and trade appears to be improving. Hea-
Wy rains in the north have injured in some
degree the harvest, but the crops have ge-
ncrally turned out well.
Cotton was firm at former prices-and
other important articles Of Commerce were
looking up. Money was rather scarce.
1t is rumored that Admiral Codrington

THE Canaz-It affords US to pleasure to
be able to state that the work on the Canal
is now going on with much spirit-nume-
rous hands are employed at the carth-worll
and the protection wall in front Of the Llufls
near this town; and we have the fullest
confidence that the first mile, including the
dam eighteen feet in heighth across the
Milwaukee river, will be completed within
the next year. This will afford Us an i'm
mense water power in the town which will
induce the building of large Touring mills,
so much needed by the farmers, as afford
ing a ready market for their produce, even
the present season. AS soon as this part
is completed it will begin to produce re-
venue to the territory and the canal COM
pany, who have spent so much time and
money and encountered SO much opposition
in endcayoring 10 have this canal common

Extraordinary Laio Casc.-Some 2G
years ago, an lrishman married young
woman, his junior by Is years, in Liver,
pool, England, and set up a tavern on
large scale. A fine looking brawney fell
low, fresh from the 'Grccn Isle,' became
lodger, and in a short time made love 10
the hostess, and prevailed upon her clopa

Of the hotel, converted everything she
could conveniently into cash, and with her
lorer, anG all the tangabIcs that were port
able, set sail for America, leaving her hus-
band with the empty house, and as she
says Ito take care Of lis contents" The
eIopement was so well planned and exc
cuted, that her I" whereabouts" was ua-
known for Is years, when her forSakcn
lord obtained news Of her arrival and mar
riage in this country to her lover. \ few
days ago he arrived here, and in sho,,
time sought and found his long lost wife.
She Immediately dropped on her knees md
renewed her allegiance, and sworethat she
would be his again. Accordingly. she
packed up her goods. took several hun
dred dollars which her last husband had in
the house, and clopcd with her first hus-
band. When the last husband found out
his position, he commenced suit IN the
Superior Court Last Saturday, and has the
first husband arrested for Grim. con. and

ardent Spirits in Great Brituim.-T'

ardent Spirits in Great Britaim.-The
following alarming, though we doubt not,
correct estimate Of the cost Of intemper-
ance in the British empire, must be inter
esting to the friends oil temperance as well
in this country as in that to which it re-
fers:-
The Cost Of Intemperance che annu-
al meeting Of the British and Foreign tenn
perance Society was recently held in Lon
don. The Bishop Of Norwich presided.
In the course Of his remarks, he said there
were supposed to be in Great Britain 49,
100000 souls, who had consumed 25, 000,-
900 gallons of ardent spirits the cost of
bread for the support Of that number Of
people would be G25, 100000 whilst the
money expended for the above quantity Of
spirits, amounted to G45, 100000. This
quantity of spirits would form a river 100
miles, 80 feet deep, and as many feet wide.

condition of tie manufacturing interests of New En-
gland. why more than half of her manufacturing
establishments standing idle, and muitndes of her
mechanics out of employi II is simply because the
mania of obtaining credits in Europe, pervades the
mercantile importers; and the chcapness of foreign
commodities. subjects the American manufactures TO
ruinous competitor. Look next at the condition of
the westi the west has wants which must be sup
piled, by the manufacturer either at the cast in
Europe. Now there manufacturing capabilities
already in existence at the east adequate TO supply
ell the wants Of the west without the importation
ola single dollar from Europe. The mills are stand
ing idle, and the people out of employ for the want
of orders. 1t is easy to foresee the mutual benefits
that would result were the manufacturing abilities
of the whole eastern population called into full re-
QUESTION. While the west and the south, might be
supplyed with fabricks of American industry, rea-
dy market would at the time be created for the
cotton of the south, and the agricultural products of
the west. 1.-THE northern and New England States
were encouraged TO employ their capital in the va.
rous branches of mechanical and manufacturing in
dustry the west would never want for market,
and the south too, would participate in the general
benefit.
1t will be seen then that the interests Of the east,
west and sonth, are strongly Unidentified by nature
as we'll as the existing state of their respective pur-
suits. The equivalent which is paid for goods Of
foreign importation, is mostly required in cash; our
agricultural productions never have, or never can,
avail lis but little nothing in the payment of for
eign debts. By the operation of our present COM
mercial transactions, the cash capital Of both the
east and the west is every year draining to Europe.
We have endeavo.ed to state mpartially views
relative to the matter of western interest. What
seems to us the remedy, in order to the inte-
rests Of the west, can only be obtained by change
OF policy in cur commercial Transactions and unless
change id our commercial relations is effected we
cannot solve the question; what shsl! be done with
the future wheat crops of The west? With respect to
The powers of the government 10 guard our interests
by legislative enactment, we there is a
difference of opinion. But it would seem, that 60
vernment must be peculiarly unfortunate, which has
not the legitimate power to regulate its commercial
relations so as to protect the interests ofthe people
Oter nations less scrupulous in exercising their
powers to maintain the interests of the several clas
sos of their population. Great Britain guards with
studiogs care her agricultural interests; shall ours be
left to the fortuitons circumstances OF chance.y7l

