The Judge might have add So will use no fuel but stn .-, thraeile coAl." . .1 The immense supa rarity of Anthracite over Di luminous coal, for rais rig steam on board of vessels, in manufactories, and or many household purposes, is acknowledged by a I . who have made a compare ', tivesinalysis of - the ant h racite and bituminous coal, -, and who are not influenced by interested motives. The increased consuni tion of anthracite in the ewe tern states during th last twelve months, is the strongest evidence wh -h we can adduce of the cor , rectneas of our asserti n. In many manufacturing '" towns of New York ad New England, where the use of anthracite was unknown three years s aga, they will cash require from[one to fifteen thousand tons , during the present seaaon. In these towns the Lean nfacturers have pracilcully tested the comparative value of anthracite an-i bituminous coal, for the pur , pose - rif raising eclat, and unhositati..gly give the i preference to the former fuel ever the latter, in point 1 of economy, softly, and the arnauat of evap o r a tive power obtained, 1 ,:- Oao of the greatest 1 i 1 thracite coal will be or for the day-is not far covered with Intrannsh' ve i ssels. The vast qui q itred is beyond cake 1 that in a few years t board of steamers, wh station, to rho exclusion, don of fuel. The picl cite coal renders its us absolutely indeapenalb ' at those properties. ;The principal objec ion urged by the learned Dr. .sLardnee against the ui im ate success of ocean steam ers, in point of a good pscuniary investment, was, that the room occupied by the engine, hailers and fuel, would ever preveut the saittiteatuers from be cumin.; profitable freighting, vessels. Subsequeet :events have pioved 014 to a certain extent, the Elic itor was right. Is tok 1 the different Atlantic steam ships, and it will be fooad that they depend wholly and solely upon the passage and letter money tot their profits, and not upon the trifling amount of i freight which they rece ve. As at present coestruct ed,. they never can hope to compete successfully with the sailing vessels, as currier of rnerchandiza. The proportion of freight to the tonnage which the steam . era are enabled to eairslts very small. It may be es tiniatpl at only one fifth of their actual tonnage. d l That is, a steamer o thousand tons measurement can Maly carry about t *o hundred tons freight. In the case.of the Great Vilestern,ddritish Queen. or any ether of the English steamers, this proportion will be fniund a true one. Onboard of these vessels lite ininous coal is used as the fuel for steam, and its bulk is so great, that it occupies nearly, if not quite, One third of the whole ship. In this respect, the ad vantage of anthracite over bituminous is great and inenifest ; for an equal [quantity of evaporative pow er in the former will o6cupy at least' one third less space than the latter. If the anthracite was used on board of vessels the sized of Cunard's steamers, the e saving of space would so great, that they could curry at least, one hund4d tons m .re freight on each trip, which, at $ 25 per ton. (the usual price of freight on board the steamers) iv ould yield $ 2,500. If each steamer should make ten trips a year, there woultEbe . clear saving, or rather, a clear gain of $ 25,000 per annum, by the intradection of anthracite on board those vessels: i 'rho safety of anthiaCite coal over the bituminous - ie one of its greatest recommendations. It is not our present purpbse to spook, of the tendency of bitumin nue coal to ignite from spontaneous combustion. We believe the fact of c . . 3 possessing that danger ma quality is clearly estahlished ; and if, for no other reason, the peblic" demand that its use should be dis continued on board ol_the ocean steamers. We believe there is no case on record of anthracite coal taking fire ssientanepus - l The anthracite is a cl a n i coal, and free from any offensive smell, while th 6 reverse is the case with the bituminous. s We have ;been told by passengers on board both the Great ANlestern and British Queen, that the stench arising from the coal (bituminous) used in those, vessels, sits disagreeable and disgust ing in the highest, or rath er , the lowest degree. With Lily passengers, and es ecially with persona who are troubled with sea afekness, we should suppose that this objection wonld bite most serious one. The greatest item of gzpense in ocean navigation is fuel. The cheapness ,of anthracite, as compared with the bituminous, speak, loudly in favor of the introduction pf the foroser fuel on board - the ocean Steamers. By the use Of anthracite, a - saving of at least twenty-five per cent in fuel would be effected.' The use of anthracite on board of steam vesssla of war, is a mein important consideration. Asuffieient quantity com a he stowed away to last for six Weeks monserapdo without taking into consideration the auxihary aidiof canvass. A supply of bituminous coal Would be exhausted in half that time. In case 'of flight or pursuit, a steam frigate, using bituminous ens!, would he easily betrayed, for their smoke will mark the horizon when- hey are at a distance of fifty and even silty miles. Wo have ourself seen the I smoke of a Charleston s t eam packet at a &Amoco of Oventy-five Milesfrom the vessel. ' While many ad nit t at the evaporative power of •anthracite is greater th n that of bitumindus, they still urge. as'an ohjactio to the former, that owing to the slowne'ss of the co bustion of that fuel it would not answer Well for raising steam on board of vessels, although it might be introduced into manufactories With great advantage: This objection, we believe, has Some foun laden, but it can easily be removed. The fault complained of would ; cease to exist, if the con sumer of anthracite was cquainted with its true na ture and properties : If are is taken in the construe. don of" the furnace, Witt} reference to the peculiar kind of anthracite which is to-be used, decrepitation is prevented, l the conabuition is tepid, and the steam . eas'ily, kept up. • Admitti ng, for one instant , that an- Shracite cannot raise ste m quickly, it 'matters not on a long voYaga., so long as the steam is kept up to a certain gu:ige.

