The r ta tr, to use Andy's expression, was regularly
bettered. It was too nmch to renounce formally, and
far ever, the purest object to which, in spite of himself,
his purest feelings and affections cluug—he looked up
intbe ether's face with a most indescribable expression
of vexation and perplekity—

PHILLIP:3 ST. SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS
PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 23, 1843
TIRE AQUEDUCT.—The condition of the Aqueduct,
across the Allegheny, is such as to render its use impos
sible for the balance of the season. This, however,will
not interrupt the business on the Canal, as some boats
will load and unload on the Allegheny aide, and others
will come through the outlet lock, and land their freight
at the Monongahela wharf.
Since it became apparent that, to ensure safety, it
would be necessary to rebuild the Aqueduct, an inte
resting di russion has sprang up between the citizens of
Alleghent and Pittsburgh, as to the necessity of such a
construction. The people of Allegheny urge that for
all the purposes of business, it is just as convenient fur
the depots to be on their side of the River as on ours,
and boats that wish to land at the Monongahela wharf
can pass through the outlet lock, and reach their desti
nation more conveniently than by going over the Aque
duct, and through the Tunnel. They argue that this
plan, besides furnishing the samefacilities to business.
will save the state die immense sum that will be requi
red to rebuild the Aqueduct—a consideration which
certainly is not to be _treated lightly in the pr_tsent fi
nancial condition of the State.
However plausible the reasoning of our neighbors
may appear, it is evident that Pittsburgh is the proper
termination of the Canal, and any project that would
deprive her of the advantages she has heretsfore recei
vnd from it, ;vOuld not only be an act of the most flag
rant injustice to the men who have expended large sums
in fitting up warehouses at the Basin, but would be of
most serious injury to the interests of the great body of
her citizens. Our Allegheny friends will, no doubt,
make a strong effort to prevent the rebuilding of the
Aqueduct; but we trust no representations that can be
made will induce the Legislature or the Canal Board
to entertain a project that would have such a disastrous
influence on the interests of our city, and render a por
tion of the public works—and the most expensive por
tion too—cmirely InCless.
PROGRESS OF AssoctATtox•—T`he Fourierists of
New Jersey have purchased 670 acres of land near
Monmouth, where an Association will be located im
mediately. The Domain is under a high state of cut.
tivation and the members are going vigorously into the
scheme.
The "Mardi wise Union" is the name of an A ssocia
iun organized last May, in the city 0r New York.—
They have a tract of land containing 30,000 acres, in
Hamilton county, N. Y., given to them by A. K.
MOREHOUSE, Esq.
Improvements of3oo acres of cleared lands, with 14
buildings of different kinds have been offered, apprais
ed by disinterested men, at $15,000, and accepted by
the Union. On these lands there are now growing
25 acres of potatoes, 15 acres of 0013,10 acres of buck
wheat, several acres turnips, beans and peas, and 160
acres of natural and seeded meadow for mowing. The
Boarding House, which will accommodate about 75
boarders, is now ready and will be occupied next week.
A large machine shop, saw and grist mill are in rapid
progress of completion, and will be in operation in 30
days. There are dwelling houses sufficient for the ac
commodation of 12 or 15 families. A school house
has been erected and enclosed,which will soon be ready
fur use. There is a commodious storehouse on the
pt encases..
The operations on the lands and on the buildings,&c•
are under the immediate supervision of the President
of the Union, Ezra Thompson, Esq., and other mem
bers of the Executive Council; and the Association is
iva flourishing condition. Morehouse, besides giving
the laud, has already put in ten thousand dollars' worth
of improved property at valuation, and one thousand
dollars in cash, for which he receives the arkof
ilso Joe* hts -*bole ' dies to its hi
tereets.
There are now actively employed in the Union forty
men and ten families, making in all about 70 sonls.—
A great many more are settling their affairs and mak
ing preparations to go to the Domain very soon.
This Union is organized on the principle
. of a joint
stock company or interest, with a constitution of the
most liberal character, which admits of resorting to
every good measure to promote its best interests.
The Union is located near Piseco village, at the head
of a most beautiful lake of the sante name, six or sev
en miles long and from two to four wide, abounding
in fine salmon and trout. It is in the township of Ar
lotto, Hamilton co., N. Y. For further information in
relation to this Association, the reader is referred to the
office of the Union at 111 Fulton st., New York.
A convention is shortly to be held in Rochester, for
the purpose of organizing an Association near that city.
There are men and capital sufficient in that part Of
New York for half a dozen Associations.
From this, and information of the same kind which
we receive from all parts of the country, we may safely
say that the scheme of Association will, in a few years>
be fully and fairly tested.

hitherto felt the existence of total abstinence) he gave
the pledge to 2000.
A party fight—one of the most spirited of the season
--took place in the House of Commons on Friday.—
The principal combatants were Lord John Russell, Sir
Robert l'eel, Lord Palmerston, and Lord Stanley.
IRELAND.
Ireland is still the vortex of agitation. The rent
flows in and O'Connell is as energetic as ever. Sir
R. Peel looks passively on—reserving; the determina
tion to extinguish the flame when it burns out.
The repeal rent for the last week amounted to
£ 1600.
The military force now in Ireland amounts to 35,-
000 men.
An order has been received at the Royal Artillery
Barracks, Woolwich, for an entire company of that
corps to proceed forthwith to Ireland
The Dismissed Magistratcs.—At a meeting held
in Waterford on Tuesday evening, the following reso
lution was adopted, on the motion of Mr. Hayes, bar
rister:—`That each of the patriotic gentlemen who, for
their advocacy of repeal, were tyrannically dismissed
from the magistracy, be presented by, the repealers of
Waterford with a gold medal.

