DEATH or AOZD IRONMAETZIL-0130 of the
oldest ironmaaters in this district, and very likely in the
kingdom, has departed. Mr. Anthony Hill, of Pentrebach.
house, Merthyr Tydvil, and proprietor of the Plymouth
Ironworks. died on Saturday last, in his 78th year. His
father, Richard Hill, euooeeded Anthony Bacon, the first
irontnaster at Merthyr, and the family have been exceed-
ingly sucoesaful from the commencement. The iron pro-
duced at the Plymouth works has always been famed for
its excellence, and thin, to a great extent, no doubt ao-
counts for the prosperity of the Hill family. The deceased
gentleman had pensioned a large number of old workmen,
many of them having been with him all their lifetime,
and he also built and supported several church«s sod schools.
His loss will be deeply felt at Merthyr, as he was a kind
and generous muter, and always looked after the comforts
of his workmen. It is rumoured that important changes
will result as regards the works. The reports are that they
are to be kept on for twelve months under the present ma-
nagement, and afterwards 'ad.—Nixing Journal.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Cioow.

The funds to-day are dull. Scarcely any altera-
tion has occurred in prices, but Consols are quoted
barely so good as at the close of business
yesterday. Preparations for to-morrow's settle-
ment in shares and foreign stocks are in full pro-
grees, and have formed the chief business. The
scrip of the new foreign loans is rather firmer, with
the exception of Turkish, which remains heavy.
Great Western Railway stock continues to fall, and
a relapse has taken place to-day in Great Northern
and Midland. Otherwise, English railways are
pretty well supported in price.

Console aro officially marked 931 and 1 for
money, and 931 for the account. The present
quotations are 931 to 1 for cash, and 931 " buyers"

Ad vices from New Granada by this mail state
that there was every probability of an immediate
pacification of the dissentient state, Antioquia.
A commissioner from that state bad gone to General
Mosquera with propositions for peace. The cus-
toms are increasing very satisfactorily. The govern-
ment has offered a grant of 100,000/., on certain
conditions, to encourage European emigration.

The following is an extract of a private letter,
dated Honda, New Granada, June 20:
So far as we can judge, the position of General Moevera
gets stronger, although here we have had an alarm of late,
the Antioquiana having in the last 14 days occupied Mari-
quits ; they. have, however, retired to El Fresno. Wegner&
is going sweat the two States remaining in revolt, Cauca
and Autioquis, with such a superior force as want, it may
be hoped, teammate this strife. The guerillas have en-
tirely disappeared from Bogota, and things are mending
there. The government paper—that is the Treasury notes
—have materially improved in price. A reform has been
weds in the tariff which will do good, we expect.

The dividend of the London and North Western
Railway Company was officially announced yesterday
at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, against
the same rate for the corresponding period of 1861.
The sum brought into the account was 15,3931.,
and the sum to be carried over is 4,0661.
The London and North-Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 8,5421., and
the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of 6,5001.
The receipts of the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the let instant were
7,7621. sterling, being 2,1331. more than in Cie cor-
responding week of last year.
The report of the directors of the Southampton
Dock Company shows that the revenue affords a
half-yearly dividend at the rate of four per cent.
per annum (which dividend is accordingly recom-
mended), and also au addition of nearly 4001. to
the surplus to be carried forward.
The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the
Bank of Australasia is called for the 18th instant.

The share certificates of the Eastern Bengal Tea
Company are now ready for delivery, in exchange
for the bankers' receipts.

With referents, to the market for American secu-
rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows :
We have to report a steady market in London for
American securities, the demand during the last few days
being very active for railroad bonds especially. The im.
provement in Atlantic and Great Western has been 2 per
cent. during the week. As this road is expecting to deny,
a large income from the carriage of petroleum, it is satis-
factory feature to learn that recent espenmentei completely
show the non-explosive character of this oil. Illinois shares
close rather getter, at) 50 discount, sellers. Erie shares
have advanced 2 per cent. on the very favourable results
from operating the road under its reorganisation.

WEDNESDAY Evwwa.

The discount market continues rather tight,
owing chiefly, as it would appear, to the absorption
of money iu new projects. This was the day for com-
pleting the deposit on the new Peruvian Loan.
The rate for good bills in Lombard-street was
2 per cent., and the applications at the Bank of
England, though not pressing, were numerous.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 93'
" sellers," for the 4th of September, opened and
closed to-day at 931 toi. At one period the price
receded to 93/ to 1. For money the final quota-
tion was 931 to 1. The official business report is
as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
931, 1, 93, 1 ; ditto for account (Sept. 4), 931, 1,
i; Bank Stock, 239, 2401, 241 ; Three per Cents.,

ditto Bonds, 275., 25e., 28s. prem. ; Five per
Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 1041; ditto Five-

to 2s.

The scrip of several of the new loans was heavy
in the morning, but experienced a recovery iu the
afternoon. Venezuelan has risen a to f per cent.
Portuguese, Peruvian, and Russian scrip left off
the same as yesterday, while Turkish has declined ,
per cent. The principal alteration, however, was
in Egyptian, which was in renewed demand, and
has risen 2 per cent. This stock being scarce in
the market, the price is easily influenced. Italian
Five per Cents, have risen I per cent., and Mexican,
I. The Old Venezuela Bonds remain dull.
In the market for bank shares there was a reduc-
tion in Bank of Egypt, Imperial and English, Scot-
tish and Australian Chartered. In miscellaneous
undertakings, Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares

MINE&-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CuJcz.

In the mining market to-day Wheal Ludcott shares
are very heavy, with a declining tendency. The pro-
sent quotation is 91 to 10, being fully 11. 10s.per share

with scarcely any business, prices are nominally
unaltered. The only transaction recorded in the
Stock Exchange official list is in United Mexican,
at 7.

The Cambrian Consolidated Gold Mines Com-
pany (limited) was announced last evening, under
auspices which are likely to draw to it a
great deal of attention. Already, a large
amount of the capital is applied for. It has
often been affirmed that gold mining in this coun-
try is a delusion, but there stand now beyond ques-
tion the remarkable facts that the Vigra and Mogan
Gold Mining Company of Wales, between January
1, 1861 and the 2nd inst., has obtained from 942
tons 12 cwt.. of ore no less than 7,041 ounces of
gold, showing an twerp of seven and a half ounces
per ton, and that the shares in this company„ with
only 21. 15e. paid, are quoted 401. to 451. The pre-
sent company hassecured. a voup of goldqnartz setts,
comprising in all upwards of 1,500 acres, immediately
contiguous to and almost surrounding this famous
Clogau Mine. It is mentioned that the mines
have been opened, many thousand tons of quarts
laid bare, and important discoveries made, " rich
visible gold having been broken there during the
last few days." The precaution has been taken of
obtaining the opinion, from personal inspection,
of one of the best living authorities on such
matters, Mr. Thomas Treloar, late chief captain
of the Bt. John del Rey Gold Mining Com-
pany of Brazil, who happens to be in England,
and who pronounces the field to be one of " high
promise.' The present captain and agent of the
successful Vigra and Clogau Mines speaks still
more highly of the present adventure, and two
directors (including the chairman) of that company
are on the board of the new one. The capital is
150,0001., in 75,000 shares of 21. each. The pur-
chase-money of the properties, buildings, works,
machinery, kc., is to be 25,0001., and a like amount
in shares with IL paid.
At Wheal Seton meeting a dividend of 21. per
share has been declared.
