CoAf, —VV'o are now giving this Coal a

vuuiiy of Cb ttan siga, and the Company have a
dep-.i h-re, where they keep it on sale, and mostly
-upply our cr. mens and inanitfai'turers, we would
like to speak of i’ as we think its merits demand
But w are too little aoquainled with Coal teohni
oahti-s to do justice to it, and must therefore, only
venture to mention a few facts which our experi
ence and observation points cut.
Oje great desideratum in this fuel, is to have a
peipyof it at all nmss,sold cheap, and the market
not subject to barrenness or fluctuations, as is tae
case iu m iny mai k its where they have to depend
o.a ike rivers fi.r transportation from Coal fields.—

nary force ot circumstances can run them short of
Coal. From their facilities, they are enauleo to

W - find it to possess these qualities to a eminent
degree. When burning, it generates an intense,
regular heat. Indeed eo great is it, that in our
la no ffioe room, with cit y one ordinary eizeetcve,
we often have to throw open the door on the ooldeet
day.
Another good quality it posneeses is, that it burns
a long time, and loaves very few ashes remaining—
stliuo •; I t*-r illy burning up. Although not as quick
to ignite as some other ooals, yet withs little aind-
Jiug ind care, it soon to k tire. “'The mixed ooal

Secretary of tha Interior containing an abstract
shiwing the amount of money, for public and pri
vato purposes, expended ia the city of Washington
niece the location of the seat of government there.
Also, the annual report of the United States Trea
surer.
On motion of Mr. Alien, the Senate agreed to I
eieot the standing committees on Monday next.
Mr. Ward, of Texas, introduced ;; resolution

thorizes the Postmaster to contract for carrying the
mail for six years from St, Paul, Minnesota, to
Puget’s Sound", via Ports Benton aud Union in Ne
braska, nod through Washington Territory.
Tho Senate then adjotirued till Monday. f
’ HOUSE.
The IIou?e met at noon. Mr. Boyce, of South
Carolina, offered a resolution admitting Lt. Sylves
ter Howry, a delegate from Arizona, to the privi
leges of tue floor.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn., objected, on the ground that
Arizona we 8 at part of New Mexico, and he saw no
object in giving,that Territory two representatives
ou the floor.
The consideration of the case of Judge Watrous
was resumed.
Mr. Biliiughurst, of Wis , referred to the impor
tance of the subject upon which they w ere called to
act. The people could correct official misconduct
iu a President or a legislator, but a judge, holding
his office for life or during good behavior, could
only be reached by impeachment. A federal judge
wae charged here with conspiracy with League,
Lapßiey and other speculators to defraud parties o
land by false title papers—with having tried cases
in his court although disqualified by reason of per
sonal interest from sitting upon them—with far orit
ism towards counsel engaged in cases in which he
or his friends had interest, and with permitting im
proper practices upon the part of officers in his
court to go unrebuked. He now proceeded to re
view the evidence at length, and concluded by ex
pressing the opinion that the judge was guilty of the
charges preferred. He held that ho eat in judgment
on cases in which ho was interested, and charged
the jnry that the titles was good, which was a gros3
indecency, inasmuch as his judgment might be cited
before ihe Court in New Orleans.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, rfefe,rred to tho statement
of Mr. Bryau yesterday that he had in bis possession
a statement irom Mr. Austin that he had purchased
the three eleven-league grants of lands, and that
Samuel M. Williams had full power of attorney to
sell them. He desired Mr. Bryan to lay the state
ment before the House.
Mr. Bryan replied that this statement had been
sworn to by one whom no one could doubt, aud
when the proper time came he would use it.
Mr. Ready, of Tenn , from the judiciary commit
tee, said he had examined this sutj.ct with an anx
ious desire to arrive at the truth, and if Judge Wa
trous was guilty to bring him to trial before the pro
sier tribunal. He was disposed to screen no mau from
punishment just y due He called attention to the
charges brou ht against Judge Watrous, and show
ed that his oofleagues ou the judioiary committee
who framed his impeachment had abandoned the
allegations of the Spencer memorial. He denied
empaatically that there was any evideuco to sustain
the points n-Burned by those seeking the impeach
ment if ihe judge. lie went into an examination
of tne evidence in great detail.
Mr. Davis, of Md,, wished to know whether there
was any evidence to show that Judge Watrous was
engaged io a series of speculations with parties who
were litigants m his court 7
Mr. Ready replied that fliers was not a syllable
of evideuoe to show anything of the sort. On the
contrary, the only purchase of and in which he was
interested was that of the three eleven leigue
grants. He never had the money to make extern
sive land purchases; was a poor man now and bad
nev* r made a cent out of the speculation referred
to. He had been led into it by ether .parties, and
was informed by Lesgue, aud some of the first law
yers of Texas, that the title was indisputable. He
consequently could have had no idea that there
would be any litigation about the title before his
court, or any other court in Texas. He concluded
by insisting that nothing bad been proved of a dis
reputable ch -rao er against Judge \V.,aud that the
impeachment should be abandoned.
The Speaker sta’ed the question.
Mr Clark, of New-York, said fce wished to speak,
but preferred that some gentlemen favorable to the
impi a ‘hmeiit should precede him, but if the vote
was to be takeD to-day he would go ou.
Mr. Houston said he intended to ask for a vote
sometime to-morrow, and also move the previous
question upon a motion to terminate the debate at
some time agreeable to the House ; and then, the
resolution being reported, he would ask the privi
lege of closing the debate.
After some further convention, from which it ap
peared that a number of members desired to speak
on each side, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, moved that
when the House adjourn it adjourn until Monday 1
Upon this motion ‘he yeas anu nay? were ordered
and resulted ; yeas 81, nays 96. The motion va'3
lost.
Mr. Reagan, of Teles, said he was not fully pre
pared to go into the discussion now, but as the
House seemed to insist he would proceed.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, now renewed the mo
tion toaejourn, which was carried by yeas 81,nays
65, and the House accordingly adjourned.
From Jafan.—Ths following extracts from a
letter written by Mr. Harris, the enterprising Con.
eui General at Japan, to an officer of the Navy who
was in the Japan expedition, will be read with in
t rest;
U. S. Consulate General, -
Simoda, Japan. July 12,1858. )
Dear Sir ; Your letter of March 6, 1857, did not
reach me until the 20th of August last. The reason
l have not written you in reply betore this is that I
Lave had no opportunity of di-patching any letters
since the 11th of September, 1857 ; and am even
now quits ignorant ot the time I shall be able to for
ward you this. * “ * *
I have suffered much from ili health since my ar
rival here, wmch has almes; paralyzed my efforts in
collecting objects of naturhl history. lam now re
covering, and hope Six-n to be quite weli.
I have visited ihe city ot Yedo twice, and have
had au audience of the Emperor. I passed nearly
six moDtns in Yedo, durmg my two visits, and suc
ceeded at last in making a commercial treaty that
fu ly opens Japan to our enterprising citizens, and
brings Japan fairly into the great family ot nations, :
Os course I cannot give you tte particulars of the
treaty until it has been approved by gove-nment,
but 1 may be permitted to remaik that when the
treaty shall be published, it will show I was not lor
get™ of our navy.
Yedo is a large city of two story wooden build- :
ings. The streets are generally wide and well sew
ered, hut are Dot pa’ ed. It is probable that the :
population is between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 j
There is neither beau’y nor splendor to be found |
there The exterior of the houses is the same as j
those you saw at Simoda and Kanagawa. and s he |
interiors are quitfe as destiinte of furniture or orna- j
men*. Even the pa’ace ofthe Emperor is built i t
unpainted wood and is equally bare of any furnl- j
ture. The golden ooiumus and roofs spoken of by j
old writers, have vanished, if they ever existed, and !
I am assured by toe Japanese that their buildin. e I
and mode of living are precisely the same they have ‘
been for the last 500 years. * * -
I am, sir. yours most respec*fully,
Tcwssem) Harris, Consul General.”
Great Kcitement is a Methodist Church.—
Tt Tyler Reporter, of the 20th ult., has the fol
lowing :
On Saturday night last, white Bishop Pierce was
preaching at the Methodist church, the cry was
raised that the bouse was failing, end immediately
a “stampede” ensued, wuicn baffles detcriprion.
The utmost consternation prevailed, as every person
in the house made desperate struggles to reach the
place* of exit The cnurch was crowded toils ut
most capacity w.th ladies and gentlemen, and the
screams of the former and shouts of the latter were
enough to appal the stoutest. Pell-mell, overy each
others they rus :ed. in the mad panic—the stonier
crushing the weaker under foot, until the house
was c eared Windows were dashed 10 pieces to
iffori open mi.* for egress, and men, women and
ci ild en came through so promiscuously, so mix
ed up, that y.m nuldn't tii “t’other from which ’
A' soon as a , tai gamed the ope i air, it was dis
ci vered that the a arm was a false one, and that
ri danger whatever had existed. It is not known
what origins led the alarm. The eenrioes were

