THE TAFF VALE WORKMEN AND THE SHORT TIME MOVEMENT. A meeting of the enginemen, firemen, guards, and breaksmen employed on the Taff Vale Railway, was held yesterday at the Glove and Shears Inn, Duke- street, to receive the report of the deputation appointed on February 3rd to wait upon Mr. Fisher. About 150 men were present, including train men from Aberdare, Treherbert, and other stations, and a few representa- tives of the Rhymney and Great Western workmen. The deputation reported the result of their interview with Mr. Fisher. They were four, and having first seen Mr. Page, who treated them very courteously, and gave them some very good advice, they went to Mr. Fisher, and told him respectfully what they had come for. They showed him a statement that other lines were working ten hours a day, and he disputed it. They showed him the circular of the Great Western Company, issued in 1867, and he would not admit that as proof; but he said that if they could show him in print, or give him any good authority to show that any other local road, training with coal like the Taff Vale, was working ten hours a day, he was prepared to say he would give the Taff workmen ten hours a day also but at that time he could not have anything to do with it. They asked him what they might expect in the future. He said, "If the ten hours' becomes general, you shall have your ten hours without a memorial." That they took as their answer, and after some more conversation on that matter, they came to the conclusion that they would defer the matter for a month, and at the end of that time see Mr. Fisher again. The deputation also called Mr. Fisher's atten- tion to several other grievances, which he said should be remedied; and he informed them that after the fol- lowing week the train men would all come under his charge, and there would be no fines but those he passed. With regard to the ten hours a day, which was said to prevail upon other lines notably, the London, Brighton, and South Coast, and the North-Eastern railways-Mr. Fisher told the deputation that the companies were practising a deception upon the public. They promised ten hours, but so arranged matters that the men must go on working or leave work at some distant station and find their way home as they could. Another point they spoke about was the pilot men. They told Mr. Fisher that the Newbridge pilot men could be reckoned as main line men, and ought not to be classed as yard men. Mr. Fisher said he would give that matter his atten- tion. This was the substance of the report made to the meeting by the deputation. A discussion then followed upon the short time movement. One of the leading members of the deputation urged the meeting to let every other grievance drop until they had got the day of ten hours granted (hear, hear). Mr. Fisher said they had told the public, through the press, that men upon the Taff Vale worked fourteen or sixteen hours a day; but had not stated that the same men had shed" days," and had time off. He did not think that altered the question about the long hours but Mr. Fisher would not argue the question (laughter). Mr. Poole, the chairman of the company, said they did not pay a premium to become drivers. They did pay a premium of many years' ser- vice in humble capacities on low wages before they rose to be drivers-14 years be reckoned it took to reach that post (hear, hear). Mr. Poole made a great mistake there but they were all liable to make mistakes, and they must forgive them and forget them. They had not the privileges of other classes of labour they had no meal times. He had been four days off that week, and had not seen his family during that time-one of his chil- dren he had not seen at all until that morning (laughter). They had not the comforts of home, nor had they hours of leisure, and they had constant responsibility and anxiety, and he thought they had greater claims, there- fore, for shorter hours, than in any trade, and he hoped they would get what they were now trying for (hear, hear). Whatever you do," the speaker continued never dream of a strike. Let us work for what we want fairly and honestly (cheers). It is better to spend five or six months waiting until our object is gained, than be idle for two months' on strike. There may be some young man here with only a pack in his house to put on his back and be off when he likes; but others cannot be off. I am married and have a family, and so have a good many others. Do not let us strike. Let us bind together and be firm; but avoid a strike" (cheers). A memorial, which had been drawn up for presen- tation to the Board of Directors, was read. Its prayer was that ten hours a day should constitute a day's work, and sixty hours a week, or six days overtime to; be paid for at the rate of eight hours a day. It was suggested that they should substitute ten hours instead of eight hours for the overtime-day. Several of the men strongly urged that the memorial should be unaltered, and that they should ask for eight hours. After all, they could only consent to take less but if they asked for ten, perhaps the Directors would want them to take twelve. J Keep to the eight hours," said another work- man. Make overtime as expensive as you can, so that the company will do its best to get rid of it (laughter and cheers). The meeting appeared to be of the opinion of the last speaker, and it was agreed that the memorial should remain in its present form. A vote of thanks was very cordially passed to Mr. George Fisher for the courteous and friendly way in which he received the deputation, and the same work- men who formed the deputation were requested to act again, and to seek another interview with Mr. Fisher in a month, to present and support the memorial.

