Yeaterday afternoon the third samual parade of the New York Fire Department took place, whem the above body passed in review before the Mayor and other moum- bers of the Corporativa, unl various heads ef depart- ments. The appointed hour of starting was ll A. M.; but throngh the delays that took place it was nearly four o'clock when the tire nies appeared in the Park. ‘The cause of the dilatory action we do not know; bat it com Kept in suspense a large crowd of spectaters, who ware congregated in the Park ay their arrival.

THE NON MANUFACTURES IN THE AUSTRIAN DEPARTMENT. ‘To appreciate properly the intrinsic value of iron, it would be necessary to picture to ourselves our present state of society suddenly deprived of its aid. By doing this, we may form some idea of the impor- tant part which it plays, even iu the most minute de- tails'of our social economy, there being scarcely an operation in the daily routine of our habits into | which it does not enter as an agent or auxiliary. From the moment that we rise in the morning until we lie dawn at night, we are undes perpetual obli- «avons to this useful meial—the very bed on which we have lain, the mattress, the blaukets, the sheets, snd the quilt, having all, in a greater or less degree to acknowledge the agency of iron in its prodaction. Without fron the stove that heats our sleeping room must bave been substituted by a: smokey hearth; the marble chimney piece which conceals ity harsh outlines must bave remained unquarried in its bed ; and the keen razor with which we have just acsom- plished the troublesome process of shaving, must hove slumbered in its native ore. We descendito breakfast, and we find that to the aid of iron we owe the delicacies spread before us; without its agency we should have known nothing of poached eggs, curried fowl, fried oysters, or succulent beef- seak. To convey them to their destina‘ion, we are again compelled to resort to the aid of iron, unless perchance we happen to belong to that favored class of mortals who are figaratively described as entering the world “ with a silver spoon in their mouths.” Weare reminded thatit is time to start off for our place of business, by an ingenious and complex little machine, whose motive power is supplied by iron. We enter a car or a carriage, and the luxurious roll of the vehicle awakes a pleasant sense of the benefits derived from the steel sprinzs and iron track. But for,the adaption of iron to — purposes of locomotion, we should be compellea w trust our uawieldy bulk to the bare-backed mercies of a horse, or to some other equally uncomfortable mode of progression. As qe are whirled along be- tween those magnificent blocks of brickwork and Stone, which resemble palaces more than stores, tue reflection naturally occur: to us, that but for the aid of iron their wealthy occupants might now be car- rying on a brisk trade in peltry, under the shelter of @ wigwam or shanty. When, on entering our office, we find the Heap on our desk, rich in the plethora of its news or drollery, we iavoluntary bless our stars that we live in an age where the perfection of the iron printing press enables us thus matutionally to ex- amine the last quotations, or to while away the dul- nees of the counting house during the heat of the dog- days. Suould the superabundant caloric of the at mosphere prodace an enervating effect upon our syetem, we are again obliged to have recourse to that invaluable medicine, iron —the only metal friendly te the human frame—to restore health and tone to onr eafeebled organs. It short, it would ocsupy more space than we can appropriate to the subject were we to enumerate every purpose and use to which iron is made subservient. Withont it, metals of @ greater nominal value mast have been undiscovered—mineral fuel, which forms such an im- portant element in the economy of manufactures, would have been still undisturbed—the fruits and cereal resources of the earth would not have been produced in the abundance which now blesses the labor of the husbadman—the giant steam could not have lent us the wonder-working aid of his iron sinews, and, in short, the world muat have continued a wilderness. The hardness, tenacity, and malleability of iron combine to render it the most useful, and consequent- ly the most intrinsically valuable, of all the metals. Its tenacity is, for instance, tested when used in the form of rods fora suspension bridge, or in the many uses in which wire is applied; its malleability is proved by its capability of being rolled into sheets as thin as the finest paper; and its hardness is demon- strated by the fact that it is used as a means of reduc- ing other metals to the forms which they are required toascume. It would be impoasible for us, in the limits of the present article, te descrive the different pro- cesses by which these various results are obtained, or to enter into a critical examination of the diffe- rent kinds of iron produced. The history of iron has yet to be written; and he that can bring to the task the qualities necessary to its successful treatment will add an important and interesting contribution to our Jiterature. f To show how cheaply iron is