PARISH COUNCILS IN NEWPORT DISTRICT. Startling Change for St. Woolts. new board of guardians for the Newport 4nion will consist of 30 gentleman elected by the &ve wards of the Newport county berough, 14 by Iti. Abercarn, Llantarn&ni, and Caerleon, Md 36 by the other 33 parishes. This latter 36 irill be also district councillors. Thus the new board of guardians will consist of 80 members, lad constitute one of the largest execu- tive bodios in the county, baing larger than the Monmouthshire County Council, which totals M members. It is almost certain that there will be a sprinkling of lady guardians for the Newport Wards. Already two are as good as elected in th" Maitidee Ward, and although one øi the other wards is ungallanb enough to demur te the election of a lady, it is hoped the rate- payers of that ward will be able to see that where the oare of women and children are concerned lady guardians can do splendid service, and that they will take early means to secure at least one tody to see to their interests. The new Parish Councils Act has brought about some curious changes. St. Wooloa ParisL. for instance, which used to embrace quite cne tsaif of Newport, both in population and rateable value, has by the amalgamation of parishes within. the borough's borders, been reduced to a mere skeleton of nothingness. It does not uow possess either church, schoolroom, or publio-houae, and it Is rnmoured that the parish meeting will be held in the skittle alley at the private residence of a resident. The parish an listers now only 241 souls, and therefore there is the element of doubt whether it will ever geb a parish council, or be grouped with the next sdjaceut parish—say Rogerstone or Henllis. The largest purely agricultural parish is St. Mellon's, with 650 souls, and next comes Marshfield, with >64 inhabitants. The mining and industrial parishoa run into thousands; Rogerstone, for example, which has of late years grown !rom a hamlet, owing to Nettlefold's branch works bamg erected there. has 2.389 people Mynyddislwyn, 2,981 Bed was, 1,991 tad Maclien Upper, 1.503. There are arranged op to the present four groupings of eight little parishes, and the smallest of these groups will be Wslcrick and Llandaveeny, which iniisterbetween them 70 souls-Wiierick 24 and Llandaverny 46. Waiiwern, which counts Mr D. A.Thomas, M.P.. As an inbabitnnt, also has 24, and is to have its fortunes allied to Bishton, big:anci swollen with Importance in having 108 folk. There are 18 parishes in all, grouped and otherwise, with a population under 300, in which the question of Shall we have a councilor shall we not ?'' will 10 doubt during the next week or so prove a momentous one.

CARDIFF GUARDIANS. I A to day's meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians, held under the presidency of Mr 0. H, Jones, the order of the Local Government Board was received confirming the transfer of Rutnney and St. Mellon's to Newport Union, and Rhydygern and Llanredw to Cardiff Union.

The Ely Schools were now overcrowded to tho extent of four, and the committee there had arranged to remnove two Catholic boys to St. Michael's Home, Treforest, and two girls to Nazareth House.

'.ADY GUARDIAN FOR MOUNTAIN ASH. fsntCIAl TELEGRAM TO THR "KOHO."] I A deputation of ratepayers iwaited this morn- ing at DufTryn on the Hon. Miss Pamela Bruce, daughter of Lord Aberdare, asking her to become a candidate for the board of guardians for the East Ward of Mountain Ash. She acceded to the request, and the news has given great satisfaction at Mountain Ash, where the young lady is deservedly popular on account of the interest she bas always taken in the poor. Miss Bruce is a Bjost accomplished young lady, and will be an acquisition to the Pontypridd Board of Guardians. It is not likely that she will be opposed.

ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. Friday is a far more convenient day on which to assault a constable,, for the stipendiary magis- trate does not sit on Saturday and prisoners all a rule do not receive such heavy sentences. Two oases came on this morning at the Cardiff Police- court. Carl John Carlson, for assaulting P.C. Fudge, was fined 10s and costs, or 14 dYij' imprisonment; and Patrick Kirby,a private in the 41st line regiment, was fined 20s and costs, er 21 days, for assaulting P.C. Cupel and This prisoner was brought to the station by three constables on IL truck.

