BREAKDOWN ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. SERIOUS DELAY OF TRAFFIC. Last evening the up mail wasan hourand-a-half late in arriving at Cardiff, and on enquiry it was ascertained that the delay was due to a break- down which occurred to the Irish goods" train between Landore and LlansamIet. Owing to an acbldent, the nature of which could not be ascertained last evening, which occurred to the engine of tbe goods train, all traffic was blocked for jieariy two hours; and although the mail was able, on the run to Cardiff, to make up part of the'loss, the delay was most serious. Fortunately, no personal injuries were occasioned to anyone. .u

PETERSBURG, Tuesday.—The Russian press is very much divided in its opinion on the result of the Boulanger trial. The Novosli is highly pleased with it.

CHARLES A. ABSALOM. AN ADVENTUROUS CAREER ENDED. rFROH OUR CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, Tuesday.—Charles A. Absolom's life is ended. The famous university cricketer's body lies at the port of Spain, Trini- dad. For upwards of ten years he had lived in America. When he broke loose from the ties and associations which bound him to England, he bought a rifle and a dog and buried himself in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The reason for this course be never gave. Some said it was a love affair and that explanation was generally accepted. At all events, he fled from civiliza- tion, and became the friend and trusted coun- sellor of many Indian chiefs. The tribes in Montana and through the Columbia Valley knew him and ioved him. The Yso- kanes adopted him into the tribe, giving him an unpronounceable came, signifying in English the man who never wears a hat," derived from A habit be had acquired before leaving England. While hunting in the Rockies be fell from a ledge, receiving injuries which forced him to New York for treatment. After months in the hospital be was ordered to take sea voyages, and became purser on the Oiionoco plying to Bermuda. Wishing to viait the West Indies, he received a transfer to the Muriel, of the Quebec line. While unloading cargo at the port of Spain on July 27th last, a derrick fell and crushed Absolom and J. U. Dupont, the West Indian superintendent of the line, beneath its ponderous bulk. Absalom's iron constitution endured to the last. While in the tropics he habitually slept on the deck bareheaded in the rain, and the dew, a thing a native would not dare to attempt. Aboard ship he was never known to undress and go to bed in a civilised way. He was very popular ia cricket circles in this city.

I THE MAYBRICK CASE. MR MATTHEWS STILL PROSE- CUTING INQUIRIES. IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY THE NURSES. LORD HARTINGTON'S OPINION. LONDON, Tuesday.—Down to late this evening there was nothing to indicate what decision, if any, has been arrived at with regard to Mrs Maybrick. There is reason to believe, although Mr Matthews has not definitely announced his decision, that tha death sentence will not be carried out. The Homo Secretary was par- ticularly desirous that Mr Justice Wills should have conferred with Mr Justice Stephen and himself in regard to the case. Mr Justice Wills, it will be remembered, tried Mrs Bartlett on the charge of poisoning her husband just three years ago, and the care and caution displayed by his lordship to prevent the possibility of the allega- tion that the prisoner had not had a fair trial was highly commended at the time. In fact, the judge propounded the theory on which the jury no doubt, acted, that Mr Bartlett might in a paroxysm of pain have got out of bed and obtained the poison himself. Mr Matthews has been deprived of the assistance which Mr Justice Wills might have rendered him, in consequence of that learned judge having gone on a sea voyage, which is to extend over a good portion of the Long Vacation. Intelligence received on Tuesday night shows that Mrs Maybrick continues to improve in health but she is displaying great anxiety as to the result of the appeal to the Home Secretary. It has transpired that an official from the Home Office has been making inquiries of the nurses who gave evidence in the case with reference to the glycerine which was used witn the borox, accord- ing to the prescription of DrHurapbreys,to moisten Mr Maybrick'slips, and which ou being analysed was found to contain arsenic. It has, as a result of these inquiries, been ascertained that on the Wednesday before Mr Maybrick died, Nurse Gore called Mrs Maybrick's attention to the fact that the glycerine was finished. Mrs Maybrick accordingly sent for another bottle, and this bottle, bought three days before death occurred, was the one which was found to contain arsenic. In the course of an interview on Tuesday after- noon, Nurse Napp made a remarkable statement. She says that on the Saturday before Mr May- brick died, the waiting maid, Mary Cadwaladr, was sent by Mrs Maybrick with a written pre- scription to ba made up at the shop of a local chemist. The girl returned, and stated that the chemist had refused to make up the prescription, on the ground that it contained a. poisonous drug, and that no signature of a doctor was appended to it. This being so, not only bad he refused to make up the prescription, but be bad also kept possession of the prescription. Although the girl Cadwaladr repeated this not only to other girls, but also to Mrs Briggs and Mrs Hughes, this fact did not transpire in court, nor was it referred to in way by any of the witnesses. Alice Yapp also states that she herself told Mrs Briggs and Mrs Hugbes of the occurrence on the Wednesday morning, some hours before she had made the discovery of the contents of the letter to Brierley. Her avowed reason for not mentioning it when in the witness-box is that she was not asked about it either by Mr Addison or Sir Chas. Russell, and she did not then know what great importance would have attached to such a state- ment. Mr Cleaver, prisoner's solicitor, in reply to questions, said be was aware of the incident mentioned. The prescription was an unfinished one by Dr Humphreys, and the chemist detained it, saying he would give it to the doctor when he called. Mrs Maybrick was confirmed in the Church of England by the Bishop of Lichfield at Geneva in 1878. The Marquis of Hartington writes to a gentle- man at Catford that he is well aware that the public mind is much agitated over this matter, but he has every reason to believe that the Home Secretary is with very able assistance giving his fullest consideration to the circumstances involved in the case." The Central News mentions with reserve the rumour current in well-informed circles that the Lord Chancellor and the Home Secretary hold strongly divergent opinions about the case, the interpretation put upon the statement being that Lord Halsbury cannot discover sufficient reason (ÍJr remitting the death penalty. [FROM: OCB CORRESPONDENTS.] NEW YOUK, Tuesday Night.— The attorneys for- Mrs Florence Maybrick have brought a friendly suite for the appointment of trustees of her large estate in several counties of Kentucky. She indented the property from her grandfather, Darius Blake Holbrook, of New York. It con- sists of wild lands of considerable prospective value. Baroness Von Roque and Mrs Maybrick's children are made parties to the suit.

