COAL TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ..31.1N. SlR—The Coal Market at Billingsgate should, , by Act of Parliament, open 'at twelve and close at two. Such however is not. the case,the business doet not commence until one quarter of an hour before two o'clock, and the confusion which ap. ,pears.dUring that time is purposely created to prevent the curious from prying into their secrets. 'The class of persons attending here is .com posed 'of Factors and Buyers, each with their Satelitea, as Clerks, Accounters, Cap tains of ships, and Lightermen. The factors are the parties to whom the cargoes are consign ed, they have to pay the duty, clear the papers, ;aid sell the Coal, which they do at times be tel.e the rairket begins. - For the purpose of getting a high price into the list,' or setting the market going, they get some of the buyers to Sien'a'return paper w.hich is filled up so as to an is.eer. their views. Some of the buyers on the market - .freight Coals, in such case they bid a high price for one quarter of their own cargo sayiag that those Coals improve in quality, or are rood in size, or that Coals are likely to be higher nnextmarket day, and thus parties are induced to sign for the remainder of the ship at a price far vxcevding..its value, and which must greatly en haisce. the ,cost of the coals in the hands of the -consumer:; and this system of enhancement is carried so far, that some buyers have an agree meet with the pitman to allow them two shillings per chaldron on all Coals brought from such a • factor for his absolute use, or ls. per chaldron on ail signed far or puffed up. It sometimes happens that a --ship is sold, but the signing, of the return of the prices at which sold is delayed until the next market, in order to decoy _the bystanders, and sometimes the person who signs does not take a single Coal out of the ship. ft is. customary to say to the factor, I will sign for half a-ship at 365. if you will let me.have them at 345. this is done by first rate buyers to deceive the public,and , to get 2s. extra from the under buyers. Amongst the second rate buyers are some who are obliged to take the Coals on whatever terms the F actor thinks proper toimpose,and this in a certain .degree accounts for there being three prices for one and the same Coal on the same market day. The buyers in retailing to the accounters sell ,_upon the price returned in the list published, and the confusion and mysterious manner in wLich the transactions of the market are conducted, is purposely contrived, in order that the par ties to whom they are sold, may not know .that 'they are deceived. The Clerks of the mar ket formerly were Coal-merchants, but that has been in a certain degree done away with by an order of the Court of Aldermen, and one of Them,who carried on business some time after his appointment, intended to have entered' into it on a very large scale. The business be ing transferred to a relation, makes their in terest not direct. The only reason why they wish to have Coals of an inferior description called Wall's End is, that they may mix them with Coals of a superior description, without putting the names of the Coal on the Vendors ticket. It is impossible to prove the 'infringement of the Act of Parliament on this point, as the Clerks are so closely connected with -the trade, that they refuse to allow the books to be inspected, notwithstanding a penalty of 201. is attached to the refusal. When the first rate -buyers have a very large stock on hand, they bid sometiines 2s. or 3s. per chaldron more than the factors require; this continues sometimes during two weeks, and one market scantily supplied, will place them beyond the chance of a loss as that - creates a real rise in the price. There are two Coals that bring the merchant more than • any other, viz. Tanfield and Hartleyi. The name -being established, other coals are substituted, as, for Hartley's, Cowper, Eastpercey, lia [heath, Hampton, or Fordell; for Tanteld, Poutop, Felling, or Beaumont. The supply of these two coals is not sufficient for the London Market, therefore the price necessarily must be high ; this affords an extensive field for the Virharfingers and Lightermen to exercise their talent in substituting one for the other.—This - will be explained - in my next. ARGUS. LANAI, PROJECTED by BUONAPARTE in EGYPT. According to the estimate of the French engineers, who were in Egypt with Buonaparte, the whole expence of a deep canal, • which would connect the Arabic Gulf with the Nile and the Mediterranean, make Africa an Island, and shorten the voyage from Marseilles to Bombay one half, would not exceed 700,0001. a sum considerably less than has been expended on some single • works of the same kind in Great Britain. The canal, accord - ing to the scale proposed by the French engineers, would admit sea-vessels drawing from twelve to fifteen feet water, at the height of the Nile. But were the branch of Tymeh to answer the purpose intended, sea_vessels of moderate burthen would be able to pass from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, at all times. To