The letters from Lonaen all agree in saying that the English Ministry me entirely averse to war. and that no serious apprehension is felt of such an event in the money circles, Iliough the eosin arLr rT Of such an event had created a good deal of cau tion.

Reciprocal internal Impravenserd.—By the fol lowing message, transmitted from'. the Governor of the State. of New York,• it will be seen, that the Committee appointed by the Senate of our State, to co-operate with the authorities of New York, in an attempt to connect the canals of the two States. If this is effected an interchange of the Coal of our State, can be made for the salt and plaster of New York. EiIiCUTIVZ Albany. April 9th, 1839. To the lA;i:lthw:tre:—.

It is estimated that 1,000,000, tons will be requir ed to supply the demand of this year, including the estimated. amount on hand at the opening of nav igation; and it is evident that unless purchasers come forward promptly, the demand cannot be sup. plied—a deficit must occur, and the consumer feel the jurious effect. The remedy must be with the Nav igation Company, for unless the price of the dealer 'here be obtained, maw of the collieries will be a bandoned—many only partially worked, and those who'd. hold on, will be doomed to actual loss, and hope deferred of future profit. .

BANNAN-:There was a communication in the last Ebporium, purporting to have been writ. ten by a passenger in Pott, Shoener 4 Co's line, as Thursday 11th bat, which I conceive an act of justice to correct, as it is composed of a tissue of falsehood from first to last, and could not be the sen timents of any passenger in that stage, that day. The stages, instead of both coming out of Reliding, under the whip, came by different roads ;"the new opposition line, in which I was a passenger, took the old road, to take up some passengers, and Wea ver's Dust Line, did not come rip to us, till near the toll gate, about two miles oat of the Borough : Our horses never crossed theirs but once, which was when they attempted to edge our stage into a xut, with a view of capsizing it; our driyer then, in self defence, crossed their team, and kept the lead; going moderately, until within a few yards of the gate. Weaver's driver then put the string on his team, forced our horses against the post of the gate ! and passed us at full speed ! We were naturally incen sed at such conduct, and requested the driver of our stage, to overtake him, which he refused to do, say ing it was positively against his orders, and that .be was so strictly charged against racing, that he dared not do et. Weaver's line, so anxious were they to keep ahead, did not stop at Port Clinton to dine. Our passengers partook of a good dinner at Mr. Walkers, had three quarters of an hour rest, and came into Pottsville, at the same moderate pace we started with, being our allotted six hours on the route, and the driver having shown no diposition to race. The conduct of Weaver's driver was a base out rage, and all the blame of the transaction rests with those who permit the lives and limbs of citizens to be pm-illed.— I am aware of the risk I incur in affixing my name,: in answer to a nameless correspondent; but I have k felt it an imperative duty to the proprietors of the new line, without being aolicikd either directly or indirectly by them, to protest against the promulga tion of untruths, which are dangerously calculated.to shift responsibility from•. those, who are rendering themselves amenable to the offended law, and the distrust of an ontrageecommunity, CHARLES A.