TELEGRAMS TO THE PRESS, A POINT FOR THE POSTMASTER GENERAL. Mr Raikes never will allow that there is any- thing wrong with the Post-office system. It is perfection, and improvement is tbe dream of carping minds. Nevertheless we may be permitted to illustrate one of the egre- gious absurdities of the Press telegraph system, whereby messages of totally different import are transcribed by the clerks on the self-same sheet of thin manifolding paper. On Sunday President Carnot made an important speech to the Mayors of the Communes of France. In the midst of his remarks as telegraphed there was a comical inter- polation, which can only be explained to the public and to Mr Raikes in the words of the message. The President was speaking of the Universal Exhibition. The message is particu- larly lucid as telegraphed :— What can I say of the Universal Exposition which, can be really worthy of its splendours, which bring confusIon to the imagination. More to follow. New York Sun.—A serious riot occurred to-day between the rival political actions at Richmond,Texas, in which the Sheriff and two other persons were killed, and several injured. The military had to be called out to restore order Paris continued—How shall I succeed in praising in a few words the proùigieR of art and industry which the whole world does not weary of seeing and admiring. All this on one page. If the Post-office people imagine they increase their income by this system, they might convince themselves of the contrary by inquiries at the offices of the various news associations and newspapers.

LORD R. CHURCHILL. HIS FORTHCOMING VISIT TO WALES. I believe, writes a London correspondent, that in his speech in Wales next month Lord Randolph Churchill will review his present rela- tions with the Tory party. It is no secret that the recent speeches of the noble lord have greatly irritated the leaders of the general body of the party. He has been made to feel that his attitude and language are out of harmony with Conserva- tive opinion, and that if be is to be recognised as a Conservative leader he must give up the socialist and anti-coercion programme which he recently propounded. Lord Randolph has been treated to a partial boycott, and it will be interesting to setf what its effect has been. Will it compel him to abandon partially the opinions which be recently espoused, or will it harden him in bis determination to preach a new Toryism which is hardly distinguishable from advanced Radicalism ?

AN INTRUDER AT MR CHAM- BERLAINS HOUSI5, David Harris, a bottle gatherer, who gave no address, was charged on remand, at the West- minister police-court on Tuesday—before Mr bneu—-with being on the premises of Mr Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., 40, Prince's gardens, South Keusington, for an unlawful purpose.—On the atternoon of the 13tli instant, the prisoner was found by the butler at the entrance of the house- keeper s-room, and he could give no satisfactory account of his presence there. He told the magistrate that be went there for a drink of water, but Mr Shell,remmded him that he did not offer that explanation at the time, and sentenced him to two months hard labour.

