It is expected that the Lady Mary will make another trip to Ilfracombe next week.

SWANSEA. BoARD OF GUARDIANS.—At the weekly meet- ing held on Thurday, there were present- Messrs. J. T. D. Llewelyn (chairman), B. Bath, T. Phillips, P. Rogers, W. Richards, J. Ivor Etans, J. Lewis, T. Powell, J. Bt,.c, — Jo.es, M. B. Wil\iam, Smith, Freeman, J. Wil- liams, and D. Jenkins. The minutes of the pre- vious meeting having been read and agreed to, Mr. Rogers asked whether the master had duly conveyed two boys to the llavaniiah industrial school ship as ordered. The master (Mr. Jones-Hewson) replied in the affirmative. Mr. B. Rogers said he should like to hear the master's opinion of the ship. The Master stated that he found everything very clean and orderly, and the 80 boys there seemed quite happy; they were playing marbles when he went to the ship, it being the hvar for amusement. He regretted to find that the ship, a fine old frigate, was high and dry, and had been so for years. Mr. Powell said that as the guardians had commenced to sclid refractory boys to the ship, he hoped they wfluld continue to do so. Until now it was sup- posed the guardians had no power to do this. The Chairman thought it was of the greatest possible importance that there should be an institution like the Havannah ship, where the guardians could send refractory boys; and it would be well if they could find a place where boys would be released at an earlier age, and sent into the mer- chant .Y.-Mr. Buse suggested the appoint- ment of a small committee to visit the county 4yli namingMr.M. B. Williams, Mr. J. Ivor .L,Van%nd himself for the purpose. Mr. J. Ivor Evans secondd the motion, and stated that^tho last annual visit had a very beneficial effect, as one woman was discharged soon after who would not have been released when she was but for the guardians'visit. Other guardians visited the asylum twice a year, whereas tho representatives of this union went only once in 12 months, and lie cpnld assure the board these visits were very much appreciated by thoso families who had, unfortn- juitely, relatives confined in the asylum. Mr. Fowell asked how the visit of the committee led to the release of a patieiite Mr. Evans's remarks, as they stood, cast a very great reflection upon the asylum. Mr. J. Ivor Evans said there was no reflection meant, and the explanation of his re- marks was a very simple Olle-the committee was in a position to assure the asylum authori- ties that a certain convalescent patient had a suitable home to go to if discharged. Mr. M. B. Williams confirmed 1\11-, Evan's statement, and Jlr. Powell said he was glad to have the explana- tion.-Mr. Bath reported that the board had sat ItS a finance committee that morning, and recommended the payment of bills amonntingto X165 6s 9d. He moved the adop- tion of the minutes. The proposition was seconded by Mr. Phillips, and carried at once.—Mr. Powell presented the report of the visiting committee, which merely stated that tho house was in a satisfactory condition.— After the report had been adopted, Mr. Powell said he had been requested to call the attention of the rural sanitary authority to the fact that typhoid fever had broken out at Cwmbach, near Morriston. Only one wse had come under the notice of the committee administering relief to the country people, but there were other cases, and the com- mittee wished to draw the attention of the whole board to the condition of things at Cwmbach in order that nuisances might be reinoved. There was no drainage, and all refuse went into the brook, and thence into the river Tawe. Mr. M. E. Williams asked whether the previous speaker bad any suggestion to make. Mr. Powell answered that lie thought the rural sanitary authority ought to take action in the matter at once. Mr. J. Ivor Evans pointed cut the necessity for something being done im- mediately, because if many cases of fever occurred the board would have an increase of pauperism. The Chairman said the question was a difficult one to deal with, because the rural sanitary authority had to act for an urban population. To carry any complete system of drainage through that district would lead to a confiscation of private property. The subject then dropped, and there beir g no other pdJlic business, the relief lists were proceeded with. ThE CASE OF SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE.—In re- porting the termination of an inquest on the body of a newly-born cdild, found in a field near to the Oy sieimouth-road, we inadvertently omitted to Dlenticn that the deputy-coroner (Mr. J. Gaskoin) and the jl1l'Y expres.cd their high appreciation of the steps taken by Mr. Inspector Holland to establish the identity of the body. Through Mr. Holland's painstaking investigation of t)?e so a woman named Mary Ciark, a l?ative } Bkli fold, ':ta s l1rlh\J ¡¿:r'ri¡l liv a charge of conecalment of birth. HARVEST THANKMMVINO. On Wednesday evening a special thanksgiving service for the harvest was held at Trinity Church, a large con- gregation beii>" present on the occasion. The P.ev. \V. J.Kifpeck, M.A., was the preacher. The ehoirsang an appropriate anthem with great skill, and the musical arralJgemcnts throughout were ■very praiseworthy. PROPERTY SAI.ES.