Latest London Sensation. THE MYSTERIOUS PACKAGES. A Supposed Advertising Ruse. ARRESTS AT TAM WORTH. The Press Association states that the sequel to the receipt of the mysterious packages at various Government offices in London yesterday trans- pired at Tamworth to-day,when Detective Fisher, of the Liverpool police, arrested Charles Joseph Dent, master plumber and decorator, and Frank Cannock, mechanic, of Tamworth, on a charge of sending parcels containing 24 bombs to the Government offices in Whitehall. The police believe the action of the accused was a ruse for securing a prize for advertising a certain periodical included in the packages. It is stated that the bombs were provided with a cap which would explode with a loud noise, but were otherwise harmless. Pareels fer the Prime Minister and Mayors. Another correspondent says Dent and Can- nock were temporarily released shortly before noon, by the ad vice of the Chief Constable of Liverpool. It has transpired that the men sent similar parcels to the Mayors of Liverpool, Bradford, Leeds, Bristol, Exeter, and Sheffield, and to the Prime Minister and other members of the Government. The delivery of the parcels was stopped in London by Scotland Yard, who received a wire from the Derby officials of the Midland Railway. The Mayor of Liverpool opened his parcel, and the cap exploded, causing great consternation. He informed the police, and as the men had enclosed their names in the parcel Detective Fisher arrested them this morning at four o'clock. The bombs, it is alleged, were manufactured on Daut's premises. The men treat the affair as a joke. [Additional particulars on 4th piage.]

The Worrall Divorce Suit I A CURATE CO-RESPONDENT. I THE VERDICT. I LONDON, Friday. —In the Divorce Division to. day—before the President and a special jury- the Worrall case was further heard. In one suit Mrs Louisa Worrall claimed a judicial separation from her husband, Mr Henry Worrall, in businees as » dyer at Manchester, against whom she alleged cruelty, Mr Worrall, in a oross suit, asked for a divorce on the ground of his wife's alleged adultery with the R«v. H. W. Jones, formerly CurRt. at St, Mary's Church. Hulme. ADUKK88 FOR TUIt OUBATK. blr Cartiott, Q.C., now addressed the jury on behalf of the co-respondent. It could not. be said, be shown that Mr Jones's appearance on the scene led to differences between man and wife, for they had already taken place, and! as to the writing of the letter Mr Jones knew nothing of it and never received it or any letter like it. In this case no act of familiarity or impropriety had bepn proved. As to the evidence of kissing they only had the statement of the cabman, and did they believe it ? The witness had admitted he had said to thu church warden that he knew nothing except that he drove the parties in his cab. As to the evidence of the servant girl that she saw Yit- Jones with his arm round Mrs Wor- rall's Witist in the garden, the story was ridiculous, and it was incredible that theyehould have chosen so public a place for love makiner Beyond the statements of these two witnesses, which he urged were unreliable, there was no evidence of a word used or an act doao showing any guilty relations. As to the drawing down of the blinds, it was shown that was done whether Mr Jones was at the house or not. Touching the correspondence, if concealment had been desired, the letters would not have been sent by cabmen, aud there was no evidenoe that any love "letters had passed. I Bearing in mind the disparity of years between Mr Jones and Mrs Worrall, and the fact that Mr Worrall had requested Mr Jones to take the wife to tableau vivants and drive her oub in his absence, Mr Jones mignt well suppose when Mrs Worrall suggested he should take her on the river at Chester he should accede to lier request. He might have been guilty of indiscretion in the matter, but not of sin. Again, the visit to the golf-house was indiscreet, but nothing more. Adultery would not be com- mitted there when there was plenty of oppor- tunity for it elsewhere. The writing af the letter of the 11th June was no evidence against Mr Jones, and Mrs Worrall wrote it simpiy to vex her husband. With reference to the Saltburn visit, admitting that it was indiscreet, counsel contended it was consistent with lunocence. He asked the jury to consider all the facts on the assumption of his clieut's innocenoe, and he felt sure that unless they were coerced they would not, upon the flimsy evidence before them, bring upon his client ruin and downfall. (Applause.) ADDRKSS FOB MB WOHKALL. I I Mr Inderwick, Q.C., next addressed the jury on behalf of Mr Worrall, He first con- tended that the allegation of cruelty against Mr Worrall had not been proved, Mr Worrall admitted that ;he had slapped his wife on the face, but he had done it under strong provocation and it did not amounb to legal cruelty. As to the adultery charged against Mr Jones and Mrs Worrall, he said their friendship undoubtedly began innocently, but it grew into a guilty relationship. He reminded the jury of the expressions in the torn letter I could squeeze you to pieces," dearest," and "your poor old fnzbuz," and the clandestine meetings that took p'ace, as pointing to the nature of their relations. Knowing there was an estrangement between the husband and wife, and that it was through the latter, yet he conUuued to meet her, and then came the visit to Saltburn, and it was the secrecy of that visit which was the element of guilt. Mr Carson had referred to the disparity of age between Mrs Worrall and Mr Jones, but it was generally admitted now that Cleopatra was eight or ten years older than Antony—(laughter)—and it might be that Potiphar's wife who older than the other gentle- man. (Laughter.) Mr Inderwiok submitted that upon the evi- denoe the husband was entitled to the divorce for which he asked. Mr Harper, in the absence of Sir E. Olarke, addressed the jury for the wife. PBKSIDKNT'S SDMMINO-CP. I The President the summed up the case to the jury. and referred at some length to the charge of cruelty. With regaid to the question of adultery, he said the case for them was more one of inference from facts than of the credibility of witnesses. He regarded the letter of the 11th June as a orucial fact in this case. If the letter w-ts a gmnuine one, and not intended solely to annoy the husband, then it showed that on the part of the woman there was great affection for the person to whom it Was written. The question M to the genuineness of the letter and the conduot of the parties after- wards were impoitant pointi4 to consider. It was clear from the lady's conduct thut she had lost her affection for her husband, and when the husband demanded to see the letter she refused to let him see it. After Mr Jones was forbidden there were clandestine meetings, and then came the meeting at Saltburn, and there was evidence which pointed to ooncealuient. The jury retired to consider their verdict at half-past four o'clock, After su absence of 40 minutes they returned into court, and stated they found that Mr Worrall had not committed cruelty. They were unable to agree upon the question whether the wife and Mr Jones com- mited adultery. The wife's petition for judicial separation was then dismissed. Costs were not asked for. On the application of counsel, the Prosident allowed the husband's petition to remain on the file, in order that it might be set down for a new trial if necessary. r.â:.

