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.

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 er, and oat small plants up in tho winter— Other insects and reptiles do tho liko. From these obstacles the Ainerirnn gardener is free. His winter set in; and tho earth is safely clo sed up ngatnsl vegetation till the spring. I »m speaking of the North of Virginin, to he sure; but Ilm gardener to tho south will adapt the observations to his climato, as fur as they relate lo it. 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 py at homo and onvitd abroad.

From the New-York Courier and Enquirer. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. At day break yesterday morning our news schooner Courier and Enquirer boarded the London packet ship Hannibal, Capt. Hub bard, which sailed from Portsmouth on the 3d September. By this vessel we have received our files of London pnpers to the 2d and Portsmouth pa pers to the 3d September. 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.” The interminable question between Holland and Belgium still remains in the same state as before. It would seem however that Louis Philip has at length determined to act with inoro vigor in favor nf his now son in-law. From England there is nothing important unless it bo the increase of the cholera in Lon don. Wo extract the following on this sub ject from tho Medical Guzotte—“ The total number of burials in London with the week onding Aug. 21, wero 983, of which 274 were from cholera; an average of nearly 40 deaths a day by that disease. let.

A friend of the Constitution,Union, andLiberty. From the Charleston Courier. Wo have been favored with the following 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 our United States Bank. If they pur , liberal course the Bank of England does i Bank will as certainly be re-chartered as’,k the Bank of England will.

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 me in Meeting street—they drove at a furioia rate with the horse in a full gallop, till they got to a brick Magazine on the New Bridge road —when wo got there, the chair slopped—the other men went back, und left me with Iho man in the chuir—I thought it n good oppor- tunity, got out and made a break to run—the mon ran after mo und shouted for tho olhere, and they turned and headed me; seized me nnd struck me—they gut me to the hole in front of the Magazine, and in tho struggle, mi- pantaloons wero torn to pieces—when we got to tho hole, in Ihe front of tho Magazine, they struck mo on the back and gave me a blowoii the upper lip, the mark of which is still visi ble, and shoved mo in—und, immediately if. ter, they shoved in another man called, Davy, a Sausage maker in the Market, whom they had brought up from Wood’s, in a gig beliitd mo. They then commenced with stakes and an axe, which they had brought with them,to fasten the hole wilh a door, and after they had done so, they left us in this dark muddy vault, without a drop of water nr food, saying, there d—m you—you are safe till Wednesday We commenced to work our way out, and wilh the help of Davy’s keys, which, forlanately, they had not taken from him, and without which we might have perished there, wo picked away the bricks—by working incessantly on the en trance of the cavern, we succeeded in making our opening to creep out under the fastening which they had put before (be entrance, and got out about 8 o’clock—my hat, handker chief, and a paper of some consequence to ms wore left at Wood's.

To the Public.—Under the extraordinary ex citement at present existing, things may oc cur, and acts may be done, which the reflec tion of the judicious und well-disposed, of ei ther party, so soon as better feelings and more dispassionate views have been resumed, wilt review with the most severe and pointed in dignation. All good men therefore will look forward with anxiety to such a rectification of the public opinion. The necessity, however, very often arises of reprehending, and if possi ble of correcting on tbe instant, an outrage upon public propriety, or upon private right. An obligation of this character induces the following statement:
