On the .other,hand, in England, a young barrister,-who- does not know the difference between replevin and tracer, between mayhem and petty /army, looks down with vast supe riority- upon -the -.useful; well-informed, and highly,respectable Professional . men'who are :oak attorneys. Yet, leis by the favor of the 'Attar:My that the Barrister creeps into prac tice, which plainly means gets into the way of obtaining a livelihood, at the bar. .;The young barrister's Silt step in practice in the Courts of Law is generally to make what is tailed'" n motion of course," in doing which, he can. scarcely go wrong. Half a guinea Is the usual fee or honorarium on these °cessions, and the particular minis often hus banded with affectionate care and pride, and sometimes shettmein after life, when the re-_ eiplent has eon fame and fortune, as the nu -Claus of the whole. Sir WAtTIM SOOTT, being troubled with a swelled 'face, from toothache, when be thus wen 'his first ferl;" forcedly in vested, it in the purchase of a portentous red woollen night cap, conical hi form and soaring in ; height; which he Were, an the same evening, la the Specalsitlie - Stichity of Edinbgrgh, of which - heitas Secretary. It to on record, that, with this remarkable headdress, be first made the acquaintance 'of Jarrett-, afterwards the milneat critic. After having Made a few motions of course, and learned - not to be atlaid of hearing his own voice in, the - Courts, the young barrister nipbably believes that he is competent to fly st";bigher 'game. - Probably, the family attor ney may give him a brief in some case, by way :of encouragement. That is,be lets him as :Junior counselOnvitich capacity he has very little to do.

Alinost invariably, ,the attorney, appends,-to the history of the case, lutuntary, evidence, and guesses at what may be alleged on the other side, a good array of , legal points add authorities bearing `Ott 'Minnie. Indeed, a great deal depends, as regaids counsel's success in Court, uppn the Attoruey'S getting un,the "case before over it •is set ; down to trial, - liaire spoken of tbo verbosity of the brier. Thatin the -case of Warman HAS TEN9O; tried by impeachment before the house of Lords--and eo - splendidly described by aLtoabiar4.-extended to 160,000_ folios or pi!ges, each of 72 words. In more modern times, the largest brief was that held in the CAN ,S2Wit. versus I..rwoon,' which ran to 80,000 folios. The fee which accompanied that brief was 8,000-guineas; equal to $42,000. .Against this groat extent may ho set ono re- Markable brief, which simply contained these emphatic words : "r. We have no defence ; bnt please pitch into"plaintitf 'a attorney." In one of MAOAULAY'S earlier essays, which, strange, to say, have escaped being reprinted iri Oda country, 'is a' lively' Sketch entitled 1 4‘,lfy 7Sfaiden,l3tief," describing 'how a young birrlater , got on with his. first case. The rea ;der wax taken into one of the law courts, where the young barrister, with many more In the same predicament, sat, .be-wigged and be gowned, looking askance",at the bustling and prosperous attorneys, and thinking as little of their power to give them business, as a young lady. in a ball room thinks of the probable Marriageable disposition of the beaux who flutter aromullter. Presently, says MACAULAY, one of the attorneys deliberately draws out his Muse, ostentatiously culls a couple of guineas froth It, carefully wraps his Me up in paper, and safely attaches it, by a bit of red tape, to *oblong par et, at the first look, you receptions # , nods at you, he catches your eye, he •fiings the brief and the money over to you, you take up the wel come parcel, and, on looking at it, discover OW it bears the mime of the Man sitting next you, to whom you hand it with; a bow and a seppreseed sigh. - Why has the attorney been such a wretch as to play with your feelings ? Pardon him, the wretch squints,•and when hip eye caught yours, he was looking. at the gen tlehis4next beyond you.. , 1 The lowest . fee, in the smallest case, in Eng land, is one guinea, and there is also a sum of half-a-crown paid, with each brief, to the banister'e clerk, A lawyer in good bar and 4,hattib'er practice - , may realize from $lO,OOO td $28,000 per annum. - A fivr actually earn ,as much as $70,000 to $lOO,OOO a year, but these are the great - prizes, 'end ere-compara tively rare, The„Atterney-Oeneral may get $lOO,OOO, but -it is doubtful whether, in pri vate practice, any, English b - arrister earns mere than Sir Easier ' NALLY, or Sir Paz -1?letfOIC TILESI9rII., each of whom realizes about $75,004 "a year.„ Mr. Sergeant EvLEs, (author of‘e'valuable law4ook «On Bills,") who has feat been PlaCed on the English bench, though he *as leader of the Nerwich Circuit, never nuide $20,000 a year. As a judge, he will have $25,000 per annum, and fifteen retiring pen alon of $17,600 at the end of fifteen years, or If ill-health should-compel him to retire. The mode, amount, and prinelple of paying the English judges will come more particularly Under consideration by - and-bici; There comparatively, fa instances where ineti'eloqbeiteei without a, knowledge of law, eari, push a Man forward attire English bar. 1/04nifr Cennsel have few opportuni flea Of spiechmaking,and if they had; it would IMeoliaidated bidleate and ba4 policy to tire off an oration on a petty occasion.

