i lIt. T. VINCENT DAVIES'…
i lIt. T. VINCENT DAVIES' SONGS. (BY EOS RHONDDA.) Continued. « ¡n oonquer or die for Old England." It would appear that Mr Vincent Davies is the author of both words aad aauaio in this case, which are eminent for their loyal cast of feeling. The open- ing, Con Spireto, has a boldness well describing the feeling of a loyal veteran. The leading symphonic melody is then taken up by the voice ending in the 12th meaaure. We cannot rery well perceive the author's idea in bar 14th of the accompaniment, where we find the seventh, as it were, broken up into a shake; perhaps he intends it as an ornamental cttdence for our part, let that be so. In the same measure (the 14tb) "Though my oomrades should fail aud the foempn prevail," &c., we have an in- teresting change to the key of F sharp minor, ter- minating, however, with the period commencing on the fourth beat in bar 8 and ending ia bar 12 on tonic, with the exception of a varied treatment in the accompaniment. Upon the wholo this is an ex- cellent soug for a good baritone voice and we be- lieve will keep the author from bein^ Boon for- gotten. Spring, it is Cheery," and so it is in our way of thinking. The words are by Tom Hood and it is demonstrated on the face of the copy as a "Humorous Ditty." Well, we will agree even to that. The key is A three-sharps and in six eight time, with an opening symphony of four bar*. The musical term applied is Giocoso, an Italian Nord, meaning hnworonsly, with sportireuesB." We venture to give the last stanza, being the fourth, viz. Friends, they are scanty, Begirar. are plenty, If lie has followers, I know why; Gold in bis clutches, (Baying him crntobea !) What can old man do but die ? A very simple melody, with an accompaniment equally simple. It is, notwithstanding the aim. plicity we charge it with, a melody well adapted to thA words, and goes a long way to prove that Mr Davies is un able writer of short melodies. We rather think that the author has somewhat trespassed the law of symmetrical order; we should have preferred the acci mpaDiiuent to end with the same number of measures as the opening and not with two measures. The author presents his patrons with a four part song for two tenors and two basses, in the key of A four flats, common time. The words are by J. R. Plaaehe, Esq., and are designated German Boat Song." Hitherto we have had to do with twenty-three songs singly, in this case it is a song for four yoices singing togethor. The Prince author of four part song writing was, undoubtedly, Mendelsshon. Where is there a musician cf any note who has not been delighted with his The hoar frost came of a wintry night," The Lark," Spring," The Nightingale," Turkish drinking song," &c., &o. This great author's works of this class are in extancy far above any one else in the number he composed and in beauty of effect. Mr Davjes has written this soog in com- pressed coore equally advantageous, if necessary, for the voices and for an accompaniment. The opening by the lewer bass voice is bold and de- scriptive. On the word glide he pauses on the dominant seventh, forte, which, prepares beauti- fully for the four parts coming in together in Mezzo piano, ending the movement in the opening key. The lower E flat fn the cadence, we fear, woald not always secure a tameable rendering, unless in some very special cases. Perhaps there was some one in view when the note was penned, if not, it will be an infiin^ement of the law, that a lower part must not sing above an upper part, or exceed its boundary limit. The andante movement, next following, in D fiirO-fl&ts, a short period commenc- ing on the dominant A and ending on the new tonio, and thereby giving a desirable relief be. tween the first End third movement the harmony of the second period is simple bat strikingly ffeo- tive. The third movement begins, key D flat, in unison, wading along through seven burs into the eighth measure; there, preparation is most naturally arrived at without cessation, for the double forte chord in original key a great deal may be snid in favonr of this last movement. The author has not overlooked making good and efficient use of the tinting brush, ai d well may he have dene 60 as we find no daubs anywhere. We are onrious, indeed, to hear this part Bong executed by fear good voicex, then, with an accompanist. We think it a most creditably written piece of harmony throughout. Now, the 24 songs are all ended, we should wish to see some substantial work as a whole, emanating from M r Dav;es'pen. It is by continaed perseverance 1 hat he will. w* feel sure, soar above those who nurse prejn<ii, *> against youngsters who are anxious to get on. We notice wiih much delight that Mr Davies' fifth annunl <v is to came off on Thursday evening, the 18"b inst., at the Town Hall, Ponty. pridd. We see that several of his songs are then to be S110g, viz. "-¡'II conquer or die for Old Eng- Alawydd The pleasant month of Mies Rowlands; Ever to love thee," Madatnepenn;" The Lost Bride," Mips Jones; ,,The IdeidemL,a Desire," Miss James Kirkonel," Eca Morlais. The above offers an exrellent opplY tUlJity to the public to hear B&me Qf the songs, which, doubtless, will be well executed when we see sr;ch a body of excelled as those mentu'nod coining for- ward to do J»r Davies' sengs, we pinoerely hope, all the justioe they deserve in every respeofc. The concert will also Include several pongs, &c., by Molloy, Birch, Pontet, Balfe, Hatton, &c. Miss J lllia Thomas is to preside at the piansforte.

