Dear Sir,—Some years ago I had an attack of cholera, which left a thorough weakness in my legs, numbness in feet, and swollen ankle, causing pain and greatly inconveniencing me in getting about. I am pleased to te:! you that after wearing the Belt and Soles i purchased of you during your last visit a few hours I began to "feel an improve- ment, and after a week's trial the change was won- derful my legs were altogether stronger, the swell- ing of ankle had gone down, feet free from numb. ness, and the circulation restored through my body. I found a great improvement also in my voice, which was very weak; can now speak stronger, although it is ten year., since my voice broke down. I am highly satisfied witl.1 what your Appliances have done, and shall always recommend them with confidence in any similar case.—Yours truly JOHN TAYLOR Builder. Mr R Lonsdale.

I also have known several who have- worn the Magnetaire," and in every ca-LJ it ha-, relieved or cured them. If a rich person or two were to club a few stray sovereigns together and purchase some of your appliances, and give them to the poor and neeey, who cannot buy such earthly blessings, they could say hereafter, "They were sick. and I visited them."

There can be no surer indi- cation than an increased trade that the public duly appreciate fair dealing, and that' the efforts of MA.-TEES and COM PAX Y to supply goods of sterling value at the lowest remunerative profit have been f tuly recognised is proved by the result. 2
TOPICS OF THE DAY. i
TOPICS OF THE DAY. It is said that through Sir Charles Dilke a communication was made from the x-oun- a communication was made from the x-oun- j clary Commissioners to theCabinet 011 Vv edncs- day to the effect that tl12ir work Avas pro- ceeding so smoothly and rapidly, that their report will probably be ready (Jll the re- assembling of Parliament, in which case the names and particulars of the divisions of counties and boroughs could be inserted in the sliedules of the Bill upon the very first day in which the Bill is in committee. The Tunes oilers some advice to Prince Edward. "He will do well to prepare him- self for the age he will have to lead by I' moving wisely and thoughtfully indts diroc- tion. English mona-rchs have generallv • i )j ? done their duty in tnat way. This is news indeed So much cannot be said for the Four Georges or for the Stuarts. It is to be hoped that the yuung prince will not model himself on the example of the majority of English monarchs. The Royal Borough of Windsor is natur- ally renowned in the matter of Royali" L addresses, and the meanest inhabitants of the place know something of the language of the Court, and everything about the Royal Family and its numerous ramijicatiun3. In an address presented to Prince Albert\ ietor, the loyal citizens have, however, surpassed all previous achievements of the same nature. Descended from a line of Sovereigns," "says the address, "ennobled for all time by the rare virtues and the right royal wnsdorn of her most gracious Majesty the Queen born of a Prince and Princess dearer and deservedly dearer to the nation than any previous inheritors of the title or our iivsfc Iward well-informed in all that pertains 10 the welfare of your native land, as well as of the possessions and dependencies of the empire, and endowed with a name which is indissolubly associated with all that is noble and refined, your Royal Highness has indeed received a splendid birthright. The reader will probably Ü"1,e breath for a moment at this miraculous sentence. The amazing sycophancy of the sentiments is almost as striking as the marvellous grammar of the sentences in which they are expressed. For look you what the citizens of Windsor affirm. First, the young prince is descended from a line of sovereigns, and is ennooled for all time by the virtues and wisdom of his grandmother. It is not quite clear whether the prince or the line of sovereigns is eniiobled but clearly some one is ennobled by somebody else. Then the Prince and Princess of Wales are dearer to the nation than any previous inheritors of the tide of our iirst Edward. We can imagine the amiable Princess trying to work out the exact, bearing of that obser- vation upon herself. Finally the Royal Ih^nce is told that he is lcwell all that pertains to the welfare of your native land," and that he is "endowed with a name wiiich is indissolubly connected with all that is noble and rOli.ncd." L'rinee Albert Victor will probably be as much astonished to hear of the extraordinary range of his I, knowledge, as he will be to learn the mar- vellous properties of his name. The Board of Trade refurns for last year published this week show a heavy decline in our imports compared with the preceding year, but this decrease is mostly under the headings of articles of food and drink. In the one article of corn, in its different varieties, we imported last year £ 19,477,379 less than in 1833. On living animals for food we imported less in value by Sl, 400,000. There was also a fall in exports, but it was less than 3 per cent. The export of cotton goods shows a falling off both in quantities and values. The yards exported in 1883 numbered 4,538,000,000; last year only 4,417,000,000, a difference of 21,000,000 yarùs; whilst values fell front C55,5,34,000 to £ 51,661,000, or nearly £ 4,000,000. On the other hand, woollen manufacture shows a steady increase, the figures being for 1883, 928,315,000, against 220,132,000 last year. We are glad to note that Mr R. B. Brett will bring the question of a Second Ballot before the House of Commons early next session. His amendment to the Scats Bill is as follows :—"That in all districts return- ing one member to Parliament no candidate should be held to be duly elected unless he shall have received a majority of the total number of votes polled." This question must be dealt with sooner or later. Those who would like take advantage of Liberal divisions will of course oppose Mr Brett, but most of us are sufficiently acquainted with an exhaustive .ballot to recognise its advan- L'S. A War ice circular intimates that for the future Greek and Latin will not form part of the voluntary subjects of study in the course of instruction at the Royal Military Academy. Miss Mary Anderson is said to have ex- cluded Manchester from the list of towns she proposes to visit during her next tour.

