At Boston there has been rather more inquiry
for money, within day or two, though there is no
material advance in the rates. More prime paper
has been in the street, which, however, is readily
taken up at the rate of y cent.
At Baltimore money is still very abundant, and
may be had to any extent at y cent. The ope-
rations in Stocks for the week are quite limited,
and prices remain about the same as at the close
of last week.
From the recent report of the Directors of the
Troy and Rutland Rail Road, it appears that
Barker, Sppery n Co. contracted to construct
this road and fit it for the cars for $4,000 p
mile this to coverthe cost of iron, land damages,
&C. &c. The Directors have purchased LOO
tuns of best quality Of iron, manufactured by al
ley, Brothers q Co., of Liverpool, to be delivered
at New.York duriug the present and two succeed
ing months, at $50 y tun. The Directors have
every reason to believe that the contractors will
complete their work by the first of July next.
The part of the road from Rutland to Castleton,
which belongs to the Rutland and Washington
r h. Co, has been in successful operation since
October last and the remainder ofthe road, north
of Salem, is in such state of forwardness that it
can be completed by the let of July next.
The Buffalo Commercial has the annexed sig
ni6cant article upon the Erie Railroad arrange
ments
Below will be found another interesting letter
from our intelligent correspondent at Dunkirk,
announcing the completion of sundry arrange
ments between the View York and Erie Railroad
Company, and the company thence to Erie and
also an arrangement between the New. York and
Erie Railroad aud Gen. Reed, the Messrs. Ward,
and the Michigan Central Railroad, by which a
regular line of boats is to be established between
Detroit and Dunkirk, in connection with Elk
press trains to be run from the latter place to
New. York.
The citizens of Buffalo do not at all appreciate
the energy and perseverance manifested from the
first by the present able President of the n. Y.
and +. h. II. Co.. and the board of directors, TO
secure the lions share Of the travel between
New-York and the West, and necessarily to d.
vert that travel from Buffalo. No sensible man
can doubt, that il an express train is run from
Dunkirk 70 Jersey City in fifteen hours as as IN
tended TO be Done that people enough will be found
to ride, and that q current OF travel will rush
astOnishment Bufslonians may depend upon it,
that line of boats running from the Michigan
Road to Dunkirk another from Sandusky to Dun
kirk and another from Cleveland to Dunkirk, will
take from our Hotels and Railroads and Canal
boats and indeed from all kinds of business, such
numbers Of customers as will be far from agree.

DusKrRK Monday, Feb s. 1851.
The great uncertainty respecting the final ar
rsngement and location OF the different Railroads
in Chatauque County during the past year has
perhaps done more than anything else to keep the
public mind in an unsettled state nrelatlon TO tue
future prospects of Dunkirk. This matter, now
ever may be considered as settled. The six foot
gusge ofthe New York and Erie Railroad Is to
be extended to Erie, and the four feet eight and q
half inch of the central Railroads OF New YORK IS
to be extended from Buffalo to the state line OF
Pennsylvania, crossing the New York aud Erie
Railroad at point about three miles east OF Dun
kirk in such a manner as TO admit OF no conye-
nient connection for building purposes The In.
terests Of Dunkirk may therefore be considered
as being thoroughly and permanently identified
with the New.York and Erie Railroad.
The present location of the Buffalo and state
Line Road, leaves the hsrbor of Duakirk free
from any competition against the New ork and
Erie Railroad Company. la view OF this fact the
Company have recently purchased another wharf
in the harbor, and have entered into negotiations
with Mr. Brooks Gen. Reed, and Capt w ard for
the establishment OF daily nne OF hrstClass
boats TO run between Dunkirk and Detroit, IN
connection with the Express trains Arrange
ments will also be made TO connect with Cleve-
land, Sandusky and Toledo.
The Cincinnati Gazette, one of the most intlu-
entail and reliable newspapers in the State, thus
speaks Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad;
"There is no Railroad Stock in the country pos
sessing as permanent and prospective value as
the stock Of this Road. There is no road having
greater advantages Of locality and will secure the
transportation and travel Of a more extensive re-
gion of country; and there is Road, in the judg-
ment and business capacity Of whose Directors
and Stockholders, greater confidence can be
placed.
E"In the first place, the Roads located along the
line Of the great tboroughfare Of the trade and
ira, from the North and North w est to the chief
city--the great Dep6t--of the West it passes
through Counties Of surprising fertility and pro-
ductiveness numerous poPulous towns and villages
along the line, and numerous commercial and man.
ufacturing cities at each end which now furnish
daily at least 500 passengers to stages omnibuses
and canal packets.
This Road is to connect also with other roads
leading 10 Northern, North Eastern and Central
Ohio and the Lakes; and with Others leading TO
