MONEY MARKET. [SPECIALLY TELEGKAFME'D.] LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, Money was not quite so firm, but loans were in request, and charged 4 per cent. The discount inquiry has been less active, and three months' bills were negotiated at 3 to 4 per cent. There is new less apprehension respecting the probable gold shipments to America., owing to the im- proved position of the Bank of England, but the UBual demand in connection with the close of the year will be felt, and will tend to steady the market, until the distribution of dividends in- creases, the available supply of capital. The Parish cheque exchange is telegraphed at 25-23. Business was not active on the Stock Exchange. Dealings in foreign government securities were hindered by the Paris settlement, and uncertainty whether any troubles would be developed, but the general tendency of the markets was good. Tbe principal operations in English railways' account were first completed, disclosing dimi- nishing supply of stock. Consols 1-16 to better, at 1003 to loo3 xd for delivery, and 101i to 101 xd for the account. Reduced and New Three per Cents, looi to 101; New IVo-and-a-half per Cent, 85 to 86 xd. English railways were fill more or less wanted. The account ju,t" concluded discloses a scarcity of stock, the public having evidently been quietly absorbing the supplies of late, as there are very few bona fide sellers. On the eve of dividends property cannot be expected to increase. An infirm market may, therefore, be looked for un- less there be momentary disturbance. A sharp recovery took place in London and Brighton A, and Great Eastern and Great Western, strong. Brighton A rose 3A Great Eastern, i; Cale- donian, North Western, South Eastern A, Great Western and Chatham Preference, J; North British and North Eastern fell â. Indian railways continued a strong market, but business was quiet. Dealings in Canadian railways were limited, but the tendency was still good. Grand Trunk and Second Preference rose Third do., i. Business in American railways was checked by the absence of the usual New York prices in the morning. In consequence very little was done, and the tendency was rather undecided. New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio fell 1; New York Ontario, f Philadelphia and Reading, £ Wabash issues, Foreign railways were inactive, with only •light issues. Varna Ordinary rose &; Mexican, |. The foreign bond market was quiet throughout the day. The Paris Bourse was rather weak. Egyptians were most in favour. Most other specu- lative issues were more OIr less neglected. The final prices differed very little from those of yes- terday. Egyptian rose i to I; Russian, to i Spanish, i; French, Italian, and Turkish fell to i. Telegraphs.-Anglo-A;nencan rose i Direct United States fell i; West India and Panama First Preference, £ Second Pref., i.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF A NEW CHURCH. A MUNIFICENT GIFT. ARCHDEACON GRIFFITHS AND CHURCH PROSPECTS. On Friday, the foundation stone of a mission church was laid at Tylorstown by Mrs Edmondes, wife of the Rev. Mr Edmondes, vicar of Cow- bridge. The neighbourhood, situate in the parish of Ystradyfodwg, is, if one may so term it, a suburb of Ferndale. Not many years ago its existence was purely prospective, and the travel- ler who paced along the devious road-way routes in the vicinity must have possessed a very fertile imagination indeed to have sighted the wonderful change which was so soon to make this sterile and desolate-looking place a formidable commer- cial and social rival of the well-known trade centre just above it. But the advent on the scene of the Tylorstown Colliery Company, of which Mr Louis Tylor is so distinguished a mem- ber, at once gave Tylorstown a pronounceable name and a satisfactory status. Here, too, it was soon proved, was the nucleus of vast mineral wealth. The company pushed forward their operations with a resolute energy not always associated with capital, and their enterprise was rewarded. Hundreds of hands soon found abun- dant occupation at and about the colliery. Cot- tages lined the hillsides. Builders became more and more speculative, and the varions Noncon- formist connexions were not slow to provide for the religious requirements of the collier com- munities. Tylorstown was dignified with hotels,and a reading-room, and it has quite recently capped the climax of its hopes by compelling recognition even from railway directors, and obtaining a sta- tion all for itself. In the eyes of ardent members of the Estab- lished Church, however, there was one qualifying element in Tylorstown progress it had no church. Especially painful was this fact to the Rev. W. Lewis, the vicar of the parish, who has ever been to the fore in the work of church erec- tion. What were the preliminary steps which were eventually taken to remedy this state of affairs it is needless to here recapitulate it is sufficient to say that a mission church is now to be built. The landowner, the Rev. Mr Edmondes, vicar of Cowbridge, has pre- sented the church eommittee with a capital site for the purpose, and also a donation of £ 400. Irs Edmondes kindly con- sented to do the preliminary honours, and