Read a letter from W. Dunbar, Esq. Assistant Surgeon, 5th Irregular Cavalry, 



intimating the discovery of a coal bed in a village named Bullea, situated about 14 



miles to the south of Hazareebaug. 



"On the banks of the Suncherai, a small nullah," writes Dr. Dunbar, "running 

 into the Haharoo, I first saw the coal, in a bed about three feet in thickness, with a 

 gentle dip or inclination to the west. It was splintery, very black, lying below a 

 friable sandstone and alluvium containing konkur. The bed seemed to be of great 

 extent, and I have no doubt that any quantity of coal can be procured at this place.
