The departed had been ailing for several montha, and a week ago aJarmiag symptoms made their appearance. But she subsequently revived, and her nameroaa friends were sanguine that a changa for the better had set in, and that she might yet recover. So free from alarm were her friends that aome of them went to the evening service. She conversed freely in her usual cheerful manner until seven o'clock, when alarming symptoms appeared suddenly, and ehe* paaeed away immediately after without a struggle. Mrs. Roaaer, who was 36 years of age. waa the only daughter of the late Mr. David Williams (Ata.w Goon), Ynysoynon, Aberdare, and aiater of Mr. GwUvm Williams, Miakin Manor, stipendiary magistrate for Pontypridd. The last named and hia Wlfe had been constant in their attendance upon the suSerer during her fatalillnosa. Much sympathy is felt in the town and neighbourhood for Mr. Boaaer and his two little orphan daughtera in their sad bereavement. At Aberdar&, whore Mra. Roseer had always lived until rao3ntly, and where she waa universally beloved, not only aa the daughter of the popular Alaw Gooh, but for her r .vn excellent qualities, her death will ba folt by all ciMMB M tae !oM of a personal friend.

It having become known on Sunday night that his appeal tor mercy had been rejected by the President of the Republic, a large crowd began to assemble aa early aa nine o'clock round the place of execution. A strong force of infantry and oavalty guarded the square and kept the people at a. dMttUioe. The crowd, in spite of the bitter cold and piercing north-east wind, grew more numercoa towards midnight, and by the hoar of execution all the thoroughfares leading to the spot were crammed with people.

SUICIDE TO AVOID ARREST. The magistrate sitting at Bow atreet police court, London, on Saturday, wae informed that a young man named Wolfe, lodging in Koppelatraet, Russell square, and for whose arrest a warrant had been granted, had committed suicide under somewhat extraordinary circimstanoeg. Corn. plaints of a serious character had been made by several ot the occupants of the houaea opposite the residence of the deceased, and a gentleman instructed Mr. Abrama to apply for a warrant, which was granted. On Friday evening two police cnioera of the E Division proceeded to execute the warrant, and the deceased asked the landlord of the house to become bail for him. He then requeste'd permission of tha cmorra tc* go upstairs tor his hat and coat, and they accordiagly followed h!m wp the ataira, but on nearing the room he hastily preceded them. and rettinsr in first locked the door on the onioera. Before they could enact a forcible entrance he succeeded ia putting hia throat with a razor, and died almost immediately afterwards. Mr.Fiowera said it was a very ead story, and led to the assumption that the deceased was su&ering from insanity.

OPPOSITION TO THE TRANSFER OF THE PHEASANT INN, SWANSEA. A meeting was held at Ebenezer Chapel, Swan- <m, on Friday week, to protest againat the transfer of the licence of the Pheaaant Inn to Dyvatty street. Captain Daviea, in opening the meeting, stated that he presumed the object of the meeting was for the same purpose aa that recently held in Zoar Chapel, namely, to oppose the granting of any further licences for pubtio- houaea in that neighbourhood. He found thstt what he had stated at the former maeting had been nueconatrued. The ground by him was the broM ground of opp6ait!on to the exten. eion of anymore ofthia traiSo. In thia connection ho l>ad ftated that he did cot agree with the members of Parliament, and ho alao disagreed with hia friend the Mayor of Swansea—not that he (the mayor) was in favour, on the contrary, he wsa decidedly opposed to granting thia partiotllr licence—but what he (M.r. Daviea) objected to waa a tfp&eah made by the mayor at LI&nelty, in wh'oh bo declared himself opposed to the principle of local option, stating' as hia reMona that the valua of property would bo disturbed, a.nd so forth, coi.6i<lt-rat:oiia to which he (the attached little weight when contrasted with the more im. poTt&nt value of the comforts and existenca of thoufacda of oar fellow countrymen. He sincerely hoped that Mr. Jeckins would yet see hia way clear to adopt thia aa part cf hia politico pro. gramme. A resolution, similar to that passed at the former meetings, was adopted on the motion cf Mr. W. Richards, seconded by Mr. M.. Jonea, and supported by the Re. Mr. Higman, Rich&rde, &nd Mr. C. H. Glascodine. A depnta. < ion was appointed to wait on the Bc&g'atfatea to ccnvey the above resolution, A vote of taaaks to the chairman tormijDa-ted the meeting.

