Am Gymry Llundain. DA genym ddeall fod Mr. W. Jones, A.S., wedi addaw cymeryd y gadair yn mudd-gyngherdd Mrs. R. Griffith, nos Fawrth nesaf, ac fod Mr. Lloyd-George yn bwriadu bod yno i'w gefnogi. BETH YW'R Acnes ?—Beth ydyw yr achos fod y Cymmrodorion mor ddistaw yn y blynydd- oedd hyn, ac yn enwedig felly yn ystod y tymhor sydd ar ddarfod ? Y mae'r darlithoedd a geir yn ei chyfarfodydd mor addysgiadol ac mor dda fel mai trueni yw eu bod mor ychydig o ran nifer. Ai gormod gofyn am ddwsin o gyfarfyddiadau bob tymhor rhag llaw? CYMDEITHASAU DIWAITH.-Y mae genym eisoes ddigon o fan gymdeithasau heb lawer o fywyd ynglyn a hwy heb eisieu ychwanegu y Cymmrodorion at y rhes. Dyna Gymdeithas yr Undebwyr Cymreig. Ychydig o waith a wna rhagor na chyfarfod yn awr ac eilwaith i ganmol eu gilydd. Eto, dacw'r Cymry Fyddion wedi troi i fod yn gymdeithas i ddiwallu'r anghenog yn unig, oherwydd un giniaw fawr yw holl ymdrech yr urdd. Nid yw Undeb y Cymdeith- asau ychwaith wedi bod mor fywiog ag arfer, nac hyd yn oed y Brythonwyr cystal ag y disgwylid. Mae'n rhaid cael diwygiad yn wir. Y LLYFRGELL.—Brwydr fawr y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol a'r Amgueddfa sydd yn mynd a sylw rhai o Gymry'r ddinas y dyddiau hyn, ac mae'n eglur fod cryn frwdfrydedd yn mysg gwyr Ceredigion a Meirion, heb son am siroedd eraill, am sicrhau yr adeilad cenedlaethol hwn yn Aberystwyth. Deallwn fod eisoes lawer iawn o addewidion wedi dod i law, ac y ceir cynorthwy tra chalonogol gan Gymry'r ddinas at gronfa Aberystwyth. CYFARFOD YN JEWIN.—Yn fuan ar ol cael anerchiad Mr. J. H. Davies, M.A., o flaen y Brythonwyr, penderfynwyd i gynhal cyfres o gyfarfodydd mewn rhanau eraill o'r ddinas, a nos Wener yr wythnos ddiweddaf caed y cyn- ulliad cyntaf yn neuadd Capel Jewin, a chwrdd rhagorol ydoedd hefyd. Cadeiriwyd gan Mr. Herbert Lewis, A.S., a siaradwyd gan Syr John Williams, Mr. J. H. Davies, ac eraill, a phen- derfynwyd yn unfarn i gefnogi cais tref y brif- ysgol gyntaf o flaen yr awdurdodau pan ddel y mater ym mlaen. CYNORTHWY.—Er na ddaeth ond rhyw ddeu- cant a hanner ynghyd, yr oedd amryw yn barod y nos honno i gefnogi eu pleidlais gydag addewidion arianol ar raddfa haelfrydig dros ben. Yn y cwrdd hwn caed yn agos i ddau cant o bunnau, ac os ceir gan bawb i gyfranu fel yna ni ddylid bod yn hir cyn codi Llyfrgell Aberystwyth-Llywodraeth a'i chynorthwy neu beidio. ———— CRONFA R. GRIFFITH."—Yn ychwanegol at y symiau a gydnabyddwyd genym yr wythnos ddiweddaf, y mae genym i ddiolch ein care- digion eto yr wythnos hon am y symiau can- lynol tuag at gronfa i gynorthwyo gweddw a phlant y diweddar Robert Griffith :-Mr. Samuel Smith, A.S., 20s y Parch. G. Hartwell Jones, 5s. PRIODAS.—Dydd Iau diweddaf priodwyd Miss Lydia M. Pierce, merch ieuengaf Mr. Thomas Pierce, un o flaenoriaid parchus eglwys y Tabernacl Cymreig, a Mr. Lacon E. Allin, yn Eglwys St. George, Hart Street, Bloomsbury. Gan fod rhieni y ferch ieuanc yn adnabyddus i gylch eang o Gymry'r ddinas, daeth torf luosog ynghyd i ddymuno yn dda i'r ddeuddyn hapu ar yr uniad. Ar ol rhoddi croesawiad i'r gwahoddedigion yn yr Abbotsford Hotel, aethant i Wlad yr Haf i dreulio eu mis mel. DATHLIAD A CHROESAWIAD. — Nos Iau diweddaf bu cwrdd arbenig yn ystafell y Tabernacl i ddathlu penblwydd gweinidogaeth Elfed yn y lie, ac i roddi croesaw cymdeithasol i'r organydd newydd, Mr. Richards. Ar yr un adeg manteisiwyd ar y cyfle i gyflwyno anrheg hardd i Miss Marion Mathias am ei gwasanaeth ffyddlo'n am ddwy flynedd yn chwareu yr organ yn y capel hyd nes y penodwyd Mr. Richards. CLAPHAM JUNCTION.