Machinery. dc-The North Wing Of the main
Saloon 10 fitted up with Steam power, &C. Tor the
exhibition Of Machinery new Inventions, &c. We
shall speak hastily Of few articles which arrested
our steps during a hasiy visit yesterday
A Hemp and Flo1.dre,ser in working order,
which has arrived from Missouri since the Fair open

steam engine. and probably requiring ai"ohorse power
70 work them. The breaker Ia composed Of several
rollers and cylinder nicely adjusted and does lie work
rapidly and thoroughly The swinger consists mainly Of
large cylinder having four powerful knives or edges
between which and an upright mmovsbie edge or blade
a, one aide the broken fax 10 beaten clear Of Its woody
substance while strong currents Of air. generated BY the
rapid evouons Of the cylinder exPel every thing but the
sbre which Is held a., By one end in the operators hand
Attached 70 the machine two more long deep ya'
in which the unvst,ed bundles Of Hemp Flax sub
merged in water in which temperature Of 90 is main
tanned By the escape Of the engine which turns the
machines Al this temperature the ro,,ing process is
completed in Tire, day, while in cold water many weeks
are reoured-We have gwen mos, imperfect descrip.
ton Of this machine which hope will attract genera
attention Iupeec,ion Of rottns is the grea; obstacle

Hemp. the Dew Rot ba.fspoils the fibre while Water
Rotting in the old way tedious repusve, and prejud
c!a 10 health An extensive Farmer informs US that ne
raises Flax for the seed only leaving the stalk to rot on
the ground % account Of the tedious labor Of dressing
We hope this machine will work revolution In the cui'
ture Mr. Bllin9s Of Missouri Ia the patentee or ms
agent in charge.
A Tonning Apparatas--from Vermont we
bear-.eens 10 have some excellent points. The
skins are placed on large wheel which revoves in
va, Of tanning Hquor. that each skin Is submerged
and hed out agsh twice minute, undergoing constant
friction. In TIL. way. cafskns arc completely tanned
in sz and sole Leather in ,restOns days Leather 50
made is exhibited which would be hard 70 find fault
with. small stream Of water viii the wheel no
attendance il needed. hide DOSING nothing BY the
shrinkagc or waste Of winters immersion) produces
more leather than in the old way. while the fact that
Time is Money is also 70 be considered
A new Cotton Press is exhibited in mOdel-ihe
invention Of Mr. Slocum Of Syracuse, y. y It's
p,incioe Il combination Of the Lever with the Togge
Joint By which great power is obtained and the same
machine presses ten twenty bales at once-as many
as can be placed length wise on both sides OF H.
A new GATE, for yards, gardens, &c. pleased rs
II opens By being pressed backward by atouch and in
stany closes again by It's own intrinsic delernnsoB
We have long and often felt the need OF gate which
oopM not b. left open whether through malice or heed
lessness
A new Carnage Wheel placed in the yard Is
scruinized with much interest and satisfaction IL
ha, two ubs screwing together and the sPokes from
the rim enter these alternately Should the spokes ever
become loose through wear OF shrnksge all is MADE
right by a few of winch. serewing the hubs near
"a together and tightening every spoke to the Utmost
The hub is Of iron. The wheel can never become rim
bound and papaby much stronger and safer than that
in common use For stages omnibusss &c. we think
must come into general use.
India Ru6Jer GOods.-A director OF the institute
remarked In casual conversation that the progress in
manufactures from Csoutchouc or India Rubber had
been greater within the past year than In any thing else
We looked over Mr.. II. H. DAYS cases yesterday. and
were convinced Of the truth ofhe observation 1t 10 only
Of late that India Rubber thought Of a. staple oil
fabrics while the idea of It's contributing TO elegance is
but of Yesterday Yet the suspenders &c now exhibit
ed by Mr. d. surprisingly beautiful All similar art
Giles fabricated from other materials look shabby beside
them Ofihe India Rubber Hose or Waier-Pipe exhibit
ed by Mr. Day not prepared to give decided
opnion but il looks like an excellent article His la.
dies Shoes are moueis Oh hca'h'ss '"o workmanship
The OF the Bey Of Tunis IL ono OF the curoses o.
this collection-We must examine and speak of rival
fabrics especially those Of Goodyears Patent at another
time.
Yesterday was a lovely day, and fully improved
and enjoyed at the Fair. We noticed many visiters
from distance who had just arrived in town. Hon.
john p. KENNEDY Of Baltimore. a veteran and most
effective champion of American Industry was
among them.
