A.1,78YN is situated in the Parish of Crowan, in County of - Cornwall, and held on a Term, of which twenty years are unexpired. It is in the midst of en immensely rich Mining District, bein g in the vicinity of Binnar Downs, Relistian. Copper Bottom, Wheal Vor and Great Work, Pol cretrow, Carn Brea Mines, and many others too numerous to mention. Yet notwithstanding such advantages, the Proprie tors are desirous that WesT Sr. A CBYN be valued only by its own present worth and apparent prospects, which, if not sur passing, are considered at least equal to those of anY. Mine. in the County of Cornwall, however r ch, at the same depth. But, without further remark respecting the value of Mine, Capitalists, especially those who may not have the means of inspecting her, or of getting it done for them, are respectfully referred to the annexed Letters, from well known experienced Mining Agents, who have not the least interest in the Mine in any way, men of high character add acknowledged integrity—Captains Alexan der Teague, Nicholas Langdon, James Southy, and James Front, agreeably trs, whose recommendation the sinking of the new Shaft, so as to cut the Great Tin Lode 15 fathoms under the present level, is already begun, and in course of prosecution. Although the nominal Capital of the Mine is £6,000, yet it is confidently expected that not one quarter of that sum will be expended (except for materials) before the Mine will be yield ing immense profitsi and therefore ,it is hoped that no call will be made after the Deposit of ss. per share, except for the pur chase of materials, especially a Steam Engine to draw the water from the Mine, and to stamp the Ores, of which considerable quantities might be raised even from its present shall-y level, so as to give immediate profit to the Proprietors, if there were a Steam-stamps erected for crushing the Ores, as may be seen from the annexed Letters. I'o meet the supposed expense of the Mine, and secure a fund for the erection of a .Steam. Engine, and the purchase of the necessary materials, it has been determined that a Capital of £G,OOO be raised, in 6,0(J0 shares of £l. each; towards which a deposit of.ss. per share has been paid, and a further instalment of ss. per:share is to be paid on the 2 I of January, "1837; before which tunejit is supposed, the Great Tin Lode will be cut at the twenty faihotn- level, and, therefore, the erection of a Steam stamps is-necessary, in order to facilitate the making of returns. But no further call is to be made until authorised by a Special General Meeting of the Shareholders to be co.nvened for that purpose an,.month's notice of which"to be given in two Cor nish, two London. and two Liverpool newspapers, viz. :—The Mining Jitspol,,The Watchman, The 11 - e4 Briton, The Cornwall Gazette, atathe Lt VERPOOL STANDARD, and Journal; The next General Meeting of the Shareholders to take place some time in December (notice of which will be given in the above newspaperi), unless sooner called for by sonie unforseen exigence, ot by a majority of the Shareholders; when the ac counts shalt be inspected, and when, if required by the meeting, two or more Director; shall be elected, who in conjunction with the Managing Agent, shall have the conducting of the opera tion of the Mine.

Since the publication of the original Prospectus, the Mine has been examined by the under-tnentioned parties (referred to above), and from their highly favourable report the shares are now at a premium of two pounds. A few hundred shares aie now offered to the Public, and as it is confidently expected that the next report will occasion a large addition to the premium, an early.application will be necessary to secure them. The addresses of the Examiners are attached to the Letters, that persons wishing for inure extended information may refer to them; upon enquiry being made in the neighbourhood, they will be found men of long experience and known integrity, and that the prospects held out to the Public are much inure limited than the present appearances would justify. Liverpool, Sept. 20, 1836. C. J. WESTLEY, Broker. Richard. Stephens, Esq. West St. Aubyn, 30th June, 1836. .Sir,—Agreeably to your request, we whose names are here unto subjoined; have this day inspected West St. Aubyn Mine, and now send you my. joint opinion of present appearance, and the manner in which we reemnineud your future method of working the said Mine, so as to explore as tnu:h of the Lode as can-be on. the least expensive scale. We conceive the Sett to he a valinible one - , having, we believe, upwards of 500 fa thoms in length, on the course of the large fin Lode; which Lode: is- worthy-of notice, its component parts being such as indicate its being a Tin .Lode of such strength as not to be in . jured by any change of Strata that may take place in depth. We were not a ,little suprised to find at the present working shaft, which is only about five fathoins deep, a Lode varying from three to ,fotir. ket over, or in breadth, on the course of which about sixteen Wheals have beets driven at the bottom of the said shaft, on the 'average worth about £7 10s. per fathom. We do not recollect: eter seeing,a Tin . Lode so regular in size, and Making on the north-and south walls tro regular at only five fathoms from the•itirfilte.. Its Underlay, about five feet in the fathoM, wecousider i , good underlay. We agree in the opinion, that you should at once increase your number of workmen, by putting .nine men. to 'sink a new shaft, south of the present shaft, so es totake the Lode at twenty fathoms deep, the said shaft to be eight feet long by five feet wide, so as to hdre room for drawing the water by Whim Barrels, and drawing stuff at the same time if necessary, and also for a, footway. We'strinigly:reconimend your doing this without loss of tiike, as the:summer season is the best time for accomplish ing such an Object. It you are fortunate• enough to cut the Lode in this new shaft(as we have every reason to expectypros perous, we they .would say, erect a Steam Engine for draining the said Mine, auvi for stamping of crushing the Tin stuff, by doing which you will save. in carriage to water-stainps, &c. a very considerable sum. We also should not omit saying, that the inclination of the surface to the west of the said shaft is favourable for Metal; this we have observed, in thecourse of our practice as Mine Agents, in some of the most. 'extensive Min-es.in this County. We are, Sir, your most nbeiiient Servants, .(Sigued) ALEXANDER TEAGUE, NICHOLAS L.A.NGDON, JAMES SOOT HY, JAMES PROUI. • Richard Stephens, Esq.

