One most striking fact in the history of the supply of
the southern counties of England with fuel is, that the
small coal, being about a fifth p trt of the coal raised, is
actually burned on the spot merely to rid the surface near
the mines of the incumbrance, while the large coals, be-
fore they reach the cellar of the consumer, are broken
down till they are quite as small as that which is pre-
viously destroyed as too bad fur the supply of the London
market.

Baronetage, has announced fur immediate publication a

gave his second lecture on the non• conducting properties
of asbestos as practically applied by Professor ALDINI, in his
fire-proof apparatus. The apparatus itself was exhibited,

held a red hot mass of iron in his hand nearly five minutes,
without inconvenience.—Bath Chronick.

The new play, in three acts, which is under-
lined for performance at Drury-lane Theatre, is said to be
a sort of tragic-comedy, in the style of the old English
(Imams, and extremely wild and romantic in its plot. It
is to be supported by the whole strength of the reAulac
company—WALLACK, COOPER, JONES, HARLEY, WEB-
STER, Miss PHILLIPS, Miss MORDAVNT, and Mrs. GLOVER,
all having parts in it. It is said to be one of the Doings

publicity which you think proper.—A 4111, yours, &c.
