I GREAT PRIZE-FIGHT. It SULLIVAN MEETS KILIIAIN. SEVENTY-TWO ItOUMDS FOUGHT. A VICTORY FOR SULLIVAN. AHREST OF COMBATANTS. [FROM OUR OWN CORUKSPONDENT.] NKW YORK, Monday Niglit,-There was great indignation yesterday over the press arrangements for witnessing the Sullivan and Kilrain prize fight. No less than 200 special corres- pondents applied personally for tickets but oniy 30 were issued, and many of the prin- cipal newspapers were left in the cold. The special train left New Orleans station at midnight packed with 15 dollar ticket-holders, the ten dollar crowd following 110 hour later. At the trestle bridge over lake Poucliartrain, every ad venturer was compelled to exhibit his ticket, and those who did not possess a pernut were ejected. Sullivan and Kilrain, with their henchmen, left town on Sunday afternoon, each gladiator having a Pullman caacli set apart for him, his luggage, and followers. Just before the train from New Orleans moved away the Acfcorney-General of Jjouisaua went through the coaches in company with the Adjutant-General and one of the Governor s stiff, He snid that in no circumstances must the fight occur on Xjouisana territory, but his utterances were balf-bearted, and the Adjutant-General was observed to wink on a dozen different occasions. On an assurance being given that the fight would not take place in Louisiana the train was allowed to proceed. At a few minutes past four o'clock a despatch was posted up by the Herald, aud the Broadway speedily became blocked. This despatch announced that Sullivan had whipped Kilraiu in 72 rounds. The tight ended at 1.10. The Press Association has received a telegram from New York, dated 4.50 p.m., which states:—There is only one wire from Now Orleans to the battle ground, and that it controlled by the railroad, which does not allow other than railway business to pass ovor it. But information from a trustworthy source re- peats that Sullivan won after seventy-two pounds. Both combatants were arrested after the fight. A special train is returning from New New Orleans, from which place the nubscqnent reports will come. The fight lasted two hours and 13 minutes. Neither combatant was seriously hurt. Rich burg, the location of the ring, is a town- ship virtually owoed by a Mr Rich, a wealthy saw mill operator. There is only a small settlement, which is 100 miles from New Orleans. Last night a large body of mon by the aid of the light of pine-knot torches prepared a ring, and erected benches for ,2,000 spectators. FrolIl all parts of the country came the story of the intense interest displayed ever the great fistic encounter. At Boston a presidential election has never drawn a bigger crowd into Washington-street than that which filled the Newspaoer-row this noon ta get news of the fight. LATER.-Botti men were arrested by the Mississippi sheriff.

THE MURDER OF AN ACROBAT. Nathaniel Currah was charged at Lambeth on Monday, with the wilful murder of George Thomas Gorin, known as Letine, outside the Canterbury Music-hall, under circumstances already weli known. Mr Gill prosecuted for the Treasury, and Mr Clower defended the prisoner. Currah seemed perfectly composed and gazed about the court, turning occasionally towardit counsel however, especially when his daughter's name waa mentioned. Mrs Gorin was present, and appeared much affected. I-ler evidtnce was of the same character as that which she gave before the coroner. Beatrice Currah, she said, was niosc kitidiy treated, and never made any ly complaint whilst attached to the Letine troupe. Other witnesses were called, and gave evidence identical with that which they gave at the inquest. Ultimately the prisoner was remanded tor a weok.

i HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDIY. In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Morley took his seat on the woolsack at a quarter past four o'clock. There were only about 15 peers present. I There was no business of public interest, and the House adjourned at 20 ininuteii before five o'ciock. -r_

