ing got at Union pit, at the depth of . 58 fa- 
thoms. This fhaft has been funk with great 
difficulty, to communicate with Chapel-Bank

fenfe of its vaft importance. From motives 
of refpect to the day, which produced an

beneficial to thoufands, as well as in compli-~ 
ment tothe fitter kingdom, which occafions 
fo great a confumption of the article, the next

rented with an avidity bordering on rivalthip.
