James Williams was charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling at Pontypool, on the 29th of May. Prisoner said he was not aware the shilling was bad. He received 4s. at the Cwmbran office, and he did not know one of them was W, di The landlady of the White Hart, Pontvpoolj said she received the shilling from the prisoner, and after she discovered it was bad she took it to him and asked him for the ninepence she had given him, and she would lose the pint of beer lie had. He refused to give back the money, and abused her very much. Mr Thompson told the prisoner that lie did not think he knew the shilling was bad, and he should discharge him, but he ought to compen- sate the landlady for what lie had. DESTITUTION. Edmund Lascelles was charged with sleeping in an outhouse, and having no visible means of subsistence. The prisoner told a long- story about h hav- ing been the publisher of a directory for the county, and that he had become reduced through backing a number of bills.

The prisoner was cautioned as to his future conduct, and discharged.

BLAINA. SHOCKING AND FATAI. ACCIDENT.—V^RDNPGFLAY morninp a very shocking, and, we regret to add, fatal accident, occurred at the "Calcine Tip," in this place, to a man named Evaa Davis, aged 57. The poor feilow was, it seems, at work at the tip in question, w here the fjvee cinders arc tipped fomaicining when a hu je lump of the material pave way, and rolling upon the unfortunate man, killed him on the spot, his head being flattened by the illllDene weight, and his brains scattered in all directions.

TREDEGAR. Seniors -ACCIDF.Ni-On Monday evening, as Mrs Richards, wife of Mr Richards, of the hy Bush Ibtel. King-street, Carmarthen, was returning from" Ebbw Vale in a hired con- veyance belonging to Mr Spencer, of the Castle Hotel, Tre- degar, a boy named David Jones, engaged in play, ran from under a wall close by Dr llomfray's residence, and w&R in a moment Under the horse. The animal became restive, and the driver, leaning forward, a shaft broke, and he was thrown out, injuring his ankle. The horse then ran away and Mrs Richards was thrown out, receiving some very severe injuries. Miss \illjams, Nir., Richards'? sister, and a baby, were gittinff behind, and at the first false step they were thrown out. but we are happy to say without sustaining much hurt. All the injured persons are getting on well. except the pixjr boy who was run over, and lie, it appeals, besides other severe wounds, had his jawbone broken. He lies in a very dangerous state. The poor little lad walked Jliotne to High-sf. after the aeciaent, no one thinking he was so badly hurt, but on reaching home he gave one look at his aunt and swooned awav. He has not been sellable since, we believe The trap and bocse were much injured

It has long been known that Tea fully re- liable for strength & real cheapness, can only be secured by the Chinese entirely discontinu- ing the use ofnilizei-alpowdet, to 1 or .face over the leaf; for this very unfair practice has long been a heavy tax on the English consumer, as the Chinese do it to enable them to easily pass off brown worthless leaves at high rates. To insure really fine and cheap Tea, Horniman's imports are all free from mineral powder, the Green is a dull olive hue, the Black is not in- tensely dark. Sold always in packets.

THE IlWX, COAL, AND GENERAL TRADES OF SOUTH WALES. [From. the Bristol Daily n'si.] The somewhat improved feeling in business in the Welsh iron trade is so far maintained, aud makers are beginning to express greater' confidence in the future. Prices, it is evident, have seen their lowest point; and the turn which has taken place in the market is likely to lead to a gradual reaction for the better. There is no material accession of orders to note since last week's re- port, with the exception of a contract for 5000 tons of rails for New South Wales, which has been secured by a Monmouthshire house (the Ebbw Yale Company), and other engagements are expected to follow. Short time has not ceased to be the rule at the majority of works, and will undoubtedly continue until orders are more freely forthcoming. The movement for the better which had commenced to set in has been rather checked by the failures of the last few days, hut as none of the suspensions are believed to affect this district it is an- ticipated the check will prove only a temporary one. At the luca: ports several vessels aie taking in cargoes c on American account, and the predicted serious falling off in the demand from the States as the result of the abandonment of the Tariff Bill, has not been as yet c experienced; and, in fact, indications point to, a con- tinuance of the present exports. 'From Continental houses additional inquiries are received, and business in all probability will follow. Following the United States and Iudia, Russia is the best customer of South Wales, railway iron to a considerable extent being shipped to that country. In the homo trade there is nothing ap- proaching animation evinced, although the rail branch is not quite so dull as it was. The railway companies are all economising, and their purchases of iron have not increased. With a restoration of confidence in monetary circles, of which there js strong hope, this state of things will be soon altered. Pig iron commands a readier sale, and should the make he kept down to a reasonable point, remunerative priccs will before long be obtained. el Tin plates are in slow request, and prices are not so well supported as they Were. The lull in the demand is ascribed to various causes, such as a falling off in American orders, India taking a less quantity, and home requirements smaller owing to the depression in other branches of industry. Buyers do not look with favour upon plates made under the recent patent process in. troduced, but experienced makers assert that the pre- judice against them must ultimately give way. Business cannot be said to be in a satisfactory state in either branch of the coal trade. The capabilities of the steam collieries are far in excess of the requirements of buyers, and at many pits about half time is the rule and not the exception. In the inland consumption there is no charge to note. The Great Western carried last month 40,214 tons to the metropolitan markets, of which fully four-fifths were from South Wales. This is the largest return for several months past. In the house coal trade quietness prevails, but tonnage is not so scarce as a few weeks ago. The Darby blast eag-iueat Ebbw Vale has again been stopped,in consequence of a fault being discovered in the shaft of the fly-wheel; and it will take several months to carry out the necessary repair*. The furnaces are now dependent on the two old blast engines, and the breakage will cause a decrease in the make of iron. A notification has been issued, signed by Mr Harri- son, secretary of the Monmouthshire Railway Company, stating that the proposed imposition of Id. per ton extra tonnage on certain dock traffic at Newport is withdrawn. This decision is no doubt mainly attributable to the de- termined opposition of the freighters to any increase in the tonnage.

0 AHEIUMAF. The dirccto.-s of Powell's Duffryn Coal Company, Limited, have determined on either selling or letting the Aberaman Tronworks, so long and so successfully carried on by Mr Crawshay Baily, M.P. The present owners are prepared to enter into a liberal arrangement for the supply of coal from the adjoining property to the works. It is hoped that some enterprising capitalist will embrace the offer, as considerable distress has pre- vailed at Aberaraan since the partial stoppage of the establishment.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. -U, leerous sores and scrofulous "eruptions of the worst kind, for which all sorts of established remedies have been tried in vain, have been thoroughly cured, in an almost incredibly short time, by Holloway's Ointment The common topical applications are mere palliatives; but this unrirallrcl Unguent penetrates the source of the evil, detroys the secret virus, and gets rid of the disease for ever.
