VACCINATION ACT. A WELSH CLERICAL JUSTICE. DEAF TO CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTIONS. A conscientious objector "-and an influen- tial one, too—has had an unfortunate experience at the Colwyn Bay Police Court in Wales. it seems that Mr J. R. Morris, managing director ol a local company, applied for a certificate of ex- emption. Now, the chairman is the Rev. W. Venables Williams.—The Chairman: On what ground 9-Applicant: On the ground of a con- scientious objection.—The Chairman Is it a reasonable one ?—Applicant I think so. Ihe Chairman Give us the reason.—Applicant I believe it is injurious to health.—The Chairman Do you know that every man who enters the army or navy has to be vaccinated .'—Applicant Yes, I do, but I have a conscientious objection. I think vaccination inefficacious and injurious to health.—The Chairman Do try a little more ea.ding. The application is refused. Alfred Maddock, traveller, applied for two certificates for his baby girls.—The Chairman On what ground ?—Applicant The filthy prac- tice nearly killed one of my children recently, and I therefore consider it unhealthy and unneces- sary.—The Chairman That's your opinion.—Ap- plicant And I'm entitled to it.—The Chairman You know that every man who enters the army or navy has to te vaccinated ?—Applicant Yes, but these are two girls, and I'm not aware that they are likely to see service in either.—The Chairman That is no answer to my question.— Applicant, in reply to another question, main- tained that many medical men were of his opinion, and instanced the recent commission, where the medical evidence was almost equally divided, Sir Walter Foster being on his side.— The Bench consalted, after which the Chairman said We refuse.—The Applicant Can you give toe any reason why, sir ?—The Clerk Yon must Hot cross-examine the Bench. OBJECTIONS WHOLESALE. Tbe Keighley justices on Tuesday granted 800 exemptions from vaccination. The to.al exemptions granted at Keighley number 1,530, effecting 37,000 children. ANTI-VACCINATION LEAGUE DIS- SATISFIED. The National Anti-Yaccinaton League has issued a manifesto, in which it is stated they decline to receive the Dew Act on vaccination as a aett,lexaetof the great question of the right of the Legislators to enact or enforce a medical nostrum or experient involving personal injury and interference with parental care. The new Act offers a grudging form of exemption which is surrounded by obstacles, and the ignorant be- haviour of many justices shows the concession to be of little avail. They must continue their struggle for the opening up of the great State services, for the birthright of every man to enter them unimpeded by medical obstacles, and to those whose dailv lot it is to labour and to whom prosecution threatens ruin the League sug- gests they should do as needs compel them. it they think it best to apply to justices for the cer- tificate offered by law they have only to say they believe vaccination will be prejudicial to the health of their children, and no certificate ot birth is required by the Act. At all elections candidates should be made to feel the question is vital a.nd tha.t their liberty must be restored. A

PONTYPRIDD DISTRICT COUNCIL. At Tuesday's meeting of this Council, 1V[;: P. Gowan presiding, it was decided, in the unavoId- able absence of Dr. Haralen Williams, to defer the question of right of wa.y at Rhydfelen, and this was agreed to. The proposed closing o the passenger traffic on the Pontypridd, CaerphIlly, and Newport Railway after the 31st of December Was considered. Mr Henshaw. the general manager of the company, wrote stating that this decision had been arrived at by the directors after full consideration. The Pontypridd Chamher of Trade also wrote upon the matter, and asked the Council to do all in its power to retain the passenger traffic. The Chairman considered it was their duty in the interest of the town not to low the railway to be closed for passenger trarhc if they had power to prevent it, and suggested that the best course to pursue would be for the clerk to elicit what powers the Council had with reference to the matter, and also write to the Railway Commissioners. Upon the motion of Mr Jones Powell this was agreed to. Mv Joseph David, assistant overseer, wrote stating that no increase would be made in the poor rate for the next half-year. The secretary of the local branch of the Typographical Association wrote asking the Council to patronise only such printing offices in the town as paid the Trades Union rate of wages. The Chairman thought the list submitted included all the offices in the town, and moved a. resolnton that the Council carry out the wishes expressed. This was seconded and carried.

