HOWELL'S COUNTY SCHOOL,I
HOWELL'S COUNTY SCHOOL, A large attendance of leading local ednca. tionalists and relatives of pupils iis&c-mbled ab Howell's Glamorgan County School for Girls ab L'andaff on Tuesday afternoon, on the occasion of the annual prize-day. Throughout, the spacious buildings had beeu decorated, and the largest class-room, where tiit3 prizes were awarded, presented a. pleasing sight, the 60 boarders all being dressed alike in simple, yet artistically-fashioned, light brown dresses, ornamented with neat velvet yokes and Jaco collarettes, this attire being due to the initiation of the excellent headmistress, Miss Kendal, and replacing the ugly uniform of a few years ago. Lord Tredegar, the chairman of the governing body, presided, and among those who supported j his Lordship were the Ron. Miss Bruce, Mr O. H. Jones. J.P., Alderman the Rev. Aaron Davies, Mr Franklen (clerk to the Glamorgan County Council), Mr John Duncan, J.P., County Councillor F. Jofcham (governors), and Me C. R. Waldron (clerk). After the completion of a musical programme, winch established the high l character of the training given in the institution, Lord Tredegar distributed the Drizf's- Scripture—Form VI., Gertrude Luscombe, Cievedon; form U.

Lord Tredegar afterwarcts delivered a brief but humorous address, which was appro- priate to and much appreciatf-d by his mixed audience.—Alderman Aaron Davies, in moving a vote of thanks to the president, roierred to the recognition of the educational itteds of women, and showed how former privileges were now | regarded as rights. It had, he said, given him ■ the utmost pleasure as a worker fur the eq uali ty ef the sexes in educational matters to see from the recent examination lists of the University College, Cardiff, that the women wero utilising their I chances. (Applause.)—Mr John Duucau, in seconding, said that so great was the interest which Lord Tredegar had always shown in the I school, that it would not seem right if his Lord- ship were not the president on occasions of that kind. (Applause.) Hn was pleased to be able to say that the teaching and training of Miss Kendal and her assistants was exemplary, and especially pleased to observe, as no parent could fail to notice, the brightness.? of the pupils. It was evident that attention was paid to the pupils' physical health as well as intellectual improve- ment. (Applause.) The governors were actuated by one desire. It was not to rest contenb with the maintenance of the present high position of Llit) school, btit to go on increasing its status and usefulness. (Applause.) The school then "broke up" for the long' vacation. The scholars will assemble on the 2 st September, on which day a public examination will take place at; the school for two exhibitions entitling the holders to flee board and lodging, with tuition, for one year, but renewable at the discretion of the governors Suutil the holders shall have attained the age of 17. The governors have discretionary power to make a grant for clothing in addition. Candidates must be resident in South Wales, and must not be under 11 or over 15 years of age. The scholarships will be awarded to the candidates who pass the best examination, subject to the condition thai; the governors will not award a scholarship to any cirl who is not from her pecuniary circumstances in need of ib. There are also vacancies for seven boarders, which will be offered in preference to girls who pass this examination successfully. Scholarships for day scholars, con- fistiug of remission of tuition fee, will also be offered for competition by girls not under 11 years of age, who are and have for not less than three years been scholars in a public elementary school in South Wales. There are also 20 vacancies for day scholars, on payment of the ordinary tuition fees. No candidate who-ie acquirements are not equivalent to the filth standard can be admitted to the school. Tho railway fares of qualified candidates will be paid, but no railway fare will be paid for,more children from any one school than there are vacancies. Mr C. R. Waldron, of 96, St. Mary-street, Cardiff, who is clerk to the board of governors, will be pleased to supply any further particulars, and all applications for places at the examina- tion must be senti, to him before the 14-th of next month.
