WESTERN MH, FRIDAY, mT 27, 1881. DISTRICT NEWS. LATEST GENERAL NEWS, ANOTHER DEFALCATION AT THE CARDIFF DOCKS. SECOND EDITION. SWANSEA BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE TERM OF OFFICE. such "numbers high must have come from nobis souls. The late Mr. Jonh Parry has, we find, in his Interesting sei-TSs of letters on Welsh melodies in the "Cambro Briton" (1822), found several of the old Welsh airs introduced into English and Continental operas, under new names, without any acknowledgment, but Parry, Thomas, and Richards, assuming the character of shepherds of the muses, wandered into the wilderness, and brought the wanderers back into the Cambrian fold. One feels pleased to find that Dibdin, in the opera "Libsrty Hail," made no attempt to place a fraudule'nt brand on the air, 'The Bells of Aber-dovey," for he actually endeavoured to give the only Welsh verse which had lived with the air through the ages.

Here it is Oswytti'n fy ngharu Fel 'rwyt fi dv guru di, Mai un, diu, tri, bedwac pump, chwecti, Meddau ctyehau Aberdyfi, The following are tho lines which Dibdin wdded to tha melody in his Liberty Hall Do salmon love a lucid stream, Do thirsty sheep love fountains Bo Druids love a doleful theme, Or goats th cragy mountains Tf It be true the thinga are so. As truly she's my lovey A nd os wit I yng Carrie Ewy fy dwyn dy garrie di. As eln, doi, tri, pedwar, pimp, chwtck, Go the bells of Aberdovey. The Welsh spelling is Dibdin's, and not mine I am told by a friend who visited Aberdovey some time ago that, the belfrey there does not contain, as lie believes, more than one bell at present. Pirates occasionally robbed churches of their bells in the olden time.

Irish pirates were fond of visiting Wales, and it is not improbable that the bells which once chimed Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech at Aberdovey are now and again heard awakening the echoes of the land of the O'Neils. It would be Interesting were some one to tell us what Miss Jane Williams says in her collection about the air. I have been unable to obtain a look at a copy. The usual weekly meeting of the Swansea Guardians was held at the workhouse on Thursdav, under the presidency of Mr. J.

T. D. Llewelvn. Mr'. H.

A. Chapman proposed that the term "for which guardians are elected be extended from one year to three years, and that application be made the Local Government Board to issue such orders as may be necessary to carry out this change. He advocated the extension of the time office partly on economical grounds. The expense of a contested election in the board was 150, and this alteration would result in a saving ot 300 in the course of three years. reason was that twelve months was not sufficient time to enable a person to get thoroughly acquainted witli the duties of a poor-law guardian He believed 1 he chan.Tt would also cause ratepayers to take more interest in the election of guardians.

They would have to get the consent of a majority of the voters, as well as the consent of the Local Government Board, before the change could be adopted; but he would suggest that they should ask for permission to take the sense of the ratepayers at a properly advertised public meeting. Sir. l'mhj) Rogers seconded the motion. Mr. M.

B. Wittiams said that unless Mr. Chapman was to add to his motion, that it is desirable that the voting be by he should hardly be disposed to support it. Air. Edward Bath said the only scheme sanctioned by the Local Government Board would be that, although each mcmbei should ue elected three years, one-third of the whole board should retire annually.

Therefore, the argument of economy fell to the ground. He pointed out that the present annual elect ions did not make many changes in the constitution of the board. And it would cost money to aiter the system. The Chairman said that if the ratepayers were really desirous of this change, and he had not heard that they were, he should be willing to vote for it. But there must be a clear majority of the ratepayers or tho union, and to ask them tho question would cost something like 200 at least.

He thought the proposition had better bo an abstract one, stating that it is desirable to assimilate the election of guardians to school board elections. Mr. Philip Jenkins and Mr. John Buse spoke against tha motion. Mr.

Chapman liaving replied, the que? tion was put to the meeting ana lost. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS DURING THE YEAR 1880.

THE WELSH SUNDAY CLOSING BILL. IS MONMOUTHSHIRE IN SOUTH WALES? LETTER FROM LADY LLANOVER.

