Bill Banter's Budget Oh vhat -has become of the fro:;t? The prospects of late were delicious; Each pond with the "glassy" was crost- Could aught be more brightly auspicious ? But what has become of the fro.-t? We were talking of late about gloating. Alas! tow cur chances are lost, With the thaw they are quickly abating. But what has become of the frost? What led the blamed thing to decamp, sirs? It is not eternally lost. 'TWILL BE FOUND IN THE LIBERAL CAMP, SIRS! IjlRJS. Just so. No Liberal nomination was ever a irore hearty frost than the present cue in the Park Ward. Frozen Trades Unionism comes to the "Express" for warmth, and the "Express," which has ever been in the fore- front of .he battle for the principle of tlOOest trades combination, has once again the infinite pleasure of upholding the cause. The ruddy glow of moral and political health shines in the Progressive cheek; whilst the Liberal no.-e is blue. and the Liberal body trembles at the knowledge that its sins ove found the party out. Our old friend Courtis carries everything before him, and he deserves to. Whilst the Progressive and Trades Union cause sweeps on to victory, Liberalism in the .mde. shorn of its tinsel, casts about for gome little covering for its bald head. The Vigilance Society surely ought to take some notice of the dis- gracefully improper condition in which Cardiff Liberalism appears before the public at this moment. Talk of the "Artist's Model" poster! Liberalism k not covered even by a palette t'hig cold we.ither. The frost has eaten into the marrcv.- of the ir.sin?ere party and its lenders seeking after political self-aggrandise- ment. Liberals recogni.-e that a crisis in their his- tory hm been brought about by the nomina- tion of Mr. Henry Jones. There never was a better moment for them to steer the straight ocurset Will thev do it? Alas. I am afraid not, for tiiose who earned the candidate's nomination must have been previously aware of hi" political in regard tx. us as Trades Unionists. They hope-it to hide it, but the folly of the hone must have been appawnt on a. moment's thought. The Progressive party makes no boast. It has striven all along for the protection of work- ing men, and has succeeded in its aim. It has nominated, in Mr. Courtis, a candidate whose generosity as an employer has never been called in question, and whose name can never be re- prcs c'hed. The party has been long assured of the earnest support, it would receive from Mr. Courtis in Its beneficent work upon the council. Mr. Courtis is a. pronounced advo- cate of the rights and the demands of work- ing men, and thus we hail him with acclamation. But the Liberal party has bean talking instead of working. They have induced Labour representatives to come out under Liberal auspices, and bound them in this manner as pledged allies of the party. But, when in the council, these same Lalxiur workers have found their backers in the combined young Tory party, and their opponents universally t-ailing under the Liberal Bag. The situation is a very serious one for the Park Ward Liberal Association. They announce Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P., Alderman David Jones, Alderman Richard Cory, Mr. Lewis Williams, and Dr. Buist to address the public meeting in support of I Henry Jones and the Federated antagonists to the Seamen's Union. The handbills announcing the meeting were printed and dis- tributed before the disclosures in yesterday's pink Express." It remains new to be seen whether these men will in earnest suport the Liberal candidate. I am pretty certain that they will, for they are pledged to Liberalism before Trades Ufiifjnism. But they cannot git rcund the facts published from the mouths of the secretary and officials of the Seamen's and Firemen's Union. The interview with Mr. Carey was of a startling nature. Mr. Carey hxs facts and figures which prove beyond dis- pute that Mr. Henry Jones pays the lowest wage rate in Cardiff; that he refuses to reccgnise the claims of his employes to unite for the maintenance of tho wag-3 rate, that he employs foreign labcur deliberately when British seamen dare to at-tert their right to demand a. living wage. Will the Liberal party uphold the principle that Britishers shall work a.t the price of a Lascar or not at all? Will :t aid in the polioy I of employing foreign labour to force British workmen t othe wall ? I am confident the party leaders will not withdraw their support now they have the facts before them. They are pledged to Henry Jons, and nothing but Henry Jones. Will ch.ey defy the working-men who havi been their allies? Yes! We shall see. The facts cannot be denied. They are the accurate facts supplied by the seamen them- selves. They back an eloquent appeal from our ill-paid toilers on the sea. to their fellow-men ashore. A number of Park Ward working men have sam the Trades' Union questions in formal form to Mr. Courtis, and. of course, it has been answered satisfactorily and enthu- siarsticallv. l't is not the principle of a moment. Mr. Courtis, all his life long, has worked on the same prinaiple, and the excel- lent policy pursued towards his employes will naturally be carried out upon the municipal beard. The working men who isked the ques- tion have set Mr. Courtis up, with their Con- servative brethren, as the Labour candidate. All hail to my old friend! He is a. truer Labour candidate than the Liberal party it Cardiff will ever put in the field. That was- a sweet wheeze worked at the St. liter's Guild-hall, Roath, last night. This is a hall not It for political purposes, yet the meeting held there is described as "a meeting in support of the candidature of Mr. Henry Jones." Ah, ha! The gentlemen who let the hall are severe in the censure of the mearte by which the" meeting of supporters" got possession of ¡ the halil. It was originally applied for <C«l behalf of Irishmen who wished to discuss the municipal œndidaw8 in private." So, and behold, Mr. Henry Jiomes was invited to attend, against the wishes of the Catholic gentlemen who allowed the use of the hall, and the meeting was converted into one for his support. It was a small one, but no matter. The principle pursued in the letting of the hall was disobeyed.