If there were a Strain:stamps erected on the Mine, you m i g h t return large quantities of Tin, even in this natant state of the Mine. And I think- the Lode, when it is explored dawn in settled 0-round, will he found more productive, arid the Tin, that is now scattered throughout .the Lode, will be collected into a settled leader, and. produce .rnare Tin iu a less quantity of work. . - • • . • I never saw the large Copper Lode that you say is about one hundred fathoms to the north of the great Tin.

That this - Meeting, viewing with admiration and surprise the beautiful plan, which combines in itself more of use and advantage to the public at large than perhaps any other ever brought before it,. and which; taking advantage of the facilities afforded by nature maw most unlooked fur position, will lay the foundation for a Port at the entrance of the Thames, which will, in all probability, by the increase of commerce and population, become of as much importance to London as Liverpool is to Manchester and the large manufacturing towns of the north, and feeling that such a project could not have been matured without considerable time, talent, and labour, the meeting therefore begs to offer its best thanks to the Provisional Com mittee who have so successfully obtained a bill for such a work; and that the sum of £501.1 be presented to them as an acknow ledgment for their past services, to be applied in such manner as they themselves shall think fit. 4. That iu consideration of the labour and trouble the Pro prietors anticipated from the Court of Directors in the execu tion of the works and attention to their interests, the sum of £l2OO annually be placed at their disposal, to be applied in such manner as the Directors themselves shall think fit. The Chairman returned thaaks on the part of the other Di rectors and himself, and said, that they having anticipated the probability of some similar proposal, had concurred with him self in an unanimous resolve, that while they would gladly and with pride accept the remuneration which the Proprietors might propose, they must be all Owed to do so upon an express condi tion, that until the works shi,uld actually begin they should ' re ceive nothing ; it being sufficient for them when tha t - be g inning should be made, that the grant should be accepted as voted , which was friim the present day. .

CHURCH PART6RAf. Ain SOCILTY.-0a Thursday evening last a puhiic meeting was held at the Music-hall, Newcastle, tor the purpose of torii4ng a local auxiliary association to this in valuable institution. Lon; before the time appointed for taking the chair the room *as crowded to excess, and the most intense interest was evinced in the proceedings until the close of the meeting, at half-past ten in the evening. On the platform (which was crowded with auditors) besides the Bishop of Chester, a great number of reverend gentlemen were there; and, besides those who were present, a great number of both lay and clerical friends were, from the unavoidable shortness of the notice, prevented from being present. The Vicar of Newcastle was called to the chair. A variety of resolutions, expressi v e of the objects of the association—" to employ all suitable means to extend the influence and increase the efficiency of the church of England" —were agreed to, after having been warmly support ed by the rev, gentlemen present. The utmost enthusiasm and ardour in the cause pervaded all the speeches delivered, and a large sum was collected for the purposes of the society. A great sensation has been caused in the village of Tovil near Maidstone, by a tragical. event. The deceased is the second wife of a man named Covis, who is of a fierce and vio lent disposition. Three weeks after their marriage it was reported in the neighbourhood that she was heard to cry out " murder," in consequence of his violent ill treatineet, and it is also said he had often threatened to murder her. On Satur day se'nnight the deceased went into Maidstone and purchased some meat, which she carried home and cocked for her hus baud's supper. After supper they went up . stairs to bed, and shortly afterwards the neighbours heard cries of distress pro- Ceeding from the house, as well as struggling and heavy fall. A number of persons collected round the door, which they burst open, and found Covis, ready to receive them, who threatened to knock down the first who attempted to enter. He, in fact, carried his- threat,, into execution, hut several other persons rushed into the house, and the poor woman was found at the bottom of the stairs, apparently dead. Being raised in the arms of one of the persons who had entered, she sighed once, and - iiistantly expired. The inquest was held on Monday even ing, at th e R oya l P aper Mill, royil, but there were so many, witnesses to examine that it. was adjourned.---Marning Her aid. Hay. DR. COiAL.-.•-At the close of his eloquent speech at the Protestant Meeting, held at Glasgow, on Wednesday. night, Dr. Cooke made th e following remarks on the influence of in dividual exertion in the cause of Prot es ta n tism:—" L e t me conclude by pressing, upois you tine consideration. . No man knows what ene-man can do. There was a glorious city, the seat of . a monarch, - where he was surrounded by his nobles and his councilbrs, having in their hearts the purpose to strangle infant Protestantism. On the main street of that city there appeared an old mati, With a long grey beard, streaming down his venerable breast, and grey hairs waving on his brow—one arm supported on a staff, and the other leant upon a servant. Bilt au observaet man marked him, and ran down to where the Council was sitting to check the career of Protestantism. He made his way into the Council and exclaimed, ' John Knox is come r The Cotincil took the alarm. John Knox was come indeed! He mounted the pulpit--the plaided Scotsmen ga thered around him. The fire of his eloquence communicated itself to their previously cold hearts, and the power of Divine truth to their doubtful understandings—Protestantism rose in its power—Scotland rose in het majesty and might—and Pro testantism triumphed 'by the return of a feeble old marl."

