kr THE GREAT IRON STEAlikat;--The fol
lowing is a description of this great work t now
in course of construction on the Clyde, copied
from the Edinburgh Journal:
Tho hull of this ship will be finished early the
coming summer, and her machinery is in process'
of rapid construction. She is 680 feet lung, 85!
feet wide at her greatest breadth of beam, and 60
feet depth in the hold, and she will measure from
22,000 t0'25,000 tons. She will
,be furnished with'
beth paddle wheels and screw propeller, the for-1
mer of a nominal power of 1000 horses, the latter
of 1600 horses. The four cylinders in which the
pistons are to work are the largest in' the world;.
each of them weighs 28 tons. The engines when
erected and put together will be upwards of 50
feet high, and the weight of the machinery is es
timatedat 3,oootons. This vessel's structure:limey

entire length, while there will Ile ten partitions!
entirely across her, and four docks •, the hull will'
thus consist 120 large rooms wi th water-Keit
sides. Then three feet outside the hull is an outer
hell, extending above the water line. The strength,.
of this form of structure is estimated as if nearly
solid iron. The ccrt. of this ship'is set down as
likely to useeed two millions of dollars . . She will
carry several thousand tons of coal and . merchan- -

such liquors by a lCis quantity or measure than
one quart; an& airy violation thereof shall be
punishable in the saint) manner as directed by the
2d . section of this eeL
A Harrisburg Orrespondent of the Phila.
Ledger explains the of of this additional
section, thus: ~
This amendment., strengthens the prohibitory
force of the bill..4 , l% r Akityassed the Route of Rep
resentatives, no spfctlision is made fur restricting
the liquor traffic, except; in cases where it is, sold
and consumed on the premises, leaving the class
of retailers who selhmnd do not afford a place fur_
drinking, perfectly flee to pursue their busineis'
unrestricted- The amendment, therefore, applies
to cases not prokiiiite4 in the House bill, and
throws additional gtittrds around this branch of the
retail:unttlequtring 'that a license shall he
obtained from tt;4 COurt of Quarter Sessions of die
proper county, and 14 increasing the tax for such
privilegettii three tituesibe present amount. Ttib,
number of places tor the sale of liquor would thus
be diminished, and the 'revenue derived by the
Commonwealth from this source would bot be less
than it now is.
c TERRIFIC COLLIERYEXPLOSION.—A.
despatch dated at :Richmond, •Va., Mar. /0,
frightful explosion occurred- last
evening at the Midliathian Coal Pits. near
Chesterfield, caused, it is stated, by a blast.—
Sixteen persons h,itve been taken out alive,
and eight dead, but most probably all will die.
It is supposed that,,there were fifty persons in
the pit. at the time. of ' the explosion, most of
whom will doubtless die frijm the effects of
their injuries. The bodies present an awful
spectale, and' are so blackened and mangled
as to defy recognition."
A later despatch' thanlie above states that,
"Thirty-four perscini were instantly killed,
including 28 negroes awl 6 whites; , and 12
negroes and 5 whfte persons were 'so badly
'burned that but tlires- or four can , possibly
recover. The soit4 were considered perfect
ly safe and free from foul air, but la ma
king a blast, an old shaft sink was accidental !
ly crushed, from whibh poured forth an,im
mense volume of gas, that instantly became
ignited, causing au explosion that shook the
earth for miles around.
Over one hundred white miners were fortu
nately out of the pit at the time. Every ef
fort was immediatcly made to rescue those
still alive. •The deadwere found with no flesh
to their bones, holding shovels, pieks and drills
in their hands. The flesh on those • rescued
alive is burned to the bone as if roasted. The
pits are 750 fed de'ep'
This may afford ,:consumers some . idea of
the risks to be encountered in the laning bus
iness, and should in some measure appease
their clamor for lciiv prices, when they see
what the article occasionally costar.
FAVORADLO. SIGN.—Wo are glad to-see
certain gentlemen in; this county, who. opposed
last fall, a portion of :the D.emocmtio ticket, now
manifesting an appaterlt interest in the affairs of
Mir party. It is to tie hoped they are sincere, and
not hunting office. The party now wants regulars
and recruits, and not:Generals; and if worthy and
competent men be !diced in nomination, and har
monious action folios., the whole democratic tick
et will be trioinpliantly'elected.-7-Regigter.
Exactly so—the; - •"party" is sadly in want
of ':recruits," but :Where they are to come
from is the question..' "Sam" has bee.o round
enlisting pretty rteirly all that are worth hav
ing; and they don't : wen" to higgle much about
terms, either. Thti.• truth is, neighbor, your
"regulars" have become heartily disgusted
with the manceuvers of your "Generals ".
(youre ashamed at , some of them, yourself—
arn't you? be hone:Et); and so have concluded
to throw these worthies overboard and take
the reins, them selve4, hereafter. Glang--clear
the track! •

