It is useless to enumerate the various Chapels which
oorupy the interior portions of the building, but we di
nt your attention to that of Henry the Seventh, hy
nr th*‘ most gorgeous in construction of any. This
Chapel is adorned without with sixteen Gothic towers,
ornamented with admirable taste. The inner part al
most detiea the powers of description, such is the rich
tmery of the windows, the lofty ceiling which is in
Ru ne, the tasselnted pavement, the overhanging pen
cants and the entire splendor of the scene. You enter
by a gate of brass into this royal tomb, which is beauti
f: v wrought with various flowers, and is of curious
workmanship. All that can trace their descent from the
mcient kings are only interred by law here, none others
e rutted but spectators. The tomb of Mary, Queen
Dt Souls, though somewhat mutilated, is ol magnifficent
naterial. King Charles 11, William 111, and Mary,
Anne and Prince George, are placed at the end
D! the royal vault. II *my VII, and Elizabeth hiscon
ort. “the last of the house of York” are surrounded by
i brass frame work, which is probably unequalled hy anv
n the world for strength, and beauty. Tombs of
laii.vsl.tnd Anne his Qi-en, ElizaVih, also an oltar
H onwHid v and bioliier who wcie destroyed at uie
fewer by suffocation, are pomieu out by tlie guide in
The coronation chairs are to be seen in the Chapel
I St. Edward, and are worthy of observation, being
tcs of ancieut date. They are of rude and com
lon material, but at coronations are richly dee
med with golden tissue, and othert rapping* of
oval right. Under the seat of otie of them, is a
ingiilarly shaped stone, said to be Jacob’s pil
dw, though we must confess we hove doubts as to its ;
enuiness. St. Erasmus’ and Islip Chapels are also i
laces that should hy all means be visited by strangers.
\'t were much pained to observe that many of the
Barbie, and bronze statues upon the walls, and naves
,!• sadly defaced,and in fact difficult to be recognised,

Wesniinster Ab ey is always the spot of attraction
I ru- sojourner >ll London, and unlike other places that
istHiuif a want ot interest from constant visitation, it i
wr d-lights the mind,.and improves the taste. You ‘
t it with a smile of joy, and leave unwillingly with |
isigh ot fond regret. May it be our pleasure to re- ;
im t:n‘se hallowed scenes again, and revive associa
te so pleasantly formed, but should our destiny be
•h- rwise, we shall yield only w ith unrealized hopes.
Justiy has some author remarked, perhaps there is
so calculated to awaken impressive and prof
abiereflections, and so pregnant with interest as the
” r ot London, assuming at various periods, the
ensures of the palace, the clashing arms of a fortress,
nd the horrors of a prison house. Associated with the
tini-8 ot Llizabeth, Lady Jane Grey, Anne Boleyn and

