These are cotiiiarativly few, even of the in habitants of Pittsburgh, w ho have-any adequate idea of extent and variety of the various umnu fuctures which are curried on amongst us. In pursuance of a determination to do what we could to render these better known, we uiid a visit the other day, by way of cotiimeiicement, to the Ciuiiiowder Manufactory of Mr. Andrew Wut-son, and the following is -a faint uccount of v.'hat we sqav. The 1'iltabnrgh l'owder Mills arc wtnated on the iinr-ili -bunk of -the river Mutioiiyiiliela, about two and a half miles from that city, for the purjajiie of lessening the disasters attending c.losioii, the bin lit kig co' cr a large extent of ground, and each of the nmny processes to avIhl-Ii tin: inatc ruil is subject before it Ls t timed out in the form with w hich the world is bin loo fiimiiiar, is performed in a separate building.

Good Gun powder, mch as Mr. Watson makes, reipiires gisnj charcoal, and -for the purpose of having good charcoal, young and sound wood is requi red, the water maple being the toi -desirable. Of these Mr. Watson has large plantation, which yield what wood lie reipiiros, besides fur nishing n considerable number of young trees to the cit'zens for ornamental purposes.

The engine has 0 boilers attached to it, each .'Ut inches in diameter, mid 'J'J feet h inches Jong, and consumes about 4a bushels of coal per day. The wood is converted into charcoal by be ing burnt in large cast iron retorts, and the gas that is evolved is conveyed in pipes into the lire under the retort by which one third of the fuel which would olherwe be necessary is saved. The pyrol igneous acid w hich the wood contains, and w hich this process evolves, it is the purpose of Mr. Watson to distil into vine gar as soon as his arrangements for that .pur pose can be cflected. We followed the charcoal into the "com pounding hou." Here after having been crushed bctwo.n rollers, it is placed in a large hollow cus!;ron globe, in which are a consider able number of small brass balls; tliee glolt-s are made to revolve rapidly, whidi speedily in duces it to an impalpable .powder. It is then put with the other ingredients, in the pri-pur tion of lo uf -charcoal, 10 of sulphur, and "i ut nitre, itno "a mining barrel," which is made to revolve DO times per minute. l'Vuiu the mixing barrel it is taken to the "lllllllouse,' where 4 lurge rollers of cast iron weighing :)() lbs. each, of the blm,H3 of mill stones, placed on end, chase each other round u cast iron circle weighing ?0,(HK) lbs. Under these rollers it is crushed for about five hours, and then it is'lakcu to the "press room." In the press room it is put in layers bttween cloths and boards alternately, and subjected to the immense pressure of an hydraulic press. This is dune to condense the powder into a solid sub.-tance. The cakes or slabs are then taken to another building and passed thruugb a pair of coarsely grooved fullers, w hich break it up in to small lumps. This is the fnsl process of 'graining." These lumps are then placed on shelves in a room heated by steam for the pur- ose of being partially dried, when they ore iv- gaiu passed through various rollers, the dceired "prum" is obtained, From the rollers the gun powder, as it may now be termed, pusses through a hopper into a revolving wire ryliu der, the duTi-r.e-.ut degrees of fineness in the length of which, screens it into as many kinds ofowder; the finest, which is mere dust, is taken buck tube re-wnrkcd. The remainder is placed in lam Is, about Cill lbs. in each, which are made rapidly to re volve for the J urj-ose ol "glai-i" it.

Wc cannot in a newswtpor article give a minute account of .the manufacture, but we trust sufficient has been said togiveour readers some notion of it. We wore slnu k in our walks through this mainif.i. lory with the few workmen employed, when computed with the extent of the works and the amount produ ced. Steam is the never tiring agent, man but the guiding spirit. Mr. Watson, the intel ligent proprietor has our best thanks for his pa tient explanations, and our best wishes for the success w hich his skill, ingenuity, and enter prise so eminently deserve. Pittsburg Adv. The Iron Naanfsrlurr. Appended to the Report of the Committee on Maiuilaetures are somo interesting state ments relative to various imiiortant domestic interests. A communication from Mr. W. Voi-.nq, Superintendent of the Mount Savaoe Iron works, near Cumberland in this State, gives some valua-ble information concerning the manufacture of American Iron. Mr. -Voi no states, m answer to an interro gatory from the Committee, thnt a duty of 2(1 percent. vulmim would be altogether in-udodu-ite to sustain the iron masters of the country. it h a -rett-onab'.e belief that our legislators would modify the Compromise Act and L'ive u suitable protection, those eiionoed in the iron iiianii!uctiire, whose means enable them todo so, have prepared to continue their works in oiM-rutmo thi-4 year mid work up their stock of materials. Rut, it u added, if the Coiiitiroini.-e Act cues into effect, there will not be a blast furnace, using charcoal, in operation in the year ll.'J in Vermont, Con necticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jer-' soy, Delaware, Maryland, l-'ennsylvaina or Virginia, east of the mountains. The reasons for this belief are given. It is shown by a reference to the prices of English iron, osipiuted from the circulars of Jevous, Sons, & Co. of l.iverptail, from to l-'.Ui, that variations tisik place so exactly adapted to the state of the American market ut dillereiit periods as to show that the control of prices was in the! hands of tho Itritir.Ii manufacturers anil that tho same was used lo, prostrate, it os- sihle, the lion .establishments -of the United States. -lit lJVi the minimum price in Eng land wtis li.vcd t i meet cur tunlf ; and tin minimum ol' 1-11 to operate on our maiiut'ac luri's like a wasting iht.ea.-e. One forth of ull the ironworks in England, Wales and -Scotland, were stopped on the 1st ol December last by agreement auiom; the masteis. The quantity produced having brought prices to their lowest stage, tliismr esitre was re sorted to for the purpose of elevating them u gain and probably for utmt!ier purpose also, viz. to set all their works u-to operation ol the full of our Ttiri.Tin June, and by putting prices down to omburRss the American establishment. Mr. Yuixo suys : "It" tiiu Compromise Act goes into effect in June, our markets, will be glutted in July w ith the present surplus stoclu in England. Their works hjw lytiigidie (one fourth ofthe vcholej wiil be put in operation a gain,and price will be kept low till our works are abuudoned, ulter which they will be ad vanced uil Wtitifn. When arrived ut a oiiit at which we could make iron with a moderate profit, should any 1h linili.-li enough to invest capital again in the manufacture, our kind friends in England w ill seed it sufficiently cheap toriiiu them, und thus control our whole supplies at their sovereign w ill und pleasure. The low wages tifJaborers in England, and the jmiiicusi: capital invested ill lurge iron establishments, enable the manufactures in that country to produce iron at lower rates thuu is practicable in the United Stales at present, while the manufacture is yet in its infancy. But tlmre is no doubt of the final and speedy success of the business here, il'tutlicu tit pro tection is extended to wurranl investment in it.

He did not how ever, give up, but returning to the subject con tinued. 'Rut think of my rank, Countess, and the fa vor which I enjoy with the Emperor.'
