DYNAMITE EXPLOSION NEAR CORK.
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION NEAR CORK. The ice house in which a serious dynamite explosion took place on Sunday was being cleared out yesterday, but, as a large quantity of solid masonry has been dislodged, the work will take some time, and until its completion no accurate clue can be had as to the cause of the explosion. In the meantime the oniy one that suggests itself to the police is that the place contained a ,larere quantity of dynamite, probably that stolen some five years ago from Little Island stone qUnrries, a few miles distant, and that it was concealed at Blackrock for illegal purposes. This view is dtrengthened by the fact ihat during the past two winters both the police and the inhabitants of Blackrock have been much alarmed and perplexed by explosions in their neighbourhood, the cause of which they were, however, never able to ascertain. The police now believe they were the result of experiments being made by those who had the dynamite concealed in this ice house.

THE NEWPORT MURDER CASE. "
THE NEWPORT MURDER CASE. PRISONER FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER. SENTENCE OF PENAL SERVITUDE FOR LIFE. At Monmouth Assizes on Saturday (before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge) Thomas Flavin, an Irish- man, who had followed the occupation of a coal hobbler at Newport Docks, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Ellen Flavin, on May 29, at their house, No. 10, Protheroe's-row. Mr. Keith Frith and Mr. Reginald Smith, instructed by Mr. A. À. Newman, town-clerk of Newport, prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; Mr. A. J. David, instructed by Mr. W. Lyndon Moore, Newport, defended. COUNSEL'S OPENING STATEMENT. Mr. Frith, in opening the case for the prosecu- tion remarked that, so far as he could see, the criino which they were about to inquire into was com- mitted under circumstances when there was no legal provocation whatever sufficient to reduce it to the lower level of manslaughter. The prisoner was an Irishman, who fifteen years ago came from the county of Cork to Newport and worked as a hobbler in loading and unloading vessels. Twelve years ago he was married to the unhappy woman whose death formed the subject of the present trial, and by whom he had four children. Proceeding to explain the facts, the learned counsel said on the evening of May 29 the prisoner and his wife left their house, the former to go to a pawnshop and the latter to go to his work. When he returned he did not find his wife at home, and having inquired of his little daughter where his wife was he went out and found her at the pawnshop. He called her out, and they went home together witiiout, as it appeared, any quarrelling on the road, nor even for some time alter they got in the house. But in a few minutes afterwards something was said about a purse and Is. 2d. which was in it. He asked his wife what had become of some money which he had given her.and tools the purse from her. He then knocked her down with his fist, and whilst she was lying helplessly on the grouud he kicked her with urutal violence several times. He kicked her in the private parts, where he must have well known that latal injuries were likely to ensue, where nothing but a providential inter- vention could have prevented fatal injuries from ensuing, and where, as a matter of fact, they did ensue. After relating the circum- stances connected with the alfair, the learned counsel stated that the most salient point which came to light on making the post-mortem exami- nation of the body, and which really brought death about, was a large gaping wound in the interior of the privities. The body was so greatly drained of biood that there was not a teaspoonful left in the whole body. In conclusion, he asked the jury to give their very careful consideration to the case, stating that the only object they had in view was to get at the truth. He then proceeded to call evidence in support. of the charge. THIIJ EVIDENCE. Ann Stacey was sworn, and said she was the wife of Wm. Oliver Stacey, who had lived at No. 8, Protheroe's-row. She kuew prisoner, who lived at No. 10, Protheroe's-row, and she also knew his deceased wife. On the night of Saturday, May 29, sue saw prisoner and his wife between eight nnd half-past. He then parted from his wife and went to work. His wife told witness she was 8oin to redeem some clothes at a pawnshop. About ten o'clock witness heard screams, but at first took no notice of them, us she had heard them on several occasions before. She, however, stood at her door, and heard further screams. Some of the prisoner's children then came out and coinplainod to witness. Sue went to prisoner's house and hold tho kuob of the front door in her hand, but was aliaid to enter. She said to prisoner," Tom, don't kick her any more; you are sober." She then went inside and saw the deceased lying on the floor. She screamed out, Mrs, Stacey, don't leave me, I am murdered." Witness took hold of her head with her hands and supported it off the floor. The deceased also clung to witness's clothes, aud hung fast. Prisoner said, 1 will be hung for you (his wife) if you don't get my clothes from the pawnshop." He was kicking his wife whun witness went in, There was only the light of the fire in the room, and witness thought the kicks were in different parts of the body. She did not take notice wbat prisoner had on his feet. He went out after saying he would be hung for his wife, and returned in aoout three or four minutes. He Was very violent, and after showing witness some money in a purse, which he said was all his wife had, he began kick- ing her again, and witness thought on that occasion it was throo kicks that he gave his wife. Witness had by this time lit a caudle, which she had sent for. Deceased said Be has finished mo at lastbring me II. priest nnd a Jocor, Mia. t¡W"Y." tit:, using a very bad expression, aaid "1 will give priest and doctor," and ho gave her two more kicks. Witness screamed, and prisoner said he would serve her Mia saute if elie interlered. Witness, seeing the deceased was dying, ran tor a policeman, and prisoner loft the bouse Detore witness. After prisoner had kicked his wife he took a large stone in the house and said he would finish her altogether. Witness rushed at him and pushed him out to the street, where he dropped the stone. Witness aaked a woman named Margaret Shurpe to come to her assistance, and together they lifted deceased on to a chair. Prisoner was not there then, but he afterwards came to witness and said, Ann, shall I get a doctor, Ellen is dying." Witness went with Police-Sergeant Evans after prisoner had been arrested for a doctor, but when she returned Mrs. Flavin was dead.—Cross-examined: When witness went into the house deceased was lying partly on her side and partly on her hack, WiLness had been assaulted by the relatives of the prisoner because shu was a witness in the case. Kate Flaviu, aged ten years, a daughter of the prisoner and tho deceased woman, was next called, and aa she could not well bo hoard from the witness-box she was placed 011 a stool alongside his lordship. She deposed that her father roturued to his homo on tho, night in ques- tion about half-paBt eight, U" asked where her mother WftS. and went out looking tor her, Uo re- turned homo with his wife, and witness hoard thetn talking about money. He asked her for money to buy a candle. Her mother took out the purse, and was giving him the money, when he knocked hor down with his tint. When she was on the ground he kicked hor about three or four thuea. Silo screamed, and witness wont to fetch Mrs. Stacey. Her father had elastic side boots on. He sent wit- ness out for some tea and sugar, and when she returned witness saw hor mother bleeding.