SERIOUS LABOUR TROUBLES AT CARDIFF. THE MOUNTSTUART DRY DOCK DISPUTE. A GREAT STRIKE INEVITABLE. The circumstances under which the 200 and edd men left their work at the Mount Stuart Dry Dock, Cardiff, on Monday, and apparently settled the dispute by returning 24 hours later, have afforded material for general speculation amongst Trades Unionists during the week but it may well be doubted whether the real situation has been understood. When the National Labourers' Union (of which Mr A. J. Knny is secretary was recognised by the firm some time since, a man employed as haulier was included in the terms, and his wages were fixed at 24s per week, extra time to be paid for at the rate of time-and-three-quar- terll. About a fortnight ago he was offered thirty shillings per week to cover everything, but acting on the advice of the Union he took no notice of the proposal and when he presented himself last Monday morning at six o'clock be was peremptorily ordered to clear out." It was then ascertained that a non- unionist had been put on in his place; and the officials of the Union having learned the facts, it was decided that the whole yard should strike in support of the aggrieved ostler. Conferences between representatives of the firm and the Union took place during the day, in the course of which it was stated that the company had decided to send the horse from the yard, and have the hauling or carting doue by contract, tenders for this work being produced as evidence of the course about to be pursued. Mr Kenny was also informed that the horse was about to be sent to Llandaff, and the non-unionist was called up to take the horse away but Mr Kenuy refused to accede to such an arrangement, on the giound that the pioper man to do so was the supplanted dtiver but ultimately a coachman of one of the directors arrived, and the horse was handed over to him and led out and the blackleg" being also taken from the yard, Mr Kenuy decided that the mea should return to work tha following morning, conditionally upon au interview being arranged between the directors and the Union's officials, in order to settle and clear up the horse difficulty. The meeting was fixed for Wednesday tore- noon, but it has not yet taken place, the absence of one of the directors (Mr John Gunn) being advanced as the cause of the delay and the latest information is that it shall take place to-morrow morning. From what has transpired, however, it is stated that a complete march has been stolen on the Union, inasmuch as, while the horse was not sent to Llandaff, but is now being stabled, not with a view to sale, at a wall-kuown repository, the "blackleg has managed by some unexplained means to become a member of the Union, aud is now work- ing at the yard. This is a matter which is being fully inquired into; but the feeling of the Union officials is that the hands having returned to work, time has been obtained by the company to enable them to arrange for the ships in dock being sent to other yards to be repaired and therefore in the event of the meet- ing taking place to-morrow the directors may assume an independent attitude towards the Union. This eventuality is being prepared for, aud the declaration has been made that should such a course be adopted, the Union wiii call every one of its members out from the other yards and works throughout the town. Very much depends, therefore, on the morrow; and it cauuot be g:unsaid that the situation is far more critical than general appearances suggest. Riggers, coal-trimmers, and labourers of every class are associated with the the Union, aud such a demonstration as seems inevitable in the cause of unity could not fail to produce a paralysing effect upon the trade of the town and port.

ASSAULT BY A CARDIFF PAWNBROKER. T. S. Bomash, a pawnbroker, carrying on busi- ness in Qaeeu-etisei, Cardiff, was summoned at tho Cardiff police-court, on Friday, for committing au assault on Phceoe Bernaan, a mar- riod lady, on the night of the 13".h inst. Mr Gsorge David defended, and Mr Belcher appeared for the complainant. Mrs Berman stated that on the night of the 13til inst. she had, by the direction of her husband, who was a practical tailor, taken some clothes to the defendant's house in Cowbridge road. Defendant tried on the coat, and because, in his opinion, it did not fit to a nicety, he got in a great passion and said, "I have better coats than this in my pawnshop at 3.1." Complainant said he was a most unreasonable man, and then he describod her as baing as much a swindler as her husband. Afterwards he pushed her from the parlour into the passage, and followed her to the doorstep, finishing up by kicking her down the steps, and subsequently kicking her two or three times oil. the leg. Althougii subjected to savere cross-examination by Mr Goorge David, the complainant's testimony remained unshaken. Albert Henry Orchard, who elected to affirm, said that he wai passing Cow bridge-road shortly after eleven o'clock on the night of the 13th when he heard a gruff and angry voice crying out, "Go out; go out." As lie ap- proached he saw the door opened and saw a man whom be now recognised as defendant deliberately kick the complainant several times. Mrs Bermau, with whom he had no previous acquaintance, then complained about the treat- ment she had received. Ha would think, too, that, if appearances were any criterion,the woman bad been very roughly handled. A servant girl in defendant's employ was the next witness examined, and her testimony was diametrically opposed to that previously adduced. The Stipendiary: You are guilty of having committed an unprovoked and brutal assalilt on a woman, and I shall impose the substantial penalty of J62 and costs. After a short consultation with his solicitor, in which he used his persuasive powers to n3 advantage, for Mr David got up abruptly and walked out, the defendant, ad- dressing the Bench in an excitable manner, em- phatically protested against such an unjust punishment. Tha Stipendiary: You have laid your foot on the woman, and I have fined you for so doing.