Sin, In consequence of a jesting remark and reply given by the Attorney-General to a question put by Mr. Hus3ey Vivian, the hon. member for Glamorgan, oh Thursday night (the 19th instant), superficial readers may ba misled, although the answer cannot for a moment dispossess the county of Monmouth of its incontrovertible position as a part of the Principality of Wales in the mind of anyone who has a legal, a local, or an historical knowledge of the circumstances of the case, or who takes the trouble of accurately noting that such a reply neither does nor ever can make the slightest difference in the following facta. The Principality of Wales is a province which in its physical geography, demonstrated by its mountains, rivers, and minerals, has a character of its own, and the county of Monmouth forms an indissoluble part of that Principality. With regard to historical evidence, history informs us that until the time of Henry VIII.

the county of Monmouth was included in the country of Wales." The Legislature of that date proceeds upon the fact that it was so, and besides innumerable other proofs of the correctness of this assertion, no1 Lord Chancellor or Attorney General, however learned, ever did or ever can, from that time to this, virtually sever tha county of Mon. mouth from the Principality of Wales, or disprove that tho Act 27, Henry VTIL, c. 26, specified that the county of Monmoutli was part of the dominion of Wales," as stated in these words It ia therefore enacted that all the residue of the 3aid Lordships Mafcheis within-the saide Country or Dominion of Wales shall be severed and divided into certaine particular Counties or Shires, that is to say The Countie br Shire of Monmouth, the Countie or Shire of Brek-iioke, the Countie or Shire of Radnor, the Countie or Shire of Montgomery, the Countie or Shire of Denbigh. And that the Lordsljips, townships, parishes, commotes, and cantredes of Monmouth; Chepstow, Matherne, Llanmihangel, Goldcliffe, New-port, Wenllouge, Llaaweme, Caer-lion, Oske, Trelccke, Tinterne, Skynfreth, Grous-mont, Reglan, Calicotd, Biston, Abergavenny, Penrose, Grenefeld, Maghan, and Hoch-vyslado, in tke Country of Wales," aro specifically named. Camden, Humphrey Lhwyd, and other high authorities confirm the and that eminent lawyer, Sir John Doddridge, in his Historical Account of the Principality of Wales," published in 1714, in giving the Divisions of Wales, says, The whole country is now alloted into shires, which are thirteen in and among the thirteen he places Monmouth.

The question asked by Mr. Hussey Vivian, the bon. member for Glamorgan, was as follows: the definition Wales in an Act of Parliament would be legally held to include Monmouthshire This was in reference to the Sunday Closing Bill for Wales, which had previously been passed a second time by a large majority, but in which it appears tho framer of tho Bill had named only twelve counties, the one omitted being the county of Monmouth. Mr. Hussey Vivian naturally hoped that tha words Sunday Closing Bill for Walts" would include the county of Monmouth, in spite of the oversight in enumeration and he asked the Attorney-General if such was the case.

Those who know the Attorney-General must be well aware that none possess more subtle legal acumen. He avoided serious discussion 3nd the utmost that can be said is, that he implied that. he had never before considered the subject, as he candidly avowed that until he saw the question ho bad never known of the doubts regarding the construction to be placed on the Acts of Henry VIII. The hon. and learned member for Taunton has, no doubt, various matter of greater moment to his own constituents to occupy his time and thoughts, but is much too good a lawyer to advance an untenable plea be merely pointed out that in the Reform Act of 1832 the Monmouth Boroughs were treated in a similar manner to the English boroughs.

This bo more proves that Monmouthshire is not part of the Principality of Wales than it proves that the whole of Wales has disappeared and is non-existent, because the Laws ano? legislation in Wales are now the same as those of England, which they used not to bo but the change of laws does not turn one country into another, any more than a Welshman residing on liis own Fatherland is turned into an Englishman, because he is judged by laws which equahy apply to English and Welsh. There is a wide difference between a country whichis peopled, by a race that lias never been extinct from time immemorial, and that still retain and maintain their national identity, and a country where the native race has been exterminated and although there are thousands of the natives of England and Scotland who have been attracted to Wales by commercial speculations their presence can no more destroy or remove any portion at Wales from the place it occupies or deprive it of its right to individual consideration than the presence- of hundreds and thousands of the natives of Wales in London, Bristol, Liverpool, and Middlasborough can change those places into Wales. English residents do not change Dublin Mid Cork into England, nor can the great Welsh publishers in Edinburgh render the Scotch capital Wales. It is very evident that the opponents of thB Sunday Closing Bill for Wales are fully aware their cause is materially assisted by debarring the county of Monmouth from participating in the action of the Bill for Wales but this does not in the slightest degree disprove her being a portion of the Principality of Wales upon incontrovertible rounds though the omission of the name in the ill only renders it more incumbent upon the inhabitants of Monmouthshire to continue to urge their suit by petitions, whether they are successful or unsuccessful. It is impossible for any lawyer to prove a negative.

