This long Interruption in the season of business, generally very active, caused a heavy 1088 of profits, as the usual stuff of employes were kept in readi for the resumption of mining operations on any day. There was partial compensation by an unusually large traffic, at increased charges, for the remaining three months, in which the coal tonnage amounted to 1,394,066 tons, show ing a capacity for transportation largely in ca stes of any former period. Notwithstanding this interruption, the aggregate production from the three great mining districts of anthracite coal Was 1,161,864 tons in excess of the previous year, thus proving that the consumption is steadily - progreseing. The proprietors of lands and others interested ilat More fully developing the northwestern por tion of the second coal field obtained a charter to build a railroad, under the title of the Enterprise Railroad Company, which was offered to this company on the condition that the work should be vigorously prosecuted. The offer was ae cepted, and a road six miles in length has been constructed, which connects the himehill and Schuylkill Raven Railroad with the town of Shamokin. A large coal tonnage will be ob tained from this district. A change of ownership of the large tracts of coal lands in the immediate vicinity of Treverton and of the railroad from that place to the Basque bans river, formerly known as.the Treverton Coal and Railroad Company,now called the Zerbe Valley Railroad, having occurred, the now pro prietors tender d a large portion of their produc tion of coal to es for transportation, provided a connection with the works of the company could be made. Negotiations for three objects were opened, Which resulted in the I , arelase of their railroad, Aileen miles in length, including a bridge across the Susquehanna river for $400,000, payable in the bonds of this company due iu 1893, with semi-annual interest of bIX per cent., free from taxes, This road hue been put in good order to the point of connection with the Northern Cen tral Railroad on the east side of thu Susquehanna riser, at a cost of $27,512 04, As a part of this negotiation, a railroad eight miles in length is now bring built to 'ono a con nection betwren the Zerbe Valley Railroad at Troverton and the Enterprise Itailro.id at rinamo kin. When this link is completed, this company will operate continuous lines of railway from .$6,266, 496 434 $2.840,062 110,948 19 62,740,374 83 37.850 51 68,600 00 $481,607 01 $2,258,767 32 178,950 43 71,164 03 28,485 49 15,814 38 24,570 66 10,344 00 7,766 00 4,440 81 6,320 00 6,151 33 5,985 92 $409,837 20 $1,848,930 12 $2,769,255 96 $1,31b,224 b 4 1,454,031 42 128,540 44 $1,380,085 76 $1,921,97b 78 101,516 99 Philadelphia to the Susquehanna river at Herm- - don.. An extension of eight 'miles of. the Good Spring Railroad is, also being built to form a connection with the summit Branch Railroad at Williams town. A railroad extends from the last named place to Millersburg, on the Susquehanna river, twenty-one, This -connection.-will-give-- this company direct Recess to the large body of coal lands in Lyken's Valley, which yield a free burning coal, lintel desired by some for domestic purposes. Another railroad, called the Lebanon and Pine Grove Railroad, is also being built by this com pany. It extends from Pine Grove,near the west ern end' of the first anthracite coal field,forty.two miles, to Manheim,on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, fourteen miles from Columbia,' on the Susquehanna river, and passes through the flour ishing town of Lebanon. The enterprising dil igent+ of these localities, which are rapidly increas ing in manufactures and population,nave been de. pendent for their supplies of coal by a very cir cuitous route. The construction of this road, either under the auspices of this company or other parties, the managers have for many years past regarded as inevitable. They have there fore put the grading under contract, payable one-third in rash and two-thirds hl the plain bonds of the company, bearing six per cent. in terest, not secured by mortgage. Aid has also been given to the Colebrooledale Railroad on the terms described in the last an nual report as given to the Perkiomen Railroad. The road leaves the main line at Pottstown and passes northeastwardly fourteen miles along the ore deposits at, the foot of the South mountain. It was stated in the last report that work had been resumed on the portion of the Allentown Railroad between Port Clinton and Topton. In 1860 this company acquired 7,500 shares of the stock of the Allentown Railroad Company, on which $2O per share