CARDIFF, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1863. .n, vV"V'V" 'VV'J" v." THE FRIENDS of Poland have been found in almost every town in Great Britain, and amongst these Cardiff is not the least of those who have shewn themselves the most friendly. Several of our townsmen have contributed their mites and have helped forward not only by their sympathy but also by their practical assistance the cause of this nobly struggling people. It is thought ad- visable that this sympathy shall assume a more demonstrative shape, and arrangements are making for the holding of a public meeting where each and all may show how deeply interested they are in the endeavour of these people to release their country from the iron hand of this hard-hearted and cruel invader. PRINCE GOBTSCHAKOEF, in reply to the diplomatic note of EARL RUSSELL, has ascribed the continuance of the result, not so much to the bravery of the Poles, but rather to the wide-spread encouragement which they derive from the opinions of civilized Europe. This testimony to the im- mortal and invincible power of public opinion, wrung unwillingly from the heart, the mind, and the pen of a despot ought to ring through the world as a clarion song of liberty and should nerve the weakest to assert with a voice as loud that it cannot be hushed, the nationality of Poland should be restored, and that this oppressed country shall once more have her king. The ripe fruit of deliverance has until the present insurrection been ruthlessly and speedily torn from the lip of the Poles. The present struggle seems to give more than the promise that the cursed chain of slavery shall no longer manacle their bodies and their minds, and that the partitions of diplomatic congresses shall be numbered with the things of the past. The inexorable pen of history will accord this admission of PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF, and we shall be rejoiced to see our own town helping to confirm this opinion of the PrinCe. Let a public meeting be called, and resolu- tions passed which shall un-mistakeably declare the sentiments of the people, and it will be shewn to the despot of Russia that he has no power to check the free speech of a free people. This is a glorious opportunity for settling the question of Polish nationality, a question which is continually cropping up, stronger and stronger with each new growth. Great Britain has decided that as far as free speech, and substantial monetary assistance can help it, their freedom shall be decided with the present struggle. To that consummation so devoutly to be wished, we hope Cardiff will contri- bute a helping hand and a united voice. PONTYPRIDD BOARD OF GUARDIANS. AT THE meeting of the Board on Wednesday last, the apple of discord which for some time has been disturbing the harmony of the members was with drawn. I he visit of the inspector from the Poor Law Board has definitely decided the vexed ques- tion of the devision of the union into sub-districts for the purposes of registration. It is somewhat to be regretted that so long a period of time which ha, elapsed since the question was first introduced has been wasted, worse than wasted, because it has been the means of marring to some extent that cordial unanimity of feeling which previously existed among the different members of the Board. Perhaps few men possess the qualities for pre- serving that cordiality in so marked a degree as the chairman. He it is who by a judicious remark V. U • IoU; softens the asperity which will sometimes break out in the warmth of discussion, and might if not properly checked lead to somewhat unpleasant results. It is somewhat singular, and demon- strates forcibly the amount of care given by the members of the Board in the investigation of the various matters brought before them that the opinion of the Inspector as regards the division of the union coincided with that of the committee appointed for that purpose by the Board. The Poor Law Board in taking the question entirely out of the hands of the Guardians, has done what under the circumstances was best, though no doubt un- pleasant to the gentlemen who had spent some time in discussing the merits of the various divisions. Now that the question is decided, and only awaits the approval of the Poor Law Board, the members themselves must feel a pleasure that the respousibity of the division is removed from them, and the kind gentlemanly manner in which Mr. Graves asked the Guardians for advice and assistance, entirely removed any little unpleasantness which the authority of the Poor Law Board might have created. FOR many years past it has been the custom in the Metropolis, and in most of our large towns, for em- ployers to free their dependents for a portion of one of the working days in each week from their labour and toil. Solicitors have been erer foremost in this good cause, and we know not any body