THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL PANIC. ARRFST OF PRESIDENT FISK. I :L CKNTRAL XEWS" TELEGRAM.] N'n YORK. MAY 26.—President Fisk, of the Marine Bank, has been arrested on charges of mis- appropriation. Fisk declares that he parted with the bank moneys on the faith of General Grant's representations. This statement has caused im- mense sensation. L" CEXTRAL EWS" TFTLEGRAM.1 Nw YORK, MAY 27 (MORNING).—It, has been made known that in 1382 Mr. Fisk wrote to General Grant stating that he understood that he (Grant) was a partner in the firm of Grant and Ward, and that he presumed he was right in supposing that the notes issued by that house were solely for the purpose of raising money to carry out Government contracts. General Grant replied confirming the partnership, but saying nothing about the con- tracts. On the same day that he received the General's reply, however, Mr. Fisk also had a letter written by Mr. Ward, and signed by General Grant. This contained a full assurance that Mr. Fisk's advances would be perfectly safe, and on the faith of these two documents Mr. Fisk says he paid ever the money, believing everything was straightforward. It is stated that the counsel who have been instructed to act for General Grant in this affair will urge that the General signed Mr. Ward's letter as a mere matter of business routine, without reading its contents, of which he was wholly ignorant.

J BERLIN, MAY 27.—The apparent mystery sur- rounding the movements of the morganatic wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse is now cleared up, the lady not having left Berlin since I announced her advent here some days since as the Countess von Czapska. She will, I understand, remain here until she is informed what course the Grand Duke pro- poses to follow with regard to her future position, and, in order to provide against contingencies, she has engaged the services of the well-known lawyer, Dr. Horwitz. A paper containing a request for a separation was recently submitted to her for signature, but she unhesitatingly refused to sign it.

THE DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY. ARRESTS IN LONDON. On the arrival of the Samphire at Dover on Monday morning from Calais, the Custom House officials, in examining the passengers' luggage, came across three portmanteaus of unusual weight. On searching them they were found to contain such suspicious articles as to justify their being retained and handed over to the detectives. The owners of the luggage, in the meantime, had dis- appeared, but were followed up and accompanied to London by detective officers. On arrival at Charing Cross,at 6a.m..the officials at Scotland Yard were communicated with, and Supt. Williamson was soon on the spot, and ordered the men to be placed under arrest, at the same time apprising Colonel Majendie, her Majesty's Inspector of Explo- sives, of what had occurred. this gentleman carefully examined the contents of the port- manteaus, in which were found several tin boxes, wrapped in straw, containing an explosive sub- stance also tubes filled with gunpowder, together with two machines supposed to be infernal ones. It is believed, however, that the men arrested are not Fenians, and that they will be able to account satisfactorily for the possession of the explosives, which, they state, were to be used in a legitimate manner. At Bow-street Police Court on Monday Eugene Turpin and Eugene Louis, giving an address at Rue de la Victoria, Paris, and described as chemists, were charged under the Explosives Act with keep- ing explosives in an unauthorised place. Detec- tive M'lntyre deposed that defendants were pointed out to him by a Custom House officer at Dover, where they had just arrived by the Calais steamer. He got into the same train with them, and arrested them at Charing Cross Station, with a box and small hand-bag in their possession. He examined the box and bag, and found therein four tins of compressed gunpowder and another substance. The prisoners stated they were taking the explosives to Glasgow for experimental pur- poses, and that they were well known at the French War Office. They also mentioned the names of English tirms and military officers for whom they had conducted experiments. Colonel Maiendie deposed that the explosives found in the prisoners' possession were of a nature unauthorised in this country. Ultimately Louis was discharged, and Tuipin liberated on nominal bail.

WRECK OF A BRIG. LOSS OF SIXTY-TWO LIVES. CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM. I ST. JOHN'S (NFWFOUNDLAND), MAY 23 (NIGWT).- An English schooner, which has just anived here, brings the news that the French brig Senorine, from St. Malo for Miguelon, was wrecked on the bank of Newfoundland early in this month. The crew of the Senorine numbered nine, and she had also 53 passengers on board. According to the report received all were drowned.

A COLLIERY ON FIRE. SEVEN MEN SUFFOCATED. A fire broke out early on Saturday morning in one of the pits of the Niddrie Collieries, near Porto- bello. Sixteen men were in the lower workings at the time, and their fate was for several hours un- certain, as they could not be reached by volunteer parties of explorers owing to the density of the smoke. About six o'clock in the evening a rescue party was enabled to descend to No. 12 Pit, and succeeded in rescuing nine of the imprisoned men. The other seven were suffocated, having been unable to reach the crossing where the rescued men were found. The names of the dead are John Kidd Seton, George Williams (a boy), Neil Paton, David Kerr, Michael Scanlan (boy), David Smith (late 75th Highlanders), and William Hamilton.

ANOTHER COLLIERY ON FIRE. ANTICIPATED LOSS OF LIFE. Telegraphing at 9.20 on Monday evening our Barns- ley c,)i- i-espo n dent says: -The corpnr,%ti on fire engi no has just started for the Rvhill Main Colliery, six miles from here, which is on fire. In the ordinary course of business the night shift would go down at six o'clock. Much excitement prevails at the prospect of loss of life. The fire at Ryhope Colliery was still burning on Tuesday afternoon, but the men were all rescued.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM; A M AN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING ATNEWPORT1 A thunderstorm of considerable severity broke over Cardiff on Saturday afternoon. The flashes of lightning were very vivid, and the roar of thunderseemed to be unpleasantly near. Some minor damage was occasioned, including the destruction of a flag staff near the Canal Bridge, Bute-street. Between nine and ten at night the storm burst over Newport and continued for over two hours. During the storm a middle-aged man named Roberts, living with his sister-in-law at the Foun- tain beerhouse, at the corner of Bolt-street and Canal-terrace, was standing in the passage and was struck by the lightning. He lost his speech. Dr. Jennings attended him, and on Sunday morn- ing he was still unable to speak. From other parts of South Wales reports have been received of the storm, but no serious damage appears to have been caused.

THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT, A WORKING MAN ADJUDGED BANKRUPT AT ABERDARE. Judge B. T. Williams, Q.C., sitting at the Aber- dare County Court on Tuesday, made an adminis- tration order—the first of the kind under the new Bankruptcy Act in the district—regarding the affairs of a working man named Gideon Coxon, of 31, Chapel-street, Aberaman. Gideon Coxon, who was examined by his Honour, said he was 58 years of age. and 25 years ago he was a coal agent." He gave up the work twenty years ago, and since had worked as acollier. For the last few weeks he had not worked underground, but was employed as a labourer, earning 3s. 4d. per day: There was a time when he earned as much as L2 per week. Latterly his health had given way. He did not drink, and had been a Rechabite for five years. In 1874 he went into business with some JE600 as a greengrocer. He received 1504 of the money as compensation from the Taff Vale Railway Com- pany for injury to his eyes. In two years after being in business he was made a bankrupt. The whole of his personal debts were L33 2s. lid.—No creditor objecting, his Honour observed that Judge Metcalfe at Bristol had said he would not have made such an order, but he (Judge Williams) took a different view, and thought an order should be made when anything could be paid. The object of the Act was to protect the working classes from judgment summonses. The Judge then ordered the debts to be discharged by payment of 6s. 8d. in the S, and for that the plaintiff was to pay into court the sum of 4s. per month, the registrar to have charge of the order.

BRECONSHIRE FARMERS AT LOGGER- HEADS. SHEEP-COURSING AGAIN. Morgan Powell, Noyadd Farm, was summoned at the Merthyr Police Court by Mr. William Jenkins, Llwyncryn Farm, for coursing his sheep by setting dogs at them. Mr. E. C. James prose- cuted, and Mr. H. E. Thomas defended. Prose- cutor's son, Morgan Jenkins, and a man named Price on the 12th inst. went to the sheep walk belonging to the former, and hid themselves. v Shortly afterwards, between six and seven o'clock, they saw defendant or someone very like him come up from Noyadd to the sheep walk and course the sheep. They then saw it was defendant, who they swore coursed the sheep and harassed them for some time. He drove the sheep for about three-quarters of a mile. Three or four of the sheep were bitten, and the rest alarmed. One died on the following Sunday. The sheep through the coursing were swollen and damaged to the extent of 2s. per head. Price, a man named John Jones, and Wm. Jenkins were ctll, 1 to speak to the condition of the sheep. The defence was that defendant was not on the sheep walk as alleged. The case was considered proved, and defendant was fined ES and costs. A second summons charged him with doing damage to the and for that offence he was ordered to pay 30s. in respect of the dead sheep, and 6d. per head in reference to 65 others. Powell was also sum- moned for assaulting Owen Price, and was fined ±1 and costs. The whole of the fines and costs amounted to £ 1118s. 4d.

