LONDON, Monday. —Trade this morning was delayed by the fog, but, apart from this, there was a lack of demand, and in the beast market, the supply being larger, buyers were made chary in bidding. The assortment included nine Scotch, which reached 5s per 8 lbs for the best few. Choice Devons brought 4s lOd to 5s. Among the Herefords and Runts choice qualities were not numerous and brought 4s 8d to 4s lOd, while Shorthorns was a very drugging sale at about 4s 4d to 4s 6d. About 200 Irish met with a dull sale at about 4s 4d. Canadians met with but little demand. The demand for sheep was checked by the dull state of the dead meat trade and the full supplies of country-killed mutton. The pig trade was reported dull. LIVERPOOL, Monday.—The supply of cattle was smaller than last week, the demand slow, and prices irregular. Sheep were larger in number than last week, the demand better, and ?rices unchanged.

BRADFORD, Monday.—The downward move- ment both in Botony and domestic wools in this market has been effectually arrested. The tone to-day was firmer. It was not possible to obtain advances, but there was more disposition to do business at late rates. The consumption was steady but not brisk At present local prices are not in sympathy with London sales, and a slight fall in sale values has considerably sur- prised spinners in this district. Mohair firm. Alpacca quiet.

HOME AND FOREIGN. The resnlt of the School Board election at Swansea is the gain of one seat for the Church party. Sir James Porter Corry, Conservative M.P. for Mid-Armagh, died on Saturday at his residence at Dunraven, Belfast. The Hon. W. Lowther (C.) has intimated his intention not to seek re-election for North West- moreland at the next general election. The funeral of Dr. Harvey Goodwin, Bishop of I Carlisle, took place on Saturday in the churchyard of Crosthwaitp Parish Church, Keswick. Is Congregationalism on the wane ? At the school board election at Swansea three yeirs ago fifty-four thousand Congregationalist votes were registered. On Friday last the number was eighteen thousand less. At the North Wales Assizes, Friday, Frederick W Barnwell, schoolmaster, Llandyrnog, was sen- tenced to seven years'penal servitude,for having had c improper relations with his niece, Rose Allen, aged twelve years and ten months, who has recently been delivered of a child. Bishop Edwards, of Bangor, is now entitled to take his seat in the House of Lords, and it is said that never have three such youthful prelates as those of Chester, St. Asaph and Bangor entered the Upper House simultaneously. The London. Gaette of Thursday night contains a Royal proclamation declaring Parliament to be furthur prorogued from December 10th to February 9th, 1892, at which date it will assemble for the despatch of divers urgent and important affairs." Mr Cecil Foljambe, M.P., Gladstonian member for the Mansfield Division of Nottingham, will retire from political life at the expiration of the present Parliament. He has declined several in- vitations to contest a Nottinghamshire county division in the Liberal interest. The centenary of Thomas Wiltshire Summersam, an old sailor, who fought in the American War of 1813, was celebrated at Brightlingsea, on Thursday. The veteran, whose father was mayor of Col- chester, sang the National Anthem in fine style, and in an incisive speech said he hoped to carry himself like a man to the last day of his life. The National Conservative Club in Pall Mall has now almost reached its limit of 2,000 home members, and the committee are considering the question of making an entrance fee after the end of next month. Over 300 European and native Christians have been massacred by the Chinese rebels who are in revolt against the Government. Mr Richard Power, Nationalist M.P. for Wolter- ford, is the latest addition to the Parliamentary death loll, having died in Loudon oa Sunday even- ing from congestion of the lungs. The Dean of St. David's has recently found within the cathedral precincts a sepulchral slab, bearing a beautiful cross ornamented with inter- laced work and an inscription in minuscules, which may be translated thus :—"The two sons of Bishop Abraham, Hed and Isac, lie here peacefully." Bishop Abraham was killed by the Danes in their last descent upon St. David's in A.D. 1078, and he was succeeded by Sulgen. The dean's treasure trove is thus of considerable historical import- ance. The result of the clearing at the Clogan Gold Mine, Barmouth, on Saturday, as certified by the Crown agent, was 84oz. of pure gold, the quantity of quartz crushed being 20 tons 15 cwt. Madame Patti-Nicolini has just returned to Craig-y-Nos Castle, after her successful tour in the English provinces