Ihe tonnage conveyed over the Philadelphia
and Columbia Railroad has greatly exceeded that
Ol the previous year, being 234,229 too-., oj- an
excea, of 94,099 tons. Two new locomotives
■ have been placed on this road during the yeair,—
Rie whole number now being 39, and it is thought
that two additional ones Will be necessary to meet
tue demands of the present year. *
The trucks used tor section boats are not deem
ed sufficiently strong for the servj;e require.!;-,
they are often in need ot repairs;—but ull wil! be
in readiness for the spring trade. j
About GO tons of n«w rails have been laid.jand
about 100 tons will be required for the present
year—most of which will be necessary in the vi
cinity of Philadelphia. It is also recommenced
that the track between Philadelphia and Columbia
shall be relaid,in order to meet accession of b'usi
ness necessarily incident to the completion ofjthe
Pennsylvania Railroad. !
The Allegheny Portage Railroad was injured by
the floods, to an extent requiring an estimateiex
renditure of 9.4,500; and, from tl#e increase of
business upon it, two new engines are deemed in
dispensable, The increase of tonnage over 1346
is n 0,940,800 pounds. Five new setts of trucks
have been put upon this road, and two morej are
expected to be ready by the opening of naviga
tion, in the spring,—which will increase tbe num
ber from 17 to 24. The relaying of a ronsidera
ble part of the track on the inclined planes is
strenuously recommended. \
A considerable portion ot the report is occupied i
by statements of the injuries done fc the public
works by the floods of the last year f the state of
progress made in their repair, and the cost, tejthe
State, ol these repairs. All the works are ex
ptcted to be in nperatioo by ihe latter end of fhis
month, if the Legislature shall make the necessa
ry appropriations. The total Cost of the repairs
necessary upon tbe whole of the Stale works, is
estimated at ?205,939 01. '
Hie Board urge the propriety of substituting
slack water navigation, below Lewistown, for the
present navigation through the Long Narrows—
This is urged on the score of economy; and jibe
alteration, it is presumed, would cost less tlian
the amount which has been paid in a few yiars
past, for the repairs of this part of the work. Jh
The w eigh lock authorized to be constructed on
the North Branch division, has been located, 1 at
Beach Ha. en, on the lower end of the first le’vel
below Nauticoke dam. Jt will be a composite
lock, 92 leet long in the chamber, and 17 feet w*ide

The eastern reservoir has been completed ati 'a
cost of $33,506 17—being $2,500 17 more than
the appropriation, which is yet to be provided for.
The amount appropriated for the construction |of
a western reservoir, not having been used upon
that work, has reverted to the general fund; nod
the work wilt therefore require further lijislation.

The Board advert to the fact of their having
- assumed the responsibility of making a temporary
» loan ’ ln order 10 meet the expenses of the repairs
or damages by the floods of the last year, anti
“‘earnestly recommend to the Legislature the pro
priety of adopting some provision, under proper
restrictions, for the repair of extraordinary breach
es, when the specific appropriations have become
exhausted. The. disasters of the present year
point to the necessity of adopting some measured
as in similar cases, would advance to the public
interests, and, at the same time, relieve the Board
and other ofljcers of the government from the at
sumption of an unpleasant responsibility.”
And they conclude, that li
“ “ 80 Berl<,u ? beaches should occur, it may lie
safe y estimated that the receipts, from the public
works, in 1818, will amount to one
hundred thousand dollars. The estimate of ex

