We re-publish below 'an article in relation: to . the use of anthracite Coal, that 'rip ProbablY" . haVe interest for many of our readers. It contains a- statement of the +portant faCt that gaS of great illuminating pow9r, requiring - no Purification,' may be obtained from it, rapidly and abtindantly.' It thus appears tliat this mineral, so receinlyi . deemed. valueless, is coming into activity for air the purposes for which'biturninouscOalhas here tofore been 'used, !and froth its 'superior'Power, cannot fail to produce greater results than hale as yet been obtained with any other species 'of fuel whatever. • It is, 'according to this writer; " a specieSof concentrated fiiel," which he thinks of " incalculable value for steamers, going upon long voyages." But a little while since, it Could" scarcely be used. in our parlors, or drawing rooms. By slow degrees, it made its way intO•the }theft= ens ; but even then it was held' to useless for the blast furnace, the Smithery, the steam engine, or the lime-kiln, It has - been 'gradually super seding wood and bituminous -coal in 'all Cand now. we see .that there is a strong probability. that our gas works Will soon cease to use the coal of Nova Scotia, dr that of Liverpool, and that our streets will bel l lighted With the produce'of our own mines. We rejoice at this, because We are anxious that those who have been for so many years em ployed in constructing railroads and canals to fa cilitate the transport - to market of this important commodity, and those others who have employ ed their capital in '';the important improVements made, or being made, in our great coal region, should receive the'return to which they are so fairly entitled. That they will do so, we enter tain no doubt. Many of those improvements are now much depresSed in value: far lower, we think, than the circ{imstances warrant. The in creased demand for Coal that must take place will, we doubt not' l find itbundaut employment and sa tisfactory re4enues I for' all ; and we are strongly disposed to bldieve that trine will edam when •we shall 10011 back to the 'Year 1841, and feel at a loss whether mo't to admire the confidence which induced the4urdiases of 1836 and 1837, or the distrust which caused the salts of the pre sent time. .Stankind - are almost always disposed to go to extremes ; and we need not desire a more striking exemplification of the fact than is to be olilained by gomparing the prices of Lehigh and other stocks in the fast few years. Their value should be 4eater now titan it was five 'y'ears since, because it is Certain that the consumption of coal will increase more rapidly than was anti cipated ; yet those Who then would give eighty dollars fot a share lof stock that had cost fifty, will not now give fifty for a certificate of loan that cost one hundred ; and that must be good so long as a share of steck is worth a single dollar. We think it highlyiprobable that the consump tion of 1850, includmg that required in the man ufacture of iron, will not be short of four milli ons of tens. If so; the estimate that will then be placed upoii coal property, and upon the capi tal invested in railroads and canals leading to the coal , region, hill, rise think, differ widely from that of the present day.

All personslivlM have been much accustomed to the use of antiu-acit.l for fuel, seem to entertain an idea that the'application of water has a bene .ficial effect. :.It is the invariable custom of the old inhabitants of lire districo. where no other fuel is used, to wet the.coal-bekne putting! it on the fire. Awct paste of small eulin, mixed: with clay, makes a more lively and pleasant fire than k,uall coal alone. This must arise from the clay reLiining a portion of the water until decompo sed by the ignited carbon of the coal producing the gases, carnic o. ide and carburetted hydro gen. It has been su gested that the application of vapor of water to anthracite fires in steam boi lers would supply the gacous or volatile proper : tics of bituminous coal; there is, however, much difficulty in the perfeet development of the prin ciple, arising from the compact structure of the coal, and the dose manner in which the pieces of coal..seem to adjust - themselves in the fire. It I . is necessary that the coal be kept in an active I ' state of cornbuthion, while the vapour is passing through, but so lite passage being allowed through the fire, whe r l. the vapour of water is ap t plied, it shuts off the fupply of air, consequently ; the combustion is diminished. It requires both a very high tempenttUre and a large quantity of pure air, with a full q4sanium of oxygen to con• samecarturetted hydrogen—the most important of the two guse. Car'bonie oxide barns at a very low temperature, and produces little heat.:.A quantity of flame May easily be produced by steam passing thniugh an anthracitc'fire, but it is . chiefly ,that of the latter gas, the . former being volatilised withbut 1)1111144, and its powerful effect consequently lcist r ' . lesidefithe air necessary to keep up' he combustton of the coal iu!the fire, a large quantity - is nece+sarif tei consume the gases, and that; - too, at a high ternPeraturc.- It appears impossible to attain these results withlt o common draught. _.

