Air. Snowduu—“Citizen” agrees with me,
that our Town has great natural advantages^
that it does not prosper as it ought—that this is
our own fault—and that Manufactures would,
beyond doubt, be of great advantage. .But then
he enquires, what are our meant, and how
have these means been heretofore employed?—
Who are the persons to whom we are to look lor
the establishment of Manufactures?” *» Manu
factures would be of great advantage,” he adds:
But Commerce is al*o necessary to give effect
to Manufactures: both require capital, and how
it this to be obtained?” This he thinks the im
portant question, and he wishes roe to solve it.—
Now it is not to be expected that one old man
should have the whole burden of planning and
executing the means of our prosperity. I pro
posed this subject to be discussed, with the hope
that abler bands would take the laborious part
of it, and »t least assist me by proposing plans
instead of questions. 1 do not say this because
1 am offended with the mromunicatioo of “ Ci
tizen.”—Far from it. His questions are very
proper, and very properly put But I mean
this: that I consider this a partnership business,
and expect those who write upon it to suggest
plans, or some improvement of plana suggested.
But, to go on: l am far from the folly of under
valuing oof merchants. Nobody knows but 1 am
one, or have been one, myself. Every body
knows that the prosperity of a town depends
rriocipallv upon the enterprise of its merchants.
would not, therefore, withdraw one copper from
proper mercantile pursuits. But we have many
persons engaged in traffic among us, whose time
and talents might be more usefully employed —
Now, suppose each of our merchants employed
only so much ol his capital in setting up uwinv
and furnishing materials to as many weavers of
cotton goods, as he now assists with means to
conduct these little shops;—how many idle per
sons would be usefully employed—how much
monev that is now sent to the North would be
kept in useful and constant circulation among
ourselves—and what a vast improvement should
we witness in the moral character of our com
munity. L<*t no man hastily ridicule the sug
gestion. In the City of Philadelphia, I am cre
dibly informed, thousands of families ore sup
ported by the Loom. A poor weaver applies to
a merchant for employment: he furnishes him
wi*h a loom, which costs him about &10, and
materials dor his work: the weaver returns to
him at the end of the week with his cloth, for
which he is allowed the market price: and in a
little time he has paid for his loom, and is able to
Tor JumselTt A7f industrton* weaver, it is said,
will earn a dollar a day. When I was in Phila
delphia last, which is some years bygone, I was
toiil that there were probably 10,000 of these
weavers, then iu the city, earning and circulating
every day. SI0.000. Suppose we had one thous
sand here, and they could easily be had, eveu
that w»uld give a new face to our affairs. There
is one plan— and that only in one branch of bu
siness.
Rut I should like to see our citizens act with
concert in this business. This way of mine may
be impracticable. 1 do not know that it is the
best. Let some one show that it is not the best,
if he can, and propose some other. • But where
is the rapital? In our pockets. Where did we
find capital to make a road? or a canal? or to
build a boat. You say these are done by^tock
companies. Very good; and can’t' we form
a stock company to establish Manufactures,
among us? We have means enough, I am very
confident. I have a little—it is but little; but,
little as it is, I will cheerfully join my fellow
citizens in using part of it in any well-advised
plan of establishing Manufactures* among us.