1 SUICIDE OF THE DEAN I OF BANGOR. The Dean of Bangor, the Very Rev. Henry T. Edwards, M.A., was found dead in his bedroom at Ruabon Vicar- age on Saturday morning under most distressing circumstances. Some eigh- teen months ago he had a terrible attack of typhoid fever, from which he never entirely recovered, symptoms of weakness continuing throughout ever since the illness. Nothing gave any permanent relief from insomnia. last year he did a great deal of con- tinuous work about the University College at Bangor, and it was evident to all who saw him and lived with him that the strain of work, coupled with the dis- tressing symptoms of sleeplessness, were telling on him. What at last brought a complete break-down was a speech which he delivered at Carnarvon last autumn on Church Defence. The labour which he spent upon this in his enfeebled state of health brought a complete collapse. He at once sought change by a voyage to the Mediterranean last February. This proved very trying; the voyage being an unusually rough one, he suffered greatly from sea sickness. W hen he got back to England he was not any better. And, in spite of all that the best skill could do, the insomnia continued, and the poor sufferer sought rest in the terrible end now known to all. The Dean had been staying with his brother, the Rev. E. W. Edwards, vicar of Ruabon, during the past fortnight to recruit his health, and had for some time been in a most depressed state of mind. Finding the Dean did not come down to breakfast on Saturday morning, his bedroom was visited, when the lifeless body was discovered suspended from the bed- post with a leather belt, one leg kneeling on the room floor and the other placed upon the bed. The sad news was received throughout the Principality on Saturday with profound consternation and grief, the Dean being held in high esteem by both Churchmen and Non- conformists. The Dean has been unable to preach or conduct services for the past six months, having been suffering from typhoid fever and general debility. Latterly he had suffered from sleeplessness and nervousness, and was greatly depressed in spirits' On Friday he attempted to procure poison from the local chemist and druggist, and had to be repeatedly refused. He had also been closely watched by his friends for some days prior to his death. He had re- cently returned from a long cruise in the Mediterranean, but had derived little benefit from the voyage, and a short time before his death he had expressed the belief that he would never recover from his protracted illness. The Dean was in his 47th year, and leaves two children, having been married twice. Numerous telegrams of inquiry and sympathy have been received. LBY MORIEN-1 I ca.ne here soon after midnight on Saturday hoping to be able to contradict the awful tidings flashed over the kingdom on Saturday, that the eloquent and gifted Dean Edwards, of Bangor, was dead. I am compolled to confirm the intelligence that this noble son of Cambria is no more of this world, and that an end to his existence here below was caused by his own act about fifteen minutes after eight o'clock on Saturday morning during a fit of madness, brought on, there is no doubt, by over-taxing his brain in the work of religion. On alighting from the train I found the night porters speaking of the event with bated breath, a if reflecting the general gloom. Soon after seven o'clock on Saturday morning I wended my way towards the vicarage of Ruabon, where the sad event took place, and where the dead is now lying. The vicarage lies embowered in green fields, redolent with May flowers, and is seen through the great umbrageous branches of chestnut, beech, and lime trees. All Wales, irrespective of party, mourn the loss our country has sustained by the death of Dean Edwards. Even those who differed from him felt proud of this gifted son of the sometime Vicar of Llangollen, for did not Cambria feel she had in him one well qualified to meet her enemies in the gate ? To employ his own words uttered to his brother at Ruabon Vicarage a short time ago, something in his brain snapped like the spring of a watch some months ago, and from that moment forward he was not the same man as formerly. This occurred about a fortnight after he delivered his great speech of three hours' duration, at Carnarvon, in defence of the Welsh Church. Whilst the bells of Ruabon were this morning inviting the parishioners to the house of prayer, I wended my way a second time to- wards the vicarage, this time over the path through the fields over which the Dean returned from the village for the last time on Friday eve- ning. I was received by the deeply-stricken vicar and his wife. During my prolonged interview with the rev. gentleman his emotion was frequently overwhelming, and it was manifest that he loved the departed dearly, and that the last days of Dean Edwards on earth were made as comfortable as it was possible to make them by the loving care of the brother, his wife, and three daughters. Even on the day before his tragic death the Dean wandered about the fields with the three young ladies, and seemed then to be in a happy mood. During Friday the Dean, the vicar, and the ladies ascended a mountain above Llangollen, the home of his boyhood, and seemed to much enjoy the delightful scenery of Dyffrvn Clwyd, and the mountain breeze. He chatted with a lady visitor about a visit he intended making to Switzerland and other parts of the Continent. But the watchful eye of the brother noticed that he occasionally lapsed into fits of deep abstraction. During the day he found time to pay three visits to the shop of Mr. A. E. Yardley, cbemist, Ruabon. The first visit was paid about half-past ten, and he remained there a considerable time talking about his suffer- ings. He read at the chemist's the chapter on insomnia, or sleeplessness, in Dr. Tanner's practice of medicine. He asked Mr. Yardley first to supply him with strychnine, then with prussic acid, afterwards with Indian hemp and tincture of nux vomica, but the chemist refused, at the same time impressing upon the Dean the dangerous nature of those drugs. He wanted them, he said, to procure sleep. Between one and two o'clock and again between five and six o'clock he called at the chemist's. On the last occasion he was again reading Dr. Tanner's work, when Miss Jennie Edwards entered in search of him. He instantly closed the hook and took his departure with her. During his visit to Mr. Yardley he spoke to him of his approaching death. This conversation Mr. Yardley pointed out to him as due to the state of his health. He asked the Dean his age, and he replied, Forty-six." Why," replied the chemist, you will probably live many more years." The Dean answered solemnly, No, I am doomed," and soon afterwards went away. It is rumoured that after his departure the chemist was about to communicate to the vicar that the Dean had applied to him for deadly poisons, but was persuaded not to do so. At the dinner table at the vicarage on Friday evening the Dean spoke of his eternal prospects, and asked each present individually to pray for him. and each promised to comply with his request. After this the vicar and Mrs. Edwards, together with the Dean, retired to the library, where the Dean slept in his chair for three-quarter of an hour. When he awoke, and was told in answer to his question as to how long he had slept, that he had been asleep for three-quarters of an hour, he expressed surprise that it was not longer. Soon after ten o'clock he retired to his room for the night. When bidding one of the young ladies Good night" he kept his face away from her. This was not much noticed at the time, but since his death it has acquired important significance, especially when associated with the appHcation for poisons earlier in the day. He often, within the last few days, spoke to his brother of his un. worthiness for the Christian ministry, and said that every time before engaging in the service of God he spent an hour or two alone in his bedroom engaged in private devotion. I saw the Bible and Jeremy Taylor's two volumes of private devotions on a chest of drawers near the bed where the body was lying. A little before eight o'clock on Saturday morning ond of the servants saw the Dean leaving his bedroom and crossing a private office. Presently he returned into his bedroom, and this was followed by sounds in the bedroom of stamp- ing and walking about. It appears that the house- boid» bavioB .iaiiia case TOtaeaaed before timifae instances, did not take particular notice of the 1 noise on this occasion. About half-past eight o'clock the vicar entered the Dean's bedroom with a letter from Canon Gregory, Amen-court, St. Paul's* London, when to his indescribable horror he found his brother with a narrow leather strap round his neck, and the other end fast to the iron rod of the left side of a wooden half-tester bedstead. The right foot was firmly set on the floor, and the left knee was on the side of the bed. The cries of the vicar brought all the family into the room, and while a man-servant held up the body the vicar cut the strap. The body was quite warm. Dr. Lawton Roberts was quickly in attendance, and opened a vein in the head, and adopted other means to restore animation, but without avail. The doctor expressed an opinion that he had been dead about fifteen minutes. It was a most remarkable death from strangulation. The head was bent a little, and it was only that part of the strap which was beneath that was tight against the neck, th upper part of the loop being quite open. The supposition is that one of those terrible fits came on after he returned into the bedroom, and, espying in the bedroom young Edward's fish basket with a strap attached, he used the strap as already described. Close to the bed was a tray with half- a-dozen small bottles containing medicine, and a Bible. On the dressing-table before the window were several small cases containing razors and other shaving apparatus which he used every morning. It was indescribably painful to gaze at the rigid face of the dead Dean of Bangor. The abundance of grey hair was turned on one side over the magnificent forehead, and a quiet smile seemed to play about the firmly-set mouth. It was Sabbath morning, and the hour when in happier days con- gregations in Llangollen, Aberdare, Carnarvon, and latterly in the old Cathedral of Bangor were wont to be stirred by his fervid eloquence, but now to dumb forgetfulness a prey," and our tears fell fast as we contemplated so fearful an end to a noble life. Letters and telegrams have poured into the Vicarage since the sad affair became known. The Lord-Lieutenant of Denbighshire (Mr. Cornwallis West) wrote to the vicar, the Rev. E. W. Edwards. —" Wales has lost one of her truest and best sons his tragic death will cause universal sorrow." Mr J. H. Puleston. M.P., telegraphing from Dean's- yard, London, said:—" I am deeply grieved to hear the sad news; we all sympathise with you, and mourn the end of one of my best and truest friends.* Sir Watkin and Lady Wvnn, telegraph- ing from St. James', express profound sorrow for what had occurred. The Rev. David Howell, B.D., vicar of Wrexham, wrote to express his deep sympathy. My whole soul," he said, "is filled with anguish," adding that he wished he could share with his bereaved brother the stupendous affliction. Many other similar communications, some from Nonconformist ministers, have been received at the Vicarage. SERVICE AT RUABON PARISH CHURCH. Funeral services were conducted at Ruabon Parish Church on Sunday by the Rev. G. T. Birch, Wrexham, and the Rev. T. Jones, Ruabon. The prayers of the congregation were earnestly im plored on behalf of the bereaved friends of the late Dean, and at the close of the morning service the Rev. T. Jones, curate of Ruabon, an intimate acquaintance of the deceased, standing upon the altar steps, said he felt it was his painful duty to make a brief reference to the sad event with which their hearts were all so full. Next Sunday they hoped to express themselves at greater length upon the precious life which only yesterday left their midst so unexpectedly and under such mournful circumstances. All who knew him, whether per- sonally or by reputation, must have had the greatest admiration for him his public career was of an unusually successful character; he was richly qualified for the sacred calling which he so heartih loved, and so faithfully followed. His vast mind and honest heart were always employed in furthering the cause of his Divine Master and the intellectual condition of his fellow country- men. In his death the Church had lost (mil of the brightest ornaments that had ever adorned her. In his death Wales had lost one of the greatest men that she ever produced His name would be emblazoned on the roll of fame until time should be no more. Our loss, however, would he his gain. He had gone from a world of consuming toll and wasting worrv to that happy mansion of God's departed saints. He had ascended into the presence of that God whose character he laboured so diligently to unfold, His soul had- gone to the dear Redeemer whose atoning life and death he set forth with such faith and boldness. We may go to him but he shall not return to us. Let us learn ai least one lesson from this life, now departed—the great lesson of prayer. He was an eminent man of prayer, which he (the preacher) believed was the secret, of his great success in the days of hi" health and strength. He used to spend one hour every morning on his knees. Let them implore the blessing of Heaven upon the dear little orphans and sorrowing relatives left to mourn their irre- parable loss.—The congregation then bowed somp minutes in silent prayer, after which the "Dead March" in Saul" was played by the organist, Mr. Hall.