ALLEGED INDECENT ADVERTISEMENTS. At th" C"¡;ff j»nlir»<» onurf: nn 1t;d..y- before MrT. W. Lewis Professor" Williarp Price, herbalist, in business at Bute- street, was charged under section 4 of the Inde- cent Advertisements Act of 1590 with causing indecent adverlisement, to be delivered in the public streets Oil the 4th inst. Mr Edmunds, instructed by Mr McLachlan, prosecuted on benalf of the National Vigilance Association, and Mr Belcher appeared for the defence. Mr McLacblan said that on the 4th of this mouth he was passing along Bute-street on his way to the Docks when the objectionable handbill, which ho produced, was handed to him by a man, presumably in the employ of "Professor Price, who was standing outside his shep-door. He read the bill and others which were pasted in the window, and found them to be exactly similar in character. Oa bis return the man WM not to be seen, and he failed to meet the defendant. On tho following day, accompanied by Acting-Sergoant Robinson, whom he took with him as a witnees, he went into the shop and there saw the proprietor and asked if be would give him some copies of the bilts in the window. Professor Price answered that he had none left. Witness then produced one of thet bills which had been placed in his hand the day before, and asked him if that was one of his advertisements, and whether h9 had authorised a man to deliver it and others to paraous on the public streets. The defendant replied in the affirmative to all the questions. Cross-examined by Mr Belcher, witness denied that lie bad had some conversation with the defendant as to some medicine which he wanted to purchase, and that be .ent into the shop flourishing the handbill. He was positive that no more WI!j said than he had already stated, and that he had made a memorandum of the interview on his diary fo r the purpose of refreshing his memory. He had however, left the book at borne) and admitted no' having looked at the entry in question since the time his previous summons against the defendant was dismissed. t"tP. C. Robinson corroborated the evidence and the last witness in all essential particulars, and produced a pocket-book in which he bad written out the main points in the conversation which took place in his presence between Mr McLachlau and the defendant. Mr Belcher objected to the manner in which the prosecution had gone to work in this case, and spoke of the hardship of a tradesman who was ignorant of the law being subjected to a cross- examination by a practised solicitor. His client maintained that certain other subjects were dis- cussed at the meeting, and in mitigation of any offence he would urge the absence of intent. The Stipendiary observed that the question was one of some importance, and as this was the first case of this nature which bad arisen under the new Act he would take time to consider his decision, and would deliver judgment on Friday next.

A COBRA IN A PRINTING OFFICE. ] The otiipr evening, while the compositors of the Bombay Gazette were busy in the composing- room on the first floor, a full-grown and very vigorous cobra dropped from the roof, in which there are windows, and fell on the floor., The intruder and those intruded upon realised at once the danger of the situation, and took measures to evade it. The cobra made straight for an open window and got outside on to a iedge.wberett was despatched by a few blows from an iron bar. As this happened in a lofty room on an upper ftoor in a, crowded part of Bombay, where no gardens or trees exist, the question arises bow the cobra could have made his way to a position of vantage over the heads of a considerable number of workmen. The theory is that the reptile was brought to the town in a cartload of hay or fire- wood, and, escaping in some shed, worked his way upwrds to the roofs of the higher buildings in endeavouring to seek a place of safety.

GRIEVANCES OF CARDIFF TELEGRAPHISTS. Mr George Hoasou, the last of the exiled telegraph clerks to leave Cardiff, and who bas been undergoing a course of training during the last two months at Chatham with the Severn Division Submarine Miners, and has successfully completed his course as a military electrician, will leave for Shrewsbury, to which place he has been transferred from Worcester, by the 3 55 train this afternoon. His many friends will doubtless attend in full force at the station to wish their old col- league fareweil. At the Shrewsbury Station a demonstration, organised by one of the more pro- minent of the exiles, and one who has been twice removed since he left Cardiff, will be held.

