METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that the
iron trade continues improving; large orders for all de•
scriptions of manufactured are in the market. The pros-
pects of the trade are very good ; in the meantime the
stocks in India and America are lessening. There has been
nothing new in rails. The orders unexecuted in the market
are very large, and makers aro not desirous of selling more
at present prices. The nominal quotation is 61. f. o. b. in
Wales. liars are advancing ; sellers asking 51. to Si. Si.
f. o. b. in Wales. In Staffordshire an advance is expected
at the next meeting. Owing to the immense demand for
rails, the production of all (Aber descriptions of wrought
iron will be much diminished this year. Scotch pig iron
has been more lively, and several parcels have changed
hands at improving prices. There are buyers of mixed
numbers at IW. f. o. b. in Glasgow, cash, with lew parcels
offering for sale. Quotations are likely to improve. Spel-
ter : An advance of ss. per ton was reported from Ilambro,
but our prices continue unaltered. Lead in large de-
mand, with an upward tendency. Copper is without any
alteration. Tin very quiet. No sales to report. Tin plates
iu fair demand at current rates, say '22s. ad. to 225. bd. per
box.

THE CHANCES OF LlFE.—Among the interesting
facts developed by the recent census, arc come in relation to
the laws that govern life and death. They arc based upon
returns from the State of Maryland, and a comparison with
previous ones. The calculation it is unnecessary to explain,
but the result is a table from which we gather the following
illustration:-10,26$ infants infants are born on the same
day and enter upon life simultaneously. Of those, 1,243
never reach the anniversary of their birth. 9.0'25 com-
mence the second yeas, tat the proportion of deaths still
continues so great, that at the end of the third only 8,183, or
about four-fifths of the original number, survive. Hut during
the fourth year, tho system seems to acquire more strength,
and the number of deaths rapidly decreases. It goes on
' decreasing until 21, the commencement of maturity, and
the period of highest health. 7,134 enter upon the activi-
ths and responsibilities of life—more than two-thirds of the
original number. Thirty-five come to the meridian of
I manhood ; 6,302 have reached it. Twenty years mote and
the ranks arc thinned. Only 4,727, or less than half of
those who entered life 55 years ago, arc left. And now
eisath comes more frequently. Every year the ratio of mor-
tality steadily increases, and at 70 there arc not a thousand
survivors. A scattered few live on to the close of the cen-
tury, and at the age of 106 years the drama is ended. The
last man is dead.—Near ).urk:Tribasne.
THE NEW HousEs PARLIAMENT.—The publio
will hear, with some surprise probably, that Mr. Grissell,
who has been engaged for so many years on the ucw Houses
of Parliament, and is indeed identified with them as the
builder, has lost the appointment. Tenders were obtained
from Messrs. W. Cubitt and Co., Kelk, Jay, and others,
which ranged, we believe, from more than 180,0001. to
103,0001., end the tender of the last named gentleman,
at the lowest of the sums, wi:l probably be accepted. Mr.
Cirissell declined to tender.—Boihoer.

SIGNIOU VOLPE'S LECTURE.% Yesterday, dm
second of a series of lectures oh the construction and
beauties of the Italian language' was delivered by Signior
Girolamo Volpe, at Willie's Itoome. It consisted of ana-
lytical and illustrative remarks on the works of Dante,
Petrarch, Tess°, Ariosto, and Alfieri. Recitations and
readings from these poets were also given by Signior Volpe
with great force and animation. Nothing is so well calcu •
lated u such lecture, to familiarise English students of the
Italian language with the best examples of tho
bwitard
This sounds as if it should be writ on satin,"
'1 as Byron designates it in his Lleppo."

CLERICAL INTRIGUES IN GREECE.—The Trieste
Gazette, under date of Athens, Bth, says.—" The govern-
ment has not received any official report from the Maims.
It is certain, however, that the letters intercepted at
Kalvrita furnish a proof of the existence of a conspiracy
among the monks in all the convents throughout the
whole country as far as Mount Atha; and at Constanti-
nople, an orthodox conspiracy, which dates back as far as
1841 i. The government has therefore proceeded to the
arrest of the monkish conspirators, l'reachers arc every-
where going about the country exciting the people to insur-
rection. A captain of artillery, with two pieces of cannon,
has been ordered to Mains. The monk Paponloki is prowl-
ing about in every direction preaching to the people. A
detachment of 60 gendarmes was compelled to retreat be-
fore the women of the Mains, who pelted them with stones.
There is no means of repressing the fury of these women,
for according to the ancient customs of the Mainotes, the
women are inviolable and sacred. The government has just
discovered a secret society, composed almost exclusively of
members of the clergy, of whom the monk Christokrog was
the instrument."