THS SUPPER AT THE MANCHESTER FANCY BALL.—The condition of some of the parties, and the general tone and ges ture in the neighbourhood of the banqueting-hall, we can only compare (of course with many individual exceptions) to the scene which meets the eye of a curious visitor to a menagerie shortly before "feeding time." There was the same nervous movement nbreit'.the face—the eyes looked eagerly, after , the fashion of the dumb part of the creation—and ever and anon those who were nut eo near the slams as lobe within reach of the goal of their expectations and their hopes, walked hurriedly to and fro, doubtless excogitating on the havoc that was going for ward within, and sighing mentally at the thought that of thi s dainty none would be left for them, and of that there would scarcely be a visible crumb. Uuhapily this was but too true a foribodiug„, for the expectants have at length reached the supper room, and the fragments which lie about the tables tell them that the caterers have been so foolish as to place on the table at the outset all the choicest dainties, to be devoured by those first corners who always may he set down (from the fact of their being first • comers): as the most capacious in their interior ar rangements. There were devoured no less than 2,000 veal pies, 2.000 saudwiches - ;•51 - 101bs.. of grapes, 65 pine-apples, 25 bushels of plums, apples, and pears, 65 pieces monies, 250 quarts of jellies and creams, 200 quarts of ices, 200 dishes of pastrv,.so diShes of - envoy cakes, 2. hogsheads of. sherry, 2 hogsheads of piirt, hogsheads of nexus.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. ( Front the cerrespontlencol of the Morning Herald.) ACTIONS . .OF THE 13rit ANDI , IT.it OF SEF,FEZIBER BA YONN E, SEPT. 20.--On the morning of the I.3th General Oran marched out of Mendahia with a column of 50(X) infantry. and 300 cavalry, together with two pieces of artillery. He pro ceeded to' LoS Arcos, which placed he reached, having been subjected on his march to a constant fire from guerrillas, which did turn little harm. He immediately resolved to detach a body of 2000 infantry to the heights of the Hermitage of San Grogorio, which were in the possession of the Carlists; and which were de fended by the 6th battalion of Navarre, and 250 of the Algerine deserters. The attack began by the Christinos sending on seve ral detatehments in front of the force under cover of their fire. These detatchtnents were repulsed by the Carlists. The engage-. ment soon became general,'the voilies being sustained in turn by the companies for nearly Iwo hours. The determined con ral:ce of the sixth battaliou of Navarre, and the Algerines, how ever, compelled the Christinos to cease the attack. and to re tireto Los Arcos, leaving 30 dead on the field; their wounded amounted to BO men. Tire Carlist loss was 20 killed and 60 wounded. The Christinos pillaged on the same day, several houses, which had been deserted by their occupants (00 the ap proach of the troops,) who had fled to the mountains. On the 14th Oraa marched with his columns towards Arroniz, where the Carlist General Don J. Garcia was stationed with the Ist, 2d, and 3,1 battalions of Navarre Guides; the 4th reformed, and the 7th, 9th, 11th, and 12th regiments, the sth regiment of Biscay- sus, the 3d of Castile, and three squadrons of cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, were also under General Garcia's command. Early in the morning of the 14th the columns of Iribaren and Lebean, the first numbering 1500 infantry, 7(X) horse, and two guns,, the second the two battalions of Algiers, five battalions of troops of the line, one of Chapelgoris, and a squadron of 300 horse, marched from Leria and Larrago to join Oraa's column in the road from Sem' to Arroniz. The three generals marched iu front' to that last point. At nine in the morning the fire began at the entrance of Arroniz; it was maintained by the Carlists for three hours, but at last the village was taken by the Christinos, who forced all the positions. The fire was continued by the Carlists in retir ing to Estella, and on the heights of Nlontejura. Elie village or Arrnniz was pillaged, and several houses were burnt. Two ,pieces of Artillery were placed by the Christinos on the Her mitage and on the heights of Arroniz. The uunterous case shots which they fired thence annoyed the Carlists very much.- On the left wing, the cavalry of the Queen charged twice on the village of Igurquira, and by that means, the action becom ing general, the Carlists retired along- the whole line (firing by platoons) to the wood of Trache and to the village of Ayegui, about three-quarters of a mile from Estella. The loss of the Carlists is 240 men killed, amongst whom were ten officers of all grades, and 400 wounded, anongst whom are 12 officers:aud, a colonel. They have lost also about 50 prisoners. It is -said that the loss of the Christinos is 160 Inca killed; of:whant five areofficers,: and at least three hundred wounded, who were' •transportedlo Lerin and Puente la Reyna on the 19th'of this' moot h. On the night orthe 14th the constitutional troops entered the villages of Dicastello, Arellano, Aluniac, and Alberni, in the valley of Si,lona. On the 15th, after havingpillaged the houses of the families which had fled,.they burnt ten houses in Muni ani; and went to Oyeza, about a league and a half from Estella, in hopes to explore, on the 16th, •the villages of Cirangui.and, Manera, and some other 'Ants of the Carlist line. On the 13th and 14th, the. tribunals and Carlist juntas quitted the town of -Estella, with all their most precious effects. A detachment.Of 50 men only remained in the fortress of Pin ; all the sick and, wounded of the hospital of Trache left also, except those who were too ill to be removed. _ On the night of the 14th, several wounded Carlists, with three battalions, came to take up their quarters in Estella. On the 15th instant, 17 soldiers of the National Guards ap• peered before the Carlists in Estella. General Garcia gave them the reward which he had promised for such an attempt. General lturralde went to surrender hitnself in the castle of