Th e great value of this work, we '`°" attentionof purpose, the continuity of its plan, Paid to the student's power of com pleting the whole series of processes which are involved in t' , e sAntion of the problem under consideration. Though a suffi cient number of examples is always a desideratum in every elementary book, the clear development of -the whole pro cess is greatly more important ; but in Trigonometry examp'es ara lb easily formed, and the results so easily verified, that we think there is less necessity for this kind of amplifica tion than in any other branch of elementary mathematics. We therefore think Mr. Young has done judiciously in rather giving ex amples of completely-worked questions under each head, than in adding a great whither Of tinwrought questions, merely as- an exer cise tor the student in performing operations for which has no model, nor, to him, an intelligible rule. Having done this, we think the number of exercises given in the present work will furnish ample practice for the most unapt of his readers. " Mr. Young has added a set of logarithmic and other tables : * • we feel it proper to state that we have lately dipped into them, at haea.rdi anti with OtherS of established reputation an our desk for comparison, about two hundred times, and in no one of these cases did we detect an error. " We hope, therefore, that the account we have been able to offer of this unpretending work, will have the effect of calling the attention of younger students (and still more of professional tutors) to it, as a book eminently calculated to ensure an early intimacy with the pra.elice as Well as the principles of trigonometry, and of attracting the notice of geometers generally to the curious results that appear in the supplemental chapters, and inducing them to at tempt the extension of a branch of science, which apparently ad mits of almost unlimited cultivation."—London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine, November, 1833. " The design of this work,' as Mr. Young observes, ' is to establish the theory of, plane and spherical trigonometry analyti cally, and to present that theory in a form fitted for elementary instruction.' * * Were nothing required in trigonometry but an elementary knowledge of the properties of plane and spherical triangles, then we should say, that the beautiful geometrical eluci dations by Dr. Simson would -be sufficient to engage attention. Butt he science, to be generally-or eNtensively useful, must be car ried further, Ind recourse be had to analytical methods of investi gation, from which, in most cases, results are ettained more con venient for turning into actual numbers. In these respects Mr. Young appears to have left nothing to be wished for ; having fur nished numerous analytical formula', and numerous examples of their arithmetical results, The great recommendation of the work is. its being a sure and plain guide in almost every species of trigo nometrical calculation. ** * Mr. Young has now nearly com pleted a course of mathematics, which is certainly the best we pos sess."—The Tyne Mercury, August 27, 1833.

"If works like the present be introduced generally into our schools and colleges, the Continent will not long boast of its immense superiority over the country of Newton in every branch of modern analytical science.—The Atlas, July 25, 1830." " We have to notice these excellent productions, as clear guides to the higher branches of science. They do infinite credit to Mr. Young ; and no works of the same class can be more fit to be put into the hands of students."—Literary Gazette, May 28, 1831. ELEMENTS of the DIFFERENTIAL CALC FLUS ; compre hending the General Theory of Curve Surfaces, and of Curves of Double Curvature ; in cloth, Bs. " The work is divided into three sections, and each section is subdivided into chapters of a moderate length. The first section treats of the differentiation of function :in general ; the second contains the application of the differential calculus to the theory of plane curves; and the third unfolds the general theory of curve surfaces and of curves of double curvature. In the first the author introduces the most valuable theorems and formulae of the cele brated analysts, Euler, Lagrange, Demoivre, and Cotes. In the second, he has given a correct explanation of what the French have termed consecutive curves. The third contains the most beautiful theorems of Euler, Monge, and Dupin, relative to the curvature of surfaces in general, together with a chapter on twisted surfaces; a subject hitherto confied to foreign writers. The whole forms a more simple, consistent, and comprehensive view of the differential calculus, and its various applications, than any hitherto published. " But the work does not merit attention merely on account: of arrangement, and the judicious selections which it contains