THOS. PHILLIPS a WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1845 Cast sr. Tot ts.—Tbe increasing avenues of compe tition that are yearly opening around us, cause all who feel an interest in the success of our public works, to desire to see a system of Tolls adopted that will en able us to compete with any other route. It is demon_ 'treble that the tolls charged for some years passed have driven into other channels vast amounts of pro duce that would naturally have passed over the Pennsylvania improvements, if the costs of transpor tation_ had been as moderate as those charged by other routes. What is passed is lost; but if our excellent Canal Board will for the future pursue the only course by which we.can keep ahead of the gigantic guides of our competitors. all will yet be well, and the Penn sylvania Route may bid defiance to all its rivals. An intelligent writer on this subject, in the Penn sylvanian of the 28th, gives a comparative statement of the amount of Produce transportation from the west, by the Pennsylvania route and the New York route, and shows that if it Were not fur the high tolls sharged . upon our improvements, the amount of busi ness for the last season would probably have been treble what it was. He sets forth that by the report of the Collectors at Albany and Troy, there was left at these places, by ale canals, western productions to the amount of 1.095,000 tons, valued at 835,000,000; and that there returned to the west by the canals, 208,000 tons of eastern supplies, valued at $52,000,000. It appears also by the returns of the Collector of Buffalo, that there a: rived there from the west, a ton nage of 193.000. It appeant by the report of the Collector at Havre, de Grace, that there passed out of the Tide Water Canal, a tonnage of 172,000, of which 3,000 pattied, the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, .inippo..aed fur Philadelphia. It appears by the returns of the Canal Commission ers of Pennsylvania, that there arrived at Philadel phia by the Columbia Railroad, a tonnage of 51,000 which added to 30,000 by Tide Water Canal will make a total of 81,000 ; and that there was shipped from Pittsburgh by tke Canal, a tonnage of 40,000. It appears also that there passed to the west by the Columbia road, a tonnage of 43,000, and that there arrived at Pittiburgh a tonnage of 90,000. It appears by returns made at Cincinnati, and con firmed by statements at New Orleans, that there was shipped in 1844, from Cincinnati for New Orleans, If we take off the 193,00 tone received at Buffalo. only one hairier ahipcnents Cleveland, in Ohio, we shall ha va 97,000 " 190,000 190,000 tons of produce from two roints alone of the whole State of Ohio, all which might be carried to Philerielphit by canal end railroad, if the tolls were lowered to a rate which would allow the carrier to transport from Akron, the point at which the Penn sylvania and Ohio Canals meet, to Philadelphia, at a inss expense than to New York by the lake. The saute rate of tolls would secure the trade from Ci ncin- 1 Old and Louisville, by Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, sad thus, by securing the northern exports of Ohio to 'she Philadelphia market, and southern exports also, we may soon seen flood of business springing out of theimmense surpluses oftbo zest and fertile regions asf Ohio, Kentucky, western Virginia, and part of In diana, all which now run into New York, because we sit upon an expensive work, asking a high rate of in terest and receive nothing. Our tolls on western pro duce from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia vary from $3 to 46 per ton. We receive 51,000 tons. The tolls on the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany are at the highest rate $3,50 per ton, and they ,receive at Albany and Troy 1,095,000 tons. Would it not be better for Pennsylvania to take $2 a ton toll, fr.m Pittsburgh, and receive 3 or 400,000 tons annually, than to persist in charging a rate of $3 to $6, and re-; strive only 40.000 tons? In suggesting the tolls at $2 a um, the charge for motive power and trucks is not included, but it is thought that that might be reduced to the actual cost. This is a matter of great importance to out state at the present time, and it is now that the effort should be made to establish the superiority of the Pennsylva nia route over all others. This can be done by our Canal Board pursuing a liberal poky in fixing the Mils ate rate that will make it manifest to shippers that ours is not only the shortest and most conveni isat tune, but also the elleapese. WHIRS YALU/TING THEIR PREDICTIOXB.