An IMPORTANT MANuFACTURE--A New
IRON iiILL.-A number Of citizens Of Rich
lnond, accompanied by the president CIV.
l.. CoWartlin) and the directors of the "Amcri-
can Rollcd-Nut and Tube Company" on yes
terClty visited their neWly-crccted mill, near
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad de-
pot, to witness tie extraordinary operations
of the manufacture Of the rolled-nut accord
ING to the patent of Mr.. Jonathan Ostrander
of this city.
The process excited the wonder and praise
of all present. Tubular bars Of heXagon
shape were rolled from the pllddlcd bar with
facility, rapidity, and accuracy and imme-
lmtrly, with the same heat OH the bars, they
were sawed into nuts by being placed before
thirteen circular saws, just rs if the bar was
50 much wood. Thus were made the nut
blanks so rapidly that i revolution must be
wrought in the manufacture of screw bolts.
Heretofore these nuts have been the labor of
the hand and were therefore made slowly
and at heavy cost. The improvement effected
by OStrnnder's patent greatly cheapens the
cost and increases the strength and power of
resistance to strain upon the nut.
Mr.. OStrander, the ingenious inventor. was
present, assisting in the direction of the ope
rationS Of the machinery. The company as
Scmblcd at the mill consisted of our most
influential and intelligent citizens, and one
and I'LL expressed their delight with what
they saw.
The prospects of the company are exceed
in9ly bright. Their new branch Of manll-
lactllrc is quite an acquisition to Richmond,
while it promises to pay its stockholders
handsome profits.

TIE EATIS6-HoUsE BuRGLARY.-Charlcs
Johnson, William Hancock, and John CheS-
terfeld (colored), were before Justice White
Yesterday to answer the charge Of breaking
into and entering the eating-house OF John
A. Smith and stealing pint OF oysters. IN
the absence of witnesses, the statements OF
the men were heard. Chesterfield declared
that one of the other men had broken the
door; but the stories told by them did not
at all agree. Chesterfield further stated that,
in company with johnson and Hancock, he
had taken Il drink III bar-rnoin on Cary
street, but the bal-kceper, when summoned,
asserted to the contrary. SO there beng no
evidence to convict johnson and Hancock,
they were discharged and Chesteriield's case
continued to get further witnesses ior the
defence.
