It was offered to the Pentre detachment of the Salvation Army, but not accepted by them.

CRICKET. AUSTRALIANS v. LIVERPOOL AND DISTRICT. A good and interesting day's cricket was witnessed yesterday on the prettily situated ground at Aigburth, near Liverpool, the Australians being opposed by a team selected by Mr A. G. Steel, and consisting en. tirely of local cricketer: The weather was fine, though a trifle cold, and about five thousand spectators visited the ground. Deciding to give some of their best men a rest before the England match, the Austra- lians left out Jones, Garrett, and Blackham, and played Pope, who appeared for them against Middle- sex. The Australians won the toss, but, contrary to expectation, were dismissed by twenty-five minutes to five for 152. Mr A. G. Steel, Smith, and C. Shore all bowled well, and were backed up by some really brilliant fielding. The best batting was shown by GifTen and Mcllwraith. When Liverpool went in Mr A. G. Steel played magnificent cricket, and once moie proved his immense value. He made tJ5 out of 97 during his stay. and hardly made a bad hit. Altogether the Liverpool men are to be complimented on having done so well against their formidable opponents. Score :— AUSTRALIA NS. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings.

There was a very long day's cricket at Tunbridge yesterday, in this return match, play lasting from ten minutes past eleven until seven o'clock. There was a prospect of Kent following on when stumps were drawn on Thursday, as with half their wickets down the home team were 131 iins in arrear. Thanks to the cautious batting of Mr A. J. Thornton, however, this disgrace -.vas averted, and after nine wickets had fallen the total only fell 18 short of that of Sussex. Going in after the luncheon interval, Sussex lost three wickets for 45 runs, but Humphreys batted well, and after the fall of the fifth wicket at 113, Mr Thomas and Mr Blackman hit away so brilliantly that 83 runs were added in an hour. Mr Thomas was at the wickets an hour and 55 minutes, and his splendid innings of 76 included twelve 4's, three 3's, and a 2. The; ninth wicket of Sussex fall at 222, but Phillips and Arthur Hide defied all efforts to part them d'.j-ing the last hourjand when stumps were drawn, Sussex, with nine wickets down, were 293 runs to the good. The day was bright, and the attendance large. Score SUSSEX. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings. Tester, b Wootton 130 c A. Thornton, b A. Hearne 13 Quaife, b A. Hearne 9 c & b A. Hearne 10 Bean, c Harris, b A.

Vcry bright pleasant weather favoured the second day's play in the Gentlemen v P layers match at Ken. nington Oval, and some capital cricket was shown. The players, who had overnight scored 81 for two wickets, resumed their inuings at five minutes past 12, and stayed in till a quarter to five, the total reaching 321. Arthur Shrewsbury played splendidly, increasing his previous score of 42 to 127. He was at the wickets altogether for four hours and a half, and obtained a complete mastery over the moderate bowling of the gentlemen. His big hits were 8 fours, 11 threes, and 18 two's. His best supporters were Maurice Read and Barnes, the latter helping him to put on 73 runs for the fourth wicket, and his partnership with React taking the score from 163 to 262. Read's 64 included 7 four's, a three, and 9 two's. Mr W. G. Grace bowled much the best for the Gentlemen, and took four wickets for S5 runs. Being 138 to thb bad, the Gentle- men went in for the second time at a few minutes after fire. Messrs Radcliffe and K M. Grace made a capital start, but on Lohinann going on to bowl three wickets quickly fell. Afterwards Mr W. G. Grace batted in his best form, and at the call of time he was 50 not out, the Gentlemen, with six wickets to fall, being still 27 runs to the bad. Mr W. G. Grace has already scored 115 runs in the match. There was a fairly good atten- dance. Score GENTLEMEN. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings. W. G Grace, c Abel, bFlowers 65 not out 50 E. M.

SHOCKING IMMORALITY AT NEATH. At the county police-court, Neath, on Friday, William Jenkins, collier, Skewen, was summoned by Margaret Williams, of the same place, for bastardy. In cross-examination by Mr S, T. Evans, who defended, complainant admitted that this was her fourth illegitimate child, and that she had been in service at no less than eight public-houses in Neath. She was now staving at a house of low reputation, called the White Hart. Neither of the witnesses could recollect any dates, and the bench, considering the whole of the circumstances, dismissed the summons.

DANGEROUS PRACTICES BY CHILDREN AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police-court yesterday—before the Mayor, Dr Paine, and Mr J. W. Vachell- Richard Dando (13), John Young (11), and William Evans (13), were charged with having placed a trolly on the Great Western Railway on the 6th inst.—Mr T. H. Ensor prose- cuted.—It appeared that on the day in question the prisoners trespassed on to the railway near Adamsdown, and, when there, found two pairs of wheels. One of these they placed on the up line, and the other on the down line. In a very short time the Chepstow train was due on the up line and the mail train on the down line, and if the obstacles had not fortunately been noticedand removed, the results might have Ibeen disastrous The bench considered the offence to be a very seri- ous one, but believing that it was done thought- lessly, they sentenced Young to receive six strokes from the birch rod, and the other two prisoners to receive 12 strokes. William Ashe (13) was next charged with having placed an iron bolt upon a line on the Rhymney Railway on the 28th ult.—Mr T. H. Stephens prosecuted.—One of the firemen on the Rhymney Railway deposed that he was taking a' train of iron ore from Cardiff, when he I saw some children playing near the line. Suddenly the engine began to jump, where- upon he immediately stopped it. On examination he found a large iron boJt lying withm one of the rails.—Subsequent witnesses proved that the prisoner was the delinquent.—He was sentenced to receive six strokes from the birch rod.

