.The gentleman has told us that he sometimes
condescended to enter a barber's shop —not to
hold any converse with its humble occupant, but
(jnly to receive a touch of his art, and then to
jepirt, and as if in disdain of the man who
could pursue an employment so humble. But I
can tell the gentlemen that this trade as humble
as it is, was once practiced by a mighty genius,
who invented an improvement in the machinery
of spinning cotton, which has not only laid the
foundation of some of the most magnificent for
tunes in America—which not only filled our
country with wealth, hut which, like the touch of
the enchanter’s wand, has concentrated the treas
ures of the world in the island of Great Britahi.
I mean Richard Arkwright, by the courtesy of
England, Sir Richard—a man who, by the force
of genius translated himself from a barbers
\ ship to the British Parliament, and to a place
amongst the knights of the proudest aristocracy
in the world.
The genius of those three mechanic, Brindley,
Watt, and Arkwright, upheld the sinking for
tunes of England, and placed her on that high
eminence from which she overlooks the world.
Although I may weary the gentleman from
Leicester, I must take him to another place—a
little town in the centre of England, called Strat
ford-on-Avon. There dwelt in ancient limes a
man, whose name was William Shakspeare—l
dare say the gentleman has heard of him, for he
was a mighty spirit, whose influence, like that of
heavenly bodies, is even now calling up I e tides
of human feeling. He was a man who has
[thrown the charm of his genius on the lowest
walks of life—surrounded the throne of mirth
with new delights—varied into countless varie
ties the shade and the shapes of his humor—
given a new and graceful dignity to the humblest
of the virtues—imparted a blander spirit to social
life —pervaded the very depth of the soul with
strange and wondrous powers of pathos, and im
pressed upon sublimity itself a erner and loftier
character. Yes, sir, he was a mighty enchanter,
who could call forth from the visible world a new
of scenes and beings, and could give to
these ‘ airy nothings ’ ‘ a local habitation and a
name’ —the fancies of poetry, and the breathings
of And yet this gi ed man, whose
works are familiar to Americans and Englishmen
—whose magic influence is felt wheresoever the
language of England is read or spoken—in the
far places of the world—even in its extremities
in the east and in the west; for though we could
strike the sceptre of King George from his hand
when he waved it over our regions, the throne
of Shakspeare is yet among us as immovable as
the Alleghanies. This wondrous man, whose
empire is universal, who has
‘Ruled like a wizard the world of the heart,
And called up its sunshine and brought down its
showers,’
was a wool comber!
I have in, my way endeavored to furnish the
genlLman from Leicester with my historical re
miniscences, from which I hope that he will
learn that these humble mechanics, whom he de
rides, have exercised a most powerful, direct and
decided influence upon the comforts, the happi
ness, the morals, the wealth, and the power of
man. That they have brought to the common
Block of human knowledge their full proportion
nf useful science, invention and genius—that
from their ranks have sprung warriors and states
men, poets and philosophers.
I could swell the catalogue with many more
illustrious n mes, but I have furnished the gen
tleman with enough at present. He may give
heed to my fac’.s if he pleases. He may call my
statements ‘ tinkling stuff,’ if it suits him, but I
hope he will not again undertake to deride a
;lass of men, who to say the least, are as respect
able as any other.
I am sensible, Mr. Speaker, that I have been
too discursive, and that much of my matter is
foreign to the question ; but as the gentleman
from Leicester entered upon a wide field, I
though! it would be no great violation of par
liamentary? vule to follow him.