A little child named Edgar Felix Howard Wayland, aged two yeare, died from the eifeets of soaldin-g at his parents' house, 8, Pant-road, Malpas-road, Newport, on Monday. The girl who was holding the ohild accidentally let him fall between the fender and the grate, and,whilst the mother was stooping to pick hftn up, a kettle of boiling water on the hob was overturned and fell on the child. Dr. G. Daviee was called, but death endued in the afternoon. At the instance of the officials of the Bir- mingham Health Department. Thomas John- i son Lipton, the well-known tea grocer and provision merchant, was summoned at Bir- mingham Police-court on Tuesday for selling sugar adulterated with 25 per cent. of car- bonate of lime in crystals, being ground pave- ment stones. The case was proved by several witnesses, including the Birming- ham medioal officer of health, and the magis- trates imposed a. fine of £5 and costs. Notice of appeal >wa* given. The funeral of the late Rev. John Edwards, pastor of Philadelphia Chapel, Morriston, took place on Tuesday at Cefn Cemetery, Mer- thyr, There was an unusually large* atten- dance of ministers, and many of the leading gentlemen of Morrisrton were present at the obsequies.

Sub Judice Comments APPLICATION AGAINST A BRECON NEWSPAPER. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on Tuesday (before Mr. Justice Wright and Mr. Justice Bruce, sitting as a. divisional court), the case of the Queen v. Filgate, ex parte Williams and Others came on for hearing. Mr. Benson said he appeared in this case on behalf of Mr. Filgate. His learned friend Mr. Carrington had obtained a rule against him calling on him to show cause why a writ of attachment should not issue to com-mil him for contempt of court for publishing in a newspaper, or causing to be published in the "Brecon and Radnor County Times" of the 31st of December last, certain comments relating to four men who were charged with night poaching and other offences. No doubt the paper did contain some editorial comment which had been read to their lordships, but .which he did not propose to read again, and which he was not instructed to defend. When the article was written Mr. Filgate was in London on business. He had only been the editor of the paper for three months, the; property belonging to a company. Still, he was responsible for the appearance of the paragraph, and he now expressed his regret that it should have appeared. He would I do anything which might be suggested for I counteracting the paragraph and prevent it prejudicially affecting in any way the trial of the prisoners. Mr. Justice Wright asked if it was proposed to move to change the trial. Mr. Carrington, for the prisoners, said that to move to change the trial. Mr. Carrington, for the prisoners, said that I could only be done in this court by certiorari, and to move tliat the persons asking for the change would have to agree to pay ail the costjs. The prisoners could not do that. The judge at the trial, 'hich was fixed at present to come on next Tuesday, before Mr. Justice Lawrance, at Brecon, ceuld make any order as to the postponement of or the change of venue of the trial, and he should ask their lordships to express some opinion on the point. Otherwise, if an application of the kind was made for the prisoners, it might be assumed that it vas an effort to put off the evil uav. Mr. Justice Wright said no doubt the article was calculated very seriously to pre- judice the fair trial of the prisoners in the locality where this paper was circulated. Under these circumstances, if Mr. Filgate had been shown to have been actuated by any personal feeling, or that he had even been cognisant of the publication of the article, it would have been the duty oÎ the court to take strong measures to prevent the recurrence of anything of the kind. But the court entirely accepted his as to how the article came to appear. Therefore, the only thing they would order wa.s that Mr. Filgate must pay the costs of this application.. With reference to the suggestion that the trial should take place in another county, there was a dIfliculty about that. But, no doubt, the learned judge at the assizes would take into consideration any application made to him as to the trial. If he shared the opinion of him- self (Mr. Justice Wright) and his learned brother Bruce, that the article was necessa- rily calculated to prejudice a fair trial of the defendants at Brecon at the present time. lie would make such an order as he thought fit in the matter He and his hot her Bruce would take tl.e opportunity of communicating with Mr. Justice I swranM. the judge of assize, and as Mr. Benson would be at the assizes the matter might also be safely left in his hands. On Mr Filgate paving the costs M oetween solicitor and client the rule would be discharged. Mr. Justice Bruce concurred. Mr. Camn<;ton was instructed by Messrs. Andrew. Wood, and Putves, and Mr. Benson by Messrs. Riddell, Vaizey, and Smith.

