The New York Tribune, of the 20th of Oct., gives thu following editorial description and report of a visit to the factories of the ' Seamless Garment Company" whose fa* bries and good9 of all styles are now fairly and fully in inaiket 5 a B A M I.KSS CI AIIM K NTS. A party of gentlemen, including several members of the press, were' invited on Thursday last to visit tlie works of tbc Seamless Garment Coin]iany at Matteawan, near Kishkill, and we improved the opportunity to examine the curious and interesting processes by which woolen garments arc pioduccd without a seam, and of greater strength, durability and warmth than cloth made in ordinary manner. The Company occupy buildings formerly used as cotton mill's. There the wellknown Matteawan cottons used to be made.The locality is a beautiful one, nestk-d iu a gentle valley with bold and thickly-wooded hills behind. The water power is abundant. The woiks now employ some hundred and fifty operatives of both sexes. We examined llie manufacture from tlio crude wool to the finished gaimcnts. The wool is liist assorted, cleaned, picked, dyed* and partially carded as in an ordinary wool'l en factory. The last process of the carding machine leaves it in a thin layer. It is ' then put upon an ingenious machine which forms into what arc called baits. These batts are composed of some thirty to forty layers, placed by the machine diagonally . across each other. The iibrics of the alter' _ nato layers are tints arranged transversely l(| to each other. This gives the greatest pos' sibhs strength to the cloth to be produced, | rendering it as elastic as cassimcrc and as V j tough as leather. The batt, when complej j ted, is passed through a felting machine, in II j which the fibres of the wool are partially ^ j interwoven so as to form :i thick cloth of | considerable tenacity. This is then taken , to the tailor, who cuts out in pieces the garments 10 uc mane, laKon can; to cut | 11il'hi about double the size required. Next ; these pieces pass through the hands of gil ls ; who carefully bevel llie edges to be joined, ; and baste them together with a cotton j , thread.?The garments now exhibit a rude i approach to their proper shape. A cotton ^ | cloth having been inserted within the , j sleeves and in the pockets, and wherever j else two thicknesses come together, in orc ; der to prevent their being converted into IC , one, the garments are again pa.-sed through 1 j the felting machine, and souii come out ; with no trace of the seams except the cot.lC . ton basting thread, which is easily pulledout. They are then treated like so many " ; pieces of ordinary woolen cloth, being pass" 1 ed through a fulling apparatus, teasled and s ( sheared. After this they are put upon eop! performs, heated by steam, whieh uoinpleto ?" ! ?i...:.. i - i --'i" 1 . iiikii ouiiju.-, iiuu iiuuw mo sunace 10 oe UU.; ished. They tlion go into the hands ot' thu | trimmer, who binds the edges, works tlio ' j button holes, puts 011 the bullous and lao1 | ings and gets thein ready for market. Among the arlieles which we saw manr* 10 1 ufaetured were overcoats, business coats, " | vests, h'gginsand mittins.

To the' a laboring classes, it oilers a vast benefit. The e poor man can get a finished coat, and a bctg ter and more durable one, fur the money ;e lie has hitherto paid for the cloth alone. ? We must add that a fieece of wool may bo d converted by this process in a single day iud to a garment ready to wear. e j Jok Fjiews's "Sxkiszing" Doo.?Joo' j Phelps, who by viituo of a long painful' js residence in Jersey, has a face sprinkled1S with freckles, tho result of the sunlight onthe sandy soil of that monopoly domain?isand has been, and always will be?a dog: j, fancier.
