SIR,-With reference to a paragraph on the subject of Rail ways, which appeared in the city article of your paper of Wed nesday, June 22d, and which sets forth that " it is the practice in Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and other large provincial towns to take the Purchaser's Acceptance at distant periods in payment for Railway Stock, and that some millions in amount of these Bills are in circulation," &c. &c. We, the undersigned Members of the Stock and Sharebro kers' Association, do declare that, as regards Liverpool, the statement is totally unfounded; that, as far as our transactions with Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, and other places have enabled us to judge, we do not believe that any such practice exists in any of those towns; that in Liverpool all bargains in Railway and other Stock are settled by CASH payments, and that time bargains are almost unknown.

Thomas Hanson, Esq., Birming m. rrIHE Llansannan Mines are situated in the parish of Llan sannan, in the county of Denbigh, and contain most ex cellent bodes of Lead Ore, mixed with a proportion of Silver. Several thousand pounds were formerly expended in driving Adits on part of the present take, and vast quantities of ore were raised without the aid of an engine; the parties who then worked the Mines could not obtain sufficient land to extend the work effectually, and it was in consequence discontinued. The Sett is now held of John Lloyd Wynne, Esq., John Lloyd, Esq., and Edward Grainger, Esq., for Twenty-one years, at moderate dues, and contains upwards of 5,000 acres. These Mines are now iu the hands of a few individuals, who, with a view of extending the very partial operations now being carried on, and of realizing the advantages held out by the re ports of the Mining Agents lately employed to inspect the same, have determined to reduce their Shares into Scrip, and have agreed to divide the undertaking into 8,000 Shares of £5 each, with a Deposit of £1 10s. per Share. to be paid as stated in the Rules of the said Company hereuyito annexed. he old undertaking, being divided into Sixteen Shares, the holders thereof have agreed to accept for every one-sixteenth share £3OO, with the addition of 1(X) shares in the extended un dertaking free of expense or future liabilities. No Steam Engine will be required in working these Mines, and great expense will be saved to the shareholders by their having in the onset only to pursue the edit levels already driven, the present undertaking embracing land both to the north and south of the levels formerly worked; although indications of trunks on other levels are numerous and decisive, and the threads or strings widen rapidly from about half an inch to six or eight inches, and the sample of Lead is of the first-rate quality; this, of course, will he taken advantage of by the present company in forming other levels. It is calculated that the average quantity of Lead raised from 'the level which the Company intend to pursue was from 100 to 200 tons per month.

" Quis Terabit." LIVERPOOL AND NEW YORK STEAM-PACKET COMPAN Y. Capital £200,000. in 10,000 Shares of .C2O each: rin HE object of this Company is to establish a S om munication between the Ports of Liverpool ew 1 ork. Its projectors have long entertained th st sanguine opi nions as to the success likely to atten such an enterprize, when liberally backed by public patronage ; and this, the pre sent prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will be the means of inducing, for it is a truism, that without its fostering aid all such associations must signally fail in the attainment of their object. 'Twenty years ago the idea was derided of successfully effect ing an intercourse by Steam between this country and Ireland. Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy of so contracted a view, as sci e nce, aid e d by wealth, perse verance, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing esta blishments nre in the most prosperous condition. The assertion, then, may fairly be hazarded, that Steam Na vigation, in the really efficient form it has assumed in the pre. sent day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the vast resources of those fertile, densly populated, and commer cially important districts of North America, (to which the ope rations of this CoMpany will b e di rec t e d,) by affording that superior facility of intercourse between them and Great Bri tain, for which Steam in other parts of the world has become so justly celebrated, and which, alike to the Merchant and the Emigrant, must be a matter of the most paramount interest. The projectors are justifiable in stating, (inasmuch as it is the expressed opinion of scientific and experienced men,) that, with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run out to New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in about Sixteen days. So quick a run by other means, it is believed, would be without a parallel. An ample supply of Fuel may be always calculated upon, as the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and boiler department (the invention of the scientific Mr. Hall) has caused a most extraordinary decrease in the consumption of that very important article. In order to disseminate as widely as possible the advantages likely to accrue from such an association as this, well, respect ably, and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for mation has been, that of dividing the shares into the moderate amount of Twenty