Rates are kept up, owing to the ftnuness shewn at the colonial wool sales. Tliert is a large amount of activity displayed in the •engineering, iron, and loc tmonive trades; but the restrictions .'now being placed by the men on systematic overtime are already beginning to *ork mischief, inasrfinch as employers j cannot-see their way to the due fulfilment of existing contracts 'without asking their skilled hand* to assist them in meeting aach pressing engagements.

I do sincerely trust they will see the utility of postponing their arrangements, Inure especially as Lord Bute's name is so mixed up in the matter.

CARMARTHEN SCHOOL BOAGD. To the Editor of tite SOUTU WALES DAILY KEWS. Slit,—During a discvission at our last Board of Guaa- dians, very hard things were said about our School Board by the clergy of the town. It was said that it was a monstrosity, that it was not wanted, that it was a curse. and that it was the bigotry of the School Board that caused it to withhold the payment of fees to denomina- tional schools." Such sayings tend to make a person write sharply but I shall restrain myself for the present, and make only a few remarks. First. It was said that a School Board was not wanted in Carmarthen. I say that it was wanted and my word is as good as that of the opponents; but as insertions on either sid-> will answer no good purpose, I will come to facts and let the reader judge for himself. 1. It was wanted, because only about one-half of the children attended regularly at the schools, and a large number did not attend at all. 2. It was wanted, because there was not enough of school accommodation in the town. And as soon as the Church party scented the coming Board, they opened new schools, and thus took the Board's work into their own hands. 3. It was wanted, in order to have power to compel parents to send their children to school. 4. It was wanted in etedcr to do jus- tice to all parties in the town. As Church folks have plenty of the good things of thig worfci, they were able to open Church schools, and Dissenters could not cope with them, 8." their pockets are not so heavy. Dissen- ters were placed under a disadvantage, and their children were led into other folds. 5. it was wanieci in order to have power to compel all the inhabitants to contri- bute towards the education of the humbler classes. Education is of universal benefit, all, therefore, should pay something towards it. But witliput a School Board hundreds would be mean enough to let education go to the dust, or be supported by the faithful few who are always with tlmr shoulders under every good cause. 6 It was wanted because the unsectarian schools in the town, and the only true National Scliool.,4, were badly supported, and always embarrassed for the want of funds. Second. It nn said that the School Board is A oaiv, the Archdeacon said it was a blessing, but the guardians knew at the time that he spoke ironically, and that he meant a curse. Thus, there was a blessing on the tongue, and a curse in the heart. If it he a curse to do that which is right, and what tends to benefit all alike, then the School Board in Carmarthen is a curse. Third. It was said that it was the bigotry of the School Board that caused it to refuse the payment of fees to Church schools. I say, No the decision of the School Board was sound and rational. If Dissenters had schools in the town in which children were taught to look away from the Church, &c., would Churchmen think it just for them to be compelled to pay fees in the shape of rates to those schools ? Would they like to be called biyots beoause they would not support such schools ? Dissenters know right well that Church schools are managed so as to do Church service. Hence it is that they don't like them. Nor would it be right that the School Board should pay money to parties over which thev have no control. Let Churchmen place their schools under the Board, justice will be done them, and they will have the same treatment as the Board schools now have. -Ypurs.&c., THOS. LEWIS.

THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS." OPINIONS OF OUR CONTEMPORARIES. [FROM THE" STAB OF GWENT.") We congratulate the Proprietors of the South Wales Daily News (Cardiff), on the spirit and enterprise they have shewn as public journalists devoted to the advocacy of these great principles which are identified in history with civil and political progress. On the 1st of July the News, which was started a few months ago as a half-penny paper, appeared in its enlarged form, a full-sized penny dally broad sheet It is evident that great care is bestowed on the editorial and news departments and we feel assured that the paper is destined to make its way as the staunch exponent of Liberal views. At all events the Liberals of South Wales have now an efficient daily oryrji to represent them in the Press. It remains to be seen whether they will be libcrul enough to support it—not with Subsidies, but by means of legitimate advertisements and circulation. [FROM THE "SOUTH WALES PRESS."] We are glad to se- that the South IVales Daily Ntrt.i— the only Liberal morning daily in Wales—is nww enlarged to the full size of a first-class penny newspaper. And a tin-r-class newspaper it is, creditable to the Principality, and capable of doing good service to the Liberal cause, It now devolves on Welsh Liberals worthily to support an .rgan worthy of them, by advertising in its columns and encouraging its wider circulation. They must bear in mind that the greater its resources and the wider its cir- culation, the greater will be its power and the wider its influence as an advocate of Liberal principles. Messrs. j Duncan and Sons have contributed a grave risk as their share in the enterprise it is for the party and the public to justify their confidence and to reward their daring. [FROM THE "MERTHYR TELEGRAPH.] The South Wales Dailti News has appeared this week in a much improved and enlarged form. Since its com- mencement, in a comparatively humble form, it has shown I a vigour, and a power of intellectual resource, that have done it, and the great Liberal party of South Wales, great honour. It is now a full-size daily paper—able, and we believe thoroughly willing to serve the party of progress. May we suggest that this party can best help their own cause by helping, in an honourable way, the commercial interest of their newspaper organ. We do not mean granting pecuniary subsidies. We are quite content to leave that form of help to the Tory press, which cannot exist without it, but the help we refer to is, that Liberals should recommend the South Wales, Daily News as a valuable daily chronicle of passing events, as a well edited and independent journal, and, above all, as one of the best mediums of publicity for trade or other announcements in the Principality. Help of this kind would be honour- able to both sides-to the giver and the recipient. [FROM THE MERTHYR EXPRESS."] The South Wales Dttily News, the Liberal daily paper for South Wales, was enlarged on the 1st inst., and now appears as a large broad-sheet of 28 columns at one penny. There is a corresponding improvement in the intelligence, which is given with greater fullness, and alto- gether it is an excellent paper, which we trust the South Wales Liberals will support by every legitimate means in their power. [FROM THE HAVERFORDWEST AND MILFORD HAVEN TELESRAPH."] We have received the first number of the South Wales Daily News in its enlarged form, and we heartily congratulate the Liberals of South Wales that they now have a daily newspaper worthy of the influential position which the party occupies in the Principality. It remains to be seen whether they will prove Liberal enough to give it adequate support in the shape of in creased circulation and advertisements. [FROM THE GWLADGARWR."] It was a cause of rejoicing to all the Liberals of Gwent and Glamorgan to witness the starting of the South Wales Daily News a short time ago—a daily paper supporting the principles o £ Nonconformity and Liberalism. Before that time there was no daily newspaper in existence in these important districts, except a paper that has made itself famous as the imitator of the Standard, and the opponent of Liwrahsm of all kinds, religious and politi- cal. We felt that the South Wales Daily Neics was under a great disadvantage during the fhfst months of ita exist- ence, on account of the smallness of its size and price. It was the full value of its price, but its in- telligence was too scanty and abridged. Now it affords us the greatest pleasure to observe that the Daily News has raised its price to a penny, and hjv* extended its borders so as to supply the deficiency com- plained of before, and to compete with its Tory contem- porary in the fulness of its local and general news Eveiy Liberal should give his penny regularly every morning for the sake of Liberal principles, if he has no leisure to read the fair, honest, and truly representative newspaper.

THE LIBERATION SOCIETY AND MR. MIALL'S MOTION. At a meeting of the Executive Committee, held since the debate on Mr. Miall's motion, an analysis of the division was submitted, and it appeared that as many as 123 members have either voted or paired for the two motions proposed by Mr. Miall; that the members voting agaiust Mr. Miall have fallen from 381 to 308 that the absentee Liberals have increased from 146 to 172; and that exac'Iy its many Liberals voted this ses- sion for the motion as voted against it. The committee expressed their high appreciation of the ability with whr-li Mr. Miall has brought the question of disesfnt-Ii-hment before Parlia- ment, aud their gratification that the views held by thp, society in r, giml to the right of the State to deal at its oiscretion wir.h the property held by the Established Cbiuvhes have been fully placed before the House of Commons, and Lave not been controverted in that Assembly.