A PRIEST'S MISTAKE. Mr. Murphy, the Roman Catholic prioat at Irvine, haa commiti.ed the error oi supposing that he t'oeBeseeB citizen rights. Ha :ta, it aeema. a sympathiser with the Irish Nationaliata and a believer in Mr. Parnell. Ho promised to pres.de at the recent .Nationalist meeting at Glasgow, believing that he had every right tn do so ijf ho chose. But his bishop forbade him to ful&l hia promise, and Mr. Murphy, like a good Roman C&tholio, obeyed. He, however, diaobayod the epirit of the prohibition while observing ita letter by Bending a note <,i apology to the meeting, in which he that, though absent ia body, he was rreent in and expressed a hope that God Blight gmdo Mr. Parnell. For thia tha bishop haa removed Mr. Murphy from his charge, an act at which the congregation are bigbl w::1ignant, ii; bM: gr, &8 they proparly say, an interference with hia rights aa a citizen. It ie not for un to apportion blame in the tB&tter, but Mr. Murphy oerta.inly ought to h-tv-s t<ncwn that. aa a Poptah priest, bound ad foot to the will of his ecclesiastical superior, be has no citizen rights. Ihe bishop has simply 6cted in conformiLy with the pliucipioa of hia ChUICh, which are that a Roman Catholic must! be a Catholic nrat and a citizen afterwards. A Boman Catholic ia debarred from futullisg the p'!aineft dutie& ot patriotic, or irom exeroiaing the commonest rights of citizenship, if hia aaparior forbidH him to do so; acd in ao far aa MLr. Murphy forgot thia fact, of which ha ought to have been aw&re, he haa btout-ht hia punishment upos hia own hea.d.-Glcsr¡ow jVen's.

APPEAL FROM A WELSH ARBITRATOR. In the Divisional Court of the High Conrb of Justice, the caee of Edwards v. WiUoox wa,a on 111efóday before the Lord Chief Baron &ad Juatica Lcpea. Mr. Lumley Siaith moved on baha-lf of the defendant for a rale caDing upon the pu..mtlff, Mr. John Edwards, to show cause why an arbitra- tion sward should not be set aside. Mr. William Wilicox had been a r&ilway but he had been for the laet few years a haulier- The defen- dant was a builder and contractor, and bota partma resided at Treherbert, in Glamorganshire. Owing to some dinetenoes which arose between them, they agreed to refer a question in dispute to two arbitrators, who were to use the boat endeavour to come to a settlement of the casa, but in case of dispute between them, had power to call in an impartial umpire. According to the amdavit nied by hia client, the defendant, it ap. pearcd that the nr'st meeting was held at tho Stuart Inn, on the 19t,h of November, when only a portion of the defendant'a accounts wece gone into before the arbitrator. At the second meeting the accounts were not considered, bat at: a. third meeting, at which both the arbitrators and both the parties were present, a dieousaion took plaoa about many itema in the plaintiS'a aoouunta. While the discussion was going on a Mr. Heeloy, a grocer, came in. and aat down by tha nre to warm himself. One of the arbitratora asked Mr. Heeley hia opinion about a particular item, and he then eemed. to take an in- terest in the diacaaaion. Nothing, however, waa said about Mr. Heeley being appointed the empire by the arbitrators or by thepariiiea. Another meeting waa held at which, however, nothing WM dennitely arranged. Oa the Slat of December Mr. Heeley Bent a letter to the defon. dant eaying that the two Mbitratora, Meaara. Eoaser and Morgan, would meet at Wyndham Inn to complete the transaction, but he did not then, and never did. atate at nny time that he had been appointed umpire. At a subsequent meeting the defendant told Mr. Heeley that hia accounts had not been properly gone iuto, but notwithstanding, an amount of .884 waa mada against the defendant, out of which Mr. Heoloy said he expected to get -ClO. On the 3rd January the defendant further alleged he received a notiuo that the a.ward was made, but it appeared that Mr. Heeley held a bUl of sale upon the oSeots of the plaintiff. Their loidahipa granted a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show canao why the amount should not be aet aaido.

