Farquhar Esq., of Philadelphia, has sent us a copy of the sixteenth annual report of the Gas Works in that city, from which we learn that the quantity of gas manufac tured during the past year } ; is 182,016,000 cubic feet, making the entire production, since theestablishruent of the works, 997,- 859,000 feet. An extension of the works is now under contemplation on account of the increased consumption of Gas. The price was originally $3;50 per thousand feet, it has been gradually reduced,. until it is now furnished at 52,25. with five 'per. cent. dis count for payment within five .days, and on Thursday last, an ordinance passed the City Councils to reddce the price still farther to $2,00 per thousand feet. We pay $5,0 here. REPLECTXOEIB, UPON A ?WELL-KNOWN SUBJECT Last week we presented some facts, show ing the prevalence of Intemperance in Schuyl kill county—that of 286 paupers admitted into the Alms House last year, 154 were beggared by Rum, of - which number 65 were from Pottsville ; and that of 230 int - Antes now remaining. - Intemperance furnished 113, of whom 46_belong to Pottsville. Vie now propose to suggest a few reflections upon the effects naturally : , produced by the prevalence of this evil in any community. In _thefirst place, it imposes a heasiy tax, whose reciprocal effect is of little or no ad vantage tio the people at large. The building and supPoft of an Alms House and Jail, with the necessary expenses attendant upon `the maintenance of a' Police force and other officers, for the preservation. of peace and order, and the expenses of conducting trials! for their • infringement- these, with many other items, caused mainly by the traffic and use of liquors,.. swell up the original outlay indispensable in the financial management of a community, and greatly increase the taxes I of its inhabitants. Nor is this all. Taxes' upon other descriptions'of property, and (Or other purposes, f increale teak in proportion' as the original property increases irvvalue, or the benefits to be derived are proportionate to the investment: ` :The man who is taxed, for the support of Schools, is repaid tenfold the amount in the-moral and mental train ing of his children. He pays taxes for his property according to its actual value—ac cording to its proportionate worth to him.— But not, so with the taxes Rum imposes ; there is no reciprocal- Worth ; no re-payment of investment in them. But the sober and temperate—and these are taxed most, because they' constitute the wealthier portion of a community—are called on to contribute in directly to the support of the very vice against which they are laboring, and which they are &ling all in their power to suppress. They derive no benefits from it, They - enjoy none of the pleasures. if there be any, of dissipa tion and debauCh ; they drown no sorrows in the deceptive cup ; and yet they are taxed to support-that which confers upon them no good—in which they have no interest, and the more prevalent the evil, the heajier the taxes. So much fur the pecuniary expenses of Rum; drinking. II the same amount of money were expended in some other enterprise, or contributed to some other benevolent purpose, bow much better the investment, or what a vast imonnt . of good might be effected by it! The support of paUper-drunkards is a com mendable charity, we admit. So long as the Ruai-traffic is licensed, it will yearly make its scores of poor, helpless victims. Thole mast be cared for by somebody, and the be nevolence that provides a home for the friend less, and feeds and clothes him, is suggested by the ordinary dictates of humanity. But the question naturally comes up, why license and thus create the oee . essity for this charity? Or, if paUper-drunkards must be made, and must be taken care of, why not render the grog-sellers, who derive the only advantage from them, namely, that of getting their money—why not make the grog-sellers re sponsible for the support of their victims? The question is neither singular nor new— the laws of one of our Western States im pose just such a condition upon the traffic. They are the only persons interested 'in ma king deunkards; they alone are benefuted, and therefore it is, but _fair they should be taxed most heavily, in support of the ob ' jects of charity they thuicast out upon the community. Next,come the effects of Intemperance on the.mind and heart. It dulls the mental faculties, and in time almost completely ob - literates the poWei of thought. It enervates the whole man, relaxes his enterFise, and renders lum e useless - ants hurden, alike to himself,. his friends, and the communitY. Those who have 'ititahied to any 'degree of eminence in this country; or, indeed, M any 'other, have invariably been men, who not only•enjoirted Temperance as a cardinal vir tue, but practiced it every day of their lives. The truly' 'treat men,. wtio have filled the most honorable .places in the history of the world. have been remarkable for their prac tical good morals, not forgetting Sobriiey and Temperance in .every position of life. Dissi pation or extravagant living of any kindisl by no means the friend' of Letters. Authdrs should be temperate men, both for the Sake of producing their best eflarts t and also to practice what they preach, for every" writer, to be popular,.must assumes virtue, whether he have it Or no. Our "greatest literary and scientific men are examples in point. But it is upon the morals of its' victims that the habit of Intemperance: tells' most fearfully. Aside 'from the fact that those, who drink acid are accustomed to frequent groggeries and ale.shops•to indulge their ap- I petite, are often thrown into the Worst and most corrupt society, and sometimes conde-; °Read in the bacchanalian democracy of their midnight reiels'to make table, it sot-bosom companions of such company as they would be ashained to recognise in the streets—aside from this, dissipation paralizes and fora time destrOYs the finer sensibilities of the human heart, while it dives free rein to the worst and vilest