Report of Captain John Webb, on the Great Hewes Mine. Gentlemen,—This well-known tin mine needs no comment, being An f amous for tin. It ceased to wor k abut thirty-five years since. attempt was made some four or live years since to .resume working by some parties of limited capital, who drained the mine to the thirty '"x fathom level only, where the month l y r eturns were from seven to eight tons of tin per month, and embarrassing circumstances caused ab andonment. b elow engine shaft is sunk to a 126- fathom level, giving nine levels n'ow the thirty-six, to extend eastward into whole g round, where there is no doubt of making important discoveries. There is much tin ground throughout the various levels that will nv work to a profit, and was not valued is the old workings ; the hi ghest tribute then given was 7s. in the pound. A great quantity ° t ‘ tin the Per month m safely be calculated on in twelve months after engine and the necessary plant is fixed, which will fetch at this TO nearly 701. per ton. well-ere are great advantages for immediate working, viz.. a strong bailt engine -house, stack, smithery. carpentry, and other build -3 ; the engine -shaft timbered and well secu red to the thirty-six f athom level, besides several other shafts, which cost many thousands of pounds. 4. DtitCapital of 17,000/. to 18,0001. will place this mine in good re e and soon on the dividend list. The advantages over the last working, viz., the improved machi , mode of working, dressing the ores, the healthy state of the trade, are considerable. I can conscientio u sly recommend this ' C y _e 8t ment to my best friends, being fully persuaded that s hares will i7,7orth 100 per cent. (if the mine is well managed at surfac e and ''''erground) in twelve months after drained to bottom. Report of John Jenkins on Great Ilewas Mine. Agr:tably to your request, I hand you a Report on the abo ve dine The sump shaft is down 126 fathoms below the adit level, which 71111 eave thousands of fathoms of tin ground open for tributers to Ro rk on which can be worked from 7s. to 10s. in the pound, if the W ater is drained out. I , s l believe you could raise a great quantity of tin per month on the 0 7 1 . e that is open in the old mine. Looking at the lode east and west the old workings, I say, put up an engine of sufficient power in old house to fork the mine, which can be done with less outlay "?al some calculate. The house is up ; the sump is down; the teuder-road is complete to 36 fathom level ; a lift of pumps is stand its a cistern at this level (worth 100/.) An engine can be put up k n ll3 house, and the water forked to the 36 fathom level in three er 'l l the. At this level only you could raise from six to seven tons g 6, '''n Per month ; the levels in the mine are the —36, 48, 58, 66, 76, 96, 106, 116, and 126.-Las soon as these levels are draied of o n ater, extend them east and west on the lode, through the c n Jurses t in• The sump is down to a sufficient depth to work the mine for 4 Years, and not sink another lift. A 70-inch engine is sufficient for the engine —a steam stamps and whim will he required. I have s td ia the mine for seven or eight years, and in nearly all the e e n vel, . My opinion is. if the mine is worked in this way, she will he e of the best paying tin mines in the county. Report of William Ham on Great Hewas Mine. f.. 1 worked in Hewes Mine for many years during the time it was „ o ".nd 80 predu tive for tin, being one of the best tin mines in the ratrY ; but was worked in a most extravagant manner, and was tv a .. l g nearly 40 tons of per month when she knocked ; the price then low (about 401. per ton).

For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previOnsly been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. "I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. Wit AY be consulted, personally, of by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation itr manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes it existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary Oat all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without currier grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed to heyday of inconsiderate self-irdulgenee, how these penalties ,ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con• equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate coin- 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 till< det‘artment of practice, he has been am - ply pw anted by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which aro too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated pu'ilications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have Inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

To be or not to be, that is the question." On comparison of these two tables it will he seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, via., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 'idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary System, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. Tie can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards,. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the aargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fir his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. ,In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, Instead of having any fluid to fly to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too :3triking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits becomo widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a f a i r ra t e of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the lands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor I case of death. thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BA RANCNK WITH my BENEFITS Or AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF FO THIS COMPANY BRANCH.

