A collision has occurred near Sandomierz, a frontier town on the Vistula, between three Russian spies and some Austrian frontier guards.

ILLNESS OF GENERAL GRENFELL. [BEUTER'S TELEGRAM.] WADY HALF A, Sunday. General Sir Francis Grenfell, the Sirdar, has arrived here on his tour. of inspection of the Nile posts. He is suffering -from a slight attack of influenza., A large per- centage of the troops here are also suffering from the same complaint. The cavalry here made a survey as far as Akasbeh, but have returned here without seeing any dervishes. Yesterday, however, a dervish patrol of 12 men was sighted near Ambigolimells, their probable intention being to ascertain the reasons for the massing of Egyptian troops at this place, where a large force is at present concentrated in order to take part in the frontier manoeuvres, which com- mence to-morrow with a grand review by the Sirdar.

SALVATIONISTS AT EAST- BOURNE. The Eastbourne police again on Sunday after- noon refused to allow the Salvationists to parade on the beach, and a scene of great tumult was witnessed on the Grand-parade and in Devon- shire-place, the mob attacking the Salvationists and severely handling them. One man was roughly handled until rescued by the police, who had the utmost difficulty in coping with the disorder. They eventually marshalled the scat- tered Salvationists in one body, and escorted them back to their citadel amid the groans and jeers of a large hostile crowd.

THE SOCIALIST RIOTS AT BERLIN. fBKOTBIrS TELEGRAM. 1 BERLTN, Friday. Up to a late hour last night the mob continued their attempt to assemble at various points, but no serious excesses occurred in any quarter of the city, and in every case the crowds dispersed when the police appeared on the scene. About half- past eight in the evening the Emperor left the palace to attend a costume ball at the residence of the hereditary Prince and Princess of Saxe Meiningen. The people congregated near the gates, then dispersed of their own accord. BERLIN, Saturday. The Social Democratic organ Vonvarts to-day publishes in the most prominent position an appeal to the working classes of Berlin,, urgently calling upon the members of the Social democratic party to abstain from joining any gatherings in the streets. Tumult and destruc- tion of property are not, it says, the means of re- lieving prevailing distress. The Social Democratic members of the Municipal Council have proposed that a special meeting of the Council be summoned to discuss an urgent motion that employment should be found for those who are in need of it by the setting on foot of various works by the city. BERLIN, Saturday. The disorders of yesterday were again renewed to-day. At an early hour large numbers of people assembled in front of the Palace, and by noon the crowd, which had then increased to several thousands, began to assume a threatening atti- tude. Orders were consequently given to clear the square, and the mounted police charged with drawn sabres. Many in the mob offered a stubborn resistance, and one policeman was dragged from his horse and had to be rescued by his comradcs. In the course of the afternoon similar scenes occurred. Small groups of un- employed and roughs kept forming in the Untfr den Linden, and also on the square be- tween the Museum and the Royal Castle, buc in the majority of cases the police had no trouble in maintaining order and preventing any obstruction of traffic, and the change of guard at the Palace, which always attracts many sightseers, failed to bring to- gether more than about the usual number. As Î the evening approached, however, fresh disorders broke out in the quarters inhabited by the working classes, especially,in the north-eastern district. In the Brunnen, Rosenthaler, and frankfurter Strassen serious conflicts occurred between the mob and the police, and a number of persons were injured on both sides, while many of the rioters were arrested. Shortly before six Qlock a collision took place between the police and a large crowd which assembled at the Haekesche Market, and which the police only succeeded in breaking up after charging with drawn swords. An order was issued by the authorities in the course of the evening instructing the inhabitants to close their houses and to remain indoors. At nine o'clock the situation still looked serious, and all the available police have been concentrated in the disturbed districts. The disorders are spreading to Tegel, an outlying suburb, where a rough crowd has been in conflict with the police. The mounted gendarmery have also been called out in the Nieder-Barnim district. Further troubles are feared by the authorities to-morrow, and elaborate precautions are being taken. The troops are all consigned to barracks. The Emperor drove out at half-past two this afternoon in an open carriage, attended by only one aide-de-camp. He returned an hour later, and soon afterwards the Empress also drove out. Both their Majesties were greeted quietly but respectfully by the large crowd of promenaders. A force of 300 is kept in reserve at the Palace.

