Alluding to the breaking up of Congress', the

The Iron. Trade.
,tT)heTiltsburg American of the 6th inst, says
theieceipts of pig-metal are very light, the whole
amount of forge iron coming out of the Clarion,
and' designed for market falling short of 1500 tons,
andihatTrom the Allegheny, Red Bank, and Ma
honingj about 2,100 tons, making 3,600 tons of
coll iron in all for the market. The amount of
fotindary iron from Clarion is under, 500 tons, a
bout;one half of which has been sunk on the way-,
which .will probably prevent, its reaching market
this y;ear. The. jeceipts from Clarion and the Al
legheny, consigned to partners in rolling mills is
about 1700 tons, making the aggregate of receipts
5,800 tons. But two boat loads of the cold iron
intended for market has been sunk, which deduct-,
ed froruthe 3600 tons leaves 3400 in offer. Of
this amount 720 tons have been sold, leaving in
market' but 2670 tons of cold iron, and 250 tons of
foundry .v This is little jnore than a three weeks
supply Jbr the mills, even at their reduced work,
with npsprospect of. further receipts, and the whole
winter before them. jQn tbe other hand there is a
partial supply .in the. mill yards, with unusually
heavy stocks of iron and nails, and a limited a
mount of orders coming1-in.

(Lf Geo Thompson," the distinguished British
Abolition lecturer, lately 'arrived' at Boston, was to
be honored on Friday by a grand public 'reception
.atraneuil Hall. The meeting being organized
and the spedking commenced, a large number of
persons present opposed to the object of the meet
ing commenced a series of noises of various kinds,
which prevented the proceedings, and finally
broke, up the assemblage without, however, do
ling personal violence to any one. .
JBIectioit of Jndge.
The Schuylkill Haven Map suggests that since
the Judges and Prosecuting Attorneys have been
rendered elective in this State, it would be well
that they be chosen at a separate time from the u
sual elections for other officers and proposes the
coming spring or, summer for the holding of such
an election. We think the suggestion a good one.
The object is to prevent the political excitement
incident to an ordinary election, from exerting
an injudicious influence in the, selection ;of Judges.
The office is among the most important in the gift
of the people, and they should endeavor.to lay a
side their party and sectional prejudices, as far as
possible, for the still higher duty of exercising a
proper discretion in the choice of a good Judge,
with qualifications better and more substantial
thWhis connexion merely with any particular par
ty. The perlect distinction, between the Liegjsia-
tiye and Judicial system is a ground work of pur
national Constitution. The Attorneys have al
ready been chosen to the present, term.biit, the
Legislature at the, next session will be required to
appoint, the time for the election of Judges. The
present agitation of the subject will 3erve to draw
forth an expression of the people's wishes "previ
ous to a final decision. Miners1 Journal.
mutilated Bank Notes.
There are in circulation notes upon a number
of banks; which although not counterfeits, have
not the full value which they bea,r on tHeir face.
The attention of the public has long since been
called to the fraud by our city banks, and for a
time these mutilated notes were in a great meas
ure withdrawn from circulation. They are now,"
however, again becoming quite plenty., By means
of a. fraud of which a portion of the public is not
cognizant, practiced individuals find it easy to
make six notes out of five by cutting a portion of
one of them and adding'it to another from which
t
a larger portion has already been taken. By con
tinning this process through a series of five notes,
and adroitly joining the several parts so as almost
to defy detection, material is obtained for six good
looking notes which appear genuine, and bear all.
the ordinary emblems, dates, numbers, names, &c,
The fraud can easily be discovered by obtaining
the length of the genuine notes, the mutilated notes'
being-about one-eighth shorter, and moreover the
numbers at the extremities of the mutUated notes
do not correspond. --Daily News.