—At the Mackworth Hotel, on Thursday, Mr. J. M. Leedcr, auctioneer, offered for public competition somc freehold .,i ,?.t. at the ulbl?.. There were three fot: firit two being 'holJh;I;dre rents, amounting to £ B per annum; and the third; three dwelling-houses adjoining. The hi:"Lest bill was ifcOU, at which sum the lots were withdrawn. The anctioncer then submitted tho lots separately. The first lot represented ground rents amounting to £: For this lot i.:I:!() was bid, and it was withdrawn. For lots 1 and 2, representing ground rents amounting to £i:J (without the three houses), the highest bid was J;Uj(¡, at which price they were withdrawn. The auctioneer then Huhmittcd for halc a honse at the Mumbles, No. 2, Mount View, Church-park, being leasehold property, for !!9 years, from March, 1K7, at a .ount rent of J.:1lis pel' annum. The highest hilt Wus A:2VO, but there was no sale. At the Nelson Hotel, Mr. Edward Howard, auction- eer, offered for public conmetition a quantity of property in Bcllvne-street, No. 2u, 1 he pro- perty of the late Mr. Thomas Roe, de- feased. For the property :in Bellevue-atreet, which is leasehold, for 9G years, from December, 1837, at a ground rent amounting to tO 10s per annum, the highest bid was £325, when it was withdrawn. The offers for the property in Mudoc. street were not up to expectation, and there was no sole. AN IGNORANT LICENSED VICTUALLER.—At the borough police-court on Thursday (before Il. j(.ufwf;i;Jia;1 mit, (3: Mnrr, landlord of the Unity Inn, J.me?-stre,?t, was summoned for seIling beer at an illegal hour oil the 17th inst. Police-constable Smith deposed that at fifty minutes after nine o'clock last Sun. day morning he saw a man named William Taylor onter the Unity Inn. In about two minutes witness knocked, and was admitted, when he saw Taylor in front of the bar with a "blue" three parts full of beer in his hand. Witness told Mr. Murr he would be reported, and defendant re- plied, "All right, sir." He (Smith) also stated that he should report Taylor for being in the honse, and that person at once said he had just come off the tide. He, however, looked quite clean, and not at all as if he had been work- ing. When witness was leaving, defendant fol- lowed him to the door, rattled np the money in his trousers' pocket and asked" Can you do any- thing for me, policeman ?" Witness replied, That will do," and left the house. He under- stood that defendant wanted to bribe him, be. .came he (Marr) repeated the observation more than ozice-two or three times. Defendant said he bad no intention to bribe the officer he thought he had a right to give the man beer as he had been at work. Mr. Fowler exclaimed that he had no patience to listen to snch stuff. Did defendant think him such an ahsolute imbecile as to believe his statement,? Defendant repeated that he believed the man had a right to beer, he having just come oft' tide. The constable her, said that Taylor, who is a rigger, was quite clean, and looked as if he had just left his own house, which was in the fame street a¡¡ the Unity Inn; Defendant assured the magistrate that he did not sell the beer to make an illegal profit; and he also stated that,' finding he was inexperiencod in the business, he intended to leave it, and return to his occupation of seaman. Mr. Fowler: I at-a very glad to hear it. How long have you had the houso?" Itdendant About a month, sir. Head-constiablo Allison sad the defendant had kept thc h" for about six weeks. He was formerly a sailor and received a good character from Detective nspcetor Price, of the Cardiff police force. De- f\O :.J,Ci' but Fg EeJ;d:'a take aid intend to go back to my own business, Police-constable Lloyd was then called, and he said he understood defendant wanted to bribe Smith and himself, Defendant first put his hand in Ms waistcoat pocket as if searching for money, and then in his trousers pocket. Mr. Fowler said defendant might be examined on oath if he wished, and he at once took the oath. He then stated that he believed Taylor was entitled to be served. Mr. Fowler: Have you never yet read the conditions of your licence ? Defendant: No, not in full. Mr. Fowler Be good enough to tell me what you believe your obligations as a landlord to be. Defendant: I understood from observation that people must not open their houses for the sale of drink until 12, or half-past, I don't know which, on Sundays. I also understood that there were people entitled to get drink at all hours on Sundays. Mr. Fowler ?,i. who you understand them to be. Defen- dant: Well people out at work a certain number of hours. Mr. Fowler: Travellers have a right to knock a landlord up, but this man lives close to you, However, if you think it worth while state on what grounds you think this man had