Caoadaj Europe, Asia, &c. The Collins* line in ic,
as Atlantic, Arctic> Baltic, &c. The line from this
port has ihe“City of Glasgow,” and is to have tbe
“ City of Philadelphia.” It is rumored that it is
proposed to c&U the other ship, now building at New
York, tho “Pennsylvania ; f Mhe]name for the fourth
is not yet chosen. Now whv not carry out the idea
unitormly,Bnd name tbe others after cities, e. g.
of Liverpool” and « City of Pittsburgh 1”
Thus would the Philadelphia line be as easily dis<
uoMAshedf by tho naoes of the vessels as the New
YorkABd£ttgiult-hhea., sr e would then have the
Cuy of Glasgow, City of Philadelphia, City of Li ver
pool and City of Pittsburgh.— Phil, Ltdgtr.

NUMBER XIII.
Hxbbisbvbo, January 30, 1851
Last night the Canal Board announced 6ome of
their appointments, which, I presume, you have
received by Telegraph before this reaches you.—
How far the appointments are generally satisfac
tory I am unable to say; but one thing is certain,
there are a good many long faces this morning,
and tables at the different hotels boast fewer guestß
than yesterday. This, however, was to be expect
ed . Amongst the hosts of applicants, there would,
of course, be many disappointed ones; many of
whom doubtless feel very sore, and" will return
home with feelings by no means the most pleast
ant. In looking over tbe list of appointments this
morning, and after having witnessed the scramble
under the Canal Board, I cannot but think
a change (and that a speedy one), is demanded.
There can be no doubt that the annual Convention
for the purpose of nominating a Canal Commis
sioner, exercises a most pernicious influence upon
the interests of the Democratic party, and certain
ly will, if persisted in, result in its final over
throw. Look at the Conventions already held.
With every succeeding year from the first, they
have grown in corruption and bribery, the last—
the Williamsport Convention—exceeding all its
predecessors in this respect, and the coming one
promising to exceed even that notoriously corrupt
one. These are powerful truths, but the interests
of th? party demand that they should be spoken.
A remedy, and that an effectual one, must be pro.
sided, or we shall have such a state of affairs os
SriU leave the Democratic party largely in the
w 'il not Ptofend to suggest a better
o ** l»m not competent; but I feel
“sotting that something might be.
<ftjfi* <Shieh' would at once remove tbe evil which
has (with the best motives, no doubt, rjn the part
of those who first suggested it), been engrafted
upon our election laws. The attention of the Leg
islaturs should be specially directed to this sub
ject.
An attempt baa been made in the Senate to
abolish the Board of Revenue Commissioners,
which, I think, will certainly fail, and rightfully
too. What object is to be accomplished by tbe
abolition of this Board, is a mystery to every one
who feels interested in the prosperity of the State
From some statistics presented by Senator Packer
it will be seen that this Board has been the source
of very handsome revenue to the Stale, and that
its continuance is likely to bo productive of equal
ly beneficial results. At tbe first meeting ol the
Board in 1545, the increase in the value of taxable
property in tbe State was $8,739,623, which, at 3
mills on the dollars, increased the revenue annu.
ally for three years s26,269—making in all $78,.
807.
At the second meeting in ISIS, the estimated
increase in the value of taiable property in the
State Was $7,014,274, which, at the same rate a,
the preceding three years, yielded a revenue of
s63,l2B—making on aggregate for the six years
the handsome sum of $141,933 ; from which is to
be deducted the expenses of the Board, amounting
in both sittings to $4,306, which deducted from
the gross increase, leaves $137,420 net gain for
:be revenue of the State. Now, with these incoi:
trovertible facts before us, on what ground do the
advocates for the abolition of this Board found
their claims! - Certainly not upon a desire to m.
creese tbe State revenue. Certainly not with a
desire to procure satisfactory and reliable atati.ti.
tical information. As the subject will claim warm
disc union, I forbear any further remarks st this
t ‘ me - Yours, SPRIG.