-). THE great depression existing in the iron and steel trade of the country is shown by the Bord of Trade returns issued the week. The quantity of iron rails exported last montii was 1,745 tons and this compared favourably with the export of December 1885, which was only 1,037 tons. Bat taking the whole of last year, we find the export was only 15,531 tons, compared with tons in 1323, and 46,824 tons in 1382. The average value per ton of the iron rails exported last year was £ 614s lei; the .average value per ton of those exported in 1883 was £ 7 Is 2d, showing not only that the total quantity, but the average value per ton had largely decreased. When we turn to steel rails we find the figures stiil more ominous. The export of sceel rails last month was 3,277 tons, as compared with 54,221 tons in Dec. 1833, and 45.503 tons in Dec. 1382. For the wnole of 1834, the exoort of steel rails was 526,169 tons value £ 2,834,689; 1833—754,108 tons, valuer, 421,695 tons; 1882-734,959 tons, value 237. The average value per ton in the three several years was thus— 1332, £6 lis 6d 1333, £ 5 17s 3d 1834, Cs These figures show the steel trade to be in anything but a prosperous condition in this country. A decrease of over 50 per cent, last year, as compared with with the exnorts of 1883, and a further de- crease of 7s Sd in the average price per ton I is by no means a cheerful state of things for contemplation by steelworkers.

THE new Bankruptcy Act has now been in operation for twelve months, and it is highly gratifying to iind that it has realised the high antieipatioiis that were held of it. A report made at the end of the first quarter's working showed that there had been a great reduction in the number of bankruptcies, but it was very reasonably urged that this was due to the large number of cases that had been '• rushed through just before the expiring of the old Act, the fear being that defaulters would have a harder time of it under the provisions of the new Act This will in some degree affect the statistics for the whole year, but it is absurd to suppose that it is sunicieut to account for the great difference made manifest by the fact that for the past 12 months the number of bankrupts gazetted in England and Wales was 3,721 only, as compared with 10,183 for 1883. If last year had been one or brisk trade it might have been urged that that made all the difference, but such liasnotbeenthe case. Complaintsas to the state of trade have been as ioud and as numerous in 1834 as in 1383, and in the ordinary course of things we might have counted on the usually large crop of bankruptcies. But in the light of the great decrease, shown by the figures we have quoted, the new Act may fairly be credited with the improvement. It is asserted by taose who are disposed to decry the new- law that if there have been fewer bankruptcies gazetted, there have been more private arrangements with creditors. There is some question whether this is so, but admitting it to be the case, it may be taken for granted that these arrangement have been much more bene- ncial to creditors than the ordinary run of bankruptcies under the old Act. It is matter for congratulation when the com- munity exhibits signs of commercial and of physical health and that law is a good one which tends in either direction. "1"

PRINCE EDWARD OF ITYALES,…
PRINCE EDWARD OF ITYALES, i Celebration of his Majority. Speeches by tha Prince. Festivities at Sandringhani. S. Public Rejoicings, I Kixc's LYXX, Thursday.—To-day, Prince Edward of Wales, the eldest of the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales, attained his majority, and the occasion was marked by great rejoicing, not only in the neighbourhood of Sand- ringham, but throughout the whole of Norfolk and the adjoining counties. In deteience, it was generally understood to the wishes of the mem- bers of the royal family, there was no imposing procession or displays in the immediate vicinity of Sandringham House, but the congratu- lations which poured in fro:n all sides took the form of private expression of heartfelt wishes for the eonlinued well-being and happiness of t'nrm who for BO many years have .formed part almost of the daily life of the people of Norfolk. ACTION OLI THE LOCAL PUBLIC! 