We learn that Charles Elk!, Jr. resigned the Presidency of this Company on Tuesday hist, and that Ch:irles S. Wood, Esq. wax appointed in his stead, to .sece until the election in January next. The resignation bf Mr. Eller, we need scarcely say, Was hailed with mut h satisfaction by thehurd nese-men of this region ;—fur although be is an excellent enginc'er, anti enjoys talent of lIIC3II order, his course, as connected with the manage- Mem of the Navigation, was t Wire ly Ito mental; and founded more upon 'views of abstrect theory than upon sober end substantial hu=i nesa principles. InStead of endeavoring to . con. • thoseeggritved, in; attention was to their complaints, anddespito the remonstiances of • those immediately interested in the trade; as well - I . as the Natigation itself, n coarse of policy was pertinaCiously pursued, until nearly the 'whole trade of the sea-on had been driven upon a rival 'work. Aware of the evils' each_ a policy w s calculated to bring aliout; we fat it our duty to re: monstrAte, h clt we did from time to time, with ;the kiw.leA wishee for thesuice,s of the CUtfipa- ny, as well as' the edvantagii - of our trade. , The sequal,:as fount iu Mr. Una's rt fully demonstrates how far our "Aatement.;" con cern:o4 the :Navigation were correct, while it will also serve to show, we trust, how 'far ouropposi 'tion to'the management was brought about. by feelings ;of hostility. to the Company ? ' But the resignation has occured-at a favorable thee. And. in the beliefthat a more and dominating, policy . will be pursued by the manage • rnient in the future, we arc confident that ail hos ?' linty to the Ceinpany has ceased: . Our pontion with the trade in this region 'en ables us fully to understand its Wants, and as this the proper time at which the management eatould •• mature their plans foi next year's trade, it may not perhaps, be considered out of place to throw 'Gut a few suggestions for their consideration. In the firev place, more boats are necessary, and .fOr tho. Purpose of enruring a full supply of these, • the management would no doubt find it expedient to allow aTdraWhaat of about 15 cents for tree year, upon all boats built in 1818 ; two years for all built in 1819, and one yearl'm:all 1,850. This course should be adopted immediately, so . that the bout•builders,along the lino could. go to work at once, and have theni completed and ready for business early in the spring. We believe it would also induce a number of our operators to build boats: • For the pnrp9se (if-Attracting trade upon their line, the management would find it expedient, we think, to regulate the scale of t( Ds in favor of the early season: ‘ Thus : a scale like the following might:: prove beneficial Forty cents per tun to the fir : st of June; 50cts. to the let of August; end 60 cts. for the balance of the season. The trade once on the line, of course it is more likely to remain on. The r,,tes of Toll for next' year ought to be promulgated as early' as possible. as - from the latter end of December our dealers begin 'to make their arrangeturtts for the next Icat's.bu . siness; and unless they know with some certainty what is to be expected from the canal . • for the whole of the season, they will not venture . to change their present avenue to the markt t. To wait, therefore, until 'after the election of mana gers in January next, would he the means of loos- Mg a large portion of next year's trade.. Alarge additional supply of rail.road . carswill have to be built for" next year's trade. These of course must be chlOructed by .he Company. To.secure their portiOn of, the way-trade, they must at once give the same fatillties as the Rail road. In the course of competit;on with a powerful 'rival, circumstances might require a slight reduc- Nion in the toll fora part .of the season—hut undeL.no 'circ.umstances, should the rates he in creased during .the purbuing such a course, conCdence can and will l.ere•estahlished in the Company; which tit thcm a inatt'cr of the utmost importance, ever; if it •docs,rucinire msacri= use in se er•tablishing it.

