M ONEY MARKET. [SPECIALLY TELEGRAPHED. J LONDON, FUIDAV EYEING. Mouey remains easy in view of an increase in supply wfth dist, oi dividends. Heavy repayments to the Bank have to be ma.de, but OIl the other hand the oupply on the market at present is large. A continu- ance of quietness viith low rates is foreshadowed. Three months' bills are negotiated at 3 per cent., and Short money is plentiful at 3 per cent. On the .stock Exchange business has been quiet. The principal demand wi-, for Canadian and American Railways, which ware all strong. not much Wall done. The continental bourses were dull, and bequent rumours of commercial difficulties check •Deration, and prevent the development of firmness which might have reasonably be looked for from the cheapness of money. It remains to be seen whether alter the distribution of dividends the public will operate with more freedom than they are at present doing.. Consols are rather firmer, at lQli to 101* for de- livery, and 101| to 10ij tor LUe account.

THE HALLIDIE PATENT CAKLE TRAMWAYS j CORPORATION, Ri:s is the title of an important and inflnentially instituted company, established with a capital ot El,000,00 in £ 10 shares,and a tirst issue of 50,000 shares, Jbr the purpose of introducing into this country the highly successful cable tramway system patented by Mr Andrew Smith Haliidie, of San Francisco, which the Brectont and a large number of engineers and others •ell qualified u> judge ia calculated to produce M great IHI improvement ia the propelling of tramway on M UM iatroductkMi 01 -Uwavv effected ore! the ordinary horde eosMyttce* preTfanaly ia iue. ArrangenMuta hare already been mad* for securing Air Halli die's English patents and rights, but owing to the special claims for allot- ment by companies likely to come into connection with the corporation, and others specially interested, of this issue of shares only 9,000 remains for subscription by the general public. These shares are entitled to divi- dends out of net profits up to 15 per cent, and li of all surplus profits. There are four companies working the system in San Francisco, U.S., where the dividends have ranged from 20 to 30 per cent, and the shares oom- mand from 200 to 300 premium. The system has also been extended to Chicago and Dunedin, N.Z., where it is employed on a very steep line, and Mr Haliidie expects that before long it will be extended all over the United States. The system has already been brought under the consideration of the English public in connection with the introduction of the Steep Gradient Highgate Hill Tramway Company (the benefit of the contract for which will be acquired by this corporation), when the demand for shares was 90 heavy that a great part of the deposits had to be re- turned. The objects of the Hailidie Patent Cable Tramways Corporation are the granting of licenses for the use of the patents acquired by the company the construction of the lines w hen so licensed where desired; the working of the tramways at a percentage on the receipts; and the leasing of lines of tramway on guaran- teed tixetl dividends or otherwise. At the time of the in- troduction of the Steep Grade Highgate-hill Tramway Company, most exhaustive evidence was produced ot the merit of the system before the local authorities and the Board of Trade, and the board having given its sanction to an application to Parliament for an Act to construct a line of cable tramways, com- mencing near the North Metropolitan Tramways terminus on the Hollo way-road, up High- gate East Hill to Southwood-lane, which act was duly obtained, the tramway is now in course of construction, and is expected to be completed in April next. In addition to the licence granted to the Steep Grade Tramways Company, arrangements have also been entered into with the Birkdale and South- port Company for licensing for converting and com- pleting their authorised lines the Halifax and District Company, for licensing their lines when the parliamentary powers have been obtained, with the sanction of the corporation of Hali- fax. The corporation of Hudderstield are also nego- tiating with the directors with a view to the conver- sion to the Hailidie system and licensing the tramway owned by them, whilst arrangements are pending with the Lea Bridge, Ley