FRIHAY EVENING, .SEPT. U, 188a. 'Ibe Coul qucitluu A correspondent in anoiher part of today's paper I ikes exception to somen- maiks make by us recently ou the waste unending non-caking coal, asserting thnt ' slack " can be aud is used with as much profit, aa coal. We do Dot doubt the gentleman's experience in the mines of South Staffordshire, to which we purlieu Urlj alluded, but uo later tban the present year this very question came up in tbe Hoose of Commons for discussion, and lu this body as well us in the vurious periJSiekU of England, the general conclusion was that an enormous loss in non- raking coal was entailed every jenr in Knglaud because i's slack could only be nsed in particular cases anil by an additional outlay. Ou this subject wc have the following remarks from an etui nent scientific writer in the London Quarterly, "it the coal will not cake, then the whole at least of the fine slack may be utterly wasted. It may, it is true, be manufactured into coke, ufter having been ultimately mixed 6ilher with pitch, wheiher from wood or coal, or wiih a proportion of enking coal ; but an additional process like tbi) increases tbe cost of munufactnre, aud, except iu special cases, cannot be conducted with profit to long as coal slack is largely obtained, which needs no such preliminary treatment. •Or, it may be consumed in furnaces specially constructed for tbe purpose ; but manufacturers will not generally be induced to accept ii.tiwatiem of this kind whilo they can comrtmid an adequate supply ol coal at remunerative prices, iu a form adapted to furnaces In actual operation. It is certain ihat many millions of tons of coal alack are annually wasted, being for tba mosl part left in tbe pits. It is a grievous national loss, and the lim* may come when o#ing to tbe scarcity of coal, and ils consequent advance ln price, this slack, now regarded as worthless, will be sought out and applied with advantage.'' Such are the ideas entertained on the question by scientific men io England, and we see somewhat similar views put forward by practical colliers io letters to the London Timet. In one letter the writer says:—"In order to utilize the slack, the furnaces of steam-engines and maun'fac- tories should be constructed so as to burn in steam-engines of all kinds 'through-and through' coal, and in smelting furnaces, small. If furnaces can be constructed that will smelt copper with small coal, wbich prodjecs such iutense heat, why not construct the same class of fire, places for steam engines ? I have no hesitation iu asserting that fully one-half the coal comes down through the fire bars of the steamers without having been burut and done itjj duty"—and so on. We do not wish lo depreciate the character of our own coal, because so Tar it has been found lo be non-caking ; we merely desire to place all the fads in connection with coal before our readers. It is enough for ns to kuow that whatever may be the defects in the coal produced on the Island, they are small when compared to the defects of other coal raised along the «oost. The Nanaimo coal is without dispute better than any bitumen- ous coal on the Pacific ; but it is possible to find much bettor aud assert even a wider pre-eminence. If our correspondent has discovered or knows of the existence pf a caking coal on the Island he places us in a position still higher than we have hitherto occupied. It is, however, with this natural resource as with others. There is no hope of its deve'cipment so long as we are met by duties in onr only n.arkel. Let bnt our relations with the United States be changed so that the products of the Island can enter L'alifornian ports duty free, and as we have repeatedly observed, no country on the Pacifio will be more prosperous than Vancouver Island. Without this the time, energy, and money of the in- hai itauts nre merely thrown awny.

A correspondent of the London Timet, writing from Vienna, says : "According lo the surgeons, tbe wounds inflicted by them arc, in general, slignt. In fact, the medical men employed in the Vienna hospital! say that the great majority of their patients will loon |be fit tor active service again, ' as most of the woundi are mere flesh woundi.' It cannot be doubted Ihat the statement is correct, for the streets of the city and of tbe village! in tbe environs are now full of soldiers who'have one of their arms in a sling. An Italian veteran, who has had tbree wounds, told me that he would ratber bave half a dozen Pro si:,n ' pellets' in hii body than nne French conical' bullet."

