THE MURDER OF COLONEL STISWAltT. [EEUTBU'S TSiMaitAM.] ALEXANDRA, Tuesday,—The hired trtmsports Deccan and Australia have arrived here, The c unel corps has disembarked, and proceed up the Nile as soon as the necessary mea-ns of transport are provided, CAIKO, Tuesday, 8.20 p.m.—•'Telegraphic com- munication above Assiout is interrupted, DOSGOLA, Tuesday,—To-day, from the Sarras torrniuus of the Soudan Railway, Capt. of the Mounted Infantry, with details for the regi- ments, arrived here in a nuggar. He made the passage in ten days, a distance of 200 miles. The Tanguar cataract, 50 miles from Sarraa, is the most difficult, and is impassable without towing, which from the banks is impracticable. From Erish to Dabbeli the natives are friendly. Don- gola is garrisoned by 600 men of the Sussex Regiment and 1,000 blacks. Uommissariat stores are arriving rapidly. [SPECIAi TELEGRAMS. ] CAIRO, Tuesday.—The reported murder of Col. Stewart is now generally credited, and has created a great sensation. It is stated that the gallant officer brought 10 vessels from Khartoum, and from these bombarded Berber, as has already been described. After the flight of the rebels from the town, Col. Stewart inspected the place, and then loft, sending nine of his ships to Khar- toum, and proceeding down the river himself in the remaining*vessel. Consul Herbin came north- ward with Col. Stewart, the crew and passengers in the craft numbering 40 altogether. It is to- day asserted that Consul Herbiu is among those who were killed by the rebels atter the steamer grounded. Further and definite details are anxiously looked for here. The Press Association says :—Colonel Stewart was, we are informed, within about a camel's ride of Merawi when he was assassinated. There is now little doubt that the gallant colonel left his steamer trusting to the good faith of the Bedouin Chief to conduct him to Merawi. All Colonel Stewart's party, numbering, perhaps, over 100, seem to have met, the fate of their leader. Having considerable private means, Colonel Stewart's work in the Soudan was of more importance; and as he had travelled all over the continent and spent several months at Khartoum, he was well acquainted with the characteristics of the Soudan and its inhabitants. The deceased officer was nn- married. The Central News, telegraphing on Tuesday evening, says :—Up to this evening the Govern- ment have received no further news respecting the fate of Colonel Stewart. His brother called at the Foreign Office to-day to ask for definite information concerning the colonel, but beyond the recapitulation of the news already published, the authorities were unable to tell him anything. Lord Wolseley is, however,, sending up messen- gers, and pushing up to the scene of the reported massacre. The authorities of the War Office and the Foreign Office are alike deeply interested in the matter, and no effort will be spared to obtain speedy and authentic information. Our Dublin correspondent telegraphsCol. Stewart was the owner of considerable property in Ulster, and his family are well known in Ireland. He was the eldest son of Mr John Stewart, nephew of the first John Stewart, who was Attorney-General for Ireland at the time of the union. Col. Stewart obtained a commission without purchase in the 11th Hussars in recogniti n of his high answering at Sandhurst. Since his military career commenced he has dis- tinguished himself on many occasions. He was for some years employed by Lord Beaconsfi eld's Government in assisting Lord Dufforiu at Con- stantinople.

MURDER OF A FRENCH CONSUL IN THE SOUDAN. [KEUTER'S TELEGRAM. J PAUIS, Tuesday.—A telegram from Cairo of to- day's date states that M. Barrere yesterday re- ceived a despatch announcing that M. Herbin, the French Consul at Khartoum, was killed at the same time as Colonel Stewart.

[BEUTER'S TELEGRAM.] CAIRO, Tday. — It is understood Lord Northbrook has proposed the complete abolition of the Egyptian army, which is to be replaced by a police force, consisting of 9,000 men. The Egyptian Ministry is believed to be opposed to this proposal,

BOMB EXPLOSION IN LYONB, [REUTKR'S TELEGRAM.] LYONS, Tuesday,—An explosion occurred last night in the Rue St. Fraugois de Sales, situated in the Belle Cour quarter of this city. A bomb had been placed on a window-sill outside the Gendarmery Barracks, the windows of which were shattered by the explosion. The wall of the building also sustained some damage. The infernal machine, which was about the size of an ordinary playing ball, was composed of a copper shell, covered with a network of wire, and was filed with gunpowder and pieces of iron, several of which entered the paymaster's quarters. The latter was; however, fortunately absent. An inquiry has besii opened with regard to the outrage, but the perpetrator of it is unknown, There was no loss of life.

A NEUTRAL MERIDIAN. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] WASHINGTON, Tuesday.—L'n yesterday's sitting of the International Primo Meridian Conference, Mr Jansen argued in favour of the adoption of a neutral meridian and suggested that the prime meridian should run either through Behring Straits or through one of the Azores. The con- ference ultimately adjourned, on the understand- ing that it might be oonvened again at twenty- four previous notice.

