No Person to be permitted to subscribe for more than Fifty Shares.. The BESORE' Tin and Copper Mine is near to Truro, in Cornwall; the works are already commenced, it has a fine stream of water for dressing Ores, and being situated near to a Shipping Port, considerable savings will take place in the Car linge of Coals, &c., and also in the shipping of its produce. A Licence will be granted by the Patentees for Calcining and Smelting; and the necessary works are now erecting for the purpose of Smelting, not only the Ore raised from this Mine, but that of others, to an extent of Country, to be agreed on by the'Directors and Patentees. The system of Mining has been long carried on in the County of Cornwall, different Companies have been formed for the raisin g of Ores of Tin, - Copper, Silver, Lead, &c., and for Smelting of Tin: The expences attendant on which, have, in really instances, been so great as to leave but little return to the Capitalists who have embarked in them ' • this has hitherto _beers principally occasioned by the heavy charge and expences of bunging Coal and Culm from Wales, and other places, and from this cause alone, Copper Ore has not been Smelted in Cornwall. A Discovery having been made, by which, not only a great Saving of Fuel, and Time, will take place, but a much larger produce of Metal will be obtained from the same quantity of dressed Ore, and, in its progress ; preserving all the volatile Matter, such as Zinc, Orpiment, Arsenic, &c. (hitherto lost), and experiments having been made in Cornwall, and in London, and proofs adduced of their correctness and value, His Ma jesty's Letters Patent have been obtained, and in the working under this Patent the volatile substances are preserved, and those not connected with Black Tin are collected in a condensed state, and when purified are of considerable value, and the Zinc being preserved, Brass may be manufactured; and the expe timents have proved, that a sufficient quantity of that valuable Yellow Paint so much sought after by Coach-makers, and others, may be obtained for general purposes. The Consumption of Coal by the Patent Process of calcining, is only one fourth of that used by the present system, and the work is completed in one-fourth the time, and that long sought desideratum of completely destroying all noxious vapours, and smok e , arising from the calcining and smelting of Tin, Copper, Le a d &c., which not only affects the health of the Workmen, but destroys all Vegetation within its range, is among the ad vantages derived by the Patent Process.

FOR TIT --" SUNDERLAND, 13th MAN, 1824. Mr. MilTott-1 beg leave, through the medium of your widely circulated Journal, to offer a few observations on the subject of the Bill now before Parliament, for regulating the loading of Ships with Coals at the port of Sunderland, in the county of Durham, in which I conceive the public is deeply interested. As far back as in the sixth year of the reign of his late Ma jesty, an Act of Parliament was passed for regulating the Coal Trade, by providing a fair and regular turn in the loading of coals for each vessel as it should arrive, intitled, " An Act to " regulate the Loading of Ships with Coals in the ports of New " castle and Sunderland," for a period ofseven years, which was found to be so benefici a l t o the trade as to be removed from time to time, until the year 17:17, when it was suffered to expire, and has, as regards the port of Sunderland, laid dormant from that time ; but about thirteen years afterwards the Ship-owners of New castle, finding the trade greatly inconvenienced from the want of it, applied to Parliament for its renewal at that port, which was obtained, and the Act has since been continued up to this time, and been found extremely advantageous, and has been again renewed in the present session. The Ship-owners and others interested in the trade of the port of Sunderland, having experienced similar Inconvenience as those connected with Newcastle, from the discontinuance of the Act, and seeing the advantages derived from the revival of it there, have caused the present Bill to be brought into the -House of Commons, which was read a second time previous to the recess, and is now about to go before a Committee. For a few years back some of the leading coal Fitters in Sunderland, about five in number, the. middlemen between the Coal-owner- and - Ship-owner, and ivho haVe exclusively the vending of the best coals-,- engroSsed the sale of them almost wholly to tltemselves, anil_ have also been the means of keeping up the prices of the inferior .sorts in the market beyond their real' valae, which is effeeted in the fol lowing manner. : , On : the arrival of -a -vehS:el, and the owner making application to a Fitter for a cargo of the best coals, he is refused talthoUgh a t th e tim:, the coals arc lying ready in his craft 1, unlesslie .will agree to take a cargo or two of the inferior coals afterwards at a price, which if he' does, he is nearly cer tain to lose as much by the sale of the inferior as he previously gained by