Cashmere Shawls.
Mr. John B. Ireland, ol Neff York, when in Cast) -
mere, a lew years since, visited Mookti Slmh. poo
is the best and greatest manufacturer of shawls In
that city. The factory wus a miserable, dirty
building; the work room measuring about sixty
by thirty leet. Here he found some forty men
and boys of all ages, from six to fifty, arranged In
twos and threes, at ditfereut looms, each one having a loom to himself: for all the most valuable
shawls are Rl&ae iu looms, in small pieces, according to the patterns, and then sewed together. The
pattern is not put in colors ami squares like oiir
patterns of worsted-work for chair backs, seats, or
slippers, but Ibe directions are written. When
tbe patterns are mid.: th-y are all sewed to ere th jr.
At some looms in operation there appeared to be
faur or five hundred small pins of wood, with rolls
of different shades af woollen thread, to be used
in different parts'^ tbe pattern. It was astonishing to see the dex erity with which tbe stnall
childreu worked these haud looms, and understood
their written directions.
Most of the people were at work on a mignifi
cent shawl for the Empress Eugenie of France. It
had a white ground or centre, and would be the
most elegant specimen of cmhmere work Mook ti
Shah ever produced. He told Mr. Ireland that
thirty men had been steadily at work on it for six
months, and that it wouhl require three months
to finish it. That is, 8 "lofl days' work were bestowed
on this oueshawl. Tbe price »hen finished would
be about 1,31)0 rupees, or $650, Such a ebawl
would sell tor about S4,000 iu Loudon or New
York.

Burr, for his political wisdom, nothing else, deserved a monument. He saw that that jargon ol
races in Mexico could not stick together. He af
tempted an invasion, a la Cortez, in 1805, which
would bave made him a hero in 1836V ne was,
allowing (be motive right, just thirty years iu advance of hie time.
Mexico exhibits still the conflict of races Settle
tbat questiou we finally must, with the pen, if
possible, with tbe sword, if compelled.
Nine-lenths of the Mexican nation, according to
Alcedo, are descendants of the Aztecs, whom Cortez conqnered, and of whom his satellites told
Europe that big falsehood, that tbey were civilized-
There is reason to hope tbat Juarez will overcome tbat human beast, Miramon. But tbere in*
little hope that he will be able to maintain a stable government. If he partake largely of Aztec
blood, as is eaid, this hope la faint indeed. The
Aztec race has failed, and done nothing but fait,
since tbe landing of Cortez in 1519.- W. States.

Among (lie distinguished arrivals by one ofthe
recent Bteumera from Europe, is Madame Omar
Pacha, wife ofthe celebrated Turkish cemmander,
■who won so many laurels in SMintria. We understand that she bas come to reside in this country,
at least for tho present. Her history is eome what
rcmarkuble.
She is a native of Transylvania, and at 11 years
of age was sent to school at Ifucharest, where she
<l<2velopeda wonderful genius for music, aod at
fifteen had become celebrated in private circles by
the brilliancy of her performances. Omar Pacha
was at that time Military Commander of Walla-
chia, and meeting tbe young lady at a soiree, was
delighted, first with her music, and thea with her
nmiiK-rs and conversation—became devoted to
her, and finally married her. Notshnring at this
time the Turkish notions about women, instead o!'
shutting up his wife at home, she was allowed to
accompany him iu his military expeditions, and
composed several pieces of military music, which
became favorites with the Turkish army during
the campaign. After the war was over, the Marshal, yielding to more ambitious views, and conforming to the custom of hia country, married the
daughter ol llaliz Pacha, with whom he had maintained political relations, and directed the young
Transylvauian to enter the harem. Tbie, with a
good deal of indignation and spirit, she refused to
do,—but at once sought and procured a divorce
from the Marshal, and some two years since repaired to Paris, where she has since resided. She
has lived eutirely m private, but has published
several very popular pieces of music, and has be.
come well known in the musical circles of the me
tropOMB. She arrived in New York by tbe A»«o
aud iDtendfl to upend the winter there.

