The discoveries of science, and their practical application to tbe production of wealth by means of machinery snd other inventions. Lave, within the tost half century, totally changed the aspect of society. The legislator sud philan thropist are bound to take into their consideration these new, and, hitherto, unparalleled elements and, disregard ing tttw petty, unimfortenr. local questions, which generally occupy the attention or mankind, to look forward to the effects which they are calculated to produce in their farther progress ana development Manufacturers and political economists boast, thai England is the world's workshop, aod, in support of tuia proposiiou, ana mat we snail continue permanently to enjoy this eligible position, we have proudly and correctly enumerated our coal and iron mines: we have calculated on tbe teemine- nroduc- tiveness of our existing machinery and on tbe embryo ww luveuuons, 10 oDviaie ine necessity tor tbe costly toil of bodily labour, wLich are unceasinrlv introduced by the acknowledged superior mechanical ingenuity ui our arcisans. We look to onr seagirt shores, nnmlierless rivers and ocean highway, as affording us peculiarly natural nuu economical means ot intercommunication and in tercbange of coromooities amongst ourselves, and facilitating our intercourse with all the nations of tbe earth aod we forget not the vast gigantic treasures of accumulated labour left us by preceding generations in immense pil of buildings erected all over the country, for the use and convenience of all descriptions of useful manufactures, in quays, docks, harbours.

lighthouses, tu accommodate our maritime traffic, and in well. constructed high roads, canals, and railroads contrived to economize labour and time, and so give vitality, vigour, and celerity to our internal traffic Lastly, we sum up the natural and acquired resources, and add thereto onr native skill, enterprise, and in dustry, in the management of these power lul elements, whicb give to them such a beneficial direction as. ia spite of the inveterate Corn and other restrictive laws on trade, have hitherto enriched ourselves, clothed the naked, fed tbe poor, and conferred a blessing upon every memner oi tne uuman family. Taking our lofty stand on the belief, that the com mercial position we occupy is sanctioned and approved by the Supreme Intelligence, the infinitelv wise God. tbe beneficent Father of all mankind, we have a holy confidence that these means, combined with free trade, trade emancipated from the foul, malignant influences of sordid Corn Laws, and other base restrictions on commerce, will enable us to maintain our supremacy in the arts of industry, and place this country on a id rone wbicb would vainly be assailed by any rival.

Hitherto, Great Britain has been pre-eminent as the manufacturing empor ium ot the world, but now com petition has arisen, and nations will, undoubtedly, ii future, be combatants iu tbe glorious and beneficen contest of endeavouring to create abundance of food clothing, ami everything else necessary and useful to man, 6o cheapened by tbe aid of machinery, science and skill as to be obtained aud enjoyed by all. The consumption of every article of manufacture win ne immensely augmented thereby. A greater number oi sxuiui labourers will be required, and advanced wages will tread on tbe heels of an increased demand for the labourers who have skill to direct th mighty producing machinery; for increased skill uni formly commanis higher wages, for this plain reason mat skill, in less time aud with diminished toil, per forms a greater amount of work. This drain on the labour market will operate to maintain or increase tbe wages in every other productive branch of industry inasmuch as wages have a tendency relatively to equalize themselves. Manufacturers and political economists do boast, indeed, that England is the world's workhouse may it long continue to be so bnt let tbem seriously consider, that it is now no longer a race between individual British manufacturers.

