IROlf BY BESSEMER'S PROCEBB.—A sample of
railway bare made at the Dowlab Works may now be HIM

matter. The rail is what is called a foot rail, weighing 60 lb.

turning out thoroughly good rails. It mast be evident that
the labour thus expended was little more than half that

we think there retains nothing to be desired. We also
have examined samples of tin plate, annufacsursd by
Mews. Phdlip, Smite, end Co., at the Dafen Tin Plato
Works, Lithelly, and their appearance indicated a quality
quite equal to that made from chareml iron. We under-

and that •vory large mid irity of those present agreed is
bearing testimony to the excellent quality of the samples
