To Apprentices.—The only wav fora young
man to prepare himself for usefulness, is to
devote himself to study during till his leisure
hours. First lie industrious in your business;
never compluin that you nro obliged to work ;
go to it with alnrrtlv and cheerfulness, nnd it
wjll become a hnbil which will mako you res
pected and beloved by your employer; make
it your business to see to and promote Ins in-
. terests; by taking care of his you will learn
to take care of your own. Young men nt the
present day are too fond of getting rid of work;
they seek for easy and lazy employments, and
frequently lorn out to be poor, miserable vag
abonds. You must avoid all wishes to live
without labor. Labor is a blessing rut >er
than a curse; it makes men healthy, nnd pro
cures them fond, clothing, nnd every other ne
cessary, and frees them frum temptations to be
dishonest.

hurried beyond the resell of iho influence of'
ulinospliern. Even early peas would be best
sown in the fall, could you have an insurance
amsl mice. We all know, what n hustle
there is to get in early peas. If they wore
sown in the full, they would start up the mo
muni Ihe frost wus out of tho ground, und
would be ten d.tvs earlier in bearing, in spite
of overy effort madobytlie spring growers, to
make (heir pens overtnko them. Upon it spot,
wliero l saved peas for soed, last vear, some
lhat was left, in a lock of haulm, ai the har
vesting, und llmt lay upon the dry ground, till
the land wus ploughed lute in November,
cumo up in the spring, the moment the frost
was out of ilm ground, and (hey were in bloom
full fifteen days earlier than those sown in the
same field as.curly us possible in the spring,
Doubtless, they would havo borno peas fiftoen
days sooner ; but taero were but n very few
of them, and those standing straggling about ;
nnd I was obliged to plough up the ground
where they were growing. In somo cusc.s it
would l»o a good way, lo cover tho sown
ground with tiller, or with lonves of trees, us
soon us Iho frost lias fairly set in ; but not
before ; for, if you do it before, the seed may
vegetate, and then may bu hilled by the frost.
One object of this fall sowing is, to get the
work done ready for spring; for, at that sea
son, you havo so many things to do at once !
Besides you cannot sow the instant lh« frost
breaks up; for Ihe ground is wet and clammy,
unfit to do dug, or touched, nr trodden upon.
So that there are ten days lost. Hot, the sued
which lias lain in ihe grouinl all tho winter, is
ready to start the moment the earth is clear of
the winter frost, and it is up by tho time you
cu:i got other seed into tho ground in n good
slate. Fall sowing of seeds lo come up in the
spring is not practised in England, though
ihey a'ro always desirous to get their things
early. The reason is, the uncertainly of their
winter, which passes, sninutniies, with hardly
any I'rust nt u'l; and which, nt other times, is
severe enough to freeze the Thames over. It
is sometimes mild till February, and then se
vere. Sometimes it begins with severity ond
ends with mildness, So that, nine times out
of ten, llieir seed would come up und tho plnnts
would be destroyed before spring. Besides
they havo slugs that come out in mild weath

tVelding Iron and Steel —As iron and steel
are compounded more or less with sulpher,
copper, and nrsenick, which, if they predom
inate loo much, will prevent their being weld
ed sound, it may be of somo imporiauce to
blacksmiths to know what remedy In apply in
such rases. When iron is compounded with
sulpher, it is apt to burn before a welding
beat enn be raised. In this enso a little un-
slaekcd stone limo pounded up vory lino to bo
used instead of sand. Lime will absorb the
■ulpbcrnnd enable the smith to weld it sound.
I ("but a small quantity of copper enters into the
composition of iron, it will render it brittle
when hot, nnd tough whon cold. In this case
salt, or sal nnioniuc, should bu used wilh the
siuid, which will cvaporaio tho coppor and
prevent the iron from breaking when it is very
hot. Arsenic generally predominates in iron
that is very brittle when cold. A small quan
tity of saltpetre should thon be used wilh Iho
sand for welding. Iron or steel lhat is entirely
free from either of those pernicious substances
will work sound, weld with ease, and bo very
tough when cold. This is what is called good
iron. The same may ho said of steql,
A fault too ofien found with blacksmiths,
is, lhat their work is not sound, when in filet
the fault is in the iron they work. A little at
tention to ascertain the qualities of iron, and
to apply tho proper remedies, will enable them
to muke their work sound, or, at least, as good
aa the quality of tho iron will admit. In
welding too iron and steel together for edge
tools it will bo of service, (at least it can da no
harm even if the iron and steel bo ever so
gaud,) to have a IttUo lime, aalt, and saltpetre

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
At day break yesterday morning our news
schooner Courier and Enquirer boarded the

September.
By this vessel we have received our files of
London pnpers to the 2d and Portsmouth pa

