Mr.. JACKSON descanted in able manuer upon the
conduct ef the representatives who had been
Albany by the Wings OF this city, and who he said had
noby sustained the pledge they had made the city by
whom they were sent to guard its interests and protect
its rights. He passed a wcllmeritcd euogium upon
Messrs. Ogden. Ruggles, Scoes and Hall, and their
faithful services, and concluded by an eloquent and
glowing appeal 20 the Wing Young Men of this city, and
from the manner in which his remarks received
we should judge that the Wing Young Men needed no
stimulant to urge them TO their duty.
REDWOOD FISHER, Esq then appeared in obedience
TO the unanimous call of the audience, and kept the
assembage in continued of laughter by his witty
and sarcastic remarks upon the condact of the Little

cluded by offering the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Wings &C New Hampshire have
noby discharged their duty although they have dis

oihce.hoders and eo-ruptonists Of the Nauonal and
State administration; and further
Resolved That the result of the late contest affords
us conclusive evidence that ysdr hence Martin Van

mans Garard, appointed Secretary. The meeting
was addressed al length by Chas. J. Faulkner,
Esq, in speech which had n happy effect in cor
rscting the mi apprehension thai existed in rea-

the petition Of the Court to the Legislature was
for permission to take tho cntire ind viduai stock
which would probably amount to some $4,000 OF

BALTIMORE AND Ono Rail- Re

DHhAihohE AND oHlO NAIL kOAD.
The annual report ofthe President and
Directors fthls company has been pub.
lished. 1t states, that on the main stem
there is an excess OF income for the pres.
ent year 81 900, and that although the
amount of trade has been greater, the ex.
penses of transportation have been less
than IN the previous year. The report
further states, that the alterations now in
progress at the planes, will diminish the
actual expense for transportation at that
point S20, 900 per annum, besides saving
the wear and tear machinery; in the
conveyance of passengers also, the ex-
petition will be greatly increased and in
the transportation of burdens the time
Will be diminished one half; of the pro-
ceeds oil the Washington Branch a divi.
dend IN stock and money amounting to
fourteen per cent has been made equal 10
about 23 per cent per annum since the
company has been IN operation. Besides,
this Branch has paid to the State in div.
lden6s and as the bonus required by the
charter and as interest on anticipated in.
staIments 6 2-3 per cent per annum on
'he whole amount contributed by the State
to both roads.
The reasons assigned for continuing
the main stem through Virginia are, that
they must otherwise have lost the Vir.
gInIa appropriation, that they will secure
the trade of the fertile valleys bordering
on the tributaries OF the Potomac and a.
void collisions with the Canal Company.
The Company are actively engaged in
extending the work to Cumberland whence
the report intimates, the two companies,
forgetting their jealouses will unite in ur-
glng 1t on to the West.
The report is much more lucid and
satisfactory than similar documents from
the company have been, and under the
prudent and efficient management of Mr..
McLane' better state Of things may be
expected.
