An Account of the American Cotton Manu- factory, established at Philadelphia,
(Concluded from our paper of Friday last.)
A Variety of obvious circumstances, attending this experiment, concur to render the prospects of the cotton manufacture much more encouraging than it is proved to be by the profit abovementioned. The price given for flax was from 9d to 1s 2d, and it may now be purchased of a good quality, of the remains of last year's crop, at 7d. The attention paid this season to the cultivation of that article affords every reason to expect it will be bought at 6d halfpenny, and lower in future years. Already then has half the raw materials fallen as 150 to 100, the chain of all the goods having been hitherto made of linen yarn. The cotton that has been worked up, cost on a medium 2/7 three farthings per lb. and it may now be procured at 2/ to 2/3, a reduction of price that could hardly have been hoped for, considering the many restraints laid by foreign nations on the exportation of that article. The southern states, which have begun the cultivation of cotton, will keep it at a reasonable price, should it succeed there, and of this there remains very little doubt. Dying and calandering heretofore cost 4d. per yard, but these probably will be done hereafter on much lower terms. Spinning and weaving have been more expensive than they will be in future, for the factory being partly to employ the poor, the manufacturing committee were less particular about wages than a person would be, who should carry on the business as his private occupation. It will be proper to inform the board that many more spinners and weavers offered than could be then employed in the factory.
It is not unreasonable to suppose that more economy of day-labor, and less waste of raw materials, would take place in a private manufactory than in this public one, when it is remembered, that each member of the manufacturing committee had a separate private business to pursue. This circumstance led to the employment of a person to attend the sales of the goods at constant wages, which, if the manufacturer did it himself, would leave an addition to his profit, or if the factory was ten times as great, that business might be done by one person. The Philadelphia goods considerably exceed British articles of the same kind in weight, so that a great saving might be made in the quantity of the raw materials used. In the mean time they must be considered by every reflecting consumer as really worth more money than European goods of the same fineness, for that which is heaviest will be proportionally substantial and lasting. The price of labor having been heretofore a just objection to manufacturing in the United States, it is evident that the acquisition of machines must be a capital advantage. As they have been found to yield so handsome a profit on so small a scale, and where the manufacture is one half of linen yarn, which the machines do not make, so it is very certain that more extensive machines, moved by horses or water, and a cotton chain, as well as a cotton filling, must increase the manufacturer's profit exceedingly; and the saving of manual labor being the great object, your committee consider these two circumstances as worthy of the most peculiar notice, and that they should always be kept in remembrance. Water machines have been found best adapted to making the cotton chain, but until they shall be obtained, cotton yarn fit for warp, it is believed, may be imported to yield a profit directly from India, and thus may manufactures be rendered in another instance advantageous to foreign commerce. As the European companies carefully avoid the importation of cotton yarn, the American merchants will have no rivals in the purchase of that article, which is much more compact, according to its value, than china ware, bohea tea, and some other India goods. The American ships from India proper, having abundance of room, may bring it with great convenience.
The want of one implement, called the burner, to finish the jeans, prevented their appearing as fine as they really were, and probably occasioned a diminution of the price. This being now obtained, the manufacture will bring its real value, and better sustain a competition with imported goods. Should any private person or company establish a cotton manufactory, several advantages would be gained in the present state of things besides the reduction of flax, cotton, fuel, provisions, rents and labour. The carding machine, for instance, which cost 100l. may now be obtained for 60l. or less. A Jenny of 80 spindles, which cost the society 28l. can now be procured for 15l. and so of smaller implements and utensils. Weavers might be got from the country on more moderate terms, and new hands, who may emigrate, perhaps still lower. An evident loss of money arose from the want of a proper bleach yard, a difficulty that cannot long continue. The workmen, except two, were unskilled in the cotton branch, and though linen weavers become excellent weavers of cotton goods, yet it took some part of the time between April and August, and occasioned some expense to instruct them. Most of the spinners with the machines had much to learn and little means of instruction, whereas any number may now be taught. The factory was in a remote place, the best that offered to make the experiment; but a private manufacturer, when making
a permanent establishment, would purchase a situation in which his goods would sell quickly and to the best advantage.
