I should be noticed in it. • . • •
I • Tho public improvements going on in and aroand

I speak more in detail in future. The large and ex

enough to contain all the Locomotives that may be

1 notwithstanding the increased- number it will tr.-
quire to carry rat their already extensive and rapid i
) ly increasing business. Last week, the rafters of
t the liniklns,g, which are on the Howe Truss princi•
j plc, were loosened in order to replace one of them •
j in a perpendicular position, the whole ot them loos
't mg their perpendicular position, gave way and fell
1 1. to the ground, carrying with them several men cul
-1 ployeii at work. One of the men escaped with,
t i slight injury, two others were badly hurt, one
seriously, having several of ,Lis ribs and out arm.
broken, besides very severe contusions of the whole
{ body; but the attending physicians, pri.. Liggett and
' Royer, think that he will • recover. The men are
from Wilmington, Delaware. The accident is not
owing to the principle upon which the Arch is con-
Articled, but from loosening the ratters and sutiCr

Some 13 or :hl hands are busily engaged in con
structing new ones, which Mill soon be placed Upon

by - Drs. Kramer, of Berlin, hard and Dente, of

AT THIS season of the year, when coughs and

(which is too often the case, as thousands can tell
from sad experience) they are apt to terminate in
consumption or rome.other diseases of a serious
nature; and we do not know how we can confe - r
a greater favor upon such of our readers as may be'
afflicted, than to point out to them the means of a
speedy recovery; therefore we recommend Dr. J.

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

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 expenence of the past' year' has but
still further proved that itie upon the quali

'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

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

servkl that the Bonds and Mortgages on the

Ti connection with theexpendituresalready
incurred for the accumodation of the business
antieipated, and for which it is their duty lb
be *pared, the Manarrs will briefly assign
some of the reasons which have influenced
their judgement. 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
