moat, THE ctiars"r‘tAsf' SPl3IC.'I‘K’1‘0R‘.' '
Gbservrrtioris qfan American in-Engfdml.

A short time before I left America, strong‘

‘eitertions were made to increase the duties on
Britlsli inatiuf‘act'urcd £.Q°d5« llaflly ‘Vllll 3
‘view to add to the revenue ofthe country,‘ but
trrirwipally to encourage domestic riiani_ifac-
lures. I took no great interést‘in,the subject
at that time, believing that our legislattrre
would adopt measures best suited to the inter-
ests of the country ; but since my residence
hero", I have given the subject much -nrore
thought, and art; now of opinion that, if the
btlvocates of home tnanufac_tures woultl visit
{be manufacturing towns in Englatid, step

into the workshops, and inspect the morals 8.5,

condition ofthe working people, their arrlour
in the catise would somewhat abate, provided
thev corrsulted the welfare of the country at
larigr-,.as tiiiicli as their own individual eriiolu

meiit. I have now seen the principal manu-
facturing towns in the kingdom: Manchester,
‘Birmingham, Leeds, Slieflield, besides fifteen
15r.t~veuty others ofless note.
-iuuuuierable workshops, have transacted bu?
Siuess with the large as well as with the small
master-maiiufacturers, and ivherrever oppor-
tunities occurred,‘ have couversed with the
work people and inquired into their condition.
The result. of my observations has been that it
would be decidedly for the interest of our
country to en’courage agriculture in prefer-

eiice to iiianirfactures ; and that it will be soon
eiiuiigzt for us to become a manufacturing na-
tion, whi-.n, like E‘tgl:tIld, we are compelled
to_ be such for a support. As however the ex-
periuiciit is corrimcnced in in America in re-
gard to manufactures, it might be ill-tiined to
ilisputr-. tiie point directly; but I cannot refrain
from presenting some of" the features and ef-
fects of the system, as it ispursucd in Great
Britain. .

It may be said without any hesitaiicy, that
"d~.ry-laborers in the U. States, even the lowest
classes of them, are, beyond con‘rpari:~‘orr, bet-
ter educatetl, better clad, enjoy more of the
.*~;rrtnforts of life, and are more correct in their
ffl0l".l principles and habits, than the English
laborers of this description. Anti, alas, how
entirely different are the character, deport
merit, and dress of our farmers’ daughters, fr.
those young English females who make but-
tons, pins, trails, and screws. A degree of
this poverty and degradation may arise froiu
adense population, oppressive taxes, or the
high rates ofprovisious : htit I attribute much
the larger part to the nature oftheir cmplo_y-
merits. Children of both sexes at the early
age of six or eightyears arc rut into work
shops, where they are ernploye ten or twelve
hours in the day. Many enter them before
they have learned to read or write, and their
labor is so constant that they ever afterwards
xcmaiti in ignorance; and those who are so
fortunate as to learn to read, or write their
nariws previous to their appreriticcship,seldom
make any considerable progress in afterlife.
Ttic*,t almost of course early slide into the vi-
ces. antl contract the loose habits and princi-
plcs I 2' their old worltslropcompanions; and
while they become expert in their trade, also
become adopts in all kinds of ktiavery and
villain}. The iriflucrice of bad example upon
yullizg minds is too well known to need any
renrazks plitiiiire ,;and it is equally well known
that wliere largc.iiit_nrbers arecollectcd in one
shop, an atmosphere of deadly moral conta-
gion is ci'eatct',_ from the vast prcpoderance
L-f'r-v:r‘ practices ovcrihe good.

Malt-s and fctrrales, of rvliicli the number
set-iris about rqual, work in the same shops,
-git-witi; at the same benches, and perspiring
at ‘be same forges. I have seen groups of the
'.<.e.~.-'t-.. E!s‘.’~.t-‘fttl‘rl€(l round a forge, making nails.
-~~I<‘».iua;es file gun barrels, and nrauufacturc
screws ; and indeed almost all kinds of hard-
warrs arctlre joint productions of male and
fciiizrlu hands. What a figure, think yoir,
tirtrst a young girl make with her sleevcs rolled
-up alruve lrcr ell)trws,labotiriiig with a file that
will we-igii two pounds! The evil tendency
.Qfst:ch tlllpltiylllellls, and the indecent famil-
i;ir'sr_t= which arises from the promiscuous as
.sernhl:-.ge and employriierrt ofthe sexes in the
same rooms, without any check upon their