I A SECRET OF GERMAN SUCCESS,
I A SECRET OF GERMAN SUCCESS, All over Germany are societies -or unions- organised to encourage colonisation and to help extend the foreign markets, projecting all kinds of schemes for bringing German products to the- notice of foreigners. In connection with these unions are the commercial schools, the strongest of which is that of the Hamburg Union, for commercial clerks. This numbers upwards of 42.000 members, and with a capital of about £ 5,800. In the 40 years of its existence it has foutid places for 40,000 young men. Kept in constatil; contact with home by correspondence, emigrating clerks or merchants make themselves agents for the Fatherland, and, ever close to each other by the bonds of such unions, unconsciously it may seem sometimes, but nevertheless with i, certainty, they find foreign markets for home: 'products and situations for German clerks.
'IA" GOING-OFF" CLUB SECRETARY…
A" GOING-OFF" CLUB SECRETARY MISSING. Considerable sensation has been caused in Rochdale upon its becoming known that a young man, well-known in the town, who had lately been engaged in secretarial work relating to three "going-off "clubs, had suddenly disappeared. Serious deticiencies have been discovered in the accounts ot two of the clubs, and it is reported 'ble for these to that the missing man is responsible for these to the extent ot £80. It is alleged that be has failed to pay into the bank members' subscriptions, and aJso that he has failed to to enter the payments in the cash-book of the club, aud appropriated the' subscriptions to his own use. The deficiency 111 cne case was discovered when the members' cards and the club's books were being balanced up prior to the division next week for the usual rush- bearing holidays. When asked for an explana- tion the young man admitted that he had incurred debts through betting which he was unable to meet, and had appropriated the funds of the club to meet his liabilities. The full extent of the defalcations is nob yet known.

SPORTING ITEMS. C. Ward has been engaged to ride Bedlight in the Lewes Handicap 0:1 Saturday. A thousand has heNt invested upon Sir Visto for tll St. Leger at 7 to 2. The colt by Sheen—Morniner Glory bas come on of late. He is a likely competitor for the Astloy Stakes at Lewes. Captain Machell put the Prince of Wales on Wise Virgiu for the Stewards* Cup, and that at | a good price. During exercise on Newmarket. Heath Funny Blat became very restive, got rid of the iad 011 his back, and bolted, CllmlU to grief ou some rather hard prourd. Ho was severely cut aliout the knees and stifle joints, but the exact i xr-ent of the injury cannot an present be ascertained. Lock and K-y, who was supposed to hold a chance second to nOlw tor tho Corporation Plate at Brighton yesterday, never even left New- market, although the telegraph service overnight told of her departure. As a matter of fact, she hit her leg on Saturday, which was the reason why she did not leave home. At the sports of tLo Northampton Cycling Club yesterday Watkin», Bacon, and Pearce, the w.-ll- known long-distance runners, 1Iwt ill 11. four miles scratch race, with the result that Watkins just bp,at the One Mile Am.iU-v.r Champion, with Pearce (ex-four miles champion) third.

He had residing in Australia, aud took a prominent part in cricket there. He figured again and again with success in the contests between Victoria and New South Wail(- aud when Gr^ce/s Eleven played Eighteen of Victoria in 1873, Robertson captained the victorious team. Andrew Kirkcaldy, of St. Andrew's, has chal- Imged W. Fernie, of Troon, to playa match over three Scottish greens for £100 aside. The greens to be St. Andrew's, Troon, and a green to be afterwards decided upon, and the match to be played within a month. Andrew is at present in tine form, and in a match with Illil brother Hugh on Monday evening at St. Andrew's went the round of the litilis in 77, beating Hugh, who scored 80, by one hole. There was a most remarkable race yesterday at tbe weeting of the Stuko Victoria Athletic Club, when Bradley and Downr-r met one. more over a distance of 100 yards. Owing to the rain the track was holding and heavy, but despite the con- ditions this fleet-footed pt 'r Crau' a severe race, the verdict being a dead heat, and the time returned as evens. The men afterwards turned out again, and, strange to say, a dead heat was again the result, the time being officially given at figures which it is very hard to accept.

I Among those who came were some elders of t Kirk, and one who held a similar office in the Free Church. After the races were over the Duke askei the Free Church elder how he had enjoyed himself. "Grand, your Grace, just grand and I've won some bits o' bawbees too, but dinna let on to onybody, for I m an elder. Tuts, never mind that," said the Duke. So- j and-so and So-and-so have been betting too, and they are elders."

