works are completed, a million and a halfl
f yards of cloth will be made in a year, at New Market. The capital vested in manufactures in Massachusetts, including the new work-, may he estimated at between twenty five and thirty millions of dollars the factories, in 1824, were 161. At Lowell, one million seven hundred thousand dollars have been recently employed. At Wal tham, about the same sum; its stock has been sold at 40 per cent, above par. At Merrimack, 1.200,000, all paid in; the Hamilton company has 600,000. At Taunton, 250 pieces of calico are made daily employing one thousand persons! The furnaces at Wareham make 4,000 tons ol
j metal annually, and there are two rolling j and slitting mills and three forges at the j sume place, with lare cotton mills, fulling ' mills. &;c. S veial villages, with from one ; thousand to fifteen hundred inhabitants have been built within a few years, all ! whor-o inhabitants are employed or suhsis ; ted by t e factories. A busy, healthful j population teems on spots over which a i rabbit, a little while since, could hardly , have made his way. The annual produr? : of glass in the vicinity of Boston, is 450 thousand dollars, and there are large establishments in other parts of the state. The manufactories of Rhode Lland.

several great factories among them, one of glass, employs 100 persons, and a rapi tal of .200 000 one of beautifuloreeam about ttie same number; one of wool which has a capital of 400 000 dollars, and turns out 2 500 ards of carpeting weekly. At Patterson, N. .?. there are 15 cotton mills requiring L500 000 pounds of cotton annually to supply them, with 700 power and hand looms 53.331 yards ol cotton arc made weekly. Tne flax factories consume 460 000 lbs. of flax, annual ly, (chiefly imported!) and make 406,560 yards of duck. There are other great works of iron, &c. Patterson is a large and thrifty town, and wealthy, because of the products of the labor of the people, who are very industrious. A bleaching establishment was lately made at B Ibville. The house is of hewn stone, 2f3 feet long and 3 stories high. In the little county of Delaware, there are 157 mill and factories -live of the factories employ 1,038 persons one of them has 200 power lo ma. Four tiiu-and w. avers find employment in Philadelphia; and several new village of manufacturers have been built in the neighborhood. Among thony Mania i Jr. wi th 2000 inhabitants. The fur
naces of Huntingdon county, only, makt
6 000 tons of iron,' annually. Twere "arc 165 hatters in the small town of Reading. ' The city of Pittsburgh contains 1.873 buildings and 12,796 inhabitants. One paper mill employs 190 persons there, arcs seven other paper mills in the city or its immediate neighborhood seven rolling and slitting mills, 8 air foundries, 6 steam engine factories, one large wire factory, 7 ulass works, &c. &c. Some of these are mighty establishments one of them has two steam engines, of 100 and 120 horse power, to drive the machinery! Owof the factories at Pittsburgh makes glass to the value of 160,000 dollars a year and others do nearly as much business. The whole glass manufacture in the United States is not worth less than three millions annually. The breweries at Philadelphia do business to the amount of 300.000, and the umbrella makers to the value of 400.000 a year. The works to water the city have (in all) cost !,443.535. There were 30 cotton factories in the neighborhood of the city in 1824, and they have been considerably increased or extended since that time. Some of them are great establishments. Delaware has many valuable cotton mills several important woollen factories, and of paper, &x. The powder works of Mr. Dupont are said to be the largest in the world; and there are few more extensive establishments for making paper than one of those on the Brandy wine. In Maryland, there are various larije and respectable factories in Cecil Baltimore, Frederick and Washington counties. Many extensive iron works are going into operation in the northern part of Ohio in consequence of the market about to be opened by the canals. There are large establishments of various kinds at Steuben-
ville and Cincinnati, and respectable ones scattered through the country, and the Hocks of sheep of Mr. D'n kinson and others, arejustly famous. Mr. D"s. is, perhaps, the best and most valuable in the U. States. In JeflTerson county, in which Steubenville is located, there are 25,000 sheep. Mr Dickinson's (lock is 3000. The following articles in addition to those mentioned are made in quantiti.es equal to the consumption: leather and all its manufactures hats, lead, shot and other preparations of it cannon, muskets, rifles, swords and other militari accoutrements printing types and all that is needful for the business of printers almost all manufactures of wood, with many of iron, brass and other metals, useful or ornamental, ponderous or light, for steam enemes of 120 horse power down lo candb stii ks or spriL's an eighth of an inch long, including
most of the implements of agi icultuu , a great deal of cutlery, and some of the finest fabrics gun powder: a long lit might be added, but the articles do not oc ur to us just now Among them, however, are sundry small things which make up an aggregate of millions. Im 1315, ina congressional report, it was estimated that 200,000 persons were employed in the cotton and woollen manufact. ries of the United States! The present number engaged in nil sorts of manu factories cannot be less than two millions. What a market do they create! The hats, caps and bonnets, of straw or grass, manufaetuiod in the United States, employ about 25,000 persons, chiefly fcmales. and produce 325.000 in Massachusetts only. The whole value of this manufacture is, probably, about a million and a half, yearly. The quantity of flannel now made in the U'dted States is considerably greater than the whole importation ever amounted to ns reported at the custom houses. Silk begins to be extensively cultivated in several of the states. The silk raided and manufactured in the town of Mansfield, Conn, in 1825, was 3,000 lbs. waa th 15,000, and in Windham c uaty, in the same state, silk worth 54,000 dollars a year. Wre have seen fine specimens -from North Carolina and one from Missouri. -It is a very profitable cultivation, and nearly the whole business is done by women and children, who would otherwise be idle, and to it is pretty nearly a clear .gain. One acre of land planted with mulberry trees, will feed as man worms a will make silk worth 200, in a good toiison. The consumption of silks in the Unit, d Slates is valued at nearl) eight tiiilihe-s per annum. The chief part of this nm;'t he procured at home, and prepared h i ihe market, without am considerable dirr.iu-
