POLICE CoUR1.-Thomas LAlly, for being
drunk, was fined 81 and cost. He left 9
watch for security, and took his departure.
The Squire says he wish he'd took the
watch too, for he don't believe it would pay
for the whisky for drunk.
The court has been lively to an unusual
degree during the past week. Cases have
been VERY numerous, but the treasury is
not much the richer for it. We
don't believe there is city
in the Union that has SO many
poor folks, that will be arrested and can't
pay their fines, as Rock Island; nine and
niue-tenths of all the arrested ones board
out their fines, and they seem to like 1t, 1t
saves em the trouble of working. 1t may
be economical to send ten or dozen men a
week to jail for being drunk, but We don't
observe it in that light. On reading our
police items, the reader will see that many
are discharged and told to leave town, if
they. would leave,it would be all right But
they don't, consequently, they board i. out.
Burgess Patent Stone Cement or Concrete.
We received call yesterday afternoon
from Mr. Nelson Palmer, of Mich, who has
come here with the intention of locating
and commencing business. He is agent for
@ patent cement or concrete for walks or
roadways, which he claims is as near per
lection ss science and labor can produce,
and which usilizes an article to be had here
which has heretofore been considered as
worthless, and suffered to waste, namely,
gas tar, from the Gas Works. The tar
which is one of the ingredients of the cement
possesses qualities hitherto useless, Blu.
which Mr.. Palmer says are invaluable. He
brings with him letters of recommendation
from Professors of chemistry, business men,
officers of the city government of Rochester,
N. Y, and all speak in terms Of highest
praise of the cement. One quality of it, is
that it has no offensive smell in warm
weather, great objection to the common
patent walks. Mr.. P. wishes to start in
business here, and:will canvass the city for
the purpose of taking orders and explaining
the properties of his patent. We advise
our citizens to give the subject at least
fair consideration, and if it meets your ap-
prevail give him On order.

many preparations that have been recon-
mended for this purpose, none, it is believed,
hos proved as effcacious as PLANTATION
BrTTERs. This wonderful vegetable tonic
appears to contain all the elements necess
airy to keep up the staminal strength of the
system, and to protect it from the damaging
effects of vicissitudes of temperature and
other unhealthy influences to which We are
all more or less exposed. The extraordinary
invigorating and regulating prophecies O.

tious stimulant to sustain il.

Gold and Silver Product of the Pacific
Coast,

The gold aud silver annually pro-
duccd upon the Pacific coast, approx
imatcs $S0,000,000- an amount that
will be greatly increased within the
next two or three years. Only a
little more than twenty years have
elapsed since we began mining for
these metals, during which time
VIC have extracted and put into cir
culatiOn something over 100000; /;
to say nothing of other forms of
wealth created by our comparatively
limited population meantime. Never
before, perhaps, have so small q
number Of people built up and cs-
tablishCd upon permanent footing
such broad and profitable business
in so short n period. But this has
not been accomplished without much
loss to individuals, and even the most
costly sacrifices on the part of large
classes of the community. AS in
the founding of every other impor-
tAnt industry, tile and the expcndi-
turc OF vast sums of money have been
required to bring mining to its pres

the experiments and trials made IN

Hence, while it has brought ample

The Coal Supply of England.

The royal commission of the Scien-
tihc and practical men appointed to
examine and report upon the subject
Of the coal supply in the United
Kingdom, have recently published
their report, covering investigations
made during a period of five years.
The quantity of coal used in the
United Kingdom for domestic pur-
poses, and manufacturers other than
iron, is about G0,000,000 tons per
Gmum; thcmanufacture of iron con-
suming between 100000 and 3D.
100000 tons. Nearly three tons of
coal arc uscd-omitting that employ
ed for the manufacture of iron-for
all purposes, by each head Of the
population; or, for domestic pnr-
poses only, about one ton per annum
for every man, woman and child.
Tho Commission estimate the prob
able quantity of coal contained in
the ascertained coal fields of the I'm
tied Kingdom at 90,20I000,000 of
tons. Coal which probably exists at
workable depths under the permian,
new red sandstone and other super
incumbent strata in the United King
dom, 50,273,000,000 of tons. Making
an aggregate quantity of l43, $4,000. !.
600 Of tons which may be reasonably
expected to be available for use. The
absolute exhaustion of coal is a stage
which, the Commission say, will
probably never be reached. In the
natural order Of events, the best and
most accessible coal is that which
is the first to be worked, and
nearly all the coal which has
hitherto been raised has been taken
from the most valuable seams, many
Of which have, in consequence, suf-
lcrcd great elimination. Vast de-
posts of excellent and highly valu-
able coal still remain, but prefer,
oncc will continue to be given to the
bcstand cheapest beds, and as eXhaus.
ton is approached the country will
.by slow degrees lose the advantage.
Gus position it now enjoys In regard
to its coal supply. A time mus
even be anticipated when it will bC
more economical to import coal thar
to raise the whole of it from rcsidua
coal beds and before exhaustion il
reached the importation of coal will
become the rule, and not the cxcep
ton, of practice. And it is said tina
! it may well be doubted whether tn,
manufacturing supremacy of th,
Kingdom can be maintained afte
| the importation of coal has become
necessity, AS regards the expolFa
ton of coal, the Commission repor
that the probable development of tn
enormous coal fields of North Amer
len, and those of India, China, Japal
land other countries, and the NOR
effective working of the known Goa
fields of Europe will probably pre-
vent any considerable increase in tn