ton, and Walthamstow Company for licensing, converting, and working the system the Greenwich and ),lillwaH Subway Company, for the use of the system on the lines of the tramway to be laid therein; the Spen Valley. Dewsbury, and District Company, for licensing the lines about to be applied for to Parliament, and several others, including tramways in Scotland. The advantages claimed for the Hailidie system are the saving of expense as compared with the horse system, and by which the Metropolitan lines, it is estimated, would at once double their dividends that instead of the usual grooved lines, which interrere with the ordinary traffic, a flat rail or band can be used, and laid down flat and level with the roadway, thus pre- venting the danger arising 'from skidding or jerking of vehicles that the system can be worked equally well 011 level roads or steep gradients, thus opening up many districts to tramways where they cannot otherwise be introduced the facility of dealing with any sudden increase of traffic the prevention of wear and tear of the roads -by the horses employed, and the reduction of tilth on the roads, and the freedom from noise of the system. The purchase money for the system has been fixed at £70,000, in cash, 7,0o0 shares of the company issued as fully paid, aud one-third of the surplus profit in each year, when the company has earned over 15 per cent on the paid-up capital.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING IN CARDIFF. The Great Western Electric Light and Power Company, Limited, are applying for a provisional order granting them powers to supply the electric sions ot the Electric Lighting Act. The town clerk, Mr Wheatley, and the borough engineer, Mr Williams, have iii4do a joint report to the town council upon the subject. In this report they point out that the promoters, by the provi- sional order, seek to obtain powers that they shall not be compelled to supply electricity for public purposes except the local authority, or the owner or occupier of the premises in respect of which such supply is required, enters into a written con- tract with the undertakers (if required by them so to do) to continue to receive and pay for a sup- ply of electricity for,lo period of at least three years and to give, if required, to the under- takers security for the payment of all moneys due in respect of the supply of the electric light. For private purposes they ask that no person shall be entitled to a supply of electricity from the under- takers unless a written contract, if required, is entered into with the undertakers, to continue to receivo and pay for a supply of elec- tricity for at least five years and they also ask for security. The corporation officials have recommended the council to retain full control of the streets, roads, bridges, and other property vested ia them that the borough engineer's ap- proval should be required for the laying down of wires, &c., that in the event of any damage aris- ing by the alteration or works of the company, the corporation should have power to cause the removal and themselves remove and alter any works, wires, or conductors belonging to the com- pany which may, iu their opinion, be necessary, in order to restore the property of the corporation to as good condition as it was in before any such alterations had been made—and this at the ex- pense of the undertakers. They recommend that the situation and construction of the generating stations or eeutres of supply should be made sub- ject to the approval and consent of the corpora- tion, so as to secure freedom from danger, nui- sance, or annoyance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood the right of purchase by the cor- poration from the undertakers at a shorter period if required, than that provided for by the act (viz., twenty-one years and six months), but so that such period shall not be less than fourteen years from the passing of the provisional order or act: The corporation are recommended to ask that the period of five years shall be struck out of the arrangement, as to the supply for private pur- poses, and that nothing on the order or act shall prevent the company from being liable to an in- dictment for nuisance, or to any other legal pro- ceedings to which they may be liable.

I THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR WIIITCli-U, IICH. The parish is being vigorously canvassed by both parties. The denominational party are not leaving a stone unturned in order to secure the return of their candidates. They have a host ot canvassers in fact, nearly the whole of the party perambulate the parish from one end to the other, in order to make their position on the board secure. They also indulge in vain and delusive promises. One plea is that if they have a ma- jority on the board, the parisii will not be put to the expense of building a schoolroom, as the pre- sent National Schools will be available for that purpose. It is to be hoped, and it is not quite clear, that they will have the consent of the vicar for making this statement, but in order to make this offer a bona fide one, the question arises whether it not" have been wise on the |>AI'T of THS UA-VIA ^.SIFC UO tha V:AS» 1 a candidate. He has been entirely ignored, I If the vicar h:>s promised that he will sanction the handing over of the school in the event of the Church party having a majority on the board, one thing is certain, that a great deal of money will have to be expended on repairs. It ia at present in a very dilapidated stats, and will hav« to be entirely renovated before it is fit for the re- ception of children. The same may be said with regard to the old church at Tongwynlais. The Church party have been very wise in their selection. As has been stated before in these columns, Messrs T. W. Booker and Griffith Phillips were asked to come forward as candidates, but these gentlemen refused. The Melingritfith district is one of the strongholds of the Dissenters, and in ord .r to counteract their influence, the Church party, on the refusal of Mr T. W. Buoker, have brought out Mr John Thomas, mill manager. There is no doubt Mr Thomas will command a good many votes, but the majority will be sure to stick to their prin- ciples. Mr Harry Lewis will perhaps, on account of his popularity, command a good many votes in the Tongwynlais district, but the voters will surely nut sacrifice their principles for popularity. The denominational party are a little exultant over a little difference of opinion in the Ton- gwynlais district, but that has now been put right, and their opponeuts are working harmoni- ously together, It is to be hoped the ratepayers will not be won over by any delusive promises, I and that they will pull one and all together to Pecu,- --lit m Pr -the T)ivienting pa j and they may vest assured thai in a very short I time the educational status of the parish, which is now a disgrace, will bear comparison with others in the country.

STATE OF TRADE. THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, Friday.—Business in the Scotch iron trade has been interrupted -to a considerable extent during the put week by the New Year holidays. Many of the public works have been closed for the entire week, and the cessation of labour hais, of course, influenced the warrant market, which has been dull, with very little business doing. Warrants have fluctuated between 49s and 48s 7d, closing this afternoon at the higher figure, which was also the finishing point this day week. In new of the unfavourable report issued by the Cleve- land ironmasters, it may appear somewhat remarkable that our market should have improved to-day, -but the explanation is that a considerable quan- tity of iron which, it was feared, might be thrown on the market, was bought up by a local firm of influence who are believed to be able to hold it for any length of time. The demand for makers' iron has not been quite so pressing this week, and some makers have been readier to sell, in some cases a little below current rates, although the latter are, as • a whole, well maintained. The ironmasters, however, have their hands quite full of work for the present, and are confident that fresh orders will come to hand in good time to prevent slackness. The foreign demand is quiet at the moment, and merchants report that they are not doing much with the United States. Consignments are, however, being made on makers' account, the temptation to export to America being enhanced by the decrease of freights to the low figure of 4s per ton. In the course of the week the stock of pig iron in Messrs Connal and Co.'s stores has been reduced by 1,513 tons.

LOCAL PATENTS. The following patent record for South Wales and Monmouthshire, for the week ending Jan. 2nd, is supplied by Mr N. Watts, A.M.I.C.E., office for patents, designs, and trade marks regi- stration, 4, Crockherbtown, Cardiff :—Applica- tion for letters patent was made by Henry Edwards, Braich-y-Cymmen, in conjunction with Henry Harries, Glyn-Neath, for improvements in the manufacture of silica fire-bricks, silica fire- cement, and silica fire-ware goods generally. Provisional protection for six months was granted to William Morgan, Pontypridd, Tor improve- ments in miners' safety lamps, and to Samuel Williams, Newport, Mon., in conjunction with Thomas Rowan, London, for improvements in apparatus for igniting gas, part of the impiove- ments being applicable to other purposes. The patent of Lewis Richards, Dowlais, for improve- ments in the method 'of straightening rails for railways, and in apparatus for the same, passed the great seal. The final specification of William Jenkins and David Morgan, both of Treorky, for improvements in safety lamps, was filed in pursuance of the conditions of the letter patent.

