WOOD PAPER. Opening et the Illanagrunk Pulp Werke AN INTERESTING OCCASION. Yesterday afternoon the operation of changing the wood of the poplar tree into pulp suitable for printing paper, by a new process, was witnessed at the Manayunk Wood 'Pulp Works by a large number of gentlemen representing the newspaper and publishing interests, and literature of Phi ladelphia, New York, Boston, Baltimore and - Washington. The party was conveyed in carriages to the works. Among the number we observed Hon. Morton 'McMichael, Mayor of the city; Hon. Alexander H. Rice, Ex-. Mayor of Bos ton', and, one of the Representatives of that .city in Congress; Hon. Thomas A. Jenokes, 31. C., from Rhode Island, and President of the American Wood Paper Company; Bay ard Taylor, Esq„'Wm. M. Swain, Esq., Thomas McElrath, Esq., formerly pub lisher of the New York.

York; Mr. Arm strong, of Scribner & Co., New 'York; Mr. Hurd, (Willard & Houghton, New York: Mr. Yoraton,of Virtue,Yorston & Co., New York; A. D. F. Randolph, New York; Henry C. Carey,Esq., George H. Boker, sq. J. G. Fell, D. Dougherty, Esq. , ~ Hart, Esq., and representatives from all the leading paper dealers, newspaper, book publishing and printing . establishments in • .Philadelphia and its vicinity, making, in all, a company of nearly two hundred per sons. The operation of pulp-making was witnessed with great interest, as its import ance deserved, inasmuch as its success must increase the supply and lower the price of paper used for printing purposes. The Manayunk Wood Pulp Works, erected by the American Wood Paper Com pany, are situated in the sand common be tween the Schuylkill river and the canal at Manayunk, in the Twenty-first ward. They have just been completed, and, as connected with the Flat Rock Paper Mills of Mr. Martin Nixon, are over one thousand five hundred feet long, and cover altogether an area of ten acres. The daily productive capacity of the Wood Pulp Works is about thirty thousand pounds of pulp, while the straw pulp produced by the Flat Rock mills averages daily from seven to eight thousand pounds. These works will in crease the daily production of printing paper about thirteen thousand pounds, lessening to that extent the consumption of rags, thus diminishing the price of both. The present process for pulping wood was begun about the year 1850, by Mr. Hugh Burgess. Various improvements have at different times been made in the apparatus, until perfection may almost be said to be attained. The chief part of the process is a secret, but some idea of its won derful nature can be given by a brief de scription. The wood which is to be made into pulp is taken into the chopping house, a building 82 by 124 feet, containing two choppers, capable of cutting each over 30 cords of wood every twenty-four hours. The wood is re duced in these choppersto little chips,which are received in cars and conveyed by an ele vator to the boilers, ten in number, situate in a building 75 by 132 feet. These boilers can turn out 30,000 pounds of pulp (dried) in twenty-four hours. Here the chips are boiled in alkali for five or six;hoursanitil the fibres are separated, when the mass, mixed with chemicals, is blown into vats below. The chemicals held in solution are then drawn from the pulp by water, and the pulp is afterwards taken out and bleached in the usual manner. When bleached it is put into a vat in the drying house, when, being diluted with water, it assumes the consistence of weak milk. From this vat it is conveyed through a pipe to a sort of tank, from which it is made to run over a revolving cylinder, and the water being duawn oft; the pulp adheres to one side of thb cylinder, from which it runs on a blanket to other cylinders, until it be comes dry enough to maintain consistency. It passes over thirteen cylinders before it is sufficiently dry to be cut into sheets. The sheets intended fbr book-making are sent to the mills at Wilmington, while those for newspaper are taken to the Flat Rock mill adjoining where they are mixed with straw material, in the proportion of 80 per cent. of wood to 20 of straw, to give the requisite der -•t•ree of softness and tenacity. It will be no ticed that in the production of pulp no me chanical action is used, chemical means Only being employed. In all these vast buildings nothing but the smoke that goes out from the chimneys is wasted. The liquid which runs off from the pulp is "recovered" in the round house, building two hundred feet in diameter. Here are twelve furnaces, from which a blast is carried over the surface of the liquor, flowing in boilers below, which deprives it of its ligneous and other adulterations. The residue, with a due mixture of soda ash, is again brought into requisition -in the tanks. Whatever effete matter may remain after these processes is employed for ma nure. Adjoining the round house are an alkali storehouse and a mixing-house, and killns for the manufacture of marble lime required in the alkali department. At the north end is a settling pond to furnish clear water for the works. It is 300 feet square, 10 feet deep, and has a capacity of 5,500,000 gallons. All the mills are worked by water and steam power. This great establishment has invested in it over a million of dollars. Its consump tion of wood may be inferred from the fact that its stock of that material on hand at this time is