RiPAias to Govbrsiiiint House — Owing to the defective coijtruction of the original " Castle Cary," by wbich ihe rain and damp of winter penetrated the roof and walls of tbe building, destroying the plaster and r. u- dering the dwelling uncomfortable, Governor Konnedy has, we understand, given orders for the necessary repairs to be effected, comprising a new roof on ihe old structure, with other minor improvements. These repairs have been contemplated for lome time.

One man is suppos d to be luorially injured ; one ludy hnd her eye torn out ; another bad her knees badly injured, and three had broken legs. A meeting of tbe stockholders of the California Steam Navigation Company was held on Saturday, when the proposition to increase the capital stock to $5,000,000 was voted down. Tlie Company, however, decided to reduco the par value of their shares to $100 eacli from 150—fheir present par value. The stock of $2,500,000 remaining as at preseut. A respectably dressed man, name unknown, jumped off Pueific street wharf to-dny. A bystundor look a skiff und sculled to the drowning man, reaching hi in just as he was sinking beneath the waters. He not only made no effort to help himself, but resisted the friendly aid that was offered him, and it was uot until a second boat had put off to his assistance, ond after a fcrious attempt to bile his rescuers that he was dragged into the skiff. As the man was apparently sober it is supposed that insanity wus the cause of this rash act. « odlUlilng.

BotTOI or tub Brum TittiroitAPH,—Sm : —In tli''article upon ci.al in your s%ue of Htalday last I find a tutement which need! correction : it rend-, thus : " The next delcrtp- li'.n of coal ll thnt tuaad lo South Suffurj- ihire and the Mid and Counties of England and cot aud. This Coal contain! a large proportion ot oxygen, but contain* more carhou that lignite, ll is, however, unprofitable fuel, as the slack, which mint of necessity abound in the production of all coil is w.tcled. The to:il do--8 not cake, in oilier words, the -nuil pieces of coal do not combine together and generate heat—if coal will cake, all tlie slack may be utilized by converting it into eoke 1 if it doe. not an immense quantity of cohI is wasted, and as a pound of -!.,< I. is capable of producing as much lo-at us a pound of the same coul in lumps, it naturally follow! that a seam of this deseriptio.1 of coul requires many facilities aud advan ages over the caking cod to make it pay." Now sir. this ttule- inent so far us Souih St»tToi'dil ire and Mid- hind Boon ies of Erglaud is concerned is incorrect ; the sleek being entirely used, and no pirt of the coal being WHsted—iu fact, the slack is now su eagerly sought after tlmt there is more difficulty In obtaining it than the targe coal. 1 am not quite sure that there is so great nu advantage in the "cokey" coal as you would wish your readers to believe . whut is the use to which it cun be applied that the slack of .South Stall'ii dshire OVIllOt be applied als ', and with equal ad- vantage. 1 know that the slack is now being convened imo coke for smelting inn ore. It is also used for heating und puddling furnaces, for glass liou-es, burning bricks, lime land, and has always been the only article in use in the district tor geuetating steam for ■team engines, Ac, ic.; and no part of it is wast d mure than is wasted in the working of the '• cakey" coal. Where then is the advantages of the latter over the forini i .' The importance of developing onr coal fields you do not, however, over estimate. Some ol" our coals n:ay no* he equal to the English or Pennsylvania coals but ask our ironfuunders here if they would not as soon work with our Queen Charlotte Isluud anthrucile as tbey woald with any other they can obtain here; then although our bituminous coal may not be tlie best in the world, it is unquestionably the best of the kind found ou the 1'acilic costs and although our Nanaimo coal is not " cakey," yet I know that such a :nal does exist here, having shown specimens of it to a g.ntlemun in this city ; but even the "slack" of the Nanaimo coals may he utilized; but we may not have smelling, heating or puddling furnaces, but there are still many other ways in which it may bc used with equal advantage, and the same may be said with regard to the many other seams of coal known to exist upon the Island none of which, as far as our knowledge of them extands at present, are inferior iu quality to -the Nauaiuio coal, and there is no doubt but those patties who hnve sufficient capital and enetgy to prosecute the working of our undeveloped coal mines, will in a lew years be considered as tho most " lucky" men of ihe day.