Of course, a dress suit could have been bought, hub the fact of his possessing it would have injured him with working men. The Prince renewed the invita- tion, and Mr Broadhurst said he would accept it if he were allowed to have a bit of dinner in his own room. This was courteously conceded, and Mr Broadhurst went. He was shown to his room by the Prince himself. Noticing that the j fire was not lighted, the Prince took matches, went on his knees, and kindled it himself. --0-- WOMEN'S WAISTS.

On Tuesday next, the 13th inst., the Master ot the Rolls (Lord Esher) will attain his SOth birth- day, having been born at Lenham, in Kent, on August 13th, 1815. Mr William Baliol Brett was educated at Westminster and Caius College, Cambridge; was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in January, 1846, and was created a Queen's Counsel in 1860. He was appointed Solicitor. General in February, 1>:68, was made a Judge of the Common Pleas in August- of the same year. He was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal in November, 1876, and 1n April, 1883, was promoted to the office of Master of the Rolls, receiving a peerage two years later- We understand there is no foundation for the report circulated that the learned Judge contemplates retiremenh soon, as he is in the enjoyment of excellent health tt present. --0-- GRACE TESTIMONIAL. The Daily Telegraph JNational Shilling Testi. monial to W. G. Grace totalled up to last night 83.913 shillings. --0- THE TELEPHONE. "We sometimes hear queer thmga over the wire," remarked a police telephone operator to a Washington Times reporter. Calls were coming in slowly one night, and between switches I was reading a. very interesting and higtiJy exciting novel, when with a whirr and rattle the ex- change shutter dropped. I closed the circuit and yelled Hello,' and a man's voice, in pleading and wild tones, came forth from the receiver, For God's sake send some policemen here, quick- quick—they'll kill me Just then I could hear another bass voice howl, Here's the-- He's callin' for the police. Let's give him-' and I heard a sound like something coming in forcible contact with something fleshy, and the crack that pealed from my receiver nearly deafened me. I know the first speaker's head had come against the instrument. Then with a ratble the wire was cub off. I called up the central exchange again, but they had forgotten where the connection had been. I have often wondered what the strange midnight message 'meaut, and several times I have endeavoured to find the station where perhaps a murder was committed, or ab least a mtkrderous assault occurred. --0- DARK JULY ON BEN NEVIS. During July, out of a total possible bright sunshine of 528 hours, only 24 hours were re- corded. Fourteen days were without sunshine. BECOBD BEATING. Of all place3 for a bird's nest the buffer of a railway wagon surely beats the record. As a wagon laden with ironwork for a new jam factory was being recently unloaded, one of the men observed a little moss protruding from a small hole in the eentre of one of the buffers. Upon examination he found inside the buffer a snug nest containing one tiny egg. As the wagon had travelled from North Stafford to Histon, near Cambridge, a distance of 150 miles, the marvel is that the egg was not broken. The poet Cowper has immortalised a pair of chaffinches which built their nest in a pulley-block near the top of a mast, and then followed the ship to sea, and the above is perhaps equally deserving of record. -0-- EXAMINATION GEMS.

The Russell Case. I
The Russell Case. I APPEAL DISMISSED. I Lord Justices Lindley, Lopes, and Rigby to-day dismissed the appeal of Lady Russell against the judgment of Baron Pollock, who, following the finding of the jury, refused to grant her a decree for restitution of conjugal rights. Their Lord- ships at the same time held that Lord Russell was not entitled to a decree of judicial separation, ruling that danger to mental or bodily health was necessary to constitute legal cruelty, and that there was no evidence of this in the present case. The failure of a respondent's case, their Lord- ships explained, did not necessarily involve the granting to a wife of a decree for the restitution of conjugal rights where the object was not a desire to resume cohabitation. Both applications were therefore dismissed with costs. A later telegram states that Lord Justice Rigby, differing from the other two judges, was of opinion that the jury were justified in regard to Lord Russell's plea in concluding that legal cruelty had been established.

