me to take from blot one hundred pair, is not this a glut? What may happen in fifty eases, as in Glees Britain, and our nrrth eastern states. may happen in a hundiod—in any as signable number. I agree, therefore, on this' subject, with Malthus and Sismondi ; according to the actual arrange ments of, commerce, thete may be over-production in one, in fitly, in a hUndred articles—there may be a glut . of Comm°. elide% in the market. It Is undeniable that there Is a glut in the production of cotton and woollen goodsat this moment in Great Britain. Let any man read the report of the committee of manufac tures, August, IE9, in the Lee?. Mercury. signed John stock, jun. chairman, presented to 31r. Peel, and moms other noblemen, stating the starving condition of 13.000 operatives, within the immediate neighbourhood of Huddersfield, in Yorkshire, who could earn by their labour but twopence halfpenny sterling per day (five cents). out of which they had to defray the wear and tear of their looms, and to main. tain themselves and their families—is it possible to ascribe this to any thing but the want of demand for labour, owing to an over supplied market by means of machinery ? At least 200,000 operatives are now in this situation in Great Bri tain ; nor can any one hesitate to pronounce that this state of things is owing exclusively to a glut in the market. lam very willing to concede that my arguments depend mainly on the present state of things—on the prevalence of " the re strictive system," which interferes with, and clogs every operation of production and interchange. Let us suppose a system of free trade and free ports, and I have no doubt but supply and demand would so adjust themselves to each wher. that a glut would never take place.

The whole surface was green, as the sea water or Brazilian emerald, emit ting not a single beam. Such also was the state of the heavens as to create an optical delusion. The great orb of light seemed to I.ave left the skies, and to hang in our own atmosphere, suspended like a balloon at no very great distance from the earth.—Commercial Advertiser. NEWPORT, Sept. 31.—A schooner of about 100 tpna, with one broad white streak, One nArrow above, and two gilt stars lei the stern, and sup posrd to be grain laden, capsized off the Sma'ls, 20th lust. Several ineffectual attempts were made to save the crew. A letter from Naples, dated August 28, leis, that the day after a British Captain had taken possession of the new volcanic island in the Medi terranean in the name of his Sovereign, and planted the Britfah standard upon it, the inhabi- tants of Scaicca, a town lying nearest to the vol. cauo, took down the flag and claimed the sove reignty for Sisily.

