Railways and canals are the subjects of resolutions, one affirming that no Bill wiU be satisfactory which does not afford adequate protection to traders and agriculturists against undue charges for terminals and undue preferences; another that under no circumstances should a lower charge or difference of treatment between different, classes of traders be allowed in favour of the foreigner and to the detriment of Native in- dustry, and that a public trust should be formed for the acquisition and working of waterways, with powers of compulsory purchase of canals now under the control of railway companies.

Swansea Chamber of Commerce. At a meeting of the Swansea Chamber of Com- merce on Friday evening the Secretary reported that the council had been in communication with the Cardiff Chamber with respect to the very misleading circular which had been issued from Cardiff by a firm who had not the courage to sign its name, and which purported to be a compara- tive statement of expenses of a ship docking at Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport. The dock dues in the case of Swansea were in a most disingenuous manner entered at the old rate of Is. 3d. per ton instead of lOd. Since last October there had been no such thing as a Is 3 1. ritte in existence. A reply hud been received that the matter would be comidered. Heeolutions against the continued moncpotyof the Sub-marine Telegraph Company and in fiLvour Qf the adoption of a double thrill its the unit of the new decimal coinage were carried by the chamber.—Messrs. A. P. Steeds, Cotton, and T. E. W, Mason were appointed delegates to the autumnal meeting.

An Abominable Offence at Cardift. At Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday (before Mr. T. W. Lewis, stipendiary, Dr. Paine, and Alderman D. Jones) Joseph Bell, a disreputable-looking man, ago d 42, was charged with attempting to commit an unnatural offence, and with indecently assaulting a boy named Thomas Harvey, aged five years, at Hedge's Shipbuilding Yard on Tuesday evening. Prisoner was detected in the act by two carpenters, who, jumping over the railings, promptly secured him, but not until he had "showed fight" and b^en knocked down by one of the men. file bpy whom lie had attempted to outrage was in a most exhausted condition, and it wag some tin e before he recovered sufficiently to speak. He was black in the fa<;e, his eyes were protruding, and he was foaming at the mouth. The prisoner was given in charge, but on the way to the police-station was most violent. When charged with the offence, prisoner replied "I know nothing about it."—The prisoner was committed to the assizes.

Appalling Catastrophe Off Ilfracombe. A Pleasure Yacht Capsized. Supposed Loss of Fifteen Lives. ILFRACOMBE, FRIDAY. An appalling yachting disaster occurred here this afternoon, resulting, it is feared, in tlie loss of from twelve to firteen lives. The yarht Monarch runs excursions daily in the Bristol Channel, and this afternoon started, as usual, wiihabout 26 passengers and two boatmen. When off the Terr's Walk the boat was struck by a squall and, capsizing, sank immediately. The shrieks and screams of the drowning people were heartrending, and, unfortunately, no aid was near. In eight or ten minutes, however, a number of boats arrived at the spot, and many of the people who were struggling in the water were rescued and brought to the shore. Thove apparently dead were immediately treated by the local medical men and Dr. Watkins and Dr. J. Gray Glover, or London, but out of eight so treated in only two cases was the treatment successful. Up to the present, a number of bodies have not been re- covered. At least 800 persons were assembled on the pi.r awaiting their friends, an,1 the distress among them as the rescuing boats arrived without heir friend-, was indescribable. Tho survivors state that. the boatliook foil over- board, and the helmsman jibbed the boat with the view of picking it up, when the vessel imme- diately filled and sank. The local clergy have been zealous in rendering all tire aid possible to the relatives of the dead, and most of the friends at a distllnee have been apprised of the calamity. Up to nine o'clock to-night the following dead bodies had been recovered:— Mr. Wareh-mi, J.P., St. John's Wood, London. Miss A"h, 111. Bond-streer, London. 