Md tMY hd ?Md t3Mt< M.ce?t'M !.t?WM to b.Tt all these 43-ton guns strengthened. The Ortlnance Committee which sat last year recommended that IlIeseguns should remain unaltered, but that the full charge should not be used in firing tllem. and, in fact, tho gun which burst on Tuesday was only fired with a three-fourth charge. Mr. W. WOODALL, in reply to Sir W.

With regard to ono objection which had been strongly insisted on, namely, against the proposed revision of railway rates being carried out under the authority of the Board offrllde, he pointed out that this objection was deprived of lis force by tl,u fact th.tthd revision was not to tllh ,;? e ,t lho sole instance of the Bo?trd of Trade, but lhat after tho Hoard of 'fmde had c,)oid.red Ihe matter,in conjunction with the representatives of tho?u)'w.<.yin!.t're??. tl,. ge ??nL which might thus have been .,ri-d at was n"t to Lk. effect until ft Bill bad been submitted lo and approved uy Parliament.

He had always held that such a ought to have a legal president. He also saw no reason why thwe should be any appeal on quea.. liolls of fllel, and was in favour of enlarging the juiisdiciion ot' the t 'oiinnissionets under the Act of 1851.

As to the question of termin,,1 charges, he thought there was no reason why there should not be some sort ùf maxima -"I,li..<lIO 1.llIlill.1 charges. Sir JOSEPH PEARSON, ill giving a general sup- port to tlie Hill, criticised many of its huse". Mr. LIONEL COHEN contended that the great complaint on tlie part of the traders was a want of classification ot meichamiise and further facilities for the development of trade. 4i, II, IiAMUELSUN thought: the main point, on which a definite and satisfactory answer WR Ie. uuired from the President of the Board of Trade «as, What W8 to be the re"r mt"linln or uause it r And, when that answer was given, lie believed it would he found that the true effect of the clause would be that it Was intended to operate, not as a general decrease, but rather a n revision of rates. Mr. PORWOOD hoped the Government would not consent to the withdra"1 or modification of the 24th Clause, and thought the question or unduo prefetencti ought to be lett to the decision or liie Commissioners. Ni, I'lil)IiOLD Ho,, ERS, who pok. ,,Tid interruption, complRined that the tradora were seeking to reduce the 1"lIilinute profits of the railway companies, who, lie argued, had beon robbed by thoo who, .¡ote,1 by Parliament, had obtained' exorbitant prices for their land. The hon, gentleinau was called to order by the Speaker for using the phrase You are bent upon r.l,bi,,g ..?d at oncu witlicire w as appli- ?,,bl? to the pre.ent generation, applying it o.,y to th past. Mr, DF.LLA, replying nn vehlf of the GOYelnnwnt to the criticisms passed on the Hill, re. ferred to the remark of Mr. Stanhopa with regard to 1\ private memoiandum which he had accused hiin (Mr. Mutidclla) of having unduly made public. He denied that he hHd found in the ollice when he lirsi entered it any Fipcrst memorandum, all lie had given to him being tiie sixth revise of the Kill prepared by iiis predecessor. Tho right Iton, gen- lleman then went into arguments and statistics willi the view of showing (hat (here were grievances on the part of traders wlneh needed .08u"h remedy an was proposed by tlio Bill. As to Clause 24, around which the mllin contention Itad centrod on the part of the objectors to the detAils of thll Hill, and which it was aai.l would have a conifscatory effect on rail- way interests, lie tatll that no such rault WH intended by hiniseif, and lie was sure no such result hlld Ueeu d..sired by hi. predecessor, the main object being to secure that classification and re-adjustinent of rates which liad been so strongly recommended by the Committee of 1832. Willi regard to what bad been urged in reference tco the canals, he admitted that the canal clauses were not adequate, and stated that before the Bill went illto Committee he would enùellvour still further l,) meet the necessities or UU case, as there could be no doubt that the canals were at present too much under tho restrictions imposed bv rsilwar com- panies, and were, consequently, not fulfilling their leqitimllte object in the development of the trade of the country.

THE SUSPENSION OF THE CARDIFF SAVINGS BANK. MEETING OF THE MANAGERS TO-DAY. Th» Cardiff Savings' Hank scandal will to-day (Friday) enter upon a fresh phase. The lamen- table fact that gigantic frauds have been com- mitted is now too well-known. What the cxact amount of those frauds might be does not for the present iifteck the question. To-day tho manngeri and trustees meet, having had ample proof that by gross mis-management, to say the least, funds committed to their cure have been embezzled to an enormous extent, and the question for tliew to decide is as to their moral responsibility to those c'1nH,jjo¡: depositors who liavo entrusted their hard-earned savings to the concern over which they presided, trusting entirely for the safety lIf their investments !"> the guarantee of soundness afforded by tha weight of an array of names of noblemen and gentlemen, whose honour is unquestioned. K.u' the present,f at any late, the legal obligations of the trustees and managers can be put on 0110 side. Aa men [ honour and substance, will the trustees and mana- j g. allow frugal and thrifty depositors to j? ?'. farthing of their Inoney alter giving it into their trust, believing that they would act up to their responsibility ?

lOXTHAOllDlNARV ACTION OF THE LUNELLY 8ÀI'fAHY AUTHORITY, CONFLICT WUH TUB LOCAL (iOVElti- MENT HOAKU. When their assistant inspector resigned ms "ppointment" couple of months ago a number of the members of the Llanelly Hural Sanitary Authority, professing to be actuated by economical considerations, determined to abolish the otihe. Thiø was done, and Mr. IIV. R. 9ans was re- appointed iDspeetor ffor the whole district at ft salary of fllO per annum. The "economists had beeD forewarned that, AI It was on the suggestion of the Government in- spector (Mr. Hirchain) that the additional ?it"v was app,)inud in the first instance, their resolve to revert to the old arrangement tfoutf) ift all liltelihood lelld to the withdrawal of llie Government contribution to the present Ificer's salary. At the monthly meeting of the authority, held on Thursday at tlie Union Work- house, a letter was read from the Local Govern- ment HMrd, ttin th"I, as the authurity had not seen fit to act Upllll ilioir suggestion, the contri- bution of half the inspector's salary from thc Imperial Exchequer would cease. After the coin muniction had been read, Mr. J. It, Wright moved the proposition of which lie had given notice, viz. "That two fnpntürq lJe appninleil, at a yearly salary or £ 65 each." In doing so 1m impressed upon the liuthority the desirableness of working in hBrmony with the Local Government Board, and pointed out that by falling ill with tha tatter's recommendation in this pardcular instance they would secure the double advantage of more efficient and more economical inspection. Tho central authority insisted upon itie necessity of their engaging two inspectors permanently, and there COUlll bo no doubt that the work to be done in eo extensive a district as that of Llanelly WUJ ns mucll as two men could p i b i ?, d?. There was no reason for maintaining the disproportion which previously existed between I'll salaries "f Evans ?nd his Bg.i.tIIt. In fact the Local Government Board had recom- mended that the Mlnries be equalised at the lower figure, lie (Mt. Wright) was of opinion that the woik would lie adequately remunerated Etc that amount, Tit., £ 85.