The different plans of ptlson-architecture, should be enquired into, and front the number a selection made Suitable - to our wants and the enlightened spirit of the age). Our incrtFssing business and population, and the large number of prisoners now maintained at the expense of the county, suggest an edifice of proportionate dimen sions. The present Jail at Orwigsburg is too small, and the Sheriff is obliged to throw the prisomws pro miscuously together, without regard to age, color or condition. They thus imbibe the worst habits of idle ness, and instead of leaving theirconfinement physically and morally improved, the cry reverse is the case.— The new prison, therefore, whatever style may be adopted, should he constructed with the view, at least, of avoiding this evil. A building of sufficient capacity to remedy the evils of idle association, anti constructed on the usual plan. could be erected at a coat Or from twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars—constructed on the modern or Penitentiary plan, the cost would be from forty to fifty thousand dollars. By the former plan, the prisoners are maintained in idlenesii at the expense of the county, and those convic • ted of high crimes are maintained in the Eastern Peni tentiary. The expense .of maintaining the convicts of our county last year, (including those sentenced to the Penitentiarli was over eighteen hundred dollars. Al lowing a propertionate Increase of crime Wiih the in crease of population, this expense would be swelled to at least twerthousand donator annually a year or two hence, aiu'l in five years, would without doubt reach $2,500 per annum. . fly the Penitentiary' system, the prisoners are retained itt,the dinty prison, and are compelled to stork. The expense of maintaining Nem is . thus saved, while the product of their Inii.ds frequently 'yields a revenue over the whole expenses of-the prison. The health of .the prisoltet is monnit . ed, and habits of and virtue instilled kn . ° them. Theyleave the prison imprured in every respect, and intend of retiring to the communi ty hardened in vice, as is frequently the case under 00'- 4 systent4 r.f discipline, they have the sober discretion to avoid it altogether, and the disposition to settle down in habits of honesi - industry. . • While by the foimer plan, the county would still be sub Oct to the expense of maintaining her convicts, M I . ile'could be effected in the amelioration of the condi tion of the prisoners, and consequently crime would Continually increase. On the latter plan, the prisoners could °Ube put at work, and the whsle expense ()retain ,taining them could be saved—besides a revenue, which n'ot .unfreqfiently rr-Bllftli over the entire expenses of the prison, when properly managed This annual saving (say :r2400) would pay the interest on , the cost of the building, say about $13,000, while a decrease of crime would he more likely to.follow. • Between tbe'two systems, the penile _should now de cide which is best calculated to subserce the ends of justice, and their own interests. In all the counties where flew prisons have lately been ercrtej, (and inhere the extent of crime was sufficient to warrant it,) the penitentiary, or labor plan has been adopted. Prisons on this plan have been erected In the counties of Chester, Dauphin, Franklin, drc.,,and there Is one in Berlin, now nearly completed, which is an im proverhent over all the others. This Prison is 177 feet front and-300feet deep, and is to be finished figreeably In contract; for V. 15,00 0: There is. however, Upwards of 810,000 of ornamental Work upon it„ which could have . been dispensed with altogether. if dosirabk!. ery cell is thoroughly ventilated. It is supplied Stith improved cooking and iceating apparatuses, bath lion; &c., and every ronvenlence calculatekto promote the health, and add to the correct mental,and physical deportment of the prisoners—all'of which are included isri the contract for the building. The workshops ore conveniently arrane . ed, and every facility introduced for the constant employment of the inmates. - K building of this kind, located at the font of Sharp Mountain, where stone are ,abundant and accessible, could be erected at a very moderate cost. Our object, however, in alluding to the subject, was merely to in- vite the attention of the people to it, that the Commis sioners, when called to act upon the matter, may dl so unthiretandingly. A BEAU 11t w. ENGINE One of the finest specimens of machinery we have lately seen is a steam . engine,, now nearly coinplete, which has been manufactured A the Foundry and Ma chine-Shop of Mr. E. W. McGinnes, In this Borough. It is intended for the Furnace of ]lard Patterson, Esq., near St. Clair, and is constructed with the view orhav ing the boilers healed rum] the stack of the furnace o ' ‘',.er which they will be placed—thus effecting a great saving of the fuel. Some alterations in the arrange— ment of the eccentric-works have b . een introduced, which white they add much to the general beauty of the whole, allow better aceess, and will perhaps work bet i ter than under the former Man—this dilfer'ence is effect !yd simply, by placing th e wviks erre instead of tinder ! the plate work- The engine is well finished thMughout, avid every part is sYmetrically formed, and beautifully polished—thus rendering it much easier to clean, and less liable to accumulate dirt. Tt has also additional claim upon the pride - 6i the engineer, to keep it clean amt in constant order, when it can' be done \so easily and quickly. The additional expense of pelishing, &c. (which is but trifling) will, therefore, he fully justified in the advantages thus obtained. 1 The engine is of Amy-horse power, but of such sub stantial build, that Seventy-horse power could he used in case of necessity for reserve ;frength.. Mr. McGinnis has already ,reel'iVl. d M 0 tlier rulers for engines of the same kind. LATE, PROM BUENA VISTA A geteleman otqueted with General Wool's command.:tuw l) ing at Buell.