a right and privilege. Defendant Because I knew he was down on the tide in the morning working. Mr, Fowler Do you mean to swear that you believed mell who are called upon to work on Sunday morn- Í11g-such as railway people, furnacemen, and so forth-are entitled to walk into public-houses dur- ing prohibited hours ? Defendant: I do not un- derstand the law on the case. Mr. Fowler: Very well; now, whatabout the money? Defendant: Well, the policeman must have misunderstood me. I have a habit of keeping my hands in my pocket, and certainly never intended to offer a bribe. My discharges as a seaman all testify to my good character. Mr. Fowler Well, I never heard, Mr. Marr, a more lame defence. The ease is clearly proved, andyonhadreallymueh better have said nothing than have advanced such a statement as you have made, and pretended that you, took a public-house without having made yourself acquainted with the license, and the conditions under which you are entitled to keep it. It is beyond all charit- able construction on my part-and I must honestly say I cannot believe that you supposed you had any such privilege to open the house in the way you have done. The man was admitted without enquiry. The door was closed after him, and he was immediately served although he lived close by. I am morally certain and conscientiously sure you knew you were breaking the law when you did that. Then there is very strong reason to believe that when you acted and spoke as you did, you were giving the constables to understand that money was to be had if they chose. (Defendant: No, sir.) Fortunately they are officers who I believe would disdain to accept a bribe from any man, but I am very much afraid that is what you meant. Yon are totally unfit to keep a public-honse, and I am glad you are going to leave. The licence will be en- dorsed, and you must pay a fine of £10 and costs. Mr. E. Andrews, owner of the Unity Inn, asked that the licence might not be endorsed. He had, he said, taken every pains, to procure a respectable tenant, and defendant was now un. der notice to leave. Mr. Marr bore an excellent character, but he appeared to be rather shallow, for he gave too much to go into the house. Air. Fowler said he would not endorse the licence if defendant left the house. Mr. Andrews: I have given him notice already, and quite intend to carry it out. The man Taylor was ifned 10s and costs for being found on the premises.

ABERGAVENNY.
ABERGAVENNY. TRESPASS IN PURSUIT OF GAME.—At the petty sessions on Wednesday (before the Rev. J. Farqu- bar and Mr. Richard Rees), William Watkins, sen., William Watkins, jun., and Thomas Davies were summoned by Thomas Prosser, woodward and keeper to Mr. Crawshay Bailey, for trespassing in pursuit of game. Com- plainant said that on the 13th inst. he saw the defendants on the Skyrrid Mountain with II dog, and the two Watkins's had each a gun. Both of them shot at rabbits. They were regularly beating their way. Mr. V illiors A. Julius, who prosecuted, said he did not wish to press the case against Davies, and the bench accordingly allowed the summons against him to be withdrawn. The other defendants were fined •Is and costs each, or seven days.
I ABERDARE.
ABERDARE. NEW IKON FOUNDRY.—It is pleasing to note, during the present depressed state of trade in this district, that some of the tradesmen of the town have still some little enterprise left, and are no doubt looking forward to a better state of things. Mr. Leyson Rhys, who recently purchased the old gas-works, has converted the same into a very c impact and substantial iron foundry, and on Wednesday evening the first castingtook place in the presence of Mr. Rhys and numerous friends. The task of starting the engine and tapping the furnace was successfully performed by Master Tudor Rhys, Mr. Rhys's little son, amidst hearty cheers from those assembled. Extensive fitting shops are in course of erection, and arrangements are being made for carrying on casting of every description. Whilst the eastmg was going on, a sad accident occurred to a child about four years of age. It appeared the little fellow managed to creep unobserved near to the fan shaft, his clothes were caught in the machinery, and he was whirled round with great force, failing senseless to the ground. Strange to relate, lie escaped with his life, but sustained a severe fracture of one of his arms. He was subsequently attended by Dr. Chapman, and is now doing well.
I BRECON.-I
I BRECON. VOLUNTEER SPORTS.—On Wednesday the No. 1 Company of the Brcconshire Volunteers held some very successful athletic sports in a field near Newton Pool, kindly lent by Mr. Lewis Price, of Llanfacs. The day was beautifully fine, and there were upwards of 1,000 pcoplc on the ground. Some of the contests were really first-class. Great credit is due to the secretaries, Messrs. N. W. Bell and Wm. Williams, and to the managing committee for their excellent field arrangements. It is intended next year to hold the sports on a much larger scale.

