I ROYAL ACADEMY BANQUET. I SPEECH BY LORD SALISBUITY. On Saturday night the annual banquet of the Royal Academy WAS h.IIS., Burlington House, a distinguished coippaoy, nunbering between 200 ard 300, being entertained by the president (Sir P. Lelgbton). Amongst the guests wet* the following notabilities;—The Prince of Wales, Pf lace Albert Victor, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian, the Duke at Tack, the Prive Minieter (Ibe Marquess of Salisbury), the Duke of Rutland, the Lord Chancellor (Lord Halsbury), the Archbishops of Canterbury "\d York, Lord oearge Hamilton, Earl Oranville, Lord Derby, Lor4 Hartitgtou. tarl Spencer, and uiaqy Ambassadors and tepreieau- tivaaef diplomatiu services; Mr. A. J. Ualfour, Mr. Ooscben, Sir Edward Clarke, the Lord ?-Ityor, Sir Char lea Warren, Hir GlOrle lievelyan, Mr. John bright, and Varoo Rothschild- In propealng the loyal toast, Sir fl. LFIOHTON referred te the remarkable fact that since the last exhibition in those IOOWI they bad celebrated, not only the tioUt year of the Sovereign of the greatest Empire on earth, but the 25ih 3 ear of the marriage of hot illustrious eon. The Prince of Wats* responded, and referred in the mure* ol hi, SMech to the re-awakened hopes which they voqrs permitted to hold of the restora- tion to health of the Emperor of Germany. The Duke of CaiiekiDux responded for the Army, aoJ'Lord GKOBOU HAMILTON tor the Navy. The PaaeifKNT then gave the toast of Uer Majest'* Miniatera." Th' )""141181 of SALISBURY, who was received witlt loud cbeara, aaid May 11 plyase your ltoyal Highueeeee, my Lord" end Geatiamen-I have to offer the customary tribute of thanks to you for the courteous acceptance of this toast by < body to far removad from all suspicion or taint of party sympathy ay that which 1 have the honour to addrese. (Hear, hear.) 1 am grateful, indeed. In these days that anyone ie willing to look with favour upon her Majesty's Ministers. (Laughter.) I ttiiuk 1 have recently eeeo the etstement, attributed to a great authority, that we are aniaiated invariably by a low aod vicious standard of morality. (Laughter.) I cannot, therefore, be sufficiently grateful to you, ,i" for t?vme paned over thete ,rave dercl,. iiir, for 4*vi:l th?t in our universal function of "C\pW8, hima lor tU that is done or that n c?Mttd we must 'omtUtBM )Beur censure of this kind. (Laughter.) You are good enough to propose our health. It is a low and bumble tbeme -(Iaugbtar)-bllt, as you have suggested it to me, 1 must deal with it. (Laughter.) Last year I ventured to invok. your powerful sympathy for my colleagues in the Bouse of Commons, expoeed to party influences special to their time aud fatal to any but the most athletic constitution. (LAugtiter.) Now I am happy to be able to vender a mar. encouraging tale. By the simple process of cultivating regular and moral bour*~(ofugbter)— all the dangerous symptoms by which our faelings were disquieted and our health menaced have disap- peared. Order hike succeeded chaoe, peace has auc- ceeded to confusion, and they feel that tiiere is nothing oow but a pursuit of the same policy and the aausa prescription which has brought them to tlmir present happy condition, in order to pre- vent for ever such dread apprehension* as I had to expresa whan last I addressed you. (Laughter.) For those of my colleagues in the House of Com. moat-lobe, are the only ones for whose health It is worthy of you to inquire— (laugbter)--tbe difference between the present year and the past ym I.p.k¡n, to a poetic Meembiy M)M this, aa tha difsrence bemMn L'AUtgro and 11 Penaerose. (Cheers.) As to the Bouse of Lords, I Hiave not much to say. Our health is as good III is compatible with the very remarkable experience through which we have been lately passing. It litip been the practice of ages that fathers should referm the sons. (Laughter.) Hut our sons, holding that the ex. perieece ot tbe past has been somewhat one-sided in that respect, have been kind enough to pro. pose to reform ui. (Laughter and cheeks.) W. have nothing to complain of the prescriptions which they have cCtred, though they are gome, what analogous to those which in classic time* Medea attempted also for the purposesof retribution. (Laughter.) But we bave bores with patience and with stoicism the tender and the affec- tionate, attentions