important iaUention. We this morning examined
and saw in operation most ingenious and valuable
machine for spinning fax and hemp, invented by
Dr. Bell and Mr.. Dyer, two intelligent and highly
respectable gentlemen from New England. They
entered upon the prosecution of their pars last win
ter, and have now brought them to a successful ter
nnation, As the patent has not been secured, we
not permitted to give full description of the in
vention but the following particulars will be In
teresting to our readers especially to those who
wish well to the cause of American Manuiac-
lures.


This machine is constructed on an entirely new
principle. having no analogy to the process for the
cotton, woollen. wor,ted, other manufacture.
The quality Of the warns produced is pronounced,
by competent Judges, to surpass other linen yarns
in as great a piopurton cotton or woollen yarnss
spun BY the present improved machinery. are super
ior to those wrought by hand The size of the
thread can be varied to any extent, from that OF
canbric to that nf the lepevarns used in the manu-
facture of corlage. In the degree OF velocity, its
operation is limited only by the quickness which the
spndIes and ffiers capable of supporting. The
instrument now in operation produces about the
same quantity of thread per spindle fnenes being
equal. as the hrosHe spiniles 10 the cotton manu


acture. The whole formation Of the thread from
dressed FAX is completed at one operation. The
material laid on the machine is wound upon the
spools ready for the loom, without the intervention
Of any assistance the whole being effected by the
rotary motion communicated from drums. Indeed
all the motions OF the instrument are of circular
kind.


So far as our obser ervation, or knowledge extends.
this invention is entirely original, and nothing of
the kind exists in the workshops of the United
States or Europe, where fabrics from flax are entirely
wrought by hand. The manufactures of linens will
now be placed upon the same ground and employ the
same faculties as cnrtons It has been estimated.
that up,n moderate calculations faOo million of dol
lars may be saved annually to this country by the
reduced expenses of linen fabrics, effected by this
invention. If it be not introduced abroad, and
foreign prices thus diminished. the products Of our
own looms will supply our markets and prevent inn
portations from maintaining competition Such IS
our impression Of the Importance Of this machine.


Those who are increduIous on the subject. may
have their doubts removed by examination of spe-
cimens of the thread at this office or by inspecting


the machine at the corner of Pine and Water
