The reputation of the Blaenavon Iron, and • the well-known success of these Works, during a period of forty years, sustain for this undertaking the character of a legitimate and lucrative investment. The property, containing about 12,000 acres leasehold, and 450 acres freehold,, comprises one of the largest and most productive Mineral Estates in South Wales. There are five furnaces, with all their subordinate works and buildings, 470 workmen's houses, and a forge and mill. Of the'Leasehold Estate abort one-fourth is underlet to two neighbouring Iron Works, on lease, at a rental which, with the rents received for houses and the sikrface lands of the remaining portion, leaves the Blacnavon Property, purchased on behalf of the Company, free of rent and royalty. The Furnaces are producing after the rate of 18,000 tons of pig iron per annum, and the Forge " turns out" 100 tons per week of the best bar and cable iron. There is also a profitable coal and lime trade, unconnected with the market for iron. An investigation of the books, showing the profits of the concern during, a period of extreme depression and difficulty, and a calcula tion based upon the prices of - iron for fifteen years (since 1821), justify a confident expectation of annual dividends of 10 per cent., without reference in such calculation to the continuance of the pre sent large profits. Should, however, the prosperity of the iron trade continue, a much larger dividend will be realised. Ten pounds per share will be required at the time of appropria tion, and the remainder according to the decision of the Directors ; but it is not intended that above 401. per share shall be called for. The Shareholders will be entitled to the profits from Midsummer next, and a dividend declared at Christmas, 1836. Applications for shares (post paid) may be made in writing to James Ashwell, Esq., at the temporary office of the Company, No. 4, Adam's -court, Old Broad-street, where prospectuses, with additional information, may be obtained.

'This may at first sight appear all very fair, but if we look a little closer into the matter, it will be found that, without some. alterations arc made with regard to the registration of the names of newspaper proprietors at the Stamp Office, the establishment of these joint stock concerns will become a great evil. For instance, suppose a joint stock paper be established with a capital of 10,000/., in shares of 101. each, and that,.upon nn average, each shareholder was possessed of two shares, which would make the number of proprietors 500. Now if a libel were published against an individual in this paper, he would bring his action against the person registered at the stamp office, who merely being the printer or publisher of the paper in question, and the salaried servant of the Company, would not be able to sustain - an action, so that the party libelled would be knocked about from pillar to post between the 500 proprietors, and in the end gain no redress. A clause should be inserted in the new Act, compelling at least two-thirds of the proprietors of papers established upon this principle, or in fact any other, to register their names at the stamp office; 'otherwise they may issue their libels to the svorld, With im punity, and evidently enjoy an advantage over those papers now established ‘and duly registered.—Stockport Advertiser. *THE Ti TRADE, MONDAY.—The deliveries last week amounted to 355,220 lbs.

FOLLETT had been instructed on behalf of the parish of St. James to apply to the Court for a mandamus to be directed to the vestry of St. James's, commanding them to give notice of a meeting of the inhabitants for , the purpose of electing churchwardens. The parish of St. James was formerly part of the parish of St. Martin, but was created a parish in itself in the first year of the reign of James 11. The question now intended to be brought before the Court arose on the 9th section of the statute. That statute declared -bat the inhabitants of the said pa rish of St. James shall from time to time elect its officers, subject to the same laws relating to, the election of church wardens and other officers in the like manner as the inha bitants of St. Martin's. Lord DENMAN-Of course your affidavit states what was the course of election in the parish of St. Martin. Sir W. FOLLETT said that it did ; but that the mode of the election had recently been altered in the parish of St. Martin, and hence had arisen the difficulty on which it was now wished to take the opinion of the Court. The COURT granted the rule. BAIL COURT-MONDAY. THE ICING V. THE JUSTICE OF OXFORD. In this case a rule for a mandamus had been obtained against the Justices of Oxford, commanding them to hear an appeal against the decision of the Justices in which a putative father claimed to be exempeed from the main tenance of an alleged illegitimate child. It was contended in answer to the rule that the father was bound to appeal at the next Sessions after the order was made, which he had not done, nor had he .appealed at. the October Sessions pivn.:anect until Hillary Term, 1836. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ordered that the ru., 4 e for the mandamus should be discharged, but without costs. The rule for a mandamus against the Justices of 14 - orli (under similar circumstances) was, upon the motion of Afro WATSON, enlarged for Tuesday, in order to afford time for showing'cause against it. ARCHES' COURT-MONDAY. PACKHOUSE V. PACKHOITSE. This was a snit for divorce by reason of adultery pro moted by the wife against the husband.

