Th ex-Porenir then proceeded: Now, gentlemen; me ti you in plain and frank words wh¿ think the state of facts under which we eet. (Rr, hear.) We are here, gentlemen the rddle of an elecfmn „»„ot vetecisively pronounced. About one-half the nfibers of the new Par- liament have b returd, nd the other half have vet to belected. The great agency in electing the meters altdy returned-the prin- cipalagency-tbeentt of the English boroughs. Now, I am ng present to you our case under its verv,rst aect when I tell you how we stand in tbEngli boroughs, and likewise how we stoodpou sirday corning last, with recrarH fn thP iole etion, as far as it naa gone, egara to -artain number of returns nclading as n7-'jfand Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Bu^I willf t^peaParticularly of the En^lisb bolLhf 5t i the boroughs there have been feturnel08 Terals and 115 Tories. That is an adve* bgice which the country has got to rectifrl;hink has rectified already. fohlora i RI only dilateunon that for a iSS*. it a ious question to know how and why'thTet1 takes place of 103 Liberals „~„;„cilFyonservatives. (Hear, hear.) I think I ci 1 before you pretty clearly •fK f A.^elaborate details. In the first "we ««•there }• °n« ly of which, though we do not general, we have got thelmono- i J xCthe running of two candidates for *nd though London, un- forl nnateb 7ery much, I think, from w^S of 36 habits of self-government which tl est of the country enjoy is not imp strong places, yet in London we L Iran four Liberals for four seats, • t r dier Liberals for the same seats, and _i „ *emade a handsome present of those Shanes. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentle- s sufficiently discreditable to those t' <eietropolis and to the gentlemen who w»h,cacerned in bringing about such a u iu I have, nothing to do with that now i.11 I have to point out to you is thaV iera.s I have just represented to you a ha'-e f 108 Liberals against 115 Conserva- i "it fed not been for the tomfoolery-for it is n't worthy of a better one—of giving aw;hosi four seats, the balance would have be12 liberals against 111 Conservatives. But, „p3meq tb6re have been other causes at work, Qof thjm is the miserable imposture that goes tie name of fair trade. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, -lave lived, as most of you have not, ough the whole of the free trade contro- DaatnIa AAmrkUin nf thø nnflPQ th!lt. I.OJ'. A. C-V^V WU^/t«».U V*. (5 levied upon our goods in foreign countries, id that is not unreasonable. But the question how to get rid of these duties. They want to t rid of those duties by forcing foreign coun- ies to part with them. Now, gentlemen, we •ied very hard when I was a young man—I was > the Government of Sir Robert Peel, first as keciatary and then as President of the Board of — j^ci during that time we tried very hard to get foreign countries to lower their duties as we lowered ours. But we W J -f- mnra we arerued in favour of reducJ ^nor? they aupwntol -I;. to the^ «d raiiouany, w», tuey want tnesa said, a J 4ced not for our benefit but for theirs duao* l^Ay they must be very vaiuaoie to conseq"^1^• 8j, TTau}a not be so very eager in en- deavouring to get us to reduce them." And we gave up arguing with the foreign countries, because we fouud that the effect produced was exactly the reverse of what we desired. So we set about the management of our legislation, and whereas for all the years between the beginning of the century and the first adop- tion of free trade, the trade of the country was stationary, the revenue of the country was stationary, the wages of the labourer were stationary, and, even tending to decline, and whereas we had then all the characteristics of a stationary country in proportion as, without imitatng foreign countries, we did the only good thing that we could do- that of f < st setting them a good example— (cheers)—we began to go steadily forward in the march of trade by removing one obstruction after another upon British industry and British capital. The right hon. gentleman then pointed out the great advance in material prosperity which the country had made under free trade, and went on—" I need not tell you, for I think you know, tnat this vast material change tizis been accompanied, thanks be to God, with enor- mous moral benefits. (Cheers.) Education has been spread through the country. That which was formerly the privilege of the few has become more and more the right, the benefit, and the enjoyment of all- (cheers)—and along with the education of the country so spread, and the means of the people so improved, we have witnessed the most satisfac- tory and blessed results of all that could be achieved in the enormous diminution of crime, owin?, in part, gentlemen, to those wise mitiga- tions of the criminal code which have been amongst the Liberal reforms of the period but owing also in a great degree to the i ii) pro ve-neiit in the condition of the people that lessened the pressing of the stimulus of want and, finally, that increased confidence in the Government and the laws which have given te our institutions and our throne a position tenfold more secure than when we laboured under the errors of the protec- tive and restrictive system, and raised the paralysing hand from the industry of the country. And yet, gentlemen, not- withstanding these facts, there are men who think that all these blessings ought to be un- done, and who are delighted to see that the Government have appointed a commission to bee whether they cannot get rid of free trade, under the name of a phantom system which they never can obtain—(cheers)—and which will