The forebodings of our correspondent, Magna
Charts,' improbable . as they, seemed, have been
more than realised. The Supreme Court has un
dertaken to, do what no lawyer -In Pittsburgh be
lieved to be,possible, and what no citizen, we sup.
pose, will bb disposed to submit to. We would not
like to say - plainly' what is the talk upon our'
;streets in relation to whathas been done, and , the
manner of it. Theladge, no doubt, will hear it
soon enough.,

it, so far as we know, even in the ProfessioM The
people will now, of course, take the matter into

Iteal Estate in New York and Phila
delphia.
The extraordinary, difference between the
price of real estate in New York and in. Phil
adelphia :Is frequently commented upon, but few
have any idea how great this difference is. As
the inbjeCt is an interesting one, we have taken
some pains to - Investigate IL
The New York Daily Times, • always to'
be found on file at the. Exchange,, has re
cently adopted a Bystem of publishing a daily
statement of real estate sales in that city,
giving minutely,all particulars—the names of
owners and purchasers, and the location of all
properties sold. The idea is a good one, for
it is desirable that capitalists, and the public
generally, should be enlightened in relation to
real estate operations and investments ; and
since they are becoming tho subjeet of so much
interest to Or. men of wealth, their publien
ticin seems:to pe, demanded by the same con
sideratiops 'iihich secure publicity to all stock
operations.
_One objection to this, however, is
the tear of being misled by the reports of bogus
sales; which may sometimes be resorted to for
effect, In real estate operations ; but to avoid
that difficulty, theTtines frequently states that
none but boas fide ant positive sales will be re
ported, and as it -givei full particulars, we
have no' reasons to doubt that its statements
are entirely reliable. .
, In order to give our readers a correct idea
of ; the rates at which vacant properties in the
ripper Part ortbe island, upon which New
_York is located are selling, we furnish a few
`specimens - of prices, as taken from the anti
'ales of - the Tithes. apuded to above for the
last few days. - lime prices Indicate , the-
'To 'Secure a correct understanding of these
repotted sales, It Will be necessary that :to,
furnish
,a bv 'which the reader' tatt ,
determine the distance fkom the 01 . v I
whieh •is the buiineis:centre of New, Tt
of each lot sold. Taking that Hall, with r. ' 1 I
all" are familiar, as the starting point, th,
distance to Sixth street Is one and a half
miles, and, beyond "that point every twent;
squares make just one mile. ' The distance of
any of the lots mentioned from the City Hall
can;therefore, be readily ascertained by add
ing; to one and a half , half miles, (the dis
tance to Sixth, street,) ono mile for' every
twenty squares: For instance, Sixth street is .
one and a half miles from the City Hall,—
Twenty-sixth- street,. two and a half miles,—
Forty 7 slith' street, Three and'a half miles,—
Sixty-sixth Street, four and a half miles,—
Eighipsixth street, five and a half.miles, and
so on to the end of the Island.
Antoinithe recent sales we quote the fol
, towing: November 9, four lota, 25 by 100,
on Thirty-eighth street and Sixth avenue
(over three mileefrom the City Hall), $23,600,
or about $6,000 a lot; or, allowing sixteen
loti to the acre, $96,000 per acre. October
28, eight lots on Filth avenue, between
Eighty-eighth and Eighty-ninth streets (over
five miles from the City Hall, and two above
all improvements), cc eta considerable advance
on. $BO,OOO (we quote from.report), the price
at 'which it 'was lately sold. We presume
that the property cannotnow be bought for
much lasi than $40,000." It has since sold
for $86,000: Now, at $86,000, the lots would
average. $4,600 each, or, $72,000 per acre.
