0HFThe wreck Of the Steamship San
Francisco is one OF the most appalling ma
rine disasters, that has occurred for many
years. The great number of persons on
board, amounting TO over seven hundred,
must have presented an awful scope amidst
the storm and fury Of the waves of the
ocean. Our readers will find in our col
umns this week, full account of this ter
rlble disaster. The ship was chartered by
our government for the transportation OF
troops, Sc, 10 California, and was, un-
questionably, too heavily laden.

The production of bituminous coal in the
Piusburg district, in 1853, was 26,707,92l
bushels and in 1854, allowing ten per cent.
increase, will be 9.379, Si3.
The Miners Journal says The con
sumption of coal does not increase as rapilly
as was supposed. III 1852, the increase was
less than 10 per cent, and left surplus in
the market. This year the increased supply
is less than nine per cent. from all sources.
This, of course, is to be attributed 10 the
high prices OF coal during the latter part OF
the year-but taking the averGge OF the las,
three years, the increase will not average
over - per cent, lift will reach ii. We see
no good reason TO believe iha. this average
per ccn,ase III The demand is likely 10 be
exceeded The present year, which would re-
quire an increase in the supply of about
623, 900 ions, in 1854, from all sources, 10
keep The market healthy.
This increased supply can easily be fur
nished BY the different regions, provided
dealers and customers will come forward and
take coal early in the spring.

NECESSARY CHANGEs.-When sanity becomes
general in this country, world of Important
reforms win be effected One batch was sug-
gested by correspondent of ours the other
day, which we beg to endorse. 1t was to the.
effect that the seats Of our State governments
should be got out of the hermitages where they
now are, and brought to light, in places where,
the Legislatures would see and feel public SEN.
timent. For instance, the capital of this State.
should be New York; of Pennsylvania, Phila-
delphia; Of Maryland Baltimore; of Ohio, Gin
cinnati; and so on. Of course, it would
follow that New York would be the federal
capital. This is great and really an inevita-
BILE reform. But reason is not common enough
yet to propose it,

ton to which the recent fire at Jennings has
origin of fires in this city. The witness White
alias Boucher seems to be very shrewd fell
low, and he and his friends appear to be quite
familiar with the mode of proceeding in such
cases. Seated, as he tells us, on the steps OF
the Hall of Records, he saw the fire at Jen-
nings break out, and Immediately his compa-
Mon Lowery observed "I'll bet my life Lyman
Barr set that place on fire." and if the re-
mainder of the evidence is to be believed the
guess was pretty shrewd one. When the
engine came, White caught hold of the rope
and went to the fire." doubtless with the inten-
ton of saving property. The next day, one
Snyder met the witness and told him the whole
story with q frankness which does more credit
to his heart than his head. None of the
friends, whose names White gives, seem to
have been in any way shocked or astonished
at the incendiary deed. White speaks of it
quite as matter of course.
few such examinations would clear up the
doubt which now overhangs fires in clothing
stores They would likewise afford o pretty
conclusive confederation of the statements we
made some time since with respect to the sys.
tenn of allowing runners to join fire engines,
and might illustrate the working of the present
fire department in very striking way.
FERMENTATION OF THE ERIE RAILROAD Dr.
FICuLTIEs.-The managers Of the Erie Railroad
have at last come to their senses and agreed to
discharge none of their engineers for accidents
hey ond their control. A direct loss of some
one hundred thousand dollars, and prospect
of much greater one are, we presume, the
causes to which this return of sense and burst
of honesty are due. Had the railroad engi-
neers in this country evinced less esprit de
corps, the Erie people would have won
victory at the expense of some poor fellows
character, who might have been discharged at
any time for mishap which it was not in his
power to avert. As IL Is, the directors of this
mammoth concern have been taught that rich
and powerful as they are, they cannot yet
trample under foot the rights Of their en-
ployes Or erect themselves into o sort of
Rhadamanthne court of justice from which
there can be no appeal. The lesson will be
serviceable not only to the company directly
concerned, but to all other companies in the
North. Sound rules, and thorough superin-
tendencc will secure safety for passengers
without sacrificing the rights Of engineers !;
and attempts to provide before hand that whe
