FORTUNES MADE AND LOST.—The rise in the value of the great staple, iron, bas been one of the features of the present railway movement; but this was little more than expected, seeing the close connexion of the two in terests. The depression that before existed in this branch of trade, and the low prices which ruled, soon induced buyers to operate freely ; and the lever being applied both in London and Liverpool, a rise shortly followed, exceed ing in extent the greatest anticipations of the holders. From the success of the speculation in iron, many men with crippled fortunes have established themselves in a permanent position. &Mae few 'ha've suffered from the good fortune others have attained, by a movement of which they were the originators, and others, having cleared the market at the lucky moment, have risen from small means, and retired with a comfortable competency. Nothing can better illustrate this statement thanihe fait, that a bankrupt Scotchman, who came to London two years back as a jobbing commission-agent, has gone "t' other side o' the Tweed" with about £30,000, the pro ceeds of the little business he transacted in iron, rather preferring to live in quiet enjoyment than trouble his mind further with the anxiety of commercial concerns. The reverse of the picture can be exhibited, and not in a solitary instance. The late advance of from 120 to 150 per cent, in the value of the article is a tange.of fluctua tion illustrative of the extent of dealing in it.—The City; or, the Physiology of _London Business. ERSKINE IN COURT.—A witness was put into the box, who travelled to get orders. This description of per slug go indi;criminately by the name of riders and tra- vellers, but most affect the latter. " You are, I under stand, a rider ?" " A traveller, sir," was the reply. " Pray," said Erskine, " are you addicted to that failing usually imputed to travellers ?" Another of the fraternity having baffled his cross-examination, he suddenly re marked, " You were born and bred in Manchester, I per ceive." The witness admitted that it was so. " I knew it," said Erskine carelessly, " from the absurd tie of your neckcloth." The traveller's weak point was touched, for he fancied that his dress had been perfect; and the coun sel gained his object—the man's presence of mind was gone. When induced to make a personal observation on a witness, Erskine divested it of asperity by a tone of jest and good humour. In a cause at Guildhall, brought to recover the value of a quantity of whalebone, a witness was called of impe ne t ra bl e stupidity. There are two de scriptions of whalebone, of, different value, the long and the thick. The defence turned on the quality delivered, and that an inferior article had been charged at the price of the best. A witness for the defence baffled every at tempt at explanation by his dulness. He confounded thick whalebone with long in such a manner that Erskine was forced to give it up. " Why, man, you don't seem to know the difference between what is thick and what is long. Now, I'll tell you the difference. You are a thick headed fellow, and you are not a long-headed one !" In a cause at Guildhall, Mingay spoke of one Bolt, a wharfin rr on the Thames, who loved litigation, and whose game regularly appeared as plaintiff or defendant in the cause paper of the sittings after term, in very harsh terms, for his dishonest and litigious spirit. " Gentleman," replied Erskine, " the counsel has taken unwarrantably liberties with my client's good name. He is so remarkably of an opposite character, that he goes by the name of Bolt upright. This was all invention.—Townsend's Lives of Twelve Eminent Judges. Mr. Carter's Mammoth Horse is now exhibiting in this town. It is a most surprisingly fine animal, and well worth being seen. A grand stand and balcony have been erected imme diately adjoining the judges lodgings, St. Anne-street, for the accommodation of parties who may wish to 'see the procession formed to do honour to Prince Albert.— See advt.

The declared value of the principal articles of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported in the five months of 1845, was £21,099,710; same period in 1846, £20,619,844. The principal falling off has been in cotton, linen, and woollen manufactures. The total shipping entered inwards in the first five months of 1845, was 7,642 ships, 1,532,748 tonnage. of were British ships of 1,087,849 tonnage.

