Now on tip-toe, benight leg still extended, she moves slowly round, liberally extending to all her patrons within sight, the most favorable opportunity of scrutinizing the graces ol her figure, while the whole house te?tifvheir infinite gratification at the sight by every species of applause.

INDIAXA COLLEGE. The annual examination of this nictitation took plaee on Monday and Tuesday the i3th and 29th ultimo, m the presence of the board of trustees and other friends of the college. All the classes gave abunJ:mt evidence that the faculty had ?i m labored in vain during the last year, and that they had not spent it without great advantage to them--eives, and honor to their teachers.

The ninth annual report of the pres-

i.loni nnil directors to the stocUliom

ers of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-

rnn.l rnmnauv has iust been made

This ronort. which will be looked

to with great interest by the public at Innr.O n well as those to whom

it is more particularly addressed,

shall be laid before our readers to

morrow. In the mean time, we

arc gratified in being able to state, that it cives a satisfactory view of

the operations of tho company for the past year, and presents such da

ta, grounded upon facts and otnciai

details, as must bo deemed quite

conclusive as to tho healthy, flour

ishing condition, and future pros

pects of this great corporation in its aim and results, so eminently

conducive to public convenience, ami to the interests of agriculture

and commerce.

Amnnnr other nleasinff items of

a ' . , . . . intelligence comprised in tins re

port, is that of the steady and con

slant increase of the business at Harper's Ferry since the extension of the railroad to that important point. In assuming that this increase will be permanent, the report,

we understand, takes occasion to pay a high and deserved tribute to the liberal policy of our Baltimore

merchants, to whom this new trade has been directed, for the efforts whic h thev have made to render this

market popular and attractive in

sections of die country, where,

hitherto, it has been comparatively

but little known. Some notice ot

the operations of die Winchester

and Potomac railroad company are appropriately introduced in the report, from which we learn that the entire line of that road, from Winchester to the river, is expected to bo completed for use during the present year. Thus, in a very short time more, will there be an uninterrupted railroad communication between Baltimore and Winchester, a

distance of one hundred and twelve

miles.

The views heretofore cxprcssei

by the board of directors, in regard

to the business that would be crea

ted by the railroad along its course

have, we learn, been fully realized

The receipts of tho transportation department, which afford unerring

evidence boih of the value and pro grcssivc increase ofthc trade there

on, will be found particularly satis

factory. Ihese receipts lor the present year exceed those of the

last by nearly 58,000 dollars, while

the expenses during the same peri ii i .

oo nave only increased, as we un

derstand, about 23,000 dollars.

Thus showing a nctt increase of receipts for that department of about :t5,000 dollars. The gross revenue of the company, for the year ending on the 1st instant, is" stated at $203,378 10. The expenses during the same period are $150,20139 leaving a nett revenue of $107,163 71. Since the opening ofthc Washington railroad the amount of trav

el and intercourse between the two

cities has greatly increased. The

average at this time rs understood

lobe about two hundred persons per day. Large numbers who for

merly came to Baltimore by the bay

route, now ascend the Potomac,and

avail themselves of tho railroad.

The results already fully justify the policy of taking the greater part of

the slock of this road on account of

the company. The distance from

The fresh intelligence from Europe wears an important aspect, We insert the more ample accounts of the progress of revolution or anarchy in Spain that general dissolution of the bonds of central government and social order, which was to be anticipated, from the nature

of the war between the pretenders

the administration at Madrid. Spain presents the same confused picture as she did in 181 i 12, but without a common spirit and end. Foreign intervention is a doubtful experiment with such a people, and having no general and definite purpose, and agitated by the -fiercest passions acting on blind ignorance, the return to Any degree of tranquility and subordination, is a problem that defies all common sagacity and principles of solution.