A QUAKER'S MISSION. NEW PHILOSOPHICAL CIRCLE FOR CARDIFF. A meeting of an interesting and important character (writes a correspondent) took place on Sunday afternoon at 68, Metal-street, Cardiff. Doctor Charles Fox, the well-known Cardiff Friend, has gathered a number of select spirits around him, to whom he proposes to impart some portion of a life's investigation into the realms of mysticism and philosophy. Quite a large number of young men, representing many creeds and temperaments, listened with rapt attention while the doctor spoke on The Fall of Man," from a higher condition of being, which he maintained was demonstrable apart from the Biole, which simnly stated the fact. Y/o alone, of all the animals, felt cramped and unhappy in material bodies. Primarily, as actually stated in Genesis, roan was bi-sexual. and had an etherial encase- ment, corresponding to that which Christ apneared in after His Resurrection. Dealing with the doctrins of the Trinity-which had been by the Churches crudely presented as Three Persons, the doctor showed how this Trinity was in man also, and in nature it was represented by fire, water, and air. A conversation followed, which proved very illuminating and instructive. It is intended to continue these meetings on succeed- jncr Sunday afternoons, and probably, for the convenience of those who are engaged on Sun- days, a meeting will be arranged on a week night also. _—- —

CLEVELAND IRON TRADE. MIDDLESBROUGH, Tuesday. — The market shows a very firm feeling, and rates improved. The warrant market has been strong, ordinary iron being favourably influenced by this a.nd also by the large consumptive requirement, and the promising outlook for the future trade is healthy, and every department gives evidence of a long run of steady business. Pig iron ship- ments, however, are smaller than for* many years in October because delivery has been retarded to foreign ports by the late drought, and for some days by stormy weather. Iron, contrary to ex- perience earlier in the month, has lately been Elaced in stores. Thers is not a large turnover ecause buyers' early requirements are mostly covered, and forward business is not engaged lU. No. 3 is 44s 6d Cleveland warrants, 448 lljd sellers grey forge, 39s 9d No. 4 foundry, 42s. Hematite has been advanced by most makers to 54s.