—Oherwydd prinder gofod nis gallwn ond roddi crynhoad byr o'r cyngherdd blynycldol a gymerodd le mewn cysylltiad a'r eglwys yn y lie uchod nos Fercher diweddaf. Nid oes dim angen dweyd ddarfod i'r cantorion foddio pawb, a'u bod oil mewn hwyliau da. Prif atdyniad y cyngherdd oedd cystadleuaeth ar yr adroddiad "Arwerthiant y Caethwas," a chafwyd cystadleuaeth campus. Cadeirwydyn ddeheuig gan Mr. T. H. Holloway, Cedar's Road.—L. BARRETT'S GROVE. — Y mae'r brodyr a'r chwiorydd yn yr eglwys hon yn gweithio yn egniol iawn i gael gwared o'r ddyled.sydd ar yr addoldy. Nid gorchwyl hawdd yw casglu ^1,000, ar ol talu eisoes dros Z4,000, ond y maent yn bur obeithiol y cant glirio'r cyfan erbyn Mai, a dod i fyny ag amodau Mr. Williams, Allen Road-sydd yn cynnyg £300 ar yr amod fod y cyfan yn cael ei dalu. Y mae Cyfarfod y Jubilee "wedi ei drefnu i fod nos Iau, Mai lIeg. Nid yw'r trefniadau yn gyflawn eto, ond disgwylir cyfarfod lliosog a brwdfrydig o dan lywyddiaeth Mr. Josiah Thomas, Lerpwl, cadeirydd Undeb yr Annibynwyr Cymreig, pryd y bydd nifer o enwogion o bell ac agos yn annerch y cyfarfod. Ceir rhagor o fanylion etc. YN ystod y chwe' mis diweddaf y mae y Parch. Arberth Evans, gweinidog Capel Moor- fields, wedi talu ymweliad a'r Hen Wlad ddwy waith. Y tro cyntaf bu yn y De, pryd y clywodd Evan Roberts, y Diwygiwr. Newydd ddych- welyd y mae y tro hwn o'r Gogledd, lie y bu yng nghymde;thas Mrs. Jones, Egryn. Yn ystod ei arhosiad yn y Gogledd bu yn llygad- dyst o'r goleuni hwnnw sydd wedi syfrdanu y wlad y misoedd diweddaf. Dyddorol iawn oedd ei glywed nos Sul yn rhoddi braslun o'r hyn a welodd ac a glywodd. Y mae Mr. Evans yn llafurio yn galed ym mysg Bedyddwyr Dwyreinbarth Llundain. MOORFIELDS, LITTLE ALIE STREET.—Cyn haliwyd cyngherdd mewn cysylltiad a'r achos yn y lie nos Iau, Ebrill y 6ed. Cymerwyd rhan ynddo gan rai o brif gantorion Cymreig Llundain—Madame Jones Hudson, Miss Alice Maude Lewis, Mr. Ben Ivor, Mr. David Evans;

of almost every branch of the Civil Service, so that, notwithstanding the great decrease in the Navy expenditure, we shall only save about eighteen hundred thousand altogether. Such a Budget as this can hardly be a Dissolution Budget. The Catastrophe in India.—The details now coming to hand prove that the havoc caused by the earthquake in India last week is more awful than any of us imagined at first. It is impossible to say yet what- might be even an approximate computation of the number of lives lost, but it is believed by those who are in the best position to judge that the tale of mortality will probably amount to something like ten thousand. Alarge number of Europeans are among those killed, many of them women. A whole battalion of native troops perished in one town, and tales of deaths and entombments come in from village after village. Some of the reports are too heart- rending to contemplate. Such catastrophes make us tremble in the presence of the forces of Nature, and the impotence of man is brought home to every mind. If our knowledge and science could only foresee such occurrences and thereby give warning of their approach, the destruction of life might be lessened. But they come upon us apparently