. rzoudiict, are evident to the sliglitestobserva-

{-

tiorr; and the effects are as certain as the fixed
laws of nature. The women become men in
the female costume, and lose all that delicacy
of feeling and softness of mariners which be-
_loiig to the sex, and which our countryuomeu
even in the hiiinbler stations of life.au ' which
the other cliisscs of British females so 'emi
nerrtly possess. Brit what is infinitely worse,
they lose all virtue and shame. _

Standing in some of the populous streets
here at 1 o’clock, I have noticed the riiotley
~gl’0Ups whiclrissue from the cotirts and alleys
at tlrattiure to get their dinners. One glance.
tells me how extreme is their 'degradatiou.——
'W0lllEIl push along through the streets with
bosours half bare, and hands and faces be-
snrearetl with grease, iron filings, orjapan.—
Some favorite beau equally squalid tsc coarse,
meets a lass perhaps, and at disgustingly rude
'-salutatiurr takes place. Occasionally a couple
of girls will square off in a boxing attitude,

and sfieuvfiglrt in the true style oftlie game. I.
lt8\'6 “‘llIH:ssetl l)_l0ws given and received iii-
this way wliicli would not be very pleasant to
any oneto hear. I have seen some right down
battles fought by these fenialecouibatattts, in
“hit-h botrriets, caps, and gowns flew into
strings like canvas before a tempest. Educa-
ted, a. I have been, in the strict school of
Coirrtectictit, and accustotnetl to look upon
females as beings of refrrietnent and virtue, to
wliour the liiglicst deferctice and respect were
dot-. yoti may well suppose that I at first look-
ed upon these screw i.riaking specimens of the
sex, with iircffable disgust. Iustoirr has now
reutlered the srpcctacle fairiiliar. As the natural
effect of this state of things you will not need
be told,that the populous matiufacturirig towns
are throiiged with a class of females which I
cannot iiaiiie. One lialfat least of adult fe-
malestlrat work in shops, I have no doubt are"
cr'eaturt=.s of this revolting character.

Few of the worltiuen can ever become
master‘ tiratttifacturers. They are taught but
one brrrtirgli or an art ,: and through their ig-
rroraiicc and stupidity are never able to obtain
a strftit:ioir'. iusiglrt into" the other branches to

.l.'-c c-:-rirpt:tei‘itto take charge of an estab-

lislrnwut. A uiau who makes a lock, cannot

-ill'dl~'.»". a key ; and the man who fabricates the

knots to a lock is ignorant of the other bratt-
tlrcs ; rind thus it is with most other articles,
On this account they are fit only to.bt:j'our-
1|‘-l‘i:rcri, and are obliged to live on wages.-

idea ofa coinpetcncy, or of layr'ng‘~up any
llttng against a time of need. If their wages
are increased lh,e_y-pt’fI‘ul‘,tll _ less labour,'anrl
their surplus time is spent at ale houses, or in
‘barbarous’ .a'i'uuser‘n'euts. They toil on year
after year, perhaps under a hard ‘master, earn
a scanty subsistence, and at last die and leave
a family to inherit‘. their poverty and ignor-
ance, and to tread in the same steps. It does
not follow, of cotirse, that iftlie labourers in
ibework shops here are poor and illiterate,
unpolishetl in their lnanne-'s, and corrupt in
their morals, they will" be so in America But
isit not possible and_even highly probable ?
Do not the same causes produce the same ef-
fects ?
~- -A “NOBLE EXAMPLE.”

