AN IMPORTANT IMPRo,EMENr-A native OF Pat
terson, N. j., named Francis McCully, has recently
made an important smpllhcation in the process Of
spinning cotton He has invented an Improvement Of
the machine called the Throstle, which competent
judges say likely to work great revolution in the
cotton manufacturing business The process
requires less than half the power required by the
binary machine, takes less oil, dispenses with the
of bands, makes smaller amount Of waste, enables
one person to attend larger number of spndles yet
with all its economy in these several respects,
produces more yarn and OF better quality. The
inventor has already secured patents for his machine
in England, France, Belgium, Mexico, and this
country.

evidently ignorant ofall conscious wrong himself was
discharged All the available force at "his Honor's"

zette of Thursday contains as far as have been re-
ceved the returns Of the election held in that State
On Wednesday, for Governor and members of The
Legislature Three towns remain to be heard from
viz: Little Compton, New Shoreham, and Exeter ;
the aggregate majority in which, in ls43, for Fenner,
was 100. II is supposed that these towns cannot es-
senally vary the result, way the other at the
present time. Therefore, the Gazette arrives at the
conclusion that Jackson is undoubtedly elected from
tuo hundred TO four hundred mcjorityr' And this
pronounces "gory enough for day !'' and says
the people, in olecting this gentleman, shave empha-
icaly declared for LIBERATION as that was the single
issue upon phieh he ~en into the Ggh; and though
majority of the Legislature may be against u.s. we do
not believe so signal an expression of popular will

mtted to return to the peace and tranquility which