Other countries have entered the list and, if we are to bold the honourable station of being the greatest of all" simply becaase we are tne servants or au, we mast bave an immediate re peal and total abolition of tbe obnoxious Corn Laws, and of all those other iniquitous restrictions which, to gratify sordid, selfish avarice, are impiously and pro fessedly imposed to frustrate the bounteous designs of Providence, to shut our ports against the plenty of fruitful soils and fruitful climates, and make corn in Egypt" of no avail, and, instead thereof, to inflict dire scarcity, pinching want, and consequent pestilence on the unoffending and impotent, because unrepresented poor of free England. Free Trade Heaven-born free trade can alone maintain our advanced position amongst tbe nations of the world, can alone reinvigorete our languishing inuusiry, restore uur commerce, ana cause our beloved country to teem with plentv and prosperity And, by distributing universally, in exchange for superabundant produce of favoured labour, tbe ingeniously cheapened produce of our skilful labourers. constitute us, in perpetuity, the leading and greatest oeneiactors of all mankind. whence Hetworth Miscellaneous intelligence- Accident to his Royal Hiorness Prince Albert On Tu'-sdny morning, about 10 o'clock, his Royal Highness Prince Albert was indulging in the exercise of skating on tne spacious water in tbe grounds Buckingham Palace, when bis Royal Highness nnfor tunately passed over some rotten ice, which immedi ately broke under him, and be was immersed to the chin in water The Queen was a spectator of th accident, aud was lor a tune greatly alarmed. Illness the Duke op Wellington.

On Friday in tbe midst of the speech wbicb Lord Brougham was making iu support of a petition, tbe Duke of Wei lingtou rose from his seat, and was walking towards the upper end of the house, as it appeared to take his departure, when bis grace was suddemy observed to stagger slightly on one side. Almost every peer pre sent rose and rau to the noble duke assistance. His grace requested that his carriage might be called and tbat be might be at once driven borne to Apsley-bouse He was conducted to his carriage surrounded by Peers wbo manifested the most anxious sympathy with his Grace's indisposition. He appeared very pale, and trembled a good deal but did not become insensible, It is believed that his Grace would have fallen in the house but for tbe quickness with which Lord Kenyon and Lord Redesdale ran to the Duke's assistance. The Duke of Richmond accompanied the noble duke in his carriage to Apsley-bouse.

Subsequent accounts bave stated the perfect convalescence oi bis Grace. Public Income and Lxfenditciie- By a return from the Treasury to tbe th of January, it ap pears that tbe total income for the past year was 47.567.503 12s. lid. and that there was an excess of expenditure over income of 1,593.970 15s The total charge for tbe funded and unfunded debt amounted to 29,381.718 6s. 4d.

Trial op Lord Cardioan. It is stated that the fitting up of the House of Lords for tbe trial of Lord Cardigan will cost 2.000. The public bave thus to pay because Lord Cardigan was pleased to call out and shoot Mr. Tuckett. This is a piece ot feudalism rather too irrational and costly for our times.

Cardigans should be relegated to tbe Old Bailey. A dozen duels by Peers in the course of tbe year would be attended with an expense and inter ruption of tbe business of Parliament that would compel the public to call for an abrogation of the ab surd privilege of the Feers. Kraminer. Public Executions. A notice has been placed on the books of the House of Commons, by Mr.

By a canons coincidence this motion is mimed for the same day as that on wbicb tbe Earl of Cardigan is to be tried in tbe House ot Peers, for attempt to murder, ate. No Boy Chimney Sweeps allowed. By an act of parliament, passed July, 18401, on and after tbe 1st of January, 1842, a penalty of not more than 10 nor less than 6 is imposed upon all persons wbo shall compel or knowingly allow any young person, under the age of twenty-one years, to ascend a chimney for tbe purpose of sweeping it, or tor extinguishing the fire therein. It also forbids chimney-sweepers em ploying in their business any person nnder the age of sixteen years, whether as an apprentice or otherwise, and imposes the same penalty lor tbe violation of this prohibition.

To relieve chimney-sweepers of their apprentices, and other children whom they may em ploy, they must torn tbem over to tbe officers of the parish in whicb tbe employer resides, and such ap prentices or children are to be considered as settled in such parish.

We find in tbe Gazette de Tribunau, tbe trial at Tours of a young iglisbman named Hostock, wbo bad robbed his em ployer, a banker at Northampton, of 800 sovereigns, und fled to Boulogne, and thence to Tours. The offence for whicb he was tried was travelling with a false passport but the most interesting feature in tbe atlair was tbe refusal of the French authorities to sur-recdi him to an Enaiish police officer, as tbe English government could never be prevailed upon to deliver up a i etugee from France under similar circumstances.

