In PittSburg the pressure operates se-
vetey at present. 1t is intimated by some
of our exchanges, that unless the times get
better, and better currency is provided,
many establishments must wind up their
business and discharge the hands employed
in them. Many of the laborlng class have
already suffered very materially in the same
way. 1t is stated that 5000 have lately
been discharged ,most of whom are depend

WAR IN THE EAsT.--It would seem that
John Bull is trying to see how near he can
come to making his Yankee neighbors mad,
without actually rufiiing the eagles fea-
theirs The (Me.) Democrat of the 10th

a regiment of British troops had been sta
toned at Temiscouata lake, Oh the " dispa-
ted territory" in palpablc violation and con-
tempt of their agreement not "to seek to
take military possession Of that territory"
We have since learnt that they are extend
ing their military operations down the Mad
awaska river, and are now actually employ.
ed in constructing barracks on the north and
south side of the st. Johns river at the
confluence of the Madawaska. This not
only breaks the agreement made by Sir John
Harvey and General Scott, but Is an inua.
sion Of Maine by British military force,
and is equivalent to declaration of war,
and should be so considered by this state
and by the nation. What viii the people
and government of Maine, and the people
and government of the nation say TO this
new manifestation of good intentions and
friendly feelings of the British! What will
now be thought of the real object of the

The Manhattan Advertiser asserts that
the United States Bank of Pennsylvania
was not chartered by the Locofocos. The
editor has most probably forgotten. Edit
ors of administration prints have such trea-
cherous memories! They should never
trust to them-at least their readers should
not. The United States Bank was cnar-
tered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
at time when there was large Locofoco
majority in that body. Its charter was
bought for bonus paid by the Bank, of
about two millions of dollars; and the Gun
bought Democracy of Pennsylvania sold
their principles to Nick Biddle and took
payment in Bank rags! 1t was no longer
ago than 1885, and it is a wonder the edi-
tor has forgotten it, that the great "rag
baron," bought the Locofocos of Pennsyva-
mia, like so many sheep, for rags!-bank

FOREIGN NEWS


ARRIVAL Of THE LIVERPOOL
steamer Liverpool arrived at New York or
Thursday evening, bringing intelligence Is
days later.
We gather from the various New York
papers the following news, items.
The only news ofany importance,is the
Commercial, and the advces are decidedly
more favorable than were anticipated.
The negotiation of Mr.. Jandon with the
House of Hope and Co. for E 100000 had
fallen through for the present, and he had
been able without it to meet all his engage
ments.
The suspension of specie payments here
and at the south had caused no sensation
of any consequence. U. States Bank
Shares fell in consequence of it from G18 to
f16, since then an advance has obtained,
and 1t is quoted at something over GI6.
American State Securities had not been af.
fected by it. Pennsylvania SIS were sold at
80, for New York SIS 83 4 was asked.
Mr.. Rothchid had left Paris for London
to be present at the first arrival of news
from this country, as we learn from the Cor
respondence of the N. Y. Courier.
We notice that several large fires occur
red IN Constantinople which have DESTROY
ed several hundred houses. They are sup
posed to have been caused by the adhelents
of Mehemet Ali.
The crops in England have been of such
a nature as to prohibit, with the high du-
ties, the export of flour from this country
NJ the g -
Levant however, induce the belief that
market will be open IN that quarter, caused
by the scarcity IN Constantinople, and the
large forces concentrated IN that quarter.
The skful management of Mr.. Jaudon
under severe pressure of difficulties con-
tinued to be theme ofpraise from friends
and foes. ....
Cotton had advanced 3-sd. in consequence
OF short crops cry, and large purchase
by spectators. The news Of the immense
crops of this season had not then been re.
celved, and when it shall be, must neccessa-
rl'y prevent any further advance.
Another outbreak of the Chartists had
taken place at Newport, in Wales 1t was
put down by the Military, but several lives
were lost in the alfray.
General Bernard, for many years attach
I'd to the Engineers department in this
country, and recently Minister of War 10
he King ofthe French, is dead.
A large quantity of munitions of war had
'een seized IN Paris, which, joined to an
outbreak in one Of the provinces, had caus-
I'd some apprehensions to the government.
The Exchange between England and the
continent were becoming more favorable /
o Q England, and the Stock of Bullion in, the
'ank OF England had somewhat increased, j
consequence of arrivals from abroad.
Mr.. Webster did not arrive in the Liver. /
'ool as was anticipated, but was to sail in
ew days in the packet ship Mediator.
1t is reduced to certainty that EngIand's
queen is to be married to Prince Albert of !.

" A pint's a pound
The world around"

The federal party have always labored to
degrade the printer."-Ohio Statesman.
lfby the "federal party" is meant the
Wing party of the United Suites, there
was never more atrocious libel put in cir
culation. The Wing papers in the coun-
try outnumber the locofoco prints, by
nearly one hllf, and universally bear the
appearance of being better supported and
patronized. Is this an evidence of desire
to degrad"l Withdraw the Wing support
from the locofoco papers of Ohio, and half
of them would go down. Does this look like
conspiracy to degrade the printer! Seve-
raj instances have occurred in the United
States, where for good and substantial rea-
sons, the Wing support has been withdrawn
from locofoco prints, and the consequence
has, almost invariably, been that they have
fallen. But Mr.. Medary feels sore. A
Wing printer in Columbus has offered to do
the printing of the state fifteen per cent
lower than is nov paid to the bloated off,
clal who rejoices in the profits of that work.
Here is the attempt ofthe Wings to degrade
the whole printers profession, in the person
of Samuel Medary,. editor of the Ohio
Statesman--the incarnation of all the prin.
ters. in the world. What Nero must that
Wing printer have been, who manifested SO
bloody disposition to decapitate the whole
typographical universe by aiming a blow at
their proxy, the editor of the Statesman
