We have inwhMtd much gratification

*nJ »r irr perfectly awt.sbc d Urnl it i* d**
tined to be of greet public utility to cheapen
ing the price of those aiticks which arc in
use by all classes of society, and win, at the
same time be a source of greet profit to the
ingenious mechanic who invented. We have
no means of ascertaming tbs precise amount
of labor and expense which this machine will
save, but we venture to hazard an opinion
that a ifian and two apprentices will a.-cotn*

any sort of sawing that is usually done by
hand or cross-cut sawing. Too ants, mitn.
joiiits, kc. are cut with the greatest precision
In all sorts of paanehwork and small fram

adapted to sawing regular sod eccentric cir

brushes ; and it saws chair tops anJ veats witt
great accuracy with a bevil. Each segtnem

was (said the honorable lorn die r, slapping
the table with huge force) another man whom
I shall Dow rite, and if three ever a at a thing
known which would make • naan hale hu
name, the evidence which be would now
bring forward, out of that man's own mouth,
ought to have that effect. After using every
argument that ingenuity, truth, reason, or
justice, coukl inspire him with, against the
uoion—after dei lariug the law by which it
wss effected, to be one which wisdom, honor,
and justice combined to re|>udiate and to dis
claim, the person to whom he referred, said,
“ For my own part, I will resMt this iniqui
tous measure to the last drop of niy blood,
aud to the last gasp of my existence, and when
the period ol my dissolution approaches, I
will, like another Aiaiicar, take n»y children

eternal hostility against the invaders of my
the country’s freedom.” (Cheers.) Such was
declaration of the man to whom he alluded.
And where was that man ? Was he alive ;
Was he an exile from his injured, his deplor
ed country ? Ilad he fled the scene of her
sorrows, and hid his head in a foreign clime;
What! was it possible ! Did he perceive that
man in the present lord chancellor of Ireland ?

PRAYER OF THE F.MPFKoit OF CIUN %
FOR RAIN.
On the 31st of May last, an oflbrutl p*.
per was published by the Emperor at th.ru,
lamenting the waul of ruin He had pi- '
v iously directl au-ruit.es to tbe gutla, and
“devoutly knocked his head on the ground."
but without effert •• Ilia seorching satiety
had continued night and day, and hour after
h«nir. he looL-d earnestly for rain, but noon
h:td failni ’• lit. “had turned Bis thought*
iu upon himself, and hi* government," but
had found nothing smiw." “His own con
durt,” hr says rather proudly, “ ought to have
induced a sweet harmony between the rain
Neunng clow.U above, and the pan bed earth
below, but this bad not been the rfleet ;»* and,
therefore, mi hh olfirud paper, the Kmperor
directs “ a mitigation of punishment for con
victed persons m the province of Pckui. („*
cept for great crimes,”) anJ orders that “ac
riwe.l |mtvki« should be brou-ht to a speedy
and fair trialthat *• imprisoned w itnesse*
should lie at once confronted with the oppo
*«te parties, or be %«t at liberty oh bad;" and
(hat “ all smaller offences l« unnmdiatcly dis
posed of and the parties liberated." “Thu*
(he a<lds) wn may hope for timely, genial,
and fructifying showers, b t the Criminal
Board mwucdiately obey (heso commands._
Respect this."
Thb last contrivance was as incfTcctual a*
all that had preceded it. The drought was
severe; and continued still for many weeks.
The Emperor, Rings and Prinres “Tasted and
prayed once in seven days, before altars dedi
cab-d to the gods of hewvrn, the gods of *h«*
earth, of the year, of the land, of the grain,
and finally to imperial heavan itself, and also
to imperial earth,—with all tb« saints." Ilia
Majesty, moreover, rent a King toTae Shan,
| "thegreat mountain," inShangtung province,
l w itli I ilierian matches, to pray ftir ram in
( the l.itijK-rm ’» stead. Rut ail was of no avail,
and at last on the *j;.ib of July, the Emperor
. oliered up the following :
, P**Tk* rna asm, tcrilUn ky kij Imperial .*W
jtfty, Thom kv»n^, ami ojjtrtd up om Uu 'Jflh

I “ Kneeling, a inrmonil hereby presented,
j to cause affair* to be heard.
“ »>U, Alas ? Imperial Heaven, were not tl»o
; world afflicted by extraordinary changes, I
i would not dare to prevent extraordinary »er
i vices. But tins year the drought is most un
usual. Summer is past, and no ram has fallen.
| Not only do agriculture, and human being*
tcel the dire calamity ; but beasts and insects,
herbs and trees, almost cease to live.
" I. the tniaisterof llraven, am placed over
; mankind, and am responsible for keeping th«
I world in onl* r,—arid tranqmlicing the peo
ple. Although it it now impossible for axe to
sleep or eat with composure ; although I am
scorched with grief, Mid tremble with an*w
| ty ; still, after all, no genial and copious show
i era have been obtained.
“ Some days ago, I fasted, and offered rich
j sacrifices, oa tlw altars of the gods of the
I land ami the grain ; and had to he thank
ful forgathering clouds and slight shower* ;
but not enough to cause gladness.
“ booking up, I consider Uiat Heaven's
heart is benevolence and love. Tbe sole cause
■ is the daily deeper atrocity of my stue ; but
I little sincerity and little devotion. Hence I
i have been unable to move Heaven's heart,
and bring down abundant bksssiog*.
“ Having respectfully sc arc bed live record*,
I find, that in tbe *J4th year of keenlung, my
imperial grandfather, tbe high, honorable,
and pure I'.mpcrur reverently performed a
‘ a great snow service.’ I feel impelled by
ten thousand considerations, to look up anil
, assail heaven, examine myself, ami consider
; my errors ; looking up, and hoping that I may
| obtain pardon. I adc myself,— whether in su
i cnlicial services 1 hate bccu disrespectful*
