A CURIOSITY IN SHAWLs.

The Liverpool correspondent Of the Boston Alta,
states that curiosity in shaals has just been man
uiac,ured at the well known manufacturing town Of
PAISLEY, where the most costly shswls worn by the
English nobility made In I842, when there
was great and general distress in the principal man.
ufscluring districts, and when the people OF Parsley
suffered greatly from the stsgnaiion in the trade Of
the town, her majesty, Queen Victoria, PURCHASED
several Paisley shawis Of high cost, TO patronlze
domtstic manufactures; in consequence OF which
The nobility soon followed the Queens example, and
this single act gave great relief to the operatves
The great curiosity referred TO in ,be shaw trade
ls scarf shawl so constructed that four colors will
fold into twenty different effects either color can be
worn alone, any two together three, or all four acA
cording TO the caprice OF the wearer. Mr. Kerr, Of
Paisley, is the enierprising manufacturer who bs'
accomplished the weaving, in one piece Of this ex'
traordnary shawl, which Is pronounced TO be a scr
enti6c production Of far greater merit than any
thing Of the kind that has appeared in the French eH
position Of manufactures.

The Globe copies from the .'Mississipian" with
laudstory remarks, an adcie assa'ling General
Hamilton, and imputing TO him desire to dissolve
the Union, and asserts that the charge twill be re-
echoed by ten thousand voices at the great mass
meeting which will TO held al Nashville"
That the meeting at Nashville will declare the
charge that the Democratic party wish to dissolve
the Union to be untrue, Is more than probable, be-
cause the use made of Benlon's infamous libel, by
the W hig party, may Iende. il necessary as a means
Of throwing back into the very teeth Of the coalition
the proof that others are the disunionists, and
that the. charge made by Benton and The Gl, be
was deliberately and wiliully untrue go, up the
pretencethe cover for the unnat aral coalition be-
tween Benton and J. u. Adams.
What are the facts Did not John q. Adams and
chs twelve associates" issue their address 10 the
people Of the free States" declaring that the
alton Of TEXAS would be dissolution Of the Union,
and that il was just for dissoIving the Union
And did Col. Benton at the close of his speech in
which he charged that the purpose of those who
made the Treaty Of Annexation was TO dissolve the
Union, embrace John q. Adams on the floor of The
Senate, and did not they then and there pledge them
selves each other devote the rest of their lives to
''preserve the Unions p
What did they mean by preserving the Union ?
MIR Adams has told what he means and his reasons
for il. He means that opposition to xa,ion is
preserving the Union" and that his for u.s.
that annexation will increase the influence of the
slavsholding Staiss!! Cul Benton and the Globe
both say that the fact that the treaty does not provide
for abolishing slavery in one-half Of Texas il
sufficient for its rejection, and yet the Globe
has the inpudence 10 coalesce with John q. Adams
and his declaration Of dsunion-to approve Of his
opposition to the treaty, and Of his reasons for il,
and yet dares to speak ia behalf Of the Democratic
mass meeting, composed it necessarily must be
mostly of slave holders; and to convert in advance,
any resolution mich they may adopt repeling Ben
tons foul slan1er the treaty and the motives OF
those who made it, into an endorsement Of his ca
lumny.
As to the attack on Gen. Hamilton, it is like the
Globe. These who know South Cardinals gallant
son, (and who does notO know the pure devotion
with which he loves his country. The ardor with
which no sustains her institutons-the integrity of
his private as we'll his public life, and the gross
Ecss of the attack, the wanton outrage on proprety

racter of Gen. II. We are neither Disunionst nor

passed the Tariff act Of '42, belongs the honor the

We ask the Express how many of the leading
friends Of Mr. Clay voted for the ''tsrif act" and
how many against it. How many of the Clay papers

belongs the honor the 'Madsonian' claims" Nor
do we understand that paper doing any thing less
mean and dishonorable than attempting, by its reply