A wuter in the Boeioii Recorder, who lisa lately
travelled through Connecticut, thus describes the wa'.
pi which the people gain a livelihood:
Beginning in the norih-wrstem part ufthestate
wln-re hy the way some of nature's ttue noblemet
dwell, we find many turnnee* smelting down iron ore o
. treat quality, from their own mines, making each
rom two to three tons oi’ pig iron per diem and each
consuming nt a single blasi ol eleven months a million
bushels ol charcoal. There is a shop manufacturing
some ot the best cutlery ; and another making huge an
chorsaud chain cables for our navy,from iron wrought
••t their puddling furnace.”
‘'Fifteen miles eastward, lies a village of 1500 people
situated, at the outlet ol a splendid sheet of water
w Inch in its descent ot ISO feet,carries aft needed ma
chinery. Here the business is scythe-making. Anoth
er town is jus for its brass kettles, an article made
nowhere else in the nation, and the tinde of making
which,it issaid, was stolen from England. Hard by,
are two contiguous towns, made densely populous, even
on the rugged lull side , end independently rich hy the
manufacture of brass clocks—These articles of the ordi
nary kind, costing from nine shilling to tw o dollars, are
sold over the world, at an advance of 500 or 1100 per
cent.
“Coming farther eastward into Hartford country, you
find a gang ofhands digging copper ore from the bow
els of mother earth. Then you enter a town of 1000
people supported entirely hy making axes. Following
the Farmington river, and posting many establishments
you alight at a town of 1500 inhabitants, right in the
gorge, where the river in its dashing freaks, like a lover
without eyes, instead ofmakingits way easily and hon-
estly down to New Haven, breaks its way through the
Talcott mountain for the purpose of making a union
with the Connecticut. These people are Scotchmen
making carpets. Hut this is only a part of the establish
ment ; the remainder is located 10 or 15 miles north
east, w here is found a community of 1800, from the same
country, and engaged in like business- Observe here,
in these two towns, are three very old fashioned Presby
terian churches. Passing by a community of Shakers*
who supply the land with garden seeds and brooms;
and Hazard's well known pow’der mills, where the “vil
lainous saltpetre” is made into an abomination to cast
missiles at the Mexicans and also some distilleries, too
detestnbl#* to h'<t paper with, you enter a growing town
wUcieuie made paper, cloth oi different kinds, iron ware,
und card teeth ; the last set to order, aim m quantities
sufficient to straighten all the fibre w’hich ever grew on
sheep’s back or a cotton plantation.
“Passing through the city of Hartford which our bird’s
eye view seems only to make a mart for trafficking in
the workmanship of other and honest hands, you find a
town of 300 inhabitants, manufacturing various sorts of
bras wore; to mention w hich kinds would be to write half
the names of the articles of a hard-ware shop. Hooks
und eyes must be particularized, enough to hook togeth
er all the ladies’ dressess in the land beside those of one
half of Queen Vic oiia’s subjects.
Hut to return over the Connecticut river, for in our rapid
flight we have already crossed it twice, and in making
our way into Tolland county, we enter the region of cot
ton and woolen. And here, at the outlet of a beautiful
lake, rendered memorable by the “Life of poor Sarah/
who died on its banks, you must stop to see a village of
1200 people, grown up in the course of a dozen years,
having some six or eight mills making sattinets and the
nicest cassimeres in the country. In other sections ot
the county arc furnaces, cotton and woolen mills, and
machine shops. Here too is a town, and it is our own
dear “ Mantua,” with four or five silk
where the great part of our tailors obtain their
Italian sewing silk and twist. Here the screw auger
was invented. But time will fail to speak of all. Hard
hy, in Windham county is a population of 1800, making
cotton cloth. In the eastern part of the country, in the
valley ot a single stream, in the space of twenty miles
are at least twenty cotton factory villages.
“In New London county is manufactured India'rubber
in a variety ol forms. In Norwich, woolen and cotton
mills abmiiid And here one single paper mill, the owner
informed me made $260,000 worth ol paper per annum.
New London and Stonington are growing rich out of
the whale fishery. Lyme, situated at the mouth of the
Connecticut, furnish s Sea-captains lor the London and
Liverpool packets, and seamen to man their yards.—
bailing up that river, now filled with seins for shad, you
pass a quarry of free-stone. Then you enter a shop, a
branch of a large establishment in Meriden, which mo
nopolizes the whole business of manufacturing ivory
combs, piano forte keys, umbrella tips, dice, and all kinds
of ornamental work made of the elephant’s tusks. Then
you need not smile at a veritable establishment for mak
ing patent inkstands,employing thirty men. Next you
will find a shop turning out axe-helves; next a screw
factory. Then you pass, on the banka of the river,
another quarry,a rich vein ot gneiss, splitting as readi
ly as chestnut timber, a vein about twenty rods wide,
from whence have been sent vast quantities of 9tone
to various parts of the Union and to the West Indies.—
And then another quarry of red sand -stone, employing
300 Irishmen and their overseers.
“I had almost forgotten a whole tow'n, made rich by
the manufacture of all kinds of bells, such as sleigh, horse,
clock and cow bells. In this city (New Haven) it is no
easy task to tell what is manufacutred except coaches
clocks, intellect, theology, law and physic. Fairhaven
furnishes the whole of New England and some portions
of New York with oysters.
“ Waterbury, with almost 4000 inhabitants,makes but.
tons, brass wire , and pins by the ton. And then there is
B rningliam and Ansonia.two contiguous villages, mak
ing cutlery, pins and hard-ware. Just above them, is'a
large establishment making augers, chisels, and the like.
Thence you will pass westward into the north part of
Fairfield county, and here you make an acquaintance
with the hatters in abundance. Here it ia the superb
hats for the New Yorkers are made.”
Borrowing Newspapers.
Borrowers are very unpopular people and yet they are
very numerous in this w’orld. There are money bor
rowers, book-borrowers, horse-borrow'ers and even
baby-borrowers, as Mrs Kirkland tells us. Some folks
will even borrow razors and tooth picks—but lor these
there may be sublunary salvation. But he who borrows
a newspaper is a “goner!” He is “regularly booked’*
and done lor, and it would (>e as useless for him to try to
hold up his head in decent society, ns if he had under
gone tiie operation oi the guillotine. We thank an ex.
change paper for putting it to these people in the fol
lowing transcendantstyle:
44 Got a paper to spare .'”
44 Yes, sir; here’s one of our last. Would you like to
subscribe, sir, nnd take it regularly I”
“ I would—but I am too poor’”
That mun has just returned from the circus, cost fifty
cents ; lost time from his farm, fifty cents ; whiskey judg
ing from like smell, at least fifty ceuls—making a dollar
and u half actually thrown away, and then begging tor a
newspaper, alledging that he was too poor to payfo r
it!”— Xunkee Binds.
Thc Indians.
According to the Report of the Commissioners of In
dian Affairs, the Government is indebted to some four
teen tribes of litdiuns, in the sum of $5,273,100, all of
which yields, at 5 per cent, an interest of 265,656.
These sums are due under treaties made between 1829
and 1846. The condition of these sons of the forest, is
represented as favorable. The different tubes, except
in Texas, wheie the Stale Government will not ac
knowledge that the Indians have an ownership on the
soil, are generally represented in a condition of im
provement.—Balt. Amtr.
Ho Tell.
Many of our most distingmhed men who now occupy
elevations ot commanding influence, have arisen, by
the bb smngof Providence upon their own efforts, from
cirruinstunces ot great eoiii|rative obscurity. A let
ter wus lately received in this city from a lady in Michi
gan, giving some account of the origin end progress of
the ablest man in (lie Sian* ot N. York, lion. Millard
Pilmore. She says in conclusion, ‘‘Permit me to tell
you wliot I heard an old lady say on hearing of his first
election to Cong less: ‘lA> tell’ Millurd Fill more! I
have many a time seen the saptrough in which he was

