'o;j'The following very pretty Morsel is, from
the Roxburghe baltads—a collection - of old poetry,
' which ii now exciting some attentiOnlf England:
Pretty comparison wittily grounded •
Whichby scornful maidens may best_be expoimded.
"Like to a ring without a finger, •
Or like a bell without a. ringer,
Or like a horse that's never ridden,. - •
Or like a feast and no guest bidden; ••••
Or like a well without a bucket,
Or like a fuse and no one pluck it—
Itist such as those
- May she he said,
That time doth lose,
- •
And dyes a maid.
...The ring ifworne
The finger decketh,
The bell if rung
Good rnusicke maketb,
The hoi'se doth ease
If he be ridden,
:The feast doth please
. If guests be bidden.
- The bucket drawes
The ‘Vater for thee,
The rose when pluckt
- Is then most worthy.

So,ss the maiden
In mine eyes,
Who loves and marryes
Ere she dies."
SEWING GIRLS.
"Sowing Girls get good husbands—sometimes."
_ - KATE.
So theido,Misv Kate, bot they oftener die of
broken heacts,-Cir codsumption,as it is called. Let
me telt you'a story of a pretty little-dress-maker
that lkneWsears ago, and who lived ,in the vil
lage where I Was born.
She-war when 'first saw her, a delicate girl of
sixteen Her eyes and hair were dark as night;
her cheek fevealed the rose-bud, and her lips were
full and red. Indeed, she watr.very beautiful, and
many itroutl
.and hiah•born girl envied the
iage.dress maker.
. .The,young gentlemen were bold in their ex
, pressionkot admiration—stared at her when sh'e
modestly, entered: the country church, and were
officicius in their attentions to her, when none of
- the - aristocracy Were near. They were the sons
"and brothers of her employers, so she quietly lis
tened to their flattery, and received their attentions
• . . •
:•=4tit n o n e reached her heart.
~ •
At last (I .know not how it came about.) she
loved,-lOveitone, too, who was all unworthy.—
She had never read of man's treachery in novels;
never heard of it in real life; and when James H.
called her his "sweet love," and told her
how dear
. she was to his heart, she believed him.
- Sttd loVed 'him - With all the depth and fondness of
" a ptire Young•heart:
One Saturday evening., as Mary sat humming a
..ttine t antrebeerfnlly finishing a dress for a lady,
her lever entered the room. She smiling wel
-comed him; and with a sweet, happy voice she
said.:.
"You mill excuse me if I do not put aside my
-wprk,Will you not? for the dress must be finished
iri an, hoar."
`"Oh'kes," said he, and he drew his chair close
--to her ,side, but dear Mary, do not take any more
- .Sewing. , . I do not love to have you dim your bright
,eyesiwitli work. Come live with me, and let me
take Gait of you."
Hit- voice pew husky, and he hesitated a mo
naent,.as if ashamed at his own baseness, then he
isaid :
,
— .i
- Yati,know I cannot marry you. My father
would, disown me if .1 did; but 1 cannot live with
:o4t pu.o3weet one," and he threw his arm about
Theislender waist
-The".poor * girl shrunk away, as if from the touch
of - n deadlY serpent. Her cheek blanched, her eyes
nereWild, arid for a few moments she was speech-
Then with words, of scorn (may they ring
in hisdying . ear,) she hade him leave her forever.
..BOW those few words of his had changed the
appearance of. the .world to that young girl. Be
fore:he came in, she was cheerful and happy; the
woild:.about her was bright and beautiful—the fu
turelull'of hope and joy. Only a few moments
had paised away„—she sat in the same room—the
'-xinftniShid*cirk was still in her lap—but her heart
Witantiur broken and desolate. The world bad
;tudiienly . grown hateful, and the darkness and
gloom of, night shrouded her future.
..She.nat, : motionless in the chair where he had
left her, until she was aroused by a knock at the
door. She opened. it, and a servant enquired if
dress was done.
"Igor:said Mary, and she was startled at the
Sound oilier own voice. .1 have not been well
this iveiling Cad' you come again in half an
- 'The,servant turned awayand Mary was again
alone. There were no tears in her eyes-,.iind she
:took up•the dress, and mechanically commenced
sewing, but in a Jew moments the same servant re
turned, and said :
"I told Mrs.'.l.;--= ; - --how pale and sick you
looked, and she says.you must not finish the dress
to-night—she tide:soot wish to wear it to-morrow.
There is a basket of fruit she sent you."
Mary sank down in her chair; the kindness had
touched her heart, and tears, wholesome tears,
burst from her eyes.
Days and weeks passed on. Those who em
ployed Mary noticed that her step grew languid,
and that the song with which she used to beguile
her hours of toil; was hushed, but no one , knew
the cause.
Her' health gradually failed. One afternoon,
while her head was resting on the bosom of the
kind-hearted Mrs. word E amethatJames
begged earnestly to see her. The name
.had power, even then,. to`rouse her from her tether
gy:and a_slight flush came into her cheek, as. she
spfllYWhisp,ered:
am-dying—that I forgive him, but
I cannot, indeed,l cannot see him."
`Miry died that night. In the quiet church

