These mines are situated in the parishes of St. Ewe and M man, in the county of Cornwall, and constitute in themselves a dist r.ct of well-known celebrity for mineral riches. The grants of the setts are for 21 years, from C. H. J. Ha , kins, Esq., and the Earl of Mount Edgecombe, at the unusually favo arable dues of 1-24th and 1-18th. The mines are distant only about four miles from the place WC ship ment, so that there will be a cheap transit for the ores, and fhr the carriage of materials to the mines. There are many productive lodes comprised within the limits. of the setts, several of which have been sufficiently tested, and wort rod on, to justify the concurrent testimony and decided opinions off sired in the accompanying reports. The present Company is formed for working these celebrated mines, and it is only necessary to lay a few facts before the public relating to their past and present circumstances and position, to jus tify their being strongly recommended as a most profitable !invest ment. A very large sum of money was expended some years ago in. laying open these mines, and at that time the production exceed e d forty tons of tin ore per month ; owing, however, to the low price of tin, and the expensive and inefficient management, the operatims were discontinued. The sane quantity of tin ore can at once be raised when au) mines are brought into operation, and at anything like the present price of 701. per ton, there would be derivable a clear gain of 1, MI. per month. The mines are 26 fathoms deep, and there are 10 levels, fro n which a produce of 60 tons per month may reasonably be calculated on ; but, it is confidently expected that, from fresh discoveries coftsequent upon the extension of the present levels, and the more eci xnomical working of the different lodes, much greater returns *will be realised. ' There is also a large tract of virgin ground immediately t uljoining to the eastward, where several lodes of great promise h :eve been opened, from which, at present, some very excellent tin ore Is being raised, and which will also admit of being worked to the greatest advantage from the present Company's main engine-shaft : tt 311 the different deeper levels. An arrangement has been made with the present propri etors, by which the leases, steam-engine, water-wheel, stamps, and all the machinery and buildings whatsoever, with the mines, will be assigned to the new company for 9,0001., and the amount will be t alien and held in shares in this Company. With the assistance of a new and powerful steam-engif to, which will be immediately erected, and other requisite multi) iory, the whole will be in perfect working order within six months. • Assuming, at a very moderate calculation, that 50 tons are raised per month, the annual receipts, at 701 per ton, would be ........ ••• • •• •.•• • • •• £42,000 . 0 0 Deduct dues, working expenses, and all other charges, at 1,800/. per month •• .. •• • • ........ 214;00 0 0 Leaves.... .. 20,,400 0 0 of annual return on a capital 0f30,000/. The mines being in the Duchy of Cornwall, will be co n•ducted on the Cost-book principle, under the stannary laws, and, co asequently, no deed will require to be signed. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed forms, to Messrs. Dowling and Borthwick, 75, Old Broad-street..; or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company. Report of Captain John Webb, on the Great novas; Mine. Gentlemen,—This well-known tin mine needs no con - anent being famous for tin. It ceased to work about thirty - five yea rs since. An attempt was made some four or five years since to res arne working by some parties of limited capital, who drained the mine to the thirty six fathom level only, where the monthly returns were i Yom seven to eight tons of tin per month, and embarrassing circumstances caused abandonment. The engine shaft is sunk to a 126-fathom level, givir ig nine levels below the thirty-six, to extend eastward into whole go found, where there is no doubt of making important discoveries. There is much tin ground throughout the various rels that will now work to a profit, and was not valued in the old v rorkings ; the highest tribute then given was 7s. in the pound. A s Seat quantity of tin per month may safely be calculated on in twelve months after the engine and the necessary plant is fixed, which will fetch a this time nearly 701. per ton. • There are great advantages for immediate working , viz.. a strong, well- b u ilt engine-house, stack , smither y , carpentry, and other build-- inks • th e engine-shaft timber ed and well secured, to., the thirty-six fathom level, besides several other shafts, which cost n kany thousands of pounds. A capital of 17,000/. to 18,0001. will place this mi ne in good re ,tages over the last working , viz. , the irni:nroved machl puTteheaf.ddvsanoon on the dividend list. nery, mode of working, dressing the ores, the healti or state of the tin trade, are considerable. I can conscientiously r e commend this investment to my best friends, being fully persuaded t4nat shares will be worth 100 per cent. (if the mine is well managed at surface and underground) in twelve months after drained to bott Dm. Report of John Jenkins on Great Hewes 3 Line. Agreeably to your request, I hand you a Report on the above Mine : The sump shaft is down 126 fathoms below the ad It level, which will leave thousands of fathoms of tin ground open ilor tribaters to work on, which can be worked from 75. to 10s. in tit- pound, if the water is drained out. I believe you could raise a great quantity of tin per month on the lode that is open in the old mine. Looking at the lod e east and west of the old workings, I say, put up an engine of sufficient power in the old house to fork the mine, which can be