The MuMon rise in the price of coal hns in liUtliuanyindiuunt comments, nnd prompt oil nn ngitation wbich mny result in n ropcal or modification of the existing duties on foreign Coal. New England looks with an eager eyo to the Nova Scotia mines. She would gladly annex that province, and destroy her present dependence upon the Pennsylvania and Cum terland mines, ly insuring supplies from the home of the Blue Noses. It is her ox that is gored now, and she makes tho most of her grievances. A few years ago her Senators voted unanimously for a reduction or re peal of the duty on coal, hut they were badly defeated by tho Senators of tho Middle and Western States on tho ground that it was unjust and ungenerous for the portion of tho country which had derived more profit than any other from high tariffs, to attempt to rid itself of a slight share of the incidental burdens ot protection. Now, however, the agitation is being renewed, with bet t er prospects of success. It is not New England only, but many other sections, and tho people of all tho leading cities, who are indignant at tho course of events in the coal regions, and the repeated difficulties which at once threaten short sup plies and stimulate extortionate prices. No matter what changes may bo made in the tariff, it is evident that all American consumers, except the New England manu facturers, must rely mainly upon tho product of our native mines, and if the agitation now fomented is successful, it is only the Powu Easters that will be materially benefited. The citizens of Philadelphia must look for relief mainly in a more perfect organization of the industrial system of the mining regions of the State. Coal is very often sold for a wondt r fully low price. Thousands of operators en gaged in mining have in turn been ruined by the impossibility of obtaining an adequate reward for the expenditures nnd risks of their preca rious business. There is a chronic tendency to over-production which causes a glut in tho market and forces sales for a smaller sum than the actual cost of mining and transporta tion. If all tho mines aro worked steadily, they can easilyproduce from twenty to twenty five per cent, more coal than tho country needs; and as concert of action among the rival operators and coal-mining corporations Seems to be impossible, tho workmen attempt, nearly every season, to secure a stoppage of operations, in the belief that by this method only can the permanent reduction of prices to too low a standard bo prevented. They have resorted to their usual tactics this year, and after securing a material advance in their wages, they have returned to work in all the prominent coal districts, except in those controlled by two of the most powerful coal-mining and transport ing companies of the Lackawanna region. They have steadily refused to accede to tho demands of the workmen, and the prolonged suspension of operations at thoir important works has given speculators a pretext for starting the cry that the coal snpply may be deficient. There is no real ground for this fear. There are mines, minors, and railroads enough to send to market infinitely more coal than is needed. Past experience has demon strated that even after a stoppage in tho Schuylkill region for several months, extra effort can subsequently increase the product up to the usual standard. PRINCE NAPOLEON. A European arrival yesterday brought us a letter from the private secretary of Prince Napoleon, in which the insinuation that the lat ter wan in any way associated with the Imperial government of his august and astute cousin was almost indignantly denied. At the same time came also a cable telegram from Madrid which announced that General Prim and Senor Olozaga would support tho claims of the Prince to tho vacant throne of Spain Trince Napoloon has at various timos since the commencement of the Spanish revolution been named in connection with the succession to Isabella II, but hitherto his name has not been prominently associated with the position, and even now we have nothing but tho merest rumor upon the subject. But one thing is Very certain, and that is that the Spaniards might do a great deal worse than fix upon the first cousin of tho French Emporor for their Bovereicn. if sovereign they must have. For years past the relations between the two cou ' Kins have been anything but cordial. Tho Prince is professodly a democrat in opinion, and has frequently gone so far in the expres sion of his opinions as to cause a great deal of anxiety to his Imperial cousin, it no were elevated to tho throno of Spain, it is possible that all these heart-burnings might cease, and that they might join hands in the task of still further securing the fortunes of the house to Which they both belong. But tho chances aro ouite the reverse of this, and the liberal policy which Prince Napoloon, as King of pain, might adopt, would tend mrectiy to weaken both the pretensions ana wo popu larity of Louis Napoleon. "Whether entirely reliable or not, the rumor that the Prince has Secured two such formidable advocates as Trim and Olozaga, taken in connection with tha recent letter of the Captain-General of - Madrid proclaiming the revolution thus far failure, and insisting upon the immodiato hwiv vi king, quit jiiguiiiuiUit, HNQLI8II OTt A TTTUDE TO MR. VKABODY. The citizens of London have testified to their appreciation of