Forged Notes at amino Houses. At the Central Criminal Court on Saturday, Richard Moore, a per son of gentlemanly appearance, was convicted of hav ing feloniously uttered a forged note of tbe Salop Bank tor jto, knowing tbe same to be forged, with intern to defraud Messrs. Glyn and tbe London Bankers. It appeared that tbe prisoner had last money at play In the billiard-room, 358, Strand, aud tbe note iu question was oue of those with wbicb he had paid his sses.

The prisoner was also convicted of having forged and uttered two bank notes for and jto, with intent to defraud the Boston Bank, under similar cirru instances. Mr. Justice Coltmau sentenced bim to 15 years transportation, and told him bis crime was increased from the fact of his being a man ot educa tion and station. The Psess and the Law op Libel. Two years ago we warned the public of Bolton against the" West Middlesex Insurance Company we spoke decidedly because matters bad come to our knowledge sumci ently infamous to stamo the word "swindler" on all parties concerned in similar nefarious proceedings; and we termed tbe "Company" swindlers, because their frauds were known to us, and the disreputable and ruinous nature of their schemes had already in volved muny credulous, but honest persons.

The agent here resigned the honour of being connected with the parties, and since tbat time the West Middlesex" has had no agent in this town. We were unable to follow op onr exposure of tbe scoundrels. for every step we took in order to put the public on their guard was, according to the statutes, a breach ot tbat glorious piece of legislation termed the Law of Libel." We were, at tbe time, threatened with an action of libel by tbe solicitor of tbe Company, which action, if tbe directors of tbe base and foul conspiracy against the public, called the West Middlesex Insur ance Office," had thought proper to proceed with, we must unavailingly bave fought against to our own cost, for the greater the truth the greater tbe libel," and however satisfactorily we might have convicted tbe Company of fraud, we could not have escaped the perils of such a prosecution. And thus, wherever bodies of daring swindlers make their appearance however conclusive tbe evidence of fraud against them tbe press can only stand between the public aod im position npon its own responsibility, for while the public are benefited by the discovery, the discoverers are the victims, and they x-o should be protected in tbe discharge of their nseful ities are either imprisoned, or punished by moneta penalties, for their thankless trouble. Snch is th law of libel.

To keep them utider, make small holes an inch deep, and tbe diam ter of the little finger, round tbe plants tbey infesr. Into these boles tbe slugs will retreat during tbe day, and they may be killed there by dropping in a little salt, quick-lime in powder, or strong lime and water.

Remedy for Frosted Potatoes. It may not be generally known, tbat potatoes wbicb may be injured by the frost, by being put into cold water for several hours, will greatly extract the frost from them, and render them useful. Tbe experiment was made here lately, and proved satisfactory. Perth Courier. To make Dutch Beep.

To ten pounds ot lean beef take two oances of saltpetre, one ounce of allspice, a quarter of a pound of common salt, a quarter of a pound of coarse sugar, an ounce of pepper, and about half a pint of water. Rub the saltpetre on first, and let it remain all night next morning add the other ingredients. Let it lay teu days, rubbing and turning it each day. Bake it in tbe same psn and liquor till tender, adding half a pint more of water before putting into the oven. Saltino ano Cubino Animal Substances.

Our attention has been invited to a new process, protected by letters patent, for the above purpose. The advan tages enumerated in the circular are I. The whole process of coring effectually the animal substance does not occupy more than a quarter of an hour, econo mising thereby labour and time to a vety great extent. 2. At any season of the year, and in any temperature, even under the influence of a tropical sun, the process is effective, and may be used with perfect safety.

3. The materials employed are the same as hitherto used. but less than one-third of the usual quantity is con sumed. 4. Any desired flavours, and any degree of sairness, may be communicated, tbe process being thus equally ttppncable to bams, tnugues, and other preparations as to plain salting.

Fish, poultry, ate. may be treated with equal advantage. 5. By this process the nutritious elements of tbe animal substance are all preserved in it, which by the old mode of curing, are necessarily much deteriorated. 6.

