CARDIFF MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
CARDIFF MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Sir Joseph Barnby Ends the Examina- tion for Chorus. The examination for candidates for the fes- tival chorus was held on Wednesday and Thurs- day at the School of Music, Queen-street, by Sir Joseph Barnby. Nearly 350 applications had been received, and the examinations occu- pied the greater part of both days. The teet was a simple one, each candidate being re- cluired to sing an ordinary scale and to read at sight a few bars of a part-song not previously known to him. Sir Joseph expressed himself pleased at the good average qua.lity of the voices, but the standard of reading ability was not equal in proportion. The result of the test will be made known in about- a fortnight, and an opportunity cf passing a supplementary test will be afterwards given to those who were prevented from attending this week, and also, in case the lists should not be then filled, to i any singers possessing good voices and fair reading abilities who have not already made application. The council intend to adhere rigidly to their determination to admit no one to the chorus who has not undergone a suffi- oient test, and among the candidates who were examined by Sir Joseph were several members of the council itself. It is intended to cem- mence the rehearsak early in October.

CARDIFF'S IMMORALITY.I
CARDIFF'S IMMORALITY. I Here's a Vigorous Challenge to Mr. I' Percy Thomas. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS." Sir,—My attention has been called to a letter in to-day's "Western MaiL" written by a Air. G. Perc-v Thomas, and in the first para- graph I find the words "palaver, a good deal of ignorance, and very little satisfactory re- sult. This is a tsample of the language used by a Christian-model-up-to-date-jMritj'-man when speaking of the Cardiff Town Council. Sir, I do not claim to have any practical experience of, or personal acquaintance with, professional prostitution, and will admit that ignorance in sueh a matter is bliss, but I aeoept Mr. Percy Thomas's invitation to go 011 an inspest-ioii of the town (3tOf<wuJ-v'tnii.d by the head-constable), and will give this gentle- man every opportunity of proving his absurd statement that there are 6.000 fallen women in Cardiff. Mr. Thomas furt-ber asks for a practical exhibition of a- desire to suppress immorality. Let him first prove the state- ment above referred to, and I herewith enclose my cheque for JS20, which you are at liberty to hand to any charitable insti- tution in Cardiff if he succeeds in proving to your satisfaction that there are 2,500 fallen women in Cardiff, which gives him a margin of 500 below his assertion. Should ha fail. I hope he will hand over a like amount, and henceforth hold his peace. I efrumate there are 30,000 adult women in Cardiff, and this man asserts that 10 per cent, of these are prostitutes. "Alas', for the rarity of Christian charity under the sun." If Mr. Percy Thomas would learn the doctrine of Christian charity, and (instead of advertising and magnifying the social sore of the town) would quietly go about doing good, it would be far better tlian wasting his time in slander- ing the wives, mothers, and sisters of some of the poor people of Cardiff—a town which may be no tetter, but is certainly no worse, than the average seaport. In reference to satisfying my constituents. I have endeavoured to do my duty to them, and if Mr. Percy Thomr.s will arrange an open- air meeting in my ward (there is no hall large enough for the purpose) I will attend and prove to his satisfaction what my constituents think of mv conduct in the counc.il chamber. He is certainly not one of the people I repre- sent. This kivd of thing is imported. It is not of native growth. In conclusion, I challenge, the secretary of the puriity society to prove three statements: — 1. That the mayor ever consented to become president of his society. 2. To prove there are anything like 3.000 fallen women in Cardiff. o. To prcdtice the names of the competent and energetic members of the Cardiff Police Force who have stated that his estimate wa^ true. If he fails to prove these statements then the public, can decide for themselves lyow far this man's wild utterances are worthy of cre- dence. and he will be known henceforth as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. I pro- test- most strongly against the howling down and persecution of these poor, unfortunate crea- tures, remembering the Lines. "Still, for all slips of hers, one of Eve's family.—I am. &c..

ACCIDENT TO A FARMER. Towards midnight on Thursday, as Mr. David Davies, a farmer, living at Stumpy Hall. near Barry, wa.s driving home from the Cardiff Horse Show, he alighted at Cadoxton, where he stayed for SOlne time. Proceeding home- wards some time afterwards, he accidentally fell out of the vehicle, and sustained severe injuries to the head, necessitating the services of Dr. P. J. O'Donnell, of Cadoxton, being requisi- tioned, and that gentleman placed a numhf-r of stitches in the wounds. On Friday afternoon Mr. Davies was progressing satisfactorily.