A YOUNG NOBLEMAN'S SPREE.
A YOUNG NOBLEMAN'S SPREE. A court-martial has been held onboard H.M.8. Victory, in Portsmouth Harbour, for the trial oi Viscount Dursley and Rogers E. Morris, sub-lieu- tenants in the lioyal Navy, against whom there were three charges of disorderly conduct of action, to the prejudice of good order and naval discipline, by breaking furniture and otherwise creat ng dis- turbance, and of behaving with contempt towards Lieutenant Hamilton. At about half past threw 011 the afternoon of Sunday, the 31st January, singing and pianoforte playing commenced in the smoking- room of the R.N. College, Greenwich, Divine ter- vice being held at the time in the chapel ab,)ve. Later on in the day Lord Dursley misbehaved Ilim- self at the tea table by throwing toast at another member of the mess, and lie persisted 111 tiiis in spite of remonstrancoafrotn another officer present. Shortly before ten p.m. the prisoners were throw- ing tumblers about, and breaking furni.ure in an ante-room, making at the same time unseemly noises at midnight. Lord Dursley was seen hy tIm- porter running about in the corridor in his sliirt. and the assistance of a senior oilicer had to be nb, tained to get him into his room. Viscount Dursley pleaded guilty, and through Mr. Felllia t;, solicitor, who appeared as his friend, urg- d that, it being liis birthday, lie had taken more wine than was good for him. He fulmiittetlirst-class certificates, show- ing that he was regarded as a pro:ms.ng young officer, and hud» passJf his examinations w U. Evi- dence was tlian taken Hn. the case of Morris, who pleaded not guilty. "The Court deliberate l for some- time, and then adjudged Viscount Dursley to lost one year's seniority, and to be severely reprimanded. With regard to Sub-lieutenant Morris, laving re. gard to his previous misconduct, they directed him to be dismissed her Majesty's service.
AN INCIDENT OF TIlE LONDON…
AN INCIDENT OF TIlE LONDON RIOTS. The Daily Telegraph says :-A painful rumour is in circulation that Mr. Walter Webb had died from the results of injuries during Monday's riot whilst endeavouring to protect the property of his father, a jeweller, at .446, Oxford t-'tree;. We are happy to state that the report was without foundation. On Monday afternoon Oil seeing the mob Mr. Walter Webb rushed out of his shop with the intention (If putting up his shutters. He was, however, too late for as soon as he made his appearance some of the rioters attacked him, stole his watch, chain, and gold eye-glasses, and, attempted to throw him into his own shop-window. They were prevented from do- ing this by the timely intervention of his eldest son, ,1;1 'ttc Mr. Wa ter Webb, an artist, who fortunately hap- pened to have looked in on a casual visit. With the aid of a pole, having an iron houk at the end, he kept the assailants back but they eventually got into the shop, and commenced looting it. Mr. VValter Webb, during his efforts to repel them, received a heavy blow in the face from a club but he fought on, and, with the assistance of two younger brothers —Arthur, a lad of only 14, who had his head split open by a blow from one of the ruffians, and Horace -the pillagers were driven away, not, however, until they had abstfacted stock and done damage tu the amount of £ 1,000. The injured lads, Walter and Arthur, have been confined to bed ever since but they are going on favourably. iL, man has been apprehended at Bermondsey with the gold chain taken from Mr. Webb in his possession, and lie is new under remand.
