The buildings are lofty, substantial and capicious, The machinery by Mesurt. Heaton & Co. of Birming- ham appears to be of first class description and in every way muitable.

object to Captain Clayson having charge of the documents, and was subsequently employe under Captain Clayson's order, and not in ans sense, so far as could be seen, under the defendant's orders. Then in the beginning of April last year, Captain Clayson, owing to -he 1th, hed to go away, and the duties of how fire devolved temporarily upon Mr Morgan, and in the course of those duties, f Teason which need not be mentioned, on the 18th Aprillist he discharged the plaintiff. From the fact of these documents, not being forth coming, it was suggested that the plaintiff and a right of personal action against Mr. Morgan, and the question of contract being discarded, the only possible ground was that of a personal tort. It was suggested, in the first place, that when Mr. missioner he should have taken possession of oil decuments. It had been shown that he handed these documents to Captain Clayson, and that le did not know what became of them after waids, and he stated that he knew of no rule in the Chinese service for the retention of these documents. It seemed to him (his Lord- ship) that Mr. Morgan had no reason to know that these documents were in Captain Claysons possession, and even if they were he had every reason to believe that they were there by consent of the plaintiff. He did not acce, therefore, that was any legal duty on the part of Mr. Morgan to demand these papers of Captain Clayson, Then it was suggested that apart from the question of personal liability agalust Mr. Morgan, there was an official liability as Coast Guard Commissioner, that because his predecessor * In office received these documents he should have returned them. If these documents were received by his predecessor and should have been returned and his going away prevented their return, and *if there was any neglect it was on the part of someone else, andthere was certainly no evidence to show that there was any personal neglect on the part of Mr. Morgan, nor could it be seen how there was any devolution of liability on Mt. Morgan as his successor. He thought, therefore, upon both grounds, the application of Mr. Pollock must fail, and he agreed entirely with the decision given by of the learned puisse judge.
Mr. Justice Wise said be entirely concurred in the decision of the Acting Chief Justice. With regard to the argumenta produced then, they were not the same as put forward at the trial, but he did not look upon them as being such as should reverse the previous decision.
A VISIT TO THE CANTON MINT.
(HY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) Having heard so much lately about the "meeting of the waters" in the vicinity of the Mint, I took the opportunity on Tuesday when. father Sol was less refulgent than usual to pay it a visit and ascertain really if the "Sweet Vale of Avoca" was likely to be out-rivalled, 'and at the anme time gratify my curiosity se the capababilities and prospects of this latest foreign Introduction of the Viceroy's. Herewith the result of my peregrinations. Firstly all romance or paesy in connection with the spot is quickly and +ffectually dis elled upon nearing the localily by the unsightliness and unsavouriness of its approaches, either by land or by water. Taking advantage of the height of the water at this season, I proceeded by boat; and after descending the main river, as far as the "French Fally" turned into a narrow cannl which skirts the south east corner of the city wall and runs alongside the wall for acdistuum of admit, two miles right upto the gate of the Mint. The establishment is Mbuilt upon a level ieriangular piece of ground in the vicinity of the Eastern gate, - walled' in, and covers an men of ah ut 15 acres, ten of which are necnpist by commodíous one-storied brick buildings of the usual foreign factory type, The machine and workshop form the sides of the quadran, ie, the engine, rolling, and annealing bulding, nocunving the centre.

