FROM LONDON TO CONRTANTINOPLL - REOENS-
HURO, Annear 14.—Three Hagfish gentlemen, Messrs.
Mansfield, Centered, and Thompson, have undertaken to
go from London to Constantinople in their own boat. They
arrived here en the afternoon of the 10th, and excited much
interest; their little vessel is built of beautiful mahogany
wood ; it is twenty-five feet long, and rather more than
three feet wide in the middle. it is exceedingly elegant,
and is rowed by two of the voyagers while the third steers ;
it shoots across the waves with the rapidity of an arrow ;
its weight is so exceedingly light that two persons can with
ease carry it out of the water. This we ourselves witnessed
yesterday, for the amateur voyagers, in order to avoid the
extremely rapid and dangerous current just below the stone
bridge of the Danube, took it out of the water on the one
side of the bridge, and carried it to the other.—Ansorger
Zeitiog, August 16.

METALS.—Mr. Malta's circular states that the
iron market is looking exceedingly healthy, and large orders
are again in the market fur rails for early delivery. Scotch
Pig Iron—There is lees excitement, and the article has as-
sumed a more legitimate position; the founders and ex-
porters are buying largely, especially the former, who are
under heavy engagements for castings. 445. per ton may
be quoted for mixed numbers, at which there are buyers;
sellers at 445. 3d. cash, three months open 455. per ton
Spelter—About 500 tons have been sold to arrive at 161.55.,
and about 130 tons at 161. 10s. Copper exceedingly scarce,
and a further rise is not improbable. Lead is in good de-
mand and firm. Tin has advanced 31. per too ; 150 tons
Straits sold at 84s. ; the market is firm. Tin plates are
without alteration in price. The make is being considerably
reduced ; a large manufacturer has abandoned making. The
prices will ultimately improve.
