.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. — Boston Journal.

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.

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!— If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent*, leb 22—trwswtr 1 PUBLIC SALES.
