8 TUB DAILY EVKJUMO. TELKGJIAPli iJHlLAl)ELl'ilIA, SATURDAY t OCTOBER 22, 1870. CITY 1 If I E LL1 U B ?r C B, . THE COAL TKA.DE, The ntlffii f the Trade The Working aen'a Party ! the Atlner. W tatloan, Kic. The trade Is Btlll unchanged in many particulars. The supply, though somewhat smaller, la still In ad vance of the demand. Trices hare consequently xn tending weaker. The merchants are waiting patiently for cold weather to produce a change in the aspect of affairs. But whfle a better demand will undoubtedly set In with tae coming winter, It will not do to reckon too much on an extraordinary market. It Is generally thought that the condition of the Biutiey market and business generally has kept con turners from buying until they will be driven to It at the very last minute by the cold weather. Such, however, Is not generally the case. Many buyers, especially those who use a reasonable quantity, nave taken warning by the notices published In the vari ous papers several weeks ago, telling them that it was to their Interest to buy early, as coal would un doubtedly be higher In the later months. These consumers, on the strength of this and further ad vice, have not rushed headlong Into the market and bought promiscuously, thus producing high prices at once, but have been slowly and surely for some lime past been buying and laying In their winter's supply. Thus, while there has been but little effect felt by the trade, on account of the increased ton i age, and also on account or the length of time 'in winch the gradual demand was being made, the city consumers generally have made themselves ready tor winter and are now Independent of any rise In price. Of course an Increased demand will come with the winter months, but It will come mainly from the small consumers who will make their influence felt upon the retail dealers; but this Increase will not be greater than in former years, and very probably will not be as great. The miners of Schuylkill are evidently bent upon turning their association into a political organiza tion. If tills Is perfectly accomplished, then look out for its downfall or paralyzatlon. At a meeting of tie Anti-Coolie league held lately in this city, a re presentative was present lrom the W. B. A., who expressed himself and those represented by him as favorable to the idea of the League of forming a worKingmen's political party. Should such a paity be formed the effects would be worse than ever upon the miners. Besides, thnir only strength would be In working in favor of reform, and a party with this object in view, a reform, not a workingmen's party, would consist not only of work Ingmen, but many others who are besides liberal minded and opposed to the short-sighted moves for which the representatives of workingmen's trades onions are remarkable. By a move In this direction nothing would be gained in the way they now desire, hut a more liberal party might be started which better men In the end might tike hold of and work to the best interests of the miners, but In a directly opposite way to what the miners themselves would work It. There Is still some talk of trouble In Schuylkill on the basis question, though probably the talk means nothing more than a discontent which will amount to nothing. At Mauch Chunk during the week there were transported south by all routes 117,30712 tons against lttl,776'13 tons the previous week, a decrease for the present week of 4409-ei tons. In the corresponding wefk of 18C9, 6l,277,09 tons were sent, an increase lor 1870 of 60,090 m tons. CoastwlHe freights at this port have been good, and the supply of vessels is about equal to the wants of the trade.

The trade In divorce cases Is much injured by the cheapness and ease with which they can be firocured In Western cities, and some enterprising awyersfrom Illinois employ canvassers to go from bouse to house peddling divorces without publicity In ten days' time for ten dollars. This mast reduce the fees derived from this lucrative practice, and as the ground of divorce can be alleged want of I leas ore In the society of the respondent, or any ether good reason, the advantage Is much on the ciue of ice w esiern jurists.

The Belgian Motultur officially denies that the Government has re ceived any note from Prussia complaining of the tone of the Belgium press, or that there ia any lack of cordiality in the relations between the two countries. The Advance on Amiens. London, Oct. 22. A despatch from Amiens dated to-day announces that the Prussians are only three kilometres distant. Every prepara tion has been made to defend the town. A special train laden with munitions of war passed through Amiens to-day from Lille, going to Rouen. General Ronrbakl is expected to leave Lille to-day for the same destination. He has sixty thousand men under his command. The correspondent of the Morning Standard Bays The American Ambulance Corps has been given to understand by the Prussians that its aid is not wanted. ' HA despatch from Tours, dated October 31, 10 P. M., says The Papal Nuncio has arrived in that city. M. Keratry has also arrived f fom Madrid. His mission there was to ask material ai l, but on the advice of friends he refrained, and only asked leave to import arms from Spain and the Spanish colonies. This was, however, refused. Reviews at Tours. The troops in camp at Tours are to be re viewed once a week. Reinforcements are con stantly arriving. The Prussians now occupy Gargian, near Orleans, and nearly the whole of the department of the llaut Saone is under their control. The people of Chateaunenf have refused to answer the repeated requisitions of detachments of Prussians. It is understood that the Prussiau commander sustained the action of the people.

In the Court of General Sessions, beforo Recorder Ilackett, Matilda C. Seely, formerly a star actress, aud the adopted daughter of an eminent New York lawyer, but latterly diBHipated aud poor, was placed at the bar charged with grand larceny. Mrs. Kull gratl, the lady preferring -the charge, told how her sympathies were at Arm enlisted for the accused by hearing the story of her life from a friend, who re quested some assistance for Uer while she was preparing to give some draumlo readiugs In Long Branch and here, by which she was so deeply moved that she assigned Mrs. Seely a coroiortuble room at her own residence In East Seventeenth street, and furnished her with clothing, of which she was sadly in need. After enjoying the various acts of kindness per formed towards hrr for some time, Matilda first showed her ingratitude-by becoming intoxicated aad ruining the carpet. Meanwhile she had been noticed to jive readings at Long llrancn In several papers, through the Influence of Mrs. PullgraiT, and had been lent a black silk dress for her nrst appearance. On the 4th of August, while all were at dinner, Matilda left the house with three bundles, which she left In a store In the neighborhood for safe keepiug, and did not return for them afterwards. Uer guilt was clearly established, and the jury fonnd her guilty, and accompanied their verdict wiih a recommendation to mercy. It appears she has taken opium and morphine for several years past, aud although there Is ptrchmeut-like glaze upon her features, they yet bear traces o." former beauty. She played at burton's twenty-live years ago under the name of Miss Clarendon, and was re garded as a star. The Recorder sen her to the State PrUon for two years ami a half. -V. 1'. Cent. Ade.
