THE COKE TRADE.—This trade is making considerable
progress in the northern colliery district, and a class of
coal which formerly was of very little value is now be-
come an important article of commerce. From returns
which have been recently published, it appears that in
1833 the whole of the coke exported from this country
only amounted to 4,008 tons ; 3,275 of this quantity
being manufactured on the banks of the Tyne, 73 tons
at Sunderland, none at Hartlepool or Stockton. Last
year the quantity exported from tho Tyne was 94,741
tons ; Sunderland, 21,490 tons ; Stockton, 16,633 tons ;
and Hartlepool, 32,960 tons. The shipments coast-
wise have increased from 10,971 tons in 1833 to
43,376 in 1853. In the Tyne, from 4,357 tons to 18,636 ;
Stockton and Hartlepool, from nil to 6,864-1,148
from Stockton ; 5,746 from Hartlepool. These returns
do not take in the great trade in coke by inland car-
riage from the Auckland Valley coalfield, which supplies
the principal railways in the kingdom with many thou.
sand tons of coke in the year by the Stockton and Dar-
lington Railway, and thence south by the north-eastern
railways.
BEAUTY AND FASHION.—Beauty too often sacrifices to
fashion. The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but
the wilful ; not the graceful, but the fantastic ; not the
superior in the abstract, but the superior in the worst of
all concretes—the vulgar. It is the vulgarity that can
afford to shift and vary itself, opposed to the vulgarity
that longs to do so, but cannot. The high point of taste
and elegance is to be sought for, not in the most fashion-
able circles, but in the best bred, and such as can dis-
pense with the eternal necessity of never being the same
thing.—Lei i 4 Hunt.
