jeets were promulgated. At first the community were united in
their effort to promote the wishes of the leader, but in a short
time disorganization ensued. Some were idle, and some unwil-
ling, so that others became dissatisfied : thus the general cause
stood still, while many Individuals gave themselves up to selfish
bickerings and disputes."

MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED STATES.

(From the New York papers received yesterday.)

PonTsmouru, New Hampshire, Aug. 20.—1 n 1810 there
were in New Hampshire, about 12 manufacturing establishments,
with 5;956 spindles--and the whole amount of woollen, cotton,
linen, and tow-cloth manufactured by them, and by faMilies
throughout the State in that year, was only 4,224,135 yards.
There are now in this State more than 50 cotton and woollen
factories, and the amount of cloth manufactured annually cannot
be far from 30,000,000 yards. Some of the towns in the vicinity
of Portsmouth have within a few years been wonderfully changed
from agricultural to manufacturing pursuits. The factory esta-
blishments of Newmarket, Dover, Somersworth, Berwick, &c.
have made our neighbourhood a manufacturing district, and the
future good or had effects of this pursuit must in time have agreat
influence upon our prosperity..
In 1822, that part of Somersworth called Great Falls con-
tained but two dwelling-houses. Now the eyes of the visiter are
greeted with a pleasantly situated and beautiful village of between
sixty and seventy buildings, chiefly erected within the last two
years, either built of brick, or painted, and many of them of
the same size and appearance, and laid out with so much regu-
larity, that if exhibited in a picture, it would partake too much
of formality to appear natural. This is exclusively a manufactur-
ing village—nothing is to be seen but what has some relation to
the establishment.

Here are four factories, one for cotton, built of wood, live stories
(including basement and attic), 35 feet wide and 65 feet long,
containing 1,500 spindles, and manufactures 7,000 yards, No. 20,
cotton cloth weekly.

One of brick, five stories, 45 by 156 feet, containing nearly
6,000 spindles, and will manufacture from 16,000 to 18,000
yards, No. 40, cloth per week.
One of brick, six stories, 49 by 220 feet, exclusively for broad-
cloths.

One recently erected of brick, six stories high, 49 by 390 feet,
for cotton and woollen manufacture. This is the most extensive
building devoted to the manufacturing purpose in New Hampshire,
if not in New England.

There is also a building of brick, four stories high, 32 by 134
feet,occupied as a dyehouse for the manufacture of carpets, &c.,
another house of brick, three stories, 'a by 100 feet, for drying.
A building of brick, S 5 by 65 feet, for trip Inunmeri and machine
shops. There is also an extensive range of workshops ;40 dwell-
ing-houses of wood, two stories high, 24. by 40 feet; five eiten-
sive boarding houses ; five brick blocks, three stories, of 30 by
SO feet each ; three stores; and a great number of buildings, oc-
cupied by mechanics. A spacious and elegant brick hotel, three
stories high, has also been erected, where the traveller meets with
good accommodations.
The village contains about 1,500 inhabitants--about 1,000 of
whom are enrolled in the factory books. This establishment is
situated on Salmon Falls river, about three miles from tide waters.
The resources of the river are abundant, having extensive ponds
for reservoirs. The fall, at the controul of the Great Falls Com-
pany, is 120 feet, and only about one sixth of the power will be
used for the factories now built.
