COTTON SPINNING.

The unparalleled rapidity of Improvements in the
art OF Cotton Spinning, has Of late years been sub
ect of astonishment to the most saBguine still this
beautiful and beneficial process is capable of obtain
ing higher degree of perfection, and as it is the
branch OF manufacturing which evidently will be OF
the greatest importance to this country, no pains or
cxcron should be wanting to bring it to the highest
state oil improvement, and keeping It on an equal
footing with our great competitors in England. An
improvement has been made by the inventor OF the
present mode Of drawing Cotton now in general
use, j. e. with double heads and thee rows OF ro
leis, by which he proposes TO perform that opera
ton in more perfect manner, with less labour, on
a simplifed and less expensive machinery the prin
ciples of which he will explain and put the ma
chimes in operation for the manufacturers in Pha-
delpbia and its vicinity, who may wish it.--Manu
facturers who have not yet got their machinery in
Operation will find it their interest to investigate
this subject which may be done by leaving lhelr
address at this Office, directed to w. i. which will
be duly attended TO.

Eriract Of u letter from Corunna.

A poor girl bringing pail of water on her
head from the well, was shot through the cheeks
IN coming down the Gale Real two poor children
have also been shot his day the cruelty OF the en-
envy IS beyond description, in firing those poor
innocent and innoiiensiye people.
Il was most dreadful to hear the cries Of the wo
men and children all night Early in the evening
several houses were on fire in those streets, and
when The French perceived the poor inhabitants
bringing water to put the fires they in the most
cruel manner commenced heavy fire of grape
shot on the innocent people, and killed & wounded
several old men, women and children. | have been
myself to the hospital 10 see the poor creatures,
with shattered legs and arms, which they bear with
patience, and only wish to live to be reyenged on
their cruel invaders.'
The Boston Patriot makes the following remarks
upon the above.
Let the members of the Massachusetts Peace
Society reflect upon this, and then praise the hu
mdnity of Alexander The Deverer .; for this
sccptred miscreant is Prime pnover Of all the late
and present enterprises against the peace and rights
OF mankind
Let the calumniators Of the French Revolution
view some hundreds of helpless women and children,
mangled by grape shot and congreve rockets, and
writing and shrieking in the utmost extremilv of
human suffering, and then sing lie Deum on the
restoration OF the Bourbons.
Should man shoot child in the streets of Boston

HoRsE-RAcING IN VERMONT.

The Legislature Of Vermont has passed law
more efectually 10 prevent horse racing in that state
by large majority. When the bill was called up
for the second reading, Mr.. Sutton moved that it
be rejected. Mr.. Pierpoin, hoped the bill would
not be dismissed. The prerence for horse-racing,
he said, was indeed specious one-that of i'm
proving the breed of horses, but he believed the
practice degraded the breed Of men, more than il
improved the breed of horses.

FROM BARBADOS.

The papers give detail of the recent
destruction of the Methodist Chapel at
Bridgetown. After the destruction of
the building, and the flight of the mis-
sionary, printed handbill was issued,
headed "Great and Signal Triumph
over Methodism, and total destruction
of the Chapel" the occasion for which
is stated to have been the unprovoked
attacks which have been repeatedly
made upon the community, by the Meth
odist missionaries, otherwise known as
agents of the uillainous African Society 81
The handful concludes, by calling W on
g the lovers Of religion" to put an end to
Methodism and Methodist Chapels,
throughout the West Indies. A proc
lamaton was issued by the Governor, of.
fcring a reward of E,0O for the discov-
cry of the rioters. The day following,
notification appeared in handblls,
warning all persons who may appear
against the rioters, that they shall
receive that punishment which their
crime will justly merit, and concluding
by declaring their fixed determination
to put an end to Methodism in that ISL
and, and warning all preachers of that
persuasion net to approach its shores on
their peril. A letter from Barbados,
of the 9th October, says, the Governor
and Council have been sitting all day

and that no hole, opening, or appearance
from whence those substances emitted,
could possibly be discovered by the
strlctest scrutiny. On the next morn
ing ! made visit for the purpose Of
satisfying myself in company with Gen.
John Nicely and DR.. Thompson, and
soon found myself bound to assent to
the truth Of facts which puts even Gre
dulity itself TO the blush. We arrived
at the house ofJudge Prince at half past
8 O'Clock, A. NJ. and were informed by
Mrs. Prince, that nothing Of the kind
had made its appearance since sun sci,
the evening before. After waiting half
an hour, was about TO depart, presum-
ing that nothing of the kind would a
gain appear, when suddenly, the girl
who was walking the floor, turned
around with a smile, when discovered
lump of something like black blood.
about as thick, and nearly as black as
tar, near the size of IA cherry, Just be-
low the inner corner of her left eve.
which instantly removed, and found
the skin underneath perfectly clean,
smooth and solid. We caused her 10
SIT down, and examined the place with
the incest scrutiny, but no hole or ape
ture could be discovered. In precisely,
sixteen minutes, a lump of clean flesh
without any mixture Of blood, suddenly
made its appearance on the outside of
the skin, about the size of large bean.
which Gen. Nealy instantly removed,
when no hole or aperture in the skin
could be discovered. In six minutes
afterwards solid piece of bone, near
one eighth of an inch square, suddenly
made its appearance at the same place,
which being instantly removed, no hole
or aperture in the skin could be discov-
cred. Precisely fourteen minutes af-
forwards, lump Of clean flesh, as
large as the end Of a mans little finger
TO the first joint, suddenly appeared at
the same place. and in eight minutes
afterwards solid piece of bone, as
thick, and about half the length and
width ola large grain of corn, when
the incest scrutiny could not discern
any opening, or appearance Of any
aperture from whence those bones and
Jumps Of flesh proceeded. During
this time Judge Emmersou came in, and
witnessed the foregoing facts with e.
quail surprise. In this way has con-
tinued up to the present time. A most
inexplicable mystery is, that the quick
ness of vision, or in other words, the
powers of discernment cannot discover
the commencement of those emissions
OF bones and flesh. The first thing the
eye can discover, is the clot of blood
(Which emits first and but once day.
the lump of flesh, or bone, as the case
may be, Protruded on the outside Of the
skin, which being instantly removed, the
skin underneath is as smooth and free
from any hole, opening or aperture
which can be discovered by the strict
est scrutiny, as the most solid part of a