from the writings of others. It has also claims to originality. What the author has adopted from other writers he has rendered much more simple. The chapter on Maxima and Minima presents con siderable improvements in various parts of the, investigation. In surveying the cases in which Taylor's theorem fails, Mr. Young has shown that it does not fail where the coefficients become ima ginary,.as is asserted by Lacroix and his followers, but that these failing cases are always indicated by the coefficients becoming in finite. In one of the problems on this' subject he has detected a false solution by Lagrange, which has been trans ziribed by Gamier and several others, merely on the faith of a great name. " The whole Elements of the Differential Calculus, comprehend ing all that is most valuable, in the large works of the most cele brated analysts, are contained in a duodecimo volume, beautifully printed on a fine paper, and neatly bound in cloth. It appeared to be in every respect well fitted for a class-book, and can scarcely fail to be very generally adopted.—Presbyterian Review, Sept. 1831. " There are no affected changes of method ; there is no parade of original plan or of novelty of principle ; and yet there is much original matter, much original reasoning, and, what is of more value than all questions about originality in an elementary treatise, there is a perspicuity, a unity of method, prevailing in all its parts, that renders it more than any book we have seen peculiarly adapted to instruction. " It is not, however, as an elegant and perspicuous development of the first principles of the Calculus merely that we have admired, and therefore recommend Mr. Young's little work; we have also found much to commend in it of a more profound character; much that we look for in vain in larger works, and indeed in all English books. " The paralogisms of some other writers (distinguished ones too,) are pointed out in the preface, and in the body of the work ; and many steps which have hitherto been deemed unquestionable have been shown by Mr. Young to be altogether fallacious. We wonder indeed, when we see them pointed out, why they did not occur to ourselves, nor to any body else, till now ; and we look upon the aptitude displayed in these detections to be highly characteristic of a mind which looks with laudable anxiety to the purity of the fun damental principles of science. "—Philosophical Magazine, Oct. 1831. ELEMENTS of the INTEGRAL CALCULUS; with its Ap plications to Geometry, and to the Summation of Infinite Se ries, &c., in cloth, 9s. " The volume before us forms the third of an Analytical Course, which commences with the ELEMENTS OF ANALYTICAL GEO METRY.' More elegant text-books do not exist in the English language, and we trust they will speedily be adopted in our Mathe matical Seminaries. The existence of such auxiliaries will of• it self, we hope, prove an inducement to the cultivation of Analytical science ; for, to the want of such elementary works, the indiffe rence hitherto manifested in this country on the subject is, we ap prehend, chiefly to be ascribed. Mr. Young has brought the science within the reach of every intelligent student, and, in so do ing, has contributed to the advancement of Mathematical Learning in Great Britain."—Presbyterian Review.

CAUTION.

THE TERROR OF CORSICA._A famous bandit, named Paul Salvini, who had acquired tl:e asove sobriquet, has lately been killed in a rencontre with some Corsican vol tigeurs, who, having discovered his retreat, mct with a deter mined resistance, and unable to take him alive, shot him. CHEAP RIDING.—Mr. Galt being incapable of locomotion, has lately invented a machine which gives him exercise somewhat similar to riding. We have seen it : the appearance is handsome and simple —made of mahogany, it will be rather ornamental to the parlour. It is of the form of a cross, the transverse beam moving on a pivot like a balance. From each arm hangs a stirrup iron, and on the top of the up right are two pullies, through which two cords are reeved, fastened to the extremities of the transverse beam. The un fastened ends hang down in front with bell-pull handles. When using it, the invalid is seated on an eleow chair, his fact placed in the stirrups, while he grasps the handles, and gives it motion by drawing the cords, raising and depressing the ends of the transverse beam. It must be a desideratum not only to lame invalids, but to authors and :,rtists, clerks, t iilors, Secretaries of State, and indeed to all sedentarics. To our worthy townsfolk, as we have a little too much rain here, it must supersede the umbrella. The inventor calls it a sileialias a Highland pony, and says, sinc e th e dandy horse is stabled in "the tomb of all the Capulets," it should become as immortal m Pegasus.