The Bible.— We do not know where there is
|eo good a description of the Bible, in so small a
bompass, as is to be found in the article below
[from the Hartford Courier:
A nation must be truly blessed, if it were gov
erned by no other laws than those of this blessed
l%uk; it is so complete a system that nothing
«au be added to or taken from it; it contains eve
ry thing needful to be done; it affords a copy
Jfor a king and a rule for a subject; it gives in
struction and council to a senate, authority and
to a magistrate; it cautions a witness,
leqqires an impartial verdict of a jury, and fur
bishes a judge with his sentence ; it sets the hus
band as lord of the household, and the wife as
mistress of the table; tells him how to mle and
ber to manage. It entails honor to parents and
injoins obedienco upon children; it prescribes
*nd limits the sway of sovereigns, the rule of
the ruler and authority of the master; commands
the subjects to honor and the servant to obey ;
and promises the protection of its author to all
who walk by its rules. It gives directions for
weddings and for burials; it promises food and
raiment, and limits the use of both ; it points out
a faithful and eternal guardian to the departing
husband and father; tells him with whom to
leave his fatherless children and in whom his
widow is to trust, and promises a father to the
former and a husband to the latter. It teaches a
man how he ought to set his house in order, and
ihow to make his will; it appoints a dowry for
the wife, and entails the right of the first-born ;
and shows how the younger branches shall be
left. It defends the right of all and reveals ven
geance to the defrauder, overreicher and oppres
sor. It is the first book and the oldest book in
the world. It contains the choicest matter, gives
the best instruction, and affords the greatest
pleasure and satisfaction that ever were revealed.
It contains the best laws and profoundest myste
ries that ever were penned It brings the best
tidings, and affords the best of comforts to the
inquiring and disconsolate. It exhibits life and
immorality, and shows the way to everlasting
glory. It is a brief recital of all that is to come.
It settles all matters in debate, resolves all doubts,
and eases the mind and conscience of all their
scruples. It reveals the only living and true
God, and shows the way to Him ; and sets aside
ail other gods, and describes the vanity of them,
and of all that put their trust on them.
Picture of Ixtemperaxck.—Next come the
ravages of this all-destroying vice on the health
of its victims. You see them resolved, as it were,
to anticipate the corruption of their natures.
They cannot wait to get sick and die. They
*hink the worm is slow in his approach, and slug
gish at his work. They wish to reconvert the
dust, before their hour comes, into its primitive
deformity and pollution. My friend, who spoke
before me, (Dr. Pierson,) called it a partial death.
I would rather call it a double death, by which
’hey drag about them above the grave, a mass of
deceased, decaying!, aching clay. They will not
only commit suicide, but do it in such away as to
be the witnesses and conscious victims of the
cruel process of self-murder; doing it by degrees,
bv inches, quenching the sight, benumbing the
brain, laying down the arm of industry to be cut
off; and changing a fair, healthy robust frame,
for a shrinking, suffering, living corpse, with no
thing of vitality but the power of suffering, and
with everything of death but its peace.
Then follows the wreck of property, —the
great object of human pursuit; the temporal
r 'Jin, which comes, like an avenging angel, to
Waste the substance of intemperance; which
crosses their threshold, commissioned, as it were
to plague them with all the horrors of a ruined
fortune and blasted prospect; and passes before
their astonished sight, in the dread array of as
fairs perplexed, debts accumulated, substance
squandered, honor tainted, wife, children cast out
upon the mercy of the world; —and he who
1 should have been their guardian and protector,
dependent for his unearned daily bread on those
to whom he is a burden and a curse.
Bad as all this is, much as it is, it is neither
the greatest nor the worst part of the aggrava
tions of the crime of intemperance. It produ
ces, consequences of still more awful moment.
It first exasperatzs the passions, and then takes
oil from them the restraints of the reason and
will; maddens and then unchains the tiger, ra
vening for blood; tramples all the intellectual
and moral man under the feet of the stimulated
clay ; lays the understanding, the kind affections,
and tne conscience, in the same grave with pros
perity and health ; and having killed the body,
kills the soul! —Everett
\ ankee Pedlar.—A clever trick was played
by a \ ankee pedlar upon one of the captains of
the steamboats running from New York to Alba
ny, on the Hudson river. The Yankee was fully
aware of the custom of putting people on shore
who attempted to gain a passage for nothing, and
his destina’ion was to a place called Pougnkeep
■ie, about halfway between New York and Al
bany. He therefore waited very quietly until he
was within a mile or two of Poughkeepsie, and
then went up to the captain. “Well, Captain, I
like to do things on the square, that’s a fact; I
might have said nothing to you, and run up all the
way to Albany—and to Albany I must go on
particular business—that’s a fact; but I thought
it more honorable like to tell you at once, I haven’t
got a cent in my pocket;-1 have been unfortunate;
but by the ’tarnal, I’ll pay you my passage money
as soon as I get it. \ou see I tell you now, that
you mayn’t say I cheat you; for pay you I will,
as soon as I can, that's a fact.” The Captain,
indignant, as usual, at being tricked, called him
certain names, swore a small quantity, and as
soon as he arrived at Poughkeepsie, as a punish
ment, put him ashore at the very place the keen
Yankee wished to be landed.
