Utter ed and Crow'.y sterl is m?de at Bedford in this state ; the extension of this ma nufacturr, and a spade and shovel ma nufactory is iVuch wanted in this coun try. We have seen r.ent pen kmves made here, and wc believe as good and as cheip as those imported cf the same patterns. Neils. Wc have several manufacto ries of these in town, which make about 300 tons of cut and wrought nails of all s zes annually. The manufacture of nails is considerable throughout this country, Ohio and Kentucky. Bridle bits and stirrups. A manu factory of these has been recently esta blished in town, and bids fair to do w.-ll. Tin, copper at japatci wes We have six manufactories briskly carried on, which are supposed i manufacture value of alut S 30,000 j warrs to the va worth annually. Copper Mills, a v;ry heavy article in this line, are made in number. Copper and tin wares are nunufactured considerably in TiTowns. ville, Charleston, Cc. and more cr less in Ooi and Kentucky. Wire weaving. This business is car ried on to a very considerable amount. Sieves, ridd'es, screens, &c. could be madt we should suppose, in sufixient quantities to supply the whole westtrn country. Was wire drawn here, it nrould be attended with considerable advanta ges. There is also a wire weaver at Brownsville. Glass cutting This business hars been recently estah.ihrd by an ingeni ous Germin.(E'chhuini) formerly glass -utter to Louts XVI late king of France, j We have seen a six light chandcl cr, with prisms of his cutting, which does credit to the workman, end reflects honor qn bur countrv, lor we have reason lo be lieve it is the first ever cut in the United ; States. It is suspended in the 'house of! Mr. Kerr, inn-keeper, of ihis place. Increase of weaversAn the vear 1800. thera were but 5 looms in Pittsburg , in 1807 there were 18, awl 'at this timc (1809) we have 44. It is calculated they weave about 59.000 yards annually, of linsey woolser and cotton and linen mixed, which-is worth upon an average 66cents pet yard, amounting oS38,940. There xras also considerable quantities of rugs, fabie-cloths, rug carpets, cover lets. &c. woven. Linen. About 80,ri)0 yard of flixm linen, coarse and fine, brought to the Pittsburg market yearly, averaging from 25 to 40, and some at from 75 to 100 cents per yard, (th: two last qualities are increasing in quantity) besides about 10,000 yards of cotton and linen mixed, and 5000 yards of linsey-woolsey ; all made in this and the neighboring coun ties, by the industrious families of farm houses. Wc feel a pleasure in having seen a fine piece of linen made by a ldy of this place it spun 6 doz. cuts to the pound, and is 16C0 in quality ; it sold for 150 cerits per y.rd. have seen anolher piece spun by another lady of Allegha ny county and wove by her husband, beautiful in quality and texture If we had a few spinsters, such as these ladies, our country wouldsoon be relieved of the heavy exptnee" of importing linens from Europe. There is no doubt but we have hundreds, nay thousands of ex cellent spinstcra, but they are as lights under a bushel, hid for want of encou- ragemtat to shew themselves : now is , the time let them thiow ofTthe man tle ; their coun;ry calls for their noblest exertions. Let it no longer be foolishly and roundly asserted, that the American flax will not make, nor can the Ameri can women spin, fine linen. The asser tion is libsl on our country. Fine ihredd.We arc happy to End that fine and beautiful thread is now brought to our market. We have seen some of 12 dozen ruts to the pound, about the quality of No. 28 imported. JP'oallen Cloth -Wc have seen abeau- hiful piece of fine black cloth made by Mr. John 1). Dassa, of Zelenople But ler county, Pen. a German gentleman oC enterpnze. It was made from hi Merino sheep,. and willocar a compa rison with imported cloths, such as wr buv from our merchants at from 8 to 9 I dollars per yard, Wc hare also seen a piece made by Col. David Humphreys, of Connecticut, which does h&nortothe patriotic exertions of its .worthy manu facturer ; a man whose name will be engraven on the minds of his fellow-ci-tizens, for . his noble labors in the encou ragement of the domestic manufactures of his country, particularly his rapid im provement of the breed of sheep, by the introduction oTthe Merino breed. There is a good deal of the coarser woollen cloths made by our farmers f r family use. Some flannel is also manufac tured. The Philadelphia, Domestic Society, we are informed, have for sale vry handsome woollen cloths, calicoes, and all kinds of cottons. Our western mer chants "we should suppose, ought to give this society, and all others of the kind, every encouiaeemrnt. Rope walks We have but one, and j this on a small scale ; there is one atj Brownsville and one at Wheeling, on a j tolerable large cale. In Lexington, and j nt Louisville, Falls of Ohio, there are j several on a very large scale. At Cin-! cinnati. Ohio, there is ft rope walk whose ' proprietor advertires for 500.000 lbs. of: hemp, at five dollars per hundred wt. Snuf & Srgars. There are 5003 lbs. oj Kapee and Scotch Snuff, anU 800,000 segirs manufactured here annually, prin cipally of Kentucky tobacc o. Flour & Whisk Of these articles, a vast and unknown amount is made throughout this country. There is, however, too little foreign demand for the former, and too great a home con sumption of the latter for the good of the inhabitants. A house full of machines. At the lower falls of big B aver creek, there are ah oil mill, fulling mill, a mill for boring and grinding gun-brrels, a wool card ing machine, a nail factory, and a mill fr sawing whet-stones, all under one roof. At the same place, are a cotton carding machine and spinning jenny, an ingenious nuch'ne for cutting and form' ing at one stroke, cotton card teeth, a nachine fr cutting large screws for tobacco presses anjd fulling mill, and one for making