The character of the Lehigh coal is so well known,
that it is not deemed necessary to any recon-.
mendaon of its quality Iii sufficient to state that
for paror CRATES, stoves. and culinary uses coal is
more generally approved i'm this place; while as fuel
for steam engines for mating, heating brewers' and
dyers' coppers, naworks, founires, and rolling and
Sitting mills the Leh!gh has decidedly the preference
account OF its greater durability and Cleanliness 10
the extent Of more than twothrds of the aggregate
consumption of anthracite coal for those purposes in
Philadelphia and its vicinity.
In case vessels are take in At Bristol, they will be
towed I'D there, in from two to three hours by the
Compsnys St. aboat without expense to the Captains
or owners and when loaded will be towed down in the
same way, also free Of charge
Every exertion will be made to give vessels the ut
most possible despatch. II is to be understood that
they must take their regular turn to load, and

eve that the facilities possessed by the Company this

sition to accommodate their correspondents the Ma

to procure vessels, when requested on the lowest

The Managers have further directed me to SAY, that
they do not anticipate any alteration prices, but If
thew should be lowered by the Company this year.
persons giving previous orders shall receive the bene-
lit of such reduction; at the same time the Managers
do not preclude themselves from advancing the price
with the advance Of the season. should they deem It
