MISCELLANEOUS. CONDITION OF THE WORKIN CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN. The reports to the House of Commoi upon the condition of the working of Great Britain, present a picture appa ing a ttl truly horrifying. These repor are irrefragable evidences of the physic and moral degradation of the working ar humbler classes of Great Britaoj, and ar lUn nn.tcrtc fill! 3T IlOUUUIJl, UIO SIIUIll LUUSbO III HIV. indeed present dissatisfied and dislurbo state of the people; for nothing so quick evokes from itsrnurky habitations thespi it of revolt as poverty.

The following a condensed statement of the returns coi tained in the reports alluded to, Nottingham has a populat on of 50,001 Within the town, which consists of 11, 00 houses, there are from 7, 000 to 8, 00 built back to back. When the cholei raged many rows of houses were found I be placed upon drains, which were sha low and simply covered with the boarc of the sitting room floors. These whe shrunk by heat, allowed noxious smells rise. The health and morals of the res dents suffered greatly from tne siaie their dwellings. Liverpool population consists There are in the borough of Liverpoi 7,802 inhabited cellars, dark, damp, cor fined, ill-ventilated and dirty.

These ce lars contain one fifth of the working clasi es, being 39,000 persons, and of the who) population they contain one seventh.There are 2,270 courts, in which there ar six or seven families, and few of thes courts have more than one outlet. Manchester population, 200,000. was ascertained tint 12 per cent of th working popu lation live in cellars. Ther are of that class 128,000 persons, of whor .34,676 live in cellars. In Salford.

there are 19.991 of the work ing classes, 3,335 of whom dwell incellar; It is stated that of 57.900 dwellings ofth classes, which were examiner 18,400 were ill furnished, and scarcely comfortable. In Berry, the population is 20,000. Th following statement of the condition 3,000 of the families of the working class es in this place is most revolting. In 771 houses they slept three to four in a bed; ii in 267, they slept four to five in a bed; am and in 78, they slept fr five to six in bed! This awful statement must rousthe honest and religious indignation every Englishman. Bristol population is about 120,000.

0 1,25.9 famiii? consi ting of 20,000 per sons, 2,800 families have liui one 639 houses are without sewers; and 1,30 houses are without water, or are suppliet with bad water. Newcastle-on-Tym population 64,000. The examiner of thi place reports as follows: In many part the dwellings are close, dirty, and misera ble, without order or comi'ort, whole fami lies inhabiting a single room, and living ii i i uu onu, an loiauy Am mind cannot p'oture a state of greater des titution or Leeds population 80. 000. Of 17,800 houses, 13,600 arc unde per annum, and contain 61,000 the working classes.

The streets are vcr; bad, one half of which are hung with linci is and are impassable to horses. The north ward contains 15.400 working peopli and has 93 streets. 0 these, three sewers, twelve have them partly, thirty eight are without sewers, and forty ar unknown. In 1839, the deaths in Leed were one in 28 and a half. Glasgow: Mi Simmonds the Commissioner, speaking this city, I visited the wynd of Glasgow, 1 did not believe that so larg an amount of filth, crime, misery, an disease, existed in any civilized countn In the lower lodging houses, ten, twelvi and sometimes twenty persons of hot sexes and ail ages, si3ep promiscously the floor, in different degrees ofnakednes: These places are such as no person common humanity would stable his hors in; the lower parts of several of those hoi ses are spirit shops, pawn-shops- or eatin houses.

The population of these wretel cd districts is probably 30,000, it certain! exceeds 20,000 persons, who are passir through the rapid career of prostitutioi drunkenness, and disease. The nuinbe of persons who died last year was 10,271 or one to twenty-three and a half of th whole population; and of that number 16 died oftyphus, a diseasi which never lei ves Glasgow." It appe irs from anotht statement, that in 1835, the number persons attacked by fever was i 1836, and in 1837, 21, 800. Surely such an amount of human mist ry cannot but be contemplated with ho; ror, and cannot fail of rousing the tendc sympathies of the humane and benevolen upon whom heaven showers its blessing of wealth, to some effort to rescue the fellow creatures from such an abyss physical and moral debasement!

i MOST HORRID MURDER. The most atrocious Murder that ever I disgraced the annals of crime, was com- i mitted on the 3d in the lower edge is of Cherokee county, near the Cobb line, I es upon the body of Mrs. Nancy Reynolds i bv her own husband, Gallant Reynolds, ts (culled Runnels.) i It appeared in evidence before the In- i quest held over the body, that the inhue man wretch first commenced his assault I upon his wife by choaking her; after i i(j which, swearing that he would kill her, i struck her a blow that felled her to the i floor. After she had recovered from the stun cud regaining her feet, 6he turned towards her husband not to reproach or upbraid him for such unmerited treat- menu but with eyes streaming with tears, inn hiir for utterance, plead for '0 her life with imploring looks anil silent eloquence, that would have melted the a heart of a Nero, or made the uplifted arm i to of a savage fall powerless to his i J. But to her besotted and fiend-like husband, Is the appeal was in vain! Neither streaming I eyes, imploring looks, convulsive sobs? I 0 nor even the existence of another being connected with her own, was sufficient to I stay his ruthless hand! He seized a chair I and struck her a blow on the head which i fractured her skull and laid her a lifeless corpse at his feet.