A RUNNING DOWN CASE.I
A RUNNING DOWN CASE. I Action Against a Cardiff Firm. At the Cardiff County Court this morning— before his Honour Judge Owen a running down case was heard. The plaintiff was Riohn,d Walters, a farmer, of St. Bride's, Monmouth- shire, and the defendants Messrs Wood Brothers, Limited, Cardiff, who were sued for L43, ttiz) value of a trap and the damage pbmtitf's II horse sustained through a collision with the defendants' furniture van on the highway between Newport and Chepstow, as well as for a set of harness and personal injuries. Mr T. M. Phillips (instructed by Mr J. C. Llewellyn, Newport) appeared tor the plaintiff, and Mr Arthur Lewis (instructed by Mr T. H. Belcher) defended. Briefly, the facts of the case were that on April 30th plaintiff, who is a farmer residing between Newport and Chepstow, was driving home in the evening. Some four or five miles outside Newport he met three vans belonging to defendants. Plaintiff pulled his trap in and called out. The first two vans cleared his dogcart, but tho third collided with the plaintiff's trap and he was thrown into the hedge. The horse) all away and was subsequently discovered, with the fragments ot the trap, in a ditch some two miles from the scene of the accident. Plaintiff himself had suffered in consequence of the mishap. In the course of his examination plaintiff said he gave JB17 for the horse early in March, aud since the accident it had been too lame to work. The front van carried lights, but the two behind had no lamps. Evidence was given to show that the value of the horse was greatly reduced that the remains of the trap were worth about E4, and that the set of harness was practically spoilt. For the defence it was stated that the plaintiff had no lights and that he was driving 12 or 14 miles an hour. Defendants' driver said be felt no shock when passing plaintiff. His Honour gave judgment for £ 22, with costs.
ISOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY.…
SOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY. Prof. Herkomer to Open the Autumn Exhibition. Professor Herkomer has consented to open the exhibition of the South Wales Art Socioty in Cardiff on October 5th. The statement of a Cardiff contemporary that the distinguished artist would open the arts section of the Cardiff Arts, Industrial, and Maritime Exhibition i lext year was erroneous. Profes?or Herkomer stayed at Stradey Castle during the National Eisteddfod week with Mr Mansel Lewis, who is an old member of the South Wales Art Society, and to whose influence, exercis(id at the invitation of Mr P. Hagarty, the hon. secretary of the society, it is due that Professor Herkomer will perform the interesting ceremony named. The South Wales Art Society has secured tha splendidly-situated and thoroughly-suitable pre- mises of the Glamorgan Club, opposite the Tafr Vale Railway offices, for its permanent home, and these will be adapted to the requirements of the society in due course. The formal opening of the building on October 5th by Professor Herko- mer will be an auspicious event in local art circles, and will undoubtedly give a deserved fillip to the society and its work. The professor is one of the vice-presidents of the society, and senfc the fine portrait of Archibald Forbes to last year's exhihi- tion. A hope is entertained, after the outspoken observat,iotis which ho made at tho National Eisteddfod, that Professor Herkomer will consent to deliver an address on art, in connection with the opening of the South Wales Society's Exhibition,
fHECHORAL CONTEST AT LLANELLY.i
fHECHORAL CONTEST AT LLANELLY. I Prize of .£15&. ThA Jfovth Committee is making an effort to hold an Eisteddfod on a large scalee in October. One of the objects in view is to offer a chief choral prize of j3150, to give an opportunity to the choirs who competed at Llanelly to again enter the lists. Mr Dan Davies, leader of the Merthyr Choir, in reply to a Porth deputation, whilst completely disavowing all beHigerenb notions, said he would have no objection to com- pete. Mr Dan-Davies further expresses regret at ,the tone adopted by Mr John Thomas, in a letter to-day to one of the dailies. He says he agrees entirely with the spirit ot Mr Astle's letter in the Sonth Wales Daily News of yesterday, and deprecates any attempt to introduce per- sonalities and illfeeling into the controversy. He distinctly denies that he has authorised anyone to speak or write in his behalf. He has, he says, taken no part in the matter. He quite agrees with the idea of cultivating music .for its own sake, and not for any paltry end. Ho has also the fullest confidence in the ability of the I Merthyr Choir. It may further be pointed out that Mr Thomas- is mistaken in supposing that it is the secretary to thealorthyr Choir who wrote suggesting that the Merthyr and Rhymney Choirs should hold a- special competition at Cardiff. Mr Sandford Jones is the leading secretary, and neither he nor any other official has written to any paper.
