WILLOW BASKETS. A few years ago
we imported Willow Baskets from En-
rope in large quantities now they are
manufactured in great numbers in this CITY
and the vicinity, and as get 1t is difficult to
supply the Increasing demand for the article.
As the trade requires only dexterity with
little strength, it is peculiarly well calcula-
ted to give employment TO females. Indeed
it is surprising that numbers who are now
employed eleven hours a day at the needle.
with a compensation not exceeding two
shillings per day, do not engage in it /; there
is little doubt, but they would find it a profit
able employment. The trade of working
in hair is also an occupation in which fe-
males might be employed to advantage.

THE THAMES Tunnel. The course taken
by MIR. Brunei to remedy the second influx of
the Thames into the works have, as far as thew
have proceeded been successful, and he is as
confident as heretofore of his ability to carry
the work on to its completion AT present i
has been deemed most advisable not to clear the
the whole force of the steam engine, this could
be done in day. The subscriptions on the
part of the public in aid of the funds of the Com
pany, do not flow in so fast as might have been
expected, and cannot be stated to exceed e2. 900
AS at least f75,O0O, is wanted TO carry on tho
excavation for the remaining SIS feet, and as
the Directors cannot depend on more than
G2l 900, after having called the whole amonnt
OF their subscribed capital it will be seen there
are great obstacles, in pecuniary point ,jf
view to overcome yet. AS far as regards the
operation of carrying the Tunnel through to the
southern shore, little doubt cxists-Loadon Sun.

The TARIFF BILL was yesterday reported by
the Committee of the Senate with various a.
mendments; among others, one reducing the
duty on molasses to y cents per gallon, and
proposing progressive increase of the duty on
low priced woollens. This is a concession to
the wants and wishes of the Eastern States. re-
curing bill which may be of some use to the
country, which, if carried through, may save the
bill in the Senate. But we have very strong
doubts whether propositions which have been 81
uniformly opposed, and decidedly rejected, in
the shape of amendments in the House, will
meet with better fate there when they shall
come backed by the sanction of the Senate.

MURDER WILL OUT We have been inform
ed within day or two that some operatives
R da fu meaking new road through Birmingham
The discovery has created some sensations. and
people are anxious to ascertain what unfortu-
nate man had fallen a victim to the hand of the
murderer. No person has been missed from
the neighborhood for LONG time. But the sto.
fy goes, that many years ago two men kept n
tavern together not far distant from the sDot
One OF these inn-keepers suddenly disappeared
no one knew why, or whittier he went nor
had he been since seen. Some months after
ms departure letter bearing post mark at
New Orleans, and purporting to have been
written by this lost tavern keeper, was received
by his brother in Boston. Still no positive in
tellgence could be obtained, and no traces of
his having been at New Orleans have ever
been discovered from the date of that letter to
the present day. Since this singular disap-
pearance, the surviving partner, who continued
the business for awhile alone, has been occa-
slonally deranged; and in his seasons of aliena.
ton OF mind he has often proclaimed his own
guilt in numbering his partner But these
confessions, as they now seem to be, attracted
little notice; being considered the mere rayings
OF mailman. The late discovery will proba-
bly, lead to an investigation, and NAV finally
unveil the mystery The above tale we rive as
1t was narrated to us, without having at present
any way to ascertain its authenticity. IF if is
true, 1t must be esteemed a new instance TO H.
lustrate the fact, which people always wish to
believe, that enormous crimes however secretly
perpetrated, will certainly be brought to Hght
and sooner or later meet their due and nerited

SOMETHING NOVEL. The most strange
instance of attachment between animals of
a different species which we ever recol-
lect seeing noticed, occurred lately at Nap
ierville, within short distance of this City,
on the farm of Mr.. JAS J. Newton. A Cow
and Hog which were permitted to range
together, became so enamoured of each
others society that they were inseparaDle-
if dog or other animal disturbed the hoo,
the COW would courageously resent the at
tack on her companion, and the hog in re-
turn fought the battles of the COW to admi
ration. But their friendship was not doos-
ed to be of long duration-for it was shortly
discovered that the hog was in the habit of
sucking the cow, which she permitted with
as much willingness as though he were one
OF her own progeny in consequence, MIR.
Newton found it necessary to sell the hog,
and thus separate, at one fell stroke. the
golden chain of friendship which had SO
fondly bound their mutual affections.

WHALING. Incidents, of nature some
what calculated to exile marvel, frequently
occur among our Cape Horn friends, as they
traverse the illimitable sea, ;" in pursuit Of
spermaceti and whale bone. One or two,
that have come TO our knowledge I'VE will
relate. A large female whale was tackled
to by two of our ship masters, on the off shore
ground, in some part of the Pacific. The
tow iron breaking, the whale made its es-
cape. Eleven months afterwards, the same
whale, with the broken iron in its body, was
captured by one of the captains here alluded
to, at a distance of eighteen hundred miles
from the place where first seen. Some
years ago, in Woolwich bay, Coast of Africa,
young whale came along side one of the
boats belonging to a whaling ship-where-
upon, one of the men in the boat marked the
initials of his name on its back, and then let
it go. Several years after, the identical
whale itself, bearing the seaman's initials,
was taken on the Brazil Bank, and produc-
ed sixty barrels of oil.-.Nantucket paper.