Atthb•Eriglish bar, the interest of the client, the , winning of She verdiet, is the main point_ aimed at, and not the Vain display of the ad: frocfle'soratorleal powers. The barrister who 411`eugheniiorei ifitneilf than Of his client, at the English bar, "would Very Obeli' him clients to think ef. Onammis Parmars, who was considered the “ great Irish Orator," some forty odd ' years ago, was induced to abandon the Irish for the ' English bar. .130 took mainly t 6 the defence of criminals, at the Old Bailey, though he also had some Nisi Frills Mist:fess, on the Oxford Circuit. Ito had the sagacity to perceive that the flowery ora. tory which had gained him so much fame in Ireland, Would be oat of place at the English bar, and he bad the good sense to make his speeches brief, sharp, and to the purpotio. No doubt it was a sacrifice, for CiIAILLES PULL LIPS was a great rhetorician. But ho became a distinguished, because a successful, crimi nal lawyer—having substituted common sense for oratorical display. . Even the advocate who has merely eaten his way to the bar, has a chance, If ho study, and particularly' if be attend to the practice of the Co'urts, of obtaining a fair, workingknow ledge of the law. There Wile lately a notable instance of this; In the person of Mr. Sergeant Wtmuss, who for some years bad boon the "leader" of the Northern Circuit, That is, In every Important civil case, this gentleman held a Bret or leading, brief.

ThO late Lonl Chancellor Talmo, when Sir Tumuli Wrion, urged him to become a bar rister, and even supported him while in a transition atate, and for a few years after. lirnants had not studied the law, but he care fullyattended the Courts, and thus picked ups groat deal of practical knowledge. By degrees, he got into practice, made some judicious oratorical displays, became so popular that be assumed the coif (as sergeant,) and, with the aid of an obscure junior, who knew the law thoroughly, was kept so well "posted up" that he carried every thing before him. At the time of his death Wmcnis was almost the only really eloquent man at the English bar. His influence with juries was wonderful. He made a point of never, throwing away his elo quence on a petty cause: We may conclude these remarks with an anecdote or two about fees. There was a Ser geant Ronan, at the English bar, who was solemnly accused, before the bar-mess of his Circuit, of having violated lawyers' etiquette by taking a fee in silver, whereas the rule was not to accept any thing but gold. Be owned the soft impeachment, adding co I took silver, because otherwise I should not have got any fee whatever." He was honorably acquitted. Mr. Firzomnon (father of Lord CLARE, Lord Chancellor of Ireland) was accused of having taken- less than the' lowest fee recognised. "Gentlemen," said he, "the fee wan a guinea, and I took only sixteen shillings. } But, I give you my honor, It was all the poor devil had In the world ; and, therefore, I hope I stand excused." He was excused, for no man could have done More, under the circumstances.

(75 per cont.)" of the last mentioned debt will ulti mately be realised from the securities in the bands of the trustees. Farther investigation has brought to light some additional assets; claims have been presented which did not appear upon the books of the bank, and the ownership of most of the doubt fat items has been &lammed. Upon the whole, the nominal surplus hoe been inereased without any substantial addition to its value. Among the assets wore found notes, choke, do., of an Insol vent house, the head of which is the brother of the late president, amounting to $119,280.57, of which a email portion was scoured by doubtful oollaterals, and the effects in the hands of the assignee of the firm ace expected to pay a very small dividend. Of this large sum, but 812,850 was discounted by the board of directors. The remaining notes, which are unendorsed, and without security of any kind, dame into possession of the bank, as the under signed ere Informed by the drawers, without their agency or knowledge. This debt, the late presi dent has slime his return proposed to assume. The paper of other insolvent oonoerno, to a very large amount, was found in a safe In the bank, of which the key was kept by the president, and is included In the preceding statement of its assets. The parties are unable to pay anything at present, and some of them appear to have beau under the Ito premien that their indebtedness was to Mr. Atli bond individually, although many of their notes and checks are payable to the order of the cashier. The obligations of a former director, and of his Arm, appear to the extent of $148,818 21.

