This Compeny is formed for the purpose of manufacturing Cocoa -Nut F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent granted to George Davies. dated the 24th April. 1862. The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving, great durability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of articles manufactured by this process over the present method will be well understood in the trade when it is stated that matting of all descriptions, and car riage and door mats, dro., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surface hitherto unattained. The continually extendin g demand for articles made of Cocoa fibre will be greatly stimulated by the introduction of the patent process into the manufacture. The harshness hitherto complained of in matting, made of this material in the ordi nary method will no longer reman a source of complaint, the Patent process rendering the material and articles made of it nr,t only more durable, but much softer. The Patent at the present time is being worked profitably 'to a limited extent. The proposed Capital will be ample for the payment of the purchase money for the patent, for looms and other plant, and for working the busine.is on a large scele. The calculations made warrant the probability that the profits will exceed 25 per cent., and as the manufactory re quired is of a simple and inexpensive character, the works will be in operation, and profits will be realised, within three months after allotment of shares. The following is an Estimate of Profits to be realised:— £ d. 60 Loorna, p ro d uc i ng 30ft.

Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. - - . _ This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing an extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore, and Slate, en the north side of the noted Cader Idris Mountain, known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn, Merionethshire, 'North Wales, held under lease for 21 years, at 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a Royalty of only 401. per ton). The great grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and Copper -Iron of the beat quality, and blende with traces of Gold —also excellent Slate. An adit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or Galena. A Copper lode opened upon, gives promise of excellent re sults. An Iron vein runs through the entire grant. An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked to great advantage. The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of silver to the ton of ore. Lead and Copper from a shaft at the end of the adit have realbed .£l2 per ton. The Iron vein is estimated to produce 61 per cent. of iron. The Slate is of superior quality, and can be cut into pave ment, flooring, chimney pieces, &c. The streams of water running through the grant offer great facilities for working, scouring, and cutting the slate. In fact, a Quarry opened upon the property will pay well for working:. The foregoing facts and the position of the grant, in a rich mineral district, warrant the conclusion that, efficiently lv„ o ,r)ted, the mine is capable of yieldingreturns equal to those vi4t i l l e most profitable mines in the Principality. mil property being advantageously situated about half a rem the Welsh Coast Railway, from which a siding can beeoructed at moderate cost, ant only 21 miles by publ.c road from the si l t port of Barmonth, affords a facility of transit vrhich a i , ,P r y : n at4y rr p enhanc es its value.

Indeed, almost simulta neously with Mr. Roebuck's statement, Earl Ru...5r 11, in reply to a question puc to him in the House of Lords, stated that although oniy a short time pre viously he had seen the French Ambassador, hi s excellency bad made no communication to him on the subject of Southern recognition. One of Mr. Roebuck's chief arguments for immediately recog nising the independence of the South was the ad vantage derivable to this country from such a course —by curtailing, as it probably would, the duration of the war. To this line of argument, however, we must demur. In the conduct we pursue in this matter we certainly ought not to be guided by sel fish considerations. If the South has established its right to be regarded as an independent league, we ought to acknowledge that right, unless by so doing we conscientiously believed we should work the belligerents themselves more harm than good. In Mr. Gladstone's objections to Mr. Roebuck's - -views upon the - point - we entirely coil - cur. But, on striking a balance between the pros and cons ad vanced respectively by the member for Sheffield and the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the expediency of immediate recognition, the reasoning of the for mer appears to us unanswerable. Recognise the South, said Mr. Roebuck, and you publicly admit what you cannot conscientiously deny—namely, that the Southern States have demonstrated their ability to maintain their national independence ; and by so doing you will convince the Northern States of the folly of the enterprise in which they are engaged. Recognise the South, without at the same time intervening in some other manner, said Mr. Gladstone, and you will only irritate the Government of the Federal States, without at the same time benefittisg the infant Confederacy. On the consequences of recognition it is of course only open to us to form conjectures; but, consider ing the course which the war has taken, and the present reaction in the sentiments of the Northern population, we cannot help thinking that the formal acknowledgment by the principal States of Europe of Southern independence would contribute more than anything else to bring the present contest to a close. Church, Convent, and Hospital of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.. (From the Building News) ) Great Ormond-street, Queen-aqu'are, contains a these mansions have number of large old-fashioned houses, which in the institutions; and on the site of two of the last century were the residences of the nobility, r t i a c t; d f Manyor liti o s f p i , infirmaries, and erected a church, con vent, and hospital, belonging to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The intention of this building is to combine an absmebni horses alas rs aa t Pdi h i e srr r t: e iP, are now being