Pountney-bill, C ty.

The Company is formed for the pu-pose of carrying into
effect an agr ement made for the purchase of the undermen-
tioned oal, ron, and other Works, which have for a long
time been carried on with very satisfactory results by private
in dvidual4, and are capable of considerable expansion, with
greatly increased profits.
Tile Properties and Work 4 have been purchased on very
favourable terms, on valua,ions made by eminent mining
en. sneers.

The Works consist of-
1. The Ebbw Vale Collieries and Iron Works.
2. The Sirhowy t ollieries and Iron Works.
3. The Viet ria Collieries and Iron Works.
4. The Abersychan C illieries and Iron Works.
5. The Pontypool Collieries and Iron end Tin-plate
Works.
6. The Abercarn Collieries and the Chapel Farm Estate.
7. Wharves and Landing Stages at N, wport.
All i the c unty of Nlonm,,u h.
8. Hmmatit• lon an Coal Galeasr, s r Royalties in the
leorest of Dean. in the con i y of Gloucester
9. The Brendon Hills Carbonate of Ir.,n or Spathose
M nes, in the county of somerset.
And the Estates comprise :-
3,251 acres 01 Fre hold Land and Mines.
7.215 acres of Leasehold Mines, and agr ements for leases
havin upwards of 8 yea s unexpired
0,137 acres of Leasehold Mines, having from 10 to 50 years
unexpi red
70,. acres of Mine- in the Forest of Dean, held under a
Crown lease, re,iewable in perpetuity for perio a of .1 years.
About 9 miles in length, or about 3, 00 acres on the course
of the Spathose iron ore veins, in Somersetsh re, under leases
for about 50 years unexpired.
The leaseho d coal and iron-stone royalties are weld on
very i,,aderaie terms.
There are upwards of 2,000 houses and cottages on the free-
hold and leasehold estates.
The rentals from land, farms, and houses, amount to about
£15,000 -year.
The works afford employment to more than 15,000 persons,
repre-enting a population of 00,1.00 people.
Schools f _r the ascommo :ation of 2,200 children, and a Me-
chanics' Institute have been erected upon the estates.
There are 23 b'as, -furnaces, of which 16 are in operation at
the present time—three being cold blast.
The present annual producl of the various col ieries is
850,000 tons of coal ; and this quantity can, with a compara-
tively sma 1 outlay, be increased to 1 mil ion tons annually.
The produce of iron-stone is 280,000 tons annu .11y, which can
be increased to 410,000 tons.
Th iron-making coals on these properties are of a superior
quality, free fro, sulphur, and eminently adapted for the
manufacture of the best class of iron or steel.
The present annual yield from the furnaces is about 130,0,0
tons of pig iron, including 12,000 tons of P ntypool cold blast,
but 'he arrangements are adapted for the production of
180.0 ,0 tons. About 90,000 tons of r ils and finished iron are
sold annually, which can be increased to 120,000 tons with the
present appllanc a.
All the properties are very favourably placed in regard to
Si nation of wor a and facilities of ransport. The c al and
iron-stone mines, which are now drained end proved, will
BuPri y the pr. sent consumption, without any material in-
crease of dead charges or outlay of capital, for upwards of 50
ye re ; and with a small outlay will yield a further supply of
ceo,( 00 to aof coal per annum, for household and team par-
Poses, for a like period.
The hmmatite iron ore and coal properties held in the
Forest of Dean will shortly be opened, and pl cod in
direct communication by railway with the various iron
works, the distances between which an the place of pro-
duction will be irom 2 to 42 miles only whilst this clas of
• ore is now arried to the works 3 0 miles by water and $0
miles by rail
The Forest of Dean ore contains from 30 to 42 per cent.
Of iron, and is well known for its superior quality over other
hrem tite ores for the manufacture of the best iron and
steel. It is estimated that, when iul y ope ed, the mines now
held by the Company will produce 100,000 tons annually for
5d ears.
The very extensive and valuable mines of spathose iron
ore, in Somersetshire. belon ing exclusively to the ompany,
are the only mines of their kind now being worked in In at
Britain, excep ins the small veins found in the Durham lead
Mines When these mines are fully developed tne works of
the Company will possess a :vantages greater than any other
works in the supply of this most valuable materia for the
manufacture of the best quality of irtm and steel. And the
cost of producing spieg,eleisn (pig iron with this ore will
not exceed half the present cost of spiegeleisn deliv red
in England from Germany, whi h country furnishes near y
the whole of the supply required for the present consump-
tion.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1864.

