From q late london Paper.

We mention for the information OF our female
friends, that an entirely new article, called Circas-
sian, or Cassinette, is now manufacturing IN The
neighborhood of Hudders6eld, in very consdera'
bic quantities, principally for expectation to The
Continent. The warp is of cotton, and the welt
wooIlen and all colors, qualities, and widths may be
had. 1t wears well, and, in some coors, looks We
ry genteel. The chief recommendations OF this
fabric are, its cheapness, durability, and incomous-
tibiiy; not that it will not burn, but it takes FIRE
with difficulty, and is, on that account, well adapted
for chdren's wear.-Ths Cassinelte makes very
pleasant dress, particularly in the winter season ;
and, though it is little than the same price as
calico, it will wear three times as long, and save a
fourth dress in washing.

From the .Nso Fork Statesman, Juiy 90

Several gentlemen have arrived 10 town this
week from New Orleans, Mobile and Blakeey, by
The way Of Pittsburgh and Lake Erie. Those
from the first mentioned place assembled the Mis-.
slssippi; and those from Alabama travelled by
land TO Nashville Tennessee; thence descended the
Cumberland river, and proceeded up the Ohio to
Pittsburgh by steam boats. From the latter place
they passed in stages to Detroit where they embark
ed in the elegant steamboat Superior, captain
Bunker, for Buffalo; thence by the Erie canal to
Albany, aud down the Hudson TO this city. They
mention the interesting fact, that one-third Of the
passengers IN the steam-bo were from the Gulf
OF Mexico, preterrlng this new rout from the south
to the north, as being the cheapest, the most COM
Portable, and by far the most pleasant. 1t must in.
deed be a delightful tour in the warm season. af
fo'ding ul view Of some OF the grantlest scene
Try in the United States, comprising the rivers Mis-
sssippi Ohio and Hudson, the great western lakes,
the Falls OF Niagara, well as the most stupendous
artificial work OF modern times. The day is not
distant when this will become the fashionable route
between the north and the south, the canal form
ing an important link in The golden chain of com.
merce and intercourse, 10 bind together remote
parts oil the union.

In Corporal Harker's Smut Juacltine, or Custom
House Gazette, Of the S0h ult. il was stated Tho,
hive sixths OF the voters in Newcastle county were
in favor Of Mr.. Crawford =! I! Hardened as he i.
in the vice Of .fbting, the ex.auctoneer really be.
came ashamed Of having told such Mumper. and
IN his next paper endeayored, he thought to make
some alonement for his sin against the truth, BY
saying that in Newcastle county there is an IN.
doubted majority in favor of General Jackson and
TIE strength Of those in favor OF Mr.. Crawford and
Mr. Adams is about equal" He has not yet an.
we'd at the truth. Mr. Crawford has not more than
twenty par'igans in this county, and he is not more
popular in Kent, where the people are in favor Of
John Quincy Adams. 1t is our opinion that The
friends OF Jackson will unite with those Of Adams,
who compose large portion of the population Of
this county, and that the vote of this S,ae will be
given to the latter gentleman.

Nr Randolph .Married.-A Liverpool paper
LOT the 10Th June thus announces the arrival OF Mr..
Randolph our distinguished and eccentric country
man : " The honorable John Randolph of the Uni
ted States, accompanied by his lady, arrived here
ION Monday last, in the packet ship Nestor." o,
he Dir. Randolph never was married in his life.
How could they say, then, that he had his LADY,
with him This is absolute scandal.
The tariff bill, as it passed the senate, was recev
ed at Liverpool by The Nestor, and published at
full length in the Courier Of the 18th, without com.
ment. Perhaps this is what the Liverpool wag

FOR our part, we hope never to see The desi-

of genius and erotic fruits Of experience' So
long as we have good supply Of both articles OF

Mr.. Crawford and MIR. Gallatin f-.9m. Sentinel.
The above we find copied into The National Intel.

WRITTEN IN EGYPT.
Parent of nations Arts proud sire!
Upon thy pyramid stand,
While the sun filings his beams Of FIRE
Over thy desolated land.
Now, far as the strained eye can :can,
sandy ocean sleeps around,
Nothing speaks out Of living man
Save me and mine--there is no sound
OF aught amid this solitude
To break the silence ofthe waste,
And fancy paints in mournful mood,
Wild visions Of the ideal past
For now the mind is lett 10 guess,
How fair was once this wildelness
As death upon some lovely frame
Tells life once breathed in beauty there,
Tha, the exiinsushed tsper's flame
Once flashed its radiance on the air;
Thus shsdowing forth from their decay
1 he glorles OF persisted day.
The crown that gemmed thy awful brow,
Thine arts, thy power-where are they now
No wandering Arab can be seen
Within this horizons sweep,
And am ,lsing mid the scene
Where the tired Pharaohs sleep
And am uampling Ger the Dead
Full fifty ages vanished:--
Those vanished dead but who were they !!
They pass'd and left no name
HAPPY ambition in their day
Had never shewn the toilDg way
To cheat posteriy with fame.
Whst ruined cities may be hid
Around this lofty pyramid,
Whelmed in tn desert sand;
In whose long streets he gazer's eye
Once saw amid antiquity
This wonder OF hIa land,
Yet knew not who had reared it high,
But guessed as erringly as j;
Yet the same heaven looked out in light
Upon the toiling busy sight,
Uprearing then its glorious brow.
AT morning dawn as it does now.

Round Memno's mystic shrine
