Late from Oregon and California.—Brief Synopsis
of the News.
1. Late arrivals from Oregon represent:the coun

year's harvest (1846) as very productive; and:
the health aril comfort of the people has not b4ri

United State! and Great Britain, with regard to
the boundary lines of that.territory, and entertain
ed the'strongest desire to be embraced within our
aims of freedom," and receive the protection; and
be tinder the jurisdiction of our Government.—
TheY were not advised of. the settlement of the
question, and the abandonment of our claim to

for general education. The nurnberof emigrants
hid not been so great in 1649- as in the previout
year—though large companies were still arriving,
generally,.in good :health, and experiencing.liltre
, . molestation from the Indians, or otherwise." - The
diminution - is accounted for in the largoltiumber

" 'somewhat precipitately from Nerm'York early last

of March, Where a requisition from Gen. Kearney.

. The Schuylkill Navigation again-The Way-trade..
In a communication published some time since
in the Philidelphis United Slate eGazette, signed ,
Grtstubfiton, it was ',toted that the way-trade of
the Schuylkill Navigation had increased. We
suspected at the time that the assertion had little
of data to support it, and we now believe it to be
altogether erroneous. ,
kgeritleman connected with the principal trans.
inflation house at this place assures us, that the
amount of trade received at ; this end, of the Übe
is not half as great as it was previous to the,en. :
•Isrgement.of the Navigation. A gentleman en.
gaged : at the same business at Philadelphia declares
li'decrease of the business at that point; and we
aresieformed, upon good authority, that the way
buainsit at Reading is, also less than it was-pre
viously-to the enlargement. If, then, the business
has fallen os. at these three points, we cannot see
`how this increase of the way -trade is ascertained .
or accounted fur. The litho-business
,has, no
dribbt..been unusually brisk the
_present season—
but in all other branches of the way-trade, we are
confident that there has been an obviou s c li mun i.
lion. , , '
It,hu been stated that the Rail. Road Company
have also drawn distinctions on their ,line of im
provement. It is true that they charg(propor.
•
Clonally) higher rates , for short distances :—but
These rates are not as high as those of the Canal,
'nor are they assessed in the same manner as the
latter—viz. an it:cumbrance of both rates, which
becomes a metter of negotiation between the shipper
awl boat-owper, on every cargo of coal sent, as
to which party altalfipay them.
To shoinibat what we state I. correct, we give

The Canal passes *through Norriitrn acid
?lamp:ink, and absolutely poses the doors of the
principal Factoriei in which coal is consumed,
yet nearly all the coal is conveyed on the Rail
Rbad, on the opposite side of the Schuylkill, and
carted over the bridges to the Factories at Oise
cost
. than they would be compelled to paY.by Ca
nal to have it landed on'their wharves, almost at
their doors. .
Any pelson acquainted with the Coal Trade
knolo that the alifferance in these rates absorbs
all the profits on Coal, and is sufficient to exclude
the whole trade at these points from - the Canal.—
And to r any Board of Managers, hsvingi know
ledge of the business,they bare untlertaken,"can
persist in continuing such regulations, and forcing
the trade off their improvement ou to a rival, is •
problem, which we cannot solve. It is to be hop
ed, howevei t that theyein • give a satisfactory an
swer to the stockholders for their conduct.
.3 The Rail - Road Company allows a drawback of 20
per cent: from the rates upon all coal carried to NeW
York, Wilmington. where Schuylkill Canal boats
can run with safety. They also allow' 121 cents per
ton, for dumpagee on all. coal that has to be unloaded
on their wharves at Richmond.