passions. Virtuejonor, self-re spect, and all the better part§ of man's na , lure, are overruled, and a recklesS hardihood, a quarrelsome spint, an absence of all shame, a perfect indiffereuce to the voice of con science, are substituted, and the baser pas sions suffered their full demoniacal sway. /n vine veritas. The evil propensities of a naturally bad heart are left to develope them selves unguarued to their full extent. The man degenerates into the brute—the animal predominates. We saw t .a young man reel ing from intoxication in the street, but a few days.aga, daylight. His self-respect was losi-J , . - Vs pride was gone. In the Sober moments of reflection it would have rebelled at the very thought of such an exposure. Bu; he was callous to shame, and indiffer ent alike to the opinion of friends and stran gers ; and when once au individual has lost respect for himself ; and his regard for the opinion of others, alas ! there are but few virtues of character left to check him iii his• downward career. Such must necessarily he the effect of dissipation upon all those who are unfortunately seduced by its decep tive allurements. Every young mina especi ally, should be careful to avoid its tempta tions. Nothing will sooner or so much lessen him in the estimation of the better portion of the community as dissipated habits. A young man of Temperance principles can secure a situation in business, and succeed in gaining the confidence of his employ„ers,when another of. different habits would be rejected as un worthy such a place. No better recommen dation can be given. A community, in which dissipation and debauch are prevalent, must necessarily ex hibit their effects,more or less,in the corrupt morals and lack of enterprise among its in habitants. No people can keg encourage and indulge in the free use of Alcoholic drinks with, ut the effects becoming mani festly visible in their mental attainments—in their business capacities, and in the respect they entertain toward the ordinances of law anereligion. Of the wealthiest and most prosperous citizens of a community, Tem perance is always found foremost in the ex cellencies of character that have entitled them to general respect. On the contrary, the worst vices and the most depraved habits are usually accompanied by Intemperance. Such are the suggestions naturally brought up by our subject—let each one apply them for himself. 01 00 I2i .3 00 5 00 8 00 3 00 ESTIMATE OF CHARACTER Different ages, as well as different com muniues and different individuals. haie each always had their peculiar standard, for the measurement of mankind. In the days of the military, glory of the far-famed Greece, men's worth was estimated by the valor they displayed in the field of battle. So also 'in the time of Roman renown. The surviving warrior of the Horatii had won enough glory, in slaying his countq'sfoes, to sheath his victorious sword, with impunity, in a weeping sister's breast. Hence the word villas, which in the Latin is rendered bra very, is now equivalent to the English virtue, or highest moral excellence. In Sparta, where the art of war was carried to great perfection. theft, lying, and deception were at one time highly commendable, and en couraged as indispensable to the perfection of war-making. The youth, who denied the stolen wolf, hid beneath the folds of his cloak, until the concealed animal :tad !unw ed out his iitals, was held in honorable dis tinction above his fellows, and his death re garded as the most triumphant feat of p. Spartan education- I -he was a perfect thief. The Indian, from whose belt hang the bleed ing scalps of his fallen foes, torn indiscrimin ately from the heads of unoffending men and helpless women and still more =helpless children, is an object of more veneration among his savage companions, than 'could be the most enlightened specimen of the civ ilised world. So the Heathen, who smiling I casts himself beneath the blood stained wheels of the Jugernautish car—his spirit is waf ted upward in its' aerial flight, by the shouts of his admiring , fellows. Many matrons envy the place of the.devoted Hindoo widow upon the blazing funeral-pile of her dead husband. The sacrifice is considered hon orable alike to the living and the dead. Absurd and 'ridiculous as these ancient customs appear, they are scarcely More so than some peculiarities of the present age— they are but types of men and women in the it respective places - now-a!days. Each man, as he plays his part upon the great stage of human action, becomes one of the wide world's audience, watching and criti cising the performance of his neighbor.— The ambitious struggle for_ national great ness, and the desire of national celebrity frequently lead its aspirants into singular, if not ridiculous conclusions—each losing sight of all otheri in the magnified importance of his own imagined superiority. The different professions and trades come in for their share: of of this peculiarity. Each individual respects his own more than that of any other, and proportionally undervalues all the rest. So with States and communities. The inter ests of the one are often paramount to those of all the others, while they in turn are equal ly undervalued and perhaps despised. How insignificant, and in the abstract, bow absurd the “one idea" of the fanatic, or how hereti cal the doctrines of one creed, when advoca-' ted Within ' the province of another of dif ferent faith and different feelings. Or, to fe -1 dace the theory from nations and communi ties `to individuals, —a' title—wealth—an affair of honor," impious infidelity,. and even the licentiousness of the libertine have each its peculiar kind of reputation.' Thus through the whole , catalogue of nations, grades of society • and individuals, each has his owri favoritesphere of action,.based upon _the arbitrary principles of the author's con iracted feelings and prejudices, and his own method of measuring men and thingsArqiigh the microscopic.vision of his own ideas of mamas and iiriportance • THE.MINFRSJouA4 I ANIJ PQ I ESV I:J.