1\11', Samuel Walker, ldIl1fln"t()n. Mr. James T. Pinker, Tulla Villa, Bath. Mr. Turner, Lansdowne Viila, Bath. Mi.ss[No. Charles Buckingham, boatman. Miss hlyton, 77, Greenwood-road, Hackney, London. And seven others, whose names are not known up to the present. it is expected that efforts will be made to raise the boat in the morning. A later telegram s,ivs:-Tiio other peop!e missing are Mr. H. Windsor, London Mr. Chamber- lain, Loudon; Mr Lunn-s Burton-on-Trent; Mr. Keyner and Mr. Crx, London. The following have been saved :—Mr. W. Gouah, Mr Johnson, Mr. Baker, London; Air. Tabencr, Hurtou-on-Trenr,; Mr. Evans, London; and Mr. kamson. Boatmen, Customs officials, and police have all rendered efficient service. The excitelllellt in the town is still intense, and the names of several passengers who are supposed to bo lot. have not yet transpired. Amongst the Of the yacht was Mr. T. F. Godlrey, of London, who states that the boat, left the harbour at live minutes past three in charge of two men fit- counted 21 passengers. Tiiey went down Channel all right until off the Tunnels, when they turned to pick up air oar and the boat capsized. Mr. Godfrev was swimming towards the Tunnels, when lie perceived a boat coming. This boat picked him up, and also a. little girl and others, all of whom were saved. Tho, MOIl>;Ich was under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade, anil nut the 11-CILI Ilutijoritv as she was above the tor.naae of IOCMI control. She was previously licensed to carry 35 persons. Ali. Wybert 1'r derick, son of Mr. W. J. Frede- tick, upholsterer, Newport, was on board the yacht Monarch when she capsized. When tidings of the disaster reached N.*w|x>rt Mr. and Mrs. Frdlerick were much alarmed for the safety of their son. 011 Sai ut-kfay morning, however, a tele- yrun arrived stalin2 that he was one of the rescued ones. The utmost exertions were made on Sa'urday to recover the bodies of those who lost their lives in the yachting accident, off tile Torrs, lifracombe, on Friday, but up to the present without success, notwithstanding lle fact that the weather was bf-Aijtiftillv tine. It is feared that the north-we-st current, has taken tha bodies out. of the Channel. Intelligence reached lifracombe on Saturday morning Ihat one person was landed ai, Lee, about three miles from the former place, in an exhausted condition. Inquest and Verdict. The inquest on the bodies recovered was opened on Sit ur,lav afternoon (before Mr. J. K Bn.mehiim, the district coruner). Air. Siiii,-ncis, soli,-Itur, of halli, represented the family uf Mr. U. Turner, one of the deceased. Evidence as to identification having been given, William Rumson, a boat man, was c.ill'-d. He deposed that iie and Charles Buckingham had looked after the pleasure yacht. Monarch, a boat of about ten tons register, fur some time. During the season she used to run trips, when the aveiage number of passengers was 23, but on one ooca-ion she had carried 43 persons, nnd they came hack safely. He had sailed her for five years. 011 Fi idav afternoon the yacht lelt wit b a party numbering about 22 persons, including the crew. The sea was not r"uII, hut the wind was squally. Everything went well until they came i Mbreast of the Tunnels, about liill mile from land, when a puff of wind from the shore put the vessel's gunwale under.- The boat In >ok then slipped over- board. The boat was carrying double reef main- sail and working jib They saw tha squall coming, but had not time to shorten sail. Buckingham then said they would pick up th ■ boat hook, and the yacht, was then put about, when a t-udden t>ust of wind flllm the westward caused the yacht to heel over and fill. Sue immediately sank, and he found himself in the water with the passengers arnunci nlln. r-Je caugm noia or an oar, winch kept him afloat until picked up by the yacht Lorna Doone, about twenty minutes afterwards. By that time several hoats had arrived and picked up some of the persons. He had never met with an accident before. The Monarch was a very staunch boat and could safely carry 25 or more persons. The yacht car tied four tons of iron ballast. In cro*s-examinauon wit ne-s s id lie believed the vessel would have sunk had there been only five persons a bo n d--Thouias F. Godfrey, of Wenlbouine Vi lap, London, one of the