The Advance in the Price of troll
-The sudden and great advance which has •
recently taken 'place in the price of railroad
iron, is a circunstance of unusual importance
to various interests of this country. In less
than a year the price of railroad iron in
Great Britain=-which 'is the principle seat
of its manufacture and its controlling market
—has advanced from .R 5 or $25 to £lO or
$5O per ton. There is every reason to be
lieve that it will continue to rise, and not stop
short of Xl2 or £l4 per ton. Six years ago
iron went up in much the same way, rising
in a very brief period from .R 5 to £l2 per
ton. This advance then was produced as
it is now, by the projecting and constructing
of a great number of railroads, with the es
sential difference that the mania at that pe
riod was confined chiefly to England, where
as now it is diffused over many countries.
raging most furiously in our own, and ein
lfraeing_a_inuch_vaster.aggregate of proj,•cts.
•=-•-.'rlig-railroads-in-progress which produced
the great advance in iron in 1847, did not
exceed three thousand miles in aggregate
length, though a much larger amount was
projected and afterwards partially abandon
ed. The investment of capital in these
British railroads caused the most disastrous
commercial revulsive experience in Great
Britain. It ruined many hundreds of the
richest merchants, and produced a long•con
tinned prostration of every industrial interest
from which it required years of patient labor
and economy to recover.
From the best information accessible to
the public it appears to be quite certain that
there are now in progress, and in actual
course of construction, in Europe and A mer
ice, at least twenty thousand miles of iron
railroads, besides a vast amount of projected
railrunds not yet begun, w hich we do not take
into account. Of this amount of railroad in
progress, 5000 belong to Europe, and 14,
000 at least to this country, exclusive of
more than 1,000 now constructing in Cana
da.
We have seen a list made out of the
railroads now under way in each State,
which amount in the aggregate to more than
1t3,000 miles, and which list has understa
ted rather than overstated the truth, for in
this State alone it omits 00 - miles of railroad
in actual construction, and has made similar
omissions as to other States. However in
credible the aggregate may appear at first
sight. it is impossible for the most careful
scrutiny to make any deduction from it.
Railroads require at least one hundred tons
of iron fur a single track, and of the roads
in progress in Europe 1,000 will be double
track roads. It follows from this that the
railroad now in the course of construction in
Europe and America, will require for their
completion no less than two millions and
four hundred thousand tons of iron.—
To make this quality will require all the
roiling mills in the world, which are en
gagell in the manufacture of railroad iron at
least sixty years those of Great Britain
furnishing three-fourths, and the United.
States, France and Belgium the remaining
fourth. The best authorities do not estimate
the largest quantity of railroad iron in any
one year even as high as 400,000 tons, yet
even at this rate it will take six years to fur
nish iron for the roads already begun.
The necessary consequence of this state of
„things is, that the price of railroad iron will
not only keep up, -but further advance, and
he maintained at every high price for a
long time. This will make the manufactur
ing business, that can be undertaken in this
country for some years, for it is affirmed on
the best authority, that the article which is
now selling at $7O. with every prospect of
advancing to at least $9O per ton, pays a
fair profit to the maker at $3O per ton.
The advance in iron will nearly double
the cost of many of the railways at the west
and south, for the cost of grading upon some
of them was less per mile than the cost of
the iron, ever before it advanced. The profit
to a few of the companies which have se
cured their iron at low prices will be very
large. The English railroad companies are
now compelled to pay $lO persbon more for
their iron at home, than the price at which
our railroad companies were enable to ob
tain it about a year ago', freight and duties
included.—Railroad
Life of Spring, the Murderer,
Now that Arthur Spring, the late trial of
whom for murder has excited so much in
terest, is convicted, and nothing remains but
to execute the fearful penalty, it will not be
improper and may not be uninteresting to
recite a brief chapter of the last five or six
years . of his life. Spring was an Irishman
born--a confectioner by trade ;he lived for
a number of years and up to 1844—'45, in
the city of Philadelphia, after which he
moved his family to this city and commenc
ed the business of a refrectory and liquor
. saloon in a basement two or three doors from
. the old Park T heatre . Within three months
after,he had opened this 1e place" in Park
Row, he was arrested by. the police on a
charge of having, in' connection with anoth
• er person,(still residing in New York,) en
ticed a sailor (the mate, we think,) of a ves
sel, into Ina cellar at a late hour of -night,
knocked hint down with a heavy club of
wood, (wounding him nearly to death, and
robbed him of $OOO in gold coin. The evi
dence against Spring, was not conclusive of
guilt, but was sufficient to bind him in the
sum of $lOOO, to appear and answer the
charge. He procured bail and was released
from the Tombs.
Spring's family lived in some rooms in
the rear of his place of business. and soon
after this charge against him his wife died
in child-birth, (as it is said. but otherwise,
as it was suspected) leaving three small
children, the eldest a son—the present wit.
ness on the trial for murder—.and two in
fant girls.. In less than a month after the
first charge, and within a few days after the
death of his wife, Spring was again appre
hended on a charge of having stolen, at
night, in,his cellar (and almost in the aurae
mapper the mate was robbed) $2OO and over,
from.an emigrant lately arrived in this city..
