The best parcels of Hops command a steady sale at fully
last weeks's quotations, but the middling and inferior quali-
ties are a slow inquiry. The duty may be called 200,0001.

from New York, in good condition.
BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Our markets have been again fairly supplied with Pota-
toes since our last report, but the quality has proved inferior.
There is, however, a good business doing, at from 3/ to 6l 105
per ton.

The imports of Wool into London in the past week have
been extensive, viz., 117 bales from Adelaide, 1,380 bales
from Bombay, 195 bales from Launceston, 919 bales from
Port Philip, 529 bales from Algoa Bay, 241 bales from the
Cape, 122 bales from Gibraltar, 70 bales from Lisbon, 202
bales from Seville, and 64 bales from Genoa. In the private
contract market a good business is doing in English Wool,
at very full prices, but foreign and colonial qualities com-
mand very little attention.

TALLOW.
This market has been very active during the past week,
and prices of every description of Tallow have advanced
Is 6d to 2s per cwt. On the spot, new T. C. is worth 46s to
46s 6d, and for forward delivery on or before the 31st De-
cember, 45s to 45s 6d. The quotation of Town Tallow is
below its value. There are letters in from St. Petersburgh
this morning. The price there was very firm, and the ship-
ments are 70,000 casks, against 83,000 to the same date last
year.

the raising of the great weight of this statue, has sur-
prised many persons, but Mr. M'Cullum does not
consider the feat more that an ordinary task, as he would
have no hesitation in undertaking to raise a body of
one hundred tons weight to a similar height of one hun-
dred and five feet, which the base on which the eques•
trian statue of the Duke of Wellington now stands
is from the ground. The work of raising the
statue was accomplished by forty-four men, eight at
each of the four " crabs" for coiling the ropes, two
holding on, and one at each stopper. Some idea of the
strength of the framework may be formed, when it is
computed that it supported a weight of about ninety tons
at a height of upwards of 105 feet from the ground.
This is ascertained by calculating the weight of the
statue, the ropes and tackling, and the number of per-
sons, of whom there were always upwards of sixty, in-
cluoing strangers, on the scaffolding, until the statue was
raised to its proper position. So excellently were all
the parts adjusted, that four men, with two single
ropes, moved the statue backwards and forwards
on the tramway, when Mr. Wyatt adjusted it on the
Thursday after it was raised to the top of the arch. The
framework required 250 loads of timber, the whole of
whicn was supplied by Woolwich Dockyard, and the ex-
pense of ironwork and labour, including the carriage,
exceeds 5001., and with the timber the total expense of
raising the statue will exceed 9001. Admiral Byham
Martin, Vice Admiral Matson, Commodore William
Henry Sheriff, late Captain Superintendent of Chatham
Dockyard, and a number of naval and military officers,
visited the statue since it has been placed on the top of
the arch, and expressed their entire approbation of the
way in which the whole of the arrangements were made
and carried into execution.

EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF THE OVERLAND
ROUTE TO INDIA, AND THE WHOLE EASTERN ARCHI-
PELAGO.—We believe that we can safely affirm that the
East India Company have given their sanction to a line
of railway across the southern continent of India, with
the view of facilitating our intercourse with the East,
with China, and with our Australian possessions. The
forthcoming report of Mr. Simms suggests the necessity
of intersecting the presidencies of Madras and Bombay
by a line of railway, and thus bringing within a month
or six weeks journey to England the most distant pos-
sessions in the southern hemisphere. If this project be
carried out, it will change the commerce of the whole
world, and consolidate our vast and scattered fragments
of empire into something like a tangible whole. To
reach China in one month, Australia in six weeks, and
to traverse the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the
vast sweep of waters in the southern hemisphere in the
same space of time, may truly be said to be a grand and
gigantic scheme.

THE ---
HE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM,
SATURDAY.—
In anticipation of the usual quarterly meetings about to
take place, it appears that the ironmasters of South
Staffordshire, have held a preparatory meeting at
Dudley, and after maturely weighing every circumstance
connected with the trade, particularly in reference to
the anticipated demand for rails, and to the operation of
the New American Tariff, resolved unanimously not to
advance the prices, but continue them at the ensuing
quarter at the same rate as the past, viz., bars and rods,
101. per ton; hoops, 10/. 10s.; sheets (single), 11/. 10$.;
and in other descriptions, in the usual proportion.
The merchants and manufacturers of Blackburn
engaged in the India trade met together last week to
consider the effect of the East India Company's salt mo-
nopoly on British interests. Mr. D. G. Aylwin, of the
house of Aylwin and Co., of Calcutta (author of a
pamphlet on the Indian salt monopoly), and Mr. Stoc-
queler, honorary secretary of the salt trade in this
country, attended, and made some instructive state-
ments on the subject in hand. Resolutions were passed,
condemning the monopoly, and pledging the meeting to
efforts for its removal.—Leeds Mercury.
