LARGE PIECE OF HOT IRON TO HANDLE.-On
Thursday week gave account of the casting Of
an immense cannon at Ayers foundry at South Bos-
tOn-the largest gun ever cast. Yesterday the 18th
day after casting, it raised from the shaft but
was still so hot that water cast upon it was instanta-
neousy converted into vapor. The mould was
readily stripped from the supendous mass. leaving
clean surface. Though weighing at least 20 TONS it
was raised by two great cranes, worked by twelve
men, without difficulty. In fact, the facility with
which it was moved by the AID Of Mr.. Ayers power
fnl machinery afforded spectacle nearly as interest
ing the previous operation of casting. As it has
come from the mould, the gun is ii feet inches
long, BY cutting off about four feet of the lenpth.
boring out, and trimming, the weight will be reduced
to about twelve tons and half. The boring and
turning will occupy three weeks The metal used in
this gun Is composed of four kinds of ron constitu-

Clocks REGULATED By LIGHTNING.-One Of the Ia
test and most wonderful exhibitions of the power of
the Electro Telegraph is shown in the regulation
and running Of clocks, placed far apart from each
other. It Is stated in foreign Journal that clock
has been 50 arranged in Edinburgh, by lis connection
with the magnetic wires, that the oscillation of IFS
pendulum mark the hours on dial plate'ih Glasgow,
and upon another in Edinburgh at one and the same
moment. So perfect IS lis operation, that the eleof
cal current passes from one city to the OTHER In
second Of time not perceptble, since the two clocks
never vary percePtibly. When the pendulum in
Edinburgh moves to the right the magnetized rod in
Glasgow in the sane directions and bet4Tfeeafn
together 10 the left Two other clocks are also TO be
placed nhe intermediate stations of Linltgow and
Falkirk to be regulated by the one in Edinburgh 1t
proposed, all tie railroad lines are sup
piled with teegraphic wires along their whole extent
to establish the general regulator in Greenwich,
which win mark uniform time upon the several
stations upon every railroad in the whole kingdom
In this manner, the whole country will know the
exact Greenwich time, and thus will be obvated all
the present danger arising from disagreement in
watches, and the sad catastrophes they have not
unfrequenty occasoned, by mistakes in the departure
of trains"
