of the ground near the same spot was
also discovered part of human skeleton,
the jaw-bone, retaining seve-
raj teeth, which leave no room to doubt
that this was the ancient Indian cemetry.

\ british Cotton Monufactures.--W
dIlately gave an account from authentic dt
n .lcumcnts, of the woollen manufactures cal
ried on in Great Britain. From the sam
source, we have ascertained that abot
,il240, 900 hands, or persons, chiefly children
IS are employed in the spinning of cotto
lie thread. These manufacture as muc
n thread by the power of water or stear
'e and the application of the new improve
machinery as could have been done by
4 millions eight hundred thousand persoI
E. by the finger only. Comparatively the1
% are but few consumers of this immen
u nIproduction in Great Britain. 1t is take
4|by about 100 millions, Russians, Pole
Germans, and others, in thread, and
X about $50 millions of the inhabitants
I'd North and South America, Asia, &c. b
ttoIsides home use, and the consumption
o, the colonies in every quarter.-Calcnl
m tions have been made, by ws,ah it appea
he that the improved powes 0Ysstsson,negy'
Great Britain alone, has in the last for
n years increased to such point, that
'it| now executes or produces as much of for
ed fashioned material, as could have be
I'D done formerly by mere manual labour

ms Iof Rhode Island have recently decit
3ke,|that the benefit of the Insolvent act
s ssi 1856, heretofore obtained by debtor