Although the calendar is numerically heavy, and containing the names of fifty-five prisoners for trial for felony, besides fifty-one committed since last session for mis demeanours, yet none of the offences were marked with any particular circumstances of aggravation, so as to call forth any observations from the Learned Chairman in the course of his charge to the Grand Jury on theft' being sworn. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Whittiman, a stout, red-faced yoUng man, of very simple appearance, was yesterday brought. before M. CHAMBERS, charged with having attempted three time to hang hiinself. The defendant was in the employ of Mr. Cripps, livery stable-keeper ; and on Su::day last, after having drunk pretty freely, he went into Grosvenor-mews with the inten tion of hanging himself. He was twice prevented ; but the third time he had nearly effected his object ; for when covered, it was found he had made a slip-knot in his hand kerchief, and had suspended hitnself in the stable. He was cut down, and sent to the station-house. Inspector Deering said, he understood that the cause of the ,defendant's conduct was a disappointment in a love affair. Defendant (shaking his head) : No ; it was more about a horse -than a• Mr. CHAMBERS : Why, you foolish fellow, how could a horse' cause you to do anything so wicked . ?—Defendant : one of MiiSter's horses died on Saturday,. and he said I knoW'd about it ; so he discharged me.

Yesterday an ill-looking fellow, named John Jerome, whose " profession" is that of a " cad" to hackney-coach and cabmen, was placed at the bar before Mr. 4Awuts- SON, charged with having stolen a silver watch from a stylishly dressed gentleman, who, at the station-house de scribed himself as Peter Simpkins; Esq., 24, Curzon -street, May-fuir. - : • The owner of the property, according to the statement of Sergeant Elliot of the D division of • police, is no less a personage than the Marquis of • Waterford ; he was not in attendance to give evidence. John Fencourt, a cab-driver, residing at No. 10, Nightin gale-street, Lisson-grove, deposed, that. on the morning of Sunday last, about seven o'clock, as he was on the rank near the Plough public-house, Oxford -street, a gentleman whom he had previously seen drinking With the prisoner, got into his (witnesses') vehicle, when the prisoner came up. and asked for something to drink. The gentleman refused to give. him anything, and told him (witness) to drive on towards Baker-strut. He accordingly did so ; but the prisoner followed close behind, and when the horse was. pulled up at the Globe tavern, he again asked if he was to have any more d r i n k or not. - In.erer to gpt rid, if possi ble, of the prisoner, whose importtinities were xery annoy ing-, the gentlemen was about to comply, and ordered of the landlord, Mr. Harris some liquor. Mr. H., however, observing that he was " rather overcome," objected to serve him, and i n consequence t h ereo f , h e once mo re got the cab, when the prisoner, before he (the gent l e man) d time to seat hi mse lf; mounte d t h e s t e p, and drawingforth the silver „watch in question from the fob, ran eff. Yesterday Miss AfaryMargaret Faulkner, a lady of independent fortune, residing at No, 4. Gower-street, Bloomsbury -square, appeared at this . Pffice before Mr. LAING, pursuant to her bail, charger)/by William Taylor, a boy nine years of age, residing with his pare.nts at N0.:30, Henry-street, Hampstead-road, with having stclen two bed gowns, one petticoat, four towels, two pair of stoOdngs, and other trilling articles, under the following extram-dinary cir cumstances : The prisoner, who is about 30 years of age, wai accom panied to the office by several highly respectable frie.ads, anti the case excited considerable interest. It appeared that en sattarday plernoon last, ;.bout half past two o'clock, Ihspeeta Cat - OPbell, of E was passing through Gower-street, when he !blind a riotous as semblage around the house of Miss Faulkner, .and the pro secutor and his mother stating that a robber? , had been committed by a lady who had entered the house, but a po lice constable refused to take