IALARMING SPREAD OF SMALL-POX…
ALARMING SPREAD OF SMALL-POX IN ENGLAND. OUTBREAK AT CARDIFF. vn r noay It was deemed necemary by Dr. Paine, medical officer of health for the borough of Cardiff, to take special measures in reference to two cases of small. pox which were reported to have occurred in Roath. A middle-aged woman, named Anne Thomas, was recently visited, at Ko. 41, Helen- street, by a seaman who was, it seems, suffering from smoll-pox. Tha woman caught tlio infection, and communicated it to a young girl of twelve yuors, named L. Short, who also resided in the house. Dr. Paino learnt of the two cases in the course of his professional duties, and on Friday Sanitary Inspector Lcyshon, acting under his orders, removed Thomas, who had just gone to fresh lodgings at 31, Diamond-street, to tho fever sheds, near the Hamadryad Hospital. The girl remains at the residence of her parents, but the bouse is put under ttthet sanitary regulations, only certain persons being allowed to approach it and the inmates not being allowed to leave. The most serious aspect of the matter is that theeesman referred to, who is not known, is still about. A fearful outbreak of small-pox has occurred at Hull. An Italian ieam seller, his wife, and family were attacked with tliediseaw. The adults followed their ordinary callings, the woman going from door to door selling ornament3, &nd the children going to a Cstholic school; the result Is that more than 30 cases of small-pox are traceable to this family. Other cases are hourly being dis- covered. In consequence of the continued increase of the epidemic in London the authorities, with the ap- proval of the Local Government Board, have pur- chued, at a cost of about t3.000, the river steamer Albert Victor to use as an auxiliary to the hospital ships now stationed in the River Thames.

ENGLISEI CONINIERCF, Mr. TOMUXSUN "ave nutiee that he will take an early opportunity of calling attention to the correspondence respecting the Commercial Con- vention between Spain and the United States in reference to the trade of the West Indies, and move that, in view of tha increasing difficulties thrown in the way of liritiali trade by foreign countries by means of bounties and differential duties, it is incumbent upon her Majesty's Govern. ment to endeavour to secure the most-favoured- nation treatment in connection with the whole commercial relations of the iiritish Empire. SLAVEKY IN MOKOCCO. Lord I'ITZACHICE, iu reply to Dr. Camerc,n (L., Glasyo\c), confirmed tho statement that the French Government had decreed that all natives under French protection in orocco shaH liberate their slaves, and Sir J. Hay had been directed to give similar notice to those under British prowc. tiOD. ller Majesty's Government were quite willing to co-operate with the French or other Governments for discouraging slavery in Morocco. THE CREW OF THE NISERO. Lord rlTZMAURICE, in reply to Mr. Storey (L., I",dl!flc",d" said no new. had been received from the Pegasus, sent with provisions for the destitute crew of the Nisero. He regretted that the Dutch Government had refused the offer of mediation between them and the Acheenese which was made by her Majesty's Government. Her Majesty's Government, however, had not yet abandoned the hope of inducing the Dutch Govern- ment to concur in measures for the pacification of the countrv. They were also considering the possibility of sending a mission to Kernala, the residence of the Sultan of Acheen, with a view to opening négùtiali0n for the liberation of the captives through him, The Governor of the Straits Settlements was now in England, and in communication with the Foreign Office.

Lord Hr £ MAI RICE could not answer as to the distance, but, being well aware of tha painful anxiety 011 the subject, no atIort would be spared to obtain information. Mr, STOREY, inconsequence of a succession of unsatisfactory answers from the noble lord, will, on Monday, ask the Prime Minister if he is aware that twenty British subjects have been in captivity for six months, destitute, nnd wanting food, and, from climatic consideratioFlg (Jaullhter) in jeopardy of their lives; whether he is aware that the families of these men are now soliciting public charity and is it not time to detach some portion of the force lately employed to relieve Egyptian marauders and convicts at Tokar for the release of these Uritish subjects. TIlE ¡;UA"CmgE BILL. At 25 minutes to three o'clock the Homo re- sumed th consideration of the Representation of the People Bill in Committee. When progress was reported on the 6th in"t, th,) Committee was en- gaged in discussing a proposal by Mr. Stanley Leighton to amend the second clause, 80 as to extend the uniformity of household and lodger in pounties and boroughs to the freehold franchise, Mr. GOKST (0., Chatham j now spoke in favour of!fl8 amendment, arguing that to give non-resi- dent freeholders votes in boroughs would remove aD existing anom tly. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the old Conservative principle WoI to be very tolerant DC anomalies if only they were useful in their operation. To avoid the ereatiou of obstacles to the passing of the Bill the Government felt it to be their duty to resist all alterations in the proposed basisI tho fran- ?t,ibut the amendment under discussion was e?pt'eiaHy objectionable as a d!<frauchi<inj? inno- vation which would enable ?ot-, to be obtained in any nu-nber by ,?rV small ,utl?y of money. Mr. LABulCHEKK (7., .Yo?/Mm?o?) ?ted to know from Sir Stafford ?forthcote.whnm be ,till recognised as tho leader of the Opposition, whether there was My foundation for the statement in the S!01' ",0 d tiiat certain prominent members of the Conservative party had met together and entered Into a species of conspiracy to throw out the Kill whtn it got into another place. If that were so he could not see what object gentlemen opposite could have in proposing and discussing amend- ments. After further discussion, the amendment was negatived without a division. -Mr. HHODRICK (C., Nnrrty, If.) proposed the exclu.ion of Ireland from the clause. Under the le?L of blishing "umity between the three countDes, the Government were preparing t? 0'. ? Mn in..qu?Uty so v?t M to amount to a t !r.tjqjiqt)fliit" 'pa of (,ttï\,)t' land, for the st?te of thi.?s which the HiU would create would give a deciding voice to Ireland in every d??ion in the H)ue ,f Commons Mr. TKEVKLY AN had thought that the question had been disposed of in the debate on goillg into Committee; but, as there seemed to be an in ten. tion to take" division on tiie question upon tie- present motion, he desired to "tllto briefly why Iho liovornment could not accept the amendment. The extension of the household franchise to counties in England and Scotland had l>eD so long dclaved that it ought not to lie put off till the on. member ?tnd those who a?tecd with him had come to the conclusion that it -?,.fe to pply ti,?) same i 7.i:,c;Dtotl;lai'lds to I\tet't¿Í1x. Ireland from the I:ill extending the franchise in England and Scotland woujJ be nothing short of political madness. Mr, C, K LEWIS (C" Znn?t)?r,-</) considered that it wou)d ba nothing short of madness to ?n,l.d? the va 't masses in Ireland, who, bv the Hill las It etood, would be admitted to the f?nch?o. When the propoMI of the Government was put for- I ward as a measure of jutice to Ireland it wa well to remember that the ?12 occupation in ?)e ftanchide was given to Ireland long before it was given to England. The educated classes in Ireland would be entirely swamped if the Bill passed in its present form, and he held that the Lords would he justified on that ground alone in rejecting the Bill unless the views of the Government in regard to redistribution were made known. Dr. LYONS Duhlin) w»b convinced that it would be most dangerous for any Ministry to pro- pose an extension of the franchise from the btnetit of which Ireland was excluded. Mr. PLUNKKT was prepared to support the a";d;;t¿rj¡:pte<lecd wrCr.Iti :í l?i,.k had be,. sufficiently c. ?i-,?-d bv the I ;:r:neenThu,i:rYinrefeduJr t! rental in counties exceeded in number those of all other classes put together, and the new voters would be taken from a class more than 40 per cent, oC whom could neither read nor write. The effect of passing such a measure would be greatly to increase the s'rength of the party of separation. 11, would not condescend to mllke an appeal on behalf )f the loyal classes, to whom gross in j us- iI;!IIhb.le )'t' ri;;ttmh: eidj; | Government that they were doing a great wrong and injury to the kingdom. It was not long since some of the leaders of the Liberal party could not bring themselves to accept su,l? a proposal as that now under discu?irin and ?ho assumed that, th.y mu"t have vieide'd to p.rtv i?,s ci the "ituannn. At .11 events the House waf entitled to iiear the groundsof ti,?ll ¡; of ;:iilt on a e_fgfuhf whetmjng importance. If the Bill "hon)d, m he apprehend 'd, lead on to and precipitate tho sepa- ration of the three kingdoms, those who promoted it would undertake a very grave responsibility Indeed, und when th'1 future hiswri??n gazed upon :e'it\)It: tt'rr:Ð and, r:oI1::i(;Pf J former fame, pondered upon the way in which it was built up and passed away, he hoped he would not have to say that the union 011 which the glorv of the Empire rested yielded at hist under the pressure of party interests of statesmen. (Cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE was satisfied that when the future historian traced the greatness of the Empire he would have to state that in that history there was one chapter of disgrace, and that was the treatment of Ireland, It had not been shown that there was danger in this [ex'sLttian to any portion of the people of Ireland. The right hon. "ent?- man had indulged in prophecy, which he had been able to raise to a high pitch of eloquence, but similar predictions had been put forward before, and had all been falsified, The position of Great Britain at that moment was certainly not weaker in the case of Ireland than it was before the period ot conciliation begau, and he hoped the people of Enttaad <md SooUMd htd more conMenoe in their strength than to be discouraged by prophccies whkh for the last 50 yers h:! never been wanting when it was proposed to do some act of justice to Ireland. There was only one way to make England weak in the face of Ireland, and that was to apbly to hei government principl6a of inequality aE\lt1'nj?eOvrlI:Jt :Phv undcr tho Bill, undoubtedly an increase of power, and he trusted It would be used well; but 09 long as injustice was done to her it would not be pos- sible to touch or move in any respect the interest of the Empire. The pain which the right hon. gentleman had oxperiencad and the fear which the right hon. gentleman had expressed were un- worthy of his reputution, and would certainly not iurlurnce tho Hou^ii of Commons to rofuse a boon which equity demanded and which was necessary for the Safety and glory of the Empire. (Cheers.) si, s. NOHTUCOTE wished tho House to consider that it was proposed t j increase enormously the doctorate of the United Kingdom, and that a groat deal would be dune towards breaking up the moral union uf the Empire if England and Scotland were set against Ireland. They did not waut the solid vote of Ireland to be overborne by the solid vote of the rest of tho kingdom. Until the completion of the scheme before the House it was the duty of the Opposition to resist iU application everywhere, but especially with tho weakest part of tiie system. Mr. J. LOW i HEU was addressing the Committee in support of the amendment when the hour arrived for reporting progress. THE CORNWALL SUNDAY CLOSING BILL. I he order for the second reading of the Sunday ■ Closing (Cornwall) Bill was discharged, and the Bill withdrawn. THE SOUDAN. Lord E. Fl,rz.Niaut(ICE, answering Sir W. Lawson, said a telegram bad been received that afternooo,to the effect that a party of refugeee arrived yesterday at Assouan from Berber and Korosko, who stated that the road between those places was quiet, and that they had no trouble. They said that Gordon had made successful sorties, and was well. The sitting was then suspended. EVENING SITTING. I The sitting was rajumed at nine o'clock, and On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. LYNCH moved, as an amendment, for a Sclect Committee to Inquire into tiie facte con- nected with tho conviction of the Crossmaglen prisoners and the subsequent release of Bernard Smith. After a protracted discussion, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND sub- mitted that nothing would be more dangerous to the administration of justice than that, after the conviction and se,?t.ne of prisu.ers the case for their iâit:n;IC\'bi 'iui:bli= f of Commons a year and a half afterwards upon the st"tUlents of int,ire?iwd persons.

The subject the. dropped. Mr. SYKES brought in a Bill to amend the Fisheries (Oysters, Crabs, and Lobsters) Act, 1879. The House adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock.

THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND I THE FRANCHISE BILL. The Slam/aid understand that, as a result of deliberations recently held by the leaders of the Opposition with their principal followers in both Houses, it has been decided that, should tho Franchise Bill reach the Upper Hftuse, a resolution will be proposed on the second reading which, if carried, wiU be tanta- mount to its rejection. In taking thisoourse, those who propose the resolution will make It apparent that the Conservative party are not opposed to an extension of the Franchise, but to the piecemeal and partisan manner in wbicb the question is being dealt with by the Government, it can hardly be doubted that the resolution will be carried and it ia hoped and expected that the Government will thus be afforded an opportunity of dissolving the House of Commons and holding a general election before the harvest.
THE MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL.
THE MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. The "Press Association" states that on Friday evening the shipowners and underwriters, who have had a series of four confereuoee with Mr. Chamberlain on the Merchant Shipping Bill, reported the result of their deliberations to a meeting in the Conference Room at Westminster of about twenty members of Parliament representing ports interestod in shipping. Mr. C. M. Palmer, M.P., presided, and from the hon. member's obser- vations and the terms of the report presented it appears that the clauses in regard to registration and compulsory pilotage are withdrawn that the question of seaworthiness shall only apply to vessels leaving the United Kingdom: that modifications are introduced with regard to open values in In- "c, that the insurance of freights is to be :)(; \II:P'C;:f o ;¡'rII prosecu- tion, and in the event alsoePf over-insurance being proved, the shipowners would bo liable to fines to the amount of half the value of tho ovjr-insuranct*; that the Employers' Liability Act is only to be partially applied, shipowners being held to bo responsible simply for direct personal neglect, and not for acts of certificated officers. Mr. Palmer ,,Id the presumption was that the Board of Trade in corti heating officers assumed the responsibility for thir competency. In the course of conversation, full .?k..wi.dg.t ?u mado of Mr. Chamberlain's disposition to consult the various sectioM of the community intere.ted In the Bill. The feeling oxpre?od w.m generally in f"vour of the compromise arrived at; but it was explained that the terms now mutually i g::t:Jeolh:rt the nature of an :Ir. It was stated that Mr. Chamberlain had undertaken moving tho second reading of the Bill on Monday, and to move at (ho samo time that it be formalf; committed and re-printed with the alterations now proposed. The Bill, in its amended form, will be in the hands of members on ?Ved.?,- day or Thursday, anu will, therefore, be ,,il,,blo for consideration during the rece.. WheD the committAl oF the measure is moved Mr. Palmer will have a statement to make on behalf of the shipowners, but the motion will not b3 opposed by them on the under- tanding that the measure in its amended form will be fully open for discussion before being referred to Committee The .hiP. owners do not vet undertake to abstain from moving that the Bill be referred to a Selwt'Com- inittee, bur at present their m?re general d¡p0i. tion is to agree to its reference to Uis Grand Com- mittee.

TH E BARRY DOCK BILL. I
TH E BARRY DOCK BILL. I THE CASE FOR THE PROMOTERS. THIRTEENTH DAY, BY OUR OALtBBT COB&MPONB1KT.1 WESTMINSTER, Friday. The Barry Dock inquiry, which this morning reached its thirteenth day before Mr. Foljambe's Committee in the House of Commons, shows signs of making more rapid progress than has hitherto been the case. On the re-assembling to-day of those concerned in tho proceedings it was evident that some announcement was about to be rnado on behalf of the promoters. Mr. I'.mber, their leading counsel, ivas prownt-by no means a usual circumstance, for, with the exception of an odd half-hour here and there, he lias left thecanduct of theemeto his discreet and able aide-de-camp, Mr. Jeune. When the Committee had taken their places Mr. Pember proceeded at once to make an announcement composed in equal proportions of blsrney and welcome fact. First, he fore- shadowed a curtailment of the evidence, which the Committee appeared to relish very much. Paying a passing compliment, with a sort of apology for his presumption in so doing, to their o exemp- lary patience," he put the matter In this way. ine committee had been deluged with evidence on what lie styled the essence of the case," which he bad felt obliged to submit in the fullest possible manner. Now, how. ever, he was coming to fi class of witnesses who would testify to matters which, though of unquestionable importance, would bo yet sub- ordinate to "the great main Issues." It was of course possible, the learned counsel hinted, that the cross-examination of some of these witnesses might lead to points which it would be necessary to explain, perhaps at length, but he was sanguine that be would be able to curtail testimony under such beads as pilots, nautical experts, and those who were able to speak as to the peculiarities and capabilities of Barry Bar- bour. The tact of Mr. Pember was strik- ingly shown when he spoke about the pilots, whom he proposed to tender fcr examination. He did not, he said, wish to elicit any expression from the Committee; but, without pledging him- self to any statement of the strength of his battalion of pilots, he left It to be inferred that he had a host of these gentlemen in the background seedy and willing to testify to the defects of Cardiff and the manifold charms of Barry. Upon hearing this rose-coloured view of the situation, the Chair. man naturally wanted to know if Mr. Pember could give any idea &3 to how long tiie promoters' case was likely to last, and the learned gentleman answered with chrful alacrity that, "with the help of his learned friondll-a graceful and well-deserved tribute to Mr. Jeune's zeal-he hoped to bring it to a close by the end of next week. Assu- ming this calculation to be realised, the promoters will have taken eighteen days, or more than three and a half working weeks, to lay their case before the Committee. As the House risos for a short vacation on Tuesday week, there is obviously no chance of the opponents' case being gone into before Whitsuntide. Everything, there- fore, points to the conclusion that the last week in June will be reached before the final decision of the Committee upon the merits of the Bill is known, always assuming, of course, and there is not much doubt on the sub- ject, that the battle will be fought out to the bitter end. Before the evidence was pro- ceeded with Mr. Foljambe let fall a mild joke, to the effect that they had heard a good deal about despatch in the course of the inquiry, and he now hoped they would see a little of it. As in duty bound the assembled company greeted this amateur effort with an encouraging giggle. After Mr. Thomas Miller, a gentleman representing a north country steamship in- surance company, had given evidence intended to show that Cardiff occupied, in Mr. Pember's phraseology," a bad eminence" among British ports in the matter of collisions and groundings, and that for this reason shipowners would not send their vessels to that port, the pilotage branch of evidence was entered upon. First came Mr. Hopkin Williams, a first-class Channel pilot, who testified to some of the inconveniences which he-alleged against Cardiff Docks and their approach, as well as the suitability of Barry Island for the purpose to which Mr. David Davies and his friends propose to dedicate it. In cross-examination sir Shirley questioned him closely respecting the feeling of the bulk of the Cardiff pilots on the question, and Mr. Hopkins frankly admitted that it would not surprise him to learn that 92 pilots had signed a memorial against the Bill. Two other pilots of tho same way of thinking as himself were also examined and then Captain Moriarty, one of last year's witnesses, gave some highly technical evidence on tho subject of currents. The next meeting or the Cowmittee will be on Monday. [FROU odb OWN bbpohtkbs. | The Barry Dock and Railways Bill again came before II Select Committee of the House of Commons on Friday, composed of Mr. Foljambe (chair. man), Mr. H. S. Northcote, C.B., Mr. Macartney, and Mr. Stafford Howard. This was the thirteenth day of the inquiry. The following &re the counsel engaged :— For the promoters: Mr. Pember, H-C, Mr. Jeune, and Mr. Balfour Brown. For the owners of trading vessels and tug boats, pilots, &c, of the Bristol Channel: Mr. Ü, 1". Clarke. For the Marquess of Bute: Mr. Bidder, Q.C., Mr. Micliael, Q.C., and Mr. O'Hara. For Mr. Tudor Crawsbay; Mr. B. Francis Williams. For the Taff Vale Railway Company: Mr. Pope, Q.C, Mr. Littler, Q.C., and Mr. Saunders, Q.C. For the Khondda Junctioc Welsh Coal Company and the Lewis Merthyr Navigation Colliery Com- pany: Mr. Sutton. The following public bodies have also presented petitions against Uic Bill, but are not at present :08øeile; the C:;ie: The Uroat ?,ostai-n Railway Ccmpaav, the Rhymnev Railway Company, the Pontypridd, Caerphilly, and Newport Railway Company, and the Newport Docks and Railway Company. On the Committee re-assembling at twelve t'ciock, Mr. Pomber, for the promoters, Mid that the case had given him soma little anxiety, not only on account of those whom he represented, but also for the sake of the Committee. It was taking a great deal of time, Rnd-if he might say "()-tllt) Committee liad listened to it with exemplary patience; and he was now able to announce that practically they had got to the end of the bvidence which was of that class to be considered as the essence of the caM. They had felt it their duty to put that evidence Deiore tne committee in the fullest possible manner, but now they were coming to a chm of wttnesMs dealing V:ir.r :'(¡:rcI:'o: not unimportant, were.aftera)).,ubordinatematMM to tha great and hnportant main issues. Without claiming, as people were sometimes apt to do, that where they called one or two witnesses they m)eht I h: a shoal, they might venture te:a that it was their Intention (Unlma anything happened in cross-examination to prevent them fromcarrying It out) to cut the remaining classes of evidence rather short. It was possible that they might run a lit'le risk by taking that course, but this they could not help. He did not wish to elicit any ex- preMlon of opinion from the CommittOO, but he merely indicated the course the promoters meant to ta and, if any mrnark were made by the oM)or side that they had only called a few wit- neM_for inpt?tnm. a very few pilots, persons to speak as to Barry Harbour, persons representing tc timber trade, cautiod experts, and so on—their reply would be that these were matters of d6tail upon which, by calling one r two .? .t,,ene,4 they had dihl :f"one Of :'re' the ;e!r aide croM-e?mined at very great length and raised points which the promoters thought of impor- tance, it could not be helped; but tliev would be as short as they possibly could without damafine their case. The Chairman asked if Mr. Pember could give any idea how long the promoters' case was likely to last. Air. Pember: I should think it would be possible to conclude our case by the end of next week. The Chairman: We have heard a great deal about "despatch" in these proceedings, and I only hope we will see a little of it. (Laughter.) P.XAKINATION Or JIB. TBOIUS MILLMR, Mr. Thomas Miller, secretary to the North of England St?mehip Aeweiation, examine4 by Mr. Pember, said that the capital of the company WM 21 willios. Their b =as ?.