THE SUPPOSED SUICIDE NEAR KIDWELLY. The inquest on the body of Catherine Roes, which was found in a pond at Trimsaran, on Wednesday, was held at the Miners' Arms, Trim- saran, on Thursday evening, before Dr. Row- lands, the county coroner. Mr Thomas Williams, Moat Farm, was the foreman of the jury. Amy Rees, ths first witness examined, said that she lived at New Inn, Trimaran. Deceased was her grand-daughter, and was 20 years of age. She was illegitimate, and had been brought up by her. She left home on Saturday last to go to ser- vice as a domestic, at Llaneily; she had previ- ously been at service for two years or so. Wit- ness was not aware that deceased had had any- thing that seriously troubled her mind aweekago she complained that the sister of the young man with whom she kept company e had met her but would not speak to her, and in mentioning this circumstance to witness, deceased cried a little. Witness identified the hat and umbrella that had been found by the pond, and which were now produced, as being deceased's. John Stephens deposed to having found the hat and umbrella, which he taid were wet at the time. P.C. Owen Evans said that on going through Trimsaran on Wednesday morning, he was in- formed of the hat and umbrella having been found at the pond side this arousing his suspi- cion, he ordered that the pond should be drained. This was done, and he discovered the body of deceased, which was identified by many per- sons who had come to the spot. After the body had been taken into the New Inn, he proceeded to Llanelly, and found that deceased had been in the servioe ol Mr Linn, master of the Park Grammar School, to whose house he accordingly went, and found that de- ceased had arrived there on Saturday evening last. On Sunday afternoon she asked permission to go out for a few hours, saying she would be back before nine o'clock. This was granted, but she never returned. Ann King, the last person who had seen de- ceased alive, said she met the latter near the Star public-house, in the village, on Sunday evening last between five and six o'clock. Witness had au ordinary conversation with deceased, who appeared to be happy and contented. Deceased then went down the village in the direction of her home—New Inn. John Davies, Brynd-y-fach, said he had been paying his addresses to deceased since May, and the last time he saw her, which was at Christmas, they were on the best of terms. He had not heard from her since then. Catherine Davies, sister of the previous witness, stated that deceased had been seen to pass their house on Sunday, 31st ult., but she did not come in. The last time witness saw her she appeared to be in good spirits, but made no complaint. David Jones, surgeon, practising at Kidwelly, said he had made a thorough post-mortem exami- said he had made a thorough post-mortem exami- nation of deceased. Tor-r^ wre no external ui violence on the bouy. lhe nanus were clenched, *Tit] the tonsil? swollen. Tha brain was not diseased. The lungs were distended with water and blood. Deceased was not enceinte, and witness's opinion was that she was drowned. He did not believe the body was thrown in the pond after death. The Coroner, in summing up, said the matter was a mystery. There was no evideuce to show how the deceased got into the water neitlier, on the supposition of her having drowned herself, was there sufficient evidence to show that she was unhappy, nor that any other motive had iu- duced her to do away with herself. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Founi drowned."

A SALVATION ARMY SCAN- DAL IN BRISTOL. On Friday, at the meeting of the Bristol Board of Guardians, a discussion took place relative to two letters of resignation which had been received from female nurses at Bristol Workhouse.—it was explained by the governor, Mr G. S. Tricks, that one of the nurses was expecting to be confined. She said she had bean in the habit of attendiug the night meetings of the Salvation Army in Bristol, and the father of her child was a promi- nent officer of the Salvation Army, whom she met at the meetings which she attended. He had been written to, and attended at the workhouse, ad- mitting he w.is the father of the child, and promising to marry the -young woman. The governor did not wish to give the statement in public, but Mr W. I'earee said they should hear it.—Mr King asked if it was to be understood that the man had seduced the nurse.—The Governor stated that he had said nothing of the kind, but that he was the father of her child.—Mr King advised that her resignation be accepted, and that she be not dismissed as they could not give her a character, and she was young, and by dismissal would be ruined for life.—After a discussion, in which it transpired that not merely the two nurses, but others in the workhouse, had been in the habit of attending night meetings of the Sal- vation Army, the guardians resolved to sum- marily dismiss these two.—Mr W. Stevens re- marked that he hoped care would be taken that they should not have Salvation Army night meet- ings in the workhouse,—The Governor said they had nothing of the kind there, I