There is not any Act of Parliament which has removed the county of Mon mouth out of Wales, although there are various Acts and numerous official reports which distinctly prove that Monmouthshire is part of Wales, and has been treated legally as such up to the present time. I am, A. LLANOVER. "THE BELLS OF ABERDOYEY." WHO WROTE THE AIR? (By Mobien.) Since your literary antiquary wrote in reference to the authorship, of the above popular air I have taken some trouble with a view to ascertain par-; ticulars. I may be permitted to state that down to the time I wrote it was popularly understood in the neighbourhood of Treforest, where Mr, John Thomas (Ieuan Ddu) spent many years of his life, that he was the author of the air.

But it is now clear that this wa3 an error. Still it is exceedingly probable that in conjunction with Miss Jane Williams, Aberpergwm, a leading hand in bringing it anew to the: notice of his' countrymen. It is not published In his Cambrian where, if I remember rightly, are about 60 old Welsh airs given for the first tune in a popular lonn, ana in tne preiauo mj u. he states that he had many other Webh airs, for which there was not room in that volume. No-w, the first to publish at least in Wales "The Bells-of Aberdovey was Miss Jane Williams.

It is veil known that the patriotic lady of Aberpergwm was indebted to Ieuan Ddu for at least valuable aid in forming her collection of Welsh airs, and the probability is that this association, with the publication of "The Bells of Aberdovey," a song until then little known, led many to believe that he was the author of it. I find that Pencardd Orwalia, Mr. Brinley Richards, andOwainAlaw o.tmnivTartirw! themselves indebted for the sone to Miss Jane Williams's collection. It is likely, as old Cymmrodorion still among us win auiuu, that it was Ienan Ddu who jotted down this air whilst1" listening to some Cambrian mountain mniHnir it amonp her milk nails; for it well known that many of the most charming melodies of ancient Cambrians, who were too busy in repelling invaders to be able to write them rescued under like circumstances by bim and Miss Jane Williams. When we learn that those airs are unsurpassed oy any produce a oy the modern musically-trained geniuses of the wiwM a.

Welshman may be pardoned for asking in what school wore tie authors of these ancient Weteh melodies trained These airs bave been handed down irom some eariy penou, ueo civilisation in Wales was in a high condition, for IMPERIAL PAKLLUIENT.

Mr. GRANT-DUFF, in reolv to Lord Cecil, with reference to the murder of Captain Elliot by the Boers, said Sir Hercules Robinson Had received an explanation from the Boer leaders, which is as follows: They say that, during the war, their hands were so full that they had no time to think of anything ehe, and that their promise to cooperate wasmade on the 21st of March, after which date the Government was out of their hands, and they had no power to aTrest.

They had since given the names of the persons believed to be implicated and stated that they are willing to assist the officers of justice in arresting these persons when tie warrant of apprehension is issued. VACCINATION. Mr. DODSOX, replying to Mr. P.

A. Taylor, said he could not adroit that there was a substantial difference among the highest medical authorities on the point- as to wnetner mo lympn empiuyeu was a protection against small-pox, or whether it mig-ht not be simply an agent for the diffusion of small-pox. The great bulk cf the profession were of opinion that its employment in vaccination was a protection against small-pox, and not an agent for the cnausion ot it. At tne same time ub muai, point out to the hoa member in reference to the other part of the question that if all matters tor preventing or curing disease with regard to which some difference of opinion amongst doctors might be found were to be postponed until they all agreed (laughter) not only vaccination, but afl medical treatment, would have to be suspended for even an infinite number of centuries. laughter.) THE CAPTURE OF MR.

Sir CHARLES DILKE, in reply to Sir George Campbell, said that her Majesty'3 Government h3d authorised a ransom to be paid to the brigands for the release of Mr. Suter, and the Turkish Government were informed that thoy would be held rfisnonsible for the amount, and also an indemnity to Mr. Suter's wife; and, in order to ensure Mr. Suter's saf etv, the brigands had been inJormeU tnat they should 'not be pursued by troops as long as Mr.

The Government had not received further information of evictions, but the information that had been received would receive their -very serious considera tion. He was. afraid tnat a mil tor suspenamg evictions, judging from what happened last year on another Bill, would cause serious delay. NEW MEMBER. Mr.

Ecroyd (C), introduced by Colonel Stanley and Sir John Holker, took the oath and his seat for Preston amidst loud Conservative cheers, and ironical cries of Lawson," Lawson." THE EVICTIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. A. Si. SULLIVAN (H.R., Meatk) said he should like to ask the Prims Minister a question which, with the indulgence of the House, he would preface with a few remarks.

