l.ft off very buoysnt The transactions in Erie

anticipate large increase of traffic from the ar
rangement recently made to unite with tse New
Haven and New-London and New-London and
Palmer Roads This will give a land route to Bos'
ton some IS miles than the present route by
Springfield and will add largely to the general ousi'
ness of the Norwich and Worcester. The increase
from this source 1t is thought, will be some $4,000

The decision of the Supreme Court of
Ohio in relation to City and County Bonds, issued
for subscription to railroads. which printed yes
terday, is a very important one. And in connec-
ton with the consideration that the ne Constitu-
ton of Ohio prohibits the farther issue Of sucn
bonds, it places those already issued among the
strictly first class securities. Rich counties in tina.
State with millions Of taxabes have issued s200
OF $4,000 of Bonds, and are restricted from in
creasing their debt. Consequently such Bonds mus
be considered quite as good a. the Stocks OF the
State.
In Money there is no marked change, but
rather more active in consequence of the demand
in the street for the purchase of the gold by the Fl
Dorado and Daniel Webster. Loans on call still

The steamer from Boston had no specie
on board excepting $4,s5o for Halifax.
The ice is beginning to move out of the
Lake Erie haYbors, and in few days we shall prob
ably have very active business with the West over
the Erie Road. Immense amounts of freights are
waiting at the Lake ports for transportation to East
ern markets. and the increased activity among our
merchants will give upward freight enough to en-
ploy the full equipsge OF the Road.
Another important move has been made
in the progress of the great enterprise of construct
ing the Illinois Central Railroad. Advertisements
have been issued asking for proposals for building
more than one-haf the road. The sections adver-
tised are as follows:
