MONEY MARKET.
MONEY MARKET. [SPECIALLY TELEGRAPHED.] I LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. The money market is still quiet, and the easy tendency remains unchecked. The Im- perial Bank of Germany has reduced its rates of discount from 4 to 4 per cent., and 2 there is but little prospect of a return of firmness in any quarter just at present. The discount demand is quiet; three months' bills are quoted at 3g to 3 per cent. Loan P, 2 money is not, however, plentiful, and short advances are charged 3 to 4 per cent. The Stock markets are just now swayed by influences having distinct diverse effects. Cheapness of money tends to promote steadi- ness. On the other hand, the unsatisfactory state of affairs in Eastern Europe is causing evident anxiety, and the excitement reported to exist on the Berlin Bourse produced at times uneasiness here. The Stock Exchange in conscquence has mostly been depressed, but there was some slight rally towards the close. Consols were weak, and at one time were quoted at a decline of g, but ultimately recovered to last night's prices, closing at 100§ to 100| f'»r delivery, and 100| to 101 for the account. Reduced and New Three per Cents, 992t to 99. In the English railway market transactions were still limited. The uneasiness respect- ing continental political dtairs checked busi- ness, and at rimes caused weakness, but pnce3 uiumatelv railieci, anci final quotations in some cases showed an advance. Com- pared with yesterday the actual changes, however, were slight owing co small business done. At the close there was a strong de- mand for Southern A stocks, more particu- larly for Brighton A, which left oft at an im- larly for Brighton A, which left oft at an im- provement of | Caledonian rose 5 Great Northern A and Chatham, 2 > Preference, North Western, Sheffield Deferred, and Metropolitan, 1; South Eastern A, § and Midland, North British, and North Eas- tern, b" Indian railways were quiet, with no particular change. In Canadian railways business was not active. The market, however, was firm, and closed at about its best. Grand Trunks rose | to 4, Great Western 3-16. American railways, without being active, have "flown greater firmness, closing at some improvement.

SEIZUREOFGUARDIANS CHAIRS.
SEIZUREOFGUARDIANS CHAIRS. On Thursday three of the chairs recently seized by the high bailiff of the ccuuty-court or" Bristol under an execution in the board-room of St. Peter's Hospital, to satisfy the claim of the rector of St. Peter's against the Bristol Board of Guar- dians for his sermon fee, were 30ld by auction at Messrs G. S. Tricks and Co.'s. The sale excited a good deal of interest. The rostrum was occupied by Mr Wilkinson, who briefly announced that the chairs had ueen seized in the board-room of the corporation of the poor, and would be sold on account of the purchaser, Mr Sage. He added that the chairs had been valued by a member of the board as being worth JB3 5s or £3 10s each. The chairs were put up separately. The biddings for the first commenced at 20s, and soon ran up to 35s, at which price the piece of furniture was knocked down to Mr G. S. Tricks. The second chair was sold to Mr R. C. Stephens for 34s, and for the third there was a smart competition be- tween Mr Levy and Mr Tricks. Mr Levy's last bid was £2 2s, whereupon Mr Tricks offered £3 3s, and there being no advance on this figure the chair became his property.
THE LATEST ELECTRIC LAMP.
THE LATEST ELECTRIC LAMP. Mr Edison has recently patented an arc-lamp which, it is said, avoids the unsteadiness arising from impurity of the carbons. Lamps of this kind, as is well known, give by far the brightest light, but it has seemed impossible hitherto to eombine this great brilliancy with satisfactory steadiness. It occurred to Mr Edison while con- versing with a friend in New York that this re- sult might be achieved by causing the upper car- bon to revolve rapidly. He tested the idea at Menlo Park, using at first a handwheel, and, find- ing: this successful, he has fitted into his new lamp a small electro-motor, which makes the "candle" revolve at the rate of 3,000 revolutions a minute, and this, it is stated, ensures absolute equality. The current is thus made to perform a threefold duty—to supply the light, to turn the electro magnet, and to form the a.rc. This new lamp has not yet been seen in England, and it is uncertain whether it will be shown at the Electric Exhibi- tion now being held.
MORS JAXUA VIT.E.
MORS JAXUA VIT.E. Messrs Frost and Reed, of Bristol, are still ex- hibiting at the Town-hall, Cardiff, the allegorical painting, Mors Janua Vitæ" (Death—the Gate of Life). It is a magnificent work of art. Through the dark valley, encumbereù with the mouldering tombs of a bygone generation, a Christian war- rior has been toiling and fighting, and lingering near Inm has bCtèll the dml shadow of death. At the énd of the .alley, he, overcome with weakness, fails upon his knees at the foot of a moss-covered cros, be;tril1 the sacred monograms, I.H.S., wlllch tells him that the Captain for whom he has been so valiantly fighting is the Saviour of man- kind. The trusty sword is sheathed and upon the ground, and the casque, with its peacock's feather and falcon's pinions, emblematic of pride, vanity, and ambition, is likewise discarded, and the armour falling off. Then the Angel of Death lays the hand of a skeleton upon the knight's shoulder, and with the other draws a thick curtain aside, revealing all the glories of the heavenly kingdom, at the same time giving the faithful soldier the promise that, as he has been faithful unto deflth, he will be rewarded with a crown of life. The knight hears the words, and with hands clasped in prayer, and a countenance on which is depicted a holy adoration, he listens to the countless thou- sands singing praises unto Him who sits upon the throne and unto the Lamb. The Angel of Death is transformed into one of light and beauty, who gazes with love and compassion on the warrior. The aee6.or;8 have been designed to elucidate and intensify the central idea of the picture. The wild roses, traceable behind the fig-me of dGath, represent the pure and holy joy of Heaven. At the entrance to the unseen stands the white hly, emblem of that holiness without whicL no màn can see (od." But to our view its stem is crossed by the over- blown hemlock, and its roots are hidden bv a cruciform tombstone—death and the grave, the portals through which all must pass to the life beyond. Rank weeds, and thorns, and withered branenes-slll Hnd suffering, and sorrow -are tangled around the grave; but nn the shoulder of the dark moss-clad stonea. white butterfly, spotted J with black, 1; seen escaping frnal its crystllised bed, suggesting that througl the cross even" the soul that sinneth may attain eternal life the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." Immediately behind the figures are tombs half hidden in mist and within the dark- ness of the valley are indicated the graves of an earlier race. In the dim sky above, a clear and steadfast star indicates the everlasting duration of the heavenly life the waning moon on the horizon is intended to typify the mutability and evanescence of the life of this world.