It was iu reference to a sugsestion which he presumed to offer to the Trinio Minister, or rather an appeal which he made to him in reference to the lamentable state of things in Ireland with reference to tho evictions on the one hand, and the extremity to which the Land League was pushing to resistance the payment of rent on the other. There were some on that side of tho House who deplored these things, and who were honestly desirous of seeing some truce established that would spare Ids country the horrors of the present contest, and therefore he would appeal to the Prime Minister to say whether it would not be practicable to do something, and come to an. arrangement whereby this rush of evictions could, on the one side, be stayed, and, on the other hand, tho people be called upon to discharge their honest obligations and pay their rent. He could only say that he was the ambassador of no one, and that there were some Irish members who would heartily throw themselves into the effort to effect, in the interest of peace, an honourable adjustment of the terrible state of tilings which now prevailed in Ireland. Mr.

T. P. O'CONNOR (HJL, Galway) asked the Prime Minister whether he was aware that at a meeting of the Land League on Tuesday last it was announced that tho list of evictions was larger than on any previous whether he would take steps to stop them. Mr. MITCHELL-HENRY (H.R., Galway) asked whether the Prime Minister was aware that at the same meeting of the Land League a gentleman had made a speech suggesting that no rents whatever should be paid.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, in answer to tho lion, gentleman who last spoke, that he had iieard with very great dissatisfaction of tho announcement to. which he had refeired, because such astatomeut added to the difficulties, not only of governing Ireland, but helped to take away the chanco of restoring to that country peace and prosperitv. In answer to the question put to him by Mr. T.

P. O'Connor, ne was not in possession of tho most recent he would suggest, therefore, that the question should be put to the Chief Secretary for Ireland, who will be in his place probably on Monday next. THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE DERBY. The SPEAKER, in reply to Sir Wilfrid Lawson, said, according to the usual practice of the House, the motion to adjourn the House, over Derby-Day would always have precedence. As there would be a morning sitting on the Tuesday, it rather complicated the matter, but as the question -of adjourning overa given day relatedto the business of the House he considered that it ought to have precedence of other business at the morning sitting.

fHoar, hear.) Mr. R. POWER (H.R., Waterford) asked the Prime Minister whether he would consent to move the adjournment of the House on Tuesday until Thursday. Mr. A.

M. SULLIVAN appealed to the Prime Minister in the interest of the Irish Land Bill not to move the adjournment. Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not propose to meddle at all. Mr.

B. POWER I beg to give notice that I shall on Tuesday next at two o'clock move that this House do at its rising adjourn until Thursday. (Hear, hear.) Sir WILFRID LAWSON (, Carlisle I beg to give notice that I shall oppose. (Loud laughter.) CUSTOMS AND REVENUE BILL. The House went into committee on the Customs and Revenue Bill, resuming at Clause 20, upon which a notice of amendment was put upon the paper by Sir 15.

Lcighton. Mr. GLADSTONE said that he was prepared to make a concession to the extent that where, in consequence of the operation- of recent agricultural distress, landlords had been compelled to occupy their own farms, and where no profit resulted from such a course, a remission of income-tax should be allowed on that account. This wa3 agread to after a brief discussion. Clauses 21 to 25 inclusiFe were agreed to.

On Clause 25, Mr. WHITLEY (C, Liverpool) objected that it would have the effect of throwing upon tho landlords the liability of the house tax in default of payment by the tenants, where the houses were let for periods of les3 than a year. This, he said, would have a very injurious operation in the large towns, where a considerable quantity of property was habitually let for periods of from three and six months. Mr. GLADSTONE said he should be sorry to make any change that would seem to be going behind the backs of persons interested, and he would, therefore, consent to the clause being struck out of the Bill.

The clause waB struck out accordingly. On clause 29, which gives power to the person applying for probate to deduct debts and funeral expenses before arriving at the amount on which the duty was to be paid, Mr. GREGORY moved an amendment, wherebv the schedule of debts should not be taken as an admission or evidence of the debt as between the creditor and the estate or representative of the deceased. Mr. GLADSTONE objected.

The whole of this change was made for the benefit of the taxpayer, but the relief was being given at some risk to the revenue, and they must have some securiQr against a long line of debts being run up for fraudulent purposes. Mr. GREGORY then asked leave to withdraw hi3 amendment, which was agreed to, and the clause was ordered to stand as part of the Bill. The remaining clauses of the Bill were then disposed of with only slight verbal alterations, and the Bill passed through Committee. The House then resumed.

THE LAND BILL. The SPEAKER informed Mr. Richard Power that the instruction to the committee on the Land Bill which he h3d placed upon thepaper was irregular, because it authorised the committee to do that which it already had the power to do. The same remarks applied to the instructions of Mr. Warton and Major Nolan.