Mr. Victor presided, and a short report was read by Mr. B. Davies, secretary. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. E. C. Williams, asso- ciation secretary; Air, Deprose, Evangelist, and the Rev.

I FOREST OF DEAN. I
I FOREST OF DEAN. AWRE AND BLAKENEY BOARD OF HEALTH.— The monthly meeting was held on Thursday, at the Swan Hotel, Blakeney, Mr. S, A. White pre. siding. There were also present Messrs. Wilkin. son, Smith, C. Hadley, A. Butler, F. Baker, J. Smith, and H. T. Awre. Dr. Bond, the medical officer of health, and Inspector Spence were in l1t.temlance. The sureties of Mr. Foster, col- lector, viz.. Rev. A. D. Pringle, and Mrs. E. O. Jones had, it was stated completed their bond, which document was presented to the members.—A dis- cussion arose in reference to the re-opening of the village schools (closed some weeks ago owing to the fever epidemic), nnd Dr. Bond stated that this course had been taicen not in accordance with any certificate from him. There was nothing to prevent the managers from doing so, but had a certificate been first obtained from him the Edu- cation Department would have taken into considera- tion the number of days lost by attendances, and allowed these in their annual grant. Having chosen to act upon their own judgment and authority, of course he had no occasion to inter. fere. Moreover, with regard to the fever, it prac- tically came to this if any outbreak occurred again, and it was traced to the schools-the re- sponsibility was removed from his own shoulders to those of the managers of Blakeney Schools. He was aware that masters were directly interested in keeping the schools open, as the closing of them was so much loss.-Mr. Foster appeared be. fore the board, and stated that he had collected .£260 out of the rates made amounting to YMO, and he bad in hand .£23 8s 7d.-Several unim- portant matterswcre brought before the members, and dealt with, when a lengthy letter was read from the Rev. A. D. Pringle, vicar of Blakeney, in which he advocated a union between this board and the East Dean Sanitary Authority for e er- gencies,and this should exist beforepressingcircum. stances again suddenly arose calling for it. The letter aleo referred to Dr. Bond's report, pre- pared in the year 1873, on the sub'ect of water :1;,ntleal::t}3thhbo::dbiig ofdÍ1::d to the absence of water supply at Blakeney-hill, and defective supply also at Blakeney. Reference was made to the recommendation of I Colonel Cox, E.E., the Local Government Inspector, who, at an inquiry at Cinderford, urged the outlying districts of Drybrook, Ruardean- hill, and Harry-hill should be embraced in the water scheme, which, the vicar contended, was a strong argument in favour of a water supply scheme for Blakeney and its contiguous popula- tion. The members of the board were unanimous they had no power in East Dean, which authority had refused to join them. Dr. Bond, in reply to members, said there was no pressing need for providing at the present time a water scheme for the village. It was decided to acknowledge the vicar's letter.—The meeting was a protracted one, occupying two and a half hours.

Lewis, Gurrey Manor; David IJoyd, Blyne; David Harries, Abersanan; David Davies, Park; Thomas Jones, Cwmbaset; Rees Jones, Llwyncwn and John Herbert, Cae- tliilas, visited Cross Inn village, on the 13th inst., to determine what could be done respecting the sanitary condition of this mnch incroosing village; and it was unanimously agreed that a system of drainage was required. Instructions were given to Mr. William Jones, road surveyor, Llandilo, to prepare plans, specifications, and an estimate of the probable expenses, to be laid before the said board. The work will be carried out early in the spring of next year. THE UNITBD CHOIR.—An "Old Songster" states that his choir now numbers from 811 to 100 voices, and suggests that an effort should be made to increase it still further.
