Thk Uses of Iron —Iron I ocses.— In the
course of Mr. Silver’s capita) I cturc on Ir. n,
B a , t he Franklin Institute, a few evenings since
9 he designated a few of the vs ious objects to
|| which iron is applied, he enur erutes steam and
■ sailing ships, canal boats, rail ro dears, carriages,
■ fences, bridges, aqueducts, wide wheels, pumps,
p| architectural columns and o nainents, house
p fronts, mantels, chimneys, simtt rs, awning posts,
| picture frames, &c. In Eiu ; la d, he said, large |
- manufactories are built wholly >1 inn ; and for
many, it has been partially use in this coun.ry.
The buildings of the Philadeip ia Gas Gompa- ,
* nv, are nearly all iron. Al c d, i .uch of the inte
i ,t- ’ new Hall of the Academe of Natural Sci-
I ences. The basement of the louse at the N.
IW. corner of.Bth and Cheny Irctl. is of iron ;
| and any observer, he added, .tliuot tail to see,
I that for freshness and finenels. it eclipses the
£ marble fronts around. Thf* lower sections
of the pillars of the portico o ! the Church, in
Tentn and F’ilhert street, are iollow cast iron.
* The beautiful front of the Min rs Bank at Potts
■ ville, the steps, moulding, corn ce and statuary,
J are of iron. The portable iron boats in which
I merchandize is brought from I ,c far-west, are of
I iron. An iron steamer is nm floating in tri*
I umph, on the Ohio; and the 1 nglish ship Arch-
I imedes, is of iron, in the Text i trade. He ex
r jressnJ a belief that before mat y years, iron hou-
I ses would be advertised, and d livered tor occu
| pancy, at three months notice- -and that houses
r so farmed, to the value of n llions of dollars,
| would be exported from Pen jsylvania to 1 ex- I
* as, the West Indies and fSoutl America. Such
| bouses, he added, of assorted patterns, are ad- j
t vertised at thisiime in Londoi . by a Company
K who engaged to put them up >r country seals,
i and at tie very lowest rates. T ,e lecture througl.-

Jeu d’F.sprit —ln a recent lebate in the House ,

with much self-complacency of his democracy,and

to the fact of having lost abro aer at Lundy’s iane
daring the last war.
Mr. vioigan.uf New York, me of the youngest
members of the House, at tic inclusion of a most

AN IRISH lELCBY.
Awav, bonnie bark, to rn; dear native land !
Bv the’lakes of Kiliarny r y cottage doth stand ;
I’ve wander’d too long fre n my own native shore,
But I seek it in gladness, 1 ) leave it no more ;
i Whe her basking in sunli ht where Italy’s sky
Gives a tinge to the check and a light to the e\ e;
Or roaming the land ot th orange and vine.
Their Ixauties but made 1 e think, Krin, of thine
I’ve heard the glad sonj , and I’ve seen the gay
dance.
In the homes of the iig it-hearted daughters of

But thv* longer I’ve wand' r’d away from thy shore,
My heart, darling Erin, b it loved thee the more.
And “oft in the stilly rig t.” on the far strand,
I’ve sung ti e loved songs of rny own father land;
For winding the valley i r climbing the hill,
The “Harp of my count! ” was dear to me still;
I’ve breath’d her sweel n asic w lien no one was by,
To see my tears fall or b list to rny sigh ;
And her time-hallowed melodies brought to my
mind.
The home I had left, and the friends lett behind ;
The cloud from my orov/Lnd the tear from my eye
Are gone, and forever ! —>ny heart has no sigh