THE FRANCHISE AGITATION. MR CHAMBERLAIN ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS, HANLBY, Tuesday Night.—Mr Chamberlain addressed a lar^e public meeting at Haniey to-nierht, which was held in connection with tha assembling of the National Liberal Federation in the Potteries. The meeting took place at the Imperial Mission Hall, about 4,000 persons being present. The proceedings were of a very enthusiastic character. The chair was taken by Mr J. Nash Peake, president of the Stoke Liberal Couneil, who was supported by Mr Broadhurst, M.P.; Mr Craig, M.P.; Mr Jesse Collings. M.P.; Mr A. IUing- worth, M.P. Mr Mclntyre, M.P. j Mr Kitson, president of the National Liberal Federation, &c. Mr Cnamberlain's appearance on the plat- form was the signal for repeated cheering, After some introductory remarks from tho Chairman, Mr KITSON moved, and Mr JAMES STUART, of Hull, seconded, a resolution of welcome to Mr Chamberlain, and through him assured Mr Glad- stone and tho Government of the unabated con- fidence and support of the meeting. The resolution having been carried unanimously, Mr CHAMBERLAIN roso to speak, and was very loudly cheered* Ha said he should be very un- grateful if he did not take the first opportunity of acknowledginghis reception in the Potteries. Public life had many anxieties, but they were compen- sated for by such meetings as that, because they were a sure aud certain presage of the victory which they all expected. (Cheers.) There was no mistaking the signs of the times. The battle had begun, and justice must be done to the two millions of capable citizotis who were now excluded from the franchise. (Cheers.) If the controversy was much prolonged he thought that other matters besides a restricted franchise would be brought to the fore. (Cheors.) At regular intervals the country was stirred by some sudden impulse, and in the present instance, as in other cases, there was an unmistakeable expression of the nation's will. IL-heers.) There was an unmistakeable expression of opinion when the country relieved itself of the cynicai influence of Lord Beaconsfield. The same thing occurred when Mr Plimsoll raised the voice of the nation in favour of the adoption of means to prevent the loss of life at sea, which was supposed to be a necessity of commercial enterprise. That subject had a great interest for him, as they probably knew, and he believed that one of the first results of a reform of Parlia- ment and of the House of Commons being made the representation of the voice of the whole nation one of the first results would be that the House would not rest until it had overriden tha selfish calumny that it was necessary for a great trade to descend to a practice which tended directly to fc!.JL (Cheers-) The agitation in which rsetnr A was assuming a similar cha- ind aii ui I wave had passed over the country, •^d .8'1(4we,d, n« s,&ns of stopping. Yesterday it was m Scotland to day it was in the Midland distnct, and to-morrow it would be found in. Wales. It was a real uprising of the people, and nota mere party agitation. (Cheers.) He was glad to see the way in which the trades' union and friendly societies joined in the meeting yea- terday, which, to his mind, proved the accuracy of his assertion, and showed, however much their opponents endeavoured to wriggle out of the position, they were simply uniting themselves m a struggle with the peers against the people. (Cheers.) They were, in other words, supporting privilege against popular rights, and meanwhile every day the-movement in favour of the extension of the suffrage was growing, y ?6!?' "7 u ,e, Ijr0sent time the suuporters of the bill had held five times as many meeting as their opponents, and they had been ten times as numerously attended. (Cheers.) The meet- ings held in favour of the bill had been generally open ones, but they did- not know of a siugle case in which their op- ponents had held an open meeting during the course of this agitation, except one at Darlington, course of this agitation, except one at Darlington, where they were defeated by a large majority, and then at Bournemouth, where they attempted a procession, which was inconveniently broken up. (Laughter.) They were taunted by their opponents with legislation by picnic, but it ap- peared to them that on the other side they were seeing a very large number of Saturday ffites personally conducted" by noble lords and others of the Tory party. (Laughter) At these gatherings the people were entertained by negro melodists, tight-rope dancers, jugglers, and fireworks. (Laughter.) Well, it was not the first time the Tory party had been saved by juggling and fireworks-(renewed lighter)-and he thought these great landlords were much better occupied wnen they were opening their parks to the people than when they were taking the commons from them. (Loud cheers.) But these amusements were not serious political utisiness, and if their opponents thought they could bribe the working classes to be traitors to their order with cakes and ale, and that they would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, they would bo dismally deceived. (Cheers and laughter.) He asked how long this effervescence was to last, because it was rapidly raising a feeling of irritation. These demonstra- tions were only held at great inconvenience and personal sacrifice, and as the summer went away and the winter came, the sac* ifice increased. The longer their rights were deferred, the greater would bethequestlon what compensation they were to have from the peers. (Hear, hear.) A van- quished nation generally paid an indemnity to the victors, and he should not be surprised if an indemnity were asked from the House of Lords if the contest which thev had wantonly provoked were prolonged. (Hear, hear.) The best exer- tions of the Liberal paroy, however, it was said, had not been altogether thrown away, for they were told that in three months the claims of those who sought the suifrage had been acknow- ledged on all sides. The Tories in that space of time had been converted to a principle which they had hitherto opposed, lut these prodigals had not yet deserved the fatced calf, although they had abandoned the husks upon which they formerly fed. (Laughter.) If the Tories—and they said they did—" trusted the people," they had a very curious way of showing their confidence. TIley asked the people to go to the old establishment where the repairs of the constitution were speedily aud promptly executed, but before they went there and gave the.r orders to these politicians out of employment, he advised them to inquire into their euaracoers and caH upon them to produce some ot their tes- timonials. (Laughter.) He would refer to oua or two of these gentlemen, and first to Sir Staf- ford Northcote. (Groans.) He would a k them not to groan at Sir Stafford, because all he would say of him was tha.t he h d managed to lead the Conservatives for a good long time without being in harmony with them either as to opinion or method. (Laughter.) But Sir Stafford ISortncote lost his temper at Nostell Priory, and went so far as to accuse his opponents of telling untruths because they denied that the Tories were favourable to the extension ot the franchise. But Sir Stafford had not so long ago expressed his opinion adversedly to the pro- posed extension. Sir Richard Gross had taken a similar view, and coming to the leader of the party, Lord Salisbury, they knew what course he took in 1867 on the Reform Bill ot Mr Disraeli. (A voice: Give it him, Joe," and laughter.) Mr W. H. Smith, Mr Kaikes, and Sir Robert Peel had all expressed similar views, and then he came to Mr Jas. Lowther, and it was a pleasure to refer to that gentleman. (Laughter.) If Diogenes Were ali and w„uM put out his lantern, he would say he had found an honest man. (Renewed laughter.) Mr Lowther said what he meant, and he was the only member of his par.y who had that courage. In May last Mr Lowther said emphatically that he opposed the bill, root and brauch, and; would take every opportunity of voting against it. (A voice, Well said, JelllillY."1 And, finally, Lord Ran lolph Onurchill-(groans) —who shared the leadership „f tile Conservative party with Lord Salisbury iu 188J declared the extension of the franchise to be uucailed-for, pre- mature, inexpedient, and, therefore, highly dangerous. He kuew that Lord Randolph Churchill recanted that speech, but he had re- cently at Leeds recanted his recantation. (Laughter.) H-e, however, was quite willing to accept all these tardy conversions, if the Tory party would only allow them to pass the bill but when they were in league to prevent the measure becoming law, wnen they were joining with the House of Lords to retard its progress in every way, he could not place confidence in them, and was even dnvento the conclusion that a Ulan convinced against his willIS of the same opinion still. (Cheers and laughter.) lÚ believed the Tory party hated the extension oi the franchise from the same point of view they had always regarded it, and that they were clutching at every point which would delay an act of justice being done. (Gheers.) Every pretext had been resorted to, but it must be clear to everyone that tne o„ry tor redistribution was not a straightforward 01 3, because the Liberals were far iiiors interested m that question than their opponents were. (Hear. hear.) The Liberal party did not like the redistribution scheme of 1867, which the lory party carried, and they had ever since looked forward to an opportunity of re- moving the anomalies. which were then passed. (Hear, hear.) ^u connection with this present bill Mr «*a<dstoue had offered guarantees on the subject of redistribution which 110 minister had ever before proposed. If the Tory party, tnarefoio, were so anxious for a redistribution scheme, why did they not hasten to give the franchise to the two inillio!ls who were so anxious to have it? (Oheers.) In the earlier part of the-autumn he was inclined to think that there would be a settlement of the question, and that a compromise might be arrived at. In fact, from the tone taken, he was inclined to say, Almost thou per- suadeth me to be a Tory," (Laughter.) All this, however, had been dispelled, for what had since occurred? Lord Salis.juj-y evidently had the fear of the uroan population. He was afraid that they would contaminate the sweet simplicity of the countv voters. (Laughter.) He would have the two divided—the on one side and the sheep on the other. (Renewed laughter.) The scheme which Lord Salisbury proposed, however, was one of the most "jerry- mandering" proposals ever made to Englishmen, and would simply be the means of allowing the minority to rule. (Hear, hear.) Lord Salisbury was in favour of minorities, but to allow them to be represented as proposed Would simply allow crotchets to prevail, tor such representatives confused great issues, uehedthe party of progress, and placed the Government of the country en- tirely in the lianas tne party of privilege, (Cheers.) 'Ihe Liberal paity were struggling for their lives against the minority, and they could not admitauotlierplausibie tlevjce which would inter- fere with popular rights and popular government. (Cheers.) To sum up the situation, There were two millions of capable citizens whose rights were acknowledged, and whose claims would be secure but for the action of the House of Lords. (Cheers.) A majority of 59 peers had delayed the granting of those ri(?h«s, and might again stand in the breach and defend the Tory fortress against the onward march of two millions of men. That was no doubt a very brave proceeding, but was it not also very rash for 59 almost unknown indi- viduals to take up such a position? (Cheers.) At any rate, he did not believe that the two millions would-go to the wall. (Oue.»rs and laughter.) He could sympathise those who honestly complained of the democratic tendency of the age, but he could not respect those who, with fulsome professions of regard for the men to be enfranchised, were all the time endeavouring to defraud them of their rights. (Cheers.) He believed they presumed on public patience, but it that presumption were carried too far, public prohibition and courage would be stirred, the injustice which was being perpetrated would be removed, and the puny obstacles which wer,, now barring the advanc- ing tide would be swept away. (Loud cheers.) He had been told by Mr iirth, the member for Chel- sea, that bees had three estates. There wa-i the Queen, who was honoured and respected by all her subjects; then there were the drones; and there were also the working classes. The drones had an idle life. They imled not, iii they spin but when the w,'rK""ig bees were preparing for tne winter, a tragic ending came to the drones, for the supplies were cut off from those lazy parasites, who met with a »witc and ignoniinous doath. (Laughter.) He recommended that story to Lord Carnarvon and other peers, and would leuve them to m-ka their own comparisons. (More l«'!g-h*««•.) Well, Hwr-i had been ru- mours of a compromise in the a r. (Cries, We will have the whole Bill,") j The Tory papers were seetn .ig to think that tho leaders were barking down, but he advised them not to reckon on titat. Their opponents were trying to secure their chickens before they were hatched. (A laugh.) Lord Salisbury demanded that the bills should be passed simultaneously, and inferred that unless the Redistribution Bill were introduced and proved to be satisfactory he would not allow the Franchise Bill to proceed, and would endeavour to force a dissolution. To yield one inch to such an arrogant proposal would be, not a compromise, but a surrender, and they knew Mr Gladstone was not a man who, having put his hand to the plough, would turn back. (Cheers.) Well, then, was any settlement possible? He did not say it was not. It de" pended whether the question which divided them from their opponents was oue of principle or procedure. With Lord Salisbury it was a Question of principle, and as long as he maintained his present position, transactions with him were impossible. (Hear, hear.) But there might be many Tories in the ranks willing to assist in a compromise, and who would be willing to have a fair scheme submitted to them apart from any ingenious service to manipulate constituencies in the interest of any particular party. (Hear, hear.) To'such a desire as that every attention should be paid and would be paid by the- Government, but the prime condition must be that the Franchise Bill should pass. (Loud cheers.) They could not play with the rights of two mill ions they could not tamper with hopes which had been ex- cited and if the Lords would not give way the people would not submit. (Cheers.) They were in favour of the government of the people and government for tbe people. They grudged the Lords nothing which belonged to them nothing which they could enjoy without injury to others, their rank and title, their stars and garters. (Laughter.) But there was no magic in rank or title which was potent enough to prevent the people from having what was their own. (Loud and repeated cheers.) Subsequently, addressing a crowded overflow meeting at the Tontine Circus, Mr Chamberlain denied that the House of Lords was independent. On the contrary, the House of Lords had become, so far as its majortiy was concerned, a mere branch of the Tory caucus, a mere instru- ment of the Tory organisation. He thought that the Liberals had been very patient with that institution, not only the Liberal party but also the country had suffered often by the past action of the Lords. The condition of Ireland at the pre- sent time was largely due to the action of the Lords. He did not deny that under the consti- tution the Lords had legal rights, but they must exercise them with moderation. (Hear, hear.) A torchlight procession was afterwards formed, and accompanied Mr Chamberlain to Mr Woodall's residence, where he is staying.

