The Rochester Democrat of Monday saya The Canal business may be saido bave closed, although the canal is still open but moi.t or the boals bave laid up, notwith standing there is still freight both up and down.

The season just closed haa been a prosperous one. General confidence seems lo be restored, and the gloom which has so long hung over our business part of community baa been dispelled. Wheal, this week, has fallen off to quoted rates. Less quantities nave Doen Drougnt in during ine woea usual. Flour remains at old prices.

Vory little has Been shipped since our last. One or two millers have some two or three thousand barrcla on hand, but are unable to get boats to take it. Dressing Pork is still selling at $3 a 3J, though not half the quantity has been brought in thi week that there waa last."

The following ffonllemon were on the 1st inst. elected Directors of the Manhattan Company for the ensuing year Jonathan Thompson, James McBride, Wm.

B. Crosby, David S. Kennedy, William W. Todd, Thomas Master, Henry Havens, Wm, H. Halsted, Edmund Penfold, Wm.

H. Russell, Edwin Hoyt, Richard S. Williams. This Board of Directors is almost an entire change of lhat portion which favored the former administration of the Bank. The gentlemon who bave held their seats lor a great number of years, but who never attended to the duties, have been left off, and a number of active practical business men put in their place.

It is a change indeed for that Institution, for with the exception or the Bank of New York, it is the oldest Bank in the city. Its charter was procured by Aaron Burr, ostensibly to supply the city with pure and wholesome water. It was, however, a political bank, and has until now, been conducted by individual hn nf tha Democratic party." It haa been in fact a dose corporation, and has for a long period enjoyed ih. tha flnrnrnment. State, and City.

Its character is by this election, for the first time changed, and from boing a bigh party bank, it now will have no party in it all. Its Directors now chosen are devoted to business, ana if they pursue a course, that the publie hare reason to believe they will, it will be a great advantage to tho business interests of the city.

It fully answers our expectations. Its contents are judicious and agreeable. It is an earnest of what its editor, can do aingle-banded, for all the promi nent article are evidently from their pen, We always rejoice at the appearance of a new and men'. torious periodical. It is an evidence that literary men have faith in the literary character of tho community.

We believe that the American people are in limo to be charac terized by a wide spread and prevalent love of literature. We believe that a taste for magazine reading is an advance Upon tlio disposition which prevails every where for paper reading. It must be to some extent concurrent with it, for at this time when newspapers arc printed in unpre cedented profusion, more able magazine, are sustained in this country than at any former period. -Difficulties arc likely lo occur at the outset of every new literary undertaking. We say, however, to the proprietors of Arclurus, go on and equal attractiveness in other numbers will gradually enaure a permanent subscription list.

The principal titlet of the present number are The Prologue Political Life Authorship Bryant's American Poets Mr. James Grant Table Talk The fall of the spire The Solemn Vendue Dana's Life at Sea Old English Bookt Henry Vaughan The City Articlo Xhe ittind of Man The Fine Arts.

Arri.ES and Pork. The following article from the Genessee Farmer, is well worthy the attention of the Long Island Farmer. But the superior cheapneei of apples is their greatest recommendation. An apple tree will stand on a square tod, making 162 to the acre. By selecting productive varieties, rood soil, and keeping the ground cultivatedjwe may safely conclude upon bushels or applee-per annum from each tree, which would be 800 bushel, to the acre.

If the trees are kinds which crow large, and require more room than one square rod, they will produce more, and so compensate for their fewness. The cost, per acre, of the land and orchard may be estimated at 980, and as the crop obtained from the ground would pay lor cultivating 11, the whole expense of the apple crop would be the interest on 80, that is $5 60 for 800 bushels which would be the rate of tcven-tenthe tf tent mer buthel. It is probable, however, that the land would rent at a trifle for tillage, which would still reduce me cost." A PROCLAMATION BY WILLIAM II. SEWARD. GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

As the people of this state are about to petition the leg. isleturo for a registry of voters, whereby, the election may hn held in one dav. with ease and security, it is well for us to know the mode as adopted in other states. A lime ngni is thrown on the plan a. existing in tho New Lngland States in the following communication inserted in the Alt).

The day the time for registration expires, it is the duty of the proper officer to make one, ttco or three topit of the namea so registered and post them up in the most public places in the town. (Usually one is placed on ths nolary.box in front of Ihe church) under the caption of "Tua Voters of this Town The number of days previoua to election that this ht is posted up, is sufficiet for it to be examined by nearly every voter in the town, and the time is ample lo strike out any 1 1 1 maw twt name or to correci any omer mipsunuvw found in the registration and that man's situation is far from being enviable that shall have caused his name to be improperly or illegally registered, sa he does not escape the vengeance ol the law with tho impunity that be does in this Stale.