FEMALE BABBifiRS. It is announcsd that an enterprising lady intends opening an establishment for the barbers' art, in which all tba assistants will be of the female sex. The novelty in the experi- ment appears to ba that gentlemen will be as accept,abia as ladies in the capacity of customers, and that Fpecial arrangements have been made for shampooing and shaving, for a few well- known London firms have long employed women to attend to their lady p.itrons. There seems no inherent objection to gmh a scheme, any more than to the common practice of male barbers for female hsads. It is only another sigrn of the equalisation of the labour market towards men ana women and seems to bring: the predic- tion of one of our leading lady doctors within bounds of probability, when she remarked that the time would come when it would not matter what was the sex of the practitioner, for the patient, either man or woman, would simply send for the cleverest doctor within reach, and this was as likely to be one or the other, -Daily Grapkic.

WHERE IS ST. TElLO'S BODY ? LFROM: A CORRESPONDENT.1 Sonne weeks ago a letter appeared in these hllnns asking for information as to the exact •Ration of the tomb of St. Teilo in Llandaff vathedrai. The inquirer did not eucceed in !eitin(j any reply to his question on this interest- IlIg point of local history, and we therefore Impose to examine the matter in some detail. need we offer any apology for searching ^'outely after the remains of that great and 'toiuant saint, who, more than aoy other man ef l* time, has permanently benefited the neigh- ourhood in which we live. thIn the first place, it will be well to inquire into credibity of the commonly-received opinion, Namely, that the tomb in the arched recess on the Outh side of the chance), on which is a recum- jto&t effigy of a bishop, is the tomb where reposes *oe body of St. Teilo. This is Statement which appears in the official guide sold at the cathedral 'd in all the official guide-books to this neigh- borhood, and it is traceable back to the year 'IS, when the architect Browne Willis wrote tUe preface to his account of tho cathedral kbric. Bishop Ollivant's "Account of Llan- daft Cathedral," 1860, says :—"The tomh ou the 80uth side of the Presbytery is now generally OIIlled, as it was in the time of Browne Willis; tomb." The last-named work also quotes tbe following note of Browne Willis in the Cole "*SS. referring to the tomb on tho south side of '116 presbytery :—" That this was St. Teilaw's toInb, appears from several, solemn oaths taken Ilpon it." Of this Willis cites instances from ancient charters, but it is not clear how he knew that the tomb in question was the one referred to bathe charters. Ollivant's account gives in full an inscription Omar, the intelligent foreman of Browne \\rillis, who superintended the erection of the Pseudo-classic portico in the chancel. The Bishop thus prefaces the inscription :—" When the wall at the back of ttPj portico was taken down in 1330 the following was found written on it." He does hot say on which side, but we may assume that tbe inscription was on the west side of the portico *&U and just under the chaucel arch. It i an as follows :— September the 8th, 1736. On the south side of this chansell Bare the lioor is a. Tumbe whin a beach now wall'd up it is supposed to be SanS lawe (iege Teilaw's) Tumbe when i opened the "■'utnbe the Parson buried apar'd to be a Bishop by his Pastorah Staffe ana Crotcher The Stale we came to Tuch it uropsa to peasis. But the Crotcher being Puter But (lege thro) almost Perished. But (dele) wold hold toogether. Besides the Stafe there was a large cup by his side, but almost perished. The most of Puter he was* rapt !>& Laather, and the upper part was very sound. John Woed Architect. Thomas Omar. We have thus traced to the early years of the last century the tradition that the tomb now Pointed out as Saint Teilo's is really his; and, Unless this can be disproved by clear evidence, We may rely upon it as a tradition handed down from pce-Ksfoimation date, and therefore trust- worthy. Let us see what contrary evidence exists. Weil, first, it appears that Mr Matthew Holbeach ISloxhain, the well-know. authority on eccle- siastical architecture, did not place faith in the tradition; for, in an article written by him in the "Arcisejiogia Cambrensis," on the tombs in Llandaff Cathedral he makes no mention of Saint eilo. though he bad been informed of the tradi- tion by the verger, as the latter tolls me. On the Contrary, writiug of the tomb on the south side of the chancel, Mr Bloxbam says The effigy, Which is undoubtedly of twelfth century work, represents some bishop who enlarged the cathedral at that period." Yet it is obvious that those who rebuilt the cathedral in the twelfth