The propositiou for the sale of the Pub lic Works, has had a favorable effect on the state stock in the Philadelphia market. The day after the passage of th 3 bill ha d been a nnounced, five per cents,which were sold the day previous at $4O, rose to 45. and before the board closed some sales were made f0r.,546. This indicates something more than confidence in the State stock: it shows with what avidity the stock spec ulators would seize on the public improve *Dents, and how eager they are to grasp the stupendous works that have cost the peop'e so much to construct. It will ly3 an unfortunate day for Pennsylvania, when the main line of her improvements is sur rendered into the bands of a corporation, for not a tithe of what they have cost, and leave the balance of our imimense debt to be wrung from the peorle by taxation. A corporation, with the control of our Canals and Rail Roads,will rule the State. It will, like the U. 5: Bank—only with more power to accomplish its purpose— declare open hostility against the State. if its wishes should be thwarted, & if the ex ecutive and Legislature u - nu!d have virtue enough to l reject its bri`)es.thay would have to meet its vengeance. To talk about rog. ulating such a corporation by law is all idle. Experience has shown that a legia. lature is unequal to the task of regulating a banking institution , or if they do make laws for such a put pose, they are never en. forced. How, then, would they regulate a corporation with all the power and pat ronage of four hundred miles of public ims provernents to influence legislationl It is folly to suppose that any restraint could he placed on such a corporation.

Its location, as described, presents all the facilities so des airable to the traveling public, but the sur passing comforts and conveniences to be found there, must be experienced in order to be appreciated. The house is constructed upon a plan entirely new in this country; every room presents a convenient parlour by day, and a large and well ventilated bed room by night. The price of each room is fixed according to its location and size, and de scends as they approach the roof. The fea ture in the management of the Franklin House, which distinguishes it from all the hotels of its class in the country, and gives it as we think, a decided advantage, is its "Restaurant," where the, guests can be supplied with meals at any hour from 7 o'clock in the morning till 12 at night; and can regale themselves upon the simplest fund or the rarest delicacies to be found in the market, just 83 they feel disposed. 1 1 Upon entering the "Restaurant," the, visiter observes about three dozen mall tables, sot out in the most neat and elegant style: A bill of fare, (one of which can he seen at our office,) is handed him by a clean, well dressed white waiter. He concludes to make a breakfast on Coffee, Bread, Butter and Shad, and in three min utes the articles prepared in the best possi- We manner arc before him. He asks the 'I clerk of that part of the concern for his' bill, which is as follows: Coffee— 10 cts. Bread Sr., Butter-5 cis. Shad— 15 cts.-- 30 cents. This being paid, he seeks his business or his pleasures. He returns when it suits him to dine, and is certain of finding a warm, well cooked meal at any time.— And if he should not return to dinner at all, ho doss not have it to pay for.
