O-Ihs following curious statistics of the progress
and value of manufacturing machinery is from late
number of the London League.
RESULTS or MACHINERY IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
CoTTON.-The following extract from The Working
Mans Companion" will show the results of mechsn-
zeal continuance in the cotton manufacture promising
that nearly 400 900 0O0 Yards of English cotton cloth
are annually exported, and Goo 900 used for home
consumption: NEARLY twenty years after Arkwright
had begun to spin by machinery, the price of paricu
lar sort Of cotton yarn much used in the manufacture of
calico SIS pound. That same yarn is now sold
for between IS and As, I-l2th of its price forty
years ago. If cotton goods were worn only by the few
rich they in ancient tines and even in
the latter half of the last century, that difference of
price would not be great object but the price is
very important object when every man, woman, and
child in the United Kingdom has to pay it. The
4OOCO0,OOO yards of cloth which annually retain
ed for home consumption, distributed amongst % 000
OOO of population allow 10 yards every year for each
individual. Wewil suppose that no individual would
buy these 10 yards of cloth unless he or she wanted
them that this plenty of cloth is desirable thing
that 1t is conducive to warmth and cleanliness and
therefore to health; that it would be great privaton
10 20 without the cloth. At Cd yard the 400 OOO-
0O0 yards of cloth amount to fl0,000000 sterling
At Is Cd yard, (Which we will take as an average
price about five and twenty ago. they would amount
to f50OO0,0OO sterling amount equal to all the
taxes annually paid in Great Britain and Ireland At
twelve times the present price, 6s a yard, which
proportion we get by knowing the price of yarn 40
years ago, and the present day. the cost of OOO
600 sterling 1t is perfectly clear that such sum of
money could be paid for cotton goods, and that,
fact instead of fl0OO00O0 being spent in this arti-
Gle Of clothing by persons of all classes consequence
of the cheapness of the commodity we should 90 back
to very nearly the consumption that existed before
Arkwrights nvention-hat is, of the year 1853 when
the amount of the cotton manufacture of the kingdom
did not exceed the annual value of GOO. At that
rate of value the quantity Of cloth manufactured could
not have been equal to l5C0h part of that which is
now manufactured for home consumption. So that 81
people each now consume l6 yards of cotton cloth,
where one person eight years ago consumed one yard
We ask you therefore, if this last difference in the
comforts of every family by the ability which they
now possess of easily acquiring warm and healthfnl
clothing is not clear gain to all society," and to every

WING HARMoNY.-Col. Webb, of the N. Y. Cour-

editor of the N. Y Tribune for having accused him
of having been bribed by the U. s. Bank. Webb
calls Greedy ga rascal from principle and dlsor-
ganizer from instinct Then there is pretty gen.
eral quadrangular warfare between the N. Y Ex-
press, Courier and Enquirer, Tribune. and Albany
Evening Journal As above stated, the Tribune char
ges the Courier with corruption the Courier the
Tribune the Express charges the Tribune with be-
ginning his article with lie in his mouth and end
ing it with hypocritical and sanctimonious appeal"
&c. The Tribune mounts the Express rough shod.
The Evening Journal is down upon the Courier and
Enquirer, Nativism, Bank and all; and the Courier
has become perfectly savage in consequence. If we
had room, we would give few extracts from these
harmonious papers. We believe shall soon have
some expositions which will throw McKcnzie's book
entirely in the shade. What pity these Wings
will not fight for their country instead of against it.
