uffeaders The following IS an account of a
very important discovery recently made in
Newark, taken from the Nerarh .4docrti-

IA Smith s lter, of this city, has Just OBJ
tanned patent for an invention which, it is be-
lieved, iss destined to have most important in
fluence upon the useful arts Of life, and the indus
| try of the country and the world. 1t is a new
method of making iron direct from the ore, with
anthracite and bituminous coal, by a single pro-
cess. By means of this remarkable invention
Mr. S. proposes to make wrought iron at a cost
of $$;25 to $50 per ton--at least half the usual
/ cost
His furnace has three combined chambers, one
above the other, and all actuated by the same
fire. The upper chamber is used for oxidizng
the ore impurities, such us sulphur, &C., being
carried off at a low temperature; the middle
chamber for fuxing and working, and the low
er chamber for reducing and finishing The
metal is taken from the last named to the ham,
mer or squeezers. The whole time occupied in
this process, from the time the ore is put into the
furnace until fnishedby the hammer, is only
two hours! We understand that one Of his fur
naces is now in operation at Boonton, in Morris
county. We have specimen of iron from it.
