There was another very large anjHenee at the Academy of Music last night, and the Othello of Mn Forrest wa-^ followed with unflagging interest from beginning to end. It is one of his very strongest and calls into activity more of his own idiosyncracies, perhaps, than any other part "he .plays. He is master Of all the emotion ana strength it demands, and his interpretation is characterized by that singular clearness and force of emphasis wluch di8tingai^1tM b^ld ^««6r on the American stage.

Just no,\v, when there is so much interest felt in thef plav of ''Hamlet,''' and so much discussion as to the relative merits of Mr. Booth and Mr. Fechter as personatgrs, of thejnelancholy Dane,.it-would be an excellent thing if Mr. Forrest would give us a reading of the principal scene* in the tragedy.. Mr. Forrest should not aet Hamlet—his appearance is altogether too foreign our ideal of the Danish prince—but of all men now on the stage, lie is the best reader of the soliliquies.— Fejv know .this, few perhaps will oelieve it but some knowledge of the subject emboldens'lis to aftsert it emphatically. If he could be persuaded to appear at Steinway Hall and give a reading of the play —something

we believe he has never

done—he would exemplify with great force the tjutli of some of our remarks in another paragraph. It would be an intellectual and- aelightful entertainment Mr. Forrest's conversational voice is uncoimnonlvsline, richvfull.,and,sympathetic and'there has been ho closer Shakesperiau student on the stage.

with any degree of

Fanl9,%6r displSfclaerilsdf the strata, by which the bed of coal is broken off abrupt hybrid the bed %eyond'eit her elevated or depressed several feet from the level on which the miner was tracing it, occur frequently in mouiitajrious ooijiit'rifes.

I^iowinff ,Ui general dip hf the* strata arid' Ylie Sur face level of the country, and the direc tion and distance from the outcrOp, of any particular bed of coal', the miner can say with a good degree of certainty, how far below the surface he will find that bed

Even the variations in thicknp."is of seam, and quality, o'f coal may be reduced to general rules," to which there will be found but few exceptions. For,example, the several coal beds are thickest^ near their eastern outcrop, andas.they dip un der the earih still deeper as they are traced westward they gradually grow thinner, while the coal becomes more solid and compact in' quality. At the'furnace of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company the bed reaches the surface,.and is worked by adrift entering it at "the foot of a hill It is here fully four feet thick,while at Bra nil, five miles west, it is scarcely three feet, and lies eighty feet below the surface.—*At the boring in Terre Haute, this bed was passed at the depth of three hundred feet, when it, showed a thickness of only two feet. The upper seam, worked near its eastern margin at Newburg, is fully eight feet thick, at Staunton, 3 miles west it is about six feet, and at Woodville, three mile^ further west, it is found more than one hundred feet below the surface with a thickness of about live feet.

That the coal bed at (^annelton on the Ohio river is identical with "the block coal of Brazil and Otter Creek, is now I believe, very generally admitted, though the quality of the'coal from thelse several beds differ very perceptibly. The Can nelton coal is more compact in its com ition, .and consequerit 1 ^wjj%vdth jn smokeithan Brazil fcafcl, 'tb character the resemblanceis very close

This brings us to the question so often asked: "What is the extent of the block coal bed in Indiana?" On geological principle^, I have often answered in general 'terms that it underlies the whole coalfield, amounting in gross to near-: ly eight thousand square, utiles, TJi: may be tpue in faqt, |mt practicaUv, is not, at present available over much more than one fourth of that territory—say two thousand square miles.— Dipping about twenty feet to the«aile» at a distance of twenty milesfrom the eastern margin of the field, the coal will be four hundred feet below the surface, if that surface has maintained a uniform level. Below this depth it could not probably, be mined with profit. This would give us a belt of block coal ^land extending from Williamisport on"tfie Wabash to Cannelton 5n the Ohio River, a distance of about one hundred and fifty miles. This belt, at twenty miles

We have a wholesale paper house in Indianapolis, that of Chandler & Co., which claims^ tq sgpply, trade on as good terms ai^ ahy house in the West.— And whether it be.a full line of wrap-ping-papersteji bags, or a stock Ol newSj bo8^jor $afllper^4|iey "&tfIbe' found here without going to the cities or other States. One speciality of this house is paper bags and Wrapping papers. The inconvenience^exj^eftenced in doing up many articles for trade has produced auiong. oujtm#phanta»*4ewtod for bags, already prepared. For several years past Mr. Chandler has been devoting much of his time to the meeting of this demand.— So prominent has he become in connec tiWsilWf^'Jh&stoiniaSof trade, that in many sections he is known as the "paperbag man." -These bagsy-together with his wrapping papers, he is prepared t9 supply to the trddein anyqu'ahties,either printed or unprinietl. Those desiring to have their brand or a'sampUcard setting forth their business, printed lipon them, need only to send him the matter they desire priut^y^ in}be'^U{Sjied These bags" are patented and are made by ma chinery. But as before stated, not only in paper bags and wrapping paper is Mr Chandler prepared to'supply pur trade.— His stock of news, book:and' flat papers, together1 with envelopes with which he is prepared to supply, dealers,jdeserves special mention^ These he claims to sell at wholesale prices/ Now, considering the saving ip freights', OMe will perceive at once the sulvantage of dealing with Mr, Chandler. And then again another ad vantage that the dealer has in buying with' this'honse is to be found in the saving of time in transmitting goods after they are ord^^l^l.iH^te,

width, will'give alti area 6f and square milesjgross. If we ma^e ff«$u this the liberal deduction of one-third for faults, and other difficulties in the way of profitable mining, we will• lutvej^maining, our former estimate of tfit (lionsand square miles of available .block eoilT-^ The average thickness of this. bed_ iffay be safely assumed to be Uu ee. /eet. It sometime reaches a thideness of fijrlfeiet. At three feet in thickness, we may answer the question: Ho»r much block coal have we? by saying 167,116,800 000 bushels! which would' be 'a block of Coat dne mile square and six thousand feet thick! But all this restrdn abasia oftheoryi. .1 propose, now, to say what /know on this subject. The most northerly poipt at wh^h I have seen Jthe block coal is near the forks of Pine Creek, in Warren county I saw it again about ithree miles soutfi ot tnaper, were all that were to be seen in Marshticld in the same county. In ^orc in. tiie. Fountairi county I saw it near Chlibbers burg, and alsoon the western njarginy. &ott*s Prai'rfcl In Parke counly I apw on Mill Creek/ near thfe north ltncOf'tl county, and at the Narrow of creek, on Little Raccoon,' neai'.jTjiicir'. and in various places on the rfdge' lie xeon the two Raccoon creeks. In Clay countv, at several points froto Otter creek to the" south line of the county, I have observed block coal. Irt Putnam county saw it at Barnet's two miles below, Reelsvilje, and at a point about two miles west of Cloverdate- In Owen dounty I saw it in the neighborhood of Cataract. In Greene connty I saw it at several places near Worthington, and on Sichjand creek east of Bloomfield. Between this and Cannelton I saw block.coal nearthe southwestern corner of Lawrence county, and tin the ea^t^rn line ,o^ Martin. At these points toioic, blpck oal can be found, substantially of. tlie same nality that is flow, in tne market from !lay connty, and T-fconfidently believe that it will be fpund at its proper horir eon throughout.the whole belt jfrom Pinp creek to CanneftcSr.