hospital for invalid members of the Order; a home for the Sisters of Charity, who are also the nurses a a convent for the training o f novitiates; and church, forming part of the same establishment, in such a manner that communication to and from all parts is afforded without leaving the roof. As far as the hospital is concerned, it may be said to be finished and in a few days will be fit for occupation. It will accommodate 44 patients ; and besides the general arrangements being very perfect, there are several ingenious contrivances for the promotion of health and the alleviation of suffering. The windows, for instance, work with a crank, and can be set at any angle so as to regulate the temperature of the wards to the required degree. The sinks are fitted with a double window, the inner one opening and the outer one shutting when the sink is being used, and the outer one opening and the inner one shutting when it is no longer required. A lift runs from the bottom to the top of the gallery, and by this patients incapable of walking can be received from the ground floor, landed at the destined ward, and are econvey built, conveyed t b ob l zd. an T d tbhecehuerocnhveanntd willconvenbet now being shortly completed. The front elevation presents a very fair specimen of the Corinthian over the lonic ; and it is composed of Portland stone backed up with brickwork. It is further ornamented by the symbols of the Order of St. John, and is sur mounted by a Maltese Cross. The inner portion of the church is divided into three sections, the first section leading from the front entrance being for the general public ; the second, for the members of the Order; and the third for the Sisters. The di vision between the second and third sections will be formed by the high altar, which reaches from the body of the church to the coping of the dome. This altar will be of various kinds of marble, as will also the floor, and two side altars will be situated north and south of it. Immediately over the altar there is a dome, built from a model of St. Peter's. This is 24ft. Gin. in diameter, 37ft. high, and 75ft. from the floor. It will be lighted with a lantern, containing six windows of amber-stained plate glass, set in gilt mouldin ge, and will be supported by marble pilasters and pediments. On that side of the church adjoining the hospital there will be galleries fitted up, and these communicating immediately with the wards, the patients will be enabled to join in the service with the least possible personal inconveni ence. The convent can accommodate 34 Sisters. It is approached by a covered way by the side of the church ; and besides a refectory, a communion room, and other apartments, it contains ten cells for the novitiates. The dimensions of the church are 76ft. 3in, by 26ft. ; and the convent is 65ft. by 24ft: This combination of ecclesiastical with charitable establishments is common enough in Italy and oth er Roman Catholic countries ; but we b elieve this wi ll be the first instance of such an institution on an extended scale existing in Eng land. originated by Sir George Bowyer/ AL P., at whose sense, chiefly, it is undertaken. It has been HERALD.—We hold Mr. Roebuck's motion per fectly justified; we admire the courage and truth fulness of the speech by which he defended it; we are glad that, in the face of his ancient friends and now rancorous enemies, he dared to declare the real character of the Abolitionism now professed by the North, and of the slavery upheld by the South, and to tell the pretended friends of the negro that their Northern clients hate the slave with tenfold the hatred they feel for the slaveowner, and that their hatred of slavery is a mere hypocrisy and cant. We would go further, and as Mr. Forster bade us look to results, we will tell him frankly what Mr. Roebuck might have added—that if the South were con quered the slave would not be freed. The North would confiscate the possessions of the rebels, and those possessions would be valueless without slavery. Slavery, therefore, would continue, and the negro would only have exchanged a master whom he loves, and who knows him, has been brought up with him, and feels kindly for him, for a master who cares not for him, and whom he hates, who is even to white men the hardest of task masters, and under whose harsh rule the slave race, which has multiplied and thriven under its present masters, would languish and finally die out. The complete subjugation of the South, therefore, would be a horrible misfortune to the negro ; the loss of the States west of the Mississippi, compressing the negroes within a narrow area, obliging the domi nant race to take stricter precautions as their numbers grow relatively greater, and diminishing the value of slaves, would also be tan aggravation of their condition. We think, therefore, that Mr. Roebuck showed sense as well as courage in grappling boldly with the question of slavery, and wish that time and the occasion had allowed him to go further into that question as bearing upon his motion. DAILY NEWS.—The tone of Mr. Roebuck's speech did not at all help to remove the serious disqualifi cations under which he laboured as the avowed agent of the Slave Power, and the ambiguous re presentative of the French Emperor, or tend in any way to commend his proposal to the reflective judg ment and honourable feeling of the house. Any in terference of ours in the American quarrel, to be worthy of our character, or of the smallest practical use, must be of the most friendly and disinterested kind. It must proceed on the clearest grounds of international justice, and be on the face of it free from all political passion or selfish interest. But Mr. Roebuck did not even attempt to justify the intervention he proposes on these grounds. He did not pretend to discuss its justice, lawfulness, or ex pediency on the recognised and established princi ples of international procedure. He appealed at once and exclusively to the lowest motives, the most vulgar passions, and the most selfish interests. A proposal that produces such speeches as those de livered last night by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Forster, and Mr. Bright, is a gain to the country, as well as a gain to the cause of justice, freedom, and hu manity on both sides of the Atlantic.

