Scfnn/lkill Coal.— A writer in tht New York States- 

 11 ncciiumends the Schuylkill or Siisquehanuah Coal 

 I ful>stitutc for (he Livtrpool Coal. He says, in 

 1st nice, that two tons of tlie Liverpool coal are re- 

 ijireJ to produce as much heat as is afforded by one 

 1 of the Schuylkill coal ; and that the latter can be 

 brdcd at about half the price of the former. Three 

 ;Iars, according to this writer will go as far in pur- 

 sing fuel, if laid out in Schuylkill coal, as eight dol- 

 s applied to the purchase of Liverpool coal. We 

 not pretend to vouch for the accuracy of this wri- 

 s calculations, but the subject is worth the attention 

 the economist.
