ION DON CORRESPONDENCE. LONDON, Saturday Gvimiro, [ jui :cld on good authority that Sir Garnet fiieley will not go back to Cyprus, but will be fl&i upon the new Army Committee, whijh ia t i-nniro into the question of reoruiting, short jriiw, the use of the reserves, the replacing c coo commissioned officers, and the main- l^sce of battalions at their proper ffggtb, and whioh is probably to inolude In tUlllbere Sir Daniel Lyeons, Sir Patrlok jTomsII (from Canada), General EUioe, Sir Igloo fctavelay, and perhapa Lord Waveney. t far as I can learn, the personnel of the Com. 0" is not yet dud; it will be a numerous ft and it will make a full inquiry into pt whole subjeot of army reform, and that ia all iti is absolutely known. But it ia asserted that Six Garnet Wolaeley will be one of its principal ctabus, and I think that it the oaae. a word or two about one whose name is utocneed in the list of thoee who hare reoeived Jy knighthood of St. Miohael and St. Gaorge.

The usbor of these reunions has of late greatly in. eresed, the cards marked smoka and a tilk taiii; now quite fashionable. It la, perhapa, well ilia some such entertainment should oome to the .4.mt just now, for the fact ia that the season, ¿if1i¡e its promising opening, has booomo almost iaflwily doll. People have not the money they bat to spend ia feasting, and the result ia dal. us ud depression.

I mention this, not betaote Arthnr Mathison it liked by &U %ho ksaw tim, as he is, but because there 18 more itriing merit in theee little pieoea whioh he now tttei to the publio than the whole beoka fail of the so-called patriotio songs whioh b. lately been thrust down onr throats.

I 'l1U LATE WEST OF ENGLAND AND SOUTH WALES BANK. THE GOVERNMENT PROSECUTION I OF THE DIRECTORS. The intelligence published on Saturday morn- il'g respecting the order by the Heme Seoretary for the prosecution without delay of the direotors and bank offioe18 who signed the balance shoets of 1877 and 1878 created a profound sensation in Bristol and in thoae town* where the bank had branch en, and was the sole topic of conversation throughout the day. The point, we understand, npon whioh action will be taken is that both these reports, like all previous ones, stated that after allowing for all bad and doubtful debts there re- mained such and suoh a sum, from whioh aomuch would be taken for dividend and the remainder carried to the reaerv* fund, whioh the last report said "row amounts to upwards of £ 150,000." When the bank failed the offioial liquidators ascertained that the whole of the reserve, the whole of the capital, and more than ASW,000 beside*, had been sunk, or a toteJ of between £ 1,ICO,000 aad £ \,200,000. Of thla £ 000,000 bad been advanoed to Messrs. Bpoker, proprietors of the Fsntyrch and MeUnettath Tin-plate Works, near Cardiff I and when, soon after the failure, an order WM obtained for winding- up Bookees Arm, it was found that only A'AO,OW, out of the £ 600,000, was secured. This, it is understood, was secured by the insurance of Xr. Booker's life for Jt100,000, aud one of the points of the prosecution is expected to be that this CIOO,000 was reckoned as an asset year after year, although the bank paid the premium, whioh amounted to A3,000 a year. Booker's works have, an a matter of fact, belonged to the bank for many years past. One of their olerks had virtually been manager, and tho bank direotors appeared in the list of shareholders. The total liabilities of the bank, at the time of its stoppage, amounted to over three millions and a quarter. The Globe of Saturday publishes the following telegram from BristolNothing else is talked of this morning in the comueroial circle* of Bristol but the coming proeeoution of th3 old Wost of England Bank directors for issuing the balanoe obeets of 1877 and 1878. The lilt of these directors published this morning is not complete. Mr. George Bare Leonard, a Bristol coal owner, was a member of the board until November, 1877, and the report in that year was issued in January. Mr. Leonard then vwtired, and sold his shares, his plaoe on the directorate being taken by Captain Seiwyn Payne. The Exeter shareholders' oommittea contemplated taking action in the matter, but after due oon. sideraticn they resolved tbat, although there had been negligence, there had been no fraud. Under the altered olroumstanoes of the oase, they Intend meeting to-day to decide what ooirse they shall take. A Central News telegram says: The in. telligence that the Treasmy intend to proseoute the directors and responsible offioers of the West of England Bank was received in Exeter with surprise, as there has been no general agitation against the parties. The Home Secretary's action is hailed with satisfaction ia Exeter. The share- holders have struggled to meet their liabilities, bnt the distress among them is great. It is said I that the form of procedure against the (Hreoton of the batk will be by summons, and not by summary arrest process. Our Bristol correspondent telegraphs" The publication of the decision of the Home Secretary to prosecute the directors and principal ofHoials of the late West of England and South Wales Distriert Bank prodnood very great excitement on Saturday in Bristol, and, in fact, even store ex- citement than the announcement of the stoppage. It was the talk in the streets, the talk in the oommeroial-rooms, the talk in the Stock Exohange, in the Clifton Olub, and in erary plaoe of publio resort. It came as a surprise, and looking at the tine that bad elapsed sinoe the dosing of the bank, ths belief was general that no proceedings would be taken. Early in the day it was reported that one of the direotors had committed suicide, but this, we are glad to say, is without foundationi The friends of the directors pooh pooh the idea of pTCseouting and say that it may do a great deal of harm, per. sonally, to the direotors, but that it cannot benefit the shareholder*, and that the proceedings, there- fare, will be oomparativtly uWm. The opinion of the majority of people, however, appears to be in favour of the proooodidge, thinking that after the revelations that have already come to light a thorough investigation should be made, and that, too, by the Government. On Saturday there was considerable sympathy expressed among oommercial men for the direotors, and eepeoially for Mr. Gilbert, the general manager, who hM held a responsible position in the hank for a great number of years, and who retired only last year. Mr. Gilberlla known to have lost very heavily by the failure and suspension. There is a great deal of epeoulation as to who are the parties aetlo, in the matter, and who have urged on the Home Seoretary to pro. secete. In Exeter it ia said that they have been initiated at the iniitanoo of a public journalist of Bristol, and a oertain yeoman who bought a large number of shares two yum Ro, when they were at their highest, RS3 pet share. The Exeter com. mittee hare had the matter before them. It is said that should the criminal pro- oeedings suooeed, a civil action will be I brought against the directors for the recovery of money paid for aharee during the past two or three years. The decision ct Barou Martin in the Liverpool Borough Bank oase, tried in August, 18J8, ia relied on an a preoedent. It was then decided that direotors of a joint stook bank are liable for any fraudulent ^representation contained in their balance-sheets, and the charge is that the 1877 and 1878 balanoe-sheets of the bank ware false. It ia aid that one of the late directors, lb. Geo. Hare Leonard, a coalpit proprietor, of Bristol, retired from the bank in 1877, and refused to sign the balance-sheet. It seems that Mr. Coates, another director, also wished to retire, but wan induoed to remain on the board. It was zt&W on Oundsy 8T8lÛD( that a dOtWUTO from Scotland Yard had mAZ to look after the dhwtors, but whether they will be arrested ,or merely summoned is not yet known."

