\ Coal PIT on FIRE FOR ONE HUNDRED
iEARs.-[ From the London NearS. ]-One of
the most curious phenomena in connection
with coal mining is exhibited at the Bank
Colliery, near Rotterdam, the property of
Earl FltZwilliam. The pit caught fire one
hundred years ago, and all the efforts of
the workmen ut the time, and subsequently,
have been quite Intellectual to eXtingrish it.
4 short time ago it was aScertained that
the flames were approaching the bottom of
the shaft, and it was then resolved, if posi-
BILE, to stay their progress, SO that they
might not extend to other parts of the
workings. At length the Superinten-
dent OF the collieries, Mr. T. Cooper,
conceived the idea Of building wall
TO shut i'll the fire, and in order to as
certain the best site for this wall, seye.
raj Of the officials crepl on their hands and
knees through the dense sitting smoke, as
tar rs possible into the workings. Their eff
forts were successful, and wall is now
completed nearly 1000 yards in length,
and varying from inches to 5 feet in thick
ness. At distances varying from 80 to so
yards metal pipes have been inserted in this
wall, which are securely plugged at the
end, so that al any time, by removing the
plugs, the state OF the air on the side Of the
lire, and even the fire itself, can be ascer-
tanned. So intense is the heat arising from
the tire that people possessing gardens
above the collery declare that the growth
of plants is materially affected, and that
they are enabled to obtain two and three
CROPS every wear,

SINGULAR RESULT OF A LIT1GAT1oN.-The
Supreme Court of the United States on
Monday disposed of the case Of Hanover
against Woodruff, which was as follows:
The suit was on promissory note, and
the defence was that the consideration was
illegal, being bonds Of the State of Arkan-
sas after secession. Two questions arose
below Oh which the court divided: First,
whether the consideration was void On the
ground of public policy; and second, if the
bonds were Il sufficient consideration to sus.
tain the action, what was the measure OF
damages. These questions were certified to
this court for determination, and there was
now division of opinion here concerning
them, and the case was RENTED to the
court below TO enable that court to take
such action as it shall be advised. This is
in accordance with the practice of the court
in such eases. Mr.. Justice Nelson delivered
the opinion.

TAXES PAID BY VIRGISIA.-Those who
sheer ut Virginia rs an unproductive and
poverty-stricken State should reflect upon
the fact that during twenty-five months
lust past she paid into the Federal treasury
in taxes, upon only one of her productions,
thirteen millions of dollars. And the Nir-
ginia of the present, remember, is very
much smaller State than "Old Virginia"
from which the new State OF West Virginia
was cut of. The sum of over $1,000, 900 i
wear on one article is a pretty liberal tax TO
be paid by State SO lately oveIrun by ar
mics and devastated by war. Under the
new order Of things, Virginia is destined TO
become one OF the foremost States in the
Union.-Phiiadelpl.i Day.

INTERESTING DEcIsIoN.-RGilrodd Con-
ductors' Checks.-In the Superior Court
Yesterday. before Judge Dobbin, the case
of Elisha p. Mcclure against the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company was concluded. The action was
brought to recover damages. laid at S. 900,
for wrongfully cjecting the plaintiff from
one of The defendants passenger cars.
through II. W. Slater, conductor. The
facts of the case were as follows: On the
first OF May, 1861. the plaintiff purchased in
New York city Il through ticket to Balti-
more over the connecting roads. He pro-
ceeded rs Tar as Perryv!lle on defendants
road. where he left the tram. After leav-
Ing Philadelphia, the conductor, T. w.
Slater, took up the through ticket, and gave
The plaintiffs check in the place of it. On
The 9Th of May the plaintiff got upon the
train for Baltimore at Havre de Grace.
lie offered his check in payment of his
fare, which the conductor refused. The
plaintiff then stated that he inquired Of the
man ii the window of the company's ticket
Office ut Pcrryyille if his check would be
good on another day, and he told him that
it would be. The conductor told plaintiff
that if his fare was not paid he would he
Obliged To stop the train and put him off.
The plaintiff refused to pay and was Or
dcrcd TO leave the train, which ne did.
Upon the above statement Of facts, as
presented in prayers, Judge Dobbin in
Structed the jury that the plaintiff was not
entitled to recover, provided, first, that 10
more force was used than was necessary to
put the plaintiff off the train; and pro-
vided that plaintiff was not put off ut Il
place where there was no staton-house
near ut hand, nor place for shelter and food,
nr ut any unusual place
The court also said that if the check had
been endorsed by the agent or by the con-
ductor Of the train Of May 1st, in writing,
that it was good for another train at 4 SUBJ
sequent time, then it would have bound
the company and that the conductor of
the train which the plaintiff entered on the
9Th of May was not required TO take the
plaintiff word unsupported by written
authorization. Upon the case being SUBJ
mitted TO the jury they returned verdict
for the observation-disclosures Sun.
