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.

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.

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. PULU! PULU! THE DEMAND I'UK THIS ARTICLE Off BEDDING K increasing more than ten fold every year.

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 ns, and their first grand engagement will probably be called "the battle of the three sovereigns/' NATti-iur.

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. —Chicago Press and Tribune Oct. 19.

A correspondent of the Ariw York Post writes: Sumner is still bathing at Frascati, near Havre, and is expected in Paris daily. Charlotie Cush man and Miss Stebbins left here a few days sii;ce,- on their way to Rome, via Switzei land. Mr. Preston, our Minister to Spain, bas been here some weeks buying furniture for his palace (§6000 a year rent.) at Madrid. Senator Benjamin and Arnold Harris are also here ; you know why belter than I do. Mr. Murphy, our late Minister at the Haiiue. has gone to lhe baths of Aix la Cbapelle with Mis. Murphy, whose eyes have been so seriously affected during her residence at the Hague/ as to endanger her sight. I am told that a residence there has had a similar etlect upon oiher Americans.

Mr. Spence has b"en passing the Rummer with his family in joint occupation with our Minister at Brussels, General Fair and family, ot a house at Spa. Senator Seward has gone to Egypt. It is a very bold step, at least so it is considered iu Paris, for an American to make su h an expidition so early in the season, and more or less anxiety will be lelt about him until heard from.

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." .— -%.++..

The Utica Telegraph is puolisliing exfrticts from** the first directory published in that city in 1828. These extracts show the extraordinary growth of the Empire Stale. A little more than half a century ago Western New York wus a wilderness, and the population or the entire State in 1809 586,756; now it numbers nearly four millions.— The follow!"oft are the extracts alluded to:— " 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 Connecticut. Tiiey bn!lt a house of worship in 1796. In 1793. Hamilton Oneida Academy tho 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- d into a town in 1827, retaining ils assumed1 lame. I liave given the above sample sketches of a few leading facts of the priority in tbe arrangement, bi-cause the first dates claim il; and because .*arly settlement ot Utica it drew some 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 charter were not extensive. A fire company was formed and an engine purchased. April 9. 1805, another charier was obtained, extending the powers of the corporation. Ai ril 7, 1817, a char- s made, which separated Utica f.om Whites- town, and constituted ita town. This charter was amended in 1827. eularging the powers 0/ Ihtt corporation, and lorming the village into four wards, lhe dividing lines of which arethe centre of Gennessee street and the centre of the Erie Canal.

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.
