-u_ SWANSEA COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY. ^Before His Honour Judge Williams |. THE BANKRUPTCY OF MR. RICHARD HUGHES. — iMr. illiers Meager (instructed by Mr. R. G. Edwards) made an application to His Honour tJ review the taxation of costs in the bankruptcy of MrRichd. Hughes, tin-piate manufacturer, <ic., an,1 allow tiie full counsel's fee a-ked fur, viz.. 15 guineas (arising out of a motion objecting to a proof of £ 17,000), the taxing master, Mr. S.Home, having reduced Counsel's fee to £5 10s.—Mr. Meager pointed out that the fee allowed by the Kegi.-tra.i- was insufficient seeing th-j,t he Mr. Meager) ha i perused something like 350 documents for the purpose of arguing the motion. The case, he remarked, was the largest that had ever been before the Court.—Aft ^r a little discussion, his Honour allowed a fee of ten guineas. Mr. C. H. Glascodiue (instructed by Messrs. Collins and Woods) opposed the applica ion. How TO BE WHITE-WASHED.—Peter Petersen, a Swede, who formerly traded as a grocer in Swansea, applied for his discharge from bank- ruptcy. Mr. Leyson appeared for the applicant, and Mr. Viiliers Meager.for the creditors, opposed the discharge. Mr. Leyson, while admitting that the applicant had kept no books and had traded after his insolvency, said it was through his ignorance of the language and methods of the country. His Honour would not entertain the application, and said that if the applicant wished to be whitewashed, he must come to the court with clean hands. DAMAGES FOR TRESPASS. — PENRY V. JEFFREYS.—John Penry, tin-worker, of Brynteg, sued Rees Jeffreys, of Geliiwen Farm, for the sum of JE13 10s., being damages for trespass in November last, by the removal of a wall at Brynteg. Mr. W. D. Benson was for the plaintiff, and Mr. R. T. Leyson defended. The case for plaintiff was that a piece of land at Brynteg had been enclosed, and occupied for between 30 and 40years by Mr. and Mrs. Penry, who were now deceased. Upon the r d ath, the land was divided amongst the children, plaintiff receiving a strip upon which he commenced to build a house and stable. When the st t ble was being built, the defendant, Rees Jeffreys, his uncle, pulled it down, claiming the land because his (Jeffrey's) father ha i originally enclosed it. Evidence was called to show that the late Mr. and Mrs. Penry were in possession in 1859, and occupied it sufficiently long to become legally entitled to it.-i.Ir. Leyson. in defence, con- tend,d that when Mr. and Mrs. Perry first took the land, they paid a rent of 2s 6d. per an;ium to the father of defendant. When Mr. Penry died, however, no rent was extracted. Mrs Pemyaud her children had technically occupied the land long enough to claim it. He would, under the circum- stances, ask that judgment be given against the defendant, but that the costs, on the scale of title, should not be allowed.—Judgment was given for plaintiff for £ 1, and costs on scale of title. A MISTAKE IN CHARTERING.—TUCKER AND Co. v. EVANS.—This was an action in which Messrs. W. Tucker & Co., shipping agents, of Swansea, sought to recover from Mr. David Evans, of Aberayron, the sum of X16 odd, charges entailed by a steamer being chartered to the wrong dock in Swansea.—Mr. Villijrs Meager (instructed by Mr. W. Cox) appeared fur plaintiffs, and Mr. C. H. Glascodine (ins,ructed by Mr. C. W. Slater) defended. Mr. Meager sail plaintiffs supplied a steamer chartered by de- fendant, and sent it to Swansea from Aberayron with a cargo partly composed of carbon farina and partly of lime. The lime was sent to the wrong dock, so that the change of traffic entailed charges being paid by plaintiffs.—It was con- tended on the part of defendant, that the change of traffic was unnecessary, and that tile shiftillg of the vessel to receive the lime in the Suutti Dock could have been arranged with a consequent saving to defendant. His Honour eventually gave judgment for defendant. DAMAGE TO BUTTER.—W. THOMAS AND Co. v. G.W.R. Co.—This was an action in which Messrs. Wm. Thomas and Co., grocers, of idoucester Buildings. Swansea,, sought to recover from the Great Western Railway Co. the sum of £ 5 10s. 4d., loss sustained by plaintiffs through the negligence of the defendants' servants. Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Messrs. Lloyd and Owen) appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr W. P. Smith was for the Railway Company.—It appears that the plaintiffs received five kegs of butter from Hamburg. The butter was "hipped from Hamburg to Grimsby, whence it was conveyed by the Manchester and Sheffield Railway and the Great Western Railway to Swansea. When the kegs were received by the plaintiffs the heads of four of them were knocked in. and the butt"r was in a dirty condition. Plaintiffs paid 9s. 8d. for the carriage to the Great Western Railway and made a complaint, an employe of the Company stating that the G.W.R. received the butter in good condition.