—Cross- examined I Directly after her father knocked her mother down he kicked her. ho was lying on her side. liofore her father atrucle hor mother they had angry words, but they did not sculflu. Her mother fetched the childvon's clothes from the pawnshop. There was no food in tho house until her father sent tor h, although she saw hor father give her mother money when llo first came home. Und heard her father ask her mother to give up drinking.—By his lordship: Had seen her father Sfrike her mother before that evening, and had seen him knock her down. Margaret Sharpe, the wife of George Sharpo, a sailor, was afterwards called, and said sho lived at King'S'parade. At a little after eleven o'clock Mrs. Stacey came to witness, and she went back with her to Flavin's house. Mrs. Flavin was lying on tho floor on her left side in a pool of blood. She was quite unconscious, and did net speak at all after witness was there. With the assistance of Mrs. Stacey witness put her on the chair, and witness told Mrs. Stacey to fetch a doctor. Mrs. Stacey went, out and left witness there. Police-Constable Paton came in, but went out again to fetch a sergeant. When he went out the prisoner came back to the house, and witness flskellltim to fetch a doctor. He said lIe had no money. Police-Sergeant Evans and Police-Constable Paton then came into the house, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Flavin died. Cross- examined Mrs. Flavin was sitting in the chair about twenty miuur.es before she died. Witness believed that both deceased and prisoner had given up drinking for some time. Police-Constable Johu Paton was next called, and said on the night in question he was called to Flavin's house by Mrs. Stacey. When he got thore he saw the deceased sitting in a chair in a sinking state, with a large pool of blood on the floor. Margaret Sharpe was there, bathing de- ceased's face with water. Witness went out for Police-Sergeant Evans, and when he returned with the sergeant the prisoner was there. Police-Ser- geant Evans asked Irim the reason he had not fetched a doctor, but prisoner made no reply. Police-Sergeant Evans took hitn ill custody, and left witness at the house. Mrs. Flavin died in the arms of Margaret Sharpe at 11.30. Police-Sergeant Evans anu Police-Constable William Kear also gave evidence. Charles Chillington, an assistant at Jacobs's pawnshop at Newport, said he saw the deceased woman at the shop on the night in question, but did not notice that she was the worse for drink. The court then adjourned for luncheon. On re-assembling Mr. Robert Cooke, surgeon, was called to speak to the result of tbe post-mortem examination which he made. Ho found the body of the deceased woman completely drained of blood. There were no external bruises, but he did not expect to find bruises on a body which had been drained of blood. The hemorrhage had been caused from a wound in the private parts, which he considered might have resulted from the kick of a boot similar to that which the prisoner had on at the time.—Cross-examined: If he had not heard anything about kicking, he should have been at a loss to account for the wound. This closed the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Keith Frith then summed up the facts to the jury on behalf of tho Crown. THB DEFENCE. Mr. David afterwards opened the case for the defence. He said that it was not sufficient that there should be proved against the prisoner what was ordinarily termed the act of murder. It was neces- sary for the prosecution to prove, not merely that the woman had died, and that she had died from injuries inflicted by the prisoner at the har. The prosecution should go much further than that. There were two courses which were open to them upon the ovidence which was now before them. The first was to say that the prisoner was guilty of the crime of murder, and the second wa.s they could say that he was not guilty of the crime of murder but of manslaughter. He contended, in concluding his address, that prisoner had no inten- tion either to murder hia wife or to do her any grievous bodily harm. THE JUDGE'S SUMMING UP. His Lordship commenced his summing up to the jury at 4.20 p.m. He first of all dealt with tho legal aspect of the case, and remarked that the law had been laid down by much greater men than himself, and for centuries, in the way which he was about to lay it down to them. The law of England was, and always bad been, that if one man killed another the primafacie view of the law was that be bad murdered the other. That was what the law of England was, and always had been. Of course when the fact of killing was in doubt the fact had to bo proved. But when a person killed another the first blush of the law was that that person had murdered that other person, and it cast upon the defendant —upon the prisoner—in the case of an indictment the duty of reducing that guilt of his from murder to any less degroe, which he might do by evidence. But that was his duty by evidence, because the law presumed that any unlawful killing was an act of murder. That was the law as laid down 150 or 200 years ago. And be, therefore, told the jury as a matter of law —and it was undoubtedly the law of England— that this man murdered the woman, unless he brought her death by some act which the law did not call murder. And, in order to reduce the crime of murder to manslaughter there must be some legal provo- cation which would make the person's blood hot. But what kind of provocation was it that the law insisted upon ? Physical, bodily provocation. There was no question at all that no insult, no mere words, no conduct, however blamable, would justify one man in taking the life of another unless his blood were excited, not by words, not by quarrelling, not by certain conduct, but by physical and corporal violence. There was another point to which he wished to draw the attention of the jury, which was equally plain, and which they should consider well, and that was, if a man brought about the death of another man or woman by an unlawful act the law presumed what was called malice, and it was not necessary that actual malice should be proved. If this woman, therefore, came to her death without any physical provocation, then he was bound to tellethem that the incidents necessary to make out legal murder had been established. As to the greater portion of the facts, there could be no question whatever, and he observed that there was nothing in the evidence of the little girl, who saw the beginning of the attack, which would tend to reduce the charge from murder to manslaughter. Concluding his summing up—which occupied an hour—the learned and noble lord said there were three courses open to them: They might find the prisoner guilty of murder; or, if they thought there was legal provocation, they might reduce the crime to one of manslaughter—though that was a verdict to which he did not invite them—or, if they did not think the woman's death resulted from what the prisoner did, they could acquit him altogether. VERDICT AND SENTENCE. The jury retired for about ten minutes, and returned into court with a verdict of Man- slaughter." His Lordship, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said: You have been found guilty upon the clearest evidence of the crime of manslaughter, and manslaughter is a crime which varies more than any other crime with which criminal courts have to deal. It may be little more than accidental or justifiable homicide it may be little less than wilful murder. In this case the jury, exercising that privilege which the Con- stitution has given them, have ouiy found you guilty of manslaughter, and, in my judgment, unaer circumstances of great brutality. However, your life is saved. You will not lose your life, although you took it from your wife under circumstances of such great brutality that 1 should ill discharge my duty if I did not mark my sense of what is due to the law when it has to be put in force against husbands who destroy thoir wives' lives with so much cruelty and brutality, and I order you to go into penal servitude for the term of your natural life. The court then, at a quarter to six, rose, having been occupied almost the whole day with the case.