Two lots on Forty-second street, between
Stith and Seventh avenues (nearly three
and a halt miles from the City Hall), for
$6,260 each. Two lots on Fifty-ninth street,
(over four miles from City Hall) at $6,750
each. November 2d,two lots on Fifty-eighth
street at $2,200 each;' four lots on Sixty:
second street and Broadway, nearly four and a
half miles from City Hall, for $12,600; twen
ty-eight lots On One hundred and fourteenth
street, near Fifth avenue, (seven miles above
City Hall, and four miles above all improve
ments,).for $l4 l OOO, or $6OO a lot, or $B,OOO
per'aCre..' The report then adds, eillfr. SAN:
FORD owns on the north side of Seventy-ninth
street, eighteen lots, and also two lots on the
northeast corner of Seventy-ninth street and
Fourth avenue, twenty inall. For these twenty
lots he has been offered and refused $70,000, or
$3,500 per lot." It will be seen at a glance that
these lots are more than five miles from the
City gall, and two miles above all improve
ments, and the price offered and refused wasat
the rate of $66,000 ,per acre. November Bth,
seven lets oh One hundred and twenty-third
and One Hundred and twenty-fourth streets,
and Seventh avenue, (nearly seven and a half
miles from City Hall, four and a half miles from
all luiprovements,) at $570, $605, and $770
each, or about $ll,OOO 'per acre; four lots
on Fifty-fourth Street and Fourth avenue for
$B,OOO, or $2,000 per lot; thirty-four lots on
Seventy-third street
-and Third avenue, from
$l,OOO to $2,400, nearly five miles from the
City Hall._
' The above sales are but a few of the public
tulles reported , and then the reporter adds,
c , We bear of a great number of private sales;
but as the property is bought on speculation,
with a view to sell shortly at, au advance, the
pitrtiesdeeire that no report should bo made."
The above statement certainly shows a most
extrioidinary discrepancy between the prices
of real estate in Now York and Philadelphia,
which is wholly irreconcilable, except on the
grounds of difference of judgment among the
capitalists - of the respective cities as to the
Value, andsafety of real estate as an invest
ment.. Taking into consideration the near
proitimity of the business centre of New York
tolfrooklynj Williamsburg, and Jersey City,
:with their unlimited region of vacant grounds,
as well : as Itmfattthat those cities are about
as. easy' et access froni New York as West
Philadelphia is frortt our business centre, and
More accessible than Camden; and remember
,lng tbaervii keep regular pace with NOW York

Washington Monument.
It has always been desirable to have, in this
fair city of Philadelphia, a permanent tribute
TO WASHINGTON which would at MOO be
grateful memorial to him, and an ornament to
the place where the Declaration of Indepen
dence was signed, where the Constitution was
framed, where, during the two first Presiden
tial terms, the Executive Government trans
acted the weighty business of the young but
vigorous Republic. Large funds have been
collected for this purpose, which will be aug
mented, by public gratitude, to any desirable
extent, and a committee consisting of some of
the most respected, sagacious, and active mem
bers of our community, has been chosen, who
will carry out the desired object. We believe
that jOSEPIE HAITHISON, Esq., is Chairman, and
that SOHN SARTAIN, Esq., the eminent engra
ver, will officiate as Secretary. From this
main committee, at present , consisting of fif
teen gentlemen, a sub-committee of Ways and
Moans, five in number, has been appointed,
who will have to consider and to apply the
best and most expeditions means of immedi
ately starting the work. A capital basis of
action s is the possession of funds amounting
to $65,000, accumulating from various sources.
We suppose that this sum can be raised to
$lOO,OOO, and upwards, if necessary, by sub
scriptions within the city of Philadelphia.
Every citizen ought to feel honored, we aro
confident, in subscribing to a Sacred Fund like
this.
A short time ago, in noticing the recent ac
tion in this matter, we took leave to suggest
that the monument to be erected should be
produced by the test of competition—that,
instead of' an arbitrary choice being made by
any committee, the public at large should
have the privilege of seeing various models
and designs, by various artists, and deciding
the choice. No other newspaper expressed
this opinion. It had weight with the com
mittee, however, as the, result shows, and we
are glad to lnd that our suggestion has
prompted the adoption of the competitive
system.
The Committee, we understand, have thus
agreed upon three fundamental principles, viz :
1. That there be an equestrian statue of
General W . -marmot; erected in Washington
Square.
2. That It be open to the freo competition of
all the artists residing in the United States,
and to all the American artists abroad. Six
months' time to be given for artists to com
plete and send in their works.
8. That the best sketch, design, or model
will obtain the commission. The second best
shall have $5OO premium, the next $BOO, and
the fourth in merit the sum of $2OO.
The Chineee-American Treaty.