—Air. W. P. Smith sai l the Great Western Railway were not carriers from Gritnsby, and were, therefore, not liablc.His Honour took this view and gave judgment for the defendant, remarking that proceedings should be taken against the Manchester and Sheffield Railway. ILLEGAL DISTRESS AT MORRISTON. —Hawkins v. Frazier and Wdlianis. This case was opened on Wednesday evening. Mr. Leyson was for pi lintiff, and Mr. Viner Leeder for defendants, there was a dispute about the ownership of houses near Morriston. Defendant Williams claimed them, and the plaintiff, having be 'ome a tenant, Williams authorised the defendant Frazier, Auctioneer, Wind-street, to distrain on Hawkins, although he had paid the rent to another party. Plaintiff was much put out by the alleged distraint, and therefore claimed 1:50 damage. Mr. Viner Leeder admitted the alleged distraint, but considered the claim of £ 50 as absurd. His cheat would prove his ownership in another way, — His Honour .consider, d that the plait. tiff had been hardly dealt with, and entitled to compeu ation, but £ 50 was too much. He awards; 13 and costs. There were three other similar case,, represented by Mr. C. H. Glascodine, and were dealt with on the same terms. The Court adjourned at a quaiter'to four till 10.30 Friday morning. FRIDAY. [Before His Honour Judge Williamz". CLAIM ON A PROMISSORY NOTE.—TRADES COMMERCIAL BANK LTD., v. NOBLE AND NOBLE AND ANOTHER.—In this action the Trades Commercial Bank, Ltd., sought to recover US 18s. 5d., principal and interest due on a promissory note, &c., by the defendants, Mr. Donald Noble and Mrs. Kate Noble. 43, G rse- lane, and Mr. J. McPherson. draper, Cradock- street.—Mr. Griffith Morgan appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. R. T. Leyson defende ).— Plaintiffs, it appears, advanced £29. to the former defendant, the other two signing the promissory note. At periods re-paymei.ts were made, but there had been other charges incurred with reference to certain furniture.- Judgment was entered for plaintiffs for the full amount claimed, with costs. A CLUB CLAIMS DAMAGES FOR Loss IN MEMBERSHIP.—EMPIRE WORKING MEN'S CLUB v. JAMES.—This was an action for improper in' distraint, in which the trustees of the Empire Club, m Dyvatty-street, claimed £ 40 damages from Mr. T. W. James, solicitor (the defendant), in respect of loss sustained by reason of the withdrawal of about 50 members. Mr. Burnett (with Mr. W. Howell, Swansea and LlaneLy) appeared for the trustees, and the action was defended by Mr. Villiers Meager, instructed by defendant. Evidence went to show that th-ee trustee- ule.ars. Tribe, Evans, and Peak, who had since been substituted by the plaintiffs) made arrangements to take over a shop at No. 12, Prince of Wales-road, in February 0: last year, wherein to form the club. Those trustees acted contrary to the instructions of the club committee, and instead of taking the premises in the name of the club, took them in their own names, at a monthly rental of £43. 4d. When the trustees were changed, the defendant refused to acknowledge the new e trustees as tenants en behalf of the club, con- tending that the premises were let personally to the ex-trustees, to whom Mr. James admitted in toe witness box, he looked upon as liable for rent. In consequence of this, the club was removed to Dyvatty-street, where defendant di-trained for rent, though he had previously refused to aeknow- ledge the club as tenants. His Honour held th .t the Club was in the position of sub-tenants to the first three trustees, and gave judgment for X15 and costs for plaintiffs. MESSRS. WILLIAMS AND SON V. ABERTAWE MANGLING Co.—Messrs. Williams an t Son. of the Wellington Foundry brought ^an action against the Abertawe Manglmg Co., 47, Oxford-street, for the recovery of £ 18 1S8.. being money alleged to be due for goods supplied. Mr. Vilhers Meager (instructed by Mr. J. R. Richards) was for the plaintiffs, and Mr. W. P. Smith appeared for the defendants. A sum of £ 5 16s. 4d. had been paid into Court in settle- ment, and for the defence, Mr. Smith submitted that several items in the bill, comprising iron castings, had b^n overcharged by the plaintiffs.t Several witnesses were called to give evidence as to the cost of the castings, and his Honour eventu- ally gave judgment for plaintiff for £ 15 GOWERTON BONE & ASH. &c.. Co. v. MCMURRAY.—Plaintiffs, the Gowerton Bone, Ash a.nd Bone Manure Co. sued W. J. McMurray^ South Wales Debt Recovery Co., for £ 6. there being a. counter-claim for P,7 12s. 3d.—Mr. Glas brook Richards was for the plaint ff. Judgment was given for C6 and costs for plaintiff, and for defendant on counter-claim. The Court rose shortly afterwards.