prove, if tested, a miserable delusion, if not a miserable imposture—to abandon the by.stem which has brought with it so many blessings, and to venture upon a course of wild change, which the Liberals are generally but unjustly reproached with doing, but which is the worst of all sins and errors for Tories to fall into. (Hear, and cheers.) Fair trade may have deluded a few, as free trade has pleased the many, but that has not been the main cause why, as I showed you, we are only upon a par with the Tories on the borough eleo tions, whereas we ought to be a long way ahead. I come to the main cause, and that is what they call the "Irish vote." (Groans.) Much allowance was to be made for the Irish people, and saying that whatever irritation their present conduct might produce, he hoped the Liberal party would not slacken in the desire to give them everything that justice could claim. The right bon. gentleman said that what we wanted in this country was the voice of Ireland from Ireland. With regard to the Irish vote, he continued—" There is Mr T. P. O'Connor, who has thrown a flood of light upon this subject. You probably have not seen a letter of his ad- dressed to the Freeman's Journal, in which he sets forth in detail the effect of the Irish vote upon Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other elections, and he thinks he shows-and he is certain he is not far wrong-that 25 seats have been carried over by the Irish vote from the Liberal to the Tory camp. (Shame.) Use your arithmetical faculties. Take the 25 seats that we have lost through the Irish vote, add these 25 seats to the 122 which I showed you would have been ours, but for the present we made in London to the Tories— 25 and 112 make, I think, 137. I Take these 25 seats from the 111, which ) I have shown you to be the proper position of the Tories by fair contest, and that will leave, I think, 86. The true numbers, therefore, had the matter been fought without this infusion of the Irish vote, would have been 86 for thb Tories and 112 plus 25, or 137 for the Liberals. (Cheers.) That showed, Mr Gladstone contended, that the nation was a Liberal nation. (Loud cheers.) He believed himself that the Irish were by nature a Liberal nation, but the Irish had been forbidden to vote upon the grounds of general politics, and they had been told that their one duty upon this occasion to the country was simply to weaken the Liberal party without any reference to this political question or that. (Shame.) Now, gentlemen," he proceeded, I think I am safe in saying that we have seen the worst of the power of the Irish vote, and the power of that delusion has been greater in the boroughs than it is likely to be in the counties." (Cheers.) The effect of the Irish vote in the boroughs, of course, could not at present be redressed, yet already, with the increased action of other powers, the power of the counties, and the power of Scotland and of Wales already an improvement had been manifest. On Saturday morning the Liberal total was only by three ahead of the boroughs totaL lie baa now the satisfaction of telling them that the num- ber of three had been raised by the proceedings of Saturday to 18.

RI-IONDDA DIVISION. SIR E. J. lID, I.P., AT TREHERBERT AND LLWYNYPIA. On Monday afternoon a public meeting was held at the Public hall, Treberbert, tQ further the can- didature of Mr Fred Davis for the Rhondda Division. Mr Davw was accompanied by Sir Edward Reed, M.P., who received a very hearty reception from a large audience Mr William Morgan, Tynewydd, presided, and amon^ those present were Mr Benjamin Lewis (Carddi), hev. A. Morris (Treorky), and Mr J. J. Unflnhs (elec- tion agent). Mr GEODGE GALLOWAY proposed a resolution expressing confidence m Mr Gladstone and his Liberal colleagues in the late administration. (Applause.) Mr JOHN HUGHES seconded the resolution, and it was supported by Mr FRED DAVIS, who was warmly cheered. Sir EDWARD REED, M.P., also supported the resolution. He was greeted with rounds of cheering, the audience rising and raising their bats. He said he thought it one of the must pam- ful things in the Rhondda Valley that they were not fighting the common enemy of the Liberal party, but were having a competition, so to speak, between a couple of Liberals. He was sorry to see in the contest throughout the country occasional instances of the Liberal party being split into two. He was also sorry n .rl"n &.C \t1.rJ.J\.L1Ui.oI, I the regular organisation, .1 bad uot muy lost tlie sent. himself, hut also for the ot. Libera!, and let a Conservat've in. This was the case and example in Hull. Now, he was in favour of a certain num .or of woriiiug-meu can- didates. There were no belter members of Parliament than Mr Broadhurst and Mr Burt. (Cheers.) Oae of the most agreeablo things that had occurred to him during the election at Cardiff was the circumstance that the other day a couple of engineers came to him and saying that they represented the Radical section of the Liberal party in Cardiff, added that they were so satisfied with his contest, and the work be was doing, that they wanted to make him a present of a little separate testi- monial of their regard. This was to be seen in the scarf pin lie was then wearing. (Loud cheers.) Therefore be hoped it would be quite understood that he would not stand on any platform whatever against any working man candidate, unless it was for the vindication of a principle, and that principle the unity of the Liberal party, (blear, hear.) ^e believed the coming Parliament woutd be the very first in which the working classes of the country would exercise a true and serious