' GREAT FLOODS IN SOUTH WALES.…
GREAT FLOODS IN SOUTH WALES. GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Owing to the continued fall of rain that has occurred in the Taff, Rhondda, and Ogmore valleys, Glamor- ganshire, the rivers have been flooded to a greater extent than they were even on the 28th of August. From early on Monday morning, crowds of excited people had congregated on the Rhondda bridge at Pontypridd, where the two rivers—the Taff and the Rhondda—meet, to witness the impressive spectacle, and there the force of the mighty volume of water was terrible to behold. From there it could be seen carry- ing away everything like feathers on its bosom, crumb- ling its embankments, overflowing fields, and dashing in its fury against all obstacles. Cellars that bad previously been dry were soon filled with water, houses had to be vacated by their terrified inhabitants the market yard had the appearance of a miniature sea, and the top of the only boarded window of Messrs. Griffiths's establishmemt might have been seen just above the water's edge. The bridge newly erected at the Rhondda road was greatly endangered, as its arch was scarcely large enough for the water to force itself through. The road was greatly damaged, and it was at one time feared that the Taff Vale Railway traffic would have to be suspended, but happily there was no occasion for that. A slope belonging to Mr. Richards, tailor, Hopkinstown, and which was used as a tailor's workshop, was carried away with all its contents, in- eluding a sewing machine, furniture, &c., but through their own indefatigable exertions and those of their friends, the tailois were saved from a watery grave. A quantity of contractor's plant, the property of Mr. D. Thomas, was lost, and a lot of timber belonging to the same gentleman was saved by a sturdy navy, who was lowered into the water by a rope. The machinery at Mr. J. James's factory was submerged, but nothiug was lost. At Davies's Court, the water nearly reached the ceiling of some houses, and the inhabitants were imprisoned upstairs. At Peutre, Rhondda Valley, a. bridge was washed away, and a churchyard 80 tilled with water that only the tops of some of tombs were visible. At Ynysowen, near Merthyr, a child was drowned, and the poor little thing was found at Walnut Tree Bridge, having been carried a distance of about 18 miles. At Bridgend the inundation was very serious, several feet of water being in the principal streets, but we believe that there is not so much damage done as by the recent flood. The brewery was flooded, the asylum surrounded by water, iiiicl the lields and gardens covered by it. Mr, Beha, who had only just completed anew his costly fittings, had them again damaged. The water had affected the gas mains, and the railway trafflj was for some hours suspended. Another account s-iys-The aspect of Bridgend on Tuesday morning was ruinous. The state of affairs was something melancholy. The streets seemed like beds of rivers, and the people were wandering about almost in utter despair. The disaster had followed the other flooding so soon that the misfortune, bad as it was, was over estimated. Nearly every tradesman has sustained a serious loss, and one child is missing. Not much damage has been done at Cardiff. CARDIFF, TUESDAY.—Rainfel! heavily yesterday at Cardiff, and the outskirts of the town are in many places submerged. Canton common is covered with water, and the occupants of houses have to wade knee deep to their dwellings. A gale from W.S.W. sprung up in the afternoon, and continued to blow with in- creasing fury. The streets were deserted and shops partially closed. The roadstead is filled with shipping, a large number of vessels having run in for shelter. The gale outside was reported as terrific. The Penartu lifeboat was kept in readiness, but no serious damage occurred, although several vessels drifted from their anchors. At Maesteg, a milliner's and stationer's shop were filled with nearly two feet of water. At Aberdare, a large sheet of water covered the whole distance from Treaman to Cwmbach. station, but we believe that no serious losses were suffered here.
