Now to prevent the steam coming in contact with
the water, each globe is provided with is strong

Manufactory of Mr. lien. Jennings in this Boro'.
Like inost of the:vehicles-made at this establish
ment, if is remarkable for shength and beauty of
fetish: . .?The Company does a good business, and the
Wagon,,we presume, is but an incidental of
of their prosperity..
Two brick double-bouses have lately been erect
ed at tie upper end of-4,lahantongo street, above
the Baptist church. They look well, and, with
the green terraces in -front, present quite an invi.

'well as convenience or e residence! It Can always
be bad dirt cheap," and we wonder - that nay one
should neglect it, where there - is' an opportunity , to
use it.
The new Foundry and Ma -bins. atiop, of "S.

Theft. establishment is divided into three several '
departments—fhe'Fouudry, Machine and Pattern
,chops. The, lira; is a stone building measuring 65
ft. by 45 ft. Hest a number of men are constantly
ets,;ageil, and the castings of various kinds of ma
chinery are made' aily. The Machine and I'at
tern shops are in the first and second stories, res
pectively, of an adjOining building, 70 ft. by 40 It.
The latter it neither the .least interesting nor the
least expensive department of such 'an establish
ment. In it the most skillful workmen atesni
ployd and every part of the woric - mquiresi e
most exact care and partl•ct finish. Here, ;
t ,
e
the dniughts • for various kinds of machin ry,
such as engines, coal breakers, &sc., Ike., are
made, and the plans 'for the patterns and subse
quent castings properly arranged. • The most tern-
Arultstis Care, exact measurements and nice work
manship are indispensable about a Machine shop.
1 In the last Imentiouell department, the separate
parts of a gachine are brought together> properly
finished and fitted into one structure, and, if of •
' character that will admit it, tested before being
.sent out for actual we. ThiE general description,
of course, applies to . all other similar establish-
Meats. Adjoining the Machine shop of the Mes
srs. WREN, is their Strilthery, where they have all
fires constantly idoperatiem. The prune Motive'
power of the whole establishment, is an 8 to 10
horse power Engme,stronglyand hainhomely built,

riety of Other OrpEses. A turnout trent the Rail
road aiis+ers the- double convenience of bringing

It will he r ecollected that the Messrs. WIEN
made the greater portion of the machinery • for the
new Rolling Mill at the upper end of our Borough,
and the fact of Its working well , speaks greatly in
favor of their skill as Machinists:. .

Ma: BartNarr—Port Carbon must not be
despised-or rionsidered destitute of scenery. We
have not scren hilts, like Rome, tint our Borough
'comprises hill, and ,dale, and meandering streams..
(fertile subjects for poetry.) There, for insanee.
(oat. Rock bill,.atiout one hundred and fifty loot
above the level of the sea—of houses. It is of a
conical shape, atld on its extreme peak there is a
stone orserne two ions weight. which.will detythe
moat, learned 'tuniipary to tell 'when or how it got
there.
Our town lies in clusters, like grapes. and the
siwe ' es between are, at the pre^ient writing, charm
ingly verdant:. All Lair prospects have their alloy,
and we are not exempt. The most eligible part of
the town is owned by wealthy men, who draw im
mense revitures fromitteir lands in this Ceunty, and
con sequentl y. are indifferent to the prosperity of this
place. They either 'do not wish to sell town kits,
or as: touch •exerbitant . prices for them that no one
will buy. Wis to be regretted that they do.not look
at the Matter in its proper lightand thus sutler us to
resume our proper place in relation to:the town oi .
this ogion, which wouldbe second to none. Now
Ave have no pulling dowa and building new houses
for ornament or profit: like you have to POksville,
although we have some houses so old and dilapida

built` before columbus discoveraOxacrica.

*bore jai and the price current reported their
goods as in good demand at stiff prices. On Wed
nesday night, hoe/aver, we were visited by •a ter
rific tbutidw storm and gale, which cooled the at
mosphere to !iamb i an extent that overcoats and bla.
sing Anthracite are anything buyninor• Nessings.
Prom every quarter we hear of the destructive
character of the storm, particularly on the western

waters.
Again we have to chronicle another tearful sac
rifice of human life. The ship, REUBEN CARVER,
has just arrived, having on ,board the Captain and
portion of the crew ;of' the WILLIAtt a: MARY,
which vessel left Liverpool for New Orleans, la
den with Railroad iron and over 200 emigrant pas
teasers. In passing the Rilitmas she struck on
what is termed the " StirneW Keys," a sunken
reef end went, down with over 170 hur tl es being,
men, women and children crowded'uenn.her decks
in frightful term., imploring that assistance which
their God slope could send.
In our own city, a budding in' Wall street fell at
midday, burying in its ruins the workmen employ
ed epee it. When shall we cscairs hourly peril
for life and limb, and when will our City authori ,
ties look after these mantraps which infest our
daily walks, and cease ko strive svhd can get his
arm, the deepest into the public treasury.