Humanity must shud- der at the recital, and sympathy will drop i a tear of regret at such deep i Twice did he repeat the blow upon her 1 3" lift less Thus perished in about her i le fortieth yeur, a woman who in the kind- i ness and affection of a wife, never was i surpassed, and in all the relations of wife, j' a neiirhhnr. friend, associated all; I the virtues of her sex. Few women ever suffered viore from the cruel treatment of a drunken husband, none ever deserved i less. For many years she had been a worthy and acceptable Member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and none doubted that she enjoyed the Religion she i professed. For her untimely fate, not on- 5" ly friends, but all who knew her mourn, This small tribute of respect is from one who knew her worth.

On attempting arrest them, an affray ensued, in which an abolitionist had his a throat cut, and one of the negroes was wounded by a pistol shot. Petrified Cucumber and Rattle- i miners in prospecting near Bellview, in Jackson County, some time fc since, found a petrified cucumber etnbeded in a rock about twenty feet below the sur face of the earlh. This petrefaclion is now in our possession, and can be seen nl jour office. It retains its shape perfectly, and is every respect a perfect cucumber, except that it is now a stone. A quarry was opened about a year since on llie east side of Rock River, Illinois, three miles above Dixon's ferry, for the use of the Railroad.

Between two heavy layers of the tock was found a petrified rattlesnake. He lay in a loose coil and probably about four feet long. We have examined the place where it lay, but 'S did not see the petrefaclion. The layers of rock were about eighteen inches thick. ly I From the face of the bluflT, to the spot ig I where it lay, is about thirty feet, and to rt, the top of the same one hundred feet.

A ir gentleman from New York had been too 3, quick for us, and carried it away. We ie were informed by the workmen, that it 10 remained perfect in every respect, the minutest scale, or protuberance being as perceptible as if the animal were yet nhve. It had thirteen rattles, and was of the jn species known as the yellow Massnssau- ger. 2 Express i Laughable New York Sun laughable incident, which oc- a curred at the Pearl street House, in this city one night last week is told by the 1 Hartford Courier. It seems that a rusty looking chap, somewhat resembling Jonny Raw, came down the river, and took lodgings for the night.

The beds in the house are all comfortably provided with mtisqui- to bars, and Jonny, not understanding the er use of them, thinking that they must be rolled up for the night, promptly stripped gi up the screen and lay down to sleep. His dreams were somewhat disturbed, how- 1 ever, by music and singing, and waking in I'- the morning found that the mosquitoes hail formed a grand serenade and danced a to hornpipe on his countenance (luring the night, bis face was so completely covered dL. with blotches and bites that he hardily knew himself in thegiass. He went down the landlord, ami told him that he would never sleep in thetarnal house again, and get stung up in that way, Why Bays the landlord did you not sleep under the musquito bar? Johnny replied that he didn't know what he slept under, but he rolled np the shade on the bed, and got in, and such a tarnal biting he never got before." Here a general roar of laughter burst from the bystanders, and Johnny mistrusted his mistake, grabbed his hat, threw down his change, and made rapid strides for the sleet, amid the shouts of the company. The Whig National Clav announced in the Senate, on Saturday that Congress, at its next session, will have to provide for another loan! From the Monty Article of the Herald.

The Bank of the United States having now ceased business, and its affairs gone into liquidation, the great pretext for refusing to pay specie is taken from the banks of Philadelphia. In January last those institutions professed their willingness to return to honesty; but alleged that they could not do so while the United Stales Bank remained suspended in their midst. These assertions were so fat confided in by the eastern capitalists that they sonsented to loan the banks large sums of money to supply' the place of that which they alleged was due to them from the United Slates Bank. The resumption lasted but a few weeks, and on the final failure of that concern they all again suspen rled and have continued so up to this lime. The public have been taxed three to five per cent depreciation on the currency furnished by those institutions.

What pretext will those banks find for continuing in this most disgraceful position? Do they imagine that the public will remain under the present slate of things? They may indeed plead the authority of the revenue law, but we apprehend that tublic opinion will have as much influence on the bank movements as those instilulions had in causing the passage of hat law. Not only in Philadelphia, but hroughoot the South, the community is novingen masse to put down bank rule, it Petersburg the report of the committee )f the currency reform association appeals itrongly to the interests of the people to liscontinnc the present banking system. Tlie following is a.i extract: "The distress from 1819 until 1823, pro. iuced by shaving Carolina money, cannot fct be forgotten here. Like causes proluce like effects, and the same state of hings must occur, unless this gambling exchanges be checked by the Legislaure's refusing a suspension of specie paynents after next January, ihetime selectid by.

This stales the evil in strong terms, and he remedy is btiefly pointed out as folows: "Already we are told that the Georgia of paying debts by notes, making the perie value of the note the basis, has had in admirable effect on exchanges." This is the true the depreciaed notes continue to circulate, take them or their actual value, and no more. This applying mercantile law, which it is in ivery man's power to execute, and is far letter than going to legislatures with the natter. Mr. Clay is a is not a gambler' nor a drunkard, nor piate; he is a so is his "boy Charles." As probf of all this, just read he following from the Globe: IR 11.
