A GEM FROM FANNY FORESTER.We extract fiom ihc prool'-sheets of Alderbrook,

now in pies.s, by Ticknor &. Co., the followingtouching stanzas, written to her mother, by Mis.Judson, previous to her voyage from this port a

lew weeks ago:Give me my old seat, Mother,

With iny head upon ihy knee;I've passed through many a changing scene,

Since thus I sat by thee.Oh! let me look into thine eyes.Their meek, soft, loving iight

Falls like a gleam of holiness,Upon my heart,to-night.

I've not been long away, Mother;Few suns have rose and set

Since last the tear-drop on thy choekMy lips in kisses met.

'Tis bat a little time, I know,But very long it seems;

Though every night 1 carne to thee,Dear mother, in my dreams.

The world has kindly dealt, Mother,By the child thou lov'st so well;

Thy prayers have circled round her path;And 'twas their holy spell

Which made that path sodearly bright;Which strewed the roses there;

Which gave the light and cast the balmOn every breath of air.

1 bear a happy heart, Mother;A happier never heat:

And, even now, new buds of hopeAre bursting at my feet.

Oh! Mother! life may be a dream ;But il such (/ream a re given,

While at the portals thus we stand,What ate the truth* of Heaven"?

I bear a happy heart, Mother;Yet, when fond eyes I see,

And hear soft tones and winning words,I ever think of thee.

And then, the tear my spirit weep*Unbidden fills my eye;

And, like a homeless dove, 1 longUnto thy breast to fly.

Then, I am very sad, Mother,I'm very sad and lone;

Oh! there's no heart whose inmost foldOpes to me like thy own!

Though sunny smiles wreathe blooming lips,While love tones meet my ear;

My Mother, one fond glance of thineWere thousand times more dear.

Then with a closer clasp, Mother,Now hold me to thy heart ;

I'd feeJ it beating 'gainst mine own,Once more, betore we part.

And, Mother, to this love-lit spot,When 1 am faraway,

Come oft.too oft thou canst not come !And for thy darling pray.

MISCELLANEOUS.~the~order OF ODD FELLOWS..It isstaled that the origin ol the order of Odd Fellowsis an antique date. The New Orleans Delta

says thai it was first established by the Romansoldiers in camp, after the manner ol the Israel¬ites during the reign of Nero, the Roman Emper¬or who commenced h:s reign A. D. 53, at whichtime they were called fellow citizens. The nameof Odd Fellow was given to this order ol men A.D 79 by Titus Caesar, Emperor of Rome, fromtheir singularity ot notions,and from then know¬ing each other by night as well as by day, andlor iheir fidelity to him and their country. Henot onlv gave them the name ol Odd tellows,but at the same time, as a pledge of their Iriend-ship presented them with a dispensation, cn

graved on a plate ol gold, having the followingemblems, namely: -The Royal Arch of TitusCaesar the ark of the covenant, the golden can¬

dlesticks, the golden tables (weighing one greattalent) The sun lor N. G, the moon and stars

for V. G., a iamb for secretary, the lion tor guar¬dian, the dove for warden, and the emblem olmortality for the G. M."

.

The Liverpool Times has the following para¬graph in reference to the above order:

"It appears that this society now musters near

11,000 members in this district, an t above 1,000in'Birkenhead; and that the total number in theEmpire is 300,000. Amongst those are not lew-erthan 100 members of Parliament, besides ma¬gistrates and clergymen in abundance. LoidBrougham, Lord Sandon. Mr. Justice Creswell.and Sir Joshua Walmsley, are members in our

district."

THE LATE COL. HUMPHREYS..TheWashington Intelligencer contains the followingbrief notice of Co!. Samuel Humphreys, whosedeath was announced a lew days ago:

"Col. Humphreys was the son ol Joshua Hum¬phreys, ot Philadelphia, the first U. S. NavalConstructor, who has left us the "Constitution"and the "United States," the finest ships thatgrace the ocean, as monuments ol his skill..These ships were planned by him and built inthe year 1797; and, what is more remarkable as

showing the cast and character ol his mind, he hailnever seen a frigate when he planned them, andyet he built :he frigates which to this day havenever been surpassed, and which are the pride o!the nation. Indeed, the father of Col. Hum¬phreys, by his skill, may be said to have effecteda complete revolution in the whole science olnaval architecture, causing the old 1 woodenwalls" of England to be replaced by vessels quiteol another sort. Great Britain, finding that herships could not compete with those modeled b^him, has, since the war, made the 'United Stalesand 'Constitution' the guide lor her ar-