THE INQUEST, At ten o'clock on Monday morning Mr. B. H. Thelwall, coroner for Denbighshire, opened the inquest at the Vicarage. The jury, of which Mr. William Morris, draper, Ruabon, was foreman, were sworn at the Court Rouse in the village. They then walked to the Vicarage, a distance of a quarter of a mile, and were ushered into the library. After a short delay they were conducted to the bedroom upstairs to view the body of the late Dean. The face bore the same calm and pleasant expression as it did on Sunday. Suspending from the iron curtain rod on the top of the bedstead was the leather strap with which the awful deed was done; the other portion, with the buckle attached, was lying on the dressing table. Near the bed was a leaden shell. After the jury re-assemhied in the library, The Rev. E. Wood Edwards was called to give evidence. After being sworn, and taking his seat, it was some time before he could command his feelings sufficiently to enable him to givo evidence. He said he had been vicar of Ruabon since 1862. The deceased, Henry Thomas Edwards Dean of Bangor, was his brother. He was at the time of his death 46 years of age and some months. The deceased had been ill for some time, and had told witness that on the 8th of January last he had felt something snapping in his head resembling the noise made by the breaking of the spring of a watch. He had requested lately to be placed in an asylum, and on Thursday last he packed up his luggage with a view to go and place himself under the care of Dr Winslow, near London, but he (the witness) would not hear of it. At the conclusion of the deceased's trip to the Mediterranean he wrote from Gibraltar requesting the witness to meet him in Liverpool. He, however, was absent, in London, when the letter arrived, and the conse- quence was that he failed to meet his brother at the exact time he requested in his letter. At the request of his brother he went to the Deanery at Bangor, and from there to London. Witness then described their visit to London, and by the advice of Dr. Playfair his brother and himself went to Benrhydding Hydropathic Institution. They returned to Ruabon Vicarage last Friday week. He frequently during the week suffered from paroxysms of intense mental depression, and felt he was during those fits dangerous to himself, but witness did not think so. If he had feared any- thing like that he would have had him placed under restraint. On Friday the Dean was even more depressed than usual, and expressed th* utmost horror of the danger he was in. The wit- ne s then described their journey to the mountain above Llangollen on Friday, undertaken solely with a view to relieve the Dean's depression. In answer to the Coroner, the Vicar stated that the Dean suffered much from sleeplessness, and it was only by taking narcotics that he was able to sleep at all. The body was quite warm when discovered, and he (witness) cut it down himself. Dr. Roberts said he saw the body on Saturday morning, and found that the deceased had died from strangulation. Dr. Jones gave evidence to the same effect. Police-Sergeant Hughes produced the strap with which the deed was done. The Coroner briefly summed up the evidence, and the jury immediately returned a verdict to the effect that the Deceased committed suicide dur- ing a fit of temporary insanity." The Jury then passed a vote of deep sympathy with the vicar in his bereavement. In returning thanks, the Vicar said that he had received a letter that morning which pointed out to him the 54th chapter of Isaiah and the 7th and 8th verses. Those verses had afforded him that morning deep consolation. They were inscribed on the tomb of a colonel at Brecon who committed suicide during a rush of blood to the head. The following is the passage referred to:— For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with greftt mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saitli the Lord thy Redeemer.

