The ore was ship. .ped to England on; speculation by several enter prising individuals; and as there was no duty at that time on the article, the company were remunerated for their trouble. As soon, hoi;vever, as it was gen :entity known in , England that: the Americans were -shipping Iron ore td, that country at a profit, what • 2., maibe termed a prohibitive duty, was immediately laid on Foreign Iron !ore imported into Great Britain. "If the same policy was pursued by the United States, -capitalistic would eagerly invest their means in the Coal and Iron trades and those already engaged in the business would I prosecute :their works with-re doubled vigor, as they would have the stimulus be fore them of a sure market, and remunerating prices for their investment and labor;. With proper en couragement and management, what a source of wealth would the geed ) old commonwealth of Penn; Sylvania possess in her Coal and Iron mines"!

' 1 The quantity of 'foreign Coal imported into this country last year will not fall rouch . short of 200.000 tons; and as long as the Coal can'be imported at such a price as willlpay the therchant a profit, we may expect en increase in the ! importations.

Judge Banks is in favor of a Tariff. He is inlayer of protecting the manufactures of Penn sylvania. Ile - is inlayer of protecting our iron and coal trade, and thus fully develops the wonderful re sources of this State, His - views on the sunject of our public improvements, of the necessary economy to be observed in the administration mf our State Government, •&c. &c. will be given lin full on some future occasion. 'Judge Beek* originally belonged to the old Jack son party, but differing with the adherents of the "Old 'Roman;' soon after his inauguration, on the Tariff question, he felt it to be his duty to secede -from a , partl, which he could no longer honestly support. He afterwards ran for Congress as an in dependent candidate, in opposition to the regularly nominated Jackson candidate, in the district corn -posed of Beaver and Mercer Counties, and was tri umphantly elected and most ably and fearlesily did be diticharge the, duties of his high and honora ble office. Judge Banks has held various offices in the gift of a free people. He has been tried in both !repub lic and private capacity, and net found wanting, and he now proudly stands free from stain or reproach. The destinies of Pennsylvania must be onward, with such a distinguished patriot to guide the helm of State. (0 .

Their interests are i&entical and indivisible—they cannot be eeperated without the .most fatal conse quences to both pasties. We are aware of many short sighted persons of this borough—and property holderttoo, who make their purchases in Philadelphia of groceries, dry goods, furniture, &c., because, as, they alledge, they s can procure these articles there on mere revertible terms than in Pottsville. If their ex ample was generally followed, and the principle car ried out to its fullest extent, this. bustling and thri ving town would soon present a different aspect. Stores and shops would be closed—our mechanics would be obliged to seek employment elsewhere-- and the value of real estate, as a matter of course, Would be greatly depreciated. The wealth and prosperity of both cities and towns depend either upon their trade or manufactures. With us ,of Pottsville we are both a trading and manufacturing people ; and it requires no prophet to tell that as oar trade and manufactures increase, our town will thrive and prosper in the same ratio. By encouraging our own Mechanics, in a very short time, competition will reduce the price to the lowetat rates, and our citizens would be furnished with quite as good and fashionable articles as can be procured in Philadelphia or elsewhere.

SPECIE.—The American Sentinel, of Philadelphia, a respectable Van Buren paper, says : We learn from good authority, that persons'en. gaged in this civ in bringing suits against the Banks for the non payment of their notes in specie, as soon as it is paid to them by the Banks on the return day of the writ, go immediately to the Bro kers and sell thaw peels at 5 or 6 per cent. for other notes, for which they again commence new pro. ceedir.gs against the Banks. These are the persons who cry nut lustily for a specie currency, and the moment they get any specie sell it fur notes. We have heard of specie as low as three dollats 'being offered for sale to the Brokers. On come notes the premium obtained is much greater. Is a certain Andrew Miller, who figures so large ly in these prosegutions, one of this class 1 or is he one of the regular sharks, commonly called Brokers ?
