AFFAIRS IN THE SOUDAN. THE BRITISH TROOPS TO BE RE- INFORCED. COLONEL WODiiMOUSE UNABLE TO ATTACK. [CENTRAL NKWS TiCLEGRAM. | CAIRO, .Monday,-The expedition against the Dervishes is the absorbing topic of interest here, especially in military circles, and news from Colonel Wodebousa is anxiously awaited. There is an almost universal opinion amongst the officers of the British army in Cairo that he should be strougly reinforced without delay. They consider it significant tbat, although his resistance to the advance of the Dervishes has proved so far successful, the advance has, never- theless, certainly not been coaverted into a retreat. The Press Association states that the following L 9 telegram from the general officer commanding in Egypt has been received by the Secretary of State for War: Cairo, Sunday.—Wodehouse telegraphs 6th July as follows: Saw enemy clearly at 4 p.m. to-day describing a long thick line about two miles Ion;?. Estimated strength, about five thousand, with three huudrod camels. They are moving slowly northerly. Wodehouse is not strong enough to attack, but is following with available troops in steamers. A message just received, dated Serrah, 9 a.m. Sunday, seports having again seen enemy, and confirming above estimate. He recommends the collection of a strong force at Assouan.

GREAT PRIZE-FIGHT. 01> SULLIVAN MEETS K1LRAIN. SEVENTY-TWO ROUNDS FOUGHT. II A VICTORY FOIt SULLIVAN. ARREST OF COMBAT-A NTS. I [FROM OUET OWN CORIIESPONDENT-1 Nitw YORK, Monday Night,—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 priu- 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 au hour later. At the trestle bridge over lake Poucliartrain, every adventurer was compelled to exhibit his ticket, and those who did not, possess a permit were ejected. Sullivan and Kilrain, with their henchmen, left town on Sunday afternoon, each gladiator having a Pullman ca?.ch sot apart for him, his luggage, and followers. Just before the train from New I Orleaus moved away the Actoruey-General of Louisana went through the coaches in company with the Adjutant-General and one of the Governor's Bbff. He said that in no circumstances must the fight occur on Louisana territory, but his utterances were half-hearted, 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, and the Broadway speedily became blocked. This despatch announced th:it Sullivan had whipped Kilraiu in 72 rounds. The tight ended at 1.10. The Press Association has received a telegram from Nnv York, dated 4.50 p.m., which st,ates:-Tijere is only one wire from Now Orleans to the battle ground, and that is 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 seveuty-two pounds. Both combatants were arrested after the fight. A special train is returning from New New Orleans, from which place the subsequent reports will come. The f i o,, I i tlasted two hours and 13 minutes. Neither combatant was seriously hurt. Richburg, the location of the ring, is a town- ship virtually owoed Ly 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. From 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 tu get news of the fight. LATER.—Both men were arrested by the Mississippi sheriff.

THE MURDER OF AN ACROBAT. Nathaniel Currab 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 well known. Mr Gill prosecuted for the Treasury, and Mr Clower defended the prisoner. Currah seemed perfectly composed and gazed about the court, turning occasionally towards counsel however, especially when his daughter's name was mentioned. Mrs Gorin was present, and appeared much affected, Her evidence was of the same character all that which she gave before the coroner. Beatrice Currah, she said, was most kindiy treated, and never made any complaint whilst attached to the Letiue troupe. Other witnesses were called, and gave evidence identical with that which they gave at the inquest. Xjltimately the prisoner was remanded tor a week.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Morley took his seat oil the woolsack at a quarter past four o'clock. There were only about 15 peers preaent. There was no business of public interest, and the House adjourned at 20 minutes before five o'clock,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes past three, o'clock. THE ItHYMNEY KAILWAY BILL. The lihyinney Railway Bill was read a third time. THE CONVICTION OF MB CONYEEARE. The SPEAKKR read a letter from Judge Webb, informing the House that on Friday be com- mitted Mr Conybeare, M.P., to Londonderry prison for three months as a first class misdemeant 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 ot 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, stated 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 ot peace and order in that city. (Laughter.) RAILWAY DEADLOCK IN SOUTH WALES. 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 Neath and Brecou line, and whether be has 'kelJ or can take any steps to procure the resumption of traffic, and thus to obviate the great loss and ii-iconvenionce to which persons using the line between Swansea, Morriston, and Brecon, and between Noath 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 traffic over tha line 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 Neath and Brecon Company has succeeded in establishing a service of goods and mineral trains between Brecon and Morriston Junctiou, and passenger traffic was resumed last Saturday. MINERS' EIGHT HOURS BILL. Mr CONINGHAMK GRAHAM 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 dayi 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 been 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 bad 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 hon. member,! have to state that no appointment has yet been made to the post office at New Quay. A nume- 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 nomina- tion rests. NEW MEMBER. Mr A. BiRKKLt, the newly-elected member for West Fife, who was introduced by Mr Campbell- Bannerman and Mr Muuro Fergusson. took his ssat amid 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 Grauts.