When Munkacay's picture" Clirist before Pilate" was exhibited in Ntiw York, an art critic knowmg nothing of art-there are, alas such persons— came to the galiery, and hearing the work described as the greatest masterpiece since Rubens' time," mistook the name, and in the New York paper coolly stated that the picture was the most famous work since Rubinstein," The blunder was pointed out to the musician, who amused himself and his friends for years after by laughingly calling himself The greatest painfctr since Rubinstein." -0-- Mr Henry Irving and Miss Eilen Terry were at the grand reception given on Thursday evening at the Mansion House, Dublin, by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. --0- The Manxman was produced by Mr Wilson Barrett at the American Theatre, New York, on Monday, and was received by a crowded audience with every sign of approval. -0 It is a little curious that the Jersey Lily" should have made her reappearance in America in New Jersey. Mrs Langtry probably found a brief engagement at a place so near New York con. venient as a series of public rehearsals before she made her plunge in the big city-or started upon a long tour, for we believe that she bad at first by no means decided whether New York should be virtually the beginning or the half-way house of her American oeason. Peril was the piece with which the English company opened in New Jersey, probably because this was at once tho easiest and the most familiar of its repertoire. Meanwhile she has followed up her engagement at New Jersey by a visit to Boston. 0 At the hundredth performance of The New Woman at the Comedy Theatre on Thursday Mr Comyns Carr presented his patrons with the pretty souvenir, containing a portrait of Miss Winifred Emery, which we described last week. At the conclusion of the performance Mr Comyns 0a.rr came forward and said Ladies and gentle- men,—It is very gracious of you to want to hear a word or two from me, but they can only be words of the simplest thanks. As you are aware, The New Woman is jus's one hundred to-night, but as perhaps you are also aware from a reference to the little programme which you have before you -(A voice "And a very good programme, too ") —she does not look quite her age.

I CARDIFF'S FOLLY. I The Defunct Harbour Trust Scheme The Shipping World says Whoti the cor- poration met on the 12th it was still possible to explain that there had been no opportunity for collective consideration of the matter, and a request for a few days' delay would probably have led to the withdrawal of the fateful letter. But there was no common sense in the council that day. Half the mem- bElrs were evidently glad of the excuso to get rid of the whole business. It was Mr Ebenezev Beavan who suggested, Let us sing the doxology and go home." By 23 to 14, Mr J. H. Oory remain ing neutral, the council resolved to accept Sir William Lewis's letter as decisive, and thtifi was sacrificed, recklessly and with lightness of heart, the greatest ohance Cardiff has ever had of making itself the master of its own house, and building up on tresh lines a new and more ponderous fabrio of prosperity." -¡