passengers, gave -i.iiil;tr evidence, and several other persons having been uxamined as to the rescuing of the survivors, the Coroner summed up. He the disaster appeared to be purely acci- dental, and no blame wus ntl a.cilpd to anyone- _1.J _6.1..1_ _L- inejury una.mmou&i.y ngiceii Wit.ii uiestj reuiarxs, anti returned a rei-clict; Mr. Francis Winsor, of Southport, and Mr. Thomas Smith, of 46, Buckingham Palace-road, London, are among the missing. A subscription list is being raised for the widow and family of Buckingham, the boatman. Accounts by Passengers of the Waverley. Considerable apprehension was felt at Bristol upon the news of the disaster becoming known lest the list of those missing might include the names of any of those who that morning had left for lifracombe by the steamship Waverley, and at the hour when the boat was timed to arriv. on the return journey a large number of persons had congregated on the landing stage, I'assengers nnd officials were eagerly questioned, and a great relief was experienced upon its becoming known that the Waverley did not reach lifracombe until a few minutes after the fatal occurrence. Captain David stated to a representative of the pres that the Waverley arrived at lifracombe shortly before half-pa-t three. He at once noticed several boats putting otf from shore in rapid succession, as though something unusual had happened, and upon landing was informed of the sad calamity which had occurred about ten minutes before his arrival. He firmly believes that if he had been seven or eight minutes earlier he would have been able to rescue most if not all of the unfortunate passengers of the ill-fated yacht. Mr. Moss Levy, who had been on a visit to Ilfra- combe, and who, accompanied by his son, was on the pier awaiting the arrival of the Waverley, also gave the following naviculars "1 had been staying at lifi-acotiibe,and on Friday morning I went wiili my son and two friends for a trip in a yacht similar to the Monarch. It was 'squally,' but the sea was compa'atively smooth. I \\<a on the pier in the ufternoon, watching for the Waverley, when I saw the Monarch put off. It was about three o'clock. She went out under reefed sail. I should say there were about 24 people on board. I saw her pass the Capstan I Parade and go towards the Tunnels ba.rs, ¿nd then, of course, she was hidden from my sight. Directly afterwards—within about five minutes of her leaving slio! e-I was told that she was capsized. I subsequently ascertained that she was sailing round by Wilder's Mouth when a squall of wind took her, and the water went over her gunwale, rushing in with terrible force, and she went down with her mast towards the rocks. There were no boats within ten ntinutes of her, and she sank about a quarter of a mile from 81.0re. A boat from the Tunnels was the first to get to the scene of. the catastrophe, and succeeded in picking up seven or eight of the drowning passengers. The Lorna Doon, I a vacht of similar dimensions to the Monarch. which was on a pleasure trip, also observed the catastrophe, and immediately went to the rescue, and.aved -ne or two of the unfortunate passen gers. I saw ten or eleven persons b; ou-ht ashore, two of whom I observed to be deaa. I heard that others had died.' The Severity of the Squall. The severity of the squall in which the yacht Monarch was capized off lifracombe on Friday afternoon may be judged from the fact that the Cardiff pilot. cutter Bessie was dismasted in the neighbourhood of the scene of the disascer. The Daily News presumes that" a rigid inquiry will be macie into the cause of the calamity, and thus much good it may be hoped will resul'. from it —that it will induce in other watering-places the utmost care in the management of similar excursions."

'J'HKSKCRISTAUY OF THE ADMIRALTY ON NAVAL CONSTRUCTION. Mr. Forwood, Secretary of the Admiralty, at a banquet on Wednesday evening at Liverpool to the Channel Squadron, said the measured mile test in the smooth water of the Thames had been the bane of the naval service. The present Admiralty board harl instituted 9(3 houra sea trial, which would force from the naval constructors more attention to strength of hull, upon which the satis- factory working of the engines depended, for most of tho troubles as to iiiaA;I,iiie.tv arose from too light naval structures.