of men more entitled to an indulgence of this sort from their masters than Solicitors' Clerks—when we consider the excessive amount of mental and physical labour which must be expended by them on their daily occupation. In every Solicitor's office there is, of course, the master head, which sketches out, like the skilful General, the plan of attack and defence—sets the troops in motion, and supervises their efforts in the wide field of the law. The clients see this master head, and he alone is responsible for the work en- trusted to him, but the details attendant on every action and suit, or even conveyance of land and pro- perty from seller to buyer, must, in a great mea- sure, devolve upon, and be worked out by, the clerks. In the press of business it is not by any means an uncommon circumstance for Solicitors' Clerks, after a hard day's work, to be employed the greater part of the night either in preparation of documents or in copying them, after they have been under the master's eye, and who shall say some relaxation is not necessary to persons whose labours are so arduous ? It should be borne in mind to that— —— Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes Emolllt mores nec sinit esse feros. feros;" and this body of men taken as a whole are as anxious to seek the improvements of their minds by acquiring a knowledge of the arts and sciences, as their masters are. The above remarks are called forth by informa- tion we have received that a Memorial by the Solici- tors' Clerks of this town, petitioning for a half holi- day on the Wednesday in each week, has lately been presented to their masters, who have, with one ex- ception, we helieve, acceded to their request. We congratulate the clerks on obtaining such a boon, and we, at the same time, take leave to assure the masters that they will in the end be gainers by the concession, for those masters who shew them- selves ready to fall in with the views and meet the wishes of their clerks, cannot fail to find love, re- spect, and obedience, where merely cold and formal acquiescence was before. Again, it is obvious that a clerk who has a proper amount of relaxation allowed him, is much more fitted in mind and body to enter upon his daily work, and is physically capable of getting through much more work, than one who is kept continually at the desk day after day. We, therefore, venture to as- sert that the benefit to be derived from this arrange- ment will be mutual. We understand that the offices are to be closed at one o'clock on every Wednesday, commencing on Wednesday next.
SUMMARY.
SUMMARY. The Polish question now absorbs public attention. We have the replies to the identical notes of Eng- land, France and Austria, and the state of the ques- tion is now as plain as possible before the public. Russia takes every advantage of the palpable want of unity exhibited by the three Powers, and gives each Power its peculiar answer. To France, the Czar is friendly in the extreme; to Austria, patron- ising to England, argumentative. Russia has no fear of Austria, therefore the Emperor, while accept- ing the gentle remonstrances of the government of the Emperor Francis Joseph, indulges in a few rather stringent remarks upon the effects of revolu- tionary movements. The only anxiety the Czar has regarding France is to keep that power free from any entangling alliance with England; therefore his reply is conciliatory—so conciliatory that the JWonUeur says:—" It is easy to be convinced upon reading these documents that they open a path to projects of conciliation, and that they contain the basis of negociations likely to lead to a common un- derstanding between the different Courts now seek- ing the means of upholding the legitimate interests of Poland." The reply given to the remonstrances of England is published in Wednesday's Times, it is long and intricate, too long for us to entertain at this moment. It is a clever document, however, displaying all the well known diplomatic powers of the Russian Ministers. Taking the replies of Russia together, ar.d considering the bearing of one upon another, we can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Czar is fully resolved upon pursuing his own course, unmoved by the joint representations of three Powers acting upon different motives. Notwithstanding the favourable view taken by the Moniteur of the Russian replies it is said that fears of a European war are gaining ground in Paris. It is asserted that the Prussian authorities have ordered some of the authorities in Posen to give quarters to Russian soldiers, and to regard them as Prussians, in virtue of the convention between Russia and Prussia. The insurgent Chief, Jaczanowki gained a great victory on the 30th ult. over the Russian troops, and in an engagement which took place on Thursday last opposite Benthen, on the Oder, the Russians were defeated with the loss of all their