A meeting of the shareholders of this company
Was held yesterday, at,the Polytechnic Institution,
Regent-street, Mr. Gurney, ALP., in the chair,
The report was -read, whith' stated that this meet-
ing of shareholders had been cared to make a brief
report of the steps_ taken in the formation of- the
New PolyteChnic Company. The present number
of shares taken is 859, on '752 of which the first call 1
has been paid, amounting to £752. The 859 shares
at S 7 per sharp will yield £6,013, and-£515 dona-
tions make up £6,528. A loan it 3 per cent. has
been offered with which to commence operations.
The official managers having determined to offer
the property for sale by public auction, it is .ob-
viously inexpedient for this company to enter into
any direct negotiation for the purchase until -after
the result of the auction shall have been ascertained.
Should eligible terms of purchase be obtained by
this company from the official managers of the late
Polytechnic Company, it is probable that -another
call will be forthwith made upon the shareholders,
not exceeding £6 per share.. The whole of the,pre-
liminary expenses of the company fiito the pres3eiitl
date amounts to less than £2OO. •
The report was unanimously adopted, and the
directors having been. appointed,
Mr. GASON Moved, "That the directors be autho-.
rised to• en*, -into; ler= "_ for 111:pprehase -of thebuilding,
inchtdftt Ike great theatre, for a sum not
exceeding £4,000, on such terms as they consider
beneficial ; and if they enter into such contract, to

per share."

THE COAL SaPPLt..

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE WIDE
WIDE WORLD."

A writer in a contemporary says :—A"s the extent
of England's coal resources is an object of consider-
able interest at- the present moment, perhaps the
following statement of facts- and inferences may be
useful to remove unsteessary alarms to suggest pru-
dence in the managetnent of so important an element
of our country's greatness, and at the same time to
justify our public .men in permitting our neigh-
bours to take a fair share of our mineral riches in
return for those prottiefions which the climate of
the Continent and.the ingenuity and industry of its
people enable them fo'bffer us in exchange.
_There are in EfiklanC nine distinct tracts of
country where those rocks eome to the surface which
are known.to yield coal. These districts are called
coalfields; the smallest-of ihem includes more than
60,-060-,Und . the larger , more than 600,000 acres of
coal lands, under thegreater part of which coal has
beet),-is, 'or may be- worked to profit. Scotland
*
contains another milt n acres of such" coal lands.
.BeOdes- these' -tr. ; marked in -our geological
maps, there are otoh weedingly, large but less
clearly, rodclo_`:.out: lu• • fileTiat:eal is also to be got,
.althougrithe coal-bearing beds are covered up with
accumulations of newer rocks. All these will be
available when the price of coal justifies the outlay
that will be involved in mining them.
The best known and largest of our coalfields are
the Newcastle and Durhsra, the Lancashire, the
Yorkshire, the South Staffordshire and Warwick-
shire, and the South Welsh. The ascertained acre-
age f coal in these amounts to about 21 millions.
-Adding to this the million of acres in Scotland, and
half a million for the smaller areas, we have a total
of four millions of acres, or in round numbers,
6,000 square miles of coal lands in the British
islands.

TRADE WITH JAPAN.

The entire corwespondence explaining the causes
of the suspension of trade with Japan has been
published. Its chief features have already been de-
tailed, and there is every probability that the expo-
sure now made of the conduct pursued by our com-
mercial people at the ports of that kingdom will be
attended with summary effect. As the French
and American authorities have manifested a full
disposition to co-operate with our own Consul-
General in the task of repression, a perfect cure may
be hoped. Otherwise, as tke Japanese place all
foreigners in the same category, only very limited
beneht could accrue from steps directed against
Englishmen. The statements now furnished con-
firm the fact that the profit recently obtainable on
the exchange of silver for gold was 100 per cent.,
and that representatives of some British houses in
the East have been eagerly and unscrupulously
carrying on this traffic, until their acquisitive mania
overpowered all sense of decency or self-respect.
The silver currency of Japan consists of coins called
itzebons, which can be obtained at a specific rate in
exchange for dollars upon application at the Go-
vernment Treasury. The e are also gold pieces
termed kobangs, the exportation of which is prohi-
bited. Owing to such prohibition, which is believed
to have been in force more than two centuries, the
natives, when the trade of the country was opened
to foreigners in September last, were ignorant of
the relative value of the two metals. There was a
general rush, therefore, on the part of the foreigners
to buy up the gold, but to obtain the means it was
necessary to get dollars exchanged for the silver
itzebons, in which alone business could be carried
on. The Government Treasury was consequently
besieged, and, as the officials got into confusion and.
could not supply the demand with sufficient ra-
pidity, some of the speculatu.'s seem to have hit
upon the device of sending in c'aims for preposter-
ous amounts, on the assumption, doubtless, that if
each applicant only got a perceetage of what he
asked by asking enough he might get quite as
much as he was prepared to pay for. The plan of
course soon found imitators, and at last requisitions
were sent in of a vulgar and insulting character.
A Mr. B. Telge applied on one day for change for
250 millions of dollars, equal to 50 millions ster-
ling. Mr. J. S. Barber contented himself iiithnSk-
in g for four millions, bid Messrs. Moines Eskrigge
and Thomas Tatham sent in lists of the names of
pretended clients formed out of a multitude of slang
terms, and for totals beyond any extent that can
be comprehended. In addition to these proceed-
ings, the inhabitants were subjected to constant
annoyances from the drunken crews of our own
and other foreign vessels, which led in some cases
to fatal retaliations on innocent persons. Under
the circumstances, therefore, the Government of
Japan, by various indirect contrivances and pro-
hibitions, have placed impediments in the
way of trade which operates as a total
stoppage. The probability of a return to a better
order of things will, of course, depend upon the
results of the vigorous reprobation with which the
delinquents by whom it has been caused have been
visited by their respective consuls.

