It rasp be remarked of this laigely- aug

without ally embarrassment or difficulty at

tion, caused bra want of \care in regulating
the supply gates for the water power of the
illaniyuak mills, which oceurred at a period
when the water in the river\ was at its low
at stage, enabled us very aeurately to teat

such unfavorable conditions a rarely occur

Upon the fAcasion just ref d to, tile two
large and rannected-locks at the outlet of the
Menayunk canal were worked \ for 24 hours
~succeasively, and 83 boats of the large class
were passed;through them to that time.-- ,

separating the combined locks.
Theiine was opened on the sth of March,
1853, and the shipments were continued up
to December 22, 1853, which gave na a busi

After. fatefully considering the various
• . buns in which it has been suggested to de
clare a dividend on the Preferred Stock the
- Managers hive determined that it would
be both just and expedient to make it in the
COMLOOn Stock of the Company at par, and
that the said, 'dividend should be tour per
teat.. which will represent very nearly the.
amount of the net income of the year 1853.
For this purpose they subinit herewith ao
ordinance authorizing the enlargement of the
Capital 'Stock of the Company for the
site amount and the issue of Script certificates
' to ends holder ofpreferred stock for the sum
that will be due for dividend.
The propriety of tint arrangement will be
further manifest from the consideration that
all, the net inane of the past year has been
used to pay for the construction of the Lip
, pitmen ,dock and the other improvements of
a permanent tharacter,and in advances to the

We recentlx called attention to, and ptibi,
lished„ some extracts from, two Maps - i;o1
Schuylkill County, (one TopographicalA
Geological, and the other a Map of Altttud4), ,
prepared by P. W. Sheeler, Esq., o f t4 - is
place, for the State Medical Societe. tie
copy the note accompanying the latter, Fat
the sake of the information it
,incidentally
contains—this is the first and only Map; of
the kind that we knoW of in existence: -
" The ikecompanyiug section will saw
the elevation of certain districts above tide,
particularly along the main river courses;
You will readily see, that nearly all .jbe
inhabited portions of our State are underAhe
line of 1,000 feet of altitude, and yet tkire
are points 2,300 feet:annye tide, equal tO a
northern`latitude oi nearly 4c , ..
It rnly be important to note, that the voo
logical•structure of the Alleghenies, and,the
country Westward, is uniform ;.,being mostly
of the Bituminous Coal.series, the bigheii of
the. secondary rocks, while from the eastern
slopi tn. tide-water, we have the whOle tinge
of secondary rocks', from the upper Atititra ,
cite Coals, down to, and including the j-pri
mary, embracing in the variety, the Li:flag
stone of the great Cumberland Valley, tind
the old 'and new Red Sandstone series.. A.
comparison of the diseases incident to, - ;the
several river.courses, and applied to the tap.
.id or sluggish descent of their waters, must
elicit certain conclusions of importance.
The Schuylkill, for, instance, falls at• the
rate of 10 feet per mile, for a distance ot . 40
miles, then but 3 feet per mile. to tide -water.
The Juniata, lor about 130 miles from its
junction with the main'.Susquelianna, kows
at the rate of 4,4-feet pet mile while the lat
ter, contrary to the general 'rule, is mostiap
id where it approaches, tide. From Cocutn
hia, the fall is 5 feet per mile, and its descent
from the northern inae,of the State for 3250
miles, is but 3 feet per, mile.
, The I+.lorth and West Branches of thersus
quelianna fluty about on the same plane for
a distance of 70 miles above their junction.
The Schuylkill runs upon the same plane
to Reading, with the Delaware to Baiter),
where it is joined by , theLebigh.
The western waters are quite. as rateable
in their flow. The Kiskithinetas and Cone-
inaug,h, descind at the rate of dfi -fee( per
rude. The Allegheny falls 3 fed per *tile
from Warren to Franklin, a distance of 70
miles, then 2 feet per mile for 130 mites to
FittsLurg ; and the Ohio from Pltisbut* to
Cincintiatt, a distance of 3C3 miles, falls less
than iix4oches per mile.
The immense Allegheny range, separating
the Atlantic Slope from the great 'Weitern
Valley, paradoxical as it may seem, forms
a grand Reservoir to receive the Sutnener
rains and the snows of Winter, thence hi du•
tante i's pure waters over all the latitt
• The effects produced in different portions
of theStlite by this distribution, as shown in
the accompanying section, 1 leave fo'S the
consideration ob your Society.
