NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL.I
NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL. An adjourned meeting of the Newport Corporation was held at the:Towll Hall yesterday, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Committee appointed to carry out the negociations with the Great Western Com- pany, with reference to the Thomas-street level cross- ing, and the requisite alterations connected therewith. The Mayor presided, and there were present—Alder- man Homfray, Alderman Townsend, Alderman Davis, Councillors L. A. Homfray, J. W. Jones, W. Jones, B. E. Evans, T. F. Lewis, Fothergill, Stone, S. Batchelor, Murphy, Bolt, Lyne, and Lloyd, with Mr. T. Woollett, town clerk. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The MAYOU said their first business was to receive the report of the Committee appointed to take charge of the matter of the THOMAS-STREET LEVEL CROSSING. Report of the Committee, o)t the subject of negotiations re New Entrance to avoid Thomas-street Crossing. At a meeting of the Committee held at the Council House, on Monday, the 19th day of February, 1872, pre- sent Alderman Harrhy, mayor, in the chair, Alderman Homfray, Mr. Lyne, and Mr. L. A. Homfray, your Committee report that they have since the quarterly meeting, received the following letter from Mr. Saunders. Great Western Railway, London Terminus, Paddington, W 17th Feb., 1872. Dear Sir,—I have laid your letter, of the 8th instant, before my Directors. They would desire to act in harmony with the Town Council of Newport, in reference to the arrangements for getting rid of the Thomas-street level crossing, and if the late Mayor with whom the Chairman negotiated the pre- sent arrangements, or the present Mayor should shortly be coming to town. Sir Daniel Gooch will be happy to consider with them, whether seme modification may not be made which will meet the vieyfs of a'l parties. The Directors have agreed to leave the matter in Sir D. Gooch's hands, with the desire to assist as far as can be reasonably expected of them in carrying out a substantial public improvement. I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, FRED. G. SAUNDERS. Thomas Woollett, Esq. And they recommend that the only basis in which nego- ciations should be continued, is that two-thirds of the entirety of the costs be borne by the Great Western Rail- way Company, and that a reply to this effect be sent to Mr. Saunders. The Town Clerk said he had taken the precaution to consult Messrs. Dyson on the subject, to whom he had given full instructions, and before whom he had laid the matter. He had received a communication from them, stating that the last day for filing a petition was Friday next. Mr. G. W. JONES asked whether Mr. Dyson was not acting on behalf of the Monmouthshire Company in epposition to the Great Western Company in this very matter ? The Town Clerk believed that was the case, but the one did not affect the other. Col. LYNE wished to state that in his opinion the only basis of negotiation should be that originally started by the Corporation, viz., that the Great Western Com- pany contribute two-thirds of the expense, and the Cor- poration only one-third, without any reference to what the total cost may be. Alluding to the letter just read, Mr. Lyne said it was evident the directors had given Sir Daniel Gooch power to settle the matter upon any basis he might think fit. It was very essential that they, as a Corporation, should guard themselves in every possible way and he was of opinion that the only manner in which they could protect themselves was by presenting a petition to Parliament, unless they could make satisfactory arrangements with the Great Western Company. He recommended that they should file a protection petition. The Town Clerk read the form of a petition which he had drawn up. Mr. LEWIS said that at the last quarterly meeting he was about to move a resolution, but in deference to the wishes of some members of the Board, especially as the matter was adjourned, be did not do so. He quite agreed with the spirit of the petition. As regarded the inconveniences of the Thomas-street crossing, no man probably had suffered more from it than he had for a long series of years, from the time the first rail was laid down. But he believed it was the general feeling of the Board that for the present the scheme should be abandoned, owing to the heavy expenses to which the town had lately been subjected, He would move, That the Board abandon for the present the scheme for a new entrance into Newport over the Thomas- street level-crossing, and that the Parliamentary Com- mittee be asked to watch the Great Western Bill in Parliament on behalf of the town. Mr. W. JONES seconded the resolution, and concurred with Mr. Lewis in his remarks as to the enormous ex- pense to which the town would be put. The matter then resolved itself into a general con- versation, and the correspondence and resolutions passed at previous meetings were referred to and read, Mr. L. A. HOMFRAY observing that the resolution now moved did not accord with the previous acts of thp Board. Mr. FOTHERGILL asked whether the committee had any idea what the probable costs of the alterations, purchase, and compensation of property would be. The MAYOR replied that there was no estimate of the costs. Mr. LEWIS, with the consent of Mr. Jones, reluctantly withdrew his motion. In reply to a question from Mr. MURPHY, Mr. L. A. HPMFRAY said he must respectfully decline to give any figures. Mr. BATCHELOR put the matter in a practical form by suggesting, and giving substantial reasons for so doing, that every effort should be made by the committee to meet Sir Daniel Goock, AviVn a view to an amicable arrangement. It was R&OVfed by Mr. FOTHERGILL, and seconded by £ r. MURPHY, and adopted, That it is desirable nego- ciations- should be continued with the G.W.R. Com- pany, and that the committee be authorised to see Sir D. Gooch with a view to make such arrangements as will enable the scheme to be carried out„upon the basis of two thirds of the entire cost being paid by the Great Western Company; and failing this a petition to be pre- sented against the bill." The Water Works Committee reported that they bad had an interview with the directors of the company, and were unable to induce them to give any pledges as to a constant supply of water night and day, or a constant supply for shipping and manufacturing purposes, or of a reduction of charges for houses 80 feet above the works, This was all the business.