DEATH OF JOSEPH NEAL. Esu.—The
Philadelphia papers of Monday, conveyed the
melancholy intelligence of the deathof this amia
ble and accomplished man. Mr. Neal had, some
years ago, resided in this place. Though his so.
journ here was brief, and he unknoirn.aa a writer
it that day—his benevolent qualities of heart
= his correct and unobtrusive deportment
hie; mild and cheerful temper—made many a
tailing friend, upon whom the intelligence of his
death' will fall with melancholy force.
Mr. Neal, in 1831, took up a - permanent resi
dence in Philadelphia. He became allied with
the .Penmylvanian • newspaper, and 'discharged
the arduous and peculiar duties of editor with an
ability that gaviithat journal prominence among
the newspapers:of the day. Though his time was
almost .exclusively devoted to the political move•
merits of the day—and at that tiMe.they were:par
ticularly imporiant in our State- 7 41nd loth° ins
mediate affairs of the newspaper, his, pen struck
a vein in the literature of our country; which was
Destined ,to place his name i n contradistitictitn,
with those duties. Hie well-known Charcoal
Sketches opened afield fur his lively humor / and
gave at once popularity to his name, es , well as to
the Magazines in whichdhey anpeared:
Havi4 retired from the Pennsylvanian sa fees
years. since, he;in connection with several person.
al friends, established Neale Sulurday Gazelle
—sad with half the parade that newspapers con
ducted on similar grounds usually make, it found
its way to popular support in a very short tune.=
It is now said to yield a very handsome profit.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. .OF
COAL.—Ous tenders Will recollect that, s _few
years ago. we oxide some remarks with regard to,
the liability of epontaneohs .combustion of the
Bituminous Coals used on board steamers—the
correctiess of which was. positively denied in a
cank by Captain Hoskins, of the Great Western
—but the truth of which has sines heenestabliah•
ed beyond' cavil or doubt. When our Goverh
' meat commenced building steam vessels we again
called attention to the fact, and !molested that our
National steamers ought to be constructed for the
use of Anthracite Coal instead of the Bituminiius
—the former of which.being More cleanly,—taltes :
up less room, and never ignites by, epontancoits
combustion: The great rialtos goverhment his
incurred by disregarding these suggestions his-.'re
cently‘ been made manifest. The coal in
-the.
.viaist-hutikers,,of the United States Flag Ship 'Nis
sirsirpii ignited by spontaneous combustion on
the 3d of July, instant, and the officers and crew,
including Commodore Perry, were only enabled
to subdue the fire by its timely-discovery. and by .
removing it abbut and keeping-a constant watch
over it. To do this required mucli severe labor and'
anxiety—and had it not been for the coirect'dis
cipline of the crew, and the precision and skill
with which they executed every command, the
entire vessel and ha contents would inevitably
have been destroyed. The vessel contained a
large cargo of
r powderAnd the materials for
an awful catastrophe,il the fire bad been allowed
to proceed much further. As it was„ no material
loss was sustained , except slight injury to the
vessel.

A sunnuturg FOR OIL IN MACIII
NERY.—Experiments are being tried upon the .
it
Nei! Jersey railroa to lest the Merits of a substi, 7
.
tote for oil on the a les of the - cars. The substi
tute is cold *miff. . It is applied to the axletree
by means of,' small wheel, armed 'with buckets,
and enclosed within the Fox that Confines the end
of the axle and contains the Water. Its opera
tion is similar to that of the trough of water under
the grindstone: and the greater the velocity of the
wheel, so much the more completely is the end
of the axle buried in. water. The New /York
Pest says'..---
"After running the car to which it is applied, l 5 Stiles
for instance, at the high speed of a swift train, we
found the is Ater in the box as cold as when It was put
there:The end of the axle was without any perceptible
degree of heat, and. tlie'water Mid no more discoloni
lion Than might have been caused by. the dust in the
box. - Fifteen miles, run as high speed, was sufficient to
test the experiment, and such' Were the results., The
principle upon which ttie'patentee bases this applica
tion of cold water is, that the heat'or electric influences
formed at the extremities of the axle are: dissipated or
conveyed away by the water, just as the atmosphere
and the rain convey the electricity of the heavens to
the earth. In an economical point of ITO, the cut
cessful application" of water to ,machiciery as a sub
stitute for oil will save to the )3tate*.,;/ew: t i 7Ork

REDUCTION OF COUNTY TAXES— , .
IMPORTANT CHANGES.—The management
of our county affairs during the hest two years,
exhibits er very gratifying result.' 'The Commis
sioners,' during this period haverbeen enabled to
liquidate:Upwards of $25,000:0f the county debt;
have enlarged the C'ourt House at an expense of
nearly $4,000; bualt onuitiber of substantial and
elegant bridges at a heavy expense—(the' con
struction of which had 'previously been - deferred,
from time lo time, from . the want of adequate .
means—) and have reduced the taxes of tare cur.
rent year from five to three mills upon theedolltir
ivrhichis'the same as the State tax,---but when
it is considered that the State taxes many articles
whiCh are exempt from county leviei, the county
tax is absolutely lower than that of the State !
Thii gratifying result m' be attributed, in prier;
to this 'fact, that ,the Board sf, ()aunty Corilmis