20DIES. For some time past the corporations of King's Lynn, Norwich, Cambridge, and other towns have been engaged in considering in what way they could most fittingly testify to their loyalty to the loyal family, and ultimately it was decided to make a presentation of addresses to Prince Edward, together with some gift which should act in the future as a souvenir of tiie day upon which ho came of ag;\ This meeting, with the sanction of th" Prince of Wales, accordingly became, as it were, the basis of to-day s rejoicings, and special arrangements were made so that the various deputations might have an opportunity of presenting their offerings in the presence of the numerous party who are the guests of the Prince and. Princess, it being obvious that a large number of the public could not be admitted to the presentation. THE DECOIIATIONS. The town and country folk round about began to consider what share they might take in the general rejoicing, and the result was that in King's Lynn and the two villages of Dersinghsm and Wolferton, which lie nearest the royal residence, a considerable amount of taste has been displayed in the way of out- side decoration, the effect of which, however, has been unhappily murred to a great extent to-night by the sudden termination of the frost and the setting in of cold, driving rain. During the past week the decorators have been especially busy in this town putting up illuminations and flags and coioured buntings, with loyal mottoes on most of the principal hags. The railway si par- ticularly v/as almost covered with bright stars, Prince of Wales's plumes, flag-, and banners of ali descriptions, and conspicuous was the hope addressed to Prince Edward in the worus, Smooth success be strewed before your feet." THE ViSITOJtS AT SASDUINGHAM HOCSE. The party of distinguished visitors who have been staying at Sandringham during the past week include most of the members of the royal family, with the exceptinn of her Majesty, tne Duke and Duchess of Connaught, Prince Beatrice, and the Duchess of Albany. Tilc royal T)r. iice;i and dukes have fnr sereral days en- joying exculleni shooting,Tuesday and Wednesday I oemg described as to-day number of numc-rous other engagements prevented any attention being paid to sporting. KtfU 01<' CONGRATULATORY TELEGRAMS. The first active sign of to-day's doings was communicated to the clerks in the little telegraph office, which, for the convenience of the royal household, is placed immediately at the back or the hall. Here, from a very early hour until late in thj day, message after message of congratula- tion and good wishes to parents and son were teiegrapned fmm al1 parts of the country, and indeed it would seem from all parts of the world. It is unuerstood that messages from her Majesty, the Princess Beatrice, theJJucbess of Albany, and the^Crown Princess of Germany were received early 111 the day and, in fact, so numerous were the good wishes flashed by electricity* that the resources of the office, though coiisidera'jjy strengthened, were able to cope with scarcely any- thing beyoim receiving' and despatching the mes- sages to and from Sandringham House. THE CIVIC DEPUTATION". l'or the convenience of those Avl, were to take part iu tiie presentation, it was arran; d that the deputations from, Lynn, Norw.c i, and Cam- bridge should meet al. the Lynn station, anu tlic.ice drive direct to SaiidringiKUii, a distance of iiiiie III.Ics, The morning was biit."iy cold, and tile road in places litue better tnau ice, so that the little procession, consisting of some half-a-dozen carriages, could make but slow progress, and it was, therefore, nearly half- past eleven before tiie first contingent drove througn the Norwich gate, and up to the west wins ot the" hall. Here a large number of the chief officers ushered the visitors into an !(ince- rooui, and all being ready, a move was ma-'3 to the ball-room, which the Prince of Wales has c '.used to bo ereeted within the last year or »■>. THIJ 11AI.L llO.Jif. It is a spacious and lofty hall, bea¡tFIl¡ly pro- portioned and decorated in white and dead gold, the upper parts of the walls being covered with trophies of ancient weapons ana shields, ap. parently selected from many nations. Upon first entering the room, and viewing it from the music balcony erected at the end, it was found that the only occupants were live or six of the tenants who came on behalf of the general body of the tenantry to offer their congratulations, and to make a gift a .salver of silver gilts to the young prince. ARltlVAL OF THE lWYAL rAllTl'. A lew minutes' wait and then the Prince and Princess of Wales were seen advancing, while walking between his illustrious father and mother was Prince Edward, looking extremely manly, bright, and happy. The prince and pfll- cess, too, appeared to be in excellent 1 health and spirits, and bowed graciously to the iiutie band of tenants. The princess was attired in a mauve satin dress, embossed with very aaik coloured flowers quickly following came ti-I Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince and Princess Christian, Prince George of Wales, the young Princesses 'Victoria, Maud, and Louise, the Duke of Cambr d.ge, the Princess Louise (Marcnioncss of Lome), Prince Edward 01 Saxe- Weimer, the Prince of Leiningen, the Count and Countess Gleichen, and the Countess deodore Gieichen.