about 15,000 cords. It employs comparatively, few hands, most of the labor being done by machinery. The reader will perhaps have a bettdr un derstanding of this great advance in the manufacture of printing paper by this sim ple statement, that through the ingenuity of the inventors of the process, and by the - aid of knives, boilers, chemicals, cylinders and machinery, all driven by steam, and located in a vast pile of buildings, covering many acres of ground, heavy logs of poplar wood are thrown into the troughs, at one end of the system of machinery, and come out at the other end in the form of paper. While the company was on the ground at the mills, a collation was served up, and the company seemed to enjoy it. A. Climntay ant. The "exe o rcismpes" e of t r he ß day q —ueand they were such, in the most literal sense of the term—were closed last evening by a grand complimentary banquet at the Continental, to the guests of the company, by Messrs. Jessup 136 Moore and Martin Nixon,the less ees of the works. The occasion, in point of brilliancy, has not been. exceeded by any . similar event. The banquet was spread _.in one of the urge dining halls of Me building, of which the tables occupied the en tire available space. They were spread with exquisite decorations, including pyramids of hot-house flowers, whil e the frnita ap.d vegetables of the con servatory, frdhi pineapples to cucumbers, told of the liberality aid taste of the enter tainers.: Mr. Doyle, of the Continental whose special province it is to prepare these studied banquets. did himself more than credit. As was very justly remarked by an eastern member of Congress present, and (11 his first visit to Philadelphia, "This beats Boston, -, badly;" an alliteration that was acquiesced in by all within earshot of the remark. Mayor McMichael presided, supported by A.D. jessup, Esq.,Hon.Thomas A. Jeneke,s, Martin Nixon, Esq., Honey C. Carey, Esq. and other prominent gentlemen. In the early part of the evening the chairman was kept absent for an hour, to relieve the anxi eties of a young couple in the same hovse, whowere bent upon matrimony, and would have none other than our worthy Mayor to perform the marriage ceremony. Mayor McMichael, when the cloth was drawn, made a few opening remarks. He claimed to be, as he is, the senior news paper publisher in Philadelphia, and in this improvement he felt that a very great stride towards perfection had been made; and he felt that to the gentlemen of this company very great thanks were due for the estab lishment of a great enterprise and a great improvement in the art of making paper. The Mayor, on behalf of Messrs. Jessup and Moore and Nixon, welcomed most heartily the company present, and pro posed the health of those gentlemen, which was drunk with all the honors and with hearty plaudits. In answer to a call, Horatio G. Jones. Esq. responded on behalf of the entertainers. Mr, Jones is a connoisseur in paper, and has made a study of the history of its manu facture. He exhibited a little book written on paper made by William Rittenhouse in 1690 in Roxborough, Pa. the first mill in ri Ameca. From him Mr: Nixon, now pre sent, and interested in the first great pulp works that America has ever known, was a lineal descendant. It was an honor :o Rox borough, that it had given to the United States the first paper mill in America; and the descendants of the gentleman who founded that enterprise are those who are now engaged in converting poplar trees into paper. [Applause.] Mr. McKean of the Ledger, being called upon for a sentiment; toasted the American Wood Paper Company, coupling it with a wish that they might expand in everything except the price of paper. The laugh came in on the word "price." Mr. Jenckes, President of the Company, being called on, spoke briefly and to the point. The company had entered upon the undertaking as a matter of business. They claimed no merit. They had ascertained that material for paper existed in the cheap est of all the earth's productions—wood. It was the business of the company to convert this wood into paper. From the log to the sheet of paper the thing is done by regular process. The discovery is really of value to the world. It has cheapened the price of paper, and will confer a benefit upon the entire community. The Chair next offered "The Press of New York." Theodore Tilton, of the New York Inde pendent ,responded. He said that though ne had been called upon as a representative of the press of New York, he thanked God he lived in Brooklyn. St. Paul had said thst he was a citizen of no mean city. He was a citizen of a very mean city. He had been in Washington for the last month, a city so mean, just now, that the man in the moon held his nose as he passed over it. [Applause.] He had a specimen of paper in his pocket, however, that was better than even the paper made at Manay link. It was the paper upon which the Civil Rights bill was printed. It was second only in value to the paper upon which the Declaration of Independence was printed. [Vociferous cheers.] And great equally in value world be the littlebits of paper withwhich all men alike, whether white or black, should go to the ballot-box. [Applause.] Mr. Tilton continued in a most eloquent strain to refer to the advantages which a cheap and free press were to confer on our country. He referred to the past