We have received by the steamship Fanny, a letter from our Vera Crus correspondent, dated the 13th inst., in which ho says that an extraordinary. express was des patched that morning, at 4 o'clock, by the En glish consul to overtake Gen.

O'U cor respondent presumes that something very im portant must havtt been despatched, for the re gular English courier, the. be,t ex pre-man in the world, was expecting to go up the following day upon the arrival, then expected, of the Eu glisb steamship. .

Having just lesrned that the army of General Scot! had com menced its march, It might have been fhe de sign of the British consul, to delay it by some meana to give time Par coca to go up.

His fellow journeymen tsnpht him tn teart and wr', nd to keep accounts, lie removed to Vermont, became a farmer, married,, and his Wife completed the education' thst hia fellow journey men began. , , Silas, his son, was one of! a family of nine children., nearly all of whom are farmers snd farmers' wives, residing in Vermont. In his ynulh, he. I ike most, of the rising youth in New Eoslund, attended . the common schools in winter, and worked on the term in summer, until he had passed his four teenth year, when he was placed at an acade my, that he might be prepared to enter college. In Aumist, 11 1; young Silas became a student of the college at Middlrbwry, Vermont, where he remained until ihnstunrrerol 1815, when he received the first degree of Bachelor of Arts. In January, 1819, Mr. Wright completed hia preparatory legal studies, snd was' licensed to prsclice ss sn attorney of th Supreme Court of New York. In October following he remo ved to Canton, in the county of St. I jwrence, an opened an office. Hi superior talents, ad ded to the universal kindliness in his disposition snd msnners, soon made bim highly popular. In 1W0 he wss tiominsted and elected to Con press.' He wss comptroller of the StateofNew York while at Washington. In 1S32 he was elected U.S. Senator to sneered Mr. Marcy; was re-elected in 1837. ' After the close of the 27th session of Coogre, Mr. Wright was cal led to preside over the State of New York, and at the election of November, 1944, received the largest number of votes .ever cast ' in the State (or one individual. In 1910 he was succeeded by the preneht incumbent, tliivi Voii'ngj 'The Democratic Review speaks of his manner and character in the nations! councils,' aa follows.' ' "There' isMri all' the movements of Mr. Wright art air bt quietness and 'resolution, of modesty 'end mildness, 'which is generally found in a public speaker who feels an unshaken etHifidewee in his intellectual strength and in the justice of hi cause. When be rose, the opposition became profoundly attentive, because they knew that he puasesssd the entire confi dence of the Executive, and therefore that what ever revelations he might make were to be re garded ss authentic and conclusive. It waa evident, fn a few moments after he had risen, that he had prepared himself fully; snd that he would be able to present the truth with simpli city without hesitation or the least affectation. Whilht his adversaries had tpnki'n tu the throng within and without the Senate, the yoUng Sena tor spoke to it, and through it to the whole na tion. K've-i hts opponents confessed with ad miration the s-k ill snd Ingenuity of the speaker's logic, snd placed him st once in the very front rsnk of the friends of the administration, side by side with' the best and the foremost ; while many have been accustomed to assign him tho first place, as the administration 'leader' in the Senate, for weight,' soundness, discretion, and eloquence. Il will be asked if Mr. Wright la in orator. In the common sense of tho term, he la Wc have never known him exeited beyond hia usual level of cool eqnsnimity. He vlt,ver je. claims, he never addresses the pssVibns, nor at tempts to chsrm tho magintM jn with the fig ures or embellishments of thetoric. ltis voice is r.ot melodious, though after listening to it for a short timo, i becomes not tinplcssing. His enunciation it ,l0w, but distinct and fluent. The same accurate logical precision characteri zes hia language and his thoughts, tie is the most perfectly calm, methodical and logical '"poukcr that we f-aYc ever listened to. His r pinions arc habitually marked by moderation by a constant regard to the results of actual rx pet icnce.'ss well as Ihe dictate of an enlarged reason by a fixed' determination to be practi cal, at the same limo that he is givit.g scope to the broadest general views." . . . . . , , .. , ...

Charlea Miner, of Wi'kesUrre, in his published ac counts or his first eflurts, .in connection with .Mr. Cist, and nthet associates, relates some pleasant anecdotes. -, On the 0th tf August, 114, they started off their first ark from Mauch Chunk. (. 'In less lbs n 80 rods ftpm, the place ofstsHin, the ark struck on. a ledge, and broke a hole In her bow. The lads stripped them selves nearly naked, to stop the rush of water with their cjothea.". In six days, however, the ark reached philadelphis, with its 24 tons of eosl, which had by this time cost $14 a .too. "But," says Mr. Miner, 'we had tho gresten difficulty to overcome of inducing the public to use nor cosl, when brought to their doors." "We published handbills, in English and German, ststing the mode of burning the coo', cither In grates, Jn smiths' forges, or in stoves. Together we went to several bouses in the ci ty, snd prevailed on'the masters to allow us to kindle fires of anthracite in their grates, erected to burn Liverpool cosl. ' We attended at black smith's shops,, and pretailed upon some to alter the Too iron, so that they might burn the Le high coal; snd we were sometimes obliged to, bribe the journeyman to try the experiment, so sverse were they to learn tho use of a new sort of fuel."., . How like a fsblo nil tbis seems at the pre sent dsy! As we sit before our, coal fires and think of no other, how little do we realize that thirty 1 yesrs ago, Mr. M iner and , Mr. Cist wero trying the experiment of an anthracite fire at Wilkesbarre, apd . wondering whether they could not float an ark load of the coal to Phila delphia! "flow we are reckoning the coal trade in millions of tonal . . . ( In "the Schuylkill regions tho effort waa made a little earlier. . In 1814, Col. Geo. Shoe maker loaded nine wagons with coal at the place now knpwn as the Cer.treville Mines, and proceeded, to Philadelphia. "Much time wss spent by him in endeavoring to introduce il to notice, but all hia efforta proved unavailing. Those who deigned tq try.it, declared Col. Shoe- maker to be an importer for attempting to im pose atone on tbem for coal, and wereclamcrooa againat him. Not discouraged by the sneers cast npon him, he persisted ih the undertaking, and at Inst succeeded in disposing nf two loads, for the cost of transportation, and Ibe remaining sewn he gave to persons, who promised to try to use it, snd lost all tho coal and charges."
