We do not say this: as. any sort' of reproach to Mr. Huskisson,. further, than having applied to his own acts a term which better fitted, hia pro-. fcssioBS. Ho profosscd lobe " liberal" wliile be was merely observant and shrewd. We believe that where Mr. Huskisson failed to offer a fair anrt siihufnntial rerinroeitv to other nations, it was when he had no power to act, as be desired. We all recollect what a hornet's nest was hroH about the ears of the right honourable gentleman from that moment when he first announced his intended substitution of a duty for a'prolubjtion. in the silk trade, to that in which, under a storm ' of abuse and Imprecation, he completed that most salutary- measare. That i was ; nn act to w,hich the name of lilmrality" had by a monstrouser ror of language, been appropriated; the liberali ty consisting in this that the right honourable geBtleman adjusted his duty for the critical pur- imu. wliirli nnmnA ha most skilfully nc- k. i r r - 'd romplishdH) oi opening foreign markets to cri tish silks, in tenfold tho degree to which he ad- rohtod Freach silk in the British roarkot. But If Mr. Huskisson be not roproacbabte for, this practical protection of the homo industry, under a prefessed system of general relaxation ; ncjtjier can, , with the least pretence to justice, a foreign people be condomned for following Mr, Huskissou-'s cxamplq, . The right honourable gentleman did nothing towards allowing cither foreign miniifacturers or foreign producers any access o this market, by which native goods or native produce could ever so rijinutely suffer; and the United States, by the tariffs of 1824 and 1828, have only gone" the length of such protec tion to their manufactures as it ws not requisite for the-matured manufactures of England to pro tect by any pew legislation. We aicCHSod France of ilUUcrality' towards England; and why? Be cause she effects by law those purposes which England likewise secured by law, so long as the imperfect state of her native skill knd capital re quired such a guardian. .... We find, in an exceedingly cuiious a,nd in structive, though in some instances a biassed and partial document, hc proceedings of a conven tion of manufacturer's at Harrisburg, United States the following description of the modern British policy, concluding with a' quotation from . St, Cricq, director of the French Customs, which is nam and just. u The British free trade system forbids the importation of every article which 'the British soil or labour can produce, ex eept in some such articles as, from superior ca pital or other causes, she makes cheaper than any. other nations. To an application from the Britishj Minister, for a reduction of duties pari passu with that of Great Britain, the French Di rector of the Customs, M. St. Cricq, sagaciously replied " The system adopted by England is admirable, because it endangers none of her ma nufactxres ; and we, tphen we are asfonpard -as England, will be as liberal. But until tlien, we ust stand by our prohibitory duties." , Tbq meeting at Harrisburg ' was at) assembly f delegates from all the States of the Union. These representatives of the manufacturing in terest pf America sate for several days, and fra med memorials and propositions for the Con gress,' which served in many instances as the basis of tbo,tariff law which pasod the last ses sioa. I The 'great and almost exclusive ground ob which the establishment of protecting the du ties in the United States was . defended, both by manufacturers and by agriculturists, was the vir tual prohibition of the corn and flour of America from the markets of Great Britain, and the im possibility of otherwise indemnifying the Ame itean grower for this rejection ol his grain, than by the encouragement of domestic manufactures, foe a. more speedy increase and condensation of ' hands' whicn might, consume his corn. .. This, is the true cause of the' new . protecting duties im posed in America On behalf of native industry tfm its unanswerable justification and this, fi nally, a luminous hint to the landed loggerheads o( the, .Uiiitod Kingdom, who will not see that the best security for their rents is tho prosperity of the British manufactures. Nothing, wo repeat, can excuse the bitter non sense talked in and out of Parliament, against Foreign Governments, who prefer tlieir own dear and indifferent goods to better and. cheaper articles manufactured elsewhere. Their own people, the native consumers, may and, if they understand their own interests, will-condemn them: but what right have we, hardened sinners as we are, to bring that as a cliuigo against A me rican malignity, which is but an imitation of old English pigheadedness and folly t , oo From the National Intelligencer. . DELAWARE AND RARITAN CANAL. 