TER GREAT EASTERN.—In proof of the facilities
of the port of Liverpool for the performance of any de-
acription of work, we may Math that the inward cargo et
the Great Eastern bas been discharged, mad the ship coaled
for her next voyage, in seven working days. When it is re-
membered that the cargo discharged and the coal shipped
would weigh in the aggregate sot much lees than thirtasa
thousand tons, the magnitode of the work aod of the es-
emeary arrangemouta may be imagined. The emessity of
loading and discharging in the Sloyne of course very mate
rially increases the work to be perforMed, but this drawback
is at present unavoidable. The ship will sail to-monew

A Duzsawawsn's EIFIRIZNCE.—" A Dressmaker"
writes to the Tunes :—" 1 have for some years been em-
ployed as dressmaker, having been compelled by the death
of my father to gain my living by that occupation. We
gusually work during 14 hours a day, and in mem of emer-
ncy we have laboured 30 hours consecutively, with the ex-
ception of intervals of rest not exceeding, on the whele,.one or
two boars, our failing strength being supported by strong
coffee or tea and a few doses of port wine. Oo Sunday we are
only allowed breakfast, and are expected to spend the day
out of the house with friends, if we have the good
fortune to presses any, and, if not, where we eon.
You may readily imuceive that this arrangement is
by no means cooducive to morality, and I regret to
be obliged to confess that several of my companies'
have been irretrievably ruined io commoners 1 have
struggled earnestly, and hitherto, thank God, succesafelly
against the manifold temptations which have beset my
Under continued close confinement, want of exer-
cise, and overwork, my health gave way, but happily I have
found friends who have enabled me to relax my exertions.
sod I have now nearly regained my strength. I have no
wish to excite sympathy by exaggeration. I have told you
the simple truth, or rather somewhat less then the truth.
We poor dressmakers shall bless you for ever if you succeed
in improving our condition even in the slightest degree."

the letter, which conveyed to ham the news, he throw down
hie scythe and exclaiming, " I shall have no more of that,"
left the fanner and his gram to their fate. The legacy
which Inngford has an unexpectedly received is said to
amount to between 30,0001. sad 40,0001.—Berks Chroat..le.
