Your committee find the Indebtedness of the Com

due until 1859; leaving balance of $55, 900; of
which 900 are now in judgments, and the re.
naming 81 900 will be, if not provided for
1t therefore becomes an indispensable preliminary
that the $55 600 above mentioned must be provided
for by the Company in some way, or the equity of

GREAT FREsHETs.-The late thaw Of snow and ice
has occasioned great freshets in the rivers, which
have resulted in serious damage to property. In
many places navigation has been arrested, ships and
steamboats, sunk, and portions of railways covered
or swept off, thus arresting travel.
The food was higher in Albany, N. Y, than ever
before known and the loss of property is estimated
at g. OO0 0OO The foods were also very destructive
at Chicago, Wheeling, Cincinnati, Phiadephia, and
along the Juniata, the Susquehanna, the Potomac,
and many other rivers.