& in the main, the I.Su'Caof steamships from marina risk., At the present ti they had about lÔÓi:e:); of large siu-inlured on the books. Be was also secretary to the North of England Protection Society. A great many of the va?iel. Insured frequented the port of Cardiff. He pro. duced a list of c4wualties relating to Cardiff extending over a period from November 29th, 1881, to February, ,,g. In then cases the 10? involved were serious. The case of the LÎloosa was a collision, damage £848; the Potar (collision), £513; the Ommrft (collision with the steamship Tredegar in Penarth Roads), £ 622; the St Andrew's Bay (grounded on the 9th of November, 1881), 1£300; the Boyne (wllision), 43,080; the Morino (ooUiaion with the Dahlia in Penarth RxdR), more {than 91,200; the Firdene (Jan. 12,1884, collision tn the gutway with the CroWneon), damage very considerable, but the claim not yet put in. Do you consider that this number of claims is lula for a place like Cmdiff I a proportion to the shipping done ?-It II very large. To what do you attribute its rehtive magnitude? -The narrow approach. Has Cardiff got anything like what we would call a bad emineum among docks P-Well, there :1: 8== :Ve = ?Mtth there )f they can avoid IL And you my that the c-u.Ities are greater 1. rpo= than otbw porta that you know of ?- They Me: that h my MportMce. What should you say now of the advantagg to the shipping trade generally that new docks should be given to C?rditt without Uiis bad approach and to get rid of the crowd ?-1 think additional accommodation would be a very great advantage. Have you any means of saying whether that is the general feeling in the shipownlng trade?—It is a very general feeling in the North, CROSS-EXAMINATION. Cross-examined by bir. Sutton: Can you point out in this list any instance where there was not negligence on one side or the other f—Well, I don't know. Very few of these cases have been before any trlbuDal i-Very few indeed. If collisions were solely attributable to the narrowness of the water-way accidents would be Inevitable, would they not ? The Chairman: If the were "inevitable" every ship that went up :orlict; (Laughter.) very Mr. Sutton: I take it, as the witness says, that a great proportion of these cases are collision cases, RDd that ? regards a large percentage of these -t''gence was either proved or admitted to the A7mimltv. (To witnem): You have spoken about shipowners not liking Cardiff. Do the underwriters charge an extra premium for going to ?'' '?!'— They do not. So, as far as the underwriting profmion is con- cerned, the ri9k is not consic ered greater in going to C.?diff?-It '(idere greater, but I am not aware that Ih?, charge anything more. All I say is that the number of collisions and ground- ings at Cardiff exceeds that of any other port. The Tyne is not altogether free from these mia- haps ?- am not aware of any place that is. CroM-ex?mined by Mr. Shirley: Wha? do you m:;XI;f'l ll1\hYO:f t tle Cardiff, and near Cardiff. I want to know the extent of the area you com- prise in this tble ?-The wbols of Cardiff, as far as I know. Do you mean the Customs port of Cardiff ?-I sup S. S.. ?ou know that goes down to Nell's POID ?-I don't. \Wi;it. materials have you had before you from which you have compiled this statement ?—Ex- tracts from dooutneots. Take casualties happening at Barry?—That would not be Cardif. Titke the case of Sully. Would you include that ? —No. ?14 I t^ko it that your tblo embraces the C8:1tg nkhnic!r Cardiff and :ar\ what is popularly known as the Penarth Roads, and insido the docks at both places?—Yes. Did you compile the tables which you put in last year on the same principles ?—Yes. Have you any record of tho number of vessels which traded to Cardiff last year as compared with those of the previous year?—I have not. Do you know that the trade of Cardiff was last year considerably in excess of what it was In the preceding year?—I am not at all surprised to hear it and have no doubt it is. Have you tak,?n the trouble to compare the PII:;IJ oruta;¡tleatoouew topml&re with the paper of casualties you put In last year ?-f have forgotten the number I put forward last year, but they extended over a period of two or three years; but the paper I now put in has to deal with only one yeaf, But this paper you have put before us includes more than one year?—But this table comprises those casualties which have come before us in one year, not the date of the actual casualties. The return of last year included thow cases which had come before us in two or three preceding years. What I want to gft at is this: if your table this year is formed on the same lines as your table of last year, embraces the same area and extends over the same time, then I want to ask you to give the Committee some evidence with reference to the number of cases on each?—The table of last year embraces casualties which came before us in the preceding two and a half or three years. The table which is now before the Committee embraces casualties which came before us during the period of one year. The greater part of the CMM in this table )?p- pened in the latter part of the year 1881 or in the :8B2t:tt\ee:rf8 0hu1ee as to when they come before vou ?-No. Then it is no use having any comparisons be- tween the two dates ?-Except the number is greater during one year than it wa* for Zjt or three years, That its just what it is not. The number last year w-M 128, The number on the table you pro- juCed last year wa< 138. What I wanted to get io Committee waa :19 IOf:lt:: which liappened in the different periods ?-This table does not give that information. In all these cases of wreck the Receiverof Wrecks of the port makes an inquiry ?-In very few cases. However, he does in some cases ?—Yes. And he certifies what in his opinion is the cause of casualty ?—No, I don't think he does that. Now, look at this official document issued by the Customs of the port of Cardiff—— Mr. Pember: But this Is not tlie opinion of the Receiver of Wrecks, but his report to the Board of Trade of the opinion of the deponent, that is, the captain of the ship. I hope the Committee see the difference ? The Chairman Oh, yes, I think we understand that. Mr. Pember Of course, they put the blame on the other side. Cross-examination resumed: Do you know that the court before whom this question of negligence was heard was of opinion that the casualty was caused by the colliding steamship suddenly alter. ing her course to starboard, and that it might have been avoided if she had kept on her course ?—Yes, 1 have heard tliat. I think you said you regarded the number of claims arising from casualties In the port of Cardiff, which came under your personal cogni- sance, as very large, compared with the extent of trade done there?—I said that the number of casualties is greaterlthan it was; I am speaking only of what comes before me. What ports do your ves*sels chipflv frequent?— Well, all ports-tho Clyde, West Hartlepool, Liver- pool, and London, and so on. Will you compare the number of ships coming into Cardiff with the number going into the port of Leith which is the greater ?