SEVERE GALE AT SOUTHPORT FISHING BOATS IN IMMINENT PERIL. A terrible storm broke over Sotithport on Tuesday morning. A number of fishing boats were soon seen to be in distress, and the lifeboat was at once launched. One boat was seen to go down. It is believed to have been owned by Mrs Blundell, of Marshside, the crew, consisting of the owner's son, and another man. A second boat, owned by the coxswain of the lifeboat, and manned by bis two sons, is missing, and the James Rigby, of Marsh- I sIde, 18 also missmg. The greatest excitement prevails. Thousands of persons are at the pier- bead awaiting news.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock. FEVER IN LONDON. Mr RITCHIE, in answer to Sir Stafford North- cote, said he bad directed an inquiry into an outbreak of typhoid fever in the West End of London. The outbreak, which was limited to bouses of the better class, did not appear to be due to defects in the sanitary conditions, but to some temporary cause. IRISH SUNDAY CLOSING BILL. Mr SEXTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he would state his intentions with regard to the Intoxicating Liquors (Ireland) Bill. Mr R. POWER intimated that there would be much opposition to the bill. Mr T. W. RCSSHLL enquired whether the Chief Secretary had not given a pledge to pass the bill. Mr BALFOUH said that in January last a deputation representing all parties waited upon him at Dublin Castle with regard to the bill, and he then assured them that although it would not be brought in as a Government bill, yet they would do their best to forward it, and have it passed. At this stage of the session, however, and in view of the fact that strenuous opposition would be offered to the measure as officially indicated by one of the Whips of the Irish party, it would be absolutely useless to endeavour to make progress with it. (Hear.) The Government with profound reluctance, therefore, had come to the conclusion that they could entertain no expectation whatever of passing the bill, and wrald abandon it for this session. Mr T. LEA gave notice that on the Appropria- tion Bill he should ask the Government what steps they proposed to take to redeem their honour in reference to the pledges given concern- ing this bill—(loud ironical cheer from the Irish benches)—and also call attention to the apparent impotency of the House of Commons to legislate on behalf of the Irish people. (Re- newed and prolonged cheers and laughter.) TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. Mr W. H. SMITH, in reply to a question, said that the Government bad already consulted representatives in the House of elementary and board schools as to the provisions of the Technical Instruction Bill, and they did not propose to postpone further consideration of the bill in order to make additional inquiry. VAN AND WHEEL-TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Baron Dimsdale, said his attention had been drawn to the report of the Local Taxation Com- mittee, but he did not know that the resolutions helped to a solution of the question of reinforc- ing local finance. A large number of county councils were in favour of such reinforcement, but they did not suggest any means of doing it. The only suggestion made was in the direction of the van and wheel tax. Most of these resolutions came from borough county council! from whence came tha opposition which prevented the passing of the Van and Wheel Tax Bill last year. He had given a good deal of consideration to the question, but could not see bis way- to meeting the views of the council as to the reinforcement of local finance. A further surrender of Imperial revenue was out of the question, and of any new resources, he knew of none fitter for the main- tenance of roads than the Van and Wheel Tax. But experience had taught him that the opposition to any new tax was out of all proportion to the eratitude felt for any relief to local burdens that taxation might give. (Hear, hear.) LOSS OF H.M.S. SULTAN. Mr BALLANTINK asked A question as to the responsibility for the loss of H.M.S. Sultan. Mr COBB asked whether, at the time of the actual loss of the Sultan, the Duke of Edinburgh was not in command, and whether the effect of the inquiry held was not to screen the Duks by court-martial. Mr COSSHAM asked if papers on the subject would be laid before Parliament. Lord G. HAMILTON said it was not intended to lay papers before Parliament. Papers in connec- tion with the court-martial and the court of inquiry had been made public through the press. The bon. member (Mr Cobb) was wrong in bis facts and bis assumptions. It was not true that any attempt was made to screen the commander- in-chief, for he could not have been tried for the loss of the Sultan. A court-martial was held upon the captain for the stranding of tho Sultan, and it was unnecessary to hold another court-martial on the loss of the ship, as the loss was consequent upon her being stranded. The court of enquiry was not held to investigate the question of the responsibility of the commander-in-chief, but to ascertain if any possible endeavour had been made to save the ship after the stranding. If any further court- martial had been necessary, it would have been the captain, and not the commander-in-chief, who would have been tried. Mr BALLANTINK, quoting from the words of the president of the court-martial, asked was the superior officer in command between the stranding and the loan of the ship ? Lord G. HAMILTON said no. Captain iRice was in command. The commander-in-chief super- intended the operations for getting the ship" off the rock but it was according to the invariable practice, and in conformity with naval discipline, that the offioers and crew are responsible for n ship lost. To such an extent was this carried that when the Captain foundered through want of stability, a gunner rnd tha few tceh who survived were tried by court-martial.

