- ■ TN 4 ire .4 w ti of ■ d AMERICAN MINES. —am— TB! PRESENT OPERATIONS, AND FUTURE PROS- PECTS, OF THE MEXICAN MINE ASSOCIATIONS, ANALYSED, &o.—By Sir WILLIAN Rawson. The permanent pertnanent regeneration of South America, and the intense and increasing interest which it obtains, not in Itgland only, but throughout the whole Continent of Europe. make "the present operations and future prospects of the Mexican Mine Asaociations" a subject with which we are all more or less desirous to be acquainted, since they May be expected, at no distant day, to produce results of the first importance to the wealth and prosperity of Gent Britain. Our intercourse with the New World seems destined, as it were, to build anew the fabric of our com mercial greatness as a nation, on a foundation more sound sad secure than ever. We are at length come to our senses on the subject oP Joint-Stock Companies ; their beneficial influence in giving *mew spur to industry, and of opening up lucrative branches of commerce which individual espitalists Muld never enter upon, is now generally acknow ledged, and the sound policy and enlightened foresight of the leading members of his Majesty's Government, have at length brought round the most prejudiced to their liberal opinions; and the generous and enterprising spirit of British-, capitalists will now run its course with perfect freedom. Sir William Rawson places his subject before the pub lic in the clearest light ; his' reasoning is sound, and is brought powerfully forward in aid of his conclusions. - Joint Stock Companies are buieddal where a larger /aphid nod more extensive credit are remind tbawladividwels am liwohit. 'they are useful also in opening DOW ChllllloOk fer eaminerr of een gram magnitude, and where Me tisk Is moutiods* undertake. althOugh, when opened, thermal be tell haillflei:l 41; p . then to great advantsge. But they aredeeidedl w directed to objects fairly within the reach dela MI of individuals. adds..... Assuming these mambos to by correct, it will be Joint Stock Companies are peculiarly applicable as lIIIWIIIINW eamatencee of the New World. It would be ilium, pe r persons could be found in this, or any other counteg e to attune. the vast amonet of capital required, for ore- 1 thlty its numerous iind valuable mina ; while , from in usametency of the inhabitants themselves to 4440 dwrita, the alternative is presented to us, either to INA those great and inm advantages srtant whiehlr. . and I trust successfully. to delineate, (that is, until the .'ew Ise created capital for itself, at all times, and in all tounlizioa, a very slow process.) or by our supplying it to think OWN at ante secure to ourselves, those advantages which alu sIO be elleinsd through the machinery of Joint Stock CesugsafeL • Joint Stock Companies, established fer drrelles”..m, are en tirely exempt from the well.founded °bipeds"; "Nob biros been. urged against their indiscriminate adoption in this oebblr, ; to which, besides, being too auto created for selfish purposes they bequently do much harm, by overwhelming, with their boy com mand of caoitai, the honest and industrious tradesman!, and by tending to create mischievous monopolies. They aise bp owing vexatious competitions ultimately end in the injury and tiescopebet. went of all parties concerned, without affording adequate bindle to the public. Nene', then, it is contended, that those Joint Stock Ompanies, whose objects are calculated so materially to benefit our we coos. ty, as well as the inhabitants of the New States, are bath patriotic end praiseworthy; consequently, entitled to the protection and countenance of the Legislature, instead of the indiseriminaupag abuse and obloquy with which they have heft assailed by parties, who, it not better informed upon the suhiect, ought so to haw best,, before they endeavoured dogmatic:by 40 contravene the public judgment. The protection which these Joint Stock Companies require from eke Legislature, appears to is the ibelishment of the penal emetmerits contained in con is of the Ain George I. and in the exemption of liability,lbeyond *wee subscribed fee b e We shareholders.

