■“ Cotton Manufacture —by Ihigald
Hannntyne, Esq Secretary to the Cham
ber of Commerce, Glasgow ;
Cotton Manufacture of India.
'I he cotton manulac-uie had ns origin
in the East, where the cotton plant is in
digenous, and where the climate renders
a light and absorbent fahiic a suitable
clothing for the pi ople. It has in cun
s<qiieiice been long established eve.y
where over that qua-ter of die world,
though it is only in India that it is carri
ed on extensively, wilii a view to foreign
exchange
The whole implements used by the In
dians in the different processes ql the
cotton manufacture, from the cleaning ot
the wool to the convening of it into tin
finest muslin, may be purchased lor tin
value of a few shillings. With (he tx
ception of their loom, there exists among
them no manufacturing instrument that
can bear the name of a machine, nor is
there any trace of the Hindoos having c
vor displayed any mechanical ingenuity
They spin their yarn upon die distaff;
and yet with all thu advantages which we
derive from machinery, we have never
been able to equal, eiditr in fineness «.i
quality, the yam which they product by
means of this primitive instrument. The
loam upon which their cloth is woven, is
composed ot a few sdchs or reeds, which
th. weaver, carrying them about with him,
puts up in the finds, u-dei the shade of a
tree, digging a hole large enough to cm -
tain his legs and the lower part of the
“geer,” the balances of winch be fas
tests to some convenient biuncli over lus
head. Two loops underneath the geer,
in which he inserts his g cat toes, serve as
treadles, and the shuttle, formed like a
large nolling-net die, but ol a length
somewhat exceeding the breadth of die
cloth, he employs also as “ batten,” us
ing it alternately to draw through the
weft and strike it up. The loom has no
beam; the warp is laid out upon the
ground the whole length of the piece ot
cloth. On this account the weavers live
entirely in villages, «s they could not, ii
shut up in towns, work in this manner
Forbes says, “the weavers’ houses an
mostly near the shade of laniariid and
mango trees, ui tier which, at sunrise,
they fix their looms and weave a tariety
of very line cloths.”—(Forbes’s Oriental
Memoirs.) The reed is the only part ot
th*-weaving appai sins, winch approaches
mi perreviness or const ruction to the in
stillments v c use. Upon this rude ma
chine, worked in the way we have men
tioned, the Indians produce those nuts
Jins, which have long been such ebj cts
of curiosity, from the exquisite beauty
and finew’ss of their fixture.
From the superiority of these goods,
and from their being said to retain their
appearance longer than European mus
lins, it has been erroneously suppos d that
the cotton of which they are made is of
better quality than any known to the Eu
ropenn manufacturer* This is a mistake;
they have no cotton in India of a quality
equal to the best Sea Island and the
exctdlence which their nuialms possess,
is to beascr.hed wholly to the skilful tact
of the workmen in the processes of spin
ning and weaving. The well manage !
use of the finger and thumb of the Indi
an spinner, nutientlt and carefully appli
ed in the formation of the thread, and the
moisture at the same lime communicated
toit, have the effect of incorporating tin
fibres of the cotton more perfectly t'hai.
can be accomplished by our machines.
While in the weaving process, the Indi
an, to be able to manage his ill-construct
ed loom, even in the production or ordin
ary fabrics, io obliged to acquire such dex
terity and sleight of hand, that it is not
surprising, if, out of the multitude train
cd in this manner, a few should be found
capable of producing those muslins said
to be of such fineness, that, when spread
upon the grass, they appear like the gas
Burner’s web.
Cotton Manufacture of China.
Almost the uni coiloii go. ds * xpoit- »i

I chintzes. Barrow mentions, that the col-,
ton from which the former article is made,
when cultivated in the southern provinces,
is said, from the greater heat, to lose its
(peculiar yellow tint, in the course of two
ixr three years- B-.t this Mr. ISafrow
(pinks cannot he the case, having him*
stuf, he says, raised the nankeen cotton a:
the Cape of Good Hope, and found tin
thft-l year’s crop of as full and rich a tint
as tie first He states the productions of
all ts<j fabrics of the Chinese manufacture
at tlte time he visited the country in 1792
to bAitationaryi attributing this to the
want proper encouragement from the
government, and to the rigid adheren e
of the psople to ancient usage. Hut to
keep -aUhanufacture in a progressive
state, the-e must be a progressive d

manirfactiV«rs having no means of dis
posing of akj- surplus quantity, must shape