-/U all the eastern Buttes, previous to the election, the great electioneering hobby with the whigs was the certain destruction of our manufacturing interests if Mr Pulk should be elected, and all the whig manufacturensde- Glared that in that event ; they would close their estab lishments and discharge their workmen. This was their strong argument. Thej knew that employment was necessary with the poonto enable them to get food and clothing for their families, and by threatening to deprive them of this they expected to induce them to vote against their honest convictions of wLat should be their duty as American citizens. Many were no doubt coerced by this kind of artrument to vote for the fede.' 'nil candidates, but they were not sufficient to defeat! the candidates of the people. Polk and Dallas were .elected despite the threats, falsehoods and Roorbacks I of theenemies of democracy, and all who gave any ere - 'dance to their predictions of panic and pressure, expect. tad that the fi.ctories would be closed immediately and that thousands of workmen would be turned out of - employment. But those who looked for such a verifi- --cation of whig promises have been disappointed, and I , all now understand that.the atoms were only made for affect, and that the intelligent whigs themselves believe '.that the manufacturing interests of xite xounuy will be as prosperous under Mr Polk's administration and as isoresly protected, as it a ould have been goder that of Mr. Clay. This is proven by the conduct of the Massachusetts Mansfecterers. We observe in the proceedings of the Legishitare, the application of ABBOTT LAW ItZNCE , a leading whig alarmist, and a number of others, for an act of incorporation for manufacturing purposes. Lawrime is one of the most wealthy and influential of the New England whip, and was zealously engag ed in the late contest in endeavoring to convince the working men in the Factories that if Col :Polk was elected, the manufacturing interests of the country would be de s triyed, sad they would be all discharged from employment. His present application to the Legislatu7n iioas bow false he considers the argu.. meats he then used to cheat the people out of their votes, and bow certain he now feels that under the democratic administration, the minufacturinginterests of the country will prosper. or The New York Mirror says, that the best. A madeu authors are employed in writing for the Month• ly Magazines, because the booksellers will not pay for the copy-right of books.

FROM NlKatco.—Further intelligence from Mexico has been received at Now Orleans via Havana. On the 30th of December Santa Auna was at Ayotia, a small village a short distance this side of the capital.— It will be recollected, says the N. O. Picayune,. that the latest communication from him to the Government was dated at Huehuetoca, Dec. 26th. The change of position is thought to strengthen an impression previ ously eatertained that be will endeavor, in case of fail ure_ befOre the capital, which the letter writers appear to tlibek ineritable, to fume his way to Vera Cruz, thence 0:). escape by sea when he finds the game is all up i-Aviahim A — priitate letter from the city of Mexico, received at Havana and dated dio 28th of Dec., states that the force under Santa Anna exceeds 10,000 well appoint ed troops, and yet the writer is confident that this large command cannot avail him. The capital is de fended by 20,000 men, of whom 12,000 are regular troops, and 8000 belong to the National Guard. Many families had left and were leaving the city, however. from fear that it Would be bombarded. Resident for eigners were diligently fortifying their houses, in con sequence of a report that Santa Anna had promised his troops that, in case they should be able to take the! city, he would give it up to them to be sacked. MURDER is A Lasst.—Charles Goodrich, repre sented as belonging to the class "rowd)," the son of an honest and worthy mechanic of Albany, last Friday night accosted two Irish girls in the lower part of the city, and, offering indecorous salutations, be received from one of them named Bridget Carty, a blow on the Face—whereupon, without other or further provoca tion, he plunged a bowie knife or dirk directly into the heart of the girl, from the effect of which she died on the spot. Goodrich has been indicted some three or four times fur &ionic& conduct—and as he is now in custody for this wanton murder, it is hoped that such provision will be made ■s to secure the community from any further outrages he may think himself called upon to commit. 93,000 tons OREGON.—Somebody has said that the American goes forth with his"tute and his newspaper," to fall the forest, and people the wilderness with intelligent freemen. The emigrants to ORICGON are no doubt well provided with axes, and they will soon hare the other grand requisite to the success of their enterprise in the shape of a newspaper. Last week, one of Hoe's best printing presses, with type. printing•ink, paper, etc., was (hipped from New York for a paper to be established in Oregon. The paper is so be conec ted with the Missionary station there. We look with moch interest to the action of Con g less on them-cum*, ion of Oregon. We should he glad to see a bill passed extending the la% s of the United States over this valuable ter.itory The sooner it is done the better for our country. and for the adventu• roes men who have already taken up their abode in Oregon, and who are anxious to be taken uuder the protecting care of our glorious institutions. THE FISH Aoaist.