It is a singular coincidence, that during the
first campaign of the French Empire, in 1805, in
which the PtetiOb army obtained the appellation
"te grand armee," there were Ihree sovereigns in
the field—the Emperor Napoleon, the Emperor of
Austria, and the Emperor of Russia. On this account, the battle of Ansterlitz was baptized **thc
tattle ofthe three Emperors." In 1839. Napoleon
IU. the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Sardinia, fongbt at the head of their p spective arm

Ossawatomle    Brown—HF*    Insnnlty on   the
Slavery   Q,uestloiw
Ossawatomie Brown, who seems to bave been
the head and frout ot the movement, fiigures not
unexpectedly to usiu tbe purposeless and sense-
lessriot.' Since the death ofhis pOii Frederick,
who was shot down al his own door in Kansas, by
a Missouri mob teufold more revengeful and
bloody than tbat which now fills "Virginia with
terror, and since the old man witnessed, on the
same occasion, the destruction of the property
tbat he had been a linj-'-ime in accumulating, he
lias been a monomaniac. He has supposed him-
selfdivinely appointed to iree all American slaves
by some violent and decisive movement, the na"
ture of which we do not know that he ever revealed. Often, we are told, during the Kansas disturbances, he would retire to a secluded place at a
distance from his camp, and there, to use his own
words, wrestle with the Almighty for hours, to
ng from Him the aid which he demanded (br
the accomplishment of the work to which he
thought himself appointed by heavenly favor.—
His talk (or years to his friends and intimates ha8
been of his commisson sealed with the blood ot
ihe Savior, by which he was directed in the path
that he was about to follow. He entertained n>
doubt that his life wou'd be prolonged until h
could see the shackles stricken off from every slave
in the land; nor has he had a doubt that by hit
agency, as ihe instrument of God, specially entrusted with the work, every bondman was to be
freed. This delusion has bt-en regarded as harmless, and since be passed out of public view, it
has, we suppose, been forgotten, even by his
friends. That be h>8 acted upon the murderous
impalse which the violation of his own household
ri,used within him —that his mania has overpowered his reason, and forced him into lhe commission of a great crime—the history of this Har-
pei'sFerry movement is siiHlcieiu proof. We do
not wonder, knowing Ihem, from the accounts
giveff by others, as well as we do, thai he engaged
in an enterprise ot such criminaliir and folly.—
rt"e are only surprised that he could have found
any white man out of slavery weak enough lo liave
yielded to hii1 crazy suggestions nnd aided him in
his hair-brained attempt- He will doubtless be
called upon to lay down his life in atonement for
Ihe folly, and though our conviction lhat be is
demented is slrenglheiied by this recent event, we
can but say lhat dealh cannol clnimhim too soou.

Etiquette.
The following rules of ettiquette are laid down
by the Southern Journal:
1st. Before you bow to a lady in Ih e street pe-
mil her lo decide whether you may do so or not
by at least a look ol recognition.
2nd. When your companions bow toaladv.you
should do the same. When a getleman bows to a
lady in your company always bow to him in re
turn.
Io giving thero publicity, the Albany Atlas
and Argus makes tbe following timely and
truthful comments:
Nothing is so little understood in America a
these conventional laws of society, so well under
(•Hood and practiced in Europe. Ladies complain
that gen.lemen pass them in the street unnoticed
when, in fact the lault arises from their breach o
politeness. Itis their duty to do the amiable
first, for it is a privilege which ladies enjoy o
choosing their own associates or acquaintances.—
No gentleman likes to risk the ''cut'' in the slreet
through a premature salute. Too many ladies.
it would seem, don't know their trade of politeness. Meeting ladies in the street, whom one has
casually met in company, they seldom bow unless
he bows first; atrd when a gentleman ever departs
whom-the rule of good breeding.escept occasionally by way of experiment, his acquaintances d'j not
multiply, but he stands probably charged with
rudenes. A lady must be civil to a gentleman
ir:to whose company she may casually be placed;
bin a gentlem is not upon this to presume upon
an acquaintiinee.-hii) lhe first lime he afterwards
meets her in the street. If It be her will, she
gives Bome token of recognition, when the geide-
iau may bow ;: otherwise he must prs< ci and
consider himselfa stranger. No lady need hisi-
tate to bow to a gentleman, for he Will promptly
and politely answer, even if he has lorgotteu his
fair saluler ;■ no one but a brute can do othf rwise;
should lie B-JSJ on rudely, his character is declared, and there is a cheap riddance. Politeness
or good breeding is like law—the ''reason ot
things."