A Good old Age. The1 York (Pa.) Gazette,
mentioned the death a 'few' days ago, of a'colbred
man, in that county, named Jacob Kill, in the one

a period which witnessed the conversion of a
howling wilderness into one of earth's mightiest
nations and altogether the most eventful 110

This Bull has created an intense fealing through
out England, and it is -believed in many quarters
that the Cabinet Council has been called together
earlier than usual, in order to act in the Way best
calculated to stop-farther proceedings. At Rome
the feeling is equally intense, since, the wily Cor-,
dinals have put forward a report, that Lord Mfnto
has consented to the terms of the Bull and that the
English government has placed Westminister Ab

The lLate Strike among the Tailors i

Some three months since a blow-bp took place'
in this city among the knights the of needle in re
gard to wages. The various articles published here
in regard to that emeule were, published in Eng
land. When the London tailors heard the prices'
of labor demanded and received by the tailors
here, it caused: a furore among them, and thou
sands decided to emigrate fo New York. A meet
ing 'was iheid, arfd the extraordinary truth was elici
ted that there were over 5000 'tailors .but tif employ
in London, a large portion of whom, were wholly
or partially pensioners of the different; Tailor As
sociations. . i
After various plans had been considered f6r"the
relief of the trade, it ,now appears that the Socie
ties find it more economical to aid the tailors in
paying their passage to New York than in paying
board and lodging through a .long, winter. The
consequence is, that some .hundreds of tailors are:
to be shipped to New York , and Philadelphia,
where it-is thought the journeymen can better -af-ford

' OR- THE VICTIM OF COMPROMISES.
Abdul the ninth name on the Recorder's list,
yesterday morning was that of Bill Bunier, and
so ljule did Bill feel interested in his namo
that it had to be repealed audibly three limes,
before he vouchsafed to inform the Court that
he was its owner.
Recorder. rBunter who are jrou 1
Bunter. Well, L aim much, your Honor, no
how you can fix it. 1 think you may call me
the Compromise Bill, for 1 have been the ric
tim of 'compromises through my Wte. My very
birth, I used to hear my mother say, was a
matter of compromise between Death and the
Doctor rDeath finally consented to let me live,
intimating pretty broadly, however, that I'd
never be no account.
.Recorder. .Yes, and the watchman informs
me that you endeavored to bring the spirit of j
compromise inio play when you were arrested
last night ; you told him thai if he would lei
you off, you would treat. This, of itself,. Mr.
Bunter, Is an offence for which you deserve to
be punisued it is an attempt to corrupt the
stream of justice at its source.
Bunter.-- It may have been sir, but I did not
view it in that light. The watchman talked
of the majesty of the law : I dwelt on the; lib
erties of the citizen, and I certainly did think
that both could be harmonized over a brandy
toddy.
Recorder. But you found the watchman
was , not to be tampered with that he would
nut forpgo his duty.
Bunter. I did. your Honor, and it was just
as 1 thought it would be. From my ' earliest
youth up, as 1 ffave already told your Honor, 1
have been a Compromiser, and 1 never remem
ber an instance in which 1 had not the worst
of the bargain. I compromised with my
schoolmasterly agreeing to assist-him in teach
ing ihe juvenile class ; he, on his part, agree
ing not to ask me to learn my Greek or Latin.
My sweetheart jilted me after making, the most
fevent protestations of undying love, and mar
ried a miserable d !, who had nothing to rec
ommend him but a taste for music and, a mous
tache 1 was fool enough to compromise the
matter with her, because she invited me to
stand spousor for ihe firm child. If the ghost
of' my defunct tailor could burst the cerements
of the t6mb, he would whisper in my ear Com
promise f Compromise I Compromise ! ! And

Professor Johnston, in ihe course of lectures
delivered by him a short time since before the
New Yotk State Agricultural Society, among
many valuable facts worih ihe attention of agri
culturists, stated that the Tobacco was a icrop
which contained much mineral matter. Sup
pose, says Prof. J., an acre to yield 800 lbs ;
these 800 lbs., will contain about 160 lbs, of
mineral matter, which is carried off by. the crop,
and in this way the land will soon be exhaust
ed. In four years, 600 lbs. of mineral matter
would be carried off from an acre of tobacco
land. It is ihe duty of the farmer io supply the
mineral matter,, thus specialy exhausted, ,if he
sviihes to sustain the soil.