The Chinest, over and above the cot

t This interoou.'ie commenced about 40
years ago A hmine, which happened

government to drcct, by an imperial c

Account of the Progress matle 1
in the Cultivation of t ott«n
W 001.
In Hi*- year 1787, the di.script.ioDi *-f
cotton imported into Britain appear to
have been as follows :
From site Ornish West
Indies - - - ■• 6,800,000 lbs.
The French and Spanish
Colonies . ■*• • 6,000,000
The. Dutch - - • • - 1,^00,000
The Portuguese . - - 2,500,0d0
The.lsle of Horn bon by
Ostend 100,Oufl
Smyrna and Turkey - - 5,700,0d0
22,3’ 0,009 lbs
Had we continued to hr cm Hind to
these countries for our supply of cottony
the progress of the manufacture would
have been greatly retarded, from the dis
ficiilty which would hare been expet i
enced in making the production of the
raw material keep pace with the increas
ing consumption ; an!, added to this, we
1 might not have been able ty obtain the
qualities ot wool, suited to the finer de
scriptions of goods, which the improved
state of the machinery now enabled us to
undertake.
Hut fortunately about the year 1790,
the planters in the southern states ot the
American union, began to turn their at
tetition to the raising of cotton _ wool,
and, besides carrying the cultivation o‘
the article to a great extent, they pro
duced qualities of cotton before unknown.
In the year 1792, the quantity of cotton
exported from the United Slates was only
133,328 libs. At present the annual ex
port is supposed to be not less than
60,000,000 of libs, and the amount is J ear
ly increasing.
The American cotton wool first bvo’t
to this country was very ill cleaned, and,
in consequence, was for some time inew
criminatcly applied to the manufacture ot
the coarser species of goods It was
goon, however, perceived that the col
on grown upon the coast, termed Sea Is •
land Cotton, had ufinoi and loft get siaple
i limi time grow n farther back in th* coun
try, and known by the name of Upland
' Cotton But it was not for reveral years,
and after a succession of trials, mat this
1 wool was ascertained to be of a quality in
every rcsp p ct superior to the cotton of
’ the Isle ot Dorn bon Indeed, it was hot
‘ before the yeui 1796, that the finest de
scription of it was applied to the purposes
tor which Bourbon wool had till then been
’ used, and which it soon entirely supplant
' ed t the second quality of it, in like (ban
ner, supplanting the Brazil wool, in many
kinds of goods lor winch it had been em
ployed.
The upland cotton is a different spe
cies from the sea island, and is &epainted
with such difficulty from the smd. that
(he expence of cleaning this wool nils'
1 have pul a slop to its farther cultivation,
had not Mr Eli Whitney, a grntlenm . of
the State of Massachusetts, in the yeai
1795, invented a machine by which Ihe
•per.ition is easily and successfully ac
complished.
There are two qualities of this cotton
the one termed upland Geo gi.i, grow*,
in the States of Georgia and South Caro
, linn, and the other, of superior quality,
raised upon the banks of the Mississippi,
and distinguished in the market by the
Hume? ot New Orleans Colton
There was at first a strong prejudice a
gainst this wool ; it was supposed that it
was of an inferior quality, and did not
receive a good colour in dyeing ; but be
ing found suitable to different coarse fa
brics, its cultivation was so rapidly ex
tended, that, in the year 1807, 55,018,-148
lbs of upland cotton were < xporled from
the United Stales.
The cotton of the fim st quality evtr
brought to the English marke', or proba
bly ever grown, was that raised in the In
land of T ibago, upon the estate of Mr
Itobley, between the years 1789 & 1792.
That gentlemen earned the cultivation
of this article to some extent, but the
price of cotton falling very low, and the,
growing of sugar becoming extremely
profitable in consequence of the destruc
tion of the sugar plantations in the French
is amis, he was induced to convert Ids
cotton plantation into a sugar one. The
productioiucf cotton of this description
wa, never been attemp ed by any other
jjerson, although it is believed that the
price it would yield would amply repay
its expelice.
Until lately, it was thought that the cot
ton wool of India, from the shortness of
its stap:e, could not be spun to advantage
upon our improved machinery, add, in
consequence, the greater part of the In
dian cotton brought to this country was
spun upo.i the common jenny, and used
as weft for the coarsest calicoes A part
01 this wool still continues to bo tints ap
plied, but a gn at proportion of tis now
mixed with the longer stapled wool, of
other countries, and hy that means bro 1 '
into a stale fit for the mule and spinning
frames. It is to be expected that mote
pains will now be bestowed upon the
cu.lure of this article in India than has
itlierto been done The opening of the
trade will introduce competition, and the
1 lanler will find that a better quality will
command a proportionally higher price.
Tne impolitic regulations, however, esta
blished under the monopoly for securing
die collection of the.revenue, and pre
serving the exclusive trade, being in many