We have transferred to our columns today,
from those of the New York Times, what pur
ports to be, and what we bellel , e is, a full and
accurate copy of the Treaty executed, at Tien
tsin, on the 18th Juno, between the 'United
States,•represented by the Hon. Wrimax B
REED, and the Emperor of China, represented
by the Commissioners, Kwaianeo and HWA.
armee. This Is the best reply to the charges,
open and Insinuated, which tho London Times
has so impudently brought against Mr. REED.
He is ono of the last men In the world likely
to be made fc the cat's-paw of Russia," or of
any other Fewer.
Mr. Hutu was sent to China, not to play
into the bands of England, France, or Rus
sia, but to renew the expiring treaty between
the Chinese and the Americans. He was not
French 'hostilities against China. We be
,ileve he did his duty, fairly and manfully,
and, while he obtained a treaty hotter than
the former one, he also secured the advan
tages which China might concede to every
other Power. America goes in for extended
oommerce with China, and not for the cc an.
aexation " of territory, and it seems to us
that Mr. REED has exactly done what he was
sent to do.
Publications Received.
T. B. Peterson fr. Brothers have sent us what is
not a publioation, but a publication-holder. It is
a series of oases capable of holding magazines,
pamphlets, speeches, and such publications as are
issued In octavo size and under. These oases are
in book-form, and capable of holding any publica
tion as large as the Quarterlies. They graduate
in size, and range on a man's book-shelf just like
books, without occupying more space In future,
instead of your magazines and pamphlets being
soiled and getting dog's-ears by lying loosely
about, you transfer them, when read, to these
oases. where they will lie, Clean and neat, and
ready for access until they are needed for refer
ence, or until you desire to have them bound.
From the same publishers, we have got the

Important, Decision of the Supreme , • Court,
THOSILB Os. THIS 00t8T T OF AIZZOTIZHY-0411i10 11 ,
OF nn . JUSTICE WOODWARD.
' At u lite hour last night we received a - 000 of
the opinion of Mr. Justice Woodward in the ease
of Thomas vs. The Commissiorierre of the County
of Allegheny. We cannot find room for it at
'length this morning. The substance of the de
cision is contained in the dearer) of the court,
which is in the following words:
And now, to wit, November llth, 1858, this
cause came on for hearing, and was fully argued
fiy counsel, whereupon the court, after due con
sideration, do order and adjudge„thet: jadgMent
be entered on the demurrer for the relator,,and
that the respondents. commissioners of the county
of Allegheny, be, and they are hereby, commanded
at their next annual meeting for estimating the
probable expenses of said county, to make full
and ample provision in their estimates for rais
ing money to pay the interest' on the three
hundred thousand dollars of certificates of loan or
bonds in the aforesaid complaint of the relator
mentioned and referred to, which shall at that time
be due and unpaid, and that which shall become
due thereon in the year next ensuing such meet
ingof the said county commissioners, and to issue
their proper warrants to the collectors of county
rates and levies of the said county for the collec
tion thereof, as in and by the several acts of As
sembly in such cases made , and provided they
are authorized, and required to do, and' that
they cause to be paid oat of the treasury of said
county the costs of this snit.
The doctrine thus laid down fixes beyond all
cavil the legal liability of the county to pay the,
interest on its bonds; and the satisfaction arising
from such a result would be unalloyed, were it not
for the doubts thrown upon the question of the ulti
mate liability of the county for the whole of the
principal debt. Mr. Justice Woodward, in the fol
lowing °biter dictum holds out the idea that in a
suit in equity against the railroad companies, and
the bond-holders, the county of •Alleghany, would
be held liable only for the price at which the rail.
road companies sold the bonds of the county.
Prior to April, 1855, those companies were for
bidden to sell less than the par value, but -after
that period they were authorized to dispose of
them at seventy-eight cents on the dollar. We
have not time to discuss the fallacy of the pollen
taken by Mr. Justice Woodward, nor point out
the legal and practical diffloultlie is the way,of
pursuing snob , a remedy as be suggests. We really
believe, from reading the whole of hie opinion,
that the suggestion of a defence in equity is but
a tub thrown to the whale." The extract is as
follows :
But whilst we thus overrule the third plea, we
do not underrate the bin portanoe of the fasts there
in alleged. And we will not hesitate in a case of
so much public concern to express ourselves freely
in respect to them, without intending, however, to
commit the judgment of the court on any future
I question that may arise
We regard the allegations in that plea, if sus
ceptible of proof, as possible ground for an equita
ble defaleation, on behalf of the county against
the principal of the debt.