Prince William County, June 23, 1833.
lf« _Wktla rna/linnr rmir ninur mf
by the btmmjui etiusion or a Prince William
Bard; and as the unity and ingenious poet has
- condescended to select the sportive conduct of
so humble an individual at myseif, as tbe theme
of his minstrelsy, I presume you will injustice
afford me room in jour columns for a remark or
two.
The arg'imentum which the Poet has so hap
pily ornamented, in his own peculiar atjle, maj
be thus briefly stated:—A few dajs after the oc
currence of the Randolph affair, I came to this
county on a visit to a young gentleman of my
acquaintance. The neighborhood being dull at
that time, the idea suggested itself to my friend
that w e might amuse ourselves a day or two by
introducing and personating the character of a
gentleman styled by **Q Z.” Bob Randolph;
and he made the proposition to me to become the
actor or the play, while he was to discharge the
arduous duties of Manager to the same. I at
first objected; but having had my acruplea re
moved by his arguments, we immediately enter
ed upon the duties assigned ut. Now, whether
the farce went off with spirit or not, is not for us
to sav; but refer to the excellent taste of “Q.
Z”
It is unnecessary for me, sir, to attempt a re
♦ view-of the poetry of this rising genius, or to
point out the prominent beauties of his produc
tion: such as six feet high—homespun breeches—
rusiv hat—dollar shirt—borrowed horae—black
stock, Sic. Ac., as the good taste of our enlight
ened community will readily distinguish them.
Nor do I conceive myself, sir, at all obligated to
give the public an exposition of -my political
creed because I wore a pair of shoes' which the
oes, nor enter into an
ry »♦ Q. Z ” upon th*
resident's nose or any
q be disappointed up*
can ral/ say I am sor
7 for it; bat that I cannot think it expedient at
pretent to trumpet forth to the American people
the political views and sentiments of so ioaport
mt a character as QuiZ. In conclusion, allow s
me to say to 4* Q. Z.” that if he cannot laugh t
and be merry at a joke, even at his own expense, <
we hold ourselves ready, (as we are still near t
him) at a moment’* warning, to treat this sub- I
ject and himself in the roost serious manner. J
We are, Mr. Editor, much obliged to you for i
your time and trouble so cheerfully bestowed up
on this vexed question; and, to relieve you of |<
further trouble, permit me to suggest to 44 Q- 1
Z.” the very great propriety of communicating his '
views of the case to me in propria persona.

•^•CRUDEN’S CONCORDANCE.
' To Mr. Thomas Wahdle, Bookseller, Phila
sorry to find that the New York
a^e^j^tYate London edition of Cruden’s Con- |
cordanc^has put forth in a public advertisement,
that your edition of this work is incorrect, and
that his is a 44 correct edition.” This agent is ;
hardly aware that the London edition, which you -
followed in size of tvpe, form of page, &c. was
carefully collated with other editions, and that
not less than seven thousand gross errors were
corrected thereby in your edition. If with a
knowledge of this fact he has ventured upon such
an allegation, it can only be to disparage your edi
tion in the American market, and to endeavor to ,
substitute what he misnames a 44 correct edition. ”
But the gentleman has overshot the mark sadly ,
in giving such an asiurance; for, upon a cursory
examination only of his “correct” London edi
tion, I have discovered more than two hundred
important errors in a smalt portion of the work,
and this without reading by your edition, but;
merely revising by the corrected copy which was !
used by your stereotyper. It is therefore fair to
presume that a more accurate examination would
furnish many more errors. At my leisure I "ill I
make a further examination, as I feel myself im
plicated in the censure of the New York publish-'
er. You' shall then be furnished with a ** black !
list” of the errors of this boasted “ correct” edi- j
tion, wnicn you may exiuuii wmuhiwc.u ,
please; and perhaps it would not be amiss to get j
a certificate of the existence of the errors I shall !
have to point out: in the mean time, you have my j
permission to publish this letter, if you think it
will have the effect of disabusing the public mind
in regard to the unjust charge which has been
brought against your valuable woik, which, you
niav be assured, is *• the most correct edition of

The Cholera has«been on the increase in our
ill-fated city for several weeks past—it spares
neither old nor young, rich nor poor—almost all
fall victims to its rapacity— like a thief in the
night it attacks, and generally succeeds in carry
ing off its victims—and medical aid is almost
tried in vain—but we hope the heavy rains which
have fallen for the last two days will have a ten
dency to check, if not entirely disperse this dire
ful malady. The number of interments in the
Catholic and Protestant Burying Grounds for the
two last days, are as follows:

Anecdote of Spurzheim—It is a curious fact
which we learn from a note to Spurzheim’s Phy

that the deceased Philanthropist, when he (isited
the prison at Hartford last tall, pointed out the
two men * ^ became the leaders in the late con
spiracy and murder, aa very bad criminals. Or.
Brigham, who was in company with him, says:—
♦•The negro, Caesar Reynolds, who, from the
testimony, it appears, actually committed the
murder, he noticed when at some distance, and
remarked,—* that negro interests me much,* and
begged the liberty of examining bis head minute

best formation intellectually of any negro he ever
saw, (and he is far superior to most blacks,) but
he was a wretched and dangerous man, capable
of doing any wickedness, and one that wrould
persevere in iniquity.