CARDIFF TRAMWAYS COMPANY. ANOTHER DINNER TO EMPLOYES. The fourth seotion of the employes of the Cardiff Tramways Company held their seventh annual dinner at Barry's Hot-dl on Tuesday evening. There were about 60 person5 pre-ent, Mr. S. Hem presiding. He wa.s supported by Mr. R. B. Goodyer, the Rev. Canon Thompson, Mr. T. H. Stevens, Councillor Illtyd Thomas, Drs..VIair and J. L Perry, Mr. J. Stuart, and Rev. Canon Thompson responded on behailf of the clergy and ministers of all religious denominations. — Mr. Hern (president) briefly proposed "The Town and TrJde of CaTdilf." He said he remembefed Cardiff when nobody would venture at night to a point below what is now the Queen's Hotel.—Mr. Stephens, Coun- cillor llltvd Thomas, and Mr. Ferrier, whose names had been coupled with the toast, responded. The second-named gentleman said the corporation of Cardiff endeavoured to pro- gress as fast as the trade did, and he believed that if t'.ie tramways were owned by tit cor- poration it would be to he benefit of the town generally, a view that was not agreed in by Mr. Ferrier, who thought that the nuinieipalisation of every enterprise was not a wise policy to pur=ue.

LOCAL LAW CASES. CLAIM FOR SALVAGE. On Tuesday the case of the Owners and Crew of the Wild Rose v. The Owners of the Stanmore, her Cargo and Freight, came on in the Admiralty Division of the High Couit. This was a claim of the plaintiffs for com- pensation for salvage services rendered by the steam tug Wild Rose, of Carditf, to the sail- ing barque Stanmore, of Liverpool, in Swan- sea Bay. on November 10 iMt.—The case had not concluded when the court rose.

CURIOUS KAFFIR MARRIAGES Strange as it may seem (says the "Pall Mall Gazette"), polygamy is still the prevailing form df marriage entered into by the operation of native law; and the plurality of wives receives due recognition from the Crovernment—a fact due in great measure to the wisdom of the late Sir Theophilus Shep- Rtone, who insisted that the keystone off effec- tive native administration was protection, within bounds, of their existing- customs and usages.

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A CniPFJuB. All inquest was held at South Shields nn Tuesday on Mary Jane Bennett, who died from injurios inflicted .on the /he-id, it is alleged, by George Bennett, her husband, a cripple. The pair quarrelled, but it was sought to show that deceased accidentally injured her bead by coming in contact with a nail in a cross- beam. A verdict of manslaughter was returned against George Bennett.

AN OLD COINAGE. Ti,e Treasury authorities have just receivetl from the chief-cotistiable cf Buckingham a lemarkil-le collection of 23 coins recently dis- covered at the vilkge d Whitchurcn, through the falling in of a. ceiling of an eld house. They are all of silver, and belong to the pericd covered by the roisrns of Eliza-bo.h, J;;n.es I., and Charles 1. The bulk of i "em are in MI excellent st-ate cf preservation. The oldest date decipherable is 1565.

A meeting of the Cardiff Electrical and Lighting Committee was held at the Town- hall on Tuesday. Alderman Carey presiding.- Mr. J. H. Hallett spoke of the necessity of improved lighting in Newport-road, between Castle-road, and Wordsworth-street.—Mr. J. H. Cory a"ked for mere light in the neighbour- hood of Loudoun-stree't, Docks, opposite the Forester's Arms, saying the place was so dark fcha>t several persons had sustained injuries by running against the letter box in the road.- Mr. Good suggested that more illumination was also required in Allan's-lane, at the end of Park-place.—The suggestions were referred to Mr. Harpur to report upon. I

Michael v. Linton Fiasco A MATCH THAT DID NOT COME OFF. A Wilkos Barre (Pennsylvania) corrpspon- dent MTites -Here we are among the colliers. As I look out of the hotel window, I can scarcely realise that I am among the "Huns," and the Welshmen who have cut such a big swath in the coal-mining industry of America. Our stay in Washington has been much longer than I Had intended it to be. Jemmy Michael was responsible in. the main for tnis. He and his manager, Tom E.ck, had promised to make a, match with Tom Linton, and we had to wait advices from the people in Florida, who were hanging up the purse. These people were in just such a. quandary as I was. 'lhey had announced that tne Linion-Michacl match was to take place at Jacksonville, Florida, on January 18. It looks to me very much as though both Tom Eck and Jimmy Michael were both in for a peck of trouble. Air. Biake, the manag-er of the Florida Amusement Company, is not the man to be trilled with. He is sure to take the matter before the League of American Wheelmen, and it is quite possible that a civil suit will be the outcome of the tangle. The L.A.W. will be rough on the manager and man. This fooling of people and the breaking of con- tracts with impunity will be dealt with in a very summary manner. After waiting for Eck and Michael until my patience was worn out, a move was made to Wilkes Barre. Quite an affecting leave-taking was enacted at the station. The Peach family, which had looked after us during our stay in Washing- ton, turned out en masse, and gave the boys a rousing send oil. Miss Fannie Davidson (sister of Mabel, now in London), the Cana- dian skater, was also on boaul. It looked more like a family parting than a simple ex- change of adieitx of comparative strangers. The trip between Washington and Wilkes Barre was a momentous one. The main features of it were the innumerable changes that had to be indulged in these, of course, necessitating as many awakenings as there were changes. Eventually the journey came to an end, and we arrived in time for a sub- stantial breakfast at the above-named hotel. After that meal had been discussed a move was made to the "Armory," where the races were to take place en Monday and Tuesday evenings. This place, like all of its kind, is used for drilling of soldiers, and has a splen- did floor surface. It is not quite as large as some of the same structures in New York City. Measuring the floor, I found that an fcigtiteen-to-the-mile track could be laid down. The boys kicked a great deal against riding on such a track, but they eventually bowed to the inevitable, and got ready to ride in the different races which constituted the pro- gramme. Just what these things will be like I dread to think. It will be a grand jumble, or I mistake my guess. In my next letter I will tell you all about it, but it is more than probable-that the cable will have giHil 37ou the summary xtlii.v. this letter is somewhere in nMi-ocean. It was intended to have had a second meeting at Scranton, but, as this place is little more than a suburb of Wilkes Barre. it was deemed advisable to concentrate the interest in this place. The next move is to Rochester, the city of lager beer. From there we go to Buffalo, showing in the latter city on Friday and Saturday. Whiie at Rochester the boys will be taken to the Canadian side of the river and shown Niagara Fails. After the 18th. inst. Ave shall be on the fence again. It may be that the Florida people will insist on seeing Tom Linton. If they do, then the whole party will be taken to Jacksonville to help the champion make some new records. He will have a try to do thirty-two miles in the hour I and also lower the mile figures. In deference to Mr. Simpson's wishes, Linton will try and make a. new record for the kilometre.

LONDON AND PROVINCIAL BANK. PROSPEROUS HALF-YEAR'S BUSI- NESS. The ordinary general meeting of this bank wart held on Tuesday at the City Terminus Hotel, Cajmon-street, Sir Herbert G. Maxwell presiding.—The report, whicih we have already printed, recommended a dividend for the naif- year cf 17 per cent.—The Chairman, in moving the report and balance-sheet, Ra,id he thought that tho bank, without exag- geration, might be said to be ae nearly impregnable as any institution depend- ing upon human foresight and action could be. Not only had the volume of their Just- ness very largely increased during the past, year, but the profits had increased in an almost equal proportion. This was due to the rise in the Bank rate a.nd the general revival in trade throughout the country, which had pre- vailed to an extent that very few people would have cured to forecast last year. The chief anxiety for some years had been in agricul- tural centres, but there, also, they had had a marked improvement during the last twelve months. The most remarkable feature in the htt;lal.ce.iheet was the amount on the current dc.po.cit and other accounts due to customers.— £ 8,665,000. This showed tho very large in;<r«",i.3e of £ 1,140.000 in twelve months. The profits, after making ample provision for bad a.nd doubtful debts, amounted to £66,096, which was £9,900 more than they parned in the half- yeair ending December, 1895, and £ 4,000 more than they earned in the half-year ended last June.—Mr. Mitrbell seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. and a dividend of 17 per cent. per annum fo'-mallv declared.—The directors who retired Iw rotation were Sir Joseph Savory, Mr. Richard Mitchell, and Sir Alexander Mon- r-leir. who were re-e'oc-ted. as also were the auditors, 'Messrs.

SUICIDE OF A BRISTOL I DOCTOR A SAD STORTT. An inquiry was held at Bristol on Tuesday by the city coroner (Mr. H. G. Doggett) on the body of Dr. Albert George Cunningham, aged 36 years, of "Wellington House, Staplaton-road, for uliree years member of ihe Bristol City Council, who was found dead in bed on Sunday morning last. Mr. George Cunningham said his son had been in good health of late, but domestic troublerj had preyed on his mind for the laet twelve months. At times he was dreadfully low and depressed, and his temperament wa's excitable. Miss Mary Graoe Cora dine, housekeeper, said she found a paper in deceased's coat pocket after his death. I The Coroner read the letter, as follows:- "They have plotted against me to ruin my happiness and ruin me out of sheer malice, and poisoned my poor girl's mind. They have robbed me of my wife and child, and brought false charges against me. I swear they are false. Life is so nii.-erable I cannot endure it, and they would worry me to my dying day amd make a beggar of me if they could. I pity my I poor, misled wife for the part she has played." Dr. John Ambrose said lie had known deceased for five years and a half. In the early part of last year he was very depressed, but latterly he had been most active in prepara- tion., for his defence on Monday. The appear- ances all pointed to death from prussic acid poisoning. By a. iuryman Was he in the habit of speak- ing of a plot against him?—Frequently. Mr. William Aris, dispensary assistant to Dr. Cunningham, said that on the way baok from his solicitor's on Saturday deceased was cryir.g all the time. He spoke in terms of affection of his wiie. and sa d he wished neither he nor his wife had to go into the witness-box. He said to witness on Saturday evening, "I tell you what it is. Aris; I feel I cannot go into the witness-box and speak against my wife." Mr. Edward Parfrey, 54, Tyne-road, Bishop- ston,aid that deceased was at -his houee late on Saturday riight, when he eat in a, chair for over i 3.11 hour and sobbed, with his hands before his I face. He referred to two ladies, who a he spoke « of as 'those two reptiles." About February I last witness heard deceased threaten to blow his brains out and also those of his wÜ'e's sisters, but he never made any accusation f gainst his wife. Dr. Frederick Weatherby, barrister, slid that on Saturday deceased was engaged with him with reference to the divorce action. He spoke affectionately of his wife. but coupled with the charges of cruelty there wore charges of adultery, which deceased was confident of disproving. So anxious was he to spare his wife that he was willing to admit, in a. sense, the charges of cruelty. A telegram arrived in the midst of the discussion saving that the case was fixed for Monday, and deceased imme- diately became so depressed that he could not answer the simplest question. The Coroner having-summed up, The jury brought in a, verdict to the effect that deceased committed suicide by taking prussic acid whilst of unsound mind.