ST, DAVID'S DAY CELEBRA- TIONS. LONDON WELSH NATIONAL BANQUET. [FROM OUR LONDON WELSH CORRESPONDENT.] Owing to other engagements of the Lord Mayor, who had promised to preside, the London Welsh National Banquet was held this year somewhat earlier than usual. It was held on Saturday night at the First Avenue Hotel. The Lord Mayor presided, and about 200 persons sat down to dinner, including the Right Hon. George Osborne Morgan. M.P., General Robert Owen Jones, C.B., Mr Bryn Roberts, LP., Mr Thomas Ellis, MP., Dr John Williams (physician to the Princess Beatrice), Mr Henry Owen, F.S.A., Dr Isambard Owen, M.A., Dr Robert Jones (Medical superintendent of the Earlswood Asylum), the Revs. Lloyd Phillips, M.A., Robert Gwynne, M.A., Maurice Jones, B.A., W. Crowle Ellis (Paddington Welsh Church), and D. J. Llewellyn, Beaufort; Mr Vaughan Lloyd (High Sheriff of Merioneth), Major Jones (Cardiff), Dr Owen Pritchard, Dr Isaac Williams, and Messrs Marchant Williams John Thomas (Pencerdd Gwalia), J. Eldon Bankes (North Wales Circuit), W. j Tudor Howell, Ernest Bowen Rowlands, Alexander J. David, W. W. Woosnam, J. Prichard, Jones Lewis, H. Roberts, Owen Lewis (Owain Dyfed), Ed. A. Hughes, Howel Kyffin Roberts, Robert A. Hudson, Harold Wright, Douglas Lewis, W. Adpar Jones, John Francis, Edward Owen, T. Sydenham, Howel Thomas, W. Cave, J. Milo Griffith, William Davies, T. E. Morris, D. W. Marpole, Arthur Hughes, W. H. Taylor, and the honorary secretaries, Messrs J. Burrell and E. Vincent Evans. Sir John Pules- ton, M.P., Sir Owen Roberts, Sir William Roberts, Sir Edward Reed, M.P., Mr Kenyon, M.P., and other representatives of Wales were unable to attend. The Lord Mayor, having proposed the loyal toasts, that of "The Immortal Memory of St. David" was proposed by Mr Tudor Howell, who held up St. David to our respect and veneration as the great symbol of Welsh Unity. —The national toast, The Land of Our Fathers" (Gwlad Ein Tadau), was proposed by the Lord Mayor in a speech that was at once pleasant and patriotic. Referring to his official position, he observed that he felt the honour conferred upon him all the more because he was a Welshman. He was intensely proud of his native land, and during the short term of his mayoralty it would be his special aim to keep the claims of his country ever before him. In the course of the year he hoped to greet at the Mansion House representatives of all classes of Welshmen without reference to creed or politics. He was pleased to think, on the other hand, that his countrymen took pride and pleasure in his mayoralty. The Principality had favoured him with many invitations, and early in the month of July he was due at Cardiff to receive the honour of the freedom of that important town. He hoped that the national gabherings around St. David s Day would continue to flourish. They were calculated to do an immense amount of good in strengthening the national solidarity. In London and the home counties there were 63,000 persons who were born in Wales, a fact which in itself was a sufficient reason for the continuance of gatherings such as those which brought together Welshmen and Welshwomen in the bonds of union, arising for mutual sympathy and love for their native land. Mr OSBORNE MORGAN, M.P., responded to the toast in a genial speech, wherein (whilst acknow- ledging that without difference of opinion they would be particularly dull) he pointed out that it was well to have occasions on which they were not Churchmen or Nonconformists, Radicals or Conservatives, but simply Welshmen—all anxious one with the other to advance the pro- fress of their native land. He complimented the* 'resident on his high position, and hoped that" his year of mayoralty would be extended to two. Mr THOMAS ELLIS, M.P., proposed the next toast-that of Llenyddiaeth ac addysyg Gym- raeg (Welsh education and literature)-m an admirable speech, partly in Welsh and partly in English. He disclaimed the right to speak for Welsh literature except as one who, by his Welshmanhood, felt that sense of pride and possession in it which the shepherd felt in the hills where he watched his flock, or the listener in the rendering of some great musical masterpiece. He was stirred by it, it gave him happiness, it helped him more than anything to realise the brotherhood of the Cymric race, for the language and literature were the title-deeds of their nationality. The coal mines of the Rhondda might multiply their wealth and their people. Cardiff and Swansea and Newport might represent the organisation and vastness of the commercial development of South Wales, Liverpool might drown one valley and Birmingham monopolise another watershed, politics and County Councils might absorb their public energy, and education brmg out thelåtent pœibilitdes- øf, e]sh people, but their enduring treasures were Llywarch Hen and the Mabinogion and Dafydd ap Gwilym Morgan Llwyd, of Wypedd Williams, Panty- celyn, and Ceiriog. Their language and litera- ture were also the wellspring whence refresh- ing waters flowed. The national revival which characterised their life to-day was happily nowhere more potent than in literature. In proof of that he proceeded to point out the great work that is being done by Mr Gwenogvryn Evans and Professor Rhys in the Welsh text series, and Mr Henry Owen and others in the Cymmrodorion record series, and by writers racy of the soil, such as Mr Owen Edwards with his Ci/mru, Mr Daniel Owen with his" Rhys Lewis" and "Enoch Huws," Mr Elvet Lewis with his Llewellyn," and many more, which, if not exactly racy of the soil, was racy in many other ways-all that literary work, and the important service now being rendered for the perfection of their educa- tional system, made them as Welshmen prouder and worthier of their native country. The toast was acknowledged by Mr HENRY OWEN, F.S.A., in a smart speech, and by Mr WILLIAMS in Welsh.; Mr J. ELDON BANKES scored in a humorous speech in proposing the toast of The Houses of Parliamen-t,"Ito which Mr BRYN ROBERTS. M.P., responded with much point in the vernacular. Dr JOHN WILLIAMS, in excellent Welsh, pro- posed The Health of the Lord Mayor," and his\ Lordship responded with a short speech in the true Welsh dialect of Sir Forganwg. Dr ROBERTS JONES proposed the toast of Merched Cymru," and Dr ISAMBARD OWEN that of the hon. secretaries (Messrs John Burrell and Vincent Evans), to which Mr Burrell responded. During the evening some charming Welsh songs were rendered, including "Gwlad y Delyn, bv Miss Susannah Pierce; the Dolgelly Gydor Wawr," by Miss Mary Thomas, Ynyshir "Rhyfelgan Cadben Morgan." by Mr WE vans, Morriston Cymru Eydd," by Mr John Walters, Swansea; and a harp solo by Miss Gwenllian Williams. Mr Walter Hughes, Llanelly, acted as director and accompanist.