Your committee being anxious to ascertain the real profits on the cotton manufacture, and wishing to check their estimate by every method in their power, requested of two of the most experienced members of the manufacturing committee (long used to the cotton business) an accurate calculation of the expense of making a given quantity of olive coloured jean with a linen chain. This was accordingly done by each without any communication between them, and the particulars were minutely set down. Flax was rated at 7d. per yard, dying and calandering at 4d. &c. The result of one estimate was 2s. 5d. and of the other 2s. 4d. 1/2 per yard for olive-coloured jean, equal in appearance to the British quality, which was sold in the piece at 3s. 3d. per yard last summer. It must be observed that the American goods, on which the calculation was made, are above half an inch wider and much heavier than the imported, and that the rates of labour, and prices of the raw materials were fixed on a medium rather higher than they would prove to a careful manufacturer. This fact must give very great satisfaction, as it confirms the truth of those consequences which have been drawn from the foregoing investigation.
Your committee, having carefully examined into every part of this business, and thus fully stated to the board the facts and observations that occurred to them, impressed with the clearest conviction of the importance of the cotton branch, beg leave to recommend, in the strongest terms, the prosecution of this manufacture by fresh subscriptions, until a knowledge and due sense of its value shall induce some proper persons, either citizens or foreigners, to undertake the business.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 24.
A Gentleman who lately saw an account published of the number of shipping in the port of Philadelphia, was pleased with the flourishing condition of commerce in that city. Motives of curiosity prompted him to ascertain the number of sea vessels in this port, and at present the number is as follows:—
Ships - - 22 Snows - - 2 Brigs - - 36 Schooners - - 17 Sloops - - 42 119
Sea vessels in the port of Philadelphia.
Ships - - 29 Brigs - - 31 Snows - - 1 Schooners - - 10 Sloops - - 26 Polacres - - 2 99
Total 99
On the 12th inst. in lat. 38, 52, Captain Low spoke the ship Albion, —, from Glasgow, bound to this port, out 11 weeks, all well.
Yesterday arrived the brig Rambler, Keaquick, from Oland; Schooner Eagle Gardner, Halifax; sloop Ann, M c Aullin, ditto; and —, Webster, Rhode-Island.
On Saturday cleared out at the custom-house, sloop Two Sisters, Smith, New-Providence; Delight Campbell, ditto; and Sally, Griffin, Killingsworth.
On Wednesday the 12th inst. in the morning, Capt Brown of the sloop Nancy, arrived at Philadelphia, spoke a sloop from North-Carolina, which informed that the day before, she was in company with a sloop bound to New-York, on board of which were the crew of the sloop Dolphin, of New-Jersey, which had been cast away on Cape Hatteras. We have no particulars of this disaster.
On the 4th inst. arrived at Charleston, the sloop Hannah, Capt. Joseph Northam, after a tedious passage of 30 days from Boston. In the latitude of Cape Hatteras, saw a vessel bottom upwards, with her cargo, consisting of deal boards, green chairs, apples, potatoes, &c. floating on the water. She was supposed to be upwards of 40 tons burthen,
An ACT to prevent the Slave-Trade, and for granting Relief to the Families of such unhappy Persons as may be kidnapped or decoyed away from this Commonwealth.
Passed in Massachusetts, March 26, 1788.
