AMERICAN INVENTIONS.

It is with pleasure we announce the progress of labor-saving machines in the United States -the attempts which have been made to prevent the migration of improved machinery in the different departments of the cotton, woolen, and other manufactories, have been unavailing; these improvements have, nevertheless found their way hither, at the same time the American genius has been at work and overleaped the European improvements. Mr. Gilbert Brewster, (now in this city we believe) has built a machine for spinning wool by water power, which exceeds any thing of the kind known in Europe, and is now in complete operation at the woolen factory of Messrs. Wm. Young, Son, & Co. on the Brandywine—it produces yarn of a superior quality, from 30 to 60 cuts in the pound, and the owners are of opinion that with their finest quality, they can produce 100 cuts from the pound of wool. At the same place, E. Hovey's (an American) machine by water power, shears their superfine merino cassimeres equal to any thing executed by hand shears. Another artist is exerting his faculties in constructing a loom to work by machinery.