DEMONS TRATION AT CARMARTHEN. IMPOSING PROCESSION. SPEECHES BY LORD KENSINGTON, M.P., SIR J. JONES JENKINS, M.P.. MESSRS HENRY RICHARD, M.P., MORGAN LLOYD, Q.C., M.P., W. R. 3. POWELL, M.P., LEWIS MORRIS, M.A., AND OTHERS. CARUAKTHBN, Tuesday.—The lovely weather of the past few days and also of to-day did much to ensure and to increase the very large attend- ance which had been expected at to-day's demon- stration ever since the event was announced. The affair was taken up with a great deal of enthusiasm in all the districts of the county, and the idea of giving the inhabitants of Carmarthen- shire an opportunity of speaking in one united voice 011 the subject of the present political crisis was generally regarded as an excellent one. Special trains were run on the Great Western Railway from all districts of the county served by that line, and cheap fares were granted on the Central Wales line, and a very large number of the country people came to town by road from the districts unserved by rail- ways. No certain information is available as to the exact number which visited the town, but something like 2,700 tickets were issued for the trains from the Llanelly district, about 1,200 from Whitland and the neighbourhood, and something approaching 1,000 from Llandovery and inter- vening places. Many of the places of business in town were closed, and most of the employers of labour suspended work for to-day:s event. The organising committee, with Mr J. F. Morris, its hon, secretary, met on the Parade at 1.30, in order to arrange the procession. The Liberals of the town, and those of the visitors who had ar- rived in town, also gathered on the Parade at that time, and on the arrival of the later trains the order of procession was formed as follows:— Mr Marks' Brass Band. Bearer of Blue Flag. Members of Parliament with the Demonstration Com- mittee and the Kxeuutive of the Llanelly Liberal Association. Dissenting Ministers of Town, and County. Glogue Brass Band. Bearer cof Banner. Residents of IJanboidy and district. Llanelly Brass Band. Bearer or Banner. Residents of l.tineily and district. Llaudilo Brass Baud. Bearer of Banner. Residents of Llandilo and district. Kidwelly Brass Band. Bearer of B«fn:ier. Residents, f Kidwelly and district. The route of procession lay along the East Parade, through the New-ioad into Priory-street (where the processionists were joined by a body of 140 horsemen, who brought up the rear), and thence through King-street, Guildhall-Square, Lammas-street, to the Fusiliers' Monument, Water-street, and back through Catherine-street to Alderman Norton's field (adjoining the cattle market), where a large stage had been erected. A large number of the public men of the town and country, with several ladies, occupied the plat- form, while the audience, which could not have numbered less than 5,000, and probably was nearer 6,000 persons, was conveniently ranged in a semi-circle around the platform, the banners and bannerets which were a conspicuous feature in the procession forming a background. The following are a few of the very numerous mottoes and devices which were carried iu the procession:—" Have faith in the People." Clear's Corporation," ReslJect Law, not Privi- lege," "Away with Privilege," "The People shall be heard," A Vote for the Country as weU as tho Town," "The Peers or the People; which?' Among the more striking of the devices were several with black edges and other emhlems oi mourning, the inscription on one, which bore a ClImn, with the date 1-884, being The House of Lords Requiescat." On another, shaped as a coffin-plate—"In memory of the House of Lords," and on a third The Funeral March of the House of Lords." After the chairman and ti e members of Parlia- ment had taken their seats on the platform, and before the speaking commenced, the group was photographed by Mr Henry HowelL The choice of a chairman was an exceedingly happy one, that office being filled by MrD. Pugh, of Manoravon, who formerly s&t for this county in the House gf Commons. In rising to open the proceedings, The CHAIRMAN was received in a very hearty manner. He said he had one regret in occupying that position, namely, that the honour of pre- siding over that magnificent meeting had not fallen into abler hands. They were there to sup- port the enfranchisement of two millions of householders in counties, who were shortly to be placed on a level with their brethren in the towns. (Loud applause.) The working classes were the strength of the country in peace and war, and they deserved their enfranchisement as a reward for their worth and their services to the country. (Cheers.) The country were united in demanding the franchise, and if they went out with a candle like Diogenes to look for a man opposed to the Fran- chise Bill,they would not find one. (Laughter and cheers.) They were all united in the matter, and there was 110 reason why the measure should be delayed. (Applause.) Mr W. R. H. PowiSLL, M.P., who was received with loud and continued applause, moved the first resolution, which was; as follnws — That thits meetin¡( expresses its unabated confidencocJ in the present Government, congratulates tlieni 011 having .;arrietl the Franchise Bill through the HOU:<6 of Commons, anti 011 their decision t" call an autumn session for the purpose of again considering the bill, and trusts that Afr Gladstone wiH not consent to a dissolution of Parliament uutil the bill has become law, this meeting being of opinion,that the power of dissolving Parliament rests solely in the Crown to he exercised by the advice of the executive Government, and not by the dictation of the House t f Lords. The hon member said the demonstration of that day was worthy of the cause they had come to uphold, and he was delighted to meet them as one of their representatives. In refer- ring to his conduct in the Houso during the past session, Mr Powell inciden- tally mentioned that of the 25 divisions in the earlier "stages of the Franchise Bill he was present a 23. The bill was a great and kng-withheld measure of justice to the working classes, in whose good sense and patriotism the Liberal party had every reliance. (Cheers.) They could not see why a man should be a worse citizen and a less desirable subject because he was admitted to the exercise of an undoubted right. In that connection he would remark that an influential journal circulating in those western counties had thought right to charge him with having dis- played a want of charity towards his political opponents in the speech which he trade at C wmaminan the other day. No public man could object to fair criticism, but he was bound to say that the Wester a Mail had made a charge against him which was wholly unsupported by the facts of the case. When he stated that Lord Randolph Churchill's views on the subject of the county franchise hail undergone a remarkable metamorphosis during the passage of the bill through the House of Commons, he stated what was an historical fp-ct. He did not blame Lord Randolph for his insight into futurity and his boldness in declaring the change in his convic- tions so far from doing so, he (Mr Powell) was sanguine enough to hupe that the day might not be distant when he would be found devoting his undoubted talent in a nobler mission than the bolstering up of exploded Tory notions. (Cheers.) Lord Randolph had done much good in his day aud generation, and would do still more when he told his order that they would best consult their own interest by joining their fellow subjects in the recognition of the fundamental principle of the greatest good for the greatest number. If the Cardiff print which had called him (Mr Powell) to account would only exert its influence to bring about a thorough good feeling among all classes of the people by the extirpation of intolerance and the spirit of ascendancy, it would assist in the great work which the Liberal party had set themselves to do and which they meant to accomplish altogether, irre- spective of forebodings and croakings about in- calculable evils in the future.( Loud and continued applause.) In his concluding remarks, Mr Powell pointed out some of the anomalies of the present system of representation, and said that the cor- rection of these and other matters to be dealt with in the Redistribution Bill made it impossible to discuss that measure and the franchise in the same session. As to the future, he anticipated that by the time Parliament again assembled the Peers would have learned that the paths of justice and moderation were also the paths of safety. (Loud applause.) Meanwhile the Liberal party, which mig-ht be saId to have mherlted the accom- plishment of the great work of human progress, would not be diverted from its purpose, and he knew that Wales would continue to occupy a foremost place in the great struggle for the rights and liberties cf the people. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Sir J. JONES JEKKTNfI, M.P., who was received with applause, seconded the motion, and said that when they considered the magnitude of the Frau- chise Bill it was not surprising th it it was exciting such interest all over the country. The Conser- vatives expressed a great desire for the extension of the franchise, but they could not accept such professions when they considered the action of that party. (Hear, hear.) As to the future action of the Conservative party, the Peers could only retrace their steps by acknowledging th -ir mistake and deserting Lord Saiis; >ury again, as they had done before, and by following the dic- tates of their own judgment and good sense. Lord Salisbury had, hoA-ever, taken care to put his case clearly, so as to strengthen the waverers or shame them from deserti.ig J¡:m, and he had told thriin that if they receded now they would only possess a merely" empty power," and be held in undisguised contempt. If the Peers did not yield, t.he ie.ult would be that the House of Lords would eit ier be rt-voli hed, or hv ir::h f"bn ¡p":1'j)t1uePii ss -> 1 hut the voice of the people should be heard in that august assembly, (Cheers.) The motion was put and carried with a great shout of ayes" and cheers, just a few n as" being heard here and there. Lord KENSINGTON acknowledged tho vote 011 behalf of the Government. His lordship, who I spoke with difficulty in consequence of a severe cold, said he would not have tllisd the oppor- tunity of witnessing the grand scene which was before him that day, and he had some feelings of justifiable pride in having the honour of holding a subordinate position in her Majesty's Govern- ment, and iu the privilege of standing before them to acknowledge the vote of confidence which they had just passed, (Applause,) It was by votes at such meeting as those that the Govern- ment received the support which they had asked for and received, and which would enable them to carry the measure which they had at heart. (Cheers.) They would be glad to know that Wales was at tho back of the Government. (Re- newed applause.) Mr HNRY RICHARD, M.P., who was received with much enthusiasm, and who spoke first in Welsh and afterwards in English, moved the second resolution, as follows :— That this meeting records its emphatic