THE IRON TRADE.

IMPORTANT TO IRO MASTERS

zrWeal of the 2:2(1

and '29ta llay.)
LANGUIN IRON AND COAL COMPANY.

The operations of this Company (if prosecuted
with energy) - tending to have a considerable
infinence on the imports into France of coal and
iron from:this eountry,., and the Company being
represented as having arrived at that point, by
the development of their coal-field, which justi-
fies them in considering'. the 'propriety of irnme,
1 thately erecting furnaces for the manufacture of
iron, we' have availed ourselves of the informa-
tion rendered by parties interested in the under-
taking, and more especially Mr. Nixon (the en-
gineer or viewer), in making notes of the progress
made and its present position. We observe, by
official returns, that the quantity of English coal
imported into France in the past twelve months
was 394,954 tons, the value of which may be
fairly assumed at upwards of 600,000/., and the
exports from Belgium to France, in 1838, are
given at about 400,000,00 i kilosr,Tammes. The
quantity of iron made in France, Ire find, ranges
from 350,000 tons to 380,000 tons per annum, of
which not more than one-seventh is made with
coke—the latest return made, we believe, giving
twenty-two,coke furnaces in activity, NV111C!1, with
a weekly make of fifty tons each, would give but
50,000 tons annually—and the.number of furnaces
for the n
manufacture of iron with charcoal beig
443, yielding a produce of about 300,000 tons
annually. With reference to..the; consumption
of coal„ we find, from official documents, that in
the year 1838, the quantity of coal raised in France
was 3,113,5252 tons, and that imported 1,227,030
tons—making an aggregate 0f4,340,5282 tolls. With
these data, and the statement embodied in the
paper, on the Collieries and Iron Manufactures
of Belgium, inserted in another column, it will
be at once seen the influence the development of
the mineral resources of our continental neigh-
bours must necessarily have on this Country—
and hence our directing attention to this Com-
pany, more particularly from the extent of its
resources, as represented to us.
The property possessed by the Company is
situate on the banks of the Erdre, about twenty
miles from Nantes, eae concession or grant being
seven miles in length, on the range of the coal
veins, which here take a nearly vertical declina-
tion, being 80 deg. The veins at present Ivorked,
but only partially, are three in number, Varying
in thickness of from twelve inches to sixty feet,
which is the aggregate at the point of junction,
the veins having ben worked through as one
mass of coal in certain parts of the old work-
ings. The three measures, known as the north,
central, and south veins, may be said to be com-
prehended within a space of about seventy
yards, but, as already observed, in some places
forming a junction. This coal is .said to be the
only coal known in the district of the Loire
Inferieure adapted for the manufacture of iron,
and yields 64 per cent. of coke .of superior
quality. The north vein was formerly inter-
sected at a depth of 415 feet, by a pit rank by
the old Proprietors, where the vein was found
to be 3 ft. to 3 ft. 6 in., of excellent quality; the
coal was, however, never worked at this point,
from want of mechanical power, the coming
water having so increased as to impede their pro-
gress, from the circumstance of horses only
being used for unwatering the pithy barrels.
This pit is now, however; being cleared of water
by the introduJtion of pumps, which has been
effected to the depth of 200 fQet, which are
worked by the application of flat-rods to a
powerful engine, erected on another part of the
colliery, where a deep pit, for the " winning" of
the three veins, is being sunk. Another pit,.
called the " Road Pit," was also put down,
which took the three veins, (brining a " bundle,"
and workings were prosecuted on the range to
the extent of 250 yards, but not to any depth or
consequence; the coal at this point, as, indeed,
may be said to be the case in other parts of the
old workings having rather been partially proved
than worked, and therefore still standing as
whole ground, with such exceptions as may be
found in the present statement. At Pit Emma,
which is about twenty yards north-west of the
latter, a depth was attained of 400 feet, where
the north vein was intersected—the thick-
ness of which was never astertained beyond
