NOVEL MACHINE.—In the Court Circular of last Sa-

Regent-street, had the honour of submitting for her
Majesty's and his Royal Highness's inspection yesterday,
the newly-invented sewing machine, and a coat sewn by
this process." The machine was originally invented by
an American citizen, but has been brought into practical
use by the Messrs. Nicoll, who have patented a peculiar
method of joining seams or edges together. The ma-
chine accomplishes six hundred stitches per minute, all
of which are stronger and finer than can be produced by,
the best hand labour. Messrs. Nicoll state the intro-
duction of the machine has not caused the dismissal of
even one of their numerous operatives, nor is it likely
to do other than to supply the great demand created
by the growing prosperity of the colonies, where this
class of labour is scarce and dear ; moreover, the un-
healthy stooping position of the workman will in future
be altogether superseded.
