Decline in Western Polk

The Louisvi lie Courier says the pork market
of that city is excessively dull and that 500 bbls
of mess were offered on the 10th inst M $40. Ii
also notes sale Of 200 bbls. at $40 per bib. ON
months credit, and shipment of ., 100 bbls. To
New York. The Courier further says:
The stock of pork and hacon in this market,on
The lst of July, as asoemaned by actual count
was l96s7 bbls. pork. and 1886 pieces of ba-
con- The stock ofpork in New York at the last
accounts ll4,UO0 hbls., and the price of
mess in that city ON the 18th, was 81 IS. This
is rather duh prospect for pork spectators, nnd
must have an influence ON tno prices of the next
hog crop,and theimpression is prevalent that pri
ces will be much lower next season ihan they
are this. The stock of pork in this market is
not very large, when il is taken into eonsidera-
tioa that more hogs were killed and acked around
Louisville the past season than at any other
point, and more than ever was packed before
anywhere.
The recent depression in mess pork in New
York having been too rap |, there has been re-
eoyery of about dollar per barrel within a day
or two.

RAILROADS IN GREAT BRIrAIN-We publish
elsewhere the annual report of the British Rail
way Department of the Board of Trade, which
contains synoptical view OF the business g..
Of the British railways during the year 1853.
From this we gather that the railway mania is
again awakening in England, $40 miles of new
railways having been sanctioned during the
year 1853. AT the close Of that year, 1856
miles Of railway were opened in the United
Kingdom; Of which 5,8i8 miles were in Eng
land, 995 in Scotland, and s43 in Ireland. In
the ten years previous, no less than $3.50 miles
Of railway had been constructed, an average of
565 miles year. The total amount of capital
invested in theae railways is about 81, $50 OOo,-
600, on which the gross receipts in 1853 were
Ss5,O00,000, rather more than six per cent.
The total number of passengers conveyed in
1853 was lo2 $50, an increase Of upwards of
thirteen millions on the year before. Out of
this number sos were killed and 449 injured
proportion We believe considerably less than
the mortality ON our own railways. 1t is
greater, however, than the. mortality In Great
Britain in 1852; and much greater than that on
railways in France and On the Continent. The
report contains mass of statistical informa-
ton, which win be OF service to our railway
managers.