architects. Her old frigates have been brokenup, and she is at this day razeeing her old /4s,building larger frigates, and modelling her wholenavy upon the Humphreys' plan, which is se

forth in his official reports and letters, made ani

writteuhalf a century ago. They may be seen

by turning to the American State Papers, vol.His son, the subject of this notice, was educa¬

ted by his father as a naval constructor, also, orwhich art he was master. Some of the most

beautiful ships in the navy are from his modelsHe wa» appoint Naval Con.lrunorfor.hePhiladelphia Navy Yard in 1813, and ChielNaval Constructor in 182b, which post he filledwith advantage to his country and honor to him¬self.the latter till the day of his death.

Neither in the fierceness of party excitement,nor in the craving for office, nor in the blackestdays of proscription, did the tongue of malice ever

awail him. Upright in all his dealings, laithluto his country and himself, he was a man belovedand respected by all who knew him. He hasleft a large family and circle ol friends to mournhis loss."

THE GIRARD COLLEGE..The act cfplacing the cup or finishing stone on the GirardCollege, was pertormed on Saturday afternoon,with imposing ceremonies. One ol the membersof the Philadelphia Common Council made an

eloquent speech, which was, or should have been,something in the following style: "S. phen Gi-rard who commenced life a poor fvy> "nd Icltthe want of educatiou and the care which tenderyears required, amassed an immense fortune anddied leaving the greatest portion of his wealth to

the city of Philadelphia, and a most munificentdonation to build a College for the maintenanceand education of orphan children. He directedbv his will, that the College should be a plainbrick building, surrounded by a high wall. Butwe fellow-citizens, have construed brick into

marble, and instead of erecting a plain, substan¬tial building, which could have been completedand dedicated in three years, we have taken uz-

teen years to erect this group of massive andcostly buildings, with fluted columns, truncatedpedestah, and a massive stone wall, ten feet high,and an iron railing in addition. Mr. Girard hav-ingno taste in these matters, we have anticipatedhim in that in which he was deficient. W e haveexpended all the money, and mortgaged the pro¬perty for the balance. The orphans have waitedthirteen years for this bounty, and must waitmuch longer, but we have engaged and paid pio-iessors, and hope in a lew years more to throwopen the doors, and let in the white-headed count¬less children who may hereafter point to the sta¬tue of their benefactor, and say, 'there is thegood man who intended to make the city fathersthe fathers of the orphan, but they have provedbut step-fathers, in the investment of his bounty;and now, lellow-citizens, having finished my re¬

marks, and placed the cap stone on the College,let us partake ot the splendid banquet preparedfor this interesting occasion."

Camaro->, Mexico, August 14, 184G.Eilitois of the Picayune.Gentleman : We are

getting along here among the antediluvians most

admirably, notwithstanding ihe extremely hotweather. You Americanos out in Louisiana havehad the presumption to stale, on several occasions,that you have experienced warm weather ! It is.i idtculous tor an enlightened people to talk* of heatin a place where ice can be kept. Yesterday andto-day, between the hours oil'o'clock, A.M., and4 o'clock, P. M., were the hottest days I everheard of. The atmosphere, the earth, and thelimestone walls of Camargo seemed to be on

fire. We have not a single thermometer to mea¬

sure the heat with, but nothing is lost by the de¬ficiency, as I am satisfied that no instrument olthe kind has ever been manufactured of sufficientlength to reach the height of the temperature atthis place. How the troops bear up under it is a

wonder, and yet there are not manyofthem downwith fever. 1 attribute this extraordinary healthin a great degree to the absence of intoxicatingliquors. The drills are, with the exception ofthe Light Aitillery, conducted in the cool of theday.There are now eleven thousand volunteers and

three thousand regulars on the ilio Grande. Theyare constantly arriving at this point, so that it isnext to impossible to ascertain how many are col¬lected here at this moment. The great camp be¬low the town is already over a mile long, the lineof tents averaging about twelve deep. I saw

