Notices of New Books. Early Life of President Lincoln. — A. Boston publishing Arm has just issued a handsome illustra ted volume, written by. William M. Thayer, entitled, « The Pioneer Boy, and how he became President.” It is intended for young fo/ks, but may be read with pleasure and instruction by their seniors. Mr. Thayer, we are assured, has simply put together, irt biographical form, the facts of Mr. Lincoln’s early life, commencing with hiß first going to school at the age of seven, and concluding with his election to the Legislature of Illinois and his being oalled to the bar. The,facts in this re cord have been collected from various , personal and other reliable sources, and are well put’ together. They show how a poor lad, almost self-educated, and greatly self-reliant, through povertyand privation to the Ohief^ Mafe’stracy of this vast empire.'. This is a ; lesson to -M*. Thayer puts it before hiq ■readers in a very attractive manner. As the book -'will find readers in abundance among the rising generation, its style should have been carefully at tendedto. Such a, phrase (p. 63) as "He could read ' some when he left school” is at once vulgar and un grammatical, and it surprises us to find Mr. Thayer, "Who can write well, employing such slip-slop lan guage, reminding one of the “ says he” and “says «he” of vulgarish parlance, as “ Says another ; of i\im,” and “Says one who waß a’companion with him.” These occur pp. 164 and 308. In a book des tined to have a great circulation among young peo ple, such slips aB these ought not have been per mitted. Received from Lippincott & 00. Eastern Tales.—James CJhallen & Son have published a email volume of stories, which is adver tised ae equal to » The Arabian Nights.” Of course, this is a mere flourish, for no Oriental tales are equal .to the delightful fictions which the charmingS.Ul tanaof happy memory related to her bister and her., husband in the half hour before daybreak, on a thousand-and-one successive occasions. The new Eastern tales before,us aTe very readable, albeit not quite Oriental. The story of Jupiter and Orion is mythological; another tale has its scene in Ger many; a third opens on the* summit of ,the Andes, carries its hero to the moon, and finally drops him into the Pacific. T,hc best tales here are those of The Fool and the Doctor, the 'Wonderful Wand, ■Lowender, the Romantic, and Amoy, the Boaster. This last is very good indeed. . . Stories for Children.—To the American Sun day-School Union, 1122 Chestnut street, must be conceded the merit of publishing, every now and then, capital books for young people. They are well written, well printed, nicely illustrated, hand somely bound, and low-priced. The latest issue is “The Children of Blackberry Hollow Series,” con sisting of six stories, eachmaking a separate little book, and illustrating some principle of religion. These really are stories, not sermons in disguise, and precisely what will amuse as well as instruct young folks. We hope to meet them in the hands, and in the hearts, of many of our juvenile friends. : Tax-Pater’s Manual.— D. Appleton & Oo.) New York, have published in octavo, (pp. 14$ and 36,) the Tax-Payer’s Manual, containing the direct and excise Tax-Bills of 1862 and 1863, with the re cent decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Re venue, copious marginal references, and two analy tical indexes, showing all the many items of taxa tion, the mode ot assessment and payment, and the duties of the officers created by the new laws. This Is the fullest, clearest, and best arranged of all the publications purposing to show what the new and general taxation is. The decisions on the Excise Law will be found particularly useful. Received from W.P. Hazard. " Lulu, a Novel.— Carleton, the New York pub lisher, has brought out a new novel, by Mansfield T. "Walworth,entitled “Lulu; a TaleoftheNation al Hotel Poisoning.” The'fact is that, in the spring of 1867, on the eve of Mr. Buchanan’s assuming of fice, as President, a number of residents in the Na tional Hotel, Washington, were suddenly prostrated fcy a mysterious illness, the cause of which remains unascertained to this hour. Mr. Walworth does not show any very refined taste in making a novel out Of such an affliction. He sketches Washington life With a pencil well charged with bold color, but there 5s little in his story, as a story, to interest the read er. The concluding chapters are the best. Mr. Wal worth’s besetting sin is the frequent introduction of had punß, after the manner of Artemus Ward, into his dialogue and into his narrative. Mrs. Gaskell’s New Novel.