It is, in deed, a pity to say any thing to disturb so agreeable a delusion. But a delusion it is as all wise men know. The fire of repeal is a flame that will not go out of it self, and wo to those who would trample it out and vi olently extinguish it. The torrent of Irish repeal is a stream, _”Like the Pontiac sea, Whose icy current and compulsive course Neer feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on To the Pmpontic end the Hellespont.". The time for arresting its course has paused. The time for reralling a confidence and a reverence that have been so shamelessly abused, has long since gone by. Only one course is left us—thst.of quietly and de cently disposing ourselves to make terms with the in evitable, and taking counsel how we may beat adjust . the method and the conditions of repeal. . It is a sad thing to come to this necessity with our eyes open, but it is far.aadder to be clutched be necessity neaware. .Shttrilki /11/1111A irmy .11051110 'V SIIIIIrf • ditotoicas sivrrzi,wk * Derr/wry ttlfof 4Z lil stvirin "."-pivannrng •t -4 }c • r suor •' t3"111111N 11110 f 1 'cumuli lazsoli picnic Ix7l TA - 4inrX7llll ■sot §imario 'funs -At -0 • §NoirliAi ilitgON .21 - nyia SEittf .114TIlic as it .ic •KAI - tuaoalTrip kolicis lalaivu If~T 111 M " 4 ol7inolJl nvtila •tNostaaoyW inor -411IftlYf NIG IiVIIIV ' 4231/71TAL 3.11“0111 CLAD 103 Y( .111110 .1.11.7110 H 411011 VI NHOf tX ll4 " ° /1 .

PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11 Tax GIRARD COLLEGE.—.The Democratic Com mittee of Superintendence of Philadelphia has prepa red and published a brief statement showing the scan dalous and shameful misapplication of the Girard Col lege Fund, by the Whig Councils, aided by the advice of Nicholas Biddle. The fund originally consisted of two millions. Ac cording to the first estimate, the college and its out buildings were to cost 900,000, and were to be finished in Ir years. It was confidently supposed that the annu al income of the fund (102,000) would in that time pay for erecting the College. Ten year have passed—two of the out buildings are not even commenced, the prin cipal building is not two-thirds finished, and the fund is dwindled from two millions to $336,277 60. Of course tae buildings can never be finished. on the plan they have been commenced, and if they were, nothing would remain to maintain 300 orphans, which number, it Was the intention of the benevolent testator, should always find refuge, support and instruction Within the walls of the edifice be directed to be built. From pre sent appearances the remainder of the fund will be swallowed up in lawsuits, or lost by some sort of ras cality. One thing is certain, the wishes of Girard will never be carried out. The orphans who ho desired might yearly go forth upon the sea of life, blessing his memory, and made rich in learning by his bounty and benevolence, will never realize the blessings he design ed for th,m. We quostionif a m3re monstrous outrage Was ever before committed in a county where laws aro at all respected.

Y. under the date of the 4th inst., says:—While writing, I heard the shock of an explosion, and upon running out saw a volume of smoke arising from the directio.l of Lathe's & Smith's Powdet Mills, some five mil e ,: front the village, which leaves no doubt that the mills are blown to the skies. dna perhaps several persons killed; there *as a greater quantity of powder in the mill than has been permitted to remain there before; some 500 or 600 lbs. The shock was tremendous. L rui ct GI GI 1-1.14. said that this gentleman, who is distinguished as a literary writer, as.d is now editor of the Phila.

The Clay Whigs who have been adding Maryland to Tennessee, and thereby ma king ap a recent encouraging account for the Presi dential contest, must ponder upon this, and try to fig ure out Clay's sucCess, without the aid of Maryland.