Naval and Military Intelligence,

The Fteld-Marshal Commanding-in. Chief will hold a
Levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday next, the 6th July.
The Dauntless, 31, screw steamship, 580 horse power,
Capt. J. N. Strange, having undergone most extensive re-
airs, both of hull and machinery, in the large basin at
Sheerness, previous to her departure for the Humber as
Coastguard ship at that station, was taken to the measured
mile off Maplin Sands yesterday, in command of Ca tain
W. K, Hall, C.B , chief of the Sheerness Steam Re-
serve. for the trial of her engines. Two runs were male
with full boiler power, which gave a result of 9 291
knots per hour; the draught of water on the trial was, for-
ward, 17tt sln ; aft, 18ft Bin. After the runs on the mile
the vessel was taken at full speed a long run round the
Mouse Light and back to the Little Nore, where she is now
anchored. By orders received from the Admiralty the
Dauntless was told off as one of the Coastguard vessels in
readiness to proceed at once to the Baltic, if necessary. She
gill now proceed to Leith with the crew of the Trafalgar,
which had navigated the Edinhurgh, late Coastguard
vessel in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness. After this she
will, previously to being taken to her station in the Hum-
ber, be manned by Coastguard men and proceed on a
cruise. She is fully rigged, and has on board all her stores,
armament, and ammunition. The trial at the measured
mile is reported to have been very satisfactory.
The Caledonia, 36, ironcased ship, 4,125 tons, 1,000
horse power, master in charge jlenry S. Ley, will leave
Sheerness this day for Plymouth, in command of Com-
mander G. J. Hodges, assist.-master attendant, Sheerness
Dockyard. She will be manned by riggers from the dock-
yard, and the men belonging to the Steam Reserve at
Sheerness.

The Racoon, steam corvette, 29, Capt. Count Gleichen,
with Prince Alfred on board, arrived in Leith Roads on
Wednesday morning, and took in coals. She was to leave
next morning for the coast of Norway.
An address of congratulation was presented on Tuesday
by the Provost and Council of Musselburgh to Admiral Sir
David Milne, K.C.8., on occasion of his safe return to hie
seat at Inveresk, with Lady Milne and family, after an ab-
sence of about six years.

DUBLIN.—There is a new story commenced by
the author of " Wylder's Hind," &c. It is

impossible to form much opinion of it at this

't,, a

early stage, but it promises to coot; in much

agreeably, is in the power of almost ev ry man who is not
a fool or a stammerer, provided he has learnt to do it.

Englishmen can."

of that mystery and excitement which have
hitherto imparted so much attraction to
the pages of the author's earlier productions.

Maude, the heroine, is a very pleasing young maiden, as

she appears before us in this portion of the tale ; and some

of the othzr characters. especially Lady Knolls, are well
sketched, "Charles Townshetd, Wit and Statesman," is
the subject of an article. It is interesting to peruse, and
contains much to win attentiun. The description of his
mother is very remarkable; like moat celebrated men, he
had a clever mother, but one of a most erratic class ; her
sayings and doings were brilliant and most singular, but
doubtless they accorded well with the tastes and habits of