— We are inclined to think that “ Sylvia’s Lovers,” Mrs. Gaskell’B last novel, is also her best. There was evident ability in her preceding stories, particularly “ Mary Barton” and li Ruth,” but there is a better plot, With simpler interest, in the tale of Sylvia, with her two lovers. Thiß is a tale of humble life. The highest rank in it is that of a country shopkeeper. But the Interest is entirely human, and the incidents arise naturally out of each other. We warn the leader that, the characters ail talking in the broad Northumberland or Yorkshire dialect, it is not easy, at first, to read what they say. That, however, was objected to in the Waverley Novels, at first, where the men and women spoke their own broad. Scotch. The North-country dialect, however, is racy and quaint, as will be Been from an advertisement of the Comic Tyneside Almanac, published at Newcastle. We take it from the Coleraine Chronicle, an Irish paper of considerable talent: “ "ITS A COREOR, GEORDEY !” Crater’s Comic Tyxeside Almixack, a Lym-ia- Hoispittel or llefugo for fost-class Destitute Wife, Hits, Skits, Defunct Puns, an’ effect Tit-bits, for tli’ ’ear 1863, is cram’d full wi’ sec a bonny lot o’ droH, queer gam eu’yuff nw’s shm-e te m’yok ouny an’ ivvorjr sneck drawn boddy actwiily kink wi’ laffin till they blair: jn’yed up, put doon, clagg’d tegithor, and put oot i’ th’' Northumberland lingo, egzackley, hoq wor “Canny Newcassel” ioaks tawk; ’sides bein’ lustraited wi’ awl sorts an’sizes ivth’ drollest, queerest, an’ ootlaudishest cuts: iwory bit on’t d’ynn spiff an’ stashin, be J.

It was originally pub lished in the London Journal. We read it, as it ap peared, in the New Yot'k Sunday Mercury , and it kept our attention awake, from week to week, though it is neither well written, nor has a shadow of probability. The scene is in England, the time that when James I. reigned, and the incidents are connected with the Gunpowder Plot. It is published by Dick & Fitz gerald, New York, and is sold here by T. B. Peter son. The Florida Exiles.— A. new edition of this took, written by Joshua E. Giddings, has just been published. It records an episode in our national history, in which the United States pursued the Maroons who had fled to Florida, then belonging to s3pain, and relates the circumstances of the war Which eventuated in the purchase of Florida and the final settlement of the exiles in Mexico. These events were the results of what is called the Semi nole War-r-but really was a contest for the main tenance of slavery. Forrest. £For The Press. 3 Pride of the Grecian art!

WIND, NNE NE NE.I'W.. .W In and Out the Concert-Saloons.— The word concert-saloon is not always applied with that perspicuity which should distinguish the use •of epithets. Were the word drinking-saloon, it might convey to some of the more innocent a juster and more precise idea. He who, in innocent igno rance, has never enjoyed the double benefit of con cert and saloon; who has never been intoxicated (bo ,to speak) with the influenoe of legs and the action of liquor; who has never drank.in at the epmo breath (as it were) the melody of song and a mixture of sangaree— such an one may hope, how ever, by a moderate amount of observation, to de-. duoe a fair understanding of what these places are like. He may put together the words “concert” and “ saloon.”. He knows the legitimate meaning of each. From every visible accompaniment he de duces’the degen£raoy of their present application. He intuitively feels that suoh persons and such placeß are no lit associations for the pure and honest heartelQ. This city owns a number of this sort of public amusements. The principal of them are, of course, along the principal streetß. Those whose claims to talent and respectability are self-oonfesaedly weak est, and which are adapted to the scum, rather than the scurf of the city, seek secluded and less central paths. Ho good man couldpossibly make the round of these more than once with the expectation of en joyment; not once with the realization of it; never without the sacrifice of some self-esteem. ‘ Not tfcpjj in such establishments it is an invariable ru* e that vile thoughts, and words, arid deeds.