In regard TO the expenses of the Road the
examining committee say, {. It viii be seen
that the expenditures OF the Rail Road are to
an amount greatly exceeding that Of any pre-

"The Committee think proper to explain
that there has been expended during the year
for four new Locomotives, two new coaches,
a large number of new trucks, and new
coach house, the sum of s42,291 OF, which
does not properly belong to the current expen-
ses of the Road.

Narai Stcres-The receipts of Turpcntine
from North Carolina this session have been un-
usually light, principally owing to the low
stage of the rivers there preventing its being
brought down to the shipping ports; the stock
now here offered for sale is very small, and but
one arrival has taken place for more than two
weeks, in consequence OF the long continued
prevalence of head winds. The enhanced rates
of freight to Liverpool and London, amounting
almost to prohibition, and the packets re-
quiring but very small quantity at any rate,
(other goods being more desirable,) buyers for
export have recently taken very little, and we
have only to report this week 1000 bbls Wash

fused In the absence of purchasers, our quo

This is no doubt better than emigration to the
