NEWLY MANUFACTURED CLuTH.-The
london correspondent of the Boston Post
t|ins notices The manufacture of d spe-
Hcies of cloth that is calculated to
make new era in articles of wearing
apparel:
~ "A valudble PATENT six months
ago, ] was introduced to an American,
who visited this country for the purpose OF
securing valuable patent for new meth
cd Of manufacturing woolen cloth. ex-
amined numerous specimens of the cloth,
all of which appeared very well, and pos
sessed important improvem ents over the
English brOadcIoth and cashmere; but as
knew little about the article, did not
make any mention of it al the time; for
however sangune an inventor of any new
instrument may be, that it is superior to
all others, the public do not always find
tito prove such. As this wooden cloth is
now offered for sale, and us several Of the
large London houses have purchased hun.
dreds of pieces fo: The purpose Of intro
ducing il, am justified in calling atten-
tion toit. The Colonial Gazette thus no.
tced the patent several months since
EMr. Wells has invented machine, and
has discovered process by which woolen
clOthof every sort is produced atless than
a fourth part Of the cost hilLerlO usual
The material is moi woven, but compress
, ed, two urchins with The machine can turn
out one hundred yards Of the broadcIotll
in twelve hours; and where twenty ,fonr
shilIngs were del4anded per yard, six
shillngs afford the new manufactures
abundant remuneration. We have inspec'
ted and haudIed, as roughly as we liked
specimens of every variety, from the f.
nest scarlet cloth for officers uniforms
down to blankets and carpets, and We
certainly could not, either by sight o
touch, distinguish them Eom correspon
ding pieces made in the old fashion,
'''This new cloth is likely to create a
great revolution among the manufacture
ers, for already they discover that it il
something more than the mere bubble
Of an hour. The American Government
has purchased the ight TO manufacture
in Austria, and several other rights Il
manufacture it in England and Fanc'
have also been purchased. There arr
four or FIVE large mills now in constant op
GRAFTON in this country which turn ou
daily several hundred pieces Of The cIoti
of various qualities. Soon The markets
here will be filed with it, and no doub
a large qusntily will be sold in the Uni
ted States, aud MIR. Wells, who is a New
Yorker, informed me that as soon as h,
had completed all his arrangements tOI
supplying the European markets, HI
should establish several large factorie
in America. Mr.. Wells has worn
frock coat made CT his new cloth almos
every day since the last six months AM
it is an elegant garment even now, tn
material being compressed, there is n
thread in it, and the nap has the sam
smooth, glossy appearance as when
first looked at it. The cheapuess, dara
bility, and beautiful appearance Of thl
new cloth, must give il decided advan
tage over all other kinds. So far it ha
met with great favor from the mo'
extensive dealers in cloths in London"
We have seen, some time ago, spec
men of this manufacture, and anyOf oil
readers who may have the curiosity
inspect'it, may have that gratified by
call al this office, where piece of Il
cloth has been deposited. d S
Sucha manufacture, ifonce fully ado
ted will certainly effect great revolutit
lin the wooden trade; but we are appr
hensiVe thatit will operate greatly to Il
injury OF the wooden weavers and spinne
in the outset; but while there are so m
ny millions Of acres of uncuItivated Ian
there will be still some relief for them.