The °Get of the transfer so made to the Individual ledger. in which the private accounts of the customers of , the bank were kept, and which, under the uniform 1 rule of all banks, no director, other than the pro- sident or rotting-president for the Unto being, Is permitted to inspect, was to diminish to the ex- tent of the balance against it the apparent liabili. ties of the bank, as that balance was always de ducted front the aggregate of individual deposits as presented to the board. An amount for bills reeeivable Ives kept in the individual•ledger, the ' balance against which ($146,068.21) was trans- leered to the same account in the general ledger, October lath, 1857. This amount had also, up to that date, boon deducted -from the deposits In reporting, the state of the' bank to the hoard. Four days after the failure of the bank the sterling account in the individualledger, which had, in the interim, remained without ()hangs, was cloned by the order of the president to transfer $127,084.17 to the sterling account in the general ledger, and $191,111.04 to the debit of Moans, George Peabody & Co., who were' 4t. that time large creditors of the bank, and 'Open whom no claim bas. heels or can be Made for any part of this sum. The late president has eine° informed us that this , was an unintentional error. Most of the items of this account in both ledgers, "other than those which represent the losses on sterling bills, were without apparent reason credited at various dates to the mount of Thomas Allibone, president, also kept in the individual lodger, and the board have directed them to be re-charged, leaving that ,tumount, which amounted during his term of office to more than five millions of dollars, overdrawn 481,729.29 ; all of which, Mr. Allibone asserts, was disbursed for the use and benefit of the bank, but how, or when, has not yet been made appa rent to this board. The best investigation which the board have, under the pressure of other duties, and in the very short time left them ;lir that purpose, been enabled to make has satisfied them that some of the de; Oared dividends were not earned, although Mims the manner in which the books of the bank were kept and the results exhOlted to the board, there' was i n every instance an apparent surplus, which . would have justified their being declared ; a very large proportion of the deficiency can, in their opinion, be accounted for by the enormous sums laid for neury by the late president, who sold argo amount, of the best bills receivable of the bank whenever its exigencies seemed to him to require it, end allowed to some parties execesive interest for deposits without con sultation with or report to the board as, to either. The proceeds of two such sales to a sire , glo individual, amounting - to $178,128.08, were. credited to Mr. /linens's private account lie De oembor,lBs3, and March, 1854; and do not appear to have'heen ;mounted for. Other °with; in that account are for sums of money which obviously be longed to the bank. That aoceent, which amounted to more than eight millions of dollars during the Derby! for which he held the oMee of president, em braces very large trausaetions with brokers, but lb/ whom doe; not appear wmot; ;bey bene”,4 to 10 justly due the bank from the late president, demanded at their hands the most prompt and energetic ao tion. The cironmstences under which he left the country, without any explanation' as to the condi tion of the bank ; the alarming absence of scour!. ties understood to have been in his fire-proof safe, the key of which came into the poesendon of the board after his departure; the suita brought against him for large amounts, and the knowledge that he was heavily indebted to personal friends for advances Of money and paper, left them no alternative consistent with the obligations of duty to their constituents, but to tele the most decided steps to subject his property to the just claims of the bank and his other creditors, so that no pre (manse should be acquired by any one. The mem bers of the board did not hesitate, therefore, to pro ceed against his property; an attachment was issued, and the court has appointed trustees, but a motion is now pending to dissolve it, which is as yet undecided. It has sines been ascertained that the key of the president's safe was delivered by him to the rioting president on the evening before his do mature, and we are now informed by Mr. Alit bone that it was given by him to another director of the bank at different times, during, the preceding week, while he was confined by sickness to his chamber. The board lost no time in taking the most vigorous measures for the liquidation of the in debtedness to the bank. Debtors were urged to