I Ainonf?st the messages of sympathy received by Itftdy Swansea yesterday was one from the Karl of Rosebery, the Prune Minister. Karl of Rosebery, the Prune Minister. APPEARANCE OF THE BODY i 011 Thursday night the body of the late Lord Swansea Was placed in a shell, which rests on I oak pedestals in his bedroom. The countenance I' of tbe deceased is described HIS beautifully placid, his IPPearanco resembling sleep, and bearing teatimony to the painlessness of his death. proposed MONUMENT TO HIS MEMORY. A 9Uf?Restion has been made that Lord Swansea's memory should be perpetuated in the way be Would have preferred above all others- by the establishment of a technical college iu the town which he made the metallurgical centre of the world. His lordship, after Swansea lost the South Wales College, pointed out the necessity of SWansea having a technical college, and other prols having failed, he on the eve of his death propounded a scheme where- by bis hopes might be ret, I ise(I-by the coming to an arrangement between tho inter- Illeditte and technical education committees wherry the latter might participate in the derived from the Bishop Gore Grammar School- The suggestion was regarded by a section M being impractical, but Lord Swansea perlli, and there is but little doubt that, had he lid to attend the meeting of the teebnioal educalion committee convened for the day of his death, be would have propounded IIcheine which might have been acceptable. L%rd Swansea, ■was a feoffee of the grarn"al' school, and well knew its resources, and Was confident there would be derived from the royalties on the mineral properties belling to the school, not only to give snflgcjjnt for ordinary education, but to leave a larf;e fur plufa for teelinical education. Over and over k(alu had Lord Swansea pointed out that SwanO4 i. the metallurgical centre of the world, Mnd hobaa ridiculed the necessity of the 3chool of Irlineg,O Ild it's students to Swansea to study iuetalprgy there when there might bo such a schOoyin the very centre of the industry. He showed tho.6 within a radius of four miles of Swanoa there are between 120 and 130 works of Yarlo\# ki.llds, several of them the most unoortant of the killd in the kingdom.

It would be quite unneceseary for me to nlljrll t'ttan glance at the low we hava sustained.

We know that every great commercial and progressive measure in the town has been pioneered by him, supported by him, and encouraged by him, rlnd although perhaps he did not come amongst us to any great extent as a chamber, yet he was always a great impetus in all our movements.

A VERY REMARKABLE MONKEY. Con-qul," a West African chimpanzee, which has just died at Belle Vue, Manchester, is asserted by the Guardian of that city to have been the most remarkably intelligent monkey ever brought to Europe. He was able to do almost nything but speak. A trader on the Dubncn river, with whom he lived for some months, civi sed him to the extenb that he regnlarly dined with two or three white men, using his knife and. fork and drinking his wine with the gravity of an old man. To see Consul sitting at table taking his food with the nicest appreciation of the uses of knife, fork, spoon, and serviette to watch the unmistakable signs he gave of knowing right from wrong, and of a consequent cultivation of some. thing remarkably like a conscience, waa to marvel. The gravity with which he would take possession of a big bunch of keys, without the slightest hesitation pick out the right one, and let himself out of his cage was irresistible. Once outside he was the delight of every child, and of a good many children of larger growth. Consul was almost passionately devoted to several members of his owner's family, and in an especial way to Mr James Jeunisou, whose constant companion he was. Nothing gave Consul greater delight than to aooompany him on an occasional visit to a Derbyshire estate. During those journeys his behaviour was always exemplary. He had a seat to himself in a railway carriage by the window, and politely saluted those who came round attracted by the unusual traveller, of course to their infinite amusement. What developments of learning and civilisation might have been possible to Consul, bad he lived, it would not be easy aven to guess. Those about him who knew him best had unlimited belief in his intellectual capaoity, and looked forward most hopefully to his future. In proportion to this is their regret at his lamented disappearance from a scene in which he has played not merely an interesting but a dignified part." The cause of death was dysentery.

I THE MILKERS, GRIEVANCES. I Two farm hanat named James House and Thomas House appeared on the defendants' stand at Newport County Police-oourt this afternoon for leaving that well-equipped farm known as The Dufhyn, near Tredegar Park, without the prescribed notice. Three weeks ago, in the early morning, with their task of milking the cows still unfinished, they struok out for a change of scene, and were found to have gone back to their lather, who was employed at fciieit employer's other farm at Ifton Hill, near Chepstow. One defendant said he came from Ifton on trial at the Duffryn, and when he asked whether he was to stay or not he gob what he oonsidered to be a doubtful answer. The other defendant's reason for leaving was that he had not been treated fairly over extra work at harvesting, when he worked from 5.30 a.m. till 8 p.m. Mr Stratton's son, who appeared to represent his father, said it waa not wished to press the charge, bat only that men should know they could net leave without notice. The sum- monses set out that 10s damage was sustained in each CMC Mr Stratton, jun., sugg4nted 5s and the Bench decreed Is damages each, with the "to. Mr Stratton was handed the 2DM be left the court, th damages being paid.

