It is not, Perhaps,ve r y generally known, that the valuable Slate Qtualles4ai inerals which abound in a large portion of ales, .have been hitherto entirely neglected, or only very partially worked. Indeed, the mode in which Mining ope rations are conducted in this Principality, exhibits sufficient evidence of the Want Of skill or insufficiency of capital to work them. The appearance of a vein of Slate or Mineral either in duces a - few perStme, generally small tradesmen in the - vicinity; to agree to explore it in partnership ; ,or some individual with an incompetent eapitel to undertake it. For this purpose all adventurersin copper and lead ate divided into sixteen portions or ounces, and the - usual subscription to commence the working, seldom exceeds 50/, for each shareholder, who* looks to an im mediate return for the investment, and seldom consents to the profits (if any) of the works being devoted to their extension and improvement. This also, with reference to, Slate 'Quarries is the principal cause why at present, with the exception-of Iron Works (which it is not the intention of this Company to under. take) there are in a tract of country literally abounding with the most valuable Slate Mineral, very few conducted-on a scale promising adequate remuneration. To obtain an immediate and 'small profit, thi.capabilities ofthe Quarries and Milks are generally altogether sacrificed ; and if, at any future period, the shareholders in the adventure, or perhaps, sole proprietbrs • he induced to extend operation, they often find that all the Previous workings have only been detrimental to the property, and a serious obstacle to its improvement. ' This is more particularly the case with the Slate Quarries. — The immense demand for this article within a few years would, it might be supposed, have induced the investment of a large Capital; and the employment of competent talent in the Production.. But the contrary is the fact; audit appears from Personal inspection, and the, opinion of individuals well qua titled to pronounce on the subject, that with the Principality of North `Pales at this moment, only two proprietors conduct. this trade on their own, estates, to that advantage of which it is 29 completely susceptible. Not that other situations and other. Por tun i ties are wanting—not that the Slate is elsewhere of an; inferior quality, or more expensive in the prodUction ; for is • •found to be otherwise the ease in various parts of the Prin... -i PajitY, both as to quality of material and vicinity to a place uiPmnt. Yet notwithstanding these advantages, and the ; k i ng Period during which the trade has beensteadily increasing,. ,yiere are now lying in the, ports of Bangor, Caernarvon, and f rer nacioee many vessels from all parts of the kingdom, and I'il America, waiting for weeks to be loaded with'slate, which 'l . 4_ the exertions of,the presenepreFietors of the Quarries are i,liacient to produce in quantity to supply the demand.— b...," 3 7. . defiance. of the unprecedented prosperity of the 6 , 174 e, the capabilities of numerous situations . fbr Slate tear it is fair to. conclue, are altogether unknown to the great Majority of individuals resident in North Wales, and , et7rested in thi s d escr iption of property ; or they have been de ' 'lir by want of' capital from working them with energy.— co4sideration have induced the proprietors of this Com- - INITI to n s te nti sy more particular attention to that portion of its i . n. openitiens connected with Slate, than they otherwise . t i e u_ - ( c a have felt justified in doing; and they have now the se tiork to cRo v eanounce - to the Shareholders..that . they . have se tee.. ?I'd valuable Quarries, compactly situat . ed . various.ne it.3,73 the Principality. and particularly-at Testiniog, 31 Shire.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that if it were .worth while to go into a canvass of the nature of the petitions present: ed to their Lordships in favour of the Equitable Loan 13i11, and as to the manner in which they had been got up, it would be easy to piove that they were procured by means of the sub scribers to the Company throughout the, country ; and that there were many instances of persons being paid for signing , • twenty, tit thirty , or forty n ames to such petitions.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from the town of Liverpool against the Equitable Loan on the table. • On . Lord DaCRE rising to move the Order of the Day for the second•reading of the Equitable Loan Bill, The Earl of LA UDER LE said • there was an understand ing that, previous to the second reading of the Bill, the House should decide on the motion for hearing Counsel a:rainst the Bill at their Lordshipte•; bar ; he would therefore move that Counsel be n'ow called inand hea d. After some-observations front Lord DA C RE, the Earl of LAUDERDALE, and the Earl of TANKERVILLE, the question wasput. Lord •DACRE said he should oppose the motion for hearing Counsel'at the bar'against the Bill. .The principle of that Bill -was, that. a Company formed should be allowed to authorise. -their officers to enter into the business of pawnbrokers, and as every