--. THE THANKSGIVING DAY.
THE THANKSGIVING DAY. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. Sm, Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to suggest that the 27th inst. should be observed as a general holiday in Cardiff, on the occasion of the Thanksgiving for the recovery from illness of the Prince of Wales. Undoubtedly there will be special services in all our places of worship, and I think it but right that every facility should be given for people to attend but as this cannot be done unless we have a general holiday, I would take the liberty of suggesting to our excellent Mayor the advisability of calling a public meeting to consider the matter. Sincerely trusting that His Worship may ac- quiesce in these few remarks-I am, yours, &c., ——— BILLOTT.

THE RATES IN THE PARISH OF BEDWELLTY. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. SIR,—As an inhabitant of the above parish, I thank you for taking notice of matters which are interesting in this place. Although our parish contains a population of 37,000, very little notice was taken of us by dailies until your valuable paper appeared. There are many questions which are just now interesting to the ratepayers of the above parish. Efforts are made by the friends of economy to examine all parochial expenses. I am a little puzzled by one item in the Blue Book," published by the Bedwellty Union for the half-year end- ing September 29th, 1871, and I ask the authorities of the above Union, by means of your widely circulated paper, for an explanation of that item. In page 4 of the Blue Book referred to, under the head of particulars of common charges," the item of Print- ing Blue Books, &c." is put. The charge opposite to that item is 221 10s. [n the Blue Book of the Bedwellty Union for the half- year ending March 25th, 1871, the charge for Printing Blue Books" is only J312 5s. As the Blue Book for the half-year ending March 25th, 1871, contains the same number of pages as the Blue Book for the half-year ending September 29th, 1871,1 cannot see why the printing of one should cost not far short of double the printing of the other. An answer to my query would oblige all the ratepayers. -Yours, &c., OBSERVER.
THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A…
THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A WOMAN.—HER HUSBAND EXONERATED. The death of Mary Stimpson, under circumstances already narrated in this paper, has been explained to the satisfaction of a coroner's jury; and her husband, who was arrested on suspicion of having caused her death, has been altogether exonerated from suspicion. The coroner's inquiry took place yesterday at the Cardiff Infirmary, before Mr. R. L. Reece, coroner. The first witness called was Mary Stimpson, the wife of William Stimpson, living at Upper Llwynygrant, in the parish of Llanvedw. She said she was the step- mother of the deceased woman. The deceased and her husband came to her house five weeks ago. The hus- band was a soldier, and bad come over from Waterford to Bristol, and thence to Cardiff After being at Llwyn- ygrant a few days, the deceased was taken ill with toothache, and was confined to bed. The toothache was very severe, and gave her great pain, and caused her face to swell to a great extent. Both her eyes be- came closed up, and her forehead was much swollen. The husband went into the town, and got some medicine. She showed signs of getting better, and then was ill again, and her husband went to Dr. Loughor, and got some medicine. She did not improve, and he went again, and among other things he procured for her a sleeping draught. About four hours after the sleeping draught had been administered during the night of the 13th, witness who attended upon the deceased regularly, left the room, leaving the sufferer asleep. She was only away a short time when she heard a fall. She went into the deceased's room, and found that she had fallen out of bed, and was on the floor in a sitting position. The witness got her into bed again, and she did not then appear to be injured by the fall. In the morning deceased complained again. Mr. Thomas, the employer of witness's husband, gave her an order to take the deceased to the infirmary, whither she was taken by her husband in the middle of the day. She (witness) visited deceased at the infirmary on Saturday, and found her in a dreadful state, and unable to speak. She died about fifteen minutes after witness entered. Edward Phillips, a woodman, and a lodger at Llwyn- ygrant, said he remembered, about five weeks ago, the deceased and her husband coming there to see Mr. and Mrs. Stimpson. He remarked, when they came in the afternoon, that deceased appeared wet and weary, having walked in the rain from Cardiff to that place. They had tea and were made comfortable, and next morning deceased appeared to be all right. She after- wards became ill. He heard her fall out of bed, and recollected that the next morning she was removed to the Infirmary. Her husband and her appeared to live on terms of regard, and he never heard of any dis- agreement between them. The deceased was always well cared for while she was at home. There were other witnesses who would have deposed to similar facts, but the Coroner said he thought it unnecessary to call them, as it was evident the case was a simple one. The jury concurred, and the Coro- ner then proceeded to take the medical evidence. Dr. Taylor stated that on his second visit to the Infirmary on Thursday, the 15th inst., at twelve o'clock at noon, his attention was called by the