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes past three. o'clock, THE ItHYMNEY RAILWAY BILL. The lihyinney Railway Bill was read a third time. THE CONVICTION OF MR CONYBEARE. The SPEAKKR read a letter from Judge Webb, informing the House that on Friday be com- mitted Mr Conybaare, M.P., to Londonderry prison for three months as a first class misdeuieant for having taken part in a con- spiracy to interfere with the administration of the law. The announcement was received with some ironical cheers from the Irish members present. ENGLISH SUNDAY-CLOSING BILL. Sir WILFRID LAWSON presented petitions from Yorkshire and Cumberland in favour of the Eng- lish Sunday-closing Bill. ILLEGALLY SHIPPING PAUPERS. Sir M. HICKS-BKAOH, in answer to Mr Broad- hurst, said the two men fined at Liverpool in connection with the shipping of paupers on the Adriatic were convicted not because they shipped paupers on the vessel, but because they illegally shipped men without first obtaining licenses from the Board of Trade. The owners of the vessel were liable to a penalty, though in the absence of the ship no proceedings could be taken. THE PROCLAMATION OF THE CORK MEETING. Mr BALFOUR, in answer to Mr Flynn, atated that the Mayor of Cork was one of the organizers of the proclaimed meeting in Cork and conse- quently he was net consulted as to the preserva- tion of peace and order in that cíty; (Laughter.) RAILWAY DEADLOCK IN SOUTH WALES. I Sir H. HussEY VIVIAN: I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether it is a f:.ct that all traffic was suddenly stopped on the Noathand Brecon line, and whether be has nken or can take any steps to procure the resumption of traffic, and thus to obviate the great loss and inconvenience to which persons using the line between Swansea, Morriston, and Brecon, and between Neath and Brecon, both as passengers and for the transmission of goods, have been exposed. Sir M. HICKS-BKAOH The Neath and Brecon line was worked by the Midland Railway Com- pany up to the 30th of June last, when they ceased to carry tmffic over thaline in consequence of the failure to obtain satisfactory terms tor the renewal of the agreement. The Board of Trade have received several complaints of the inconve- nience caused by tho discontinuance of traffic. I have no statutory powers in the matter, but I have communicated with the companies con- cerned, and I am happy to be able to inform my hon. friend that the Netith and Brecon Company has succeeded in establishing a service of goods and mineral trains between Brecon and Morriston Junction, and passenger traffic was resumed last Saturday. MINERS' EIGHT HOURS BILL. Mr CONINGHAMK GUAHAM asked the First Lord of the Treasury if it would be possible, before the end of the session, to give a short time for discussion of tho Eight Hours Bill for miners. Mr W. H. SMITH said that the hon. geutleman might, he thought, find such an opportunity if he was desirous of doing so in the closing days of the session. (Lnughter,) THE NEW QUAY POSTMASTER. Mr DILLWYN, for Mr Boweu Rowlands, asked the Postmaster-General whether any appoint- ment has yet been made to the post office at New Quay, Cardiganshire; whether a memorial has bean received by the Government, signed by 623 adult inhabitants of the district, including persons of all parties, in favour of Mr Hugh Davies, who had been employed under the late postmaster for 16 years, and had for eight of those years done all the indoor work; and whether testimonials have been received in favour of Mr Davies from the leading men of the neighbour- hood? Mr RAIKES: In reply to the bon. member, I have to state that no appointment has yet been made to the post office at New Quay. A flume. rously-signed memorial and testimonials have, I understand, been received in favour of Mr Hugh Davies by the Government, and I have no doubt that Mr Davies's claims, together with those of other applicants, will be fully considered by the Lorde of the Treasury, with whom the uomina- tion rests. NEW MEMBER. Mr A. BIRRKLL, the newly-elected member for West Fife, who \8 introduced by Mr Campbell- Baunerman and Mr Muuro Fergusson. took his saat nmid loud cheers from the Opposition benches. THE ROYAL GRANTS. Mr W. H. SMITH informed Mr Labouchere that he would endeavour to place on the paper of the House to-morrow the names of the members of the Select Committee on Royal Grants.

THE MINISTER AND THE BAG OF GOLD. While walking along the streets of Chester last week the Rev J. R, Jones, Pontypridd, the well-known evangelist, late ot Llwynpia, picked up a bag, which be found contained 300 sovereigns in gold. He handed his "find over to the police, and then went to the railway station, where shortly afterwards he was accosted by the owner of the bag, who thanked the rev. gentle- man for his honesty.

