The officers of 'Tin ijesty's ship Briton, 46
guns, Capt. Markland. C.B. who were lately so
cruelly maltreated by the Mignelties, near Bucel-
las, are Lieut. Charles William Henry Gage Fitz-
roy, son of the Hon. General William Fitzroy, and
nephew to the Duke of Grafton ; and Lieut.
Henry Parnell, eon of the Right Hon. the Secre-
tary et War. It is gratifying to state that both
the gallant officers, under the care of Mr. Scott,
surgeon of the Briton, are doing well.

ANTHRACITE 1 AL.
The Pottsville Mixer's Journal says, the fol—
lowing table exhibits, with as much accuracy as
our means will allow, the quantity of anthracite
sent to market during the last ten years, by which
it appears that the aggregate amount in that pe-
riod is equal to 625,825 tons. The exportation,
last year alone, amounted to 75,000 tone:

The number of steam-engines in Philadelphia
alonev using anthracite coil, is represented to be
between 60 and 84, to which must be added those
of the city of New York, as well as several steam-
ers. The rapidly iucreasiug consumption in private

natural to the Swann rare. it lied been an heal-
tifully developer! here, it was competent for the
champions of ancient proscriptions to any that
an equal representation Was an Utopian d-eem. But
we have exhibited it to the world a nnns-deg•
reality ; a living, healthy, and powtrful agent.
We learned Nun the fathers of English liberty,
that taxation and representation should 'n band in
hand. We sew, in the land of our forefathers, that
this glo-iosis maxim was thought to be satisfied.
*hen supplies were voted to the Minist-y by a l'a--
liament, in which four hundred and eighty-seven
oat of six hundred and fifty-eight held their seats,
either on the mere nomination or under thecontroling
influence of the Government and two hun-
dred and seventeen individuals. Not thus did
we understand and apply the maxim. We be-
lieved ;hat' all who share the burden of the
taxes. elssulti . palm a share in the re-
panatellas; and on this as on the corner stone
our riyitem tests : Is it just' la it equitakle ?
Is any other system either just or equitable ? And
when you cut adrift the vessel of state from the
ancient mooring* of tradition, will she not infal-
libly be borne down by the popular current,.as far
as it flows ? Will the people of Englan•l, owe en-
gaged in the business of reform, compare their
unequal, imperfect, and complex system with one
as simple, equal, and just as ours, and submit to
the continuance of the abuse? It cannot be.
WeAhall more than return the inheritance, which
our fathers brought over with them ; and like the
Roman daughter, we shall give back the tide of life
to the frame of our poltical parent.
