A STREET BRAWL. I At the Cardiff police-court this afternoon— before Mr T. W. Lewis, Stipendiary—two sea- named Peter Blacken and John Donovan, ^ere summoned for assaulting a man named lyau, the two prisoners and a brother of Donovan's being further charged with assaulting a cabdriver named Fourne, on .he same day.—Mr George David prosecuted, and pointed out that the prisoners appeared to have harboured a gOod deal of ill-feeling against Bryan, who some weeks ago gave evidence against ? man named Burke, charged with hose stealing, and who had been a friend of the Prisoners. They knocked Bryan down at the corner of Sophia-street, and afterwards turned ,°Uncl on Fourne. The htter, however, defended bI,4'self vigorously, giving John Donovan an ugly low on the forehead with a bunch of keys he "eld in his hand. This formed the basis of a cross Simons issued by Donovan against Bryan and bourne. Donovan stated tht Bryan came and aked him for a match, and he said he hadn't one' and thereupon Bryan replied that he (I)->novan) might give him a civil &l'-vver. This he said, led to words, Which were ft 'lowed up with blows on either side, "hen Fourne coming up struck him on the head *ith a sharp instrument.—The Stipendiary, how- believed the evidence of Bryan and Fourne, nd characterised the conduct of Blacken, who had Pryan on the ground, as cowardly in the extreme. ille sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment, ^th hard labour, without the option of a fine. f(':hn Donovan, he said, appeared to have fought alrly, but had no justification for it. He would be fined 40s and costs, or one month's imprison- ent, with hard labour and Andrew Donovan, ho at first had attempted to prevent the disturb- ance, but had afterwards assisted the prisoners, \Vas fined 20s and costs, or one month's imprison- ent, in view of the fact that there were several "vious convictions against him.

A YEAR'S OFFENCES AT NEWPORT. The Head Constable of Newport County borough has just compiled a yearly report for Presentation to the Watch Committee. The Indictable offences number 88, and the persons Proceeded against summarily 1.937. The order and more serious category showed 9,11 increase of 12 as compared with the Preceding year and the latter a gratifying decrease of 320. Drunkenness increased 24. The). :comrnnni ty is, however, clearly pro- gressing with the rest of the kingdom towards greater sobriety, for 20 years ago (1871) the cases drunkenness were 1 to 56 of the population, J'hilst for the year just concluded the proportion has lessened to 1 to 123, over 100 per cent, less.

MARRIAGE A FAILURE IN THIS I CASE. At the Newport borough police-court, to-day, George Price was charged with assaulting his wife ;4]ad child. On Saturday afternoon prisoner, who had been at work at Aberbeeg, came to Newport, where he resides, and was met at the Nation by his wife, and they at once pro- ceeded to "words," the wife being in a bad Way because her husband did not come home earlier. On arriving at their abode, the husband, discovering that a considerable quantity of the furniture had been sold, struck his wife, Who had their ten-months' old child in her arms, and the child received a blow on the head. The prisoner now bitterly complained of his wife's drunken habits. The wife, however, said that the furniture she sold had been gi ven her by a sister, and added that she had to sell It for food. This the husband denied. "Ultimately the Bench put an end to the recrimi- nations by fining the prisoner 10s, or the usual alternatl vo of binding him over to keep the peace. As he went below the prisoner declared that he Would not live with the prosecutor again.

ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAY I NEAR NEWPORT. On Saturday evening Frederick Hearn, a Middle-aged man belonging to Risca, was aboard the train from Newport, and did not perceive that he had reached hid destination until the train was again in motion. He then attempted to leave, but was pre- vented by the guard. The man, however, was not to be baulked, and making rush he leapt from the train and alighted on his head, sustain- ing cerious injuries. He was removed to the Newport Infirmary, where he received prompt attention. Henry Mason, of 64, Church-road. Newport, was engaged on tli- railway near Newport, on Saturday, when a gh-der fell upon him fracturing his leg; he was also removed to the Infirmary and detained.

LORD BUTE AND THE COR- PORATION OFFICIALS. 13psirles the presentation to the deputy-Mayor of a silver bowl, Lord Bute, the outgoing Mayor of Cardiff, has made a precisely similar gift to the Town Clerk (Mr J.

An announcement to this effect by Alderman Jacobs at the statutory meeting of the Town \>uncil was received with lively satisfaction, I