done with less outlay than some calculate. The house is u the sump is down ; the ladder-road is complete to 36 fathom level; a lift of pumps is stand ing in a cistern at this level (worth 1000 An engine can be put up in this house, and the water forked to the 36 fathom level in three months. At this level only you could raise from six to seven tons of en per month ; the levels in the mine are the —3G, 48, 58, 66, 76, 86, 96, 106, 116, and 126—as soon as these levels are drained of water, extend them downd west on the lode, through the ciurses of tin. The sump iso a sufficient depth to work the mine for 20 years, and not sink another lift. A 70-inch engine is sufficient for the a steam stamps and whim will be required. I have w d r o a r u k g e h d t tn engine — he ine for seven or eight years, and in nearly all the levels. My opinion is, if the mine is worked in this way, she will he one of the best paying tin mines in the county. Report of William Ham on Great HeWas Mine. I worked in Hewes Mine for many years during the time it was found so predmtive for tin, being one of the best tin mines in the county ; but was worked in a most extravagant manner, and was raistig nearly 40 tons of per month when she knocked ; the price was then low (about 401. per ton). At this time it will fetch nearly 701. per ton. Tho mine is sunk 126 fathoms below edit. There was a good lode in the 126 east end when the mine knocked. There is plenty of ground remaining in the upper levels that easward will pay well for working. I believe, by extending the level , important discoveries will be made, and a profitable mine will be found. FORM OF APPLICATION FOIL MARES. shares of 11.

Such a system is tbo equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEposiT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universall recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It . confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair r ate interest in ease of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the ands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor 1 x ease of death, thus combining the ADYANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. AbTANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH. 5.

THE SCREW-FRIGAE DAUNTLESS AND THE FEVER. The following is an extract from a private letter just received : THE LATE LIEUTENANT LAWRANCE, COMMANDER OP THE SURVEYING -BEM, SCORPION. —We announced last week the death of this gallant and talented surveying officer, at St. Thomas's, on Sunday morning, the 15th of January. We learn from the St. Croix Avis that the funeral took place the same evening, accompanied with every mark of military honour which could be shown by this government, and the deepest sympathy on the part of every respectable inhabitant of this place who attended the solemn and mournful procession. The same paper adds the following :—" The death of Lieutenant Law rance is a public loss, not alone to his nation, but to the service of navigation in general. For some years past he has been employed in surveying the Virgin Islands, including Crab Island and Culebra with all their reefs and passages, and which having lately completed, he came to this island to survey its coast and reefs also. In this occupation, which necessarily exposed him to great fatigue, his valuable life was closed at the early age of 36 years, deeply lamented by the few surviving officers of the Scorpion, and every other person who had the honour of his acquaintance. His skill and talents as a surveyor are conspicuous in those charts of the British Virgin Islands which are already published, and equally so in his surveys of the Danish islands, St. John's, St. Thomas's, and the numerous small islands and channels connected with them, which were shown to the writer by Lieut. Lawrance himself, and which, when published, accompanied with the numerous beautiful views he has taken, will leave nothing further for the navigator to desire ; but his surveys were not confined to these islands, for his field of action has extended over the West Indies generally, the Bahamas, the Gulf of Mexico, and other places, so that grief and regret be come the more acute, that a life so honourably and use fully employed should have so suddenly terminated. He leaves a wife and young family in Bermuda to de plore their irreparable loss." [PRICE SD. Amongst the list of officers whose names we acci dentally omitted as having attended the First Lord's levee on Saturday, was that of Lieutenant Griffith S . officer came over specially from Ireland to pay his respects officially to the right hon. baronet. It may be in the recollection of our naval readers that this officer was the last who saw Sir John Franklin at the edge of the ice, in July, 1845. Sir John Franklin appreciated the services of Lieutenant Griffiths so highly that he addressed the Lords of the Admiralty in the following manner in his favour : " Her Majesty's Ship Erebus, Whalefish Islands, " July 12, 1845. " The transport will sail for England • this day. I shall instruct the agent, Lieutenant Griffiths, to proceed to Deptford, and report his arrival to the Secretary of the Admiralty. I have much satisfaction in bearing my testi mony to the careful and zealous manner in which Lieute nant Griffiths has performed the service entrusted to him, and would beg to recommend him as an officer who appears to have seen much service, to the favourable consideration of their lordships. (Signel) " JOHN FRANKLIN , Captain." (Vide Parliamentary Return, March 21, 1848.) Since 1845 Lieutenant Griffiths has been employed on various responsible services connected with the Colonial office, the whole of which he performed to the satisfac tion of the Minister of the day, and we trust that Sir James