Guebarra, asking of Don Carlos the favour of being tried by a council of war. The Pretender arrived at Estella on the 27th, at three o'clock in the afternoon. Villareal had entered the same town on the 16th. He had but three battalions with him. The letters of the 12th from Barcelona, written by the secre tary of General Mina, announced that he was at the puiut of death at the departure of the courier. AMERICA-UNITED STATES. The New York Morning Courier of the 3d instant contains an account of a battle fought in Mexico on the 14th of July, at Ethla ' between the government troops of that republic, consist ing of nine hundred men and three pieces of artillery, under the command of General Canalizo, and the Federal troops (Revolutionists,) amounting .to six hundred men, commanded by General Alavado. The action is represented to have lasted half an hour, when the Revolutionists were completely routed, and their commander taken prisoner, with three of the principal officers, who were shot the next morning in the public square. The loss of the government troops was comparatively small. The interior of Mexico was said to be in a very agitated state, and the central government was kept in a continual state of alarm by. the dread of the revolutionary movements. The Washington Globe of the 31st ult., states that by recent intelligence received from Bogota, New Granada, it appeared that immediate arrangements were about being made for cuttiug a canal across the Isthmus of Panama; the project-had long. been talked of, but was now likely to be practically realized., Several English inhabitants of Bogota had come forward. with pecuniary assistance for its completion, and many natives of character and capital, besides Americans, were-eager to possess the credit of setting the work going. The Isthmus is about 211 miles across, and presents no obstacles that may not be over come easily and expeditiously. The government of New Gra nada seemed much disposed to encourage this undertaking, being anxious that this narrow neck of land, which separates two great oceans,and interposes a barrier to commercial enterprize, should be thrown open to science and industry. The New York papers were engaged in discussing the neces sity of having a police for that city, formed on the plan of the London police. The existing force is denounced as being very inefficient for the safety or the protection of this city. Oue of the papers says:—"A. police oi ionised on a regimental sy stem, with. different grades, promotion to accompany activity and good conduct, the members of which should be totally in,le - pzuthmt of the changeS of pity, On Mitt, through tne whole twenty-four hours, and funds provided for the prosecution of offenders would give to the inhabitants of this great city that safety and security which. they - have a right to expect, and which is essentially ne cessary to its prosperity." intelligence The from Texas represents that district of coun try as returning to a state of comparative order and quiet. An election for President was about to take place, for which there were three candidates. A n ews p a p er , called the Columbia Tele graph' had been established, whi c h con t a i ne d a goo d d e al of useful matter relative to the internal affair's of the country. General Austin is the most popular candidate for the office of President. The following extract of a letter from Galveston Island embraces the most prominent points arising out of the present peculiar position. A report that Santa Anna had es caped, and that the President ad interim was about to be im peached, turns out to be unfounded :--- "Both Santa Anna and Almonte are still at Columbia. There is nothing yet decided as to their fate. My impressien is that both will be spared, though their chance is much more doubtful than it was two months ago There has been some stir and confusion of late between the army and cabinet. All is set tled down, however, quietly and tranquilly. A report has just reached us that, so f ar f rom th e M exican ° troops at Metarnoras invading Texas, they have disbanded, and scattered off in vari ous directions. We are preparing to give them a warm recep tion if they come, and such a defeat as Mexico never met with before. lam inclined to think we shall not have much more fighting to the northward of the Rio Grande." . Business at New York was tolerably brisk ; but money con tinues scarce, and. in demand. The rates of exchange had va ried but little during the preceding six weeks.

Frankfort letters, of the 17th instant, refer to the disturbancet which, front other sources, we had learned had taken- place as Coburg. The Swiss question was -assuming a grave aspect. The Gazette de France asserts that the hermetical blockade of the cantons, threatened by France, had already commenced. Letters from Lyons. of the 20th instant, announce, that "a considerable fall, amounting almost to a panic, had taken place in the price of silks. It was attributed to the scarcity of Money, which has of late been felt in that city. Discount is very high, and obtained with difficulty. The principal cause of this crisis is Owing to the delay-of the merchants from the United States in forwarding large remittances due to our commercial houses, and, perhaps, also, but merely for a time, to the obligation un der which the founders of the bank are to pay in their share of the capital (2,000,000 f.) on the 'lst of October."—Courrier Fran cais.

His Excellency the G ivrnor, Lord Sligo, had just returned from a voyage to St. Doiniogo. in the Dee steamer. The description of the town of Hayti, which was given by his Lordship, was of the most deplorable character. A serious dispute had taken place between his Lordship and two of the highest legal officers of the island, arising out of some misinterpretation of the special instructions which he had promulgated for their guidance in the administra tion of the abolition laws. The private letters do not add to our previous information with regard to the crops; but the appreu: tices are said to continue well behaved. The exports from Kingston, from !he Ist of January to the 31st of July, 1836, were-15,111 hhds.

