Segment OF charcoal iron from Nova Scotia the
produce of the Acadian Iron in that COLONY. be-
ing the first importation thence, except a small
sample a year ago, which obtained a medal at
ene great exhibition. This iron has proved to be
well adapted for steel THE highest quality, and it
may. perhaps, ultimately compete with the sup

feargus " Conner has excited good deal of
attention In London by his crazy proceeding at
Westminster Hall. He went into the Court Of
Ecxchequer and gave way to strange wildne,s
OF demeanor, and waving and kissing his hand to
the bench, he began to laugh in a very hearty
| style. The noise made by the unfortunate MEM
per prevented the argument which was before
| the court being proceeded with; the barrister sat
down, and their Lordships were considering an
parently what was to be done, when the unhoppv
man burst forth in loud tone of voice, and, half
grlnning, said, waving his hand to the Chief
Baron, elbow do you do, Sir Frederick Pollock
very glad to you looking so we'll, Sir Freder-
lex; you're noble fellow; like you, do; you're a
good fellow
The ushers called s'SiIence!" and Mr.. OCon-
nor perceving, perhaps, that he was likely to be
handed over to the of an officer of the court
hurrledly snatched up his hat, and laughing and
oowlng to the bench, took his departure. One of
the ushers was sent out to communicate with the
police, and on the hon. member being sought for.
1t was found that he had paid visit to the Court
OF common Pleas to the discontinue of the bench
and bar Taking seat in the inner bar, he shook
hands with several of the Queens Counsel, talked
OF his trip to America ina very incoherent style,
and, as in the Exchequer, began to nod and auoh
at the Judges. This he kept up for about FIVE
minutes, and on Mr.. Justice Maule laying down
some principle of law applicable to the cause
then being heard, he gave vent to violent out
burst OF laughter, and appeared as much amused
as 1.-THE learned judge relating some curious
story.
As his Lordship was concluding each sentence
he observed, "Ah % sTo be sure" "Y Oh are rioht.n
every strange" And at moments, when he an.
parently was not needing the Judges remarks, he
entertained himself by beating his fingers on the
table, as it keeping time with some tune he was
hummlng. Mr. Justice Maule having concluded.
MIR. O'Connor rose, and smiling and bowling in n
most profound manner, at the same time having
farewell laugh at the members of the bar made
his exit In the eccentric style as had marked
his entrance. He then visited the court where
the Lords Justices Lord Cranworth and knight
Bruce were hearing appeals. He forced his
way to close under the BENCH and muttering
some unconnected sentences to Sir P. Wood, STAR
ed the Lords Justices full in the face and began
to nod and laugh atthem.
He gradually moved himself more in front oftbe
bench, and at length his conduct interrupted the
business. lie was desirousapparently of paving
the same compliment to either one of their Lord
ships as he paid to the Chief Baron and continued
bowling and grinnng. Sir. knight Bruce, howey-
er, Immediately inquired for one of the officers of
the Court. The enquiry was quite enough for
Mr. OConnor, and before there was time for the
official to be forthcoming, he went bowling out of
the Court. He next visited the Lord Chancel-
Tor, and forcing his way below the inner bar, be-
gan to nod aud smile with his former vigor As
may be imagined, he succeeded in interruptine
the business OF this Court; his eccentricties also
had attracted number of followers and for the
Time much commotion prevailed At length his
peculiar demeanor excited the observation of the
LORD chancellor, who, in his usual calm and dig
nlfed style, desired him to set down. Mr.. o.;
Connor again grinned and bowed, and having the
1ear' probably OF being committed for contempt
OF that high Court, bowed and laughed to all near
him, and made hasty retreat