there was, despite the weather's inclemency, an influen- tial, though not very large, assemblage of ladies and gentlemen present on Friday, when the in- teresting and auspicious ceremony came off." Amongst these may be mentioned the Venerable John Griffiths, archdeacon of Llandaff; Rev. Mr Edmondes and Mrs Edmondes Canon Jones, vicar of Llantrissant; Rov. W. Lewis, vicar of Ystrad Rev. Mr Jones, vicar of Glyntaff Rev. Mr Kirkhouse, vicar of Cyfarthfa; Rev. J. Wynne Jones, vicar of Aberdare; Rev. G. A. Jones, Cardiff; Rev. Bickerton Edwards, vicar of Lhmwouno the Rector of Coity Mr Louis Tvlor Mr Morgan Williams and Airs Williams, of the Bank, Pontypridd Mr Grover, Clydach Court; Miss Julia Thomas Mr J. F. MacClure, the Woodlands, PoirtyprkM Mr and Mrs Kirk- home awl Alias Dvaud; Afr George Knill; Mr Idris Williams; Mr E. M. Bruce Vaughan, A.R.I.B.A., Cardiff, the architect; and Mr Jen- kins, Porth, of the firm of Messrs C. Jenkins, for the builders. The usual service was gone through. the Arch- deacon of Llandail and the Vicar of VTstrad tak- ing part in it. Mrs Edmondes very deftly laid the corner stone, the usual complement of newspapers and current coins being practically bequeathed to the antiquarians of future generations. The church is to be called Holy Trinity Church," andisdesigned in the early English style of architecture. It will comprise a nave, apsidal chancel, and vestry. When completed it will, it is said, provide accommodation for 300 people. The walls are to be built in native stone coursed work, tuck pointed with Portland cement. The dressings are to be executed in Westwood ground stone, and the roof will be covered with green slates. The walls internally are to be plastered, and the roof timber will be exposed to view the seating, pulpit, and communion table are to be of pitch pine. The church will be heated with a "Guerness Gill" stove. As it was cold and wet the company adjourned to the Tylorstown Schoolroom to hear the speechifying sequel. r The Archdeacon of LLANDAFF was cordially greeted on rising to speak. He dwelt on the in- terest which lie felt in the place-a greater in- terest, perhaps, than he felt in any other parish in the country. It was a parish where so much work had to be done, and, indeed, so much work was being done. He proceeded to advert to the difference between the past and present condition of the district, and pointed out how suddenly and thoroughly the old rustic population had been superseded through the discovery of the mineral treasures that were underground. He adverted to what he designated as the solitary condition of the former incumbent. The parish was 15 miles long, but there was then only one church there. It was well for him that there were others who, for the love of souls, and not out of hostility to the church, had the inclina- tion and the power to do something for the benefit of those souls. The archdsacon next touched on the requirements of the place. He recounted what had been accomplished. Whereas 20 years ago, as he had just intimated, there was only one clergyman in It he parish, now there were ten clergymen. There was only one church now there were four churches and eight mission-rooms. They saw about them brilliant examples of devo- tion and self-denial, but he urged that that was no excuse for apathy on the part of the Church. Their high duty remained to be assiduously dis- charged they should in a charitable and proper spirit carry forward the religious work which had been commenced. He encouraged Churchmen to go on with the higher work which was before them. There was a great revival going on, and people were hardly aware of the amount of real work which had been done by the Church of England during the last 30 or 40 years in her endeavour to recover lost ground. He touched upon Church educational statistics in this con- nection, and afterwards paid a warm tribute to the generous efforts which Nonconformists had put forward to promote in that district the cause of religion, and set a laudable and most emulous example to men who drew from that valley 920,000 and 225,000 and £ 30,000 a year, but who, sad to say, left hardly a trace of their existence upon the churches and philanthropic institutions of the parish. The Archdeacon concluded an address which was listened to with much enthu- siasm by bestowing a hearty panegyric upon the unselfish and large-hearted gift of the Rev. Mr Edmondes and Mrs Edmondes. At the well-prepared and equally well-served banquet, which was then partaken of at Perrott's Tylerstown Hotel, Mr Louis Tylor presided. The loyal and patriotic toasts having been proposed, The VICAR of YSTlAD proposed The Health of the Rov. Mr Edmondes and Mrs Edmondes," and it was received with vociferous applause. The Rev. Mr EDMONDE8, in responding, sug- gested that a ladies' committee should be formed for furnishing the church. Mrs Edmondes would join,with their permission, and in order to give aa impetus to the word would make a presentation of the Communion service. The Rev. Mr and Mrs Edmondes contribute altogether towards this work 2800 (site and dona- tion). The church will cost, it is estimated, £ 1,200. Over JB20 was collected after the close of the morning ceremony.

