--------------THE ATLAS BUJLLDLNn…
THE ATLAS BUJLLDLNn SOCIETY FRAUDS. THE SECRETARY SENT TO GAOL. "Yesterday, at tlJ" Bristol Assize, William Henry Phillips, late secretary of the Atlas Building Society (Bristol), found guilty on Thurs- day of frauds on t:te above society, was sentenced. The jury had recommended the prisuuer to mercy on the ground that they considered the directors tllty of culpable negligence in managing the society. Mr Justice Day, in passing a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment, said the prisoner Would probably not be in his present position but for the gross neglect of the directors.
ZOLA'S WORKS IN ENGLISH.
ZOLA'S WORKS IN ENGLISH. "NOT WORSE THAN DON JUAN." At Bow-street poiice-court, yesterday, Henry Vizetelly, publisher, appeared on a summons charged with publishing obscene libels. Mr Asquitb, M.P., who appeared for the prosecution, said the alleged libels were contained in trans. lations of some French novels, viz., Zola's "Nana/The Soil," and "Piping Hot." The question would be whether or not these were obscene libels.-On the suggestion of Mr Bridge, the magistrate, one book, The Soil," was taken as a test. After proof of sale, Mr Lickfold, for the defence, contended that the book was not worse than "Don Juan."—Mr Bridge committed defendant for trial to the Central Criminal Cuurt. Sail was accepted.

HOUSE OF LOEDS.—FRIDAY. .í
HOUSE OF LOEDS.—FRIDAY. í Their lordships met at a quarter-past", tbreai o'clock, when the following bills received the Royal assent :—Recorders', Magistrates', and Clerks of the Peace Bill Merchant Shipping (Life Saving Apparatus); Railway and Canal Traffic; Consolidated Fuud No. 3; Supreme' Court of Judicature Act (Ireland), 1877, Amend- ment and eleven local bills. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the.wool-^ sack at a quarter-past four o'clock. THE INQUISITION BILL. In moving the second reading of the Members of Parliament (Charges and Allegations) Bill, The Marquis of SALISFURY said that the objoct of the bill was to appoint a commission to examine certain charges and allegations against members of Parliament and others. The agitation which had for the last few years prevailed in Ireland- had gone on two parallel lines. There bad been a party professing to act by constitutional means —and to a certain extent doing so—which had for its main object the alteration of the constitutional relations between this country and Ireland in the ordinary constitutional manner. But, parallel with that movement, there had been a movement of another kind—an organisation that was con- nected with crime, that bad been guilty of violence, intimidation, mutilation, and murder, and that had used these means for the purpose of intimidating their constitutional opponents, and forcing from this country the concession of a change which it was not prepared to aQopt. These organisations bad been professedly apart, but they worked for the same ends. They had the Bame friends and the same enemies, and they injured the same persons. The impression bad therefore, not unnaturally, got abroad that the two organisa- tions were not so far apart as they seemed that there was, in fact, complicity or connection between them. That impression had been given last year by the Times in a series of elaborate articles. After stating the leading facts connected with the.) recent trial of O'Donnell v. Walter, the noble marquis said that the scandal thereafter had ceased to be a scandal resting merely on a newspaper statement, and had become one resting on the statement of a responsible counsel in a court of justice. Still the gentlemen incriminated declined to avail themselves of the ordinary method of clearing their reputations, and demanded that the matter should be referred to a committee of the House of Commons, The Government, however, again 'came to the con- clusion that the House of Commons was not capable of furnishing an impartial tribunal for the trial of a case like this. They thought it better to recur to an inquiry by a commission. For the purpose of appointing such a commission he submitted the present bill, in the belief that such a commission would do good by putting an end to controversies of the most dangerous kind. The Government had nominated in the bill three of the ablest and most impartial members of the bench. Words impugning their impartiality bad fallen from men who should have known better, but those words had not left the slightest stain on the distinguished men against whom they were directed, but had coveted with dishonour the lips from which they had issued. (Cheers.) Lord HERSCHELL repudiated indignantly the imputation cast by the noble marquis upon his late colleagues for taking in the other House the course which they were bound to take if they held the views thay did. He maintained that bis right hon. friends were in no wise to blame. This measure was unfortuuate in its origin, its scope, its object, and in the incidents that had accom- panied its passage through the House of Commons. It would establish a precedent most novel, and fraught with the utmost danger. He regretted that a committee of the other House had not been appointed to investigate these charges as the Irish members had requested. The composition of the commission had been severely attacked, and he must say he should have thought that, in composing sucii a commis- sion, care would have been taken that one at least of its members was in political sympathy with the accused, or, at all events, it should have been ascertained that no objection would be taken to any of the judges appointed. This, however, had not been done, and if he himself were silent as to the composition of this tribunal, it must not be taken that he approved of it. He strongly objected to draggiug the judges from their proper duties into the arena of political battle, and, while he bore strong testimony to the personal integrity of the Attorney-General, he expressed great regret that he should have been called into consultation by the Government in respect to this bill, and also that there should have been an interview between Mr Walter and Mr W. H. Smith. He feared that the inquiry would embitter the relations between Englishmen and Irishmen, and that the bill before them would be fraught with consequences that would regret. The Earl of CARNARVON supported the second reading. After some observations by the LORD OHAN- CELLOR, The Earl of KIMBERLEY criticised severely the conduct l'f tÍle Government, in regard to the appointment of this commission, and said that he Leard from men of high eminence remarks which couvincd him that a greát error had been made in the composition of the commission, although he rliv. not doubt that the judges would discharge their duties with impartiality and uprightedness. I At:itacr;rn<c ;¡""¡.