protest against the action o. the II .use of Lords in declining to pass lie Franchise Bill, which affects only the representation of the people in the House of Commons, a'i. 1 w. hi.l wa passed in that House by over- whelming majorities of the people's representatives. In the course of his remarks the hon. gentle- man said he owed them a sort of apology for being present that day. (No, no.) He had no sort of connection in Carmarthenshire—(A voice You are the member for Wales")—but he ca'ine in obedience to the request of his hon. friends whom he so highly esteemed, and who so well represented them in the House of Commons— Mr Powell and Sir Jones Jenkins. (Loud applause.) They had two questions before them—the fate of the Franchise Bill and the fate of the House of Lords. The preliminary question, whether the people of England wanted the bill had been effectively answered by the hundreds of thousands who had assembled all over the country to demand the passiug of the bill. (Cheers.) The House of Lords had raised questions which would not have been raised but for their action. They were now on their trial before the tribunal of the public opinion of the country,and not for the first time. The country had to consider not only the particular offence with which the peers were now chaiged, but the long series of previous offences from which the country had suffered grievously. There was a long list of previous convictions, but the country, acting in its judicial capacity, had hitherto returned the verdict which some wicked person once attributed to a Welsh jury, "Not guilty, but don't do it again." The country had been very long suffering with the House of Lords, but the time was coming, and m'ght already have arrived, when the ver- dict would be, t. Guily, upon my honour." There must be no compromising concessions. It would be a poor recompense to the people of the country for the travail which they had under- gone in bringing up such a body of opinion in support of the Government—it would be a poor requital if, after all, any step should be taken which would give them into the hands of Lord Salisbury. (Cheers.) His friend Lord Kensing- ton would take it as the message of the great meeting at Carmarthen to the Government, Stand fino; don't yield one step. Hold on, aud the millions of England aud Wales are at your backs." (Prolonged cheering.) Mr LEWIS MOBHIS, M.A., seconded the resolu- tion, and said that if he had missed seeing that magnificent,orderly, and representative assembly of Carmarthenshire men and women, he should have regretied it to his latest day. (Cheers.) He was a little more moderate than some people, and did not think that the funeral of the House of Lords had come just yet. It might come some day, but it had not come now. (A voice Another chance.") Just so; they had another chance. People had a considerable respect for English peers. There was not a mau living who would not feel gratified to walk down the street arm and arm with a peer. (Langht r.) That was stupid and unreasonable, no doubt, but it seemed to be human nature as at present constituted. (Renewed laughter.) Referring to the composition of the House of Peers, Mr Morris said the 44- Irish and Scotch representative peers were all and always extreme Tories, and he thought something should be done to neutralise their influence aud votes. In dealing with the political, social, and educational ad vantages which the franchise would enable the working classes to obtain for themselves, Mr Morris defined a Liberal as one who- cared for other people, and a Torv as-one who only cared for himself. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried without disseut. Mr MORGAN LLOTD, Q.C., M.P., who spoke entirely in Welsh, mowd the third resolution :— 1'hat the House of Lord" being for the m'3t part an hereditary chamber, has of late years put its.1! so much in opp Ritim to the wishes of the pea de, and to the progress ofhenetic;al legis atim, that thb meet- ing considers tha the time as arrived when soin. organk chmge should b; nude iu the constitution of that House, so as to king it into harmony with the principles of popular and representative government, and that such change should be mainly in the direc- tion ot p ting an end to hereditary succession as regards its legislative functions. The hon. member, wlw was very heartily reo ceived, said he was glad to find that the earnest- neM and erttllllsiasm in support of Mr Gladstone's Government which he had witnessed at crowded meetings in North Wales were equally manifest in that gn at assembly. (Cheers.) Her Majesty's G (1\ ernllJent had 1111 nioio faitluul 8ulJfJvrters in any part of the kingdom than in the Principality of Wales, and there was no part of the United Kingdom where Liberal principles were so triumphant and so much in the ascendant as at the present moment amongst their countrymen. (Cheers.) Most of tliein remembered the time when the majority of the Welsh members were Conservatives, and the history of the country for two centuries showed that whatever political changes might take pace in England and Scotland, the Welsh people had always remained faithful adh rents oi the Tory paity. Now what good had the Tories ever done to the people of Wales during their two cenLmies of dominion ? Could they point out lme single benefit which they had conferred upon the country during that period ? The Tory party could reckon upon the support of the great hou.-e-, and the great houses ordered their tenants to the poll, Thope days had gone hy, The Welsh people had asserted their independence, and even ,-the leaders of the Tory party now condescended to pay attention (,0 tlJem, (Laugh- ter and applause.) The attention with which they wore now honoured by the Tory leaders was not confined to the long-deferred visits of ex- Cabinet Ministers to Wales, but at the great meetings in Scotland one great leader spoke of the Welsh as a political peopJe, and deigned to answer a speech made by a Welsh member at Swansea while the other great leader suggested that Wales was over-represented with 15 borough members, whilst Glasgow had only two—a re- 1IIark, the significance ot which would be duly appreciated by the Welsh people, and taken as a warning of the fate Lord .Salisbury had in store for them. The Tories despaired of reducing the number of Liberal members for Wales except by a reduction of the number of seats. But Lord Salisbury would not succeed in that object, for as they had fought for their freedom so they would also fight for their electoral rights. (Loud cheers.) He appealed to them, the electors of Carmarthenshire, to accept Lord Salisbury's cliallenare, by not only returning tb.ir present excellent member, Mr Powell, at the head of the poll at the next general election, as they had done before, but by returning two Liberal members, and thus completing the Liberal representation ol South Wales. (Loud and Continued cheering.) in the present crisis was iu vol ved not only the question of the franchise, but alo the still more impoitant question whether a free people were to submit to the dictation of au hereditary and unrepresentative chamber which claimed to dic- tate terms to the nation, 'md to determine the tim wJwJI,and the circumstances under which, an appeal to the people is to to take place. Such a preposterous clailu was new in their history, Imt it it were allowed it would create a precedent dangerous to their liberties. (Cheers.) The diffi- culty haù, however, arisen not so much becau.e the House of Lords possessed power and privi- leges, but because the Tory party and the Tory leaders had a preponderating influence there, and resolved to abuse the powers and privileges con- ferred upon them by the constitu- tion to serve party purposes and to secure party ends. (Cheers.) The Tory Oppo- sition to the Franchise Bill was a disastrous, discreditable, and complete failure, (Loud ap- plause.) The struggle between the two parties was for power, and the Tory peers had shown themselves ready to risk the position of the House, to strain the constitution, and, if neces- sary, join hands with Mr Parneil in order to force a general election. Lord Salisbury's object was to turn out the Government, and he was un- scrupulous as to the means he employed. But he would not succeed in his object as the nation was not with him, and when the genera! election took place he would be driven to admit that it was so. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Alderman WAHUKN, J P., chairman of the demonstration committee, seconded the resolu- tion, which was carried enthusiastically. Mr W. DAVIKS, M.P., moved, and the Rev. JOHN JOXE-, Fehnfoel, seconded, the concluding resolution :— That this meeting xpresses its disappointment/witl1 the sluw progress malle by the House of Commolls in transacting the necessary busine s of the country, attributable in a great measure to the où-tructiun caused by the Oppositiun in availing themselves ot the forms of the H..use, which at present afford too great facilities for the hindrance of useful leeisiation. This meeting, thei efore, trusts Ihat her Majesty's Govern- mellt will make strenuous efforts to bring about such all alteration in procedure as will ensure tile proper carrying out of work of legislation, and pledges itself to use its undivided exertions to return to the next Parliament a colleague who will join Mr Powell ill supporting Liherallwinci le- and poHey, This having hem also agreed to, a most success- ful meeting was brought to a close with a vote of thanks to the chairman and to the orgmisers of the demonstration. Our Whitland correspondent writes — Never before in the history of this country has this dis- trict mustered in such strong force as it did on Tuesday to swell the Liberal numberless throng who attended the county demonstration at Car- marthen. The occasion is generally oelieved to have b8en even In.,rp. po1'n1ar than the assembling of the First Parliament in Whitland, "Yn yr Hen Dy Gwyn ar Dâ. (ill the Old White Hutwe on Tave). The Llangivdwen and Login eontin- genfcs..irrived by the 11_4-5 a.m. train, and having formed into a. procession at the >ltat"II1, marched through the principal streets, headed by the Llall- fyrnach bra-s baud, and banners with most suitable mottoes, such as "Trech gwlad nag arglwydd," "Ymladdwn, gorchtygwn," Cyf- iawnder a fyuwn," alld another in deep mourn- inK bOi-e the iolJowmg inscription in imposing letters—" In mcmoriam of the House of Lords," and on the opposite side—"Fy oymuniad olaf." Paid a mi fel y cryrhavvyf cyn fy myned ac na byddwyf mwy" (Salisbury). Another of very large, size from the Lianboidy district was sent up to Carmarthen.and bore the following inscriptions A vote for the county as well as the town," and Etholfraint i'r wlad yu gystal ac i'r dref." At 12,0 p.m. the special train from Ciynderweu drew up, and after me time the crowds found seats, some extra carriages having deen put on, and at 12-4-0 p.m. the special train of 20 crowded coaches left to swell the throng from other districts. About 400 booked from t.he Whitland station alone, which is a sign ficaut proof of the interest taken throughout the district in this important movement.

