IRON MANIIPACTIMES ABROAD. • • Their Present Position is Regard to the, American - .Market, and soma Useful Data in -the Im provement of Machinery, Jim. • communication appears iu the,last num ber Of the Franklin Institute Journal, from L Damsel, Esq., of Soutli Wales, which affords an interesting and comprehen sive view of the present state of Iron Manu factures in that region, and . elsewhere. Notwithstanding the lOw prices of pig iron l in Scotland, a majority- of tbe s malleable iron works there liave failed to prove remunerat ing to their proprietors ;—hence Mr. D. states hi.s conviction that the Welch manufacturer never had any cause for apprehending the destruction of his manufacture by the Scotch malleable iron manufacturer; nor does he be lieve that, any one acquainted with the pres- , eat condition pf the Scotch works would en tertain such•an idea. The facility of manu facturing iron from black-band is so gTeat, that, while it'exists, the Scotch iron-master will keep possession of the American-pig, iron market, to the exclusion of all other foreign ers but in the article of bar iron, there is, yet much to be done before he can . successfully compete with the Welch ma.nufaCturer in any _foreign market. The exhaustion of the celebrated black band, (from which nearly all of the . Scoteh pig is made,) proceeds at a rapid rate, andiin " :a few years will be complete, when the manu facturer: will have:to fall back on his clay band ()fa losv produce.. or on the richer but more expensive ores of Lancashire or Cum herland: Now the cost of manufacturing pig iron from eitherof these Ores - will exceed the cost of, inanufacturin,g it' fromblack and by fifteen shillings per`ton; therefore with st„,., - . existing rates of labor and Profit, the selling price-would be sixty-five shillings per ton, ivhich is quite as high as the present selliOb price of Welch pigs of mixed qualities:= But in 'addition to this increase of cost consequent on. the use of clay band,.tbere will be an im mense reductiOn in the make of the blast fur . ages. for it is well know-n in Scotland that a furnace Werking on clay band cannot make above two-thirds the quantity which it could 'make if working on black band. Hence, with a diminished supply of band, either, the make of pig iron will be reduced, - or the existing number of . s furnaces and blowing eng,ines 'ust be largely increased to enable the Scotch manufacturers to - produce a . similar quantity of iron from, the clay band iron 'stone. The advantages which' the - Welch jinn - coasters have over the Pennsylvania . mann facterers, are untjuestionably very great, and are eves day becoming, more striking; fur independently of the cheaper rate:at whiclid i . . they obtain' their rate materials, (coal, iron stone, and litnestoA,) the largcsize . ci their 1 , establishments .and the cheapness of labor, ' , :ft, - .igcti_et- - with - tire clock-like • regularity with ! Which they are contracted, evidently conduce! i - .1,0 reduce the cost of maaufacturing. It is 1 . principally, however, by means of the itn- 1 proveinents which . have been effected in the I manufacture at the Welch work that their I, proprietors are now enabled to tinderlithel - American manufacturer at his own market, 1 , and not, as many persons ere apt to imagine, t from the, mere circurr.stance of their obtain- f ing ; their feel . at n cheaper rate: , - i The blas, t' furnaces now building,' says 1 , Mr. D., are very different intheir construe tiOu and working arrangements . from those. which' formerly existed. - By g more juin "rims 'application of the blast, thos make of 'the fnmaCe is largely increased with a di minished consumption of coal, and a ,great lv reduced expenditure for labbr, repairs,.., &c. ,One furnace lately repaired and altered,; now produces the - Very large quantity or ; •.: fr:Oin two hundred and twenty to two hun-- 11red and fifty tong of forge iron weekly, with - -a cons.umptioa of only twenty-four cwts. of :, Intuminous coal to a ton of iron. And .-in . consequence of the more general use of starm. ; in lieu of horses, the charge for _remising/ the cinders, a serious Charge at several large I ' wur i li, bas been largely reduced: . - With the improved refinery, now very ex - : fea , ivelyadopted, the quathity of coal neces . , sAry for refining, a ton of iron has been redu • c_Fid from Widen to seven cs - Vts., and the waste ' of iron during the process from eleven to trio ewts- ; - while on the other hand the rnakehas ,Iti:ert increased from ninety to one. hundred -anti tifty tons per week, thus accomplishing , very important reductions on the former ctt.• •of -refining the pig iron. The Operation of , .; eon verting-the refit:mil metal into puddle bars, is one that bas undergon e ve ~, req i t • _ „ rymprve-, `Anent, as 'far a c regards the waste ; of nittal and consumption of coal, buCiri other res r. -`.

