The i following memorial has been eigned by -the IVcsidents and Vice Presidents of the Pennsylvania Cen tral Company. and of nearly every Company in the State. The Pitts 'burgh Commercial, in commenting on it, says: That consumers of railroad iron will remember some years since, when our railmills were forced to sus pend owing to foreign competition, how the price of rails was run up to a point per ton higher than that for which -our works were able and willing to make them before they closed. Our railroad companies pairing to foreign uaers, ueiore our mius couia gener ally resume operations, 850,000,000 more than they would have paid to , American raii-malcers for tho same quantity o iron :r v To the Finance Committee of the Sen ; ate of the United States, and the Committee of Ways and Means of the 11 ouse of Representatives . of the unuea states : t Gentlemen : Immediately before the, -construction of the first steel rai manufactory in this country, foreign makers charged 150 per tun (equal to $225 currency) for, steel rails. ) As American works were" built, foreign skilled labor, introduced, homo labor v instructed, aud domestic irons olays ganistcr and spiegel (after many and V expensive trialsYfound to produce ex- euk tuns, mo puu oj me ioreigo article wis gradually lowered until it now stands at less than $70 per tun in gold (or $96 38 currency). Now that several millions of dollars have been .expended - inmachincry, furnaees and experiment in perfecting tho process of Bjanuiacturc in this country, and num bcrs of ou ovrn citizens aro dependent upon it for support, the business is threatened with annihilation by the pressure of English and Prussian mak ers. We, as users of steel rails and transporters of the lood and material ivmencan manuiaciurcs, arm uiuir uu merous employees and skilled laborers, do not desire to be dependent cxclu- sively upon the foreign . supply, and therefore joined in asking that instead of the present advalorem d,uty a spe- for tho exi8tenco of gold exchanges, cific duty of two cents per pound be an(j tDat tbey aro a source of measure placed upon this article, being the rate ieg3 cvji3 and 0Uj,nt to be destroyed. !:. nxea Dya mn wnicn passeu me senate January 31, 1367, and of a billhich wareported to the House by the Com- uinbc ui y ajo auu i'iu3 uuum v..o m tue aDiuiy oi our trauc aua me non same year, provided that all steel rails estv 0f our people, and at homo the contracted j for by railroad companies country was injured in its busines-H and UCluru uauuary x, loiv, uu iuuuuwi rates oi aucy ior six monuis anur uie rfassace of an net fixing the duty as i : ti: i f . Pricesi of Agricultural Labor. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington, says the statistical division, under Mr. Dodge, in the Department of Agricut- i , . , ture seems to be well organized : "Questions in regard to the labor, re- sources, and wealth of the people arc ig careiui consideration, anu some conclusions wrncn nave Deen rc;ichcd ara decidedly in opposition to others recently announced by Mr. Wells. Careful returns received from every part of the country in regard to th3 prices i paid for labor show that wages arc highest where the people arc most lniemsrenc, wnerc pursuits are most varied,, and whetc skill is exer cised in agriculture, mining, and in manufactures. Without ouotinc larce ly from the many columns of figures it is sufficient to state that the wapres paid per month, without board, in the Eastern States arc' $33. '30: in the Middle Slates, 630 07: in the West- em, $ Ul in the bout hern, in Oregon, $3a 7o, and in California, S 15 71. Local variations arc equally significant ; thus, in Ohio the average is $28 4Gj in the Miami alley of this State, devoted to stock and grain, and containing the. richest land, $23- 79; and in tho Western Reserve, de- voted to dairying and manufactures, S30 43 ; In West Virginia tho average is 325 35 j but in a few of its coun ties, called the Pan Handle, where sheep are largely grown, and the soil has become highly productive, the av erage is S3 1 75. In Kentucky the average is S20 32 ; in her river coun- tiesr $24 23 ; but in the river counties of Ohio, where there arc extensive sncep farms ana iron works, tuougn tne land is quite hilly, the average is 2b,- 27. From these figures it is to be gathered that wr.ero only a lew com- mon industries prevail, wages arc low ; that wherejmany, and of a skillful na ture exist, they are; high; hence that the growing of staples for exportation. to be used; as food for manufacturing purposes by foreigners, leads to poverty and debasement.