RHONDDA LABOUR AND LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. MEETING AT FERNDALE. VIGOROUS SPEECH BY MR T. E. ELLIS, M.P. ADDRESSES BY MABON AND MR FRANK EDWARDS. A very enthusiastic Liberal meeting was held on Monday evening at the Public-hall, Ferndale, with the object of forming in the district a branch of the Rhondda Labour and Liberal Association. The speakers included Mr T. E. Ellis, M.P., and Mabon, M.P., who were met at the railway station by the local brass band and a large crowd of enthusiastic admirers. Mr FRANK EDWARDS, Aberdare, presided over the meeting, and in his opening address, delivered in excellent Welsh, dealt exhaustively with the question of education. Having touched briefly upon disestablishment, Mr Edwards said that ho must declare that be was bitterly disappointed with the action of their venerable leader (Mr Gladstone), when he turned his back upon Mr Dillwyn when the hon. member for Swansea brought his. Disestablishment motion before the House of Commons. Considering everything Wales bad done for Mr Gladstone and the Liberal Party, he thought it was not fair that they should have been turned over in such a way. Mr Gladstone's excuse teemed to him to be worse than his action, for nothing was clearer than that Wales had been for years rife for disestablishment, and Mr Gladstone himself had at the Nottingham conference acknowledged that to be-\tbe case. He (the chairman) wasr proud of their great leader, but they must not' forget lo tell hitn this—that he could not- go on forget lo tell him this-that he could not go on disappointing a nation and expect to retain the I good will and aifectiou of the nation. (Loud cheers.) Having dealt at length with the land question, the speaker resumed his seat amid cueers. Mr T. BKAVAN, cashier at the Ferndale Collieries, proposed, and Mr RICHARD EVANS seconded the following resolution :— That this meeting condemns the shameful in- difference shown by the Government to the national demands of Wales, and emphatically protests against the proposed exclusion of Monmouthshire from the operation of the Welsh Intermediate Kducation Bill introduced by Mr Stuart Rendel. It further records its: abhorrence of the unjust imprisonment of Mr Conybeare, ivl. P., and declares its undated confidence in the Irish policy of conciliation advocated by the Hieht Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P. Mr THOMAS ELLIS, M.P., whose reception WAS of a most cordial nature, supported the motion in Welsh and English. He thanked the chairman for his outspoken reference to Mr Gladstone's conduct. (Cheers.) No one in the kingdom was a greater admirer than be (the speaker) of the venerable statesmen who led tha Liberal forces, but although the right bon. gentlemen's knowledge was extensive and pro- found, he had not yet iearned tbe truth about the condition of Wales. (Loud cheers.) But the blame for this was their own. Proceeding, Mr Ellis said On Saturday Mr Gladstone discoursed on tho blessings of decentralisation. Now, in the United Kingdom, where the four nationali- ties had maintained and strengthened their traditions and spirit, to decentralise govern- ment is inevitably to nationalise it. (Applause.) The county council of Carmarthen had adopted for its motto that admirable political axiom, "Rhyddid gwerin, tfyniant gwlad." The freedom of the democracy is the safeguard of a nation's progress, but free Wales must be self-governing Wales. (Cheers.) This truth is borne upon us alike by the deadlock in the Imperial Parliament, tiie standing hostility of a hereditary House of Lords, the pressing needs of Wales, the analogy of other lands, and the inherent power of the principle and spirit of nationality in the development of popular progress and well-being. (Hear.) Every act that makes for this end we shall welcome; every step that takes us nearer this goal we shall take everything that obscures this aim or blocks the way to this goal we shall resist. (Loud cheers.) This week two decisions l-maring on Wales will be given in Parliament. On Wednesday tho Government will say whether they will include Monmouthshire in the Interme- diate Education Bill. {To exclude Monmouthshire is to cutloff Wales's right hand. (Loud applause.) I trust the Government wiil act wisely. If thsy do not, wo shall abandon the bill and live another year without it, rather than break faith with our own kith and kin. (Applause.) On Friday Scotch disestablishment will be discussed. If Mr Gladstene votes for it, let him place Wales on the same footing. It ought to be in the fore- front. A Presbyterian Establishment in Scotland is at least national. But an Episcopalian Estab- lishment in Wales is not only non-national but anti-national in spirit. (Applause.) Wales has also declared its wish and will more over- whelmingly and unswervingly. The tithe system is in Wales, as it is not in Scotland, a pressing, irritating grievance, injurious alike to religion and to social order. Wo therefore await Mr Glad- stone's action with watchful anxiety. (Applause.) List Thursday's debate and division on t/ie Royai giants had a peculiar interest for Walos, The grav.es were asked for Prince Albert Victor of Wales and Princess Louise of Wales. While the debate proceeded, I asked myself, Why of Wales?' (Hear, ;io-,r.) For all they knew of Wales, or Wales knew of them, they lil;gllt as well ba Prince of Tasmania or Princess of Manitoba. (Laughter.) Wales has become a merely conventional title. Henry VII. taught his sou, Prince Arthur of Wales, the traditions of his native land, and care was taken that ha should cherish the memories and the hopes of Wales. Prince Arthur was untortunately cnt off in his youth, and ever since the Stuart and Hanoverian Princes of Wales have scarcely given a passing thought to the people or the welfare of the beautiful land whose name they bear. They have worn the title, but nursed no sympathy for Wales. This has helped to denationalise the aristocracy and geutry of Wales woefully to their disadvantage. (Hear, bear.) But Welsh nationality has outlived neglect and scorn just as it survived oppression and corrup- tion, and the Prince of Wales will perhaps find it worth his while to take a little interest in the principality. (Cheers.) In every other country in Christendom, aDd beyond, I would imagine, princes pay their subjects the simple and courteous compliment of learning I their language. In asking this Wales wouid, I suppose, be asking too exacting a tribute of its princes and princesses. But at least we might expect them to take an interest in our national institutions. The Prince of Wales and all that is his dance attendance on the Shab at the Empire Theatre, but he cannot help the National Eisteddvod in any more fascinating way than by getting the traditional date changed to ouit his convenience, and then decline to attend. (Loud applause.) His advisers presumably consider thut the presunce of the Queen in Wales for the first time in 50 years, ana the presence of the Prince in South Wales the same year would be too dazzling and effulgent a presence for so simple and primitive people. (Laughter.) And as we are a nation of Nonconformists, the advisers of the Queen have, so it is announced, counselled Pri n'.iess Beatrice to lay the foundation stone of 1 a church of the Episcopalian establishment at Barmouth. (Laughter.) The gracious tiess of this royal act is enhanced for the vast bulk of the Welsh people by the consideration that the rector of this church is a pervert from Nonconformity, and a Church Defence lecturer who reviles, with a pervert's zeal, the religion he has deserted. These intermitted requests for grants to royalty have, therefore, a sinister interest for the Welsh people. But as the years roll on, Princes of Wales will not be content with confining their energies to receptions, races, and theatres in England, and not find a-day in a lifetime to know Wales and its people. (Applause.) They will, as a matter of course, open in person, year by year, the ancient musical and national festival of the Welsh democracy. This will be one of the marks of the recognition of Wales as one of the con- stituent nations of the empire, a nation like the rest, self-governing, self-respecting, and pro- gressive. (Loud and continued applause.) The resolution was carried unanimously, Mr W. ABRAHAM, M.P., who followed, referred in feeling terms to the death of Mr W. R. H. Powell, the late member for West Car- marthen, and moved a vote of condolence with the bereaved family. There were, he said, a large number of Carmarthenshire voters in tbe Rhondda Valley, and he urged these to pay a visit to their home constituency to give a helping band in drumming" out the Tory candidate, Mr Drummond. (Loud laughter and cheers,) The motion was passed with striking unanimity, the whole audience rising to its feet. Mr MORGAN THOMAS moved a vote of thanks to tho .speakers, which was seconded by the Rev Mr Williams, and heartily agreed to.—A similar I compliment to the chairman brought a successful meeting to a close.