The Shooting Tragedy at I Pontypridd. h Resumption of the Inquest. Accused before the Magistrates. Charge of Wilful Murder. On Tuesday Mr. H. LI. Grover, deputy-coroner, resumed the inquest upon the body of Morgan Salathiel, who died from a gunshot wound in the hfart on Wednesday night last. Mr. T. Phillips, solicitor, Cardiff, again represented the prisoner Thomas Morgan. Elizabeth Emma Higgins was the first witness called. She said all. was the wife of Thomas Higg~ns, a miner, living in Cnion-street. She knew Thomas Morgan, butcher, and his family. She lived next. door to them. Last Wednesday evening, between six and beven o'clock, Morgan's little girl called her in to Morgan's house. She was sitting outside her own house at. tho time with her husband and two lodgers The witness then went on to say:—When I was on the door of Morgan's house Morgan took hold of me and banged me against the wall. His wife was there. He began beating me, and my screams brought my husband in. I came out and left my husband to him. The lodger (Andrews) went in, and then my husband came out. I was bad in the house and don't remember anything. I am subject to fits. I did not know that the sliot went off even. The Coroner: Had you had any conversation with Morgan's wife ?-I can't sky. What made Morgan do this He insulted me on Friday, and I told him I would tell his wife. His wife, who was then away, came home on the Monday, and this was the second time he had in- sulted ne. I want there on the Wednesday, and she told me that her husband had forbidden her to talk to me or book anything for m." and she I wanted to know I he reason, and I told her. Morgan said something improper, and when I went on Saturday to ask for the bill he again sti-I it. I asked what 1 owed. He said 4.. 4:1. 1 then gave him l., and said I would not pay more for his cheek, and would not. buy anything there a^ain. When I told the wife she said it was not. the first time for her to hear such a thing. I believe Mrs. Morgan wanted me to say it to his lace when I was called in, but nothing was said then. By Mr. Matthews: Later on I saw teeth marks on the arm of the lodger Andrews. By Mr. Phillips: So far its I know, the linle girl may have called me in about the account. I did not tell persons about the insult, as I had pro- mised not to do so if Morgan would not say such a thing again. Mrs. Higsins was subsequently taken away in a fainting condition. Thomas Higgins, husband of the last witness, said that lie went to prisoner's house after his wife called out. He saw Morgan strike his wife with his fist. She afterwards managed to get. out. itnesa continued: Afterwards Morgan struck a blow at me and I struck at him. Thomas Morgan and 1 got struggling with each oilier. We did not get on the gnmnd. Both of our lodgers came. The first I saw was Thomas Williams. Arthur Andrews was the other. My waistcoat broke when Morgan was trying to pull me inside the counter, and I got free and ran out. I did not see the lodgers do anything. Morgan took up the chopper from the block. He did not say any- thing. Morgan did not follow us out of the shop. I was only a couple of minutes in the shop. About fifteen or twenty minutes from the time I went to Morgan's house I heard the shot fired. I went out and saw a man holding the guu in his ha nd. B> Mr. Matthews: I cannot say how long before I the shot. was fired Andrews came back into our house. By tlie Coroner: All he said when lie came in was that ha had been bitten on the arm. By Mr. Phillips: I dor.'t remember on what day my wife told me about the insult, Arthur Andrews, lodger at the house of the last witness, said he went to Higgins's rescue, and neara Moijjan call Tor a knile. Witneqs ititertereaj, and Morgan grasped the chopper, which, after a snuggle, someone took from him Morgan threatened to chop witness's head off. Said he would kill him before he should leave the place, struggled with him, and bit his arm (marks shown). Morgan afterwards called out, I-Fett!li the gun; 1 will blow his btaius out." Witness went out and did not return until after SiUthiel had been shot. Henry Chidzey, mason, Rickard-street, stated that, after the tussie with Andrews Morgan