Some further notice of the Bhabur forests may be deemed desirable, inasmuch as Mr. Henwood, who was sent out from England to explore the iron districts of Kumaon, has fortned a low estimate of the fuel capabilities of De chowree. On this point the lieutenant-governor of the north-west provinces remarks, that " for mining operations on any extensive scale, supplies of fuel both within the hills and on their borders will be found to be abundant for a, long course of years." The commissioner of Kumaon, Mr. Batten, states that the forests of that district are bound less, and to all appearance inexhaustible. " I fully believe," he says, " that the lower hills and Bhabur, at every iron locality discovered by Colonel Drummond, can supply suf ficient charcoal for the largest English furnace for a hun dred years to come." Capt. Ramsay, the senior assistant commissioner of Kumaon, is of opinion that if the miners cut fuel judiciously the forests in the vicinity of the iron mines throughout the district would furnish a permanent supply of fuel. Mr. Strachey, the collector and magistrate of Moradabad, and formerly senior assistant in Gurwhal, says, " Many hundred square miles of unbroken and un touched forest are available for mining operations in the Kumaon Babur. The Dee owe() Mines are actually in this forest. I believe that there is enough fuel with in an easily accessible distance of Dochowree to supply the largest mining establishment for a century to come." These statements, put forward upon the authority of the best informed local functionaries, cannot but be regarded as satisfactorily refuting the opposite opinions of Mr. Hen wood. Dechowree possesses one great advantage over any other locality suggested, in lying at the foot of the hills instead of among them. The mines being situated so near to the level of the plains, and always accessible to wheel carriages, the transport of the produce can be easily accomplished. There is at present a good road for nearly the whole dis tance from Dechowree to Moradabad (about 50 miles), at which place the Ramgunga is navigable throughout a great part of the year. Moreover, cheap tramways can be laid down as soon as the works are in active operation.

Mr. Davies, the smelter, estimates the cost of a ton of pig iron manufactured according to the European method at 46 re., and the additional cost of making castings from the pig iron, including mouldings, remelting, &c., at 25 rupees, but observes that the cost would be gradually reduced as the works progressed. There are other localities within the Kumaon district, those for instance, of Ramghur and Mungla Lekh, and those of Khetsaree and Chowghnrkha within the hills, and some others at no great distance from the plains, where iron ore of the best quality is found in abundance; but with reference to the extensive deposits of Loha Bhurbur and Dechowree, the necessity for looking for other beds in Ku maon may be regarded as a very remote contingency. A more detailed and prolonged examination into the ex tent and quality of the iron formation on the outer range of the Kumaon Hills was projected at the close of the rainy season of 1855, and no time, it was stated, would be lost in submitting the result of the inquiry. But the report has not yet come to hand. BENGAL. The objects contemplated in Colonel Goodwyn's paper are to point out the abundance of iron ore in India,, and to sug gest the best means to be employed for working it. Th• localities mentioned by this officer as convenient sites for the commencement of mining operations and smelting ex periments are the Damoodah valley, near Raneegunge, on the Brahminy, in Cuttack, in Assam, and near Palamow. Several places within the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant. Governor of Bengal have been examined by the superin tendent of the geological survey of India. In a report dated in 1852, Professor Oldham, adverting to the dis trict of " Beerbhoom," observes—" Tho absence of eco nomical fuel, combined with the scanty supply of ore, at once determines the inapplicability of any extended series of operations for smelting and manufacturing iron in this district." 7, /114..., ri, - , !Ay ADP-SW.2'I7I4ER DI THE 1 q,:t : tk- , —, ~, k, i ; = - '.• 4 - i •o v .

She went out in admir able style and condition, and hundreds of peeple congre gated on the beach to see thii beautiful frigate leave. She went out with steadiness and speed against a strong tide, although only two of her boilers were at work, .it being considered unnecessary to consume fuel by having all her boilers at work. The engines worked beautifully. They are Penn's patent trunk engines of 600-horse power. This is, however, only their nominal power, for they will, if required, work up to 1,400. The Shannon's speed was not put to the test to-day, as it had been tried before, when she made over 12 knots per hour. When she has taken her shot, shell, &c., on board, another trial will proolbly be made. The Hannibal, 91, screw -ship, Captain Hay, is receiv ing a few repairs at Spithead.