the best coals.. On some occasions, as a matter of favour, he is Alten on toload i and at the time When the coals are about to be shipped, a vessel, belonging to the Fitter or some particular friend, havie'apPeared off the harbour, the loading is stopped and the coals lout on board the other vessel, which sails immetliattly, and the. Ship-Owner is prßhably de layed some weeks; and there - have been instat\ces where indi-. viduals have. been refused clads bj-Fittcra, rat the--ground that they were keeping them for ships thety9xpeeted,. when it - has been known at the time; that they were in the River. Thames half laden, and.the coals have remained 4n the keels for a fort night and three weeks,.thaughlmanyTersans would gladly have taken them to market. Those praetiees,,besitles the indiiiduid 'injury which is sus tabled by the ship-owner in hel l ig - de) rived of a fair and re. gular turn, cause also a serious Li s , to, g,he town, inasmuch as that strangers Who would come to die mace were they certain of their vessels being regul ar l y , _ j gac i a 4 4, - ; at Newcastle, and that they were not to be subject to the will &caprice of the Fitters, go past to that p ort only six nines distant. This conduct on the part of the Fitters it is submitted, view ing it as a monopoly only, and as affecting t h e s hi pping inte rest alone, is one which ought to be checked, but when it is con sidered to what an extent the evil may b 2 carried to the injury of the public, if the Fitters are permitted to retain so dangerous a power as th at of keeping back ol all occasion, when it may suit their intei•est, a supply of coals fiorn the markets, it is earneslY.tci be hop 2 d t h at t h e Legislature will see the propriety of placing a curb on those individuals, by passing the Bill. - _ • The conduct of the Fitters, or rather its effect is equally in which, perhaps, they are n o t aware ; h owever, t h at i s t h e i r extent, of the publi c, and if they submit to it, none ; ?i j ; tl; ic i ct o e t r i an s . o rrl t oo h t e tt C bta o ot a l of complain, -own ers, at least to an incredible except as the public are affected ..76try - , gOl • i t n untkinopplication to Parliament, it is evident the ni ,fferland are not seeking any exclusive pri ellge°fiwnforertshemselaih—all they are requesting is, that one of the great and staple briinches of the commerce of this country, and that from winch its Maritime greatness has chiefly arisen, namely the Coal Trade, should be drawn from the grasp of a few interested individuals, by whom it is engrossed and laid open to the public at large, who may thereby be enabled to claim a fair and regular turn in the loading of their ships as they arrive, and in the profits of the trade, and certain Patin and regular supply of coals which h measure will naturally produce. The in ferior e h r i ce(' o o exportedaprnduse:ceitiulics:natofPrilo rthe a rtiee i from Sunderland being, as has been be fore stated, kept up in price beyond their real value, by means of the best coals, and which the passing of the Bill would tend materially to check, the public beyond all doubt, are consi derably interested in the result of this application, as they cer tainly would be greatly benetitted by its success. For as in that case every Ship-owner- coining to the port would have the power of demanding a fair and regular turn of such coals as might suit him, the fitters who now force off the infe rior coals by, in a measure compelling the sale of them along with the best, at a price beyond their real value, being deprived of that power, those coals would soon sink to their proper level in the market. In every point of view it is conceived the applicants for the Bill are entitled to the consideration and support of Parliament: First, because the object of the Bill is to destroy an unfair and dangerous monopoly in a necessary article of life, which will require all the care and circumspection of the Legislature, to prevent, and to lay the same open to the public : Secondly, as it will be an encouragement to a great proport i on o f t h e Shipping Interest of the i country at present consid e r a bly de pressed ; and thirdly, as t will tend to the supplying of Coals to the public, at a lower rate than before they have been en abled to obtain them. And it is n o t cons id ere d t h at i n t hi s they are at all interfering with the t ra d e o f t h e Fi tter, b at on the contrary, that it is the interference of those persons with the trade of the Ship-owner, which has driven them to adopt the present course. In consequence of finding that they could engross to themselv es t h e pro fi ts ar i s i ng from the s a l e o f t h e b es t s ort of coals, certa i n o f t h e Fi tters h ave i h i a tt t e t r l s i e.asSlairipe-oswhinpe_roswansersa I ) : o 'vners, to the exclusion of suddenly b ecome a l so grea t sin I , midy (and c onsequent l y suc h o f t h e the trade generally, and all the Ship-owners are asking for is, t will have the same privilege), may be placed on an equal footing with respect to the loading of