Coal BURNING LoCoMoTIvEs.-New improvements
The President of the Maine Hill a2d Schuylkill
Haven Railroad, has made the first report of the
success of anthracite coal burning engines as
tested by time. The report says
The experiments made with thi, fuel, with vari,
classes of engines have been continued for ten
years past, and the engines present incontrover.
tible evidence that destructive effect is ueces.
sarily attended upon the of coal in boilers of
plain and inexpensive construction. Among twen>
ty-tiVe engines in use, there are two whose fire.
boxes have been in use for ten years, aud third
for eight years without any removal of its fire
box and the three boilers are reported to be yet
In good condition. The aggregate duty of thsee en-.
gines during the time specified, is stated to have
been 49,, 900 miles of distance run, and haulaec
equal TO SO 900 tons hauled mile. Four
other engines used as coal burners, have been in
service over six years, and their aggregate duty
amounts to 2Tl coo miles run, and SO 031 500 tons
hauled one mile. Other engines in use for q less
period show the same result, and the whole
included shows that only three fire-boxes,
in twenty-five engines, new fire engines, during
nearly five years average time of SERVICE have
been put in while the aggregate duty performed
was 600 miles run, and 239 ,213 500 tons
hauled one mse. The engines used upon tits road
have nothing TO distinguish them from wood
burners, except that the re-box is larger in area
aud less III depth. The light trains vary from l00
TO 140 cars, aud the loaded trains from 100 10 $50
The ordinary work OF thirty ton engine is
a train of / 10 cars taken from Schuylkil Haven
TO the summit of Broad Mountain, and returned

about 65 miles: and the quantity of coal consumed
isabout four tons. The total rise iu the road is

added several auxiliary contrivances, one for
varying the effect Of the exhaust blast by having

sident on the l4th inst:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Reprasan.
fatives OF the United States of America, in Con.
eress assembled, That the trade in tobacco with
6rest Britain, France, Spain, Portugal. Austria,
Brazil, and other foreign nations Is cloyged with
restrictions and limitations wholly inconsistent
with that fair and reciprocal condition OF com.
meres which ought to exist between the United
states and those nations respectively, and is
therefore unsatisfactory to the States Of Virginia
kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Missouri,
tennessee. Ohio, Connecticut, and other tobacco
growing States, in which that article is an impor.
tact, if rot the chief staple of agricultural pro.
duction.
u. Resolved, That it Is the duty of the Fedora
government to use its utmost power, by negotia.
lions or other constitutional means. to obtain
modification OF reduction on the part of said for
eign nations of the duties and in, posed
by them on the importation of American tobacco,
and to this end to employ all the diplomatic aud
commercial powers which the constitution has
oonfided to 1t In producing more just and equal
reciprocity In a trade so deeply involving the value
OF that portion Of the agricultural labor OF the
country, in which at least one-fourth of the con-
federacy 10 concerned.
Sd. Resolved That the treaties of tbe limited
States with China and Japan present fair and
fitting occasion for the enlargemen Mt and xtensou
Of the tobacco trade of the United States and il
the duty of the government of the United States
to use all their exertions, within the limits of con-
stiutionsl power, to foster and encourage the in
PRODUCTION of American tobacco article of
use among the people of those nations.
4th. Resolved, That diplomatic negotiations with
England, France, Spain and Austria, as well rs
with China and Japan, ought to be commenced
soon as practicable by the government of the Uni
ted States, with the view of obtaining a modfca.
ton of the existing systems of revenue and taxa
ton of those nations in respect to American
tobacco, and for this purpose instructions ought
to be given to our foreign ministers, consuls and
commercial agents in those nations by the Execu.
tive Of the United States to all their constitu
tional and legitimate functions in producing 80

For three days the Hustings Court have been en-
gagged In the examination Of William 4 DeneaIe
| Q lad but seventeen years Of age, who stands
| charged with stealing $1lo0 from Robert C.
Brooks, Of Charlotte county, on the 18th of Janu
ary last. The evidence for the Common wealth, as
published in substance, at the time OF the arrest
| OF the accused, has been in no way strengthened
since then, and we need not, therefore, repeat it.
For the defence, Mr.. j. B. Eastman was sworn,

remain in Texas. After reaching their destinas
ton. and looking around for a time, accused be-
came dissatisfied, and desiring to return home,
witness gave accused the $l700, mostly In $50
notes, bet@esn the s,h and 10Th of January, aud
prisoner started for Virginia. Witness gave Mr..
Brock no receipt for the money, nor did be take
any from prisoner
Evidence was then introduced and proved Mr..
Eastman to be man of good character.
Mr. Eastman further testified, that sbout the
Iosh OF January, he wrote from Texas to Mr..
BROCK, In Rockingham, informing him that he
mad given prisoner the $1700, and started him
