AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. The Public Ledger is in many ways one of the most remarkable and successful papers in America, and was first issued in 1838. It was started by three working printers, who gathered together all the money they had in the world, and found they had barely §5,000 to devote to the enterprise. It was an experiment, for they were without influential friends or support, and started their paper as a small sheet for the poorer classes, to be sold for one cent a copy. Swain, Abell, and Simmons, the three printers, issued their first number from a small office in an out-of-the-way place, composing their own type, working their own small hand-press, and personally delivering their little sheet of four 9in. by 12in. pages to subscribers. It had a difficult road before it, as newspapers selling fbr one cent a copy were then new in America, and the system of cash payments for advertisements and subscriptions was also new, and a rigid adherence to it drove away many customers; but the Public Ledger gradually won its way to favour; increased wonderfully in prosperity, and for many years circulated more copies daily than any other uewspaper in America. The history of the Public Ledger shews what hard- working men can do in the United States by well-directed enterprise: for when Messrs. Swain and Abell (Mr. Simmons died several years ago) sold their paper to the present proprietor, in December, 1864, they retired with a fortune estimated at $5,000,000. The new owner, Mr. George W. Cbilds, was a wealthy Philadel. phian, who, like his predecessors, waa also the architect of his own fortune. He was born in Baltimore, in 1829, and coming to Philadelphia when 14 years of age, began life as a boy in a bookseller's shop. From this he gradually raised himself into the book-publishing business, and when he purchased the Public Ledger, in 1864, waa able to pay an enormous sum of money in cash for the goodwill machinery, and fixtnres of the establishment. His newspaper is now one of the most prosperous in America, and is valued at $2,000,000, together with the new buildings to be opened for its use next week, and a large paper manufactory near Philadelphia, at which all the paper used by the esta- blishment is made. Upon this capital the business pays a large and increasing dividend. The Public Ledger of to- day is a newspaper oi four very large pages, and is served daily at the residences of subscribers for the trifling sum of 10 cents currency a week, about 4d. It has a circula- tion of 70,000 copies. and in; this.; is exceeded by but one newspaper in'the country, the New^ York Herald, while its circulation in Philadelphia, where it goes into nine-tenths of the houses, is equal to the aggregate circulation of the twelve other daily papers published here. It has no pro. fessed politics, but inclines towards Coi servationi, and is almost the only newspaper in the country that inserts no paid matter in its reading and news columns.—Times Correspondent.
AN OLD GRIEVANCE.
AN OLD GRIEVANCE. According to the Telegraph, no good "eason has ever Deen shewn why passengers by railway should be cut off from any communication with the guard or the driver. There is no warrant whatever for that sentence of impri- sonment which directors pass upon their victims, placing whole cargoes of living freight beyond the reach of aid in case of fire or outrage. The very felon "n invoke help if he need it, but the railway traveller is deliberately shorn of every protection. No authority in the United King- dom has the power to shut up her Majesty's subjects and deprive them of all intercourse with the only persons who, for the time being, can render assistance. No doubt it may be pleaded that people submit to the barbarous custom of their own free will; but the fact is, they have only Hobson's choice-they must travel as the directors like, or not at all. It is inexpedient that such power Bhould be exercised by any body of traders. Mr. Sheridan seeks to put an end to the tyranny by forcing the com- panies to provide a means of communication; and, courageously resisting the great railway interest, he successfully pushed his bill through committee. There is no pretence for saying that the roasting of passengers alive, or the perpetration of cruel outrages, cannot be prevented. The problem has been solved on the South Eastern, and on the Great Northern of ance: while effectual means have been taken to supplv Royal trains with ample communication throughout. Nothing but a petty hatred of trouble animates the malcontent railway magnates. What is demanded in order to secure public safety is perfectly feasible. If Parliament will order the security to be furnished, and if magistrates and the public will vigorously enforce the law, every railway in the United Kingdom will, before a year has passed, devise a method of carrying out the intention of the Legislature. By all means let Mr. Sheridan receive support, and let the public have the protection it so urgently needs.
SHALL THERE BE WAR WITH ABYSSINIA?
