UHLER t HUMES 2.3 t. The incraase in traffic in anthracite coal for the past year, has not equalled the antic ipations of those most intimately acquainted with its progress. The tonnage from the three great regions in 1851, exceeded that of the previous year, by 1;f101,051 tons': while in 1852 the increase has beedbut 545;814 tons. Atthoug this result was not anticipated, yet it is a source ofgratification to the Managers to be able to communicate to you, that the business of the year has realized a profit of 9 per cent, on the common and preferred stock es itstood at the date of the last report, alter janyment of interest upon the debt. Of the 'urn so realized, $lOO,OOO has been in vested as usual in the Sinking Funds, leav ing cash dividends of 7 per cent for the Pre ferred, and 6 per cent for the common stock, which have been duly declared. Your' at tention may be properly called to the fact that the profits on the Preferred and com mon stock have averaged, for the three last years, more than 8i per cent. The Managers, in pursuance of the direc tion contained in the Resolutions of thestock holders in 1849, have made distribution a mong the stockholders of the stock created by the formation of Sinking Funds in tire manner then authorized. This stock, so ac cruing, equals 8 per cent on thecommon,and 2 per cent on the preferred. Its !appropria tion is exhibited in the following statement,: [We omit the table.] It will be observed that, inasmuch as the distribution of stock into fractional dividends is inconvenient, It has been avoided as far as possible; and of that fund there still remains on hand, and for future distribution'to Com mon Stockholders. $41,969 14-100, and to Preferred Stockholders, $772 22-100. The Singing Fund of course continues, and the Stock arising from it will hereafter regular ly and annually be distributed. As some of the present proprietors may not be familiar with this subject, the Resolutions under which it originated are appended for refer ence. The conversion of Bonds into Stock, in ac cordance with the terms upon which they were issued, has taken place to a large a. mount, and which will presently be more pirticularly mentioned. Had not the Bond holdets availed themselves of the privilege given them, the Stock then for distribution would have equalled about 11 per cent for the Common Stockholders and 3 per cent for the Preferred. Prior to 30th November last, $443,000 of such Bonds were converted into Stock : and since that date, a further amount of $705,000 have in like manlier been surrendered and cancelled, and Stock tor that amount issued. While the augmentation in the Stock • has diminished the cash dividend fund to eacn former holder, and materially lessened (as has been just' stated) the •amount of Stock otherwise distributed to Stockholders from the Sinking Fund, by increasing the number of shares to which both were payable, yet the diminution of the debt , to the extent of 31,148,000, in one year, marks the high credit of the Company, and giyes the strong est evidence of its prosperity. The perma nent interests of all those who have made investments upon the faith'of the stabilityof the Company, is, in no way more surely promoted than by the conversion of its debt into Stock. The charge for transporting Coal has ave raged but 7 94-100 cents more than in 1851. During the largest portion of the shipping season, the rates were much higher than those of the same period in the previous year, when, as it will be recollected, great compe tition was maintained. During the last win ter, however, the charges were 20 cents per ton less than for the like period and early spring of the previous year. The present rates, which will be maintained during the winter, are 20 cents more than those of the last year: and it is estimated that na increas ed profit of at least $lOO,OOO will be thus ob tained. The cost of transportation, as compared with that of the previous year, exhibits the following results, viz:— On Coal 10-100 rents lips per ton. Merchandise, 9 62.100 do .inore per ton,- " Paviengera 1824.100 do.. more for each through paeaenger. The cost of hauling coal, including the re pairs of machinery (pet statement H,l has been diminished 318.100 cents per ton,while the expenditures on the roadway have in creased $41,563 44-100, less than 2 centslor each ton tran.ported. This has been caused chiefly by unusual expenditures on the wharv es at Richmond (included in the • Roadway Department.) for dredging the Docks, See., and for an unusually large. number of sills used, it being the eighth year since the sec ond track •was For the better accomodation of the public, the passenger trains have been run 33,672 miles, and the merchandise trains 16,867 miles more than in 1851. The Renewal fund, as stated in the last annual report, exhibited a debt balitnce of $18,71629-100, in