were unpaid amounting to $150,000, which has since been paid; with this and similar payments from other stockholders the prosecution of the work has been continued. The Perkiomen Railroad, to which reference was made in the last report, was opened for traffic in August laet, from the junction with the road of this company, twenty-five miles from Philadelphia, to Skippack, tea miles. The re sults demonstrate the wisdom of extending aid to develop the rich mineral and agricultural re sources of the Schuylkill Valley. The new rolling mill went into operation in April last, since which 8,971 tons of rails have been manufactured, with results, so far as they can be tested front present experience, which warrant the confident belief that ail the important advantages anticipated from this investment of capital will be tally realized. To provide tor,the payment of the bonds due in 1870, amounting by the last report to $2,656,- 000, a mortgage dated Ist April, 186 X, payable in twenty-five years, with interest at seven per cent. semi-annually, free from taxation, was created, secured by the entire property of the company, subject to other prior mortgage liens. An oppor tunity was given to Oct. Ist last to the holders of the bonds due in 1870 to exchange them for the new bonds, after the payment of the coupon due let of October last, and $2,255,000 were so ex changed, leaving but $401,600 of the bonds duo in 1870 to be provided for. For this purpose the balance of the new bonds will be held. The foregoing explanations of the changes which appear in the general account of the Treasurer, together with the statements in detail of the opera:lons of the transportation and engi neer's departments, hereto appended, are it is be lieved, all that are required. For the purposes and objects to which refer ence has been made, and which by the managers are regarded as of the utmost importance to the future and permanent prosperity of the company, a large portion of the profits have been required. Hence, the July and December dividends wore made payable in stock. To some of the stockholders it may be gratify ing to be informed that on the completion, during the coming ytrar, of the lateral roads now being built, the coal fields naturally tributary to the works of this company will require no more expensive roads. Many more collieries will be erected, requiring only short and inexpensive branches. It may be supposed by some that a portion of these works have been constructed somewhat in advance of the necessities of the public. But it should be remembered that the land owners were impatient for revenue, enterprising miners were ready to make lenses, and if your Board of Managers had declined to furnish the necessary facilities for transporting the coal to market, other avenues would have been sought, and thus the future prosperity of the cotbpany would have been greatly and permanently impaired, By order of the Board of Managers.

' 1869 On motion, the nominations were closed. The chair announced that Wm. S. Stokley received 13 votes and Hon. Daniel M. Fox 7 votes. Mr. Stokley said he felt a-delieacy in assuming the chair, as he believed that the Mayor, who is the chief executive officer of the city, should have been called upon to preside. Colonel Page Said that when he nominated Hon. Daniel M. Fox he did it not out of any dis respect to Mr. Stokley, for he entertained the highest regard for that gentleman. He had no minated Mr. Fox because he felt that the Mayor should be called upon to preside. However, he had understood that that gentleman did not de sire the honor, for want of time, and would there fore move that Mr. Staley be elected president by acclamation. Mr. Stokley was conducted to the chair by his Honor the Mayor, after which the President re turned his thanks for .the honor conferred.. - Mr, Harper moved that the Chair appoint an executive committee, consisting of five members, for the purpose of reporting a plan of organiza tion,and that when the commission adjourn it be to meet on Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock.

Colonel Page said that there were but two points in the ordinance requiring correction, the first as to the appropriation of $lO,OOO, which is to be paid out of the tax to be levied for the year 1869, and as the bill was drawn in a hurry, that matter would have to be settled by making it 1870. The other point is that three months tenet sufficient time to determine upon plans. Mr. Walter presented a resolution die ling the Chief Engineer and Surveyor to prep a plan of Independence Square, with theextent of ground occupied by the present dings. Agreed to.

