MANCHESTER. and BIRMINGHAM AMWAY. :NCE CONTRACI r FOR WORKS. The DIRECTORS of 0 , 1! MANCHESTER and BIR MINCE-IAM RAILWAY CI )3IPANY will meet. at their Of fices, No. 23, Bond-street, J tanchester, on WEDNESDAY, the 12th, and THURSDAY, the 13th of August next, at Twelve o'clock at Noon, to RECEI VE TENDERS for -the following C ONTRACTS : on AVEms.rsnAr, the 12th of August, for No. 12, or PEOVER CONTRACT; and on 'THURSDAY, the 13th of August, for No. 13. or SANDBACH CON TRACT. to cover closely all the meat. The heat of the weather, it is said, dries the bread to such a degree that it can only be eaten new. The beef never gets tender, and vast quantities are thrown away because uneatable ; and if a sheep is killed, it must be cut up while warm. The prices of necessaries are, is. per quart for milk, 4d. a piece for eggs, 50s. per 100 lb. of flour. There was an expectation of finding a great num ber of forest trees, but this has been disappointed. Only three or four sorts of the gum or wattle, the shee oak or Paramatta wood, and the stringy bark, were found by the writer. The latter grew on hills about fifteen miles from the town of Adelaide. The gums are described as very fine, and so large that they can only be taken down by burning. The smaller plants appear to be pretty numerous. Of the few vegetables which are like the English, green pu s arc sold at 10s. per peck, onions at 3d. and 6d. a piece, according to their sije. The insect tribe is very nume rous, and the white . ant, which is so destructive to tim ber, is found in this plan, besides !bur or five other kinds of ants. The natives of South Australia wander about begging in a state of half-nakedness—an occupa tion they prefer to work, in spite of the advantages of good clothing. Brick is the material generally used for the buildings in Adelaide, a number of the houses having walls no more than four inches thick. In this respect, however, there stems to be a tendency to im provement. .The wooden hou ses , w hi c h arc rea dy ma d e in E ng l an d, and are brought over, are gaid to have a very good appearance, but to be very hot in the sum mer. The porous rotten quality of the stone, which is unfit to be seen without plaster, is a great impediment to the use of that material. Numbers have been-leaving Adelaide for New Zealand, probably under an impress tion that with such a wretched place any change must be for the better. (wain°, Villialti , S.

The object of this Society is to promote and en ' • courage European artisans, as well as others from diffe rent, parts of the world, to emigrate to the West India Islands, where they may be advantageously employed. Nearly all accounts lead to the inference that, in con sequence of the Emancipation Act, the supply of na tive labour is insufficient for the proper cultivation of the crops in these islands, and any judicious plan, therefore, for remedying the inconvenience to which the planters are subjected, must be regarded as a great benefit. The nature of the climate has till lately been considered an insuperable bar to the employment of Europeans, but it now appears that owing to proper care and attention to the health of the labourers, the experiment has been successfully tried in Jamaica and Demerara. Both English and German immigrants have settled on several estates in Jamaica, and, from the accounts published by the Society. strong hopes are entertained that the plan may be carried out to an extent which will fully supply the present defi ciency. Such a result would be of the greatest advan tage to all parties. It would benefit the consumers here as well as the planters, and would open up a field for emigration from the mother country at the distance of only a few weeks' sail. It is intended to provide the emigrants with free passage, medical attendance, and rations to their several places of destination, and the proprietors of the plantations where they are to be located will employ them em fair liberal wages ; and the Society, previous to the embarkation of the emigrants, will require the parties by whom they a re t o b e cm ' ployed to make proper arrangements for their reception on arrival. The emigrants will have evdry , opportunity of attending to their religious duties, and they will also be enabled to correspond with their families and friends by regular packets twice a month, and of making or receiving remittances through the various banks es tablished in the colonies. As a proof of the necessity of some measure of this kind, the Legislature of Jamaica has voted the sum of 50,0001. sterling per annum for three years in aid of immigration, and has appointed an Agent General to proceed to L on d on f or I , From the South Australian Register of the 29th of Feb.)

