It is stated that the ironmasters in Staffordshire have
reduced the price of iron 10s. per ton. This is highly
necessary, as• competition on the Continent is daily in-

creasing.

A very important change seems on the eve of accomplish-
ment in the internal trade of Canada, by the application of
a new
.propelling power on the St. Lawrence, upon
the principle of the screw. The following extract
will best explain the thing, though we think our Cana-
dian brethren have no reason to grudge us a change in
our Corn-laws. It is stated that—

" Before another season has elapsed, the bulk of the
forwarding trade will be carried down from the farthest
of the upper ports, direct to the Atlantic vessels. If the
Corn laws remain unaltered, and England still continues
to afford us a market, the Canada farmers will
profit much by this new improvement. On the
Western ports of Lake Erie, and those of Luke
Huron up to Goderich, the cost of transport by
the slow medium of schooners is almost too expensive
for profitable speculation. A vessel propelled by the
Ericson screw will make her voyage with regularity and
despatch, and ensure the farthest settler of the north-
west the means of sending down his surplus wheat, if
he have any, and afford inducements to the cultivation of
millions of acres, now thought unworthy of being cleared
for the growth of grain.

MOST IMPORTANT.—The official boxes be-
longing to the Treasury were sent this morning to the
residence of Sir Robert Peel. Great bustle and activity
prevailed at most of the public offices this morning,
occasioned by the removal of boxes and papers of the
late Ministers.—Standard.

UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES OF PAISLEY

ject was held on Thursday in Paisley, when it was
agypefl that a subscription should be entered into for the
the existing distress, Several
purpose of roliuving
sums, varying from 5!. to 100!., have already been sub-
scribed.

A letter from Rome, in the Constitutionnel,
states that the Abyssinian deputation, consisting of
twenty-three persons, headed by the Abbe Jacobi, had
arrived in that uity# illl4 were to have an audience of the
Pope. They were busily occupied iu visiting the curio.
sities of the capital.
CURIOUS LOVE AFFAIR. The following
circumstance happened a few miles west of Midsome
Wprop, about twelve months since : A young man
and woman, quite strangers tg each other, were acci-
dentally placed by the sexton of a pariah 0-4014 In the
same pew. During the course of the sermon the young
man read love in the eyes of the lady, which made a
greater impression on his mind than did the lecture of
the pious minister. As love, although blind, is never at
a loss for expedients, he esented the maiden, whose
charms had so attracted him, with a strip of paper,
bearing the following portion of Scripture,-taken from
the Second 'Epistle of St. John, sth verse :•—•"
And now
I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new com-
mandment uhto thee, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one another ;"
which, she selected another after reading
portion? and returned him,
from the Ist chapter of Ruth, and the lath verse

as well that novices in this particular branch of sport
should be opportunely cautioned against participating
in the roe of the above-named fish, if brought upon
table, which is not only unwholesome, but is apt
to prove exceedingly dangerous, if eaten. The most
alarming symptoms of diarrhoea have too frequently, and
in some instances, fatally, accrued to persons who have,
unconscious of its pernicious effects, indulged in theroe
of the barbel. Even experienced fishermen, who may
not be immediately acquainted with the noxious proper-
ties of this fish, may perhaps, at the same time, receive a
friendly hint out of" the book of an old " brother of the
angle," without feeling themselves offended.
WHITE CONDUIT GARDENS.—The VaUX-