placcsstiil allowed to exist, retard that im
provement which otherwise would wki
tdace.
Cotton Manufacture of Ireland
The goods manufactured in Ireland
are almost entirely for home consump
tion, and the monopoly of tl.is sale is en
deavuured to be secured to it; manufac
ture; s, by a duty of ten per cent levied
upon all cotton cloths brought into the,
country. Even w ith this encouragement,
the Irish cotton manufacture does not
thrive, and English goods continue to be
imported. ihe man
high price country ; for,
without acorc.lWßdof the power of steam
at a moderate exptnee, the concentration
of the several processes, and the conse
quent saving of labour, arc impossible in
most situations.
Cotton JManufacture of France.
The only articles of cotton manufacture
in which the French are at present on a
fooling with us, are their dy ed goods, and
their sewed muslins. The colours of the
former are bright and durable, and the
work put upon their embroidered mils
t bn» isikaigncd with taste,well executed
It appears from official reports, that the
quantity of cotton used in the French
manufacture was, in the
Year 1798, IS.OOo.Oflb lbs.
1799, 10,290 0 j 0
1800, 6,726,000
1801, 11,008,000
18/2, 15,120,000
1303, 15;78o,000
1801, 17,200,000
1805, 18,412,000
1806, 31,734,000
The tcotton imported in die year 1806
was manufactured into the following arti
cles: About 1,U00,000 lbs into velvets;
about 925,000 lbs. into nankeens, nankin
ets, crap, s, and other smad stuffs; about
1,155,000 into dimities; about 14,880,000
into fustians, calicoes, coverlets, smtoists,
muslins, «c- iic.
Cotton Manufacture in Switzerland.
The quantity of cotton yairu used in the
Swiss manufacture, when trade is in its
-ordinary slate, is about 130,000 lbs, week
ly. Os this quantity more than a half is
imported; ami of the remainder,‘nine
tenths arc spun by machinery, and a
tenth by the hand.
The goods manufactured are nearly of
the same description as those made in
Uiitain. The canton of Appcttzcll pro-,
duces fine plain muslins, and the finest
embroideries. The canton of St. Gall,
muslins, coloured pocket-h.'.ndfcerchiefs,
cottonets, and the finest cotton ctotlrs
The canton of Zuric on both the b.mk
of the lake, produces about thousand
pieces of calic. ts weekly. The cantons
of Thurgovin and Argovia produce most
ly coloured goods; and in these, and in the
cantons of Zuric and Glaris, the printing
of cotton cloths is carried on to u very
considerable extent
Cotton Manufacture cf Austria
The cotton utaiiutaci- re is prosecuted
to a considerable extent in different pans
ot Germany. In Austria it is carried on
principally around Vienna, in the neigh
bourhood of which city there are a num
ber of large spinning works, a'l of which
are moved by water- The business of
spinning and that of mamrfaoturing are
kept quite separate. The weaving is
done in Vienna and the-surrounding coun
try; and it is supposed that there art
about 10.000 weavers employed. Tiler,
is also a good deal of cotton woven in
the mountainous part of Bohemia; but ,
there is no cotton spun there; the Bohe
mians u.-ing principally English yarns.—
To facilitate the contraband introduction
of these, by giving them the appearance
of home production, spinning works have
been established at Kei Jicitberg, and at
a few other places upon the Bohemian
frontier. These yarn 11 are woven into
nankeens.
The cotton goods manufactured in the
Austrian dominions are of a stout fabric,
and well executed; hut they arc dear when
compared with English goods of a simi
lar description. To give encouragement
1 ithe mauu'acture, the importation of fo_
r* ign cotton yarn, of numbers below No.*
50 and of foreign cotton cloths, is prohi
bited. Colton yarn, of numbers above
Nn 50, is admitted on paying a condera
ble duty."
* Since this article was written, Dr
Bright’s Travels in Jlustrin and Hungary
uave been published; and contain some
notices respecting the state of the cotton
manufacture of Austria He mentions
that this manufacture is carried on to a
, considerable extent at Prague and Kuf
, nherg in Bohemia; and at Lettowiiz in
Moravia, and G atz in Styria. He de
scribes some of the establishments be
hinging to it, in the neighbourhood of
Vienna, as upon a most extensive scale ;
that at Kettenhuf giving employment to
14,000 people; and that at Ebrcschsdorf,
as stilt greater, giving employment to
2 ,000 people, spread through Bohemia
and Morav.a. Their large works, he says,
have hitherto all been moved by water;
hut they have coal at Schauerieiten and
Klingenfurt, in this district, and there is
therefore a probability Ilia' the steam en
gine will soon be introduced.
He mentions the who'e people in the,
cotton manufacture of Austria, are stated
to amount to 360,000 But this number,
we think, must be greatly exaggerated;
although the spinners of cotton by the
hand, of which, he says, there are still a
great many in Austria, are comprehend
ed in it.
Cotton Manufacture of fctaxo
ny.
In Saxony, the cotton manufacture, al
though, perhaps, not of greater a
mount than ir. Austria, is more generally
iffused over the country, and exists un
der circumstances which promise a great
er probability of future success. The ha
