THE IRON .IND COAL TRADES IN SOUTH WALEffi
—The state of the iron and coal districts in South Wales is
stated to be a little more cheering than of late, in conse-
quence of an increase in orders ands slight advance in price.
A rise in the bituminous coals has taken place to the extent
of trout Is. to Is. 3.1. per ton. The trade has been in a
very depressed state fur some time, and this advance has
been hailed with great satisfaction by all connected with
this important branch of traffic. The iron trade of Merthyr
has received an impetus in the shape of an extensive order
from Mr. Stephenson, the engineer in chief to the proposed
railway between Cairo and Alexandria, to the extent of
10,000 tons of rails. The cost is to be 51. per ton. Other
orders have been received which will tend to revive the
trade, which has liven in a must depressed state.
AN ACCIDENT 1W A PECULIARLY FRIGIITITI.
CII.thiCTER happened on Saturday, near Torrington, to A
young man, named Richard Thorne, living with his mo-
ther on a farm at Rinsing. lie had been drawing timber,
and was returning home with his waggon, when, on having
to descend a beet', declivity called Week-hill, he, so a pre-
caution, took off the fore horse, a spirited animal, with the
intention of leading it down the bill, but, in adjusting the
chains, one of them gut entangled round his leg, and the
horse started off, dragging him from that lace to his own
door, a distance of a mile and a quarter. Life was not ex-
tinct, attributed to his having on tit the time a thick coat,
which got drawn over his head, and in some measure pro-
tected it, but on Monday evening he died,— Waterli Lil,
emissary.
NumnEtt 01' Finr.s.—The firemen of the London
Brigade and West of England office were actively employed
the whole of last night and the greater part of this morning
in running over the metropolis to different fires which had
broken out. One tire happened at half-past two o'clock
this morning, at No. 22, Mint-street, Borough, in the occu-
pation of Mr. John Court, grocer and eheesemonger,
which was nearly attended with a loss of two lives. The
residents having been aroused, they all succeeded in elicit-
ing a safe retreat, except two persons, who fell senseless to
the floor, on account of the density of the smoke. Fortu-
nately, the Royal Society's fire-escape came down just in
time, and, the conductor having mounted the machine, suo-
°ceded in saving the lives. The fire was not subdued
until the whole of Mr. Court's stock in trade was destroyed.
The sufferer was insured in the British Empire Fire-office.
Shortly before the above fire happened, another took place
in the premises of Mr. Miller, tobacconist, No. 11, Barking
Church-yard. The engines of her Majesty's Customs,
Brigade, and West of England arrived as early as possible,
and the Hawes were extinguished after considerable
damage was done. About the same time a tire
happened in the premises of Mr. Bryan, No. 23, Lam-
beth-road. Timely aid having been procured tho
fire was extinguished before any very considerable damage
was doue. Two other fires took place about the same hour;
one at No. 23, Upper Chadwell-street, Myddleton-square,
in the occupation of Mr. F. Tallis ; the other in the pre-
mir:s of Mr. J. Stebburn, Daland-row, Cannon-street, City.
The engines promptly attended, but considerable damage
was done It both places before the tires were extinguished.
