DUTY on COAL.
New YORK, April 3, 1871

" NEW YORK, April 3. 1871.
To The Editor of the Kenne6ec Journal:
The proposed total repeal of the duty OF
bituminous coal will affect the interest Of
Maine in several particulars.
So far as this repeal will have the effect to
to subs itute Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
coal for Cumberland coal, it will transfer
freights from American to provincial vessels.
The importation of province Goals is a foreign
trade, and will be done wholly in the cheaply
built and cheaply sailed crafts of Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick. The freightng of Goals
from Baltimore to New York, Providence and
Boston is coasting trade, and close monop-
oily for American tonnage. Other things be-
ing equal, Maine must be injured by the
transfer of any suitable proportion of the coal
freighting business to foreign flag. The
maritime interest of our State is not relative
ly SO great as it once was, but it is still i'm
portant, and for the very reason that it is de-
pressed and suffering, needs to be more care
fully guarded.
The tonnage of Maine, however, is not the
only enc of our interests which will suffer by
the proposed repeal of the coal duties.
1t is the abundance of return coal freights
to New England from Philadelphia and Bati-
more, which enables vessels to carry the bulky
exports Of Maine, and notably lumber, to New
York, to the Delaware and to Chesapeake
( Bay, at the low rates which now give activity
and amplitude to that trade. 1t is true that
no change of the coal duties will transfer the
bituminous supply of New England wholly to
the Plctou miners, and even if it did SO, it is
e also True, that the anthracite supply of New
England would still continue to furnish a
large business for our coasting vessels. But

enect TO give US more Pictou, and less Cum

cheap and bulky commodities.
Nor can it be overlooked, that if duties ar
wholly removed from coal upon the groun

lumber, or hay, or potatoes. Without goin

CARD.
TO the Citizens of Augusta:

Some months since there organized in New
YORK, a Comedy and Burlesque Company, compris
ing the first talent of the country, who played to
large and fashionable audiences for three months
at Lima Edwin's Theatre, Broadway. At the termn
and took possession of the Adclphi Theatre, it be-
ing the intention of the management to make it the
standard theatre of the above city for the produc
ton of light Comedy and Buresque. After two
weeks of the most flattering success, of the
coolest nights of the past winter their beautiful
temple burned to the ground, leaving the
Company without an abiding place. In this emerg-
ency they resolved to remain together, and having
received offers of the most 1atfering engagements
from managers IN the larger cities of New England
west OF Boston, they accepted, and have appeared
in the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Springfield,
Providence SC, to crowded and delighted au.
dience; indeed, the name of Mr.. John L. Hall and
the corps of Artists under his management, has
become as familiar as household words.
Mr. Hall purposes to establish circnt, appear.
ing each city four times year, and having
proved that the citizens of Augusta appreciate a
legitimate and proper organization, he has con.
cluded to revisit this city previous the departure
of the Company for Halifax and St Johns on the
18th of the present month
Hoping our endeavors may meet with your sup
port and with the assurance upon our part that
everything shall be done to contribute to your en-
joyment,
We remain the Public's most obedient Servants