TRUTH says A speech aeljvered by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford at a temper ance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice The Bishop suggested that whilst strong beers should be taxed, the sale of light beers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that I have always preached. It is indeed a pity that more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sun light Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favour- ably with the ordinary high coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire barley, and-most delicately flavoured with hops, called "Wor atera,' but really grown in the rich fertile valleysiof Herefordshire. Messrs Watkins and Son, of the Hereford Brewery, are the only brewers of this lamous ale, and it is sold by over 200 agents in the Worth, South, IJast, and West of the British Isles.

THE CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS. MEETING OF THE LLANELLY EXECUTIVE. A meeting of the Executive jf the Lkm^.V Liberal Association was held at the Liberal Club on Saturday to discuss the representation of the borough and the forthcoming County Councils. The proceedings were private, but we understand that negotiations are being still continued be- tween the deputation which recently visited London and Messrs Scbnadhorst and Morley, M.P. and it is fully expected that decisive action will be taken locally in the course of a few days.

CARDIFF REFORM CLUB. The adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the members of this club was held on Saturday night, under the presidency of Alderman David Jones, when the subject of the financial position of the club was again considered. After a long discussion, a resolution was earned, by the cast- ing vote of the chairman, to voluntarily wind up the company, an amendment that a further adjournment take place being lost. The resolu- tion will require to be ratified at a subsequent meeting, which will be probably held a week after the annual general meeting on Saturday next. The statement of accounts issued to the shareholders shows that there was a balance loss of JB519 12s 8d for the year commencing April 1, 1890, and closing October 31, 1891.

BLACKMAILING AND IMMORALITY. On Friday, at the Westminster police-court, Louis Vernnois, alias Farnais, Courbet, Letur, and Allard, a very powerful, well-dressed Belgian, described as a professional "'strong man," and giving addresses at Manchester and London, was placed in the dock charged on remand, before Mr Hannay, with procuring his young wife, Mary Allard, for immoral pur- poses.—Mr C. F. Gill, barrister, who prosecuted for the National Vigilance Association, said the prosecution which was one of an important cha- racter was 'under the 2nd sub-section of the 2nd section of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. Prisoner was one of a class, of men who could not easilv be brought to justice, on account of the ex- treme difficulty of getting proof, but m this case the evidence was overwbeliriingly strong, and it was hopedthatsuchasentence would be passed on the prisoner as would deter others from such a despi- pnsoiiei^ Prisoner called himself a S"?' ->4.» r th°,M ,hat at rare and long intervals he gave some aLf r,f wrestling performances at different London Ed b„. Ms ordinary ™de of life, it would be proved, was living on the immorality of women whose acquaintance from time to time he made. Prosecutrix was a tall girl of pleasing appearance, and the fellow evidently selected her as a suitable instrument for his vile purposes, and also used her as a decoy for black- mailing gentlemen. She would depliSe as to his instructions to her to get married men, particularly elderly men, to write compromising letters to her, so that the writers could be blackmailed and communications found upon him at the time of his arrest showed that he was engaged in an extortion conspiracy of the most impudent a,nd barefaced character. Evidence was then given by the young woman and others bearing out Mr Gill's statement, the former also deposing to brutal ill-treatment she had received at the hands of the prisoner. Prisoner, on the evidence being translated-he said that he spoke English imperfectly—declared that he could not call witnesses as he had been kept in custody. Sir Hannay told him that if he had any wit- nesses he could call them at the trial. He would be committed to the Old Bailey. On the letters put in evidence he was prepared in addition to the charge first made to ccmmit on the charge of conspiracy to extort money.—Mr Gill asked that the prisoner might be committed for trial.—Mr Hannay Very well; the committal will be for procuration and for assault and conspiracy. Mr Rymer, solicitor, said that he had been instructed for the defence by prisoner's friends, aud he should defer calling witnesses at that court. The defence would be that the prosecutrix was not a chaste woman when defendant met her.—Mr Hannay Certainly the wording of the Act is causing a woman to become" a prosti- tute, but you can urge that elsewhere. I commit the prisoner for trial, and, having discretion, I absolutely refuse bail.