isier only requiem.
4 Sunday Bern.—Yesterday, a German boy la
•his aged and.blind father from the Wharf up State
street to the' Capitdi Park. From their appear
`since, it nas evident thekhad just arrived from the
:A'aclerliind. and were seeking a home in this calm
..try, to "which - all exiles flee. Sorrowing and infirm,
„the'parent suffered his cheerful son to guide his
-ring steps. Time had dealt severely and
irostly with the one,—the other seemed only to

the Spring with the ripened fruit of the Autumn.

man.on the railing, dhl wiping the moisture from
his face, sat down. He then took a well-worn

,
'When a-true genius „appedt eth'in, the world. you
may - know him ; by this infallible sign, that the
duncesare-all in confederacy . against him.l
am , apt , to thirkthat, in the day of judgment,
there will be small allowance, given to the wise
'for their Want of morals, or to the ignorant for
"their want of faith, because both are without ex
cure. This renders the advantages equal of igno
rance and knowledge. But,some scruples in the
wise, and some vices in the, ignorant, will perhaps
be forgiven, upon the strength of temptation to
each.
It is in disputes as in armies, where the weaker
side setteth up false lights, and . maketh a great
noise, that the enemy may believe them to be more
numerous and strong than they really are.
I have known smiti - ez men possessed of good
qualities, which were very serviceable to others,
but useless to themselves; like a sun dial on the
front of a house, to inform the neighbors and pas
sengers. but not the owners within.
If a man would register all his opinions, upon
love, politics, religion, learning, &c., beginning
from his youth, and so go on to old 'age,' What a
bundle of inconsistencies and contradictionswould
appear at last.
The reason why so few marriages are happy is,
! because young ladies
. spend their time in making
I nets, not in making cages.
The power of fortune is confessed only by the
miserable, for the happy impute all their success
to prudence and merit.
Ambition often puts men upon doing the mean
est offices : so climbing is performed in the same
posture with creeping.
Censure is the tax a man payeth to the public
for being eminent.
Resuscitation of the Drowned.—The vulgar meth.
od of rolling drowned persons on barrels, and vari
ous other equally absurd methods of restoring
suspended animation, no doubt, more frequently
kills than cures. Dr. Mott of the American Ship.
wreck Society,gives the following directions which
cannot be too extensively promulgated:—
"As soon as the body is removed from the wa
ter, press the chest suddenly and forcible down
ward and backward, and instantly disdontinue the
pressure. Repeat this without intermission until
a pair of common bellows,can be procured; when
obtained introduce the nozzle well dpon the base
of the tongue. Surround the mouth with a towel or
handkerchief, close it. Direct a bystander topless
firmly on the pr,.jecting part of the neck, called
Adam's Apple, and use the bellows actively-.
Then press upon the chest to expel the air from
the lungs—to imitate natural breathing. Contin
ue this an hour at least, unless signs of natural
breathing come on. Wrap the body in warm blan
kets, and place it near the fire, and do everything
to' preserve the natural warmth, as well as to im
part artificial heat, if possible. Avoid all friction,
until respirationshall be in some degree establish
ed.”
The (log's Life.—The natural term of thellog's
life is little known, for the plain reason that every
man's hand is raised against him, as if be were hes
tis humani genesis, a pirate and an outlaw! But it
is related by Rev. Gilbert White on this subject,
that a neighbor °lbis kept a hall-breed Bantam
sow, "who was as thick as she was long, and whose
belly swept the ground, until she was seventeen,
when she showed some tokens of age, by the decay
of her teeth and the decline of her fertility, and was
then fattened and killed." For ten years she pro
duced two litters annually, of about ten, and once
above twenty at a litter. At a moderate compu.
Cation, she was allowed to have been the mother
of some three hundred pigs !
cc's- Amidst the insincere andhypocriticalshout
ings of the anti-war Whigs for a renowned hero
of the Mexican war, the people must be careful
not to lose sight of the odious principles of that par
ty, not be induced to stray from the Democratic
land marks by their professions of nno-partyism.'
Let our adopted citizens, in particular ; remember,
that one of the first principles of Maryland wbig
gery, was to dishonor and (Igrade them, by an
infamous Stamp Act, established for the two-fold
purpose of defacing their evidences of citizenship,
and embarassing and restricting them in the exercise
of the right of suffrage. Though the good fruits
of Democratic measures have "scotched the old
' snake," it is not yet killed—but it will bite them
as severely as ever, the moment it becomes con
firmed in power.—Bait. Repub.