IRISH LAND COMMISSION. The House then went into Committee of Supply. On the vote of £73,214- for the Irish Land Commission, Mr T. HEALY complained that in view of the block in the Land Court, the Government had not appointed a sufficient number of commis- sioners. There should also be more regularity and definiteness in the sittings of the commis- sioners. The delay in the hearing of the cases inflicted great hardship upon tenants, and any one who advised them a stay of ejectment under the 3Cth section of the act must either be a donkey or a criminal lunatic. (Laughter, and Hear, bear.) The tenants had the remedy which the statute gave them, and it should be possible to obtain it within three months at the very outside, or, if there must be delay, the landlords' remedy should also be delayed. (Hear, hear.) Mr A. J. BALFOUR said the Government had attempted this session as well as last to introduce legislation which, whether good or bad, would at all events have the effect of diminishing the amount of arrears of cases waiting to be heard before the court of first instance. If the bill before the House would have the effect of depriv- ing the tenant of the value of his improvements it would stand condemned; but ho did not think it was open to that objection. In addition to the efforts of the Government to mitigate the evil by legislation, they bad increased the number of the sub-commissioners. He quite admitted that even the enormous increase of the staff had not seriously reduced the arrears. But it would be a great ovil arbitrarily to increase or diminish the number of sub-commissioners as the arrears increased or diminished. A complaint had been made that the Land Commissioners, in carrying into effect the Act of 1887, had only taken into account the fall of prices, and bad not considered tha yield. But in so doing they were only carrying ou the act, which was passed solely to meet a fail m agricultural prices. Moreover, last year the tenants would not have gained, but lost, had the yield been taken into account. Mr T. W. RUSSELL strongly insisted upon the necessity of taking measures to clear off the arrear of cases in the land courts. The vole was then agreed to. THE IRISH VOTES. On the vote of £4,478 for the household of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, Mr MAONEILL asked what the secretary of the Lord-Lieutenant did for his money, and what were the other officials paid for iu connection with their absurd appointments to a mere ginger- bread court ? No less a sum than £789 a year was paid for the care of the Lord-Liaiuenant'a souIf although the chaplains did not attend his lordship. A large sum was also paid out to a King-at- Arms for providing people with grandfathers and grandmothers. (Laughter.) Mr BLANK considered the salary of the Lord- Lieutenant was sufficient without the country being called upon to pay his servants. There were a lot of camp followers about DQblin Castle who were mere vagabonds. (Laughter.) He knew many of them himself. (Loud laughter.) They would not be tolerated anywhere else Mr BALFOUR said that if they had a Lord- Lieutenant they must also have a Lord- Lieutenant's household. After some remarks from Mr FLYNN and Mr H. COSBHAM, the motion for reduction was rejected by 101 to 68. The vote was then agreed to tLEFT SITTING,] The bill introduced by Mr O. W. Gray, Sir J. Puleston, and other members to amend the law relating to the recovery of tithe rent charge, was issued on Tuesday morning. The Bill is intended to provide, amongst other things, for the recovery of tithe rent charge in the county court which is to be assisted by assessors. Future con- tracts as to the payment of tithe by the tenant are to be void, and distress for the recovery of tithe rent charges is abolished. Sir Edward Reed is one of the English visitors now staying at Aix-Ies-Bains. The Countess of Dunraven and family have left town for Dunraven Castle. Mr Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., and Mrs Cham- berlain have arrived at Eastbourne, where they purpose staying for several weeks.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT TO A MASTER OF HOUNDS. Mr Edmund Fitzgerald, the popular master of the Clonmult foxhounds, has met with a terrible accident. He was riding to a funeral, and on passing Mr Nason's place at Ballynoe his h<>rse, which was walking at the time, suddenly « M at seeing colts scampering M a hela by the roadway. Mr Fitzgerald was jerked off the saddle, falling sideways, one toot catching in the stirrup. The borse then dashed hindwards, kicked him on the head, fracturing his lower jaw and causing other severe injuries. He was removed subsequently to Mr Nason's residence, where ho now lies ia a most critical condition under the care of three doctors. Widespread sympathy is exnrewwi for Mr ?its- gerald.

SEVERE WEATHER. [FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. I FALMOUTH, TUESDAY NIGHT. The expected attack is still deferred, but the vigilant watches at the Coastguard Station and Pendennis Castle are not relaxed. The Medea, cruiser,arrived this morning for mails for the fleet, and the Hearty, Government tug, put in for coals this afternoon. The Rodney, flagship of Admiral Tracey, with the turret ship; Caimperdown, cap- tured from the B fleet, and also three cruisers have pnt into the bay, but are likely to be off in the course of the night after taking aboard some coals. No less than five colliers from Cardiff and Plymouth have arrived to-day in the harbour to supply the fleet. It is, therefore, evident that Falmouth is to be an important rendezvous for the ships. The torpedo boats which had been reconnoitring outside the breakwater returned to Devonporc Harbour at daylight this morning, nothing having been seen of the enemy's ships. The cruisers Narcissus and Undaunted, belonging to A or Admiral Tryon's squadron, have arrived. The former has defects in her steering gear which necessitated her being taken to the dockyard. The Undaunted convoyed the Narcissus so that she should not fall into the enemy's hands. The chances of an attack on Plymouth are now considered to be very small, and at the most a hostile torpedo boats' attempt to blow up a vessel to the Sound is the only thing to guard against. An attempt to bombard or capture the town is quite out of the question, but every precaution is being taken by the naval and military authorities to frustrato any designs on this place. Owing to the numerous complaints from merchant vessels about the electric light, a general order has been issued that the ships and forts are not to direct their electric lights on steamers, SHEERNESS, TUESDAY. The gale prevented the E squadron from scout- ing in the North Sea to-day, and the Glatton, the Hydra, and the three gunboats are still anchored in the Thames. The torpedo boats were ordered into harbour for shelter. As No. 61 torpedo boat was entering harbour her machinery broke down, and she drifted against the cruiser Beaver, the latter's mast being carried away and her search- light fittings damaged. LONDONDERRY, TUESDAY. A report comes from Lough Swilly that Mr Brown, an officer of the Inflexible, has sustained grievous injuries to his hand and arm by an accident with the ship's machinery. MILFORD, TCESDAT. Thirteen warships of the A fleet entered Milford Haven this afternoon. The wind was blowing half a gale, with a big sea outside.

DEFENCELESS SWANSEA. The following letters and telegrams have passed between the Mayor of Swansea and the officer commanding the volunteers of the district:— XO L. L. DILLWYN, M P. "Col.