'indeed, so many upon this head have of late teen given by the highest law atilinei eats, it cannot be doubted but that the public are mufficiendyeee their guard not to be misled in future. The writer here very ably introduces, in the followini remarks, several points highly deserving the considered's.* of all persons whose concerns connect thews with wheaten* is practically important in commercial speculations. Another view of the operation of these Stock Companies will be found deserving attention. From the great surplus capital of the country, aid the low rate of interest to be obtained in the public funds, much capital is annually exported to foreign countries. ‘i'e have use choice to invest this 'surplus capital in Continental loans, or to manumit it to the New World, either in leans, or through Mining, and other Joint Stuck Companies. In the first ease, we lend oer cepitalio countries that have been for ages our political enemies, and our commercial rivals ; thus, with English money enabling them to lessen the amount of their national obligations. and to carry into effect their public works and undertakings, by which means they may the more successfully bempete with our manufacturers-ln time of peace, and be better prepared to contend with us in the event of war. In the latter case, we assist young and grateful countries to emerge from the state of ignorance and slavery to which they have been hitherto kept, by the barbarous and cruel policy of their tyrant !nesters—countries, between which and Great Britain there is, and ever must be, a na tural alliance, since it is equally for the interests of both. Br sup plying them with capital to re-establish their mining and general industry, we also thereby contribute to the prosperity of nations of friends, who. in turn, will benefit our commercial interests, ex actly, in proportion as they themselves become flourishing and ailOPptiOtle. The disadvantageous manner in which the Continental loans are pot out of the country alic•deserves notice. I believe the amount ' of these loans has invariably been transmitted in bullion, which, by causing the Bank to narrow its issues, and by turning the ex change against Great Britain, not only (as at the present moment) lowers the English . undo, but very materially tends to lessen the general commercial transactions of the country. ' It is very different with the South American loans, the largest port of which has been expended in this country in ships, clothing, military equipments, stores, Ate. thereby contributing in no incen. alterable degree, to the increase of English industry and prosperity, instead of the curtailment of both. This has been more particu larly the case with the Mining Associations, whose chief outlay of capital consists in English machinery. A remarkable instance of this has recently occurred ; the Real del Monte Company having sent off, at one time, 1,200 tons of machinery. If we view the question as it concerns the individual Interests of the capitalist, the argunieut applies still more strongly in favour of the New World,- not only as it regards the security for the capital advanced, but the remuneration for such advance. Capitalists in vesting their money in the loans of the Continental governments, lend it to countries whose amount of debt, compared with their national revenues and resources, is infinitely greater than in the New States, where the debts incurred are trifling in the extreme, as compared with their natural resources. They also subject their capital to confiscation, at the commencement of every European war—to Continental national banknipteies—and to kingly fraud and swindling. And should they fortunately escape these mester evils, still, upon the niece rumour of war, the Continental fords are sure to experience the mart ruinous, depressions while in the erect of its actually taking place, English capital becomes Immedi ately Licked try, and the capitalists can.neither get principal nor interest, during the continuance of the war, however protracted such war may be. But no such apprehensions are to be entertained in regard to capital rent to the New World. The idea of war occurring be tween Great Britain and the New States of America ter centuries to come, is perfeetly absurd; while from their possessing Repre sentative, instead of Absolute Governments, even supposing It possible Mere should be such war, we should have no reason to feu those ruinous consequences entrain to result front Continental hostilities ; and it is expressly .ptipulated, and indeed incorporated in the formula of the Mexican bends (as I believe, in the obliga tions of the other'New Statai) that the interest upon their bonds shall be paid with equal regularity during war as during peace. Now, with regard to the security for English capital embarked In mining and other commercial enterprises to the New 11'0M, they will necessarily receive the protection of this Government, equally with English capital in every other putt uf the globe, where British Ministers and Consuls are sent. The new Governments are also fully aware of the importance of preserving good faith to wards foreigners, not merely es regards national character, now that they are admitted into the family of nations. but also from the avowed convicuon of their own inability, without the aid of foreign capital, to re-establish national or individual prosperity. ' We have additional security in the moral character and good fah already evinced by the Governments of - the New States, as manifested by the Colombian Government, in the strict observance of thefirnational engagements with individuals of this country, sqd the extraordinary, and, I believe, unprecedented generosity of the Mexican Government. in undertaking 41 repay the large amount of money belonging to individuals whlab had. been &pa sited in the Consoled° (a sort of Bank, managed by the vice-regal Government , and either fraudulently appropriated to their own uses by the spanianls, or carried off by them to Spain • also, another Wee sum belonging to innividuals, seized upon by the late Em. pens It•trbide ; tnus forming a striking contrast between the moral character of the Govetninents of the late Colonies, and that of the parent State. • We shall be induced, from the excellence of this . pamph. let, to return to it on • future day, when we shall have occasion to investigate, MOTO in detail, the very important tojr.cw which it embraces. The indcpendeuca of South :.+~. America, conducted as it has been throughout the whole of its progress, from its first efforts to its final consummation, Is an event without precedent in the annals of mankind. It lays open to the commerce of Great Britain an inter course the extent of which is indefinite, and the profit in calculable. It offers a market to• British goods, that twenty years ago the most sanguine prophets of our wealth and prosperily would not have ventured even to glance at. The mass of capital that is now annually flowing in this direc tion, and the new channels of consuptption that are daily opening to our machinery and manufactures, are such as to make it the duty of every Journal to draw the public attention strongly to it, as an unfailing market for our com modities of every kind, and which offers employment to British industry in every branch, in supplying a demand, the extent of which, in the growth of years, will abund antly realise the most ardent anticipations.