without any warning at all, and we are perfectly helpless to defend ourselves and our fellow men. All we can do is to bow down in humility and awe before the invisible omnipotence that works so mysteriously around us. And let us also remember that our quarter of the world, much as we blame its climate and atmospheric environments, has its compensations, after all. The Disaster in Madrid.Of very different character from the catastrophe in India was the disaster that occurred in Spain last Saturday. A new reservoir that was in course of construc- tion in Madrid fell into ruins, and, it is reported that 400 persons at least have been killed or injured. This seems, pending inquiry, to have been an avoidable disaster, caused by the in- sufficient strength of the pillars supporting the structure. Some of the workmen engaged in the work state that there were evident signs of weakness during the past fortnight, but that the engineers took no notice of them. These state- ments, along with the ghastly scenes at the place of the calamity, have created intense excitement among the working classes of the city. The latest news says that processions of women carrying black flags are marching through the district where the accident happened, and that a huge crowd has marched to the centre of the city and forced shopkeepers to close their estab- lishments as a sign of mourning. It is also stated that the authorities mean to forbid funeral processions to the victims, and that serious dis- turbances are to be feared. All this is very suggestive of the Spanish temperament. Why should the people desire processions, and why should the Government desire to stop them is a problem difficult for a Britisher to understand. But we hope that there will be a thorough inquiry into the cause of this terrible accident, and that whoever be responsible will receive the condemnation and punishment they deserve. Fleets Drawing Near.-As we write it is re- ported that the Russian Armada under Rodjest- vensky has passed Singapore into the China Sea, and also that a Japanese fleet was in the vicinity a I day before; but up to the present no news of an encounter has come to hand. According to some agencies the Russian admiral himself was not with the squadron that passed Singapore, and it is surmised that he had detached a few of his ships and had taken another direction in order to fall upon the enemy from the rear in case the larger fleet would be attacked in the Straits. On the face of things it seems as if the greatest naval battle of modern times is imminent, and there is intense excite- ment In all naval and shipping circles. It is a thousand pities that the Russians are bent upon going to destruction in this fashion. There is not the slightest prospect of victory for them, and even if they manage to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Togo, they can only escape to Vladivostock and be bottled up there, with no prospect of delivery either from sea or land. Such reckless disregard of the value of human lives is appalling. If there ever was a time when European and American diplomacy ought to take the bull by the horns-or rather the bear by the claws-that time is the present one. When rulers, such as the Czar, show such utter disregard of all the claims of humanity, then it is the sacred duty of more rational Powers to usurp his authority.