— Greenock Paper. PALMER V. PARROT. At the rising of the Court his Lordship gave judgment in this case, which was argued on Friday. The bill was filed by the Lord of the Manor of Oldbury, in Shropshire, against tha.copyhold and customary tenants, their lessees and vendees, to restrain them from digging for coal and iron-stone on the manor ; and also for an account of the costs and profits derived from the working of the said mines for the last: twenty years. The defence of the tenants was that they bad a customary right to dig the mines ; and that even if they had not so originally the long acquiescence on the part of the Lord barred his right now to prevent.them. The evidence on their part. proved that they had exercised a right of .digging the mines, cutting timber, carrying away clay to make bricks, and otherwise dealing with the subsoil for the last thirty or forty years, without any remonstrance or complaint on the part of the Lord of the manor. They also proved that boats took away the coal on a canal in the immediate neighbourhood of the manor-house ; that the steward of the manor was cogni zant ad:is, and that bequests had been made by the tenants of the manor, and that the wills giving these bequests were en rolled in the manor court. These facts, and the length of time that had elapsed-before . the claim was preferred, must un doubtedly be considered as bearing much against the title of the Lord. It was not consistent with the principles of the Court that any party should be permitted, after such ac quiescence, to demand a share of property accumulated during rrinstriA in which he had permitted other persons to ride their capital. without incurring the slightest responsi bility himself. The Master of the Rolls had alloWed the bill to be hung up for a year, in order that the Lord might bring an action of trover to try his right, the tenants ad mitting, on their part, the takirr , of the coal. The Lord had not brought this action, and his Lordship now thought that the bill must be dismissed, and that the plaintiff must pay the costs of the suit. He did not, however, think that there should be any costs of the appeal, and that the depo sit should be returned. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 11. MORTARA V. HALL. In this cause, for the administration of the estate of the late Captain Nisbett of the Life Guards, a petition, which excited great interest, was presented by Mr. Burgham, the surviving partner of Messrs. Burgham and Hummel, tailors, Clifford -street, Bond-street, for leave to bring an action against the executors to recover the amount of their de mands for clothes supplied and money lent to Captain Nis bett, to the amount of 3,421/. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the petitioner, stated that Captain Nisbett came of age in June, 1831, and was accidentally killed in September of the same year. A few days after he came of age he made his will, and directed all his just debts to be paid. In the inquiries in the Master's office as to his debts, a question arose whether debts to a very large amount contracted before Captain Nisbett came of age, were to be discharged under the direction in his will ; and the Master reported against the claim of the pre sent petitioner upon two bills of exchange. Upon excep eons this report was confirmed by the late Master of the Rolls. Messrs. Ludham and Hill, glovers, then carried in a claim for hosiery, which the Master allowed ; but upon exceptions to this report by the legatees, his Honour the Vise-Chancellor was of opinion, in February last, that where guardians made a minor a reasonable allowance for his maintenance, the question as to necessaries could not arise ; and that in such a case a tradesman had no claim against his estate even for necessaries sold to him on credit. The report was referred back to the Master, and no further claims of the kind were made. The Master made his ge neral report in May last, ascertaining what remained to be divided between the legatees ; and the present petition was presented in July following. The report was confirmed in the absence of the creditors ; and this, though not com plained of, was a ground why the present petitioner should be allowed, notwithstanding the report, to prefer his claim at law. This account opens in 1828, when Captain Nis bett was only 18. He was, known to be a minor, and to have an ample maintenance for his support ; and a trades man who furnished him with such articles as are now charged for must have known that Captain Nisbett had no means of paying fOr tihem. if a tradesman will strpply the most extravagant articles to a minor, he has reason to suspect the other expenses of the minor are upon the same ruinous scale. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon some of the items of the - account, every one of which twheereitseumpsplrieefderbreedforteo C we a re ptt Nisbett came of age. Among 1828.