JBALFOURISM IN IRELAND. THE ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE AT CHARLEVILLE. STATEMENT BY MR W. O'BRIEN. OFFICIAL SLANDERS INDIGNANTLY REPUDIATED. Dr FITZGKKALD 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 MORLKY, 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. (Oil.) 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 j the question on the paper, which related to the I specific condition of the hon. member mentioned but I may remind the right hon. gentleman that I I bavo 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 do so. (Laughter.) Mr W. O'BBIKN, amid loud cheers from the Irish benches, askod leave to move the adjourn- ment of the House to discuss the conduct of the Irish constabulary in firipg upon the people at Irish benches, askod leave to move the adjourn- ment of the House to discuss the conduct of the Irish constabulary in firipg upon the people at Charlevdle Station on Sunday week. Tlie SFKAKicR said he muse decline to put the motion of the hon. gentleman to the House -toll)-tile Lord Mayor of Dublin having already raised the question: in discussing the arrest of Mr W. O'Brien last, week. In the course of the debate this particular matter was repeatedly alluded to by hon, gentlemen, and although it was said the informa- tion before the House at the time was insufficient (Opposition clieer.-)-yet it by no means followed th.i L 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 incideuls which were not included in the motion ? The SPICAKKR I say the proceedings at Charle- ville were ;-pecitically over aud over again alluded to. The questions as to who fired the shots, wherever the shots came from, .the responsibility of the constabulary, and tbe responsibility of the Crown were specifically gone into, and it was admitted that full debate oould 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 boo. 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 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 shall confine myself entirely to what occurred at Charleville. Seven armed police- men were in the first-class compartment in which I travelled from Cork, and there were eight more in a neighbouring 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 had 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 train.- I was arrested only at a quarter to 10 at night, and the telegraph office at Charleville bad 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 know it, and there were no Charle- ville police on the platform. The notion that the bandsmen there that evening knew I was there, or made any organise.) 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- tniug more desperate. Arrests of this kind are of every day occurrence in Irelnnd. Men so arrested are considered as objects of congratulation, and certainly I not objects of desperate attempts at rescue, and the crowd knew thoroughly weil that I would bo released ou 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 the 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 shots into a narrow railway compartment in which I my- 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 fasteued 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 tho excitement of the police- officer, Mr Concannon. When they could not see me, the blinds being down, they came to the door of tha carriage in the ordinary way to have a look at me. That was their one whole and sole offence during the night, and that was the offence for which the police-officer, in an extra- ordinary state of excitement, pulled out his 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 opened the door the policemen thrust the muzzles of their rifles in tbo 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 all his 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 paue of glass iu tbe 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, iNIr 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 eli--by two sergeants of police, whom I can identify. No other shot W;\s 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 bad 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 forone 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 hon. gentleman great latitude in making his statement. That statement might fairly 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 is unfair that he should make anything more than a personal statement just now. Mr W. O'BaiKN: I at once fail 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 toll the House what took place between the policemen and myself—I said, If human life has been lost. if those shots have 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," ha said, "the police only fired two shots." "ARk your men," said I, whereupon he and the four riflemen said they had not tired. The two sergeants to whom 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 ot 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, and 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 of them pointed to a dont in his helmet. I said, You don't mean to say that is an excuse for taking lives." One of the sergeants said, Oh, 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 bad to defend your life." (Laughter.) Well, this was almost more than human nature could bear. I said, "You know thoroughly 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 prejudicing the case. I don't think be ought to continue that liae of argument. (Cries of "Oh, oh," and Shame.") The SPKAKKK (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, ob," and cries of Order and Chair.") He is I now making charges that cannot now be 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, he should not make the speech as a personal ex- planation. (Hear, bear.) Mr OBRIEN I respectfully submit I have made no charges whatever. (Order, order.) The SPEAKER: If the hon. gentleman wishes to make any further personal explanation, certainly it is not my intention 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 exactly 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 SPBAKKR: The bon. gentleman has, I think, bad 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 weil, sir; I will not press the matter. Mr PARNKLL, who on rising was received with loud cheers by the Irish members, eaid 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 hou. 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 hon. gentleman's purpose.