This morning the whole of the Royal Artillery in gar rison assembled on the common, and were inspected by the Commandant, Sir W. F. Williams, Bart. The R o y a l Horse Artillery and the b a tt a li ons o f Foot Artillery were then headed by the commandant and staff (accompanied by the Royal Artillery band), proceeded in marching order from the common along the London and Dover road, and returned to garrison by the Old Charlton-road. Although the number of military in garrison has been decreased in consequence of several companies having recently left Woolwich for other stations, the muster this morning presented a most imposing appearance, and at no former period has the Regbnent of Royal Artillery been in a more efficient state than at present. This afternoon the officers and men of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines assembled on parade, and after inspec tion by the Commandant, Col. Brown, proceeded on a march of about two miles along the Woolwich and Charl ton Upper road. Lient:-Col. W. H. Elliott, R.A., and Lieut.-Col. G. Markham, RA., have bee❑ permitted to exchange places on the roster, and the former will proceed to St. Helena to relieve Co!. Hill. Lieut.-Col. Graydon, R.A., has been ordered to pro ceed to Malta. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILW-4 Y. Lieut.-Col. Walpole, Royal Engineers, is ordered home from Gibraltar, where he is second in command to Col. Ward, to assume the command of the detachment stationed at Woolwich. Lieutenant Boileau, R.E., is ordered to leave Woolwich for MJta, and Lieutenant Grossman, of the same corps, is to be stationed in Lon don. On Friday Mr. Worley, coroner for the county of Buckingham, opened an inquiry at the Globe Inn, Ilan slope, respecting the death of Benjamin Pike, aged 22, lately a fireman in the service of the Loudon and North- Western Railway Company, who died from injuries received in the collision which took place on Wednesday last. Jonathan Oscar, driver of the engine which broke away from the luggage train, stated that when he found his engine had become detached, he ran on about a mil a and a quarter, believing the train would follow him about that distance.. He then stopped, in order t'aat deceased, who was his fireman, might go back and s'sgnal the guard or breaksman. The fog at that time was very dense, and he could neither see nor hear the advancing train, which struck his tender immediately he stopped the engine. He opened the regulator, to set his engine in motion, the moment he saw the train. He had in tended to have gone on after setting Pike down. The violence of the concussion flung him completely over the boiler, and he could not say what occurred afterwards. The train must have separated by the couplings break log, as he had not . slackened his speed since leaving Blisworth. John Davis, the breaksman to the train, said that a short time before the collision he found that the train had slackened speed, but the fog prevented him from dis covering the cause. He kept expecting a signal from the engine. He had no means of signalling the driver, and he did not apply the break, fearing that if the engine put on more power the couplings would give way. The I collision w as th e fi rs t i nt i mat i on that he bad that any thing was wrong. Taking into consideration the weight of the train, with the two "dead" engines in front, be believed that if the driver bad warned him by his whistle, to apply his b rea k, it wou ld have taken him more tha A a mile to stop his train after the engine had become ( 4 . e . tached. Immediately upon the collision occurring b e severed the telegraph wire, and went back to stop 'the next coming train, which he met about a quarter o f a mile babiathem. The jury desired to be informed what the witness meant by severing the telegraph wire ? Mr. M'Connell explained that among the more rileent iinpnvements adopted by the London and North W ee . tern Railway Company for securing perfect safety of travelling over their line, had been the establishment of a "special train telegraph," with signal statiane every two miles. At each station a policeman was on duty night and day, in whose watch-box there was a telegr a ph dial with a single needle. By inclining the needle to the left hand the person in charge gave notice to the next station that a train had passed on to the two miles of road entrusted to his special care ; while inclining it to the right hand would show that the train had passed off that portion of the line. There were in fact but two signals, "train on" and "train cff ;" but as it might happen, as in this ca-e, that an accident occurred upon the two miles of road between the telegraph stations, the guard and breakstnen were instructed instantly to sever the "special train wire," which had the effect of placing the needle at each adjacent station in an upright position. The policemen on duty at once became aware by this movement that something was wrong, and could act according to circumstances. Industry, steam store-vessel, left the harbour this day with a fall cargo of boilers and machinery for vessels fitting at Plymouth and Devonport. Balaklava, screw ordnance vessel, arrived off the Royal Arsenal Pier this day with a cargo of shot and shell from Portsmouth. CHATHAM, NOV. 3. The Hood, 80, which has been cut in half and "half launched," for the purpose of being lengthened 40 feet, is making considerable progress, and an extra number of shipwrights have been put o❑ in order to have her completed by the earliest possible time. Her lower beams have been all laid, and it is intended that she shall be fitted with a screw. The Renown, 9/, screw steamer, is so far completed that the caulkers have commenced caulking her. It is intended that she shall be completed and launched early in the forthcoming year. The Goliath, 80, in dock, is to have some extensive alterations made in her, in order to be fitted as a screw steamer. The Hero, 90, and the Irresistible, 80, building, are both to be fitted with screws. the former vessel is in a very advanced state, and will shortly be completed. The Racoon, 20, and the Charybdis, 20, two screw corvettes, are to be completed forthwith. Tile former vessel was laid down in March last, a.nd the latter-in May ; they are both building from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B , Surveyor of the Navy. Seve ral improvements have been made in this description of vessel since the Cadmus, 20, was constructed at Chat ham dockyard. The Irresistible, 80, is intended to be fitted with a SOTS V.

