The money received from passengers between
Trenton and intervening places and Philadelphia
was s27,C7O 35, on which nc transit duty is
paid the money received for freight on Railroad
between the same places was s3053 80. The
sum of sl2O 600 was received from the Philadel-
pha and Trenton Railroad, for the use of cars To-
comotives, &c The business Of the Canal is mi
nutely stated. There were ported on it last
year SOC, 403 tuns and 9ll lbs Of coal, sho wing a
falling off Of % 523 tuns, occasioned by the break
ing of the Pennsylvania Canals nearly q million
of cubic feet of timber, nearly six million feet OF
lumber, over half million bushels of grain and
feed, 1861 barrels of corn, 2o,7sl tuns of iron,
and of general merchandise over 100000 tuns.
The damage TO the Canal and Feeder by the
freshet last Summer will cost about $500 900 to re
pair The revenue accruing to the State from transit
duties from the Joint Companies for the year, was
ss6566 III. The duty on passengers shows an
increase of S6,256 81; on merchandise Sl,7l5 l..
The whole excess of revenue Of 1850 over that Of
the highest former year is Sl4,244 Il. The gross
receipts for the year have fallen short of those of
ls4s, (which gave the largest amount) in the sum
of S4O,57O; yet the revenue to the State IN 1850
was largely increased. This apparent anomaly is
owing to the additional number Of passengers
whom low fares have induced to cross the State.

holders that the earnings of the Canal and Rail
road, since 1910. which had been added to the
permanent capital, amounted TO Ss33. 990 %, FOR