Ths best training fur any man is to be obliged lo reap the rosulls of uis own actions. And it is for Ihia reason, by.lhe by, that the suns of the rich are so frequently ruined. Their par.

Sow, we hold that lo be the truest eonooption of the social slate, which allow, these laws of divine Providence, with (he least interruption, to have their free and unbiased effect. Let society secure to a mao tho opportunity of laboring when he please, where ho please, and for what compensation ho can command let it insure to him the entire disposal of whatever he may gain let it resolutely vindicate the righta of all, both the high and the low, and then lot society stand out of the way.

Let him squander hia gains in vice, and be soon will have nothing left to squander. Let him ho frugal, and virtuous, and industrious, and he and his children will day by day, reap the rewards which Trovidcnca haa connected with virtue.

To all thi our author objects. To him it is a gney anco that there should be rich and poor, that there should bo social distinctions. This is, if we understand it, he would have all men, wise and unwise, honest men and rogues, industrious and indolent, thoughlful and thought, less, selfish and patriotic, noble and mean, faro just alike, share in tlio blessings of Providence in equal measure, and equally be distinguished by tho respect and affection of their fellow citizens.

In Iho vioinily of Danville, on tho North Branch Susquchaunah Canal of Pennsylvania, there ia now io progress of erection sn establishment for making Iron with Anthracite Coal, which for extent and complete, ncss in every respect will be aiqicrior to all others in thia country, and equal, at least, lo any in Great Britain. These work, are situated in tha bear! of an iron region of the finest quality, and the access to which is of so easy and economical a character, that the ore is procured at the low cost of aizty cent per ton.

It ia now a eompletolv successful operation, and ia destined to work a thorough revolution in the iron trade of the United Slates. Bultrmort Amtrican.

From the Sunbury American. Antiikacitb I row Woslu. A few days since we vi.it ed the magnificent Anthracite Iron Works, now erecting nc.r Danville, by Chambers, Biddle Si Co. The two fur-naccs, which are now near completion, are of the largest class, and will, It is supposed, yield about 80 tons each per week. The worka are constructed in ths most durable manner.

No expense appear, to have been spared to ran. dcr every thing aa perfect as possible. A railroad is graded leading from tho ore bed," about a quarter of a mile in extent, to the top of the stack. In fact, nothing seems to be wanting to render it one of the best and most perfect works of thia kind, that can be found in thii or probably any oilier country. The abundance of coal and iron, and that loo, of a superior quality, lying contiguous to each other, ia destined, at 110 distant day, to render the valley of the Susquehan-na-, at least that portion of it abounding in coal end iron, ono of tho most wealthy, populous, and enterprising sec lions of tho Uuion.

In addition to the above, we should not neglect to notice the two Anthracite Furnaoe. now silently progressing to completion in the Shamokin coal region. These furnaces are being constructed by the Shamokin Coal Company, and are located at the eastorn end ot that oortion of the Danville and Pottsville railroad, leadinff from Shamokin to Sunbury. These furnace, arc also of the largest class, snd hrvpmtion next Soring. A valuable bed of iron ore ha.

been discovered underlaying the coal strata. Thus these lurnace can dc supplied with coal and iron ore from the pil'a mouth. These are important advantages and are beginning lo Do appreciated.

Aside from 1 the seenerv alone will induce thousands to travel lliis roule, running, aa it does, through the bowels of the Green Mountains. I lis writer says Within tl.n distance of five miles, there are nine viaducts which are formed by immense abutments and arches of m.iia stone work, which are Irom lorty 10 sixty icei span, and from thirty-five to seventy feot in height. The blocks ot stone for tho walls of tho abutments and archci, are gneiss, which, boing composed of tha same constituent minerals, is as indestructible and ponderous as granite.

The beds and ends have been hammered to a sufficiently omnnth surface, for combining the greatest strength with an architectural symmetry of appearance in thoso gigantic slructures. The abulmonts and embankment extending from thum are filled up wilb large masses of stone that are blasted in the mountain excavations, which give an inter. rainable durability to the whola of those truly suuiimo To rndnr the foundations certainly stablo, exca- vations have been made in the channel of the river, down to tho solid ledgo, in evory instance.

Mr. Prime imme-dately took his affair, in hand, rendered him pecuniary a d. and, at hie death, settled upon nis widow an annuity or five hundred dollars, sum trails ol character aa the above prove that prosperity had not, in hi. ease, hardened the heart and made it deaf to Ihe call of gratitude or dis. tress.
