Tory, however. fought e ith little s t •ire:, and did not even fire their cannon, but left the field of battle after losing about 4t) men in killed and wounded. They, however, only moved their camp five seats beyond the village of Hisikai, where tilt y had been posted before the action. On the 6th iust. they with drew altogether. In order to hasten the retreat of the enemy, Prince Tschantschauadse made a forward movement in the detection of Melusgerd; but not falling in with them, he returned to his camp at Patios. The retreat I f the enemy will malt: it pos,ible for t'►e troops of the corps of Blared to go inn► winter quarters. The principal cause of ibis retreat turns out to have been the movement made by the division from Kai s, at the foot of the mountains of Sagatitap, which separate the Pachaliks of Karssand Etzereum. Major General Bergmann, commanding this division, received orders to march towards Erzereum, in order to disengage the corps of Prince T , chantschawad,e.

At a time when the Commit ee on bade have de. voted so much anxious attention to tie subjrct of the inuoductiun of Loglisli icon into Fiance, the iollowing Accurate statement, which has been furnished to us by correspondent, of the improvement in the iron manu f.icture in England since coal ha. been brought into mote general use, will, no d:rubt, to intetestiug to out readers: The extraction of coal from the earth appears to haw* first commenced in the year 1272 ; but ignor..nce and prejudice prevented the smelting of-iron by the means 4 f this combustible until the commencement of the 17;h century. Previous to that period iron had always been antrlted by charcoal. YOTo a work of Dudley's (Melallsro Maras), it ap pears, that in 1615. is period when all non was s melted by chascoal, them txtsteJ SOO furnace., the total pus duce of which may be valued a-t 75,000 tons of Cast. mar, suppo.ing 250 tons to be manufactured a-year by each furnace. The first patent accorded for smelting iron with coal was given in 1611 to Sinion Sitotwatt, or Rewart. This gave him the exclusive tight to this mant.frciurn in England for thirty years; but at the end of a year, finding his dims °stk.., he gave up his patent. In 1619 the fantails Dudley ree..eved his patent for thitty years, which wax afterwards limited to fourteen. His skill enabled him to pr. duce in a furnace cf high tern pet atm e three ions of cast lion aweek, with coal. only. However, prejudice, thr spook uf patty,andth. jealousy of the forgemasters, excited a popular sedition against him, and his establishments were des:toyed.
