-a with wounding, with intent to murder, Thomas Goodwin, at the borough of Newport, on the itth August, 1832. She pleaded not guiity. Mr ii. H. Amohlett prosecuted, and Mr Lvtteiton defended.—Mr Amphlett, ill opening the C;ie, said it was a most painful one, and he was afraid the question wontj be what was the state of tire prisoner's mind at the time of the occurrence. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a- nifirrifjcl woman, went to the house of Mrs Goodwin—her Eiister-in-law-at about half-past nine in the mora- mg and then complained of her head. She said phe would take a walk bv the canal, and ask<td Mrs Goodwin to allow her son Thomas to go with her. Mrs Goodwin allowed the boy to go. Tb* prisoner was afterwards seen by a. witness named English with her left hand on the head oi the boy, who was lying on the ground and screaming. The prisoner, who was bending over the boy, .said to the witness, He is dying," The boy and till, pn- soner then raised tlieinse' ves from the ground, and the witness noticed a knif", which was recog- nised by Mrs Goodwin as one from her house, and also saw blood on the boy's face and gashes on hia throat.—William Jenkins said that, hearin screams en the day in question, he ran in th direction whence they came and saw a womae with her left hand on a boy's head, ths boy lying screaming on the ground. As. he was going he paw the woman vise mur the ground, and he afterwards saw the knife and; wounds on the eluld. He took the child home. In answer to Mr Lvtteiton, witness said thi prisoner looked very wild.—P.C. Rawiings saic- that in the d;.y of th occurrence be charged the prisoner with attempting to take the life ni Thomas Goodwin. Prisoue- said What have 1 done? Have I hurt him ?" and repeated thia several times. ><ne seemed quite lost.—Dr. iX Scott described the wound from which the boy had suffered. It was a superficial wouirl, no arteries having bean severed. Toe boy was I it tu t ally a delicate boy. He saw the prisoner tbs same day, and found her^uite "lost." She would not answer any questions he asked her, and there was no doubt her mind was ailected. The boy was suffering from a 19rge abscess in the Lhigiu auet was unauie to be pv>e:u. The prison h1";j made a statement, which was put in as follows :— "I don't k,:ow how I come there, or why I done it I was always very fond of the boy."—Mr Lyttelton urgc-d that" it was evident from the evidence that the prisoner's mind was affected, and pointed out the utter absence of motive, and the affection which the prisoner seemed to have had for the boy.-Tlie jury acquitted the prisoner I on the ground of insanity, and the judge orderyd ,J that she should be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. pleasure.
