- MEXICAN MINES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. .g i Audi alteram portent is a principle so just, that doubt not it will save me from the necessity of la d a pology, so usual with the Correspondents of Public Journals in addressing them ; and I set out with you. in defiance' of another practice, that I am an wo o e d party in the subject of discussion. Your p aper o { the 23d instant contains an extract of a letter, dated Paris, 18th December; in which snare observa tions are m ade on the Company for.working the Mexi ; can mi ne s, and no great delicacy observed with respect „„ the d ir ties engaged' in the undertaking. Now,- lam of s ortie slimes in this adventure; and as I hap. ne w be a man not possessing means in such abundance as to make it a matter of 'indifference to me whether I ~..e sa • it i n promising or Onjaromising affairs, I took x, me pains, hefo. e I bbceem at • holder, to make myself acqua i nt ed with the real nature of the case, the proba bility of success, and the character,. fur talents and in tegrity, of t he persons engaged in the manageinent of it. With. respect to the Parisian's observations, it wou ld, perhaps, hardly be worth while to refute them, were it not that the subject being new before the Bra csb p u blic, such statements (although to those who have examined the question in a much less attentive m anner than myself they would appear groundless) are calculated, with. persons not having the time or the dis position to elicit the truth, to pass current for facts and sound reasoning. The parisian, it may be presumed, does not know Mr. klarean, the projector of this undertaking, with whose name he thus takes liberties. If it were other wise, he would know a man of the highest respectabi lity in Mexico—of great practical knowledge in mines, of which he is an owner—an experienced metallurgist a ndlnineralogist—who, in addition to his local know ledge, has travelled through a great part of Europe for the purpose of combining with it an acquaintance with the principles and practice of the European mining sys tems; and who, oh his return to his native country, Was immediately selected, from his talent, respectability, and experience, to fill the important office of Minister of State for the Interior and Foreign Affairs ; the duties cbihich situation he continues to discharge, it is fairly "estimable, with credit to himself, and to the satisfac tion of the people whose atriirs he thus directs: and yet this is the man who is held forth by_your Correspon dent as the projector of a new South Sea bubble!— perhaps it is in that Gentleman's power to establish, sigh equal dearness—because, in pursuance of the sys tem which Mr Alanean has been perfecting for working the Mexican Mines, he has thought proper to associate with him some experienced chemists and metallurgists, and some of the first families of Mexico, largely inte resod in the Mines of that Country, (the Marquis del Apartado, and the other members of the family of Fa raga, of which he is the head, of whom further men tion is..needless to thOse at all' ciattainted with •Meaieo,) —Plat, therefore, he Folisi lie engaged upog, a %SW-- goose scheme ! . . . With such kind and disinterested advisers as your Parisian Correspondent, no one - certainly need be "based,* or to act so as to *entitle himself to'be called a ",fat" for his pains; and therefore, perhaps, those who are inclined to buy,Mexican Mine Shares, will, in otter t gwoi4-such a dilemma, do as I did—inquire irOthe subjeco:.- A " hoax," as I understand it, is some thiatraised without Nondation. Now, I think, in this indataking there is some foundation, however deep it may be necessary to dig ;—for, it *appears that within the last three centuries, during whith time the Spaniards- have-possessed :their-Colonies, America has famished to Europe the tri .ing sum of more than *thousand four hundred millions of dollars, or nearly ituloeimadred millions of pounds sterling; and that at the early part of the present century, and just before the period when their independence was first declared, America was supplying the precious metals to Spain at the rate of up arils of forty millions of dollars per an- eve Of these Suing the supply from Mexico aloue, in the Otte centuries, has amounted to above two thousand aliont of dollars, or about four hundred and forty mil hos of pounds sterling; and the averageof twenty years receding 1803, was more than twentg millions OJ - dollars realm. a very large portion of which will find itsway into the pockets of John Bull,- in return for his manufactures, when, after a short breathing,time, to 'recover om the elects of their great struggle for independence, the Mexicans are enabled to renew, with effect, their more peaceable occupations. In order that I may not be charged with either pedantry or exaggeiation, in talking gulch large figures and distant objects, I am free to Wets that I borrowed my statements from the third volume of Humboldt's Political. Essay on New Spain, or Mexico. I have always understood this celebrated man lb be the best living authority on these subjects: add, &she tells us that the mines of Mexico will produce as much silver and gold for the next SOO years as they hare ever yielded at any neriod ;'and as - 1 .- ani patriot enough to think that with Br hist Capital and British Machinery, t hey will not be less advantageously worked than when under Spanish dominion, I have laid by a few shares for my children, in the full expectation that the ruture profits, and those at no great distance of . time, will enable-them NI *stiend . 'many g merry • Christmas. That you and four trader s may do the same, and that I ram live to join in them , is the wish of A SHAREHOLDER OF MEXICAN MINES.