IA BRUTAL HUSBAND,
I A BRUTAL HUSBAND, John O'Neil J was sent to prison for six weeks with hard labour at Cardiff Police Court this forenoon for assaulting his wife in Spring- field-place on the 6th inst. The wife in giving her evidence tried to screen her husband, saying that she was drunk and aggrava.ted him. P.O. Arthur Williams, however, happened to be on duty near the place at the time and was a witness of the assault. He saw prisoner, who was sober, rush at his wife, knock her down, and kick her in the mouth and about the body.

Mrs Seligmann, a member of a well- known banking firm in London, who has taken I Shoreham Place, near Sevenoaks for a time, was driving in a carriage, in company with her I marrIed daughter; when'near a railway bridge the pair of horses attached to the carriage became frightened by a passing train and commenced to bolt. The carriage collided with a grocer's cart, and the fpole of the former was broken. Mrs Seligmanu and her daughter were thrown from the carriage on the railway embankment, the former lady sustaining broken ribs, whilst the other is now lying in a dangerous and unconscioua state. The grocer's driver was thrown from his cart over a fence, and the coachman and footman were also hurt, the former lying at the present- time in Sevenoaks Cottage Hospital.

I The Salisbury Baby. I GUAM TO VALUABLE I YORKSHIRE ESTATES. Another Amusing Incident. I THE VERDICT. I Mr Justice Hawkins to-day summed up in thd Salisbury baby claimant case. His Lordship said the issue was whether the child the jury had seen was that of Mrs Salisbury, and as such was entitled to estates in Yorkshire valued at from £ 800 to £ 1,000. During his speech Mrs Salisbury dropped the baby's milk bottle, which made considerable clatter. As the Judge looked at her she begged his pardon audibly. Resuming, his Lordship said the question was one simply of fact, and devoid of any points of law, and that he could give the jury little assistance. The jury found that the child was nob Mrs Salisbury's.

A NOTORIOUS MENDICANT AT NEWPOitT. Half His Days Spent in Prison. Henry Clements, who described himself as a printer, of Bristol, evidently p,efers a meudis cant's life, though it sometimes involves period of imprisonment, to worklllg at the printer's case for it was show to the Newport magistrates at their sitting to-day that during tho last six years Clements had been convicted sixteen times for begging by the Cardiff magistrates, and that he had spent three years out of the six in Cardiff Gaol six of the sentences were for three months each. Growing tired of the life at Cardiff, he withdrew together with his wife and repaired to Newport, where be has already earned the character of an assiduous and persistent beggar, who calls at the same houses day after day. Clements, who stood m the Newport dock for the second tune, was most respectably dressed, and Deputy Chief Constable Brooks told the Court that on the previous day Clements' wife too:: a splendid dinner to him to the cells, much better than many a hard working man could get. It was determined to give Clements a further change, and he was sent on to Usk for a month to the establishment where only the officials get splendid dinners."