Let us contemplate then, a little, In this as
pect:
The stipulations that the bonds should - be sold
at par was not unreasonable. It was a becoming
expression of contidenee in the faith and ability of
the county, and was calculated to repress those
scandalous epeculationejof stook jobbers, which are
a disgrace of our generation, and which have ruined
many a meritorious enterpriee. The county had
a right to contract upon that condition, and she
did contract on that condition. She plighted her
faith on no other. She did not say she would pay
the bonds whatever they sold at, but if they were
transferred before the Bth of April,lBss, her lan
guage was that she would pay them if the purcha
ser paid the company their par value. If transferred
after that date, her language was, she would pay
them if the company received from the purchaser
seventy-eight cents on the dollar. Such was the
contract, and nothing more can be made of it.
And every bolder and receiver of the bonds had
notice at least of the first condition, for there on
the facie of the bond it was plainly said it wee
"given in pursuance of the act of Assembly of
the 24th of February, 1858." That act was a
public law, of whit& brokers and their customers
were bound to take notice, as well as other people.
In the bond there was an express referenoe to the
Act, and in the Act the condition was expressed
in unmistakable English. The object of the
Legislature and of the county was to promote
the building of a railroad down the valley of the
Ohio, which should remedy the inconveniences
that droughts and frosts occasion to river naviga
tion, and open a steady outlet for the immense
productions of the county to the great markets of
the South and West It was note scheme of mad
ness or folly, buts rational conception, and worthy
the helping hand which the county proposed to
lend it. Speculators should have taken notice of
these things, and should have heeded the leglela
rive guards which were thrown around the undeli
taking.
Suppose a father, willing to help a son in busi
ness, lends him his credit in any form of papa
that is not strictly negotiable, but stipulates on
the face ef it that the eon shall not sell at less then
par, and then stands by and sees him selling it at
a ruinous discount 'without object is there any
doubt that in a court of law, the father would be
held to pay the paper. principal and interest, cc
oording to its tenor? I think he would be a bold
lawyer who would deny it. Bat suppose the father
should go into a court of equity, and show the vi
olation of the conditions tinder whioh he contracted
and offered to pay or renew his paper for the
AMAMI amount the son had teeetved: .would rot
a ohanoolior ? Thtsls Notion which
commissioners arouse themselves from unworthy
dreams of repudiation, and bring the railroad
company and the holders of them bonds to an ac
count in a court of equity, and establish the foot
that these bonds were disposed of for less money
than the law enjoined, it would be a subject of
very serious consideration, whether the county
ought to be required to provide for them, or pay
beyond the sums actually received by the railroad
company. Why should she? In seeking equity
she would be obliged to do equity, bat would it
not be equitable to hove her obligation cancelled,
upon restoring to the unlawful purchaser the money
be bad paid? What more (mold such a pur
chaser in good consatence claim? May ho compel
the county, against the tenor of her bond, to
pay for that which neither she nor her beneficiary
received. On what principle? The negotiability
of the bonds? They are not negotiable instru
mentsirithin the law merchant; the seal spoils
that plea. Nor did we treat them as such in
Carr vs. Lefevre, 3d Casey 413. The bonds in
that ease were not. eounty bonds, butbends of a
private corporation, and the point ruled was, that
when payable to brave; they passed by delivery
and carried with him the right of action in the
name of the receiver. But no principle or decis
ion that I am aware of would necessarily exclude
an equitable defence to sash a debt as this, especi
ally if the purchaser is affected by oireumstances
of notice.
Or will It be said that having enforced payment
of the interest, the principal must be enforced of
course ? As well might it be argued that the law
having adjudged the right, equity is incapable of
restraining or modifying the remedy—a thing
which it Is the frequent office of equity to do. To
restrain proceedings at law is ono of the largest
heads of equity jurisprudence. The relator stand
ing in a court of atrict law demands the interest
that is nominated in his bond. However he ac
quired his bonds he is the "bearer," and as such
has the right to demand the interest. The cote
miesioners tender an equitable defence, but
we tell them this is not the time or place
to bring it forward. As long as they leave
the body of the seourities outatandiug and
unquestioned, they are incapable of making
the defence upon the Incidents. Equity even
should not deal with such a defence where the
suit was only for interest. Much leas the low.