-Oh. Cardiff, decidedly. About three to one ?—Yes, I should say so. I have before me a Board of Trade return-the last publifihed-giving the number of casualties to the shipping which occurred in rivers and harbours of the ruited Kingdom during 1881 and 1882. I find that the total number of these casualties nt Cardiff and Penarth was 26, and at Leith 25, dis- tinguishing total losses from partialloes ?—Yes, but there is no river at Cardiff, and you are reckoning the rivers and harbours together. M' pr?.in, li?e question, when Mr. Pember stated that they had written to the Board of Trade for an explanation of their return for the port of Cardiff. In reply they were tolfl by the department, in the letter produced, that, with regard to the casualties at Cardiff, those which occurred on the Cefn-y-Wrach shoal, on Cardiff Flats and Mud, and in the channels, drains, and gutways which intercepted them, wero not in- eluded. Mr. Shirley contended that that did not displace his argument, because the rules of the Board of Trade, In preparing their returns, would apply to all places equally, and the conditions at Cardiff and Leith might he precisely similar. He went on to ask the witness whether he knew that the casualties in the River Avon were 40, as against the 26 at Cardiff and Penarth, which be was repre- senting as the more dangerous. Witness replied that the Avon was a long river, and that three or four ports were included in the figure quoted. Mr. Michael then took up the cross-examination. Havo you looked at the chart which is appended to the abstract of sea casualties ?-No, I have not. Well, you will see that there are very few wrecks marked to Cardiff compared with other ports. Mr. Pember The.e casualties on the chart refen only to those which have been attended with loss of it". We don't claim tjiat there has been lom of life, but that there has been loss of money. BB-KX AM {NATION. When they asked you to compare Cardiff with the Liffey thev wanted to compare casualties In a mere dock with tho casualties all up a river navi- gation '—That is so. With regard to there being no extra rates to Cardiff, I think there is an immsnse competition in underwriting, as well as in other professions ?- Yes. You fight each other pretty closely ?—Ours is a mutual underwriters' association. If you were to charge somewhat more to Cardiff there would sure to be someone who would charge the same as to other parts ?—Perhaps that would be the case. Mr. Pember (to the Committee), I am going to exercise my first piece of indiscretion. This witness has told you all he knows, and I shall not call any more evidence of that sort, although I have others. KYIUBNCR OF MH. HOPIUN Vir.T.IilfC Mr. Uopkin Williams, examined by Mr. Pember, Q.C. I am a first-class Channel pilot, and have acted as such at Cardiff for the last thirteen years. I hold a master's certificate of competency, and before being a pilot I had been at sea for about nineteen years. I have commanded sailing vessels, and have been mate of several steamers, and master of the steamship lone. I know Barry Island and the neighbourhood, and have seen, and undsr- stand, the plans of the proposed dock. I think it is a splendid site for a dock. The approach from the sea is very good, and the dangers of naviga- tion will be reduced by the formation of the dock. No valuable anchorage ground will be tAken away, and no harbour of refuge will be destroyed in any way. The shelter for Cilot bal.. ?il? be as good then as It is now prc? ,b!\bly better. In addition, there will be some good anchorage found and shelter from all winds ?l,ind the mb.?k.t. As to the on.h.rge at the western end, I don't think there is any fear of ite silting up. A culvert will be provided, which will scour this ground. The lighting of the proposed dock will inertum the vliue of the place aA & harbour of refuge. There is only a al'bour of refuge at Barry at certain states of the tide. The entrance channel to Barry Harbour will go right out into deep water, That will be very much better than at Cardiff Dock, where we have to pay over theCafn-y-Wr?hand uptiie mud- cut. I like tiie Barry Dock as proposed much better than the Cardiff Dock. There will be no neaping of any ships at tbe Bariy Dock, whereas lArge ships have to be nmpe occasionally at Cardiff. The anchorage ground between 13?y Island and Sully Island is very good, and In used to a great extent by hips having a large draught of water. The anchorage there is the best anchorage in tlie Channel for big ships. The anchorage in the Penarth Roads is very good, but we get so crowded there that we have no f," an when ?.els drive-th&t ia when thy dmg their -?h.. in rough wftther-there is great danger of oollision. The risk of collision will be low in entering Barry than in entering Cardiff. Tbe vessels have to enter and leave Cardiff Docks almost "L the same time, and, in fact, almost all our work has to be do in a very short time. That crowds the t:e:e eh&id J:a;u:a; and this makes coions very probable. If the gutway were rm ?a twice as vnl no doubt tb?st ;:r :o,:s:e';i: aabu th:o eD tb& the docks -re very ciose together, and we ""Itoo pM< by the Ra?th Bad to get to the entnmee to the and West Docks. r, .10 p m entmnoe to f: :W:tSO:kø 'Q)bei=b to widen the t ey up at tb< top. All the pUote ""t:W up as qui" as pouible, md get the masters to go ashore to stem tiie vessels for the dock. That eagerness has led to collisions, but I have never been in collision. I know several cases of vessels which have been beneaped. The Adam, for instance, was delayed in the Roath Basin for two or three days; she drew 22ft, 9in. Another ship was beneaped in Penarth for four or five days, and she drew 23ft. The Persia was beneaped twice-once in Penarth Dock and once in the Roath Pasin and in piloting the Helen Sand I was beneaped for twelve fidee. I know the chanael which has been dredged through the Cefn-y-Wrach. There is a silting up there. When there is any storm water it fetches down a certain amount of deposit from the River Ely and River Taff. I won't sy it is constantly dredged, but It can only be kept clear g;edgi:t ,te Lady o¡redn It ast?re on the west side of the gutway once, about 130 yards from the pier, and broke her back, and became a total wreck. Other vessels have got agivuad there, too. I have on many occasions pIloted vessels in nl out of th" Roath Basin, .d I kuow they never make a level between the water in the basin and the sea outside when the water is above 29ft. During a considerable number of tides tho vessels have to be locked through, and that takes from 25 to 30 minutes. I want four feet of water underneaui a vessel before I take her out of the Roath Basin. I would not take a vessel out in three feet in daylight, and if tho place wero tolerably clear. But if I took her out with less than four feet and had to go out of the centre of the channcl my ship would get aground. Any ship coming up tl,e phulDel would have as much right to tho centre as I have, and unleos we have 4ft. of water under the ship we cannot be certain of having enough water when we have to turn to one side. In the Per.arrh Dock I want 6ft. because of the mud banks on the south side. Last year I had a notice of a meeting of pilots to oppose this 6Chern, but this vear I had no such notice. If such a meeting had been held I should have had notice of it. Terms were arranged last year between the promoters and the pilots,and these terms, I think, were all that pilots could reasonably expect. I was told one day this year that lahould be a fool if I did not oppose this Bill. So I put on my hilt and went to Mr. Downing and asked him if there was anything in the Bill which was detrimental w tho pilots; because if so, us a pilot, I would oppose the Bill lIe said" No," and, as Mr. Thompson came in at tliat moment, they read tlie clauses over to roe. Cross-examined by Mr. Vaughan Richards, wit- ness said lie had been a pilot for thirteen years. He was a first-class Channel pilot, the port pilot being an early grade. 