MONEY MARKET. .
MONEY MARKET. [siF.CfAI.tY TF.LKOKAIHID.J LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. Ko ehange was made in the Bank rate. The money market continues easy, with a pood supply of capital offering, and quotations rather inclined to droop than otherwise. Three months' bills were quoted as low as IJ to 2, and about 1 to li per cent. is charged for short loans. There was more demand for bills, and the tendency of continental exchanges is against us. The Paris Cheque tate is telegraphed 25.15. The charges in Bank returns were of no special ianpertance, hut the result was satisfactory. The reserve shows 1111 increase of £ 315,812, making up a decrease of £ 328,345 in note cir- sulation, and a lots of 12,433 in bullion, the pro- portion to liabilities being 40'2 agaiust 39 01 per tent, last week. Other deposits increased f,601,925, but public deposits declined L645,666, and Government securities were £ 300,000 less. The Stuck Exchange exhibited greater steadi- ness, but ac the same time a want of animation was observed. Transactions have, however, been sufficiently extensive to influence values to a fan- extent, particularly of sound securities. The Sue weather improving harvest prospects, growing increase in the value of money, and the absence ef fresh political complications' have all been con- ducive to greater firmness. Consols were rather weaker, at 993 to 100 for delivery and the atcount Reduced and New Three per Cents, 100 to lOOk. English railway* were iinn during the earlier part of the day, there being a good demand for Sheffield Deferred, South Eastern A, North British, and Great Western. On announcement, bowjver, of the North Eastern dividend at the late of 7* per cent, being ihe same rate as last year, itiereise of £109,000 in the traffic, the tone ot the market was distinctly altered. North Eastern, after being 171 fell to 169g, and other stock gave wty. inot-th Eastern felll North Western Midland, i; Caledo- Bian and North British rose § Great Western and Sheffield Deferred, Sheffield Ordinary, Chatham issues, Metropolitan and District, i; South Eastern A, I Brighton A, Indian railways were firm, with however only a moderate injuiiy. There was not much doing in Canadian rail- way*, and the home quotations were weak. Grapd Trunk receipts show an increase of £ 1,145. Grand Trunks First Preference fell § other issues, y to 4 Great Western, 1-16. In the American railways, market dealing's were only moderate, but the tendency was not unfavourable. Erie rose 4 Illinois Central, j4- Philadelphia and Heading, J Wabash issues, Pennsylvania, g. Foreign railways were mostly quiet. Mexican traffic shows showed an increase of £ 3,400 and •bares were firm in consequence. Mexican rose Foreign government securities though quiet were firm. Egyptian were again rather better, and there was some inquiry for Ottoman Defence and Turkish Tribute issues. Other speculative issues were firm. Egyptian Preference rose 1 Unified § Daira 1^; French, Turkish Tri- bute, 1, but other issues fell 1-16 to g I'taiian, £ Telegraps.—Anglo-American rose 4 Direct United States fell i.

EBBW VALE BOARD OF HEALTH.
EBBW VALE BOARD OF HEALTH. The monthly meeting of the above beard was held on Thursday, the following members being present :-Messrs R. Jordan (chairman), Thomas Morgan, R. Lewis, W. Lloyd, and T. Henry. With regard to a dangerous place in the Man- ruocl-road, where it is crossed by the Ebbw Vale Company's indine, the Chairman promised to make an inspection of the spot in company with Mr Henry, and report thereon. Some corre- spondence with the Great Western Railway Com- pany was read respecting two new roads and a bridge at Victoria and Cwm, the company desiring to have room left for a third line.—The Surveyor stated that he bad written to the company stating that this would increase the cost of the bridge materially, and the board were desirous not to be put to this extra expense. As no reply had been received to this com- munication, the matter was left in abeyance.— The inspector's report again showed that there was considerable overcrowding, but not nearly BO much as at the previous meeting, the worse case bein<j still 15 persons living in two rooms. The people, as an excuse for not reducing the number of lodgers, had stated that they had not houses to go to. 140 pigs were kept in the district, but they were all outside the prescribed distance permitted, and were kept clean. The report was regarded as satisfactory.—Mr Henry said the keeping of stinking wash near the houses was the worst thing. -Mr Lloyd said that at Tredegar, after the riots, it was found that the pigs' wash was kept in one of the houses. It was stated that the decrease in the overcrowding was owing to a number of Irish- men having left the ^lace.—A communication was read from the Loca overnmnt Board, inquiring what steps the board had taken for dealing with the many sanitary defects referred to in a pre- vious letter.-The clerk (Mr J. E. Ward, Newport) was instructed to reply that they were dealingwith the overcrowding,extending the water, considering the erection of a fever hospital, the drains were, having attention, and the company was looking to the water closet arrangements. Upon the recommendation of the surveyor, and at the coot of JE60, it was decided to order a patent governor for reducing the pressure of the water in the Ebbw Vale district.—Dr Davies, the medi- cal officer, reported that during June there had been 34 deaths and 49 births. An epidemic and measles commenced during the month, and there had been numerous cases of German measles (a mixture of measles and scarlatina), with one fatal case, so far. In the Ebbw Vale ward the death rate was 31 "08, and the births, 40"44 per 1,000 in Beaufort, deaths, 22'80; births, 37*92. One case of typhoid was under treatment at Newtown, and two more were reported from Victoria. Eleven cases of scarlatina had occurred at Ebbw Vale and two at Beaufort. The death-rate was regarded heavier than in the previous month.