This Company is formed for the purchase of land and development of the mineral resources of the Island of Ceylon. The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now ascertained beyond any doubt. The Island of Ceylon (with a population of about one million and a half) is known to possess a most favourable climate, and has long been famed for its valuable productions. It can be reached within thirty days from this country. The facility thus afforded fur the extension of its trade, the increased demand and enhancenient of value which will be secured for its varied products will, without em ering upon any detail, at once suggest itself to the most ordinary observer. Its commerce with England may be stated as in a state of tran sition, as there can be no question that the present year will exhibit a large increase. The affairs of the Company will be managed by parties who have had considerable experience, and are well ac quainted with the country and its people. Lands, known to the Directors of this Company to contain the best minerals, are obtainable by them at a very moderate rate in fee simple, and arrangements have been made for an efficient staff, to proceed forthwith to Ceylon to take the necessary steps for the immediate working of the Company. The minerals consist of Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, and Plumbago to a large extent, within a few feet of the surface. The facilities for working the Mines and the convenience of transit, coupled with the fact that labour can be had at a rate cheaper thin In any other country, form in themselves elements so highly favourable to the prospects of the Company, as to insure certain and permanent success. The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken from " Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's Government and parties in Ceylon, vide Blue Book, page 15, printed by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 t"—" Persons the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable feature in the export trade of the country." EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR J. E. TENNANT, LATE COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON. " Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively unnoticed in the interior." EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. URE. " Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret of copper and of copper pyrites from Ceylon, placed in my hands by Mr. Galbraith. as imported for The Ceylon Land arid Mining Com pany,' I find that these specimens are exceedingly rich, and vary in copperfro m for Ceyle ccoonnitpaolisiitinoena.rlyStowmoe-tohif two -s tl ix iat p m er ar c k e ed nt.

The Directors do not deem it necessary in this advertisement to offer other equally important extracts from reports and other docu ments in their possession, but they may be inspected on application at the Offices of the Company. The originals of the above, as also maps of the island, with speci mens of the ores, can be seen and prospectuses had, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 23, New Droad-street.

RUBBER as a lining to the ordinary gold or bone frame. 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 so 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.

INTERESTING TO NAVIGATORS.--THE FALKLAND IS LANDS.—Under-this head we find in a recent number of the New York Express the following remarks in refer ence to the Falkland Islands, now attracting so much attention in this country because of their exceeding eli gibility for purposes of transportation, when the dis patch of convicts to Australia shall cease. The im portance of these islands to Great Britain in a com mercial sense is strengthened from the fact of the rapidly increasing number of Australian vessels coming home by way of Cape Horn ; and, we believe, it is the inten tion of the proprietors of some of' our great lines of steamers to establish a coal depot there, in which case there will necessarily be a vast augmentation to .the advantages already* specified by our American excellent lle whichnt station, vessels of with every many good class may cotemporary, namely :—" For the inter es t o f A mer i can and other shipowners, whalers, and all other vesse l s , it cannot be too generally made known th a t th e Falk land Islands, off the coast of S out h America, and dw safeaff orarboanurs e, find supplies. Ships proceeding to and front the East Indies, China, or from the Pacific coast and Polynesia, round the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, will find, at the Falklands, the means, in ordinary cases of damage, of repair, supplies of provisions, &c., in short, all such stores as are required by merchant vessels. There are no port or Custom-house charges, whereas, all the South American continental ports, whether in Brazil or on the River Plate, the charges are very high, delays and vexa tions frequent, labour and the articles required for repairs exorbitant. But the most serious objections to the Brazilian ports, is the prevalence of a malignant yellow fever, particularly dangerous to the ship's com panies, on board vessels in the harbours. From these reasons, as well as from the conveniences and facilities afforded by the authorities, and by the new settlements at these islands, the number of vessels touching there has been very much increased, and will, no doubt, con tinue to increase in every succeeding year." INTERESTING NATIONAL MEMORIAL.—There has just been completed on Sonthsea Beach, Portsmouth, a very interesting memorial of the great Nelson. It consists of a superstructure of granite surmounted by an anchor, which belonged to Nelson's ship, the Victory, and which has kindly been given up for the purpose by the Board of Ordnance. The spot on which it stands is close to the King's Rooms, and is the place from which Nel son last embarked from the shores-of England. Th e cos t of the work has been def ra y ed b y Lord F. Fitzclareuce, Connander-in-Chief at Bombay, and late Lieutenant- Governor of Portsmouth. On the base is a plate bearing the following inscription : " Close to this spot embarked the hero of the Nile—alas, for the last time !—to take th e command of the British fleet that fou g ht an d con quered at Trafalgar , where our Nelson fell. This tribute of respect is placed in humble admiration of th e departedhero by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Lieutenant-Go vernor of Portsmouth." 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 slid SON werebuilt have been hilly explained, and the manner in which business is there trans acted has proved " City improvements" highly satisfactory. These mprovements E. Mosxs and Sots have carried beyond the boundaries of the City, the same principles of business being pursued at their Branch, NEW OXFORD-STREET, corner of HART-STREET. The money sav ed by individuals and families by patronising each Branch of E. MOSES and Sores business has been regarded as the greatest im iprosement 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 _whetherst in all com mands given to E. AIOSES and Soze these are for Attire, to Measure or ready made--for Waterproof Clothing or the easiest and most fashionable Sporting Dress—for Overcoats. Wrappers, or Paletots—for Juvenile Clothing, in the newest styl—for Hosiery, .B l o i o o t s s z a s n a d n d S ' s lo e ,: ,-; i t: e t hseu greatest e r lor quality ,, c iandCity improve meal e e. o n o -1 - I at ment," for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families. EMIGRATION. • London, to sail with the (nearly one hundred) vessels bound for the a c n h d a r C g a e p s 3 at o E Emigrants from every part of the United Kingdom are meeting in " Land ofGold" during the present month. For every Emigrant of these vast numbers a flrst•ra te Outfit is provided by E. price of all MOSE-la rticle a re- nd SON. The quality, su itability, and very low s quired by Emigrants insures to E. MosEs and Sole the first position as Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen, Merchants, Tradesmen, Mechanics, Farmers, or Gold -diggings. A separate department is kept for Outfitting ; and full lists of Oatfl for ladies and ongentlem posten, with Ship sailing information , may be had on applicati, or free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in mhave any instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that t he y No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER. HOllBll IN OR OIIT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London 'City E and 86, Aldgatstablishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories 83, £4,85, e, opposite the Church, all communicating., London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxfo-d-street, 1,2, ' 3, Bart-street, all communicating Bradford (Yorleahire) Branch, 19 and 20, Bridge-street. • Sheffield Branch. 36, Fargate.