J A SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN CANADA. A terrible tragedy is reported from a farm- house near Little Rideau, Ontario. Frederick Mann, who had recently arrived from England, and was employed there, showed himself to be in- sane. Early on Tuesday morning last he attacked Emma Cook, the eldest daughter of the farmer, and strangled her with a rope. Then he seized the mother, who came to her daughter's assist- ance, and strangled her. He next went into the barnyard and attacked the father with an axe, chopping his head all to pieces. Going upstairs he attacked the farmer's son George, who was in bed, and killed him \¡.. a the axe. Then he fell upon the son Willie, inflicting a dangerous wound. Willie grappled with the maniac, and the noise alarmed two other sisters, who came to their brother's assistance. One captured the axe, but Mann struck the other with a lamp. Mann rushed downstairs, got tim poker again, and attacked them. They succeeded, how^ver^in shutting the door upon him, and then ran shriek- ing outside, calling for assistance.

HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Chest and Stomach Complaints.—The source and centre of almost every ailment is impurity of the blood dislodge this Stomach Complaints.—The source and centre of almost every ailment is impurity of the blood dislodge this poison, and disease departs. Hollow-ay's Pills exercise I the inestimable power of thoroughly cleansing each component part of the blood, and rendering this fluid fit to perform its important functions. They cope most successfully with chest diseases, stomach complaints, liver disorders, and many other maladies, which were once the besetting dangers of mankind at certain sea- sons in town and country. The directions for use enable everyone to regulate the operation of these Pills with the greatest nicety. Chronic invalids, valetudi- narians, and all whom other treatment has failed to relieve, are respectfully invited to try Holloway's cele- brated medicine, which will strengthen and cure them.

THE WEST OF ENGLAND AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOK. Sm,-Absence from home prevented my seeing Mr Ensor's unwarrantable letter in Wednesday's issue of your contemporary. The writer asserts that Mr Peter Price, who moved a resolution favourable to the proposed West of England and South Wales Railway, and myself, the seconder of it, were "two selected agents in the interest of the company." I should like Mr Ensor's autho- rity for this statement. I repudiate it as strongly as permissible terms will permit me. I simply went to the meeting as one of the public, and a resolution afterwards being placed in my hand in the usual way, I expressed my approval of it, and willingly consented to second its adoption. Whilst repudiating any "agency" in this matter on my own, and I think 1 may also do so upon Mr Price's account, I should like Mr Ensor to tell the public the reasons which have induced him to rush into print for the purpose of attribu- ting motives to his neighbours. Mr Ensor is more likely to be a partisan than I am, for he is repu- tedly the local solicitor in Cardiff—that is to say, he conducts the police-court cases of the Great Western Railway Company. So much for motives. Mr Ensoi- is emphatic in his denial "that any benefit whatever would accrue to Cardiff from the formation of the proposed line," but he must allow other, and perhaps less interested, testimony to decide the question. I contend that the new railway would materially benefit Cardiff by pro- viding a competing route to London and other parts of the kingdom. It would also give us direct access to the systems of the Midland and London and South Western Railways,which com- panies are, I believe, promoting the bill. If Cardiff ever can secure a large import trade, this, I consider, is the only means of doing so, for by having direct access through these railways I have mentioned, the whole of the many counties and extensive manufacturing districts through which these lines pass would be directly opened up to South Wales. Surely no will say that railway competition in a district is not an immense bene- fit to the public? We have only to compare the rates and tariffs where there is competition with those where there is none to show this most con- clusi-, ely, and I would recommend those who are anxious for information on this subject to read the figures which Messrs Wiltons and Riddiford have compiled. Let me point out another way in which the pub- lic of Cardiff and this district would be benefitted by the proposed railway. The Great Western Railway Company have so timed their London service of trains from Bristol, which is the shortest route from Cardiff, that passengers from South Wales only arri ve at the Bristol station to find they have been left behind. The result is that the passenger traffic to London is driven over the Great Western system vi& Gloucester, which means a longer distance and a higher fare to those who travel from these parts. The new line would compel the Great Western Company to pay more attention to the requirements of South Wales, and that is what is much wanted, as everyone knows. Another point urged is that the new railway would take the coal traffic from Cardiff, but this assertion, I think, will hardly bear the test of reason and investigation. The port of Cardiff is near the coalfield, which is already served by two independent lines (the Taff Vale and the Rhym- ney). These lines will always, we may be sure, bring down coals at such charges that it will be impossible for Cardiff to suffer. Indeed, I think the reverse would be the case, for if these com- panies had any idea that a new line would take any of their tratnc from them they would imme- diately lower their rates, and this would enable the coalowners of this district to-conipete more than they already do with the coalowners of the North and elsewhere, because it cannot but be admitted that the lowering of the railway charges would enable the coalowners to sell their coal so much the cheaper, and so enter the markets and compete with the sellers outside their present cir- cle.—Apologising for troubling you, I am, &c., R. W. A. SOUTHERN. Cardiff, Jan. 5, 1883.