pawnbroker was obliged . by law to haVe his name over. his door, - to permit those officers so to place their namesinstead of the names of the whole company. He could not think their Lordships would be satisfied to have their time occupied in hearing argumentsof Counsel on so narrow and contracted a point. If It were aTerteral measure to authorise all Companies to sue and be• sued by: their officers, •it would certainly be ek .pedient-toltear legal arguments upon it but when the .prin ciple of thiS Bill was to allow persons to act as pawnbrokers in a manner the most beneficial to distressed persons, by adVatic ingmoney at the legal- interest of five per cent:, he could not concelve.that their Lordships would consent to have their time occupied by the learning which he understood would be.brought to their Lordships' bar. He would not regard the irregularities that might have occurred relative to the transfer of Shares, be cause those irregularities could not affect that body, which, he contended, was now promoting .an object of a nature the most beneficial and - advantageous to thecountry.• This body did-not assume to be a corporate body. In its origin,. its intention, as their Lordships knew, was to assimilate its institution to those on the Continent, which had met with the approbation and ae praise of every. one who had been abroad. He could not .con .templath any opposition to the Bill, without • conceiving that some interested motive was at the bottom of it. If he stood in . need of proof of the good effects of this Bill, .he found it in the opposition of those who, by their monopoly, had entailed so much sorrow and suffering on the poor.. If this society pro duced-better effects than those of the pawnbrokers under the most favourable circumstances, there could be no reason why the Honse.should not give it their sanction. Any objections that might be made to it would be made with propriety in (committee. As he could not - conceive-there could he any ra tional objection to a society that produced so many advantages; he woulttoppose the production of Counsel against it at the bar of the House. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose •to shew the necessity for hearing Counsel against this Bill. He complained that .the Noble Lord had .not objected to hear Counsel fortherly, .as it was a serious. thing. to induce Counsel to be. brought into the- House at 'considerable expence, and then to refuse to hear them. -But the •Noble Lord thought.' to get 'ti number of their Lcrrd. •ships to vote with him, and thus to sup i ort a Bill which wanted other suppeirt- . The Noble Lord hitd totally misstated the sita ` - ation of the - Company.; he had- admitted. that it had acted gaily until the contract of coliartncrship had been - formed.— He ( Lord , Loderdale) believed he was accurate in this state It came, before their Lordships then in the shape of: an illegal Company. The House ought not,. then, to be - called upon to - settle the differences of illegal perties, lest many other parties who stoodprecisely in the same situation shoul&come before the House, l and the House ivould be unable to refuse to hear them; and to do.theni justice. His Noble Friend (Lord Dacre) -had said, that the chief object of. the Bill 'was to' provide relief for .the poor. Now, if their Lordshipi would hear the arguments of Counsel, they would be. satisfied that this company from its comthencement was intended fornothing'but to deal•in shares, Lie would'certainly oppose this Bill at every stage, and would maintain the necessity for their Lordships now hearing the ar.: guments of Counsel against it. The LORD CHANCELLOR difFered in his opinions some what from these which had been delivered in judgment else where. He did not thinit it possible to deny that whatever the Company might have done before the. execution of the deed was illegal. It was Said that the Company did not' act as a Corpo : . rate Body -; but, if' its whole system was that of a Corporate Body; was the denial to be taken in defiance to evidence ? It was important those points should be well discussed: Ile would not agtee to the decision which had been given in the Court . of Kin:s Beneli: Ire could not agree that the authority given to one individual out of a body took the whOle Company out of the Agt of George the Third. lie' did not believe ' that gteater public mischief had ever been . done th an t h at w h ich had ariset from Joint-Stock Companies, within the last three or four Ii by icalli ng `C ounsel to the Bar, - years. If nothing more was produced than th e present deed, he should find it his bounden duty, with regr e t he sa id i t , to op -Phe°sceotuhled nbillt b persuade in e everysta .. of its -propriety, then he should be the first to say, pass that Bill. Ile did not mean to contend that good, but let no one suppose, th at w i t h out an Act ' of tompanies might not, or should not,, b e incorporated for the public good, or a Charter,' it was possible bY.pay.ing those fbol ish Bills to give sufficient security to it.ohceilipsilltabnlidc:inLflaw:leenrst nth°atitliunngless Companies were incofpotat, t iiir atti ded neither Security nor remedies.'