By this process hides can be prepared for packing with great advantage, occupying much less space, thoroughly preserved, and rendered fitter for tbe tanning process." The meat to be cured is placed in an iron vessel of considerable strength, connected by a pipe and stop-cock with the brine tube, also with an exhaastimr numn. The cover having been screwed down on tbe vessel, tbe air is extracted and a vacuum established, whereupon, the stop-cock being properly turned, the brine rushes in and takes tbe place of tbe sir, filling tbe pores of the meat, and penetrating thoroughly the animal substance. Lest, however, some parts of the meat might not have been impregnated with the pickle by this reaction and the common atmospheric pressure, more of the liquid from the tub, prepared to taste with salt alone, or with saltpetre, or sugar, or spice, or aium in tne case oi nines, is pumped in by a small condensing engine (connected of course with the iron vessel) until a pressure of from 150lbs. to 2001 bs. ou the square inch be attained.

Now, the animal sub stance is allowed to remain under pressure for about ten minutes, and the process is complete. The meat when taken out is thoroughly saturated with the brine, tbe full flavour of which is imparted to it, and well cured. A New Featheb in Reynard's Cap. The fox is proverbial for slyness, but we do not recollect to have read of his ever outwitting a woman. This laurel.

however, he has now won. Recently at Woolev. near orancepein, the dame oi a certain farmhouse was alarmed by a terrible cackling amongst her hens, which roosted above tbe pigs, the stve beine inclosed by a high wall. She instantly hurried to learn the cause of the riot, and canght a felonious fox industriously making free with her feathered friends.

Gateshead Observer. Barbarous Cruelty. Considerable excitement prevails in tbe neighbourhood of Whitchurch, Salop, in consequence of tbe recent disclosure of the most revolting atrocities that ever disgraced civilized so ciety. A man, named Jones, a well-known character, and his wife have for a long time shamefully ill treated an illegitimate son of the latter. Last week, the ruffian Jones, having seized tbe defenceless and innocent victim, actually thrust his little hands into the fire and held them there till they were burnt in a shocking manner.

Not content with this frightful torment, be heated some wire and drew it, red hot, through the quivering flesh. Previously to this he had tied his eg together a little above tbe ancles, and with his clinched fist inflicted snch injuries opon this wretched babe as bave left his body blackened from his bead to his feet, not even excepting bis face aud arms. So awfully severe has also been the use of the rod, that without exaggerations there is scarce a inch of surface on any part of his person tbat does not even now pre sent deep traces of ita barbarous use.

On Suoday night, a few minutes before twelve o'clock, a light waa observed, by a policeman on duty, in tne gaiiery of the above venerable structure and, supposing from the flickering of the flame, that it was thieves who bad broken in, be informed the clerk, who resides adjacent to the church, of his suspicions. The clerk lost no tune in procuring the keys, snd on opening tbe church doors, it was found thst the gallery was on fire, near the organ.

The flames, owing to tbe sudden opening of the door, spread with greater rapidity, and communicate 1 to the organ, belfry, and the other portions of the fabric. The clerk then secured the books with the greatest difficulty the smoke being so dense as to nearly stifle him. The policeman raised an alarm, snd roused up the inhabitsnta residing near the spot. The engine waa got out, but no water could be procured to work it. An express was then sent up to the different stations of the Fire Brigade Establishment for the engines belonging to them.

The flames st tbis time burst forth from tbe windows of the building, and had a moat beautiful appearance, the whole of tbe interior being one mass of fire. Mo water ap to tbia time could be procured, aod the opinion among the bystanders and firemen wbo bad arrived was, that the fire must burn itself out. The church ia surrounded by a yard, and has a beautiful square tower, with a peal of eight bells the whole of which, together with tbe church organ, have fallen a prey to the devouring element. About two o'clock tbe peal of bells fell with loud crash, which were soon after followed by tbe roof, snd nothing is left standing but the bare walls of this immense edifice, which was capable of holding between 1.000 and 2.000 persons. No water could be procured, snd ont of six engines which had arrived two left, there being no appearance of any water.