Among others present were Lieut.-Co1. the Hon. Mr Montagu, Ir C. Sykes, M.P., Capt. "Welsh, U.N., Mr John Baring, and Mr J. K. Hsephens. PRESENTATION OF THE SALVEK. The Prince and Princess of Wales, with tneir eldest child standing between them, took up their I position about midway in theroom, the remainder of the family and guests ranging themselves in a kind of semi-circle at the back. It ,vas now ciose upon noon, and Mr Sheringiiani, as spokesman for the tenants, advanced, and read an address, which trusted Prince Edward might long be spared to follow ill tiie footsteps of his'iieloved parents. oil behalf of the tenants 011 the estate he begged I his Royal Highness to accept of the gift, they tendered in recog-nitwll of that day's celebration. illIN(jL,. Prince EDWARD, in reply, said:—Gentlemen,— I am glad to express to you all collectively this morning my heartfelt thanks for the kind words which Mr Sheringham on your behalf has given utterance to. As you rightly observed *t would be impossible for me to set before myself a brighter example for imitation than that atforaed by rny parents, who for many years have dwelt 111 your midst. If I should be enabled in any way to merit your good opinion in the future, and to do so shall be ever my steadfast purpose, it v>1^ be by following the same path of kindness, good- will, and generosity which tiiey have followed. Accept my best thanks forthe silver salver. It will serve as a memento to me should I ever be in danger of forgetting how strong was the esteem and at- tachment which bind the tenantry of the Sand- ringham estate to the house of my parent*. GIFT OF THE NORWICH COivPORATlON. Upon the conclusion ot the reply, the Prince 01 Wales shook hands with Mr Sheruigham, and the deputation then withdrew, making room tor that deputation then withdrew, making room for that from Norwich, which was headed by the mayor of that city. In addition to two addresses, a magni- ficent piece of plate, being a fac-simiie of the rose ewer and salver, part of the corporation plate, was offered as a birthday gift. Thu first address, as follows, was to the Prince and Princess of Wales :— May it please your Royal Highnesses, we, the mayor, sheriff, aldermen, and citizens of the City of Norwich desire to express our most unfeigned and sincere con- gratulations on the attainment or the majority of your eldest son, H.E.H. Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward. K.G., and we share with the British nation the liveliest interest in the welfare of your royal children, and cannot but assure you of the deep appreciation of the manner in. which they have been trained for their high and exalted position In life. We earnestly pray that your Koyal Highnesses mav long be preserved, and that your royal children may pr rye not only a blessing to you, iitit to all the L'iyal subjects of this great empire.—(rjkned) JOHN Jio'i'IILACII. Mayor; II. ii. MILLER, Town Clerk.— January oih, 1882. REPLY OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. the j. nnce of W ALES, in accepting the address, said Mr Mayor and Gentlemen,—It is with feel- ings of extreme gratification that the Princes, of Wales and I have received your address, congra- tulating us on the attainment of our eldest soil's majority, and it is a subject of sincere pleasure to us to tin-1 that we are able to celebrate the event in our own country, among so many friends and neighbours. We desire to expreS1 our warmest acknowledgments to you for the kind words in which you allude to this happy occa .ioii, and the complimentary terms in which you refer to the manner in which we have brought up our children. I can assure you that it has been our honest wish that they should strive to lollovv in the footsteps of the Queen and the Prince Cousort, and should endeavour to emulate the bright example which has been set by my revered parents, not oniy to princes, but to ail those who seek for domestic contentment and happiness. We ara anxious, gentlemen, to take advantage of the opportunity which is offered us by-the presence of the chi ef magistrate and