The BALTIMORE Coal OIL CoMPANY.-We
invite the attention of our readers to the adver-
tisement of this company, in another column,
and also to the following remarks by the editor
of the Baltimore Republican:
We have just returned from visit to the
works of the Coal Oil and Parafine Company of
Baltimore, situated on Leadenhall and Hamburg
streets The buildings of this establishment
cover space of three hundred by two hundred
feet, and were erected at a cost of over one hum
dred thousand dollars. They possess capacity
of manufacturing ten thousand gallons of oil per
day of superior quality as to beauty and utility.
We are penning this article by the light shed
from small lamp burning this oil. It is a
clear transparent fluid, closely resembling the
purest amber, and is remarkably free from dis
agreeable odor, and may be carried about with
out producing sufficient smoke to soil the glass
chimney. The room in which this is written is
twenty feet square, and is SO we'll lighted by a
single lamp in the centre, that we can see to
read any ordinary type in all parts, while the
light is SO soft and mellow that the weakest eyes
are not affected by it. Upon the score of econ
omy there cannot be question of it's desirable
ity.
The light given by this lamp, at cost of II
cents per hour, is superior to that of .f0e good
sperm candles, which would cost at least five
cents per hour. To the student, the seamstress
and to all those whose habits or necessities re-
quire them to artificial light, this oil will be
found boon Of very great value, particularly
as under the arrangements of this company the
quality will be uniform, and the supply ade-
Equate to the increasing demand, thus obviating
the difficulties which heretofore have almost
cused the consumption of the article to cease
The Baltimore public and those who visit the
city will do well to call at the store of the COM
pany, II West Baltimore street, where they
may at all times see the oil burning, and Judge
for themselves to the beauty and economy Of
the light. This enterprise is highly creditable
to our city, and is destined to add materially tc
its business The company has our best wishes
! for its increasing success.

BITThis winter has so far been pretty much
such as they have in those countries where they
divide the year into but two seasons,-the rainy
and the dry. We understand that the condi-
ton of the roads throughout the Country is bad
beyond precedent Even in cities the streets
afford indications of this. We learn, for exam
pie, that the omnibuses to the Navy Yard, in
Washington, have run with the greatest irregu-
larity for the last month sometimes being sus-
pended altogether on account of the mud.

H1"By calculations made at the Treasury
Department, taking the year 1854 as the basis
of receipts for 1859, those for January in each
year being nearly equal the amount of duties
averaging 10 per cent under the present tariff,
there will probably be received at New York
this year 81, 172, 900; and taking the year 1857
as the basis for 1852 $37 100000. 1t will be
recollected that two-thirds of the. revenue Gus
toms are received at that port.

MEx1co.-At Vera Cruz the French and Eng

forcing their demands: LIST. That the per cent

of the conventional bonds, shall be faithfully

duties, which were reduced year ago, shall be
restored forthwith; and Sd. That Gen. CARA
shall be reprimanded and required to salute the
French and English flags when shown at Tam

foreigners, especially citizens of the United
States, are very anxious to see what our govern
ment will say about the French and English
assuming to regulate the tariff and customs in
Mexican ports.

~ to the value of 100000. 1t broke out In a
block known as the "Ten Bulldogs" and ori-
ginated by an explosion of spirit lamp, which
communicated to several casks of camphene,
and caused an explosion. The force of the ex-
plosion was such that il blew up the second
floor, where q workman was standing. The
flames shot upward through several hatchways,
and when they reached the third story, pro-
duced perfect panic among the workmen. Es-
cape by stairs was impossible, and fortunately
none of them attempted It; but by getting on
the roof and descending the next door, they got
off without injury. An alarm was promptly
given, and in q few hours the fire was com

On summer billows.

His whom playthings lie in rare confusion
And underneath, the shoes be thought 10 niue

That in the future waits his manhood's coming,
And strive to dissipate, with loves strong hand,
Its mista benumbing.

Though he should wear no laurel, sing no story,
To bear his part with honest men shall be