Torture—Perhaps there is nothing which more
strikingly illustrates the advancement which Chris
tian nations have made in knowledge, and in the
principles of government and of justice, than the
abolition of the various kinds of toiture, which
were wont to be inflicted on the various criminals.
The description of the dreadful and prolonged tor
tures, which human nature was doomed to suffer,
as a punishment for guilt, or as an inducement to
confess, in the absence of positive proof, is enough
to thrill one’s bosom with horror. The following
is a description of some of the different kinds of
torture formerly employed in the Tower of Lon
don. Be it recollected, they were not kept there
for show, but were olten in use :
“1. The Rack was a large open frame of oak,
raised three feet from the ground. The prisoner
was laid under it, on his back, on the floor ; his
wrists and ankles were attached by cords to two
rollers at the ends of the frame ; these were mov
ed by levers in opposite directions till the body
ose to a level with the frame. Questions were
then put, and if the answers did not prove satis
factory, the sulfeier was stretched more and more
t il the bones started from their sockets.
“2. The Scavenger's Daughter was a broad hoop
of iron, so called, consisting of two parts, fastened
to each other by a bilge. The prisoner was maua
to kneel on the pavement, and contract himself
into as small a compass as he could. Then the
executioner, kneeling on his shoulders, and having
introduced the hoop under his legs, compressed the
victim close together, till he was able to fasten the
extremities over the small of the back. The time
allotted to this kind of torture was an hour and a
half, during which time it commonly happened that
from excess of compression the blood started from
the nostrils ; sometimes, it was believed, from the ‘
extremities of the hands and feet.
“3. Iron Gauntlets, which could be contracted
by the aid of a screw. They served to compress
the wrists, and to suspend the prisoner in the air, 1
from two distant points of a beam. He was placed 1
on three pieces of wood, piled one upon the other, I
which, when hiss hands had been made fast, were '
successively withdrawn from under his feet. ‘I
> felt,’ says F. Gerard, one of the sufferers, “the
■ chief pain in my breast, belly, arms and hands.— ;
I thought that all the blood in my body had run
into my arms, and began to burst out at my finger
ends. This was a mi-take ; but the arms swelled
till the gauntlets were buried within the flesh. — (
After being thus suspended an hour, I fainted; ,
and when 1 came to myself, I found the execution
ers supporting me in their arms -, they replaced
the pieces of wood under my feet, but as soon as I
was recovered, removed them again. Thus I con
tinued hanging for the space of five hours, during
which I fainted fight or nl:e times.’
“4. A fourth kind of toiture was a cell called
‘Little case.’ It was of small dimensions, and so
constructed that the prisoner could neither stand,
walk, sit, nor lie in it at full length. He was
compelled to draw himself up into a squatting
posture, and so remained for several days.”
1 The honible punishment of flaying alive was
1 sometimes practised in those dark ages, as appears
-by the following extract from Goldsmith’s History
of England : “in the reign of Edward 111. king of
England, Lewis Hunten, the successor to the
crown of France, caused his wife to be strangled,
and her lovers to be flayed alive.”
But the days of the Inquisition, and of auto da
fes, have gone by—and with one exception, instru
ments of torture are preserved merely as relics of
a former and more barbarous age—as mementos of
the past. The lash, however, is still applied to the
punishment of human beings ! This instrument,
as used in Great Britain, probably produces a more
prolonged and horrible pain than any other diaboli
cal instrument invented by the cruelty of man. —
Philanthropists should exert themselves to bring
about a better state of things. Let the lash, the
halter, and the guillotine be numbered among the
things which once existed —or, like the rack, be
treasured only as evidence of the inhumanity of
man in the first half of the nineteenth century. —

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon, May 30, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from SoutlFCarolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Ma»y was old PacoleL Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie ; grand-dam Sally' Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-graud
dara O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dara by' the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony' out of a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace bey-ond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