His Lordsiiip, iii ciiiti-giug the grand jury for the couuty, said it was a great pleasure to him to be able on this occasion, as oa two former occasions, to congratulate them on the almost entire absence of crime. Such a state of things was highly creditable to the county, and showed that Pembrokeshire still sustained the reputation of bairig a law-abiding couuty. His lordship afterwards briefly addressed the grand jury for the town. The trial of prisoners was ;then proceeded with. BURGLABT.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The Mark lane Express of Monday saya :-To- dsiy is not only vymtly superior to what it was in 1888, but is even better than the promise two years ago. The markets for English wheat ;have been slow, but holders have bad too little to offAr to feel any great discouragement. Purely agricultural exchanges, like Yeovil, have been 6J dearer where sales took place, and a similar fractional advance has been quoted at mixed exchanges like Wakefield, where home and foreign produce divides the demand. The flour trade during the past week has been rather better than might have been expected. At Liverpool on Friday, 6d per sack improve- ment was realised. Foreign wheat at British markets has been the subject of fair enquiry at fully previous price for red grain, and at an oc- casional advance of 61 per or in white. The market for maize has been somewhat uncertain, Glasgow and Leeds being 3 J .per qr dearer, while Bristol has favoured buyers. Liverpool, on Friday, was 101 per ton dearer, and London had a quiet sale at unaltered rates. Barley is firm at the couutry markets. The London market is steady, but not active. Oats advanced fel per qr at several markets. Beans aud English peas are unchanged.

MR BALI OUR AND WALES. A DISCLAIMER. Mr Balfour's attention having been directed by a South Glamorgan correspondent to the con- struction placed in 'Yt']h circles upon bis reier- ence to Wile8-de minimis non-during his racent strictures uu Lord Rosebery's federa- tion scheme, has replied as follows :— "Take what steps you think proper to correct the impression (which, for obvious motives, is being propagated through Wale3 by members of the Gladstonian party) that iu anything I have ever aid there is an intention to insult the Princi- pality. Such an idea is wholly unwarranted and absurd, and if in discussing Lord Rosebery's scheme of Federation I did Dot count Wales as a separate unit in that scheme, it is because Lord Rosebery himself bad abstained from doing so,"

THE SHAH. VISIT TO HATFIELD. The garden party given 0:1 Mouday by the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury at Ht. fiel i House, in hunour of the Shah, was a great success, notwithstanding the threatening weather. About 1,000 guests were present, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and family and members of the diplomatic body. Several exhibitions of skill were given by pro. fessiocal parformers, amcngst these being Captain Fuwier, who showed some ciever feats with riflj shooting at plass balls. A member of the Shah's suite caused some alarm to the guests by under- taking, unsolicited, an amateur performance with oue of Captain Fowler's weapons, but after firing two ruunUs he was persuaded to desist, to the relief of those in charge of the day s programme. Subsequently the Sbab, accom- panied by Prince Aluert Victor, travelled wit-ii his suite to the seat of Earl Brownlow, at Berk- hamstead. Lord Salisbury drove with his Ma- jesty to Haffield Station, where the Shab thanked the Premier for his kindness and hospitality, which he said he would never forget.

NEWPORT. -MONDAY. CRIMPiNG.-Hetiry Warnken, boarding-house keeper. King's Parade, was summoned for harbour- ing two seamen who bad deserted from tbe Bylie of Lagos, and Christopher Simoaonds, run- ner in Warnken'ii employ, was summoued for persuading the men to desert. The Belle called at Newport on NVedneg, iay week whilst on a voyage from Hamburg to Paysandu, and tbe captain, as soou as he reached he Old Dock, found the runner tampering with his crew. He ordered him off, telling him all his men were engaged for the voyage but on the following day found Francois Menuer and John Moller in the Dock Hotel being primed by the defendants. He then threatened them with the police. The two seameu afterwards went to lodge at, Warnken's house; and Menuer told the bench be was supplied with 5s a a day by Simmonds's wife. Moller went to sea in a Danish barque, but Menuer went back penitently to the Belle, and was received by the master, but his bag of clotbos was detained at Waruken's.—Mr Lyndon Moore, for the defence, asserted that Menuer's evidence was a tissue of falsehoods ingeniously mixed with some little shreds of truth. CarefuF inquiry was made of the men as to whether thay had left the ship before they were received into the house. It was shown that the captain bad discharged four of his crew at Newport, and the inference ought to be construed in favour of his clients.-In the result, Warnken was fined £4 and costs, and tbe other defendant 20 and CMt-.