WELSH TIT-BITS. BY CADRAWD. CROMWELL STORMING CARDIFF CASTLE IN PERSON. It appears that in the reign of Charles I., Cardiff espoused the cause of that King. The con- sequence was that the town and castle were besieged by the Parliamentarians; and there is a tradition (for I cannot find that it is any more than a tradition) that the besieging army was led by Oliver Cromwell in person. I have heard tne story that the oarty was a strong one, ana that they bombarded the castle from an entrenchment I about a quarter of a mile west of the town. Topographical Notes" tells us tnat the cannonade was kept up for three dayt> sc- cessively, and that Cromwell, in a book whICh he wrote after this affair, which he called "The Flagellum." says that "he should have_found greater difficulty in subduing Cardiff Castle had it not been for a deserter from the garrison, who conducted his party through a subterranean pas- sage that went under the Taff river into the castle, by which mea,ns they got possession of it, with little or no loss on either side. But as soon as the garrison had inarched out, Cromwell ordered the deserter to be hung for his treachery. I would be very pleased to know whence Mr Llwyd got this information, and I have never seen in the few biographies that I ha,ve of Cromwell that he ever sat down to write a book, as his constant application to the business of wars, &c„ would not permit him to apply himself to literature. Again, this subterranean passage under the river Taff, if it was in such a condition a little over two hundred years ago as to admit of an army to pass through it, certainly some traces of it might be found now-Q, davs. Had there been any truth in this story, I am persuaded that Taliesin ab Iolo would have mentioned it in his historical notes to his poem on Cardiff Castle. IOLO PERFORMING THE BLACK ART IN KENT. Mr Waring says that Iolo Morganwg was too much of a philosopher to be superstitious but he was too little of a sceptic to deny the reality of all he could not perfectly comprehend; and, though by no means remarkable for patience with the credulous fanatic, he keenly reprehended the infidel bravo, and enjoyed quelling his self- importance. While following his employment in Kent he lodged at the house of a person who was much addicted to boasting bow completely free he was from aU superstitions, and who exulted specially in fhis disbelief of any ghostly existence capa^ble o making an impression on our senses. He ridiculed the fears of all ghost seers, or hearers of porten- tous warnings from another world, and argued with great vehemence against the possibility of any such visitations. 1010 at length commenced to meditate a trick upon his landlord, not because he was himself addicted to superstitious fears, but because he was weary of the man's boastings, and thought some of his notions extravagant. He therefore took this modern Sadducee aside one evening, and with affected solemnity told him that his opinions respecting departed spirits were liable to such a complete refutation as he little suspected, and that if he chose to put them to the test he might be convinced of the error beneath his own roof on any night he would appoint. The landlord laughed at the idea, and said he would bid defiance to any ghost, in his own house or elsewhere, but promised to make the experiment which his eccentric lodger had proposed. Iolo then told him that he had ac- quainted himself amongst his various studies with certain arcana known to very few persons, and those of a peculiar stamp, and bade him con- sider seriously whether he could really encounter with firmness what might be presented to him, and appoint the time whenever his mind was prepared. The night was soon fixed, and Iolo observed his old landlord to be more thoughtful than usual as the hour approached, notwithstand- ing all his efforts to appear indifferent. It was a condition between them that the whole business should be kept a profound secret, unless his host should be alarmed into an exposure of himself, a supposition which of course was not to be enter- tained. The hour arrived and the bard, in his character of necromancer, led the sceptic into an apartment where a dim light was burning, and a circle inscribed with strange mystic characters was traced upon the floor. He was directed to stand aloof whilst the bard entered the magic circle with a wand in his hand, observing various grave ceremonials calculated to affect the imagina- tion of the looker-on. He then asked his land- lord if he had decided whose spirit from amongst his progenitors should be evoked, desiring him not to mention anyone with his lips, because he wished to guard him against any suspicion of collusion, but merely to write the name on a slip of paper and hand it to him in the circle. The spirit decided upon was to be that of his grandfather, whose name was John, which he had reason to think the operator could not have known before. 1010 now commenced a solemn muttering of unknown words, walking slowly and intently round the circle, and striking his wand with various mysterious gesticulations upon the inscribed characters, the landlord all the while eyeing him with feelings which he had never before experienced and now strove in vain to subdue. At length the bard paused and fixing hIS eye upon him said, "I feel the inlfuences of an approaching spirit t Shall it appear to you, or will yon converse with it in its invisible exist- ence?'' The landlord turned pale, but said, with a manifest effort and indifference, Oh, let me hear him speak, first. I can see him afterwards if I like, I suppose." You may; but do not trifle, the spirit is at hand. First ask him his name." An inexplicable sound was now heard in the apartment, and the man's utterance had a suf- focating character, as he put the question. But when a deep, sepulchraJ voice, in an appalling tone and with a most deliberate accent, pro- nounced the name of bis grandfather, he uttered a cry of horror and burst out of the room in a perfect agony of conviction that the ancestral ghost was at his heels. This adventure became a frequent subject of conversation in the house and a standing joke against its master, who now spoke respectfully of ghosts when he mentioned them at all, and united with many others in regarding the bookish Welsh mason as rather an awful character, not- withstanding his good-humoured oddities and habitual vivacity. When Iolo had sufficiently enjoyed his landlord's perplexity, and the sur- mises respecting himself of being an adept m the "black art," he revealed the secret of hIS con- trivance. in which he had one faitiifnl oormaant and confederate who was a. fellow-iodger. There was an unoccupied cellar under the room which had been fixed upon as the scene of incantation, and the confederate was stationed in this cellar after receiving his instructions from Iolo, who had carefully pre-arranged the whole scheme. The name was communicated by the taps of the wand upon the floor, which corre- sponded with the numerical order of the alphabet. Thns-nine strokes designated the letter J, fifteen the letter 0, eight the letter H, and so on. The Welshman calculated justly on his landlord's fears, bnt the development of the mystery, how- served to increase the mortification of tne landlord, and the bard thought he never neartily forgave him for silencing him so effec-