0:7 The Whigs, when closely pressed for a dec-i
laration of their present principles, evade an an•
answer by pointing to their past acts for those
principles. We have glanced over thcise acts, and I
find that one of their principles, as developed by
those acts, was to tax the people's tea and coffee
in lime of peace, and to insist on retaining a high
tax upon the people's salt, sugar and iron—all of
which articles are actual and indispensable neces
saries of life. We find it to be another principle
of theirs, to oppose taxing tea and coffee in lime of
war,—not because they had in reality become op
posed to uch
a tax—but only to dry up the re.
sources needed by their government to carry on the
war, which Mexico and Whiggery combined, in
their madrtess and folly, forced us to undertake.—

4 Home Markel.—The iron workers and their
families consume over $t5,000,000 worth of the
mechanical and agricultural products of the coun
try. Is this of no benefit to our farmers and me
chanics Would our wheat growers, shoemakers,
tailors, &c., be better off if these ironworkers
were in England'! This, too, is the consumption
of but a single class of men. At the (East, our
Cotton manufacturers provide a rich home market
for the Farmers, and wherever manufacturers are
prosperous, the faimers find good markets and
prompt pay for their productions. We need not
demonstrate a fact like this to the farmers in the
neighborhood of Pittsburgh It is made palpable
every day, and almost evry hour of the day.
[Pittsburgh Guyette.
Our neighbor seems to have a most peculiai
fancy for the interests of the manufacturers. All
his facts and arguments seem to be derived froth
statistics connected with them. We cannot see
why the fact of a man being engaged in the man
ufacture of iron, or cotton and woollen goods, or
salt, or glass, or any other commodity, gives him
any importance above Lis fellow men who labor
honestly for a subsistence ;—and the great mass of
the people of our country do labor. Now suppo
sing the $15,000,000 be speaks of are consumed
by the iron-workers and their families. What are 'I
we to infer from this? That, unless these men I
were working in iron, they would not expend any'
thing; and, consequently, all this amount would I
be lost to the farmer and the mechanic ? Such
would seem to be the substance or the argument
of the Gazette; and yet a more shallow conclusion
could not be arrived at. We are not willing to
believe that our neighbor designed to come tosuch
a conclusion ; and yet, if he did not wish to lead
his readers to this point, why the very significant
question—" Would our wheat growers, shoema
kers, tailors, &c, be better off if these iron-work
era were in England ?" It seems to ns that he
might as well have asked whether, if all the people
of our country were in Europe, the country would
be as poptilous ? For the fact of there being so
many engaged in iron works, cotton and woollen
manufactures, and the various other employments,
is only incidentally connected with the population
of the country. These people - ltwould not be thus I
engaged, if they could not from this source obtain
the comforts of life ; and for these comforts they I
but exchange their labor for that of others—the',
farmer with the blacksmith, carpenter, &c., &c.,'
and these again with others; each giving that
which he has for that which hewants.
What would the farmer do with his grain. and
the mechanic with his wares,-if the people. wets not
here to use them ; and yet the people being here,
they must have clothes to wear, and articles, the
product of the mechanic and manufacturer, in
order to make them comfortable, whether they
are engaged in the manufacture of iron or not—
or, indeed, if they have no employment: for they
must be supplied with food—thus affording a mar
ket for the produce of the farmer. Thus, it will
be seen that all such arguments as that resorted to
by the Gazette destroy themselves. Each man,
woman, and child,- in our country, adds to the
consumption of the produce of the farmer and the
workmanship of the mechanic, whether there is
employment for each or not ; and, employed or
unemployed, each is dependent on the other.—
Tberefore our laws should be framed with a spe
cial reference to the good of the whole; and not
for the aggrandizement of any particular class—
all such legislation operating as a burthen on the
mass of the community.
The fatholies.—The Gazette,.
We copy the following from the Gazette of
yesterday. It is in reply to our article of the 10th
instant; and we give our neighbor the full benefit
of his reply
We have no connection with the Roman Catho
ltc Church —Pods.
‘; Certainly not. The spirit of the Catholic
church teaches men not to malign and slander their
neighbors,—not to "wear the livery of hervien to
serve the devil in," end the Post does all this and
worse than this, for the paltry purpose of belieing
the Gazette and courting the Catholics. Shame,
shame upon such political clap clap,—the ming
ling of politics with religious creeds, an 4 bringing
religion to a lowly worldly level, without even ele
vating the politics of your party.
Out creed in regard to sects is that written in
the Constitution of the country. We are-for the
freest toleration. - The Right of Petition, the Free
dom of Speech, and a prohibition upon Congress
against making any law respecting the establish
ment of religion, or preventing the free exercise
hereof, are happily blended in one and the same
article, and are the fruits of the "second, sober
thought" of thosi to 'whom was committed the
labor of revising and amending the original Con
stitution. We respect every man's religious faith,
and regard it as a matter between his God and his
conscience,—but what sort of an idea of God or
conscience can a man have who would lay one
man's sins at the door of another, who would make
one man'responsible for the opinions of another,
who would put words into another man's mouth,
and make him responsible for every extract which
by
-accident found its way into his columns.=
There is neither Christianity nor courtesy in
such conduct, and every Catholic who respects
himself or his creed will be ashamed of such a vol
