the government is the rgnt one.
But writer in the U5,ion of November Sth, stin
more highly eulogises them and with entire justice
Referring to the three first numbers, he says
"In three successive Rumbers the Union has treat

equal and impossible to excel. The elevated tone
of the morality which pervades them the practical
regard for liberty and the everlasting nature OF
the principles which form their substance give them
prominent place among the State papers OF the
age In nearly forty years of the perusa and examin
alton of State papers from the pens of Madison Mon
roe Adams, Clay, Calhoun, and others the writer
has seen nothing that in the compass surpasses
them. They will be read for their talent their
iOnO
as the productions of the great men we have named
shall be read The reach of the principles EMBODIED
in them Is sublime, pervading and enduring.
Several numbers have been published since, and
they are all of sterling value. The last number IN
the Union of the 9th--"England and Cuba'-is
entitled to the full measure of praise bestowed by
the writer (A.) in the Union of November 9Th, In
conclusion the author says; 'If she England in
ssts on making issue, it will be met
And if Great Britain should persevere in her
hostile design, we shall be compelled to build a
much larger Navy than would ifspeediy construct
ed and put in active service, suffice to cause her to
pause and desist Plainly we should have a naval
force in the West Indies sufficient to met any which
she could safely detach from Europe. Diplomacy
as have all along said, can produce no permanent
settlement of the Turkish question. And England
cannot detach very large feet from Europe to
the West Indies while that question is pending
and it will always be pending until settled by force
Therefore now is time to settle this West India
question, and practically to give ascendaney TO the
MONROE doctrines as properly and reasonably
defined The out-posts of the Russian and Turk

occur before next enough will be done to
make strong irritation more irritable Noa0 is the

| You will perceive by the enclosed slip from the
Baltimore SIN of November 9th, that new i'm
provement is taking place in transportation between
Baltimore and Philadelphia, which it is important to
merchants, West and Southwest to know and to
| appreciate 1t is as follows:
! CoSSECTIoN BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND New YORK.
1t is stated that workmen are now engaged in re-
| laying the rails along Prime street. Philadelphia,
from the Delaware to Broad street, so to connect
! the travel between Baltimore and New York At
the foot Of Prime street. on the Delaware, prepare
! tons are now in progress for the erection OF a
| railroad depot to accommodate these new arrange
ments Between this point and Camden large
/ and powerful steam terry boat VIII ply, Dy means
of which, it is expected that freight cars may be
transported from the Jersey to the Philadelphia road
without a necessity for the break Of bulk. This
will enable the whole chain OF railways from New
| York through Philadelphia and Baltimore to Wheel
ing to be worked as one through line to the West.
The Washington Star of the 9Th has the follow
ing, respecting the aqueduct from the Great Falls
to this cy-so important for the comfort Of all in
habiants and soourners in this metropolis, and the
good work for introducing which into the city was
begun by an appropriation and enactment by the
last session of Congress:
WATER FOR WAsHNGToN.-It affords US great
qualification to be able TO state that to-day ground
! was formally broken in the work of constructing
the aqueduct through which the water is to be
| brought from the Great Falls, for the supply of
! Georgetown and Washington. The President &C
compauied by the Secretary of War and his private
secretary, to-day attended and participated in the
| ceremonies.
The redemption of stocks proceeds with great
! success More than one million three hundred
| thousand was redeemed last week. In the present
state of European affairs and pressed for money
from various if Congress limit purchases to

doubt that large amount will come forward to be
redeemed. SULPICIUs.