Sixteen deaths from small pox occurred in the east dis ccroerasresepondinlo tricts, which number is greater than that of any of the four other divisions. The deaths from it were also numerous ie. the central division. At the present time scarlatina is more fatal than any other zymotic disease. There were 89 deaths from it last week, 5 of which occurred in the rectory sub-district of Marylebone, 4 in St. George, Holborn, 5 in St. Botolph, 7 in the Poplar district. Five nonagenarians died in the week; their ages were 92, 93, 94, 96, and 99 years. All of them were women, except, the oldest, who was a Chelsea pensioner. Last week the births of 1,035 boys and 934 girls, in elf 1,959 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor responding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 1,912. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.912 in. The reading was 29.74 in. on Sunday morning ; and it rose to 30.01 in. on Fri day. The mean temperature of the air in the week waS 61.2 deg , which is 0.8 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 76.5 deg. on Tuesday. The lowest night temperature was 49'4 deg. on Friday. The range of the temperature in the week was therefore 27'L deg. The mean daily range was 19.2 deg. On Friday the range was 26.6 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 65.1 deg, ; that of the lowest was 62.9 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 8.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 74, complete saturation. being represented by 100. The wind generally blew from a westerly or south-westerly point. The rain-fall was 0.47' in., nearly all of which fell on Wednesday. At 8 o'clock on the evening of that day there was a thunder-storm, which continued more or less heavily till midnight.

The scenery of Richmond and its neighbourhood, whose beauties have long been the theme of poet and artist, has always attracted the,aristocratic pleasure seekers of the me tropolis. Convenience of access, both by rail and river, has increased the number of visitors to so great an extent as to rend , r the present accommodation utterly inadequate. "2. The object of this Company is to erect on Richmond-hill an Hotel possessing every modern luxury and convenience whether for visitor or equipage. 3. The Directors have secured an excellent site, in close proximity to the "Star and Garter," commanding a most lovely view of the river Thames and the surrounding country, at a cost of £7,500. The property is now known as Ashburn ham Lodge, and contains about three acres. partly copyhold (equal to freehold) and partly leasehold, wi,h upwards of so years to run at a moderate ground rent of £2O per annum. The mounds are at present beautifully laid out, and will be further improved to make them as perfect as possible. 4. The Hotel will contain large and small dining rooms, reading rooms, billiard rooms, bath rooms, smoking room, and upwards of one hundred bedroom., and will offer every possible convenience and attraction both to visitors desiring to spend a few hours out of town, and to those desiring tem porary residence. 5. Hotel Companies having become a recognised institution in England, and, with hardly an exception, paying good dividends, no excuse need be offered for putting this under taking before the public. Large fortunes have been realised by the proprietors and lessees of hotels in the immediate vicinity, fr c om whih it may be confidently anticipated that this Hotel may be among the moat prosperous of this very profitable class of undertakings. 8. As an evidence of the large profits derived from hotel property, it may be mentioned that the Queen's Hotel Com pany, Norwood (an undertaking similar in nearly every re spect to 'he proposed Richmond Hotel), have declared a divi dend of 10 per cent. 7. The nominal capital of the Company is fixed at £lOO,OOO, but it is confidently expected, looking to the smallcost of the site, &0., that not nearly all of this sum will be required ; the Dire ctors therefore propose at first to issue only one-half of the shares. Plans of the site, to:i ether with a photograph of the view, may be seen at the temporary offices. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. will be paid on all sums received until the opening of the HoteL Prospectuses and femme of application may be had at the offices of the Company, or of the brokers and bankers.