They were obliged to cast anchor six miles from shore, and to wade through the sea, carrying the women and children. Apparently the family arrived all in good health, hut they had caught the scurvy, which ap peared soon after their landing, together with dysen tery, which is the prevailing disease of the place. Of tilt persons who went by the same ship more than 100 died. On their arrival everything was scarce, water bad, bread at 4s. the 41b. loaf, and not an acre of ground was culti vated. The trees are described as growing in a circle, leaving a space in the middle, which is burnt up, and as hard as iron, and without a blade of grass. The cattle died on their arrival, and the only success seems to have been with the vegetables, which grow fast on being sown. In Adelaide, house-rent, according to this writer, is very high, 15s. per week being paid for an inconvenient two-roomed house, and new corners have to give from 10s. to 31, and 4/. per foot on a building lease of seven, ten, or fourteen years, for ground that was bought at 1/. per acre ; so that land here, as in other places, is the subject of an outrageous system of gambling. The writer observes, that nearly all the money is sent out of the colony as soon as it arrives, and that the tide of emigration alone keeps up the appearance of prosperity, the place having no re sources in itself.

To enter into the -details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thatithere is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless tlw evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to atta :k any of his young charges, what the rea, cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred'eharactcr, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

Thomas Hood, our old and very facetious acquaintance, whose merry conceits we have lately met with less frequentlr than we desired, we are glad to hear is about starting a net;, , career of fun, pun , and g oo d humoured sati re , in a series of articles to appear in " Coiburn's New Monthly Magazine," commencing with the number for August, under the attractive title of c, Rhymes for the Times, a n d R eason for the Season," wherein he proposes to fling his jests at all things worthy of such pellets; and a liberal, and it may surely be added in these dull tit - I'l6, a seasonable display of his most effec tive "hits" may be expected. A waggish friend of ours perceived that his pri vate drawer had been tampered with, if not opened. He said nothing; but simply wrote on a sl i p of paper, " Some d—d rascal has been opening my drawer," and placed it on the top of the papers in the drawer. The next morning his valet ap peared very sulky, and ont of humour, for which his master could not account. At last he said in a g!oorny tone. l am sure I did'nt open your drawer." the purpose of arranging agencies for the collecting and embarking of immigrants. But the great'point to be ascer tained is, whether in those districts where coffee and sugar are raised, European labourers can exist in a healthy state, and compete with Africans. Should the Society remove all doubts on this point, by making the experi ment successful, they would have the merit of doing more for the abolition of slavery than all that the most enthusiastic and sanguine philanthropists have yet done. When free labour shall compete successfully with slave labour, slavery will he abolished. The following re marks, in which we entirely concur, are taken from a Morning Contemporary : " In considering the objects of this Society, which laudably seeks to accomplish them by facilitating vo luntary emigration only from hence and elsewhere, it must be borne in mind that the Government, well dis posed as it was to lend its sanction and to encou rage, so far as the state of public opinion permitted, immigration into the West Indies, to supply the deficiency of labour notoriously existing, and so to increase the production on which the receipts of a large branch of revenue were contingent, were not able nevertheless to carry the measure they pro posed into effect, from the conflict of opinion and prejudice arrayed .cgainst it in one quarter, and from the inimical combination of another quar ter in opposition ; inicizal only because, the pro jected licence of immigration being confined to the Mauritius, solely was too partial in its proportions and operationsThetomebeesnuerefitietdheeed was Wes un West India interest be in onethe l of trial only, the successful results of which might lead to its extension to the West Indies ; but, as the old saying has it, whilst the grass grows the ox starves. Such are the necessities, such the destitute position of the West Indies, for want of an adequate supply of la bour hands, that unless instant, not prospective and dis tant, relief be afforded, the colonies, daily declining in productiveness, may be ruined