Tup WESTERN CONTINENT. In the last
,,,,,hor or this valuable Family Journal it is
announced that Mr. VIM. Taylor has transfer
red his interest in the paper to Messrs. Samuel
Smith and VIM. T. Thompson, by whom it
will in future be conducted. Mr.. Thompson
reputation as an agreeable writer is well estab-
lished, and we have no doubt that the Western
Continent under its new propnetors, will be
most desirable family newspaper. 1t is hand
somely printed, and the price (s2 per annum,)
is so very low, considering the size OF the pa
per- that we anticipate for it most extensive
circulation Sincerely do we hope that the
new proprietors will receive All ample recon-
pensc for the arduous laboFs which they will
have to undergo.
The PHrLApELPmA TINES. This journal
assures us that it has joined no "unholy ALI
ance," and that as regards tariff, it has al
ways been opposed to high duties or course

presumed to know more about the matter than
oursel es, but we are at loss to find out from
whom it purchases "the news forwarded by the
Teleuraph." What huckster isit that has set
up shop and by an exclusive use of the teie-
graph, is enabled to retail out, for certain
sum of money, all intelligence received by it,
Is he not a free trade man-one who is con-
stantly harping upon monopolies, aud caution
ing the people to beware of their dangerous
tendencies. As the Times asserts that it does
not belong to this new monopoly-this "unho-
" alliance we presume it is at liberty to say
from whom it purchases the news, if not from
the combination referred to.
"WHEN DoCToRs DISAGREE" SC. The
Washington Union asserted a few days ago,
that at the next session of Congress the new
tariff act " ould certainly be SO amended as to
afford more protection to the coal and iron in
terests of Pennsylvania This assertion was, as
a matter OF course, reiterated the next day by
the little free trade organ in Baltimore, which
generally receives its cue from the Union, but
unfortunately for the pair of them, no one be-
leved what they asserted. Hear what the n.
Y.Globc, another free trade paper, says on the
subject;
awe have made up our minds to state plain
ly to those who wish to hold out inducements
to portion of the people Of Pennsyl vania, that
the next Congress will increase the duty on
coal and IRON, that no such thing will occur
We say to Pennsylvania, that the next change
in the duty on iron will be made in the oes-
cending, instead Of the ascending, scale"
SICKNESS IN MARYLAND, We regret to learn
that great deal of sickness prevails in differ
ent sections of this state, particularly in thu
lower counties of the Western Shore Tht
prevailing disease is bilious fever, which, al
though it readily yields to the proper remedies
is nevertheless a heavy affection, especially tc
the farmers, who are at this season of the year
busly engaged in securing their crops. The
continued excessive heat of the weather, to-
gether with the great abundance of vegetation,
will, we fear, generate an unusual amount OF
sickness during the present month. We are
glad to be able to state that so far the city
Blltmore is blessed with most excellent health.