THE SL1DING-SCALE IN THE NORTH. The Northumberland and Durham pitmen have given the coalowners notice of the abolition of the sliding-scale. The men claim that increases of wages are delayed by the present arrangement.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE COAL AND IRON TRADES. BARNSLEY, Friday.—The home coal trade in the South Yorkshire district is not near so good as it was expected it would be a short time ago. Ad- vices from London show that the demand is not so active, and prices cannot be sustained. The best qualities of house coal are most in request, but inferior kinds are bad to dispose of. The steam-coal trade is only moderate, the export sea- son having closed. There is, however, a very fair tonnage sent to Hull and Grimsby for steamer and domestic use. Most of the leading railways are drawing a good tonnage of locomotive coal from the district pits. A meeting of the South Yorkshire Steam-coal Owners' Association has been held at Barnsley, to determine the prices at which tenders should be sent in for the North- Eastern contracts. No falling off can be reported in the business doing in engine fuel for Manches- ter and the Lancashire manufacturies. The quantity of coke sent to North Lincolnshire is fully an average one.

COLLIERY DISPUTES IN SOUTH YORKSHIRE. Although the men employed at the various collieries in the South Yorkshire district are at work, great dissatisfaction is expressed at several of the collieries as to the way in which the owners are paying the 10 per cent advance, and at several places the men threaten to send in their notices to cease work. At the Barrow Collieries, where a reduction of 5 per cent was submitted to, this has been returned, and the remaining 5 per cent added to the rate of wages, instead of 10 per cent on the gross. A similar mode of payment has been adopted at Pindar Oaks Colliery. At Mill- trell's Main the percentage has not been added on the gross wages, the deductions being first taken off. At Church Lane the men refused to work on Thursday, owing to a dispute about the rate of payment, but at Stanhope Silkstone several matters in dispute has been arranged.

RE-STARTING OF. BLAENRHONDDA BRICKWORKS. After several years' suspension, these works have been started by the Messrs Jones Bros., of Tymawr (Pontypridd) fame. The first kiln has been burnt off with very great success, and ere long everything will assume a very animated appearance. Necessarily a great many hands are employed to turn out, when in full work, about 35,000 bricks per week. Being so near the pro- posed tunnel of the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway, there is every probability that the works will be commissioned with the order for supplying the bricks for arching.

THE RHONDDA VALLEY COAL TRADE. Our Treorky correspondent writes :—I regret to be unable to report any improvement in the condition of operations at the various collieries in this district since my report of Monday last. Inactivity still predominates at the majority of collieries. Blaenrhondda and Fernhill collieries are still working pretty fair, but not full time. At the Dunraven Colliery not a single turn has been worked during this week. A couple of days has been worked at the Tynewydd Colliery, but at the Bute Collieries matters are quite as bad, if not worse, than when I last wrote, Two days has been worked at the old Bute pit, but one has been worked at the Lady Margaret. It is still confidently asserted that the cause of all this serious stoppage is to "be attributed to the late storms, and that as soon as the ships are able to return to port activity will again pre- vail, as plenty of orders are now on hand. Opera- tions have improved somewhat at Ynysfeio Colliery, but at the Abergorky Collieries matters are still as bad as they can well be. The men, about 700 in number, are idle, and rumour is rife that operations will not be resumed until Wednesday morning next, but there is scarcely any credit given to the statement. The Tylacoch Colliery is still going on very regularly, and has splendid future prospects. Matters have im proved very little yet at the Ocean Collieries, but nearly all the pits belonging to the Ocean Com- pany have been going a little more regularly this week than the previous one. The same will apply to the Tynyoedw and Pentre Collieries, where nearly full tiaie is the order of the day.