From three to four hundred marines will he landed, under the command of Major Thomas H. de M. Roche, of the St. George; Captain Bertram Couchmari, Lieutenant Arthur H. French, Lieutenant Francis D. Bridges, -?,nd a captain and subaltern to be sent from Plymouth, whose names are not yet known. Bluejackets to the ni mber of about 500, together with a detach- ment of Houssas and native levy, will accom- pany the expedition, making a total of 1,400 ir.en. Her Majesty's ship St. -'Jeorge leaves here on Wednesday evening.

The Berlin correspondent of -die "Times" telegraphed on Monday :—A complete change cf attitude with regard to the situation of affairs in British West Africa has come ever a certain section of the German press. This evening the Berlin "Neueate Nachrichten" learns from "Colonial sources" that "Germ-va interests could only be affected by the campaign of tie Royal ISiigor Company against Nupe if the Gtuner treaty had aotuallv been recognised on all sides." One cannot, therefore, at present speak of a.ny injury to German interests at the hfuids c,f the English. Still more emphatic, however, on this question is the "Post," which s-A.v.We can only repeat tha assertion that iH!1uential circles in Germany are convinced that, in regard to the hinterland of Togo, gome agreement will be arrived at which will pro- vide in full measure for cur interests. We have secured by treaties what profitable terri- tory has been available. It must not. be for- gotten that, according to the Cameroons treaty, we have no rights eastward of the fifteenth meridian, and, consequently, cannot interfere there. England look no exception lo our waging wars in the sphere of our own interests, and we have no justification in attempting to interfere where the English sphere of interest i, concerned. Nupe lie-, as a passing glance at the map will show, in the hinierland of Lagos. We have no right to prot?;t against English armaments in this territory. If, however, pro- tE-St is made and tho English pre, is given C'.vs3 for making insinuations al!3..ïn"t Ger- many, we can only repeat what n-cently the Colog-ne Gazette' most clearly stated, that fanta-stn freaks in Colonial spheres rrlv tend to discredit our whole Colonial policy."

GUNBOAT BLOWN UP. SIX SPANIARDS KILLED. A telegram from Havannah on Tuesday states that the Spanish gunboat Rel-ampago has been blown up by a torpedo and sunk in the River Canto. The survivors were fired on from the banks as they were swimming in the water, but weie rescued by a boat from another gunboat, the Centinela. Six of the Spaniards were killed, and nearly all on both gunboats were wounded, including the two commanders, Martinez and Pue-rta. The Commander Drowned. A Central News telegram from Madrid on Tuesday says:—The Havannali correspondent of the "Imparcial" telegraphs that while the litrht gnnboats Centinela and Relampago were ascending the River Canto on the morning of t-he'17th from Manzanillo to Foreguaiio, the latter vessel was torpedoed by the insurgents at Mar.go It sank almost instantaneously, and the members of the crew who escaped with their lives were exposed to a fierce rifle fire from the banks. The boat of the Centinela was, however, lowered, and the survivors courageously rescued. Commander Puerta, of the Centinela, was very badly wounded, while almost all the members of the two crew* were killed or injured. The Centinela was obliged to return to Manzandlo. When the Rela.mpago went down Commander Martinez and five others lost their lives, and all the rest of the total sixteen men on board were wounded.

BECHUANALAND RISING. REBELS HELPED BY THE BOERS. The Cape Town correspondent of the "Daily Mail" telegraphs:—The natives who were killed in last Friday's engagements in Bec-huanaland carried rifles bearing the Transvaal coat-of- arms. A native woman who was captured after the fight declared that the Boers had pro. mised tho insurgents that they would help them against the English. Colonel Harris, in an interview at Kimberley, hao denounced as an "unmitigated lie" the statement in the Boer paper "Ons Land tha,t Mr. Rhodes on the occasion of his recent visit to Kimberley earnestly warned the volunteers there to keep prepared for eventualities.

ACCIDENT TO A CONVICTS TRAIN- SEORE SERIOUS THAN AT FIRST REPORTED. The collision with a convict's train at Borstal, near Rochester, on Monday was more serious than at first was reported. The pri- soners had been employed at Bridgewood Fort, and were returning to the gaol, the men being locked inside the carriages, and armed warders keeping guard on the platforms. The convicts, realising from the high speed at which the train was travelling that an acci- dent was inevitable, became demonstrative, and shouted to the warders to unlock the doors. A warder, grasping the fact that the train was rushing on towards the Riiver Med- way, leaped from a carriage as it reached cer- tain points, and, quickly catching the Jever, succeeded in turning the train into a siding. The train collided with a storekeeper's shed, which was demolished, together with the boundary wall and a fence. Several carriages were wrecked or damaged, and the governor's railway coach, which wa.s stand- ing opposite the prison galos. was smashed. The convict who La;* his leg broken is doing as well as can be ex- pected, but he suffers great pain. Three warders are temporarily incapacitated.

