DECLINE IN CoAL.-It is stated that coal
has declined twenty-five cents per ton in
Philadelphia, and that it is accumulating on
the wharves of that city. The above de-
cline would seem to indicate that the efforts
of eculators have failed at last, and now
that prices have begun to recede, it is TO be
hoped they will continue to fall until they
reach reasonable point.

We have SO often spoken in terms of

prises "a Message from God," "Thc
Great Sacrifice" and "Christ receiving
Sinners" The author is now the great
pulpit orator Of London, and is more cele-
braled than any other divine in the metrop-
oils. All his works possess the most al
sorbing interest, anl even worldly-mind-
ed person, who has cultivated mind, can
not willingly lay down one of his volumes
until the whole has been read. The Amer
lean reader is under many obligations to
Messrs. Lindsay g. Blakston for republish-
ing all the works OF this eminent author, in
neat and uniform style, and at a very low
price.

Of a coun.ryman from New York who was
visiting the Senate at the time Mr.. Van
Buen was Vice President Our friend
was red-hot Democrat, and of course held
Mr.. Van Buren in great reverence. He
sat in the circular gallery of the Senate.
gazing at the Vice President with a mingl-
ed feeling Of awe and State pride, when
suddenly a tall and majestic form appeared
at the side of the hall and beckoned to Mr..
Van Buren,. There was little business
doing, and the Vice President, calling
Senator to the chair, joined the person
mentioned, when both seated themselves OH
q sofa, both snufied from the same box, tho
hand of the Vice President was playfully
laid on the knee Of his companion, and ev-
cry now and then laugh would escape
them, showing that whatever might be the
topic they were discussing it was'one
which was agreeable to both.
"ls that Mr. Calhoun with the Vice
President 2" asked our country friend,
turning to a person near him.

"Is it Gen. Wall ?" - .ss,..4 ..
"May ask who it is ."
"Why, tina, is Mr.. Clay"

fellow stalked from the hall, firmly belev-
ing that the country was lost.