In none of these districts are there less than ten,
while in some there are more than 70 bees of coal
known and described, each capable of yielding coal
to profit by the ordinary process of mining. Some
of these beds are between one and two feet, most of
them between three and seven, and one between 30
and 40 feet thick. Rarely more than a small num-
ber of seams or beds of coal can be obtained with
advantage from the same area, but the average
thickness of workable coal may with safety be taken
as not less than 15 feet, or five yards, over the whole
area of any coalfield.
Now, as an acre contains 4,840 square yards, and
a cubic yard of solid coal weighs nearly one ton, there
thus appears to be 24,200 tons of coal per acre of '
coal lands on a general average, but as a large
quantity_of coal in every coalfield is, from various
causes, not obtainable, and another large part is
lost by the ordinary mode of extraction, we cannot
calculate on more than one-third of this, say 8,000
tons per acre, as the quantity that can be removed
and sold. This would give albout 5,000,000 tons of
coal for every square mile of coal lands.
The annual consumption of coal at present in
England cannot be less 80,000,000 tons, so that we
are now exhausting about 16 square miles of our
coal lands each year. Estimating the area of coal
lands at 6,000 square miles this would give a dura-
tion of rather more than 350 years.
It may be observed that the usual estimate of
coal lands in England is 12,000 square miles, and
that in the smaller area I have taken an allowance
is made for the unproductive portions.
The coal area in Belgium and Rhenish Prussia
together is not more than ono-eighth part, and in
all France not one-fifth part that of England and
Scotland; the average thickness of coal is smaller,
and the position of those coals is generally less
favourable in the former district for extraction, and
in the latter for transport to the sea.
The quantity of coal known to exist in North
America, both in the United States and British
possessions, is so large that for all practicable pur-
poses it may be regarded as inexhaustible. Coal is
also abundant in India, China, Borneo, Eastern
Australia, and South Africa.
-Owing to the advanced position of E ngY an rin
practical mining operations and the facility and
economy with which • she can place her largo sup-
plies in the markets of the world, at a cost so low
at present as to exclude competition, her coal will
no doubt be extracted very rapidly for years to
come. But should the advancing industry of other
countries reduce the price below that at which
profit is secured by our colliers, or should the cost
of extraction increase with us out of proportion to
the rest of the world, the demand for exportation
would be at once checked, and the drain upon our
resources would diminish.
That this must happen very long before any ap-
proach to exhaustion could be experienced may be re-
garded as certain, and it must be remembered that
the price of iron (for the manufacture of which at
least half our coal is required) will to a large ex-
tent act as a regulator, and prevent a too rapid
extraction when the first symptoms of exhaustion
are felt.

PUBLIC MEETING AT WOOLWICH.
Last evening, at eight O'clock, a numerously at-
tended public meeting oflhe -inhalbitants of Wool-
wich was held •at the Town Half, to 'proinote the
objects of the Society for the Abolition of Flog-
ging in the Army and Navy. The chair was -occu-
pied by the Rev. J. Carlile,LL.l). (COngregational),
who bnefiy.alluded to the objects of-thelneeting.
The following letter was read fitm" Aidertan
Salomons-,./11.P. :—" I regret that I capnot attend
your 'meeting, owing to a long-standing ettgtge-
meni. The subject of corporal punishment iin..the
army and navy engrosses much attention in he