Pounds each ; thus, not precluding the tradesman or small capitalist from investing in an establish ment which cannot hut augment the commercial importance of this enterprising community. The Company will be considered as constituted, as soon as bona fide applications to the extent of 5000 shares shall have been made. Five Shillings per Share will be required upon enrolment; and, in one week after Directors have been chosen, it will be necessary for Proprietors to pay £2 per Share into the Union Bank, to the credit of the Company. The remainder of the calls to be made as the direction may deem expedient, in sums not exceeding £2 per Share, and at periods of not less than six weeks between each call. The management of the Company shall be intrusted to Six Dire&ors, to be chosen by the Proprietors. Three of the-,P4- rectors to retire annually, but to be eligible for re-election. The holding of Fifty Shares to constitute the eligibility of a Director, and Auditors shall not be deemed competent to act as Directors. The usual means to secure Proprietors by the restriction of liability will be adopted. A Provisional Committee will be formed immediately, to whom all applications for Shares must be addressed, care of Mr. JOHN CHEYNE, Solicitor, Lord-street. Tr , It is believed, th a t t wo o f th e mos t spee d y an d p ower f u l Steaml , Ships in the Kiugdom can be chartered so as to enable the Company to commence immediate operations.

THE LIVERPOOL, ABERYSTWITH, AND DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY. Ina Patrons, Provisional Committee, and Bankers will appear in a future advertisement.] CAPITAL £lOO,OOO, IN 10,000 SHARES OF £lO EACH. nil HIS Company proposes to attain an object which has for YY years occupied the attention of many influential persons resident on the English Borders of the Principality, well as in the Principality itself • viz., connecting LlvE • opt. and DUBLIN with that delightful an incomparable wa ring . place, ABERYSTWJTH, situate in the centre of the cresce . t forming the Bay of Cardigan. To those who have visited Aberystwith, in , rsuit of health or recreation, it is needless to mention its , tiful transparent green sea, ever gently breaking over its m. r r inal boundary of curious, varied, and valuable transparent p: , bles. Its soft, salu brious air, its wild and magnificent scenery, delightful rides, and the respectful attention and kindness anxiously tendered by all classes in the neighbourhood, have in thirty years raised Abe rystwith to the very first position in the list of Fashionable Wa tering Places on the Western Coast, and thereby rendered it a place of considerable business. In 1805, the first Coach was established; in 1836, it maintains Forty Coaches weekly to all the Inland Towns, and a Mail Coach daily to London. It is proposed to establish a Steam Packet Communication from Liverpool to Aberystwith direct, and from Aberystwith to Dublin and back to Aberystwith. It will enable all three places to interchange, in a few hours, the produce of their respective markets, and connect more closely the business of the Southern Counties of the Principality with Liverpool and the Manufac turing Districts of Lancashire. The voyage to or from Liverpool will occupy about thirteen hours, from Aberystwith to Dublin about ten hours; thus ena bling visitors at Aberystwith to view the ELEGANT METROPOLI TAN CITY of the EMERALD ISLE ! one of the most beautiful in the world. _ _ _ _ _ _ .• These objects may be easily attained by two first-class Steam Packets, until the trade shall justify an extension of the opera tions of the Company. The capital of this Company shall be raised in manner fol lowing viz. :—One Pound per Share shall be paid into one of the Company's Bankers upon notice of allotment, together with 2s. 6d. per Share to meet the expenses of raising the Company, and all further call. (which shall not exceed £1 at anyone tuna, and of which 21 days .notice shall be given) shall be at the dis cretion-of the'Directors. The Company shall be considered formed as soon as 3,000 Shares are taken and the Deed of Settlement executed, and a meeting for choice of Directors shall be held at Liverpool on Tuesday, the day of July next, for the election of nine Directors ; four of whom shall be resident in Liverpool, three in Aberystwith, and two in Dublin; who shall have full power to conduct the business of the Company. Many Noblemen and Gentlemen are known to be very desirous for the accomplishment of the grand objects of this Company, it is, therefore, suggested that they may b ecome Patrons or Trustees without being Shareholders, and t hat a Subscriber of £5O and upwards shall be qualified for the former office, and be entitled to a Silver Ticket. Holders of five Shares to have one vote,—twenty Shares, three votes,—and for every ten shares above twenty, one vote in addition. In voting by proxy, no person shall hold more proxies than five, nor vote by proxy unless he is a Shareholder. All transfers of Shares to be under the hands of the Directors at a Special Board. The books of the Company shall be made up half yearly, and as soon as may be afterwards, a general meeting of the Share holders shall be held at Liverpool, when a balance sheet of the affairs of the Company shall be exhibit e d • ' and if at any time it shall appear that one-third - of the s ub scr ib e d capital shalt have been lost, the Company shall be dissolved, its affairs wound up, and the remaining Capital divided amongst the Shareholders.