themships, while the Fitters in that capac i ty, keeping to their . own business, may con d u ct and enjoy the profits as they please, they only being r equired to aff or d a regular turn in the loadinf of every ship as it arrives. Under - all the c i rcu mstances above mentioned, and at the same time having in view the Act now passed for regulating the trade at. Newc as tle, only six miles di s t ant f rom S un d er l an d , it is hoped the Legislature will not withhold from the latter Port, a measure which has been deemed necessary for the former ; there being nothing in the relative situations of the twes places .to make the same applicable to the one and not to the other, nor can Sunderland, it is submitted, be less entitled to the care and protection of His Majesty's Government than Newcastle.--I am, Sir, •Your most obedient humble servant, AN ANTDICINOPOLIST. At a quarter before four o'clock, the Sneaker of the House of Commons, attended by several Meml)ers, appeared at their Lordships' bar, to hear the Royal .Assent given by Commis sion to the following Bills, viz.—The Bum Duties Repeal, the Sugar Bounties, the Exchequer Bills for Public Works, the Militia Pay, the Glass Duties, the Alien, the Innkeepers' Al lowance, the Marriage Act Amendment, tht British Museum, the Irish County Treasures, the Irish Proctors' Costs, the Irish Constabulary, and the Irish Records Bills. • The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl Of SELAFTESBURT, and liord ItEDESDALE.' GENERAL GAS LIGHT BILL. The . Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from the Proprietors of the Gas Light Company at Northampton, pray ing that the General Gas Light Bill 1114 Y not pass. into a law, The Noble Earl presented similar petitions from the Propre; tors of the'Gas Light Companiel of Glasgow and Leeds, and also from the inhabitants of Leeds; as did the Earl of Koss_ LPN, from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Liver pool, praying that the town, of Liverpool may be exempt from the operation of the Act—all of which were severally laid on the table. WELCH JUDICATURE. Lord CAWDOR postponed the motion of which he had given notice, relative to the Welch Judicature, until Monday next. INSURRECTION ACT-(IRELAND). The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that he rose in pursuance of the notice that he had given, to move for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the state of those districts in Ire land that were now under the operation of the Insurrection Act. A Committee for a similar purpose had been moved for and appointed by the other House of Parliament, and one great ob ject for the appointment of these Committees was to give in formation to Parliament on the important subject that they were to investigate. Their Lordships would recollect that 31i nisters had stated last year, that 'should the Insurrection Act be again called, for, they would give the fullest information re recall the state of the districts that required it. The Noble Earl .. then moved, that a Select Committee be appointed to in quire into the nature and extent of the disturbances in those districts in- Ireland that were under the operation of the In surrection Act. The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that it was a sa tisfaction.—a melancholy satisfaction indeed—to know that his Majesty's Ministers had at length consented to adopt some mode of inquiry into the state of the disturbances of Ireland, which they had been for so long a time anxious to escape from. By this means their Lordships would be enabled in some de gree to arrive at information that would enable them to judge upon what grounds that desperate measure, the In surrection Act, had been re.serted to. Now, after so many years delay, inquiry was sought for respecting that unfortu nate country, and from a quarter too that would pobably gain the assent of their Lordships. Even under those circum stances, and upon the terms proposed, it was a source of satis f4tion to him to have inquiry instituted ; although he could ni t entertain the hope that, in its present form, t would in clude that extensive investigation which would seek the root, of the evil, and which would give satisfaction either to the House or the country. The inquiry in question would not go to the real constitutional remedy ;' it would not . probe the wound to the bottom; it would only touch the surface of it. But his object in rising en the present occasion was more for the pur pose of asking if it were not expedient to inquire more gener ally into the evils that aftlict Ireland ? and whether their Lord ships were not bound to adopt a more comprehensive form of Words, and 'to 'institute a more extensive measure ? He felt this necessity_''so strongly, that he should be compelled, before he sat down; to move au amendment, founded on that opinion ; for, if it only extended to the districts alluded to, he contend ed that the inquiry would be inefficient; for neither the House, nor the (iovcrnreent need be told that there was but a shade of difference existing between the districts that were within, and those that were out of the pale of the operation of the In surrection Act; but a thin partition. was erected between; and many which wore now not under its influence have beoi and might be again subject to it. Unless their Lordships investi gated the whole question, and inquired into the state of every p a rt of Ireland, they would do but little. Would the Noble Earl (Liverpool) say that there was any part of Ireland where the Insurrection Act might not be in force next year? 