THE COAL TRADE FOR 1130:1.- ~_ - iii The quantity of Coal sent to market this week by Railroad is 19,11210-20 tons, against 23,30218-40 ions last week, snow ing a decrease of 4,1908-20 tons.— The whole quantity sent to market per Railroad since the tat of December last, (at which time the cur rent year of the Railroad cocanences,) Is 390.507 IS-20 tons, being an excess of 174,879 r tons orer la, , t year to same period. Since our list report, the Reading Railroad Compa ny have geed their charges for toll and transportation. The rate Axed upon. for the present. Is $1.60 per ton, from Mount Carbon to Richmond; It Is hardly necessa ry for WI to say, that ibis decision narks with the un qualified disapprobation of the entire Schuylkill Coal trade, and we have no hesitation In saying, that ratti= er than submit to such charges, the Coillers.oe this county, will pretty generally cease to send Coal to market by said Rnail. They have been led to believe (through the representations oftheir officers and Agents) thatiktuch a reduction Would be made, as would enaliklhem to make some shoW of compking. for the trsde,with their rivals, the Lehiglfaed Lucke- . wanna; but nailer the present larifforcliarge_s, there Is no Chant , left!' We most either tamely submit to such a rectiricnce of things as existed last year. pe ewee to the Freshet, or boldly and fearlessly resist this nppressive and ruinous policy. The Canal Com pany is prepaked to carry in 1851. 800,600 tons. This added to the:quantity already sent by Railroad (400,- 00n inns) wit make nearly as much, as we can rea sonably expert to fall to our snare, if the present charge.' of the road are adhered to; it willtherefore be the interest of the trade, to do what they can pregtably by the Canal and give up sending by, Railroad alto gether. IT the Railroad Company had, reduced their charges to per ton. (which price; they have re. peatedly asserted. if they could procure 1.500,000 ton s to transport, would enable them to pay an interest of 6 per cent on titer entire investment) then the Schuyl kill trade mld : lave boldly taken the trod, In the buil nest. and fotied the Lehigh and Lackawanna to take the leavings.' We have repeatedly asserted, and there is no Anal of the fact, that, had It not been for the Freshet of last year, the Colliers of this County would have been. with few exceptions, totally ruined. The Providential interposition of a flood, saved them last year, let their own manly, good sense protect them this, and let their actidit too, he prompt and decisive, no half way Measures will answer in a crisis like the present, we know that at the same prices last year, our Colliers would all have been ruined—has there been such changes In the coat of production this year, as to alter the result, at the lime selling prices, There has est. Therefore we would advise all .our friends who have any regard fon hetr creditor their creditors to send no Cdat to market over the Reading Railroad, as long as such business isdone at a loss, which it in evitably must be at the present high sates of charge.— The Sebuy 'kill Canal will be open for the passage of loaded boats,`- somewhere about the first ptomain It Is represented that r.spty boats will be enabled to pane through the Dine Mountain Locks, the coming week.