.Captain 11.1.rmoND, R.N.,- late commander of her
141ajesty's st:einnivOss:el oiiy; proposed the. Brit
• resolntioii::--"lThat this meeting expresses its re-
gret, that notwithstanding the ameliorating orders
recently-issued -from-the Horse- GuardS and the
Admiralty, the practice of flogging still -exists in
the army and navy of this country7,st practice
which :the-Thelieve to be - degrading,.nanecensary,
and entirel, opposed to :those principles which
should govern a highly civilised and Christian Ora-
nitniity.. He observed that many years' experi-
ence in the Royal Navy had convinced him of th%
fact that there were other and bettor .modes:'.or
punishment than the lash, " Which only :tended-. tb
make
.a.bad_Lian worse. He- was- enabled to -keep
order on board his' ship by stopping the men's
liberty to go on shore, and also by a stoppage of
their tobacco money, 'and he' &nod this mode of
punishment the mot effectual.-Mr.
5L01%;.1.N, in seconding, produced the lash,
and observed that. God never created a-mai:Jl'6l.'on
purpose of being'tortured by arch an InStininente
He trusted that the constituencies- who wished to
abolish the laSl would act upon their members, as
that was the only plan- to obtain an abolition of
the inhuman system, which had- been tried long
enough, and had ever been found wanting as an
agent for the prevention of crime. Such a mode of
punishment was worthy only of the dark ages, and
ought instantly to be abolished.
Dr. GOURLEY moved the second resolution " That the entire absence of this mode of punish-
ment in the well-disciplined forces of some other
countries, and the expetience gained in regiments
and ships in her Majesty's service where flogging
has been abandoned, proved that the continuance
of the system is unnecessary." In the course of a
long address the speaker referred to his experience
in the French army as a proof that the most per-
fect discipline could be maintained without the use
of the lash. The British recruit, on entering the
army, was first initiated into drunkenness and then
flogged for being drunk. The officers got drunk,
in proportion to their numbers, ten__ times more_
than the men ;. and when in the army he had
always opposed flogging, unless the same punish-
ment nas meted out to officers as well as men.
The Rev. Dr. HEWLETT, of Islington, seconded
the motion, and expressed his belief that the
punishment of the lash would ere long be abolished
by the voice of the people.
The Rev. I'. TUFFIELD moved the adoption of a
petition founded upon the resolutions,-and stated
that the Society for the Abolition of Flogging in-
tended to hold meetings throughout the country to
evoke that public opinion necessary to success.
The resolutions were adopted, and after a vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. •

Tr.RECK OF ANOTHER §TEAMER.
Yesterday, the following correspondence was
received at Lloyds', reporting the wreck of a
steamer off' St. David's Head, and the loss all
on board, in the gale on Tuesday morning :
"Church-court, Clement's-lane, Feb. 29.
" Sir,—We annex a copy of a letter received
this morning from our correspondent at St. David's.

yeraiif thelms of a large-steamer -Ms- morning,
about nine o'clock, off this head, half-a-mile to the
northward. The unfortunate vessel Wll3 seen about
eight o'clock between the South Bishop and Ramsay
Island, driven before the gale, and to all appearance
under no command. She struck on the rocks, and
parted in three compartments. About thirty per-
sons were seen on board, including some six sol-
diers, one woman with four little children, whicl
were seen clinging to her when last observed. Three
of the unfortunate creatures on board each took to
a lifebuoy and jumped into the sea. Two of them
were seen to sink very soon. The other man was
assisted by some spars, and kept on the water for
about an hour, but ultimately perished. An attempt
was made to throw a rope on shore, but to no pur-
pose, as the sea was running too high. With the
exception of the three sufferers before mentioned,
all on board disappeared with the vessel. Their
cries were heartrending. As yet not a single par-
ticle of the wreck has come ashore. Expect to
save some things en the ebb. Description of the
vessel—three masts, two whitewashed funnels, top
black ; yellow paddleboxes, figure-head with a red
jacket, port-anchor down, a railway truck on board.
Her name, in white, could not be made out. Fur-
ther news next post, Write this to save post.—l
remain, &c., J. WILLIAms."

1 On the receipt of this intelligence a telegraphic
message was immediately forwarded to St. David's
Head, in order to obtain the name and further par-
ticulars of the ill-fated ship, but owing to their
being a break in the telegraphic communication of
some forty miles on this section of the South Wales
coast, no reply had been received up to late last
evening.

It is generally believed that the unfortunate
vessel was from some port in Ireland, but whether
bound to Liverpool or London is yet to be ascer-
tained.

'SION OF A DOUBLE 11IURDER.

Little more than three years ago, the murder of
an aged couple, attended with circumstances of the
most horrible atrocity, was perpetrated in the rural
and secluded village of Boon-up.
on-D earne. On
the night of the 4th December, 1856, it will be re-
membered that Luke White, an aged person, who
was the village postmaster, and kept a small drug-
gist's shop, encl. was also a local preacher, while
apparently engaged in preparing his sermon for the
I following Sunday, heard some one come to his shop
door, and on going to see what was wanted he was
knockedl down and ruthlessly murdered. His wife,
hearing a noise in the shop, appeared, whilst going
along the passage leading from the house into the
shop, to see what was the matter, to have been there
met and also murdered ; both bOdies being found
weltering in a large pool of blood in the forenoon
of the next day. No traces of a robbery having
been committed were visible, and the affair was
enshrouded in impenetrable mystery. Although
every effort was made by Colonel Cobbe and the
superintendents of the n ighbouting divisions of
constabulary, and large rewards were offered, not
the slightest clue could be found to the perpetrators
of the horrid crime; and the coroner's inquest, after
sitting a considerable time, was obliged to return
an open verdict. Recently, we are glad to say.
circumstances have transpired which are likely to
throw some light upon the tragedy. It will be re-
membered that on the day the murder was perpe •
trated an Irish hawker was said to have been in
the village of Bolton vending caps and small wares,
but no clue could be obtained of him afterwards,
nor could he in any way be shown to be connected
with the deed.
During the last week an Irish hawker. who is said
