We cannot believe that The new Tariff will
very seriously affect the iron business in this
country. A Manchester, England, paper slales
that a meeting Of iron masters, held in Walsall,
Wolverhamp,on and Birmingham, has agreed
moi to alter during the current year the rates fixed
at last quarter day. The stocks on hand are said
10 be exceedingly low, and fresh orders coming in
daily; indeed, the difficulty will be to meet The de-
zaand for iron which triN be required during The
nex. fs,c yea,s for English and foreign railways.
Already contracts for 10000 tons have been taken
by the Chillington Company, Messrs. Bagnalls
Of Yves, Bromwich, and Messrs. Foster & Co., Of
Slourbridge, in the proportion of 10000 tons
each; besides about 5000 tons Of railway chairs
When the number OF companies who have alrea-
dy obtained their acts, and whose lines intersect
the midland district and our own immediate
neiehborhood, is taken into account, the difficult
ty will be, no. 10 keep up prizes, int for masters TO
fulfil their engagements"
Our iron men, then, need have but little apprc-
hension, for "the next few yeaTs,"ot British COM
petition. 1t will be busy enough 10 supply the
"home market"

The SHADOW OF AN Ass-The Greeks

on the shadow OF an ass This took rise from
an anecdote which Demosthenes is said TO
have related 10 the Athenians, to excite their
attention during his defence Of criminal.

"A traveller, he said, once went fiom Megara
on hired ass. Ithappened TO be at the hme
Of dog days, and at noon. He was much ex-
posed 10 the unmitigated heat offhe sun and
not finding so much as hush under which to
take shelter, he hethought himself TO descend
from the ass, and seat himself under its shad-
ow. The owners of the donkey, who ac-
companied him, objected TO this. declaring to
him that when he let the animal. the use of
its shadow was not included in the bargain.
The dispute al last grew so warm, that il got
to blows; and finally gave rise to an action
at law After having said so much. Demos
themes continued the defence Of his client
but the auditors. whose curiosity he had
piqued, were extremely anxious TO know how
the judges decided on so singular cause
Upon this, the author commented severely
on their childish injustice. in devouring with

which the life Of a human being was involved

THE PRESIDENTS MILITARY NOM

Every one Of the general officers Of the

Polk, is a Loco F0co! Every one Of them
wears the same political silipe;' although
it had been previously intimated that the
President, in making hrs seleciious. would
act as the President of the people, and not
of bis party. In regard to this reasonable ex-
pectation. we have been totally disappointed
not, however, for the first time, for who
that knows ought of President Polk places
any political confidence in him whatever

we must be contenled with the knowledge
that General Taylor and many Of his most

not That it will be made such war is
highly probable; for it will be recolIected

on the practice of medicine, with very fair
prospects, but in an evil hour he consented to
become candidate for election TO the State

endowments, and competent literary educa-

PERSONS APPARENTLY DROWN

As every body should be acquainted with
the treatment Of such cases, which do not
admit Of the delay for medical attendant, we
publish the following:
When person has remained more than
twenty minutes under later, the prospect of
his recovery IS small; yet we should not too
soon resign the unhappy object to his fate
but try every method for his relief, as there
are many well attested instances ofthe recoy-
cry OF persons TO life and health, who had
been taken out Of the water apparently dead,
and remained so considerable time withou,
showing any signs Of life. In attempting to
recover persons apparently drowned, the
principal intention TO be pursued is, to restore
natural warmth, upon which all the vital func-
tons depend, and to excite these functions
by the application Of stimulauts. First strip
him oil his wetclothes, and dry him well when
he is dried, lay him between two hot blankets,
and renew them as they grow cold. Rub
him constantly with salt, warm ashes or coarse
dry cloths, aud rub on bis wrists and ANGLES

the same TO his nose. You may likewise ap-
ply bottles or bladders, filled with hot water,

al means of restoring heat TO the body are
as possible with apar of bellows. by inserting
the pipe into one nosiril, while the other nos
iril and mouth are kept closed, and blowing
fOrcibly; or for want Of bellows, you NAV use
common glyster-pipe. or in case Of necessi-
ty, use common tobacco pipe or quill
Some persons should blow through the pipe

are closed as before. When the lungs are
full, press upon the breast, and force The air

this process for half an hour or more. In ad q.
dition to this method, you may dip blanket
into boiling water, wiring it as dry as possible
and wrap the person in it. Repeat this every

These means ought TO be continued for two
or three hours at least. even if no signs Of

but more gently when the patient can swal-

WEALTH OF THE MEXICAN CHURCHES
Major Noah. in the N. Y. Times, speaking OF
the immense treasures The Mexican churches
contain. says:
"In the cathedral OF Paebla delos ADglas
hangs grand chandelier Of massive gold and
silver. not of ounces averdvpois, but whole
tons in weight, collected under the viceroys
from the various tributary mines. On the
right ofthe altar stands carved figure Of the
Virgin, dressed in beautiful embossed satin
executed by all the nuns of the place. A
round her neck is suspended row of pearls
of precious value, cornet of pure gold enciI-
cles her brow, aud her waist is bound with a
zone Of diamonds and enormous briliants.
The candelabras in the cathedral Of silver
and gold, are too massive to be raised even
BY the strongest hand; and the Host is one
mass of SPLENDID jewels of the richest kind.
In the Mexican cathedral there is,a railing OF
exquisite workmanship, FIVE feet in height
and two hundred feet in length Of gold and
silver, on which stands figure of the Virgin
Of Remedies, with three pettcoats-one Of
pearls, one of emeralds. and OF diamonds the
figure alone is valued at three millions Of dol
lars. In the church Of Gaudaloupe there are
still richer and more splendid articles and in
that Of Loretto they have figures representing
the Last Supper, before whom are placed
piles of gold and silver plate to represent the
simplicity Of that event. 1t is the same 10 all