Sir WALTER BABTTELOT (O, issex, on tho motion that the Speaker do leave the chair to go into committee on the Land Bill, moved that "No Bill can be a satisfactory solution of the question unless it includes provisions enabling the court to hear all claim3by landowners for compensation for losses heen sustained under the pro visions of the Bill, and on sufficient proof thereof to award reasonable compensation." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said he did believe that the Bill would not result in any loss to the landlord, except tho loss of power which he ought not. to possess, and while he saw nothing in it that would do injustice to the landlord, he saw a great deal that would protect the just rights of the tenant. Mr. Gorst (C, Ckeiltam), Mr. Rathbone Ceer-Ttctrwn), Mr.

Lewis (C Londonderry), Mr. Grey (Z Northumberland, Grantham (C, Surrey, and Mr. Macartnoy (C, Tyrone) continued the discussion. Mr W. FOWLEB (C.

Westminster) apt) to the House to allow the Bill to go into Committee to-night. Mr GLADSTONE made a similar appeal. iff or desultory conversation, the House went into Committee on the Bill, and, on the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, immediately afterwards re- 8UThf other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at twenty-five minutes to three.

ANNEXATION OF THE TURCOMAN TE1LRIT0RY. An Imperial Ukase appeared at St. Petersburg on Wednesday formally announcing the annexation to Russia of the Transoaspian Steppe and the Tekke-Turcoman country, which will henceforth te called he Transcaspian. Military District General Rnhrberg )ms been appointed Governor of the new region and com. mander of tli troops stationed there.

Such is the termination of the Tekke expedition, and of Russia's assurances that the sole object of lier advance was to chastise the marauding Turcomans, and ensure the safety of her caravan routes. Xo one will dispute that she lias effectually attained these ends. The question of Merv and ius importance to Russia may now be calmly discussed by the advocates for the hurried evacuation of Candahar, an example which, it was thought in some quarters, Russia would follow on her side. Advices from the Transcaspian region report the great activity displayed in pushing on the railway. It is confidently expected that the line will be completed to Krail-Arvat by the beginning of June.

From Kizil-Arvat the country is fiat and fertile, and presents no obstacle to the work of extending the line across the Oasis. The Natioml Zatvng of Germany, whilst severely condemning Russia's double-dealing policy, regards the abandonment of Lord Bea-constield's policy, as shown by the evacuation of Afghanistan, as fatal to the British Empire in the East. Our London correspondent tclcgraplis The report that by an Imperial Ukase the Tekke-Turcoman territory has been formally annexed to Russia has caused a very bad impression in both Liberal and Conservative circles. The affair is looked upon as something like a deliberate breach of good faith with this country, and as inaugurating a poiLy of Central Asian aggrandisement by Russia which is even in advance of the policy of the late Czar. Tne hand of Ignatieff is seers in the transaction, and the whole business is put down to the alliance of the three Emperors.

Such is the Conservative and old Whig view, and little is heard but derisive commentaries upon the credulity of our Foreign Office and the bad faith of Russian" statesmen. A reference to the recently published dispatches of Lord Dufferin wili show, however, that in conversations which our late envoy to St. Petersburg had with members of ihe Russian Government it was pointed out to his lordship that theexigenciesof Russian policy iu Central Asia might precipitate events such as the annexation of the country, if not of Merv itself. Hence there is nothing inconsistent with that conversation in tho Ukase formally incorporating the Tekke Turcoman territory under the administration of the Caucasus, though it is certainly inconsistent with the pacific intentions, involving nothing less than the abandonment of the Russian operations in the Tekke country, sug-toaterl hv t.he recall of General Sfcobeleff. The Emperor has disappointed many of the hopes which i nwi nis accession to nower, ana usiuuui' tivii of ttie Turcoman country is unuouuieuij a business-like movement winch ill accorus witn tne theory of a retrogressive Russian on the Persian frontier.

OTionnell (iffi Ditiuari-an) asked if any confir mation naa Deen receiveu uv wiu uijvciuiucuu ui the statement of the annexation by the Russians of the Tekke Turcoman territory.

RECOVERY OF 23S BODIES. SHOCKING SCENES. Further particulars have been received oi the distressing steamboat accident reported on Wednesday to have occurred near London, Ontario. It appears that large parties of excursionists had tone down the river on which the town is situated to spend tne queen's Dirxnuay iionuav i. iavoe- rite resort called Kpringbank, and on returning in the evening the boats were much overcrowded.

