As soon is the official quantity of coal is re
ceived from the Lehigh and ',eel:astute regions,
we.will furnish our readers with our annual sta
tistics of the Coal trade.
Notwithstanding the general depression of the
times; it is generally conceded that the low 'rates
at which coal has been 'telling will increase the
consumption for the present year at least 150,-
000 tons. Bb.ce the business has attained any ex
tent. II a dealers in . Pniladelphia have never had
an small a n 'mount cn hand it the close of
the navigation as thy 'have this year. The put•

the Trade and wi,jl also result es •-1
consumors.
Thus hes closed one of the most disastrous sea
eons we have ever experienced in this region. Ow
ing, to the unsettled state el the currency and trade,
the prices have been such es to render the bitsi
nese a very unprofitable one to all those engaged
in it here. We sincerely hope that we may ne
ver again witness the same trials and difficulties,
and that another season may bring us better prices
and a healthier trade.
Acctosturs.—lt hos been our painful duly to
relate the occurrence of several serious secidena.
which have already taken place upon the Potts'

were crossing the covered bridge at Schuylkill H.

were entering it from the other side. They

had time enough to do, they ran along the narrow

outside of the bridge, and , were supposed to he

choice tor the yrosidencv, I am highly honqred;
and if it were k compatible with my position as a
federal officer, I should certainly be in the midst
of you on the interesting occasion.
With one candidate for the Presicency,ancl the
best Interests of the country at heart, it aught not
to be doubted that the Whigs, appealin to the

successful in 1844, asthey . were in 18 o—wheth

The Tribune very properly remarks:--'.By the
above table, it mill be seen that Loco-Focoism has
won its astonishing, overwhelming victory ( as is

two years ago, when we beat its utmost Mice con

Meanwhile we rest in calmness and hope, know

to the strength of the Whigs. .
ATTFIIPT AT SWINDLING.—Our increased vi
cinity to the city brings us within the cabalistic
circle of city fraud and roguery. A.new method of
swindling was tried upon one of our milliners
a few nights since which fortunately did not suc
ceed. A girl professing to be the servant of one
of our most respectable citizens entered the store,
and requested a bonnet for her mistress to look at.
The prison in attendancp refused to let her haat
the article, but promised to send an assortment a
round-,the next morning. This was accordingly
done, when it was discovered that no such thing
had been ordered. and that they had no knowledge
whatever of the girl. Our merchants will have to
keep a bright look out for such creatures, In 'fu
ture; as every plan, which ingenuity can contrive,
will be practiced upon them.

so general, that on Monday an attempt was made
