THE IRON TRADE.
BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.—The general aspect of the
iron trade remains unchanged. A slight improvement
in. the price of rails has been obtained, both in bLaf-
tordshire and other districts, to the extent of 5.5. per
ton, with a considerably increasing demand; and we hear
that several fresh contrac:s are now iu the marker, in con-
sequence of the makers holding. out for 19s. advance. But
sheets, nail roads, rounds, and use iron meet with a rather
more limited sale at home and without a shade of ter!'
dency to better figures. In the pig trade very little la
doing, and that without alteration. Both manufactured
and pig iron still exhibit the same extreme latitude of
variation in prices, and consequently, it may reasonablY
be supposed, in quality also; the former Extending froul
41. 15e. net to 6/. for bars, and other descriptions after
the same proportion; and the latter from 423. 6d. to 70..
per ton. Notwithstanding the grievous complaints of the
want of remuneration in that brsuch of the trade, We hear
that instead of a reduction of the number of furnaces
ready in blast, more are about to he set to work. Tbe
two at the late unfortunate Usk Farm Works arc melt'
tioned as far progressed in the requisite preparatiolrs
Daily experience more thoroughly confirms the opisioa
that nothing is to be expected or feared at Birmingham
from the intro iuction of the Northamptonshire story'
Whether as to cost, per centage of iron, or the poeulmf
properties it contains detrimental to the furnace, it soros
alike undesirable. Indeed, it is generally supposed that
the parties most interested in it will be found to have
considerably burnt their fingers.—Aris's Birmisykani
Gazette.

PREPARATIONS FOR A IVEW PLAGUE.
The pestilence has again broken out in the East pre:,
cisely us it has done on previous occasions. It is fu"
time, therefore, that the met?, politan public were ur
and stirring. The gas of their graveyards, their sees;
pools, their sewers, is doing its work in preparation in
the scene of horrors. Every year it is intensifyiug
more and more, as every year its fruits are multiplying;
The general mortality of the metropolis of late Ye3r
has immensely increased, and we are fast retrogradivi
to the state of things before the time of the grey
plague, when the population of the metropolis w°uid
have actually become extinct in a brief series of yea,
:
had it not been for constant replenishment from the Pry
vinces. Nay, the time has already come, according .:
statisticians, for " London, if not refreshed from 01
country, would be a desert in fifty years." Did we 13°.
say with truth, some time ago, that if ever Macaulay
civiliz d New Zealander stood on the ruins of Lond°ll;
bridge and beheld nought but a solitary, uninhabited
waste—the poisonous filth from graveyards, cesspools,
and stagnant sewers, with which the metropolitan site
saturated, must alone have done it all? The deaths c:„
the London born already exceed their births. They
blood is poisoned. Their stamina is sinking. They 91'e
0
even dwarfed in stature and dimensions. And not
the healthier blood infused into London from the count/
can prevent its rapid decay unless the site be cleared ei
those abominations which breed disease and death an
new abominations even in the midst of death to intenslu
the hideous fermentation of mortality.—Builder.