artillery. A telegram from Vera Cruz, dated April 5th, corrects certain reports which reached us from New York. Puebla at the above date, it states, was closely surrounded by General Berthier, and General Ortega, who commanded in the city, had offered to capitulate on favourable conditions. This offer General Forey refused, and demanded its uncondi- tional surrender. The French General had also dispersed the reinforcements which General Con- comfort was leading to Puebla. The news from America is conflicting. It is very strange that the Confederates should be thwarted, if not absolutely defeated, at all points so suddenly, after so much success. We are told that Vicks- burgh will be again attacked, and by and bye we shall hear too that Charleston is to be taken. We must await the arrival of another mail or two before forming our conclusions. Mr. Gladstone has been compelled to withdraw his proposition to inflict the Income-tax on Chari- table Institutions. On Tuesday last the right hon. gentleman received a deputation, numerous and influential, beyond all precedent, headed by the Duke of Cambridge and the Archbishop of Can- terbury. It is stated that Mr. Gladstone was curt and almost ill-tempered with the deputation how- ever this may have been, nothing more than an exhibition of grim playfulness, for it was evident enough when he rose in his place in the House of Commons to introduce the clause containing the obnoxious proposal that the representations of the deputation had taken effect Instead of pressing the matter in the usual way and putting up the Premier to talk about a dissolution of Parliament, the right hon. gentleman observed that the goveun- ment did not wish to press the measure on an adverse house, rather they desired to defer to its opinion but in doing so they reserved to them- selves the power of considering in what way the subject ought hereafter to be dealt with, in case the House should not now be disposed to except it, but they did press it on the House as a measure t) at was agreeable to every principle of sound ad- ministration which had uniformly governed the pro- ceedings of Parliament for more than twenty years past. 0" v "I,

SAINT ANDREW'S CHURCH.—We are glad to learn that this Church is progressing most satisfactorily—that a large number of sittings have been taken, and the con- gregation weekly increases. Among the many kind donations to it, Mrs. John Morris has presented a hand. some Utrecht velvet cushion for the pulpit, with crimson anil gold bullion fringe and tassels, and has, with her friends, provided an appropriate Brussels carpet for the chancel. Miss Gawn and her friends furnished a hand- some alter cloth, also of Utrecht velvet, beautifully-raised with monogram in gold. We also have been informed that Miss Scale has presented two very handsomely carved chairs for the use of the chancel. Mr. Gawn has most kindly taken charge of the choir, which consists of about twenty youths belonging to the most respectable families in Cardiff, and provided them with music, books, cushions, and hassocks and is most indefatigable in his labours to instruct his young charge. Altogether we may congra- tulate the well-wishers of the Church upon the success which has attended their labours in connection with St. Andrew's, and wish them God speed. A paragraph has appeared in one or more London papers, that Sir Ivor Guest, Bart., was engaged to be married to Lady Violet Graham, 2nd daughter of the Duke of Montrose. The ilornimj Herald of 6th inst., has been authorized to contradict this unfounded rumour. Sir Ivor is at present on a tour among the Ionian Islands. We have much pleasure in noticing that Mr. J. D. Spickett, of Magor, son of the late Mr. Spickett, of Sully, passed a very successful examination at Oxford on Satur- day last. Mr. Spickett graduated at Pembroke College, r of which the Rev. Evan Evans fson of our late old and esteemed townsman, Mr. David Evans) is Dean. THE MILITIA will be dismissed on Thursday next, the 14th inst., their period of training, of 21 days, expiring on that day. The inspection takes place to-day (Friday). ODDFELLOWSHIP.—On Monday last, a special meeting of the Cardiff District of Oddfellows was held at the Viscount Cardiff Lodge, Marchioness of Bute Inn,— Mr. T. Jones (G. M.) in the chair; Mr. R. Day (D.G. VI.) in the vice-chair. The meeting was convened for the pur- pose of taking into consideration the propriety ef electing a delegate to attend the next Annual Moveable Com- mittee, to be held at Leamington the latter end of this month; and after a short discussion Mr. S. Hewitt (C.S.) was chosen to represent the district on that occasion. HOPE CHAPEL CANTON.—A few friends of the above chapel purpose holding a Bazaar in the Assembly Room of the Town- hall, 011 Tuesday and Wednesday next. As is usual 011 such occasions, the ladies have come forward with a quantity of useful and ornamental articles, and we cannot but hope that some considerable fund will be raised, which will be appriated towards the liquidation of the debt. CARDIFF WATCH COMMITTEE.