The flames continued burning furiously for some time after. On making inquiries of the proper authorities, no account could be obtained of the cause of tbis sad calamity the clerk saving that every thing appeared safe when the church was closed after evening service. Beginning Betimes. Dr. Thomas Robertson, wbo was examined as a witness in a causa tried last week before the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, stated in reply to the cross-exsmining counsel, that before be became Doctor he was in tbe army and tbat he was a lieutenant (of militia) before he was three years old But this wss in tbe good old Tory times when patronage in all tbe professions dispensed with a strict regard to the public good.

Many per sons (says the Globe) express surprise at tbe sudden chanze which has lately occurred in tbe state of our Money Market, which exhibited every appearance oi a continuance of full currency a fortnight ago whilst. now, we are exposed to a renewal of pressure. It aoes not appear that any forcible action has been resorted to for the purpose of contracting tbe circulation, aa we have not beard of securities being sold by the Bank, as on some former occasions therefore we must pre sume that the contraction bas been effected by the Bttnk encashing the bills falling due in her hands, and which she had taken on discount in November or December laat.

Globe of Thursday. Turn-out at the Lancashire Collieries. Every day seems to add seriously to tbe embarrassments arising from the colliers' turn-out, the extent of which seems much more formidable than was at first sup posed. The turn-out was simultaneous throughout Lancashire coupled at the same tune with an attempt to extend the operation and influence of the turn-outs into Cheshire and other parts. At a meeting of the masters, it was found that amongst them there was a ready supply of 500,000 toos a quantity adequate to three months' consumption.

A rumour has been very general in Manchester, that tbe turn-out of tbe colliers is the result of a common understanding between the men and their masters. Tbis at all events is uot generally tbe case, though the occasion bas advantageously occurred to clear off large stocks, and in many instances of very inferior quality. The conclusion of the contest is likely to be a compromise of tbe points in dispute, and the public will have to pay the difference in the shape of an advanced price for their coals. Some of the masters admit that the claims set up by the men are not without some degree of justifiable pretension, but they allege that were the men paid a price yielding more than the ordinary necessaries of life, they would only work half their time, and tbe collieries be only partially worked.

St. James's Pare. Perhaps the grandest sight this favourite promenade ever presented was that of Sunday. There were not hundreds or thousands, but we may say. without exaggeration, tens of thousands of person assembled iu it from mora till eventide.

To compare its appearance to a fair, would be giving scarce au idea of the animated picture tbat presented itself to the spectator. In a fair we uaturally look for large numbers, but here was one dense mass of heads, the bodies belonging to which laughed to scorn the bleak winds aod nipping twitches which old Father Frost loves to bestow upon us at this, bis rather protracted revel time. The entrances to the enclosure were as the entrance to the pit of Co vent-garden on some momentous night yet greater even than that it was for the one is a rush of a multitude but for a brief space, whilst this was one of many hours. The surface of the ice, firm as a rock, was scarcely to be seen, so countless were the numbers on it. There were no accidents to mar the hilarity of the scene, and sable night hod visited tbe charmed spot ere its en tranced visitants had wholly left it.

Effects of the Severity op thb Weatbeb. The extreme severity of the weather has greatly affected the police both in tbe city and the metropolitan dis tricts. No fewer than fifty of the men belnngiug to tbe six City divisions bave been entirely disabled from doing duty, in consequence of the extreme cold. In the metropolitan force the number is between four and five hundred. At Hampsteod, Higbgate, Hackney, Brixton, Woolwich, Greenwich, Norwood, Putney, and those districts exposed to bleakness, the sickness is three to one greater than in the metropolis.

The military doing duty at the Tower, Woolwich, Chatham, Dover, and Windsor, have also suffered greatly from the effects of the weather, so much so that instead of being on duty two boars they bave at times been relieved every hoar, especially during tbe night. At tbe Horse Guards tbe two mounted centinels are re lieved every hour. A Soldier nearlt Frozen to Death. On Wed nesday night week, such was the intensity of the frost that a private of the 60th Rifles, on sentry at the north-east terrace, Windsor, close to Brunswick Tower, was nearly frozen to death. On the picket going their rounds at tbe Castle, shortly after twelve clock, tbey discovered the poor fellow lying on tbe ground in a state of complete insensibility.