Tam was, in short, delighted with the way the matter had I been managed, and he thought the watch well lost, th nt-di it had been ten times the value. Wiritevir Tam's ideas were on the subject, Jenny ' felt conscious that it wa: her duty to replace the watch. Accordiagly, next time she met her lover, she allowed no time to elapse before she thus addressed him: "Now, Tam, ye ken very well how I have demolish ed your good silver watch; but it i 3 needless to regret I what cannot be helped. I stud' pay you for it every farthing. The one half I will give you when I get my hallyeir'3 wages et Marlemas, and the other half soon; as my brother has own me three pounds, which he promised to pay inc afore the next Fastern's e'en fair." We have only time to announce that the democrats of Allegheny have achieved a glorious victory. Our WHOLE TICKET IS ELECTED by a sweeping majority! The result is as we have all along predic ted; on some ofour candidates we brat the combined votes of the wbigs and antimasons, and some of the whig candidates leave the poor blue noses far in the fog. This is glory enough for one campaign. We will give particulars hereafter. Where Is the antima sonic party now! r We extract the following item, which will be very interesting to wine-bibbere, from the Phila. Timer: "Nearly all the winos drank in this country are base counterfeits. Wine is now manufactured in Europe of everything nasty, expressly for this market. Old boots make a very "spicy" wine particularly. Vegetables of various kinds are also employed, and it is said that in Jersey2oobbls per annum are made without a particle of grape juice. Defunct horses and cows are said to work up into this sort of drink very easily! To alter Phillips' verses, we may indeed say— Hail mighty wine! and by this general name We call each species, Sherry, Port, Madeira— The names are various, but th' effect 'a the same As it is likely most folks are aware--0— Onlyiet each man save up his old clothes and boots, and the very poorest may settle down in his "own vineyard," and (if be chooses to realize the expression of thescriptures) at a very small cost purchase of the "Horticultural" ajuvenile "fig tree." The Wiscasset Republican states that a strange fish was discovered near Saguia on Tuesday of last week, by Capt. Mclntire, of the schooner Adeline, of Yhips • burgh. The fish is described as about thirty-five feet long, his body was.tho size of a six ton bo it, and stri ped like a tiger, his head was flat like a snake, his fin like a boat's sail, his tail flat like a sail boat running to a point. Capt. Mclntire says ho sailed along side and pricked the fish with a harpoon, and that he shoved his body up against the vessel, and made her tremble as though she had struck a rock. Not having sufficient gear, did not harpoon him. When first discovered, he was a mile and a hal fdistant, and thinking it was a boat made for it. FOR PRgs . Subject to the decision of THE DEMOCRATIC NLTIORAL CONTENTION PHILLIPS & SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS GLORIOUS VICTORY! ANOTHER SEA SERPENT ANAN, In some of the country part; of Scotland, a custom prevails of young men giving their watches in trust to young women for whom they have declared their at tachment. The watch is kept and carried in the boscm of the fair one until the anxious couple are united in the bonds of wedlock, when, as a matter of course, the pledge of sincerity is given up to its original owner.— This is imagined by the country lasses to be an infinite ly better plan for securing the fidelity of sweethearts than that of breaking a sixpence. A watch is a valua ble and highly-prized article. It is worth at least a couple of pounds, and the loss of that sum by an indi vidual in an humble condition of life is a very serious matter. Still, we believe there are cases in which the proposed match is broken off, and the watch abandon ed forever; though, doubtless, this is only in cases of great fickleness, or when weighty reasons for desertion intervene. The following laughable incident regarding a watch, so intrusted, occurred a few years ago: Jenny Symington, a well-favored, sprightly girl, in a certain farm-house in Galloway, had been intrusted with the watch of her sweetheart, Tarn Halliday, (a neighboring shepherd,) which she carried, with the most scrupulous car', in herhasom; but even the most carefully-kept articles will sometimes disappear in spite of all the precautions considered necessary to pre serve them. Jenny, be it known, was esteemed a first rate hand at preparing potatoes for the family supper; none could excel her at serving them up, beaten and mashed id the most tempting style. On one occasion, in harvest, when the kitchen was crowded with a num ber of shearers waiting for their evening meal, and while Jenny was busy beating a 1112.1 s of potatoes. what did the unlucky watch do but drop front her bo som—chain, seals and all—into the pot among the po tatoes! Jenny's head being turned away at the mo ment, she knew nothing of the disaster, and therefore continued t. beat on at her task. She certainly felt a little surprised when she felt there was still a hard tato to beat, notwithsta.oling her previous diligence; but, thinking nothing of it, she continued to beat, occa sionally giving the hard potato (alias the watch) a hard thump with the end of the beetle. At length, she .ho't she had fairly completed the business; and no, infusing , a large jar of sweet milk into the mess, she stirred hall up together, and then placed the vessel ready fhr the attack of hungry lookers-on. Behold, then, the pat— t round gaw so tripod, plant ed in the middle of the floor. A circle was formed round it in a trice. and hera f.ar horn the shearers be gan to stretch and sttive. Many mouthfuls had not been taken before certain queer looks were manifested. "Dlel's in the tatties,' says one, "I think they've got bane; in them." "Bane;!" says another, "they're the canniest banes ever I saw; they'rem tde o' broken glass and pieces o' I brass; I'll sup nae mair o' them." With that, another produced a silver watch-case, all battered and useless, from hi; capacious horn spoon; and a universal strike among the suppers ensued.