THE NEXT OF-KIN FRAUDS. The trial of Rogers, Mackenzie, Shakespear, Beeton, and Evans, charged with conspiracy to defraud in connection with the next-of-kin agency, was concluded on Thursday, before Mr Justice Day, at Manchester assizes. The defence was that the money paid to the prisoners was accepted by them for genuine professional services, and that their charges were not exorbitant. At the suggestion or the judge, the charge against Evans was withdrawn. The jury convicted Rogers, Mackenzie, and Shakespear of conspiracy, but acquitted Beeton. Sentence was deferred, pend- ing the decision of the prosecution as to whether they would proceed with the second indictment for false pretences against Rogers, Mackenzie, and Beeton.

;CARDIFF TRADE REPORT.
[SPECIAL RRPOHTS FP/OM OUR TRADE CORRESPON- DENTS AND EXCLUSIVE SOURCES.] CARDIFF TRADE REPORT. [SPECIAL REPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CARDIFF, Thursday Night.—The coal clearances reach as nearly as possible the satisfactory total recorded last week, and the average of the past six months is at present fully maintained. The weather has been rather boisterous at time, but this circumstance does not appear to have inter- fered to any extent with the number and carrying capacity of the ships entering the port this week, which have been in every respect equal to re- pi.acinar the clearances of the same period. This circumstance leaves the port at this moment well provided with tonnage, and augurs well for a maintenance of the present satisfactory activity of our export trade. Prices have undergone no quot- able alteration. The freight market has been rather more active this week. Orders are fairly plentiful. Sailing tonnage has been somewhat scarce, but a fair supply of steam tonnage has been offering foremploymunt, so that altogether a good amount of chartering has been done here during the week. There has been no change in coal freights to French ports. Outwara quotations for Spain are firmer. There is no alteration to report in connection with the iron ore carrying trade, either from Bilboa cr the Mediterranean. Rates out to Italian ports are firm, and the same may be said of those for Gibraltar and Port Said, and all quotations for the higher Mediterranean and Black Sea ports—Black Sea homeward business is still quiet. There is no change in outward rates for the Baltic. East Indian coal freights are very much improved. There has beeti considerable fluctuation in the homeward employment offering in this direction. West Indian coal freights are unchanged with few transactions. Quotations for coal out to Brazilian and River Plate ports are steady. Littleor nothing is doing at the moment in transatlantic steam steam chartering for coals. The demand for sail- ing and steam tonnage for the United States iron business is quiet at the moment. There is some appearance of improvement in the homeward freights offering in this quarter. Exports for the week :-Coal, 120,955 tons; patent fuel, 2,755 tons iron, 2,149 tons Coke, 595 tons. Imports for the week :—Iron ore, 21,001 tons pitwood, 3,839 tons.
--SWANSEA TRADE REPORT.
SWANSEA TRADE REPORT. SWANSEA, Thursday.—Trade during the past week has been quiet. Arrivals with cargo and vessels in ballast to load have been few, and the large shipments of the previous week having util- ised available tonnage, loading has been restricted below average quantities. During the week two steamers have been loaded with tin-plates and general cargo for New York, (Cambrian Line), the General Roberts taking 1,600 tons cargo and 300 bunkers, and the Hosleden 1,300 tons cargo. Imports include the following :—From France, 45 potatoes, 200 plaster stone, 5 ochre, and 182 pitwood Pilbao, 2,595 iron ore Sestri Levante, 818 copper ore Seville, 175 copper ore Libau, 1,100 qrs. oats Carrizal, 620 copper ore Quebec, 1,400 loads timber P. E. Island, 367 oats. Ex[>orl$.—Prance, 6,121 coals, 1,780 patent fuel; Catania, 1,050 coals Huelva, 1,150 coals San- tauder, 441 coals Madeira, 446 coals Fayal, 739 coals; Algiers, 1,900 patent fuel, 550 coals Genoa, 1,500 coals Leghorn, 1,450 coals Stock- al holm, 500 coals Pernambuco, 340 coals Fort- de-France, 620 coals Rio Janeiro, 291 patent fuel Little Bay, N F, 600 coke New York, 2,900 tons general cargo. Freights continue firm. Baltic have slightly de- clined, but Mediterranean are improved, Brin- disi and Port Said still being influenced by cur- rent events, the latter being now quoted at 14s.
NEWPORT TRADE REPORT.
NEWPORT TRADE REPORT. [SPECIAL REPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEWPORT, Thursday..—The trade of the port during the past week has not been such as might be desired. ihough coal shippers are in many cases well supplied with tonnage, there are, on the other hand, very short stems with some of them. Ready tonnage is, therefore, greatly in request where there may be orders in hand, but as freights are low the inducement held out to owners is not of a character to encourage business. There are a number of tips vacant in the Old Dock for want of vessels to load, and so many vessels are loaded and ready for sea that a few days' tine weather would leave the port in a very empty state unless there are a large number of arrivals to take the place of the departures. The Alexandra Dock, though somewhat better supplied with tonnage, leaves much to be desired in this way. The coasting trade is quiet, and there are not many vessels in the river. The iron trade is active so far, and some vessels of heavy tonnage have sailed this week with rails, etc., for the Cape and elsewhere. The import trade is brisk, and there haa been a good quantity of iron ore imported from Bilbao and other parts of Spain. Prices remain without alteration. One or two cargoes of timber have arrived, as also some cargoes of pitwood and potatoes from France. Prices of coal are without variation.
NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND…
NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND COAL TRADES. MIDDLESBROUGH, Tbairsday.—The pig iron trade during the present w<xk has shown considerable animation, the demand having very much in creased. Shipments of pig iron have been large, and altogether the appearance of the trade is much more satisfactory than has been the case for some time past. The lull which appeared when the Egyptian difficulty was liret announced lias since given way to more activity in business, and buyers came very readily forward towards the end of last week, purchasing to a larger extent than they had done for some time previously. The purchases then made and at the beginning of the present week were not confined to consumers, but the merchants bought rather freely. Middle- men have a fair quantity of iron in hand, which they are offering in some cases at slightly below makers' rates. As reported at Tuesday's market, makers advanced their minimum quotation to 45s No. 3, and this is likely to be maintained, if not increased. In fact, some of the makers already ask 44s 6d where they are well sold. In certain cases merchants have done business at 43s 9d No, 3, but the majority, believing that the market is likely to rise, do not sell iron unless they are compelled to realise. The corresponding stiffness of the Scotch market has also helped the Cleveland trade. Should Scotch prices be maintained or advanced, there is very little doubt that some improvement in the Cleveland trade would at once become ap- parent. There has been very little demand for warrants, especially as the holders have advanced the price to a rate somewhat higher than makers' iron. Nobody cares to specu- late in warrants, and therefore there is no incentive to buy them, seeing that for present delivery makers' iron can be got at an easier rate. Messrs Connal's Btock this week showed a smaller decrease than has been the case for the last three or four months. So far as the month has gone shipments have been good, and there have been some fair deliveries for South Wales. There is nothing new to report in the finished iron trade, excel,t that there is a slight stiffening tendency in sympathy with pig iron. The steel trade is rather better, there being some more inquiry, while prices of iron ra ls are not so excep- tionally low as was lately the case. There is also a strengthening feeling 111 the hematite iron t,.ide. The prices of manufactured iron stand at about: -Bars, E6 5s ship plates, JS6 15s boiler plates, L7 15s; sheets, La; angles, £ 6 5s, less 2 per cent, puddled bars, J64 nett. The coal trades have shown rather more anima- tion. This is especially the case with steam-coals, the demand for which on the Tyne and Wear can- not be met with anything like promptitude. This causes a stiffening of rates. Vessels have to wait considerably, and, though offers have been made of more money, cargoes cannot be readily obtained. 9s 6d per ton would be freely paid for best steam- coals, though 9s is the figure at which contracts were recently made before the present spurt. Manufacturing coals are unchanged, although they are firmly maintained. Household coals quiet. Coke is very firm, and is likely to show a tendency to stiffen in price should pig iron advance any further. The makers generally, however, have contracted for their supplies during the pre- sent half-year.
NEWCASTLE TRADE REPORT.
NEWCASTLE TRADE REPORT. NEWCASTLK-ON-TYNE, Thursday. The re- markable activity in Northumberland of trade led owners this week to demand an advance of 6d per ton. In many cases they have obtained it. The advance, however, has not been thoroughly established. Almost all the Durham pits are in full work, but prices are unchanged. Efforts are being made to force Newcastle best steam coal up to Welsh values, and some hope of success is entertained. In the iron trade there have been large transactions this week, and prices are better for pig. The chemical trade is considerably more active; ash makes better prices, and other articles sell at fully late rates.
--THE IRON, COAL, AND HARDWARE…
THE IRON, COAL, AND HARDWARE TRADES OF THE WEST MIDLANDS. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday. Business to-day was not very active, yet it was steady. Few complaints of the condition of makers' books were heard from the finished-iron firms, if we ex- cept the makers of plates who were still seeking orders, but without much success. Si.eet firms had mostly closed their books for galvanizing sorts, and the makers of the Lest qualities were seeking £ 8 per ton for singles. Some others were prepared to book a few small lots at from £ 8 5s to j38 7s 6d aud J38 10s for medium qualities. Hardly anyone could be found to quote LB 2s 6d for singles unmixed with doubles and trebles, for galvanizing. There was rather brisk competition for the orders which are promised for baling strip. As low a» £ 6 7s6d was nanud as a minimum at the works, while there were firms who asked as high as;67 10s to j37 15s, delivered in Liverpool. The last-named terms received but little consideration by merchants. There was less competition for petroleum hoops, which, because of the require- ment as to punching, are not in general favour. Two or three bar tiring whose quality stands high, reported themselves in the receipt of more business, on account mainly of Australia, but in some degree likewise for Government. The prices were from L7 10s and 98 2s 6d upwards. Me- dium bars were easy to buy at JS6 15s to £6! 17s 6d. While certain pig firms are fairly well sold, others sought new orders to compensate for de- layed deliveries to suit the convenience of a few consumers who have over-bought. Good all-mine pigs were still obtainable at £3 5s, other firms held for L3 7s 6d Tredegar forge qualities were not to be had at under the half-crown advance, notified in Wolverhampton yesterday. Coal was abundant. Large buyers in North Staffordshire communicated that they were buy- ing at less money than ever before. [BY TELEGRAPH.] BIRMINGHAM, Thursday.—Business was not very active to-day, yet it was steady. Sheet firms had mostly closed their books for galvanising sorts, and best makers asked j69 for singles; other makers were prepared to accept jM 10s and j68 5s. A brisk competition existed for hoops; the mini- mum at the works was £ 6 15s to £ 5 17s 6d. Tin- plates fairly active Welsh cokes 16s 6d per box delivered, and Liverpool pigs the same; native common sorts 30s, and particular qualities 50s and upwards.