I A FOUNDLING AT NEWPORT. • A Baby Laid on the Door-mat. Mrs Ruth Whitaker, of 4, Trilay-street, Main- dee, Newport, the wife of an employee at the High-street Railway Station, Newport, appealed at the meeting of the Newport Board of Guardians to-day, with a one month old baby boy m her arm. and Mked the gentlemen seated round the horse-shoe table what she was to do with it. Then in response to the queries of Col. Lyne and others, the woman told that about a quarter past ton last night abe found the infant in her passage lying on the door-mat, the front door having been left open. The ohild was carefully wrapped in a shawl, and, ia addition to the clothing which the child had on, a number of articles of wearing apparel hod also beeu placed inside the ahawi, and in one hand the child had a shilling, whioh ha-d been wrapped in paper. The guardians decided to take the child into the house, as they could not legally allow out relisf. The relieving oificer was directed to rottke enquiries and to acquaint the police with the matter, in order, if possible, to had,the mother of the child.

St. Andrew's Day in Cardiff. The Cardiff Caledonian Society anu friend celebrated St. Andrew's Day in the usual festive and hearty fashion. The eighth annual dinner, under the auspices of the society, was partuken of last night in the Royal Hotel by a company numbering several hundred members and guests, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed -he catering of r A. Judah, tihe mager. A feature of the function was one ramdillT to regular attendants as this gatherng, natne,y, the excellence of the arrangements made by tho nor. secretary, Mr David C. Salmond, A.M.Inst-.C.E., and the artistic get-up of the menu card and toast list, which contained getns of Scottish poetry appropriate to the occasion, and not only a reliable portrait of the great poet Burns but a series of views, prominent among which were Burns's birthplace and the immortal plo-igh, tho banks and braes and the brig O'Dooti, and Alloway Kirk, the scene of "cutty sarks," peculiar diversions with "Auld N.ckie BeD." Another, and a new feature.wasfchetntroductionof pipers in full dress, this being due totlis large- hearted patriotism of Mr Archibald Hood pre- sident of the association. The braw gallants, who, by-the-way, are brothers and amateurs. hailed from London, but are natives of Aberdc-et;- shire, and as they appeared in their gay costume*, which were profusely decorateci with medals ant: other trcphiea won in open contest for pipeplay and dancing, they looked exceedingly well, and ] attracted general attention. Their names are j Mr A. L. Reith, pipe-inajor of the London Scottish, and Mr R. Reith, corporal-piper tc the same corporation. The latter is the amateur champion of Highland dancing in London. The company having assembled, the chairman, Mr A. Hood, J.P., accompanied by the mayor, Alderman P. W. Carey, who woro his chain of office, followed by the company, were played into the dming-hall by the pipers, an' a' an' a' and the festivities were speedily commenced. As already stated, Mr Hood was in the chair, and on his right were the mayor, Sir E. J. Reed, M.P., Mr John Duncan, Mr Laeoalles Oarr, Mr RiddeJl (London), the Rev. John Williamson, the Rev. Fathers Cormack and Nolan on his left, Col. Goldsmid, Mr J. M. Maclean (Conservative can- didate for Cardiff), Col. Guthrie, Dr. Campbell, and Mr James Manuel, hon. treasurer. Amongst the general company were Dr. T. Wallace, Mr David Duncan, Councillors J. Ramsdale, M. Morgan, and B. Harris, Mr W. Mackenzie (head constable), Mr A. Gillies, Alderman W. H. Mathias (Porth), Mr D. Sullivan, Mr J. Hurmau, and Mr C. J. Jackson. It was a remarkable circumstance that at the ",r chairman's table sat in close proximity and the most enjoyable harmony of feeling the present Parliamentary representative of the borough and the prospective opponent, the chief proprietors of the rival local newspapers, and the repre- sentatives of the Roman Catholic aiid the Non- conformist Churebea. --After dmner the Chair- man mentioned that it was 20 years smoe he first presided in that house on a similar occasion, and there had been many changes since then. H,) also stated that the following telegrams of greet- ing bad been sent to Ayr, Kilmarnock, Aber- deeo, Exeter, Swansea, Bristol, and Newport:— You Soots, in festive meeting, Accept our Cardiff friendly greeting May a' your speeches, soi.g, and chatter Contain no controversial matter to London Scottish Corporation— Hail London, famed for i Ita. thing 'that heart can wish or siller bring, Lang may thy canty rau-.es ring Our souls to cheer; And plenty gar thy children sing, Frae year to year and to SII. Andrew's gathering, Beifast- Britber Scots in Western Principality, Assembled on St. Andrew's Day, Fl.tsh reply, devoid of an formality, Ttllt merry be your nicht and gay. Replies in cordial terms wete received from all those places. The loyal and patriotic toasts having been honoured, Col. GOLDSMID (who claimed tc be a Scotchman), in reptying for the Army and Navy, said the Scotch regiments were aiways to the front, and in his subsequent remarks he urged the people to support the Volunteer movement, and look sfter old soldiers when they left the colours. Sir E. J. RIED, M.P., submitted