CHAMBER ot COMMEKCJ:.—A general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held on Thursday afternoon, at the Guildhall, tbe mayor (Mr J. Livingston) presiding. There was but a small attendance. The business on the agenda was to Cmsider the desirability of petitioning the Postmaster-General for the north mail being brought in r% roi and taken frofti Swansea and, the neighbourhood by the 'London and North Western Railway Company. The subject wis introduced by MrW. Doran, secretary to the chamber. From hi tattiments it appeared that the delivery of letters from w the north took place at a quarter past 11 in the morning to those peraons who have boxes, whilst those who had not got boxes didn't get their lettr rs till haif»j>ast 12, and some- 'times 1 o'clock- It would, he argued, be a decided advantage to e whole town it they could gotJetters at theaame time as they got them in Cardiff and Newport. He saw no f'ehson why they should not l^ceive their "lettars nine o'clock in the morning^ and send tbem from Swansea at fl ve to half-past five; iwd lieargned that it was perfectly practicable; whilst as afe p-e,-eiit fcheywere placed at a disadvantage in busiu ess as compared with Gar 'diff. Mr Wolteri moved T hpt this chamber do petition the Postmaster-General that the delivery and despatch from and to the North from the Swansea district be by the Londdn and- North Western Hailway, for- the pur- pose of earlier delivery arid later despatch. Captain T^Jloeh secondedtfce'motior'. Inth^conrseof thecofi- ▼e^sation that enstied, the M^yor remarked that it was at) extraOTdinairy thing that in a question that affected id much tti/e whole of Swansea, so little interest was taken. The motion wa.;¡, agreed to. A letter had been received by the secretary from Mr :osser,offering a room At 17, Sotnerset place, for the chamber to meet in, afc ,n rental of £ ?•" per annum.

ANOTHER LIVtti TESTRY MEETING ■ -SSEA. AT SCENE IN Tftfc CHURCHYARD. The paSntpl proc-c Mi*s which have fo-r oom,- months taken place in connection with the services of St Mary's parish church, in cousequehce of the want of harmony r etrvvppn the late vicr, the present senior curate, aitd Mr Prince, the organist, as fD' the musical services, have at length culminated i^ a determination of 101 rate- payers a;»airifit 72 to give the orgainigt six niolith-t" notice to jeave the urch, iu accordance with the terms of fitS engagement.

The iiev I'. D. Thompson, senior curate,oci,ap;ed'tho cbair. The v HAIBMAH, having re d the notice convening the, meeting, said no one could regret.uuro, than he d'd the cause of the present .^athtrnig. They had met in come-, qnence of a resolution passed at the last vestry meeting, wid in accordance with that reflation thevv had come to See what could lie lone to F-eftic- the that had o.ioi)g existed in the church. They were there as parishioners, as Churchmec,a3 members of the congrega- tion; and he suggested, for the congjfleratioii of those prevent, that those, who vote more closely connected with the chii who'worshipped in tiie church— thould, if poesibit, be the persons tp. decide the question before them but, of course, the parishioners generally nad a voice in the matter, and therefore they were not willing, nor did they wifh, iu any wAy but a moral sfense, to exclude them from saying'what they had to say that day. He was w-atous t,) say, btfoe he sat down, that they ought to divest their mindp of the .1cleik that this was a meeting for personal mat- ters All personalities, he tfu^ed, would be kept out of the way, so th they iiuglit deal with the question on broad' gefteral prouttda—taking it as a matter,between th congregation and the oigacilt, and ot as a private nutter between him (the senior .curate) Jflid the drijanist. He then referred to some remarks in a local contemporary, which he r.e^# —" We have it on tte nndoubted testimony of the lite churchwardens, .fchoti-* retirement Just now js a loss to the pariah, aud of r Morris^.that the curate was asked on Easter Sunday wjbert the Jafcy vicar lay dead-& suitable occa- sion to bury strife—-to shake hands with the organist, oyer pas^differences, but he refused to do so."