Dated The Mayor of Aberystwith has called a public meeting of the inhabitants, to be held on the Ist July, to consider the best means of carrying this project into effect, and it is the intention of the Liver. pool Committee to arrive there the day before in a Steam-beat, chartered for the voyaye,•and they will take a limited number of Passengers. Apply to Mr. Bach, as abuse. Elie TLiberpool ,Stanbarti. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1836. By the Harkaway, which arrived in this port yester day, after an unusually short passage, we have received New Orleans papers to the 25th May. They contain what is called an "official report" of the battle between General HOUSTON, commanding the Texians, and Ge neral SANTA ANNA, commanding the Mexicans, in which the former claims a complete victory. The Mexicans are stated to have been about 1,500 strong, while the Texian army did not much exceed 700 men. The details are so replete with empty swagger that we cannot place the slightest reliance upon them. General HOUSEON says that his loss amounts only to 2 men killed and 23 wounded, while he rates that of the enemy to be 630 killed (no wounded!) and 730 prisoners, among whom are SANTA ANNA himself, General Cos, four colonels, six lieutenant colonels, a private secretary, and twelve thousand dollars in specie ! The report is altogether absurd and ridiculous. We have always considered it unfortunate for the cha racter of the newspapers that their management has been too generally under the control of a class of tradesmen of very limited means, of indifferent education, and equally narrow understanding. The onerous liabilities of the journals have probably conduced to bring about this state of things. It is too true that the press has been fettered, taxed, and degraded in a most shameful and oppressive manner. It has been so bound by penal ties and fiscal regulations, and exposed withal to so many serious and dangerous responsibilities, that few men of any property or respectability have had the courage to connect themselves with it. Where honourable and wealthy men are afraid to tread, those who venture, whether they deserve it or not, may expect to incur some odium. The House of Commons have always been jealous of the press. Both factions have sought its aid, and both have frequently conspired to shackle it. Whig and tory are both to blame in this respect, with this difference, that the latter never con cealed their absurd jealousy of its rising power, whereas the former, while professing to be its warmest friends, and calling a free press " the air we breathe," were ever its bitterest enemies and most unrelenting persecutors. The consequences of this combined jealousy on the part of the two great political parties have been that certain liberal members of parliament have hit upon a scheme which they think will destroy most effectually whatever degree of respectability still remains connected with the press. That their scheme will fail and recoil upon themselves we most firmly believe. They imagine that by reducing the stamp from threepence-farthing. to one penny they will be enabled to bring their puny ta lents to bear upon the politics of the day, and pick up a dismal living in those coffee•shops, taverns, and other places from which they are excluded at present. The stupendous orators and sages who make this sanguine calculation are at the best but scurvy politicians. They do not perceive that they are the dupes of their own va nity. They are so silly as to think that because they have obtained a seat in the House of Commons they are also able to fight their way to affluence and renown through the pages of a newspaper. We can tell them they never committed a greater mistake since they were born. Any coxcomb may jabber by the hour in the House of Commons, and, despite the nonsense he utters, the malignity he betrays, the laughter he provokes, or the "disgust" he excites, may still flatter himself that he is a human steamer of immense power--a BURKE in the form of a quaker—a CHATHAM revived in Jon ABSURDITY ROEBUCK! To talk is an easy task, and, as the house is at present constituted, any sort of talk is listened to, provided it have no reference to the subject under discussion and as little respect as possible to truth; but if these persons think that they can convert their parliamentary ribaldry into a saleable article by means of what they call a cheap press i they are only deceiving themselves. Depend upon it this is not the way to impose upon the public. Pro tected by the laws of parliament against any responsibi• rintr.o=tat , lity, its members may indulge in general invectives or personal scurrilities without any fear of being called to account ; but