I Illinois. — Governor Coles, of Illinois, has recommen- 

 ded to the Legislature, the p.iss^igeof a l.-iw to amelio- 

 rate the condition of slaves in that state, and to prevent 

 kidnapping — .i crime which he represents ni havin^ 

 become a regular trade, carried on to a vast extent, to 

 the country bordering on the lower Mississippi, up the

Gold continues to be found in North Carolina. A 

 mine has been discovered on the land of a Mr. Barrin- 

 g-er, who, it is said, has already collected gold to the 

 amount of $15,000.— Lumps of gold weighing 3, 4, and 

 one even 27 pounds, are said to have been found. This 

 the editor of the Intelligencer considers very pleasant 

 news, but nut of so much interest to the statesman and 

 patriot as that contained in the following paragraphs: 



1. Within twenty miles round the City of Boston, 

 there arc now annually made 40,000 pieces of Flannel, 

 each piece containing 46 yards. [The largest quan- 

 tity of the same article ever imported in any one year, 

 was Tjo.OOO pieces.] 



2. .Scarcely a vessel now leaves the port of Baltimore 

 (and wepiesumethis tobe true of other ports)for South 

 American ports, which does not carry, as a part of her 

 cargo, American Manufactures of Cotton to the value 

 of from 10 to 20,000 dollars. 



ImpoTlant Remarks.— H is distressing to see, from 

 lances of death caused by 

 the clothes of females taking fire. The universal fe- 

 male dress being of cotton, it is almost as combustible 

 as gun powder, and when women and children find 

 their clothes in flames, it too often deprives them of all ' 

 presence of mind, and they fly for relief and for safety, 

 until overpowered by heat, when they fall, and become 

 victims to a most painful calamity. 



It should be inculcated throughout the country, and 

 enforced upon every female mind, that at the moment 

 when her clothes have caught fire, instead of running 

 for help, she should instantly lie down upon the floor, 

 and if necesary from the progress the flames have made, 

 roll over once or twice ; it would in a great proportion 

 of instances immediately extinguish them. While stan- 

 ding erect, the fire will ascend with great rapidity, just 

 as a sheet of paper held by one corner, and lighted at 

 the bottom, will be consumed in a moment ; but if cot- 

 ton garments are laid horizontally, it will obviously 

 proceed much more slowly, as will also be the case 

 with a sheet of paper laid upon the floor. Running 

 very much increases the flames, by quickning the cur- 

 rent of air. Many lives might be saved by attending to 

 this simple mode of checking and extinguishing fire ; 

 and if parents would instil it into the minds of their 

 children, it might prove, at some time or other, the 

 means of preserving lives extremely dear to them.