SIEGE OPERATIONS BY NIGHT AT CHATHAM' CIIATIIA.M, Nov. 3. It having hecome publicly known throughout the towns this morning that some interesting siege operations would take place on Chatham Great Lines during the night, and by the time fixed for the assembling of the troops, viz., half-past six . , a very considerable number of persons had collected round the barracks, at which time the Royal Engineers, and the Hon. East India Com pany's Sappers and Miners, to the number of about 1,000 men, assembled on parade in marching order with their field tools for working, and at 7 o'clock they were marched in separate divisions to the ground in charge of Lieut. Lempriere, R.E., who took the command of the working party of the Royal Engineers of the left attack ; and Major Sidley, R.E., with a strong working party, pro ceeded to take the party of the right attack, whilst Capt. Walker, R E., took charge of the force under his command, and was assisted by Lieut. Thorold and En sign Scott, of the Hon. East India Company's service, and proceeded to the Garrison, Fort Amherst, in order to defend it against the enemy. Major Hassard, R.E., assisted by Lieut. Phillips, R.E., were the officers who had the general arrangement of the operations. Several of the jury remarked that the system. appeared ;o be well calculated to prevent accidente. Mr. M'Connell said, if the signals were properly at tended to, a collision, in the ordinary sense of the term, was impossible. The system, however, induced a rigidity of praotice which, though essentially productive of safety to travellers, doubtless, almost necessarily occa sioned delays when any derangement occurred. The " train telegraph" had only one code, and the policemen in charge were not able to carry on a conversation by it. The wire was placed about half way up the ordi nary telegraph posts, and in this instance had not been injured by the accident, though the ordinary intelligence wires had been destroyed. This train telegraph at pre sent existed from London to Rugby, and was in process of extension over the whole system of the London and North Western lines. The witness proceeded to describe the steps he took to prevent accidents to other trains. His belief was that the driver had not time to have reversed his engine, and therefore could not have been meeting the train when the collision occurred. Thomas Bostick, a platelayer, and Richard Bolter, signal policeman at the Ashton Bank telegraph station, having been examined, portions of a coupling iron which had been found near the scene of collision were produced. The hook had been snapped asunder, but there seemed to be no flaw nor indication of weakness in the metal. Medical evidence showed that a rupture in the region ofthe kidney was the cause of deceased's death. The Coroner, in summing up, said the only question was, had the driver, Oscar, by any proceeding on his part, occasioned the collision ? He had himself declared that his engine had not beer reversed, and this statement was corrob orate d b y other witnesses, It might be un fortunate that he had not sounded his whistle to give warning to th e b reaksman to use his endeavours ost op the train, b ut t h e b reaksman had deposed that, bad he applied the b rea k, h e di d not bel i eve brought hi s t ra i n up in the! distance run he could have WWI, in the fi rst instance, attributable no doubt that the accident There could attributable to the heavy only question was, did the jury fog w hich p d r e e r va a i eyd individual d a i n v d i d t u b a i t • upon which the d into court y liberation they returned bad unanimously agreed responsible The ery retired,i in a and after deg r e a e h f c o o o u r n t :fib fifteen had en m occurred d ? e foreman announced that they upon a verdict of accidental death. Capt. Cumberland, R.E., assisted by several Engineer officers, directed the right attack, with a portion of offi cers from the provisional battalion, and a large body of troops belonging to regiments of the line ; and Capt. H. Schaw, R.E., Lieut. Hume, and Lieut. Keith, R.E., at tended the field officers of the provisional battalion and troops under their command, in the left attack. On the sound of the bugle the troops commenced trac ing the ground, forming parallels, half sunken and ele vated batteries, and as the night was dark the troops were assisted by a number of lights used by the army in tracing and bull's eyes ; the operations of the siege commenced, extending from the brow of the bill on the left of Chatham lines to the front opposite to the Black Lion Inn, New Brompton, on the right, at the general distance of 500 yards, a point in the prolonga tion of the capital of the King's Bastion, The tracing having been completed the sienal was given for a regular attack. A patrol of Royal Engineers was sent out from the garrison to attack the be,iegere, and on their fal,.ne in with the out-pickets of the enemy a brisk file was opened on them by the working party in the entrenched works. The whole of the working party, extending nearly three-quarters of a mile, stood to their arms, and shortly after a heavy firing commenced on the garrison, the patrols leaving behind them fire-balls on the glacis in order to see their way into the garrison. The garrison, in return, opened a tremendous fire of artillery from Fort Amherst ; the guns were manned by the Royal Marines (Light Infantry), the ramparts being lined by the Royal Engineers, who acted as infantry, keeping up a raking fire of musketry from one end of the line of fortifications to the other; fire-balls and blue lights were lit up on the salient angles of the bastion, under the charge of Quartermaster Bradford, which threw a bril liant light over the country for miles. The troops in the garrison sent a party as a patrol from the works, but owing to the lights they were soon discovered by the besieging patrols to be the enemy ; they were then driven back under a sharp fire of musketry, and the firing was kept up by the troops protecting the parallels and bat teries with considerable spirit, and as nothing could be seen but the reflection from the firing, the musketry and field pieces of artillery had altogether a very im posing effect. During the firing the spur Battery and the King's Bastion became brdliantly lighted with fire balls and blue lights, and their reflection produced a most magnificent sight, having the appearance of a large town on fire. The whole of the proceedings were considered per fectly satisfactory to Colonel Sandh am and the whole of the staff-officers 1,40 were p resen t. It was very late before the troop s were called to go to their barracks. They were marched off in columns. About 4,000 per,ons were present on the lines to wit ness this interesting military spectacle.

