Sev eral causes have transpired to produce the delay, amongst which the following are most prominent. The death of one -member of my -family and the protracted sicknesslof another.

However I have now this mater in that state of .forwardness which will enable me to continue the communications more regularly than. heretofore, With the facts I have acquired, with great la bour. and cost, and the Map whereon is delinea ted the true situation of the subterranean workings and surface explorationS, I shall_be enabled ,to give a dear, and Pfrust satisfactory description of the Mineral estdies 'hereafter to be spoken of,—.

I have-found , it a very hard matter to get correct information at 'some of the :times, where I have' been compelled to make in quiry as to animator° of the strata, the compara• hive thickness of coal and slate, and the - course and dip'of the veins, to which I 'had no meats of personal access—the dilferent7staterectits have been at so. much variation with"each as to render the whole cotnii,arativelruseless: In other cases I have found things upoti personal examination 'directly contrary i s what I had previously been led to believe was the case—these differences may be accounted for in this way—the mines arc gen erally worked under leaser and not' unfrequently change hands :by the lesse selling out—and the ' second Or third tenant as the case may le,hotally ignorant Of any change in the 'coal vein 'or any Arregulations proven in 'the workings whic,h took 'place in the line of the former tenant—the tenants generally care but little about matters arid things, beyond what concerns them—to diive on their .gangways and obtain the coil from the iireast folL market.

They, the Capitalists -of the Eistiln States, are beginniWg to feel and know that the Anthracite of Penu s'ylvenia has gained that esteem in their markets, that its uses must increase as long as their menu fa'cturers rue working, a n d that the Anthracite-of Pennsylvania will the used in preference to Coal of any other. kind,ur• from any other likewise (as well ha Many others) are aware. that investments judiciously made in the Anthracite lands of this State will pay a much heavier per contage upon the capital invested; to purchase; open and work than can be reliyd upon from' anyother source. I ant parsu.ded that in • the coure of - the pres ent year many changes in the ownership of estates in the Anthracite lands of Pennsylvania will 'take place, and.the,c changes will be made not as heretofore, witb speculative'views, but for pertna) neat- investments..'; The - estates of the First or South and the Second or Middle Anthracite Re gions at• the present time, :ire with very few ex ceptions in the hands of those who will hold fast to .them—those who know 'and do appreciate their .incomes from which, without risk, without trouble, care, or expense rue . great, beyond what they arc generally believed to be, and I may in'sontic future paper speak upon this sake. . • In the neighbourhood of Beaver Meadow, Hazhton and the _Coal Basin of the Lehigh the Anthracite lands in the Markets fur sale are very limited, and [ think the close of this present year' Will find the whole of the coal lands of this vadu, able - part of the Anthracite formation in the hands of permanent holders. - • The Wyoming and Lackawanna Anthracite lands arc likewise attracting great attention among. capital6ts,_and should the North Branch Canal, which is now under consideration, be continued and completed, and the' contemplated outlets by railways be made—Markets would be created for the production of this vast Coil Region 'in the North and un the Lakes, equal and, perbaps su- perior to the South and the-Atlantic; fur profit.
