BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Nov. 6. The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a Despatch from her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, en closing copies of two French Imperial Decrees, with re ference to the duties upon the importation of iron, and of which the following is a translation DACREE No. I.L . The admission of bar-iron, under the provisions of the Decree of the 17th October, 1855, is re stricted to bars of the following dimensions : Flat bars, of the width multiplied by the thickness, of 458 milimetres, or more. Square bars measuring 22 milimetres or more on each face. Round bars measuring more than 15 milimetres or more in diameter. Flattened iron, of irregular shape, and similar to the above, will enjoy the same freedom from duty. With the following exceptions, the under-mentioned articles will not be admitted in discharge of the Customs' Warrants : Articles manufactured from iron bars of irregular form, except those of similarly irregular shape to the bars from which they are manufactured. Articles manufactured from round bar iron, incept those which are obviously manufactured from round bar iron. Wrought iron, except such is of mere than 2 millimetres in thickness, or articles of wrought iron not exceeding that thickness. The provisions of the decree are extended only to ship builders or manufacturers of articles required for the fitting out or rigging ships. The period fixed by Article 2, of the Decree of the 17th October, 1855, for permitting the nationalization of foreign sea-going vessels, whether sailing or steam, on payment of 10 per cent. on the ♦aloe, is prolonged until the 17th October, 1858. _ _ Dueniz No. 2.—The undermentioned articles will be admitted, under the following conditions, free of im port duty, conformably with Article 5 of the Law of the sth July, 1836, if imported for Masters of Forges, Builders, or Manufacturers, who can certify to foreign orders : Rough cast iron, bar iron, wrought iron, gutters and T pieces (cornieres), steel in bars, and copper laminated, pure or with alloy, imported from abroad, to be re exported after having been applied in French manufac tories, &c., to the construction of iron ships or boats, or machines, or apparatus, whether for railways or for other works. . The above-named metals must be imported either under the French Flag, or under that of the country of pro duction. • The regulations respecting the importations of iron bars, &c., under the provisions of this decree are similar to those contained in degree No. 1, having reference to the same Articles. Importers must give real security either to re-export or to return to the depot, within a period not exceeding six months, the articles manufactured from metals admitted under the present decree, no deduction for difference of weight being allowed. In none of the above cases will metals be permitted to be imported, or the articles manufactured from them to be exported, otherwise than through the established entrc pots, or through the Custom Houses, whether those of transit or those opened for merchandise rated at more than 20 francs the 100 kilogrammes. Manufactured articles, which instead of being placed in depot, are at once export e d, s h ou ld be forwarded eiJher under the general transit regulations, or under Articles 61 and 62 of the Law of the 21st April, 1818, accordingly as they may be despatched by land or by sea.

J V ~ v COMPLETION OF THE BESSEMBR DISCOVERY. When air, either coldor heated, is forced through a molten mass of cast iron, the temperature of the mass is rapidly raised, not so much by the com bustion of its combined carbon as by the deflagra tion of the iron itself ; and when the carbon has been all or nearly all dissipated, the temperature increases to an almost inconceivable extent, so that the mass when containing only as much carbon as is requisite to constitute with it cast steel, and even when deprived of this small portion of carbon, and existing in the state of semi-malleable iron, still retains a perfect degree of fluidity. The announce ment of this fact is the sum and substance of Besse mer's discovery. Perfectly simple in itself, it had been before the metallurgical world, both practical and scientific, for centuries ; but it was reserved fa. Bessemer to develope the principle to its fullest extent ; and, in fact, though all the world knew that heated iron would deflagrate in the air, with lan intense generation of heat, no man but Besse mer had ever dreamed that blowing cold air through melted iron, without the aid of additional fuel, would raise the temperature of that iron to a I degree never before witnessed in metallurgical ope rations. A more brilliant and surprising discovery was never before published to the world. Let those who cannot appreciate a great invention, and have neither the energy, the talent, nor the perseverance to carry it out, condemn this invention ; the inven tor may rest assured that it will one day be acknow ledged, and ranked, not with, but above the great discoveries of Cort and Neilson. Bessemer's pro cess removes the carbon and silicon from the cast iron operated upon, and when the blast is properly adjusted, and a sufficient mass of metal is operated upon, the waste need not exceed 20 per cent., the remaining 80 per cent., being a kind of semi-malle able iron in a perfectly fluid state. When east ir.to blooms or ingots, and cooled, it is found that, ac cording to the nature of the pig-iron from which they have been prepared, these ingots possess either a bright, crystalline, and