The chairman of the East India Company pre sents his compliments to the Editor of The StrA, and begs to enclose a collection of papers upon a subject of great public interest both to India and this country. East India House, Nov. 1,185 G. Lieut.-Colonel Goodwyn, chief enzineer in the Lower Provinces of Bengal, having addressed a paper to the local government pointing out tbn abundance of iron in India, and suggesting the means to be employed for working the ore, it has been deemed expedient to give publicity to his communication, together with a memorandum pre pared at the East India House, showing the mea sures which have been adopted from time to time, with the view of directing the attention of British capitalists to the iron-producing districts of India. Further reports on the subject may be shortly ex pected, and any new matter therein contained will be published in like manner forgeneral information. FROM CHIEF ENGINEER, LOWER PROVINCES, TO THE SECRE TARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL GENERAL PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. Dated Fort William, the 27th June, 1855. Sir,--Iron beitg the most valuable metal which is known for its use us every art, and more particularly for its ex tended application to pin poses of engineering and building, I am induced not so much to bring the subject to the notice of his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, who has I know a great interest in it, as to point to its abundance in this country, and the great necessity that exists for establish ing the means of working the native ore. -2. Its abundance has been 'testified to by atibost '6 - very journal in India, and confirmed by many reports, although the details may have varied with the views of the reporters, whilst I have myself seen its extensive existence in several parts of the country; and having witnessed the native mode of working it with a considerable percentage of good metal gained, can state that there is the richest prospect of advantage if more scientific means and liberal capital were employed. 3. Of its deficiency as a manufactured article. I cannot write too strongly; it is everywhere complained of, and not more so than by the department, public works. Need I say that we are working with perishable material when we ought to have permanent; in wood where we should use iron, and in brick where by the means that iron would, give us we should be using stone. Thi s d e fi c i ency is be coming daily more apparent, and our work is cramped and paralysed from the extremely limited supply from England, added to which the price has been so much advanced and the freight raised so high that there is little or no relief to be expected from the home market. That the Indian iron can not only be successfully worked, but structurally applied, was proved many years ago by Colonel Presgrave, formerly mint master at Sanger, who smelted the iron in the neighbourhood, rolled it in the mint rollers, fashioeed it into bars and rods, and then erected an excellent su.speesion bridge near Saugor entirely from the ore in the vicinity. Its manufacture in India is a subject of prominent importance, and scarcely less so than the es tablishia nt of railways and electric telegraphs. That the iron of India was formerly allowed to be so long in its native state may be traced to the corrupt and de spotic sovereignties by which the country was swayed ; but there are now, under the British Government, the strongest motives, some of which only I have urged, for bringing this most valuable metal into extensive use, placed as it is by Providence in our very grasp. 4. I will not here enter into details of the profits or per centage gained by native processes, or the nature of those processes ; suffice it to notice here, that the result is most satisfactory as a guarantee to enterprise, whilst the speci mens that I have seen, and which are extant, show the metal to be of superior quality where attention has been paid to locality ; and if the postulates I have advanced be admitted, I deem that the Government would do well to expend a certain sum to place the matter beyond all possi ble aoubt. 5. As regards Central India, the Gwalior and Jubbulpore districts and the neighbourhood of Hazareebaug place the question of the existence of good iron beyond a doubt; but for the more ready consumption of the presidency and its vicinity it would probobly be worth while to enter on ex periments in the valley of the Damooda, near Raneegunge, on the Brohnaing, in Cuttack, in Assam, and near Pala mow, and an outlay of from one lac to four lacs of rupees, according to the extent of the operations, would, I am sure, end in the most advantageous results. 