Graham, in taking into consideration the claims of the many applicants for promotion, will not neglect those .f this very old and deserving officer. PORTSMOUTH, MARC!! 7. The Basilisk, 6, steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, got under weigh last evening Crum Spithead for Leith. The Hecla, 6, steam-sloop (reserve steamer), hauled out of the steam basin this morning, and steamed to the measured mile in Stokes Bay, under the direction of Capt. William H. Henderson, C.B. She took many turns at the measured mile with and against the tide, and having satisfactorily proved her boilers and machi nery, returned into harbour at noon. The Rolla, 6, naval apprentices' exercising-brig, Lieu tenant Commander Fenwick, hauled off from the dock yard jetty to alongside the Dryad, receiving hulk, where she will complete her arrangements for the summer cruise. The Sinbad, lighter, arrived last evening. The Drake, lighter, is loading with stores from this dockyard for the eastward. The Avon, steam-tender, Master Commander Veitc4, left this harbour at noon, and, having placed some men on board the Odin, steamed to the eastward with super numeraries. The Firebrand, 6 (paddle), Captain Hyde Parker, got under weigh this afternoon from Spithead, and will touch at Plymouth, with seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship Vengeance and supernumeraries. The Gorgon, 6 (paddle), has hauled over to the south side of the steam basin, to be masted as soon as the Ban= shee gets clear of the shears. The Cruiser, 16 (screw), Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas, received her powde r an d s h e ll s thi s morn i ng at Spithead, and awaits orders. The Northumberland, American liner, left St. Helen's Roads early yesterday morning, for New York. " Barbadoes Jan. 31, 1853. "If there is one thi ng more uncertain and less to be depended upon it is the arrival or departure of a Royal mail packet-boat plying between Great Britain and the West Indies. The packet only arrived this morning, and in consequence there is no time to answer letters, as the homeward bound closes immediately. "No doubt there is great anxiety amongst the rela tives and friends in England to hear something of the progress of the fatal fever that has consigned so many of our poor fellows to an untimely grave. Our loss up to the present time is 16 officers and 71 seamen and marines. There is now good reason for hoping that the worst is past ; indeed, that the fever has left us. There are only two cases now in hospital, and both of those are in the fair way of recovery, and we have not had a fresh case of fever for ten days ; and I dare say in an other ten or fifteen days we shall be on our way to Ber muda. The island is now generally healthy, and the troops are being sent into barracks. The portion of the crew of the Dauntless put under tents are still there, and will remain until the ship is ready to make a start for the northward." LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1853.

The extraordinary results of this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided ; no springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un attainable: and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert no agency on the chemically-prepared White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation. To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ; 22, Gay-street, Bath ; 34, Grainger-street, Newcastle-on-Tyne.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—What a change ! since the days of Chaucer and the Canterbury pilgrims ; then the trading metropolis of the universe had but few business Houses, and a small amount of trade. Look now at the increased popula tion, the intelligence and importance of all classes, which have claims in business befOre unknown. The purposes for which the gigantic Establishments of E. MOSES and SON were built have beep fully explained, and the manner in which business is there trans acted has proved " City improvements" highly satisfactory. These improvements E. Moms and Sox have carried beyond the boundaries of the City, the same priociples of business being pursued at their Branch, NEW OXFORD-STREET, corner of HART-STREBT. The money saved by individuals and families by patronising each Branch of E. Moms and Sox's business has been regarded as the greatest im provement of all. The telegraphic wires, which will soon connect each part of the City, is an improvement in the way of dispatch, and is illustrative of the speed and correctness manifested in all com mands given ;to E.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate apparently Intractable Forms. BY F. B. COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. "In prom of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases avid. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet tbo treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful," —Professor Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture. VURIOSITIES oB ELECTION riiIIBERY.—The earliest re corded instance of bribery at electiiMS is that noticed by Blackstone in his " Commentaries," when, referring to 1571, 13th of Elizabeth, one Thomas Longe: (being a simple man and of small capacity to serve in Parliament) acknowledged he had given the returning officer and others of the borough of Westbury 4/. to be returned member, and was for that premium elected ; but for this offence the borough was amerced, the member was re moved, and the officer fined and imprisoned. In one of Queen Anne's Parliaments, a gentleman of large pro perty, on becoming a candidate for a borough, ordered a small alehouse in the town to be opened in his interest. Boniface, thinking this a very proper time to make his fortune, when forwarding his bill charged the ale that was drunk at 3001. The candidate remonstrated and refused to pay, alleging as a reason it was impossible his house could hold that quantity, but, at the same time, to render him ample justice, proffered to pay for as much beer as the Douse would hold. This was agreed to, and a surveyor employed, but after measuring every corner of the house the surveyor reported its capabilities at no mere than 441. 