this well-carned premium, she has proceded

~a hunk of 64in the pound in 4 days. Of the
finer staple, she can spin a hank in a week
wnen the weather ig favourabie. But the su
perfine, i e. about 100 hunks lin the pound,
requires nearly twice the tinte. She cannot
spin her superfine yarn, except in mild wea
ther, Frosty high winds, and excessive
droughty are equally unfuvourabic. She then
spins her coarse yarn, that is from 24 to 20
or 36 hanks in the pound.

The finest linen yarn ever imported into
Ireland did 101 exceed 40 or 44 hanks, in the
pound ; waercas one was sent to the jinen
bourd some years ago, by the earl of London
derry, and another, at a later date through
the Right. Hon, John Foster, of at least 64
hanksin the pound. About 2 years ago |
deposited In the museum of the Dublin So
cietyy a hank of equal fineness and one cut ol
421 threads, which the spinner, as she declar.
el to me, believed to be at least 14 hunks in
the pound finer. This rests on her declara
tion, because it was the first she had spun ol
80 fine a thread, and the quantity wuss 0 smai
that she had no weight by which she could
ascertain the fineness with accuracy.