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CARDIFF & KISCA. PROPOSED CARDIFF & MONMOUTH- SHIRE VALLEYS RAILWAY. THE TRADE OF CARDIFF AND DISTRICT. MEETING OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE SCHEME. On Friday afternoon, the Mayor of Cardiff (Mr G. A. Stone) presided over a meeting in support of the proposed railway from Cardiff to Risca, held in the Crown Court, Town-hall, Cardiff. There was a very fair attendance of gentlemen interested in the measure, including the ex-mayor (Mr Alfred Thomas), Mr Chas. Thompson, Mr G. Carslake Thompson, Mr J. S. Corbetc, Mr Lewis Williams, Mr E. It. Moxey, Mr W. J. Trounce, Mr T. Waring, Mr Adams, Mr J. G. Marychurch, Mr T. Eveu3, Mr A. Lusty, Mr Jennings, Mr Morel, Mr John Jones (solicitor), Mr P. Morgan, Mr J. A. Corbett, Mr Grnhth (of Griffith and Corbett), Mr It. E. Jones, Mr Lawrence, Mr Sutherland (the engineer), Mr Hichanl, lIfr Cross, and Mr Horder. The MAYOR, in opening the proceedings, re- marked that he had not givea his consent to the use of the hall on any occasion more freely and readily than on the present, for, though he knew but little of the details of the projiCct, it must be evident to all th,1t opening np a coal field such as that represented in the prospectus must bring a large amount of trade to the town, and must benefit all classes of the town. His worship said he had no doubt but that, if this scheme were carried out, the labouring- classes, professional men, and tradespeople — all would be benetited. For if the proposed rail- way were made there would be not only the coal and iron in the Risca district, but Blaenavon would send down large quantities of coal and iron, and the new line would certainly provo of great advantage to the travelling public. (Applause.) The opening of the'new dock at liarry might divert trade from Cardiff, but if this was the case the effect would be counteracted by the construction of this proposed line—a line which, he believed, might be made before the new docks could be. (Applause.) Mr J. A. CORBETT (of Messrs Griffith and Corbett, the solicitors for the bill) next addressed the meeting. He said this was by no means a new idea, for it had long ago been thought that following the Rumney River formed the only proper means of connect- ing the mineral districts of Monmouthshire with the port of Cardiff. But probably owing to the great pressure on the space at the Cardiff Docks, and because the Monmouthshire valleys were not developed so rapidly as the valleys of the Rhondda and Aberdare in Glamorgan, though suggested from time to time, though plans had been pre- viously prepared for making such a railway, the matter had never been brought so far, he be- lieved, as the present scheme. Reference to the hand plan which had been distributed throughout the room would show that there was a coalfield of 80 squaremiles, the produce of which wastoagreat extent unworked. At all events they had not been so much, if at all, exhausted like those in many parts of Glamorganshire. The whole of the produce from that coalfield had either come from Newport to Cardiff, or had to go off to the top of the valley, against a very bad gradient, and to be then brought down here. On both these routes there were two or three junctions where considerable delays took place, and at present, owing to the length of the routes, the delays at the junctions, and the indifferent gradients, almost the whole of the minerals of that district were sent to Newport for shipment. No doubt many of the colliery proprietors would like, if they had an opportu- nity,of shipping a considerable portion at Cardiff, whert; it was known the prices were better for many descriptions of coal. Another point why it was important to get that coal to Cardiff was that it had been proved on previous occasions that the dry coals which were found at the top of the Rhondda and in many parts of Glamorgan were improved by mixing with the bituminous coal from the Monmouthshire district. This was one of the principal reasons why Parliament was asked for powers to make a railway from Newport to Caerphilly-a railway which he saw it was pro- posed to extend to Mountain Ash, so as to ac- commodate the collieries of the Aberdare Valley. If the Glamorgan coal was wanted at Newport to mix with the Monmouthshire coal, it would be desirable that the Monmouthshire coal should be, vice versa, brought into Cardiff. This was one of the principal features of the scheme. But ia addition to the coal there were the ironworks at Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, and Sirhowy, where vast Quantities of iron ore were consumed. He was told that at present the whole of that had to be sent to Newport because the difference in the rate to Cardiff was Is 2d per ton. If such a line as this were made, a considerable portion of the iron ore would be sent through Cardiff and over this line. Than, again, it was the intention of the promo- ters that the