THE DEAN OF BANGOR AND NONCON- FORMISTS. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-Your correspondent who writes as a "'Nonconformist" can know very little either of Wales or the Dean of Bangor, and if he had not called himself a Nonconformist" there would have been every reason to conclude that he is an envious rival. He raises the hue-and-cry of Nonconformity in danger." He must be sadly wanting in practical wisdom to suppose that Welsh N onconformists do not know the difference between timeservers who are always assuring the world that they are Churchmen because the Church brings them tithes, and men who, while they are Churchmen of principle and conviction, are chivalrous opponents, and as far removed as any high-principled Churchman can be from "narrow-minded sacerdotalism." Nonconformists are not, as some who affect broad sympathies would insinuate, mentally blind. They will not be flattered by being toid that they ought to admire Churchmen who would be in the Noncon- formist ranks if tithes and privilege permitted. Socially there ia no clergyman in the whole Principality who is on a more intimate footing with onconformist8 than the Dean of Bangor. Only the bitterness of baitiad envy will deuy that lIe is deeply respected through the length and breadth of Wales as a clergyman whose heart is patriotic and true, warmly engaged in every movement for the good of his cuuittrymen.- I am, & A Wh LEHMAN.

HIGHER GRADE SCHOOLS. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—Permit me to express my deep sorrow for my inability to remain at the Swansea School Board meeting yesterday until the discussion on higher grade schools was taken up. Two public engagements at Brynmawr, made prior to my return to the above board, compelled me moat re- luctantly to leave the meeting without caking I part in the important discussion of the day. 1 am glad that my unavoidable absence did not materially aifect the i.sue. I am convinced that the importance of the question to our district just now cannot well be overrated. With a fair machinery in operation for elementary teaching, and all inspiring prospect of higher education for South Wales, what provision have we for an intermediate course? The objection that private schools supply the deficiency equally applies to elementary and collegiate education, and is quite irrelevant. If it be the duty of Government to provide elonietito i-y schools and col- leges, why not, also, intermediate schools ? It all ratepayers are called upon to support schools, does it not follow that the schools should also be adopted for the children of all ratepayers? But such is not the case while provision is made simply for elementary training. Those who op- pose higher grade schools would do well to re- member that: they put themselves between the rising generations of Wales, and special educa- tional advantages offered them by the Govern- ment of our country. I, for one, would be very sorry to witness English and Scotch children reaping the benefits of Government grants in such schools while Welsh Children were left to fight the battle of life with more meagre equipment as compared with their neighbours. -1 am, &c., MORRIS MORGAN.