But let the whole ease be brought into equity. and
it may be found that even-handed jostles will re
quire the county to make new reonalty for the
sums actually resolved by the company, payable
In 1885, with semi-annual interest. and the holders
of the bonds to surrender their bonds for cancel.
lotion on receiving that new sonority. Whatever
interest is paid meanwhile wilt easily admit of
equitable adjustment, when the final account
comes.
If this foreshadowing of a possible remedy
should lead to [Lotion on the part of the county,
she will not be at any loss for parties to sue, for
the railroad company is at hand, and every owner
of bonds will become known as his soasi•annual
interest is paid at the county treasury.
But if the county means to take no effectual ac.
Lion for her relief ; if ohs will drive her creditors
to sheer law, by refusing all performerdee of her
promises, she must ho judged by the law. Upon
the law the defence proposed cannot be rsetained.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 1858
The great evils in Washington are nepotism and
bureauooraoy. The first is the habit of crowding
whole families into office, and keeping them there ;
and the second, the habit of concentrating power
and patronage in the hands of the heads of se
condary departments to the exclusion of the
chiefs of the chief departments. It would amaso
you if some day I would furnish you with ,a list of
the families in office here, and of the manner in
which they "squat" into place, in every variety of
connection and of name. These are the aristocracy
of the town. Sometimes as many as six of one
family are in place. This is a growing evil here,
particularly since toadyism has grown fashionable
under the present regime.
The system of bureauooraoy is another abuse.
The jobs given out in the departments are gene
rally controlled by the subordinate chiefs. Some
of these have been in office for years, and exer
cise despotic control over the patronage in the
gift of Gni President. If you want a oontraot or
a job you have only to secure the Assistant Secre
tary and Chief Clerks to make your road easy.
Most of these heads of bureaus retire from office
very rich
Glancy Jones has returned to Reading a most
unhappy man. 1 was wrong in stating that under
the new diplomatic, bill he could not be paid till he
remitted Vienna. lie receives his salary from the
date of Me appointment, and may stay as long as
he pleases in old Berke, Uncle Samuel footing his
bills.
We have the news of Mr. Raskin's eleotion this
morning. This is a very bitter pill Mr. Pryor,
of the Richmond South, will now admit that your
Tarrytown speech did not entirely defeat your
friend Raskin.
Tb era is no doubt that the Southern people are
resolved against Walker's new raid upon Central
America. He has no sympathisers outside of a
set of filibusters and disunionists.
There is &rumor upon good authority that Score
tory Cobb will rosign his office if Mr. Bnohanan
makes any movement in favor of Pennsylvania
iron. There is no doubt that Mr. Cobb has been
talking very bitterly against any such assistance
to our great interests, and that Clayton, his sha
dow, has circulate/ his sentiments far and wide.
Whether the Secretary of the Treasury will go out
on such a question remains toba soon. Something
must be done for revenue, and Mr. Cobb must
show us the way to raiso it.
That the Southern statesmen will come to Wash
ington in December by no means pleased with the
position of affairs, I know. Look out for some
queer developments.
Messrs. Witte and Landy are again•here, and
have been operating for some days on the Secre
tary of the Navy, to induce him to give their es
tablishment a steam engine contract, notwithstand
ing they are the highest bidders. As these gen
tlemen have been very sucCessful daring the past
year, and as some of year numerous readers will
doubtless propose for the Norfolk steamer (bids for
which aro to be opened on the 28th), I cannot do
better than to give the rules that must be followed
to succeed • They must bo devoted followers of
the Chief Clerk (who holds his court from 8 to 9
A. M.) ; and having scoured his good will, then
arose over to the Chief Engineer. Ills views
are valuable, and they Can, after 3 o'clock P. M.,
consult him professionally, and obtain such in
formation as they need. These preliminaries having
been observed, they are safe, because the first se.
hots the board to decide on the plans, and the
latter presides at the board, and as be has it in
his power to order the members on unpleasant
duty, they yield to his arguments. You will call
this corruption, and perhaps bribery; but it is the
only way to succeed, and no establishment, how
ever responsible and experienced, can obtain a
contract unless they observe the rules. In a late
braid the plane of the beet New York shops were
thrown out, and a difference of $30,000 paid to an
establishment which had already obtained two
contrasts in succession by following the above roles.

