the table and the projecting step, the effect of which is very

ornamental carvings. The table and the projecting step

During this the air driven in at the bottom is con.smned
by the combustion of the lower layer of coke, and the car-
bonic acid formed losing part of its oxygen in passing
through the next layer of coke, is converted into carbonic
oxide, by the aid of which and the high temperature, the
iron is reduced. At the moment of its reduction to the
metallic state, it is most probably quite pure, and would
require a much higher temperature for its fusion. As the
spongy mass of iron falls lower down in the furnace tD its
hottest part, it acquires the temperature necessary fur the
combination of iron and carbon. This takes place, and the
cast iron formed being fusible at a much lower degree of
heat, runs into the bottom of the furnace with the slag,
and is let out as often as is necessary by opening a hole at
the side.

pedestal, is a splendid candelabrum, of gilt brnnza, about
6 feet high, executed in the manufactory of Mr. David Hol-
lenbach, of Vienna, and holding each from 30 to 30 lights.
Each candelan.-um consists of a kind of sock, very rich, and
divided into thn e parts, each of which sustains an elegant
statue ; consequeatly, there are three statues which embrace
and support branches of rising plants. Above these statues
the branches expand in large leaves and flowers, which,
forming groups, preseat to the view three divisions, termi-
nating at their summits in bouquets of flowers, destined fOr
holding the wax candles. They are cast in one piece, and
have an exceedingly strikintv effect.
The chairs, of which there a.ec thirty. six, are very rich. Ono
of them is, as a pattern, cover& with silk stuff, the design of
which was drawn by M. Benin do de Bernardi., the archl-

in his manufactory at Reifenberg, near Ling. All the other
chairs am for the present covered with another and rums

Pietism—The French Commission is unwillity to quit
Great Britain without expressing once more the sentiments
with which it regards your Royal Highness.
The great idea of the Exhibition is yours. The &Acui-
ties of rendering it acceptable in England were immense ;
you have surmounted them by the reason which convinces
and the grace which persuades.
To the Royal Commission, composed of men the mat
eminent in special departments and statesmen experionc,xl
in the conduct of difficult undertakings, you added the exe-
cutive committee, of which we arc unable to speak in tarns
of sufficient praise. We admire the rare ability it distil:led
in the accomplishment of the unparalleled task of rearing,
tarnishing, and organising a palace, and all within so
short a period. We love to praise it for its perfect urhanisy
towards strangers, an urbanity which has twen displayed
from the highest officers downwards to the garden de polies,
who might well have been named garde* de fa ?vides**.
Exhibitors and visitors of all countries have been
touched by ono most gracious spectacle—the flattering cu-
riosity and the indefatigable benevolence with which her
Majesty, conducting her august family, has, during three
months, pursued to completion her inspection of the exhi-
bitions of different nations. Husbands and fathers, we
have been moved while observing how happy was the
Queen to add to her crown a jewel more precious than all
the rest by conquering suffrages and good wishes among
the representatives of all nation., in favour of a work which
she treasured as that of the father of her children.
One word on our functions. Three hundred and forty
jurors, taken from all nations, have employed 62 days in
profound examinations, and discussions the most earnest, in
order to achieve the delicate task of judging of the products
of forty nations.
We, the French jurors, should have liked to see rewards
of the first class given for beauty, exquisite grace, perfec-
tion, without prescriptions of any kind.
We have striven that restrictions and interdictions should
be us limited as possible, without exciting repuldons, re-
pugnance*, and commercial apprehensions, even in Eng-
land.
In the classes of industry in which all the orders of recom-
penses announced by the Royal Commission were possible,
we have sought to secure the triumph of distributive