past redemption before the day of promised succour arrives. To the mother country it is of incalculable importance, both politically and commercially, that the West Indies should be maintained as an immense field of production for the tropical products, equal to the supply not of this empire only, but of the whole world. And these colonies possess the peculiar advantage of closer proxi mity to the parent state than any other portion of the British dominions from which the same products can be derived, and therefore are so much more secure of pos session, whilst they form the very best nursery of a commercial marine, which must ever be the basis of naval ascendancy. " The system - and regulations laid down for the pro motion of immigration on the most wise awl humane principles, with the view, to the introduction only of a working population of the best moral, religious, and sober habits. are greatly creditable to the Society, and the strongest assurance of its success ' and beneficial working to all parties, both in the profit sense to the shareholders and liberal remuneration secured to the immigrants." EDUCATION GRANTS. As it is important to many of our readers to be in formed of the regulations to be observed by parties de sirous of obtaining any portion of the Parliamentary grant for the promotion of public education, we have compiled the following particulars from the published minutes of the Committee of Council : Every application for aid must be made in the form of a memorial to " The Lords of the Committee of Council on Education," and must be forwarded to the Secretary, at the Council-office, Whitehall. The memorial is to state, in the first place, whether the school for which application is made is 1. A Church School—by which is meant a school founded on the principles of the Established Church, and giving instruction in the Church catechism and doctrines under the direction of the Minister of the parish. Or 2. A National School—by which is meant, a school in connection with the National Society. Or 3. A British School—by which is meant a school in connection with the British and Foreign School So ciety. Or 4. A School not comprehended under any one of these three heads, in which case the nature and charac ter of the school is to be specially defined. The memorial is to state further, what is the nature and amount of the aid sought. What is the number of children for whom accommo dation, at the rate of six square feet superficial for eaoh child, will be provided. What is the amount raised by the applicants. What are the grounds for representing the case as one needing and deserving assistance. Upon receiving a memorial, with these particulars, the Committee of Council forward to the applicants a printed form of queries, which is to be filled up so as to communicate to the Privy Council the most minute and accurate information upon all points which reqnire at tention, and with which arc to be transmitted to the Council-office plans of the school-house carefully drawn according to scale. The preliminary correspondence being concluded, if the Committee consider that a grant ought to be made to the school, they report their opinion to that effect to her Majesty in Council, and when the Queen's approval has been obtained, the Committee of Council acquaint the applicants that the sum awarded is set apart for the school in question, and will be remitted when the school shall be finished, and the necessary conditions be corn pletedo—Chronicle. Sir D. Wilkie, the Royal Academician, will shortly take his departure on a professional tour to the East, u far as Jerusalem. DEAFNESS.—At length this dreadful malady is completely obviated, without torture and serious risk by medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solemons, 39, Albemarle street, Piccadilly, and 76, King William-street, Bank of Eng land, have constructed a Voice-Conductor, the size of a seven shilling piece, which, when fixed into the cavity of the ear, is soft, easy, and not more uncomfortable nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place ; and that which is deserving the public attention and approbation is, that an individual in company may place it in the ear and remove it unobserved. It pours into the ear the general conversation to such an extent, that in severe cases deafness is not the least perceptible, and sufferers are enabled to hear the slightest whisper at a public assembly. Their newly. invented Spectacle Lenses, immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, bring it at once back to its original and natural state, and the most minute particleiis seen, either by day or candle light, with exact distinctness. These valuable improvements in the materials are secret to themselves, and are solely confined to their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King William.street, City.

