THE PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.* LETTER FROM AIR. GLADSTONE. HIS REASON FOR THE APATHY OF THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT. The following letter has been received from one t>f Mr. Gladstone's secretaries by Mr. Charles Schmidt, a Hebrew gentleman, of London, in reply to an inquiry as to whether her Majesty's Govern- ment intended to protest against the treatment of the Jews in Russia :— "Sir,—Mr. Gladstone desires me to acquaint you chat he is in receipt of your letter on the subject of the treatment of the Jews in Russia. In reply, 1 am to say that on the occurrence of any fitting opportunity her Majesty's Government will be prepared to explain its views of the proper atti- tude it should assume with reference to these deplorable outrages." Mr. A. Myers, writing to a morning contem- porary under date January 25, says:—" I have this tiny had a lengthened interview with the Right Hon. \V. E. Gladstone in reference to the atrocities that have been committed in Russia, and I am per- mitted to say that the Prime Minister is convinced that any Government interference whatever, ,where cruelties spring from the fanatical igno- rance of a people, would do more harm than jood. A St. Petersburg telegram, dated Thursday night, says :—News comes from /ihivotilo that on the night of the 3rd of January a Jew named Uvorkin, and his wife; daughter, and infant were killed by persons unknown, who also inflicted dangerous wounds upon twü other daughters, who. however, survived. M. Bardonx, the ex-Minister of Public Instruc- tion in France, contributes another article to the Jintmul den Debate, in which he reproaches the Russian Government for allowing such excesses to take place. He concludes England has been touched by the accounts of these fresh atrocities, and France cannot remain Monday next. telegraphs a St. Petersburg corres- pondent, has been appointed as a day of humilia- tion and fasting among the Jewish community, and prayers for tranquillity wiil be offered up in all synagogues throughout the Empire. A pre- sentation has been made by the Hebrew Baron Gunzburg of 200 roubles and a pair of massive silver candelabra to the Orthodox Greek Church in the commune of Feodorowka. The candelabra bears the following inscription :— The Israelite Russians, in token of their gratitude to the Com- mune of Feodorowka for its truly Christian effort to prevent depredation on May Q, 1881.

THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION. A Reuter's" telegram from Constantinople,, dated Jan. 26, says:—The apprehensions which were recently entertained here with regard to the Egyptian Question are disappearing. England and France have given reassuring explanations to all the Powers concerning the Collective Note, and it is believed that the affair will be settled with- out further diplomatic communications from France and England, the Porte, or the other Powers.

THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU. The Standard correspondent in New York, tele- graphing on Thursday nights, says :—On no pre- vious dav of his trial diù Guiteau's conduct more strongly weigh against him than on the last. when he was found guilty of the assassination of Presi- dent Garfield. Possibly his language occasionally interpolated during the trial may nave been viler and more outrageous, but his utter depravity and clear responsibility were never more clearly de- monstrated. He did not rave, but spoke at random, and interrupted the proceedings without reason or cause. The judge endured all with grim patience and cruel kindness. When the last speech had been finished, the hearers seemed to feel that Guiteau had condemned himself. The jury agreed upon thpir verdict promptly, but without unseemly haste. While the jury were deliberating Guiteau was quiet and restrained, but the roving of his eyes and his increased pallor showed the terror and distress under which he laboured. On hearing the verdict he incoherently exclaimed, God's blood will be on the head of that jury," and Don't you forget it." A touch from the marshal's hand was the signal for his removal. Guiteau's mouth was thus closed, and lit showed that he keenly felt his position. The result was instantly telegraphed every- where, but as it happened after the hour when people had left the principal centres of business ind returned to their homes, the intelligence waa fnostly learned from the newspapers. Absolutely universal satisfaction is manifested at the result of the trial, not only here, but in all parts of the I'nited States, from San Francisco to New Orleans, ami by all races and colours in this cosmopolitan nation, as is proved by dispatches that have arrived. The usual motion for a new ttial is to be made, but it is believed to be absolutely hopeless. The date of the execution depends upon con- tingencies. It is impossible to fix it with any certainty; but it will prooably take place in Juiv. Mrs. Garfield has not read the reports of the trial; but knows the result, and accepts it as the only possible issue of the trial. She says she re- gards the result as more important to the public, which has other Presidents to protect, than to her- self and children.

