IN the charges for the transportation of passengers and
freight The immense amount Of travel between this
city and Boston, has produced movement the Part
OF the Western Railroad Company, that may lead to
complete revolution in the policy pursued by the
agemen OF that road for the past two years While the
receipts OF every other railroad in the country week
y increasing the receipts of the Western Railroad Com
pany weekly decreasing, and unless some change
soon made in the tariff of charges the surplus on hand
will be pretty thoroughly cleared out the payment Of
the dividend due on the lst of September.


The increased tonnage of the boats navigating the
nails OF this State from to reduces the expen
of transporting produce reduces the number lock
ages and enables the State from time time to reduce
the tariff of tolls Whatever tends reduction in the
of tolls the canals of this State should by all
means be encouraged as the necessity for doing be
comes apparent every day Works of internal i'm
provement are in contemplation all sides OF us. Works
that must come into competition with canals, will
before many years elapse be constructed and it is high
ly important that should anticipate these
and reduce the tolls our public works, to Sc
the principal portion of the carrying trade between
the east and the west against all competition. It ap
pears at present probable, that the only communication
between this city and the great west for many years to
come, will be the Hudson river and the Erie canal and
it is to this natural and artificial channel that we must
turn attention and centre hopes. II in the
power of Legislature enable the Erie canal to
command the transportation of the principal portion Of
the produce coming to the Atlantic markets. and of the
merchandise, SC, going west To do this it necessary
to make further reduction in the of tolls The
tolls on many articles reduced to the minimum
fixed by the Constitution but there are many still above
that rate such foreign SALT frs skins lumber and
RATS. The constitutional rates should be altered
Whenever reduction any article has been made the
aggregate tolls that article have been and
general thing, the result would be experienced
in most other items. We statement showing the
