The ATLANTIC MnL.-The production Of
mousseline de LANES is now OF the most profit
able branches of manufacture pursued in this
country. Not only have the American printers
now the palm for excellence of design and ex-
ecution, but the American fabric is everywhere
preferred to the foreign at the same price. The
consumption of de LANES in this country is
yearly Increasing, and several new mills have
recently been erected, 10 add to the supply
The Manchester Co., pioneers in this work,
have built new mill to run upon liner goods;
the Hamilton Co., have rebuilt their mill, which
was last year destroyed by fire the Oakland Co,
at Burrelvile, are Just completing new mill
whose goods will be printed by Dir. Dunnel
and the Atlantic mill ut Providence has just
been finished under the direction OF Gen. Chas.
r. James, the we'll known manufacturer, no a
u. 8. Senator from r.. Island. A drawing OF
the last named mill was exhibited at the recent
Fair at Castle Garden, and in compliance with
the request Of some Of our readers, We have
obtained description Of its size and capacity
The main building is 300 feet long, by 10 wide,
In the clear, and three stories high. On each
end Is a tower 100 feet in height, one Of which
contains the chimney, and the other the entries,
stairway, wash rooms, &c. From one end Of
the main building, projecting toward the rear, is
n wing Of the same height, lao feet by so feet
which Is appropriated to wool sorting and
washing, and the manufacture of fancy eassi
meres, The latter business being profitable in this
connection, rs the de lanes only consume comb
ING wool, and will not work up any waste. A
dye-house Is also attached to this wing. Or
the other end Of the main building, there 10 :
wing, 80 feet by 30 feet, and two stories high
which is used for picking the wool before card
inc. The other buildings are-an Office, 80 fee
bv 40 feet, two stories with a basement, il
which are also a machine shop and room fol
packing and baling; large fire-proof stone
house Of the same height, lao feet by go feet
a blacksmith's shop, and a coal shed. Thu
floors which are covered with machinery, alone
measure over three acres! The buildings are
substantially const ucted Of brick. Some o
the machinery has been obtained 10 Manchester
England, but most Of Il was made at the bes
shops in this country. The whole Is driven b,
two low pressure engines, each OF 600 hors'
power. !,
The design Is 10 produce 10000 yards Of d.
lanes per day, or 100000 yards per year
The production Of cassirneres will be limited D.