1 he different States of the Union whicn are iii debt,
amounting, in the aggregate, to considerably over two
hundred millions of dollars, are now, we believe, all
paying the interest, ut lull or in part, on their respective
debts ; except the following, whose debts in 1844 were
about as annexed, viz —Mississippi, $7 600,000 ; Ark
ansas, $3.:H)0,000; Florida, $4,850,000; Texas, sll,-

An lllustration.
T lie New York Tribune, at the close of a long arti
cle urging the nomination of Mr. Clay, says:
“ Let us emulute the fame of the French soldier, Ipi
tour d‘ Auvergne, ‘first grenadier of the Republic/ whose
name continues to be borne on the muster roll of his
regiment, and whenever called, the bravest survivor
makes answer for him, ‘dead on the field of honor V
We had always before thought that the Tribune en
tertained too thorough a disdain of war in all its shapes,
even to draw an illustration from its ensanguined fields.
It has however made a pnlpahle hit in the above poetic
incident. The “first grenadier of this Republic,” be
yond all doubt, is Horry of the West, the “Whig of all ,
the Whigs,” the “bravest of the brave.” But alas, his !
name, though still on the muster roll of the Whig regi
ment, is the name of a dead hero, and whenever, as the !
PresiJentiul battle ceases its thunders, that name is call- t
ed, the reply of the survivors is ever the same, “Dead on I
the field of honor.”— Sick. Republican.
Gen. Harrison’s Carriage.
The Frankfort (Ky.)Commonwealth contains nn ad
vertisement offering for sale the splendid family car- j
riage of the lamented Gen. Harrison. It was presented
to Gen. H. hy the young men of Baltimore ; the origi
nal cost was $3,500, and it is now nearly as good as
when new ; though it will be sold for greatly less than
cost. The circumstances of the family are not such as
will permit them to keep it —Baltimore Sun.
SUMMARY.
tW Somebody, who writes more truthfully than po
etical, says “An angel without money is not thought
so much of, now-a-days, as a devil with a hag full of
guineas.”
Z efi A toast of Gen. Twiggs is going the rounds,
as follows: “Shame to the knaves at home w'ho gave
aid and comfort to the enemy That’s the hardest hit
we have seen any where at Mr. Polk for letting Santa
Anna return to Mexico.
t3T A generartnanufacturing law has passed the
New York Assembly. It requires that the stockhol
ders shall he jointly and severally liable for all debts due
to their laltorere, and for all other contracts of the com
pany, until all the capital stock shall have been paid in.
tW It has been decided by the War Department
that the Forida volunteers called out to defend Florida
against the attack of the Indians are entitled to the
bounty under the act of 13th May, 1846.

book knowledge last year in New York at a public ex
pense of $ 1,325,000.
tw Tile Government is getting the clothes of our
soldiers made in Mexico, when there are thousands ot
poor people at home who might make them.
ty The wife is the sun of the social system. Un

like husbands, from flying off into space.
ty Married people should study each other's weak

fight to get it than they would struggle for the possession
of a lighted bomb-shell.
ty A process has been explained to the Paris Aca

by artificial etone of every quality may be produced, !
from artificial granite to statuary marble.
ty The Hamilton intelligencer says Mr. Colum

the U. S. Senate from Ohio.
ty A letter from Valparaiso, dated Nov 30, says—
“ A revolution has broken out in Bolivia, which promi