In a case of such obvious, and flagrant, any profligate extravagance it is impossible to pick out an item here and there, but the whole demand must be rejected at once. The VicE-CHANCELLOR, after stating the dates of the transactions as already detailed, observed that every person must be struck at this frightfully extravagant and ruinous sort of debt against a spendthrift young man. When an opportunity is given to tradesmen who are unprincipled enough to enter into Itch transactions with young men, the honest customer who will pay is defrauded by the advance of price to make up the losses occasioned by such specula tions. He had no doubt the party would not succeed at law, and the charge was of such a nature as he sought not to lend his assistance to.—Petition dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 11. GUSTADE V. WHITFELD. Mr. BALL stated that this was an action brought to re- I fr a o s na a th m e i nor de . fe n T da h n e t case fo r c clothes o•er thefurnished t oof her son, 0 1 n 3 , 5 ; 6d. v who Ivas tried a few days ago at the Bail Court, before Mr. Justice Littledale, when the question was, whether credit was given to the mother or the son•. The plaintiff was an army tailor, carrying on business in Vere-street, and the defendant a w id ow l a dy, w ith thi r te en c hild r en, residing at Brighton. The defendant's son, who was a minor, pad been introduced by Chatellain, a drawing-master to a Mr. Nightingale. From Mr. Nightingale he was led to expect that he should procure, through the intervention of Sir John Abney Doyle, a commission in Don Pedro's in vading army. Mr. Nightingale did introduce him to the defendant, by w h om h e was supp li e d w i t h c l o thi ng an d equipments, and he sailed from London in a ship called the Pomona; but on arr i v i ng a t Op or t o th e s hip w as not permitted to l an d th e passengers , an d th e y oung ma n de clined entering into the service, as he found that some of those who had gone out with expectations similar to his own obtain e d no comm i ss i ons , b u t were o bli ge d t o en li s t as privates in Don Pedro's troops. There was contradictory evidence a t the trial as to whether the credit had been given to the defendant or to her son ; but the Learned Counsel stated that the evidence went decidedly to show that credit was given to the son. The Jury, however, found a ve r di c t f or t h e p l a i nt iff ; an d h e now move d t o set aside r that ver di ct , as aga i nst ev id ence . The COURT would consult Mr. Justice Littledale on the subject. BAIL COURT, Nov. 11. An application was made to Mr. Hoggins for a rule to show cause why the award in a case in which the Rev. Mr. Harrison and the Rev. Mr. Johnson were parties, shotild not be set aside on the ground of collusion in the arbitrators. The award was made in respect of some farming stock. Two far mers h a d b een appointed arbitrators ; they viewed the farm, went over the stock, and-then referred the result of their view to the umpire, but they did not agree in the estimated valu e . Th e ump i re procee d e d t o ma k e Lis award, which he was about doing, when the plaintiff's soiscitor, un derstanding the manner in which they were about to dispose of the reference, an d k now i ng th a t hi s c li e nt's inter ests were suffering from the mode adopted, went into the TOOIII and interrupted the consultation, and requesting tl unwire would do justice between the parties by allowing him to call in evidence, so that neither of the Learned Gentlemen might be denied. The umpire, however, refused to listen to the suggestion, and desired the solicitor to leave the room. The arbitrators then took hold of the umpire by the arm, and they all retired from the room to another, the former saying to the latter, " Come along, make the award, and let them do what they can." The award was subse quently made.—Rule granted. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 11. William Warminglon, who case was before the Court some time arto ' came up to receive judgment. He was op posed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of a female named Susan Parsons, and was supported by Mr. Woodroffe. The insolvent and the opposing creditor were in the ser vice of a gentleman named Edge, residing in Essex-street, Strand. He was the footman and she was the housemaid. They courted, and the happy day was fixed, the bans having been published at St. Bride's. A day or two be ore the one appointed for the nuptials she gave him 601., telieving him " all constancy." The money was to be expended for their future support, and the beauties of a beer shop were dis cussed, as well as the advantage of a cab and horse. The affianced bridegroom, however, married another named Ann Miller, and, with poor Susan's hard earnings, they took a trip to America, where they remained some time. When the money was spent they returned. The insolvent ob tained a situation in the country as a gardener, where he was discovered, and poor Susan had him arrested. He offered terms which she refused, and now opposed him for his conduct towards her ; she found, alas ! " she had loved not wisely but too well." The insolvent denied the pro mised marriage with Susan ; he said he never thought of such a thing. The COURT told him he was a worthless fellow ; and Mr. Commissioner BowEN sentenced him, under the discretio nary clause, to six months' imprisonment from the date of filing his petition. ; --- if - (..__.1`',5 '' --........-‘ . /..ty. ..-7 ( ' •,---6: - .l` / 12 • / , taped your observation, You h a v e yours e lf as p os iti ve ly asserted it in your report to the King on the ordonnance of the Bth July last, 4 The duty on wool,' you said, ' has-not been productive of advantage to the agricultural interest, ,4. ~,, / as the proposers of it had expected :it has not produced a 'a 't the fluctuations in the price of wool, which has risen or • i '-' ' "-lien from causes quite independent of the import tariff.' .