of our highly accom- plished and condeeeeadiog offspriog-(iaughttr) —and we cannot but feel that it ia a triumph of which any assembly may be proud that thtit haira-epparent, with the choices put before tbem, prefer the procees of meDding" to the process of "ending." (Laughter end cheers. Of the general atate of affairs at which you glanced, air, I would merely say that we are passing through one of those usually short intervals of peace-of extreme and tranquil peace-Ldue, probably, with respect to our internal affairs, more to exbeustion than to anything else, but due as regards our foreign affairs to aaolher cause, which you have alluded to with your usual power and felicity ol language. Europe is standing hushed by the bed. side of ita most powerful, its most admired and valued potentate. (Cheers.) We earnestly follow the course of the sufferings of the bmperor with aucb hopes 18 his Eoyal Highness ex- pressed, and with a deep eense of the tragic import of the crisis through which we are passing. I may say that there ie no body of men from whom eympathy ought te flow in fuller and more exuoded volume than the rvmpathy of those who value art, for there are no truer and more enthusiastic disciples of higher cuitqre and 01 art in its many forms than the present Emperor and Empress of Germany. (Cheers.) 1 hope you will understand that we moat cordially reciprocate the solicitude you have kindly expressed with respect to our health we entertain the best wishes for the great interests of the academy aleS the great art which it pursues. (Cheers.) We have every ground, not only for wishing well, but for bolieviom-, that your pros- pecta are high and flourishing. His Royal High- nee* the Prince of Wal" alluded to on* note of a flourishing society, on which, perhaps, 1 need not dwell; but in all powerful movemente of man- kind the great mark of vitality and force are the hereaie8 and schisms which attach to the movement when it atarll and as it continuee. Now, that mark of vitality and force haa not been denied to the Royal Acadomy. You have heresies, you bave acbisms, you have schisms upon schism* you have scbisw '1' interpre t .11 lb.? —(laughter)—and interpret all to mean tbat a spirit of earnest desire in artistic perfection is aUning tJwt Knglifb people to its depths. For the rest, air, we have to thank you heartily for the relief from our accustomed studies and contempla- tlona which thie great exhibition affords us. To us politicians, to whom ugliness is the heritage of our daily life--(Iaugbter)-the beauty that we see here is asa revelation of fairyland. ancl it is a beauty that is not wholly disjoined from the recollection of our daily pursuits. Even here we ait uuder the presidency of the Lord (;hancellor and the Right Hon. the Speaker-l mean upon the wall -(iaugbter)--mod there are other figures and faces with which in our daily life we are familiar. We look on their, her,, pleased to aae how mild and calm they are-(Iaughtsr)-and feel that we can admire toile expression without any apprehension of what i8 to come-- (laugliter)-and we can look at even these speaking likenesses and feel that they have not got to be answered. (Laughter.) 1 am not making any party allusion. If I look to the wall on the right or to the left asy feeling* are those of coaaraluletion at the aootbing Mtence which is Mre!y met with ttMwhere. and which distinguishes the figuree at which I glance and which aaaurea we while I speak. I can only say that we earnestly wishthis academy wall. In thie country it is not in the power of the Government to assist the academy largely. On the contrary, one of the privilegoo of this meeting lit tbat w# acme bare purely as gueats; this academy bee made itself, and is entirely indepen- dent of Government*. (Cheers.) We can do little tor you ef any kind. Whan I look at tb. wellth of municipal portraiture which tbil room shows I do feel that ia instituting county councils we are opsaing to you a noble Held ia the portraiture of toe future. (Laughter and cheers.) While with- ing you well in tbe cultivation of tint and every atyle 81 art, I will only earnestly hope for a long oareer to this brilliant academy, and that it win continue to produce pictures to influence end elevate mankind when our passing political con- reversi" will be buried and forgotten.