At minute quantity' of water running into a blacksmith's fire, When using anthracite, - ivotild 'remedy this—the presence Of hydrogen prevent ing, in a'great measure; the formation of the"cin s 'der. It is an axiom in the north of England, that 'a good gas coal is a good smith's coal, and vice versa: It will quite impossible to manufacture malleable or bar-iron of good quality; using un- . thracite for .fuel, without the application of the vapor for water. This is a subject of the deepest interest to parties embarking in iron-works; where anthracite must be used for fuel. A patent for producing gas, by passing steam throngh a retort charged with anthracite!'has been taken out by E: 0. Manhy„ Esq., C. E., of Swansea, a gentle man possessing a thorough local knowledge of the anthracite district of South 'Walei, and who has had the best opportunities of judging of the powers and capabilities of the coal. He produces gas of great illuminating power, rapidly and dm , tinnily, which requires no purification. It seems likely that the distinguishing feature in the differ ence of the several varieties of coal depends 'uplin the presence of the elements of water, either en tire or in varying proportions, that arc combined with the carbon—anthracite being quite free from them. It is a fair speculation to imagine that the anthracite veins of coal at some period possessed bituminous properties, but that being more iup. mediately acted upon by volcanic commotion, all volatile matter was expelled, while extraordinary pressure being applied left the coal a.solid com pressed mass of carbon, constituting the peculiar characteristic of anthracite.

If Massachusetts is so much inter ested, what will not Pennsylvania suffer when :the duty, in June next, comes down to 20 per cent- on a foreign valuation? Pennsylvania is the great Iron State of the Union, and the blow aimed at the iron manufactures will fall heavier within her borders than any where else. We have not received full returns of the mar shalls for taking the census, in relation to iron manufactures. They tiro limited to the tons of bar and pig iron made in 210 charcoal furnaces in 1839. Since that time, there have been put into operation in Schuylkill, Lehigh, Columbia, Northumberland, and Luzenie counties, several furnaces using anthracite coal as a fuel. More than 41,000 tons of anthracite coal passed the. BervviAt lock in 13 months, three-fourths of which was used in the Columbia Furnaces. It is pro bable that at least L 5,000 tons of pig iron have been made in the anthracite furnaces within the year, which • added to the 98,350 made in the charcoal furnaces, makes the aggregate of pig iron annually made in the state 113,35010n5, worth $2,400,500.. There was also made in 1839 in 190 Forges and Bloomeries 70,000 tons of bar iron, worth-at that time $4,900,000,—an addi tional value being giVen to it by being converted into barb of $2,800,000. There are engaged in , these Furnaces Bloomeries and Forged more than 15,990 workmen, who with theirlanailies number 60,000 persons. $ 2.9,32 Besides these, we have fad reports from 8 coun r ties, out of 53, made by the County Commission ers to the Secretary• of the Commonwealth in 1839, and published in the Legislative Journals of 1840, of the several manufactures of iron. From these reports . from 699 townships, we have made extracts, and estimated the remaining 361 townships. • The great iron counties of Berko, Schuylkill, Northampton, Lebanon, Dauphin, Actrims, Aiif fin, hmiata, Westmorel'and, Vcnango and Fe ycttc, irrade np reports. . . . e 26,50 104 Apt 41.*) .