THE BETHNAL GREEN TRAGEDY. A REPRIEVE REFUSED. The Home Secretary, after careful consideration of the circumstances of the crime in the case of James Muir, who is now lying at Newgate under sentence of death for murdering his paramour at Bethnal Green, has declined to interfere with the sentence, and the execution takes place next Tues- day.

THE FRENCH MINISTERIAL CRISIS. THE NEW CABINET. [REUTKU'A TKLEGKAM. j PARIS, Saturday. In spite of the difficulties raised by the exclu- sion of M. Constans, M. Loubet has now finally succeeded in completing his Cabinet, and the new ministers will wait upon President Carnot at the Elysee this evening, The new Cabinet is constituted as follows;- M. Loubet .Premier and Minister of the Interior. M. Ricard Minister of Justice and Public Worship. M. Ribot Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Rouvier .Minister of Finance. M. De Freycinet. Minister of War. M. Cavaignac Minister-of Marine. M. Bourgeois Minister of Public Instruction. M. Viette Minister of Public Works. M. Develle Minister of Agriculture. M.

THE CANNES MURDER. [REUTKR'S TELEGRAM.] GRASSE, Saturday. Mrs Deacon arrived here by train at ten o'clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to the office of the examining magistrate, where the "confrontation" with her husband took place. Shortly ofter twelve Mrs Deacon, who was ac- companied by a maid, went to the Hotel Mur- dour, where she took luncheon in a private room in order to avoid, as much as possible, the curiosity of the public. At half-past twelve the confrontation was continued, and lasted till a quarter-past four. This joint examination of husband and wife has not led to the revelation of anything new, or of importance, and was mainly confined topoints of detail regarding the relations between Mrs Deacon and M. Abeille. Mrs Deacon, who appeared very much depressed, afterwards returned to Cannes in a private carriage. She has placed herself entirely at the disposal of the judicial authorities, and will be again examined next week. Mr Deacon still maintains the calmness he has shown ever since M. Abeille's death. He passes his time in prison n writing to his friends, and has every expecta- tion of a favourable termination of his trial.

THE MURDER OF DR VULKO- VITCH. ARREST OF A SUSPECT. [REUTEB'S TELEGRAMS.] CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday. A man was arrested here to-day on suspicion of being the murderer of Dr Vulkovitch. SOFIA, Saturday. When the news that Dr Vulkovitch was dying arrived here at nine o'clock last evening, orders were at once given to countermand the Court ball which was to take place at the palace. There was no time to warn the guests of the postpone- ment, and they were consequently only made aware that tbe entertainment would not take place on arriving at the palace gates. Prince Ferdinand and the Ministers are much concerned at the untimely death of Dr Vulkovitch, whose diplomatic services at the Court of the Suzerain have been highly valued by the Prince and his Government. The indignation at the assassina- tion prevailing throught the country exceeds even that occasioned by the murder of M Beltcheff. At a Cabinet Council held this morning, the Ministers decided that the funeral of Dr Vulko- vitch should be at the expense of the State. The remains of the deceased diplomatist will be de- posited in the family vault qat Philippopolis in accordance with his expressed wish.

THE ILLNESS OF MRS DR EDWARDS, CARDIFF. Upon inquiry on Sunday evening, our re- presentative was informed that though Mrs Dr Edwards' condition during the day was much less favourable, in the evening a marked improve- ment was observable.

