PROSPrCTVS :

The St. Aubyn Mineral Company, Limited, is formed for the
purpose of working one of the most celebrated mines of tin
and copper in the West of Cornwall, hitherto known as Pen-
berthy Consols, and for crushing, dressing, and otherwise
'making marketable all ores, metals, and minerals obtained
therefrom.

These extensive mines are situate in the parish of St. Hilary,
Cornwall, about three miles from the port of Marazion, and
the same distance from the wharves and foundries of Hoyle,
and extend about two miles east to west on the course of the
main lodes, and about three-quarters of a mile north to south,
and contain at least thirteen known lodes. They comprise,
within their limits tracts of land known as Penberthy Crofts;
and Trevarton Downs to the westward, and Wheal Fancy and
Enys Wheal Virgin to the eastward, all of which are well
known in the county for The large returns of tin and copper
they have made. .
..According to the reports, furnished to the directors, and
upon which they implicitly rely, the immediate neighbourhood
is well known from the immense returns made by Oreat Wheal
Fortune,• Wheal Bolton, and Wheal Prosper Mines, on the
same main lode to the west of Penberthy Crofts, as well as
Wheal Virgin on the east. Wheal Anna is on the south boun-
dary, where, from one lode only, £l,OOO worth of mineral is
being raised monthly.
• Penberthy main lode (from five to eight feet wide) was
extensively worked about thirty-five years since to a depth of
110 fathoms. Large quantities of rich ore were taken away at
each level, and the backs worked on tribute; at from 2s: Gd. to
7s. in the £l. The lode at the deepest point is from six to
seven feet wide, and is worth from six to eight tons of rich
copper ore per fathom; there is plenty of valuable ore ground
laid open, sufficrentto employ hundreds of Tributers. Many of
them have already applied to the manager on the works for
permission to take pitches at from 2s. 6d. to 10s. in the £l.
These extensive works were suspended many years ago,
owing to the price of all metals having then, considerably
fallen in the market, and the inability to obtain, during a
season of great commercial depression, sufficient capital to
carry on the working of the mines with vigour and energy ;
although for several, years prior to the stoppa? e of the mines
the annual returns of tin and copper ore exceeded in value
£30,000.
Since this period, the burrows on Penberthy Crofts (left by
the former company as worthless) have returned upwards of
£5,000 worth of tin, and are now being worked at a profit. A
small parcel of ore is now on the mine.
The directors are advised that £2e,000 will probably suffice
to bring the mine into a state to pay costs, but, with the view
of enabling them to make it as remunerative as possible, they
have fixed £40,000 as the minimum capital on which to base
their operations, and unless £40,000 shares are subscribed for,
the deposits paid will be returned free from any deduction.
Many an, undertaking of high promise has been brought to a
stand from failure to provide an ample capital ; and the public
,onEsgthe'
will recognise in this provision a guarantee against such a
contingency in the present case.
The reports and extracts, with the plan, will explain many
particulars as to the nature and extent of the discoveries
already made ; the extent of the present, and the general pro-
positions for future, operations,. as well as showing the
£2,500 in cash, and the
extra-
ordinary quantity of Mineral raised in this district.

WRECK OF A LARGE SHIP ON THE BLACK WATER
BANK.—CkHonx, Dec. 11.—I have to report that the
ship Sonniouth, Cumming, master, from Fleetwood,
bound to Savannah, North-America, struck-the Black-
water Bank last night. The captain's wife and seventeen
of the crew arrived in their boats, near this place ; but
ho himself and three of his crew are on board the
Blackwater Light-ship. The life-boat of the Royal
National Life-boat Institution was put to sea as soon as
we heard of the wreck ; but she had not returned in time
to report further particulars before the post closed.
A NEGRO CLERGYMAN IN THE PULPIT.—On Sun-
day evening last, Trinity Church, Chatham, was much
crowded in consequence of the announcement that the
Rev. Mr. Taylor, a ne,,,ro clergyman, and a native of
Africa, would preach a sermon, the novelty of a coloured
clergyman occupying the pulpit in an English church
attracting. a large congregation. The rev. gentleman,
who has been ordained under the auspices of the Church
Missionary Society, appears to be highly accomplished,
his sermon, which was listened to throughout with the
deepest attention, being delivered with considerable
eloquence, and its matter giving proofs of a cultivated •
mind. He is about to return to the interior of Africa,
to be employed in missionary labours.
THE GREAT EASTERN.—SOUTHAMPTON, DCC. 13.--
Her Majesty took a short cruise up the Southampton
Water yesterday afternoon in the Fairy yacht, which,
after steaming round the Great Eastern, returned to
Osborne, and the royal party disembarked and drove to
the Palace. The visit was strictly private, the yacht
not even having the royal standard hoisted. It has
been decided, with the concurrence of Lord Palmerston
and' the other distinguished personages who had accepted
invitations, to postpone till after the Christmas holidays
the banquet proposed to be given by the Chamber of
Commerce to the directors of the Great Ship Company.
ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A DISSENTING PREACHER.
—A 'man named William Chick, who used to do duty
as a dissenting preacher, was committed for trial by the
magistrates at Hereford, on Monday, on a charge of
felony. He was in a position of trust in the shop of
Mr. Chandler, a boot manufacturer. Being suspected,
an investigation was made on the first day of the present
month, which led to the disclosure that Chick was
between £2OO and £3OO deficient. In explanation, he
gave Mr. Chandler a long list of persAns who, he 'said,
had had goods from the shop without paying for them ;
but when inquiries were instituted into the correctness
of those presumed outstanding accounts, it was found
that the statement was false. Prisoner made no defence,
and was admitted to bail, himself in £2OO, and two
sureties in £lOO each.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.—Madame de
Saint Huberti gave, in 1787, some very brilliant repre-
sentations at the Strasbourg Theatre. She was espe-
cially admired in the Dido of Piccini. Having played
this part with more than usual eclat and success, the
while at her toilet, a scarcely
legible
mans, who extol your illustrious origin, behold, on what
note, oat ea,y IsSilleierheeefiinveiled with this strain :—"Ro-
depended the birth of your empire. Dido did not pos-
sess charms sufficiently powerful to prevent the flight
of her obstinate lover. But if the other Dido—the
ornament of our age—had been Queen of Cartilage, in
order to serve her he would have abandoned his gods
and your beautiful country would be still uncivilised."
Madame de Saint liuberti, having read it, called her
femme de dambre, and asked who had brought sosal-
lant a note. " A young man of about 19, wearing the
epaulettes of a lieutenant of artillery." "About 19 !
that is very young to haie so much wit and admiration ;
but they learn to blaze very early in
the artillery. Learn
his name that I may thankhim." The next day
Madame de Saint Iluberti learnt that the author was
11 called Napoleon Bonaparte.—Siecle Industricl.
INCOMPARABLE ACCOUNT BOOKS. -- The commis-
sioners of taxes for the Isle of Wight district have had
their hands full of business for theJast week, in hearing
appeals from hundreds of discontented individuals from
•ali parts of the island, who conceived they were charged,
or overcharged, to the income tax unjustly; and amongst -
others who appeared on Monday last, figured the aged
landlord of a small public-house at Yarbridge, (named
Cave,) who came to "peal," as he called it, against
having been assessed upon a hundred pounds per annum
for 'his small beer brewery, the profits upon which,
he declared, were even smaller than his beer,
when the following humorous colloquy took place :
