New-York daily tribune., 1842-08-10
Martin (! do you hear that 2

20 The Union deliberately falsfes what we
said in our last on the subject of Wool. We stat
ed the fact that, by the Tariff bill just passed,
chcap Wool was to be admitted at merely norri
nal duty, and fine Wool at a duty which, assuming
that The Union had stated the cost correctly, would
amount to little less than seven cents per pound
This we said to refute former falsehood Of The
Union, that the Tariff men were clamoring for a
duty of forty cents on Wool. But, instead of cer-
recting the old lie, The Union tells another plump
ly stating that The Tribune I" contends that tho
duty on cheap Wool will be only seven cents per
pound" Is there no sense of decency or shame
| in this rascally old proaigate
| AS to his reiterated falsehoods about negroes,
in defiance of the explicit statement of the facts by
us, they only subject him to the contempt and
| oathing of the reading community.
CsoToN WATER.-The Water Commissioners
say that the City of New-York is more abundanty
supplied with water than any other City in the
world. This statement, founded on actual calcu-
lations made by scientific men, is found to be cor
rect Why then do the Commissioners restrc,
the citizens who use the water in their families,
to halfinch pipes from the street conductors into
their houses We saw lad yesterday trying to
| wash the pavement by attaching hose to the acan-
do,e acasher or pavement hydrant; but the stream
was very much like the squirting of water thros h
a goose quill In Philadelphia the pipes are not
less than three quarters Of an inch. They ought
not to be less in New-York. The amount of wa
ter which family will use in year will be jus,
as much with small pipe large one, The
| advantage of the large one is in the saving OF
time and in the facility which it gives in cleans
ing the payements and streets. We would be glad
to learn that the threequarter inch pipe was adopt
ed here.
| % Noah is disturbed by a concentration of the
terms treachery and Henry Clay in the Wing
| Ward Resolutions. He is too easily huttered.
Nobody is indignant at his treachery, for nobody
expected him to stay with US longer than he was
paid for so doing. His instincts all lead him TO
the side of humbug and knavery.
% We mentioned yesterday the burning of the
American Theatre at New-Oreans. The Picayune
says that it undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary Not article of the valuable furniture was
saved or insured. The building was insured for
about $4,000, and with this SUN it is intended to
rebuild the theatre.
! D The Montreal papers say that DR.. Walfred
Nelson is about the practice of his pro-
ession in thar city. Dr.. Nelson was almost the
only man of character and commanding talents
who took part in the Canadian rebellion. His re-
putaton as surgeon was of the highest order.
Since his exile from Canada he has been practis-
ing his profession with eminent success at Platts
bsrgh, N. Y.
