At that late the coal tonnaee of the Company was 861,803 ton9 in excess of that to the same period vt the previous year. This result, demonstrates the capacity of the rolline stock to be equal to a business of 4,000,000 tons ot coal per annum, and 1,000,000 tons ot other freight. The three large and commodious wharves which last year were in the course of construc tion have been completed. Additions havs been made to the rolling stock, real estate, new branches- to mines, sidings, etc., the details of which are elsewhere given. In pursuance of the policy announced In pre vious reports, the railroad of the Union Canal Conpany has been purchased, extending three miles northwardly from Pino Grove to the junc tion of the Lorbetry and Good Spring Railroads, already owned by this Comnaav, toeether with the right of way over the line of the old canal and reservoir, a distance of twelve miles south wardly from Pine Grove towards Lebanon. The larce quantities of railroad iron required lor repairs and extensions, together with the great importance of having the best quality of rails, have led to the decision to ereet a rolling mill of sufficient capacity to supply our own wnnts, and arranged conveniently ior tne nianuiacture of steel rails from time to time, as required. The liability to inlerruptiou of the traffic, und to accident, arbnng from the coustant taking up of the track to replace defective rails, KDd the consequent expense, is very great, which It is believed can be materially diminibhed by tbe means now proposed. On the completion of the new engine houses at Reading, in the spring, it is intended to re move the old ones at the Lebanon Valley junc tion, and to erect a union passenger station to accommodate the numerous trains which meet there. The- usual statement ot the Treasurer, and minute details of the Transportation and Engi neering Dentrtmenls, are appended. Bonds amounting to $247,000 have been con verted into stock, which leaves but $2IH 600 now entitled to this pilvilege. The bonded debt has been further diminished by the purchabe and cancellation of $34,000. The bouds origimtlly issued by the Lebanon Valley Railroad Com pany, before, consolidation with thia Com puny, amounting to $1,500,000, have all been purchased or converted into stock, and tbe mortgage has been satisfied. This mortgage established a sinking fund of $'60 000 per annum, which sura has been regu larly deducted from Income account. The fund was not all invested, as the bonds could uotbe rurcbaoed except at a premium which was not veua-red bv the terms of the mortgage. A ,,a unce to ih credit of this account of $370,000 w ilij'u em'-tfd be available for the pur- ffiHo el the bendi an opportunities offered. They havinR now fx-cn all cancelled, the amount j restored to lneomo account.

After making the deductions from income ac count, previously stated, for rolling stock, eto., aiid tbe declaration of two semi-anuuul divi dends ot five per cent, each, thre remains a reserved fund of $l,til)3,25n 56-100. It was deemed judicious to give the option to tnke the dividend declared' in December last, in money, or Block at par. A pottion of the surplus will be required to meet the JC bonds, amounting to $41)8,1)00, winch are payable in London on the first of July nex. The remainder is available for the purchase ot the bonds maturing in 1870, and tor such other expenditures as au increase of business may re quire. A uortion ot these surplus funds has b'n invested in United Mates Seven-thirty Treasury notes, and the remainder loaned on sstislactory security, payable on demand.

