Since the first publication of the Prospectus of this Company, the applications for Shares has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its projectors. A strict calculation has been made by practical men of the probable income and ex penditure of the Company, which shows a profit of upwards of fifty per cent. to be divided amongst the Shareholders, whilst it is not at all likely ever more than 41. per Share will be required to be called up, and that in instalments of 1/. each, with a notice of twenty days upon each call. The allotment of the Shares is appointed to take place on Mon day, Oct. 3, on or before which all application s be made for Shares or Prospectusses, and for every other information connected with the Company, apply to the Directors, at Mr. John Strutt's, 7, South-square, Gray's Inn.

FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE So many concerns of this nature have latety started up ; the professions and promises of all are so inviting, but their failures are so frequent and disastrous, that it behoves all prudent persons to pause before they commit their safety to untried adventures, while Offices of approved solidity and conduct are open to insure them. Such of these projects as escape the payment of heavy losses for some years may continue so long afloat, but such as, at an early stage, feel the effects of raising business by taking bad risks at ina quate rates are soon exhausted. Upwards of thirty new Insurance projects have sprung up, and broken down within as many years. In contrast with these, the undersigned Agents respectfully re commend to public attention, those long-established Offices, the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, and the PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE of London. Their Capitals in hand exceed a Million Sterling. In the County Fire Office, 170,000 persons have sought protection and have found it. Claims have been paid to 3,000 suf ferers. Returns of 10, 20, and 25 per cent., amounting to 100,000/. have been invariably paid to all who have continued insured seven years, an advantage which no other Fire Office existing has afforded. In the Life Office, the success has been equally remarkable. 'r Bonuses on Life Policies during the last thirty years have successively increased to 40 per cent..

Public attention having been directed to the supposed combination of the great coal-owners of the North to raise the price of the commodity, and to force an article of infe. rior quality upon the London market, the following extracts from the Report of the Committee presented to the House of Commons immediately before the recess, together with the evidence, though not yet published, will be interesting to our readers : The Report commences by describimg the principles and objects of the combination, or, as it is denominated by the parties themselves, the " regulation for the limitation of the vend." "It is necessary for your Committee to observe, that previous to the compact directly pointed at,' (the compact among the northern coal-owners, under the denomination of the 'limitation of the vends') an agreement is stated to have taken place in the year 1771. Meetings were called in consequence of alleged irregularities to which the coal trade was at that time subject. The result of such meet ings produced a determination to fix the prices of coal, which appear to have been settled in the ratio of the sup posed value from 12s. to 15s. the Newcastle chaldron, and the agreement seems to have been common alike to the Tyne and the \\Tear. " About the year 1786 or 1787, a particular species of compact was resorted to, which, with temporary interrup tions, yobr Committee believe to have existed ever since. Its avowed object was to apply a remedy to a heavy de pression in the price of certain kinds of coal, and to avert the danger, connected with it, of the abandonment of seve ral colleries. " This compact appears, with occasional alterations in its conditions, affecting particular pits, to have been an nually renewed, and though suspended since the Ist of January, 1800, the interruption has arisen from a disagree ment of the parties concerned on the terms of its re newal, and is by no means to be deemed a final derelic tion of the measure.' " The compact is a general one, be tween all the collieries of the Wear and those of the Tyne, by which the whole of the estimated vend on both rivers, being divided, three parts are to be supplied by the latter, and two by the former. " The precise nature of the agreements for the regulation of the vend of coals in the North, which have continued, with some interruptions, from the year 1771 to the present time, is rendered very clear by the evidence of Mr. Robert William Brandling, a part owner in three colleries on the Tyne, and Chairman of the Committee of coal-owners at Newcastle. " In 1880 he explained to the Committee the nature of the regulation as follows : " When it is understood by the coal-owners that all the parties interested in the coal trade on the Tyne and Wear are willing to.enter into an arrangement of this nature, a representative is named for each of the colleries, these re presentatives meet together, and from amongst them choose a Committee of 9 for the Tyne and 7 for the Wear ; this being done, the proprietors of the best coals are called upon to name the price at which they intend to sell their coals for the succeeding 12 months ; according to this price the remaining proprietors fix their prices ; this being accom plished, each colliery is requested to send in a statement of the different sorts of coal they raise, and the powers of the colliery—that is, the quantity that each particular colliery could raise at full work ; and upon these statements the Committee, assuming an imaginary basis, fix the relative proportions as to quantity between all the colleries, which proportions are observed, whatever quantity the markets may demand. The Committee then meet once a month, and according to the