¡d that the iadeas pointed .)1} this commission were as ablo and as impartial nen as could be selected from the judiciary (If any country. I Earl GRANVILLE contended that this inquiry I ought not to have been committed to judges, but, as the Irish members debited, to » committee of the House of Commons, which could have been composed of thoroughly impartial men. I Tha Earl of DEUBT, speaking as a Liberal J Unionist,said th*t they accepted the bill,as under ) all thu circumstances, necessary and wise. I The oil! was road a second time, the peers on the front Opposition bench saying not con- tent." MISCELLANEOUS. Lord HKRSOHELL postponed the second reading of the Oaths Bill to the November sitting. The Royal Assent was given by commission to the Llangammarch and Neath and Brecon Junctiou Railway Bill. The sitting was then, at ten minutes past eight o'clock, suspended in order tbat bills in progress in the House of Commons might, later on, be brought up to their lordships' house,

DOG AND POULTRY SHOW AT INEATH.…
DOG AND POULTRY SHOW AT INEATH. LIST OF AWARDS. Tha 13th annual show in connection with the Neath Horticultural Society took place at Neath on Thursday. The secretaries (Messrs W. and M. Wbittington) left nothing undone to promote the success of the event, whilst their assistance proved very valuable to the members of the press. The entries, on the whole, compared very favour- ably with former occasions. There was, however, a great falling off in the fruit, owing to the un- favourable season. The exhibits of vegetables were surprisingly good, and elicited the highest encomiums. The show of dogs, both in point of number and of quality, exceeded the most san- guine expectations of the committee, and the awards gave unqualified satisfaction. The judges were:-Flowerfs, fruit, honey, and vegetables- Messrs Muir and Pettigrew dogs, Mr Itaper, Sheffield poultry, Mr Martin; canaries, Mr D. McLellan; pigeons, Mr Viner Leeder. The following is the list of awards in tbe dog and poultry departments DOGS.

Yesterday's play at Clifton gave a much better idea of the excellence of tbe wicket than that of Thursday had done. On the opening day 16 wickets fell for 297 run,, whereas yesterday 372 ruws were scored and 14 wickets went down. The cricket produced a great batting triumph for Gloucestershire, who, going in to bat at the minutes to ore, were not dismissed until a quarter past six, the Englishmen scorine in this time an innings of 312 runs. There were three fine displays of cricket, Mr W. G. Grace s 51, Mr Radclrffe's 99, and Mr lVwnsend's 92. The two latter gnti-nien both had hard luck in missing their 100, Mr Radcliffe being caught at the wicket when he only wanted a single to reach hi, three figures, and Mr Townsend being out to a brilliant citch by Boyle when 92. The Australians' innings iaswd just an hour, Trott and McDonald help- ii:g to r.iise the overnight "core of 83 to 143. The Aus- tralians, with an innings to play, have 384 runs to get to win.

The Surrey innings, in which 424 mnt; bad been made overnight for the loss of five wickets, ended yesterday at 10 minutes past three for 698, the highfest "total ever "btai;ied in England in a first-class match. Deducting all intervals, tLe duration of the innings was eight hours and 50 minutes. The previous best score in English matches of first-rate importance was Surrey's 650 this season aatinst Oxford University. Mr W. W. lt 'ad increased his Thursday's score of l"24 to 171, an i was at last caught at the wicket. Altogether he was batting for four hours and 35 minutes. His itally magnificent innings comprised one 5. nineteen 4's, ten 3's, and twelve 2 s. Mr M. P Bowden made an even bigger score, taking out his bat for 189. This was a remarkable display of free hitting, the young batsman I knocking the worn-out bowling all over th<' field. Susses made a wretchedly poor show. Lohmanii bowled admirably, and, considering the condition of the wicket, had a splendid average. Score SURREY. 1st Innings. Pnd Inninp. Abel, c A. Hide, b J. Hide.. 53 Shuter, b A.

The annual inspection of the 2nd Battalion Walsh Regiment, now in camp at Aberavon Moors, took place on Friday afternoon. The inspecting officer was Colonel Rawlins, commanding the 41st Regimental District. There were present 915 officers, non-com- missioned officers, and men. formed into eight large companies. The men fell in at 3.30 P.M., and formed up into line. The inspecting officer was received with a general salute, after which the ranks were inspected. The men were then put through some movements by Colonel Vivian, the commanding officer, and were afterwaros formed into line. Major Jones, who acted as senior major, was then called to the front, and put the men through the manual and tiring exercises. Majors Joseph and Trick and Captain Lloyd put the battalion through some movements very satisfactorily, after which the men formed into quarter column. At the close the inspecting officer addressed them, and said this was th" second occasion on which he had inspected a volunteer battalion, and it gave him very great satisfaction to say that he was extremely pleased with the appearance of the men and the state of the camp, which was very cleanly and neatly kept, the kits being arranged in a thoroughly soldierlike manner. Tne Government were at present arranging for home defence, and he felt very confident that when the home regiments were called abroad the volunteer battalions could fill their place in defence of their hearths and homes.-Au error crept into our report of the sports held on Thursday. The first prize in the tug of war fell to the Taibach coppennen and the seaond to the Taibach colliers, and not as stated in our report. The comfort of the volunteers during their stay in camp was well attended to by Captain and Adjutant Foley, Quarter-master J. B. Davies, and Sergeant-Major Pratt.