The To port relieves Mrs. Grant and General l0rte' from vtho suspicions of gold gambling. All the public, funds cn- trusted to UuttcHicld were faithfully accounted for. Jt is not conclusively proved that he was concerned with the conspirators, though the evidence on this point is conflicting Gould swearing positively that ho bought two lots of al- tether a m nn nnd a half of hi for UuttorCeld, who, on the other hand, denies this statement under oath. It was proved that during his whole term of office he was dealing largely in (Uni ted States bonds on his own account. The committee recommended the adop tion of a resolution that the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to report a bi!l levying such tax on gold exchange and gold exchnne clearings as in their judgment the interests of the country demand; that the commit tee be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill to pun jh conspiracy against the credit of the country and business of the people. try and business of the peopl Cox and Jones unite in a minority report.

J0th reports were laid on the tabic and ordered printed. This gives tho com mittte control ot the matter, so that they may call it up at any time. Cuban Affairs. , New York, March 3.A Havana letter gives the details of the arrest and execution by the Spanish, of al leged members ot the Cuban Junta at Santiago. The arrests numbered from from forty to fifty and eighteen were executed, including two Americans. Tho victims were arrayed before the Commission and condemned, and then admitted the existence of tho associa tion to which they belong, but they denied its. being a political junta, and said it was only a Masonic Lodge, and that, they met as Masons for Masonic purposes. This defence seemed to have angered instead of satisfying tho Span iards. A Catalonian priest, who has bf,en A t for. .tho.u,ltrai8.m of h.18 alty and for his violent denunciations of the Cubans, pronounced h ree" Ma sons no better than insurgents.

St; i Petersburg, March 2. 4- A short. time before the death of jiurlin- jauie, tho Chinese Embassadors had a first audience with the Czar, to whom hey were presented by Prince Ger schakoff. liurlingame introduced hi.4 bl)w Kmbassadors and addressed the Emperor as follows: "Sir. in the name of myself and niy colleagues, I have be honor to present a letter of the hm- pcror of China accrediting us to you and expressing his wishes for the hap piness and health of your Majesty, and the Imperial family, and for the pros perity of your subjects. 1'crnnt me o recall to mind the relations of your able representative at Pekin, Ccn.

Ihc Lmperor replied : "It is agree able to see you here, for 'you present fresh proofs of tho pacific relations which unite Kussia and China; for the negotiations which you arc about to en ter frpoo; will draw them closer.

' Effects of Silence and Dark- NEi8.-lr. Jane, .na 'other Artie voy agers, all testified that in those regions 'where eternal silence teigns supreme," the effect upon tho brain and car, from the absence of sonorous impulses in tho atmosphere, is exctcding'y annoy ing and absolutely injurious to the au ditory nerves. As the organs of hear ing are destroyed by loud and contin ued noise, and an intense light- will weakenrand ulimately destroy the pow er of sight, so it would. appear that the auditory or optic nerves become im paired by the partial or total depriva tion of 'their natural stimulus, light or sound.

Kails ; Smith, ot Uhi cao, wishing experimentally to inwes tigate this subject, recently speut a considerable length of time in the Kentucky Mammoth Cave,-whcre si lence and impenetrable darkness reign ed supreme. The effect was very dis tressing and almost insurmountable, re suiting in temporary defectiou of hear ing and abcration of mind. From his his, own experience, this gentleman is firmly convinced that the blindness of the finny denizens of this cave have been brought about gradually through successive generations, and from his observations he is confident- that the sense of hearing is also wanting in these beings, although originally, exist ing in the species when first immersed m their, living tomb.
