But its establishment, under the circumstances that then existed, was considered necessary to the success of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, mid its results have fully justified its organization. Since your Company has acquired control ol its extended western connections, east of the Mis sissippi. and removed the obstructions that in terrupted a.lrce flow ot traffic over your railway Irora the trades centres ot the West to those of the East, the mission of the Transportation Com pany has been fulfilled, and its continuance in the sphere it occupied is no longer important to your interest. It was contemplated on the organisation ol the "Feunsylvania Company" "to manage your west ern connections in the manner pointed out in pre vious reports, that it should fill the place occu pied by lito t-'nion Transportat ion Company. It has, however, required time to get these exten sive works into, harmonious and efficient action, and to fully understand their traffic. The Penn e>)lvr;nid Company is now ready to assume this duty, and ui rangemeuls have been made tor the transfer of the property and franchises of the Transportation Company to It, which will be car tied into effect jis early as the transfer can be properly made. The actual \afiuc of the property, consisting ot cars, wharves, offices, shops and sidings, tube thu.^'transferred is esti mated—without its good wiil--at over f.’5,tW0.000 and it has b . mi purchased by the “Fennsy ivunta Company" for three millions of its Common Stock at par. thus interesting individuals of cr. perience in the management of this great enter prise—a consideration of material impoitance and value. 1 The Utfion Line having fulfilled the objects Unit this Company had in view at its establishment, in a mann--i satisfactory to its employers, it i« grati fying to be able to state that it has been so effi cientlymaLaged that it has also proven a pecuniary success to its shareholders. Their proflts have, however, been mainly derived from transporta tion oyer ihe extended system of railways west ot Pittsburgh and east of Philadelphia, under con tracts of their own proenrement. with the Compa nies whose roads tneircirs traversed. The high rates of transportation thr.‘ prevailed during ihe rebellion yielded very profitable results to the line, as w-rll as t » your Company—the through rates over the Pennsylvania .Railroad in many cases having been twice those charged upon its local iroi"h!.s It will al.-o IfO remembered :a thi« connection that neither law nor p-ihiic opinion would at the lime have ;hs assumption oi powers i>y your Company ttfst would h.uc enabled it to establish a tr insnort at ion Una meet ly tli-.* object that ymr Company had .n view.

The analysis ol these ores also shows that many of*them are well adapted to the manu. fact arc of Bessemer steel. The facilities for the distribution of freights in Philadelphia were not enlarged, in 187 J, to the ex- tent desired. The City Councils promptly acted npon the suggestion contained in the last Annual Report of this Company in relation to the con struction ol a Railway along the Delaware front bet wee’ll Christian and Dock streets, but the •law’s deity’’has prevented, daring the past J’ear, the fompletion of the improvements desired. The property owners upon the Delaware front, though anxious for the construction of the work, have not given to it their active co-operation, and. in couse qaensc, the improvements so much needed by the commercial interests of the city cannot be finished before the ensuing summer or autumn. In the meanwhile the existing facilities for the accommo dation of freights on market street are being seriously encroached upon. The erection of additional elevators for grain traffic nas also become important, though it is be lieved that these may be supplied by private en- terprism^^x The connectitsn referred to in our last annual re“ port between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pittsburgh. Virginia and Charleston Railway,. cro-sing the Monongahela River above the month of Turtle Creek, has been commenced, and if practicable it will be completed this year. Its construction Inis become a necessity from the im. possibility of passing freight trains from the Pitts burgh. Cincipnatti and St. Louis Railway through Gram's iiill Tunnel without great delay. The cost of this connection is estimated at $350 00!). The Pittsburgh. Virginia and Charlestown Rail way, which Is to extend along the valley of the Monongahela to the State line of Virginia, is under contract as far ns Monongahela City, and will be opened to that- point ithirty miles) during the en suing summer. Arrangements liu't been entered into yvi'h the city of Pittsburgh by which nearly ail of Hie streets of that city will be passciTover or under the Penn sylvauia Railroad, which wiR involve an outlay by this Company very little short of one million of dollars, an expenditure which it is to be bopejl will he for by the additional safety secured tothe movement oi trains, and the avoid ance of delays that occur at the present street crossin".

Bartol, Esq. They appear to be i admirably adapted to the traffic of this Port, and possess accommodations for passengers, both first' class and emigrant, equal in comfort and to any of the steamers that ply between Europe and America. The execution of the work by Messrs. Cramp & Sons, as far as it has progressed, has been faithfully done, and appears to be fnlly equal in character and substantiality to that of any efthe European built steamers. The ships wLI have all the modern economic improvements, and wifi not cost on completion much, if any, more, than they could now be built for In Great Britain. 1 K. C. Knight, Esq., one of the most cnetsotle and enterprising merchants of this city, has been made President of the Steamship Company ,in place of the late Washington Batcher, Esq .. de ceased. Under his administration we bard no doubt but that the line will be managed with cred it to this port and profit to the stockholders. Since your last annual meeting the Board of Di rectors have lost the services of three esteemed colleagues: George Black, resident Director in Pittsburgh, whose decease occurred in Augnat last. Uis prac tical business talents and devotion to the interests of the Company were always of great service, and highly appreciated. To fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Black’s death, Mr. John Scott, of Pittsburgh, a gentleman long Identified with the manufactur ing and leading interests of that city, was duly elected by the Board. Washington Butcher, whpsc decease occurred? early in the present year. Mr Bntchc r became a member of the Board in December, 1849, and al ways served the interests of this Company with great fidelity and efficiency. As his successor, Samual M. Felton has been chosen. Hie long ex perience and sound judgment in all departments of railway management cannot but prove fienefl cial to your interests. Owing to failing health, Joseph B. Myers, a member of the Board for the past ten years, has been compelled to tender bis resignation as a Dirctor of yonr Company. This vacancy haq been filled by the election of A. J. Dcrbeshire, at a former time ah efficient member of the'Board, and who In a always evinced a desp interest in everything concerning the Company’s we Hare. ThomaaT. Firth, the Treasurer of this Cojnpany for many years past, was compelled, on account of his impaired health, to tender hia resignation to the Board, and thereby be relieved from the active duties of that position. The Board accepted the resignation, assigned Mr. Firth the duties of Secre tary and Treasurer of the Sinking Funds of the Company. The Board also adopted unanimous resolutions, setting forth their high appreciation of his services and of the fidelity and ability be has shown in the discharge oftbe ard none and reepons- I ible da ties connected with tne office which be has tilled honorably and creditably for so long a peHod. Edmund Smith, late Vice President, who has been connected with the service ,of the Company since 1847, has been elected by the Board toflflthe responsible position of Troasnret—the Board hav ing entire confidence in his integrity audibility to perform the duties of that office. The increase of the business of the Company, and the continued disability of some of its officers, has rendered a reorganization of the department for conducting the operations of your railways im. portam and desirable to increase .their efficiency. With this view, A. J. Cassatt, at' present: Manager of the lines between Pittsburgh and Jersey City, lies been made General Manager of ajQßailways of the Company east of Pittsburgh and E'ic. C. U- Gardiner, General Superintendent of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, assisted by Frank Thomson as Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery- W. A. Baldwin has been continued as General So* perintentlertf of the Philadelphia and Erie Rail" road; F. Walcott Jackson, General Superintendent of the Philadelphia and Trenton and the New Jer sey Railioads. All of these gentlemen have been connected for many years with the administration of the saverai lilies commuted to their charge, and have materi ally contributed by their zeal and attention to their duties to the success of the Company.
