New York Air Furnace, Peter T. Curtenius and Co. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Founderies, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixt with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts; the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owning to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.

Pots and kettles of various sizes from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye pans, skillets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling kettles, boilers for tallow chandlers and sugar works, stoves for sugar bakers, mill cases, cast bars for sugar works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slitting mills, chimney backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stoves grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouses of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, saw mill Cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, sash weights, forge hammers and anvils, plow plates, half hundreds, quarters, fourteen and elevn pound weights; cart waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.

Isaac Atwood and John Hambrow, from Birmingham in England, and several others are committed further offence, and it is hoped will soon be brought to trial, Some of the tools and instruments employed in counterfeiting have been found.

The counterfeit French guineas, which are the worst executed, may be known by the sound being flat. The hair of the head resembles balls or lumps, instead of natural curls, and is too great in breadth. These pieces weigh a little more than three penny weight, and are made of copper gilded. The counterfeit dollars are dated 1782, and to be distinquished by the out line of the back of the head, which is not sufficiently round; the nostril un-natural, and not enough raised on the outside; the III after carolus too small and crouded, and the face too long. Some are blanced copper, others of copper silvered, or, as the artists express it, boiled.

The counterfeit English guineas are dated 1784, the eye is too downcast, and the nose and forehead too erect; the eyebrow not raised; the nose too broad, the colour resembling brass, and the fleurs de lis in the crown, which they ought not. They seem to be a composition of gold, silver and copper, and want but a few grains of the English standard weight.—Independent Journal: or, the General Advertiser, April 23, 1785.

Scarcity of Paper.—As many of the customers for this Paper, are not acquainted with the real cause of their not being weekly supplied with the news for some time past, the Printer now informs them, that scarcity of printing paper, and frequent disappointments in his endeavors to obtain it, are the reasons. He early last Fall, sent cash to a friend in Philadelphia, where he was encouraged to hope for a constant supply; but was disappointed though he went there himself, owing to the great demand for paper by the printers in that city, who generally engross it at the paper mills. He had frequently before sent to Boston and Connecticut for paper, where he had received a few scatry supplies; and was encouraged last fall to expect a stock for winter from Connecticut, having sent value before-hand to purchase it: none, however was forwarded by land while the roads were passable, but delayed till January, when a number of reams were shipped, in order to be landed in Fairfield, which unhappily were taken by the enemy.

With much pains and cost, he has obtained a pretty considerable stock of paper; and at the request of many of his customers, he intends to publish his News-paper in a folio size.

The Ladies Dress varies from time to time; but, we are sorry to say, it seldom verges towards propriety, the beauty of women consists not in the face, or if it did, that is almost entirely hid, but in the shape and our modern dresses, whether introduced by fashion or fancy, are calculated to destroy shape altogether. A lady, dressed according to the height of the fashion, may be worshiped, without any breach of the second commandment, as she is the likeness of nothing in the heaven above, the earth beneath, or the water under the earth.—New-York Gazetteer, June 24, 1785.

The variety of goods that he makes and sells in the Perfumery, and different ointments for the head dress, being too numerous to mention here, he has bills printed with the Virtues and price of each article which he gives gratis to those ladies who please to send for them.

Fashions. Before the Croisades cost the Christian world so many millions of subjects, there was a sort of uniform dress in Europe.—Those who returned from the ineffectual wars of Palestine, were the first to bring with them the fashions of the East, and the most remarkable of these was the long cloak, which in the 12th century reached only to the knee; but before the 15th century, the nobility assumed a long train, imagining that the abasement of the servant gave a greater appearance of dignity to the master. But knights and princes only were allowed to wear those cloaks, and their consorts the robe, sometimes with and without gold.

For the space of above three centuries, people had the appearance of quiet members of society; no such thing as a sword by way of dress; nobility was noted by a long purse hanging at the girdle, a custom maintained by the Highlanders at this day; whereas the piece of iron which our modern gentleman now sticks at his side, carries with it an air of suspicion and turbulency.