I IS THE BOOK OF ABER. PERGWM SPURIOUS OR NOT I [Br "MORIBN. The question whether the Owentian, or Aber- pergwm, Chronicle of the Princes (of Wales) it genuine or false ia one of national importance. For were the book proved to be unauthentic the written history of Walea would receive a similar blow to that which the history of England expe- rienced when it was discovered that the "Ancient State of Britain," by Richard of CireDcester was a fabrication! 1 have been much surprised to find that the authenticity of this chronicle has bean even questioned, fmpecially by Mr. George T. Clark, Talygarn. Of course, the views of a learned historian eucb as be is are received by many as tiogpgl truth. But I place, with perfect confidence, the opinion of Mr. Aneurin Owen against that of the historian of Talygurn, espe- cially on questions relating to Cambrian bistory requiring a knowledge of the language of Walea to enable one to collect collateral evidence on the points at ilue. Mr. Aneurin Owen, after a most minute analyais of the incidents mentioned in the Chronicle of Aborporgwmand comparing tbem with the contenta of other chronicles on the same subject, and also after a scholarly examination of the style, idiom. fcc., of the Aborpergwm Book. deliberately prepares an "Introduction "-in two lli visiona-to his edition of the chronicle, which he plates in the hands of the Master of the Rolli. In that "Introduction" he specifically declares "lie eees no reason in the least to doubt" the authenticity of the Aborpergwm Chronicle. He says of it that "it is evidently the work of some person who had taken great paius to settle the clironology-of events." And he further arrives at tbe conclusion tbat the first portion of this chrollicle is the groundwork of the StratA Florida copy. Mr Owen, therefore, coatee to the conclusion that the Aberpergwm Chronicle is the production of Caradog of Llancarvau himself. Mr. Owen deals nrst with the portion of the two copies relating to the epochs prior to the yenr 1100. The result of his scrutiny lie gives as follows The events In this prior part DO not materially differ III UM two [uupiesl, though there Are some Gweutiiin laourh V\ u 1 e^>J incident# interspersed in tlie Aberpyrgwm Clpouleia not to be fouud In the other copy. But the lugua/ill of thi. portion (the one referring to pariodlt prior to nOD) in each "entirely differs." What is tha inference? That the portion in each referring to epochs prior to 1100 was the ground Work of tha two. In other words, that the earlier portion of e^ch was prepared by some scribe who had nothing to do with the compila- tion of the subsequont entries in the two chronicles. Now, we are told by Geoffrey of Monmouth him- self that Caradog of Liancurvan undertook the writing of the Chronicle of the I'rincvs by his request, and that he gave him materials for the work. This would account for the first portion of the two chronicles differing in style and idiom (" language is the word used by Mr. A. Owen) from the latter entries in both. Mr. A. Owen was a profound Welsh scholar. He was selected by the Government on account of his Welsh and English learning to succeed Mr. John Humphrey Parry in the preparation of The Early History of the British Isles" for the Government; and the world is indebted to him for that great work entitled "The Ancient Laws and Institutes of Wales." This was the scholar who declared he saw no reason in ttie least to doubt" the genuine- ness of the Aberpergwm Chronicle. He has left in on record in the "lottoductioa" that be failed to obtain a sight of the chronicle at Aberpergwui during tho minority of the heir, Mr- Morgan Williams, who is the present owner of the Aberpergwm Library and estates. Mr. Aneurin Owen, being a native ol Denbighshire, was guided, probably, almost entirely in his views as to the character of the Aberpergwm Chronicle by its internal evidence. But we in Glamorgan-that is, we who are familiar with the Welsh language- know that looal names and local traditions con. firm the recorded incidents of the chronicle. We know that there is a long meadow —free common bearing the name of "Gwrgan," and we are informed by the Aber- pergwm Chronicle that such a place was given to the poor by King Gwrgan of Glamorgan. We know that for four centuries a monastery named Pen Rhys flourished on one of the bills of Ystrady- fodwg, and that, according to the beat information we can gather, it was erected and endowed by Robert Consul, Earl of Gloucester, eon of Nest (daughter of Prince Rhya ap Tewdwr), by King Henry II. ihe Aberpergwtn Cbronicle tells U9 that Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr fought on Hirwaun Wrgan, near Breconshire," the combined forces ot Glamorgan and the Normans under Robert Kitzhauion tbat Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr's army was defeatedafter "a great bloody battle" (" brwydr waedlyd fawr"); that Prince Rhys and his army took to flight istr"tod--ovidentiv over the mountains to the weat of Hirwaun Wrgan, followed," the chronicle goea on to aay," by Prince Iestyn (and, of course, the combined ariniea), and that Prince Ruys's head wascutoff (curiously enough, theexpression used is, "lIadd ei bon"-killed hia Lisad), and the place whertl that occurred ia Pen Rhys. Within a short distance, to the south ef Fan RbYI, oa the top of tha moun- tain, it a place called Bryn-y-B*ddau (Tbe Bill of the Graves). Thie is about half a mile from the burying enclosure of tbe monaatery. which is still indicated by the name "Cae'r Fynwent" (The Field of the Burying Grounds.) The Hill of the Graves, on the open mountain above the Rhondda Valley, is doubtlees the spot where the heroic old chieftaiu of South Wales sounded the rally on the war trumpet of Dinevawr, and where many of his bravo soldiers fell, and there found a grave. As mentioned in a former letter, several places in the parish are asso- ciated with the name of "Rhys ap Tewdwr." Doubtless, he bad still with him in hit retreat a numerous army, who, whilst defending their egad chief, said in effect what the Imperial Guard. of Napoleon said at Waterloo, The Guards die, but never surrender and thus enabled the old warrior to escape to the top of the valley by which his name is still associated. Again, is there no PwU Cynan in We"t Wales, on the way to Ystra Tywi ( • The chronicle men- tiona such a place, which before was called "Cremlyn," and which received, in cnnaequeoce of Cynan, son of Rhyiap Tewdwr, being accidentally drowned in it, the above name. Then we have the Golden Mile; and we are distinctly told by the monks that a place near Llantwit Major received the name of Golden Mount on account of an army being there assembled and stationed which glittered with golden clothing and armour." Would the sceptic have it that the compiler of the Aberpergwm Chronicle went about the country to induce monks and other people to give new names to localities to support hit uaeleaa historical frauds? The idea is a ridicu- louI onu. On referring to the Chronicle of the Princes. in the Red Bwk of Hergeat, I find that Una ia all it states about the death of Prince Rhya ap Tewdwr :—"The age of Christ was 1090 when Rhya ap Tewdwr, King of South Wales (Deheu- bartb) was killed by the French inhabiting Breconehire, and then was taken the kingdom of the Britons." This is 60 vague as not to deserve much notice. About this time," states the chronicle of Ieuan Brechfa (" Myv. p. Y20), Rucb, Karl of Cheeter, took most of the land of North Walej and Aiigleiea, and Bernard Newmarch took b¡rt and two m?nth! after drying Iestyn ap Gvvrgtu out of hh country the Yreuch took Cardigan and Pembroke; and in the utue summer Url Arundel took the beat of tha land of Powys.

