Section of two New Goal Pits near Newcastle. 



We are indebted to a friend for the following two useful Memoranda that have not before 

 been published. The first is a Section of two new Pits that have been opened near Newcastle ; 

 and the second, on the Strength of Iron Rails. 



Account of Strata passed through in the Lady Pit, Wingate Grange Col- 

 liery, to the shaft of the Main Coal seam ; and afterwards in the Lord Pit, 

 from the shaft of the Main Coal seam, to the Harvey Coal.
