The PRICE OF CoAL.-The New York Jour
nal of Commerce says that the coal monopolists
in that city are beginning to beg, now that the
people are following the advice-to buy only
what they are obliged to from day to day. A
short time ago coal in New York city was $13
ton, but towards the close of last week it
came down to &c. by the single ton, delivered
anywhere. And on Saturday coal operator
appealed to the public to come forward and
buy coal now at &c. before it rose again, init
mating that if this was not done the collieries
might again suspend work and drive up prices
to much higher points. The Journal thinks 81
a ton fair price for coal; and fears lest if the
rich come forward and buy coal now freely, at
80, it will so relieve the coal monopolists and
operators that they will put DIP the price in the
winter when the poor chiefly buy; and SO ad-
vises all to hold off until the lower price is
reached.

Sir John Young, Governor General of Can
ada, was received with considerable militar
display at Halifax Monday. Yesterday he al
tended the opening of the Windsor 8, Amman
oils Railroad.
1t is stated in the Italian papers that grea
progress is making with the Mount Gems tun
mel, the working being actively carried O,
night and day, and that there is every proba
blity the line will be opened in the course q
next year. To celebrate this event it has nov
been definitely decided that universal erb;
bition shall be held in Turin in the spring n
1872.
Queen Victoria, at her last state concert a
Buckingham Palace, entertained eight hun
bred guests, among whom were the Viceroy q
Egypt and Princes Hassan and Tussoons. tw
young Orientals, who got very sleepy Nils
sen, Patti, Titiens Trebelli, Bettin and SAINT
ley were the vocalists, and Mr. Cusins led tn
the band of 160 performers
1t is predicted by the New York papers tina
drumming will be sharper the coming sea
son than ever before. They have become sucl
an annoyance on some of the great lines O
travel, that the plan of having ga conversin,
par ner' has been proposed, whose whole bust
ness it shall be to talk with the drummers VIII,
call to solicit orders.
A melancholy story is related of once re
fined and beautiful lady, Mrs Esther Wallace
who came to her death in st. Louis by her in
ordinate fondness for opium and whiskey. Sh,
left her husband, neglected her lovely children
and gave herself to the passion for stimulants
From one degree to another she rapidly passed
until finally her corpse was discovered in filth,
garrett, and her little girl related the story O
her selling everything for opium, her existing
upon whiskey for several days, and the fina
debauch from which she never awoke.
Mexico has now the best little army (not ove
10000 strong) she has ever had; faithful, eff