SHALL THERE BE WAR WITH ABYSSINIA? In the opinion of the Standard, it is time that the country should decide what is to be done with the Em- peror Theodore, in the matter of the English prisoners. These unfortunate victims of the angry folly of a bar- barian king—and, we might add, of the negligence and blundering of Lord RUBSell-still continue to suffer a fate the very contemplation of which is enough to flush the cheek of every honest Englishman. Threats, remon- strances, entreaties, bribes—all the ordinary resources of diplomacy in such cases-have proved fruitless. We have waited patiently upon the magnanimity of this savage Ethiopian, so long as there was the smallest prospect of that patience being rewarded. We have sunk honour, pride, and indignation in the one sentiment of regard for the personal welfare of our imprisoned coun- trymen. We nave even feared to be angry lest our anger might recoil upon the heads of the captivea. We have exhausted such peaceful arguments for moving the heart of this African despot as it waa in our power to use. But all our efforts have failed. Consul Cameron and his fellows still remain in their chains. What more, then, is to be done? Shall we abandon these Englishmen to their fate ? or shall we attempt their release by force of arms ? The prospect of an Abyssinian war is unwelcome; but the question is, is there a safe or honourable alternative? If there be, no one, we are convinced, will hail it more gladly than our present Foreign Minister, who is never likely to be accused of indifference to the cause of peace. But the scandal endures and growB while we are hesitating, and death may yet forestall us of our just vengeance and our sacred duty. Let the Government, says the Telegraph, make up its mind to demand the release of Major Cameron and his companions under pain of war, with the distinct and avowed resolve either to get these men back or to teach King Theodore a lesson that may deter other barbarous princes from following hia example; and it will find the English people ready to support the mission as frankly as they have always done when the honour of England was in jeopardy. Before, however, the Ministry can be expected to undertake shch a responsibility, the House of Commons and the public must be prepared to back it heartily, unflinchingly, arid1 with the fullest recognition of the vastness of the sacrifice which the struggle may demand. ■ -1 1 ■"

A CONGRESS ON 'TGK TJAIRIE PLAGUE. — A European congress of. veterinary surgeons will be held in Zurich from the 2nd to»the Sth of September* 1867. The cattle plague will be the principal subject of discussion.— British Medical Journal, WOIiSE AND WoJtsfi.—Under this heading the Builder gives a Kst of the tenders sent in for the draining work at Mold, Flintshire. They range from Wil- liams, £554 8a." to Hughes and Son (accepted), £ 75 » The Builder asks, "Will anybody explain it? Hay harvest is now proceeding in the south of England. The crops are good and heavy. Such a fine season for artificial grasses has not been knqwn for many years. The wheat is in blossom in Dorset and in other oarts. A man named Stovey is now living at Milborne Port, near Sherborne, Dorsetshire, who fought at the battle of Waterloo. He is 77 years of age, has had three wives and ten children by each wife. All the children are alive. Stovey's birthday is the 18th of June, Waterloo day. Tho Minister of Agriculture has addressed a very clever circular to the mayors of France, enjoining them to punish severely all persons caught in the act of netting, trapping, &c., small birds, whose valuable ser- vices as destroyers of insects he aets forth, demonstrating by statistics the utility of these humble members of the feathery genus. TH0 Honolulu Commercial Advertiser, speaking »!'7pi,^eSrea8e the native Hawaiian population, says: 1 ne decrease among the natives has been going on for a great number of years, but the ratio seems to be accele- rated of late. luring the last six years there has been a decrease of over 9,000. The death-rate among the natives is now about 1,500 a year over the births; and with an increasing ratio this decimation will work the extinction of the race in a quarter of a century." BARNUM'S CURIOSITIES.—Mr. Barnumhas added to the collection of curiosities at his museum a "mammoth infant," said to be four years old and to weigh 220 pounds. His collection includes several other specimens of the lusus natural order, which may interest students of phy- siology and admirers of the marvellous. Mr. Barnum's advertising drop curtain, by the way—of which we did at one time hope to be relieved—is filling up again with cards of shopkeepers. It is agreeable to notice, however, that diseases and medicines are not so well represented as they "-ere before.-New York Tribune. THE BLACK DEATH.—Dr. Mapother's report of the health of Dublin has just appeared. He says: "The mortality during the past month has been mode- rate, 574 deaths having been recorded by the Registrar. General, against 592 during the preceding month, and 528 during the corresponding period last year. The death rate was therefore 1 in 443." Dr. Mapother's report contains the following reference to the new disease:- Seven deaths were attributed to the disease named black typhus' and cerebrospinal arachnites, but of whicti •malignant purpuric ferer* ia the most appropriate description. It is satisfactory to know that this disease did not become widespread or clearly contagious in those places where it has hitherto appeared—namely, the United States, West Prussia, and this city and county hi 1846.

Several benefits have taken place within the la,.t fortnight. The benefit of Mr. Warren, the comedian út the company, and one of the proprietors, showed an ap- preciation of Mr. Warren's endeavours to amuse. The whole of the characters of the Ticket-of Leave Man were ably sustained, especially that of the detective Hawksbaw, played by Mr. Thompson. Tuesday was the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. J. Mengas, and on Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Thompson took their benefit before a crowded house. RHYMNEY. SUPPOSED MURDER.