GLASGOW, FEB. 15.—The demand for pig iron
continues good, and the price is firm at 535. for mixed num-
bers, and 535. to 535. 6d. for No. 1, net cash, ordinary
brands. The transactions in the article have been rather
extensive, and the tendency of the market is to higher
prices. In bars there is no great change in price; the sales
are rather in favour of sellers, about 61.
NEAL'S-YARD RAGGED SCHOOL, ST. GILEB.—The
first annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this
school was held last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, and
was very numerously and respectably attended. The Earl
of Carlisle took the chair, and in an eloquent address ad-
vocated the claims of the institution upon public support.
From the report it appears that 280 boys and 65 girls have
been admitted to the benefits of instruction, industrial em-
ployment, and cleanliness. And while the mental and spi-
ritual improvement of these poor outcasts of society is care•
fully attended to, food and clothing are also supplied to them
as far as the funds will permit. The Noble Chairman
stated that he had visited the schools on the previous even-
ing, and could bear his testimony to the efficiency and zeal
with which they were conducted. Yet the results which
had been achieved had been effected at a cost of not more
than 94/. The meeting before separating unanimously
adopted the resolutions proposed for increasing the useful-
ness of the school.

Fon CALIFORNIA.—The iron ship Antelope sailed
from the Mersey this morning for San Francisco, with a
cargo valued at between 40,0001. and 50,0001., and a large
number of passengers. The Antelope has also taken out the
framings and plates fel an iron warehouse to be erected by
mechanics who have taken passage in her.
TRUTHFULNESS AT BOLTON.—SiF Joshua Walms-
ley, in returning thanks for his election, noticed a portion of
the following facts, but the whole deserve attention. Pro-
mises had been made to vote for him to the number of 621 ;
of these promises, 616 were fulfilled, and there were seven
votes not previously counted upon, giving a total of 623.
A canvas so close up to the practicable result was perhaps
never known; but certainly the faithfulness of the promises,
not one per cent. unredeemed, has never been equalled 1U