One of them, an old steamer called the Victoria, had between six and seven hundred persons on board after leaving the last station there was also a band, said to nave been a portion oi that of the 7th Fusiliers, and space had been cleared on deck for dancing. About a mile from her destination when near the Cove Railway livid, the Victoria suddeniv neeJea over on one eirtn nmnbnr of uersons rushed to the opposite side, but the boat gave a sudden lurch and went down almost immediately, going completely to pieces. The steamer's boats and life-belts are said to have been in good order, and at the place where the accident occurred tne water is omy auuui thirteen feet deep: but the catastrophe was ao m.HHan. nnr! t.h name so intense, that large number of lives were sacrificed that might otherwise have been saved. A number of people were picked up by- boats which hastened to ttie rescue, ana there were saved by clinging to the wrecijage until they could be taken oft.

itie scene is rtrenhfirl liRartrendmE'. Men macto aesuerate efforts to save their wives and children, but the confusion was so great that it was difficult to re cognise faces. The air was so mil ot snneiis ana cries that voices could not be distinguished. The maiorit of tho drowned were fathers and mothers and their children, who dang together. Persons of all nosit.ions in life are anions the dead.

Whole families have in some cases disappeared, whilst nearly every family in tne city sustained bereavements. Most of the persons lost, however, belonged to the artisan class. When night fell the river banks and the bridge were crowded with npnnliv Tho whole citv seemed to be there. Fires were lighted, and petroleum barrels and torches blazed all along the river banks. The other two boats of the line reached the scene at eight o'clock, and took away the bodies as fast as ttiey were recoverec.

The manager, George Parrish, was remonstrated with by several persons at Springbank, and urged not to let the boat go out in such a dangerous condition. He is said to have replied, All right.

In the shape of manufactures the committee have secured the use of a carpet, loom, which will bo in actual use during the whole of the time when the exhibition is open, and the entire process of carpat making displayed, from the earliest to the latest stages. Other exhibits, which will, no doubt, attract much attention, will be a collection of different kinds of electrical, mining, and general apparatus, which will be very extensive.

THE CORN LOADING ACT OF 1880. BOARD OF TRADE PROSECUTION AT NEWPORT. Oa Thursdav at the Newport borough police-court (before Mri T.

P. Wansbrough and Mr. K. W. Jones) Alexander Watson, captain of the steam ship Alvab, was suminoneu lot not tamng tne precautions required by law to prevent the grain in his ship from shifting by in-loading the grain, on the 12th of April last at New Orleans.

Mr. Vachell, of Cardiff, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Vaughan, of Newport, for the defendant. Mr. Vachell said this was another prosecution by the lioard of Trade against the captain of the steamship Alvah for an alleged contravention of the Carriage of Grain Act, 1880.

Section 3 provided that where a grain cargo was laden in any British ship all necessary and reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the cargo from shifting. If theso were not taken tha captain was liable to a penalty not exceeding 300. And later on it was provided that where grain was carried in bulk the hold should be fitted with a longitudinal bulkhead, and with sufficient shifting boards which should extend from deck to deck, and from deck to keelson, ao that the hold should be main tight, with proper fillitiffs between. In the event of there being any contravention of the provisions of that section, tnen it wouia do noia that proper precautions had not been taken. The facta of tliis case the first of this kind since the passing of the Act-wero these: Last April the Alvah took in a cargo of grain at New Orleans, and came across tho Atlantic to the portof Londan.

The Alvah did not meet with tempestuous weather, but met with a succession of southerly winds. One day there was a strong gale, and then the vessel took a heavy list. On the other days she had a light list. When the vessel reached London Saul Warner, shipwright, surveyed her for the Board of Trade, and found that on the passage she had sustained a list of 6ft. 7in.

Had the weather been tempestuous it was not to be expected that she would have reached her destination. The result of the shipwright's examination was that on the starboard side, from the deck down, there was a space of 3ft. the whole length of the ship, and that the cargo made its wav to the port side of the vessel. In the forehold the shifting boards were not grain tight and badly fitted and out of seventeen beam openings there were only nine beam, fillings. The most important point with regard to tne torenoia was, uiai the space from the after part of the foremast to tile iron bulkhead behind it had no shifting bourds at all.

There was a space 2ft. 9in. in length and 15ft. in depth without anything to prevent the cargo from shifting from one side to the other. In the after hold tho shifting boards were not grain-tight, and at the mainmast there was a large space through which the grain could find its way easily.

