Covent Garden |irpsents an interesting specta-

 ces, and ilie retailers, seekiiii; suiiplies for their

 Jn the town, and the various itinerant dealers 

 wlio penetrate all the hy-places and streets m dif- 

 ferent parts of ihe tovMi and the viciniiv, come 

 lo make their pincliases. 'I'liis occupies two or 

 lliree hours; and a hosier scene i.s hardly to he 

 witnessed. All the smaller articles— goose-her-

 <S^c.— are liron.LHif in haskets ; calilia;ies, leu ores

 r.-as, ill Covent Garden Al.irket, are shelled be- 

 fore lliey are sold ; and after they come out of 

 the hands of the wholesale dealer, 'fhese come 

 iVeiiiiently in sacks. It is an interesting sif;ht lo 

 fee the poor and sipialid women and voUuJ";;irls 

 who coi.iie to earn a few pence by sliellinj;'' Their 

 peas, silijnfr about in diftereni siinads, (and I liave 

 connled at one time as many as eijihtv in one

 about one penny, or two cents, per quart. Rasp- 

 berries and straw berries are broiinht in small 

 cone-shaped baskets, conlainin- little more than 

 n pint; and these are usually brought |i,ng di.- 

 lanees on the heads of woiiien. It is saiif tlial 

 these women who carry such heavy loads ii[)ou 

 their heads, are principally from W'ales, and ihal 

 many ol them, for example, come inio market 

 twice a day from Brentford, h h.ere great i]iiailii- 

 ties ol sirawberries are raised, audietmn; and 

 this is a di-lance of more than .seven miles, mak- 

 iiiL' at least thirty miles in a day. To'sncli en- 

 durance may even a woman's frame be trained

Old Times.— The Rev. ftlr. Fox, of Newb.iry- 

 port, 111 an old paper, written in U^d to a ll-iend 

 yave a laimliar sketch of Ihe manners and hab- 

 iis ol the gooil people of Uoston, nearly a cen- 

 tury ago. The following is that part uhich de- 

 scribes the ilress of a couple as iliey were ar- 

 raiigi d hir marriage : 



"To liegin wiih the lady ; her long locks were 

 strained upward over an immense cushion, that 

 sat like an incnbus on her head, and then plas- 

 tered over with pomatum, and .sprinkled over 

 with a shower of while powder. The liei-dit of 

 lliis tower was somewhat over a Ibot. One sin- 

 ;;le while rosebud lay upon its summit, like an 

 eagle on a hayslack. Over her neck and bosom, 

 was olded a lace handkerchief, fastened in from 

 by a bosom-pin, rather lari'er than a dollar, con- 

 sisting of your grandlalher's miniature, .set in 

 virgin gold. Her airy liu-m was braced up in a 

 satin dress, ilie sleeves tight as the naiural skin 

 to llie arm, with a waist formed by a bodice 

 worn ouL-ide, from whence the skirt' iiowed off 

 and was distended at the ancles bv an ample boot.! 

 Silioes ot white kid, with peaked loes, and heeis 

 ol moflrihree inches elevation, enclosed her 

 feet, and gliiiereri. with spangles, as her little pe- 

 dal nieiiilH-rs pee| ed curiimsly out. 

 _ "Now Ibr the swain. 'Vour grandnaher slept 

 111 an arm-chair the night betbre bis weddint', lest 

 the arrangements of his pericranium, which had 

 been under the hands of a barber the v, hole af- 

 ternoon, should be disturbed. His hair was 

 sleeked back and plenlifully beflowered, w.hile 

 his cue projected like the handle of a skillet—- 

 His coat was of „ sky-b!,io silk, lined-u ill, yflhiw • 

 bis oiig vestof whife satin, embroidered with 

 gold lace;.hisbre.chesof the same nialerial.and 

 lied at Ihe knee with pink- ribbon-. White silk 

 stockings and pniiip.s, with clocks and ties of 

 the same hue, completed ihe habiliamcnis ofliis 

 nether limfi.s. Lace ruffles clustered around his 

 wrisi, and a portentous frill, worked in corres- 

 pondence, and bearing the miniature of bis be- 

 loved, fimsned bis tridv genteel appearance."'

Ma.^ufactures i.-v Te.mnessee.— There are 

 no le.ss than .50 cotton factories in Teiine,-.oee. 

 Ihey consume annually about ]0,000 bales of 

 cotloii. There are many others employed in 

 spinning and weaving bolh cotton 'aiid wool. 

 Jean.«, osnahergs, linseys, ker.-.evs and bed tick- 

 ing are made at Lebanon, Sb^dbvville, Franklin 

 and Winchester. At Lebanon, "lOO hanils are 

 employed in the manofaclnrc of the coarser 

 kinds ol cotton and woollen negro clotliin". One 

 half of these bands are black— slave.-^, of course 

 --and th.'y are saiil lo be 'expert in almost every 

 depariiiient. The goods mannliiclured are dis-
