Pull MaA Gasette:-"The revival of business in
America is already beginning to tell on the demand
for goods from this country and it is stated that
orders are coming to England for iron manufac-
lures, the American manufacturers, with their
heavy protective tariff, being unable to supply the
rapidly increasing demand. 1t is well to recognize

The news from Lyons is getting rather serious,
and reminds one of what happened in Paris when
the Empire fell. In 1870. however the victims were
gendarmes. who we're thrown into the Seine, while
nowadays the Lyons mob want to throw Jesuits into
the Rhone. General Farre, who was recently ap-
pointed to the command OF the Lyons district has
been placed in awkward position by being called
upon by the populace to show himself and to listen
to the ''Marseaise." The General is q great friend
of Al. Gambetta, and it evidently supposed that,
owing his position to political influence. he would
be only too glad to come out on his balcony and

ton is already well nigh completed, and 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 taels will suffice to finish it. A
diagram with illustrations of the invention has been
presented to the memoralists for their inspection.
should the steamer invented by the officer in ques-

adopt it. We therefore. command Shen Pao-chen
to devise means for providing the 5000 taels

There is a slight demand for linen goods from the
North of Ireland. A considerable order for rails

order is also stated to have been given for iron rails
from South Wales a day two since at e. %. Cd

to produce substantial effect In
dustries. The reason why the American orders
for iron rails and not for steel ones is curious
and requires little explanation. As steal rails
are quoted slightly below the price for
the last American order for iron rails and besides
greatly more durable. II might have been natu-