in- fluence in it; therefore, it became very im- portant whom they selected. He should like to say that he was very anxious to see sent to Par- liament not only bis friend, Mr Frod Davis, but other young men acquainted, as .Mr Davis was, and must be from the circumstances of the case, with every branch of the interests of t'natdivision. (Loud cheers.) He was in favour of labour, but it was a very unde-irable tiling to set class against chs, On the labour question let him say that while there was no man alive who sympathised iu-i. e with tha labour aspect of a coun- try than he did, lie had many opportunities of realising the fact that labour without associitioli with capital could lIot du a great many things that were wanted. What they wauled was not a separation of labour from capital, but a separation of labour from bad capitalists, who cared only for themselves and not for those people who so largely contributed to the wealth that W 'ks produced. (Hear, hear.) What they wanted was a thoroughly good under- standing between capital and labour, and good co operative action throughout the country for the common interest. It was quite 'TT I" _ro.n\,Q true a working man m ino House oi i;ounuu»« could slate a great many things and do a great deal quite as well as anyone else cjuld do them. iistrict (Cheers.) But should men in such a district as that not elect one who could do that and more, a man who could expect to rise into offices of State and exercise through the public departments that influence that thoy wante 1 ? Ho believed they and supporters like them would sena his friend Mr Fred Davis to Parliament, where he would be likely to a oifice, and bring to bear his knowledge upon the administration of the c-u.;try. Tllù reason why he was upon such excellent terms.with his party in CardIff was that he did not thrust him self upon them. (Cheers.) He wished he could believe this conflict between Liber,lh would not be fought out. The Rhondda men having lished an organization, and having ca e(I' Mr Davis, he wished the whole R.iondda y would stand by liiir. (Loud cheers.) H „ Mr Abraham would fall in with it. ( hear.) He was absolutely certain-he said it in all friendliness to Mr f-^am- that he would improve his position m party, ana yet secuie a seai *-■• easily bv withdrawing from the conte y splitting the party and forcing men who were all seeking the accomplishment of the same, objects into opposite voting at the pollhug- ■ thing very satisfactory was that no Conservative had dared to show his face there- indeed a comfort, for the simple tea^on that Liberals bad been toiling for many years past to bring about the enfranchisement of the Rbondda Valley, which the Tories had opposed all the time there was the slightest chance of success. The Liberal arm had been raised to give the working-cashes power by means of those votes to accompbsh their own objects. He would ask them to discountenance in every way the splitting up of the Liberal party and giving advantages to other people He was certain, from what he knew of Mr Davis-and he had read the newspaper reports of the excellent speeches he had been making day by day-tbat he would make them an excellent representative, and there was such a strong desire among the Liberals of Cardiff to see him returned, and that by an overwhelming majority, that he trusted they would gratify them by giving the wish effect. (Hear, hear) If Mr Abraham had the confidence of any large section of the Rbondda Valley Liberals, he might express the hope that if defeated there be would find a seat in another division, so that he (the speaker) might have the pleasure of seeing Mr Abraham as well as Mr Davis in Parliament doing cood service for the Rhondda. (Loud cheers.) The hou. gentlemau went on to advocate Air Broadhurst's bill, an extensive land reform, a commission for inquiring into Royal grants by the nation, the removal of the bishops from the House of Lords, and other matters. On resuming a., his seat he was loudly cheered. The resolution was carried. Mr HENRY MORGAN proposed a resolution of confidence in the candidature of Mr Fred. Davis. (" Hear, hear," and interruption.) Mr BENJAMIN LEWIS (Cardiff) seconded the resolution. His speech was frequently inter- rupted. The resolution was put to the mooting, and a number of hands were held up lor it. There were calls for an amendmeut, and though no f amendment was put, many hands were held up in 'v favour of one. The meeting broke up amid slight i disorder, and cheers and counter cheers for Mr « Davis and Mr Abraham. N

SIR EDWARD REED AT LLWYNYPIA. On Monday evening Mr Fred Davis attended a public meeting in furtherance of his candida- ture at Salem Chapel, Llwynypia. He was again accompanied by Sir Edward Reed, M.P., and both received a very cordial reception from a large and attentive audience. Mr Adams, collier, PrMrdR." THOMPSON, Ferndale, moved a vote of confidence in Mr Gladstone and his ex-Minis- terial colleagues. Mr MORGAN POWELL seconded the resolution. Sir EDWAnl) REED, ill supporting the resolu- tion, said that in Cardiff they made their fight short but sharp, and although they had not taken so many weeks as their friend Mr Davis in their contest, he believed that he had made as many speeches as Mr Davis during the last three weeks. fLauehter) It was his desire to have met Lis fSends and supporters at Cardiff. But they had told him We who have worked for your success nt- Cardiff would be much better pleased if you would put in an appearance in the Rhondda ana I say a word in support of Mr Davis than we should be in any fher way. (Hear, hear ) So that he represented Cardiff