The Late Bishop of St David's. REMOUAL OF THE BODY TO GWYNFRYN. AN IMPOSING AND SOLEMN I PROCESSION. Tho ,0<n, at Abergwili and if," surroundings I on Tuesday morning .awakened many memories of the pact in the minds of the hundreds who vitiies-ed and partook in it. The lift work of the late Bishop of St. David's gained lustre, from it.; thoroughness and success, in the hearts of those present as they realised more than ever by the nearness of the pi-lace of mourning that all that was left of the revered prelate was but dust of dust, and the knowledge that even this was about to be removed for ) ever from the gaze of his fellow-men caused deep i-orrow in every heart. The clergy felt the greatn-ees of their loss. A sense of awe seemed to pervade the place. The palace, which has lM. n the home of many an erudite prelate, was on Tuesday doubly remini-cent in the sight of the clergy and laity, as 't held the laot of a bishop they had all known i.nd whose nemory they revered. THE SCENE IN THE HALL. Such thoughts these could not be resisted on Tuesday morning, as the clergy and laitv commenced to gather in large numbers in the grounds of Aberg.vili Palace in readiness for the solemn ceremony of removing the body .>f tne late Dr. Basil Jones from the s.-ene of its dissolution. The coffin had bee i carried on the previous evening from the death-chamber to the fpacious hall immediately facing the main entrance, and it was a rad, yet grand, epeotacle to watch the little knote of people who passed softly in and out of its precincts. Their tik-nce in that ho ir of communion with the dead spoke louder than words. To the eye the right in the hall wa.s a beautiful and sigtiikcant one. The coffin rested (n a. small platform in the middle of the floor, but was entirely hidden from view by sweet-scented floral tributes sent from sorrowing friends in all directions. Magnifioent wreaths, crosses, and other emblems of affectionate remembrance also met the eye on every side of the room—it was a veritable mass of rare and exquisitely arranged flowers. SERVICE AT THE PRIVATE CHAPEL. Whilst the hundreds who had congregated to pay a Last tribute of respect and admiration for their dear old bishop were passing to and fro in th" hall anld grounds the bereaved family were engaged in prayer at the private C'hapel ir, the palace. This little oratory, whIch is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is a tial- lowed spot, capable of accommodating about 60 worshippers. It was consecrated by Bishop Liud in 1625, but has since undergon-3 com- plete renovation. The late bishop had spent hundreds of pounds in its adornment, and held family service in it uninterruptedly since his elevation to the see. The furniture and ap- pointments are of polished oak, and at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning the little sanc- tuary wa s lighted up with a number of waxen candles, preparatory to the holding of family prayer. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Thomas Thc-mas, vicar of Abergwili, and the worshippers present were:—Mrs. Basil Jones and her three children, Mr. and Mrs. FiVtiard Jones, Blenheim House, Swansea.; Mrs. Auohlinle'k; Mr. and Mrs. Parkinson, Custle Pigyn; Mr. Lloyd Philipps, Penty- park; Mrs. Thomas, Abergwili Vicarage; Miss Hancooke, Troedybryn, Carmarthen; and Dr. Jameg Rowlands, together with the chief mourners mentioned elsewhere. ),11'. B. Sin. clair Davies, organist of Oswestry Grammar School, having rendered the beautiful music of the voluntary, "But* the Lord is mindful of His own" (St. Paul), the vicar read impres- sively the suitable prayers, after which the hymn, "Peace, perfect peace," was sung by tlie small congregation. Then followed the voluntary, "0, rest in the Lord," and a silent prayer and the pronouncing of the Benediction ended the service, which was m its simplicity a inoai Si )iemn one. THE CORTEGE. In the meantime the clergy had robed in the palish church, which adjoins the palace grounds, and the van of the procession had been foimed in file under the superintendence of foimed in file under the superintendence of Sergeant-major Cooper and Superintendent Smith, of Carmarthen. First came the general public, representing the professions and trades in the town and district, amongst whom were Genera; Sir Jameg Hill-Johnes, G.C.B., V.C., Dolaucothi; Mr. E. H. Morris, Brynmyrddin; Mr. Dudley Williams Drummond, Pcrtiscliffe; Mr. Thomas Parkinson, Ca-rtle Pigyn; Mr. Thomas Thomas, Wellfield Mr. T. W. Barker, h.lin Lodge; Mr. R. W. Thomas, tpwn-clerk of Carmarthen; Alderman C. W. Jones; Alder- man E. A. lingers, Alderman Thomas Davies, M r. Howell H owells, Pontcarreg; Mr. Walter Spun-ell, Dr. Bo wen Jones, Mr. John Francis, Myrtle Hill; Mr. T. E. Brigstocke. Mr. C. E. Davies, Mr. H, C. Carpenter, Mr. E. Francis, Penygraig; Mr. James Philipps, Mr. James Davies, Mr. T. Bland Da.vies, Mr. Thomas Jones, Mansel-street; Mr. Golby Evuns, Mr. A. LI. Davies, Mr. Edward Lewis, Oillefwr; Mr. C.

