q The Chinese tailors do not take meas
like the Europeans, though they can make
clothes exact enough to pattern. An
American captain at Canton wishing to
have new coat, sent the proper quantity
of cloth, with an old coat as pattern, to
a tradesman of the place. 1t unluckily
happened that the old Goa: had large patch
at one of the elbows, and this defect was
carefully copied by the Chinese, to the nc
small modification of his employer.

MANUFACTURING SHoE-STRINes.-Me-
chanical ingenuity finds nothing too insig-
niicant to improve upon, if it supplies a
want of humanity IN better or cheaper
manner. Among the enterprises in George
town, Mass, is that of manufacturing shoe
strings. The process is simple, yet requir-
ing quite number of workmen to meet the
demand for the article. The strings are
made from calf-skin and sole leather, the
former costing $50 per thousand, and the
latter $40 per thousand-the quality o. o
stock ranging the prices. They are made
for the Southern and Western market, and
used with brogan shoes, which are so ex'
tensively manufactured throughout New !.
England, in exchange for the breadstuffs in
the South and West. The proprietor has
acquired quite competency within few
wears from his enterprise.

The Duke of Wellington

HIS INCOME, HABITS, &c.-The late
Duke of Wellington held an immense in.
come during life. AS Commander-in- Chief
the Duke was entitled to draw something
over eighty dollars day, or about $4,000
annually; and as Colonel of the Grenadier
Guards, he was entitled to nearly $4,000 a
year more. He drew pension of nearly
$50, 900 annually, and was in possession Of
property given him by the British nation, to
the amount of 100000, or nearly $500,
900. The pension will continue to be paid
to the Dukes two next male heirs, who al
so inherit his large estates and his titles
but most of his Offices and emoluments are
to be scrambled for by the nobility and 9TH
ers; and rich prizes they will be for the
disposal of the ministry.
The new Duke,at the time Of his father
death, was at Frankfort, whence he was
Immediately summoned. He has hitherto
borne the title of Marquis of Douro, and
until the last election he enjoyed seat in
the House of Commons as member of Nor
wich. He is 45 years of age, and bears a
considerable, although not striking, re-
er taken any prominent part in public af-
fairs, nor is he likely to do so. The Dukes
second son, Lord Charles Wellesley, was
with him at the time of his death. He is
A years ofage and has seat in the House
of Commons as member for South Hamp-
shire.
The late Duke'spersonal habits were ex-
tremely temperate, if not abstemious. He
slept little. and whether from old military
associations or for health's sake, used a
hard mattress and camp bed. He appeared
to avoid display in his dress, ,equaipage and
attendants preferring horse exercise to the
state and luxury Of carriage, and even
when increasing weakness rendered it a
task of some difficulty to sit erect rpon
horseback, day after day he was still to be
seen ambling slowly down to the House of
Lords, touching his hat to the crowds as
sembled round the entrance to catch a
glimpse Of the veteran warrior. His house.
hold was said to be model of good order
and good management. He incurred no
debts -; punctual and precise in all his deal
lngs, he was always just, and frequently,
though privately. generous. His Waterloo
banquets, which for many years drew a
round him his surviving companions n
arms in his last glorious field, were the on
ly exceptions to llrs usual indifference tc
display Oa these occasions only the mas.
sive services of plate and priceless china
pictures, statues and all the other favors
honors and presents which had been con-
ferred upon him by the sovereign of Eu
rope, were not inappropriately displayed.

The CROSSING OF THE RIVER AT AUGUSTA
The Savannah Republican is enabled tn
state, that the negotiations, so long pending
on this subject, have been closed, and per.
mission given by the authorities of Augusta
to the Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road
to bridge the river and establish depots within
the corporate limits of the city The Repub-
lican presumes tn It this result has been hls-
tened by the acquisition of ground 1oithout
the limits of the city by the President of the
Company, whercon to erect Il bridge, the pro-
pnsLis for which, were advertised some time
since. Two propositions, says the Repubi-
can, were offered to the City of Augusta by
Mr.. Conner -one involving the payment of
100000, the other of $150,O0O The latter
was accepted, and it gives to- the Charleston
Company the right to establish bridge at
the distance of one block or SOU ire above the
one used with depot. IN chine.
shops, warehouses, SC, Sc, on the bank of
the river on the Augusta side, ut that point. |
The Company has also the privilege of estab
lishIng another depot just about as far distant
from that of the Georgia Rail Road as the
Waynesboro depot will be, and to traverse
the streets between the two depots with cars
drawn by horses, not more than two cars in
any enc train.
1t is presumed that the whole cost of this
connection to the Charleston and Hamburg
Rail Road Company will be about 100000
including the sum paid to the city us above,
(Which is partly in lieu of tolls collected on
the old bndge,) the cost Of the bridge, of the
land which must all be purchased, Of build
ings, &C., &c.
