The Progress of Migration ts America._The Abolithonists as remarked by many observers of passing events, that if the indivi- duals who call themselves abolitionists, hod never meddled with the subject on which they have displayed so much zeal, there could be but little doubt that slavery would, be fore now, have been completely eradicated from one or more of the slave States. We are not inelined to deny the possible correctness of this opinion; indeed, we think it very probable that had the individuals referred to ben engaged in some other pursuits, of a more laudable charac- ter, the condition of the slaves in our Southern States would have been much nearer to eman- cipation than it now is. But we think it isdoing more honor to the party of abolitionists than they deserve, to make any use of this kind of argument to them. They take it at once as a concession that they are right in their views and opjects, and regard the argu- ment in their favor. It appears to them to be, as it were, a compliment of fear paid to them; as if their movements were greatly feared, and this argument were used to quiet them, and .induce them to hold their tongues. We have always thought this was doing them more honor than they deserved. This party ought, we think, to be regarded in the light of any other small party, whether religious or political, where the great end and object of the origina- tors and promotors of the move nent isto draw followers after them, by means of whose mass and influence they may make both reputations and tortunes for themselves and their friends Tobelievethat these individuals have really any concern for the good and welfare of any other human beings than their own selves, would be an outrage upon common sense, and would betray a simplicity and ignorance of men and things. We réspect and love the man who seeketh to “do evil to no one,” and who “ loves his neighbor as himself.” But these riotous disturbers of the public peace and promoters of murder, bloodshed and rebellion, are far from belonging, in fact, whatever they may do in name, to the peaceful followers of the teacher of peace and love to- ward allmen. We speak not ofall, but chiefly of the leaders and wire pullers who raise them- selves to social or political distinction, and at the same time to an easy living, by means of the mass they are able to act upon. That they have no other object in view is clear to all who are at all acquainted with human nature. But while we thus epeak of the folly and pride of these selt-conceited and rabid individuals, who imagine they can regulate and settle the government of the races of men, and fix the bounds of their habitations, the gradual course of things and events is leading to the eman- cipation of slavery. The surprising progress of events offers a phenomenon of human life highly interesting to contemplate. We see, as it were, streams of human beings moving gradually forward in one great channel, in one consecutive torrent, towards one great end. We see the people of the North moving into the settlements ot the South, and we behold those of the South moving still onwards towards a more distant South and Southwest, closely followed at their heels by a stream behind them; and as the North- ern man,with his agricultural and pasturage life, comes forward on the scene, the Southern man, with his cotton and tobacco, and his slaves, vanishes in the distance to more remote and dis tant climes. Thus it is that the lands of Virginia, worn out by the hoe of the negro in the incessent produc- tion of the exhausting crop of tobacco, are de- serted by their ancient possessors, and hought for a more trifle by the Northern or German cultivater; and thus white labor presses hard upon the steps of the receding slave. This pro- cess of retreat, in which the slave-planter is con- tinually retreating to new climes, and the white laborer entering upon the deserted plantations, has been, unseen and unnoticed, going on for a number of years past, slow it may be, but sure in its effects and operations. We have heard but lately of not less than ten thousand from Alabama and Louisiana, all emigrating to Texas. What a wonderful process ishere to be ob- served! The people of Texas take hold of Mexico, the people of Alabama, Louisiana and Mis- ippi take hold of Texas; then, again, the people from the middle States, Virginia and Marylend, rush to occupy the lands which the Alabamian, Louisianian and Mis- sissippian have abandoned for Texas. Then, the Northern men from New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, and the German and Swiss emigrants, enter in their turn upon the cheap lands open to them in Virginia and Maryland. Thus this rush forward goes steadily on, and in such a manner, that gradually a race from the the North will be located in the South, while all the Southern race, with their indispen- sable domestics, will he removed to the plains further South, and the Rio Grande lands, still more genial for their pursuits. Thus this great country strides onward. Thus our destiny is becoming fulfilled. frequently been Instauctron or Music Boys ror Tur ARMY.