THE 'EeI,LT :QUESTIOW.—A final meeting of
he committee to take into consideration the pro
.riety of prohibiting the salting of the railway
tracks, was held.yesterday afternoon.
Mr. 'Nathan Taylor was first examined. He was
.opposed to the salting 414 streets; he was a menu
lecturer of leather, mad contended that salt water
would. rot it - very quickly; he had seen new ear
-1 riages also injured by the salt slush ; he thought the
i system was a grand nuisance, and should be &be
' ted; intßeston the salting of streets is prohibited
by the authorities; at one time salting was allowed
an NetrYork, but was abolished as a nuisance ; the
railway companies in Boston are compelled to cart
all their snow away; he had seen thousands of loads
deposited on Boston Common.
.11r.'"Weiherill, one of the committee, here in
tim:lmq, and wished to know why all these ques.
lions were asked Mr. Taylor about Boston, when
Vr A y heel refused to consult the mayor of that city ?
/Mr. Inylor continued, and said he bad aeon the
snow removed from the tracks in Boston by moans
-of sleds. Ile had made numerous experiments
with salt on leather ; and found that whenever the
atmosphere became damp the leather rotted.
A long discussion relative to the effects of salt
-or leather now took place between Mr. Davis, one
-Of the committee, and Mr. Taylor, both gentlemen
repreitenting the leather trade
/fir Taylor thought that salt injures leather, from
tits tendency to absorb moisture By greasing the
leather it .can be .;eserved, because the grease
counteracts the effect of moisture.
i t
. Mr. • CtIFFiD. soothe of• the committee, took a
Somewhat 'different view from Mr. Taylor relative
; itc the ei; , y-of Boston.
, Mr. 'llretiterill laid this diversity of opinion
Showed the folly of the committee, who had re
fused, at the last meeting, to adopt a resolution
calling on the mayor of Boston for information
which is now being doubted.
Dr. J. S. LeConte, of the U. S. Sanitary Commis
sion, appeared. He said by using salt the atmos
phere Li made wetter and col•ler ; he thought that
•sisit anti snow water did not fitter through leather
as freely as pure water ; salt water would make
'either more porous, as it tended to tear apart the
Ilbres ; salt water is often used in treating patients
to open the pores of the skin ; he contended that
horses travelling through this salt slush were in-
Jured, as their feet came into contact with a colder
°4 than the snow itself and which they are not
used to,
~ Simon Gartland was called. He exhibited some
feather which be bad experimented upon, and
_found that that soaked in salt and water was more
'Tomes than that placed in the pure water; he
Sound a difference of two degrees in ice water and
'stilt water, the latter being the coldest. Tho public
Jleraminntion here closed.
CORN EXCHANGE ASSOCIATION.—The annual
'reefing of this spirited organization was held last

The reports after referring to the rebellion in the
`,Vouch, .eye: "By this deplorable state of the.
-country is cannot be said the business in breadstuffs
has been positively injured," is somewhat proble
timatical.
The extraordinary demands upon the railroads,
or.the transportation of troops , and munitions of
liwar, caused so great an advance in all carrying
Ides that, for some time, the shipment of produce,
certain localities in the Wen to the FAA, was
most prohibited. OA the article of corn, for in
- acme, after the payment of freights and other
''.arges, not over seven cents per bushel re
, mined as a compensation. Flour, and other kinds
produce, it may be presumed. was in a degree
ilarly affected, and, in this instance, the flour
,d grain trade, represented by the Corn Exchange
ssociation, has doubtlessly suffered an important
•gativt lose. But as this difficulty appeared to be
avoidable, under all the circumstances, an Min
a' to it ought not to be reg rded as an utterance
complaint.
An agreeable, and at the same time conservative
atureof this organization, us evinced in the habits
of the members on'" chan g e ," is the absence of all
ihitemperate discussions oia political character.
This should be observed at all times, but rah
liowly so at the present Moment, (Jur country
must now realize the power of that grand truism—
in "Union is strength," or sutf , r the fatal come
'
uences of a people ec , divided against themselves."