I have considered it my duty to call the attention of the Admiralty and the War Office to our present defenceless condition, and consequent danger to the whole of the ports and shipping of the Bristol Channel. MAYOR OF SWANSEA." MR DILLWYN'S REPLY TO MAYOR OF SWANSEA. Any communication you may wish to make on the subject should I think ba addressed to officer com- manding regimental district at Cardiff.—DILLWVN." THE MAYOR TO MR DILLWYN. "Your telegram has caused great consternation amongst inhabitants of Swansea, who consider that under circumstance? you should have communicated with officer commanding itegip,.entltl District at Cardiff direct. The delay thus caused is highly dangerous,as we may at any moment be surprised by the enemy when unprapared. If Volunteers of any servica now is the time to prove their utility."

BRUTAL ASSAULT WITH A REAPING HOOK. On Monday:at Waterford Sergeant Montgomery arrested a woman, named Mary Macdonald, on the charge of having murderously attacked Michael Sutton with a reaping hook, inflicting injuries of a very serious nature. From Sutton's deposition it appears that he had an altercation with the woman and she suddenly attacked him with a sharp reaping hook. To avert a terrific stroke at his neck with it he raised his left hand, and the blade cut off his four fingers above the middle joints. The shock almost paralysed him, so much so that when she followed up the outrage by aiming another blow at bia bead,he bad barely raised the right hand to save himself when the instrument, coming in contact with his wrist, almost severed the hand from the arm. Sutton fell insensible, and would have bled to death but for the timely arrival of Dr White. He was daring the evening removed to the City Hospital, where he lies in a very deplorable condition.

INQUEST ON THE BODIES. There is very little to add to the details already given to the treble crime, the committaLof which shocked all Stratford on Monday. Of one thing, however, there can be no doubt, and that is the straightened circumstances of Lachmann. In proof of this it is said that on Sunday night, after be and the lady returnad from their walk in the fields, Lachmann went into the Shoulder of Mutton pubJic-house, which is only a few yards from the cottage, and there asked to be allowed to sing in the hope of getting a few coppers to assist in taking them back to London. Mrs Freeman says she observed that the woman was wearing what appeared to be a wedding ring upon the first day of their arrival, but this she after- wards left off, and it subsequently turned out that the ring was a brass one. Besides the turquoise brooch found on the dressing table, they appear to have been destitute of any articles of h personal adornment. Lachmann was a man of high education and striking appearance, married, i with one child, a boy, to whom be was devotedly attached. He had been estranged from bis wife for a long time, and had been in the habit of making her an allowance of 17s 9d a week, for which the boy called every Saturday. )

THE INQUEST. I Mr Conchman, coroner for South Warwick- shire, opened an inquiry at Stratford-on-Avon on Tuesday afternoon relative to the death of Juhu Lachinann von Gamsenfels, described as editor of the Londoner Journal, and a lady and child, name unknown, who were murdered in a cottage on the outskirts of the town. The Coroner remarked that he was afraid the inquest was held too soon, as the police had not had time to estab- lish the identity of the female victims. He pro- posed to take the evidence of the witnesses present. Mrs Freeman, at whose house the victim lodged, said the woman had often remarked that she dearly loved her husband, meaning Lachmann. Witness heard only the two pistcl shots. Mr Norbury, the surgeon who examined the bodies, said the woman and child were apparently shot in their sleep. They were lying in quite a natural attitude, the woman's arms being across her breast. The bedclothes were not disturbed, and there was no evidence of a struggle. Witness believed the man had a weapon in each hand, and fired simultaneously, and this theory was corroborated by the evidence of Mrs Freeman, who heard only two shots. One of the man's shoulders was bruised in his fall. A blood-stained bullet was found in the bedclothes. It had passed through the woman's head. Witness believed the bullet was still in the child's brain. The shots were sufficient to produce almost instant death in eacn case. Supt. Simmons said be found photographs of Lachmann and the lady in the former's pocket, together with five cartridges fitting the revolver and pistol. No information bad been received of the woman's name and address. The coroner adjourned the inquiry until Sep- tember 4th, and ordered the burial of the bodies.

GRIEF OF LACHMANN'S WIFE. It is now fully established that the lady and child shot by Mr Lachmann at Stratford-on-Avon were not Mrs Lachmann and her son. Mrs Lach- mann, on Tuesday morning, called at the office of the Londoner Journal, St. Mary Axe, in a state of great grief aud excitement, and said that she bad only just beard of the dreadful occurrence through the medium of the morning papers. Her boy has been with her in London up to the present, and the murdered child is supposed to have belonged to Mr Lachmanu's female com- panion. Mrs Lachmann left London this morning for Stratford-on-Avon, and gave evidence at the inquest, which commenced at half-past one. It is said that the person with whom the deceased man cohabited at Stratford. was not known in London, her appearance on the stage having been confined to the provinces. s

SAD DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY. A sad fatality occurred on Tuesday at Holly Brook House, county Sligo, the residence of Colonel Ffolliott, D.L.