and Ireland. Madame Patti will remain at her Welsh home till a few days before Christmas: when she leaves for New York. The Baptist Chapel at Chelmondiston, in Suffolk, which gained an unenviablo notoriety last year, was again the scene of extraordinary proceedings last week. With a view of asserting their right to participate in the management of the services, the dissentient deacons and trustees waited upon the minister, Rev John Cordle, and requested that an evening prayer meeting might be held. Mr Cordle, who now resides in an adjoin- ing parish, and has not been in the habit of open- ing the Chapel on Sunday evenings, refused this request, and contended that these who made the application were no longer members of the churrh. The result of some argument was that the dissentients refused to leave the chapel tintil the keys, to which they asserted a right, were handed over to them. A crowd assembled in the grave- yard, and for a long time there was a warm dis- cussion, both inside and outside the building. At length the minister sent for his new deacon and ordered him to lock the doors. The dissentients refused to leave, however, and the vestry was the scene of some unseemly struggles in the efforts made to throw them out by force. Two policemen were called in to restrain the vigorous action taken by the minister's doacon, who, seizing a favourable opportunity, locked the doors, and thus imprisoned about six members of the congregation and a reporter who was taking a note of the proceedings. It was then q-iite dark, and the prisoners remained quiet for htilf an hour, the crowd outside greeting a suggestion that they were holding a prayer meeting with roars of laughter. The deacons then tried to escape by the windows. This attempt was of no avail, but they got out at last by opening a back door which was barred only in the inside. Both parties to the disturbance claimed to have the law on their side, and the issue will doubtless be fought out in the loeal police court. At West London Police-court on Saturday Daniel Gatumack, of Welby-mews, and William Macrae, of Cornwall-road, were summoned for assaulting Matthew Boon, a house decorator. There were cross summonses, and Albert Lawes, of Tavistock- crescent, was also summoned for assaulting Wil. liam Macrae, all the parties being members of the Westbourne-grove Baptist Chapel.-In opening tha case Mr Haynes, for the complainant, said that a most disgraceful scene occurred at a meeting of the congregation, held on the 18th alt., over which the pastor, Mr Tuckwell, presided.— The complainant deposed that he attended the meeting, and insisted on moving a resolution, of which he had given notice. He was seized by the defendants for the purpose of moving him. He resisted, and was assaulted, all going down together,—Mrs Hamilton, who gave evidence in support of the complainant, said she saw Boon give the minister a knock (laughter).—Frank Knight, the condoctor of a Bible class at the chapel, said that at the time the complainant was seized he was waiting for the Chairman to find the rule relating to the c )ndtict of the meeting. The witness did not see any blows, but the complain- ant's face was scratched and bleeding,—Mr Farman observed that uuless there w is some authority it would be impossible to carry on the business of a meeting. An attempt was made to remove the complainant because he refused to obey the rulfcs of the cbair.—Mr John Tuckwell said he had been minister of the chapel betwevn ten and eleven years. The complainant bad stated that it was through the pastor's craft that his resolution was not put, which was incorrect. A resolution was carried that he should not be heard unless the objectionable remark was withdrawn. As he refused, witness said he could not he beard. However, at his intercession the resolution was rescinded, and the complainant was allowed to move his. He did not see any blows, as he was looking for the rule.—Mr Curti-j Bennett agreed that it was a disgraceful scene. He fined each of the defendants Gammack and Macrae 40s., with 12s Gd costs; and dismissed the summons against Boon and Lawes, with 1 Is costs in each case. Mr W. Richards contributes the following allotment balance sheet to the London Daily News of Tuesday--As an illustration of the great benefit an allotment is to a villager, I append the actual cash statement of a one-acre allotment in South Oxfordshire. J. P.. who holds the allotment to which the figures refer, is a shoemaker, and has usually worked the land himself in odd times but during the past year, his health having failed. he has been compelled to employ labour, so that these figures would be more favourable had his health remained good.

