Company have another magnificent steamship on
the stocks at Glasgow, which will be ready for
launching in few weeks. She is to take her
place in the line next June, under the command OF
Captain Judkns, who, by the way, is a splendid
specimen of humanity. lie is TO superintend the
construction and fitting up of the new steamer.
1t is said that the fayorte Hberna is TO pass into
the hands ofCaptan Ryrie, now Of the Acadia and
that the latter fine steam ship will be placed under

CUMBERLAND Coal MINE.-A few days ago the
Maryland Mining Company sent their first cargo Of
Cumberland coal from Maryland to this city. 1t
was, we believe, consigned to Laing Il Randolph.
We have, since its arrival, received half ton for
the purpose of testing its qualities article of
domestic fuel. We have done So We have tried
it in every shape for about week ten days, and
we pronounce it to be, without the possibility Of
doubt, 'the best species of bituminous coal in the
world. 1t Is equally as infamabe as the
best English coal, much more lasting, and
gives out greater degree Of heat with
out so much ashes and without unpleasant smoke.
Indeed, we have no doubt that if the canals and
railroads, and other means of communication be-
tween the mines and the coast are finished, this
coal will entirely supersede the importation of
English any other species of coal. Its superio-
rity is beyond doubt. For all purposes of domes-
tic fuel, and as sn article for the supply of steam
boats it will, we have no doubt, be preferred TO
any coal in England.
This is really mine OF wealth in Maryland and
the the coal is brought in large quantities to
this Market the better for ali classes. We under
stand that the company will be able to sell at SIG
about one-third less than the price of English
coal. II is really very superior and beautiful
coal.