the size of the pit, 10ft., 3 in. by sft, Min.,
which was entirely in the coal. In this case, as
in the former referred to, on cutting the coal a
feeder of water was met with, which dro ~ ned
out the workings; and the impracticability, with
the power employed, of beating oat the water,
led to the discontinuance of favher operations
at this point. These two latter pits communicate.
with each other by levels or galieries, driven at
the respective depths of 270 and 330 feet. About
800 yards to the north-west of Pit Emma another
shaft is sunk to the depth of 320 feet, where the
coal was cut by driving a short crnss•.eat, being
found there to be about six fact thick. Want of
power, or engineering ability, in like manner, in
this case prevented the pit being sunk to a fur-
ther depth, but which is now preposed to be
done. Indeed, with reference to the three last•
mentioned pits, active operations are being car-
ried on for draining the old workings, and fur-
ther sinking the pits, by communicating the one
with the other at the lower depths. At about
130 yards further north-west another pit has been
sunk 300• feet. This pit intersected the three se-
veral
measures, or veins, at a depth of 150 feet,
where the thickness of the seams was fbrty-five
feet, and has been worked to about . eigl4ty feet 1
deeper than the point of intersection, but not to 1
any great extent in length.
Again, further north-west 300 yards, a pit has
been sunk by the present proprietors to the depth
of 000 feet, at which depth another feeder was I
cut, which rendered it necessary to discontinue I
the working for a time, until extra power was
obtained, by attaching flat-rods to the engine ;
the thickness of the vein was proved by a cross-
cut
from the shaft, at 170 feet depth, to be twelve!
feet in thickness, and which remains unworked I
until the pit-work is completed and the water
drained. We have thus been minute in detailing
the principal workings, to show the extent to
which the...olliery may be worked, provided it
was unwatered, and that energetic measures be ,
taken for extending the operations, by sinking
the present pits to a greater depth, and opening
communications by galleries, with the object 0
affording facility in drawing the water, as also
aiding the ventilation. It will be seen that the
several veins vary in thickness, as do they in
their proxithity to each other—at one time giving
an aggregate thickness of four or five feet, in
others twenty to thirty, and in some instances of
fifty to sixty feet.
The operations of the present company have
hitherto been principally directed to the sinking
of a main engine pit, and to the re-opening of the
old pits, and applying machinery for unwatering
them. The principal pit on which the large en-
gine is erected, it is contemplated will afford all
the facilities necessary for unwatering thegreater
part of the concession, and is at present sunk to
the depth of 160 feet, its size (ten feet) being di-
vided--the one part being employed fbr pinup-.
ing, and the other part as a winding pit. At the
depth of 100 feet from surface a crosscut was
driven to intersect the south vein, which proved
to be of about three feet six inches, of very supe-
rior quality, and thus affording anotlierpoint from
which to raise coal, which cross-cut will be con tie
nued -to take the central and north veins—the
coal being unworked at this part or the colliery
for several hundred yards in extent. The engine
is 'described as being equal to 350 to 400-horse
power, being 'the largest in France, and calcu-
lated to draw 300 fathoms, being upwards of four
1 iiiies the depth of the lowestpre:zent works--
' the pumps employed vaqing from ..ix to twelve
inches. , There are also two other engines,- of
English manufacture,
.one 20-horse. power and
the other 40-horse power. . , - , , - .
We are given to understand that about 70,000/..
has been expended on the-undertaking—the Ca,
pital of the company being -100,000/.—th n alea v-
ince "1.000/ lo'be called forovlnch it is intended
_ „, •,,. , •
to apply principally to the erection ofetlus iron
works. The assay made of the ironstone which.
lies at surface, and is said to extend over a traea.
of four miles, gives 43 to . 60 per cent., lied' tin!
analysis of the coal 84 per cent. of pure carliOnl'''
The property is held in perpetuity, and not snii4:,
ject to any rent or royalty.

