These were dashed over the precguce in immense bodies . The breadth into -which the river 1 b confined may be from 250 to 3 C 0 vards ; thB height of the Pall is 95 feet . This was Niagara in no small minature ; &nd the spray from it was propwtioKal to the greater FalL
Above the PdLs a very large watercourse is cat , by : S a DBml ) e » ° f to mala are worked , abjo a machine Jnaaufectory , a sash mannlactory , a cotton mill , a few taming laithes , a plaining machine , where flooring boards are pnt through and come ont planed , grooved , and feathered , gnite ready to be laid down and joined together ; with other machinery . To give an idea of the ' magnitude of ths water-power at this place , i % is only necessary to slate that , of wheaten flonr alone from 450 , 000 to 500 , 000 barrelB are annually ground . Each mill has its share of the mpplyj and there is a stream-rolling down , nearly eqai-diBtant npon tire Bteep ^ bank , between the street of manufactories and the river , producing a novel and interesting effect In one « r two instances the water is thrown from tie comae , and falls at a considerable distance upon the bank , and , Eke the others , rolls on until it joins the parent river .
I TO engaged during the day with some private arrangements , and in visiting a few of my kind friends . FfiJDAT , 16 th—The morning very wet I was again engaged for some time with bnainess . In the afternoon I visited the Messrs- Loa * nmir ; and Mr . Gabriel Longnrair was kind enongh to drivB Me . John Taylor and myself to Irondigioit , the residence of my old friend , I > r . Smyles . The doctor was from home , but very soon returned with Mr . Brown , a builder , and a native of Northamptonshire . The latter had with him a boy , whom , after having witnessed some experiments mad © by a lecturer on the new science of mesmerism , Mr . B . had succeeded in throwing into the mesmeric sleep , and living as he ( Mr . B . ) did in tbe same honse
with the lad , he had the best opportunity of experimenting npon him , and be had improved his time dnring the two intervening days . After tea , the doctor and Mb friend proposed to treat ns to a fea 3 t on the new science ; and Mi . Brown very soon had the youth asleep , and successfully proved to my mind tbe trnth of the science of phrenology linked to mesmerism . The Dr . directed Mr . Brown to ths saveral organs , Kr B . "being a novice in phrenology . TVnen he touched the orgxn of music , the ! boy sung faintly ; when the organ of acquisitiveness , he showed love of money , and that he desired to be rich ; on touching the organ of self-esteem , be stretched his body to the utmost altitude , and , in reply to questions , he declared himself as great a man as a king or tbe President
either ! At the touch of the organ of destructiveness , he nsed hisjBsts with great veleciiy , and violence , striking about him in every direction . I was close to him and received a few Bevere blows . Tbe boy tcld tbe names of a number of persons merely from the circumstance of Mr . Brown fixing his thought upon individuals absent and present "When Mr . Brawn took some bitters into Mb mouth , which he did beyond the possibility of tLe boy knowing it , be instantly commenced s . keen sort o ! spitting ont ; Mr . B . then took a sweet substance into his mouth in the same position , and the boy as evidently felt the taste of it Varions other feats were performed , among which was telling what a number of articles were which- Mz . B . heJd in his hand ; and the name of persons ir&o were placed in particular situations without the boy ' s knowledge . A Mr . Johnson had been lecturing in the
city upon the science of Mesmeriss ; and he wax not only looked npon but denounced as an impostor by all the literati They were astounded , however , that Mr . Brown should sneceed so well with tbe boy . Dr Smylea being convinced of tbe reality of the phenomena , invited the leading men of the city to his house , in order to prove the fact The invitation bronght many in carriagesand onhcrseback . Attheappointed time Mr . Brown was in attendance , and speedily bad his subject in the sleep . . Ths -boy did not perform so well aj ^ be had previously done ; however , Mr . B . suceeeded in mesmerising one of the gentlemen from tbe city . This circumstance , coupled with his other performances , converted every sceptic , save one . So each returned to bis borne marvelling , and Mr . Johnson was exonerated from the charge of imposition . In the evening we re turned to the city .