nearly all the troops out this evening, drilling inbattalions. The 4th Artillery were drilling as in¬fantry, likewise all the artillery, except the light.A portion ol the 4th arearmed with muskets withpercussion locks, and it is easy to distinguishthem from the rest when the battalion soes throughthe exercise of loading r.nd firing. This regimentis about 800 strong, and is commanded by Col.Child, a most efficient and gallant ollieer. The3d Iniantry is said to b» the finest in iis appoint¬ments, although small in numbers, of any in thearmy. Its neatness is proverbial, every musketlooking like burnished silver, and every article oftheir accoutrements corresponding. Col. Hitch¬cock, who i«, unfortunately for the service, sickand absent, belongs to this corps.The marching will herealter be principally

done at night. I should like to be able to go onwith Gen. Worth's command, which will startin advance next week. 1 should pity the Mexi¬can army that would have the temerity to meetthis brave officer in ihe field, for he is determinedto do something brilliant, at all hazards. Amongthe persons who have attempted to establishdrinking and gambling establishments at Camar-go, was a certain character well known to the ar¬

my. His goods were reshipped, by order of thecommandant of the town, and he was ordered off.He.became insolent and abusive in consequence,and went so far that Capt. Miles ordered him tobe arrested and put in the guard-house until theboat was readv. Qq his being released, he went

up to Gen. Taylor's tent and made a long andbitter complaint to old Rough and Ready. TheGeneral sat and listened to him in silence. Whenht had closed, the General rose, very coolly, andasked him if he had got through. "Yes, sir, Ibelieve I have." "Well, then," exclaimed the Ge¬neral, applying his right toe to a prominent partof the fellow's body in a very cmphatic manner,"be off from here, or I'll kick you clear into theUnited States."

[Correnpondmce of the New Orleans Time;".!Matamoras, August 16. lt?46.

Since my last letters, little of interest has takenplace. Troops are still going up the river byland and water. General Hamer, with his com- !mand, left yesterday. This morning the LightArtillery Companies, with ten guns, and the Se-cond Dragoons, took up the line of march, andtwo or three steamers are now at the landing fill-ed with volunteers. The dragoon and artillerycompanies, with their baggage train, made a

grand military spectacle. Everything indieatee I

some movement in a short time upon an exten¬

sive scale. From what I have heard of what is

doing at Camargo, the probability is, the advance

oftiie army will leave about the 20th inst. It is

probable Gen. Worth will command it. It is

not known here what regiments or corps will

compose the advance guard, but if Gen. Worth

commands it, his lavoriie regiment.the Sth in¬

fantry.will no doubt form a part.Health of the Volunteers..Judging from the

number of invalids arriving from Burita and

Brazos Island, more sickness must have prevail¬ed at these encampments ihan we have been ap¬

prised of. The boats which came up yesteidaybronght a great many sick, who are left hete for

treatment.several whom we saw were reducedto perfect skeletons. To the water a ml exposureto the sun, is attributed the fatality with which

these encampments have been visited. The

troops are being removed/rom below as fast as

possible; and it is 10 be hoped, as they attain a

more elevated country, less sickness will prevail.The health of the troops at Camargo is represent¬ed as remarkably good. So, also, we may say oI

this place, although contrary to our predictions a

few weeks ago, when we anticipated much sick¬ness from the filthy condition ol the city.

[ From the Sac Orleans Picayune, August 2tJ.]FROM PORT LAVACCA..The steamer

Fashion, Capt. Fullerton, arrived yesterday IromPort Lavacca, whence she sailed on the afternoon

ofthe "23d inst. She brings no news of any in¬

terest. She reports that on the 22J, the Govern¬

ment steamer Corvette.in distress.Capt. Ken¬

nedy, from New Orleans, 7th inst., bound for

much, forced the oakum out of her seams, caus¬

ing her to leak badly, broke her steampipes, &c.,came to anchor off Matagorda bar. He is now

caulking at Lavacca and hopes to procced in

two or three days. He was in company with

two other Government steameis, both bound forthe Brazos.the China totally lost, about fifteen

iniles north ol the bar, while in sight.and the

Col. Cross not since heard of, and he entertainedfears of her safety. The steamers Meniora andCol. Harney passed the bar on the 23d, for the

Brazos. The schooner Sarah Jane had got off",after throwing over her deck load of mules. The

propeller Florida arrived from New Orleans justas the Fashion left. The following vessels were

in the bay, to sail for New Orleans in a fewdays:brigs Will and Marshall, schrs. Brave, Falcon,Highlander, Sea, Florida and Peidmont.