GLASGOW ffiON TRADE.
GLASGOW ffiON TRADE. GLASGOW, Friday. There has been a decided improvement this week in the Scotch iron market. Among the influences which have produced this change are the improved shipments of pig iron, the smallquantity 01 iron, comparatively speaking, now being stored, and the reduction in the rate of discount. Another thing which has operated perhaps more bcnencially than anything men- tioned is a report to the effect that the ironmasters are in favour of further curtailing the produc- tion of pig-iron. Letters have passed between some of the Scotch and Cleveland smelters on this subject, the proposal being that an additional 7g per cent, of the furnaces should be extinguished, which, with the 12 per cent. now out, would make 20 per cent, in all. The proposal, if carried out, would certainly have an important effect upon the trade. In the course of the week war- rants have improved in price Is 6d per ton, and makers special brands also show an advance vary- ing from Is to 2s per ton. Since this day week the stock of pig-iron in Messrs Connal and Co.'s Glasgow stores has been reduced by 815 tons, and now amounts in the aggregate to 630,361 tons. It is believed, however, that not- withstanding the good export and home trade, stocks in makers' yards are still being augmented. During the past few days some very good orders for iron have been received from the continent. In the market a large speculative business has been done, the buying having been particularly heavy. There has been a good business this week in hematite iron, the quotations of which are firmer. The manufactured iron and shipbuilding trades continue active, but coals are rather dull.
COLLISION IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL.
COLLISION IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. Early on Friday morning two Cardiff-bound steamers were in collision in the Bristol Channel, one of them being so seriously damaged that she had to be towed to her destination. It appears that the screw steamer Athlete, light, from Caen for Cardiff, and the screw steamer (rabalva, of and for Cardiff, with a cargo of iron ore from Bilbao, were in collision about seven o clock cut the Brcaksea Lightship. The Athlete, it is said, fell across the bows of the Gabalva, her main compartment tilled, and in answer to ner signal of distress, the Cardiff steam-tug, City of Glou- cestjer, took her in tow to Penarth lioads, and subsequently to the Roath Basin. The Gabalva is reported to have sustained very little damage, and she also docked in the Roath Basm in the forenoon.
A GARROTTER WHIPPED.
A GARROTTER WHIPPED. Kelly, the garrotter, sentenced to ten strokes of the birch at the last sessions in Dublin by the Recorder, for garrotting an old gentleman, re- ceived his punishment OIl Wednesday. The Dublin Freeman says The service of a stalwart man was procured for a small sum to administer the punishment, no prison official having applied for the objectionable job. Kelly having been stripped, heavy weights were attached to his feet, and he was placed in a slanting position, so that that portion of his body which it was necessary to get at was easily flayed with the birch rod. This rod was of a very formidable character, and might be compared to three canes twisted tightly to- gether. Few persons, excepting those in authority or on business, witnessed the performance.' The weights attached to his feet were on the ground, so that it was impossible for the young gar- rotter to kick, while his wrists were held by warders. The doctor to the Richmond Prison was in attendance. The strokes were adminis- tered a few inches below the spine, not as was the custom in the army, across the shoulders, back, and sides. The strokes were inflicted with great strength, and after the tint couple or so, blood began to ooze. Kelly screamed and shouted in a most violent manner. He endeavoured to wrench his wrists from the warders, while with his head, which was also in he tried the but- ting system.' The weights, however, bound him hard and fast. The whipping occupied about 10 or 15 minutes, and there was no doubt that the whipper, judged by the impressive zeal with which he performed his task, had little sympathy with the offence which Kelly thus expiated. The prisoner was not much marked, but it is not bard to believe that be will remember for aconsideraule time the severe flagellation."