The Chronicle of Hergest lead. op* up to aq interesting point and tlien drops it, but on referring to the Aberpergwm Chronicle a further light it thrown upon it. Thip occurs over and over again, proving clearly tbat the narratives, are independent of each other.

In the course of his opening address,tha Chairman said that the trustees, having arrived at the end of their labours, could congratulate themselves upon having a very beautiful and useful building, and net only that, but a building which bad been erected at a very small cost in comparison with Its effectiveness*, and also at a email cost to the institution. The Charity Commissioners paid out of the capital of the fund £ 2,161, the Countess of Lisburne subscribed and collected iEI,198, and tbe trustees had effected a saving to the extent of 91,272, which made the total required £ 4,831.— The new building was designed by Mr. E. M. Bruce Vaughan, A.R.I.B.A., of Cardiff, and the contract was taken by Mr. David Lbyd. of Aber- ystwitb, who has carried out the work in a very satisfactory manner. The administrative block is placed in the centre of the building, and comprises a matron's room, surgeon's private loom, surgery, and operating room (with top light), and dispen- aary. The kitchen offices, which are cut off from the administrative block by a 8ft. air passage, comprise kitchen, scullery, larder, and matron's store. On the right side of the central block are the rooms for eui-patients, well arranged for the ingress and egress of the patieuts, and over the block is provided, in two storeys, eiebt bedrooms, with bathroom, itc., for the infirmary staff. The wards are on the ground floor on either side of tha building, each separated from the central block by a well-liglited, cross- ventilated corridor. There it provided for each aex a ward, which contains beds, with the usual conveniences also a day-room, and an emergency ward containing two beds. Uct) bad has an uir space of 1,500 cubic feet.

The warda and building generally are effieieatly ventilated and drained according to modern principles. Outside a parterre has been laid out in walks sod planted, and at the back is a large kitchen garden. The building iaa valuable acquisition to the institution and to the town.

He also explained the delay 18 publishing the rules, and stated that in the course of a couple of weeks the ruiea, which out now in the bands of the Registrar-General, would bo printed in both languages and eirculated throughout the trade. He anticipated a large accession of momPerll when that wae donl.-Thl secretary's favourable report gave great aatisfaction, and it' was decided to form districts so as to facilitate the precast of organisa- tion. A resolution was passed requesting the execu- tive coramittee to undertalt4 the matter at once.— It was also reported that the contributions to the Central Relief Fund aud for tha relief ef the dis- tress caused by the steppage ef the Kidwelly Works were unsatisfactory, and the aecretary emphasised the necessity for jeereaeed faithful- ness.