THE FUNERAL. Our Ruabon correspondent telegraphing on Wednesday evening, says:— The ancient Welsh village of Ruabon, so beauti- fully enclosed by the majestic trees which deck Wynnstay Park, the seat of the Prince in Wales,' Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., M.P., this morn- ing presented a most melancholy and sombre appearance as the death knell of the village bell told the inhabitants that the remains of the late much-beloved Dean were about to leave the sacred room where the tragic end was enacted on Satur- day morning for their last resting place. All places of business -were closed, and the window blinds of the residences in the streets through which the cortege passed were drawn, testifying to the complete sympathy and sorrow of the inhabitants in the sad event. The Dean of Bangor was thoroughly well-known in 1 the diatric"- basing matuLxam ft*, the Vale of Llangollen, and of late years had frequently I visited his brother, the Vicar of Ruabon, at the vicarage, where he ended his most useful and eventful career. The mortal remains left the vicarage shortly before eleven o'clock, and were conveyed to the railway station in a hearse, followed by a mourning coach, containing the chief mourner, the Rev. E. W. Edwards, vicar of Ruabon. The other mourners walked behind as follow Rev. W. Edwards rector of Llandow; Rev. B. Edwards, rector of Llanwonno; Rev. A. G. Edwards, warden of Llandovery College, all brothers of the deceased; Mr. James Lewis, Plas Draw, Aberdare, brother-in- law; Mr. E. W. W. Edwards, Ruabon Vicarage, and Mr. W. Edwards, Llandow, nephews; Mr. D. Davis, Maesyffynon, Aberdare, father-in-law; the Rev. Saunders, Newark the Rev. W. Edwards, Rector of Llanberis, and the Rev. J. Evans, cousins; and Mr. Babbington Jones. The follow- ing clergy walked before the body:-The Revs. T. Ll. Griffiths, rector of Deal; Thomas Jones, curate of Ruabon; J. B. Armstrong, private chaplain to Sir Watkin; J. D. Edwards, vicar of Rhosy- medre; W. Jones, vicar of Rhos; H, Williams, curate, Rhos J. P. Lewis, Wrexham; A. Morris, Penycae; A. L. Taylor, M.A., Ruabon Grammar School; John Jones, Calvinistic Methodist minister, Ruabon; and R. J. Beynon, Congre- gational minister, Ruabon. The public procession walked behind the mourners, including Mr. H. C. Murless and Mr. William Marsh, churchwardens Mr. Robert Lloyd, postmaster; Dr. R. Chambres Roberts, Dr. William Jones Messrs. E. Yardley, E. Jones, J. W. Williams, Ruabon School Board E. Davies, sanitary officer; J. Parr, G. G. Jones, John Davies, Walter Griffiths, W. Dennis Jenkins, and Jones, Rhos; T. Hughes, T. Denbigh Jones, George Beckett, &c. A large crowd of inhabitants witnessed the solemn procession as it wended its way to the rail- way station, the scene being most impressive. On arriving on the platform the body, which was encased in a shell, a leaden coffin, and a hand- some, massive French-polished oak one, panelled and splendidly mounted in brass, built by Mr. John Davies, joiner and builder, Ruabon, was placed in a compartment of the special carriage provided for the corpse and mourners for removal to Baneor at eleven o'clock. On leaving Ruabon the sorrowful brother—the vicar-kindly handed me the following letter which he had received this morning from Dr. Playfair, the Dean's London physician:— Dear Sir,—I feel that I must write a few lines to ex- press to you and your family mv great sympathy in the terrible affliction which haa befallen you. Your brother consulted me some week or more since, and I was alarmed at the time at the symptoms of mental excitement which he displayed. 'I hey seemed to me to arise from over-work and worry. I strongly urged on him the necessity of complete relaxation and change of scene and occupation. This is another victim added to the long list of those who have succumbed in one way or another to the overstrain that is so common in our time. I was much i mpressecl wit 11 'he many fine qualitiesyourbrother exhibited in the long talk I had with him. I feel how heavy his loss must be. -I am, faithfully yours. W. S. PLAYFAIR. Having left Ruabon in due time, we soon reached Chester, where the special coach was detached from the Great Western train and linked to the London and North Western one en route for Bangor. We left Chester shortly after twelve o'clock, and as we passed through the several calling stations along the coast many sincere sympathisers fre- quented the railway platforms and reverently doffed their hats while the funeral train remained in the station. At Llandulas the Rev. H. Williams (" Hwfa Mon "), the celebrated Welsh Congrega- tional minister, came up to meet the train to express his sympathy with the mourners. On arriving at Bangor Station the platform was crowded by an anxious and sympathising crowd. The coffin, which was covered with wreaths de- posited by the loved ones before leaving Ruabon Vicarage, having been removed from the coach, was conveyed by eight bearers to the hearse await- ing outside the station, where an immense con- course of people had gathered to attend the solemn ceremony. A monster procession was then formed as follows:— The Carnarvonshire and Flintshire Administra- tive Battalion of Rifle Volunteers, under the com- mand of Colonel Cooke, Mold, numbering over 100 strong, headed by a military band. Members of the Menai Society of National Science and Literature, which was largely repre- nted. Thirty senior scholars from Friar's School, accompanied by the head-master, Mr. W. Glynn Williams. Council of the North Wales College, including Colonel the Hon. Sackville West, Mr. William Rath- bone, M.P., Mr. J. R. Davies, J.P., Mr. Lloyd Griffiths, Mr. Arthur Wyatt, and Mr.W.Cadwallader Davies, secretary to the College. Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Law Associations, which were also largely represented. Then followed 68 Wesleyan ministers and 70 lay representatives from the North Wales Welsh Wes- ieyan Conference, now assembled at Bangor, who gave up the afternoon sitting to-day to attend the funeral, a thing which is said to bo without pre- cedence in the history of Welsh Methodism. Afterwards followed the clergy, numbering about 200, from various parts of Wales, including the Revs. P. C. Ellis, Llanfairfechan; Lewis Jones, Cadoxton-juxta-Neath; D. N. Thomas, St. Ann's ttangor; E. Davies, Llanlynfi J. D. Jones, Collwyn Bay; R. W. Griffiths, Llandegai; T. Jones, New- horough; E. T. Watts, H. Rees, Conway; W. C. Edmonds, Menai Bridge; T. Howell, Penmaen- mawr; G. Davies, Conway; S. Jones, St. Ann's; T. L. Meredith, Gelligaer; T. R. Ellis Griffin, J. L. Jones, Criccieth; T. J. Bowen, Kilvey, Swansea P. Jones, Llanddona; J. Pryce, Trefarieth; J. Pryse, Clynnos; J. Bankes Price, Llandwrog; D. L. Wil- liams, Llanwrda; R. Hughes, Penygroes; W. Lewis, Talysarn and Canon Hugh Jones, Llanrwst. The hearse came next, then the mourners, with the Rev. E. W. Edwards, vicar of Ruabon (who is a cripple), in a mourning coach. Then followed the townspeople and the general public, making the total number in the procession about 1,000. The shops were all closed and the blinds drawn along the route, and the band played funeral marches as the procession moved through the city to the cathedral. Arriving at the ancient structure the military filed on either side of the street, the pro- cession passing through and entering the sacred edifice by the side door. The cathedral was shortly afterwards densely filled, a passage having to be made to allow of the procession of the cathedral staff, who gained egress by the west entrance in the following order:- Two vergers, two minor canons, the Revs. J. Evans and Jones, the choir wearing their surplices, accompanied by the organist (Dr. Rowland Rogers), Archdeacon Evans, Canon Lewis, Canon R. Williams, Canon T. Williams, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, the Rev. D. Evans, and the Rev. J. Morgan, senior and junior vicars of Bangor, all robed. The Funeral Service was read by the Lord Bishop, after which the choir sang the anthem, Blessed are the departed," from Spohr's Last Judgment," most effectively, the passages being rendered with great feeling and pathos, while the organ accompaniment waj very powerful and effective. The cathedral was filled to its utmost capacity; and during the reading of the fifteenth chapter of I. Corinthians the Lord Bishop's voice could be distinctly heard throughout the spacious structure, the solemn silenbe being broken only by the sobs of those who dearly loved the departed Dean and knew his real worth. Numerous ladies in the cathedral carried choice wreaths, while crosses and wreaths of snow white flowers draped the altar and the choir stalls and pews in the transept, the scene being exceedingly impressive and overwhelming, and one that will never be forgotten by those who thronged the sacred precincts of the historic structure. At the close of the ceremony the body, which had been laid on a bier before the altar, was again borne by the bearers, and conveyed to the hearse, when the procession was re-formed, and marched slowly through the fine old city and its environs to the last resting place of the noble man's body in the cemetery at Glanadda, on the outskirts of the city. All along the route from the cathedral to the grave a great concourse of people had gathered from all parts of the Principality, it being estimated that the procession, which was nearly a mile in length, was witnessed by at least 6,000 souls. Arriving at the grave, the military were marched in single file along the higher ground above the burial place. while the choristers filed themselves on either side of the tomb. The coffin was laid in the grave, amid dead silence by the mournful onlookers, and bore the following in- scription HENRY THOMAS EDWABDS, liolm SEPTBMBKB 6, 1837, Duro MAY 24, 1884. The last solemn rites were performed in a most impressive manner, the responses to the service being made in mournful accents of song by the choristers. The officiating clergy were the Rev. J. Morgan, junior vicar, and the Rev. Owen Evans, minor canon. The choir afterwards sang New- man's beautiful hymn M Lead, Kindly Light," most plaintively to a fine tune, specially composed for the occasion by the cathedral organist. The military then fired three volleys in the air, kthe baad BUying slawtar mk, effectively tti*, grand old tune "St. Bride" after each volley. The stirring old Welsh hymn, 0 Frynia Caersalem," was afterwards sung with thrilling effect by the immense multitude who had found their way to the graveside, the closing scene being most impressive. The coffin having been literally buried in wreaths and crosses, the short remaining space in the tomb was filled with earth, and after- wsrds laden with flowers, when we bade farewell to Cambria's greatest scholar and greatest divine. The funeral arrangements were carried out in a thoroughly satisfactory manner by Mr. R. E. Jones and Mr. John Davies, Ruabon.