the toast, The Land o* Cakes." He remarked that the Scotch had reason to be proud of the Imperial greatness of their country, which they hud done so mnoh to creet and glorify. He was a strong admirer of the Sootch indeed, he felt like a Scotchman — when he crossed the border. (Laughter and applause.) It was a peculiar fact that while at the Umon Scotland was poor, it eave to England a king, and provided to the world a set of learned and scientific men whose names and teachings had become famous. (Applause.) It was question- able whether Burus or the other to had done justice to the Scottish scenery and obaracter. but however these might have been neglected it muit be acknowledged that the Scottish apirii itself had been equal to the occasion. (Hear, hear.) There was no nationality that oould look with greater oonfideuoe to ita past, present and future than the Scotch. (Applause.) Why, where was the branch of industry or profession in which the Scotch had not made their mark? (Applause.) They were foremost; and that was due to their superior education and discipline. As showing the universality of the Soot, he said that one day, while he was in an inland Japanese town, he whs in a school and told that any of the pupils could give a recitation in English. He picked out one lad who, in faultless language, gave Grattan's euiogmm on Wiiliain Pitt, the only other striking thing he disoovered in his delivery being a very s'.rong Scotch accent. (Load laughter and ap- plause.) Mr ALII. LOW responded. (i I^r- T. WALLAOE, in proposing tlie toast of Ihe Caledonian Sooiety," alluded to the large amount of money it had spent in relieving necessitous Sootch people in Cardiff during ti e past year, and said that as the Scotch in Cardiff nad done so well tbey might take up the subject of ednoation and endow a Caledonian Society scholarship in the University College. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Mr WILLIAM MAOMKITB responded, and men- tioned that during tho year £ 97 had been giveu by the sooiety, and between 130 and 140 persons had been relieved. (Applause.) As to the suggestion to endow a scholarship, which in its way was a good one, he though liby might first of all contribute as much as would feed and clothe the children. (HeRr, htar.) Mr JOHN DUNCAN proposed Brither Scots the Warl' O'er." It was, he said, most in- spiring thought to every Scotohman know that throughout the whole of tbe world on this anniversary Scotchmen were æ-i, doing what the Cardiff gathering were doing-keel)itig up the patriotic feeling and seeing what they could do in regard to charitable work and for the fortunes of the plaoes with which they were associated. (Applause.) Colonel GUTHitim, in a very SYMPATHETIC and humorous speech, replied. Mr J. M. MACLKAN gave the toast of The land we live iu," remarking upon the particular individualities of the Sootch, the Welsh, and the Irisb, and stating that he had opportunities of knowing, as he had been ski rm ishi ng a round. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be impossible to bring together in any of the big Scotch towns as large a gathering of Welshmen RA there was of Scotchmen in Cardiff on that particular occasion but the fact showed the hospitality of the Welsh and the nbiqui.y of the Sootch. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He also alluded to the great part the Welsh, the Sootch, and the Irish had played in establishing the kingdom, aud said that the more the people cherished their national traditions the better they would be qualified to pÏ:\y the parts which they were individually called upon to fill. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor of CATTDTFF, who was loudly cheered, responded, stating that amongst those who had taken a foremost place in the develop- ment of Cardiff were the Marquis of Bute and the chairman. (Applause.) The CHAIKMAN at this stage announced that the FtubqcriptioLis during the evening amounted to j322 9 6d. (Applause.) Dr. R, PATBRSOV proposed The Visitors." Mr RlDL>!cl.L, who responded, said it seamed to be that Cardiff would be happy with either of the political candidates were t'other dear charmer away." (Laughter.) He believed that if Cardiff got larger representation it could not have two better men than Sir E. J. Reed and Mr Maclean. (Applause.) Amongst tlw other toasts proposed and pledged were rite Lassies" by Father Cormack (a circurnstanoe which called forth a good deal of mirth, and proved that tbe Scot in Cardiff didn't need any surgical operation), and responded to by Mr Carr; and "The Chairman," in which Dr. Campbell referred to the valuable services Mr F Hood had rendered to the society. Good night" having been given, the company separated. During the evening songs were sung by various singers, Mr A. C. Toone ably playing the piano accompaniments. Mr R.. Reith also i contributed to the entertainment by dancing the Giiillie Galium," or sword dance, and the Shean trews,"

AN EBBW VALE DOCTOR'S BANKRUPTCY, I I At Tr#d*gar Bankruptcy Court, held ye^Uruay — before Mr Registrar Shepard— the public! examination of Dr, JTohn Daniel Snllivan Aborbeeg, near Ebbw Vale, was held. Debtor i was represented by Mr Tom Hughes (Messrs Bowell and Hughes), Ebbw Valo, and there were I several creditors prasent.