Turkish Atrocities. I MR GLADSTONE ON THE ARMENIAN CRISIS. Important Speech at Chester, ^HK^TKR, Tuesday.—This afternoon Mr Glad- stol-e was present at a pub!ic meeting held in the Town Hall, Chester, for the purpose of consider- ing the Armenian crisis. It had been convened by the Duke of Westminster, who is lord- lieutenant of the county. There was a great demand for seats, but only 600 persons could be accommodated in the ballroom of the hall, and the approaches to the budding were thronged an hoar and a half before the proceedings commenced. Mr and Mrs Gladstone were much cheered both on their arrival r.nd departure. The Duke took the chair at half-past 3 o'clock, supported by the Bishop of Chestbr, the Mayor of Cnester, the Bishop of Hereford, the Recorder cf Chester, Rev. Dr. Chfiord, the Arch-Priest Barouin (Manchester), Chevalier Miliranoff (Armenian Association of Frauce), Mr Robert T. Pain (president of the Peac" Society of the United States), Rev. Stephen Gladstone, Mr Herbert Gladstone, M.P., Mr Stevenson, M.P., several representatives of the Anglo-Armenian Association, and a number of Armenian mei- ehnnts resident in the North of England. -^L" Gr ARSTON; who on rising was received with a great outburst of enthusiastic cheers, -aid so iar as he was individually concerned, he was of opinion that the admirable remarks which tile chairman lJad already made had supplied them witfi quite sufficient material to bring tbem to the cotic'u-ion winch they were invited that day to adept. It was rather in order to meet the txpectntion and demands of others than because lie thought lie had important contributions to to the purpose of the meeting that he now obeyed the call of the chairman, and ventured to address them. His first observation should be a repetition of what had fallen from the chairman, wiio had assured them that that meeting was not a meeting called in the interests of any party (cheers) or having the smallest connection with those differences of opinion which naturally and warrantably in this country would spring out in a complex state of affairs and divide on certain questions man from man. But it was satisfactory to observe that that freedom of opinion and even those differences themselves upon certain questions gave increased weight and augmented en:phasis to the concur- rence cf the people, to the cordial agreement of the whole nation in those matters where the broad principle of common humanity and common justice were at stake. (Cheers.) It was perfectly true that the Government whose deeds they had to impeach was a Mahomedan Government, and it was" perfectly true that the sufferers under those outrages, under those inflictions. ware Christian sufferprs not wholly. The Mahometan subjects of Turkey su ffered a great deal, but what they suffered was on]y in the way of the ord inary successes and defects of an intoler- ably bad Government, perhaps the worst on the face of the earth. (Rear. hear.) The fact with which they had now to do was, he was sorry to say, the opening up of an entirely new chapter. It was not a question of indifferent laws indif- ferently enforced it was not a question of administrative violence and administrative abase it cut farther aud went to the root of all that con- cerned human life 111 its elementary conditions. If instead of dealing with the Turkish Govern- ment and impeaching it for its misdeeds towards Christians, "ie were dealing with a Christian Government that was capable of similar misdeeds towards Mahoinedan subjects, our indignation ought to benot less butgreater than now. (Cheers.) If possible, the sentiment in America enter- tained on the subject of these recent occurrences was even more vivid and even stronger, if it could be, than that which beats in the hearts of the people of this country. The terms of the resolution which he had to move were as follows That thi" meeting expresses its conviction that her Majesty's Government will have the cordial support of th entire nation, without distinction of party, in t'li (-nt i re   h;ch i t may aci p t, for securi-,i!z any measure which Ü may adopt for securing to the people of T,¡rkish Anneni¡1, 8udl reforms in the administration cf that, province -is provide effective gu trainee for the safety of life, honour, relig 011, and property, and th3.r, no reforms j can be effective which are not placed ¡¡n(er Ihe con- ti'iuous control rf the Great Powers of Europe. That meant, without doubt, the Great Powers of Enwlw, which happily had already combined, had already, in his judgment., pledged their honour as well as their power to the attain- ment of the objects in view. (Cheers.) It was uot merely Eurapeau witnesses with whom wo had to deal, we had Armenian witnesses also in the field, and the testimony of the Ameri- can witnesses was the same as that of the Europeans. Thtswasof stiH greater importance, •wl r r this reason, everybody knew duH zln(?rica hud no separate or sinister