EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.

We have received description, from
a friend who has returned from seeing the
effects Of a most extraordinary PheBome-
non. which took place in the township Of
M'Nab, by fome unaccountable effort OF
nature. The letter is dated some weeks
ago. and has only now reached as. The
cause Of delay, we do not know.
There has been about eight acres Of
land suddenly removed from lis pristine
position. and thrown almost in q com
pact body into large bay OF the MAZDA
wasca river, most Of The trees standing Ia
their natural position, and now forming an
island, the distance which il was removed
being about half mile. The breach OF
chasm from which il was thus violently
removed, is about one hundred and fift,
feet deep, quite perpendicular, and repre-.
sents semicircle, - the shock was altoge.
Their local. bat so powerful as 10 cause
the fish to be thrown out of the river
upon the bank. II was not occasioned
by the action Of water, the soil being
perfectly dry. and no appearance of mois-
ture oil any kind; neither was there any
earthquake. But on coming within twen-
~ yards Of the lower extremity OF the
chasm, strong suIpburic flavor proceed
ed from IL, but 10 not so palpable on
getting a ftw yards within the breach
this has been remarked by several geo.
pie. Considerable damage was done 10
timber that was lying 10 the bay.

formed that the family was invited 10 a

being requested, changed my clothes

young lawyer then rose and addressed the
company very handsomely, and finishing

tanning leave he proposed
That one man in the company should
be selected as President; that this pre-
sident should Zoe duly sworn to keep en-
tireIy secret all communications that should
be forwarded 10 his official department
that night; and that each unmarried gen.
tleman or lady should write his or her
name on piece Of paper, and nnder II

the result and those who had not been
reciprocal in their choices were kept en-.

After the appointment Of the President
communications were accordingly handed
up to the chair, and it was found that 10
young men and ladies' had reciprocated
choices. hut whom they had chosen re.
manned a secret to all hut themselves and

/" But we can assure Mr.. Rypcrcritic
that what he terms violations Of rood wri.

cuructes. An editor is like goose in some

would be willing to save Rome at anv

not Mr.. Hypercritic know that the .mo9 !,

nominaiise case before the editor gets 70
the verb, and that. unless he goes out
collecting be never knows the i,osscssiye
from the objective case, and often. when
he calls on bis patrons, is under mistake
IN relation 10 these, and finds. when he
looks for the pnssessive, he gets nothing

who visited this country with view 10 decide
upon allowing younger brother 10 emigratc
hrheF, thus speaks Of Lowell, in Massachusetts /;
The FEMALES engaged in manufacturing AMOUNT
TO nearly 5000 and as we arrived al Lowell
on tho afternoon Of Saturday we had an oppor.
tunity OF seeing those connected with some Of the
largest cotton factories retiring from labor. All
were clean, neat aud fashionably at,ircd. with
reticnlcs hanging on their arms, and cslashes on
their heads. They commonly walk arm in arm !.
without displaying ievity. The renerai nps ar.
ance and department was such that few British
gentlemen in the middle ranks Of life need have
been ashamed Of leading an, Of them 10 tea
party. Next day being Sunday, we saw the
young females belonging to the factories going 10
church IN their best attire, when the favorable
impressions OF the preceding evening were not
eHaced. they lodge, generally, in boarding
houses, and earn about S. Cd. sterling per W cek,
independent d board serving girls earn Is. Cd
Ihe recent introduction oflarge manufacturing
establishments, thin population and ample re-
ward Of labor, account for the apparent comfort
and propriety Of the Lowell young women The
SITUATION OF the manufacturing class in Britain is
very different nurtured amidst poverty and vice
they toll m crowded and univ holesome factories
from Infancy, often disrcgarded by parents aud
employers, and attaining maturity ruined in con.
sttution and morals, with few Of the sympathics
Of humanity.
us Vhiage may De taken as an Instance Of
the giant strides by which the United States are
advancing to greatness, and the unreasonable
water power nature has lavislied on them. The
canal supplies more water than the present ma
chlnery requires; and, after inspecting the snr-
plus ~ the canal aud rivers, ] am Of opinion there
Is water enough TO propel nearly one hundred
tunes the machinery at present employed. aud
winch might employ population OF upwards of
a hundred thousand souls
Britain ssaid to owe much Of her greatness Ia
the supply Of coal with which she has been hIes-
sed bnt however extensive and available il
may be, the water power OF the United States
viii exceed it IN cheapness and magnitude. The
price OF labor is, and will be likely 10 continue,
nuch cheaper IN Britain than in the y. States,
which seems the only circumstance that can al
tlma'ely give superiority to the manufactures
Of the former.
