AN IMPORTANT INVENTION IN THE WORKING
OF IRON AND STEEL.—TWO brothers, by the name of
Laird, of Danville, Vermont, after twelve years of experi-
ment and toil, have invented a combination of minerals,
to be inserted into steel, at a proper time, whereby the
poorest quality of steel can be made into the finest edge
tool in a few moments, and all flaws in steel can be closed
up, and burnt steel immediately restored to make the best
of tools. For welding of iron or steel this preparation is
far better than borax, and must entirely supersede it, as
this preparation can be had for a very small cost. Tools
manufactured with this preparation will stand at a higher
temper for any purpose, and will last twice as long as
those manufactured by any other process. A patent has
been granted for this invention, and rights are being sold,
the rights for most of the New England States being
already disposed of. The counties of Suffolk and Essex
have been purchased by George Woodman, 159 Milk-
street, who has also in his hands, for sale, other state and
county rights of this patent, which is one of the molt im-
portant granted by the Pateut Office for years.

CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that the traffic
receipts for the half-year, ending 30th of June last,
amounted to £10,700, and for the corresponding
half of last year to £9,369, showing an increase of
£1,331, which was deemed satisfactory, as the West
Cork and Macroom Railway had not opened their
lines for traffic until the middle of June last. Owing
to Captain Huish's award there had been an in-
crease in the expenditure for the half-year of £1,396,
the directors being obliged by it to erect a new
goods store and new cattle pens at the Cork
Station ; the former being too small and insufficient
for the increasing goods traffic, and the latter was
removed to make room for building the engine-
house for the Macroom Railway Company ; also
a large number of sleepers and iron rails were
laid, and extensive repairs to the engines made, all
of which requirements were considered necessary for
the advantage and safe working of the company's
railway. The accounts, after providing for working
expenses interest on loans, &c., showed a surplus of
£1,427, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend to be paid on the No. 1 preference shares,
for the past half-year, at the rate of 51 per cent.
per annum, leaving a balance for the next account
of £lO7 ; they also recommended that a dividend
be declared on the No. 2 preference shares for 'the
same period at 4 per cent. per annum, for which
deferred dividend warrants would be issued. The
Cork and Macroom and West Cork Railway Com-
panies having opened -their lines in June last, the
directors expected very favourable results from the
additional traffic which would pass over the line.
The capital account to the 30th June showed that
£343,888 had been expended.

CHESHIRE AMALGAMATED SALT WORKS
(LIMITED).
The adjourned general meeting of this company
was held on Friday at the offices, Finsbury-pave-
ment.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that although the past half-year had
proved so disastrous to commercial and joint-stock
enterprise, still this company had been able, after
makingprovision for bad debts and having expended
large sums in repairing the works, to realise a good
profit. The company was in a prosperous condition,
and the works were in an efficient state of repair.
The report was adopted, a dividend at the rate
of £8 per cent. per annum was declared, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

was impossible to prepare him for that race. If, however,
his legs should not give way, from his extraordinary good
looks, and considerable resemblauct to his celebrated sire,
he seems likely to become ono of the most formidable
out-
siders in the race. Of the two-year-olds, tho notorious
Grand Cross is evidently being- indulged, as when
stripped in the stable afterwards, it cow -eel to us he was
being got ready for oue of the cattle exhibitions. If mus-
cular development to an extraordinary 3xLat be a recom-
mendation to a thoroughbred, he curb inly possesses an
unusual quantity, but he appears more lift-Ely to grow into
a hunter or carriage horse, or anything in Net except a
candidate likely to win a Derby. Taraban, on the other
hand, is a good-looking chestnut by Ratapl.,.n, and has the
cut of a racehorse all over, and we vonturo to prognosti-
cate for him a most distinguished career. The Wild Wind
is another nice-looking horse by Wild Dayrell, also be-
longing to Mr. Bowes. Palisade, a chestnut filly, by
Drumour out of Stockade, wants time, but is likely to
grow into a grand mare, as she has plenty of symmetry,
and cannot now bo far short of sixteen hands. Sho be-
longs to the lion. S. Hawke, and is engaged in next
year's Oaks. None of the others appeared worthy of
especial notice, uor did wo see any other horses out be-
longing to other stables at Mallon.

