THE IRON TRADE. -0- The prostrate state of the iron trade has furnished occa- sion for the Mining Journal to give insertion in its columns to some interesting statistics on the subject of the article. It appears that, in the year 1842, the make of pig iron amounted to 1,210,550 tons. The number of furnaces in blast was 339, of those out of blast 190, the total being 529. The produce of the different districts was Forest of Dean, tons 8,000 Derbyshire tons 26 750 South Wales 457,350 Staffordshire, North 21^750 North Wales 19,750 Staffordshire, South 300'000 Yorkshire 42,000 Shropshire 76/200 Northumberland 20,750 Scotland 238 750 In 1829, according to the returns made by Mr. Mushet the number of furnaces in blast was 377, there being an excess over those in the past year of 38, and the make was 1,247,981 tons, the excess over that of 1842 being 37,431 tons. The latter was thus divided Forest of Dean..tons 18,200 Derbyshire tons 34 372 South Wales 453,880 Staffordshire, North 18 200 North Wales. 33,800 Staffordshire, South 346/213 Yorkshire,. 52,416 Shropshire 80849 8 9 Northumberland. 13,300 Scotlan(I lQfi'or.n Going back to the year 1830, it is found that the make was then only 678,417 tons, or little more than half that of the last year and here," says the authority from which we quote, "we arrive at a point of interest, as developing most materially the causes to which may be ascribed the present position of the trade." Refeience is made to Scotland:— In 1830 the make in Scotland was tons 37,500 In 1839 it had increased to 196,960 In 1842 there was a further increase to 238,750 While, at the present time, with a depressed trade, it is taken at 260,000 in the case of Scotland, there is an increase, in twelve years, of no less than 700 per cent., while, at the present moment, pig iron may be bought in the Clyde at less than 40s. per ton. The increased make in Scotland and reduction in price is attributed to the discovery of the discovery of the" black band." and the application of the hot blast;" and these two advantages are considered to have been the cause of the present state of the trade, the existing depression affecting not only the iron master but the collier and furnace-man without, it is contended, a correspondent advantage being derived by the consumer. The great augmentation in the make of iron from 1830 to 1839 is ascribed to the demand which has arisen in conse- quence of its application to a variety of purposes of a novel character, parcularly in the form of castings, and to the demand also for the manufactured article for railways. The increased make in 1840 and decreased demand, owing to the completion of most of the great railways, apart from the general depression in trade towards the close of 1841 induced the iron masters to submit, with few exceptions, to a reduction in price of 20 per cent., calculated on the make of the six months of 1842, and which had the effect of again bringing down the quantity to even less than it was in 1839. The demand for iron for railroad purposes having now become trifling, it is a question of vast importance to the trade how the consumption may be accelerated. A change in the tariff of the United States will, it is hoped, do good, but this is a prospective affair upon which no dependence can be safely placed, and the Mining Journal, quoting from the Globe, notices, as a startling fact, the announcement that the Americans are sending iron ore to this country in face of the low rates at which the native product is selling. The reduction of make" is an expedient that involves a discharge of laboureis, not to be resorted to without great danger of local disturbances, and the very contemplation of such an alternative is painful. But there can be no doubt that the iron masters are losing a great deal of money at the rates now current. THE IRON TRADE.-The population of Merthyr may be stated at 35,000 souls taking Aberdare, Hirwain, and the neighbouring inhabited parts, it may be safely assumed that not less than 10,000 more may be added. Thus we have a condensed mass of 4o,000 people within the compass of what may be estimated as no more than one town, although somewhat partially scattered. Now, the whole of the population of Merthyr and its circumjacent parts is abso- lutely engaged in and dependant upon the great iron works in that town, that is, in Cyfarthfa, Dowlais, Penydarran, Hirwain, Plymouth, Aberdare, &c. The weal or woe, if so revolutions of prices may be characterised, of the iron trade acts and re-acls naturally upon the workpeople, and deter- mines their fate. The special product of the Merthyr iron works (Glamorgan and Monmouth generally as well) is bar iron and bar iron is almost unsaleable at this moment at £ 4. per ton, which five years ago the iron masters were actually unable to supply to crowding orders at £ 9. per ton and even £ 10.; and which, as we are well assured, cannot be produced with the greatest economy of working at less than £ 4. 15s. What is the result ? The Welsh ironmasters wealthy as they are, and far the most wealthy of their class in the kingdom—for their riches and property are reckoned by hundreds of thousands, or millions-have, with con- stantly accumulating and unsaleable stocks, for the two last years, been compelled to notify to the government, that to go on making iron is impossible, for want of means, to say nothing of positive loss to themselves, whilst to stop is ruin to the workpeople. They have stated that, without assis- tance in means, that is, money advances from the govern- ment, the works must be stopped, and the people thrown out of employ, .inasmuch as the ironmasters have more stock on hand already than they are able to hold. Suppos- ing the iron works of Merthyr, with its contiguous and un- divided suburbs of Dowlais, Aberdare, &c., to be stopped, the furnaces to be blown out, what results 1. Why that some 45,000 people, workmen and families inclusive, will be thrown out of bread, and absolutely consigned to starva- tion, parish relief for so many being out of the question. It may be assumed, that a very much larger working popu- lation still exists through the whole of the two counties. This would give, without exaggeration, 100,000 souls with- out bread, supposing the iron works to be stopped, and the furnaces to be blown out, as must be the case shortly, with- out a remarkably favourable change in the commercial affairs. What, in stich a probable, such a forthcoming crisis, do the government propose to do ? — Morning Ad- vertiser.