TIMES.—With all his usual vehemence, though, perhaps, with a little less than his usual acrimony, Mr. Roebuck last night pressed upon the House of Commons and the British nation the recognition of the Confederate States. ne oeeasion was impor tant. The lapse of time, the events of the war, the all but universal sympathies of the English people, the alleged desire of the French Emperor, combine to make the demand for recognition, or for some kind of mediation, a more plausible and weighty proposal than it was a year ago. Mr. Roebuck was embarrassed only by the number of the arguments he could employ, the aptness of the parallels, the weight of the authorities. On the question of con stitutional right there is little more to be said. In an age when the efforts of every petty and semi barbarous race to make itself independent receive the loud approbation of philanthropists, certainly a people of our own blood and language, inhabiting a vast territory, and possessing every quality of po litical greatness, may be allowed to assert the right of sell -government. If the 13 British colonies are held to have deserved independence when they showed their ability to resist the ill-directed strength of the mother country across the ocean, the South ern States, which have defeated so many invasions of their territory by a powerful enemy on their frontier, and are now, at the end of two years, able to carry the war into his country, may fairly be looked upon as having taken their place among the nations of the earth. It was hardly requisite for Mr. Roebuck to sound the praises of a people who are admitted even by their enemies to have given an example of public virtue in time of trial unsur passed in any annals, and perhaps it was fortunate for the cause he advocated that his hearers knew these things so well, for the speaker was disposed rather to indulge in dispraise of the North than to point out the merits of its a dversaries. It is not because the United States in former times main tained an insolent tone and bearing towards our selves, it is not because at the North the negro is despised far more than on the Southern plantations that we should think of mediation or recognition, but because the South has shown its ability to main tain itself in arms, and because the war is bringing untold evils on the world. However, the speech of Mr. Roebuck hardly touched the practical ques tion. He delivered a clever declamation, which un doubtedly gave pleasure to his hearers, but he failed to show that any good would ensue from the House adopting and the Government obeying the terms of his motion. He proposed that an Address should be presented to her Majesty, " praying that ahe will be graciously pleased to enter into negotiations with the great Powers of Europe for the purpose of obtaining their co-operation in the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States." By the great Powers it is confessed that France alone is meant. So that, in fact, England and France are to join and recognise the South either with or without due notice of their intention to the Federal Government. According to Mr. Roebuck, this is the policy of the French Emperor, although it had been announced already that no proposal of the kind has been actually made by Baron Gros to our Government. But, assuming that the Emperor's assurances to Mr. Roebuck go further than a gene ral desire to see peace restored, and a conviction that it cannot be restored by the conquest of the South —assuming that the Emperor actually thinks it advantageous to proclaim at the present time the formal admission of the Confederate States into the list of nations, is it advisable that we should join him in the enterprise ? That is the question for the House of Commons and the Government; and, without abandoning any opinion they may have formed, we think that Englishmen are justified in deciding that no good can come of our interference at such a moment. No man has spoken his mind more boldly on this question than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He said last autumn that Jefferson Davis had made a nation, and he says so now. He believes that the Soath can maintain its independence, and that it would be expedient for the Federals to de sist from a hopeless, and therefore an unjustifiable war. No one can suspect him of partiality to the North. As a man, his sympathies are on the other side ; as a Minister, interested in the financial pros perity of this country, he wishes for peace between the producers of cotton and the blockaders of their ports. But Mr. Gladstone, after once more assert ing his former opinions in the plainest language, opposed Mr. Roebuck's proposition. His speech may, indeed, be taken as an exposition of enlightened English opinion on the subject. He condemns the war, he condemns the incitements to servile rebel lion of 'which Mr. Lincoln's Government has been guilty, but he denies that England and France can abate the miseries of the contest by such an act as the recognition of the South. Recognition, it :s evi dent, can do nothing in itself. The reception of Mr. Slidell at the Tuileries, and of Mr. Mason at Wind sor, cannot by themselves calve one shot the less to be fired in the New World. Peace can only be restored by inducing the Government of the Federal States to acquiesce in the independence of the South, and this must be done either by per suasion or force. As to the former, we do not see how any argument can be added to those that have been already urged by both England and France. Both Governments, the press of both countries, and all but an insignificant section of society have been counselling peace for two full years. If Mr. Lin coln and his friends are capable of being influenced by foreign Governments, what can be added to the demonstrations that have been already made ? The French Emperor, it seems, tells eeery one who talks to him that, in his opinion, the South has won its independence, and both the Foreign Secretary and the Chancellor cf the Exchequer in England have reprobated with a strength of langu a g e rarely heard from official men Jut the cruel war whi c h the North is waging.

