THa ARRANORMIENT COMPLETED. — We learn from
yesterday's Gazette that Mr M. M. GRANT has with
drawn from that establishment, and Mr WHITE is now
axle in hil glory. The dizsolution is an amicable one,
and took place simply for the reason that Mr GRANT
could not conscientiously take any part in advocating
the election of Grand Masten CLAT - ,and . Mr WHITE,
although an Antimason, was eager and anxious to en-
Age in that enterprise. Mr °ain't signified his wil
lingness to withdraw from the concern provided he was
paid for his interest, and to seulizthis little difficulty,
we understand that fifteen Clay, Whigs, some of, them
memborsiof the lodge, have purchased an interest to
the amount of two hundred dollars each, in the Gazette,
and, of course, will hereafter have an influence over its
conduct.
With the exception of these .fifteen purchasers of
Mr. Grant's interest, Mr. White is now the sole edi
tor of the Gazette, and he will no doubt use all his
effortato edvance the new cause in which he has em
barked. It is strange to find a person who has ma*
such loud professions of antimasonry and and slavery,
supporting a Grand Master Mason and a slave holder.
Wit those are strange times and Clay politicians hare
strange notions of political honesty and consistency,
and they think that the people have no business to
enquire into any secret arrangement they may make
which they think will advance their purposes.

which operates but a short distance from this Borough,

that the Coal Company was forcing ti em to work for

"black brass." They and their families were starving..
They refused to mine any longer. The Company
broil's& them up for trial on these bonds. Of course
the Magistrates gave it against the Laborers, and six
of them have been sentenced to six months imprison

has been thrown into the Queen's Bench. Now, some

IRISH AFFAIRS.
We expect O'Connell here on Friday or Saturday
next,to recommence the agitation in the Queen's Bench.
Some of the Tory papers have given out that he was
ill. Then• is not the slightest found iti in for the ru
mor. The thought, however, was begotten by the
Irish. Ho bas received public invitations from the
citizens of Tatlee, Cliztimel, and elsewhere in the :oath
to dine with them, some of which he accepts, others
he postpones.
The note of preparation for the State Trials is, beard
en every aide. Reporters from all the morning papers
in London are in town. Some of the Scotch, and many
of the Provincial cities of Eugland are represented
here. Every newspaper published in Ireland has its
representative here, whh pencils and pens already
sharpened ! Even the priest of France have announced
their well contrived ••arrangements" to give their read
ers tho earliest and wispiest information about the
State Trials.
The solicitors for the defence are active in their prep
arations. They haveillkided Ireland into prosecution
districts, for each of which they have appointed local
solicitors, whose bnsiness it will ba to procure and sift
the evidence which each locality, where a monster
meeting was held, can furnish. Their object is to
procure the evidence of the wealthiest and oldest in
habitants, who witnessed these meetings, to prove their
peaceful character, and the absence dell outrage. in
sult, terror, or apprehension, at those meetings. The
second object will he to confront the', crown witnesses
in many of the statements to which they have sworn,
and which can he proved untrue. And next, to testify
as to multitudinous meetings held by the Conservatives
of the North Of-Ireland, from which certain outrages
and breaches of the peace emanated. All these exam
inations will occupy the Court for months. The ac
cused being indicted under a 'penal enactment, must
be suffered to offer all the evidence they think necessa
ry to their defence.
O'Connell distinctly, stated at the great Repeal
Banquet given to Wm. Smith O'Brien at Limilick,
that an offer to compromise the proseintions on his
pledging himself to give up the Repeal agitation; was
distinctly made to him, and his reply then uttered was,
"he would rut in a dungeon first."
The tyranny of England rests on the ignorance of the
people. The 'Repeal' is 'the wedge by which alone
it can be split into convenient pieces.
You will see that the Tory Times of London is very
angry with honest John Tyler, for the independence he
manifests in his message. His talk about the Oregon
Territory, and the admission of Texas into the Union
has alarMed all Toryland. Ireland reveres the name
of Tyler

age, whose testimony, with a number of ethers of like
ago, went to show that these men received the visits
of these girls at their office for a long time past, almost
' every day and nigher in the week, not excepting Sun
days, and that their intercourse with two of them, at
least, was of a criminal character. Two of them
swore directly to the rect. These two stated that they
had been operated uplt.,for oblique vision, by a knolifs
uptiudmist who residedln this city some time age,
and who finally succeeded in putting both ofthern intim
road to ruin. One of the girls, it seems, had introdu—
ced some of the others to the defendants, She decoying
one from her Sabbath school, and another fiva her
home, introducingAem to one of the defendeettas a
cousin. From OW statements, it appears Mat they
were frequent .burs, renthining often for hours at
the o ffi ce. Ornittriaasion some of them were made
drunk. One of the victims, an artless looking girl, is
represented as demented, who sworepoint blank against
both of the defendants. The parents of these girls are
ignorai of the affair, with the exception of one, and
they have taken rneaseres to put her into House of Ref
uge. Through her arrest, and her subsequent disclo
sures, the matter has been brought to light. The scene
was one of the most afflicting character. A father and
mother with a ruined daughter, sixteen years of age m
ay, five or six other girls. dispoiled in character, all
testifying to their own shame, and theirparents unad
vised of their several situations. They were commit
ted in default ofbail, at $5OO each for further exami
nation."

THE BEST AND CHEAPEST PENNY PAPERJ,
For publishing a New Daily;ging Yaper-in esti
ty, to be
THE DAIL • BEE."
"BY INDUSTRY At THRIVE.°
ON or about the sixth of February, the undersigned
will commence the publicatiet of a new Daily,
neutral paper, bearing the above title. On appearing
before the public as Journalists, mashie regard rot the
intelligence and discrimination of that riablic seems to
require that they should premises brief indication of
the leading features of the new Journal.
The materials fur romance 'and reality; fan, and in
teresting scones and. stories of every descriptia, which
transpire in our goodly city, afford the journalist afield
over which he can never wander without amassing a
thousad incidents for his pew. Located, then, in the
midslifif these facilities, it would bt passing strange if
a paper, endowed with obselivant and capable writers,
should not receive aliberal support. •
Under the head of "Distant News," will be compri
sed a spirited accou all that occurs in the money
ed, political, moralWilosophical and aristocratical
world, of our own country, together with the Foreign .
News brought by the New York andßoston packets.
In thee ompilation of "Domestic Intelligence," we
shall endeavor to present a true glimpse of the Iron
Guy in which we live. Its newa t deeds, jokes, police
occurrences, theatrical reports, criticisms, and s matters
and things, a true report of our general and money
markets, latest rivet news, &c, &c.
The characteristics of the Bee will be a strictly mo
ral, healthy tone --temperate in argument. and iode
;pendent in conduct—blaming vice whenever and where
ever found, and lauding virtue, though it live in the
mind. In politics the Bee will profess and practice
an armed neutrality. It will pick flaws on both sides,
11.4 occasion rnuy require, and "friends politi
cal" as often as enemies.
Our firm being composed of practical printers, we
confidently assert that the Bee will not lesurpassed
either in point of interest or typographical tartness
by any city journal.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Daily Bee will be furnished to subscribers every
morning, (Sunday■ excepted) either in Pittsburgh or
Allegheny, at the extreme low rate of $3 per annum,
or $1,50 for six mouths. Single copies can be procu
red for one cent, either at the office or from the news
boys. The Bee will be printed on a medium sheet,
and on good paper, with entire new type purchased ex
presely for the purpose.