6. Its modus operandi will be to call upon the authorities for an immediate brief return of the general character of the iron ; information which has at various times been obtained in each district in which it is found ; to select from these, under advice, two, three, or four districts, with especial reference to local facilities for the object in view, and if possible of after conveyance; to decide to spend not exceeding 4,00,000 rupees (four lacs) upon the whole ; to erect at once moderate-sized blast furnaces at each place, the blast engines, &c., being constructed in Calcutta, while the furnaces are being built the iron -stone, or ore, fuel, and flux being s i mu lt aneous l y collected in quantity, in readiness for the starting and keeping up the supply, and placing each furnace in charge of some person who has been used to the work, and who may be found in the Cal cutta foundries, giving to them certain latitude, to vary the proportions and record the results, and give a large premium to the moat successful to send down the first pigs made to Calcutta, and upon the result of this examination and the reports of the blast furnace operations and local supplies there will be no difficulty in making over the whole to those who will complete the scheme, by supplying all the rolling mills, puddling fur naces, and continuing the manufacture through all its stsges, either returning the outlay to the Government, if made a condition, or not, as may be considered most equi table at the time. 7. I believe that no complete analysis by a regularly trained iron viewer and smelter has yet been faithfully ob tained, and it is very probable that greater value may, on the result of such analysis, be found in some localities that will materially affect the prospect of working them, and I would fain hope that under effective and scientific manage ment our public works may at no distant time receive that aid from native iron, without which its energies must be comparatively circumscribed.—l have, &c., (Signed) H. GOODWYN, Lieut.-Col., Chief Engineer, Lower Province. MEMORANDUM. IRON ORES IN THE VALLEY 01? THE NERBIIDDA. In connection with the introduction of rail ways into India the Court of Directors, towards the close of the year 1830, called the attention of the government of India to the ma nufacture of iron in that country. The court observed that little doubt could be entertained of the capability of India to produce this most important article, but that faci lities were wanted; and information required, before any expectation would be entertained that enterprise and capital could be directed to the promotion of this ob ject. Among the localities represented as the most eligible for carrying on ironworks, the court enumerated Sikree Gully, near Rajmahal • the banks of the Darnoodah River and parts of Sylhet and Beerbhoom ; and a desire was expressed that the attention of Professor Oldham, the geological surveyor then just appointed, should bo drawn to the subject. While engaged in surveying the vicinity of Sikree Gully it was suggested that Professor Oldham should be deputed as early as possible to the Nerbudda Valley, to which loca lity it was observed too much importance could not be at tached. No very minute account of the mineral resources of this tract could be expected until a scientific geological survey should have been instituted. A favourable estimate had, however, been formed by Mr. Jacob, the assistant engineer and geologist to the Bombay and Baroda Railway Company, who declared them to be inexhaustible. The following is a brief summary of the reports made by this i g n e n t t h l e e m e x a n a m d i u n ri a n t i g o t n h o e f fi t v h e e m N o e n r b t hs in udaa w m h i r n e e h r h w a le districts. as employed The deposits of iron, ore in this tract are principally situated between Poonassa, Chandghur, and Jubbulpore, and the tract of country in question will be found delineated in the annexed map.

Jacob proceed e d t o Ch an d g h ur, on th e nort h s id e o f th e river, distant a b ou t 12 m il es, w h ere th e re d liamatite ore of sfo inexhaustible, a flux iron abounds. It is described as of surpassing richness, yielding 63.4 per cent. of metal, the theoretically pure ore giving only 69.34 per cent. At one of the mines the ore lies in rounded nodules on the surfaie, the depth varying from 6 in. to 10 ft. It is dug out with the greatest facility. In addition to the loose ore in the vicinity of this mine the ground for hundreds of acres is strewn with it, and every stream washes down quantities of the purest kind, being the debris from the various veins intersected in the river's course. The river Nerbudda . is represented as cutting four great veins within the short space of one mile, one of them having a breadth of 122 ft. The veins run almost ver tically into the banks. Mi. Jacob adds :--" It is needless to dwell on the many places in the district where iron ore abounds; the deposit may be looked upon as inexhausti ble. The loose ore, which ought to be first used, would be collected an d p l aced at the depots for the low price of is. 31d. per ton. My camp was four miles from the mine, and the vill agers offered to bring any quantity to it for that pri ce ." The district for miles round is dense jungle; the timber, Mr. Jacob adds, is of the highest specific gravity, and admirably suited to the manufacture of char coal, and th e suppis estimated t o l as t f or man y years. He observes, inorVer, that an easy communication may be opened with the coal mines of Hoshungabad and Nursing,pore, and that charcoal with proper coalings mTmheenpaleadceaiss saitpuraotpederinsitthee fßorritatnehitreornritmoryan.ufactory cannot possibly cos t more than 4s. per ton.