-ONMOUTUSTUniC ASSIZES,
-ONMOUTUSTUniC ASSIZES, Tho Summer Aaakea for the County of Mon- mouth wore continued at the Shire-hall, Monmouth, on Saturday, boforo the Lord Chief Justice, who took his seat at 10.30 a.m. THE NEWPORT SCHOOL BOARD FRAUDS.—SENTENCE David Hunter Vernon, who on the previous even- ing had pleaded guilty to a number of foreeriea whilst acting as clerk in the School Board office at Newpoit, was put up for sentence. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said he had taken time to con- sider what punishment he should pass upon the prisoner, and it had occasioned him a great deal of anxiety and a great deal of trouble to know what would be just in his case. The prosecution had stated that they had no desire to press against a fallen man, and he (the judge) felt that whatever sentence lIe might pass tho punishment which prisoner had brought upon himself was more than any lie (lIi lordship) could inflict. But, sail, he had to consider the facts of the case and the general administration of justice. Prisoner had had an excellent education, and he had had the highest testimonials as to charac- ter. He had abused trust—he had abused it with Cleverness, abused it systematically, and abused it to a large extent. It had been stated that prisoner was iii and weak, and with regard to that he (the judge) had ascer- certained that any sentence he passed would be most properly subject to review by the authori- ties at the Home Office, which authorities were in constant communication with the authorities of the gaol, and if he passed a sentence which in its resuJL-lhough not in its intention-ws not a proper one, the Government of the country had — as it ought to have — the power to mitigate any portion of it which was unfair or unjust. He could not pass less than a severe sentence upon him. He abstained from sending him into penal servitude in mercy to him, but he was bound to pass a severe sentence. He would be imprisoned and kept to hard labour on each of the indictments for eighteen calendar months, each of the terms to be concurrent. MONDAY.—(Before the LORD CHIKF JUSTICE.) CLAIM FOU BKNT, &C. PJlID v, HATTON.—This was an action in which Mr. Henry Wynu Pride sought to recover a sum of £95 in respect of half a rOAt of the Cwm House, situate in the parish of Llaurothal, and d660 in respect of damage to furniture.—The defendant, MIs. Isabel Hatton, widow of Mr. Thomas Hatton, claimed £450 in respect of the breach of an agreement.—Mr. Bosanquet, Q.C., and Mr. A. T. Lawrence were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Jclf, Q.C.,and Mr. Howard Smith appeared for defendant.—It appeared that in December, 1879. Mr. Thomas Hatton took Cwm from the piaiuiiff on a fivo lease, covenanting also to keep the furniture and fixtures in good repair and to make good any damage which had been occasioned. Before the lease ex- pired the defendant made an application for cer- tain repairs to be done; and Mr. Oaaley (plaintiff's solicitor) at Monmouth was written to saying, unless the repairs were done in the following spring, defendant would have them done and charge plaintiff with the cost. A Mr. Richards, a builder, was sent to see what repairs were wanted, and he reported that there was nothing needed doing on Mr. Pride's part. In the February follow- ing the family left the house before the tenancy had expired, and when their term was up they paid half a year's rent up to midsummer, leaving the other half-year up to December un- paid. The plaintiff went to see in what state the furniture was left, and found it so much broken and ill-used that nothing could be done with it, and it had to be sold by auction. The present action was, consequently, instituted to recover the half-year's rent and £60 damage to the furniture. In the result a verdict was agreed to, by which the plaintiff obtained JE126 10s. on his claim, and the defendant Was allowed nothing on the counter elaim. CLAIM BY NEWPORT ENGINEERS. RICHARDS AND HOPKINS 11. Cox AND WHEELER.— The plaintiffs, Messrs. Richards and Hopkins, engineers at Newport, were represented by Mr. Jelf, Q.C., and Mr. Ram; Mr. A. T. Lawrence appeared for the defendants, Mr. Cox and Mr. Wheeler, tho joint owners of tho etoam tug Isca, It was explained that the defendants gave an order to the plaintillsto make for them a vertical marine engine for their steam tug, the cost to be £225, and the engine to be ready in six weeks after tho dato of contract, which was signed on September 1, 18S5. A sum of £200 was to be paid when the engine was completed and ready for delivery, and tho balance when it was working in the boat. It was, however, subse- quently represented that there was no hurry in the matter, as Mr. Cox had purchased a boiler at Falmouth, but could not got it sent, as there was a portion of the railway over which it would have to pass not then constructed. The engine was completed on December 24-. It was found, however, that it was too heavy to ba put into the boat with the crane which was proposed to be used, and the machinery had to be taken to pieces. Certain extra charges were involved in consequence of the work thus occasioned, and the action was now brought to recover these charges. Mr. Richards went in the box, but whilst he was giving his evidence the learned counsel had a con- sultation, which resulted in judgment being entered 3d., the amount paid into court, without costs, and subject to certain terms which had been entered upon the briefs and signed on either side. ANOTHER SETTLED ACTION. JAMES and OTHERS V. POWELL.—la this case the learned counsel had a consultation before the case was called on, as the result of which Mr. Jelf, Q.C., intimated that his lordship would not be troubled with the case, as they hud agreed to refer it to the arbitration of a gentleman who had been agreed upon. The court rose at one o'clock, when all the business had been concluded.

GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL…
GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICUL- TURAL SOCIETY. THE CARDIFF MEETING. PRIZE LIST. The only thing about the opening day of the Cardiff Show of the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society that was not a success was the weather, and that was execrable. Officials, visitors, and even the animals themselves suffered in temper and in spirit from the drenching rain, which, setting in about noon, continued with scarcely any intermission until five o'clock in the afternoon, by which time the show-yard, especially that portion of it surrounding the cattle and horse sheds, was in such a hopeless state of mud that those who came to inspect the stock were compelled to make a wide detour and admire at a distance. But, not- withstanding the manifest discomfort of standing about in the wet, a number of hardy visitors, both male and female, put in an appearance, and in the afternoon there was a fairly good atten- dance. But it was impossible to feel any enthusiasm or to work up any excitement. Even the breaking lose of a bull or horse on its way to or from the judges only awakened languid interest. Every- body was too damp and dispirited to care greatly for anything. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Fates will be more propitious to-day, and grant at least a cessation of rain, if they do not send genial sunshine. Mr. Huntley, the secretary, is especially to be sympathised with in the unpropitious weather. This gentleman has been most indefatigable in his devotion to the interests of the society and the show in order to make it a success, and on Tuesday night all that was necessary to ensure success was fine weather. Assisting Mr. Huntley were the fol- lowing officials, who each and all contributed materially to the smooth working of the arrange- ments :— STEWARDS.

The work of judging had several times to be suspended on account of the rain, and those ex- hibits, especially horses in traps, which were put through their trials after the heavy downpour suffered very considerably in the effectiveness of their turn-out from the mud and dirt which dis- figured both horses and traps. But, in spite of these drawbacks, the judges stuck gallantly to their work, and nt the end made awards in every class which were entirely satisfactory, though, of course, only in a relative degree to the unsuccess- ful exhibitors. The judges were :— HORSES, HUNTEKS, HACKS, HARNESS COBB, AND PONIKS.—MRC. H. Williams. iCoatti Court, Cardiff, and Mr Essex Harris, Sc lion, Trefi«arn, K.S.O. AGRICULTURAL.—Mr N. Cooke, Ciievitborne Barton, Tiverton, and Mr Robert Pell, ti, Park-iane, Piccadilly, London. CATTLE.—Herefords: Mr Arthur P Turner, The Leen, Pembridge, and Mr A. Rogers, The R/dd, Kingoou. Shori horns Mr liich ird Strattoii. The DutTryn, New- port, Mon., and Mr Thomas Harris, Mnismore Court, Gloucester. SHKEP AND PIGS.—Mr Robert Game, Aldsworth, Nortiileach, and Mr J. Ji. F'n-ner.Feit.on. Ludlow. IMPLKMKNTS.— Mr J. W. Kimber, Tyfield Wick, Abingdo BUTTER AND CHE SE.—Mr Flint, Cardiff. POULTRY.—Mr J. K. Gunn, Cardiff. SHKEP DOGS AND COLLIES.—Mr W. Williams, Splott, Cardiff. There was a very excellent display of stock with the exception of pigs, which were not numerous or of very great merit. Horses were good in all classes, and thers promises to be some very keen competition for the jumping prizes. The most popular portion of the whola show was that devoted to showing dairy working, butter making, &c. The enclosure where this was carried out was crowded all day, and the skilful manipulation by the assistants was followed with the keenest interest throughout. There are to be further expositions throughout to-day (Thursday;, and they will, no doubt, be equally attractive. The exhibition of dairy produce is small, but some of the specimens of butter and honey and cheese are of very high merit. One noticeable omission in the present show is that the committee have made no arrange- ments for" band. This is greatly to tie regretted. The strains of a good band add considerably to the attractiveness of a show, which at the best can only be of real interest to a small proportion of those who visit it. Doubtless the committee, in deciding to do without a band, considered they were acting wisely, but if they had heard the unfavourable criticisms passed upon their action on Wednesday they would speedily determine that no body of crotchet- mongers should for the future be strong enough to bring about an innovation which has nothing to commend it. Late last night it was determined to supply the omission, and visitors to the show will have the additional attraction of the strains of a good band. The exhibition of implements naturally suffered from the unfavourable weather; but at many of the stands, notably those of Mr. Charles D. Phillips, Mr. H. Yorath, and Messrs. Kyte Bros., there were to be seen a number of useful and novel appliances at work. An interesting feature is contributed at the stand of Messrs: Manschester and Co., of Cardiff, who, in addition to exhibiting a varied assortment of waterproof und india rubber goods, show the process of waterproofing and the manufacture of waterproof clothing. This firm exhibits a large assortment of ladies' and gentlemen's waterproof garments, carriage aprons, fishing stockings and trousers, knapsacks, gaiters, leggings, umbrellas, lawn tennis requisites, cart, and rick covers, and a thousand things besides, all of the best quality and workmanship. They are the only manufacturers of waterproof clothing in Cardiff, ns all their goods are made on the premises. This is a new industry for Cardiff, and in the season this firm employ from 20 to 30 hands They have just patented an improved ladies' cape, which will, no doubt, greatly increase their trade. The well-known finn of Messrs Anderson, Ander- sen, and Anderson have their stand in the main avenue, and exhibit a very large assortment of their specialities. This firm has recently very largely extended its operations and now claims to hold premier rank in its trade, and this claim seems amply borne out by the large number of gold and silver medals which are hung round the stand. In the notice of exhibition which appeared on Wednesday the Cardiff and County 1 Coach Building Companv (Limited) was in- accurately styled The Cardiff Coach Building Company." Ttie former company is exhibiting a large number of vehicles of every description of make. The show was again open on Thursday.