' ,The improv 'merits which have taker' place . id the 'rail d partment are remarkable for their boldness , lid ingenuity, one; of themost . stiiking is the large quantity of 'rails which a well arrange and well conducted ra il- m in tt. I can now make weekly. ' A few years since, ?66 tons a wee -‘' was considered a greatmake., ' —1:14 - 3R7 it IS 40? and 500 tons;and even MOO ! tons have been ma . de in a large and very pow.: erful rolling min recently erected near Mer-: thviTydvit The operations of piling, heat-, iug, and rollinii the rail bars are now, cori-:, Anct&l On an itnitroVed system, by which tbe, , loss which for , M erly ;occurred from defective. ;ails is 'reduced to a ilii111111U113; and in* 61a.: !timing steam for, manna power in thefin- LSltlna procesms of Sawmg;iling, straight ilie charge for these is reduced to one halt, and in some instanceso, one third, of what was formerly paid. The merchant bOr, slitting. and guide mills, havealso par ticiNted in the general advancement. Bars and rods are now rolled of lengths Varying from forty to sixty feet, being afterwards cut to the required dimensions, by which Mains the quantity of crops produced, the amount of labor employed, the consumption ofthal in the heating, furnaces, and the lime occupied ' itt rolling a given quantity of bars; are all largely reduced. .Whilst these reductions have been effected in the more imPortant de partments, the inferior ones have not been nei , ',lected. Fire bricks of a superior-quality are now manaGactured in immense quantities at a very trifling cost, and the foundries, ithnachine and other shops, are gene t-ally adapted to tz - ing f _relvairing, or alter ing engines and -.machinery of the heaviest Class in tlie .shor!test time andin the most - economical manner. 01 00 Ili 83 00 5 48 8 00 3 00 - By these and other improvements ind re ductions, the large Welch manufacturers are how enabled to manufacture a ton of rails Or other bars from the ore with a consumption of only four tons of semi-bituminous coal, and with' a•-djminution in the quantity of labor, charges-for, stores, expenses of repairs, 3c. of from !flirty to fifty per cent. on what was formerlylirequired. - How f-- ayshys _Mr. D.—these improve ments and reductions are aOplicable to exist ing Ametican works, I am - not ;in a position p to say, so large a proportion of them having l' . heen but 'reeenily erected : presuming, how ;erer, that they are g,enerally so, it will not be ',difficult to ascertain the amount which the •manufacturers can afford to give for the car riage of their iron to market; intl the coal 'consumed_ in its manufacture. The present .cost—he continues—ot manufacturing, rail way bars in this district, ( including transit to the nearest shippin_ twenty-three anites f:bm the works,) is_about eighty-five shillings per ton. The expense of coals to manufacture a ton of bars from the ore, (four wins at, five shillings per ton) amounts to twenty shillita,7 \ width deducted" frotii the _above, leaves stxty-five shillings' per ton _for ~the cost of -the' 'ores - , and all oilier expenses incurred in the different processes of the man ufacture. _ Estimating the pres.ent sellin,g price of rail lt 'why bars of avenge quality in New York and 'Philadelphia, at forty-five dollars per ton, And deducting seventy-eight shillings, •or ,nineteen dollars and a half, for the cost of Ore, labor, and all other expenses incurred by , the American manufacturer, at rates twenty 'per cent. higher than those paid by his Welch . :competitor, there remains t wentyA ve dollars and a half to cover tlie cost of coal - and any ;other extra expense of bringing the iron,to Junket. If the four tons of coal required in :the manufacture, and the additional carriage ‘‘>f the iron above the twenty-three miles, cost twentY-five &liars and a half per ton, there can be no profit, but if they cost less, then the difference will exhibit the profit per ton which would 'accrue to the proprietors. 31. r. D.lhinks that, if our works were con ducted on the " Welch system," at a mode rate calculation' the works manufacturing bars through all the difTereht stages from the ranr ore, ought to make net returns of ten dollars per ton of rail, or other large bars, i made when the selling price is forty-five dol -1 ' lars But this "calculation . " doubtless sup poses all the . raw materials close at hand, tcruh. atm -ow.- tual difference between the cost of labor by 4.heAN,Teleh system and our own, and takes its value without regard to its position or I, facility of transi 4 t to market ! The iron companies - whose operations are ° ; limited to the Conversion of pig into bar iron, at works on the sea board, undoubtedly labor under a greater disadvantage in the higher price of their coal, and it is but too certain that with iron at present rates, a large pro portion of tlierasannot pay. In conclusion, (and it ,eoust be understood that the foregoing embraces but a brief out line of his letter) Mr. Damsel say,s, " that although the iron manufacture of the United States is now in a most depressed condition, by'reason of the large importations of foreign . iron, [under the peculiar operation of our rev enue laws.] yet the time is not far .distant when the mineral Jegions of Pennsylvania and the Western States will produce aaabun dance of iron, which, for quality or,cheap ness, will-be far preferable to any imported, and When .Aincricong Trill be not only indc-_ pendent of foreigners for their supply of iron. but they will be cYporiing it in tlsc role and manl;factured' slate parti.of the globe!"