1 We are glad to observe that the expediency of the construction of a Canal from the Delaware to the Raritan, by tho Stat? of New Jersey, is at last seriously agitated. This vastly impor tant link in the groat chain of inland navigation along the Atlantic border is important, not to New Jersey merely, but to the whole Union. It connects the whole of the Middle, and Southern, and Western States, with New York and New England, and it' connects New York and New England with the former ' by a continuous vein, through which the vital fluid of national exis tence will continually flow. We select, from the address of a recent Convention of the friends of this enterprise, the two lollowing extracts, which strikingly illustrate the importance and value of the propost'd Canal : " From the unusual facilities furnished by na ture, for the construction of this canal, and the very great reduction in the expense of such works, from the experience had in the neighbor ing States, the increased number of contractors, and consequent competition among them, and their greater skill, it can now be made of the largest capacity (as it certainly ought to be) for one million of dollars. This sum can readily be Borrowed by the State, at an interest not ex ceeding five per cent., on stock redeemable ten or fifteon years hence, and there is good reason to believo it will not require above ten or twelve yoars at most, and very probably a considerably shorter period, for the tolls to reimburse the en tire expense of its construction. The toll on the transit of Lebigh coal alone, for the supply of New York and other Eastern markets, will be amply sufficient to pay the interest of the dobt. The Lehigh coal and Navigation com pany give assurances that they can and will send through It annually to New York at least one hundred thousand tons of their coal. The toll on this,, at tlie low rate of a cent a ton per mile, allowing the canal and feeder to be 55 miles, would bcgaa.ituu. At a cent ana a nan per ton per mile, (the ordinary rate for such freight) would be $82,500, being $ 32,500 more than the annual interest or the whole cost of the work, from this single source so that the State would be fully justified in making the canal, were this the only source of income. But when the amount of the coasting trade is considered, not only between New York and the Delaware ri ver and bay, but the Chesapeake Bay ; that this will be greatly augmented by the Dismal owamp Canal now completed, the great Chesapeake and Ohio Canal just commenced, and tho Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road now in progress, not to mention the canals in progress in Pennsylvania, to be united with the Delaware, and that a great part of this coasting trade with tho city of New York, for greater safely and despatch, will flow through this canal who can estimate the amount of toll it mast annually produce f " " But, say some of our citizens, let us have a Rail Road instead of this Canal, which can be used in tho dead of Winter, when your Canal will be frozen up. It, say they, can be con structed for much less expense, and will answer all the purposes of a canal. Fellow-citizens, it is not so. No rail road, however perfect, can supply the place of a canal in so important a link as that between the Delaware and the Rari tan. Nothing but a capacious and well con structed canal, can adequately unite the canals North and East, with those in progress South and West of our State; because, without it, there must bo a breaking of the voyage, and the ex pense and delay of two trans-shipments, while, with a sufficient canal, vessels of suitable con struction may load in New York, and proceed to any port or place, not only on the Delaware ri ver and bay, but when the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal shall have been finished, (which it will be in a short time) to any port or place on, or connected with the Chesapeake Bay, and thereby embrace the principal part of her coast ing trade to and from New YorH, and the vari ous towns of West Jersey, and tlie ports of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Vir ginia. Were the Delaware and Raritan Canal made of a capacity corresponding with tlie Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, lines far trans portation would presently be established extend nz from New York to Norfolk, Richmond, Alexandria, Georgetown, and Washington, and all the intermediate ports, through the medium of barges of from one to two hundred tons bur then, with steam boats to tow them on the inter mediate tide-waters, (as is now done on the Hud son,) and horses to tow them on the canals. Ex perience .has shown on the Hudson, that this kind of transportation is the safest, cheapest, and by tor tho most expeditious, and will no doubt be employed in the coasting trade, as soon as the construction of this canal will permit it." From the Pendleton (3. C.) Messenger. Now that the contest for the Presidency is no longer doubtful, we will venture a few remarks on a subject from which we have hitherto care fully abstained. As an individual, wo would have preferred tho election of Mr. Adams to . I . 