" HISTORICAL SKETCH."
'•The explorers of the country a'ong the Mohawk, hfti-iug in their ascent passed lhe hillt
which nearly intercepted the stieam at Llttio
Falls, and approximate it for some distance above,
found that the first landing place, where diverg-
ani roads might b& made, wan al Old Fort Schuyler—now Utica. Tliis circumstance, in connection wilh the country's appearing decidedly favorable to agriculture, iuduced the first settlement
in lhe neighborhood.
The first settlement in the Valley of fh* ltoo»
hawk west of Herkimer, except it few scattered
German lamilies in that vicinity, was made nt
WliilesboroiVgh by Hugh White of Middlelown,
Connecticut, who in June 1784; accompanied by
bis sous, moored hie boat in the rabuth of the Sau-
quoit, aud erected a bark hut On ils bank. He
30011 built a'tbghouse near the srte of the present
residence ot his relict, which is three doors east of
the court hoase. In 1*786 public Worship *as commenced, and the Rev. Jas. Carr,-a Presbyterian
from New Jersey, was the first preacher. The first
framed house was erected in 17881. The first gristmill was erected on the Sauquoit at the preseut
site of Wetmore's. The first mili'iary review.
In 17:10. I-n 1792, when there was no'mail west ot
Caiiiijoharie, a petition was sent from Whitestown
to have the route continued to that place; and
though it was known by the head of the post-office department that the petition emtiuUted from a
highly respectable source, it was not g-rauted. Permission was however granted the petitioners to
transport a mail on their own responsibility in
reference to expense; and this was doue. The
contract for can-yiiig this mail was made December 24, 1792, by Simeon Pool, who carried the first
packet from Whitestown to Cauajoharie en horseback the first FriiJuy in January, tfajk Tlie prico
named in the contract was" £G0, pei* annum, and
the time allowed between tbe two places, 28*
hours; distance about 50 miles. Elizure Moseley
wus appointed Postmaster, April, 1. 1793.. The
above contract passed into the hands o( Jason
Parker. In August 1794, Kiev. Bethuel Dodd, r-
Presbylerian and the first ordained itiiii'-iter, was'
settled, lu June, 1801, the location of tbe court
houseandjail was determined where they now
stand.
Clintpn. a vilage in lhe townshipof PWri's named1
in memory of George Clinton, was settles in March
1787, by eight families from Massachusetts and
Connecticut. No setllemenl had yet been elleclt'd1
west of that longitude in the State. They instituted public worship in the beginning j and* rn August,. I7.'l, a congregational chtirclVot thiry-four
members was formed by Rev. Jonathan Edwards of

first seminary of learning in the Western District,
was incorporated, and lbe corner stone ot tha
bnildintr was hi d by Baron de Slenbcn-.- May 6,
1812. this seminary was erected into lhe collegiate institution ol Hamilton College.
Tbe settlement of New Hartford was commenced
early in 1708 by Jedediah Sanger an agriculturist
from N"W England. The first church here was or-'
ganizCdAugiist 27, 1791, consisting of thirteen
membe*r», by Rev. Mr Edwards before named.—
The first house of public worship erected by tho
New England emigrants, was what is now the
Presbyter fit ii, then Congregational ebiiru, which
was built in 1792. A small elegaut church of
Gothic style was erected two years ago by the
Episcopal church. The Sauquoit creek (described under Ihe head ot statistics) passed through
tnis village—hence an idea of its manufacturies.-
This village with an extended territory, was erect-

of its facilities trom those places.
Utica was tirst permanently settled in 1789*. by
Johu Post, Uriah Alverson, Stephen Potter and
ithers. The forests consisted of beech and maples
and 111 some places hemlock, in which a few clearings were soon made lor (arms. In ffHt, I Wo yearn
alter the commencement of the settlement at Can-
andaigua, Stati commissioners surveyed a road
oute fro'm that place to the mosl convenient
ooint of interscctiou with the Mohawk, wbieh w-as
lound to beat Utica. The cojunc'ticn of an lm-
ant road and river at the head of d-oaf naviga-
, wilh other favorable circumstances, determined nt once, the growth of a village; and on
opening this road in 179C thischVct began to be
isible. In 1794. there were but twenty families
upon the presml teiritory of the town The first
brick building iu Hie village wai-the York House,
a spacious edifice ot three siories, erected in 1797.
This year nnd three or lour succeeding years, tho
increase nf the -.illaee was rapid. The village
wus crilted Old Fort Schuyler, trom a fort, the
uins of which ure slightly visible north of Main
and east ot Second streets, near the junction.—
Its present name was determined by lot, being
drawn from a list ol thirteen narrtes proposed on petitioning for a village charter. Utica was incor-
rated a village. April 3 1798. See laws of New
York, v. 2. c 79, p. 209. The objects secured by
