CI5EAT Bit! IAIN. A discussim too!; place on the 25th of June in the House of Lords on the subject of the foreign Slave Trade, when the Marquis of Lansdown took occasion to remark that there was but one voice in all the governments to whom the subject had been presented, with the exception of Por tugal, that the trade should be put an end to ; but that, with the single exception of the United States of America, all had failed to carry their engagements into ef fect. His lordship added some very sin gular instances of departure, on the part ol Trance, irom its piedgeu rami, une case was that of Jcune Lstelle. When . that vessel was overtaken by a British cruiser, and when the captain perceived that the zeal and activity ot Sir George Collier would render it impossible for him to escape the punishment which awaited his offence, a number of unfortunate ne groes were thrown overboard in casks. These casks were said to have been thrown overboard to lighten the ship, and the hor rid nature of the transaction would never have been known, had it not been for the vigilance of one of the British sailors who boarded the Jeune Estclle. This sailor, on striking a cask, heard a faint voice is sue from it The cask was opened, and two negro girls of about 12 or 1-1 years of age were found crammed in it, and almost expiring from suffocation. It then struck every one of the British sailors with hor ror, especially when thev recollected the casks they had seen floating from the ship, the contents of which were no longer doubted. The following are the resolutions respect ing the slave trade, introduced by Mr. Wil berforce, and agreed to by the House of Commons, and on which a bill was order ed to be brought in : " 1. That the whole of the proceeds of vessels and cargoes belonging to the sub jects ot the Kings of Spain, Portugal, or the Netherlands, respectively, captured for being engaged in illicit traffic in slaves, in violation of the conventions made with those states, may be allowed by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's treasury to the captors thereof, in all cases in which such proceeds have been actually distrib uted among such captors. 44 2.

The life of a Im man creature not worth a cent ! Can any human law extinguish that spark of fee! ing and humanity, which providence has planted in the human heart ? That base toll-gatherer who could suffer a fellow creature even to risk his life for want oi a penny, must feel the pangs of a wound ed conscience. Could he not have lent a penny to a poor and weary traveller, and not see him plunge in the river and lose his life for want of it ? He should bo employed no more by a humane commu nity away with him. A at. Adv. LIGHTNING. On Tuesday evening, the 26th ult. a violent thunder storm passed over the town of Brodalbin and Galway. In the latter town a barn belonging to Mr. John Dean, situated but a short distance from his house, was struck with lightning and entirely consumed, together with a con siderable quantity of wool, flax, and farm ing utensils, to a considerable amount. It Was with much difficulty his house and other buildings were saved from the de vouring element. How long will people neglect to place the certain and necessa ry defences against lightning upon their buildings ? A trifling expense would en sure not only the buildings, but the lives of such persons as may happen to be shel tered in them ; and it is certainly deserving of more attention than it commonly re ceives.

On the same occasion it was remarked bv Mr. Wiiberforce, aOer animadverting upon the conduct of France, Portugal, and other countries, in relation to the sub ject : 44 Th:it we contemplate with far differ ent feelings thc conduct of the United States of America. Not only have their cruiser been activelv emploved in co-op eiviun with our own in suppressing the slave tr,;de on the coast of Africa, but an act h.:s been passed by Congress, which place- t:te sle trade in the list of pira cies, ; ud subjects to capital punishment all cr.iztns ct the United States who shall b3 found to engage in it. That, in wit nessing thc conduct cf the Legislature of thc United States on this occasion, we are led to reflect with grateful exultation on our common origin, and on those common laws and institutions whose liberal spirit has prompted our American brethren to le among thc very foremost in thus stamp ing on a traffic in the persons of our fel lo v 'creatures its just character and desig nation ; and we cannot but express our earnest hopes, that not only we ourselves shall spcedilv follow so honorable an ex ample, but that the day is not far distant when, by the general concurrence of all civilized n dions, this detestable traffic shall be pronounced to be piratical, to be an offence against all human kind, which all are entitled and bound by duty to sup press.

I saw it in operation in Jul v. 1817. nnd immediately sent a descrintion of it to the publishers of the new Cyclopedia, but I do not know whether it has been nub- iished. The Shakers considering the discovery too useful to be monopolized by t patent, consented to my giving it pub licity as public property. Like most others, this discovery was made by acci dent. A piece of sheet tin, nearly 'round, was, puc in a lathe, and a hie applied to the edge, in order to dress it down to a per fect circle. The file had no effect upon the tin, but the tin cut the file, as in other matters it often happens that the biter gets bitten. Learning this fact, an ingenious young Shaker, Freegift Wells, tried the experiment, succeeded, and con structed the machine which I saw. I ap plied to it pieces of old files, and it cu: them in two almost as quick as a candle could have been cut with a hot iron.