ABERYSTWYTH. THE POST OFFICE.—Dr J J Rowland has been appointed medical officer in the room of the late Dr. Morris Jones, deceased. APPOINTMENT.-The Rev E Penllyn Jones, Re- gistrar of the U.C.W., has accepted ihe patronage o! the English C.M. Chapel, Bangor-is- Coed. PREFERMENT.—The Rev J Y Evans, formerly of Llanbadarn, now curate of Briton Ferry, has been preferred to the benefice of Crasswall, near Hay, Herefordshire. THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB CONCERT.—We under- stand that the committee have been successful in securing the services of the best ballad singer in the kingdom, Miss E Kentish Moore, for the annual concert on the 16tb inst. It is well known that Miss Moore has the frequent honour of appearing before the Queen and Royal family at Balmoral. SAD AND FATAL AcclDFNT.-On Wednesday week an inquest was held at Rh03c€llan-fach on the body of Mr David Jones, of that farm, who was killed on the previous Monday night on his return home over the Cliffs from Aberystwyth hiring fair. He fell over while trying to reach his hat, which had been blown away. He difd from the injuries the following morning. The coroner was Dr. Evan Rowland. The deceased was attended by D Turner. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci- dental death." REMOVAL OF THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—The Clnb has been removed to Sydenham House, Great Dark Gate-street, whera far more commodious and extensive premises suitable for the purposes of the Club have been arranged. The Club, under the valuable patronage of his lordship as president, and Mr Morris Davies' (the chairman) active inte- rest, is making rapid strides, and its influence will be materially felt in the forthcoming general election. THE COMING OF AGE OF MR. E. A. POWELL, NANTIMOS.-The celebration was duly concluded on Wednesday, at Nanteos, by the presentation to the heir of a valuable hunter, the gift of the tenants. The splendid animal was obtained from Pembrokeshire at a cost of .£90, and is of a rich bay colour, and a fine specimen of the breed. The pre- sentation was made in appropriate terms by Mr Edward Richard. Gwarfelin. The selection was made by Mr J Parry, Glanpaith Mr Richards, Penuwch Mr J Morgan, Cefnmelgoed, and Mr T Morgan. Nantrhyd, and haR given great satisfac- tion both to the donors and recipient. ELECTION OF SCHOOL BOARD.—There was a larger poll on Friday last for the election of seven members of the School Board, by between 50 and 60, than there was for the election of the four retiring members of the Town Council on the 2nd November, showing that comparatively more interest is taken here in elementary education than in the management of the financial business of the ratepayers and the improvement of the town but it was, however, evident that the denominational religious element entered more into the latter election than did the political element into the prior one. Anticipating this, we at the last moment impressed upon the Church party to stand or fall together by dividing their votes, as was recommended at a previous meeting, aud we are clad to state that the arrangement was pretty nearly acted opon, enabling us to secure the triumphant return of onr three candidates out of seven by a most creditable majority, as will be observed by the figures below. The poll opened at 8 a.m. and concluded at 8 p.m., under the pre- sidency of the Mayor. The polling took place at the Town Hall, where the usual five booths were arranged. The counting up being better arranged in two separate rooms than has been the practice hitherto, the result was ascertained and declared in little more that half the delay that usually occurs. Below are the votfs accorded to each the figures in brackets represent the number of plumpers received:—Peter Jones, Baptist, 1,173 (73); Rev J H Protheroe, Churchman, 862 (6); Thomas Hall, Wesleyan, 851 (57); Thos. Griffiths, Churchman, 847 (13); William Thomas, Calvinistic Methodist, 794 (42); Rev Prebendary Williams, Churchman, 770 (14) T Owen, Calvinistic Mecho- dist, 730 (29). Non-elected—John Evans, Indepen. dent, 613 (43); Mrs E James, Calvinistic Metbo. dist, 531 (12). After the declaration of the poll by the Mayor, each elected candidate, according to priority of votes, returned thanks for the confidence reposed in them, and declared their intention not to forfeit the privilege, after which the thanks of the electors were given to the Mayor and the Town Clerk for conducting the proceedings so success- fully during the day. The crowd then separated very quietly in convenient time. It will be seen that all the old members have been returned with the exception of one (Mr John Evans). The new candidates were Mr Hall and Mrs James. The former had the undivided support of the We?- leyans, besides the patronage of the Radical Club, and it is anticipated he will make a very useful member. It is due to state, as to Mr John Evans, that he has been suffering from ill health for some time, and was no able to exert himself towards maintaining his position as well as he otherwise would have been able to do. Mrs James was con- sidered a strong candidate, as claiming to repre- sent the female interest in education. C, A notice- able faet is that Mr Peter Jones increased his sup- porters by 342, and Mr Tom Griffiths by 159, and for the sake of a fuller comparison we may give the poll at the previous election, which was-Wrn. Thomas, 912; Rev J H Protberoe, 870; Rev Pre- bendary Williams, 854; Peter Jones, 831; T Owen, 810; T Griffiths, 688; John Evans, 687 (elected), and T H Jones, 6S3.