—The usual monthly meet- ing of this committee was held on Wednesday, the Mayor in the chair. The Superintendent reported thft he had received 2s. 6d. from Mr. Twigg, of the Hastings Hotel, for vigilance on the part of P.C. Biss, for discovering, a few days since, that his back door was left open. The money was ordered to be paid to the constable. The application of Inspector Rollins for an increase of salary was not eutertained. The meeting then adjourned. CAUTION TO COUNTRY TRADESMEN.—For some short time a number of swindlers bave located themselv s in Cardiff and have sent to various tradesmen in the country for goods, under the name of William Bowden and Co. The eagerness with which tradesmen endeavour to secure new customers has led to much loss on their part, for of course no such a firm exists in Cardiff, and the tradesman finds on inquiries that he has been done. Y R EISTEDDFOD.—We mentioned last week that a concert was about to be held at the Music-hall of this town, at which the services of Mddle Parepa, Mrs. Lockey, and some other artists, had been secured. The arrangements were at that time hardly enough developed to admit of publication. We may, however, state now that the concert will be given on the 27th inst., aud that its object is to raise a certain sum of money towards a vocal scholarship in connection with the National Eisteddfod, to be held at Swansea, for the year 1863. The reason for holding the concert in the Music-hall is to secure a place where all parties can attend, and though it is intended that the concert shall possess immense attrac- tion, the prices will be such as to bring it within the reach of the people. Miss Watts, of Cardiff, is one of the candi- didates for the vocal scholarship. HousE OF LORDS, MAY 4.—The Royal assent was given to the following bills Post Office Savings' Bank Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway Swansea Municipal Corporation. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— Petitions were presented against the proposed application of the Income Tax to Charities, by the ministers and Baptist congregations of Alnon Chapel, Merthyr Tydfil; by Mr. Bruce from Dissenting congregations at Merthyr and Aberdare; by Mr. Dillwyn from Ebenezer Chapel, Swansea; and by Colonel Gilpin, from the incumbent, churchwardens, and parishioners of Pentrebacb, Glamor- ganshire. For the repeal or reduction of the duty on Fire Insurances by Mr. Bruce, from inhabitants of Mer- thyr and Aberdare; by Mr. H. G. Langton, from the in- habitants of Bri tol. Against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays—by Mr. Bruce, from Baptists of Llwyd- coed, Abcrdare by Mr. Dillwyn, from Swansea. Against the extension of the income-tax to endowed charities, by Mr. Bruce, from Baptist congregation of Calvary, Aberdare. For prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors On Sunday, by Colonel C. Stuart, from the Calvanistic Methodists' congregation, Cardiff; congregation of Wesleyan Chapel, Cardiff; and the Bethania, Bute Docks Temperance Society and Band of Hope, Cardiff. Petitions were also presented, by Mr. Dillwyn, from miners in Cwmsebon district iu Cardigan- shire, praying for an alteration in the law respecting romer's wages. TnE COAL TRADE continues moderately buoyant, and the shipments last month have been considerable. The Dare Valley colliery proprietors will shortly ship largely at this port. lliere is no change to report in quotations. The iron trade remains without material alteration. A large iron work is about to be erected on the site of the old Whitchurch coke works, and it is expected that some hundreds of hands will be employed. The Melingriffith tin works have just been started after a stoppage of about two years, and employment will thus be afforded to a number of men. '1 here are not many orders at present on the books of the ironmasters, but upon the whole things are in a fairly satisfactory state. The inquiries fiom the Continent have not as yet come up to expectation, but as the season advances it is expected that an improvement will be experienced. NEWPORT DOCK COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, J. Homtray, Esq, in the chair. The meeting was rather of a stormy nature. The report of the directors showed a balance of £3,167 6s. Ilå d. there was an increase in the receipts of dB203 8d. lOd. as com- pared with the corresponding half-year. The banking account had been removed to Messrs. Bailey and Co., aud Crawshay Bailey, Esq., M.P., was elected treasurer in the place of John Bates, Esq., of the West of England Bank. The retiring directors were re-elected, and Thomas Gratrex, Esq., was elected to the vacancy caused by the lamented decease of Thomas Powell, Esq.
