ENCOURAGEMENT 1)P THIRD- CLASS PASSENGER TRAFFIC, I In October last the Lancashire and Yorkshire ¡ Railway Company made an important alteration in their service by allowing third-class travellers to travel by express train. The company have ¡ now published a notification of a further altera- tion, by which Parliamentary fares will be charged ¡ on all trains, and third-class extra fares discon- tinued. This will make a considerable difference in the third-class fares on this line, especially with respect to the local traffic, the charges for which will be reduced by nearly one-fourth. i
DANGEROUS PLACES OF PUBLIC…
DANGEROUS PLACES OF PUBLIC WORSHIP. Among many other causes to which the increased mortality of the winter season may be attributed is the unwholeaomeness of places of public worship. In many of these building there is no attempt whatever at ventilation, and the warming arrange- ments, when they exist, are as a rule defective, and wholly insufficient to neutralise the effects of damp and cold draughts of air, that exercise so pernicious and often so deadly an effect on invalids, aged persons, and young children. These latter are especially to be pitied, for in many households and schools it is considered a duty to send children to church, however inclement the weather may be, without any regard to consequences and there are few spec- tacles rnoie pitiable than that of a troop of little schoolchildren trudging through the snow or rain to sit out a long servicc and sermoa in wet shoes and garments frequently saturated with moistur.?. It is not surprising under these cir- cumstances that the voice of the preacher in the pulpit is almost drowned by the chorus of cough- ing that arises from the throats of the youthful j members of his congregation; and the seeds of consumption and other fatal diseases are, there can be little doubt, frequently sown by the utter disregard of the rules of common sense displayed in the matter of "regular church attendance" by those who have charge of the young. Theatres, it is true, have much to answer for in the way of infantile illness and morality but tor every one child killed by a theatre probably two are killed by a church, since children taken to theatres are, as a rule, more carefully wrapoed up aud pro- tected trom the inclemency of the weather than those sent to places of morsliii).-Pall Mall Qazctte.

CAR LUFF. r
CAR LUFF. r POLICB PROMOTION.—Police-sergeant King, who has been for very many ye.-rs the sergesuat-supein- tendent of the Llaudaff police, has been promoted by Colonel Lindsay, the chief-constable of the couuty, to the position of inspector of the county police at Tieherbert. This change has been brought about by the retirement of Iuspector R ) at Aberdare. Inspector Thorney, formerly of Llaudaff, and now of Trtherbert, will be removed to Aberdare. Sergeaut Kiiig will succeed him. and Sergeant Reesv of Pontypridd, will succeed Sergeant King at Llaudaff. Sergeant King has I so long been confected with the Kibbor Division of the county police-force, and is so highly respec- ted by the magistrates and inhabitants of the dis- trict that they, while congratulating him on his promotion, regret his removal from Llandaif. Sergeant King is one of the few officers who have been placed in the "merit class," and wears the badge on his arm. Tnis badge is only awarded to those officers who for 9 long period of years ll1ive shewn not only skill and judgment as police- officers, bat also strict attention to their duties. THE POOR OF ST MARY'S PARISH.—Ou Wednes- day the poor of St. Mary's parish, to the number of 300, were supplied, 200 at the schoolroom, Bute- terrace, and 100 at their own homes, with an ex- cellent dinner. This was procured from Huntley's by means of subscriptions raised in connection with the parochial organization, set on foot by the Rev. G. A. Jones. The beer wae given by Messrs North and Low and Messrs Gaskell and Company, A large number of ladies and gentlemen, and es- pecially the "sisters," took an active part in waiting upon the poor folks, who seemed to enjoy themselves very much indeed. There was an abundance of everything, and that free from the restrictions of creed or denomination. By Wed- nesday night close upon 1,000 children will have had their Christmas treat. They are, it seems, feasted in detachments, and after each spread pre- sents are given away, and the amusements of a children's tea party indulged in.