Following the long line .of public came the Nonconformist ministers, amongst them being the Revs. D. J. Thomas, D. S. Davies, David Evans, and W. Hughes, all of Carmarthen.; and the Revs. Samuel Evans, Cwmdwyfran; Peter Davies, Panteg; G. Griffiths, Whitemill; and Emrys Lloycl, Pe-nygraig. Next came the Very Rev. Father Polycarp Clifford, C.P., Dean of the AVelsh Vicariate, and the Rev. Father Fidelis, C.P., Carmarthen, .represent.ing the Roman Catholic community. Then fiollowed, in cap- and gowns, tho senior students of the South Wales Train- ing College, an institution which has I greatly benefited by the bishops chair- manship, and the clergy of the Church in full robes. The white sur- plices of the clergy acted aa a relief to the soinbreness of the procession, and served to mfke the scene a very impressive one. The d-icoese being so scattered and extensive, the train arrangements did not serve for the more distant portion# of it so earlv in the day. This fact, coupled with the knowledge that the greater portion of the clergv will attend at Llangynfelin to-day (Wednesday), militated against a greater attendance; vet the number present was a very large one, and showed tha.t the clergy had made every Effort to partici- pate in the ceremony. Amongst the clergy in the woeession were: Canon Lewis, St. Davids; Canon Williams, Carmarthen, dioce-an miA'ioner; Prebendary D. Pugh Evansv R.D., Lampeter Velfrey; the Revs. S.