Cardiff and Risca line should termin- ate at the siding adjoining Lord Bute's new dock, where it was proposed by his lordship to form a large timber pond. They were all aware how much the timber trade of Cardiff had been retarded in the past by the want of such accom- modation, and the probability was that not only would large quantities of timber from the Mon- mouthshire valleys be sent over the proposed line here, but the Cardiff and Monmouthshire Valleys Railway would be the means through the proposed West if England and Suuth Wales Railway of bringing timber here from the Midlands. The population of the distri{,t through which the Cardiff and Mon- mouthshire Valleys Railway would pass was 60,000 or 70.000 in number, At present with the accommodation which now existed the passenger trains were so arranged that it was almost im- possible for any of these people to get tc Cardiff and do any ordinary business. For instance, the other day he had to go to Risca on business con- nected with this bill. It was particularly im- portant that he should get back early to Cardiff, but by the train he came he had to wait no less than three hours and a half at Newport, on a journey of what would be by this bill a distance of 12 miles. Tins was a matter which affected everybody in Cardiff, because if Cardiff had a share of the custom of the large popula- tions of theae villages, it could not be but of importance to the tradesmen and inhabitants generally. Recognising the merits of the scheme before the meeting—the engineering details of which would be spoken to by Mr Sutherland— he hoped it would be supported by the inhabitants generally as well as by the freighters of Cardiff. The undertaking had been brought into its pre- sent state, and plans had ben prepared by a very few gentlemen, whose means would not allow them to carry it through Parliament unaided, and the scheme WAS now submitted to the public in the hopes that the public would come forward and support it. Upon two grounds he hoped that the promoters would not be disappointed in this :—In the first place the scheme was one in which all having the interests of Cardiff at heart could assist, and it would be found a very good movement by people who had some surplus capital to invest. It was, continued Mr Corbett, unnecessary to recall to the minds of those present the dividends paid by the Taff Vale and the Rhymney Railway Companies, but he assured those present that the Cardiff and Mon- mouthshire Valleys Railway would have at its back a mineral district considerably exceeding that of the Rhymney Rail- way, and comparing very favourably with that of the Taff Vale. When they had large docks at one end, and an extensive mineral district at the other, it stood to reason that the railway must be used for that most profitable of all railway traffic; and when in addition there in every probability of a large quantity of general merchandise passing over it, and a heavy passen- ger traffic, he believed they would be justified in assuming that the line would be a profitable one. The gradients of the proposed Cardiff and Risca line were exceedingly favourable, in every in- stance, with the load, and in no case so as to be at all objectionable in working the traffic. The engineer would explain the details of such mat- ters, but he (Mr Corbett) desired to call attention to the fact that the proposed line would unite with the Great Wes- tern system at Risca, with the London and North-Western at Nine Mile Point, and run direct to the top of Lord Bute's new dock, where there would be ample siding accommodation. The present railways from the junction of the Great Western at the top of the East Dock would none of them compare with this one, if it were carried out in the way proposed, for regularity and des- patch of its mineral traiiic. In conclusion, Mr Corbett said the public were now asked to sub- scribe towards the expense of carrying the bill through Parliament, on the understanding that every subscription ¡.¡hould be taken as a payment of five per cent. on the amount of the shares to be ultimately obtained that the subscribers should incur no liability beyond the amount they signed for; and that they should have the privilege of taking shares representing that amount. (Applause.) Mr Sutherland, the engineer of the proposed Cardiff and Risca line, described the engineering features as the best afforded by the country. In this district, of all others, a line to Cardiff was wanted, and the collieries—those collieries now being sunk, and about to be sunk—should induce anyone who desired t.) invest in railways to eM. bark in this enterprise early, and thus reap the benefits which would fall to shareholders of a line carrying coal to Cardiff in such quantitie. as this would, with favourable gradients. Besides tlm coal, however, there were the ironworks at Tredegar, Ebbw Vale and Nantyglo, from which a large portion of the manufactured goods would be sent to