made to stop the flames.
Soon after midnight, the female hospital

ty-ive patients, who were previously remov.
ed, and placed on a grass plat, where they
remained throughout the night, covered with

Coal TRADE-FREIGHTs.-The coal trade
is now very active, and should no acciden,
happen to the Canal, the business this sea
SOD, will far exceed that of any previous year.
There are numerous arrivals of boats, heavi-
ly laden, daily, from Cumberland, and a vast
quantity of coal is now piled up at the Coal
wharves awaiting shipment. There is an
UNUSUAL scarcity Of vessels, and the receipts
are far in advance Of the exports. We are
unable to account for the great scarcity of
vessels, when We see that at most of the At.
lantic ports. freigbts are dull, and the rates
paid here are go remunerative We have
been furnished by the agent of the Cumber-
land Coal aud Iron Company, at this place,
with a statement of the ~ireights on coal, 10
eastern ports, from this city and Baltimore,
by which it will be seen that the difference
is SO! per cent. in favor Of shipments from
this port. When this fact is known, We
should think that the demand for vessels here
would speedily be supplied, and We hope
soon to see our port crowded with masts.--
NJ fear need be entertained by owners of
vessels, that the cause Of this demand will
SOON be over, as there is now freight enough
here to give employment to a number for the
remainder Of the season--besides which, the
receipts will continue TO increase.

of the occurrence, though death ensued IN a