cold short texture ; or they present a granulated fracture, exhibiting the cold, tough characteristics of the semi-steel de scribed by the late Mr. Mushet, at page 525 of his work on iron and steel. In either case these ingots prove hot-short when forged, and, except at a high welding heat, they possess but little coherence. At the welding heat they may be rolled or drawn into bars, and these bars may be cut and piled, and be then again drawn into bars ; but the original cha racteristics of the product are very slightly, if at all, modified by these operations. Bessemer iron is, therefore, not commercially valuable. The in ventor had succeeded in expelling the carbon and silicon from cast iron, but the sulphur and phos phorus remained ; and, worse than these, a portion of oxide of iron became diffused through the mass, and imparted to it the inveterate hot short quality which no subsequent operations could expel. In other words, oxide of iron may be alloyed with purified cast iron, whilst the latter retains its fluidity, but cannot be removed or altered after the iron has assumed the solid state ; so that in ope rating upon pig iron, which contained only small doses of sulphur and phosphorus, the only hindrance to the complete success of Bessemer's splendid dis covery was the presence of the disseminated oxide of iron, and that a new oxide, not known or recog nised by chemists, who indeed, as a general rule, know little or nothing about iron and its Protean habitudes. Bessemer failed, however, to surmount this seemingly trifling but really formidable obstacle, and the consequence was, that though he had made one stupendous step in advance of the whole me tallurgical and scientific world, he nevertheless lost all credit, because he was unable to take the second step toward complete success. He was. and I sup pose is still, condemned as a visionary schemer, who has advanced a fallacious idea, and has failed to carry it out. The Bessemer discovery being thus, at least for a time, shelved and arrested in its progress, it seems to have occurred to an individual of the name of Mushet that if fluid metallic manga nese, with or without an accompanying alloy of iron and carbon, could be presented to the fluid Bes seiner iron and alloyed therewith, whilst both re tained their fluid condition, that a portion of the manganese thus alloyed would, from the powerful affinity of that metal oxygen, unite with the oxygen of the oxide of iron disseminated through the fluid Bessemer iron, and pass off as slag, leav ing the mass free from the obnoxious oxide of iron, and removing the hot short quality of the iron. At the same time, by restoring a po r ti on of carbon to th e purified mass, the mixture would become steel, free from any red shortness, and capable of being extended into sound and mar ketable bars. Mushet carried his ideas into prac tice, and with success. I have seen bars of steel thus produced from coke pig iron which pos sessed incredible toughness, and from which tin plates were made, of a quality superior to those manufactured from the fumenit cakearoosl iron. The blooms passed the rolls at the usual temperature without a flaw or crack, and perfectly free from blemishes. These tin plates, some of which I have seen, were rolled by Mr. Thomas Allaway, the eminent tinplate manufacturer at Lydney, a sta tion on the South Wales Railway. I have seen also rattlers' tools, such as chisels, mandril points, and hammers, made from this steel, and all of ex cellent quality, whilst the steel welds and works as wFjll as the best double shear. Mushet patented his discovery, and it has been before the public for Ulla year or more ; and yet not one print, literary or scientific, has condescended to notice it. So it lies a spark amongst dry faggots, that will one day light up a blaze which will astonish the world when the unfortunate inventor can no longer reap the fruits of his life-long toil and unflinching perseverance. a say literally " light up a blaze," for when the fluid metal from several blast furnaces is run into one gigantic purifying chamber, and there purified by high pressure blast forced through the molten iron till the mass is oonverted into a seething leke of liquid semi-malleable metal, the spectacle thus presented will prove to be one of the grandest sights ever witnessed, and when the semi-malle able but still crude metal shall receive its proper dose of iron, carbon, and manganese poured into it, from a separate blast furnace, and the crude mixture shall at once becom'a, as by magic, oast steel of excellent quality, then will the triumph of the inventor's process be complete. Henry Bes semer will then get crcdit for his despised process, and Robert Musk e t will be reme.rabei ed for his in vention, attention, w hic lvh at, b p a r t e e s ve ei. _ n t . isf i c ° a r t r d e s e p e o rn i t e d d e 7 etvt of t h o rth yo c Mechanics' 1:4-agazine. AQUATICS. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £6O. A capital scullers' race far the above amount (30& a side) came off ye:-..terday, over the usual above•bridge course, from Putney Aqueduct-bridge to the Ship at Mortlake. Pile competitors were both below -bridge men, ';z., 'Tames Finnis, of Wapping, and George Wade ) of Stone-;tairs, Ratcliff-highway, and have both dont a great steal, Finials especially, who rowed his present opponent last year below bridge, and went right away fr , ,m him ; it being supposed that Wade was not well at the time this present match was mad',, The Venue, Capt. Sharplm, accompanied the and was quite full, all the sp ec t a t ors appear i ng to be below-brid ge men. Thomas Day having been chosen umpire for Finnis, Mr. Salter for Wade, and Piarry Kelly, the champion of the Thames, referee, tthe men got to their stations, Finnis winning the toss, They got off beautifully toge ther at a clipping pavi (in old-fashioned boats), and were scull-and -scull for 10(1 yards, when Wade began to leave his opponent, and at Finch's was just drawing himself clear ; in this position they remained for a short distance, when Wade i7acreased his lead to about two lengths, and held it for '..lnaost a quarter of a mile. Finnie then gra dually e.,01e upon his opponent, a n d on nearing Craven Cottage wan close upon him. Wade again went away for some 200 yards, when Finnis drew up level again to C;rossing opposite the Crab Tree, when Finnie drew right ahead, and after this did what he liked with his opponent al', the way.

The 68th Light Infantry, upwards of 1,000 strong, under the command of Col. H. Smyth, C. 8., being on the eve of embarking for India in the steamship Australasian, from this port, were this afternoon presented, with now colours ou Swan sea-common by his Royal Highness the Comman der-in-Chief. The Duke, attended by Brevet-Lieut. - Col. T. H. Clifton, aide-decamp, and accompanied by Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., command the South-west district, arrived at 11 o'clock this morning, and proceeded to the Govern ment-house to breakfast with the Lieut.-Governor, Major-Gen. Scarlett. At 12 his Royal Highness was escorted to the field by his gallant host and a brilliant staff, comprising Major- Gen. Lord Wm. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the the First Infantry Brigade at the Camp at Aldershot ; Col. Forger, Royal Engineers, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen ; Col. Lake, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artillery; Lieut.-Col. Travers, Royal Artillery ; Lieut.-Col- Aitchison, Royal Lancashire Militia Artillery ; Lient.-Col. Wright, .41.ssistant-Quartermaster-Gene ral ; Lieut.-Col. Conolly ; Capt. Gordon, Aide-de- Camp to Gen. Scarlett, Town Major Breton, etc. Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., the Naval Com mander-in-Chief; Admiral the Hon. H. D. Byng, Capt. Seymour, C. 13., Flag Captain, and a distin guished general company were en the ground, although the day was truly a November one, and the field sodden with the late rains. The 3d battalion of the Scots Fusiliers formed on the right, the 68th in the centre, and the 47th on the left of the square, and the ground was kept by the Royal Marine Artillery. The old colours of the regiment were dressed in laurels in commemoration of Inkerman-day. The Commander-in-Chief was received in open square with the general salute, and the square hav ing been extended the Rev. E. W. Miner, garri son chaplain, advanced to the colours and invoked a blessing upon them. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief then advanced on horseback and gave the colours into the hands of Lieut.-Col. Blount and Major Greer, who delivered them over to lactate. (Armee and De Bannderson. They were inscribed with the names of "Salamanca," "Vit toria," " Pyrenees," " Nivelle,'' " Orthes," " Pen insula," " Alma," " Inkerman, " "Sebastopol." The Duke then addressed the regiment as fol lows Officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 68th Light Infantry,—l have much pleasure in presenting new colours to a regiment which upon all occasions has distinguished itself whenever brought into action. During the Penin sular War no regiment suffered more, or performed its duties more creditably. Again, in a recent con test which has now become matter of history, on this very day three years ago, I, myself, bad an Op portunity of seeing the distinguished gallantry of the 68th. I am persuaded that the same spirit ani mates the regiment still, and that whenever called upon to meet an enemy in the field it will exhibit the same energy and courage which it displayed at the battle of Inkerman. It is a satisfaction to me to see the regiment go out under the command of an officer in whom I have the greatest confidence, I regret that you should be again called upon to leave your native shores after so short a sojourn at home, hut the British soldier is always ready to go anywhere and do anything for the honour and glory of his ecuntry, and I am sure you will em bark as cheerfully for the distant shores of India as no doubt you disembarked when you re turned from the Qrimea. You are going to a dis tant part of itie world, but I hope you will not relax these strict rules of discipline which so dis tinguished you while at home. You have my b es t Wishes, I have participated with you in the achieve ment of great victories, and I hope to hear of your prosperity wherever her Majesty and the country may require your service." Colonel Smyth then made a s u it a bl e rep l y on behalf of the regiment, after which th e t roops on the field went through the evolutions incidental to an official it,spection. His Royal Highness after wards inspected the lines and the new barracks at the top of the town, named after himself, and which will shortly be occupied. He left Portsmouth by the 4.15 p.m. train for London. The proceedings of the day closed with a banquet given by Colonel Smyth and the officers of the 68th to the principal personages connected with the garrison, port, and district. °ants.— Tue Baer Arias ever published is how in coun t : of presentation with the D ispatch. —Maps issued previous the commencement of the seizes—Angust 9, Canton River;Oct.