Dr. Sturgeon, Chairman Of the Committee ! on Agriculture la the United States Senate, -bas reported a bill to establish a Bureau of ! - Agriculture, to be attached to the Patent Affice, or some other branch of the Home Department. The Leicofocos generally, . . op posed' this measure when; they found that General Taylor, himself,n practical Farmer, had recommended it in his annual meSsage, and the Washington Union was, for some time, excealin.gly fierce in its - denunciation of the project. The liiizon has heretofore evinced r much concern for the interests of the Fanner, and it svas principally for his beue fit that the present revenue laws were fram ed, so that he might secure a safe and sub- ! stautial market for his products in Europe Ye was. to receive Large prices Ibr his varied products —flour was to be worth at least S 7 per barrel, and other breadstuffs . in propor licit I But is it so Is the, market any •hetter now—ii: it as good as it was before the present Tariff beiraw to operate ? No. All this pretended regard for the Farmer, when incomes to a practical test, amounts to juit _nothing at all=it is mere stuff. And when a Measure of the nature of this Bureau is suggested, Which is entirely and exclu sively for the benefit of the Farmer: it is de nounced without mercy or reason -L . the secret nfotive being that they are opposed to spread ing intelligence mutate , the people', and giving to the honest agriculturalist the itatistics . of varied interests; the analysis of his soils; the peculiarities and variations of ,climates, temperatures and seasons the principles of olrainage, of manuring, andiotation amps; `—besitits a thousand other items that can alone be collated and dis.seninated under the auspices of an official statnp. The eost of maintaining an Agricultural Bureau, we4, , hed in the scale of its unques tioned-importance, would be perfectly insig nificant. While millions upon millions are expended annually' by the goierarnent to support ere Army and Navy, not one cent ! has ever been appropriated to cultivate tke , arts of peacc—'4l3 improve the,soil and the mind." To give greater efficiency to the proposed Bureau, and to enlarge its field for practical wilily. a farm ought to be connected with it. The large amount of seeds, flowers, ! rare plants, and implemenas--characteristies of other countries and climates-that ate sent home by our consuls, and - other officers in foreign.countries. should be pmv . ided for un der-direction of a competent person. And for this purpose no place more :callable prac tically,—nor more appropriate under all con siderations of propriety and interest—could be selected titan Mount Vernon. .This pre cious and hallowed spot, situated about four ! teen miles froth Washington, isnow ! falling into ruin. The gentleman who lives there, (the nearest of kin now living of Gen. Washington) is literally overran With vizi ter's, and he is desirous of selling what re mains of it to the Government. Several very liberal offers have been made for the premises by enterprizing Yankee speculators --but they will be sold to uo other tarty than the United States. , A Western Tiro lnan.—A correspondent of a Detroit paper _dcribes a westeni 'wo man, whose feats of industry will doubtless be marded as fabuleinS by many of our deli elte and do-nothing ei9 , ktdies.

Above all, she is only about thirty-five years of age, very modest and unaesnining, and has no idea that she has .accomplished any thing more than any industriou,s woman may, with or dinary diligence rod good health. How, in the world, can thei husband' of such a wife ° need to go to California in search of wealth?

Large Feel.—Som'e folks think that large feet are ungenteel l , but they are convenient.

On the other hand, large feet areinconvent ent on account of the expense of shoe leather and stocking yarit. It also takes longer to wash large feet than small.