Britain, Russia, Germany, an the other countries in the Northwest . of Europe, the route by the Red Sea, would probably never supersede that by the Cape, for the India and •China trade generally ; but to the French', Spaniards, Italians, Austrians, and Greeks, who have ports in the Mediterranean, .it would shorten the communication with Arabia, Persia, and India, - from a half to two-thirds. The canal would thus afford them vast advantages. There is no doubt, indeed, that it w ould give a powerful impulse to the commerce of all the States in the south and south-east of Europe, and greatly increase the intercourse between Europe and Asia. Though goods might ,continue to be generally carried between Britain and India by the present route, there is little doubt that dispatches would be alWals transmitted by the canal, and that ships fitted up ex pressly for passengers would regularly ply upon the shorter line of communication. Were it found practicable to employ steam power, it is probable that the voyage from England to Bombay, which at present occupies four months, might be accomplished by the Canal in six weeks, the distance being about 7,200 miles. Dv EL.—A meeting took place yesterday morn ing at Crantord Hounslow Heath, between V. AT—K-1r and B. T—Act—L—N, Esqrs., in consequence of a dispute ztt the Berkeley Hunt. In the fire Mr. A. was wounded in the cheek slightly, and the ailiLir terminated. The parties returned to London in the same carriage. ACCIDENT TO THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN. —An accident happened to the Lord Mayor yesterday morn ing, about ten o'clock, but we hope it was not attended with any serious results. As his Lordship, accompanied by a -Gentleman, was driving down Dawson-street, the coachman, in consequence of the density of the fog, did not perceive a large hole in the street, where the pavement was displaced, until the coach was precipitated into it. His Lordship was enabled to proceed into Morrison's Hotel, near which the tran saction occurred, but the coach was smashed in several parts. This accident is the more to be regretted, as his Lordship has been in a very delicate state of health for some time.—(Morn .ine Ilrgister.) UNITED STATES. SUFFERERS AT M RAMICIII.—The amount of subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by fire in the Pro• vince of New-Brunswick, contained op the paper at Merchant's Hall, including the sums subscribed at most of the Insurance offices, is about 3170 dollars. There will probably be two or three hundred dollars to be added, besides the contributions on Sunday last in the several churches. We have seen a statement of the collections in only fourteen churches. These amount' to about 2700 dollars. The. amount collected in Federal street church, was 529 dollars—Brattle-street church, 352 dollars— in the New South, 318 dollars- - --in the church in Chambers , street, 202 dollars. The whole amount collected in town for this object, is probably between seven and eight thousand dollars. — (Boston Advertiser.) •, The voluntary subscriptions at Merchant's Hall, for the re lief of the New Brunswick sufferers, amounted, on Monday last to 3.000 dols. Collections were taken at the different churches for the same purpose. BANKS.—WhiIe some hanks are giving way, and carrying with them the fortunes of many an industrious citizen, we see the spirit of enterprise is not so far damped as to prevent new. applications for charters. Whether public confidence in these institutions has received a damper, time only can show. The Albany papers announce that—Application will be made to the Legislature of New-York to incorporate the North American Gas Light Company in the city of New York, with a capital of 800,000 dols.—To incorporate the Erie Canal Transportation Company, capital 200,000 dols.—To incorporate the Jefferson Wet Dock Company in New York, capital 250,000 dols. with privilege to increase to 500,000 dols.—To incorporate the Ame rican Loan Company in New York, capital 200,000 dols. To incorporate the Onondago County Bank, to be located at Syra cuse, capital 300,000. 'l'o show how great was the effect of the failure of the Eagle Bank at New-Haven upon one class of the community, we will relate the following anecdote : An ignorant Hibernian, having received a check on the United States' Branch Bank in this city for his Summer's labour, presented it to be cashed.— The Teller counted bins out the amount in United States' Bank bills bearing the impress of the Eagle, which the Hiber nian at once refused to receive, declaring he would take no eaglo • notes, as the bank had failed. An attempt was ma d e to eon vince,him of his error, but in vain, but the specie was accord- ingly paid him.--:-(Bait; Pat.) SouTer AmEntca.—Our commercial intercourse with the new States of South America is becoming of increased im portance every day. We are induced to make this remark from having seen a list of clearances fbr Brazil and South America, since the . Ist August—it includes eighteen ships, sixty-six brigs, and twenty schooners, laden chiefly, we pre sume, with the produce of this country, of which flour is the most prominent article. This does not include vessels for the Spanish Main and Gulf of Mexico, nor those cleared from New - Bedford and Nantucket, which are probably whaling ships.