probable demand of the ensuing month they issue so much per 1,000 to the different col leries ; that is, if they glee me an imaginary basis of 30,000, and my neighbour 20,000, according to the quality of our coal, and our power of raising them in the monthly quan tity, if they issue 100 to the 1,000, I raise and sell 3,000 during the month, „and my neighbour 2,000 ; but in fixing the relative quantities, if we take 800,000 chaldrons as the probable demand of the different markets for the year, if the market should require more, an increased quantity would be given out monthly, so as to raise the annual quantity to meet the demand, were it double the original quantity assumed.' " In the evidence before the Committee, Mr. Brand !kg states, that the nature of the regulation has been the, same whenever it has been renewed, the object being to apportion the vend to the different colleries, according to the quality of the coal and the powers of raising tlrat coal. " Do you mean by that to affix what quantity shook' be supplied by each colliery ?—Yes, with relation to their competitors, without any reference whatever to the total quantity to be supplied to the market. " Have you any statement of the quantities fixed on by that vend for each colliery to supply. There is no quan tity fixed for each colliery, except once a-fortnight ; the basis is merely an imaginary quantity ; it is a quantity assumed, and may be 800,000 chaldrons or 1,000,000 chaldrons ; the basis is taken merely to apportion the rela tive q uantities as between the collieries ; the coal-owners meet once a fortnight, or 26 times a-year, and according to the price in the London market (by which we judge either of the deficiency or excess of the supply), the quan tity issued, which is to be divided amongst the colleries, is determined. " What do you mean by the excess of supply in the London market,' and how, do you ascertain that ?—The way in which that is ascertained is this ; we get the price from London, we know the price the collieries have fixed as their selling price at the places of shipment ; we know also what is the average freights from the shipping ports to Lon don ; we add these two together, and we consider that as the fair average price which the coal ought to bring in Lon don. If we see by the markets in London that the price in the Pool has exceeded the price we censider to be the fair price, which is a price something below what the coals from other districts can be supplied at, we issue a large supply ; if it is below that, we consider the supply is more than the demand requires, and we diminish it ; at the end of each fortnight we meet and examine these lists, and according to them we apportion the quantity to be supplied by each colliery. " Then, are the committee to understand that it is not the quantity which regulates your arrangement in the North, but the price which the article brings in London which induces you to increase or decrease the supply ? The price in London is the only guide as to the quantity issued by us.' " Iri 1830 Mr. Brandling stated to the Committee, that the monthly quantities of the vend were regulated by the view the Committee took of the probable demand for the ensuing month : that the actual quantity is fixed once a month or once a fortnight, according to the probable de mand in the different markets ; and the market lists trans mitted from London, showing the quantity on hand, is one of the circumstances which regulate the monthly quantities?' r " In or d er t o fi x th e p r i ce w hi c h i s cons id ere d i n th e North a remunera ti ng p r i ce , th e C omm it tee o f coa l- owners calls on th e propr i e t ors o f th e b es t coa l s to state t h e pr i ce at which th ey i nten d to se ll t h e i r coa l s ( t h e present regula tion pri ce o o f oa t b li le ebest Stewart's Wallsend being 28s. 6d. the Newcastle elialdron), and the proprietors of the inferior coals then fi x th e p r i ces at w hi c h t h ey w ill severa lly se ll theirs. The coal- owners , h av i n g fi xed their prices, then sstatere a a whata s quantity profit. on the basisTue greatest they o difficulty u g h ought haveto t e Com mittee to u experience is in satisfying the parties that they have got their fair proportion of the vend in the general arrange ment. Every difference which may happen between the parties is referred to two indifferent persons, who, if they differ, appoint an umpire ; the great object of the regula tion hieing to enable all to have a fair proportion, and all to have some profit. The items forming the coast of produc tion, including the expense of bringing the coals to the pit mouth, and to the staith or shipping-place, al e not consi dered by the Committee of coal-owners (although they may be generally known to them) in allotting to each the parti cular portions of the vend. The agreement is voluntary on the part of every coal-owner, and all parties must concur before the agreement is binding on any one. " Having obtained the relative price of each colliery, either by agreement or by arbitration, the Committee of coal-owner s then proceed to examine the viewers, as to the general powers colleries to raise the particular description of coals ; they ascertain the proportional power of raising cools of the same quality, and of different qualities, from the different pits. They assume 800,000 chaldrons or any imaginary quantity, to be the basis of the supply ; and, ac cording to the price and powers of the different colleries, proved before the Committee, the proportion which each shall have to sell every fortnight is regulated, and the quantity fixed by the Committee must not he exceeded in that fortnight ; but, during the year, the C om mittee may proportion o double or tr e bl e t h e assume d quan tity for the bas f is. each collie r y, b e i ng somet i mes by price, sometimes by t h e powers of r a i s i ng , somet i me s' by both ; and the whole is matter of ne goc i at i on b e tween the coal proprietors and their Committee.