It is not very long ago since we read in an English pamphlet, addressed to intending emigrants to South Australia, and professing to give them much good ad vice and all requisite information of the country to which they were about to proceed, a definition of what is understood by " the Bush.' " When you retire to the Bush," says the author, " by which is meant the more thickly wooded part of the country ! " you are to do so and so ; and then followed some excellent direc tions for hewing and grubbing, abstinence from grog, and the genera! management of a menage befitting such a location. The author of the pamphlet with " good intentions," no doubt, has pro bably done harm, for, to judge by the language and pro ceedings of some of the not very lately arrived, it is to be presumed that their ideas of " the Bush" are founded on his description of it, or at all events arc fully as wide of the mark. What " the Bush" really is may, we think, be most truly described as the very re verse of the " more thickly wooded part of the country:' The splendid tracts to the south-cast and eastward of Adelaide are occasionally heavily, and sometimes but slightly wooded. In the deepest valleys on the margins of the streamlets, the magnificent gum tree is found, and on the higher ranges the stringy bark is abundant, while the country generally is altogether free from underwood, and pre sents gentle rises covered with thick grass, and resem bles upon the whole what we might conceive the fine " Chases " of Yorkshire to have been, or what the modern park scenery of England actually is. There is extent of territory known at present sufficient, at a mo derate calculation, for two or three millions of sheep, and half a million of horses and cattle. Every day ris in creasing our knowledge of the back country and adding to our flocks and herds. These additions, be it noted, are not made exclusively by our own colonists. The settlers of the adjoining colonies are gradu ally drawin g t owar d s us, and in many instances are taking the lead in the exploration and stocking of our territory. They know and can appreciate its ad vantages, and they are undoubtedly entitled to avail themselves of their skill and enterprise to the fullest ex tent. What may be the requisites for the successful settler in the bush will form the subject of dis cussion at an early opportunity, although there must be here, as well as in all other professions, different degrees of progress. We may here observe that we have never yet known the most unpractised eventually to fail, or to fall short of his expectations, while he went to work with determined sobriety and perse. verance. These are the true secrets of rural success— there is no witchcraft in the bush, and very little that is not easily attainable. We have just read in a Scotch paper a sweeping denunciation of this " horrid place," founded on a fort night's residence at the harbour on shipboard in the heat of last summer, enlivened by a trip from the Bay to Adelaide, and a careful examination of the shrubs on both sides of the road. It is about as correct a de scription of South Australia as an account of the cli mate and aspect of the South of England would be by a person who had only travelled across Dartmoor and taken that tract as a fair specimen of the fertile valleys of Devonshire. The gnat who proposed to lecture on the structure of the interior of the elephant from what he had seen of its skin, was not more likely to commu nicate a just notion of the anatomy of the huge animal than the pamphleteer has done of " The Bush," or the letter-writer of South Australia. In simple ho nest truth, there is nothing in the shape of land or country around Adelaide or the port which can con vey a correct impression of the splendour and magnificence of the interior. To have the faintest idea of what the resources and capabilities of South Australia really are, the ranges must be crossed—" the Bush" itself must be visited. Let any man of common judgment ride to the Mount Barker district, or to the Flaxman district, or to Vallies, or to the Three Brothers, or to the Meadows, or to Strath-Albyn, or to the Finniss, or to Encounter Bay, or to the Murray, or to the Lake, and we gage our existence on the favour able nature of his report. But let the practical farmer, or wool-grower, or stock-breeder, traverse the country we have mentioned—whether he be the new-arrived emigrant from the old country, or the experienced settler of the neighbouring colonies—and his account of the interior will not only be ten times more cheering, but he will give a more substantial proof of his favourable opinion by purchasing and settling forthwith. This is no imaginary result; its Fey_ is daily before the eyes of the whole colony. These observations are drawn from us by the know ledge of the fact, that there are at present several per sons in the situation of the young man mentioned by the Dundee letter writer, with seven-and-sixpence in his pocket, who are very much inclined to attribute their want of success to the unsuitableness of the colony to them rather than to the true cause, their unsuitableness to the colony, or indeed to any place where prosperity must depend on steadiness, perseverance, and good con duct. We have heard that during the present week, a scampish broken down attorney's clerk, the most unfit, surely, of the many unfit persons either to succeed here or to give an opinion as to the capabilities of the colony, intruded himself on board a ship in the buy, and so " flabbergasted " the emigrants with his account of the state of things on shore, that some of them made up their minds at once to go elsewhere, while others, who saw better into the character of their