bits and moral condition of the Saxon
people are favourable to the successful
prosecution of manufactures* Tiny ate
sober, industrious, well educated, and
t ugal; and, added to these advantages,
he administration of their government ia
liberal, and docs not capriciously interfere
w; h | inva e pursuits They} have been
long trained to manufacturing habits, hav.
mg very early had an extensive linen bu
siness; and in introducing the cotton man
ufacture, nnlhing more was necessary
than to transfer to the one, a part of the
industry which had been employed in
the other.
Cotton Manufacture of
Prussia.
The cotton manufacture is carried on
also in Prussia, and there is in the tempe
rament and habits nf that people, what,
eads us to expect that linn may become a
manufacturing nation. At present, how
ever, like Austrians, Saxons, ami other
nations upon the Continent who have at
trmplfd 'o carry on this manufacture,
they are far behind la the knowledge of
the tmaivsof economising labour, and in
that readiness and precision of execution
which the workmen of tins country pos
sess But they will soon acquire, if tile
business continues to be prosecuted by
•hem. In the meantime, they have la
bour at a cheaper price than that at which
tve can generally command it; and in ma
nuPicturing for markets which lie near to
themselves, they can, better titan we at
a distance, adapt the fashion and fabric ot
the goods to changes of taste, and ac
commodate the supply to the exact mea
sure of tiie demand.
Cotton Manufacture of
l«uss'a
In Russia they have begun to manufac
ture cotton upon a small scale At St.
Petersburg there is one spinning work,
rallied on by the Emperor, of course to
great expense. They also spin some rot
io, yarn upon the UisUtf. Ui addition
to ilkse supplies, they imp rt mutually
from this country about Three Millions
of pounds of yarn, of numbers
front No IS to No. 40 Ihe weaving
is cat tied i>n in Moscow and its neigh
bourhood; and, latterly, along that line of
c .tmtry stretching towards the Caspian
i-ea, particu larly about Sarepta; where a
colony of Jio avians lias fur some time
been established Tbe goods produced
are used chiefly for tile garments of the
peasantry.
Coitou Manufacture of
A meiica.
The American Government has evinced
great ansity for the accomplishment of
;his object, without considering that ma
nnfactnres are valuable to a country, only
in as far as by their means the people can
be supplied with the article cheaper than
they are ab e to procure it e .sew be re
When a manufacture k quires die sup
port of bounties, or ol laws
tlie iimportation ol si in iin t* articles, it :s a
consumption of the national wealth to in
eouiag. the prosecution of a branch of
;n lustlV incapable of maintaining its-. 11.
There is no greater error in policy tnai
this; and vc’ we see it everyday commit
ted, by young nations foremff mil lilac
tines, before the circumstances of tin
country a emit noli u rider! akiugs; aid l>y
old nations persisting in the manufacture
of articles which, from natural disadvant
ages, they earn ot produce at so low a
price as that at which they might pur
chase them from others.
The favourite system of a country sup*
plying every tiling within itself it aline
adverse to individual advantage, and to
the increase of national riches. A divi
sion of employments among na'ions,
\iminded upon existing, local, or aceideu
tal circumstances, is as much in utnsoii
with the SJ'.md principles of political
science, anti as much calculated to pro
mole the genera, benefit, as is the divi
sion of labour an employments among
individuals, It is not by u nation in anti flic
luring every thing it consumes that it is
tob made rich, but by its people being
prob ably employed ; and tins can only
be accomplished by the ndustry which
■ every individual practises, being what he
can, vith advantage to himself, ex
change with the industry practised by
other, Under this order of things,
die production of 'be whole will
be tlie greatest, and every one be best
paid for what he produces- If these
principles be just, it must be a nf.sappli
cation of American capital and iiv.lusciy
to withdraw then from their present em
ployment, in extending the cultivation ot
the soil, and in circulating its products—
undertakings which the people find pin
fitable, —to force them into manufactur
ing concerns supported by monopolies
and bounties.
Bcfo, e America can be iliu a stale to
oarry on manufactures in competition
with those of Europe, her vast tracks ot
unoccupied land, into which die growing
population of her older settle men's is re
gularly-flowing, must be stocked. Until
this is the case, her supply of labourers
will be kept below the demands, mid the
wages of labour above those paid in the
better peoplied countries of Europe.—
Besides the effect w hich this state of the
supply of labour has incresing the cost ot
the ai adverse to tbe proper-.m
advantageous execution of the woik.-
Thc workmen are too independent, &in
const qenct too unsettled, to submit to
that disciplne h course of training, from
winch aloh; excellence of quality, and a
sLi ady prodicuoa of quantity, ip-e to bc

