IMPORTANT Discovery curious process for
giving iron an exceedingly high degree of hard
ness has been discovered in France by NJ Gaudin
This chemist spna tirnA since roonpaed- tIaa -fnnt
with a small quantity of boron, product so
He has now found that similarly hard metal
may be obtained by adding to ordinary cast
iron, while in fusion, phosphate of iron and
peroxide of Manganese. The iron produced in
this way cannot be forged but it casts easily,
and is therefore thoroughly applicable to the
construction of such chimes as require in their
material extreme hardness rather than tenacity.
The metal SO produced is moreover, singularly
ment in bell-foundry. He also states that he has
discovered a species of alloy called tungsten iron,
crystals of which are so hard that they will cut
glass as readily as the diamond. 5.l .I

The Proposed Channel Ferry.

The phrase London to Paris in ten Aonrsn
outstanding the well known shortness of the
time in which a trip between the two capitals
can be performed, there are many people who
regard the journey with a certain amount of
dread, arising, in a great measure, from the
discomforts attending upon the passage across
the Channel. We are sure, therefore, that the
proposal for forming Channel ferry, which
is now before parliament, is one which, If pro-
perly carried out, will meet with great public
favor. 1t is intended tt at the steamers form
ing the ferry shall be one third longer than
those now running between Holyhead and
Kngstown; that they shall lie rooted over, and
transforming, say, from London-shall be
run bodily on to their decks, carried across the
Channel, and transhipped to the French lines
on the other side. The new boats are, under
ordinary circumstances, to perform the passage
in one honr, during which time the passengers
may either remain in the carriages, or avail
themselves of the waiting and Tefreshment
rooms with which the vessels will be furnished.
The Custom House Officers can also examine
the luggage during the passage, and it is ex-
pected that the whole journey from London
to Paris can thus be performed in Gig 1T hours.
Owing to the great size of the steamers, it is
expected that little inconvenience will be caused
by the short chopping seas Of the channel. 1t
is expected that the ferry may be brought into
operation in two years ime.-liechanics' Nd

ESTIMATE OF BEAUTY.-Socrates called beauty
a short-lived tyranny Plato a. privilege of ma
ture; Theophrastus, silent cheat; Theocitus,
delightful prejudice; Carneadis, solitary king
dom Domition said that nothing was more
grateful; Aristotle affirmed that beauty was bet
ter than all the letters of recommendation in the
world; Homer, that it was glorious gift of ma
ture, and Ovid, abiding to it, calls it a favor
bestowed by the Gods. ags ~
Frogs do not croak in running water, and
active minds are seldom troubled with gloomy
forebodings. They come up from the stagnant
depths of spirit unstirred by generous impul-
SEES or the blessed necessities of honest toll.
Conscience is too sacred possession to be
trihed with; its voice is faithful, but may be
extinguished; and he that would have peace
with himself and God must take heed of the art
and sophistry by which its admonitions may be
suppressed.
Opportunities of showing kindness and doing
good are continually presenting themselves; and
we have it in our power, in greater or less de-
gree, to lessen the amount of human wretched-
ness, and to increase the sum of human happi-
ness.
Memory presides over the past action presdes
over the present. The first lives in a rich tenn
pie hung with glorious trophies and lined with
tombs; the other has no shrine but duty, and it
walks the earth like spirit.
We often wonder at and are repulsed by,
manners and habits which would appear natu-
raj and inoffensive did we know the peculiari-
ties of circumstance or education from which
they spring.
The City of Albany has finally complied with
all requirements of the law relative to the gift OF
certain property for the purpose OF a new State
| Capitol. The whole of the Congress Hall and
! Learned property is now vested in the State.
The next Thing in order is an appropriation and
the appointment of Commissioners, by the Gov
ernor, to superlntend the lection of the new
| ediice.
| The name of the produce dealer whe recenoly
absconded from Canandaugua, N Y, is Charles
| H. Hopkins. The banks holds his paper to the
amount of about $27, 900, with the name OF The
! odore Crosby as endorser. Mr.. Crosby repudi-
ates the signatures forgeries. Hopkins is large

Is THE VALLEY RAMRoAD-TAE CovINGToN.
BY reference to our report of the proceed
ings of the House of Delegates, it will be seen
that the Senate bill to incorporate the Valley
Railroad Company passed that body without
amendment, and is now a'law. The baneful
effects of the Valley road upon the prosperity
of Virginia were forcibly and eloquently set
forth in their speeches in opposition to the
passage of the bill by Messrs. Grattan, of Rich
mond, and Davis, of Louisa; but all to no pur-
pose The people of the great Valley of Vir-
gina wanted the railroad at all hazards, and
the House passed the bill.
The only hope for the State now is in the
speedy completion of the Covington and Ohio
railroad; and we are glad to be able to state
upon the best authority, that the capital to
finish this great work is ready as soon as the
bill now before the Legislature to incorporate
the company shall be passed. - Richmond