fullers shears. Tlie greater part of the ab -ve machines are made by David Townsend, an indcf ti g'ble and ingenious mechanic, and one of the firm. Boat ship building. Kentucky 2c . New-Orleans boats, keels, barges, skiffs, cc. are made in great numbers on all j A . ' our rivrrs. Ann mere now is a vessel of 150 tons building on the Alleghanv rivtr, about ten miles ab-jve this place, by Sir. Robbins. Considerable ship building has bf.en carried on at Marietta and other places on the Ohio, "but the business has. been slackened by the change of our commercial alT.iirs with Europe, whose sy tem of commerce seems to be that of war and plunder, our's peace and justice. These princi ples arc now at issue (and time they should be) and the Great Dispenser of Events only knows where il will termi nate. Pipes & Queen's ware.Vc have a pipe lactory in town, and ther is a good kind of queen's ware made at Charles- town, Brooice county Va. together with sionc wares : sione wares are aiM uiaue at Wheeling and other places. Earthen po teries are numerous. Woollen (3 cotton cards There is a factory of these at Brownsville, and one for cotton cards is now erec'ing at Ed dy ville, on the Cumberland river (K.) by Matthew Lyon. Paper. -We have two extensive pa per mills, one on Big Redstone and the o;her near the mouth of Little Bearer Creek, which manufacture good paper of different kinds to the value of about 25 or 30,000 dollars worth annually. But they do not supply as much as the markets stand in need of. Much of this article 13 yet brought over the moun tains. There are six paper mills we are informed in the state of Kentucky, one ofvhich goes part of the year by the force of steam. We seriously ad monish our good house-wives and their Tittle daughters lo save all clean linen and cotton rags, for without these no paper can.be made, and without paper books cannot bt- printed. A good price will be given for them by all the prin ters of this place. Steam mill A mill of this kind has been recently erected in town, and of a construction and mechanism that does honor to human invention. . It is calcu lated for three pa3 of stones, ich it estimated will .'make 100 barrels of flour in 24 hours. The running gear are an ci cast v&&) 02 wmca caere is near 10 tons about it. The two cylin drical boilers, whch are of Wrought icon, are 2d feet in length and. 27 inches in diameter ; they consume about 20 bu-sh-els of coal daily, which cost one doltar. The mill is owned by Owen and OJrver Evans of Philadelphia, St has cost therri, it is said, g 14,000. . i f Salt. There are 300,000 bushels of salt made'annually at he Onondago jalt works, in the state of New-Yqrk The two worksjon Big Yellow Creek,1 Ohio, make about 3000 bushels annually. I'he ,salt. works Ibefow Chilicothe, say 3000 bushels. In Kentucky there are 1. 15 licks, at which are made about 6O,C'0O' bushels. King's salt works, bordenng ! Tennessee," make, say 25,000 bushels. I TM . .. . . ft.,'. ! ... 4 . ! i ne sanne works m the Indiana; Terri tory, 15 000 bushels a year. The; works newly set into operation in Butler county (Penn) by Thomas Collins", Esq. mike abort 2 000 bushels ; amounting irs all to about 420,000 bushels of an awiual internal supply. And it. is thought dou ble this quantity could be made,; were these "works carried on to their full lex tent. . j The report of Albert Gallatin, otjJa nuary, last snys " Theannu d average of imported and consumption of salt, al most 3,000,000 bushels, weighing each 56 lbs equal to 75,000 tons, and requi ring, in fact, 125,000 tons 6f shipping for its importation." j Bar iron & castings. Our country is rich in furnaces and forges. Wijhin 60 milc3 of this place, about 4,000 tons of bar iron,' 18,000 tons of pig and cast ings, and 400 tons of slit iron, made'an nually. Exclusive of what is made at these forges, about 500 tons cf rolled and bar iron come to our marketlan nually from forges in the mountains! Shot .There is an old factorof his article at the lead furnace in Louisiana territory, and we understand a factory for patent shot is about to be erected on a very large scale there. There are two patent shot factories in Philadelphia, which make vast quantities of this! ar ticle. . ! j Powder We have several poWder mills In tiiis country ; but their supplies are hot eqml to the consumption Con siderable -quantities are brought ftom the manufactories over the mountains. Saddlery. This business is carried on. brtskly ; to the value of about 40,000 dollars worth of saddles, bridles, Etc. are manufactured here annually ; jand in Kentucky, we are informed, it is $till more expensive. ' ; ! jj Cheese. This article is made in New Connecticut, Ohio, to a very considera ble amount, and exported to Kentucky and to this place. Considerable quan tities of good cheese are,however, mjade by the industrious fdtmers of thisneigh borhood and disposed of in our market. Mr, Robb ns, aboitt a mile from town, it. is supposed, makes in three dairies, 9,000 pounds annually, at 12 1-2 cents 1 ' r 1 1 0 r ' per iJQUUO, 1 " O 1 I 43., j Boots d shofs - These are made in this place to the amount of aboiit 35,000 pairs cf shoes, and 15 000 pai rs of boots annually. The most extensive manu facturer in this place is Mr. James ijid dle, whose annual sales are considerably above $57000. Women's shoes-, JioWe ver, are not made to any considerable extent. A considerable shoe factory is carried onat Harmony, Butler couinty (Pen.) a handsome village settled ' by Ge mans. i 1 Hats. We have a great internal sup ply of hats manufactured throughout jthe western country. Mr. Abraham AVat kins is allowed by the best judges, to manufacture hsts equal to any in jthe U. S. or perhaps in the world. j Sticking. But few of these are made, except those knit in private families, and these of the coarser kind of woollen stockincrs ami socks thev arc, howe- 0 ver, increasing.