No arrangement was come to, however, each party being strongly of opinion that its action had been the right one. It is presumed now that the matter will have to be tested by legal means.

THE COAL TRADE IN THE RHONDDA.
THE COAL TRADE IN THE RHONDDA. LOCK-OUT AT TYNYBEDW COLLIERY. The workmen of this colliery have been idle since Wednesday, the 12th inst. On Thursday and Friday, the 13th and 14th inst, they were idle for want of trucks. On Friday afternoon the pay-tickets were issued, and the workmen found that their usual standard rate of wages had been reduced. Consequently, they held a meeting among themselves to consider what steps they should take in the matter. They agreed at that meeting that they should not work on Saturday. Their district agent being from home that even- ing, they postponed the meeting until the next day, in order to have his advice on the subject. On Saturday, another meeting was held at the Griffin Inn, when it was agreed to send a letter to Mr Thomas, Maindy Hall, one of the proprietors, to inform him that they considered the reduction to be illegal, but that they would work on under protest until such time as they could give the com- pany a legal month's notice but at the termina- tion of that notice their several differences would have to be adjusted before they would resume work. This information was sent to Mi- Thomas through the manager, Mr Thomas Salatbiel. Mr Thomas sent word back to say that they would not be allowed to resume work again without an understanding that they would do so oil the new terms, under which they had been paid on that day. On Sunday night the night-shift men were not allowed to go to work, and on Monday morning, by Mr Thomas's orders, the manager took steps to prevent the general body of the workmen from entering the colliery, by which the whole pit's company were locked out, with the exception of the few men neces- sary to keep the workings in order. Those men's pay tickets were readjusted to the old standard rates before they entered on their work 011 Saturday morning. On Monday morning, be- tween e ght and nine o'clock, Mr Thomas came to the pit bank and held a meeting with the men, but no arrangement was come to. Both parties stood to their respective positions, the workmen offering to work the notice under protest, and the employer refusing unless they went in under the new terms, or that the agreement which they disputed about, the pith of which has already been published in the Smith Wales Daily ivewi, should be referred for its legal interpretation to some independent gentleman. In the afternoon of the same day Mr Thomas sent, through the manager, an offer to allow the men to resume work 011 their own proposed terms. The men then refused to go in without a settlement of the whole question, and asked to be allowed to take their tools out. This again was refused, and the offer was made to them to go to work on the terms proposed by themselves on Saturday. On Wednesday morning the men again met, and pro- posed to resume work on their old standard rates, with one amendment only—viz., that any work- man who should be called out from his working place to work on wages for the company should be paid at an equivalent rate to that earned in his own place. This the company again refused, and they also declined to allow the men to take their tools out. Eight horses were raised from the colliery the same day, and taken to the Gelli Steam Coal Colliery, another of the company's collieries, which is considered in the neighbour- hood to betoken a hard struggle. Several of the workmen have already commenced working else- where, and it is rumoured that the great majority of them are going to commence on Monday next at the Ocean Collieries.