COAL AND IRONSTONE.
Note oaths Mode ol Working did Coal and lion
stone of South Staffordshire. B3i Warrington W.
. Smyth, M. A., Mining Geologist tis the Geolugi
cid Survey. Published by order of the Lords
Cconmissioners of Her Majesty'l Treasury, 1653
• d! brief sketch of the modes iif working the
bedi of coal and ironstone in South Strafford
shire is given, with a view of ecording gen
lAi
ertilly the practical methods, opted at the
present time, for the extractio of thoie rich
stores of mineral wealth of which the geo
logical relations have btlan described in the
preceding pages.
- , The acknowledged requisite for the most
advantageous method of working, viz., the
combination of the cheapest Mode of extrac
ting the, greatest possible quantity of mineral,
with the safety and comfort of the men, has
in this district been greatly modifiettby the
circumstances of position and an adherence
to long established customs. In a few rare
instances only have any attemptivbeen made
to substitute a new' system for the old rout
ine, and to such it will be needful to Advert
after we have viewed the principal feat
ures of the practice almost universally fol
lowed.
Its the first place, the division of the ground
into separate works is guide 4 by the fatilts
which, m so many_instances, constitute nat
ural boundaries, and by the depth from the
surface of the deposits propd to be work
ed ; .and an observer, conversant with' dis
tricts of coal where extensive Unbroken areas
are worked at great depths by few shafts,
cannot tail to be struck with fhe appearance
of the South Staffordshire field, dotted over
as it is with innumerable shafts, and defortn
ed by the large waste heaps of slate and
slack, which so frequently surround them:
The cause of this, lying in the subdivision
into small 'areas,- the comparative shallow
ness of the workings, and conaticive no doubt
to simplicity in all-the internal! arrangements,
affords such facilities for secu r ing the desid•
rata above , alluded to, that iopust be a mat- .
r of surprise to find that cerlaiti ancient in
complete usages should so \ long have held
their ground.
` The shafts by which access, to the coal add
ironstone measures is to be obtained, are
sunk two together, at a disnince of 6 or 8
d
yards assunder, and with adiameter of 6 or
8 feet. Each shalt being intended for a sin
gle rope 'or " band," is surmounted by a
head-frame carrying' one bread pulley of cast
iron, and. the whimsey engine is so placed as
to be able to serve ttto shafts at once. raising
a loaded. " skip" in the one/ and lowering_
an empty one in the other, a-the same time.
The difficulties of sinking, asl
regards watery
strata, being inconsiderable,,except in some
few 'sasesi the ingenious and expensive ap
plication of Wooden or,iron fubbing. practi
sed so fr equently in the Belgian, and in our
northern coal fields, is almost! unknown; and
the shafts are lined with brick work, unless
when they pass through ' stiata sufficiently
strong -to stand permanentlY without sup
port. The area of theshafts is free from any
obstructtop, no " guides" being employed to
'regulate the passage of the "skips" or Insoles
upon which the coal is piled In large masses,
surrounded by loose " - rings't• of sheet, iron.
andifrona which less than might be expected
falls'off during the ascent. I Ponderous flat
chains of three links, alternately short and
long, .with slips of wood inserted through
the long links, are most frequently used for
the drawing,, l and for shafts of moderate depth
are very effective and safe. .
Taken apart from minor diitails. the modes
of working the mines are two in number.
the first applied to the important ,beds called
the "thick coal," and the I" pew, mine;
and the second, termed." long work," (not
like the former, peculiar to the district;) em
ployed in thiother coal seams of froth two
to five feet in thickness, and 'n the ironstone
measures. .
The workings of the ten-yard-coal are di
vided into compartments termed sides of
work, ivhich are separated from one another
by "ribs," or walls ofcoal, from 8 to 10 yards
thick, and of which no more are kept open
at once than can be maintained in activity.
From the main roads, termed gale - roads,
each side of work, unless' commenced near
the outer boundary, is accessible only thro' a
1 narrow opening cut. like ttie gate road it
self, in the lowerpart of the seam. "Stalls"