—The greatest excitement has been shown amongst the inhabitants of Rhymney ar.d neighbourhood, in consequence of a supposed murder of a young woman, the servant of the vicar of the patish. From facts gleaned it set-ms the last time on which she was seen alive was about 6 o'clock p.m., on Tuesday the 27th, and she was missing afterwards until the Monday following, when she was found in the bottom of an old pit inta which it is thought she was thrown. A man named Protheroe, who had been keeping her company for some time, and had a child by her some time ago, was the only person seen with her on the above named evening, and suspicion very naturally falls on him. He has been arrested and taken into custody, though he denies the charge, and gives as a proof his being at Mertbyr at the time. ST. GEORGE'S. On Tuesday last the children of the school in this parish were bountifully regaled with tea, cake, &c.' through the liberality of Mr. Bow, of the Droop farm, in a meadow commanding a fine view of the valley, with St. George's church below and St. Fagan's in the distance. After tea the evening was spent in rural sports, including an excellent racebetweer. two donkeys, ridden by John Davies and Thomas Evans, which was won by the latter bringing his animal in hall a length (of the field) before,the other; the horsemanship (ass- mansbip) was much admired by the company, the spirited animals throwing their riders two or three times. Foot-racee were spiritedly contested, Thomas Thomas, Harry Gill and William Harry being the win- ners; jumping in sacks, wbeelbafrbw races, and kiss- in-the-ring completed the evening's amusement. There were 74 children at tea, besides many parents an 1 friends. Mr. Bow, in bis address at the conclusion, assured them that it was one of the happiest days of his life, and that hn felt thankful for being able to make so many young heait-i glad, and to see so many smijing faces around him, assuring them that by perseverance and steady conduct each one of them might raasoriably hope at some fnture time to do as he had done. To the young men he recommended, as a sure way to get on in the world, for them not to be too high-minded, but to stick to a good place when they had onp, and to consi- der their masters' interest as identical with their own to the farmers he recommended that they take more interest in the welfare of those who work under them that they would ceme aod look at the happy faces around him, and take the advice, Go, and do thou likewise." After repeated and hearty cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Bow, the company separated, having spent a time of unmixed enjoyment. NEWPORT. RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—At the borough petty ses. sions on Monday, Thomas Hawkins was fined £5 and cost-1, for having some pieces of brass in his possession which had been stolen. The defendant had bought the metal 01 some boys, to whom it bad been sold by the mate of a ship in the docks, who was committed for' trial for stealing it. George Edward Sergeant, brass- founder, was also fined M5 for a similar offence. RAILING IN THE PARISH CHURCHYARD.—At the meet- ing of ratepayers held on Thursday, it was decided by a majority of 29 to 13, for the overseers to pay a call of JE104 made by the Burial Board, as being their portion of the expense of railing in the churchyard. Notwith- standing the majority of ratepayers present at the meet. ing in favour of paying the call, a poll was demanded, which took place on Friday and Saturday, the number of votes recorded on the first day being :—For payment of the money, 232; against the payment, 52; at the close of the poll on Saturday, the numbers were For payment of the money, 238; against the payment, 58 majority, 180. The Rev. Canon Hawkins presided on both occasions, and throughout the contest 00 the first day a lively interest was manifested by both parties. THE TOWN CLERK AND PARLIAMENTARY FEES.—At the meeting of the Town Council on Tuesday, Alderman Brown asked the Mayor (Mr. W. Graham), whether the town clerk bad paid into the bands of the Corporation treasurer, according to a resolution passed at the last meeting, the sum of £ao received by bim as fees from Mr. Bingham, Parliamentary agent, out of moneys paid him by the Corporation, The Mayor "aid it had not been paid, and that the Town Clerk considered that that resolution was not in force until it was uonfirmed by a meeting of the whole board. It was finally agreed that "special meeting of the Council should be cailed for that day fortnight, but Colonel Lyne hoped the Town Clerk would pay the money to tho treasurer before that time, and thus put an end to the subject. CAERPHILLY. V MIDSUMMER FAIR.—lhe Midsummer fair, this year, was one of the smallest that has taken place here at Midsummer for sometime. No cattle were offered, and but few horses and sheep. The fair wa? fairly patronised by young men and maidens, but not so many as last year. There were several shows here, but very inferior ones. There was a collection of wax works, represent. ing the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, escape of Mary Queen of Scots, &c. We were honoured by a company of performers, whose appearance was Dot very creditable. The owners of the rival shows made a most hideous and discordant noise, which was enough to give one an ach- ing brow, by beating gongs, and grinding an old street organ, &c. It appears that they were well patronised by young people; whilst others pitroDised Aunt Sally" and the photographer's van and a kreat many were en- abled to see the Paris Exhibition for the extraordinary low sum of one penny. A Mr. Nicholas, a farmer, re- siding at Penquarre, in the parish of Mynyddystwyn, had the misfortune to lose £13 at the fair. He did not fitd out his loss until he went home. He cannot say where his pocket was picked, or whether he dropped the contents. We have enly heard ofene robbery, a woman from Machen had her pocket picked. CATTLE MARKET FOR CAERPHILLY.—We are glad to state that an effort is made to get a cattle market here, and it is to be hoped that the promoters will succeed. Llantrissant market has been re-opened, and we do not see any reason why Caerphilly should not make an effort to revive its market. The population has greatly in- creased. Let the inhabitants put their shoulder to the wheel. AN EXCURSION TO CEFN ONN. — Be-ides connecting places, and increasing the trade of the country, and de- veloping its trade, railways have changed the appear- ance of the countries through which they pass. If it were possible for our forefathers to visit their former habitations, they would find a change, and many a change—faces, footsteps,^ and all things strange. The pleasant bill of Cern Onn was not known but to those who lived in the immediate locality; but of late, it has become the object of great attraction, on aeeount of the extensive tunnel which is now being worked under its surface. On the spots where the cattle used to browse in former times, and the lambkins used to play and gambol by the side of tb^ir d4ms, powerful steam engines hava been erected,,and are' busyat work day and night raising the stapy materials, Which fird dug up by the- brawny arn^s of the. sons of ..toil, to imtake way for that moderns" rpfo/mer," tie iron, bor.se, !to pasa through it. week we made an excursion to the suaicaat of thefhill, whien-»— The sun was cafeeringjih gfory and'nligbt, 'Mid deep blue.sky and cloudless white." \ye wended our way rrom the pncieutSengbenydd, along a pleasant path, which svas shaded -by trees which were clothed with green foliage, leaving the Van, the resi- dence of J.. Edmunds, Esq., which was formerly the residence of the Lewises, one of the moat respectable families in Glamorganshire, and ancestors of that esti- mable lady, Baroness Windsor, and of W. W. Lewis, Esq., of The Heath. In a short time we reached the summit of the bill, and we were well repaid for our walk. The view from the stage, which has been erected by the railway company, adjoining the tower, is enchant- iog-hill and dale, sea and land.