Friar's Park, Car- marthen. The choir of Abergwili Church, numbering a.bout 50, and marshalled by the parish organist, Mr. E. Heard Davies, came in the next order, followed by the first carriage, conveying the undertaker, Mr. Jno- Jones, Abergwili, and the general furnisher. Mr. Hy. Thomas, Golden Anchor, Carmarthen. Then ctme the open hearse. When the coffin had been removed from the ball and placed in the hearse, the choir sang, with precision and taste, the old Welsh hymn, "0 frvniau Caersalem." the refrain being taken up the whole length of the procession. The ooffin was covered with a beautiful violet pall, bearing a crimson cross. Not a twentieth part of the floral tributes could be placed in the hearse, a.nd a special 'bus was set apart for their reception. The bearers marching on each side were aill old employees of the deceased prelate, namely, Messrs. T. F. Kightley, E. A. Duckfield, James Walters, Jno. Richards, W. TurberviNe, Richard Wil- liams, W. Jones, Dl. Jones, \V. Davies, and Dd. Evans- Immediately behind came the maid- servants, and then the mourning coaches in the I foIlowing order, and containing:—;1) Mr. 'Everard Jones, Swansea (brother), Mr. Tyldes- ley Jones and Mr. Ba^il Jones, Svvansea (nephews), Mr. Joseph Loxda'le, formerly of Aigburth, Liverpool, now of Edinburgh (brother-inlaw), and Mr. Reginald Loxdaie, Castle B.i:ll, Llanilar (cousin-in-law). (2) Mr. Aufhinleck, of C'reven.a.gh, Omagh, County Tyrone (nephew-in-law). and the Rev. D. E. W illiams, Llawhaden, examining chaplain to the deceased. (3) The Lord Bishop of Swansea, the V IN. Archdeacon of Carmarthen, the Rev. Shadrac-Ii Pryce, and the Rev. Thos. Thomas, vicar of Abergwili. (4) Dr. James Rowlands, deceased's medical attendant: Mr. J. H. Barker, diocesan registrar and bishop's seoretary and Mr. S. Wadams, the bishop's apparitor. Bring- IIIIX up the rear were a large number of private carriages, amongst them being those represent- ing Mr. E. M. Davies, Uplands; Mrs. Latimer Jones, Pibwrwen; Mr. T. Parkinson, Castle Pigyn; Mr. H. Pryse, Ystradwrallt; the Rev. F. F. Mazuehelli, Alltygog; Dr. Bowen Jonea, and the Boln.haul family. This short sketch will serve to enable our readers to gain some conception of the vastness a.nd impressive appearance of the mournful cortege. Every house in the village of Aber- gwilj— whose inhabitants had. so much cause to remember the good deeds of the late prelate amongst them—showed signs of mourning, every blind being drawn. The little groups at dif- ferent stages of the two-mile journey reverently lifted their hats and bowed their heads as the he-arse passed, and many a. tearful eye could be detected en route. The streets of Carmar- tnen through which the procession passed, from the Old Oak in Priory-street to the town rail- way station, were lined with the general public. Business had been stopped: the shops were closed, at the request of the mayor, and shutters raised a.nd blinds drawn in every direetiol1-ilo general an indication of sorrow a,nd sympathy was, indeed, a telling tribute of respect to the dead. They all loved the Bishop of St. David's, and nothing could prevent them from exhibit- ing their feelings on that morning. The flag of historic St. Peter's Church hung at half- mast, and the big bells in the tower tolled at slow, measured intervals. The cortege arrived at one o'clock outside the platform, where special vehicles were in waiting. The arrange- ments had been carefully planned by the stafcionniaster (Mr. J. Carter), and the train was accompanied by District Chief Inspector Elliott, of Swansea. The train left at 1.32 p.m. ror Aborystw-ith, en route for Gwynfrvn, the late bishop's private, residence, whence the funeral will take place to-day (Wednesday). AiUU V AL OF THE BODY AT ABER- YSTWITH. The train from Carmarthen was about half an hour late on its arrival a.t Aberystwith, but, notwithstanding- the cold, ra.w weather which provailid, a large number of people had assembled on the platform. Among them were Mr. Robert Houghton (mayor), Aldermen Thomas Griffiths, J.P. (ex-mayor), and Thomas Doug-lit on, Councillors Isaac Hopkins, J.P., E. P. W yune, John Watkins, jun., John Lewis, J.P., D. C. Roberts, and Mr. A. J. Hughes (town-clerk), Alderman C. M. Williams, J.P. ,chairman of the Cardiganshire County Council), Mr. F. R. Roberts (agent for the Gwynfryn Estate). Archdeacon Protheroe, the Rev. D. LewU (Liangwyryfon), W. Evans (Llangorwen), Lbenexer Jones (Llarnbadani), J. M. Griffiths (Aberayron), W. Morgan (St. Mary's Welsh Church, Aberystwith), T. Williams (Baptist minister, Aberystwith), J. H. Farmer (St. Michaei's, Abeiystwith), W. Gabe (Llanbadarn), Captain David Lloyd, Messrs. John Richards, John Morgan, Basil Williams, J. H. Edwards ("Young Wales"'), Sheraton, Edward Evans, J.P., J. R. Rees (manager of the North and South Wales Bank), T. Kilvinton, Mr. Clark (art master at the University College of Wales), Captain John Evans, and Mr. Richard Felix. In the special saloon carriage, which formed part of the train, were the Bishop of Llandaff, the Rev. David Williams (Llawhaden), Reginald J. R. Loxdaie (Castle Hill), Messrs. T. Basil Jonw (nephews of tlhe deceased), Mr. Auchen- neck (nephew to Mrs. Jones). Mr. Joseph Lox- daie (Malvern!, and Mr. S. Wadams. The Bishop of Llandaff left the train at Aberyst- with, but the others whose names are given proceeded by the special train t< Y nyslas, where Mr. Everard Jones, brother of the deceased, and the Rev. G. Roderick, vicar of Llancynfelin, with sixteen of the oldest tei ants of the estate, who acted as bearers, were in attendance. The heaive to convey thf body to Gwynfryn, two mourning coaches, and a wagonette, were supplied by CaptaHn Wemyss, of the Lion Royal Hotel, Aberystwith. THE SCENE ATL YNYSLAS. Ihe 8: ene at the littl# station of Ynysias was a very impressive one. It was dusk when the tpecial train arrived, and the grey mist which spread over tohe Hat country was only relieved by the not far distant hills surrounding Gwyn- fryn. With scarcely a whisper the bearers first removed the wreaths from the van, and then shouldered the coffin and almost noiselessly placed it in the hearse- The small but solemn procession then started over the level two and a half miles which separated the station from Gwynfryn. On arriving at the seat of his ancestors, the mortal remains of the bishop were placed in the drawing-room, from which they will be removed to the churchyard to-day. The burial ground, in which a new vault has been formed, was given by the late bishop to extend the yard in which his pre- decessors were laid to rest, and his body will be the first to rest in the new mausoleum. FEELING IN NORTH CARDIGAN- SHIRE. The people of Aberystwith were somewliiait disappointed with .the alteration which was made in the arrangements practically at the last moment. it had been made generally known. by the clergy and many of the more prominent members of the laity that the body of the deceased prelate would be conveyed from Aber- ystwith Station to Gwynfryn by /oad, and if this programme had been carried out a large procession would have been formed, without aiiy distinction of religious creeds or politics. It was on Monday that a request waa made to the Cambrian Railway Company to provide a. special train from Aberystwith to Ynyslas, the nearest station to Gwynfryn. The arrange- ments for the special were left in the hainds of Mr. Kilvington, the etationmaster at Aber- ystwith, who made every pos6ible..preparatian for the accommodation of the public. Still, there was :t certain amount of disappointment that the programme had been altered—wisely, no doubt—and many who would otherwise have attended on Tuesday determined to defer their last tribute üf resneei to the late bishop to to- day (Wednesday), when the funeral takes place. It is impossible to move about Aberystwith without hearing testimony to the worth and genuine Christian kindness of William Basil Jones, as he is still familiarly called, despite the distinction which entitled him to sign him. self "St. David'e."