Lately his practice bad diminished to the extent of about £600 per annum, which he attributed to neglect on his part. His failure WM "Iso attributed to the loss of B300 in the erection of a (Iwellirg-liouse at Aberbeeg, aud to speculation. The ex-,Tn;n-%ti,)n WaIII adjourned.

The Quoin hounds met at Great Dalby yester- day, and there were several falls. Mr Stanley Mortimer, of B-irgrave Hall, sustained concussion of the spine and severe bruisee.

I SPORTING ITEMS. -oIII. I j It is stated that we shall see a vastly improved colt ID the spring when Raconteur next sports silk. Bach, one of the competitors iu the Wood 11 I Ditton Hurdle Race at Newmarket, evidently requires further schooling. Paddy has had several spins over the sticks during the laet week or eo, and we may conse- quently see the old horse performing und»r G.N.H. Rules during tbe back-end. Our Irinli neighbours, it is said, inteod patronis- ing the E igiish cross-country meetings ip greater force this winter than they have ever done before. Ryan has one of the best looking two-year-olds at Newmarket in Laveno. This dark colt did not run as a two-year-old in consequence of an acci- dent he met with, but be is all right now, and is doing daily work in Ryan's team. J. T. Hearne, the celebrated Middlesex cricketer, left by the P. and O. steamer Oriental, from th41 Roval Albei t Docks yesterday, en routet for Patiala, India, where he has accepted an engagement from the Maharajah of Patiala to instruct his son and the natives how to play cricket.

The stud greyhound, Simonian, who was tiold by Colonel North to the Grand Duke Nicholas for IP300, and has sinoe won the Russian Waterloo Cup and other stakes in that country, has been repurchased by Colonel North for 9725, and the dog will leave Ru%sia in a few days for filtham. He is by Green tick out of Bit of Fashion, and will stand at Eltiiam at a fwe of 20 guineas. This cannot be considered dear, as Simor.ian is a winner of the Waterloo PurJOP and Waterloo Plnte, and divided the Border Union Stakes of 64 subscriber*, with Fitz Fife, and divided the Hayclock Gold Cup with his kennel companion ami own brother, Young Fuherton, who is now m Russia, having bean purchased by the Grand Doke Nicholas for 1,050 guineas at Kltham on June tb last. „„

A LOCAL PATERNITY CASE. A Cardiff Doctor Summoned. f After having been twic; adjourned, a oaiis came on at she Cardiff Police-court yes- terday — before Mr Stipendiary Lewis- in which a member of tha medical profession named Henry Gerrard Jaoub?, living at Castle, road, Cardiff, was summoned by Alice Amelia Warner, a single woman, of Cardiff. to show cause why be should not contribute towards the support of her illegitimate child. Mr Belcher appeared for the piain tdf, and Mg Lewis Morgan defended. Mr Belcher, in opening the case, said this was an affiliation case in which the defendant was a medical min, named Jacobs. He need hardiy say that those proceed- ings were taken as an absolutely last resort, and that before they came to that court ail efforts to arrange the matter had faiied. In leoountmg the facts, Mr Belcher stated that in August. 1892, complainant had tbe misfortune to be delivered of a child. On thatdafce she called in Dr. Jacobs to attend hor, and he seemed to have availed himself of the know, elge that be had thus acquired. and to have had subsequently frequent and constant intercourse with ber. The acquaintance between tbe parties was made iu Angnst, 1892, when Miss Warner was living in Glenrov-street. and on December 31sc, 1892. when the pls intiff was lodging in Tc dor- road, Dr. Jacobs, who had been endeavouring to effect his purpose, succeeded in having intercourse with his client. This intercourse continued for over a period of 20 months, the child being bore in October of this year. Mr Belcher proceeded bo dea: with the pertinent dates, saying that the defendant had interconrse with her on December ¡vb, 17th, and 29rh. 1893, and January 10th, 16th, and 16rh, 1894. in February, 1894, the plaintiff found that she was pregnant, and mentioned the matter to the defendant. MIPS Warner would tell them that from that date until some time further on Dr. Jacobs prescribed for her a cettaia course of medicine with the object of putting her right again. That medicine WM supplied, he believed, from February, 1394. over n period of some months. Mr Belcher said he should pro- duce the oottltvs which contained the medicine. The Stipendiary I take it yoti will prodaoe them to show that the defendant knew of ber con- dition. Mr Lewis Morgan said his client denied that. Mr Belcher I may say there have been three adjournments, and if Dr. Jacobs is present I invite him to go into the. witness-box. The defendant was not present in court, how- ever. Mr Belcher proceeded to deal with the similarity of tbim handwriting on the directions oe the medicine bottles and with the bill Dr. Jaoobe sent in. The Stipendiary (to Inspector Smith): Just send for Supt. Hayward. I want him to listen to this case. Continuing, Mr Belcher said on one occasion after the confinement,when Dr. Jacobs v isited the plaintiff, the latter expostulated with him, and mentioning money matters, Dr. Jacobs made certain promises as to what he would do for her. With reference to the child, he made use of this extraordinary expression when she asked him what she was to do with the child. The defend- ant said, You must miher smother it or pickle it."