avail themselves of the opportunity to make pay ments in the obligations of the bank, and its securities were applied to the payment of Its debts whenever it could be done with advantage. The Recounts of the bank stood on the 30th ult.: Assets 52,355370 04 Liabilities 1,790,074 32 Showing a nominal surplus of 565,103 72 No accounts having been settled with the city banks the whole amount of their original advances is !winded ,bu t the sum of throe hundred and twen ty ono thousand two hundred and ninety-two dollars and eighty-four cents ($321,202 84) has been col lected from the seourities held by the three trusts to that date, leaving the total indebtedness of this bank at $1,465,781.48 exclusive of open ac counts and disputed items. It will be seen • that tho liabilities have been reduced $759,002.32 sinew November bth. $2,791,114 SI Their partial success induced them to hope that they might save something from tbo wrack for the stockholders, and avert from the city and State the discredit consequent on the insolvency of an institution so long and honorably Identified with the put Watery (Vieth. They wore slow to be lieve that the capital and surplus fund of over two millions, to which more than one hundred and My thousand dollars (3150,000) was added by the prtdit on the sale of the old banking house anti lot, could have been them dissipated. Pnoouraged by the return of the late president to this country to hope that a portion, at - lout, of the property of the bank might, through his agency and informa tion, be reoevered, or its loss accounted for, the board immediately invited him to meet them for the purpose of explanation. Prior to the receipt of their resolution, and on the day after hie arrival in this city, ho had ad dressed them a note expressing hie desire to do so, and frankly communicate all the information he possessed He has for the put week boon in almost daily conimnolcatlon with tbo board, or a committee of Its members, and given them much information as to the manner in which the affairs of the bank were conducted under his administration, but as yet none which can bs made available in any ef fort to improve their present condition. At, the outset, while disclaiming all knowledge or belief that be was indebted to the bank a single dollar, he voluntarily offered to convey all hls property, subject to such pre-existing lions as he might bo unable to remove, to a trustee. who should be ac ceptable to the board, to be held until Ids debt, if any, could be adjusted,and then distributed among hie creditors. $2,228,310 80 1,818,000 00 208,310 98 ' Mr. Alltbone estimates the estate he proposes to transfer as giving the bank u margin of $i50,000, over and above all ineembranoes; which amount, upon Inquiry, we think may in time be realised, under proper management, if we are correctly in formed as to the amount of the prior liens. Ifo oredits however, to a large• amount, for paper advanced ity him for the use of the bank, and for other items, one of which le for any balance which may be found duo upon an agreement, in writing given by him to Therune Robins, Esq., to indemnify the Philadelphia and other banks, to the extent of $200,000, against any lose by reason of Built advances to the Bank of Pennsylvania. The counsel of the bank and Mr. /Wilma are now engaged in' preparing the necessary import. Suit has been commenced agninst the bank on a bill of exchange, (which had slime boon pronounced by the acceptors an"aecommedation bill,") drawn by a director on a Manchester firm for fifty tbo 0311 d paled,' sterling, in September last, and purchased and paid for by the late president, without the as sent or knowledge of any other director. Thin bill remitted to Messrs. Peabody ,t Co., for the credit of the bank, is now claimed to bo the property of Messrs. John Plokeragill Jr Son, of London, the agents of the itertopters, • This demand it ie intended strenuously to resist, en it le not believed to be a just claim upon the bank. Other suite to which no proper defence can be taken have been commenced, and judgments to R very large amount will probably be obtained against the bank on the third Saturday of the pre cent month. tinder these oircumstances and with little hope of being able to realize enough from its assets to pay the undisputed debts of the bank, and with a view to prevent any preference or ad vantage among its creditors, the board is of opi nion that equal justice to all requires an mtge. meat to be made for the dietribution of tho property among the creditors according to law. The lave of the State clothe the board with full power to eremite such an instrument, but they prefer that the stookholdere should determine this grave ques lien for themselves. . .