A TRAGEDY AT SEA.j
A TRAGEDY AT SEA. At the Thames police-court, on Wednesday, John Anderson, alias Sidney Smith, second mate of the Ann Nottabohn, lying in the South-West India Dock, was charged on remand with causing the death of John Francis, formerly an able sea- man on the ship CuttySark,by striking him on the head with a capetau bar. Mr Poland, barrister, prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury, and Mr Anney, solicitor, defended. Frederick Clark, living at 30, Pell-street, St. George's East, said: On May 15, 1880, I joined the Cutty Sark as able seaman, and I knew the prisoner as chief mate, and Francis, a coloured man, who shipped as an able seaman. About July 8 or 10 the prisoner was in charge of the mornii g watch, and he said something to Francis about the way lie crossed the hatch, and was answered insultingly. 'I he prisoner then jumped across to where Francis was, and struck him, when blood commenced to run from his ears and nostrils. Francis went aft and complained to the captain, who said it served him right. The watch went below, and I saw Francis take an ordinary sheath-knife from his bunk. He commenced to dance and brandish the knife about. He then went to a grindstone, sharpened the knife, and walked towards the prisoner, who was then standing by the forerigging on the starboard side, and said to him, Mr Smith, you look out for me, for I'll murder you yet." The prisoner was then coining from aft towards Francis, who dashed the knife down on deck, breaking it in three pieces, and saying, I'll stick that into him before I have finished. The prisoner asked him what he meant, but he made no reply, and walked into the forecastle, leaving the broken knife lying on deck. Shortly after eight o'clock on the evening of August 10, the prisoner and I were in the watch, and Francis was on the fore- castle head. The long fore tack on the fore- castle-head was fast, and the prisoner called to him to let it go, but he either would not or did not hear, and he repeated the order twice over, but it was not complied with. All the watch then called out to Francis to let go the fore tack, and he said Very well," and let it go, one end of it going overboard. The prisoner said to me, What did he say ?" and I told him. The pri- soner then walked forward and said to Francis "What did you let go the fore-tack for?" To which he replied, You told me to let it go, and I let it go." The prisoner said, I did not tell you to let it go overboard," and Francis said some- thing which 1 did not hear. The prisoner said, "Give me none of your jaw, or I'll come up to you and murder you, you nigger. If I come up there, I'll throw you overboard." Francis replied, If you come up here to throw me overboard you will find I am not Reynolds (alluding to another man of colour 011 board). I have a capstan-bar waiting for you." It was a very dark night, and I could hardly see the next man to me. Francis was within six yards of the prisoner at this time, and I heard no more words, but a short struggle on the forecastle, and then the sound of a blow as if a person was being struck on a waterproof. Directly afterwards the prisoner came aft and asked the watch if they saw that nigtrer with a handspike, and on their reply- ing in the negative, he said, Well, he won't take another one to me in a hurry." As I was going forward I stumbled over the body of Francis, lying in a pool of blood. I saId to the prisoner, llalloa What's this ? What have you done now ? The prisoner told me to carry Francis to'the fore hatch, and ordered one of the apprentices to fetch a light. He then went aft, and told the captain what he had done. The captain came forward, and ordered Francis to be taken aft. He was still bleeding, and the front part of me was covered with blood while picking him up. He was carried be- tween decks. When I first saw Francis lying down it was about 5ft. to where the prisoner had been standing on the forecastle head, and he must have fallen from there on to the windlass and then on to the deck, a height of about 5ft. Up to that time 1 did not see anything in the prisoner's or Francis's hand. The same day I saw one of the ciew pick a capstan bar off the deck, about 10ft. from the forecastle head, on the main deck, and it was placed on the forecastle head, where it was usually kept. Francis never spoke, and died at nine o'clock the following night. After the death of Francis the captain was prizing an anchor, and he let the capstan bar found on deck drop over- board before we arrived at Anger, where the pri- soner left the vessel. On the way to Singapore the captain jumped overboard, and on arriving there I and a man named Rogers made a state- ment there before the magistrate. John Meldum, living at 8, Lumsden-street, Blackwall, having also given evidence, the pri- soner was committed for trial.

THE HARVEST IN SOUTH WALES.
THE HARVEST IN SOUTH WALES. REPORTS FROM CORRESPONDENTS. CAERPHILLY. The crop of hay in this district is very good. There are many acres mown, but the heavy rains for the last fortnight have allowed of very little being made and hauled. A great deal has been seriously damaged, and fine weather is anxiously hoped for. Should rain continue for a short time longer much of the hay will be useless for fodder. longer much of the hay will be useless for fodder. There is a large acreage still unmown, farmers fearing to cut it in the present unfavourable weather. Cereal crops are light, and have made little or no progress for the last fortnight. The potatoe crop is small, and much affected with disease in many places where the soil is heavy. SOUTHERNDOWN. The farmers in this neighbourhood complain that cereals in general have been very much re- tarded in growth by the continual downpour of rain and the absence of sunshine, and say that unless a speedy change takes place for the better, to ripen the corn in the ear, a very indifferent yield is anticipated. The ap- pearance of the root crops is of a very encourag- ing nature, owing probably to the continual damp state of the earth, and promises to be a good yield, with the exception of the potatoes, which have been very much affected with disease lately, and are likely in consequence to be a poor crop. DUNVANT. The continuous downpour of rain, which has prevailed in this district during the last fortnight, has had a very disastrous effect on the hay crop, especially as there is a great quantity of it cut, and, unless the weather soon alters for the better, it will not be worth the trouble of carrying. Something like one-fourth, however, remains uncut. The cereals also have greatly suffered from the same cause, and especially wheat, the crop being considerably below the average. Barley is ohly fair but the prospects of a good crop of oats are rather encouraging. Turnips ars in a very backward state owing to the absence of strong sunshine. A general complaint also pre- vails concerning the potato crop, as being not only slight, but to a vviy great decree attacked by the disease. GOWER. Fortunately in this district the hay harvest had not commenced before the wet season had begun, and very little clover had been cut beiore this week. The crop of clover aud hay is abun- dant, but much of the former has been beaten down by the heavy showers of rain. All that is wanting now is ifne weather. The early barley is poor, but the late one promises well. Che wheat is good as to quality, but light as to quantity, A few weeks of sunshine would greatly change Q1:d improve it. The early potatoes are not so abundant aud dry as usual, and the disease has taken hold of them. The late ones in the fields are looking excellent so far. Mangolds, swedes, and turnips are doing well. Gooseberries and currants are very plentiful. Apple trees aro generally blighted, so that the largest owners will have hardly enough for their ov. 11 use. LLAND1LO. The hay harvest has been seriously damaged by the long-continued