superiority OF American Machinery
England indebted to the on!sed states
for Inventions.

M III LONDON, Aug. 9. 1872
In machinery they are very dependent on US
as inventors and | will name all the nall ma
chimes in use, the most approved screw machines,
pin machines, and much Of the machinery used
in cotton mills, are exclusively American lnven-
tons. Besides, will name weaving machines
for carpets and quilts, particularly saw and pla-
ming machines from the same source; and
might enuncrate many others had l time to
think of them. In paper making they have de-
rived great advantage from US, and now a new
type machine (Stcwart's) is in the market that
will drive every thing in that line out of use
then the machinery of older date but still inds-
pensable, is not to be surpassed by their use of
them for years and what is better they never
or very rarely make any improvement on Amcrl
can machinery. There is gaining ground every
day among the educated a great disposition to
inquire into American affairs, and among ma
chinists in particular. 1t is strange and often
times vexing to sec how differently their mcchan-
les pursue their works than with US. They are
slow and labor to every disadvantage you could
conceive with their convcnienccs. The work
when done may be well done, but it has taken
twice the time to finish it, and not a whit better
than our workmcn could do it and in any
thing that req ures taste or judgement as to
style, give up before you begin. l will wager
good Spanish cigar (by the way larlty here,
even at Is Sterling each,) that tasteful Eng
lishman cannot be found / mean not a copyst,
and by the way they can rarely do that if the
Job or article is very simple. They have no taste
Of themselves in any class or society, either IN
goods, wares, dresses or wearing dresses they
carry about t!,em-I mean both sexes. But to
the workmen they have them ten hours day and
never less than one day week to pass In the beer
shop; besides every kind Of work has It's particu-
lar time, and they will not exceed it, if they do
and are through at noon they quit if they please
or get pay for over time. They never think of
among thousands, believe, and never found
who did. Many, particularly in the metropolis,
could and live as well as ever, butt on Satur.
day night they have enough to buy the Sundays
dinner all the remainder goes into the till Of the
gin.shoP, and he keeps up the spell until not an
other penny rema ins IN his pocket, and then off
to work, and this too among their best and most
intelligent workinen. There will therefore never
be comparison between the mechanics of the two
countries for need not ask under such q state of
things where will be the talent, skill and mind 10
invent and improve. Father Mathew made no
converts among this class nor vii! he ever do so.

with the undcniable truths it contains. Yours.