political interests of any kind in the affairs of the Levant. She catne j not only with clean hands, but she came into court perfectly honest and perfectly unsus- pected, and that which Ehf- said pa"- sossed on that account a double weight. One of the witnesses, whom he must sy he was disposed to name with honour, was Dr. Dillon, the special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. (0heers.) He bad been completely confirmed by the inquiries of the delegates appointed by the I three Puwers, England, Franc, and Russia. (Ldieers.) Ac tne nsic ot nis life Ih Dillon had acquired a title to be b it(?N,e?d He gave us an account which b"ars upon it all the mark" of truth, but which was hardly credible. The whole sub-tance of Dr. Dillon's recent magazine article might be summed up in four words, plunder, murder, rape, and torture. Every incident turned upon one or other or upon all of those awful words. Plunder and murder they would think bad enough, but plunder and murder were ahno?ii venial bv the s' de of the work of the ravisher and the work of the tor- turer as it was described and as it was more fully and authentically known tohavegoneon. (Cheers.) Who were the doers of these deeds ? The Kurds were the tirst of the agents in this horrible business, and the next were the Turkish soldiers, who were 111 itc) sense behind the Kurds in their performances, and the third were the peace officer?, the police, and the tax gatherers of the Turkish Government. And there seemed to be a deadly competition among all these classes which should prove itself an adept in the horub'e and infernal work ii, was 1-)e f ol-e B,, that was before them. But above them, and more guilty thAn 'hey, were the higher officers of the I Turkish Government. There was not one of the misdeeds for which the Government at Constan- tinople was not morally responsible. (Cheers.) The aavp.are Kurds were unhappily the neighbours of the Armenians, the Armenians being the representatives of one of the oldest civilised Christiau races, and being beyond all doubt one of the most industrious and one of the most iiiteH.gent^ races in the world. (Cheers.) These Kurds were wild, savage clans. The pretence has been set -p by some that it was because the Armenians Sad rebelled against Turkey, m"aU!nf>» as far RS it had any meaning at ail, that in certain cases if they had any arms they ende.avouref' to defend their property, their houses, wives and ther children. The Turkish Government had disarmed ihe Armenian popu:ation. het "?? turned out the Su)t:RM? c-ivalrv, the barbarians and savages from the hills. How wero thc--se accounts received at Constanti- nople 1 Weil, t-hi y wou'd have said that if there had ever been tbe smallest foundation for the sanguine hopes which over 40 years ago were entertained for th,e better government of Turkey that thty wouhl have been received with greater eagerness to discover the wrongdoers and the marauders. On the contrary, they wore received in the first p!3,0? with denials. That WM not a new exp3?'?"t on the part of the Ottoman Govetn'T?"?- It w?s exactly the same tiling in Bulgaria in I816. After these Buigari:lll tttin? iu Buf?r?in 1S76. Af'er theae Ba!?a,)-?n th? :iU\'uenic rt'crch(>S d the p)'Ment Lc.rd Cromer on the part of the English Government, a formal statement was printed and circulated by the Turkish Ambassador in this country, in the name of his Government, denying entirely the Bulgarian outrages. The fact was falsehood was the weapon which the Turkish Government then used, and falsehood was a weapon familiar to its use. It was used on this occasion, but the Powers were Hware wivh whom they were dealing, and dele- gates impartial delegates ou the part of France, England, and Russia, were appointed, and they completely made good all the worst allegations that had teen made. There was to- day an announcement that the Powers, exas- perated by the tergiversation of the Turks, were determined to put a summary end to the whole rf these too long protracted proceedings. (Cheers.) They had the whole power and authority to send a Com:)n?)oner iaco Armenia, and to e?b'e and auchorise th&t Commissioner to gov&rn the coiiiitry in the name of the Sultan, and there was named for the ex?rcise of those great powers a gentleman not an Englishman, not one of a race supposed to be in strong sympathy with the Christians of Turkey, a gentleman named Von Kallay, who has been entrusted with the difficult work IIf reforming the administration of Bosnia and Herzegovi na, and had earned a most honour- able name in the discharge of that office. He j was a Hungarian. The Hungarian Mrgyars were I not to Iw* supposed to be at all in sym- j p.itliy with the Chritian races of Turkey. What did that matter if he was a good man, who I understood what he was about and intended to do it ? Th- y were not going to set up any jealousies in order t3 interfere with a more satisfactory march of affairs. He was not entitled