Dominated at a public meeting, was cavied better
than 3to 1. The only decided opposition was to
Peter F. ltfutley for Council. E. O. Parry for 'Fown

•gainst the above mentioned persona, and partiAulnr

b the . most rabid of the locos, and that of; Esq.
8 nzinger substituted: the relauve.popufarity of the

Tuaes IN CANAL sous.—Several of our Boats
haiirklready adopted the•tabes, for ascertaining the
quantity of water producedi 7 hy leaking, invented by
Mr. Winslow, and which we learn 'have been in
spected and *sprayed of bp i many of We coal de la
era, and by the Directors of the Navigation Co.
One of these is pliMed in We bow, another in the
stem, and the third nudships, so that by measuring
with a scale the depth of. water when light, and
when weighed, a general: average may be made,
which is added or deducted from the light weight,
ais the case may be. As far as we can judge from
first impressions, this plan is.calculated to remedy
existing difficulties in part, i provided the tubes can
be rendered inaccessible to those, who are disposed
to be dishonest. • . .
We learn eta in contetriplation among the deal

u Black Dwarf," arid u Old Mortality. " Those
•vhich wish to procure a good and economical sett of

Coleman's Moog's( ifliscellany.—The announce
ment of the appearance of this new Magazine, which
will be p{iblished on the &dot' next month, is anoth
er evidence that the pre c is rapidly approaching, when
we shall rid longer be cortipelled to draw on- Eng
land for our literary recreation. It is time that this
subserviency should be shaken off: our country de
mands a protest against the imperious stamp acts
on belies lettres—she requires a new declaration 0
independence from mental vassalage, end our repub
lic of literature should be now prepared to maintain
her own rights and powers, without drawing on the
resources of others, or at least demand a fair reci
procity for her mental productions, We hive gloris
ous names to head this declaration—names, whose
fame has pervaded the civilized worldwritere whose
effusions are translated into every -tongue, and poets
whose muse is re-echoed in every human language
of christendom.
,We fag then, no ordinary gratification in announ
cing, that Mr. Samuel Coleman, one of the most'
enterprising publishers in New. York, has underta
-1 ken this Magazine. and that Grenville Mellen,. and
, Walsam Cultrr, Esyrs., will be its editors, and their
reputation affords an earnest of the character of the
work. It is intended to form an interesting miscel
lany, fur the display of original ability, and .many
contributors are already engaged to add beauty to
its pages. The ocean oflitemture, will. be searched,
as are the Indian seas by the eastain diver, and the
fruiti will be, gorgeous pearls to decorate. this cas
ket of the muses.
Thew, can be no fears entertained, that the are
na of competition is already too full of literary glad
iators, striving for pre-ealinevce ; there is room for
more, and the public will show their readiness to
support them ; the readitig community have a quali

infuse a long dormant energy into them, and warm
them with the recollections of Lodi and Austerlitz,
.to shake Continental Europe to its'centre, to hurt
the weak dynasty which now fills the peat of Napo.
Leon, to the ground s rebuild the Imperial Throne, and
place upon it one of the blood of 'Bonaparte.
We have been long convinced, ,that the genius of
/a belle France could not brook the policy of the
present incumbent of the Throne;—his African vic
tories, and his displays of military renown had their
influence for a time, but the clap-traps of the Mexi
can blockade,. the bombardment of taloa, and the
taking of Vera Cruz have, produced no effect. The
flimsey veil has been seen through, the false mist
scattered, and the French nation now demands to be
led 'to conquest and renown. It is the, national
foible; she is never happy, save when embroiled in
war—she sheds her blood as freely as we drink her
sines, and her broken ranks are voluntarily refilled,
and all for mistaken glory I—that bauble, which men
and nations both seek, and whose ultimate etid is
ruin or. the grave.. We love 'to think of France, as
the first friend who lent a hand to assist the tottering
step of our nation's infancy—we love her chivalry,
her gaietyeher nice honor, andloper to see her steer
safe from civil discord and international war.
The Braganza Pirates —Two of these miscreants
have been found guilty at New York; a report of
their trial will be found on our first page. Since
their condemnation, one has hung himself in the
prison of that city; so that of the five actually en
gaged as principals in this atrocious murder, three
have beoome their own executioners, the two others
having hung themselves in European prisons.
Since penning ilre above, we have intelligence
from New York, that another of these miscreants, an
Englishman named Davys, who had been permitted
to testify in the case, was found dead in his cell, with
-his throat cut, and the arteries of both arms severed.
Truly the way of the transgressor is hard. •
North Carolina.—lt appears that little Mr. By

whiCh leaves but little doubt of his election; he was
defeated by Bynum two years ago, by a very few
votes.
Raising Potatoes.—lt is said that if a potatoe be
planted in the bottom of a barrel, and as it germi
nates it be repeatedly covered with earth, every shoo
will send forth Mots, and produce fruit. If this be
the case, and the experiment is worth trying, let
some of our gardeners plant a row or two and as they
grow up, follow them with boards,' making a long
box, which fill up, as in 'the case of the barrel. Let.
,some one try . tt,and every one who succeeds, may

and fragrant plants with which it was filled gave's
luxury to that sweetness and innocence; which so
characterises the young in • their loved amusements.
At the extremity of the room, upon a platform
some four or five feet high, were seated in all their
virgin beauty the God and Goddess of the day, tit.
tended by their maids of honor, surrounded by a
semi-circle of beautiful green, adorned by a profusion
of gay flowers and canopied by hemlock boughs and
mountain pine. Around and on either aide of the
room, sat the beauteous nympths, arrayed in purity,
innocence and love. Up the centre aisle was spread
a table, which groaned. under the weight of the rich
est and sweetest delicacies, interspersed with flowers
fragrant as beautiful, and o'er hung by silvery pirie
and mountain laurel—and there in a corner stood
together as fair a group as ever blest the eyes of man,
acting in the offices of lookers on, or ministering an
gels. . In short, it was as joyous, happy, sweet and
beautiful a congregation as e'er I. looked upon..