TEMPLE BAR.-

rhe transition stages of Isabci's mied.are very aptly

pourtray ed; and it is very well described bow the
studies to which the romantic and ill-disciplined

her day. Speaking of Townshend, the writer remarks that
he belonged to a more dramatic style than exists in our
time. "We look back to the stirring days in which he

lived, and his white plume was seen tossing in the heart of
the struggle." This is the first part only of this distin-
guished man's career, and therefore the more exciting events
will be discoursed upon more fully afterwards. This sketch

girl resorted had the effect of impriving r.tr rniud,

:is well as serving as means for passing the
time. " It. is impe.siblo to live in the constant corn-

does ample justice to Townshend, while it amply pourtrays

one who well delineated as a strange compound of "wild-

nese, impetuosity, daring, singular intellectual power, and
dazzling brilliancy." " the History of a Hero" is a very
strange production. It is in imitation of Carlyle, and chooses
a " humbler rogue" to descant upon, instead of the more
remarkable individual selected by the great writer. This
sketch is cleverly carried on throughout, and will most likely
entertain some readers. It is a very apt illustration of the
manner in which nowadays many persons delude themselves

panionship of great writers without growing wiser
and better in their grave and genial company. Slow end
subtle is the influence that is exercised, unconscious the
improvement that is wtought, but not the less certain." It
seems sad to discover that just at the epoch when her mind
was forming and her judgment accepting commonsense no-
tions, that the temptation again assailed her, but such is
natural. Those who do not act on principle must expect
to meet with risks, when they feel safe; to encounter evils,
when they imagine they have secured themselves from their
approach. Painful as this story is, it is nevertheless im-
possible not to acknowledge its fascinating influence. Its
temptations and troubles are so naturally described and
faithfully depicted, that the reader may well fancy that a
page of real life is unfolded before him instead of an ima-
ginary chronicle and a fancied portraiture of events. The
other two tales are also in a state of progression. "Broken
to Harness" contains some melancholy episodes in this instal-

meat. The Churchills do not find that their new life is so
pleasant as they had pictured it, and Barbara's uncomfott-
_

into believing cheats and villains to be geniuses and men of
talent, and when thdy undergo the penalty of their crimes,

call them heroes and martyrs. It is to be trusted that some
of the Waists will peruse this sketch, and judge for them-
selves how their impressions look In black and white.
" Yaxley and its Neighbourhood," becomes more exciting in
this number, it discloses some important facts to our notice.
In the first place, Mrs. Pilmer behaves so violently to
Lizette that the poor young girl has to leave ; her great aunt

at last acknowledges her, and she goes to live with her—a
most uncongenial home. Luke Bayly is making all sorts of

mischief and preparing other troubles for the future. He
gets a large snm from Mrs. Pilmer on pretence of having
___. .

found the will of Mrs. Meiklam. This story is very simply

but very impressively told, and many of the dramatis per-

sonce are sketched true to nature.

"The Grand-Tout,"

this time, takes us from " Dresdem to Vienna" The various
accounts are pleasingly told, and some information worthy
of knowledge may be gleaned from these pictures of foreign

lands. "Edmond About and the Landes" is a summary of

able position may serve as a warning to those who under-
take more tban they can manage. Kate Mellon is foolish