LATER FROM YUCATAN..By the wayof Havana, we have advices from Merida, andIrom Campeche to the 5'h of August. A letteris published in the Diario de la Habano, datedthe 3lst July, to the effect, that there was a tu¬

multuous outbreak a few days previously at Val-ladolid. It was excited by an individual, whosename is not given, who was anxious to gain theseat occupied by Gov. B.irbachano. The gntu,or p. pular cry of the sedition, was, "Down withthe Taxes." The insurgents obtained posses¬sion ol the quarters of their troops, seized theirarms, and were fortifying their position, but aban¬doned it straightway upon learning of the ap¬proach of Col. Gamb ia at the head of *200 troop*They instantly retreated to Tixhualactum two

leagues distant from Valladolid. There bein"called upon to surrender, they quietly laid downtheir arms, without a gun being fired, and theleaders of this magnanimous insurrection were

seized and turned over to the proper tribunal lortrial.

Ot.iir than this outbreak, and the excitementcaused by ibe arrival of Gen. Basadre, from Ha¬vana, the peninsula was perfectly quiet.The declaration of different Departments of

Mexico :n favor of Santa Anna, the Si"In ,Y/Vt.re official organ ol Yucatan, comes out vcrv

boldly lor his cause.

with all kinds of combings, and ihe business do¬ing is barely an average, as ihe prices are toohigh to induce ihe spinners to buy, except to sup-ply immediate wants. Our cotton market hasbeen active, and upon some kinds of goods anadvance has been given. The wool market con-tinues inactive, and prices nearly stationary.

"BY THE ETERNAL, HE SHALL LIVE!".Mr. Laval, whose appointment as Sub-Trea¬surer we have previously announced, is the sonol Laval who was the compatriot of Lafayette inthe war of the Revolution, (says the RochesterAdvertiser.)

We were an infant people,bearing up against a powerful nation, which hada disposition to keep nsdown. It was not strangethai, under such circumstances, associations (mo-dernly styled "Home Leagues") were formed forihe encouragement oi domestic manulactures,with a view to thwart the designs of a nationticn stiivin; to oppress us.

Let it a so be remembered, uiai doih m u:c»c

associations, whoie organization and teneishavebeen so glaringly heralded forth by the Intelli¬gencer, Timesand Whig, were formed at a timewhen our country iccs anticipating irar with

England. It is not presumable that they wouldhave been entered into at all with reference to a

liiendly and peaceable state of affairs with that

country. The association ol 1770 was organizedafter the first riifliculties had occurred in relation

to the Boston Port Bill. The association of 1808was organized about the time ol the embargo.It is a remarkable coincidence that they shouldhave both been formed a little over four yearsprevious to the breaking jut of hostilities betweenthe United States and Ensland.the war of theRevolution commencing June 17, 1775.the lastwar June 18, 1812.

In both cases, our citizens knew that th'ywould have to contend with a country whosefoundation was built lipon commerce and traffic;and they wisely thought that if war was to come,the severest blow they could strike against their

enemy, would be to cut off his trade with our

country; for manufactures were hardly in em¬

bryo at that time, and England chiefly suppliedthe colonies.

But suppose so tortuous a construction as thatof imagining that our forefathers, in Iramingthese associations, intended the policy thetein re¬

commended as the ordinarr policy ol the countryin time of peace; suppose it was sound policy inthose day,-to wear domestic manufactures only,(and, by the way, our fathers, in speaking of "do¬mestic manufactures," meant cloths made by theirown wives and daughters, and sweethearts, andnot by the jennies of Lowell,) why should it besound policy now? The ports of England andother European nations were then closed, in a

great measure, to our productions: now, theyare opened upon liberal terms. Transportationwasdifficult a nil costly: now, it iseasy and cheapNations were then jealous in the extreme of eachother; wars between them frequent.and thechief business of diplomatists that of plotting andcounter-plotting: now, they know each other bet¬ter, and the peace policy prevails. They asso¬

ciate, assimilate and trade more with each other.^ et the policy of the Whigs invokes us to goback, whilst others are moving forward. Whenthe names of our country's time-honored patriotsare recruited to sustain such a service, we can¬

not refrain from protesting against the cause forwhich they are rallied.