THE TFIEATIZZE. --mi.-, DRURY-LANE. • A Paritdmiine of more than ordinary Spirit list dig& crowned the delights of the Christmas revellers. At a very early period of the evening the crowd assembled around t!te.pit and gallery doors, and when they were opened, the squeeze was dreadful. An endeavour was made to force the doors of the boxes, but these ,were properly guarded, and the assailants were forced to retire. The whole neighbourhood was a scene of active cons motion. Bow•street officers--Ladies who thought them selves ill-treated—and dandies, whose pockets were rendered just as light as their heads—were shaken to gether in most delectable confusion. The play was June Shore, and it went off very heavily. Those who are waiting for mirth and fun will not listen with much patience patience to the passion of Alicia, a 'character well per formed by Mrs. Bohm, nor. to the winnings • of Jane Shore, however softly delivered by Mrs. W. ‘VEsT. The Tragedy over, all were anxious for Harlequin and the Hying Chest, the new grand pantomime. As a splendid pictorial exhibition, it has great merit. A ruined mer chant is by chance introduced to a great necromancer; the latter has been fortunate enough to form a magic chest, which leaves Pacolet's wooden horse far be hind ; and in this clest the young Gentleman hies him to his unknown fair one, wooes her, and, after a quan tum milficit of misery, in the shape . o f marries her. In tho course of the piece, scenery of all kinds, and dresses of every description,. are displayed. Sartre of the scenery was highly splendid ; in particular; the Diorama, in which an admirable and correct view of Plymouth Breakwater was introduced, cnmmeacing with:the quarrtes at Oreston, and in its progress exhi biting the .Catwater and the entrance to Hooe—some men of war at anchor in Plymouth Sound—a storm, and vessel in dist(ess off the Mew-stone— an ladiaroan on shore near Ram-head, ~and concluding with a strik ing view of Plymouth, with Mount Batten, from Turn chapel. This scene was loudly and most deservedly ap plauded. It is quite equal to anything we have seen for years on the stage, not excepting even the celebrated panoramic sketch of the Kiogs departure for Edin burgh. There was also a very 'splendid scene of the Palace of the Hundred Gates, in which there was a procession after the style of the Cataract. The scenery generally gave satisfaction, and to a less critical audi ence than that which is usually assembled at Christmas, it would have given pleasure. Now 'come we to the performers.—A pretty little ilit,"itlViss S. SMITH, played the laborious part of ColuM*o.. She danced gracefully ; and gave very considerable . istbof of future excellence. HOWELL was an active Hiideg*ln : his leaps were bold, and executed with as - maiii`faliO as precision. BLANCHARD'S Pantaloon was good! *He deserves thanks for his new mode of dressing the cha racter. The ancient 44 slippered pantaloon" had grown stale. His " spectacle on nose, and pouch on side," bad become common. BLANCHARD has inadebim " a gay creature:of - the element"—a perfect peacock—a being all feathers and flutter—in short, a very amusing low!. PAULO is a clever and amusing Clown : the happiest part of his performance last night was, where, as an auctioneer, he knocks down a celebrated topaz vase, and afterwards a picture by a great artist of " Finchley," a 5 the Foothill sale. The pantomime went off with much'edat, and was announced fur re petition amidst the cheers of the audience. COVENT. G A R DEN. This Theatre, as well as Drury-lane, commenced its holiday performance, last night with Jane Shure. After the Tragedy, accpr ding to custom, a new comic Panto mime, called. Harlequin and Me House that Jack Built, was produced. ,It is a complete hit, rather contrary to , expectation, without Mr. GRIMALDI ; but we hope, nevertheless, that Mr.-Gammas secession is not to be considered final. The opening of the Pantomime turns upon a provision, real or supposed, in our Forest Laws, that if a man build a house upon common land between sun-set and sun-rise, and have a fire kindled, a chimney smoking, a beast feeding, &c. within the time, such _dwelling he shall hold free of all demand for rent : and this feat Jack, Me Miller (Mr. ELLAR) proposes to ac complish for the love of Mrs. \TIDY. The serious intro duction displays some pretty scenery, but the" business" of it is not highly effective. Jack is foiled in building his cottage, and consequently runs some hazard of losing his mistress. Squire Sap (Mr. Ducnow) ar rives upon. a shooting pony, and brings a plum-pud ding as a present to the father of the young Lady— a temptation difficult to resist at this time of the gear. The parish priest, for such a suitor, can do no less than , put in his good word. Jack, without any ally but a fine Newfoundland dog; unless we include cat (not alive) which tattler a rat very much to the satisfaction of the audience ; at length seeks assistance from the village conjuror, Poor. Robin; and a Lady, flying down amid a profusion of cloud and ciitharine-wheel, changes the miller into Harlequin; Mr. Duceow into the Mock , Lover; Mrs. VEDY into Columbine; and Mr. Gat- MALDI, Jun. into the Clown. The comic business of the pantomime then, commences, a great deal of which is very adroit ; and the scenery surpasses even what. we are accustomed to find at this Theatre. The skimming of the moonshine over the lake, in the scene at . Pcor Robin's cave, is an imitation of the effect produced in the Diorama ; it is vastly inferior, as may be supposed, but the attempt is ingenious. The Hyde-park-corner scene, covered with snow ; the plug, fltc. drassin, with