hours in the day.—Many enter them, before
they have learned to read or write, and their
labor is so constant that they ever afterwards
remain in ignorance; and those who are so
fortunate as to learn to read or write their
names previous to their apprenticeship, sel
dom make any considerable progress in after
life. They almost all of course, early slide
into the vices and contract the loose habits
and principles of their older workshop com
panions; and while they become expert in
their trade, also become adepts in all kinds
of knavery and villainy,
Males and females, of which the number
seems about equal, work in the shops, glow
ing at the same benches, “ arid perspiring at
the same forges. I have seen group of
the sexes assemble round a forge, making
nails. Females file gun barrels, and manu
facture screws; and indeed almost all kinds
of hardwares are the joint productions of
male and female hands. What a figure,
think you, must a young girl make with her
sleeves rolled up above hpr elbows, labour
ing with a file that will weigh two pounds!
The evil! tendency of such employments, and
the indecent familiarity which arises from the
promiscuous assemblage and employment
Uf the sexes in the same rooms, without
any check upon their conduct, are evident
to the slightest observation; and the effects
are as certain as the fixed laws of nature.
The women become men in the female
costume, and lose all that delicacy of feel
ing and softness of manners which belong
to the sex, and which our countrywomen,
even in the humbler stations of life, and
which the other classes of British females
so eminently possess. But what is infinite
ly worse, they lose all virtue and shame.
Standing in gome of the populous streets
here (Birmingham) at I o’clock, I have no
ticed the motley group which issue from the
courts and alleys at that time to get their
dinners. One glance tells me how extreme
is their degradation. Women push along
the streets with bosoms half bare, and hands
and faces besmeared with grease, iron filings
or japan. Some favorite, beau equally
squallid and coarse, meets a lass perhaps,
and a disgustingly rude ‘ salutation takes
place. Occasionally a couple of girls will
square off in a boxing attitude, and shetv
fight in the true style of the game. I have
witnessed blows given and received in this
way which would not be very pleasant to
any one to bear. I have seen some right
down battles fought by these female com
batants, in which bonnets, caps and gowns
flew into strings like canvass before a tem
pest. Educated, as I have been, in the
strict school of Connecticut, and accustom
ed to look upon females as beings of re
finement and virtue, to whom the highest
deference aud respect were due, you may
well suppose that I at first looked upon these
screw-making specimens of the sex, with
ineffable disgust. Custom has now render
ed the spectacle familiar. As the natural
effect of this state of things you will not
need be told, that the populous manufac
turing towns are thronged with a class of
adult females wbioh I - cannot name. One
half at least of adult females that work in
shops, I have no dbubt are creatures of this
revolting character. * r
Few of the workmen can ever become
master manufacturers. They are taught
but one branch of an art: and through their
ignorance and stupidity. *^trejMr\^|able to

gers as ^perhaps, Were never experieB^j
any other individual.” The "letter
which this is an extract with various others
from Dr. Richardson and Drummond, will
be published in the forthcoming of-Dr
Brewster’s Journal of Science.
The following scientific notice, whfich
may interest a considerable portion of , our
readers, has been just received from the
American Consul at Paris—“ Academy of
Sciences, Sitting of Monday December 11,
1826.—“ An apparatus to examine the in
terior of the bladder—M. Seglas read a no
tice on/a method of Lightning the urethra
and blafider, so as to see into the interior of
these/organs. The plan is as remarkable
for its simplicity as for its results. It con
sists in two candles, two looking glasses,
and some cylindrical tubes, and constitutes
a species of optical instrument to which M.
Seglas has given the name of Speculum
Trethro-Cystic. This physician, to illus
trate the idea of the quantity of light thus
thrown into the bladder and.urethra, asserts
that with the aid of his instrument he has
read in the darkest spot, at fifteen inches
distance, the finest printed characters, thos*e
of the classics in minature, for example.
In fact after the session, M. Seglas demon
strated this circumstance to many members
of the Academy in the Library of the Insti
tute.
The Speculum Urethro-Cystic will afford
useful information not only on the state pf
the mucous membrane of the bladder and
urethra, but likewise upon the foreign bo
dies which are found there, particularly stone.
As the author remarks, it is likewise suscep
tible by slight modification of being applied
to other parts, heretofore inaccessible to
sight, as the deep regions of the rectum, of
the pharynx, and of the nasal cavities.”
■ The Grave of Jefferson—“ I ascended the-
wmding road, which leads from Charlottes
ville to Monticello. The path leads a cir-
cuitous ascent of about two miles up tha
miniature mountain, to, the farin and the
grave of Jefferson. On entering tlje gate
which opens into the enclosure, numerous
paths diverge in various directions, winding
through beautiful groves to the summit of
the hill. From the peak on ..which the
house stands, a grand and nearly unlinajfttf f
view opens to the thickly wooded hills id
fertile vallies, which stretch out on either
side. The University, with its dome*
tieos and colonnade, looks like a fair cii