THE PRIZli LIST. I
THE PRIZli LIST. CATTLE. Taken as a whole, the auioials entered in this division were below the average in quality. In many instances the classes were confined to the county of Glamorgan, and this fact tended, in a great measure, to weaken the competition and lead to unsatisfactory exhibits. In Class 2 for the Hereford breed, open to all England, Mr. W. H. Taylor succeeded, without much difficulty, in gaining the first prize with his splendid bull Maidstone," an animal which has taken many prizes aU over the country. This clas was well represented, and included some excellent animals. Shorthorns were only fairly represented. There were a few good animal*, especially those belonging to Lord Bute, Mr. Howell, and Major Tyler, but these were the only exhibits wortuy of note. HEREFORD BREED.

THE DINNER. THE APATHY OF THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF CARDIFF. EMPHATIC STRICTURES. The annual dinner was held at the Royal Hotel on Wednesday. The attendance was very meagre, neither the Mayor nor any official of the corpora- tion putting in an appearance. Colonel Franklen, the High-Sheriff of the county, was in the chair, and he was supported on his right by Mr. J. T. D. Llewelyn. Among the other gentlemen present were:—Rev. D. W. Williams, Messrs. Edwin Price, D. T. Alexander, d, Stevens, C. Williams, Thomas, Cog; Thomas, Boverton Jenkins, Frampton; Moon, Blosse, Spencer, J. Rees, Vaynor; R. Y. Evans, Hussey, Edwards, J. G. Thomas, Treharne, J. Jones, P. Davies, Harry Grover, D. Spencer Williams, and Frederick Williams. Colonel FRANKLEN presided, and proposed the loyal toasts in suitable terms. Colonel Franklen then proposed The Bishop and Clergy, and Ministers of all Denominations." The Rev. D. WILLIAMS (Fairfield) on rising to respond, was very warmly received. He said he did not think that in his memory any bishop of the diocese had done so much good in so short a time as the present prelate. Mr. JENKINS (Llancadle) proposed the toast of The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," and paid a high tribute to the chairman, both as an army man and an agriculturist. The toast was coupled with the name of Major GEOVER, who responded, said events in recent years had conclusively proved that the pluck of the Brbsb army and navy are equal now to what they were at any time. Mr. J. T. D. LLEWELYN, on rising to propose the toast of U The Members of Parliament," received a perfect ovation. He expressed his regret that no member of Parliament had considered it worth while to come and attend the meeting. Because a county which in its five divisions was so mixed up with agriculture some of the members might have come. In the ola days when the county was only represented by two members those members were often present, and were never present without being warmly welcomed by the society. He was sure that Mr. Talbot and Sir Hussey Vivian took a deep interest in the agri- culture of the county. Speaking of Parliament generally, Mr. Llewelyn expressed the fervent hope that the members of both Houses of the Legislature would take an increasing interest in the agriculture of the country. Mr. R. Y. EVASS proposed "The Mayor and Corporation," and. in doing so, said he had looked in the show-yard during the afternoon and round the room, and could see none of them present. He thought, therefere, it should be rather a vote of censure. Mr. A. STEVENS replied, and also expressed his great regret that no members of the corporation had put in an appearance at the show. Mr. J. T. D. LLEWELYN then proposed The Health of the President of the year, the Most Noble the Marquess of Bute." After a graceful tribute to the appropriateness of his lordship's presidency of the society, Mr. Llewelyn remarked upon the splendid show-yard which Lord Bute had placed at the disposal of the society. Speaking about the position of the society, Mr. Llewelyn asked whether they were doing AS much good as they might as a society. He thought steps should be taken to interest the hill farmers, who were struggling and industrious. Then, he thought, the society would be doing good service if thev eliminated certain classes at present appear ng in the catalogue in favour of rrtriaj by which a much larger number of cxhib.tors were likely to be drawn into the society. • Another suggestion was that the society should do all in their power to enlist the sympathy of tb J ladies; and, again, the society would do wel; to increase the attractiveness of the exhibi- tio I, of dairy produce and dairy working by otiering more valuable prizes, because be (Mr. Llewelyn) was convinced that in dairy proauce was to be found the real prospect of making agri- culture successful. In concluding, Mr. Llewelyn asked them to drink the health of Lord Bute with three times three. This was enthusiastically carried out. ColoDel FRANKLEN briefly responded on behalf of the Marquess of Bute. In doing so, Colonel Frauklen said not only had his lordship lent the field without, auy charge, but he had also presented £100 to the funds of the society. The Rev. D. W. WILLIAMS next proposed "Success to the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society.' In doing so he said he had felt bitterly disgusted at the small attendance of agriculturists at the show, and asked why it was. He said it was in the memory of those present that he ha.d always sat down at the agricultural dinner of the society, but he had never seen so few present. Where were the mayor and corporation ? It was pitiful that In a great town like Cardiff they should liave been so shamefully received. He feared unless a change came they would have to alter' their arrangements and combine with two or three other counties, as they had done at Brecon. Mr. D. T. ALEXANDER then proposed, in highly eulogistic terms, The Health of Colonel Franklen, the High Sheriff of Glamorgan." Mr. Alexander also animadverted most strongly on the absence of the mayor and corporation and other officials. It passed comprehension, and they had cast a slur upon themselves by their action which it would take some time to blot out. It was the duty of the mayor and it was the duty of the corporation to have supported the show and their chairman, and their not doing so was greatly to be regretted. In concluding, he suggested that the society them- selves should do more to induce competition, by offering larger prizes and throwing the events open, and then he was certain their attendance and their entries would be trebled and quad- rupled. Colonel FRANKLEN briefly responded, and after- wards proposed "The Health of the Judges," and in doing so paid a high tribute to the character and merit of the awards. Mr. PELL and Mr. MORRIS briefly responded. Mr. HARRIS, another of the judges, said he WitS sorry to say that the show was not improving. He had never bad so many unsound horses in a ring in all his judging experience. Colonel FRANKLEN next proposed "The Health of the Stewards and Secretary," and accorded them a high meed of praise for the assistance they had rendered to the society. Mr. HUNTLEY responded, as also did Mr. REES. Other toasts followed.
