WILLENHALL VACANCY. An Official Notification of the Elec- tion. The onictai liotification of this election has befeh i-tec^ived, and the bills ptteted on, the iijhe- tee'h church au«d chapel doors of the teWnSaip. There is something quaint in its phraseology, whioh runs that tile steward (Mr. H. Eive), acting on behalf of the lords .of the manor, will n attend at the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking (subjeot to the presentation and allow- ance of the lords of the manor) the choice, nomination, and appointment of a stipendiary priest, minister, or curate for the saying of Divine service, ministering the Holy Sacra- nientfe, and doing all such duties in the Chapel of Willenliall (ppnlmonly known as the parish dfeiiroh of &t. Giles) as do or shall belong to his ministry or Fubctioli." The voters are, to further quote from the same source, "the in- i.5»;">itaais of- ^IknL.tll, btiiiy sufficient householders and .having laiids of inheritance there." and that "the poll, for the purpose of the s&id notidihiitioh will be open at ten in the inornibg arid close at six p.m. of the saine day." A memorial in favour of Mr. Rosedàle ha,, received the signatures of 250 of those present at last Monday's congregational meeting, and additional signatures are being daily received. All the most influential of the seat-holders have signed. A public meeting is being arranged for early .MXt week, at which Mr. RdsërMle is expeofeil to be present. A well-attended oommitteft meeting wse held on Thursday evening in the interests of this rev. gentleman. The Rev. W. L. Ward has not addressed any public meeting, and it is not probable he will do so, relying upon the personal canvass he aas conducted and the general knowledge he possesses of the elec- torate.

CANADIAN TRADE. General Laurie Interests Himself in the Matter. At the general meeting of the Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven Chamber of Commerce held on Wednesday, Mr. H. A. Jones-Lloyd (vile- president) in the chair, General Laurie de- 0 livered a long address relative to the proposed fast line of steamers which is to be formed between Halifax or Quebec and a port in Eng- land or Wales. He said Mr. Hubbart. the pro- moter of the company, was now in England, and the oonipaiiy woiild be formed frith a capital of £ 2,000,000. He (General Laurie) had had an interview with Mr. Hubbart, who had promised to come down and see Milford Haven. Mr. Hnbbart wanted to find out the port that could receive an inward cargo of 3.000 tons and supply an otitward cargo of the same quantity every week. He (General Laurie) said he had succeeded m getting a promise that no port would be selected until Milford Hsiven had been visited, so that their port might have a. chance. He mentioned that the South Eastern Railway Company was alive to this, and liad purchased the Sbuthainptoii Docks. He had also Ifeen exerting himself tq fret the Great Railway Company to take equal in- tere6t in upholding the claims of Milford Haven. ,< :r'

A FRENCHMAN'S COMPLAINTS, Says Too Many.Naval Orders Come to England. A Paris telegram on Thursday through Renter says:—The Justice this morning publishes a letter from a naval officer at Cher- bourg complaining that the Ministry of Marine gives too many orders to British firms. The result of this, he says, is that the Chinese, Japanese, Chilians, and other foreigners, argbing that the firms which supply France are the first in the world, also send their orders to England. The officer, in conclusion, demands that the Ministry should be prohibited from purchasing abroad war materiel which can be procured in France. '> -+ .If

CARDIFF'S MEMBER. Probable that Sir Edward Reed Wiii Not Stand Again. Outr London correspondent telegraphs :—i am indebted to the editor of the "Morning'" for permission to forward you the following information, which will appear in his issue of to-morrow (Friday): — "Sir Edward Reed has taken to patronising the Government to such an alarming extent that it is commonly supposed he has secured the promise of appointment, and, at any rate, the Radicals of Cardiff do not expect that he will stand again. Sir Edward's retirement would be a misfortune for Mr. Maclean, the late member for Oldham. and the (\n^erviiitc- tntadida*-Cswditf, « he would almost certainly unseat the member. The constituents do not appreciate independence, which they are too apt to call disloyalty, still less do they admire wobbling. Sir Edward Reed is a very clever man. He has written poetry and novels, and is an en- gineer. But he has wobbled woefully over tbe Home Rule question, and it is not, there- fore, surprising that his name was received [ with hisses at a Radical meeting in his con- stituency. Mr. Maclean is also a very able man. He was for many years editor of the Bombay GasSette," arid is now one of the proprietors of the great Conservative orga.n of the West, of which the headquarters are at Cardiff. He has a profound knowledge of Indian affairs, and is a shrewd business nun. If anybody can win Cardiff for the Unionists it is Mr. Maclean. Of course, it is impossible to say what effect Mr. Gladstone's retirement may have had upon Sir Edward Reed's mind. As the present Prime Minister has declared that Home Rule cannot be carried until the English minority is converted into a majority, the member for Cardiff may have become a stal- wart supporter of the Government."