unteer, speaking ex cathedra for his church. Per
haps the editor of the Post is ambitious of reviv
ing the ceremony of Canonization, and of being
himself a Saint. We commend to him first, how
ever, more charity and more fairness, and some
thing of that Christian courtesy of doing unto oth
era as he would have o others do unto him."
We,subscribe most heartily to the statement,
that "the spirit of the Catholic church, teaches men
not to malign and slander their neighbors." Such
is the spirit of that religion taught by Him who
"spoke as never man spoke," whether its profes
sor be a member of the,Roinan Catholic, the Epis
copalian, the Methodist,or the Presbyterian . church
and that spirit moreover will prompt men to re
spect the opinions of these who are humbly striv
ing to gain the same blissful gaol even .though .
all may not think alike respecting the.preeise Man
ner in which the - hair should be shorn; the cut of
the coat; or the. forms of address 'to the Sapretne
Head of the Church. . .
" Oun CREED, in regard to sects, is that written
in the Constitution of the country. W are for
the freest toleration." But our ideas :if toleration,
forbid us to insert in our paper either long articles
—4olding, up to ridicUle and .eontenipt, and inis
representing and grossly slandering, the . professors
of "the. zChristian religion of any seet,--or short
;..
i f
ones, conveying irtuentlaes„none the less cut
ting, severe nnd'ungerie'rOns; becaue Wey are small.
The Coristitution of Mir donnirf, ieeniek to eve.
ry map fieedont,in the enjoyment of:his ._ rlaigtoos i,
opinions; and in the exercise of his religious faith ;
and'we are not among the number of those who
would make the Conatifution a dead : lettcr,by pro
ducinea state of Public opinion 'directly the re
verse of the spirit, both 'of true religion and our
glorious Constitution. Our ideas of toleration
prompt us to assail none of our fellow-citizens, di
rectly or indirectly, on account of their profession
of religious faithbelieving, as we do, that mere
modes of faith amount to but little, unless the soul
of man aspires after the good and the perfect ; and
we are led to recognize all as the children of light,
who seek to do good to their fellow-men.
But, says the editor of the Gazette, " we respect
every man's religious faith, and regard it as a mai
-1 ter between his God and his conscience." Our
ideas of respect for another forbid us to make such
attacks upon a respected object, as we have fre
quently had occasion to notice,--both of a direct
and indirect character,—in the columns of that
paper. The Gazette is the organ of the old fash
ioned, invulnerable " Whigs," of the Hamiltonian'
stamp. That portion of the party is composed of
the more wealthy and aristocratic among the citi
zens of our country; and, from some cause, which
we are not able to penetrate, are not to be found
among the wprsbippers of God in Catholic Church
es. A knowledge of these facts has led us to no-
Lice articles in that paper, which, bad they ap
peared in quarters that we esteem less entitled to
consideration, would have passed, unnoticed. We
have been led to think—as well from the course of
the Gazette, as from what has been done under the
sanction of the "Whig " party, where they hkve
had the pOwer,—that there is a deep-rooted preju
dice' prevailing in that party_against our Roman
Catholic fellow-citizens. The Gazette may con
tinue to disavow any such hostility; but, so long
as articles of the kind to which we have alluded
continue to appear in its columns ; so long as its
party shall sustain the acts which it has so une
quivocally sustained, in relation, to the Catholics,
we shall continue to hold it up to the community,as
aiding in the movement to stigmatize and oppress
that portion of our countrymen, who worship God
after the forms of the Roman Catholic Church.—
Our duty to the free institutions of our country; as
the conductor of a Democratic press; our duty as
a citizen of this free Republic; our ideas of duty ,
as members of an intelligent corn miinity ; all
prompt us to this course ; and we know of no con.
sideration which can divert us from it.
Our ambition-has never prompted to the hope
that we could practice those virtues of the Chris
tian, which would lead to the transmission of our
names to mankind as exemplars of that holy faith.
We know and feel too sensibly our own weakness,
to permit such an idea for an instant to have a
resting place in ourmiud; but we have ever striver,
and will ever strive to manifest "that Christian
courtesy of doing to otheo as we would have
others do to us." Among the duties of the editor
of the public press, there 'is none perhaps, more
important,, than that of striving to give a right di
rection to public opinion. We trust that we feel
the importance and the responsibility of our eta.
Lion, to an extent that will forbid us from contend
ing for any doctrine, or supporting any policy,.
which we do not conscientiously believe to be
true. Feeling thus, we trust we will not be con.
sidered as going beyond our province, when we
seek to expose error, and to condemn it, in others
—while we leave others equally free to point out
those which we may commit. Our vindication of
our Roman Catholic fellow-citizens may, there
fore, be ex cathedra ; but it can scarcely be looked
upon as either uncalled-for or unnecessary.
STEC BEN VILLA •AD WHIELING.—Quite an inte
resting controversy is now going on between the
Herald at Steubenville, and the Times at Wheeling,
relative to the railroad prospects of those places.
Here is the last article of the Times man :
" Steubenville has taken to talking about rail
roads. That is right. We expect in a few days
to hear a rail road agitated between Carrollton and
Waybesburgh. Why should there not be'? It
matters little whether there is anything done on the
road or not. Still a road from the Tuscarawas to
Steubenville would be of use. It would bring into
Steubenville, the boys who wanted to go fishing in
the Ohio, the vegetables for Market;and carry out
the,cotton yarns and Weekly ITeiald." ' •
The " green-eyed monster," JCALLOCSLY, is too
visible in the extract! For years past Steuben

