WRouGnr InoN MANUFACTURED BYA New
PRocEss.-Animportant Improvement in the
manufacture oiwrought iron, vas nude at
Newark, y. j TWO or three years ago; and
a few weeks since an associnti1n Il, Tint place
put Il into successful operation. The improve
mcn, it Is said. consists in the production of
pure wrought IRON, directly from the ore,
vuh mineral coal thus dispensing with the
time and money consuming process of rcduc-
ing il FIRST 10 pig iron, and lhcnceinto wrought
iron by pudding, or with cbagcoal. The
Newark Advertiser says:
The chief Advantages eluimcl for the IN
vcntion are thai The iron Is produced for some
twenty dollars per ton less than tho pnddled
or charcoal iron, aud thut II is worth ten dol.

quality; that greater quantity OF the iron is
exlractcdi'rom given amour; Of ore than by
the old process, and that II Is the only process
10y whichpure wrought IRON can be pro-
duced.
"lhe rationale ofthe invention is that the
ronls deoxldyzed by heating mixture fthe
lpulyerzcd ore ard coal IN close tubes, so
| that 10y the combustion of the coal the oxygen
! is absorbed from the ore and passed off in an
nenlorm state. The resduum Is taken from
! the tubes and worked into balls weighing about
100 pounds each These are taken To the trip
hammer, by which they are reduced to blooms
! Two tons OF the iron are now made per day
and II requires about TWO tons Of ore and one
ton and half Of coal to produce one ton OF
the wrought iron. The iron is extracted and

uniform, and altogether superior to that made
by other processes by which the ole or iron
must undergo two successive exposures 10 the
fire before II can be reduced to wrought iron.
