At large meeting of cotton Manufacturers-held
IN Manchester, England, January 22d, Mr.. ]. PLATT
(of Oldham) stated that the present annual rate Of
the production of cotton-spinning machinery was
equal three million spindles for Great Britain,
one million for the remainder of Europe, and two
millions for America, being a total of Elk million
spindles. To furnish this large increase of manu-
featuring power with the requisite supply of raw
material would require an annual increase of up
wards of 100000 bales of cotton. Hear, hear.
THE MANUFACTURE OF CANNON IN MEMPHls.-It is
stated that Messrs. QUHBY & ROBINSON, the prop-ie-
tors of the extensive Western Foundry at Memphis,
making the necessary preparations for the cast
ing of cannon in their establishment, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether or not cannon can be
manufactured cheap in that city in Pittsburg
and other Northern cities. They were to cast the
first, thirty-two FOUNDER, which to be tested
on the bluff in the vicinity of Fort Pickering. The
length of this gun will be ten feet, being twenty
five inches in diameter at the breach, and fifteen
inches at the muzzle. The iron to be used is from
the iron mountain in Missouri, the Tennessee iron
being rather too high mettled and not sufficiently
tough. We shall look with considerable interest to
the result of this experiment.