MARITIME INTELLIGENCE.
MARITIME INTELLIGENCE. There are a good number of vessels in port taking in car- goes of coal, and the shipments have been tolerably good during the last few days; still there is an absence of that animation which invariably characterises trade when it is- in a really satisfactory state. The actual orders in the hands of steam coal proprietors remain about the same as last week, and employment at the collieries keeps without change. Continental houses are, as a rule, buying sparingly, and the increase looked forward to in the European consump- tion has not yet been realised. This is the season for ship- ments to the mail packet stations, but the clearances are hardly equal to last year. On inland account there is a moderate sale. Several of the local colliery owners are ex- hibitors at the Paris Exhibition. The house coal trade is quiet, the supplies required for the West of England and Irish markets being below expectations. The pits may be said to be on two-thirds time. Coke orders are rather scarce. Messrs. Spiller and Browne have commenced building another steam flour mill, near their present one, at the head of the West Dock. We understand it is intended to work nine pair of stories.—Mr. Gibbs intends going to the North next week for the new tug boat he has had built there. One or two others are expected here shortly. The total number of wrecks during the present year is said to I e 1014. Business still remains very bad. During the past week both docks have become very thin of vessels, but there are a goodly number of small craft, as well as a few large ones coming in this tide. The following are some of the present rates of freights coastwiie for coal:—Dublin, 5s. 3d.; Devoran, 5s. 6d.; Devonport, 5s. Falmouth, 5s.; Galway, 7s. 9d.; Greenock, 6s. Kinsale, 5s. 3d. Londonderry, 6s. Gd.; Limerick, 8s.; New Ross, 5s. 6d.: Newquay, 4s. 6d.: Newry, 5s. 6d.; Plymouth, 5s. 6d.; Redborg, 6s. Tralee, 8s. 3d.; Truro, os. lid.; Teignmouth, 5s. 9d.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK- Andrew Ker, 53, Etm-street, Roatti, was charged with embezzling moneys belonging to his employer. Mr. Ensor ap- peared for the prosecution the prisoner was undefended. Mr. Ensor said he appeared for the prosecutor, Mr. Alfred Ritson Thomas, and the charge he was instructed to prefer against the prisoner, who had been in Mr. Thomas' employ, ment, was that of embezzling several sums of money, the property of Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas had no kind of vin- dictive feeling, and were it not for an imperative feeling of duty he would be quite willing to withdraw from the'case, as it was a very painful thing for him to prefer a charge against a persoh who had held the position the' prisoner had under him; but the defalcationswere considerable, and Mr. Thomas felt itto be his duty to society to proceed with the charge, reo gardiless of persona) feeling. He (Mr. Ensor) would to-day proceed with no less than four, charges—that on the 3rd of August last the prisoner received £ L0 5s. from Messrs. Trayes and Co., .timber-merchants, for which lie had given Mr. Thomas no credit; that on the 9th March he received £52 17s. from Messrs. Trayes, and gave Mr. Thomas credit for only £50; that on the 20th April, Messrs. Trayes paid him £6 for Mr. Thomas, and he gave no credit whatever; and that on the 1st June he received from Messrs. Trayes a cheque for £:.20, and he gave no credit to Mr.. Thomas for it, but the cheque had since been cashed at tbe bank. In all these cases the prisoner had given receipts to Messrs. Trayes on behalf of, Mr. Thomas. The following evidence was given > Francis Radford Frost: I am a clerk and cashier ifi the employ of Messrs. Trayes and Co., timber-merchants, of this town. 1 produce a receipt of August 3, .11:166, for £ 10 55., fiom Messrs. Trayes' office. It bears the word's, Received payment of £ 10 5s. for'A. li. Thomas, A. Ker." Tliat is Mr. Ker's writing. It is a charge-for sawing timber. I know Ker's writing, I have seen bim write. The whole of the r«- ceipt of the invoice is in Ker's writing, On the^8th March I paid Mt„ Ker £ 52 17s, on account, of, Mr. A. K. Ihouias. He gave me the receipt prodded, writing it in my presence Received of Messrs. Trayes and Co. thebatanceof their ac count, £ 52 17s. £ or A. R. A Kel\c O^'20"1 April I paid the prisoner, for Mr Thomas £ 6 and he then wrotereceipt which I produce-Receded ±6 on account fur A. R. Thomas, S. Ker." On June 1st inst. [ gave him the cheque produced, for £ M), payable to" A. it Thomas or bearer,' and he gave me a, receipt now produced, for £ 20, on account of.A. R- Thomas. -Thomas. Han bury: Urn a clerk in the bank of thePrq, vincial Banking Corporation, banted, in Cardiff. Messrs. Trayes and Co. keep an account at that bank. The cheque produced was presented at the bank, and duly paid by me on the 1st of June. I gave £20 far it, but I cannot say to whom. -Atfred Ritson Thomas I am the proprietor of sawmills in this town. The pnsollerwas acierk in mv employment. He had1 no other employment, as far as I am aware, Part of his duty was to collect money for me, to enter the amounts received in a cash-book which was kept entirely by him, ajad