— It was clear that a watch had been beaten up with the pat hoes; so the good wife had nothing for it but to or der the disgraced pot out of the way, and place abasket of oatmealcakus andmilk in its place. What was poor Jenny's feelings during the strange denouement ! On the first appearance of the frog= meets of the watch, she siippedher hand toiler I sent, and soon found how matters stood. She had the for titude, however, to show no symptom; of surprise; and, ' although every one was wondering where the brokeit watch had come from, she did not disclose her knowl— edge of how it finind its WrtV in the pot. As it had het°. nged to no one in their use, them aerials were not idea- "My dear, Jenny." said the young man, takinm b her kindly by the hand, "I beg you will say nothing about this ridiculous affair. Ido not care a farthing fur the loss of the watch, mair by token; I have gotten a rise in my wages free the new laird, for I maun tell ye I'm now appointed chief herd in the Ca's Hope. Howev er, to take any payment from you, to rob you of your hard-woo penny fee would be disgraceful. No, no, I will take none of your waTes; but there is one thing I will take, if you are willing, and which I hope will make us both happy fur life." "And what may that b?, Tam, now that ye're turned grand head shepherd?" "I will take," said he, "yourself; bet. mind, I do not ask you as a recompense for a paltry watch. No; in my eyes your worth is beyond all estimation. If you will agreelo be mine, let it be done freely; but whether you are willing to marry me or not, from this time henceforth the watch is never more to bespoken of." What followed may easily be imagined. Tam and Jenny were married us soon as the plenishing for the cottage at the Ca's Hope could be prepared; and at the wedding the story oldie watch and the potato pot was made the topic of much merry mirth arnlog the as sembled company,. The last time we visited Jenny's mAtage, we remind ed her of the transaction. "Houts," said she, "that's an old story now. The laird has been sae well pleased w i' this gudeman, that he has gi'en him a present o' that eight-day clock there. It cost eight pounds in Jane Dockie's at theeast part o' Dumfries; and there's no the like in all the parish." MACREADY, the great actor, is 50 years of age!— But then what are years?—the mere progress of Time—wrinkle-forging, gray-hair enveloping, teeth-ex tracting Time? Events, not years. mark ° the age of man. Some men live a century in a score of years, and some a month only in a century. A French phi losopher once asserted that life consisted of butso ma ny pulsations of the heart. He who revelled in excite ment lived faster and died earliest, he who lived a tranquil and quiet life, clung to earth the longest, acd died late. There is math abstract truth in this fanci ful theory. Either way Macreadv has lived almost an eternity; but genius, like the fable Mexican spring, still renders young and buoyant the spirit that care and years have set their wrinkling palm upon in vain. , • INS AND o> °s. cask. ind so, o i tt wa ne , r 4 pocket room to I'm out of patience, just because, rm never out of debt; • Besides I'm dreadfully in love, And more than half in doubt, Which is the greatest evil, that Of being in or oat. ~ I'm deeply in my tailor's books, But I don't mind a dun And if I wasn't out of funds, I'd pay him out of fun.

BUM-BAILIFFS AND THE REBSCCAITES. ...v l rbe London Morning Chronicle of 19th September, aeries from the Welshman the following amusing illua triation of the strange condition of IVales:.---"At 1 o'clock lett Monday morning (it was beautiful moonlight mid t) about ei g hty ßebeccaite reformers of the law rode up to the farm-house of his worship the Mayor or ex-mayor of Kildweldy, who, like Sheridan and rase great men, had attracted to his house a brace of those barons of the law, conventionally known as bum-bailiffs. These gentlemen were the honored guests of Mr. May or, and ft was 'intended by the Sherif t h at lifer the pleasures of the table and a good night's rest they should further enjoy themselves by distraialog es itis worship's live cattle, &c.—a species of sport which is considered equal to shooting, and which beats '9)01- ' fighting hollow. Becca, however, spoiled the antici pated sport, protested to the Mayor that they were poachers, and insisted upon his turning them ont. The Mayor thus addressed, thrust his head out of the win dow and begged the Beccaites to be quiet. No; they wouldn't. The Mayor remonstrated . , implored,the 'ruthless reformers at least to respect t he rights of "hos pitality. Guests, he said, were in his house. 'Are they welcome ones?' bawled Becca at the top of her voice—'Are they welcome guests?" chornseed the noble army of law reformers. The Mayor is a religious man (a resident at Kidwelly, he had not learned the art of lying from any cantinghypocrite at Llanelly,) nor could not deny that the burn-bailiffs were rather unwelcome guests; so be was silent. Becca immediately foreed the outposts of the Mayor's castle, an entrance effect ed, the dormitory was easily gained, and the barns were in double quick time bundled out of bed. 