CHILIAN OUTRAGE ON BRITISH SEAMEN. The Plymo.uth correspondent of the DatZy TeUqra'ph states the British Admiral oil the South American Station has forwarded home particulars of an outrage on six British seamen of the barque Maxima, who were arrested at Tocapilla by the Chilian authorities, imprisoned, and flogged while • in irons, being then released without any charge heino' preferred. The British residents appealed to 'h"1 British Admiral, who caused representations to b* aiAdeto tba Chilian authorities resulting uj the suppression of the Commandant, of Tocapilla. ] A demand for compensation has been preferred, The aiotive of the Chilian police is staged to have been the hope of obtaining payment of a substan- ¡ tial fine fro n the sailors before releasing thain.

MR. LEWIS MORRIS ON j WELSH EDUCATION. THE NEED FOR TECHNICAL SCHOOLS. On Fricav evening Mr Lewis Morris and Mr. W. Rathb>n"e, M.P., addressed a crowded meeting atCwmvglo, near Carnarvon. In the afternoon a conference of managers of schools and members of school bop."(' in'the county assembled. Mr. D P. Willisui:# hairman of the L'anberis School Bon d, pre^ o .and the following resolution was unanimously .u;upted "that this meeting of school boards and school manp-cet = desires to express its arnest aanks tQ her Majesty's Government for appointing a Com- mission to make investigations into he state of -^K'-at;••?> ir. the Principality, and rejoices to find that the Commissioners have executed tlisir tasks so thoroughly and fairly. The meeting also wishes to press upon her Majesty's Government the desirability of adopting the recommendations, and to introduce them in the form of a measure before the next session of Parliament; exerting themselves to pass the same into law, inasmuch as any delay would act detrimentally upon the con- dition of the ViVlsh people. The evening meeting was presided over by Sir Llewellyn Turner, who expressed his pleasure to preside over so many people assembled for so laud- able a. purpose as that of promoting education, and he trusted the result might tend to the advantage of the rising generation. Mr. RATKBOXE, M P next addressed the meet- ing at considerable length. In the course of his remarks he said they had met to speak on a grave subject. They already knew that they had had a committee ot great men, some of the greatest Welshmen, with that Welshman who once held a seat in the House of Commons but who had now been elevated to the Upper House—Lord Aberc1,lre-at their head. They had had men of high standing' on both sides, who had spared no time or trouble in their work; and, when they were thinking and speaking of Welsh education, they should not forget him who was the originator of the Commission—the late Sir Hugh Owen. (Applause.) It was to him they owed the whole of this great work. He himself had .-aid that no man need be long in Carnarvonshire without discovering that educa- tion was their chief delight. Bishop Thirlwallhad said that the Welsh had centered their national recreation in literature and musical compositions. 1.. his evidence before the Commissioners, Mr. W. Cadwalader Davies had showed the perseverance of the Welsh by a striking instance. A poor boy of Carnarvonshire was at 1S| years determined that he would be a professor, and a profes- sor he had become. He saved a little money, became a pupil teacher, and afterwards a schoolmaster. He then saved about .SSO, and entered college, subsequently becoming a most distinguished master in the Glasgow Univer- sity, and this Mr. Jones had since taken a pro- fessorship of Philosophy. He (the speaker) was proud to find that Carnarvonshire figured lirst among the counties, and Dinorwic first among the places in Wales that supplied students to the University College at Aberystwith, and Principal Edwards had said to him that the quarrymen from Wales continued to provide him with students. He alw said that the total amount provided by quarrymen in aid of their support was just £15Ó, and they ha.d given JE160 towards the expenses of poor students in the Aberystwith district to pass through the college. Mr. Lkwjs MoftRiS. who was cordially received, said that as the report of the Commission was now finished it would be premature on his part to com- mit himself to any deiinite-opinion. Mr. Rath- bone had spoken as to the zeal and desire displayed by the people in the slate quarry districts for education, and he (Mr. Morris) would, therefore, content himself by referring to the large atten- dances at schools in that and surrounding districts. The establishment by quarrymen of scholarships at the Aberystwith College showed a great love for education. Welsh people, although poor and so much scattered, would willingly pay sixpence a week towards the maintenance of a school which would supply