Mr. Peabody's benefaction to the poor of that city by erecting a statue in his honor, which will serve to keep his bodily presentment always before those who are the reoipients of his magnificent bounty. This statue was unveiled a short time ago by the Trince of Wales, who made nn awkwardly graceful speech on tho occasion, in which ho made such allusions to Mr. Peabody's native country that Minister Motley, who was one of tho invited guests in attendance, was obliged to reply, in spite of his non-speeeh-making proclivities. Tho whole affair was characterized by excellent tasto throughout, and it is gratifying to know that the staluo, which is the work of Mr. W. W. Story, tho American sculptor, is spoken of as a fine work of art and an excellent likeness. We cannot refrain from asking, however, whether tho erection of this statue is all that England, nnd the city of London in particular, intends to do in acknowledgment of tho mag nificent donation of Mr. Peabody. London is the largest and wealthiest city in the world: it has merchant princes whose accumulations amount to as much as those of this American: the Queen herself has an immenso private for tune, and there aro members of tho nobility Whose annual incomes figure up among the millions. These cordially unito to do honor toj Mr. Peabody, to sing his praises, and to set up his statue, but it does not appear to have entered into the head of one of them to imitate his example. Miss llurdett Coutts is the only English sub ject that has in our dny and generation at tempted to apply her wealth with tho same boundless generosity and discrimination as Mr. Peabody, and sho is perhaps entitled to tho honor of having sot him the example. The practical benefits of Mr. Teabody's gift nre, we believe, acknowledged on all sides. Much complaint was at one time made against his trustees, but he has expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with them. They have car ried out his ideas, not by erecting pauper asylums, but by providing, clean, comfort able, commodious, nnd low-priced dwellings for the hard-working, industrious poor of London. This is the practical benevolence not of nn enthusiast, but of a clear-sighted, warm-hearted business man. Without waiting until death to have his wealth divided, he has made a distribution of it in his life-time, and he has had the satisfaction of seeing his great ideas carried out ns he wished them to be. It would certainly seem that such an example as this Rtmldllnd some imitators, but all that London has yet given is a statue, while, great as is the benefaction of Mr. Peabody, it is ut tho beginning of the great work of atuo- iorating the condition of the London poor. There are thousands of men in England nobles, gentlemen, and merchants who could donate as much to such an object as Mr. Pea body without making an appreciable diminu tion of their incomes or depriving themselves of a single proper gratification; but the man who is able to dismiss a million dollars from his grasp without a pang of regret, oven in prospect of tho glorification that would follow the deed, has yet to make his appearance, and it does not seem probnble that Mr. Peabodv will soon have a rival in his particular field. THE FIRM LAST NIGHT. One of the most destructive conflagrations that has ever occurred in this city broke out last evening about 7 o'clock, and after burn ing fiercely all night, it is still not entirely extinguished. The scene of this great disas ter by which it is estimated that over seven million dollars worth of property was des troyed was tho bonded warehouses of Wil liam C. Patterson it Co., at Front and Lom bard streets. It is estimated that there were about 2.",IMMI barrels of whisky stored in the building, which made it almost impossible to get the flames under control. Tho firemen labored with heroic energy all night, but their best exertions wore only able to restrain tho fire within certain bounds, and to prevent a total destruction of tho property for squares around. Tho cause of the fire is now being investi gated, but it is surmised that it was due either to an explosion of the steam boiler in the basement, or else to the falling of a por tion of the building from tho immense weight of the whisky stored in it, and tho consequent running of tho spirits into the furnace. Whatever tho occasion of tho fire may have been, tho moral of the disaster is plain and emphatic; and that is tho practical worthloss ness of most, if not all, of tho so-callod fire proof buildings that are erected in this city. This warehouse professed to be fire-proof, and on this supposition an immense amount of valuable property was confided to it in perfoct confidence. It is true that tho igni tion of tho whisky might be duo to causes entirely independent of tho fire-proof character of tho warehouse, and such a quan tity of spirits once ignited could scarcely fail to create groat havoc. If tho structure, how ever, was really firo-proof, it ought to have been possiblo to prevent tho fire from spread ing from one section to another, and to have kept it under control. Even supposing tho building was till it professed to bo, tho secu rity that was implied in its construction was set at naught by tho fact that there was a steam boiler in tho cellar. This boiler was liable at any timo to explode, and it is not improbable that it did explode, throwing down the