dForeiflit IntrUigrnre. An attempt at an insurrection has been just made at Saragossa, but without effect. At 2 o'clock on the morning of the 9th about 120 individuals, all belonging to the National Guard, awoke the inhabitants from their slumbers with cries of down with Espartero. In about half an hour, however, the whole city was alarmed, and the drums of the National Guards began beating the assembly. The great majority of the Nationals immediately answered to the summons, and drew up in a compact body in the square, and at once prepared to repulse the attempt at insurrection. The revolted, whose numbers were not much augmented recommenced hostilities, but were soon broken and dispersed by their brethren. A sort of running fight was carried on the streets for some time, but at length those of the National Guard who had turned out to preserve the public tranquility drove the insurgents from every spot of ground they oc- cupied. The contest lasted a few hours. Ten of the re- volted are said to have been killed, and about 40 wounded 20 or 30 were made prisoners, and the remainder contrived to escape from the town. The insurrectionary movements in the provinces were everywhere—except in Catalonia—deemed at an end, and yet you will find the funds fell nearly one-hult' per cent. to- day. A thousand rumours have been set afloat evidently to influence the stock-market. One states, but untruly, that the King is ill; another, equally groundless, that Espartero had fled from Madrid, carrying with him the Queen a third that a cordon of French troops was about to be drawn across the Spanish frontier.

THE Educational Clauses of the Factories Bill have beeo surrendered by Her Majesty's Government. We regret this on many accounts. We regret it as an act of worthy concession to unreasonable clamour—we regre it as a proof of great infirmity of purpose on the part 0 Ministers-but we principally regret it as postponing to some indefinite period that great work of social i pr /111 ment, of which the necessity had been made so glaring apparent. This important portion of the Bill too bas, been surrendered in the face of a large majority of theI House of Commons in its favour, and with an intirIlatIO I that Ministers have no intention of substituting anotbe remedy for evil of which all confess the existence. 130t 11 the fate of the present measure might have been safe predicted when such concessions of principle were to those whom nothing could conciliate but that J could not be conceded—the right to obstruct the Chii1"^ J to propagate error, and to establish a Babel confusion 0 | wild fancies and jarring doctrines. To us it appears tl>* I the original principles of the E ducational Clauses ofr| Factories Bill having been well considered and digeste^ l should have been maintained, and the responsibility n their rejection should have been with the Legislature, aI1 j not with the Government by which the Bill was io^0 duced. It has been thought otlierwise-the Olive Branch" was extended, but was ungraciously refused the Dissenters have triumphed, Ministers have beaten, and the work of Education has been susperide I The responsibility, we think, must be divided bet Ceo I the Dissenters and Her Majesty's Government—the 011 exhibiting, under the pretence of vindicating the rightS: of conscience, the most factious perseverance—and I other, in the hope of establishing an impossible coileor exhibiting an equal share of vacillating weakness sP unsettled intentions. We trust, however, that Minister( will speedily take higher and surer ground—and 1 Christianity is to be acknowledged as the Religion of the Land, the Church of England must be the mode of administration. Let Ministers, and Sir Robert l,ee especially, look to Ireland at the present moment for II example of concession. In granting Catholic Emanclpll tion the trial was made, and what has been the result I We now perceive how we have compromised our sllftY so as to make it almost a question whether harll1 C manifested the liberality or charity of our Protesta11 ) principles by granting Legislatorial power to Papists, 0 true wisdom might not be advantageously displayed 1 rescinding it. To the formidable strength of the PaP movement it were the worst infatuation to close our eye or to contemplate without alarm the efforts which 11;11\ making to carry its ultimate design into execution- their full accomplishment we have not only to behold 4 dismemberment of an Empire, but the subversion of4 Protestant Church—not only the restoration of ^j; testant Lands to their Popish Heirs, but the A struggle that must follow between contending J Need we repeat the stages of agitation preparatory to passing of the Relief Bill. They promised, they j passing of the Relief Bill. They promised, they protestedf I' they swore, that they contemplated nothing but that tJ Emancipation which put everything within their reØ except the Woolsack and the Throne. And what become of these oaths, promises, and protestations CO What peace has accrued to Ireland, what tranquility 0 t, the Empire ? These are questions which every man has the faculty of reason unperverted and unimp^ may answer for himself. With respect to the Factof,^j Bill, we sincerely hope that Ministers will have wisdom and experience, and that the work of Christ Education will not be entrusted to Sectarians—not great end for which such Education was designed, 1' 11 regulation of conduct, be at the mercy of those fd would purchase unity by an abasement of the 8taodllt1 of religious truth. But our confidence in the Go^'eI^ ment is sadly shaken when we hear Sir James J taking leave of the Bill more in the language 0 ^1 waiting gentlewoman" than in that of a vig°r<7 Statesman. Talking of general concord and O_Ope tion as essential to a system of Public Education, does a Conservative contemporary write, If e* 0i ( opponent must be conciliated, if every rambling j Dissent must be won over, 01 if the hope of making I who do not know their own tenets from week to friendly to a system of Public Education be essenti3 jj its first step, we have no hesitation in saying that « never take a second." It is with pain we write f things of a Conservative Government, able and we know it to be—and it has inherent strength firmness, it has a powerful majority in the House, supported by the best wishes of the best men of Country, why then is it unjust to itself and to pectations of the nation. The day of trial is ai>ProaCtj(jl" [ —the threats of demagogues, the clamours of faCftjjK^ I and the cajoleries of pretended friends, must be ta disregarded. So long as its Councils are Bri-ti* j Nation is brave, and will support a firm, honest, ¡\ manly Cabinet to the last.