Nothing of the sublimity of horror is associated) in the mind of an Englishman with the mention, of ",Jack Ketch ;" we even denote him by'a pleis- 1 sant sobriquet : we feel no convulsive shudder when we hear of his wheteabout ;* we do not cross over the way when we meet in Fleet-street. rWe regard him, with the exception of his drunk enness—some trifling brutality of taanner—a re lit'', too prominent expression of contempt for the refinements of society," taste, Shakspeaie, and the Musical glasses," as a mighty respectable profee mr—in his way. Perhaps the familiarity which our laws permit between him and the public, may have detracted from all that should have beeb imposing or impressive about him. But " l'ese cuteus des hautes mums" is regarded in France in a far different and more formidable light. Al though a resident in the centre of the French ca pital, he is never seen but in the public perform ance of his dreadful duty :—a degree of cautious and not impolitic mystery is attached to him; mai such are the feelings his very name excites, that the mere announcement of his presence, in the common walks of life, would render the very 800. levarde sacred to himself alone ; would disperse the myriads of barricaders in the noontide of their patriotic travail;—would calm the tre mendous clamours of the Chamber of Deputies, and prorogue or dissolve it without the solemnity of proclamation. Should he deign to usher in the Duc de Bourdeauz, he might clear a way for him to the Tuileries and the throne without dread of competition or resistance. The mandates of the Procurter-generals himself, which summon him to his duty, are deposited in a boucke , de fer, in serted in the large and massive iron grating that guards the entrance to his dwelling ; for perhaps not one could be found, daring and reckl es enough of popular opinion, to consign them in person to their terrible addteas.—He reads and obeys. In the darkness and depth of night, with his assist ants, he arranges the maillrials of death : no word is spoken as he labouri in his awful calling ; the feeble light, which enables him tp prepare the ma chinery, glimmering on the scaffold, renders the guards that surround it barely discernible ; while they, motionless and dumb, seem rather phantoms of the night than breathing men. If allowed to trace such an official to the solitude of his shunned domicile- -to see him seated, Crusoe-like, beside his hearth, and to consider the economy of his unprofessional hours—something might be learned of good or ill which might point a moral, if it would not adorn a tale. To him it has been given to know the last words, looks, and actions of many, unobscured by affectation or deceit ;—the secret affections of numbers long concealed from the world's view have been laid open, once and briefly, yet prominently, to his sight. He has witnessed the eloquence of remorse or of inno cence, at the hour of death, when the retrospect of a lengthened life of sin or misfortune has been comprehended perhaps in one last sentence, one parting word or look, more emphatic than all that " saint or sophist ever writ." Grave reflections these; but they were passing through my mind as I rung at the bell of a small rem. house in the Rue des Marais du Temple ; the door being opened, I was ushered into a low well-furnished room, wherein a man, of the age of sixty, was employed touching the keys of a piano with his right hand, while his left arm embraced a child about ten years old, of remarkable beauty, whose features strongly resembled those of him who held her. The old man was Henri Sanson, the public executioner of Paris ! Having pre viously adapted my address to one whom I had imagined in my mind as bearing in his traits the repulsive record of his trade, I had to re-order my ideas, and assume a different manner. For, as I contemplated his mind and open countenance, in which manly beauty was not wanting, I felt my self bound to acknowledge. by a corresponding courtesy of demeanour, the salutations of a man of the world, wholly free from embarrassment or affec tation. The intention of composing a treatise on the various public punishments adopted at different epochs of French legislation, was offered by me as an apology for the unaccustomed intrusion to which he was subjected. He politely acceded to my re quest for information, and conducted me to a chamber containing a large and well-selected li brary. Here, all the awkwardness I had pre viously felt, as to discourse with the singular being who stood before me, was at once dismissed; and the titles of the various volumes which I examined soon led to free conversation, during which my host displayed great taste and judgment in his ob servations on the various works I brought under his notice : expressing himself as one would do, who had profited largely by what he. had read. It was clear that his books formed his chief so ciety : abandoned by the world, he can here hold converse with Ilse illustrious dead, and can reder himself familiar with the senti ments of the good and great, of the present or a past age, without dread of the expression of that scorn disgust, and horror that would attend any attempt at personal communication with his fellow-men. Sanson loves to talk and talks exceedingly well ; but, in the whole course of a visit of two hours, which was prolonged by the interest excited in me by this extraordinary person ; he forgot not for a moment the distance placed between him and so ciety in general : he showed that he was fully aware of his situation, and does not aff ec t t o des- pise the feeling it is calculated to produce in others ; but, having made up his mind to sustain it, calls up all his philosophy (for it may well be termed so) to support him in an existence without the pale of social intercourse. Among his books my eye fell on " Le dernier Jour d' to con dantne." Reverting, however, to the professed ob ject of my visit, he unlocked• the door of another chamber, in which the various instruments of extreme punishment, formerly used, are yet preserved by hint. It is, truly, a fearful museum: and the examination of its contents gave rise b many inquiries on my part, which led to many curious anecdotes which he re counted, particularly as to the last moments of the condemned. I could not but feel the contrast, of the office of the man with the sensibility he dis played in his narration, and the humanity which be evinced as he adverted to the dreadful circum stances in which he had borne so prominent a part. It is unnecessary to quote them ; but all he related of the sufferers, in the hour of death, had some thing singularly forced, unnatural, and painful Castaing e•as believed generally to be innocent of the crime for c bleb he was condemned, yet, RP Sanson told me, he confessed- his guilt upsi the scaffold. He showed me the sabre with which the Marquis de Lally bed been beheaded. It wet pre-' pared for the occasion, and three were cast befere one could be found likely to answer the purpose. It was usual at that period for young men of fashion to assist (as the term is) on the scaffold at the last, hour of the condemned, as they did on the stage at theatrical performances. The crowd upon that occasion was great, and the Apace limited; the arm of the executioner was jostled, at the moment the sabre was balanced above his head, the blow was diverted from, the neck of the unhappy victim, and a common cutlass was resorted to by one of the executioner's assistants, to end the agonies of the sufferer. A notch in the blade of the sabre is exactly of the size, and in the form of a human tooth. I have said that Samoa, during the conversa tion, gave proofs of no ordinary humanity. He summons up his resolution to the dreadful task he has to perform, and his firmness fails him not at the moment of duty. Yet, as soon as he re ceives the fatal order of the Procuresir Generale, he has always a visible and violent struggle with his feelings ere he brings himself to obey. He at !eagth proceeds to prepare, with apparent coolness, the machine of destruction and all the apparatus of death, but as soon as his sad work is finished, his countenance becomes pale and death-like—he returns to his solitary hoes. and shuts himself in his chamber, is here he long refuses nourishment or conversation, and wangling from his eyes when induced to advert to the circumstances of an exe cution. The mass bad impressed me with feelings de; cidedly distinct from those which I anticipated as the result of my communication with him, and as I took leave of him (I know not whether from for getfulness or otherwise) I held out my hand. His countenance suddenly changed as he drew back several steps from me ; it expressed astonishment and confusion—all his ease of manner had Bed at once, and I was again reminded of "la mai* ?ante." Sanglc_ To save the subject of this paper from a charge of vulgarity, by the world in general, let it be remembered that, during the Irish rebellion, a gentleman of name, family, and fortune and the high sheriff of a county, bad, if I recollect, the thanks of both houses of parliament voted to hint for acting as executioner, when no other could be found, to a formidable criminal ; that in the year 1790, on the poposition of Maton Delavarenne, seconded by Mirabeau himself, it was especially decreed, by the French legislature, that the public executioner should be comprehended• in the numbet of citizens, and that formerly, in the state of Wur temburg, after having exercised hit profession a certain number of years, the headsman was ho noured by having conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws.