- I'' 1... ss 2 , + is - Willow frank and Hear us to express our astonishment that, after so , ~. . . ear an avowal of your conviction, you should have limited ~,,:yrself to propose that the duty on raw wool be reduced to 0 - pe : cent., increased by a tenth, and that - you found no inconvenien: e in continuing the duty of thirty Per cent., increased by a tenth, on carded wool, and the positive prohibition of spun woo l f:om every country (goat's wool alone excepted). . " We have in vain endeavoured to eir.‘ . ya to ourselves the causes of the contradictions which ext.`- between the reasons assigned in the report we have quoted And the re gulations which followed it. " As soon as it is known and admitted that a duty laid on, with a view to protection, not only has not realized the expectati ons entertained of its effect, but that it has bleu injurious to other interests, it becomes incomprehensible how the propriety of taking off such duty, or at least of largely reducing it, can for a moment be doubted. Yet it is the very opposite of this logical consequence that is adopted by the ordonnance of the Bth of July. Was it with an idea of benefiting the revenue—a fear of lessening the amount of one of the resources of the State ? We cua not believe this when it is now proved, by the experience of the legislation in England on wool, and on all articles in general used for manufactories, that moderate duties pro duce a larger revenue than very high duties. Since it follows, from what we have stated, that the obstacles in the way of importing foreign wool have not been pro ductive of advantage to the French wool -Growers, and that they have been seriously injurious to that branch of industry which consumes the article, is it not reasonable to conclude that restoring the liberty to imports would be supplying this same branch of industry with fresh means of work ? " It is beyond a doubt that our manufacturers with an abundant and a varied supply of wool 'could manufacture articles either in imitation of those made in foreign coun tries exclusively, and which yield a good return, or new articles, Which the active and fruitful imagination of our operatives could oppose with success to our foreign rivals. French ,wools could then be mixed up in these new articles, and thereby find a market which is net now open to them. By the combination we propose, a twofold advantage would be obtained : the one for our manufac turers, who would increase the amount of their exports and the profits of labour ; the other for the agricultural in terest, which, in consequence of the greater consumption cf wool, would obtain in all probability a better price, and a more regular sale. " For these reasons, Sir, our opinion is, that foreign raw wools, over which our own have the advantage of not hav ing to bear the expense of freight or carriage here, should be admitted to entry upon payment of a duty (droit de balance); and in order to compensate for the deficiency in the revenue, we propose that the premitun or drawback allowed on the export of articles, all wool, be discontinued. Experience has shown that this premium has been a con stant source of fraud. " But if it be certain that the agricultural interest will not be injured from the proposed alterations in the tariff, the same cannot be said of the spinning -mills, which have been established for wool under the shield of the complete prohibition system of spun wool, and nearly so of carded wool : we look upon it to be but equitable that these two articles should, for a time, continue liable to a protecting duty, which will enable the mill-owners to get in the capital they have invested. And as it seems to us to be incontro vertible that the French spinners entertain no fears from foreign competition in carded wool in the fine numbers, whilst they do so for the coarse numbers and the twists, tas are of opinion that the one and the other ought to be sub jected to one duty, which appears to us quite high enough at Mr. (2s. 4?-,d.) per kilogramme (2 1-sth lb. nearly). " We think that the spinners are too enlightened not to understand that the competition they will have opposed to them, by the new free system, will not be more prejudicial o them than that they now have to contend with from smuggling. " Is it not desirable that our manufacturers should be freed from the absolute necessity of having recourse to re volting and immoral means to procure articles which are indispensable to them ? Has not the Treasury a direct interest that the premiums paid to smuggling—sometimes as high as forty and sixty per cent.—should, by means of a moderate duty, become part of the revenue of the State, and enable the Government to lessen the taxes of other sorts, which weigh on the tax-payers? " Such, Sir, are the observations which it 11: - .4s been re solved in our sitting of this day should be submitted to you on cotton and wool. Until these observations have led to a positive decision, we shall be unable to give an opinion on the conditions on which foreign wove articles might b© al lowed to be imported. We shall abstain, Sir, until then from giving any opi nion on this question ; and we take pleasure in believing, that duly appreciating the motives for our reserve, you will enable us to give you our ideas on the admission of fo reign manufactured articles, by combining this admission with that of articles of consumption now entirely prohibited —or so de facto, though not nominally—and which serve for the manufacturing one another ; such as raw w oo l an d cotton, spun or carde wool, spun or twisted cotton, coals, iron, dye goods, and, •in general, all those arti c les whi c h Fresch industry cannot obtain from France for its nume rous manufactories. We are, with the most profound respect, Sir, Your most obedient servants, " L. DUGAS, President. • " VACHON IMBERT, Sec." MANUFACTURES IN SCOTLAND. FRANCE. COMMERCIAL INQ UIR Y. The following letter has been addressed by the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons to Mr. Ducliatel, the Minister of Commerce : " Sir,—We regret that the shortness of the time which remained from the date when we had the honour to receive the circular you addressed to us on the 20th September, to the period mentioned in that circular for entering upon the commercial inquiry, has not enabled us to select a delegate who would so far dispose of his time as to respond to your call. We shall endeavour, by making a few observaticns on the questions arising from your circular, to make up for this deficiency : happy shall we be if we can throw any new light on a subject which has given rise to such diversity of opinions, and if, sir, we can lay before you arguments of .such weight as to induce you to enter more boldly into that path which seems to be imperiously called for by the times in which we live. We are amongst those who have expressed the wish for the laying on of duties in lieu of the existing prohibitions. The whole of our answer of the 29th October, 1833, to a circular from your predecessor in office, dated 27th August, of the same year, is founded on that principle, and calls for its application. We continue in the same mind ; our opinions are unchanged, not only because we wish to see the national treasury benefit by that which is now absorbed by smuggling, but also because we are convinced that no confusion can arise from the laying on of import duties, in such proportion as to enable the manufacturers who have risen up under the prohibition system, to regain, by degrees, the capital they have invested ; this system cannot be met by any well-founded opposition. It is, moreover, of the highest importance, that manufactu rers and traders should be thoroughly impressed with the fact, that they are no longer to look up to the prohibition system, and that they are not to enter into any speculation founded on it. " The transition from a prohibition system to that of a well-regulated freedom, ought not to be sudden. It there fore is the duty of the Government to prepare the public mind for the change. In this point of view, the inquiry seems to be opportune. W e think, nevertheless, that if the Government had previously come to a determination on the articles used for manufacturing, and had made the same known, the inquiry would have been more regularly carried on. How is it possible to estimate the extent to which the French manufactories will be able to compete with foreigners, without first knowing what improvement may be effected in their produce, either as to quality or as to price, by the al terations which must inevitably be made in the terms of ad mission of the articles which they consume ? " For example, can a correct opinion be formed on glass one of the first articles to be discussed, as long as there is an uncertainty as to coals? The more or less cost of this fuel increases or diminishes the price of the manufactured article. It, therefore, will be but when the French manu facturer shall be able to ascertain the advantage to be de. rived from using that important foreign article (coal), that he will be able to make up his mind whether it is sufficient to compensate for the chances he will run by being brought into direct competition with the foreign glass manufacturer, by modifications in the tariff. Most assuredly is this argu ment applicable to wove goods ; and if it be seriously in tended to alter the law which now applies to them, it being ~1, 1 1 understood with prudence, the article hitherto prohi bited oust not be saddled with such an import duty, as to antamount to a prohibition—or even with so b hi e gi n i e a ar' o ly2 as :till to offer a premium to smuggling. This liberty to import zaust not be beset with such restrictions as to be little more th.;.n the mere show of such a faculty. Nevertheless, this ma) be said to be the case from the royal ordonnance of the Bth July last, relating to cotton twist. Its regulations are completely faulty in two points : " Ist. Because the import duty of 7fr. (ss. 7d.) per kilogramme (2 1-sth lbs. nearly), to Which cotton twists above No. 142 are liable, is equal to from 27 to 33 per cent. of the value of that article, exclusively of the expenses of freight, carriage, &c., whilst it is well known that the pre. mium paid for smuggling on the frontiers does not exceed 18 to 20 per cent. " 2. Because by limiting to the numbers above No. 142 the liberty to import foreign cotton twist, the above ordon nance does not comply with the wish we had expressed, the object of which was to procure for the manufacturers of Lyons, St. Etienne, and Nismes, an important diminution in the first cost of an article of which they consume large quantities. " The general consumption of those manufactories con sists in numbers below 100. Before the ordonnance, those numbers were scarce and at a high price ; they are now much more so, for by opening our frontiers to the higher numbers, the ordonnance has in fact consolidated the mono poly of the spinners of the lower numbers, who for a time were.in fear of losing it. Is it not physically impossible that our manufacturers can compete in articles of silk and cotton the demand for which daily increases with those of Rhenish Prussia, who possess the immense advantage of being able to obtain, under a duty of 5 or 6 per cent., cotton twist of all countries, England included, those of which, in our ex hibition of foreign goods, are marked at from 45 to 75 per cent. damper than the French cotton twists ? " The royal ordonnance of the Bth July is but a half mea sure ; all its effect has been to produce a fall of about ter. to fifteen per cent on the high French numbers. It would be a e .Lrable to render it more beneficial and compreli et. sive ; and we hot; no doubt that it would be an advantageous stimulant to tte Y rench cotton spinning, to allow of the introduction of the lou'er numbers of foreign cotton twists, in the order and subject to t he duties as follows,- viz.— s. d.