The affairs of Don Pedro in Portugal ap
pear l# remain much in the same situation as
at the (Into of our last ndvines, but the London
papers state that a feeling of confidence in his
ultimate success appears to increase among
his supporters in England. Tho general
opinion seems to be, that there will be no im
mediate collision between tho two armies, that
tho position of Oporto is sufficiently strong to
resist all the attacks of Don Miguel,and that as
long us the communication with that place
cun be kept open by sea, ho will retain secure
possession of it—meantime, reinforcements
ure hastening lo him from differon*. quarters,
whilst his long possession of tho second city
in the kingdom, may be expected lo exercise
u moral influence over the general population
of the country, highly favorable to his cause.
Tho most interesting news from the con
tinent is that relating to Poland. If thnt
ran be called interesting which nwnkens the
most painful sensations. “ Grave,” says the
London Morning Herald,” as have been the
misfortunes, and great the sufferings of thata
heroin people—whose onlv crime is their loss
of liberty, under their savage conqueror, they
seemed to want but this last stroke, now no
longer doubtful, to drive them to the very verge
nf human endurance. In the extracts from
tho Brunsxcick German Journal, to be found
in nnother column, will bo seen such details
as make the heart sick —of the execution of
the barbarous decree of the Murenvite tyrant
against the Polish children, who nro torn from
thoir mothers and friends nnd carried nwav in
waggon-loads, not only from tho Polish prov
inces, hut from Warsaw itself, to be incorpora
ted with tho Russian hordes who garrison the
military colonies. This barbarous mode of
attempting the extinction of the Polish nation,
by dragging nway tho children into tho Rus
sian deserts, was previously known in this
country in n general way, and excited the hor
ror which civilized people would naturally feel
on the bare mention of such an atrocious pre
ceding. But there were those who wished to
make it b Sieved that such accounts of the tyr
ant’s dessolating revenge were either feigned
or exaggerated. It is therefore necessary, for
the purposn of putting at rest all doubt upon
Ihe subject, to publish Ihe official orders, as
given in the Brunswick paper alluded to.—
These orders, it appears, are acted upon with
the most rigid and inhuman exactness; but
we leave tho disgusting details to speak for
themselves.”

Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city,
daied London, August 22d.
Dear Sir,—In England, things are in an ad
mirable condition, they were never belter—
money is worth 2; per cont. per annum only.
In London, the harvests are the most abun
dant ever known, and tho world at peace,
without a probability of being otherwise soon.
The domestic and political state of England
is quiet; nny thing that you may hear to Ihe
contrary notwithstanding. The borough elec
tions for Parliament, about which you mnv see
Borne noiso made, have about as much to do
with the general affairs of the country ns our
olection for a City Marshal or Clerk of the
Market has. Tho only thing wanted to com
plete the condition of tho country, is, nn outlet
for their Manufactures. Of that, there is not
a comnlaint from the Manufacturers at pres
ent, and they nre not backward in making a
nnice when hurt. You will see marvelous
had accounts of the state and condition of the
Bank of England, which go, as they say, to
endanger its re-charter. The Stock has fal
len from /203 to /182, nnd is declining ; it is
the facts brought fourth by Ihe Committee of
Investigation lhat has occasioned the decline.
The reformers make the most of it too, as the
Bank administers lo the extravagance, they
say, 'of Government. The farts elicited,
amount only to this, that instead of having
surplus of <5,000,000, as nt the last exhibit,
some 15 years ago, after paying annual (livid
ends, they now only have about half that
amount.
The affairs of the Bank having been always
kept secret, John Bull had taken up the idea,
that the surplus was great. The Bank made
its losses in resuming cash payments in 1828
and 3 ; besides <350,000, by Fauntleroy &
Co.
The idea that will go abroad in America,
will be. that the Bank will be reatrictcd in its
operations and money become scarce ; just
the reverse will bo the fact.
I was fortunate in having an acquaintance,
1 might say o friend, in favour at Court, whose
advise on this subject is first rate. I am in
formed from the same source, that the Bank
will discount more liberally than ever, and at
an interest lo suit the state of the times; it
will be reduced from 5 to 4 per cent, immedi
ately—policy and interest both require the
Bank to do more for the people and the
for the government. John Bull is a sen.ul
old fellow ih money matters. I wish ftr i *
Jonathan would show half the wisdom OI " !t

Whon we got there, the people „
tho House raised u groat noise ; they ran their
hands in my pockets, took away my keys, pen
knife and $1 81 1-4 cts. in money, and ’sho
ved me into a room, where about 20 men ver«
confined—I shouted aloud to give information
to any of our party lhat might hear me, that f
was there : when l did so, the men in the yard
thrust at me through the bars, which are let
into the front of Ihe room. I tried to pup
the chimney, but was forcibly dragged back
by the feet by ono Gitsingcr and others. Find,
ing I could not gel away, I lay down, intend,
ingto wait till the men in tho yard went to
sloep, and then try to muke my escape. About
1 o’clock this morning, n party of men came
into the room and laid hold of me, lied my
hands behind my back, took mo nut and pot
me in a chair—one man sat beside me—two
men set behind the chair, and two men rode,
one on each side, on horseback, and they
drove off with me. 1 do not know nny of
theso men by name, but I know their facet.
Some of them wero the samo who had seized

a Sausage maker in the Market, whom they
had brought up from Wood’s, in a gig beliitd