The characters of the product depend in a great measure
upon several apparently trivial circumstances, the shape of
the furnisee, the freedom of the coke from sulphur,
de. The dil6..reetee between the white and the grey cast-
iron does not appsor to be so much a consequence of the
quantity of carbon in them, as of the state in which it
exists. Altogether it appears probable that the differences
between cast irons, malleable iron, and steel, will be more
easily explainable physically than chemically!; much, how-
ever remains to be done before the point can be satisfac-
torily determined.
Among the most important improvements which
have recently been introduced into the iron mann-
facture, that of heating the blast, holds a prominent
place. The cold air which is forced into the furnace
sorbs a considerable portion of the heat developed by the

combustion of the coke. Neilson was the first to propose
the heating of the air previous to its entering into the
fie:mace. Ile made the experiment at the Clyde and Calder
Iron Works, near Lilasgow, and soon found that not only
could raw coal be used instead of coke, but that the con-

sumption of fuel was reduced to less than one-half. Since
that time the hot blast has been adopted at many iron
works. Circa difference of opinion, however, still exists en
the subject, and still further investigation is necessary to
determine whether the hot blast eau be employed witbout
injuring the quality of the iron, and making the smeltaig
more difficult. The combustible gases which escape from
the mouth of the furnace have hitherto received but little
attention, and it is only within the last few years that their
' composition has been examined, and an attempt made to
make theta serviceable as fuel.

At lUCt'l.Trlt.\l. IMPLEMENTS IN THE ENIIIRITI9N.
—ln this department there is an oat-huruiscr and chi/r-
-einter combined, the invention of M. F. do Porquet, and,
manufactured by Mary Wedlake and Co. The chair-cutter
is put in motion by means of the common fly-wheel—be-
tween whieh and the broker is a connecting rod, and by
the application of a lei Cr and clutch, the action of either or
both these machines is at once secured. The article
is alike useful and ingenious, and reflects credit on
its intelligent inventor. A registered challeutter, in-
vented and manufactured by Mr. Comes, ref' Nantwich,
has a prize medal OWaTtiell to it. The peculiarities of this
machine arc that it is furnished with three knives, is
applicabbsto hand, horse, or steam-power, and cuts five dif-
ferent lengths of chatf, one of them of four inches, fur litter.
A registered gorse-cutting and seed-bruising machine, de-
signed and manufactured by Mr. Burrell, of Thetford, is
also deemed worthy of a prizo medal. Hitherto gorse, as
food for cattle, has nut liven available to the extent it ought.
for want of a contrivance to prepare it in an efficient
manner, and in one operation; and Mr. Hamill has hero
produced a machine fiely adequate to ace plish this
desirable result. The machine first cuts the gorse as chaff,
and then passes it through a large pair of rollers, ono of
which has a pressure upon it of four tons weight, by meaus
of which the gorse is compressed end reduced to a pulpy
condition. An undeniable advantage of this implement too
is, that it can be driven by horse, steam, ur manual power.
With two-horse power, one man and a hey ran prepare
six cert. per hour. Its utility and value to the occupiers of
light soils are scarcely to be over-estimated. Tlw iron
ploughs are in gi-neral remarkable for their lightness,
strength, and simplicity • but they present few improve-
ments, except in minor details. Somewhat of a novelty in
one or two of those exhibited by Mr. Howard, of Bedford,
is to he found in the facility which it gives by means of a
screw and rod for raising or lowering the point of the sham.
In an adjoining avenue, Class ti, Mr. Cruskill shows a
patent steam-mill, for whir!, we perceive the Comenissiunem
have adjudged him a prise medal. This machine is Citillible
of grinding both mineral and vegetable substances; and it
deals with coprolites, pottery, flints, and corn, in an equally
effective manner. Its extraordinary crushing power is
chiefly derived front the grinding plates being worked with
an " eccentric movement." as it is termed.
This. Ant:RICAN lIEAVING NIAUIIINE was on Wed-
nesday tested upon the farm of Mr. Dray, of the firm of
Deane, Dray, awl Co., in the presence of a large number of
pe,SOOS lisseMlittli to willies, the experiment. 'rho of
wheat selected for the experiment was steep, situated upon
the side of a hill. The machine, drawn by two horses, and
attended by two men, rut with case at the rate of line tiers
twe hour. Ender more favourable circumstance+ the in-
ventor stated that it would 110 from fifteen to twenty acres
per day. The perfOrmance appeared to giro the greatest
satisfaction to all present. Mr. Ilelshaw, the general super-
intendent of the Exhibition, Mr. Naiimith, C.E., Mr. Thom-
son, awl Mr. Biddle, of the machinery department, were
present, for the purpose of watching the progress of the
experiment.
In all probability machines for reaping will shortly
ionic into very general use in this country, as the
practicability 01 applying machinery to such a purpose is
now put beyond all doubt. In addition to the corn reaping
machines shown in the United States department, Mr.
Garrett has a corn reaping machine in the Exhibition,
to one which has been daily employed during the
past week upon a farm near the Lriston Works, Suffolk.
It is void to have 'went:mud the work so WrfeCtly—cutting
the corn with case sad regularity, and leaving
the stubble even and regular, in a way far
superior to manual labour—that it was altogether
impossible to form an adequate idea of its eapabili-
ties without seeing it in operation. It has b. en worked on
lands ploughed on the flat as well as in stetelics, length-
ways and across the furrows, and in every ,use the result
has been ritually satisfisctory. The machine will continue at
work during a portion of every ilay on the farm of Messrs.
Garrett and Sun, near the works ut Leiston, cutting the dif-
ferent ere" until Monday, the 25th inst., where it may be