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 ou Monday evening at the Public-hall, Ferndale, with the object of forming in the district a branch of the Rbondda Labour and Liberal Association. The speakers included Mr T. E. Ellis, M.P., and Mabou, 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 nieetitip, anl 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, be 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, aud Mr Gladstone himself bad at the Nottingham conference acknowledged that to be-ithe case. He (the chairman) was proud of their great leader, but they must not forget lo tell him this—that he could not go on disappointing a nation and expect to retain the good will and nifactiou of the nation. (Loud cheers.) Having dealt at length with the land question, the speaker resumed his Beat amid cheers. Mr T. BEAVAN, 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 Kducatiou Bill introduced by Mr Stuart Bendel. It further records it" abhorrence of the unjust imprisonment of Mr Conybeare, M.P., and declares its undated confidence in the Irish policy of conciliation advocated by the Kiftht 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 the Liberal forces, but although the right bon. gentlemen's knowledge was extensive and pro- found, be had not yet learned tbe truth about the condition of Wales. (Loud cheers.) But the blame for this was their own. Proceeding, Mr Ellis 8id: On Saturday Mr Gladstone discoursed on the blessings of decentralisation. Now, in the United Kingdom, where the four nationali- ties bad 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, "Rbyddid gwerin, ffyniant 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, tile 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 bnariug on Wales will be given in Parliament. On Wednesday tbo Government will say whether they will include Monmouthshire in the Interme- diate Education Bill. {To exclude Monmouthshire is to cutioff Wales's right hand. (Loud applause.) I trust the Government will act wisely. If thsy do not, we 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 Gladstone 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-uational but anti-national in spirit. (Applause.) Wales has also declared its wish aud 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. Wotlierefore await Mr Glad- stone's action with watchful anxiety. (Applause.) Last Thursday's debate and division on tneRoyai grants had a peculiar interest for Walos, The grants were asked for Prince Albert Victor of Wales and Princess Louise of Wales. While the debate proceeded, I asked myself, Why of Wales?' (Hear, heiir.) For all they knew of Wales, or Wales knew of them, they I)-liglit as well ba Prince of Tasmania or Princess of Manitoba. (Laughter.) Wales has become a merely conventional title. Henry VII. taualit his son, Prince Arthur of Wales, the traditions of his native land, and care was taken that he should cherish the memories and the hopes of Wales. Prince Arthur was unfortunately cut 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, aod beyond, I would imagine, princes pay their subjects the simple and courteous compliment of learning their language. In asking this Wales would, 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 bis dance attendance on the Shah at tho Empire Theatre, but be 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 considerthat the presence of the Queen in Wales for the first time in 50 years, anct 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 annouueed, counselled Pri neess Beatrice to lay the foundation stone of a church of the Episcopalian establishment at Barmouth. (Laughter.) The graciommess of thia royal act is enhanced for the vast bulk ot 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. Tuese 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 the Rbondda Valley, and he urged these to pay a visit to their home constituency to give n helping hand 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 the 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.

The Stipendiary Very well; it is well worth while to make au inquiry into the question. Mr Stockwood requested Mr Rhys to prepare a written information, which was subsequently sub- mitted. The case will be beard on Monday next,

THE CHAHGX TO THE GRAND JURY, His Lordsiiip, iii etiai-giug the grand jury br the county, said it was a great pleasure to him to be able on this occasion, as on 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 suotained the reputatioa of being a law-abiding county. His lordship afterwards briefly addressed the grand jury for the town. The trial of prisoners was then proceeded with. BURGLARY. Michael Doherty, 38. labourer, was charged with breaking and L),- tilp dwelling-house of Martha EJwardes, of foot, and stealing one pair of boots, value 6i.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The Mark lane Express of Monday says :—To- day is not ouiy vastly superior to what it was in 1888, but is eveu better than the promise twn years ago. The markets for English wheat ;have been slow, but holders have had too little to offer to feel any great discouragement. Purely agricultural exchanges, like Yeovil, lirye 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 beeu 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 qc in white. The market for maize has been somewhat uncertain, Glasgow and Leeds being 3:1 .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 country markets, The London market is steady, but not active. Oats advanced fed per qr at several markets. Bsans and English peas are unchanged.