there that night, and the good wishes and hopes of Cardiff for the suc- cess of Mr Fred Davis. (Renewed applause.) He was clad to note the extreme orderliness of the meeting. He had been very much grieved during the past two or three weeks to find that a number of Mr Fred Davis's meetings had been seriously disturbed. Whv be regretted tuat was this—tuat uo true lover of human freedom ever sanctioned putting down an arcument by clamour. He was no„ there, and no friend of his in Cardiff would wish him to be there, to say a single word against the return to Parliament of a working man (Hear, hear ) They were all entirely m tavour of that. Ihey had the highest appreciation of the working men who had been in Parliament. No better members had been in the last Parliament than Mr Broad- hurst and Mr Burt-(app!ause)-and the only reason that they urew a line that night between the two candidates who were before them in that division was that that they felt and believed and knew that the one candidate (Mr Davis) was before them by virtue of the recognised organisa- tion of the Ruondda Division, and that the other was before them in consequence of a split off from th*f- organisation. (Hear, hear.) He did not know intimately Mr IJavis s opponent, and he was not in a position to judge of his qualification as a member of Parliament, but he would say this that if they were ever so high if they snrinsed altogether the qualities which even Mr Broadhurst and Mr Burt had developed, that would not justify such a conflict as was going on there. (Applause.) He believed himseit that the case of the working classes of the district would be better served ill the long run by a loyal conformity to the organised expression of the will of the people of the valley than bv any split or any conflict or any contention that could be brought about. (Hear, hear.) The manhood of the country now for the first time found a voice, and looking back upon the past he must say that as a Liberal hc rejoiced in the course they had as a party pursued. (Hear, hear.) Sir Edward then dealt with some aspects of educational reform, and expounded his views upon the State Church Disestablishment and Disendowment question. Disendowment he re- garded rather as the revision of endowmnent. He protested against tho misconstruction of his views bv Vicar Thompson, of Cardiff, and went on to say .-I say this, and I shall have to say it again, and repeat it in a manner which will have to be attended to, for I intend before long to ask the Bishop of Llandaff and his clera-y what became of the Christian religion during my contest ? (Heat, hear.) I notice that the Vicar of Cardiff yesterday is reported to have preached a sermon in which he invited his people tn fnrs-ot the excitement of the past, and listen to the sweet consolations and words ot Jesus Christ. the s,,vee con, But I want to know what I am to think of that religion which comes into operation after the elec- tion" is over, and which is despised, neglected, and trodden under foot, and is replaced with the grossest selfishness during the contest in order to keep the Church in possession of that which it never did anything t' acquire in many places, and which they themselves robbed in the old Jays from the Catholic Church—(iouc( applause)—when that was the religion of the whole country. Depend upon it, these clergy, by forcing this question at my election have done something which before very long they will regret. (Loud cheers.) I told then the other niht that I would appeal from his misrepresentation of me to the people of Caraiif, and I did appeal, and although he has had precty nearly all the brewers and the drinking clubs of the town to support his cause, and although au Irish nationalist came there to excite the Irish portion of the population against me, and although the Catholic priests and bishops have done their utmost to band the people against uie, and although no false state- ment has been spared, no misrepresentation withheld, no evil instrument refused by those who have been fighting against me, notwithstanding that we came out of the trial on Saturday, and I had the delight of seeing the openly E'\t tho 01. 1 .-I LL 1't.1 combined loicea v' VU\ucn anu me uevi;, «»nable to overcome me. (Cheers.) Sir Edward a "man "ki,hat uo matter in what garb endowsd with vesLm.u. Kp mieht be in his hand any number ot croziei-s, and^" amount of gold in his pockets-it would be use- lesF for such a one to come to them unless he came with the words oi truth upon his tongue (hear, hear)-alld if ill the guise of a servant of the Lord, hebecamea servant of what was false, and untrue, an what belonged to the Devil, then lie (SirEdwa. J) would say to him tiis:-Let him look out lest the people of this country turn against more than the old endowments of the Church. Let him look out lest they failed to see in the Church at all worthy spiritual guides of the people lost they should fear in it an instru- ment to over-rule; to dominate, mislead, and pervert the interests of the people. (Ap- plause.) Aye, they batl raised a most serious question. J-he standpoint of these people was, Perish the interests ot the people, only let us clutch hold of every sixpence we possess." That was to be the cil,"Ifotige of the Church to the people in the year 1885, when the people had become the possessors, creators, and lords of that ancient realm of England. (Applause,) Sir Edward again bore testimony to the high parlia. mentary quaimunnuuo or _\ir i,rea L>avis. Mr FEED DAVIS afterwards spoke with much acceptance, and the resolution and vote of con- fidence in him were passed with great applause.