VEB.—Prom what ye
the eetabltehment or Mr.
JAMES SPEAR'S ST
maw Ina recent vielt to
same. Spear, we know of no better epithet to apply to
him than a stove-making genius. Ile is certainly a
most prolific inventor, and,lehat cannot be said to be
toppled with genius in all oases, is that he has a happy
faculty for turning his prodnotions all to profitable ac
count. The various Armee of hie manufacture, several
of which have elicited much favorable Comment In the
newspapers, have the pare quality of being universally
popular.
Of his celebrated gee.coeeoming cooking stove for
which, we presume, he has now orders ahead for as
many as he can turn out for the next three menthe, we
have already spoken, and defined its several merits,
the chief of which, however we may again Mate to be,
that it may be heated to baking temperature with
greater despatch than any other etove we know of ,• and,
secondly, that the fuel ceneumed In the operation 14 less
than fifty per cent of what !annually required to obtain
the same remit in ordinary atures.
Mr. Spear has also r.cently perfected a gas-burning
heating stove, Silver's patent, for parlors, halls,
dining mane, officee, Joe., on a system no lens scientific
and complete than bin cooking stove. To many who
hove tried this celebrated parlor stove, its superior
heating qualities are well knowu ; what we here pro
ne/le to speak of, however, is the improvements made
upon it. In the old pattern of this stove, an thole
who have t led them are aware. the boles where the
air enters the cylinder to ignite the gas were liable to
brooms choked with dust and ashes, canning more or
lees inecnventence. In the improvement, however,
this d !Acuity is completely obviated by means of a !per
forated cast-iron plate, with elides to open and niece
at pleasure, which so clearly demonstrator the success
of the Improvemeot that an examination of live min.
rites cannot but convince any one.
Of his improved railway-ear heater and ventilator,
which we are glad to end le being generally Introduced
on all the best lines in the country, we have only
room testate that the great advantage which his recent
Improvement hoe over hie original invention is, that
the necessity for having two holes in the top of the
car le avoided by placing the mob!, pipe. inside of the
colthair pipe, by which means all the boat from the
smoke Pipe is carried down around the stove and forced
out at the bottom. The advanteges of this arrange
ment are manifold. In the first place, it renders the
oar secure from danger of taking fire from a bested
pipe; the screen placed in the month of the funnels
placenta avarice from coming into the ear ; further
more• it effectually 'ewes a uniform temperature all
over the oar, instead of, as by all other /5tOM. PO
sengere near the fire are erten roasting while those
farther removed are suffering from the opposite ex
tremity.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The tonnage over the Bohnylkill,AavigationrCom
pany,s works during the put week was 45,403, tons,
against 41,226 tons in the corresponding week of 1867 ;
a gain for the week of 4.177 torsi, and
_for the year of
15,545 tons. The Reading Railroad Company , ' tonnage
for the week won 85,740 tone; a gain for the week of
2,558 tons. The Reading Railroad Company's tonnage
thus far is 178,563 toad behind that of the same time
in 1857.
The improved tonnage of the Schuylkill canal had its
effect upon the stock and bonds of the company, which
improved at the stock market, and helped to strengthen
the improvement which was -experienced at the board.
Tee heavy deficiency in the tonnage of the Reading
Railroad Company, however, makes it hard work for the'
bulls to compass an advance in Its stock.
By one of those unaccountable accidents which at
tend upon the printing office of a daily newspaper, the
official letter of the president of the Philadelphia and
West Chester Railroad Company to the board of di,
rectors was omitted in our mirth of We morning.
We believe that there is a future of such success in
store for this railroad, as will make the Most trivia
matters in its dark and early history important and in.
targeting. It is pleasant, to recur in the day of pros.
parity to the darkness and gloom that preceded its
dawning, and we are, therefore, the mire particular to
the Philadelphia and West Chaster Railroad Company
The following it the letter alluded to : •
To the Board of Directors of -the West Chester and
Philadelphia Railroad Company.
Clerirtanons : On the 26th, of-July last, by order, of
the Board. I contracted with Me Richard Clark to
geode, ballast and lay the track on that portion ofyour
road which lies between Grubb , a bridge and West
Chester.