WHITCHURCH.
WHITCHURCH. The nightingale is to be heard every night in the Green- meadow Wood; its warbling notes attiact many persons to the spot. A robbery was effected at Llandaff Railway Station on Sunday night last, and the sum of upwards of £4 was stolen fiom the cleiks cash box. The thief effected 11 is entrance through the door, by wresting the iron bar and forcing it out of the s. cket. Thos. Win. Booker, Esq., and Mr. Barry Wride, are the ap- pointed Churchwardens of Whitchurch tor the present year; and, it is expected, that und r tne auspices of these gentle- men, several improvements will be effected in the Church which are much needed.
TONGWYNLAS.
TONGWYNLAS. A gentleman proceeding along the road leading from this prett.\ village through the Forest'' to Caerphilly, on the 5th of May instant, ricked up a bird apparently newly killed by a cat or some vermin, Un examination it turned out to he a young woodcock, not fully Hedged. The old birds bad been seen in the Forest" the latter end of March, and were observ, d to 110\ er about the place where the young one wa< discovered as late as the last week in Apr 1. '1 he young bird is now undergoing the process of stuffing, under the skiltul hands ot Mr. Williams, of the New Inn, Curd iff, where, animated with artificial lite, it will, in a few days, be exhi- bited as a vara avis in his terris sed non nigro similima cygno
CADOXTON.
CADOXTON. A vestry meeting was held on Monday last, at the vestry room, Cadoxton Church, for the purpose of auditing and passing the half year's accounts, and making a rate for the ensuing ye<1r to defray the expenses, &c., of the parish church. The Rev. D. H. Griffith, vicar, chaiiman, there were also present Bowel Gwyn, Esq., J. T. D. Llewellyn, Esq., R. H. Miers, Esq., and Mr. Henry Vigors, the Churchwardens, Lewis Griffith, Esq., Eo Moore, Esq., W. W. Williams, Esq., Messrs. D. W. Vigors, R. Jones, Richard Rees, William Boweu, Llewellyn James, &c. The accounts having been rend, it appeared that there was a balance due to the churchwardens from the parish of £30 Os, 6Jd. Mr H. Gwyn thought that a rate of two pence in the pound had better be made at once, which would bring them out of debt. — The vicar thought three halfpence better.—Mr. Lewis Griffith thought a three halfpenny rate would keep the parish JII better lJUlIwur.-Mr. Gwyn had no wish to press tor a twopenny rate it they could see their way clear with a three halfpenny rate. It was ultimately proposed by Mr. Lewis Griffith, and seconded by Mr. 11. H. Miers, that a churchrate of one penny in the pound be made and levied for the ensuing year, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Howel Gwyn was of opinion that since the stoves had been erected in the church by voluntary subscriptions, the church ought to he insured from fire in £1000 or £2000. All present concurring with Mr. Gwyn, that gentleman suggested that Mr. D. W. Vigors be requested to write to the different offices tor their terms and to agree with the cheapest and most respectable office, and to communicate with the churchwardens and the vicar and complete the insurance for £1000. A vote of thanks to the vicar was proposed by Howel Gwyn, tEsq., and carried unanimously, the meeting then ended.
CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. The following Address, signed by the Dean, the two Archdeacons, and almost every Clergyman in the Diocese, has been presented to the Bishop of Llandaff, and we have much pleasure in inserting it in our columns, together with his Lordship's reply :— "TO THE LORD BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. "MY LORD,—We, the undersigned, the Dean, the Archdeacons, and the Clergy of the Diocese of Llandaff, desire to express to your Lordship our feel- ings of gratitude for the efforts which you have made, as Ö well through the press as in your place in the Upper House of Convocation, to vindicate the Divine authority of the early Historical Books of the Old Testament, and to reply to the captious objections which have been recently urged against their charac- ter and claims. Such cavils have, indeed, been of frequent occur- rence in every age and they have been as frequently answered and exposed: but what in the present in- stance excites alike our grief and our surprise, is that they proceed from one of the overseers of our Church, who is bound by his very office to drive away all erroneous and strange doctrine and who must himself have made the solemn declaration which he is obliged, at ordination, to require from others, of unfeigned belief in all the Canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testament." Conduct, indeed, so inconsistent as an assault upon the foundations of the Faith, through the profession of which he has attained to his present position, must go far to neutralise the influence which otherwise, from that position, his teaching might derive but we are not the less obliged to your Lordship for the promptness and the ability with which you have instructed us how to meet this unlooked-for attack upon the very Scriptures to which our Lord himself appealed, and which must ever form the groundwork of all religious teaching. We remain, with much respect, Your Lordship's faithful and obedient servants, THOS. WILLIAMS, Dean of Llandaff WM. CRAWLEY, Archdeacon of Monmouth; H. L. BLOSSE, Archdeacon of Llandaff." &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. Bishop's Court, Llandaff, May 5, 1863. MY DEAR DEAN,—I beg you to accept, and to con- vey to the Archdeacons and Clergy of the Diocese, my hearty thanks for the very gratifying and obliging address which you and they have been so good as to present to me. That we should be thoroughly joined together in one heart and mind, and strive together in defence and furtherance of the truth, has ever been my most earnest desire. In the expressions of your sentiments I recognise a proof that such is the case in the Important matter to which your address refers. "You will, I am sure, do me the justice to believe that the particular form in which I gave utterance to my own opinion upon the unhappy and mischievous publications of the Bishop of Natal, was not suggested by the apprehension that any member of our body Was likely to be led astray by the sceptical objections and difficulties which he had reproduced, "The distinct repudiation on your part of any sympathy with those objections is however highly valuable, not only as calculated to establish your people in the conviction of the authority of Holy Scripture, but also as adding one more to the many testimonies by which the Clergv have vindicated them- selves from the suspicion of disbelief of the historical character of the Pentateuch, which the Bishop him- self openly avows, aud which he insinuates that many of them entertain, but have not the boldness and honesty to confess. He tells his readers that if his conclusions were only speculations-if they were only matters of higher or lower probability, he himself feels that he would have no light to express them at all through the press, and thus, it might be, disturb painfully the faith of many (Part I, p. xx). He, moreover, has announced that he considers it his duty at such a time as this to speak out plainly what we know, though in so doing we may be perhaps in danger of disobeying the written law of the Church. (Part 11, p. xxv). My own conviction is, that the Bishop's conclusions—the things which he thinks he knows respecting the Pentateuch—are nothing more than speculations, and that he has no more right to promulgate them from the pulpit than through the press. To guard, therefore, against the possibility ot the faith of our people being so painfully disturbed as they must be should a Bishop in their hearing indulge in such rash and sceptical speculations, contrary, as I believe, not only to the written law of the Church, but also to the