A JOCKEY IN ULOW WATER.'
A JOCKEY IN ULOW WATER.' Thos. Carroll, who was formerly a, jockey, was charged at the Leeds police-court with being drunk and begging in Chapeltown-road on Thursday. On being asked if he had anything to say in de- fence, he replied that he had been nearly all over the Continent, and had ridden for nearly all the aristocracy of England. lIe was now, however, at very low water, and had a diseased chest. He was ordered to pay 6s, including costs, or to go to gaol for three days for being drunk, and for beg- gingjio was sent to prison for 14 days.
A DESPERATE MUTINEER.
A DESPERATE MUTINEER. A desperate mutineer, William Bowen, a coloured seaman, was charged at Plymouth, on Thursday, with mutinous conduct on board the Prince Rupert, of Liverpool. Shortly after leaving Bombay the prisoner refused obedience to Captain Kean's orders, and violently assaulted the chief officer. For this he was confined in irons for nearly a week. Upon his release he fastened his teeth upon the same officer's neck, inflicting a shocking wound. He was again cast in irons for some days, but being again released he drew his knife and attempted to stab the boatswain, only desisting from his menacing atti- tude on the captain presenting a pist -1 at him and threatening to shoot him down. Shortly before entering port lie struck the captain in the face, and was placed in solitary confinement until the ship's arrival. The prisoner, who glared wildly about the court, was remanded.

ATTACKS UPON THE SOVEREIGN.
ATTACKS UPON THE SOVEREIGN. The law as to attacks upon the Sovereign is very severe and precise. It is contained in two statutes, the first dealing with attempts to kill or hurt, the second with attempts to intimidate. The first statute, 36 Geo. III., c. 7, made perpetual by 57 Geo. III., c. 6, makes It treason to compass, imagine, devise, or intend death, or any bodily harm tending to death;" the punishment for treason (mitigated of its attendant horrors by 54- Geo. lit., c. 146, and 33 and 34 Vict., c. 23, s. 31) being death. The second statute. 5 and 6 Vict., c. 51, makes it a high misdemeanour "to dis- charge, or attempt to discharge, or point, aim, or present at or near the person of the Queen any gun, pistol, or any other description of firearms," whether loaded or not, with intent to alarm her ra.ie>;ty," the punishment to which the offender is liable being penal servitude for seven years, or imprisonment for three years, with the additional liability to be publicly or privately whipped as often and in ueh manner and form as the court shall order and direct, not exceeding thrice." A subsequent statute, 25 Vict., c. 18, provides that no offender shall be whipped more than once for the same offence but it may be doubted whether this provision applies gene- rally, or is restricted to offences punishable by summary conviction only. ou;-ttal.