Let us taken hasty glance -truth. To whatever new purpose it has been applied, it has.supplanted the . use of_all ether fuels, for, it ap pears.to Possess a combination, in a - perfect degree, of all the most 'rateable preperties of every descrip• lion of fuel which we are acquainted with; An At* tempt is now making in New York and Boston to introduce this important fuel op bo'ard the Atlantic stem ships, whiclrmust eventually be crowned with th 6 most complete and signal liuceess. • When once tried fairly, there is no fear ofihe result. It is now parthdly need, we understand, on board several of eartird's vessels; . but as it is mixed with the bite minons, its true value cannot be clearly asccitained: We presume this mixture of anthracite and bitumin ous is 'done more fur the purpose of allaying any fears that the travelling public way have, relative to the liability of the latter fuel t - spontaneous combos• lion, than froni any paitialily to the anthraCite. The Russian Steam Frigate IC,lonschatkl. lately built at New York for the Emperor - Nicholas, fur nishes the beat and must striking evidence of the great value of anthracite coal, for steam vessels and its superiority overall other fuels. Her boilers and furnaces were constructed with reference to the ex clusive use of anthracite. This is the only ocean steamer which has made a tair trial of anthracite for fuel, and it is with pride wo say it, that her prior mauces have excelled that of any steam frigate now afloat. Outside of Sandy Hook, 'N. Y., under , a moderate head of steam, she dashed through the wa ters at the late of twelve knots an hour, and we doubt got before she completed her voyage she at—, tamed a still greater speed. - ithe Kamschatha is a frigate Of the largest class, heavily sparred, and 1 up wards of 2,000 tons burthen. The superior clean liness of the Kamschetka over steamers using bitumi nous coal for fuel, was the common remark of all who visited her. We perceive in the New Ycirk and Philadelphia papers that the steamer Great Western, on her last trip from New York, took out 50 tons of Blossburg coal (bituminous) on eiperiment. Capt. Hosken expresses himself perfectly satisfied with the coal, and pronounces it supeiior to any bi:urninous coal which he - has used, with the exception of the Welsh. This speaks well for the•chatacter o" the bituminous coal of our state, but we will attempt to show that our own 'anthracite' is superior to every description of bi tuminous coal fur steam purpqpea. Dr. Fyfo, President of the Society of Arts for Saotland,"aftor making several carefully conducted experiments, has given it as his opinion, that the greater the proportion of OW carbon in a fuel, the greater will be the practical evaporative power; or, in other words, the power of the fuel in generating steam. The Dactor attaches no importance value to the limo of the volatile matter ; that i , the heat evolved by the,, ombustion of the volatileoredients of the coal. fell this opinion he is backed bye con current testini rUy of the mast learned and scientific men of.our owri country.

When we :sitived at the engine house, gotta a large party had callected there, all on the tip-toe of expectation. : Thai scene was enimti ted in the extreme. Workmen were busily engaged in fixing and adjusting the machinery—sonie pach ing7vome screwing on plates4--aome giving the coup de grace to a particular portion of the grand fa-. brit—while the less ambitious found employment sufficient in replenishing the fires from time to time: The sound of hemmers and crow bars Was soon drowned in the shrill Shi#ag oftheestaped steam. At last. all btaa ready. Ata given signal, the steam was turned , on—the 'piston vil,was seen to glide from its hiding place—and. a lowNhoom from the escape flirt announced the engine fairly under way. Soon` the escape became louder and morelrequent— the fires were replenished -r and under a moderate pressure of steam, the fly wheel performed eighteen or twenty revolutions, per minute. We sever saw, an engine we rk more satisfactorily ; and it is not al together superfluous to add, that potations deep were taken by the spectators, in Yuengling's best ale, for its continued success. The engine is from the establistment of Messrs Pomroy & Maginnis, and for workmanship and beauty of finish, reflects the highest credit on those gentlemen: The steam cylinder is 14 inches in di ameter, four sfeet stroke, and five !mile's, each 30 in ches in diameter, and 20 feet long. As in the case of Potts & ?annan's engine, this engine is so arran ged, that with the use of only oite excentic, she re. _versits and works either nay, with the excentic hook on the same shackle pin. The pump to be used in the slope, is three hundred feet long. It will be worked by two working barrels, 10} inches in 'diam eter, which connect with the main pump barrel by goose necks. The engine has been erected for the purpose of pumping water and hoisting coal from the second level of the Gate Vein. The perpendicular depth of that level from the surface is to be about two hun dred feet, and in order to reach it, Mr. Lawton has commenced sinking a slope, to be about 300 feet deep, at an angle of 47 degrees. In working from the lower lever to the upper, it is contemplated to leave a pillar of about fifty feet, in order to support the upper gangway. The present appearance of the slope is highly imposing from its size and mas siveness of structure. Its width is 18 feet between the timbcra and 6 feet high from the top of the rails. There are Iwo railway tracks, 40 . itiches wide, and the rails cast iron—our own pqhiacite. On the left side of the slope a passage is loft, 3 feet wide, for the pump, which hill extend the entire depth of the slope-300 feet We presume Mr. Lawton has no occasion to coin plain of the amount of coal which he has obtained from the first level. It has been worked ten years, and during that time the gangway has been driven in about one mile and a quarter. The vein has an: nually yielded from eight to ten thousand tons. The date Vein coal is peculiarly bright and hand: some in appearance, and not unlike some of the de seriptioni of the, white ash coal in color. Its repu tation is well known abroad. The vein ranges from 5 to 9 feet in thickness. 7,50 88,50 4,00 Some idea may be formed of the incidental ex penses connected with the mining of coal when we state, (hat the con of sinking the above slope will not fall short of $ 15,00 A. In this sum, we include the cost of the engine. • .—T : FIDDLING WITH A .MODAL : following lines are copied from the New England Review.
