In point of carriage there is no doubt of it,
when that Canal is finished, because the length of
the Canal is mull less ; but the saving upon the'
whole will not. be Considerable, because the Price
of the Coals that would be carried by that Canal,
at the pit's mouth is higher than at Tipton,
whic-1, nearly balances the saving of carriage,. and
the quality of, the Coal not in so great esti-
mation ; but -no present supply can he had from
that quarter, on account of the unfinished state
of that undertaking.
Do you think-in a competition, and supposing
the trade open, the Coal from Staffordshire .would
be preferred at the prices at which eackeould be
afforded ?

I believe at about zod. per ton difference in
price, the Staffordshire Coal would be preferred,
which is about equal to the difference of carriage.
At what price do you suppose the Ashby Coal
could be afforded in the-London Market ?

I a►n not preparcd with any direct calculation
upon it ; but supposing the price at the Pits to
be 7s. per ton, I conceive at about 34.5. per
Citaldron, and supposing tfif... Tolls reduced one
halt on the whole line.

What difference of price do you think would-
probably be made between the best Staffordshire
Coals, and the best Newcastle Coals, in the'Lon.
don Market ?

Probably four or five per cent. in favour of the
hest Newcastle Coal, but the best Staffordshire
Coal would be much preferred to many of the
kinds of Coals which are brought to the London
Market from. the Tyne and Wear.

.POPIS'II BULL rIG3INST PROFANE DRESSING!

THE new Pope has' direfted his attention to
the looseness of Female Dress, and has aaually
issued a Bull against it. To this dis Order he
ascribes all. the evils which have afflided Europe
and depreSsed the Church of Rome. The short
p6ticoats and the scanty handkerchiefs of the
Ladies, are the teterrima Ira; carom, with all its
mischiefs. He says . (we translate JiterallY)-'-
" The eye of a Christian can no 3chere turn itself
without encountering, abashed, the display of
seduftive charms, in public and P ' Private nay,
the very Temples arc profaned. by these inde-.
cenCies, &c.
" The importance of this objel was deeply
felt by CLEMENT a Alexandria, who declares,
that women should. on no. account.be permitted
ito appear before men n indecent apparel, lest
' the latter be led into temptation,- and the
' former themselves be drawn into unrighteOus.
ness, when they aura& the eyes of the
g other sex.' His Holiness accordingly has
stri&ly enjoined us to .repre'ss by fine, or cos,
moral punishment,
,according to the 'circumstances
of the case, these crying enormities : he directs
too, that their punishment should be extended to
such damsels as, though at first sight they appear
properly attired, are nevertheless decked in trans-
parent robes, and with a voluptuous and magni.
licent attire display rheimetveg in very secluetive
and tempting attitudes. Moreoverrfathers, hits-
bands, heads of families, who weakly or negli.;
gently permit their wives, daughters, servants,-
&c. to trespass against these rules, shall not
escape with impunity. Also, all taylors,
haber-
dashers, milliners and men.milliners, hair-dress-
ers, and others who contribute to these enormi.
ties of dress, shall in nowise pass unpunished."

The Bull goes on to. state, that all Priests,
Confessors, Overseers, Churchwardens and other:;,
shall in no wise admit such delinquents to the
holy supper ; that they shall riot .allow women
itnproperly dressed to enter the Church, and if
they come, they shall be driven out ; and if they
resist, the higher powers shall be required'to lend
their aid."

This Bull is dated at Rome, the 16th of OElober,
t Soo. in reading it, the Ladies of this Country,
seeing the oppression to which 'Catholics are sub.
jea, must congratulate themselves in belonging
to the &firmed Church, which secures not only
freedom of opinion, but freedom of dress

A cause extremely interesting to the rights of
Married Ladies was discs 'ed .at the County
Dublin-Sessions the ,9th inst. in the prosecution
of Elizabeth Quinn against ltubert Quinn, her
husband, for assault and battery. After much
argument on fhe case, the Chairman, strenuously
recommended the Prosecutrix to settle amicably
with her husband, and return to her family. The
Counsellor the Defendant, to induce such com-
promise, offered, on the part of their Client, to
settle on her pot. in 'case she should survive her
husband, and enter into security of goool. never
more to molest' her, on returning to,the. hiving
and penitent affettions of her tender husband.,--
The Lady modestly alledged the risk of 'het life
in cohabiting with him ; -aqii her Counsel tender.
ed a proposal of a separate maintenance, as the
condition of dropping the' Prosecution. The trial
was. then *adjourned,. sine die, to consider of the
terms. of accommodation.; in the meanwhile 'the
Lady remains under proper proteetion, to secure
her safety.

The following are the particulars of the death
of a Gentleman near "Mallow, in the County of
Cork, which we insert as a warning to others :,
—As he was learling over the palisades adjoining'
his house, and his cattle were driving in to the
place where they were usually kept, afavourite
bull happened to strike.him in the soft part of his
hind, near the thumb, with his horn, whiChgaiT.
him,some tittle pain, but not perceiving any in.
convenience from it, he went to a fair the next day,
when he felt it painful, and applied to a phYsician,
%Om saw that there. was a mortification, and
amputated the' thumb but the mortification com_
municated to his arm, and appeared likewise
his throat, in con4equeoce of which death citNUcti
in the course of six 'ori seven days after the
accident. •