LOUIS, Friday.—Maxwell was executed at two minutes to nine o'clock this morning fur the murder of Mr Preller. r ICRNTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM.] ST. Locis, Friday.—The man Maxwell, con- demned to death for the murder of Mr Preller, was informed yesterday that the intervention of the British Government—the final effort of his friends—had failed, and that he would be banged the following morning. The convict displayed considerable agitation, as up to the last he had been confident of a reprieve. At midnight be dictated to a stenographer the following address to the English people I declare pulicly that the boasted fairness of the American courts is a sham. The prosecution in my case resorted to every means to secure a conviction, even to crime, all when they caused a witness to commit forgery in order to get him confined in the same cell with me with a view to worming statements out of me. This same man now admits that on the witness-stand he told lies if he thought that would be best for the prosecution. He has also admitted receiving money for his services. Other instanceg could be given if I had time. My lawyers offered to prove, to the Governor of Missouri that a juror stated be was going on the tury to convict me, but the governor said this was not important. He ignored the request of the English Government for a reprieve on the ground that it was not intended thereby to interfere with the due course of the law and the discretion of the state authorities. I have seen it stated in the newspapers that the governor ought not to accede to the application of the British Government, because I am an Englishman, and England IJ"d ignored the interference of the United States Government on behalf of O'Donnell, the slayer of the informer Carey." When dictating this statement Maxwell was somewhat incoherent in his manner, and spoke hurriedly. Later in the night he sent for apriest, ^ith whom he was closeted for a long time. The priest states that the condemned man has made a confession, but bis reverence declined to say any- Sling further on the subject.
--___----THE NAVAL MANOEUVRES.
THE NAVAL MANOEUVRES. EXPECTED BOMBARDMENT OF CARDIFF. RUMOURS OF ATTACK. Rnmours were afloat in Cardiff yesterday morning that one of the attacking vessels had slipped up she channel and had entered Cardiff Roads with the view of blockading the port. There was considerable excitement, naturally, at the Docks, but it appeared on inquiry that the rumours were not founded on fact. It is quite expected that Cardiff will be blockaded before the naval operations are over, but the attack will of course be of the nature of a surprise. The vessels which are now engaged in making individual attacks are not very large, and if one of them appears at Cardiff she will have to penetrate a considerable distance through the roads. Later on in the day the rumour assumed a fresh shape. It was confidently asserted that the Iris bad come up the Channel and had bombarded Lavernock. Several imaginative particulars were added to the effect that the guns at the battery bad returned fire, and that the warship had to beat a retreat. As a matter of fact, no man-of- war has been sighted from Lavernock. A vigilant look-out has been maintained, because the enemy is expected to make an attack at any moment. If the fort is bombarded, however, no reply can be made without special instructions from the War Office. There are at present only a sergeant and four gunners in charge, and they would require to be reinforced. THE CAPTURE OF LIVERPOOL. The fleet which captured Liverpool on Thursday left the Mersey yesterday at half-past twelve, their destination being unknown. The Mayor of Liverpool states that he was not waited upon by any officers from the enemy's fieot, lIe was not asked for nor did he give any indemnity as has been stated. ANOTHER LINER CAPTURED.

This makes the ninth Atlantic liner she has captured since Wednesday. Admiral Baird bas taken no steps to check her destructive career among the i^ rcantiio fleet up to the present.

.... HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock. PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION. Mr COURTNEY moved a number ot amendments in the standing orders. He said similar amend- ments had been made in the standing orders of the other House. They had a threefold object in connection with private bill legislation. The first was to distinguish between tramways and tram- roads, with the view of giving the authori- ties additional control over the latter. So- condly, to simplify the law relating to tbe publication of parliamentary notices of private bills, both in respect to scope and repetition. Henceforth, two publications of such notices in the local newspapers will be sufficient, instead of three as heretofore. Thirdly, to require that certain bills not hitherto so treated shall be brought specifically before the public departments affected by them. The motion was agreed to. PRESS TELEGRAMS.' Mr COCHRANE BAILLIK asked if the Govern- ment would promote legislation to relieve the country from the loss incurred in the sending of press telegrams. Mr RAIKKS said tho charge for this class of messages rested upon the powers conferred by the Telegraph Act of 1869, and he feared it would be difficult now to muke any change. The question of further legislation on the subject was one for the Eirst Lord of the Treasury. THE MURDER OF PRELLER. Sir J. FERGUSSON informed Mr Kelly, who asked on what grounds the Government had interfered in the case of the murderer Maxwell at St. Louis, that it is usual for foreign Governments to solicit inquiries into the justice of judicial sentences upon their fellow subjects when there ia thought to be a prima facie ground for such an inquiry. THE ARREST OF SWANSEA MEN IN FRANCE. Sir J. FERGCSSON, in answer to Mr Dillwyn, said that a full enquiry into the circumstances of the arrest of Messrs Underwood and Blight, of Swansea, at Dunkirk, in June, had been made by the Government, who were satisfied with tha explanations of the French Government. The French military commandant, who acted from an excess of zeal, had been reprimanded. