to increase and may assist in avcrting coal
famine. II is estimated that already the strike
has cost the parties concerned at least cl2.OOO,-

to these inIudiciOus speeches, and are less
nOyed by them than by the presence Of the Prince
Of Naples. The furious attacks of some Paris
journals upon Italy for allowing the Prince Of
