DEATH OF WILLIAM PITT.

stands, a. small country inn, where the various parties
interested in the great statesman's life were accustom

and mtrri iges. On the mcrnine of 23d January, 11,1116,
an individual having called at this inn, and not being
able to obtain a satisfactory reply to his inquiries,
proceeded to the bowie of Pitt. He knocked, but no

on a bed. in silence and in perfect solitude, ho found,

PITTSBURGH. THURSDAY, DECEMBE-R-7
THE LEGISLATUTIE.—TH a few weeks the Legi,:a
tare of Pennsylvania will assemble. Its deliberations
are looked for with much anxiety. not only be the peo
' pie of the state but by our creditors in Europe, who an
ticipate. that something will be done to m-et the rn_
gagetnents for the fulfilment of which our faith is
pledged. Our own citizens, too, feel much solicitude
on this subject, and are anxious to convince the world,
that the present unfortunate situation of Pennsylvania
is to he attributed, not to the dbilmest and dishonoring
wish to repudiate the payment of liabilities lawfully in
eurred, but to a chain of unfortunate circumstances,
and perhaps. in a great measure, to a want of economy
on the part of the public servants.
In view of the many important matters which will
angace its deliberations, it is easy to see that a re
sponsibility rests upon the coming Legislature greater
than Lb ft of any whbfh his assembled fit some
years. It will require the clearest and calmest delib
erations—the most enlarged and statesman-like views
—the most patient and laborious investigation of causes
and eff:mts—to extricate us from the damnifies with
which we are surrounded. Capitalists at home and
almiad manifest an increased confidence in our faith;
and our stocks are gradually improving; but it cannot
by denied that we are still regarded with an eye of
I sespicion. It rests with the next Legislature to say
whether the honor of the gond old Comm( nwealth
shall be preset red, or overwh e lmed in disgrace,—
The observance of two or three household roles may
produce the first mentioned result. Let them act
and think mere than talk—let them incur no new ha
bilities until some provision is made for discharging
the old—let them introduce the most rigid economy
throughout every branch of the government—but above
all, let them not throw awa: the only sure and certain
means left us to discharge the liabilities, by sacrifieing
our improvements, and converting them intoan odious
monopoly to oppress and rule the State.
"Alone. iir.t.s."—We observed pasted on the cor
net; yesterday morning. large bills calling nn the
Bankrupts to attend a public meeting, on Friday
evening, to aid in pushing forward HENRY CLAY'S
claims to the Presidency. It also gives notice that at
the same. time the question of the Mayoralty will be
r e discussed. If they are in earnest we have no doubt
it will be a "numerous meeting," and that there will be
great unanimity among them in favor of Clay. We"will
wait anxiously for the proceedings, and if they should
be as unanimous on the Mayoralty as it is supposed
they will be on the Presidential question, all the aspi
rants, except the Clay favorite may as well "curl up
and quit," as them will be no chance for them against
an opronent backed by such a powerful party.
"IsteoNsin::rATE ENTHUSIAB3I" is the character
given by the N Y Cummeteial to the vote of the Clny
club of Philadelphia to send 20,000 young men from
Pennsylvania to the Baltimore whig convention, the
ffl:o wing being given as the summing up:
"Expenses of 20,000 men to Baltimore and
return - • • • - • $4OO 000
Time ten days each, • - - - - 200,000

much better by contributing tbisametrnt or even the
half of it, toward the - payment of their dishonored
hoods."

CH 'NESE TOOLS AND CHINESE ECHANTCS.
Though their iron work is not good,.yet their tools
—such .as chisels, planes, axes, Asc., are excellent,
and kept very sharp. They make use of the circular,
instead of the hand saw. They have a saw fur portico
larfine work, which, if we had net seen them using, we
should have imagined the work had been done with a
chisel. The blade of it cunsist3 merely of a single piece
of brass wire, jagged with a sharp instrument. The
pattern to be carved is traced un the wood, and a hole
is bored in it through which the wire is passed and made
fast to the handle, which is kept outside the wood; the
drawing is then cut with the greatest care and accura
cy. For all rough work, they make use of a small
sort of axe, slightly rounded on one side. This an
swers the purpose of an adze In peaceful times, the
streets of a Chinese city must present a very fine ap
pearance, from the way the front signboards are paint
ed end gilded. The insides of the shops are protected
from the sun by screen, extending across the streets,
supported from the roof of the house. These are chit
e, matting, or, in order to adroit the light. are made of
oyster shells soaped fine, set in frames, like panes of
glass. We set a great many tailors to work for us, who
made things very well if they had a good pattern; but it
was necessary to be careful that there was no defect or
patch in it, for they copied exactly as they saw the ar
ticle before them. Our gloves puzzled them most.—
Their first attempts to imitate them produced most
absurd looking things; but as we were not very partic
ular about oar personal appearance, they answered the
purpose of keeping our hands warm, being lined with
fur. Only one man succeeded in turning out a pair at
all resembling English gloves. They were the only
trades-people who did not desert the city, and they bad
always plenty to do.—Doings in China
