during Easter week for a fair in aid of the Badng
Fund of the New-York Infant AsylEm, established
at No "a Clnton-place. This well-Tnanaged and

Under tho innocent title Of "an act to facilitate
the construction Of the New-lork and Oswego Mid
land Railroad" a bill has passed the Senate ana Is
before the Committee of the Whole in the Assem-
bIv. Excellent AS il the object, perhaps the means
proposed By this bill open to question. By II,

Jersey which have been shall be hereafter issued
in aid of the construction Of the MOntclair Rail
way;p the latter railway being a part in New
.Jersey Of the New-York and Oswego Midland road
Before being in haste about this legislation. it is
well to recolect that there are already some New
Jersey town bonds lying about loose in Wall-str
issued in aid Of railroads, where interest coupons
have long been due and unpaid. No doubt such
law would help railroads and holders of town bonds;
and. having been permitted with regard to New
Jersey towns, might be extended to those OF other
States bnt whether our savings banks would long
survive tho process of thus scattering their funds
abroad is not evident.

An interesting description of the process,
general condition, and prospects Of Bessemer
steel manufacture in this country, is given in
q letter of Col. Foster. He prophesies an i'm
mense increase in this industry within few
years, basing his expectations upon the fact
that in the block coal region of Indiana the
essential condition of success-proximity of
the rare ores, and peculiar fuel required in
the process-is fulfilled. 1t will be perceived
that this opinion is shared by Mr.. A. S. Holley,
whose practical experience in successfully
starting Bessemer works in this country is
widely known.