An event of much inteiest in the annals of Euglish Congregation- alism at Llanelly took place on Modday after- noon, viz., the laying of the memorial stone of the new schoolroom in connection with Park Church. Park is the only English Independent cause in the neighbourhood, and was founded some half-a-century rgo as a branch from the good old mother of Llanelly Cl)nreg.tionalim- Capel Als. The first chapel was situate in Park- street-hence the name: but a quarter-of-a- ceutury ago the present handsome edifice was built in Murray-street, and the friends are now erecting to the rear, and through the medium of the same firm of London architects, with Mr Mercer as builder, an excellent schoolroom, which bids fair to be worthy alike of the chapel apd of the town. It will be some time before the school is finished, but it is sufficient advanced to enable the memorial service to be held within its walls. The chair was taken by the energetic pastor, the Rev E. Griffiths Joues, B.A., who called upon Mr Joseph Maybery, a leading member ot the Park, and chairman of the Llanelly Local Board, to lay the stone, or rather stones, supplied by Messrs Reea Jenkins and Son, Llaneily. This done, the chairman described the events which led up to the inception of the present, building, on which and its accee- sories some £2,000 is to be expended, whilst the Park friends expect, by the end of the year. to have raised in subscriptions about a third of that amount, Mr Maybery himself getting a noble example with a donation of £ 50. The Caalfloan, having called on Mr Maybery to ^ay a few words, britfly introduced the Rev J. Ossiea Davies (late of Lianellyj now of London), who had preached the previous div the anniver- sary sermons of the school. Mr Davies made a v°ry inspiring speech, showing forth the necessity of due attention to tbe spiritual welfare of the young. He spoke of what Park Church had done in the P:\t, and trusted they would be in the future au aggressive church. They had produced one noble "-In iii Df Llewellyn Bevan, but he reminded them that the second Llewellyn Bevan was now due—he trusted they would find one within the walls of the near schoolroom. Mr Davies spoke IJ1 high terms ot the master, Mr Jones.—Speeches were also delivered by the R^vs Thomas Davies (chairman of the Welsh Congregational Union), R- Evans (Greenfield, Baptist), and Aldington (Wesleyan).

During the time that play lasted a mist bung over the groutid, and £.11" light was very bad. and under tbe circumstances it was really surprising to eee so many people present, for in the afternoon there must have bet-n quite 5,000 on the ground. Two v^r.v powerfu' teams had been got together, but .-ev"r.tl alterations had been made from the sides that appeared at the Oval, Both Mr Bead and Shrewsbury were chosen, but. the former had to stand out for private reasons" and Shrewsbury, having sprained his wrist at the Oval, W¡k prevented iron: piaying-. Flowers was put in tne team at the last moment, but had they kuown of Shrewsbury's absence in timp they would, probably have asked Frank Sugg.

The Sussex batting completely broke down after 13a runs had been scored. This was due in a great measure to Wright's splendid bowling. The old Notts man took seven wickets for just over 10 runs each. Sussex had taken three hours and a quarter to get their 143 runs, but when the Kent men went in they made llb in an hour and 2b minutes for the loss of but three wickets Present score:- SUSSEX. let.

THE THAMES MYSTERY. OPENING OF THE INQUEST. EVIDENCE OF THE WOMAN'S PARAMOUR. An inquest was resumed at Battersea as to the death of Elizabeth Jackson, whose mutilated 1- remains were found in various parts of the Thames early last month. In opening the proceedings, the Coroner com- mented at some length on the fact of discovery of Fairclougb, the paramour of the deceased, having been announced by the press, and he complained that all through the case the evidence had been anticipated by the newspapers. John Fairclougb, in answer to the coroner, then said he was a millstone dresser of no fixed abode. He spoke to becoming acquainted with deceased towards the and of last September, after ehe had been living with a man whom she called "Charlie," Sha afterwards accom- panied witness to various parts of the country, subsequently returning to London and staying at Millwall until the 20h of April last. On that day he left with the intention of going to Croydon, but deceased would not accompany him. She said she would go to her mother. Witness did not leave her any money, as he had none. Witness then detailed his travels in the couutry, eventually arriving at Ottery St. Maty, Devon, last week. There he was met by Detective-Inspector Tonbridge, who brought him to London. He bad heard nothing I If the remains being discovered. He had heard ackson, who was enceinte, say that she would be glad to gee rid of the child, but be was not aware that she knew anyone to whom to go for that purpose. Witness remonstrated with her. He identified the skirt produced as having been worn by the deceased, but he could not recognise the ulster. At this stage the inquiry was aiijourned. _u-

THE "WESTMINSTER" AND ELEiMENTARY EDUCATION. The Welsh literary jvorld is much gratified -it the extra prominence given in the Westminster Jtcview to the masterly articla on Our Eiemeu- t'ry Schools," written by Mr Beriah Gwyuv Evans. The compliment is regarded not merely as a recognition of the merits of Mr Evans as an educationist, but also as a generous acknow- ledgment of Welsh capacity. No contribution has in recant years excited in the cultured circles of the principality more universal and genuine satisfaction. The Baner, the most representative and popular of Welsh weeklies, devotes two lengthy editorials to a discussiou of the chief points in the article, and purposes to devote to them yat another couple of columns, It explains that Mr Beriah Evans has rendered distinguished service to the causa of Welsh education that be was a pioneer of the healthful radical changes which have now been wrought in our educational system. The Bauer alsa refers to the lucid way in which Mr Evaus lias made plain the perplexities of the new code. The matter to Wales in these days of struggle after fulness of educational life itv, tbobanci- says, of intensest interest, and Mr Evans, by his thoughtful work, has conferred upon Wales another signal service which it is not likely to forget. The Baner (like its contemporaries) appears to thoroughly agree with the argument and conclusions of Mr Beriah Evans. —"Lladmerydd" (Dr John Thomas, Liverpool, ex-president of the Congregational Union of England and Wales), a critic whose austere judg- ment. is never impaired by sontimentalisni, also gives unstinted praise in thaTy&t a'r Dydd to the Westminster arttcle. Mr Evans, remarks Dr Thomas, proves that ho understands the subject of elemeutary education in each of its manifold aspects. Clericalism is bent upon sectarianising education, and it ie. therefore, imperative that the masses should make education a study. Mr Evans has helped to make the vast and all-important theme comprehensible in its general and Welsh relationship, and some method ought to be devised by which the invaluable article shall be brought within reach of the many who do not happen to have ready access to the Westminster. The Genedl congratulates Mr Evans and the Westminster upon the literary connection which has beon so felicitously formed, and believes it is within the limits of accuracy iu stating that Mr Evans is the first Welshman who has figured as a Westminster reviewer. No one has a more thorough knowledge of education in its relation to Wales than Mr Beriab Evans, and all who feel an interest in education should peruse his article. The winds are blowing heavily from the direction of Episcopaiianism, and it is the duty of every friend of liberty: to arise, and assert that the schools sup- ported by the rates shall be under the control of the ratepayers. This is one of the admirable morals enforced by Mr Evans in the Review. -TheLon don correspondent of the Goleuad offers Mr Evans, his felicitations upon the capable literary work which he has done, and the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald impresses upon a wider constituency that wlnie it is an honour to Mr Evans to have attained the first place in the celebrat'-d Review to which John Stuart Mill was wout to contribute, it is no less a piece of good luck for the editor of the Westminster to have secured a contribution on the subject from one who linqtqtudiect itgottiorou bly." The North Walu Observer alludes to the article with unalloyed satisfaction.