BARGOED AND DERI COAL TRADE.
BARGOED AND DERI COAL TRADE. Around this district tie house-coal trade keeps very good, and the men at the several coliierios are working with tolerable regularity. At the steam-coal collieries higher up the trade is also brisk, and the men have had scarcely any idle fme since the present year commenced. There has been a rumour cuirsnt for some time past that a new colliery is about to be commenced midway between Bargoed and Pengam, upon Gwrthonor lands, as there is still a large piece of the Myny- ddislwyn seam of red ash house-coal, extending from there up to the Gellvgaer mountain. In fact this is the largest portion of this famed house-coal that remains unworked at present, so it is said It is generally expected that steps will be taken early in the coming summer with a view of sink- ing to it. This will be a good thing for the sur- rounding neighbourhood. The coke trade, gene- rally speaking, is not very brisk, and prices keep low. It is currently reported that some of the coke makers intend having the small coal ground line, with a view of improving the quality of the coke. Meetings have been held this week at s pne of the pits to cons'der the advisability of sending representatives to the colliers monthly delegate meeting. The majority of the men, however, are of opinion that once in three months would Ge otten enough.

THE CORNISH TIN TRADE.
THE CORNISH TIN TRADE. PENZANCE, Friday.—A quiet tone prevailed in the Cornish mine share market up to yesterday, and the dull state of the London metal market caused a reduction in tin standards of £2 a ton. Yesterday the market became more active, and a few shares, including East Pools, Agars, New Cook's Kitchen, and West Seton are much stronger. At the Wheal Agar meeting a debit balance of £6,623 was shown, and a call of J31 per share made. At North Busy a loss of £1,216 and a balance against the mine of JB143 was reported, and 5s per share called up.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT. MANCHESTER, Friday.—A better feeling has sprung up in our market since Tuesday, and a fair amount of business has resulted in some de- partments at hardening prices. To-day the tone is firm, and on yams spinners ask a slight ad- vance, which tends to check enquiry and to impede business. The demand for cloth has somewhat improved, but in this department prices still re- main very unremunerative.
SMOKING IN A COAL MINE ATI…
SMOKING IN A COAL MINE AT NEATH. At the Neath Petty-sessions on Friday—before Messrs Griffith Llewellyn, Charles Evan Thomas, W. Leyson, Rowland Thomas, and the Rev. W. Griffiths, B.D, William Watkins, of the Latt, Neath, collier, was summoned by Mr W. Hopkins, certificated manager of the Court Her- bert Colliery, for smoking-tobacco beyond the lamp room in the mine. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr J. W. Kempthorne prosecuted, and in reply to the bench, said that occasionally prisoner was in the workings. The prosecution did not pre.ss for a. full penalty. The bench imposed a fine of 10s and costs.
EXTRADITION OF A SOCIALIST…
EXTRADITION OF A SOCIALIST LEADER. Dr Edward Nathan Gantz, who was said to be one of the principal leaders of Socialism, was brought before Sir James Ingham, at Bow-street police-court, for examination, under an extradi- tion warrant, charging him with obtaining money by false pretences within the jurisdiction of the Netherlands Government. The allegations were that the prisoner had inserted advertisements in several German papers representing that he could provide coffee, sugar, etc., from Rotterdam at a cheaper rate than they could be purchased in Ger- many. He received orders and remittances to the extent of 20,000 florins. The order8 were never executed, and he absconded, and was arrested at Southampton by Chief Inspector Greenham in the earlier part of January. The prisoner has been remanded from time to time for the production of formal evidence from Holland in support of the allegations. Sir James Ingham formally committed the prisoner, who it is under- stood will apply for a writ of habeas corpus upon various points of law, the principal one being as to the jurisdiction of the Netherlands Government. Some considerable time was occupied in the ob- servance of the different formalities in extradition cases, after which the prisoner was removed from the dock. As he was proceeding to the door lead- ing to the cells, a strange-looking woman, who has been observed during the different examinationsto be taking notes, suddenly rushed forwaid and struck the prisoner with a note-book by throwing it at him, at the name time shouting out, You call yourself a Socialist You're not you're a thief I am a Socialist, and all Socialists are honourable people." She was removed from the court with great difficulty by Short, the second usher, at the same time demanding to be locked up. The case, it is understood, has created a great deal of interest in Socialistic circles, several melalgia of tltc movement being present.