Cdr. Robinson enforced the necessity of adopting the resolution with some further remarks. Ile alluded to the fact that' the commissioners appointed by; the Governor had not yet made their final re pott, and hoped it could lie obtained before an aseignment. The board of directors had done all is their power, but their power was limited. They oasid get no more information upon points not ex plained by the books than those whom they ques- Horsed would voluntarily give. But the commis stoners lied power to send for persons and papers, and he hoped that they would exercise their autho rity and probe the mysteries of the hank manage ment to the bottom, Be alluded to several points in the alleged ode °admit of the late president, among others to the statement that the bills of the bank had been sold sltthigh rates of usury on the street. In many aties he had no doubt that these bills were bought byl, parties innocently, but Ito thought it probable that In other cases they carried on their toss a warning to the purchasers of such bills that there was wrong or fraud in the transactions, and it was peasible that something might, in such a ease be recovered for the bank. Ho was the more elisions for a thorough investigation, that It might be un derstood that in this community we do not couple rotate the idea that parties who have aided and abetted in the work of ruining an institution like this j should go unsoathed. .'edr. John M. Scott hoped the vote on the resolu tion would be postponed for one weak, It was un important resolution. Thie act was the destrne- Rea of •an old and time-honored institution. He wished to see the report just read in print, that he aphid examine it at his Jelenre, and make up his mind clearly upon it. Ho wanted the final report of the oommissioners appointed by the Governor. He did not think an assignment the beet means of getting at the public exposure and discovery of the parties who had' wrought this rain. He would rather entrust this duty to the present board of directors. The dirty of assignees was both unplea sant and thankless, and their powers were limited. They were to convert the assets into money, pay It out to the creditors], and get discharged As men they would shrink, naturally, from tho task of exposing delinquencies on the part of their fol low-men. Moir duty was to•wind up the affairs, and not to ferret out past fraudulent transactions, and they would be apt to keep the secrets which came to their knowledge looked up in their own breasts. Ile held every man Innocent till he was proved to be guilty, but be would like to have it wade public, how it was that an institution which At the end or 1856 was declared to have dollar for deter of its debts, now sunk so far that there is net a oent lett ter the stockholders. An assignment wattle grave of discovery. Mr. Robinson said he was willing to have the re solution lie over until an adjourned meeting. Col. Patterson said he bad not a word to say in opposition to the postponement. He, however, Wished to explain an error Into which the former speakers bad fallen ea to the State commitse of in vestttatlon- He would thank that committee for the tenderness with which they had treated the Institution, out of a feeling of regret on behalf of the stockholders. They had seen at a glance the true condition of the bank, but their report that the bank was insolvent would have been its war rant of dissolution, putting ripen the Governor the necessity of appointing receivers, and forfeiting its charter, which they were unwilling to do, while any reasonable ground of hope remained, that a sufficient amount of missing property of the bank might be recovered and its debts paid.— They intended to continue their investiga tions with the hope of ascertaining if it were pos sible that any parties concerned in the destruction of the bank could be brought to an account, for the benefit of the otookholders, and they ware men of the right stamp for the duty thus assumed.. In the meantime the necessity for an assignment was obvious and imperative. The question was then put on the motion to post pone, and it was voted that the consideration of the resolution be postponed to an adjourned meet ing, to be hold on Wednesday, the 10th Inst., at 12 o'clock.

Dr. Moiety submitted a resolution, authorizing the secretary of the board to advertise for propo sals, for introducing gas fixtures into the al inehouse, which, after being amended, so as to allow till next meeting for sending in such proposals, was agreed to. Dr. Mustily accepted the amendment. Mr. Brdwn said on looking over the proceedings of Councils, he saw the following: " Mr. MeMakin submitted a resolution author istnl the Guardians of the Poor to advertise for proposals for putting gas Into the almshouse. Agreed to, with an amendment that the proposals be opened by the Committee on Poor." Mr. Brown then made a few remarks, comment ing severely upon the councilman alluded to, and referring to the economy practised by the board. After which, lie submitted a resolution authorizing the introduction of gas into the Almshouse, which was agreed to. Mr. Evans submitted a resolution that no bills shall be approved for goods purchased by the Com mittee on Accounts, unless the articles are pre viously authorized by the board. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Garcht called attention to the report of the Pittance Committee of Councils, and contended that the per °omega of the reduction of expenses of the Department of Poor was greater than that of any other department. Mr. Fidler said the Committee on Finance bad proposed to levy a tax of 10 cents for the Poor, while the appropriation bill already passed only called for 12 cents on the SlOO. Mr. Server submitted a resolution that the visi tors of the several poor districts be instructed not to draw for any amount exceeding the stun appropriated for the month of February. Agreed to.