'The Act, wherever it was applied, .tended to alienate the affec tions of the people, and to render their political state less healthy, and the conduct of Ministers, in confining their in quiry to the 'disturbed districts, reminded him of the course pursued by Eastern Monarchs when an inhabitant of the Harem should be so ill as to need the advice of an Euro pean physician. The baud only of the invalid is exposed to the view of the medical adviser, and the attendants tell him You can judge from of the hand ; you have the op portimity of knowing tiik:state of pulsation, and that is all suf ficient; without,"2 continued his Lordship., " considering that the state of th - e . countenance and various other symptoms were necessary to be ascertained before a physician can give a sound opinion as to the degree of danger attendant upon his patient's disorder." So it was with Ministers regarding Ire land; they looked only at the disturbed districts as their cri terion for judging of the whole of this most important question. If be agreed with the measure, it was upon the principle that light would come in upon them through this inquiry, and that the various ramifications that it might lead to, might ultimately develope the whole of the - circumstances that afflicted Ireland; but still a much longer time would be -required in developing them by this mode, than by a more - extensive inquiry. The Noble Marquis then moved as an amendment," That a Com mittee be appointed to inquire into the general condition of Ireland, and more particularly into the nature and extent of the disturbances in the districts under the operation of the In surrection Act." The Noble Marquis, in moving this amend ment, stated, that if their Lordships should adopt a more limit ed inquiry, be would support it; but upon the best considera tion he could give to the subject, he thought it would be in adequate to the purpose that it was intended for. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had not many observations to make on the speech of the Noble Marquis ; but in one or two instances he was wrong. He had stated that, at last, Ministers had instituted an inquiry, insinuating that the King's Govern ment had checked investigation. On that point he had only to refer their Lordships to the Table amd to the Statute-book, to show that Ministers had been ready on all occasions to adopt every measure that really had for its object the peace and pros perity of Ireland. He submitted to their Lordships that a ge neral inquiry was not definite enough. The nords of his mo tion only affected locality, for the Insurrection Act prevailed in various parts of Ireland, and his object was only to check in quiry where none was necessary. The Noble Marquis could not require words wider in the first instance than those which he had had the honour of submitting to their Lordships; for they embraced the meaning that an inquiry the most unlimited should be entered upon in those districts where the mischief was most crying; and to do more than this would not only be nugatory, but dangerous; for he would ask their Lordships if it would not be dangerous to institute inquiries into districts as quiet as any counties in England, which was the case with many parts of Ireland ? With a view to a sincere inquiry, he proposed to their Lordships to look . at those parts where the e vil was ino , :t crying, and sift the subject to its fullest extent, and his inquiry would embrace a wide field, for the Insurrection Act prevailed in many parts of Ireland. Under these circum stances, he would oppose the motion of the Noble Marquis. Lord KING believed the measure might do some good, but he wished it to be more extensive. It was not in the power of the Noble Earl opposite to go into a more general inquiry ; be cause if he did, the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack would say, " Don't touch my Orangemen, theie are good Pro testants." Every thing had been done by halves for Ireland. She was at first only half conq uere d ; th e Union, which was so much talked of, tended only to disunite the two countries ; the Tithe Composition Bill, that great panacea of last Session, had only distracted the country • and the Burial Bill of this Se ssion ? which was to assuage all the ill-humour that existed tbeltSroebelne Protestants and Catholics, only tended to increase it. 1 s Friend had talked of European physicians being feel the pulse of an inhabitant of a harem ; hut lie treated their skill Ministers too courteously if he intended to compar e icine.

