On Satarday the very able Report of Robert Farris,. civil engineer, appointed by the- Canal Board to make a survey or tha route-to avoid the Inclined Planes of the Portage Railroad, was.read ic the: Senate, and 2000 copies in English and 1000 in German ordered to be printed.

Mr. Powers, Superintendent of this Road, estimates the value of the old materials from 13 miles of the Road that would be avoided by dis* pensing with the five Western Planes, at §149,990. Estimating the old materials on the same pnnci* pie . for 21 miles of the old Road that will be avoided, if the new Road is made, embracing ten Inclined Planes, Depot and Riggers left on Sum* mit, &c., the estimate will stand thus: 200 tons of Plate and Edge Rails from Planes,at $25 y ton. 170 tons defective Edge Ralls at $25 ton.. .......... 4,250 2200 tons Edge Rails, which will answer to replace the defective Rails on such pans of the old Road as has been adopted with the new, at SCO p-ton ......; 132.000 1000 tons cast iron Chains, fit for use, at $45>10n........45,000 60 tons Chains, unfit for use,at $l5 p- 91,00 55,00 32,00 5.C0 5,00 2.50 3,00 10^00 ton. 9,000 20 Stationary Engines, at $2500 each 50,000 20 Houses and Lots at the Planes, nt $4OO each 8,000 Depot and Riggers left at Summit . 1,500 Miscellaneous items 2,000 Which amount deducted from the estimates above giten of the entire cost of the different routes, will leave the actual cost as follows; Line No. I $760,383 Lino No. 2: 650,383 Line No. 3 582,833 Line No. 4 491,117 44045399 143,651 17 The expediency of the immediate appropriation of a sufficient amount, by the present Legislature, to construct this Road, is so ably und conclusively demonstrated by the Report, that f cannot but think that, unwilling as the members may be to increase the State Debt, they will grant the re. quest of the Canal Commissioners, and make the appropriation. 247,043 01 103,435 00 953.047 27 224.812 00 1497,320 58 ~ 1,422,722 OS 87,135,703 60 The estimate of W.

The Report is so lengthy, and embraces so much that is important, that. I must refer you to it Tor further particulars; although, from the mis. erable system adopted of giving the Public Print ing to the lowest bidder,, there are some doubts whether you will get to see it for three months to come. To-day the report of Messrs. Buckalew anil Wright, Commissioners appointed to investigate the affairs of the Susquehanna County Bank, was presented, and 3000 in German and the same num ber in English,, ordered to be printed- There should bare been twenty thousand instead, for a more complete expose of downright premeditative bank rascality has never been made, it will serve to open the eyes oi the people of Pennsyl vania to the gross outrages which may be perpe trated with impunity by men under the shield of the Banking System. I will merely mention one fact given in the Report. When the Bank failed there -was in its vaults the sum of twenty-seven and a half cents in specw, and one five.dollar note, with more than two hundred thousand dollars worth of notes m circulation. Whose loss is this 7 Let thousands of poor, honest, haid-working men and women, who are sufferers by this outrageous swindle, answer. Yours; v SPRIG; NUMBER XXI Hanaißßuna, Feb. 11,1801. Petition day in the House or-Senate has ever ever beeh devoid of interest. The petitions are read by their titles only, and consequently nothing can be known of their character unless by permis sion of the House they are read. In nine cases out of ten the reading of petitions entire is as great a bore as the mere reading of the titles, so that under all circumstances, petition day may be: .set down as dull and prosy, In the House yesterday nothing .was done.: Af ter the petitions—of which there were some two or three hundred—were read, a few bills were in place, and the. subject of the tariff was again ta ken up,; Mr. Griffin on the floor- Mr. Griffin is a practical man, and his remarks, although, per haps, less oratorical than some which preceded them.tvere nevertheless piquaiit and.sensible, and created no small degree of interest. His illustra tionswere entirely practical, and as such were fully comprehended. Mr. G. labors under the dis. advantage of ill health, which took from his speech that energy of action which doubtless would nth. erwise have characterized it, The tariff is still under discussion, and is likely to be for several days to come, as quite a number of the members are reported asready cocked and primed for speeches, and there will be no peace -until they are delivered of the “Bunkum” that is struggling within them for expression; Should any of these forthcoming speeches develope any -new ideas, or throw any additional light upon the greakxloctnnea of political economy, I will advise you of the facts.

As this is a most important bill I will .endeavor to give yon o brief abstract of it. -i It is.perhaps not generally known that in the office-of the Secretaryof.the Commonwealth there is’a mass :.of-valuable documents, papete, letters &c., relating to the eatly history of Pennsylva nia. Many of these are of the most interesting character, and intimately connected with the ear ly hisjoryer.aur State. They are irt fact-the only materials from which her true history could be compiled, and as such their, preset vation becomes a . matter of the first importance. The bill just passed provides for the printing of Ihe.minutes :flf. the proprietary government and Council of Safety down to 4he close of the revolutionary war in • 1793, at which point the tliird volume of the Co lonial Reserves, already published, terminates.— The Secretary is instructed to issue proposals-far the faithful and literal transcribing of these Re*, cords, and the publication and binding of them in a form uniform, with the three volumes already published. The security demanded for the faith* lul performance of the contract is $lO,OOO. - Two volumes are to be published.annually until the whole is completed, and 1000 copies of each volume to be printed... Any number not exceeding one thousand copies are to be disposed of by subscription, at one dol lar per volume, the proceeds to be, paid into the State Treasury.

The Erie Bankibas not. vet respon ded. These circumstances, considered in connec tion with the much more extensive Reports, that many of ,the bank's are now required to make than formerly, and an unusual pressure of business in the;deparlmeiit, will readily. account for a reason nbleUelay in the completion of the copies and tbe •tabular abstract.

From the feeling mtinire'Btcd among the people, throughout the week, we have no doubt hut that tho meeting on the 22d will,be the largest ever held in this: conoty.