•'RAIL ROADS AND CANALS.
There is one argument in favor of the Pottsville
And Philadelphia Rail Road of immense importan6e
to our region, which has escaped the comment, if
not attention of the many who have written on the
subject. There are many tracts of coal land, lying
some 6,8, 10 and 12 miles horn the head of naviga
tion, which would now require an outlay of from 6
to $lO,OOO in rail Had cars, in order to carry nn a
profitable business. This would be required to
transport the coal from the landings to the canal,
and is too expensive, and prevents the opening , of
new mines; but when the Pottsville and Philadelphia
rail road is completed, and! that Company furnish
the cars, which can be carries to the very mouths of
the drifts and loaded, a great item of private expen
diture is gavel, and these mines will immediately be
throwri open to competition. The facilities this plan
of operation may afford, will be incalculable, and will
open a new field of enterprise which is now com
pletely shut out by the distance. from the head of
canal navigation.
This argument will pertain equally to all the limbs
of the new Rail Road, the Little Schuylkill,
the West Branch the Norwegian, the Mill
Creek, and the Schuylkill Valley Roads. Each of
these lead from valuable coal fields, and must be con
sidered as so many arms of the great road when
completed. I adverted last week to the Little
Schuylkill Road, and endeavored to show that link
cause of its, proving unprofitable, was to be traced
to the fact, that the Company were engaged in
mining as well as transporting coal, thus proving the
old adage of" two many irons in the fire."
The West Branch Road comes next; en this the
produce of the vast coal fields west of Pottsville are
brought to market, and it will form a junction with
the Rail Road at Schuylkill Haven.
The Norwegian Rai! Road is the next in order,
cornmenciog at Mount. Carbor., running NW
through the Borough of Pottsvtlle, about half a mile,
and then branching off east and west_ The east
branch connects witlithe Danville Rail -Road, and
the west extends to the lime Hill at Mount Laughfee.
The Mill Creek Roadeommences at Port Carbon,
tai ° miles east of Pottsville, and can easily. be joined
to the main road. It extends about four miles up
the course of the Mill Creek, crossing the coal strata
at right angles, and terminating at the Broad Monti:
tain, near the Danville and Pottsville Rail Road.'
Lastly comes the Schuylkill Valley Road, likewise
commencing at Port Carbon, which is the head of
'Canal Navigation, and extending up the Schuylkill
river ten miles to Tuscarora, crossing the coal meas
ures obliquely.. " •
All these limbs, it will be seen, penetrate into the
very heart of the coal formation, and lead through
excellent timllr laud. When they become grafted
to the parent stock, the Philadelphia and Pottsville
Rail Road, what is to• prevent a locomotive from
starting froin Philadelphia, and vitiating the Jugular
Vein on the Broad Mountain, the same day l—what
is to prevent it from taking a train of laden curs,
depoiiiting the coil on the Delaware, and return the
same night! . When this is effected, will any coal
merchant, who has a train of cars ready built, haul
his coal to the landing and put it into a canal boat.
exposing it to shipment, loss on theline, and attend
ant wastage, when the very cars that receive it at
the month of the mines, all ready screened, can carry
it to Philadelphi al will any dealer go to the vast
outlay ofTi ovanig can when that company will
furnish them! Assuredly not, and the Rail Road
Company may rest assured that they secure the
transportation of every ton of Coal from this Re
gion, fur which" they furnish the requisite tars.
Many operators are now engaged in the business,
who in a year or two would have to procure a new
set of cars for canal business; these will gradually use'
the Rail Road to save this outlay.
Here then is the great overlooked advantage of a
Rail Road to our region. The Coal can be screened
in the working chutes, of a colliery—placed 'in the
cars at its mouth—drawn to the depot--cross to the
Delaware—or pass on. without' re-shipment to the.
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail Road.
The Canal has no such advantages—the Kill
Creek, the West Branch, or the 'Schuylkill above
Port Carbon, cannot be penetrated by ! is brandies,
for the want of water. There is not sufficient for a
present supply, as the last dry season sufficiently
tested;. and as the Rail Road is not effected by
changes of season, except probably a week or two in
mid winter, it must be recognized as the quickest,
most convenient, and most economical route for our
produce.
It remains then for the Schuylkill Navigation
Company to prepare for a keen competition; it be l
hooves them so to increase their facilities, redttcri
their tolls, guard -their line from wasteage. and poi
tect the light-weights as, to induce the trade to rip!
port them, for they may rest assured, that their day
of dictation will end, the very moment the Rail Road
is open to the Schuylkill Coal Trade. Z