[ WELSH COAL. I I THE PROBLEMS OF THE I FUTURE. I SPECIALLY COMMUNICATED. I Those interested in, oar conversant with, the trade, know very well that changes of great importance have taken plaoe in the coal world. There was a time when ooal working was of the simplest, and, we may honestly say, the roughest character. That was the time when deep pits were not, and when the prinoipal workings were confined to holes or drifts in the mountain side. Nature made It easy. She exhibited a thick strata of ooal like a signboard, and the inclination or dip was so slight that the drift could be can tinned a long way, a mile or more, hi fact, with very ordinary ventilation. At some levels there was an explosion, more or low ssvere, every Monday morning, caused by the stoppage of work on the Sunday, and eQUiere going to work generally ha4 some lively performance in jumping about and "dusting" the gas out with their Jackets. From leveli to pits, and from working down to the npper striata and then to the lowor, have been the signs of, progress exhibited during the last half oentury, and now the character of ooal working is somewhat akin to naviptiOll-cieep pits and big ship*. The small pits are gone, are going. It is the deep pit, sunk from 500 to 700 yards down, and with all the applianees of latest machinery, that is to pay. The small pit, that turns out a couple of hundred tons a day, can only meet the requirements of coasters, but your pit that turns out 1,000 tons in 2t hours can ooal tho largest steamer in a oouple of days* This is a matter of considerable importance, Mala. eteamer, with its great staff of men, dock does oonsamption of fuel, Ao., does not pay its owners if lyinq idle tor any time, and it would better shippers to u It. per ton more to a large oolliery then a small one, even on this aooount. From small workings, then, to large has been the pro. gressive step and;we now have—iaMerthyr.Vale Colliery, Penrhiwoeiber, Harris's (when openod out), Fowlers, Mandy, and one or two others- oollieries that will, before the JeIU ia out, throw 10,000 tons more daily into the market than at present. What doea this mean? It meont greater competition and reduced prioes, unless a corresponding improvement take plaoe in the demand, and South Wales benefits by the rain or stagnation of one of the Northern distriots. Then, again, the attitude of the men is far from reassuring. We have it on the best authority that a reduction of wages at the end of June la already decided npon; and we learn from equally reliable sources that the men ari strongly disposed to contest this; and thus a strike in the ooming summer is by no means an unlikely eventuality. Referring again to coal working, the efforts now making by Government and science tend to wrest the mannerism of working, so to state, oat of its old rut. By means of the best trained inspectors, ccrRtant examination, and moat elaborate maohinery, accidents are to be reduoed to their minimum, and the pursuit of a ooUier 600 yards down in the earth be brought to almost as we a calling aa that of the employs on a railway. This oannot be done without further increasing the oost ct coal-get to the ooalowner, and thus the tendency is immeasurably nearer to lower wages than to au increase. In the competition at present existing, say at the docks, Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, neoesaity impels to almost a ruinoas extent. A ooalowne^ for the sake of illustration, "nds off a consign, ment of oeals to Barcelona. The fact ia at onoe ascertained. A dozen men exclaim so-and-so has shipped a cargo to such a place, and aend off to foreign agents to me if they, too, cannot got orders in the same quarter. Then cones the tag of battle, aad foreign agents, who do not mean to pay, of oonrae, underquote and supply demands to th* exclusion of legitimate traders, who intend paying honestly every penny. White-haired men at the Docks, crow's-feet men at the Docks, wrinkled men at the Deoht < Why wonder who in oan ale4p o' nighte, or have placid digestion, in the wbirl of trade and strife (I competition.