intermediate education. Latin and Greek were not so much required as a thorough technical training. The existing condition of Wales was not at all satisfactory or creditable as regarded education. Welshmen had as much ability as Englishmen, and yet the latter managed to get all the good things. This he found was specially notict able in South Wales. From the figures which Mr. Cadwalader Davie? had given him, it appeared there were over 2,000 children in school in his (the Bangor) district, and that was saying a deal. He also told him that two years ago there were from 50 to 60 young men from the quarries at different gramniar schools, at an age when education was generally finished. This also showed their desire for knowledge. He could never admit that the University College of Wales at Aberyst- with, to which the quarrymen were such large subscribers, had been a failure, because it had educated several young men from Wales, which would show that it had its work to do, and was doing it. He was sure that if this college were elsewhere it would do much better. Re- ferring to intermediate education, he said that. in some districts an advanced department in their elementary schools might be sufficient, but in other cases night schools and, technical schools would supply a great want. When they had got the schools and colleges they were endeavouring to obtain, he and his fellow- Commissioners would have done everything that they could do for Wales. The general condition of Wales was not satisfactory. They had heard that no Welsh candidate ever got into the Indian Civil Service that was not right. A Cardiff young f man had written to him complaining of the manner in which strangers stepped in and took the desirable positions in Wales. The writer said that fuilv 30 per cent. of the officers about the docks and other commercial petitions in Cardiff were given to strangers. It had been a pleasure to him to attend there that evening, and if ever he were asked as to the sub- stantiality of the feeling on the subject of educa- tion he should be bound to tell them that it was not a got up thing. The Welsh were a most religious people, and they would, no doubt, appre- ciate education as a much-to-be valued gift. (Loud adplause.) Captain VEHNEY, R.X.. also spoke. The meeting throughout was of a most enthu- siastic character.

THE TIIOMAS AND JENKINS WILL SCIT. The further hearing of this extraordinary suit was resumed on Thursday, before Sir J. Hannen and a special jurv at Westminster. Mr. Inderwick,"Q.C., and Mr. Bayford appeared for the plaintiffs Dr. Deane and Mr. S. Smith for the defendants; and Mr. Bargrave Deene for the intervener, Mrs. O'Connor. The first witness called was Georgina Farley, who was examined by Dr. Deane. She said sho was the daughter of Mr. O'Connor, who lived at Birkenhead. On the 10th of July, 1880, she went to Mra. Oborn'sat Swansea. She received a letter stating that her aunt wanted her to look after her. Her mother did not accompany her. She (witness) went to Poplar Cottage, Sketty. She saw her aunt. the night she arrived, and Mrs. Oborn ex- pressed pleasure at her arrival. She remained five weeks. During the whole of that time she waited on her aunt. She "knew about the making of the will on the 12th of July. Two gentlemen arrived at Mrs. Oborn's, and they went into her aunt's room. Shortly after that she was called into the room, and her aunt said to her, Georgie, I want you to raise my hand to sign my will." She did as she was desired. Mr. Dolling put a pen into Mrs. Oborn's hand. Her aunt ma.de a mark, while Mr. Dolling touched the top of the pen. She did not knew which left tho room first, she or the gentlemen. She was in and out all the time. About a week after that her aunt told her she bad provided for her (wit- ness's) mother, and had left her twitness) JS50. She recollected her aunt receiving a letter from Dr. Griffiths. After the letter was read it was placed on a file which her aunt kept for that purpose. The letter came after the 12th of July. She had seen Mr. David once; it was when she went to his office. She went to the office about a letter her aunt had received relative to the payment of some interest. The letter came from Mr. David. Shc\ (witness) afterwards took JE30 and some odd shillings to Mr. David. She (witness) got the money first from Mr. Mill. Mr, David gave her a receipt for the money. She (witness) put that receipt on the file. [Some conversation here took place between the counsel as to the non- production of the letters and receipt alluded to bv the witness.] She had some conversation with her aunt about the money. She (witness) suggested that she should take £31 to Mr. David, but her aunt said no; she would send the exact amount required, as she (Mrs. Oborn) did not require anyone to reckon up for