Having been informed by the servant that she had just stepped out, he said he would wait her re t urn , on w hich he was shown up stairs to the drawing room. Shortly after wards, hearing the street door shut, the servant ran up stairs, when she found the visiter had departed ; and, on the return of Mrs. Howlett, it was discovered that a chiffonier had been broken open, and a valuable gold watch, attached to a fine gold neck chain, with three gold seals, and a gilt metal watch, stolen therefrom. The fellow was about five feet eight inches high, dark complextion, but no whiskers, and he had a ring on the little finger of his right hand. 0 4 6 5 0 6 KILKENNY Wheat (per barrel) 18s 3d. to 21s.

" Articles of ageconent were afterwards entered into by each of the coal-owners aceerding to the resolutions then adopted, the extent and object of which will be best under stood by reference to the evidence. " If, during that agreement, any of the coal-owners ex ceed their allowed issue, and cannot give a satisfactory rea son therefore they are liable to the penalty stated in the agreement which they had voluntarily subjected themselves to. But the agreements only continue from year to year, and may be renewed, or not, as the parties please. The agreement of 1833 continues new substantially in force, except the clause respecting the fines. " The 7th resolution at that meeting required the com mittee of coal-owners to meet monthly to regulate the quan tities to be vended by each colliery in each district ; but they now meet every fortnight for that purpose. The Tyne, including Hartley and Blyth, and the Wear, then first concurred in that regulation ; and Mr. Thomas Storey states, that nine of the collieries on the Tees joined the re gulated trade for the first time on Ist March, 1834, and have continued to the present time. " The regulation of price, established in the beginning of the year 1834, was fixed upon the principle, that the best coals were to produce 265. 6d. the Newcastle chaldron of 53 cwt., on board at the port of shipment ; but shortly after that regulation was made it was found that the higher priced coals were fixed at too low a rate to allow of the sale of those of an inferior quality ; and the owners of the best coal were allowed by the Committee of coal-owners to raise the price 2s. per chaldron, which was followed by those next in quality, until the relative prices of all lualities were adjusted. Mr. Brandling states to your Committee, that before the late regulation, and during the competition of a free market in London, there was great variation of price, both at the place of shipment and of consumption, and of course, from the glut in the market, a great reduction of price : that the open trade produced a ruinous competition, and many of the collieries must have been laid in had that depreciation continued ;' that the natural effect would have been, that those collieries that survived the shock would have raised the price to have remunerated themselves for the loss they sustained ; that the agreement was en tered into with a view of raising the price, and protecting the coal-owners against the loss which competition pro duced ; and the price is kept up to the consumer in Lon don exactly to that point which will just shut out the com petition from Scotland and other places.' " In the regulation in 1828 (says Mr. Brandling) we found we had fixed our prices too high ; the consequence was, it created an immediate influx of coals from Scotland, Wales, and Yorkshire, and the more especially from Stock ton ; so that when the coal owners met together to enter into an engagement for 1829, we were obliged to fix our prices a little lower—about Is. the English chaldron—in consequence of the competition which was created, exists at this moment, is: constantly increasing, and will increase, without the assistance of the Legislature, and without any enactment whatever.' These statements are candidai and Mr. Brandling, whilst he denies that there is any monopoly, admits that it is a combination of the proprietors to keep up the price of their article, in the same way as a combination of workmei keeps up the price of their labour; and that the proprietors are justified just as much in the one case as the labourers are in the other. A question, however, may arise, whether the coal proprietors, by combining to prevent coals being brought cheaper to the market, do not thereby subject themselves to penalties. " It appears by affidavits in the Committee's report of 1800, that in 1793 an information was filed in, the Court of King's Bench against certain coal-owners, for conspiracy and misdemeanour, in joining in the regulation of the vend ; the cause was to have been tried in York, but never was proceeded in. " With respect to the effects of the limitation of the vend, the evidence has been contradictory before your Com mittee, as well as before the former Committees, as the fol lowing instances will show ; and the opinions on that sub ject are to be received as from interested parties. " Before the Committee of 1800, Mr. Clayton, the town-clerk of Newcastle, said that four or five years be fore 1786, there was a free trade and low prices all that time, attended with loss to the coal-owners ; he adds, that