Confidential accounts from a respectable quarter in Chili have been received by a great commercial house in this city, which affirm that Commissioners had come front Chiloe, to wree with the Go vernmadt of Chili for the giving up of that Island. The Echo qj the Andes, No. 22, contains an official Address to die Congress, dated Santiago, 22.1 February, and the account of what passed in the Congress in consequence. All shows the critical situation in which Chili now is. The Address states, that two men had attempted in the night to assassinate the Deputies Don Joaquin) Cempino and Don Bernardo Vera, but were fortunately prevented, and their persone secured. On examination before a Mogistrate, it appeared that Don Jose dregorio Argomendo, a Deputy, was one of the authors of this plot, as well as of various assonymeua inflammatory papers which have been chi:mimed In the country. The Government could not hesitate iroarreseing him. The Congress resolved to appoint a Committee of its Members to investigate this affair. The subsequent debates were remarkable; the Deputy Csmpeno proposing that the Congress should be dis solved, and a Committee of the Deputies appointed in its place. This proposal led to violent disputes and speechea, full of per sonalities. Some Alemtocre retired, and it was resolved that the Congress should remain. The suppers of the motion alleged that the Congress had done nothing to the three months that it had been aseembled ; that It had paralysed the action of the Executive ; that there were factions in it ; and that from its bosom had proceeded the Circulars to the provinces, calling them to anarchy. The persons arrested are above sixteen in number, and the Go vernment is disposed to em ply all the rigour of the law. Order and tranquillity have net been violated. MARCH 30. The Chamber of Representatives of Mendoza had, after lung and luminous debates on the proceedings against the conspirators, au thorised the Government to suspend eight certain legal formalities, which hinder the conclusion of these trials with the celerity that their nature requires. The Government, it seems, anwillmg to to violate the securities which the laws give to citizens, even when accused of the greatest crimes, declines making use of the faculty thus given it. The Right Hon. John Becket, his Majesty's Judge Ad vocate, arrived yesterday morning at his house in Down ing -street, from Gainaborough, in Lincolnshire. Mr. J. M. Lloyd has announced his intention not to offer himself again as a candidate for New Shoreham. Mr. H. Howard (at present M.P. for Steyning, nephew to the . Duke of Norfolk), starts for the Borough ; and one of the present Members, Sir C. M. Burrell, will again offer him self at the general election. As we mentioned yesterday, Mr, ugden is also a candidate. We are happy to state, that the subscription which is in tended to be appropriated for the purchase of a service of plate to be presented to our much-respected and highly talented R presentative, the Right Honourable W. Hus kisson, now amounts to 3,oool—Liverpool Courier of Wednesday. Letters from Gibraltar, dated the end of last month, state that the Independent privateers are frequently seen from the Rock; they appear to meet with great success, several valuable prizes having been taken. A Spanish vessel can scarcely leave Gibraltar without immediately being in the hands of the Colombian and other privateers. The Mitifeville Gazette, of the 3d of May, announces the murder of the Indian Chief, General M'lntosh, and the Chief Cornetau. The news had been brought to the Governor of Georgia, by the General's son and five Chiefs of the nation, who had escaped the massacre. The murder was perpetrated on the Saturday preceding, by a large body of natives, about four hundred in number, who attacked she General in his own house, on the very day he was to have set off, at the head of a mission, to explore the country West of the Mississippi, for the future resi dence of the Indians. It is stated in the last. Brussels Papers, that in conse quence of the low price of corn in the Netherlands, a much greater quantity has been sown this year than usual. The Americans are rapidly extending their mackerel fishery, in which a large number of men are now employed. The Journals speak of the advantage of this trade as a nur sery for seamen.

The following is the official notice of the Board of Directors:-- " The Court of Directors propose that a dividend be declared at the ensuing General Court of Proprietors. of 4 per Cent. for the half -year ending at Midsummer next. They also propose that 1001. sterling per Cent. as a distribu tion of capital, be paid to the Proprietors, on the sums standing in their names respectively. on the shutting of the insister boobs and that the amount (which is to be taken out of the accumulated funded property of thwCarporation) be added td the warrants of the Mid summer dividend.