We last iveck directed attention to the OleH
lions of this company, confining oar observatifir:s;'
However, principally to the collieries; as this is
the.only. English company (that we are aware ofp
formed for the purpose of carrying on the lawitt,,t
facture of iron or working collieries in Emery!, we,
are, glad to avail Ourselves, of the informpron
which has conic before us, and, by the'estiinitV,7l
to see. how far the extension ot works of'' thisll
character in France is calculated to airee.t'Mli''
borne interests. There can be no dotibtbut that
the successful working of this or other com-
panies in the manufacture of iron from coke,
protected as French production is by thu
Enodisli•-
itoport duty on , castings, and ma-
aery, combi nea wan the cheapness ofthe mate-
rials and low rate of labour, must, at some future
period have
a considerahlo influence on our' ex-
ports. The main question, however,

whether the quality of the iron so mat-Aurae-
tuied; and the quantity, are likely to supersed:!

turein Trance.. Raving prethised thus much, we
shall Proceed' to make such observation?, on the
't4 concession 7' obtained by the Company, and

the prospects held out from three ports mad,.: on
the district, as appear to us to be deserving of
attention.

The first which comes under notice is that of
M. Henri Fournel, Ingenieur des Mines, which
appears to have been drawn up with a,-reat care
antiprecisima'and affordsstrikingeontrast, we
I regret to say, to the reports too generally pre-

.arrived at, while each subjectmeets with
attention. We wish we. could say. as vouch. of
" reports" at home. Take, for instance, Mr.
Holdsworth's Report on the far-famed Talacre
coal and iron district, which appeared in our
columns—a Report so general, and, indeed., so
confused' that it matters little whether iL be
• real backwards or forwards. We musaa of
eoarse, . admit. that --there -are exceptions, rand
our Journal of the present week affords a -13baas-
ing instance in the Report of Mr. Mattoia.s
Dunn, on the property of the Durham -Col inty
Coal Company—that-- gentleman having :L'ear-
lessly grappled with figures, and given his ho-
nest and unbiased.: opinion. Yet, it must: be
admitted, that our continental neighbours take
the lead of us in the association of theoreasical
science with practical acquirements, and -that
in obtaining a Report on a mineral district the
parties employed combine within themsetves a
perfect knowledge of geology, mineralogy,. che-
mistry, nndere-round operations, practical in ining,
and the useful arts generally ; whereas, wi tb our
practical viewers or mine agents, it is s eldom
. that we find. them to be possessed of
other information than that acquire& un-,
AeraTound, and in one locality. The. Re-
- n
poet of M. Fournel, -to which we• have a'tready
adverted, in founding his estimates •on the pro-,
bable cost of.mauufacture of piq-iron at Li caguin,
gives a brief outline of the operations ofaGnupany
en cainnzardite, formed in 18:23, with a e;:yital of
60,000/. for working the iron ore which -abounds,
in this district, at La jahotiere, hi the cramnune
of_Abbaretz, where iron of superior quility was
made; and upon the basis furnished by the ope-
rations at those works, M. Fournel assumes the
cost of iron manufactured at Languin. Front the
observations of M. Fournel, it, however, appears
that the Company, like man: others, was grossly
mismanaged, and hence its Aissolution, .and the
abandonment of the works—the data, afforded. is. •
however, useful, in arriving at the cost of produe-
tion. `Tie ore used, which was taken exclasiVely
from the forest of Larehe, appears to have' cost
Is. 74d. per ton for extraction, carriage,.and ren-
dering fit for fiunace lase—that roasted being at--
tended- with an additional cost of :2?,d. per
ton; and, as two-thirds of the crude ore ••Ivaa natal
to one part of the roasted ore,'the- meditim cost
was that of one shilling and eightpence-halfpenny
per ton, which affords a strong contrast to the
price at which that article is rendered in .this
country, the ore of this district, it should be ob-
served, yielding in the furnace 43-75 per cent.. it
may be well to follow this experiment, for, al-
though costly, it can only be considered as such,
the furnace having been in blast only
_six wet.ks.
The flux used cost about 725. 4d. per ton, the.
greater proportion of which was cost of carriage,
and the coke was made on the spot from -coat Ob-
tained at Monzeil, the cost of which (including
7d. per ton carriage) was 15s. 7d. per tow; the
cost of a ton of coke at La Jahotiere was thus
Mund to he 11. 17s. per ton, while at Lan:4ll.'li it is
computed that it would not exceed 19s. 0(1. It
appears, on reference to the books in which the
quantities of materials used were registered., that
at the expiration of three weeks from•the furnace
being put in blast, the charges in eight hours
consisted of sixteen of coke, of 440 lbs., beim.-
eqoal to 31 tons ; sixteen of ore, of 880 lbs., or 6?-
tots; and of flux, the like number, of 2:20 lbs.,
or 12 ton, the pro.ffilce of pig-iron run being
,24
tons, or about 81 tons in twenty-four hours.- The
proportiOns of the quantities of the several in:ae-
rials, and their COit in the manufacture of one
ton of iron, would, therefore, stand thus—