The demand for specie or small bills in Washington is

issuing ally notes smaller than fives, and there is also a
stringent law against the circulation of small bills from
other 'cities within the District. Specie commands a
premium of four per cent. The town is full of Govern
ment "green backs," as they are called, and since the
suspension of specie payments by the Government, no
shopkeeper will give change fur them except the trade be
of considerable amount. Everybody seems desirous of

The national finances of Great Britain for the year
1861 showed a falling oft' in the receipts, as compared
with 1860. of no less than 516,818,220. The heaviest
falling off was in the property tax, on which the present
Chancellor of the Exchequer had, as an experiment,
enected a redueion. It is thought that when the extra
expenses of arming Canada are added to the accoutts of
1861, there will be a deficiency in the budget of about
$28,600,E00. It will require all of Mr. Gladstone's dex
terity, on the opening of Parliament, to face the difficul
ties in his department, and to keep himself and his col
leagues in power
The annual return of the railways of Great Britain and
Ireland, made to the Government Board of Trade, for the
year chilling Dec. 31, 1860, has just been published in
BradEhaw's Manual for 1862. Prom it we find that in
that year the miles of railway in the United Kingdom

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28..1602
At the first hoard to-day Pennsylvanialtailroad shares
advanced to 40%, recovering the decline noted yester
day ; the first mortgage bonds rose to 100 k, and the
second mortgage bonds to 92. Reading Railroad shares
rose to 20 . ,!,f ; North Pennsylvanialtailroad 6 per cent. scrip
sold st62M, and City sixes sold at 97 for the now issue and
in for filo old issue Dawson boards, Reading Railroad
shares fell to 20, and at the second board to Briji. Penn
sylvania Railroad shares advanced at the second board
. to 40,4 for two shares, but sold after boards at 407.
Schuylkill Navigation preferred sold at the first board at
123. and after the second board at 12N.
The news from the Burnside Expedition, though cried
upon the streets as the „ wreck" of the Burnsida Ex
pedition, had no effect upon the stock or money market.
The brokers are full of orders to purchase good paying
securities, and all first mortgage bonds are appreciating
in consequence. Even Reading bonds of 1849, by no
means a favorite security, bare gone to 95, Sunbury and
Erie Railroad sevens sold at 93, Morris Canal bonds at
95, and Lehigh Navigation sixes at 10234 .
Yesterday.we noticed the sale of West Branch Canal
bonds, which to-day advanced to 30M for ten thousand
dollars of bonds.
With a million of dollars of stock and a half million of
mortgage bonds, of ehich $92,000 have been cancelled
by the sinking fund, which appropriates $7,500 yearly,
and the coupons of the cancelled bonds to the purchase
of new bor ds, these bon are considered an entirely re.