--------SWANSEA CHAMBER OF…
SWANSEA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THE G.W.R. AND STEMMING. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SWANSEA AND PORT TALBOT AND THE GARW VALLEY. The usual monthly meeting of the Swansea Chamber of Commerce was held at the Guildhall, Swansea, on Friday. Mr. Griffitil Thomas pre- sided, and there wera also present Messrs. E. P. Jones (secretary), Thomas Yorath, A. P. Steeds, R. Lindley, T. R. W. Ma son, Morgan Tutton, W. T. Farr, J. Wright Simpson, William Howell, &c., &0. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, tne election of new members was proceeded with. The following were electedMessrs F. Bradford, W. W. Morgan, and L. Vanderpump. STEMMING AT THE G.W.R. COAL TIPS.—The Secretary (Mr. E. P. Jones) said that at the December meeting of the Chamber, a deputation was appointed to wait upon the local manager of the Great Western Railway (Mr. Sims) to put before him the recommendation of the Chamber that some alteration should be made in the stemming arrangements. The deputation duly waited upon Mr. Sims, who took exception to the suggestion made, and pointed out that it would not work out so well as was expected. At a subsequent meeting of the coal shippers of the Chamher, the meeting recommended that the follilwing regulation should be included in the regulations of the Great We-tern Railway on the F:nbject Steamers to load in the order in which they are stemmed, provided that any steamer in dock, and ready for loading, shall have precedence over any steamer arriving by a later tide. -Mr. W. T. Farr said that in a con- versation which he had that morning with Mr. Sims, that gentleman expressed his anxiety to do all in his power for the shippers in general, and he suggested that the stemming book should be kept on as at present, and the applications for berths should be treated in the order in which they were received—that was to say, when all the berths were occupied the steamers waiting for berths should have berths allotted to them in order of priority of application.—The Chairman That is the thing he refused to do.—Mr. Farr: That is what he told me this morning, and the suggestion appears to me everything we wish. If the majority of the shippers would agree to it there would be an end to the matter.-After some desultory conversation the matter dropped. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE GARW VALLEY AND PORT TALBOT.—Mr. Knox, the agent of Miss Talbot, attended the meeting for the purpose of requesting the Chamber to petition in favour of a Parliamentary Bill for the construe- ti.)fi of a railway from Maesteg and the Garw Valley to Port Talbot, which was being promoted by the Port Talbot Co. Mr. Knox spoke of the benefits which Swansea, as well as Port Talbot, would derive from such a line, as it would have the "ffect of reducing the railway rates to Swansea. The Bill would be strongly opposed by the Great Western Railway, as it would affect their traffic, but every landowner in the neigh- bourhood was in favour of it. The Port Talbot Company intended to apply for running powers over the Great Western Railway and the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway. The Great Western Railway would fight tooth and nail against that, and opposition might come from the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway.—After some discussion, Mr. Win. Howell moved that the matter be referred to the Council for thorough examination and consideration, and that the Council be in- vested wilh powers to petition in favour of the Bill, if the line'propo=ied was advantageous to Swansea.—Mr. A. P. Steed.; seconded.—Mr. Morgan Tutton, in supporting, said if the rail- way would benefit thf'm they should not be scared by the fact that docks were goittg to be con- structed at Port Talbot. -The Chairman also supported, aud the proposition was carried unanimously. The meeting then terminated.
PEDR WILLIAMS.
