IRON MOULDINGS.
MR. EDITOR—It appears that the great ex-
pence in building at the -present time is in the
finer parts of the. carpenters' wgrk,—namely,,
mouldittes -fpr doomkwindows,, and 'the skirtings
of rdoffiS,—:iBhas•therettat 3`een- sitygNeds that
CAST-IRON MOULDINGS would form an excellent
substitute for wood, at a considerable less ex-
pence. Cast-Iron frames for windows, and for
the rails of staircases, are in use ; but as country
carpenters in general do not know where they
are to be obtained, the Iron Masters should give
notice of it in some of the London Papers. If
this idea is carried into effect, it will extend the
consumption of NATIVE IRON, and induce many
persons to'build, who are now deterred from it
by the great charge of carpenters' work. These
Mouldings can easily be cast to any pattern, ac-
cording to the style of architecture to be used
for the building. The Iron Masters should pub-
lish a tariff, with the sizes, strengths, and prices,
and the use of Cast-Iron for these purposes
would soon become general,—it will be a double
saving in money and time. In ornamental cot-
tages they might be introduced with great faci-
lity and advantage. As I perceive, from your
excellent and impartial Paper, that you readily
insert useful suggestions on all subjects, literary
and scientific, I will thank you to permit these
observations to appear in it.

CURSORY THOUGHTS, &c.

ic Time and Tide," it has often been said,
" wait for no man," nor woman either.—As for
the TIMES at present, the less that is said the
better—but the tides seem still to keep up their
Charter at Execution Dock and at Hammersmith,
waiting for the tide, for there is a " tide in the
affairs" of woman, as well as of man, has post-
poned the presentation of the Address of those
enlightened bodies, the Lightermen and Water-
men of the River Thames, at Brandyburgh
House. Next week a more enlightened body,
the Lamplighters, will run to Hammersmith with
their ladders linked together consecutively, fol-
lowed by that public spirited Corporation—the
Washerwomen !
Mr. THELWALL calls ALDERMAN `MOOD a
cc Noble of Heaven's own, appointment"—that
must be a step above a Baron of Her MAJESTY'S
appointment. It reminds us, however, of an
Hibernian anecdote : .

Mrs. 0 'DEMPSEY, of Monasterevan, had a grown-
up daughter, some years ago, when military uni-
forms, as Ladies' riding habits) were quite the
tippy in " Green Erin."
Miss O'DEMPSEY walked down stairs one
morning in military costume, with a pair of dash-
ing epaulets, when Mamma exclaimed—" There
you are ! all in red scarlet, with a pair of bullets
on your showlders, and much they become you."
" Sure ! Mother," said Miss OTEMPSEY,
CC and can't you let me alone ! a'nt 1 as G
made me ?"

" Troth ! you are my dear," replied Mamma,
" and a pretty Devil he has made of ;you !"
A few evenings ago, at Brandyburgh House,
when all the little wits were assembled, enlivened
by " not absolute wisdom," and " all that
human wit can devise," Heaven's own Noble,
Baron and Alderman Brandyburgh, was lament-
ing that his Loyalty to her MAJESTY had set all
the I'Venal Press against him—concluding his la-
mentation with a quotation from SHAKESPEARE—
for the Devil is said sometimes .to quote Scrip-
ture—" This is the Head and Front of my of-
fending"
" No ! no ! Good Mr. Alderman, mon Cceztr—
mon ange—mon tres cher ami"—replied his Pa-
troness, " not quite so bad neither. You have
a Front certainly—but you have " no Head !"
