J.et all of his complexion choose me so. Fro m t h c United States " T rf e raph Opinions in Si :c- England. Ye have from time to time given cxtraels of communications, from gentlemen of high character and Ending;, illustrative of the growing change of opinion throughout the Union among those, originally, the most violently opposed to General Jackson. From Nw-lvigla?id, particularly, every

post brings us additional evidence of

this fact, and we now present our readers with an extract from the letter of an intelligent and consistent republican, intimately acquainted with the state of public feeling and

affairs in the cast : "Public opinion is taking a favor able turn in this state. The bold attack commenced on theadministra. tion on the alleged ground of its pro seriptive character and measures, appears to have totally failed even in this quarter, and is now most feebly sustained. The corruption and delinquencies of the officers of the late ad ministration, already exposed, have silenced the clamors of all who have the least regard for character or decency What was prediction or assertion has become fad The necessity of a reform now stands forth in bold relief upon the records of our courts, & in the archives of our public offices. 1 have no fears for any cry

so unfounded as that of proscription

my fears are, that the good & acceptable work will stop short, and not be carried to a full consummation. Increased caution, I perceive, prevails

as to appointments. This is right. Too much care cannot be exercised

in this respect, and is entirely consist

with that firmness which is

prompt to act, when circumstanced arc ripe for decision. That kind or

caution which seeks to avoid all re sponsibility by suffering things to remain as tliey are, whether right or

wrong, I hope not to see predomi nant in our councils."

Education inGcrmany. If the n formation given in a French paper on

this subject be accurate, the lowc

orders ol tnc lierman population arc among the most fovored in the world. It is said that the system employed throughout Austria for spreading in-

struction among tnc lower oruers is

' attended with great success. In each

village are schools, the masters of

ivhir.h rxrr naid bv provcrnment. No

I j r - v one is allowed to marry who cannor

read, write, and show some acquain

tance with arithmetic ; and under a

penalty, no master can employ a

workman who is not able to read &

write. Small works on moral sub

jects. written with great care, are cir ciliated among the lower classes lie ncc crimes are extremely rare ; c in the course of a twelvemonth scarcely two executions take place at Vienna Boston Pa t r iot. Coopers' work by Machhiertf.

We have seen in successful operation, at South Boston certain ma chines for manufacturing barrels, casks, kegs, $e driven by stcanyand

lnveiueu oy ,ionn isaic, or iiouis. New Hampshire. These machines perform the following operations of the cooper, viz : They shave the staves on both sides at one opera tion, as well those which arc crooked and winding as those which are straight They joint them fit for the truss hoops. Tney cut the heads fit for the casks, without the use of axe or shave. We are assured by an ingenious practical mechanic, well ac

gathered unto your forefathers ! May

your grave be honored by many

mourners ; and may the hands of the

children of those whose parents you

nave piously assisted, plant llowers round your monument; and then may you be raised up and made happy for all eternity !" Here the poor man blessed himself, and offered up some prayers in low tone of voice.