her, as she could transact her own business. Mrs. Thomas called once at Poplar Cottage while she (witness) was there. Her aunt had told her that Mrs. Thomas had been, very un- kind to her, and that Mr. Thomas had threatened to kill her. From first to last, all the time she was with her aunt. she considered her a most sensible woman, and quite able to transact her own busi- neCross-examined by Mr. Inderwicfe •. She had not seen the Thomas's since 1880. She got £2 from Mr. Mill for her trouble before she left Swansea. She got the money by her aunt's orders. She did not know thfvt Mrs. Thomas had been ill since she had seen her. Her aunt never told her not to admit Mrs. Thomas. Her aunt had, however, told her that she would not have Mrs. Thomas about the house to annoy her. She had seen Mrs. Thomas shake her fist at her mother while she was in bed. It was soon after her marriage. Eight years ago she saw Mrs. Thomas strike her mother, and she heard her say, You old' beast, I hate you." When her evidence was taken she told the lawyer that she had seen Mrs. Thomas strike her mother in the face with her knuckles. Catherine Hughes was in the house when the will was signed. She would swear that she had never said to Catherine Hughes The will will not stand." Hughes was her aunt's nurse. Mrs. Susan Porter said she lived at Scarewood Farm, Sketty. She supplied Mrs. Oborn with milk, and had done so for some years. She saw Mrs Oborn on the day of her denth. Mrs. Oborn at one time wanted to come and live with her (wit- ness), as Mrs. Thomas ill-treated her. She said she would give her (witness) a pound a week and find her own nurse. She (witness) told her that she could not think of receiving her without Dr. Griffiths's opinion. Dr. Griffiths said she waa all right; all she (Mrs. Oborn) required was kindness. Mrs. Oborn was a good. sensible woman. She always paid whatever she was charged for articles supplied. Mrs. Batten said she was a milliner, and lived at Holdsworthy. Mrs. Oborn had of ten spoken to her about her property. She had also speken to nei about hor son and" daughter. She said Mr. Thomas should never have a penny of her property as he had shaken his fist over her and threatened to kill her. She said Thomas had I influenced her daughter against her. She also said ¡ tor son had ha.d enough money. She (Mrs. Oborn) said she should leave her daughter some I monev, but she wished to make her and her hus- band feel the want of money during her lifetime, as Mrs. Thomas had been unkind to her. Cross-examined by Mr. Inderwick She never recollected hearing Mrs. Oborn say Mrs. Thomas had threatened to kill her. All she had heard her say was that she wanted to make the Thomases feel the want of money. She never heard Mrs. Oborn say that the Thomases wanted to put her out of the way. Mr. Inderwick stated the case on the part of the plaintiffs, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, and said if it were true that the testatrix ha.d suffered from the unkindness of her daughter and son-in-law, she would be perfectly justified in depriving them of any benefit which they might receive by her (testatrix's) death; but the evidence he should call would prove that the testatrix laboured under a delusion as regarded the conduct of her daughter and her husband. His (Mr. Inderwick's) conten- tion was that the will of 1878 represented the true feeling of the testatrix as regarded the disposition of iier propertv after death; and, furthei, that the will of 1880, propounded by the defendants, was not the instrument that ought to be admitted to pro. bate. He then stated the circumstances that led to the marriage of the testatrix's daughter to the Rev. Mr. Thomas, who was a curate at one of the churches in Swansea. The testatrix approved of that marriage, on its being understood her daughter and her husband were to reside in the house with her, in order that she, being a con- firmed invalid, might receive proper attention after the marriage. On this being assented to, the marriage took place on the 1st January, 1879, and very shortly after it was found that Mrs. Oborn was an excitable and very ill-tempered woman, and this circumstance led to unpleasantness between the parties; ill-feeling arose, a separation took place, and all the unpleasant matters spoken to afterwards he should prove were delusions, and the pure imagination of the testatrix, which were only consistent with insanity, as it was one of the most common forms of that disease that persons unfortunately suffering from it took the utmost dislike and aversion to those who had been and were the most kind in their intentions towards the sufferer. He then explained that the principal difference in the two wills before the court was that Mrs. Connor under the will of 1880 would take considerable house