THE IRON TRADE.—Seldom within these many
years have the Carron works been more busy and extensively
engaged than at present. All the departments of this national
establishment are in full operation; and while the generality
of mere foundries throughout the country are suffering, more
or less, from the effects of the late rise on pig iron, and obliged
to discharge many hands. Carron continues its deafening roar,
rather inspirited by the advance of price. We understand
that besides the immense cargoes lately shipped for various
parts of England and the Continent, there are now within
the works upwards of 300,000 tons of smelted iron, both from
the hot and cold blast—the quality of which, in the manufac-
ture of guns and machinery, has rendered Carron so
distinguished among the iron works of Europe.—Stirling
Journal.

On Friday took place the chaining of the convicts
previous to their departure for Toulon. • Forty are attached
to the same chain, in couples, one on each side of it ; a smaller
chain, attached to a ring rivetted round their necks, fastening
them to the great chain. The ceremony takes place in the
court of the Bicetre, athwart which the chains are ranged, and
the gang forming each chain are marched to it, compelled to
sit down, whilst a smith, with a moveable anvil, hammer, and
rivets, successively attaches each culprit to the common band.
It is a trying moment, when the frame of the sufferer is shaken
morally and physically by the blows of the sledge which fas-
tens him to infamy. Few undergo it without tears ; and even
those who cannot weep evince some analogous change. The
more infirm gangs go in carts, the stronger walk to their desti-
nation. The amine rivetted on Friday comprised some re-
markable convicts, which attracted the notice of the Parisian
press. One was Tassu, a notary of Meaux, wealthy, and of
good family, condemned for using violence towards his own
daughter. He was bowed down and old, and carried a little
basket with some provisions. His wife, notwithstanding his
crime, had been constant in her visits and attention to him
when in prison, and he was heard to murmur thanks to her,
mingled with tears and ejaculations of utter despair, as the
smith rivetted him to his companions in infamy. " Oh, he !"
exclaimed his comrade ; "we are prettily off, to have a notary
amongst us. If our affairs get embarrassed at the place whither
we are bound, he is the man to set all right."
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—As a spinster at St:
Alban's, a few days ago, was endeavouring to hit with a stick
her favourite cat, which was in the act of carrying off a beef-
steak, the lady struck her arm with so much force on the
sharp edge of a barrel, as to break both the bones of her arm
half-way between the wrist and elbow. Puss narrowly escaped
a broken back. —Herts county Press,
