Wo hare rteTef designed to represent it as the greatest in importance. It is far from it. The iron manu facture is undoubtedly the greatest Bourco of the wealth of our city. And we understand that it was never more prosperous than at the present time. Engine builders, steel manufacturers, rolling mill and foundry men, and all the other manufacturers of iron '* fabrics ” in Pittsburgh are probably prospering now a 9 well as they hate ever done boforo. Orders are ia advance of the means of supply in many branoheß of the business. And the prospects for the future aro highly encouraging. The foreign nows, by late arrivals, are oil favorable to this great interest of the Iron City. . Manufacturers of glass, an other great interest of oar city, need no other encouragement than the abundant orders they - receive. ■ The coal trade, notwithstanding the very eeri ous losses it has suffered of late, mil bo on the whole profitable to this community for the lost twelve months. About 120 coal boats were lost in the last run, containing probably a million bushels of coal, worth a hundred thousand dol lars. Yet the high price at which the balance sells in the lower markets mil make the returns about equal to ordinary runs of coal. TMb cool trade is very unoertain in its obaracter. Great losses and great profits to individuals are report- ed. While some havemetwith disastrous losses - others have realised fortunes during the present year. Wo have heard of ono company that can not have made less than $25,000 of dear profit from the trado this year; whilst others have lost largo sums. We have been informed that ono company had three pairs of boats in the midst of the memorable storm on the Ohio river, in Which so many boats and lives were lost, yet not one of those boats were loRt; and they are now at Now Orleans, where almost fabnlons prices are obtained. We have but one remark to mako in conclu sion. The mode of carrying onr coal to the South-western markets, to bo safe and perma -nently profitable, must yot bo by tow-boats and barges. More capital will be required for the business, but iu that way alone can the frequent lossesbe avoided, and cortain profits secured. The trado is too valuable, and the losses too freqnent and serious to be left much longer to mere “lack and chance.” The excitement in relation to the railroad dif ficulties at Erie, seems to be subsiding, both nt the*East and West of oar State ; and the hope seems to be now generally entertained that the war will soon bo ended. It is not improbable that the prompt ootion of oar legislature in re gard to the Franklin Canal Company’s railroad, has done mach to moderato the tone of the ' newspapers that have heretofore been most abusive towards oar State. They have discover ed that snch unmeasured abaso huß awakened a just resentment, instead of alarm; and has resulted in giving to our State the control of an important link in the line of - the Lake Shore roods. This iB not to destroy that road, or ab stract travel and trade by the Lake Shore route. .It merely gives to Pennsylvania the control of a part of that line of roads within its own borders. Competent persons have been appointed as agents of the State, to take charge of that piece of road, and provide for its continued use, as heretofore, for the acoommodation of the pub lic, East and West. The track of tho Erie and North-cost railroad iB changed to the four feet ten inoh gaage, and a connection made with tho Franklin Canal road, by which business will go on, without; obstruction. The public generally will then have no further interest in the matter, and Congress will havo no farther occasion to consider the subject. Tho only unsettled question then will bo be tween the late proprietors of that road and the State of Pennsylvania. That our State will bo just towards one oan doubt.: As mat - ters stood, before the late act of forfeiture, great injustice was done to the commonwealth, and to its own improvements and pnblio works. While the Pennsylvania Central road was paying a three mill tonnage tax to tho State for the privi lege of making and working a road in competi tion with the works owned by the State, a Now Fork and Ohio company, was nsmg the soil of Pennsylvania for the working of a railroad in competition with both, froo from all tonnage du ties; without any compensation; and without any authority oflaw whatever. Tho tonnage tax on the Central road last year amounted to over $86,000. Such was the tax upon -our own road, while, a Now York road, over our soil, was free from any such tax. We are not now con : tending for the propriety of such a tax on other roads; bnt certainly, if such a tax is to be im posed, it should not be upon our own citizens, and our own roads, while foreign capitalists, and . their unauthorised roads, are exompt If our . contemporaries in tho West will look calmly at this view of tho matter, they will see "that this . was a wrong to which this State was not bound to submit. In the settlement of the controversy between the Company, whoso road is forfeited, and the State, justice to both parties must be done; and joatice to Erie not forgotten in tho meantime BOBT. E.

The Globe had the whole of Gen. Cass’s great speech, made in the Senate on tho Ist instant, (16 columns) primed in ono hour and fifty-five minutes after it was delivered, and circulated it that samo evening in the city and various dis tant towns end cities. Expenso or Opening Streets In Pittsburgh IV o were called on a few days sinco by a gen* tlcman from Clinton village, and informed that an impression prevailed to some extent, in that part of the county, that an effort was being made to widen certain streets and alleys in Pitts burgh, and charge the expense npon tho county. From the data given we presume the rumor aroso out of the late attempt to open Hancock street from tho upper end of Wood street to tho Alle gheny river. Buildings were to be torn down and a largo expenso incurred in effeoting that object; hut no attempt was made to saddle the expense upon the county. Tho damages were as sessed, cud, under tho provisions of nn.act of Assembly, those damages were charged upon property owners along Wood and other streets, supposed to bo bonefitted by the opening of the new street. The law has since been repealed, and the project for the present abandoned. Bat at no time was it sought to make the people in tho country bear any portion of tho expense. There a number of the streets, laid out in tho plan of the city district, not yet opened; and many of oar oitizens contend that the county should bear the expanse of opening some of them. Some of them are designed so thoroughfares through which the market wagons tho coal teams, and the travel generally from tho country reach the markets, warehouses and busi ness portions of the city. It is nrged that tbo peoplo of tho county Bhould boar a portion of tho cost of opening these streets, on the ground that they arc as much for tho besefitand accom modation of tho peoplo of the country ob of tho city; and are, in fact, as mnch county roads as the highways that traverse the townships, and are built at tbo expense of the county. The city helps to build tho county roads; and, in fact, pays mora than half the cost. Should tbs coun ty help to build enoh of the aly roads as equal ly benefit city and county ? THE NEW SCHOOL LAW. Wo havo received from Dr. MoCllutock a oopy of the bill, reported by him to the Senate, to re model and amend tbo school laws of tho Com monwealth. It contains many excellent provi sions. It is no party measure, of oourso. It provides for a change in the mode of managing tho pnblio sohools of our oity, and places them upon a similar plan to that in force in tho city of Philadelphia. Among other things, in this oonnootlon, is one provision which we do not like. It provides that each Ward of the city shall eleot six direc tors, who, after eertain preliminary measures, shall all act together as a board of controllers for all tho Wards. There are nino Wards in the oity. Tho hoard of-controllers would then con sist of fifty-four members; a number entirely too large, in our opinion, for harmony and effi ciency. It would form a body more than half as largo as the House of Representatives at Har risburg, and more than one-half larger than the Sonato. Two or throe from eaoh ward would be a sufficient number, and would despatch busi ness moro speedily, and with a more saintary sense of individual responsibility. Wo would suggest an amendment in that part of the bill. Some change in the management of the schools of Pittsburgh is desirable, and will soon become necessary. Whether tho [plan proposed by the bill now before the Senate will be acceptable to our oitizens remains to be seen. We will pub lish, in a few days, so muob of the bill ns relates to the subject.
