The results a to the tolls are corroborated by the above statement of the tonnage. The products of th.s State eoming to tide water. by way of the Erie canal, do not inereare with 1be reduction of the rates, while those from ‘Western states increase larxely. ‘The were inorease in 1852, from Western States, over | the previous year, is nearly equal to the whole amount | fsom thoce States in 1542. The amount from Western States, in the last year, ix nearly double that from this State. | It ix seem that the total delivery from the Erie canal | has about doubied in the last ten years, reaching 1 644,- ¢99 tons im the last year. The ca-goes of the boats which dehvered these tons at tide water are ascurtained to average 80 tons. It is estimated that byan expenditure of $600,000 on the chaenel ofthe Erie canal, it will allow the passage of | Doats of 160 tons—nearly double the average eargees of | the eats which delive ed the 1,644,699 tons at tide yater Jo the saxt year. If this be done, and the rate of inerease be no greater than for the past ten years, it would tnke twenty years to | reach the capacity of the 150 ton boat. Suppose the increase to be twice ax fast, or equal to that of the last year, it would #/ill take ten years, and without increasing the number of lockagen. With a delivery at tide water last year of 1,644,699 tons from the krie canal the whole toils on the canals were over $8 060,000, or about $2 om a ton of the delivery. At | the prevent rates it may be assumed that every ton of in- | aqreaved arrival at t de water will adi $2 additional toll, Bo that when the delivery at tide water from the Erie ca- ‘pa! «hail ceach 3,000,000 of tons, whether in twenty years ex in ten years, the tolls may be $6,000,000. and at that rate for any leas time. Every increased delivery of 100,- 000 tons may give au increase of $200,000 in toll ‘the effect of an extraordinary demand upon the illimit- able productive power of the West is shown by the tolla and tonnege of 1847. The extraordinary demand in that ear was C¢cesioned by the famine in Ireland There has nono such demand stnoe, and the increase since that [tar bas been, and, with eimiler exceptions, will continue be, measurably by the increase of population iw the oider States, and by the ehange necessarily made in their agricultural pursuits by the competiticn of the eben) and fertile lands of the Wont. The tables make it very clear that for the payment of ‘We debt of the State of about $24,000 000, and the in- aerest of about $i 300,000, annually, if it is to be paid from the revenues of the canal», the State must look t2 the tolls on the products of the choup and fertile lands of a The following statement, while it farnishes gratify evidence of the progressive increase of the tee ie the great staple of flour and wheat, corroborates the two pre- vious ones as to the stationary condition of the #urplus production of our own State “The results in the second colume are arrived ot by assuming tl at wheat from We tern vo ape arti: deduct! it from thé total arrival at tide waver. turning wheat into barrelathe tise has been followed of calling five bushels # barrel. {tie not strictly accu rate but as it is done for the whole series, it fer the purpose of a comparison of years.

The reverend gentleman, in the eourse of his sermon, made the following allusions to the life and character of Mrs. Fillmore :— Seenes of the past week are crowding upom my mind. I could speak of nothing this morning but death and im- mortality. The sudden departure of Mrs. Fillmore has created a deep feeling of sorrow in this community, and indeed throughout the country.

She rought not the glitter of superficial accomplishments; she cared not much for the roft graces of facile sentiment; her character was one of principles—a fabric of worth, consistent, substantial, enduring; not a taneoun pro- duet from th i ity, but reared b lap te endeavor. Her as been filled with valuable services. All who were near her bave found support in her strength. Her prac. tical good senne, softened and made genial by passing through her genuine woman’s heart, rendered her wel- come and useful and honored everywhere. Our departed friend was born at Stillwater, Saratoga —_— ie Y., eee ee Her Pete was Bey, emul Powers, & 6 of the Bapt: communion.

Thus prepared, in the strength of mature womanhood, she assumed the rela- tions of domestic and conjugal life. As o wife and mo- ther, I forbear to attempt a deseription of what she was. 1 aay not epenk imperfectly what, by some is felt 00 deeply. Her husband, by constant affection and tender confidence, praisetit her, and her children, by reverend love, rise up and call her blessed. Though so thoroughly faithful and efficient in her homo duties. the found time, and had vigor enough, to pasa depend the closer spheres of domesticity, & most quiet and unobtrusive way, she made herself acquainted with the topios of the day and public affairs, and in all her husband’s distinguished and responsible position, she bas been ‘at his side with sympathy and counsel.’ By abiding in her own sppropriate sphere, she bas shown the gentle power that every true woman wields. Sud- denly she has parsed away, with acalmand humble trust in the Father’s gracions mercy, aa revealed by Jesus Christ. The glare of this world’ 't never dazzled her sight; exalted eminence did not her giddy; nor did distingui-hed honor harden her heart. Quietly and meek- ly she passed along through this world’s high places, and when weary, wish services and, Dreken by dlesase’ and longing for repose, she has gone to a nobler rest than any home on earth could give her.