if the regulation of the vend had not been adopted, the public would ultimately have suffered ; but he does not ex plain how that would have been produced. " From September, 1829, the coal trade was free, and prices very low in the London market, and continued so, until the regulation of the vend again took place in 1830. " Mr. Brandling, in 1830, said, that if the regulations were done away with, some of the pits which produce the best coals would be shut up ; that the prices would fall, but would not long continue low, as the prices would be raised again on the consumer by those collieries which con tinued to work ; and that many of the inferior collieries could not be worked in a free trade. •••••• •• " Mr. Buddle, and all the witnesses who support the justice and policy of the regulation of the vend, admit that, by a fighting trade, the prices would at first fall con siderably ; but they allege that some of the collieries, un able to compete at these low prices, would be closed, and that then there woald be a re-action ; prices would again ise, and the consumers would ultimately be obliged to pay a higher price . for their coals than they now pay at a steady price under the regulation. But no examples, however, of that re-action have been stated to the Com mittee, although, besides the above, there are similar in stances of a free trade having existed at different periods, and that during those periods prices at the port of ship ment have invariably continued low until the regula tions of the vend, by limiting the quantity, had again been established. " Mr. Thomas Storey, Secretary to the Stockton Railway, gives, as his decided opinion, that the regulation of the vend is beneficial to coal-owners, ship-owners, and con sumers, by keeping coals at a steady and moderate price all the year, and avoiding the great variations which always take place in a free trade, during which the coal-owners on the Tees worked at a loss. " Mr. Dyer alleges that delay has taken place in pro curing cargoes in times of regulation ; and that, in open trade, the coal-owners exert themselves to supply the ships with the greatest celerity." The consequences of the " limitation of the vend" are thus described in the report : " The evidence also is contradictory as to whether, by the regulation of the vend, of late years, the quantity of first, or of second rate, coals has most increased in the London market. " Mr. Buddle states, that within five years, 1831 to 180 inclusive, the importation of the best coals has increased at, the rate of 81,977 tons, while the inferior have decreased 18,597 tons, a year. He considers any coal that does not sell for 28s. 6di per Newcastle chaldron on board on the Wear, and for 265. on board on the Tyne, as second rate ; the lowest coal for gas is 16s. the Newcastle chaldron, equal to Gs. per ton. I l lha p t the tota greater increase in the consumption of inferior t Mr. Wood coals within the last two years in L°nd r . 'm orted into " By other witnesses it is stated, that there has hn b o e f e b n es a t states that the proportion of inferior coa=s London has been increasing of nd 1835, 2,294,554 ; import in 1833 was 2,003,010 tons, a were of the best, and of which increase 66,427 tons 225,117 of inferior sorts, m aking the net increase in th e T h e tota increase of inferior latter year 291,544 tons. coal in 1834, compared with the total increase of all kinds in that year, is 138 per cent. The increase of best in 1835, as compared with the total interior, since 1833, is 23 per cent. ; and the increase of intrior, in. the same time, as a nd, in proof, ias given the name of each colliery, compared with the whole cal increase,77 per cent. He has classed as best coals o those which are sold in the latey ea i r s. s . North at and above 1 -2 s. 6d. per Newcastle chaldron on issued from each. He says, that the in variable effect of the regulation has been a rise of price, a b n o d ar t d h ; e and a tendency to increase the quantity of inferior coal ; to place the best coals too high, that the f •in erior may be Fold ; and that is effected by the factors in London regulating the s elling price for the best coals, so as to keep up the price originally fixed by the coal-owners for regulating the issues in the North : that the immediate of an open trade has been a reduction of and effect price, he thinks .. that an open trade were • continued, three or four collieries of the best classes could supply all the market wants, and completely exclude the inferior. The distinction of best and of in quantity kriur coals by price is very unsatisfactory : there are Walls end c oa l s , ca ll e d t h e b est , f rom N ewcas tle at 195., and some as low as 18s. per Newcastle chaldron, w hilst the Hebburu is shipped on the Tyne, at this time, at 235. and 245. a chaldron, yet that coal is in the second class. " Mr. Wood thinks that 245. 6d. for the best, and 20s. 6d. for the inferior, would remunerate him—viz., for Thornton and Hetton collieries 9s. 2d. 9-10 tbs per ton for the best, and 7s. Bd. 8-10ths' for inferior. That the effect of the I%lZed, _,,,,,59 4 . ,../ r‘tiration is, that an infer; c js s d a t price a better one would be supplied at, in an open trade. The , jszcsent regulation price of 28s. Gd. would he reduced to 245. 