UPROAROUS PROCEEDINGS AT CWMPARK. On Monday evening a public meeting in sup- port of Mr F. L. Davis's candidature was held at the Baptist Chapjl, Cwmpark, under the presi- dency of Mr Damel J'-ynon. A resolution, expressing untiring confidence in Mr Gladstone and the ex-ministry, was proposed by Mr HABKIS, Cwnipark, and seconded by Mr EVANS, schoolmaster, Treorky. Mr LEWIS WILLIAMS, Cardiff, supposed the resolution. Iu the course of his remarks, which were considerably interrupted, he said that Mr Burt, M.P., rejected the invita- tion to support Mr Abraham's candidature, although he (Mr Burt) came to the Rhondda Valley to support Mr Arthur Williams's can- didature. (Shouts of Mabon for ever.") Notwithstanding numerous appeals for silence, the confusion continued for about ten minutes, and the resolution was eventually put to the meeting and carried. A second resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr F. Davis was afterwards proposed bv Mr WILLIAM DAVIES, and seconded by MrEvAÑ JONES. Mr EDWARD DAVIES, son of Mr D. Davies, M.P., Llanuinam, was called upon to support the resolution. In the course of his remarks he said that a house divided against itself would be sure to fall, but be was proud to say that the house in the Rhondda Valley was strong enough to stand the diszension that had occurred. On referring to the question of Mr Broadhurst's Bill considera- ble interruptions took place. He said it was use- less to discuss Liberal principles in such a meet- ing as that. One of Mr Abraham's supporters here appealed for fair play, remarking that be was as staunch a Mabonite as anyone, and that the rowdyism would surely injure Mr Abraham's cause cn the day of the poll. A Voice: "No, indeed,"and laughter. Mr DAVIES resumed his address by remarking that Mr Abraham's cause was good enough to allow of free speech on the other side. He asked the audience why Mr Abraham had not attended the school board meetings after he had been elected. (A Voice: Because of the monthly meet- lugs falling on the same day.) Was that true ? (A voice: Yes.) Well, what security would they have that some monthly meetings or other would not interfere with Mabon should be be returned to Parliament? (Interruptions.) He said Mr Abraham would have to be supported by the miners. (A Voice: The Jews will support; Isim.") He could not understand why Mr Abraham was writing for the Western Mail. (A Voice: "Because the Tories can't write them- selves.") Referring to the selection of Mabon as a candidate for the parliamentary seat of the Rbondda. he said the Ocean and Ferndale workmen bad not had a voice in the matter. (Applause and interruption.) Welshmen owed an immense debt of gratitude to the late Mr Davis, of Blaon- gwawr, who was a conscientious supporter of the Liberal party. Mr F. L. Davis was a relative of his, and a young man worthy of their respect and their hearty support. (Cheers and shouting.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, and a number of hands were held up in response. Mr THOMAS WILLIAMS, one of Mabon's sup- porters, remarked that an amendment would be put, which was subsequently submitted by Mr David Thomas (Dafydd o'r Llwyn), pledging the meeting to support Mr Abraham. This was declared by the Mabonites to be carried, bat The CHAIRMAN remarked that the number of electors who had held up their bands in favour of the amendment was short of a dosen, which evoked a storm oi nooting. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman amid tumultuous confusion. Missiles were thrown inside the chapel. One person named Johns, painter, Treorky, was struck in the eye with a rotten apple, and another immediately he got outside received a slight blow on the head from a stone. Mr Jenkins, head manager of the Ocean Collieries, was present, and made every effort to abate the disturbance outside, but his interfered proved utterly futile.