representatives of the principal towns of Norfolk to express to them our heartfelt thanks to the inhabitants of the county for the unvaried marks of goodwill and neighbourly leeling which we have universally experienced since we first came here 23 years ago. We arc unfortunately unable to spend as much of the year at Sandring- ham as we could wish, but you may rely upon this, that it has always been a source of unmixed pleasure to us to find ourselves once more at our cherished Norfolk home, where we have passed some of the happiest years of our lives. PRINCE EDWARDS'S SECOND SPEECH. I The Town-clerk then explained that the cup and salver were a replica of some corporation plate presented to the mayor in 1653, and bearing the date 1597. He also read a congratulatory address. Prince EDWARD, having accepted the address and gift, said Mr Mayor and Gentlemen, I thank you for the cordial greetings winch you have offered to me this morning. Part of that educa- tion which my parents have bestowed on me, and to which you have just referred, was acquired whilst visiting our fellow-citizens in most of the British colonies. Whatever may be the future of this great empire, I am sure that the Queen has no more loyal subjects than the English heyond theses. Tins handsome fac-simile of iio- your corporation plate I shall always value as a p.easant reminder of the kindly feelings cnerished towards my lather's family by tiie chief city of Norfolk, the county m which the greater part of uiy life has been so happily passed. I ANOTHER DEPUTATION. Tb members of tiie deputation having shaken nands, withdrew, and the gentlemen from Lynn, headed by the mayor (Mr Bowker) and tiie recorder (Mr Douglas Brown), who appeared in wig and gown, took their places. The Recorder read an address, and presented a replica of the -Mayor's Cup," which, according to tradition, was given to the mayor by King John. Prince EDWARD, in replying, accepted the gift, saying Mr Mayor and Gentlemen,—I thank you much for the hearty good wishes which you have expressed, and for the beautiful replica of the mayor's cup of Lynn which you have just pre- sented to me on the attainment of my majority. The historical reminiscences connected witii your ancient borough and its neighbourhood have always since ttie days of my boyhood—which, as you arc aware, have been spent in great measure within sight of your towers—been full of interest to myself. Whatever the future may have in store, you may rest assured that the recrllection of my houi'J at Sandringham, and the expression this day of your kindly feeling y parents and myself, will eve:; reinaea fresh in my memory. memory. GIFT FROM GRAHHAE-SCHOOL DOY". I The Mayor ot Cambridge (Mr iienrern), on behalf of tne corporation, next presented all :111. dress, which was, however, not read, nor did Prince Edward make verbal reply. A pretty birthday present from the masters and boys of Lynn Grammar School was now oliared and accepted. It consisted of a table writing set, comprising an inkstand, Hotting-case, diary, and a pair of candlesticks. The inkstand and candle- sticks were of Worcester china and oak with brass mountings, while the case and diiry were of purple morocco. The Rev. Mr Hignt, head- master or the school, read an address. Prince ill said, I aiii very glad to see you here this morning, and to thank you for your kind congratulations. May the prosperity of Lynn Grammar School ever increase. VILLAGE FESTIVITIES. This completed the ceremony of presentation, and in a jew minutes the ball-room was left tenantless for a brie; period. Meanwhile tiie out- side of the hall had become animated. Two long lines of school children were drawn up to witness the passing by of a procession organised by Mr Sanger, who, to the delighted gaze of tiie young- sters, pre-'ented elephants, camels, prancing steeds, diminutive ponies, and the usual accom- paniments of :t circus spectacle. The too, on tli: i-,i front of the hall prior to being regaled to a sub- stantial dinner provided by their ruyai landlord, while the Prince's keepers, dressed in the pictur- esque