1'1"'l'e waa an Association of Pilots, of which Mr, David Davis was secretarv, but he did not know anything about 8 meeting called by that gentleman, nor had he ever received notice of any such meeting. He believed there =bout l nl O pilo t s t Cardiff, but ho did not know exactly. I rather think they number 112. Do you know how many pilots signed the petition against this Bill?—No. Would you be surprised to lietir there were 92 ? -Well, I should not be surprised to hear that. Cross-examined by Mr' Sh' rl 't d. ou RlIratXt:;rrcl' C?i-diW D: ¡ or bQd ?-Th approach to Cardiff Docks i, very well, provided that the business and the traffic is not so much. The traffic is so great that it makes the approach to the pir.? difficult. I say that the ap- proach to Barry is better thn to Cardiff, though f perfectly agree that C??d',d is tip top, first- class place. There is a great deal of work to be done there, and it has to to done very uickly. I don't know whether Mr. Wamsaid yesterday that the entrance W Barry is more exposed than to the Bute Docks. There are times nnd conditions of wind and tide 'when a vessel would prefer the eastern to the western end of BArry, and it is true that such a state of things ma y occasionally happen, though I don't :8It nJs h"lllt :.f:t'erII\} Iv:f drawing seven feet of water would require, on spring tide, two hours before high water and two hours after, so that she would have four hours available; on an ordinary neap she would have three hours available. Between Barry and Sully Is a favourite anchoring ground coming up Channel to Cardiff and Penarth, the best place being a little nearer to Sully than to Barry. It is all good ground from Barry up to Sully, and a vessel going into Barry Dock W(¡'tC:rI.nhV e::s it,and i go back. The sea water which now flows through thst Inlet does not carry with It, I should think, any great quantity of matter in suspension. The dam shown on t ? o model has certainly had the effect of bringing about the deposit of mud. I am told they will make a sluice, and create a current of water, if the scheme is sanctioned, from the east to the west But, excluding the sluice from consideration, I am of opinion that the flow and re-flow of the tide will produce a current. The effect of the proposed dam shown on the model would be to create a certain area of still water. Do you know that if this scheme is sanctioned the dock-master will have power to order the small vessels, which find it convenient to come to Barry now, away to a distance of 500 yards ? You know that there are pilotl?:tts Bud others which find it convenient to onchor at the eastern entrance-do you know that the dock-ena?ter will have the el'dab:o o':I:eifie Ill;:S ?- VA. Do you think that is fair and right ?—Quite right. Witness continued that lie had been asked to sign the petition of pilots agaimt tho Bill, but that he had never use d the expression, in referring to that matter, that the other side had ben trying to get hold of liiin." It might have been u?ed by counsel, but he himself had not said ?. A. to the largest vemel he had ever taken into the But. D.ek, he could not remember the exact \tekio'a¡::Ut n)or:liln: teN:: I and she was just tho length of the &t9t Basin. He had heard of a collision fit Februarv of this year in the neighbourhood between a tfova Scotiau barque and a German bi ig. The German brig was dropping down the tide across the other ship's prow, and ran into her, but he did not know that the collision hafJned in the Barry Roads,though he would not deny it. He t'l?rd be very much surprised w learn that the depth of WbUr was greater In the channel through the Cefn-y-Wrach shoal than in the channel down the gutway. Pilots always endeavoured to get out tv sea on ? rising tide. He did not know that special care was taken to ke(?p the channel through t r.C¿'Ie;lctrk(;e :l the gut?8 but he "Iwuld say that there would be no ?, ?eUIty in getting a vessel through the former shoal If she had once got through the gutway. Ho himself, however, required tl,e vlw,:??.id be four feet clear of w&tar under that t  the keel, and hew not aware that he had ever taken a vessel out, with less water under her keel than the depth he considered nee essary. It was pos«ible that he had 8"tnetlrnes had moro than enough water under the keel. The reason he re- quirwl a margin of four feet was that he was held responsible as pilot, and that he preferred to be on the safe side. But don't you know that there are pilots who content themselves with two feet or less?—Ah, dont I. (Laughter.) But are they not as eligible for the place you hold as you yourself are ? Can they nottakevesmlti out of that basin, and are they not perfectly con- tent if they get two feet of water under their keel, and le98(-1 will not admit that they have got sufficient water. There are men who will take any risk, and don't care a snap of the finger when they do damage. EXAMINATION OF MB. B. T. MORSE. Mr, Evan Thomas Morse, eXllmined by Mr. Balfour Brown, said: I have been a first-class Channel pilot in the Bristol Channel for 23 years. The Chairman: Tho previous witness has given a great deal of evidence from the pilots' point of ve,w Mr. Balfour Brown: I will take this witness very shortly. Examination continued: As a practical nautical mlln I may say I don't think any -it. could be better than that proposed for the Barry Dock. The position chosen is an excellent one. The dock will be very much sheltered both from south and south- westerly storms, which are the prevailing winds ofth Channel. The approach is very good, And there will be no crowding in approaching the dock, the distance being so close from the piers to the breakwater. I have taken the tides opposite the proposed entrance, and I find that the strongest tide last year was 1 7-10 knot. At all times when it would be prudent to lift a ship's anchor It would be prudent to dock at BArry, Th: anchctm a for vessels between Barry 'Imlnnd h":11; Isd :f ;e:d frí!rJ:i; I consider it the best in the whole Bristol Channel. Frequently, with an ebb tide and an easterly wind, or with a strong flood tide, J. anchor my vessels there in preference to the Penarth Koads. I have never put Into Barry harbour with a vessel for shelter, but I have on one or two occneions run in with my boat. 1 have never heard of a harbour of refuge being there, but it is used on rare occasions by pilot vessels and small craft. The proposed anchorage behind the break- waters will be very useful for pilot boats when we have a strong winrl from the south, and the pilots will be able to run in for shelter. There is nothing of that kind In the Channel at present. The light at the dock will enable vessels to run for the western end of Barry Dock on a dark night. ni;ml""tlon continued: I agree with the Inst ■witnessas to the difficulty of approaching Cardiff Docks. The amount, size, and number of vessels coming into the port makes navigation extremely dangerous and Si fl?ic uIt. I c.,?,.r ,ith the last witness as to this point, and .Is. as to what h. said as to the amount of water which should be under the keel of a ship coming out of the Roath Basin. I have boen detained in the Penarth Roads waiting to get In, and these detentions expose vessels to great risk, which they would avoid If they could dock at once. Some eighteen months or two years ago I was secretary to the Pilots' Association. At that time I conferred with the promoters, and it was agreed that there should be no oppolition to the Bi I have measured the dgPfiW:: gr;;tI Bn'tw; sineh..r At the several pla"s the width ranged from 163ft. to 234ft. I have also measured the Cefn-y-WrRch Channcl, which ranges from 203ft. to 234ft, There has been no substantial addition to the gutway since the dredging commenced. I CBOSS-EXAM1NATIOS. Cross-examined by Mr. Michael Don't you know that works are in progress for doubling the width of this cut ?