On Thursday the Presbytery came to the resolution of appointing a com mission to proceed shortly to Liverpool, and there investi gate the whole matter, consisting of Doctors M'Lean, Dewar, Rahlten, Messrs.

RECORDER'S COURT, DUBLIN, MONDAY, JusrE 13. Jolts Searrey, a young gentleman about 28 years old, of good connexions, very generally known and respected in this city, and holding a situation of considerable emolument in the Common Pleas ollikm, was put to the bar, and indicted for assaulting and des * .g. brX a ftweilbl ingoisalaj ad Louisa West, sod also for a similar *math The so much agitated as to be unable to make hi !sod Court, in reply so the usual question from the Clerk of tiarCvown of Guilty or Not Guilty, and it was stated by those near Urn that he subniitted. Mr. HAMILTON was about to address the Court, when Mr. Fix Lair submitted to his Lordship, that the offence having been set out in the indictment in every possible form that could embrace the offence with which the prisoner stood charged, and to all of which the unfortunate gentleman had pleaded guilty, without even a suggestion from his counsel in mitigation of punishment ; and as Mr. Hamilton, in addressing the Court, coutil offer nothing In the w.iy of statement or argument but what must go in-aggrava. tion, he (Mr. F.) trusted to the humanity of the Court, that it would uve the infliction of unnecessary pain to a heart and mind already oppressed with affliction. Mr. Haute:vox, upon the part of the prosecution, disclaimed any intention of seeking to obtain punishment or vengeance • but the peace, happiness, and feelings of a mother and her daughters had been outraged and deeply wounded; they were without II male relative in there house to protect them from monstrous insult and violent intrusion ; their only security was in the protection of the law and the fidelity of their servants; but the latter was found not to be pool against bribery. Mr. Hamilton complimented Mr. Finlay upon the judicious course he had advised for his client, and, after the candid avowal of his guilt, it was not his intention to say one word in aggravation ; but it was his great object, and a privi lege to which he was entitled, to lay before the Court an affidavit containing the particulars of the occurrences which had give:r rise to the prosecution, in order that the Court might afford that which ' the prosecurrix alone sought—protection for herself and family 1 from similar persecution. The Court should be apprised that the prisoner had forfeited his recognizance fur three hun.lred pounds, in which he was bound to keep the peace towards the prosecutrix and her family. The affidavit should be shown the prisoner, and an opportunity Abided hint in order In put in an answer. The prisoner observed, in reply, that he would not put in any answer. The COURT said, that as the informations upon which the pri soner had been committed were not sufficiently explicit, they would give Mr. Hamilton an opportunity to tile the affidavit required, and therefore ordered the prisoner to be remanded till Friday, when he is to be brought up for judgment. As the merits of the case were rot gone into, we could only lewd that the prisoner was some time since smitten by the charms of Miss West, cf Harcourt -street, a young lady of large fortune, aged about fifteen, and a ward of Chancery ; that he persevered butts suit so determinedly, notwithstanding the young lady's expressed aversion, that it was found necessary, not long since, to have him brought before the Police, and bound in his own and two other sa amities in the amount of three hundred pounds to keep the peace towards her and family; but such was the violence of hit attach ment, that he contrived, by golden arguments, to prevail on a maid. servant in Mrs. West's house to permit bim to secret himself in West's apartments, where he surprised her on her entrance, result was, his being *en into custody by the police.