■ aw i.Jiaa fis sn^nyy ■ II MILITARY FUNERAL AT PENARTH. AL ONE OF THE « NOBLE SIX HUNDRED." I AN MPJilfSSIVE CEREMONY, The mortal remain* of Private Cherlea Powell, UU of tbe lltb UQUUA* WOFO interred on Satur- day at tba eeaaetery of 8s. Auguetiae's Church, Penartb, with full military honour*. Afiringparty was provided by the 3rd Rifle Volunteer Battalion of the Welsh Regiment, which waa represented btlldea by a contingent of rank and Al*. Local artillery volunteers to the number of about 50 also fell into line for the occasion. The two bikods of the detachment#, conducted by Mr. Paul Draper, atUnded, and the whole of the men were under the command of Captain Coleman. The Navy had a delegation In the persona of a number of coast- guardsmen and two or three naval pensioners. The Rev. Mr. Williams, curate, was the officiating minister. The demonstration of respect originated in a commendable desire to pay all honour to the memory of one whoso glory it bad been to take part in the ever-famous charge of the LjghtRrigade at Balaclava. The stalwart yeung Hereford man who, in 1847, when only nineteen yeal" of age, enlisted at Mon- mouth in the Coldstream Guards, reached tile Crime*, attached to the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's OWP), in time to bear his full aiiiai-a of the trial), the tribulations, and the glories which fell to the lot of the men who asserted the supremacy of Britain on the Golden Chersonese. At Alma, Inkerman, aud SetmstopolJ he fought with the colours. To bim waa leaerved an experience granted only to » low, Oil that never-to-be-forgotten day, when an official blunder resulted io addiug to the history of Biitiali arms its most glorious page, Powell took his plitee with his troop. He joined in that wild chargo between the Fedioukine Heights; swept with his comrades down that valley of death braved the storm of shells and bullets which thinned at every leap the line of noble heroes; participated in the deadly wiestle when the redoubts were reached and formed a unit of tbe straggling, ragged troop who, weakened by wounds ond worn out by fatigue, climbed the dabbled hill and stood beneath the eyes ef thousands "with sabres broken, helmets bent with ranks how thinned and colours rent." He went through the terrible ordeal without even a wound, and gained without utter pains the dis- tinction which belongs to those chosen souls who luttke the biise of freedom's throne." His sarvice abroad did not extend beyond three and a half years, but the period was one full of fierce uctivity-a history making epoch and after spending a lite which in its youthful vigour had ueen tllwpnl-toslad and tried iitt few lives are, he now, amidst peaceful surroundings, heard and obeyed the last orlier of tha Great Commander. He died at Pennrth on tha 2aJ of May, in hill 58th year. Meet was it that one who had lived so bravely, had fought the good tight, eliould not be allowed to pM6 aw?y without *ome recognition of the fervices he had rendered to his country aud his kind. Warriors such as ho merit tho honours due to the heroic dead. So the public feeling ran, and lience it was that the civilian soldiers of the neighbourhood met in martial array to offer to noble dust the tribute of their admira- tion and respect. At five o'clock the street abutting the Conservative Club premises —wherein the body lay-wtiii filled by a huge crowd, colour being lent to the scene by the bright scarlet of the l'iilea and the darker hues of the shakoo'd artillerists. In time tho coffin en- cioaiog the dead hero appeared. It was wrapped in the Union Jack, and bore upon it, besides the usual floral offerings, articlus ot a soldier's uniform. Promptly, and with dus decorum and quietness, the volunteers took up their positions in the saddening procession. When the word of command came the firing party tt the van—with rifles reversed and with heads bowed down-n-commanced the sorrowful march to the tomb. Opened out in two lines, having a wide space between, they started. Then the dirgeful, melancholy strains of the stately "Oead March," with its half-articulate wail of despair, with ita tenderly eweet pasaagea sug- gestive of hope, trustful and confident, with its almost fierce insistent notes, jubilant and triumphant, broke the silence, and playod upon the heartstringa of the multitude there aasembled. Above the mellowad music of the instruments and the clatter of wheels and horaea' hoofs rose the sharp clink of the many teat a* they moved in tuneful unison over th<i hard road. With slow, measured tread the volun- teers, spread out in the two tbin long files, passed into the main thorough- fare between the public pressing upon tbem line upon line. In this way, with downcast faces and heavy, deliberative tread, the soldiers, civilian and prolomiarmi-for the procession in- cluded half a dozen veterans who bad seen fights by land and sea-slowly made their way to the church, where a ebort service took place. Above the .r.Io obedience to traditional usagea--the firing party shot off their volleys, and thua proclaimed to all that a soldier had ended his earthly warring, and that the book of his life, with all its glorious pages, was closed for ever in this world.

THE CHAPEL DISPUTE IN CARMARTHENSHIRE, CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS. Tht application of Ut. Owtn, the minister, and his seven trustees for an injunction to restrain the six opposition trustees from interfering with Hermon Chapel and the ordinary eourae of public worship therein until the hearing of the action pending between the parties was to have been heard in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on Friday. When the time fixed for the application arrivsa Mr. Justice Stirling aaid that in the present state of the busioeea of the court it must be postponed. The learned couuael on the plaintiff's side asked to have the matter decided now, if possible, on the grounds of urgency. The Judge asked why the matter wa* considered particularly urgent. The counsel said that owing to the conduct of the defendants the regular aervice of the chapel bad been discontinued for several Sundays past. It was etated that during this period the minister had been holding his services at a farm- house. The Judge said that if the minister felt it to be the proper thing to hold services on three or four Sundayaata farmhouse there could be no great harm &m doing it again. Therefore he thought, this could not ba properly called a case of urgency. The matter was then postponed, but will pro- bably come on again very shortly.