MERTHYR. I
MERTHYR. I CONCERT.-According to announcement, Mr. Edward Lawranco gave his grand concert on fedld;ig 1VfhehiTetn.r It is due to his admirable appreciation of the high class taste of the inhabitants of Merthyr and neighbourhood to say that the hall was crowded, and it would have been a difficult matter to have found a vacant reserved seat. The artistes were Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Patey, Miss Jessie Jones, Mr. Patey, and Mr. Hollins conductors, Herr Theodore Frantzen and Mr. Edward Lawrance. Need we say that the names proclaim the highest talent. Miss Jessie Jones has a fine voice, coupled with an extensive compass. She takes great pains, but is rather laboured. Time, however, will mature the excellence of her native talent. Madame Patey's magnificent voice is too well known to be commented upon, except that she, if possible, excelled herself in a beautiful new song, "The felling of the trees." Her appearance was the signal for a perfect storm of applause. Madame Lemmens-Sherrington nearly brought the house down by her enchanting manner of rendering her pieces. Messrs. Patey and Hollins won their full share of golden opinions, their singing being marked by that case and expresion which emanated from careful training and inherent talent only. Herr Theodore Frantzen's manipulation of the pianoforte in the "Valse de Concert" thrilled, every heart, and he having raised the audience above the material world, was compelled to recall them, which he did by a most beautiful rendering of that most ap- propriatO piece" Home, sweet home." Last, though by no means least, Mr. Lawrance's grace- ful and expressive accompaniment of several of the pieces sung proved that he had but to step forward as an aspirant for public honours to win them. The most fastidious must have been delighted, and we are sure the only regret felt is the the length of time that must- elapse ere we can have another such treat. All praise is due to Mr. Lawrance for his admirable scleetion of artistes, and the perfect order with which all the arrangements were carried out. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Early on Wednesday morn- ing a miner, named Wyndham Griffiths, aged -15, residing at Church-street, Penydarren, was crushed to death by the falling of about 10 tons of rubbish whilst engaged at his work at No. 7 Mille Pit, Pontywaun. Death was instantaneous.

MONMOUTH. GARDEN ROBBERY.— At the police-court ou Thursday George Lock'wood, a mason's ap- prentice, and Alfred Watkins, horse-breaker, were charged with' breaking into a greenhouse in agarden on the Old Dixton road, belonging to Mrs. Addis, and stealing a quantity of grapes. On the information of a boy named Baylis the- prisoners wereapprehended, when Watkins made a statement fully admitting the offence. The prisoners were sentenced to four months' impri. sonment, with hard labour. ALLEGED HORSE STEALING.—James Brown, who said he came from Maesteg, was charged on suspicion of stealing a brown mare pony, appa. rently of the Welsh breed. The police applied for a remand, which was granted.

PONTYPOOL. MR. HANBURT has kindly consented to allow the use of Pontypool Park for the next flower show. AN ACCIDENT of a singular nature befell a cow on Wednesday. She was being driven along Commercial-street when she bolted up the narrow passage betwen the prc.,?kes of ?r. Collins, West of England Bank, and those of Mr. Essex, surgeon ? attempted to leap the spiked gate at the end of the passage, but failed, an d became im- paled on the spikes. It was with some difficulty that the poor creature' lifted off the spikes.

RESOLVEN. FORESTER'S CLUBS.—A court of Robin Hood's benefit society has been opened at the Gored Hotel, Melincourt. There were 53 members en. rolled. The representatives, James and Brown, attended with the dispensation to establish the court in connection with the brotherhood through- out the courtry, and this will now afford the working men of the district an opportunity of joining a society so useful to them during ill. nesB.

ST. CLEAR o. PETTY SESSIONS.—On Tuesday (before Mr. J. Beynon and Mr. T. R. O. Powell), James Harries was charged with stealing half-a-sovereign, be- longing to Elizabeth Jenkins. The prosecutrix stated that she was at the house of a Mrs. Thomas, and had occasion to take some money from her pocket. In doing so oho dropped half- P Qovertign on the Hoor, which could not be found. The prisoner WaB present, and she accused him of stealing it, and subsequently gave him into cus- i. tody. The magistrates discharged the prisoner, and ordered the prosecutrix to pay the coats. Mary Williams, of Langharne, chargod with assaulting Mr. T. W. Sharpies, schoolmaster, was fined 9s 6d including costs.—Benjamin James, of Marros, for refusing to quit the Three Lords Bushes Inn. was fined 10s and costs.
ISCENE IN A WELSH CHAPEL.
SCENE IN A WELSH CHAPEL. IA correspondent (of the Liverpool Courier) states that a "scene" of an unusual character was witnessed in the Welsh Tabernacle Chapel, Netherfield-road, on Monday afternoon, on the occasion of the united annual meeting of the Welsh Independent chapels in Liverpool. Tho Rev. John T?omaa, who has just Totmned from America, where the honorary degree of "D.D. was conferred upon him (which, by the way is so covetously wished by some Dissenting preachers in Wales, and so cheaply given them in America) presided, and some remarks were made during the proceedings which the Rev. Robert Thomas, pro- fessor of theology at Bala Independent College, construed as mflecting upon him Mf. Thereupon he taunted the pastor of the chapel with having crossed the i\iinü:o:uif ::t:l ha fe:t in his cap." A scene followed which termi- nated by Dr. Thomas ascending the rostrum, un. ceremoniously clenching the Bible, and closing the meeting. The incident is said to have mused some commotion amongst the Welsh community. It would also be well for the public to know that the conspicuous exhibitionists of this bear gar- den" are those who "stump" the Principality in the service of the Liberation Society this month.