obtained, and how the mechanical skill amd labor expended upon it totally overshadow the original price, a number of the British Quarterly Review of 1847 gives the fol- lowing curious and instructive calculation :— Bar iron worth £1 sterling, is worth who: Balance springs of wa Cast iron worth £1 sterling, converted into ordinary machinery, Larger ornamental work ckles and Berlin work Neck chains. Shirt buttons, Thirty-one pounds of iron have been made into wire upwards of one hundred and eleven miles in length, and so fine was the fabric that a part was converted, in liew of horse hair, into a barrister’s wig. The process followed to effect this extraor- dinary tenuity consists in heating the iron, and passing it through rollers of eight inches diameter, going at the rate of four hundred revolutions per minute, down to No. 4 onthe guage. It is after: wards drawn cold down to No. 38 on the same guage, and so on till it obtains the above length in miles. Rich as is the Austr'an monarchy in mineral re- sources of every description, the most important of all the various branches of its mining wealth and in- dustry is that of iron, whether we consider the ex- tensive developement it has already received, or the still more encouraging prospects of its futare en- largement, which only requires proper care to be de- voted to it, and the many mistakes which at present attend its management to be abandoned. The pig iron of Austria is smelted in 257 blast furnaces; so that on an average more than 12,500 owt. are the prodoce of each of these works annually. The cast iron isrun for the most part direct from the blast furnaces into the moulds. Iron of the second cast- ing is produced in thirty-seven cupola and nine re- verberating furnaces, and is Jess considerable in | quantity. The figures above given are very little Gisturbed by the fluctuations of trade; for daring the period from 1843 to 1847 rhe imports of iron ore and pig iron, including scrap iron, were on an aver- age, respectively, 60,381 cwt. and 24,557 cwt,—the exports of iron ore being 9,078 cwt., and of scrap jron 5,110 cwt.; consequently these amounts exer- cise no perceptible influence upon the finishing manufactare of the pig iron into bar iron and steel. The production of malleable iron, incladiog the amount yielded by all the various methods aad pro- cesses applied to different kinds, and for securing different degrees of fineness, exceeds two millions ewt. spnually. The production of steel amounts to 287,300 ewt , which is made up of the followiag propor- tions: —Cast steel, 4,200 owt.; keg stes', 75,000 owt; shear steel, 54,000; crude steel, 150,800; blistered steel, 2,500 The manufacture of this quantity of steel requires the conversion 0 368,000 ewt. of pig iron, stil) leaving upon the whole yield of the latter a sur- plus of 201,060 cwts., which are melted down in the cupola and reverberating furnaces. The balance of trade in malleable iron and steel is io favor of Aus- | tia, the exports showing an enormous anaaal excess over the imp: rts. Of the differeot branches of the iron manufacture carried on in Avstria, the most important from their mogvitude are those of sey thes, sickles, chaff outters, and wire nails Of these, iwmense quantities are exp: ried to difieren’ varts of the Contineat, and even find their way into Turkey and Syria.

With one or two exceptions this is the fact. Most of the articles exhibited are specimens of scythe, sick!es, kitchen utensils, nals, and cutlery of every description. The exceptions are @ magnificent cast iron candela brom, about twenty feet high, and some beautiful sbecimens or ornawentel firearms. The first vamed is from the fouodry of Prince Von Salen, at Vienna, and is well worthy of inspection. Unlike many works of this nature which we could point out, the de- sign is exactly adapted to the purpose for which it was intended, and it bas consequently a lightand elegant appearance, It is massive where it should be, at the base, and gradually tapers off to the apex of the column, the ornamentation merely perform- ing a secondary part, and retieviag, instead of over- loading, the general effect. Asa specimen of iron casting, itis one of the finest that we nave seen, nd is fully equal to the best of the castings cou- tributed by the Coalbrook Dale Company to the Lordon Exhibition. The ormatmental firearms shown by Nowack, ot Prague, Kierner, of Pesth, and Schasebel, of Ferlach. are exquisitely finished an infinite amount of pains and elaboration having been evidently bestowed upon them. We caunot, of course, speak as to their efficiency; but they seem to us to comeine all the most recent improvements. The agricultural implements are light and conve- nient in form; but they are wanting in that burnish and careful finish which we love to bestow on all such articles. The same remark applies to the cutlery and hardware; but itshould be borne in miad that all the specimens exhibited in these branches of mauufacture are recommended rather for their cheapness and utility than for more showy qualities. We toust not therefore test them by a stan’ which it was never intended to submit them to. To carry ont the object of the exhibitors, however, the prices ought to have been affixed to each article, as a sort of special catalogue, prepared for the visiter to referto.