water running, - is good; and in the change to St.James's-park, with the Canal and fluckingham-house in the distance, an exhibition is introduced of the newly-contrived skates which were shewn souse time back at the Fives Come, which run.uptin wheels, And consequently Amy be used indifferently upon any smooth surface as well as upon ice. The whole of this scene obtains very great applause. A Dirge square of painted oil-cloth represents the surface of the canal, upon which persons ate seen skating with infinite dexterity. In the midst of the volt the ice breaks, and the skaters and spectators find their way into the water together, and the ceremony concludes by Harlequins bringing up au aquatic giant, who giadu ally enlarge himself, from a stature of some five, feet to the full !height of the Theatre. There are several other points about the Pantomime, in which the comic arrangement is ingenious.. A kitchen, seen down the area from the outside of the house, in alrich the Clown, After descending through the coal-hole.. pays his. ad dresses to the cook---.the ins We. of the same mansion, with his amorous despair, and subsequent shouting him. self in the looking-glass —teradendhall-mat kct at. Christmas, produced at a. touch of ,the wand—aed the , civic feast in Guildhall, were given with estraertlivary celerity and splendour, and' broken. up.. by the *canal coming .of Go and Magog,. two, figures .of twelee feet high, contrived. upon the %ARA piipc i ple as those shevin some years.hack )0. Harleqatix Gullicer.—. Bat the granl effoit of the wholo-rece, which 'realli a very Curious oite, Ascent of 'hi balloon from Vatithall, and its journerto Paris. The back scene descending as the ropes of the balloon are cot,•prodirees entirely the sensation that the audience, as well as the machine, are rising; and in this way a moping pano rama (in_bird's-eye view) is presented--1-first, of the city of London, the river, and the:suburbs—next, .of the line of country bearing towards the coast—then the sea. vaith the moon rising—paysage of the balloon through clouds, r4in, &c. and last, its arriving over the coast of France, hanging for a time above Paris, and 'descending in the gardens(ilhsminated) o f the Tuilleries. The whole etting ep.of this scene—which, takes up several minutes in es hibition—Joes the highest credit to the invention and liberality of the House; and there can be no.doubt that the pantomime, generally, will bring money. A. It is the best dancing Harlequin upon the stage ; and Mr. DUCROW is comical as the Lover. Mrs. VEDY, though not a first-rate dancer, has a bold shewy figure, which goes some way towards a Columbine: young GRIMALDI is. better than we.inticipated. He is not like his father ; for GRIMALDI, pere, has the soul of a comic actor. Apart from all twisting and tumbling, there was so much intelligence aboqt everything he did: it was as good as the performance land not unlike it) of ELLIS-, TON, or Luron. So demure, such an absence of effort, such an evident entering always into the joke I if he only drew a cork, it was a commenta r y uponthe face of ! some one of our acquaintance—if he took physic, the moment he poured it out, we...were sure it was salts—if 'he took up a red-hot poker to anybody,- we never could interfere, though it had Seen to save our own father— and ,wltin he stole apples, we really doubted whether common honesty was not a kind of prejudice. Without being equal to his father just yet, Mr. GRIMALDI, jun., however, spews a great . deal of cleverness; and his at tempt may -be considered as decidedly a successful one. He has great activity, and some humour. Tolerably light o f f:finger, and uncommonly light of foot; and is 'as good a cloth as.any now upon the stage ; and if he takes pains, n4-avoids breaking his neck,,we see no rea son why he'should not be as great a man as his father. SURREY THEATRE. The manager of this theatre has not been behind his competitors in endeavouring to provide amusement for his holiday visitorsphaving produced no fewer than three new pieces last , night. The first of these was a panto. mime called FoxAnd•Geete, or Harlequin the White King of Chess. The tric.k were not numerous, but some of the scenery was verwetty, particularly a view of the cliffs at Margate, and .aisatber of a rocky pass.. The pantomime was received with great approbation. The pieces which followed ars epitomes of two well-known dramas—namely, Lovers Quarrel! and Alin: Ctvsar. Both were received With considerable approbation. OLYMPIC ItHIATRE. No houie tan be withobt the attraction of a Panto mime at Christmas. The newl-larleirinade of . Han !egotist's Christmas-bon; or, the London Appre n tices; was produced. Some of :the scenery it -good, and much of the machinery in the pantomime highly ingenious. ADELPHI THEATRE.. The performances here last night commenced with the everlasting burletta of Tom and Jerry. A new Pantomime followed, entitled Doctor Faustus and the Black Dasoii, or Harlequin and the Seven Fairies of the Grotto. It is founded on the well-known tale of " The Dev,il apd Dr. Faustus.;" and, so far as the introductory part goes, is sufficiently interesting. It has the advan tages of some pretty scenery ; and of a lively Clown and Columbine in Mr. KIRBY and Mrs. SERLPS. A beautiful panoramic view of the British fleet under Lord Flernouth, bombarding, the town of Algieis, is well executed, and was warmly applauded. The whole closed with an alle gvFical• representation of Neptune crowning Britannia with victory. The house WAs crowded to excess. CIIVIVERSITY and CLERICALMTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, imacemstrt 26.