costume of green and white, served to give colour to the scene. Time having been given to the ladies to invest themselves in some protection against the biting wind, the w{10le party left the house,and Mr Beck, theagent, addressed afew words of congratulation on behalf of the labourers to his royal highness. Prince Edward acknowledged the kindly feelings which prompted the words, and the assemblage broke' up, those who had formed the deputations returning to the ball-room for lunch. The labourers and poor people on the estate were entertained to dinner in a marquee erected on the prince's exercise ground. In the afternoon most of the members of the royal party V'sited a circus performance given in a great tent which iiad beeti specially erected" for the occasion by Mr Sanger, he having ob- tained the prince's permission to do so. E°r two or three hours this was filled by happy people from all the countvside, who give the l'rinee and Princess of Wales and the young prince, whose birthday it was, a rig-lit royal welcome upon thefr entering soon after two. The party from Sandringham House remained until tut; conclusion of the performance, siiort.y after tour o'ciock, when the audience dispersed, and were^ hurried to their destinations by the ram, which converted the ice-bound road? of the morning into a mac;, of the consistence of glue. ACCf.)E-T AT THE CIRCUS. JJunng-the periornuwice at Sanger's circus on Thursday afternoon, tiie supports or one of the seats gave way. One- person was seriously in- jured, the other; escaping with slight bruises. GRAND BALL. The evening's festivities consisted of a grand ball at Sandringham, to winch some hundreds of the country gentry and others were invited. Ail through the evening the roads leading to Sandringham were crowded with carriages taking their loads of happy people to the ball, and so great was the demand for horses that at night one could not be obtained in the district for love or money. Sandringham Park was illuminated lor the occasion. To-morrow there will be another ball given to the servants, and on Saturday a lawn meet of the Norfolk hounds, at at which there will probably attend sbme four or live hundred iioraom ei. This will conclude the series of festivities consequent upon the coming of age of Prince Edward of Wales. REJOICINGS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. The coming of age of Prince Albert Victor of Wales, was obsei ved at Windsor on Thursday morning by the ringing of peals from the. bells of St. John's Chuich, the Chap 1 Royal, St. George's, Windsor Castle, and the churches in the neighbourhood. The Mayor, the ciluz'clle.,i n tile nei,,hb, Mr J. Oibin Harris, issued a notice calling upon the inhabitants of the Royal borough to flag their houses. This was responded to.^and a vast quantity of bunting was displayed, the Guiidhalibeing com- pletely covered. The Royal Standard was hoisted, and Royal salutes were fired in the long waik facing L'rogniore House, where the young prince was born. In the evening a iancy dress ball took place in the Town-hail, to celebrate the event. The mayor, corporation, and bur- gesses of Windsor forwarded to his Royal High- ness a congratulatory address, which was beauti- fully illuminated. The occasion was celebrated in London by the ringing of peals at various V, est end churches, while flags were hoisted at the Govern- ment otiices, and the band of the ment otiices, and the band of the Grenadier Guards played a selection in the court- yard of St. James's Palace during the ceremony of mounting and changing the Queen's Guards. In celebration ofthe attainment of his majority by Prince Albert Victor, the Royal Standard was hoisted at all Government establishments at Portsmouth, and the ships in the har- bour hoisted masthead flags. A Royal salute was fired at noon from the flagship and the saluting battery, and flags were flying from clubs and all public buildings. y We are authorised to state that the Prince of Wales has no intention of asking for a Parlia- mentary grant for Prince Albert Victor on the attainment of his majority.