An engine driver Bameo John ,-&It's stated that he ran a traimfrom Barneley to Shemeld at 7.30 on Saturday night, and had to atop a short time at Atteroliffe, a email static n on the Manchester, SueiSeld, LiBeohishire Railway, about two milea from ShefBeid. After the train had steamed out of Atterclinc, acd had got 150 yards beyond the station, the engine driver waa surprised to sea tue prisoner leap on the footplate of the ongino. Turton was very drunk, and the driver beÜu alarmed for Ha safety, pushed him into a posture en the footplate. The prisoner got up, however, and struggled with the driver, who punbed him into the coal box, and threatened that if Turton did not remain quiet he would put him in the engine nre. He succeeded in quieting the man with this threat, and on reaching SheiReid Turton was given into custody. The Stipendiary adjourned the case for further inquiries.

SALE OF BURGLARS' CONFIS- CATED PROPERTY. A GcEeva correspondent of the writes, under date Jojmary 17 :—" A few days ago the pckcs authorities c'f Gfnava announced by an a¿vutù!ement in the &'UiUe dAvis, tha local gazette, that at a certain time and place th&y w.'uld cS'er for eals by auction a quantity of pece3 dc C01!viction, the accamnlation of three years. The lie-t, which was published in e-xtensQ, comprised a eumcient number of ropes with which suicides had haBgcd themselves, of knives, daggers, a.r.d pistols used by murderers, blood-stained veat. ments, and other similar relica, to furnish a chamber of horrors. But, strangest of all, the police proposed to sell at the aame time all the burglars' unpieiMpts, the jemmies, the koya, the Otowbsrs, the noiseless hand.dtills, the dark lan- terns, and life.preaervers,which they have captured and coDuscated d uring the period in question. This extraordinary conduct of the authorities in ap. parently encouraging a calling which it is one of their nret duties to suppress waa, at nest, supposed to bo an ingenious device for identifying all the actual asd potential housebreakers iu tha country, as no one cot guilty, at least in intention, would think of buying burglars' tools at public auction. But farther reflection seems to hava induced a different conclusion, and it is now con- jectured that the police have no othe? idea than that of turning an honest penny. The thieves' etocks.in-trade they Me aeHing to-day are mr3, sooner or later, to ccme into their hands again, and the proceeds of the satea and ro sa'es of articles, the nrstcoft of which ianil, willdoubHasa form a welcome addition to the NvenllôS of the 8ta:a, at present lamentably in s-rrear."

THE OF IRON- WORKS AT MERTRYR AND DOWLAIS. On Saturday a meeting of the Merthyr Union Ast-eesment CO!ùInittee w&a held, Mr. E. H. Rhya preeicing', for the purpose of coaaideriug' t&e ttS&ceamentB ot the ironworks at Mertlyr and Ùowi&ie. The ChaiBman explained that in con. Kequecce of the CJfarthta Works being in opsra. tion, and things looking so Very mu.:h better at Dowlaia and elaQwhere, he had, as a peraoual favotr, got Mr. W. T. Lewis to draw up a report aa to what the valuation of the various works should be, Mr. Lewis now eent in hia proposal from the Bute Estate oSSoo, Aberdare, aa follotva: *-1. That the present rateable value of tha Dow- laia IroLwotks, us set forth in the rate books, Rhall stand for the year 1880, notwithetttndicg that the old forge and 34 paddling furnaces have been cmiceiy dismantled, and thflt thHÐ arc les.a Mast furnaoea ia tha,n ttbcD Mr. Eedicy and myself made our valuation in 1877. 2. Cytarthi'a: That taese works be iueerted in the rate bcok at .85,705 as a going coBce.Tr, bat that an aUowMca of £,O(j(J be mada in reppt'ot of four bl..st furnaces, 52 puddling fur. naces. ana 24 coke ovens, whiuh are atiil idle. 3.