A -part of the money was found concealed
under,tke steps of theetoop leading into hie
rear yard-, The Oficaao was Mew) upon him
almost beyond doubt. Shortly „after his
arrest he confessed his guilt to Justice (then
Clerk) Stuart, admiting also the prepetration
of the other robbery—how it was done—
who was concerned with him in the felony
—in what manner they divided the money
and where he had concealed the most of his
share, (which on searching proved true) de
claring moat solemnly that he had committed
the second offence for the sole purpose of
getting a sufficient amount of money to re
imburse the party first robbed, (his partner
in the crime refusing to surrender back any
portion of his share) so that the seaman
might, as he had promised, leave the city
and not appear against him at the trial, and
he be thereby preserved from the State pris
on, and saved to the care and protection of
his children. Spring pleaded guilty to this
second offence, and was sentenced for six
years to a felon's doom, at hard labor at
Sing Sing—leaving his destitute and worse
- th- --children - friend less and-without
iari - orphnn
protection. Mr. Stuart had them fn
the kind charge of Mrs. Foster, matron ot
of the City Prison, where they remained for
a number of weeks, and were finally re
moved to the Alms house.
Some 6 or 10 months after, it was learned
that the wife of Spring had some relations,
and among them an aunt, owner of some
property at or near Washington. On writing
to her, Stuart received an answer, that if the
children could be sent on to Washington,
proper charge would be taken of them by
their mother's relatives. A small amount
of money was raised, a trusty person em
ployed, and these poor children—young A r
th r, with two small sisters—were forward
ed to their friends and kindred. Five years
passed, when one morning, in the early part
of December last A rthur, a bright, intelligent
lad, who had passed to the age of sixteen or
seventeen years, presented himself to Jus
tice Stuart, (who was at once reminded of
the unhappy history of his father and family,)
stating that he was living an apprentice tort
confectioner in Washington—that his sisters
were both alive, and with their friends—
that he had alone come on to New York, to
see if by some means he could not get his
father pardoned the remaining year of his
sentence from the State prison—that he
would have made the effort sooner, but was
without money to pay his passage from
Washington, and had only then become en
abled by a long and continuous saving of all
the small means he could husband. The
magistrate, moved by the noble object of the
boy, (who declared that nothing s would
make him so happy its to be able to take his
father home with him to his little ''sisters,)
and upon his own knowledge of the whole
affair, wrote an earnest letter to Governor.
Hunt, with which the lad proceeded to Al
bany. It is almost needless to say, that with
man like Governor Elunt the brave and
generous conduct and earnest, artless plead
ing of this manly and devoted stranger boy,
for the pardon of a parent so long confined
in the dungeon of the State prison did not
fail of its object. The freed father and
thankful child, with heart swollen with emo
tions of gratitude, and bounding' with hope
in the joyful anticipation of restoring , a lost
parent to the little sisters he so much loved
with no delay left New York by the way
of Philadelphia, kir the city of Washington.
The rest is known. And this is the son
on whom the father now seeks to fix the
offence of a most diabolicial murder, of which
he alone is, beyond doubt, the prepetrator,
and most righteously convicted.
Death of Marshal Hama.
The Franklin brings intelligence of the
death, at Vienna, on the 14th of March, of
Barron Haynau, the notorious. Austrian com
mander in Hungary during the recent war.
Haynau was born in 1780, at Cassel, and is
said to have been a natural son of the Duke
of Hesse \ Cassel, by a goldsmith's daughter;
He was bio ‘ uglit up a soldier, but was not
distisgnished; during the greater part of his_
life, for anything except his eccentricities,
which at times amounted to an appearance
of insanity. In the revolutionary disturbance
of 1848, he was considered a fit instrument
for the execution of the coersive designs of
Austria, and his first service, at the storming
of Brescia, was so satisfactory that he was
appointed, in May, 1840, to command the
forces then acting against the Hungarians.
—His military movements were successful.
and his victory at Temeswar, followed by
the surrender of Gorgey, led to the termin
ation of the war. His subsequent cruelties
to the Hungarians, and his barbarous treat
ment of helpless women, are matters of recent
history that it would be painful t 6 rehearse
now. They have made his name execrated
wherever freedom is known ; they were
the cause of his ignominious expulsion from
England, and they can never be so far. for
gotten as to entitle hint to h decent position
in honest history. Since his removal from
the command in Hungary, he has been a
despised and unhappy man, and ho must
have anticipated death as a happy release
from the approaches of his own conscience
and the scorn of the human race.
DEATH OF THE OLDEST INHABITANT:
The decease of the "oldest woman in the
world" Mary Benton, the well-known
.old woman of Elton' — too k: place last week.
There seems tube some dispute as to the
precise age of this wonderful woman. On
he coffin plate it was stated to be 117, but
it is generally supposed 'that this is consid
erably beneath the fact.—A correspondent
states that if she had survived until the 18th
Febuary next she would have attained the
unprecedented age of 122 years. Her form,
as might-be expected, was very much bent,
but her conversation was face and lively,
and her eye, though dimmed retained much
of its former lustre, and she was able , to dis
pense with the assistanse of spectacles to the
last. This Interesting,personage was a na
tive of Oockfield in Durham, and resided
for sniiie time at Long Newton previous to
her cmoing to her daughter's house at glton.
