SIR,-My attention has been drawn to a para- graph relative to the above institution, in your last week's paper, which I am fortunately enabled to throw some light>pp,on, and that without much difficulty. • In the first place, the rate of interest to the depositors is £2 18s. 4d., not £ 2 18s., and this is the rate of most of the Savings Banks in the kingdom, and why they cannot give more interest is that they, only have from the government £3 5s. Od. It will be seen that the sum of 6s. 8d. per cent. is all the available sum to meet the current expences. The Merthyr Bank was established in May J 1854, and it is with reluctance I state the fact that is it indebted to the Merthyr Library for the place to hold its sittings free of rent. As to my own remuneration V*?tuarjL I feel bound to let the writer know its exa#tr Amount; otherwise it is not improbable he may consider the situation in the light of a lucrative sinecure. By calcu. lation I find that I have been paid at the rate of £5 18s. 9t M. per annum, which I trust will be satisfactory in shewing that I am not very much overpaid. I may state in conclusion tliat our' Bank is one of the four Banks in the kingdom vhere the trustees and managers have made themselves responsible for the deposits: the trus- tees to the amount of jElOO each, and the mana- gers 250, each, being in the aggregate a much larger sum than is invested in the Bank. Yours obediently, MORGAN WILLIAMS, Actuary. NOTES OF A RAMBLER, No. II. THE WELSH COLLIER. 'Tis night! We stand by a pit's mouth, seeing only the dark opening, hearing but the incessant splash of falling water, and the wind that wails and shrieks around. All else is hushed, and still, even as though the pit were a tomb. Suddenly, in the far distance, a light gleams another, ano- ther yet, the tramp of feet and sound of voices are heard, and soon from the cavern like spot come a crowd of weary toilers. Pipes are lit, lights are put out, and past us with a long slouching stride they travel homeward, houseward, lodgingward! These are the Welsh colliers. Men deserving of a "note," for without them the firesides of Englishmen and Welshmen would lack their; great attraction; denied us would be many a comfort, a. necessity, and luxury, and in the old world vehicle, and along the tedious and winding road would civilization wend, not as now, on the track of rails, with speed and tireless power. First then for the collier boy. At the present time, from the period when the exchange of neu- tral garments, equally adapted for both sexes, for those which distinguish the boy, begin to yield some concern to the parent, to his 8th or 9th year, he is placed at school, generally a cheap one, where simple rudiments are taught, some- times learnt, and as invariably forgotten a year after the school days are over. In his 10th year, and we fear often before, work is found for him, in the ccul pit or on the surface, either driving empty and laden trams to and fro, taking care of airways, or with loaded trams of shale ministering to the wants of tip girls. Blessed with a whip, and the charge of stout horses, he feels manhood is dawning-loud and strong be- come his threats to every obstinate animal, hearty the lash he gives, and very usual is it, to hear the lad swear with the gusto of a bargeman. A few years older arid he begins to trea& oil hitherto fenced ground—is admitted to th# so- ciety of older companions, and his -teachi* per- fected. If, however, at his advent into the world of toil he was blessed with religious parents, his character will become worthier than that des- cribed. We shall see him swerve from the usual path,-attend singing meetings, Sunday schools, —become a member of some Dissenting congre- gation, and eventually a zealous, worthy man, quiet and inoffensive^ If adapted, he becomes a deacon, if not, a regular attendant, en- thusiastic in devotion, hearty in singing, and sonorous and solemn in the ejaculations uttered during prayer. If he be fortunate enough to find a good helpmate, but little annoyance is found during life, save the usual and incidental troubles of every home amid our Welsh hills the sickness of self, of wife, or of children—perhaps the burial of one or more of those who had prattled around his knee-the fall in wages, the rise in provisions. Save these, troubles" enter not the humble door way—morning and noon and eve bring no anxiety, and the dawn'of Sabbath to him is ever a holy and a holiday. Years pass by. Very often we find him amongst the victims during an epidemic, still oftener do we hear that he is killed by "fall" or explosion; and rarely is it he is ever seen feeble and asthma- tic, haunting in the winter of age the old pit and scenes of his long and useful labours. If arrived at such an age, his death, when he dies, is an event;—many are those who' flock to his home, and bewail his loss.. Old Shenkyn is gone (Mae'r Hen Shincyn tuedi myn'd druan !) the passer-Jby will say to another, and far and wide the tidings are carried. At his funeral crowds assemble, and preceded by the choir of his old meeting-house, the body is carried gravewarda solemn and me- lodious is the dirge, and unaffected the lamenta- tions of the few relatives. In a rustic graveyard he is buried—perhaps a simple stone is placed there in after days, by those who loved him, and flowers are planted over the mound to be tended every spring and summer time until all who bore his name are gone. But this character is an exceptional one; for too often in youth the boy is led astray by older associates to smoke a short pipe and expectorate with freedom is the first essay; tossing follows, and drinking as a matter of course. Thus early laden with vice, little prophetic power is required to foretell his fate. Marrying early, as nearly all do, may possibly save him, if the wife be a model one: but, if otherwise, a disagreeable home, a slattern wife, and unruly children, drive him still oftener to his solace—the public-house. His con- stitution becomes injured, and even if spared by the many dangers ever lurking to assail the collier, few and fleeting and unhappy, save in hours of drunken orgies, are the years of his mispent existence. Strong in contour these two characters stand out from the great mass; for even as in the world so in the collier's community, the many are nei ther devout enough to be classed with the first, nor debased sufficiently to rank with the second. Thus neutral, it is difficult to sketch them-like the landscape painter we may pourtray the moun. tain ridge, the vale and the blue dome, with the gnarled oak and objects of interest in the limit of our view, but the blades of grass we represent in bulk; a sweep of the brush and there is given sufficient for the spectator to complete in imagina- tion. Yet, though the meadow reveals only at the first glance a blended and undistinguished collec- tion of hues and forms, a closer inapection never fails to reward the observer; beautiful are the wild flowers that lurk neath the long waving grass -types of the meek and the lowly, but chaste and graceful, meet our gaze everywhere. In like manner are we undeceived when our knowledge of the working man becomes enlarged. We glean that many a pure feeling exists, that many a good trait abounds; while here and there are traces of men cast in the true mould, but defaced by the world's rough usage, bearing still indications of what they might have been, were freedom any- thing but a name, if the distinctions of class were less cared for; if, in their youth, the world had not required that moral worth should have a po- sition and be well clothed, ere its existence could be acknowledged!