NEWPORT FLOWER SHOW.
NEWPORT FLOWER SHOW. The twelfth annual exhibition of flowers, fruit, and vegetables in connection with the Newport and County Horticultural Society was held in King's-hill Field, kindly placed at the disposal of tile committee by Mr. J. E. Waddle. The after- noon was beautifully line, and a great many townspeople and viitor patronised the exhibi- tion. As compared with former years the entries were very strong, aud the show generally was regarded as one ot the best ever held. The various sections were set out in three separate tents at the foot of the rising ground, and just above was placed the band stand which was occupied during the afternoon by the popular band of the Royal Artillery from Woolwich. A splendid pro- gramme ot music was played, and in the evening a graud concert, was given in the Albert-hall. The band of the Caerleon Industrial Schools was also present on the ground and acquitted itself with the utmost credit. In addition to the show of fruit, flowers, there was a bee tent, where manipulations were made with hive bees with a view of showing the new methods of bee culture. The judges were :—Mr. W. Naish. gardener to Mr. James Rankin, M.P,; Mr. James Muir, gardener to Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, M.P.; Mr. James Cypher, Cheltenham and Mr. 11. Wattie, gardener to Mr. T. Cordes, BrynGlas, Newport.

FLOWER SHOW AND EXHIBITION…
FLOWER SHOW AND EXHIBITION AT MERTHYR. On Wednesday the fourth annuitl flower s!1:)w and industrial exhibition, held under the auspices of the Market-square Church Sunday School, came off at the Drill-hall, Merthyr. Owing to the un- propitious nature of the weather the attendance during the afternoon was not so lare as had been anticipated.Besides a large number of special prizes, three were given in each of 75 classes, the entries numbering 553. The show was opened by Mrs. Davies, Bryntirion, in introducing whom Mr. J. P. Biddle stated that it was promoted for the purpose of augmenting the chapel funds, and also of encouraging the young people of t he district in the cultivation of habits of industry, kc.— Wr. C. Henry James proposed a vote cf thanks to Mrs. Davies for her attendance.—This was seconded by Mr. J. M. Berry, who referred with pleasure to the unanimity that existed among the different denominations of town when events of that kind were concerned. He said he hoped that advantage would be taken of this unanimity, and that a bazaar would be held by the united sects in support of the pro- posed general hospital. (Applause.)—The vote was enthusiastically accorded, and Mre. Davies gracefully acknowledged the compliment. The judges were as follow;—Maps and models, Mr. C. Henry James; penmanship, Messrs. Morris, Aberdare; C. Wilson, Merthyr College, and A. Howells, Cefn; needlework, Mrs. H. Martin, Dowlais; Miss Lewis, Tydfil House, and Mrs. Jones, Hafod, Dowlais; freehand draw- ing and water-colour paintings, Mr. G. F. Harris and Mr. H. D. Pearce floral exhibits, Mr. Wilkinson, Aberdare. The needlework was said to be exceptionally meritorious, and the other exhibits were far in advance of those of other years. The hon. secretaries, Messrs. J. P. Biddle and Mr. Ralph James, were most energetic in carrying out the duties of their joint office, while Mr. W. L. Daniel, high-constable (chairman), Mr. E. Stephens, Mr. J. M. Barry, Mr. E. H. Battram, and other members of the committee exerted themselves most devotedly in carrying out the arrangements of the ^fixture. A largo number of the ladies of the Market-square Church also lent valuable aid. The exhibition remains open to- day (Thursday) and Friday.
SWANSEA BANKRUPTCY COURT.