In the course of some conversation, it waa understood the varioua companies had agreed to the rll.to of asseesment above given, aad Mr. Lewis's ugnrea were unanimously adopted. A further report from Mr. W. T. Lewis, stating that, for the pur- poses of assessment, he considered that Messrs. Harris's Navigation Colliery. and Messrs. Nixon's colliery at YD)BOW6J1, were aa nearly as possible the same, was alao adopted, aad the committee then adjourned.

SWANSEA ADJOURNED LICENSING SESSIONS. On Monday, at Swansea police court, an ad- journed licensing sessiona was held. The atton. dance of magistrates waa very large. THE MUSIC HALL SOTEL. An ttpplication was made by Mr. Bobinaon Smith on behalf of the tenant, Mr. D. P. Smith, that the Bench would not endorse the licence o the Music Hall He stated that when Mr. D. P. Smith was nnod an order was also made to endorse the licence, againat which notice of appeal had been given. A commnnication was informally made ttt a subsequent period on the part of some- one—Be was not certain a-bcut it being received from the head constable—to the effect that if the appeal was not proceeded with the magistrates would reconsider the question of endorsement. He mow asked them to do this. The owners of the house had commenced ejsctment proceedings, but, if he understood rightly, there wa.s no deairo to get rid of the tenant, tho object simply being to protect the licence. He believed Mr. CHaaoodiue, who appeared on behalf of Meesra. Coopar, the owners, would support him. There was a probit. bility, he said, of n new tenant being found in tha event of the magistrates refraining from endorsing the licence. Mr. Fowler: Would the eadorsemoat or non-endorsement innuenoe the ejectmem; pro- ceedings ? Mr. W. B. Smith In the evene ot the licence being kept without endorsement, I under. stand that the ejectment would not be enforced. Mr. Fowler We shall endorse the licence if the present tenant ia allowed to remain in the house. Mr. GIascodine stated that he waa not altogether instructed to support Mr. Smith. He could make only a me di6ed assent to the proposal. On the Bench agreeing not to endorse the licence, and Mr. Smith pay iBg the owners wore w'l!ing to withdraw tho ejectment proceedings. The magistrates having discussed the matter in private, Mr. Fowlor eaid they would have re- frained from endorsing the licence had the change of tenancy taken place within a week or two, but as this waa not so they must oon&rm their decision. The licecoo would be endorsed. TRANSFER <1.