her into custody. Scveral of the crowd complained loudly that there was one law for the rich and 'another for the poor, and that being a lady Ler offence would be winked at by the police, and expecting from their excited state that they would offer violence. to the house, he (Campbell) knocked at • the door, and the boy who was said to have been robbed was admitted into the house, where they were introduced to Miss Faulk ner, and the boy positively asserted that she was the person who had robbed him, and persisting in his statement, she was taken into custody to St. Giles's station-house, where the charge was received by Inspector Bell, and she was locked up for twenty-four hours. It being a charge of fe lony, the officers did not feel themselves justified in receiv ing bail, which was offered to any amount for her appear ance. However, Mr. Newton, of Leicester-square, visited Mr. Laing at his residence, in the Temple, when that ma gistrate, after hearing the particulars of the case, received bail for her appearance, and she was liberated on Sunday morning. The boy's statement was, that his father was a bird-fancier, and his mother a washerwoman. On Saturday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, he was carrying home the above articles by his mother's orders, and on his arrival in Gower-street he was accosted by Miss Faulkner, who claimed acquaintance with his mother, and promised, if lie would go with her, she would make him a present of a horse and cart. She took the bundle from him, and on their arrival opposite No. 4, Gower-street, she went in with the bundle, telling him to wait near a baker's shop on the opposite side of the way, and she would bring him - out the horse and cart (toys) that she had promised him. He waited there nearly two hours, hut she never returned, and he went home and informed his mother, who came with 14 , to the house. Mr. LAING, prior to On .0 ~,,, iencement of the examina tion of other wiimesses, ordered one of the officers td take the boy outside the office. Miss Faulkner declared in the most positive terms her entire innocence of the transaction, and that she never saw the boy in her life before. She left home in the morning with two young ladies to visit the exhibition at Somerset house, and she returned home at half-past two in their com pany, and did not quit the house afterwards until she accom panied the officer to the station-house. Mr. LUNG inquired how she was attired on Saturday ? Miss Faulkner—Exactly as I am now, your .Worship—(in a lavender-coloured silk dress, a straw bonnet, and a white veil.) The young ladies corroborated her statement, and the mo ther of the boy repeatedly interrupted them, until she was ordered to be quiet. The boy was now called in, when— Mr. LeiN❑ asked him what sort of a dress the person , gown. Mr. LAING—What did she have upon her head? Boy —A cap and a straw bonnet; . Mr. LAING—Did she wear a shawl? Boy—No. Mr. LAING —Had she on a white veil ? 'Boy—No. Mr. LAING said he believed the lady to be innocent of t h e c Large. It was proved that she wore a white veil. Boy o . ‘urriedly)—Oh, she had on a veil. Mr. LaiiiG warmly asked him how he dared to stand before him am,' utter such falsehoods. He inquired of the officers whether he , , was known to any of them. Several of them replied that they knew his father, whom they had seen with bad characters. Mr. Newton assured Mr. Laing that Miss Faulkner was a lady of the highest res,lvetability, and was in terms of friendship and intimacy with come of the first persons of the country. Mr. LAING ryas thoroughly convinced of her innocence. He regretted that she had been depvived of her liberty for so long a time or put to any inconveni6,nce. She was now discharged from that office free from thi.. slightest imputa tion, as he believed her to he as innocent of the charge brought against her as he was himself..'he had good grounds of an action for false imprisonment if 'the parties were worth pursuing. Miss Faulkner, who was exceedingly affected, curtseyed, and thanked Mr. LAING for the attention he had shown . her, -and she left the office with her friends. IVORSHIP-SIWEET.