JBALFOURISM IN IRELAND. THE ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE AT CHARLEVILLE. STATEMENT BY MR W. O'BRIEN. OFFICIAL SLANDERS INDIGNANTLY REPUDIATED. Dr FLTZQKBALD asked some questions with re- ference to the condition of Mr Patrick O'Brien, who was injured at Charlevillo railway station during the affray there on Sunday week. Mr BALFOUR said be had no means of obtaining any special information on the matter. He had already stated the facts of the matter, and that the injury was received while the police were preventing an attempted rescue of Mr O'Brien. (Loud laughter.) Mr BALFOUR, in answer to a question from Mr John Morley, said he had no reason to believe that Mr P. O'Brien was not injured. but he had no means of ascertaining what was his condition. Mr MORLEY, amid cheers, pointed out that this matter referred to a member of the House- (Opposition cheers)—and he suggested that the Chief Secretary might make himself cognizant of the hon. gentleman's state, Mr BALFOUR rejoined that the right hon. gentleman must be perfectly well aware that he had no means of obtaining information about the injuries of private individuals. (Olr.) Mr SEXTON: Is it alleged that my hon. friend was guilty of violence or incitement to violence ? Mr BALFOUR: That question has no relation to the question on the paper, which related to the specific condition of the hon. member mentioned but I may remind the right hon. gentleman that I have already said in this House that the police requested the hon. member to move away from the place where he was, and that be refused to (-Io so. (Laughter.) Mr W. O'BRIKN, amid loud cheers from the Irish benches, askod leave to move the adjourn- ment of the House to discuss the conduct of the Irish constahniary in firipg upon the people at Charleville Station on Sunday week. The SrKAKKR said he must decline to put the motioa of the hon. gentleman to the House —(oh)—the Lord Mayor of Dublin having already raised the question: in discussing the arrest of Air W. O'Brien last; week. In the course of the debate this particular matter was repeatedly alluded to by hon. gentiemen, and although it was said the informa- tion before the House at the time was insufficient (Opposition cheer,-)-yet it by no means followed thai; the subject could be again debated. Mr SEXTON Do I understand you, sir, to rule that because the proceedings at Charleville were incidentally referred to in the debate last Monday, therefore my hon. friend is now shut out from referring to incidents which were not included in the motion ? TheSpiiAKBR I say the proceedings at Charle- ville were specifically over and over again alluded to. The questions as to who fired the shots, wherever the shots came from, the responsibility I of the constabulary, and the responsibility of the Crown were specifically gone into, and it was admitted that full debate could not take place, because full information was not before the House. I say that that having been discussed, it would be contrary to the meaning and spirit of the standing order that, because more informa- tion has come before the House or to the know- ledge of hon. gentlemen, they should raise the matter in this particular form. I am not at all saying that the matter may not be properly raised. Of course it can be raised on the proper occasions, namely, on the vote in supply. Mr WILLIAM O'BRIEN Of course, Mr Speaker, I bow to your ruling, but as there appears no opportunity for me to discuss the question in isupply, I shall ask the leave of the House to make now a personal statement, inasmuch as I was an I eye-witness of the occurrences at Charleville, and nasmuch as my own veracity and honour are very deeply concerned. I shall try to do it as briefly as I can, and I 6hall confine myself entirely to what occurred at Charleville. Seven armed police- men were in the fir-t-class compartment in which I travelled from Cork, and there were eight more in a ueighbouriing compartment. When I came to the Charleville platform there was no cheering and no commotion. There was a band at the far end of the train, where some persons belonging to Charleville, who bad been in Cork during the day, were getting out. It was to meet these men, and not to meet me, that the band came and if I could go into it I have most overwhelming testimony. It was impossible for the crowd at Charleville that night to have known either that I was arrested or that I was in the traiii. I was arrested only at a quarter to 10 at night, and the telegraph, office at Charleville had been closed from 10 o'clock in the day. The best proof that the people could not have known that I was there was that even the Charleville police did not kuow it, and there were no Charle- ville police on the platform. Tho notion that the bandsmen there that evening knew I was there, or made any organuo:} attempt at a rescue, was demonstratively false and absurd and impossible. And really it makes one almost despair of proving the plainest truths when a story of that kind can be put forward by the' police and seriously defended in this House. (Opposition cheers.) The first the bandsmen learned of my being in the train was what they learned from their friends who travelled down by the same train. They had played two tunes on the platform without any cheering at all before they learned I was in the train. Then, when they did learn it, they did hurry along the plat- form to give me a cheer and to shake hands with me and I cannot imagine how any man in his senses could think for a minute they meant any- thing more desperate. Arrests of this kind are of every day occurrence in Ireland. Men so arrested are considered as objects of congratulation, and certainly not object.s of desperate attempts at rescue, and the crowd knew thoroughly well that I would b'3 released on bail in a couple of hours afterwards, as in point of fact I was. It is really hard to meet with common patience the theory that these few band boys would make a desperate attempt to rescue me from a body of policemen armed to the teeth, with a perfect knowledge that tbo police would be bound to shoot mo rather than give me up. The story the House is now asked to believe, contrary to any distinct public statement, is that these bandsmen played two tunes and then com- menced this desperate rescue by firing shot-s into a narrow raiiway compartment in which I tny- self must have been the first to receive the bullets if any had been fired. It is a woeful sign of the demoralisation of the Irish police that they should attempt to put forward a story of this kind, and obtain credence for it in this House, not only against my statement but the statement of every civilian present, and against common sense. Let me explain what actually happened. The people tried to get a look at me. The blinds had been fastened down, and they could only identify the compartment by a window having been broken at Mallow, where we were within an ace of wanton blood- shed owing to the excitement of the police- officer, Mr Concannon. When they could not see me, the blinds being down, they came to the door