MR. BRIGHT AND SIR W. Y. HAR- COU1.T OPENING OF THE BIRMING- RAM LIBERAL CLUB. The cpeKinp cf the Birmingham Libers! Club was ceJeina.te<\ in the Tow1)..hil. on Toeada.y evoiDg. by a banquet. 350 of the most pron:i!J<:nt ru"mb0rs of the Libsral patty in Birmingham eat down to dinner, undar the presidency cf tbo M.ay<r, Mr. R. Chamber. lain. Mr.JohnBnght.M.P.. S:r W. Yemen Haroourt, M.P., and tho EMi of Camperdown were the chief gu&sta of the occasion. Amoni! the other guests were Mr. C. Cotoa, M.P., Mr. H. Bass, M.P., Mr. T. Lea, M.P., and Mr. H. Rathboae, M.P. The galleries were oooapied chKny by ladies. After dinner Sir W.HABCouRT proposed the toaat ofthoevo' n'ng, "Prosperity to the Birmingham Hberal Clob,"amiQ loud cheers. Having' passed a higheulo gium en the services of Mr. Bright, the right hon. gentleman remarked that he had not come to Birmingham to prophecy, but, in reply to the criticisms recently paaaed upon him by tha Chancellor of the Exchequer, retorted that all tha policy of the Government was prediction, and that in their case i one of the propheoiea they had made. especially as to thp results of the Russian &cd Afghan Wars, had been fueled. He rapu. ciated the doctrine that might ba apprehended from Lord George Hamilton's declaration at Edinburgh the ether day—namely, that it coat more to do right than to oo wrong, and expressed his conviction that i'; would in the long ran ba found more costly to do wrong than to do right. He justified the action of the Liberal pa.rty in regard to the mischievous foreign policy of the present Administration, and in answer to thoaa who assert that the Eogiieh people should correct their own vie.ws by those of their neighbours, he quoted from tha French journal?, which spoka in etiengly condemnatory tsrmfi of the oonduoii of her IMajeety'a Goverum&nt. Ho twitted th? Mjnisiera with their to ridicule, !\nd concluded by the company to drink tha toast ha h&d bn asked to p'oposa. Mr. JoRN BRIGHT, who was received with pro. longed chuMS, roee to respond to the tOl.loBt. Re aaia Sir W. Harcourt h&d begun by saying Etsny present would aok how ha oai<ne to be there that ni¡;;ht. This w&a a etftte. ment ho (Mr. Bright) cc.uid not make aa they all know he w&a there as chairman of tha New Liberal Club, a position of which, together with hie' connection with Birmingham, he waa prond. They were told that the club waa for tha epre&d cf interoouree among tha Liberia ot the Birm'irght.M diatrict, and the quaatioa tar wocid it make itself worthy of the suppoit </f who were to join it LovJ¡ing, baok over the last 50 yo&rs of tb'a history of thia country and tow&rda tba expeot!lottOns of future years, to eeked them to put to the qury 'whether it: was not worth whila to join thL ciub. Thty knew from the retrospect tha.t tha were now bedf the popuhtion of tba coMBtry, ssd thai: &t ths beginning of tha century ":his eotdd cot be said; that Sfty yeara ago cRths were a.1:ed from v.'hich cCiuld Rot taka, while st tha ti.na they were constantly insured and revUed. It only by eSorta cf the Liberal party thQ, thi-t "9.8 withdrawn, and that tk-a Bc.ma.ii (;ab.()Üc¡¡ bad obiaitied their emaLonstiGu. Fjrmeiiy the people could not ohcoMo their o.vn borough IDagisLlattJ8, and the liMnsiag systam was aL o a matter cf abuse; but thingij had besa refcrmed by the action of the Liberal, who had at60 brought about the abolition of tha new..papor stamp and the establishment of th&t immenaa boon, tl-o penny poet. Ho had euheonbt.d to a in Birmingham to S:r Row. I&cd hL11, whoso memory ha venetated, but he thought if ha ha.d postponed Me di'covpry till he (Mr. Bright) w.3,a removed ftom thM esrtbiy scece, he should have been bp?eSt?d by t.h&t postponement. (Laughter.) Comir'g to the time of Sir jHobe, Pe'?i, he oaih-i attecticn to the fa.ct thut tha.t ata.tew. had fcEEd a deceit, and tLt he had .uHmmeuced a remedy by reforming the ta.riff. Tna clomout be bpg5.s to do thie: all t:o,;ta of obst!\()le. W0r.ù thrown in his way by hia own party. In 1815 aud 1816 the pctato famine Gcocrred is and Sir R. Peel propoFed to abolish the corn laws. A crnll portion of the Tory party femamed true tu their lCÚderJ bot the grest majority revolted, and tha I present Prime Minister was the leads? of the i'. cuircotioR øga5Dat the man who offered freedom \;0 tbo industry, anf' food to tha copboi.\dlJ, of tLa people. Tbia was not that Mr. Disraeli did not unQeretand the subject, but that he hoped, by tba ht;!p t.t thoBe who went with him, to advance his elaAm to Botcriety and power. (Haar, he?.r.) thQ repeal of the Corn Lawa, the eu?ardcty,whMh n?sde sugar four times as dear as it waa now, fell; and there also cama the abolition of the dubie3 en timber and ships. Those things were, however. opposed by the Tories, who were not only wrong but cruel to the laet d< arreo. Then came tho question of the paper duties, and when the House of CommoBa had repe&Ied them, ao as to enabie the nrsatioa cf the present admirable p!'s?6', the Bouse of Lo'da, nnder pretence th&t they C)1j,Id cosrpnt the nnanoial arra!jgf<menta cf Mr. Gla.ct. Btoae, rejected the Bill, and for a time ccaticusd the t&x. Another question often discussed on that' platfo:m was the ballot. They had seeu v/hat had happened at She6ietd—(eheerti) ha.d read cf the intenBe excitement croatoj by that contet-t. It bad, however, been conducted tran- quilly, although on a former occasion some 6?e, six, or Eeven tivos had been lj6t duriRg a E:imilr etruKgIo; tvl'i.'a iH lr<-hmd, where every ooaaty election wa.a at one time the cause of a so' of lucai oivil w&r, a.ad where the mmta.ry and poUce v/er!' ccuatautly m requisition, th? eleotioas amce the h&d ¡¡¡¡agcd cif in tLe mansdr.