fire-proof walls and scattering tho liquid fire in all directions. Now, the question comes up, how many of tho so-called fire-proof buildings in this city are really what they profess to bo ? Aro any of them constructed solely of stone, brick, iron, and cement, from tho bottom of the cellar to the apex of the roof ? or are they merely strengthened here and there with iron girders and sheet-iron platings to tha doors, while the floors, windows, frames, stairways, furniture, etc, are of wood? That a gonu ine fire-proof building can be constructed are so is in reality very limited. Admitting that a building is all that could be desired in its construction, the introduction of a boiler for any purpose whatever exposes it to a now risk; and, as in the case of the disaster last night, it practically renders the pre cautions taken in erecting tho structure of nono effect. In commenting upon a great conflagration like that of last night it is im possible not to express regret at tho valuable property destroyed in a few hours; and while regrets will not avail to recover the loss, the occurrence ituolf may teach a valuable lesson that will do much to prevent a similar disaster in the future if it is properly heeded. Since writing the above, we have been in formed that the building was constructed much as we had supposod. Tho doors nnd roof were covered with iron, but the floors, stairways, nnd other portions of the interior were of wood. In fnet, with tho exception:, named, it was nothing more than an ordinarily well constructed br ck building. It will be readily seen that it had no claim whatever to bo considered ns lire-proof, and yet it was what is commonly considered a fire-proof building, and owners of valuable goods allowed them to be stored there in full confi dence of their security. Comment is almost unnecessary under tho circumstances, but the facts being known, tho conflagration car ries its own moral with it. SAMSON AG ON STL'S. "The colored troops fought bravely" through out the war for the Union, establishing their claim to manhood and their fitness for the profession of arms on many well-contested fields. But the best colored regiment in our service was not fit to burnish up the bayonets of some of the sable heroes who aro assisting tho Spaniards to put an end to the revolu tion and to liberty in Cuba. One Leonidas. who some years ago defended a mountain pass called Thermopylae against the assaults of a large force we don't remember exactly how many the enemy numbered, but there were several millions of them, at least although he had at command a mere handful of 'men. gained great repute thereby; but Leouidni and his comrades in arms were comparatively small fry by the side of these dusky hidalgos. Forty-three of them, a week or so ago, under the commnnd of Colonel Yoller y Lersundi. chanced to be foraging in the neighborhood of Nuevitas, when they espied a party of some six or eight hundred rebels. The odds were nearly twenty to ono, but that merely sufficed to arouse their Spanish pride and to excite their Spanish courage. They forthwith fell upon tho rebels, smiting them hip nnd thigh with a great slaughter. They killed forty of them, almost man for man, dispersed the remaining seven hundred and sixty, and carried from tho field thirteen of their own number who had been placed hn' Ic mnnhttl, eight being quite defunct and five badly wounded. Now the only tiling in ancient, inediieval, or modern history that wo re member to have read which will stand a com parison with tho achievements of these swarthy Spaniards is to be found in Holy Writ. On one occasion Samson encountered a large party of Philistines, who began at once to deride him, deeming it safe to do so since he had just before been bound securely with new cords. But Samson burst his cords, as if they had been made of burnt flax, picked up the jaw-done of an ass, with this ignoble weapon slew a round thousand of his torm enters, and then went to breakfast. If Samson had not been a indge m Israel, he would have been a colored Spanish volunteer. A rrne.iNU ami l'ruu'Yixit Ocekaxios. A number of enthusiastic llepublicans of New York city are attempting to "purge and purify"' the party in that loc, "tty by getting up a third distinct llepubliean organization, in addition to the two already in existence, in tho expectation, of course, of ultimately de molishing or absorbing the two old-time rival organizations. But the reformers are not suffered to engage in this laudable under taking without encountering a share of tho persecution which besets the path of every reformer. Some ingenious politician who does not desire to bo "purged and purified" contrived to have them shut out of the hidl for tho use of which they had beon so simple minded as to tender the cash in advance, and tho reformers, or more properly speaking tho political purgers aud purifiers, were obliged to coop themselves up tho other evening in an apartment over the way, which was only about half large enough to hold thoir virtuous oorporalities. They weathered it through, however, and tho fact that they did so, and adjourned only to meet at a more convenient season nnd in more commodious quarters, shows that the leaven of reform has begun to work in them in thorough earnestness. The whole movement is likely to end in froth, but it is to bo hoped that the upshot of it may be otherwise. Now