INLAND TRADE. Notwithstanding the transportation of produce and merchandise from East to West by the Pennsylvania Canal and rail way, the transportation through Chame bersburg by wagons on the turnpike to and from Baltimore, is greater for the last six months than it has been for 15 years. The receipts of tolls at the turnpike gates, are certain evidence of the state and amount of this inland trade. The tolls received on the Chambersburg turnpike of 15 miles in the direction of Gettysburg and Baltimore,for six months, from the 1st of Noven ber last to the 1st of May inst., are $3487 17, a sum surpassing considerably the receipts of tolls, on the road in the same six months for more than 15 years. The managers of this Company on the 4th instant, declared a dividend of 4 per cent. on the stock for the last six months, though ex penses of repairs had been increased by reason of the increase of travel on the road. On the first Monday of November last, a dividend was declared of 34 per cent, on the same, for the preceding six months. The receipts of toll on the same road in 1820, for the six months, from 1st November to 1st May, were In 1825, for the same six months, 1830, 1835, $2120 00 2020 90 2646 30 3487 17 Nine-tenths of the transportation on this road is believed to be to and from the Baltimore market; and as this turnpike is a part of the direct road from Baltimore to Pittsburg, the increase of tolls is evidence, that Bal timore still enjoys with western Pennsylvania by this means of intercourse, a trade greater than she has before possessed. The tolls received at the three Turnpike gates west of Chambersburg, being in the direction of Pitisburg, for, the last six months, show the trade that is entriely west of this to be great The tolls received at those three gates, and for December, January, February, March, April, $585 497 538 766 993 987 $4,366 errupted, the transportation by the turnpike road wagons will be immense and increasing; and from the experience of the present season, there is reason to be. lieve, that even during the canal season, there will still be a considerable transportation by the turnpike wagons. There is also reason to think that the trade will increase so much between the eastern cities and the west, that the Pennsylvania Canal will not be sufficient to accommodate it, what appear to us to be objects of the first impor. tance in an exhibition of Domestic Manufactures.They are, to present to the public in a convenient com pass, specimens of the ability of our artisans to fabricate those articles which are needed for daily use in all the departments of civilized society, and by competition in the display from different manufactories, to exhibit, for the benefit of all, not only the perfection and taste, but also the defects of each; thus raising the standard of The fail road proposed to be made from Harrisburg excellence, and producing, by an honorable and open to Chambersburg, would afford such facilities of trans appeal to disisterested judges, the stimulus of hope to portation from Chambersburg to Philadelphia, as would the unsuccessful, and the cheering influence of victory occasion almost an entire diversion of the trade by the to the successful competitor. Whilst the Committee turnpikes east and north of Chambersburg. It would are anxious that the regular products of the manufacalso attract a large portion of the trade of Franklin tories and work shops of their fellow citizens should connty, which also passes to the Baltimore market, by form the mass of the exhibitions, they do not wish to the Waynesborough turnpike, or by the way of Hagers- be understood as at all opposed to the display of those town; and it would also supply the towns of Carlisle, beautiful specimens of Art which daily emanate from Shippensburg, and Chambersburg, and the whole Cum- the hands of our artisans.

The advantages to Philadelphia of such a road, must be obvious, as it would give to her a large trade now possessed by Baltimore, To the state as well as the rail road companies from I.ancaster to Harrisburg, it must be advantageous, as the transportation on this road, would be so much added to the transportation on the Philadelphia and Columbia rail road, and the Lan caster and Harrisburg rail road. The country through which this proposed rail road would pass, is so well known, as peculiarly favourable for the location and construction of such a road, that it is deemed unnecessary to remark on the many circumstances that exist in relation to it, that would lessen the expense of construction and afford a road with but little elevation. C. PREMIUMS OFFERED BY THE FRANKLIN • Address of the Committee on Premiums and Exhibi- ADDRESS To the Manufacturers and Mechanics of the United States. The Committee on Premiums and Exhibitions of the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the promotion of the Mechanic Arts, respectfully announce that the Ninth Exhibition of American Manufactures, under the auspices of the Institute, will be held in the city of Philadelphia, from the 6th to the 10th day of October, 1835. The Committee, with an anxious desire to make the Exhibition as extensively useful as possible, addressed invitations to the several Associations of Mechanics in this city requesting them to suggest such objects for premiums as the present state of their respective trades required; and they are happy to state, that the Stone Cutters' Company have authorised the distribution of several pecuniary premiums. The list of premiums offered is larger, and embraces a greater variety of objects than on any former occasion, and has been framed with special reference to those branches of native industry which need the fostering care of the public, and contribute to render our country truly independent of foreign nations for a supply of the necessary articles of domestic comfort. Inviting for this effort to promote the Mechanic Arts the same confidence and support which have hitherto been given, we take the liberty to offer a few remarks on to elaborate and costly works. To display fully the vast extent of our manufacturing industry, and its importance as one of the vital parts of our civil institutions, the Exhibitions of the Franklin Institute were established, and have been steadily pur sued. Those entrusted with the management of them, have been anxiously and impartially interested for the reputation and success of all the depositors; and it is believed, with a fair allowance for the fallibility of human judgment, they have hitherto succeeded in administering their arduous and delicate duties to general satisfaction. Pledging ourselves to use all possible care in the selection of Judges, and to give to the necessary regulations for conducting the Exhibition due effect, we confide the subject to your hands, under the belief that you will make it worthy of the Institution, of yourselves, and of our country.