LORD SALISBUKY AND LORD I ROSEBERV. I Tie National Review will attract thi. m&fetli more than usual interest. It contains the Marquis of Salisbury's criticisms of the Earl of R,)sebery's plan for de.-i I ing with theHouseof Lords, The gauntlet, says Lord Salisbury, has really been thrown down by Lord Rosebery to a large section of bis own party, for they have demanded, with great emphasis, that no Honse of Lord* shall exist. Lord Rosebery replies by offering to make them a now House of Lord.. This repij, i8, in effect, says Lord Salisbury, defiance of his followers, but he regards it Be a trifle premature for the Liberal party tc discuss the question of reforming a, second Cham* ber while yet the question of whether there sbauld be a second Chamber at all has not been agreed upon amongst them. Lord Salisbury finds it hard to reconcile Lord Rosebery with himself, but stili harder to reconcile him with aom6 oj his chief followers. His Home Secretary had made a oiromtous reiteration" of hie well- known adhesion to tbat idea of a single Chamber. What then would become of the Prime Minister^ emphatic declaration that he was in favour of a second Chamber ? Did he mean a second Chamber of straw, for that was the only kind Mr Asquith would regard with tolerance ? By ending not mending oould the avowed objects of the Radical party be accomplished, and Lord Salisbury fulij expects that the indispensable second Chamool. will go the way of the predominant partner, and be "dropped with light heart and pleststit scom" Lord Salisbury expresses the belief that the desire and endeavour of certain Ministers tel enthrone the House of Commons as absolute sovereign will lead to a conflict that may last few generations, and that the longer the struggle lasted the more familiar wou'd men beoome with the ways of the Lower House and the less dis. posed to surrender to its uncontrolled discretion either the rights of classes who are in a minority or the unity of the Empire.

I LORD TWEEDMOUTH ST z LIVERPOOL I At the Caledonian banquet held at Li verpoc last night. Lord Tweedmouth eulogised Scotch men in British Colonial Government all ttr; world over, and though that was a ncn-pohtj assemblage he emphasised the fact that tht Premier was a Scotchman and as < Scotchman he (Lord Tweedmouth) asked theii sympathy for the present Government, and afet because a large number of Scotch members oweo their sea" to Scotch constituencies. He im.gill with truth say that Scotchmen were the pte- 'f dominant partners in the Government. Alludt4 to the relations of England and Russia, he said all would agree that the events of the past few weekc I would be productive of peaoe to the two 9ftAl Empires, and better understanding.

Sequel to a Wedding. Thirteen Persons Devoured by Wolves. Saturday Evening.—News has just reached here from the tilliago of Hidos that on Thursday evenidg 13 persons were killed and devoured by wolves. They formed part of a party of about 20 people who were returning home through a forest from festivity. Seven or eight of the party, though badly injured, succeeded in escaping. The whole village was alarmed, and a relief expedition or- ganised. On reaching the spot where the wolves attacked the party all that could be found wore fragments of flesh and bone and torn clothilig. There is no doubt that at least 13 persona perished.

Graham's, the favourite eight, had the outside or Berkshire station, and when the word was given at 2.45 p.m., he at once jumped away with the lead, ana in the first, dozen strokes had a quartorof a length advantage. As Kerehaw had the best of the bend to the Baetle and Wedge, Graham did not increase his lead until after passing the ferry; but once in straight water the favourite drew away at once. At the half-distance they drew clear, and finally be"" Kershaw's eight by two lengths in 10 inmate* 31-2 seconds. The most noticeable of the men were W. B. Stewart (Brasenose), T. H. E.

BIRMINGHAM CATTLE SHOW. Birmingham fat cattle show opened to-day, and manifests its high excellence. There is falling off in entries, due chiefly to the absence of pigt. Of cattle classes the Herefords make the finest display, steore bting especially notioeable. Shorthorn steers are also good classes, and the Queen carries off two prizes M well as the first for Hereford steers. There is an excellent show of sheep, aud the display of wools is one of the best seen.
