MANUFACTURE OF CIoARs-The following in
formation respecting Havana cigars, the use Of
which is so general will not be unnteresting -
The greatest manufacturers are Cabanas, Her
nandez, Silva, and Rencareuil, besides hun
dred others Of less note, who make from 10000
10 100 600 day. The cigar is composed of
Two distinct parts, the inside and cover For
these two different inds Of leaves are used of
which the latter is generally finer in texture as
well as more plant Those leaves which are
TO be made on Tuesday, are damped on Monday
evening, and allowed 10 remain SO all night -
and when rolled they are placed on large table
where the, are divided into the various qualities
of first, second, and third, &c. and priced ac
cordingly. Those which are most carefully and
beautifully rolled, are .alled regoiias, and are
sold at %, %, or S26 thousand; while the Sc
cond best, which are of the very same tobacco,
and made by The sa ne man, (only with a Ii tie
less attention 10 symmetry OF form) are sold at
Sl4, others as low as Sc. De Hernandez en-
poys about sixty men in his mandatory or
the best common cigars good workman can
make thousand in a day-oi the regufids 600
so that the daily issues from that immense fab
RIGA are about 10000 cigars, which at Sl4 per
thousand, would give nearly fl00 day. They
pay an export duty of half dollar per thousand,
and an import duty in England Of o. Allowing
for freight and insurance, 90 per cent profit TO
the importer, and ~ more 10 the retailer, the
best Havana cigars should be sold in London at
per thousand, which is lsd per l6, or about
lid piece instead of " hich they gen
orally charged 80 TO 40s, and sometimes 60s, and
from 3d. TO i'd. piece. The very best in quail.
ity do not find their way to Europe, and Tor this
simple reason-they are not fashionable, they
are generally dark -colored, and lighter coored
and smoothly rolled cigar is preferred TO the
strong and highly favored rough looking ones
these in general are the most perfect rode me
cum Imaginable for the medlative Philosopher.
The best tobabco in Havana grows in the Vuel-
ia Abaga, or lower district.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.

Within the last few days a person OF the name
Of Pardoe, upwards of seventy years OF age, has
become an inmate of ST. Giles workhouse, and
the following is tale as related by him respect
ing matrimonial affair in which he had been
engaged: II appears that he is a widower, by
trade shoemaker, and formerly resided at Pot
tersbar, Enfield. Some months ago friend
called upon him, and told him that he knew Of
something which, if he liked 10 undertake the
part required Of him, would be to his pecuniary
advantage He then said that lady, between
forty and fifty years Of age, who lived in Lon
don, had had large sum Of money wied TO her,
but she could not enjoy il unless she married |;
that she had an aversion 10 a married life, but
be lad mentioned Pardoe's name to the lady's
solicitor, who wished to have an interview with
him, and TO make proposition. Pardoe replied
that he was willing TO be engaged in any way,
and having disposed OF what little properly he
possessed, he came up 10 town and waited upon
the solicitor, with whose name and address he
had been made acquainted, and who told HIM
that The lady would marry such a person as
himself, but would not live with him after the
ceremony had been performed, and that he must
Immediately afterwards be ready 10 sign with
her deed Of separation, and concluded by ask
ing him he was willing, on those terms, to be
ibe bridegroom For doing so he should re-
LAVE the sum of f40, and he should subsequent
ly be assisted with money should he require IT,
Pardoe acquiesced TO the proposition, and by APP
pontment went accompanied by an attorney
10 whom he had made known the circumstan-
ces, TO the house OF registrar Of births, deaths,
and marriages, where he found the lady and her
solicitor anxously waiting his arrival, his in
tended bride being closely yelled, which prevent
ed him from having more than an imperfect
view Of her features. A license being provided,
The form OF marriage was gone through by the
registrar, and at It's conclusion, as he had been
informed would be the case, the deed Of separa-
ton was paoduced, 10 which both he and The
lady affixed their signatures, after which, The
lady, wishing him good morning, retired. The
attorney he (Pardoe) had been engaged, handed
him over $40, which he had received on The
part of the bride, from her solicitor, and he has
not since received any communication from the
parties. The above named sum, his marriage
portion, being all expendt d, and being TOO in6rm
TO follow his trade, he was obliged 10 make APP
plicalion TO the parish Of ST. Giles. TO which he
belongs, and the result has been his admission
into the workhouse.-Engiish paper.