r Lord Mayor's Show. UNPROiliTIOUS WEATHER. THE WELSH EMBLEMS. Enthusiastic Reception of the Lord Mayor [SPECIAL TO THE ECHO, J LOXDQN', Monday Afternoon. ine Lord Mayor s procession is now in progress through the City of London. Unfortunately for all concerned the weather is wretched; it has been raining all the morning in the Metropolis. Towards noon the downpour aoate l toahazyfb-izxie and gave rise to hopes that it would cease altogether, but the procession had hardly started just before one o'clock when the rain descended again heavily and steadily, as if with purpose to bedraggle everything. Conse- quently the show is much marred. The crowds, though very large, are not nearly so dense as is usual in the strect on the 9th November. The shop and oftice windows are, of course, filled to their utmost capacity, but the sentiments of these comfortable spectators are a.s much those of commiseration as of admiration, for the procession- ists are having a very nasty timeof it. Theregular troops that are participating are mostly warmly cloaked, which, of course, hides much of their dnery, but several of the volunteer corps, and most notably the boys of some cadet corps, are marching without greatcoats, and must be soaked to the skin. Besides the usual features of the show-such as tire brigades and engines, a fully- equipped lifeboat, the watermen with their banners, the representatives of the City Guilds with banners, the lipping Forest Rangers, and the military corps and bands—there are five great cars, drawn each by six horses, and bearing groups of emblematical personages. Two of these groups are illustrative of London and three of Wales, the latter being in allusion to the place of nativity of the new Lord Mayor. These cars are attract- ing a great deal of attention, and eliciting much applause. The first is emblematical of the Guilds and C.ty of London Institute, with the processes of wood carving, turning, modelling, and drawing going on upon it. The second represents Green- hithe, the ancient port of London, with a model of an Elizabet-hian ship, and with sailors, porters, sheaves of grain and packages of tobacco. The third car is emblematical of Wales with Welsh girls in ancient and modern costumes accompanied by bards and druide. The tall hats of the girls were the objects of much admirationn and attention, and as the faces under them were of the prettiest, the quamt head- gear was well set off. The fourth car was illus- trative of Welsh industry, iron, coal, and slate having been chosen us its repre- sentatives. This was closely scaned by the spectators, and many and hearty were the cheers that greeted its occupants, and also the half- dozen miners who trudged on stolidly behind, with picks on shoulder and axe in hand, as if mud, rain and chill were trifles to them. The last car was a very ambitious attempt to represent E lward the First presenting the first Prince of Wales to the Welsh chieftaing.at the King's Gate of Carnarvon Castle. The costumes were of the thirteenth century, and the car was accompamed by soldiers ia Crusaders attire, but in such weather there grandeur was greatiy dimmed. Following all his came the civic dignitaries, and last of all the Lord Mayor in his state chariot, a gorgeou vehicle, weighing, it is said, three tons, with every panel covered with beautiful em- blematic painungs, ind drawn by six horses with heavy trapping's, postilions attended by his chaplain, sword-bearer, and mace- bearer, the State band of the Royal Horse Guards playing in front of the chariot, and it was escorted by a troop of the 17th Lancers. His lordship had a most cordial recep- tion everywhere. The Welshmen resident in the Metropolis were most enthusiastic in their demonstrations, these taking in some cases a rather comical form. One overjoyed individual was observed in Fleet-street holding out a long fishing-rod with a bundle of leeks at the end of it, but everything good humoured is tolerated on this day. At the Law Courts the Lord Mayor, having been sworn in before the Lord Chief Justice, invited the judges to his banquet, and then returned to thb Guildhall. The route of the procession was a lol;g one. The Lady Mayoress and her maids of honour joined the procession on the Embankment, on the return journey. THE RIGHT HON. DAVID EYAS, LORD MAYOR. Mr David Evans is the son of the bte Mr Tiiomas Evans, of Glamnychyd, and was born in Glamorganshire on April 21st, 1843. At the age ot seventeen he went to the South of Frame Lo eo,i,iple'?e his e i ,c I complete his education. In 1368 ho entered the linn of Richard Evans and Co., warehousemen, of W atling-street, and on attaining his majority was elected a partner in the firm, lie is now the Solci partner. He was first electcd to the Common Council in 1874, for the ward of Cordwaiuer, and at a more recent period was returned for the I neighbouring ward of Castle BaYl-iai-cl as alder- man. In 1835 he was elected senior Sheriff of London, ;n conjunction with Mr Thos. Clarke, and during his year of office the Colonial Exhibition was opened by the Queen, and the foundation stone of trio new Tower Bridge was laid by the .?e was laid by the ¡ Prince of Wales. In this year also were fought two general elections. Ho was presented by his employees in Watbng-sti*eot with a silver eporgno as a souvenir of his Shrievalty. He is a. Con- servative in politics, a member of the Ilaber- dashers, the Borderers, and the Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers' Companies. He lives at Ewell Grove, and until last year was Master of the Surrey Earmei's Staghounds. He is a justice of the peace for his native county of Glamorgan- shire. It is nearly a hundred years sintfe a elshuian was elected Lord iVLayor of London. TO-NIGI-IT'S BANQUET AT THE GUILDHALL. The general character of the design for the card of invitation to to-night's banquet at the Guild- ball is Welsh. The arms of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs occupy the upper part of the herder, which bears the leek; the dragon and other emblems of Wales around it, with oak leaves and acorns. The arms of the companies to which the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs belong also appear in tho border. At the foot are the City arms and supporters, to the right and left are .shown views of the Guildhall and St. Paul's, while engraved vignettes of Baynard's Castle, Carnarvon Castle, Caidiff Castlo, and the Tower of London are placed on the four sides of the diamond-shaded wnath containing the wording of the invitation. The wreath itself is made up of the frefoil, barley onkleaves, and i-a I to the seasons, The corners are occupied by the Prince ot Wales's feathers, the Welsh harp, and the anus of Wales and Glamorganshire, the latter being the Lord Mayor's native county.