LOCAL RAILWAY MEETING. THE CENTRAL WALES AND CARMAR- THEN JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly ordmary meeting of the pro- prietors of this company was held on Tuesday afternoon at No. 1, Draper's Gardens, Iiondon.— Mr A. Cromweil White, deputy chairman, pre- sided, and in moving the adoption of the report and accounts said there had been an improvement in the traffic all round. The pasRenjer receipts I showed an increase of £77 parcels, £125; fish, Lli; nails, JE9; goods and live stock, £ 12; and minerals, £ 15. Tbey had done very wey with fish, owing to the opening cf the Milford Dock, which promised to be an important fishing harbour. In support of this he said that while in May last only 15 fishing vaasels went to the harbour, that number had increased to 300 last month. Milford Docks being a new undercakiug, the traffic would continue to increase, especially as by that route 56 miles were saved between Milford and such places as Shrewsbury and tbe Midland districts. There bad also been an iu- crease in the expenditure, but this was owing to the increased traffic, which this half-year com- pared very favourably with the preceding one. It was not yet officially announced when tbe Milford Docks would be opened, but as soon as they were he anticipated, as ho had said, a large addition to tho present traffic. The half-year's trading enabled them to pay 2! per cent. per annum on the first preference stock, as against 2 per cent. last year.—Mr Newton seconded the motion, which was carried, and the dividend having been declared, the proceedings terminated.

BUTTER FACTORIES FOR CARMARTHENSHIRE. DISCUSSION AT THE FARMERS' CLUB DECISION TO START AN EXPERI- MENTAL FACTORY. The quarterly meeting of this club was held at Carmarthen on Tuesday, when there was a very large attendance, Mr J. L. Philipps (Bolahaul) Presiding. The subject for discussion was Butter Factories." Mr W. J. WILSON, of The Dell, Llanelly, in introducing the matter, said they would recollect that at the last meeting a committee was formed to enquire into the statements he made at the Llandiio meeting of the club last February. That committee appointed Mr Thomas and himself to go round butter factories in England or Ireland or auy other place they thought fit, and bring up a report to submit to the committee so that they might recommend somsthing to the club. lie visited butter factories in the neighbourhood of Dublin, Belfast, Tipperary, Cork, and Water- ford, and everywhere he found the factories were outdoing the band. made butter. He found two factories in the county of Cork and Limerick which were exactly what he would like to have in Carmarthenshire they were in the hands of farmers who co-operated amongst themselves. One of them was eetting 21,000 gallons of milk, and turning out 8,022 lbs of butter at Is 3d per lb. per week. The farmers were paid 4 £ d per Rullon. He supposed that on an average in this county it took three gallons of milk to lIu.ke one Pound of butter. That means Is l'i for a pound, what they used to get lOi ior, or a difference of 31 per lb while the skim milk was returned in half an hour after the receipt of the fresh milk, and the butter-milk twice a week. Surely a factory would pay in CArmartiienshire, where he supposed the average paid for land was 15 per acre. (Cries of <I No, no.) If they liecided to go in for a factory, he would suggest the addition of a dairy school, so that their own Welsh people might learn to take the place of dairymaids. He wrote to Sir. Arthur Stepney to Set for him the amount of erauts by the Govern- ment to dairy schools, &,e., and Sir Arthur received the following letter in reply: Agricultural Department, Privy Counc'J Office Westminster, S. W., 13th July, 1839. Sir,—In reply to the inquiries contained in your fetter, addressed to the chiet clerk, of the 12th instant on the subject of the distribution of the Government ;,r,iiit in aid of agricultural and dairy schools I have to inform you that the Lords of the Committee of Council for Agriculture are precluded by the leans of the grant from awarding any xmouey tor the nurposes of assisting in the establishment of an agricultural school or institute, and that no grant in aid can be made except to such schools or institutions as are actually engaged in useful work during the present tinancial year, ending 31st March, 1590 and further, that such aid is only to be givon to a dairy 'school on the conditions :-That the school for which is sonant is the outcome of local ett'orc, aud iu>t in •Any way a private enterprise, and is advantageously situatea in a dairying district that there is not less I than an average of 25 cows to supply the daiiy in connection witiJ. tbe school and that satisfactory evidence is given of the competency of the principal instructor in the various processes of dairying. As regards the granting of aid towards iecfurcrs I the following conditions apply respect to peripatetic lecturers, there should be a class of not less Lhan twelve pupils for each course of lectures, and a dairy with all suitable appliances should he avail- able for practical demonstration and, further, that at least half the expense should be borne by the locality. As regards tlxed lecturers, the aid would be given in the forau of assisting pupils to attend the classes. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Hr.UBUtT M. Sept. Sir A. Cowell Stepney, Bart, M.P., House of Commons. They might start a factory for JS500, and it would result in farmers getting 3d or 4d per lb. moro for their butter. If they did uot help themselves they could not grumble at high rents or anything else. He should like the name of the society changed from that of Farmers' Club- clnb 11 generally meant a private enterprise—to Carmar- thenshire Dairy Farmers' Association, and such a title would secure for them a better reception when they went to the Privy Council for aid. (Hear, hear.) He would also suggest that a skilled agriculturist or expert should be engaged to lecture to the members at the quarterly meet- ings of the club or society For that they would have a grant which would more than cover the coat. If they started a factory lie was satisfied they would have a grant in March, 1S90. Sir Arthur Stepney would give £100 of the JE500 needed for the first factory and for the poorer districts he would advance money at four per cent. to start factories, and let the farmers of the locality buy him out when they could do so. (Applause.) He would suggest that the first factory should not be in the neighbourhood of a town whnre good prices were already obtained for butter, but in the remoter country districts. He thought St. Clear'a would be a good place. (Hear, hear.) After further discussion a motion in favour of immediately starting a factory was carried with- out a single dissentient, and the following were appointed a committee to take the matter in hand :-Messrs D. Howell Thomas, T. Evaus (Treventy), W. J. Wilson, J. L. Philipps (Bola- haul), W. Lloyd (Mydrim), W. J. Williams (Penianl, and W. Buckley-Roderick.