SaTCBDat , 17 th—This morning I was introduced t j a gentleman ; of only middle age , who among masy mat-ers « f interest , informed me that tbe horse upon which he lode at tbe tame , had stumbled over tbe stump cf a tree , upon the site-of the city Bank—one of tbe eldest buildings . This circumstance 1 mention to shew how rapidly this place has sprung up from s forest to a city , with a population cf 20 . 00 S . It was founded in 3812 , by Nathaniel Rochester Fitsshugh and Claries CarroL A conadtrable portion of this day was occupied in arranging business of a private nature . In tie evening I paid some viriia .
SrSDAy , lSLb—This morning Dr . Smyles , with Messrs . Brown and Taylor , came for me -wills a carriage and psir . Ths Dr . bronght an invitation for me to dirs with a party cf bis frieuda at five ; and to occupy tbe intervening space they offered to show me all that time would enable them to do . 1 accompanied them , mating several calls in the city ; after which we crossed tbe river and drove to the ILower Falls , and from thence tc Lake Ontario . About a mile below tbe city these gentlemen pointed me to a mill site on the edge which had been sold for 3 , 600 dollars . The fall there is 20 feet .
Ten thousand dollars have been expended in cutting the watercourse , but tbe parties being incompetent to carry on tbe projected mill the affair fell into the hands ot tbe Bank , which holds for abont 4 , 000 dollars , this unused and remote spot of ground . Were capital within tbe reach of fee numerous speculators which this place cojiteins , tbe * wk would merrily proceed . No necessity Wuuld exitt to apply to them the very common remark here , viz , •' Go &-head "! Their minds are like a bow at full bend , and only require the requisite meaui to lei fly .
The lower falls are very striking' , and surpass in picniresque irregularity , and a peculiarity of cross , detached , broken v-ater , every waterfall I had evw seen . They are 165 * eet in height , which with the adjoining bints and rocks , from a truly grand romantic scene . The village of Brighton , with its clean white houses , is situated on the opposite bank , and is reflected through beautiful , bnt indiscribable thin spray , which , from the gushing , broken , dashing , and eternal strife of waters , rises bizb in tbe air , presenting a picture more wonderful than " that at the Upper Falls , or e 7 en those of Niagara . This splendid frolic of nature in grand and novel combination , produced a pleasurable sensation , wMcin may be conceived , but which I dare not attempt to describe .
A feW hundred yards below this is tbe Port of Rochester , to- which vessels may be navigated direct from IJverpoc } , or any other European portj by entering the great river Si . Lawrence , sailing its whole lesgtn , aufl proceeding to tbe centre ol Late Ontario , and enieringihe moutb of the river Genessee , distant only six miles . They arrive at this port , where steamers from Lewisten , Queenston , Toronto . Kingston , Montreal , and the other ports of tie great Lake Ontario , regularly arrive , and from -wbicb pa&sengers and goods are conveyed , in a few mir-utes , from the port to the centre of ths city bj tbe connecting railway .
From this enchanting scene we proceeded through a fine country to the centre cf the township of Lrosdi-< j : git , iDr . Smyles township } , when , after a abort > vs . y , and some conversation with the landlord , who is an old country-man , about our country , the Doctor Giove for the lake , on which was a considerable snrge , with every appearance- of the open cea ; but no fossils ot eheUs ^ nothing of the kind bad been washed from the ** vasty deep , " there being merely a smdy beach , iritL the Terge generally covered with wood , anc no ^ rest prcEiEtnce ; on the contrary , a flat shore . We rtiETE ^ and reached tie Doctor ' s abent half-past four , ¦ yher ^ v < 5 fcaad Siiss Wilson , the Doctor ' s Eister-iniosr , Cua r * r troifcer , two Messrs . Bruce , of the city , ( fcrz ? erfv cf Edinburgh ) , and others .