— The public is probably not aware that the gov- ernment has a very fine school at Governor's Island for the education of boys for the army. It is nevertheless true, that a school, not allowed to contain more than fifty boys at any one time, is there established for that,very purpose. The boys on entering must be between tourteen and sixteen years of age, not less than four feet, nine inches high, of good character, and must have the consent of their parents or guardians to serve the United States for five years. Theee boys are at first taken on trial, and if found capable of learning music, they are enlist- ed in the army and sent to school from six months to two years, according to their pro- ficiency and other circumstances. The school is kept by a competent master, and 18 under the supervision of the commanding officer of the Island, and the excellent Chaplain of the post, Professor McViecar, of Columbia College. The musical and military instruction, are given by the band master. This care of the government in providing the army with well educated and moral young men for musicians, is worthy of all praise, and it would be well for parents and guardians to look to these advantuges for their tone or wards. In- formation on this subject can be obtained at the recruiting rendezvous, No. 115 Cedar street, New York. Tux New Suir Z. D.—This is the badly chosen, cognomen of a beautiful ship launched from the yard of Messrs. Barclay & Townsend, Hobo- ken, yesterday afternoon. She is a noble vessel, not very large, but of graceful and even propor- tions, and although built expressly for carrying, with great capacities for her tonnage, the essen- tial qualities of sailing were not lost sight of. — The excellent symmetry of her model, the care and skill displayed in her construction, and the great strength of her timbers and fastenings, ren- der hera perfect vessel—to which we may also odd a fast one. The Z. D. ie the fires verse! ever built by thie firm, the members of which are men of skill an practical experience, both graduates from the yard of W. H. Webb, “of this city; no better proof of their taste and ability can be given than this, their first production. They have the frames of two more vessels now in theiryard, one for the Mediterranean trade, and the other for the freighting business, for Me: Zerigan & Co., of this city, to whom belongs the E.Z. Thisship will be commanded by Capt. Hartehorse, formerly of the Victoria. She was launehed fully rigged, and ready to receive her cargo. The affair was quite a novel feature to the va- ried attractions, both of art and nature, for which Hoboken is so celebrated. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Pann Tueatae —The performances at this house last eveming were for the benefit of the Viennoise Children, and there was present an audience which cheered thie little fairies im their task of grace. They performed four of their most beautiful dances to the great delight of the mass of spectators. The dramatio part of the perform- ances went off with no less oolat than did the ballet. Mr. Hacket was at home, and truth to tell, he made all who were in the front part of the house feel so too. He ‘was in excellent spirits, and, especially in the last piece, he kept his audience in s continued roar of laughter by his inimitable comioalities; his O'Callaghan is truly a performance of merit. On Monday evening Mdlle. Augusta makes her appearance in the grend ballet of “ Giselle.” The reputation ef this artiste is so well es- tablished that it would be useless to say anything here of her qualifications asa denseuse. The Park company will do their part towards making the evening’s enter- tainments complete, by playing the comedy of “The Heir-at-Law,” in which Messrs. Barry, Bess, Heild, W. B. Chapman, Stark, G. Andrews; Mesdames Vernon: Frary and Knight, and others, appear. Bowray Tuxata In order to furnish additional at- traction to the Bowery Theatre, we understand the manager has engaged that very exoellent comedian, Mr. ‘Thomas H. Blakely, and that he will perform the part of Zeik Dumb Fonnder, a New York nigger, in the new pieoe of “ Monterey,” on Monday next. This will be an additional feature to this favorite piece, which will be appreciated by the public. Monday will commence the fourth week of this plese, and we are sure that it will be as successful as it has been for three weeks past. The nautical dramaof the “ Pilot of the German Ocean”’ will be performed after “Monterey” on Monday. Cuatnam Tuaatzx.