LLANLLWNI. PRIMROSE LEAGUE MEETING. On Friday evening last—thanks to the Warden for the district, Miss Lloyd. of Pontllwni-a meeting of the Llanllwni Branch of the Llanybyther Habitation of the Primrose League was held in the National Schoolroom. The attendance was fairly large and would, doubtless, have been crowded had the meeting been advertised earlier. Those who were so fortunate as to be present were amply repaid for any trouble they may have been put to in attending. The programme consisted of a political address by Mr Pughe Davies, of Carmtrihen, and a series of magic lantern views representing incidents and places in the journey to and across Canada, in the Egyptian war, and in Venice. The magic lantern and accessories had been kindly lent by the Lord Lieutenant of Cardiganshire (Col. Davies-Evans), who, but for the illness of one of his sons, would have been present himself. Mr Pughe Davies, in his speech, showed effectively and conclusively that the Radicals were the party of promises, while the Conservatives were the party of performances, and proved by statistics that even in retrenchment and reforms—which terms the Radicals profess to regard as their peculiar watch- words-that their opponents were not in the running. The speech was thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed. The magic lantern slides were manipulated, and the views commented on by the Rev W. L. Davies, the genial curate of Llanybyther. A better" showman" than he proved himself to be would have been difficult to find. At the conclusion, Mr Pnahe Davies proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Lloyd and to the Rev W. L. Davies, while Miss Lloyd proposed onn to Mr Pughe Davies. The votes were carried with acclamation. Miss Lloyd, by providing such a very instructive and enjoyable meeting, has added one more to the almost innumerable obligations to her under which Llanllwni and the surrounding districts have long been placed.

LLANSAINT. NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The following is the report by the Diocesan Inspector on the above school :— "Thisschool passed an excellent examination, and the results are very creditable to the master. I hope that next year the upper group will present the whole Prayer Book subject. Both tone and discipline are highly satisfactory. The singing was very nice, the voices being well trained, but it rather lacked animation. School in regard to religious education as a whole-excellent." COLMAN'S MUSTARD OIL.-Those who suffer from rheumatism may obtain speedy relief by using Colman's Mustard Oil. Outwardly applied, it is of marvellous efficacy, as thousands of sufferers can attest who have found relief from its application when all other Embrocations had failed. Sold by Chemists and Grocers at 18 per Bottle. THE UNEMPLOYED IN EAST LONDON.—At a time when much thought is being given to this matter, a practical suggestion may be of service. Last year more than Y,300,000 worth of foreign matches were purchased by inconsiderate consumers in this country, to the great injury of our own working j people, so true is it that evil is wrought by want of thought, as well as want of heart. If all consumers would purchase Bryant and May's matches that, firm would be onabled to pay £ 1.000 a week roOf" ii, W I T LACTINA" i,,r I■ J'FUVFIII.- se«»ur, tie boiling, ;tij.i rest* ii" tialf the price of is easily <)j and tii-hly relished > lit yoimt; i. -mal.