We have been favoured with our usual copy of the ex cellent " Commercial Glance," for the six months of the present year, published by Mr. Burn, of Manchester, which, we are sorry to perceive, does not exhibit the ex port trade in this district in quite so favourable a position sit held in the corresponding period of last year. The ailing off will be best shown, by comparing a few of the principal items of the two half year . . Under the head of "cotton yarns," the gross exports, up to July, 1846, were 64,159,568 pounds; whilst, in 1845, they were only 54,692,551 ; thus giving an increase, during the past half year, of 9,467,017. Considering that this is the least perfected of our manufactures, employing the least amount of manual labour, this increase is not a favourable sign of the increased prosperity of the country. Under each tif the items, " cotton thread," " damask arid diapers," and " cambrics and muslins," a slight decrease is exhibited; and a slight increase in the insignificant items, "dimities," and "?awns and aeries. article of " plain calicoes," there is a decrease shown of 8,117,111 yards ; the exports being, first six months of 1845, 300,038,150 yards; and, first six months of 1846, 291,921,039. There is a much larger, and more important decrease, in the article, "printed and dyed calicoes, amounting to 25,251,365 yards ; the total ex ports under this head being, in first six months, 1845, 153,338,502 yards ; and, in same period this year, 128,087,137 yards. The decrease is, therefore, a sixth of the whole trade. There is a large decrease, also, under the several heads of " hosiery," " shawls and handker chiefs," " lace," " tapes," and unenumerated cotton goods," and a trifling increase in ticks. On the whole, the falling off is considerable. In examining the countries tr fluctuated during the last six mo► s, we ' In the im- whose trade with ns has ll confine our observations to the two main articles of plain calicoes, and printed and dyed calicoes. Of the first of these articles, we find that, to the Brazils, the increase this half year has been, in round numbers, six million yards whilst, to Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, &c., there has been a decrease of 3,200,000 yards. Our trade to British North America has fallen off from 8,872,626 yards, in the half year 1845, to 7,483,318, in 1846. To Chili and Peru, there is an increase of over 2,000,000 yards; Gibraltar has fallen off 4,000,000 yards, or nearly half its trade ; Portugal and Madeira, on the other band, have increased 5,000,000 yards, which is half of their last year imports. To India, in 1845, - our exports were 71,213,321 yards ; this year it has been 85,200,555, or an increase of nearly 14,000,000 yards. China, on the other hand, took trotn us last year, 66,647,343 yards; against 42,659,601 this year, showing a falling off of more than a third. To the United States there has been a decrease of 2,690,000 yards. To other countries enumerated, the fluctuation is not tnecrial. In printed calicoes, we have again the singular feature of an increase of nearly 4,000,000 yards exported to Brazil and a decrease of above 3,000,000 yards to Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, &c. We are not at all aware how this can occur. The two markets are bracketed together, from which a suspicion may arise, that the difference has been caused by some change of the customs regulations as to the entries. British North America has decreased her purchases about one-tenth ; Chili and Peru has decreased from 12,873,751 yards, in 1845, to 7,109.229 yards, in 1846; Colombia took 3,703,585 yards, in 1815, and only 1,514,410 in 1816. To Gibraltar, there is a falling off of 1,400,000 yards ; to India, of 3,600 000 yards ; China, 300,000 yards. Naples and Sicily have increased nearly 1,000,000 yards; the Hanse Towns have fallen off 3,400,000 yards ; Portugal, Madeira, &c., have increased 1,500.000 yards; Sardinia and Tuscany decreased 1,700,000 yards; Turkey and the Levant over 5,000,000 yards ; and the United States about 500,000 yards. To other countries the variation is not striking. To afford an idea of the profits of manufacturers and spinners, we have given the following as the prices of 40 in. 60 shirtings on the Ist of the month in the two half years, viz.-1n 1845: January, 9a.

The price of yarns, of the ordinary num bers, have undergone a similar decline. The prices of cot ton a ar, however, to have ruled higher during this than the correEpor;ding period of thelast year.

Nine calved since that period were sold for £263 lls. averaging £29 ss. 9d. each. Three in each class were bought in.. The highest price obtained in the first class was £37 165., for a bull three years and two months old, belonging to Lord Hastings, by whom it was bred. ' The lowest price was 20 guineas for a bull three years and six months old.' The highest price obtained in the second class was £56 14s. for a bull two years and 23 weeks old, belonging to Mr. Joseph Atkinson, of Embleton, near Alnwick ; the lowest price 13 guineas for a bull one year and one month old. Four short-horned cows, in milk, were sold for £l2l 10s., averaging £3O 7s. 6d. each. One in-calf, heifer, was sold for 25 guineas, and another for 24 guineas. Four year ling heifers were sold for £B4, averaging £2l each. A cart stallion, six years old, was sold for £lO5. One seven years old was sold for £B5 15s. ; and a two years old filly was sold for £42. A Leicester shearling ram, belonging to Mr. Abraham, of Barnet-by-le-wold, near Brigg, sold for 7 guineas; one 15 months old, belonging to Air. Aegis. of Keswick, brought the same sum. Mr. Grey, of Dilston, sold three shearling rams for 4 guineas, 8 guineas, and 9 guineas respectively, and two others at 7 guineas each. Two Leicester shearling ewes brought 15 guineas each.