A Dried llp Old City—A Rickety Hotel sand Muddy Coffee. A correspondent - of the Scientific, Ame rican says at one time Toledo was the court city, and some idea may be formed of this transformation which it has undergone when it is'known that in those days its population numbered upward of 200,000, now reduced to about 7,000. Toledo is the Pompeii of Spain, and abounds in " proutbita" which deeply interest the seeker after antiquities. The situation of the old city is remarkably picturesque, being perched upon a narrow, rocky,bluff, overhanging a sharp bend in the river Tagus, with beautiful surrounding land scapes. The cathedral is a marvelous pile—one of the noblest in Spain, which means a good deal—and possesses treasures valued at seve ral millions, which are hurriedly shown at certain times for a reasonable fee. There is 'a curious tradition in regard to this cathedral which is worth a brief notice. Ono of the richest chapels is dedicated to St. Ilofonso,an eloquent conversallst, who flourished 1,200 years ago. This saint was the first advocate of the dogma of the immaculate conception of the Virgin; and the Toledana appear to believe that, in gratitude for this service, the Virgin mother twice came down from Heav en and visited the cathedral, on one occasion bringing with her a finely wrought cassock, placing it upon the shoulders of the saint. This event is signalized in a large picture sus pended in the church, and the very stone upon which she alighted is mortised into one of the pillars, and has been kissed for so many generations that it is now as smooth and hollow as a porcelain saucer. The gar ment so miraculously bestowed is preserved among the treasures of the cathedral at Ovei do. Toledo is the most singular, dried ap speci men of an old city that we have ever seen. It is almost dead,but it abounds in fine Moorish buildings, interesting churches and elegant Jewish synagogues, and it was curious to no tice that some of the churches were die - mantled, deserted and given over to ruin, be ing wholly ngeless for the want of worship pers to attend them. The streets are too narrow and crooked to permit carriages to pass througk them, therefore donkeys are chiefly employed to carry burdens. We do not know who had the best of the ' visit, ourselves or the natives. We were fol ' -lowed through the streets by a crowd of peo ple, chiefly ragged women and children, with ' a liberal admixture of men beggars politely showing us the way. We wanted a pocket photograph apparatus, to catch the curious scene; but alas! the skill of the inventor had not quite met the want. We spent a part of one night at Toledo, simply because we could not conveniently get away. The hotel was altogether the most rickety, cheerless, and comfortless that we found in Europe. We were summoned to be up at four in the morning to partake of a breakfast consisting of a cold muddy mix ture which they called coffee, and a little hard bread; the butter we could not eat, and we have not, to this day, the slightest notion of what material it was composed, but con cluded from the smell that foreigners must reside for some years in Spain, and take out naturalization papers before they would be able to eat of it. Breakfast done,we emerged from our chilly prison house, passing through a pompous gateway into the streets, to follow the porters who had our trunks upon their shoulders. The air cut like a razor; it was pitch dark,and not a light in the street to cheer our exit, but we followed on as best we could behind the iporters, twisting and turning through the dark, narrow alleys, for nearly half a mile, until we reached the Tocodover plaza, where , we found a rickety old omnibus in waiting to tote us down to the stadia, a distance of nearly two miles. We were glad to get out of that dismal spot,which seemed to forebode evil, and to get a view of a locomotive, the only civilizing progressive feature we were able to discover. 8.10,03.

Lives in Parisi (Translated for tio Canclpenatt Commorctal from La , retiterrassea,_ The Queen occupies the first floor of her new mansion—that which opens upon the Rue de Rivoli, while the King consort and Prince of Asturias live in the rooms looking down,upon Sat Rue Sainte Ronore. . The Queen's apartments are the most spa cious and gorgeous. The first of the suite of these magnificent rooms is the large white and gold salon. The hangings are made of crim son velvet„ and the , furniture beautifully wrought out of rosewood. Then follows a small room with red silken hangings and black walnut furniture. The boudoir, hung with green velvet and furnished in the most elegant style, which is adjoining to the bed-s Chamber, has been transformed Into 'the Queen's study. The bed-chamber is hung with dark red velvet, spacious and very beautiful. The bed, which: the Queen has brought with ,her front' Spain, Is moufe of cast- iron,beautifully gilded and filled , with three , mattresses covered with red satin. ' Adjoining-the queen's chamber is' another bed-room which is occupied by her femme 416:au:flare. It ie filled with a number of clothes-presses and strong boxes, containing the famous and precious jewels of the Queen. Her servants call it the diamond room. Opposite the queen's apartment are those of the King censoit, ccinsistingof a large and small Baton, a bed-chamber, and five other rooms. The Prince of the Asturias lives with his father, and occupies a pan of these rooms. The Queen's bed, as that of the King con sort, has been brought from Spain. ( But it is very plain, made of cast-iron, withdut gild ing, and as narrow as that of a child. Between the apartments of the King and those of:the Queen, which communicate with one another, there is a splendid and very large dining-hall, with furniture of carved oak wood and hangings of superb damask. Breakfast