FOUR CHILDREN AT A BIRTH. The wife of Daniel Robinson, a labourer, of Milton, near Northampton, gave birth yesterday week to four children. Tlie first survived only a few hours, the others were still-born. The mother died the same day. Upon the particulars of the case being reported to the Queen by Mr J. A. Bennett, relieving officer and registrar, the snin of two pounds was immediately forwarded by Sir H. F. Ponsonby.

ITALIAN IMPROVISATOR! AND PENNILLION SINGERS. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—I dare say that some Welsh antiquaries have already pointed out the similarity between the Italian improvisalori and the Welsh pennillion singers. The likeness, as shown in the following- extract from Longfellow's Life (vol. 1., p 141), is so striking that I have copied the passage and send it to you. The date of the letter is Florence, Jan., 1828.—I am, &c., J. SPENCER CURWEN. Tonic Sol-fa College, Forest Gate, London, July 15. "It was there (at t party at Florence) that I saw for the first time an improvisatore. I was talking with a gentleman in the corner of the romn, when from the opposite end I heard the sound of a piano, and a moment afterwards a voice, neither singing nor declaiming, but something between these. I tumed to listen, and was told that it was an improvisatore. He was singing the invasion of Italy by Hannibal, with a good deal of action whilst another person accompanied his voice upon the piano. The next subject given him was "The Battle of Navarino." He paused for a few moments, then commenced in the same recitative tone as before, with an accompaniment, and without any hesitation. After this a list of rhymes was written down upon a sheet ot paper and nine different subjects given him, each of which he was obliged to adapt to those rhymes, composing extemporaneously nine different pieces of poetry with the same endings. I did not understand Italian well enough to judge of his performance, but the occasional applause bestowed upon him by those who did understand led me to conclude that some parts were beauti- ful, if not brilliant."

A PERFECT LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINE for 10s 6d. Within the reach of all classes, RRIHE MOLDACOT POCKET LOCK- o STITCH SEWIG MACHINE. The Times of July 9th, 1886, says: A remarkable step in advance in simplifying the sewing machine has been made by a German gentleman, and the practical nature of the invention was recently demonstrated. The new machine has not a wheel in it, and may be described as the working parts of a good sewing machifie deprived of all extraneous details and con- densed within the smallest possible compass. It measures only 8in. high by about 2in. wide and lill. deep. It is fitted\at the foot with a screw clamp, by which it ca.n be fixed to the edge of a tahle alllIfairly worked by a child. The working motion consists of a vertical plunger pressed downwards by the finger from the top, th plunger being returned "into position for the next push by a spring. It makes a perfect lock- stitch, and will sew all kinds of fabrics, fine or coarse, within certain reasonable limits. Beyond its efficiency, it possesses an advantage which appeals to all—namely, that of economy in price. So small is its cost that it can be purchased for about a day's waie of a foreman mechanic. This will bring; it well within the reach of the masses, whom it is specially intended to benefit. It is certainly a remarkably cheap and efficient machine."

