We have been informed that the Canal Commie . ■ , sinners of this; State have recently adopted a res olution, directing the Collectors of tolls on onr pnblic works to charge 2 mills per mile for each ■ 1000 lbs. of anthracite iron, while they are to charge 4 mills per mile for charcoal iron The uniform rates charged heretofore for all descrip- tionsof iron were 4 mills per mile. When ive ... . . .state the fact that anthracite iron is manufactured - - : exclusively in the East and charcoal iron in the West, the unjustness of the above mentioned dis — crimination will at once be manifest. Tbe inevi table effect of the change wilt bo to bring into thjß market a large amount ot anthracite iron, - which will to a certain extent operate injuriously • to the interests of our own manufacturers All the Western manufacturers ask is to bo placed on an equality wjth the East—they desire no special favors from tbe Canal Commissioners ; We have been told that the argument used by the anthracite iron men to induce the Canal Com. missionere to make the redaction we have alluded .to, was,that it woold.bring a large sum of-money into the State treasury. Admitting this to be true, would,not a similar reduction of tolls on charcoal Iron greatly augment the receipts into the trea- sury* We think it undoubtedly would. We hope therefore, that the Canal Commissioners will take - . this matter again into consideration, and agree to . make the tolls uniform on all kinds of iron, ..whether manufactured East or West of the Alle> ghemes. .... ■ Tbe Washington Union.

In December 1814, he took charge of a ateamboat, (the third -hnilt on the western waters,) and proceeded with , her from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, performing the downward tnp.m fourteen days. He pur him- self and steamer under the direction of General Jackson, and, under cover of night, conveyed troops and supplies for the relief of Fort St Phil lips. During the battle of the Bth of January, he served one of the heavy field pieces which cut down; the advancing column ot General Kean Although, two steamers had previously made the . downward trip, Capt. Shreve was the first to make - the upward voyage. By bis own improvements of .. the steam engine, and models of steamboats, he . first demonstrated the practicability of navigating the Mississippi by steam power, and for his soc. cess was honored with a public dinner more than a quarter of a century ago.

The following letter from an intelligent gentle man in Washington, relative to the new appraise ment bill passed by Congress, known as Mr. Hun ter r bill, will be read with interest. We find it m the Philadelphia Bulletin Wasuisotos, March 11,1851 There has been much said here among interested parties as to the construction to he put by the Secretary of the Treasury upon Hunter’s bill The chief question raised is, whether duties, under this bill, are to ba charged upon freight The words so clearly, imply that the valuation includes “all costs and charges” up to the period of ap praisement, that nqne .but, interested parties and their counsel could ever have drOhmed of any other interpretation. Ido not suppose that Mr. £orwm has ,a doubt &I>out this being the true con struction; indeed, while the bill was pending, I knew this opinion.was entertained in the Depart* meat, and I cannot , believe it has undergone any change. Asdiseosston upon the point has arisen, I have no doubt the Secretary will hear what is to be said in favor of the importer’s construction of the bill, and :WiH withhold his circular until all parties can be heard. I am told that some members of the Senate have shown so much interest in this question as to mention to the officers of the government what their intentions were in passing the bill. When it was before the Senate, it was. their bill; when passed, it goes to the Executive Department to be carried into execution. If the Executive officers err, the Judiciary will set them right- It is not probable that the Senators all regarded the bill in the same.light, and it would be as improper as it would be absurd to poll the Senate to ascertain the true intent of one of the laws of the land ..After all, it is a most ungracious course of the importers .to moke such a stir about so small a favor to the industry of the country as a duty upon freights. For several years they have en* joyed a prosperity without parallel. Let them not grudge this slight act, this inch of protection to the labor of this country. Kossuth. • The following is the joint resolution (first introdu ced into tho Senate by Mr. Footer providing Tor the employment of some one of our vessels, now 1q the Mediterranean, to bring to this country Kossuth and his associates in captivity . “ Whereas the people of tho United States eioco'c fy sympathize with the Hungarian exiles, Kossuth and his associates, and fully appreciate the mngoan* imoua conduct of the Turkish Government in receive mg and treating theso noble exiles with kindness and hospitality: and whorcas, if it l9 the wish of these ex iles to emigrate to the United States, and tho will of the Boltan to permit them to leavo hiidommioos Therefore. “Rttolttd, by tire Senate and House of Repre sentatives of tho United States of America In Con gress assembled, That the President of tho United States be, and ho hereby is, requested to authorise the employ ment of somo one of the public vessols which may bo now cruising in the Mediterranean, to rcceivo and coitvoy to the United States tho said Louie Kossuth and his associates to captivity.” Andy Stewart down on Gov.