enough to give heed to slander, and seems in danger of be-
ing made the tool of a sharper. In " Paid in Full" Led-
bitter's designs are continued, and the plot is becoming de-
veloped. The adventures of Horace Bentley are very
amusingly chronicled, and his attempts at the part of a dra-
matist are most ludicrous. " In Church" is a peculiar sketch
in verse, which hardly befits the style of its subject as regards
reverence, and seems to make jokes on matters which should
be treated otherwise. " Victor Hugo on Shakspere" is
an article that is appropriate at the present time. It is
said in conclusion that it is well when the people of both
the countries of England and France are versed in the
literature of each, and best of all, that they should sincerely
admire and justly appreciate in common the immortal
writings of Shakspere. "Tree to the Last" is a sketch of
a very silly young man who deserved the fate that he met
with. " Church-street," Liverpool, figures this month
among Mr Sala's " Streets of the World." It is sketched
in his usual racy style. Other subjects of interest com-
plete the varied contents of the number, amid which appear
" A Druse Funeral on Mount Lebanon," " Catherine the
First, Empress of Russia," and some expressive lines at
the end, " Traces on the Sand "

~~~~

the writings of this author, and we are told that his al licit
and critical powers are very great, as they appear in his
"lively and agreeable stories." Ihe passages here pre-
sented of his works are certainly entertaining, and setm to
abound in quaint description and original observation.

There are some verses on the birthday of Shakespere, which
are written in a spirited style, and the writer seems im•

Pressed with the importance of his theme. "Notes on the
condition of Ireland" makes some very just remarks as to

N

the prejudice which exists respecting Ireland, when people
ought to be more tolerant. " Those silly scats work a
large amount of mischief, and they are unworthy a great
and intellectual people. As an assumption of superiority,
they are gratuitous ; as an expression of contempt, they are
irritating; and on the score of policy, they are a grave
mistake."

FRASER.—Several topics of interest are discussed
in Fraser this month. The "Land Revenue of
India', occupies a prominent place among them, and
without coinciding in all the writer's views, we
commend this carefully written article to all who
are interested in studying this great question. Mr.
Rossetti contributes a paper on the Royal Academy Exhi-
bition, which can hardly fail to gratify the lover of art,
though it shows just sufficient acerbity to befit an orthodox
artistic criticism. The writer r, minds us that lest year, in
a similar review, he specially dwelt upon three points. He
observed that the British school was becoming tinctured by
foreign infk.nces, more particularly French ones; he die-
cussed the influence exercised by the general character of
the subjects, and he touched also upon the tender topic of
d-ficient space and unfair appropriation of it. He takes.
these same points up again, and considers that the influence
of the foreign schools is, if anything, less perceptible; the
general tone of the subjects pleas, s him less than last sea•
son, while the standard subjects of complaint—the deficiency
of space and the unfair distribution of it—are passed over
with very moderate reprehension, considering the fervour
which the writer shows on the matter in other parts. " A
Campaigner at Home" is, as usual, very attractive in his
meditations. He discourses this time about idealism
and idealists, and realists, too, may take pleasure
in what ho says. The present essay is the
best he has yet given us, and it would be well it the narrow
materialism of the present day could catch a little more of
its prevailing spirit. " rhe Judges of England" is the title
of a paper which gives a series of brief photographic por-
traits of our judicial functionaries, not, hem ever, painting
them in two flattering colours. " Two Chapters " is the
somewhat singular heading of a little paper that discourses
chiefly on the malevolence of gossip. This formidable
enemy would have less power for mischief if every one fol-
lowed the sensible advice of the old Earl Marischals.
According to this author, over the door of each of their
castles were inscribed these words—
"They haif sayd;
Qhat sayd they ?
Lat them say 1"

We fear that modern common sense is far from reaching that
point. Miss Cobbe contributes an essay on ►he " Morals of
Literature," a weighty subject, somewhat heavily treated,
unquestionably souni in principle. The story of " Gilbert
Rugge " proceeds, and promises to be interesting as the
story becomes more advanced. Several poetical contribu-
tions are scattered through the number, of none of which
cart we speak very highly.
BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—Mr. Dudley Cos-

THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—This is a better
number than usual of the St. James's being more
varied in its contents than is customary. The
story of the "Man in Chains" which has for the
last several months been the cheval de bataille, is
brought to a conclusion, and certainly the author follows
the sensational fashion of his time to the extreme, The

lovers of excitement cannot possibly find any fault with
these concluding chapters, which include the recovery of a
fortune, the loss of an old estate, a double forgery, and a
double murder. There are also some incidental circum-
stances which render these events still more extraordinary.
Thus, the estate which Lord Montalban loses proves tobelong
to Silvester Langdale, his son-in-law, and this astounding
fact only becomes known in the court in which be is con-