Tm=:_ Christian public doesinot need to be
inforrnerl that two oftlre steam boat compa-

present season, run their boats ‘on the Sah-’
hath—one on the Connecticut river, and the
other on the Thames. The Hartford cent-
paiiy, it seems, after a’sbort experiment, find-
ing the public sentitnent too strong against
therii,judgr-.d itexpedient to alter their arrange-
ments. The Norwich boat still continues run-
ning, or at least did tivo Sabbaths since,
whctil had the painfirlopportunity of witnes-
sing her departure. I had seen these things
noticed in the papers and lamented their ex-
istence; but one may read a silent paragraph
and feel very little ofthe grief and indigna-
tion which will be stirred up within him by
the actual passing of the scetie before his seri-
ses. The boat leaves at four or five in the
afternoon, at which time the stages arrive
from Boston ; which is also about the time
the people leave the house of worship. Thus
the sacred season of public devotion is itirtne-
diately followed by the most open profanation
of the day.. Let _the Cliristiau reader look at
this—thé stillness of holy rest, suddenly brok-
en by the rattling of stage coaches, the jing-
ling ofa sfeainlroat bell, the hissing ofsteam
€SI"ilpltlg from its_-fuuiiel, antl the flo:gk»ing of
people, ‘some toerirbarlt, some to see their‘
friends on boartl, "and some as looltlsrs on,
while clriltlreri and servants,and lieéds offam-
ilies too, are gazing out from their doors and
\V‘ll'-(IOWSI The effect on the tittirjalsof the
place need not be tlescribed. But this is uo_l
all. The niischief is not confined to the vil-
lage frorii which this disturber of. ,the peace
takcs ll('l departure. She carries profanation
auddisttirbance with her to the river’s riroutfi.
I do not speak of the tlioirglitless company on
board, but ofthe groups that meet her at va-
rious landing places, and oftlre bold example.
slie-exhibits to numerous eyes that notice her
as she" passes on lI°.|’ way.

Such is the scene which occurs week|y—
not in some moral Sahara of the South or
West,hiit in a part of the country planted by
the Puritans, in the, presence of three wor-
-shipping congregations, and in express viola-
tion ofexistiug statutes. Brit where are"tlte
magistrates, whose oath of office requires
them to notice these 'doings——the justices, the
araiidjiirois, the tithing-men. or other iii-
foruiiug man, if there be such ? Dotliey sit
in their own doors, so absorbed in i.hecontem-
platinn of what I have been describing as to
forget that they h:i'v,e held tip their right hand
before the Most High? Are they tlteinselves
steam boat proprietors ? Did they take tlicir
oaths with a mental reservation, etigagirig to-
perforrn their duty ifthey might do it without
‘lt2(.'Lll‘l‘lllg odium, or srrstairrrrig injury ? A

will tell the truth ; but being convicted oftrii-
iruth. the juszice on the, bench sets a riritrk
upon Iiim as a perjured man. The justice
swears that he; will faithfully enforce the laws,
but notoriotisl_v suffers tliem to be broken
with impunity. What their ? Is he perjured?
Is he disfranchiscd. and cast out? By no
means. He is again elected to t)fI_ICe, and re-
peats his unregardetl oath.

These violations of the Sabbath, however,
Iain happy to see have not been wholly un-
relrukcd. Yet the rebuke itself is after such
a sort as, I lratl almost said, to need rebuke.-
Alatc appeal to the public by a hotly ofcler.
gymen holds the following language—-and se-
veral editors ofreligioirsjouruals have spoken
in sirnilarterrns. '_After expressing the great
pleasure they had felt at the “ prompt com-
pliance” oftlie proprietors and captain ofthe
Hartford boat with the wishes of the citizens,
the authors of the appeal add, ,‘ Here is a
noble example for all other citizens, and for
all other persons and companies interested 81-
employcd in the management ofstctim boats,
packets, public stages, and private carriages,
for the conveyance of’ passengers.” In the
subsequent part oftlie appeal the authors do
indeed speak in~a more decided tone to'pro-
fessors ofrcligion ; but the style of this par-
agraph is too tame to suit the occasion and
the characters which called it. forth. -“How
doesit read by the side of the following bold
advertisement, which appears in the same
public newspaper with the appeal, and is
made conspicuous with a picture and capi-
tals? “ Steam boat Fanny, * ',
master, (I forbear to write the masier’s tiame,)
leaves Norwich on Sundays and Wednes-
days, at 4 o’t.lock, P. M. for New York,
touching at New London and Groton.”-—A
noble example ?_ What is the iruport of this
language? Why, certain gentlemen in the
good city of Hartford, fearing not God nor
regarding man, or else being ignorant ofthe
fourth cotiituandmeirt and of their duty to 0-
bey it, did presume to beat their boilers and
set their enginery in motion on the Lord’s
day,to the great annoyance of their pious
neighbors; brrt at the pressing instance of the
latter, did desist from their unlawful doings-
did politely desist from outraging l.he_christ~
iau community by their open violation of the
laws of God and man-—lierein setting anex-
ample of courtesy worthy ofall imitation, yea
and of commendation. '
So instead of rebuke and shame, those bold
and public Sabbath-breakers come otf ap-
plaudedl Their praise is in the churches !—‘
They are an ensainple to others! _‘ Alas, le-
viatlran is not so rained.’ The sin ofsabbattt
breaking is becoming the boldest sin in the
land, and calls for the most pr'o‘-iup_t and deci-
ded repreheiision. Ifit be not every where,
and with one consent, frowned upon by the
friends ofreligion and good order, the Sab-
bath will corue to be in the land ofthe Pil-
gririrs, what it is in Italy or France.-lb.

