Arthur Young, stated in the year 'B9, that 20
years before, the whole cotton trade of G. Brit
ain did not return two hundred thousand pound
to the country fir raw materials and labor com
bined ; and only 50,000 spindles were employ
ed in spinning the cotton wool into yarn.
In 1739, the number of spindles was two mil
lions, and the returns for manufactures exceed
ed seven millions sterling. There were then
employed in that business, 143 watermills, a
bove 20,000 hand engines or Jennies, and a
bout 26,000 men, 31,000 women, and 53,000
children engaged in spinning alone ; and in the
subsequent Rages of the manufacture, 133,000
men, 59,000 women, 48,000 children, making
an aggregate of 450,000 persons. Above 20
millions of pounds of cotton were used every
year in this manufactory, equal in value to a
million and a half sterling, and when manufac
tured, to four millions for the yarns onlrf This
manufacture is said to have inercafed immense
ly since 1789 ; and fortunately for those parts
of the United States which cultivate cotton,
their produce in this artiele has risen into high
estimation, and vast quantities are exported at a
good price. —
UNCOMMON CIRCUMSTANCE.
A letter from Savannah, received at New-York,
data! fun. ll,fays, " This morning opened to view
a sane which was never before witnessed by the olds
inhabitants of this place —that is, the snow two feet
&,b. upon a level: and it fill continues snowing."
{, A letter received at Bojlon, fays the snow fell
30 inches in 24 hours.
Gen. WASHINTON°tIied General and com
mander in chief, (and not Lieutenant General)
of the Armies of the United States. He was a
Field Marfoal of France ; but never recognized
by that title in consequence of a clause in the
Conftiturion of the United States.
Origin cf Ne^feapers.
In the beginning of the sixteenth century, the
Republic of Venice was diftra&ed with dissen
sions between fomc of their principal families :
at which time there were in Venice fevcral men
of diflinguifhed abilities, who espoused different
parties ; but being members of the church, chose
to combat their adversaries, and support their
cause with their pen ; and that their arguments
might become universal, and fall into the hands
of the meanest of the people, their productions
were fold for the finalleft piece of coin then in
ciculation at Venice, which was called a gazeta;
and from this newspapers have been named
gazettes, and all writers of public intelligence,
gazetteers.

One asking a lazy young fellow, what made

only two reasons, pro and con. It is my part
to hear what is said on both tides ; and by the
time the cause is over, dinner is ready.

SPRINGFIELD, 21, 1800.
MR. JOHN ASHLEY, an induf : ous and
refpedtable farmer, now living in Weft-
Springfield, and a member of the church there,
some years since gave to the clinch a fund fuf
ficient for the support of the communion table,
and to the pariffi a valuable library, and a tra&
of ground for the purpose of burying the dead.
In addition to thofc benefactions he has lately
given to the fame parish the fam of 4335 dol
lars, to lie as a perpetual fund for the support of
the ministry. A lingular example of Christian
liberality ! There have been instances of legacies
given for charitable uses to be appropriated af
ter the Donor's decease. But such a donation,
not merely intended by will, but actually execu
ted by the Donor's hand,has rarely been known.
We gaze with momentary furprize at the bril
liant actions of heroes in pursuit of glory ;
but we more calmly admire, and longer rc-r
member the pious, pure and disinterested bene
factions of the Christian in support of that bene
volent and divine religion, which is calculated
to diffufe peace and good will on earth, and in
tended to insure a happy immortality above
the ikies.