—Mr. E. 8. Connor, who has been amusing the public for some time past at the Chatham Theatre, will take a benefit there on Monday evening, and, from what we have understood, there is every pros- pect ef its being = good one. Mrs. MoLesu, from the Southern theatres, will appear as the Widow Cheerly, in the three act eomedy the “Soldier's Daughtor.”” Jim Crow Rice ill act * Jim Crow in London,” and the admired dra- ma “ Hofer, the Tell of the Tyrol,” will jude the eve- ning’s amuseinents, Between the pieces Mr. Soott will dance a Highland Fiiag, and Miss Ds Loraine will dance a Pas Seul. It this benots good benefit we are much mistaken. Bowery Cinevs—AmraitHeatas.—There will be a grand equestrian festival here to-morrow eveming in ho- nor of the laying of the corner stone of the Washington monument, and on Tuesday, (the day of the procession) the building will be didiy decorated. We have no doubt that these two evenings will be gale nights at tho Circus. We shell notice the performances to-morrow. Exnrorian Seneapens.—We need only say what we have already #0 often said about this band—that their performances are inimitable, and full of fun and wit. ‘Their career here thus far has been oneof unexampled success. We have no doubt the coming week will prove equally successful. They perform every evening. Crasty’s Minstae.s.—Those gentlemen are eom- pletely established as old favorites with the concert going folks of New York. Their third week will com- menoe with to-morrow evening’s performanoe, and they powers of amusement, that we think we address but a very small number wien we say, all those who have not heard Christy’s minstrels ought to go atonce. Ma. Demrsten.—This sterling and favorite vocalist has arrived in New York, after a most successful tour in the New England States. We learn that he will gives concert at the Tabernacle on Friday next, and that he will perform at it several of the plaintive, heart-resching eon, fs: which have made him so celebrated over the world. Musa Juvia L. Noatmact,, 60 well and favorably known in this city, we see intends giving concert to-morrow evening at Masonic Temple, in New Haven. She will be assisted by Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Ayling. We recem- mend her to the favorable notice of our New Haven readers, as one of the sweetest young alngers we have among us. She is young inyears, but old in music, and deserves the applause she #0 often receives. Mexopron.—The company of Minstrels playing at this place of entertainment are doing well. They are very clever. R. B. Morton will give ap original musical and intel- lectual entertainment at Gothic Hall, Brooklyn, on Wed- nesday evening next. ‘The Alleghanians were announced to sing at Palmyra last evening. Siaron Britz isso very suecessfal, that he remains with us another week. Dx. Cottver’s Mover Aatists.—Tho doctor intends bringing forward some new groups during the coming week. The ones he has presented have been excellent. We understand the ones will be better still. Brown's Paintinos or Taru nD His Starr—We are glad to know that this exhibition of portraits is meeting with the attention iugnerits. ‘The suthenticity of the portraits, and the pl: manner in which they are executed make them highly interesting, and we would advise all to go and see them. Power’s Guexx Siave.—The New York public oan- not be accused of {want of taste if the manner in which they have visited this beautiful piece of art is to be taken asacriterion. We perceive by the advertisement that the privileges of those holding season tickets end on the Ist of November, and that those who purchase such tickets after the it time, will enjoy their advan. tage until the lst December next. Let ticket purchasers remember this. Madam Ablamowios is still at Pitteburg. Messrs. W. Dinneford and J. P. Addams’ dramatic reel continue to attract full houses at Newbury- Mr. Andersen was announced to play Claude at the Howard Atheneum, Boston, night before last. It is said that Mr. Hacket will visit St. Louis and other a and Southern cities,during the present theatrif season. ‘notte Sporting Intelligenee. ‘We would oall the attention of the great sporting fa- mily tothe various edvertisements in our columns to- day.

