The GREE NAVIGATION THE ST. JOHN
We are glad to observe, by the proceedings Of the
Senate Of the 23d ulL. that Mr. Webster on that day
submitted resolution calling upon the President for
all correspondence which has taken place between
this government and that fGreat Britain in relation
to the northeastern boundary, from the goth June,
l5t0 to the 4th March, lS4I which was agreed to.
We hope that Mr.. WIS movement in this matter is
connected with the gross violation Of the treaty OF
Washington, in respect to the free navigation OF
the river st. John. Mr., Webster owes it to him
self to his reputation, and to the country, to come
out this question, and vindicate himself from tho
imputatisn which the British construction OF the
treaty casts upon him. 1t is incumbent on him to
declare to the country his understanding Of that
treaty; to inform them whether it was or was not
the intention of the negoators to secure to the pro-
duce Of Maine the navigation Of the St. John, free
from all toll, duties and excise whatever-and this
course on his part, is rendered the more imperative
from the extraordinary circumstance that no 'pro-
toclos" perpeuating what passed at the various
conferences between himself and Lord Ashburton
during the negotiations, appear to have been drawn
UP and signed. Lord Ashburton has already given
his opinion favor ofthe Interpretation put upon the
4th article ofthat treaty. by the British government.
Mr.. Webster can properly state his understanding
of that article. He should do so, if he desires to
move the mputation thus cast upon him, Of having
conspred with the British negotiator to cheat and
defraud the State of Maine of portion Of its terri
tory, under the delusion that she was getting
valuable rights in the st. John.

"TFIE IRON TRADE IN THE MIDDLE
STATESo

Under this head your correspondent "Mer-
cator,' in the Union of the 4th instant pro-
fesses to give the cost Of ton of pig iron in Penn
sylvana at ga 25." His estimates are evidently
predcated on the operations of some of the anthra
cite furnaces and regards these, will not deny
that they may hold good, though very much doubt
that any person making iron in this country at that
price will find himself richer in consequence. .,
Having had considerable knowledge of the iron
business in Pennsylvania during the last four years,
though not personally interested in it, can readily
see that the estimates by tMercator" are calculated
to misead the public mind upon the subject, and
perhaps be means of producing injury, If uncor-
rected, or, rather, l should perhaps say, unex-
planned. ...... ..-s 3 ia, ,qoa.. nel 10 EJC q
As remarked above, I will not dispute that in
some Of the anthracite furnaces where the coal and
ore arc in close proximity to the smelling works,
where the ore is unusually rich, and where the es-
pense Of subsistence for laborers is small, the metal
may be produced for the price named. T. Il should
be borne in mind however, that these furnaces are
but small portion of the iron establishments in ok
istence in this country, and that the whole number
(23) in and out Of blast would go but small, way
towards supplying the demand for iron in the Uni-
ted States. Also, that the cost of conveying the
metal from these to an available market is far from
rihng. Add this, and the interest on capital en-
ployed to the cos, Of manufacturing, and there will
not be found very enormous profit, even at the
But estimates, as data for consideration, should
be at least equal to the average reality of what they
purport. Extremes either way should not be con.
sidered. Now have the best reason for believing
that the following estimate will fall below the aver.
age cost of every ton of metal produced in Pennsyl
vana during the past year, or for any term Of years
preceding the present: ,..... ... ...

Criminal Court. After mailing my last COM
munication of the 18th inst, the jury in the
case of the U. States VS.. Julian May, acquitted
the traverscr. The verdict was rendered abou,
6 o'clock, p. M, when the court Adjourned
The grand jury meet again on Wednesday.
This morning Aquila R. Allen was fined SIC
fot an assault and battery upon Jno. Il. Locke
1t appears from the evidence of Mrs. Allen,
mother of the defendent, THAT J. H. Locke, who
is e constable, in levying an execution upon
the property of her husband, used very often
sive and nnbecoming language to the witness,
whefeupon the defendant, on meeting Locke in
the street, assaulted him with a cowhide. Mr.
Carlisle defended Allen. The Hon. Judge
Crawford in passing sentence upon the traver-
ser condemned him for taking the law into his
own hands, at the same time the Judge point.
eddy censured the conduct Of the officers in
executing their duty in an offensive and unbe-
coming manner. Confables, said his honor,
should avoid, while in the performance of any
official act language such as the witness had
testified to- on the part of j. H. Locke.
Several other cases were tried to-day, which
| may glance at in my next.
Very interesting services were held yester-
day in the Methodist P. Church, on 9th street,
and near the Navy Yard.