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Sir TINDAL ROBERTSON, referring to a recent report addressed to the Governor of New Y ock as to the best mode of carrying out tho sentence of capital punishment, asked the Home Secretary if he was prepared to adopt any of the methods recommended — execution by electricity, the injection of morphia, the lethal chamber, or any other scientific and humane system. The HOMIt SECRETARY had seen the report. Her Majesty's Government were not prepared to introduce any legislative measure on the subject, but ho would undertake that the question raised should receive careful consideration. THE ELECTION OF COUNTY COUNCILLORS. Mr RITCHIE, in reply to Mr Bigwood, expressed his opinion that members of the police force were not debarred from voting for the election of county councillors. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL, J On thE) consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Local Government (England and Wales) Bill, a number of amendments were agteed to without d i8cnssion. Mr PiCKERsaiLL moved that the House should disagree with the amendment the effect of which was to exempt the Recordership of London from the provision which took away from the corporation the right of appointment to judicial offices. Scarcely a month ago the House abolished a scandal which, outside the narrow circle of the corporation, had been regarded as indefensible, and he appealed to tbe Government to adhere to the view they then expressed. Mr RITCHIE pointed out that the recorder had for centuries two distinct functions, the one judicial and the other administrative. As far as the judicial functions were concerned it was not proposed that he should have any power unless he was appinted for the purpose by the Crown. All that the amendment proposed was to leave with the corporation of the City of London the light of appointing a high officer, known as the recorder, to perform municipal duties. Slt H. JAMKS regarded Ule wsttteaaof ea' importance, and announced bia intention of sup- porting the motion for disagreeing with the Lords. He granted that they bad very little concern as to who was selected for the ,administrative duties of the Recordership bntit would be invidious to call upon the Crown to decide whether the person chosen by the corporation was fit to exercise judicial functions. He wanted to know who was to perform those functions if tbe Crown vetoed the appointment of the Recorder. Much as he objected to elected judges, he would rather have bad the old system than this middle course. Mr Firth, Mr Bowen Rowlands, and Mr H. Fowler opposed, whilst Sir C.Lewia and Sir* K. Fowler defended the Lords' amendment. Sir, CHARLES RUSSELL held that the amended clause would provide no guarantee that the person choseu for the recordership was the person best fitted to* discharge the judicial functions of that office. Mr HOWELL and Mr BARTLEY opposed the amendment, but it was carried on a division by 119 votes to 86; majority, 33. The remaining amendments were agreed to. with some verbal arguments. A PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr HEJTRY FOWLER wished, before the House1 parted with this very long bill, to say a word of rather a personal character. It bad fallen to his lot to be one of the most persistent and perti- nacious opponents of the Government in the pro- gress of the measure, and he should not be doing justice to bis own feelings if he did not express his high appreciation of the admirable manner in which the President of the Local Government Board bad piloted it through the House. In the conduct of a great billT involving complicated questions they all knew bow much depended upon the engineering. He did not think there would be any exaggeration in saying that no minister of modern times bad conducted an important measure through the House with greater fairness, courtesy, and temper—(cheers)—and he desired to include in the compliment the Secretary to the Local Government Board for the admirable assistance he bad rendered in the passing of" one of the greatest measures that the House had \tifrii of late years to deal with. (Hear, hear.) The Hotise of Commons had devoted itself to the work with as small a modicum of party spirit as it would be possible to contemplate, having regard to the system of party Government. Mr RITCHIE felt more than he could express the very kind words of the right bon. gentleman, who had stuck very closely to the business while, the bill was being discussed. During their inter- course while the bill was in progress he had had, on many occasions, to.thank the right hon. gentle- man for the assistance be had rendered to him in making the bill really workable and satisfactory. The Government started with the intention of making it ø. bill not of one party, but of the House of Commons. He was gratified to think that, with aid from all parts of the House, that object had been carried out. (Hear, hear.) WELSH COLLEGES AND THE MORTMAIN BiLL. On consideration of the Mortmain and Charit- able Uses Bill, as amended by the standing com- mittee, Mr BRYN ROBERTS moved that the University College of North Wales at Bangor, of Wales at Aberystwyth, and of South Wales and Monmouthshire at Cardiff, should be exempted from the mortmain tax. When London, Durham, and Victoria Universities were exempted be did not understand on what policy it was proposed not to exempt tbe Welsh university colleges. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was exceedingly sorry that be could not adopt the ameudinent of the hon. member. Sir A. ROLLIP pointed out that there was a, clear distinction between the cases which were mentioned by the hon. member and the cases dealt with in the amendment. The cases men- tioned were degree-giving universities, and not such university colleges as were scattered throughout the country. A number of bills were read a third time, and the House adjourned at 11 o'clock.

THE EDUCATION COM-L MISSION.
