TIE Coal TRADE.-The Rock River
Canal, which was built around Sears dam
for the passage Of coal barges, ia being used
at last, and yesterday, barge load of coSl
direct from the river mines, was towed tC
Davenport BY the little tow boat "Non Such, >
which was built expressly for this trade
The canal is about two miles from the mouth
of the river, and the mines from which tbs
coAl cores, are about eight.
The Rock River Mining Company claim
that they will soon be prepared to deliver
coal here at as low rates, and possibly lower,
than il is nov offered. The company is now
building tug in Rock Island which will be
finished in thirty days, and will be especially
for towage in Rock river and the Mississippi
As soon as the tug is finished, the facilities
for delivering large quantities of coal-as
much As is needed 10 this sectIon-will be
ample. The coal is from the famous Park a
Mine, which will yield hundred bushels q
day, and seems inexhAustible.
The City Council Of Davenport, q year
ago, granted the company room for their
business on the !evee, and it is said that a
coal shed of dimensions sufficient TO ALLOW
storage of a winters supply for the public
is to be built there.

HAwLEY's MIsTAEE.-It will be remem-
bered that the Hon. John B. HAwley was
very active in making acquaintance, and
doing the soft solder" business, Just before
bis election two years ago Carpenters at work
upon roofs were surprised to see his smooth
countenance, illuminated with a smile $50
child.like and bland, appear upon the scene.
Workmen on the railroad and 10 mines, And
soldiers Of the Government upon the Island,
suddenly discovered that this great man fell
an intsres. in them, was "hAppy to meet
them" &C., &c.
Well, the Honorable J. B. II. probably
thinking it about time to commence opera
tions in the manufacture Of soft soap, visited
the Island the other day, aud while there
proposed to make himself generally at home
walking upon the grass and in forbidden
places. he was stopped by soldier OF
guard, and . conversation something like the
following occurred
Guard.-"sir, you will have to give NJ
your pass for violating the printed rules o
the Government"
Harley.-"Do you know who am sir ?
Guard.-"No sir, don't."
Hapley.-well sir, I am the Hon. JOhr
B. Hawley, representative in Congress from
this district, you can tell Col Flagler that i
was little omission on my part which va
OF no accounts will be all right"

The pass was given up, and the Hon. ]

STEAMBoArING ON THE MIssIs 5IPPI.- Il
was announced in the ARGUS the other day
that the Northwestern Steamboat Company
had been organized ID St. Louis, and now
We see BY the St. Louis papers that the Com
psny has purchased the steamer Northwest
western Union Packet Company, for $4,000
and $4,000 respectively. Who WAS at the
head of the company the public was not in
formed, but the 81. Louis Democrat gives
the reason OF IT'S formation 1t says that
the Incorporating of steamboats, 10 that port
is increasing in popularity, that several have
been thus disposed Of, that others are upon
the eve undergoing the process, and that
comparatively large number will follow SUIT.
Il gives the modits operdHdi. A well known
gentlemen in ST.. Louis undertakes the entire
job, having made himself familiar with the
subject. Application is made to the Score
tAry of State, and the certificate OF incOrpo-
ration is furnished. Then quickly follows
the sale OF the steam boat TO the new com
psny, BY the united owners, or by the corPo-
ration which previously owned the steamer.
The owners of the steam bosts have much
to gain BY incorporation. What the gain
consists Of can be sscerIsined Auy day by
by those DESTROYS of learning the facts.
One valuable improvement in the system Ia
this The freedom of each owner from liza
biiiy TO creditors for all the boats debts
Any industrious man of small income, who
has saved a thousand dollars, can purchase
sn eighth or sixteenth in steam boat.
Within six months he may be appalled, by
/ the discovery that the boat ia 10 debt $780,
900 known, and some more unknown, and
that be is liable for every dollar Of il. This
would mercilessly sweep away bis little LOT
and cottage, drive his family from their
homes, and keep them needy and poor fol-
life. Now, however. any one who may de.
sire to invest in this risky property can gel
his one, Two or FIVE shares OF stock in q
steamboat a. 81 900 or 500 per share
and It will be IN his power to keep his
Losses within the bounds of bis first pay
meut.