consequence of extraor dinary expendittires from this fund, caused by the great freshet of 1850. We omit this statement, which now shows a balance at the credit of the account of $22,487 10. Since the creation of this fund, fourteen new first class locomotives;' and ,-sixty-five cars, costing together $137,799 44,havebeen procured and paid from it ; While it has been credited with 037,309 68, the proceeds of eight second and third class locoinotives sold. The original object of !Ilia fund was merely to perpetnale the property then existing,and it was not tleiignetl loithe-purpose of acquir- 1 ing more. This, the Managers do not besk tate to assure you, has been folly accom-. plished. The large number of cars by con- , slant renewals with better materials, are undoubtedly` more efficient in all respects than when the fund was established. This is shown by - the fact that in 1849, (when the fund was caeated) one ear was broken for every 2282 tons °fecal carried,' while last year, one car failed for each 3534 tons only. The slaw and gradual depreciation of the In- comotiyes has been fully compensated by the acquisition from this fund of the fourteen superior engines to which reference has been made. Hence, no charges for new machin ery have been made to this account- during the past year. The Managers recommend that provision should be made for constructing, of stone.the two long bridges over the river Schuylkill at the " Falls " and "Peacock's Locks," in lieu 'of the present wooden structures. The former is 615 and the latter 675 feet in length The estimated cost of the two is $193,602 97. FRANK POTT , 50 if As it is presumed that all the other com panies engaged in the transportation of coal will he worked to their full capacity, and as this Company will only secure machinery to supply the demand with a regular business, it is deemed judicious to protect the proprie tors against loss. by fire, of either of these important structures. Such a disaster would cause a loss of revenue to the stockholders materially greater t ban the cost of the change. When effected there would remain no struc ture which could not be replaced without se • dons interrupnon io the business. Thecost of repairing and niaintaiiiing these wooden ' bridges, as well as the heavy expense for watchmen would thus be saved. It is the 'lodgement of the Managers that, it the re newal fund is charged with an amount e. gital tolhat so annually saved, other provi sions, should be made for theltemaining out lay thus required. As these proposed chan ges mast be made without interrupting the trade, the expenditures would extend over a period of tWo or more years. •- The musk table showing the slumber of accidents, andulso the quantity, of raits REPORT tia.l6s t;e, 11 owed trom:thiluacke, islere given,tbut Weirmit it., - • The loss chile which has ensued has re. stilt¢d, in almost every instance, tram the carelessness of the unfortunate 'sufferets, chi . * trespassers on the track, inattentive, or intoxicated. , The expenence of the past' year' has but still further proved that itie upon the quali ty of the iron, rather than upon the weight of the rail, that, its durability wul - depend, . 'ln April last, the Managersdisposed of the Bonds which were authorized to be issued at your meetings in 1851 and 1852, amount-, ing to $600,000, at 80 per cent, the then market price. They were perfectly aware that this price was much below their real val ue ; but as it was well known by the propri etors'and others that this • large amount of Bonds was for sale, it had a depressing effect on the current value of all oar securities,and thustprevented a negotiation on favorable terms, The , Managers have availed themselves of the discretionary power given at your last meeting to obtain fifteen new first class lo comotives, and seventy ears. 01 the engines, seven were purchased. of Ross Winans. F.sq, of Rshimore, and eight were constructed in the Workshops of the Company, and all ate adapied for anthracite coal, which fuel is nowuSed with entire success. , - , Ati this machinery was obtained for an anticipated. increase of business, the cost, 810,933 42, is not regarded as a legitimate charge to renewal fund. The Managers, 'knowing the importance of occupying a po sition which would egalde them to accom modate all the business offered, gave the or ders'Sor these engines early in the year, but a portion of them were not delivered till No vember: \ The 'Managers have also extended their purchase otreal estate to complete the im provements alluded to in the last report, for a large and commodious passenger and mer chandisadepot ; bounded by Broad, Callpwhill, and i .