10s. In the Shoreham bribery case be fore the House of Commons, in January, 1771, it ap peared the elections were there conducted by persons who called themselves the " Christian Club," and who met under the pretence of debating about religion, but in reality to settle the business of electing a member for their borough. Every person belonging to this club was sworn to secresy under a penalty of 5001., and whenever a member of Parliament was to be chosen two of the club were deputed to treat with the candidate, and he who bid most was always sure to be brought in ; but, immediately on this being intimated on the inquiry, the papers of the club were burnt to prevent further mischief. AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.—An extraordinary story is told by Captain Wallace) of a lover and his mistress, who were saved in a miraculous manner from the jaws of a shark :—" A transport, with part of a regiment on board, was sailing with a gentle breeze along the coast of Spain. One of the officers was leaning over the poop railing, conversing with a young lady who had inspired him with the tender passion. The fair one was in the act of handing a paper to her lover, when, overreaching herself, she fell into the sea, and, supported by her clothes, drifted astern. The officer lost no time in jumping in after her, and upheld her by one arm. The sails were quickly backed, the ship lay to, and prepara tions were made to lower the boat, when, the dismay of all on board, a large shark appeared under the keel of the vessel, gliding towards its victims. A shout of terror from the agonised spectators called the attention of the officer to the approaching danger. He saw the monster, at length, near him ; he made a desperate effort, plunged and splashed the water so as to frighten the shark, which turned, and dived out of sight. The cur rent had now carried the officer and lady close to the vessel, when the shark appeared a second time, and was in the act of turning on his back to seize the hapless pair when a private of the officer's company, who was in the hammock nettings, jumped fearlessly overboard, with a bayonet in his hand, which he plunged into the back of the shark, which, instantly disappearing, the three were saved before he dared to make his reappearance." THE WRECK OF THE IRENE.—The inquest at Liver pool on Wm. Reece and Richard Whitburn concluded yesterday afternoon. After a brief deliberation the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the men were drowned in consequence of the accidental upsetting of the barque Irene, accompanied with the presentment, recording the unanimous opinion of the jury that more assistance might have been rendered by the steam tugs Uncle Sam and Queen. _ [ADVERTISEMENT].—BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, o f Sunday next, March 13, will contain full and exclusive . reports of the Doncaster Spring Meeting, Salisbury Races, Kirkham, Wetherby and Henley-in-Arden Steeple-chases, Remarks on the Wat er l oo Coursing I Meeting, by "Tribune," Observations on Doncaster, and anticipations of Warwick, &c.

DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting thi s department of practice, he has been amply ran arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated have lcoe Eight . gh induced u c Alt t o place letters must faith contain in their the pretensions. fee o publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pret ended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who medicinemsecanforbecofonrswitiartadtelodntodaanilyyinfriotimaisEolrevadendrtessill Two, and from and medicines It t is desirable that patie n t s w i s hi ng t o cons ult Dr.an and LA'MERTadT ice should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION; A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resultinx from secret habits and excesses.

The Opinions of Turin states that Marshal Radetzky has ordered the Lieutenancy of Lom bardy to report to him on the property of the 200 principal inhabitants in each of the provinces under his jurisdiction. Emigrants, persons excluded from the amnesty, and those who have been allowed to divest themselves of the quality of Austrian citizens, are to be comprised in the list. A letter found on an individual who has been arrested proves that Mazzini was not in Tessino at the time of the insurrection at Milan. The letter is dated from Turin. GERMANY. The Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of Pesth, 28th ult., says :—" It is stated, not as a rumour but as a positive fact, that the day before yesterday the Provost of the fortress of Comorn was brought here heavily ironed, and lodged in the new prison. He allowed himself to be drawn into a conspiraCY with the state prisoners in that fortress, the object of which was to deliver up the place to the Magyars. The Commandant Field Marshal Simunich was to have been assassinated, and the small arsenal pillaged, in order to furnish arms to the liberated prisoners. One of the latter, being troubled in his conscience, discovered the plot by a letter which he addressed to a person high in office, and thus prevented the calamity." Great military precautions are taken at Nurem berg, and several arrests have been made at Mirth. The advantages which Austrian commerce will derive from the concessions made by Turkey are of great importance.