The covering for the head was a hood, with a roll or pad at top, and a tail hanging behind. This was worn by the Irish, even early in the present century, the peasantry of that nation being the last who retained it in Europe.

In Henry the 7th's time, and even in Henry the 8th's, emblazoned or party-coloured cloaths were worn, like our present heralds and pursuivants, quartered in patches of family arms, as were also the bipartite garments, half of one colour, and half of another. But things will change, and in the meridian of the latter Princes reign, Francis the first introduced the fashion of short clothes, like the pantaloon dress, being a doublet short skirted, and drawers and stockings all of a piece; this being close, and yielding to the body, caused many indecent appearances. Some serious people introduced the Swiss breeches, a sort of trunk hose, which came down only to the middle of the thighs, and over it a half petticoat. To this succeeded the exact dress of our running footmen.

As the ladies may be curious to know how their sex was dressed, they will be gratified in being told, that in 1409 the head dress was a high sugar-loaf bonnet, with a veil fastened to the top of it, and hanging down more or less, according to the persons rank. The veil of a citizens wife came only to the shoulders, that of a knight's lady swept the ground.—In Henry the VIIIth's time, the ladies wore little hats, with a feather; from that time to the year 1600, succeeded small caps, with aigrettes or pompoons.

In 1650, the men took it into their heads that a big belly had something majestic in it, on which the women (like the women of the present day) immediately fancied that prominent posteriors were equally ornamental; then appeared nothing but false big bellies, and false big bottoms; and ridiculous as this custom was, it lasted near four years. What is very odd, no sooner had it began, than the sex seemed to give themselves no farther concern about their faces; for they hid them under a mask, never failing to put it on when they went abroad; this continued down to the end of the last century. The masks were superceded by patches, used to such extravagance, as to make the face scarcely discernible. To this succeeded rouge, copied from the Roman Generals, who painted on public triumphs. This custom is still retained, with all the other pretty extravagancies introduced in the dresses of our modern daughters of Eve, who seem totally to forget the naked simplicity of their grand-dames.—Independent Journal: or, the General Advertiser, January 11, 1786.

Hair Dressers.—To the Ladies, L. Marey, Ladies' Hair Dresser begs leave to acquaint the Ladies that he has taken into partnership Mr. Derly, who is just arrived from Paris, where he has acquired, with proficiency, (from Mr. Leonard, Hair dresser to her Majesty and Queen of France) that elegant and fanciful manner which is so much celebrated, in setting off to the best advantage Jewels, Flowers, Feathers, &c. &c. and making with Ribbons and Gauze, all kinds of Chapeaux et poufs upon the French Tocque, in the elegant taste of the Court of France. They receive orders for all that belongs to Ladies Toilets, Dresses and Perfumeries....L. Marey and Derly, No 7 Beekman Street.—Independent Journal: or, the General Advertiser, February 8, 1786.

Fashions.—To the Ladies. A writer in a morning print observes, that neither religion nor morality are affected by the materials or ornaments of dress, a position which no man in his senses will contradict; but this writer will not maintain, that religion and morality are not affected by the fashion of dress. Every voluntary action must have an end in view.

When ladies bare their bosoms, there is an end in view. When ladies tuck up their petticoats and display their legs, there is an end in view. When ladies put on false rumps, there is an end in view.

And though this end may not immediately strike the eye corporeal, yet, it is evident in the minds eye of every man possessing sensibility.

Now my fair country women, will you not allow that when fashion tend to expose this end to the mind's eye, it warms the imagination?—And—

When the imagination is warmed, what becomes of morality?—And When morality flies, can religion make a stand? Then for the sake of morality and religion, up with your tuckers—down with your petticoats, and off with your rumps SQUIB.—New-York Advertiser, February 17, 1786.