century would probabiy Haute a new-«ifigy of Saint Teilo, with vestments of the shape in use at that period. So that, if Mr Bloxham had any definite reasons for doubt- tag that the tomb was Saint Teilo's, he has left us in ignorance of them. But we are now come to what affords at first sight a serious objection to our accepting the prevailing opinion that the tomb in the south Wall of the chancel is the resting-place of Saint Teilo. In the Arcbse ilogia Cambrensis," 1887, p. 225, will be founa a copy of certain Laud Rsveuua Record*, temp. Phillip and Mary, which make reference to the shrine of Saint Teilo, in the following terms :— First oone Shryne of St Tiiliar of silver p'ceU gilte of the covenuge, in or Lady chapell of Landaf aforesaid." Here we have the plainest evidence that Saint eilo's shrine was in the lady chapel at the ex- treme east end of the cathedral, behind the high altar, a. position corresponding to that ot the ubriues of Saint Edward the Confessor at West- minster and of Saint Alban at bis Hertfordshire Abbey Church, the question is, did this abrine in the Llandaff Lady Chapel contain the body of Saimt Teilo 2 If it did, we are face to face with the unpleasant probability that the saint's remains, like those of Saint Alban and so many others up and down the country, were destroyed at the Reformation, when the shrine was, as we shall see, pulled down and broken up. In this case, therefore, the present belief that we have Saint Teilo's body in the tomb south of the altar would be obviously erroneous for it is in the highest degree improbable that the Reformers would re-inter the saint's body, with his pastoral staffs and bis chalice, in such a place of honour. If, on the other hand, the lady chapel abril8 ef Saint Teilo did not his body, what were the contents of the shrine ? The answer that suggests itself is that it contained portions of.Saint Teilo's body, removed from the tomb, together with other of his relics. In fact, the conclusion that we have come to, after a careful study of the ques- tion, is that Saint Teilo's shrine in the lady chapel was a large but portable silver casket or reliquary, and that it contained the bead of the saint (enclosed in a silver covering, shaped Jjke a living head), and other members of the great bishop, such as his shoes. The following are extracts from the above-cited records bearing on this particular point :— Mr John Broxbolme, gentleman, had the shryne of Seynt Tobya in Landaf, the iij Seynts hedds wt tbeyr mytors on, sylv' doblegylte." Robart Holgate, then busshopp jfi'Landaph, and the Chaptyer of the Cathedral Churche of Landaph were possessed of one fbryne called Sayntelyaves Shryne, standing in the sayd CatbdraU Churche of Landaph." One Henry Morgan and dyvers other dyd pull down the sayd shryne aad brake byte in many peces, and p'te of the &ims dyd convaye awaye and torned to their owne uses." "The Lord Cromwell sent for the sayd shrine to be brought to London." "The canons baaded to tbe commissioner about 600 lbs of gilded plate, which they sayd was theyr sayd whole shryne." The sayd late bushopp )i Landaph bad taken away tlae sayd shryno." A grate [grating] of inn that was abowte the shrine." It'm a grate pece of sjJfer with a cover gilte." It is known that Saint David's shrine at Menevia was a reiiqarjr unconnected with the tomb, and this strongV supports our conclusions. Certainly we should be unwise not to interpret the above records in be light of the very definite tradition that Saint Teilo's tomb is the one on the epistle side of th chancel at Llandaff.

SCOTCH IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, Fridy.—There has been a rather more hopeful tone n the Scotch iron trade this week. More busiess than has been usual of late has been done in -he Glasgow warrant market, a considerable amcnt of Scotch iron having been purchased for deJvery out of store to consumers, and some speculitive business is also reported at the close of he market. For the week Scotch warraits are up 9!J, Cleveland Is 3d, and Cumberland 8d above the finishing prio of last week. Special brands of bar ron are also firmer. Eglington it is up Is; Grthorrie No. 1, Is, and No. 3, 2s. Stocks in GJa!(()W iron stores shew a reduction of upwards of 8)00 tons for this week. The ship- meats of tll, iron are increasing in amount. In the mailable iron trade, makers complain that they camot gat customers to specify for work that been placed for ome time at high pricee. Thee is a great lack of fresh orders, and although tie old quotations are nominally adhered to,some firms are prepared to quote 10s leas, if asnred of orders. The position of the steel trades more satitjactory. A considerable amount o new work was placed this week for sbipbuildiig, the first for several weeks back.

