To the -Subscribers...residifigiu the neighbourhood of the Mine it would be superfluous to say any thing of its Lodes, because the eagerness with which they have taken Shares, and their de- . sire to obtain more, are evidence of their appreciation. To per sons residing at a distance from the Mine, it is necessary to state, that the Lodes are found highly mineralised, within even a few feet of the surface, and are in reality, a continuation of the same Lodes which have been, and still are, so productive in the Wheal Jewel, Wheal Unity, Poldice, Wheal Maid, Wheal Damsel, Wheal Gorland, and several of the Lodes in the north I part of the Great Consolidated Mines. These Mines have been for a long series of years, and still continue to rank amongst the most profitable in the country. I An Engine-house, adapted to a6O inch cylinder, is erected, together with the Counting,-house and other requisite buildings. • The Steam Engine is contracted for, to be supplied on or before the 30th September next, and in the meantime the Works on the Mine are progressing with the utmost vigour. The Tenure is a2l years' Lease from the Right Hon. the Earl of Falmouth, on payment of a fourteenth Dues, exempted from Poor-rates. A list of the Cornish Subscribers may he seen at the Com pany's Orrice, showing that most of the respectable Agents and superintending Captains of the great surrounding Mines have come forward in support of this Company.

CAPITAL, £60,000, IN 3,000 SHARES OF £2O EACH. THE sure test of experience has been applied to Joint Stock JL Companies with great and unqualified success, and the di rection of legitimate principles in their formation, and proper attention to management, have invariably produced results highly advantageous to all engaged in them. ' 7 In Lancashire two companies have originated within the last six weeks for the Manufacture of Plate Glass; and the avidity with which the Shares have all been take 4 up may form a safe criterion by which to estimate public opiticon. In both these companies it has been fudiciously decided, that a considerable 'portion of the Sh4res should be allotted to the principal Purchasers and Consul - 110a of that Article, in the dis tricts over which their business Might be expected to range; the remainder were apportioned to capitalists, who, by this in vestment, became entitled to participate in the advantages arising from a Company established under the immediate aus pices of those best calculated to promote its interests. It is obvious to all connected with the Trade, that the present juncture is particularly favourable for the establishment of a Joint Stock Company for the 'Manufacture of Crown and Flint Glass, and Glass Bottles; and the number of Shares already subscribed for by those who are immediately connected with the business is a certain intheation of their confidence in the advan tageous result of its operations. A similar Company has been fOrmed in Liverpool, (where the principles of Joint Stock Com panies have been fully developed,) with the must encouraging prospects. The remainder of the Shares in the South Lancashire Com pany are now offered to the Public, but applications will be re ceived only for a limited period, and subject to the following re gulations. The Head Office of the Company to be in Manchester. Messrs. HADFIELD and GttAvE to be the Solicitors to the Company. The Capital to consist of £60,0(10, in 3,000 Shares of £2O each, to be paid as follows, viz.:-ss. per Share immediately after the allotment; £2 per Share within Fourteen Days after the choice of Directors, at whose discretion the further Calls be made; but no further Calls shall be made until the Charter of Incorporation, according to the Statute has been obtained. The Directors to be appointed at the first General Meeting of the Shareholders. Every holder of" Twenty Shares or upwards to be eligible as a Director. The Board of Directors to consist of not less than Five Mem bers, who may apply for the Charter of Incorporation; Rent, Purchase, or Erect Works, appoint the Officers, Managers, or Servants of the Company, and, generally to Conduct and Ma nage its Concerns; but they shall be bound to exhibit a state ment of the affairs of the Company at a General Meeting of the Shareholders, annually, in the month of , which statement, and the books, papers, documents, and accounts connected therewith, shall be previously Audited by a Public Accountant, to he appointed by the Shareholders. At all General Meetings each holder of Five Shares to be en titled to one vote; Twelve Shares, two votes; Twenty Shares. three votes; and, for every Ten Shales beyond Twenty, one vote; and the votes may be given personally, or by written proxy, held by a Shareholder.