BURIED ALIVE.
BURIED ALIVE. The Alleged Carelessness of Medical Men. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS." Sir,—The trrue^ome letter in your issue of to-day on the subject of quick interment is one calculated to fill very lliany minds with horrid misgivings; and, perhaps, occasion much unnecessary alarm. I have long thought that there is need of drastic burial reform, but not on account of the danger that "M.A.. Cantab," discusses at such length, and with evident intent to create a morbid sensation. There are few cases, I imagine, in which corpses do not show unmistakable signs of decomposition before they are borne to their la-st resting- place. and decomposition, of course, is an injailible.a^ui-anee, of ab-^lnte decease. If there should be any doubt in the miDdi: of the bereaved they would naturally wait for these signs before consigning their dear departed to earth. This may be an un- pleasant alternative, but it is at least a safe cne. As to the alleged laxity of doctors, this is a matter which could very easily be set right. The signature of the death certi- ficate ought to be attested to in the place where the body is lying, and should not be recognised as a legal document otherwise. Men who have extensive practices invariably employ a^sistajits, and if they do not it is their own look-out. Xo excuse should be allowed to exempt a doctor from the exact fulfilment of so serious a responsibility. If the onus of a person being buried alive rested upon him who had charge of the case, and the penalty were made sufficiently severe, such frightful possibilities would be quite rare enough to set all fear at rest; for a properly qualified man who cannot discriminate between life and death is certainly unfit for his posi- tion, and it is difficult to believe that there are such. Carelessness, under the circum- stances. is simply monstrous, and should be punishable, as any other manslaughter iE. when disastrous results a-rke from it. On the subject of burial reform, to which I have alluded, a great deal might be written and said over and above what has already been ursed without much effect, I am sorry to say. Personally, I aiii in favour of crema- tion, and consider that many evil consequences might be averted by the clean and speedy process. Supers dtious prejudice seems to be the only obstacle to it as a general practice, but I have no doubt that the great advance of education will open people's eyes to the fact that the vast increase of population demands a speedier and less repulsive form of dissolution.—I am, &e..

6.0M. OF AUSTRALIA.
6.0M. OF AUSTRALIA. Sir Henry Parkes Once Lived in Glamorganshire. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPItESS," Sir.—In "Pearson Monthly" for August there is re-produeed from the "Westminster Gazette" an article 011 the "G. O. M." cf Australia --Sir Henry Parkes. Therein Sir Henry's own words are quoted as to his boyhood, and among other interesting matter be says: —"When I was a youngster of nine my father removed again to Glamorganshire, South Wales. It was an unfortunate step, for the farm he took there did not succeed. My experiences at that time were those of a country boy wan- dering about the fields and the woods. We lived near the little town of Cowbridge. not far from the coast of the Bristol Channel. and we afterwards removed to the city of Glou- cester. where I went to work," The writer of the article states that, time after time Sir Henry has been asked for par- ticulars of his early life, but lie always shook his head. He has written a detailed account of his youth, which, however, lie intends to burn before he dies. "Mine was not a happy boy- hand." he said recently; "I had no com- panions." It is not, perhaps, a desirable thing to drag before the public a history that those most concerned wish to hide. but I cannot help thinking that the boyhood of a person of Sir Henry's eminence should be of such interest as to justify an exception therefore. I appeal to your numerous readers if they know any- thing of a lad of the name of Henry Parkes that came, with his parents a nine year old lad to the neighbourhood of Cowbridge about the year 182t-I sun, &c..