All the troops, European and native, armed and disarmed, loyal and disaffected, were drawn up on parade, forming three sides of a square, and drawn up very care fully, you may be sure, so that any attempt on the part of the disaffected to rescue the doomed prison ers would have been easily checked. Forming the fourth side of the square, were drawn up the guns (9-pounders), ten in number, which were to be used for the execution. The prisoners, under a strong European guard, were then marched into the square—their crimes and sentences read aloud to them, and at the head of each regi ment : they were then marched round the square/ and up to the guns. The first ten were picked out I —their eyes wt-re banded, and they were bound to I the guns, their backs leaning against the muzzles, and their arms fastened to the wheels. The port tires were lighted, and at a signal from the Artil -I,.ry-Major, the guns were fired. It was a horrid sight that then met the eye, a regular shower of human fragments of heads, of arms, of legs, ap peared in the air through the smoke, and when that cleared away, these fragments lying on the ground—fragments of Hindoos and fragment% of Mussulmans, all mixed together, were all that re mained of those ten mutineers. Three times more was this scene repeated ; but so great is the dittgust we all feel for the atrocities committed by the re bell, that we had noroom in our hearts for any feelinil of pity ; callousness was depicted on every European' s face; a look of grim satisfaction could even be 643e11 in the countenances of the gunners serving the galls - But, far different was the effect on the native porti.° ll of the spectators; their bl ac k f aces grew g h as tly pal e as they gazed breathlessly at the awful speet sacra. You must know that this is nearly the only form in which death has any terrors for a native. If he is hung, or shot by musketry, he knows that his : friends or relatives will be allowed to claim his body, 011 " will give him the funeral rites required by his reli gion ; if a Hindoo, that his body will be burns" with all due ceremonies ; and if a Mussulman, 0 9 1 , his remains will be decently interred, as dir.sete" in the Koran. But if sentenced to death in. this form, he knows that bis body will be blown into * thousand pieces, and that it will be altogether intros" Bible for his relatives, however devoted to him, to be sure of picking up all the fragments of his ow* particular body ; and the thought that perhaps gh limb of a different religion to himself might! possi• bly be burned or buried with the remainder of own body, is agony to him. But notwithsti this, it was impossible for the mutineers' dires t hater not to feel some degree of admiration for flits will in which they met their deaths. Nothing in' their i l lives became them like the leaving of them. tcof tb e whole forty, only two showed any signs of fear, a n d they were bitterly reproached by the others Ifor..!`: disgracing their race. They certainly diedl ht; men. After the first ten had been disposed of, th e next batch, who had been looking on all the tor te ' walked up to the guns quite calmly and unfalt eringtn and allowed themselves to be blindfolded a aid tl• • up without moving a muscle, or showi ng the slightest sign of fear, or even concern. Whei zee ha d these men this strength ? Their religion, be id ** may be and is, in all other points, at le: wit ,_ l2 l - friends them well at the hour of death ; it t Le. die. them well that great and useful lesson, how tit , —Letter from, Peshawier in Blackwood's 211"at7ca s " for November.
