ENORMOUS PIGS.—We have received the
following di.scription of two extraordinary fat pigs :--On
Monday, Drc. 31, 1832, a large pig was killed, which
had been raffled for at the Green Dragon Inn, near th.
Four Crosses, on the Street-way•road, and won by Mr.
JOHN PADDOCK, nurseryman. Cannock. It' weigh, d
1.1971b5. ; was " set up" for 321 10s., and was only tAo
and a half years old. It measured 9 feet 3 inches in
length, its girth was 9 feet 7 inches ; the two hams
weighed 2771b5., the head 821h5., and the spare ribs and
lest 17911)8. This immense animal was bred by Mr
CHARLES KEELING, of Cuogreve, and fed by Mr JOHN
PRATT, of Saredon-mill. A pig of very uronou-il tne
property of Mr. FINNEY, of Wherrinvton-windmill, was
killed on the 31st ult., which weighed 58 score. The
head weighed 751h5., and measured 2 feet 4 inches in cir-
cumference. It was bred by GEORGE GREEN, of Beeston,
near Leeds, was reared by JOHN HasseL, of C,,eildleton,
near Leek, and fed by Mr. FlNNEY.—Staffordshire
Advertiser.

FREE TRADE.—Among the numerous pas- I
sengers from New York were some woollen manuf c
turers, several wool-growers from the interior, and also I
some importers of foreign goods. An interesting discus
sion was started by some of the mingled company upon
the subject Of the manufacturing interests cf America, and
as I felt anxious to elicit their opinions upon the policy
or impolicy of the protective system, I did my best to
agitate and keep alive the topic. As I anticipated would
be the case, the manufacturers and wool-growers were de-
cided friends of the high tariff; first, as a measure of reta-
liation, because Great. Britain refused to receive American
fi 'or or grain, the staple articles of produce, upon a favour.
able fooing ; and, secondly, because, as the mannfactur-
log interest had heen created by the help of the tariff, and,
in spite of many discouragements ir, the onset, was then
flourishing under its protection, it would be, as they
alleged, worse than madness to abandon a system which
was rapidly enriching their ,muntry, and rendering it com-
pletely independent in the event of a foreign war. The
importers argued upon the Huskissionian theory, that it
wool or any raw material could be imported at a cheaper
rate than it could be produced at home, it was sound policy
to avail themselves of such importation ; and further,
that if any particular branch of business could nut bi
carried on by them as successfully as by foreigners, it
was folly to think of protecting or forcing such by pre-
miums ; in short, the maxim, " buy at the cheapest market
and sell at the dearest," seemed to have made a proper im-
pression en the minds of the debater, on the anti-tariff side
trf the question. Those wise arguments, however, were
not relisbed by the manufacturers ; nor did the listening
throng, several of whom joined in the discussion, applaud
tbenr.....Arntrica and the Americans.