Gros3amoun', cr.:elusive of interest on capital 3 2 9&being the facts • deduced from the work-
ing of the furnace at La Jahotiere, we will pro-
ceed to notice more,. particularly the property
posLessed by the Languin Company, which em-
braces not -only the iron ore thus easily attain-
able,
but coal, which may he raised at a consi-
derable ICss co :A. ',than that cited in the above cal-
culation, as hercailer shown. The: iron deposits
of this district, which is pronounced as of great
riclt~t ._a-as be seen in the proportions of
materials above named—produces 43.75 per cent.
and is found in vreat abundance at several points
--the nearest. - situate abaut six miles nori;11-
west of Langttin; the ore being described as an
oxide hycir!ote. Several .beds, in some instances
lying horizontal, resting on schist strata, in
others, diffused in a clay, from which it is readily
liberated, have been proved, and the cost of the
ore upon the spot, including payment to the pos-
sessors of the roil, does not exceed is. Bd. per
ton. The ore of the forest of Larche, the most
distant (nine tulles), it is calculated, would cost
4s. 9d. per ton delivered at Languin.

Assuming, then, that the collieries of the
Company are sufficiently opened to justify the
erection of farnaces, and to construct iron works
on a commensurate scale, the first proposition is
the cast of the materials. It is already stated
that the ore is abundant, and ca:i be delivered,
say at ss. per ton, that coke can be rendered
at less than 20s. per ton, and flux at 4s. If a
calculation, founded on the preceding figures,
showing the results at La Jahotiere, be made,
it will be seen that the cost of a ton of
pi7-iron at Languin will not exceed 21. 10s.;
to this again, must be added the cost of trans-
port , to Nantes,. which, taken at 6d,
per ton, would make the price, delivered in
that market, 31. I ls. 6d. per ton—but, from
other authorities we learn, that from arrange-
ments made by the Company, the cost of trans-
port will not exceed Me. per ton, thus making
•the-cost at lc antes about 31. per ton, being even
less than the duty imposed (al. 7s. sa.) on
English iron. We may here observe,' that the
price of iron in Nantes may be fairly assumed
at 81. 15s. to 91. 53. per ton, if the following
figures be. accurate—say, price of pig-iron put
on board, 41. 55., freight and charges 18s., duty
3/. 7s. Bd., commission, landing, and other
charges ss. Gd., profit to merchant and interme-
diate expenses, 5 per cent., or Bs. per ton ; this
would briag the English pig at Nantes to 9!. 4s.
2d., while the estimate of Languin iron but little
exceeds. 3/. per ton.
M.'Fournel advances, as a reason for recom-
mending the erection of furnaces, and the appli-
cation oc the coal to the manufacture of iron, in
preihrence to sale, of that article, that the coal
produced is entirely small coal—that a part (the
coat) has an appearance that would always
tend to :depreciate its price in the trade—and
that these two circumstances united may prove
to be..a .maia obstacle to the sale of time

sons only- judge of hall their importance who regard them.
merely as military exploits, They combined in themselves.
the' realization of the plans of a great Commander
and' :the triumph of the policy of a great States-
man. When Commodore NAPIER was first or-
*red to attack MEHEMET ALI in Syria, it is.
swell known that France was raising prodigious arma-
, molts. Regarding the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre,
which, for eix weeks successfully resisted a French.
tunny commanded by the great NAPOLEON, tiS itapreglllli-
.ble, M. TRIERS felt assured that before the Allies could.
make any impression upon it-France would be ready w.
take the
.field under the banner of the VICEROY. An.
European war was therefore imminent. Nothing short;
of the most speedy .and decisive success on., th,a
part of the British expedition could avert st.i..k;,

would be struck too late, and he immediately iseeom -
plished all that foresight could plan, brtwery
patriotism require. in a few hours he dispelled illashins

Amongst the measures contemplated for makinv-
the interior of the Regent's Park accessible to the pnblie on al.:
sides, we understand a plan has been devised for crossing what
is termed "The Ornamental Water," opposite Hanover-gate
by means of two suspension bridges, to be executed upon :e •
small scale, and upon a principle originally suggested by Dr. •
Dredge, of Bath, which is stated to combine, with grclx?.
economy of material and expense, all the lightness and stven7,ti-
desirable in such a structure.— ff Suelay paper. •