ptnta was ssriootlyiqjnred in the panic.

Cincinnati Hog and Provision Trade.— The
Cincinnati Price Current, of Wednesday, puts now
the number of Hogs received there this season at
231,142, against 137,810 for the same time last year
Tbe same paper says :
The speculative movement* in the hog and its
produets is unabated, and a further improvement
has been established in mess pork uud lard, the
former having been taken largely for future do
livery, at an advance of fully $1 per bbl. during tbs
week.
The Virginians are selling pork for March delive
ry, freely, and yesterday they could not find
takers on ’change at $lB for March, until a bull
who was at another point, was asked by telegraph
would he take-2,(100 bbis. mess tor March at $lB, aud
be replied “ yes.”
Lard is ia quiet demand at 11 cents on the spot,
and ill cents for future delivery. They did not
seem to be sharp aiter bulk meat; but, notwith
standing a good business has heen dune. Green
meats have been sold slowly during the week, part
ly owing to the bad wqather, and the market closing
dull at 5 aud 8 cents for shoulders and hams.
Hogs have arrived quite freely during the week,
but the short crop men are now looking confidently
for tho “ tapermg off,” though, for our part, we can
not perceive any indications of it. The sales during
the week add up 5,000 hsad, oloeing at $6 a 6 60 for
those averaging 140 to 180 lbs. ; $6 75@6 85 for
those averaging 2(0 lbs., and $7 al 20 for those
averaging 210®250 lbs. The market closes rather
tame.

a pleasure t3 shave with this cream. There is cone of
the smarting sensation usually experienced in the nse of
most soaps. On the contrary, it leaves the &k’n smooth
and ooft as an infant’s, aud not liable to become chapped.
JULES HAUEL’S ROSE TOOTH PA3TE.—Next
to the hair, we think the Teeth were intended as ihe
greatest ornament to t: e human fare; but when Big.

Rose Tooth Paste will impart to the teeth a peariy
whiteness, at.the same time keeping the gums firm ind
healthy.