"These, 0 sinful pleasures, these are thy trophies—'tis thus ~ing with thi! frre-of God and man, thou degradest hu m nature, and blasteth the opening prospects of human fe. licity."—Br. A re. So said Professor Ssvedour, when he discovered his grand PANACEA for this Complaint. The "Hygean Pills." (then un known to the annals of medical discoveries,) as a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought lessness : never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and , intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. 'ffie certainty with which they were continually administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier. in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid uous poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser ho mows and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery— they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. The Hygean Pills may be depended upon as a cer tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, for when taken be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly. l'he deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger ous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey : their properties are such, that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent their due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend d,sily at his residence, N 0.54, Seel street, Liverpool, front Eight in the morning until Ten tit night, (on Sundays from bins till Two,) where he gives advice to all •applicants taking any of his preparations, WJTHOLT A FEE.

On Saturday afternoon, Betty !lowland, aged 46, who was tried on Thursday for the wilful murder of her husband, at Manchester, by administering poison to him, the particulars of which we gave in the STANDARD of Friday, was executed upon the new drop, at the hack of the county goal, at Kirkdale. Since the time of her condemnation the unhappy woman had the constant spiritual advice and attention of the chaplain of the prison, the Rev. Mr. Horner. But during no part of the time which intervened between the fatal sentence being passed up to the hour in which she was executed, did she appear fully sensible of the awful situation in which she had been placed, by the commission of the dreadful crime, for which she was about to suffer. She persisted in asserting her innocence to the last. She said she never intended to have taken her husband's life, and that the arsen7c which was put into the gruel given to him, was done by mistake. That she had tasted it before it was put in—that it was dark, and having no candle when she went to the cupboard to get it, she mistook the paper which contained it for sugar, and by this means occasioned the poor man's death. This account of the transaction she repeated over and over again, and maintained it as true to the last. Soon after seven o'clock on Saturday morning a large concourse of persons had assembled opposite the bark of the prison at Kirkdale, and in the fields round about, in expectation of seeing both the cul prits condemned on Thursday, executed. Shortly after eight, however, it was rumoured that the other prisoner, Berry, had been reprieved for a short time, and that the woman would not be executed till three in the afternoon. In cpnsequenee the greater part of the crowd dis persed, but several hundred persons remained loitering about till the afternoon. Precisely at twenty-five minutes to three o'clock Mr. f ir ehall, the under-sheriff, entered the prison-yard, and proceeded towards one of the rooms in the main entrance, accompanied by Mr. Amos, the governor of the prison, to whom he there delivered the death warrant and the Judge's order for the execution of the prisoner. The Under-sheriff, with Mr. Amos and two of his assistants, then walked to the condemned cell, where the chaplain was administering the sacrament to the wretched woman. In a few minutes she made her appearance, supported by two female attendants, and followed by the under-sheriff, the chaplain, Mr. Amos, and the two officers men tioned. The party proceeded across the yard to the press-room, a distance of about 150 yards, at a quick pace. The prisoner had not altered materially in her appearance since Thursday. She seemed to ~w al k with considerable ease and firmness, and ascended the flight of steps with little or no assistance. In the calendar her age is stated to be 46, but she must have been at least ten years older. It was ten minutes to three when the melancholy procession arrived at the press room, and the prisoner being seated in an arm chair, the rest of the persons present standing, the executioner immediately proceeded to pinion her arms and feet ; during this operation, upon being desired to stand up while her feet were being fastened, she got up from her seat without any one helping her and stood for about a minute. When she sat down she manifested symptoms of faintness, and half a tum bler of cold water was given to her, when she revived again and res sinned her previous composure. Tier eyes for the most part of the time were kept shut, and when open were fixed upon the object straight before her. She never turned her head about to look at any person. Upon the