THE LATE HENRY CORT'S FAMILY.

The family of Henry Cort claims compensation
from the British nation for the unjust forfeiture of
their father's rights. This Henry Cort was the
inventor of the process for the conversion of pig
iron into malleable iron by the flame of pit coal
on the puddling furnace. Before his time our iron-
masters were compelled to employ charcoal for
fuel. Having thus got pig iron into a malleable
condition, Henry Cort invented a further process
for drawing it into bars by means of grooved
rollers. In other words, he reduced the labour and
cost of producing iron ,to one-twentieth of what
they were before his day, and the iron was of a
better quality. How, it may be asked, can the
children of such a man be in want ? How is it
they are, not among the wealthiest of the land ?
The answer is this :—Mr. Cort had. entered into
partnership with a certain Mr. Adam Jellicoe, at
the time Deruty-Paymaster of the Navy. Jellicoe
advanced money, and was to receive in return half
the profits of the trade. Cort assigned to him,
besides, his patent rights as collateral security.
In the year 1789 Jellicoe died, and was found to
be a public defaulter. The Navy Board issued
"extents" against the trade effects of Cort and.
Jellicoe, and confiscated. Cort's patent rights, which
they treated as valueless. The hardship of the
case was this—a property which should have been
estimated at the value of £250,000 was forfeited to
insure payment of a debt which the estate would
have satisfied seven or eight times over had it
been fairly handled. Nobody but the ironmasters
profited by this mismanagement, and the Corts
were ruined. It should be emphatically remarked
that it is not even suggested Cort had anything to
do with Jellicoe's defalcations. He was purely the
victim of a swindler ; but, although it might be
right to cause the firm to refund the sums in which
one of the partners stood indebted to the public, it
was utterly wrong to destroy the noble fortune
which this ingeniuus man had won by the force of
his intelligence and industry. England is indebted
for a very large share of her present prosperity to
Henry Cort's inventions, but now his four surviving
children—all of them being persons about seventy
years of age—are beggars, and only saved from
the poorhouse by pensions amounting in the aggre-
gate to £9O per annum. There should be more
gratitude in an iron age to the children of Henry
Cort.—Times.

KOSSUTH UNDER THE , SURVEILLANCE OF THE
FRENCH POLlCE.—Without undertaking to vouch for the
accuracy of the statement, we have received the assurance,
from a usually well-informed source, that Kossuth is just
now in Milan under the surveillance of the French police.
If this be true, what a change ! It was only two months
ago that the Magyar Chief was the guest and friend of
Louis Napoleon in the Tuileries, and less than four weeks
have passed away, since he was again the friend and confi-
dant of the Ruler of France, in qc,194. 44c1 yet, we, are
assured from, we repeat, a well-informed source, that he is
at this moment under the surveillance of the French police,
in obedience to the behests of the same Louis Napoleon I—