R. BARRY, BROTHER OP TRII LtTE . J. BARRY, ESQ.. HISTORICAL. PAINTER. On Wednesday an Inquest Stai held at the Hare and Hounds, Buckridge-street, St. Gilt,',, before T. Srtaf.Jto, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. Redmond Barry, aged GE, who came to Lis death under the following distressing circumstances : The deceased's case excited considerable interest in consequence of ine respectability of his connexions, and it being reported that he had met with the most unfeding, treatment where he had recently lodged; fend that the want cf proper sustenance had &cm. lerated his death. It appeared that the deceased vac originally a man of wealth, moving in the first circle of society, but becoming connected with the sea, and being of a speculative disposition, lie was through un avoi,:able circumstanceadeprived of the best part of his propert He continued at sea, during which period he had been engaged is various battles, and had received many wound,' in the service of ha muntry. About six years ago, labile in the Western Islands, Ise was deprived of his sight by lightning, at which time he had ex. pended nearly the whole of hia property, and he and his wife were obliged to come to this country, in the bane of being assisted by the friends, & c. of his late brother, James Barry, EN., whose talents as an artist were held in high estimation. On his arrival his hopes were in some measure blafted--his brother dead, and no friend in the world of his own to assist him in his distressing situation, and rather than enter the workhouse he resolved to depend upon the ca sual charity of the public, and for some time obtained a scanty living through such means, generally taking his station in as obscure a Totes possible near St. Patrick's Chapel, in Sutton. street, Soho-square, when the auditory were about to leave. The unfortunate man when first he commenced this mode of living would frequently return home to his wife r 'most heart broken with grief, and cry over the miserable produce of an attempt, at which, under different circumstances he would feel himself degraded. During this period the deceased lodged with a man named Cabal, whom they contrived to pay for their lodgings at the mai of sixpence per night ; but the old gentleman being at tacked by illness determined on making application to the So. ditty of Arts and Sciences to relieve him from his pressing cal aneies, and from the following printed document found M his possession, it seems that some distinguished individuals connected with the Society, thought him a worthy object of charity, and /armed themselves Into a Committee to taise subscriptions for him, The deceased through this obtained a subscription of 401. which wee speedily expended on the payment of his debts, and supplying himself and wife with the necessaries of life, and ultimately be WAS as much embarrassed as ever, and was obliged to resort to his for. met means of support, living in a hover of the most miserable and filthy description, in Maynard -street, and actually etarviog; and. being weak, and afflicted by the infirmities of age, he at length was necessitated to avoid going into the streets, and his only dependence was through the medium of his wife's exertion'', who earned a shilling per day at army clothing out of which they were to pay sixpence a night for lodging. The deceased, during the last week, was obliged to keep to his bed, and his state demanding the atten tion of his wife, she was unable to attend to her work, and (those. quently they could rot pay the rent, which had run up 11 nights; and intender to support themselves, they were obliged to part with every little article that could bring them in a penny. In this dis tressing condition the landlord frequently applied fur his milt. On Friday last he entered their miserable garrat,while Mr. Barry lay on his bed ill, and threatened to turn him out of the house if he did not pay him ; and he called again on Saturday, and said, if he did not pay him his money he would put his old bones into prison." He (3lr. Barry) rose in fed, and slid, " For God's sake don't dis tress me; I'll try and get up to-morrow (Su !ay), and go to the chapel, when I hope to get something and pay you." The de ceased had no sooner uttered these word s than he was seized with violent trembling, as if frightened, and fell backwards, very much grieved, on his wretched bed, which was not deserving the name. After the landlord bad gore, the deceased said, •• That man will be the cause of my death;" and expressed his fear of going to prison. On Sunday morning the deceased got up, for the purpose of sitting near the Chapel, to get some money to psy the rent. Ida WAS very ill. On his return home he said he had taken his seat es the step of a door in Crown -street, Soho-square, where he got two shillings from the people coming out of chapel. He was very 111 and fatigued, and wished to have something to nourish him, which his wife procured out of the trifle, and had nothing worth giving th; landlord. A Mrs. Griffiths, of Buckridge-street, knowing the distressed donation of the poor things, sent word that they might have a loom in her house. While they were supporting him along, be ex pressed a hops that the landlord would not send him to pram. On their arrival at the house of Alra Griffiths, the deceased, on entering the apartment, seemed to be roused with in dignation at the manner in which he had been perplexed and insulted by the landlord, and was seized with a trembling similar to when he (the 'indite%) threatened to send him to prison ; on which he exclaimed, it.. May the curse of Jehovah fall on his cruel head." The words had just escaped his lips when he fell down on his knees, and instantly expiled. Mr. Burgess, the parish surgeon, was sent for, but it was to no purpose. The deceased, it appeared, was a very high.spirited man, and frequently the recollection of his former affluence and his present v " P) if ert tley wo k u n ki ew dri w v h e at hi L m w t a o s m , sdthenresws'oauniddihtoetwana;p(natnedn heard to a r rl at m ul e% o al t:ti l in ai g hen a 'ad" w eu or to kh bfe : e a w se g ixn uanr .;T a tih r : Y h rid c i i e l 4l i ci w . y ". reT t :am il s ,l h d : n s hn . n tan i t ill o : it ea e r b as li fo i mp l p / M ir i : em i t g n h i : c ; e o l t u i fh a n i e t t n for t e e ehe c in u ii i nat on da m ea g an e r of ac ina h : en to n i h y ' e s e : jcale pol P w Pae id nra o d w t6da , l w lin h po o reses s t as said to be very ill and in grief at the death of her husband, of whom she was affectionately fond, and her deans WAS very great.
