There are about sixty persons employed at present IN

insure the physical comfort and elevate the moral con-

The rich brocades that formerly constituted the
pride and ornament of the stately danes who loved TO
dsfpure their persons with the ruiz and farthlngale
have now almost entirely disappeared from use as
wearing apparel and 1t is only IN the gorgeous
yestments Of the Jewish and Roman Catholic rltesthat
their ancient gories are perpetuated. Limited as Is
This anplcaon of these once popular fabrics, IL sp-
pears that it is still deemed of sufficient Importance TO
induce attempts to introduce the manufacture OF tnem
into this country and TO expend upon them an amount
of CAPITAL and energy that one would nave supposed
might have been more prohtaoly bestowed Oh so'nc
other branch of industry.
Most of the heavy damask, and gold and silver bro
cades used in this country for ecclesiastical purposes
have been hitherto imported from Lyons, where the
manufacture of these stuis has been carried 10 the
highest state of perfection and where the ueians
the different Catholic countries OF Europe is Oh SUM-

Sneculatnp ON securing portion of the orders for
warded from this country and South America an en-
terprisinp German named Neustaedter commenced the
Manufacture of these fabrics IN WORK ABOUT
eiohteen months since, and, notwithstanding the di-
culties attending the enterprise, he has succeeued III
turning out from his looms sus which, Tor richness
ard beauty of design, will stand comparison win
some of The best production of the Lyons looms. In
addition 10 the fabrics used for church purposes ne
manufactures furniture brocades OF the most oeautui
and costly patterns, the figures on whch are
woven in gold and silver thread, or the grounds
composed entirely Of these materials IL should nc
stated that in ancient times those stuila only were
called brocades which were woven bOtn on the warp
and shoot with gold and silver threads or WIN d
mixture or combination OF b0tn these ihaler,as'
In
na,tened silver gilt wire ribbon was spun on silk
that had been dyed TO resemble as closely as possible
the color of the metal and the principal excellence IN
tbe ART of preparing gold threads consisted IN so reg-
latur the conyolutions Of the metallic covering Oh the
silk as that its edges should exactly touch ana form as
II we're one continued covering without either interval
ar overlapping Subsequent improvements were ei-
fected on ills process by the Venans, by which al
bouob they used only half the quantity OF gold ana
silver empioved in making br0cade according 10 the
usual method they impaired to thema lar more oeau
tful appearance The hattened wires were not WOUND
so close together on the silk threads, nor were lnere
so many of these threads used in the weaving but by
nsssinc the stu6s when manufactured between rollers,
10 which great amount OF pressure was
oiven the wire threads were partially crushed so as 10

the Venetian manufacturers the jealousy OF the French
Government was excited by it, and about the middle oil
the last century they employed the celebrated Faqcan-
son 70 contriye machinery by which the same ooJect

since that period the Lyons weayers have enjoyed al
most a monopoly Of this branch OF the SIN niahuiac-