* It has always appeared to us to have been a great mistake on the part of the Executive Committee of the London exhibition, and it no doubt is the same on the part of the directors of our own, not to permit the exhibitors to give as promi- nent an effect as poste to this element of cheap- ness. It isone of the most important features of the competition to which the manufacturer is chal- levged, and it is doing him an injustice to debar him from an opportunity of placing it prominently before the public. No where ave we been more forcibly struck with the truth of thisremark than in the de- partment of which we are speaking. To the person who merely bestows a superficial glance at the col- lection, without reference to its character and ob- jects, the first impression is naturally that of disap- intment. He inquires of himself what could have the motive of the exhibitors to place articles such as he beholds in competition with the English and American hardware When told, however, that they are merely cent as specimens of the low price et which really good and useful articles can be produced, when unsecessary work is dispensed with, his mterest is at once vwak- ened, and he finds in these Austrian manufactures articles that can be advantageously placed in comps- tition with the same class of goods in any of the other departments. We regret to perceive that some of the cutlery has got damaged, eitaer during the sea yoyage or since its arrival in the building. The oxi- dation of the blades, czased by exposure to m»isture, naturally detracts very much from the appearance of. the goods. The shief places at which this branch of manufacture is carried on, «re Steinbach, Waidhof- en, Stadt Steyer. Sierminghofen, Neuzeny, and Granberg—all in Austria proper. Samples of iron, brass and geveral hardware, of a very primitive but substantial and useful character, are‘also exhibited, for the purpose of showing the low prices at which these articles can be produced. Some fine speci- mens Of files and other tools are shown, which, for temper and quality, will bear comparison with those of any otber country. The samples of wire nails and tacks from the w: rks of Count Dubsky, in Bobemia are exceedingly curious, some of them deing 80 small ard fine as to puzzle ove as to their uses. The wire nails ceem to be pointed by four cuts of a machine, and they have the improvement of the screw thread near the head. There nails are very much superior to the common iron ones, in tenacity, and-it is sur rising that they do not come into more general use. i short, the iron and bardware section of this depart ment will well repay the irspection of the visiter, the forms of some of the instruments and tools being very pecoliar, and the quality of the articles in gene- ral excellent. “Wim order in some marasure to remedy the absense of a priced catalogue, » book of inveices has been propared for ibe ipspeetion of the publie, and may be referred to im the department. Our North Carolina Correspondence. Newsern, N. C., Sept. 30, 1853. Great Enterprise in North Carolina—Rauroad from Beaufort to Memphis—The Deep River eal Fields— Progressive Strides of Beaufort, &e. We desire to ca!l the attention of our commercial metropolis to a great exterprise projectel, and partly accomplished, in the State of North Carolina. ‘This project is a line of railroad from the por: of Beaufort to Tennessee, there to connect with the road which is coming east from Memphis. This road will furnish the most direct route from the At- lantic to the rich valley of the Mississippi. It will traverse the most abundant and varied mineral re- gions of this contizent—mines of iron, copper, coal, plumbago, and gold, of surpassing richneas—border- ing its route through the mountain regions of this State. To the accomplishment of this great work, the energies of a State who, when she works, works in earnest, are directed. About one-fourth of the road ‘s under contract, and for the rest surveys and estimates are being made. New York is interested in this great scheme, and yet most of yoar citizens, probably, have never heard of it. “ Beaufort,” say you; ‘what is is,and where is it?” It is au old seaport, about ten miles southwest of Cape Loekout. It looks southwardly, directly out upon the Atlantic, through old Topsail Inlet. Bean- tort is the finest harbor tor ships on the Atlantic coast routh of the Chesapeake. Vessels drawiu; twenty feet at mean-tide can orvss the bar, cade when inside. auchor in a beaatifal, broad and deep roadstead. Vesvels can pass in aud out of the har- bor with the wind from almost any quarter; and, with a moderate breeze, in twenty wat Atos from the time of igh eg? auchor they can be at sea clear of the bar. The climate of Besufort is remarkably salubrious. It is the favcrite watering place on our coast. Fevers incident to our alluvial formation are bere evtirely wnkuown. From Cape Lookout to- wards the South Carslina const the shore sweeps in westward, aud Beaufoat is thus so situated that there the prevailing breezes