Coal TRADE OF THE OHIo-Tbc amount Of coal
taken from the mines on the Ohio aud its tributa-
rics Is estimated TO exceed 35,0O00OO Of bushels
This cOsts the consumers and half millions OF
dollars or more. The yearly consumption Of New
Orleans is about 1900, 900 of bushels, and is in
creasing at the rate of 33 per cent per annum
The average increase Of consumption in the west II
estimated at % per cent year. Lieut.. Maury

predicts that, should canal or railway be con
siructed across the lsthmus OF Panama in ten years
after the completion Of either the demand for Ohio

Messrs. Reside Vanderwerken appeared before
Justice }. L. Smith to answer in ten separate cases
wherein warrants had been issued against them for
running omnibuses without license. The facts
elected were, that Messrs. X. & v. had seventeen
omnibuses in operations; that i'll buying out former
proprictors they had obtained the right TO nine IL
censes, but that they had not caused them to be
transferred ON the books of the corporation For
these nine they fined ten dollars each; the
warrant for the tenth failed, because the particular
bus had never been used public vehicle hav-
ing been only one day in service and that for the
convenience OF pleasure party. The other seven

in fines, caused the transfer of that number of IL
censes the books in the prescribed mode and then
obtained licenses for the other eight at ten dollars
each, thus paying the cool sum Of one hundred and
seventy dollars, besides whatever incidental costs

That yesterday was avery warm day is a fact o.
considerable nOt"riety. How high the thermome-
ters indicated the temperature to be, we do not
know, but in short ones we have doubt the mer-
curry rose to the top. Gentlemen of mercural tenn.
permanent also assembled the scale. We heard
one such protesting that juleps were the sovereign
est things in life with whi to paliate the oppres-
siveness OF the atmosphere, and declaring that
when the nature of the temptation considered,
people should not hold him culpabe for getting
tight, u little elevated; but, for ourselves, we
thought his conduct loose, and that we had never
seen a specimen of degenerate gentiity descend so
los. He said he drank to overcome the heat, which
object he must have desired TO compass upon what
is said TO be the homeopathic principle, namely;
subdung diseases by producing like effects;
but his faith in minute doses was not compatible
with their views. Had he steamed for cold,
he might have entitled himself TO be regarded as a
political confrere by the disciples of old Dr. Sam
Thompson; yet is their capsicum less headache
provoking exctant than that to which he resorted.
When the glare of old Sol's face began TO fall
upon us, slantingly, we almost thought he looked
ashamed of the promscuous scorchng he had Civ
en-; and as he rolled the western hills we felt
a trembling, grateful current of air, that might
have been excited by his huge, relenting sigh.
And night came on, and the dews descended,
and the earth drank them in till the very skies
looked blue, and the modest moon gazed coldly on
the scene and the little stars arose TO keep their
quiet vigils, and winked and binked as though the
of shooting stars had returned, and they were
all 'half shot"
And then there quiet and stiffness, and re-
pose, and refreshing sleep for all but the spirit of
the wicked and the weary printer who arranges
these types
