MANUFACTURE OF IRON.

The following article, from the Lon
don A1ining Journal, Of February 5th,
will claim the attention of those en-
gagged i'll the Iron trade in this coun-
try.
We are indebted to a correspondent
for tabular statement of the number
OF iron furnaces, in blast and out OF
blast, in the districts of South Wales,
Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Forest of
Dean, to which we shall give insertion
IN our next; trusting, in the interem, to
be able TO perfect them bv additional
Information from Scotland ,Derbyshire,
&c. AS the table before US, however,
embraces a vast extent of Countrywide
number OF furnaces in South Wales
and Stafordshire alone being 2S7-it
may be well to note the proportion
being formed Of the prospects Of the
trade, and the chances of better prl-
ces being obtained; while it is satlstac-
tory to find that, at late meeting OF
the Stafordshire Iron masters, rise
of los per ton on bars had been deter
mined on, in addition 10 an advance
of IS. which took place some slime
since.
We find that Of 159 blast furnaces
in South Wales capable at making, in
the aggregate, 100000 tons year,47
are out of blast, 81 on reduced make,
and 81 in full blast. In Staffordshire,
which reckons 12S furnaces, 46 are
blown out, and the remaining SO in
blast, have reduced their make 25 per
cent. In Shropshire, % furnaces are
in blast on reduced make, and 10
are out and in Dean, two furnaces
are in blast and 5 are out-making fol-
these four districts an aggregate of 32f
furnaces; which, assuming an average
make of70 tons a week each, for fifty
weeks in the year, would give upward;
of l, LAO, 900 tons per annum. From
the proceeding date it will be seen tina
of tie $50 furnaces, 21S only are in
blast, many Of which are an reduced
make-there being no less than los fur
naces, or about one-third, out of blast
the proportions being nearly equal il
the three principle districts.

the patronage of the Agriculturist has al.

and we have many demonstrations that it
had been useful wherever il has been read.

ers and Mechanics, we expect to discuss
more fully than has yet been done in
America; ii will be our object to clearly
define the true policy for working men
generally, and especially for the laborlng
class in Tennessee. This will lead US to
examine whether Tennessee is intended
as planting, or provision growing and
manufacturing State, or both. We shall
still dwell much upon The improvement Of
the soil, aad fully investigate the science
Of breeding and rearing domestic animals.
Horticulture will receive strict and con.
slant attention. In a word, it is our in.
ienlon to expose error of every descrip.
means, calculated TO improve the physical,
moral, intellectual, and pecuniary condl-
ton Of man. and we will use every eXer-
ton 10 make the AgrlcuIturist the very
best paper in the country.

gathered the above facts, state that al
branches Of the cotton manufacture are
at present in a state Of miserable de-
preston. Notwithstanding the low
price of the raw material, their stocks
have accumulated TO a most inconveni-
ent degree, and without the slightest
hope or profit threaten them with hea-
Wy loss. They attribute this depres-
sion in a great measure, to the deran-
ged state of the currency throughout so
great a portion ofthe United States, and
10 the glutted state Of foreign markets,
arising out of over production, and
over-trade to this branch of manufac-
turers il England.
They think, however, that the late
reductions of the tariff, with the con-
sequent heavy importation, and the I'M
certainty which hangs over the procee-
dlngs of Congress on that question, add
very much TO the gloom and appre-
tensions which now attach to this in
lerest' 1hey appeal TO Congress to
try new experiments with this great in
lerest, when the whole or principle eff
feet of so cutting down the tariff as TO
the imports of cotton manu-
lectures, would be the substitution of
goods made from inferior foreign cot

staple. That such policy, they add, |

lives Of The cotton growing States at

e We listened,withIthe greatest pleasur

worthy OF the man and of the times; i
was filled with poetry and religious fer

ton from a vast and intellectual an,
dience.
The eloquent divine considered wo-
man as she IS. He then drew COM
Parlson between the Heather and the

SO much better than we can, we
will give short extracts of his own
words-'"OrIent pearls at random

"Woman occupies a distinguished
place in the worlds history. She is
the theme of the poets and historians,
the philosophers and statesmen of ev-

strumentality millions have been con-
Quoted TO the pinnacle of earthly glory

"Kingdoms have been lost ap Mon
by the witchery of her chuMs, and
halt the battles of the earth have been
the work of her follies or her crimes

exhibits, and the glorious precepts she
Inculcates, have given her a power over

woman has been the same, her spirit
like the sunshine--her love as the fires

Again:
"Christianity, by raising woman to a
community of rights and interest with
nan, has not taken from her the oriei-
lal attributes of her sweet nature-it
las taken the lowly shrub from the sun

INVENTION In PRINTING


A late number of the London Pha-
lanx has the following paragraph rela-
ting TO a new invention connected with
the art of printing:
"Among other interesting move
ments, we may mention the fact, that
the Phalanx has sbeen composed in
type OF a newly invented composing
machine; and ii is the first piece OF pc
riodical literature which has ever been
typogr4 ed in this manner. 1t is the
beginning of new era in the art oil
pruning, which, nth a little practical
experience, wi nder the art of COM
posing type SO simple and elegant that
ladies' may sit down as TO piano-forte'
and set up in type their own efuslons'
with as much ease as they can commit
them to writing. The keys are marked
with the letters, and VIXEN touched with
| the finger, the corresponding type fall:
into its place with the rapidity of spell
ling. 1t will multiply printing, land re
duce its price, without diminishing TIL
the number of workmen, or Lowering
their wages; for cheap production mul

Vocalists are not the only person who
occasionally pitch tune too high. one
half of the world, in the progress OF their
lives, find themselves in the same PredIca-
ment.
How often do young ladies, while ma
turing plans for campaigns matrimonial
pitch their tune too high?
How often do young men, Just setting
out in life. pitch their tunes too high!
How often do grey headed fools pitch
their tunes too high, when they expect to
find happiness in boarded wealth or the
rounds of tinsel pleasure!
Financlers are very apt to pitch their
tunes too high.
The banking institutions pitched their
tunes too high.
Our whole country, in 1887, found her
tune was pitched too high.
The devil pitched his tune too high
when he attempted to rule IN heaven :,

For now that evil working fountain
Hath ceased to charm me with its liquid glow
And reasons DER bottles WITNESSES mounting,
Leads the calm mind to more frightnlng fount
That gives a clear view of every thing below.
Yet, there were raptures can meier forget,
MANY moments DER the goblets bnm unwasted
For friendships ardour sparkles thro' them yet,
And makes me scarce regret the drops tasted,
While all the Enclosed fondness of the soil
was breathing fragrance round the joyous bow
Smiles I've loved, and hearts that have tried.
Have beamed, and beaten gladly by my side;
And vet amidst the bliss there ever was alloy,
For morn's repose has followed evening JOY.
No more the clouds of shame shall gather now
In darkling shadows on the enfrenzed brow;
But clear and calm, the soul through the eyes,
Shall speak-nor know her being to desplse
No more the MAN shall sink beneath his sphere
And make each lowlier living thing his peer
But proudly keep the place he was assigned
CREAroR's LORD, AND BROTHER OF MANKIND
And will not Friendship shed brighter flame
When Reason speaks the justice OF his CLAIM

proclaimed far and wide, by those numer-
Gus friends who will cxult with US, that the
NEW WORLD newspaper, edned and

has PURCHASED AT GREAT EX-
PENSE, and ALONE received from

that It's republication will proceed rapidly.