We have received by the West India packet papers from Bar badoes to the 6th August; Trinidad, St Kitts, and other papers have also been received. In the House of Assembly at Barba does it had been announced that the king had been pleased to appoint the Governor, Sir Lionel Smith, to the Government of Jamaica, and the house expressed its high sense of the merits of - that functionary. Great inconvenience was felt at Barbadoes from• a scarcity of small money. The hurricane seascn had commenced in this colony, after a few days of intense heat the wind having blown with extreme violence. From Dmninica we learn that a message had been sent down to the assembly stating that the governor in future would be at Liverpool to appoint his Privy Council Members of the Assembly, and he had lost no time in availing himself of the privilege, having named the speaker to that dignity forthwith. the Antigua papers announce the arrival thereof the Lieutenant Governor, who had addressed the House of Assembly.

The town to be divided into wards or districts; the commissioners to have the power to collect taxes, administer municipal property, and exercise all the functions hitherto exercised by the Burgher Senate. The accounts from Graham's Town speak of frequent robberies and other outrages: the perpetrators, however, were unconnected with the Caffre chiefs and people. These papers also contain the prospectus of the Cape of Good Hope Steam Navigation Company, capital £20,000, in two thousand shares of £lO each, deposit per share. We have late advices from Bombay. A public meeting had been held, to attract the attention of the Government in Eng..' land to the importance of steam navigation between England and India, and a petition to the . House of Commons was unani mously adopted. The reports (rem the Persian Gulf received at Bombay were not of a pleasing character. 'The Chief of the Wahabees had shown symptoms of discontent. He bad summoned all the chiefs on the Arabian side of the Gulf to meet him, 'and it was intended to form some general confederacy for piratical as well ai other purposes. The Nerbudda had arrived at Bombay from surveying the river Indus, which river was found to contain much less water than was anticipated. The Nerbudda would, however, resume the examination at the end of the monsoon. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE On Sunday morning, about half-past four o'clock, a general alarm of fire eastwrird was conveyed to the firemen all over the Metropolis from. the appearance of the heavens, but no certain information having reached several of the stations as to the locality where the flames raged, the engines were driven at con jecture, sortie passing clriwu to Rateliff, and others along the •Gommercial-road. The lire proved to be at the extensive rice. mills and granary, at the head of the Grand Surrey Canal, where, before the engines could be brought, the flames had gained a fearful ascendancy. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, who came with the engines from Watling-street, had been misled into a belief that the fire was on the Middlesex side of the river, and on finding his mistake, he, with his party, crossed the water leaving directions for the engines to be brought round as early as, possible. The float which lies off the river in this part was fortunately got to the spot at an early period, and from its im mense powers was of great service. Besides the float, ten other of the establishment engines, and forty of the men, were with as little delay as possible got to the spot, and an abundance of water being obtainable from the canal, no expense was spared ;is einoitoylOg e..tra men to keep aa the engines in itA4...elisajit and ran play. An engine belonging to the West of klngland Com -lany was present assiiiting. The damage done is fearfully great. 'he whole of the valuable and extensive mills, with the machi nery therein, are burnt clown, and the granary adjoining is ex tensively damaged. The premises and property are fortunately insured to a large amount iu the Sun, Phcenix,. Atlas, and Protector Offices. The property destroyed was situate about the middle of the dock enclosure between the basin where the shipping lay and the Surrey Canal. The mill was of great extent, and formed the end of a range of buildings used principally as granaries, which were erected nearly flush with the water edge. It was the property of Messrs. Ewbank and Cordes, and was built about twenty years back, when the docks were first formed. It was a brick erection of great height, and contained a powerful steam engine, with• much valuable machinery . for grinding rice and other grain. The whole of this property is an entire ruin ; the loft• wail next the water side suddenly upheaved from its foun dation about eight o'clock in the morning, and fell over into the canal, fortunately doing no personal injury in its fall. The opposite front was pulled down by Messrs. Ewbank and Corde.'s workmen, assisted by the firemen. Nothing rema►ns of the mill but the furnace shaft, which is of great height, and has a dan gerous appearance. The damage, which is wholly confined to he premises of Messrs. Ewbank and Cordes. is estimated at be ween £15,000 and £20,0(X). — Times of Monday. TRADE, COMMERCE, &c. Tux TEA TRADE, .MONDAY.—The clearances last week were nearly 1b600,000.: 'rho trade is rather dull. The quantity of private trade teas declared for the next series of sales amounts to about 50.000 packages. A letter of the 21st instant, front Lyons, says, " There is a great fall in the price,of silk, which is attributed to the scarcity of money. Discount is at a very high rate, and cash for bills is obtained with great difficulty. The _principal cause of this is want of remittances from the United States; perhaps, also, it may in some measure be attributed' to the necessity of the shareholders of the Bank providing , their capital of 1,000,0110 francs by October 1," INDIGO PROSPECTS.— AIthough we have bad a scorching sun (with one exception) during the last fortnight in Calcutta, the indigo planters in many -parts of the country, we hear, have had rain enough to save their plant. On the 25th and 26th, there was rain at Rauleah and all over Kishnagar. Letters from Bowsing also report showers there also. At Suksangor, there was a 'smart shower on the 23d. Towards Monghyr, we are told, the plant has also a thriving appearance; but many complaints of drought arrive from Dacca and Myinunsing, where, in general, too much rain is appreliended.