The parties ocoupied their usual places ‘The examination of Mr. Shaffer, the party accused in connection with Mrs. L which we give below, seemed to haveattracted an unusual throng of persons into Court Before be was called to the stand, the Court intimated that in order to accommodate the jury, they would adjourn from two o'clock until ten ‘A.M. on Monday. Mr. Jonpan herrupon presented a telegraphic dispatch received from Baltimore, stating their inability to pro- duce a witness who had not as yet arrived in that city AxtTHony SHarren was hereupon called to the stand on te pet of the defence ‘ Mr. objected to his testimony, on the ground of his boing party interested, ‘and liable to be held to #0- count for the alleged interovuree, involving the crimina- lity of the party wecused Mr. O'Coxoa—If the Court gives it as an opinion that this objection is sustainable, and that Mr. Shaffer is not & competent witness, and taking our exception thereto, we shall stop here and sum up the case. Count—I don’t want it to appear as my opinio sol must deal with the case amongst themselves net for the Court te stop the case After some brief ent {rom counsel en either side, the Court ruied witness tobe » com) it one Mr. SHarrer was then swern and examined by Mr. O’Cowon.—I reside on Staten Island ; | know Mr. Lynde, and all the Lyndes; I mever had at avy time, or any Place, illicit intercourse with Mrs. Lynde; | never put my arm round her neck at any time, or any place ; | = {youn my hands around her hips or around her ly ; |neverin any way touched her person in any indelicate or ‘uabecoming eaner. ; coun- It is tions, on the ground that it was leading the witness. Mr. O’Conon could not conceive how testimony could nem trem a witness without in some instances ing. Mr. Jonpan had been rigidly held to the rule by coun- el of the opposite side, and wished to administer to them a little of their own medicine. The Covar remarked, that where an affirmation was put, as for instance, that the hands of the witness were round Mrs. Lynde’s neok in the arbor, it was open for the defence to negative it by testimony. Mr. O’Conon.— What has your conduct been towards Mrs. Lynde? Witxxss.—I behaved towards her'as I would behave towards 7 lady. Quxs.—Use any other terms descriptive of the mode in which you bebaved towards her. A.—I was always polite towards her. Q.—What was Mrs. Lynde’s conduct towards you as regards external decency ? ‘A.—Always polite and very kind. Q'—Have you ever entertained at any time any un- obaste thoughts in respect to Mrs. Lynde? Mr. Jonpar objected to the question,which he contend- od was a leading one. Mr. O’Conon replied, contending that he had a right to put the question in as far as it regarded negative and affirmative testimony. Having ar- ae at some length in support of his position, greund- his argument principally upon the testimony of one of the witnesses put upon the stand, Mr. Hope, on part of the plaintiff, who proved that he saw Mrs. Lynde smile at the witness,and deduced therefrom that Mr. ‘Shaffer and Mrs. Lynde were in love with each other. Mr. Jonban replied, and contended his chjection was well grounded. The Covar ruled that the question was s leading one. Mr. O’Conon—Have you at any time entertained a desire for, or the sentiment of love for Mrs. Lynde? Mr. Jonvan—That question is just as leading as the formerone. These are questions which can be put to this man ina diffurent way. Mr. J. again contended that the question was a leading one. If man swore as to his thoughts,he may commit a perjury every moment of his lif Mr. O’Conon—I have Covar—You may put or passion of lov: Mr Jonpan nese Mr. O'Coxon-—Have you, Mr. Shaffer, ever entertain- ed for Mrs eee the sentiment or passion of love?

A.—I only received the same attentions from her as I did from her family; I was polite to them und they were polite to me. Q—Did any act on the part of Mrs. Lynde ever ocour to induce you to believe that Mrs. Lynde ever enter- tained the passion or sentiment of love towards you? Mr. Jonpan objected. ‘The Count ruled out the question. Mr. O'Conor excepted.

Asa husband ‘and father, I have ever been indulgent to the extent of my abilities and far beyond Since { have been married my whole life has been devoted tomy family, with the fond hope of placing them in affluent circumstances; and when the business of the day was over, always havo | sought for happiness ‘at home rather than elsewhere; and you know full well if I have found it; and you know how far you have aided me in making you and yours in- dependent. I have always, and under provoking circum- stances, preserved my fidelity to you. My own personal expenses have always been regulated with the strictest regard to economy, that I might afford you the more in- dulgences. I have ever, when dining in New York, got the cheapest dinner possible, with a view to economy; perhaps in this way [ might save 6 or 12 cents, and when I returned home in the evening, I might find that you had been out and spent $5 or $10 for articles of no value. Ruth, I say not these things in anger, but to draw your attention to them; and I want you to put this question to your own soul, whether you have always treated me in a manner that you can justify to your Maker, before whom there is too much reason to fear you may too soon be oalled upon to appear? For what cause did you in 1835, urge me to depart for Europe, to be absent nearly a year? For what cause did you, upon my return from Europe in 1836, urge me to leave you and the children at Bedford, while