beyond the pale of the house it is quite a different thing. It is not petulance, it is not bluster, it is not petty snarling, it is not foul abuse, or a system of wholesale lying and misrepresentation, as practised by some members of the House of Commons, which can bp made profitable in an appeal to the public through the press. To reach any honourable position there it is in dispensably necessary that the candidate should possess superior talent. The few who have attained that posi tion are a proof that the necessary talent is rare. It is a kind of talent which most unquestionably is not pos sessed by any of the ambitious persons who hope to be nefit by a reduction of the newspaper stamp duty. Let us see who they are. If we mistake not, those who have most strenuously advocated a reduction, or, rather, a total repeal of the stamp duty, are members of the House of Commons, and their friends,who have endeavoured to make a living by the press and have failed. They have therefore the consummate impudence to blame the fiscal regulations of the newspapers instead of that natural dullness, blind ness, and instinctive stupidity with which GOD, for good reasons, has visited them. BUCKINGHAM, of begging and lecturing renown, has had his newspaper, and has written himself down. WAKLEY, the honourable and flaring member for Finsbury, started his newspaper, called it the Ballot, and very speedily was black-balled. Neither his principles nor his admitted talents could command the requisite support. BULLER, of Liskeard, is another of the unstamped—a would-be literary per son—but whose pretensions are only ridiculous. As a public writer he would be laughed down in a week, and„ if forced to seek a livelihood among the newspapers, the workhouse would be the inevitable result. ROEBUCK has also piped his penny whistle in political journalism, and has been, as Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH said of his (RoEßucK's) challenge to Mr. KEARSLEY, "smoked out." He has paid quite as much as he could afford for his folly. His threehalfpenny trash bad no admirers. Contraband articles generally bring a better price, and, consequently, a better profit than those lawfully imported; but, in ROE BUCK'S case, though his articles were contraband— though they were admitted by an infraction of the reve nue laws—though he had the advantage of the duty im posed upon the regular trader, still his smuggled wares would not sell—it was dear rubbish in a cheap form— Brummagem goods of tin passing for silver—but no pur chasers. ROEBUCK'S paper accordingly " went down." The members we have named do not stand alone. There are some twenty others who all aspire to be con ductors of papers under the new regime. JOSEPH Huhn himself actually imagines he can write ! FIELDEN, of Oldham, offers to do "political economy, and Weaving and spinning statistics," in THOMAS DUNCOMBE'S new Morning Fashionable Express for the operative classes. Our own learned member proposes to establish a paper, to be called The Law Reformer, for the benefit of the " intelligent classes" while walking in the serpentine paths of the new recreative promenades which are imme diately to be formed. Mr. EWART will be assisted in the more abstruse department by the author of the Town-hall proclamation, who threatens to fine " persons" who walk the streets " unmuzzled," and destroy their dogs if "un attended." But this is trifling. EWART and his law-traps, like . PUNCH and JUDY, are perpetually in the way. Let us brush by them as fast as we can. To kick down the one or upset the other can hardly be called a trespass. We have endeavoured to explain our views of this ra ther curious question by showing the narrow and selfish, but ignorant and mistaken feelings, which influence those who have dunned the government into this reduction of the newspaper stamp duty. Personally, we confess, we are under great obligations to them. We have in our ranks men who cannot see any thing but evil in change. We are not of that class so far as fiscal changes go, for we believe the present mode of taxation to be oppres sive, unequal, and unjust. With respect to organic changes, affecting any tower, or mound, or ditch, orland mark of our monarchical institutions, that is a very dif ferent consideration. We earnestly desire that the to ries should keep this in mind. Why should any one among them be opposed to the stamp reduction ? Do they fully understand the question ? Do they mean to say that popular fury will obtain an ascendancy by the change from sevenpence to fivepence in the price of a newspaper? Never was a greater mistake—never did they utter a grosser libel, in the cravenness of fear, upon the principles they profess. The present reform is in their