prevalent wet weather. Only a few farmers have succeeded, by dint of great exertion, in housing any hay. Crops h -.ve been lying on the ground for weeks, exposed to the rain, and the uncut crops are greatly deteriorated in quality through loss of seed. Unless here be shortly a change for the better in the weather the outlook is bad. The crop, on the whole, is most abundant. Fears are entertained here, as else- where, with regard to the corn crops, that the absence of heat prevents the tilling of the ears, and that no very good crops can be expected. Other crops are generally backward. I KIDWELLY, The continuous wet weather has seriously affected the hay harvest, which promised to be a very good one, the crop being excellent. The bulk has not yet been mown, but large quantities have been lying oil the ground for a month, and there seems at present very little likelihood of hauling it in. The fact that a farmer in the neighbourhood, a few days since, carted a whole field of clover to the manure heap will give a fair idea as to the state of the weather here for some time, past. Unless there is a speedy change, grave fears are entertained respecting the corn crops, but with a return of fine weather a good harvest is anticipated. FISHGUARD. There is a fair prospect of an excellent harvest —notwithstanding all the rain that has been ex- perienced during the last month—with a favour- able change in the weather. The hay harvest is very backward, considerable quantities lying in the fields in heaps, and some very much damaged for the want of fine weather to secure it. The bulk is not mown. The crop is unusually good. Cereals of all descriptions promise well. Abun- dant crops, and in good condition as yet, but fears are entertained lest a continuance of the wet weather for another week should change the aspect of affairs. There has been less rain for the last three days, and the clouds seem to be scat- tering, but occasional showers prevent much pro- gress being made. If it continues dry a great quantity of hay will be stacked immediately. I)i y and heat is all that is required to make the present harvest an exceptionally good one. It is sincerely to be hoped that the farmers' prospects will Dot be blighted this year, as 110 part of the country has suffered more for the last four or five years from bad harvests and general depression than North Pembrokeshire, but the landlords, with a few honourable exceptions, seem to take littie or no account of this on rent days, as a return of evan a small percentage on the rental is very unusual. LAMPETER. The harvest in this agricultural district was of great promise until the recent heavy rain. The hay which was cut before the rains has nearly become worthless, and that now standing has 10llf{ been ripe, and unless it is cut soon will not be of much value. The crop is very heavy. The wheat, barley, and oats have not yet suffered irreparable damage from the rains, and if fine weather arrives, a heavy corn crop may be ex- pected here. The gr6en crops are backward, but look healthy. They have not as yet been at- tacked by insects, but the potatoes on some farms are slightly blighted. To summarise my report, I think the farmers will have crops above the average if the weather becomes favourable very soon. LLANARTH (CARD.) The weather has been extremely wet in this district throughout the greater part of last month and this month. A great quantity of hay has been mowed, and is rotting on the ground. Potatoes are likely to turn out a complete failure in many places. Oats and barley look pretty well on the whole, especially on the hill sides but wheat will fail below the average. Farmers are exceedingly anxious, and will have to suffer Beri- ous losses utiles the weather changes shortly. Garden produce is very inferior in quality tills year, and fruit is scarce. BRECON. The farmers of Brecon and neighbourhood are not behind their friends in the adjoining districts in complaining of the unsuitable weather for their hay and crops, although at one time it seemed as if favourable weather was to be their portion during the year, as about a month ago the heavy crops of grass showed signs of being fit for the scythe. At that period a great many crops of grass were harvested, and all appeared of good quality, and in quantity much in excess of last year unfortunately, a great quantity was cut during the fine weather, and much of it had to be left on the ground, some having been there up- wards of three weeks. No serious damage has as yet been done, but unless the rain clears up early, a great deal will rot away, and the value of the hay, which is a little better sheltered, will be deteriorated. The grain crops seem to be ot average quality, although without sunshine the prospect of the ears filling is but faint. Pota- toes are causing great anxiety, inasmuch as the disease as well as a blight have shown themselves in certain districts. Turnips and mangolds are doing well, and it is hoped that with a few weeks of warm weather, a great deal of the dreaded loss which has been the farmer's lot lately may be averted. YSTRADGYNLAIS. The incessant downpour of rain during the past weeks, and the variable state of the temperature, have very materially interfered with the progress of the harvest. The hay,for the most part,has been mown, and is lying out on the fields rotting. In many places it has been down for over three weeks. The potato crop is below the average. The cereals are backward, for while the straw of the wheat is very long, the cars are empty. The oats and barley, too, are suffering from want of sunshine; the straw is short and impoverished, and the ears empty. ABERGAVENNY. The harvest prospects in this neighbourhood are very gloomy. Excepting a few meadows in favourable spots which have been cleared very early, there has been no hay hauled in good con- dition in this district, and the bulk of it is now on the ground rotting. Many farmers have had acres out for the past three weeks. The crop of hay has been abovetheaverage almost everywhere. Some of the mountainside farmers have not yet begun to cut. The same may be said of the clover. As to the cereals, the prospect now looks very gloomy indeed. For want of hot weather the ears do not fill, and it is now evident that the yield will be indifferent everywb-r-, both as re- gards quality and quantity. The corn harvest will also be late in consequence of the prevailing cold and wet. The wheat stood pretty well until within the last few days, when it began to be checked in many places, and unless the weather becomes warmer and dryer in the course of arother week, the effect on all cereals will be c' disastrous. It is many years since the barley has looked so bad. It has been an extraordinary bad season for barley throughout except in very dry soils. Oats, at present, are looking fairly good in most places. The same may be said of the root crops, but the prolonged cold and wet is having the effect of checking the young swede plants in their growth, and there is no chance of cleaning them. The wet is making sad havoc among the potatoes, and the disease is very bad in most localities. GILWERN. This, like all other localities in South Wales, has suffered very much from the unseasonable weather we have lately experienced. The farmers naturally commenced cutting the hay about three weeks ago, fully expecting that the rain at that time would soon pass away. Unfortunately they have been sadly disappointed, the wet weather having continued until the present. Large quan- tities of hay, saturated with water and apparently of little value, still lie on the ground, presenting to the agriculturist a most piteous spectacle. The labourers avail themselves of ail the sunshine, but their with little or no success, a very so. saving been as yet st eke 1. The ccr. to be doing well under the cir- should the necessary heat and sunshine be iorthcoining, we may expect good crops.