I resided in New York? For what cause did you with your obildren abandon me in NewYork and go to pass the winter in New Bedford in 1837? For what onuse did you abandon my bed for months before I last left hom And why, when you wrote the letter just received, let Mary commence it, so that you need not have to put “ My Dear Husband” to it, and even leave it unsigned rather than aa: Yours?” | oan wer all these questions—You'dislike Why dislike me? It is beoause I am too much matter of fact, have no poetry, no wit, no elegance of manners, am not learned, have not the sprightly conversational powers that some men have. I, pie aba responsibility of a husband and father, look to the realities of life, and by industry aud economy to-day, endeavor to provide the means of sup- port for to-morrow; whilst you, di ing the sacred obligations of a wife, look unly to te festion of your own wishes to-day, and have no ought for the morrow. Ruth, better bad it been for you if you had been created with less beauty of person, with less capti- vation of manner, and with more judgment ii ; Oh, Ruth, could’ you have been as perfect a wife as you have been a mother, Py indeed would have been the man who calls you wife. did have some fond hope that after | left home you would review your past con- duct, and would be convinced you had treated me un- justly, and that you would writy me an affectionate let- ter. Alas! alas! how wofully am I disappointed. You say, “so you.want assurance from the dootor whether | am ill or not.” I certainly did call upon him to get bis opinion of your health, for I oe: ink of leaving home if he thought you my return. My object was not what you so cruelly inti- mate, for | well know nour health is and | am quite willing to suppose your conduct is attributable to that cause, You say, “1 hope not long to be an inoumbrauce to any one; my place can be better amd more basen 4 filled.” Ruth, is it not unfeeling to taunt me with suc expressions as these? Again I repeat, | would not have you think that anything | now say is in anger; I want that you should refleet and deliberate upon your past married life, and see if you have done nothing to re- proach yourself with; think of the trials | have had to endure, the vicissitudes that I have passed through in my mercantile career; think of the indulgence I should be entitled to, if when misfortunes have overtaken me L have not been #0 liberal as you have thought I ought tobe, I say think of these things, I implore of you, aud say that you have some feeling of affection for me; that on my return you will recvive me with open arma and greet me with an affectionate kiss. Do, do, I pray you; Without these assurances L cannot come home, for my nature will not, cannot any longer bear your indiffer. ence, not to say dislike or hatred. My dear wife, too ‘soon; I fear, you will be called upon to render your final ‘account, and it behooves you to be at peace with all the world. Ruth, you onoe accused me with wishing your death; it so shocked me I did not and could not reply, as you may well remember. I amnotthat mam. What- ever you may say, whatever you ne I shall never forget that youare my wife. You have always been dear to me, and are so atill, however much your dislike has grieved me. You say you don’t want any new medicine; so long as there is any chance of medicine doing you any good it is your duty to take it, Remember your duty to your children; what will become of them without a mother’s care, poor, dear, dear little things; The two older will toon be able to take care of themselves; but poor dear little “ Kippee,” sweet little dear, what is to become of you? Mary is just entering the world, and needs ‘a mother’s fostering care more now than ut any other time, Oh! my poor dear children.what will be yourfate? Ruth, do not ferget that | am the father of your chil- dren; that upon you depends their fature happiness It is my duty to strive to obtain the means for their edu- cation; and to you should they look for advioe for direo- tion in all matters pertaining to this life, for an example in kindly feelings. You say yeu have no wish to live— oan you the hour of death approaches, thivk upon your past conduct without reproaching yourself for your Unkindnees to me, and close your eyes in death with the same hostile feelings that you parted with me when | left home, and which you appear now tohave? Youcan- not—the time will come when you will repent your past conduct, and should I be absent in your last moments, you will want me present to forgive you for your past unkiadness Ruth. 1 forgive you without asking; be to me what you can be, and let the past be forgotten. You have said to me many times that | once told you your letters were not worth the postage. | think you were mistaken. I do not think I ever said s0. and I pray you never repeat itagain.