fetched a gun, placed it on his knee and partly opened the spring. Witness then went out. By ttie Morgan did not speak at all. Albert Griffiths, of No. 7, Tower-sireet, Raid h wunt to Morgan's house. Andrews and Morgan were struggling, and A,iit-e.,A. called out. pitifully for help. William Williams (Morgan's ussistani) prevented him separating them, saying, u It is a quarrel; let them have it out." Witness and others ititet-fi-red, tind Morgan cried out, "Where is tile gun V" Witness went out. Afterwards he (witness) saw Roheits (the man had been taken to Cardiff Infirmary) and a strKlIgtl;o holding the barrel of the gun, while Morgan had hold of the stock. Tile counter fell. A few seconds afterwards the gun went off. Someone said. Catch the gun," and witness took hold of the barrel. Morgan stili held the butt, and was about three feet from the door. In a few seconds Morgan let it go, and witness retained it uuttl Inspector Jones arrived, and he trave it to him. He could see Morgan when the guis went off. i hose two men were holding the bitirel wlieii it wtnt. off. He did not see anyone pull ihe trigger. Morgan did not fall with the counter. There was nothing to entangle the Croqs-examined by Mr. Phillips: The fall of the counter was not the weanti of turning the guu towards the door. Eiias Thomas, collier, Graig, who saw a part of the. uffray, said he heard Morgan say he would make the b —: s square now. At that time ibeft were two or three persons trying to pull something frotu Morgan. Witness could not say what it was. He heard the shot, and saw S lathiel run about twenty-four yards. Before he fell witness caught hold of him. Sa.aihitd stood about the middle of the road opposite the doer when the idiot, was fited. By Mr Matthews: It was after Andrews went out that I heard the threats made use of. William .Thomas, collier, Graig, heard the cry Look out" after Andrews was released. Then came the struggle for the gun between Morgan and Roberts. Roberts called for help, and witness and others went to his assistance and grasped the gun. The ccuuter then fell, b.. the men did not fall. He heard the prisoner say he would square the b-s," and the gun wis fired iu two or three seconds. Witness had hold of the gut: when it was tired, but was not struck. John Thomas, Zoar-street, corroborated. Inspector Jones said that about nine minutes past seven on the Wednesday evening, in conse- quence of hearing a report. and seeing the people running, he went towards Thomas Morgan's house. He saw Salathiel, shot, lying in front of his own house, and others who had been injured. Griffiths had the gun. Witness took it, and the right barrel contained an empty cartridge. Smoke came out of the breech. Other cartridges shown him by Police-Sergeant J-nkins wt-re similar, and contained from 280 to 290 shots. Tliv average weight was l'oZ. 170gr. He went to Mor- gan's house, and on going into the back room found him with Sergeant Jenkins. Prisoner came forward and said, Inspector Jones, f tired the gun they were beating me in my own aihop. I did it in self-defence, to clear the shop." Witness. seeing the excited state of the crowd, advised Morgan to go quietly to the station. Morgan went with Sergeant Jenkins. Cross-examined: Did not caution prisoner. I did not then know what the charge would be against him—whether the affair was an accident or not. I sent him to the station as much for safety as anything else. Police-Sergeant Jenkins deposed to apprehend- ing Morgan just its he got through the door of his shop. Morgan said, Whitt could I do but shoot? They were full of my shop. I thought they would kill me." Witness told him lie must, go to the station. Morgan made no reply, but said. Let me go to the back room for a drink." They went, and lie got some ginger beer. Morgan was then taken to the station. Subseqrtently witness for- mally cautioned prisoner, and charged him with shooting Salathiel. M- gan replied, I was not the one wit.) committed the murder. That is the man (pointing to the witness Griffiths). He took the gun from mo before it went oft." Witness afterwards found fifteen cartridges in the desk in prisoner's house. He thought Morgan was per- fectly