Projected Lease Of the Camden anu AmbO'
hnIIrOnd.

Projected Lease Of the Camden and AmbOv
For some time there has been under conside-
ration by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
the practicability and propriety of leasing, for
term of years that would be virtually buying it,
the Camden and AmbOy Railroad, in order to
give the former an uninterrupted line of travel
from the West to the vicinity of New York
The initial steps have been taken in the discus
sion of this subject, of very great importance,
and a few days ago the two companies ap-
pointed committees 10 jointly consider the lea5-
ing of the Camden and Amboy Road for a Pc
riOd of 800 years.
President Thomson of the Pennsylvania Com
Pany, appointed as its committee the following
Washington Butcher, Wistar Morris, and Louis
Elkin.
The President of the Camden and Amboy
Company appointed, from among its directors
Messrs. Welsh, Gatzmer, Dennis, Stockton, and
Stevens.
One conference of these committees has been
held, and another will come off in the ensuing
week 1t will be some time before the basis on
which the proposed lease is made is perfected.
THE ENGLISH SPARRows.-PersSns living in
the vicinity of our public squares should, now
that the ground is covered with snow and ice,
remember the existence of the sparrows, which
rendered such good service in destroying the
" oTms last summer, and not allow them TO per-
ish for the want of food and water. A handful
OF bread crumbs, or canary seed, or oat meal,
or wheat, or almost any sort of small seed,
thrown on the surface of the snow, would
furnish a hearty meal for many of the little
immigrants, and perhaps save them from starving
to death. They are also in great need of water,
all that is accessible to them being solidly
frozen. If we desire to keep these CHEEKY aud
useful little servants among us, we ought to
help them to live through the severe winter
weather, especially when it can be done with
such trihing expense and trouble.

TIE coal TRADE.

The Condition Of tue Trade-The supply on
Hand-Che Prospect Of "a Termination OF the
EufnenstOu-fhe Dsmpiete TONNAGE for The
Week, kIo. Btc.
There is not much of Interest to report this
week concerning the condition of the trade.
Business is still IN the same unsatisfactory state
The stocks 1T nearly all the principal points are
still sufficient for the >resent. In New York
they are the lowest, but even there tt is cacu-
lated that the supply In the hand 1t ne whole
sale dealers will last from fifteen TO twenty
daNs longer. The retail stocks are much larger
in proportion, and will last much longer In
Rhode Island, only, the supply Is said to be
short The stock ON hand at Port Richmond Is
sufficient to meet all requirements. aud the sur
plus is sufficient To supply the points that are
short IL navigation should remain open, aud the
vessels could he obtained to transport it.
The suspension still continues, and Is as
General previously, except in the western
part of Schuy kill aud in the ShamOken region,
where several other colferies will soon 90 to
work IN addition to the half-dOzen or so which
have been working all the time. 1t is dltIi cult
To say when the suspension will terminate, be-
cause il does not now depend entirely upon the
miners who iuaugurated it tu say when IL shall
come to an end. The operators have also say
in the matter after tire miners have fixed every
thing To their own satisfaction and announce
that they are ready TO begin. 1t will probably
come to an eud ~ soon as there is demand for
SchuVikil coal. Work will probably he resumed
first IN Wyoming because coal, under existing cir
cum-tanCes, can there be mined more prOtitably at
u low rate. That region will consequently first
feel the effects of slght rise. Besides this
the resumption viii probably take place sooner
there because the men evidently have no iuten-
tiOn of holding out after the companies are
ready to begin. They are willing to consult
somewhat the wishes of the employer as well
rs the employed. aud have no such bitter feel
iugs against capital as they have in Schuylkill.
The following Is the complete summary of the
trade for the past week aud year, compared with
last year. II, reported for the Pottsvile Miners