-I on't know, but I Tisve heard something of it. I never read the Act, and I see nothing in it that insists upon the Marquess of Bute making it 200 feet wider. They are now dr *.g the slope of the cut. drr,ftD:eedIefw: be great itd?ntag(? to the harbour ?-I have endeavoured to deal with facts, not with assumptions. (Laughter.) You cannot tell me whether it would be im. proved ?—I canoot. The size and number of the shipsroiaht increase with the extra width. But even then double the tonnage would be admitted ?—That is so. Mr. Macartnsy: Is it imperative on Lord Bute to double the width of the gutway ? MI. Michael: I cannot say it la imperative, but we gave a pledge last year, and we have carried it out ever since. We have expended a large sum of money upon that. m Mr. Balfour Brown: Might I ask where that pledge wu given, and to whom? We know nothing of it? Mr1liehllel: I think it b given in evidence. If I made a wrong statement so much tW WOrM fw madI e wW ftAd out by Monday aut. Cross-examination resumed What happens on a Mod tide ?—The water rises. (Laughter.) Then it does rise even with the prosentchannel ? —There are places where there is, practically, no flood tide. 18 it not a usual thing for pilot-boats to resort to this place, and lay up for the nlgbt ?-No; quite unusual. Do you suggest to the Committee that a light, varying as you have described, would be a safe guide to ships ?—I assume tbe light would be lit after dark-from sunset to sunrise. Why shouldn't it. Just so; in order to get the advantage?—No: not at all "in order to o get the advantage." I merely suggest that vessels might find it useful, but I don't say it is necessary. Now, as to the deposit of silt at the present time, is the entrance to Barrv Dock entirely clear?—I won't my it is entirely ?l.r, but tho deposit is not so great mere as at Cardiff, for the  simple reason that the tide comes down all over the Cardiff flats and from the River Severn, and brings down mud witli it. But it is a very muddy stream, is It not ?—Yes. then indicated the points on the model at which there would be five or six fathoms of water, and the distance at which there would be six or seven fathoms off Sully Island. Were you present at a meeting of the pilets when this subject was discussed ?-l was. Was there a full di.cussion of it ?—There was a di.qcutision-not a full discus6on, be?u" a petition had been introduced previously from tE. But. party, and signed by about 20 or 30 pilots. There- fore, It was, in a manner of speaking, forestalling the meeting, and I felt, for one, that it was useless to enter into a discussion when 30 or 40 had already pledged themselves to oppose the petition, led on by the Bute party. The petition was brought in by a pilot, from Mr. Shirley's office. You were in such a hopeless minority that ou thought it was lJ:sa to "u,:i: r made up my inind to use my own judgment, and to let the other pilots do what they liked. And I suppose they had the same opportunity of formin g their own judgmnt <-No, because the other pilots knew nothing about the meeting. It was notified simply by a bit of paper put on the wall of the pilots' office. I attended because I came accidentally into the office. The notices are usually given to the pilots by means of circulars, which are sent to every member of the association. There were, I think, 80 pilots belonging to the association, but we always sent notices to those outside as well. How many signatures were there for and how many againattijis scheme ?—I did not see any peti- tion for the scheme I saw one against it. How many were present out of the 80 ?—There might possibly havo been 40. Thirty-nine wero of one way of thinking, and the odd one of the other. RE-FXAMINATION. He-examined by Mr. Balfour B '0' The 39 in- I ?luded the grter part of those ?l-- had already signed. There is- verygood bathing beach near !Jrry-e"cel1ent, clean sand. The breakwaters will be lighted to show the entrance w the channel, and this will be an advantage to the pilots, who want to come in behind them and anchor. Horatio Davie3, a first-class pilot, was also examined. Captain Moriarty, examined by Mr. Jeune, said heC;;A a r.:d't)¿!Iitiiehebko'1 that he was one of the nautical "swrs to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and that he had hall great experienee as pilot. In 1666 he was made Companion of the Bath for his assistance in laying the Atlantic Telegraph cable; and for some time he acted at Portsmouth as assistant-master of the dockyard. He had visited Barrv on five septimteoomions, beginning in September, 1882, and he considered that the site was about the best that could be conceived for a dock. The examination of this witnese had not con- cluded at five o'clock, when the Committee adjourned until Monday. It was decided after a conversation that whet, the House adjourns for the Whitsun holidays the Committee shall not resume its sittings until Tuesday, June 10.

THE KIDWELLY STABBING CASE. DEATH OF THE INJURED MAN. The young man John Howells, who was wounded at Kidwelly on Saturday night last, died on Friday morning about live o'clock in the County Infirmary at Carmarthen. Deceased, who was 27 years of age, had lived with his mother in Abbey-street, Kidwelly. The magisterial hearing at Kidwelly stands adjourned till Monday morning next. The charge against the prisoner will.f ow be altered to that of causing the death of John Howells. Mr. W. Morgan Griffiths, solicitor, Carmorthen.whohad been instructed to prosecute by the chief constable of the county (Mr. W. Fhilipps), has communicated with tho Public Prosecutor on the matter. David Morris, who is in gaol on tho charge, and who. as already stated, had a severe nervous shock on hearing of the serious condition of Howells last Wednesday. has slightly recovered, but it is doubtful whether he will be in a fit condition to be conveyed to Kid- welly on Monday. lie has not yet been informed of the death of Howells, it being feared that such tidings would. in his low condition, bring about the most serious results. The inquest will be held this (Saturday) afternoon at three o'clock.

When 'ri ?n., came qgain on r rhumday night Crowdon marked his money, and on the following morning he lost. shilling, 8IJd he accused prisoner of the theft. Organ denied it, and said that a man of his ability as inspector would not do it. He then went to the w.c., and was followed bV Crowdon, and it was sworn that, while there, he was seen to do something to his trousers. Subsequently beneath the closet seat tho lIIissing lost shilling (marked) was found.

ITHE DISESTABLISHMENT OF THE…
THE DISESTABLISHMENT OF THE CHURCH IN WALES, DISCUSSION BY THK CONGREGATIONAL UNION. THE RESOLUTION. At the final meeting of theCongregntipnal Union on Friday, which was held in the Memorial-hall, Karringdon-st reet, Dr, Parker in the chair, the subject of Welsh Disestablishment came up on the following motion by Dr. T. Kees, D,D. the cliair- man-elect:— Tliat the assembly, believing that the pli,y which pr.,id?. for the application .1 national propertv to the pp.,t.f tlU! Church, and for th aontrol ftl??