No time was lost in conveying him to the hospital, where, after the usual means had been resorted to for his restoration, he became sensible. Had he remained in tbe situation in which he was discovered for a quarter of an hour longer, death must have inevitably ensued. Sudden Death prom the Imtcnsity op thb Wba ther. About eleven on Wednesday mgbt week, as a man named Thompson, aged forty-five, an itinerant vender of truit, was proceeding along Fleet-street, London, near the police station, with his basket nn his arm, on his way homewards, be suddenly fell to the grouud. Police constable 232 and 343 ran to bis assistance, and having raised him from the ground, and discovering tbat be was in a state of insensibility, they conveyed him to the station-house, when the inspector ou duty seut for Mr.

Hutchinson, surgeon, No. 92, Farriugdon-street. wbo ou his arrival pronounced the unfortunate man to be quite dead. Mr. Hutchinson, stated, that in, bis opinion tbe deceased's death arose from an effusion of blood to tbe heart, in consequence of tbe intense coldness of the weather.

Deplorable Loss op Life. On Thursday week, five men left Weymouth about six o'clock for Lulwortb, in an open boat, in which they had come from the latter place in tbe morning with fish. It is said tbey were observed in tbeir passage by the Vulcan," revenue steamer; however, it appears they never reached Lulworth. The boat was found on the next day, Friday, near Durdle Door, about half a mile from Lulwortb, with her bottom bilged, and the oars in it, from which it is conjectured, a very dense fog prevailing on Thursday, that the boat mast have struck on a rock, and tbe men, uot being aware of its actual situation, but supposing it nearer the beach. jumped from it, and thus met a watery grave.

Sher borne Journal. Seven Lives Lost. A short time ago, a boat, with a crew of eight men. left the shore at Lacken to fish for herrings. Having been very successful, the unfortunate men were returning about eight o'clock, when, at the distance of a hundred yards from the shore, a wave broke over the boat, which instantly filled and sank.

Of tbe eight men who were in it, only one escaped, having seized on an oar, and being a good swimmer. Oo reaching the shore he gave the alarm, and Mr. Dalton, coast guard officer, manned his boat, and at great risk, from tbe darkness of the night and the height of tbe waves, proceeded to render assistance but it was too late, tbe seven wretched men had sunk to rise no more. Tbe expressions of grief uttered by one woman in particular were truly heart-rending- she had to lament the death of a husband, a father, and a brother. May paper.

B. Coutts, were seated on tbe tbe latter was utbe observed of all observers." Lord Abinger took his seat on the bench at halt-past nine o'clock, and tbe trial immediately comm meed. It was an action by Mr. Dunn, a barrister, against the defendant, a gentleman residing near the Regent's-park, to recover damages for false imprisonment. The plaintiff conducted his case in person, and after a long address to the jury, in the coarse of whicb he stated that the defendant bod given him into custody without any sufficient grouud for so doing, he called a policeman, wbo stated that in the month of June last the defendant gave plaintiff into his custody on a charge of having knocked at his door and created a disturbance.

Witness took plaintiff to the station- house, ami afterwards before Mr. Rawlinsoo. the ma gistrate at Maryleboue police court, by wh he was held to boil to keep tbe peace. Miss Coutts was next called, and after stating tbat she called at the house of the defendant, followed by plaintiff, said tbe latter was given in charge by tbe former, in consequence ot his insisting upon seeing her after she had entered the defendant's house. Oo her cross-examination bv Sir F.

Pollock, she detailed at great length tbe aonovnnrea to which she bad been subjected by tbe plaintiff, and with whicb the public are already fully acquainted. She then stated, that on the day in question she was walking in the Regent's-park with a female friend, when she met the plaintiff, who again annoyed her with his importunities and to get rid of bim she went to the boose of tbe defendant, a friend of ber father's, where she obtained admittance, and informed him of the plaintiff's conduct towards her. She had been there bnt a short time when the plaintiff knocked at the door, and insisted upon seeing her.

remain, Sir, yours respectfully, T. N. EMIGRATION TO CANADA. To the Eoitoe or the Leicester Chronicle. Sia, All ow me through your paper to give a brief statement of the objects of my visit to this country.