St. John's Literary Association.—The ar rangotuonts for the fourth anniversary of this so ciety, which is to be bold at Sanwm•street Hall, on the 25th inst., have been made on the most liberal acute. The exercises, we doubt not, will prove of au interesting and attraotiyo oharavtor. ZLECENTII ANNUAL IMPORT Office at the Pennsylvania nativist, Pesaymear, , Philadelphia, la***** an. ilLia. To the Stara°Mom of the Pennayitanin Rail. road Company: At the time of your last annual meeting, the basinesi of the company and the condition of the country were highly prosperous.. Every Indication pointed to the continuance of financial oleo during the year, and to the uninterrupted proeperity of your enterprise. Apprehensions, it Is true, were felt that the 'ergs individual and oorporate indebt edness of every section of the country would, in time, lead to a monetary crisis; bat there was no expectation that It would come so suddenly or be marked by snob unprecedented violence- New that it has in a great measure rowed, we tan din. cover no sufficient resson for the Intensity et the panto. Its effects are familiar to aft, and it is to these it is due that you felled tamely. your usual earel-enousi dividend in November lest. The pro fits of the - cceopeny were suttleient to Justifya rea sonable dividend at that time, but .t . hey had been Invested in the cronstruation end egniplasst of the road, under the impreesfen Butt a sate of your second mortgage bonds would enable os to !vises them ie meson to meet the legitimate expectations of the shareholder,. The nearly total prostration of corporate and individual credits throughout the country, in November, prevented the accomplish ment of this object. Between placing the moil tof the company In jeopardy, or the sacrifice of Its se. ourities, and the temporary inoonvenlenee of some of its shareholders, the board could not hesitate. The permanent interests of all the stockholders, which It was their duty to consult, have doubtless boon promoted by the amine adopted. Bound policy digitated that, under the etrourestancam, all of the moans of the company should be directed to the reduction of Its unfunded liabilities. These, we have the gratification to Worm you, have been met to an extent that renders °erten the payment of is dividend in May next.' The board have resolved further le rodeoe the floating or unfunded debt, which does not exceed five per cent. on the capital stock paid la, at the present time, to three per 'tent., and thereafter not allow It to exceed this limit. As the accounts of the company, after making ample deduetioa for the contingent or renewal fend, will justify the payment of the suspended dividend, it has been urged that this should ba divided among the share holders, In scrip convertible Into bonds or stook of the company at par. As neither of these methods of payment could be resorted to without operating injuriously upon the sale of the securities of the company, the suggestion has not been adopted. At a later period,' however, it may be advisable to make this disposition of those prodta.

The high prices that prevailed during the year for Mot and materials, added to the large amount of expenditure Incurred for Iron rails, cross-UN, and bridge repairs, would stem to render any ad dltiontal allowance for deterioration unnecessary; but If we place to the "contingent And renewal fund" $175,677, there would still remain a net profit of $924,473.95, which is equivalent to a divi dend of seven per cent. upon the present mite' of the company. The tables appended to the re port of the General Superintendent exhibit the earnings and expenses of the road in detail. It wiU be teen, by reference to these, that the whole number of passengers conveyed during the year between _Harrisburg and Pittsburgh is equivalent to 143,613 passing over the whole length of the road, showing a decrease, as compared with 1856, of 5,040 passengers, and a decrease in receipts for first-class passengers of $9,735, and for emigrants 31,395. Upon the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad— leased by this company—the equivalent through passengers, adding the number carried over the Columbia branch of that road an equivalent dis tance, wes 140,329, being 3,284 less than the equi valent through passengers on the Pennsylvania Railroad ; showing the local business of the Penn sylvania Railroad, though traversing a mountain ous region, intersooted by rich valleys, to be greater than that of its associate, though pawing, for its whole length, through the wealthy and populous counties of Dauphin and Lancaster. The *gales lent through passengers on the Harrisburg and Lancaster road, previous to the commencement of the Ponnaylvania Railroad, ten years eines, was but 51,503; and on the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, but 65,751, The equivalent through pas sengers on the latter road, 1n 1856, was 207,086. Should the travel upon these lines increase with the came rapidity for the next ten years, the pros poets of our company will fully equal the expecta tions of those who have formed the most sanguine anticipations of its future. The gross earnings of the road for freight, during the year, wore $3,376,516.26 ; being en increase over the year 1956 of $132,284.69. The through business amounted to 173,072 tone, and the local, inoludlng coal, to 358,347 tons—an increase of 6,919 on the through, and 69,418 on the local ton nage. The aggregate tonnage for the year was 530,420 tons, in whioh Is included 200,392 tons of gas and other coals, carried in the oars of theism pany. In addition to this there were 298,297 tons of freight transported In the ears of individuals, of which 97,619 tone of eoal were delivered to Pitts burgh. The year 18581,111 be the first under which the whole line, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, will be operated by this company, and from this period the accounts of the company will be kept so as to be of greater value for future reference in exhibi ting the developmen' of the traffic of the line. On the first day of August last, in conformity with the terms of purchase, sanctioned by your vote on the 234 of July, the Main Line of public work' was transferred, by proclamation of the Governor of the Commonwealth, to this company. The price required to be paid for the works was $7,500,000, in the bonds of this company, bearing five per cent. Interest, the State relinquishing her reserved right to purchase the Pennsylvania Rail road. Of these bonds, $lOO,OOO are payable on the 31st dey of July, 1858, and $lOO,OOO annually thereafter until July 31,1850, ' , shell tip payntonta will be at the rate of 31,000,07 4 r; annum until the whole amount is paid, ease g the last pay ment falling doe Shy 31, , asnomstine so 3300,000.