All Gentlemen that please to favour him with their Orders, may depend upon being served on the shortest notice, and on the most reasonable Terms.—Independent Journal: or, the General Advertiser, December 26, 1787.

On Female Dress. Every woman of taste who piques herself on being distinquished for her dress, is ready to pay the same attention to fashion as the Bastard in King Lear to nature, and adopting his spirited language to exclaim, `Thou, Fashion, art my goddess; to thy laws, my services are bound'.

Fashion is substituted here with particular propriety, as the fine ladies of the age, in opposition to the laws of nature, bind their services to her, and obey her capricious commands, however, ridiculous they may, secretly, think they are, with the most perfect submission, and would be shocked to death to appear in the politest circle, dressed like no other woman in the place, though in a manner not only suitable to her person, age, and situation in life but even elegant and becoming. Such is the sway of Fashion, such is her dispotic power.—Impartial Gazetteer, July 19, 1788.

Face Wash.—A most Excellent Wash for the Ladies. Take of fair clear water quantum sufficit, put it into a clean earthen or china bason; then take a clean linen cloth, dip it in the water, and apply it to the face night and morning or oftener, as occasion may require.

This lotion cannot be too strongly recommended to the fair-sex, on account of its purity and simplicity. It is free from all the inconveniences and nastiness of all other preparations of art whatsoever. It does not corrode the skin, as many others do; it does not destroy the eyes, nor rot the teeth, as many others do; and it does not communicate itself by collosion, nor betray the transfactions of a Tete a Tete, as most others do.—New-York Weekly Museum, September 20, 1788.

American Manufacture. The President of the United States, on the day of his inauguration, appeared dressed in a complete suit of homespun cloaths; but the cloth was of so fine a Fabric, and so Handsomely finished, that it was universally mistaken for a foreign manufactured superfine cloth. This fact, the Editor hopes, will apologize for his not having mentioned, in his last paper, a circumstance, which must be considered as not only flattering to our manufacturers in particular but interesting to our Countrymen in general.

His Excellency the Vice President, appears also in a suit of American Manufacture and several members of both Houses are distinguished by the same token of attention to the manufacturing interest of their country.—Gazette of the United States, May 6, 1789.

Umbrellas.—Hint to the Importers. A correspondent, who observed the citizens on Sunday last leaving the several churches after service, was extremely sorry to find the ladies so incommoded by the rain. This inconvenience was occasioned by the small size of most of the Umbrellas that are at present in use. In several instances he observed, that a considerable part of the hats and bonnets of the ladies were without any shelter against the rain, as the umbrellas from their smallness, were insufficient to cover them. It is therefore hoped that the next importation of Umbrellas will be of a larger size....—Gazette of the United States, May 16, 1789.

Stockings.—Domestic Intelligence. The season for summer goods being now at hand, it is hoped the friends of American manufacture will not forget the excellent brown and white thread and cotton hosiery made here, known by the name of Germantown Stockings. they are cheaper, and much more lasting than those of any nation in Europe.

The laudable example exhibited last year by persons of all circumstances, and in all situations, in wearing the twilled and plain Jeans and Fustians made at the Philadelphia Factory, we trust will be renewed this season....—Gazette of the United States, May 23, 1789.

The Side Curl. The side curl on the neck of beauty will again wanton with its usual pride; several ladies of the TON having appeared with that grateful disposition of the hair: this we hope will be generally adopted; for a little flowing lock on a pretty neck, gives it increased beauty; and is still more necessary to conceal the neck possessed of inferior charms.—New-York Weekly Museum, June 13, 1789.

In Honor of The President.—The Ladies, in honor of the President have agreed (a correspondent informs us) to wear the following Device in a sash—a broad white ribbon, with G. W. in gold letters (or spangles) encircled with a laurel wreath in front—on one end of the sash to be painted the American Eagle, and on the other a Fleur de lies.—Gazette of the United States, October 31, 1789.
