During the present year, there shall be allowed a drawback of seventy-three per cent on the amount of tolls paid on the transportation of mineral coal from the west to tide water or to the Junction canal, provided such coal shall be delivered at tide water, or at some point on the Junction canal or on the Champlain canal; and the like drawback shall be allowed of seventy-three per cent on the amount of tolls paid on the transporta tion of anthracite coal from tide water to Utica, which shall be delivered at that place, or at any point west thereof; the amount of such drawback to be refunded to the per sons paying the said tolls, under the direction of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, on the production of such evidence as they shall prescribe, of the said tolls having been paid, and of the delivery of such coal as herein provided.

It will be perceived from the above that the rates of toll on "coal," "pressed hay," "split posts and rails for fencing," packet boats and passengers, have been modified. The former regulations of the board in relation to monthly statements and commuta tion toll on passengers have been repealed, and hereafter all boats running night and day will be required to pay the toll on passengers at the termination of each trip.

Average cost per mile, $17,561.

The first four of these roads are graded for a double track. The cost of the Utica and Schenectady railroad includes all the charges incidental to construction account from the commencement up to January 1, 1841. In the above table of railroads in this state, the cost of the Harlem, and the Mohawk and Hudson, are not included. The former has a very expensive tunnel, and is in every other respect much above the cost of any other road, completed or in contemplation. The latter was the pioneer road, and could now be constructed for, at most, one half of its original cost.

LIGHTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF GOTTENBURG.

Charles Tottie, Esq., in a communication dated London, (England,) March 5th, 1841, in a letter to the Swedish and Norwegian General Consulate, gives the following translation of an ordinance issued by the royal navy board, at Stockholm, on the 12th of January, 1841.

First-That a lighthouse of stone has been erected on the island of Winga, situated outside the entrance to Gottenburg, in lat. 57° 37′ 30′′ N., lon. 29° 46' E. of Ferro, in which lighthouse will be placed a standing Lentill light, of the third degree, whose light, when spread around the whole horizon, will be visible at a distance of three geographical, or German miles.

Secondly-At the same time as the light at Winga shall be exhibited, auxiliary lights will be exhibited on the Bush Rock, (Buskaret,) and on the Bott Island, (Botto.) These two auxiliary lights will serve the navigator for his guidance when coming to an anchorage during the night in the channel leading to Gottenburg.

Thirdly-Further information will be given when the time for the exhibition of these lights is definitively settled.

Similar information has been received from our chargé d'affaires at Stockholm, and was published, under the direction of the department of state, April 26, 1841.
