Coal DEALERs.-A great many frauds are dairy
practised on the community by this class OF men,
who are with one or two honorable exceptions)
banded together in base monopoly to Cypress ana
cheat the community Instead of serving their Gus
toners with coal fit to burn, they delvera lot OF
black rubbish their DOORS call it peach orchard,
spohn NUT egg or any thing that suits the OCCASION
and charge SO ton. This stun can scarcely De
kndled at all-presents dull red and black appear
ance and emts scarcely any heat at all Ii the par
ties thus imposed upon make any complaint to any
ofthese members OF the Internal coal monopoly, they
receive nothing but insolence, falsehood, and de-
fance to get better served where they can. The
hireling clerks of the rascally monopoly are even
more insolent than their employers; because they
know that almost every coal dealer in the city has
entered into a league offensive and defensive, to
keep up the price of coal, to prevent any competi-
ton. and to hold out a threat to the Philadelphia
coal mere hants (who supply all New-York,) that If
they sell to any but member of the coal confede-
rated monopoly they will cease to buy in body.
Thus the fair trader is kept out of the market,
high price is kept up, the dealers here do as they
please, sell what kind Of rubbish they please, and
get whatever they choose for it, The public, how
ever, have a remedy in their hands, which they
should apply Immediately. There are one oil two
independent dealers who sell good Goals for a fair
price; find them out, trade with them and no other;
and the evil will be remedied
TIE LAST CASE OF ABSENCE OF MrSD-A FACT.
Every body remembers the old steamboat George
Washington, miserable crazy concern, that was
used a ferry boat between New York and Jersey
City, and in which the lives of passengers were
jeopardized daily and nightly When the railroad
bridge across the Hackensack was burned down. the
above old steamboat was used to carry the passen-
gers across the river. The bridge built in
such hurry that the builders forgot that the fer

| get her below the bridge. There she was stuck
fast above the bridge, ana there is likely to re-
main till she rots, unless a section OF the bridge
be removed to tet her pass through, or the boat be
taken pieces This reminds of the story of the
| down east cooper, who in setting up large cask,
could not make the head rcmais in its place he f.
nally put his inside the cask hold the head up
and then proceeded to hoop the cask in full after
completing the job very much to his satisfaction, he
was astonished to find that his was still inside
the eask. 1t never was correctly ascertained how
the boy got cut.

| A GREAT NUIsANcE.-There is not a much more
intolerable nuisance than the practice of wheeling