express declarations of our Lord and his Apostles, it is my painful duty to inhibit the Bishop of Natal from officiating in my Diocese; and, though I have too great confidence in my Clergy to think it necessary for me on their account to do so I avail myself of this opportunity of making it known that such is my intention. I::) I remain, my dear Dean, Yours very truly, "A. LLANDAFF." THE LATE VICAR OF ABERGAVENNY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIiN. SIR,—About 40 or 50 years ago the late Vicar having married a soldier in his Church, received a reproof from the Duke of York, then commander-in-Chief, for perform- ing this ceremony without permission from the Horse Guards. Unfortunately for the Duke, one of his titles was "Bisnop OF OSNABURGH." The sturdy Vicar wrote in reply that with all due respect for his Royal Highness, he begged to remind him that Abergavenny was not in the Diocese of Osnaburgh Your obedient servant, SENEX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—Allow me, through your columns, to call the atten ion of my brother electors to the circumstance, that of our- five unfortunate members,not oneofthemaided or supported by his vote the glorious majority of 285, who immortalized themselves by standing up for the cause of religion, and the upholding of the ,c House of God," on the 29th ult., and whose decision was received on that evening by the Commons of England with such tremendous cheering. I trust that their conduct will be vividly borne in mind at the next general election. Your obedient Servant, A COUNTY AND BOROUGH ELECTOR FOR GLAMORGAN -HIRE. May 4th 1863. » SrATE ENDOWMENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—I observe in your contempary the Cambrian, of Saturday last that a correspondent, "{j widelyn Mor- ganwg," directs the attention of the public to the amount of money granted by the State to the humanists and would remind G. Morganwg' (whom I am sorry to ob serve has recently made several veiy vigorous attacks upon the Church of England in your contemporaries the Mo munthxhire I¡PI!t1/ and the Gtvlmiyaru r), that he has for- gotten to mention the amount of money granted by the State to Dissenters. With your permission, Sir, I will supply the i formation. From a return granted by Par- liament, on the motion of vir. Williams for a period of fifteen years (from 1830 to 1844 inclusive), we find that the Presbyterian Church of Scotland received out of the public funds the sum of Jt.349 90S I8s. 9d. Protestant Dissenters in 1 ngland, £ -'7 511 12s. 3d.; Protestant] Dissenters in Ireland. £ 424,261 Is 9d. Dissenters in Ireland..E424.261 Is 9d. I am, Sir, yours very truly. VAUE MECUM. Maesygelynen Villa. May 4th, 1863. ♦ — THE LATE ARCHDEACON OF BANGOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—I have just received a communication from the Rev. Morris Williams, Llanrhyddlad, Anglesea, announ- cing the demise of the above eminent gentleman. The Venerable Archdeacon Jones was the son of the late Rev. John Jones, of Cadoxton-jnxta-Barry, near Curditf. At an early age he was sent to Cowbridge School; from thence he went to Jesus College, Oxford. After spending the usual time, he was ordained by the Bishop of Bangor, and was appointed to the curacy of Holyhead, Anglesea. In a short time he was promoted to the living ofLlan- fachreth, in the same county and was also appointed Welsh chaplain to Bishop Bethel of Bangor; who also presented him with the living of Llantrisant, Anglesea, and appointed him Archdeacon of Bangor. He was an ex- cellent classical scholai, as well as a Welsh scholar. In the University he was called" The classical Jones." Twenty years ago he was appointed, with several otl.er learned clergymen, to revise the orthography of the Welsh Prayer Book, and correct some errors which had crept into the orthography o- the Welsh Bible. He was one of the founders and chief contributor to the Cymro," a Welsh newspaper. His learned letters appeared weekly, under the signature of Cattwgan," "Sylwedydd," and "Hadmer." His letters were highly interestins, parti- cularly his notes on Iolo's MSS. Owing to his state of health, he was not able to visit his native village for many years' His love for Dear Old Cadoxton" remained as strong as ever. In a letter I received from him some time ago he euter- tained strong hopes of being able to see OLce more his native parish, but he was cut down by the icy hand of death before he was able to do so. His writings bear no comparison with bis eminent qualities as a Christian minister and a friend. He was highly respected and beloved by all classes. Yours, &c., Dinas Powis. JOHN ROWLANDS.