It commences at Bombay, and, after passing the ghauts, pro ceeds along the Valley of the Nerbudda to Jubbulpore, where it will be met by a branch from the East Indian Railway, issuing from the main line at or near• Mirzapore. Bombay will also be connected by rail with Madras, and thus the iron districts of the Nerbudda will have the advantage of railway co mmunication with all parts of India, and easy ac cess will be obtained for their produce to every market in pie countl7. for 4/, 161. per fem. ekt Jebbelpore, still further east, rich deposits are found of the micaceous variety of spe cular iron. It is wrought principally at Punnaghur, 15 miles northeeast of the toe* of Jubbulpore,and commands the Bettie price iu the iriarliet as the iron of. Tendukeri. In Oct., 1855, the Court of Directors desired t be i n . formed w h e th er i n the opinion of the Bombay Government Poonassa possessed the advantages represented by M r . Jacob. Th ey were anxi Dus tied no opportunity should b e neglect e d f or opening 007 fi e ld th a t m i g ht b e p resen t e d f or the empl o y ment of p rivate capital in developing the mine ral resources of India; bet as it *Ws net expected that English capitalists would come forward for the purpose of working mines in India with the scanty information hi therto published, they desired that the proper inquiries might be instituted as. to the capabilities of this district far producing; manufaeteritig, end eransporting the metal. In Marcie 1856, the Bomb a y Government were informed than, an " iron viewer" would be sent out from England to prosecute investigations into the mineral resources of that presidency, and the Government were further authorised, in the event of favourable localities being found, to take measures for the experimental manufaetere of iron. In the meantime Professor Oldham, having been de puted t) the Nerbudda Valley, proceeded to the examina tion of the iron•producing districts ; and having com pleted his investigations in the vicinities of Poonassa and Chandghur, submitted a report on the subject to the Bom bay Government in April, 1856, from which the following particulars are derived. Iron ore Is found in this district in two foetus a gravel or detritus of partially decomposed hmmatitic iron; and 2dly, as a distinct bed or vein of similar ore in a solid and undecomposed state. One of these gravelly deposits occurs at Chandghur. It covers an area of a quarter of a mile, the thickness varying from four or five feet to a mere scattering of loose pebbles. Another of these loose depo sits occurs about seven miles north-east of Chandghur, near the village s o f Bombe, and Nanera. A third deposit' of the same description is ei ward of the ri ver Towa, having a. greater thio se an either of the other two, its depth being about ten feet. The average yield of the ore is estimated at about 55 per cent. of metal. In addition to these, a regular vein, or seam, of rich specular iron is worked close to the gravelly deposit at Nanera; and this is stated`by Professor Oldham to be the most valuable source of ore in the whole district. It varies in thickness from two to eight and ten feet. The seams of iron ore cut by the Nerbudda river, men tioned by Mr. Jacob, one of which measured 122 feet in breadth, are described by Professor Oldham as utterly use less as practical sources of iron ore, in consequence of the scanty distribution of the ore, and the hardness of the rock. "I am convince,l," he observes, " that the cost of mining the ore would be ten times the whole value of the metal obtained." Professor Oldham does not agree with Mr. Jacob in the estimate formed by the latter of the inexhaustible supply of iron ore is the Poonassa and Chandghur district, but is prepared to admit " that there is a large amount of very rich, valuable, and easily wrought ores here available." A difference of opinion exists also between Mr. Jacob and the superintendent of the geological survey as to the ex pediency of selecting Poonassa for the site of an iron manu factory. Nonage being situate on the south bank of the Nerbudda, and Chandghur being on the opposite side of the river, the ore has to be brought for a distance of 12 miles, with a bad crossing of the river, where the cue has to bo unloaded from the carts, carried in baskets down to the water, shipped in small boats, carri e d up a steep bank on arrival at the other side, and reloaded in carts for con veyance to Poonassa. The price of the ore is consequently Bs. per ton at Poonassa, while at Chandghur and its vicinity it could be supplied at from 4s. 6J. to 63• per ton. The fact of Poonassa being in British territory appears to Pro • fessor Oldham to be of very trivial importance, as he could not ascertain that ther e c ou ld be any material distinction between the value of such iron works, whether situate in British or native territory. Professor Oldham farther differs from Mr. Jacob in his view as to the abundance of fuel in this district (which comprises an area of 350 square miles) for the reduc tion of the ore. The timber, he observ es , i s sma ll , and the useful or hardwood t rees form but a very small propor tion of the whole. Professor Oldham adds, " I have now seen much of the densest jungle and meat heavily wooded parts of India—in the Terai, on the n or th- eastern frontier, &c., and I have never seen an y plane whi c h, w ith ou t t h e strictest conservancy, and consequent limitation of supply, could have supplied a couple of good blast furnaces for a couple of years within a circle of eight to ten miles of the place." A calculation follows, showing the recent con sumption of fuel in the district, in proportion to the quan tity of metal poducel in the native furnaces in operation ; and after making a deduction of 75 per cent. for the more economical consumption which may be anticipated under an improved management, the professor concludes by ob serving, "So