THE ASPECT OF THE AMAZON. A. Lecture liy Professor Louis Aga8slztlu Brooklyn. A Urge audience assembled on Saturday even ing iu tbe Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to heur ft lecture by Professor Louis Agassi, entitled 'Tbe Aspect of the Amazon," in pursuance of an engagement with the Mercantile Library Association of that city. The research and ex perience which Professor Agassiz has brought to Dear upon his late survey of Brazil ouaht t command unusual attention, and attach more than ordinary importance to his reflections and observations on the great South Amuricau river and region over which it traverses. At einht o'clock tbe lecturer waB introduced to the audience by J. It. Kennedy, and proceeded to deliver a lengthy lecture, of whicli the following is a brief abstract: To do full justice to his subject, he remarked, he ought to use the painter's brush rather than the dry vocabulary of the naturalist: but, as he was not an artist, he must use the tools he had learned to manage as well as he could. Indeed, to describe the richness of the tropics, to give an idea of the variety of the productions of those regions, called into requisition the best trained laculties of man. Those who had not seen tropical countries were hardly prepared, even by comparison, to form an accurate ideaot the richness of nature where It was most profuse, and where it presented its grandest scenery; and there was no tropical scenery richer than that of South America at least as far as the variety of vegetation went. The valley of the Amazon especially was a wonder in itself a combinntton of rare water and vegetable growth. All other rivers were diminutive when compared with the Amazon. The whole region was a submerged plain three thousand miles long and from five hundred to seven hundred in width, entirely occupied by the immense water basin through which the river flowed from thejAndes to the Atlantic the plain slanting from west to eastwarJ, hut so slightly tbat it did not exceed two hundred and forty leet for the whole length from the borders of the Para through to the coast. Over that plain ware innumerable ramifications of these fresh wters, to an exteut that ought rather to require the name of ocean than of fiver. Its front was as broad as the whole width ot Ireland. Thirty miles away from tbe coast of Brazil, you could see already the disturbed yellow waters of the Amazon mingling with the clear blue waters of the ocean. And yet there was a purity about the waters of this river. It was one hundred and fifty miles wide at its mouth, and the en trance Into the great water system was by two rivers the Para on the south, and the main bianch of the Amazon, which was to the north. Ret ween the two was the island of Maraio, which was half the width of Ireland. He here illustrated the outlined the Island, and position of the mouths of tbe river. The eye could not fee from Cnpe North over to Kaunas, or to either snore ot this island the wiuin oeiug sixty mues. and requiring six hours of steam navigatiou to cross. Between the island and Para were innu merable small Islands, and further inland there were so many channels that it seemed as if the ocean flowed oy them, and you could sail one thou sand and twelve ml'es up the channel before it really assumed the fihape of a river. It was not till you ascended above the iuncllon of the K10 Negro and the Amazon that the 6hore were visible on either side. The tide motion was felt not only at Para, but four hundred miles above. The tributaries of the Amazon were as colossal as tbe Amazon itseif. Thev were the Tocautins, which entered above Pare, the Chineu, aud three on the southern side. Such a combination of large rivers existed nowhere else; and what was particularly remarkable was their rotations to one another. It flowed nearly along the same line of latitude under the equator, and was therefore subject to the same climatic if tluenccB. Some of the features of the Madeira aud the Rio Negro rivers were alluded to, after which the lecturer remarked that the plain was an uninterrupted forest of great density and impenetrable without the use of thehatsrhet. The mils on the left side of the banks seemed high, though none exceeded one thousand leet In altitude. They were not un equal, but were perfectly flat, aDd as level as the plain below. These owed their existence to furrows or washings by the rains of intprvenlng masses, and were at one time more extensive. They were formed of regular strata, and were a testimony to tbe prcsencei in eiirlv times of ex tensive glaciers in Bra'i. The veuetacton of the Amazonian region conited in part of tro pical lorests, which, unlise onr lorets, d d not con1 an clusters of the same, but groups of various trees. Th"re as nut au oak, maple, elm, or poplar in the whole va ley of tbe Amazon, nor a single plant a'lieu to those which form our tor -sts. lliere were remark able s ccimens of trees which belonged to the same 'arnily as the locust, one of the peculi arities of which was to have leaves that are not simple, but along whicn are la'pral leaflets. Ihe mvrtle, which was a small shrub here, per lormcd an Important tnnc'ion in this region, furnishing a variety of fruit as divee, luscious, ard pleaant and re'resblnc as tho-e of the family to which our rose belonged wlm us the p. ar, cherry, i.pr co peach, plum, and almond. The great Biazllian chesnut belonged to the ormer lamlly. Its fruit was the size of two fists, contained a number of tri angular nnfs, and the tree grew to a height of one hundred and eighty or two hun dred feet. A particularly stnking featnre in the vegetation was the immense number of cl'mbma vines or parasiti.