The Board of Council of Barbadoos had met, and the Colonial Secretary laid before the members two despatches from the Secretary for the Colonies; one enclosed an amendment with eertain remarks upon the fourteenth clause of the act for regulating the Trade of the Island, the other informed the honorable Board, that certain acts of the island bad been left by her Majosty to their operations. a By these papers, we learn something of what is goi on in the ee ‘boring French islands of Martinique ans Guadaloupe; in the former of which, at the city of St. ‘Pierre, fountain of water was opencd on the 14th of January, with great festivities, as usual with the French on such ocoarions; and in the latter, a new Government Bank at Point » Pftré. ‘The arrival of two frigates from Brest, with aon troops for the garrisons of the two islands, is rej during the mosth of coer at Fort de France, and anar- rangement entered into with a contractor for the convey- ance of Coolies from the East Indies to add te the labor of the colonies. ‘The empire had been proclaimed, amidst great rejoic- ing. at Martinique. ‘the melancholy bereavement of General Pierco is al- Inded to in terms which evinos much sympathy for the President. 8 The opening of the St. Nicholas Hotel, New Yerk, is mane f from the Leoward island e papers the Leeward islands give, general): speaking, a favorable account of the prospects of the sugar crop. lwo vole, with Chinese immigrants, to the number of 351, = bardy looking set of men, had arrived at Dema rara.

(Correspondenee of the Philadelphia North American } Havana, Mareb 26, 1853. Having just returned from seeing the inauguration of the Vieo President, I thought perhaps be gratified by a brief description of the ceremony. Mr. King has been spending some time at the hospita- ble mansion of Colenel Chartrand, on bis sugar estate, Ariaéne, near the village of Leinonar, on. the Collesce railroad, about fifteen miles from Matanza, and has de- rived some benefit from inhaling the fames of the sugar house. He is very much attenuatec, and so feeble and reduced that I doubt his ever reaching home agaia. Duripg hie stay he has received the utmost attention from Colonel Chartrand and his family, and apeaka of it in the warmest terms. The Colonel is the beau ideal of a West Indie planter, « fine looking man, gonerous, kiad- hearted, affable, and the very soul of hospitality. His estate {s in admirable order, and though not so great in extent as some, is remarkable for its high cultivation and the superior quality of its sugars. Our party, consisting of Judge Sharkey, T. M. Rodney, Consul at’ Matanzas G. W, Jones, M. C.) and Special Messenger, and sever others, arrived at ‘the plantation to break(ast, and after doing ‘presented to Mr. King, were conducted over the sugar works by Cel. Chartrand and his sons, who ex- plained everything, from the cutting of the eane to the final prosess of purifying. At 12 M. on the 24th of March, we were summoned to witness the inauguration. The Vice President being too feeble to stand without assistance, was Nay aig on the right by G. W. Jones, .,and'on the left by T. M. Rodney, Esq., Consul, The oath was administered by Judge Sharkey, Conmu! at Havana, and was afterards signed by the Viee President, certified by Judge Sharke; witnessed by the follow: ing ladies and gentlemen — fargaret King, of Alabama; Catharine Ellis, do.; A, Stebbins, Louisiana; Jno.

H Day, Michigan; Youk; and Samuel H. The ceremony, although simple, was very sad and {m- pressive, and will never be forgotten by any who were Present. To see an old man, on the very verge of the ve, clothed with honors whieh he cared nit for, and invented with authority which he could never exeteise, was truly touching. It was only by persuasion that Mr, King would go through the ceremony, as he looked on it as an idle form, fer he said he was conscions he could not live many weeks. After the ceremony was over, Mr. King conversed with the gentlemen present for a short time, and then retired to bis couch. We amused ourselves with walking through the orange and coffee groves, till dinner time, when we sat down te s sumptuous repast, and in the e: ning took the ears and returned to Matanzas. Mr. Rodney was very kind and attentive, and showed uneverything worth seeing in Matanzas, which is not much. "Mr. Rodney is very highly eateomed by the citi- zens of Matanzas, and by all who visit the place, owing to his affable man: Ppromptnoss, and when occasion de- mands it, unflinching courage in defending the rights of his countrymen; axd many are in hopes that he may be continued at his post during the next four years, as his long experience on the island of Caba peculiarly fits him for the office.