SWANSEA BANKRUPTCY COURT. Re W. F. BCLL.—The adjourned public examtna- i tion of W. F. B ill (Gilbey's wine and spirir agent), of Wind-street, Swansea, and the Mumbles, took pla.ce before the registrar (Mr. Home) at Swansea Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday. In the course of further examination by Mr. W. R Smith the bankrupt stated he had been drawing about £300 a year out of the business above the profits. He was aware of this, but he went on contracting debts hoping things would mend. During the past fifteen months there had been an extraor- dinary falling off in trade. From 1877 to 1883 busiMM increased Since then it had fallen fiat. The business was started a.s an agency for the Gilbeys, but from 1877 he had been treated by that firm as an ordinary customer. He had had a large sum written off" br them, bein unable to pay them. —In answer to Mr. Glascodine, who represented the American Cider Company, he said he received goods from that company to the amount of £97 etdd after filing his petition, and would have sent them back if Mr. Rosser, the official receiver, had not told him to mind his own business.—The examination then closed-ubsequenth" an appli- cation was made to the judge by Mr. Glascodine, on behalf of the American Cider Company, that the trustee should be ordered to pay out, of the estate or his own moneys the sum of £97 12s. the value of the barrels of cider delivered by them to the Official Receiver subsequently to the receiv- ing order.-Affidavits from the representatives of the firm were put in, showing that they knew nothing of the stoppage of payment by the bank- rupt when the cider was despatched.—Mr. Smith contended that the handing over of the bill of lading to the Official Receiver gave him the right to receive the goods, and he had no right to disclaim a benefit of this kind.—Mr. Glascodine argued that the right to the goods in the first instance when vested in the trustee waa the right to receive them only. with the obligation to pay for them, and he could not get rid of that obligation, having so received them. —His Honour said the sole duty of a trustee was to look after the estate. He had received the goods as part of the estate and could not part with them. There was no oblie-ation on bim to pay. The case was a hard one, and he, therefore, made no order as to costs. Be MR, JAKES WALTER'S AGENT. — William Edward Jones, who was next publicly examined, said that until within the last two months he had been estate agent to Mr. James Walter, of Fenian. He carried on simultaneously the business of a tin-plate decorator at Briton Ferry. He had had an interest in eight ships, and had lost about £1.000 by them The tin-works he purchased from Mr. C. A. Purnell for a nominal sum of 10s. The result of the work- ing had not been at all satisfactory, and he kept i them on merely with the object of selling them. He had lost about £2ÛO by them. The money he had put into shipping was his wife's She was sols executrix under the will of her father, bv which she was left £2,300. That amount was now claimed by his wife. He received £130 a year as Mr. Walter's agent, out of which ue had | to find his oliice and travelling expenses. He kept no books. His liabilities were as follow — Unsecured creditors, £2.,186 9s. 6d.; assets, after deducting preference claims, £639 Os, 8d.; defi- 8s. lOd. The first pressure he had felt was a writ from Mr. James Walter for a dishonoured bill—moneys received by him and not handed ovar to his employer.—The Oflicial Receiver pointed out that the works, if sold, would only fetch £3DO; therefore, the debtor had offended against the statute in contracting debts knowing himself to be insolvent.—In cross-examination by Mr. Glascodine (who appeared for Mr. Walter), the debtor said he paid rents received lrom Mr. Walter's property into his own account at the National Bank of Wales, instead of the Glamorgan- shire Bank. That was when the latter bank was pressing him for A debt of £150. He gave an order on a tenant of Mr. Walters to pay the rent then accruing into that bank. Mr. Walter was indignant when he heard of this order, and asked him not to receive the rent in question again. He could not for the moment account for £150 re- ceivod between March and May last. The debtor did not produce tiny books, and as the cross- examination could not be carried on further without them an adjournment took place, and the debtor was ordered to produce the necessary documents. ALLEGED OFFKN'CES By A DEBTOR. — In the ense of Wrilliam Henry Thomas, crocer, Plasmarl, the liabilities were stated at £450 and the assets nil. The debtor sold a business in High-street, and a week after left for London with £60, of which he could only account for £28. Mr. J. R Richards argued that the debtor had obtained goods by false pretences from the Liverpool North Shore Company, had within four months of bankruptcy disposed of certain goods in other than the ordi- nary way of trade, and had transferred part of his property. The examination was adjourned, and the Official Receiver requested to report on the case.

SEVERE TIIUXDERSTQRMS^
SEVERE TIIUXDERSTQRMS^ GREAT DESTRUCTION CF PROPERTY BURSTING OF A SEWER. TWO LIVE.-5 LOST. A severe thunderstorm burst over SouthporC shortly af ter two o'clock on Wednesday. It was nigh water at the time, and consequently tha sewers could not carry away the rainfall. The J principal streets were soon flooded, Lord-street being rendered impassable for over a quarter of a mile. A heavy thunderstorm passed over Liver- pool in the afternoon, and a large amount of damage was done by the deluge of rain, which flooded the basements in the lower parts of the town. In Toxteth Park a number of men were engaged in repairing the sewer, when water descended in such volumes that the sewer burst, One man was carried away by the ilood and drowned, and another was so seriously injured thathedieda few minutes after admission to the hospital. Torrents of rain, with which hail was mingled, fell in the Lake district on Wednesday afternoon, and the storm continued to rage for nearly two hours. For a short time the town of Kendal was plunged into complete darkness.

At Podiey, a village near Leeds, the post-office was struck by lightning and much damaged. At Heywood the residence of Dr. Wiskin and a cottage in Cobden-street were also struck. The roof of Dr. Wiskin's house was smashed, and the chimney of a cottage was split from top to bottom. In many villages in the district many hundreds of acres of meadow land are under water, inflicting great losses all farmers.
HEN HY WARD BEECHER AT CAKDIFF.