6d, per Newcastle chaldron, or about is. (3d. per ton to the coal owners, and many of the inferior sorts, in that case, could not be worked at a profit ; there would conse quently he a larger proportion of good coals, and not so mach risk of admixture as at the present time ; thin there are no peculiarities in the coal market to prevent it asdjust itrg itself to an o pe n t ra d e ; n o p ecu li ar ity in the applies'- ticet of capital in the coal trade to prevent a regular md ample stspply ; that an open trade would urge to economy in working ; and, as a case in point, the manager of a. celliery, who in 1827 th0....i the price of 245. per New ' castle emldron the lowest . twnich he could supply them, now sells file same coals at 17s. 6d. ; that, in fact, a low steady price would by ultimately better for the coal-owner than the great changes which have taken place. Under an open trade, he doubts , whether there would be any profit for some time ; but it would settle down a remunerative price, as all other trades must ; and the supply would then be made by those who could sell the best coals cheapest ; that th e best coals would be sold in an open trade at 245. Gd. a Newcastle chaldron, ' and the best effects would fol low from th e most unrestr i cte d and f r sse exercise of every man's discretion in conducting his own t`rEsde, both at the place of purchase and of sale ;' the present' prices leave an extravagant profit to the coal-owner, more iian a fair re muneration ; he considers the regulation to ha s'e been the cause of the strike among the workmen, by unsettling the trade. Mr. Buddle states there has been less trouble with the workmen since the regulation than before." The conclusions and recommendations of the Comm.ttee founded upon the evidence adduced, are thus stated in the Report : " The result therefore is, that at present the great mrs jority of the coal-owners on the rivers Tyne, Wear, and" Tees, are combined avowedly to limit the supply of coals to the London market, so as to raise the price to the consu mer higher than a free trade would command : and also to force on the market a larger proportion of inferior coals at prices which could not he maintained otherwise than by such a combination. " Your Committee, therefore, recommend that the inte rests of the consumer should be protected against such proceedings of the coal-owners, by the removal of all exis ting impediments to the free supply of that article. " Your Committee here think it proper to insert the opinions cf two Select Committees of the Commons, at distant periods, on (he subject of the regulation of the vend and the measures they recommended to put an end to the combination. " The Committee of the House of Commons which sat in 1800, were induced ' to express their apprehensions that a power arising from mutual compact, which enables the coal-owners to provide, in general, for the interests of the collieries, may at ally time enable them to enhance the price of an article of such necessity, to the oppression and danger of the public ; and, under this impression, and sup ported by the sentiments of one of the most intelligent witnesses, that an entire freedom of trade, ns well in the North as in the metropolis, would be the most beneficial to the public. Your Committee humbly submit to the House the propriety of adopting effectual means, by ad ditional penalties or otherwise, of enforcing the existing laws against all compacts and agreements of the nature above described. " The Select Committee in 1830 observe, ' that in de ciding on the course which it is now prudent to pursue with respect to this compact, your Committee are inclined to think that the trade had better be left to the control of that competition which appears already to have affected it ; and, as long as the districts we have named are not included in the regulation (which we trust will not happen), the effect upon the market of the supply they are capable of affording cannot fail to be felt.' " In 1830, Mr. Brandling stated, ' that there was then no communication, as to the agreement of the vend, between the coabowners of the rivers Tyne and Wear with the coal owners on the river Tees, and that they were considered as rivals in trade, the same as Wales, or any of the exporting ports in Yorkshire.' " Your Committee beg to call the attention of the House to the fact, that the event which that Committee depre cated has since then actually taken place ; and the union o f the Tees is now in full operation for limiting the supply of coals. When that inquiry took place, in 1830, the monopoly on the Tyne and Wear was, in the opinion of that Comtnittee, somewhat kept in check by the supplies from the TePs, Blyth, Seaton Sluice, and from Scotland and Yorkshirl. The two latter sources of supply send but little to the Lone:,on market, as, by Mr. Brandling's evi dence, the prices hi London, of coals in the regulation, are so regulated for the e.xpress purpose of keeping them out ; and, since the publication of that Report, the beneficial effects of the anticipated competition from Blyth and Stockton have been defelted by the union of the greater numbe*f the coal-owners of those districts with the coal owners of the Tyne and