sober. Mr. Phillips then called as a witness for the defence William Alfred Thomas, who, in the main, corroborated the evidence of the foregoing wit- nesses. He udded that in the scuffl,3 for the gun the counter and scales fell upon it. To the best of witness's belief, the gun went off in the scuffl ?. Morgan's hand was not near the trigger. Witness, after the shot went off, asked Morgan Was that a blank cartridge in itf" Morgan said, "No, lam afraid it was not." At the request of the jury, William Williams (Morgan's issistant) wa.s called He said a crowd entered ti ■. shop after the -uffi-) between Morgan and Andrews. Witness asked tao crowd to go out 11i0 as not to aggravate Morgan he (witness) would soon part them, and he, with others, diki so. When tlie counter and scales fell Morgan lost his grip of the gun. Witness did not hear Morgan threaten or ask for the chopper. The Coroner briefly summed up, and the jury deliberated for nearly two hours and a half. Ata quarter to nine o'clock the doors were again tnrowu open, and the foreman of tho jury (Mr. Cootnbes) stated thnt the verdict was:- We find that Morgan Salathh-I met with his death by a shut fired by Thomas Morgan." Coroner: Do you find there was any provoca- tion ? Foreman That is the verdict. We could coins to no other verdict according to the evidence. Coroner: That means murder. It was then intimated that prisoner would be indicted at the next assizes for tblt wilful murder of Morgan Salathiel. The inquiry was than ooncludt d. Great interest was taken in the inquest through- out the hown, At PontyjpuddPolica-courfcon Wednesday (before the Stipendiary, and Messrs. W. Jones. II, R. Craw- shay, Evan John, W. Morgan, Tynycwiuiner; E. Thomas, and T. P Jenkins, and Dr. Jones; Thomas Morgan was charged with wilful murder. The prisoner was brought in custody from Cardiff, arriving at Pontypridd about eleven o'clock, and was conveyed from the station to the court in a cab. Crowds of people were all along the route, and the greatest excitement was manifested as the cab drove by. Hundreds were gathered at the entrance to the court, but the outside door was shut. À3 soon us the prisoner was brought up he leaned hi# hlta or the front of tho dock, and remained in that position. Mr. Spickett, junr.,) prosecuted, and Mr. T. Phillips, of Cardiff, defended I the prisoner. The ft rot witness called was Jane Evan sister to the poor fellow who was shot. She simply stated that at nine o'clock on Wednesday evening ql,, saw her brother lying dead on a table in her father's house in Union-street. Deceased was eighteen years nld on the 1011i of last January. Mr. Phillips here said: Of course the witnesses are put of court? The Stipendiary (addressing Mr. Phillips): It is not for you to direct the witnesses, You should apply to tha couit, and the couit would direct what should be do,-a. Mr. PI)iliips: I did apply. The Stipendiary No one heard tho application. The next witness was Elizabeth Emma Higgins, who repeated the evidence she. gave before the coroner.

II over the butcher's block, prisoner being under at first, but afterwards he g.'t upon witness and tried to bite his nose. He failed to do this, but bit liii Li-in. Some of tluse present then went behind the counter and pulled Morgan off witness. The Stipendiary said all this evidence was remote, and only Inat(1riltllls serving to show what provocation had taken place, An,t what frame of mind the accused wis in when the shot was fired. 'Ne prisoner was then formally remanded for a week. He was afterwards removed to Cardiff Gaol.

The Trades' Union Congress. Forthcoming Meetings at Swansea, j Probable Order of the Proceedings. The Trades' Union Congress will commence its annual sittings for the first time in the Principality ot Willes at ^Swansea on Monday next. 'I lit,- i iii- p)rtance of this assembly of labour representa- lives has long been beyond (iisi,ute, and every arrangement is being made at Swunsea to leceive the delegates willi a fieat-ly welcome, and to enter- tain thorn with every show of hospitality. The congress was invited to the town at the suggestion of a deputation from the local Trade*' Council by the Swansea Corporal ion.

The Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway. An opportunity was g'ven our Swansea repre- sentative on Wednesday — following on the annual ■ meeting of shareholders last Saturday-—of personally 1 viewing the progress of operations OR the Bhoudda and Swansea Hay Railway and tunnel. The day w .8 line, and the small party, wh'ch was acconifwinied ] by Mr. J. S. Ludlow, secretary, Mr. Yockney- engineer,iic ,madea Very pieasanttoui ofinsoection, Proceeding by the Great Western Railway t.o Port Talbot, they continued the journey by the newly- formed Khondda and Swansea Hay liue to Cyminer, and then for the remaining three miles to Blaengwjnfi, the mouth of the tunnel, again made use of the Great Western Company s line to their great colliery. In tiiis neighfxiurhond it was interesting to observe that the Great Western Company's undartaki&g for the supply of coal to their locomotive* has resulted in the formation of quite a small town. Quite as interesting was the fact that this place has a hostelry, the resources of which were tented before the business of the day commenced. Some of the party then entered the tunnel at the Cynuner end, whilst others climbed over the mountain and hy a walk cf two or three miles obtained the pleasure of a glimpse of the much- coveted Rhondda Valley. The line had since the last half-yearlyjmeeting of the directors been opened for traffic right up to Cyminer, and the tunnel only now remains to be completed to open up commu- nication between Port Talbot und the Rlionddi Valley. The tunnel at this end lias been bored for 1,400 yards, mostly through the soft cliff or shale formation, specimens of which were handed round. Hardly any water has been met with, and the air machinery has now been got into such excellent, working order that the engineers confi- dently anticipate the completion of the undertak- ing, with the exception of the bricking, by about September next. The rate of boring at present is about four yards each day, but with the better application of machinery this progress, ir, is anti- cipated, will be considerably increased. the drills used by ilie application of air were very interest- ing. The air is compressed by means of a pair of horizontal engines, and stored in an iron receptacle, from whence it is passed tnto the workings and applied to the machinery, the exhaust acting as a ventilator. The work seemed to be carried on very vigorously, and the share- holders are in v,ry way satisfied with the cffnrt of the contractor, Mr. %Villi;titi Jones,and his little army of workmen. At the other end, which was viewed by our re. presentative from an altitude of about 1,600ft. above sea level, a most interesting sight and i, remarkably fresh mountain breeze were to be simultaneously enjoyed. The Rhondda mountain nt this point is a sheer descent. At the foot lay Blaenycwm and the upper parr of Treher- bert, whilst winding away from the houses to the toot of the hill was the contractor's railwav, which entered a cutting a little dis- tance from the face of the mountain, and, passing through this, was lost to view in the ground. The mountain is the one which shuts in ttie top of the Rhondda, and it. of course, a very notable and oft-noted object from that side, but to approach the top of it IromthflSwllnsea sidpsind to view the great colliery village from that p »int nf 'vantage, was a novelty of a most decided Uind. The sight was an illustration of a most, forcible and realistic kind of the prospective benefits which must easily accrue to Swansea by this communication, as well as of the practicability of the undertaking.

Rent Reductions in Carmarthen- shire. The Lady Day half-yearly rent audits of the Cawdor and Dynevor Castl" Estate- were con- ducted at Llandilo at the end of last week, when Mr. Moufley, on behalf of Earl Cawdor, e.na Mr. Lewis Bisiicp, on behalf of Lord Dynevor, returned 10 percent, to the agricultural tenants. Gipital dinners were catered to the tenmtsof the former respectively by the Cawdor Arms Hotel and the White Horse Inn, and the latter by the King's Head Inn.

Titougil, the horse was a high-bred and spirited animal. he1 •totted rer-v quietly through Queen-street, which at that time of the day is in one of its most crowded conditions. When near the Taff Vale Riiil way Station, however, the oongestinn of the truffle, which at this point is uccentualed by the junction of the several bus and tramoar routwftab. dered it necessary to pull from the left side of the road, on m hieh the partv was driving, to tlie centro und take to tiie tram line.

THE UiDUSTRIES OF WALES ♦ « ■ ■" J > THS RIGHT OF TRANSLATION IS RKSEETKD. By Charles Wilkins. IIOLIDAY RESORTS OF WALES. ABEREDWtf AND THE LAST PRINCE OF WALES. From Aberedwy to Cefn-y-Beddis historic ground. the compass of the few miles indicated by these Place, Llewelyn, the last Prince of Wale3, closed 8 strange and chequered career. We can suppose °ur wanderers to the Wells to hare arrived thus far. They are at Aberedwy Station, a place so insig- nificant that the trains rarely stop there. The farmer Ilid lailourei- being rightly supposed to have no reason to journey away more than once a week, On market day. Looking up, on the right, the Aberedwy rocks come in view. It is here where the Prince is supposed to have ^mained in concealment, and the courageous •*en point out a cave as the retreat. Let us run rapidly over the career of our last fr'ince. It is one full of interest. Llewelyn ap Griffith was elected (1246) to the Throne of North ales in conjunction with his brother David. The Election of Llewelvn reminded one of the Roman tt'J8, when the Imperial Ruler was qolected ev,iii froln his H vocation at the plough.

