A writer in the Ipswich Journal, who signs himself M.
A. and wishes to pass for a gentleman, attacks the editor of the Sujiblk Chronicle for copying an article from the Spectator, on the Orange plot ; which article he calls " slanderous," and an extract from the " weekly pollutions of the Spectator." It is not worth our while to take any notice of this stuff; and there is the less occasion for
i
referring to t at any length, because the editor of the Suffolk Chronicle has made " a clean finish" of his and our assailant in his last paper, proving him to be a perfect ignoramus, as foolish as he is abusive. It gives us pleasure to find so many of our respectable provincial contempo- raries taking up this Orange plot, and awakening public attention to the suspected designs of the conspirators against the succession of the Princess Victoria.

A further advance of 10s. per ton in the price of bar iron took place on the 30th of September, both in Wales and in Staffordshire. This, in addition to the advance on the 10th of that month, makes the price of iron the same as before the late temporary depression ; and such is the general briskness of trade, that there is every reason to believe the present price will be fully maintained.