ABERDARE. THE LATE MISS DAVIES—The funeral of Miss Davies, of the West of England Bank, took place on Saturday. Her remains were taken to Cefn cemetery. The funeral was strictly private. THE CABINET MAKERS AND THE NINE HOURS MOVE- MENT.—We are informed that Mr. Eslick, cabinet-maker, has without solicitation, adopted the nine hours move- ment, and on Saturday last he made an advance of ten per cent, in the wages of all the men in his employ. MINISTER AND CONGREGATION.—The Abernant congre- gation of Baptists assembled in the chapel in large num- bers on Friday night to pay a mark of respect to their minister, the Rev. J. F. Davies. In the course of the evening a very eulogistic address to Mr. Davies was read and presented to him. It was beautifully written on silk and elegantly framed. As a more substantial mark of good will there was presented to him a fine gold watch and chain value £ 20, by Mr. Evan Evans, in the name of the congregation. Mr. Davies replied in a suitable and touching speech. Addresses were delivered by the Revs. J Llovd (chairman), T. Humphreys, D. R. Jenkins, T. A. Pryce, T. John, W. Samuel, T. Mathier, and C. Griffiths.' In the course of the evening the proceedings were nicely varied and enlivened by a selection of music. The meeting was a very pleasing one, and was concluded by a vote of thanks to the chairman- .1

MONEY MARKET.—SATURDAY. The Consol settlement took place to-day, and the price is about -J better for the week, the rise being represented by the accrued interest for the month to the next account. The feature in the American market has been the rise of 41 in Erie railway shares on the report that Jay Gould and the remainder of the Erie Ring would give place to a powerful and influential administration before the close of the present month. A sounder condition of the Home railway market was revealed as the settlement this week progressed, and this feature, together with light charges for continuing specu- lative operations to the next account, gave an upward impetus to values, but it has hardly been held in many cases. The chief changes are a rise of 3 in Lancashire and Yorkshire, of 2^- in Midland and North British, of 2 in Metropolitan and Rhymney, of 1 in Great Western and Nerth-Western, &c. In the Foreign market, although the business has been very limited, the tendency has been good, with the ex- ception of French National Five per cent. and Spanish. The former fell nearly 1 per cent.

DAVID,—Sir,—You ask me "my candid opinion of the I EliLs Howe' Machine." To that question there can be but one reply from any practical worker or mechanic-I know the working and mechanical qualities of about 12 machines, but I must confess, that for all purposes in one machine, ease in working, accuracy of stitch and durability, it surpasses all others. All who have bought the I Elias Howe' on my advice are thoroughly satisfied.—I remain, yours truly, W. B. BLISS. From the STANDARD, November 3rd, 1869. "CONTEST BETWEEN SEWING MACHINES.—An interesting trial of sewing machines lately took place at London, Canada, in the pre- sence of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. The result was given in a despatch to the London house of Elias Howe, 64, Regent. street, by Mr. L. C. Mendon, the manager in Canada. It appears that that house received the first. prize at the provincial Exhibition for family and manufacturing machines.

In common colds and influenza the Pills, taken internally, and the Ointment rubbed over the chest and throat, are exceedingly efficacious. When influenza is epidemic, this treatment is the easiest, safest, and surest. Holloway's Piils purify the blood, remove all obstacles to its free circulation through the lungs, relieve the over-gorged air tubes, and render respiration free, without reducing the strength, irritating the nerves, or depressing the spirits; such are the ready means of escaping from suffering when afflicted with colds, coughs, bron- chitis, and other chest complaints, by which the health of so many is seriously and permanently injured in most countries. 553 WORMS are the cause of nine-tenths of the diseases of children therefore it is very important that every parent should seek the right remedy for their expulsion, and that remedy is undoubtedly found in "Williams's Pontardawe Worm Lozenges," which have stood the test for the last twenty years, and are now more popular than ever. See that the words Williams's Worm Lozenges," are engraved on the government stamp, without which none are genuine.

The bed of the river Liffey, which emitted a very offensive odour during the recent warm weather, was most satisfactorily disin- fected by Chloralum powder, at the rate of only one pound per 25 square feet. I have found it most efficacious as a purifier of stables, and I use it constantly in my own house. Altogether, I may say of Chloralum that it is a very valuable sanitary agent, and one which is certain to come into general use.-I remain, your obedient servant, Chas. A.

Chloralum in hospital has been used at the Royal Infirmary, Manchester, to destroy the fcetor in cases of open cancer at Middlesex hospital in amputations in small-pox and fever wards generally, as the most pleasant and most active disin- fectant.
