The Principality

COWBRIDGE. Tiiis market, which was not well attended as to buyers, was full of provisions of every kind, butter in particular, which lowered in price full twopence, and no doubt had it not been for the hucksters it could have been bought for eiglitpenee per pound. The corn is stationary as to price, and no wholesale buyers iu the market. Much dissatisfac- tion was felt by the people attending this market, in conse- quence of Mr. Lewis attempting to increase the tolls one penny.

GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE. JUXE IOTII.—There has been a greater disposition to realise shown by holders this week, caused in part by the accounts of the continuance of hostilities between the Germans and Danes, and the price, consequently, has declined. There has been a moderate amount of business done at 42s. 6d., which we quote as the price to-day for mixed Nos.—cash. PllfCES Oi<"WELSII MINING SHARES. Shares. Company. Paid.

SMITIIFIELD. MONDAY, JUNE 19.—The supply of foreign Beasts on offer to- day was comparatively small; that of Sheep and Calves tolerably good, but of very middling quality. With home-fed Beasts our market was heavily supplied, the time of year considered, -,Irid the general condition of that description of stock was good. Although the attendance of buyers was somewhat extensive, the Beef trade was excessively dull, at, in some instances, a further decline in the quotations of 2d. per Slbs. However, a few of the very primest "Scots sold at 4s. per Slbs At the close of business a large number of Beasts left the market unsold. From Norfolk, SLiffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,700 Scots, shorthorns, &e. from the western and midland districts, 800 Ilereford-i, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, .500 of, various breeds; and from Scotland, 310 horned and polled Scots. Although the supply of Sheep was Hloderately extensive, the Mutton trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday last, the primest Down qualities of Mutton producing 4s. 10.1, to 5s. without difficulty. The number, of Lambs was by no means heavy for the time of year. All breeds met a fair demand, at fully last week's prices. Prime small Calves:. moved off freely, at full prices. Otherwise, the Veal trade was in a very sluggish state. Pigs sold heavily, at last week's currencies. Price per stone of Slbs. (sinking the offal). Price per stone of Slbs. (sinking the offal).

LONDON SEED MARKET. MONDAY, JUNE 19.—Holders of Cloversecd are not generally disposed to accept such low prices as to induce speculative purchasers to come forward and as the seedsmen keep out of the market, little- or nothing is done. Canarysecd was in good request this morning, and again about 2s. higher. No change in other articles.

PROVISION MARKET. MONDAY, JUNE 19.—The foreign and local supplies of Butter in the past week were more than equal to all wants, and prices cheaper. Ths best foreign declined to 80s. per ewt., and other kinds iu proportion. Irish was, in consequence, nearly neglected, and prices nominal. Bacon.—Irish and American singed sides sold to a limited extent at previous rates. The appearances pointed to a better demand. Bale and tierce middles, no alteration in demand or value. Of Hams and Lard nathing new to report. We have a fair demand for really good and fine old Cheese during the past week at rather better prices it is now pretty clearly ascer- tained that this article will prove decidedly short, and will soon all disappear consequently the trade will, of necessity, be driven oil the new at an unusually early period. However, no doubt can be entertained that the make is very good, and that from the very favourable weather the new will be more forward and ripe than usual. We still continue to receive large quantities of foreign, which are selling at low prices. There is a little demand springing up for exportation. In English Butter our trade is extremely dull, and prices are declining. The importation of foreign Butter is immense, and will, no doubt, so continue for a long time to come, as the troubled state of the continent of Europe must occasion a very increased consignment to England, consequently very low prices are before us. Fine Dorset, 90s. to 32s. per cwt; Middling, '86s, to 88s.; Devon, 86s. to 88s. Fresh, 8s, to. lis. per dozen.

WOOL MARKET. MONDAY, JUNK 19.—The imports of Wool into London last week were 2,152 bales, of which 1,561 were from South Astralia, 491 from Algoa Bay, and the rest from Germany, &e. There are DO-less than 30,000 bales of colonial and other Wool, declared for sale on the 22nd inst., and in the interior there is very little doing. Accounts of the 10th instant from Brcslau state that Wool was much reduced in price, and would hayo been worse, but for the; buyers who attended from Eugfend and Hanibra.'—;—Leeds, June .16.—We are unable to note any.improvement in the Foreign Wool; trade since our last report.

Twenty sermons were preached in ditfereut places in the neighbourhood on Tuesday evening. The .association was very numerous, considering the unpropitious state of tlis weather. GEJUZIM CH ANEL.—On the 14th and 15th inst., the new Bap- tist (fhapel, called Gerizim, in the parish of Sr. Dogmells, Peln-I brokeshire, tliree, in,Ies from Cardigan, was "opened for public worship.

The sermons at ten and two were delivered in the open air, as the chapel would not contain one-fourth of the large as- sembly present. The debt on the chapel the day previous to its opening was under £45 (the original cost being about £ 25o), and as a collection was made on that day, the balance cannot be large; and, doubtless, it will be so.on defrayed. The friends here (as well as the Baptist church at Cardigan) are under great obligations to William lieos, Esq., solicitor, Haverfordwest, for his urba- nity and liberality towards them in the execution of the deeds. SWANSEV BIBLK ASSOCIATION.—On Tuesday last the anniver- sary meetings in connexion with this auxiliary were,held in this, town. The deputation was Mr. Sanger.

The speakers were Revs. Samuel Phillips, D. Evans, W. Howells, and Mr. Sanger. The collections, we understand, were better than usual. INDKPENDENT COLLEGE, BRECON.—On Wednesday and Thursday last, the annual meeting and examination of the above institution were held at livecoii. After the lengthened notice which we gave of this and our other collegiate establish- ments a few weeks ago, it may not be advisable to roe-Lir to the subject so soon but there are a few things which justly call for more than a passing allusion. The Rev. Philip Smith, B.A., of Cheshunt College, and the Rev. Caleb Morris, of Fet- ter-lane, attended on behalf of the Congregational Fund Board. There are many excellent features in Welsh character, and Welsh societies, and Welsh institutions, to which we are so much accustomed, as to have become insensible to their worth and beauty. And we do not recognise their full value until we are placed in a position to observe the want pf them in others whom we respect. However unsatisfactory the general circumstances of the college may be, the two gerttlcmen above named mentioned two facts which we venture to look upon as signs of a healthy state of, thin-s, and a promise of bl'ighter days to come. One was the large attendance of ministers in the committee meeting, which showed that a deep and general interest was felt in the progress of the institution. The num- ber of the collections showed also that this feeling was shared in by the churches, as the aggregate amount of subscriptions, though not large, is spread over a vast surface: every church sending its mite to swell the amount, A few of the students have made very praiseworthy efforts to promote the prosperity of the College by pecuniary contributions and sympathy. We allude with peculiar feeling to a fact mentioned by the Rev. Noah Stephens, Sirhowy; in his church they have a special prayer meeting, to implore the blessing of the Most High upon the institution. If the same course be faithfully and earnestly pursued by all the churches, we venture to predict for the Col- lege much and increasing usefulness.—-Mr. Smith conducted the examination in the classics and mathematics. Dr. Davies,. Froodvalc, in Hebrew and the Rev. Caleb Morris in theology and metaphysics. The Rev. Wm. Rees, of Liverpool, presided on the occasion. The progress of the students was satisfactory, and creditable fo themselves and their teachers. Ave, beg to remind our readers that the students are making special efforts this year to increase the pecuniary resources of the institute, and to command them to the kind sympathy of the churches. We cannot enlarge just now. An important subject "bearing upon the colleges will form the basis of a few remarks next week. Commun icated.