&rfe made the order of the “entertainment.” In the least disre putable some songs are popular, and not indecent. But the principle of the management generally is to pander to the want of principle. Among the au ditory is one class, which suggests commiseration; if not sympathy and charity, if not respeot. The ado lescentiac who line the galleries furnish very indi gestible food for reflection. They like dancing and singing, or. something, which goes with them for that. They eDjoy especially a song with plenty of chorus, and a fandango with plenty of legß. Some of the candidates for public patronage have reputations as small as their own waists, and cha racters lower than their own low-necked dresses,' The gallery-gods always insist on one or more en cores. This is given mainly in the shape of whistles, the instrumentation of the teeth and fingers being used.. These gallery-gods, likewise, have generally light heads and heavy heelß. For the accommoda tion of the latter it iB advisable that particular atten • tiori Bhould be devoted to the durability of the gallery-floors. The amount of wind manufactured in whistling, and the imminent danger of extinguish ing thereby the flickering gas-jets, may perhaps ac count for the very economical apportionment of light among the galleries, and, indeed, everywhere but on the stage. But gas is said to be a beautifier, and perhaps there it is most needed. If there were merit in the performances—if a single one of the fine arts contributed an iota to sustain them—the man ; of taste might plead this little in their favor. As a rule, however, there is no merit. Some of the dancing is just acceptable; one or two of the songs are tolerable—that is all. The studied grossneas of word and look and gesture is intolerable. The Continental Theatre, Walnut street, above Eighth, is one of these places. In point of size, it may be considered as holding a first-class" position. In point of profanity and filthiness, it is not second rate. At this establishment every possible.variety of entertainment is promised. If some of this va riety of entertainment were fmpossible, the mutual exposure of moral degradation by both actor and audience would also be impossible. Ballet and bur lesque, pantomime, extravaganza, negro minstrelsy, etc., may be so presented to a public as to be placed beyond-the pale of censure. They may evince a true principle of art, in caricature, perhaps, but free at least from impurity. But any entertainment which ' is made a covert for profanity, and a substitute for filth, is to be unequivocally condemned. The Continental Theatre furnishes an entertainment which partakes of this nature. Some of the songs are so framed as to compress in a certain quantity of doggrel space the maximum of dirtiness and blas phemy, the minimum of sense and wit. The rhymes are so constructed as to. inevitably suggest to the dullest understanding (the quickest sometimes in such*things aB these), the vulgarest words in the language. Another word is : substituted, which agrees, in the firßt one or two letters, with the word for which it is used/ These foul productions are re ceived as wit. The creature who sings them is honored with two or three oticom, and applauded with a volley of whißtles. Judge what the effect must be upon every mind—that of man; woman, and child present. The men and the women were those before and behind the curtain —performers, audience, waiter-girls, &c. The children were the lads up in the gallery and scattered through the body of the building, and those employed in a capacity which seemed analogous to that of the waiter-girls. Fox’s Casino, Chestnut street, above Sixth, like wise comes under that. category of amusements which has been referred to.' If the chance visitor at this place were conscientious, the impression left on him. by his visit would probably not be so disgusting aB that produced by a chance visit at the other esta-, bliehment. Here, however, prevails the same great objection which prevails at the other, and in thoss places generally known.as concert-saloons. The waiter-girl system is in full force. In look, dress, and behavior, many of these are not so repulsive as they might very naturally be expected to be. The unprejudiced are willing to believe that some mana gers endeavor to maintain as email a degree of im propriety as the essential tone of Buch an institution will admit of. But the opportunities which are made, and -which present" themselves, of rendering one of the lowest forms of sensualism subservient io time and place, are used, it cannot be doubted, with some avidity and success. Lewd innuendoes and disgusting songs do not seem to be the order at this establishment, nor at all establishments. But 1 enough can be seen and heard at one and all to sicken at a single visit the man of taste and honest feeling with thorough-bred disgust. To dilate upon and detail the entertainments at each fand all of these places would neither be com plimentary to their proprietors, nor respectful to the reader. The quality of the performance is very poor, and the quantity exceedingly munificent.. It is like a scrap of strong butter scraped over a thick slice of black bread. Both the quantity and quality can he estimated by the price of admission. This varies very considerably, and in itself is an item cl curiosi ty. Plenty of gaslight in front, and a modicum of it