HEN HY WARD BEECHER AT CAKDIFF. "TIIE COMMOV PEOPLE." At the Park-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening the Hev. H. Ward Beecher, the eminent American lecturer and divine, delivered a lectui .• to a large and attentive audience on" TheKeign of the Com- I' mon People." The reception accorded to the lec- turer was hearty and at times enthusiastic but the salient points of his address, his asides" anc illustrations, were not appreciated with that spon* taneity which one expects from an intelligent audience. Doubtless, the delivery of the lecturer was not audible all over the house at times, as lie h1.3 an unpleasant habit ot lowering his voice a the end oi a sentence. Stiii, no impatient auditor went so far as to demand the orator to Speak up," as a listener at Exeter-hall did on Monday last, which was, no doubt, owmg to the high respect and esteem in which the audience individually held him. Mr. BEECHER (who was briefly introduced to the audience by the Mayor of Cardiff; commenced by claiming relationship with the Cymric race. "Does anybody know wheLher there is an Ann Roberts in Wales," he inquired, for I want to tind out my ancestors, who was my great grandmother, and although many generations have passed, I feel my blood gives me a right of citizenship morally amongst Welsh folks.' His lecture lasted over an hour and a quarter, and during the whole of that time the lecturer kept his audience spell-bound with interest. His odd interpolations, quaiut Yankeeisms, and illus- trations will be long remembered. He said that 30 years ago he had piedicted that there would be no more warfl in Christendom, that hereafter nations would settle their disputes by arbitration, by international congress, by reason, and not by violence, aad that tnere would bo no more barbaric wars in Christendom. Since that time they had had five of the worst that had been allotted to the human rnce. said the lecturer in mournful accents,"I have done prophesy- ing. There never was so much coal burnt, never wa." so much iron dug, never wasso enormous a capital invested in the manufacture of implements of war than to-day. To-day it makes a great difference what the arms are composed of. It did not in antiquity. It did not make much difference whether a man knew anything or not—if he weighed enough it was a battle of avoirdupois. There never was a time when the army was such a unit as to-day. It is not by juxta position, but by intelligence, that the becomes a. unit. Every solaier knows what is meant by the conflict. Every soldier knows as well as his officer what i& going on—sometimes a good deal better — and what we are in need of most> is an efficient army of intelligent men." One of the most striking passages in the lecture was that referring to the application of money upon the education of the people. "Morrey," said the lecturer, is like powder; it is good for nothing till it goes off." If this nation had £100,000,000 given to it, and had to put it by at 10 per cent. for 35 years, at the end of that time, I tell you she would not have so much actual property in her hands as if she employed it in building schools throughout the ktngdom for when you educate the mechanic you educate all his tools in the whole shop. When you educate the farmer you educate the farm. You went to put your guano on the farmer's head." Another striking passage in the lecture was that wherein, in the early cart of the address, ho referred to the emancipation of women. In times of antiquity, he observed, staves and women were kept pretty near together, and, he added, they were not quite far enough apart yet. Their intelligence, education, and refinement were identified with impropriety; ignorance and modesty and matronbood were associated ideas. Eight through that noble old Jewish Book, the Bible, down until they reached th> Apostle's words about Grecian women, they failed to find any limitations on the position of women and he welcomed the return of the spirit of pre-classic times, when women were attaining to the highest and most influential positions in the la-ud. tJli, even now, while they had no objec- tion to hear a woman lecture in the hall, they would be horrified to see her preach in a church. Mr. Beecher, afu-r an eloquent description of the growth of the new theology—the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood oi man—concluded with [a magnificent peroration, Do you believe there is a God Y That He has providence over human affairs ? That He has from the beginning guided this storm-tossed world ? I do. The hand that has carried this world through all its stages of evolution has its hand on the helm yet, and through darkness and through light, light increas- ing over darkness, He will guide this world till it is anchored in the harbour of the ;iilennium. Trust, hope, end rejoice.

EVIDENCE BY AN EXPERT. • W. de Grey Birch, of the Manuscript Depnrt* M lo °f the British Museum, was called to speak 'be handwriting of the anonymous letters, 1t EVIDENCE BY MR. CRAWFORD'S SOLICITOR. the Stewart, the sohcitor for Mr. Crawford in ] l*Was the next witness called. He stated examined the witness Henry Shanks, who !»g d that he remembered Mrs. Crawford call- Sir Charles Dilke s house on two occasions, \\)11t i6.middle of 1884, and that Sir Charles Dilke 'J111 a lady was coming. The footman Good, "Hr) 0 furnished him with evidence, said Sir t*s ^'Ike on one occasion told hitn a lady was to the house and asked him to show her, 8^le arrived, into the Blue Room. Mrs. 1 k d caTrie as Sir Charles was going out, and > 'th th went back into the house together. w«nt on to state that he was sorry thought two of the anonymous to Mr. Crawford were in the oriting of his (Mr. Stewart's) sister, Mrs. ^ke^00. There was a correction he wished to L^t s'*1 Mrs. Rogerson's evidence. She had stated V lt Charles Dilke was an intimate friend of 'II sj^ther's. He was formerly, but not latterly, Cto became aware of his character. IVew^amined by Sir W. Phillimore: He *til|. lftd to »iy that, despite his sisters denial, he ->0ught two of the anonymous letters were *<t- r,,° by her. He had only indirectly threatened <\rles Dilke with personal castigation on Hn 1 °f bis connection with Mrs. Rogerson. d '8 brother prohibited Sir Charles from uP°n her, and they had good reason for So- It was not connected with hia aister'a honour, but they did not wish the friendship to go on. He was aware that Sir Charles and Lady Dilke were using every device to influence Mrs. Rogerson's evidence. MR. CRAWFORD EXAMINED. Mr. Donald Crawford, who was briefly examined, gave evidence to the effect that Mrs. Crawford, in her confession, told him she had slept two nights out of the house, and on mentioning the matter to Ann Jainieson he was informed that the nights were consecutive. Cross-examined by Sir W. Phillimore: Up to the time of the last anonymous letter he did not suspect Sir. Charles Dilke, but Captain Forster. From the time that his wife confessed to him about Sir Charles Dilke he did not for a moment doubt it was he who had ruined her. She asked him not to make Captain Forster a co-respondent, as she did not want to ruin more men than one. He said he would not if he could help it. Mr. W. de Gray Birch, re-called, said he had examined the two anonymous letters before him, and he had arrived at the conclusion that they were written by Mrs. Rogerson. Mr. Kingscote, son-in-law of Mrs. Rogerson, deposed that he had seen a photograph of the Metropole letter, and in his opinion the address at any rate was written by Mrs. Rogerson. Mr. Matthews intimated that that concluded his case, and the court then adjourned.
