Haven Coui fer of Monday contains in. teresling of the clock factory of Mir. Jerome in that city. This establishment is of the mos extensive of ihe kind in the Cned States. On entering, our ears were greeted with the min gled hum of buzz saws, the thunder of two powerful steam engines and the chatter of machinery. Our attention was first drawn 10 the saving works, by which the cases cut and fitted us Il by magic Board. the rough state cut in propei lengths, for the front, sdes top and bottom of cases. These again subject 10 the action of finer saws, and Cut in perfect order for being matched and pat together other smoothing or le,elling process is used ex- cept what these saws accomplish.
 Mahogany logs and blllets are reduced to veneer ing with the quickless of thought; and this alone o a II the wood work about clock, IS smoothed, in any way remodelIed after being from the unplan. ed timber. The yeneerng, which is principally oi mahogany, rosewood and black walnut, is taken, af ter being glued to the different parts composing the Case, to Il sel apart for the purpose, in which are employed al this branch some eight ten hands and there receives an even surface and six coats oI varnish, which, when finished, will compare in ee- sance with the finest articles oi furniture in the cabi- net ware-rooms of our city
 The movements all cut in proper forms and sizes by dies, wth great precision and rapidiiy, 10 the pivot holes in the plates, winch have before been drilled. The cogs in the wheels, tie second minute, and hour stops, are grooved out by the same rapid and sklu process. The posts, pins and smali pieces of the inside work al turned from the more rough material. polished and fms ed at the same time while the plates and wheels cleanced and polished by rinsng first in strong solution of aqua forts, and then in pure water.
 We cannot describe minutely the whole process oi making a clock, or the life like movement oi the machinery; it would take time and space than at present devote to this purpose. In short, the case, movements, plates, face, Slc, which, when put together form one of Jerome ce ebrated Rrass eight day cocks,' go through some fifty different hands before completed. One man put together about seventy-hve movements per day, while every part, from the first process 10 the finishing, goes with equal rapdy.
 We learn from him, that the greatest bulk of clocks which lie anticipates making this year are designed for European markets, and that he las already ceiyed orders from houses in London and Birming ham, England, large house in Scotland, and also some extensive dealers m Canada. In fact, the Yankee clock is becoming general favorite in Eng land, almost entirely superseding the old Dutch clock, which has been long usedthere a lime piece. He yearly consumes ihe various articles used in | the manufacture of clocks the following enormous quantities.
 800 ,O00 feet pine lumber; 200, ,0OO feet mahogany and rosewood veneers 200 of iron for weights 100 900 lbs, of brass; 300 casks naiIs 500 boxes | of glass, 50 feet ner box; ,500 gallons varnish l50O0 lbs wire; 100000 lbs. glue; 30, 900 looking gla.s plates.
 S2,40O are paid yearly for printing labels, and for | screws, saws, coal and oil.
 Workmen employed, 75; paid wages yearly $30, > 900; clocks made per day, 200; year, 50, 900. The seizure of vessel be longing to the colony of Lbera by British cruiser, tho ground that the colony recognised by any nation as an inde. pendent power, has excited some indignation in the | northern cities. Liberia is establishment got m by private individuals and associai ions-tle govern or being appointed by the American Colonization Society. Neverlhe less, it has dome and was able n the lapse of time do more for the suppres. sion of the slave trade than all the posts, garrIsons and colonies, established by the British government | on the coast of Africa-combned with the exertions of all the English cruisers. What could have indu- ced the attempt 10 destroy the Liberian establIs,- ment, il is hard to divine, unless Ii he that the En- glish desire to monopolize ihe whole trade of the coast to themselves. They think that Liberia, il sui iered 10 grow to maturity, nght take off some of the profits which they wish wholly approprate them- selves, and losing sight oflhe slave trade, which they profess to hold in much abh"re nee, they de- termined to destroy the people who nslru- mental than themselves in putting stop 10 that lraf | fic.
 It seems strange want of magnanlmity in lhe British govei nnen permit its officers tranple on colony which is really engaged in the very busi ness which it proiesses to have much heart. One would infer from thus conduct of England towards Braril, in relation to the slave trade, ,,tat Liberia would be precisely that spot of earth that she would be most eager and anxious to pI otect. Sine infics dggressIons upon Brazil, to which that power cannot laely submit, because Brazil insisls upoR conducting | the slave trade in her way; and the same Eng land annoys Liberia, which is the place the Afrl- can coast that is doing more against the slave trade than all the and associations appertanng to all the rest of the word.-IN.

 THE CHAsM OF THE AUsABLE.-This grand and beautiful work of nature is formed by the pas sage of the Ausable, in it's wandering course from the Eastern declivity of the Adirondack mountains to the Western shore of Lake Champlain, through vast stratum of rock which period of lime seems 10 have been rent asunder by some mighty convulsion of nature, there forming the more impos- ing feature of the chasm about 10 describe.
 At the small village of Birmingham the river changes the course from east 10 north, and rushes headlong down a decvity of 80 feet, over irregular and shelving rocks, into the stupendOus ciiasm be- low, the spray rising in curling wreahs and losing
 itself in the groves of the pine aud cedar which adorn its banks. It then passes on in deep and boiling, yet almost noseess current for more than a mile through .hIs wonderful natural pass, which
 
 through the whole of it's course rises like nigh " walls perpendicuary from the bed of the river to the height of l30 feet.
 The iccess to this sublime scene is by rude staircase, descending nearly 100 ieel parallel 10 the line of the cbasn through deep rent in the rock. 8 feet wide, which leads 10 large fiat rock al the level of high water. Here the scene breaks with all it's maJesiy and grandeur upon ihe beh0der The deep and rapid river, eddyng and boiling in it's onward course, and the mighty wall which rises on either side far above the specnlor, here juttug in craggy grandeur over his head. and there descen,l- ing perpendiculary the bottom, beautiful by the appropriate drapery Of nature, the evegreens which have taken root in the creviees of the rocks, the whole crowned by the majestic cedars which inter- lock their branches from the opposite sides of the clasm, anosl excluding ihe light of the sun. form rich subject for the pen of the author and the crayon of the painter.
 Such scene is certainly better wor,h 500 lies journey than the magnificent scenery of the Hudson is worth voyage across ihe Atlantic; and although not extensively known ii is the lavorite resort, dur ing the summer season, of pic-ncs and parties of pleasure from many parts of Eastern New York, and even from Vermont. It has of late become more in- ieresting from the melancholy associations connect ed with it in the fate of the Rev. P. Dyer, of White hall, who while a visit to the chasui, in atempt- ing to a narrow part, very precarious sup- port, was precipitaied into it and drowned. This interesting spot is situated near of the routes from Port Kent to Keesvle.
 THE ALLIGATOR PoHD AT KURRACHEE.- In this pond about fifty allIgaors are kept, several of which are more than twenty feet long. These animals are accounted sacred, and the pilgrims must offer goat to obtain sight of them and to satisfy .l.u rt,st