MR ABRAHAM AT BLAEN- RHONDDA. k On Saturday night Mr W. Abraham addreosed | the Blaenrltondda section of the contingent at the I schoolroom there. Mr Benjamin Jones presided. Before the meeting began then wae ut imposing procession.—Mr William Davies proposed, and Mr William Jones seconded, a resolution in furtherance of the policy of the Liberal leaders and additional labour representation. Mr Win. Perkins, Mr Benjamin Davies, Mr Thomas Llewellyn, and Me Abraham, who was enthu- siastically cheered, supported the resolution, which was carried with acclamation, as was a subsequent resolution heartily endorsing Mr Abraham's candidature, proposed by Mr Enoch Jones, and seconded by Mr David Jones. The proceedings closed with the usual complimentary votes.

WEST GLAMORGAN MR YEO AT CLYDACH. Mr Yeo was accorded a grand reception at Clydach on Monday night. With scarcely an excep- tion, the houses of the village were illuminated, and Mr Yeo was met about a mile from the village by a torchlight procession, headed by bands, and was escorted to Calfaria Chapel, where the meeting was held. The Rev. W. E. Jones presided, and he was supported by Councillor Martin, Mr Williams (Wern), Revs. Emlya Jones, J. Evans, Owen Griffiths, Messrs R. Hughes, David Davies (Piascadwgan), and T. Roberts. The chapel was crowded. After some remarks from the CHAIRMAN and the Rev. EMLYN J ONES, Mr YEO rose to spaak, and was accorded a most enthusiastic reception. Alluding to the recent disturbance at Ciydadi, he said he was glad to find that no blame could be attached to the men of Ciydach for it. (Ciieers.) He observed that Mr Miers at that meeting read a letter from his (Mr Yeo s) partner, Mr Cory Tremendous pressure had been brought to bear on Mr Cory to get him to preside at a Clydach meeting, but without success. He (Mr Yeo) supposed, however, that at length Mr Miers coaxed and wheedled a letter out of Mr Cory. He supposed many present were in the employ of the firm he belonged to, and therefore it might be as well to say, both for Mr Cory and for himself, "Don't let any here be coerced by myself or Mr Cory, and don't let any of our agents coerce you." (Applause.) In conclusion, Mr Yeo urged them cn the morrow to do their best for Liberalism, and to poll to a man for him. (Appiausu.; xuey WUUlU ""1" rue the day if they got the Tories in power for another live'or six years. It would mean abso- lute stagnation, and certainly no progress. (Hear, 16MrS Hill moved, Mr John Davis (a working mail) seconded, and Mr Davies (Beautort), Mr Williams (Wern), and Councillor Martin sup- ported, a motion in favour of Mr Yeo's candida- ture, wh.cli was carried unanimously. Verv successful meetings were also held at Oxwich and at Ystalyfera, where Mr Dillwyn, M.P., the chief speaker, met with a most entuu- siastic reception. MEETING AT THE MUMBLE a. Another meeting of Mr Yeo'3 supporters was held on Monday evening, m the Congregational Schoolroom, Castletown, Mumbles. Mr ThoS. Trew, presided, and was supported by ^ir Burme, Mr Halden, Mr Howell, Mr Tutton, the Rev*. J. C, Thomas, M. Thomas, a.nd others. Mr JORS DAVIES, a working man, moved a resolution in favour of Mr Yeo's candidature. He asked who would be likely to confer most benefit on the Mumbles—Mr Yeo or Mr -Alip,rs? It was to the interest of the former to advocate and secure a harbour of refuge for the Mumbles. He urged his iellow working men to support the candidature of the gentleman whose interests were identical with their own. (Cheers.) Mr J. TAYLOR seconded. Mr W. HOWELL, in supporting the resolution, remarked that the reason why they should sup- port Mr Yeo in preterence to illS opponent WAS that Mr fliers was a Tory landholder. They knew enough about Tory landholders to abstain from supporting them. They had one there, who practically owned the village, and who had, as far as he knew, never sent a penny into the place, but had squeezed as much as he could out of it. (Cheers.) Mr COLLINS, a working man, aisc supported the resolution, as did also Mr M. TOITON. Air BURNIE, who was received with loud cheers, said the Tory party first stated that the couutry householders were too ignorant to have a vote, and then opposed giving them free education which was Ifnlated to remove that ignorance. Mr Yeo .OJ was a constant and thoroughgoing Radical, and on these grounds they should vote tori-iiin to a man. (Loud cheers.) The motion, being put to the meeting, was carried unanimously and with great enthusiasm.

CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS ELECTION. The polling lor these boroughs took place on Monday. At Carmarthen there were three booths, all at the Guxidhall. There was a good deal of excitement in the town throughout the day, and in the evening it increased very much. Guildhall-square was mostly occupied by roughs, menced on a- The rowdyism com- throughouc Saturday. On Saturday afternood. the windows of Lord Emlyn's and Mr Tregoning's committee-rooms were swashed, and later on Mr Powell's and Sir J. Jones Jenkins's committee- rooms suffered in the same way. The offices of the deputy sheriff (Mr T. Walters; and the windows of a large number of shops and private residences in various parts uf the town served as targets for stone-throwers. It is not surprising, under these circumstances, that the authorities, acting on "second thoughts," decided to call in extra police and on Monday morning a dozen or more stalwart men belongiug to the Swansea police force put in an appearance. In the afternoon Sir John Jones Jenkins arrived, and his carriage was dragged through the town, from the station to the Boar's Head, where he addressed a large and enthusiastic crowd of his supporters. Ivlr J. W. Gwynne Hughes also spoke. The counting commenced at 10.30, and the result was expected about midnight. At Llanelly the streets were in the evening given over to a mob of youug roughs, who amused itself by smashing the windows of the Conservative Clul) in Market-street and the Con- servative committee rooms in Stepney-street. The police, though in considerable numbers, were powerless. The mob got possession of the Con- servative Club, but the Rev John Jones, Felinfoel, having been sent for, appeared at one of the windows, and after some time succeeded in inducing the greater part of the críJwd to leave, though he did so at the imminent risk of being injured by missiles.

LOCAL BILLSOHAELJ AMENT In accordance with the uusual custom, the plans for the various schems to be promoted in the fiext session! of Parliairnt were deposited on Monday in the private bill ffice at the House of Commons. There was a faiing off of twenty-two in the number of bills deposed. Last year the number was 198, composed s follows :-Railways, 74; tramways, 21; misceUneons, 59 and pro- visional orders, 44. Tis year there were 53 railways, 13 tramwas, 49 miscellaneous schemes, and 61 provismal orders, making a total in all of 16 bills. The prin- cipal features in priate bill legislation for next year, as revealed by this list, are the decrease in railway scheiws and the increase of the provisional orders. it is expected that the committee work on privab bills will be lighter in the approaching session than it has been for some years past. The folowing local bills were amongst those for which plans were deposited :— iNortti Jfembrokeshire and Fishguard Kauway I Rhymney Railway; Bite Docks and Cardiff. Further powers: Swansea Harbour: Barry and Cadoxton Gas and Water; Penarth Pier; Swan- sea Bridges Bristol (Totterdown Bridge); Bristol Corporation (Docks); Pontypridd, Caerphilly, and Newport Railway; Cardiff, Avonmouth, and Burnham Railway (SteamersCompany); Taff Vale Railway Barry Dock a.nd Railways Rhondda and Swansea Bay iiailway and Great Western Railway. Midland Railway, additional powers.

RECEPTION BY LADY REED. On Monday afternoon Lady Reed held a recep- tion in her apartments at the Royal Hotel, when several gentlemen and a large number of ladies who have interested themselves on the Liberal side in the recent election called upon her to offer her their congratulations upon Sir Edward Reed's success.

DEPARTURE OF MR HARBEN. Mr Henry Harben, the defeated Tory candi- date for the Cardiff Boroughs, left that town for London on Monday afternoon. Prior to his departure he delivered a valedictory address from the top of the portico at the Angel Hotel to a crowd of some three or f»ur hundred persons. After alluding to the late Contest, and congratu- lating his supporters on the fight they had made, he went on to speak ot his opponent, ana ciiargea him with having been guilty of blasphemy in his public speeches. He was convinced that such a man must sooner or later be visited with the punishment he deserved. In conclusion he wished the constituency a speedy deliverance of Sir Edward Reed. r, Mr P. W. CAREY added a few words, after W^Mr C. J. JACKSON came iorward and said Sir Edward Reed had only just been returned by the skin of his teeth. In the West, South, and East Wards there were thumping majorities for Mr Harben, and the same thing would have happened at Canton bad it not been for the absence of their friend Mr Yorath. At Rciath, however, there had been treachery. There was a certain town councillor there who had been raised from the gutter by Mr Harben to a posi- tion of opulence. He had pretended to be Mr Harben's friend, and had intimated that he would assist in seeing him returned. In consequence of this the canvassing at Roath, which it was thought was done, had been neglected. This man's voice was the first to lead the exulting .1 "I')_ll:_1 _rw "L.