chaplain asking her if she felt comfortable in her mind and was prepared to die She replied, in a feeble tone, " I trust in God my Saviour for mercy and forgiveness." Nothing more escaped her lips for the few moments she had to live afterwards. The rope, cap, and other preliminaries being adjusted she was led across a temporary stage erected from the press-room to the drop, and at one minute past :ishe was placed directly under the fatal beam. She (lid not appear to notice the vast multitude of persons before her, and her hack was immediately turned towards them. The cap being drawn over her fare, the chaplain, in a solemn and impressive manner, com menced reading the burial service. At this time the utmost silence and attention prevailed. Every eye was anxiously cast upon tbe per-, son of the unfortunate woman, who sto id without any support ex cepting her right hand gently resting upon that of one of the attend ants. At eleven minutes past three, the service being concluded, the chaplain having closed the book, and being just about to ratire from the scaffold, the bolt was withdrawn, and in three minutes more the unhappy woman ceased to live. There were from eighteen. to twenty thousand persons present, among whom there could not be less than seven thousand females (to their shame be it recorded) all apparently of the lowest Oaks of so ciety. In several parts of the crowd the most disgraceful proceedings were going on. Fighting, playing, at pitch-and-toss, swearing, jesting upon the solemn spectacle they were about to witness, were to be seen and heard in difierent parts of the assemblage. EXECUTION AT GLOUCESTER.—Mine preparations were making At Kirkdale, on Saturday, for the executio❑ of Rowland, a similar PX.. hibition took place at Gloucester, where Harriet Tamer, a young wo man, only a years of age, was also executed for the murder of her husband by poison. In this case the culprit, after conviction, eon• fessed her guilt. It appears that she mixed a quantity of arsenic with some rice pudding which her husband etc, and in consorptence died, after autTeri sevc , ralktirErusad excruciating torture. `"a. feel himself interested, experience every day furnishing addi• tional proofs that nothing but effective competition from the interior of the kingdom can insure to the lluuseholders a Lon. don a regular and steady supply of Coal at inadera;e prices; perhaps it is scarcely possible for the most sanguihe miod to form an adequate conception of the benefits that would result front enabling the Midland Coal Proprietor to compete with the Northern Proprietor in supplying London with Coal. Mono poly would be rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and tree and active competition completely secured. By the pro posed route Staffordshire Coal can be delivered is the City Basin at prices, varying in quality, from 15s. to 20s. per Ton. With a view to render this concern as extensively useful as possible, the slates of Tonnage will be low, and thus command that great mass of business which invariably follows moderate charges. Manure and Road Materials will be permitted to pass at low rates. Wharfs will be provided where the Canal will intersect main thoroughfares, and every encouragement be afforded to the free developement of the energies of the Districts through which the Canal will pass. The proposed Navigation will possess all the improvements of the best modern Canals; where tunnelling is necessary, two tunnels, with a towing path under each, will be made; the sides of the Canal will be walled ; and the greatest of all modern im provements, the double towing path, rill be carried throughout the whole Line. Confident in the superior cheapness and convenience of Wa ter- Conveyance, (particularly as regards raw materials and heavy commodities,) the promoters of this undertaking have no hesitation in submitting their plan to the public , in th face of the numerous Railways now in course of formation, every day in their judgment furnishing further and satisfactory proof that, though Railway Conveyance may be preferred for passengers and light goods that require despatch, and will bear high rates of transist, the great hulk of the trade of the country will still be carried on through the medium of cheap navigable com munications. The calculations as to the revenue being founded on indispu 7 table data, the promoters of the measure have no hesitation in stating that the prospect of remuneration is in the highest de gree encouraging; .and that if due consideration be given to the merits of the proposed Line, to the great extent and sim plicity of its levels, to the superiority it will possess in respect to distance and lockage, to the well-ascertained fact that a full sup ply of water can he provided, the conclusion will be fully war ranted, that in a short time after its completion this really grand internal communication will yield such a return as will entitle it to be classed amongst the most productive and successful un dertakings or the kind iu the kingdom. According to a mode rate estimate, full Ten per Cent. will be realized By the proposed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirty-two hours, instead of seventy by theexisting route.

