Awn Thtztriariece efforts have been making;ty the most stienGfie meD, both of this country and togland, in order to aster tain the pow er . Antiiiimitocoalin raising steam, with the view of testing Its value for Imam engines, it would seem that our °wo government has thrown every obstacle irk tho wa y, in ..order to Prevent the in troduction of this coal onfboaid of our national steam reimels. Three 7 'flielM frigates of the , largest class beve been'recently built it New York end Philadel phia,two for the United iSkates, and the remaining one for the Russian Governrent; and our readers will •feern with surprise thetjhe two former : will use bi tuMineus coal for fuel, bile our own Anthracite as to be vied on board the tatter. In order to test the'conaparative value of Antbra , Cite and bituminous colt for steam-engines-6 say.. nothing of sofely- 7 -it witild be as well to 'examine ' into the peculiar propertiis - of these fuels for that pur pose. In the 'kind of lid used fur steam - engine : furnaces, it is not only necessary that the complete Coinbustion of the cord should be secured,. but it • should have the requisite power to raise steam rapid ly. The objections herkofore urged against anthra cite coal was, that faring to the slowness of the com ',lristion of the fuel it would not answer , well for' rais ing steam on board of vessels, although it might be introduced into manufacieries with great advantage. 'Now we look upon thisiobjection as mere fudge;for i; does not exist in reality. If the furnace in which the Anthracite is used is properly constructed, ttecre pitatiOn is prevented, the combustion is rapid, and -the steam easily kept . The learned Dr. Fyfe -.President. of the.Socketv of Arts for Scotland, is ofeilnion that the greater the pro prirtLin of fixed:carbon in . a fuel, the greater will be the practical evaporativcfpower. Tho Doctor arrives this conclusion after tasking several carefully con ducted exper iments . Tltis opinion is certainly at va riance withimpular bettiloa this sulject,for the gen erality of engineers think a great deal depends on the flame of the volatilOnatter ; that is, the heat en volved by the combus t ion of the volatile ingredients of the coal. Anthracite coal contains a much ler , ger per centage'of fixed titlion than the bituminous, ,end, one fourth teas oft, volatile matter; which ac counts fOr the fernier Wiping . with but little flame and 'without smoke, while the reverse is the case with the latter. Thu following is the analysis of Several specimens of Anthracite, as given by Professor Johnson in the Janina! of the Franklin ) Institute. The -reader will Ferceive the large quantity of Axed carbon contained in all the specimens, and the trifling amount of vola tile matter : Water: 3.43 3,26 0,00 2,19 0.40 Volatile Matter, 9,08 1,05 9,60 423 5,51 • Fixed Carbon, 87.48 i 91,69 85,34 92,30 91,01' Ashes, • _5Ol 4,00 5,06 1,28 3,08 100,00 00 , 00 100 , 00 100,00 10,00 Of twelve,spodmens of Anthracite, analyzed by Berthier, the mean , perOentage of li=ed carbon was 79 and of volatile - thatter, 7,37. . Of two speCi• mena of Anthracite frol.n Wales, analyzed by Dr. Shafhaentl, one yielded 2,42 fixed carbon and 5,97 volatile matte:. On an ?average, Anthracite contains abont 92 per cent of fixed carban and 5 per cent vol atile matter. The composition of veral specimens of Scotch end English bituminous coal, as analyzed by Dr. Pyle, was found to be • .Moisture, Volatile Matter, Fixed Carbon, Ashes, 100,0 Dr. Fyfe, the gentlealan previously alluded to, has published the result of +veral experiments which ha made (or the purpose; fascertaining the compara tive • practical evaporatlve power •of Anthracite and bituminous coal; and tpe . result of each experiment clearly proved, that the ovsporative power of anthra cite was much greater' than that Of bituminous. It 'should be recollected that the Anthracite used by the Poctor was of an interior character, and from the description - given of it him, it resembles the Lack ; awana coal of this country. We cannot clOse thii article better then by giving the concluding remarks[of Dr. Fyfe, in his treatise 'lon the evaporatiie poi er of different kinds of coal. o If . however, any reliance is to be placed in the ex ' periine,nts the results of which I have detailed, - I think - they [enginet ri] vill be (arced to allori that lam ' correct in what) aesert, that the greater the proportion of fixed carbon in a fuel, the greater will be the prac ticalevapcirative poweg In a national point of view, theri, now that the demand for fuel has become so great, and that for long voyages, it is of the utmost ronamonco to have th;e fuel powerful, - so as to oc cupy es little •space rutpossible, or rather, if I may • be allowed the expressi4, to have a greater quantity of an evaporative power stowed away in the same space, it is of vast iMPrtance that. ;attempts should be made to introduee the anthracite fuel." .

SPONTANEOUS COM BUSTION, - PP DITUMIN OUS • t Coax..-;-The public and, the presalgenerally have at last become fully iiwatqf the imminent danger of _rising bituminous coal on board of steamships, *Wing toltsgreat liability to spontaneous combustion. Cot.

The fire was discovered at about 2 o'Cleek, A. AL, and was only known to about a dozen of the passengers. who Were On deck at the time, and I 9153 agreed not to name it to the passengers generally, as it might create unnecessary alarm. • Cdpt. Roaxars exhibited the greatest coolness during the period there was danger of the fire ex tending : and from the time that the men were dri. yen from the hold er the iessel unit! the fire was ex tinguished, there was certainly great cause for anx iety and alarm. The great volunie or water thrown into the hold by the use of the steam pumps, soon satisfied lull, however'that if the danger was great, the means of extinguishing the fire was still great. Scotch.

He defended himself as well as might be expected from the attack of so 'many ruffians, but in the course of the unequal fight, he received a l evere stab in the right side, with a dirk knife, by o eof the negroes.
