[From the Mexican Axtraordimary, Deo. 81.)

If the United State ‘wishes justice done ber citizens she has but tonsk for | th ® proper manner, and at all thmos abe must preserve hai dignity which is due ber ‘ing THE COAL AND GOLD MINES OF MEXICO. (from the Mexican Extreord! , Deo. 81.) In our lasue of the 20th inat. we notioed the arrival at Vers Cruz of the pioneer party, under the charge of Mr. Kaward |. Plumb, which has boon despatched to this couo- try by the “Mexican Pacific Oo and Irom Mining aad Land Company,” of New York, for the purpose of oom. menoing operations under the valuavie coal and iron mia- ng privileges held by that company, We are happy to SnpoOUNCe the sate arrival of the party in this olty We learn from Mr. Plumb that on their way up the occasion ter! embraced to make ful! and carcfal barome Sioa) And topographics! obeervadons, the results of which confirm, in tho most entie‘acw opinion previovely entertained of the fay powtive cheapreee tracted from Vera throne whicd they m: \f , Some observa: een Pue via | bow most conclusively that the toua a8 bow selected \y way of the Lianos de Apam, has no competitor, but Bust take precedence over #!! others. by capitalise of large experience in tnislinein the Untied er “The object at present more immediately before the attention of this compaay,’”’ we from their proepeo tus, ‘1a We aappiying of coal tor the consumpiion of tt apeeee sare, Peotfic a juantity now consumed by only the eight steam. ers which arrive atand de from San Franci.co eaca Nicaragua lines of mat! ser- vice, and which pess cach voyage within sight of tne ‘mouth of the 7 is over 4,000 tons per month, and 8 procured by them as per pablished ruports at a cost of $24 and upwards per ton ‘Tove consumption of the entire Pacific coast, north and south of Panama, is probably about 125,000 tons per an num. ‘This covsumption will, however, be more than doabled by the eatablishment of the contem»laied steam lines to Austraha from Papeme, and to shangase Ohias, fron San Francisco, Indeed, the latter lino alone is to be composed of twelve’ steamships, eight of which are to be over four thonsand tons burthen cach, requirmg altogether a su; of not jess than 176, 000 tone per annum. To freight this quantity from the Atlantic coast or England would require « shipment of 400 \ops per ship by 487 ships each year, and atthe low freight of $10 per ton the arnaal freight money would ‘amount to $1,760,000, ‘The steam marine employed in the Pacific and upon the interior waters of California ts constantly recetving acecssions and will require larger sup lies. No obstacle exists to the mining of coal in Mexico, and its delivery at accerrible points on the Pacific at rates quite approximating to those now existing on the Atiantio side; but if @ saving upon the present cost of ten dollars per top cap be made, it will be a clear cash profit tothet wo Sen Francieoo steamship lires of over $40,000 per moni, or nearly balf # million of dollars per asnam. From these statements it will be seen thet the subject of procuring this supply of coal by mining it upon the Pa- cific coset is one of vast and apparent interest to the bu eines men of the commerctal cities of the United States to all in Jact who are in any way engaged or interested in the g10wing commerce upon the Pacidc. But it is also to Mezioo that this subject bas a manifest interest and importance For the vast amount of fuel now consumed upou the waters bordering ber western coast, enormous sums of money sre annually paid to Kngiacd and the United States, and for trapsporiation by their vessels. These payments should be made to Mexico—to enter- prises upon her own soil, and of interest to her own do mestic industry should these profits accrue. ‘This consumption take: place almost within sight of her coast. Sho bas en abundact eupply of the best of coal lying useless, neglected and anworked, She has @ nobie river upon which to transport it to an accessible port; or, if other localities are more desirable to work, can be constructed for its cheap and quick carriage. Surely these are too troportant considerations to allow the tubject longer to ve neglected. Aside from the direct profi: attending t's supply, how many acvantages would arise to otber interests from the establishment of extensive mining enterprises im local) ues now vodeveloped and almost uninbabdited, An industrious and valuable ciass of mic tng immigrants would be attracted thither—a native would be drawn to the looality—profitable employment would be siforded to them—to supply their wants would crea e an agricoltural indusiry—towns would be built up—lands improved, and entire districts rendered prosperous aud enterprising Such have been the results flowing from such establish- menta in the United States and England, and such bave uniformly been the results attendiag the working of new silver mining cistricts in Mexico. In the case of coal this prosp rity is more likely to be permanent. But it ts te the home consumption of Mexico, to the sup- ply of fuel necessary for her mises, as a means of motive power for macbinery, and for manufacturing purposes, where, es is almost universally the cate, water power cannot be obtained or relied upon, that thecompany look for the principal portion of their ultimate busiaces. Before this demand can be suppliei railroads must be constructed; but one of the first obstacles to their estab- iisbment is the immense cost of transporting the tron, hence the necessity for the erection of ironworks using mineral coal, and from which roads could be com mepoed which can only be met by firss developing the coal mines. ‘Hero we come, as in the first steps of avery industrial movement in Mexico, back to the first great wart—a supply of coal. is, it is the expectation of the company to be able to scoom piish something towards supp.ying, #0 far as the éfiorts of one association cu effect so great a result, and ibey believe thet the ground, having once been broken, this braoch of industry once oom that the greatest of the difficulties in the way of ite future de Jopemeat will have been removed, and that the mining of coal apd iron will take rank among the most importans of the mining interests of Mexico. Our exwact bas reached a greater length than we bad devigned, but the important objects of the enterprise merit a full statement. ‘We are not yet informed at what point the company will probably locate their works. They havo a largo snd valuable mineral Seid to select from, and they design to eubject ft to careful examivation before deciding upoa ibe points to be selected; but we trust at least one of taeir looations (we understand their mineral of twenty lesgues or 86,800 acres can diferent tracts it divided into five if destred,) will be made mear tho for with characteristic American theee highways of commerce, radiating tm every a thon from this great capttal, ap actual reality instead of the mere phantom ot hope which has been so long tn duged.