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A BOARD…
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A BOARD OF GUARDIANS' MEETING. At the meeting of the Kilmallock Board of Guardians, an extraordinary scene in connection with the working of the Labourers' Act was enacted. A number of labourers met at Bruff, and having balloted for Ii) cottages iu course of erection there, determined on coeicing the Guardians of the Union into acquiescing with this novel method of dispos- ing of the Union property. A noisy crowd of over 200 labourer assembled in front of the Union build- ing, and cheered or groaned at the Guardians a.s they passed in. One of the Guardians was forcibly- prevented from entering the Board Room. The labourers ultimately knocked down the gate porter and others employed to prevent their entrance to the Board Room, and, rushing up the stairs, took possession of the premises. In vain did the chair- man and other guardians strive to reason with the labourers as to the illegality of their proceedings, as it was only those labourers whose former dwellings had been condemned that could be legally .entitled to the houses in course of erection. One labourer said as he had drawn a ticket he would "stick t,) the house, and hang for it." Another declared that they would not let the guardians have their own way in the matter, and that the Board was ruled by farmer influences, a remark which was warmly ap- plauded by the other labourers present. A third labourer, who brandished a stick, shouted that they \V8uld not allow a man named Murphy, who had got a cottage from the Board by consent at a previous meeting, to take possession until lie Iud" drew from the hat" like the rest of them, and that he would take possession of Murphy's h 'use. The labourers, on being induced to withdraw, proceeded to the front of the buildmij* and were addressed by a speaker, who called on them excited terms to stick to what they had done. Alter a lapse of about ten minutes the labourers again broke into the Board room, and only aftor a or confusion consented to leave, 011 condition that four of their number were allowed to slay inside during the deliberations. It was finally agreed that the choice of should be left 10 th'? clergyman of Brnff and tin local guardians, and the labourers expressing them- selves satis lied, the meeting adjourned.
ITHE GREAT BANK ROBBERIES…
THE GREAT BANK ROBBERIES IN PARIS. The Paris correspondent of the Standard says The individual who calls himself William Scott, and who was ar ested last year as one of tho-e concerned in the daring robbery committed on November 3, 1884, at the oflice of Messrs. Uodrigues Brother. 13, Rite do la Paix, was brought up for trial before the Paris Assize Court. William Scott was also charged with having participated in the robbery which was perpetrated on May 3, 1884, on the pre mises of the Soiee'te' Financiere de Banque et de Commission.'sittr.ited in the Hue de Rivoli. The burglars enured these premises by means of skeleton keys, and then with crowbars forced open two iron safes. In (he one they found nothing but account books, but from the other they stole property amounting iI1 value to about £ ^,000. It consisted of X680 in Biutk notef, a large quantity of scrip stocks and shares, some money in gold rmtl silver coin, and a quantity of jewels. The thieves had not been arrested when the premises of'Messrs. Rodrigues Brothers, in the Rue de la I'aix, were entered in a precisely si-Hilar manner, 011 the 3rd of November. From subsequent information received by ti e p dice, it was proved that both these robberies were com- mitted by a hand. of foreign burglars, and as the numbers of the stocks and shares were almost all known grc it hopes were entertained of being able to capture the thieves. It was not, however, till long after the second robbery that an individual was arrested at Nuremberg for attempting to dis- pose of on( of the shares that had been stolen. It was worth only one hundred and sixty pounds, but several otli-rs were found in his possession. The oian arrested was the individual who was tried, and who calls himself William Scott. Whether that is his real name it has been impossible to discover. but it has bee i ascertained that he formed part of a band of English thieves a d that under various n imes he occupied himself a, lively with the sale of the stoler property. The prisoner denied to the very last tin u he participated JI1 the robberies, and pretended that lie had received the stock and shares found in his possession from a certain James Wheeler, ot" London, in payment of some speculative operations. The police have not been able to dis- cover any trace of James Wheeler, und the jury, refusing to crndit\the story, found him guilty, with- out even admitting any extenuating circumstances. William S 'it was, therefore, condemned to twenty years' liaro laoour.