to place the money in a safe in his own custody. When the amount in the safe became very large, I took it. There was no regular time or manner for him to pay i over to me. He was 1'1 the. habit, out of the money so received, to payac. counts due from me, and wages. He has not accounted to me for the sum of £10 5s. received in August last. There is no entry of that sum in the cash-book which he kept, and which I produce. The book contains an account of money ptid by Messrs. Trayes and Co., on the 8 h of M (rch, 1867. Tiie amount entered is £ 50, instead of £;)2 lis. There i< n. entry of the sum of £ ti paid by Messrs. Trayes on the 21)111 April, nor of a cheque or sum of£;20 paid on June 1st. The book, in fact, only contains entries lip to May 2;>rd, except the entry nurked JurI", but without the day of the month. The amount paid by Messrs. Trayes on the 1st of June should have been entered by him on that day. The prisoner and I balanced the cash at the end of each month, until February last; hut since that date the cash has never been balanced. I have had a cross account with Messrs. Trayes, but not recently. I can't tell why the cash was never ba- lanced after February. I charged the prisoner yesterday, in my oQioe, with having <:mbez¡!:1ed these four sums of muney. He proceeded to .xpla1nthe Jllaller. 1n some way, but [ reaily don't. know how, for* I did not listen to him. He de. fended himself ¡;enerally against the charg< I llunk he said he had paid away the TnOney, or part of it, on my account, slam not aware that he has given me any credit for these Turns. I bave examined the book, and it containi no entrv. the cash payments he made for me are in the same book. It contains no means of accounting for these sums. I paid the prisoner a salary for the whole of his services. He it himself monthly, out of the moneys he had received, and charged it in the book. He received a month's salary last on the 25th of May. By the prisoner; Do not the payments exceed the credIts in the book 1—A. I cannot answer without balancing book for the last three months. It may be so. [The figUf* were then added up by the prosecutor and his attorney, Court going on with other cases meanwhile, and it appeal that, as the figures stood, the^balance was £ 145 5s. W favour of the prisoner—in other words, the payments- ceeded the alleged receipts by that sam.j Mr. Jones remarked that there was an ingredient usual III embezzlement cases, which was wanting in this case. There appeared to have been no regular accounting by the prisor^ for the money he received. There had been no balancing f1I account between the prisoner and prosecutor since February and only one of the four sums on which the charge was fùlU1. ded was received before that date and as to that amQtlJlt there was no proof of the actual payment to the prisoner, bnt only an identification of the writing of the receipt as his. Mr. Ensor argued that as to the first sum it was the pri- soner's duty to enter it in the bock, and he had not done so" and as to the second it was entered "but with a falsification d the amount. Mr. Jones said the whole accounts seemed to have been sP irregularly conducted, that tlure was room to suppose thj there might be nothing beyond unintentional omissions o" the part of the prisoner. As to the alleged falsification, might be that the prisoner received the £52 17s., and away the odd money in settling some bill of Mr. Thomas, entered the jg50 as net cash remaining in his possession. 1M book on its face showed a large balance due to tbe prison^ and he seemed to have been allowed to deal with the monitf almost as he pleased. The charge was that he had embezzle his employer's money, but on adding up the figures, it appear^ as if he was a creditor of Mr. Thomas, having paid a lar$ sum out of his own pocket on his employer's behalf. It W»? for the prosecution to cast a different light on it if they coal^ but as the case stood it would not be advisable to con mit prisoner for trial, for the law relating to embezzlement w*8 so odJ, and the decisions so contradictory, that cases vrett constantly breaking down on some point or other. Mr. Eosor applied for a remand to enable the prosecution to strengthen their case, and to further examine the account This was granted, the prisoner being remanded to Monday Bail was accepted, himself in £100 and two sureties of £$ PMh. OFFENCES AGAINST THE BYE LAWS.—William Hent:1 W oodward. the tenant of the field between St. Andrelflt Church, Roath Castle, and Cathay's, was summoned for I breach of the bye lawa of the Board of Health, bv buildiog I dwelling house in the borough without snbmittm« plans the same to the board for approval. Mr. Waring' surveyor, deposed that he had examined a huilding in cottrøè of construction by the defendant on land belonging to tJ!. Charles H. Williams, within the borough, near Plucca Liwf; It had proceeded so far as to be roofed. The I-oeal had received no notice from the parties building it. AS & as could be judged, and as the defendent had admitted, it intended for a dwelling house, having windows doors, lirt" places, partitions, &c. It was of stone. The' 39th bye-Ialf of the Board of Health required notice to be given to Board and plans to be submitted, of any intended dwellf^ house within the borough previous to its been bui it. Tb house was adjoining the foot path leading from St. Andrei Church to Roath Castle, on land which was recently coli" verted into garden ground.