The acceptance of them terms by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is Jostled by "the venter effiehmey with which the whole line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh maid be operated when placed ander one control—en efficiency which the close competition between the four East and Welt lines, in price, speed and so commodation, rendered a pantaloon! masideratkm The purchase embraces one hundred and four miles of canal on the west, and one hundred and eighty-one altos (including the avatars feeder, two and a half masa lem,) on the east aide of the Allegheny mountalo; thirty-seven miles of Wi tter, part double Stet part tingle track, between Johnstown and fiellktaysburg ; eighty miles of double track railroad between Philadelphia and the Susquehanna river, together with all the reel estate, locomotives, oars, and alt other pre connected with, or in anywise Sppartal g thereto. The canals purchased were found to be In a sari dilapidated condition, laseieg, in addition to a neglect of necessary annual reptirs, entered much from the frequent freshets of the pest spring. Very little progress bad been made in repairing thew breaches when the Hoe was transferred to this company. between Hollidayaborg and Johns town Namara no value, except what Is dneto the material of which its track is constructed. • - • • • The condition of the Philadelphia and Colombia Railroad and its natures was found to be seemly more favorable than that of the canals; and the expenditure. required at once to plate thew. toped order have necessarily been heavy, all et which have been charged to currant expenses. It appears that nothing exempt the daily supplies necessary. to keep the trains in motion was pur chased by thces in charge of this read, for its ope ration and maintenenoe, after the passage of the sale bill. After the sale the artiedes on hand then pure/owed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were used to work and repair the road until its de livery, on the But of August, a period of thirty six days, while the receipts of all of the works were appropriated to the use of the original own ers, leaving a just claim for indemnification on the part of this company. In the repairs of this road during the Are months, ending December Si, 135 T, that it has been in our possession, $54,291 have been expended for iron rails $29,269 for ties, chairs, frogs, spikes, and for repairs of bridges, and 83,605 for the renewal and repairs of water-stations, for which no nipendi tares were nude by the State for the previous seven months. 830,278,231 T 3 We refer to this subjeot In explanation of what would otherwise appear to be a heavy outlay npon this portion of the road—now known as the Phila delphia Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The tracks of this division are at present in good order, but they will tapirs more than their dos proportion of Iron to maintain them in like sand!. ilon for the next twelve months. The ordinary running expense; of this portion of the line have bun largely curtailed, and will be further radioed ee ciromutanoes permit. By reference to the tabular statements appended to this report, It will be aeon that the gross earn ings of the canal portion of the main line during the five months (from Auguit Ist, 1857, to Decem ber 31st, 1857,) amounted to $93,966 04, and the cost of repairs and maintenance daring the same period was $73,190 10, leaving the mm of 819,- 775 94 as the nett earnings of the same for the period above etatod. It is proper, hareem-, to mark that the earnings up to the else of ?ra tion In 1851 will be all upended in pre mg the works for the opening 0: the navigation the spring. Upon the remainder of the line the increased ax panditures are mainly due to the Increased tonnage transported, except for the Items of iron rails. theirs, spikes, eroseties, and repairs of bridges, all of which are approaching the maximum of &static.- ration, and will not hereafter be very materially exceeded upon the soma length of tracks. The amount expended for these items damn( leir 7 was $220,673, of which 983,160 was on the Philadelphia division of the road. The amount expended In 1858, for the same Items, was $47,125 . The prevailing low reties of labbr and materials will be sensibly felt during the year 1858, in re daction of expenses, and we think that they will fully compensate for any anticipated decrease in the business of the road. Very little progress has been made with the second track during the year. The amount now laid on the western division, which extends from Pittsburgh to Altoona, a distance of lif miles, is 92 miles. There is, also, on thin division, 13 miles of sidings and a branch to Indiana, isentainteg 201 miles of single track. On the eastern divi sion, from Altoona to flarrisbarg, 132 miles, the length of moral track laid U 70 miles, and 121 miles of sidings. The branch from Altoona to tioilk.aysburg, 8 miles in length, includleg iddings, is equivalent to ten miles of single track. The sum necessary to complete the entire double track, and substituting Iron (or the present wooden bridges, except the Susquehanna badge, is estima ted at 51,088,398 3d. The (unities now afforded for operating a single