—The New Bedford Mercury says that two fishing vessels from Greenport, arrived there from an unsuccessful fishing cruise off Norman's land and the adjacent waters. They report that no fish cJuld be obtained; the waters appaered discolored to a dine yellow, and the shores was covered with deed fish, which had been washed upon them with the tide. How are we to account for the discoloration of the water ; unless it arises from some volcanic erup tion; throwing up sulphur and gas, which have de stroyed the fish. It appears that the infected water is coming into Long Island Sound." ATTEMPT TO LIDERATE BIG THUNDER.—The Al bany Argus says, that in secret session of the Senate, the following facts appeared. Russell G Dcrr, su- I preme court commissioner residing at Hillsdale, Loan ed a writ of habeas corpus, requiring Boughton or Big Thunder, to be brought before him, and that cause be shown why he should not be admitted to bail.— The writ was placed in the hands of the Sheriff of Columbia on Tuesday night. Upon being apprised of the facts, the Governor removed Dori, his official term having expired, and appointed Thomas R Baker, of Hilllsdale, supreme court commissioner in his place. The Senate at once confirmed the nominatior of Ba ker. The Attorney General proceeded forthwith to Hudson with a supersedes,. So that this plan to lib erate Boughton on bail, or as some believe to erect his rescue, will be frustrated. Escape of Mr Navarro.—We do not know whei we have been more rejoiced than on seeing our old friend and companion, Jose Antonio Navarro, in our office yesterday, safe and sound once more and thus far on his way to Texas, after undergoing some three years' incarceration in the vilest and most loathsome prisons of Mexico. After the breaking out of the pre. sent revolution he managed to erect his escape from Vera Cruz, or gather from the castle of San Juan de Ullue near that city, and although lame, has finally been enabled to reach this place. We are in possession of the full particulars of his escape, but do not give them from the fear of implicating others. Mr Navarro, it may be collected, accompanied the first Texan Santa Fe expedition as one of the com missioners, was taken prisoner, and afterwards coin pelted to undergo the horrible privations e and ri of' gF ik the long march to the city of Mexico. At the b - int out of the Texas revolution he lOW Sen a e in the Mexican Congress from the States of Coahuila and Texas, but being a strong liberalist, and in favor of republican principles as they are carried out in the United States, he joined the Texans and was one of the signers of the declaration of independence. When Sante Anna, more from the trouble and experise of I keeping them, than any humane motives, released the i Texans in captivity, he retained Mr Navarro to gratify a mean personal spite but good fortune at last open- i ed a door for his escape, and it is now far from im probable than the tyrant himself may soon be made to partake of the same imprisonment he has so inhu manly and unrighteously awarded to others. If the ;full measure of justice is meted out to him be will not escape so lightly. .. Mr Navarro now appears in good health, and in ex cellent spirits of course. Be thinks the chances of Santa Ana's regaining his power extremely slender, at , the feelings' of both men and women, old and young, are universally against him, and cries of vengeance and threats of "down with the base tyrant" are beard from every mouth. Of the treatment he bas himself received, from eve- After pondering carefully over the papers received in this city on Monday from Mexico, some aditional gleanings from which will be:foutul in another column, it must be confessed that it is as difficult to form a pos itive opinion upon the result of the war now waged there, as it was when we had but glanced at some scat tering files. When one regards the enormous numer ical superiority of the party supporting the Acting Government of the forces of Santa Anna; when he con siders how simultaneously, and unanimously, and ap parently without pre -concert, the Departments have de clared against him; it would appear impossible that the tyrant should maintain his position for a day He has nut a point upon which to fall back in case of defeat; be controls not a foot of territory save that occupied by his armed forces; and, what is of more consequence, the sinews of war, all the revenues of the country, are at the disposition of his foes. From the Pacific coast of Mexico, Gen Paredes commands all the revenues which may accrue from the customs. On the Gulf, Vera Cruz, Tampico and Matamorasare subservient to the administration of Gen Herrera, and from these sources of supply Santa Anna can derive no suppost.