In 1825, the quantity received was .6,1500 till;

, 1
From the above 'data an idea of the iMportadpi
f the trade may be formed. In fact. anthracite
al will become cum of the great staple articles
f Pennsylvania, and to foster and protect tt world
m to require particular attention.
One of the greatest difficulties experienced by
he tredera is the want- of - convenient ' landingli,
uffieiently-cepacious, upon which to deposit the
al on arrival at our city from the Mince., Beidg
bulky, a very huge extent of wharf ,iii. requirid„
not only fors the convenience of the. uusumous
boats Iffinging it dowa to lay at in safety. and
ischerge; but also ampleupace to deposit it.,-
Also, Whaesel for the sea vessels to lie at in re
ceivieg their cargoes. - - . .7 ; - ' 4"
The present iiiiprovetnents on the :per arc in
tirely inadequate to the object; great incsinvini
ence is experienced from the crowded Manner ;in
which theses Vessels and coal -boats are mixed
together, Wading and discharging.
The location of the proposed plan is en the west
aide cif the river- Schuylkill, on the low grounds
extending from the Upper Bridge tothe lower
end of the Alms House property,' a. Distance -Of
morethan two miles, embracing the whole city
front, is follows:
To be formed into at least tenor more long 4-
1 sins 150 feet wide, to be wrier-led in a continuous
:lite on the river side, also on the basin or inrier
side, leaving a space betwien the tiro lines 'cif
wharves, bf about 150 feet wide, as a landing for.
coal. 4c. The spade to be_ filled up-to a proper
heigitt, by the earth and mod excavated in form
ing the basin—to have at each end a ,tide lodk,
also one in the middle, and if necessary a lift hulk,
through which boats can piss at all times of tide,
both Tin and out of the basin. The tide-locks :to
to be thrown open a' soon at the flood tide in the
river rites sufficiently to open the gates freely.
and admit a free pekssge of the water, and the
coal boats in and out of the basin. The es tea. to
remain open until the tide recedes, when the gates
are to fie shut, to maintain a proper height;lof
water in the basin, au as to keep the boats alwys
afloat, never suffering it to fall more than a ot
beloW high water mark. Tine unifortnity in the
water level' removes one of the great, objections
experienced in discharging coal at the present
landings; where, it must be thrown ,Six feet i in•
height tit low water; whicn, in addition to thee:-
tra labour, has a tendency to bleak it up, and
render it less valuable.
(-The plan also affords a continuous towing path,.
an ample extent of wharf, where the coal Witt
may,lie at'all times in perfect safety,, riot. incribi
i [Boded by.the..see vemele,which aretobii arranged
.on the' icer side Of the basin., entirely , intparateW
from each other, the coal, &c. between their,
handy to both, and affording tr i p&ade a splice
for its acconrmodatiffii double ' Bich can be!
obtained without a basin. - . ,
The plan of tide-lucks and docks, or basins„
has been long in use in London and LiverpOol;
All the shipping there enter them to discharge
and load their cargoes.-and are considered, Om
long experience. as affording the tiest.leoniniona
non for the convenience and safety of trade;
The ground upon which the plan is propeated
to be located is at present, a marsh, several
hundred feet in width, nearly the whole distance,
and is mostly covered With water at hilt tided
and left bare when the tide recedes, exposed fto
the action of the son, which in hot weather

lining law non-accepting districtecan only adopt
the system by the vote of the citizens issembled
to elect Directors, which in toast cases takes
place on the.thied Friday in Minch. Hence:it
follows that though the completion of the for.
Mimeo does eat take placeitill Novembei, yet, that
the-act ofaceeptince which du Slone prevent it
from attaching, must be performed Ibr townships
in Merck and for wards and beroughs...at the

sections,
This being the manner- andleffect of the for
feiture caused by continued rejiition, it becomes
proper to state the consequences of preseuvadop
thin. -.-; .
Acceptance of the System next Spring will
_not fasten it on the Distnet toreirvir, but only till
the Rpring of 1840, or for Iwo years at the end
of which tune it may be discuntineed by the vote
of a majority Of ell the qualified voters of the'
District, if the exuerimect should not t provo. sat

Present acceptance willprevent thei fin-failure
not agouti but offour orfive yeos• State appro-
priation. including that of next school year, a
mounting in the aggregate to about &I to each
taxable Inhabitant, or to $2,000 iii a District con
taining SOO taxablesonthout counting any thing
on a probable increase of appropriation by the
present Legislature. i
Acceptance next Spring, and i ii l i te oonsequent
receipt of the above accumulated ividends, will
only burthen each District, next year, with , a
school tax equal to 641 cents on leach taxable. -4,
This tax, however, is • not to be paid in that proi
portion breach taxable, in the manner of a Kill
tax, but will be assessed-on- the. property. profes
sions, and persons that pay County rates, and on
such-personal property as paid Slate tat. The
school tax on a township having 500 taxables, and
receiving $2,000 of State ippiopriation , would be
something less thans32s. •
_But in reality, acceptance will not add much
if any thing, to the burthen of taxation. in the
most populous counties. It is knnwn that in ma
ny District s the tax collected by the Commission
era for the'education of poor children, is equal to
the sum which would benecessarY to entitle those
Districts to the receipt of the conic* School
Funds, if they should adopt the 'system. Nor
