Of Fredericka Bremrr, called Fotter and
Daughter, was printed and published by
the entcrpri>ing house of I. B. Peterson
4 Brothers, with a rapidity never before
equaled. The advance sheets were re-
ceived by the last steamer, and in less
than lorty-eiSht hours afterwards, large
edition OF the book was handsomely print
ed and bound, and ready for delivery !;
the very paper, amounting to more than
three tons, having been manufactured by
Charles Megarge i Co., while the type
setting was going on. Moreover, the pa
per is good and the printing and binding
are excelIout-ail being worthy Of the
capital story they contain. Such speed
as this equals the doing Of the steam en-

NY one considering the advantages OF Iron
II over Rope as material for binding cotton bales
n will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since In its security against fire there is an
Overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The Presses in the Seaport Cities have been the
main causeof its not being generally adopted; but,
now that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the Iargestin MO, give it the pre-
ference over rope. The Fassmann Iron Hoop and
Tie is the Improvement Of one OF the proprletors,
and is adopted from the fact that it is found after
long experiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility OF application OF any one
vet made tits SO prepared as require no change
for recompressing. Thus obviating the only re-
naming difficulty at the sea board cities.
The hoops are sent of any length from eight to
ten feet and full guarantee given thatneitller the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And further, that all
cotton bound in them shall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press as rope bound cotton.
The weight per bale is about the same as Rope,
ct one pound more Or less.
To show the opinion Ship Masters have OF it, We
give the following, among numerous eommenda'

The undersigned masters of vessels having had

Coal Oils.

Among recent discoveries, says the Alto Caifor-
MIA, which tend to the promotion of our comfort
and convenience, those relating to the matter of
light attract, and deservedly too much attention
Next to the ordinary coal gas, we have distilll-
tions of various kinds, called burning fluids some
of them possessing important advantages in the
amount Of brillancy of their light, but each more
or less Objectionable, by reason either of certain
dangerous properties, or their disprop0rtionate
cost compared with other articles. The great OBJ
ject sought to be obtained, to produce liquid
that, while being non-explosive and harmless,
would give more light at the same expense than
any description of oil or fluid hitherto used The
principle Of extracting oil from bituminous coal,
was understood many years ago, and is mentioned
in Vere's Dictionary on Arts and Sciences, but
till very recently, the utility Of coal OIL or its
value for practical purposes was unknown. True,
the illuminatory power was proven and found to
be eminently desirable, yet, imperfect and te-
diOns was the process by which the volatile parts
were separated and distilled, that no idea was en-
tertaned Of making it subserVe a popular end
Now, however, the theory we might almost term
it, Of reducing the combustible components of
coal to liquid state, Or in other words, the secret
Of manufacturing liquid gas from bituminOus coal
so that it be proftably used for light is thor
oughy demonstrated. During the last twelve
months, coal oil has become quite an important
feature of manufacture and trade. 1t has been
introduced throughout the Eastern States latterly
in California, and everywhere it meets with ex-
tfaordnary success. Ii is lit with a single touch
of fame, gives soft, white, clear light, steady
and without the least flicker, and burns uniform
to the last drop. We have, ourselves, tested it.
and therefore, in this particular, speak from per-
sOnal observation. In this city Messrs. Stanford
Bros. have opened an establishment, corner Of
California and Montgomery sts., where they are
Offering at retail what is called the Crystal IL
Illuminating Coal Oil, for which they have the ex-
elusive agency. They have also an immense as
sortment of Coal Oil Lamps of the Deity's Patent,
which are already understood, and seldom, If ever,
get out of order. These lamps and the oil are
offered at prices within the means of everybody
The price OF the oil has been reduced fifty cents
per gallon so that really it may be said the arti
Gle is the most economical in market. Messrs.
Stanford Bros, and Mr. Samuel Deity, have en-
gagged heavily in the business, believing that bet
ter and cheaper light is afforded from coal oil than
any other oil or fluid yet in use.

The Railway.


The EASTERN CoNPAcT.-Representati from
the four Great Eastern Railway Lines viz. =
The New York Central, The New York & Erie,
The Pennsylvania Central, and the Baltimore &
Ohio, meet to day at Washington, not, as some
have supposed, to annulI the Compact entered into
last year, with reference to through rates. but to
endeavor to amend that compact and render it
more equitable. Under the present arrangements,
it is alleged that there is too great difference be-
tween all rail, and rail and water rates For in.
stance the Southern Lines are now allowed to carry
freights of certain classes at FIVE cents less per hun
dred pounds over their rail and water routes, than
the Northern Lines can carry upon through rail
routes. During the winter season, the Lakes and
North River are closed and the Northern Lines
must carry through by rail In the summer sea-
son these water routes are open and the Ohio Riv-
er often dry. 1t is contended that There is too
much advantage given to the Southern Lines in
the winter and the Northern in the summer.
The object of the meeting to-day is to reduce this
difference 50 that the water rates may carry at two
and one half cents less than the all rail rates. both
parties TO enjoy the benefit of this difference during
the favorable seasons The interests of all of these
Roads would seem to favor the proposed arrange
ment. -
