ron THE WATcHMAS.

Be pleased to publish the enclosed extract, which
cut from New York paper Of the 18th iust.--
showing the advantage of !" Rail Ways" The road
spoken OF is the same TO Darngton,) Of which we
had an account published few weeks since.
Important advantages Of Raitroads-[From Cores
pendent at Stockton on-Tees Already do the inhabitants
of Stockton begin feel sesby the advantages of
the communication made by the opening Of the Oar
lngton Railroad; for the price of GOALS which before
the opening of the Rail road 18s ton at Stockton
reduced to l2s. Now what be the advantage when
sufficient time has elapsed to enable the proprietors of
coal mines the line of the Railroad to open the
r'ages, and propelng powers included for hapeuny
per ton per mile''
II seems by this account, that the owners Of the
road furnish carriages and moving power at ex
pensc for transportation Of hafpenny (sterling)
per ton per mile.
Rejecting fractions, If we call this half penny one
cent and calculate 100 bushels OF wheat 8 tons
10000 pounds the cost of carriage for 100 bushels
wheat from Lancaster 10 Wilmington, as miles, will
be 1875 cents, or and IS hundredths Of cent per
bushel-whereas the least price that it can now be
calculated at is from S to 90 cents per bushel.-
What vast saving would then result interior
country from the formation of Rail Roads-and
what convenience to the towns the Atlantic
coast from obtaining the products of that country
at so low rate and yet with profit to the carriers
the more obvious the advantage. Wheat, that sells
at IS to 81 cents per bushel at Ptsburg and would
bring 80 TO IS cents per bushel here, could be
transported the $50 miles for about 1Ol cents per
bushel. MENTOR.