Wellsville this week. It is for the purpose of con

given hours.—Whiceeting Timm.
There is more petty Jealousy for you! We
would not be surprised to learn that the revenues
of the Wellsville office exceeds those of the office
in the little village in Virginia, opposite Zane's
island. Wellsville is a real go-ahead place, and is
filled with an enterprising and intelligent pope•

PIRATES OFF THE DELAWARE.--The NEW York
papers learn from Capt. Small, of the schooner King
Philip, at that port, from Trinidad de Cuba, that, on
the 3d inst., lat.. 37 43, long. 74 30, ho boarded the
ship Chesapeake, from Philadelphia to Baltimore.
The captain of the Chesapeake informed him, that on
the afternoon of the second, he spoke a barque,
name not recollected. The captain informed him
that a roe boat with eight or ten men in her, took
from him his chronometer, all the watches on board,
and every thing valuable they could find, and left
the crew tied. A vessel came along shortly after
her, and liberated the crew, when they proceed-
ed on their voyage
Defalcation —We learn that one of the officers
of the Branch Bank of Virginia,at Lynchburg, has
absconded, carrying off some 13,000 dollats of the

standing in the community, and has hitherto borne
an irreproachable character.—Richmond Enquirer.

THE PITTSBUICGII TRADE AND THE CROSS CUT
Cartat.—Under the above caption, the last Cleve
land Plaindeakr contains the following interesting
article, which we transfer to our colums with the
greatest pleasure.
The staple articles of Pittsburgh manufacture are
iron, nails and glass—they are too our staple articles
of trade, at least one very large branch of the whole
sale trade of this city is in these articles. Cleveland
has constantly on hand all the different sizes and
qualities that are to be found in Pittsburghand the
prices are the same as there, only adding transporta
tion. Cleveland is in ract a great mart for Pittsburgh
manufactures. We have the large house of Spang
Co.—who keep constantly on hand an immense stock.
W. A. Otis & Co., whose large and spacious ware
house is full of Pittsburgh goods—the iron and nails
being mainly from the groat New Castle works—
though one of the largest establishments in thecity--
are almost exclusively in this trade.
Crangle & Bailey, and Lemuel Wick, and the nu
merous up-town hare-ware dealers, divide the bal
ance—the two former establishments keeping on
hand very large wholesale stocks. This trade' de
pending Upon the cross-cut, or Pennsylvania and
Ohio Canal. This cross-cut connects the Ohio canal
at Akron,. 34 miles Sosth, with the Ohio - now at
Beaver, 23 miles below Pittsburgh. This distance
the canal beats are towed up and down by steamers.
This cross-cut was completed in 1840. The first
boat passed over the Ravenna Summit on , the 3d of
April of that year.
At once the trade in iron , and nails commenced.
Without the cross-cut the receipt of these articles
at Cleveland by the canal amounted to only. 48,659
lbs., or 241 tons. In 1340 the receipts at once ran
up to 2,134,213 lbs., or 1,067 tons.
Since the receipts hive been as follows:
1841, 3,842,420 lbs. or • 1,921 tons
1842, 3,157,576 " or 1,973 "
1843, 7,008,150 " or 3,504
1844, 5211,054 " or . 2,605 "
1845, 8,303,052 " or 4,151 "
