TAnoiher social and industrial revo
luton in cities is about to be made by the
agency OF Yankee ingenuity, to wit: q
sewing machine-The Ohio State Jour
nal says Of this innovation on old fash
ions:
..It is the most perfect and admirable
specimen Of Yankee ingenuity and skill
we have ever seen, not excepting mach
ines for making cards or pins. We have
not enough skill in mechanics to describe
this wonderful invention. We can only
say il is built Of iron and brass; all parts
Of il appear to be Of the most substantial
character, and very little liable to get out
Of repair. 1t is compact. not occupying
much. il any. more room than an ordinary
apple pairing machine. 1t is propelled by
a treadle, worked by the heel and toe Of
the foot.
The cloth TO be worked is laid on q
plain metallic surface. and the needle
ordinary rate OF motion. 10 the number Of
seven or eight hundred per minute II
can be driven to twice this speed. the
cloth is moved OH a cylinder just such dis
tance between each stitch. so that these
are perfectly uniform in distance from
e,ch other. and all on the same pre-
cisely alike. II can be graduated to make
the stitches close. so close as to touch
each other apparently. or TO make them
an inch apart. The thread can. by a
simple process. be drawn tight. or be left
more loose. The seams ar, sewed very
firmly. They do not rip so easily as
ordinary sewing. and can be made Just as
strong as the thread will allow
Any shaped seam may be sewed. either
straight ahead or crooking in every di
rection. The only thing it cannot do. is
to make button holes and sew on buttons
When once started. it can easily carry
thread enough to run it half day with,
out stopping. We have seen the bosom
Of fine shirt that was stitch d by it
No eye is 50 accurate as an accurate ma
chine. and. of course. in all that class of
sewing where the stitches appear. as on
satin vests. quilting. &c (. the work is GER
tain|y superior to that Of the most ex-
prrenced hand.
This new invention is undoubtedly one
Of the creates; labor saving machines OF
the day, and can hardly fail to work a
complete revolution in this branch of bus,

These machines are made in New

Mr.. WEBsrER.-Alludine to the rumor-
ed visi, contemplated by Mr.. Webster to
Europe the Phil ~ American SAYS:
The immediate reason. "a we are in
formed. for Mr.. Webster's proposed jaunf
to Europe is for the prospect Of the perio-
deal recurrence Of catarral affection
with which he has been visited for many
wears. and which. during its continuance
has always subjected his general health to
great prostration. At the period Of his
last visit abroad he was entirely relieved
from this complaint. and he now seeks
change Of climate. under the hope III at
the same effect may be produced. Mr.
Webster will sail on or about the 5th Of
August. still retaining his place in the Ad
for after the Presidents re-
fusal to accept the resignation in the first
instance, and his solicitude to retain the
dis,in euished Secretary in office. there is
no reasonable probability that he will
change his views during Mr.. Webster's
absence.