far, therefore, from Mr. Jac o b' s s t a t emen t, that the supply would last for many years, being in accord. ante with the facts, it would not, I am satisfied, keep a single furnace yielding 100 tons of iron per week in blast for many months. I would add that I feel equally satisfied that if Mr. Jacob were writing his report in 1856 instead of 1854, this would be his statement also after the experience of the intervening years • but the fact still remains that there is a large amount of iron which, were fuel accessible, could be easily economised, and it will ba worth while t o consider whether this rich ore might not with profit be conveyed to some other locality where the circumstances are more favourable. It is stated by Mr. Jacob that at Tendukeri and Jubbul pore, the inhabitants, under very favourable circumstances, manufacture malleable iron at-4/. - 16110iir ton. Professor Oldham observes that by the wasteful native method of smelting, the cost of cutcha iron, or the first produce of the smelting of the ore, 'is about 41. 12s. per ton, but that this iron when reduced to pucka or useable iron, commands a price of 121. 15s. per ton, and that these prices_ barely yield a profit on the manufacture as at present carried oat. The consideration of the question of the supply of coal within the Nerbudda Valley is deferred by Professor Old ham until he should have had an opportunity of visiting other localities. He mentions, however, that the discovery of ibis mineral in two localities where it was hitherto un known to exist, has rewarded the researches of Mr. Medli cott, who has been engaged in the survey of this district. It is obvious that the discovery of coal in sufficient quan tity, and fair quality, is the greatest desideratum, and this postulate being granted, the views of Professor Oldham in regard to the iron of the Nerbudda Valley would probably become as sanguine as those of Mr. Jacob. Xi:J.IIION IRON. The existence of iron mines in the province of Kumaon has been long known. In 1854 Lieut. Col. Drummond, of the Bengal establishment, was deputed to'this province to carry on the investigations necessary to satisfy the British public that sufficient inducement existed for the invest ment of capital in iron works in India. Col. Drummond entered on his duties on the 18th Oct., 1854, and continued his researches for a period of about seven months. His inquiries appear to have been principally directed to the Bhabur district of Kumaon, and the results may be briefly summed up as follows : In order to obviate the necessity of carriage through a mountainous country it became an object of importance to trace the existence of iron as neat the plains as possible, and ' Colonel Drummond's first inquiries were consequently di rected to the tract of country at the foot of the hills. At Dechowree, the most western point of Colonel Drummond's route, a rich iron ore was discovered, associated with clay. Hole the deposits are stated to be readily discoverable not only by the large masses lying on the surface, but also by the beds being extensively exposed by deep ravines. IA one part the solid bed of ore is exposed to a thickness of 30 feet, in another it measured 24 feet, in a third it exceeded the depth of 50 feet. " Where a bed of such rich mate rial," says Mr. Sowerby, one of the civil engineers con nected with the East India Railway Company, " is ascer tained to be at least 50 feet thick, a few feet more or less cannot be of much importance." The extent of ground examined at Dechowree was about a rejig', and the quantity of ore at and near the surface was estimated to yield, if smelted, 100,000 tons of pig iron. From Dechowree Col. Drummond pursued his course in an easterly direction, as exhibited on the annexed map, passing by Loha Bhurbur, Kaleedoongee, Chowsilla, Bee japer°, Jham, Burgote, and Burragur. The length of the Route was about 60 miles, and rich deposits of iron ore were discovered at most of these places, varying in thick nsss from 25 to 50 ft. At Loha Bhurbur the ore is associated with clay, not mere clay impregnated with iron, but solid ironstone. Huge• blocks are here represented as lying ex posed on the surface. Several of these were measured, and found to be upwards of 10 ft. long, six broad, and four feet in thickness, each of which it is said, if smelted into pig iron, would yield upwards of three tons of metal. These blocks were not occasional, but frequent and com mon over the whole distance traversed, which was a mile in length, by a width of 175 yards, It was estimated that upwards of 60,000 tons of metal would be obtained from the ore lying on the surface. The beds in the route pursued by Colonel Drummond fully show that an inexhaustible supply of workable iron ore, yielding the quality of iron which is most useful for railway purposes, can be obtained in an accessible tract, along the outer face of the lower Himalaya ranges, close to the plains. . The existence, however, of rich iron ore in abundance is neimportant, unless accompanied by facilities for working the iron and transporting it to the markets or places of shiynent. Thefie advantages are not wanting in some of the localities described by Colonel Drummond. It was consequently determined that a model mining experiment should be carried on by the Government at Dechowree, rdi n of labour, abcnr where iron ore (better suited for smelting than the purer i, one of the interior) together with fuel , limestone, fire cl a y, and n r r e Ad e t a : u 1 ypba command os e tn found futhrne a i ew n e o wr f kass great water,and aeeegly abundance. a cheap erected supplya Dechowree, beingcompleted t wo experiments were made to test its efficiency for the smeltingiof iron ore. , These trials were made in March and April, 1856, but owing to the want of experienced workmen the results were not so successful as could have been desired. The metal, however, which was taken out of the furnace when remelted " flowed out in a very liquid state into small pigs, which when fractured showed them to be iron of the very best quality, known in wtahhleidcithe can ri r x ad tu ea to s yn N iay o u . d l grey metal pigs, first quality." " The operations of smelting," observes Mprr.aSeotiweeelrby, e a"requireac quaintancelong apprenticeship a n with amountthe of f o m th a e lau subject business of a fbe n a acquired o e e b r y . p k There being but one such man (Mr. Davies) on the works, he continued to exert himself until quite exhausted, with the aid of native labourers, by whom the work was kept going for several hours ; but from the amount of physical exertion required and the heavy nature of the implements, together with the tierce character of the work, to which they were quite unaccustomed, they were unable to keel , the furnace in proper order." The qualifications of natives as smelters, it is added, " have not yet been properly tested, but from what has been seen of them, and from their previous knowledge . and their observations and remarks during the progress of wi f well o selected, the experiments, it is believed t hat they will ultim a tely become very fair workmen. But in any future work s un dertaken it would b© exceedi n g l y in judicious to depend on them ; it would be better an d more prudent to incur the expensesmelters o f a accustomed and good useful men in other d ep a rtments, could, wh en the natives were trained to take part in the work, b e th e means of extending the number of furnaces, and o th er st g e in re g e • d o u t t e a the sufficient wer numberhe, at the would i shortcoming the in respect of Europ ean workmen outset end prove to be a false economy." The facts befor e enumerated sufficiently demonstrate the exiitoce of iron ore i n mat abundance is the Bhgbur dis In despatches dated in 1855 the Court of Directors ob served—" The result of the examination of the Rajmahal, and also of the Cossyah Hills, by Professor Oldham and the other officers of the geological survey, is on the whole unfavourable as regards the existence of iron in quantities available for any extensive demand." With respect to the Damooda Valley, Professor Oldham, in his report before mentioned, arrives at the conclusion, " that, under existing conditions, the manufacture of iron, oa any efficient scale, and on the European system, cannot be undertaken in thisdistrict with a certain prospect of such a return as would justify the great outlay required. The conditions are believed to have varied considerably since 1852, as Pixieish bar iron was then selling at Calcutta at from 6/. to 8/. per ton. But Mr. Henwood, who at a later period (1854) was deputed by the Government of In .dia to inspect the Bardwan coal fields, with the view ;:o the discovery of iron ore, gives no favourable report of the existence of the metal in any abundance in the vicinity of Raneegunge. " Four of the localities," he says, "which we have examined, are, in our opinion, too poor in iron to offer any inducement to the smelter." "Others," he adds, " are not rich enough to be profitably wrought. As our search for icon has been so unsuccessful it appeared superfluous to make inquiries respecting facilities for transit." It is stated by Mr. Henwood that in the vicinity of Ranee gunge the Bengal Coal Company have already possession of the field, and have commenced the experiment of smelting iron. MADRAS. In Deceraber, 1850, the court addressed a despatch to the government of Madras, calling attention to the subject of iron works within that presidency. The Madras government observed, in reply, that the va rious reports for 17 years on the affairs of the Porto Novo Iron Company would have put the court in possession of the means and operations of that company, which were then manufacturing superior ones at Beypoor. It was added that additional capital alone was wanting to deve lope the resources of the presidency as regards iron, the loca tions of which were stated to have been sufficiently shown in the correspondence which had taken place relating to the collection of specimens for the Great Exhibition. Subsequently an arrangement was concluded with the Indian Iron Company, the leading feature of which was the grant of fresh leases for 30 yea to a new company of the districts held on lease by the old iron company, such leases to contain provisions for securing the due working of the iron ores on an enlarged scale. In 1855 some purchases of iron were made by the go vernment from tho new company at the price of 130 rupees per ton. BOMBAY. In 1850 the court directed the institution of inquiries with regard to the capabilities of Western India as regards the production of iron. The reports received in reply show that iron ore exists in many parts of the presidency of Bombay, and that in those districts iron is manufactured to a small extent by the natives for their own use. In consequence, however, of the general scarcity of fuel, and the wasteful manner in which the process of smelting is conducted, the iron imported from England seems to have the advantage both as regards quality and price. With reference to the iron of Belgaum, Professor Oldham observes : " The absence of economical fuel, and the scattered mode of occurrence of the ores, appear to be abundantly su`E cient to preclude the profitable extraction of the metal."

The only remaining meetings of importance are those at Liverpool and ShreAsbury, and they do not present any event of sufficient importance to induce many specu lators to commence "a book." During the early part of the afternoon undivided atten tion was directed to the winding-up of the Newmarket accounts, and, all things considered, the settling passed over most satisfactorily. The "Ring" had a severe hit at Newmarket, backers of horses having been most fortunate. Still, a large bulk of the money goes into . comparatively`few hands.