TANNERS OF BOSTON & PHILADELPHIA


We ventured, few days since, 10 offer 10 our
readers some remarks upon the difference be-
tween the modes of expenditure in this city,
and those we observed, on recent visit, to ex-
Isl in Boston, with view TO show them how
much more attention is here given to parade and
show, equipages and mirrors occupying the
place, in the list of articles of necessity, that is
there given to books and pictures.
The contrast then presented, was very stri-
king but there is another point in which il is
equally so, viz:--that of the conduct of funerals
aud the other arrangements consequent upon
the death OF friends. In that respect, nothing,
we think. can exceed the simplicity and good
taste manifested in Boston. A few-very few
--of the most intimate friends are invited. The
service Is performed in the house, and half a
dozen OF persons attend the corpse 10 the grave.
Very few persons wear mourning, and none but
those whose relationship is of the most intimate
u ase and hf c isl i bgasusy g0 WIN 81
disappear altogether.
1t is impossible to pass along our streets with
nut being struck with the waste Of time and mo-
ney upon funerals, BY those to whom time is
money, and whose obvious situation in life rem
ders necessary the utmost economy. Half
dozen, and we have seen dozen, hackney
coaches follow the remains OF man whose
greatest earnings have not exceeded five hun
ured dollars per annun; ana ne VINO, WnIle Ivy
ing would hesitate about the price of new
suit, becomes, at his death, and when his serv
ces are lost 10 his family, cause of expend.
ture equal 10 the whole amount OF his earnings
in the previous half year
1t is difficult TO conceive of any thing more
absurd, while nothing could be easier than the
remedy Were dozen respectable families TO
come TO the determination TO adopt the Boston
system, their example would Immediately be fol-
lowed, because it has good sense to recommend
il.

in the higher circles Of Paris as il is said TO
be in those of London.

INSECT REPRIsALs.-A gentleman in Niths-
dale, who keeps several skeps OF bees endeavor-
ed lately TO obtain supply of honey without
killing by smoking, or any other way, the indus
trous insects With this view he procured a
sort Of half cone, and after cutting a small aper-
ture at the top of the lower skrp, placed the one
above the other, with few crossings fixed in
side TO facilitate working, attaching the combs,
and keeping them warm when made. Commu
nication being thus opened between the lower
and upper hives, he. 10 prevent accidents during
windy weather, bound the two together with a
belt of clay THIS operation finished the bees
were lett 10 their own resources until after The
Lapse Of a certain period, supposed 10 be suth-
cient for the deportation of the necessary sweets
The clay was then loosened, and the upper skep
removed, and turned topsy turvy by The side OF
the larger. On examination il contained good
deal OF honey, and great crowd OF bees; but
as they seemed in no hurry TO quit their cells
he deemed il prudent 10 give them little time,
without resortlng, in the first instance, 10 any
more violent measures Of ejectment Accord
ngy, he locked his garden door, and went out
10 take his forenoon ride. While on horseback
he might b. absent two or three hours, and, on
revsitlng the gardens, great was his surprise on
discovering that the bees, on returning 10 their
first quarters, had taken good care 10 carry the
honey along with them, except about the matter
Of teacupful, which would have been secreted
also, had longer time been given. Nothing
daunied by this experiment, but, on the contrary,
amused at he ingenuity Of the reprsals made,
he has affixed tops TO various other skeps, and,
on removing them, intends to blow the insects
out by the kitchen bellows. This may be a very
happy thought and one that BIDS fair TO be com.
pletely successful but, considering how well
bees are armed we confess we would not like

THANKSGIVING HYMN.

From The Commercial Advertiser.
THANKSGIVING HYMN.
Now glory to the Lord on high
Who lives and reigns above the sky
To Him triumphant praise belongs,
To him raise high your cheerful songs.
He sent his word our sires 10 keep,
He brought them Ger the mighty deep,
lie sent his prosp rous gales 10 blow,
The pilgrim May flower" W,stward-hoW
Waited by Heavens still fayoling wind
She left old England's shores beLind,
And bore awsy-fa faith was their guide
To moor their bark by Plymouih's side.
The frighted eagle screamed and scared,
The wild wind through the forest reared;
While all along the bold shore rang
The echo Of the song they sing.
He saved them from their Indian foes,
When the fierce Prqund gains them rose;
lie made the wild Michigan COVER,
And broke the NaIragansel,s power.
When Gallics hosts in wars array,
Arose TO stop their onward way,
The Lord Of Hsts To help them came,
And put the pilgrims foes to shame.
When prosperous peace had blessed them long,
Their nunbeis grew--a mighty throng--
To grind them, IN an evil hour,
The British King arose in power.
They sought I avert the storm, in vain,
There came 10 might across the main
His hosis--his mandates To fulfil,
And bow the rebels to his will
But God once more, came to their aid,
For them his mighty arm displayed;
The veteran bands be put 10 fight,
Their lion skunk back in alright.
Our eagle scared above the sea,
The world beheld our country free;
The pilgrims home beyond the wave
Became the home of fee and brave.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The vast quantity Of labor, sustained generally
by small capitals, but in the aggregate heavy
amount Of capital, constitutes The strongest and
most prosperous portion of our great branches OF
mechanic and manufacturing industry Were il
possible 10 prosecute all the manufacturing bust
ness now conducted BY corporations, with the
same degree Of skill, industry and economy,
which are exercised by individuals in the man
agement Of their concerns, whether commercial
mechanical, or manufacturing, the State OF Mas
sachusetts would have been richer by tens Of
millions, than she is at this moment
With all the drawbacks, however, caused by
on, deficiencies, and the vast sums which have
been lost since the long credit system and the
bad banking systems were introduced-by the
depreciation of currencies south Of New York,
and by bad debts, still, such is The creative pow
er Of industry, sustained by the largest cash ca
pllal in the country, combined with the manual
and moral advantages arising, IN New England,
from the general system of education among all
classes, that this State, and all the New Eng
land States, will continue TO acquire property in
greater ratio than any of the States in the
Union.-Boston Courier.