Coo:yrs. ie busily considering the financial measures
necessary for the support of the Government, and tno
chairman of the Committee of Wads and Means an
nounces his intention to offer au amendment making the
semi. annual interest payable in coin,
This latter arrangement, if adopted, will do more to keep
the value of the Government issues at par than any
enactment making them a legal tender in payment of
debts. It is very justly urged against the plan making
these notes a legal tender, that the very effort to compel
their acceptance for debts implies that they are not vo
luntarily so taken, and puts the stamp of depreciation
upon them in the beginning. They will not pass current
of themialres, and therefOre the stamp of tlie groyiert .
talent, fixing an arbitrary value, is put upon them. It is
certain that people of fixed incomes, men of small means,
and depositors in savings banks will all be losers; in fact,
all the past accumulations of labor will suffer depreciation
if a depreciating paper currency is made a legal tender.
Bence, it is argued 14 experienced financiers that the
demand notes issued by the Government should be
strictly redeemable in coin, and that the issue of such
notes should be quite limited in amount. Other notes
should be made payable at some future day, and should
have a fixed rate of interest, which would bring them
upon the same plane with the great mass of promissory
paper alms) s afloat in the country, and prevent them
from affecting, in any way, the currency of the country,
which regulates the exchangeable value of all commo
dities. It is further urged that the issue of such in
terest-bearing noses will avoid any Inflation of the Cur
rency, and will furnish paper that may he issued in set
tlement of business transactions; that may bo pledged as
collateral for loans, and that will, in the course of a short
time, be absorbed as investments.
The New York Evening Post of to-day says :
The stock market opened very inactive and prices fell
tff a trifle, though the general tone was steady, but to
wards the close the exaggerated account of the disaster to
the Burnside Expedition produced a pressure to sell, and
quotations after the Board were 0)3 per cent. lower
than on the . 4 first call."
After the Board, New York Central sold at 833 f ; Erie
34; Erie Preferred 31%; Bock Island 55; Pacific Mail
98%; Michigan Central 5454.
The Governmert list is without special change. The
sixes of 1881 are steady at 89 for refdetered, and 90 for
coupons. The fires are sparingly offered at our quota
tions.
There Is more inquiry to-day for 7-30 treasury notes.
The money brokers make a difference of Xel per cent.
against endorsed notes; but at the Stock Board no dis
tinction is made. -We hear of sales of clean notes at 9S,
at which there is an investment demand.
The speculative movement in gold has taken the up
ward turn again, and the news from Burnsides Expedi
tion tends to strengthen it. The price is very sensitive