IRIVER SEVERN FISHERY BOARD.…
RIVER SEVERN FISHERY BOARD. The annual meeting of the Board of Conserva. tors of the Severn fishery district was held at Worcester on Thursday, Lord Northwick in the chair. The annual report, after recapitulating the proceedings of the year, stated that the salmon fishing season just closed showed a marked improvement in the take of fish on that of 1875. The number of salmon taken in the season (February 1st to September 1st) through- out the Severn district was about 21,500, of the aggregate weight of 135 tons, the average weight per fish reaching the remarkable figure of 141b. The number of fish estimated to have been caught exceeded that of 1875 by nearly 7,000, and the weight was 40 tons more. The weight of fish exceeded by 19 tons the highest ever pre- viously attained. The largest share of the fish was taken by net. About one-half (11,000) were taken with the draft net, 5,000 with the lave net, and 6,000 with the fixed engine fisheries- putts, and putchers, and stop nets. Not more than 15 salmon had been taken in the district all the year by rod fishers. The proportion of fish taken in the tidal part of the district was 20,050, and in the fresh water portion 1,15(f-total, 21,500. The report was adopted, and a resolution was passed to refer to the executive committee the last annual report of Mr. Walpole, her Majesty's in. spector of fisheries, as to the consolidation of the existing salmon fishery laws, and to consider in what respect the Act of 18 George Ill. may be amended. Other routine business was transacted.
IIRON AND COAL TRADES._I
IRON AND COAL TRADES. I CARDIFF. If the quantity of coal, patent fuel, and iron can be taken as a stan d ard of the ,t?,te of trade at Cardiff docks, this week's exports compare very favourably with recent records, as will be seen by the figures below. There certainly is no cause to complain of the quantities shipped, and, as a consequcnce, employes of all classes are fully at work and derive fair re- muneration for their labours, but, as no improvement whatever has taken place in the prices of our various products, the masters ac. cumulate but small, if any, profits, and in many cases are simply keeping their works going at a loss. Freights continue low, but vessels are be- coming scarcer, which must send them up. Steamer rates especially need rising. The house coal trade is less active than it generally is at this period of the year, prices of large colliery screened coal ranging from 9s to 12s per ton f.o.b. ship. Exports Fortignwise 82,252 tons of coal shipped this week, as compared with 70,478 tons last week. There have also been shipped this week 2,86 tons patent fuel, 1,261 tons bar iron, 500 tons rails, 34-0 tons pig iron, 00 tons sheet iron, 27 tons tin plates, and 2 tons bricks. Imports: 1,880 tons iron ore from. home ports, 446 from Spain and 296 fifcfti the Mediterranean 388 tons burnt ore from France 1,670 tons pitwood from France, and 150 from home ports 3,550 loads timber from the Baltic, 31,000 bushels wheat from New York, 4,700 bushels oats from home ports, 530 tons pig iron from home ports, 220 tons potatoes from France, 88 tons scrap' iron from home ports and about sundry cargoes from home ports, viz., bricks, slates, fcncing,gas coal, iron dross, logwood, timber, &c., &c. NEWPORT. Numerous arrivals have taken place during the week, and cargoes of timber, grain, and iron ore have been received. Both the import and export trade of the port is increasing, notwitli?3ta:l??lill?g the exceptionally bad times which prevail. Freights have not been so low for 20 years. I SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. Our Birminghamcorrespondentwrites onThurs. day :-The tightening of pigs from other districts has caused an improved demand for those from South Staffordshire, and a consequent advance of about 2s 6d a ton, but buyers of finished iron are again holding*back in the hope for further fall in price, so that during the past week very few orders have been booked. Makers of bars eon- tinue firm, however, and declare it to be impos- sible that prices can be lowered either now or at next quarter day. Unmarked bars may be bought now at from k6 10s upwards branded bars con. tinuing nominal at.£9 to £ 9 12s. The best sheets are in slightly better demand, but singles could be bought to-day in any quantities at .£9.80 ton. Cold-blast pig remains at £5 10s, hot.blast vary. ing from X4 5s to £4 10s, cinder pigs being quoted at k2 14s 6d, and part-mine at JE3 to £ 3 5s per ton. There were to-day occasional indications of a greater desire to speculate in pigs, and one or two good orders were booked. House coal is in good demand, but there is a plentiful supply of furnace coals, and no change in prices.
