process is as follows:—Fresh milk is to be slowly
evaporated over a moderate fire, until thero re
mains only a dry powder; this last is to bo put in
a bottle, which is to be closely corked; when to be
required for use, it is sufficient to dissolve

Pearl Fisheries.—The Pearl Fisheries of Cey
lon are among the most noted. The most skil

of se ven minutes. According to the testimony of
Mr. Le Beck, this feat wa3 also performed by a
Caffre boy' at Carical. The following is the usu
al mode of diving for pearls:
By means of two cords, a diving-stone and a
net arc connected with the boat. The diver put
ting the toes of his right foot on the cair rope of
the diving-chords with one baud, and shutting his
nostrils with tho other, plunges into tho water.
On gaining the bottom he hangs the net around
his neck and throw's into it as many pearl shells
as he can collect while he is able to remain be
neath the surface, which is generally about two
minutes. He then resumes his former posture,
and making- a signalby pulling the cords, he is in
stantly hauled into the boat. On emerging from
the sea he discharges a quantity of water from
his mouth and nose. There are generally ten
divers to each boat, and while five are respiring
the otherfive descend with the samostones. Each
brings up about one hundred oysters in his net at a
time, and if not interrupted by any accident will
make fifty trips in the course ofa forenoon. The

The Halifax Noya Scotian of Aug. 22, contains
the following paragraphs:
Extract ofa letter dated Windsor, Aug. 13.—
“Wo had a smart shock of an earthquake here on
Sunday morning, at about quarter before five.
It appears to have been very sensibly folt at the
College, Academy, aud the neighborhood of Spa
Spriug. I understand at the former place itcrack-
cd some of the plaistering. It was early that few
people iu the village' felt it, although a few were
wakened by it. By some, it is said, that it waa
not accompanied by any nubbliug noise, and by
others that it was; but all concur in saying that it
occasioned a strong tremulous motion. Tho A-
cademy was rocked rather alarmingly, and a cot
tage not far off, was moved in a manner that made
the timbers creak, and to suggest the idea of a
ship in motion. I cannot ascertain its direction,
but should think it was north and south. Did you
feel it at Halifax? I am sorry to say that I was so
fast asleep that i missed it, as I did iu 1817.
Extract of a letter from Brier Island dated Au
gust 19:—On Sunday morning last, about half
past seven, wo had a very heavy shock of an
Earthquake. It lasted the best part of a minute,
and was so violent that I could not stand still on
1U7 foet in the bedroom, but had to seize the hed-
f ost for support. Many rocks on the cliffs of the
sland were ohaken down.
Liverpool, (N. S) Aug. 16lh.—On Sunday
morning last, about 7 o’clock, tho 12th iost. many
of our inhabitants felt a slight shock of an earth
quake. I have sincobejn informed that it was se
verely felt at Shelburne, shaking down the plais
tering in some of thoir buildings.
As this is the last issue that will be made
from our hebdomedal before the election, we feel
it our duty, as unworthy laborers in the vineyard
of the people, to iwge upon them a last solemn
admonition as respects the crisis nosv before us.
It behoves them to pause upon the “brink the ve
ry verge of liberty” and breast themselves to the
shock. If they wish a redress of their grievances;
and at the same time the perpetuity of their ex
cellent institutional now is the time by a firm re
solution and decisive action, to express and enforce
their will. They must not be deceived by the
sophistry of tho learned, tho clamor of tho un
learned, the flattery of the cunning, nor by the
pretensions of the demagogue, into a course of

