u 01.7 TRADE.—We are glad to hear that
the workmen in the Staffordshire ironworks are well em-
r'°oYetli and are obtaining good wages. The demand for
irn
, good, though at low prices. Previous to the oc-
`uucc quarter-day an advance was anticipated, which, how-
ever, did not take place generally. Towards the close of
ae last year, some feverish persons holding stocks, became
Prehensive of a reduction, and anxious to run off those
siCeksi offered them at prites even lower than have since
7n determined upon at the regular Quarterly Meeting
the Ironmasters held at Dudley on the Ist inst., which
'7" most numerously attended.— Wolverhampton Ch! On.
The Genoa's main-mast has been taken out,
nad brought to the Dock-yard, where it has been stripped
for inspection. This mast is made on Sir ROBERT SEP-
Lilii(4% principle, in sixteen sections, and is the first of the
:14"d ever tried in action. It has received in and through
itt nearly forty shot of different aorta and sizes, between the
besets trees and the quarter-deck. It appears to be the
ceided opinion of Mr. SaLLY, the carpenter, that had the
Th,,ast been one made en the old plan it must have fallen.
-'efore the vessel could leave the Bay of Navarin, it
" necessary to secure the mast, and this was done
" weil,by Mr. Sztox, that on her arrival at Malta, it
could not be altered for the better, and although the Genoa
!uconntered many a heavy squall with thunder and light-
fling on her passage home, the mast stood firmly. A model
of the mast with its repairs is ordered to be taken as a spe-
cimen of superior workmanship—a circumstance equally
creditable to Sir Itc'seter Szensres's
plan, and to the car
renter who executed the repairs—Plymouth Journal.
A gentleman has arrived irt London who left
Constantinople three days before the departure of the Arn•
baasadors, and who travelled, across the Continent, cern-
Ineneing his route through Bucharest and Hernianstadt.
.I!c4kyd that the precautions taken by the Turkish authori-
tolarevent even the slightest ground of offence to sub-
-Itch of thethree Allied Powers, or any „t
which could be
construed into -a. hostile feeling towards • them, were very
realorkable. The Turkish Government is
determined, if
171,4 r °Thu:maces, that it shall be in no respect the aggressor.
The proposition for placing English subjects under the pro-
eticoa of the Dutch Embassy, was alone objected to b
the Porte, because it was wished that they should havye
"nfidence in the honour of the Turkish Government, and
:lit no other protection. Our informant, in his route
Zougli Turkey, had only to be known as an Englishman
•t 0 ensure attentive and respectful treatment.
COUNTRY QUARTER SESSIONS.—
There
• hare not been sessions for- a considerable time at which so
'Thoth business had to be got through, as during those
thich have just terminated throughout England and

s tigerable. At Shrewsbury 23 prisoners were found
of whom five were for poaching, one to be trans-

the county, and three for the city ; at Worcestershire '75,
4 efllicia 64 are in the county gaol, and 11 in the city.

a cessions calendar is unprecedented there. In War-
gaol there were over 120 prisoners for trial at the