Tbobsdat , 22 nd . —I lsft Rochester by ihe seven o ' clock morning train . The first station waa Brighton , < not tbe same as described on the banks of th& Geoecsee river ) which is a small and clean village . We *~ txt proceeded to GiNandagtja , wbichtis situated in a flue country , with beautiful ridges and much heavy timber . We next arrived at "Waierioo , containing a population of 3 , 000 . Next Skseca Falls , with a
population of about 1 , 500 . At no great distance we passed Sbneca Lake on our way to Auburn . From SEKEca we soon reached Cattjga Lake , the end of which we crossed by a bridge of wood , resting upon pileB , about a mile and a quarter long . There is another bridge { of the eame description and rather longer than that we crossed ) at a short distance , over which a common road is carried . When-we arrived it the village called Cattjga , -which is dose on tbe edge of the Lake , the Simeon de Witt Clinton steamer was jost arriving from Ithaca , which is at the southern extremity of the Lake , distant about forty miles . The Lake ia . a beautiful oblong sheet of water , -with fine gently sloping banks , which riee to a great iwiftht witLcat having the appearance of mountains . The day being clear , I had a delightfully piciuresqne view . f
Auburn , bordering on Owesgo Lake , -was our next belting place . It is a very pleasant end well-built tewn , containing a population of 5 . 400 . The lake is in form nearly the same aa GaYCO . v , only : -notso Ion ? ; but bo ' . h lying nairly dn * nurth to south / At Auburn stands ona cf the very large States' prisons . W - r ,-st got to Sk a >• edeles La K e , similar in form to the two last-named , aud also stretching from north to E » n * b . but iEdicing south-east Our next impojlanl station -was Syracuse on the southern point of Onondaga Lake .
SjraceEe , one of the xuagniSeient canal creations , is seated near the ceulre cf tbe county of Onondaga of ¦ which it is ihe seat of Jastica , at the point whero the great Seneca turnpike crosses tfee ; JErle canal , and at the junction of that canal -eiththe Oswego canal ; 278 miles from New York , 133 from Albany by road , and by the canal , 171 ; from TJtica 61 , arid from Rochester 99 inilea . The juncnen of tbe canals and turnpike renders this a grea » thorough ! are to Canada , and a place of much business . The village incorporated in 1825 , already assumes a city-like appearance , has four churches , a bank , spacious streets , and large blocks of four storied stores , about 700 dwellings , and one of the most splendid hotels in the state . Salina is a mile and a-half N . of Syracuse , and may be considered as part of it It hts three churches , and a bank . Iti property has been overshadowed by its more thriving neighbour .
This is the principal seat of the Onondaga salt works , thouch there are * xtensive worksat Syracuse , Liverpool , sn < J Geddes . The great spring which supplies the three villages is here . The brine is propelled by hydraulic engines to a reservoir , 85 ft . above the ground , at tbe rate of 300 gallons per minute ; and is thence distributed by wooden pipes to ihs various works . The quantity of salt annuaily manufactured is about three millions of bushels . Tbe following table shows the number of salt -works at the Beverai villages

Observing his ; Lonifhip as he steppsd on board , and feeling a ilule surprised , I abrupUy , but involuntarily , exclaui > -id 1 " there is Lord ilorpeth . " This excited the curiosity of sosne ol lbs passen ? era -wboatood by me o ; the upper deck ; and who , consequently , went belo-w Vo ascertain if any difference existed between the only lord they had ever h 3 d an opportunity of seeing in this democratic-conntry , and the generality of human beinga . Seme of the gentlemen soon returned , ami asked me to " guess" -what th 6 Lord hat : been taken for . This task was tfo great for me to attempt ; they there- '¦
fore told me he had been set down for a Methodist Parson . At Ibis there was a right hearty laugh One gentlemen observed that be ( Lord Morpeth ) , ought to kno ; w this . I replifd that be very probably would do 80 , as I had arranged , to land at Pokepsie , the next landing place . I left fais Lordship is perfect ignorance that two defeated candidates , at the last West-Kiding election , had been treading the deck of a steamer on the Hudson river at the same tima : both of whom , ( writhing under disappointed anibitioa , and unable to bear up under the i > fl otioa at home , ) had sought solace in this " land of freedom" from titles and " accidental " distinctions . His lordBbiD and myself may , I feel
confident , safely challenge the world to produce another instance where two defeated candidates for the representation of a great English county , seeking " miniBtration to a heart diseased , " met together in a amall vessel so far from the scene of their defeat . There , however , we were ! bnt upon precisely the same terms of equality as we stood upon the hustings at Wakefield ! At tbe moment I iandea ihe noble ex-Secretary of Ireland was seated by tho aide of a Republican Yankee , on a coil of ropes on the upper deck , taking a lesson of Jl equality '" that put the accident" of birth to the blush J As I left him , in " sorrow all forlorn , ' 1 could not but ask myself what his late master , Dan , vould have thought , had he seen kirn as I tic-n did .

