SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—There is very
little change to report in the state of trade in this district. The
demand for rails is as brisk as ever, and the productive capacity
of makers is fully taxed. Prices are stiffening, and it is only at
advanced rates that orders can be placed. In fact the makers
are so well supplied with orders that in prospect of the
hot season, when production will be limited, as the
men cannot work so many hours in the day, they
do not care to undertake fresh engagements. The
shipping of iron for the past week has been principally
to the United States. Exports to Russia have not been so exten-
sive as was anticipated. Less inquiry prevails for bars for expor-
tation •, but pig-iron of the best brands is in active demand,
prices being in favour of the sellers. Tin plates are being prin-
cipally made for the American markets ; the demand from other
quarters having fallen. Dulness still characterises the steain
coal trade, though sanguine people think they notice an improve-
ment. There is more shipping offering, some vessels of heavy
tonnage having put into local ports. House coals are little
inquired after, and prices are unsteady.

A warder named Edward Bligh, employed at
Portland Prison, who was brutally attacked by a convict
several weeks ago, has just died from the injuries which
were then inflicted.

MADA ME TUSSAUD'S EXIIIBITION.—The improve..
ment which has lately taken place at this exhibition must
be palpable to all who visit it. The features of the various
figures from which formerly expression was absent are
now most natural and life-like. Many additions have re-
cently been made, and the new andbeautiful Court dresses
from the famous house of Worth, of Paris, cannot fail to
please and interest Madame Tussaud's numerous fair
visitors ; they are alikelunique in taste and the richness of
the materials of which they are manufactured.

vent flatulency, cleanse the liver, purify the system, reno-
vate the debilitated, strengthen the stomach, increase the
appetite, invigorate the nerves, and reinstate the weak.

equal to Holloway's Pills for removing- the complaints
which are incidental to the human race. hey are indeed
a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to those who suffer
from any disorder, internal or external. The purification
of the bbood and the consequent removal of all noxious