All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, !atom which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.

A correspondence of great interest has just been pub lished regarding the establishment of the electric tele graph system in India. According to a nrinute from the Governor-General dated in April last, it appears that Dr. O'Shaughnessy, the Deputy Assay, Master at the Calcutta Mint, has constructed 82 miles of experimental lines with such economy and success as to in duce the Court of Directors in London to determine up on the formation of new lines to the extent of upwards or 3,000 and the PtLscoidmienecciets , th th e e va N ri o o r u t s h s -W eats est o e f rn aOi r e o rn vin m ees en, the Punjaub. In the report of Dr. O'Shaug u h s, n e et:7 e , which has been transmitted to the India Ho full details are given of the methods of constructio n he has adopted, and which Lord Dalhousie describes ak.s remarkable alike for their simplicity, cheapness, and perfect efficacy. The works already completed in volve lengthened river crossings (the Huldee and the Hooghly), and for these portions a gutta percha covered wire, secured in the angles of a chain cable, is employed, and is found to afford complete protection against the ,rappels of the heavy native boats which ince& alley pass up and down, and are often compelled to Jrag their anchors. It is, however, in the land portions of i'the lines that Dr. O'Shauf,dine , sy's methods present tl.`e •4 - reatest divergence from any that have been hitherto' used either in England or America. He uses no wire whatever, but employs instead a thick iron rod three eighths of an inch in diameter, and vveirrhin, one ton to the mile, while for supports bamboo sticks are adopted in place of the ordinary posts. The advantages gained by the rods are immunity from fracture by gusts of wind or ordinary mechanical violence, and the absence of ally necessity fix insulation, owing to the free passage which the mass of metal gives to the electric currents, while in point of expense they do not involve any increase of im, portance. They cost 101. per mile, and 21. 10s. for welding ; and this, it is stated, falls far below what would be expended on the winders, insulators, zincing, and straining posts absolutely necessary on a wire line. In experiments with wires they have been found to bel broken by every north-wester, while in the hurricane of 1851 not a single rod was damaged. The fact that they cannot be broken or bent withoutgiving great trouble, and requiring the use of smiths' tools, is likewise of the utmost importance in a country where the lines must not only traverse districts where they cannot be protected against idlers, but also wildernesses inhabited only by wild beasts. As regards the value of the bamboo, as com pared with the ordinary timber posts, the results are no less striking. _lt is not so durable ; but, allowing for the necessary replacernen4lts cost is still little more than a fifth of that for posts. It was at first employed only with a temporary view; bid the way in which it was found to resist the severest storms, which uprooted trees and levelled houses, soon led to the conviction that it was superior to any other material. In the hurricane of 1851, already alluded to, and which caused un paralleled damage at Calcutta, not a single bamboo on the lines was broken. "It was the realisation of the fable of the • bulrush and the oak ; the bam boo bent slightly to the hurricane, and rose erect when its violence had ceased." With regard to the instruments used at the stations, it was found that in a country like India, unless they could be reduced to such a condition of simplicity that when deranged they could be set right by mere school-boys, and with out the aid of a mechanic, regular and sustained corre spondence would be totally impracticable. Accordingly, after trying and discarding every English and American plan, and being reduced almost to despair, Dr. O'Shaugh nessy contrived a little single needle horizontal tele graph, which has since been in use at all the stations, and which works in all weathers without danger of in terruption. "It sometimes," he says, " becomes dis ordered, but it is changed, or replaced, ' or cured' in a few seconds by the signallers on duty ; and, if totally destroyed, is but the loss of 65." A battery of 12 to 20 pieces of platinum wire with zinc plates suffices to work the lines through the heaviest rain and most violent storms, and the total cost of a complete set of instru ments of every kind for each station, comprising battery, reverser, telegraph, and alarm, is less than 10/. Th e outlay for the construction of the lines themselves, in dependently of river-crossings has been at the rate of 421. per mile ; but, with the experience obtained, it would, for the future, not exceed 351. per mile for a single, and 551. for a double line. The revenue