informant, determined to confirm their prejudices by a hot walk, in the middle of the day, from Glenelg to the town. If these parties would take the advice of time who have never puffed up the colony on the one hand or decried it on the other, but who have merely stated facts as they found them, they will look around them, examine the country in the first pla'c, visit and converse with the actual settlers in the sec ;rid, and then judge for themselves, and act as they may deem expedient. The letter we have alluded to as published in the Dundee papers, would occupy too much of our columns this week ; but should we find sufficient room in our next we may take it up, and give a fern words of corn mentary on it. [We have not seen the letter in the Dundee Paper, or Papers, to which the South Australian Register, in the above article, refers ; but we have seen and read accounts the most appalling of the misery endured by emigrants to that part of the world. We have heard South Australia described by persons whose evidence we should nut be dis- posed lightly to question, as a barren wilderness, vlierc water, that first of life's necessaries, is a luxury ; and where to send Englishmen is to doom hem to evils a thousand times more difficult of en- durance than any ever experienced by the blacks in Jamaica, before the passing of the Emanzi pation Bill. As it is of the utmost importance to such of our poor fellow-countrymen as the want of employment and the high price of bread compel to seek a livelihood in another land, that the real truth should be known, we subjoin from the City article of the Times of yesterday a very different account of South Australia frorn that given above, with a view to promote a discussion upon the subject, which may lead to a full and en tire knowledge of the truth. By the way, the Australian Register invites emigrants "to see and judge for themselves !" Is it, then, not true, as asserted in the work of a medical gentleman who visited the colony on his route to India, that emigrants, after landing, find insurmountable ob stacles thrown in the way of their re-embarking ? We should be glad to learn from some well-in formed and disinterested quarter, that ships arriv ing with emigrants are not prevented from taking them away, should a view of the country disincline them to settle in it.—ED. Sun.] A letter received from a resident in South Australia containing in some detail a description of that country, is worth adverting to at thi s period, now the emigra. tion to that locality is so much on the increase. He begins with the important assertion that the climate is not so healthy as it has been reported, bearing out this general statement with the fasts that he has seen four or five funerals go to the cemetery every day, and that aperson i rarely seen more than fifty years old. A place where emigrants, before they can obtai n emp l oyment, are allowed to stay, which is called " Emigration -square," s r emarkable for mortality. It is no uncommon oc currence for seven or eight to die in the course of a week. The weather recently had been unpleasantly hot, the thermometer being 108 or 11' , degrees in the shade, and 135 to 140 in the sun. The wind is ex ceedingly high, and the dust, which is raised by it, to a great extent, penetrates into every crevice. The river Torrens is described as having become so small that a four-inch pipe would convey more water. From the pools which it leaves in some places, and which are very deep, the inhabitants get their water, but this is so full of animalculw, tilat in hot weather it requires to be used ittant2diately, The writer of the letter pro cures water from a well 150 yards off, for which a price is paid. Fleas arc found to be a grievous nuisance ; they arc supposed to breed in the dust, and to be carried into . the houses in swarms whenever there is a gale of wind. At all events. it is after a storm that they arc most abundant. Another nuisance is a small fly resemblinc , our bluebottles, which de posit their young alive, and render it neeesEaty A few candid confessions like the above from residents on the spot would have a wholesome effect in counte racting the false hopes held out to unfortunate persons in their own country, which cause them to be still more unfortunate by the adoption of so miserable an exchange, and which arc too often encouraged by parties who, residing in the place of emigration, conceal their own hardships, and artfully induce their more ignorant friends to add to the common stock and share the hard ships of the situation. INSURRECTION IN SYRIA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The different tribes in Syria aro rising against the cruel despotism of Ibrahim Paaha, and Britain ought not to let the opportunity pass unimproved for re-an nexing Syria to the Turkish empire. Humanity and policy dLtermine us to give our suffrage in favour of the Porte. We see Turkey lightening the burdens of the people, when Ibrahim is striving to make them seven fold more heavy than they ever were before. But bow is this re-annexation to be accomplished ? By assuring the Maronites, the Druses, and the rest of the malcontents, that England feels the justice of their cause. This would give unity and strength to their efforts ; and then, if they were no: quite adequate to deliver their land from the usurper, the son of Mehe met Ali, a small body of marines would soon settle the matter. A gentleman who has paid much attention to the subject remarked us, that " a very small body of European troops would suffice to disperse the hundred thousand warriors of Mehemet Ali, and when once completely dispersed, it would be almost impossible to collect them." But it will be asked, " What will France