vite the attention of our readers to these reports.
TLal•of the Schuylkill Navigation Company will
be found on our first page entire. The report'of
the Enginceris more favorable than was anticipa4 ,
led, as it shows that the estimates made last year .
by the Presidentand Engineers, will prove to be .
snore than trflicient to meet the expenses of the
proposed improvements on the Canal. It has been
determined to dispense with two dani., and to 're-
Iftsce the number of locks from 109 to' 70, being
12 less than at first proposed. 'lt has also been
deemededvisrible to go on' at once with the en
largement of the-Canal, nicking it forty fret wide
at the bottom. This may cause the orening of
the eanal • to be delayed until about June.
The Rail Road Itrport was not received until
late, and we areeansequently unable this week to
puhliali more than the report of the President in
fulL From the other reports we glean the follow
ihg. items of information:
The receipts during the year riding INIJTC.er
90th 1845, were as follows : • • }
For Travel, ;103,411 13
Freight and Gooda, 60,687 74

The force of the road is as Wows
Locomonms—There ire SI Locornotites of
all classes; sixteen of which hel,ing to the Ist cites.
Calm—There are upon the road' 3104 Coal
Cars, of which 1497 aie iron, of 111 capacity of
five ton:, There are also 294 freight can, and
21 paasenger:ond baggage ears.
, The experises for ths asintenanceof the road,
independent of salaries, stationery, &c., (which
amounted to $23,127 02) were $108.645
The whore expinses of transportation were $365,
491 67. ' ' •
The quintity of coal delivered on the line of the
road. between this place and Philadelphia,. was.
60,613 tons. We hare no data 11 which' we
s an ascertain the quantity delivered on the line of
, the Canal by the Navigation Company.
since the above was in type we have learned
that the Reading flail Road Company
bare contracted for 1500. iron cart, instead of 1000,
to put upon the road during the ensuing year.
TAX of .700AIE. —The State ,Treasurer. Mr.
Snowden, deserves great credit for his exertions to
meet the payment of the Febpary interest, but
We are sorry to see that in his rceent report he
recommends 'the imposition of a tax, of,lo cenfa
per ton on coal, the proceeds to be applied to a
sinking fund; '
Propohitions of this kind have frequently been
before the Legislature, but they have been voted
down so decidedly that we had been induced to
believe they would never -be repeated." Coolly
-already taxed high enough. Not by Q direct tax
upon-each ton mined, but the Coal !antis, the sur
face of which are we , th little or nothing, are taxed
high on account of the, coal beneath. There has
been a duty placed upon Foreign coal in. order
that we might be able to come in competition with
- It in the Home market. What prepriefY would
, there be in the State Government placing a tax
upon an 'article which the l General Government
has enacted a law to proteetl The State receives
O good -deal of revenue from the public works,
which they would not receive but for the coal
trade. It wouli he better then Tor Pennsylvania
to pay a bounty for the developement of her min
eral resoursea than to cripple them by placing a
tax upon the articles produced. If coal has to -be
taxed; however, we think that a like tax ought to
, be imposed upon wheat, wood, and, other necessi
ties. It would be exceedingly unjust to single
out but, one article to tax, end not tax other !gni
etc. in the-same ratio. We have before expressed
our opinion ° upon the subject ro fully that we do,
not feel di.posed to say any thin; finther, at
. resent.
