"About the year 1551, two Persian monks, employed as missionaries in some of the Christian churches established in India, penetrated into the country of Seres or China. There they observed the labors of the silk worm, and became acquainted with the art of working up its productions into a variety of elegant fabrics. They explained to the Greek emperor at Constantinople these FREE PEOPLE OF COLOR.

It is an established and well known fact, that both the white and the black mulberry tree grow as well in almost every part of the United States, as in any other country on earth; and also that silk has been raised and manufactured into a most excellent fabric, under the direction of the great and venerable patriot, and friend of mankind, Dr. Benjamin Franklin. That so useful a pursuit should be suffered to die away, in a country as well adapted for it as any in the universe, is as extraordinary as it is unfortunate and injurious to the real interests of the nation.

"The grounds upon which his majesty's forces were originally sent, were, at the period they embarked, so fully explained, and so, I may say, unanimously appreciated by the house, as to render it quite unnecessary for me now to expatiate upon the subject. I shall, therefore, merely add, that the same causes which rendered the sending them of importance, although very considerably diminished, nevertheless still exist in sufficient force to make a continuance of the same course necessary. At that time I stated, that it was not possible to make a full disclosure of the full ground which justified the adoption of that course, without putting by every hope of an adjustment of those differences which led to it."

"If that course were wise at the moment when the difficulties to be overcome were great, it must be much more prudent to persevere in it now, when well-founded hopes are entertained that the desired adjustment is ap

proximating, and that the time is not far distant when all necessity for further interference on our part will be at an end. That the course we pursued was necessary, will not, I think, be denied, when the dangers which menaced Portugal are considered, and it is a source of satisfaction to know that those dangers were dispelled by the mere presence of the British troops, without any obligation to make active use of them.

“I have also great pleasure in stating, that although many disargeeable changes and variations have taken place, and some which bore a threatening aspect, yet the councils of Spain, I am happy to say, are now of a tendency much more favorable, and the country may look forward to a speedy adjustment of differences between the two nations, and to a removal of the causes of them. But, although I say that I entertain most favorable hopes, yet I am not able to point out the precise time at which this favorable termination is to be expected. "It is sufficient, for the present, to know, that the same state of things which existed when our troops were sent out, does, in some respects, still continue, and the house will, I think, be of opinion with me, that since they are once there, it is better they should remain until every danger is suppressed, and all apprehension at an end.This, however, I think it necessary to say, that the stay of our troops in Portugal is only referable to the same causes which were the origin of their being sent, and not to any new changes or intentions whatever."

The name of which this nation is known by their neighbors is Win-nee-baa-gan; but that by which they distinguish themselves is Hoa-tshung-ger-ra, or the Rolling Fish. They inhabit the country upon the Fox, Ouisconsin, and Rock rivers. More than one half of them occupy the latter river, which empties into the Mississippi 150 miles below the mouth of the Ouisconsin. They also have a village of about 18 lodges, 70 miles above Prairie du Chien. They are divided inio nine tribes, whose names are taken from animals and birds, which, according to their traditions, were sent with them by the Great Spirit to the earth, and transformed into Indians, with the power and capacity to govern; they are the Bear, Wolf, Thunder, Snake, Devil, Elk, Grey Hawk, Eagle, Hawk-of these tribes, the eldest chief of the Thunder tribe is the most powerful. The Winnebagoes are generally acknowledged to be a proud, independent, brave, sensitive, warlike and industrious people, compared with the surrounding nations. They have had little connection with the whites, and seem to desire an entire separation from them. They pretend that they never were subdued in war. They commit frequent aggressions upon their neighbors, and not unfrequently upon the traders and others who pass through their country. Commanding, as they do, the pass between the Fox and Ouisconsin rivers, they have it in their power to interrupt the communication between the lakes and the MississipCOMMERCIAL PROHIBITIONS.

MR. CANNING seems willing to reduce the extreme rigor of the corn laws, though we apprehend that to abandon them is impossible. The following notice of one of his speeches is interesting on several accounts:

THE BANKER'S CLEARING. Most of those London bankers, who live in the city, transagt their business with cach other at the clearing house.

I have conversed with members, and other eminent persons whom I have casually met in the streets, and have never met with any man that maintained the proposition, that the coincidence of the one hundred and thirty-three votes, (in the lords), upon the bill was not a coincidence depending upon its merits. I, for one, am convinced, from the correspondence produced by my right honorable friend, that the duke of WelJington was satisfied as to the result of his amendment, and, also, that he considered he was doing his country a service by the course he was pursuing, but looking to all the circumstances, I cannot help thinking, that even so great a man as the duke of Wellington, has been something like an instrument in the hands of others, (Cheering.) There are several instances of such things happening in other times to great men as well as to the

ing bankers, printed alphabetically in a row down the middle; on the left hand side, is a space for the creditors. The clerk begins with the house at the top of the list.It this house owes him money, he places the balance on the left side of the name. If he owes money to this house, he places the amount on the right side. Thus he goes through the whole list. He then goes to the clerk of each house, and calls over the balance to him; and if they both agree, they mark it with a pen. If they differ, they examine where the error lies, and make the accounts agree. He then casts up each side of the balance-sheet. If the total amount of debts exceeds the total amount of credits, he will have to secure the amount of the difference. If the credits exceed the debts, he will have to pay the difference. If a banker does not choose to pay a bill or draft, brought home from the clearing-house, it is sent back and dropped in the drawer of the house by whose clerk it was presented. If this clerk delivered it in the first instance, in the morning clearing, (that is at 12 o'clock), it is usually returned be

fore 4 o'clock; but, in all cases, it must be returned before 5 o'clock, or else it will not be taken back, and the banker is considered to have paid it. All this is usually done by 5 o'clock, when the clerks go home for a short time, for two purposes. One purpose is to fetch the money which they have to pay; and the other is to see if the balance on the sheet agrees with the balance of the books at home. At about a quarter or half-past 5, they return; and any clerk who has money to pay, pays it to any clerk who has money to receive. It is common, however, for three or four clerks to form a sort of club, and pay principally among themselves. Hence, when one member of the club has money to pay, he will pay it to some member of the same club who has money to receive, in preference to paying it to any one else; by this means his friend obtains his money earlier than he otherwise might, and gets off sooner. It is obvious, that all the money that is to be paid must be equal to all the money that is to be received. If this should not appear to be the case, there must be some error; and the clearing house is then said to be wrong. Two inspectors are appointed, with salaries, to detect errors of this kind, by examining and marking off the sheets. Their signature is also necessary before any money can be paid from one clerk to another.

"such privileges be granted to ships only of such countries, which having colonial possessions, shall grant the like privileges to British ships, or which not having colonial possessions, shall place the commerce and navigation of this country, and of its possessions abroad, upon the footing of the most favored nation." And the bill goes on to state, that unless some period be limited for the fulfilment by foreign countries of such conditions, the trade of the British possessions abroad will always be unsettled: it therefore enacts that no foreign country shall be deemed entitled to such privileges that did not reciprocate 12 months ago "that is to say, on or before 5th July, 1826." This applies to the United States, the French and the Dutch. "The bill nevertheless gives his majesty the power by order in council, to grant such privileges to the ships of any foreign country which may not, in all respects, have fulfilled such conditions." The bill also provides that no foreign country shall be consi dered as having complied with said conditions, until an order in council is issued certifying the fact; nor shall this bill "extend or be construed as extending to annul any orders in council heretofore issued in pursuance of the act 6, Geo. 4, chap. 114, entitled an act to regulate the trade of the British possessions abroad.”