ILLNESS OF MR MUNDELLA. I
ILLNESS OF MR MUNDELLA. I Postoonemcnt of His Visit to Cardiff. It will be with feelings of great regret that the public learn that the promised visit of the Right Hon. A. J. Mundelia, M.P., to Cardiff iiexl. week has had to be posponed. This is the more regrettable as the cause is to be found in the indisposition of the right hon. gentleman. On Wednesday he visited Folkestone to open some board schools, and while there lie caught a chill, which induced a somewhat severe bronchial attack. On his return to London, his medical adviser declared that he must lay up, and that he would be unable to make any speeches in public for three or four weeks. A telegraphic communication was im- mediately sent to the Mayor of Cardiff and to Mr Lewis Williams seating the circumstances. The disappointment in Cardiff is very, great, as preparations 011 a considerable scale had been made to signalise Mr Mundella's visit. It has not yet been precisely arranged what steps will be taken as a consequenee of the postponement of the visit, but although the Higher Grade School will be opened for the pupils, and the prizes at the University College distributed, yet 'the details a<i to what will be done have not been arranged. Although the disappointment is keen, it is only temporary, and there is every reason to hope that a return of Mr Mundella's health will be speedily followed by the promised visit. Those who have the cause of education in Wales at heart have looked forward to his coming amongst us w-th the expectation that his presence and counsel would prove a stimulus to the spread of education. The realisation of that visit is only delayed, and it is to be hoped that his com- plete restoration to health may be speedy. So much of his time and so many of his energies are devoted to the cause of education, that his pro- gress towards recovery will be watched by many with tile greatest interest. Those who know and have experienced benefits from what he has done in the past will join with those who are expecting them in the fiiturc in condoling with him upon his present indisposition, and in wishing him a rapid and complete recovery. In South Wales he is sure of an earnest welcome as soon as he is able 11 come among us. The following is a copy of the telegram received in Cardiff on Thursday evening Prom E. S. Bryant, Education Office, Whitehall. ír Mundelia has returned from Folkestone, suffering from chill and bronchial attack. Doctor has ordered him to bed, and says he cannot speak in public for tiiree or lour weeks. Much regrets his visit to South AVaies must be postponed. To the Mayor of Cardiff. A similar telegram to tiie above was also for- warded to Mr Lewis Williams, the chairman to the Cardiff School Board.
-THE CLERICAL SCANDAL AT !…
THE CLERICAL SCANDAL AT PRESTEI6N. i he Charge not Proved. Popular Lnthusiasm at the Resuit.1 On Thursday the Ecclesiastical Commission, with Dr. Tristram, Chancellor of the Diocese < i Hereford, in the chair, resumed their inquiry, for the third day, at Prcsteign, into the charges of drunkenness preferred by the Clerk of the Peace for Radnorshire against his son-in-law, the Rev. I J. Da vies, curate of Presteign. The Rector of the parish (Dean \Vest) was lirst called by the promoter, and being questioned denied that he ever saw Mr Davies the worse for drink, or acting otherwise than as a sober and consistent Christian man, and lie added that the ruv. geutleman was the best curate he ever had. About a dozen witnesses were called for the defence, and ali swore the same thing, several also directly negati ving the testimony of complainant's witnesses alleging specific instances of drunken- uess. The Rev. J. Davies was himself sworn, ant~ denied all the charges in toto. At this stage Mr Stephens' solicitor s ua he did not propose to carry the case any furniiOi, ant. Dr Tristram formally declared tiiat none el the charges were proved, a result which was receive' with, great and both Mr and Mrs Davies were driven in a carriage tiorft the hotei to their lodgings.
THE FLAT HOLMS AS A ! i CHOLERA…
THE FLAT HOLMS AS A CHOLERA DEPOT. I On Thursday, at tiie meeting ot the sanitary committee, Bristol, a discussion took place rela- tive to ^having a cholera hospital on tha Fiat Holm. The secretary to the dockij committee wrote :—" Of the suggested sites it seemed to the committee that the Flat Holm would pro- bably be found to be most convenient for the purposes of this port, especially as the expenses thereof might probably be shared by the Cardiff port authority, who have already established a cholera depot in the vicinity." The engineer of the docks committee wrote saying The Cardiff authorities have, I believe, some sort of accommodation of the required character at the Fiat Holm. It might, therefore, be well to make some inquiries as to the arrangements under which the present hos- pital was established and is maintained, and as to whether or not there is any possibility of an amalgamation for the purpose intended between Bristol and Cardiff. Dr. Blaxali (port inspector under the Local Government Board) had an interview with the sanitary committee, and he said that the Flat Holm was 15 miles from Avonmouth, and would be inconvenient for Bristol. The committee decided to inform the docks committee of the opinion of Dr. Blaxall, and stated that Avonmouth would be a better site for a cholera hospital, and await their reply.