Common Prxas, Oct. 15—Before Judge Ulshoeffer— Geo. Nichols vs. Wm. C. Dusendwry,—This was an action of covenant upon a sealed landiord’s agreement between plaintiff and defendant. by the terms of which, the defendant agreed to build s store and dwelling house on lot No. 2803 Grand street, by the lst of Mav. 1843 according to certain plana and specifications. The de- fendant did not complete the building until the 27th of when plaintiff took ion and removed into it quantity of fancy goods. He paid the first quarter's rent in advance, $112. and continued to occupy the premises until the middle of August, 1843, and then re- moved, alleging that house leaked badly, and that his stook of goods was damaged to the amount of uj wards of $1.000, which he sought to recover in this action. The cause was tried before and a verdict ren- dered for plaintiff for $1,000. Exceptions were taken at the trial. and verdict was afterwards set aside on und that damages for an injury to goods could recovered on an action of covenant, and the court ordered s new trial. On this trial, the Judge charged fendant having pleaded non est factum, merely put the making of the deed in issue, and that he admitted the allegation of the payment of the quarter's rent; that plaintiff had removed in consequence of the untenantable condition of premises, and that the jury im allow as general damages, the rent he had paid. The jury, however, render:d a verdict for de- fondant. For plaintiff, Mr. Joseph Blunt and Charles ‘A Rapelye, For defendant, Mr. Robert F. Winslow Oct. 16—In anco —Decisions.— Frances Connor, Ge . Matsel and others.—This was an action for as- sault and battery. A verdict was re dered against the defendants. Exceptions were taken on the ground of he admission of illegal testimony. The question was ed this term on the exceptions. The Court in giv- ing judgment stated that one of the defendants, namely the Chiet ot Poll not present when the assault was alleged to have been committed, and the only evi- dence connecting him with it was the sending him ter, in which reference was made to persons in such r as to create suspic! gaint the author of the Mr. Matsel appess ave acted in the dis- lette: to charge of his Judicial duties, and when the plaintiff ap- 4 before him voluntarily for the purpose of examination, he had a right to require hor to remain if only for examination as a witness; whether he exercised any improper oonduot or not, must be deci ded on another trial. [t appears to us there is nothi in the testimony to call for such an amount of damages as the jury have fre on the last trial. We think therefore a new trial should be granted, New trial or- dered, costs to abide the event. Samuel Thompson, et al, ads. J. Stokes Dickerson.— This was amotion for » new trial by defendant’: counsel upon # bill of exceptions. ‘he defendants gave their bond for $2600 to plaintiff, in order to procure the diseharge of plainti'"’s attachment against William West, jr. and Wm. P. Cox, non-resident debtors. On the trial plaintiff obtained « verdict of $60 damages and sixcents costs, The first point was that the plain- tiffs demand against Cox did not amouut to $100 — The next point was, that the non-resident debtor, for whom a defendant gives bis bond, is not either with or without a release, a competent witness. The defendant’s counsel also excepted to the Judge’s oharge,and that the verdict was contrary to evidence. The Court decided against the validity of all the points raised by defen- dant’s counsel, and confirmed the verdict with costs.

There was a verdict for plaintiff for over $5000, subject to the opinion of the Court on a bill of exceptions.

Thet'| ere sales of Stonington Railroad at an advance of 4! per cent on the previous price, on long time, and a de- cline in Indiana of 2 per cent, since last sale. ‘The sales at the second board were hardly worth re- | porting. |" We must have some news soon from some quarter | that will give more activity to the stock market. It is | very extraordinary that we get nothing from the South. | We expect our pony express along every moment with advices from Mexico, and also the arrival of the French) steamer, with eleven days later news from Europe. We! eannot be kept in suspense much long By the annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail: | road Company, it appearsthat the business of the road has been very large in the last year, and that tho actual | profits have been over seven per, cent on the caprtal.— ‘The gross receipts on the main stem were $1,101,936 58, and the expense of working and management $596 628 08, leaving $671,107 60. Of this sum a largo portion was || applied, as explained in the report, to reconstructing the track, eto, and of the remainder, a dividend of three | per cent, has been declared on each sharo of the stock. | | ‘The net profits ofthe Washington branch have been | $41,047 47, making, with the surplus on hand at the | opening ct the year, $48,131 66, on which a dividend cf 2% per share has beon declared, leaving a surplus of $6831 66. Itsppears that there has been a fal ing off in the receipts for this road, and that the diminution has been in the passenger traffic. | During the past year the number of passengers has been five thousand four hundred and three less than in the year 1846, and the amount of revenue received from this source has been eleven thousand eight hundred and nineteen dollars less than in the preceding year. It may also be stated that during the past year there was an in- crease in tonnage transportation of 3,109 tons, and of $2198 87 in the revenue from that source, over the year 1846, It may be