MR. DILLWYN, M.P., AND THE,…
MR. DILLWYN, M.P., AND THE PERMISSIVE BILL. Some merriment was occasioned at Swansea, when it was announced that Sir Wilfrid Lawson and his supporters intended to hold a meeting at the Music Hall, at which Mr. Dillwyn, M P,, was to preside. Mr. Dillwyn is a plain-speaking man, who calls "a spade a spade," and as be is and always has been against the Permissive Biil, it was expected that there would be a flare up." This meeting was held on Wednesday evening, and Mr. Dillwyn, in his opening remarks, said that he had a great difficulty in the way of his presiding, viz., he o mId not agree with the principles of the Permissive Bill. (Applause.) When he consented to act as chairman he said, being desirous of complying with their wishes, that he would frankly state at the open- ing that be never had and did not yet agree with the j object of the meeting. When there was a demonstra- tion of Good Templars at Swansea in the autumn Capt. Davies accused him of being "shilly-shally" in this matter. Capt. Davies said that he (Mr Dillwyn) wanted to be brought up to the mark. (Laughter.) He (the speaker) did not think that accusation was a fair one. He bad around him friends who would say that there had not been shilly-shallying on tnis point. (Hear, hear.) He had never deceived his constituents with regard to the opinions lie held, and he would tell them plainly that be did not agree with the Permis- sive Bill. (Applause and hisses.) He knew very well when he came to the meeting that he would meet with the disapprobation of many of those present, but he always made a point of speaking the truth when he came before them. (Cheers.) Sir Wilfrid Lawson and other speakers having ad- dressed the mtering, ° Mr T. Davies, who was received with loud cheers, denied the statement whi;:h had been made bv the Chairman. He never in his life said that Mr Dillwyn was acting in a "sha'lly shaliy" manner with this question. He did not koow what the word meant. He did say that he did not think Mr Dillwyn had con- sidered the question, or if he had he weald have voted with Sir Wilfrid Lawson and he said also that if Mr Dillwyn did not support Sir Wilfrid Lawson, he, for one, would be in favour of giving him a few years' holiday at Hcudrevoilan, undisturbed by the labours of Parliament. (Loud applause.) Mr Raper then delivered a long address, and after other speeches had been delivered, the usual vote of thanks were passed, and the meeting terminated.

THE DOLGELLY MURDER.
THE DOLGELLY MURDER. The evidence given at the trial on Wednesday, before Mr. Justice Manisty, W-AS the same as that given at the committal." The theory of the de- fence was that the prisoner was provoked by the woman, and threw a stone at her, thus causing her death. A verdict of guilty was returned, and the Judge sentenced the prisoner to be hanged ajfc Dolgelly.
ICHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST…
I CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR. Mr. Frederick Dimsdale, a solicitor, formerly practising at 3i), Lombard street, and Mr. Charles Burrell Mooro, a gentleman lately residing at Priory Villas, Kingston, were on Wednesday again brought before Alderman Sir Thomas Carden, at the London Mansion House, for examination upon the charge of fraudulently obtaining large sums of money by means of forged leases. Mr. Straight, who was instructed with Mr. Grain to appear in support of the charge on behalf of the Treasury, said that since the last examination information had come to the knowledge of the prosecution which would tend to show that a most enormous system of fraud had been carried out by the de- fendants. It was necessary that further inquiries should be made, and at present it was not con- sidered advisable, in the interests of justice, to go into a detail of the facts that would be brought forward, but he should merely ask that the prisoners should be remanded for another week. Sir R. Carden said he did not see any objection to this cour-e being taken, and the prisoners were accordingly remanded.
AN IRISH CLAIMANT.
AN IRISH CLAIMANT. An identity suit of unusual interest, which has occupied the time of Vice-Chancellor Chatterton and a special jury of the city of Dublin for several days, terminated late on Tuesday. The plaintiff, Catherine Murphy, claimed to be the maternal aunt of the late Alderman Carty, of Drogheda, who diedintestate four or five years ago, leaving property to the value of over" £ 100,000. This estate has since been distributed amongst distant relatives, all of the peasant class, and the majority of whom are deceased. Mrs. Murphy alleged that more than fifty years ago she left Aid. Carty's house to go to America, but being disap- pointed as to the passage there, she proceeded to Australia, over which continent she travelled selling silks and furs. She there married a boot and shoe maker named Murphy, but he died in 1859. In her perambulations she states that she met and knew Arthur Orton at his stall at Wagga Wagga. The defendant's case was that she was an impostor, and that the person she represented I herself to be, Kitty Caffery (her maiden name), died in a House of Industry in Dublin, in the year 1820, being then 54 years of age. In support of this assertion the books of the institution were produced, and these contained entries of Kitty's admission and death, under the remote dates mentioned. Again, the plaintiff stated that on leavirg this country she took £ 60 with her in sovereigns, whereas it was proved that the issue of that coin did not take place for several years afterwards. There were other inconsistencies in her story, and in the result the jury returned a, verdict against her. During the trial three men, each over 90 years of age, and one woman, aged 97, were examined as witnesses.
BLASTING COAL BY COMPRESSED…
BLASTING COAL BY COMPRESSED AIR. A machine for this purpose, invented and patented by Mr. Samuel Marsh, formerly of Not- tingham, was on Monday tested in coal, at the pits of Messrs. Ryland and, Sons, Wigan, with great success. The first cartridge was burst at a pressure of 7500 lbs. to the square inch, regis- tered by a gauge made by Messrs. Bayley, of Sal- ford. That shot fractured the coal. Another cartridge was then inserted and rammed in, as is usual for blasting with powder. That one burst at a pressure of 8250 lbs., and thoroughly loosened the coal, and brought down a large quantity. As far as can be judged, about eight tons were loosened altogether. This second shot blew the ramming out, as well as breaking the coal down successfully. The inventor has just patented a system of using air, to obviate in a great measure the fearful explosions which in- variably occur on a sudden removal of atmosphere from the surface of the earth, which liberates the lighter gases in the mine, and renders a pit little better than a powder magazine for men to work in. It is understood that Mr. Marsh intends to, lay his plans before the Secretary of State, so that the attention of the Government inspectors and mining engineers may be called to deal with this vital matter to colliery owners. The plan he proposes is as simple to deal with as his patent method of blasting by compressed air. The highest pressure at present obtained by this machine is over 12,0001bs. to the square inch, which can be produced in less than three minutes if required. The machine being light, and the pipes not more than half-an-inch external diame- ter, all danger to the two men who work it is re- moved. The only point where danger could arise is in the cartridge in the coal, where the force is required. The question of the use of gunpowder in mines would now appear to have been put at rest, and one grave source of danger ha.s been effectually removed.

Tuesday night's Gazette contains a notification to the effect that Lieutenant-Colonel William G- Dawkins, half pay, late of the Coldstream Guards, is removed from the army, her Majesty having no further occasion for his services." A memorial has been prepared urging Lord Derbv to ratify the Chefoo Convention, which was concluded by Sir Thomas Wade in September, 1876. The memorial has already been signed by a large number of influential persons, represent- ing a shades of political and religious opinion. A SINGULAR PHASE OF WRETCHEDNESS.—At the' meeting of the Preston Board of Guardians, on Tuesday, Mr. Roscoe, relieving officer, reported that he called at a wretched hovel, in Smalley's square, where a woman applied to him for out- relief. He found her abode in a pitiful condition: but, in answer to his inquiries, she said she had a pretty good bed up stairs. He, however, went up to satisfy himself on the point, and not only was there no bed or bedding in the room, but the room was also devoid of every article of furniture. His attention, nevertheless, was drawn to an object in one corner of the room, and upon going up to it he found that it was a little girl, almost naked, and evidently suffering from the most ordinary wants of life. He asked the woman what the girl was doing there, and she replied "that she was being concealed from the school board authorities." The matter was ordered to be looked into. SIXGTTLAR APPLICATION TO REMOVE A BODY.— Dr. Tristram, the Chancellor of London, held th. Consistory Court, on Tuesday, at St. Paul's, when an application was made for the removal from the Catacombs, at Kensal Green Cemetery, to New Zealand, of the remains of Annie Josephine V. Smith, a young lady who had attained the age of 21 when she died in London, in April last. Her mother and other friends had contributed to the building of a church called St. Barnabas, at Dunedin, Otago, and the young lady had selected a spot for her burial, and before her death in London she begged her mother that her remains should be carried thither in case she died. The father gave his consent, but had withdrawn it, and the only mode of removal was to obtain a faculty. The learned Chancellor said he should order the faculty, notwithstanding the objection of the young lady's father, on an affidavit that she died intestate and without property. THE INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.—The Ameri- can papers just received state that a meeting of the National Rifle Association was recently held in New York to decide the question of shooting the next International Rifle Match for the Cen- tennial Trophy. Sir Henry Halford, captain of the British rifle team, was present, and stated that he could not undertake to bring a British team to the United States another year unless the conditions governing the match were altered, so as to exclude all teams representing any single country in Great Britain, and accepting but one team which should be selected by the National Rifle Association of Great Britain. Sir Henry suggested the increase of the distance shot over by substituting 1100 yards for the range at 800 yards. He also thought the match should be shot on neutral ground, and named Wimbledon, which, he remarked, was not used as a practice ground, as Creedmoor was. Unfortunately, he added, the countries of Great Britian would not always pull together, and if the conditions were not changed Scotland and Ireland would continue to send dis- tinct teams to the United States. The principal members of the American team opposed any alte- ration in the conditions already established, and a resolution to that effect was agreed to. Messrs. Hachette and Co. will publish shortly a new illustrated edition of Goethe's "Faust," with fifty illustrations after the cartoons of Alexander Liezen Mayer, and with numerous oraamental wood engravings by Rudolf Sejta.