—Mr. Jones said he supposed tW defendant merely meant it for a dwelling for some one live in to take care of his cabbages.—Mr. Waring said had no objection to the man protecting his cabbaaesEtC" Tiding he did not act contrary to the law. In reply to Raby, who appeared for the defendant. Mr. Waring stated that he had not warned the defendant that must Lot btt# the houae. It was built in a month, and in a part ofll3 borough which he (Mr. Waring) had not happened to vis# during that period, as it was not a populated part of town. The house was in a field, and there was no access ty it by any path or road.—Mr. G. U. Chittenden deposed th*' he was surveyor and agent to theestate of Mr. C. H. Willisi0* of Roath Court.—Mr. Rees Are you the architect of tbj building? Witcess: No, thank you. Mr. Waring surfer that he had called Mr. Chittenden to prove that the def^" dant was the person who had erected the buildin". iJOr. Chittenden then gave evidence that the land of Mr. at the spot in question, hid been prepared for building, plans had been made out of the streets which were to inters^ it. In the meantime the land had been let to the defend#^ as a tenant at will, and he was to give up possesion from time to time as fast aa portions would be required building. Witness was surprised to find that the defendant h*? began building a house on the site of one of the intend^ streets. He called the attention of Mr. Williams to it, went to the spot and expressed his disapproval of the erec't'-0^' Witness also repeatedly warned the defendant that he wotd? get into trouble if'lie persisted in building the house, would have to pull it down again. He gave these wsrfli°o4 for the man's own sake, to save him from expense, but defendant persisted in soing on with the erection. Raby, for the defence, said that defendant had been annoy«J by persons trespassing in the fields end built a sort hut, to live on the spot and protect his crops, having fo'^ that it was in vain for him to summon parties for trespass^. It was not meant to be a permanent building. Mr. Jo" said the defendant must conform to the bye-laws. He (tl1 magistrate) would leave it to Mr. Waring whether it case in which he would press for a penalty. Mr. Wari^ said it certainly was, as the defendent persisted in afier being warned by Mr. Chittenden. Mr. Jones: iS, yourself never warned him Mr. Warring: A house °(I{Tt sort may be run up in a month and I not be aw* wfts until it is completed. After some conversation, the^feftith adjourned until after the next meeting of the Board of to whom the case will be reported by Mr. Waring. b. A CAB FABE.— John Kendour Onilis waa snmnione^ John Keenan, for 3s. cab hire. Defendant had set t the bo^ at the Queen's for a cab, and after keeping it waitin" twentà minutes, he and a young iwan, named George Bird, got in rode to the Clarence, where they drank and treated the man, and detained the cab outside. They were not over minutes in the cab, but they detained the vehicle an hours'1, a quarter besides. Tho cabman wanted 3s., and defend4^ would only pay Is. 6d., and on the cabman remonstrating told him to go to —^— The magistrate made an order the amount and costs. DISORDERLY.—James Griffiths was charged with bav¡1 been drunk, and with having assaulted P.C. Murley. soner was lying down in the street drunk, and when rous*" up by the constable he became very violent and kicked b'0^ Fined 20s. and costs or fourteen days' imprisonment.-— mas Lambert, charged by P.C. Harris with having drunk and disorderly in the street, was fined 5s. and cos'* or seven days' fmprisonmant with hard labour —John was charged with having been drunk and assaulting P'C' Phil hps. The prisoner was very disorderly, and when constable interfered with him, he became very violent, severely assaulted the officer. He was sent to prison f»r 4 month s hard labour.—Sophia M'Dennot, an old offend^" charged with having been drunk and indecent, was prison for two months' hard labour. MALICIOUS INJURY.—Mary Ann Welch was brought on remand-on the charge af having thrown boiling ever Sarah Ann Watts. Mary Ann Davies deposed thats*?, was present at the time of the outrage. Prisoner was and quarrelled with witness as well as prosecutrix. dJ threatened to strike witness with a knife, and she after«ar^ caught the saucepan of boiling water off the fire, and thre,j tbe water over Watts, by which the latter was very scalded. Mr. J R. White, sargeon, assistant to Dr. stated that he had seen Mary Ann: Watts, and she was n° out of danger. The prisoner was committed for trial °n ? Charge of having unlawfully and maliciously wounded Sara Ann Watts. THEFT. Eliza Donovan was charged with having STO^ a half-sovereign from Alfred Gros, a French seaman. secutor was the worse for drink at the time of the allegi?" robbery, and as there was no conclusive evidence prisoner she was discharged. ° ASSAULT.—Mary Qninlan and kilen Sullivan was su°^ moned tor having assaulted Catherine (Sterrick.