'Down upon your marrow-bones you beggardly bums,' author itatively exclaimed Becca—instantly down went the poor devils on their knees. 'Swear,' said Rebecca, assuming a solemn air, 'swear that you will never again 'attempt to execute another distress warrant.' 'We swear,' said the bums. 'Rise, then,' said Beets; 'come down into the yard, mount this mare dog-horse-des tined for the kennel, worth perhaps a pound) both of ye, and be off.' The bailiffs of course did not require to be told twice, and urged the skeleton hereciuto a walk by blows and kicks, they moved of thanking God for their providential escape." When we reflect upon the dangers the incident exhibits, our laugh at the pranks of Rebecca will speedily be displaced by the most se rious considerations. The miserable condition of the Welsh people has not been called into existence by re cent occnrrences: it is the effect of long operating mu ses, mis-government, absenteeism, partial legislation and grievous monopolies: hence thepr and the magnitude of the popular defiance of law. owe On the 15th September, a very large meeting of forme - Try - flirts laboret s, co ll iers, and others, was h eld at Bryn-llyu llech-Owen, on Mynyde Mawr, or the great mountain, about 15 miles from Carmarthen. The morning was wet and miserable, yet there could not have been less than between 2000 and 3000 present, most of whom were respectable farmers. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. They adopted an address to the Queen, stating theirgrievauces and begging her to redress them by the interposition of regal authority.— Our readers have undoubtedly been astonished very of ten to hear with what facility the English government have been able to suppress popular combinations. The veil has been lifted, however, by a gentleman of talent, who corresponds with the Weekly Register. This eor repondence attracted the attention of Mr. O'Connell, at the Usual meeting of the Repeal Association on Mon day, the 4th ult., when the liberator proceeded toread the following extract from the letter of "one who has himself whistled at the plough:" "I saw something on Tara-hill which at first I was trowillinz to believe, and which I did not wish to pub 'ish until I had inquired into it through letters to En land. I now find that the parties whom I saw thet h, . and whose conduct attracted my attention, users redlly what I rhapected them to be. Two or three of thee?? were Irishmen, known in London, the others women glish. lam not at liberty to say much more, at leest until next week; but I would warn you, and the Irish people through you, to be cautious beyond all fanner caution. That some hundreds of men, cr may bC their sands, did not get drunk, did not fall out and fight; and cause general riot on Tara-hill, to which the military and armed police would soon have beet shrnmoued, was nut the fault of the persons allticleci to, nor the fault of those who paid them to come =who hair also paid the same men and some others to follow Mr. Cob den from town to town in England, from Norwich London, from Loudon to Nlaidstone, from Maidstone to Winchester, and sevevral other places, to get up a riot, and upset his anti-corn law meetings." Mr. O'Connell said he believed the writer incapiblii of stating that which was untrue— He says that he knows these persons were hired.--: By whom? We know froai this gentleman who the people are who hired , Can it be supposed diey were hired by the British Ministry, or by seine one in the confidence of the police? Could there be any thing m fr.? horrible than to think that any go :erirmant should get up a riot fur the sake of massacre and glitighter? Now, people can sae how reform has been Stopped in England by the Llhartists, the bulk of that party having been used by other politicians for thd purpose of re pressing public opinion. If this system were to be perniitted=if they were to. have ciss - assins sent ov e r her, from England for the puilaise of producing rio t, and bringing about Massacre laud murder, there would scion be an end to all liberty in Ireland. The man who could fl sigma! act of that kind is a wretch that ought to be (1171.W11 to the scaffold. (Cheers.) If this tort duct were traced to the enemies ache Irish people, rind their undoubted right to ask for legal privileges, was put down by the strong arm of power, it would be their duty to consider what C.J.JititUtl3:lll resources were still left to them. PHILADELPHIA MARKETS, Oct. 6th.—The Pak svlvanian has the following report of the state of the Philadelphia market:— "Cotton is firm and fuir sales have been realized since our last report. Coffee has declined a shade; sales moderate and market well supplied. Flour seems to be rather on the advance; the sales this week have not decreased the stock, in the least. The stock on hand at present is heavy. In Glair) the prices appear to be very tinsel tied. There seems to be a large amount of very inferior southern grain in the market. Molas ses is dull, and prices seem to be rather declining.— Lead is in so demand, and the price remains steady. Sugars are not in much demand, the prices have gone down about quarter of a cent fur New Orleans and Trinidad. Wood and Coal remain at steady prices; the retail demand is increasing. The stock of coal on hand at present, though not heavy, is ample enough for a much heavier demand than is manifested at present.