Mr. Clark will to•day have completed his contrail so
far as to enable the Maus of the compute to run trains
through from Philadelphia to West Oheeter regularly,
after to. day.
The road has been open for bualnese to the atreet road
the pant three weeks; Wnce then the receinta have
enormously increased. chewing that, when the oars are
running through to West Chester, the business of the
road will realise all that Its most sanguine friends ever
Dave anticipated.
It gives me pleasure to report that I have set
tled all the floating debt due by the company, with a
very trifling exception, and also amazed with the hold
ers of the first mortgeg coupons due on or before the
first day of -January. 1869. and holders of all the bonds
and coupons of the ten per cent. mortgage loan, includ
ing the lest coupons due April 1.1859, to exchange
their bonds and coupons for bootie tuned under the new
eight per cent. mortgage payable in 1818, and that this
exchange has - actually been consummated. By this
arrangement the company is nearly free of aU debt, ex
cept a bonded debt of one million -of dollars. of which
there remain unnegotiated over $lOO,OOO. The first in
terest on this debt is not payable until July,-1859.
I have also the gratification to state that John Thomas
and Joseph T. Thomas, trnatees and assignees, woo
have had the management of tberoad slime
by virtue of an assignment executed by the Board of
Managers at that time, yeeterday reeeaveyed to the
company the entire road and property.
This recionveyanee. which will be placed on record
to-day, was made under an order of court, the court
having been first satisfied that the general debts, and
unpaid coupons on mortgage bonds had been paid or
settled by the new bonds and that, therefore, the for
ther execution of the tr act under the assignment had
become useless. .

ENGRAVED rises.—WO yesterday, referred to
a beautiful
_specimen of erigrayeti ease; new In the
Franklin Institute exhibition, from the eatablishment
of Messrs. Robert Shoemaker & Co , northeast corner
of Fourth and Race streets. Yesterday we bad the
pleasure of examining, in their rooms, &variety of this
beautiful work. among which we were shown. speci
men fully equal, if not superior, in design to that al
ready referred to, executed by Messrs. B. & Co. for the
splendid new residence of ex-flherilf Melee, on Broad
street. The main features of_ this order hkei magniS
cent transom, gottm in their beat style. In its centre
is Implied, in graceful outline, a inspire sheaf of
wheat, on white enamelled glass, which wilt-be sur
rounded by a wide border of ruby on which is
engraved in wonderful Perfection a lartirlantrose
vine, which, when illuminated at night, will present to
the view from the opposite aide a very brilliant op -
pearance, the effect of light upon the engraved part
'bring to cause it to reflect in dazzlirg splendor all the
hues of the rainbow, whilst the effect upon the colored
and enamelled surfaces is to give it a tone of richness
unequalled by anything in use for vestibule purposes.
While in their eatablishment we examined-a greet
variety of work of this character _executed to order,
and now ready for delivery When we remember that
this engraving process in all the multiform designs—
and some of them are of a most difficult oharacter—ia
carried on by means of a_ rapidly revolving circular

Cant, it is really a matter of surprise how that the
most delicate' tandells, and even the Guest hair liner,
are executed with all the accuracy of a line engraving.
The only explanation of it is that it la the handiwork
of art, and as each we congratulate Messrs. Shoemaker

artists whose work is - not i'eurptissed anywhere In the

GREAT ECONOMY IN COAL —Mr. J. 9, Olark,
No. 1008 Market street, is the patentee and owner of en
improvement of Silver's celebrated patent a;r-tigh t
stove, which has rendered it one of the most.popular
stoves now in use. The improvement effected prevents
the accumulation of dust and clinkers, and really gives
double value to the invention" Those who hare given hie
stove a trial have expressed themselves in very decided
terms as to its superiority, and it is also stated that none
who have had a trial of the stove with Mr. aura Im
provement would ever boy one without it. Mr. Clark's
long experience as a practical manufacturer has thus en
abled him to produce an article which in point of utility,
melees than in beautyof design and elegance of finish,
possesses enviable reputation, which is well attested in
the immeose demand for them at his store;

sundry Imitations of this superior stove of -Mr Clark's
in the market, and would therefore 'advise our readers
to visit his store, No. 1008, before purchasing. An ex.
amination, we are sure, will convince the reader of the
truth of what we have here said of Mi. Mark' Saio7 .
