In making an estimate, it ,I tat be premised, that all the boats are of a suitable] parity, and that tl ei perf inn their voyages recularly- e whole season, from the first opening of She works, on theilst of April, to the usual time of closing them, about the' Ist of De rember,—thirty-five weeks,—! , and we have the follow ing result: ti ..1 390 Boats of 60 tons each, for ,5 weeks, t, gives, If soaltoats, . • The improvementareeend y a much larger estimate.

We allude to the shipping head of the Schuylkill Naviga of New i‘rk, and other line! the Delaware River, and the I _i Canal. Cargoes are taken on bo d of covered beats at ,Pottsville, and other depots In the. immediate neigh =bourhood Of the coal Mines, d delivered at New York or others markets; thu sing the time, waste and of discharging an • re-shipping as heret;?- 'fore, equal to about seventy cents a ton; the same boats returning,with =goes; of merchandise and oth er commodities, for which a ket has been found so extensive, as to afford great ncourageruent to those engaged in it. One concern put into opperntion by two or three enterprising individuals, had, Within the past season, fife,-five beats, averaging between fifty and sixty tons, each, employed in this trade; and although the} t did not get under way until lam in the season, the quan tity of coal carried by them, was 25,000 tons; and eight or ten other - boats, owned by two individuals, (also commenced at an advanced period of the se.a-,, son,) carried over 2,000 tons of coal, returning with a very considerable amount of : j badtleght, required for consumption in the coal dotricis. And singular as it may appear, the artiele•of, pressed hakehipped from New York. to Pottsvllle,lis said to have yielded a liberal profit to the carrier., I . . It is asserted on good authority, that arrangements are in progress, for an extensile e.tlargercent of this trade for the next season. A trip from Pottsville direct; to New York, is thus performed in seven days. • The current expenses of the past year have teen swelled to an amount, much llrger than usual, in con sequence of the injuries sustained by the great ice freshet of January last, and oilier extraordinary repairs to the works. A Committee of the Board ! of Managers visited the whole of the works, a few we ek, past, and it is with much pleasure we now state, in the language of their Report, “ that they found the `vhole line of improve ments, in much better order than on any pra.:eding visit of examination." in closing this report,. the Board of Managers c'.on gratetate th e gtev.tholdees or 4 the prosperity of the Company, and with Ouch pleasure, express their full Confidence in its pnispectivo continuance.