YORK—SATURDAY.
We had a limited supply of wheat at market to-day.
With a low temperature and very little sun, the corn crops
have not ripened much, but harvest prospects are generally
fair. There was a tolerable demand for grinding barley,
and recent currencies were easily supported. Oats were
sparingly represented, and sales were effected at about late
rates. The show of beans was limited, and there was a
slow demand at recent prices.

pROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
F(llt
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, .each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, .£2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning' - tbe prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf. •

CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that the traffic
receipts for the half-year, ending 30th of June last,
amounted to £10,700, and for the corresponding
half of last year to £9,369, showing an increase of
£1,331, which was deemed satisfactory, as the West
Cork and Macroom Railway had not opened their
lines for traffic until the middle of June last. Owing
to Captain Huish's award there had been an in-
crease in the expenditure for the half-year of £1,396,
the directors being obliged by it to erect a new
goods store and new cattle pens at the Cork
Station ; the former being too small and insufficient
for the increasing goods traffic, and the latter was
removed to make room for building the engine-
house for the Macroom Railway Company ; also
a large number of sleepers and iron rails were
laid, and extensive repairs to the engines made, all
of which requirements were considered necessary for
the advantage and safe working of the company's
railway. The accounts, after providing for working
expenses interest on loans, &c., showed a surplus of
£1,427, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend-to be paid on the No. 1 preference shares,
for the past half-year, at the rate of 51 per cent.
per annum, leaving a balance for the next account
of £lO7 ; they also recommended that a dividend
be declared on the No. 2 preference shares for the
same period at 4 per cent. per annum, for which
deferred dividend warrants would be issued. The
Cork and Macr3om and West Cork Railway Com-
panies having opened their lines in June last, the
directors expected very favourable results from the
additional traffic which would pass over the line.
The capital account to the 30th June showed that
£343,888 had been expended.

CHESHIRE AMALGAMATED SALT WORKS
(LIMITED).
The adjourned general meeting of this company
was held on Friday at the offices, Finsbury-pave-
ment.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that although the past half-year had
proved so disastrous to commercial and joint-stock
enterprise, still this company had been able, after
making provision for bad debts and having expended
large sums in repairing the works, to realise a good
profit. The company was in a prosperous condition,
and the works were in an efficient state of repair.
The report was adopted, a dividend at the rate
of £8 per cent. per annum was declared, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

THE BARGES-THEIR ADVANTAGES.

These barges were made in Pittsburg. They aro 25
feet beam, and 125 feet in length. They are to be kept in
the service of the Union Pacific Company, iu bringing
iron and ties to build a railway at the rate of nearly two
miles a day. They have made a great conquest of the
obstacles to our navigation in this, that, while in our
lowest water, boats like the Colorado cannot navigate the
river with 100 tons without difficulty, these barges can
carry 200 tons on two feet of water with ease.

Miscellaneous Arne ican News.

The Union Convention has assembled in Phila
delphia, and absorbs the interest of the country

Major General John A. Dix will, it is thought, be
president. The wig-wam, by the latest accounts, up
to 3d August, was only half finished. The dele-
gates will number some three thousand persons, and
the building will accommodate upwards of 10,000
spectators besides. The Convention is strongly
supported in the Southern States, and that it should
receive the unqualified aid of such men as the rioters
of New Orleans will cause it to be regarded with

great suspicion throughout the North. The Con-
vention may be useful if led by such politicians as
Mr. Raymond, for it will then tend to pour oil on
the troubled waters, but if it gives an unqualified
adhesion to the President's policy of reconstruction,
it will meet with the sternest opposition and con-
demnation of that party which crushed the South in
war. It is the grossest fallacy to suppose that the
Republican section will ever again allow themselves
to be ridden roughshod over by the South, and such
scenes as that enacted lately at New Orleans will
strengthen this determination. That the greatest
war of modern times should have been fought for
nothing is too ridiculous to believe. Nor is it likely
that a party that no disaster could bend during the
stormy trials of four years varying warfare should
now surrender all they gained at so heavy a cost.

The commercial interests in America have ex-

many prefer not to act at all than to act in the
dark. While Congress was sitting, an alteration
in the Tariff, or the Currency, or the Public Debt,
was not only possible, but probable, and tended
to distract trade. Commerce is now secure
for some six months, and merchants within
that period can act without fear of any

Lieutenant-Governor, or Andrew J. Herron, Attorney-
General, New Orleans : —Were the civil authorities State

clared martial law ? Could not the civil authorities, State
and Federal, enforce the law and preserve order, with the
aid of the military and without the necessity of martia
law ? I hope that order has been restored, and the rio'
not as disastrous as represented. Please show this de-

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SHERIDAN.

