Mo fllr, the TafT Vale Is threatened with a rivalry that will come into its district more than tho Hhymney system while the promoters, by providing themselves with dock accommodation down the Hri-tol Channel to the west, aim a blow at what they describe as the lhito monopoly at Cardiff.

Thi8 pros- perous vale, which has been described as Ihe 4 California of South Walen,' has attracted a full sliaro of attention fr(tn railway promoters.

Tak- ing into account the recent, great improvements at the three porta of Cardiff, Newport, 11011 Swansea, and the accommodation already afforded by such a well-managed line as tha Taff Vnlu, besides the above-montioned additional facilities, it cannot said that tho Rhondda has been in any way neglected or overlooked of lato years. 44 There issomething, l*owever,oxi»edlngly attrac- tive a Ik. i it the ide" "f calling into 8xiAumco II line to be owned by the freighters themselves.

"SYLVA^US URBAN" ON THE MAN fU AN FETE. "MORIEN" STILL ON TTTF WAK PATN. inY MOKIKX.] LUSUOS, MONDAY NIGHT. I There is to be teen in a shop window in the Strand two amusing pictures of a small, shaggy terrier, in two positions. In one the terrier is re- presented as ill in bed, the bedclothes up to his head. Heneath are tho words, "Sick is he," But the other picture represents him as having suddenly kicked off tho bedclothes, and standing with cocked ears and eyes glaring ferociously, and asking, imperatively, "Who said rllta" I cannot help thinking that the last picture illustrates to a considerable extent the character of my inquiries ¡ these days in the Metropolis, OJ Who said ruts" It is answered, the Prince of Mantua and Montferrat, and fat Olle" to boot; but in one thing my in- quiries dirtVr from I ha Action of the terrior. He sits while asking the question, but I move rapidly but humbly about hunt- ing through palaces and chambers of the law, I ragret to state fat Mllntu!1U rats seem to be scarcely in the regions I have visited. I have just left the Italian Embassy, Queen's Ciata. I need not say that I approached the Palace portals of his Excellency Count Marquis do Valdora with some trepidation, but tho reflection tliat Cambrian Hritons never quailed beforoeven Ctrsar sustained me when approaching the gates of the King of Rome. I stepped up to the porch and rang the bell, which immediately tinkle,1 merrily in 80me distant pa rt of tho palace. This was soon fol- lowed by tho door being opened, and a face dc- cidedly Italian presenting itaelf beforo 1110, It was that of a young man, with hair Ilnd eyos as black as coal. lie proceeded to rattle away in Italian. I replied in Welsh. This lie greeted with an emphatic Eh Y We regarded each other gravely. Do you know," I naked, "the Prince of Mantua and Montferrat." Ho replied in broken I>oglish, OJ He don't live hero." Did not say he did," was my comment on his obser- vation, "I want to ce ins Excellency," I con-1 tinued, "please tell him I am from Wales—Princo de Ualles." At thu sOlln,1 or tho last words my friend looked really frightened, and I really believe lie understood me to say in French that [ was the Princo of Wales. I hastûncd to reassure him by uttering the Uarihaldian battle cry, llama <4 morte." The good fellow seemed to be touched by hearing his mother tongue, for his face broke into slllils, ami with hands uplifted he repeated the words most musically. 