—(Bolt. Pat.) Missounr.—The Lead Mines of Missouri arc said to be the most extensive on the globe. They cover an area of more than 3000 square miles, and the ore is of the richest and purest kind, and exists in quantities sufficient to supply the whole United States. The annual produce of the mines is more than 3,000,000 pounds, the estimate of which is about 120,000 dollars. The number of mines is 165, in which there are more than 1,100 men employed. MassacHussms.—Phis is the only State in the' Union whose constitution appoints titles to the officers of government. The Governor is entitled " His Excellency," the Lieutenant- Governor, " His Honour." From 1780, when the constitution was framed up to the present year, a period of 45 years, there have been 11 different Governors. VERMONT.— The present Constitution is somewhat different from those of the other States. The Legislative department con sists only of one body—a house of representatives—which is cho sen annually. The Executive powers are vested in a governor, and a council of twelve members, who are also annually chosen, and in whom the power or appointment to all offices not other wise provided for is vested. All bills passed by the assembly must be laid before the governor and council for revision and concurrence, or for the purpose of amendment. If they return the same with amendments, and the representatives disagree, the Governor and council may suspend the passing of the bills until the next legislature. INDlANA.—lndiana has a favourable and agreeable climate. The winters are milder and shorter than in the Northern States, and the summers are, in general. not warmer. The spring commences about the middle of February. The peach blos soms in March, and the woods arc green by the 10th of April. The country •in the upper part of the State is high and healthy, and the districts along the rivers are likewise so, with the exception of the vicinity of swamps and marshes. An extensive sale of wool took place at Boston on the 9th instant, at which Saxony wool brought 53 cents to 190 ; and Merino ' from 50 to 114 cents. The fleeces from the flock of Roger Coit, Esq. of Plainfield, Conu. fetched the highest price ; and those from the flocks of S. and L. Hurlbert and W. Kenne, Eng. of Connecticut; and of Professor Ticknor and J. Thorndike, jun. Esq. of Boston, brought from 04 to 76 cents per lb. SEVERITY OF I . 'I32.4"ISIIMENT. — At the late session of the General Assembly of Rhode-Island, Palmer Hines, who was confined in ihe jail in Washington County, as a convict, stated that the petitioner had been convicted before the Supreme Court of the crime of burning a barn and sen tenced to pay a fine of 1,000 dollars, to be imprisoned for four years, to stand in the pillory, to have both ears cropped, and be branded in the lace with the letter B. After some dis cussion, in which corporal punishments and mutilations were condemned, the petition was rejected by a vote of 211 to 22, principally on the ground, that to acquiesce in it would be to • cast an indirect censure on the Court which passed the sentence. It appeared, however, to be the general feeling, that the Court would gratify the Assembly by remitting the part of the sen tence which refers to mutilation. The Providence Journal, in reference to this application, states that James Killington, of Rhode-Island, who had been sentenced, and suffered for for gery, had made a successful application to the General Assem bly for his restoration to the privileges of a citizen. Louis-v . II,LE ADV.—Gunpowder is wagoned in large quan tities from Leexington to Louisville. A week or two shice, a wagon, loaded with about one hundred quarter kegs: of ; powder, packed in hay, was descending a bill, when the lock chain gave way. The driver stopped at the first black smith shop he came to, in order to get it repaired. The • smith immediately forged an open ring as thick as a man's finger, and clapping it, red hot, round the upright bolt in the side of the body, the wood and hay began to smoke, and he called out to the driver that he would blow his load up. The wagoner instantly turned, and tore the smith, tongs and ring away, when, by rubbing and spitting, he extinguished the fire, which had taken hold of some of the spears of hay, that ex tended through the cracks in the body of the waggon. Powder kegs are seldom made perfectly right. The consequence is, that in transporting this article, from one place to another in wagons, the jolting throws oat a considerable portion of pow der, in the shape of dust, which is caught and retained by the hay or straw in which the kegs are packed. Had another mi nute elapsed, before the wagoner seized the blacksmith, it is almost morally certain, that the whole load of powder would have exploded, as some pounds of powder dust were found in the bottom of the wagon, when unloaded. In the proceedings of the common council of the city of New York, one of the Aldermen stated a fact which shows the very rapid improvement of the city. The increase on the value of real estates in one of the Wards was stated to amount to the sum of nine millions of dollars. Bellows Falls are in Connecticut river, at Walpole. The whole descent of the river, in the space of 100 rods, is 44 feet. There are several pitches, one above another, at the highest of which a large rock divides the stream into two channels, each about 90 feet wide. The population of Tennessee in 1800, was 105,602 ; the cen sus of 1820 made it 422,613. The population in Louisiana in 1810, was 20,825 ; in 1820, it had increased to 153,4t)7. The city of Boston has appropriated 78,500 for the benefit of its schools during the current year. RHODE Isnalen.