Police Constable Jones said he was on duty in Bute-street, about half-past seven o'clock on Monday evening. He heatd cries of murder iu Whitmore-lane. He turned towards the lane, anù soon after met the vrisouer Yarwood coming in the direction of Bute-street. Prisouersaid "are you coming for me," and immediately struck witness in the face. Witness afterwards got him down on the ground, when the prisoner seized him by the thigh and also kicked him in the eye, and behaved in so violent a manner that he could not remove him till assistance arrived. The prisoner Price also struck him and assisted Yarwood. P. C. Humphreys said he went to the assistance of Jones, when the prisoner was on the ground he was kicking and behaving in a violent manner prisoner kicked him (witness) in a very violent manner in the groin, and struck him several times. He did not see the prisuner Price. P. C. Taylor said he was on duty in Bute-street, and hearing that there was a row in Whitmore-lane he went there and found the two policemen trying to convey the prisoner Yarwood to the police station. There was a great crowd of people about them, and he had some difficulty in making his way to the as- sistance of his brother policemen. Yarwood was on the ground kicking with his feet witness stooped down and attempted to get him up, when he kicked at witness a very violent "blow, in- tending it lor his face. The prisoner, however, kicked his hat off, and he did not see it any more till it was brought to the police station some time after. There was a great number of the militia there. He did not notice the other prisoner Price, but be might have been there as there were plenty assisting Yarwood. Richard Rees said he was passing through Whitmore-lane, about half-past seven o'clock on Monday evening. He saw a crowd of people on the bridge by the Custom House, and a large number of militia men. Yarwood was on the ground, and the three policemen were trying to convey him to the police station. He heard several of the militia men shouting Let s take him away." He went in the crowd and saw the prisoner Yarwood kicking at the policemen who were trying to get him up, P.C. Jones was re-called He said he was positive that the prisoner Price was one of those who struck him. The were about 20 militia men standing round. The Mayor said the beivli were determined to inflict a severe punishment on Yarwood, for the very brutal assault, not on one policeman, but on three-and he hoped the punishment they were about to pass on him would have a salutary effect iu deterring others from committing such offences. The assault on P.C. Jones was a very violeut one, and might have been at- tended with serious results. He would be fined £3 and costs for the assault on Jones £2 and costs for each of the other assaults, or iii default one months imprisonment for each assault.

TIle Rig-ht Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury presided. The rep irt stated that the number of copies of the Scriptures i-sued during the past year Was: From till; dep .t at home, 1,518,.1-69; and from depots abroad, 615,391—making a total of 2,133,800. The total issues of the society from its COUllnellcemelJt to the preseut time amounted to 43,044,334 copies. The income of the society was less than in the proceeding year. The rec. ipts for the year ending March 31, 1863, amounted to £84,263; aud the amount received for Bibles and Testaments had been £73,727 making the total receipts from the ordinary sources of income £ 157,990, being £ 9 693 17s. 4d less than in the year ending March, 1862. In addition to the above, the sum of £ 703 had been received for a New Testament fund for China, and £ 57 for the special fund for India. the total expenuiture of the year amounted to £ 15u,539, being £5,539 more than in the preceed- ing year. The noble Chairman, in his opening address, made the fol- lowing allusion to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposed tax on the funds of charitable institutions We have every reason to rejoice and to thank God that the projected impost upon those funds of ours which have been contributed for the purposes of the circulation of Gad's word has, by the wisdom and justice of the House of Commons, been altogether re- jected. I must express my surprise that those who for so many years have been talking vigorously about the iniquity of imposing "taxes upon knowledge" should come forwa d and impose what might be a prohibitory tax upon the circulation of the most profound and necessary knowledge over the whole face of the habitable globe. But, God be praised, it is at an end, and I trust it has gone to the tomb of all the Capulets, never to be heard of again (loud cheers.)