-; plants wb cii inter lace in the forets and teni to make th-m im ptnetrable". It would be impossible to esta blish roade there. Tnemreams would have to subserve their purposes, and all that were needed to properly open ud this rich country was ves sels ol larger draught and more numerous than now steam along these waters. The valley con tained only two hundred and fifty thousand per-plc, and they were of an indolent nature, but it could support twenty or twent-dve millions. Tbe timbers . were exceedingly rich and beautiful thre, and be had Inci dentally made a collection of threo hundred s peel n ens. The climate was temnerate, the ilierwometcr averaglug eighty-four dur ing the year the lowest temperature being seventh -five, and tho highest ninety-one, ninety two, and ninety-three, while the "trade winds, which, nearly aUavs blow there, make it plea sant. It had also a very healthful climtte. the case ot sickne being generally attributable to indiscre'ion. It ihat. country could id scttlpd by an cnierprising popula 'on, he had no doubt it wo'ild raoldlv rise to wealth and prosperity, and his advice to thof e who wanted to enjoy the ftiHiieB ot nature and a grandeur 01 scenery a) varii d as it was wonderful, was to go to the Amazon, and asi endtl'at nver for a couple of thousand miles. (Applause. ) N. )T. IralL BoxlngDay. The day after Christmas is known iu London as "Boxing-Day." It is a holiday which has grown up within a few years. The London Jewa of tho 27th ult. says- "Tbe passengers in the London streets yeter d ij could not fail to be s'ruck bv the unusual aspect tliev presented. While tbe tratlic was that of an ordinary weekday uugrnenie i only by the holiday crowds ot boxing-day. a full half 01 ihe 3hops in tbe principal thorouglifures were closed. Business In many of the great ware bouse", C'juetujg-ho jses, ind cilices was also suspended. It was, iu fact, a part'ml holiday, thojgb neither a Sunday nor onu ot our reli gious festivals, and it wus not the only week day thus obfCrved, tor Monday had been also, though to a smaller extent, similarly dedicated io recreation. This addition of a day to the rcei gE'zd and semi-sacrd holiday of Cinistmas is .t very modern inuovation. It is only some dozen years hack tha on occas on of Christmas duv fulling on a Friday or a Monda?, the sug gestion wa-i made that (lie half noliuay of Satur day might be made in'oafull one to atford a laraT relaxation. The example thus set. has been improved upon, until now it is almost rccoznized thtt, on whatever dav of the week the church fesiival tails, one day ot secular recreation should be alaed to it. And, mdee l, there aie eympioms that the p.inclple may, in 10 long time, be extended, bo as to g've a com plete triduum of relief froji toil. Such is the nibtory, as wc can all at pteseut recall it, of an innova'ion which, perhaps in ate years more, will grow so established in our practice, that people will look back with something of sur. prise when the laet is suggested that, till tho middle of the nineteenth century, Englishmen obseivedbut one day's holiday at Chiutma-i-tide." Preservation of Butter ii SVv ce. On this su eject the Journal of the Society of Arts s.tys; une pan of sugar, oue pait 01 nire, and L.vo paits'of salt, reduced to a very due po viler, constitute a good mixture for the preservation 01 butier. Sixty grammes, or riithr more than two ounces of tnis mixture, is sufficient for a kilogramme, or about two pounds and a quarter of fi-ci- h butter, which, thus prepared, remains very good a fortnight after wards; lis ta?te is very soft and agreeable, and it will last for yeiijrs. There is also another mode of preserv ing, viz: the butter Is melted aud purided with honey, sixty grammes of which are used 'or each kilogramme, the two substances being mixed with care. An agreeable flavor Is ob tained, and it will remain good a long time. ' Results of TfiMtferring a Railway Pa3s A com mercial traveller, named Debout, was arrested recently while travelling from Nice to Paris by railway with a first-class free pass, not transfer able, which had been granted to a newspaper editor named Maurcl. Debout had purchased the ticket from a man named Fries, to whon Maurel bad sold it. A prosecution having been instituted by the Lyons Railroad Company, the case was brought before the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police in Paris. Maurel and Debout not appearing were tried by default, and were each condemned to thirteen mouths' imprison ment; extenuating circumstances having been admitted with respect to Fries, he was sen tenced to only two monthsof the same punish ment.