track, by the aid of the te legraph system, renders it less important to con tinue the expenditure for this object, until the business of the lice shows some considerable in crease. $30,278,251 73 Additional warehouse room is required for the accommodation of the freighting Onstages of the road. The accommodation/ for paasenipen at the stations on the line are yet deficient, particularly upon that portion recently purchased of the Com inonwelith, and at Pittsburgh The erection of a suitable station at the letter point has been delay ed chiefly in consequence of the uncertain move ments of our western connections It has been our wish to bring all of the roads with which we osn nect at Pittsburgh into one station. for which this company has provided ample grounds. The causes that have delayed the commencement of this sta tion-house, will, we think, soon be overcome, when arrangements for its erection will be made The expectations expressed in the last annual report of the board in relation to an early conges tion with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne. enaChicago Railroad have not been realised. flat company bas, however, after mach delay, succeeded in pile , ing its eastern terminus on the Pittsburgh side of the Allegheny river; but owing to the Interpol& lion of municipal objections to the passage of Penn street, their road has not yet bean connected with that of this company. These difficulties we trust will soon be overcome, and the inconveniences to which passengers have been subjected at Pitts burgh °orbited. The transfer of passengers from wide to narrow care at Harrisburg still continues, In consequence of deters attending the procurement from Councils of the privilege of increasing the space between the tracksof the Philadelphia city railroad. An altera tion in the height of the tunnel on the Harrisburg and Lancaster road is also important to effect this object. That company has consented to make this change during the sliming spring. Al aeon as these alteristiens are made the inconvenience re ferred to will cease, and the changes on our route be reduced below those of any other line to the West. $1"51,775 91 The rolling stook upon the Pennsylvania Ball road oonslsted, at the olose of the year, of 216 freight and passenger looonotives. 54 wide passenger can. 14 narrow do. 31 emigrant can, 18 baggage can with nail apartments , . 9 do without do 198 sigh t-wheeled stock ears. 1284 eight-wheeled house cars for general me chandise. 109 four-wheeled home oars for general mer chandise. 292 eight-wheelei lumber, coal or wood trucks 92 four-wheeled coal cars. The outfit is deemed sufacient to meet any de mands that can arise during the present year. It has been the policy of this company to aid in the construction of Wettern railways designed to facilitate trade to and from its road, and to avoid the serious inconvenience and loss to its freighting business from the uncertain character of the navi gation of the Ohio river. With this object In view, assistance has been extended to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago, the Steubenville and Indiana, and the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad companies. The two first-named works have, to a considera ble extent, met the objects for which the invest ment wan made, but neither has yet succeeded in obtaining such connections la would bare jostified the expenditures that have been made on their amount. The continuation of the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne road to Chicago, and en independent tine from Steubenville to Pittsburgh, seem to be &teen tial to give to them the ability to repay us for the expendttures incurred, or prove profitable to their shareholders. We expected to have been able, ere this, to report that these objects bad been ac complished; but the continued financial embar rassments of the country have prevented the pro curement of the means required for that porpoise. Arrangements are now in progress which, it is believed, will lead to the completion of these con nections When finished, they will secure to this company all the indirect advantages anticipated from their construction; while the lapse of a few years will enable the companies to relieve them• selves from their embarrassments and maks direct returns to their shareholders. Both works wen,' favorable locations for traffic, and would. but for their inability to procure funds at reasonable rates to complete their lines, have proved, ere this, pro fitable investments . . . The financial difficulties of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company have prevented the estension of its road to a point that 'solid render the investment made in its sharea by this com pany, either directly or indirectly, profitable to it. These embarrawatients have indwed the directors of that company to call a meeting of its share holders and creditors, on the 1111th day of Pebruer7, at which meeting this company will be duly US presented. The advantages anticipated by the stockier:dm from &connection with this line would. doubtless, save been fully justified by the results, had the hubeoription, as recommended by th e directors, been wade contingent upon the Marietta aid TWO CENTS.
