Dzsmss OF UREfi H s IN AMERICA. TE COTTON ..WANUFAC- T During the heyday of ra=Fea ism, when the mature of ' distress on our manufacturing districts produced sonic dis turbances, and occas.sionslly some mischief ; we were con tinually referred to the United States, as a standing proof that the depression of trade could result only from mis government and excessive taxation. The natural advantages, by a newly settled country, over a sta te over =d e el with population, were wholly disregarded by the reason-n, whose object was to have the public faith broken, ! and the government re-constructed from its foundations. 11, the last arrival of American papery, we find, however, diet even in the United States the fluctuations of trade will affect the wages of the labourer, and dispose him to tumult. The following article is 'enacted from the Tiorid..ncr Journal, a newspaper published in New Eng land, that part of the Union which has been lotigtat and has the most dense population:— " The citizen! of Pawtucket have for a few days past been in a state of excitement and disorder, which reminds us of the accounts we frequently read of the tumults of manufacturing places in England, though unattended with , the destruction and damage usually accompa n y in g those ' riots. The present depressed state of the cotton manufac ture, on which the village principally de for its sup port, has occasioned much anxiety Intrends minds of the manufacturers, and the prospect being gloomy and unpro mising, they ecnelnded that something must be done to compete successfully with the country manufacturers, who, generally, by working their mills more hours in a day than has heretofore been usual in this village, and procuring weavers at lower wages, combined with other advantages, have been able to manufacture at a less price. (in Monday last there was a meeting of the manufacturers, which was generally attended, and an agreement made to run the mills about an hour longer, and to reduce the wages of those who worked by the piece, after the Ist of June next, about 20 per cent. When the labouring part of the cons inunity learned the result of the meeting, they very gene rally detennincel to work only the usual hours; and when the bell rung to call them to their employment, they assem bled in great numbers, accompanied by many who were not interested in the affair, round the doors of the mills. apparently for the purpose of hindering or preventing the entrance of those who were disposed to accede to the reso lution of the master manufacturers: no force, however, was used. The female weavers assembled in parliament, to the number, it is stated, of one hundred and too: one of the most active and talkative was placed in the chair, and the meeting, it is understood, was conducted, however strange it may appear, without noise, or scarcely a single speech. The result of the meeting was a resolution to !abandon their looms, unless allowed the old prices. " On Wednesday evening a tumultuous crowd filled the streets, led by the most unprincipled and disorderly lout of the village, and made an excessive noise. They sited succeseively the houses of the manufacturers, shunting, exclaiming, and using every imaginable term of abuse and insult. The window in the yellow mill was -ken in—but the riot, considering the charm. ten of those led, and the apparent want of all reflection in those 'snowed, was not so injurious to property and per security as might have been reasonably apprehended. next thy the manufacturers shut their gates, and the have not run since—a comparative stillness now -and it is to be hoped that the people will return to of propriety—satisfied, as they must be, on reflee • the prosperity of a community can never be pro . and tumult." .....•!eeeoseame!!!!! ADVENTURE AT A GAMBLING HOUSE. Marshal Wade had a great passion for gaming, and fre ' places where all kinds of play was going forward, . being very nice as to the company he met. At these places one night, in the eagerness of his di m, he pulled out an exceedingly valuable gold snuff richly set in diamonds, took a pinch, and passel it keeping the dice-box four or five mains before he then recollecting something of the circum not perceiving the snuff-box, he swore ye man should stir till it was produced, and that search should be made. On his right sat a per t as an Officer, though shabby, who now-and great humility, begged the honour of going a tb him, and by that means picked up four or rhn the suspicion fell, and it Was proposed to . first, The gentleman, however, desiring to be exclaimed, " I know the Marshal well, yet neither all the powers upon earth shall subject me to a vhile I have life to oppose it. I declare, upon the "a soldier, I know nothing of the snuff-box, and it will be sufficient. Let the man who doubts into the next room, where I will defend that perish." The eyes of all were now turned upon hal for an answer ; when, clapping his hand r his sword, he felt the snuff-box in a secret side his breeches, into which he had inadvertently it had pa ssed round. Remorse, mixed with and tenderness for the wounded character (be.