behind j glaring hyperbolic play*bills, crowded with gems and studded with stars; a bar with every variety of liquors (and its varieties)—all, all these may be en joyed in various degrees—from a pabulum of from five, cents to five dollars—more or less. Floricul ture iB rendered accessory to such entertainments. The throwing of bouquets is epidemic. The bouquets themselves are stale, and cheap of price. The crea tures who receive them are sometimes both. The concert-saloons, as a"rule, are an undisguisable evil. They evince a vicious taste in that portion of the community which patronizes, and in that ? portion which thus seeks patronage. The places which have been mentioned are not the only ones which might be named. They claim a first-class position, how ever, and “have their claims allowed.” Others, still lower and more degraded, might be designated. The objectfofthis article, however, is not to thorough ly Bicken Ihe reader. The nausea produced from a too continuous and minute inspection of suffering and sin iB not speedily counteracted by a pleasant reaction. The efforts of the Mayor of Philadelphia in this direction are full of intelligence and the purest benevolence. The good of not one, but of every one, is sought after. A conscienceless evil is sought to be remedied. To expose such, and to argue against it, may elicit the rancor of its parti sans; but it also inviteß the . discrimination of the intelligent, the pure-hearted, and the resolute. K’ORTUERN COPPERHEADS AND SOUTHERN . Rebels.— On ‘Wednesday a body of rebels 4 were sent on the steamboat Major Reybold, from Tennes-: see to Fort Delaware. A Philadelphia Copperhead somehow managed, before the boat started, to get acquainted with a rebel major. The obsequious at tention of the Copperhead does not appear to have been reciprocated Dy the prisoner to whom it was vocal contempt. He denounced him as a sneaking, miserable traitor, a sympathizer with the undis guised enemies of the Government, to which, while under its protection, he owed ..at least fidelity.. He further expressed astonishment that the North, and that the Government, should tolerate creatures ;which the South did not and would not tolerate. One would think that comments such as these, from the lips of rebel soldiers, would breed indigestion . when swallowed by the Northern" Copperheads .who suggest them. . • V-.. • ' Personal.—The, “ Chicago : Board;, 1 of Trade,”, at its last annual meeting, elected Col. John Fan* Beaty, late of-this city, its secretary. The Chicago Press, in speaking of the election, says that “ Though Col. Beaty was comparatively a stranger, his fitness for the position was such that the , asso ciation is tobe congratulated on its choice.” Col. Beaty-was formerly General Agent of the Reading Railroad,- and his popularity with shippers, dealers, and: others, who had business with that concern, was unbounded, and many were the regrets express ed ait his withdrawal. The ** Board of Trade,” of Chicago, is one of the levers in developing the re sources and importance of the great west. In the hands ot its new secretary this city will possess a friend who will, at, all times, take a pleasure and pride in pointing out itja manifold advantages to shippers of and dealers in Western produce.. United States Bonded Warehouse.-- ,We are permitted,, by the kindness of the store keeper in.ohargeofithe-'Criiited States bonded stores, Eront andXiOinbafd streets, to present a view of the partial workings of this branch of the revenue ser vice. The following are the amounts of goods re ceived in this warehouse for the fiscal year ending April ljf 1863: The amount of sugar, molasses, honey. Ac., received was 10,272 hogsheads, 833 tierces, and 1,275 barrels,' &c.; coffee, cocoa, &c., amounted to 2,883 bags; the dry goods to 616 packages; the.liqnors amounted to 1,318 casks, and the hides, fish, tar, Ac., to 667 packages. BooTMAKERS\STRncE.~The journeymen bootmakers are now returning to .ihose .establish ments where the employers have; yielded to the de mands of the workers for increased wages.- Every body knows - that shoe-leather is at present some what costly. Nine 'ahd-twelve dollars per pair are : pow given for fine boots. The tax on manufactu ring, the advance'-in the’cost of materials, and also 'he increase in theiwages of journeymen, may be tfttuyi aa the unavoidable causes of this advance.

Mr. Armstrong offered a vesolution instructing the Commiitcc on Street Cleaning not to sign the contractor’s bill until satisfied that certain streets named had been cleansed.

Mr. Grsjjle offered a - resolution instructing the agent of Girard Estates to lease to tließoard of Controllers, for school purposes, fora term of five years, the lot at the S.

