Moor head, .Esq,, fos,adopy of the tiXwelfth Annual Report .of the Preside nt and ■ Managers of the Monongahela.Narigatiott Company for the year 1861*."' The following interesting abstract of this re port we fiud.in yesterday’s Gazette. - .. ’ Daring that year, with one slight exception, there has been no - interruption to navigation, except that arising from ice, since the winter of 1848, until the . present one, navigation has nev er been suspended threedays at onetime incon sequence of ice; end judging from past experi ence, similar interruption is not anticipated for many years to come. Tho tolls -collected during tho post year, amount to the sum of $85,974 Gl, being an in crease of $1,681 SO over the previous year. The fact of this inoreaeo in: the face of the entiro diversion of the through travel, which Is now almost engrossed by the Central Railroad, and the entire loss of two weeks’ time by the late freeze when business was very good, and the tolls would have amounted to about $l,OOO, is a new and satisfactory demonstration, tho re port remarks, as well of tho independent char acterof the resources upon which the Improve ment has to rely, os of its own powerful agency m developing, if not absolutely creating, along the valley of the Monongahela tho very wealth and business which are destined, at no very re mote day, should no casualty occur to prevent it, to bnng back to the pockets of the Stockholders tho money which they many years since adven turously cast upon the bosom of its waters. It was the expectation of the Board, os announc ed m tlicir last Report, that the diversion of through travel which was then anticipated, would be at least compensated by tho acquisition of that which was purely local; and they have cot been disappointed in the result- The returns of the year show an mcreaso in the number of way passengers greatly beyond the reduction oceaai oil ed by thecanse to which wo have referred. They are as follows, viz : 1850. 1851. Thro’ Passengers, <18,988$ 22,115 j 8,873 dec Way, “ 77,3a7 98,123 20,772 me * The.completion of the Vonghiogbeuy Slack water Improvement has brought a great increase of business upon the lower loeks, and the ne cessity of some further improvement to accom modate this increased business is suggested, but not recommended to be mado during the pres- ent year. The report goes quite at length into the sub ject of the extension of tho improvement to the Virginia State line, hut there does not seem to be much probabtli ty that this desirable cbiecl.

Many people are enquiring why vrCoart House should have been included in the net' It seems tha t when the county buildings were erected, the Commissioners, at tho instance of the officers of the U. 9. Government, appro priated; at great expense, on entire quarter of the buildings for a United States Court Room, Grand and Traverse Jury Rooms, Marshal’s and Clerk’s Offices, whioh they have ever since occu pied at a very moderate rent, and without com plaint from anybody. The change would be in convenient for tho bench, bar and people, aqd the location, in- no respeot, equal to the present Court House. There is, indeed, not. room for a. "dourf House-on the ground purchased under the act of Congress*: without placing it on a- third stoiy. It is an excellent location for a Custom Pfonse and Post Office* but n very bad one for a 'Court House. - • .".i- - .

Rexoxstuahcii Aoaisbt mi Maihc Law.— The Liquor dealers in New I ork have despatch ed a remonstranco to Albany, setting forth tbo reasons why tho Maine Liquor Law should not bo attempted to be forced npon New York. The proposed law, to that end, is donouoccd as au dacious, unscrupulous and fanatical, and calcu lated to retard, rather thaa advance, even tbo temperance principle, which it professes to en- oourafco. Most significant of all, however, tho remon strants assure tbo Legislature that they arc sol omly convinced ” that such a despotic and un reasonable law could not be enforced In the oily of New York, oxcept amid scenes of riot and bloodshed, in wbicb, though tts reckless advoaates would bo the first aud chief sufferers, vast mul titudes of tho populaoe would be involved, and which would be too fnghtful in their results for any but oallous fanatics to contemplate without horror aud dismay.” $23,101 49 00,974 01 $89,130 10 $40,000 00 8,312 47 4,090 92 7,002 60 785 71 21,738 60 $89,136 10 A Good One.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Express tells the following Btory of the Russian Minister : “ There is a protty good story going about town, whtoh is, in tbo mam, true, 1 believe.— During the recent cold weather, Mr. Bodisco, the Russian Minister, rigged out his sledge, and his driver and tiger, and furs, caps, &c., all looking like bears and wolves. So extraordina ry a spectacle attracted the attention of the boys, negroes, Ac., on Pennsylvania Avonue, and as Kossuth was known to be in town, covered all over with moustaches—with a retinue rigged out lu style extraordinary, the boye and blaoks set up over Bodisco the cry of ‘ Kossuth ! ’ ‘there’s Kossuth I ’ ‘ hurrah for Kossuth ! ’ This was more than human nature could endure, aud Mr Bodisoo fled in a rage, so it is stated, for refuge in the house of a friend near by.” Iw A Dilemma. —Wo were much amused by an inoident related the other day.

