COASTING TRADE.
The following Circular was received at the Bal

The following Circular was received at the Bal
timore Custom House on Friday:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Aug. 25.
From representations made to this Department,
there is reason to believe that in some of the Col
lection Districts due vigilance is not exercised by
the Officers of the Customs in the examination of
the MANIFEsTs of Vessels licensed for the CoAsTING
TRADE. 1t being considered highly important that
the Government should at all times be enabled to
derive full and accurate information from the re-
cords of the Custom House, in reference to the
transit, from port to another along the coast Of
the United States, of goods, and merchandise,
of every description, the officers of the Customs
are reminded that the manifest required under the
laws, either to be deposited with the Collector or
exhibited when demanded, the may be,
must in reference to all vessels under icence, in
Guiding the regular lines of steamers other YES
sels exhibit full and particular account of cargo
referring to the several packages, SC. by mark and
numbers describing their character, and giving the
contents quantities of each. In where these
requirements not complied with, the Officers OF
the Customs not authorized to certify the mani
fest, or to grant entry permit to proceed to
another port; and it is their duty vigorously to
force the penalties provided for violations of the law
in all cases.

BRITISH IRON.
From the New York Express.


Some Of the Pennsylvanians, including those who
hurraed for " Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff Of 1872
as well as the Wings who predicted the fraud and
hypocrisy involved in that cry, are complaining
bitterly that Pennsylvania Railroads to be laid
with British iron. 1t is indeed anomalous that iron
should thus lind its way across the Atlantic 10
the Iron State; but though it illustrates the pro
verb OF carrying Goals to Newcastle, it is never.
theless true. Here is the sad evidence Of what W.
state, and wherein is proved the fact of what Seems
to be almost freak of fortune rather than sobe
reality.
The Norristown Herald publishes notice. issued
to their workmen by Reeves Buck * Co., of the
PhmniXville Works, who had made proposals to the
Canal Board for supp wing the rails for the road
offering them at low rate-'' lower than ever
before offered by American manufacturers'-and
were, in consequence, so confident of getting the
contract that they notified the workmen, and made
preparations for resuming operations the 10th
Their notice OF two days earlier date, and tC
the following effect-
We expected to have started the Pudding
Furnaces in the Rail Mill on next Monday morn
ing. We are informed by this days mail that the
party that expected would take the rails made
from the iron that intended to have puddled
next week, have purchased English rails at less
price than we make them.
" We have nothing to do, and shall not be able
to start the mill again until have orders, which
we hope will not be long.
awe regret that we cannot find work for the
men in employ, but the fault is not ours it is
o,oing to the 1driFof 1916"
sThe party referred to was the Canal Board
The price, the Herald says, at which Messrs. r.
B. s Co. offered to furnish their rails was s51 q
TOM and it is admitted" adds that Journal q that
there is difference of 20 y cent in favor of the
American over the English rails; but because the
latter could be had in our market at $40, our Cana
Board gave them the preference"
There are large quantities of British iron Just now
in the course OF importation in every large seaport
in the country We hear of it at Portland Boston
New York, Baltimore, and Southwark; and now, t.
cap the climax of all, the State officers of Pcnnsv
vania feel called upon to employ the labor of British
miners and the of British capital to aid them ir
completing State work. The fires of the Ameri
can workshop are put out to light up the British
furnace. English coal and English iron, English
capital and English labor thus made to meet
and beard us at own furnaces and coal pits. Th.
is sorry fact and which all the blessings o
Free Trade does not compensate us for.
We could wish, even though the price of railroad
iron trife higher than it is, that our owl
capital and labor found and employment. The
effect would be to benefit the many, though it might
be of some temporary disadvantage to the few.

RIO JANEIRO MARKETS.

The fast sailing brig Ernani, of Baltimore, at New
York from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed 18th
April, furnishes the latest advices. The following
is from commercial house:
RIO JANERo, April 18th, lSl9.
Our last monthly adyices were dated 18th ult.
since when affairs have undergone some improve
ment, and we have to notice rather confidence
in business, than at the date of our last. This is
mainly be attributed to the paciicaton Of Pcrnan-
buco aud better prospects for produce in foreign
markets.
IMPoRTs.-B readstu6s.- Of flour have
been comparatively small since our last, but about
equal TO consumption say 1882 brls. from the
United States and Trieste, and 5hO bags flour aud 1862
bags wheat from Chill, which makes our stock re-
main without any material dminution. The arrivals
Of cargoes from Trieste and Chill has had the effect
Of depressing the market. We have had but little
demand for exportation and the shipments yet to
California do not reach 5000 brls. While flour
tinues low in Chill, do not look for any demand
for that quarter. Sales during the past month
prise about IS 900 brs. from $4,000 cash to l40O0
per bril-. credit for Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
Orleans brands, aud from $4,000 cash to l7000 per
brl. credit for Richmond City Mills. Stock in all
hands estimated at 81 900 brls., of which about
81, 900 remain in first hands.
