MANUFACTURES OF srEEI.

We learn from the Richmond Wing that Mr..
Broadmeadow. the gentleman who procured from
the General Assembly, at its late session, an &C, of
incorporation for joint stock company Tor the
manufacture Of steel. has given proof of the SUI
Perior value Of his method, in the presence of a
number of gentlemen, at a small conver,ory erect
ed on Belle Isle. Some Of the qualities of vir-
GINA Iron are pronounced by Mr.. Broadmeadow
to be very superior for the manufacture of steel,
and this fact it would seem has induced him to
determine upon location in the State. He is an
Englishman by birth, and was reared to the bust
ness which he proposes to follow, and which, it
is said, he has greatly improved by his own skill
and invention. No doubts company will readily
be formed. The location Of the works. we pre-
sumo, will be regulated by circumstances, and it
is most probable they will be brought somewhere
into our own mountains. We regard the enter
prize as very important one to the Common
wealth, as it cannot fail to add immensely to its
exports.
