Manufacturing.

Among the gratifying features ofthe manufacturing
business is the determination of Eastern manufac-
turers 10 go into the production of finer goods and
small articles. During the week, we have visited
the city OF Holyoke, situated about six miles
from Springfield. We found there building erected
and ready to receive machinery for making Lawns.
1t is 26S feet in length by SO feet in BREADTH and
late IMPROVEMENTS, Ru, II is 1i1uugur, win prdduce
Lawns at a price that will give the home market
permanently to the home producer. That our trans
Atlantic friends may believe this is no fiction, we
would say that this mill will run 80 900 spindes
producing l IL, 900 yards per diem; and when it
Is remembered that this production is to be ad-
ded to that of the Portsmouth Company, which
has already affected the market to degree that has
rendered 1t impossible to realize profit on imported
Lawns, we Think they will conclude with us, that it
is useless to think of shipping the article to this mar
ket with the expectation of profit.
TN the Connecticut River, opposite to Hoyoke
the Glasgow Bingham Mill is situated The pro-
ductlon Of this mill is well known to most of our
readers, but short detail Gifts capacity, and notice
of the fabric made, may not be undressing
The building is 200 SO feet, FIVE stories high
besides an attic; it contains 10000 spindles, PIT
looms, and gives employment to 400 operatives, $50
OF which are females; the rates of wages paid are
higher than at any other mill making similar goods
some of the smartest female weavers being able to
clear over Sc per week. The machinery is driven
by Turbine wheel, recently put in by the Ames
Company of Chicopee, and though small, it has the
capacity to drive mill double the size of the Glas
gov.
This mill was started upon Ginghams in ls47, the
Company believing that there was skill and talent
enough in the States TO manufacture this article for
home consumption; the experiment had been tried
by the Lancaster Company in the lower grades and
found to be practicable; the Glasgow Company,
however, determined to produce better article, and
had the bodness to set their mill upon the class of
goods which had always been one of the largest of
Engand's production. The first two years it was
hard struggle. the foreign shipper persisted in bring
ing forward his goods, and they were slaughtered in
our markets at IS cents on the dollar The Yankees
suffered some, but not to the same extent They
have fought, however, till they have failed nearly
one-hali the bingham makers of Great Britain, and
have now the prospect OF clear field. If dealers
are not acquainted with the merits Of those Cling
hams, they should be, for no goods have ever APP
peared on the market that better entitled TO at
tentIon; they equal the British in brilIIancy and
flrmness OF color, and surpass them in weight-Dry

Putable evidence of the progress and prosperity OF
the manufacturing districts.
| Having thanked both Houses, in the usual terms,
for their attention TO the business of the session, the
Queen continued:

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE STEAMSHIP Hum
BoLDT.-The steamer Humboldt, on her last pas
sage fiom Havre to New York, made narrow
escape from total destruction on Cape Race, about
20 miles southeast of the light. On Saturday morn
ing last, at half past o'clock, her passengers
were all aroused by shock precisely like striking
some rock, and rushing on deck they found the
steamer broadside to bold rock, apparently within
half ships length. The terrible conformation
caused by the position of the shp-the bold rock
the dense fog and the alarm of the passengers both
male and female, presented scene which no wit
ness to it would desire to experience again.
The worthy commander and first officer of the
steamer were both ON deck and saw the rock some
time before they realized what it was supposing it
to be a fog bank-and when the the thrilling com
mand to starboard helm was heard below and the
engine suddenly stopped, feeling of impending
destruction to all on board was felt by many bold
heart. The very strong force Of the Arctic current

ANOTHER SEVERE SToRM.--Several towns in
Connecticut visited by a severe hai-storm on
Wednesday evening. AT Meriden, hail fell in such
quantities, that it might be shoveled up, and large
Iy damaged the crops. At Somers, the hail was Of
unusual size-as large as a hens egg, prostrating
fruit and shade trees, and doing damage TO corn, TO-
bacco, and other field crops. Some of the stones
gathered, weighed more than two ounces, and meas
ured six inches and more in circumference. The
rough, irregular shape of the hail was unlike any
ever seen hereabouts before. In West Sutleld, the
storm was equally severe The hail-stones were
many Of them large, or larger, than hens eggs

What are wanted in that section Of the city is

towards supplying the demand. Land in that vicinity