Way, when a Bill was brought in by L.Kd and Mr. Giadetonofor & .C7 f) .Bcbi&e, the dodaMd th&t such a frM.cMso woald throw so much power into tho hcsds cf the wording c!a6S that they would i'wamp tbc reef cf the CMnmur.ity and afterwards, wbcp they cance n'-to oitioe, they brought in a Bill so absurd that it waa dset! oyed by the general laugh !'ais&d ag&inat it:, and it was only tt:a!: the present Prime Minister and bia friends might remain in otEce for 6 or 12 mcntbs longer, with the ch&nce cf what might turn up at the coming election, that they had consented to the household franchise. But evam thia they had accompanied by a condition—the peison&l payment of rataa-which, when Mr. Gladstone's Government cama itito of&CQ waa immediately removed. Well, he aeked his hetrere, did they mot thick they were bett.er off by the successive legislation he had thus describad? (Cheers.) He would also aak did they remember K single occasion on which the Toiy party had origina "od or promoted any political movempnt out cf dccra in favour of eitLer of these good things, or of othtra be had not spoken of ? (Hear, hea.r.) Let them suppose for a moment thi.1ot thlJY wore the Conservative Cbb, and one of the Tory Ministers was addressing them. Of ooarae they knew as well as anybody how to that white wsa black, cr black white, and ha remembered telling Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commona that when in any of hia speeches he required an histcnca.1 he made his history aa he went along-(laughter)—that he did not get it out of books or authentic records, but from hie own inner oonaoiouBnosa. (Laughter.) In fact, ho reminded him of what waa done by an insect they were all familiar with (the ppider), which waa said to spin from the raw material inside the yarn which it made in order to eecMe its prey. The Prime Minister had spun yarns, and hd caught a great many Siea, and, ao far as he (Mr. Bright) fcucd, the niex eeemed rather to like n, This waa a proof and evidence of the swollen eminence to which the Prime Minister had at. ta.iBed. With regard to the Foreign Secretary he (Mr. Bright) had nothing to with this exception, that there waa a pamful inexactitude in the statements he ooca. eiosnUy made. As to the Ch90nceltor. of the Exchequer, he thought most persona would ba forced to admit that in the majority of hia financial explanations there waa much more to wonder at than to admire. (Laaghkr.) Now, if those gentlemen were preae'nt, they would pi-o- bab'y say that they know nothing of the CoB 6 er votive or Tory party of 50 years 3,?o. No doubt they would take credit for the greatness of the Btitieh Empire upon which the sun naver sot, and in consequence exposed '1fØ at all pcinta to th'< dange? of war. They woald no doubt refer to glOiY, but not in the aame wny that Lord Derby recently did, when he spoke of the gunpowder and glory br'mess—(laughter)— RBd however mach steeped in blood they would CBceavour to persuade tho andieuoa that the loEB of Hfe which had oc;uMod. though it was to bo regretted, woa tally oom- p3M&tea. by the national glcry It brought on them and on the Crown under winch they lived. Turning to tmocher matter, the Prime Minister had aaid that wagea, especially of agricultural labourers, ?.????? there WM no eymptomofdialo?yo*disco.t3nt in the country.