say to this Will this square with her policy? Will this comport with her views respecting Syria and Egypt ?" Our answer to this is short, England does not exist by the permission, nor act by the dictation, of France. It is essential to the interests of both countries that-friendly relations should exist, and this the governments of both countries fully understand. England Las wisely ab stained from interference with France in Morrie, Buenos Ayres, and elsewhere ; we have contented our selves rith being mere spectators, although not with out a stake in the issue. Ibrahim being disposed of, a guarantee should b e given to the discontented tribes by Britain, that all their reasonable demands should be granted. To carry this guarantee into effect an arrangement should be entered into with the Divan, that the Pachas or Vice roys in Syria should act in all things in conformity with the views of the British representatives. By this simple understanding the property of the inhabitants would be defended from aggression, and the admi nistration of impartial justice in courts of law, un warped, uninfluenced by bribery or religious prejudices, would be secured. If life and property were. rendered secure in Syria, there is no apparent reason why that country should not regain at least a part of its once prosperous condition. A vast increase in the demand for British nitnufactures would thus be created. Syria, if we may rely upon the authority of Ilerodotus, is the kay of Eastern commerce. Were trade to flourish there, unfettered by official restrictions, and protected from the terror of the ma rauder, all the regions lying between the Mediterra nean and the Euphrates would profit by the impulse this would impart. Under the conduct of British offi cers, means would be found to put a stop to the incur sions of those predatory hordes which now infest the banks of the Euphrates and the Tigris ; and the whole 17ngth of those beautiful streams, which water some of the most fertile tracts in the world, would be studded with mercantile settlements. The Jews would, of course, be included in such a n arrangement ; and a period be put to those terrible persecutions which have lately excited so much sym pathy in this country. We indulge no visionary notions that the Jews will, as by some supernatural impulse, return all at once to their native land. But it seenis highly probable, from the affection which they are well kn'swn to feel for the "place of their fathers' sepulchres," that numbers would repair to Judea, and help to make it what it was once, a region of traffic. Jews in this country would have their agents there ; who from their thriving habits would become rich, and by their encou ragement and example stimulate the Jews in Palestine to east off their pensive and despairing habits, and bestir themselves in the active pursuits of gain by reputable commerce. There is a blessing on record for those who show kindness to the children of Abraham. Now is the time for Britain to set about deserving it. By a final and peremptory settlement of the ques tion between Mehemet Ali and the Porte, every pre text for Russian interference would be removed ; and Turkey, with such a substantial proof of onr friend ship, would in future look to Britain, and not to Rm.. sia for support. To carry out this scheme of making Syria the nu cleus of commerce, a Minister s h ou ld b e sent to the Persian Court to arrange a commercial treaty with that power, with a very clear understanding that we shall require the Willful performance of the engage ment. If th e Sh a h saw t h at he might depend upon the assistance of Encland in subduing his rebellious subjects, and that the alliance would tend to the benefit of his people, he would have discernment enough to dis pense with the assistance of Russian agents; and the policy of St. Petersburgh would receive a check in that quarter. By an arrangement with Persia, and a focus in Syria, our commerce might range from the Mediteranean to China itself, and retOtice the ancient lines of intercourse which pre-existed the route to India by the Cape. To menage such a commerce we have agents prepared to our hand in the Armenians— men who have all the enterprise, without the cupidity of the Jew. They are almost universally good linguists, and the beau-idcal of book-keepers ; for their ledgers and journals resemble pictures, rather than manuscript entries. As agents of English merchants, security for their persons and property would be ensured.; and thus they would serve us with all their hearts. Justice and policy would alike persuade us to take this indestrious but ill-used people under our protection. We should then have three roads to India—one by the Red Sea to fertilise Aden on one side, and Ls sowab, the key to Abyssinia, on the other ; a second by the way of Syria and the Euphrates ; and a third through Syria, Persia, and Bclochistan ; and a fourth, if re quired, throlicl! Independent Tartary and Mongolia, or Tibet, to China. Marts would spring up along these routes without number, and have their seat in the nure inc, home of mankind, in the first fields of ind us t r y and' civilization. We should have an o p poir t un i ty o f marking the progress of Russi a without t rus ti ng to t h e qu estionable authorities of St. Petersburgh or to the alarmists at Bombay. It may be' asked, what these nations want in way of manu f actur e ? O u r woollens and cottons, which, with th e single. t xeeption of silk, s eem destined to become the wearing 'apparel of the whole eastern world. The utility and beauty of vise former, and the smooth surface, even texture, and, if coloured, lively figure of the latter, make them the sub ject of attraction wherever they go.—Glotc.
