The increase Of cotton looms resulted from the
extension Of trade, not from the appliance Of power
to articles formerly woven by hand solely; but in
the ether fabrics power is now applied to the car
pet loom, the ribbon loom, and the linen loom,
where il had hitherto been little used. The appli-
cation Of power to wool combing, which has come
extensively into operation since the introduction of
the combing machine, especially of Listers, has
also had the effect to throw large number of men
out Of work.
The extent of the increased power of produc-
tion is clearly shown by comparing the export re-
turns. In 1850, there being in activity ,92 cot
ton factories the average value of cotton goods
and yarn exported in the three years eSding Janu-
ary 5, 1850 was, in round numbers, f24 600, 600.
If the 22l0 cotton factories in activity in 1856 had
produced goods or yarn in the same proportion
only as the factories of 1850 the value of the eX-
ports would be E2S, 100000. Yet the average
value of these exports in the three years ending
December 81 1855, amounted to about. E3l ,OOO,-
600. The case with the woolen and worsted fac
tories is similar. We zee, then, that while the
quantity of machinery kept in motion by each
horse power has considerably increased, the num-
Der of persons employed for each horsepower has
remnined stationary, viz: persons, on an aver

A. the paragraph exeites almost universal cosdeii-
nation here, and may possibly mislead, Will give II
and the facts in connection. 1t runs thus:
I'VE observe by the proceeding Of the Topeka
Convention of the 10th of March, that DIR. Robinson,
who had resigned the Office Of Governor under the
Topeka Constitution, withdrew his resignation, and
assumed again the Executive Office. It seems 70 US
hardly possible that officer take of His ofiolai
robes and put them again IN such loose manner
They certainly cannot mt very gracefully, 10 o. 80

The subject Of the reacceptance OF the Guberna'
tOra Cfiice in the State organization BY Robinson,
was carefully discussed. That resignation bad never
taken effect Yhe letter 10 Roberts, containing the
request TO Roberts TO tender his resignation 70 the
Legislature was never submitted to that body, ana
never had official existence. The resolution re-
questing Robinson stil to hold that position was
merely designed to prevent Gov. Robinson from TAX
ing steps toward carving out his resignation. A
feeling Of delicacy might have caused him TO do this
The letter of Gov Robinson to Lieut. Gov. Rob
erts ran thus: I quote the first paragraph, as the
Others contained merely the reasons already gwen:
"LAwREscE Kansas, Dec. ., 1856

please submit 10 the Legislature at its next annual

"DyAR SIR: On the 25th Of Decembera mailed
10 YOU letter rendering my resignation Governor
vi the State Organization Of Kansas with request
that il be submitted to the Legislature at its next an
nual meeting
Learning that it was not then submitted, and many
of the motives then existing for my resignation having
been removed a. well as in compliance with resou-
on Of the Delegate Convention of the 10Th inst, at
Topeka, hereby withdraw said letter.

OF these facts the editor of the Lawrence paper
need not have been Ignorant and it is pity that he
allowed a personal matter to give thoughtess and

THE ENGLISH FACTORY SYSTEM.
sf IAe ~ Y. frzbsne.

LONDON, April 10, 1861.
Tie Reports Of the Inspectors Of Factories "a
~ United Kingdom for 1856, contain detailed re-
tsras relating to factory statistics, such ss the
ssnber. Of factories, the amount Of horsepower
employed, the quantity Of machinery, and the
ssmber Of persons set to work. Similar returns
we're ordered by the House Of Commons IN iooo,
BE3o and 1850, the information being compiled
rem schedules filed up by the mill-owners. Ample
materials are thus afforded for comparing different
periods Of the factory system, which, in its legal
ssnse, comprises the manufactures only where
steam or water-power is employed for the produc-
ton Of textile fabrics
The most characteristic feature of the social his
tsry Of the United Kingdom during the hast nix
years s, undoubtedly, to be found in the rapid ex-
tension of that system.
The following are the numbers Of factories at

rent classes of hands Employed

employed has increased, but not in proportion to
the general increase. The increase in the number
of children between 1850 and 1856 is very consd-
cradle amounting as it does, to 10, 161, of which
9,655 have been absorbed BY the cotton trade. 1t
may still be mentioned that the philanthropc law
of ls44 permitted children to be employed in fac
tories at years of age while prior to that it was
illegal TO employ them under years of age.

~ civil e,rseer, afer an explanation II the nature
.f recent improvements in the steam-engine, by
vAeh the same engine can be made TO perform
mere work with diminished consumption Of fuel,
sums up results AS follows:
Prom the sam. peight Of steem-engine machinery,
we are now obtaining at least 30 per cent. more
work performed, the average, and IN many cases,
the identical steam-engnes which, in the days oi the
restricted speed Of 90 feet per minute YIELDED "
horsepower, are now yielding upward OF lOo.'
BY comparing the increase OF horsepower win
that of factories. the concentration Of the wooen
industry in some few hands becomes evident.
Though in 1856 there were but eight more WOODEN
factories than in 1850 yet the power employed IN
them bad increased 1851 horses during the same
period. The same tendency TO concentration IL
evidently working in the cotton, worsted and fax
,pipning factories. The number of sPindles in the
United Kingdom amounting respectively IN 1850
and 1856 10 % 63s 7l6 and TO 8 5o3 $50, the aver
age number Of spindles in each factory was as fol-
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-28

In the weaving factories, it is true, the tenden-
cy seems to be to an extension Of the trade among
many occupiers rather than to its concentration
among a few, the total number Of looms being
I39 2O5 in 1856 against 30l 4i5 in 1850, while the
average number employed by each manufacturer is
less in 1856 than in 1850. However, this apparent
deviation from the general tendency of the British
factory system is easily accounted for by the fact
that in the weaving department the introduction of
the factory system is of comparatively recent date,
and has not yet quite superseded the hand-loom
system. In 1886, steam power was employed al-
most exclusively for cotton looms, or for fabrics
mixed 18th cotton; bat some years later there was
rapid increase in the number Of power-looms for
all fabrics for fabrics of woolen, worsted fax and
silk, and this increase continues to the present
time. The following statement shows the increase