The following letter frOni an : otlicer in the expeditihn 'of Major Lally, from Verabruz to Jalapa, was received on Thursday last, by a gentleman in our Borough, and wilt be read with interest. It presents a combination of hardships, fatigues, sickness, destitution and death, rarely witnessed even In war. Jalaprt,..llczieri, September 1.5; 181:. Dear Sir—ALlast an opportunity offers itself, and avail myself ofit to give you a brief statement of the •trials and difficulties connected with the train under command of Major Lally, to wliien I was at ached. We left Vera Cruz on the 6th of August, with about' WOO troops, composed of one corps of Cavalry 2 pieces of artillery, andlthe remainder I,nfantry, and• 60 wagons. On account of heavy loads, half-broken mules, and had roads, we had made but eighteen miles on the morning of the 10th, (viz, San Juan) having lost four or five men. by small skirmishes, and on that day had an attack, het succeeded in keeping the enemy otT by the Artillery, and nothing serious happened. • But on coming to Vasa Oreja. And emerging through a thick chapPerel,the enemy made asimultaneous attack front, centre and rear, but finally_were dislodged. We lost in killea andAvounded, nine privates and ttvo officers, of the latter Captain Cummings and five of his men. On Use 12th we came in sight of that eventful place, Puerto Xacional, having had• secret small attacks on the road, but:sufficiently expressive to indicate their intentions here. As we advanced on the bridge, whiclP: is some four hundred fed long, and commanded - by high bluffs and three forts, all within musket shot, the enemy opened a, destructive fire. We endeavored to charge the bridge, and got truce companies of Infantry, two pieces of Artillery, and Capt. Busamon's company - of Horse on it, but fountin charge impossible on account of a large barricade nearly on the opposite side. There we remained, exposed to the raking fire of threp forts, and enable to reach them or charge upOn4.rliern ott Recount of the elevation of the hills.and the abruptness of the rocks. By, this time the Artillery Were aban doned, all the men, except two, having been shot. Seine of the lenses and men of the Cavalry corps had fallen, and they were obliged to fall back; 'but the Ihfantry, although the number Of their men vas greatly' still . maintaitted their, position. As well to secure the.guns as to preserve their heretofore-won laurels, parties of the then remaining Infantry volun teered to take the guns from the bridge, in which ope ration one half of them were shot. But the remainder gallantly resenting their former position on the bridge, Lieut.Waterehad thC guns then taken to an elevated place,•so that they could reach the fort on our left, and It was,not long before they silenced it, anti drove the enemy nut: , Our men on the bridge, becoming weary of their unfruitful position, (es the battle had note . raged nearly flee hours, Without a moment's intermis-, sion)and the small party nearly cut to pieces,see ng the confusion which the desertion of the left-hand fort • occasioned, immediately charged 'across the bridge and up the hill on the light side of the road, which proved etfectic , e—at least so far that we crossed the bridge sur rounding the barricade. We lost so many men, how- ever, that weeould not charge the hill, but were Font pelted to fall back, under Myer of a small stone house, and prepared for defence- 7 ms we were now entirely cut off from the rest of.our forces, and consequently the assistance the fort on the left. We drove the enemy from the one fort 'on 'the right ; then running hack to the bridge, around the barricade, and then by or der of Major Lally, and Capt. Iltiganion's support, we charged the hill on the right, and took possession of the other fort. All was now accomplished—the day was .won—but dearly Vaught was our glory! ' We lost, killed, G. P. Twiggs, aid and nephew of Cen. Twiggy; 'wounded, Capt. Clark,' Limit. Winder (now dead,) Lt. Treaner, s Lt. Waters and Lt. Adams, of Maine, "andforty-five privates. killed and wounded. Out of cur small advance of less than 200 men, you can Imagine the.icerie which so many killed and wounded afforded, and the feelings which pervaded us.• The rest ofmienteri were engaged in defending the lung train -from repeated attacks in the centre and rear. ' We lost also a large numliFr of mules and horses, so that we were compelled to burn some ten wagons, be sides baggage, 4.c., to shorten the train. We' Were out of horse feed, too, and knew not at what time we could reach Jalapa. Our men were put on half rations from this time nut, and after burying the dead, we set Out in the worst kind of spirits imaginable. We !Mil not proceeded far until we had another at tack ; but on the night of the 14th we reached Rio del Plan. Nest morning we left the train here, and advan• ced with 450 men to Cerro Gordo, as an advance, but soon found that trouble was a head. Our troops had scarcely halted in sight of the fort on the left of the road, when charge after charge , of mus ketry was received from the chapparel on the right. A number of men were sent in the woods on the left to charge what is called "Pillow's fort." >jt was situated off the road some distance, and considerable time was required to reach it. But after a bard march of some four hours, through thick chapparel, (and some miles at trail-arms on hands and knees, frequently halting to re connoitre,) we at last were able to see the fort, and the sentinel on the wall. We were as yet untlisemiered. Out soon as we advanced, ege received one of the live liest showers of bullets, backed with a gun of grape and one of cannister. The engagement was severe— but we finally overcome them. Loss Omen. At the same tittle the remainder of the forces charged on the right'of the road, and dtove and defeated the enemy with a loss of 6 men.

EFlmporlant to Me Ladies.—lt appears that a gentleman of the city of Troy has invented an article which he calls the Skin, Expander, and for which he is about tkproctire a patent. The inventor says It will ehtirelY do away with the cotton bustle. : It is said to be principally made of Iridia ru b ber, air-tight, and is capable of being inflated or contractdd at any time. If a lady should be walking and wish to ,appear larger - or smaller, the skirt is so constructed that she may enlarge or diminish her apparent size at pleasure; and yet a person may be walking with and not discover how, or by What means, her apparent size is' diminished or increased. The inventor also says that the appearance of a lady, with one of these Skirts, is much improved—the dress set ting much better , and easier ; and that it will save the labor of carrying about the streets• quite a small bale of cotton, and from eight to twelve skirts.