The priatea of Isig metul appear to be arrested ia their dowftwaad ccw8»,.and iqr tbe present, at least, they have tou'eued tae lowest point which they may be ex- "^e'obed- to reachi ?Tfre deliveries on foreign and Scotch acoawrt keep good, and the iron is absorbed, so far a* can be ascertained, about aa fast as it is made. Every* thing ccnddered,' this is eminently satisfactory, and >eally is taattar for snej^rise, seeing the low condition to wi^n^iiMn^ have ran in fbe local trade. The rail mills, as a rule, in1 MitMlesbotough, Siockton, and Darlington aresttfpp'sA'Irfli'wtorks here and there is Still engaged it is only to a limited extent The men at Bolckow, YjiUghan, and Co.'a Middleiborough Rail Mills were laid off last week idthe number of 7d0 or 800. Taking th»' wlUle distriet through, a vast number oi uW, sure nfw OTieruployed. Many have left in search of work elsewhere, and others found eDft- t'igt thii thni of the year tn agricrrlturtil trpera- tions- There anet however, after all a considerable i: .proportion left behind, and though much is not board of ft, there fe no doubt that a considerable amount of suffering e«istsi The opkiione prevalent. to the future of the icon trade differ with almost every indi- vidual. The general feeling with respect to rails, however, is that ft will take a very long period to bring j that industry tqp to its former standard, even if it should ever be brought up ^gaip. To make rails as they have 3 oeen mide in the pist is out of tbe question. j £ t' must 5 AUttk a «uok iwjfroved class of iroa, or else the rail-. ,4 ytfWnvavW will necessarily resort to steel. The feir # Anqun ries lately, reported for iron rafts result iu very little i+,t, k."foi thin district. Though thv Welsh trade be bad, the manufacturers there generally ruau&ge to secure more w,ork tlian can be obtained in this digtrict. We lately hfcard of a tfase •where a Welsh firm took a heavy raft orcter for £ & 15*, whilst .£6 is the lowest figure in* thie district. The plate trade Is ijuiet. There is very little fresb "^MhaBd, but price»s*» fairly maintained at the quota- tions of last monv. Tie., -£7 58 to JEy 7s Gd at the works. Itis scarcely likely that the letter half of the year will > be anything like equal to the first half for tinplate dAakeii), nnaatisfaefecDry as the last six months must have b"a. in mauy, reop"_b. There has been a slightly bettor 'enquiry for bars, which are at EG 7s 6d for ordinary kirds,and £ <7«4d for puddledH>are. The quotations «*f pig iron are, on the average, No 1* 49s, No 3 45s Od, No 4 forge 43s 6d, less que par cent commission.' Forge qualities are sold lower in som# .is,. We haWe ltea*4 of 6d to li per ton less taken tor G.M.B. The ironworkers have withdrawn their claim for a reconsidi-ration of tlio wage* question. This, however, enly brings theip. up to the 18th July J-eit, when tbe employeifl oan, if they choose, ask for a further reduction. Such s step, however; is not anticipated, the present rate of 80 3d per ten Aelng as low as it can be exacted that the men would work at puddling. The Durham pitmen have turned round from their first Jwcpres:-<ed*fetermiujd;eri not tor accept arbitration'imi e uucation of a iurtlier reduction. A majority have declared for that mode of settling wages, and the arrange? ments for, carrying ont arbitration are b«ng wade. Tn the NAftbombe^land coal tn.i. a question 834 arisen Tbetwe^n the coalow^ers and the P-?R as to the large 't)roi)(tttbn of small tti large coal; both being paid for at the -snrne pries, If the present large extent of coal is produced, tbjere will bearu ^ttempt to geta reduction of wages. A Amputation of masters and men "has, however, tw^n appointed te txamlne into the Wel*b method of working steam coals, by whiob ft 13auak amailer propertien of ?maJI coal is nude. Till the deputation present th«ir report, the matter will be left In abeyance. The pricea of coal end oeke are unchanged. Best households are Ha 6d to 12s at the pit. There has been teAdy deli- very, the time of year considered, maintained for the liondon market by-sea. The demand for steate coals on the Tyne and Wear jreqm steady, and late rates sgo maintained.