PEDR WILLIAMS. MORE ABOUT THE MISSING MINISTER. The Press Association says :—The relatives of Mr. Pedr Williams, the missing Congregational minister, have received a telegram stating that he arrived in New York on Wednesday from Southampton by the American line steamer Berlin. The actual cause of Mr. Williams's financial emharrassmens, says a correspondent of a London paper, who is stated to be fully acquainted with the circumstances attending the rev. gentleman s sudden disappearance, was pressure brough to bear on him by the executors of a deceased creditor. Surprise has been expressed that a man like Mr. Pedr with a certain income from his Church of 4:600 a year, should become so much involved in debt. His friends, however, trace his difficulties to a very early marriage and to the responsibilities of a delicate family coming upon him before he had made a position for himself. That he was very heavilv involved is certain. The last time the rev. gentleman preached at the Lower Clapton Congregational Church, he selected for his text: "And Cain said unto the Lord, my punishment (or mine iniquity) is greater than I can bear (or than can be forgiven) behold Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and from Thy face shall I be hid, and I shall be a fugitive and wanderer in the earth." The deacons of the chapel to which the Rev. Pedr Williams, the missing minister, was attached, in an official statement made to a representative of the Press Association on Thursday night, said that ever since his marriage, Mr. Williams had been overburdened with debts, and he also considered himself under obligations to friends who had educated J' financial difficulties were very great, and, coupled with the fact that the doctor had not been out of his house for years, and that his delicate family was a constant drain upon his resources, the deacons concluded that in a weak moment, he had determined not to face his people again. 1

¡- THRILLING EXPERIENCE AT SEA. A SWANSEA BARQUE IN DANGER. After A terrible experience, the barque Beta" (Captain H. Reyeon), of Swansea, has arrived at the West Wharf, Great Western Docks, Plymouth, from Rotterdam, the voyage occupying no less than 40 days. With a fair wind, it is usually made in three days, and the prolonged voyage of the Beta" is probably unparalleled. The barque left Rotterdam on January lOch with a cargo of moss litier. A moderate wind blew from the south for six days, against which very little headway was made. 011 January 16th, the wind veerea to the south-west, and blew a heavy gale. Capt. Beynon ran to the North Foreland for shelter, and anchored for three days, during which heavy seas swept over the vessel. On the day after leaving, the wind again increased, and before another gale, occasion- ally of hurricane strength, they were driven back to the North Foreland. There the "Beta" remained in a heavy sea until January 23rd, when the weather moderated, and the vessel was worked down Channel as far as St. Catherine's Point, where the wind died away to a calm. On the 27th a gale, accompanied by terrific squalls, sprang up, the barque shipping tons of water. This continued for two days, and the crew came to the captain and begged him to run for the nearest port as they could not work the ship any longer. For nineteen days they had been toiling almost in- cessantly. None had taken off their clothes, and they were run out of provisions. The forecastle was partly flooded, and being without coal and oil, the men were nearly frozen. The captain asked the men to work the ship as far as Portland, and the men readily agreed. This was impossible, however, for the gale blew the vessel back to Beachy Head. On February 1st the crew, who were in a sad plight, complained of illness, and the captain promised to run for the nearest port directly he could take his bearings, fog having prevented his doing so for several days. The fo4 cleared away on February 4th, and the vessel was kept away for the Downs, wuich was reached on the following day. The captain then went ashore and obtained provisions. For six days the crew had lived upon bread and water, but further hardships were in store. Whilst lying in the Downs a gale prevailed for several days from the south-west, and on February 11th it increased to almost hurricane force. The life- boat was placed ready for launching, and for 48 hours all hands remained on deck, momentarily expecting the barque to be driven on to the Goodwin Sands. She, however, rode out the storm in safety, and on the 14th inst. another attempt was made to reach Plymouth. St. Catherine's Light was again sighted on the followug day, when fogs and calms prevailed until the 18th. On this day a gale blew from the north, but as it came from a favourable quarter, the vessel was able to make headway, and at length Plymouth was reached with the crew in a thoroughly exhausted state. Whilst lowering sail on tLe 18th, the topsail brake got round one of Captain Beynon's legs, and he was jammed against a block so severely that he was obliged to remain below. The log shows that the voyage was one of continuous toil and great anxiety. It is believed that the "Beta" is