A strong south-easterly wind however made hares, which were plentiful, difficult to drive, and sport therefore dragged somewhat, two shifts having to be made before the Puppy Stakes was got through, in which Apathy, Buckman's Brow, and Good Chance e-ach ran pretty courses.

NO OUTSIDERS WANTED. Old stager," writes our Llanelly correspondent, suggests that Newton, the ex-Oxonian Blue, now at Llandovery College, should be given a trial in the Llanelly Fifteen. As a matter of fact, he says, the ex-Oxford Blue was selected for last Saturday's match, but the Scarlets are so patriotic that several of them said they would refuse to turn out if foreign talent was imported into the team. That explains the reason why Newton has not been given a trial at Llanelly."

LATEST MARKETS. I JDlVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—Bacon—the exceptionally small shipment advised this morning has an exhil- arating influence upon the market, and a strong tone results. Clear bellies are in good demand, and sizable fresh parcels Is and 2s dearer. Cumberland cut is also inquired for at more money, whilst other articles turn against buyers. Shoulders-New Yorks meet with an improved demand, and though not quotably dearer previous quotations more easily obtained Waterford and ContinentaJ bacon slow, and quota- tions reduced 4s per cwt. Square cuts sell fairly well and favour sellers. Hams—long cuts continue ex- tremely scarce and quoted at 2s advance, whilst short cuts actually on the spot and ready for delivery bring full prices. Lard moving in sympathy with cables from the other side is quieter, and prime Wes- tern a shade easier in price, Cheese remains without special feature: the demand is quiet at former quotations. Butter moves slowly into consumption, and late prices are barely maintained. Eggs in good request, and with small supplies of Irish late rates are maintained. Beef in fair demand, and firmly held for recent enhanced currencies. Pork quietly steady without change. CUBBENT QUOTATIONS. Beef, extrn.

PADDOCK GOSSIP. GATWICK, Tuesday.—The Gatwick Executive had made elaborate arrangements for the meetmg which opened to-day, and it was therefore some disappointment when the outlook was of such a disspiriting character in the Metropolis this morning. Of course sportsmen conld afford to view the downfall with equanimity, but it is a different question with the promoters of meetings, and it would have been more satisfactory if the deluge had ceased a little earlier. The specials from town were not so well filled as usual, but under the circumstances the company was about as large as could be expected. The band of the Royal Marines performed in the club enclcsnre but they played before a beggarly array of empty benches, so to speak, the mu3ter of members being a small one. The course had benefited wonderfully by the wet, and the presence of Tod Sloan proved an additional attraction. There was quite a wholesale alteration of officials from those printed on the card. Mr C. E. Robinson was detained on important business, w w 8 P'.4*36 in the judge's box was taken by Mr W. Manning, whilst owing to indisposition Mr Arthur Coventry was unable to be present, Mr bob 1 Anson wieldiug the starter's flag. M.u A. Verrall officiated as clerk of the scales, whilst to- morrow Mr John Pratt will act as auctioneer. T^kf. for the opening race, the Charlwood Handicap, filed out of the paddock in a blaze of sunshine. Tod Sloan rode Leggan Hall, a colt purchased by Captain Machell in Ireland. He was backed for a lot of money for the race which Kirscnwasse-r was awarded after Mandorla ha,d been disqualified at Newmarket. Sloan now put up no less than 81b overweight, but in spite of tins the colt was always a hot uy nu° ?leans we?l away when the flag fell, and when half the journey had been covered was floundering; all over the course, and finished last. Filassier, who had been gradually runmng himself into form and had been consider- ably dropped m the handicap, now s^rr'! rather easily from Terror. JSMfKt0W'Sl0tth^ turned out the Willow Nursery, and the best JT.?1 a-ps held by Dominican, who tr Jowltt s *teble at Manches- ter.