' THE CHINESE EMPIRE.
We hare been much interested In the discus
ion going on in the English periodicals in rela* i
ion to the project of opening t«Mhe British mer- i
Hants generally, the trade of Clmu. Wf pre- <
ume it will reault in the abolition of the East
ndi* Company’s monopoly. TheJf 11 notA*
nore remarkable nation than thia of China. Ao
roroehse population has been restrained in its
knowledge, pursuits, and liberties for thousands
>f years, while that of other countries, either by
;he results of circumstances peculiar to the con*
Jition of the human race, or the natural inter
course growing'up among contiguous territories,
nas gone forward in civili/.alion, improved in the
irts, and become the recipient of religion and
law. .
There are eighteen provinces in China, con
taining a population of 367 millions, which makes
an average of 268 persons in every square mile.
The Chinese geographers have never had any
ideas of tabular statistics, and the inflammation
which induces us to believe in the immense nu
mercial strength of China, is derived from the
statements of the missionaries and ambassadors
who have in modern times “penetrated the in
terior, in spite of the rascally postmasters.’
Our readers may imagine the vastness of an
empire, nearly 4000 miles long and 2000 wide,
with a surface of square miles equal to one tenth
6f that of the whole land and water of the globe.
The Chinese call their empire the centre of the
world, and according to Maltbrun consider other
countries as mere stripes on the borders of their
own territory.
The city of Canton is nearly in the latitude of
Colcutta;*and P^kin* in that of Madrid. The
taxes are levied in money and in the produce of
the land—50 millions of dollars in the ODe, and
10 millions in the other. The rate of direct tax
alion is small, but the exactions of other kiuds
are enormous.
An aristocracy, happy in b*’ing the agents of
despotism, exercise a tyrannic sway over the peo
ple, and bask in the sunshine of the supreme au
thority. All possibility of social combinations,
either in relation to law or religion, is prevented
bv a remarkable circumstance,, the written cha
racter ol their language This, by its arbitrary
construction, often preventing any vocal expres
sion of its meaning, makes the language not only
•liffir-ult hut iinrninmunicahle.
Maltbrun thinks that as it doe* not permit the
imagination or feelings to be aroused by symbol*
addressed to the eye, and but fliose only affect
ing the memory, it totally prevents any thing like
combination; or even sympathy, and that thus it
affords a perfect safeguard to despotism. A
Chinese poem, to be sublime, must be written in
characters that cannot be pronounced!
Only imagine this principle for a moment, to
exist in our own language, and what would be
come of those impassioned anti eloquent appeals
which bards and orator* address to us, melting us
topi'v or waking u- V- rage!
In the purely mechanic arts, in anv process of
manipulation, the Chinese are unrivalled. Look
at the tovs, the Ians, the card cases, the jupan
work they send us, and it is evident that the
elaboration of industry, surpasses that of intel
lect.
.in an nutmfni. -s... concerned,
in all attempts at production where philosophy is
to be called in, they are far behind Europeans.
Their ships are wretchedly built and managed,
their fortifications are puer le, and much in the
style nt their paper lanterns. A broadside from
the Alceste made sad havoc among the batteries
of the Yellow Emperor, and extinguished the
boasted courage ot tnuny an egotistical Manda
rin with his button and an umbrella.
The locks upon their canals are wretched con
trivances, their paintings are a satire upon per
spective, their theatres an hypeibnle of action, a
concentration of ages in an hour, a mummery of
jugglery and nonsense; their education is defi
cient, their probity a dream, their morals a fic
tion! And yet the Chinese have made them
selves important to all nations.
From the year 1634, when the first English
ship visited China, to the present day, she has
had the nations of the world her willing tributa
ries, trading under restrictions that make a mock
ery of civilisation. China abounds in minerals
and metals, and yet the Utter are in such insuf
ficient quantities that she purchases them readily
from the shippers who 6end them to her ports.—
So with com and wheat, although raised in large
quantities, they are not equal to the demand, and
therefore neither port duties nor port charges are
exacted from the ships that bring cargoes of these
articles.
In the 18th century half a million of pounds
of tea were exported from China, now 50 mil
lions are annually exported.
- Formerly much bullion and specie were sent j
there, but now it is tho reverse. On. referring
to Anderson’s Commerce we find that in 1785, 6
and 7, two millions or the precious metals were 1
sent from England alone to that country In i
1830 and 1831, England received from China'
2j millions sterling! A part of this lias been on
account of the American merchants, who have
been lately in the habit ofeending furs and san-'
dal wood to Canton, aod remitting to England, i
where they purchase cargoes for home consump- \
lion.
It iacalculated that the opium (of which the
Chinese are remarkably fond, and which is smug
gled by the Europeans into the Celestial Empire,}
pays for all the tea brought to Europe!
The Monopoly enjoyed by the East India Com
pany has drawn the attention of (be English people
to the subject of the China trade, and it is to be
expected that it will be thrown open to individ
ual enterprise, as we have already stated- Bri-1
tish calico, cotton twist and broad cloth, says a
London paper, are doing wonders! Advertise
ments have already been posted in the Ncftthern •
cities of China, calling on the people to trade
with the English. There are two English news-'
papers, and one American, now published regular
ly at Canton.—In the interior, insurrections are
breaking*out of an alarming character, because ,
the people have not had the liberty of trading aa
they wished. Under this view of the case, it j
strikes ua that, if the trade of China is opened, '
it will be very important for our commercial in
terests to prepare themselves fora strong com
petition. American enterprise, “cotton twist
and calico,” mutt do their best; and if our manu
factories are not defrayed by injudicious- legis- :
lation, we may be -vast gainers by an increased ,
trade with this fertile and populous country.

