IRON TRADE IN WALES.--W. Crawsbay, Esq., in anticipation of an increased demand fcr railway iron, 110 determined on the erection of an extensive steam rail-mill, in addition to the already numerous rolling-mills at the Cyfartha Iron-Works, the cutting of a foundation of which was commenced on Monday morning. It is to consist of a double set of rolls, saws, and shears, and other necessary appendages for the completion, if necessary, of upwards of 2500 tons of finished rails per month, and all to be worked by one steam-engine of very large dimensions oe the long pressure principle. A great number of fresh hands have been employed, and many will be, as MpCrawsbay is anxious that the whole should be ready in months time. This extensiie addition to the work is estimated to cost, at least, £25,000, and will give regular employment, when ready, to about three hundred persons. A new bar-iron rolling-mill, also consisting of two sets of rolls, was started at these works for the first time 00 Friday morning last. This addition will give employment to a great number of fresh hands.—Stvansea Journal.  EXECUTlON.—Notwithstanding the great exertions made to obta'n a commutation of the sentence, the exe' curios of Mary Gallop, for the murder of her father b 9 arsenic, took place at Chester en Saturday. The culprit since her conviction had exhibited the deepest contrition• Her removal from Chester Castle to the place of execen on, in front of the City Gaol, took place at midnight on, Friday. On parting with Mrs. Bennion, the matron 0' the Castle, the culprit was much excited, and expressed her fervent thanks for the kindness she had invariably rec,ived at her hands. After partaking of some coffee 5h5 retired to rest, but her slumbers were short and (1 t.irbed, and, at an early hour on Saturday, she again engaged in devotional exercises with the respected chaplain of the Castle. In the course of the morning Mrs. Haswell (the governor's wife) supplied her with some refreshinen!, when she broke forth into lamentations for her past ini' quitiee, but expressed her conviction that she should soon be in heaven, where, she alleged, her father had goq' At 11 o'clock she received the sacrament of the Lordh Supper, and appeared to engage in the service with muc feeling, continuing her devotions till 12 o'clock, when the executioner made his appearance, and proceeded to pinion, her, an operation to which she submitted with the most perfect docility. She appeared, however, to be inwardly convulsed, and suffered so much from exhaustion of body that it was found necessary to carry her to the ',allows Or/, the chair on which she had been seated. A last" farewell" was then taken of her by the chaplain and M. Rose, and immediately the platform fell, and she soon ceased to live. The culprit would have been twenty-one years O, age next March. She was short of stature, and w:hatinil be termed good-looking. She wore a black stuff dre/' and plaid black and white shawl. It may be remembered, that, some few months previous to the murder of Mr. Gallas his wife was found with her throat cut, when herself an, her unhappy daughter were the only inmates of the bottle; and public opinion prematurely fixed the murder of he mother also on Mary Gallop. The latter, however, 'et throughout, utterly denied having had any particiPstroP in Mrs. Gallop's death.