centrate the troops in Ireland, and all the small de
tachments will be called in Barrack's long unoccupied,
am ordered to be furnished for the accommodation of
troops; and station a where of late, only a company was
quartered will have a complete regiment. Far more
is doing towards placing the country in a state to be de
fended, than merely meets the eye. Troops are at the
most convenient points for transmission; and we know
that arms and amunition are disposed at safe places in
this country for their being sent over when required.
The second Tuam repeal demonstration took place
on the 21st ult., on the race course of Gurraws, about
two miles from the town. It was very numerously at
tended. Several resolutions were passed.
The dinner took place in a large room of the Mitre
Hotel, accommodating about 400 gentlemen, and near
ly.half the number of ladies as spectators.
Mr. O'Connell adressed the company for upwards of
an hour. They had arrived, he said, at a crisis which
would leave Ireland a degraded and pitiful province for
centuries, or raise her at once to the dignity of a na
tional independence. While compelling England to
do them justice, they had never omitted to warn her
that they were agitators w ith ulterior views and that
they had in contemplation the nationality of Ireland.—
Mr. O'Connell alluded to the myriads of determined
repealers who had attende d the several repeal demon
strations, observing, that even if England were in a state
of perfect prosperity, Ireland now possessed amoral
force sufficient to break down every barrier that stood
in the way of her independence; but, instead of that, the
manufactures of England were declining, and her reve
nue, notwithstanding the income tat, was diminishing

On Tuesday the usual weekly meeting of the Na
tional Repeal Association was held at the Corn Ex-
I change, Dublin.
Mr. O'Connell begged to make the following report:

The meeting adjourned to two o'clock on Wednes
day, when the Association again met.
It was announced that the Repeal rent for the week
amounted .£2,198 19s .
SPAIN
According to the late advices, the revolution in
Spain was advancing with rapid strides. The revolu
tionists, with the insurgents, or Lopez Ministry, had
entered Madrid, and assembled there on the 26th.—
They had appointed the Duke of Bavlen provisional
guardian of the Queen, and had changed the Munici
pality of the city. They were deliberating whether to
convoke the Cortes, or to forma central Junta. Two
divisions of the insurgent troops had marched from the
capital for Andalusia, one of 7000, and the other of
5000 men. Espartero and Van Halen were on the
22d bombarding the city, and on the 23d a flag of truce
was presented. The Queen held a levee on the 25th
ult., at which all the members of the Lopez Ministry,
the officers of the army, and Deputies of the Provincial
Juntas had the honor of kissing her majesty's hand.
The object of Espartero's attack upon Seville was a
question of discussion. It was surmised that he was
desirous of obtaining a contribution in money for some
emergency.
When the insurgent army approached Madrid it was
resolvedby a council of war to defend the city to extre
mity. The corpse diplomatique assembled to take
measures for the protection of the Queen, and drew up
a note, which the British Minister, Mr. Ashton, refused
to sign. Mr. Ashton prepared one in English, which
the other ministers refused to sign. Mr. Washington
Irving, the American Minister, was then requested to
draw up a note which was , approved of by all but the
British Minister. Ou the 16th a new note was drawn
tip, signed by all the Ministers, and sent to die Go
vernment. Their interference proved unnecessary.—
When the troops of General Narvaez; and those of the
Regent under Setione and Zurbena, after an engage
ment of about a quarter of an hour, the two armiesfra
terstlized. Seanne and a son of Zurbano were taken
prisoners. Zurbano escaped. The Municipality then
resolved to go out, and surrender the city uncondition
ally.
The events of the past fortnight in Spain, have ter
minated in the downfall of Espartern, whose regency
is crushed forever. The whole country is disorganized

the Election News from Tennessee. One would neve r

deavors to make up for its neglect, however, by giving

but the news from there is glorious "news" this time.

Messrs. Editors: I have been much pleased with
yourjust remarks, from time to time, on the manage
ment
of our improvements, and the evidence you have
so frequently given of their prosperous and promising 1
condition It appears, however, that all the convinc
ing proofs that have been furnished, and the many facts
now familiar to all our business men cannot prevent
the efforts of the sinister and designing to misrepresent
our carrying trade, and the policy which must inevita
bly make it a source of wealth to the State. These
remarks have reference to an anonymous writer in the
Aurora, who, of course, has some object in view.—
W hat that object is I leave the public to conjecture, but
I have two or three plain questions to ask, which I
I hope he will consider worthy of candid replies.
By an official statement in a late number of the Post,
sliewingthe tonnage brought westward to, and shipped
eastward from, Pittsburgh, during four months of the
present season, it appears that the eastern tonnage is
about double that of last year for the same time.
Now taking this fact into view, I ask, upon what
ground does ho rest the insinuation that the tolls have
not increased at the Eastern offices?
And again, how could the immense quantity of
freight sent eastward, as established in said statement,
fail to increase the tolls at the eastern as well as at the
western offices?
- -
This writer also intimates that the heavy crops, and
not the introduction of the portable boat system, caused
the increase of trade this spring. Is it true that the
crops of 184.2 were so unusually abundant? I think
not. But admitting, for argument's sake, that they
were, would the surplus have come here, or coming
here, could it have been forwarded at rates, and in time,
to accommodate shippers, had it not been for the intro
duction of the portable boat system? As these are
proper questions, having a direct bearing upon the
important subject which he is laboring to explain, I loek
for plain straight forward answers. TRUTH.