AN UNREHEARSED INCIDENT I AT CARDIFF. THE AMATEUR QUEEN. I In con.action with the circus, some amusing records are to be found. Mr. C. W. Montague, a well-known agent, related to the author of Circus Life" several mirth-provoking incidents which had come under his notice. On one occasion the equestrian aptcucte, Knilworth." was got up at Cardiff, and among other "supers" required W&$ an imposing female to impersonittit the Queen. A suitable person was discovered in a greengrocer's shop, and she ultimatelv consented to play the part. The first representation paused off success- fully, but after it vvas over Mr. Ginnett, the pro. prietor of the circus, rushed up to the manager, saying," There is that confounded woman sitting on her throne still," and, sure enough, in the middle of the ring sat the Queen in solitary gran- deur, beisg pelted with orange peel by the occu. pants of the gallery. After one of the grooms had been sent in to bring her off it transpired that the Earl of Ltictittr, who should have led her out, told her, for a joke, to stay until she was sent for, directions which the Queen obeyed to the letter.- Illustrated Sporting and JJi amatic AlttLes.

THE SMAHj-PUX EPIDEMIC AT GELLIGAER. At an adjourned meeting of the Rural Sanitary Authority of the Merthyr Union held on Satur- day under the presidency of Mr. Jenkin Mathews,an exhaustive report upon the history of the small- pox epidemic in the parish of Gelfigaer was sub. mitted by the medical officer. He stated that from the commencement of the outbreak 35 cases had ariseo. No fresh etues had occurred since the 20m ef April. The patients in the temporary hospital were well, and would probably be able to leave in the course of the enauiijg week. Ho suggested that the hospital ohould be permanently cltab- lished. Had there been such an institution ready to reftivo the first case he believed the disease would have been stamped out at once, but, unfor. tunetely, it had a start of 31 daya, and, conse. quently, it became very difficult to overtake.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR TENBY. TWO OFFICERS WAYLAID AND ROBBED. THREE ARRESTS. I A daring highway robbery was reported to the Bead-constable of Ifonby oq Saturday to hare been committed noar the town at an early hour that morning. We have been enebl#d to gather the following particulars;—On Friday night a large invitation ball was given at the Royal Asaembly Room*, T*nby, by Colonel Trafford, a visitor to Tenby, to which the ofliceris of the Sod Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment, stationed at l'embroke Dock, were invltod, amongst whom were Lieutenant Saunders and Lieutenant Wiley. The bell did not break up until about three a.m., and soon afterwards these two ofticers started in their dog-cart for the twelve-mile drive that separatee Tenby from l'embroke Dock, taking what it known os tho Lower-road front one town to the other. Titty had proceeded aa far aa the Causeway Mill—a spot familiar to visitors and resi- dents at Tenby lor its picturesque appearance. This mill and a ruiued cottage stand at the fool of Gumfreeton Hill-a lonely spot possessing all the advantages for a surprise and attack. The officers had just p&tmed the cottage when three men rushed upou the vcene. One seized the liorse by 11)0 head, aud the others coin- manded-iii true highway liariance-ttie occupant* to stand and deliver. This demand was resisted, but in the eud their resistance wallot no avail, for the robbers succeeded in abstracting the watch belonging to Lieutenant Wiley, whilst the other seized the carriage rug, Bnd then all throe decamped, making across tho fields in tho direction ot the follv, and so to the Narbarth-ro,&d. Considerably scared at what had occurred, the officers resumed their journey, and soon after- wards met a Tenby carriage returning from Ivy Tower, whither the driver had been taking a fare after the ball. A mes. sage was sent to lIead-conatabla Cdtr, of the Tenby police toi-ea, acquainting him ot the occur- rence, aud steps were at once taken to make the matter known. During tha day it was repotted that three men had been apprehended between Pembroke und Tenby 011 the charge ot being the robbers. Much excitement was manifested over the event during Saturday in Ten by, where both Ule gentlemen are well knowu.