THE PRESIDENT AT BOSTON.
The reception of President Jackson yesterday
visa most gratifying spectacle. There was as i
nuch enthusiasm evinced by our citizens on the i
>ccasion as was necessary *—certainly a* much ai I
he President, t plsin republican, could hare de- <
tired. The arrangements which had been pre- <
vjously adopted were all carried into effect, with
great promptness and success, and not an acci
dent occurred to roar the hilaiity of the aceoe.
At four o’clock the President and hia retinue,
consisting of the Vice President, Messrs. Wood-,
bury, Cass, his private Secretary, and a number ,
of other gentleinyn, were met at the line on Uox
bory neck, by the committee of the City Coun
cil appointed for thst purpose, who gave them a
hearty welcome. The Mayor delivered a short
address, to which the President made an appro
priate reply. Complimentary words also passed
between the Chief Marshal and the President, all
of which we shall probably see in print hereafter.
These ceremonies hiving been performed, the
procession moved on, through Washington street,
towards the Common—the whole under a hand
some military escort, commanded by Brigadier
General Tyler.
The A'dermen and Common Councilman pre
ceded the companies, in barouches, carriages,
&c. After the escort, Came the officers of the
third Brigade, mounted. Then followed about
three hundred tryckmen,mounted and handsome
ly dressed in white frocks—and a hardier set of
men we have seldom seen. A cavalcade of five
or six hundred citizens closed the procession,
which was a very imposing one.and which extend
ed nearly a mile in length. The procession pass
ed through \Y a&hington & Boylston-streets to the
Common, where the pupils of the public schools,
male and female—and the fire department, in
full force and the most perfect order—were pa
raded. This was decidedly the most interesting
part of the exhibition, and one, we hear, which
very sensibly affected the President.
Passing from the Common, the procession
proceeded throogh Winter, Washington, State,
Commercial and South Market streets, Cornhill
and Tremont-street, to the Tremont House,
where the President alighted, apparently not
much fatigued by the arduous duty which had
been required of him.
While the procession was moving, aalutes
were fired at different stations— the flags of (he