.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. >' THURSDAY. e,' Tn the House of Lords some conversation took place sheeting the constitution of the Ritual Commission, Russell having inquired of the Earl of Shaftesbury t, reasons which had induced him to decline being placed the, Commission. The noble earl replied that he declined the ground that no one of extreme opinions ought to be0? Lhe commission, and with that view he objected to the of Oxford. The Bishop of Oxford denied being a man of e*i treme opinions, and -asserted that his charges controvert such an assumption Larl Derby contended that the mission was constituted so as to fairly represent the vie** 0' ,11 parties, and fen opinion was endorsed by the ArchbisH Canterbury The Earl of Lichfield called attention to unsound principles upon which many so-called ben^* societies were founded, and moved for returns relative to *5 nomber of these societies that had failed, and the paupers1' the workhouses ivho had been members of them. After softj conversation the motion was agreed to. Earl Russell attention to the Luxemburg treaty, and highly compliment* Lord Stanley on the moderation, rafcti and discretion '4*S played by him throughout the negotiations. Lord Hou £ ^j ton, the Earl of Clarendon, and Earl Granville expre«se; similar, opinions, and considered that the policy of the vernment had satisfactorily maintained the diplomatic p9s, tion of the country in the councils of Europe. After sonj remarks from the Earl of Derby and other noble lords, *"i subject dropped. The Duke of Argyll called attention cruelties practised by the Turkish troops in Candia, but tflè Earl of Derby declined to enfer into a discussion of question. In the House of Commons Mr. Darby Griffith called atten tion to the insufficient accommodation afforded to theO^1', hers ofthe House, and Mr. Bright said it would not within a hundred and fifty of those who were members or% and that the arrangements generally were a disgrace to country. He.boped the matter would not be lost sight of "v those who wer# desirous of increasing the present rtunaber members. After an explanation by Mr. Hardy as to he said on Tuesday respecting the language employed'^ certain persons at the Birmingham meetings, and which A* undoubtedly U>e primary cau>e of the riots, the yvent into committee on the Reform Biil, several clauses which were agreed to without a division. A long deh* however, ensued on clause 29, empowering electors to g'L their votes by voting papers: The clause was vigor0^? opposed by Mr. Bright, Mr. McCuilagh Toirens, Sir Paliuer, Mr. H. Berkeley, and others, and upon a division was defeated by a majority of thirty-eight. FRIDAY..2 In the House of Lords, Lord Stratford de RedclifFe in?* an appeal on behalf of the Abyssinian captives, to w'h'^ Lord Derby replied ambiguously. The Archbishop of^0^ expressed his dissatisfaction with the membership of t'1 rituil commission. Lord Giey's motion for the appo"K merit ofthe "utfragll1 bishops was rejected.. lu the Commons, Lor.l Stanley expressed his disbeli^' tlri alleged atrocities of Turkish troops in Caaadj. On Reform Bi!i, the clause nominating the Boundaries. missioners was postponed, Mr. Bright objecting to the'n*hi** p'.opos"d by the Government. The clause making it to corruptly pay a voter's rate- was opposed, but agreed,1 on a division. Lord Amberley moved to abolish the practi^j of requiring a member to Vacate his seat on taking a p'3^5 in the Government.

A quail's egg was found on a farm near Blandford a few days since. Birds of passage have been known to pass over that part of the country. A NEW AUSTRIAN LO.AN.-The Vienna Official Gazette of the 24th inst. denies the truth of the report that the Austrian Government is about to open a loan at Paris or elsewhere, adding that there is no necessity for such a measure. At Fairfield, Iowa, on the 23rd ult., a man named Joseph Matthews murdered his wife while she was pre. paring breakfast. He walked from the front room to the kitchen, and with two strokes of an axe on the head killed her instantly. The only witness was a son of about six years of age. The murderer is said to be insane. Mr. Benedict has kindly undertaken to conduct the musical arrangements of the Newspaper Press Fund dinner on Saturday next. Among the artistes who have in the most generous manner placed their services at the disposal of the committee are Mdlle. Enequiat, Mdlle, C'-zenza, Madame Weiss, Miss Poole, Mr. Cummings. Mr. George Perren, and Mr. Weiss. At Buffalo, N.Y., some time ago, a woman named Chapin, a cook on a canal boat, jumped overboard, with a view of drowning herself. She was rescued and taken to the station-house, but again tried to commit suicide by hanging herself with her apron. She was now handcuffed, but still managed to tear her dress into strips, which she made into rope, and again suspended herself from a bar in the grated floor. This time her hands were tied behind her, so that she could not kill herself by hanging, at least. The educational statistics of Indiana for the present year are encouraging. The School Fund will enable the free public schools to continue open about five months. Last year the schools lasted only three months. This, of course, does not refer to cities, where the schools are kept open the full year. The fund distri- buted this year Amounts to one million three hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Last year it was less thaa a million. Festus Campbell, rejected from the jury list in Pittafield because he was black, has been appointed by Governor Bullock as a justice of the peace. It would be interesting to have a case come up before him in which the select men of the town were parties, simply for the pur- pose of seeing how they would appear under the circum- stances.—Boston Coramomoeolth. The memorial stone of the new Congregational Institute at Nottingham has been laid by Mr. Sidebottom, of Manchester. The building is to be erected near the Forest, on the north side of the town, and the cost will be about 5,000. It is to accommodate from 80 to 100 stu- dents. An appropriate address was delivered by Mr. Sidebottom on laying the stone, and other speeches were delivered. The students are to be educated as ministers, evangelists, and town missionaries. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC DOGMA.—At a meeting of the Easter Church Association, the Very Rev. Arch- pri est Popoff, chaplain to the Russian Embassy in London, stated that he had been informed, on very high authority, that it is the intention of the Romae. Catholic authorities forthwith to promulgate another new dogma—namely, the personal infallibility of the Pope, and that it was further intended to enforce the adoption of the Romish liturgy everywhere. INMAN MEDICAL SEEVICB.—An examination of candidates for twelve appointments as assistant-surgeons in her Majesty's Indian medical service will be held at Chelsea. Hospital on the 12th of August. The obligatory subjects at this examination are anatomy and physiology, surgery, medicine, including therapeutics, the diseases of women and children, chemistry and pharmacy, and a practical knowledge of drugs. THE RITUAL COMMISSION AND CONVOCATION.— The Archbishop of Canterbury has informed the clergy of the diocese of Bath and Wells, in acknowledging a memo- rial sent to him, that the matters referred to the Ritualistic Commission will be submitted to Convocation before the Government undertakes any legislation in connection with them. His Grace says "I have the satisfaction of in- forming you that Convocation will be duly consulted upon matters submitted tothe Royal Commission before Parlia- ment shall make any enactment touching them." A curious incident is mentioned as having occurred in the appointment just announced of Colonel Wi! 'Ti Patten. More than a fortnight ago Lord Derby win'.r to him, offering the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster. Ten days elapsed, and he received no answer. The protracted silence seemed unaccountable. At i»iigth the Premier wrote to say he whould be glad to have an answer to his letter, which, upon inquiry, it was discovered had been addressed to Hill-street, where Colonel Patten was not then residing. His acceptance of office, as he had on more than one previous occasion declined offers of a similar kind, is looked upon as a new proof of cou- fidence in the Administration. INAUGURATION OF THE SALFORD COBDEN MEMO- RTAT..—The ceremony of unveiling the statue of the late Mr. Cobden, erected in Peel Park, Salford, has been per- formed by the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, M. P., in the pre. puce of a large concourse of spectators. The statue is in the vnmediate vicinity of those of the Queen and Prince Con- ort, and is of course one of the moat prominent objects of ■ttraction in the park. It is the result of public subscrip- i von, the project being set on foot immediately after Mr. Oobden's death by tto«s then Mayor of Salford, Mr. Wright Turner. "With the committee appointed to carry out the ncheme the wotking metx o{ the district united-, and tlie Jotal amoimt ralmed was about £ 1,450. It is of very large •proportions, chiselled out of a block of beautiful white Sicilian marble, and stands on a massive pedestal of %'ierdeen granite. The four faces of the pedestal bear tne following inscriptions:—" Kepeal of the Corn L»wa," "English and French Treaty of Commerce," "Education* ,»nd Free Trade;" P«ace and Non-intervention."