property instead of 4s. payable weekly under the will of 1879. Mrs. Thomas, he said, was,, in fact, substantially benefited under both wills, but most directly so under that of 1879. But his belief was that the whole of the un- pleasantness had arisen through the conduct of Mr. Mi if. The examination of Mrs. Ann Thomas was then proceeded with, and the case had not concluded when the court rose. In the Probate Division of the High Court of Justice on Friday, the local probate suit of Thomas and another v. Jenkins and another was resumed before Sir James Hannen at Westminster. It will be remembered that this was a suit in which the various wills made by Mrs. Mary Jane Oborn, who formerly carried on business" at Swansea as a milliner, were disputed. Mr. Inderwick, Q.C., and Mr. Bavford appeared for the plaintiffs Dr. Deane and Mr. Smalman Smith for the defendants, and Mr. Bargrave Deane for the intervener, Mrs. O'Connor. Several other witnesses were examined, and Mr. Inderwick addressed the jury for his clients, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. After Dr. Deane had addressed the jury for the defendants, the learned judge summed up the evidence. The jury retired for about twenty minutes, and returned a verdict that the willjbf July, 1880. had been duly executed, that at the time of execution the testatrix was of sound mind, and that there had been no undue influence.

THE MERTHYE CALICO BALL. This event (the third annual one of the kind) came off, as already intimated, at the Drill-hall, Merthyr, on Wednesday evening last. It was un- doubtedly the most successful one of the series, the number present being at least 50 in excess of that of any previous gathering. The Drill-hall was decorated with admirable taste for the occa- sion, and the support accorded the Children's Hospital and Accident Ward was one for which its numerous patrons received an admirable re- turn, the company being select, the music of a high-class order, and the ensuing supper of a most recherche description. It is estimated that there were close upon 350 persons present, and too much praise cannot be accorded those gentlemen who exerted themselves so strenuously to make the proceedings a success. The stewards, who were all in Windsor" uni- form, were—Messrs. G. C. James (high-consiuMe;, T. J. Webster, T. J. Dyke, J. Plews, C. R Jam«f»j D. 1L Lewis, W. Edwards, D. Williams, and J. O. White, and it is almost needless to say that each of these gentlemen discharged the duties allotted to him in a most praiseworthy manner. The cos- tumes were the most striking and brilliant of any ever witnessed in Merthyr, or, we believe, the Principality itself." We ap- pend a list of the principal cliaracters:— Mr. Gwih-in C.

Johnston, Miles, and Co.'s report.)—Extra India Mess Beef The demand keeps extremely brisk, and the ship- ments are light. Packet Beef: There has been a verv good demand, some of the Christmas beef now coming forward being of very superior qua- lity. Pork: An advance during the week of 40 cents per IOOlbs. on hogs has led to a feeling of confidence in the trade, and large purchases have been made at an advance of 2s. 6d. per barrel. Bacon: Although the heaviest shipments of the season have been arriving during the past fort- night, still the market has held its own on fancy cuts, and there is a disposition on the part of holders not to press sales. In fact, some holders decline offering at all, as it is only a question of a short time when a considerable advance will have to be paid, the bulk of the packers preferring to make cuts for their home market; 2s. per cwt. advance is now asked for February shipment, while for March shipment there is scarcely any- thing offering. Hams: The few that are arriving are taken as fast as landed. The market is entirely bare of Stafford cut, and the shipments advised arc very light. We quote the market 2s. higher. Lard The depression which took place at the end of last week has been followed by an advance of Is. 6d. per cwt., and tho market closes steady at 57s. 6d. c.i.f. for tierces, and 61s. c.i.f." for buckets. Cheese The demand is principally on finest grades; anything out of condition is still rejected, although fine July made cheese can be bought at 45s. to 48s. Butter: Owing to tha ex- treme mild weather holders have been rather forcing sales, the open winter causing speculators to be very cautious. Monmouth, Saturday.—The market was not a large one. The following are the general quota- bons: Prime new milk fresh butter, Is. 6d. to Is. 7d. per lb. Home-made lard, 8d. per lb. Eggs, 12 to 14 for Is. Dressed poultry: Turkeys lid. per lb.; geese from 5s. to 7s. 6d. each, or about lOd. per lb.; fowls, large size, 3s. 9d. to 4s. each, or about 8d per Ib. ditto, small size, from 4s. to 5s. 6d., or about lOd. per lb.