In order that the following front General Sheridan be
fully understood, it should be stated that he was absent
from Now Orleans when the disturbances commenced in
that city:—
"SEW ORLEANS, 1.30 p.m., August 1, 1866.—T0 General
U. S. Grant, Washington, D.C.—You are doubtless aware
of the serious riot which occurred in this city on the 30th.
A political body, styling itself the Convention of 1864, met
hero on the 30th, for, as it is alleged, the purpose of re-
modelling the present constitution of the State. The
leaders were political agitators and revolutionary men, and
the action of the Convention was liable to produce breaches
of the public peace.
"I had made up my mind to arrest the head men if the
proceedings of the Convention were calculated to disturb
the tranquillity of the Department, but I had no cause for
action until they committed overt the act. About 40 whites
and blacks were killed, and about 160 wounded. Every-
thing is now quiet, but I deem it best to maintain a mili-
tary supremacy in the city for a few days until the affair
is fully investigated. I believe the sentiment of the gene-
ral community is great regret at the unnecessary cruelty,
-and that the police could have made any arrest they saw
fit without sacrificing lives.

Navigation of the Missouri.

The 12th July marked a new era in the navigation of
the Missouri. The Railway King, who is Vice-President
of the Great Pacific Road, Mr. Durant, has won new
tributes to his sagacity and still as a manager of great
interests, by transferring his powers from the field of
building railroads to that of navigating great rivers.
Stimulated by the zeal which he brings to the manage-
ment of the Pacific Road, he undertook the work of bring-
ing increased facilities to the navigation of the Missouri—
the worst navigable stream for its volume in the world,
owing to its shifting sand-bars. The question to be solved
was whether barges could be used in the Missouri, as
they have been used in the other rivers of the country in
the transportation of freights. Mr. Durant, after an oppo-
sition to his views by the most experienced navigators of the
Missouri, by pilots, masters, steam-boat owners, and every-
body else, insisted that heavily laden barges could be made to
run in this river. Nothing would satisfy him but the ex-
periment itself, and the plan for trying it was organised
and put into execution under his direction. The result
brought to the Omaha levee yesterday the new and ele-
gant steamboat Elk Horn, having in tow two splendid
barges, fitly named the Hero and the Heroine, laden with
900 bars of railroad iron and 3,600 bushels of coal.
We regard this, as all will regard it, a great triumph in
tha navigation of our much-abused river. The friends of
the Missouri should be grateful to Durant for having vin-
dicated these mighty waters against the slanders of their
traducers, and for a result which places it on a par with
its twin sister, the Mississippi.

STAINES, WOKINGHA3I, AND WOKING.

The report of the directors states that during the
past half-year debentures to the amount of £5,900
at 41 per cent. and £3,500 at 5 per cent., had fallen
due, of which £6OO had been renewed or rebor-
rowed at 41 per cent., and £5,400 at 5 per cent.
The traffic for the half-year ending the 30th of June
last showed that the receipts for passengers amounted
to £10,302, against £8,661 for the same half of
1865, showing an increase of £1,642 ; and for goods
to £3,397, against £2,917, showing an increase of
£4Bo—total increase, £2,121. The passenger
traffic to Ascotßaces was not equal to that of 1863,
but the ordinary traffic showed a general and pro-
gressive improvement. The traffic in goods showed
an increase at each station on the line, and as
building was taking place on many parts of the
line the directors submitted that a progressive
increase , of receipts might be calculated on.
The above tolls were exclusive of the sums due
under the Reading and Wokingham traffic
arrangements, and for the toll of the Read-
ing junction line. The account for the past
half-year was credited with £3OO on that account.
The balance to the credit of profit and loss was
£4,940, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the
preference shares, and of ss. 6d. per share, or 2i per
cent. per annum, on the ordinary shares, both less
income tax, leaving a balance of £262. The divi-
dend on the ordinary shares for the corresponding
period of 1865 was at the rate of 2 per cent. per
annum. The capital account showed that £393,727
had been expended.

LYNN AND lIITNSTANTON.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Lynn on Saturday. The report stated that in
consequence of the cattle plague and the late cold
spring, the traffic had declined during the past half-
year. The opening of the West Norfolk Junction
would bring additional traffic on the line. The re-
ceipts on revenue account during the six months,
ending June 20, had been £3,779 ; and after pay-
ment of working expenses to the Great Eastern
(£1,840), and providing for debenture interest and
other charges a balance of £1,227 remained avail-
able for dividend. Out of this balance the directors
recommended a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum, leaving £27 to be carried to the credit
of the current half-year. The dividend recom-
mended was declared, and the proceedings closed
with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.