measures at war wilh the dictates of commou
sense, and tho suggestions of their better judg
ment ; nor sanction expedients contrary to the
teachings of experience and subversive of tho
principles of our government. If the liberty our
fathers fought for is worth preserving;, if the go
vernment they established is worth supporting,
theu come boldly to the arena, march up to the
ballot box, and battle for these blessings with the
sword of argument, and the panoply of right.
Beware of false doctrines, strange inventions and
new lights. Stick to tho Constitution as bur
wise patriarchs loft it, and eschew the new read
ings of modern evangelists. That corruptions
have crept into the government, we will no more
deny, than that tho rust has crept into your cot
ton fields- The evil we can see, but where is the
remedy ? Will you set fife to your cotton ? That
would kill the rust, it is clear—but will it not also
destroy the balance of your crop? So with re
spect to tho government. You may nullify its
laws if you thiuk proper; but will that kill the
Tariff without destroying tho government?
As the humble advocate of the princ iples of the
Clark party, wo conjure it to bo united, be firm,
be vigilant. Forget all your prejudice; and jeal
ousies, and stand by each other for the defence
of your principles. Your cause is in danger.
Disunion in the ranks of tho Union-party, will en
sure the triumph of nullification. A party that is
distinguished by its love for the Union, should
have unanimity enough to stick together and sup
port their wholo ticket. Personal objections
should he buried for tho good of tho party. If
you thiuk the principles of your party are the cor
rect principles of state policy; and that the suc
cess of your party would be for the benefit of the
State, it iB your duty to support your party, let
your objections to individuals be what they may.
Though you may have objections to the private
character of a candidate; though you may be a-
ware of his want of education, and want of ta
lents ; still if you have confidence in his political
views, if you agroe with him in most of his politi
cal opinions, you are bound to support him in
preference to a better man, whose principles you
think unsound. In selecting a Representative to
Congress dr.the Legislature, to urge and defend
our rights against the prejudices, interests, jea
lousies, rivalries, envy, cunning, knavery, over
reaching, &c. of those ho will have to contend
with, it is not meroly tho heart, but the head we
must look at. Without a sound and strong bead
what sort of a figure would a representative ms*kc
with ever so much piety, honesty, or charity. To
be capable of advocating our rights to any
advantage a representative must be clear in his
views, 6ound in his principles, strong in his judg
ment, and firm in his resolution.
of adjustment, and gave every promise of a spee
dy settlement, under the energetic measures of
Lumpkin, seconded by the co-operations of New-
nan at tho seat of government. Hence the wil
lingness, not to say the anxiety of some, to post
pone the discussion of this question; and during
the whole of the last long and disgraceful session,
we hear little about our Cherokee affairs, from
any of tho Troup delegation in Congress!
To keep this absorbing question, which has
been .a favorite measure with the Clark party,
out of sight, has been tho object of our oppo
nents. Hence the clamor that 13 made about the
Tariff. Though the Tariff has been considerably
modified, and every prospect appears of its being
still more so, vet it is said, the new Tariff is more
oppressive than the old; and tout it it is not in
stantly repealed, we should proceed at onee to
Nullification and civil war!! That they were
not sincere in their obtestations of the Tariff, we
have had more than one reason for believing.
Not the smallest of which is the ease with which
tbey can bring their consciences to support that
arch Tariffite, Martin Van Bureri.
Were the Troup party as bent upon resistance
to the Tariff as they pretend to be, would they
uphold Wayne who voted for it? Vet v»e hear
them urge no objections to him on that ground.
On the contrary, he 13 recommended to the confi
dence of hU party! and the whole party are com
manded to vole for him, rather than make a split
in their ranks! For fear that some would be
weak enough to go against him on this ground,
wa see the leaders calling \ eon their trusty fol
lowers; to stick together, to support the entire
Troup' ticket. Though the candidates differ in
opinion, they agree in policy. The proscription
flag is again hoisted—the talisman of Troup and
the Treaty, like the breeches of Mahomet, is a-
gain displayed. An “Old Trouper” simultane
ously iu MiHedgeville and Macon, hoists 1I13 party
flag of 1825, and calls upon tho wholo party to
rally in support of their ticket, no matter what
are the opinions of the men!
Now we would ask, what is the policy of the
Clark parly ? ‘ Shall we suffer snuff to be thrown
iu our eyes and be bamboozled by our opponents
in this manner? Wo that have hitherto been so
united without a leader, or rallying point, now that
we have both, with every prospect of entire suc
cess, shall we like youug bees, suffer the frying-
pan clamor of our enemies to deceive and entrap
us? Shall we split amongst ourselves, and go
over to the enemy ? Shall we like puppies in a
hornet’s nest, bite each other instead of the foe?
What shall we gain by sacrificing Newnan aud
taking up Wayne and Hayne3?
If we discard Newnan, vie weaken the hands
of our Governor, embarrass his administration;
and probably defeat the success of those very
measures on which the final settlement of the
Cherokee question depends. What other Repre
sentative have we in Congress? What other
auxiliary has Lumpkin there? Can Wayne re
present the Clark party? V.'Eat feeling has he
in common wilh Clark men?
' Iu all probability, if we leave off Newnan from
our ticket, we ensure the defeat of the whole. We
have already lest one of our number by death:
shall ve lose another by our folly? The pro
scription of Newnan, like the ostracism of Aris
tides will'be revisited upon the heads cf his per
secutors. There will be a reaction in pubhe opi
nion, aud let those who are fanning this excite
ment be aware of it.

tional remedy, against the oppression of the said :o 5
act. In this state of things, and rather than em
barrass or enter into conflicts with my old frfeuds,
I felt disposed to retire and not bo a candidate;
this feeling w as made known to Gen. Coffee, Col.
Terrell, Gen. Watson, Judge Schley, Dr. Fort,
Governor Lumpkin, and, I believe, the junior ed
itor of the federal Union. All those gentlemen,
I believe, with soarcoly an exception, advised mo
not to retire, as it might occasion the defeat of tho
whole Clark ticket. When I was in Miiledge-
ville, two weeks ago, I was invited by one o? the
editors of the Federal Union, to ca!l a"t bis office,
and it was intimated to nw by a friend, that if I
would do so, mutters might be so accommodated
as to make mo run more smoothly on the Clark
ticket.
After the course this paper had pursued to
wards uie, by coudemniug my vote upon the ta
riff, and denouncing mo indirectly, if not directly,
as a disunionist, I could not reconcile it to my
toolings, to wait on its editors aud endeavor to
propitiato their feelings, by modifying iny opin
ions. Atter I left MiHedgeville, it seems, that the
editors of this paper were told by some one, that
I had “uttered unmeasured denunciations of their
press and themselves, and many of the leading
men of their party; and that the Federal Union
was a paper inimical to tho interest of the South.”
lo many gentlemen who called ou me in mv
room, at Mr. Buffington’s, I did express a belief,