It may be easily supposed that the was complied with. After some conversation, larshal requested him to say what could be the true 'his refusing to be searched. " Why, Marshal," 'ic Officer, "being upon half-pay, and friend obligod to husband every penny. 1 had that !fie appetite, and as I could not cat what I had nor afford to lose it, the leg and wing of a fowl mancbet, was then wrapped up in a piece of paper in -ket ; the thought of which being found there ap be ten times more terrible than fighting the room " Enough, my dear Sir," said the Marshal, eve said enough.

JO tn. ;13' Fwho JOURNEY TO THE WHITE MOUNTAIN. I From the tut Number of The Asiatic .fa rual. Just publi.hed.l With the exception of some Jesuits sent about a cen tury ago by the emperor Khanghee, for the purpose of corn- ! posing a map of Eastern Tartary ' , no European has pene- i trated into the country of the Alandchoos situated to the e North of Corea, from which it is separat e d by the range of snowy mountains called in Chinese Tehhang pe than, and in Manchoo, Goliman-changan-ateen, or the Great White Mountain. The narrative of a journey in that country, translated from the original landelloo, will therefore be be acceptible to the reader of history. In the year 1671. the emperor Khang-hee dispatched one of the grandees of his court, named Oomoona, to visit' the White Mountain, and give a description of it. The Emperor, in his order, said, that this mountain is situated in the happy region which was the country and the scene of the glory of his first ancestors ; but as there was no one at Peking who knew that country well, he wished to send Oomoona, not only for the purpose of his furnishing a de scription of it, but likewise to sacrifice to the protecting spirits of the mountain. Oomoona, who was at the same time charged to describe the country of Ningoota, left Peking in the fifth month (June), and took his course by the way of Nlookden, to wards the city of Gireen cola. 'f here, as well as in the whole country of Ningoota, he looked in vain for a person who might serve him as a guide to the White Mountain. He only met with an old man, born in the country of Ekhe neien, who said, that in his youth he had heard from his father, that it was not far from that place to the mountain. lie also remembered that people went there to hunt the stag, and that a hunter, having killed one of these animals, bed brought it on his back td Ekhe neien. Oomoona set out from Gireen cola the second day of the sixth moon (July), and after a laborious journey reached Ekhe neien, whence he dispatched a number of men with hatchets, in order to cut a road for him through the almost impenetrable forests. Ile at the same time enjoined them to inform him of the probable distance he might be from the mountain. Ten days afterwards they reported to him that they had proceeded to a distance of thirty /s/ (lee) when they reached a hill, from which, on climbing a high tree, they had discovered the Great IVliite Mountain, which did not seem to be far off, probably between 170 and ISO /y. By a second report, he learned that these people, having ascended a higher hill, had seen the White Mountain much more distinctly than before, hut that it was surrounded by clouds and fog. They estimated the distance at about 100 Iy. On this intelligence Oomoona and his attendants re sumed their journey on the 13th of the 6th moon, for the last-named hill, whence the second report had been dis patched to him. They travelled for two days; on the third, very early, they suddenly heard the cries of cranes ; at the same time a thick mist began to cover the country in such a degree that the expedition neither saw the moun tain nor even the nearest object about them. Compelled to follow the cries of the cranes, they soon fell into a track made by the stags; they supposed that this would lead them to the White Mountain, and were not mistaken. When near the mountain, they entered into a plea sant wood, in the centre of which they discovered a small grass-plot of a circular form. A half ly far ther they saw a spot surrounded by trees, of the kind called white sadjoolan, and which seemed to have been planted by human hands ; they were intermixed with odo riferous shrubs, and flowers of a yellow colour covered the ground. °moon& left here the horses, with about half hia people, and pursued his journey, attended by the re mainder of his followers. Being prevented by the clouds and mist from seeing the White Mountain, he resolved to recite the prayers addressed to the protecting genii of the place, which the Emperor bad charged him to worship. They were scarcely begun, when the mist disappeared, the mountain showed itself before him in all its beauty, and he discovered a path which led up to it. The air on it was pure and agreeable, and he distinctly traced the shape of the mountain, there being but a few small clouds left hovering about the summit- At first the ascent was not very difficult, but it gradually became more and more painful. The travellers in ascending (a distance of above 100 4q) were obliged to hold up their clothes. They walked constantly upon snow covered with a crud of ice. which seemed to have lain from year to year without hav ing ever been thawed. When they had reached the top of Cie mountain, they discovered a platform surrounded by five very high pinnacles, between which was a lake full of water, the circumference of which might be from between thirty to forty I . e. Oomoona, approaching the lake, discovered on the op posite side a bear, which from that distance seemed to be very small. The tops of four of the pinnacles declined so much, that they seemed in th e ac t o f falling. T he fifth pinnacle, which was situated to the south, was straight, and less high than the others; its base assumed the ap pearance of a gate. From several parts of the mountain they saw springs and rivulets gushing forth, which flowed either on the left towards the Soonggeree cola, or on the right towards the great and the little Nsien. Oomoona spent some time in the examination of this mountain ; and after having offered a new sacrifice, de scended from it. Ile had scarcely walked the distance of a few fathoms, when he suddenly perceived on the heights a troop of stags which came running by the side of him ; and, which appeared the more surprising to him, these animals precipitated themselves, one after another , down from the tops of the rocks, so that seven were killed the fall. Oomoona considered this event as a special favour shown to him by the guardian spirits of the mountain ; indeed, it was a precious gift to the Ambassador, sent to them by the Emperor, and who was at that time without provision. When he had reached the foot of the moun tain, he had three stags cooked, but not without having sa crificed a part of them to the spirits, in order to testify his gratitude. His mission to this country being now accom plished, lie left it. Immediately on his departure the mountain again disappeared in clouds and mist. On his arrival at Ningoota, Oomoona wrote down his description of the mountain, and re-entered Peking on the Bth day of the Bth moon. The Emperor delighted with the success of his mission, commanded the Tribunal of Rites to give some new honorary_ titles to the guardian spirits of the White Mountain, - may! CELEBRATED PAINTERS. TITIAN. Tizkino, whose weeks are so abundant in Venice, was born Ca the Castle of Catior, in the province of Friuli, in the year 1480. His education under those cold and minute painters, Sebastian() Zucehati. and Giovanni Bel lini, made him so accurate a delineator of nataral objects, that when he wished to compete with Albert Durer, whose works were for a while popular in Italy, and accordingly painted Christ and the tributc-money. (of which we have seen several repetitions,) he so carefully represented every hair of the head, every pore of the skin, and even the re flection of objects in the pupils of the eyes, that he shook the fame of the German artist. But his genius was equal to higher things. Even while he imitated Albert Durer, he painted in the free manner of Giurgione, then his fel low-student, and afterwards his rival. Some portraits by Tiziano could not, indeed, be distinguished from those of liiorgione. This similarity did not continue long, for Tiziano, deserting the grand and the energetic, formed a new style, that was remarkable for enchanting softness. and for its conformity with truth. By far the majority of his pictures were painted in this manner, fur his fine repre sentation, In the Sacristy of S. 11Iarziale, of the Arehan gel Raphael conducting Tobiah, was pointed out to us as having been executed by the artist in his thirtieth rear, and that picture is in the style generally known to be so peculiarly Tiziano's. His design is not marked by that anatomical accuracy, nor is it elevated by that ideal grandeur which distinguish the masters of the Florentine and Roman schools. Hs could not correct the form of his model by any general Idea of beauty in his own mind. Michelangiolo praised him for his colouring, but censured him and the Venetian school generally for their bad me thod of designing. Less