THE EDUCATION COM- L MISSION. FINAL REPORT. IMPORTANT RECOMMEN- DATIONS. THE VIEWS OF THE MINORITY. LONDON, Friday Night. The Press Association states that the final report of the Royal Commission on the Education Acts was issued to-day. The final recommenda- tions of the Commissioners are given in part 7, but then follow at great length reservations, and a further report by a minority of the mem- bers. The following are the leading conclusions, ¡, and recommendations of the commission SUPPLY OF SCHOOLS. That under the present conditions of elenren- J tary education, the commission accepts the existing rule, and, allowing for all reasonable excuses for irregular attendance, school seats should be provided for one-sixth of the total. population, and that, on the whole, the demand for school accommodation has been fairly met. That the power of deciding on the claims of schools to be supported out of the parliamentary grant be retained by the depart- ment, and not be placed in tbe hands of a local body. That in any future education legislation no transfer of a school held under trust should take place without the consent of a majority of the trustees, and thai the department should not sanction such terms of transfer as interfere with the original trust beyond what is required for the purposes of the Education Act, and that provision should be made that no structural expenses involving a loan should be incurred without the consent of the trustees who lease the building. The commission see no reason why voluntary effort should not be entitled to work pari passu with a school board in providing accommodation to meet an increase of population, and are of opinion that if a similar inquiry was held every five years, voluntary effort might be recognised in the interval between the two inquiries as entitled to meet any deficiency not ordered to be filled up by the school board on the requisition of the department. The Act of 1870 would not, they think, be violated by such an arrangement. SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. The commission condemns the system of management by teachers.and recommends that all voluntary schools should be placed under a body of managers. Parents, if not a preponderating element, should be represented on the committee of management, but so long as voluntary schools do not receive aid from the rates, there seems no sufficient reason why the management clauses of their trust deeds should be set aside. It strongly recommends some form of voluntary combination by which voluntary schools could receive instruction by experts in cookery, the rudiments of elementary ^science, and other useful subjects that the accounts ot voluntary schools should be open to public inspection, and that it would be advantageous for school boards, especially the larger ones, to associate with themselves local managers., in the supervision of their schools. INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS. The commission is of opinion that it is neither wise nor fair to prevent elementary teachers from rising to tho rank of inspectors, and that the opening to such teachers of the highest offices in connection with education would tend to elavate the character of their profession. Adequate knowledge of natural science should have special weight in the future appointment of inspectors, that the inspector's assistants should be chosen from the pick of the elementary teachers, and that the initial salary should be raised to £200 a year. TEACHERS AND STAFF. Under this bead the commission recommends that the minimum staff of teachers should be con- siderably increased. That in fixing the qualifica- tions required of teachcrs, those of natural apti- tude and love for teaching who have not received a college teaching should not be excluded. That the salaries of teachers should be fixed, that a superannuation scheme should be established, by means of deferred annuities, supplemented by the Education Department out of moneys pro- vided by Parliament. Regarding pupil teachers, the commission upholds and recommends the system of apprenticeship, the age being limited to 13, and the period for five years, with a condition that the apprentice could withdraw from the agreement at the age of 16, if he found himself to be unsuited for or disliked the profession. TRAINING COLLEGES. The contention that it is wrong for the State to contribute towards denominational training colleges is obviously inadmissable, so long as 69 per cent. of our elementary schools, containing 56'37 per cent. of the scholars are themselves denominational, and comes too late in the day after the State has entered into binding engage- ments with these institutions. Supposing the relations of the State and the denominational training colleges ^ill, not be seriously disturbed, the comihij^'ion see no reason why residential training colleges hereafter estab- lished on denumiaatioual principles should not receive grants, and that ic would be doubtful economy for the State to^tempt largely to reduce its maintenance grants to the present colleges. Whiio unanimously recommending that the experiment of day training for teachers and of day training colleges should be tried on a limited scale, tbe commission strongly expresses its opinion that the existing system of residential training colleges is the best. It also recommends that an experiment should be made of training non-residential students in connection with local university colleges, but 110 portion of the cost of establishing or maintaining new day training colleges should fall upon the rates. ATTENDANCE AND COMPULSION. The commission recommend that the minimum age for half-time exemption from school atten- dance should be 11, and the minimum age of full time exemption 13. It is the duty of the State to step in between children who are employed in theatres and those parents whose cupidity seems to make a profit ont of their employment, and the commission recommends that the law on the subject be strengthened. A remedy would be to fc^ing theatrical employment under the Factory BKHGIOCS AND UOBAL TRAINING. While the commission desires to secure for the children in public elementary schools the best and most thorough instruction in secular subjects, they are also unanimously of opinion that their religious and moral traiuing is a matter of still higher importance alike to the children, the pareuts, and the nation. There can be no doubt as to the opinion of the country generally on the subject of religious and moral training in day schools, and all the evidence is practically unanimous as to the desires of the parents for the religious and moral training of their children that to secularise elementary education would be a violation of the wishes of parents, whose views in such a matter are, thoy think, entitled to the first consideration, The only safe foundation on which to conuruct a theory of morals or to secure high moral conduct is the religion which the Lord Jesus Christ has taught the world, and the evidence doe, not warrant the conclusion that religious and moral training can be amply provided otherwise than through the medium of elementary schools. The commission remarked upon the general satisfaction given to the parents by their existing system of religious training, and object to recom- mend the suggested plan of religious instruction to be given by voluntary teachers on the school premises out of school hours. The commission expresses its Conviction that the conscience clause is carefully observed both by teachers and managers, but, nevertheless, recognise the