A n opinion prevails, a n d seem s to be corroborated by the publisher testimony o f t h e manufacturers, that this low priced wool does not come in c o m p e tition with our native productions.

Loss in washing 35 — 100 In this case, it would appear, that the mi nimum might be at ten cents. In order that washed wool might be imported, and not compelled to import dirt at 2 cents a pound, congress might adopt some plan that would admit washed wool at the same rate of duty as unwashed, as per statement above men tioned, showing the loss in w a s h i n g 35 p e r cent. J. B. supposes that the state of New- York could furnish at least400,000 lbs. o f tbe coarse native wool. This, probably, may be correct; but when it is known that a single establishment (the Canton manufactory in Massachusetts) requires 1,200,000 lbs. for its annual consumption; and when the great number o f other establishments, upon a more limited scale,together with the carpet manu factories, is taken into consideration, the sup ply would fall very far short o f the demand, and the manufactories be com p e lled to stop for the want of this coarse raw material, which our country does not furnish; and the writer o f this does not exp e c t to live long enough to see it produced.

The question respecting the North East ern Boundary line between thc United States and Canada has already been attended with unpleasant consequences, and we have made it the subject of serious investigationn and in quiry.—W ithout occupying the reader’s at tention by detailing the particular sources from whence we have derived this informa tion, we shall proceed at once to lay before the public facts which we deem conclusive on the question. When Col. Carleton, (afterwards Lord Dorchester) being appointed governor of the province o f Quebec, (about 1768) came over, lie lauded at New-York, and brought with him a commission from his Majesty, issued at the solicitation of both provinces, appointing Sir Ilenry Moore and himself two commissi oners to ascertain the point on the Western Bank of L ake Champlain where the45th de gree o f latitude begins. T h e Commissioners iccordingly repaired to the neighborhood where the point in question was supposed to ie, and there encamped.— A Mr. Harper, the earned professor o f Mathematics in King’s College, igis it wascalled,) attended the coin missioncrs, at tlicir request, taking with him the whole ol’the astronomical apparatus; am a (..‘apt. Holland, Surveyor General of the Woods for the northern District, also attend ed. T h e commissioners remained there for a number of days, and until every requisite observation and calculation had been made to tlieir satisfaction, and finally came to an unanimous agreement as to the spot concern ing which they had come in search; and hav ing found ir, erected a monument on the place, and then made an official report of their proceedings to the King in Council. This report was, in the first instance referred to the “ Commissioners of the Plantation 011100 ,” who reported in favor of a ratilica tion of these proceedings; being then oi course, referred to t h e “ Lords of th e Privv * C o u n c il on P l a n t a t i o n A f f a irs,” th e y reiter ated it, and t h e r e u p o n th c K i n g , by a formal A c t in C o u n c i l, declared th e proceedings of th e C o m m i s s i o n e r s ratified and confirmed. These p ro c e e d in g s a re d u ly recorded, a n d arc now to be fo u n d in the Office o f the Se c r e t a r y o f S tate at Albany. Such, t h e n , be ing the slate of facts, what possible room, let us a s k , or p r o p r i e t y , or necessity, or use, can th e r e be, in o p e n i n g a question at this tim e respecting t h e N o r t h E a s t Boundary. finding oo« to thiir minds, seated themselves without ceremony. Not long after the Peers began to assembfc, and all eyes were steadi ly directed to the young strangers. Present ly a very respectable looking personage [Lord Holland] spproached them and inquir ed if they were nat foreigners; they replied they were Americans. He then informed them that no spestators were admitted on the floor, nor even ii the gallery without an or der from a Peer, and that he presumed they were not aware that they had been sitting oil th e t h r o n e . He k i n d l y t o o k t h e m in t o t h e lo b b y a n d g a v e t h e m a n o r d e r o f a d m i s s i o n into the gallery, thus preventing a seat on the throne from being to them what it has been to many others, a very uncomfortable situation. --------- From the Hampshire Gazette.

Y a n k e e T h r i f t . — I t is told o f the Bosto nians that, on tlie very next Sunday after the Banks had resolved to take the Spanish pis- tareens for about 18 cents, instead o f 20, which had been the rate before, all the char ity boxes were found full o f pistareens, and 1 m y s e l f know that men have given fifty dol lars to the poor in what is called uncurrent m o n e y — i. c. in paper m o n e y , which was at a discount o f from tw o to five per cent.,— who would not probably have given a ten dollar note in “ Boston m o n e y ,” which is al most at par. N o w , odd as this m a y seem , it is not a bit more so than s o m e t h ing 1 saw at N e w -Y o r k , on the day o f m y departure by the steam boat. I saw people crowding on board with letters, w h ich, to save a small postage, they would entrust to anybody— praying the said anybody i f he was not go ing so far as the leiter had to go, to give it to s o me stage driver on the road, or to s o m e other anybody going that w a y , or, if noth ing better could he done, to drop it into the post office. M a n y o f t h e s e letters were im portant, and most o f them were on matters o f business I dare s a y , and yet, for tlie s a k e o f a paltry postage, t h e y would incur a risk, w hich no one o f the w h o le world would have taken for another, perhaps for treble the p o s t a g e ; and the blind c o n fidence o f t h e peo ple who entrust their letters to the hands o f almost any decent looking stranger is only to be equalled by the c o mplaisance o f such stran gers all along the Am e r ican coast. Nobody refuses a letter, and almost every body is tri ed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Two young Americans were pursuing their studies in London nt the commencement of the late war with England. Some months after that event, they learnt that a motion was to be made in the House o f L ords, which would probably elicit a debate on the prose cution of hostilities with America. T h e y de termined to attend, and ignorant that any in troduction was necessary, went a t an early hour to the House, and by some luckly ac cident fairly got on the floor without any in terruption. T h e y looked around with great I composure for a good place, and at length, struct a s tate road from Bath through Angelica and Ellicottville to Gerry in Chautnuque co.; Mr. Todd offered an am e n d m e n t to the section directing them to also construct a road from Liberty in Sullivan co., to Biugliampton in Broome co. on the route survey ed by the commissioners under the act of 1S25— • This am e n d m e n t was supported by the mover and opposed by Mess. Wilkeson and W a terman, and lost, only 4 rising in favor. After some further discussion, in which Messrs. D a y a n , Livingston, W a term a n , and Wilkeson took part, in which the two former expressed a d esire that the subject should be postponed for one day, the question was taken on the first section, and lost 9 to 13.

H o ldgate, it is said, is the person who presented lhe check and notes, and consequently Air.

T h e above is all the information on this subject that we have been able to obtain.
