THE IROWTRADE-in AMERICA.
By an arrival from New York on Monday, we have the
following interesting particulars relative to the development
of the iron trade there :
" The production of iron in .Pennsyliania in 1844, was
About 200,000 tons, and it is estimated that this year it will
amount to about 350,000 to 400,000 tons. It is also esti-
mated, from good data that the total production of iron in
the United States this year will not fall short of 700,000
tons, and that the consumption will amount to about 800,000
tons, leaving a deficiency, to be supplied by importation, of
about 100,000 tons. We annex a table exhibiting the
quantity and value of iron and steel of all kinds imported
into the United States for the last sixteen years.

" This table shows that, notwithstanding the immense in-
crease in the consumption of iron in this country, there has
not been any very great increase in the importation, and
that. the supplies from our own manufactories have nearly
kept pace with the increased demand fur consumption:
" The most extensive iron works in this country are those
of the Mount Savage Company of Maryland. Its present
capital is 1,500,000 dollars, with power to increase it to
500,000,000 dollars. Its stock is owned principally in Europe.
These are the only works in-the United States where railroad
iron is manufactured to any extent, and it is calculated that
20,000 tons can be made in a year. Some of the eastern
railroads now building are supplied with rails by this com-
pany.- The mines of the Mount Savage Company, and, in
fact, all the iron mines of Maryland, are situated in the Cum-
berland coal region, which, • for the manufacture of iron, is
said to be superior to any other.
"The iron manufacturers of Great Britain already feel
alarmed at the rapid increase in this business in this country."

THE SUSPICIOUS CASE OF
POISONING AT BROMLEY.
The• ease of tale X.01115g.7-9Nal, klarrietAlonckten,
'was poisoned by prussic atict two years ,back at grange",
iiertlttr-subeequent extraordinary conduct:Of, the Coroner_
with reference to the transaction, continue to create a great
tleal-of interest in the neighb'burhood, and some circum-
stances have- recently transpired which render it very de-
sirable that the niatter should be brought to some termina-
tion, and that the guilty party—for that the deceased met
her death bY foul play there seems to be no doubt enter-
tained either by the jury or the medical men who were exa-
mined—should be discovered, or that those against whom
suspicions have been entertained should be exonerated from
all share in the foul transaction. As so long a period has
elapsed since the commencement of the inquiry, it may be
not amiss to state briefly under what circumstances the de-
ceased c,•las discovered, and the facts upon which the above
opinion is lounded. It appeared that Harriet Monckton,
who is described as being a fine, handsome young woman,
was the daughter of •pGor parents residing in the neighbour-
hood of Bromley, but. they bad contrived to give her a
rather better education than ordinary, and she had obtained
a situation as a teacher at a school in London, which,
shortly before the period at which she came by her un-
timely end, she had given up, and was about to take an-
dther of a similar character at Arundel, in Sussex, but
befolz proceeding to her new situation, she came to
Bromley' to pass a few days with her mother. On the
Monday Iv `eir she was last seen alive she left home
apparently in good health and spirits, saying that she
should return smartly, and was never more seen
alive. Search was made for her that evening and all the
next day, but without avail, !luta the evening of Tuesday,
whet it was suggested by one of the party who was in search
of the deceased, that they should examine a closet, situated
at the rear of a Dissenting chapel in Widmore-lane, Bromley,
and, upon going there, the deceased was found dead upon the
floor of the closet, in a sitting position, and from the perfectly
placid and composed appearance of her features, it was at first
supposed that she bad died a natural death, particularly as
there was no trace of any deadly instrument or ingredient visi-
ble by which the death could have been occasioned. The Coroner
forthis division of Kent held his inquest in due course, and, at
the suggestion of the jury," a post mortem examination of
the deceased was made by Mr. Kott, a surgeon, residing at
Bromley, and another medical gentleman. It was then dis-
covered, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the deceased
had come by her death by means of prussic acid, a quantity
being found in her stomach sufficient, in the opinion of the
medical gentlemen, to have killed a dozen people. It also
appeared that the unfortunate-girl was very:far advanced in
the family way, and anearly full-grown child had shared the
fate of its unhappy mother. Upon the re-assembling of the
' jury these additional facts were given:in evidence, and very
strong testimony was adduced to show that it was almost
impossible that the deceased could have destroyed herself.
In the first place, it appeared by the medical testimony that the
effects of the poison must have been to destroy life al-
most immediately, so that she must have taken it in the place
where the deceased was found, but no phial or cup was
discovered that could have contained the poison, either there
or anywhere near the place. In the next place, if the de-
ceased had herself taken the poison, she would no doubt have
fallen immediately to the ground, and her dress would, in all
probability, have been in confusion; but, on the contrary, as
above stated, she was found in an easy sitting position, her
clothes apparently smoothed down, with her left hand rest-
ing easily upon her thigh, and with a white handkerchief
under it. The impression produced by the evidence upon
the jury, and upon almost all who heard it, was, that the
the poison had not been taken by the deceased in the closet,
but that it had been administered to her elsewhere, and after
she was dead that she had been carried and placed in the
position in which she was found. Some adjournments were
made by the Coroner's jury, but although upon each occasion
nothing transpired in any way to alter their opinion that the
deceased met her death by foul play, no direct evidence was
adduced tending to fix the guilt upon any individual; and
since the last adjournment, which is now upwards of eighteen
months ago, the Coroner has declined to call the jury to-
gether, although repeated applications have been made to
him to do so. The jury was originally composed of fifteen
individuals, but of this number one is dead, another has gone
abroad, and a third has left this part of the country, still,
however, leaving twelve, a number that would be competent
to come to a decision upon the subject. A short time back
these twelve gentlemen sent a communication to the Coroner
requesting to know when he intended to call them together,
and they received a reply, stating that he should do so very
shortly; but since then nothing more has been heard upon
the subject. The jory,. however, feel so strongly the neces-
sity for public inquiry into this mysterious affair, that it is
understood to be their intention to apply to the Secretary of
State upon the subject.