WORKHOUSE SCANDAL. Grave Charges are Made at Newton Abbot. Lord Courtenay. Local Government In- spector, opened an inquiry at Newton Abbot on Thursday into grave complaints which have been brought against, the management of the local workhouse. Witnesses were called and deposed that the "jumper," a sort of sack used for purposes similar to that of the strait-waistcoat, was in constant use in the workhouse; that aged inmates had been placed in it naked, and then tied to the iron of the bedsteads. A Mrs. Bovey died five days after confinement in1* tlie "jumper," and she was actually tied down within a few hours of her death. Other witnesses alleged that the wards of the workhouse were in a filthy condition, and many of the inmates infested with vermin. A nurse; Alice Hinton, wearer of the bronze medal of the Workhouse Nursing Association, who joined the staff of Newton Workhouse on December 28 last, deposed to many of the foregoing facts. One in,mate named Mrs. Nickells, the nurse said, she fdund apparently dying. The woman was very dirty and covered with vermin. Her hair had been cut off, and her toe-nails were like claws, being two-and-a-half inches long.'l'lie sanitary arrange- ments ill same of the Wards were filthy. Another wc.ma.n who \vas paralysed had her linger nails so long that they had made wounds in her flesh In passing through the yard the nurse said she saw an idiot woman crouched in a comer with her face bruised, The guardians had built a shed for Her in the yard, and witness had noticed that tlie bÓ-V8 threw stones attd snow- balls at her. When the master's son was at home he was the ringleader. The boys Said that they pelted the uld woinnn to make her speak. The witness alleged that the .matron neglected her duties, and that (hmng the three months slie (Witness) reiiiSined at the work- house the, matron was ohly five tirnfes in the sick ward to her knowledge. It was further alleged that the fighting among the idiots was especially dreadful on Sunday mornings, when the matron was in bed. and Nurse Hinton added that she had also complained to the matron of the immorality that was going on amongst the inmates.—The inquirv wa0!3 ad- journed. It is expected to last a week. as there are upwards of 60 witnesses to be called. :7

MERTHYR'S MEMBERS. £ A Humorous Sketch of the Two y Rivals. a g] The Evening News and Post" say#: It is generally understood that Mr. Pritohard I Morgan has discovered a very big mare's neet indeed, and he has been chaffed a good deal in the lobby about his alleged breach of privi- lege motion. Mr. Morgan, however, affects to y be in deadly earnest, and he has about him the air of a man who is going to undertake the herculean task of reforming the House of Commons all round. Mr. Morgan eita for Merthyr Tydfil. His colleague in the repre- e: sontation of tha.t fearfully benighted oifcv of tI Radicalism is Mr. D. A..Thomas, who as a ti Radical colliery owner is leading the opposi- IT tion to the Eight Hours Bill for Miner** MT. tl Morgan and Mr. D. A.stre daggcca w drawn towards one aiiotbei-, STiiJ-?br ýc.:uo¡, thoy p were not on bare speaking terms in or out i of the House of Commons. Mr. D. A. tl Thomas is understood to have got the whip p hand, for he made Mr. Morgan vote against tl the Miners Bill when it last came up in the w House of Commons, though that gentleman is tl an eight hours day man. Mr. /Pritohajd Mor- a gan has been called the "Welsh Gold King." si If he had his way he would commence baring a I nearly everywhere for gold. He firmly b believes it exists in paying- quantities in the £ West of England, as well as in Wales and f. Ireland. His own mine is still worked, and 1: he is always teasing the Chancellor of the i Exchequer about royalties. He hates the 1 Woods and Forests Department, and the feel- s ing is mutual. Mr. D. A. Thorn2*, by the y way. is resolved, we believe, to stick to hie colours in the matter of the Miners' Eight (J Hours Day Bill. He has, he says, the man- b at, date to do so from his own constituents, amd, as he had a. majority of close on 10,000 at the I last election—->y far the largest in the country I -lie thinks that his attitude of uncompro- y miainp- hostility to the measure cannot be I altogether overlooked by the Government. If (t Mr. Thomas could only see it, his position is (< really very similar to those members who were > bidden by their representatives to vote for "oontracling-out." He, however, voted in a favour of coercion in that case, and, there- u fore, richly deserves the "slating" which the I Labour members and other- are giving him y for his attitude on the eight hours day que#- r< tion.