EDINBURGH WEEKLY CHRONICLE, Sept. 24. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh and its vi. cinity, held in Ile , great room of•the Waterloo Hotel, on Thursday, Sept. A "John Boyd Greenshields, Beg. in the chair, the followint resolutions, having been severally pro. posed and seconded, were unanimously adopted:- 1. That the seat and anxiety of the people for the success of the reform bill, instead of abating by time, continue to increase in intensity with the progress of the measure. and will unquestionably rise in proportion to every obstacle by which its final triumph rosy be opposed. 2.

This does' not much apprehension, on the part of the Ministers, of what Is about to take place in the House of Lords. Rauntuass POLITICAL MINN.—A general meeting of the Union, for the purpose of petitioning the Lords to pass the reform bill, was announced, above a week ago, as to be held on the evening of the arrival of the news that the bill had eussedthe Commons. More delay has taken place than was expected; but we see it now advertised in our columns to.day tbat the meeting of the Union is to be held on Mon- day evening, at seven o'clock, in the Cowgate Chapel, No. 26, Iligh.etreet. All persons friendly to the object of the meeting are invited to attend. The meeting could not be held tonight, as it is impoesible to procure a church to meet in on Saturday taming; and no other place is lame enough for a meeting of the Union. The Newcastle Political Union lately met for the mme purpose, above 4000 strong, in the open air, sad passed strong resolutions in favour of the bill. About 1600 members of the Union afterwards dined together in toms erected for the purpose, and passed the evening with great harmony. These Political Unions are now to be found everywhere, and are an important sign of the times. AtTisaws' Rzannto Room.— With much pleasure we observe, that this readinproom is succeeding as well as the best friends of the working classes could wish.

While engaged in cutting down the crop, Mr. Sande selected four old - persons, parishioners of Port, whose united ftm amounted to =8 years. Two of them were meg,endr two ern, and the women were sisters. They were each fundsW with a sickle, and desired to try if they stil retained their former skill as reapers; when they cut down the portion of grain allotted to them with a degree of neatness and expedition that would have done honour to brawnier arms and younger sinews; and after completing their labour, they danced a Scotch reel to the music of the Highland b agpipe with great life and spirit. One of the old men had a coat on, which had been in his possession (`r 80 oars.—Stir! Journal. BOAChlf, SATCAOAT Manzars.—The quantity of butter and eggs were in the market.