BIOGRAPHY. The deceased Dean was the son of the late vicar of Llangollen, the Rev. William Edwards, and brother, as already stated, of the vicar of Ruabon (the Rev. E. W. Edwards), and also brother of the warden and head master of the Llandovery College (the Rev. Alfred George Edwards). He was in his 48th year, and was born at Llanymawddwy, Merionethshire, during the time that his father was vicar of that parish, at a period when that portion of the County of Merioneth formed part of the Diocese of St. Asaph. He was first educated at Westminster School, and afterwards studied with the Rev. F. E. Gretton at Stamford. When he was twenty years old he competed for the Powis Scholarship, open to Welsh-speaking natives of Wales, and was! bracketed as equal in merit with Mr. Nicholas, who subsequently graduated as seventh in the first-class classical tripos and senior optime, and became Fellow of St. John's College. The name of the late Dean Edwards appeared in the second-class classics in Moderations, but, in consequence of the unsatisfactory state of his health, he did not seek honours in the Final School. He graduated B.A. in 1860 at Jesus College, Oxford, and proceeded to his M.A. degree in 1873. He was ordained deacon by the Bishop of St. David's, and priest by Bishop Short, of St. Asaph, in 1861, when he was appointed to a curacy under his father at Llangollen. During his father's illness-from 1862 to 1866-he raised L2,500 to restore the parish church, and quadrupled the Welsh congregation. The parishioners col- lected a sum of money for him in 1866 as a testimonial of their respect, and he devoted it all to re-roofing the National Schools. In 1866 he was promoted to the charge of Aberdare, soutn wates, lJy the trustees of the Mar- quess of Bute. He held the vicarage of Aberdare only for three years, one of which he spent abroad as an invalid, but even in this brief period he left his impress on the Church work in the neigh- bourhood. He restored the chancel of St. Elvan's hurch, and built a new boys' school at Aberdare. He also built a new iron church at Aberaman, and, more than this, he obtained a promise from Sir George Elliot to replace this temporary building by a permanent one, a promise which Sir George has since then fulfilled. All these works he left entirely free from debt when he removed to Car- narvon. His ministrations at Aberdare also obtained for him great popularity When ho resigned the living he had a Welsh con- gregation at St. Mary's of 600 persons, of whom no fewer than 250 were communicants. In 1869 he was preferred to the vicarage of Car- narvon by the late Bishop of Chester, who had the gift of the living. Here, from 1870 to 1876, he paid a debt of Y,2,000 off Christ Church, and also built the new Church of St. David's, to accommo- date 370, which he left free from debt. The power of the Church in the town greatly increased in those years during the time the Dean laboured there, and he had the town so far with him that he was able to form the first School Board without a contest, and thus save a rate. He remained at Carnarvon until his elevation to the Deanery of Bangor in 1876, by the present bishop of that diocese (Dr. Campbell.) During his residence at Bangor he raised a sum of J6700 a year for the Bangor Clerical Education Society, a society which he originated, and which was supported almost entirely by his own personal efforts. A large number of the most promising of the clergy in this diocese have been sent to English Universities by the help of this excellent organisa- tion. He also restored the interior of the cathedral, and re-built the chapter house at a cost of £ 11,000. Rather more than two years ago he started at the cathedral a Saturday School for religious instruc- tion, which met with signal success, and elicited unqualified commendation from the late Primate. Upwards of 600 children here received instruction in the faith of the Church of England. The Dean also delivered in the chapter-room weekly lectures on the New Testament. These lectures were numerously attended by the Sunday School teachers of the city and others, and were looked upon as intellectual treats of no ordinary kind. Dean Edwards was a keen and powerful contro- versialist. His lecture on The Position and Re- sources of the National Church," which he de- livered some years ago, was a crushing reply to the vituperative criticisms of the agents of the Liberation Society, and in its pamphlet form it reached a circulation of more than 25,000 copies in Welsh and English. While at Carnarvon he wrote the whole of the Amddi- ffynydLd yr Eylwys for two years. He was also the author of a volume of sermons entitled "The Victorious Life," published in 1869; "The Calling and Education of the Clergy (1870): The Babel of the Sects" (1871), which appeared in Eng- lish and Welsh; The Exile and Return seven sermons on The Atonement" (1874), and The Church of the Cymry; a letter dedicated to Mr. Gladstone." His greatest literary work was, no doubt, the "Welsh Hamiletical Commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew," a work which displays great learning, and which has already been of universal value to Welsh theolo- gical students, although it was published as recently as 1882. His speeches at the Church Congress in 1879 and at the Carnarvon Church Defence meeting a few months ago both of which were masterpieces of their kind, are referred to in detail below. His efforts to improve education in Wales, and especially his able and earnest advocacy of Bangor as the site of the North Wales College, are known to all. In his later years the Dean sympathised rather, with the High Church party. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Davis, the daughter of David Davis, Esq., Maesyffynon, Aberdare, one of the leading colliery proprietors of South Wales. At her death, which occurred shortly after his removal to Carnarvon, he was left a widower, with one daughter. He subsequently married Miss Jones, of Treanna, Anglesey, a member of an old county family closely identified with Noncon- formity, and a lady possessed of rare good qualities. This lady died several years ago, leaving three children, and the Dean never ceased to deplore her loss. It was, in reality, the greatest blow of his life. As a man, the Dean was noble minded and chivalrous to a degree, and of the most sensitive and forgiving disposition. His tragic end will come, therefore, not merely as a stunning blow to his numerous friends and admirers in the Church, but it will cause a vacancy which it will be next to impossible adequately to fill.

SWANSEA SCHOOL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Swansea School Board was held at the G uild-I tall, Swansea, on Wed- nesday, when Mr. W. F. Richards presided. There were also present the Revs. Morris Morgan, E. J. Wolfe, W. P. Williams, and Canon Richards; Messrs. W. Morgan, J. Morgan, Ed. Roberts, A. Francis, R. T. Reed, J. Roberts, and R. Sutherland. SCHOOLS MANAGEMENT. The report of the Schools Management Com- mittee, which was proposed for adoption by Mr. W. MORGAN and seconded by Mr. E. ROBERTS, accepted the resignation of one assistant teacher and gave notice to another. It also recommended increasing the salaries of two monitresses at Ynys- tawe Board School, which school was stated to be in a very efficient condition. BUILDING COMMITTEE. Mr. J. ROBERTS moved the adoption of the report of the Schools Building Committee, which resolved on putting the temporary school at Morriston Graig into repair, and on acquiring additional land and rights of way for Brynhyfryd Board School. It also recommended the acceptance of a tender for addi- tions to Cwm Board School, and an application to the Public Works Loan Commissioners for a loan to cover the cost of the work. The execution of a contract for the additions to Cadle Board School was also advised. Mr. Roberts, referring to Goat- street School, said the corporation had agreed to give possession to the Wesleyan School authorities on condition that the purchase money should be paid to a joint account of the board and the cor- poration pending the decision in the case. Mr. EDWARD ROBERTS seconded, and the motion was carried. TRUANT SCHOOL COMMITTEE. Canon RICHARDS moved the adoption of the minutes of the Truant School Committee, which mentioned that he (Canon Richards) had tendered his resignation of the chairmanship. He explained that his only reason for doing this was that his duties for the next year would take him away from Swansea so much that he could not possibly give to the duties that attention which an institution of the kind required. He thanked the members for their kindness, and he thanked espe- cially the clerk, who had always been very ready to afford his help and information, which were always to be depended upon. The Rev. Canon made a lengthy reference to the religious question, and also said it was, in his opinion, very un- desirable that children of bad character should be allowed to associate with truants, many of whom were merely overflowing with spirited qualities, and could not be considered in any way vicious. He also wished to take the Roman Catholic children at times with him to a Roman Catholic place of worship, and the report proposed that their ferry fairs should be paid for this purpose. Mr. R. T. REED seconded, and, after some remarks from Mr. E. ROBERTS, The CHAIRMAN opposed the payment of money to any children to enable them to attend a place of worship, and moved as an amendment that the portion of the report referring to the religious question should bb referred back to the committee. The Rev. MORRIS MORGAN seconded. Canon RICHARDS said the board, by refusing to pay any money for the religious instruction of children, were upholding a principle which was useless and nugatory. They were not only allowed by the department, but were actually required to do this. They surely did not expect him to pay the money which they were supposed to devote to the good of these children ? If they did not agree to this course he must, in the interests of justice and of principle, represent the matter to the Edu- cation Department. On being put to the vote the amendment was carried by nine votes to one. THE RE-ARRANGEMENTS IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE. The applications for the posts of assistant, clerks were then gone through. Mr. Walter Coplestone, of Bradford, was appointed first assistant at a salary of £ 100; and Mr. W. E. Rees, of Swansea, Msond assistant, at a salary of 960. Jhis waft busiaega.

ABERYSTWITH COLLEGE. 1 THE GOVERNMENT GRANT. The Press Association understands that the grant conceded by the Government to Aberyst- with College amounts to X2,500 per annum for five years, on condition of Y,1,000 per annum being, locally raised, and of the latter amount JE640 has already been subscribed. The grant is extended to five years, instead of being, as in the case of the other Welsh Colleges, made an annual one, with a view to give a character of stability to the im- proved College plans. In the House of Lords on Tuesday Lord Carling- ford, answering Lord Norton, said a Commission which sat two or three years ago recommended that a moderate grant should be made from the Treasury for the purpose of enabling the people of North and South Wales to establish a College, and a grant of £ 8,000 had accordingly been made. Then a question arose whether the College at Aberystwith should be discontinued, and in con- sequence of strong representations a grant of £2.500 a year had been made to keep it up.

