The experiment which Mr. Owen instituted at New Lanark, in Scotland, proved the most success- ful for the human race that has yet been made. It appears that he became desirous of applying the principles of social reform upon a more extended seale than had hitherto been adopted, and under another and different combination of circumstances. This he eflected by the purchase, with partners who had capital, of the town and mil's of New Lanark, in Scotland, situated near the celebrated falls of the Clyde, about half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and one mile from the old town 0 Lanark This was an establishment for the spinning of cotton, and making machinery; and at this period, 1799, one of the most considerable in Europe. Mr. Owen and his partners made the purchase from the well known David Dale, of Glasgow, and gave him above three hundred thousand dollars for it. Bat Mr. Owen, who had the entre control and ma- nagement of the establishment, immediately began to re-organize and extend it; and in these impro ments he expended, from time to time, not | than seven hundred thousand doilars—and, there increased its products more than six fold. | One of the most important of these additions, was the institutions for the formation of character of the children and young persons born in the establish- ment; and which buildings were erected and fur- nished at an expend.ture of between forty and fifty thousand dollars. = i He built these institutions in conformity with the views which he had acquired by an extended exa- mination of the past history of the human race. He had discovered the great influence which external circumstances had had over all individuals, and how generally men were made by them to become the mere creatures of latitude and longitude ; he, therefore, endeavored to acquire a knowledge of the science of the influence of ext stances over the natural organiz: however varied, at birth, the constitution of each might be; and his success in the discovery and application of this science, proved the pro- gress which he hadmade in the study of this new, yet most important subject. Axwany, Dec. 25, 1845, The Preparations for Winter—Oregon Opinions here—Funny Newspaper Arrangements—Who is to be Speaker ?—The State Printing—Christ mas, &c. “Retrenchment and reform” is the cry of the people, as the State Legislature goes into session. Men who have not hitherto been initiated into the arena of politic legislation of a monopoly breeding, are opening their eyes; their obtuse intellects have been sharpened, and a peep behind the folding doors at the political gladiators and temporizers, has enlightened their understandings, and imbued a spirit of action into their soulless he dsrogatory to the feir fame of stock jobhing politiciens, and disastrous to their fond visions of emolument. Will the people forget those rick: morceauz and “ last crusts” of Bevjamin F. Butler, o: “stated preaching,” or those “ betling books” of the Ai. torney General? Has not the proposterous predicament, too, brought the dynasty of tue v Ven Boren to its terminus? Every boay says rye,avd every body tells the truth, of course, Poliiiciuus must go straight, or walk the plank. Look out for some remarkable logisla- tion this winter ; look out for any quantity of patriodsm and bathos, and a peculiar regard Jur the interests of the people. Landlords have distrained tor rent for the lust time. If they wish to recover rent money, they must bring an action in assumpsit, as the lawyers wit:That the defendant undertook and pro pay a certain sum of money for the use and occupation of a certain messuage or tenement; they can’t levy on his goods and chattels any lowger, after this session. This is one of the levelling features inthe po- licy of the next legislature. Capital punishment wilt probably bo abolished—this isthe general belief. A ri- gid economy will be adopted in the expenditures of the public moneys, and sinecures will be removed. A great many things will be done, and [ shall anticipate them all. The old Capitol has been burnished up, aud looks to- lerably genteel—Justico stands on the cupola yet, bold- ing the scales in her hand, but a preponderauce of injus- tice or some other mysterious matter, seems to have got into .he balances, for there is no equalization about them—one side is up, and the other, as of course, is down, and justice is not impartially administered. This is omi- nous, and the scales will not be permiited to remain in this position,—somebody will be sent up the steepie to rectify the balances, and mend the head-gear of the god dess of justice, which is out of order, and which renders her vulnerable to the attacks of the political elements. Iheard the State Printer say, yesterday, that if Eng. land did not accept the 49th degree, tendered to her by the Convention of 1837, and again at subsequent periods, that war could not be svoided; assuming of courve, that o ofler made so repeatedly, his js the exact feeling 3 that Mr. Polk will be ing, if he repeats this of Sir Kobert Peel will not ac- ‘and we will fight.

The establishment was essentially a mannfacture of cotton thread and machine making, with about one hundred and fifty acres of land, and, ultimately, a population of two thousand five hun- dred men, women and children. The character of these people was gradually changed and reformed from being most inferior and low, in condition and morals, until, as was acknowledged by the thousands of strangers from all parts of the world by whom it was Visited anoually for many years before Mr Owen left it, they had become the best, most moral, and happiest workiag population to be found in | Europe, or auy other part of the world. This change had been quietly, silently and gradu- ally effected, by changing the inferior circumstances by which they were surrounded, for others superior, and by governing th principles of and kindness, applied to prac- tice unde knowledge that they did not form their own characters, but that these were really formed by nature, or the Great Creating Power of the universe, at birth, and by the inferior or superior circumstances which had been prepared or allowed by society to act upon their individual organization from birth t to practice, in governing this population, Mr. Owen, for thirty years, never applied to a lawyer or magistrate, or had one legal punishment inflicted upon any one during that period. The most pow- erful of the circumstances influencing — these people to a superior conduct, was the institu- tion for the formation of a new character for their children; this coasisted of an infant aud second sehooil, and of evening schools for adults, in which all were taught to putinto daily practice the principle of endeavoring to make each other happy, and to have charity for each other’s religious and other opinions, however widely previous circum- stances had educated them to diller, not only in con- scientious opinions, but in habits and manners. Harrrorp, Dec. 26, 1845. Christmas Carolsand Carousals—Hartford and New Haven Railroad —Accident-- Magnetic Telegraph — Weather. Yesterday was observed by some as a “merry Christmas,” and by some as a “ happy Christmas.” All our banks, (excepting the “ Old Hartford,”) for the first time, closed their doors, upon this occasion. It was observed in various ways. The churchmen had their churches trimmed with evergreens, and tried to forget Mammon and this world, in hearing preaching, | and afterwards in feasting. ‘The Catholics kept it ac- cording to their custom—pot exactly from the tounda- tion of the world, but from & time-immemorial custom. Thoir priest, however, would not allow them to trim ta church edifice within. The Presbyterians celebra. dit, aw usual, in buying and selling merchandise, &c. ne Baptists, after having done their worldly labors, brated it by the marriage, (in one of their churches) of the handsome LJ to the beautiful and accomplished Miss B—-, daughter of ©. B., Esq. The devotees of Terpsichore tripped it to their hearts’, and neels’, and toes’ content, at Union Hall. The disciples of Bacchus performed their parts promptly—insomuch so, that some of them surveyed Main street on both sides, chancelant homewards. The little boys and girls spont the day in ruaming from store to store, cryiog out, “Wish you a merry Christmas, for a roll of candy” “ Wish you a merry Christmas for a picture book”— “ Wish you a merry Christmas for a sugar kiss”—and many of the fair little ones made the clerks desire to wish them a merry Christmas for a kiss also—buta kis from their rosy, pouting lips. Santa Claus had a great many hundred stockings to fill, ifwe were to judge from the way in which the “ variety stores” and candy shops have been emptied.