REMARKABLE DIVORCE SUIT In the Divorce Division of the High Court of Justice, on Saturday, SirC.|Buttanda special jury ULN before them the case in which Dr. John Wilson Erskine, of Chelsea, sued for a divorce from his wife Frederica on the ground of ner alleged adultery with a co-respondeut named Mr John Edward Gentle, described as a job- master of • Chelsea. The adultery was denied, and the wife pleaded condonation and connivance. Damages were claimed against the co-respondent under circumstances reported yesterday. ? co-respondent was again Called, and said that before he received a letter just prior to the petition he had had no intimation of the sugges- tion of misconduct on his part with Mrs Erskine. He then had an interview with Mr Erskine, and an altercation took place and proceedings were taken against him by the petitioner for assault. Replying to respondent^ counsel (Mr Terrell), the co-respondent said that he was sent for by Mias Smith to a hoUseiti Maude-grove, and on getting there he found Mra Erskine was there. She called him into the rbbm and he saw her in ^ou were very much shocked at this 1—Yes. At Christmas, 1890, did you not spend the evening with the petitioner and his wife in a friendly way ?—Yes. After you had seen the wife in a brothel ?—Yes. Did you tell Mr Erskine what you had seen ?— I did not. Were you friendly with Mrs Erskine that even- ing ?—Not particularly. By Mr Inderwick, Q.C. (for petitioner): Wit- ness had thought that Mrs Lrskme was leading a loose life. Witness explained that h4fe<^Qid not tell Mr Erskine what he had seen because he was nego- tiating with him about a brougham. At the time no accusation was made against him. You knew or suspected she was deceiving her husband about money in October ?—Yes. You are married ?—Yes. Did Mrs Gentle object to Mrs Erskine's visit to the yard and the house ?—Never heard of it. She kept on worrying, I believe ?—She was continually at my yard. Mrs Gentle never com- plained to me of Mrs Erskine's visits. But didn't Mrs Erskine come to your yard on one occasion and get a beating from your wife ? —No. But Mrs Gentle was summoned at the police- court ?—She was, and she was fined 5s, but no assault took place. Mrs Erskine had written a letter to me which my wife saw. Replying to other questions witness said that when he went to Maude-grove and saw Mrs Erskine in bed, be only stayed a few minutes,and the door was open 11011 the tIme. How was it you came to be riding about with her in a cabin November ?—Because she promised to take me to her husband to receive on account of their debt. Questioned further as to his visit to Mrs Erskine at her apartments in Maude-grove witness said that he had received a letter written by Mrs Erskine stating that Miss Smith desired to see him in reference to hiring a brougham. The letter commenced with the word "Sir." Mrs Erskine had sometimes addressed him as Dear Mr Gentle." The letter was dated from Oakley- strG6t. Asked why he came to goto Maude.grove under those circumstances witness said he had received telegrams. One of these ran, "Come at Qnce; good business. —Smith. He had also received a >ra9k'ng' hitn see Mrs Smith at Maude-grove, and stating that she was a physician's wife from America, rie believed Maude-grove to be a place where oose women lived. Mrs Erskine didnot there invite c°mmit adultery. He put his head inside the door and saw her in bed, then went away. After the divorce proceedings had been msti- Erskine^ received the following letter from Mrs My Dear Mr Gentle,—I am very SOrrv indeed to inform you that I have had to leave, the doctor^ house owiog to his instituting divorce praceedinirs I need scarcely tell you who i, the XX X X I only write to warn you. If you watif my assistance in any way, I shall be pleased to give it to you. I am very sorry for your wife and children and also for yourself.

Witness denied that he went to Mrs Erskine's lodgings after receiving the letter. Isaac Foggdale, called on behalf of the co- respondent, said that he had been in the service as groom. He became acquainted with Mrs Erskine-in August, 1890. She used to ride on horses hired from Mr Gentle, and he rode a horse with her as groom. He also drove her about in a brougham or victoria. Returning home late one night with Mrs Erskine, there was a disturbance and he was discharged, but he was taken on again the next day. Counsel Did you become intimate with Mrs Erskine ? Witness Yes first of all in the beginning of September, 1890. Where did that take place ?—While we were out driving on Wimbledon Common. The next occasion was in Coomble Wood. Witness added that he had frequently repeated the mis- conduct at various houses where respondent had lodged. He was once sent for with a cab and went to see Mrs Erskine at :Maud-grove. He was thiee hours with her. She was in bed but adultery was not committed then, He had also driven her at night to the Empire, to the Alham- bra, the Corinthian Club, and to supper-rooms. Used she sometimes to have gentlemen with her ?—On one occasion. The gentleman accom- panied her to Edith-grove. Witness had received a letter from her, in which she addressed him as My dear est boy." Cross-examined, witness said he did not tell the co-respondent of this until after the citation was served. Evidence as to the business relations of the parties were given. Mrs Rebecca Gentle, wife of the co-respondent, said it was not true that her husband was absent four hours from home on a day when he was alleged to have been visiting Mrs Erskine. The firsttf ime witness heard of the charge against her husband was when a letter came from Mrs Erskine. A few days afterwards Mrs Erskine came. and in consequence of what then took place witness was fined 5s. She had never seen any impropriety. » It was stated in course of the evidence which followed as to a question of identification that Mrs Erskine was now residing at the House of Mercy at Clewer, near Windsor. The evidence being concluded counsel addressed the jury. The case had not concluded when the Oourfc ad. journed, j

A SCHOOL IN A PUBLIC- HOUSE AT COITY. CHILDREN EXAMINED BY THE MAGISTRATES. At the Bridgend police-court, on Saturday- before Mr C. P. Davis and Mr W. S. Powell- the Coity Higher School Board asked for an order to be made upon William Watkins, Edward Jones, John Jenkins, Thomas Roberts, Evan Rees, Thomas Richards, and Morgan Rees, calling on them to send their children regularly to a proper elementary school.—Mr David Lewis, 'barrister, appeared for the school authority, and Mr T. J. Hughes defended,—Mr Lewis narrated the peculiar circumstances of the ease, and said that up to September last the educational care of Coity was under a School Board, the master being Mr E. E. Peters, who then resigned and started a private school in the club room of ths Royal Oak public-house, and to which the defendants and other villagers sent their children. His con- tention in asking for an order upon the defendants was that the children were not receiving proper elementary instruction as con- templated by the Education Act, a section of which stated that a child should attend a certified efficient school. The only one in the hamlet was that under the authority of the School Board. Mr Peters had applied for a certificate for his school, but the Education Department,had refused to grant it for the very sufficient reason that the instruction was carried on in a room which was part of the premises of a public-house.—Mr Hughes contended that the bench had only to consider one point advanced by the learned counsel, and that was whether the children were receiving proper educational training agreeably with the Act, which he was prepared to m' prove. With the other matter, the premises 10 which the children were taught, the magistrates had nothing to do.—Evidence was tendered, and the children of the summoned parents were examined, and appeared to answer satisfactorily. -Mr Peters was put into the box and produced his parchments, and was strongly cross-examined as to the room where he kept school, its means of access, and the educational appliances.—The Bench held that the children were not receiving proper education, moral or intellectual, and made an order as asked for.—Mr Hughes asked for a case, which was granted, and he said in the meantime the children would be sent to the Board Schools at Pencoed-a distance of three miles.

ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE NAVY. LAUNCH OF THE REPULSE AT PEMBROKE DOCK. On Saturday afternoon m the presence of a large company of influential personages connected with the dockyard and thousands of interested specta- tors from all parts of the surrounding district, her Majesty's ship Repulse was successfully launched from the Admiralty Yard at Pembroke Dock. The new vessel, which is the heaviest at the time of the completion of her hull that has ever left the ways at the great depot on Milford Haven, is a sister ship to the Empress of India, which, it will be remembered, was launched from the same place last summer, and at the christening of which there were present their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Edinburgh and theDukeandDuchess ot Connaught. These two ironclads, the Empress of India and the Repulse, are the largest and most powerfully armed and protected that have been turned out at Pembroke, and they form important additions to the imperial fleet which is being so materially strengthened under the National Defences Act passed some few years back. The Repulse is the latest addition resulting from the passage of that measure. Though bright and sunny on Saturday and unusually favourable considering the season of the year, tho weather was not the most pleasant in which thousands of spectators in holiday attire could ba called to stand for hours on the positions that commanded a view of the slipway from which the man-of-war was to enter her native element. A keen and piercing easterly wind blew with chilling freshness across the open haven, but the hundreds who crowded every spot near the yard manifested neither weariness nor impatience. The hour fixed for the launch was a quarter past five, or a short time before high water. Around the bows of the vessel elevated platforms had been erected, and on these the principal visitors took their stand. The varied costumes of the ladies who .were present, and the handsome uniforms of the naval and military officers, who mustered in con- siderable force, made up a scene that was exceed- ingly brilliant and picturesque. The temporary galleries behind the stage, reserved for notabili- ties, were thronged with visitors; and as there was a plentiful display of bunting of tho most aggressively national kind, and a fair sprinkling of ordinary regimental uniforms in the masses of people lining the slipway, an occasion more thoroughly redolent of English patriotism and loyalty it would have been unreasonable to lock for. A Kingston c'r a Captain Marryatoould have demanded nothing more. For some time before. the appointed time for launching the full band of the Connaught Rangers—which distinguished regiment is now lying at Pembroke Dock— played selections of operatic and other music, while the gangs of shipwrights down in the depths round the ironclad's bilges, and keel were knocking away the chocks. The beauties of Maritana and the Bo/wmian Girl may have been somewhat marred by the incessant dull thuds of the hammers against the oak timbers, but even this could not hide the fine style in which every member of the band played his part, and Mr Keely, the bandmaster, is to be congratulated upon having under his direction so well-trained and brilliant a body of instrumentalists. The usual brief religious service was conducted at the commencement of the proceedings, the chaplain to the garrison (the Rev J. Booth Budds) reading the 127th Psalm and offering the special collect and other prayers for such occasions. The remaining blocks were then knocked away one by one, this part of the work occupyiug a longer time than was generally expected. Lady Philipps, of Pictuu Castb, by whom the christening ceremony was performed, was surrounded on the platform by Sir Charles Philipps, Capt. Walter Stewart, C.B., A.D.C R.N., captain superintendent of the dockyard, who wore the uniform of a naval aide-de-camp Sir George Larpent, Mr J. 0. Froyne, chief con- structor of the dockyard, and by whom the general arrangements were superintended; Mr W. H. White, deputy-comptroller of the Navy Mr J. Williamson, director of dockyards Sir O. Scourfield, and a number of naval and military officers and their lady friends. It was 25 minutes p..¡,st five when the signal was given that all was clear. Lady Philipps touched the electric button that severed the cord attached to the dogshore, and sent the customary bottle of wine dashing against the leviathan's bows. But there was no meve on the enormous mass of steel that towered up into the roof of the slip-shed. The hydraulic pump was brought into use, but still the huge hull remained stationary. Then the workmen down round the keel set to again to knock away the one or two chocks that held, and the hydraulic pump having once more being requisitioned, punctually to half-past five the towerwg mass of chocolate "coloured steel slid, slowly at first, but with an increasing veloci y, down the ways, the smoking grease from which gave a slight idea of the enormous weight that was passing over them. Way once being got on the vessel, she moved off, as smoothly as possible into the water, with a tremendous splash under her projecting stern. The multitude cheered and waved hats and handkerchiefs with the utmost enthusiasm as the splendid ship moved, with as much grace as an iron-clad can be expected to do anything, along the gentle incline. The hun- dreds on board answered the cheers from the shore, and heads and haU and wins protruded from every porthole, while an eager throng fringed the bulwarks all round. The band of the Connaught Rangers played Rule Britannia" and then God have the Queen," and by the time the programme was concluded the Repulse was a quarter of a mile out in the haven, a long, straight, foaming wake showing the impetus that had been given her. She had covered a good half-mile, ploughing up the rippling waters of the finest haven in the country before she was brought up, being taken in tow by two powerful Government tugs, and removed to the moorings of the old Revenge. Apart from the few minutes' delay that occurred between the sevoring of the cord that released the dogshore and the getting of way upon the ship the launch was most successful, and to those not resident in the vicinity of a great naval station such a sight cannot be pronounced other than magnificent. DESCRIPTION OF THE SHIP. The Repulse, which is one of a class of eight ships building in H.M. Dockyards and private yards, was laid down in Pembroke Dockyard on the 1st January, 1890. She is a sister ship to the Empress of India launched last May by the Duchess of Connaught from this dockyard. As might have been expected, the design, being an embodiment of all the most important improve- ments upon modern war ships, has drawn forth a large amount of criticism, probably far more than in the case of any other ship afloat. The Repulse has been built from the designs of Mr W. H. White, C.B., director of naval construction, under the immediate direction of Mr J. C. Froyne, chief constructor at Pembroke; Mr James Owen, assistant constructor, being in charge of the building operations. The principal dimensions of the vessel are:—Length between perpendiculars, 380ft.; extreme breadth, 75ft. mean load draught, 27ft. 6in. with a load dis- placement of 14,150 tons. The indicated horse- power is specified at 9,000, with natural draught, and 13,000 with forced draught, producing speeds of 16 and 17 knot; per hour respectively. The engines are provided by Messrs Humphrey, Tennant and Co., of Deptford Pier, who have had also the contract for the engines of other vessels of the same class. They are of the triple expansion vertical type. The new vessel is built entirely of mild steel. The stem, stern-post, and shaft brackets are formed of steel castings, the stem, below water, forming a very formidable ram, the utility of which in action has already been demonstrated. The flat keel is composedV'f two thicknesses of plate, each three-quarter inch, while the vertical keel has a thickness of five-eighths of an inch, with a maximunrheight offt. amidships,jtapering to 3ft. 6in. at the extremes. Between the vertical keel and the shelf, upon which rests the thick belt of armour, are worked on either side five longitu- dinals, extending throughout the whole length of the double bottom. The centre one of these is made water-tight, and this, together with the water-tight frames, divides the whole of the double bottom into a series of water-tight com- partments. In fact, the whole of the hull is so largely sub-divided in this manner that the risk of danger to the bottom plating in action, or from rocks, is minimised to the fullest extent. The frames have also been specially designed on the bracket system, with reference to the great weight to be carried, and additional stiffness is acquired by double longitudinal bulk- heads. A protective steel deck 2% inches thick, extends under water from the bow for about 76 feet, and from the stern for a distance of about 72 feet. From this deck, and resting upon a shelf specially prepaied to receive it, is built a belt of steel-faced armour, with a backing of teak. The lower edge of the armour extends 5ft. 6in. below the load-line, whilst the upper edge extends 3ft. above it. This belt, the greatest thickness of whic is 18 inches, extends for a length of 250 feet, out of a total length of 380 feet, and terminates in two armoured bulkheads. Over this part, thus protected, a 3-inch steel deck is worked, so that with the protective deck before mentioned the horizontal deck protection extends from stem to stern. At the fore and after ends of the belt, and rising directly from the 3-inch protective deck, are the barbettes formed of armour, 19 inches thick. These extend to the height of 1ft. 6in. above the upper deck, and contain all the mechanism for working the large guns, inclusive of the means adopted for loading them. Directly above, and resting upon the thick belt of armour, is another belt of light armour, 4 inches thick at the sides and 3 inches thick on the screens, or transverse bulkheads. Behind this, eight side-armour coal bunkers are arranged, whereby a large amount of additional protection is secured. Above this, thin armour casemates of 6 inch armour, two on each side, are built, in which the 6-inch quick firing guns, fought on the mam deck, are placed. In addition to this protection, and in order to secure a safe passage for the ammunition from the magazines to the guns of the auxiliary armament, armoured tubes have been fitted between the belt and main decks. Precautionary measures have also been adapted to prevent water finding its way below the protective decks, by providing water-tight covers to all the openings in this deck whilst in the case of those which must of necessity remain open, coffer-dams have been fitted with the same object. Her crew will number 640 officers and men. The ship will be lighted throughout with the electric light by means of over 600 lamp3, and she will also carry four electric search-lights -of 25,000 candle power, all of which will be worked by dynamos under protection. The Repulse is designed to carry 900 tons of coal, which at an uniform speed of 10 knots an hour is estimated to steam her 5,000 knots. Her arma- ment will comprise four 13% inch 67.ton truns, mounted in barbettes, in pairs, and throw- ing a projectile weighing 1,250 Ibs with a powder charge of 630 lbs; ten 6-inch 100 pounder quick-firuis cans, double nked, the foar on the main datk being mouOtad in casemates protected by 6-incu armour, while the six on the upper deck are mounted on spo)t ■ sons; 16 6-pounder and 9 3-pcunder quick nrers 8 small machine guns, and 2 9-pounder field fans. Ths auxiliary armament is distributed all over the ship, and extends from bow to stern, the top sides and bridges having a large number of guns disposed upon them. The mam armament is worked by hydraulic machinery, supplied bv Sir W. Armstrong and Company. The other guns are all worked by hand, even the 100-pounder being capable of being worked by ono: man, thus liberating a large number of men for supplying ammunition, which is a great advantage in view of th3 speedy supply required for rapid tiring. The shis is fitted with seven torpedo tubes, ol which two are submerged, and provision is made for carrying 18 torpedoes. The ship m aefcen will be fought frcm either of two conning tower*, of which the forward one is armoured to the ex- tent of 14 inches, and the after one to three inches.

