Oae of the most extraordinary exposures of fraud
IS now go!ns on IN New York. 1t appears that the
coroner OF that city has been charged with the habit
for years past of holding fictitious nquests and swear
ing to the returns for the sake of the fees. The first
suspicion OF the tact originated in the immense num-
ber.ot these inquests. Last year they exceeded ee.
ven hundred OF, on an average, three day. The
bill OF the officer for holding them amounted to Sl3-
600, and on its presentation for payment an nvt sga
ton was held, and the result was the discovery of
facts which led to the suspicion of fraud. A letter
writer says:
'The coroner would go to house where death
had occurred naturaly-tear up the physicians GER
tlicae, hold pretended inquest, sign the names OF
pretended Jurymen HIMSELF and take down his own
testimony. After which certificate of burial would

MEXICO-SANTA ANN A--TEE RIO GRANDE
E,OVEMENT

A correspondent Of the New Orleans Plcayune. writ.
ing from the city OF Mexico, rdcues the pretensions
OF Santa Anna and says lat he is by no mea Ms likely
to attempt demonstration at the present time In The
first place, he has desire TO return, except by the
consent OF the whole nation; and in the second he has
a very respectable dread Of Gen. Arsta who, if he
could catch the Hero Of Tampco, would hang hin to
the hrs tree that he could find suitable for The pur
pose. The writer adds: The chances, there fore are
against this Napoleon OF the South in returning from
his ory-second Eliza, it he would throw himself into
the arms OF an army which he has often led TO be
whipped. But the most poent reason of all is, that
Mexleo is so poor that Santa Annals friends do not
cons der the thing would pay. And, without plunder
these dlsinteresed patrlots would not move. Il must
aso not be forgotten that Santa Anna has v very
lew friends sincerely attached to him. And in the
present Congress l am certain that he has not five
members who dssre his return. Ii revolution should

BRICK MAKING MAcHINE.-A new machine for brick
making, wonderfully simplifying the process has been
invented in New England. II is described as made
tons. 1t turns out 5000 brick IN hour II is
worked by steam engine of20 horse power. Attached
to the machine is puserzer, which works with won
derul beauty and precision. The clay is first dried
then ground, by passing between heavy rollers, then
screened or sifted and passld into the machine, in
Uniform STATE, where it is subjected to the immense
power OF the machine, and beautiful, perfect lace
brick is produced almost as smooth and dense as
polished marble. The bricks a re taken from the ma
chine and Immediately set in the kilns ready for
burning, thereby obviang the necessity of spreading
on the yard to dry before burning well injury
loss from wet weather By this process superior face
brick can be produced, less pense than the coarsest
common brick by tho old method.

JAMES K1vER AND KANAwHA COM

At the meeting of Stockholders, Thursday
evening, Mr.. Crutchfeld, one of the State prox-
les, announced the determination of himself and
his two co-proxies, to sustain q resolution for de-
ferring the subject of the Tariff of Tolls to an
adjourned meeting, to be held during the SEES
sion of the next Legislature.
Mr.. Cabell withdrew. his proposition to refer
the subject to the President and Directors, and
to instruct them to report to the next annual
meeting; stating that his main object would be
accomplished by any course which would pre-.
vent a precpitate decision ON the question of re-
ducing the tolls.
The resolution prepared by Mr.. P. st. George
Cooke, was then agreed to in the following
form
Resolved, That the several reports from the Com
mttee on Tolls. together with the whole subject OF a
reduction of Tolls, be referred to the Board of Drec
tors with instructions to them to reform the Tariff OF
Tolls with the view of raising the largest amount of
Revenue, and OF relieving and increasing the tonnage
on the Canal, tar as in their opinion such relef
and increase of the Tonnage may not be incompatible
with the condition OF securing the largest amount OF
Revenue; and that they report 70 an adjourned meet
ing to be held Tuesday the Bird day oil February
next
mr. Cooke for the purpose of more fully explain
ing the design of his resolution, desired it to be ac-
| companed with the following note.
| Revenue remaining the same. There Is maximum
toll that will produce minimum tonnage, whilst there
| is also maximum tonnage, the result OF minimum
| toll. The idea IS that, whilst securing the minimum
revenue, you create maximum tonnage from min
| imum of tolls.
| Or to express the same algebracaly, we have, by
taking te represent revenue T represent tonnage,
| to represent tolls, max 10 represent maximum, min
| to represent mnmum-the following equations:
| Ri max Xt min and RI min. Xt max.
here representing any Revenue whatever; but if SO
| assume r as maximum (as required by the Tesolu-
tion) then we can elect to take the second member
second member OF the first equation shall be taken
| and then we have:
| r max L max. x min.
The Company adjourned to meet again on the Sd Of
| February.