1 I w t I " 11141 ! usnerai j acKson ; yei we nave never thought it a matter of very great importance which of them should succeed. On all the great questions, which have . agitated our Legislative Councils for the last few years, we believo they coincide, and consequently there will not bo any l r i. " ., . i material cnange oi policy unaer ine new Ad ministration. Our objection to General Jack son is grounded entirely on the fact, that he is in debted to his military achievements alone for his present elevation ; and, although we do not be lieve that any danger is to b apprehended, at present, from having a " military chieftain" at the helm of state, yet we think' the precedent I dangerous; and we appeal to the history of all torraer republics to prove that our fears are not without foundation. On the subject of the Tariff, which is now absorbing, almost wholly the attention of the Southern country, we da not know that we have any change to expect. The opinions of General Jackson are known by his votes in the Senate of the United States, and by his declarations else where, to bo favourable to the system. From the States of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, ho has received a very large portion of the support which will place him in the Presidential chair, and these are the States which have been almost unanimous in their sup port of the present Tariff. From these large States it is probable also, that some if not all of the members of the new cabinet will be selected, and consequently the Administration will . be friendly to what has been termed the "American System." Mr. Calhoun, it is true, who will be the Vice-President, is decidodly opposed to the system, and will assuredly have a considerable portion of that influence in the Administration to which his talents entitle him; yet we doubt whether that influence will not be overpowered by the voice of those members of the cabinet coming from the Tariff States. We shall be willing to judge of the coming Administration as of all others, by its measures, and we hope they will be such as will tend to the good of the People. The prosperity of our country is paramount to all other considerations, and we think it our duty to hope for its conti nuance into whose hands soever the Govern ment may be entrusted. To Mr. Adams, in his retirement, wo 'wish the happiness which con scious integrity bestows. We doubt not that posterity will do justico to his merits, and that his character, hereafter, will stand uninjured "the test of scrutiny, of talents, and of time." SIR WALTER SCOTT'S LIBRARY. A gentleman who, not long since, visited Sir Walter Scott's dwelling at Ahbottsford, has pub lished the annexed account of his library. " The library is really a noble room. It is an oblong of some fifty feet by thirty, with a pro jection in the centre, opposite the fire-place, ter minating in a grand bow-window, fitted up with books also, and, in fact, constituting a sort of cha pel to the church. The roof is of carved oak again a very rich pattern I believe chiefly a la Roslin, and tho bookcases, which are also of rich ly carved oak, reach high up to the walls all around. The collection amounts, in this room, to some fifteen or twenty thousand volumes, ar ranged according to their subjects : British his tory and antiquities filling the whole of the chief wall ; English poetry and drama, classics and miscellanies, one end ; foreign literature, chiefly French and German, the other. The cases on the side opposite the fire arc wired, and locked, as containing articles very precious and very por table. One consists entirely of books and MSS, relating to the insurrections of 1715 and 1745; and another (within tho recess of the bow-window) of treatises de re magica, both of theso being (1 am told, and can well believe,) in their several ways, collections of the rarest curiosity. My ci cerone pointed out in one corner, a magnificent set of Mountfaucon, ten volumes folio, bound in the richest manner in scarlet, and stamped with the royal arms, the gift of his present Majesty. There are few living authors of whose works pre sentation copies are not to be found here. My friend showed me inscriptions of that sort in, I believe, every European dialect extant. The Books are in prime condition, and bindings that would satisfy Mr. Dibdin. The only picture is Sir Walter's eldest son, in hussar uniform, and holding his horse, by Allan of Edinburgh, a noble portrait over the fire-phice; and the only bust is that of Shakspeare, from tho Avon monument, in a small niche in the centre of the east side. On a rich stand of porphyry, in ono corner, reposes a tail silver urn filled with bones from the Piraeus, and bearing the inscription, 4 Given by George Gordon, Lord Byron, to Sir Walter Scott, Bart.' It cautained the letter which accompanied the gift till lately : it has disappeared ; no one guess es who took it, but whoever ho was, as my guide observed, be must have been a thief for thieving's sake truly, as he durst no more exhibit his auto graph than tip himself a bare bodkin. Sad, in