z The following is from the Lowell journal.
1t is indeed, singular, as that paper say S, that
a President of the United States should suffer
himself to be kept in ignorance of the charac-
ter and resources Of SO important section OF
our country as New England. 1t is more
than singular-it is criminal. Ignorance,
imbecility and credulity are misfortunes in
common men-but in the high and response
ole station Of President Of the United States,
they are deep and dangerous faults:
A correspondent of the Journal of Com
Nerce, in letter from Boston, states that the
President ON all occasions during his late
tour, expressed himself delighted with New
England, and confessed that he had been
hitherto DECEIVED about this part of the
county," We thought as much before.
Though it is rather singular, at least, that a
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, who
is selected by the PEOPLE for his varied
knowledge, and who ought. in order to gov
ern wisely, to be entirely acquainted with tn
varied character Of the people in differen
parts Of the country, should suffer himseift
be deceived on this inlhorfant f,oint!

celyed by designing politicians, who were
willing to sacrifice the prosperity of their
country, aye, of their native State, to effect
their own political ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But the
PRESIDENT has seen with his own ewes. and

MAN UFACTURE OF EARTHEN
WARE IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

In the year 1886, when DR.. Plot publish
ed Natural History of Stafordshire, its ira
hc in earthcnware was very unimportant; be-
ing carried OH only by the workmen them
selves, Or by pedlers who conveyed the pie
ces in baskets OH their backs through the ad-
Joining counties. About the time just men,
toned, )1690) two brothers, named Elers,
came from Nuremberg, in Holland, and set
tied in Bradwell, where they made an i'm
proved kind of Red Ware, and introduced the
art of glazing the vessels by throwing COM
mon salt into the oven at a certain period of
the baking. Every prccaution was used by
the brothers to keep their processes secret;
and 1t is probable that this circumstance,
Joined to the success of the strangers, excl. ed
the enmity andjealousy of their neighh,c,rs to
the degree which obliged them to leave the
country. The pretext assigned fer this per-
secution was the fumes from IT,. cir kilns at
the time of glazing. These fears subsidized,
however, when the process Was continued bv
their successor. This MAJ, whose name was
ASthbury--had it is said, become master of
.ncir secrets by a singular stratagem.-
reignins TO DC OF weak intellect, and assun,-
ing an appropriate vacuity of countenance, he
ootaihed employ ment in the Bradwell works,
and submitted to all the drudgery and con.
tuHieiy thns drawn upon him by his sup
posed rnbecility. By this course of pro-
ceeairg ne was enabled, unsupported, to &C
quire knowledge of all that was done in the
mandatory, and to make models for hi.
own use OF all the utensils. The advantages
OF this method of glazing with salt were SC
apparent, that i'll short time it was very
: generally adopted; and on Saturday, the day
appropriated to this process, the thick fume.

PLANTS.

In plants there is an infinite diversity; |
some require long succession OF ages to
bring them 10 perfection, while others
attain their full maturity in few hours;
some are of immense magnitude, while
others are Of All inferior stature, desccn-
ding by graduation till they become too
minute to be cognizable by the senses.
The mighty baobob Of Senegal, desert
bed by Adanson, whose stem, is IS feet
in circumference, stands stately mOnu-
ment on the face of the earth for many
Thousand years; while the mushroom,
which it much resembles in form, springs
up in day, perfects its seeds, and is
withered to- morrow; and when we carry
our views still farther, into that immense
J profound of minutcness, which has but
of late been partly laid open to us by the
Invention Of the microscope-into the
class of MOSES, which are in some meas.
urc cognlzable by the naked eye--and
still farther, into the more minute class
: lot plants denominated mould, which,
: even in those of the lart est species, are
too small to have their parts cognlzable
by the naked eye, and which, when view
ed by the best microscopes, discover a
series Of existences diminishing by a reg
ular graduation, like stars in the galaxy
i under the best telescopes, till they are
: lost in the in6nity of minuteness, leaving
every reason to believe, that, could the
G Imagnifying powers Of our instruments
Il be augmented a thousand fold, we should
: still find ourselves as far from discover
ing the termination of this series of inf
e mite diminution as we were at the COM
d menccment of our imperfect survey. The
: world that we see, therefore, seems to be
a very small part of that which exists
: our feeble optics are capable of taking II
scarcely a point of that universe which
surrounds US; and our imperfect under
standing can scarcely obtain glimpse
Of that inhnity of objects, however, We
l can clearly perceive the most perfect reg
: ularity and order prevailing in every part

Messrs. b. j. Hays and Sparks according
ly proceeded down to the island Yesterday
noon, and arrested this person, whose name
was ascertained to be John Charles Collins,
in the act of taking his effects ashore, which
consisted OF two large and one small box,
and one large trunk. On the passage to the
city in the steamboat, the prisoner admitted
that one OF the boxes contained jewelry, but
he said that it had been given INTO his charge
by stranger in New Orleans, who intend ed
\ to come on by land.
1 The other box he said merely contained
lchildren's clothing, and the trunk was filled
with his own, ard wife's apparel. On O.

articles stolen from Mr.. Muh; they were al
so identified by Mr.. Read of this city, of
whomthey had formerly been purchased, and
also by the maker of the principal part of
the Jewelry, Mr.. Joseph Deguerre.
The other large box which he said con-
tanned children's clothing was found to be
filled with an elegant assortment of laces,
silks, silk handkerchiefs, silk hose, two rolls
| of blue cloth, barcges, and almost every
thing in the dry good line, probably obtained
| in the same manner as the jewelry. In the
small box we're found all the implements of
a regular burglar, consisting of false keys,
chisels, prizes, dark lantern, pistols with a
variety of other tools and implements. The
large trunk appar emily contained nothin but
wearing apparel, but on diving into it's recess

were brought to light, which also answered

of cholera. On Sunday evening last he felt
slightly ntisposed and took his bed. He
continued unwell, but not at all alarmingly
so until about four O'Clock, p. M. when he
was attacked violently, with the symptom:
of spasmodic cholera. Every thing that
medical skill, and the attention and kindness

but all in vain. He is gone! One of the
best of men, the most devoted public servant
is gone the way of all flesh. He feb vic

such overwhelming weight upon us, that W,
