From this it appears that the total imports of
Pigs in 1851 were only 35,260 tons, of which
England supplied not 12,000 tons, Belgium up-
wards of 16,000, Germany 1,300, and the Sardinian
States nearly 1,000. Last year (1852) their im-
ports of Pig Iron amounted to 46,244 tons. Sup-
plied, 26,416 from Belgium, 15,002fr0m England,
and 4,826 from other countries. Here we learn
that Belgium and Germany, with sundry other
places, were not only able to compete with us, but
supplied collectively in 1851, 23,433 tons against
our 11,827 ; and in 1852, 31,242 tons against our
15,002 tons, throwing us entirely into the shade :
but it may be said that Belgium enjoyed the
reduction of duty which has only just come into
operation as regards British Pig Iron ; that is
true, yet, we must remember that when she com-
peted with us it was during a time when Pig Iron
was selling in Glasgow at 355. per ton : now it
is 80s. per ton, so that
i the account stands thus—
a reduction of duty n favour of England of
17s. 641. per ton, and an increase in price on
English Pigs of 455. per ton (from 355. to 80s.)
making a balance of 275. 6d. per ton in favour
of Belgium' exports. As an argument in favour
of the present price, it has been said, that Belgium
was about to take the initiation from France and
reduce the duty upon foreign Iron, and that this
would give Pig Iron a further lift; but these men
surely cannot know that Belgium is our exporting
country as regards Pig Iron. Cotton producing
countries might with equal propriety say that
the United States is about to reduce the duty on
cotton imported into their States, and draw there-
from an inference of an increased value of every
description of cotton not the growth of the United
States. No, what we may expect Belgium to do,
will be to declare a reduction on the duty on coals
—now about 12s. 6d. per ton—and so put their
iron masters in a still better position than they
now enjoy, to keep their command of the French
and other Continental markets. To-DAY there
has been nothing doing, and sales have, for some
time been " like angels' visits, few and far be-
tween"; the nominal price being 795. to 795. 6d.,
cash. In Manufactured Iron a good business is
doing ; makers being full of orders, and refusing
to take further contract excepting at the, advance
of 20s. per ton, of which they have given notice.

that if he was discharged she would take greater care of
him, the court complied with her wish; but Males was

PRODUCE.—There has been a good business
done during the week in almost all descriptions of
produce, and a general tone of firmness seems to
prevail. To-DAY, the business in Sugar is con-
fined to refining descriptions, of which 15 hhds.
Demerara and 40 hhds. low Barbadoes have been
taken at 325. 9d., 2,000 bags Khaur at 295., and
600 bags low brown Dates at 28s. 6d. per cwt.
There is nothing to notice in Molasses. Of Rum,
about 100 puncheons Demerara have been sold at
the decline noticed on Friday. Fifty bags washed
Rio Coffee are reported at 50s. per cwt. The Tea
market is decidedly less active, and to effect sales
lower rates would. require to be conceded ; one or
two small parcels of common Cono•ou are offered
at a discount, with short prompts. °A
small parcel
of Bengal Rice has been taken at 155., and 300
bags Saltpetre at 295. 9d. to 30s. per cwt. for 41
and 3 per cent. refraction. We have also to notice
50 cases Castor Oil at 41d. to 4d. per lb., 800
pockets dead Cowries at 425. per cwt., a small
lot of Jamaica Logwood at £6 55., and 15 tons
Jamaica Fustic at £6 17s. 6d. per ton.
WooL.—The market still continues to rally from
the depression under which it has suffered for se-
verel months past, and this week a fair amount of
business has again been done at full prices. East
India middle and low whites are much sought
after, and an advance of id. to Id. per lb. is readily
obtained on our last sale prices. Alpaca, of which
stocks are now pretty large in this market, remain
neglected ; but, as the manufacturers are not very
heavily stocked with this article, we expect to see
an improved demand shortly. Long wools gene-
rally are in better request, and.command full rates.
Imports for the week, 7,231 bales, viz.: 755 bales
East India ; 414 Buenos Ayres ; 5,658 Peruvian
and Alpaca ; 389 from the Mediterranean ports ;
5 Scotch, and 10 Irish.
Messrs. W. GREAME and Co. say :
" During the early part of the past month, the Wool
trade continued in the same depressed state as noticed in
our circular of Ist ult., and the few sales were to a small
extent, and at a considerable sacrifice to holders. The
London auction sales terminated on 17th ult., with more
firmness, at a slight advance for Australian and Cape
Wools on prices current at the date of our last; since then
the market has gradually recovered, and we have now, we
are glad to say, a decided improvement to notice in many
descriptions of Wool, buyers show more disposition to

Memoirs of Convicted Prisoners. With Remarks
on the Causes and Prevention of Crime. By
Rev. H. S. Joseph. London : Wertheim and Co.
This volume is written by one who, in his official
capacity of chaplain at Chester Castle, is necessarily
much acquainted with criminals, and deeply
interested in understanding the causes, remote and
proximate, which lead to crime. Like most others
who have reflected on or inquired into the subject,
he finds the chief sources of criminal outbreair in
ignorance and drunkenness, two causes which act
and re-act on each other with a fearfully-increasing
power and influence. He finds no difficulty in
tracing in the criminal of to-day the drunkard of
the previous year, whom again he readily recognises
'as the uneducated stripling of a few years back.
Thus it is ever found—ignorance is the parent of
moral depravity, the fruitful offspring of which are
sensuality and crime. From such premises it is
reasonable to presume that our author, in the first
place, proposes to lay the axe to the root of the
tree, and, by dispelling ignorance and disseminating
knowledge, pave the way for a wider extent of
moral sway—for the more perfect operation of
religious influences. By education, however, he
does not mean exclusively the inculcation of secular
knowledge, but an indoctrinating with the prin-
ciples of Christianity. On this subject let us hear
what he says relative to the system pursued in many

has lately appeared in Blendarnel, Argyleshire. Last
summer, on one farm, five dogs had to be destroyed.
Since then the disease has appeared among the cattle, and
the farmer has lost a rood many of them. Svmntoms of

it have shown themselves among the h

SUICIDE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Sunday week, about
midnight, a man, 84 years of age, named John Beautyman,
residing in New George-street, Hull, committed suicide
by throwing himself out of his bedroom, a distance of
about 50 feet from the ground. The old man had forced
himself through a square of glass in his bedroom window,
about 10 inches wide and 14 inches long. In jumping,
some of the glass fell on the projecting stone of the win-
dow below, and aroused the old man's attendant, who im-
mediately ran up stairs, but too late to render assistance.
COMPLAINT AGAINST THE RECORDER OF HULL.—The
Eastern Counties Herald lately made some strictures
upon Mr. Warren, the recently-appointed recorder of
Hull, in reference to a sentence which he passed upon a
poor lad of eigfilleeu months' imprisonment, and to be
five times whipped. A gentleman wrote to the Secretary
of State on the subject, and Lord Palmerstonadvised Her
Majesty to remit the remainder of the whippings to which
this prisoner was sentenced, and to reduce his term of
,-,e 0;, mori-hfa from the date of

his conviction. Complaints are also made of the inequality
of Mr. Warren's sentences.
