Mr. Dobbins, of Philadelphia county, ottered,
in his place in the House of Representatives,
a resolution instructing- the Standing Com
mittee on Inland Navigation and Internal
Improvements to enquire into the expediency
of the resumption of the Pennsylvania Sec
tion of the Delaware and Hudson Canal by
this Commonwealth. In prosecuting this in

relative both to the expenditures upon the
section in construction, superintendence and

Answer to the interrogatories were not re

After the presentation of this report the
Tt,x ne RoTirpr.nnfnf'vP- mlnntml the follow-
. .v-ww J 1
ing resolution, to wit :
" Resolved. That a Committee of three be
appointod, who are hereby authorized and
empowered to sit after the adjournment of the
Legislature, at such places as they shall
o -
deem expedient, to take testimon and gen
crally to investigate thc ffair of the Dela
aioarc and Hudson Canal Company, with ref
erence to the resumption of that work by the
Commonwealth, and to report to the Legisla
ture. The said Committee are hereby au
thorized to send for persons and papers, and
to administer oaths.''
It will be perceived that this resolution was
carefully drawn that it does not confine the
investigation of the Committee to the cost
and profits of the Pennsylvania section of the
canal but, requires a general investigation
! of the affairs of the Company. It is to be
expected, therefore, that many points 0
creat interest to individuals as well as to the
Commonwealth will be broached and devel
oped in the course of the examination ; ant
it has been intimated in certain quarters that
an effort will be made to establish the allega
, tion that the Company has, by misconduct,
i forfeited all its rights and franchises, and can
legally and equitably be entirely dispossess
ed.
t It is understood that the committee of In
vestigation will meet in Ilonesdale on the
twenty-fifth day of June, and, after finishing
its labors here.,will proceed to Carbondale.
; John jM. Reed, Esq. of Philadelphia, has been
retained as counsel for the Company.
The Company and thc Internal Improve
rnent Committee of the Legislature are wide
; apart m their respective computations.
j While the Committee assert that the Pennsyl
vania section of thc Canal has re-imbursed
its total cost with interest, the Company avers
that, according to its books, thc work has not
kept itself in repair, saying nothing about
thc original cost of instruction and the in
tcrest upon the investment. This difference
of computation is accounted for in part by the
fact that the Company contends that in esti
mating the revenues it is not to charge tolls
jipon its own coal or other freight, while the
Committee insists that tolls are to be compu
ted upon all property passing along the ca
nal and also in part by the fact that the
Company contends that if the state resumes
it must reimburse the cost of the enlarge
ment, while the Committee insists that as the
enlargement was undertaken and prosecuted
without authority of law, and asthe Company
has manifested from the begining a delibe
rate and settled design to defraud the state of
its equitable interest in the canal, the cost of
the enlargement cannot be allowed. Here

rightly determining ; and if we were ill pos

The southern delegates afterwards agreed
upon what was called a plan of separation,
and a southern convention held on their re
turn home, resolved to establish a separate
organization; but the nortern conference,
which had possession of the funds, refused to
give any share of them to that division of the
church, which now became known as the
South Methodist Church. After this refusal,
Southern commissioners were appointed by
the General Conference (South) to institute

The American CoialriljiiIioEa.
We jrivc below an extract of a letter from
an American gentleman in London to his
friend in Washington respecting the portion
of the Grand Exhibition which has been con
tributed by our countrymen, and the compar
ison which it bears with the contributions of
other countries. The view which he presents
is not pleasant indeed it is rather mortifying
to our national pride but it is from an hon
est and intelligent source, and, though unpal- '
atable, the bitter may prove wholesome : ;
" The importance of this Exhibition has
been greatly underrated by us. The Europ- !
can display will be costly and magnificent be
yond description. Some single individuals
have gone to an expense of .10,000 in the ar- 1
ransrement and display of their goods. If our
Goverment had granted as many dollars to
tne oDjcci, we mignt nave maue a creunaoic
appearance. As it is, tne American portion
will bear an appearance ot stinting andmean
ncss not very flattering to our national vani
ty. The articles, now that they are in the
building, are found to be insufficient to fill
the allotted space, and a considerable portion
of it has been resigned to other countries. I
fear we shall be very badly beaten; and I ad
vise any one who intends comming here in
the expectation that this Exhibition is going

To Make Beer. Take one pint of
corn and boil it till soft, add to it one pint
of molasses and one gallon of water; shake
them well together, and sot it by the fire,
and in twenty-four hours the beer will be
excellent. When all the beer in the jug
i.s used, just add more molasses and wa
ter. The same corn will answer for six
months, and tho beer will be fit for use,
in twelve hours, by keeping the jug which
contains it warm. In tho absence of mo
lasses, sugar or honey will answer in Its
place. In this way tho whole in making
a gallon of beer, will not cost exceeding
four cents, and it is better and more
wholesome than cider. FauMing (Miss.)

should sink deep into the minds of all.
The Great Exhibiton.
Tho Secretary of thc American Commit
tee, Mr. Kennedy, received by the last steam
er a copy of the "Official Catalogue of the
Great Exhibition of thc Industry of all Na
tions," published by authority of thc Pvoyal
Commission. This Catalogue is printed in
quarto form, and contains 320 pages, close
print in double columns.
The contributions arc from all the civilized
nations of the earth from the Yellow Sea,
the Burumpootra and the Ganges in the East,
to the Mississippi, in the West; from Aus
tralia to California and their number is al
most incredible. We shall recur to the list
hereafter, to give our readers some better
idea of thc vast array. Thc London Time?,
in announcing the opening of the Exhibition,
happily and justly says: "This is the first
morning since the creation that all peoples
have assembled from all parts of the world
and done a common act. Happily, that act
ia an act of peace, of love, and religion."