PRESENTATION TO MR. W. L. DANIEL, MERTHYR. On Tuesday evening there was a large gathering of Liberals at the Temperance-hall, Merthyr, Dr. Thomas, Liverpool, being announced to lecture on Disestablishment," and the evening was also fixed upon for the presentation to Mr. W. L. Daniel of an illuminated address upon his resigna- tion of the post of secretary to the Liberal Com- mittee, consequent upon his appointment as Official Receiver under the Bankruptcy Act. Mr. Thomas Williams, J.P., presided, and, having opened the meeting, called upon Mr. Southey to read the address, which was couched in flattering terms. Mr. Southey explained that the members of the borough were prevented from attending through attending to Parliamentary duties. He read a telegram from Mr. Richard, who asked him to assure the meeting that he cordially agreed with the expression of gratitude to Mr. Daniel for his long and eminent services to the Liberal cause. Afterwards Mr. G. C. James made the presentation, and said that as an agent of the last election he would ever have a grateful remembrance of the valuable assistance Mr. Daniel then rendered to the Liberal cause.—Mr. William Morgan, Pant, also having spoken, Mr. Daniel, rising to acknowledge the present, was received with the utmost cordiality. The address was one he would always treasure and regard with the greatest pride. The last election, he said, was won by hard work and splendid discipline, and he called upon all Liberals to do their duty and be united.—Dr. Thomas afterwards delivered his address.

THE DERBY. EPSOM, WEDNESDAY. This has proved to be one of the least interesting and picturesque Derbys for some years past, the spasmodic excitement of a dead heat notwithstand- ing. It began and terminated literally and figuratively under a cloud. The morning opened inauspiciously; dark clouds swept across the Downs before a bleak east wind. As the day advanced the gloom deepened. The border of exquisite wood which forms the vanishing rims of the landscape looked heavy and close; the scene lacked the fleecy, dreamy sunshadows which constitute a typical Derby, and which are the loved of Mr. Vicat Cole. To a leaden atmosphere were added an uncertain field and a course of iron. Yet, despite the un- promising appearance of the morning, there was but a slight diminution in the attendance—it was essentially a Derby crowd. The extent of booths and shows was as vast as ever; the dust upon roads and Downs alike was intolerable. The pilgrims who chose the road in pre- ference to the railway came down bear- ing a likeness unto the miller of fiction and of experience, but the Nomads, with the itinerant brush that serves at once for the coat and the boots, were ready to rub their victims down, and a roaring trade they drove. The humours of the Downs, however, were less marked than usual. We seemed to lack the mad zeal of the symbolical Derbyist. The Bedouins of the Downs were in fair form the rogue in perennial white hat was ready to determine your fortune under the prover- bial pea; the gipsy fortune-teller, despite the philosophy of our rigid ethics, continues tn flourish in a harvest of irreclaimable victims, and, true to custom, cast her horoscope according to the value of the white exiguous coin that crossed her palm —by such base considerations are the imitations of fate regulated upon Epsom Downs. The shoot- ing arrangements, by which the patriot is enabled to shoot his fill of his nation's enemies, were also as fertile and ingenious as ever. A strangely- habited being of tawny ferocity, crowned with an impossible turban, and designed as a movable mark, was put up as the Mahdi, to be potted at the rate of a penny a shot. I judge by the number of valiant marksmen that Jingoism and the use of the rifle are kindred virtues, and it was pleasant to observe the gleam in the eyes of those bold Britons who, having spinked the invul- nerable iron bosom of the False Prophet, went their way rejoicing at having "given one for Gordon." The crowd mustered more slowly than usual. It seemed to tarry by the way, and if it came late, like Charles Lamb, it departed early. At two o'clock the Grand Stand was barely half filled, and it was not until the ben rang for the race of the day that the beggarly array of empty benches" found tenants. There was a total absence of colour, however, ladies being clad in half mourning. But though Royalty was conspicuous by its absence, and the Union Jack vice the Royal Standard waving from the Grand Stand was as conspicuous by the novelty of its presence, there was no lack of titled personages to grace the scene. Amongst the noble patrons of the turf with whom one rubbed shoulders in the weighing-room and the paddock I noticed the ample and ruddy lineaments and the familiar blue shirt, collar, and cuffs of his Grace the Duke of Hamilton. Amongst the other notable wearers of the straw- berry beaver present were the Dukes of Beaufort, St. Albans, and Portland. The special train brought down the Marquess of Hartington.the Grand Duke Paul of Prussia, the Earl of Zetland, the ex-Viceroy of Egypt (Ismail Pasha), the Earl and Countess Cadogan, Lord Cork, Sir A. Otway, Sir Henry and Sir Massey Lopes, and M. Waddington (the French Ambassador). Amongst the earliest arrivals were the Earl of Rosebery, the Marquess of Queensberry, Lord Charles' Beresford, Lord Bradford, the Earl of Suffolk, Lord Howe, Lord Westmoreland. Lord Coventry, and Lord Calthorpe. Mr. Justice Hawkins seems to have discovered the properties of Sir Boyle Roche's bird of being in two places at once for whilst he was laying odds at Epsom his lordship was supposed to be in No. 6 Court, London. Mr. C. Russell, Q.C., M.P., was amongst the distinguished lawyers. Mr. Walton, the American "plunger," was prominent of turf gamblers, with very great faith in his own nomination—Richmond. The event of the day having been "played in," so to speak, by the Epsom Town Plate, a good start was made for the Derby in excellent time. Fifteen horses started. Bedouin and Waterford led, Richmond came up and got the course, St. Gatien and Bedouin following, closely attended by Beauchamp. Coming down the hill Richmond was still in the van, Harvester being last. Round- ing Tattenham Corner Richmond fell back, aid St. Gatien, who was well up, got a better position. St. Medard, with Fred Archer in the saddle, got shut in, and fell back from a promising pace. Harvester and St. Gatien drew away together, and the favourite made a dash forward. The position was maintained up the straight. Opposite the Grand Stand Harvester and St. Gatien were divided by Talisman, but, nearing the bell, Lord Falmouth's colt and St. Gatien ran almost neck and neck. The race was now in the highest degree exciting; but. notwithstanding the efforts of St. Gatien. it could not shake itself clear of Harvester, and a dead heat was the result. The two horses were so close that Wood, who held the rails with St. Gatien, found himself unahle to use his whip. Webb with Queen Adelaide was two lengths behind, but it is difficult to say what might not have happened had the goal been twenty or thirty yards further off. There was extraordinary excitement along the course and upon the row of stands, but the expec- tation of a run off" was disappointed by the announcement that the tie would be accepted, and a division of stakes, &c„ take place. Upon the card St. Gatien was entered first and Harvester last. This is the third successive year in which Webb and Wood have come in close together. Har- vester's success occasioned enormous surprise and much disgust, as it was the horse that everyone had been educated to believe could not foot the course at all. Queen Adelaide on being brought to the enclosure looked in splendid form, her points winning universal admiration. The subsequent events, with the exception of the Stanley Stakes, pulled off byF. Archer, with Wood and Webb second and third, served to entertain the ruder class of Derby frequenters. Shortly after the great race a man was seen standing upon the Downs stark naked, with the exception of having his boots on, and his mate was half naked, with one of his eyes apparently gouged out. They were welchers who had attempted to do a "guy," and had been caught and punished." I should state that this year's race was also remarkable in there being no Derby dog to run the gauntlet of the course, for many successive years a comical interlude in our Isthmian games. The following were the runners^ The DERBY STAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, colts 9st, fillies 8st 91b. for three year olds; the owner of the second horse to receive 300 sovs, and the third 150 out of the stakes About a mile and a half, starting at the New High Level Starting Post. 189 subs.