UFFICES.-58, COLEMAN-STREET, LONDON. E.G. THE MOLDACOT POCKET SEWING -*L MACHINE COMPANY, LIMITED. PROSPECTUS. The primary object of this Company is to acquire, upon the terms and conditions herein ift.er mentioned, the Patent Rights for the Unit-d Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (dated December 17th, 1835, iiumoered 15.13) for the Moldacot Pocket Lock-stitch Sewing Machine, an invention which, in the opinion of those well qualified tri judge, is destined, on account of its extraordinary cheapness, efficiency, and porta- bility, to effect a most important revolution in the Sew:ng Machine industry. The advantages of this unique and remarkable invention may be briefly summarised as follows 1.—Price—The retail selling price being" only 10 6d, the machine is within reach of the liiillio"- While conferrin reat boon upon the poorer chisses it is, on account of its elegant appearance, utility, and portability, indispensable in every household. 2.—Size—The machine in its entirety and ready for immediate use is o small that it is packed in a box 8 in. long, 2 in. wide, and 1 in. deep. 3 —Weight.—Tlie Machine weighs under lib. 4.-Efficiency.-The Moldacot is a perfect Lock- stitch Sewing Machine, and will take any kind of material, from tin; finest linen to the stoutest cloth. 5.—Simplicity and Durability.—The Machine has no whee s, and its general construction is so simple that it cannot possibly tret out of order. A chiiii can learn i's use in a few minutes. It is as strong an 1 durable as any machine of the most expensive character. The history of the Sewing Machine is probably more striking than that of any trade speciality, and from no other ource have larger fortunes been realised. Howe, the originator, notwithstanding the almost prohibitory prices at wl1kh in his day machines were sold, derived upwards of £ 100,000 per annum from the invention. Subsequent inventors were even more successful, and among those who have occupied pro- minent positions in this important lrranch of trade may be iiaine(I Messrs Wheeler and Wilson and Messrs Sinsor and Company. The former tirm is reputed to have divided for many years an income of £ ^.00,00tl per jiniium, while t-lie proprietor of the Singer Machine left at hi? decease nearly E3,000,000 sterling. The attention of Inventors and Manufacturers has for years past been persistently directed to the intro- duction of such improvements in Sewing Machines as would materially lessen the cost of production, s i as to popularise and hring" thein within the reach of all classes. The degree of success hitherto attained in these respects has been by no means remarkable, see- ing the high prices at which Lock-Stitch Sewing Machines are retailed. Moreover, as regards weight and bulk, no machine can compare with the Moldacot, which, Oil account of these special characteristics, lias been appropriately named a Pocket Sewing Machine." rnHE MOLDACOT POCKET SEWING X MACHINE COMPANY, LIMITED. Notwithstanding tho unprecedentedly low price at which the Mohlacot Machines call be retailed, the profit to the Company, after allowing trade discounts to wholesale as well as retail agents, will be con- siderable. It is not proposed that the Company shall undertake the manufacture of tho machines, thus avoiding a large outlay of capital and saving much ex- pense in management. Tenders have been received from eminent Manufacturers for the supply of the machines at prices which will, in the opinion of the Directors, leave a minimnmjlrofit of 2sudper machine. The Company in carrying on its business will also possess an immense advantage from the fact that it will not have to maintain the costly retail establish- ments which are found to be necessary by existing firms in the Sewing Machine trade. The public will be supplied with the Moldacot Machines chiefly through agents in a great variety of trades, such as Cutlers, Drapers, Dressing Bag Makers, Fancy Dealers, House Furnishers, Ironmongers, Instrument Sellers, Stationers, Watch and Clock Makers, Berlin Wool Deilers Opticians, Hosiers, Outfitters, Sewing Machine Dealers, General Dealers. It is obviously impossible to estimate the exact extent to which these machines will be sold, but, having regard to the fact that more than 7.500 shop- keepers and others, residing in all parts of the United Kingdom, have alreallyapplied or are negociating for agencies, it is reasonable to assume that upwards of one million will be disposed of during the first year, and that by judicious advertising the demand will extend to five millions of machines before the lapse of three years. This estimate is the moro consistent becau-e an entirely new, and, indeed, the largest class of buyers (whose wants on account of expense have never yet been supplied) will readily welcome the introduction of this machine. In order to pay a d vidend of 50 per cent. per annum, the sum of E30,000 will be needed, and this profit will, Oil the above estimate, be forthcoming from the sale of only 340,000 machines. after allowing £12,500 per annum for the cost of advertisements and expenses of management. Large as this sale may appear, the statistics of the trade (which, it most he remembered, apply to far more expensive and in every way less attractive machines than the Moldacot) shew that it is anything but an extravagant estimate; oil the contrary, the expectation of a probable sale of at least One Million Machines per annum is more likely to lie realised, in which event the net profits divisible among the sharer ho tiers should amount to considerably over 150 per cent. per annum.

In discounts not much was doing. Bills having three months to run were taken at lg per cent. The Paris Cheque Exchange was telegraphed 25 "21. Stock Exchange Markets to-day have been quieter. Speculative demand has, however, pre- vailed for American and Canadian Railways, which have gained in strength.

A CARDIFF MERCHANTS TRAVELS. i 1,000 MILES ON HORSEBACK, Mr Edmund H. Watts, of the firm of lvftg,4v§ Watts, Ward, and Co., of Newcastle and Cardiff, recently undertook a long Eastern journey for trade purposes. After having stayed six months in India, he finished his work at tho top of the Persian Gulf, and determined to return by an alternative route in order to see something of Persia and the Caspian. Leaving Bombay by railway he visited the famous Peshawur and the Khyber Passes, and thence recrossed the Persian Gulf to Oman, once the seat of a powerful Sultan, who is now held in check by an English colonel and a handful of sepoys. At Bushire Mr Watts reached the starting point of his long ride of 1,000 miles. He passed through the Garden of Eden, which was disappointing in the extreme. The tree pointed out as being the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was not more than 20 years old. However, a tree of some kind was necessary. He saw the Shah's fleet, consisting of one steamer, and after leaving Bushire en route to Shiraz, lie fell ill, obtaining medical advice by telegraph from Ispahan, 450 miles off. Mr Watts visited Persepolis, Ispahan, and Teheran, a densely-populated town, containing many miles of bazaars roofed in like arcades. At Baku he entered upon the petroleum region, and found that on the Caspian Sea the steamers burn the oil for fuel, and there is consequently very little smoke and no dust. So far as trade is concerned, England holds her own in the south of Persia; but in the north it is monopolised by Russia. Mr Watts, as before stated, is a Cardiff merchant, and has an office at 59, Mount Stuart- square.
