3, PAPER MANUFACTURES.
Capt. w. C. BoLToN,
U. S, Navy, Philadelphia

The London Mercantile Journal gives a description
Of new machine invented by Mr. Rawson de,
tined to produce mighty and complete revolution in
the paper trade From this statement, il appears that
the paper after being made and dried the steam
cylinder in use, and wound on the reel, then
taken to the sizing machine, and passed under the o
Ter which works in the size trough; 1t then passes
through metal rollers which takes of the supeiuous
quantity, and is wound reel at the end The opera
ton of size parting is simply performed by windn K
operation is extremely beneficial to the paper and
conducted with great rapidity ten reams being re
parted in as many minutes.
The paper is then passed on TO the drying machine
which consists of series of open drums with fans
SIDE meyng at various speed and fam ng upon every
part of the paper as passes warm air. which absorbs
the moisture in the size and leaves the gelane finn
ly attached to the paper. A twevemnnths continual
working has demonstrated beyond all question the IN
trinsc worth of this invention founded as it is upon
the soundest principles and carried out by the most
beautiful and accurate machinery Manufacturers
the most intelligent and influential in Great Britain
have thoroughly tested il, and have not scruped u
admit that the principle shortly be universally
adopted by those manufacturers of machine made pa
pers who are DESTROYS TO maintain their position in The
market.
The introduction Of the paper machine hy Four
driner produced changes of the most important cha
racer in the manufacture of paper and had such
chine been accompanied by the principle now carried
forward Ivy this invention, scarcely any thing would
have remained to be desired IN the manufacturing on
eatons; but has always been felt hat that machine
was nperftct and incomplete, nasmuch manufac
turers were unable TO carry forward the sizing and ry
ing operations otherwise than by the destructive
and barbarous modes There have been repeated at
tempts made to size by machines, but hitherto with
little success where il is continued its advantage is
rendered more than equivoca by the mode adopted III
drying by heated cylinders. Engine sizing, although
more general Is scarcely more satisfactory.

TREASURY NOTES.

But little diversity OF opinion appears to ex-
list in the House on the measures to be adopted
for the immediate relief Of the Treasury. With
very few exceptions, the most earnest advocates
OF ii loan seem To be satisfied that to obtain one
in time to meet the emergency is utterly i'm
praclicable and even if a longer time were al
lowed, the terms on which it can be obtained
are such as to deter many Of the friends of that
measure from persisting in battling for its adop
ton. With this general unanimily ofsentmenl
on The subject, we cannot perceive the utility of
protracting the debate at present going on in
the House. Near million of dollars are want
ed now to enable the Treasury TO meet its en-
gagements. Concerning the mode of raising
the supply, but little difference of opinion pre-
walls. Tie constituionaity and expediency of
issuing Treasury notes have been so frequently
discussed by the ab.est men of The country, that
scarcely possibility exists Of presenting a new
idea on the subject or of clothing an old one in
a new dress Immediate and decisive action
on this question is not therefore obnoxious TO
the charge Of hasty and inconslderatc legisla
ton. Considering the present wants OF the
Treasury and the utter inutty of the debate,
we trust that the bill will be disposed of at
once.

contributors, in addition 10 a previous list embra-
cling manygof the first names in the nation, is
sufficient guarantee that the work will continue