severe was the opinion of Tinto retto, the rival of Titian°. He once observed, that Ti ziano did some things which no one could excel, and he could perform other things, if he possessed a better notion of designing. The invention and composition of his pic tures show that sagacity, strength, and tranquillity of mind, which always carried him more to truth than to the novel and the specious. He never introduced any thing unne cessary to his story. lie who loves the taste of the Greek bassi relievi, where all is nature and decorum, will prefer the grave and dignified compositions of Tiziano to the splendid works of Tintoretto. It is, however, excellence in colouring that distinguithes the former artist. He was the inventor of brilliancy and lightness of hue. Never has a painter to well comprehended the principles of co louring, and applied them with such skilful management to his various subjects, as he has done. His attention to the detail of finishing leaves no signs of painful accuracy, nor did it affect the general result. His light is generally in the centre, particularly in his portraits, where it gives force to the eyes, nose, and mouth ; the other parts are left in a sweet negligence, which casts an air of spirit and ele gance over the head. In short, what Michelangiolo was in grandeur, Rafaello in grace, ('orregio in harmony, Lio nardo in chiaroscuro, Tiziano is in colouring. These are the five great men who, it may be said, were the real authors of painting ; so much does their greatness transcend that of their precursors. Tiziano, more than any other genius, sees nature, and draws her in all her truth. No wonder, then, that he is the first of landscape painters. Nature dictated his scenery. He is the earliest artist that has given a real character to landscape, whether landscape be considered as the picture of a scene in its positive state, or the rich combination of various delightful objects. Hence the superior beauty of 'risiano's back-grounds. History painters have surpassed him in genius and invention, but he is unrivalled in the grand e u r a nd s impli c y, t h e charac ter and resemblance, the elegant air and the graceful cos tume of his portraits. Tiziano's pupils have neither been numerous nor cele brated. Ha has bad much indirect influence on his age, but he is more distinguished as a painter than as a master. He has never had patience for the drudgery of tuition, nor liberality to applaud rising excellence. He quarrelled with Bordone for successfully emulating his manner.

TINTORE'rM Jacopo Roburti, called from his father's occupation at Vroice (that of a dyer), II Tintoretto, felt his pride flat tered by the cause of the indignity which he met with from Tiziano: and with consciousness of original ind in dependent powers be aspired to the honour of forming a new school of painting, combining the purest design with the most beautiful colouring. (her the door of his study, in a miserable habitation, he wrote, " The design of Mi chelangiolo and the colouring of Tisiano." His studies were directed to the attainment of these excellencies, and it is interesting to observe, that he used generally to design from his casts and copies of Bonarruoti and the antique, by lamp-light, by which means he learned strength of light land shade, and powerful chiaroscuro. He studied the hu man form, both extinct and living, with the zeal of a Flo rentine artist ; and all the knowledge, which was the fruit of anxious and long-continued attention, nourished and enriched a genius grand and sublime, and an imagination vivid and fertile. His picture of the Miracle of the Slave had been put up in the Scuola di S. Marco, at Venice, and that picture for design, composition, chiaroscuro, and co louring, may, in the judgment of the most accomplished Venetian virtuosi, be placed among the wonders of paint ing. He has reached his noble wish of embodying the gradeur of Michelangiola in the colouring of Tiziano. r his picture has, moreover, all the vigour of a sketch, and all the roundness of finished execution. Never did a painting make a more powerful impression upon us, than Tintoretto's Crucifixion, in the Albergo or guest room of the Scuola di S. Rocco. A death-like still -110711, an awful and melancholy air pervades most of the scenery and figures, and the eye finds light only in the gleam that hovers over the head of the Saviour in the cen tre, or that dies away in fainter tones on the holy and faithful group at the foot of the cross. But talents, how ever rare, learning however ample, are vain without dili gence and gaudiness of application.