— It may be recollected that in one of the former civil convulsions of Mexico, this single advantage of coo- trolling the reveueles of the nation was one great cause which gave Santa Anna his ascendancy over Bum. mente, whose army, in abandoning him, were in great measure influenced by his inahilty to pay them. Viewed in these various aspects, the position of' the arrogant dictator, who Ca- years has lorded it over this beautiful land with the wilfulness of an Eastern satrap, would seem utterly desperate. But lie puts the boldest front upon the matter; be even beards his enemies, and makes them tremble in their shoes at the mere rumor of his approach. We cannot know what is his present numerical force, but it is manifest that the tyrant is not I startled at the desertion of Constar, who has taken 1 with him a command of over three thousand men. He has marched down upon the capital, and the Acting President of the Republic, and the commander in chief of the forces under Congress, bold parley with him. They entreat him to spare the effusion of blood, and guarantying his personal safety, conjure him to yield himself to thejudgment of Congress upon his acts. lie replies disdainfully, and insists that Herrera shall at once surrender to him his proper authority, and he bucks his demand by pointing to the army which sup ports him. In the meantime, Herrera and Bravo are preparing fora siege of the city; they are throwing ob structions in the path of the usurper; they are calling upon the nation, upon thecitizens, and upon the army, as late as the 24th of December, to unite to resist the advance of Santa Anna. Brit this may be but from a patriotic and commendable desire to prevent onneces- I eery slaughter, while Santa Anna's bolder course may have been dictated by a sense of the desperate extremi ty in which he is placed. This is the view taken of it by the most intelligent of the editors of the capital. who write of his audacity as springing from an excess of frenzy amounting almost to insanity. It will be borne its mind toa;that Pare. des is advancing from Jalisco by forced marches, for the protection of the capital, at the head of • strong force It may be that the generals shut up in Mexico await but his arrival to begin the offensive. It they are true to each other and the Government, and their their troops stand by them, we see not how Santa Anna can save himself from destruction upon the first efE)rt whi:h may be made to overwhelm him. But if they stand still and give him opportunity tots mper with the soldier y,and with some leading officer* who have shown themselves more solicitous of personal aggrandize, Merit Than the welfare of their country, it will go hard if he dome yet retrieve the fortunes of the day. Still his prospects appear desperate indeed. In no other country than Mexico could he hold out for an hour ; nor should we be surprised to bear, by the next arrival, that be had been ignominiously shot in the streets of the capital. We doubt if he possesses the magnanimity tc yield to his fate, so far as to avoid the effusion of blond by abrogating voluntarily his assumed powers : and we feel assured that should he triumph, his victory will be most sanguinary and disastrous in its results. We hope for better things, and feel con fident, even should he regain possession of the city, that he cannot hold his power long. The inhabitants of Mexico cannot and will not live long under such grievous misrule. [N. 0. Picayune. THE ALBANY DEFALCATION The Commercial Bank of Albany will lose about $30.000 by its late Teller, Alexander H Lovett; but the means of the Bank will not be impaired, though the stockholders have lust the surplus accumulated beyond their capital,and will have to forego the semi. annual divided of four per cent which the Bank was about to declare for the Ist of March next. The loss by the defalcation of the former Cashier, Bartow, was one hundred and seventy-eight thousand dollars, all of which the bank was enabled, by March 1841, to re place, and thereaftet to resume the payments of half yearly dividends. The Poll ,wing account of the discovery of the affair, the Albany Atlas states, is from a source to be relied on: Information having been given to the Bank on Wednesday, (or the first time, that the habits of the man were not good,and that a certain immoral connec tion subsisted between him and a woman of equivocal reputation, the Directors forthwith instituted an ezena 'nation of the cash and condition of the Bank. Find• ing that the hour of accountability bad arrived, the Teller asked the Cashier to allow him to speak with him in private; and then confessed to the Cashier