THE LAST WELSH DEED CASE. THE SMOKE NOT YET CLEARED AWAY. At Swansea county-court on Tuesday, Ann Lewis, of Pentre Eityll, the woman whose evidence in the deed case at the last assizes provoked such strong comments from the judge, sued Henry Jones, the cousin with whom she then aileged she had been in collusion to defraud her husband, for L3 2 6J, balance of an amount alleged to be due. The plaintiff urged that defendant was quite capable cf paying at once. Defendant declared he was not in a position to pay. He bad had to pay £ 60 costs in the action at the Assizes, in which Mrs Lewis, the plaintiff, had confessed to perjury, forgery, and fraud. The plaintiff had prevented his getting rents from the houses. She had lost her case at the assizes. but he (defendant) could not get his costs out of her, so be bad to pay B60. The case was one in which she tried tu recover some property. Plaintiff (excitedly): That was my own pro- perty. You know, it you do Defendant: Mr Justice Field didn't think go. He said it belonged to me, and you know what be said about you. Defendant further stated that he bad only received lis in four months from his property, owing to the plaintiff's interference. He asked for an adjournment. Mrs Lewis We won't adjourn it. He can pay, because he has other property besides that that he robbed me of, he did. His Honour made an order for payment in 28 days, subpendmg it six weeks. On the parties leaving the court a scene ansued in the vestibule, and Jones having, as is alleged, pushed Mrs Lewis, the lady menaced him so vigorously with her umbrella that he had to beat a retreat.

SWANSEA AND THE NATIONAL EISTEDDVOD.

It was considered a grievance in the Llanelly parish that, their valuation being much less than the county valua- tion, tbey should be compelled to pay on the latter. The clerk was instructed to attend to the matter.—New valuation lists were, on the application of the collectors, ordered to be pre- pared for their use for the parishes of Llanelly, Llangenny, and Llapgynidr.—Mr Roberts, col- lector, Llangynidr, suggested that as the water- works situate in Llangynidr parish had been much extended, they should be re-valued fo." assess. ment purposes.

Murphy, Wes- leyan minister, who has just completed his three years' ministry in the Newport circuit, was a few days ago made the recipient of a handsomely-fitted travelling bacp as a slight token of the esteem in which be is held by his friends at Maindee, where he was located.

ClilCKET. SURREY CLUB AND GROUND v GLAMORGAN SB I LIE. As might perhaps have been expected from the state of the score over night, the match at Kennington Oval, between Surrey Club and Ground and Glamorganshire, resulted yesterdav in a Tictory for the County team. At the drawing of stumps on Mon- day the game stood -Surrey, 1st innings, 151 Glimorgansuire, 221 for nine wickets, so That with a I wicket to fall the County had obtained a lead of 61 runs. The outstanding wicket only added two runs, and so the innings ended for 221, Liudley being left to take out his bat for 31, a vigorous dispiav, which included no fewer than seven 4s. On going in for the second time, the Surrey Club were handicapped by the absence of Brockwell, who had been summoned to Cheltenham to take Mr Shuter's place in the Surrey eleven against Gloucestershire. A very fair start was made, 32 runs being scored for the first wicket, and the total at the fall of the third having reached 64. Atter that, how- ever, the batting fell off, and the bowling vot so much the upper hand tha.t the other six wickets only put on 17 run«, the inninps closing for 82. Mills played very fair cricket for his 30, but no one else did much. Lindley and Wilkinson took four wickets each, but the former had bv far the better average. Glamorganshire had and Wilkinson took four wickets each, but the former had bv far the better average. Glamorganshire had only 21 runs to get to win, but the task caused some troui de, four wickets going down for 18 runs, before Messrs Ciarfee and Williams finishea off the name. Thus Glamorganshire gained a very creditable victory by six I wickets. Full score and an.lysis;— SURREY CLUB A-WI) GROtTKD. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings. H. C. Cooper, b Wilkinson 7 stpd Jones, b W.