AMUSEMENTS. I Cardiff Theatre Royal. I Still another strong attraction is announced by .[. Ki \\ad Flelcner for his patrons this week. It is liuy Bias, the popular burlesque, which is to be produced by Auguste Van Biene's company. The performance may be relied upon for all- round excellence, the company being a specially- selected combination of clever artistes. These include Miss Millie Marion as Ruy Bias, Mr W. Louis Bradfieid as Don Cassar, Mr Harry i'hydora as the Court Physician, Miss Constance Bellamy as the Queen of Spain, Miss Gracie V leatas Don Pedro, Miss Cissy Fitzgerald as Donna Chri-tina, &c. The burlesque is finely aged and dressed, and the chorus a strong one. Empire (Cardiff). I The programme of amusement provided for the paLiuns ot Uns well-managed place of eritertaill-I in en t during the ensuing week is certainly very enticing. It will, for instance, be an agreeable treat to hear the brilliant soprano, Miss Yeamans, j who intends to revive in our memories some of those charming old balbds which have stood the test of years, and which the best of modern com- 1) ?ser,? can never eclipse. Miss Yeamans comes to us with a. splendid reputation, and the management deserve every congratulation for this additional proof of enterprise. Mr T. L Titus, R A.M., accompanies Miss Yeamans m each of her songs. A hearty ia-ugh may be anticipated in the appear- ance of Messrs O'Connor and Brady, styled the rib ticklers," and the." turn." of Miss Sophie May will also be awaited with interest. The Three Castles" are well known on the variety stage, ;tn,t a more effective trio could scarcely be desired. Mr Ka-iiuar, the ventiiloquialcomedian, has been engaged for the second week, and Miss Bella Willing and Signor Boreiii, the vocalist and instrumentalist, may be relied upon to please the j most critical. The Empire (Newnortv I r Mr Frank H. Celli, from the Call Rosa Opera is announced to appear at this theatre I during the week, and the iNewport people will doubtless give him a good reception. The engage ) ment of such capable artistes reflects great creait on the management, whose t-fforls to win the confidence and support of the theatregoing public cannot fail to be rightly appreciated. Miss Lillie Vento, the burlesque actress, singer, and dancer La Belle Lemoros, the celebrated gymnast; and thecharmingand versatile-songstress Miss Ada Rippon are also included in the list of attractions, and Mr George Lashwoqd and the ventriloquist Veuto are amongst the speciali- ties. L;iit, but not least, comes the Sisters Presti n, whoso character singing and artistic dancing created such a furore Cardiff last week.

CARDIFF. I A TfCHiTECTriRK.—Mr George Thomas, of tha weil-Knowi firm of Seward and Thomas, has been elected a Fellow of the Surveyors' Institution. A MUSICAL KVENING.—On Thursday evening last the memoers of the Younp1 People's Guild in connection with St. Paul's Congregational Church, Seville-street, hi-d a musical evening, which was f lirly well attended. The pastor (the Rev J. H. Walker), president of the guild, ably conducted the meeting. Solos and duets were rendered by members of the society, assisted by Miss Campion, R. A.M., who delighted the audi- ence with her giilee and shi 1. A banjo and pianoiorce duet by Messrs Drew and U'oodthorpe ■ was lvli alld justly merited the eucure it received.

HE DIDN'T LIKE AUSTRALIAN BEEF. A young married man named George Morris was ci.arged before the Stipendiary (Mr T. W. Lewis) at the Cardiff police-court, this morning, with being disorderly and causing an obstruction in Cowbridge-roa-I.-Tiie prisoner, who had been out on bail, said that all the trouble had happened through his wife buying some Aus- tralian beef. He didn't like Australian beef, and went to the shop to get his money, but the shopkeeper refused to take the meat back, and when remonstrated with he called in a policeman. He had never been locked up before.—The Stipendiary cautioned him not to create any more disturbances, and allowed him to go free.