Spanish bonds. Mr Michaal Abrahams prosecuted on behalf of several English and foreign banks. It was said the forged bonds were depesited for loans. Prisoner Was remanded.

WELSH AND IllISH INDUSTRY. PREVENTION OF LABOUR BY THE GOVERNMENT." LETTER FROM MR PRITCHARD MORGAN, M.P. We are requested to publish the following letter which has been addressed to the Prince Minister by Mr W. Pritchard Morgan, M.P. for the Merthyr Boroughs :— To the Most Honourable the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G. Mr LORD MAEQUISJ—I beg most respectfully to lay before your lordship the following facts :— In the year 1884, having satisfied myself that gold, silver, and other metals existed in payable quantities in North Wales, I commenced pur- chasing freehold lands, and obtaining mining leases of private lands in the district, and pro- ceeded to develop them with a view to mining for gold and silver and other metals. In pursuance of my project I expended in the purchase of free- hold land and in machinery and development Beyond the £60,000 a further sum of £80,000 has been spent upon a single pro- perty in machinery and development, and that property now belongs to a iimiteq, liability com- pany, the shareholders of which number 700. From the figures I have mentioned you will see that no less a sum than £140,000 has been laid out. A large proportion of this amount was ex- pended in gold mining, with the knowledge ot the Departments of the Public Service whose duty it was to make themselves acquainted with the subject, and if I had encroached upon, or in- fringed rights claimed by the Crown, to have apprised me of the fact. However, I was suffered to proceed with my work, and no steps were taken to binder me until April, 1885, when pro- ceedings were taken in the Courn of Chancery to prevent me from mining for gold and silver on tho lands I have mentioned. The directors of the Limited Liability Company considered it ad- visable in the interests of the shareholders to sub- mit to the imposition of royalties upon the gross product of such lands, pending the decision of the action taken against me personally, and they have paid in royalties and direct taxation several thousands of pounds to the State. Being a member of the House of Commons, I hesitate before even allowing my friends to bring the matter before the House. I have endeavoured by every means in my power to induce the Crowu law officers to bring the action they have insti- tuted against me to an issue, but without effect, though it is only fair to state that some months since, in consequence of a serious illness, the Crown law officers were requested by my legal advisers not to bring the mattor on for trial at that moment, as I was unable to attend the court to give evidence. All the pleadings have been closed for many mouths past, and the case set down for trial, and I am desirous that the hearing should be no longer de- layed. 1 may say that prior to my illness, and since, I have endeavoured, in every way, to get a trial on the issue raised by the law officers of the Crown, but my efforts have been rendered inoperative by the law's delay." I ana advised by my leading counsel that the case can have but one result, ami tbat is the dis. solution of the injunction. Anticipating that beyond all question, the action would ba tried ere now, and definitely decided one way or another, I entered into a contract with the limited liability company already mentioned to transfer to them certain lands, and to pay them a sum of £25,000 for further expenditure upon machinery aud development of the lands, for which the com- pany was to issue to me certain shares. The delay iu the trial, and the fact that an injunction is in existence restraining my working or iu any way dealing with my lands as mineral properties, prevents realisation on these lands, of the develop- ment of them, and has so far reduced the value of the properties as even to prevent my dealing with them in any way. I do not complain of, though I would point out, the anomaly which exists in the British Empire. The subjects of the Crown are freely allowed and encouraged to mine for gold and silver upon Crown lands in every other part of her Majesty's possessions except Great Britain. In Great Britain royalties are in- sisted upon the gross production, whether that production be obtained at a loss or at a profit. In the colonies we are allowed to mine on Crown lands without imposition at home the Crown royalty is demanded, not only on Crown lands, but on private property as well. This is neither following out the principle of free trade, nor is it adopting a policy of protection. Bearing those facts in mind, I consider I have every cause to complain, not only of the manner iu which I have been treated by the Crown Law Officers, but by those administering the miniug department of the public service. You will naturally ask, Is the subject matter worthy of my consideration as tho head of the Government ?" I answer—(1) £ 140,000 have been expended in developing the "industry whose Cause I am advocating. (2) I am prevented by the Crown injunction from expending additional capital, and thus giving