Lord Tredegar, it is stated, can walklDpori his own fft-vbiad from his mausion, near Newport, to Breocm, and in that great expanse he has a vast amount of mineral pro- perty which yields him an iuoome that varies but slightly one year with the other; but the coal- owner who takes a slioe of this property, and invests all his capital on it, puts his solvency at the mercy of men who are diffioult to manage, of a home market that it subject to oonstant vari- ations and depftmione, and to a foreign trade which is not, unfortunately, in the control of the blunt, but honest Englishman, but of the wily foreigner, whose oonsolenoe, as a ride, is of an exceedingly plastic character, and whose names abound in the blaok book of banke. Senor Josef in one oountry.tMons. De Tine in another, Herr Denbbletopf, in hit own speoial location, ex. ercise their nagnatio powere in wooing the black diamonds from our island, and not infrequently succeed. Ther* i* also another riak to whioh ooal owner* are especially liable in their foreign rela- tions, and it is almost identical with that whioh the wholesale fishmonger or fruiterer anduni6 A great drMttht of fish is caught off the 00Mi of Ireland, and frop N land special train& convey them to all parts of =land &a4 W&W. &moupt others the one fichmougn of EatauwiU geta a oon igm ment on am.

They have sent some before, they have erders to and again, but they double it, or they send kuv iuteAd of tbrough. Mon. iour W them at his mercy, aad makes his own conditions. Another factor to be noted in this survey of the existing etate of things, both at home and abroad, is the almost oonstant an. nonn_t of the &o;y of coal, now in one part of the world, and again in another. What doe* this prome but that a time illUl:e almect avery oouatry will be self-dependent, and will have ita own oodiarion in proportion to its own requirements f When it is noted that the average foreign W"y Mpo?t ham AU Walm ia 120 000 toBt. and that 95,000 \one alone ?e to F;iLoo, some idea of our dependency upon foreign countries is given.

Now, first of tIoIl, if there is one thing own whioh the happlama of the working ola**a* depends more than another. it is that o f 4&viag happy homee, and be surs of thJø, that that bappinea* does not eonsist simply in your own wuono. or in following your 9- wimben; but when you m&M you an bound to c,usid- the h Ipinoom of your wife as well your on.

(R4mewed oheen), I a certain that the more a man spend. on the comfort of the home in whioh he ?t* and to MOMe tho happiness of his wife, he ;a be a rieh and happy man, and his home will be dearer to him for the whole of his life, Turning to ion who have undertaken to build those hoasM. I will say this—It is very easy, under the Act of Parliament which we psaued, to tlftr the ground of all the dens in whioh, unfortunately, eo many people bavo been condemned to live, but you cannot build without money, and I do not want people to oome forward and do this wort: as an act > of obuity. but if you are disponed to put your money into a concern like this, you will get a rea- sonable interest for it, and confer a yast benefit upon your follow mvatum and eventually upon younelym. (Cheers.) Thirdly, I want to say to the public generally, and to remind you, that the great misery and the immense number of heuses in this Metro- polis have been the growth of oenturiee, and that it is a state of things that cannot be undone in one day. or in one year, or even in many yean. I have been told that the Aot whioh we passed in 1875 has not borne the fruit it wu expeoted to bear. I entirely deny that statement. A Y"t amount of money b" been spent by the Metro. peUtM B<Xtd ot rt;:nine¡.t ftyt of London clearing the ground, and vow people are taking the rest of the work up, and I sinocrely hope that within the next two or three years Y08 will find et'UJ one of those plota of ground covered And hnneee like these. ?CheeM.)

The I principle adopted in these building* ought to be not to underlet, that is to say, not to lot the preaulMe at so low a rent as to oalce it an act of oharity. In to doing, you would wrong the working itfnnts; but I at the spaitments wA a reasonable not, wkliob will tecum ? moderate Fetnm for Uw womy in- vomw In the bnUdinM.