The amount, of liabilities is not very great, and the sympathy of commercial men generally is expressed with Mr. Thomas in his present difficulties. The failure has not been brought about by any speculation on the part of Mr. Thomas himself, but by the inability of others to meet their engagements.
The Late Lord Coleridge
The Late Lord Coleridge REMINISCENCES BY LORD RUSSELL. England's Lord Chief Justice Tells b Some Interesting Stories About His Distinguished Predecessor. Lord Russell of Killowen contributed to tha September n timber of the "North Americaa lleview" a most charming series of remini- scences of his distinguished predecessor. Lord: Coleridge, interweaving numerous interesting critical estimates. He passes over, with simple mention, the foundation oi .<-oro Coleridge's scholarship and literary tastes at Eton and Balliol, and was up his career at his call t-cv the Bar in 1847. At this time Coleridge' father. Sir John, was still on the bench. Be- sides the reputation of ripe scholarship. Cole- ridge brought with him from the Oxford Union to the Bar "the promise of remarkable gifts of speech." "To these," says Lord' Russell, "he added a distinguished presence, -and a voice the beauty of which I have not often known surpassed. Indeed, if I except the voices of perhaps Sir Alexander Cockburn,: Mr. Gladstone, the present Sir Robert Peed, and the late Father Burke of the Dominican Order, I shall have exhausted the list of thotve who may be said to have been his superiors in this respect." He rose rapidly, though it was not till he was a law officer that his income "approached that of many men in general practice at the Bar in recent times." The Western Cttcuit did not bring him the hoavy commercial work which abounded at the Guildhali aid on the Northern Circuit, but after he took silk in 1861 ''there were but few causes ceiebres in which his services were not eagerly sought after." Lord Slusseil of Killowen refers specially to three, such causes in which he himself also played a part. One of these was Saurin v. Starr. u famous con- vent case. The character of thte evidence may be illustrated by an amusing incident which occurred in the course of the cross-examination by Sir. Coleridge of Mrs. Kennedy, a lady who held the office of Mistress of Nov ices. Mrs. Kennedy m/;mionecL aJnong other pecca-- dilloes. that on :me occasion she had found Miss Saurin in the pantry eating strawberries when she ought :0 have been attending to a class of poor children, or some such duty. TJia cm-.s-eKanuni-uqior; proceeded thus: — Mr. C-oieridgfe: "Eating strawberries, r&ally!" Mrs. Kennedy; "Yes. sir. she was eating ttrawberries. Mr. C'olendtre: "How shocking!" idd Mrs. Kennedy: "It was forbidden, mr." Mr. Coleridge: "And did you. Mrs. h.en-" nedy. really consider there was any harm iir- that?" Mrs. Kennedy: "No, air. not in ivelp any more than there was any harm ir. eating' an apple: but you know, sir, the nuschiee^ that came from that." In the course of his reply. Mr. Coleridg^ was severe upon the ladies of tht for the serious vi&w they took of the most$ trivial things, and. wlule admitting the "oøi work that they accomplished, attacked them with bitterness in relation, to their conduot. towards the plaintiff. It was an impressive and1 powerful speech. One flash in it I can re-call. "Gentlemen." he said, "I cannot help thinking that- people who devote themselves to that life imitate too exclusively one part of the life of our Divine Lord. and forget the -ather- they remember and imn..ate the forty days in the wilderness and t.he lonely hours in the garden and on the mountain, and they fail te bear in mind the marriage of Cana and the Feast of Bethany." He obtained a verdiot- for his client. Lord Russell inevitably affords entertaining glimpses of other distinguished lawyers of Coleridge's time, notably of Mr. George (asfterwards Lord Justice) Mellish, Sir Alexan- der Cockbum, and Sir John Kai>lake. Mr. Karsiake, afterwards Sir John Kars- lake, was Mr, Coleridge's great rival at the Bar they were great friends as well as great rivals. But were men of fine presence. Mr, Karslake. however, being the taller. He was once described in a We,stern Circuit paper » "rising at great length to reply on the part"t j of the plaintiff: and a story is handed down*. 1 from the time of Lord Chief Justice Campbell (for the truth of which I do not vouch) in con- nection with him and Mr. Sam Joyce, who was* as remarkably short as Mr. Karslake was re-* markably long. It was motion day in the Queen's Bench, and on Mr. Joyce's rising to address the court, with his head ju«t appear- >-ing above the l>ench in front of the Bar, Lord Campbell said— "Mr. Joyce, when counsel address the court! it is usual for counsel to stand up." "My lord," protested Mr- Joyce, "I aJXt standing up." A little later Mr. Karslake rose from a. bench at the back of the court, which, sloping upwards, gave him even greater apparent alti- I, tude than hi possesjvcc. Thereupon Lord- 'Ca.np1..ell i" said to have remarked :— "Mr. Kiyslake. although it is usual for- -couiisel to stand up when addressing the court, it 1:0 not necessary for them to stand on the benches. Coleridge and great friends as well as great rivals, have often been compared and con'rast-ed. The great Tichborne case-can not be kept out of any account of Coleridge. The Bar have pro- nounced the most widely divergent opiniona on his cross-examination of the Claimant- FcØf my own part (says Lord Russell) I thought it, and still think it, the best thing he ever did. It was not a cross-examination calculated, nor 'o should I think even intended, for immediat* effect. But it was one. the full force and effect of which could only be appre- ciated when the facts, as they ultimately ap- peared in the defendant's case. were finally disclosed. When, indeed, the subsequent prosecution for perjury took place, it was then seen how thorough and searching that cross- examination had been how. in effect. if I may use a fox-hunting metaphor, all the earths had been effectually stopped. I am glad to find that my opinion of that cross- pxamicaition has recently been corroborated by so eminent a.n authority as the Master of the Rolls, Lord Esher- Lord Coleridge had great influence wi. juries, and also treated them with great cour- tesy and consideration. He made it clear what his own view of a ca?e was. while careful to remind jurors that it was their right and duty to determine disputed questions of fact. Herein tie acted upon Bacon s celebrated adviop the was a constant reader of Bacon) to Mi. Justice Hutton. "You should be a light to juron: to open their eyes, but not a. guide to lead them. by their noses." A most graceful acknowledgment of Lord Coleridge's considerate kindness, and of his earnest, discharge of hU judicial duty, closes one of the most d is tin.cnjished papers in the periodicals of the month :-Few men in liis position are without enemies, and he was no exception to the general rule. For myself. I knew him as a kind. considerate, and generous friend, steady in his friendships, and probably constant, also, in his dislike*. There are many now living who have ex- perienced kindness at his hands. and who can. recall, as I ca.n. words of encouragement spoken in times of doubt and difficulty. The-p count for much in the early career of a barrister struggling to merge from the unknown crowd. No one. however will gainsay that by his death a great figure has passed away. He wan intellectually, as lie was phy'sically. head nd shoulders above the average of his con- temporaries. He had a high sense, of the diimitv of his great office and of its great im- portance. For above twenty years he sat upon the judicial bench, and I believe that during that long period he did honestly strive "to do right to all manner of peoplea after the laws and usages of this realm, without few <JI inTeoticm or ill-will.