- Thirteenth streets. The company now oivn nearly this enure square consisting of 261 feet on Broad street, and exteuding t s2B feet to Thirteenth street. To the resident stockholders, the value of this property, accessible by arraugementsalready communicated to you, to locomotives; will be ftilly appreciated: To others, it may be stated that the locktion is in the very heart of the City, with improvements most rapidly progressing in the immediate neighborhood and,; indeed, about to commence on the pro pertk so acquired, Had , the purchase been delayed, the cost would have been vastly augmented by the value of these projected improvements. . . They have also made additional purchases of real estate at Richmond,and a few (unim portant) at several points on the line of the Roa Since the closing Mule bociks, on Novem ber 20, 12694eetofRiver front at Richmond, adjoining the property now occupied by whaxves, has been secured. It is so evident thatthe wants of the Company will soon re, quire these facilities, that the Managers did not hesitate to obtain them., The latter pur chase has so diminished the quantity of river front at Richmond, applicable for other pur poses than thnse of the railroad (4239 lees being now owned by the Company,) that there is already a large advance in the val ue of that description of property. This augmentation of price is equally applicable to all the purchases that have been made, The Managers have not succeeded in ma king any permanent and equitable arrange merit for the use of the Mount , Carbon and Pore Carbon Railroad, under the authority given at your last u eeting. Fur the reasons thetiassigned, it is still deemed of the high estriMportance that the existing arrangement shOuld be modified ; and renewed efforts for its lease or purchase will be made, unless you authority for that purpose is withdrawn. By reference to the statement of the -Cap ital account " of the Company, it will be oh servkl that the Bonds and Mortgages on the Real Estate have been increased 3159,000, and that the expenditures fur Real Estate, Cam, Engines, Depots, exceed by 857,- 66.5 47 the amount of securities which you have authorized to be issued, and for which Prkision should be made.

They believe that the pre sent: prosperity in all branches of industry in the Couutry will cause an iucrease in thecon smaption of anthracite coal, at least equal to that of the past over the previous year. This would be 5.1.1.814 tons; and it will, without doubt, be largely augmented by the great stimulus given to the inanulaclureof iron, in consequence of the advance-in the price of that arnile, which has exceeded fifty per eent. du nag the last four months. Already many works, for a long period idle, have again commenced operation, and many new fur naces, mills, &cc. &c., have been started. From inquiries made from sources most worthy of confidence, the Managers learn thaf the increase in the quantity of anthra citacoal which can be transported by the va rions other works engaged in-that business during the coming year, cannot exceed by more than 400,000 tons that of the present year, sod should the navigation of theie ca pall be interrupted, the quantity will be di minished proporttonably,iii That the increase willOnaterially exceed dial amount they do not doubt, and it must fit:Wits market by such facilities as this Com pany can offer. The Managers, therefore, ask, hat the authority given at your last mee ting may be extended and made applicable to the coming year, to enable them properly to secure this source of profit, and meet the wants of the public. During the last month, acting upon die authority thus given, they secured the timber, on most favorable terms, for the erection of four more wharves at Rich mond, fhr which they already have numer ousiapplications. In the course of the coming year, one or mote of the lateral roads connected with this work will be extended to the second great coal-field, thus giving a direct railroad con nection, by the Philadelphia and Sunbury Road, with the rich valley'of the Susquehan na at Sunbury and Danville, where some of the;largest iron establishments in the coun try are now us full and successful operation.. The Dauphin and Susquehanna Railroad and Coal Company are also extending their road to ecinuecewith that of this Company at Au burn (ten miles below Pottsville,) and also uniting with the great Pennsylvania Road as miles above Harrisburg ; thus forming a Portion of a line to Pittsburg; Which in econ omy of time and cost, it is believed, will fully equal the existing route via the State Works. This Road also develops, the immense coal region lonising the western end of the first great coal basin, and secures to this Compa ny,ifor transportation, a variety of coal from bituminous to anthracite. The contracts are also made for the exten sion of the road of the Little Schuylkill Nav igation and Railroad Company to Taman. endi the southern terminus of the Catawis as. ;Williamsport and Erie Railway, exten ding to Catawtssa on the Susquehanna, and thence to.

