driven by the power Of the engine. Whilst we were
present Saturday se'nnight, the workmen were |
engaged in forging new shaft for the Charter Oak,
weighing, we believe, seven tons.liis ias u0
In other parts of the establishment the men were
at work upon the pipes forthe Croton Water Works
which are 81 inches in diameter in the clear, feet
long, and weigh two tons each. Sugar millframes,
boilers for steam engines sugar boilers, shafts can
bombs, Shells and shot, lay about the premises

house, there is beautiful sugar mill engine on the
low pressure principle, with portable condenser;
il is most admirably finished, and ornamented with
Ionic columns, and One small column to support
the Governor. A handsome high pressure engine Of

and occupying but few feet Of space stands by the

Such is the nature and extent Of this establishment
and its machinery. The iron in the first instance
is obtained from Woodbury. and Greenwood, one

there. The magnetic iron ore is mostly used, con-
tanning from As to so per cent Of iron. The iron
is all smesd by charcoal, and iron is therefore pro-

clay fire brick, and have red sand stone hearth;

mixture Of sand Each furnace will turn out five
tons Of pig iron at two tappings every "A hours, and
run off about 1900 tons at blast Of IA months
The furnaces blown off at various periods of from
to 10 months duration. The coal used in the iron
works is brought from Virginia, and is worked up in
two well-constructed coke ovens, Superior to the
English coke hearths which turn out four chaldrons

the Highlander, the Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Char

structed here, it 10 needless to add that the work
turned out of this foundry be surpassed any
part of the world. The fact that the Fulton was
only built to go nine miles hoar, and has run IA
miles by the logs striking proof Of the triumph Of
American manufactures, and the skill Of American

Tx SrREETs.-A great noise is made about the
streets in the papers, and in the streets make
great smell. One great stir deserves another.
The fact is the streets Of New York ought to be |
swept once day, and must be swept once day all
through the summer; and not only must they be !
swept, but the dirt must be removed out Of the
streets after il is swept up in heaps and not left
there till putrefactive fermentation takes place III
the Corporation cannot have this done thus there
are plenty of private citizens who will farm the
streets.
THE Crr PRisoS.-we visited this establishment
on Friday, and feel il duty to bear testimony TO
ITS cleasly and well ventilated state. The authori.

the numbers Of its inmates a low as possible. On
Saturday night there remained within the walls l02

sroes, female ditto. In the Of the week SO