There is every prospect of a good match between tbe above teams. They meet to-day and Thursday at the Cardiff Ariiis Park, and, with the weather tine, some excellent play should be witnessed. The names of those who will represent the London club are at present uncertain, as many of those engaged at Bath yesterday will arrive this morning. Mr Perkins though, has promised to send six professionals, so that tbe eleven will be a powerful ^iie even if the sm-iteurs are not very accomdished. The county has a c ipitai team t-j putin the field, and will be almost similar to that which was victorious over Surrey. Under these circumstances sood cricket should be shown. It is to be hoped that the puolic w; sn;ir>ort tht county club liberally. Play commences at 12.30. CHELTENHAM WEKK.—GLOU CESTERSH1RE v. b u AH £ y. A very interesting day s oricket took place a.t CheV tenhain yesterday. I which each county in turn ap- peared to hold the stronger position, anri which was finally left 10 an apparently favourable state for Surrey. The visitors, for wuom Brockwell plaved after all, owjne to Mr banter s continued indisposition, at first had all the worst of the game, for on going in against Gloucestershire s innings of 201 they lost three wickets for eigh. runs, and five for 36. Then, however, Maur ce Read anai Jenderson played a brilliant forcing game together, and, aided by some luck in the matcer of dropped catches, they added no fewer than 88 runs for the sixth wicket, and thus saved the follow on Henderson was out at 124 for an invaluable 31, in which he gave an easy cbance to Brain when but eight, whiie Maurice Read, who was batting for two hoars a,nd 50 minutes, scored 93 out of !b7, having gone in first and being out seventh. He might have been caught at point when only four but for E. M. Grace slipping in trying to get to the chance. He was palpably missed by Radcliffe at mid off and cover point, the latter chance being a very simple one, when 48, and later t'till Roberts failed to hold a catch at mid-on when the batsman was 83. These mistakes apart, Itead's dispiay was a brilliant exhibitiou of generally well timed hitting, and he undoubtedly played the right game under the circumstances. Finally the Surrey innings closed for 185, or only 18 runs behind Gloucestershire, 011 goiog io a secend time, looked at one time as if they m were going to atone for their bad fielding by some admirable batting, and indeed 70 went up with only two wickers down. Then, however, Brockwell justified bis st;ection by some capital bowling, in the course of which he dismissed three batsmen in four balls, and in a few minutes six men were out for 78. Before play ceased three other wickets fell, and at the drawing of i, stumps nine were down for 107, so that Gloucestershire, with a wicket to fall, left off 12b run? on. The best performances yesterday, after Maurice Read's hitting, were the admirable batting displays of Radcliffe anu. W. G. Grace, the sunerb running catches that M. Read made wben lie dismissed W. G. Grace and Cranston, a-id the bowling achievements of Woof and Brockwell, Present scure. GIXJUCESTERISHIRE. h: Innings. inõ Tnninc* W.

Although there was a full day's piay yesterday at Maidstone, tbe game going on without interruption from a quarter-past twelve until six 0 clock, cnlv 202 runs were scored for the 10 wickets that, fell The g-ound was very soft after tbe fren.enaousiy heary -iuns of Monday night and yesterdav morning, and tbe tur; became diffi-tiii as it dried But as there was a higii ana boisterous wind, and the sun had little power, batsmen were not places in such serious position as tt),ey might have been. S zil. as it wa", the bowlers had the advantage, and :f Kent had held the catches offered there would not have been a great deal between the rival teams, whe-eas now the home side, with a wick^f down in their second innings, are 82 runs behind The feature of the day was the lone defensive baning dis- placed by Barlow, who went in first on Monday after- noon and carried tlis bat right through the innings f,)r 61. He was in four hours and 50 minutes, so that be only scored an average of about 10 run, an b-,ur. an,i was indeed three-quarters of an hour gettmg his last single Sugg l it 49 in 65 minutes Briggs was only batting bO minute? for his 34 Wright bowled splen. dully, and repeatedly beat the batsmen while Martit had extraordinary illfortune H? bowied parlicuiarlj well, but most of the missed chance* wer/off hife bowling, and his analysis reads one wicket, that of Mr Hornby on Monday, for tl9 runs, so tb it he did not meet. witb any success at all yesterday rUJre was a capital attendance of spectators throughout the auer noon.

YORKSHIRE So much rain bad fallen in Nottingham on Monday night that the wicket at, Tre"t Bridge was quite untit. for cricket yesterday morning, and it 11'4< nor until 10 minutes past three that anv progress could be made with the match. At that hour, thanks to a very hiitu wind, the ground hart recovered to a considerable ex- tent, but ic was, of course, very soft and slow. York- shire, who on the previous day had sc ired 161 f-»r th loss of five wickets, found rut:-setting extremely difficult against Attewell and Richardson, ltie remainder of the visitors' innings lasteci two hours, but only 33 runs were added to the total, and the play proved extremely tedious to the spectators, of whom about a thousand assembled at the cricket-ground. Tile Yorkshire innings closed at 10 minutes past five for 193. Browne carried out his bat for a well-played, it somewnat lucky. 35 Notts bad an hour's batting, and iu this time scored 61 runs for the loss of two wickets, being at the finish 13d behind with eight wickets to fail. Mr Dixon and .Shrewsbury made 4o runs before they were parted in half an hour, the Notts cpa¡1\ batting awaj in a iuaziiier which was must refreshing after the dull cricket of Yorkshire.