to assure them that those words were tru". He wished to God it were true. It was probably not in the power, and probably not yet the duty, of the Government to give us authentic information. It had been very long- withheld and be must assume, although he did not knew. that the late Government had good I reasons for withholding it. He did not hesitate to say that much the clearest method of dealing with this subject, if they could have done it, would L.v::1 been to tell the Turk to marok o"t of Armenia. (Loud cheer".) lIe had no right to remain there, and it won Id be an excellent settlement of the question. But; it was by no mean* certain that Europe or even the three Powers would have been unan imous in seeking afttr that end. Therefore, let them part with everything except what was known to be indispensable. They should accept no Turkish -promises. (Hear, hear.) They were absolntelj and entirely worthless. They were worse th" worthless, because they might serve to delude C, few persons who, without information ca experience, naturally would suppose, wheK promises were given, that there waf something like an intention of fulfiiffienfc Recollect that no scheme was worth having uule* it be supported by efficient guarantees entirely outside the promises ot the Turkish Guvernment6 (Cheers.) There was another word which ht must speak, and it was this. They must not be too much afraid to hear introduced into thou discussion a word that in ordinary cases ought tc be excluded from all diplomatic proceedings, nanieiy, the word coercion. Coercion was a wore perfectiv well understood in Constantinople, an d it w,s a word IIIg-hJy apj1reciat,ed in Constanti- it w, ? a word highly a p nople. It was a drastic dose (laugliter) which never failed of its aim when it Will administered in that quarter. (Laughter. Grammar had something to do with this case, recollect that while the word, ought," soundec in Constantinople, passed into thin air and hat no force or validity whatever attached to it, of the contrary the brother or sister monosyllable, the word must," was perfectly understood —(cheers)—and it was a known fact, supported by positive experience which conld be verified upoc the map of Europe, that a timely ans, judicious use of that word never failed of its effect. (Cheers.) They had reached a very critical position indeed. Here were threv g-reat Governments m Europe ruimg a. populatiof of more than 2001000.000 souls, with perhapf eight or ten times the population of Turkey, with 20 times the wealth of Turkey, witb 50 times the influence and power of Turkey, wo. were committed themselves in this matter and he put it that their honour was pledged, and if thev receded before an irra- tional resistance of the Sultan tbef were disgraced in the facf; of the worlcL For one," continued the right hon. gentleman, for the sake of a voiding other compl'cations, I would rejoice if the Government of Turkey would come to its senses, if only men like Fuad Pasha and Ali Pasha, who were in the Government of Turkey after the Crimean War, could be raised from the dead and could inspire the Turkish policy with their spirit and with their principles. That is in my opimoa what we ouriit all to (iesire and though it would be more agreeable to clear Turkey than to fiud her guilty of these terrible charges, yet if we have the smallest regard to humanity—if we are sensible at all of what is due to our own honour—afcer the steps which have been taken within the last twelve or eighteen months, we must interfere we mast be oareful to demand no more than what is just, but at least as much as is necessary, and we musS be determined that with the help of God thafc which is necessary and that which is just shall be done whether there be resistance or whether there be none." (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Canon MCCOLL seconded the motion, and said he had been assured that Lord Salisbury believed that tins Chester meeting would strengthen his hands indealing with this question. (Cheers. ) The resolution was carried with acclamation, and votes of thanks followed.
IMUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.-'
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. The trouble that has arisen about Trinidad Island seems to be much ado about nothing. The islet, which is uninhabited and contains no signs of animal life, lies 700 miles to the east and a little to the south of Rio de Janeiro. The party from the Barracouia, which landed and annexed the island in January last, found the landing difficult. They landed on the western side, where there was much surf and no shelter, and, climbing up the precipitous rocks, formally read thp proclamation of annexation, nailed the British fi??g un a spar. and buried the proclamation in a bottle at the foot. The y?Mtc? correspondent at Havana says that the gunner of the Barracouia was appointed Governor of the island, and the surgeon medical officer. I ■