G.AS' COMPANY BILL. On our re-admission below the bar ; . The Earl of SHAFTESBUILY moved, that the second reading of the United Gas Company Bill should be poStponeil indefinitely: The Earl of LAUDERDALE objected to that course. If the Noble Eard would fix any day for its second reading, he would then chew their Lordships the evil tendency of the mea snic ; but by withdrawing it, it convinced hingdohe promOters of it wished to sce how tar they could persuade the House to adapt it, and seeing they could not succeed, wished to With draw it.

REFORM IN PARLIAMENT. • The Sheriffs of the City of London appeared at the Bar of the • House, to present a petition from the L or d M a y or , 'Aldermen, and Common Council, praying for a Reform in Parliament. Mr. Alderman WOOD begged to be heard for a few rbi-: nutes : he said that the petition had been carried in the Com mon MB by a great majority ; the Members of the Common Council were elected annually, and their sentiments were known to be in favour of a reform of Parliament,antl it might therefore be urged that the City was favourable to a Reform, otherwise those Members would not be returned. The freeholders of the City of London were not represented at all in Parliament.— Indeed, it WWI impossible that only eight Members could suf.: ticiently represent the interests of London, Westminster, and. Southwark. Mr. Alderman SMITH said a few words, which were inau- , dible in the gallery. Mr. W. SiIITH remarked that he had had a great share in the petition that was presented to that House in the year 1792, in favour of Reform. The arguments used in that petition 'had never been answered. It might truly he -said, that whether the City of London was to be judged by *its property, its numbers, or its intelligence, that it was unre-• presented. The City certainly had a claim .6)r a larger re-. presentation._ Mr. T. WILSON' and Mr. All. 11Rinazs said a few words. Lord J. RUSSELL remarked, that he should certainly have brought forward the question of Reform during the present Session of Parliament, but that he thought a postponement of it till next Session would give it a more favourable chance of success. Sir R. WILSON thought that a Reform in Parliament Was the best means of destroying Ministerial influence, and for pre venting any abuse of power. Mr. A. TAYLOR presented a petition against the new Beer 13i11. Mr. MABERLY suggested the postponement of the Bill al together until the next Session of Parliament. Sir KNATCHBULL trusted that the observation' of the Hon. Member for Abingdon would have its weight with the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exch equer , as he concurred fully in it. 'I he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that as the question had been raised, he would take the opportunity of stating to the House the course that he thought it most desira ble to pursue. lie wes aware that there were many objections to the measure, but he bud such modifications respecting the scale of duties as he thought would give generaLsatisfacticrn: Therefore, in his opinion, it would be better to go into a Committee on the Bill that night, when he might state the alterations and amendments it was proposed to make in it; when it might be re-printed, and on Friday next they could go into . the. Bill itself. . • . Air. HUMS observed, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had deviated from his principles in not having had the Bill re ferred to a Committee in the first instance. • s. Alderman WOOD recommended the expediency of going into a CommitteCup stairs on the Bill. Ile thought, how:. ever, that a Committee up stairs was the only ayailable one' from which the Bill could be expected to derive amendment. Mr. 11. DRUMMOND said that there was one part of the Bill which at laast he hoped would be amended ; it was that by which it was proposed to raise the duty from two to four shillings on small beer. The effect of this rise in the duty would be to render this beverage, of necessary consumption in Scotland, so dear as not io be purchased by the lower orders of that country. He earnestly hoped that part of the Bill at least would be amended. Mr. MAIIERLV thought that the duty on malt should equally bear upon brewers and other persons, otherwise he would move that the bill be read again thatday six months. After a few words from Mr. EGEItTow . and Mr. HUMS, the petition was ordered to be laid on the table. • ith.lll. A. TA YLOR resented a petition from Cirencester against the County Courts Bill. In presenting this petition, he begged to express Iris unwillingness to occupy the time and attention of the House in enforcing it, but simply to lay the petition intrusted to him before the Legislature, and to defer the discussion on it until a motion., to which it related, was-re gularly before the House. b, was attended .Mr. - lIUME was desirous of expressing a d o iff f e a r c e c n o t m op p i a n n i y on .. from that laid down by the Hon.
