been shipped, and we presume as much more has
been shipped this week—itay , in all, 3000 tons,
which, added to the shove 13,788 tons, would giver
an aggregate of 16,788 tons.
This shows a consider:Ada falling off compared
with the quantity of coal shipped last/ear up to the

60,902 tons of coal had been shipped. A compati•

'F. .T.' has sent us a common cation from which we
make the following extract : laTkeledies of Potts

Besides, we admire them. • Nothing sets off a pretty

know a little of every thing, and that they are remar

most striking instance we have' ever met with, of a

" During the late terrific gals in the Atlantic. o
seaman in the American pack t -ship. Philadelphia
had the misfortune to fall from tke rigging and break -
both his thigh bones, one of which was broken close
to the htp, and was a compound fracture.. To the
credit of her attentive commander, Captain E. E.
Morgan (the sea at the time rollieg mountains high,
and the vessel having been laboring in a Merriest e
for several clays,) he had the humanity to do his best
to save the unfortunate mariner. He at (ince took ,
upon himself the office of surgeon in promtly redu
cing the tiones of both legs The seaman did very
well ; and incredible as it may appear, a cure was
effected. On the arrival of the ship in London, the
'rufferer was conveyed to a hospital and was told he,
was going on well. The worthy' captain not being
content with. this, took him to Goes. On the banda
ges being removed, the consulting surgeons decisivd
that any student leaving the hospital with the credit
of the skilful treatment eahibited k i n this case, might
consider himself well established n his profsasion."

which brings on the protracted mini that usually ac

consideration. It is known, as reported by the Eng