—Four new Lotteries have been granted at the present session of the Legislature. The Ohio river is now very low, and very few steam boats can run without a great risk. Mississippi and Alabama contained in 1800, a population of 8,856; in 1820, the number was 219,756. SAGACITY OF RATS.—A t Amsterdam, in a street called the Wood-market, recently lived a man, who was curious in keeping fowls. One of his hens, though in the midst of summer, had several days stopped yielding her usual produce, and yet made her usual cackling ; he searched the nest, but could not find even the shell of an egg, which made him re solve to watch her closely. He accordingly the next clay placed himself in such a situation as to be able to observe her motions minutely ; when to his great surprise he saw her discharge her egg, but no sooner was she off the nest, than three rats mad• their appearance. One of them immediately laid himself on his back, whilst the others rolled the egg upon his belly, which he clasped between his legs and held it firm ; the other two then laid hold of his tail and gently dragged him out of sight. This wonderful sagacity was exhibited for severaf,days to some curious observers. IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEER. LIST of PEERS Who voted at the late ELECTION for a RE PRESENTATIVE PEER of IRELAND.

Watson and Co. v wholesale lace-men, Gutter-lane, was charged with defrauding his employers. The prisoner had been in their employ about 8 years, with a handsome salary, and upon a discovery that he had not accounted for certain sums of money ke had received, he absconded a few days ago, and Charles Ilerdsfield, the officer, was employed to apprehend him. Ilerdstield prowled about the prisoner's dwelling-house at lloxton to little purpose, until twilight on Christmas morn ing, when, being satisfied from some circumstances that Ferrar was at home, he told amok-woman who was passing that some milk was wanted at that house, the woman knocked, the door was opened, the officer rushed in, and the prisoner was found hiding himself in an attice. Sir. Burnside, of the firm of Watson and Company, produced a book containing two entries in the prisoner's hand-writing, that he had received, on the 6th October, 391. Bs. of Mr. Griffin, of Leicester-square, and, on the 17th of November, 501. from the same gentleman. Mr. Griffin was then called, who proved that the payment to the prisoner on the former day was 611., and on the latter 231. bs. Mr. Watson said, he was generally resident at their factory at ' Nottingham, and that the prisoner had never accounted at the time, or since, to him or any of the firm, for any other amount than he had entered in the books. The prisoner offered no de fence, and was committed for embezzling the mosey he had not accounted for. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Samuel Cliford, a labouring man, was brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, on a charge of stealing seven cabbages from a plantation belonging to a gentleman named Hutchins, at Earl's-court, Kensington. The prisoner was seen, on Sunday morning, by a watchman in the service of Mr. Hutchins, to get over the wall enclosing] the plantation, and very deliberately cut seven large cabbages which he threw into an adjoining field, and following them, he was making off when the watchman seized and detained him. In his defence, the prisoner said that his wife had been in la bour since six o'clock on the over night, and she had taken a desperate longing for a mess of cabbage, and, thinking that if she had her wish, she would be the sooner out of her trouble, he thought he would get some at all hazards. It was church time, and the shops were shut, and so In.: went to Mr. Hat chins's ground and helped himself. Sir It. ButsuE said that if the prisoner's story was true, he might have contented himself with a lesser number than seven. His wife could not, however ravenous, have devoured so many. The prisoner said there was no telling when a woman was in that way what she might ta t ke it into her head to eat Sir It. BIIINIE said he would not, as he might do, commit the prisoner under the new Statute for the felony, but tine him under an old Act of Parliament, 20s. and costs.