silks, fruits, Sic, and all in good ordcs,and
her papers and everv thing on board in
their propel places. When sounded, three
feet water was found in her huld, which
was immediately pumped; and it wag dis
covered that she" had no leak. A few poul

FOUNDRY.
A new Foundry has been erected in this
Soiongh, by the Messrs. Rohrbach. The
machinery is driven by a steam engine, from
tho manufactory of Haywood & Snyder of
Pottsvillc. 1 he roundry is located imme
diately on tho Rail Road, so that the coal
from Shamnkin can be deposited from the
ears at the mouth of the furnace, and in a
short time the iron will be furnished from
tho furnaces which are now being erected
in Shamokin, This will enable these gen
tlemen lo manufacture castings as cheap as
they can be made anywhere else. The
cheapness of coal and iron at this place,
renders it a most favorable location for all
kinds of iron manufactory. The castings
turned out by the Messrs. Rohrbachs are
neat and substantial, and we hope their en
lerpuze may meet with a proper reward