THE STRIKE AT THE ALBION I COLLIERY. SIX HUNDRED MEN PAID OIF. I 'the 600 men on strike at the Albion Colliery, near Pontypridd, were paid oft on Saturday, and there appenrs as yet no prospect of a settlement of the dispute. It seems that on Friday some of the mec's representatives waited upon Mr. Lewie, the manager, to ascertain whether any concession might be expected from the proprietors, and the reply given was that such a thing was not to be thought of. Owing to the strained relations of masters aud men, it was thought advisable to have a force of police in tllu vicinity of the colliery offices during the pay time oa Saturday, but there was not the slightest disturbance.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN A I PIT AT TREDEGAlt. On Friday evening a youth named David Kees Price, residing with his parents in Charles-street, Tredegar, mut with Ii shocking accident. Wiiilst engaged underground at badwoljty Pit, the pro- perty of the Tredegar Iron Company, the unfortu- nate youth was knocked down by a number of trams, which passed over hi6 legs. His head was altio severely bruised. The tiurterer was conveycd home at once, wheie he lies in a very critical state.

ODDFELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY AT I LLANTWIT MAJOR. Tho St. iltutus Lodge of Oddfellows celebrated its anniversary last week. The day, lortuuately, proved fine. A goodly muster of members assem- bled at the Town-hall, and. headed by the Llantwit Major Brass Band, marched in procession to the Parish Church, where service was held, an appro- priate sermon being preached by the vicar (the Rev. E. Vaughan). At the conclusion of the ser- vice the procession was re-formed, and marched through the town down to the sea. Returning to the Town-hall at 2 30 the members sat down to a substantial dinner, capitally served by Mr. and Mrs. Hopkin, Swan inn. On the removal of the cloth Mr. Councillor Richard Price, The Hayes, who is a native of Llantwit, ind is always ready to further the interests ot the town in any way, was voted to the chair with acclamation. The usual loyal toasts were then given and well received. The principal toasts of the evening were "The Maucheeter Unity," responded to by Mr. T. Mur. gan, who gave a detailed account of the member- ship and finances; The St. Iltutus Lodge," responded to by Mr. J. John, secretary, who traced the progress of the lodge from its formation, with five members, 49 years ago, to the present time, when it numbered over 180 members; "The Town and Trade of Llantwit Major," respon- ded to by Mr. William Davies, who referred to the clay which was abundantlon the aea coast, and which -be thought might be profitably turned to account if a brick-making company were formed bo also spoke very strongly against the recent closing of footpaths, which prevented visitors from enjoying much of the beautiful scenery around and the toast of "The Chairman," which was enthusiastically received with musical IlOl1our.-Mr. Piice, in responding, expressed his great pleasure at being present, and gave a hand- some donation towards the funds.—Amongst other visitors present were Mr. Digby Nichol, The Ham, Mr. Vachell, Dr. Dixon, &c.

THE PROPOSED CABSTAND AT WHARTON- STREET. TO THC KDlTOB Of THE WESTEEM MAIL." SIB,—I see from your paper that the members of the Cardiff Cabs Committee have decided to remove th, ubetand from the front of the Town- ball, and to place a number of cab. in Wliarton- street. That thoroughfare is excaedingly crowded on Fridays and Saturdays, and when Messrs. Howell's sew shop is opened there it will be still more congested. Our own premises are also shortly to be enlarged, and a new and very important department added to tho business we are already doiug. Under these circumstances, we venture to suggest to the cabs committee that they may well re-con- gider their decision before inflicting what would be a substantial injury upon ourselves and other large mtepayerki. If it be necessary to movtJ the cabstand from St. Mary-street, why not place it in the lower part of the liaye,4, where there is much tnore room and not nearly as many people paasin ( —We are, &c., —We are, &c., DAVID JONES AND CO.

MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL SUPPORTING CRIME. TO TKtf MHTOtt OR THE WEliTkXN MAIL." 1a,-1 find tbllt it is tbe intention ot some ministers of the Gospel of Christ to present an address to the ex-Prime Minister, or, as the Grand Old Separatist is called these days, the Second Jesus Christ. It would be more appropriate for these to call themselves ministers of the gospel of Gladstone, tbe gospel of disintegration. It is a pity to see those who ought to be in the strictest sense of the word peace-makers supporters of crime in Ireland. These men ought to be ashamed of them- selves in giving a helping band to the devil to battle against Christianity. Our Saviour, the Apostles, and true ministers of the Gospel teach us to be peacoful towards nil, to lovo one another, and respect the law of the land, even the laws of a despotic government like Nero's—howjmuch wore the laws of a democratic government like ourai* How ridiculous it is for a minister of the Gospel to support robbers, murderers, and dyna- mi tarda. Let these ministers consider what they are doing in supporting the disturbers of the peace.-I am, kc., A DISSENTING MINISTER WHO DUKS NOT Swansea. WORSHIP GLADSTONE.

