Wyatt, Sir Francis 1575-1644 Governor; born in England, presumably in 1575; made governor of Virginia in 1621; brought with him a new constitution which allowed trial by jury, annual meetings of the Assembly subject to the call of the governor, and all former franchises and immunities. This constitution became the model for all later forms of government in the American colonies. He returned to England upon the death of his father, Sir John Wyatt, in 1626, but was again made governor in 1639. He permanently returned to England in 1642, and died in Bexley in 1644.

order of details. Much difference also exists in the machines for finer or coarser work, so that, while the above list is substantially accurate, it will not be found to agree with the order of all factories, and perhaps not in every respect with any one. The inventions involved in the treatment of cotton by machinery are about as follows:— Fly-shuttle, John Kay, of Bury, 1738. Carding-machine, Lewis Paul, 1738. Drop-box, Robert Kay, 1760. Spinning by rollers, Lewis Paul or John Wyatt, 1738. Spinning-jenny, Hargreaves, 1767. Water-frame, Arkwright, 1769. Power-loom, Rev. D. E. Cartwright, 1785. Cotton-gin, Eli Whitney, 1794.

that; the bridge-rail, which presents an arched tread and has lateral flanged feet; the footrail, which has a tread like the edg-rail, but, unlike it, has a broad base formed by foot flanges. The first public railway laid with edge rails was made by Jessop of Loughborough, England, 1789. They were of cast-iron in 3 or 4 feet lengths, and had vertical holes near each end by which they were wooden-pinned to the sleepers. They were fishbellied, and subsequently laid on cast-iron chairs. Wyatt's patent in 1800 was an oval east-iron rail. The upper surface was afterwards flattened. Rolled-iron edge-rails were made in 1820 under Birkenshaw's patent. See rail; Railway. b.

en sleepers and used at the Duke of Norfolk's colliery, near Sheffield. （Carr's patent, b.) They were spiked down. The flange was put on the rail before it was put on the wheel. In 1789 Loughborough's cast-iron edge-rail, with flanges on the wagon wheels. In 1793 stone bearers were substituted for wooden sleepers at Little Eaton, in Derbyshire. Wrought-iron bars, two or three inches in thickness, spiked to longitudinal sleepers, were then used in connection with flanged wheels. Wyatt's cast edge-rail of oval section (c) was then used in connection with grooved wheels at Penrhyn slate quarries, in 1800. Jessop used this rail in 1789, and added the chair (d), a block of iron slotted to receive the ends of adjacent rails. The wheel had a tread of 2 1/3 inches, and a flange to keep it on the rail. The sleepers were of wood. Woodhouse's hollow rail (e), with a channel for the rounded edge of the wheel, 1803. The fish-bellied rail at Penrhyn, 1805. Blenkinsop's r

re deeply imbedded in their trunks. These missiles are highly prized, and are held by our courageous volunteers as mementoes of this already celebrated battle ground. The log upon which Major Winthrop stood, at the time of rallying his men, has long since been removed in small parcels, out of which canes, and a variety of other valuable articles have because manufactured. It is truly interesting, to a perambulation over this great battle 54 to see the spot upon which the dragging valorous Wyatt was salin while in foccu-firing a frame building that was of the shelter for the enemy. ... After firing it in two places they were even off so hurriedly by the New Kent and James City cavalry that they did not have an opportunity of witnessing such an unholy conflagration. The roads from Yorktown to this place are almost impassible and bottomless, owing to the copious rains and constant travel upon them; and, as far as we have been able to learn, others, if not all, are in the same condit

The New gaming law. --Yesterday morning the Mayor, before commencing his docket, asked the attention of the reporters to a few remarks which he designed submitting relative to the new gaming law, and his enforcement of it. He said it had been stated that he had pronounced the new law unconstitutional. This he declared to be an error, for its provisions were precisely similar to an old act which the General Court of Virginia, in the case of Wyatt, had pronounced constitutional. In the case of Worsham, which came before him last week under the new gaming law, the Commonwealth had failed to show that faro bank, or any like game, had been exhibited by him, or in his house, since its passage. He had issued a warrant for the entry and search of that house, and besides arresting the parties at play there, and taking possession of the negroes, he had an inventory taken of all the property in the house, and had held it until the party charged was examined before him, and he had be