Proprietaiy k intended to consist of Pies iiandred Shares of Filly Pounds each, bearing interest at not more than four pounds per cent. per annum, and every Proprietor is to have the privilege of nominating to the School one pupil in respect of each share he may hold ; such shares not to exceed four in number. The advantages of such a School as the one now in contem plation may be briefly summed up as follows :—Admission to it can only be obtained through the recommendation of a Pro prietor; this insures respectability, at least, in point of station and moral conduct on the part of the pupil, and is thus a pled to the Proprietors, that none will be admitted as associates of their children at school who are not also worthy of being their associates in the world at large. In addition to this, all the arrangement regarding the expenses of the institution will be placed under the control of a Committee of Proprietors, whose obvious interest, as well as duty, it will be to see that its finances are regulated with a due regard to economy on the one hand and the comfort of its inmate on the other. To this Committee the School will be always open for their inspection and super intendence. Liberal salaries will be assigned to the several Masters of the institution, thus securing the services of teachers of the highest ability. The first and second ma s te rs will be graduates - of one of our English Universities—men, therefore, who have themselves been disciplined on the soundest system and the most approved principles of instruction, and who have had their own proficiency tested by examination before the most competent judges. 'the head master will be a Clegyinan of the Church of England; a gurantee that the pupils will be trained in such principles of faith and morals as are oft cherished by her members, and the least obnoxious to tho . who differ from her; and the pnpils will be at all hours der the care and superintendence either of their masters .r of their parents and guardians, by which they will be • vented from contracting those evil habits during their ho of relaxation, which are but ill compensated by the most sfactory progress in mere learning and science. Such a.. tional branches of instruction will be from time to time intro used into the institu tion as the progress of knowledge or the necessities of the pupils may seem to require: so that there will be no occasion for the scholar to change his school between his first admission and his entrance upon the duties of active life. Such are a few I of the advantages which it is sought to secure to the rising generation, by the establishment of a Proprietary School. The design may be said to he altogether new, for those as yet established upon a somewhatsimilar plan are merely day schools, whereas it is contemplated in this institution to combine together the advantages of domestic and scholastic discipline. This de sign, so far as it has been promulgated to the Public, has hitherto met with the most decided approbation and success ; and there can be no doubt, that as soon as the principles on which it is founded are understood, parents in general will hasten to take advantage of the benefits which the system holds forth to them —a systemuuiting economy with comfort, and sonnd instruction in literature and science, with the accomplishments and'graces of arts and manners. An eligible situation for the School has been secured at Dids bury, about five miles froM Manchester, in an healthy and de lightful situation. As it appears desirable that the advantages of the School should be extended as widely as possible, the co-operation of individuals favorable to its objects in the adjoining districts and neighbouring counties will be welcomed by the Proprietors. Application for shares to be made to WILLIAM SEDDON, Esq., the Honorary Secretary, at the office of Messrs.

PROSPECTUS FOR FORMING A JOINT STOCK COMPANA' FOR THE PURCHASE ANr IMPROVEMENT ADJOINING THE BRUNSWICK DQ TO BE CALLED TUE " HARRINGTON,DO, CAPITAL £200,000, IN SHARES LAND COMPANY." r. ZIOO EACH. A BOUT 140,000 Square Yards of FIIEEHOLD LAND, lA_ with a River Front of upwards of GOO Yards, adjoining the Brunswick Dock, offers many inducements for the safe and profitable investment of 44(44 This Land has recently passed from the original Proprietor (the Earl of Sefton) to the present possessors, who are willing to part with it on liberal terms to a Joint Stock Company. From recent Surveys by an eminent Engineer, (Mr. Jesse Hartley, Surveyor to the 'Dock Estate,) it is expected that, by a judicious outray on the Property of less then f.:50,(X)0. in the construction of a Canal or Dock, with Wharfs. &c., now so much wanted, and having at all times the convenience of a Wet Basin, with powerful Cranes, &c., would produce almost immediately a large and profitable return. It is probable a further quantity of Land might be reclaimed by the extension of the river wall beyond the line already marked out on Mr. Hartley's plans. Independently of the purposes to which this Land can be ap plied (in the construction of wharfs, &c.) for the reception and