Saul Warner, the shipwright, gave in detail the result of tho examination he made. William Stephens, tho mate, was also examined. In cross-examination he said the shifting boards were put up under the-inspection of two surveyors, whom he understood to be Board of Trade surveyors and for the underwriters. The cargo was laden under the of the suryyors. The surveyors were very particular in seeing the regulations were carried out.

A certificate given by the two inspectors, to the effect that the regulations had been complied with, was put in, but the witness said it did not como under his cognisance. A question was raised on the ccrtificato of the inspectors, dated the 13th of April. By the 5th 3ec. of the Act it was provided that, if the regulations of the underwriters in New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia were complied with, that would be held to be a compliance with the Act; but it was not until the 7th inst. the Board of Trade included New Orleans.

Mr. Vaughan contended tliat his client had complied with all the regulation? prescribed by the Act and that tho stringent regulations of New Orleans having been carried out, the Act of last year had been abundantly complied with. The Bench dismissed the case, giving the defendant the benefit of doubt3 in his favour, especially in relation to the circular issued by the Board of Trade. ACTION AGAINST THE NEWPORT (ALEXANDRA) DOCK COMPANY. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, London, on Thursday, tha case of Curven The Newport (Alexandra) Docks Company was resumed before Mr.

Justice uenman and a special jury. The plaintiffs are the owners of the screw steamer Henry, which, in September, 1880, was being taken into the dry dock of the defendants for repair, when she had a list to port and toppled over, causing damage estimated at ahmit. JH.O00. The damaces, however, were to be settled out of court. Mr.

Russell, Q.C., appeared for the piainuns, anu Mr. Guliy, Q.C., and air. Crump represented the defendants. This was an action brougnt Dy tne piaintiris to recover compensation for damages sustained by their vessel whilst in the defendants' dock. In laftn ihe, rlointiffa' vesfittl.

The plaintiffs also contended that the shores supplied by the defendants for their vessel were slight, and that some of them were, in point of strength, unfit for the purpose. The defendants denied that the accident was caused by the negligence of their servants, or that the acts of their servants had contributed to the accident which befell the plaintiffs' vessel.

A Cork telegram states Jlr. Bence Jones's cattle were on Thursday, at Bandon Fair. Late on Wednesday night six farmers' dwellings and two labourers' cottages at Carrigeleena and Glashaboy, County Cork, were maliciously burned down, the occupants fortunately escaping. A man living in one of the houses had given offence in some land affair, and the incendiaries, it is believed, burnt all the houses to make vengeance certain. At Glangoolan, County Loitrim, on Wednesday, 600 troopers collected to protect a bailiff while serving processes for rent on the property of Lord Annesley.

Thousands of people surrounded them, and their attitude was so violent that the bailiff retired without serving his processes.

The tenants, however, met on Thursday, aud decided that, as they pay a fair rent, they will demand no reduction. A rumour is current that tho land meetings of Sunday next will bo proclaimed, and that it is the intention of the Government to prohibit for the present all public gatherings organised by the League.

The following letter from Mr. Gladstone has been received by the Secretary of the Shropshire Chamber of Agriculture: "Sir, I am directed by Mr. Gladstone to inform you that he has received a copy of the resolution passed by your chamber, which you were good enough to forward to him. In reply, I am directed to state that farm buildings are not intended to be included in the valuation of houses under the Inland Revenue Bill, and that it would, in Mr.

A COLLIER DESCENDANT OF A NORMAN KNIGHT. (jeom oob baubling corhestosdent.) One evening lately I was visited by an old woman who was both poor and aged, and who held in her withered hands a brown looking book' which she asked me in a pitiful way to buy. The book was called "Colyn Dolphin," by Taliesin Williams (Ah lolo), father of Mr. Edward Williams, the well-known ironmaster of Middlesborough, and was one of the works which established Ab loio's" reputation as a poet, and an antiquary. "Iam very poor," said the old woman, the book my husband's he wouldn't part with it, but he is dead, aad it is no use to me.

He was one of theStradlings!" "Colyn Dolphin," I may premise, was a pirate who used to haunt the Glamorganshire Coast, and plunder wherever it was possible. On one occasion hs had the good luck to fall in with Stradling, and detained him until he was ransomed, which was only done by the sale of a large portion of his estates. But Stradling had a poetic retribution, for Colyn, in the end, met an ignominious fate. See the poem, also "Tajes and Sketches of Wales." And your husband was a Stradltag," said looking at the poor, withered object. "He was, sir." And in the course of a conversation I learntthat he had come from Coity, near Bridgend that in the early part of his career ho was a poor tailor, and, up to his death, a still poorer collier, at Cyfarthfa So long as he lived he had clung to the book as the last relic of the old family greatness.