FRANCHISE MEETING AT DERI. On Tuesday evening a meeting was heM under the auspices of the Gelligaer Liberal Association, in the Tabernacle Baptist Chapel, Den, for the purpose of expressing disapproval of the action taken by the House of Lords ia rejecting the Franchise Bill. The chair »«*> occupied by the Rev. Aaron Da vies, the chairman of the Gelliper School Board, who was supported on the platform by Mr C. H. James, M.P. the tie vs. J. P. Williams, Ponr.lottyn W, Griffi h, Bargoed J. Parrisb, Bargoed J. P. Davle", Deri and — B van Deri Mr Jonathan Williams, Bargoed Mr E.' Lewis, Ysgwyddgw n Mr John Jones, and others. The CHAIRMAN expressed the great pleasure he felt in being present, both on account of hi^ old recollections of tho village, and 011 account of the faat that Deri wa- the great centre fivm which the Liberal C.,11,;e in this distr et originally spread. He poi ited out that if the Franchise Bill were pissed, 2,000 persons in the parish of Geliigaer who were now shut out from the exercise of the franchise would have a vote. In a speech of considerable interest* he trace-1, the h'stury of reform in this couutry> and showed now the II use of Lords had invariably set itself in opposi- tion to measures which had for their object the extension of the liberty of the people, Mr WM. BEVAN moved the first resolution, which wit, as follows;- That t'ds meeting emphatically condemns the re- jection of the Franchisa Bill by the Houe of Lords, ^ad hopes that, notwithstanding tb. action of the U]Ver chamber in defying the ue jlsion of the repre- senta, Gives of the people, the bill wili SOUB bocome the law ot,the land. Mr THOMAS JONES seconded the resolution. Mr C. JAMr.s, M.P., who received a very enthusiastic .greeting upon rising to support it, said this franchise question was one of most serious importance to the persons whom he was addressing. Why on earth, he asked, should the people in Merthyr .have votes and the people on this side of the hill be deprived of that privilege. He wished to know why tfrere should be this enormous difference in their privileges M Eng- lishmen, because it was one ni the greatest privileges which an Englishman cold enjoy that he should have a part in sending .someone to represent his views so far as he possibly could in i he House of Commons. For upon the House of Commons depended the liberties of the country, C' how people were to pay their taxes, whether the taxes were reasonably imposed or not, and a variety of other considerations. The Merthyr people had the power at an election to send representatives to Par- liament, but so far as the people in this district were concerned, they, being outside the charmed circle of a borough, had no such power. Why should they be left out in the cold as it were 1 There was no answer, and no an- swer could be given. (Hear, hear.) He thought it better for the parties in the State that every man who lived in a house should have a vote, then their anchise would be on a good broad settled basis. (Ap- plause.) The Tories argued that the Franchise Bill had not been rejected, but that it had only been laid aside until a Redistribution Bill should have bt an introduced, but the Tories knew perfectly well that it was impossible for both measures to be brought in at the same time. Why, the House of Commons were 25 days dis- cussing this Frauciiise Bill-a bill with no compli- cation whatever. The Redistribution Bill would be one of the most complicated bills that was ever pre-ented to Parliament—would take a whole session before it could be fought out, because there was an amazing number of interests to be considered. First of all, the number of members which should be given to England, to Wales, to Scotland, and to Ireland, and then, after they had settled that, they had to settle between different contituencies. It was obvious that a great many towns which now sent members to Parliament must be merged into their counties, and in that way considerable conflicting elements would arise. Unless they had the Franchise Bill as a solid foundation upon which to work, the hope of a Redistribution Bill was, to his mind, utterly dead and gone. (Applause.) The House of Lords had sug- gested a dissolution in order to get at the feeling of the country, but it was one of the prerogatives of the Queen, upon the advice of her ministers, to declare when a dissolution should take place, and it was important that the English people should carefully watch that there was no encroachment on that right, far if the Lords could, by throwing out a bill, declare when there should be a dissolution, they might snap at a dissolution when it would be most hostile to every interest except their owu. (Applause.) There were now three million voters in the country, and under the Franchise Bill two million more would be created. The Liberals were quite willing to go to the country, but the country should mean the five million voters and not the three millions. But what the Tories wanted was to have the interests of all the little boroughs against them, because the Redistribu- tion Bill would have the effect of wiping them out of existence altogether. (Applause.) The hon. member proceeded to point out that the country was brought to the very verge of revolution by the hostility shown by the House of Lords to the great Reform Bill of 1832, and that it was brought into a condition of the direst misery by the oppo- sition shown by the peers to the bill for the abolition ofthe corn laws. He also called attention to the awful crimes which followed upon the refusal of the upper chamber to pass the Compensation for Disturbance Bill for Ireland. He said he thought that both Houses of the Legislature should be put on such a basis that they should not be everlast- ingly clashing with each other. (Applause.) If the Franchise Bill were again rejected it might be that there would be such an outbreak of popular fury as occurred in 1832, but he hoped the people would remain calm. It was, however, for them to be firm and resolute, aud to do whatever they could to strengthen the hands of the present Government, wh:ch he believed to be the most able and honest Government that ever ruled the destinies of the nation. (Loud ap- plause.) The Rev. J. P. WILLIAMS and Mr JONATHAN WILLIAMS also spoke in support of the resolution, which, upon being submitted to the meeting, was passed unanimously. Mt, JOHN JONES moved— That this meeting expresses its unabated confidence in her Majesty's liovernment, and unqualified approva of the efforts of Mr Gladstone and his co'neagues to pass the Franchise Bill. The resolution was seconded by Mr E. LEWIS, supported by the Rev. C. Parrish, the Rev. W. Griffith, Mr John Jenkins, of Llanfabon, one of the miner's representatives on the sliding- scale committee, and the Rev. Mr Griffiths, of New Tredegar, and carried without a single dis- sentient. A vote of thanks was afterwards accorded to Mr James for his presence, and the meeiiiig closed with the usual compliment to the chairman. Sneaking at a banquet given to him on Tuesday evening by the Junior Conservative Club, Liver pllol, L u*d Harrowby, in replying to the toast of his health, said the position the Lords had tfken up in regard to the franchise and redistribution, that the battle which had now to be fought was that of freedom and of the con- stitution. Every word Mr Gladstone had used about the House of Lords had contained a veiled threat that if they did not pass the Franchise Bill he would attack the constitution. He was assuming a position which no English Premier had ever assumed before—that of a dictator. What the Lords considered was the country iirst and party afterwards. Tneir position, he urged, was perfectly detensible. They were bound to do the bidding of the country as much as the Lower House, and until they were con- vinced that the country thought otherwise, they must insist 011 the concurrent pissing of the Fran- chise and the Redistribution Bills, and that the future independence of the House of Lords should not be menaced in any degree. Lord G ran v tile has issued a circular to Liberal Peers asking their attendance on the 23rd. Their presence, he says, will be especially important when the Franchise Bill is brought to the Hou-e of Lords.

THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION. The autumnal meeting of the Congregational Union was begun on Tuesday in the City Temple. The Rev. Joseph Parker delivered the inaugural address, the subject of his discourse being The Luger Ministry." The address, which was of portentous lensfi.h, contained little of interest except to the religious world. Towards the close, the speaker indulged in a passing sneer at the aristocracy, and made an allusion to the land question, declaring in favour of drastic measures of reform. He remarked: Whatever property we acquire we will acquire justly. No public burglary will we abet or sanction. We will not degrade the dukes; we wili raise the common people. We are bound to do this by the very genius of our principles, rightly appre- hended and applied. The peasant shall be taught the history of his country, the peasant shall hav a voice in the destinies of his country, the peasant shall have a stake in the fortune? of his country. But in working towards such euds, never let us forget that Christian socialism is no easy problem, and that social inequalities are not to be adjusted by the rule of thumb. Let us also be 011 our guard lest the word Christian be only the handle with which the knife socialism" is worked. It is easy to excite the spirit of dis- content, but this need not prevent us promoting the justice which is due to every creature of the living God. Our hope is in education, and in the mental eolighteom uit which accompanies it. Our duty as religious churches and Christian teachers is to show that the morality of the Cross is as sub- lime as its theology, and that no land is worth having that is not acquired honestly and tilled indus- triously. Dukedoms and earldoms liavj no future. Yet this very faith enables us to "hasten slowly." Our assurance is in the eternal. Our faith is in the Son of Man. In the golden age of a Chris- tianised humanity, which is pledged by the oath of God, when our great dukes are as forgotten as dukes Teman, Omlr, and Znpho, the laud will be. honestly held, and cultivated into plentiful har- vests, by people who have heard a great voice from heaven, saying, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fnln^ss thereof."