John Dick P die t)f their Intention on an riv dav, to submit motions t<? the Hotai? 01 Commons 7.r':IIyWOfBDf¡'Ib:n,r!:enno favour of a policy of Dlj-etibhibmeiit and Disendow- raent. TheUlembly truate that all these motion. will b, cordiallf 8Upport by it" Nonconformists of the couritrv,Rndbvth h? represent their views in Par- liament, aud that, Inullluch u in Wales and Bootland a great majorit y of the people as* Dlawnlerl, the motion referring to those parts ut Great Britain will be Imme- diately adopted, and be followed by measures eivinir t hem practical effect. They had, said Dr. Ree, been accused by their Episcopalian friends of aiming at the destruction of tho Church. That was a libel, and arose from their not distinguishing between the Church and tho Establishment. The Church would be im- mensely bettered by Disestablishment, At present her pulpits were open to men who had neither PhY8icaE mental, nor spiritual qualiftmtions for their ,rk. He thought Dissenters would be the first to .ffer by DiAeslAbliehment" for many mem- bers might go iver to the Free Churches. It was tt, e d est (lfo:r:k:r8,p;ct :d ments were the life of a Church In Wal thev had a few Dissenting endowments, but he prayed their rich men never to give monev to individual Churches. (Laughter.) At nis own chapel for a special cause he had one day obtained £53; ot another endowed chapel of equal status the collection next Sunday reached 36s. (Laughter.) Wales furnished the best argument for Disestablishment. The propor- tion of Church to Dissent w88-ln towns as 1 to 5 or 6; in rural districts, 1 to 18; and in some parishes 1 to 34. The argu- ment was that poor districts could do nothing without the aid of the State. Wales had demo- lished that argument altogether. At Swansea at a recent census there were present at worship on one Sunday 56.000 Nonconformists and 11.000 Churchmen, In eight villages of the Khondda Valley on the let in.1. there were present 3L260 Non?nformi?tp. nd exactly 2,000 El,)i?PR)i&?@. On the Epimp?li an? wro ono to nine of the W,?l.ti.n. Why elwuld such people be saddled with an Establishment On the 26lh of Ma y 1870, a di%cussion in the House or COmlUon ,tl)/)t place on the Welsh Establishment, aod the greatest man In Britain then Mid that there was no comparison between the state of things in Ireland and that in Wales, and. therefore, they had a right to disestablish the Irish Church while they hod not to disestablish the Welsh one. That wu. a very weak argument from a very greatman, but that great mail was a man of progress. And when the question again came up he did not think 11m! argument would be brought forward again. (Hear, hear.) Tho Welh Nonconformists were tolerant; they formed no -?t ROCieti, they had no a?m?inations; and was it just that thev should suffer injustice because they were I.y.1 ,.d l.w-.bidi.g people, whose history had b("n marked by terrible disadvantages? In Ute seventeenth century their preachers had be.. I.- prisoned. One of the most eminent was in prison for ten years in succession, and he had died at lsst in the Fleet Prison, on the very spot where tliey were then met. The inhabitants of certain Wei,k counties had even petitioned to have no mere Dissenters sent to their gaols, because they had no room for thieves and murderers. There was no persecution now, but the Establishment was still ?ni??,,td byi,,pi,it "f ..r,n- and bigotry" In the ggr?g?,t,? Churchmen were narrow: minded and sour, and un-Christian In their charac- ter ?nd st!riuuws, regarding themsel" superiors, and Dissenters as powhers in their pre- serves. [)? ?: t.l,liqliinent would get rid of all that unliapr,ine ?r f?,iig. (Hear, h,.r.) The first Nonconformist place of worship was built in 1639, and th..r wi re now throughout W4m no fewbr than 4,300. (Hear, bear.) Hev. Dr. Hrcck seconded the moti0n. TMre wu. he Mid. growing section of men amongst them more literary than religious who defended the Church of England, because they Mid that in it men could preach anything and be anvthing. Mr. Matthew Arnold regarded the Church simplv as a society for the promotion of national goodness, and theology a" so much poetry. (Laughter,) He hi.1 ???lf thought the Athanaslan creed was not very good theology, and it certainly was worse poatrv but, letting that pass, he protested against Ùle immoral principle of a man subscribing the three L'reedeand the 39 Articles, and then thinking him. self at liberty to preach and believe anything. (Hear, hsar,) Mr, C..R"I<J.t. WIU.IAJ((, who was loudly ap- plauded, said the resolution seemed to leave Eng- land out in the cold, for it expressed the hope that only the Welsh and Scottish Disestablishment motions would be carried into effect. But their principles were making rapid headway in Englwd for all that. (Hear, hear.) When he entered on public life the favourite texts of voluntaries were treated to something like derision; now clergy- men preached from Put not your trust in Princes. (Laughter and Hear, hear. ) T?? Church hRJlthde Ie:rf l::d tI had now to teach it tho other half-that the only freedom for it consisted in freedom from State control. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously amidst hearty cheers. The CUAIRMAN announced that a bazaar on behalf of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society would be opened t.hat afternoon by Mrs. Gladstone in the City Temple Schoolroom. Mr, Gladstone had, in response to R memorial from milors of variouA 1)ort?. mid that if he could he "'oud &tw.nd the opening also. He hardly expected him t?  ?me tt onitït iaroj[ Im be thankful ?o welt?mo??ttwh an opportunity of t?ti. fying Iheir personal and unanimous respect for one whose signal services to the State were 011\11" of history, and whose power of apprecia- tion was equal W the other distinguished faculties w hich made him the first Englishman of his age. (..d pplaa) TIle Kev. J, C Ingram moved that a formal vote of unabated confidence be transmitted to the right hon. gentleman. Dr, Hannay suggested that the union should simply sanction a communication from Dr. Parker, as chairman of be union, to the Prime Mini?t?-r, couched in the Rpirit of the remarks which he had I :ei"pe o t::i w'iI';n which -u-t? of neamuity, be hastily drawn up. (Hear, hear.) This course was adopted, and the whole audience rose to their feet in token of assent. The Chairman Mid that his letter to the Prin, Minister would, he was glad to see, be in no sense I' snonvmous. (Laughter.) A paper on Methods of Dealing with the Work- in l CI_ which was one of thm "tp,, "d from Tuesday" 's discussion, was then read by tlie Rev. J. F. T: Hallowes, B.A., and the proceedings closed with the benediction.

Important business de. tained him in town,alJl.e wrote to a*k Mr. Beynon to withdraw his motion.

Further, Colonel Lyne ptatod that he had it in his mind to propose an increase in their staff of water bailiffs. Taking all thingslnto account, lie pou\d'I<.1 refrain from expressing hi. opinion, and asking Mr. Beynon to withdraw his iu<>imn. ine aecona letter was from Mr. J. S.

They would not L?n,-fit Ihe port — The Chairman said remark* liko those of Mr. Murphy were damaging and injurious to the port. Captain Aldridge, one i the be., authorities they could consult,had examined the river tnice, at intervals of ten years, and he said on the eecond occasion the river had not altered in the whole of that period. The Alexandra Dock Company were largely int<>rellte<1 in Ihe port, ondtiie)- would be the first to make representations to ÙI8 Com- missioners if .ytt?i.g the matter. With ;ne; illl"nnfi;hg u;.ir'JUJ P?r.?n that they ought not to tax shipowners for contemplated improvcmentF, They ought to follow the example of other ports in this respect. He was not like the man who aaid he would not do anything for posterity because posterity had done nothing for him, Hut he thought lmol gr-t I improvements should be effected by means uf a loan the repayment of which ahould be spread over a number of years, and then posterity would help to pay for those improvements. Thev would have no difficulty in borrowing £ 60,000 or £ 60,000. For eighteen years he had urged that they should spend the money in improving the port, or reduce the due. Be had advocated a dry dock, a ferry, and also the puichaee of the old dock by the commis- Aionlirs, He should have been glad if the last had been done to prevent a mooopoly which might be injurious to the port in future.
