The facilities this comfortable and convenient
arrangement of the ownership of vessels gives to
the Newcastle coal dealers for cheating their
customers in London, will now be shown, and
thence some little idea formed of the irn.
mense sums thus illegally obtained from
the Public. On the quay at Newcastle,
which is the Northern Coal Exchange, the
price of the coal is regulated by the fitters.
who are also ship-owners, insurance brokers, and
agents to the pit-owners. Thus they have the
power of ruling the London Coal Market. The
Fitter, when sole owner of the ship, permits his
Captain to freight at 14s. per chuldron, when,
if the price of freight were left to its real value,
it would not be more than 11s. or 12s. per chal-
dron. To the Fitters' Offices, as Coal Agents,
time Captains are obliged to go and make entry
of their ships, to take turn at the different
spouts. A return it, made, through the Custom-
house, to the Clerk of the Market, of the coals
being sold at 14s. per chuldron, when they do
not pay above 12s. The effect of this arrange-
ment between the fitter and the freighter is to
keep up the price in the London Market, for
immediately the contract is concluded,
is returned to the Custom-house,as the wholesale
price, and thus the London coal dealer and coal
consumer are deceived. The freighter quietly
pockets the 2s. per chaldron, or twenty pounds
per trip, on the average ; and, in reward
for this accommodating spirit of the fitter,
the latter receives. .commission from three dif-
ferent parties, viz. Ist. the pit-owner, for selling
the coals as agent ; 2d. the freighter, or London
purchaser, for procuring a vessel to- catty the
coals ; and 3d. from the captain getting him a
job. With all these accumulated charges which,
be it remembered, only retard and obstruct the
sale, and no way tend to keep the market
supplied, the coals at lust reach the Port of
London, and where they undergo another che-
, mica! process for proving them, the real philo-
sopher's stone, before they are deposited in the
cellars of the, consumer. This, however, will be
detailed in my next Letter, and in which I hope
to expose and lay naked before the public eye a
system of fraud and swindling, without parallel,
in the annals •f commerce, and hardly credible,
except that the fact exists even to this day.
-,When a coal becomes a drug on the market
they change its name, there beiug three to one
coal, as .

Newcastle Main.
Wellington Main.
Ords Redheugh.

Thus another way of defrauding the public
is opened by these means, but as it is of minor
importance when compared with the other, I for-
bear to insist upon it, notwithstanding I did not
deem it right to it over without notice.
Dec. 15, 1325. ARGUS.

PHOSPHOR IN POTATO Lichtenberg tells
us that an officer on guard at Strasburg, on the
7th of January, 1825, passing the barrack-room,
was alarmed at seeing a light there, which, be-
ing strictly forbidden, occasioned a suspicion of
fire. On entering the apartment, he . found the
soldiers sitting up in bed, admiring. and reading
by a beautiful light, which proceeded from po•
tatoes in a state of incipient. putrifaction.—
(Monthly Mag.)
The public, and particularly watchmen and
parish beadles, should be on their guard against a number of fel-
lows who perambulate most parts of the town early in the
morning with prickles on their heads, under pretence of collect-
ing bottles and broken glass,-but who are in fact ready to pur-
chase or steal any thing they can lay their hands upon.

AWKWARD MISTAKE.—On Thursday-evening
a man, mistaking the police lock-up for a place of refreshment,
walked into it and called about him for a glass of ale. Unfor-
tunately, however, for him, it happened that the officers had
received an account of the escape of one Joseph Ilinde (a con-
vict under sentence of transportation) from the House of Cor-
rection at Kendal, accompanied with a particular description of
his person; and being struck with the resemblance borne by the
stranger, they proceeded to make the necessary inquiry, when,
singularly enough, he turned out so be the very man. He was
immediately secured, and yesterday sent back to Kendal, from
whence it appears he has been absent ever since-the 12th of
July.—(Preston Pilot.)
BvitY, Ditc. 14.—0 n Wednesday some work-
men engaged in opening a vault in our church-
yard were surprised, and, we believe, in some
measure startled, by the squeaking of an animal
which dropped from the roof of •the dormitory,
and which, on inspection, proved- to be a bat; it
appeared lifeless when laid hold of, but on being
brought to the open air gradually.recoyered. '!'his
circumstance is singularly remarkable for the fact
of the vault having remained unopened for the
space of ten years and upwards, And -no crevice
or aperture being" discoverable in its thictribbed
walls, the creature having in all probability ex-
isted in this confined and tainted region during
the whole of that period.