--Caketta 'Courier, May 3. As a proof of the great increase in the consumption of teas, and the advantage which has accrued to the government by the opening of the trade, a statement has been prepared, by which it appears that, during the seven months ending the sth of August, 1835, the amount of teas imported was 1621,011,000, the duty upon, which was £2,189.000. During the same period of 1836, the amount of teas imported was 136,650,000, on which the duty was £3,468.000, being an increase of 1615,000,000 of teas, and A:1,279,000 in the duties.-- limes. • Bali:MOOT Suns a.—A refinery of sugar from.the beetroot is being erected at Thames Bank, Chelsea, which, it is expected, ' will be in.operatiou iu about six weeks. In the vicinity of the metropolis, during the past summer, a great many acres of land have been put into Sultivation with the root—at Wandsworth, and other places. The machinery will be principally on the plans of,the vacuum pans, and a pure refined sugar will be pro. deiced from the.juice by the first process of evaporation,-after it has simply undergone the process of decolorization. Another part of the premises is appropriated to the manufactory of coarse brown paper trout the refuse, in which it is extensively used in France. Considerable interest is excited in the agri cultural districts on the subject of the manufacture, and thede ficiencv of supply of this important branch of colonial produc tion which has been felt the last few months will, it is expected, important stimulus to this new branch of agricultur a l e ati i n dustry. iv As the different varieties of beet are indigenous to Silesia and the northern parts of Europe there can be uo doubt but that the saccharine 'moaners of the root cultivated in this country will be equal to that of France, where it is attended with so much success and profit. In case the goyerninent do not interfere, and, by renoering the product exciseable, retard or prohibit its manufacture, several individuals have it in con templation to establish refineries in different parts of the king dom for purifying sugar, which may be produced in agricultur al districts for doMestic or individual use. A refinery has lately been established at Belfast, in the vicinity of which town u pwards of 200 acres of laud have - been put in cultivation with t h e beetroot for the manufacture of sugar.—Morning Poat. A Pious CLERGY AND SENrritENTAL FLocK.—We borrow the following from the Constitutionnel and Droit of Tuesday The curate of St. noch has just bought a little piece of oak,' b e ing a fragment of the real cross. This precious .relic will on Thursday be exhibited to the veneration of the faithful. On that day, says the programme, the curates and clergy of St. Etienne and St. Laurent will proceed oe a pilgrimage to St.. lo c h. Next day will be the turn df St. Merl. Saturday the curate of Vangerard and the whole seminary of St. Sulpice will visit St. loch. Lastly, on the 19th, 20th, and 21st it will be the turns of Notre Dante de Lorene, St. Eustache, and St. Medard. Are we in the middle ages? What, a piece of the real cross! There is enough in more than two thousand churches to build it cathedral! On the night of the 1.1 August some debauched young men entered the cemetery of Louhans. provided with a lantern, several tapers, bread, wine, &c. They placed their lights round a cross; and indulged in scandalous orgies, accom panied with impious and obscene songs. They next got upon several tombs, summoned the dead beneath to appear, and vociferated songs of the most disgusting obscenity; it is even said that one of those mad youths carried his contempt of all human feeling so far as to proceed to the spot where nis own brother had been recently interred to mix his name with their drunken songs, and to invite him to their infamous banquet. For this outrage four of these worthies were sentenced, on the 3J September, to three months imprisonment and a tine of sixteen traucsi Ebe Eiberpool FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 183 G. The French papers of Monday contain no fresh news of importance. The most important topic of discussion during the preceding week is the assembling of an am bassadorial congress at Paris, a step which appears to be absolutely rendered necessary by the revolutionary feeling which pervades the whole of the western Eurn pean continent. The organ of M. Guizot's party, Le Paix, had already formally announced this project. The Moniteur states that the Madrid government has dismissed General Aldama from his command, and ap pointed Gurrea in his stead. The camp marshal, Serrano, to the political department of the interior. The Phare de Bayonne announces the junction of Gomez with Cabre ra and the chiefs Serrador, Juilez, and Esperanzo. The fortified town of Regerena had been occupied previously by his forces. Don Carlos had not left Estella; but he had despatched a fresh expedition of 2,000 men to Arra gon, under the command of Pablo Lanz, his camp marshal. From Portugal, we have no fresh intelligence. We may here add, that the present French government has given positive orders for the immediate disbanding of the legion assembled at Pan. M. Bidand, a superior officer, attached to the war department, had arrived at Bayonne, charged with this duty. Alas! poor Lord Palmerston ! We would advise your making terms with Don Carlos, or the " destiny which watches over Spain" will elude your vigorous grasp ! Mr. Edward Baines, of Leeds, proprietor of the "Mer cury," and whig member in parliament for that borough, has given the blustering demagogue, the King of the Justice Association, his dose. Whatever striking differ ences of opinion exist between Mr. Baines and ourselves in politics, we rejoice to find, that he has come forward, with the true spirit of a man, and sustained the honour of the English gentleman, by the castigation he has in flicted on that untamed and dishonourable disturber, who, not content with keeping his "unfortunate country" in one perpetual fever of turmoil and agitation, has the stupid ignorance, and the consummate impudence, to imagine, that he may with impunity beard every man, and no matter of what rank or station in our English so ciety, With his vulgar sarcasm, and coarse obloquy, who may presume to post hirnseir in the gap lie has opened, for the avowed purpose of levelling our best Institu tions with the dust. The assumptions of this braggart asserter of undefined Justice are upon a par with his total indifference to the ordinary usages of civilized life, —affecting to feel sensibly the reproofs given to himself, for his many gross provocations, he yet cuts away with the scalping knife of his malignant detraction, and whilst pleading fur "freedom of conscience," and " freedom