appropiiate demonstrations ol respect to me
Chief Magistrate of the nation. I he side-walk*
of the streets through which the procession pas
sed were crowded by well dressed and orderly
citzens, who constantly cheered the President—
and the windows were crowded by ladies, who
made a handsome display of their teeth and
handkerchiefs as the old hero bowed to them
from the barouche in which he rode with the
Mayor. On (lie whole, every thing went oft" well
—even the young gentlemen who were thrown
from their horses tell witnout sustaining any in
jury.
There was a light shower, of rain during the
afternoon, but that was intended merely to whet
the appetites of the City Authorities, who dined
together at the TremnntTlouse at 7 o’clock, and
of the Marshals, who had champagne and oys
ters prepared for them about the same hour at
the Exchange Coffee House. The City pays the
exppnse. To day the State has to sweat for it,
in a similar manner. Never let it be said, after
this, that republics are ungrateful. The Presi
dent was to dine with the City Authorities, and
afterwards intended to -visit the Theatre.
The apartments at the Tremont House, for
the accommodation of the President and suite,
are furnished with entirely new furniture pro
cured for the occasion^ 'I'he floors are covered
with splendid Brussels carpeting, the couches
and chairs with ciimson flush, centre tables with
marble tops; one we noticed was beautifully in
laid with a great variety of-minerals. The fur
niture is not gaudy, but of the most perfect
workmanship, and extremely neat. The bed
curtains of the President’s sleeping apartment
are of silk damask; and indeed the whole ar
rangement reflects much credit upon the taste
and judgment of the Committee who superintend
ed the busioess. — Bouton Gaz.
Improvement on the Potatoe.—'Vhe discovery
of a new plant, introduced in England from
Chili, resembling the potatoe, was announced
6ome time since. We find in the late English
papers the following particulars respecting this
discovery:—
The Oxelia Crenala\\*% lately been introduced
into this country from South America, and is
likely to be extensively cultivated as decidedly
^ In tli a nnminnft nnfatoa A
.. •» , ,W*
brought over, in 1850. by Mr David Douglas
and planted by Mr. Lambert; and a few small
tubers were exhibited to the Linnxan Society.
One of these were planted by Mrs. Hurst in the
garden of Gieat Ropers Hill near Brentwood,'
and has succeeded remarkably well. It was
first put into a small pot in the end of April, and
in the month of May'the pot was placed in the
flower garden and broken and the parts removed.
This precaution appears to have been unneces
sary, for it stood the frost remarkably well, and
and on the 5th of this month, when it was dug
up, the leaves were green. The root planted
was about half an ounce in weight, and the roots
produced were about ninety in number, and in
a space not exceeding nine inches in diameter, 1
and six feet deep. The aggregate weight was 1
upwards of 4 pounds. A Tew of the roots were 1
boiled, and, when eaten, were found to resent- ,
ble the potsioe, but were unanimously admit- i
ted bf *11 the party to have a more agreeable
flavour. i
Such a result is very promising, and when we 1
consider that the common potatoe (Solarium Tu
berosum)| was, tor a hundred years, confined to
gardens, and that its roots were for a long time »
not larger than beans, and were watery, we may
reasonably expect that cultivation may do much 1
to enlarge the size of the ronts of the Oxalis, and \
perhaps improve the flavour beyond wbat it it at t
present- It has a fine yellow flower, and is or- i
namenta! in the garden. The time of flowering I
is August. The stems were oomerous, large, 1
ind diffuse; the flowers slightly notched; hence 1
the epithet Cenata. At present, the* tubers some- t
what resemble imall kidney potatoes, inclining, ,
lowever, to grow in an aggregate form. i