REVIEWS. BaidwkeVs Orrnp ^"Switzerland The li 1 ine" Belgia ) and Holland;" "Northern ^ctinany southern Germany;" Eastern Alps Northern Italy11 Central Italy." Leipsic: Karl Baedeker. London: Dulau and Co., Soho-square. The opening of another tourist season brings into prominence Baedeker's well-known guide books, and on no occasion have they been deserv- ing of higher praise or more unquestionable com- mendation than at the present time. Indeed, complete as each edition appears to be, and com- prehensive as it apparently is in all its details, the editor succeeds with each new issue in introducing so many further additions, both in the letter press and among the maps or plans, as to materially increase the value of these guides even to the experienced traveller. It is undoubtedly owing to these constant additions and frequent revisions that much of the immense popularity of Baedeker's guide books is due. The aim of the editor and publisher appears to be to render the traveller as independent as possible of the services of guides and innkeepers,to supply him with the necessary data for almost every kind of inquiry, to point out the places most worth seeing and the be -t way of reaching them, and in every way to aid him in deriving pleasure and instruction from his tour. The prac- tical way in which this aim is carried out, and the thoroughness and accuracy with which each new revision is accomplished, is manifest to the most ,superficial observer- The more the merits of these guide books are tested, the greater becomes the belief in their value; for whether as a means of acquiring knowledge of the country traversed or as a guide to the particular hi -Is desired, or the readiest and more desirable routes to select, these handbooks afford the most complete and reliable information. Probably of all Baedeker's guide books, that of Switzerland" has the most extensive sale, alike in its English and various foreign editions. The ninth edition lias been both remodelled and re vised, and it seems difficult to suggest any improvement in this model guide to the most popular of all tourist grounds. Within nearly 500 pages of compact butclearly printed pagesaregiven details of almost every conceivable route in this magnificent country, and there is scarcely a point upon which the most inexperienced tourist may require information that is not to be readily found among its contents. One great feature of Baede- ker's guide Looks i" the prufuseness with which they are illustrated with maps and plans. That of "Switzerland" contains twenty-six maps, ten plans, and nine panoramas, and nothing could exceed the care with which each is drawn, nor the beauty of the colouring, or the clearness of the printing. The new edi- tion (8th) of "The Rhine." corresponds with the 21st in German, and the 12th in French. It has been materially augmented, and completely explains every part of the country between Rot- terdam and Constance. Professor Springer, of Leipsic, contributes a most valuable article on Rhenish art. The great use which is made of the asterisk in these guide books, as an indication of the relative importance of the various sights, or of the character of the hotels, is in none more effective or serviceable than in this work. Belgium and Holland has now readied a sixth edition in its English dress. The historical sketch of art in the Netherlands is a most valuable contribution, and has been adapted for the use of English travellers by Mr J. A. Crowe, from the work of Professor Springer. Although the arrangement of pictures in .some of the Belgium galleries is frequently changed, the data afforded by the hand-book will generally enable the traveller to dispense with the costly- and often bewildering catalogues. Though Northern Germany is not, as a rule, so popular a resort for English tourists as many other places, the present is the sixth English edition of that guide-book, and corresponds with the nineteenth German edition. It contains thirteen maps and thirty-three plans, and although it is difficult to notice any difference in the excellence of these illustrations, there appears to have been special attention de- voted to the maps and plans of this work. The handbook for Southern Germany and Austria" formerly included the Tyrol and Salzkammergut, but these hitter, along with the Bavarian High- lands, have now been formed ill to a separate volume, entitled The Eastern Alps." The sec- tion in the former handbook devoted to the Tran- sylvania iR, on the other hand, now published for the first time. Southern Germany contains thirteen maps and "twenty-four plaus, and the "Eastern Alps" twenty maps, ten plans, and seven panoramas. Few of the handbooks are, however, more deservedly popular than those devoted to Italy. They are divided into three sectiolls-" Northern Italy," including Leghorn, F'orence, Ravenna, the island of Corsica, and routes through France, Switzerland, and Austria Central Italy," including Rome and Italy," including Naples. In the first-named there is a most valuable introductory article on Art," which has special reference to Northern Italy and Florence, and prefixed to most of the descriptions of the larger towns and picture galleries are art-historical notices, in addi- tiOll to which the admirable works of Crowe and Cavalcastle have been laid extensively under con- tribution. In Central Italy" there is an elabo- rate description of the antiquities of Rome, by Professor Nissen, of Strassburg, as well as excel- lent articles on ancient art, and medieval and modern Roman art. Of the matchless treasures possessed by Rome—" The Mighty Mistress of the World"—this