inferred, therefore, that the experiment ofa reduced charge authorized by the board in the yours 1845-46, has not realized the expectations by which it wasrecommended ; and the conclusion would seem to be warranted that the lowest charges do not uniformly increase the amount of travel. ‘The following exteacts from the report relative to the main stem, will be interesting : ‘The influence of the administration of the present board cannot be traced to an earlier period than thi middle or close of the year 1837. In that ywar, length of road being 82 miles, only 157,102 passengers and 66,703 tone of freight were carried in the oars, and the machinery imperfectly adapted to that amount of business; in the present year, upon a road of 178 wiles, there have been transported 268.674 passengers and 263,334 tons, and unless from sudden accumulation at unexpeoted and temporary periods, there has bern no deficiency of power or means. Anter.or to the 1837 ‘and up tothe year 1835, there had been only all dividends, varying from 373 to $1 13% pet share, and from 1835 to 1840, no dividend had been declared. During the period subsequent to 1837, a dividend to the stockholders was intermitted for a single year only, the earnings of the year 1842 having been applied to the extension of the road from frp Ferry to Cumber. land. In 1841 and 1843, the dividend was $2 per share, in 1844, $234 per share, and in 1845 and ’46, $3 per share. ‘The comparative progressive improvement in other respects during the same period subsequent to 1837, is not leas striking. In that year the gompany owned only fourteen locomotive engines, and these of tho fourth or smallest class, of whieh some were actually unfit for use, and the whole, more or less, in an imper- fect condition. From that time to the present, the mo- tive power of the company bas been inereased by con- struction or otherwise, to thirteen of the largest class, two of the second, twelve of the third, and eleven of the fourth elase, in all thirty-eizht, and in actual capacity equal to seventy-two of the claas of those employed in 1837, The augmentation and improvement in the number and condition of the cars and other maehinery may be taken to be in the same proportion In 1837 the cost of repairs of road and bridges, the latter being comparatively few in number, was not less than at the rate of $1203 per mile of road, and at the end of 1846 the cost of similar repairs did not exceed $918 per mile of road, being about twenty-five per cent Jess than at the former period.” The cost of repairs of machinery, engines and cars, in 1637, was at the rate of 29 3-10 per mil by the locomotives with trains, and in 1846 the cost did not exesed 16 1-10 per mile run ; being little more than one-half of the former cost, although the trains hauled in the last year were in all instances considerably larger. In 1837 the aggregate ex of = the road, exclusive of the expense of horse power in the streets of Baltimore and over the old inclined planes atParr’s ridge, was at the rate of not Joss than 173 cents per mile run by the locomotives ; and im 1846 the same expenses did not exceed the rate of 69 8-10 per mile, nearly two-thirds less than in the former period. It bas been already stated that the proportion of the expenses of working the road to the gross reecipta in 1837, was as much as ninety-five p now be added that in 1846 the same expenses did not exceed fifty-two per cent of the gross reoripte. It must be observed, moreover, that thie great reduction hes been effected under the influence of a vastiy sugmvotod’ trade, of a continued dilepidation of the old and imper- fect track, of # considerable multiplication or timber bridg nd of # reduction in the charges for transport- ene more than thirty-five per oent below the rates in It may not be out of place in this connection, and for better illustration of this part of t! hjeot. to state that from the opening of the road to the year 1837, inclusive, (w period of 8 years.) the gross receipts amounted to $1,439,151, the expenses to $1,038,818, the dividends to $144,138, and the expenditure on account o only to $247 196 From the elose of the year 1837 to the end of 1647,the gross receipts bean $5,979,097, the expenses $3.332,783, the dividends $735 000. aud the expenditure on account of capital. $1,911,314 that from the opening of the road a. the present time, the stockholders have received of ith earnings $8/9,138, and the expenditure for general objects of capital aas been $2,159,509. The ratio of expenses to receipts, pri- or to 1837, was 727-10 per cent., and frout 1837 to 1847, the ratio bas been 65 7-10, while the exoens of current receipts over current expenditure, prior to 1937, was $391,333, and subsequent to 1837, it has been $2,155 5v9. The average cost per mile of ti of the principsl raliroads of New England, i their neoessary equipment, may be stated at $46.000 and that of the Baltimore aod Obio Railroad, including the thirty miles reconstructed during the past and preceding years, may be taken to be about thesame. [f the cost of reconstructing the remaining portion of the old traok, and of the alterations now in W gem ape added, the average cost of the road ‘would be more than $60,600 per mile, The average of all the expenses upon eleven of the prineipal New England roads per mile, run by the locomotives with trains, during the year 1846, was not less than 78 1-10 cents; and that upon the Baltimore and Ohio Raliroad during the same period, exciusive of the cost of horse-power in the streets of the city, was, as before stated, not more than 69 8 10 cents; showing a difference of nearly twenty-five cents in faver of this road.