Leaving]!] the hands of the
Coil iti mil tec,
Ihet| wep thirly-eight persons who applied to
the committee for relief. The sums paid to each
were from $6 to Silt, accoiding to their necessities.
Many oj the persons who have received aid, have
presented themselves to the committee a second
time; a : iid Hi!lees the relief fund is speedily increas
ed, theiji will only be about S 3 to gjvg to each of.
those tvbo have already, applied, leaving out of
view a Urge number who are doubtless in Want,
but wht>; hate not, as yet, made known their situ
ation (o tbe {committee.
It,«;ill be'scen from the above statement, that
the principal, amount collected was in the Second
Ward of thejciry of Pittsburgh; and if the collect
ing co&mitfoes in the other Wards did their duty,
in like blander,- there would now be in tbe bands
of the Treasurer, at least $ >,OOO. It is to be hoped
that the; various committees will go to work at
once, and cdil upon every citizen within their re-
and urge them to contribute liber
ally. Although most of the appli atiuns for relief
have edme ftotn Allegheny, the committee regtet
that thejgood |ieop|e of our sister City have taken
so little j,.tefesr> this truly praiseworthy cause.
Let the jyommittees in that city commence without
delay, abd muke up for their post delinquencies.
The, itindersigued take occasion to stale that
many of the families of the soldiers are in the
most destitute situation—without money, food and
clothing. And while the natural guardians and
protectors of these poor and helpless families, are
risking,their lives in their country's cause, shall
we permit them to lemain in want and misery ?
Forbid h humanity— forbid it justice—forbid it
HenveiH *
In conclusion, the committee will state that the
boom trtjd vouchers are deposited with Mr. Haut
lit, cqjmer'of Wood street and Diamond alley,
and cap be inspected at any time, by those who
may wish th see the amount of money received
and paitl out. and the names of the persons to
whom it. was paid. Respectfully submitted;

Miswinislw in Isms.—We find it stated in
the Jmencan i’/nemi/ogico/ JournU, that Mesmer
ism is attracting more attention in India, at pre
sent, in : any other part of the world. The
government pas introduced it into their Medical
College at Calcutta; and the stu lents are required
to attend, the mesmeric hospital for two months,
to Study, practical Mesmerism, under Dr. Esdaile,
their receiving their appointments in
the public service. Dr. Esdaile has, by order of
Ibe Supreme lately issued a repprl
of Mesmeric practice, plating to the power to
render insensible under surgical opera
tions. Ve says, that ol 130 cases, all but seven
were rendered entirely insensible; and there were
only two case? in which he failed to produce the
Mesmeric slejp. He thinks Mesmerism will never
be superceded by ether.
(Cf’Sihcethe decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States, in relation to the claim of Mrs.
Gen. Gitxts.has been made known, many writers
of lette.m'from the cityof Washington have stated
(as though the fact was otherwise heretofore,) that
this lady .has become the centre of attraction in
the fashionable the capital. These
writers have kurely never heard of Mrs. Gaines
previous to this season, or they would have known
that, whether at New Orleans, or St. Louis, or
New York, or Washington, Mrs. G. has always
been Ihe centre of attraction, where intelligence,
vivacity; ynd genuine worth were assembled. A
correspondent' of the New York Evening Post

Hobbibex.— We havebeenpained jniisrening
to the details of a caUmitjr whifch tafel'thVfamily
of a citizep pf Sitdrday last- ' The
death of 'and the; narrow es
cape of another was the result; \ i -•
It appears th'at'the-'littleones were afflicted
with an .erflptfre disease, common to children of
tender aee,_Xhe father went to the Drug store
of John Sargeant, to procure some magnesia.—-
The druggist advised him to take, in addition,
some pulverized rheubarb. to which he consent
ed, Bp some dreadful blunder, opium was
given instead of rheubarb! The children were
dosed; the symptoms appeared; physicians
were called in; and the canse discovered. One of
the children, after suffering hours in the mos'fex
cruciating agony, died, and was thus relieved of
pain. The opium acted as an emetic upon the
other, and was thus almost miraculously saved.
Mr. Sargent, the druggist, we understand, ex
plains the mistake in this way: Opium had been
put up in accordance with a prescription, and lay
upon the counter ; in (be confusion of making up
the medicine for Mr Van Winkle, (the father of
the children.) the wrung paper was taken. We
make this statement m justice to the druggist.
