price of a chain cable, in England, is foijtr -cents

three cents per pound, which is 75 per centum

amount nearly to one cent more per pound, ma-

that rate and, if it were not for the duty, the
price would be as much less, than now, as the
amount of the duty paid.
Shot. In 1816 the price of all kinds was
$11 50 per cwt., and the duty was 2 cents per
lp., but was raised, in 1824, to 3 cents, and,
in 1828, to 4 cents, and is prohibitory. The
price is now 5 cents for patent, and 6 cents
for duck, per lb. Notwithstanding this great
fall, were it not for the duty, Shot would be
still . cheaper: for we find it quoted, in the
"British and Foreign Price Current," pub ish
ed at London, on the 30th November last, as
follows : . !
Shot, Patent, 1 to 5, per ton, 17
" A. A. A. B4 6 to 12, per ton, 18
Now, taking the average of these two prices,
that is, 17 10, and the pound sterling ajt $4
80, we have 3 cents and a small fraction as
the price of a pound of Shot which, wej-e it
not for our duty, enacted for the purpose of
putting money into the pockets of less a ihan
dozen rich owners of shot-towers, could be
brought to us at a little more than 4 cents per
pound, which is 20 to dO per cent, cheaper than
ganization, The result of the contests in
Worcestershire, Essex, and we may add Corn-;

when properly prepared ; and though the gen
eral result far exceeds our warmest hopes, we