Confer** Meeting. vile Irish Blots at Steubenville. The riots amongst and “Cor konians,” on th& Railroad; ah Steubenville, still continue to wage) ~On Friday lost, - according to .the Steubenville*Herald, the Fardowns made some hostile demonstrations upon tbe farmers of {Tress Creek, —entered their houses aud demand ed provisions, threatening if they did not get them, they Would fire their mills, barns and houses. They also swore vengeance against any one who would harbor a Corkoman. To bring the offenders to justice, the Sheriff, at the bead of a posse of armed men, comprising the “ City Greyß,” left about 1 o’olook, P. M., for section 14—the field of notion. - - When only a few miles .from the city, they met the Fardowns, numbering 500 men, who had been taken “prisoners of war” by some twenty-odd formers, under-the command of Mr. Qoorgo McCullough, who, with Ilia men, have done themselves much oredit. It nppeara that the Fardowns had driven the Corkonians back upon the line to section 25 and supposing themselves “ monarchs of the soil,” entered farm houses, and demanded what they wished to satisfy hunger aud comfort—en - forcing the same by presenting pistols at the heads of men and women. One of the leaders attempted this sort of in timidation upon Mr. Adam Reed, of Cross Creek township—drew a pistol, upon him, which was no sooner done, than Mr. R. brought him to a proper sense of duty by knocking him sprawl ing upon his back with that very convenient woapon which natnre gave him—his fisi / After wbioh the aggressor was taken into custody by one of the Guards, not far distant at tho time. As this company of 600 Irishmen returned down the line from seotion2sto Reed’s Mill, the farmers had assembled with rifles, where they commanded the Irishmen to halt—laydown their arms, return to the main road—and were thus driven into town. Some 10 or 16 of the ringleaders were also arrested—aad will he dealt with severely—at least Bhould bo—for they havo been guilty of many criminal acts, which permanent citizens would not have dared to practise with impunity. Tho report te, that the chief aggressors, whe ther Corkonians or Connaught men, would be discharged from the line entirely—winch, if all reports are true, or one half of them they should be—the farmers m the vicinity of tho Railroad, determining not to be further annoyed —and in the absence and disregard of law, have resolved to protect themselves, and preserve the peace, it at tbe expense of a smalt amount of lead and gunpowder.

Mr. Riddle and fits asso ciates havo secured the prize articles of tho Great Exhibition, and have such assurances of the success of their movement, as warrant them In the undertaking, which cannot cost less than half a million of dollars. Tho editor of the Mirror, Col. Fuller, has oxamiood tho drawing of the building, designed by Sir Joseph Paxtou for tho American Exhibition, as also tbe memo randa accompanying them, coutalulug the di mensions and other particulars, m which our readers may feel an Interest Ho says: According to Mr. Paxton's plan, tho exterior length of tho Palaoo will ho 653 feet embracing porcbcd entrances; extreme width, including terraces, 199 feet—tho wholo building and ter races covering throo acres, or about ono-oevonth tbe spaoo occupied by the London Crystal Pat aco- Each end will have a porcbcd entrance, for the purposo of setting down aud taking up visitors. Tho building will be intersected, lengthwise, by three avenues, the central called tho navo—6oo foot long by 79 foot broad—and tbe two sides called aisles—sB4 feet long by 36 foot brood. Tbo building will bnvo Interior and exterior galleries, lcDglhwisc, with trnnsvarso galleries at each cud. At each anglo of tho nave, (four in all, or two at cither end.) stone turrets will bo erected, pierced by stair ways leading to tho Interior and exterior gal leries. Tho ontiro building will rest on a bnok -base, Btono-faood ontaido, and pierced with numerous holes for tho purpose of ventilation. Ou this baso will rest a scries of cast-iron columns, conueotod by iron arches, having tho nlslo and nave ribs seourely bolted between oaob—the same construction adopted for the clear story of tho nave; from tho outside gallery. Thus tho nave and aisles will rest separately (though united) on their pillars, eaoh sustaining its own roof Between the uprights of the raised -part of the nave roof, frame-works of wood will bo suspended, in which will swing moveable sashes, for the purpose of ventilation. Tho Interior galleries will rest oa timbers bolted to, and rest ing on iron brackets, slotted into capitals of col umns, and hrmly-bolted uprights, resting on cap itals The exterior galleries will rest on iron uprights screwed and bolted into plates, resting on purlins of the aislo roof. Between the up rights (as in the nave roof) will bo wood frame works, containing moveable sashes, for tho pur pose of ventilation. The pathways (nave and aisles,) will bo floor ed with trelliß boards, 9 inches broad by 1} in ches thiok, laid i of an Inch apart, on sleeper joists, 9 inches deep, by S inches broad, placed 3 reel apart. The gaUery floors will be close boarded, and a light trod railing will enclose the outside of the galleries. Tho roof is to be covered with blue slate. The terrace, sur ronnding, will be 24 feet wide, with stone front. On the oat-edge, stone pedestals will be placed, 26 feet apart, supporting lamps. The terrace to bo floored with asphalt, allowing a gradual desoent from the building from the outside of the wall, where a gutter is provided to carry off water. Water collected upon the roof of the building to be oonveyed by gutters to hollow columns, thence to main drains beneath the floor ing. Internal vapors, disposed of in the some manner. Wood, glass; and iron, will bo the principal material used for the whole structure.
