o 1t will be seen, by referring 10 our co.
lumns, that the Annexation Resolutions, as pass
ed by Congress, have created considerable ex.
citcment in Texas and Mexico. The Texans,
generally, are in favor OF Annexation. The
English and French are, however, using all their
power TO defeat the measure. The consequence
is, that those in office and holding high stations,
are operated upon in various ways by induce.
ments held opt to them Mexico also offers 10
recognise the independence of Texas if she will
refuse annexation. This is all brought about by
English and French diplomacy. The mass of the
people in Texas, are, in the meantime, becom-
ing indignant at the delay, and if President Jones
does not soon call an extra session of Congress,
the people will call convention and carry it by
force, while their rulers are hesitating in doubt

t. THE CASAL CoMMrssloNEEs AND THE
RATES OF ToLL.-We stated few weeks since
that the course pursued by the Board of Canal
Commissioners, would have tendency to pros
trate, at least very mnch cripple the coal trade
o: this region. They have raised the tolls on coal
and lumber on the canal except so far as the
Wllkcsbarre and Holidaysburg regions con
cerned, while they have reduced the tolls on the
Columbia rail read, on these articles, This, we
presume, was done TO introduce the Schuylkill
coal in the counties on the eastern end of the line
of the road aud thus to cut of the trade on about
50 miles of the Pennsylvania canal, from this
place 10 Columbia. Why the Wilkesbarre and
Hollidaysburg regions should be particularly IA.
vored al the expense of other regions, il is hard
! TO say, but we have heard various conjectures.
Men now-a days seldom act but from motives
Of self interest, and We may hereafter be induced

Uy- More fRoN WoHks-We observed a few
days since, while passing along the road, that Mr.,
s X. Wood has commenced the erection Of a new
Anthracite Furnace, in Point township, in this
county, Just below the narrows on the road
leading TO Danvilie. The Iron men are now H.
terally coming money. The advance on Iron
dnring the last few months, would in the pro-
ducts of an ordinary furnace alone, for one year,
amount TO upwards OF twenty thousand dollars
For example, an ordinary furnace, in this
region, with all the fixtures, SC, necessary to
put it into operation, would probably cost ten
thousand dollars, The furnace would Weld a..
bout seven tons per day, or say fifty tons per
week, making 1900 tons per annum. Good pig
iron will now command $40 per ton and, it is
reasonable TO suppose Judging from the great de-
mand for Railroad iron in Europe it will con.
tnue SO for at least three or four years The
contemplated rail roads in England alone will re-
quire more than the whole amonnt Manufactured
for two years. Iron, in this region, it is said,
can be made at $50 per ton. If so, furnace OF
the above capacity, would clear s52 900 per an.
mum. Bnt supposing it TO cost SOP per ton TO
manufacture, and that the average price of iron
should range at about S3j per ton, (and this. we
think, would cover all contingencies the clear
profits on 2600 tons would amount TO S3l, 200
per annum.
The above, we know, will appear startling TO
some unacquainted with the facts, but it should
be recollectcd that Anthracite Iron has been made
for several years past at profit, when prices
were ranging from S2j TO $50 per ton. We
know no better place, for its manufacture, than
the Susquehanna Valley, and no point of location
that possesses more or greater advantages than
/ SunbuTy. Coal can be delivered here, from
Shamokin, at all times, at 81 so per ton in large
quantities. We have limestone within mile OF
us, and abundance of ore of the best quality
| within two miles, on the line of Canal Such
advantage. need, we think, only be known to be
! appreciated.

PRESENCE OF MIND-One of the Pittsburg pa

Deputy was also absent on business, and when
the fire got up in that neighborhood, Mrs Tro.

AT the very height of the danger she called all
the prisoners who were not III the cells TO the
CRATE, and by name let all the vagrants out.
That done, she set them TO work to carry water
up to the top, and this only saved it as the rooi

Further Particulars Of the Fire nt Pitts
burg.
An extra of the Ptshurg Gazette, Of Sa,ur-
day evening, contains the following -
Amidst all the distress, there were those a.
round who added to the calamity by stealing.
Among others, the Rev. Geo. s. Holmes had a.
bout $1,000 stolen, which he had gathered up,
by great economy, on Methodist preachers
salary. He also lost a large numbre of valua-
bic manuscripts, the labor of twenty years.
To show the rapidity of the fire, we may
mention that gentleman Of our acquaintance
arrived at the American Hotel, about o'clock,
and leaving his trunk, walked out to see the
fire, which was then nearly quarter of a mile
of. In a short time he returned and found the
hotel in flames. He lost his trunk with nearly
all his clothing and papers, and a considerable
sum of money
The Monongahela bridge took fire at the
north end, next TO Pittsburg, and the flames ran
roaring and cracking through with rial road
speed, and from the time the fire commenced
until it was PROSTATE in the river, only ten min
utcs elapsed.
"The IndiUidual losSes-The loss of some
| individuals and houses are enormous, ranging
from $4,000 up to 100000 Thus, one firm
of wholesale grocers, the heaviest holders of su
gar, molasses, &c, in the city. and also owner:
of the building in which they did business, can
not have lost lees than from 50 to 100000
There is the Monongahela House also, which
cost $500 600, including the furniture. In ma