Wear, and by their agreement to the present regulation of vend. ' It appears by the evidence that the arrangements made for maintaining the regulation of the vend in the North are sustained by other regulations established by the coal factors, which the report describes in die following terms : " By the act of 1831, all regulations of the corporation of London as to certificates, entries, and 'Deters were abo lished, and the coal trade was made open to any parties who chose to attend. Coals in the port of London are gene rally sold through the agency of factors, of whom they are about 19 houses, the same number as in 1830. . " it appears that frequent complaints were made by the coal-owners of fluctuations in the market, and the factors were requested to devise some means for regulating the trade and preventing fluctuations in the price. The factoyst met on the 3d of June, 1834, and came to the following resolutions, which were communicated to the coal-owners' committee in Newcastle, who approved of them, and these rules have been in force ever since. " Mr. R. Clarke, a factor, states, that 'in consequence of a complaint made by our employers, the coal-ftwners and ship-owners, in 18.3-1, a meeting of the factors took place, when a resolution was passed that certain quantities of coals should only be offered for sale to support a fair remunerating price.' He react the resolutions of that meeting : " ' At a meeting of coal-factors, June 3, 1834, holden to take into consideration a communication from the coal owners, the following resolutions were come to : " ' That the factors being desirous of meeting the wishes of the coal and ship-owners to devise some plan of checking the fluctuation of prices which frequently occur by pressing sales, when a larger supply of coals happens to arrive than the actual demand of the day requires ; it was " 6 Resolved, that whenever a greater number than eighty ships reach market on any one day, the factors shall offer them for sale according to the rotation of entry, and that not more than forty of such ships shall be offered for sale on one market day, unless the price of best coals be 2Qs. or upwards, and in that case to be at liberty to sell such further numbe,” of ships as each factor may judge proper, giving to every vessel with the s ame coals her fair and re gular turn of sale, by which a rrangement the ships will ex perience little or no detention, and the evil be avoided of pressing for sale at a reLlueed price a large quantity of coals than the average demand of the market requires. " ' Resolved, that the factors shall make a return at three o'clock every market tiny of the nu m b er o f s hi ps o f the various descriptions of coal that were in their hands for sale, and the quantities or each sost of coal sold, W ith the prices thereof, which returns shall he summed up by the clerk of the Night-office, and for war d e d every market day to the Coal-Trade-office at Newcastle. Resolved, that with the view of afl;:rding every in formation connected with the state of the market, and the probable demand for coa;s, the Chairman or Sec..retary shall officially communicate to the Coal Trade-office at New castle the sentiments of the factors on that head every al ternate Thursday, and oftener should circumstances re quire, conies of such communications and returns being duly entered in a book to be kept for that purpose. " ' Resolved, that the foregoing resolutions be laid be fore the coal-owners for their concurrence ; and, in the avent of such resolutions being approved of, the coal owners be requested to endeavour to obtain also the sanc tion of the ship-owners to the same.' " The rule by which not more than 40 ships should brought to market in one day, unless the price of the be coals were "os. and upwards, was altered on the 30th ? January, 1835, to `?ls., and that rule has continued to tins time as follows : " Resolution of factors agreed to at a meeting on Friday, the 30th of January, 1835 : "6 When the price of the best Sunderland coals has been on the previous market-day 21s. or less, the number of car goes to be offered for sale sha ll be 4O " ' When 21s. Sd. or 21s. Gd. ~ , 231 s . 9d,-225. 666 — 02 s. 3d.... " Mr. Clarke states, that on the 7th of December, 1835, some a lteration in the price and number of ships was made, but on the 3d of March they returned to the above scale. " The above regulations do not limit the number to 70 c argoes when circumstances justify the expectation of a demand ; for example : " On the 7t:i of January, 1835,100 cargoes were offered, of which only 82 were sold. " On the 21st of January, 1835,120 cargoes were offered, of which only 75 were sold. "'There are always more than the numbers fixed by the regulation offered for sale, as all small vessels under 131 tons are, under certain circumstances, sold. " All vessels loaded with coals for gas companies also begin to work on arrival, and also all vessels for the Go. ve rn mut. " It will be seen by the return s, that there are often great numbers of ships detained in the river waitin g for THE OCTOBER NUMBER OF T HE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL, AND NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE, Will contain, among other Important Papers :- 1.