110 then ,brted rar¡jJly to the bottom of the magnificent stairs of the palace, and applying his mouth to a tube in the -all he sent a message to goodness knowa where, lIu then "allt-d out tho name Joseph. I told him that was not my name, but itIgot for my pains was his ejaculating the monosyllable Eh," and keeping his dark eyes full upon 1110, A murmuring sound was heard in the tube and, after first applying his ear to it, he bcckoned, mo to walk up the stairs. I did so, thinking of III) fllow countryman, CaraeUcus, stepping proudly i.w the presence o[ tha Roman, Claudius, But I had not gone half-way bot'oro a voke from bvc, I gre?ted me. First in ltaii?, then in French, and finally in broken EnglUh cauie the question, Sar, II vat e plees to vant., I replied that I wanted to see his Excellency. Ho is in Russia, at the Coro- nation of the C"r," was the wiswer, 11 and will iwt be back for a month." M Where is his secretary ? was my next question. I was furnished with his address, and, alter thanking the two guardians of the only bit of Roman territory which the ancient Romans have been permitted to re* talo in tho realms of Hritannia, I took my departure to the residence of the Secretary to the Embassy of tho King of Hair, Unfortunately lie was not at home, but I had a moat interesting quarter of an hour's conversation with his charming lady. :;he ha,1 heard of the Prince of Mantua and Moniferrat, but know nothing about bim I DIU to call again to-morrow, and I am beginning to foci that, after all, it is not eo disagreeable to trace the footstep* of a Prince. This morning I called at the oftioo of the editor of the (\JI.I"iI/K,r"I Review in 1.t of tho address 1, Miss Cobb, an authores who 'ell know.* 11 Prince of Mantua and Montferrat. I found tliat the wije woman is among the mountainsof Wales, beholding green fields, foaming cascades, and gutirdti of liberty which defied the crested Roman HI his hours of pride. L,.t m" give her Welsh addrs. It is Lianilltyd, Dolgelly. Should tho news of this inquiry reach her in her Cambrian r' treat it may induce her to contribute something of public interest in reference to it. It is not alleged that the Prince was over a suppliant lit the feet of the authoress in tho character of an adorer, but rather as an admirer of her genius. Now, the fact that a lady of Miss undoubted philoophic cast of minll has known his Serene Highness long would, one is entitled to believe, enable her to gauge pretty accurately hie I mind and character. The fact tliat his lIighnoJos visited South Wail's with a paper collar round his neck proves nothing against eithor character, in. tellect,or status. Peter the Great worked in an English dockyard wltlwutanr collar at all. I have again seen Mr. Lewis Morris, and he read to me a reply to his lottor, which ho received from hir. A. M. Mocatta. It is right to state that there are several members of the family of tliat name in tho Metropolis, but they are said to tie on intimate terms with each other. This lIlr, M">catta knows nothing what- ever about III" Prince except by ropute. Last OcttherMr. Mocatta was in Mantua, in the same month as it is alleged a meeting was held in Exeter-hall, with a Mr, A. M, :l1"caltA, M.A., in the elmir, in reference to the Mantua and Montferrat Medal Fnnd. Mr. A. III, Mocatta made, at the time referred to, inquiries Fit Mantuaabout the (ionziga family, from whom his Highness alate, he is descended. He found that it was perfoctly true tho Austrian Government took possession many years ago of the Duchy of Mantua, but they pensione<{ t.ho Gon/aga family, a most ancient one, and continued to pay the pension until the last known momb-r of the family died few y?., ago. In reference to Mr. Mocntla, I find I W4:? .?i.t.k.n when I stated that Mr. I' Morris told me ho was more wealthy than t,l?o Rotlw- childs. It, wa. n.li?,r gentleman who made th.tt,?, stAlclOent to ma, Mr. Lewis Morris dcsires me to publish tho following letter;- *flir,—Mv name has been more prominently than Iui?I 'illr? before the ,u.i? in i,)n with the inquiry into the Mantua and Montfermt Fund. Ifu?? ?. ly to 8ay that, ful, having made inqui- ri,, of the g?"t z man wi?.. f..?lly hav" been mentioned as trt?tt!? of the alleged fund, I have }¡I"'i:ft;t>lrf U:eu:;brt, of I; ceeding ,ny f,i?Li?.r in Iho matter, and I must 1 personally decline having anything further to do with iL-YollI" truly, Y..Lrw.,?

