TALACRE-COAL.
TO THE EDITOR OF SAUNDERS'S NEWS-LETTER.

Royal Dublin Society's Laboratory,
30th July, 1839.
SIR,—A Quantity of TALACRE COAL, taken from a
cargo in the Company's Stores, without any kind of
selection whatever, having been sent to me for trial, with a
view to ascertain its fitness for domestic and other purposes,
I have used it in all our common fire-placcs, as the open
grate, close stove, and furnace—l have also submitted it to
chemical examination, and I have no hesitation in stating
that I consider it an excellent coal, well adapted both for
domestic use :ni for the purposes of the arts and manufac-
tures.

It is remaika'ily free from slate and iron pyrites, or sul-
phuret of inn. It is not a heavy or a hard coal, but easily
breaks into smell pieces. It kindles readily, burns in the
open grate freely and pleasantly, producing a cheerful fire,
with much heat and flame. It is not what may be considered
a caking coal ; for, in burning, it cakes so little, that it
scarcely requires any stirring. It is a lively, but I do not
consider it a swift coal. It is a coal that can be burned with
very little waste. Its cinders are very good, yield a durable
heat, and leave only about one-fiftieth of incombustible ashes,
consisting of earthy matter and oxide off' iron.
If I mistake not, this coal will soon become a favourite in
the kitchen. _ _

The Talacre coal, in my opinion, will be found a valuable
fuel in breweries, distilleries, glass-houses, vitriol-works, &c.
The circumstance of its not caking to any extent fits it ad-
mirably for furnaces. We cannot use caking coal in our
smelting furnaces without admixture of coke or charcoal,
whereas the Talacre Coal may be used alone, and affords a
very intense heat. From some experiments I made on the
smelting of iron and copper, in a wind furnace, using only
this coal, the heat produced exceeded my most sanguine ex-
pectations, and the results I obtained were most satisfactory.
This coal is well adapted for making gas, yielding a large
quantity, and of good quality, which burns with a clear white
light. It also makes coke of very good quality.
Such are the valuable properties of the Talacre Coal, that
it must, I think, soon recommend itself to a discerning public.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
EDMUND DAVY,
Prof. Chem. Royal Dublin Society.