itn- portance of removing, if possible, any suspicion of unfair play or undue influence in the administra- tion of that clause from the minds of those who entertain such impressions. Exactly the same facilities to hold annual examinations jn religious knowledge is recom. mended to be given by law to board schools as are now allowed tt. the managers of voluntary schools, and increased support is recommended to be given by the State to the moral element training in our school^ general fundamental and fixed instructions to H.M. inspectors being also laid down as to moral training. In the section relat- ing to the curriculum of instruction the commis- sion recommends that permission should be given to Wales to t-ke up the Welsh language as a specific subject, to adopt an optional scheme to take the plaoa of English as a class subject, founded on the principle of substituting a graduated system of translation from Welsh to English for th present requirements in English grammar, to. teach Welsh along with English as a class subject, to include Welsh among the languages iu which candidates for Queen's scholarships and for certificates of merit may be examined. As to manual and technical instruc- tion, the comajiasion state that by technical instruction We mean in the scientific or artistic principles which underlie the industrial occupations of the people (includ- ing especially handicrafts, manufactures, mining and agrtcnltural labour, and in the manual practice invohed in the application of such principles, and »ay it is desirable that the manage- ment of technical instruction should be entrusted to the Education Department and not ;to. the Science and Art Dspartment. As regards various cles of elementary' schools," the commission recommend that the state' should continue to recognise voluntary and board schools as together foxing the national provision for elementary education, that both ought to continue to participate on equal conditions in the parliamentary Rtant. In the case of elementary schools and education, the commission recommends Hat the state should recognise the distinction between elementary and secondary education to a greater ex- tent than h'8 been aa yet attempted. The commission, in dealing with Parliamentary grants," say that while it is desirabla to retain in some form or other each of the three constituent elements of the variable grants which depend respectively on the inspector's report on the child, the a88. and the school, the following modifications of the present system woulq offer the maxiinujp of relief with we minimum of disturbance -(I)-that tne ed grant be increased: to ten shillings per cbjld in average attendance.—(2)— that the conditions on wbcih too variable portions of the grant are tow made, be M far modified as to secure that ttie amount shall d-aptmd on the good character 01 the scbooL and on the quality of the acquirements, of the grraV majority of tbe scholar, rather than on tho exact number of children who attain the miniment standard of required knowledgs. (3) That individual examination should be treated not as a means "f individual assessing grant, but BiwljTM tatiwi the general pro&itc&M »ll tha scholars. (4) Tint scliccls should be assisted according to their deserts, so as to promote efficiency, whilst no uudue pressure should be placed on dull children, and unnecessary anxiety and worry caused to managers and teachers. (5) that the average amount of the variable grants should in present circumstances be not less than 10s; (6) that in distributing the variable grant special stress should be laid upon efficieucy in the three elementary subjects. The report is signed by Lord Cross (chairman), Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Harrowby, Earl Beauchanip, Mr F, Londin, Mr J. F. Rigg, Mr R. Gregory, Mr T. D. C. Morse, Mr J. G. Talbot, Mr S. G. Rath- bone. Cardinal Manning, Lord Norton, Mr Francis R. Sandford, Mr B. F. Smith, and Mr C. H. Aldershou, the latter five commissioners signing subject to reservation. RESERVATIONS AND MINORITY RECOMMENDATIONS. Cardinal Manning says he has willingly signed the renort of the Royal Commission on Elemen- tary Education because in the main be agrees in its conclusions and recommendations but it has not treated of the one subject which he believes to be chief in importance and of the most vital influence in the educa- tion of the people of England and Wales. It cannot be believed that in the year 1870 it was intended to place the voluntary system in a posi- tion of such unjust inequality in relation to the new system of board schools. By the interpreta. tion of the act of 1870 a practically unlimited multiplication, paid for out of the school rate, has been given to the board school system. From the voluntary system the power of multiplication has been practically taken away, not only by the refusal of State aid m building, but by the frequent refusal to recognise schools founded by unaided voluntary effort. This unequal treatment of the two systems has also caused for the last 17 years a most unequal competition, in which in every branch of expendi- ture, the board schools are able to outstrip the heavily weighted system of voluntary schools. The most sanguine friends of the voluntary system cannot believe that it will ever recover the whole population of England and Wales. Neither can- the most devoted advocates of the board school system believe that it can ever.' extinguish the voluntary system, which is the shelter of the religious liberty of the people, and of the rights of conscience in parents, and gives freedom to the inextinguishable religions de- nominations of our country. We therefore stand at apoiut at which we are compelled to choose one of" two courses, either to perpetuate our present fragmentary educational legislation which hitherto has grown up piecemeal, involving the gravest inequalities m the measures of State aid, burdening thereby the supporters of the voluntary system with the maintenance of their own Christian schools, and with the payment of rates for a system which they con- scientiously reject, or of framing some higher, morei comprehensive, and more equitable law by which these unjust inequalities shall be redressed. Some new and larger statute for national educa- tion, equal and common to all, ought to restore the liberty of multiplication to the voluntary system, and to eliminate the contentions which now exist, to the serious injury of our schools. Lord Norton signs the report with a reservation on the subject of the parliamentary grant. His lordship thinks that the present mode of parlia- mentary support of national education by payment on piecework in detail should not enly be modified, as the report proposes, but entirely abandoned. Sir Francis Richard Sandford says he cordially agrees with the report as a whoie, but to some points he takes formal objection. He suggests that the Education Department should be guided by conditions prescribed by statute in deter- mining what schools are to be recognised as public elementary schools contributing to the efficient school supply of a district, and therefore entitled to claim annual grants. The managers of voluntarv schools so recognised should be entitled to continue to give, at their own cost, in these schools distinctive religious instruction to all children not withdrawn by their parents under the provisions of the conscience clause. Tho local authority of the district (whatever it may be here- after) should grant to the managers of efficient voluntary schools an annual payment out of the rates, not exceeding a certain fixed