The enlargement of the canal will he completed by the opening of navigation In 1865, from Columbia to the Miller*town dam, on the Juniata, a distance of fifty-nine znilea. Above that point, the locks wiU only be enlarged as they require rebuilding, until there is a reduction in the price of materials and labor* At the Miilerstown dam the railway and canal are close to each other, affording every requi site facility for transhipment of frieghts from the road to canal, an-l giving a full opportunity to test the capabilities of the latter work for the cheap transportation of heavy products. The westqm di vision of the canal, which has been & source of o >n* tinued expense to the company, may be abandoned upon the extension of the Western Pennsylvania Railroad to the Allegheny Talley Rsilroad. The whole income of the canals from the first of August, 1867, when they came into possession of the company—six years and five months—amounted to $1,393,196 11, all of which has been appropriated to their maintenance and improvement, except the sum of $9FT.396 21, an amount about sufficient to Zneet the expenditures upon them previous to the resumption of navigation in the spring. The canal department wiU then start with an enlarged canal upon its eastern division, and a portion of the lower junction, and with nearly the whole line east of the mountain regenerated. In its present condition, this portion of tbc property of the company may safely he estimated as worth $1,500,000. and should, here after, return at least an interest of six per centum, per ! annum upon that sum. The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was not opened throughout its length, as anticipated, by the mat of January last, owing to circumstances which that oompany could not control. This company has promptly supplied it with all the capital needed for the construction of the road, but the requisite labor could not be obtained. The completion of the line may, however, be confidently expected in July nest, The revenues derived by this company, under its lease, from those portions of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad delivered to it, have fully sustained the estimates of the board on submitting the contract With that company for your confirmation.

All of these expenditures have been met from the earnings of the road—an increase of $252,360.48 in the debt of the company, and a sale of leu than a half a million of the securities received from other companies. All the railroad companies claiming asiistance under the commutation act have received the amounts that they were respectively en titled to, except the Pittsburg and Steubenville line Which has been delayed in its expenditures in cousin -quence of its imperfect rights across the State of v ltginia. Since these have been determined the work has been steadily pushed forward, and will ba completed curing this year. The expenditwe of the commutation fuad as mighthave been anticipated, has involved, the*ne cessity of further advances to complete these lines to points that would render them serviceable to ♦he pubUo and Profitable to the company. In pursuance of this plan, the Ebensburg and Cresson Railroad lias been opened to EDeneburg, the Tyrone and Eear Bloody Bun. The Bald Eagle Valley and the Western Pennsyl vania Railroads have made such progress as to in. sure their completion before the close of this year— the first to the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad at Eock Haven, and the second to the Alleghany river opposite Freeport. These lines will not beimme' diately productive, but it is believed that nearly all ot them will ert-ctuaUy yield a direct profit upon the investments made in tneir securities.

I The contingent fund was established chiefly by placing in it the amount claimed by the State for tonnage duties, which was afterwards commuted into an obligation to expend this sum upon certain , railway* of other companies. This fund was to bo charged with these disburcemeats as they occurred, but the Increased traffic of the line in conieouenoA the closing of the markets on the Mississippi river for Western products, and other causes, seemed to justify the direct charge of these outlays to profit and loss, and increase the contributions to this fuud to the amount stated, and apply it to the objects and for the purposes already mentioned. The sinking fund established for the payment of the second mortgage bonds of this company, and those of the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad Company, the payment of which it has aisumed. amounts to $1,451,315.12. The securities pisaed in this fund have been so fortunately selected that they are now worth considerably more than twice their cost, and without farther additions—except ! the bonds of the commutation roads, (stace placed i IP S? •*“««?»>-« be auffioientto pay, at m«. ! ™ ith its own accumulations, the bonds for j which It was created. u * lor The semi-annual payment to the State of $230 000.