His Lordship the Earl of Lisburne has again this year continued his generosity by inviting a few gentlemen from this neighbourhood to a day's coursing at Cross wood Park. On Friday, the 27th ult, Mr John Daniel Jenkins, auctioneer, Rhydybene, Mr David Griffiths, Ffwrd, Dr. Hughes, and others, met at the Park and had some very fine sport, but they only succeeded in killing six, as all the hares ran very strong. His lordship entertained the party to a substantial luncheon. OBITUARY. We regret to announce the death, at the age of 35, of Mrs Mary Edmunds, wife of Mr Edmund Edmunds, saddler, Harford Square, of this town, which sad event took place on Saturday last, the 28th ult. The deceased had been ailing for some time, but until lately hopes were entertained of her ultimate recovery. She had been married to Mr Edmunds for the last five years, but leaves no children. She was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Evans, Bryngranod, Llanwenog, and leaves behind her her mother & a large family "f brothers and sisters to mourn her loss, besides Mr Edmunds, who feels her loss keenly, and much sympathy is felt through- out the town and neighbourhood for the husband in his present bereavement. The funeral took place yesterday at St. Peter's churchyard, where the last tribute of respect was paid to the remains by the deceased's relations, and a large company of friends from all parts, the coffin being covered with wreaths as a long farewell token. YOUNG MEN'S FRIENDLY SOCIETY. At a meeting of the Young Men's Friendly Society, held 011 Friday, the 27th ult, the Rev Daniel Jones, vicar, in the chair. Mr H. It. Richards, Red Lion, moved that the "Pen is mightier than the sword," and Mr David Evans, Station Terrace, opposed. There was a good attendance of member?, and a few Probationers, most of whom took part in the debate. When this society was first set on foot about two months ago, the fiisu meeting was numerously attended by young m in of the town of whatever religious persuasicn, and a large number of the under- graduates of the St. David's College. Since then the gatherings have not been so well attended, and at one time it seemed that the project would be a failure. The last meeting, however, showed signs of re-action, which must be very gratifying to all, especially to the chair- man, the Rev Daniel Jones, but for whom the society would ere this have been a thing of the past. After the mover and seconder had ably addressed the meeting, several of those present spoke a few words on either side. Mr George Paran Brown, supporting the mover, delivered a very long and eloquent speech, and quoted poetry in a manner that proved that it was not his first appearance in a debating contest. After the mover had summed up, the motion was put to the meeting, whereupon the Cons won by a majority of two. Before dispersing, Mr T. D. Lloyd, Dolgwm House, was unanimously elected to the post of secretary to the society, and a few rules were passed as to future debates. THE PROPOSED WELSH UNIVERSITY.—" Gwy- liedydd writing on the above subject in the Mail says :—I mentioned last week that the de- nominational papers did not refer to the Shrews- bury conference, but that they would probably discuss the subject a month hence. They have, however, taken notice of it earlier than was expected, not because of their appreciation ot higher education or their desire to obtain a Welsh university, but owing to the suggestion that St David's College, Lampeter, should be asso- ciated with it. To them a Welsh university with Lampoter College affiliated would be regarded as a curse rather than a blessing, and they are prepared to wait any length of time rather than be subject to such an indignity. Let the uni- versity go to the wind rather than have Lampeter affiliated with it," says the Tarian; and the electors of the Carmarthen Boroughs are asked to mark their disapproval of Mr Lewis Morris' proposal by rejecting him as a member. The Tyst "protests" against Lampeter College being associated with the university, and the Baner insinuates that it is intended to have a Papist chairman for it. The idea of the Nonconformist press of a university is something to damage the Church and hasten disestablisbment. They are probably ignorant of the great work done by St David's College, Lampeter, and of the eminent divines who have taken part in the training of that institution. They possibly do not know that Dr Harold Browne, Dr Rowland Williams,Dr Ollivant, and Dr Jayne spent some of their best days at that college, and that the institution has turned out some of the best clergymen now engaged in the services of the Church.

GAltNANT. PERSONAL. -It is with unfeigned regret that we have to chronicle the event of the removal of Sergt. Henry Evans from the above place, to take charge of the police station at St. Clears. He had been in charge of this district for upwards of 18 years, and during that time he had won the respect of all with whom he had come into contact. His loss is a public one, and it will be most difficult to find a man to successfully fill the position vacated by him. Yet, although his departure is a loss to the community at large- his loss to the Church at Cwmamman is infinitely more. As Churchmen, Sergt. Evans and his family were famed for that consistency which goes so far to mark the genuine Christian. Always were they to be seen in attendance at the services, and sadly is their presence missed by their fellow-worshippers. We cannot help feeling, while lamenting his and family's absence, that the Church at St. Clears will be a gainer. We hope and trust that a bright and happy future is before them, and that all the blessings this world can give will fall to their lot. They will never be forgotten by their many friends in 11 the Amman Valley.