thus far derived from the 82 miles opened has exceeded the highest expectations. The monthly cost amounts to 921., and this has been almost exactly met by the re ceipts, so that the whole of the Government correspond ence has been conducted without charge. Under these circumstances, Dr. O'Shaughnessy considers that a double line along the valley of the Ganges to Alla habad, and vid Agra to Bombay, would yield a large profit, especially if the rate of 'barge were low and uniform, not exceeding 2s. for each message of 16 words, whatever might be the distance through which it is trans mitted. In the view thus stated Lord Dalhousie ap pears perfectly to concur, and he has expressed the " intense desire he has felt, ever since the first report on the subject was submitted to him, to see the main line of electric telegraph between Calcutta and Peshawur, Bombay and Calcutta, and Madras and Calcutta, fairly commenced before he quits India during the present year." This desire, it is to be inferred, will be fulfilled, the Court of Directors having, about four months back, given all the necessary orders here for the preparation and shipment of the materials for lines of 3,150 miles, leaving it to the Governor-General in Council to decide upon the precise routes that should be adopted.—Times. ',-- __„t-z_, • DIABOLICAL MURDER IN SOUTHWARK. A murder of a diabolical nature has just been dis covered in the neighbourhood of Gravel-lane, South wark, which has created great excitement in the locality. From a strict inquiry, it appears that about eight o'clock on Monday night last, as a little girl named Hannah Morley, residing at No. 6, Bear-court, Gravel lane, opened the street-door, she discovered a large bundle lyicg on the steps. She raised an alarm, and on the wrapper, which consisted of a flannel petticoat, being removed, the body of a young female child was found to be inside. The attention of Sergeant Golden, 7 M, was called, and the body was removed to the workhouse, in Marlborough -street. Information was forwarded by Mr. ICibblewhite, sum moning officer and parochial beadle of Christchurch, to Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, who gave directions for an autopsy to be made prior to the inves tigation. ... In consequence of this order, yesterday Dr. F. C. Jones, No. 174, Blackfiiars-road , proceeded to make a post-mortem examination of the body. He found the lungs of a bright and natural colour, and that they floated when placed in water, also that the left lung crepitated, and on the right were several dark spots, indicative that there the air cells, though formed, were not expanded, and which left no doubt in his mind that the child had lived some hours after birth. The body was fully deve loped, and the umbilical cord was left about a foot long, and not tied. The tongue, which protruded, was black, as were also the lips and nose, There was a contused wound on the right temple the size of a shilling, and on reflecting the scalp, eccymose blood was found under the wound. Dr. Jones says he was confident that the wound was the result of a blow inflicted before death. The case is in the hands of the police, and from the statement of a man named Henry Rowland, who lives at No. 3, Bear-court, it appears that a few seconds before lie heard the alarm on Monday night, a woman came to his door, and asked if a Mr. Braisley lived there. He answered in the negative, and at the same time observed a large bundle under the woman's shawl She went away, and hearing the alarm, he ran into the court, and ob served the only person there, excepting the inhabitants, to be the woman who had just before left the place, who was making a speedy retreat from the court without the bundle which she previously carried. This aroused a suspicion, and the woman was traced, and found at No. 8, Griffiths-rents, Bermondsey-street. She was conveyed to the station, where she gave the name of Margaret Duggan. The case not appearing suffi ciently strong against her, she was set at liberty, and watched home by the police, and up to last ni g ht s h e was under the surveillance of the officers, who are making every inquiry, incognito, to bring the guilty and unnatu ral offenders to justice. It is expected that for more safety the woman Duggan will be apprehended and placed in safe keeping this morning until the result of the inquiry is made known. There are strong circumstances of a grave and suspici ous nature against Margaret Duggan. The one is, that she had previously cohabited with the man Braisley, who lives at No. 1, Bear-court ; and the other, that there are at present two single females living with her at Griffiths rents, one of whom left her situation a short time since, under the pretence that she was suffering from a severe cough. Up to last night the warrant had not been received by Mr. Kibblewhite, an d i t is expected that the inquest will be held to-morrow afternoon.
