THE PRICE OF IRON IN ENGLAND AND
THE UNITED STATES.
BY reference TO the latest English prices cur
rent, we find that Pig Iron is worth SIT per 2,2i0
lbs, and bar iron $50 per 2,2i0 lbs, or one and
a third eca,.s per h. BY reference 10 the Pitts
hurgh prices, as given BY the Post we find that
pig iron is worth S2s, and bar iron $50 per 1000
lbs, or 3 rents peril.
The difference in the prices in the two coun-
tries stand thus:
England. United States.
Pig Iron els. per ID. II cts per ID.
BarIron II els. per Id. 3 Cts per Id.
II is apparent, thcn that the consumers of iron
in England pay for it just about one-half as much
as they pay in our country.
According 10 the present Tariff law, The mpost
on pig iron is 80 per 1000 lbs, and on bar iron
S25 per 1000 lbs. If these imports be added 10
the English prices OF pig and bar iron, it will be
seen how clearly the Democratic doctrine on this
subject is demonstrated.
In 1874 we find, BY reference 10 the Treasury
reports that there was imported of pig and bar
iron as follows:
Quality. Tariff Amt. duty.
Pig Iron T,46I cwts. 70 Pre-. S3i, s51
BarIron, 3l5, l57 cwls. II PFC. 1896

A MYsTERfOUS MAN.

There was man up before Recorder Ge-
nols few days since, who calls himself Re-
lambert st. Armand, and whose movementsAare
more mysterious than those of the famous
man in the white hat.' Of this truth our rea-
ders will be convinced, when they are inform
ed OF some of his movements-we say some,
because we by no means intend to give mar
rative of the whole Of his peregrnations, even
within the periods we refer to.
To begin. Some eight years ago a stran-
ger In Paris was, as he thought, having in
most secret manner, number of plates engra-
we'd, with view of counterfeiting the notes Of
the Union Bank Of Louisiana. The vigilant
Partisan police became apprised of his opera
tons, and informed the American Consul of
the facts. His schemes, for that time at least,
were frustrated, and to save himself from ar
rest, he fled to London. There-it was in the
year l838-he resumed his preparatory efforts
to increase the circulating medium. He was
arrested, tried, and sentenced to two years.
Imprisonment in the Giitspur street prison.
From prison, he wrote TO the Mayor of this
city, telling him he had startling developments
to make, touching secret association or COM
pany in Our midst, engaged in a system of ex-
tenslve forgery and counterfeiting. No at.
tentlon was paid to his letter, and he served
out his time. He was next heard of in Phil
adelPhla, and then again in Port-aG-P Prince,
Haytl; from which place ne wrote to the Nav
or Of this city, Mr.. Montegut. giving his name
as Edonard Relambert, and stating that he
was most rascally treated by the black repub-
llcans of that island that they had thrown
him into prison, taken from him $4,000 in
cash, and $4,000 in goods. and otherwise
maltreated him. He called for the interposi-
3 ton of our authorities, as he claimed to be an
! American citizen, and resident Of the parish
of St. John the Baptist, in this State. Before
: the Mayor had well time TO test the truth of
his representations, 10! he is in New Orleans,
, under the name of RelaTnbert st. Armand. He
introduces himself to the Governor, paws his
devoirs to the Mayor, publishes card III the
I Bee, soliciting from the members of the med
cal profession, to which respectable fraternity
ne claims to belong, pecuniary aid, and is
finally arrested by the First Municipality po-
lice, as dangerous and suspicious charac-
ter
1t is pity, is it not, that Capt Elliott. in
; his recent diplomatic expeditions and ;,eqotia-
tons, had not had the services of so very en-
teTprIslng gentleman, and such an adept in
; fnesse as Mons. Relambert St. Armand, or
Edouard Relambert But perhaps he is, af,
ter all, ''the man in the white hat.' He sports
a white castor, and shocking bad one, that's