I had not the pleasure of meeting, Mr. Wyon on the day of my visit, bui Mr. Taai-Sih-Yung. the Viceroy's amiable secrets, and a Directo of the Institution, the with a host of afficials, who appeared much interested in the appeal to all those entitled to wear decorative distinctions for service to Her Majesty: fr if one's memory is not deceptive, from the Crimean war downwards a these absurd symbols of rewards. fer simply doing one's duty, to the State have been designed by a gentleman of that name. Pride ourselves as we may upon our British conservative principles, perhaps in the national objection to parade such childish baubles is to be discerned the true democratic foundation of Anglo-Saxon opinion! It is only hybrids! like our good friend Belly joss, (who likes to be known as a species of decorative monarch), to whom we commend the purchase of the Mint plant when it "bursts up," as it most certainly will do in the next few months. Look at Charles George Gordon! He was entitled to cover both breasts with such meretricious symbols of a soldier's duty But where is there a picture of the Khartoum hero with a single decoration exhibited upon his tunic. The fact is, republican simplicity in this respect, construe it as we may, appeals to the senses of all right-minded Englishmen, and exhibits their disinclination to follow the con." tinental custom in regard to decorations.
It would have been as well if the Chinese had found a site on a somewhat higher level: for during the recent rains the Mint was under water, and I conclude the difficulties of com. munication gave rise to the unfounded report of an accident having occurred there. in addition to the copper-cash presses, there are four presses for coining silver coinage, and a few specimen dollars and subsidiary coins have been struck off for the especial benefit of the. Viceroy and officials. The inevitable Dragon, coiled up in an impossible position even for such a mythical creature, forms the design on the front of the piece; on the reverse, in Chinese, is the description of the coin and the year it was minted; while encircling this is also a like description in English.
OUT OF COAL.
It is now forty years or, more since a steam. ship, leaving the port of New York, was caught in a gale which created some anxiety for ber safety. A short time after the gale the ship was ́seen coming up the Bay of New York with the cabalistic letters "O. K. chalked on her wheel- houses-for these were the days of paddle-wheel, steamers. The signification of the letters meant
"Out of Coal." The ocean Aleamers of that day burned about four times as much goal as steamships of the same tonnage would now burn. This particular ship would have had her passage to Liverpool prolonged four or five days by reason of the gale. During that time so | much coal had been "consumed that it was not considered prudent to proceed on the voyage without a fresh supply.
The Royal Statistical Society of Great Britain his been collecting figures about the enal resources of that kingdom. The conclusion is reached, from the data codecred, that coal-fir féls of England will be workest out in just about a hundred years, at the present ratë.”-l consump tion. What is Great Brain to do when her conl-fields are exhauste??? According to recrist evvimater, the anthracite cojd fields of Pennsyl- vania will last about twice as long as thres of
of one and a half p us of copter to one of zinc. | England. For the most part, anthraque erit is "The first pr«cert d'un «ists ma's melting this metal | used in all the manufietones of the Northu to

ocean voyages. Occasionally soft or bituminous coal is used. The resources of the 1 tter in tivis country are practically exu, ustinle.
It is worthy of note, that dip to this time no considerable body of arthracite cal' has 'cen found in this country outside of Pennsylvania. There have been many rumors of the finding of extensive anthracite' enul dejasīts in v. TIOUS paris of the country. Bat lule of importance has thus far resulted from these reported disco. veries. There is some anthracite coal in Mexico, and it is claimed that there is some in the Rocky Mountains. But it is doubtful if a cart-load of anthracite has ever been brought to this city from any deposits this side of the Rocky Moun. tains, Bituminous coal in this country is beyond any present means of exhaustion. It is used on steamers for short voyages, and for steam pur. poses on the land. Every gas company drawa its suppiles from bituminous coal-fields,
What is to be the motive-power of the future 7 Great Britalo has maintained her ascendancy through the use of coal to drive her ships and her great manufactories. The coal-fields of all Europe at the present rate of consumption are hardly good for more than one hundred years, Bitaminous coal is turned into coke, and is used in that way for the melting of metals.

