articles of that description, without pattern, would appear to
remain precisely as heretofore.

THE TARIFF.—We have tasted the American pork which
has been imported into this town, and God forbid that ever
we should be compelled to make it our general food. We
uhesitatingly state that it is totally unfit to be placed before
any man, let his position in society be what it may.—Car-
marthen Journal.

Tae CORN TRADE.—Although there is still a considera-
ble want of confidence on the part of purchasers, and not the
slightest disposition to speculate, a steady consumptive de-
mand for wheat has prevailed throughout the week, of suffi-
cient magnitude to take off the supplies brought forward by
the growers ; and, at most of the markets in the agricultural
districts, prices have risen Is. to 2s. per quarter since our
last. Holders of duty-paid foreigu have not been slow to
take advantage of this opportunity to raise their pretensions ;
and even at those ports where the largest stocks are still
held, a similar enhancement has been firmly Insisted on.—

A NOBLE MONUMENT TO GRACE DARLING.—A letter
appears in the- Berwick Warder suggesting "that the best
and most appropriate monument would be the restoration of
the Chapel of St. Cuthbert, where that eminent Christian
worshipped, the remains of which stand upon the Great Fern
Island, with a tablet within the building to the memory of
the deceased. There being several families upon the islands,
the chapel is wanted for the worship of GOD, and many per-
sons would be disposed to contribute largely to such a work,
and would feel a pleasure in placing the monument in a holy
place in the midst of the islands in which she and her family
have lived so long." We need hardly say that we entirely
concur in the view taken by the writer.

THE REAL WORTH OF CHAILTISNI.—On Saturday, the
' provincial organ of chartism, the Northern Star, published
the " balance sheet of the executive" for the last quarter.
This "casting-up of accounts" will enable the public to
judge of the extent of chartism, and the sympathy which its
advocates find in the mass of the population. better than by
the 3,000,000 signatures asserted to have been attached to
the " National Petition." From the recent disturbances in
the north, it would be imagined by those who are not aware
of the ease with which the unemployed and disaontented
workmen of that district are excited, that such a bustling place
as Ashton, where chartism boasts of having taken up a
strong position, would show a very respectable muster of
what O'Connor styles " blistered hands" in support of the
charter, and also a goodly contribution to assist in its consum-
mation. The balance-sheet, however, shows that Ashton has
but GO " fraterinizing" chartists; and their permanent re-
sources for the quarter amount to exactly the sum of 10s.

enabled its various associations to induce only 11,363 persons
to enrol themselves as members at twopence per quarter;
