1RoN SnIrs.--The public attention hal
for number Of years, been directed t,
the experiments IN progress fer testing tL'
practicability of constructing various kind,
Of water craft, with iron as the princpa
material. In these experiments, Grea
Britain aided by her great capital, and the
cheapncss of iron has taken the lead, while
our country has been anXiously ly wa ling the
dawnings fsuccess, to put in her hand ant
strive vigorously for share of the harvest
We believe the time has now arrived, wher
the success ofron ships can be no longer
considered doubtful, nor, do we believe the
time will be long, before lake Erie will beal
on her bosom, crafts which will stand as high
in the comparison with other iron vessels
as her elegant steamers now do when com.
pared with any that float the waters. The
enterprise that Newberry, a Reed or o
Walker has already displayed, gives evi
dence that nothing but true understanding
of the subject is necessary to bring about
this consummation SO much to be desired
The following from n Liverpool paper, will
give some idea of the success that has at
tended experiments in England.
IRoN SHIps.-We last week furnished q
brief account of the successful voyage OF
the Ironside iron ship, hence to South
America and back, the first vessel of that
material that has yet crossed the ocean, and
the interest and curiosity which she has
since excited induces US to submit few ad-
dtional particulars. The Ironside, Capt.
Mitchell, now lying in Georges Dock, op-
posite Brunswick street. has throughout
the week been visited by vast numbers Of
persons of all classes, including merchants,
shp-owners, and marine surveyors, and her
light and elegant structure and equipments,
together with her extraordinary capacity
for stowage, Notwithstanding the sharp
ness" of her build, have been theme of no
little wonder and admiration. There is
great probability, indeed, so successful has
been this experiment Of an iron vessel in the
several requisites Of roominess of hold,
quickness of sailing, strength, extreme
buoyaney, and perfect safety even in the
gales, that the construction Of 9TH
ar sea going vessels Of the same material is
llready IN contemplation, and from this ship

THE MAuMEE CRY INSURANCE CoMpA-
rY.--At The request of the stockholders Of
the above institution we publish upon our
first page, the charter under which they
act, and by which they claim their priviie-
ges. From this document our readers may
satisfy themselves better than by any con-
struction which we could put upon it. 1t
is sufficient for us to say, that there are Sc
veral institutions in this state, now engaged
in the business of banking, whose powers
for SO doing are no more fully expressed
than those of this, and yet, they have the
opinions of several of the most eminent le-
gal gentlemen in the state in their favor,
and enjoy the confidence ofthe public. By
u bye-law of the corporation the bills are all
printed with the common seal, and we are
happy to know, that payments have always
been made in gold and silver on demand, and
that, SO far, the issues of the institution
have been made with prudence. The fol-
Lowing is an extract from bye-laws spoken
of.
= Sec. z. Whereas the Charter Of the
Maumee City Insurance Company pre-
scribes no rule or order for using common
seel in the transactions Of business, except
in the issuing of notes, bills and contracts
for the payment OF money. 1t is therefore
resolved by the presidents and directors of
said Maumee City Insurance Company, that
all notes, bills and contracts issued by the
company, shall contain a seal, which seal
shall he, or represent to be, female head
and bust, containing on the right shoulder
L. s. being the initials of lawful seal, and
be surmouhted and in part surrounded with
the words Maumee City Insurance Compa-
ny; such bills, notes and contracts, as afore-
said, shall be signed by the President and
Cashier of said Company, and at all times,
when presented at the Office of the compa-
ny for redemption, be paid in specie, or its
equivalent at the option of the holder.

WooD CuuNTY.-The term OF the court
commenced on Thursday ard ends this day.
There was large number of causes on the
calendar, several of which are of impor-
tance. We have only time to notice the
case of Nancy Gunter against George
Gunter, for divorce. George, it seems
was for several years inclined to take more
drops than was for his good, and though
often getting on a scale did not act exactly
according to Gtmter, and finally, about two
years ago, abandoned, and became settled
resident IN parts unknown. The court
held that proofof three years wilful absence
was necessary to sustain charge'ot aGan-
donment, and was about TO dismiss the Pc
tition without prejudice, when the attorney
for the petitioner begged suspension, as
he wished to prove adultery; though whelh'
er upon the plaintiff or the defendant, the
court or the world at large did not appear
from the statement.