very badly strained. SHOCKING TALE OF BRUTALITY At Plymouth Police-court on Friday, William John Jones, mate of the barque Beta, of Swansea, was summoned for assaulting on the 21st of February Johannes Janssen, steward of ,the same vessel. He was also summoned to show cause why he should not be bound over to keep the peace towards complainant, who is a Dutchman. It appeared that the complainant was shipped at Rotterdam on the 9th ult. as steward. Through- out the voyage the complainant had been treated with persi-tent cruelty. On February 21, while Janssen was at his work, the mate stopped him, and ordered bands of hoops to be brought him, and when he received them he threw them at trie hapless foreigner. On another occasion the mate ordered some bags to be put on deck. On Wednesday last he was in the hold, when the defendant came down and told the crew they could do what they liked with Jaussen. The mate allowed him to be dragged about by chain hooks, anll made no effort to stop it. He was in bodily fear of the mate. He used to follow him about as if he were a dog, and constantly struck him with his hand. His food was of the poorest quality, consisting of rice, biscuits, and coffee. When the tug came alongside with coal the mate ordered him to turn out his clothes' bag, and u-ei it as a coal-carrier. On Sundays the mat; use.l to handcuff him to the ancaor when he had nothing to employ him at. When he wa-i on the look-out the mate constantly struck him on the shins with a rope, because he could not keep his leg- not being a seaman. He had also been ill-treated both by the boatswain and the captain. The latter had kicked him because he smasaed a glass chimney.—Corroborative evidence having been given, the Bench fined the defendant X3 and costs, or three weeks' imprison- ment with hard labour. The money was I &i,f.- The summons to keep the peace was dismissed on the defendant paying expenses.—Another case arising out of the above was then gone into, in which the complainant claimed P,5 18s. 4d. for breach of agreement, wages, and railway fare to Swansea, but it was withdrawn on the captain agreeing to pay zC3 18s. 4d. and the costs of the summons.

CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AT SWANSEA. -On Wednesday and Thursday the quarterly meetings of the Welsh Congregationalists of West Glamorgan werr. held at Ebenezer, Swan- sea. There was a large attendance of ministers: and laymen. Among the resolutions submitted and adopted was one proposed by the Rev. J. Davies, Cadle, asking the magistrates to take more stringent measures when publicans' cases are brought before them, and to convict, not only the drunkards, but also the persons guilty of supplying them with excessive drink.-The R,v. G. Griffiths, Pentre, proposed That this conference views with very great pleasure the strong desire that is being shown in Swansea, together with the adjacent towns and districts, for the location of the University of Wales at the above town, and desires to call on the authorities to do all in their power to bring this most desirable prnject to a successful issue.The Rev.

The commander is. however, stated to have declined the request. It:s add. d that some of the British seamen, who subsequently landed jjinder American protection, trampled upon the Union Jack as a protest against the British commander's action.

SWANSEA BOARD OF GUARDIANS.…
SWANSEA BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of this board was held at the Workhouse, on Monday, at 11.30 a.m. There W6re present Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn, Bart., in the chair; Mr. Philip Rogers, vice-Chairman Miss Brock, Rev. O. T. Snelling, Messrs. A. Wearne, W. Sims, Llewellyn Daviea, D. Jones- Powell, Seymour Arthurs, Richard Jenkins, D. Owens, W. Evans, John Davies, Philip Jenkins, John Griffiths, E. Roberts, Stephen Thomas, F. Glynn Price, Dr. Gomer Lewis, and John Lewis, St. Thomas. TENDER FOR EXPENSIVE MEDICINES. The clerk having read the minutes of last meeting, they were received and adopted. The report of the Committee on Expensive Drugs was then brought up, who recommended that the tender of Mr. Grose be accepted. Mr. Arthurs asked why th" matter was re- ferred to a different Committee than usual? Mr. Arthurs also said that complaints were made that the tender of Mr. Grose was always accepted, although other chemists tendered. On reference to the minutes, the constitution of the Committee was found to be correct, and Mr. Arthurs ex- pressed himself satisfied as to the Committee. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. Mr. Edward Roberts brought up the report of the Finance Committee, and stated that the cash in hand amounted to £1 631 3s. Bills passed that day were JE628 9s. 10d., which left the balance of £1002 13s. 2d.; but after paying the County rate of £996 15s. 9d. they would have in hand £ 5 17s. 5d. They would require about £ 200 this week, and their excellent town collector had made arrangements to pay in this amount. The report was adopted. THE PRESS AND THE ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE. Pursuant to notice, Mr. Richard Jenkins moved That in the opinion of the Guardians, it is desirable that the reporters of the Press should be admitted to the ordinary meetings of the Union Assessment Committee, and that the As-essment Committee be asked to consent thereto." Mr. Jenkins said that the motion was intended only as a recommendation to the Assess- ment Committee, and he hoped that tuey would adopt it, for there was a strong feeling in the town in its favour. He was informed the Press was admitted at Cardiff, Merthyr, and Llanelly If so, why not at Swansea p He was quite sure they could alwavs rely on the discretion of the gentlemen of tiie Press. Mr. John Griffiths having seconded, Mr. Stephen Thomas suggested that before the resolution was passed, it would be desirable to have an official notification from the places named by Mr. Jenkins, that the Press was really admitted. He was of opinion that in case the resolution was carried, and acted upou. 1 the Committee would meet with greater difficulty in procuring truthful statements from appellants than they did at present. How should they like to have their private affairs exposed in the Press. He thought it would be most ob- jectionable, and therefore, he moved an amend- ment That the matter be postponed until they had an official reply from the towns named." Mr. W. Sims seconded the amendment. Mr. Llewellyn Davies said that he was in favour of the motion, and gave soma instances in which appellants had given returns to the Assessment Committee which they would never have produced had the Press been present. On a division the motion was carriel by a br¡2e majority. ALTERATION OF THE TIME OF MEETING. On the motion of Mr. Llewellyn Davies, it was i agreed to alter the time of meeting, for the purpose of dealing with Relief Cases, from 10.3C a.m. to 10 o'clock. THE FEND ER RY QUESTION. The Chairman said that he had received a long letter arising from the Penderry Question. As it had already appeared in the press, it was ardered to lie on the table. THE CROWDED STATE OF THE HOUSE. The Rev. Mr. Snelling, in seconding the report if the House Committee, brought np by Miss Brock, referred in strong terms to the crowded • <fcateof the Workhouse. He stit: I that there .vere nowiu tin house no less than 547 inmrtjs, the largest number ever known. He thought that this was a stale of things which required prompt attention and a rigid enquiry. Mr. Snelling then moved the appointment of a com- mitte ■, with the view of enquiring into the circumstances and relations of the inmates, in order to see whether the number could be reduced as it was becoming very unwieldy. The motion was seconded by Mr. Edward Roberts, and met the unanimous approval of the board, the Committee to meet as early as possible. The Relief Cases were then resumed. —— «-

[5323 THE CORN TRADE.-The agricultural outlook is promising in all respects, except prices. English wheat is now worth about a half-pennny per pound less, but foreign wheat at Mark-lane has not declined during the week, and twenty country towns where foreign wheat is in good offer have also held their ground. Nevertheless a decline of sixpence per quarter has been allowed at thirteen markets, and the report of dull and unchanged from 27 others is not specially encouraging. The firmest markets are Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool and Manchester. The fall in the top price of flour at Mark-lane from 28s. to 27s. was a weaken- ing influence on trade, and has reacted on wheat. The spring corn trade is firm for British barley, both London and Edinburgh quoting an average of over 303. per quarter. But for cheap feeding barley twenty markets out of sixty have been threepence to sixpence lower on the week. Oats have been firm, with good local demand for seed sorts. Beans, owing to large offerings from Asia and Africa, are very cheap-in fact, at present prices they ounht to have increased attention.— Mark Lane Express. l^Good housewives keep mW veret Plate Powder on the shelf. it gives two or three times the ft lustre of any other and never Wr scratches either jewellery or plate.

Imrie, Capt. Jenkins, and G. H. Blenkinsopp, I Considering the depressed state of trade that generally prevails, the trade of the port of Swan- sea during the past week has been exceptionally active, and there has been a large export of coal and patent fuel and general cargo. The shipments of tin-plates have only been moderate, being 45,267 boxes as compared with 96,147 in the pre- ceding week. The number received from the works was 62,599, and the quantity is stock has again reached 247,173 boxes, but considerable tonnage is expected during the week. Although there is a slightly better demand for tin-plates, the delay in finally dealing with the Tariff iu the States has a most depressing effect on the market, and will con- tinue to do so, until the Tariff Bill has passed the Senate. Yet, with all this, strikes and disputes are rife around us. When will the men learn to undeistand their own real intei eats ? Block Tin is at a low point, the lowest, it is said, it has ever reached. Copper is also going downwards, and Coal is still in a depressed state. I PIe IRON.—Glasgow warrants, 43s Ojd, cash buyers.