employment to a large number of men. (3) About 300 men are already employed in gold mining in Wales, and many hundreds more would secure employment if the actiou commenced against me by the Crown wera decided. (4) 700 people believe iu Welsh gold mining so far as to be pecuniarily interested in it. Of course, you are entitled to aslc the further question, In the industry rxely to continue a success, and is it wurthy of my attention 1" I answer — (1) The company to which I have previously referred, numbering 700 of her Majesty's suuject, has expended £80,000 upon one property. (2) That property aioue has supplied and made marketable between 12,000 and 13,000 tons of golden ore, which have produced an average of over loz. to the ton, or a money value of £3 17s 6d per ton, the total production being approxi- mately half a ton of gold of the value of £ 5C,C00. (3) That company has earned continuously a profit and paid dividends to its shareholders. (4) That the average yield per ton is equal to many of the best goldheldn of the world. (5) Machinery capable of treating 30,000 tons of ore per annum has just been erected upon the property of the company. (6) Sir Warington Smyth, F.R.S., Chief Mineral Inspector, Professor of Mining, Royal School of Mines, Dr La Neve Foster, and Mr A. E. Pinching, H.M.'s Inspectors of Metal- liferous Mines, have all inspected the work which bis been done in North Wales, and can give your lordship reliable information upon the sub- ject. (7) A work entitled" Gold, not only in Wales, but in Grent Britain and Ireland," by A. J.Vanderbilt, 1688 (a copy of which I forward for your lordship's perusal) contains scientific and historical data corroborative of the correctness of the practical conclusions which I formed many years ago, that gold and silver exist in Wales which, with the application of the scientific knowledge and improved machinery of to-day, can be worked with profit to those engaged in the industry, and with great advantage to the State. I do not seek any favour from the Crown in this matter. I am willing, nay, more,I am anxious —tofight the action upon its legal merits and my great cause of complaint is the unjust and un- reasonable delay to which I have been subjected, and which may have a disastrous effect upon me and delay the development of the industry. The following suggestions present themselves to the publtc mind :— The gold and silver in Great Britain are for the most part contained in Wales and iu Ireland,and, as these two portions of her Majesty's possessions send as representatives to the House of Commons an overwhelming number of men pledged to oppose her Majesty's present Government, it is assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the Government is hostile to the interests of Wales and Ireland. I do not for moment suggest that your lordship has even the slightest knowledge of any of the facts which 1 have disclosed to you. That the chief law offioer of the Crown, the Attorney- General, ie solely to blame for this delay I am confident; and although a defeat in the action I have brought to your notice may not have the same effect as the result of the Parnell Commission has bad, still a small defeat after a great one could not add to his power, either politically or professionally. Probably, if the Attorney-General had not been so absorbed for the last two years in endeavouring to maintain his political position and his professional reputation, and in guarding his personal interests in both capacities, be might have found time, even if be were not disposed to give the action of "The Crown v. Pritchard Morgan his personal atten- tion, to have allowed some other counsel to bring the matter to an issue. It will probably suggest itself to your lordship's mind that, if tho Ctown is entitled to the gold and silver in these private lauds, it is not to the interest of the State that the claims of the Crown should be postponed. On the other hand, if tho Crown is not so entitled—and I defy the Attorney- General to prove otherwise—thenagroat injustice has been inflicted on a subject of the Crown for no greater blU than a desire to develop the native wealth and natural industry of his country. If there were a Minister for Mines in Great Britain, as in most, if not all other portions of the empire (and it must be remembered that it has lately been deemed necessary to appoint a Minister for Agriculture), I should have bad some responsible Head of Department to whom to appeal. I trust, in all the circumstance*, that this matter, trivial though it may appear to be, will receive that fair consideration at your bauds which all classes of the comirfunity have a right to expect ftom one occupying, as you do, so high and exalted a position in the Government of Great Britain. I shall be glad to supply your lordship, or any person whom you may appoint, with any further information upon the subject. I have tue honour to be, My Lord Marquis, Your first obedient servant, W. PRITCEtARH MORGAN. House of Commons, 20 Ji Ma tch, 1890. P.S.—I purpose publishing this latter at once, and hope to have au opportunity of publishing your lordship's reply at an early date. W.P.M.