favour ! Had the tories had their eyes open they would have accomplished the same reform more than twelve years ago, as we advised them. As it is we are content and thankful. Reflect for a single moment! See who the parties are who menace the tory prints, the old established papers, the machinery, the agents, the various literary and poli tical ramifications, which could not be purchased or re placed for an hundred thousand pounds. The most pro minent belligerent is this bebreeched housemaid to HUME, called ROEBUCK—called so simply because he is. the smallest deer in the radical park, or, as Mr. HASTY, the member for Paisley, calls him, the " musk rat of Ca nada." This small creature, as we have described, tried his literary powers upon a contraband journal. lie failed ! If then he (RoEnucx) could not gain readers by means of smuggling, what chance has he in fair trade ? None whatever. The animal has neither legs, pluck, teeth, nor brains. It did not succeed, as a literary costermonger selling rotten, ticketed as new-laid, eggs; and we may depend upon it that he and his faction have no chance 'in the open market. At any rate we are will ing to meet them, and are confident we shall beat them. Our excellent contemporary of London, the Standard, has very justly and concisely stated our case, conceding all, as its able and learned editor knows, that we have personally pressed upon him and others for several years, The reduction, as we alwas contended it would, will be a bonus in favour of the conservative press ! It requires some courage to believe that the document. which we subjoin is of British origin, or that its contents apply to the sons and daughters of want and infirmity who are the inmates of our English work-houses. But such is the fact; and if it do not. startle Englishmen from their slumbers and show the working classes the fetters that are forged for them by whig statesmen, and the gall ing persecution that is in operation against those who are poor, and those who may hereafter be reduced t 9 pauper ism, then is the cup of our national debasement full—our downfal at hand.

TO THE EDITOR Of? THE TIMES. Sir,—The following is an answer from the poor law commis' sioners to the petition of the clergy in the several parishes cow tained in the Eastry Union, in the county of Kent, requesting permission for the paupers in that union to have the liberty of attending divine service in the parish church. "TO THE CLERGY OF THE SEVERAL PARISHES IN THE EASTRY UNION. " Poor Law Commission-office, Somerset-house, June 9. " Gentlemen,—The poor law commissioners for England and Wales have had under their consideration your letter of the 180 1 of April, and also the letter of Mr. Randolph of the Bth'of the same month, urging that permission should be granted to th e paupers of the Eastry Workhouse to attend divine service in the church at Eastry. The commissioners have given to these letters that careful attention which the nature of the subject to which they relate, and the number and respectability of the par" ties who have made the communication, so justly demand. "The legislature having confided to the commissioners the important task of maturing and carrying into operation the workhouse system, they have devoted the most anxious atten tion to the devising of such regulations for these establishme nts as shall, on the one hand, provide for the poor a certain refuge from destitution, and, on the other, shall render these asylum s less eligible than the dwellings of the independent labourer, or of those who, by indupy and forethought, may secure to thew" selves a provision for their old age, and the commissioners have arrived at the conc l us i on th at th ese o bj ects cannot b e obtain ed if those wh o t a k e re f uge i n th e wor kh ouse are a ll owe d to its precincts and return to them again, unless they go out 0 1 1 : 11 ` the boots fide intention of procuring the means of suppo rt their own labour, or through the assistance of their relatives. "The commissioners, moreover, are satisfied that any relag e . tion of this rule, however plausible, and apparently unobie cti°ll , able, may be the grounds of such relaxation, will, notwithstandof iug the best devised precautions, lead, in a great n umber , cases, not only to irregular conduct in those to whom the indu unmi work gious have regal obsta fr o n 1 religi faller they tual labou a crii The Work tion s good are p to d e th e s bold( lacer than to till % 09 „, work °yen to be vide I famit t naini from ahe m gosp € *l.B p r are in kIEA) t IEtY and h th e w , In en c ThE *di ly CI t esor of th e th at h t owns Aloud °PPorl 48 bus bg bro A sap hki)v, 1.,1r N - fo r ti OA t ake w Of r , 3.; *114 11 . 1 r i val ! ! )iEtta(