Judge Kidder, delivered at Orwrgshurg, Thursday March 20th. , IClawriN,PEirsa :—You have been convic ted of the wilful and deliberate Murder of your wife, 'under circumstances so atrocious, as to have not a single palliating 'excuse. The annals of crime, so fruitful in the exhi bition of human depravity, will fail to ex hibit a deed, more black and - unnatural than that of which you are found Guilty. The wife' f your biisom was your victim !i • Her to whom you had plighted your faith, and vowed before God to love and cherish ! She ' was the Mother of your children, -and one _ whom you were bound, by every sanction of duty, to protect and defend. The awful scene that transpired, when you perpetrated the act, is veiled 'from our sight. No eve witnessed it, hut the All-seeing eye of Oin nipotence. It is true, your innocent children were present—one an infant, and the Other too young to realize the horrible scencettiac ted. But sufficient has been disclosed, to enable us, in imagination, to view this awful tragedy. You returned home about Mid day, and sour work was soon accomplished. _ You found your victim, although suffering from disease, preparing your dinner. With , out any known provocation, you seized hei in your murderous grasp—a brief struggle ensued, when you drove the fatal weapon to her heart ! supplication could - divert your cruel purpose—no pity moved you. You made haste to send her' soul, unpre pared, into the immediate presence of Him who gave it.. Your next .thought was to es cape, -and soon after we find you a distance of two miles, on your way to parts unknown. The hurry of your flight left the:means of your detection easy. The cries of your chil dren, and the blood trickling from your door, attracted attention; and you-had hardly fled from the]sight of your dwelling, when the murder was discovered . ; The pool of blood upon the 'floor—the situation of the lifeless body—the, bloody knife upon- the table, and your hash; flight, all pointed to . you as the murderer.; You eluded pursuit for nearly three weeks, when we again find you, ma king your way back to the scene .of your crime. Where you had been, we are unable to trace, but from your haggard appearance, your refuge could not have been in the habi tation of man. Your tittle was probably spent in the depths of solitude, where the eve of Omnipotence alone, looked down upon, you, and harrowed up your guilty conscience to your inmost soul ! You returned, how ever, nol as a penitetit, confessing your crime, but with an artfril tale, invented for the occasion, the absurdity of which-is self evident. You admit you caused her death, but attribute it'to accident. This, however, is contradicted by every fact and circumstance in the-case. We have granted you every indulgence during your trial, which enlightened htt. inanity and the due administration of jus tice would perthit. Able counsel were as signed you by the Coin, and a most impar tial Jury of your own selection, patiently heard the evidence, and • weighed every.cir cnmstance in your favor. All that profes sional skill could suggest was urged in your behalf, and the zeal, and ability of your court- , sel reflect upon them the highest honor.— Their efforts were dictated by that disinter ested humanity which is a marked charac teristkc of the prolession—their labors in your cause were entirely gratuitous. In their anxiety to save you they interposed the plea of insanity, and you have had the ben -efit of a full investigation of the state of your mind, as , connected with Moral and le gal responsibility. This has resulted in es tablishing a firm belief that you ale not only sane, but that you, wilfully and deliberately, , gook the life of your wife. „ Vour'crime, Martin Peifer,-is a greatiatie,l land your career is drawing rapidly to Arise. The blood of your unhappy wife, , Arieth to Heaven from the ground." No human aid can save you from the penalty of violated law, and we warn you to indulge no hopes of Executive clemency. Your case presents not a single feature, for its e*- ereise. Rather .look to that Godsyou have so often contemned, and to the consolations of that religion you have so blasphemously reviled. It now only remains for us to pass upon you the dread sentence of the law, which is I that von be taken-hence to the Jail of Schuyl kill county and thence to ihe proper place of execution, within the walls or yard of said Jail, on such day as the Governor of this Commonwealth shall appoint. and that you he there hanged by the neck until . .you are dead, and „may God have mercy:upon your' soul.

NAVIGA.TIOIi & ' ~ The Annual Report on the Commerce arid Navigation of tile United States, by Secretary Corwin, presents some very interesting infor mation relative to the rapid incredSe of our internal commerce especially. In 1815 the tonnage of foreign shipping - was 854,254 tons; of inland' navigation tonnage, 513,813 tons. In 1850 the foreign tonnage had arisen to 1,585,711 tons, and the inland tonnage to 1,949,743. In 1715 the foreign tonnage exceeded the inland 60 per cent. - Now, the inland exceeds the foreign 25 per cent. ! The "registered tonnage" has increased 700,000 tons; but the "enrolled and licensed ton nage :: has increased 1;400,000 tons. .The whole increase from 1820 'to 1850 (a period of thirty, years,) is 175 percent. Now the , growth of population in that period is .130 per cent., proving the growth of commerce I and navigation to be faster that" that of the people ! Among the most obvious causes of this fact is the introduction of steamttaviga tiOn on the western, rivers !