Is served at 8 o'clock, and inva riably consists of chocolate. At 11 luncheon is served. The King consort and the Queen sit down to it alone. After they have eaten, the Prince of Asturias and his preceptor take their places. The little princesses, who occupy the second floor over the Queen' apartments, likewise breakfast by themselv es, Count Espeletta and M. Onlate, . the two intuit distinguished personages that have ac cempanied,the royal family to Paris, occupy the second floor over the rooms of the King consort. There are, besides, sixty servants of all classes in the house. The King consort and Quemdine at f; en tete-a-tets and are then waited upon by do inestics in very gorgeona liveries. The table is excellent and does the greatest honor to the cook, who is a Frenchman, and, I believe, even a Parisian. The favorite wines of the .royal couple are those of the Gironde and Champagne. The Querrgoes out but very little, except her daily promenade of at least two hours at the Bole de Boulogne; she then returns home, find, as a general thing, spends her evenings in her room, chatting with her attendants, reading, writing, or receiving visitors. She has not subscribed to any French jour nal but three or four Spanish papers are mailed to her indirectly, and she receives, be sides, an incredible number of letters frotin all countries, and a great many applications for audiences. The Queen wears very fine and varied toilets. On Sunday, at St. Germain l'Auxer role she was dressed in a short, but very ele gant brown silken cloak,and on the day when she visited her mother, she wore a long robe of violet satin with white stars. A. great many visitors try to gain access to her, but as a matter of course, all of them are not admitted to her. Her portiere has to open the front door daily several hundred times,and to answer questions such as the following : "Does the Queen of Spain live here?" Or: Queen Isabella at home ?" At four o'clock the Queen leaves her apart ments to make her daily promenade at the Bois de Boulogne. She rides out in her landau, seated between the King consort and the Prince of Asturias. • The King is of short stature and rather obese, but very strain lit, and possessed of quite affable manners. He wears a long mus tache, and his head is inclined slightly to the left; his face is mild rather than effeminate; his attitude is more politely reserved and modest than cold or affected. lie always wears a black dress-suit and gloves and appears more like the Queen's cavalier than her husband. Even in the mid dle of a painting, hie face and form would at tract little or uo attention. The precocious embonpoint of the Queen has been somewhat exaggerated, and 1 find that it does not lessen very much her natural grace and majesty. Her type is that of a Bourbon. regular,but somewhat too heavy. When she descends the broad staircase of the house,hanging on the King consort's arm, the step is slow, almost solemn, and her face serious, almost stern. You look atter. She is still the Queen. Suddenly a broad, honest smile brightens her face and lessens the hard expression of her features. She has just perceived the Prince -of Asturias, -and is now nothing:but a mother. She enters the carriage, and a few Span iards, nearly all of them belonging to the popular classes, have hastened to her, greet ing her bareheaded and in the mast respectful manner. Isabella bows to them with visible emotion and smiles mournfully. Such are the thanks of the exile. 'lsabella's mobile and open physiognomy renders very perfectly in these few minutes this three-fold air of the Queen, the mother and the exile. The Prince of Asturias is a nice boy, lively and sharp, though some say just the reverse of him. He wears a gray paletot and hat,and white necktie. He is ten years old. Happy age which laughs at exile and all the other Ittiadries of life. , Has he not his toys, his ar mies of leaden soldiers, and quite a people of wooden and pasteboard men? He seems to like Paris, and believes, per haps, that his mother has made a pleasure trip to the capital of France. —Verdi, the composer, 113 passing the winter at Genoa.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] VVAiIIiLNUTON, Jan.ll —Alexander Cummings's friends are leaving nothing undone towards securing his confirmation as Commissioner of Internal Revenue. He has a powerful lobby at, work, and the regu ar app fiances are freely wed to obtain success. Senator Cameron is pressing Cummings's name, but a careful canvass of the Senate leaves no doubt but that he titill , be rejected by a large Ina jo ri ty It is noticeable that persons here who are well known members of the Whisky Ring are advo catine Cummings's confirmation, and this of itself would defeat him before the Senate, if there were not other matters regarded as more important. From Wastkington, N,A simiGrox,Jan.ll.---Tlic.Baldmore and Poto mac Railroad is now under contract for zrading, and workmen are engaged along its entire length, and it is expected that the road will be com pleted by the first of January, 1870. This will afford two lines between the South and Balti more. The city is more than ever infested with bur glars and other kinds of thieves. On Saturday night, two wooden boxes mailed from Richmond on that day, one for Baltimore and the other for Philadelphia,were taken from the mail wagon which conveys the Southern mail from the Poto mac boat to the City Post Office and the Balti more station; and a mail bag was also stolen from the mailing room of the Post-office. The bag and the empty boxes were found in an alley near the office, all the letters having been carried away except about a dozen, among which were two money.order advices, one money-order, and sev eral drafts for money, which the robbers doubt less did not desire to present for payment.
