Loco FOcO PRINcE.-The Furniture
sale Of Mr.. Price, The u. S. District .9iiorney.-
The Furniture Of Mr.. Price was sold at
auction, on "Wednesday under an assignment
to Mr.. Austen, in the Eighth Ward. Gu.
riosity tempted great many persons, par
ticularly Ladies, to visit the House of the
now most prominent Of the men of the day;
and the politicians took the opportunity par
ticularly the wicked Wings, TO see if the
Inferior of this GREAT DEMOCRAT cor
responded with the Exterior Democracy he
was wont rs Tammany Orator to exhibit
in Tommany Hall. Rumor has reported
great deal about the Princely style in which
was fitted up tho house Of the People-Lov-
ing Pet OF Tammany ;-nnd there was seldom
greater rush 10 hear, rs Price, Price,
Price, was called in tho old Wigwam, than
to see how this price, Price, Price, prac-
tised what be preached.
Whatever may be said Of Mr.. Price rs
Lcg-Treasury, not word can be said against
the lustrc or elegance of his interior. lf
there nre any Houses in this country more
richly filled up than Mr. Prices, there arc
but very few. The Furniture was Of the
most costly and must have cost an enormous
sum Of moncy.--tor what was had, was not Of
the common, but Of the East room order,
such as Col. Benton, in his letter TO Mr..
Ritchie Of the Richmond Enquirer desc ribed.
Indeed snch was the curiosiiy to see all this,
that the catalogue Of sale sold for three or
four shillings. Eight servants, it IL snid,
were kept to take care Of all this,--with the
occupants. The mirrors must have cost moro
than $4,000. Tho Dinner Service, with every
thing one could think Of, even to the Fanny
Kemble finger glasses, was os complete ss
one could imagine. The Parlors were fitted
out with Mirrors, Divans, Marble Centre
Tables, Chandeliers, Curtains. Rosewood
Tables, Oltomans, Sofas, &c. &c,-and a
Saxony Carpct,--and Of so much splendor,
that we know not what the twin Orators of
Price in Taminpny, such rs Ming and Eli
Moore, would have ofa fare up in description.
The furniture generally sold very well,
commanding good priccs,-but Uncle Sam
will reap nothing Of the harvest, inasmuch ns
oil the receipts pass into other hands.
The Democracy Of Mr.. Price is Of the same
pattern rs some thousands of the other self.
arroesting Democracy Of the land. They
preach Agrsrsnism shoulder To shoulder
with Ming and Samm in Tnmmapy Hall,
and live as in Palace ofthe Cesars at home.
They have great horror VI Banks, and

COAL. MINING.

We have received Pamphlet of l49
pages, from the President g. Directors
Of the New England Coal Mining Com
pany, which contains much valuable
information connected with the Memo
RIAL of said company, now before the
Legislature. We regret that We have
not room to make some extracts from
it in our present number. The memo
rialists it appears ask for aid from the
Legislature to enable them to proceed
in their important operations. At the
last session, the committee to whom
the memorial was referred, made Re-
port to the assembly, recommending
two plans for their consideration--frsi.
that an untaxed Lottery for five years
be granted to the mcmorialists, without
per centage to the State or second,
that the State subscribe for Shares in
their Stock TO the amount Of, and
pay therefore in State script, rcdeema-
bic in ten years with interest. The
Report having been unanimously adopt.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-Our Congression-
al summary to-day will be found very
interesting. 1t will be seen that Mr.
Clay's opposition to the Graduation
Land Bill, has been successful. A
Washington correspondent Of the Balti'
more Chronicle, says-'"The bill may
now DO considered as defeated. Mr.
Clay, alone, and unaided by single
Senator. has fought this battle agains
host Of antagonists, and has gained 6
victory as unexpected as it is brilliant
and important in its results. The ad.
ministration have attempted to make
this measure party measure and force
it through as such. 1t is not meas
uro for the promotion of the true inter
ests Of some of their demagogues."