Why should ful It remains, then, representation be more success . ht by be brought to consider whether the North could r opinions an official force to desist from the war.

Such an interference would be as unjustifiable and immoral as the war which it would seek to terminate. It may be true that the Warrior alone could destroy the whole Federal Navy, but the English people would hardly consent to see the armaments of the country employed for such a purpose. It is plainly our duty, as well as our policy, to bear with this misguided people for some time longer. True, we have suffered, and shall suffer, by the blockade of American cotton; but as we have borne with this for two years, and until the worst is past, it would be idle to throw away the just reputation gained by such self-denial at a time when the trial may be coming to an end. The events that are passing at this time in America mark the crisis of the campaign of 1863. With immense energy, and by the expenditure of some two hundred millions sterling, the North raised an army which towards the latter part of last year was said to amount to three-quarters of a million of men. It is said that the prospect of a French interference increased the willingness to enlist ; if so, that is an additional reason for not again rousing the population by anything like a menace. But, whatever the causes which produced this enormous host, they have apparently ceased to operate. Death, desertion, and, still more, the expiration of the time of service, have diminished the Northern armies, until now they are confessedly unable to do more than occupy the positions they have gained. All along the frontier they are merely " confront ing" the Southerns. At Vicksburg only is a Northern General carrying on active operations, and, although in this region the Southern popula tion is sparse and the armies are weak, it is not im probable we may hear that General Grant has been obliged to raise the siege. So broken is the army of the Potomac that General Lee is able to assume the offensive, and carry the war into Pennsylvania. In short, it is the opinion of the best judges that the Northern States must either raise another large army or allow the war gradually to wear out. The conscription is languishing—most people think it can never be enforced. If even the new levies are made, it will be six months at least before they are ready for service, and next Spring before they can be used. This being the case, is it not better to wait and' see what the next few months will bring forth ? It may be that the failure of so many enterprises and the wasting away of their enormous hosts will at length teach the Northern people wisdom. They may then indicate their readiness to receive the mediation which if offered now might give a new impulse to the war. POST.—If no other end was gained by Mr. Roebuck last evening than of eliciting the views entertained by the English House of Commons on the present condition of American affairs, the debate which he inaugurated was far from fruitless. Of all the foreign topics which have, during the course of the present session, been ventilated in Parliament none possesses so close and intimate an interest for the British people as the American question. By the war which now rages, and has raged for upwards of two years on the other side of the Atlantic, no neutral State has suffered so much as Great Britain, and none looks forward to its termination with greater anxiety. But this very interest which we feel in its speedy close makes us the less capable of deciding with impartiality between the contendin,.l parties, and deprives of the weight which they might otherwise possess the opinions which we may think proper to express on the merits of the struggle. Although, however, the situation which we occupy should inspire us with caution, it ought not to induce us to abandon duties which it is our province to fulfil. If we would be true to others we must also be true to ourselves. It is not there fore because we may be interested even more than other nations in bringing to a termination the most bloody, and we would also add the most demoralis ing, of modern wars, that we should shrink from casting into the balance the weight of our influence, even though by so doing we might in appearance be acting from purely selfish considerations. The question of Southern recognition may by interna tional lawyers be supposed to depend upon abstract considerations, but it was not thus that it was re garded by the House of Commons, nor is it thus that it is considered by the people of England. To a jurist it would seem that, as the recognition of Southern independence would not in any way modify the rights of the belligerents, practically the status quo would remain unchanged. But by neutral states the recognition of the South would be regarded in a different light. It would be considered as a solemn and formal condemnation of the war in which the Government of the United States is engaged, and as a species of moral intervention between the contending Powers. It is thus that England would view it ; it is on this basis that those who joined in the debate last night discussed it; and there can be no doubt that it is thus that we are bound oto consider this momentous question. Mr. C oebu moue was right when he told the House of %mbacksu that the causes of the present civil war e xten t _ s.and_ wards over a long series of years.

But in the presence of the events which years have called forth 't the last two is needless to seek in the early history of the American for proofs of the incompatibility of the N or th ern and Southern charac ters.
