THE IRON TRADE.

The Albany Argus gives most glowing ac-
count OF the condition of the Iron Manufacture of
the u. States. 1t says the trade "was never in
condition SO prosperous" "The demand for
Iron is far larger than can be supplied" mot
only for railway iron, but for all kinds of iron,
from common pig to bar, bolt and sheet iron.'
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, are al
ready engaged extensively in the manufacture OF
Iron, and n. York is destined to run bright ca
reer in it. On this head the Argus says:
"We come now to Northern New York, where
the iron manufacture is destined to run a career
oil prosperity inferior to that of other section oil
America. The iron district in this State embra-
ces the counties of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, St.
Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis and Herkimer Ce-
ologisis say that there is ore enough In Essex
county alone, to supply the world with Iron.-
The famous Adirondac Mountains, are much like
the celebrated Iron Mountains of Missouri; We,
as there are no means of getting the ore to the
lake, the mines are not yet worked, but they must
be, before the lapse Of many years.
The prosperity OF the iron business is working
wonders in Northern New York. Forces and
Furnaces are being erected at almost every mill
site on the Ausabe and the Saranac, and is esti
mated that the quantity of iron made in Northern
New York will be hebied this year. The North.
ern iron is we'll known to be of superior cast
very tough-and nearly equal to the celebrated
Swedes Iron. Charcoal only is used, which
makes much finer iron than hard coal; but OF
course the process is more expensive. Whether
Northern New York will ever manufacture rail-
way iron, is question; that requires mineral
coal, and as yet none is found there-but fortu.
nately in its vast and inexhaustible forests OF
wood they are sure of an abundance of fuel for
making the finest kind OF iron.''
Virginia has resources in iron and minerals not
surpassed by any State in the Union, and she,
like her sister States, will, under proper Gov
ernmen!al policy, develope these resources. And
what is that policy 1.-The maintenance of the
present Tariff, which has given renewed life and
vIgour TO the Iron and other manufactures of the
United States, but which the Loco party are stri-
wing to destroy .-PetersJurg Int.

AMERICAN COINAGE

We are glad to learn from paragraph in the
official paper that the Secretary of The Treasury
has directed his attention to this subject; and
that the sum OF $3.50 900 has been drawn from
various deposite banks in Mexican dollars, &c =,
and sent 10 the Mint and Branch MINIS 10 be
coined into dimes and half dimes. This addition.
al supply of these useful coins will greatly add
to the convenience of the public under the opera
ton of the new post Office law. More, we are
told, will be sent, to the full extent authorized by
law. And also that the next issue will probably
be OF quarters, when sufficient number of dimes
and half dimes shall be coined.-Nat. Int.

THE PHILADELPHIA ACADEMY OF FINE.
ARTS DESTROYED BY FIRE.

A little before midnight of Wednesday the Aca-
deny of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, believed to
contain the best collection of Paintings in the u
nited States, was consumed by fire, supposed TO
have been communicated by an incendiary.
The fire was FIRST discovered beneath the Statue
Gallery, which was entirely destroyed, with all
its contents; and, spreading TO The Library ROOM
large number OF pictures were destroyed before
they could be removed. Several pictures of great
value were also lost in the Rotundo. With great
efforts, the valuable Library, chiefly present
from Napoleon Bonaparte, was saved, though
considerably injured. The losses Of pictures, in
many instances, are irreparable.

u We had delightful rain on Sunday last,
which continued throughout the day, falling, for
the most part in light and gentle showers. Veg
citation has been greatly revived by it, and the
Corn, which was generally in the very best plight
to receive it, owing to the favorabeness of the long
spell OF dry weather for its clean and thorough
culture, we hope is now put beyond all reasona-
bic apprehension of danger. The Oats crop is
too far advanced to be much benefited, and may
be said indeed to be almost a failure all over the
county.

UNPARALLELED LIBERAIITy ,

a youth named John Honas, at the risk of his
life, during the recent fire in GAINESVILLE, saved
the Courthouse from destruction. The act is
spoken of as one Of noble daring. The commits
sIoners OF Muskingum county passed vote of
thanks to HoDas, and directed the Auditor TO
cause silver medal Of the value Of FIVE dollars,
with suitable inscriptions, 10 be prepared and
presented to him in the name of Inc county =

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PRIVILEGES"

"MoNOPOLIES''-EXCLU PRIVILEGES. -
The Locofoco party are proverbal every where
for their protested hatred of Banks and other
Corporations, which they say are calculated to
breed race of Aristocrats by comforting Mono
poles and Exclusive Privileges on the few at the
expense of the many. Their manner Of showing
1t, however, is indeed little peculiar. The fol-
lowing from Detroit paper tells us how it is in
Michigan. Locofocoism there, it would seem,
has the same characteristics which belong 10 it
in other parts of the country.
1--WE have got the funniest anti-bank party in
Michigan the world ever saw. They chartered
every bank that ever existed in the State. They
passed the first suspension act that ever was en-
acted here, and provided for the organization of
some thirty or forty new banks with the privilege
OF not paying specie. They have enacted all
the permanent Legislation that has ever existed
on the subject of banks. They have had the Of
hclai supervision of the banks, with brief in
terval, ever since the State government was esta-
bllShed. They have used and borrowed of the
banks, both Individually and as public officers,
under all their administrations. Their leading
men are presidents, directors, attornies and en-
pDyees of banks. And yet the moment one of
them fails or suspends, they raise terrible out
cry, proclaim themselves genuine anti-bank men,
and denounce the Wings like mad. 1t was
first tate trick once, but il has been PLAYED lit
tie too often now. The people are beginning 10
understand this sfop-hief cry of locofoco arce-
nors."

GOVERNMENT DEPOSITES.

A Washington letter in the N. Y. Tribune
says
The Secretary of the Treasury has nearly COM
pieted his arrangement for the more secure de-
Posite OF the Public Revenue. The principle Of
The new plan is the reduction of the number Of
Deposlte Banks, and the requirement Of addition
al security on the part of those which may be
selected. In addition, the right OF issuing small
notes will be greatly restricted or taken away,
AT present there are seven Deposte Banks in the
city Of New York. From -four Of these certainly
the Public Deposites will be removeG--perhaps
from five. Two Banks only, as understand,
have as yet been finally determined on. A third
VIII probably be selected, if the security shall be
satisfactory, and a readiness to comply with the
other conditions shall be sbown.-Tbe same
course will be pursued Throughout, the country.
AT present the amount Of funds in the Treasury
may be computed at about seven millions, and
,ne policy Of the Government in reference to their
distribution for safe keeping evinces settled
hostility 10 banks and incorporated companies.

then read aud accepted, which is subjoined. 1t
Will be seen that it gives nattering account of
the condition and prospects of the road and of
the finances Of the company. The calculations
Of tho Report OF the preceding year, which many
thought too sanguine, have been fully realized,
both in regard to the amount Of tolls received and
OF payments upon the company's debt. That
debt-thanks to the zeal and excellent manage.
n'ent OF the President and Directors--s now
brought into manageable shape, and must soon
melt away under the increasing revenues of the
road.
spirited effort was made in the meeting 10
procure the adjustment Of the office of Superiu.
tendent of the Road, and leave its duties to be
performed by the President. The object of the
movement seemed to be one Of economy merely.
but the discussion was calculated to show that
it was rather of doubtful or mistaken policy. II
was finally concluded, in the language of one Of
the speakers, to "let well enough alone" and the
resolution was withdrawn.
All the old officers of the company were then
reelected, viz: DR.. JouN w. RICE, President,