WHEREAS, by the African trade for slaves, the lives and liberties of many innocent persons have been, from time to time, sacrificed to the lust of gain:
And whereas, some persons residing in this commonwealth, may be so regardless of the rights of human kind, as to be concerned in that unrighteous commerce:
Be it therefore enacted by the senate and house of representatives, in general court assembled, and by the authority of the same, That no citizen of this commonwealth, or other person residing within the same, shall for himself, or any other person whatsoever, either as master, factor, supercargo, owner or hirer, in whole or in part, of any vessel, directly or indirectly, import or transport, or buy or sell, or receive on board his or their vessel, with intent to cause to be imported or transported, any of the inhabitants of any state or kingdom in that part of the world called Africa, as slaves, or as servants for term of years; and that every citizen, inhabitant or resident, as aforesaid, who shall directly or indirectly receive on board his or their vessel, with intent to import or transport, or cause to be imported or transported, any of the said inhabitants of Africa, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this act, and be thereof lawfully convicted, shall forfeit and pay the sum of fifty pounds, for every person by him or them so received on board, with intent to be imported or transported; and the sum of two hundred pounds for every vessel fitted out, with intent to, and that actually shall be employed in the importation or transportation aforesaid, to be recovered by action of debt, in any court within this commonwealth, proper to try the same; the one moi-
ety thereof to the use of this commonwealth, and the other moiety to the person who shall prosecute for and recover the same.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all insurance which shall be made within this state, on any vessel fitted out with intent as aforesaid, and having on board slaves, in order to be transported from Africa, as aforesaid, or upon any slaves so shipped on board of any vessel for transportation, shall be void and of no effect; and this act may be given in evidence under the general issue, in any suit or action commenced for the recovery of insurance so made.
And whereas divers peaceable inhabitants of this commonwealth, or residents therein, have been privately carried off by force, or decoyed away under various pretences, by evil-minded persons, and with a probable intention of being sold as slaves without the same; and although sufficient provision is made for public justice in such case, by the common law, and an act, entitled "An act establishing the right to, and the form of the writ de homine replegiando;" yet no provision is made for bringing actions for damages by the friends or families of any inhabitants who may be so carried off, or decoyed away, during his or her life-time.
Be it therefore further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That when any inhabitant, or resident of this commonwealth, shall be so carried off, or decoyed away, it shall be lawful for any friends of such injured inhabitant or resident, to bring forward and prosecute to final judgment and execution, before any court of law proper to try the same, any action for damages against any person concerned in decoying or carrying off such inhabitant or resident, in the name of such inhabitant or resident, and in the same manner, and to the same effect, as if thereunto fully authorised by letter of attorney from such inhabitant or resident, for that purpose: Provided, nevertheless, such friend prosecuting as aforesaid, shall give to the judge of probate, for the county wherein such injured party last dwelt, good & sufficient bond, with sureties, to the satisfaction of such judge of probate, conditioned that such prosecutor shall pay the monies that he may recover in damages as aforesaid, to the said injured party, on his or her return to this commonwealth, if that shall happen by the time when such execution is satisfied, and if not, shall apply such monies to the use and maintenance of the wife, children or family of the injured party, in proportion, at such periods, and in such way and manner as the said judge shall decree best for the interest of such wife, children, or family, in the absence of such injured party.
Provided also, and be it further enacted, That in case the defendant who shall be prosecuted, as is provided in and by this act, shall be acquitted by the court before whom the trial may be, the said court shall not only render up judgment for legal costs, but for such reasonable damages as the said defendant hath sustained by such prosecution: Provided also, that this act do not extend to vessels which have already failed, their owners, factors or commanders, for and during their present voyage, or to any insurance that shall have been made previous to the passing of the same.

THE late earl of Chatham, who bore no good will to a certain physician, was rallying him one day about the inefficacy of his prescription. To which the doctor replied, "He defied any of his patients to find fault with him."—"I believe you, (replied the witty earl) for they are all dead."

ELECTUARY
For destroying Worms in children and grown Persons.
THE Proprietor informs the Public that he has received a supply of the very best ingredients with which this Electary is compounded, and as complaints were made that the last, sold by the Apothecary was not good, the proprietor assures the Public it must have been owing to the principal article in the composition being too old, they now may be supplied with it as usual, at Mr. Wainwright's Store, warranted good by the proprietor. Experience, the best criterion to go by, evinces the Electary the best preparation yet discovered for the uses expressed in its title. The ready sale it has heretofore met with, is a proof of its success, and requires little further commendation, save that it so effectually kills the worms, that they are seldom or never brought away alive, but mostly jellied or like humors occasioned by colics. Pots at 4s. with printed directions as above. Nov. 22.

On the first Day of February next, Will be PUBLISHED in this City, THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE, AND UNIVERSAL REGISTER. FOR JANUARY, 1789. Being No. I of Volume II. BY A SOCIETY OF GENTLEMEN.