of summer, south and southwest. are tea breezes, From this fine harbor the proposed railroad runs west, through the towns of Newbern, Goldsboro’; Raleigh, Greeveboro’ and Salisbury, and Blue Ridge, through Tennessee to Memphis we hope to meet the great Pacific Railroad, so that we may bave one continnous line, running nearly in the samme parallel! of latitude, from Beaufort 9a the Atlantic to Sen Fravcisco on the Pacific. We coa- mend this route to the consideration of Mr. Benton, before he makes his anticipated great speech of the ace This is no faucy sketch. The road is under con- tract from Goldsboro to Salisbury. Charters have been grepted for the exiension east and west, and Furveys and é-timates are being made for the whole route through North Carolina, under the direct’on of the State authorities. Capitalists are purchasiog all the 1as@s tn the vicinity of this harbor, and lots for a city of consideruble size are being rapidly disposed of. The harbor, by river a-d sound navigation, is oomnected with ail the rich agiicultural districts of eastern North Carolina. A road is olso projested, and now being surveyed, from this port to the coal fields of Deep river, These fields of coal, according to the report of Prof. Emmons, formerly geologist for the State of New York, rank amovg the finest avd most abundant deposits on this continent Beaufort, your waer- chants will perceive. is a very desivable point for a cepot of coal, being immediately on the Atlantio, aoout balf way between New York and the great commercial ports of the South, accessible to the | Jargest ships, aud within sixty miles of that great highway of the Atlontic, the Gulf Stream. The attention of Wull street is directed to these things. Rip Van Winkle is waking up; both his eyes are open, ard when he gets <airly on bis legs and stretches hinelf, you will behold n young giant.

Commercial Importance of Rio—Navigation of the Amazon—The Notorious Commodore Coe, &c. We are tired out bere of the unremitting attention paid by you and other able editors, to Cuba, Spain, and Mexico, to the neglect of this most important Empire of Brazil, with whom our relations, present and to come, are of vastly more importance than those we have with any other power, except Eagland. One wou'd suppose that neither the government nor * the press of the United States was aware of the valne of our commerce with Brazil, and the invalaable benefit to be derived by usfrom the navigation of the Amezon. This navigation of the Amazon is the great American question of the day—far mora im- portant than Cuba annexation or Nicaragua canals, We can get along without either Cuda or the canal; but we lose the trade with Evusdor, Peru, New Granada and Bolivia, unless we obtain a right of way upon the Amszon. The claim of Brazil to the exclu- sive right to the mouth of the Amazon is tuo rliicu- lous to be considered. Bolivia and Pera have rivera as larze as our Ohio, but cannot trade with us, be- cause Braz'l owns the entrance to the sex. A natural law gives a!l vations owning rivers which rua fate the ocean, @ right of way to the occan. This is call- ed by the authorities an imperfact right—but I oan: not see wherein it is not perfect and indispatable. » Are Bolivia and Peru to be obliged forever to send their prodacts over the Andes an round Cape Horn to us, becaure Brazil will no. permit them arignt of way to the sea, and wisbes to monopolize the trade of those republics? Do get an atlas, aud read Lieut. Maury’s letters upon the Amazon, publisted in the Hararp, and then see it you can't let the .eople kuow what they are losing in this part of the world. Brazil refuses to make treaties witn other nations, (we are not the only one excepted,) and wishes to keep the river sea to herself. Is she to do so? jommodore Cve. the commander of the late Dlock- eding squadron of Urquiza at Buenos Ayres, has ar- aired! here in the United States ship Jamestown, on toard of which vessel be fled for protection, after hav- ing, a8 is reported—witn how much truth I cannot say——sold his squadron to the city of Buenos Ayres for ten thousand pieces of gold, or $160,000. The fact that such 4 man should be received asa guest aud peseenger on board an Awerican vessel of war hag naturally created considerable excitement here. ‘ Astantous. Our Cleveland Correspondence, CuRveLAnD, Ohio, Oct. 9, 1863, The Woman's Rights Convention—Daguerréotype View of the Scenes, Incélents, and Curious Speeches—Plan of Future Operations, &c. On arriving in this forest city early this week, I found a National Woman’s Rights Conveation in the full tide of successful progress. The mistress spirits of the nation had come together, and were having an oh-be-joyful time—a high order sort of tea party— full houses, thrilling eloquence, eager listeners, showers of shillings and thanders of appliuse. It ‘was a protracted meeting of three days, culminating and dissolving last evening. The business of drafting resolutions, appointing committees, and making de- sultory speeches, exhausted the first day. The second day was devoted to the merciless grinding into very small powder of the Rev. John Chambers, of Phila delpbia, aud Gen. Carey, of