COAL TRADES.  BIRYINOItAII. Seer. 16. The iron teed, of this district has nut undergone any material change since our report of the 19th ult. Towsrds the dose of the month business was reported to be warmly so brisk as at an earlier period of the quarter ; but at the corameneement of last week there were Nymptons of renewed animation, and sa quarter-day approaches, there be no doubt that the Improvement will still further manifest itself, consumers' contracts entered into last quarter-day being now all but exhausted, whilst stocks of flushed Iron in the hands of large manufacturers, and in theme of tho country shopkeepers, are now lower than usual, there having teen for some time an indisposition to buy in larger quantities than was =Wiest for iminesdiata we. The result is that in many Instates produces of the best brands of finished iron of all descriptions are premed with orders for immediate delivery; sod although the mills are on full time, the manufacture scarcely beeps pees with the demand. For an inferior make of iron there is rat so ready s sale, but with few exemptions the works all over the district see In full operation, the reeting tradoespeeidly being raroarkably good ; indeed, with the exception of mils and railway Iron generally, for which the orders both here and in Walesare comparatively small, the iron Clads in sll its breaches must be regarded as in • very healthy state. This, too, in the face of the fact that the East India Cade is almost entirely stopped, for, with the exception of a few shipments to Madras and Bombay, business with that quarter Is at an end tar the time ;. and !Ts under the most fimpurable cirminastaFea,. •  Toni of a public nature are proceeded with. To this it may be added that the orders for iron from America, though in the aggregate than they were at the corresponding peril= Y year, are much tele than had ntpated ; indeed, it I. doubtful whether the reduction the tariff hoe stimulated the trade to the slightest extent. In other rcepects, the export orders for iron have been good, and continue to be so for some of our beet markets ; whilst our internal prosperity —the inevitable result of a bountiful harvest—cannot Gal to  impart a healthy activity to the home trade. Already this is apparent to some extant For heavy hardware goods the orders in are large, sbundantly so to sustain the demand for manufactured iron, and to put an end to all doubts as to the maintenance of prime, which are certain to be re-condereed at the preHminary meeting of the trade to be held next week. The pries of pig tram is firmer ; stocks, which bad accumulated during ths hot weather, are being reduced now that the puddler. are again in full work, and best hot-blast irrm is again quoted 41. 6s. per ton ; at the commencement of the month • may good make of pigs was sold as low as 44. but them wen gonsesily understood to be nmessitous sales. Ironstone of the district is • fraction dearer; it la now quoted Ito. 6d. per ton. The supply from the northern part of the county Is Inceiesing.  We (Worcestershire Chronicle) understand that Viscount Fielding, son and heir of the Earl of Denbigh, it ill shortly be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mary, the voungem daughter of Robert Berkeley, Esq., of Spetchley perk. Viscount Fielding is a widower, having been married in 1846 to the daughter of the bite David Pennant, Esq., of Downing sod Bychton, county Flint. She died in 1843. His lordship, who was some years ego converted to the Roman catholic faith, was a captain In the Warwickshire Yeomanry from 1849 to 1862, and High Sheriff of Flintshire In Into. Tho house of Denbigh claim. &scent from the Comte of Hapsburg, in Germany, one of whom 1. mid to have waled m England in the reign of ' Henry 111. The family was ennobled in 1620, in the of Sir William Fielding, who was created Baron apd Vieoount Fielding, sad In 1622 Earl of Denbigh. Henry Fielding, the novelist, was a roat great grandson of the fleet peer. The Cheltenham Examiner says:—'r In a private letter received by on officer in this town it is gaud that the British troops before Delhi have sworn on their crossed bayonets neither to give nor to take quarter when the struggle comes with the mutineers within the city. The officers, is order to nerve their arms in the hour of vengeance, have caused the name. of their brother-officers who have been Inhumanly sacrificed to bo engraven on their swordblades."  buirinn.—An inquest has been held at Northfield, Woreestarehire, upon the bodies of Mrs. Mary Ante Kell, the wife of Mr. J.