It appears the boy was riding behind one of Lewis's (the earner) vans, near the quarries, when he lost his hold, and in an unaccountable way one of the wheels passed over his bo-iy. Dr. Edwards was soon in attendance, but proved of no avail. The jury re- turned a verdict of "Accidental death,"

AN IMPORTANT SHIPPING SCHEME. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] NEW YORK, Monday Evening.—Sir John Macdonald (Prime Minister of Canada) and Mr Stephen (president of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way) have taken passages in the Cunard steamer which leaves Now York on Wednesday next for Liverpool, The object of their journey is to en- deavour to negotiate in London the necessary funds for the establishment of a line of steamers to ply in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway between British Columbia and China, Rumours of this scheme have already reached San Francisco, where it has made a great stir, and has evoked threats of strenuous opposition from those who have hitherto baen permitted to enjoy a monopoly of a profitable trade. But as the pro- posed Canadian route from Yokohama to Europe, besides other advantages, is three days shorter than via San Francisco, it is believed that Mr Stephen cannot fail to bring bis mission to a successful issue.

BASS A LEO FARMERS' ASSOCIATION. COLONEL MORGAN, M.P., ON THE LABOURERS' VOTE. The annual ploughing match and exhibition of roots and vegetables promoted by this association took place on Tuesday. The ploughing composi- tors assembled on laud in the occupation of Mr E. Stratton, Machen-piaee Farm. The ground was a, clover ley, but, owing to the dry weather, was not in a very good condition for the plough. The day was beautifully fine, und the work, which was only of an average ii one lip- lion, was watched with great interest. Seveutsen teams were present six in the champion class, three in the champion district class, seven in the waggoners' class, and one in the boys' class. This last class is the only one which shows a diminution as compared with last year, when there were five competitors. A commend- able novelty was this year introduced in connec- tion with the show, namely, an exhibition of roots and vegetables in tho village. The exhibits, especially the roots, were very flue, aud elicited the commendation of the judges. In tho ploughing the judges were Mr R. Thomas, Boyston-piaca, Cowbridge, and Mr Win. Yorath, Newport; in the hedging and ditching, Mr Charles Harris, Pontymister, and Mr Thomas Morgan, Bassaleg. For the roots, Messrs H. S. Williams, South- brook, Portskewett, and Mr Williams, Splott Farm, Cardiff, were the judges; and for the exhibition, Messrs James Jones, Ruperra, and Mr Morgan, St. Woollos. In the evening tho public dinner took place at the Tredegar Arms Inn, when about 80 sat down. The Hon. Col. Morgan, M.P., presided in the absence of Lord Tredegar, and was supported by Col. Lyne, Messrs E. J. Grice, A. C. Jones, li. Stratton, J. S. Stone, C. D. Phili ps, T. Parry, etc. The loyal toasts were proposed from the chair and duly honoured. Col. LYNE proposed The County Misnbers." The lion. Colonel MOEGAN, in responding, re- ferred to parliamentaiy duties, and said he was atraid he could not teli them that many measures had been passed during the last session. Whose lault it was appeared to be a debatable matter. Everybody was bandying words as to whether the principal obstruction pro- ceeded from the Obstructionists, properly so called, or from the Tory members. He was a Tory member, but he could not remember that he ha.l'taken any part in any case of obstruction. The Liberals talked very much about obstruction, but when he entered Parliament ten years ago he sat on on a differeut side of the House, and the then Opposition indulged to the fullest extent in the same tactics, and they reduced them to a science. To complain now-a- days was something like the pot calling the kettle black. (Laughter.) When a party was in oppo- sition it was natural that it should do all in itli power to thwart the Government in the- passing ot measures whieb in might not con«iii«r OJ: for tb6 good. of the? electors. (Hear, hear.) That could be understood. But there were other kinds of oppo- sition, the object of which was not to allow any measure to be passed. This was, in his opinion, proceeding beyond the legitimate duties of op- position, and with such people he did not agree, for it was well kuown to the whips of the House that there was not a more independent member than he himself, was. He was not tied or bound in any way nobody paid his expenses, j. his family had represented the county for a hundred years anu if his constituents did not like him, they had. only to turn him out. (No, no.) His apology for alluding to what he termed the tirade on the Franchise Bill was that the presi- dent of that society was one of the peers which tl promoters of that tirade sought to abolish. He did not think the members of the Bassaleg Association would give their votes in favour of that. If the. House of Lords was abolished, another chamber of some kind would have to be provided; and where could such an independent and utterly good chamber be found as the present House of peers ? Be- cause it was hereditary was no fault of its members. It was, he asserted, a thoroughly honest assembly, composed of men desirous of doing their best for the country, and who had its welfare completely at heart. For his owu part he did not fear to give a vote to. the agricultural labourers. He knew the men, and he believed they were as worthy of the exercise of the franchise as any oth. r portion of the constituencies; but lie did not want to see an agricultural district swamped by an adjacent urban district, and that was the reason why he wished redistribution^ What was the use for labourers in Bassaleg having a vote if voters from Newport who knew nothing about the laud came out and swamped them 1 (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, the lion, member referred to the promises of support he had received from staunch Liberals, and said he did not in the least fear an election taking place. Other toasts, principally of a personal and com- pl.mentary character, followed. The following is the prizu list:—■ PLOUGHING (champion class), open.—1st B4, C. Vaujihau, lJenarth 2nd £2, D.

EXCISE PllOSExSjTlOISF AT COWBRIDGE. At the Uowbridge police-court 011 Tuesday, the excise authorities summoned Thomas Spencer brewer, See., of Oowbridge, for selling spirits without a licence. Mr C. W. Harrold, district supervisor of excise, prosecuted and Mr Douglas Metcalfe, of the Western Circuit, instructed by Mr Paul, solicitor, of Bristol, was for tb. de- fendant.—Thomas Stuchbery, inland revenue officer, said that ha had had an interview with Mr Spencer, and asked him if he did not consider it necessary to take out a licence as he was selling spirits. He said no, as lie was agent for Mr Paul, wine merchant, Bristol, and forwarded orders. Spoke to Mr Spencer again, and he said he was going to Bristol and would consult with Mr Paul on the subject. On his return he said they were not going to take out a licence and would take out the consequenecs. as they did not consider themselves liable. On June 19th he called at Mr Spencer's office and ordered a gallon of whisky. Afterwards received it from Mr Paul, of Bristol.—In cross examination he said he understood it would be sent by Messrs Paul; it was also invoiced from them."—Mr Paul, wine and spirit merchant, was called for the defence, and said that Mr Spencer was simply their traveller, and most of his orders came from out- side Cow bridge. He was furnished with one of their business cards, bearing their address, with a blank for filling in his name-a, card similar to what was given to their other travellers.—Mr Metcalfe addressed the court, contending that it was a bona fidotransaction from beginning to end. -rhe bench dismissed the case on the hcts, and not as a point of law, believing that the defendant was a bonâfide traveller. Mr Stacey and Sir J. Spearman dissented from the decision. The excise authorities gave notice of appeal.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BERKSHIRE.—Mr Walter, speaking on Tuesday evening at the dinner of the Royal East Berkshire Agricultural Association at Maidenhead, an- nounced his intention to retire from the repre- sentation of the county in company with his two colleagues, Sir Robert Loyd Lindsay and Mr Wrougliton. He should be 66 years of age on the morrow, and he thought he had a claim to retirement, and the political condition of the country of late years had not been such as to afford him any inducement to delay his retirement. He wished to see the question of the franchise brought to a harmonious and satisfac- tory solution, and he thought that an extension of the franchise and redistribution ought to be car- ried together, but he considered that his Conser- vative Iriends had created a bogey which would not stand calm scrutiny.

