COMPARATIVE VALUE OF BR1TIsu AND AMER.
CAN iRoN.--Most o. ourreaders are. we Ioubtno
aware Of the vast amount of the transportat on on
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, but few of
'hen' probably, have reflected on the opportunity
afforded BY its vast business for testing the com.
parative durability of the different DESIGNATIONS

world. For many years record has been kent
III relation to every single bar removed. showino-
tie length Of time it had been in use and its con.
dItion when removed, so that it can be at nome nj
ascertainedhow many tons weight had passed M
on it before became so far worn as 10 render its
removal necessary; and the result of the whole,
has been to establish the fact that true economy
requires chat American iron should alone be used
ior all future repairs, even alta much greater differ
ehcc oil price than now exists. Thai such is the
case will be seen from the following facts:
An English rail, weighing Sirty hounds to the
yard, requires ninty-four tons 10 the mile: the
cost of which, at $40, would be 1890 An
American one, of fifty pounds TO the yard would
require seventy eight tons; which. at Ss4s, would
be ;53.7l4. Experience has proved the latter to
be more durable and i'll every respect better than
the former and, therefore, TO be much cAeuper.
even at difference Of s9 per ton, or more Than
the whole of the present duty on foreign IRON
whereas the actual difference is, as we learn, lit
tie more than So per ton. Nevertheless, English
iron, cheap and comparatively worthless, is i'm
ported by hundreds of thousands of tons, and will
we doubt not, continue to be so until the remainder
OF our furnaces shall be closed, when prices will
again rise, and probably to the old Level Mash

We suspect the fate of the amendment depends
lar more upon The votes Of Southern Wings than
upon the empty dicta of politically defunct Sc

we be':eye TO be wise, but, nasmuch as the relief
it will afford to the manufacturing interests is more
needed at present by the North than the South
should be unwilling to aid in pa ssing it until
we had some assurance that the slavery question
Is not to be reopened. We confess the indca-