THE WEEKLY* PRESS. THE GENEVA ARBITRATION. It is raid, observes the Saturday Revierr, that American I journalists have the good sense to admit that their Govern- ment has exposed them to a severo rebuff at Geneva. The obnoxious claims might have been withdrawn with more dignity before they were condemned by the informal and unauthorised judgment of the Aibitrators. It is surprising that some able English writers appear 'to be equally dis- satisfied. Their interpretation of the proceedings at Geneva, though it is sanctioned by the high authority of Lord Cairns and of M. John Lemoinne, seems nevertheless to be unsound; the supposed risk of an adverse decision was never incurred M the Arbitrators had expressed a gratuitous opinion that the consequential claims were war- ranted by international law, the English agent would only hare persisted inius refusal to proceed with the litigation until the claims were definitely withdrawn. The Arbitra. tors properly and expressly guarded themselves against the suspicion that they were professing to adjudicate on the teums of the Treafy and the scope of the reference. One English writer complains that the Americans have secured by their diplomatic obstinacy the Supplementary Article which happily proved abortive. There were strong objec- tion.1 to a document in which the abandonment of an iniquitous demand was made a subject of bargain; nor was it desirable that a new American rule of law should be foisted into the international code. If the Senate had not mistaken Lord Granvillo's conciliatory policy for weak- ness. the American Government would have secured a more decorous retreat from its untenable position. It was far more satisfactory that the claims should be withdrawn be- cause they were flagrantly absurd. The fear that the In- direct Claims may be hereafter revived is altogether chi- merical. The American nation is thoroughly ashamed of the sharp practice which has resulted in ignominious fai^nre and neither Mr. Sumner who invented the claims, nor the, President and Seoretary of State who adopted them, will be thought to have earned public gratitude. According to the American contention, which has never been definitc retuacted.tho Indirect Claims were cpvered by the Treaty. It would seem to follow that they are finally extinct, since they have been disavowed by the litigant who advanced them. It is not probable that any English Minister would even discuss the question whether the demands should be revived or submitted to arbitra- tion. The whole controversy is finally terminated. M. THIERS AKD TUB GEIiMAN TRKATY. Tlie Spectator says nobody loves his dentist, and M. Thicrt will not increase his popularity in France by his now Treaty with any. This arrangement was neces- sary, and ita Wnflgbre ia the beneficial to France, bulj they may bring home to the frenota the fact of their defeat with a heart-breaking cogency. The German Chan- collor has allowed no impulse of pity, or generosity, or appreliensiveness of the future to turn him from his stern resolve that Fringe shall be disabled for war, shall be weighted until a '¡ng has become, even in her own eyes. impossible. AH that Germany has a right to ask she takes, and if she surrenders anything, it is on terms which in their hard rigidity, their air of keen distrust, take all of grace away from the apparent concession. Nevertheless, although M. Thiers cannot obtain from this Treaty any increase to his power, we question if it will im any degree diminish it. It is all very well to say, as the Monarchists arc saying, that a monarchy would have obtained better terms than a republic, but there is not a tittle of evidence to justify the assertion. Besides, and this after all is the grand point of the situa- tion, the new treaty renders a general election more instead of less feasible than before, and a general election, is is well understood, would result in the establishment of the definitive Republic so dreaded by the majority. IX. Thiers may shrink from dismissing the Assembly, calling A new one, and asking from it a bill of indemnity legalising hit extra-constitutional act, because that proceeding might approach too closely to a cotip d'etat, and would render it nece«»ary for him first of all to secure the army; but he would not shrink from calling upon the members to dis- solve themselves, and in so calling would occupy an almost unassailable position. We do not believe that the Assembly could survive a week after M. Thiers had told the country that it ought to be renewed, even if he applied no pressure except that public opinion to which r ■] resentatrves, of all men, are naturally most sensitive, and which is quite as strongly folt in France as on this side the Channel, the public voting in the Chamber con- stantly reversing the vote by Ballot. The Assembly, as it etiats. lies in the last resort at the mercy of M, Thiers, and will either be dissolved, or in fear of a dissolution will accede to his demands. THE DUTY OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The Economist can hardly beliesre thfr rumour that is now pretty widely current as to the action of the House of Lords in relation to the optional Ballot. If they insist on their amendment to that affect-m the aforesaid pimour asserts—they will of course defeat the bill, and strike a far severer blow at the popular estimate of the Upper House than any which it is if the power of Radicals or Republicans to strike against them. We will not here go over the old ground which we have gone over so often, as to the absolute fatuity of an optional Ballot, for which, ax it is said, the Lords are anxious to s'iffer martyrdom. Let us remember only that the whole value of the bill, in the eyes of those who have introduced it. depends on the com- plete suppression, in ordinary cases, of the evidence of a man's vote-tbst evidence without which bribery will become a most costly and probably most unremunerative risk, and intimidation nearly hopeless—whereas, if you have the evidence generally accessible, all bribable men will take care ip produce evidence of how they vote, in order to Jåke their vote worth buying, and all timid men will produce evidence that they voted in conformity with the wish of their superiors, in order to guard against the faintest suspicion tlftit any cause for displeasure could have been given. This being premised, what can be more childish than for the Lords to dect to aocept the principle of the bill, and then amend it by sticking wit the only provision for wMth it is really valued by its prMsoters. It is simply childish to say that, because tlie- illitersto voters "afc to have help in filling in their ballot-paper, and the Jows, if the election takes place on a SaturdtW, aie to have like assistance, the principle of the bill is Pilot mippiessiou of the evidence in question. These site exceptions, very carefully guarded by provisions against troachery, to meet admitted grievances, and ex- ceptions which—let Mr. Disraeli say what he will—will never wake up so many as oue-t-wentietli part of the voters, yrob,-«bly not nearly so m:uiy. If there over were a princijde in any bill, that principle, in the present case, is the principle at deliberately simpressing, as completely as^posfible without flagrant injxwfcico to electors who can- not read and yet desire to exercise their political privi- leges, all evidence of how the votes haver been given. If that is sacrificed. everything is, in the eyes of the advo- cates of the Ballot, sacrificed; if that is preserved, the essential element of the measure at least is preserved.

LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE STAGE. Mr. Bealo has given his work on the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum the strange title of Le Drama du VesYive." Her Majesty has been pleased to. signify through Earl Russell her gracious permission that tha Historial Society maj a«-um-? the style and title of the Royal Hiatovioal Society. The Orchestra understands that it iiintendol to give a substantial proof of the high eatimafton in which the late Mr. Andrew Nimmo was held, in tlie shape of some kind of testimonial to h» widow. It may not be amiss to inform our readers that Mr. Nimmo's long connec- tion with music and the drama, although otherwise as satisfactory to himself as to his numerous friends and clients, did not enable him to savo money, or to provide for more thwa passing circumstances. It is sakl that Mr. Mapleson will not give his usual autumn season of opera in London this year. Mdlle.

An important announcement was made by the President of the Royal Academy of Music, the Earl of Dudley, in his speech at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the institution, namely, that the Society of Arts, through Mr. Wren Hoskyns and MT. Cole, C.B-. had offered to con, tribute, on certain conditions, £ 5,000 towards National Scholarships. He also added that another locality than Tcnterden-street should be found for the Academy, Eng- land being now essentially a musical nation.

A Scotch paper says that Mr. Barclay's friends ii Aberdeen resolved to defray his election expenses, but Mr. Barclay declined the offer. John Hewish has been sentenced to death at Castletown, Isle of Man, for murderinghis father at Sulby. The defence set up was that he was not accountable for his actions. His sistel. it was proved, was an inmate of a rnnatic asylum, and Dr. Wise, of Castletown, testified that although the prisoner was not quite an idiot, he belonged to the lowest type of humanity. THE SERIOUS CHARGES OF SCUTTLING AND OVER- I.VSCEANCE.—The remarkable insurance case which lasted the greater parl of the week has just been decided in the Court of Queen's Bench. The action was brought by some mer- chants at Hamburg, on several policies of insurance effected on a ship and cargo bound for a port on the coast of Asiatic Russia opposite Japan, and the defence was that there had been excessive insurance, and that the ship had been scuttled by conspiracy between the captain "and insurers. The plaintiffs claimed to have discovered a new market for European good* in the ports of Eastern Siberia, and asserted that the heavy insurances had been effected in the expectation of profits, as 1,000 per cent. had been realised on tobacco and 500 per cent. on spirits. On the other hand it was contended that these were ex. ceptional instances, and the general rate of profit averaged only 25 per cent. Insurances were effected on ship, cargo, commission, and everything ebethat was insurable to the total amount of £ 80,000. Some insurances were effected in Hamburg and some in London; those in London being divided among four offices. The ship went down suddenly in mid-sea, in 'fine weather, without any apparent cause, the captain and crew escaping in boats. An inquiry was held at Hamburg, but the captain was exonerated from blame, and the insurances were paid. The English underwriters were not satisfied, and resisted payment, and hence the present action. After a prolonged Jpvestigation, and jareful summing up by. the judge, tne jury returned a rerdiot to the effect that the valuations were exceimilfe, though they could not say whether they were fraudulent, wd the vessel was not lost by perils of the seas, though ;hey could not say whether the .loss was intended by the issured. A verdict was therefore entered for the defen- iants. Two other actions in the same case stand for trial it these sittings. There is some talk of founding an Academy of Mufic at Bergamo, to be called the Accadomia Donizetti. Donizetti, we need hardly say, was a Berga<ne-e. A VISIT TO Epps's Cooo.