1846, 11,526,908 " or 5,763 "
These figures tell better than words of this trade;
its rise, growth, and extent.
Besides iron and nails there are other staples, as
I glass and cotton yarn. •
6 We cannot conveniently find the figures showing
the receipts as in the case of iron and nails. But last
year we see that of glass and glass-ware 1,422,019
-lbs. or 2,711 tons were received by the canal. As
this is a trade that is as much dependent upon the
facilities furnished by this canal as that of iron and
nails, there is no reason for doubting that they have
lone together.
ite carrying trade on this canal keeps in employ
two: lines—the old lihe of ivhich 1, Mathews is
agent and which rune . daily, employing regularly
some fifteen boats, and the line of which E. N. Parks
lz Co. are agents. The old' line his frequently this
Season had two boats running daily. During. the

of Anti-SlaV'ery doctrines, addressed a crowded
andience Temperance Hall, SinitlAeld street,
yesterdey afternoon. He was welcorned by Mr.
G. B. Vashon, in a very clever speech, barring the
redundancy of words. Mr. Douglass is a very
eloquent speaker, and exhibits intellectual great:
ness; and we doubt not . he would do great good to
those for whom he so zealously labors, were he to
exercise a little Mort liberaliiyinwaids "those Who

" slaveholder" would convey Mr..D.'s idea quite
as well as "man stealer," "thief," or "plunderer."
THE FLECK CASE-'HABEAS ConPus.—Yesteruay
morning, the Gerranns,who have been for two weeks
imprisoned on a charge of murder, nonimitted at the
house of Fleck, Firth ward, werebrought before His
Honor, Judge LOWRIE, on a writ of Habeas Corpus,
sued out by Mr.., Alden, ,Attorney for Defendants.
Mr. Knox, appeared thr Commonwealth; and stated
that he had not been notified of theproceeding in
time to prepare, and, asked that the case be post
poned until one o'clock in the afternekon, which was
done.
At one o'clock the case was again taken up, and
a number of witnesses examined on the part - of, the
commonwealth, but npthing in relation to the rest
was elected in addition to what has alireiidy, been
published. Three of the prisoners were discharged
for the purpose ,of tieing called - upon as Witnesses,
but- their testimony did not 'strengthen the - - case
for She prosecutor. After addreisel by Mr. Knoi,
for Commonwealth, and Mr. Alden, for Defence, his
Honor, Judge LOWRIE, decided ;hal' there was not
sufficient testimony to jintify him receiving bail tor
the appearance of the delendiats, and therefore they
were severally discharged.. - • •
PITTSBURGH CC/AV.—The people of Louisville
are rejoicing on the arrival of large supplies of
coal from -our city. Tlie poorer classes - in that
city are, it appears, very grievously imposed upon
by coal speculators, during seasons of low water;
as dealers - put up the prices 25 to 50 percent.—
The Democrat says: This exaction'falls . almost
exclusively on' the poorer classes of the communi
ty, who are able only to buy by the single ton.—
the wealthy always lay in their supply When it
lowest. Had the plan, suggested twelve eigh
teen months since; of a Fuel Mutual &ring's So
defy, been adopted, this rise and fall- in the price
of coal would haie been effectually restrained.,