SPORTING NOTES. I By George Frederick. I Racing in South Wales seems an ill-requited experiment, and what was styled the Cardiff Autumn Meeting proved to be only a miserable repetition of past failures in this respect. After the vast amount of time and energy that is ex- pended by those in authority to make these local gatherings a success, such a dismal outcome of their labours must be depressing in the extreme, but after ad racing, like everything else, must be good in order to be appreciated. This, no doubt, is the secret of the non-success of our lccal fixtures, and it is likely to remain so as long as the game is confined to the illegitimate method, with paltry prizes as a reconi; :se. A good ii-iile race on the flat between ten or a dozen compati- I tors creates more interest amongst the public I than a dozen steeplechases, and there seems no { reason why a meeting on the lines of the Liver- pool November Meeting, half under Jockey C;ub and half under National Hunt Rules, could not be successfully inaugurated over the Ely course. The Leaders, Weever, Jams, Darling, and many other trainers who take some interest in South Wales affairs would very likely lend a helping hand in this direction, and the presence of such horses as SlY Fellow, Magistrate, Prince of Tyre, and other equine celebrities so well-known but never seen in this quarter would be sufficient to draw an immense "gate." Money would be needed certainly, but as a company speculation there would be little need to fear the soundness and ultimate success of a gate meeting under Jockey Club Rules within the Caidin district. This week the Liveipool Autumn Cup is the chief event that has to be decided, and to all appearance the race promises to afford an exciting struggle. As the race is not run until Friday, it is early to prognosticate the probable starters, and cons, -i ckutly two or three of the undermen- tioned may be missing when the starter lowers his fl,g Col.

Jardine's Cavendish, 3y 6ST 31B "Pe:lke Rumours from well-informed quarters are not antagonistic to the claims of Nunthorpe, who may be better suited over the Aintree track than when attempting a greater feat on the Cambridge- shire day. That race, however, presents one of his then rivals in a far more favourable light for the event under notice—Sbancrotha to wit-and it is no easy matter to adopt the theory that the gaunt, doubtfully-bred Camballo or Speculum horse will now be able to turn the tables on the north-country three-year-old. Still the fact that the Jubilee Stakes hero is fancied by his connec- tions is a significant "men not to be lightly dis- regarded, while it may be noted that heavily- weighted animals of good class invariably run prominently for this contest. Lady Rose- bsry won it with 9st. in the spring, consequently Nunthorp&'s claims may not be so forlorn as they appear to ba on the Cambridgeshire running. Probably Col. North's representati ve has become a bit stale, having battled continuously from the opening scenes at Lincoln up to the present moment; but, for all that, a good many shrewd judges are sceptical as to the wisdom of ignoring the winning prospects of the St. Gatien House representative. Newmarket people, on the whole, prefer Alicante of the top weights, but the French mare will have to be in her smartest form to win with Sst. 121b. That she has regained thenieritshedisplayed when she carried off the Cambridgeshire last year is the opinion of most racing critics at headquarters, but, at the same time, the daughter of Hermit has been under suspicion for so long a. time that no great amount of confidence can be expressed as to her winning chance. She ran well for the Lancashire Plate, no doubt-, but Signorina sub- sequently nullified that form to such an extent that no great reliance can be placed on that per- formance. Besides, the withdrawal of Martagon, who finished a long way in front of Alicante at Manchester, lends colour to the assumption that in Alloway Ryan has satisfied himself that he possesses the key to the situation as for as Alicante is concerned, and consequently it may be taken for granted that Al!oway's credentials mnst be better than those possessed by tha French mare. Leaving the Cambridge- shire cut of sight, Blue-p'reen would represent a winning chance, but the Houghton race betokens the idea that in this instance also Shancrotha holds the trump card. Blue-green, however, is better at the weights than Gone Coon, so that if th,3 race goes Kingscloro way it will be by the aid of the former. Lady Rosebery is too near the top of the handicap for this company, while no greet encouragement exists to favour her stable- companion, Lyrffield. Both Buccaneer and Melody are nicely treated, but the seem to have lost that dash which characterised com- mendable. performancesearlior in the year. Alice has too much weight, and it is hopeless to look with a kindly eye on Belmont, clever as Captain over Ai.elll. Miss Dollar, Burna by, and Red Eagle, on the other hand, have a smack cf danger about their names, though recent form is hardly suggestive of either being good enough to win. Mervyn is another candidate with a flavour of danger, between whom and Madame D'Aioany it should be a near Oil their Manchester running. The latest and best public form unquestionabty belongs to Coromandel, and without paying heed to the rumours as to her supposed inferiority to Madame D'Albany, it is difficult to see where the conqueror of the Old Cambridgeshire Stakes winner is to hail from. I can only suggest that if beaten the most likely lot to effect the over- throw of the Manton mare may lie. mentioned in Nunthorpe, Heremon, Shane:otha, and Caven- dish, and were it not that the latcei had exhibited form of the most curious character throughout the year, 1 "honld say that Sir R. Jardine's colt ought as nearly as possible to win. Whether to keep him on the right side or to ignore him however, a difficult question to decide, and inny be deferred till later on. There is but scant atten- tion paid to the remaining candidate', Rosebery Oespatch, and selecting three out of the fi,, u mentioned above my ciioice would rest on Nun- thorpe, Shancrotha, and Coromandel. A commencement will be made at Leicester to- dity, wlien some good lipids are anticipated the majority of the events, and probably one or two of the following horses may succeed in scoring winning brackets :— Stakes—TROJAN. 2.10—Quorndon Piatt—Run (JKNT. 2.40— Humberstone Nursery- BLOCK LEY. 3.10-Town III-.ite-Toy or PROTECTiONIST. :z..4C-Silel>y Plah,-Qn:ns. 4.10—Glen Parva Welter—ST.