of the carriage in the ordinary way to have a look at me. That was their one whole and sole offence duriug the night, and that was the offence for which the police-officer. in an extra- ordinary state of excitement, pulled out biii revolver and said, Load," and one of the policemen said, We are loaded already." I should like to know whether the police will deny it, and if they don't, what a picture of the discipline amongst these Irish constabulary it exhibits Two of the policemen fired their revolvers, one. without the inspector's orders or knowledge. The very instant the people opeued the door the policemen thrust the muzzles of their rifles in the people's faces, and the people fell back. The door was slammed to by Mr Concannon. The people cheered and groaned, but did nothing under heaven in the way of violence. A minute or two elapsed and a ticket collector came and asked for tickets. Mr Concannon instantly seized him and said, We have no tickets." The ticket collector was trying to understand what Mr Concannon, in bis excitement, was saying, when Mr Concannon throttled him, and flung him out with alibis force, and the door was slammed to again. It was at that moment, and only then, that the slightest bit of disorder on the part of the people of Charleville occurred. At that moment a pane of glass in the door was broken: It was by means of a stick, or one of the musical instruments, because no missile of any sort or kind came into the carriage. On the instant, without one word of warning. Mr Concannon discharged his revolver through the window right in the face of the people. I had barely time to say, "My God, you are going to murder the people when two other revolver shots were fired just beside me-at my ear—by two sergeants of police, whom I can identify. No other shot wns fired, and no shot could possibly have been fired from the outside. The train was actually moving when the second and third shots were fired, so that if there had been any danger of rescue, or any danger to human life there was no excuse for the second and third shots. But as I hope for mercy from Almighty, there was not forgone instant that night a bit of danger to the life of anyone. It is a shameful and wicked fabrication, and it is most- The SPEAKER: Order! Order! I have given the bon. geutleman great latitude ID making his statement. That statement might fairiy be made on the motion for adjournment, but I think the hon. gentleman ought to content himself with a plain narrative of his own impression, and not to make charges which cannot be answered now. It ts unfair that he should make anything more than a personal statement just now. A,fr W. O'BiiiEN: I at once fall in with that suggestion, and perhaps I have travelled outside a mere narrative of the facts. I should like to complete that narrative. As soon as shots were fired-and I shall only tell the House what took place between the policemen and myself—I said, "If human life has been lost, if those shots bave taken effect, the most cold-blooded murders ever committed have been committed." District-Inspector Concannon then said, They are after firing at us I thought at first they were stones. We must search the carriage for the bullet marks." I said, In God's name, are you serious ? You know that the three shots were fired by yourselves." No," he said, the police only fired two shots." A«k yonr men" said I, whereupon ho and the four riflemen said they had not tired. The two sergeants to whom 1 I have referred, and whom I can identify, admitted that they had discharged their revolvers.- The district inspector then said to the latter, What becomes or your statement that you only fired two shots ? 1 said to the men, If you are honest men you will bear witness that three shots were fired by you, and that that is admitted." Not a policeman ventured to contradict me all the way along, anrt the district inspector did not attempt to deny it. Again and again I challenged them to point to any injury of any sort that any one of them bad received. One or them pointed to a dent in his helmet. I said, You don't mean to say that is an excuse for taking lives." One of the sergeants said. Ob, there is no harm done." I replied, If there is no harm done it is not your fault; the moment my voice is free you wili hear of this." We bad to defend our lives," said the district inspector, "and we had to defend your life." (Laughter.) Well, this was almost more than human nature could bear. I said, You know thorougbly well that my life; no more than your lives was in danger, and you know very well that I would rather you put a bullet through me than that you should fire on the people—" The SPEAKER The hon. member is certainly now prejuuicing the case. I don't think he ought to continue that line of argument. (Cries of "Ob, oh," and "Shame.") The SPJCAKKR (indignantly): Order! order That is a shameful expression. (Hear, hear, and interruptions,) I have allowed the hon. member great latitude for a persistent statement, (" Oh, oh," and cries of Order and Chair.") He is now making charges that cannot now tio answered charges which it will be quite compe- tent for him to make when the proper time comes and when they may be answered, of course I cannot say with what result. But seeing that the hon. gentleman is debarred from making a speech on the motion for adjournment, lie should not make the speech as a personal ex- I planation. (Hear, bear.) Mr O'BRIEN I respectfully submit I have made no charges whatever. (Order, order.) The SPKAKER: If the hon. gentleman wishes to make any further personal txplanation, certainly it is not my intentiou to prevent him. Mr O'BRIEN continued: I confine myself to the narrative of what occurred between myself and the police, In this, my public statement, I must repeat exactiy what I said to the police, officers, and wish to give a complete narrative of what occurred between myself and the police and with the permission of the House I submit I have a right to do so. If not I must sit down, for unfortunately I shall be debarred from talcing another opportunity. The SPKAKKR: The bon. gentleman has, I think, had full latitude—perhaps much fuller latitude than I ought to have allowed. As he has had full opportunity for a personal explana- tion, I think the matter ought to rest there. Mr O'BRIEN: Very well. sir; I will not press the matter. Mr PARNELL, who on rising was received with loud cheers by the Irish members, said I beg to ask the First Lord, in view of your ruling, sir, that supply should offer an opportunity for dis. cussing this matter, whether the right bon. gentleman will agreo to take the constabulary vote at an early date in order that my hon. friend can go into this matter fully? (Hear, hear.) Mr W. H..SMITH I don't like to depart from the arrangement for proceeding with the Scotch bill day by day until committee is concluded, but I have every hope that I can arrange for the constabulary vote at a time that might serve the bon. gentleman's purpose. (Hear, hear.) The House then resumed the committee etage on the Local Government (Scotland) Bill. iLKFT SITTINa.J