I bad just stepped upon the p . er *? hen a Yorkshireman accosted me by name , and directtd me to Mr . Tfaos- Brooks , an old friend from Zuold Green , Huddersfieid , who had been out some fifteen or sixteen years . I found him well , and living in a good house of his own , and having a well-stocked store . I al&o called upon his son-in-law , who resides on the opposite side of the street , who also owned the house in which he dwelt He ( the eon-in-law ) is iu the wood trade , -which is in general nse for fuel Mr . Shaw was from borne ; I . however , saw his wife , a very pleasant woman . Mr . Brook introduced me to several other person ? ,
formerly of Huddersfield . I dined with him , ; uid , after dinner , hired a bnggy . Thomas Crossley , lats t > f Hudder ^ eld , drove me to Wappinger ' s Creek . Here I met James Walter , late of Glasgow , and brotbtr-, in-la'S' to Anrus Campbell , who had ace imponied me from Aibasy to Pokepsie . I had some business T ? iuj Walter , bnt found him destitute of means and without € Hip ! oyment No tavern ior temperance house is kept in this place , ( Wappinger'a Creek . ) I had , there : ^ re , to return a mile npen the line of road by which I had travelled from Pokepsie to a tavern to sleep at aviiltge which is named Channisgtille , after tha , great Dr . Cbanning , of Boston .
Satthuiay , 24 th . —I rose aB soon as there was sufficient light tc allow me to see to dress my leg . I turned on ^ sndi Climts'd the most lofty elevation near the place , and had a contracted but beautiful view of a fine , bold , undulating reigbbourhood . I could discern the creek , with the falls above the mill , and a sort of bason , formed by nature , near the works ; a wooden conductor carried the water round a chain of rocks to supply the printworks and to propel the wheel . I bad also a view of the two valleja in whichlthe masters and proprietor reside , likewise of the river Hudson' and the splendid bay , which lay below the works , as also of the print-works , the drying-houses , the comb manufactory and , ' in the distance , the Catskill mountains : altogether forming a novel and rich scene .
I breakfasted with John and George Rogers , Angns Campbell , James Walker , his and George Roger ' s wife and sisters . After breakfast I visited the print-works of Messrs . Ingham and Lister , where they were " going a-head" engraving rollers , and proceeding regularly in all the other departments . It is stated that tbe firm are in the habit of receiving the newest patterns from France and England , copying them , and having goods of the fame appearance in the market a fortnight after

The major part of the combs were made from hoofs ; and by using a certain kin - of liquor &nd polish , they were made to appear yyry beautiful ; they , however , were noro for show ( than use .
After viewing the works , JameB Walker , John Rogers , and Angus Campbell , accompanied me down tfee bay iu a boat to Hamburgh Point , where we crossed the Hudson to Hampden Landing , a place containing about a dozan houses , in a sort of bay . The bouseB are sitDate upon a steep bank , above a high rocky shore . New Hamburgh stands at the bottom of the bay , leading to Wappinger ' s Creek , on the cast bank of tbe river . It is a pretty village , and well situated , having iu it a handsome new church . A small island is situated off this place , which contains some Indian houses . I remained at Hampden a considerable time for the steamer : and then proceeded for New York . '
The first place of iraportanco we reached was Newburgh , a splendid town , built as a sort of araphitbfcaire from the edge « -f the river . The buildings , both public and private , and pnrticulnrly the churches , have a moat pleasing appearaacs , rising above each other like steps . A poitionofthetown is over the summit of the bank and beyond the view from the river . At this place stands the house in which Washington and Lafayette first met . ^ The houss aacms an pld one ; and adjoining it is a fine plain , -which , from the circumstance of the two heroes haying nr ^ t j > ined hands here , is mads a general encampment for volunteer corps from tba various States of the Union , who result thither for the purpose of drilling .