Ififf King equipped a Ueet in Ireland to oppose hiui, and this Ltoweiyn 413.4ailed, and showed so much vigour that the Irish fleet remained in the liarbour llulU lie sailed away, "afraid to leave." 4gain, aided by Simon de Montford, he pursued Sir Koger Mortimer and the Lords Marchers, and they were everywhere discomfited. Then came the most eventful point in the Course of his life, and it tnust always be a matter of surprise that our Welsh ministers, in striking home doctrinal truths, have not taken a cogent illustration from this phase of Llewelyn's career. Bow happy was Adam, we can hear the good old divines say until Eve tempted him! So Llewelyn Uotil he lell a victim to the charms of Elinor de Montford. For her the duty he owed to Wales, the love of his land and home and people became secondary, and from the day that she threw the 180ft glamour of love around him, he was not, eepecially in his relations with the English king, Anything like the bold Llewelyn of the past. A more romantic story than the love of Llewelyn Ulld Eiinor cannot be found. Kept in a Fieijch Convent during the troublous times, captured "¡en on her way home by the English, and held In the English Court in a state of gilded captivity Until Llewelvn had sufficiently abased himself, then wedded, the King and Queen attending in Person. This time, from le78 to 1280, was the happiest period of Llewelyn's life. At Aber he lived 11 life of peace and domestic bliss. The mountain Warrior was again the rambler amongst the hills, the thoughtful philosopher, Elinor with him at the fireside, and in all the quiet, social enjoyment of lite The roar of war was heard not,the sound of the horn and hound came fitfully at times instead of the trumpet blast, Had Elinor lived, so might have nded, in flower-clad vassalage, the career of Llewelyn. But it was not to be: she died Then Came to his knowledge the insults, oppression, Breed, cruelty of the English powers. In his Retirement he had not heard this. The lute of love iad stilled the outer roar of the world. Llewelyn was himself ngain. His letter to the ^lchhjshop of Canterbury, wi it ten in Latin, and P''oof equnlly of scholarship and of patriotism, e. the preface to his appeal to arms. Driven OXICC into the fastnesses of the Snowdonian raDge he quickly recovered, and his retaliatory attack on Edward was almost decisive. It secured him the North of Wales, but lie was tempted to units Powys and the south. Hence, with a small armys he left the main forces under his brother David,and made his way towards Radnorshire. Reach- ing Aberedwy, where he appears to have had an estate, once belonging to Mortimer, he gent out letters of invitation to the Welsh nobles, yet the response was a faint-hearted one. His enemies, too, by this time had become aware of his presence near Builth with only a small force, and matured a scheme for his capture. Proceeding from Aberedwy he soon was made aware of the forces against him, and, being only sparsely accompanied he proceeded, so runs the tradition, to the smithy at Aberedwy, and induced the "Gov" to reverse the shoes of his horss. The smith, Madoc Goch Min Miwr ("Red-haired Madoc with the large mouth "), did so, and directly afterwards informed the enemy of the fact. Thus it was that in riding towards Builth he was soon closely pursued, and only escaped by crossing the Wye and burning down the bridge. Arriving at Builth, he went to the Castle and cloimed succour, but was refused, upon which—we still follow the line of tradition—he rode away, calling them traitors, and made his escape to the neighbourhood of Llan-yr-Ynis. Here, wandering, lonely and per- plexed, lie was encountered by the force, and by one of them, Adam Francton, slain. So runs the tradition. The ravine at Cefn-y- Bedd is shown as his last retreat, and the hearth- stone of a wayside farm the place of burin). If there were less of the" h wyl" and more of practical feeling in the nationality of Welshmen the pennies of all Wales would long ago have been collected, and the erection ( f i a memorial would have followed, to which I pilgrims from many lands would come, and eiv a passing thought as well to the memory of their last prince. Hera is something for Builth to start and carry out, and thus enhance its attractions and make it the fuvourite shrine of Wales. What say our thousands of readers? Let them respond and give an impetus to the scheme.

The Proclamation of the National League. The result of the division on Mr. Gladstone's motion against the proclamation of the Irish National League was the rejection of the motion by a majority of 78.