The Spanish papers have attacked the
London Courier for misrepresenting the
real situation of that country. They deny
the statements that Spain is a theatre of an
archy, terror and violence, and represent
the disorders as being all hushed. Canals,
they say, are commenced-—establishments
of industry and instruction raised—new
settlements made, Stc. See. Eight ba idits

The arrival of the British sloop of warH
with dispatches, being rather an o;mor-BB

considerable speculation was aflea’.
after the Hind was announced, as io
special object of her visit. Some verv BB
wise oeople, who look deeply into miti-B
stones, were quite sure that tlie ports h.-i.iß
‘ opened for the reception of foreign corn,
and no doubt by circulating their surmises, B
lightened many a heart for the moment with. B
■ an idea of getting speedily rid of a bad B
bargain. The following, howev cr is a true B
account of the matter. B
A person arrived here on Thursday last B
in the ship Comet, capt. Griswold, from B
London, who had been cashier in a branch B
of the British navy department flu- 3J B
yoars; his sudden disappearance from hi* fl
desk, excited an alarm, and upon examina* B
tion it was discovered tnat he was a da- B
fail Iter to the amount of 18.0001 sterling. B
After searching in vain for him, it tvs-, as- B
ce.tained that he ha 1 purchased a bid of B
a broker in London, for 8,000/ sterling, B
under a fictitious name, on a mercantile B
house in New York, he likewise bought B
50 shares of stock of die Bank of tie V. B
Stales, besides in U. S. stocks of B
6 and 7 ner cent all of which, besides other H
pioptr’y of his own, he look with him in B
tile above mentioned vessel. B
The it. itish G ivernment without delay, B
dispatched a sloop of war in pursuit of the B
property, with iustrucion? to the Com- I
murder to proceed to New York, where I
she arrived on the 35di irst. with docu- I
uieiils directed to Mr Buchanuan, the 11
llritish Consul for this port, who imnie- U
diaiely called upon the House above ab B
hided to, and was informed that the Bid B
8000/ had been that day accepted It fl
wa* now time fir the Consul to act. Me fl
procured the aid of two magistra’es . f ho rM
Police, who with the Consul, traced the [B
defaulter to a boarding house, where fie tJS
had taken lodging ; but not finding hem If
sui able to his views, had sliif ed o ;mo- Fi
the ■, w here they repaired and found him jl
widi his w ife in a private room. One of M
the magis'rates having introduced liimse.f ■
in away to prevent alarm, u* ihe E"i.. n
proceeded to relate such particulars of his fl
case, in accordatice with truth, and in such II
a manner that it produced his' confession "f B
the wliole affair. His detail of the catiivs I
leading him to this disgraceful act, (d- B
though eloquent and interesting) won d it, M
cupy too much of the columns of a news- II

was delivered up in less tliau three ho rs II