BARROW IRON TRADE. BARROW, Monday.—The hematite market is firmer 011 the week, and orders are more plentiful. Buyers are inquiring for heavy forward deliveries, and several sales for prompt deliveries have just been made. Warrants are firmer. and have now reached tho quotations of makers, which range from 49 ó-l to 49< 91 for mixed numberll of Bessemer, nett f.o.b. Stacks of iron are smaller than they have been, but the output is being increased by the re-lighting of furnaces wbich have been idle for some time. Steel makers are very full of orders, and the greatest activity is maintained in all departments. Orders are still brisk,:and heavy rails are firm at £ + 15. Ship- builders and entriueers are busy. Iron ore firm, fef^jk 10s 6d to I3i. Coal and coke are increasing iti J^ce.

MR BALI OUR AND WALES. A DISCLAIMER. Mr Balfour:s attention having been directed by a South Glamorgan correspondent to the con- struction placed m WelMi circles upon his reter- ence to Wiles-de minimis non-during his racent strictures on 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 Wales by members nf the Gladstonian party) that iu anything I have ever said there is an intention to iii-ult the Princi- pality. Such au idea is wholly unwarranted and absurd, and if in discussing Lord Rosebery's scheme of Federation I did not 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 Monday by the Marquis a-nd Marchioness of Salisbury at Hrt,. fiel i House, in honour of the Shah, was a great success, notwithstanding the threatening weatiier. 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. fessionai performers, amongst these being üapta j 11 Fuwler, who showed some ciever feats with rsfla shooting at flass balls. A member of the Shah's suite caused some :11arm to the guests by under- taking, unsolicited, an amateur performance with one of Capain Fowler's weapons, but after firing two rounds he wa.s persuaded to desist, to the relief of those in charge of the day!? programme. Subsequently the StJab, accom- I panied by Prince Albert Victor, travelled witti his suite to the seat of Earl Brovralow, at Berk- hamstead. Lord Salisbury drove witb bis Ma- I jesty to Hatfield Station, where tbe Sbab thanked the Premier for his kindness and hospitality, which he said he would never forget.

LLANDAFF. MONDAY.—Before Colonel We ODS and Messrs J. WATSON and 11, Liavxs.

He said be bad not got it to give their,, whereupon Taylor caug.it bold of bis coat while 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 tbey overlook liim soon after, and con- tinued to assault bim. Defendants appearea a little the worse for drink wnen tbey cama UP> they knew what they were doing. Tiiey were going towards Ely. When he saw them followiug bim be went into a laue leadiug to E.y Race- course. but defendants followed bim, assau.tiug him whiie there. Taylor did not hit hun it was the other defendaut who bad assaulted bim so violeutly, and said he was the very roan he wan- tod to practice on, be being in a threatening atti- tude ail the while, and hitting plaintiff about the body as if he were a sack of sawdust. They aicei- wards left bim.—Prisoners had uotbiag to say in answer to the charge.—Taylor was fiued 1J*, or 14 days and the other defendant was sent to prison for a month with hard labour. SUNDAY DRINKING.—Mary A. Travell, lanaiaay of the Heat-hcock public-bouse, Llandaff was charged before the same magistrates with keeping her bouse open for the sale of intoxicating dritiK on Sunday, tue 16' ii June.

There were tour in the kitchen—three females and a ma.n, When asked their tir-mes they f. Rees, Mary Fern 11, 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 tbe girls was a friend of tile lantilady's daughter, who invited them all into the housep and :8ked them to stay to tea, wnich defendants refused, saying they could not. stay, whereupon sho said they must have something witb her. It bappent'o that the sergeant came in girls a glass of beereach. Siiedid nut know where the defendants lived, but -AI;Ary Rees-lier friedd- bad very often visited her at the public. Defendants were all found at the Vinegar Works, where they worked, by Sergeant Cole, when he asjteu them their proper addresses. They were *ery much surprised when he visited them, and ex" pressed deep sorrow. Tti«y gave tbeir Pr3P^ addresses. In cross-examiuatiou, he said he did uot see any lemonade bottles ou the table, or any- thing beside beer. The girls had visited him siut e ani expressed their sorrow ot barinST g'*e» the trouble.—Mr Jones summed up, and cou- tended that tba girls, when asked tbeir name*, I did not refuse to give their right one-, but in order that their parents, who were very respectable, should not know anything of the c-tse, they gave wrong addresses, and that was sufficient to show their was no barm inaant. The case was dis- missed against the landlady, all also were ,he charges against the girl. there being insufficient evidence against them.