Cardiff. Why should not Cardiff build its own iron ships ? Why should it not obtain the plates from these works ? Why should recourse e had to the North of England when the mate; ials were there ? Proceeding to describe the line, he said This impoitant line from Cardiff to the Monmouthshire Valleys I shall be happy to describe to yuu, from the engineering pomt of view, by stating that it commences by a junction with the authorised railways of last session in connection with the Bute Docks, south of the Tharsis Copper Works, and goes in the direction of its destination for a mile and a quar- ter perfectly level, and from that point ascends on a gradient of 1 in 200 in order to get over the Great Western Railway by a bridge near the Heath Brick Works that are situated about a quarter of a mile on the Cardiff side of the bridge that carries the public road over the Rumney River — thence it continues level for a distance of 1 mile, where the gradient again ascends at the same excellent and favourable rate of inclination of 1 in 200 for 13 chains, thence the level is again obtained,as you may observe by the section, to get over the parish road at the proper height where it cr08868 Nant Glan Dulas brook for a distance of half a mile. The gradient from this point continues rising at 1 in 200 until the distance of nearly 10 miles is reached by Llanedarne Church and bridge, where I have shewn the line's level for nearly a quarter of a mile to meet the very considerate wishes for the public good expressed by one of the largest land proprietors on the entire route for a station. Thence the same moderate gra- dient of one in 200 is obtained to the entrance of the tuunel, which is to be per-fectly level throu¡;h the mountain for its whole length of one mile and ID wbiç4 i8. I BEII^VFTI CW&POBED « £ the best natural stratification for the purpose of cutting and forming the tunnel—viz., the old red sandstone. The line continues level for a distance of 10 chains beyond the termination of tho tunnel, and descends to its junction with the Monmouthshire railway near Risca station, at a gradient of 1 in 150. You will observe with satis- faction that the rradients are first-rate, and all in favour of the j jad, on Railway No. 1, which is 10 miles and 33 chains in length. Railway No. 2 is a short branch, to connect our main line with the Great Western Railway at Pengam crossing, for conveying passengers and goods to and from their Cardiff station. Railway No. 3 is a short branch to join the Brecon and Merthyr Railway at Church-road station. Railway No. 4 is a branch of not less than a mile in length, to connect our system with the Brecon and Mer- thyr Railway two miles from Bassalleg, where it is proposed this session that a railway bill should be obtained to connect the Midland and London and North-Western Railways with South Wales. If powers are obtained for the last-mentioned line, the trains of those companies would run over our line to Cardiff, which would then be placed in the first position as to railway commu- nication. Railway No. 5 commences at Scliaurs, beyond the terminus of the tunnel near Ponty- mister Tin Works, and is level for a distance of 62 chains where it crosses under the long bridge once used to carry a tramway across the Ebbw river. A few chains further on it passes under the nine- mile point branch at Risca. The gradient for this portion of the line is 1 in 102'91 to the London and South Wales Colliery, in the parish of Mynyddislwyn, and from there to its termination by a junction with the Sirhowy branch of the London and North-Western Railway the gradient is 1 in 123'67, and the length 3 miles 55 chains. The EX-MAYOE of Cardiff (Mr Alfred Thomas) moved a resolution expressing approval of the scheme for the proposed railway. lie remarked that it was many years since Cardiff had had a railway scheme before it which would tend to bring trade to Cardiff. They had had many schemes for diverting the trade some of these-notably the Newport and Caerphilly, and the Rhondda and Swansea Bay, had been passed. From the latter they had not much to fear, but the line now in course of construction from Newport to the Rhondda Valley would have a more damaging effect. But there was another scheme before which the Newport and Rhondda paled into insignifi- cance—he meant the Barry Railway and Dock scheme—for the Barry Railway, as proposed, would tap the Rhondda all the way along. A scheme such as that before the meeting should meet with hearty approval in Cardiff, if only in self-defence. He was glad to find that in constructing this rail- way they were entering into a new field as far as Cardiff was concerned, for that great portion of the South Wales coal field which was to be tra- versed by the Cardiff and Risca line as proposed was at present practically shut out from Cardiff. By the new line the distance to Cardiff would be shortened; the Monmouthshire colliery proprietors would be advantaged by having direct