’l‘lre proccodirigs of thetentli 21f)lllVei‘S«t‘f_Y of
the Ariiericaii‘Bi‘olr: Society have just been

Brigham, we find the following §ta_teru'eut, re-

and Mexico. - - I _

The" revolution in Spanish America is not
only calculated to interest the p_oliticau and
riicrclrant; it‘ is irrtc.esting, deeply interesting‘
to the benevolent man, to the christian‘. The
veil which has for centuries concealed the re-
ligious abuses, the bigotry and tliecorriiptiou
ofthose countries, has been rent asunder, and
their frue condition exposed to our view.

And what do we behold? I What do we be-
hold calculated toiuterest this noble society?
We behold, sir, fifteen millions of hutnaii be-

- ings, beiiigs,too, professedly Christian, believ~

ing in Revelation, baptized in the name of
the Trinity,‘ and yet almost entirely wttli'out
the Bible. By the’ efforts ofthis Society and
that of England, they have, it is true, within.
a few years, received seven or eight ttrousaiirl
copies oftliis holy book. But what are thos'e
among so great a uiultitude——scarcely a single‘
copv to two tliousatid souls. A
Throughout the long road from Buenos
Ayres to Chili, excepting a very few in Men-
doza, not a solitary book of God was found;
and I more than once presented copies to aged
pI‘iesfst_oftering over the grave, who told me
they had never before seen it in their native
tongue. North of this road in the great
towns of Cordova, Tucrrtiian, Salta, Potosi,
La Paz, Santa Cruz, Charcas, Cuzco, Are-
quipa, aud many others, I learned thatscarce-
ly at single Bible in their own tongue had yet
found its way. And coming down the 'coast
of Chili, Peru, Colombia, antl -Mexico,’ a
few copies were met with in the large towns
on the Pacific, and were usefrrl ; but the
great mass eveuthere are yet destitute of it,
and, generally, in the interior, thev never
saw, and in some instances told me they nev-

their own language. Even in the capital of
Mexico, a city more populous. and 3" 5'"lN’»
respects, more iiiaguificent than this great
metropolis, I have reason to believe there is
not one Bible to two hundred families, and
tliattlie other great cities of that republic,
cities containing from thirty to eighty thou-
sand inhabitants, are still more destitute.

_Biit what gives such a peculiar intezest to
this subject is, sir, that now, under their new
liberal systems, the way is open to supply this
lameiitable deficiency of the wordof life.——
The Bible is there no longer excluded by to; -
al maudatcs and papal bulls, the houses ofiti-
quisitior: have lost their tcrrors, for they are
convcited into the peaceful lialls oflegisla-
tiou, and into school houses, where the Bible
itselftnay be daily read. These new Cov-
eruments are not only willing, but iu'soiue
cases anxious that the scriptures should have
a general circulation. ‘Jtatcsriren and influ-
ential clergy are ready to fetid their personal
aid towards so desirable an objet-.t.

'I‘o allappearance the wiry is now open not
only to distribute the Scriptures, but to or-
ganize and build up Bible Societies; arid,
considering the present rapid urarcli of that
people in every thing that is praisewozthy, we
may hope, with proper efforts, that before
many more anniversaries, we shall see these
blessed iiistilutious established in all the great
towns, from our own borders to the lands of
I’:lla|_TtItrliI and '«‘r: -lriiucautans‘.