Prof. Rodgers, who hai recently delivered a course of lectui;es before the Smithsonian Institute, at Waskington, stated that the Mis sissippi drains an area of 300,000 square iniles ; and the t'o!al amount of water dig charged per annum,, in cubic feet, is 8,092,- 118,940,000. Tlie amount of s&litnentary matter in the Misiissippi water is estimated at about one twelqe hundredth part, by meas ure. of the whole:volume discharged per an num; and since 4he alluvial deposits in the' delta are estimated to have a mean depth of 50 feet, and to hive been wholly deposited by the Mississippi arid its triburaries, the least possible time upon these hypothesis, requir ed for the depositihn of the delta, would be 13,848 years! Tlie water :discharged, in the same time, would - fill a sea 850 mites square, and one mile deepg rt_r.

The coal of that vicinity is of the semi-bitu ,. =nous or transition species ) 'between the 1 very hard anthracite and the fat.bituminous.., 1 combining the firmness and cmnpactness.of the anthracite with the inflammability of the bitumicious. This,gives it peculiar fit-' nessfq,aiittestic use -as well_as for mann free from faults and very easy .of access.— The road will be speedily, urged on to corii pletion: and, when this coal is introduced into market, will probably be one of the most productive in the State. Town lots in Tye-, vorton are sought for with eagerness, and it ° bids fair to increase with the rapidity of Minersville and the various other towns in the ) Schuylkill basin. (r7The Editorial Excursion.—The editor of the Norristown Register talks eloquently on this subject. Hear him : "rnr 01lr, we go for Pottsville —We want none of . your antiquated Germantowns—tiat Frankfords—dry lirbdols, and sand-etivelo(wil, mosquito bitten Bever lys. Our sniee Is—not fir war—but for the glorious', mountain heights of Schuylkillrmtnty, Where the soul , imbibes the glory of nature, and - the vtiirits rise and sweltunderthellithienee of msj estie scenery and lolly' inspirations The heatt most be dead indeed , which does not quicken under indigences like these—which, does not inhale nets'lrig . or with the mountain breezes' taste new joys in the srandiur and beau). which Prositioned ha: Watered every winle around. i The editor of .the Reading Vaectte desi ions that Reading should come in for a share' of the honors of tliis visit, and points with satisfaction to the Mansion , House. Well,' the Mansion is--we know it to be--one of the: most admirable Hotels in the interior of the State;'' or elsewhere: But what are our. friends going to do there, to kill time—that's' Vie question ? Can you get Up a "hop." or waltz, upon the spur of the moment? if so.. that is just the thing—for after. the "boys'". leave the mountains here,_they-will'be in such . Itio.h.gletythut - aliiiltz with the spirited Diitch girls of Reading . would be the ne plus: ultra of pleasure. Qom' Binders and Pcdlars.—By a 'recent act of the Lislature, Hawkers and Pedlars of any article of merchandise, are prohibited' from making sales in the county of Schuyl kill, whether they hare a licence or not, iln•_ .der severe penalties. Persons offending' against this act, can be arrested at the in stance of any citizen, and must be corn-. mitted, in default of ,bail, to undergo a trial before Court, whcri!, if found guilty, the penalty cannot •be less than fifty dollars,, or each offence;.W,e_ca,4l-timaxtenttort, of the putlic "6: this tet t thavits - feature's may be understood; and carried out. Explosion and Loss of Lifc.—The boiler attached to the Breaker Engine et the Colliery establishment Of John Tucker,Esg., Silver Creek, exploded on Thursday morn; ing last, killing two persons instantly, one Shortie, and wounding several others. The miter person kilted, had. only commenced work at the Colliery that morning, and we have been unable to learn his name, or the names of those wounded-:-Which appears, however, to be slight. This is the first et plosion of the kind that has ever occurred in this Region. \and may be accounted for from the fact . .that the boiler was old and leaky, and, at the time of the accident, had nearly exhausted • the necessary- supply of water. . n" The Union Canal.--It is stated that the enlargement of this work. long content* plated, will be proceeded with 'at once, bi tween Pinegrove and the Pennsylvania Cann! at Middletown,—the necmary funds having been 'provided. The work will be enlarged in time for the next year's business. It will accommodate a large increase of the ship ments of coal front Piurrove, now restricted within the ; .present eanacities of the Canal: The Coal Trade of the Susquehanna is annually receiving large . augmentations; and is destined still to receive ,them, as well from the natural fertility of 'the valley, as the large amount of iron-stone deposited on the banks of the river, affording singularly splendid facilities for all sorts of manulae= tures on a large scale.

It' states that Mi. E. D. Stiles, an industrious citiiip of liatnbirg, has been for some tinie eiigagOd in the search for metals, upon Mr !
