Workhouse, where, a few days ago, there suddenly appeared a party of em!grants—men, women and chil- dren — whose language the, officials were unable to understand, Interpreters were summoned, and the strangers were ad- dressed in French, German, Italian, Span. ish, Polish, Russian, and, finally, all the other European languages, but not one word did they understand, and their names, only eighty-four feet in length. She will be armed with Whitehead’s torpedoes, which will be discharged from her forward deck, The latest improvement about this phenomenal missile is that it can be set so as to return to“the surface at half-cock and }without exploding if it miss the object aimed at, and thus be safely picked up. Though fired from a deck above the sur- face of the sea, the torpedo will at once dive down to the distance wished, and then proceed in an unerring line on its mission of death and devastation, it being calcul: ated to make a breach of seventy feet in bursting. No vessel, however buiit, could long continue to float after such a blow, and the demoralizing effect of such a diss aster on the rest of a fleet may be easily least, the whole cost of which wou!d be but York Times says that during the present week there is a prospect of lively times in the iron business of the State concerning a proposed suspension of 60 days of all the iron manufacturers east and west of the Alleghanies. The lap-welded iron manu. facturers have had a long session here, when the question of suspending their branch of business came up and was lost by one vote, it requiring a unanimous yote to suspend, At the concluding session to- night it was agreed to postpone the consid. eration of the matter until co operation can be secured with the other branches of the trade. A general meeting will be held here at an early day, when the question will be considered, and there scems to be no doubt that 4 gre3t curtailment of even the small amount of manufacturing will result. In this view of the case the operators who are organizing under the name of the Sons of Vulcan are preparing for a strike if their wages are reduced, which course will, no doubt, be pursued west of the Alleghanies. The agreement regulating engaged in the iron manufactures expires tosmorrow. It is understood that§ the manufacturers as an associated body will not pay the rates for puddiing that have ruled for the past year, but will make a reduction.