Public Printing. ; The committee to whom was referred the resolution relative to the printing of Journal, reported a resolution discharging the committee from any further considera tion of the subject. :The original resolution directed the clerks to award the contract for the same to the lowest bidder. . Mr. Davis said it was singular that the committee re fused to advertise for proposals, and give the printing to the lowest bidder. The clerk of the Chamber had tafcen the printing away from a firm, without any authority to do to being granted. . This,'thespeabei*considered, was the same as the clerk declaring himself the superior and ruler of Councils. The Chamlfer passed a resolution,in 1f59, instructing the clerk to give the printing to Crissey & Markley, and it was a great assumption on his part lo tak> the printing away from them. The speaker de nounced the conduct of the Committee on Supplies in strong terms. He thought it was their duty to advertise for proposals, and thus effect a great saving to the city. Mr.’iZANJßjChairmanfol'the Commit ee,said the reasonihey did not advertise, was simply because it was uot in ac cordance with the ordinance passed in. 1559, giving the charge of the printing to Councils - Mr. Wktbertll said he never knew a clerk of Conn cils yet to deviate from the wishes of the Chamber. He believed they had a right to instruct their clerk, as to his duties. The Cjiatr stated that'he thought, according to the ordinance of 1553, the printing was under tbeldirection of the clerk, and could not be interfered with, unless the ordinance in question was repealed. The committee were accordingly discharged from any farther consideration of the subject. The Twenty-fourth Ward Contested-Elec tlou Case* The Twenty-fourth .ward contested-election was now called up. Mr. Wetheiull moved that the minority report be read. ■ Dr. Kamerly said he wished to. establish a matter of consistency so far as he was concerned. He believed that the majority report was final and conclusive, and the Chamber was bound: to receive it. The act of As sembly prescribes the method by which contested seats shall be decided. From the body that makes this law we obtain our authority to act. The law says you shall perform a certain duty, which is imperative. The report comes before u?, a majority report,-'as a matter of right and acceptance.- It comes as a truth, and, he contended, as soon as read was accepted. The minority. report simply conies before the Chamber by consent—by a vote. The presentation of a minority, report, he contended, was a- gross infringement of the rights of the citizens of Philadelphia. He believed that by voting not to re ceive the minority report he merely acted in accordance with the law. He believed it to be nnjust, illegal, and not worthy the consideration of any member in the Chamber. Dr. Uhler urged the reading of the report, as it would bring before the Chamber facts heretofore uakno wa. The minority rfport, signed by three of the committee, was then read. It sets forth that the investigation of the petitioners was about to close, and a report, probably, to be made in favor of the sitting member, when the Mceser case was decided ! n the courts. This, the chairman of the committee contended, had an important bearing on the case before them. What connection there was the mi nority could not see. The counsel for the petitioners ar gued, and the majority of the committee decided, that the omission of the election officers to note on the list of voters the names of all who are not on the assessors’ list, some 370, the names of the vouchers produced, etc.. ma.de the votes of such voters prima facie illegal, and throws the onus of proving their legality upon the par ties contesting the seat. The practical effect of this was to render it impossible, to ascertain for whom the majori ty of legal votes were cast, and towhomtheseat of right bOlongs.- The legal bearings in the case are ably con sidered at length, and the minority disagree, particular ly with the majority, in their right to disfranchise the ward by declaring the seat vacant. Mr. Wetoertll offered a resolution that the report of the majority transcends the power and jurisdiction of that committee, and be not accepted. Dr.. Kamerly desired to know whether this resolution was in order. The Chair decided itwas. Mr. BbigbtiiT argued at length in favor of the majority report- • Mr. Catherwood said, in the language of the resolu tion, he thought the committee had transcended their powers. The investigation of the committee, up to the time of the decision in the Sfeeser case, was in favor of the sitting member. He thought that the Meeser case had no bearing on the present one whatever. This view might not be acceptable to some, but be could not do a wrong for the sake 6 (party. That the Twenty-fourth ward should be disfranchised in the manner proposed was utterly’absurd. The speaker said there was no more occasion to go to the Supreme Court to learn to count votes’thanthere was to go to Jerusalem to learn’where our Saviour was buried. He thought the election: of Mr. Miller.was more fully shown in the report of the majority than in the report of -the minority. . Avotewas then taken on Mr.Wetherill’s motion not to receive the majority report,which, passed by the fol lowing vote: - Teas—Messrs. Catherwood, Davis, Ginnodo, Greble, Manuel, Miller, Paulling, Riche, Spering, Uhler, Wethe rill, Zane, Lynd, President—l 3. Rays—Messrs. Armstrong, -Baird, Barron, Brightly, Harris, Kamerly, King, Marcus, McElroy, Nicholson, Ricke 11 s,’Weaver—l2. The