rebellion in the peculiar work which it had accom plished, not in bringing down kings and aristocracies from high places to a level with the masses, but in enabling us to reach dtiwn to an oppressed and degraded race and lift them up to a higher and nobler leveL There was an old sarcasm about elevating a man by putting a sheet of paper under him, but it was a grand truth that in no way could we so certainly elevate human nature as by putting under him that sheet of paper, instinct with human thought and - with eter nal truth. [Mr. Tilton was frequently in terrupted miring his impassioned speech with tumultuous applause.] The health of Erastus Brooks, Esq., of the New York Express, was next proposed by the Chair, as a prominent member of the New York press. Mr. Brooks said that he thanked God that again we were a united country. The rebellion was dead and buried, and the history of the United States can never again produce its counterpart. Mr. Brooks's speeech was very neatly con ceived and delivered in excellent style.and taste. It was heartily applauded. He of fered as a toast the memory of Henry Clay, which was drank in silence. After the toast had been drunk,the old Philadelphia enthu siasm for "gallant Harry Clay" broke out into a round of tremendous cheers. The health of Hon. Alexander Rice, of Boston, was next given, and was responded to by that gentleman in his usual happy style. He proclaimed his strong adherence to the system of protection to American indus try, and depicted the future of our country in glowing terms. Mr. Rice was listened to with great interest, during his eloquent remarks. The chair then introduced George H. Boker, Esq., who read Benjamin Franklin's well known poem on Paper. He was fol lowed by a capital off-hand characteristic speech, by Daniel Dougherty, Esq., which was greeted with ,peals of laughter. Short speeches were also made by Henry C.Carey, Esq., Hon. Mr. Kasson of lowa, J. J. Stewart, Esq., of the Baltimore American, Beales, Jr., Esq., of the Boston Pose, W. J. A. Fuller, Esq., of New York, who toasted Messrs. Burgess dr, Been, the inven tors of the Wood Pulp process, Mr. Sinclair, of the New York Tribune Mr. Wells, of the EvErinkra Bunnzmor, Mr. Caleb S. Tobey, and others. The whole occasion was one of unmixed gratification to all concerned. The liberal spirit of the gentlemen, to whom the com pany was indebted for this most delightful day will long be remembered and most highly appreciated. The arrangements for the comfort and entertainment of their guests were all carried out upon the most princely scale, and won for them the warm est encomiums both of the numerous repre sentatives of other cities and those who have long since learned to recognize in them some of the best specimens of an enlight ened public spirit which Philadelphia can produce.

The trade is flow ing. Stores that have desirable stooks of goods are busy, and the indications are that the recent protracted calm in business circles will be succeeded by a wholesome storm. We have never witnessed a more animated:business scene than was presented yesterday at the splendid new store of Messrs. Edwin Hall dr. Co., No. 28 South Second street. Their immense lines of rich, choice and fashionable fabrics, lay in gay profusion along their counters, which were thronged' with fair customers, embracing the cream of Philadelphia society. The fine new improvements recently made by this firm has struck a responsive cord, and few ladies now seem willing to select dress goods especially without first visiting this popular house. We observe among their novelties a number of elegant styles of goods confined exclusively in this country to Messrs. Hall & Co.'s sales. Cana) DESERTION.-' , ,k colored woman named Fanny Purnell, who was admitted into the Almshouse about two weeks ago, was arrested yesterdayr, upon the charge of having cruelly deserted her infant, which was found upon an open lot at Tenth and Callowhill streets, a few nights since. The infant was taken to the Almshouse. One of the colored nurses recognized the child as belonging to the accased. Fanny was held to answer.- FIRE.—The alarm of fire last night about half-past 9 o'clock, was caused by the par tial destruction of the slaughter-house of Mr. David James, at the corner of Second and Moore streets. The fire originated in the second story of the building, which was used for the storage of hay, about half a ton of which was consumed. The roof of the building , was also considerably damaged. Loss about $3OO. SERIOUSLY BURNED.—A child named Su sannah Simmern, aged five years, residing at No. 2134 Touro street, Nineteenth Ward, MIS severely burned about the body and arms yesterday, by her clothes taking fire while playing in the street. BOOMS ON CHESTNUT STREET are offered to be let, from May until October, as will be seen by an advertisement in to-day's paper. THE ERA. OF SENSATIONS.—This - is truly the period of excitement, financial, political and social, including murders, fires and the like. Talking of fires reminds us that no fire burns so clear and bright as one made with the splendid coal gold cheaper than the cheapest by W. W. Alter, No. &T.' North Ninth street, and at his branch office at Sixth and curing Garden streets. ROCEHILL & WILSON. DEFY THE WORLD TO PRODrCE MORE PIA - GANT CLTHING FOR ----- GM - CTLEM - F..N. • YOUTHS.