ARRESTED AT LAST,—Ths notorious
Jack Stay:pant of Philadelphia, the chief of s
gang of midnight robbers and •butglus•who
in
fested that city all last, winter. defying ' the 'lynx
eyed" vigilance of the Police—has at last been ar
rested, and committed for trial. This lithe same
fellow, it is believed, who recently robbed the of
fice of Mr. T. Winterstein- of Port Carbon, of
some five or six hundvd dollars. His real name
is James 'Hughes:-
A REAL G'H AL.—On Tdtiesdey of lilt
week, a " lady" took up. "lodgings" at the
change—room 62. ,She said she had been recom
mended to stop air the Exchange—understocid;
thatjhe proprietor feu an admirable man and was
of the old stock of harts, lc; : rind she had just
arrived from Schuylkill II aven by the "first train ;"
had preceded. her hinsband, who 6rair yet in Phila

on the nest day. IHer .appearaico was rith'er
outre—lied, no baggage or " &nos," and
look as though she were equeen travelling in
cog. She remaioel,until the nextlday,Thursday,
when our host quietly observed that it was a fine
day—a very fine day—very good for !ravelling,
and advised her to embrace it ere the rainy season
should set in. She remained to her comfortable
quarters, wondering why he didn't come," until
noon, and, suddenly remembering here4l; found
. that it'll this time she had'neglected to go a•quip
ping. She repaired to the street immediately—
" less than no time," was in the splendid
jewelery establishment of Messrs Brad' of Elliot,
in Centre street. Sue observed to these gentlemen'
that-ber husband not having - arrived, eireeably to
sppointm lr iet,- she resolved to fill up her time in
shopping—that tbyj had a "splendid rersoriment,
&c. 1," ant! requested 'leave to make ocular exami
nation of sundry articles. She commenced pur
chasing &it, a splendid gold ;inch, do. chain ;
gold peneils; ear rings; breast pir l s ; finger iings;
lockets, 4c.1 She kept the polite proprietors and
their. aseinents busily engaged for five hours—
never

sing—but keeping en eye on the bill, rhiih bid
now risen to the 'neg little sum of $360. The
fair purchaser requested the goods to be packed up,
Ind taking them.in ;her band and requesting the
the bill to be forwarded tei the hotel, she was about
departing. Messrs. &E. looked around;, and
with the blendest.snide in the world, one of them
assured the lady that his feelings were "aide' (sector
old friend, Rice, pronounces' it,) "that he could'not,
for one moment, allow her to, carry the package !
By no means. He 'would despatch a trusty Iser
rant—and, making out," catalogue 'of the articles,
the bill would, 'doubtless, bo: more. satisfactory if
it acconsidnird them!" • '
The lady left the stpre—le'sving th i e package on
'the counter. Her corifideirce in : Major Leasig
(" may his shadow neler grOw less." as.'tia,iraid,)
had been impaired, and, she resolved to change her
quarters.. Struck with the commanding appear.

at once ordered ~suite of rooms, and the et ale

Proceeding up Market street, she entered the stare
of Robert Turner, l end in a my : abort time, pur
chased e bill of silky, balzorines; capes, &c. - , of one

usual, and requested...the bill to be sent round."
But, it appeared, this was not quite satisfactory 'to
the merchant. Hie notions of female delicacy
could not be reconciled to allow her to'carry 'the
bundle. BY no manner of means." 'He would
send his Bill ,with the bundle."
To be brief : she was again foiled..„
In a day or two the retired in profound disgust
from the Hall, Mr. Weiver, no doubt, eonsi l dering
her room better than 'her presence. By some un
accountable oversight, @be had forgotten to Pay her

A HUMBUG EXPLODED !—The project of
raising Capt. Kidd's. vessel at Caldwell'i Landing,
on the Hodson, and obtaining vast treasures—a
project in which a large amount [of money was
embarked by credulous men, has proved to be what
many suspected, en egregious humbug, origina
ting in fraud. Ii is now known that a gun which had
been taken frorri the wreck, pieces of gold, coins,
&c. were deposited there a few day. previous, that'
this discovery might cheer the hearts of the stock
' holders, and induce others to purchase shares!

by Mons. Vattemaire, (says somebody—we can't

the libraries of the nobility and dilklanti of Great
Britain and Europe; where only they were to be
found, and from which money4could not have
purchased them. The money value of the lot is
estimated er about $BO,OOO. He will, of course,

Dr. Swages may certify that eleven yearsago

of, until the year 1839, '4O, whcftt I was obliged to leave
my native New. England; for a milder clime, which had ,
the effect to miiigate my sufferings for three or four
years, after which the `disease increased until last win
ter. My sufferings were intense, almost beyond endu
rance, being obliged to sit up night after night, from in
ability to sleep in bed.,
Last fall I felt the symptoms earlier than usual in the
season, but bearing that Dr._SzciiPne's Compound Syrup
of /Vitd Cherry was a soveretgft remedy for diseases of
the Lungs, I immediately commenced its use, and the
result was almost immediate Jailer. For the last six
weeks I have not felt the least symptoms of the Asthma,
and feel confident that I am well of it, and that I have
been cured by the above-named medicine. •