and Then. In the summer of 1SC7 General Kosecrans was invitJud to attond a llepubliean ratification meeting at San Fran cisco, but being unable to do so, ho wrote a letter instead, in which occurs this passage: "If 1 could I would say to those bravo men who now frankly accept the decision of the question they fought on, cast your lot with the Union men of this nation, who opposed and fought you trust meni. i.et not a lew extremists, excited oy vague or unfounded appreheimlods, by personal Interest or ammtion, prevent you ironi meeting tnu great body of the National I'nioti men represented by Congress, and closing forever the agitation about reeoustruc. tion. It is obvious that there should be no wavering fn their support of the general policy of Congress, however its details mayor may not re quire modification. No representative ought to lie elected to congress on platforms oi opon or covert opposition to measures wneroin unauty is more mi portunt than detail." A year later, however, this same Kosecrans took "his heart in his hand" and journeyed down to the White Sulphur Springs of Vir ginia, to relievo himself of a burden of "solici tude" by consulting with "a body of brave, energetic, and self-sacrificing men" against whom ho had contended on many a well-fought field, under the belief at tho time that they wore traitors to thoir native land, to devise ways and means to prevent Congress from 4 'drif tin a us towards consolidation. ' And now this self-same llosecrans is tho Democratio candidate for the Governorship of Ohio. Having taken the first step at the White huipnur bpimgs, he goes down uul at The new editor of tho New York Tim', Mr. Bigelow, in commenting upc" 4,he error which American journals should endeavor to avoid, says: "Incidental to a want of t.rtithfulnps In the press Is the pract.ee of giving prominence and noto riety to obHoure people in whose move neuH the public in general r an have no poMMo interest, it encourage a depi avert Mute for publicity; It rlls tutb the proper standards of public Judgment: It given iiiidexcrved prominence to people whose vanity ruu-d be prrpnmcri to hac provoked it aid w to be praMied lv it, and of course throw a more deserving elnss into corresponding obscurity." There is a good deal of force in this re ninrk. It is applicable to the latitude of Phi ladelphia as well as New York, and it would be fortunate if the entire press cordially united in a determination to avoid giving "prominence and notoriety to obscure peo ple." We have entirely too many fussy little great men, Tin. New York Sun. which is just now at tempting to shed a great deal of light upon the interior of President Grant's Cabinet, his discovered that Senator Cole, of California, left New York "privately" a week or so ago, bound for San I'omingo on a special mission, by authority of the administration, to Presi dent Baez. which has for its ultimate object "the admission of ihe Dominican Republic as one of the I'nited States." If Senator Colo should succeed in persuading the Dominicans to put aside their well-known hostility to tho United States and consent to annexation, it will be well for him to protract his diplomatic visit long enough to induce them to give up their disagreeable habit of cutting each others' throats, or of attempting to do so. With their present sportive everv-day habits, the Dominicans would make anything but de sirable citizens of the I'nited States. Pr.EsiniNr Gnvr has refused a present of fifty acres of land recently tendered him. and hns purchased a cottage at Long Branch. The announcement of these two facts will trouble tho Worltt nnd sundry other journals not n little. Tins Trade ok Japan According t the otuela report of the North Ocruiim Consulate In Yokohama, ilapati, In the year Wis, 870 vessels entered that port, with a total burden of 2"1,22H tons. Of these Us (S7,',!T! tors) were British, 102 (1,Vi,liiS tons) American, 44 (I7,ssi Nortti-cierman, ami 29(9t,74lons French.

The great monthly British, American, and French mall steamers are lucluded among the shipping of their respective countries, which of course tends to reduce consider ably the proportion of vessels under the North-Ger man Hup. In the .same year 114 ships, with a united tonnage of 40,sifi tons, entered the port of Hakodadl, 40 of which (is i',79 tonsi were British, as (14,(M tons) American, 21 (7'Jcl tons) North-German, and 5 (1372 tons) French. The number of vessels which sailed from liakodadi was iu nearly the same pmpoatlon as that of i he arrivals.

Fakrki iikhkinu Co., No. C.-0 Cliesnat street, Philadelphia. Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort wa made on tho night of May 5!9, I8110, to drill tha Banker's chest rwelved from you a few msnta ago. From facts that have coma to our knowledge, It Is evident that the iilton;et to open It was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill It useless, the effort - wan then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood for several hours, but supposfng It to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rati, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were not only prepared, but perfectly fauiillar with, the construction of your Chest. That they failed Is another evidence that your Banker's Chest are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof. Respectfully yours, 6164j J. BALSBACK, Agent.