access to Cardiff, which, as regards rates, would then be very much in the same position as Newport. The steam-coal of Monmouthshire had not been developed, or only developed to a very small extent. It was steam-coal of a very good character, though not quite so good as the Rhondda coal. This traffic would pass over the new line, which would also convey iron only from Cardiff-a port which would then be in a better position as regards iron ore than Newport itself. For the convenience of the passenger traffic the new line was available, and in the matter of the import of timber the proposed line would be an advantage to Cardiff, because of the improved opportunities it would afford for the conveyance of goods inland through its connec- tion with the West of England and South Wales Railway. Were these lines to be con- nected, a danger which appeared to be menacing Cardiff would be averted. (Applause.) Mr ADAMS seconded the resolution. He spoke of the line as one which would be of great benefit to Cardiff. Pretty nearly forty years ago a line of this kind was projected, but then the time had not come for it. Now the time had come. and he had no doubt but that the project would be carried out. A large quantity of Monmouthshire coal was brought into Cardiff now, but a very much greater quantity would be brought into it if this new line were made, and the mixture of coals would be beneficial. At present the iron- works at the head of the Monmouthshire Valleys were pledged to Newport owing to the railway charges, but the new line would altor this, and he believed that we should yet see blast furnaces by the side of the Rumney near its junction with the Severn-near this proposed line, and within a very short distance of Cardiff docks. The coalfields of Monmouthshire were being opened up—some of it was soaroely touched—and though, of course, all the increased output would not be sent to Cardiff, a good deal of it would. (Applause.) Mr J. A. COKBETT read a letter which had been received from Mr William Thomas Lewis, in which that gentleman said, after regretting his inability to be present For the reasons so correctly set forth in your letter, and for others which might be stated, there can be no doubt as to the advantages that would accrue to the dis- trict, and more especially to Cardiff, by the con- struction of such a line as you propose and I shall be very much surprised if the iron and steel makers and the colliery owners in Monmouthshire at one end, and the people of Cardiff at the other, do not take the matter up in such a manner as to ensure you and the promoters success in carrying your bill during the next session." In answer to questions, Mr Corbett said the line would cost JE500,000, to include everything, at a rough esti- mate, and this would require the creation of a share capital of £ 350,000, with the usual borrow- ing powers. The lineinixht have been laid out in a cheaper style, but it was considered desirable to lay out a little more money in the tirt. place, which would be amply repaid in the working of the line afterward.-?. (Applause.) The resolution was put to the meeting, and agreed to. Mr E. R. MOXEY stated that Mr John Cory and Mr Richard Cory were out of town, ele he was sure they would have had great pleasure in expressing their agreement with the resolution just arrived at. There could be no question of the desirability of this railway, which would bene- fit the port of Cardiff, and he did not think there was any reason to be alarmed at the numerous proposals for the construction of docks and rail- ways at Cardiff and vicinity. (Applause.) He proposed the formation of a committee for the furtherance of the project. Mr CHARLES TnuAHfaoN seconded the proposal, and An influential working committee was appointed by the meeting. Mr LEWIS WILLIAMS, in proposing a vote of thanks to the mayor for presiding, remarked that he did not think the town of Newport would have any cause to complain that Car- diff had given her a Roland for an Oliver. Attention had been drawn to the exports of Cardiff, but he thought that consider- able stress should be laid npon the value of the imports of Cardiff to this line. Prior to the iron trade collapse in 1873 we were importing 200,000 tons of iron ore in the year. Then came the failures. But out of the ruins of the iron trade arose, Phcenix like, the nobler industry—the steel trade—and last year 500,000 tons of iron ore were imported into Cardiff. And to this as the in- dustry ef the future the promoters should turn attention. No doubt we would have the dock at Barry, but if this railway were constructed it would compensate for what Barry would take from Cardiff. (Applause.) Mr GKIFFITH seconded the vote of thanks to the mayor, which was agreed to. In replying, the Mayor said that, though he could not say it officially, he felt confident that the promoters would have. the assistance of the council. The proceedings shortly afterwards terminated.