- ¿.1 shout which hailed tne xvauioai viuuij wueu uie noil was declared. Not thinking he was observed, he came to that hotel an hour later to condole with his master, who had raised lnni to the position he HOW hoJds. Mr DAVID (solicitor) said the Church party during that contest were accused of responsibility for Lhe disgraceful transactIon wluclI had occurred in a certain chapel at Cathay*. He Imnself had taken a somewhat prominent part on behalf of the Church party, aAd it had been asked why lie I did not disavow this act. Hi" answer to that wa« that he could not insult unurcumen uy con- sidering the possibility of their doing such a thiiur He had just heard that one of the perpe- trators of the deed had been found in Newport that morning, and that he was not a Churchman nnr in anv wav connected with them. Mr L CARR and Mr SPKNCEU (Llandough) next addressed the crowd, after which three cheers were given for Mr Harben and the Queen, and the proceedings terminated. Mr Harben, on leaving for the Great Western Railway Station, was accompanied by a number of his supporters, and loudly cheered. -r-

SOUTH MONMOUTH- SHIRE. THE POLLING. The polling for the election of a member to represent the Southern Division took place at 19 polling places on Monday. The candidates were the Hon. Col. Morgan and Sir Henry Jackson. The entire number of voters iu the division is 11,068, of whom 8,612 are householders. This division is the least augmented of all the Mon- I ..1 r I mouthshire divisions oy the recent xveiorm Act, but the number of electors is greater by over 5,000 than the whole of the county electorate was at the time of the last general election. The districts having the highest number of electors are -Newbridge, 1,521; Cwmbran, 976 Risca, 893 Chepstow, 738. The polling proceeded quietly but rapidly, and by one o'clock over 5,003 electors had recorded their votes. The poll is like:y to be a heavy one and the contest close, the majorities for the Liberal candidate in the mining and in- dustrial portions of the division being considered as almost bearing down Colonel Morgan's popu- larity in the agricultural portions.

MR CARBUTT'S PUBLIC RECEPTION. A mass meeting of electors was held in the Albert-hall, Newport, on Monday evening, to give Mr E. H. Carbutt, M.P., a welcome on his re-election for the Monmouth Boroughs. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity. Mr Alder- man Moses, J.P., presided, and was supported by Mr J. R. Jacob, Mr T. Jones, Mr H. R. Par- nail, Mr Wm. Evans, Mr S. Batchelor, Mr R. W. Jones, Dr. G. A. Davies, and others. On the entry of Mr Carbutt, M.P., and his lady,they were received in an enthusiastic manner. The CHAIRMAN said that although the majority by which the victory had been gained was cer- tainly a small one, the victory itself was large. (Hear, hear.) in 1880 the victory was won by 61; this time the majority was 11 but he was more satisfied this time. When he remern bered all the influences which had been brought to bear against them of every kind and nature, lie was inclined to consider it a splendid vic-ory. He congratulated their opponent' on the way in which they had borne their defeat, and said he hoped as they had demeaned themselves so nobly, the Liberals would bear themselves equally like men, and do the best they could for the welfare and peace of the town. (Applause.) Mr CARBCTT, M.P., in thanking the electors for returning him second time, said he believed the Monmouth boroughs contest would prove to be the hardest electoral battle fought in any of the constituencies. His thanks were due to his committee, the Junior Liberal Association, and the thousand volunteers who bad worked hard to bring it to a successful issue. There had been no --1 1 L \I.n rtn in t.\tn i H A f.ion nam xaoour, uu unucij. — whatever. (Applause.) His thanks were also due to the Liberals of U^k and Mxmmouth, and the only disappointment, he felt was that he had not had the support of more of his Irish friends. (fLe&r, hear.) He had worked hard for them, and he would do what he could in the future to secure justice for Ireland. During the five years he hid rAnrAspntftd the boroughs he had had m<iny pleasant associations with the constituency. had never been a delegate he had always been a representative, and he hoped they would allow him to act independently in the future as they had done in the past. (Applause.) Mr JACOB proposed a resolution congratulating the Liberal party in the Monmouth Boroughs on the success of Eriday# and trusting that it would be followed by such further victories tn the counties as will return Mr Gladstone to power with an effective majority. Mr Jacob suggested that the enthusiasm which had been evolved during the election should be crystallised in the formation of a Liberal cmb, by means of which the next battle would be fought under more favour- able combinations. (Applause.) Mr R. W. JOKES seconded the motion, wbicb was carried unanimously.

RUMOURS OF A SCRUTINY. A Monmouth correspondent writes with regard to this election :—" It is rumoured that some Newport sailors, known to have been at sea on Friday, were impersonated. This, in conjunction with the narrow majority for Mr Carbutt, renders it probable that a scrutiny will be demanded oo behaif of Mr Cordes, the Conservative candidate.