But Mr. Stephen Evans is not only handsome, but eloquent, if not in Beven huiguagos, in 11101'0 thon his own, Moreover, ho is a good man, and the in- fluenee of his spirit pervades every move- ment intended to benefit the laud of his biuh.

Linking his arm in Uline, wo marched up, both prepared to (to, if not to die, for Wales. Wo soon espied Mr. Lewis Morris in the distance coming down On the opposite side of the lane. Ho joined us, and tho enthusiasm of my companion made litrii laugh heartily. Mr, EVlln" seemed to think Mr. Lewis Morris waR lIa) busty in h; disclaimer. Then 1)1) o"orvo,1 that whatever came of the affair, he would hold General Jenkins blameless in the matter, for ¡ everyono could see that ho had acted in it j simply through a wish to benefit Wales. Later on ho told 109 that General Jenkins had mentioned to him and Air. Lewis Morris the name of a town In America front which the Prince had lately received £ 150,000. I proceeded to Exeter-hall, and saw the officials there. None of them had ever heard of tho Mantua and Mont- ferrat Fund Meeting alleged to have been held there on the 22nd of October, And reported in Land and Water on the 28th of tliat month. But they said a meeting in reference to something ut the sort is booked to be • held there on the 15th of June. 1 then proceeded to La ml (wd Wafer ollke, and found the editor as if he had been recently engaged in the aquatic part of his business, for he was in his shirt sleeves. I asked him if an official reporter from his office liatt i-oportud the meeting in ques- linn, He replied it was not their custom to stato who had reported what had appeared in that journal, but that he believed it was reported in the usual way. I, however, had heard from anothorflu"ce that the report woa communicated by an outsider, I Imd hoped thu editor would in a friendly way show iiij tho manuscript copy, but be did not do 60. Tii,: oKLKliiu;i 'AOUi^oiON TO THE TITLE. Mr. John Storrie writes i—It will now be quite a relief to turn to some of the good works of that distinguished scientist, the Prince of Mantua, immediately after his accession to his title. As described in Monday's Western Mail% he at once set about getting up a celebration of tho evont worthy of a man so extraordinarily descended. A paper called the H'tst Central Nttia furnished a descrip- lion of 1\ vogctariltn IInd temperance fete to his Highness C. O. G, Napier, the Prince of Mantua and Montferrat, said to have boon given on Nionditvo March 24,1879, to hail the declaration of his acces- sion to the princely honours and enormous wealth that had for centuries been gravitatiug towards this illustrious scion of the house of Gonxiga, like tho rills fruiii a thousand mountain springs uniting in tlicir course to tho sea. Tho account given by this paper was inserted by tho Prince himself and so mv$t be correct. I: is rather too lon/f''ir transcription inits entirety, IInd I thought I could not do better than repro- duce tho very felicitous summary of it given at II". time by "Sylvanus Urban in his M Table Talk" in the (Jentleman's Magazine for tho month of June in that year. It is as follows "Those who nover read:, newspaper called the West Ctntral Xfor. will have lost a Lreat.

The whole affair give* the impression of u dream in which Monte Christo, Don Quixote, Dr Morrison (of the pills), and the Champion Hill- Foster have all played leading parts. What annoys tile personally, {¡it onù who mixes with his fellow-creatures, and is in tho hab t of repre- senting I h, public, is that I have never so much as heard of this great personage, wh,), besides being, II prince, is the greatest living benefactor of the human rae", As to his 1"J<ligree, Mr. John Riddell, uf Edinburgh, we are informed, has proved it, and it is corroborated by an engrossed crtincatH signed and scaled by 78 In¡1mhers of the Parisian liiir. :-i,1 far as we c in gather from tho statement* mad-1 at tho banquet in his lliglmes.,1 honour, tho founder of his family was • Auteuor, King of the Cimmerians, ou the Hlack Sea, about the time of the urophet.

The whole proceeding appears most curi<)u, and cer- tainly worth noting." Your readers will naturally suppose that such a meeting as is described nbovo could not have been held without attracting some attention in tho borough of Uruenwich. With the object of a cor- roboration of this marvellous story I went to Greenwich two years ago lost ChrJSh1\1\f1, which would b., wi, hin about two years of the time of t,lw ùu,"0081 rlltion hnvlng taken place, I made particular inqui"¡". of many lesidents. I thought that if anyone would know of .eli an occurrence pi)li(-. would certainly h"vo some information, especially as tho meeting was alleged to have lasted ovcr a fortnight. Uut, Ihuugh If," information IL tho police-stations of Greenwich, Hlackheath, and Lewisham, J. was unable tU .,hwin any corroboration whatever. On tho contrary, j I was repeatedly assured t.)?t'I? such l.neClin could have taken place without the knuwledgo of those whom I questioned, and tliat they knew nothing of it whatever and believed it to be a complete hoax. lam also fit a position to state that independent inquiries 11101<10 in the sauio direction within six months of tho date of the alleged banquet were equally fruitless. It is pro- verbially diftieult to prove a negative, but I have certainly Kllt4Klled myself that the proceedings re- ported in the West Ctntral Xeic* never took place, either at Greenwich or elsewhere. In view of t(io intrinsic improbability of tho whole thing, this assurance is scarcely necessary. From tho fore- going and fl". what I have previously written your readers will havo no difficulty in inferring Ihl1t I consider the man, C, 0, Groom, a man of a ,IiFort1(>retl imagination, whose overweening vanity has fostered in his brain a serle. of the most astounding delusions. I wish I coti? -? Uii,t tl1t1)'1 Were entirely harmless. Hut this 13 not so. Certainly the good people of Wales, tho mayors, town councillors, and ot"r dignitaries who have been deluded by this visionary will l(?Qk back with chagrin upon 11m ?t-Ps whwh they have taken tAl securo for Wales. not a castle, but a UIII- versity, in U", air. I ti?i?k it onlr igi?t to say that in "II my acquaintance with Mr. (it-. ) v., never known him to make use of any representa- tions for tho purpose of personal profit. In laet, from all I have been able 10 l<mrn, ho has no llir)n for resorting V, any such P"fwtjccq.