THE POPE AND THE SEPARATISTS TO Tall NDITIOR OF THM WfcSXEBN MAIL." Siit.-What havo the Separatists to say now after havicc a. ttMoo from Home ? There are many ofthl ?p taking upon t"emseJye, to be membereof the true Churchof Ubhtt. while they say that the Church of Rome is out of the pale of the true Church. Granting this, is it not absurd to find members of the true Church doing their utmost to undermine the very foundation of society, while the head of the Church of Rome is teacbin thaIawlor commlJneeoae and Christianity to the POOPIG ? I say to the Pope, "Well done." Be has proved himself a man of sound common sense, and that is what the Separatists, great and small, are deficient in. The Pope has condemned the Plan of Campaign and Boycotting, while Glad- stone and his followers are supporting them. I wish to ask. Which of these are the true Christians-the Pope and his followers or the Grand Old Disintegrator and his followors ? Gladstonism tvrsus Unionism is a disgrace to civilisation and Cliriatianity.-I am, &c., Gower. SUPPOKthR OP COMMON SEXSt:.

THE SALVATION AKMY AND THE SWEATING SYSTEM. TO THK EDITOR OF TH £ "WESTERN WAIL, Siit,-It is reported in the daily papers of Inst niglitand this morning that the Rev. W, Adamson, vicar of 8t. Paul'#, Old Ford, stated before the Lord&' committee on thB "sweating svsiem yesterday that tb. Salvation Army bad oHered to make matchboxes at 20. per sroM, that th't ?as done by the direction, or uDder the orders, nf "General" Booth, and that "male and female members of the Army lived in barracks doing this work. Will you allow me to slate in your valuable paper that the above, together with similar state- menta as to laundry work, are absolutely without foundation in every particular ? We have never either made or offered to make matchboxes; indeed, the rev. gentleman's evidence, so far as the Salvation Army is concerned, is a fabrication from beginning to end.—I am, tc W.

SIR JOHN LUBBOCK'S EARLY CLOSING HfLL TO THE FDyrou of Tag WtSTEBS MUL" SIH,-1 CAn Dot belp thinking that very many members of Parliament who voted against the above measure* knew very little of the fact, of the case. They have not been behind the scenes. If they had, perhaps, some of the speeches made against the measure would not have been of so random a character. Of caur", it is ver?oaov to think tbat the matter can be settled by calling a meeting of shopkeepers, but there is always a con- temptible minority who will obstinately object, and thereby keep those establishments open whose owners are willing to close. The experience of the majority is that, un- less the State steps in and Interferes, this abominable system of (hop slavery will never cease. Here Is Cardiff, where the majority of assistant* work from thirteen to fourteen hours per day, and on Saturdays, whan the working man is enjoying his half-holiday, the poor shop- assistant* have to work until midoigbt. The working classes are looked after in every way, but the shop-assistant* are at the mercy of their masters. If they should at all complain they are discharged, and there is always a number ready to take their places. Professional experience as iven by Sir Walter FOiter as the resilt of long hours is far more weighty than the frivolous objection raised by Niessio.Bradlaugband Co. I aa pleased to state that the petition in favour of the above Bill obtained in Cardiff over 2,DDOaignatures. -1 am, &c., CARDIFF GROCER'S ASSISTANT.

In reply to applications he sent out. circulars representing hhuaU as an agent for a large undertaking, and demanding lee of 5«. A large number of postal orders was thus obtained. The defence was that the accused was endeavouring to win a wager, not to defraud. He w" found guilty, but released on sureties for good behaviour.

The Ubulattd timo for eacit pitieut. he admitted, was halt a nunute, but, that question had been thoroughly threshed out by the committee, and It was pointed out that thero was a largo number of ca"<s that would not take a aocond or so. Tne CHAIRMAN- pointed out that the mortality in the houso last year was 196, ot which only 24 died of natural decay, so that ubout 170 suffered from disease.

SWANSEA AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. The lettera sent to the Swansea. borough mem. beltl-Slr Busaay Vivian and Mr. Djllwyn-by tlie corporation, giving them a gentla hint II. to the importance of the inclusion of 8wansoa amongst the "counties of towns" in the now Local Government Bill, has evoked a reply trom Sir Gussey Vivian, which proves that the claim* of Swansea have by no means been overlooked. There are notices on the paper of the House from both members, asking for the conatitution of Swansea aa a county under the Act, and everything is being done, by representations to Mr. Ritchie and in other ways, to ensure the adoption ot the tuggestion. That Swansea, with its two members, can lay just claim to the distinction is unquestionable. The statements which have been made by the Cardiff borough member with regard to the success of his efforts have created soma sensation in Swansea, Sir Huseey's letter goes far to prove that no pro- mises of any kind have yet been made by Mr. Ritchie to favour one town over the other, and that the effect of Sir E. J. Reed's efforts has been, as usual, over-estimated, und may be claused with many other of his platform utterances.