of opinion," insolently denies the right of private judg ment—the exercise of independent thought, to every man who may possess the wisdom and the manhood to dispute his pretensions, or to disclaim his dark policy. This is precisely the case of Mr. Baines, as he states in his becoming answer, usually voting with his antagonist, on the general number and principle of the measures brought forward by their united party, or the govern ment they support. We cannot possibly feel any com miseration for the whigs generally, nor individually, under the punishment they have justly brought upon themselves, by an alliance offensive and defensive with a man, who has put himself out of the pale of all con sideration as a rational being —as an unreasonable despot in argument and a tyrant in practice, making himself, tinder a false plea, irresponsible for what ever injury he may please eventually to inflict on others, whilst eternally talking " responsibility " I His insolence, however, in this instance, will be productive of one practical good,—it will, if it has not already, remove the bandage from Mr. Baines's eyes entirely, and from the eyes of others, who have had the folly and the meanness to suffer themselves to be first hoodwinked, by this Ostler of a government, which have submitted to have the curb-bit put into its mouth, with tacit docility, that noble animals would never have en dured, but kicked him to merited destruction. "Blind Baines of Leeds"—(Mr. Daniel O'Connell's elegant phrase) at all events, it would appear, now sees his man with a lucid eye; and, we think, that lie bids fair to prove a match for Daniel in gentlemanly discussion, though we very much doubt the equal strength of his competitorship, with the shaft of blackguardism. One con solation remains for society, —common nuisances like the individual moral pest, of whom we treat, exist but for a time,—Providence has kindly limited their mischievous duration to a span,—they "strut and fret their hour," and are seen and hearcrne more; whilst the re-action of reason disperses the vapour of•their ephemeral insignifi cance. They are, strictly, what the arch satirist Voltaire described, and nothing more—" the stinging two-legged Pismires of a day " ! We have thus freely discussed the relative position of Mr. Edward Baines, M.P. and Mr. Daniel O'Connell, as supreme dictator for all Ireland ; we now come to an ex traordinary contrast, in the person of Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, the whig member for South Northumberland, and we find this gentleman, rich in consistency, stultify ing his own freely-expressed opinions relative to the dangerous course of the said Daniel—here are the two Abbots fraternising in true revolutionary style—here is the Abbot of Hexham and the Abbot of Derrynane in fraternal hag, a choice subject for " H. B. ;" the Abbot of Hexham presenting his expiation to his superior in the shape of a hundred pound penance offering to the " justice rint," and "buying a truce" from the holy men dicant disciple of Saint Ignatius ! There is no account ing for the glaring inconsistency and folly of public men ; and here is a choice specimen of the difficulty we critics of the mighty press have to encounter, in our diurnal vocation, that of fathoming the incongruities of the human character—of showing that common sense anti common honesty are really rare ingredients in the mental compo sition of those who set themselves up to be arbiters of the destinies of their fellow-mortals, in a state of political society. When we consider that hardly a short twelve month has elapsed since this very gentleman, the pro prietor of a lordly domain at Hexham Abbey, publicly and severely reprobated the conduct of the ‘.! mission ary " mountebank, in his itinerary career through the provin ces of England, and although the language, course, and SEPT. 30. 1536, conduct of the said worthy personage now manifests the self same cynanthropy, as shown by his attack on Mr. Baines, Mr. Wentworth Beaumont is blind enough to write to him, and express his concurrence and approbation, aod to makehis peace by the enclosure of a cheque for ,ElOO ! The explanation given by this independent gentleman in his letter, is altogether the most preposterous we ever remember to have read, as coming from an otherwise presumed sensible man. He (Mr. Wentworth Beau mont) prefaces that letter by admitting that " he spoke very unceremoniously of the expediency (1 ) of his, Mr. Daniel O'Connell's, agitation in England, from a convic tion that he was doing a practical injury to the cause of liberty—(to the cause of whiggery, if you please, Mr. Beaumont !)---and adds, "So when I now see you pro ceeding in a right course, I do not hesitate, with equal frankness, to offer you my humble assistance!" Admi rable patriotic consistency ! worthy this of the pen of the christian who shall condescend to record the doings of the whig legion of 1836 ! So strong is the conviction of Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, under his early conversion, that he has discovered an angel where he lately beheld a being of an entirely opposite character; and he is re solved not to be outdone, even by the church-property loving Duke of Bedford, and he frees himself from the political anathema of the reclaimed papal saint, by pur chasing his forbearance for one hundred pounds ! All this is certainly very complimentary to the •hief instigator of Ireland's woes ; but for the very life of us, we are -totally unable to discover any, the least, differ. ence in the position of the amiable Knight of Kerry this year, to that he filled last,—he is, to all intents and pur poses, the same brawling designing mischievous agent, armed only with a new power of his own creation, to. which Mr. Beaumont bows submission, and pays pecu niary homage. He is the same propounder of Organic Change—the same advocate for aggression against the House of ,Lerds,. and the same temporary defender of the entire negation of all principle, which stamps the Whig government, as he was on his English tour, with this difference merely, that he (against himself) Is shorn of some of his " laurels"—his capability of working evil, by the general burst of indignation, with which his mendicancy. and his objects were 'met in England by all classes. We therefore, come to the quality of Mr. Wentworth Beaurnout's patriotism at once; and sorry are we to be compelled to exhibit it in a light which does not redound to his advantage. It may be, that , he fancies some small atonement is due to his Pro= lege, and his justice association, for • the hasty opi nions he, Mr. Beaumont, expressed