These slabe are hested in a ved best in furnaces, and passed four tears through top pad boitom grooved rolle weg them out in strips of the above width, about to feet in length," and 1/16′′ is thickness. The strips are then taken to mufflers or anneling furnaces, and passed through finishing rollers, finsly forming strips of the requeira" thickness; the ends of these are then compel square, and taken to automatic stamping machines, which at one operation stamps out four discs, each with square holes, The fall into a receptacle, from which they are conveyed to a revolving perforated cylinder which retains the perfect and casts the defective ones aside for reinelting. The selected discs are then taken to another automatic sorting machine of a alill greatly degree of refinement and undergo a further discriminative process. These (compara 'tively) perfe ́t disce are then placed in covered cast iron pots and heated in the annealing for naces and then placed in revolving drum filled with grain busks, and polished. After this they undergo the final process, and are taken to the automatic stamping presses, where they receive their impression and become current coin. It is in this final process where the cost of the manufacture of this peculiar coin is apparent, through Chinese prejudice insisting upon square hole. The ataimping machines, of which there are 85 in the establishment, only about 40 of which are at present at work, are capable of turning out at least 100 coins a minute ; but as a matter of fact, owing to the complication of the equare hole in a round coin, they turn out about 60, or one a second, and out of these 60 actually finished pleces, a large proportion are spoiled by either the square being imperfect or the "embossment round the hole being on the "skew." So that it really takes more trouble and expense to make one copper cash, say the six thousandth part of a sovereign, than it does to make a single sovereign. This in itself will enable some idea to be formed as to the possibility of the copper casti Mint becoming a success. But to go further, it is as easy to demonstrate, (as your paper has shown from the first inception of the scheme), the absolute impossibility of it becoming a paying Institution for copper cash production. Take the cost of the metal to begin with; and here it must be understood that an interior class of metal would neither stand the process or suit the requirements of the Chinese, who require a coin capable of extraordinary rough bandling throughout the interior. The lowest average price of old Muniz metal is $15 per pleul or is centa percatly. Now 1,000 cash weighs 8f cattles, By what means will the steamships that are and an unprecedented low exchange equals one plying on all the waters of the globe and the dollar. So that the actual intrinsic value of the locomotives that are multiplied by the thousand metal to manufacture 31 worth of copper yearly be driven fifty years hence? Ericsson, cash, without calculating cost of manufacture just before his death, believed that he had made. in the process, is about $1.37. Coke, which the great discovery of his life in the storage of heat
While the consumption of coal on steamships is hardly more than one-fourth as much for an indicated horse power as it was forty years ago, there are now more than twenty steamships on the ocean for one that was afloat then. It will probably turn out to be the fact that four or five warships and 140 lives were lost at Samon because those ships were out of coal, or had so little that it was not considered expedient to keep fires in the furnaces. There was no con. siderable supply on shore, and after long voyage these ships were compelled to economize their motive power. There were cold furnaces and inert engines.
The moders war-abip, especially the heavy Ironclad, is not rigged for making any headway under canvas. All the great war fleets of the world are consuming the best coal that can be found. The ratio of consumption is increasing rapidly all over the world. Locomotives no longer burn wood, save in a few isolated instances. It is estimated that the Southern Pacific Rail. way system consumes daily 2,000 tons of coal. Nearly the whole of this is procured from with. out the State. Not less than ten thousand miles. of railroad are annually constructed in this country, every new mile of which is to be operated by steam, generated by the use of coal.
34 supplied with illuminating oil made chiefly from the crude pet lewa' found in these vasi subterraneaudeposits. What is to come after coal? Every wu-ship of any importance is driven to-day by steam, and is well nigh helpless as soon as thecoal-bunke sarecxhausted. These great ship are multiplying with amazing rapidity. The
and their effectiveness now depends largely upon speed.. Ericsson hoped to cleaw from the sun all the motive power for the use of the world. A thousand electricians and more are at work to devise some means of driving all the engines on the land and on the sea by electricity, It is certain that they are able to report progress, while they are still a long way from the solution this great problem. If the supremacy of nations at no very remote time is to depend upon some other motor than that furnished by the use of coal, it is not a wonder that the question has already assumed such practical importance as it never had before.-San Francisco Bulletin.