famous tourist, indeed ! Although I saw abun dance of comfortable looking desks and arm chairs, yet this room seemed rather too largo and fine for work, and I found accordingly, after pass ing a double pair of doors, that thero was a sanc tum within and beyond this library. And here you may believo was not to me the least intcrcst r .. J i i .i i . inff, inougn uy no means ine inusi syieiiuiu, pnn of the suite. " Tho lion's own den proper, then, is a room of about five-and-twenty feet sqaro by twenty feet high, containing of what is properly called furniture nothing but a small writing table in tlie centre, a plain arm chair covcrod with black lea ther a very comfortable one though, for I tried it and a single chair besides, plain symptoms that this is no place for company. On either side of the fire-place there are shelves filled with duodecimos and books of reference, chiefly, of course, folios ; but except these there are no books save the contents of a light gallery which runs round three sides of the room, and is reach ed by a hanging stair of oak in one corner. You have been botb at th E!isc B-wbon nnd MaJ- maison, and remember the library at ono or other of those places, I forget which; this gallery is much in the same style. There are only two portraits ; an original ol the beautiful and mclan cboly head of Clavcrhouse, and a small full length of Rob Roy. Various little antique cabinets I stand round about, each having a bust on it : Sto thard s Canterbury pilgrims are on the mantel piece ; and in ono corner I saw a collection of. really useful weapons, those of the forest craft, to wit axes and bills, and so forth, of every cali bre. Thero is only ono window pierced in a very thick wall, so that tho place is very sombre the light tracery work of the gallery overhead haj monizes with the books well. It is a very com fortable looking room, and very unlike any other I was ever in. I should not forget some High land claymores, clustered round a target over the Canterbury people, nor a writing box of carved wood, lined with crimson velvet, and furnished with silver plate of right venerable aspect, which looked as if it might have been the implement of old Chaucer himself, but which from thoarms on the lid must have belonged to some Italian prince of the days of Leo the Magnificcntatthe furthest. " In one corner of this sanctum there is a little holy of holies, in the shape of a closet, which looks like the oratory of some dame of old ro mance, and opens into tho gardens; and the tower which furnishos this below, forms above a private staircase accessible from the gallery and leading to the upper regions. Thither also I penetrated, but I suppose you will take the bed rooms and dressing rooms for granted. " The view to the Tweed from all tho princi pal apartments is beautiful. You look out from among bowers, over a lawn of sweet turf, upon the clearest of all streams, fringed with the wild est of birch woods, and backed with the green hills of Etti ickc Forest. The rest you must ima gine. Altogether, tho place destined to receive so many pilgrimages contains wi'hin itself beauties not unworthy of its associations. Few poets ever inhabited such a place ; none, ere now, ever cre ated one. It is the realization of dreams : some Frenchman called it, I hear, ' a romance in stone and lime.' " LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. Tales of WoT-an, designed to exhibit the fe male character in its brightest points of view, I j r . i.i! T s-T arc announced ior immediate puuiicanon. xi is said to be a work peculiarly worthy of female acceptation.

Mr. Vincent Novello. Mrs. Bclzoni has issued a prospectus for pub lishing a complete series of lithographic engra vings, from tho original model of the Egyptian Tomb. London, Nov. 1, 1828. Mr. Irving. The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette announces that another work of Mr. Irving's is about to be published in this country, entitled, "A Chronicle of tho Conquest of Grenada." We learn that the aggregate of the London Annuals for 1829, which have been imported into this country, is not less than forty thousand copies, and that tlie supply does not exceed the demand. There is much truth in the following observation of an English critic concerning these beautiful publications. Nat. Gazette. " I think they aro doing a great deal of good in accustoming our public, and especially our youth, to a correct taste in the arts. They have afforded more real encouragement to painters and engravers, and havo done more to improve the eye of the People, than fifty exhibitions of the Royal Academy. They call excellent litc tary talents into exertion ; tlieir elegancies incite thousands to read and study who would be occu pied with some frivolous luxury or Hii'.dish bau bV Src. MISCELLANEOUS. : From tho United States' Gazette. t True Devotion. The following figurative de-. scription of the effects of real and pure, religion upon the conduct, was uttered in a sermon of