Claims on FraRce.-We are informed from
Washington, that the period for the execution
of the Convention with France for Identities
on account of spoations on American Com
merce will be prolonged in consequence of an
arrangement made between the two Govern
ments through the medium of our Minister at
Paris.
The distribution Of the funds payable by
France, will take place Immediately at the re-
ceipt; and there is reason, we are given to I'M
derstand as well from the disposition OF the pre-
sent French Chamber of Deputies, as from the
state of our relations with that country, to deem
that the amount ofthe first instalment will be
speedily rendered available.-BaH. Republican.

important Discopery.-We are informed by
two gentlemen who lately passed through Sy-
racuse, New York, that Mr.. Avery, the proprle-
tor of an extensive iron foundry in that place,
has made very important discovery in rela-
ton to casting of iron. The best kind of earth
used in foundries is brought we believe, from
Canada Mr.. Avery analysed this EARTH and
found it to contain certain proportion OF
blue clay.
Following this up by a series ofexperiments,
he discovered that if common fine sand was mix
ed with common blue clay in the proportion of
one-tenth part of clay to nine-tenths of sand, it
would constitute the best possible composition
for casting that he had ever used Even the
most delicate castings came out perfectly free
of sand, and required no sort ofcleaning by vi
triol He dismissed ten of his cleaners on the
spot Mr.. Avery has taken out patent for his
discovery, and estimates that his composition
will make an immense saving in the expense of
iron foundries-in the diminution oflabor, the
cheapness of the sand, and the disuse of vitriol
in the process of cleansing = BratteborO Mess.