In relation to the "Home League" proposed bythe famous Mr. Andrew Stewart, we would mere¬

ly remark, that it is not entirely a new thing. In18-11, after the Whig Congress had been elected,a Home League was formed in New York, un¬

der the auspices of certain prominent membersol the "American Institute." Its real object was

to break down he fledges contained in the Com-promise act, then soon to go into operation. Itsostensible object was to encourage American la¬bor and the consumption of Ametican fabrics.It appealed lor support to the people in variousStates; bJ! it found no favor with the bone andsinew of the country, who went and bought theirgoods, as common-sense taught them to do, in thecheapest market. It never found favor exceptamong a lew interested manufacturers, and no

one ever heard of the Home League, or its lobby¬ing in Congress, after the Tariff bill of 18-12 waspassed.

It may suit the pleasure of Mi. A. Stewart andhis associates to revive it, in order to eflect thepassage of another '42 Tariff; but we are in-Iclmed to think that their prospects will be foundfar less flattering than ou the lormer occasion.The question of raising revenues for the supportoi Government, is Jar better understood now thanit was when the bill of '42, fresh from the handsof the manufacturers' committees in Washing¬ton, passed the House of Representative* with¬out amendment, save at the dictation of MillardFilmure, and passed the Senate, without any al¬teration.There are two sides to the table, and if the Ta-

riffites persist in forming "Home Leagues," thereare other men in the country who can play at thesame game. Virginians will have home leaguesfor the bcnrjii 0f their mm homes on this sideof the Potomac. If Chinese policy is to be foist-ed upon them, our farmers will learn to manufac¬ture a little themselves. It is in the power of thosewho pursue the vocation of agriculture, "the nur¬

sing mother of arts," to become far, far more in¬

dependent of the manufacturers than the latier canby any possibility be of them.

We remember that this matter, about which the

papers referred to are now making such ado, was

lugged into the political ranvass of 1811, and was

at that lime replied to by the then senior Editor oi

ihe Enquirer and now Editor ol the Union.

They will there perceive thai ihe measures then

proposed were regarded wUly&s war measures..

We shall republish the article on Monday.BREVETS.

The Whig press have of late been censuringthe Administration for its alleged neglect of ccr-

lain brave officers, and among them Gen. Worih.They allege that Gen. Worth was ill-treated bythe President in not being allowed to take ranknext to Gtn. Taylor in the army; that, wishingto slight him, brevets were declared to mean no¬

thing and confer no rank, when his case was un¬

der consideration ; but when the friends of thePr«sidenl had distinguished themselves, brevetswere showered upon them, and held to confer

high honor. Now, so far from the President andSecretary of War wishing to slight or pass over

Gen. Worth, they were most kind and conside¬rate towards him, as far as the regulations of theservice would permit. It was a mishap.one ofthe fortunes of war, (or rather of not being at theseal of war,) that Gen. Worth did not crown hishitherto well-earned distinction.The Washington Union, in calling attention

to the list of names of the officers in the battles ofthe Rio Grande, makes the following remarks,evidently in allusion to Gen. Worth:"The eye seeks in vain a mill this brilliant list

for the name of one who is ihe 'bravest amongthe brave.' Yet, wherever the posi of danger andof honor is. there should we look lor his toweringplume. Distinguished ?n the war ol 1812 as asubaltern.covered with iaurels in the campaignof Florida.braving the threatening fire of theboasting Mexicans, as he crossed the Colorado inthe van of his regiment in the last Spring, weshould naturally expect to see him the first on thefield of fame in ihe battles cl Palo Alto and olRe^aca de la Palina; but the evil star ol hisdestiny separied him for a moment trom the op¬portunity of distinction. He did not anticipateany battle. The moment he suspected it, he flewto the scene of action, but it was too late. Yetthe war is not over; and the field of fame is stillopen before liitn. Who does not believe that hewill only become more animated by the disap¬pointment he has encountered? that he will loadihe van if ihe general will permit him, and thathis name will be enrolled among the be»t and ihebravest in any of the future achievements of thecampaign?"

In the beautilul lecture which Dr. McGiilfeyrecently delivered in this city on the subject ofEducation, he showed how many facis and howmuch wisdom might be gathered from the conver¬

sation and the habits of children; and thenre hededuced the conclusion that teachers, parents andgrown persons should not disdain to listen to

their remarks, but should observe what they saidand did. He illustrated his theory by numerous

striking anecdotes, all showing that the charac¬teristics of childhood were closely assimilated tothose ol manhood. Those which he tuld, how¬ever, related principally to the virtues which are

developed in the youthful mind, and which showthemselves matured in the mind of the man.The following anecdote, though it developes

no virtue, teaches quite as good a moral as anywe have heard. We gather it from a NewJYorkpaper:

"Eiperimr.nlins with the Currency..Young¬sters in ihe neighborhood of railroads have beenin the habit ol placing silver upon the track, inorder to have it flattened by the train as it passes,(a ten cent piece flattened to look like a nine-pence.)