—The pri soner paid the fine and W fa.; discharged. Thomas Spring Rice, Esq. M.P., arrived at the Peacock at • Islington, on Saturday night, by one of the northern coaches, and having called a hackney coach, he saw his luggage safely deposited, and ordered the coachman to drive to his house, in Upper Baker-street, Portman-square. On his arrival there the .Honourable Member paid him his fare, anti left him to deliver the luggage to his servants. The coachman, howqver, kept, Avhether !Wilfully or not can only be matter of inference, one 'trunk back, and drove awey with it. This trunk contained, among other property, 385/. in sovereigns. The Hon. tientle man, on missing the trunk, gave information at this office, and Salmon, the active principal officer of the establishment, com menced an inquiry, and in the course of a few hours he ascer tained where the coachman was to be found. He took him into custody, and he at once confessed that he had the trunk, but de clared that he did not discover it for some time after he put Mr.. Rice down, and that it was his intention to return it. Salmon got possession of the trunk, and luckily found the contents in static quo. The coachman underwent a private examination be fore Sir R. Birnie yesterday. and the time (four days) within whieh it is imperative on a hackney-coachman to deliver at the Ilackney-coach Office any property he may find, not having elapsed, and he persisting in his statement, that his intention was honest, he was discharged. Mr. Rice liberally rewarded Salmon for his services, and spoke in high terms of the activity of that officer. William Burke, a lad of 17, was brought up, charged with the following daring robbery. Mr. George Lewis, a respectable tradesman, stated, that he and a friend were going through Hassell-court, Drury lane, about one o'clock on Sunday morning, when they met a gang of at least 30 men and boys, all armed with clubs and sticks. They first surrounded his friend, assaulted him severely, and attempted to rob hint of his watch. He resisted desperately, and the witness, going to his assistance, was attacked by the prisoner, who gave him a blow on the face, and snatched off his hat, with which he ran away. Witness pursued him, and, the prisoner falling clown, he was secured by a watchman ; but he had contrived to give the hat to some of his companions in the chace, and it was lost. Mr. Lewis's friend corroborated the above statement, and the prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence, except what was known already, that he had fallen clown and broken his head, was fully committed for trial. James Deane was brought up, charged with a robbery of a description somewhat similar to the one above described. A man, named Davis, a: porter at the Bell and Crown, Holborn, was going home about one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he was surrounded by several fellows, who beat hint and robbed him of a great coat, which he had on his arm. They attempted to rob him of his watch and money, but he contrived to pre vent them. He secured the prisoner, who was one of the most active of the gang. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed. HATTON-GARDEN. • Information was given at this Office yesterday morning that two hampers, containing 83 pieces of crape gauze, in an un finished state, and about six or seven pounds of waste silk, were either lost or stolen from the Amersham waggon on Tues day last. The hampers were addressed to Messrs. Jennings and Son, Worship-street, Finsbury. Mary Husscv, an Irishwoman, was placed at the bar, charged with inflicting; sundry blows on Ann Cain, with an intent to mur der her.—Ann Cain was brought forward, and she appeared in so low and weak a state that she was accommodated with a chair ; but still she was so weak that her words could not be heard, and consequently she was placed close by the side of the Ma gistrate. She then deposed to the fbllowing effect :—I live at No. 7, Margaret-row, Burton-crescent. Last night, at about eleven o'clock, I came home from work. The prisoner lodges in the same room with me, and I found her there with her sweetheart. After some conversation he parted with her, and I went to bed ; and in about half an hour afterwards she com menced abusing me, saying that I had taken away her sweet heart, for that he admired me more than he admired her. and then commenced her attack upon me. I did not know what it was she struck me with. Previous to the sweetheart going the prisoner said she waived some tea, but I said it was too late ; this was the substance of the complainant's testimony.—The landlord of the house and another witness gave evidence con firming. this statement. The cosnplainant had been con veyed by the landlord to the Middlesex Hospital, but no person from that place was in evidence to-day. A quart pewter pot was produced, covered with blood, with which it was said the wounds were inflicted, and one witness swore to having heard the prisoner say that she would have the life of the complain ant. The landlord stated, that he was present when the wounds were dressed, and that they were of a very dangerous nature. — The Magistrate, under these circumstances, remanded the pri soner until Saturday next.