shipment of Timber, Slates, Coals, Iron, &c., it will be well adapted as a Site for Warehouses on the margin of the Dock, whereby the great charge for eartages will be much curtailed, the river front possessing great advantages for Ship-builders, Engineers, Lime Kilns, &c., its immediate connexion, under an existing act of Parliament, with the Royal Rock Ferry, greatly enhances its value and future importance. These advantages, added to the difficulty of obtaining Freehold Land so situated, together with the rapid and general Improvement of Property about LiverpoOl, and particularly in the vicinity of the Docks, seem almost certain guarantees of a great ultimate return to the Subscribes in this undertaking, which is based on a real se curity not always the attendant of Joint Stock Adventurers. Plans and descriptions of the Property (with Mr. Hartley's estimate of the outlay) may be seen at the Office of Mr. JonN NORTH, Exchange Alley, Solicitor to the Company. A deposit of £lO per Share on the Allotments must be paid into the Bank of Messrs. LEYLAND and BULLINS. Applications for Shares, (under seal,) addressed to the " Provisional Committee of the Harrington Duck Company," to be left at the, Office of Mr. RICHARD DAWSON, Exchange alley, until the 20th instant, after which no application will be received. The. Capital will require to be paid up in calls of £lO per Share every three months, fourteen days' previous notice being given, and in default of payment the Shares to be forfeited by order of the Committee to be chosen at a public meeting.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1836. What a hash set of people must the reformers of the town called Nottingham be ! We read that a procession of " lace makers, sinkermakers, and needlemakers" went out of that vile town the other day to welcome the Irish beggar, and listen to his stale lies about "justice to Ire- • land." Now, what is a "sinkermaker Y" We can fancy the quantity of brains necessary to make any animal art accomplished polisher or pointer of needles or pins, and we have an idea of the human machine which assists the other machine in making lace ; but what is a sinker maker? A stitcher of a button-hole is supposed to re quire only the ninth part of an idea to enable him to earn good wages; but even this paucity of intellect ne cessary in the journeyman tailor would he absolutely wasted upon the borer of needle eyes, and who never did a ny thing since he was born but bore needle eyes. He who never worked at any other handicraft, and could not earn a livelihood at any other handicraft but that of making pin points or pin heads must have a rare head of his own. The poor squirrel which turns the wire tread mill is quite as respectable in the scale of creation, nearly as intelligent, and by no means much less useful. It was questionless by needle-eye and pin-head crea tures of this calibre that O'CONNELL was met, fed, a nd - • cheered at Nottingham last week. We have uniformly remarked that where quakers (whether of the moist or dry order makes no difference) obtain any ascendancy in a town, the inhabitants are the meanest, poorest, least intelligent, and most discontented of the people of Eng- . land. This, we believe, is the case with Nottingham. The drab there is the cloth in fashion. Old HOWITT is a sort of king, and on this occasion he forgot his cant about "cruelty to animals," and went in state, in " a very ele gant barouche, drawn by four white horses," to meet the Laird of Darrynane—the Lord High Protector of big Majesty's ministers ! • When such a man is held in esteem by the mob, we • •H. may easily guess what a degraded mob it must be. We . • see further proof of their thorough baseness and dege neracy in the fact that they have not in the whole town a • • man whom they deem fit to represent them in parlia ment. They have no faith in each other, because the pin-head and the sinker-makers consider their leaders to. be not one whikrance, intelligent thantlentseites,,....TheY—'' have imported Sir RONALD FERGUSSON front Scotland • and Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE from amid the rotten cab bages of Covent Garden to protect the lace points a nd the needles and pins in parliament. It was natural, per haps, that they should choose Sir RONALD, seeing that be never had represented any respectable constituency. Ort this ground he was admirably qualified for Nottingham• Sir JOHN CAM had been drummed out of Westminster , - .and pelted by the first-chop radicals of the Seven Dials as an apostate—as a man who had sold his principles for place and pelf—and, consequently, he was quite good enough for the second-chop radicals of Nottingham. Sir , • Jous CAM is a splendid specimen of an ultra reformer in• whig livery—a non-flogging radical wielding the lash when secretary at war ! _ , The simple fact that Nottingham is so represented de monstrates how very far down the bobbinet people, th e mitten-men, the pin-head birds, and the sinkermaker S, stand in the scale of independence and civilization. men:to be ridden, as the proverb says horses are, whe n ridden by beggars.
