TRADE or Sours WALES.—By the various shipping,
metal, and other returns it appears that the trade of
South Wales is in a most improving state. The quantity
of coal raised is daily increasing, and a growing amount
daily finds its way to the seaports for shipment. The
towns of Cardiff, Newport, Neath, &c., show an increase
of exports and imports, While at Swansea the rise has
been very great, showing an increase of import tonnage
to the extent of 62,000 tons during the past year. During
this period nearly 5,000 vessels entered the harbour, with
a tonnage of 450.000 tons. Largo shipments of iron are
shortly to be made from the new shipping locality at Ney-
land terminus, the line to which is now completed. The
various dock extensions are also progressing, and a vast
amount of new railways and branches will shortly
develope the resources of hitherto unworked localities,
while they afford so much employment that labour is
very scarce.

INTERESTING SURGICAL OPERATION--A gentleman re-
siding at Dartford, in Kent, having lost one of his front
teeth, had an artificial one made, with a gold framework
to fix it into its place in his mouth. Oa the night of
Wednesday week, while asleep, the apparatus got loose,
and the unfortunate gentleman soon became aware that he
had swallowed it. S.irgical assistance was speedily pro-
cured, but it was deemed necessary to convey him to
Guy's Hospital, where he was placed under the care of
Mr. Cock, the senior surgeon, who tried all the means in
his power to relieve him; but the peculiar shape of the
apparatus baffled all his efforts. At length, five days after
the accident, the patient underwent the operation (with
chloroform) which has happily proved successful. An
incision, four inches in depth, was made in the side of the
neck, and the tooth and its framework were discovered
behind the larynx, in the swallow, from whence it was
soon extracted. This operation is considered to be one of
great surgical skill. The patient, we learn, is going on
well, and is in a Lir way of recovery He is enabled to
take food by means of a silver tube, through which
nourishment is introduced into the stomach.
THE POISONING C.sms AT MANCHESTER.—We mentioned
last week that an application had been made to the coroner
for the city of Nianohester for a warrant to have the body of
the deceased John Monahan exhumed. The application was
granted, on the applicant's swearing to an information on

the subject.

Tim COUNCIL or Won.—A Paris _
following paragraph, was published by a cotemporar)
the middle of last week: " It is further affirmed that the
few lines of the (Vienna) despatch once read aloud, Sir
Edmund Lyons, crumpling together in, his hand some
papers he held, took his hat observing that he had nothing
more to do there, and left the council-room before the
Emperor had risen, or declared the sitting at an end,
which has been commented upon ever since by the per-
sons attached to the Court, as one of the most extraordi-
nary breaches of etiquette ever committed." The state-
ment has elici ed the following note from the Earl of
Ellesmere to the journal referred to :—" Windsor Castle,
Jan. 24, 1356. Sir,—Your paper of the 22d contains a
letter of the 20th from your Paris correspondent, which
describes Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons as having com-
'mitteei, at the Paris military council, ' one of the most
extras,- I n try breaches of etiqui.to ever committed.'
sh,)wn thin letter to Sir Elmund Lyons, I have
obt:tined h.s permission to inform you that nothing of the
kind occurred, and that the report on which your corres-
pondent relied is utterly without 4.l)undation.—l am, Sir,
your obedient servant, EGERTON ELLESMERE. P.S.—I
am requested to add, that when the Emperor announced
to the council the news of the Russian acceptance of the
conditions forwarded by Austria, Sir Edmund Lyons had
not arrived. When' ho did, shortly after, arrive, be
learnt what had passed, and took part as usual in the
further proceedings of the conference."

Inta'n;ng the

CRIMEAN TROPHIES.—The various trophies from the
Crimea, which composed the cargo of the Bucephalus, at
present occupy a considerable space in the Arsenal grounds
at Woolwich. The guns and small mortars, which latter
consist chiefly of cohorns and royals of 6 inches and 33
inches, as well as many field pieces and howitzers, and a
number of heavy guns, corresponding with our 68-poun-
ders, are all of valuable brass metal; but with their pre-
sent bore, they are not serviceable for our description of
shot. It is conjectured therefore that they will be re-cast.
The officers and men forming the field-train corps who
were at the siege of Sebastopol, are anxious to wear some
particular mark to distinguish them for their service
there. They propose for that service the melting down
one .of the large guns, to be converted into small crosses,
or other medals, to be distributed solely for the decoration
of that corps of Her Majesty's service thus engaged. The
carriages and waggons are of small intrinsic value, most
of them being shattered and utterly useless. A wheel of
one of the ammunition waggons is covered with Russian
blood, having been found embedded among the bodies of
several dead soldiers, which were lying with the carcasses
of dead horses. &c. Major Lukin and the men who came
in charge of these trophies have completed their work of
mounting the gnus and placing every article in a conspi-
cuous position, as Her Majesty has signified her intention
of giving them a personal inspection. Major Lukin
waited on Lord Panmure on Saturday to inform him that
everything was prepared for Her Majesty's visit, winch
is arranged to take place to-day.
MURDER IN FRANCE.—PARIS, SUNDAY. -- A dreadful
crimp was committed yesterday morning near the Jardin
des Plantes. An old woman, named Chereau, who occu-
pied the greater part of premises at No. 3, Rue Geoffroy
St. Hilaire, where, with her son, she carried on the busi-
ness of a carrier, and who lived with the son in a detached
building in a small court yarfflat the extremity of the
lremises, was seen yesterday morning, after the man had
eft home for his day's labour, making her customary pur-
chases of provisions in the neighbourhead. Some little
time after, a little girl, named Richard, daughter of a
married couple living in the house, called to ask her to
lend her parents a key, but she could not find her, and on
knocking repeatedly, received no answer. Having asked,
the concier4e if he knew where Mme. Chereau was, the
man went into the house, and to his surprise found the
bed room in disorder, and three or four pillows placei one
on the top of the other at the head of the btd. Removing
the pillows, he saw a blanket spread over what appeared
to be a hum In body; and turning it down, to his horror,
found the old woman lying dead, with a gag in her mouth
and her hands tied behind her back. Th commissary of
police being sent for, ascertained that death had been
caused by strangulation, also that a box beneath the bed,
which the son afterwards declared had contained a rather
large sum in gold and silver, had been broken open and
rifled. From what the magistrate observed, he came to