CITY ITEMS.
Recruiting in Philadelphia
We yesterday paid a visit to the barracks of the One
Hundred and Ninth Regiment, P. V-, in the large Mind
ing, No. 533 Chestnut street, and were gratified ' not only
with the exceedingly comfortable quarters of the men,
and the excellent discipline enforced by the officers, but
also with the material of which this growing young re
giment is composed, and of which it is officered. The
entire building, above the first story, is occupied by them,
and fitted up with every convenience that could conduce
to health and comfort. The major part of the second
and third stories are used for lodging purposes, being
amply provided with bunks, benches, and conveniences
for washing and cooking.
From the savory meal in course of preparation whilst
we were !hare Whiell we alltanitiea tasted with A geed
relish,) we have reason to know that their fare is ex
cellent. A quantity of beef, bought, as we were informed
by an officer, at 14% cents per pound, was at hand,
reedy for use, and all the necessary utensils for
making it available for provender. Cleanliness and
Broom are apparent throughout, reflecting much credit
upon the energy and administrative capacity of guar- -
termasterßodgers. Upon the whole, we may safely Ban
that of all the recruiting stations in this city that we
have yet visited few aro as Inviting as the barracks of
the One hunched and ninth The regiment, which is
still incomplete, lint filling up rapid/y, is officered as
follows : Colonel, H. J. Stairirook ; lieutenant colonel,
C. 141. Barris; major, W. A. Gray. Staff Officers—Ad
jutant, W. It MeAditin quartermaster, James B.
Rodger.. We were alto informed that a weekly prayer
meeting, at which moat of the men attend, is raga
larly held in the second story of the bdilditt,s, every
Tburgilay evening.
LECTURE IN AID OF THE ICINGS - Mika IiOSPI
TAL AID SOCIETY.—To-morrow evening' a lecture
will be delivered at Concert Hall, by James M. Sommer.
vole, Ef, P,, 98 " Pictures—Their Origin and Influeroo."
This IS n capital subject fora popular lecture, and the
Cause in whose behalf it will be given is worthy of liberal
support. The proceeds are to be devoted for the benefit
of the Kingeeseing Hospital Aid Society.
CANNED SUMMER FRIIITS.—Mr. C. H. Matt
son, dealer in fine groceries, Arch and Tenth streete,has
a Ono assortment of preserved summer fruits—peaches,
tomatoes, peas, green corn, et cetera The natural flavor
of these fruits, we can say from experience, is preserved
in great perfection.
MR. A. L. VANSANT, manufacturer of the
finest fancy and plain Confectionery made in this
smithy, has taken, and will soon occupy, the eiegadt
new store on the corner of Chestnut and Ninth streets,
under the Continental Hotel. His success, as the most
artistic manufacturer of tine Confections in America, is
without a parallel. His enterprise is a credit to our
city.
CONSUMPTIVES, ,NOTIVE.-Dr. J. H.
SCHENCK would say to his ',atlantic an; all those that
called on him last Saturday, and were disappointed ill net
seeing him, that he has get next daturday, February
Ist, to be at his office, from 9 A. M. until 4 P. H., and
will give advice, mid examine lungs with his Respirome
ter, free of charge, for that day only. His fee for an
exam4etion with the Reepirometer is three dollars, but
as so many were disappointed from a distance, he has
concluded to We and examine all that Gee fit to cation
him that day. Ja29-3t*
TILE TUSCARORA AND TIM NASHVILLE•—At
the latest a:counts the pirate Nashville was at anchor in
the harbor of Southampton, and the Unitsl.l States gun
boat Tuscarora was watching her sharply. John Bull
was beginning to growl, and some correspondence had
taken place between the commander of the Tasearer6
and the British naval auttenities upon the subject. It is
said that the correspondence was sharp and racy; but all
that is positively known concerning it is, that the Yankee
skipper assured the Enghshers that, in his opinion, the
best and most elegant garments to be found in the world
were those made at the Brown Stone Clothing Han of
Bockbill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
.I.ove Sixth.
To .IfonN.
Weep on, Jobn Bull, but not for us—
Oh ! turn thy gaze awhile
Where ramine'a goblin incubus
Broods o'er the pale Green Isle.
Thy deadly blight her fields lay bare,
The tears are in her eyes;
Thy sighs for us we well tam spare—
With hers we sympathize.
Our loyal Stalls they know ne want,
They've wealth unknown before,
The '• OontiLent4l" has increased trade,
And Etokes's 66 `one,price" store.
TILE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION.—We learn by
our telegraphic deapatchea that the Burnside Expedition
encountered a severe gale, which for a time threatened
destruction to the greater part of the fleet. Through
gcod management, however, all the vetsele, with the ex
ception of three or four, matte their oar gest r into Pam-
Eonrid, and have no doubt before this tim3 taught
the rebels ilia; decidedly the beet and cheapest winter
garments are nianatlCitilTd M the palatial clothing esta
MBfluent of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street,
(one dour above Harnden's Express Ottice)—a very useful
leeron for f ll In learn.

