There is no belter evidence of a dis comfiaire, than a mean, pitiful resort to ersonal abuse. The above language must Mainly boa Yankee way of proving lhat he Canal is preferable lo the improvement tha Wabash river. What gave rise to very sanguinary expressions of ihis ! eacre Trowbridge, was because we aid his article in relation to the Canal. which we published with friend Stout's annihihtor, was ridiculous. We thought eo then, we think so now, and shall continue to think so, until Mr. Trowbridge or some onr for him. exhibits better proof than any we have yet seen. We now say further, that his statements were fals" whether made through ignorance ot othrrwite w don't pretead tc ssy. W? ad-

A letter from her was found in hi possess ion. and in the course of Saturday, it was discovered that the valuable, gold lever watch that had been stolen fmrn the premises of Cant. Houseman after lb1 murders were committed, had hcn sold at a pawnbroker's shop in Nnw York on Monday last by a woman resembling Polly Rr dine in every particular. This watch was taken to the police;, .and placed in possession of Justice Matsell. A slid later account in the Iler.ild. avs that the Police visited the lmnap of Wa;te. where they found the basket hrought to the cily on Wednesday, when Polly pawned the watch. One or two other artie'es opposed to belong to Polly, were a'o found on tlie premises. The account closes thu: Waite 'a store was closed yesterday ov. ing to his nVepra to S;? ten Ulind, and

In a short time afterwards sonm persons came into thy shop and siateJ thai officers were searching the apothecary storeof Waite, and that he had been arrested at Staten Inland. This w as communicated to hur by the o!J lady as a matter of news, when hy immediately made an eeuse to leave the premises and departed in ereat haste. The- lyiter found in the pocket of Waite. fiom this woman, contained a request for some additional drug, that it is supposed shy had given Airs. Houseman before she was murdered. It was taken from him !y Justice Matell, who searched him as soon as he arrived at Port Richmond. Tnere is no doubt that the murder was committed for the purpose of obtaining ihe $10 0 in money, that Houseman h d received, which il is presumed limt the murderess intended to have given to ber paramour, who has recently been very mneii iuolved iu his pecuni iry afTors. Til" mil 'rtuuate woman had no doubt bcenstupitied wuli ilrus. then tortured to confess here the money had been place t, i f wiiieli.it appears, tdiw had no knowledge, nnd lulling io satisfy thi-s demand, she bas been afterwards murdered and burne 1 with her innocent child.

A beef, porli and larj, now form a laro putt of the csports from .Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa, and as inach of it comes here badly cured and badly cut, and, as a corir-eijuence, sells for a much less price than when in good condition and good packages, (-in shipping order.')

Beef houlJ he first rubbed with fine salt, and stacked for 2 1 hours, in cool weather, arid then salted with coarse Turks' Island sa't. The quantity of coarse salt should not he less than GO lhs., weight to each -00 lb-, (full weight) of beef, and the barrels should be nlhl with pickle as strong as can he mule, and a small portion of salt petre, to give it color 5 ounces t ever 200 lbs. ef meat.
