SEWING MACHINE FACTS.

The following interesting statistics we gather
from the quarterly returns, made, we believe, under
oath, by the several manufacturers of sewing ma-
chines throughout the United States. The figures
which we present, and which we have been at some
pains to collect, show at a glum: the wonderful
.growth and great i nportance of this branch of
Am,2rican manufactures. It will be observel that
one company alone has produced and sold within the
year over forty-three thousand machines. It is
somewhat remarkable that, during the recent stag-
nation in trade, this business has been but slightly,
if at all, affected. But below are the figures in de-
tail :

Sewing Machines Manufactured and Sold, as per Quar-
terly Returns, for the year ending June 10, 1867.
Double Thread Machines. Number.
The Singer M .nufacturing Co 43,053
The Wheeler and Wilson Mf. Co 33,055

The Grovo and Baker S. M. Co 32,999
Tho Howe Machine C 0..., 11,053
The Florence S. M. Co.
Tho Weed Sowing M. C 0...
Tho Elliptic Sewing M. Co
The .zEtna Sewing M. Co 2,958
The Finklo and Lyon S. M. Co. 2,48
The Umpiro Sowing M. Co 2,121
The Loavitt Sowing M. Cu 1,051

Total double thread machines 151,133
Siuglo Thread Machines. Number.
The Wilcox and Gibbs S. M. Co 14,152
The Shiw and Clark S. M. Co 2,692
The Goodspeed and Wyman S. M. Co 2,126

Total single thread machines 18,970

The foregoing facts and figures we find in the
Financial Chronicle of the 7th instant. About a
year or so ago, as our readers will remember, we
published a series of articles descriptive of some of
the great manufacturing interests in this country.
We then selected and described the immense estab-
lishment of the Singer Manufacturing Company,
located in this city, as the representative and lead-
ing concern in the department of sewing machines,
and we are now pleased to find that we did not in
the least exaggerate or over-estimate the importance
of the company in question. It is noteworthy and
somewhat suggestive that the Singer Company,
who did not, as we uuderssand, take the trouble of
visiting, or even sending their machines to the Paris
Exposition—who seemingly do not care in the least
for either gold medals or red ribbons, and whose
name is rarely seen in print—should nevertheless
eclipse all other sewing machine concerns in the
magnitude of their business. There is, of course, a
reason for all this, but we leave our readers to find
that out for themselves.—Home Journal.

THE GREAT REPUBLIC GOLD AND
SILVER MINING COMPANY.

The Bonds of the Great Republic Gold and Silver
Mining Company have been freely taken, notwith-
standing the unparalleled depression, to which there
seems to be no end. g, A Nevada Miner," in a
letter to the 11/all-street Journal, dated October 1,
gives the following information of lodes in the im-
mediate neighbourhood :
"The Manhattan Company have in sight in the
' Oregon' mine a very rich body of ore, so also have
the Midas Company in the Chicago mine. These
mines aro located in the rich belt of Lander Bill,
awl will continue without doubt to pay as they
advance in development. South of Austin, about
60 miles, is the Twin River district, where is located
the famous Murphy mine of the Twin River Com-
pany of New York. This is one of the great mines
of Nevada, taking for my proof the result of the
past month's operations, which netted the company
(thanks to the Stetefeldt furnaces) the handsome
sum of $44,000 coin, the gross product being nearly
$32,000. This company is now in a fair continu-
ous road to large dividends, as a chimney of the
very richest kind of ore had been opened prior to
my departure from Austin. The M'llonald Com-
pany, under the able management of J. ii. Boalt,
of Malt and Stetefeldt (of the Stetefeldt proce.4o is
a part of the Murphy mine, and developer just as
tine ore."

The Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Com-
pany have presented 111 rs. General Tom Thumb with a
beautiful little sowing machine. The body of the case is
20 inches high and 15 deep, made of richly-carved rose-
wood, inlaid with elaborate and brilliant arabesques in
pearl and gold, and lined with satin wood. The panels
aro painted with tasteful devices.
FAILURE OF A LIVERPOOL BANK.—LIVERPOOL,
MoND.l.l%—The Royal Bank, Liverpool, has suspended
payment this afternoon, in consequence of the refusal by
London banks to discount paper representing shipping
securities, which wore considered objectionable. The
liabilities are roughly estimated at from one and a half to
four millions, bat notliing accurate i#s yet known.