sum per head, for the proficiency of the scholars in secular subjects. Ven. B. F. Smith, archdeacon of Maidstone, while cjncurring generally in the recommen- dations of the report, says he should desire to see the methods of distributing tha parliamentary grants upheld and improved rather than radically altered, as he regarded the results already attained, however far they fall short of perfection, as distinctly a success, and not a failure. He fears that the rigorous enforcement of a duplicate examination of every school, which is recom- mended in the report, would prove cumbrous and costly, and he cannot concur in tho recom- mendation of the report that voluntary schools should be able to claim annual support out of the rates. Mr C. H. Alderson, second Charity Commis- sioner for England and Wales, though in general agreement with the report, says he is opposed to the retention of the present system of standards, except so far and so long as they may be required for passing children on to labour. The Hon. E. Lyulph Stanley, Sir John Lubbock, Bart., M.P., Sir Bernhard Samuelson, Bart., M.P., Dr Dale, Mr S. Buxton, M.P., Mr T. E. Heller, Mr Henry Richard, M.P., and Mr George Sbipton present a joint report of great length, setting forth their reasons for dissenting from the report of the majority of the commission. They state that the proposal that voluntarv schools sliouid be enabled to claim aict from tLJ9 rates would reopen the v/hole settlement of 1670; and further, while they recog- nise that tho formation of the character ot the children attending elementary schools is of paramount importance alike to the children, the parents, and the nation, they fear that the recommendation regarding religious instruction contained in the report would load to a renewal of bitter disputes and rivalries, which were and are happiiy subsiding. On the subject of school supply, they dissent from the impression conveyed in the report, which is that the Education Depart- ment has strained the law in favour of school boards and againsb the recognition of denomina- tional schools. In general, they cousider that the pupil teacher system is now the weakest part cf our educational machinery, and that great ciumges are needed if it is to be continued in the future. As to training colleges, they do not think that the report does justice to the greatness of the need for better training. In reference to attendance and compulsion, thsy record their opinion that more emphasis should be laid on the want of thorough teaching in our schools as a reason for the lack of interest and consequent bad attendance of scholars. They are also unable to agree with the report in omitting to condemn the manner in which compulsion has hitherto been administered. They think the evidence shows that the magistrates generally have failed adequately to support the local school authori- ties in supporting the law, especially in relation to the obligations of the Act of 1876 as to children between 13 and 14, which has become largely a dead letter through the opposi- tion of the magistrates. In reference to the recommendations of their colleagues as to religious and moral training, they repeat their strong opinion that in the education of the young- tho formation of the character is of the highest un- portance but having regard to tho great diversi- ties of opinion of their countrymen in religious subjects, and having serious doubts whether moral training can be satis- factorily tested by inspection or examination, they do not believe that the recommendations contained in this portion of the report of their colleagues would promote the object which they desire. They recognise that for the great mass of people of this country religious aud moral teaching are most intimately connected, and that in their judgment the value and effectiveness of the latter depend to a very great extent upon religious sanctions. They think that the present liberty of religious teaching recognised by the law for local managers is an ample security, and so long as tha prevalent opinion of the county remains unchanged the education of the children and the formation of their character will be based upon these principles, which are so dear to the mass of the people. In reference to the parliamentary graut and to pay- ment by results, they are of opinion that the best security for efficient teaching is the re-organiza. tiun of our school system and to form local autborites over sufficiently extensive areas, with full power of management and responsibility for maintenance, with well graduated cnrricula, a liberal staff of well trained teachers and buildings sanitary, euitaole, and well equipped with school requisites, that it should be the duty of the State to secure that all these conditions are fulfilled, and to aid local effort to a con- siderable extent, but leaving a sub. stantial proportion of tbe cost of school management to be met from local resources other than the tees of scholars, and by inspection to secure that the local authority is doing its duty satisfactorily. Such a system, in their opinion would enable us to dispense witb the present system of State grants. In the meantime, as the system they prefer catmot, in deference to existing denominational interests, be secured, they recom- mend that there be a material change in the method of distributing the grant, that a larger fixed grant be given m consideration of increased requirements in the matter,of staff, premises, and curriculum, and that more money be given towards specific educational objects. Further aid should be given to small rural schools, which especially need such aid, and must bo costly, and the grants should be larger to managers whose fees are low than to those who have a large fee income. Mr Sydney Buxton makes a further reservation on the subject. The arguments and the evidence are, it seems to him, on the whole in favour of the introduction of a system of free IIChools-a. system however, not compulsory, but permissive. The same terms ought to be offered to voluntary as to board schools, namely, that the managers j of any and every public elemen- tary school scbould, if they desire the abolition of the fee. be entitled to demand an additional annual grant from the consolidated fund. This additional grant might be calculated on the general average of the fees charged throughout the elementary schools of the country, and depend on the average attendance at the particular school in question. In a further report the Bon. Lyulph Stanley Dr Dale. Mr Heller, Mr H. Richard, and Mr Sbipton discuss in detail tbe evidence taken by the commission dealing with the grievances of Nonconformists. They express the opinion that all tbe evidence goes to show that the conscience clause of the Act of 1870 is very rarely violated. On a review of the whole question. however, they come to tbe conclusion that the conscience clause; is wholly ineffective, and that the protection it is supposed to offer to parents whose children are attending schools where the religious instruction is contrary to their own belief is illusory. The commissioners recommend tbat in districts where there CuD on,y one °^cieQt school the school should be under public management, and ought not to be used as an agency for maintaining the religious faith of any particular daooiaination, but they do not propose that religious instruction should he excluded from board schools i., iti districts where there is only a board school the religious instruction may be unacceptable to many of the parents, and a con- science clause wills till be necessary.