THE ROATH PARK QUESTION. A meeting of the committee for maintain- ing the right of public meeting in parks and open spaces was held at the Metropole Hotel on Saturday evening. The following members were presentMessrs J. Collins, Tom Da vies, R. Da vies, J. Fitzpatrick, John Gardner, Beynon Harris, R. J. Harbourne, J. Hill, George Mil- som, A. Parr, M. Pearse, J. Richards, J. Rogers, Fred L Short, G. Stevens, Tom Taylor, E. R. Thomas, Isaac Thomas, T. H. Thomas, and Allen Upward. Mr Upward was voted tp the chair. After a careful consideration of the pre- sent position of affairs, the following resolutions were carried with the entire concordance of aU present(1) That we consider that the ParJa Committee in deferring their meeting until TueI day, March 1st, have treated this committee with scant courtesy and we therefore decide to proceed with ths arrangements for holding » demonstration." (2) That the secretary be instructed to write to the Press inviting all Xi £ l, trade, and friendly ^eties in the town to send delegates to a meeting to be held atjke Metropole Hotel, on Friday, March 4th, at 8 p.m., to make final arrangements in regard to the demonstration. » • u At a meeting of the Wolfe ToneBranch, Irish National League, held in St. Davids Boys' School, Cardiff, the following resolutions were unanimously passed Resolved that we, the members of the Wolfe Tone Branch, Irish N ational League, hereby beg to express our approval ot the action of a section of the citizens of Cardiff iU their endeavours to preserve to its inhabitants the right of public meeting and freedom of speech, threatened by the adoption of Rule 14 of the Parks bye-laws, by the Cardiff County Council i also that we promise them our coi^ial sup^rtji thatrwe hSiy^PPeal to our fellow countrymen £ ed 2355S7 f1 approaching municipal contest in the Central Ward."