Playfair and Damien have studied the gaseous products
of the English furnaces, and several other chemists those of
the continental ones. The result has been that the fur-
naces have been so constructed as to allow this gas to be
collected and applied either to heating the boilers of the
blowing machine steam-engine, roasting the ore, or in the
puddling furnace fur converting the raw cast metal into
malleable iron.
The Ebbw Vale Company have sent a model which illus-
trates the const.mction of the furnaces used in their works
and the arrangement of the blowing machines, steam-
engine, and apparatus fur carrying MI the furnace gases
into reverberatory focuses fur combustion. The conver-
sion of the raw metal into malleable bar iron consists in an
abstraction of the carbon and silicon of the former. The
process by which this is effected depend: upon the fact that
these two subminces are more combustible than iron.

justice.
Art is, like Nature, far from showing herself exclusive.
She loves to scatter her gifts among the children of great
national families. We rejoice in this diversity, which per-
mits us to honour on different grounds, genius, taste, imagi-
nation, reason, iu nations whose brilliant variety constitutes
the riches and splendour of the human race.
Fr-nehmen ourselves, and proud of the title, we are not
of those cosmopolites wh., suppress the sentiment of country
to substitute for it nebulous abstractions and adore a labia
yarn. We are not of those who dream of a future in which
all the sacred types which characterise races i.n.l nationalities
arc to disappear. Grandeur and beauty would vanish from
the earth ifut a magic stroke all its mountains were brought
low and its valleys exalted ; while its animals, plants, and
men, all become of one colour and stature, would sink to a
miserable state of existence under the law of uniformity.
But each nation, without affecting its character, may add
to it well-being, its riches, its power, by judiciously bor-
rowing from the discoveries and the improvements of other
nations, and such in reality is the nature of the service
which the Universal Exhibition has been preparing us to
render one another.
Here earls people sees its products side by side with those
of all others, and often sees them surpassed. Pride, which
grows while favoured by isolation, is ha re abased, and
reason profits by the opportunity. Each nation, instead of
dreataiii; of self-sutteiency and inborn superiority, tool to
improve in the future. Thus we shall see new efforts
attempted in every country to ameliorate the productions of
the human race.
Behold, then, the wide-spread and immense benefits
which will have taken their rise front the first idea of your
Royal Highness, benefits for which we again express our
lively gratitude.
Let mac be permitted to add to this letter one word of
personal acknowledgment. The indulgent benevolence
with which you have honoured the President of the French
Commission, has borne its fruits; that alone can explain
the too flattering distinctions which he has received, and
which far transcend his feeble merit.
I have the honour, &c.,
CHARLES' DUNN,
President of the French Commission.