Fishakill Landing is directly opposite the Fishskill Mountains , when crossing the river , nearly due east and -west , and the river sterna as if its force had cut thoia in two . These Mountains ate lofty , and nearly covered with small timber and brushwood . They are the only mountains similar to ours in Great Britain ¦ which 1 have seen in this country . St . Anthoay ' s Nosa , aad the part fallen off between the ridges , ia a uokl rock on the left ; on this light the rocks and trees ovsrtnng the river . Pa&sing thoao bold scanss , we arrive at Cold SPRINGS , a government establishment , principally for casting cannon shot aDd implements of war . As we proceeded tho scene increased in beauty ; and as we approached Wsest Point , I observed a military school , of gre . it extent , situated on a fine irregular rising ground , beautifully wooded . The establishment
seemed to be in the best order ; tLe appearance very imp ^ siBg . On the su mmit' of the hill stands an old fort ; ess , in ruins , which is said to be almost impregnable , if put in a pioper state of defence . This ; was one of Washington ' s strong holds during the War of Independence . Adjoining the school is a large and commodious hotel and barracks ; We lauded at this place , and recdiv" - _ l several paesengers , among whom was my Lord MorpKb , who had atuidber © overnight , ( as I had done near Pokepslo ) . We saw many French grey uniforms ( the colour of the Slates army clothing ) in , motion . This smelted strong of aristocracy ; and had it not been for the colour of the cloth , would have made us believe we were in tha St . Lawrence , or in the Thames , near Woolwich .

If this amazing number of men were to hold each other by tkehand , at arms lergth , they woulc ! extend over lfi , 583 , 330 miles Of ground , and would encircle thi ; globe upon which we dwell 608 times ! If we allow the weight of a mau to be ou an average one cwt . ( and that is , if anything , below the naark ) , we shall come to tho conclusion that C 9 , 250 , 00 Q toas of liUEaao
flesh have been mangl"d , disfigured , gashed , an i trampled under foot .

French Sympathy fob Ireland |—Paris , June 5 , 1843 . ^ -Onoof the cleverest things lately done by tho French for keepiDg up the populationfof Algeria , and which is nothing more nor less than 1 " Barking ; " on a grand scale , has r ;? t been perpetrated . Perhaps the publication of this lotter may save tho lives of other hundreds or thousands of our poor countrymen , whoso poverty and whose indu&tryj lead them to accept of employment , no matter how laborious or how dangeroua . You may remember that towards the finish of the worka on the Rouen Railroad considerable numbers of Irish labourers were imported by the contractors from England to enable them to complete the undertaking within the prescribed period . The job over , the poor fellows were , of
course , left to shift for themselves , which ( voluntary immigration from Franc ? bein ^ at anj end ) presented to this wide-awake Government a ca pital opportunity for supplying the vacuum hourly occasioned by fell disease ia the European population of Algeria . Crimps were employed , aad with so much micoess , that already 220 of those poor men—all Irish , let mo observe—have been carried off for the last time , in a few weeks , by another process . Thia experiment is about to be repeated on an immerse scale . Will your Government sanction it ? Or is there any law or any reason to oppose to it ?

As tho carriage drove up to the mansion , she notioed several fine looking children about I the gate , and having learned that their mother wa , 3 ] tho wiie of the gate porter , » he determined to interrogate her , relative to the cause of her fecundity ; tho therefore , ties !; day , made her way < io * vn to the | porters lod ^ u , and commenced her enquiries : — " Whom children

The poor woman not well knowing what tho Cateubisiti ^ meant , and not knowing how to wrap up in delicate words her idea of cause and effect , blushed and grew confused , and at last for want of something better to say , replied— " I think it must be the potatoes , my lady ! " This unfolded a theory of imputation quite new fcoLady Middleton , whn eagerly demanded : — "The potatoes 1 Do you eat much of them I" "Oh ,
yes , ray lady ; very seldom we havo ] bread , and eo take the potatoes all the year round V \ Greatly agitated with her new information , the ; lady further asked— "And where do yoa get the potatoes ?"