The rejec tion of the Catholic Relief Bill, in the House of Lords, ren dered this proceeding necessary, as the Elective Franchise Bill, if it passed unaccot.npanied by• the Catholic Relief Bill, would excite great tumult and dissatisfaction in Ireland.

Mr. Secretary PEEL irreiented'a petition from 'certain Cot ton-spinners of Boiton-le , Moor, Lancashire . , against the Bill for limiting the hOurs oflabour.—Laid on the table. (JAN:: OF apop HOPE Mr. HUME rose to present a petition from Mr. C a rn e ll, ; who bad been banished from the Cape of Good Hope. :The allegations in the petition were verified by affidavit. The Pe titioner stated that he became acquainted with . a Mr.:4l - a Notary of "the Cape of Good, Hope, as a witness.in' private cause. : The said Mr Edwards was afterwards sen tenced to . seven years transportation fig writing a letter :to Lord C. Somerset, the Governin ; and the treatment o 1 whiCh the petitioner complained was for being accused of "to in Mr- Edwards' escape. Ile( Mr. Hume) was induced to present the petition now, in consequence of two years having elapsed since a Commission was aprinted_to. investigate the affairs of that Colony, and no report laving yet been received. The Pe_ titioner declared, that in the escape of. Mr. Edwards he had taken no part, nor was that escape meditated before hand ,by Mr. Edwards himself. He also stated that the Governor Ogle Cape of Good Hope had written. privately to the Governor of New South Wales,reconimending that Mr. Edwards Slintild be punished there with hard labour, and that the knowledge of this circumstance when he obtained it, induced that Gentleman to endeavour to escape. The petitioner complained that when ar rested he was put into a cell, which was hut twelve feet sqliare and swarming with vermin, and although, according to the Dutch law, an individnal must be tried when eight.days in custody, that he was kept confined much longer, He was afterwards brought before two Justices, and on the evidence of a Hottentot girl convicted, and ,sentenced a tine of fifty rix dollars. But Lord • Charles Somerset being . dissatisfied with this sentence, he was again tried and condemned to ba nishment for five years. The lion. Member proceeded to . state other.charges against the Governor of the Cape,. and mention ed that he had it on the authority of the most respectable inha bitants of the Colony, that they. were afraid to utter an opinion on any act of. Government. The Honourable Member con cluded by pressing the prayer of the petition for an inveitiga tion of the case. M W r. .. HORTON did not propose to enter into the merits of the complaint in the petition. The Hon. Illember,'hoWever, said the punisliment.this individual suffered was 'ascribable to the Governor. He (Mr. W. Horton) denied that; he sentenced. by a Court of Justice, and- all the Government at home could do was to inquire into the subject, and see. that no wrong had been done. In one newspaper, since Jantiary, 11624, twenty-one inculpatory articles, had appeared relative to the Government of the Cape of Good /lope.; but did the Hon.. Member mean solely on ex-parte authority to condemn .without evidence the conduct of the Commissioners who were sent out to the Cape of Good Hope ? ThOse pniviris.sioqtrs, from accidental causes, might have delayed their Report, but they were amenable to the - House for their conduct ; and as they -were in-the. Colony when this alleged act of injUslice wisi.done, all he now wished was for the House to suspend its judgment. The Commissioners were empowered -not only to inquire into the.mode ,of administering justice in the Colony, but to ascer tain how far the Dutch law there in force - could be assimilated to the English. law. And he must be allowed .to ottstrie„ that with the Colonial Department it was a prinsiPal object to make the laws of 111 . . our, .Dependencies confOrm as much as possible , to those of the Mother Country. With respect to the pres&nt case, and others. relative ,to the Cape of Good Hopi. ;a11.14e wished was; that they should he fully investigated' before the conduct of the Government was pronounced on: Be had no Abjection to lay the Report on the case of Edward to the noun, but he must caution against fx-pqrte statement - S. - The Honourable Member then-read extracts front the correspon dence of the petitioner, requiring the . deciSion to be reversed, and. from Lord Bathurst's answer, that there was no Report. of his case in the Colonial Office. He was sure The Commis sioners would do their duty, and if - the systein - of law was de fective, it ought to be altered.. . Sir M. V. RIDLEY said, 'he had received - nformation re specting one-of the Cortunissioners who had been in such a state of health as entirely to unfit him mind for pursuing the inquiry; and indeed during his illtiestehis friends in this volutti7 felt' an alarm that soinething"inore' serious-had 'occurred than a mere ties 'bf the ilutiel , Ofliis'otlice.