"CURIOSITY" (Penboyr).—After extended search and in quiry we have failed to trace any such society. "8. T. W," ,Bristol.)-Onlythetotal value. Not for sepa- rate towns. JACK CRANDACE (Cardiff).—The lion passant is the standard mark. If the article stamped contains less pure metal than the standard coin of the realm the number of carats is marked on it. The articles are marked after they have been assayed, but the marks are doubtless often forged for use on counterfeit metal. PASSKR-BY" (Cathays) writes to call the attention of the police to the disgraceflil conduct of alotof boys who are in the nightly habit of congregating from the corner of Thesiger-street to the corner of Cairns-street, to the annoyance and inconvenience of every passer. BORROWING AND RE-PAYiNG.-Il i Freeman" (Haverford- west) will be entitled to receive the balance of the money, after the loan and interest has been taken out of it; and, if he is willing to pay (as he professes to be), this will meet his views. But his letter appears to suggest that re-payment is not so pleasant as the act of borrowing, a weakness in which he does not stand alone. PROBATE OFFICE REGULATIONS,—" A Daily Reader" (Maesteg) is informed that the office hours are from ten to four daily; but we do not know whether the half-holiday movement has spread so far. The search fee is one shilling, which includes the privilege of reading the will or a copy. If he should require a copy to bring away with him, the cost will depend upon its length he will be told at the office. TURNPIXK TOLL.—" Nidum" (Neath) was bound to pay in the circumstances stated; the 300 yards are measured on both sides of the toll-gate. DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.—'■ Observer (Aberayron) is in- formed that if the lady had her own name inserted in the books as the purchaser she is responsible for the amount. It was very unwise to mix the accounts. She ought to have had 1 er own account kept separate. LIABILITY OF BANK.—If "Gwyrid" (Cwmtillery) will send us a full and clear statement of the facts we will advise him. lie has not given us sufficient data on which we could advise. We do not understand who has become bankrupt, nor who now holds the share certificates. M." (Pontypool).—The subject is too stale now for our columns. CONSTRUCTION OF WILL.—The will of which "W. I." (Cowbridge) has sent a copy is ambiguous. We assume that the elder children base their claim upon the fact that the will was made before the new Wills Act came Into operation, but they appear to have overlooked the reference to the death of the tenant for life as the time when the devise to the children was to take effect. It was held under the old law that a devise to persons then unborn might take effect by way of contingent remainder or executory devise. Thus, in one case, where an estate was devised to A.B. for life, and after his decease to his first born son, and A.B. had no son at the date of the will, nor at the time of the testa- tor's death, the devise was upheld by the courts, and the eldest son got the estate. We advise the younger sons to instruct a solicitor to take up the case on their behalf. We think they will be likely to succeed but when a will is not clearly drawn there is always a little risk in taking proceedings. CONSTRUCTION OF LEASE An Old Subscriber" (Caer- philly) is advised that the covenant of the lessor (if correctly quoted) would be satisfied by his painting in the third year of the term, and thenceforth every third year. The better form is to specify the years in which the painting is to be done, e.g., the first, fourth, and seventh years of the said term." INTESTACY.—" Gamer" (Ferndale) is advised that when a bachelor dies Intestate, leaving no father or mother surviving him, the personal estate must be applied- first in payment of his funeral expenses and the costs of administration of his estate; next in payment of his debts; and then the surplus (if any) is divisible among all the brothers and sisters in equal shares but if any should have died leaving lawful issue, such issue will in each case take the share of their parent equally divided amongst them. INSOLENCE OF SCHOOLMASTER.—'• An Old Subscriber" (Newport) omitted to say how many days his child has attended school during the school year. As he did not send a copy of the letter of which he compl iinS, we are not able to judge as to its impropriety but, if he has correctly characterised it, he may complain to the School Board. "TRIO" (Angle, Pem.).-We shall certainly publish par- ticulars of the Derby in Thursday's Western Mail. ALPHA" (Swansea).—We do not give opinions as to the bonafid.es of any institution. VESTRY MEE;TIIG. X. Y. Z." (Liani-ghen) is informed that a tenant whose rates are paid by his landlord is entitled to vote at a vestry meeting. Is this what he wished to know? If not, he may write again and explain. Loss OF DEPOSITS.—We could not advise W. T. M." (Ebbw Vale) w thout knowing something about the constitution and rules of the so-called bank. We think it most likely that the managers will pay, so as to save the depositors from loss. But, probably, there may be no legal liability on their part; we cannot guess at this.

The question is not now a public one, and you cast Imputations, upon the management which we doubt whether we would print even with your own name attached-most cer- tainlv not without. "YOUNG FARMER" (Swansea).—The old method to ward off attack in cases of Black-leg or Quarterill used to be bleeding t,he young animals copiously on the approach of autumn, or the season when they were usually most liable to be attacked, and after bleeding to Insert a setor into the dewlap. But. this is rather bar- barons treatment, and a far better remedy would pro- pably be that of giving the calves or yearlings some mild tonic as the season approaches when they are usually attacked. and continue to give it them regularly every day, or every other day. Thorley's food, which, no doubt, has an active tonic prin- ciple, has been recommended as a preventive where young cattle are liable to the disease, but most likely any tonic calculated to purify the blood would do as well. It is seldom it can be cured by any means after once making its appearance; the remedy must, consequently be preventive. The disease must be oc- casioned either by the water they drink or some weed in their pastures, for there are numerous districts where it is unknown. We would be inclined to give them green food in a house or yard throughout one entire season just to see if it were the pasture that oc- casioned it, and if sufficient rainwater could be col- lected in a cistern for them to drink it would be seen whether the mineral properties of the spring water of the district caused it or not.

DR. REES AND ENDOWMENTS; TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY MArL," Sm,-A correspondent asked Dr. Rees a few days ago in your columns if it is true that he is receiving;C20 from a certain endowment now in the hands of the Unitarian body. I have been looking daily for a reply, but hitherto in vain. I now wish to ask him if it is true that he is receiving L60 a year from the said endowment fund? Dr. Daniel Williams left the endowment for poor ministers in Wales; that is, for ministers whose services are rendered to small Churches, and whose stipend consequently will not allow them to bring up their families in comfort. Now, I wish to ask, Is Dr. Rees's Church one of these small Churches? He boasted in his speech-the same speech in which he pronounced all endow- ments a curse-of the largeness of its collections- Is he one of the poor ministers for whose benefit Dr. Williams left the property? The public expects Dr. Rees to answer the above questions. —Waiting his reply, I am, &c., Cardiff. CONSISTENCY.

ILLEGAL DISTRESS CASE AT SWANSEA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WEEKLY MAIL." SIR,-I beg you will correct the suggestion in your report of this case that it is legal to put in a distress at twelve o'clock on the day when the rent becomes due. This was the mistake that brought about the unfortunate circumstances detailed in the case. Rent is not in arrear until after the last minute of the day on which it is payable, and a distress cannot be levied until the following day.— I am, ke., A LAWYER. May 26.

THE CHURCH WELSH PRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY MAIL." SIp,-If the committee just appointed to confer with the four Welsh Bishops on the above subject decide upon giving the cold shoulder to the exist- ing Welsh magazines and start a new one, kindly allow me to suggest a name. Two names have already been advocated in the Western Mail, viz., Y Brialli and Yr Egltoys Gymreig. I have nothing much to say against either of these names, but, as the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas very properly remarked, there is a great charm about a pretty name." And I feel quite convinced that both the above names lack this charm. However, there will be no harm done in my suggesting another name. The com- mittee will thus have a list of names before them to pick and choose from. The name I suggest is A wel y Dydd, Our best scholars, competent to give an opinion, say that Awel y dydd" is far more faithful to the original than The cool of the day which we fina in our authorised version of the Bible in the English language. The S.P.C.K." have already adopted a name similar to the one I propose, "The dawn of day." You, too, if I remember right, use as a heading for certain articles in the Weekly Mail a phrase bearing the same import, Æolus, or the way the wind blows." The phrase Awel y dydd," to my mind, is much prettier than any of those. I maintain that it has a great charm about it in meaning and form. I am not at all afraid of entering Awel y dvdd" for com- petition with those names already advocated in your paper, and shall be most pleased to abide by the decision of the committee.—I am, &c., Gower Road, May 22.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH ON THE SHIPPING BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WEEKLY MAIL." SIR,-Kindly afford us part of your valuable space in order to ensure due publicity to the fol- lowing facts, which will serve to correct the gross misrepresentations made by the misleading state- ments of Mr. Chamberlain in his speech to the House of Commons on Monday night. Mr. Chamberlain stated that the steamship Coldra was insured for £ 9,C(00, and her value was £ 6,000, but how anyone, unless totally unpractical, could compute the then value of a boat of 1,000 tons cargo capacity at £ 6,000 that had but fifteen months previously been re-classed, undergone thorough overhaul, renewals, and heavy repairs we are at a loss to comprehend, and, if any oppor- tunity is given us before a Select Committee, we can prove that a sister boat of same age was sold shortly afterwards for ;Clo,ooO, which completely swamps Mr. Chamberlain's gross misrepresenta- tion of value. As regards the steamship Verdi, which Mr. Chamberlain values at Zll,500, the loss of this ship, instead of a gain, was a serious misfortune to the owners, who, although they recovered 914,848, did not recover her value, and this is borne out by the fact that we replaced her at the rate of X13 11s. per ton for a larger boat as against JE12 8s. per ton the cost of the Verdi, and the earliest date for delivery we could get was thirteen to fourteen months from date of her loss. We also replaced the Coldra with a new boat, at a cost of £ 12 16s. per ton. How, in the face of the foregoing considerations, therefore, the loss of such boats, earning the large profits these ahioa were. and having contracts at high rates of freight still to execute, could possibly be a source of gain to any interested wo leave it to your readers to judge. The Board of Trade are aware that both thesa losses, which, we may add, were strandings (and not. as Mr. Chamberlain put it, went to the: bottom," evidently with the intention of conveying to the public that the ships were unseaworthy), the Verdi in the Bristol Channel and the Coldra at Passages, Spain, were quite beyond our control. After making so many mis-statements, surely Mr. Chamberlain cannot in honour refuse ship. owners due examination before a Select Com- mittee, and which we trust the House of Commons will, by their vote on Mr. Palmer's motion, insist upon.—We are, &c., STEPHENS, MAWSON, and GOSS.