ANOTHER RECENT CURE OF
CONSUMPTION AND BLEEDING OF THE
LUNGS Is Y ENCK'S PULMONIG SYRUP.
PitiLlbsLi93li, Pa., January 2, 1861
DR. J. H. SCIIINCK—Dear : As) ou have cured my
wife of a well marked consumption, when she was, as It
were, in the very jaws of death, justice to yourself. as
well as duty to my fellow man, impels me to address you
this letter, and detail the condition of my wife and the
very remarkable effects of your medicines in her case.
More than three years ago, ells was taken with a copious
bleeding from the lungs, attended with a very bad
cough, loss of appetite, pain between her shoulders,
headache, cold feet and a gradual decline of her physical
powers.
1 culled in our family physician, who is regarded as ono
of the ablest practitioners in this city. He continued to
attend it, r for a long time, and during that time she had
several attacks of hemorrhage from the lungs, which
male her very weak and brought her Met the grave. 4
Wag witch !ER 'lite hat &Wee for life Were Very bail,
that lire. Edward French, of Moorestown, New Jersey,
who Lad been cilred et consumption and Bleeding from
the Lange, and who knew Dr. Schenek when he htd
Consumption and came near dying, and knew he was
cured with his celebrated medicines, set t word to her by
all means to apply to Dr. Schenck, as he would he sure
to cure her. At this time my wife was very Wei. She
was much reduced in flesh and strength, had no appetite,
a very bad cough, which was so distressing as nearly to
! deprive her of bleep. She bad a pain and distress in her
Lunge, and it was evident to us all that she was far gone
with consumption: in the afternoons she would keys
fever and creeping chills, and at night free-sweats.
After Dr. Schenck had given her an examination with
his Respirotueter, he pointed out to my wife the part of
her lunge that was badly diseased. She lied little con
fidence At this time in any remedies, as she had used
nearly everything in medicine without the least benefit,
while her disease was progressing to the destruction of
tile vitals, and would doubtless soon terminate in death.
She commenced using the Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills and Sea Weed Tonic, and continued to use them
about a month, seeing Dr Schenck once a week, when
she experienced a marked improvement. There was this
difference in the effects of these medicineefr an all others.
Instead i it drying up the secretions and matter, as the
other medicines had done, they seemed to ripen the mat
ter and expel it in tile form of expectoratimr, which was
very copious, at the same time the secretions were re
stored to their natural and healthy condition, and the
bkod began again to circulate naturally.
The medicines were continued a long tints, as the die
ease was well seated, and obstinately resisted the action
of the medicines. At length the matter began to ripen,
and the cough became louse, and a free discharge:of mat
ter occurred right !loin the snot where my wife felt that
Let lungs were diseased. Her appetite and digoot-kn..
proved, and she eujoyed what silo had tong peen a slimm
er to, sweet and refreshing 'deep. The medicines von
tinned to act upon her blood and purified it. and alter
four or five months she bad regained her strength, sad:
felt that her system was purified from all disease. Sire
is now well and hearty and sole to attend to the duties
of her family, and cannot speak in terms of too great
Every boity strati ltilum . . - •zure...,,aoreinaa She is desirous

will be very happy to have Soy 'one call on us, at our re
indence, and hear for themselves of the great virtues of
our very valuable medicines.

dry, backing cough, attended! with • headache, hose of ap

myself under the care of an eminent physician of this
city, and remained under his care several months, and
followed the directions strictly, but kept getting As-esker
and worse MI the time. I lest in three or four months
twenty-eight pounds of flesh. I was exceedingly sable,
bad a very ban cough and pain in my chest, hectic fever,
and copious night-sweats. About this time 1 was taken
with an exceesive bleeding front the lungs, and raised
nearly a quart of blood. In this alarming condition I
felt I must die soon if I was not speedily helped, and
many of my friends thought there was not much hope for
me.' I procured' some of Dr. SoHENCE.'S PUL &lONIC
SY Rill., which seemed to agree with me. I then sent
for Dr. Schenck, who came over to my residence, in
Mantua, and examined my lungs carefully with his Re
epirometer, andfound my right lung very touch dileased,
and my other lung in an ulcerated condition. He pre
scribed, in addition to his Syrup, the free use of his
MANDRAKE PILLS AND SEAWEED TONIC. I de
termined to give hie medicines a fair trial, as I felt that if
be could not cure me, no one else could. It was not long
before I felt his medicines were doing me good. I found my
appetite and strength improving, and,. beet of all, the
Pulmonic Syrup seemed to ilpen the matter in my lungs,
and, for days, I would sometimes bring up a quart of
matter and corruption. I continued using the medicines
fOr it ree or four monitr, until col the matter was ex
pelled from my lunge, and they were entirety healed and
sound. I regained my flesh and strength, and am well
and hearty to.day, and able to attend to my businest as
usual. I have recommended Dr. Schenck's medicines to
many of my friends who were complaining, always with
benefit. I am satisfied I had the Consumption, and was
entirely cured by Dr. Schenck; and. I alit fully p.m-
Emceed that, if the consumptive would persevere in the
use of his medicines, and follow strictly the directions,
the majority of them would be cured.
I am doing business at the N. W. corner of Seventh
and Cherry streets, and will be very happy to give any
information I can to all who will call oreme.
