ton SOcirty.-It will be absolutely impossible
Cor the Board Of Managers TO affect the i'm
pOFtant purpose Of dispatching vessel with
emigrants to the colony this autumn, unless
they shall soon be- favored with more liberal
contributions. Applications for passage are
almost daily received from respectable color
ed persons, which cannot, without increased
means. be satisfactorily answered. Every
Auxiliary Society. and all our friends are then
at this time, earnestly appealed to for that
aid, without which, many now waiting to en-
bark, our hopes, and publick expectation,
must be greatly disappointed.
Statesmen should be good nsen.-''The epoch
Ofthe revolution" says Napoleon, "was an
epoch Of crime and genius. Both found the
! means of distinction. Amongst those who
started the revolution, there were men of
genius, who were also good men. Had it con-
tinued under their direction, the Revolution
would have been henefcient from the begin
ming to the end. Unhappily circumstances
united with them men who had genius like
them but less probity.. Then every man was
| forced to become what he has BEEN"
Important Invention.-We this m Drning ex-
amined and saw 10 operation most ingenious
! and valuable machine for spinning fax and
hemp, invented by DR.. Bell and Mr.. Dyer,
two intelligent and highly respectable gentle
men freln New England. They entered upon
\ the prosecution of their plans last winter, g.
have now brought them to a successful ter
mination. AS the patent has not been secur-
ed We are not permitted to give full des-
cription of the invention; hut the following
particulars will be Interesting to our readers.
especially to those who wish well to the
cause of American Manufactures.
| This machine is constructed on an entirely
new principle. having no analogy to the pro-
( cess for the cotton, wOOllen, wOrsted and 9th
er manufacture. The quality of the yarns
produced is pronounced by competent judges
to surpass other linen yarns in as great pro-
portion as cotton or wOOen yarns spun by
the present improved machinery are superior
to those wrought by hand. The size of the
thread can be varied to any extent from that
of cambria to that of the rope cordage used
in the manufacture of cordage. In the de-
gree of velocity. its operation is limited only
by the quickness which the spindles and fliers
are capable of supporting. The instrument
now in operation produces about the same
quantity Of thread per spindle, ineness being
equal, as the throstle spindles 10 the cotton
manufacture. The whole formation of the
thread from dressed fax is completed at one
operation. The material laid on the machine
is wound upon the spOols ready for the loom,
without the Intervention of any assistance
the whole being effected by the rotatOry mo-
tons communicated from drains. Indeed all
the motions of the instrument are of a circu-
! lar kind.
! So far as our observation or knowledge ex-
tends, this invention is entirely original, and
nothing of the kind exists in the workshops OF
the United States or Europe, where fabricks
from fax are entirely wrought by hand. The
manufactures Of linens will now be placed on
the same ground, and enjoy the privilege
Of the same facilities as cOttons. 1t has
been estimated that upon moderation. 81. OOO,.
900 may be saved annually to this coun-
! try by the reduced expenses of linen fabrics,
effected by this invention. If it b. not in
troduced abroad. and foreign prices thus di-
minished. the products of our own looms will
supply our own markets, and prevent impor-
tatiOns from maintaining competition. Such
is our impressions Of the importance Of this
machine. Those who are incredulOus on the
subject may have their doubts removed by an
examination of specimens OF the thread at
this Office, or by inspecting the machine at
the corner of Pine and Water streets.
