printing but salary besides as large the united
salaries Of alpair Of Cabinet ministers.
We do not mention these things by way Of boas-

storm roared the most fercely around US, we stood
serenely at the helmn without one thought OF
giving up the ship. And surely now when the

The Transcript claims FOR Boston on Iron market
second to none in the country. Immense cargos
ofpig, bar, sheet and bolt iron, arrived almost daily
from Great Britain Sweden, Russia, &C, besides the
large quantities of domestic iron from coastwise ports.
The ship building interest requires great supplies.
In Massachusetts, and Maine are built fire izthS of
the going vessels annually constructed, and each
ship of one thousand tons requires about forty tons
OF iron. The importation of chain cables and anch-
at Boston exceeds that of any other port in the
Union. Enormous quantities Of cut nails and spikes
sold 10 that city, and at least seven hundred
thousand casks manufactured annually in the
State The sale Of pig and sheet iron, lead, copper
&c, is also represented as being very heavy in
Boston, the expectation of these metals being more
extensive there than from any other port in the Uni
ted States. From Boston, the Transcript informs US,

parts Of the country; large quantities sent to
manufacturing towns in Connecticut, the great seats

consumers, particularly for sheathing ships as
sells in active business require suit Of copper