The rush to back Sloan's mounts results in many C8,ses in false prices being taken, and this was particularly the case as regards Manatee for the Surrey Nursery, for it will be remembered he was easily beaten by La Uruguaya at Newmarket.

A humourist suggests that Sloan may ritk S.l.,l:t the Wind in the Manchester Cup. Madden is stated to have received £1,000 for riding Cha,leureux to victory in the Cesarewitch. It is said that Sir J. B. Maple has £6,000 to X500 about his filly Nun Nicer for the Cambridge- shire. The Duke of Portland's Wa.nta.ge (3ys), by Sheen-Satchel, left G. Dawson's stables at New- market on Monday for the Welbeck Stud Farm. It is more than likely that in the Cambridge- shire Dinna Forget will go to the post independ- ently of Mount Prospect, whose change of owner- ship will not entail a change of stables. A cute American recently took iE200 to X20 that Sloan would ride one hundred winners in England this year. It is all the odds against him. Sirenia and Waterhen are likely to be tried this week. The four year old is said to be consider- ably better than the Duke of York Stakes winner and John Porter backed her when she ran in the Wokingham Stakes at Ascot. Carhaix, who won the Union Jack Stakes this season at Liverpool, defeating Orviepano, Vatel, and Pheon, has been purchased by Mr T. Hood- less, and that gentleman ha.s sent the three year old son of Tristan—Oceana to Lewes, where he will be trained by J. Riste. The Star has been propounding a conundrum as to whether women should ride in horse races. The answer which won the third prize was Considering that I wheel has usurped the place of I will in feminine aspiration, that the new women pride themselves more upon their latch- keys than upon their locks, that as lady cab- drivers they can go the pace, that a.s commercials they know how to travel, and that as shop assis- tants they have had experience in manipulating the ribbons, it is not surprising that the fair sex are clamorous for yet another lift in the race of life. But one thinks that women have ridden the high horse quite long enough, hence the undesirability of such an innovation as the ques- tion involves. Allow them to become jockeys and mounted upon their steeds, they would look down upon men more than ever. Consequently both man and horse say neigh to sceh a proposa'.

SWANSEA EXCHANGE. SWANSEA, TUESDAY. There was a fair attendance at the meeting to-day. The pig iron market has continued to advance steadily during the week, leaving off firm at 6d to 9d per ton higher than the prices prevailing a week ago. The shipments are well maintained in Scotch and hematite, while in each case there has been a reduction in stock, not- withstanding a falling off in the shipments of Middlesbrough, thus indicating that the home consumption has more than made up tor the deficiency. The prices of soft steel merchant bars has been advanced nearly £ 1 per ton as against the advance in Staffordshire bars of 10s per ton, but this is to be accounted for by the lower comparative value that has existed in the old fashioned Welsh bar iron and the present soft steel bar which takes its place. The makers' quotations for tinplate bars are fully maintained at the recent prevailing figures, and the advance in pig-iron will further stimulate prices. The Bessemer works are under great pressure for deliveries of rails, etc., so that no business for prompt delivery has been done. The shipments of tinplates have again fallen off, but all the works are fuily engaged, and the deficiency in shipments is made up by the increase in the home consumption, lhe prices of plates will have to be advanced to cover the mereased cost of raw material, and there is no further regard to be taken as to keep- ing prices down to compete with America, who are now self-supplying, leaving us the other markets only to supply. A further advance of a 15s has taken place in block tin upon the week while spelter has advanced 10s per ton in the same period. Copper shows a slight improve. merit, lead remaining unaltered.