WELSH DIVORCE SUIT. il/ I Mr. Gwymie-Vaugiian at Cefn and Re- J spondent at Llanwrtyd Weils. j ti Our Llandovery correspondent writes :—The j petitioner in the late divorce suit, Mr. A. S. (I Gwynne-Vaughan, returned to Llandovery from London by the last train on Tuesday £ night and drove straight to his resi- dence, known as Cefn, which is situate in a mountainous district, and distant about five miles from this town. He was in 1 Llandovery town throughout Wednesday, and 5- looked none the worse for his experience in Lon- £ don, but seemed very disheartened. Great 0 sympathy is felt for him in this town, where he 0 has numerous friends. We are also informed a that Mrs. Gwynne-Yaughau, the respondent in r this case, returned from London to Llan- j. wrtyd Wells, distant about twelve 2 miles from Llandovery. She seemed e elated with the result of the trial. e It is rumoured, whether it be true or not, that 11 Mr. Gwynne-Vaughan intends ere long leaving t- this country for Australia, where a brother of his is at present.

f Undergroiind People." rHE LATEST THiNG 01 RUSSIAN SECTS. k Ctass who Believe that Salvation el the Soul is Obtained by AwatttRg Dfeath w a Vatilt. The very newest thing in Russian sects is su mthusiastie couimunity known as the "IIodet p-ound People," which has been reoentlv startet n the Government of Saratoif District), and is making new converts ever: lay. According to these benighted, but well neaning persons, the one thing needful to sal ration is to make as in any underground cellars, swridors, and secret hiding places as possible, wd to conceal therein all sorts and conditiour )f men, who happen, to be fieeingfrom justice Yr eluding the pursuit of the authorities—de- serters, or the passportlees, or runaways frtaa Liberia, The "Underground People" have no political convictions: they are solicitous only for the salvation of their souls, and are in suob; Serrible earnest about this all-important bus- aess of their earthly pilgrimage that most of, them literally lay down their lives in the hope )f finding them in the next world. How it w lone is this. As soon as a man, womaa, or 3hild fails ill, and is compelled to take to his )r her bed, the elders are sent for. These peasants, who are unable to read or write, meet in the hut of the patient, and, having offered up a short prayer, solemnly announce that the Lord's call must be answered in a spirit of true -esignation. Then the sick person is baptised mew, receiving a wholly different name, to which the epithet "Servant of God" must in, variably be added. Having baptised the patient and thus given him an irnsidlied namcv bhey raise him from his straw bed and carry bain down to the dark dank, dismal chambers if horrors un dor ground, the labyrinthine wind- ings of which are known only to a few. There tie is deposited in solemn silence, and left with- out food, drink, or a human companion to battle in darkness with grim death. Mean- while all his relatives who were living in the same house with him move out of it for a time. After the lapse of some days, the elders go down into the vaults and inspect the body of their newly baptised brother. If quite dead, they dig a hole for it in the garden, in the bank Boor, or in the fields: but never in the burial grounds, as this would be fraught with terrible misfortune to the Heaven-sped soul.

Lord Rosebery he malted ae htM gieat, "disapoointn.ejit, inasmuch as-he had for- saken the great Whig principles with whick both historically and from his past Parliameor tary experience he might have been expected to maintain. The coming election would be, he declared, a greater contest than 1886 or 1892, as it would in all probability be final. Thi* great electoral battle was imminent. It was also evident that the allied forces of Unionists* must rally in greater numbers than had been the case before.