The enlargement ot the Uniun Canal horn ihis place to the Sucquelianna, will enable fli:e Opeta• tors of this Region to compete with other Coe:Re gions in that marker; and with a !there! policy ot toll on the part of the Company, en amount. ot trade, largely mereared, may be expected from this place next wagon. The Canal basin here has been much enlarged and improved, and furnisher , every desirable ninth ty for the rapid shipment of Coal; and in size, 4on• venience and beauty of construction, is equal, if not • I superior, to any in the country. The Dauphin & Susquehanna Coal Company's Rail Road, connecting the Central Road at Auburn, palms through the eastern portion of the Borm , igh, and bridges the Canal and Swatan immediately be• low the basin. This work is prosecuted with great energy, and is to be completed for travel and trilde, according to contract, by next July. The Company have effected a loan from Messrs. _790 .147 f,O CORCORAN & Ricus, of Washiogtoti, for the tom struction of the rood, and some of the T rail tom the Danville works, in already delivered on ;the - ground. The distance froin Dauphin to Auburn by ibis road, in about 52 miles, and Pinegrove oceupiliss a poaiuon sufficiently central (being 17 miles from Auburn) to render it a favorable location foe the Machine shops of the Company, which, it is sup posed, will be erected here. The object of the eon. struction of this road, is to bring the Coal hoer the large body of land owned by the Dauphin& Sus quehanna Company into the Philadelphia &Easertu market, and also to obtain weelern travel , and !ton nage from the Central Road at Dauphin over theii road to Philadelphia. • When completed, the Dauphin Road will doUbt less become the general route of travel from i•tos tern Pennsylvania to Idarnsburg and the Went will bring i'inegrove within 3 miles as near Plilla• dclpbia by roahroid ab Pottsville is now: 1 1 Tho enlargement of flit. Main Line of the Canal, uniting the State Canal at Middletown With the Schuylkill at Reading, has been determineolup on by tho Company,and this also will directly tend to increase trade to and from this plam. - ln view of all these improvements, Pinerove has good reason " to look im" and bops., thr great Advancement and prosperity in the 'uture.

Baitaisx,—ln my former commudicatioh gave some account of the business and irnpriV.. meats of our borough; I will now give some ac , ' count of those Col:term in our immediate vicinity . The Mammoth Vein, which underlies our valley crops out against Mine Hill, over which it no & l imb! once saddled; on the north ride of Mine Hill it a. gain basins and forms the basin formerly wotked ' by Mr. Jos. G Lawton, but latelslAby Mr. G;.as Repplier, who has erected a 60 horse engine! lot pumping and hoisting, in addition to a 30 horsden• gine erected when the slope was sunk, and which was found quite insufficient to keepout the water ; conacquence of which Mr. Repplier was obliged to enlarge the Slope and erect a more powerful'en gine, which he has done, and is making other I,iin• provementswhich will enable hint - to mine coal with more convenience and profit. The Mammoth Vein,after forming Mr. Reptil t ter 's basin, maker a sharp saddle and forma another; be sin between that and Broad Mountain. This last basin was discovered recently and proved by Mon telius fit Milner, who am now opening it on Mill Creek, and ere.prepering to erect good and substan tial machinery, pelages Sc , under the directioh of Mr. O. Lawton, who, as an ingenious and ski.'ful arelutect, has sew superiors in this region. They expect to commence shipping coal by the fink of May next. - Tbis last basin is the Most northern of the Mam moth Vein south 01 Mahbnoy, and has been shafted on test of Mill Creek on the property cd Mr. Rach,. ardii..nn, on both tlaa north and south dip, and 1,40 is driving a water course from the lowest point out- his property on Wolf Creek with the intention or opening the vein. Mr. Patrick Fogarty is also driving gangways in his large body of Loaf on Broad Mountain FO es to enable him to, increase big ship meats next senoon. • There are eeveral smaller collieries on small veins which I have not mentioned, but those I Itevi, mentioned I think are abundantly sufficient to enti tie our neighborhood to a prominent position tg the coal trade; and our Borough, with all its adenine, ges, must rapidly incretue in wealth,and populs ; lion.