ducting his father-in-law's case, in his capacityas barrister.
The particulars of the forgery are still more original, but
we will leave the admirers of the marvellous to discover
them for themselves. "Among the Hops" is the title of
a pleasant chapter on our English vineyards, which the
writer styles the most graceful of agricultural products.
The plant itself, which is generally supposed to be indi-
genous to this country, was, he tells uiz, brought from
Flanders at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but it
has certainly naturalised itself since that time to very good
purpose. A paper on poor " John Clare," whose story is
one of the most mournful chepters in literary history, is
well worth reading, and is written in a kindly and appre-
ciative spirit. It is to be hoped that patrons and poets
will alike taka warning—the one of the difficulty and dan-
ger of transplanting a man from his native sphere, and the
other of the fickleness of popular favour, and the transient
nature of fame so easily won. The "Records of an 011
Police Court" stow some entertaining varieties of felon
life, and " Art in Aid of Beauty" gives some directions to
ladies as to the choice of colours, &c., many of which are,
we fear, too elaborate to be impressive. There are several
other tales and sketches, besides various poetical contribu-
tions of no very high order of merit.

MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—" The Hillyars and
he Burrows" still occupies the prominent place in

Macmillan. As the reader might have inferred from
the last chapter, old Sir George has died intestate, and
Erne Hillyar is consequently turned adrift upon the world.
He resolves to share the Burtons' fortunes, and to go with
them to Australia, but Emma, whose conduct appears to be

extravagant and unreasonable, objects to such a course.
Mr Maurice, whose name is better known as a theologian
than a politician, discourses about corruption at elections,

tel,o, having completed his history of Mr.
G timshaw's adventures, has now commenced
the narrative of Mr. Tomkins's summer tour
As may be conjectured from the title, it ib
similar in style and character to its predecessor.
Mts. Flushby concludes her Danish story of'' Mrs-
alliance," and it is satisfactory to find that Helena dis-
covers the worthlessness of her noble lover in good time.

Francis Jima gives us an article on Ben Junson's morose
and similar unhappy mortals. Messrs. Bass and Babbage will
read the essay with great sympathy and approbation. The
overwrought condition of nerves, which is too often the penalty
of excessive mental application, is a melancholy picture. The
troubled and change ul life of Queen Hortense, the mother
of Napoleon 111., is briefly chronicled in an interesting
paper. Dr. Michelson shows " Lottery and Hazard" in
their true colours, but they are not so dangerously fascinat-
ing here as abroad. In this country we reserve our games
of hazard for our financial speculations. " The Steamboat
to St. Cloud" gives an animated picture of a traveller's
adventures. "Street Trades in Paris" is another French
paper well worth reading, and a notioe of Mr Kirwan's book
on " Dinners, Wines, and Desserts" will help to enlighten
the uninitiated respecting the secrets of good living. The
editor's story of "John Law" proceeds with undiminished

and plainly tells us that a good many very respectalle
people are guilty of exercising illegal influence, directly or
indirectly. The Editor's Recollections of Dead Men
whom he has known are this month especially interesting,
for they recall Dr Chalmers. Another literary portrait is
given us by Mr Dicey, who portrays Nathaniel Hawthorne
with a careful and discriminative hand. He was, according
to th s writer, quite out of harmony with his people and his
time, belonging rather to that race of scholars and philoso-
phers who love to dream in their studies than to the hard
bustling business world of the United States. "How he
ever came to have been born in that bustling New World
became, from the first moment I knew him, an increasing
mystery to me. If ever a man was out of his right ele-
ment. it was Hawthorne. He belonged indeed to that
scattered Shandean family who never are in their right
places wherever they happen to be born—to that race of
Hamlets to whom the world is always out of joint any-
where." The portrait thus drawn is not a pleasing one,

though probably lifelike. "A Son of the Soil" proceeds
with interest, though it is rather diffuse; and "The Last
Days of Sonderborg" gives a description of the quiet home
his of the little town a few days before its bombardment.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The opening
article is on Edmond About's work on " Progress,"
and is well written and interesting. " The Dinner
Test of Grief" is a curious paper, commenting on
the effects of anxiety or sorrow upon appetite.
" Irving at Sunnyside" gives us some pleasant
pictures of the author. It is remarked that even in an age
when successful authorship has been so abundantly remu-
nerated, few have been so fortunate as Irving. From his
English copyrights he had derived upwards of twelve thou-
sand pounds, and in his native country more than 150,000
dollars. The stories of "Strathmore" and "The Quest"
are continued, and that of " Won Over" concluded, so that
the lovers of fiction have nothing .o complain of. Another
story of a sadder and deeper interest is began in the first
part of a tale of Cawnpore. " The Parting on the Prairie"
is a sketch of American life, and " The Reign of White
Terror" gives a dismal picture of the work of an infuriated
and unreasoning mob.
CORNHILL.—" Brother Jacob" is the first subject
in this number of this periodical. It is a very clever