--------FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. CARDIFF WANDERERS (PILOTS) V. PONTYPRIDD. —This match came off on the ground of the Pon- typridd club on Thursday afternoon. The ground was in good condition, and a fair number of spectators assembled to witness the game. At 3 o'clock Bridie kicked off for Cardiff; before Tre- harne could return the Cardiff forwards were on him, and the first" maul" took place inside the Pontypridd 25. The maul lasted for about a minute, when the Cardiff forwards broke away and dribbled the ball over Pontypridd goal-line, causing them to touch down. After the kick out the game was oi a give-and-take nature, Spicket, Arthurs, and Treharne showing up well for Pontypridd, and Bridie, Higgins, Dido," and Clare doing good work for the Pilots. Spickett passed to Treharnc, who got round the Cardiff forwards in grand style, and was only collared by the back, Keen, about ten yards from the goal line. Some heavy mauls now took place in front of the Cardiff goal, but Cardiff, yard by yard, relieved the pressure, their forwards playing well together. Bridie here greatly assisted his side by his run- ning punts, Dido and Higgins making Sallie very useful runs. From a scrimmage, about the centre, Dido got the ball, and made a splendid effort to get over the line; he passed man after man, and when collared he passed to Morse, who got over the line, and secured a try near the flag-post the kick for goal failed. After the kick out Pontypridd carried the ball into the Cardiff 25. Bridie got the ball, and made a splendid run, and was only stopped by Treharne a few yards from the goal line. From the maul" Cardiff forwards again dribbled over the Pontypridd line, and made them touch down. Ends were now changed, and the ball sent rolling. Clare made a grand run for the pilots, and removed the play close to the Pontypridd goal. Treharne, Spickett, and Arthurs made good attempts to break away, but Higgins was always on their track, and they could not pass him. Clare," Dido," Bridie, and Higgins kept constantly on the ball, and by some good combined play took the ball over the Pontypridd line, and secured a touch in goal. No side was called with the ball in the centre of the field, the score reading—Cardiff Pilots, one try, one touch in goal, and three touches down to nil. The pilots' team have improved very much during the last month or two. This is their first season at football, and they bid fair to outstrip most of the older teams in the neighbourhood; in fact, they have three or four men iit almost to play in any team. ToNYrANDY WANDEUKRS v. TBEHEKBEUT.— The return match between these two clubs was played at Tonypandy last Thursday, and proved a very closely contested game. During the first half Treherbert scored a goal, and during the second part Tonypandy secured a try, which they failed to convert into a goal. Scrimmages were the order of the day. The game resulted in favour of Treherbert by one goal and two touches down. The following is a list of the players Treherbert Back, H. Williams (captain) three- quarter backs, H. Brace and W. Jones quarter backs, W. R. Beavan and W. Williams for- wards, T. Richards, D. Davies, W. Allen, R. Jones, L. Williams, D. O. Jones, T. Williams, E. Morgan, A. Edwards, and T. Lodwick.

DEATH IN A POLICE STATION. Upon Mr d'Eyncourt taking his seat at the police court, at Westminster, Chief Inspector Sherlock, of the 13 division, reported that a drunken prisoner was dead. The man's name was John Taylor, a labourer, aged 70, of 18, Vauxhall-bridge-road, and he was charged at 1.30 a.m. with drunkenness, and gave his name and address properly, and was in the ordinary course of things placed in the cell and visited occa- sionally. At about four o'clock lie appeared very ill, and was taken to the charge room and placed by the fire, and he expired before medical aid could be obtained. He had been seen to fall about before taken into custody.—Mr d'Eyncourt had the charge sheet marked l: reported dead."

These pills strengthen the nerves, and are the safest sreneral purifiers of the blood. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to tlieiii. They despatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fulness at the pit of the stomach, abdominal distensions, and regulate alike capricious appetites and confined bowels—tho commonly aecom- Sanying signs of defective or dimished nerve tone, lolloway's Pills are particularly recommended to per- sons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually fall into a nervous and irritable state, unless some such restorative be occasionally taken. 5 PIANOFORTE TUNING DEPART- MENT. rpHOMPSON AND gHACKELL, Sole Agents for the BRINSMEAD PIANOS and the ESTEY ORGANS, Have a large and experienced staff of Tuners from Broad wood's, Collard's, Kirkman's, and other eminent London Firms, and are, therefore, prepared to senll any distance at the shortest notice.

MR THOMAS A. SHERIDAN, of Elpl'in, Ireland, writes :—" For three days and nights 1 was a stranger to rest and sleep; racked and alinolt killed with a hard cough. I tried all kinds of remedies, but to no purpose. At length a friend kindly supplied me with a quarter of a small bottle of your Balsam, and told me to try it, which I accord- ingly did. The result has been miraculous. The cough has almost ceased, and I have once more found out (thanks to your Balsam) what it is to enjoy sleep and life." ITS EFFICACY in CASES of CON- FIRMED ASTHMA is PROVERBIAL. Chas. Land, Esq., of Eaton-terrace, Bury Old- road, Manchester, writes I have for many weeks been afllicted with a most painful cough in fact, I was almost sure my lungs were affected.