I CARDIFF DOCKS. I The New Project. It will ba noticed that a local contemporary, in its issue of this morning. c,)nfirni, tl,,eaiitic)i-.ncc-- ment made in these columns on October 22nd to the effect that the Bute Dock Company propose to construct a new dock to the east of the old low- water pier. The additional fact mentioned is that the new dock will be a practical adoption of Abernethy's scheme."

THE STRIKE ON THE WHARVES. At a meeting in London on Sunday of the men on strike at the Carron and Hi-rwunge Wiiarves, Mr Orbell, organiser of the Dockers' Union, announced that he had received instructions from Mr Ben Tiliett to carry on the dispute, and to pay the men stnke lity as long as it lasts. Mr Orbell on Saturday had an interview with the manager of the Carron Company, and asked him to reinstate all the men on strike. Mr Robertson refused to discharge any of the Frc" labourers who had been loyal to the company.

London Gossip. London .Gossip. I The London correspondent of the Souik I Wales Dai-y iS'eics, telegraphing last night, says Grave Condition 0; the Police. feorae clays <1.£;0 J. referral to certain m"ll.er, in 0011110011011 with the an police force VTIUCH, MUIOH^ the hi^licr authorities, are a cons^uerable amount of anxiety. One of the London evening papers has since) when pubnshin? some remarks on its own account, acknow- led?edm?Hhetirst intimation on ?hesubiect; appeared ;Q tnese coiumns. lll' :n:.er IS a very ?icuic one to re f er to, but I ?.? be very to mi' s'jrp?se d if disclosures are n o befoi,e. Ion'4' Wiiicu will the C, of a very rotten state of airairs in the higher branches ot t ;,i toree watch may result in criminal procueciings, or, at all events, call for the appointment of a Parhameiitaiy Commission to mnke a thorough investigation with a vieW to oil. At the present time the force is tied up to the extent uf help- by the red tape or the Foreign Oiiiee, and the Commissioner, no matter how able an administrator lie may be, is practically powerless to deal with existing and growing abuses. For the present it is impossible to I go into the details of the supposed scandal which is being talked about in certain circles. Literary Censorship in Russia, I The Riissian Government is evidently apprehensive that the famine will lead to a recrudescence of Nihilist outrages, and consequently the Press Censor is more than usually active in preventing the dissemina- tion of any literature which even indirectly reflects on the Czar or the oihcial authorities. Quite recently a number of English papers have had portions of their con- tents" blacked out," and the author of "Guilty Bonds," which deals in part with the Kihibt movement, yesterday received an official communicUion from the Russian Am- bassador in London stating that the cen- sor of the Press Bureau in St. Petersburg had decided that the work cannot be circul- ated in graciously adding that the one copy of the work which was forwarded by him will be returned if he desires it." Nothing, however, is said of the return of a large parcel of the books which had previous- -s w l )lc l i lia(l preN--lous- ly been sent to a firm of Russian publishers, but which never reached its destination and was evidently confiscated. A Smoker" at. the Press Ciub. I Lt is a sure sign that winter is upon us when the Ciub sm:king concerts, which have become such a feature in recent years, are recommenced. Probably the best enter- tainments of this kind to be found in London at the present time are those given by the Pres" Club. The season was inaugu- rated last night with the usual dinner, and at theconcert whidl followed there was a wealth of musical talent. To mention only a few, there were Mr Robert Martin, the author of "Ballihooly" and other well-known songs Mr Howard Reynolds, our greatest cornet player Mr John Payne, one of the best of our English violinists, to say nothing of Mr Sydney Pridmore, who had a splendid reception for a budget of new tricks more marvellous than anything he has done before. Mr Harry Ward, a baritone who is well-known in the provinces, was also there, as well as Mr Ben Nathan and a dozen other well-known artistes, including Mr Charles Compton, Mr Robert Ganthony, Mr W. R. Bennett, and Mr (,'a,itlioiiy, -Air W. 1". Beriiie-Lt, and ?Ir The Imported Meat Trade. The remarkable growth in the imported meat trade is shown by the increased accom modation which has to be provided for the reception and storage of frozen meat from Australia and New Zealand. Refrigerating stores are now in course of construction at Black friars capable of storing 235,000 sheep. The extent of the building can be gathered from the fact that the frontage on the "'n mes is nearly 200 feet in length. These is ne,,?i-ly 2D) fe?-? -n len.-rcii Ti-?ese vnii"Ii have ever been built. As the bulk -of the meat which is thus imported and stored is probably disposed of in the Metro- polis and a short distance, around, it is more man likely that much of the article which is sold 1S ritish mutton is of foreign birth ,,??ld as ii of birt-1, The Free Library Commissioners. The Conn,> ,inners appointed to carry out the Frea Libraries Acts in the Metro- polis are not perhaps the most dis- pol I-; are e I i? t (I s the world to couioile an Index E:purg.ttonus. Their a:jua"tanco whh ge'u-vat literature is not always sufficiently extensive to enable them to form a opinion, though, at the same time, it must be admitted in their favour that they are often burdened with offers of lv<oks which are simply refn.se. One of the North h--ndon libraries has just deckled not to accept a present made by the wife of one of the Commissioners compriing the works of Mr Bradln.rgh, Colonel Tngersoil, and others. It' they thought Secularist litc-rnittre "should not be put on the shelves their ae* ion would be logical enough, though it might be open to objection, but if it- be true that they rejected Mr George Jacob Holy oak e's History of Co-;>peraron," oil the ground that the author is a well-known Secularist, then their action is indefensible. It is understood that. the books will be offered to another public library so that the question may again be raised. The Schc-ol Board Election. U L There are still a couple of weeks in which the unnecessary Progressive candidates for the London School Board can withdraw, and unless they do so it seems inevitable that the party will be beaten at the poll. In. the best of eondhions the fitdit would be a close one, and with a divided vote the contest would be hopeless for the Liberal side. The bogey" of excessive rates is beins used uuscrupuh usly by the anti- School Board party, whose canvassers are telling the electors that the rate will shortly be 2s in thf £ unless Mr Diggle and his supporters are returned to office. A New and Successful Play. Wit'i success, and even with enthusiasm, "Tr Alexander produced the new play at the St James's last night. It was a surprise to find the pie e built on melodramatic lines or the good old Adelphi type. The scene on which the curtain rose was admirably picturesque. I have never seen a more effective bit that this lovely corral on the Southern Prairie seen under a lurid sky, with the two convicts grouped round their camp fire in the foreground. They are old friends in melodrama, this j p'd". the innocent victim (Mr Alexander) ¡¡lid the scheming accomplice (Mr Waring), Even the inevitable London deLective turns up in these American solitudes, and when the curtain falls it i.s on a struggle and a murder. The acting of this scene was strong, and yet not exaggerated, and the audience were interested, and the pit and the gallery enthusiastic. The other acts brought us to surroundings. The action of the play continued, but the picturesque quality diminished. Mr Gould gave distinction to the part- of the blind. I white-haired Lord Edger.ill, and Marion j Terry was very natural and touching as the young wife. Miss King- ston made quite a hit in her part of a thwarted, vindiciive Ballerina, What a diahlerie rhe woman has about her with those brilliantly piercing eyes and that dry, incisive voice, stagey in her gestures, but always dramatic and arresting. Mr Alex- ander was at once manly and tender. His sincerity held the audience and made the inibecile comic business of the young lovers tolerable. I thought the acting of Lord Annerlei better than the play, but the house wa.s very enthusiastic and the success j undoubted. It was a brilliant house, too. There was Lady Jeune, a constant first nighter, and Mr and Mrs Labouchere. Lord Row-ton, Field-Marshal Haines, Mr and Mrs Gilbert, Mr Baynton, and Mr Henry Arthur Jones. The curtain fell each time f with applause, and Mr Hamilton, as author, answered an enthusiastic cail.