Ocean Steamship Bill was now taken up on final passage, and discussed at length. The same arguments,pro and con, as advanced at previous meetings, were again brought forward. Mr.'Armstrong said he would favor a postponement of the bill, as a committee of investigation were now in session, and it is said some startling developments have beenmade. Hewould like to hear the report of that committee before he voted on the bill ' Miv Wetherill, as one of,the committee, saidhe be lievcddhat it would be shown to the Chamber that im proper measures had been used to secure the passage of the bill. ■ During the debate, Mr. Wetherill asked of Dr. Ka merly, who was favoring the bill, if it could be shown that member's had been approached improperly to secure their votes, would he vote against the bill ? Dr. Kamerly answered, “Certainly not.” Mr. Brightly also asked that, if it could be shown that a ;member had been offered a certain number of shares for his vote, would he (Dr. Kamerly) favor the bill? . He answered in the negative. A motion to postpone and several amendments were all voted down. , Mr. Ginnodo offered an amendment that the city shall have at least one-representative iu the company, who shall be elected annually by Councils. This was agreed to by.all the members except Mr. Lynd, who voted in the negative. ; . Mr. Miller offered a further amendment, “ and pro vided, also, that said earnings so assigned and set over shall, from time to time, be forthwith invested in the . loan of the city, and.whenthe guarantee herein provided for shall be complied with, the amount of principal and interest remaining shall be paid into tlieCityTreasury.” Several other amendments were voted down. On a motion to postpone the bill, only nine members voted. There being no quorum, a motion to adjourn was made and voted down. The previous question was now. called, and the first section of the billwas passed with tlie following vote: Harris, Kamerly, McElroy, Nicholson, Paiitim, SspermgT - Uhler, Weaver—l 2, Nays—Messrs. Brightly, Davis, King, Manuel,. Mil ler. Wetherill, Zane, Lynd, (president)—B, On a motion to suspend the rules, and proceed to a third reading, the vote stood 13 to 7, which, not being a two third vote, the bill was laid over. . Adjourned.

KERNS, LATE PROVOST MARSHAL United States vs. Wm. H. Kerns. The defendant was put on trial yesterday, on a charge of procuring and en ticing Beverly Copes, an enlisted man in the 95th Regi ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, to desert. The indict ment is framed under the 17th teeth'n of the act of Janu ary 11,1812. The case did not progress very far before Judge Grier said that there was no case made out under the law, and directed the jury to return a verdict of hot Guilty, which they did. , The evidence offered, showed that Copes, the sol dier, came home on a furlough of seven days, from thB 2od to the 28th of .February. His health being bad, lie desired to'geta discharge, and was induced to apply to the defendant, who, after an interview, agreed to get it for him for $5O. Copes consented to pay this amount, and did pay it, as he testified, when the defendant, on •the2Sthof February last, handed him what purported to be a final discharge from the service The paper was a regular blank for. discharges, and such as is generally used, and bore the signature of Assistant Adiutant Gene ral-Freese, of this post. He testified that his signature to ihe discharge, as also his signature to a paper notify ing the commanding officer of Cope’s company of his dis charge, were forgeries. Edward E. Young, a clerk in the Adjutant General’s office, testified that he, at the solicitation of Kerns, gave him a blank discharge, saying that he expected to get $25 for it, and that he would give him (Young) liaif; Youiig said he received from the defendant $lO. He also testified that Adjutant General Freeses’ signatnre to the discharge was written by himself, [witness,) and not Kerns; lie did not know who. wrote the signature to the leiter of notification. At the time of this occurrence, Kerns was uot in the United States service.

These Beams are to' be made after the following specifi cations: The Rail for.Barhette Carriages is a rolled wrought iron beam, similar in. appearance, to the “I’’-shaped beams used in the construction of fire-proof buildiugs. It is required to be straiglit.and smooth on its surface, and free from flaws, imperfect welds, blisters, and cinder streaks. The outer surfaces of the two flanges are planes, parallel to each other, and at right angles to the web. The web joins the two flanges along their middle line, leaving them to project equally on each side, and must be without bends or corrugations. DIMENSIONS OF BEAMS. Length of rail . 171 inches. Depth between outer surfaces, of flanges... 15 inches. Width of flanges. 5.375 inches. Thickness of flange at outer edge.i , .75 inch. Thickness of web .625 inch. These Beams will be inspected after the following rules: They are to be made of good, tough, well-worked, clear iron, the absence of wlUch qualities (generally in dicated by roughness of surface, and by chectcs, and more marked roughness along the edges of the flanges), - as also flaws or bad welds, blisters, and streaks of cin der, will cause their rejection. * . Ist. They are to be of the required dimensions and square at the ends. 2d. They are to be straight and free from short bends in the flanges and webs. 3d. The outer plane surfaces of the flanges are to he parallel to each other, and in planes perpendicular to that of the web. 4th.