"THE ATLANTIC CABLES. .>I
THE ATLANTIC CABLES. > I Captain Sherard Osborn sends to the Times the tele fiprams received during the repair of the cable ofr 186dj .;ae of the contingencies, he says, which the proprietors "r the cable had to consider was the injury to be expected from the Polar drift ice. The accident which has just been remedied sets at rest the apprehensions which were entertained on that Bubject. During the spring of this year the Atlantic waa beset with large quantities of ice,dis- engaged from the Arctic regions during a singularly stormy winter. The cables were so well laid as to escape injury, *rith one slight exception. The injured place was pointed it by Mr. Latimer Clarke and Mr. Willoughby Smith with astonishi-n & exactness. The party on board theChiltern found the place without difficulty, executed the repairs in a few hours, and at a very trifling outlay. The cable of 1866 will be re-laid in deeper water in Trinity Bay, so as to be out of the way of any further mishaps. Mr. Willoughby Smith reports that the insulation of both the cables has improved immensely. They give doable the gutta percha resistance they did when tested last year. Captain Osbom mentions that during the repairs he received a telegram in Broad-street which left Heart's Content only thirty-fire minutes previously, the greater portion of the time being occupied by forwarding and delivery between Valentia, in Ireland, and London. The revenue of the two cables this yearpromises to reach £ 450,000. This will be three-fourths of the original cost of the last laid cable. These facts will encourage the public to hope for further reduction in the tariff for messages. This is still so high as to keep the cables four-fifths of the time unemployed.
THE BLOODLESS REVOLUTION.
THE BLOODLESS REVOLUTION. Mr. Bright, remarks the Timea, has presented himself to the Fishmongers' Company in a novel and interesting capacity. He appears as the "frozen-out gardener," Well-known to all Londoners. Hia occupation is gone, and he has no other. Yesterday he was not only a Re- former, but the chief of Reformers; now everybody is a Reformer, and he is in the rear of the column. The labourers of the eleventh hour have got not only aa much, but even more—nay, all; for Mr. Bright, after bearing the burden and heat of the day, finds himself sup- perless. Last year there was every appearance of a good fight, in which hard blows might be exchanged, manhood proved, and glory won. Mr. Bright, like an observant astronomer, had calculated the series of revo- lutions. That which shook the earth in 1793 was horrible enough, and better to read of than to take part in. In our own little affair in 1831 windows were broken, houses gutted, and shots fired. The Lords had to be bullied out of their obstinacy. By the Rule of Three it was rea- sonable to expect that there would be at least a good war of words, some acrimony, and a few characters more or less damaged in the next movement of the kind. That movement has actually come, and Mr. Bright himself calls it a revolution. But there has been no fighting, very little sparring, not even a scolding match. It has gone off as quietly as a May meeting, everybody admitted by ticket, and all on one side. The only rivalry has been which should give up the most and the quickest, with the civillest language and the brightest expression. The abandonment of the old Conservative position has been so complete that the foe, or what we used to call the foe began to suspect a mine or an ambuscade, and hesitated to embrace all its advantages. Measures which thirty years ago were thought simply anarchical, or worse, have been found to be good statesmanship. The entire treasury of Tory heirlooms and family idols is discovered to be a heap of worthless trumpery. The brilliants are paste, the rubies garnets, the gold pinchbeck, the pictures bad copies, the china Sinrious, and the furniture too bad even for the brokers. bjects for half a century most precious in the owners' eyes for their curious histories and their fabled worth are knocked down at a few shillings amid the smiles of a con- temptuous crowd. The affair is over now, and all the world is returning home as quietly as from church or from the opening of a Mechanics' Institute. The fighting men are sneaking out of sight, ashamed of their arms, and their swagger, and their big words, and all their wasted Tko youthful duellists who have been tricked into firing currant jelly into each other's faces cannot be more conscious of their ludicrous but haypily safe position.