are then driven out in the coal, each of them ,
B,or 10 yards wide, and are Crossed again by
similar galleries, leaving between them pil
lars of 8 or 10 yards square,. but 'varied of
course in dimension, according to local dr
cumstanees. For additional seetnity dung
the working, small pillars I of 3 or 41 yards
sqeare at the base, termed Own of ussr, are
sparred out of the solid coal; wherever it is I
deemed necessary ; to be rapidly prostrate d
add carried off, when the still is-fully open
ed. Ba t t the driving of the Stalls themselves
is a work involving no little waste of coal
I and insecurity to the colliers ; the mass of
coal of 8 yards wide having to be undercut,
or hided about a couple of rills in, a large
amount of coal is cut up Leto slack by the
" pike" or Collier's pieli, mad the men are
exposed to continual risk from falls of coal.
As the various portions of the seam are suc
cessively "cut" at the side Of the stall, and
broughtl down, the collier* have tovount
on heaps of slack or light Wooden stages.
and are ;necessarily exposed to still greater
danger. . .
There is, in fact, perhapsiscarcely any sit
uation more suggestive of I feeling
i ol awe.
than a side'of work In thel" thick seam" -
when a' large fall of coal s - brought down
from the dusky heights of 'that lofty cham
ber: the thunder of the falling masses which ,
seem to shake the solid earth and fill 'the air
with a thick cloud of dust, contrasting fear
fully with 'the dead silence which• ensues,
and, which the hardy collier, scarce break.by
a whisper, whilst in ouspense they listen for
'the slightest crack which hnight portend a
farther fall.
When a compartment bas i thosbeencleared
and the large'pillars sometimes a little thin
ned, the " Clack" or small coal and dust is
left in heaps, and to guard against the spon
taneous combustion. apt tol ensue from the
decomposition of small putieletrof pyrites,
a dam is placed in the " bolt hole," and this
portion cut off from all'comMunication with
the rest of the workings.
t l g ,,
The second mode of get , by what is
called long-work, need not' be described at
length, being very similar to that pmeticed
in Shropshire. Derbyshire,l acid other dis
tricts ; it ft, al elsewhere, variable as ordiog
to the conditions of the roof ice,' the road
ways being !sometimes. driyen out through
the "whelecoal."which is then worked back
towards the shafts. in other eases the roads
being maintained '
through the " goli" or
h
waste from which the coal s been removed,
es the extraction proceeds from the shafts to-
wards the limits of the Seidl
Very important, however in an caleconomi
point of view, both to tbe lord of the soil,,
and to the lessee, as well toI the interests of
humanity„ is the success which has attended
the efforts of certain coal owners to, get the
ten-yard coal on the princildetiot "longwork,"
as exemplyfied in the pits ofhlessrs. Foster.
of Mr. Gionc; and at COnsgreaves: We
have seen thar-by the tusual method what
with the.ribs and pillars leg untouched and
the quantity of content up into slack, a vast
amount of the useful fuel—of what info; in
a very few years nraft becothe of mulch high.
er value, is utterly lost to the nation. .
It is not too much to assert. that from 00 e*
third td one-half of the coal is, thus left use
-less, (same little only of the ribs-and pillars
being asterw*rds recoverable in a damaged
condition.) an amount'of sqtumdered natural
advantages almost without parallel. - '
By. the common plan .ft is; considered that
16,000 tons of Coal obtained ftom an acre of
ground represents a very fair produce, and no
doubt a v much lower numberis often ob
tained. .'At Footer's _th e coal worked

IRO AND ITS MANIFOLD. usEs.i
Perhaps the,soperiority of the preent awe
over all that haye gone 'before it, as .respix(,
the power and, comfort derived from the m 4.
elm* arts, •is' nowheie more conspicuoui •
than in our manufactures of iron. %he an
cients had little iron, and knew very little ~ f
the ap of working it. Among the thouminb
of metallic articles found in Pompeii, none,
we believe, wire of iron. Everything is cop
per or bronze, even to surgical Instruments.
The old Roman infantry fought with copper
swords. ' • - I. •
But the present is emphatically the age of
iron, and there appears no limit to the uses
to which this king of metals may be: applied
for the service of man. Our attention has'
