American Manufactures At New Orleans I saw a
Gown of printed cotton which had been purchased at one
of the stores: the pattern was pretty the price very moder-
ate and the colors indelablc. The cheapness of the cotton
E thought so remaikablethat I wrs induced to ask "whence
it came?" The reply was that it was of American man-
ufacture. And soit was and even unskilled as I atn
in commercial matters was struck by the possible conse-
quences of the perfection to which the Americans have
brought their manufactures. I had never thought much on
the subject; buf'Lhad always supposed that all kind of cot-
ton and woollen goods besides iron ware were imported
into America from England. To my great surprise how-
ever I found that nearly every thing of this kind that we
saw was of native manufacture and that the prices of them
were no higher than in England. It is a positive fact and
certainly an important one that in the year 1826 one hun-'
drcd and fifty mill ions of yards of calico were imported into
the United States and that last year the quantity was re-
duced to fifteen millions. Mrs. HoustbmUs Yatch Voyage

cultirs which creditors encounter m sending their claims

there should be a more pt-j?ct remedy. Indeed the way
the law now stands the temptations are strono- to indur p
debtors to move annually. If an individual were sn dis
posed under our present laws he could evade the navmpm
of even a judgment debt for almost any given length of
time me great ditnculty ot sending process from one
county to another (about which we will say more at an
other time) and the inuisposition of the officers to act
promptly in a matter from a different county than that in
wnicntneyiive are all known facts which bear material-
ly upon the subject. If we had the alteration of the pres-
ent attachment laws we would say that where an indivi-
dual resides in a county and contracts debts there during
his residence he should not be permitted to remove his
effects from that county without the permission of his cre-
ditors with whom he had so contracted. In xhnn D i
would so change the law that an individual changing his
residence from one county to another would lay his pro-
perty liable to attachment. A material part of the consid-
eration or a reason why one man credits another is that
the man is a resident and has effects in the same county
in which they reside. The contract then is immediately
effected by tho removal of the debtor and his effects and
no adequate protection is afforded by our present laws to
the creditor. Red Lander.

The Trouble in Canton. Our readers will recoi Meet
that the first row between the Americans and Chines at
Canton was caused by umbrage being taken by "the Ce-
lestials" at an arrow having been placed on the flan-- staff
for a vane. The cause ot this indignant feeling oV the
Chinese and why they construed it into an insuk is ex-
plained in the following extract of a letter dated May 17
received at Boston. It also appears by this letter that the
The Boston Courreir says "We" find no mention in the

tion. It gives an outline of the history of the Independence

tion undterrasnfthe Treaty of Annexation. Messrs. Hous-
ton Van Buren Tyler Upsher and Calhoun are brought
forward with biographical particulars and distinctive traits.
Tribute is paid to Mr. Calhoun for his strong intelligence

it is not always desirable that our opinions in domestic

ing their earthly duties in a vain expectation that the end
is coming on a certain fixed day the certainty of which
thty alone have discovered. The Bay State Democrat
of Boston gives the following account of the proceediti"s
on the 10th instant the expected day:
Four o'clock this day The Tabernacle at this mo-
ment (12 o'clock) is crowded with men women and chil-
dren presenting a singular scene of religious infatuation.
As much as the Milleriles may have been charged with
insincerity we cannot doubt after look'ng upon the croud
now assembled in the Tabernaclp and listening to their
prayers exhortations and hallelujahs coming as they
appearto from their very souls we say we doubt their
sincerity as little as we do their inostsingular infatuation.
They have fhed upon four o'clock this afternoon for the
'Coming of Christ." The world is to end this day at
four o'clock they most firmly bflievc and they are pre-
paring thir souls and bodies for that great event and for
taking their final leave ol terra firma in thi ir great ascen-

tion with some landholders in Western Virginia are form-
ing a large company of emigrants mostly farmers and
merchants with capital enough to buy the land on which
they settle and they intend emigrating soon and to call
the settlement "New Germany." Although the lands in
Western Virginia are somewhat dearer than in the States
beyond the montains they are represented in health high-
er prices for produce and other advantagts to be very
favorable to emigrants. There appears every prospect
that from fifteen to twenty thousand Germans will-emigrate
during the next year to the United States.

A GirVs Leg Amputated johilc in a Mesmeric Stale.
Last week a girl who was affected with a swelling in
her knee had her leg taken off by a surgeon while m a
mesmeric sleep. There is no doubt about the fact. Three
surgeons were present one operated one assisted nnd
one watched the case. They all agree as to the fact but
two of them assert that she suffered pain as there were
twitchings of nerves &c. She herself is unconscious of
having suffered any pain.