THE MEYRICK ENDOWMENT. ) The Times yesterday devoted a long article to the disputed Meyrick Eudowment, which the members of Padiament for Wales are seeking to have devoted to the purposes of intermediate education in the principality..The endowment is at present enjoyed by Jesus College, Oxford. Tho dispute arises about the application of a sum of £ 20,000, being the accumulated surplus of what is well kuown to Welshmen as the Meyrick Endow- ment. This endowment was bequeated in 1712 by the Rev Edmund Meyrick in trust to the Principal and Fellewo of Jesus College, Oxford, for the encouragement" as tho testator declared in his will, "of learning 10 Jesus College Oxford," and, among other specified purposes, some of which have become obsolete, for the assistance of poor scholars, being natives of Wales, as exhibi- tioners at that college. The endowment being derived from land has now largely increased in value, the surplus being paid into the Court of Chancery, and applied from time to time, with the. assent of the court and the approval of other authorities concerned, to purposes more or less approximate to the intentions and directions of the founder. The Charity Commissioners, as well as their predecessors, the Endowed Schools Com- missioners, had repeatedly attempted to appro- priate a substantial portion of the endowment to the purposes of intermediate education in Wales, and had so far failed, in consequence of the oppo- sition of the college to such application, the college not feeling itself justified in asseqting to so wide a departure from the terms of the founder's bequest. At a recent meeting the Welsh members made a representation on the subject of the endowment, and to this the authori- ties of Jesus College have now replied. Com- menting on this reply, the Timei a.%ys:- In a very temperate and effective reply to the state- ment of the Welsh members a reply which for moderation of tone and accuracy of recital contrasts very favourably with the statement itself-the college bas shown not only that it is ready tor the sake of peac,) to waive the assertion of its strict legal and statutory rights, but that if the Welsh members are of the same moderate temper, the whole matter may be settled without the necessity of anything more than a formal application for Parliamentary sauction, involving no party controversy and no appre. ciable expenditure of time. We thoroughly sym- pathize," says the College in the concluding paragraph ef its reply, "with the efforts of those who wish to promote Intermediate Education in Wales. and are convinced that this question might be settled in a manner satisfactory to the whole principality, if the members of Parliament for Wales and Monmouthshire would approach the subject in a conciliatory spirit, and assist us in altering the Meyrick Statute, under the powers given by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1877, sections 54. 65, in a manner consistent with the educational in- terests of Welshmen in Oxford as well as in Wales. The matter could thus ba arranged with ex- pedition, and without trespassing on the time of the House of Commons." It remains for the Welsh mem- bers to say whether they are prepared to accept this reasonable and conciliatory offer if they decline it, surely the Government must on their part refuse, in the interests alike of public time and public policy, to give them facilities for passing a bill of tbelr own-a bill in the working of which, if it ever became law, the handful ot Conservatives and Unionists among tha Welsh members would inetitably find themselves ignored by a triumphant majority of extreme Radicals.

THE SWANSEA BRIDGE TOLLS ABOLITION. HOW TO VOTE, Theta appears to be much misapprehension as to how ratepayers are tu vote on the advisability or otherwise of abolishing the bridge tolls and town dues. This is, apparently due to the am- biguity of the form ot voting. It is as fellows :— Do you vote in iavcur of or against the carry- ing into effect the provisions of part X of the Swansea Corporatwn Act, 1889 Those anxious to vote for the abolition should put their initials in tbe column headed "in favour of," which means in favour of carrying into effect tho provisions of the act which permits the abolition. Those desirous of voting against the abolition shouid put their initials in the column headed against.