the Rev. Mr. Furness, of this city. Its remark able aptness and beauty made a strong imprcs- , sion on the mind of one of bis bearers, who com ' mined it to paper on his return from churcb with entire accuracy, asjho believes!, viz J . "True devotion, like tho Being whom 'we. worship, is visible only in its effects; in tlie ac tivity which it prompts us to dovelopo, or tlie benevolent affections it urges us to exercise. Its existence'js proved, not by its being brought for ward in its own shape, but by the diligence and ' uprightness that it aids us to exhibit. Like tho rain which jcometh down from IleaveD, which first hides itself in tlie bosom of the earth, and then is seen 'no more, until verdure springs up where it had fallen, the fresh and beautiful wit-' ness of its influence: so, religious feeling, prove?.', its genuineness and vitality, not by a direct de monstration, but by the beauty in which it clothes the life, the purity it imparts to tbe lips, the energy and usefulness it gives to the whole cha racter." i Stingslpf Conscience. Mr.. J. Taygart was elected a Senator from the county of Colum biana, to tho secondGeneral Assembly of tho State of Ohio. He appeared and made the ne cessary oaths, and took his seat ; in a few days ho became melancholy, which soon progressed to insanity. In his insane ravings bo disclosed that he was not thirty years of age when he teok the oaths of office and his seat; and that his con science upbraided him with tho commission of perjury, in taking un oath to support the Consti tution, and at tho same moment taking a seat in violation of its provisions. From this insanity he never recovered, and survived its commence ment but a few months. Cm. Oaz. A dreadful accident occurred at Newmarket, Dorchester county, Maryland, on the night of the 25th instant. From a paragraph in the Cambridge Chronicle, it appears that some per sons were amusing themselves with exploding fi.-e-crackors, when one of them fell into a keg of powder, in the store of Mr. Charles Smith, Jr. The house was instantaneously blown to atoms, two persons were killed, and one so much in jured that his lifo is despaired of. There were but four persons in the house at the time of the explosion, "one of whom, t lie owner, escaped un hurt. Northampton, Dec. 24. About 12 o'clock on Sunday night, a son of Mr. Theodore Lyman, of this town, 11 years of age, suddenly rose from bed iu his sleep, and without dressing himself, raised one of the win dows of his chamber, leaped out upon the ground about 12 feet, ran with all speed 80 oi 100 rods, and unpercoived, entered tho back part of . Mr. A. Pomeroy's house, and secreted himself under a great coat. Mr. L. pursued, but not being able to find the lad, the bell was rung, and the village alarmed. Mr. Pomoroy's family got p supposing thero was a fire, and ono of tbcm ac cidentally espied the naked boy, partly covered by the great coat. " Ho was not injured by tho leap and race. He had been frightened tn a. dream. Potato Farina, The - farina obtained from potatoes is now an article of commerce in Scot land, where very fine samples of it are brouglit to market. It is stated to bo quite equal to genu ine arrow-root, and is sold at about half the price of that preparation. Mixed with wheaten Aom in the proportion of one-third, it is a great im provement to household broad, and is light of di gestion. Sir John Sinclair's modo of preparing the farina is perhaps generally known ; but the following short account of the process for domes tic use may not be uninteresting : Into a pail of clean wster place a fine colander or coarse sieve, so that it may be two inches in the wator grate tbe potatoes, when pared, into the colan der, taking care from time to time to agitate tho pulp in tho colander so that the farina may fall to the bottom of the pail. When the fibrous part whichj-emains in the colander, or sieve, has ac cumulated so as to impede tho washing of tho farina into the pail, remove it. About ono gal lon of potatoes is sufficient for a pail of water. After the water has remained in an undisturbed state for 12 hours, pour it off- the farina will be in a cake at the bottom. It is to be dried slowly before the fire, being rubbed occasionally be tween the hands, to prevent its becoming lumpy, and it is then fit for use. The French prepare an extract from the apple in the same way ; but this is expensive, as the farinaceous part of the apple is very small. Characteristic Anecdote. When Dr. Ehren bcrgh (the Prussian traveller) was in Egypt, ho said to a peasant," I suppose you are quite hap py now ; the country looks like a garden, and every village has its minaret." " God is great !" replied the peasant ; " our master gives with onu hand, and takes with two." Chigiaal Anecdote. At a wedding a few evenings since, in this village, after the clergy man had united the happy pair, an awful silence ensued, which becoming rather irksome to a young gentleman, he cried out " you need not be so speakablif happy."
