The private letters by the Atlantic generally of
the same tenor as those previously received The
sringepcy of the Money market is admitted, but this
is looked upon without alarm and the natural conse-
quence of continued activity of trade during state OF
war The manufacturers all over the Continent are
fully EMPLOYED and the drain for the armies has made
n scarcity of workmen. In Manchester we understand
the manufacturers if willing could take orders for SIX
months production. All this il favorable for our Cot
ton interests The letters bring some orders for our
Stocks and Bonds including 600 shares Erie, which
were bought to-day, some Reading, Panama. Illinois
Central some United States Stocks, some New-fork
Central and Illinois Central Bonds. OF Stocks re-
turned for sale we hear of only small amount OF State
Stocks.
We understand that three OF our Exchange drawers
have been swinded to the extent in the aggregate, OF
$50, 900 by an uptown importer, who obtained that
amount of Exchange and shipped away TO England by
one of the last steamers without paying for it. We
hear also of another occurrence of the same kind to
ibout the amount, in which three other houses
were victimized. In this ease, however, the party
did not run away swinde has recently been car
ried out successfully at the West by party who has
been forging the acceptance of Mr.. 7. 1. Barnum
TO drafts which he negotiated, pocketng the pro-
ceeds The amount of these drafts We have heard
variousy stated from $4,000 to $50 600. The exact
extent of this fraud is probably not yet known. The
forgercs wei calculated to deceive those best
acquainted with Mr.. Banums signature.
The discovery of deposits of coal suitable for steam
III a. Doo;c g. % .ba
coast near the points of consumption or the California
and West India steamers, has long been looked upon
as matter Of paramount importance, The coal ofVan-
couvers Island and that which has been discovered
at other points on the Pacific is not of good quality,
and all or nearly all that has been required for the
consumption of steamers in that and upon the
rivers of California has beenimported at large cost
from this country or from England. The same
course hes been adopted to supply the steamers running
between New-York and San Juan and Aspnwsll and
the English mail steamers..o the West Indies. In
yestiga,ions have at last established the fact that
and adjoining the Chirqus Lagoon, in New-Granada,
there exists an immense body of bitumnous coal OF
the best quality for making stesH-very accessible,
being Immediately on the banks OF the lsgoon, and
with water for the argea steamships up to the mines.
The Chirique Lagoon is one OF the best harbors on
the coast of Central America about half way between
San Juan and Aspinwall and believe the only
harbor between those points Mr.. Charles Morgan
went in there with the Crescent City, in 1853,
and coaed that ship witt out difficulty, although there
few conveniences for mining. The coal
proved to be perfectly satisfactory. This ccal can be
mined and delivcoed at San Juan, Panama,
Jamaca at a cost of about s. T. tun, the cost at
these points having been heretofore about SIP tun
or il can be placed at Panama by the railroad, at
San Juan del Sur o the Pacific, at about 81 q tuD,
where the cost ha, alwayo been sl7 to $40 T. tun.
The importance Ofths development 10 the progress
of commerce cannot well be oyerestimated. We
shall recur to the subject again. Meantime We
wo1ld state that Company called the Chrigue In