AFFAIRS OF A NEWPORT BAKER. The first meeting of creditors to the estate of Egbert Restarick Waldron, baker, late of lC, Cross street, Newport, and now of Christchurch, near Newport, was held on Friday, at tho offices of the ütficjal Receiver. The liabilities were £210, and the assets 5" leaving a deficiency ot £182 The causes ot iaiiure were assigned to oe ihness of wife for two years, and loss of trade in conse- quence thereof. The debtor commenced business in September, 1831 (with a capital of £10 which he received trom his wife), at Banesweli, New- port, where he carried ou busmeis until 1632, whan he removed to Barnarutown and tradeú there for six lu^-nHis. removing to (Jross-ntrp.»-. early in tho year 18S3, having yurciiaeed from Mr Heary Coilins the cakery business carried ou by hun f»r £ 65, which he paid with borrowed money ( £ 6C of which is stdl owing). Tho debtor states that in October, 1889, he sold the Cross- street business for £ 12 and removed to Christ- church, where he h.is siuce traded. No books of account havi been kept, except a bread delivery book. his pony and trap for £10 to enable him to file his petition. Ttie household furniture in debtor's possession is claimed by the debtor's wife as being her own property, having been given to her by her mother before her marriage. A private meeting of creditors was held at the office of Messrs Downing and Handcock, solici- tors, Newport, on the 23rd December, when a statement of affairs was presented showing lia- bilities £203 and assets £20. An offer of 2< 6'i in the £ (subject to time being given for payment) was suumtbted to the meeting, but not accepted. The debtor admits that he became aware of his insolvency about nine months ago, and that ha has since then contracted debts, but states that his liabilities have not bean increased. Not being in a position to make any offer to the creditors, the debtor bas been adjudicated bankrupt.

A CLERGYMAN'S DILEMMA. When a clergyman finds himself in a dilemma h3 doaa wail to take the congregation into hit confidence. The pastor of a suburban parish ascended the puipit the other evening to preach his week-night sermon, but when he opened his manuscript covers ho found, to his horror, that the discourse he had brought with him was not the cne he intended to deliver, but was what he had preached to the same congregation on the previous Sunday. He did not feel equal to an extempore oration, and, firmly convinced that honesty is the best policy, he faced the stern facts of the situation boldly. Without circumlocution he to!d his axpactant hearers exactly what was his difficulty, and then left them to recover from the effects of their sur- prise. A moment later a surpliced figure might have been seen hurrying to the vicarage close by, and before many minutes had elapsed tha parson, breathless but triumphant, again ascended the pulpit to enforce the moral aad spiritual lessons embodied in the homily ha had accidentally left at ueme,

THE BEAR ON THE WELSH MOUNTAINS. A correspondent, writing from ,Penruaenmawr, states that on Saturday a party of farmers set out- in search of the bear which has been ranging the Aber mountains recently with considerable detri- ment to the live stock of the neighbourhood. In the course of their quest one of the huntsmen, observing a brown animal of considerable size lying apparently asleep under a tree, dis- charged his gun at it with fatal effect. The victim of his z-Jal, however, turned out to be uothin more ionnidable than u, commou donkey. The hunters, in no way discouraged by this un- fortunate contretemps, persevered in their endea- vours to discover tue wisfling bear, aud were at last successful m finding him, when his career was put a stop to by a few well-directed bullets.

DISASTER IN THE CHANNEL. On Thursday afternoon a French seaastn,nnft of the crew of a Boulogne fishing smack, No. 1,440/ arrived at Dover, and was taken to the Sailor* Home. H was brought to Dover by the schooner Empress, of Whitstable, bound for Shields, which bad sustained damage to her bows in a collision with the fishing boat. The collision occurred off the South Fore land on Wednesday night, shortiy after dark. A breach was made 111 the side of the smack be;ow the water-line. The Frenchman managed to save himself by jumping aboard the schooner, but the other vessel floated by rapidly with the rest of the crew. There were eight men on board the smack. It was lost sight of, and it is feared that it sank,

The London Gazette announce- that tho Quees has aoiKerieil a baronetcy of the United Kingdona upon James Thompson Mackenzie, of Glee iiuick, Aberdeenshire. The growing reputation of Herefordshire hops for delicacy of flavour, and the consequent inereasa in the acreage planted, is a mattep of frequent comment in the trade papers, espacialli- in view of the fact that the of hop-lane, in Kent is decreasing. The Brewers'Journal for Novem- ber remarks that brewers are rapidly buymg up the whole of the growth of WoruesLers," the quality of which they fiud superior to even the finest East Sents. The clean picking and excellent curing of Worcester hops have stood the planters in good stead. It is a curious anomaly that two-thirds of the so-called Wor- oesters are grown iu Herefordshire, the tmna of the latter couuty being never applied to hops in the trade. Messrs Charles Watkins and Son, of the Hereford Brewery, have invariably purchased direct from local growers all hops used in brewing their speciality, the Golden Sunliglit Ale, and attribute not a little of its reputation tt this aud to the fact that tha whole of their mall is made by themselves from hoinu-erowa barley, 1302