MOTES ON MM'JRR: ONCE mt.tr/' Mec tion tur noil vails thrtngb- out many iu Gi*m.>rgtr..hire. Now, t' e contests are not to decid» the$rt<r of ''the Glamorgan"Ten,but "the parish or niirtk or sever-, as the case may be, and yota come to parish politics, you are safe of wectirina: the attention and interest of that all- imp'H-iant individual, the rittptyer. Like » true Briton he feels his heart touched throngh his pocket. IN Llanwonno parish jhere is a keen co.teat.. iifteen candidates having been nomiiifltcd for nine seats. Two of those nominated, vix. Messrs J. G. Jones, Porth, and E. Thomas. Ferndale, have withdrawn. There was another nomination—that of Mr W, Bevan, of Ynysybwl, but the paper not being properly filled up, the Returning officer, Mr ^picket!, declared it bad." In regard to the Ferndafe candidates, it may be mentioned th it, a public, meeting having resolved to support Mr tyorgaa Thomas, confectioner, as a new candidate, Mr Evan Thomas; who had occupied ths se«rt' foj> three years, gave way hence, his withdrawal. THB representation of places is a question largely entered into in this contest, and quit* properly, for Llanwonno is a peculiar I v-formed parish. It includes a portion of Pontypridd!, and then forks out, on the one side along the laff Valley to Peorhiwceiber and Mountain Ash, and on the other along one side of the Rhotidda to Porth, and thsnce along one sidfe of the Hhondda Faeh to Blaenllechxu. Almost every town, village or "place" claims a representative on the School Board, and as the cumulative vote can be given to one candidate or divided between the nine candidates, or any number of them, the opportunity is given to each place to make up numbers by usine "plumpers." POLLING will be carried on at the following places on Monday next, the 22nd inst Vestry Hall, Pootypndil; Rbonddk (Hop- kinstown Baptist Chapel; Hafod Schools- Porth Schools; Blaenllechau Assembly-hall Ynysybwl -chool; Navigation Schuol; Pen- rhiwceiber School; and for Mountain Ash at Miekin School, Rhos Vestry, Newtown School,, and Bethaoia Vestry. ONI: cannot help regretting that Pontypridd has once more fallen into the error of nomine* ting too many candidates, so that it is quite possible it may again be without a represents tive on the Board. Under the circninstances^, the only man likely to get in is he wke ma-nages to secure assistance in the shape of. votes given him by persons living elsewhere We make no distinction between person^, bet sincerely hope to see f e ix-t mAn win. Here, as at other places, canvassing is aotivetvr carried on in behalf of the loca] candidatH. and the appearance of candidates from other places and their canvassers helps to keep up the interest to a degree scarcely approaohadl since the first election, many years ago now, when the cry Why should Llanwouno take the first step in the matter ?" was raised. Since then, candidates and members have come and gone, but the Board goes on for ever, and it in to be hoped the education imparted at the schools and in the course of successive contests will ultimately teach the people of Pontypridd the value of the old Scriptural saying about a house divided against itself." MOUNTAIN Ash can always command a fair share of representation on the Llanwonaw School Board. One reason, undoubtedly, is- that the ratepayers of that neighbourhood act pretty unitedly in voting for their own candi- dates another is that the population there is large and the candidates are comparatively few. PENRHIWCEIBKR now brings out a candi- date, and as a new place with a large popula- lation, it will no doubt carry its man, Mr Llewelyn. Ynysybwl, makes a bid for a seat. Hafod has a candidate who is likely to secure the vote of ;ha Great Western workmen. At Porth there are two candidates, viz the Viee- chairman of the Board, and Mr Abraham, the manager of Hafod Colliery, who is brought ont to seek to fill the vacancy cached by the death of the Rev. George Thomas. Aber- llechan brings out the Rev. M. U. Jones, while, as has been stated, Blaenlieehau folks in public meeting assembled have fixed upon a new champion. WITH regard to the candidates we would not like to enter into invidious compar s</ns but some of them are likely, if elected to make better members than others, and, b,- we said of Pontypridd, so do we say of other places, let the be&t men win. It does not always happen, though. As there are only three members of the old Board now in the field, it is thought probable that they will be returned, and thur, the con- flict will really be waged over the other six seats. The thrpe are Mr T. Edwards (the chairman), Mr Idris Williams (Vice-chairman), and Mr J. W. Jones (the gentleman who, as a workman's candidate, scored the highest poll, at the last election.) NOT one whit more interest is tftkel1 iu Llan. wonuo, however, than the Llaniw.t Vardre people display in regard to the "f their own Board. There the aspirants r seven seats are nine in number, viz Me.viia j. Rich- ards (chairman), D. Leyshon (Victi-chainnan), J. Roberts, T Morgan, D*. Bryar,i (members of the old Board), and Mr T. Howells, Mr F. Judd, the Kev. Father Pudney, nod tire Rer. B. Kees polling takes place to-morrow (Friday.)