at - tire Whig-radical meeting at Edinburgh ; or that, with more probability, he has had a gentle hint from Russell head. quarters, that he must sustain the falling interests of Whiggery, by the. registration crusade in Ireland, as the Ministerial " for lorn hope," which we have already declared it to be ;: but, this " barking of your friends" will not palliate the tergiversation of a man placed in Mr. Beaumont's situa tion, nor excuse the compromise of his independence, at the cost of his consistency—his reputation, as an En glishman, nor be compeniated by being made one of the first members of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's elective irresponsible Peerage ! There has been a great fuss relative to the affair be tween the Courier, London newspaper, and Lord Nugent, the "heavy whig dragoon of Buckinghamshire," and lately Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, in which have figured Mr. James Stuart, managing proprietor of the said journal and new , factory commissioner, Mr. Pearce, his solicitor, Mr. Coles, the solicitor of Lord Nugent, Lord John Russell, his Majesty's Secretary for the Home Department, and Lord Holland, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. In consequence of some scan dal, or alleged scandal, published in the Courier upwards of twelve mouths back, Lord Nugent, it appears, instructed his solicitor to bring an action, upon which his lordship's right valiant and noble friends threw themselves into the breach, and essayed a fusilade of epistolary corre spondence against the Courier proprietor and factory commissioner, the cabinet ministers deeming it utterly inexpedient that the " sayings and doings" of the Lord High Commissioner, nothwithstanding his lordship's ire, should be brought before the.public gaze And scrutiny by ' the perseverance of the ungrateful factory commissioner; and, whether true or untrue, that the peccadilloes of their noble friend should be made the subject of vulgar discus sion, to the disparagement of the high morality of the entire whig-radical cabinet ! Hence there has been a negotiation to efict a compromise between the high and hostile functionaries, and consultations and legal coquet ting, consequent thereupon, in the first place, and in the second, on the part of the noble interposing arbiters, an attempt to shut out the lawyers altogether, which the sound lawyers, to their credit be it spoken, did not tamely succumb to, feeliug that they ought not to be thrust out of court so ungenteelly, their case and briefs being ready cut and dry for counsel, and the learned wigs of West minster Hall being in full expectation, that some special retainers, as hinted, would speedily drop in. Thus we have full five columns of Monday's Morning Post taken up with this stupid unmeaning correspond-. ence, which one would imagine the lively lord of Holland House had adroitly concocted with his liberal associate, under the hope that its publication would draw off the attention and divert the public eye from the more onerous position of the whig cabinet. We give Lord Holland great credit for his ruse on this occasion, but will not compromise our own credit by inflicting on our readers a perusal, in detail, in our columns, the letters which have passed to and fro between the two cabinet minis ters and the new commissioner of one of them, on, this occasion. They possess no public interest what-. ever, beyond that inspired by the ridiculous ; and: whilst this great and intelligent people have vital interests at stake, demanding a lofty bearing and statesmanlike deportment, we enjoin our conservative friends to have a steady eye to the " fugleman," andi leave the " bats" and the "owls," and the lovers of scan. mag. and twaddle, to satiate their appetites on this paltry feast. In the same way may we treat the correspondence which has passed between Lord John Russell and Mr. Silk Buckingham ; but there is one value in this which does not exist in the other, and that is, it gives a further exposition of the utter worthlessness of Whig faith, in its modern flimsy covering of assumed liberality—we leave our readers to draw their own, inferences—from the letters of Lord J. Russell, we have published in the latter case, their silky glossing will not hide their breach of faith nor their want of honour, whatever may be our objections to the general politics of Mr. Silk Buckingham. Since writing the preceding we find that the celebrated Mr, Joseph Parkes, the union lawyer and corporation com missioner, has finally treated the difference between the Courier and Lord Nugent. We understand, that the independent Whig Electors of Cornwall have sent a requisition to the Tory Lot Eliot, inviting his lordship to stand for that divisi,oft, the county, in the looked-for event of a vacancy ; awl afir , it has been hinted, that Major General Palmer, the whig member for Bath, also " wishes to retire," the friends of Sir W. Molesworth have been ; feeling the pulse of the " liberals" in that borough. The worthy. General, it is said, has reflected upon the demonstration, made by Sir George Strickland at Leeds, and the modera tion of his friends, Mr. Ayshford Sandford, and Colonel Tynte, at Taunton; and he begins to doubt the expe diency of the extreme measures propounded, or more probably, the power of Messrs. Melbourne and Co. to perform their contract ; and repudiating the notion of a woeful minority, has resolved to effect a retreat without sound of drum! We are uncommonly amused at the quandary i n w hi c h we are assure d t h e " powers t h at be" find themselves placed. There is a great deal of smug gling. going on, but we have our "scouts" on the alert, and assure our conservative friends that nothing is re- quired but steady and unflinching perseverance. Our Newton display has already done wonders, as may be gathered from the speeches at Wicklow, and the spleen developed. We mean nothing personal towards the Irish nation—we take her in her moral and political state, and maintain that, under the domination of a tyrannous priesthood, bigotted, selfish, and uncom promising, THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. If "A Reader" will take the trouble to make a few inquiries into the previous career of Father Maguire. he will soon aseer• lain that the line of conduct pursued by Mr. M'Neile was the only justifiable course to he adopted in treating with such a character. In acting as he has done, the rev. gentleman has at once consulted the dignity of his office - and the sacred in terests of truth. The letter of "Observator " does not•ppssess sufficient interest for publication.