In consequence of the mail due on Sunday evening

AS can infer, generally, the state of Penn
sy.vana has gone democratic by O handsome ma o.
rity; New Jersey has gone tho other way by small
majority, not sufficient TO indicate how she will vote

ed Governor of Ohio: Georgia has probably elected
the wing congressional ticket, it is uncertain howe
yer, but if sho has, it is than she has done
on former occasions. Arkansas has elected demo
cratic congressman. Maryland we gave in our last.
From Michigan we have nothing. Next week the
first gun in the great battle will be heard; the returns
from Illinois will be in, and every week thereafter
will furnish additional returns until all are in.

Large Vegetcbles.-Capt. Charles G.
Getting Of Bristol, has presented US with
bushel Of onions, raised on his farm this
season, which measure from IL to Il in
ches in circumference each, and count 90
onions to the bushel, good measure. Capt.
Getting has raised 30 bushels on spot Of
ground, which by measurement is found to
be equal to a produce Of 500 bushels to the
acre!
A conclusive evidence Of the superior
fertility of the soil of Wisconsin, is the ex-
traordinary growth Of vegetables. The
accounts which we almost daily receive,
as well as the many ocular demonstrations
with which we are favored Of mammoth
potatoes, pumpkins, beets, carrots, cabba-
ges, &c. &c. are TO us proofs conclusive,
that the soil Of this territory, yields to no
other country in point of Productivcness.
Notwithstanding all the oulogics, which
have been bestowed upon the fertility of
the bottom lands Of the Ohio, and the Wa
bash, the praires Of Wisconsin bid fair to
rank with equal merit, If there be any
difference in favor Of the product Of an
acre Of lane on the Ohio or the Wabash,
it is not owing TO the superiority of soil
over that Of Wisconsin, but to the influence
Of q more southern climate. \ latitude
farther south is Of course better adapted to
bring to perfection, a greater variety Of
the fruits Of the earth; but still, whatever
advantages a more southern climate, may
claim over US, with respect to some spc-
cics Of agricultural productions, we have
more than an equivalent in our favour
We have a territory unrivalled for health:
we have an atmosphere pure, buoyant and
oxhilcrating to the spirits. All the neces-
saries, as well as most OF the Injuries Of
life, can be produced here in the greatest
abundance; and when to this is added
health, what more can q reasonable man
desire.

Importance Of Agriculture The world
is in fair way to be driven into an appre-
citation Of the Importance Of agriculture,
and tho great truth will yet be understood,
that TO the labor Of the husdandman, &c the
production of actual wealth from the soil,
more than TO all the transmutations and
changes such wealth may afterwards I'M
dergo, is national prosperity owing. The
interests Of the world are identified it is
only when these interests are disarangcd
by ignorance or cupidity, that general dis
trCss cnsues.

Sci o2t Trees. The month Of October
is suitable time to set out ornamental
trees. This may dc done at a trAing eX-
pensc oftime or money : and the man who
possesses enlarged and liberal views, who
is not wrapped up in self, will take Plea
sure in thus contributing 10 the beauty Of
the town or village where he lives, and the
comfort Of the inhabitants. The man who
causes all elm, an ash, maple, or syca-
more to grow and flourish where none
grew and hourished before, may boast Of
having done one good deed, at least during
his life time. Plant trees thcn-thcre IS

THE GRAIN GROWING INTERESTS OF TIE
WEST.

WEST.
One Of the most important questions
which will at no distant day agltatc the pco-
pie Of this country, will be, what shall be
done with the wheat crops Of the west?
This question we doubt not, will soon be-
come one Of absorbing interest, and enter
largely into the discussions of the nation
and the government. An advance Of OPT
Mons Of this kind may be deemed prema-
ture and perhaps visionary, by those who
are not inclined to calculate future proba-
biitiss from the present condition Of things;
but he who will look dispassjonately at the
different producing interests in the United
States, must admit the time near at hand
when the wheat growing interest ofthe west
will assume formidable attitude. This
conclusion is not only justified by the his
tory of the past, but from present indca-
tons and existing circumstances. 1t is no
new thing in our history, for some great
produ cling interest 10 agitate the whole peo-
pie and divide the nation on great political
questions. The manufacturing interests of
New England; the cotton and sugar inter-
ests of the south; and the agricultural intc-
rests of the middle states, have each, in
times past, severed The body polite of the
republic, and enlisted the action of the CO.
vernment These results are ma turaI and
easy ofexplanation. A community,a state,
or number Of states, lying contiguous to
each other, are often connected in one ge-
neral interest, growing out of the peculia-
rites of climate, productions, habits, &c.
&c, Thus in New England, where the
soil is not generally prolific. and where the
natural facilities of propelIing machinery
are extensive, the general interests of the
people seem 10 be those of manufacturing