I woul.l first thank all those kind friends, who have assisted me, on my former visits, informing them tbat many thousands of the population of Canada are now capable of reading their Bible, who would otherwise have been ignorant. The money and books that were grmuiea iu me, on my three former visits, bare been the means of exciting Christians of different denominations to make efforts for the instruction of their own people, which otherwise would not have been witnessed. A Roman Catholic Bishop, in Upper Canada, informed me, that he was supporting two daily schools, and was setting up as many Sunday schools as he could in all parts of his Diocese. He also told me, that he had given away Bibles, to bis poor people, to the amount of 200. And by inviting me to partake nf the hospitality of bis house, and by a liberal donation in money for printing extracts from the Holy Scrip, tures.

he set an example, which no Bishop, but the late Dr. Stuart, B.sbop of Quebec, ever manifested to me. Tbe object of my present appeal to British heuero-lence is on behalf of such orpbansand destitute children of emigrants, as now are. or may be found on the shore of Canada, without friends or money. Should emigration continue as it bas been conducted, many such children will demand assistance.

It must be under stood, tbat no appeal is made for the poor of Canada but for the poor children British and Irish emigrants, who have landed or may land in Canada. I hope that I may say nothing that may hare a tendency to check emigration to Canada but to regulate emigration in such a manner that suffering may be prevented and great good result to those, who may be disposed to go to Canada. Twenty millions of people may find employment on those lands now lying uncultivated. And, if Government, or benevolent individuals, would provide the poor with a passage, insuring them tbe necessaries of life for one year, on condition they would be temperate and industrious, the result would be most delightful. And this might be so arranged, as not to subject Government, or those who might furnish the funds, to any loss for, the labour of the emigrants, it wisely directed, even for the first year, would more than pay lor the expense of passage and bread.

Tbe Government and people of the British Empire are now expending some millions of pounds annually, which is dealt out to the poor in workhouses and prisons and other places of confinement, most of which, on the plan of emigration, might be saved, and much of the crime and suffering now witnessed prevented. For. at present, most of the pauperism, crimes and sufferings in this nation are occasioned by intoxicating drinks, and, if none were to expect these benefits except they renounced the use of all intoxicating drink, then the cause of moral reform and commercial enter prise would be greatly promoted. That God Almighty may influence oar rightful Sovereign and all Miuisters of Church and State, with all possessed of power and wealth to aid this design, is ine lerveni prayer oi j. Osgood.

SLAVE MARKET, RIO DE JANEIRO. The pl-tce where the great slave mart is held is long winding street, called Vallongo, which runs from tbe sea at the northern extremity of the city. Almost every bouse in this place is a large warernom where the slaves are deposited, and customers go to purchase These warerooras stand at each side of the street, and the poor creatures are exposed for sale like any other commodity. When a cas comes in, they are turueit up before bim sucn aa be wishes are handled by the purchaser in parts, as I have seen butchers feeling a calf and the whole examination is the mere animal capability, without the remotest in quiry at to the moral quality, which a man no more thinks ot than it be were buying a dog or a male. I have frequently seen Brazilian ladies at these sales They go dressed, sit down, handle and examine their purchases, and bring them away with the most perfect indifference I sometimes saw groups of well-dressed females here, shopping for slaves, exactly as have seen English ladies amusing themselves at oar bazaars The warerooms are spacious apartments, wh re three or rour hundred slaves, of all ag p.

net both sexes, are exhibited together. Round th room are benches on which the elder generally sit. and tbe middle is occupied by the younger, particularly lernales, who squat on tbe ground, stowed close together, with their hands and chins res ing on their knees Their only covering is a small girdle of cross barred cotton, tied round tbe waist. The first time I passed through the street, I stood at tbe bars of tbe window looking through, when i cigano came, and pressed me to enter. I was parti cularly attracted by a group of children, one of whom.