Davies—Mr Rhys, mI behaif of Jacob Rees, architect to tbe Ocean Colliery Company, applied for a summons against the Ysfrad Waterworks Company for a deficient supply of water, aud for supplying water alleged to be unfit for domestic use.

The case will be beard on Monday next,

LLANDAFF. MONDAY.—Before Colonel W: ODS and Messrs J. WATSON and 11. Llwis. ASSAULTING AN OLD MAN—Two yauug mau, giving their names as Harry Holman and Albert Taylor, were put iu the dock to answer a charge brought againBt them by an old man named John Morgau, 53 years of age, of assaulting hiui on Cowuridge-road, on the 7th inst., near the Eiy Schools. The old mall. it appear*, Walivllklilg along the road when ho was accosted by the defendants, who asked for money for two glasbes of betlr. He said he 'had uot got it to give them, whereupon Taylor caught hold of his coat wtiile the other defendant struck him in the face, making his nose bieed. They then let him go on his wav, but it was not for long, as they overtook him soon after, and con- tinued to assault him. Defendants appeared a little the worse for drink wnen they cams up, but they knew what they were doing. Tiiey were goilik towards Ely. When he saw them following him he went into a laue leading to E.y Race- course. but defendants followed him, Asd,-tu,ting him wtJiie there. Taylor did not hit him it was the other defeadaut who had assaulted him so violeutiy, and said he was the very man he Wan- ted to practice on, he being iu a threatening atti- tude ail the while, and bitting plaintiff about the body as if he were a sack of sawdust. They aitet- wards left him.—Prisoners had nothing to say in answer to the ciiarge.-Tayit)r was fiued 10". or 14 days and the other defendant. was sent to prison for a month with hard labour. SUNDAY DRINKING.—Mary A. Travel], landlady I of the Heaihcock public-house, Llandaff W¡'" charged before the same magistrates with keeping her house open for the sale of intoxicating drink on Sunday, the 16',iJ June. Sergeant Cole said that he and another coustable visited the premises at six o'ciock on that day, when tney found nine persons in the house. There were lour in the kirchen—three females and a man. When asked their nsmM they gav3 Mary Rees, Mary Fern^ll, aud Mary Bush but they gave the wrong addresses, saying they came from Penarth, when it was found tha" they all resided at Grangetown. There was no charge against the man. Mr J. H. Jones de- fended all the prisoners, submitting that one of the girli was a friend of tile laa' (I laciyla daughter, who invited them all into the house, and asked I them to stay to tea, which defendants rofuseci, saying they could not stay, whereupon she said they must have something with her. It happened that the sergeant came in ju*t as *he was giving the girls a glass of beereach. She did not know where the defendants lived, but Mary Rees-lier friend- had veryoften visited her at-the public. Daffla(^llu';s were all found at the Vinegar Works, where I they worked, by Sergeant Cole, when be aked them their proper addresses. They were very mnch surprised when ho visited theui, and ex- pressed deep sorrow. Ttt.;y gave tbeir proper addresses. In cross-exainiuafiou, he said lie did uot see any lemonade bottles on the table, or any- thing beside beer. The girlB had visited him since ani expresssd their sorrow at having given the trouble.—Mr Joues summed up, and con- tended that tha giris, when asked their nan»e«, did not refuse to give their right ones, but in order that their parents, who were very re«pectablp, should not know auything of the else, they gave wrong addresses, and that was sufticienf to show their was no harm meant. The case was dis- missed against the landlady, as also were the charges against the girls, there being insuSicient evidence against them.