The Vicar of St. John's very kindly attended at Miss Jenner's request, owing to the absence, by illness, of the chaplain, the Rev. A. Elias. and gave a most earnest address, first in the union, and then to the inmates of the hospital. In the course of his remarks he exhorted them to forsake the paths of vice and sin, and to remember that the Gospel message was sent first to the poor, and that though" inmates of a work- house they could yet be happy and cheerful, if only they weie true to God and themselves. They were also addressed by Miss Jenner, after which, in the union, a few Welsh songs were sung, and in the hospital some hymns. Cheers were given for the visitors, and for Miss Watson, a great friend of the hospital, who is from home also for Mr David and the board of guardians for permitting the treat, and "God save the Queen" was sung to bring the evening to a close. VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON A CONSTABLE.—At the borough police-court, on Wednesday—before the Mayor and Alderman Alexander—William Reynolds, a baker, was charged with assaulting P.C. John Thomas in the execution of his duty. The constable add a gang of young fellows were making a disturbance in Church-street. He col- lared defendant, who knocked him down. De- fendant was fined 40s and costs. John Minifie, also a baker, was charged with assaulting P.C. John Thomas on the same date. P.C. Thomas said that while he was appreheuding the last defen- dant Minifie came up and threatened to "knock his head off," and afterwards struck witness more than once. The magistrates said this was a very Berious offence. Defendant excused himself by pleading drunkenness. He was also ordered to pay 408 and costs.

Mr Michael Biddulph, M.P., has just made an allowance of 10 per cent upon the past half-year's rent to all his farm tenants in the neighbourhood of Ledbury. Mr Osman Ricardo, another large landowner in the district, has also recently made a smilar allowance. DEAR VANITY. I will begin my letter this week by singing the praises of a medicine which has the vaJue able property of curing what all the world is suffering from at thia season more or less—namely, a cold in the Surely that complaint is one of the lesser evils that flesh is heir to, and I think the man who has dis- covered a sure remedy for this plague ought to be ranked among the benefactors of the humau race. The other morning I awoke with that most uncomfortable of feelings, a general oppression, which is the certain preoursor of a catarrh. At first black despair seized me; but luckdy I remembered that if taken in t'me the mystic contents of a little green glass bottle naglit save me from the prospect of many days' dhcomfort to myself and others. I sped to the nearest chemist's and found the longed-for remedy, and before night was cured. It is called Gh kaline," a colourless, tastelea* fluid, throe drops of which, taken at intervals of ail hour' win mfalhbly do away with the most obstinate of colds! All this sounds rather like an advertisement,so I be"- you to understand that I have no personal or pecuniary in- terest in the saie of "Glykaline," and only sing its praises from a wish to spread its healing properties around, and, by recommending it, confer a boon OI1 the suffering human race.

LIVERPOOL FRurr MARKET, NVe(Inesday.- (From Messrs Brockbank, Townsend, and Co.'s llDuual fruit report.)—It has certainly been pal- pable to every one that the frequent and cus- tomary policy of running up prices to their utmost limit at the commencement of the season (and which this year lias not been the owing to the large stocks carried over and anticipation of abundant crops) has its deterring influences, an I prevents that healthy and steauy demand which in our business more particularly should Lave its course throughout the season, Unneces-) sarily high rates certainly produce a weakness of I trade, which, if pursued in, must, sooner or later, diminish, rather than increase, the demand. This year may be the forerunner, and if the principles I of low ra.te3 be adopted, will prevent a further re- currence of those disasters, of which 1877-8 has been so characteristic. Currents—Large stocks of old and unsound fruit, 2.400 tons against DOO tons, with prosp;cts of an abundant crop, were the pre- veiitative of high prices at the opening ot the season, and and as new fruit arrived a healthy de- mand and consumption at once sec in, and con- tinued, more or iess, ynfcil now. New arrivals at once t,reiv old fruit into neglect, and the primary outlet was eventually fouud for distillation. The condition of new fruit generally has been g.-o.I" and given satisfaction. Vostizza found earnest buyers, ano, as this growth ha t attained a limited compass, ravour towards fine Patras and I Gulph II descriptions has recently been shown. The low prices of Provincial and Pyrgos have of late pro- uuceci a speculative demand, which w:,s doubtless encouraged by tLe large business transacted in London, and wlichhas had a hardening tendency II on be market, more firmness displayed by holders.

REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. ^METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE, Jan. 1st, 8 a.m. Weather, though quieter at present than it was yesterday, is still in a very unsettled condition. In Scotland the sky is moderately clear, although snow is falling at Sumburgh Head and Stornoway in Enghnd and Ireland the weather is at present fair, but the sky has an unsettled appearance. Rain has fallen pretty generally in the past 24 hours, followec, by snow in Scotland and the north of Ireland. Temperature has fallen very generally as much as 10 degrees to 16 degrees on our north-east coasts. Frost prevails at the Scotch stations. Wind is strong from over the Northern half of Scotland, and blows a fresh gale from that quarter at Sumburgh Head. In the N. and E. of England it is moderate from W. and N. W., but at Scilly it is strong from S.W., at the same time that a light north breeze is felt in the S. of Ireland. Severe S.W. or W. galea have been felt in all parts of Ireland and England. Sea is very rough off the S.W. coast and also in the N., slight in the E., and :1.1so in St. George's Channel, BAROMETRICAL INDICATIONS.— The depression which lay over Scotland yesterday has reached the soutli of Norway, where it has become secondary to a larger disturbance lying further N., and a very rapid I'i"e of the barornetor is in progress over Scotland. T ie highest readings (about 30,25 ins.) are still reported from the south of France, and there are indications of a new disturbance approach- ing onr S.W. coast from the Atlantic. Wwiiiwrs —I he south cone is still flying on all except our extreme northern coasts. Two P.M.—The barometer is falling rapidly on our SAV. coasts, while it is rising in the N. and E. Easterly winds are setting in over our western coasts, and already blow strongly at Scilly.

-------ANNUAL HEVIEW OF THE…
ANNUAL HEVIEW OF THE SHIP- I'lNiji TRADE. The following is from the circular of Messrs C. W. Keliock and Co., appointed brokc-i to the Admiralty :—"Wc doubt if shipowners ever experienced worse times than during the last twelve months. In almost every branch of com- merce a further downfall has taken place. The recent bank failuresjhave of course still further depressed snipping property, owing to the feeling oi uncertainty regarding the tonnage which might be unduly pressed upon the market; on this point, however, we think we may say with authority that the extent of the suppressed pres- sure has been largely and fueely discounted. The great feature of the year iu conuection with steam- ers lias been the newly developed cattle trade with the United States and Canada not only have the regular Atlantic iines who chose to eng. gi in this tratlic iiia le good returns, but many of our east- coast friends have found it so prohcable ai to seek with eagerness engagements for next season. Cut- ton freights have been very variable, but grain rates from the Atlantic ports h;ve also continued remunerative. Wc have still to ieport a great de- crease in the building of iron sailing ships, the number in course of construction now being !•?«« than tor y*ars past. Contracts can be made for new ships' a from £ 11 to £13 per register ton, depending upon the specification ) and outfit. The older iron vessels have suf- fered a turther depreciation, an;i some very low sa.cs have been made. IVe quote ships from tiw to M'VC yeai.i ol.i at n l,) Js those five to tea years, i-i 7s to 28 10s and older ships from 1;5 to S6 10.3 per ton; and at these figures they must be good value compared with those now being sailed at double this cost, and with ail improvement in trade we confidently look to their showing good returns on such small capi- tal. We cannot see how they can possibly go lower if well cared for. The last sale of new colonial shils, classed 10 years A, were at 26 10% yer ton. In St. John, N.B., there are not more toan seven ships building, and none of these will come into the market while at Quebec there are only half a dozen which are at aJi likely to be for sale, whereas in years na3t we have had as many as one hundred snips placed upon the market from the_ colonies during the season. The wreck register continues much as usual, and numbers the colonies during the season. The wreck register continues much as usual, and numbers (including, of course, the vessels of all nations) over 200. This will, no doubt, in some degree I account for the continued scarcity of suitable tim- ber carrying ves^-ls, to which we referred last year, and we think this class of property must of necessity advance iu value with the least im- provement in the wood trade. Large weiglit- cairying steamers, of well-arranged dimensions and power are iu fair demand, and we have placed a good many during the year at very low prices. We strongly recommend our friends to avail them- selves of the present low price of this description of boat, feeling assured that it is the niunev maker of the future; we don't for a moment wish to depreciate sailing vessels, which we cou- siderhave yet a long lease of life, but with the present prices of both steamers and coal the steamers must have a great advantage. The build- iug of "ted vessels, except for Government pur- pojes, has not advanced much further during the £ ,eal* Should the proposed alteration in the J* rench tonnage duty be successfully carried, of which we are informed there is little doubt, we anticipate a greatly increased demand for British tonnage from that wealtuy and Important nation. III conclusion, we may Etate that we are still san- giiine enough to believe that the shipping interest of ElIgllind hasa great future before it, ami we I have no sympathy with tlio--e who are content to sit down and grieve over the present unprece- dented depression of trade,quite regardless of their previous successes.