The agricultural interest, consequently, has not derived from it the advantages which had been ex pected.

J. The following article on the manufactures of Scotland is from Mr. Horner's Report to Lord Duncannon, dated London, July 20, 1834 : " 'lie total number of cotton, woollen, flax, and silk fac tories in Scotland, in which the machinery is moved by steam-engines or water-wheels, amount to 388. It is pos sible that there may be some country woollen mills which have been omitted by the surveyors, but if so, they can only be on a very small scale. The chief scats of the cotton and flax mills are in those parts of the country where coal abounds, or is to be had at a cheap rate from the vi cinity of the sea ; and some great mills have been esta blished in situations distant from coal, where there is a great command and fall of water ; but it is remarkable, that some situations in Scotland, highly favourable for manufactures, are without them, as, for instance, in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, where coal is very cheap, where there is a large population to supply young hands, and where there is a sea ! port to save the expense of land carriage, both for the raw material and the manufactured article. With the excep tion of some large establishments at Aberdeen, and one at Stanley, near Perth, the cotton manufacture is almost en tirely confined to Glasgow, and the country immediately adjoining, to a distance of about 25 miles radius, and all these country mills, even including the great work at Stan ley, arc connected with Glasgow bouses, or the Glasgow trade. " The spinning of flax by machinery is the next manufac ture carried on in mills to a large extent. These factories are even more numerous than the cotton mills, but are ge nerally on a smaller scale. The chief seats of that manu facture are in the counties of Forfar, Fife, and Aberdeen ; they are chiefly engaged in spinning the coarser qualities of yarns, but the finer qualities are on the increase. With few exceptions, the woollen mills of Scotland are on a small scale. Of the total number, 89, 71 do not employ fifty people each ; and of these 71, there are 26 which do not give employment to 20 people each. There are only six ;,ilk mills in all Scotland, and only three of these are of any importance. The total number of persons employed in the cotton, woollen, flax, and silk mills of Scotland, is 46,825 ; of whom 13,721 (3,799 males and 9,922 females), are be tween the ages of thirteen and eighteen ; and 6,228 (2,552 males and 3,676 females) are under thirteen years of age. There are a few under eleven ; their number, as stated in the returns, amounts to 1,143 ; but that is not to be taken as the number now in the mills, for I have found that since these returns were made, some mill-owners have discharged all under eleven, and taken on older children in their stead. At the same time, I am inclined to think, that a deduction of 100 would cover all who have been so discharged ; for it was usually in cases whore two, three, or four only were under eleven, and it was not thought worth while altering the arrangements of the mill for so small a number. The enumeration of steam-engines and water-wheels is not to be understood as showing the actual number of engines and wheels, because the returns for those mills where more than one engine or water-wheel is employed, only state the total amount of the power. It will be seen, however, that the total amount of steam-power is 5,330 horses, and that the water-wheels are estimated as equal to a power of 4,822 horses—making together a mechanical moving power equivalent to 10,152 horses." Of the 5,330 horses of steam power given in the above rept.'rt, the town of Dundee alone produces 1,042, being about one-fifth of the whole steam-power of Scotland.