Dar WARMIT;# CITIES / -A French Journal
"L'Antides ScibtreB," points out to speculators
an invention foi(which le gives credit to the
Americans. lt:is proßoled, they say, to found
a city in the United States with the streets
warmed from below, so that the 'snow shall
melt as soon aglt touch 8 the soil, the raid
will evaporate, a:iul the inhabitants will always

enjoy a mild temperature. The method to be
employed consists in carrying the smoke of ail
the chimnies into the dra us,from which it will
pass to a great t hollow pyramid, erected with
out the city, ant its motMn upward will be eii
cited by a powerful swain enmine." Though
the editor of thh,ziznidesiScicilces calls this A
a Yankee projeet, he states at the same time
that the remarkable idea of it was first started
by a K.' Jobardi of Bru3sels., The weather

Colliers' expense# materially when the : product is
diminished for the want of facilities. Many talk
of advancing the! price of Coal a shade On theist

the
be for the
Railroad Compsuiy to reduce the freighte and tolls
to $1 75, and the 25 cents could be divided be
tween our 'aperaters and the miners, which would
not enhance the price of Coal on board at Rich
mond. The plan of strengthening the Railroad
Coinpany by deadening and destroyingibore who
finish the trade; is characteristic of thii 'motives'
which prompted the killing of the Goose that laid

Report if Ike Abelaware, LUCka IMMO: & West
ern Railroad Conijxway.—Wo have received a copy
of the Seiond Anneal Report of the Board of
Managers of , this! Company, for the year 1954,
fiom which we glan the following: , •
This Company rent to market in 1854,133,985
tons, of which the Company mined from their
own lands,.loo,o6l.tons, and obtained from others
33,004 tuna. Alllthis Coal was sent North from
Scranton into the interior of Pennsylvania, New
York, end even toeanada. The estimated amount
of Coal that will be mined In - 1855, is, given at
300 to 375,000 tons-250 to 300,000 ton! of which
will be mined fripm the Company's lands,. and
75,000 furiiished by others.
Tho Southern Division of this Road will lead
from Scranton to !Elizabetbport, the pant of ihip
ment—distance from Scranttin, 12/ miles.
From Elirabethport to Sow York, f t , 13 d ,
From Serantoe td New York, 140 "
This Road, we 'learn frem the Report, will be
finished and ready for use by the Ist of Septem
ber of this year, tihould no accidents occur" to re
tard the work. As soon as the road is 'completed
the Company exiieet to transport Coal from the
mines et:Scranton to Elisabethport, (13 miles from
New York,) for $2- 54 per ton, which is at the rate
of two cents per Imile. The, expense of mining
Coal and putting it in the cars, independent of
any rent, is about $1 per ton, according to the
report of tact year.
This Company encountered the same difficulties
in the introduction of Coal into the interior of
New York that were encountered by the pioneers
in the Schuylkill ! region, when our "Black Stones"
were first introduced into Philadelphia-Ihr sale by
the late Col. Shoemaker ; although, we believe,
they were not eisetly pronounced "wirosrens,"
and driven out of the maOret. The Report, how--
ever, states that in the city of Syracuse, in. 1852,
scarcely a Coal stove could he found, and in one
instance, after effecting a sale of Coal' with a Strive
to burn it, the purchaser returned Stove, Coal arid
all, declaring thi4 it would not bora. After con
siderable exertion they prevailed on the School
Board to introduce it into the Public Schools of
the city as fuel last winter, and the following cer
tificate of the cost of Coal in comparison with the
cost of Wood as al fuel, was furnished to the Com
pany by the Clerk of the Board of Education:
' AN ESTIMATE of the &Name:lire expetts . ,e of coal and wood

