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 obtain a sufficient ipsightliino the other branches to be competent to take charge of an establishment.

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.