On the continent an open charcoal tire k employed ; the
pigs of iron are laid upon the top and subjected to the
action of a blast of bat air, a part of the metal is oxidized
during the fusion, and by the reaction of that upon the
reutaining metal the carbon of the whole is removed

Repeated attempts have been made to use coke instead of
charcoal iu this process. but never with satisfactory re,ults.
In Ragland the puddling process is substituted fur this
one, in COnhelltlCllCe of the scarcity of wood.
Mr. Curb was the first to attempt the conversion of
cast into malleable iron. At first he employed only a re-
verberatory furnace; but this consumed a large quantity of
fuel, and the results were irregular and uncertain. This
inconvenience he afterwards removed, by adopting a re-
fining process with coke previously to the puddling.
The metal is fused in contact with coke in a rettangular

crucible, which is cooled externally by a current of water,
and a blast is kept up front tuyeres at the side. During
the operation a 'gag is formed by the oxidized iron and the
ashes of the coke, which exercise a decarbonizing action
upon the melted east iron beneath it. When the whole
of the metal is melted the blast is urged on the surface
until the workman sees that the relining has gone far
enough. The metal is then run into rakes, and rapidly
tooled by water; it is then white and brittle, and its cum-
. position has suffered considerable change. The greater part
of the carbon, and nearly the whole of the silicon hare been
removed.

CONTENTS OF TIIE GLASS PALACE

NIETALLURGY.—IRON.
'fha ores of iron arc few in number, and consist for
the most part of combinations of the metal with oxygen.
The magnetic oxide, found abundantly in the older gvulo-
gica formations—in Sweden, Russia, parts of Uermany,
and India—is ono of the most valuable, yielding metal
of remarkably good quality : the specular ore, a remarkable
deposit of which occurs in the Island of Elba, and has been
worked for upwards of two thousand years: the red and
brown limmatiles, which were formerly the only ores worked

The puddling is conducted in furnaces where only the
flame is allowed to come into contact with the metal, which
s mixed with ferruginous slag, or iron scales, and expored
to an exceedingly- high temperature, while it is continually
stirred about with a lung rake, until it begins to assume a
pulverulent aviet. It is then gathered together in balls,
and beaten out into bats under a hammer of great weight.
Several modifications of the apparatus for working the
paddled iron have been invented—rollers, presses, &c. The

in England the compact carbonate, or spathose ore, of
which there is an immense mass called the steel mountain
in Westphalia. These ores, and some few modifications of
them, take the first rank at far as regards their richness,
and the quality of the metal they yield.
These are not, however, the only circumstances which
determine the value of iron ores: the facilities for obtaining
suitable fuel and other materials fur smelting arc of far
greater importance, consequently the clay iron stone of the
coal formations is now the naurce from which the greater

most recent and effectual is the steam hammer of Mr.
Nasiuytli, which is exhibited at the north side of the build-
ing among the machinery. During the process of puddling
the iron is rendered almost pure ; to convert it into steel
carbon is again introduced into it. This is done by what
is termed cementation: the bars of iron an, covered with
charcoal and exposed to a strong heat, they arc after-
wards bound into bundles, and hainniered and twisted
until their texture is uniform. The steel so made is called
shear steel. On the Continent steel is made directly from
oast iron. .

MUsTeAL INsTRIMF.NI-I.—A very interesting ad-
dition has, within the last few days, been made to the
collection of musical instruments in the gallery, by Mr.
Hack, of Hart-,treet. It consists of a semi-toned
folding harmonieon, of which he is the patentee and
m inuLteturrr. The instrument is formed of two parts
or lengths joined together by hinges, to admit of their fold-
ing together into a desk.shaped and ornamental levee of

strument is provided with nu Wended range of the diatonic

as much metal as those mentioned above, and sometimes
even much less.
This ore is essentially carbonate of iron, mixed with a
greater or less quantity of clay. It is found in beds or
layers of nodules, alternating with strata of limestone and
coal in England, especially in South Wales, StafLodshire,
Shropshire, and Scotland, which arc the principal seats of
the iron manufacture. Mr. Blackwell, of Dudley, exhibits
a large and very interesting collection of the several va-

that frequent emssing of the hammer by the performer

delightfully performed upon it by a young lady, afforded
considerable pleasure to those who were fortunate enough