FATAL FIRE AT PERTH. I On Saturday a fire, which resulted fatally, broke out in the Caledonian Railway Company's blacksmiths' shops and gasworks at Perth. The. roof of the building fell in half an hour after th i outbreak, causing two gas boilers to explode. A | vou?Er ni?n n?med James Bail as, who was as- I šishng the firemen, was shockingly injured, and i died ,t the infirmary a few hours afterwards. The whole of the gasworks and part of the hs' shop were destroyed. The origin cl the re .s unknown.

[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE KCHO."I A mass meeting- of the workmen of tht sp, en large collieries belonging to tbe Ocean Company was held this morn- niornnig at the Drill Hall, Pentre, under the presidency of Mr David Thomas, Ton, to take into consideration the proposed prohibition of colliers from working on stoppage occasions and entering the mines in the evening to fill coal at night, i. he building was crowded. Representatives from the Gitrw, Ogmore, and Ynysbwl Collieries were present, and a deputation, consisting of a representative of each colliery, was appointed to wait upon Alderman W. Jenkins, agent cf the collieries, to submit resolutions prohibiting miners from woiKmg when the pits were ldls, unless the ventilation was impeded in v.un-ting places, and demanding 2d per ton aJowance for working when the miners were en- gugt-d tuning coal in other workmen's stalls in the mght.

TO-DAYS MONEY. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] STOCK EXOHANGK. LONDON, OPKNING, 11.20 A.M. As usual on Lord Mayor's Day, business is quiet in trie Stock Markets, while tresh ousmess is also checked by the near approach of the fort- nightly settlement, which will begin to-morrow; and there is also a general disposition to await the course of financial affairs on the Continent. The markets are very depressed on the prepon- derance of sales induced by another bank failure at Berlin, and fears of further diffi- culties rut that centre as well as at Paris. Moreover, an uneasy feeling prevails re- soectinc several houses here. Indeed, a very gloomy view is taken of the immediate future. Consols, however, rule comparatively steady, beu)" only "lower for account, and this is con- sidered reassuring. Rupee Paper better. Foreiem Bonds flat on Continental Sales.