New Out-fit ott the Cumberland Valiev Rail
road.—The Cumberland Valley railroad company,
eayi the Harritburg Union, after relaying tho wholo
length of the road with lieary T rail and Improring
the grades, haa purchased new locomotires and pas,
senger cars, of tho very latost and most improved
atyle. Persons traveling this route therefore can do
so with as much comfort as on any other road in the
country. We also learn (adds tbe Union,) that this
company has undertaken tho stocking and running
ol the York and Cumberland road, which is to be
worked in connection with their road, and that it
will be opened for trade and travel about the Ist ol
February.
ErrccTa or Railroads. —As indicating the influ.
once of Railroads upon the general prosperity of any
district or territory through which they pass, and es
pecially in appreciating the value of real estate, it is
stated that before the location of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad through Franklin county,
Tenn., the best lands were worth only from eight
to ten dollars per acre ; and that since the road was
located and the work of construction commenced,
the same lands have advanced in price to from fil
teen to twenty-five dollars. This shows an increase
of quite one hundred per cent. As the road is com
pleted and put in operation, the surrounding coun,
try must derive still greater benefua from it.
Pennsylvania Wool.—Wool is one of tho great
I staples (rom which this State derives much of its
I wealth ; and we see, with pleasure, that the Logisla*
I ture has appointed n select committee, to consider
the diacoveries ol our townsman, P. A. Browne
Esd., on this subject, to which he has devoted much
I attention. If tbe product of wool can be doubled by
breeding and crossing the beat hinds whioh produce
the final fleece and the most durable and beautiful
cloth, caasimere and shawls, it is difficult to see
why the Legislature ought not to extend Colonel
Browne aid and encouragement. The finest fleeced
(tbe golden fleece I) will eat no more pasture than the
coarsest; its meat will be as tender and sweet,.but
its wool will bring 50,60 or 100 per eent. more.
Add to these considerations, the importance of fine
wool to American manufactures/ and the Pennsylva,
nia resources; and abundance of sound reatonswill
moat amply justify the Legislature in lending him a
“ helping hand,” in a matter that concerns equally I
every ciuaen.— Phita. Ledger. I

*• There is a gentleman residing in the county of
Pittsylvania, who is a larger slaveholder ted wealth
.er than Geo. Tarver, and who is perhaps the richest
man in Virginia. He ottos 1500 or 2,oooslsvss and
plantation almost without number. The increase
of bis slaves euablei him annually to settle a large
plantation. Of hit income wo are not prepared to
speak. We respectfully suggest to these two gen

lo be made to insure their compliance with it, that
they forthwith remit us a check for 810,000 each
lor which we will send them a lock of our hair ■ or
If it be more agreeable, we propose to add onr com

three parcels of which each shall take a share. We
aro excessively impationt to know the result of the
proposition.”
The Unrnown Dead.—A San Francisco corres.
pondeot, alluding to tbe deaths by cholera, says that
the names of many of the victims are nq,! published.
000 undertaker, in a single day, buried five persons
whose names could not be ascertained. Mon arrive
from tho mines, or from sea, strangers to almost
eyory ono. Boarding at tbe restaurants, and paying
for each meal at the lima, end for their lodgings
osch night in advance, they hare no necessity to
register their names, and hundreds or these men
have died within a few weeks utterly unknown in
the community.
United States Mail Steausuis Ohio.—This
vessel left Now York on Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock, for Havana, Ac., with the California mails.
The Commercial says she has been restored to more
than her former beauty, and additional improve
ments have been made throughout. Bhe carries out
ono hundred and twelve passengers—among thorn
Captain Setgravo, United States Navy; Capt. French,
Unitod States Army; Dr. F. C. Smith, United
States Army; Dr. S. W . Woodbouse, United Stales
Army; and J. 8. Nngent, a California editor.
fluoAß RErnnna.—A new process for making or
refining sugar, by tbe application of centrifugal pow
er, has been introduced at New Orleans, and the
Picayune understands that arrangements are on foot
for introducing it on many sugar plantations in that
State. A coarse brown sugar, bought for 4k cents
was converted into an article worth 6i cents, in exs
actly six minutoa. The invention is of English ori«
gin, and dates some two years back. Howland, As*
pinwall A Co., are the owners of the patent for the
United States and Cuba.
Anecdote of Aaron Boer.—A correspondent
furnishes the Providence Journal with tho following
as authentic: - B
Burchard was preaching- one of his

lust at the moment Col. Aaron Burr entered, and ex
claimed, There is the grey headed sinner; I shall ap
pear in judgment against him. Col. Burr walked
own the aisle with the bold firm military step so pea
cuiiarly hit own, until he had reached tbe centre
ith a low bow ho addressed the minister thus: “Mr.
reacher, I have been a lawyer in this city for near
and of all the rascals it hasevei been
ray lot to deal with, none surpass that class of crim*
male Who turn State’s evidence.” The above may
he relied on as correct. 1

.. IPT-TB l ;** that a man came to my house in
the fall of 1819, by the name of Henry Els, in a very
desumte condition, and was almost totally blind. He
had been a soldier in the British service. He was then
taken to one of, the best Hospitals in Lnnifnn, *mt had
the best treatment that London could afford, and could
not be restored to sight; aod was discharged as incura

I would tnr some of it on this man. 1 get him. a small
botile of the Petroleum Oil. which cared his eyes, well