that he had robbed the bank of about forty thousand dul lan. Ile said he was a defaulter for four thousand abl la rs in 1835, at the time of Bartoves delinquency: that be had continued his speculations and embezzle- ment of the funds of the bank from that time to the present day; and that be had (or some time been a ware that his guilt must soon be detected, on which account he had for the last three weeks carried a load ed pistol about his person, with which he intended to destroy himself in the last resort. On being questioned as to the manner in which he contrived to elude the vigilance of the Directors and officer,' of the Bank, particulary on the occasions of the frequent examinations of the cash on hand, he stated that his daily statements in the 'Teller's Book' were all forged, so as to conform with the memoranda of his deficiency, which he kept before him, and made to equal the amount abstracted; and as the examina tions of cash were periodical, he bad been able to as certain the day appainted, and then borrowed from ' different parties such anaounts as he needed to make up the sum required; and, had at times, applied the contents of certain packages of money in his charge, not then the property of the Bank, inasmuch as not yet accredited to the owners, so that the cash 'as ex amined and counted by the Board of Directors, on all occasions of examination actually confirmed with the balance of Cash and Ledger, within a small and un- , important amount. He said it was impossible alor any one, however sus picions or vigilant, to detect his delinquency, nnleu by an unexpected and thorough examination of the whole funds in his charge; and that he took care to manage his slisbursments in so cautious and secret a way, as to elude suspicion. Also, that be had been for along time a speculator in the Lottery; although he thought his gains in that baleful and ruinous enter• prise had, on the whole, equalled his kisser. He could not tell what had become of the immense sums embezzled, and said for a long period that he had been most wretched and unhappy ; that he had quently determined to confess his guilt to the Cashier, and then commit suicide ; but his courage had failed him. At this point of his confession be made a des perate attempt to shoot himself through the head with a pistol which he drew from his pocket, and was with great difficulty disarmed. After the cash had been thoroughly examined, the emulate( loss ascertained, and an assignment made voluntarily by the Teller of all his property and effects to the Bank, be was duly committed by the Recorder of the city, and gives in charge to the Sheriff, to be proceeded against according tolaw. On Friday he was bailed out on the responsibility of his brother, on the petty consideration of $2,500. Irr A proposition has beau brought before the Sen ate of Alabama, to provide for the trawler of the assets of the State Bank and branches to a compaity, which, in consideration of its transfer, agrees to pay the debts and liabilities of the Stu,. MIM SANTA ANNA. BY LAST NIGHT'S MAI In the to-day, the Hon Dixon H Lewis qualified and took his seat as se:num-elected by the legislature of Alabama, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon William R King. The Hon James Semple also qualified as Senator elected by the legistature of Illinois, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the deathjof the Hon Samuel M'Roberts.— The most important business which occupied the at tention of the Senate, was the post office bill; which, after some discussion, was postponed till to-morrow. The House was occupied the principal part of the day in receiving reports from the standing committee, among which were several original bills, and bills which had been referred to them for consideration; all of which were disposed of in the usual form. After wards the States were called on for resolutions, a number of them were offered, some being adopted.and o:herelaid over under the rules on notice of debate. Globe, January 28.

A Neat Hit.—'Long John" of Illinois, in a letter to his paper at Chicago, gives the following neat bit at the "letter writers" about Washington city. "They have a new way of advertising bere. A man wants his tavern praised. Accordingly, he gives& let ter writer $5 and he writes to some New York. Bos ton or Philadelphia newspaper that 'Col Polk, Presi dent elect, has taken looms at Hotel."

So the matter goes even to milliner shops. in each of which hangs a bonnet 'engaged to Mrs Polk.' And it takes $5 to get a letter writer to tell of it. Indeed, it takes $5 and no more to reach any of this profession. For this they will put an eloquent speech in any man's mouth. For this, put him Cul Polk '• Cabinet. For j this, give him a foreign mission. For this, pet up I Cul Polk at his tavern. For this, make Col Polk buy a hat at a particular store, &c. Ste. The magic num- i bet is $5.