THE extensive circulation of the American Maga- zine for the year past, has induced a desire to en- large its plan very considerably; and by adding to it a UNIVERSAL REGISTER, to embrace a variety of important objects, which were beyond the reach of a work of this kind in the ordinary method. Instead of confining its view to light essays, and valuable fugitive pieces, the present design is to trace to their source the historical and political concerns of the United States. The efforts of an individual, however strenuous, would be unequal to so arduous an undertaking; in considera- tion of which, the original proprietor was led to the idea of associating a number of LITERARY CHARACTERS, in hopes that their united exertions might produce a work worthy of a place in the Libraries of the Literati—not only entertaining to readers of the present day, but em- inently useful to posterity. Several gentlemen, therefore are now united as proprietors, and have already possessed themselves of many valuable materials; of which that extensive and important collection made by EBENEZER HAZARD, Esq.—the Records of the United Colonies of New-England, and Geo. Winthrop's Journal, or History of the settlement of Massachusetts, form a part.
Their plan is to publish monthly; and that each pub- lication shall consist of 104 pages, 56 of which will con- tain such useful and entertaining essays, in prose and verse, as are usually found in Magazines. The re- mainder will be devoted to American State Papers, such as Royal Grants, Charters, Commissions, Instructions, &c. &c. whether to companies or individuals, with other interesting official papers, and authentic manu- scripts which respect the Discovery, Settlement, and History of America, and particularly of the UNITED STATES. These will be arranged in chronological order.
It has been often observed that the Anglo Americans are the only people on earth who can trace their history by the indubitable testimony of authentic records and un mutilated official papers: and it has been as frequent- ly lamented by the lovers of useful science, that no par- ticular account of the origin and complete establishment of this rising empire hath yet been given to the world. The documents upon which it should be founded, have never been heretofore collected for public inspection; and it is degrading to seek for such a work in a foreign country.
The utility and very interesting nature of this under- taking are so obvious, that the Proprietors cannot but flatter themselves they shall be favored with the public patronage, which they earnestly solicit; and that gene- rous subscriptions will enable them to prosecute with spirit the most expensive attempt of the kind which has ever been made in America.
From the advantageous situation of New-York— its extensive and increasing commerce—its being the seat of Federal Government, and consequently the center of intelligence, will be derived many peculiar ad- vantages: But on a very extensive correspondence, and on an unequalled mass of materials already collected, the proprietors rest their principal hopes of success. Gentlemen suitably qualified in the different professi- ons are engaged to furnish the proprietors of this work with impartial reviews of new publications. Religious and political controversies will not be ad- mitted into this Magazine. The first volume of the Register will contain, among other curious papers, the Pope's Bull, confirming the right to the West-Indies to Spain; and the grant to Cabot and his sons for discovering unknown countries.
CONDITIONS. I. The Magazine will be published monthly; and consist of fifty-six pages, printed on fine paper, and new letter; containing all the variety of useful and entertain- ing essays, in prose and verse, which is usual in such publications, and be delivered to subscribers at HALF a GUINEA a year. This part of the work may be sub- scribed for separately. II. Forty-eight pages of state papers, or American history, will be annexed to the Magazine monthly. This part of the work will also be executed on fine pa- per and a new type, and the pages to be numbered as to form separate volumes.—The price of the Magazine, with this addition, making 1248 pages, will be THREE DOLLARS a year. III. No money is required at the time of subscribing, but the most punctual payments will be expected at the end of every six months. Gentlemen of leisure and ingenuity are requested to favor the proprietors with original essays; and all communications addressed to the Editor of the American Magazine and Universal Register, sent, free of expence, to the Printing-Office of FRANCIS CHILD, No. 190, Water-street, New-York, will be gratefully received, and duly attended to. ** The present subscribers for the American Maga- zine, who also wish to be supplied with the Register, are desired to signify it to those persons with whom they left their subscriptions. SUBSCRIPTIONS received by the Printer hereof. NEW-YORK, November 10, 1788.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The Sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre- serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri- tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Duzel, Stephen Crossfield.
