The Courier referring to the above
list, remarks
There seems TO be bu, little disposition
to pat with these favorite stocks, partly
on account oi the near approaching div
idend., but mainly from the fact OF their
being well distributed and held for in
vcs,nent II is astonishing how soon the
new shares in these companies are dis
posed Of The Boston and Worcester
company created one thousand addition.
nj shares in January last, and five thou
sand IN July, altogether six thousand
new shares, which have ell been alb
sorbed by investors, and the stock is no
plcniier ~ The market than Il was before.
The same may be said respecting all the
others. By additions to their capitals
they increase their productive means ;
the property is thus enhanced in value,
aud more eagerly sought after, often
producing an advance in price.
The Fuchburg and the Concord roads
have thus Tar been The most fortunate as
Il regards nett revenue and large divi-
dends aud their shares conse equently
stand at higher premiums than the rest.
The present and prospective advantages
of the Worcester and Western roads
may be ranked next, as their tributaries
are numerous and important. The West

direction.
The Troy and Greenbush, the Hud.
son aud Vest S,ockbridge the flousato-
me, the Pnistield and North Adams, the
New Haven, Hartford and Spring
field, and the Springfield, Northampton
aud Greenfield roads are all valuable al
hes To the main trunk. The other ter
mini at the eastern end of the line, are
the Norwich, the Worcester and Nash
ua, nnd the Worcester aud Providence.
The latter roads may posslbly draw of
some business from this city, but they
will be an Accommodation ald a saving
To other sections, which il would be un-
generous TO repine at. A large amount
of western business, which is now water
borne between Providence and Albany
at certain Seasons, seeks this new con
wcyance.
The Worcester road will probably
divide four per cent. for six months, and
the Western has already declared three
per cent. Tor fire months, which is at the
rate of more than7 per cent. per annurn.
Ai"r the 10Th inst this stock will be
sold with the dividend oG, and ought, il,
would seem, TO Command higher prices
than al present, as compared with other
lines whose prospects for the future are
M better, TO say the least, putting out
Of view .he large amount in the sinking
fuads, aud the very large surplus on
hand Of nett earnings, over and above
the dividend. The property is on firm
or foundation al the present time, than il
was aver belnre, and its advantages are
daily increasing.

At the annual meeting Of this Compa-

celebrating the Centennial anniversary of
the enactment of its charter, which was
granted by the General Assembly, August
24th, l747, came under consideration,
and, after debate, was referred to the
Board Of Directors. The Directors, we
understand, concurring in the propriety
ofa celebration, and anxious to impart to
it all the attraction and interest, which the
best talents can confer, have unanimously
requested the Hon. WILLIAM HUNTER,
President ofthe Company, to prepare and
deliver an Address on that occasion, which
we are gratified to learn, he has consented
to undertake. A meeting ofthe Company
preparatory to arrangements for the cele-
bration, will be held at some convenient
day, to be named hereafter, of which due
notice will be given by the Directors.

Ii will be noticed in the Congressional
proceedings that the House has passed
resolutions Of thanks to Gen. Taylor, ac-
companied with amendme nts, which max e
them neither more nor less than resolu-
tions Of "censure" instead Of "thanks. "
II remains to be seen whether the Sen

resolutions. The N. Y. Commercial
says cit will depend upon the Calhoun
men. But il they pass, and are commu-

probably find him a match for them.
