The necessity of send ing reinforcements !to the seat of war is urgently presented. A bill had beeni read a second time in the House of Lords, to enlist a German and a Swiss IWion, and in the House of Commons a bill bad been introduced and received two readings to send the militia regiments abroad to the colonies and on other garrison duty. The thanks of Parliament had been voted to th army and nayy for their bravery in tbe Nothing is yet said of a national loan.

Pennsylvania has three Anthracite Coal dis tricts ; the Southern, or Nfchuylkill coal field, which is about 70 miles Ionfe, andhas an ave rage width of 2 miles; the middle or Mohany coalfield, with a length of about 50 miles and breadth of 4 miles ; the Wyoming valley coal field, with a length of 60 miles and breadth less than two miles The coal seams range nearly East and West, and the last and the most pro fitable seams vary from 4 to 7 feet in width, and some of tbe best are vertical. Tor transporting the coal of these three fields to market, she has constructed 623 miles of ca nals, at a cost of$22,000f310, and 463 miles of Railroad, at a cost of $17,282,634, making in all 10S6 miles of Canals and Railroads, which cost in the aggregate $39,282,941 dollars. The Deep River coal field is about as long and wide as the middle Anthracite district of Penn sylvania, and although- there is less coal in it, yet it is worth morejjer (on; one sella ia market from $5 to $6 60 per ton; the other will command from $12 to $14 per ton. With regard to the importance of the Coal Trade, MeCulloch says : "It is hardly possible to exaggerate the advantage of the Coal Trade to England ; her Coalmines are the foundation of her manufacturing and commercial prospe rity. ,? Dr. Buckland says that theamountof work done through the instrumentality of coal and steam is supposed to be equivalent to that effected by between 3 and 400,000,000 millions of meny direct labor."

The farm is situated in a healthy an pleasant country, and in a wealthy aud intelligent neighborhood Upon the ftm there is an f xcel lent and well finished dwelling house, containing eight or ten rooms, and every nefeessary and con venient out houses, the subscriber having gone to considerable expense in fitting up aad improving the place, expecrng at the time to mike it his home for life. The tract contains about 330 acres of low ejrounds, valuable, because crops are sel dom if ever injured by freshets ; a large portion of the remainder is in its original growth hickory dog wood &c The soil is well adapted to the cultivation ot corn, wheat, toaoco and cotton and is susceptible of the highest state of impror ment. The subscriber has taken some pains to improve his isjad. by tlUbig snd-Hiertn& tit er tilixers. The owner of this farm has not only the facilities afford! by the waters of the Roanoke, but the Railroads are so convenient that he can with ease breakfast at home and dine in Raleigh. Petersburg, or Norfolk. In addition, he has the convenience of a large manufacturing mill in half a mile of his residence. A portion of the upland has been highly manured and seeded in wheat and winter oats ; another portion has upon it a good clover The subscriber is very anxious to sell his farm, and will do so for the sum of 1,000 dollars, and adow the purchaser five years if he desires it. ' An enrgetic and industrious man with fifteen hands could pay for it in a shorter pe riod from the product ofthe farm alone. The subscriber for a fair price would sail tj the purchaser ten or fifteen hands fyounz man and women. Dunn the sessson of the Legislature, ad Ire33 me at Raleigh, N. C. JOHN B. BYNUM.