Ernbleton, sends particulars of the death of William Jenkins, of Tip-row, Hafod, Swansea, who was one of the erew. The Embleton left Swansea on the 2nd of June, oound for Naples, and thence to the Black Sea. On the return voyage, when near Dart- mouth, there wsts a heavy sea running and a wind blowing hard. The crew were engaged in getting the anchor up. Jenkins was" fishing the cat- hook," when lie fell, or rather, was washed over- board. The steward threw a loose deal to the poor fallow, and one of the sailors,cast a life baoy to him, but unfortunately the engines were going full speed ahead at the time. Speed was stoppad and a boat was lowered, but Jenkins had dis- appeared.

CORRESPONDENCE, THE LIBERAL THREE HUNDRED OF PEMBROKESHIRE. 10 Thk iUMTOK. SIR,—In a receut issue of your valuable ps;>er the attention of the above association wa» called to the registration of parliamentary voters and of couuty electors within its sphere, but tile repre- sentatives of the people stnl appear indifferent to a most important duty. They are aware perhaps that a County Electors' Act has lately beeu pas>eci, and, in pursuance of the provisions of that act, a precept, supplemented to that issuers ill connec- two with the Registration Act, 1885, has beeu sent by the cleric of the peace for tile couuty to the overseers of each parish, directing tiieiu to make a list of all persons entitled to be registered as parliamentary voters and as county electors, such list to be made out in three divisiong: Division I. to comprise the Dames of the persons entitled to be registered oulii u, parlii meutary occupawou voters and as county electors; division II. to comprise the names of persons eutitied to be registered as parliamentary occupation voters other than lodgers, but not as county electors; Division III. to comprisa the names ol persons eutitied to be registered as coouty electors, but not as parliamentary voters. Considering tLe un- settled state of the political atmosphere, aud the unfi.igging zeal of the Primrose League, may we see each member of the only Liberal organisation we have in the county setting to work with earnestness In his owo district. A list of voters aud electors can be obtained of the overseers of the parish upon the payment of a small sum. Tue overseers, not haying perhaps thoroughly mastered the instructions of the precept, may have drawn out the list improperly or imperb ctiy, and there- fore shouli not a committee of Liberals be cjn- veued in each district to consider aud scrutinize the list ? We should cot neglect home politics while soaring in higher regious.-I am, Jtc PARLIAMENTARY VOrE&.

MR W. ABRAHAM, M.P., AND THE NAN XAI LL\ N DIFFICULTY. TO THK EDITOK. SIB,—I see that there is no eud to the clever- ness of our opponents m the Nantmelyn difficulty. A day or two after I had written my last letter there appeared a latter in your issue, signed by one who called himself Work- ing Man," iuviting Mr Abratiau- to state agaiu what he had proposed to the Nantmeiyn workmen. I have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that the said Working Mau was not a cOlàlminer, but a urin who is ciose^y Clm- necued witn the oHiciais of the ^Vautuieiytt Colliery, although a solicitor's clerk. Permit me, sir, to inform tiie pupil that neither Mr Abrauaiu nor myself ma.de speech at the meeting at which the former made kuown the propositions of the sildiug-scale committee to the Nantmelyn work- men, but we both were ordered to withdraw, aud so we did. I veuture to challenge auyone to c,-Ille torwardand prove that the Nantmeiya dispute is a proper case for the sliding-scaie committee, or, in other words, that the slidicg-scaie was founded to deal with such cases, or that tbey have arbi- trary powers. We shall not taae Mr Abraham's evidence as to what took piace at the meeting of the sliding-scaie committee when the Nair.meiya dispnte was first introduced, for he was not present, and I might further state that it a ids nothing to Mr Abraham's ci.gnity that ho offers us such fabrications. I should l,ke to asic Mr Abraham how could he give the Nantmeiyn workmen any guarantee that the dispute should be settled within a month?' I un, extremely sorry that my last letter has been the means of drawing Mr Abraham's old mau to the front. In his former letter, he denounced me as being OR the down-grade path," and iu his last letter he seems to imagine that be was coming torward "lid putting his toot on my throat but let me inform Mr Abraham that right is rignt after all, and tbat right most conquer might in the tnd. la reference to this proposition wiac the interpreta- tion of the sliding-scale members' manifesto in this dispute should have referred to a third pany. I should never object to that, provided that I shouid be permitted to explain ail the tacts an i circumstances before such a tribunal, as essential to give the proper interpretation aud effect of the manifesto.—I am, fcc., AU D.'MORGAN.

I see from tbe discussion on this subject last night, in Par. meut, that Mr D. A. Thomas (Merthyr), s, u.at there i. uo) such word as angau" in t. Welsh language, that it should be "angeu.); i do not know wilat may be Mr Thcmas's authority for making such a statement, but I have no hesitation in saying that v Very much mistaken.

In an old Welsh Bible, published in 17f7, as well as in others of a later date, up to 1863, the word death is uniformly rendered "angau," and never ""angeu," as Mr Thomas am, &c., THOMAS WALTERS.