this State, two gentlemen who have become very suddenly celebrated for get- ing excited at the World’s Temperance Convention last month in New York, on account of the ap 2ear- ance in said Convention of the Very Right Rev. Antoinette L. Brown, who was lately ordained shep- herdess of a flock of sheep in South Batler, Wayne county, New York, by the Hon. Gerrit Smith, mem- ber of the next Congress. Gen. Carey suffered badly, and some over kind temperance friend tried to save him and get him endorsed by reaolation asa tem- perance man, but it was nullum goum ; his breach of gallantry had been too flagrant, and though the Rev. Antoinette herself seconded the resolution to temper Justice with merey, it secured only two votes, ard the vote to layon the table must have been crushing to the General’s feelings. The women, however, appear really in earnest in pursuit of their “ rights,” and brought torward some laine measures to secure them—such as the lding of twelve conventions, one each minth during the year, in as many different States. They also adopted resolutions, and took up contributions to pay for getting up three essays or reporte—one a digest of all the laws in the several States, in any way bearing: upon the rights of woman, especially those operat against her—one upon the eduea- tional facilities and disabilities of woman, and one upon her industrial avocations, and the best means of elevating and extending them. Mrs. Rose, of New York, touched upon the diverce question, and very calmly but drmly warned her sisters that they aust meet it now or sometime. It was a spirit that would not was ready forit. By the way, redict that this question is going to be the rock on which these wo- men’s rights’ people will split. It will soon cause @ fluttering on this just now very harmonious dove- cote. There will them bea tremendous sight of de- fining of positions, of putting the hand t» the plough and Jooking back, or, te make a conchological slassi- fication, a ranging of parties under soft and hard hatte Then we shail see several thiags that we all see. Mn. Aldrich, of Cincinnati, read a brilliant paper on Individusl Sovereignty, but it was all a mass of pockey and isolated gems, gravitating to no end. she either knows uotaing of the Long Islaud kind — of individual sovereignty, or else she treated the sub- | ject thus ginverly because she was a little afraid of it, Lucretia Mott and Lucy Stone were the busy bees of the Convention. Lucy is ull sweetness, and moved like a gentle Joan, auima‘ing her sister host to deeds of desperate daring aguinst the tyrant man. Lncre- tia is a little vinegary, and denounced John Cham- bers’s pulpit as ‘‘bis coward castle.” Mrs. Lydia A. Jenkins, of Geveva, New York, is one of the ewest and brightest of ‘the stars that bave Jately risen among these luminaries, Sne has the name of being an excellent physiologist, and has choren oe kr opel ort bed Oecd — Lyre ed peetry and eloquence to eufurce its greatly ne truths. She adorns a Bloomer almost Pf well ag Lucy herself. On the last dsy of the Convention, Joseph Bar- ker, of this State, one of the master spirits of the late Hartford Axti-Bible Convention, presented an argument to prove that the Bible concemped the Woman's Rights movement, and that all priesta, editors of religious newspapers, and others wile be- lieved the Bible, were right in denouncing the move- ment. After, as he probably supposed, proving this to a demonstration, he went en to show that the movement was right, and the Bible was of no more authority against it than avy ether book. ‘This stirred up a storm of excitement and opposi- tien, and brought out two or three Doctors of Divini- ty, inclucing Rev. Antoinette. She made a very in- genious effort to break the force of Barker's sledge- bauimer logic, and to show that the Bible did really favor the rights of woman. The Rev. Dr. Nevis, of th's city, snoke to this question also, supporting Miss Brown. While be was speaking, Wm. L. Garrison deuounced him as “ evi- dently a blackguard anda rowdy,” which remark drew down one of those storms of hisses to whieh he is so well accustomed, acd which by this time mast be old music in his ears. The Convention waa characterized by very fair de- cerum. There were excitement and feeling, some angry passion, though but littie disorder. Mrs. Mott avd Lucy closed the Convention with very feeling addresses. The former sharpened a everybody else’s angles, and succeeded admirably rounding off her own. } The Western conveyances are crowded, and all a hotels are ‘ull. On the night of my arrival here th Lake Shore mail traiu was so overladen aud impeded that it failed to connect with the outgoing steamers and trains, avd it poured an aralanche of passen gers upan the hotels. It was amusing to see the crowd at some of the principal houses. ‘he book of registry were besieged, and a line had to be formed, as we do at the New York Post Office, it order to give each comer his tara. Occasionally om or two sanguine indivisuals world try to ring in ou of order, but they wera very civilly snubbed by thr courteous clerks, & (a the Post Office officials, and as sured that they must fall iato lire.