By continuing to pay this sum out of the revenues of the company as heretofore, there will i remain no other debt unprovided for, except the 1 first mortgage or $6,000,000, which can be continued , at a low rate of interest, in preference to its nav ment. * * \ The shareholders will doubtless feel gratified to I learn from this exhibit, that the directors have kept Readily in view their original reluctance to incur a ' debt for the construction of their road, and in pur- I euance of the policy indicated by their wishes, have i provided, at the earliest moment consistently with I the permanent interest of the company, for it* re- 1 duelion to a sum that all must admit can be main- j tained without any risk to the company. In presenting these gratifj ing results of the opera* tions of your road, it must not be forgotten that the causes Which have been largely instrumental in pro ducing them cannot long contiaue. Toe rail ways of the North generally, tinea the first year of there* belliqn, have greatly increased thair earnings. Those - Hi!® wmpwv have advanced from $5,362 355 21. (the year before the war oommenoed.) to $11,891,412 96, in 1863. This increase is chiefly in freight, the passenger busint s having increased but from $1,420,912 43 to $2,276,536 78, omitting the earn ings from transportation of troops- The increase in the money receipts from freight, for Obvious reasons, is great* r than the tonnage. The limit to the receipts or the company from east ward-bound traffic, during the continuance of favor able navigation on the Ohio river, has only been controlled by the amount of roiiiQg stock at its com mand. At all other period, the equipment has been am ple to meet the demands upon it. The revenue* of the company, during January of this year, show a large falling off compared with those of 1883, owing to the ice blockade of the Ohio river, and to the in terruption to the traffic of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railway Company. But we have not much expectation that the business of the road for the year will be materially lees Than last year. i The increase in the receipts of the company from ; freight being largely due to more remunerative rates j of freight, the decrease in its revenues, that maybe ; confidently looked for after the close of the war. will ; not affect the tonnage of the road in the same ratio, j The stimulus given to the • internal trade of the ! State, by the great demand that has existed for the ; past two yean for her products, added to the addi tional traffic that may be expected from the new : territory opened by the branch lines and extensions already made, and those that will be brought into use by the close of the year, will go far towards maintaining the tonnage of the main stem, which time must gradually continue to augment. The surplus profits of the company, and the dis position made of them, have already been referred to. They ate now represented by good securities, in the possession of the Treasurer. The Board, from prudential reasons, has heretofore declined to recommend a division of them, but it does not now see any sufficient reason for their longer retention. An extra dividend has, therefore, been declared of fiiteen dollars ($l5) on eaoh share of the present capital, as registered upon the books of the Com pany. February 15, 1564, which dividend shall be payable in the stock of the Company, at its pap value of fifty dollars ($5O) per share. The additional thus created to be dated May 2,1864. and be entitled to dividends payable in November next, and thereafter of same amount semi-annually, as the present stock of the Company. The certificates of stock for the extra dividend, to be delivered to stockholders on and after May 2, 1861. The directors feel much gratidcation in renewing their expression of unabated confidence in the intel ligent, efficient, and faithful services of the heads of the several department instituted for the manage ment of the business of the Company, their officers and employees generally. For more detailed information in relation to the operations of the road, the shareholders are referred to thereportsef Enoch Lewis, general superinten dent, W. H. Wilson, chief engineer, and J. P.

Most of the members of this regiment who re-enlisted were simply accredited to the city ol Philadelphia on the regiment’s muster roU, thereby depriving them from receiving any of bounties, while new men from all portions £ * re btaught here, leeruited, and receive both the city and ward bounties. Is this just and right 1 Will any one deny that a veteran is worth two raw recruitsl Then why sbosld the latter re ceive from the city fifty dollars more than the for mer?

Those of the Io6thwho re enlisted and b.SfP® on a 35-days furlough, never received their city bounty until last Saturday afternoon, a few hours previous to the time when their furloughs expired. Is it any wonder that there are to many •cowling faces, hard words and harder thoughts, amoDg our re-enlisted soldiers here in the city? Is the paltry sum which they receive to be kept from i them unta the last moment previous to their depar ture hence, probably to return no more?

THE POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman Beitler. J Alleged Shoplifters. Three women, giving the names of Lizzie Max* well, Mary Martin, and Kate Markle, had a final hearing yesterday at the Central Station on the of shoplifting. The arrests were made by Officer Cullom, of Chief Rugglea’ force, on Satur day for lifting a shawl at a store on Second street. The houses of the defendants, or some of them, were searched and a considerable amount of goods were found and taken to the Central Station. At the tearing yesterday afternoon, Mr. John BC. Stokes, the proprietor of a store on Arch street, identified a piece of oalico, containing thirty-three yards, stolen from his store on the 25th of January. He thinks he saw two of the defendants at hia store about the time of the robbery. A lady who keeps a store on Second street, whose name we did not hear, identified several shawls that were stolen from her establishment on last Monday week. The defendants were committed in default of 000 bail to answer at court. The good* recover ed constat of a great variety of shawls, dresses, &c., which remain unreclaimed at the Central Station. These and other goods ought to be care fully kept, so that moths may not get into‘them, and then sold, as the law directs, by auction, to the highest bidder. Alleged Larceny. A young man was arraigned yesterday afternoon,' at Jhe Central Station, on suspicion of having stolen a watch from Mr. Geo W. Watson. It seems that the proseoutor had visited a public house known as the Bugle. It is alleged tbe defendant took the watch from him, while In there, on Tuesday night.

One of the witnesses testified that, lor filling, he gave her something that looked like coarse snuff. She re monstrated with him, and he replied, “that if she did not like it, shejnight dear out.” Another witness testified that when she found out that she was about being humbugged, as she thought, and expressed herself slightly to this effect, ke threatened to “throw her out of the window.” . othM witness, whom be pronounced as a per* itnro , . eg i? r ‘ ID4her ’ made application for work at » employed, and in half an hour it was dcslredartide 4 not know k° w the ftt^ t » r iSSISS un,e y i 5? ■“named up, the alderman, fendBmt - nfl? 4 ni?rt of v Ir * XJassidy, bound the de* alfswfrit cmirt charge, in the sum of $6OO to beawraon Sr *ny K»e alley?
