THE American Trades Company, was
L organized November g. lS57, with Capital
of one hundred thousand dollars: This Company
was formed With q sietf Of taking up inventors
Of small articles of general utility, who are I'M
able to make independent arrangements for in
Producing their inventions, by an equitable ar
rangement with them for their rights BY pur-
chase. out and ont. or BY tariff ON the articles
manufactured and sold: The inventive genius
of this country has long called for an Institution
Of this kind. The American mind is so active.
that thousands of things are invented, many Of
which would be really useful to the community,
but which are never introduced, because the In
ventors of them have no means to carry them
out.
The Capital of this Company will be devoted
to the Development Of really useful inventions.
The Company have a Committee on Patents,
whose duty it is to pass upon all applications, and
from their large experience in such matters. In
ventors have q security that their inventions
will not be misjudged; and the high character Of
the parties composing that Committee, is a suffi-
cient guaranty that plans and spec hcations may
be submitted before patents are applied for,
without any risk Of advantage being taken Of
this circumstance, and when desired to do so,
the Company will take out patents for others,
securing for the inventor all his invention that
is patentable.
This Company respectfully invites inventors TO
submit to them their plans; and 1t will be fur
thering the objects of the Company if its officers
and agents can be of service to them.
Any one of the following modes is acceptable
to this Company
First. To manufacture any articles for whic d
their machinery is adapted, b. contract, the in
ventors receiving the articles and paying for the
same on delivery.
Second. They buy any patent which is approved
BY their Committee.
Third. They will manufacture and sell any ar
ticle which they choose to adopt, giving TO the
Inventor such proportion Of the profits as may
be agreed upon.

COAL IN THE UNITED STATES The coal dis. tricts of Great Britain appear as near specks when compared to those of America. The coal fields of Great Britain, in figures, amosnt to 5400 square miles; those of Europe are only 8964 square miles: while those of the United States, in the aggreate, comprise no less than l86,850 square miles; added to which the British Frov- inces of. North America contain 7530 square miles. The following illustrations will convey some idea to the reaeer of the amount of coal there exists in Europe and America. We need not fear any scarcity for thousand of years. Averaging the total thickness of the workabis coal in Great Britain at thirty five feht, we have a total of workable coa! equal to l90,00O,O0O, 900 tons. In the same way, estimating the total area of the productive coal fields of North Am erica as 100000 square miles( that is, inclusive ofthe British provinces, )and averaging the thick ness good workable coal at 20 feet, we gain result of4 1000, ,0OO 900, 900 tons. Or to make the results more appreciable' if we take the amount of workable coal in Belgium as l, then that in the British Islands is rather moro than 5, that in all Europe s2, and that in all the coal fields or North America is 2ll, This method of ratio is more iutelligible than that ofrelative superh. cial magnudes. and we at once perceive that TI.the United States possess more than twentytwc times the amount of coal in the mines of Great Britain.

A W1NDrAII TO AHE TREAsuRY-The New. York Times says the Federal Treasury had wndfall, on Wednesday, of the value of $l30. 900, by the return of this sum from the celebra- ted Gardner fund. It will be remembered that 8 Dr. Gardner, some years after the late war with Mexico, made a fictitious claim for about $2O0, 900, on the Mexican Indemnity fund, which claim, bolstered by forged and fraudulent vouch.. CTS, was finally allowed, and the money paid over by the government.
 Gardner was subsequently, tried and conVic- ted at Washington for tAe fraud and committed suicide in prison, leaving Sl3O, ,OOO ofthe money on deposit with the New York Life and Trust Company. The public administration ofihis city took our letters of administration upon the es- tate, butthe Government lntorvened and enioin- ed the derosit After years of litigation, the principle of this sum has been awarded to the Government, and the accumulation of interest, ahout $40,0O0 to the estate.

Death of Prince Metternich.

It was said that the battle of fAusterltz killed Pitt earl of Chatham The news of the desr truction in that encounter of his great scheme, by which Austria had been allied with Russia to resist tbe progress of the first Napoleon, was such shock that his system, enttebled asilt was by disease, gave way under it, and he1 sur vived but few days It is remarkable that Prince Metternich, the high priest Of EurOpesp aiplWnacy for the Jast half tent'lfy thassSsg V tect of the Austrian empire, the instigator of the marriage of NapGleonsswith Maria Louise, the father of the treaties of 1915. passed away week after the hattie of Magenta. Ii will be said, we presume, that as, Austerlltz was fatal 10 Chatham SO was Magenta 10 Metternich.
 Clement Wenceslas Metternch was born at Coblentz, on the 18th of May, l773 so that when he died he had completed his Seth year. His ancestors had been distinguished in the wars of the Empire against the Turks; his family had given more than one elector to the archbishop rios of Mayencc and Treves and his father, the Count Metternich, had obtained some repu- tation as diplomatiSt, and as the associate of Kannitz At the age of fifteen Metternich en- tered the University of Strasbourg, where he
 had for his fellow student Benjamin Constant, and from which two years afterwards he remo-
 we'd to Mayence, in order to complete his stud ! ies In l790 he made his first public appear
 ance as the master of the ceremonies at the
 coronation of the Emperor Leopold H., aud in
 l794, after a short visit to England, he was at
 tached to the Austrian embassy at Hague in
 the following year, marrying the heiress of his
 fathers friend. Kaunitz. Thus far he was ser wing his apprenticeshipin diplomacy. He first
 came into notice at the congress of Rastadt where he represented the Westphalian nobility

 leading part in the arrangement of that wei known coalition which was dissolved by the bat

 The rise of the young ambassador had beer 3 unusually rapid, end the French Emperor gree 7 ted him with the remark" You are very younj

THE IRON GROWN OF CHARLEMAGYE. -The celebrated iron crown which Austrian prudence has just locked up in the solid and fortified city of Lombardy is not 50 much iron as its name indicates; but on the contrary, is of gold, and is of B form which in heraldy is called q haron's torse"-that is to say, a circle about three fingers wide, encrusted with thick borders of different colors, but in the inside is real iron crown-a ring which tradition pretends has been formed out of one of the nails which were used in the cross on which Christ was crucihed.
 The famous crown was in the year TIA, placed upon the head of Carlo Magno (Charles the Great) by Pope Adrian the First. In l452 it was removed to Rome to crown Frederick the Fourth, and in 1850 to Bolonia, where it encr- ced the brows of Charles the Fifth. Lastly, in 1905, Napoleon the First placed it on bis own