They had come into Glamorgan as Norman knights. The great ancestor had received from Fitzhamon the estate of Llanwerydd, afterwards known as St. Donat's; and there is no more interesting record in existence than that of the Stradlings down to the period when the present worthy owner of St. Donat's, Dr. Kicholl Carne, a descendant of the Stradlings, took possession I could but recall the vivid picture given by Sir Walter Scott in a poem ringing with the wild effervescence of war, and the poor tailor, and poorer collier, who had died one degree only from the workhouse.

To realise it, here are just a few lines from tie Wizard of the North: From Chepstow's towers ere dawn of morn Was heard afar the bugle horn. And forth in banded pomp and prjde Stout Clare and fiery Neville ride. They swore their banners broad should glesm In crimson light on Rbymney's stream i They vowed Caerphilly's sod should feel The Herman charger's spurning heel. And south they swore the sun arose, And Rhymnev's wave with crimson glows, For Clare's red banner floating wide, Boiled down the stream to Severn's tide. And sooth they vowed the trampled green Showed where hot Neville's charge had been In every sable hoof-tramp stood A Norman horseman's curdling blood.

With this ringing in our ears recall the descendant, a wretched life, a miserable death, and this poor waif, tattered and god, who, in the accident of life, might have been Dame Stradling, and whose end might have been typified by sculptured effigy, with clasped hands and recumbent dog at foot. There is notiing more levelling than time. A descendant of a Plsntagenet keeping a cobbler's shop, the scion of a Norman house working as collier, end, up till lately, perhaps is so now, in tha ironworks, a decent, well-conducted mason, a Maliphant, a family who, in the 12th century, were represented by-as fiery a Norman knight at ever ravaged THE NEW SAFEGUARD AGAINST COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS. We referred in thefat? of the 20th instant to the new invention of an automatic watering tank patented by Mr. Herbert Kh-khouse and Mr.

Henry Watkin Lewis. Mr. Kirkhouse holds one of the leading positions of miningengineer in the county, and Mr. Lewis, of the Trenerbert Foundry, is already favourably known by many successful inventions, the last in particular a patent haulier for collieries, numbers of which have been supplied, not only in the district, but even as far as Cumberland. The present invention is thus described in full: As the coal and other dust in tlieairin mines has been proved to be explosive and otherwise injurious to workmen, hence our invention It consists of a cistern or cisterns carried upon a framing made of wood, iron, or steel, or any other suitable material, with wheels and axles to run upon the same road as the trams or waggons, or upon any road in the mines or other places.

The said aides are secured to the framing with ordinary plummer blocks or brackets, and one or both of the said axles are to ba single or double cranked, or fitted with eccentrics from which a pump or pumps can be driven either full or empty as the ank travels along with the journeys through the mines or other places. The said pump or pumps are driven by the said cranked axis, axles, or eccentrics, and fed from the tank. At either end of the tank is fixed a circular pipe perforated with small holes or other openings, which are supplied with liquid from the pump, and forms a complete jet or spray as the tank travels, thereby laying the dust which is suspended in the air. The pump or pomps are fitted with a balance relieving valve and stopcock so that the liquid can be worked through the pump and back into the tank without forming a' jet or spray in case it should not be required, and thereby saving the liquid while the tank is still in motion. Such are the details of a patent which combines simnlicitv with power in a prominent degree.

It is a step, and we hope a successful one, towards the prevention of the distressing accidents which, periodically desolate our coal districts, andtheprac. tical as well as the hearty thanks of the colliery world are due to tha inventors for their laudable effort. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS, MANURES FOR WHEAT-GROWING LANDS. Ahout 40 members of the Koyal Agricultural Society of England have paid a visit to Woburn, to inspect the experiments which are being carried on there under the society's supervision by the liberality of the Duke of Bedford. After viewing the experiments on the permanent growth of corn and the rotation experiments, one section of the party accepted an invitation or tne uure or Bedford to inspect his herd of Jerseys and his Scotch bullocks, as well as Woburn Abbey, which was thrown open by order of his grace.

Tha other section of the party proceeded to Crawley SMI Farm to see the boxes which the manure for the experimental corn and root crops is made. They then viewd the experimsnte which were instituted last vear for the purpose of ascertaining the value of dissolved and undissolved phosphates. The results of the permanent experiments already obtained show that wheat cannot be profitably grown on tne ngnt sou at woourn, praiMj not on similar sanuy sous eusewneic, iui number of. years, even when the best artificial manures containing boh mineral and nitrogenous constituents are applied to the land in much larger proportion than could be done in actual farm practice on account of the cost of the manures.
