Important Discovery in the Manufacture of Steel. The theories and experiments of Mr. Bes- semer having once fairly aroused the attention of all interested in iron manufacture, it seems that the appearanne of one new invention after another is likely to prevent the trade fairly settling down for some time into the old routine. We allude to covery of Cap- | tain Uchatius (engineer-in-chief of the impe- ducing every description of cast steel from crude pig iron in a spice of two orthree bours. For the satisfaction of a number of scientific process, by the courtesy of Messrs Rennie and Sons, an exhibition of the new method of man- ufacture was made on Saturday at the Albion Engine Works. Holland Street, Blackfriars Road, London, in the presence of numerous spectators. Mr. Charlies Lenz, the partner of Captain Uchatius, operated on the oceasion. He pro- ceeded to state that the method adopted in England, and all over the world he might say, for making best descriptions of cast steel here- tofore, was to convert Swedish or Russian bar iron by a lengthy. uncertain, and costly pro- cess, first into what is called blister steel, which product is then meited down in cruci- bles and cast into ingots for the manufacture of the bar steel of commerce. The invention about to be exhibited by him would render | this country quite independent of Sweden and Ruseia for steel irons, as he would show the | ‘company present that East India pig iron. | ' now very plentiful and cheap here, could be | peeves, aT ae | converted into fine steel in as few hours as | Swedish and Russian bar iron would take ; Weeks to manipulate ; in addition to which he could assure those present that numerous de- scriptions of ordinary English pig irom would answer this cae equally well, if he migh' judge from the limited experiments in Englis iron he had performed. Indeed, the results of tkese experiments! were very remarkable, and he expected that { nearly every iron work would soou make steel | as regularly as they now make iron. Mr. Lenz then proceeded to explain that the in vention of Beptain Uchatius was founded upon the well known fact that cast iron enwrapped or surrounded by any oxygenised -materials, and subjected to a cementing heat for a given | time, will yield up a portion of its carbo which will combine with the oxygen driven off from the surrounding materials, and form carbonic oxide or carbonic acid gas. If this | process is interrupted before completion, a | partially decarbonised iron will result, the surface of which wili have been converted | into a pure iren, while the intesior parts re- main unchanged; or, in other wordg, the pro- gress uf the decarbonizing action wii! depend | on the amount of metallic surface brought | into contact with the oxygen-yielding mate- | rial with which the iron is surrounded in order. therefore, to expedite this opera- ; tion, the pig iron is first reduced to a granu- lated state, done by simply running the mol- teniron from the cupola (a blast furnace in some cases) into cold water, agitated by me- cbanical means. This granulated iron is mixed with a proper proportion of pulverized oxygen yielding materials of a very cheap description, such as sparry iron ore, aud add- ing, if requisite, a small quantity of mange- nese, which mixture is put into common cruci- bles a:.d subjected to heat in a cast steel blast furnace of an ordinary construction By thus subjecting the granules of iron in | presence of the sparay iron ore to a melting heat, the enwrapping oxides will first effect a artial decarbonisation of tho granulated iron, which decarbonisation will be ligase} in| amount according to the size of the grarute: operated upon, and by reason of the contir- ued application of heat the iron will meit and separate (with the assistance of the melting | esiduez of sparry iron ore) from the impuri ties with which it was mixed, and also brin, slown with it a portion of the iron containe, @ sparry iron ore, thereby increasing the | gieid of ce ¢ steel by about 6 per cent , The x ictions of melting and casting | are the vemonly employed by oust steel mannfacturers. ='hoquality of the steel | is capable of being by thig process consider- | ably modified Thus the Gonz ii¢ pig iron & | granulated, the aofter will be the c- ~ therefrom. The softer sorts of welding « steel may bs obtained by the addition oi wrought iron in small pieces, and the harder } qualities by adding charcoal in various pro- | sortions to the before mentioned mixture ‘hus, continued Mr. Lenz, mey crude iron be converted into stead ingots in the incredibly shert spave of about two hours. He then pro- | ceeded tu exhibit the preliminary proces: ef | i | granulating, by running acracible of meited pig iron into « vessel of water, when it was antly converted inutu susail shot like par ticles ; A weight of 241. of the granniated iron | was now mixed wiih the erushed ore and Gill- zl into the crucible in the Lomporary Jurnace, «ti was allowed to mei! in the ysgal w=oner, whilst the company proceeded tu witness the sporation of the hammering down inte & bar ot an ingot of this new stech, which was Wace u few days ago in the presence of several em: nent scientific men. and although the stes 1 ” | hammer now used was described az not at all | }eads, which myst be thought by the bors adupted for steel. but apt to impair the queii- | ty, nevertheless, the bar steel produced from the ingot now hammered was pronounced to be of excellent qus d tools made by ; Messrs.

The Montreal Gazette contains a - dence between Sampson Low, Son roa English publishers of Mrs Stowe’s new ¥ “ Dred,”’ and Mr S. Picka lisber, who announced and has issued a Can. adian edition of the same work. The London firm had bought advance sheets of the work from Mrs. Stowe, and by publishing it in Lex- don before it was issued in the United Stat Seoured the advantage of the British laws cor cerning copyright. They claim, therefore, that Mr Pickup trespasses on th: a ig by his edition; but they offer to com the matter vpon his paying them trvelve and a half per cent. on ae lowest wholesale price of his whole edition—threatening bim with legal proceedings if he refuses Mr. Pickup declines the offer, and declares bis intention of resting solely upon the merits of thecase If the book published had been that of a British author, he says, be might have assented totheclaim But, he adds “The United States of America have re- pestedly refused Yo establish an international copyright, —— the rights of eur authors might be secu within their territories American Epep sen constantly make free use of the works of British autbors, who have no means of protection from this piracy, and it were @ gross injustice to the British or Colo- nial pabtisher if with sales of bis copyright book limited by those piracies, he were to be inable to retaliate by a free use of the pro- luctions of Awerisan guthors. It is only by this species of retaliation that ritish authors cinever hope to get justice from the United States.’* Mr. Pickup thicks, moreover, that inasmuch as popular education and intelligence have been greatly promoted in the United States by their free use of Bricish books, the people of Canada shoud have the same advantage. He says: ; “The questi is of importance to British | authors, us [ haa shown ; it is also of impor- i a concession of righis not wholly my own. If in the neighboring country the best works of Britith authors may be brought within the reach of the poorest and Lumoblest individual ey moans of the system of literary piracy ; if thereby their boasted intelligence and edu- cation of the masses among them is advanced, itis but a fair, it is an adequate return tha. we in Canada, should be enabled to make use of the product of their brains, a: freely for the promotion of popular education among our own people.