RATES IN CARDIFF: TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY MAIL." STR,-Will you kindly allow me space in youf valuable columns to call the attention of the rate" payers to another increase in our shamefully high rates and assessments? These frequent advances in the assessments show that it is high time the ratepayers of Cardiff rose up in a bodv, and made a dead strike against them/and met the increased demand with a refusal to pay one farthing. People can scarcely live now, and keep a roof over theic heads; and what will be the suffering with a still further advance of rates and taxes ? It is nothing more uor less than extorting life money, or blood money it might be called, from the bones of the poor. It means an advance of house rent to the poorest labouring man; for are there not many smail four-roomed cottages (take Bedford-street, for in, stance) which were built to be let at 5s. per week now letting at 7s. per week ? This advance in rent has been caused wholly and solely through the frequent rise in the assessments, a: I what is the consequence ? Overcrowding. Poor people must, and do, huddle together, living two families. besides lodgers, in the same small liouse-tiiuq risking life and health to enable them to pay tho exorbitant rents. Another advance in rents means still more overcrowding. What wonder that we get fevers ? Again, in larger houses families are frequently being sold up for rent, because the land-* lords keep raising them on account of the enor» mous assessments, and consequent heavy rates. Verily, these rate assessors will have something to answer for, sooner or later, for their cruel oppression of the poor. If they are determined to starve us out of house and home the sooner they get the workhouse made larger for our reception the better, for if they go on as they do, raising the assessments, they will soon have half of us there. Is it not enough to make our blood boil to see that Mr. Howells is to be presented with Y,100, besides JE15 pocket expenses, out of our hard earnings, for the assistance he has rendered in raising our rates and taxes until we shall no longer be able to live? It is all very fine for the Assessment Committee to say, 11 We assess your house according to its rent," because every time they raise the assessment up goes the rent. Of that fact they are, no doubt, fully aware. And it. appears there is to be no end to this cruel tyranny" and oppression. The assessments have now again been put up to meet the deficiency in the water rate brought about by the action of Mr. Weavet against the corporation, who can no longer charge extra for baths; so that we are to pay a still heavier poor rate, board of health rate, and watet rate, which is a downright imposition. Surely we are not going to quietly endure this. Why have we not a Ratepayers' Protection Society to act ag a check upon the extravagant expenditure of tha corporation ?-I am, &c., A RATEPAYER.

THE WELSH SUNDAY CLOSING ACT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY MAIL." SIR,-Permit me through your most valuablt paper to state that in my candid opinion the time has most certainly arrived when we, as the pith and marrow of the Principality, should rise in one mass to protest against our liberties being tairipered with any longer. I assist my employer to live in luxury I assist in supporting our most Gracious Majesty the Queen; I help by my mental and physical labour the welfare of the community at large, and I ask any man whose mind is not preju. diced why I should be deprived of a fresh-drawn glass of ale for my dinner and supper without having, as it were, to smuggle it home of a Satur- day night in a bottle, as if I was someone trying to evade the law. Mr. Editor, we as working-men have suffered this farce of legislation long enough. I am perfectly convinced our views were not fairly represented when this Act was passed. I intend to convene three working-men public meetings to express my views more fully on the subject. We want, and we must have, the houses open on Sun- days from 1.0 to 2 30 p.m., and from 7.0 to 10 0 p.tD< —I am, &c., A WORKING MAN. Canton.

JUSTICES' APPOINTMENTS AT SWANSEA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY MAIL." SIR,-l read with surprise in your paper of the 24th of May a hst of New Magistrates for Gla- morgan," all in the vicinity of Swansea, where, it would appear, there was already a redundancy, some of a class never intended by nature or educa- tion "to grace the bench of justice." The names appear to be all, but one, those of men who are in the ordinary trades of the district. I know some- thing of the Lord-Lieutenant, who is, or was, a highly-educated and intelligent man, now, I regret to say, over 80 years of age, and possibly led astray I in hisselection by political sycophants around him, who thus succeed in obtaining rewards for their friends' services on grounds which, I think, in earlier years, would not have been so easily palmed off on our able chief. I have no personal know- ledge of more than one of the gentlemen named, and, fearing I may have taken a wrong view of the others and the means of their nominations, I beg that, with your superior knowledge of the county and pirtiep, vou will kindly enlighten me if there is any unusual qualifications or erudi- tion in the scale to justify the addition of tha trade element in the selection of justices around Swansea. I used to be told it was necessary to he possessed of independent property, a gentlemanly education, and some local status to entitle gentlol men to be placed on the commission of the peacet where the society of perfect gentlemen is generally looked for.—I am, &c., AN OLD J.P.

PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO GIRALDUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" WEEKLY An" SIR,—Permit me a small space in your widely, circulated paper to bring forward the claims of the eloquent writer and antiquarian, Giraldus. He has for the last 40 years ably and unceasingly laboured on behalf of the Church in Wales and for the advancement of Conservatism. He has written to all our Church periodicals—English and Wel8h- under various names, e.g., Giraldus," Rheidiol, Craigyfoelallt," &c., and is, I believe, at the pre- sent time the only layman in South Wales who habitually does so. When the majority of Church- men were not half awake to the interests of the Church his was the pen which wrote, with un" flagging zeal, stirring and eloquent articles, which have been productive of much good. Giraldus is now suffering from a paralytic seizure, and I consider the present a fitting tirn0 for Churchmen and Conservatives to show their appreciation of his valuable and untiring service-4 by presenting him with a testimonial. It has been said, and I fear with too much truth, that the Church has often neglected the very persons who have done the most work for her at any rate it IS I true of us all that we are more ready to garnish the graves of our dead benefactors than to praise the virtues of our living ones. I hope such will not be the case with regard to Giraldus.—I am, Ac., I A BRECONSHIRE RECTOK.

SERIOUS ROBBERY BY YOUTHS AT LLANELLY. On Wednesday, at the Llanelly Petty Sessional Court (before Mr. R. Nevill, chairman, Mr. R. Maclaran, and Mr. C. W. Gaussen), John Warlow, 18, William John Jones, 17, David William?, 17. and William Davies, 18, were charged with steal- ing 10lbs. 14ozs. of tobacco and fourteen bottles of wine, from a truck at the New Dock, the property of the Great Western Railway Company. Mr. W • Robinson Smith prosecuted, and Mr. D. Randel'f Llanelly, defended. All the defendants pleaded guilty. In order to mitigate the penalty Mr. Smitfc stated that he would reduce the charge to stealing nine bottles of wine and lOlbs. of tobacco, so that the value might not exceed JE2, as the company were not desirous of pressing the charge. The de- fendants were engine cleaners in the employ oj the company, and worked at the engine-shed at the New Dock. It appears that a truck waS stationed at the docks, which contained a quantity of tobacco consigned to Mr. Hughes, Llandilo, and a quantity of raisin wine for Mr. J. PricOt Llandovery. On the 15th instant defendant^ discovered the contents of the truck, and a small quantity was taken. The following evening the remainder of the goods was stolen Defendants had disposed of the major quantity Of the tobacco to some friends. Some of it waS handed to Inspector Davies by the mothers of Reee and Jones. The wine had been drunk at varioLlA times by the defendants. One of the defendantS, Davies, also tapped a cask of beer which was in the van, and a quantity of that was also taken. Tile Bench, after a retirement of ten minutes, inflicted a fine of Y,5, inclusive of costs, upon each of th6 defendants, or in default one month's impris?0' ment. The court was crowded during the hearioS of the case.

POLICE BUSINESS AT TREHERBEBf; IMPORTANT DEPUTATION TO THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE. On Wednesday a deputation from Treherb?^ consisting of Messrs. Curnew Williams, Stewa^ f Hotel; Evans, Bute Hotel; Walters, grocer M. O. Jones, schoolmaster, waited on the s pendiary magistrate at Pontypridd for the PurP°Tj of recommending that a police-court shoultl be bed) at Treherbert on alternate Mondays with Ysti'» In reply, his worship said it would be impossip:^ for him to do anything without consulting brother magistrates. It occurred to him that his predecessor, Mr. Gwilym Williams, who so knew the district, and knew all the reqo11:^ ments of the locality, felt it desirable to rem0^. the courts from Treherbert and hold then1 Ystrad, he (the stipendiary) must assume that opinion was well founded. He would not do ISLO thing withotit consulting his learned brother* well as every magistrate on the bench. He did know that he had the power to act without t" but even if he had he would not think of doinS .tjj, The only consideration which would weigh him, and with his brother magistrates, woul D<f the public convenience. If on inquiry they ceof that it would be to the interest and convenience tlts the public to accede to the request of the dep 03 tion he would hold the courts at Treherbert- could not say more than that.
