it appears that the Onondaga salt exceeds
in purity the finest importations from abroad

lo00ths of the muriate of Soda. The Com
missioners state, that with additions now !,
progress, the extensive works are capable or
producing annually 1,750,0 900 bushels of en-,
salt, and 100000 bushels of coarse, making
an aggregate Of 10000 A revenue wac
derived to the state the last year of Ss3,553
SO: and for the two first quarters of the nre.
sent year, 1t amounts to S56,74O IS, more
than double the amount Spr the same term in
1892. The report expresses confident be-.
lief, that at no distant period the revenue win
exceed three times its present amount.


On Sunday morning between l and o.
clock, the Steam Boat Albemarle, belong
ing to Mr.. John Gulicg, lying at Arch
street wharf, was discovered to be on fire
We understand that she intended making !,
trip to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
yesterday, and, in order to be in state Of
readiness at an early hour, the Engineer
had made up the fires in the night and direc.
ted two OF the men, who remained on board
to attend them: but they unfortunately fell
asleep, and the Boat took fire, which had
progressed SO far before it was discovered
as to render it impossible to save her-she
was burnt down to the waters edge, and il
is believed, entirely destroyed.


The Steam Boat Albemarle was built at
New York, about Z or s years since. After
passing through the hands of several differ
ent owners, she came into the possession Of
the presentproprietor, who was about to dis .
pose. OF her to company Of gentlemen in
Norfolk, and on Saturday evening, letter
was received stating that 50, 600 had been
subscribed for that purpose.-Ph,la. haher