house surgeon to the case of Mary Stimpson, admitted on the previous day. She appeared to be suffering from erysipelas of the forehead and both eyes. The eyelids were enor- mously swollen, and it was with some difficulty he could open them to see the eyes. There was a dis- charge of blood and matter from two small openings at tVra base of the ijos-, and one of these communicated with a sinus leading up to the forehead. Under the skin of the forehead a starred groove was felt, giving one the idea that there was a fracture underneath. The patient was quite insensible, and was so on her admission. The house surgeon informed him that the husband, who brought her, stated that she had been suffering from a toothache and faceache for some days previously, and that the swelling was the result of a cold, and that was all he could learn of the history of the case. Being dissatisfied with the explanation he (Dr, Taylor) asked Dr. Edwards, who was in the Infirmary at the time, to see the case with him, and Dr. Edwards fully concurred with him that it was a proper case for further investigation, and that the police authorities should be communicated with in regard to it. This was accordingly done by the house surgeon. He saw the case again the next day in company with Dr. Paine, the patient being still insensible, and evidently sink- ing. Dr. Paine agreed in the opinion held by himself (the witness) and Dr. Edwards. The poor woman died at three o'clock on Saturday. On Monday at 12 o'clock he made a post-mortem examination on the body forty- six hours after death, Dr. Edwards and Mr. Gregory, the house-surgeon, being present. The body was pretty well nourished but the muscles felt rather soft as if the poor woman had been out of health for some time previously. On removing the scalp a contused dark spot about the size of a florin was observed under the skin of J the left forehead, and on the bone im- mediately beneath this some matter was observed to be welling through a very fine opening in the skull. The whole of the left side of the surface of the brain was covered with matter, underneath the membrane. The surface of the left side and anterior part of both lobes of the brain tissue were broken down. The remainder of the surface of the right lobe of the brain was very much congested. This state of the organ indicated extensive imflammation of several days' standing, and was the cause of death. There was no fracture of the skull discovered. The depression on the forehead be- fore alluded to was a sinus along which the matter and blood escaped from the under surface of the scalp. A fall on of bed would probably produce such an injury, followed by inflammation and a fatal result,, and he attributed the death to the inflammation caused by the fall. The Coroner briefly addressed the jury, who at once returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testi- mony.
MONEY MARKET—MONDAY.
MONEY MARKET—MONDAY. CITY, Tuesday.—The general tone of the Stock Mar- kets was a trifle firmer at the commencement of the busi- ness, more particularly as regards British Railway Stocks. Great Eastern is higher, Great Western, Metropolitan, and South Eastern, 1; to J better. The better price of Erie Railway Shares from New York has raised the quo- tations I per cent, on this side, and Illinois Shares are also to the same extent higher. In the Foreign Market the only movement as yet worthy of notice is a fall of i in French National Five per Cents., the tenor of the ad- vices from the Continent causing a little uneasiness. Ita- lian Stock is g lower. The British Funds are unchanged. In the General Discount Market the minimum rates for short paper are about 2}, but there is not much doing. The supply of money is still very large, and it is still be- lieved that some considerable sums held here on French account, which it has been the intention for some little time past to withdraw, will not be taken at present.

NEWCASTLE-EMLYN.
NEWCASTLE-EMLYN. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION.—This ancient little town has never yet heard the shrill whistle of an engine. To the poetical soul and intense lover of nature, the undis- turbed murmur of the silvery Tivy" has been a happy substitute, but among its business men and the inhabi- tants generally there has for years past existed a desire- deepening year after year-to effect a railway communi. cation with the busy world outside, and secure for New- castle and its vicinity the advantages and privileges of such a condition. Twenty-five years ago a movement was set on foot to connect Carmarthen and Cardigan, call- ing by Newcastle, but though the country then liberally subscribed, the line was brought to a terminus at Llan- dysil. Through the instrumentality of Mr. Tyler, however, another attempt is being made to connect Llandyssil and Newcastle by means of a short line, called the Tivyside Railway and the country, ever alive to its own interests, ever prepared to do all in its power to improve and foster them, has once again subscribed liberally, worked energe- tically, and exhibited a unanimity hardly dreamt of at first by even the most sanguine promoters. The Bill is about being brought before Parliament, and the only ob- stacle at present visible to prevent the successful progress of everything connected with the movement is the reluc- tance of our landed proprietors to let the land on rent- charge, the passing of the Bill being a certainty. We would respectfully urge the desirability of their comply- ing with the reasonable request of the company.