The box containe i, as far as is known, 46 New Bruns- wick Railway Company debentures of 1000 dols. each, 21,000 dols. in Springhill Coal Mining Com- pany stock certificates, 15,000 d<>ls. in People's Bank stock certificates, Bank of New Brunswick and Maritime Bank stock certificates, and other papers. None of the other papers or securities in the safe were disturbs!, though there was about 2,000 dols. in bank notes and some bonds, &c,, in a package close to the compartment where the cash box was kept. For so:ue days a plumber and carpenter were engaged doing some repairs in the office, but, with this exception no stranger had access to the apartment where the safe was kept. Neither Mr Turnbull nor any of the firm's em- ployes can decide on any exact limit of time with- which the cash box was stolen. It might have been on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, but the fact that it was taken during business hours is beyond dispute, as the doors of the vault and safe are carefully locked Her, night, and the safe combination is known only to the members of the firm and their confidential clerk. No sus- picious persons have been seen about the premises.

LLANDILO.
LLANDILO. LECTURE BY DR SCHOLFIELD.—On Monday evening the eminent temperance advocate, Dr Scholfield, district superinteudent of the United Kingdom Alliance, delivered a very able, in- structive and convincing lecture at the Old Methodist Chapel, Llandilo, on "The facta and fallacies of the liquor traffic." The chapel was fairly well filled. The Rev. W. Davies, Bethle- hem, near Llandilo, presided, and in calling upon Dr Scholfield to address the meeting, referred to the honour he felt at being called upon to occupy such a position. Dr Scholfield, who was well re- ceived, spoke at first in a very slow and careful manner, and one could hardly believe that it was possible for a man who began his lecture as he did to be so fired with his subject as he advanced with it. Before he drew his remarks to a close be had thoroughly carried his audience with him, and his peroration thrilled them, notwithstanding that he laboured under the disadvantage of ad- dressing an audience whose acquaintance with the English language was limited. After tracing the history of temperance from the remote past up to present time, he went on to speak of the part that water played in existence, and created some amusement by su; posing the chairman placed under an hydraulic machine and the water being pressed from his body. When teetotallers were charged with having "water on the brain," the charge was perfectly true. In loving teetotalism we were only doing what was riht. He then went on to say how we must all pay the penalty for all wrong-doing, and that nothing happened without a cause. The so-called moder- ate drinkers came in for a very severe handling, and the absurdity of the term was brought home to his hearers. He described a man lying drunk in the mud as "luggage to be left until called for." The craving that some men had by nature —probably inherited from their forefathers—for drink, and the effect of drink in shortening human life, were next dwelt upon. His eulogy of the nose created roars of laughter. It plainly said. "No admittance except on business" to ail that was not fitted to be inhaled, and the use of the various senses was shown for discriminating what was and what was not fit for man's food. AtteI; treating of the "fallacies of the liquor traffic, he dwelt upon some of the "facts," Last year 147 millions had been spent in drink, and, by an apt illustration, what such a vast sum of money really meant was explained. He then went on to show what we got from the expendi- ture of this money in the shape of criminals, paupers, tramps, kc. The latter he described as "shipwrecks on dry land," of whom there were 30,000. He then referred to the effect of drink upon trade, and after dwelling upon the objects and aim3 of the United Kingdom Alliance, brought his remarks to a close by an exhortation to those present to take the pledge, and to join the temperance cause. The Rev. W. Davies (Tabernacle), and others also spoke. At the close a considerable number of persons signed the pledge, and several were enrolled as members of the Alliance.

A RUNAWAY HUSBAND FROM THE…
A RUNAWAY HUSBAND FROM THE RHONDDA VALLEY. At Pontypridd, on Wednesday, a highly re- spectable woman sought an order for separation from her husband. Mr Walter Morgan appeared for applicant, who said her name was Ann Jones, she lived at Treorky, where she carried on busi- ness as a greengrocer. She had been a innkeep- er. Her husband's name was David Jones. They were married at Carmel Chapel two years ago. He was of very irregular habits, and bad left her on two or three occasions. He last left her in February. She gave him no cause to go away. When he left he said he was going to England, and that as soon as he got settled he would send for her and the children. She had five children by her first husband. Her present was her second husband. She had never heard from him since he left, nor had she received any money from him. As she had become possessed of property, through her father's death, to the amount of £7<10, she was in fear that he might return and seek to claim the property. In answer to the bench, she said her husband was now at Accrington, Derbyshire. Two months ago she visited the place, and made enquiries, which re- suited in her finding him lodging at the house of an old maid. When the approached him. he said, "What the devil do you want here ?" She re- plied, I don't want you, David. I only come to see what sort of life you are leading." He made no proposal to return with her, nor did she desire him to do so. All she now wanted was protection from him for herself and children. She was able to get her own livelihood. An order for separa. tion was made.