a young girl, had something very pensive and engaging in her countenance tbe cigann, observing me look at ber, whipped her up with a long rod, and bade her with a rough voice come forward. It was quite affect ing to see tbe poor timid shrinking child standing- be fore me, in a state tbe most helpless and forlorn that evf a being, endued, like myself, with a reasonable mind and immortal soul, could be reduced to. Some of these girls have remarkably aweet and engaging countf nances. IN otwitbstandiog tbeir dusky hue, they look so modest, gentle, and sensible, tbat you could not for a moment hesitate to acknowledge that tbey are endued with a like feeling, and a common nature with vour own daughters. The seller was about to put tbe child through all the attitudes, and display her person tr.e same way ue would a man but I declined tbe exhibition, and she shrunk timidly back to her place, and seemed glad to bide herself in tbe group that surrounded her.

Tbe men were generally less interesting objects than tbe women. Their countenances and buea were varied, according to tbe part of tbe African coast from which tbey came some were soot black, having a certain ferocity of aspect that indicated strong and fierce passions, like men who were darkly brooding over some deep felt wrongs, and meditating revenge. when any one was ordered, be came forward with a sullen indifference, threw bis arms over his head, stamped with bis feet, shouted to show tbe soundness of bis lungs, ran up and down the room, and was treated exactly like a horse put tbroogh his paces at a repository and when done, he was whipped to his Stall any ot them were lying on tbe bare boards and, among the rest, mothers with young children at their breasts, of wbicb tbey seemed passionately fond. Tbey were all doomed to remain on the spot, like sheep in a pen, till they were sold they have no apartment to retire to, no bed to repose on, no covering to protect them they sit naked all day, end lie naked all night, on the bare boards or benches where we saw them. A great number of those who arrive at Rio are sent up tbe country, and we every day met cofilas winding through tbe woods, as tbey travelled from place to place in tbe interior.

Tbey formed long processions, following one another in a hie. It was another subject of pity to aee groups of these poor creatures cowering together at night in the open ranebros, drenched with cold rain, in a climate so much more frigid than their own. A scene now presented itself highly repugn snt to buropeno feelings, particularly those wbo witnessed it for the first time. We had overtaken on tbe road several troops of slaves bought at Rio, and driven like sheep into the country, to be sold at the different villages. A market was here opened just before the iun door, and about thirty men, women, and children.

were brought there. The driver wot tbe very model of what I conceived snch a fellow to be. He was a tall, cadaverous, tawny man, with a streak of black hair hanging about bis sharp, but determined looking visage. He was dressed in a blue locket and panta loons, with buff hoots banging loose about his legs, ornamented with large silver spars. On his head be wore a capacious straw bat, bound with a broad ribbon.

and in his band was a long whip, with two thongs he shook this over bis drove, and tbey all arranged themselves for examination, some of them, particularly the children, trembling like aspen leaves. He then went round the village for purchasers, and when they arrived, the market was opened. Tbe slaves, both men and women, were walked about, and pat into different paces, tben bandied and felt exactly as I baveseen butchers feel a colt. He occasionally lashed tbem, and made them jump to show their limbs were supple, and caused tbem to shriek and cry, that the purchasers might perceive that their lungs were qtmiifl jjn turning away from a spectacle where every tngtfcough so novel, was so revolting, we were ae- floated Jy a man with a gaudy flowered silk waistcoat, whoasnoke a little English, and said he was a German doctorXsettled in A He informed as that tbe peoplaajy.the neighbouring valley treated their slaves with tbe greatest inhumanity. Tbey allowed tbem but a scanty portion of furinha, or feijao.

and never any animal food yet on this they compelled them to work fourteen hours a day, exposing them to the alternations of heat, cold, and wet, witbont the smallest regard to health, comfort, or life. The consequence was that the deaths exceeded the births iu such a proportion, thai, if it were not for tbe constant snpply sent down in this way, the negroes of tbe district would soon become on extinct race. fFalsA.