ALTERATION OF HUMS. The PRESIDENT said noticea of motion had been ghsn in reference to certain rcleg of trie society. '1 he nrat was That the following worda be added to rule 1, viz., And &ny aubaodbar deeirons of withdrawing from the aooiety ahall give notice cf such intention to the aeotetary not later than the 30th uf September in each year, and -pay the subscription for the year then current.' There should be some date after which a eub- scribef should not withdraw.and that date should be at least three months before the end of the year. He moved that the rala be altered in ao. cordance with the motion. Mr. GARSED aaid it would bo well to explain that if the motion were carried it would neoeaai. tate the striking out of a portion of rule 10, which stated that "Members desirous of discon- tinuing th<.h subscriptions muat notify the same in writing to the secretary, and pay their subscrip- tions for the current year." The PRESIDENT stated that he h;id given notice fez the alteration cf Rule 10, which dtd not specify any ticae by which notice should be given. Mr. W. LLEWELLYN aekod if it could not be added to Rule 10 that members deainng to dis- continue their subscriptions must notify the same to the secretary on or before a certain date. The PRESIDENT said that it would b9 bettor to make the addition &t the piMe where the amount of subscription was specified. Dr. EvANS seconded the motion, which wM carried unanimously.

Th« expenditure muat iEorease every year, but when the show was held in Cowbriciga the s'Ji)it, ccctd not increase the receipts very much, bsoauae the town was not convenieut to the lerge oeatfea of the pop elation. The railway communication was very ireffifient, as had been proved that day by a number of gentlemen beicg landed at Llan- tneant, and being unable to proceed farther in the direction of Cowbiidge. The loaaea by the triennial show at Cowbridge were so great that the committee had recommended that some course be adopted, if possible, to prevent the recurrence ,? ?c? teEuIts. The object of hia motion wa< that the county bo divided into distriote, in th* e way that the Royal Agricultural Society divided England into sevMi districts and visited them alternately. He proposed that the county be divided into four diatricts, and although he did cot intend to propose what those diatriota should be, it appeared to him that the following division would be the most practicable:—Eastern district, Cardtn; Northern district. Merthyr, Fontypridd, Aberdare, and the mineral country north of LIantrisant; Western division to in- lude Swansea and Nfath, and the centra ivision would be the Bridgend and Cowbridge Union, including two considerable towne, Bridgend and Cowbridge. I'hat appeared to hit* to be the moat reasonable division, if thit) ware carried cut, the society would have to visit eMh di&trict every fourth year. Another question wa" affected, viz., the guarantee fund. The Royat Agricultural Society selected the place which pro- vided the beet accommodation &nd was at the esme time a centre of p&pulation. They (the General Glamcrqajiebire Agiiocitnral Hooiety) Ctjuld only held their show with prosperity ie certain populous places. In the Eastern district they would be umited to Cardiff or its vicinity, because it was the only placa where they oouid held the show with the certainty of having large attendance. They ha.d instated upon tt p.iitirr;.]Dtce fund for several years past, and M.r. Vivian stated at Swansea that it waa a sum of mcrey taiken from that pla(;e to be expanded elsewhere. He cid sot then rgree with Mr. Vivify but he had since c.;mo to a (iifferent canoluaion: Re was inclined 10 think that Mr. Vivian w&a nKht, and that they were exacting a. penalty at B0!re pittcea to pay for the losses incurred ftt others They could rely upon Cardiff, and he did n<jt thiir k theysBODia imposa & fliae up-r, that town.