TKADJi KEfOKlb. i —, 10. [from OUR OWN hctoktkrs, TRADE CORRESPON- DENTS, THE PKESS ASSOCIATION," THE "CENTRAL NEWS," AND OTHKR SOURCES. 1 1— THE COAL AND IRON TRADES OF SOUTH WALES. The demand for steam coals has continued very good, although during the past week at Cardiff some shippers have been rather slack. In a few cases it has, therefore, been possible to obtain slight, concessions for ready shipment, but, taking business all round, a firm stand is still maintained. At. Newport there is apparently an even more in- dependent tone than at Cardiff, as all shippers at the former port are extremely well off for orders. In the house coal department there remains a steady demand, and the late rise is generally maintained. No. 3 small, however, is not in quite such brisk request, and the condition of affairs in France appears to have affected busi- ness here in several branches. In the heavy timber trades things arc quiet; there is still a steady demand for and a good supply of pitprops. Iron ore is easy, and the more regular manner in which steamers engaged in this business have been able latterly to make their voyages has weakened rates of freight homewards from Bilbao. The freight market is still in a not very animated condition, but operations in the direction of the Brazils, West Indies, and United States have an advancing tendency. In the iron and steel trades activity continues to prevail. The coal clearances from Cardiff, Newport, and Swansen. during last week reached the excep- tionally high total of upwards of 190,000 tons, the returns from each port showing an increase upon the average quantity sent away. THE ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF HOUSE COAL. As announced by us as certain to take place, the price of house coal was duly advanced at Ply- mouth, Cyfarthfa, and Dowlais on Wednesday, Feb- ruary 1. From inquiries made by us, we find that in all cases the coalowner is the only one who realises any advantage—the local coal sellers in some cases suffering a loss by the advance-and that it is intended by the coalowners to give such an advance to the colliers as will make them par- ticipate in the benefit. This is a most satisfactory arrangement, and will, we trust, nip in the bud the projected movements that were just getting on foot. We further learn that, as regards the Merthvr colliers, only a minority could be found who would support any lupture at the present time. Trade is good, and the misery of the past is not yet forgotten. THE ADMIRALTY COAL CONTRACTS. The Government contracts for steam coal sup- plies at the various stations and depots in this country and abroad have just been decided. Out of the total quantity of 84,000 tons, we hear that the Glamorgan Coal Company have been successful in securing 56,000 tons, to be delivered at Malta and Portsmouth. To Messrs. A. Tylor and Co. have been given the contracts for Hong Kong, Cape Town, Ascension, Bermuda, Sheerness, Haulbowline, and Chatham, amounting in all to about 15.000 tons. The Devonport quantity of 9,000 tons will be supplied by Lewis's Merthyr steam coal, and Messrs. Bumyeat, Brown, and Co. are to send 1,000 tons to Halifax, Nova Scotia, while the coals required for the Royal yachts, about 3,200 tons, are to be furnished by Messrs. Nixon, Taylor, and Cory. Blaknavon WoMs.—The electric light, which Mr. William Thomas, of the Mardy, has been so successful in bringing to bear in assisting colliery operations in the Ferndale Valley, has within the last few days been tried at Blaenavon Works with great success. SWANSEA Copper Oek Trade.—The "Monthly Circular," furnished by Richardson and Co., Copper Ore Wharves, Swansea, states that the stocks of Chili copper produce remaining unsold there on the 31st of Decembertwere as follow— Rculus, 3,346 tons; copper, 9,616 tons; the present total stocks of Chili unsold at Swansea being—Ore, 6 645 tons regulus, 3,346 tons; copper> 9 051 tons; precipitate, 133 tons, representing about 11,200 tons fine copper. During the past month, on the 17th, 970 tons, averaging 92 per cent., realised by public ticketing 12s. 9id. per unit. There have been no private sales of produce here reported. The Chili charters advised for the last month are -First half, 1,700 tons in bars for England and 300 d tons for France; and for the second