TO THE EDITOR. SIB,—It appears to me, from what h^ Uken place with reference to the i i No. 14 of the Parks Regulations that the peoples representatives in the Council are fulfilling the duties of their offices as wuncillow, as the regulations were evidently passed en Mae, without due consideration being git and every bye-law contained therein Bve-Iaw 14, as it now stands, is ajnost dia astrons one to the public of Cardiff, because it prevents any meeting taking place in any part of the park, and it will be equally objectionable to put the power of permitting such meetmg^into the hands of the Mayor or any other officer. Tho fact of bye-law No. 14 being allowed to the regulations, has evidently been an oversight on the part of our councillors, as I cannot believe that any of them of either party wcmld fallow su«h a gross injustice to be done to their electors as the one that would be done if this bye-law is not unconditionally struck out of th« regulationS.-I am^&C £ vER QF jUSTICR Cardiff, February 26tb.

RAILWAFACCIDENT NEAR PONTYPOOL. A RUNAWAY TRAIN. A serious railway collision, aii far as the damage to rolling stock and':permanent way was concerned, though practically^Unattended with loss of life or personal injury, oCfeurred ciose to the Pontypool-road Station this morning, a coal train from Aberdare, comprising 33 loaded waggons, coming into collision with an empty train standing on the mam. line. The driver, fireman, and guard, Richard Jone*. Charles Gulley, and James Morgan, saval themselves by jumping off just before the colli- sion occurred. The runaway (a tank) engine was completely wrecked, trucks overturned, and the permanent way torn up. Traffic on both lines was delayed for, a longtime, apd Witt not resumed under urdthary ■ conditions Unti 1 ffoChi. It is sup- posed that the collision occurred through defec- tive or insufficient brake power applied to the wa^he broken wore re.piaced and the peri manent way restored by noon on S^turday by gangs of men, under the direction of Mr M. Mor- gan (locomotive superintendent and Mr .1. Jen- wayi»«Pe=t<>r]. debris were projected against a signal box, part of the brickwork of which was defaeed. In an interview, the driver of the Abeidare train stated that he sounded the brake whisths several times on coming down the bank, which has steep gradient, and did all in his power by revers- ing the engine, using sand, ^c., to avert the acts dent, but unavailingly, thespeed increasing until the moment of the collisiSn. Jones had only just jumped clear of the engine when the collision occurred.
