Making $6450 tons.

If has been found on recent visit through the Housatonic Valley, that there were now Tn olast'
 five furnaces south of the line of the Western Kall- way. in Massachusetts, and nineteen more, south of inc State line within the valley of the Housaton ic River, making t,oenty.to'T furnaces, now Tn blast within the distance of GO miles from ths cly all making at an average rate of 30 tons each, per week. of very superior quality ofchoTc0Gt Ptg non These furnaces may be run about ID months during the wear, afording ample time for relaying hearths and making ordinary repairs-and may thus be made to produce the aggregate amount of 2S,oOO tons annually of Pig Iron, worth on the average ot the past 10 years 30 per ton, or S64 OOO dol lars per annum, very large proportion of which IS the earning labor.
 There are many and strong reasons for encour- aging the Iron bnsinesss in CONNECTICUT. The article produced may be made into refined Iron, supeyi0r to 0ny other kn0tCn production, as
 been long and fairly settled, by our GnssrnmeW contracts for Gun lion and Chain Cabtes It makes the most approved railway axles and tres, on the safety of which so much of human life depends The known quality of the best pig metal IS so well established as to command about $s30 per ton, for steady and permanent demand for the Eng fish mar ket where no a,attve qualities can compare with ours for toughness and ductty, and this fact en- couragng to our Iron masters, to engage largely ana permanently in the business.
 The facilities of obtaining materials and the best of mechanical skill; enables the construction and working of furnaces here much cheaper than Tn Pennsylvania. One ot the most productive and successful furnaces in the Housatonic valley, was erected few years since with capital ot only ss7OOO, which was contributed in seven shares'- Within few weeks past, very good establish mept in full blast, was sold by private contract, including POO acres of heavy woodland for $6O0O.
 The Brown hematite ores of the Green Mountain range, are inexhaustble, and are easily and cheap ly obtained and so long supply of charcoal can be had which cannot fail for many years, the iron trade will continue to be safe, and prohtable- Vermont has resources in her mines and forests 10 supply the United States with iron
 The county of Clinton, N. Y. onthe border of Lake Champlain, will send out for etthe pres- ent year ten housa tons ot olnears ne o' excellent quality, the produce of the small char coal forges in that county alone, and Essex county next south, will make still larger quantity of pigs and bars. In these two counties the ores are pie- tiful beyond estimate-and are obtained n many places from open beds or pits, With almost as much facility as clay or gravel The new lines of rail ways through Vermont and Connecticut, will offer new and encouraging in- ducements, to prosecute the iron trade, and Tn re- turn the additional traffic and profits of the busi- ness on the roads, will soon constitute very large item in their incomes-CotnGnt
 l Isaac T. Hopper the venerable Quaker, whose benignant countenance and antique costume are so familiar to our citZen5 was assaulted Tn the street yesterday by acona0n! He was standing on the ea@terly side of Nassau street, opposite Dr. Springs | Church, when he felt himself rudely Jostled by 1 some person from behind and, oh turning round to ascertain the cause of the assault, he received
 very severe blow in the face from female. welt
 dressed, ana of very respectable appearance, ,who
 was leading little child, but with whom he was
 entirely unacqualnted. He stepped back, some-
 what surprised at such rude salutation from one
 of the gentler sex saying, believe I'll not turn l the other check for fear that even that would
 not satisfy thee :" Another gentleman coming
 along at this moment, she left the Quaker and i'm
 mediately attacked him. This man, having no
 faith in the doctrine of non- resistance, was about
 to return blow for blow, but was dissuaded from
 doing so by the earnest remonstrance of the peace 1 ful Quaker, who though: the woman must certain

 only by the circumstance above alluded to, but by
 the scarcely less surprising fact that she spoke not | c scord !-I'ibune