ENLARGEMENT OF THE MERTHYR TELEGRAPH. OUR readers have not failed to observe that the great increase of advertisements has lessened the space allowed for correspondence and local news so much, that our paper is now too small to meet the requirements of this large and increasing town. Under these circumstances arrangements are being made for a considerable enlargement, and which it is intended shall take place the first week in January next.
'TO CORRESPONDENTS.
TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letter of Juvenis in our next. The letter in reference to a disgraceful occurence at Dowlais ought to have been sent to us two months ago; no good eould I now arise by giving it publicity. No notice taken of the unauthenticated reports of births, deaths, and marriages.

NOT IC E TO OUR READERS! IN consequence of CHRISTMAS DAY this year occurring on Friday, the day on which we publish, and also that business in many places will be suspended over Saturday, our next week's number will^gpear on THURSDAY. REDUCTION. WE must congratulate the working-men of our district in having exhibited much discre- tion, much wisdom, of late. In the Aberdare Valley we seethe* absurd ideas prevalent, and the me" courses pursued. We hear of assertions of the most ridicu! and the mass shewing theu blindly following the will of the ignorauc. But here, from Dowlais to Troedyrhiw, and over the hills, though the reduction has been general, and heavy, there has been no cessa- tion of labour, and but little murmuring. Complaints there have been, for it is in the t few and short lived. Our working-men felfc that to repine was useless, for the master was compelled to reduce-that to strike would be madness, for the master could not yield. Thus situated, would it have been wise to brave the fierce assaults of ihunger them- selves ? or honourable, or just, to allow their wives and children to suffer-allow them to die, or beg the cold charity of the stranger? Happily, this side of the mountain, scenes so much to be regretted, incidents so sadden- ing, have not occurred; and, for enduring decrease of comforts, if not necessities,—for turning a deaf ear to turbulent, dissatisfied men, and acting as their better thoughts aud their higher feelings prompted, they deserve the thanks, hearty and sincere, of every lover of order and his kind. But in the Aberdare Valley what '.nnldiVif- ness has been displayed! what. weakness, shown The master of a colliery, well know- for very many years, tt'lls his men that he c. not yield to their demand that the price I,. coal is lowered, and that, from necessity, they must submit. They hear, but they believe not. They swear he told them falsehoods, for, say they, a captain of a trading vessel came from Cardiff and assured us that instead of being less the price of coals has advanced to 12s. "6à., per ton! The captain was a stranger tq thembut what of that? what he said was iu accordance with their desite, and hence was true # Now it so happens, and we 'have had dis- tinct proof, that this captain" was an idle Mormon-preaching collier, who, in order to excite a revolt, disguised himself in Seaman's garb, false whiskers, &c., and then presented himself amongst a large number of turn- outs" as having come from Cardiff, that they might have the truth, and the whole truth, on his word as a Christian Could we narrate stronger evidences of folly ? Cpuld yre state more lamentable proofs of the want of reason ? Here is the word of a gentleman, never known to de- ceive, slighted and doubted, and the word of a vagabond honoured. Here is the appeal of an old resident and a countryman scouted, and,the invention of a stranger acted upon, though detrimental to their interests and their happiness! I If the arguments of employers, and the inducements andjentreaties of their friends, have not been of afoul, let, the admirable ex- ample given at MeTlhyr and on the hills bring them back to reason. It is not yet too late to retrieve their good name of old, and by future good conduct erase the follies of the past. The course we have taken, the views we have advocated, are censured by them; but it is not the first time real friends have been suspected and maligned. Let them but return to work, and in calmer hours, in coming Lime, we doubt not they will leanl that in advocating the master's views, in the present crisis, others, and ourselves, have endeavoured, un-ambitiously, unselfishly, nay, even to the injury of name and interest, to benefit the working-man. < • ■ INQUBST.—On Saturday last an inquegt was held at he Dowlais Inn, before G.