liind-book will help the intelligent observer to a worthy appreciation of the innumerable masterpieces presented to him, and enable him to invest them with appropriate historical associations—so tar as this is possible within the limit of 450 pages. Innumerable plans and maps of The Eternal City" accom- pany the letter press, while the general informa- tion is designed as a means of saving the traveller many a trial of temper. Though there is pro- bably no country in Europe where the patience is more severely taxed than in some parts of Italy, yet travellers experience more or less of that difficulty in all tourist grounds, and we know of no more effective means of diminising this drawback than by an appreciative study of these admirable guide books. BADDELKY'S PEAK DISTRICT OF DERBYSHIRE. London Dulau and Co., Soho-square. This is a further addition to the Thorough Guide Series," and has been comp led by Mr Bad- deley. who is already favourably known as the author of guides to the English Lake district and the Highlands of Scotland. The Derbyshire district is one possessing more attractions than some better-known places, and particularly so to the tourist who incorporates a good deal of walk- ing in his summer holiday. The work is divided into four sections, in which Castleton, Ashbourne, Buxtou, and Matlock arc taken as the respective centres, and many excursions are worked out from all these points. Chatsworth and Haddon Hall naturally come in for a good deal of atten- tion, but the innumerable beauties of the Matlock and Buxton districts could scarcely be more com- pletely defined. The maps, both general and sectional, are taken from the ordnance survey, and have been most carefully reduced by Mr Bartholomew. The general arrangement of the work is excellent, and to the pedestrian, particu larly, it would be difficult to afford a more useful companion.
-'--"-------A PHESTEIUN MAINTENANCE…
A PHESTEIUN MAINTENANCE CASK In the Queen's Bench Division, 011 Wednesday, before l\1:r J ustice Stephen and a common jury, the case of Smith v. Vaughan came on. This was a case for necessaries supplied to the defendant's wife. The defendant denied his authority. Mr Herbert Reid appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr A. T. Lawrence for the defendant. The plaintiff, Mrs Caroline Smith, is a widow, residing in Whitecross-road, Hereford, and a sister of the defendant's wife. The defendant, Mr Joseph Vaughan, resides at Prt.steign, in Radnorshire. The plaintiff's case was that her sister, owing to the continued ill-treatment she had received from the defendant, had been obliged to leave the defendant's house, and that payment was due for buarding her sister sifolce April, 1881. The defendant replied by denying the alleged cruelty, or that he gave any authority for the supply of necessaries. The plaintiff gaye evidence to the effect that upon receiving distressing letters from her sister she paid three visits to Presteign, and found her, in cold weather, without fire aud food. The only excuse the defenùant made waa that he had softening of the brain and could not help it. Hcr sister had been in the bankruptcy court, but was not extravagant. The defendant on one occasion said he wouid not pay a farthing to anyone for his wife. Her sister was always most kind to the defendant. Mrs Vaughan said the defendant had never been kind to her, and struck her on several occa- sions, once dislocating her shoulder. He called her a liar and a thief. The defendant kept the food locked uv so that she could not get it. Her neighbours were kind, and supplied her with some. The defendant would not speak to her for a. month at a time, often blew the light out when she was working, remained absent with- out notice for a month at a time, received her income upon £ 500,without supplying her with food and clothing, and at last threatened her in such a manner that she was afraid to stay. Other witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr Joseph Vaughan, the defendant, said he was lately an upholsterer at Presteign, but had now retired from business. He married Mrs Vaughan in 1870. His wife pledged his credit against his orders, and he was summoned for deuts of which he knew nothing. It was untrue that his wife was kept without food, or that the cupboards were locked up. His wife never com- plained of want of food, and left a.fte1' she had received threatening letters from her creditors. One one occasion his wife cut his face open with a pewter-pot; but he never hit her in his life. He was afraid of her, as she was a strong, powerful woman. Confirmatory evidence was given. The jury gave a. verdict for the plaintiff for £57, and judgment was given accordingly.

THE SEAT OF WAR. -If the Premier will allow us to speak of the Northen pa,lt of Egypt as the- seat of war, though it is perfectly true that we are not at war with the Egyptians, we may call the attention of our readers to the useful map of Egypt and the Suez Canal published by W. IL Smith and Son. It contains plans Of Alexandria, Suez, and Port Said. When we add that the map is; the production of Mr John Bartholomews, of Edinburgh, we need not add a word more by way of commendation. It seems to us, however, that if those who prepare such maps would always bear in mind that great events do not always hap- pen at places of importance, they night be in- duced to insert many names which would other- wise be omitted. How few maps, for instance, show the position of Kafr Dowar, now a place cf considerable importance. What we want, on such occasions, is at least one map well covered with names. TOOTHACHK WOOL, 6d.