ISTREET ARCHITECTURE IN CARDIFF.
STREET ARCHITECTURE IN CARDIFF. We have sometimes wondered, when walking through the principal streets of Cardiff in a con- templative mood, what will be the aspect of those streets fifty years 1 ence, when the present gener- ation will have gone the way of all flesh and given place to another, and, perhaps, still more enterprising race of commercial men. Viewed in the light of the progress which has been made during the past quarter of a century, and assum- ing that this" large and increasing borough" will go on increasing in the same ratio, we may I remise that the ambitious dreams of those who tondly picture the future Cardiff as second only, if not equal, in importance to Liverpool, will then be in a fair way of realisation. Probably, however, the case is one in which distance lends enchantment to the view," and it may still be found at the end of 50 years that Cardiff is a long way behind her great rival in the north, and like Birkenhead, the City of the future," ever looking hopefully to the dim and distant future for the achievement of great things. Be that as it may, there is no reason why Cardiff should not aspire to become the first port in the Bristol Channel, and at no very remote period outstrip the ancient city across the water, to which she is now but a modern and a modest rival. The vast resources of mineral wealth in the district, which are, comparatively speaking, asyct undeveloped, and the prospects of an import trade, which is as yet but in the embryo, afford some justification for this aspiration at least. There must assuredly be something substantial in the commercial state of the locality when we find that, despite the abnormal depression of trade which has been experienced for some time past, Cardiff tradesmen are still in a condition of prosperity, which is resulting in the erection of new and handsome business premises all over the town. New buildings are springing up here and there with such rapidity as to completely trans. form the appearance of the streets, and premises which but a few years ago were considered large and striking are wholly eclipsed by the more im. posing and pretentious structures of these pro. gressive days. The new establishment of Messrs. Daniel Lewis and Son, in High-street, is a case in point. These well-known furniture makers and up. holsterers have attained an eminent position among local tradespeople, and the devefopm..t of their business has reached a point when more expensive and commodious premises than those they have hitherto occupied in Duke-street be- came imperatively necessary. As an addition to the street architecture of the town, Cardiff people have reason to be proud of the new premises which are to be opened to- morrow, while as an example of business enterprise they may be said to stand pre-eminent among their compeers. The site upon which they are built is 200ft, in depth, and the average width is 60ft. Nearly the whole of this large space is covered by spacious showrooms, galleries, carpet-room, stores, receiving room, the entrance, and offices. The shop floor is 132ft. in length and 46ft. in width, and the two galleries are each 80ft. in length, and (including the well) 58ft. wide. The floor space devoted to the business of Messrs. Lewis and Son is upwards of 20,000ft." and in addition to this there are suites of ofiices occupying the front part of the building. From an external point of view the building is very striking, and the substantial as well as ornate appearance it presents, reflects the greatest credit upon the architect who designed it. The style is Byzmtmc, or Venetian Gothic of the earliest and present period, freely treated. The front elevation is carried out in freestone, with Forest stone bands and dressings. The cornice, medallions, and strings are of terra-cotta; and it may here be reo marked that this is the first occasion in which this durable, handsome, and economical material has been used in Cardiff. The Forest stone dressings and the red terra-cotta contrast we I with the buff colour of the stone work. The building is entered by three doors, the centre one giving access to the shop and show-iooms, and the south door to the receiving-room and back premises. By means of the north door access is gained to t be suite of offices, which has the ad. vantage of being thus separated from Messrs. Lewis's own premises, and forms an entirely separate building. Immediately upon entering the showrooms the visitor can see at a glance the full extent of the pre. mises, the ground floor and the two galleries being admirably lighted by means of a spacious glass roof. Passing through the large show-room to the rear the receiving and despatching room is entered, and an excellent feature in this depart- ment is a lift, which provides for the raady trans- ference of the goods to and from any part of the premises. The whole of the establishment is heated by means of one of Perkins's high pres- sure hot water apparatus, and it is well lighted. The building was designed by Alr. Peter Price, architect, and erected under his superintendence by Mr. Jacob Biggs, builder, at a cost exceeding i8,00O. It is due to Mr. Biggs to say that he has executed the whole of the work in a very substantial manner. The terra-cotta work was supplied by Messrs. Doulton and Co., of London, and Mr. Edward Clarke, of Llandaff, executed the carving. It is worthy of note, in connection with the prcaont depressed condition of the iron trade in