THE SERIOUS ASSAULT AT MAES i tG. RicViavd Stone, stoker, ISTaeste^, who was com- i,i iii, v a czttt..3iiig tti a death of Gomer Griffiths, of Maesteg, the result, it is alleged, of being poked in the eye with an umbrella, was taken before the magistrates at Bricigend on Saturday. The policeman who arrested hiin gave evidence, as also did Dr W. Hopkin of Maesteg, who bore testimony as to the cause ot death. The prisoner was com- mitted for trial at the assizes for manslaughter.

THE SALVATIONISTS AT EASTBOUKNE. On Sunday at Eastbourne the Sa.?at;on Army ha-i their usual professions and outdoor meetings, and met with considerable oppo?jbion frum large crowds, but no instrumental music was attempted. The police were energe?ic in defending the Sal- vationists, who escaped with some rather rough hustling, 'fwo or three attempts were made to capture the Salvation standard, but were un. successful.

THE SHOOTING AFFRAY NEAR MAESTEG. The men who were shot at with a revolver by a man named j>ut t-nll, at Cynimer, near i las teg, on Friday, the 30th ult., were i-gain unable to attend the police-court at Bridgend, on Saturday ast. The accused was again accordingly remanded n custody for a week.

I Newport County Borough I ELECTION OF MAYOR. I The annual meeting of the Corporation of the new county borough was held at the Town-hail at noon. Civic fathers were slow in taking their seats the gallery was packed long before the earliest alderman and councillor appeared. The latest innovation was on the part of a dis- tinguished amateur grower of chrysanthemums, who passed around a basket of the blossoms, and in this way essayed to make the civic fathers lforal. Many, however, had already been button- holed by their gardeners, and displayed late roses, etc., enshrined in maidenhair.— The Mayor, wearing the robes and chain of office, entered the chamber on the last stroke ot twelve, followed by the Town Clerk. He was cordially received, and the business at once got under weigh. Mr T. Jones informc-d the Corpo- ration that he and Mr Parnall on Monday last had returned from a trip to the North Pole—(a laugh)—and that the first time he attended a meeting of the Corporation after his return from these high latitudes he had the privilege of pro- posing a resolution which he now was pleased to submit for the second time. It was that Mr Henry John Davis be elected Mayor for the ensuing year. (Applause.) Thera were circum- stances connected with the proposition which required some passing mention. Mr Alder- man Davis had been a member of the Council for 49 years, and the pre- sent year was the 50th of continuous service. It was not every Corporation who could number amongst its members a gentleman who had sat upon it for haif a century, and be did not think that in the annals of Newport such a thing was likely to occur again. At the present rate of municipal work, he thought town councillors were going to be used up much speedier than that. (Laughter.) Mr Alderman Davis occupied the civic chair in 1851, but at that time the speaker said he was too much engaged in the con- sumption of sweet and sticky substances to be able to offer a criticism of the civic work of that date. No doubt, however, the work was satisfactory, and he felt suro that Alderman Davis would give every satisfaction during the ensuing year, because he had bad great experience, of public business, and was eminently qualified for the position. Mr Jones concluded by tendering the Mayor-elect their sincere and hearty wishes, and that during his year of office he might enjoy good health, and that the work he might inaugurate during the period would be profitable to the town. Alderman LYNE. in seconding the proposition, said it was gratifying that in commencing a new era. in tho annals of municipal history, the Council should have selected as its first Mayor not only its senior alderman but also the oldest member both by ago and by office, (Hear, hear.) He thougnt the ensuing year was especially favourable for the obtaining of a people's park. (Hear, hear. ) Whether it was the right moment to obtain such a boon he did not pretend to say, but he thought no other member of the Corporation than the Mayor-Elect would have greater influence in bringing it abbut. He was confident that what- ever the Mayor could do in that respect he would do. It seemed as if the next year was likely to be a happy one. The opening of the Alexandra Dock extension had been promised by Sir George Elliot for his birthday, and they were aware that that was before the 1st of April. (Laughter.) Fancy also having an important function in connection with the inauguration of a people's park, given by a noble lord. They had been told that Newport had never been honoured by the presence of Royalty. What a grand occasion it would be for the presence of Royalty. There might be UIl- veiled in the park a statun of the Queen, and at the foot of that monument they might have their friends Sir Henry John Davis and Sir George Elliot on either side of the statue like two ram- pant lions—(laughter)—or turtle doves, with the noble lord in the rear looking on with smiling approval and ready with a witty sally. Newport people would gather around at the feet of Sir Henry and cry Long life to our Queen." (Applause.)—The motion was carried by a show of hands unanimously, and after the usual thrice- repeated challenge, the ex-Mayor conveyed the motion to the Mayor-elect, and assisted to robe him. Tho new MAYOB then took the oath, and thanked the Council for the honour, remarking that he felt that the compliment was paid him more in consideration of that being the 50th year of being member of the Council than because of any merit of his own. The proposer and seconder had spoken of him in a kinder way than he de- served. He owed his health and ability to a good Providence, but at the age of 78 years he could not be expected to fulfil the duties 01 theoflice in the same way as lie had been able to when in the prime of life. He felt sure that he should receive a hearty and cordial support in the per- formance of his duties, and he had secured as deputy-mayor Mr Thomas Pugsley, who had been kind enough to say thathe wouid relieve him of clery work. He tllEted that with health and strength he would be abio to perform the several duties devolving upon him, and that he would hand down the official robe unstained to his suc- cessor. His Worship concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the ex-Mayor for his services. Mr MORDEY seconded the vote.and it wasearried. —-The Ex-Mayorjin replying,complimented the in- habitants on the good order they had maintained often Hnder difficulties during the past year, and referred to the establishment of tho scheme of technical instruction as one likely to be great of benefit to the community. ELECTION OF ALDJCKSTEN. I The next bu?m?sH wa.s the Ceotion of five aldermen, the term of ohice of the Mayor, and Aldermen Mose?, J?robs. Btd191or, :md Ho.skins having expired. E?oh gentleman received a I unanimous re-election of 32 votes each, and tne Mayor thanked the Council for restoring himself and his colleagues to the aldermanic dignity. COXTIXUOufi SHOUTING IN THE STJIHKT3. Tha Watch Committee recommended a new bye-law against the continuous shouting or calling out by vendors of coal, newspapers, and matches in the. streets, under a penalty of 4-Os, and this led to a difference of opinion. Mr Lloyd wished the word "persistent" to take the place of conti- nuous but it was decided to leave it to the magistrates to construe the new law fairly. Mr Llewellin, the newly-elected for the Central Ward, made his first speech by decrying the late milk-vendor. who ring-s, and rings, and rings after eleven o'clock on Sunday iiiot-iiiiigs.-Ti-ie bye- law was ultimately adopted.