FRANCE..During the canvass of the recentelection to the House of Deputies in France, thevotets of one of the arrondissevienls, or districts,about six hundred, gave a public dinner to Mr.Guizot, the present Prime Minister, or Ministerfor Foreign Affairs, equivalent to utir Secretaryof State. Mr. Guizot here made an clcctinncrr-ing speech, in which he talked much about thepregress in freedom made by the French Govern-ment, since the Revolution of 1830, and in whichhe said that peace and progress were the presentpolicy ot France. Leaving all this slump spccchfor what such things are worth, when madedu-ring elections, we would call the attention of our

readers to a particular portion of his speech, in!which he alludes to a recent visit of the King oftne French to the fortifications around Paris, andto the congratulations which he received Irotn thepeople of the adjacent country. He says, "TheKing of peace, the King who has maintainedpeace in France and in Europe, coming to visitthe fortifications of Paris! The same King whowilled and founded peace, coming to see thatother great work of his own conception, andwhich will be infallibly the bulwatk of France!There it was that all he had done for the securi¬ty of France and the stability of peace spoke tothe hearts of men who had worked upon it, andihe simple, but intelligent people; and they rrowd-ed round their King, uttering congratulations audapplause. Upon those ramparts, the King, sur-

rounded by the people, seemed to address Europe,as Leonidas replied to Xerxes, 'Come and takethem.'"

All this was very pretty for the occasion, anddoubtless produced the desired cfiect. But it tellssomething very plainly and intelligibly, not verycreditably to the Frcnch nation. It says thatParis is France, and that whoever commandsParis, the king or a foreign army, has the nationin his power. Napoleon said that Paris was

France; and by his system of central despotism,he did his utmost to make it so. Like all men

who are despo:s through love of power, he com¬

mitted a grievous error; lor having made ParisFrance, he lost his throne so soon as the alliedarmies entered the capital. He had no otherFrance upon which he could fall back on the de¬fensive, and gather strength to expel his enemies.Madrid is not Spain, as all Spain's invaders haveseverely proved. And it England should ever beinvaded, she will prove that London is not Eng¬land. If the capital should fall, the people in allthe rest of the island would fight the more despe¬rately. In the war of the Revolution, the Britishwere successively in possession of Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia. Yet these cities, the lastthe Fedrral capital, were not the Thirteen Stales.So, in the war of 1812, the British got nothingbut a speedy expulsion from the country, by thecapture of Washington.But Paris is France, and will continue to be,

till France obtains what she now wants, localinstitutions, provincial self-government, the sub¬division of that internal adnnni>tration now con¬centrated at Paris. The king foresaw that hisfortifications would afford ample security aeainstrevolutions, and securc the ihrone to his dynasty,as much as they would secure Paris against fo¬reign armies. But the French people did not see

this, and, therefore, fortified Paris, instead of thefrontiers. These fortifications are a gooddefencafor the city, exposed as France is to invasion fromGermany. But in vain may the French peoplehope for much political Ireedom, till Paris ceasesto be France, and political rights, exercised inlocal self-government, are diffused through theinterior..[Philadelphia ledger.

USEFUL FIGURES..The following briefstatistics will show, at a glance, ihe relation be¬tween the agricultural and manufacturing inter¬ests, and effectually answers the question, as to theamount of capital invested, and the amount ofproducts realized by the separate interests. Thesefigures may be relied upon :

Amount of capital invested inAgriculture, ... - £4,000,000,000

Amount of capital invested in Ma¬nufactures of all kinds, - - 400,000,000

Annual products of the Agricultu¬ral interests, ... - 1,200,000,000

Annual valueof all kinds of Ma¬nufactures, cost of raw material,and labor included, - 300,000,000It is the Great Falls Manufacturing Compa¬

ny, and not the Nashua, which adds to its capi¬tal fifty per cent., one half to be paid in cash, andthe other a stock dividend.The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company

makes a stock dividend of one new share to

every four of old stock. This new stock nowsells at twenty per cent, advance.

Tariff of 1840.]It is a fact, most singular and worth recording,

that, during ihe year ending June 30, 1846, not a