South Wales, that the iron girders used in this building were manufactured in Belgium, and were supplied througji the agency of Mr Dawnay, consulting engineer, of London. It may perhaps afford food for grave reflection to those who are interested, if we mention that iron girders can be sent from Belgium into the town of Cardiff at a price considerably below the cost of those supplied from our own district, and a fact so important to South Wales deserves serious consideration at the hands of those whose interest it is to promote home production and discourage foreign competition. Messrs. Daniel Lewis and Son are opening their new premises with an extensive and varied list of furniture goods, and an important feature in connection with their stock is that it embraces articles suitable for people in every rank of life, from the cottager to the peer. On the one hand there are elegant and costly dining and drawing room suites in silk, damask, Utrecht velvets, and morocco, chaste and expen. sive inlaid cabinets, .ifrst-rate sideboards in oak and mahogany, hall and bedroom furniture of all descriptions; oil the other, household goods as homely and useful and inexpensive as the chest contrived a double debt to pay, a bed by night, achest of drawers by day," which formed an important article of cottage furniture at the period when Goldsmith wrote his delightful poem. The ground floor is devoted to the display of furniture suitable for the drawing-room or dining-room, comprising such articles as we have mentioned above, and many others; in the first gallery is a great variety of best bedroom furniture, embracing inlaid suites and others of bird's-eye maple, pitcli-pine, walnut, and mahogany, and brass and iron bed-, steads in all sizes and quaJit ies. At the end of this gallery there is a collection of hall furniture, which includcs somc unique specimens of tables, in oak, walnut, and mahogany, c1mstely inl??id with tiles. The stock in the second gallery embraces various descrip- tions of second-hand furniture, such as Jalmn bedroom H1Îtcs, iron and wood bedsteads, ordinary mahogany chair" couches, sofas, = c,?s, &c. In the room at the rear of the ground floor there is a large assortment of damasks and carpets of all patterns and qualities. On the whole it may be said that few other towns of the size and importance of Cardiff can boast of a furniture and Upholstery establishment equalling, in the extent of the premises and the varied character of the goods exhibited, that which Messrs. Lewis and Son will open on Satur. day, and with respect to which this firm is en. titled to the thanks of the town for the immense improvement they have effected in one of its most prominent business thoroughfares. We recently had occasion to notice the new premises of Mr. Powell, saddler, &c., which are situate almost exactly opposite to those of Messrs. Daniel Lewis and Son. The (wner of these premises is lr. John Biggs, whose instructions in rebuilding were to give the greatest amount of accommodation available for business pur- poses, Itnd at the same time to devise an cleva- tion not unworthy of the principal street of the town, or of the handsome buildings recently constructed in the vicinity. We can fairly con- gratulate Mr. Biggs on the successful accomplish. ment of his intentions. The elevation is Gothic, the shop front having a handsome massive dado and sill moulded and prepared for the shop win- dow, and returned to form a recessed entrance to the shop and to the" Bank Chamber3" offices above. Twisted and moulded pillars form a handsome frame for the one large plate of glass forming the direct front window of the shop and the side window at the entrance. Solid Portland stone pillars, neatly wrought and moulded, with carved panels, support an iron girder cairying the superstructure of the front, the necessity of keeping this girder up to give the greatest possiblo amount of light to the shops having apparently led to the only difficulty in execution. The shop makes a handsome show room for a very auperior class of manufactured articles, while sti r I allowing space for workmen in the rear. The first flóor appropriated to a suite of offices, has the front wall deeply recessed, and a bold bay window pro. jected into the street, making the room suitable either for offices or for a very pleasant town drawing-room. This window is supported by iron cantilevers and surmounted by a castellated parapet, and is v? massive in a earance.A handsome three li;it cii-eu -heatepd three light window lights the second floor front, and is sur. mounted by an elegant window agauj of three lights, with polished gTanite eGI\U1¡ and pointed areheS. Both windows are formed in the recessed front already mentioned, gradually reduced by side arches and carved corbels, the light and shade of which giva the principal effect to the design with a minirnnm amount of carved or decorated work. To break the uniform tint of the Bathstone front, a band of Bridgend stone of a light-grey green colour has been occasionally introduced, forming a slight varit in colour, without glaring contrMts. The front i finishedwith a bold gable coping and flank pinnacles and carved finial, the treament of the upper p0t! tion of the elevation being very effective a? pleasing. Tbe work has been executed by Messrs Jones Brothers, of Cardiff, under the snperin! te.de.ceof Mr. David Jones, In a verY(;tr?ful and satisfactory manner, from the design "r Mr T. Waring, C.E., architect and our veyor,