NEWPORT.—MONDAY. CBIMPING.- Henry Warnken, boarding-house keeper. King's Parade, was summoned for harbour- iu two seamen who bad deserted from the Belie of Lagos, and Christopher Simmonds, run- ner in Warnken'* employ, was summoned for persuading the men to desert. The Belle called at Newport ou Wednesday week whilst on a voyage from Hamburg to Paysaudu, and tbe captain, as soou as he reached t:ie Old Dock, found tbe runner tampering witb bis 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 witb the police. The two seamen afterwards went to lodge at Warnken's house; and Menuer told the bench he was supplied with 5s a a day by Simnaonds's wife. Moller went to sea m a Dauisb barque, but Menuer went back penitently to the Belle, and was received by the master, but his bag of clothes was detaiuel at Warnken's.—Mr Lyndon Moore, for the defence, asserted that Menuer's evidence was a tissue of falsehoods ingeniously mixeci with some little shreds of truth.

An event of much inteiest in the annals of English Congregation- alism at Llanelly took place on Modday after- noon, viz., the laying of tbe memorial stone of the new schoolroom in connection with Park Ctiurcb. Park is the only Engiisb Independent cause in the neighbourhood, and was founded some hali-a-century rgo as a branch from the good old mother of Llanelly Congregationalism— 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 agd 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, tbe Rev E. Griffiths Joues, B.A., who called upon Mr Joseph Maybery, a leading inember ot the Park, and chairman of the Llanelly Local Board, to lay the stone, or rather stones, supplied by Messrs ReesJenkins and Son, Llaneily. This done, the chairman described the events which led up to the inception of the present, building, on which and its acces- sories some ;C2,000 is to be expended, whilst the Park frieuds expect, by the end of the year, to have raised in subscriptions about a third of that amount, Mr Maybery himself setting a noble example with a donation of £ 50. The Caairman, having called on Mr Mavbpry to say a few words, britfly introduced the Rev J. Osdea Davies (late of Llanelly/now of London), who bad preached the previous day the anniver- sary sermons of the school. Mr Davies made a I very inspiring speech, showing forth t.be necessity of due attention to the spiritual welfare of the young. He spoke of what Park Church had done in the Pt, and trusted they would be in the future au aggressive church. They had produced one noble n-an in Dr Llewellyn Bevan, but he reminded them that the second Llewellyn Bevan was now due—he trusted they would find one within the Wftlis of the neN schoolroom. Mr Davies spoke I ITl high terms ot the master, Mr Jones.—Speeches were also delivered by the Revs Thomas Davies (chairman of the Welsh Congregational Union), R. Evans (Greenfield, Baptist), and Aldington (Wesleyan).

CRICKET. GENTLEM'N v. PLAYERS. Cricket at L"rd s yesterday was carried on under most depressing conoitions. Rain ill tbe morning oniy allowed of 35 minutes' play before luncheon, and caused another stoppage late in the afternoon. During the time that play lastt-d a mist hung over the ground, and tIl" lvght was very bad. and under the circumstances it was really surprising to see so many people present, for in the afternoon there must have betn quite 5.00O on the ground. Two v, ry powerfu teams had been got together, but several alterations had been made from the sides that appeared at the Oval. Both Mr Read und Shrewsbury were chosen, but the former had to stand out for private rea.-ons, and Shrewsbury, having sprained his wrist at the Oval, was prevented from piaying. Flowers was put in the team at the la-st moment, but had they known of Stiz ewsbiiry's absence in time they would, probably, have asked Frank Sugg. The cricket itself was interesting, and the pros. gave a highly-creditable display, Present score PLAYERS. 1st Innings. 2nd Inninge.

Kent were able to out a stronc eleven into the field against Sussex at Gravesend yesterday. The visitors also had a good team, and th.;y certainly ought to have done better on a fast wicket afer winning tne toss and making a goo start. The Sussex batting completely broke down after 13b runs had been scored. This was due in a creat 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 116 in an hour and 2tI minutes for the loss of but three wickets.

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 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 lie complained that all through the case the evidence bad 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 she had been living with a man whom she called "Charlie," Sha afterwards accom- panied witness to various parts of the country, subsequently reluming to London and staying at Mill wall until the 20th of April last. On that day ha 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. Mary, Devon, last week. There ha was met by Detective-Inspector Tonbridge, who brought him to London. He had heard nothing f the remains being discovered. He had heard ackson, who was enceinte, say that she would be glad to gee rid of the child, but he 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 adjourned.