SALARY OF THE MAYOR OF I CARDIFF. At the annual meeting of the Cardiff Corpora- tion, held at the Town Hall this morning- Alderman T. Rees (the newly-appointed Mayor) presiding—the question of the Mayor's salary was discussed.—Alderman Cory said the salary last year was £750, and he had pleasure in moving that the amount be the same this year. Councillor Parker said it should be clearly under- stood that £ 400 of the salary went to the College. lie seconded the resolution with that understand- ing. -Allerrran Sanders supported. He agreed that it should be understood, and thought it would be better to vote the Mayor's salary separately and pay the interest money to the College afterwards.—Councillor F. J. Beavan said he preferred the Mayor's salary of £ 350 should be voted now, and the contribution to the College paid over afterwards.—Alderman Dafid Jones explained that when it was proposed to start the College, the Council proposed to contri- bute E10,000 for buildings. The capital sum had not been required, but the Council paid over the interest on the money, £ 4-00 a year, to the Col- lege.—The Mayor's salary of £ 350 was passed.

THE MURDER IN COUNTY CLARE Comniittai for Perjury. The Ennis correspondent of the Express states tha Catherine McNamara, the widow of a farmer who was murdered in his own house at Ruan, county Clare, was on Saturday committed for trial for perjury. At a secret inquiry under the Crimes Act she denied that she had told the doctor, the land agent, and the police that she knew her husb?»ud:s murderers, and would prose- cute them. Her son has already been committed on a similar charge. I ■"

It is stated he has two still bigger boys and three children not found, and he assorts lie is going to get two more destitute wiaubs next

A SURPRISE AT NEWPORT. James Granville, a seaman, was charged at the Newport borough police-court with being aboard the ss. Abora for an unlawful purpose. Prisoner on coming over the side of the vessel yesterday morning was received by a harbour police- man, who enquired his business aboard, and on hearing that he had been sleeping there during the night took him into custody.—The Magistrates' Clerk, although the prisoner bore a bad character, and was stated to have been sleeping aboard vessels at the docks for the past six weeks, was averse to a conviction, and ruled that sleeping was not an unlawful cffence.—Pri- soner was thereupon discharged, hot th"re was a surprise in store, for the magistrates' clerk requested the police t" re-arrest Granville on a warrant charging him with assaulting his sister, and the disappointed seaman was marched back to the cells, there to remain until Wednesday's sitting.

AN ACT OF FOLLY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. I At the Cardiff police-court this morning, T'lilen Davies was charged—before Mr T. W. Lewis (stipendiary)—on remand with being drunk on The Hayes Bridge and with breaking a pane or glass, value J34 4s, in the door of the Cambrian HoteJ, the property of Robert Wiltshire. The case had been adjourned to give tho prisoner an opportunity of paying for the damage she had done. The money was not forthcoming, and Inspector Havward said she had made no effort to get it. The Stipen- diary said she would have to suffer the conse- quences of her foolish act. He would fine her Is and costs, zCl 4s damage, or in default one ironth's imprisonment.