half, 650 tons bars and ingots, 450 tons pure in furnace material for England, and 700 tons bars for orders England or the Continent. Cur copper market, which commenced the year yery firm, with ri tendency to improvement, has been disappointing, but probably only attributable to the forced sales that nave taken place, caused, among other events, by the political changes that have been so disturbing in France. The financial difficulties reported from the same quarter have, no doubt, materially helped the fall in values. We quote to-day: Copper: Ores and regui^^ 13s. to 13s. 6d. per unit; tough cake, £ 72 to £ 76; Chili bars (g.o.b's,), £ 63 10s. to £ 64. Silver: Bar, 4s. 4d. P-r oz. standard. TIn: Knglish block, JS112 to £ 115; Straits, X107 to £ 108; Banca, jEllO to £ 111. Lead: English pig (o.s.b's.), £ 14 5s. to Xlit 10s. Spelter. Zlp, 5s. per ton. bank rate, 6 per cent.— Feb. 1,1882. The Miners' Permanent Provident Socibtt Asm THE RiacA ExpLOSwx.—We learn that the general secretary of the above society has forwarded a cheque for £ 35 to Mr. J. Miles, the local secretary of Risca agency. A funeral donation of £5 each will be paid to the relations of the three married members, whilst the relatives of the un- married member will receive £ 20. In addition to this the widosvs and orphans will receive payments as followCaroline Evans, widow of Francis Evaus, will receive a weekly allowance of 5s., and 2s. 6d. per -week for each of her children, viz., Elizabeth, aged nine, and Francis, aged six years. Emma Dixon, widow of Charles Dixon, will receive 5s. per week, and 2s. 6d. per week for each child, viz., Samson, aged twelve, Soloruon, aged nine, David, aged seven, Enoch, aged six years, and Sarah Elizabeth, aged five months. Tabitha. Gettings, widow of William Gettings, will receive a weekly payment of 5s., and 2s. 6d. for each of her four children, viz. William, aged eleven, Sarah Ellen, aged nine, Eliza Ann, aged seven, and Arthur, aged four years. The society is daily growing in favour 111 this district, and large num- bers are continually enrolling themselves as mem- bers. It is fortunate for the families of the poor fellows who were killed that they had joined tho societv, because it is evident that public sympathy to provide for the bereaved families would not have been aroused on this occasion. Tkade REVIVAL AT BRITON Ferry.—One of the blltst Iurnaces which was let out some months ago through the depression of trade, and which has since been undergoing extensive alterations, was put to blast on Tuesday, the interesting ceremony being performed by Mr. R. A. Wood. The re- starting of this furnace will be the means of giving employment to some hundreds of hands. It is also most pleasing to notice that the prospects of trade here are brighter than they have been for y many years.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A COUGH.- The following letter has been addressed to Mr. Powell, from William Boards, Esq.— -N ightingale Hall, Edmonton. Dear Sir -I have recently suffered much from a most violent cough, proceeding from a tickling in the chest, which no remedy, out of the many I resorted to, could allay Mv head WAS constantly aching, and my whole frame entirely shaken. Having seen the good effects of your BALSAM OF ANISBED in several members of my family, I purchased a small bottle, and when going to bed At night took a tea- spoonful in two tablespoonfuls of water, just warm. The effect was immediate it arrested the ticklln" in my chest. I slept well, and arose perfectly restored i" THE morning, with the exception of debility arising from fatigue by incessant coughing for some days previous. My cough entirely left me, and has never ret urned. Having since heard of a lady in the neighbourhood who for a long time bad laboured under a most distressing cough, and who had resorted to every remedy within her knowledge, I, sent the re- mainder of the bottle to her and that bug-standing, obstinate, and (as she thought) incurable cough was perfectly cured. You are at perfect liberty to make what use you may please of this communication, as THA contents are strictly true. I shall take every oppor- tunity of recommending your estimable medicine, feel- ing, as I do, fully assured of its T'Sicacy.—I am, dear air, yours truly, WX. Boards. "To Mr. Thos.