AN OBJECTIONABLE SWAN- SEA PHI NT. ITS REJECTION FROM THE FREE LIBRARY. At the ninthly meeting of the committee of the Swansea Public Library on Tuesday afternoon, the principal question for discussion was a motion of which Mr J. Deffett Francis had given notice, via. To bring to the notice of the committee a. certain jiiablication called the Swansea, Boy, and to move a resolution theraou," Mr iJeffett Francis observed that within the town of Swan- sea, he was sorry to say, there was a. process of degradation going- (Ill with regard to the pross that was almost paralyzing all efforts for good. < Ho would quote in illustration of that fact a. specimen he held ia his hand. The specimen WM a paper called the Swansea Boy., He was only sorry his native town should be degraded by such a publication, aud as he did not believe any member of the committee would be so gross as to spend one single halfpenny on such a publi- cation, he deemed it necessary to give quotations. But some people evidently saw it, for as there was an old proverb that where there wore no receivers there were no thieves, so they might say with regard to such a publication as that, that where there were no readers there would be no such production. Ho did not know there was anything so foul in the town till a copy he held in his hand was seat to him. Mr Francis then read some of the references alluded to, and amongst them were the following u That Mr J. Deffett Frauds is going to make an exhibition of himself at the public library meeting to-day;" that such a noodle ought to be placed in a glass case, and exhibited to the public as a novelty that Mr J. Deffett Francis wanted to paint a portrait of Madame Adelina Patti." This last statement, Mr Francis observed, NRS perfectly true. "That he was refused the work after writing lialf-a-dozon letters on the subject. He (Mr Francis) was not aware lie ever applied for such a commission, or was ever refused it. On tho contrary, his object was to paint a portrait, and give the moueyit wouldhave cost for the benefit of the Swansea Hospital. (Applause,) That was to say, £500 would be paid for the picture, and on him receiving the amount he would pay it to the hospital as a sub- scription. (Hear, hear.) Mr Francis here inci- dentally observed that he had an aversion to speaking of people in their absence, and, there- fore,, he was glad to find that the editor was in the room. Ou September 19th the same publica- tion stated that Mr Brock and Mr Deffett Francis are to be very much congratu- lated for having persisted in the closing of the Pennard House Fine Art Exhibition. That the forces were well marshalled on Tuesday. That the exhibition has proved to be a nine days' wonder. That Mr Deffett Francis got sat on by Mr Hosford. That the burgesses don't want tobeevarlastinglytold that he gave 6,000 works to the library. That he apparently disbelieves in the Scriptural injunction that the right hand should not know what the left hand doeth.' The speaker thelLread from the publica- tion of the following week a description written under the nom de plume of Quiz," a scene which, it was alleged, took place between Mr Francis and a man who had attempted to strike a match in the free library. Mr Francis was spoken of as "a deaf old man," a half-starved looking fellow," as having scampered upstairs at the double from the man, and as turning pale from fear. Mr Francis denied these allegations, and continued that he had recently been in London, and had shown the extracts to an eminent counsel, who had characterised them as a gross and infamous libel, and had advised him to take criminal pro- ceedings. His local attorney had also advised a similar course, and he intended following their advice. The speaker then described in terms which were so amusing as to cause roars of laughtet. his first introduction to the editor of the production. alluded to,. Mr Francis alleging that he had been compelled, as a member of the committee, to admonish him for lounging at the entrance to the library and causing an obstruction. After making some allusions to the object of his wrath of too personal a character for publication, Mr Francis said some one had sent copies of the extracts to some of his dearest friends, and he now asked the com- mittee to calmly and deliberately consider whether the institution, which was for the benefit and elevation of the broad mass of society, should give prominence to a publication which befouled everyone who did anything for the benefit of the- town. He moved That the Swansea Boy being libellous, scandalous and malicious, and this institution being formed tor the dissmination ofcsound instruction in literature and the fine arts, the Swansea Boy be no longer allowed to circulate within the Swansea Public Library. Mr CHAPMAN, for the sake of discussion, seconded the motion, but said, although he had often been attacked in the paper, he was not anxious to crush the little rascal." Mr PHILIP ROGKKS My idea is that it. is not worth taking notice of. Mr J. LEWIS thought the question was entirely between Mr Francis and the paper alluded to, and though they all deprecated the statements read, he did not think the committee should inter- fere. Mr VYE PABMINTER thought Mr Francis quite right. The paper had been rejected by certain clubs in the town, and he thought the library should follow the example of other respectable places. The CHAIRMAN (Mr Gr. B. Brock) said the library was intended for the elevation of the people of the town, and if any paper tended in a contrary direction the committee ought not to patronize it. He thought the articles quoted showed that the paper did not conform with those objects, and therefore it was desirable it should not circulate in the building. Mr DANIKI. JONKB suggested that the committee should pass a resolution rejecting the paper, but not embody the adjectives Mr Francis suggested. Mr HARTLAND was sorry Mr Francis had con- fined his observations to the particular passage which affected him. Had he taken the same numbers of the paper and quoted other passages, he might have made an infinitely stronger case. He was sorry such a paper was published in Swansea. He thought it a disgrace to the town. It was not a proper paper to circu- late amongst any class of people. It was purely a personal print, and followed in the steps of society papers, and his opinion of them was pre- cisely the same. Mr VYK PARMINTEK suggested that the adjec- tives should be left out, as, if an action for libel were pending, the committee had no right to express an opinion. Mr HARTLAND: We have nothing to do with a court of law. It is our duty to give to tho pub- lic our reason for rejecting the paper. Mr Wright (who was present) asked permission to speak, but the committee declined to hear him, and on t,he proposition being shortly afterwards put, eight voted for it and none against, and the motion was declared carried unanimously,

Owen, ju rge—Mr Plews, who appeared for the defendant, stated that Mr CliLon had abandoned the idea of a special case in the claim for damages against an Abertillery surgeon. It will be remembered that the plaintiff in the action, Mr S. N. Jones, Aber- tillery, sued Dr. Williams, of the same place, for 950 damages, which, he alleged, were caused through the defendant preventing the corpse of the plaintiff's step-son being conveyed by train from Abertillery to Whitchurch, near Car,liff.-liia Honour gave judgment for the defendant.—Mr Piews With the usual costs?—His Honour Yes, on 220 and the higher scale. POLICE-COURT. On Tuesday before Dr. Williams—Da vid Williams, a roller, who did not appear, employed by the Blaina Iron and Tin- plate Company, was summoned for neglecting his work. Mr Simons prosecuted, and called Lewis li ciiards, a roller, who deposed that a crowd called him a "blackleg," and interfered with the carrying on of the lower mill. They swore they would k ll him for working. Mr Simons pressed fordam.tges. The bench ordered the defendant to pay the damage, JS5, and costs.—David Wil- liams, aged 14-, was charged with stealing coal, the property of the Tredegar Iron Company at the Monmouth Pit, on the 17th of September. P.C. Stevens said that no doubt the child had to steal coal to get food. The bench sent the lad te gaol for 10 days, after that a reformatory for four years. ———— —

WESTLUilY-ON-SEVERN. THE EAST DEAN DEFICIT.-Tiie guardians held their usual fortnightly meeting in the board- room on Tuesday, the Chairman (Major Probyn) presiding. An important discussion arose upon the subject of sanitary and other rates due by the East Dean authorities, Mr Savidge cottfplaiuing that he had attended four meetings and no busi- ness had eventuated. He wished the board would grasp the present deplorable state of their balance, which grew more and more every meeting. The chairman, referring to this matter, observed that he had for some time watched the serious condi- tion of affairs with alarm, and he regretted the Crown had not contributed a greater quota to the rates, they being the lords .f the soil. Now, however, the matter was mooted, he hoped the ball would be kept rolling, Mr A. Thomas explained that the question at present stood as between the Westbury-on-Severn guardians on the one hand and the Crown on the other. Tile present difficulties originated in the practice of the Crown in years gone by to sell to parties plots of land upon which little liuts were built, widiout rg,rd to form, sanitation, or other mutters. This grew, and at last Cinderiord grew out of it, and there also grew a fever which raged for some time. The result was that an authority came down from London, and, acting over the heads of local authorities, put the district to an exceptional expense, and at present the raised capital had assumed alarming proportions. When the present colliery concerns were worked out, he apprehended that bankruptcy would ensue.—Mr Russell then said he felt strongly that the best course to pursue wou d be to petition the Treasury, and that the authorities interested should ask for a commission to take evidence on the spot, which would then undoubtedly make out a clear case against the Crown.—Mr Carter (clerk) intimated that in a conversation he had with the county members, Colonel Kingscote and Lord Moreton, these gentlemen promised to consult Mr Courtney on their return to Londol1,-After further discussion, the board agreed to meet on Friday, and take steps to form a committee, whose duty will be to take the'matter in hand.
