So great is the demand for iron, that one ad-
vance follows another in quick succession about
a month since there was an .advance of 203. per
ton, and about a week ago another took place.—
It is a truly charming sight to witness, on an
evening, in the neighbourhood of Dudley, Bil-
ston, &c. where so much distress and misery
Jately prevailed, the immense number of fires from
the furnaces, forges, &c. Never did we witness
so much activity prevail-thfOfighout the iron trade
as at this rime —(Birthingham Herald, Nov. 1.)
We have an account of the melancholy acci-
dent which deprived the service, in India, of the
gallant and distinguished major CAMPBELL, of the
9th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry. The
Major, with a party of Officers belonging to the
Poonah subsidiary force, were enjoying the plea-
sure of hunting the wild hog. They started a
.samber (a large kind of deer), and while eager
in the pursuit over a rugged country, the Major's
horse fell, and the Major was so severely hurt that
he survived but a few hours. On the body being
operred, it was found that the kidneys.were com-
pletely destroyed.