M. LIBROWNE, Clerk/bard Educatim.
Syracuse, fib. 4 .13111, 1355.
Those who threnton to substitute Wood as a fuel
when Coal happens to be high in price, like many
other articles of - cimsumption, wouldn't gain much
by the experiment, oven if Wood wore low in
price, which is not the case now, and must, froin
its scarcity, continuo to Increase in value.

adoption of the Reciprocity Treaty. A correspon
dent writing to the Boston .I'5W sup:
"From present indications there will be.no de
tention the comingieason fur the want of coal; and
vessels may be chartered with a certainty of re
ceiving dispatch; as I learn from the very best au
thority that not lois than fifty thousand chaidrons
will bo placed on the banks by the time navigation
opens, and thni the supply wiltbe kept up during
the season. The demand - for coal I presume wilt
be much greater than any former year, as the duty
is removed from Nova Scotia Coal and retained
by your Government on all other foreign coal."

LEtast.Arat Paocknitn:s:os.—There
'a great defect in reporting Legislative pro-.
ceedings. The locationS of corporations are
but seldom given; and: companies are fre
quentlylincorporqfdyiitiout the people being
aware Of it. Thiii.ought to be remedied. In
this manner t-_number of rascally bills have
been passed, fetally,nukhown to the people in
whose midst they have been located. We ob
serve a Bill reported fore he incorporation of
a Semi-Anthracite.Coal Company. Can any
person inform is of its
_locaiion? It seems
that almost every ether, bill reported in the
Legislature is a suriplennt to some Coal or
Iron CoMpany, in this State, to obtain privi
leges for their neighbors..
Sie'MA!NE LAW IN Nv YoRK...--Tle New
York correspondent of the Phila. Ledger, un
der date of 24d; writes.;
There is hardly a doubt now that the Maine li
quor law, in its most stringent shape, will plus
the Senate as well as the Assembly; and 04,44 will
receive The siinature or the: Governor, of course,
there is no 'doubt. Such Is the tenor orprivato
letters received form Albany to-day, and the effect
among the liquor interest here."id consequence, I
need hardly akid. is very marked. All along, the
general ezpeetation has becu that the Lill would
Le killed. •
The truth is, the liquor interests arc quak
ing everywhere, non•-allays. We have seen
symptoms of it closer ,at home than New
York, lately.'
iiirSOEND THE ALAnit.—The rush of new
Banks and other Corporations through the
Legislature is awful. The principal Inisiness
of the Legislature appears to be entirely neg
lected, atytmembers voth , for all sorts of hills
to aid eachother's measures.
- The Governor only, it seems, can put a stop
to thit4 .species of LegiShation.' Every new
,Bank Bill not absolutely:required ought to be
vetoed. The people Will ! sustain the Gover
nor; while the reeklesS•legislators will be
overwhelmed. The .11"oik4 American truly re
, .
marks :
"Charters are granted with an apparent reck
lessness mid immoderation which have not in a
very great while been equalled in this State. The
work seems to he carried mi,in a most extravagant
manner.. • Corporations aro made- by wholesale. A
bitch of them are instituted:at a single session.—
This thing is growiug frightful, and we cannot
pretend to tell where it will pnd. It is causing, at.
all eventS, here, and doubtless in other sections of
the Commonwealth, +Friona, alarm, and we should
be faithless to our duty as the exponents of public
sentiment iu all cases where; as in the present, it
is general and notorious, if we did nut renew our
deprecation of the dangerous course which our rep
resentativea are matting." • • • •
"While it is seen that a charter may be obtained
for the mere asking, withon; any scrupulous con
scientiousness as to the character of the corpora
lion to be created, every half dozen or more per
sons, who are disposed to practice imposition upon
;the public under the guise. -And with the facilities
of a chartered body, will beicontinually applying
for such privileges, until the State will be crowd_
cdwith paper money factriaies, and flooded with
an utterly worthless and spurious curioney. Tho
pernicious consequences, of s condition of affairs
like that may be readily forlieen."
